by a citizen of Booneville who never states as truth what he doesn't know to be truth: An account of the fruitless interview between Gov. Jackson and Gen. Price, commander-in-chief of the Missouri militia, on the one side, and Gen. Lyon and Col. Blair on the other, you have no doubt seen, as well as the proclamation of Gov. Jackson, calling for 50,000 State troops, which followed. Immediately after issuing the proclamation which named no point of rendezvous for the troops, steps were taken ent of the others. The Federal officers give them credit for bravery. General Lyon, with his command, entered the town about 12 1/2 o'clock without any opposition whatever, establishing his Headquarters at the Fair Ground, and quartering Col. F. P. Blair's regiment in the Thespian Hall. General Lyon came into our midst with considerable prejudice existing in the minds of many against him. He had been represented as being blood-thirsty and unscrupulous. His men had been represented as bei

, was shot to pieces, and sunk into the river, the remainder, about 1,800 or 2,000, retreated to Jefferson City. All their boats were captured. Boernstein, who was in command at Jefferson City, immediately after their defeat telegraphed to F. P. Blair, Jr., who had command in St. Louis, to send up all the forces he could possibly spare. Upon receipt of the despatch he sent up 3,000 troops from St. Louis, the evening before I left.

Mr. Benjamin Franklin, New Orleans, Louisiana. Enclose the letter in another envelope, with twenty cents' worth of United States Government stamps, and direct as follows: American letter Express Co. Louisville, Kentucky. This must be paid with one or two three-cent stamps, according to weight. The twenty cents' worth of postage stamps pays ten cents to the Express Company for their trouble, and enables them to pay the bogus Confederacy postage, which is ten cents from Louisville to New Orleans, the distance being over five hundred miles; but if the letter is intended for a point distant from Louisville less than five hundred miles, then the Confederacy postage will be but five cents. It is understood that this arrangement has been entered into with the knowledge and consent of Postmaster-General Blair, and, if properly carried out, as we have no doubt it will be, must prove a great benefit to the people of both sections of the Union.--Buffalo Express, June 22.
