The Daily Dispatch: April 20, 1861., [Electronic resource], Missouri 's response to Lincoln
Missouri's response to Lincoln's Proclamation.
--Gov. Jackson, of Missouri, has replied as follows to the requisition from Lincoln's Secretary of War:
Executive Department of Missouri, Jefferson City, April 17. Sir
--Your dispatch of the 15th inst., making a call on Missouri for four regiments of men, for immediate service, has been received.
There can be, I apprehend, no doubt but that these men are intended to form a part of the President's army to make war upon the people of the seceded States.
Your requisition, in my judgment, is illegal, unconstitutional and revolutionary, and in its object inhuman and diabolical, and cannot be complied with.
Not one man will the State of Missouri furnish to carry on such an unholy crusade. (Signed,)C. F. Jackson, Governor of Missouri.
The Daily Dispatch: April 20, 1861., [Electronic resource], "The Bulls and Bears." (search)
"The Bulls and Bears."
--It has already been stated that a combination exists in Wall street to bully the Border States into the support of Lincoln's policy.
This is more fully exposed in the financial article of the New York Day Book, April 17:
The boys of Wall street believe all the silly stories about the poverty of the South, told by the abolition papers.
Virginia State 6's tumbled down to 50, a fall of 12 to 13 per cent, against yesterday, and yet it is easy to foresee that if the Union is divided, as Lincoln evidently wants if to be, Virginia will be what New York State now is, While New York city will become like Portland and Boston, a mere provincial town.
The brokers of Wall street know no more of the laws of commerce than they do of belles letters.
All the other Border State stocks have tumbled.--Perhaps it will scare the people of those States to submit to Lincoln's subjugatory army — and then perhaps it won't.
Kentucky.
--A dispatch from Louisville, April 17, says:
An extra meeting of the City Council was held this evening, and $50,000 appropriated to arm the city.
It is rumored that a steamer, with Government arms, is en route from St. Louis to Newport, Ky. It is likely that she will be stopped on her trip.
Ex-Vice President Breckinridge writes from Richmond, Ky., to a friend here, as follows:
"Kentucky should call a Convention without delay, and Lincoln's extra session of Congress should be confronted by fifteen States.
This alone can prevent a general civil war. "
The abhorrence to Lincoln's proclamation is intense amongst the people.
Breckinridge will speak in Lexington to-morrow night, and at Louisville on Saturday.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Old Mecklenburg thoroughly aroused. Clarksville, Va., April 17th
On Saturday night last, the Roanoke Guards paraded in honor of Edmund Ruffin, whose career in South Carolina has been unanimously approved of by the people in this section of the country.
Accompanied by a torchlight : procession, the "Guards" proceeded up Main street, and having halted it front of one of our most noble edifices, were addressed by T. T. Boswell and E. K. Harris, Esqs.
Mr. Boswell endorsed the course of South Carolina in resisting he usurpations of Black Republicanism, and remarked if Jeff. Davis would march through Virginia, en route for Washington, we would join his army and swell out his forces, so that one gaze at his formidable army would be sufficient to cower Black Republicans.
The speech of Mr. Harris was equally as eloquent, also lucid and terse.
Mr. Harris is a young man, and, judging from his intellectual endowments, bids fair to become renown

Shocking outrage.
--A correspondent, writing from Henry county, Va. April 17th, says :
One of the most fiendish outrages was lately committed, a few miles from this place, that has ever been perpetrated in this section of country.
Col. Peter Penn had as an overseer Mr. David Stuart. One of the negroes ran away, and had been absent a few days.--Mr. Stuart's daughter, a young lady, was at the barn, near the house, when she was seized by this negro and choked down, when he committed a hellish outrage on her, and then beat her until he left her dead upon the ground.

There is strong probability that he will be taken from jail and burnt, as the people are greatly excited about it.
