From St. Louis. --Siegel Dismissed.--The Louisville Courier prints the following extract from a private letter from St. Louis, dated Aug. 24, 1861; Things are as bad as ever here. Men are being arrested daily, judged and consigned to the House of Labor, and imprisoned. Christian Pulls was arrested this morning and sentenced to thirty days labor. Brownlee is preparing to leave with his family, under the sentence to leave the State in four days. The New York News is still coming, but it will be stopped. The Louisville Courier is cut off.

The Democrat of this morning says that Siegel and his staff were mustered out of service on Thursday evening las

I married in North Carolina: all my property is here; am an acting Justice of the Peace in Yadkin, and have been for many years, and have held offices of trust and profit under the State, and have repeatedly sworn allegiance to North Carolina. I settled here to remain permanently, and have never altered my intention of remaining. Am I required to do any act under that proclamation? An answer will oblige, Yours, truly, Jas. R. Dodge. Yadkin, N. C., Aug. 24, 1861. Richmond Hill, Aug. 26, 1861. James R. Dodge, Esq.--Dear Sir: Upon the facts stated in your note of the 24th inst., my opinion is, that the act of the Congress of the Confederate States promulgated by the President does not apply to your case; for the reason, that by the act of removing to this State in 1820, with an intention of remaining here permanently and becoming a citizen of the State of North Carolina, you became one of our citizens "by election," as fully, to all i

the freedom of my country. And believing, sir, that it would be disingenuous in me to retain my commission until the Government might require my service in such a contest and then decline to serve, I consider it but prudent and just to now tender my resignation as a Captain in the United States Marine Corps.
