According to our information, tfiere were not
less than thousand nfcm under (’apt. Ly
on, (couijnanding.the United States troops at
this .post,) with about twenty piectft of artil
lery. • .
The® troops, as stated above, marched at
•, cliek time up Market street, and on arriving
atVamp JohnSbn, rapidly surrounded it, plant
ing batterie> upon .all the heights, ovealooking
tlie camp. Long files of men were stationed
it I'dattoons at various points on every sirle, and*
a picket guard established covering an wea of,
say, two hundred yarus. The guard, with'fix
ed bayon*ts®and muskets half-cocked, were in
structed to allow none to pass or repass within
the limits thus tafteiaup*. ®
By ti)is t"ime an immense crowd of people
had assembled in the vicinity, havyig gone j
thither in carriages# bugeyes, rail car> a , baggage
wagons, on horseback, and on fost. Numbers ;
of men seized rifles, shot guns, or* whatever j
othCrNvcapons flicy could lay hands upyn, and
rushed.pell mell to the assistance of the State*
troops, but were, of course, obstructed in their
design. The hills, of which there are a num
ber in the neighborhood, were literally ‘black
with people, hundreds of ladies and children
stationing themscivo* with tlfe throng, but as
they thought, out of harm’s Why.
(Jen. Frost, comtyandintr Camp Jackson, re
ceived the intelligence of the advance of the
Arsenyl troops, with equanimity, but with some
astonishftieiTt. . He had heard repost* that it
was the design “of Cant.. Lyon to attack his’
camp, but was not at first disposed*to place* crc
* dcnce in thcin. So rapidly did .these rumors
come to him, however,"that yesterday he ad

Q
® It is, for the most part, made up of those se- o
cdssionists who have openly avowed their lios
tility to the General Government, and have
been plotting nt*the seizure of its property and
the overthrow of it;?authority.* You are open
ly in communication with South
eAi Confederacy, which is now at war Vith the
United States, and you are receiving at your
camp, from the said Confederacy, and under
its flag, large supplies of the material of war,
most of which is known to be the property of
► the United States. These extraordinary prep
arations plainly indicate none other the
well known purpose of the Governor of this
State, under whose orders you are acting, and

