greatly chagrined at the proclamation of 'Governor' Gamble, of Missouri. We copy from that paper of August 7tent. We concluded so and rejoiced accordingly. Judge Gamble, who was elected Provisional Governor, came befoe alarm, at the first demonstration he has made. Gov. Gamble's inaugural was published yesterday. It is remarirst proclamation to the people of Missouri, that Gov. Gamble really astounds and alarms a hopeful country. Wemay take part in the defence of the State." Gov. Gamble here takes the position that the Government of thFremont, Lyon and Pope, who are in Missouri to save Gamble & Co. from the wicked conspiracies of C. F. Jackson and his confederates Gov. Gamble exhorts his loyal Union constituents to become spies and informants, and to wt of the United States authority, and educated by Gov.

ives us of the progress of the Southern cause in Missouri is truly cheering. Governor Jackson's policy is endorsed by all men who have not from the beginning been hostile to the South. No one is heard to advocate the action of the late Convention, which deposed Governor Jackson and placed the renegade Gamble in the Capitol, who was not identified in feeling with Lincoln's Administration and the power of the Federal Government previous to the calling of the bogus Convention; in other words, Gamble's supporters are genuine, dyed-in-the-wool Black Republicans. Mr. Cullen informs us that the valor and alacrity with which the people have rushed to arms, at the call of patriotism, can scarcely find a parallel in history. Missouri will give between 75,000 and 100,000 fighting men to the South. The atrocities of the Federals have aroused all the latent resentment of a population who would have sought peace by great sacrifices. The late defeat of Lyon's forces will add vastly to our cause

The Governor calls upon the citizens to come forward promptly to sustain the peace, by the suppression and dispersion of the armed bands of men who are now committing violence in the different parts of the State.

From Missouri.the bogus Government in a Bad way. Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 26. --Bogus Gov. Gamble, of Missouri, has called for an army of 42,000 Missourians. The civil, authorities are unable to cope with the present condition of affairs in Missouri, unless aided by a strong military force. Where volunteers fail to raise the quota of force from their county, the citizens will be drafted for a term of six months, unless peace occurs sooner. He says arms will be furnished as soon as they can be obtained.

koe Warehouse, on its North side, and soon summoned the fire companies to the scene. This house consisted of three tenements belonging to Messrs. Eddins & Brannan. The first was occupied by the "Old Dominion Saw Works," owned by Messrs. Boyle & Gamble, as a manufactory of saws, swords, bowie-knives, buckles, &c. Latterly they have made no saws, the demand for that implement having been out off by the war, but have been fabricating the other articles named, for the use of the Confederate Statesfortunate several years since as to be burned out when they had no insurance upon their property. The fire originated, we understand, in or near a fire-place, in a chimney adjoining Shockoe Warehouse, in that part of the building occupied by Messrs. Boyle & Gamble. A watchman was regularly employed to guard the building, and he was present when the fire broke out, and says that he used his utmost exertions to stay its progress, calling meanwhile for assistance, and thus giving the alarm.

to what special duty they had been detailed for, and up to this time that question has not been satisfactorily answered, On Saturday morning I was informed that when the 80 horsemen were last see, they were making tracks for Merrimack, which they crossed, en route to join Hardee or Pillow. I give you this as I have it. Of course, no word even of the rumor has been allowed to appear in any newspaper here; but it is fully well known to be true. The call yesterday of the sot devant Governor, Gamble, for 42,000 men, with the strongest sort of intimation that if they were not forthcoming in the shape of volunteers impressment would follow, created no small degree of amazement. How far the call will be responded to, "nous verrons;" my own belief is, that it will not only essentially fail to receive a response, but will do as much as any of the recent acts of the "powers that be" to still further augment by thousands the number of Missouri's patriotic defenders.

is evening. He will immediately take the field in person in North Missouri. St Louis, Sept. 1--The Republican has a dispatch saying that the Secessionists, 4,500 strong, attacked the 430 Home Guards and Federal troops in the entrenchments at Lexington, on Thursday, and were repulsed with the loss of 60 killed. None of the Federal force were killed. This needs conformation. Charles McLaren, Basil W Dake, and James H Carlisle, Secession police commissioners, have been removed by Gov. Gamble. The report that Palmyra was occupied by the Secessionists under Martin Giten, a few days ago, is untrue. The money belonging to the Fayette Bank seized by the Secessionists on Wednesday, has been returned. St. Joseph, Mo. Aug. 30. --This morning our city was surprised and thrown into great excitement by the sudden arrival of one hundred and ten mounted armed rebels who paraded the streets and captured two United States army recruiting officers, and then returned to their c

session.] Mr. H. May, a member of the Maryland delegation to Congress, in explaining why he refused to recommend Lieut. Col. Emory for the rank of General, states that he did so on the ground that he recommended no one for military office during this wretched civil war; that Maryland ought not to be expected to furnish either officers or men to carry on a war so repugnant to the feelings of her people. Legislative Doings on both Sides of the line. In Missouri the new Governor, Gamble, has issued a proclamation to the authorities to enroll the people into organization, and notifying the troops of the Confederate States who have entered the country, that their continuance there would be regarded as an act of war against the State of Missouri. He offers protection to penitents, and it is understood that a committee of public safety will be formed in each county to maintain the peace, in default of which the United Sates troops would be called in and quartered on the people

Gov. Gamble returned here last night. The Republican learns that his mission was to get money and arms to enable him to get out the State troops under his proclamation, in which he was eminently successful. Money will be placed to his credit in the Sub-Treasury and arms be forwarded as fast as possible. Reported flight of Martin Green's forces. Hennewell, Mo., Sept. 10. --Gen.
