FROM and after the first day of January 1861,
my business will change from an everlasting
credit, to a strictly Cash business. I prefer the
cash if the profits are not so good. I have
bought goods on time and sold them on time,
and the consequence is, I cant collect enough to
meet my liabilities.
I am very thankful to my old friends and cus
tomers for past patronage, and hope they will
continue to call at the same old stand with the
ready cash, where they will always find a com
plete stock of Gboceries and PkovisTons. 1 will
sell goods lower than any house in the city who
sell on time. Respectfully.

We gather from the Memphis (Tenn)
Appeal of July 24th, the following’in
formation relative to affairs in Missou
ri.
Kansas City, July 19.—The Fort
Scott Democrat, of the 13th, furnishes
the following Items :
Gen. Lyons, who is now marching
S"uth towards Springfield,. has about
COO men, including Major George’s com
mand, 24 pieces of field artillery of all
descriptions, an abundance of ammuni
tion and a full train of baggage wag
ons.
Md’ulloch and Jackson have retuC.Tf
ed across the Arkansas line for the pur
pose of drilling their troops. Their av
ailable force is placed at 11,500, i iclu
di g tbe Texan Rangers and a Missis
sippi regiment. Gen. Lyons strength
will be between 10,000 and 15,000. The
Jay hawkers under Janneson have been
stationed on the State line, below this
place, some days. Janneson will main
tain a force of from 200 to 500 men in
that region, until the United States
troops an ive A train which passed
this place about a month since, with the
families and property of the United
States soldiers fiom the Indian country
was intercepted and searched by him a
few days since.
There can be no d >ubt but Missouri
is to be the Western battle field, and it
will be a bloody one. She needs all the
help she can get, and if she is not sus
tained Arkansas, Texas and Lousianna,
and other States South of us will sutler.
It is useless to shut our eyes to these
things, and our millitary men must look
to tlie defense of the Arkansas border,
in order to preserve the other States of
the Confederacy South. Virginia will
be the Eastern battle ground, and Mis
souri the Western, and the sooner Mis
souri receives aid, the better it will be
for the States < outh of us.
The Republican makes the following
brief mention of the worse than infernal
atrocities perpetrated by the Lincoln
hirelings in North Missouri.
The death of Mr. Palmer, as repic
sented to us, rivals in atrocity the acts'
of the mountains. He was taken pris
oner, and in the hands of the Zouaves.
They proposed to hang him. He entreat
ed for his life declaring that he was
loyal to the government. A rope was
put around his neck, and he was taker*
across the track in the direction of a
tree from which it was designed to sus
pend himself. Rather than suffer suck
a fate, he attempted to escape, and the*
chivalrous soldiers fired upon him. The
ballsjtore his head off,and his body was
perforated with bullets. It was said, but
we will not. believeit, ihat thecemmand
was to take no prisoners.
A man called Bill Enwards was also
killed.
At. Jonesborough station, a father
and two sons, by tl.c name of bkinner
were killed.
Ihe Fori Smith Timesand Herald, of
of the 12 li has the following.
Major Potter, sheriff of this county,
returned from Missouri last night di
rect from Carthage the scene of the late
conflict between General Raines and
the St. Louis Dutch. He tells us that
the battle was fought principally with
cannon, th • Dutch hailing eight pieces
an<l the Missourians seven. The con
tending parties in the fight ran over, ill
retreating and changing, about fifteen
miles ot g ound. They fought all day,
ami when the Dutch retreated they
kept up firing until 10 o’clock at night.
The Missourians lost eight killed
and two mortdly wouidcd, besides oth
ers slightly wounded. 'J he Dutch lost
a large number, most of them being
thrown into wagons and hauled off, ami
eighteen found dead on the field, a. part
of which were found in a creek in tlio
water.
Gen. McCulloch’s and Pearce’s com
mand did not reach the scene of action
until the day after the fight, and could
not pursue the enemy, as the men and
horses were too much jaded by forced
marches If they had been able to pur-,
sue the enemy, the whole command
would have been captured. Captain
Mclntosh, adjutant general proposed to
lake 1,000 men and pursue them, but
it was not thought best.
Major Porter speaks in the highest
terms of the I ravery and gallantry of
Captain Mclntosh. He was with him
when he captured the Dutch at Neosho.
He says that as they enter d the town
of Neosho the women cheered them by
the waving of handkerchiefs and bon
nets. The Dutch were quartered in the
court house, and Capt. Mclntosh gave
them ten minutes to surrender, and
which they did in nine, marching out
of the court house, kneeling upon cue
knee, and deliverieg up their arms.
Capt. Mclntosh turned to our troops and
said he hoped the troops would trefct
the prisonsi s well, for ilie honor of Ar
kansas. Then seeing the old flag flying,
he said it ought to come down, which
was no sooner said, than down it came.
The women standing bp tore it into
shreds. Jftor picking up all tl.c pick
ets and fellows with soldier clo hes on .
there turned out to be one hundered and
twenty prisoners.
It is stated that there are between
the Georgia line and Manassas some
twenty thousand Confederate troops on#
the road to Virginia. And this is not all
—the riivnbef is GQD.Uuually increasing.