Capt. 2d Infantry Coniftia*ding Troops..*
Imaiediately on the receipt of the foregoing,
<cn. Frost trailed a hasty*®consultation of the
officers of Ufostaff. The conclusion arrived at
wasoabout as follows p The Brigade was in n
condition to muke®resistance to a spree so nu
merically superior With but a pieces of
small calibre, ai*i with less than a dozen rounds
,®of cartridges for his command, a „battlc must
necessarily be ot short duration, and of but one
result —the total route ;fnd defeat of the Btate
troops. To have withstood an attack would
have bp eh sheer recklessness and cruelty to the
meh of Gen. Frost's command. In short, the
Brigade was not bv any means in a war condi
| tion. Gen. Frost stated, however, that jie had
no war to wage aipon the United States or its
troops; that he was only acting in cheerful obe
dience to the order of his superior*officers, ami
in compliance with the laws of the State; that
he lyul anticipated no conflict, and would not
willingly jeopardize tfte lives of his men in Any
thing that might be construed iyto hostility to
the l nited States Government. Only one
course was t* be pursued, and that was quickly
agreed upon, viz: a surrender.
Tl*e demand of Capt*Lyon was accordingly
agreed to. The fjtato troops were, thcref ae j
j made ppspners of*war, but an offer was made to
release tnem.on condition that they would take
an oath to support the Constitution of tlie Uni
joted States, anti woTild swear not to take up
arms against the Government. * „
‘The preparations for the surrender and for i
marching, as prisoners,.ifnder the escort of the t
Arsenal troops, occupied an hour or two. The
Brigadewas then termed ip line, headed by
Gen. Frost and his staff, on horseback, with ol- ;
ors flying, and drums beating, marched through
the wood skirting the road up to an* opening
that had beefi made in the fence near.4he turp- !
pike.. Here a halt was ordered for some reason,
and the opportunity was improved by a large
crowd of excited citizens to draw near the offi- j
cers of*the staff and salute them wflh cheers. ■
• About halFpast five*the prisoned of war left
thd grove twid entered the road, the United
States soldiers enclosing them.by a single fll®
stretehimi along each side td* the line. A halt
wgs ordered and the troops remained standing
in the position they had deplpy*ed on the road
in. The head of the column at the time rest'd
opposite a snfill hill on the left gs you approach <
the city, an<2 the rear was on a Tine with the
entrance to the grov>e. Vast crowds of people
covered the surrouixjiitg grounds aurl every
fence and housetop in the vicinity. Suddenly
the sharp reports of several firp-arms were
heard from the front of the column, and the
spectators that lined the adjacent hill were
seen*fleeing in the*greatcst dismay. It appear
ed that several members of one of the German
companies, on being by the crowd aui
receiving some blows from tkcxif, turned aud
discharged their pieces. * Fortunately no one
was iiyurcd, and tlfe soldiers who Ifad done tlie
act were at once, placed under arrest. Hardly,
however*had tanqilit*y been restored, when
volhA after*volley of rifle reports were suddc.n
ly hail’d from the extreme rear raifks, aud men,
wonyin and children wcrs bebeid lmnning.wild
-2y a fid frantically away fr*>m.the scene.
while rflnryng, were suddenly struck
to the socs, aiftl the wounded and. dying made
tlie late. beautiful field look like a battleground.
We went over the grove iwimediately alter the
occurrence,, and a more fearlul and ghastly
si gilt is seldom seen. Men lay gasping in the
‘agony of dcsth* atid s.'ainpig th?
with theirlilood as it flowed frotu their.w guilds.
Children of eight or ten ‘years of ago were
pale and motionless as if#isleep under the trees*
and wom?n cried in pain as they lay upisn the
ground. One, a gyl t*i’ fourteen* presented®
a mournful picture, as she reclined against a
stump, her facecold and white from Hie sud
den touch of •death.* We counted Til'teeuodead
persons, and Iwlf as many wounded lying
around.* * . * .
The wounded, win/were unable.to be moved,
were suitably eared for on thd grounds. Thw
number killed and injured is aboyt #wtnty-fivc.
It was reported that the Arftmal troops*were
attatked with B’tates afid a ooujde of sliotS fired
< at them before they.tired. “Whether this be
tmUor not, a mot! reckless act has never been
committed than n armed body of troops
charging those terrible instruments of wat —
Minnie rifles —among a crowd of defenceless
spectators. • ® ®
r J’he most of .the people exposed to the fire
of the soldiers were citizens with their wives
and children, who were Inerely"spectators, and
took no part?in any demonstration whatever.—
The firing was said to “have been done by “Bo
ernstein’s company, and at the cjmnmnS of an
.officer? As nigJit closed in and hid tin? ghastly
>horrors of the scene, a German regiment took
possession of the blood-stained camp and the
fonts o£ the State soldiers. By citizens of St.
Lolis, and especially those who Jiave ®lo&l
friewds by the occurrence of yestorday, the
ewut will not be easily forgotten.

O
Chnilff* of bi-in;; Cviltrci in M ar. *
Marshal Saxe, a high authority in such things
was in the habit of saying that to kill a man in
battle, jhe man’s weight in lead jnust he ex
pended. A French medical and surgical ga
zette, at Lyons, says this fact was
verified at Solferino, even with the recept. great
improvements in firearms.. The Austrians fir
cd eight million four hundred thousand rounds.
The loss of the French and Italians was two
thousand kilfed and ten thousand wounded.—
Each man hit cost seven hundred rounds, and
every man killed cost four thousand two hun

c hear a*g#eat deal about the power* of
the press, aiu>. tfoe press is very fond of arro
gating to itself extraordinary powers. In
peaceful ti (ties some of its*boasts are well foun- *
tied, but wh- n rftt'olulion shakes Governments
to their foundation the passions flf the
people are flully aroustd, the press must yieW
to the current or be overwhelmed by it.
The tPuth is, that the press is never, even in
ordinary times, affythiqg but th§ mough-piece
of the people, or of a party among them. lt
only speaks the sentiments of its constituents.
A journal cannot speak #of itself,alone, and
live. *So when we find any considerable nugi
ber of public journals “advocating any particu
lar line of policy or speaking certain language,
we may be assured that they arc repissrtiting
the sentiments ol a large portion the peo
]de uniting whonf. tlu ir patronage lies, and from
whom they derive their support. It is non
sense to talk of the of the prjpss
—a

Wt; are led into these *rcmatks by noticing
the bold tone *n which some of the Northern
press denmmae Lincoln and lus war of subju* ‘
I gation. Many papers at the Norili, (without
! counting some in New York city® which yet
adhere to the South,) still stand up boldly for
the right, in defiance (#f mob law? It may f?e
I said, that what this or that Northern paper
is of little cdpscquence to us flow, but common
justice demands of us tlmt we should give tliem
c/cdit for the*fortitude thy. have displayed,

there is yet g large party North, whose otgans
