n or sugar sent to New Orleans for shipment should be protected by the United States forces.--National Intelligencer, May 30. Last night, Lieutenant Caldwell, of the light artillery, received information of the return to his home in Andrew County, Missouri, of the notorious Captain Jack Edmundson. For some months past Edmundson had been with the rebel army in Southern Missouri and Arkansas, but had now returned, as was supposed, for the purpose of raising a guerrilla company, stealing a le look-out, and escaped from the house just as the party approached. He was pursued, and so hot was the pursuit, that he dropped his blanket and sword, but reaching some thick brush, managed to escape. The party then proceeded to other parts of Andrew and Gentry Counties, and arrested some twenty men whom Edmundson had recruited for his gang. They were all carried to Saint Joseph's and confined.--St. Joseph's Journal, May 8. General Dumont, with portions of Woodford's and Smith's Kentuck

county, and lives there yet. Mahala, my oldest sister, was given to Mr. Green White, who was married to Mary Ann Campbell. She got married after she went home with them. She had five children by her husband, and then she was sold away from them. Her husband, Joe Brown, was driven out — of the house some three or four years before she was sold; he belonged to another master, and Mr. White did not like him about his house. I know nothing about Joe; his wife was sold somewhere up in Andrew county, and I have heard nothing of her since. I do not think she has ever seen her children from that time. I know that four of them are with Mr. White yet, and that she is not there; and that, about two months after she was taken away, her oldest boy, Henry, was sold down South. My son has kept track of them. Mahala told me she was treated very badly by her mistress. She often tried to whip Mahala; but as she was sickly she couldn't do it — for we girls never would allow a woman to st

Oregon; the other southwestward to Salt Lake, the Humboldt, and California. The western boundary of Missouri was originally a line drawn due north as well as south from the point where the Kansas or Kaw river enters the Missouri; but in 1836 a considerable section lying west of this line, and between it and the Missouri, was quietly detached from the unorganized territory aforesaid and added to the State of Missouri, forming in due time the fertile and populous counties of Platte, Buchanan, Andrew, Holt, Nodaway, and Atchison, which contained in 1860 70,505 inhabitants, of whom 6,699 were slaves. This conversion of Free into Slave territory, in palpable violation of the Missouri Compromise, was effected so dexterously and quietly as to attract little or no public attention. At the first session of the XXXIId Congress (1851-2) petitions were presented for a territorial organization of the region westward of Missouri and Iowa; but no action was had thereon until the next session, wh

Altgeld, John Peter, 1847- Lawyer; born in Germany, in December, 1847; was brought to the United States in infancy by his parents, who settled near Mansfield, O.; received a public school education; entered the Union army in 1863, and served till the close of the war. In 1869 he was admitted to the Missouri bar; in 1874 was elected State attorney of Andrew county, Mo.; in the following year removed to Chicago; in 1886-91 was judge of the superior court of that city; and in 1893-97 was governor of Illinois. His action in pardoning (June 27, 1893) Fielden, Schwab, and Neebe, who had been imprisoned for complicity in the Haymarket atrocity by alleged anarchists, excited strong and general criticism (see anarchists; Chicago). His publications include Our penal machinery and its victims; Lice questions; Oratory; Its requirements and its rewards (1901); etc.

From Missouri.the Confederates at St. Joseph. St. Louis, Sept. 14. --Advices from North Missouri, (through Northern sources,) state that since the withdrawal of the Federal forces from St. Joseph, the Secessionists of that region are arming again. Some 2,000 are concentrated in Andrew county, under Major Poller, and about the same number of Unionists, composed of Missourians and Iowans, under Colonels Croner and Andrews, are stationed in the same region, and both are preparing for a battle, which is shortly expected. Washington telegrams of yesterday announce that St. Joseph is now completely in the hands of the Confederates. This news confirms the following: Hannibal, Mo., Sept. 12. --All we hear confirms the previous reports that the Secessionists have full possession of St. Joseph and are doing pretty much as they please in that city. It is reported that they have taken control of the municipal affairs of the corporation, preventing egress and ingress of both

is aided by an armed mob, which illuminate the heavens nightly with the light of burning dwellings, which burn to the music of dying father's moans and the shrieks of mothers and children, fleeing from their burning houses through the lonely prairies and dark forests, white they seek safety among the haunts and lairs of wolves and wild beasts from the bloody fury of their more savage fellow men. Twenty-five men have been shot dead in their own houses, and thirty dwellings turned in Andrew county (next north of St. Joseph) within twenty days. Mrs.--'s dwelling — the finest in this county now, and costing $13,000--was burned last week by a squad of soldiers from this place in mere wantonness. A neighbor's, by the name of--, was burned at the same time. The counties of Jackson, Bass, and Bates are a total desolation. Over one thousand houses have been burned — the owners murdered wherever caught — and every thing stolen that could be removed. A furious radical party now thr<
