The Daily Dispatch: April 9, 1862., [Electronic resource], Handsome sword. (search)
Handsome sword. --We were shown yesterday a beautiful sword, the product of the skill of Messrs. Boyle, Gamble & Co., of this city, which, for high finish and all the qualities that go to make up a perfect weapon, could not be excelled. The inscription, which we copy from the blade, will explain itself.--"Presented to Major J. Thompson Brown by the 2d Company Howitzers, April 1st, 1862" On the other side is a C. S. flag, with the word "liberty" on its folds — the word "hope" in a shield, and in a wreath "victory or death." On the reverse side "C. S." and cross cannon, and near the hilt the words "strike to the heart." The guard is embellished with various designs peculiarly appropriate to our young and rising nation. No one need wish to wear at his side a better sword than the above. The best of it is, that it was all made in the Southern Confederacy, and intended as an instrument to punish the enemies of that Confederacy.

Missouri --The Army Argus, of the 13th inst., says: The bogus Governor Gamble, of Missouri, has called the convention to meet again on the first Monday in June. The object of the call is expressed in the proclamation to be "for the purpose of re-districting the State and other purposes." What those "other purposes" are we do not know, but we predict that no atrocity left unperpetrated will be passed over by this body, which should be consigned to everlasting infamy. Although called for one solitary purpose, to wit: to consider the relations of the State to the Federal Government as they existed on the 18th of February, 1861, this body has set aside the State Constitution, and boldly takes the ground that it is above the Constitution. Whenever you quote any provisions of the State Constituiton, they coolly tell you that they are above that instrument. Every man consenting to a principle so cestructive of all representative government, ought to be executed as an enemy to

The guerrillas Sweeping over Missouri. Mobile, August 9. --A special dispatch to the Tribune of this city, dated Grenada, to-day, says: "The St. Louis Republican, of the 4th says that rebel guerrillas have taken complete possession of Missouri, and are daily growing into a vast army. Nearly thirty thousand of them have crossed the Missouri river, under Porter and Joe Thompson, cleaning out the Home Guards and militia as they progress. They are raising numberless recruits for the Confederate army. Six hundred have turned up at Bird's Point, threatening Cairo, where there is but a small garrison. Gov. Gamble finds it impossible, under the circumstances to get the militia to respond to his call, and has issued another important appeal to them to rally, and complaining of their apathy in the Federal cause."

uerilla band, numbering 500, came within ten miles of the city yesterday, and destroyed large quantities of cotton and the bridges over Wolf and Hatchie rivers. Five new companies were recently raised in West Tennessee. It is much feared that a band of guerrillas are depredating in the vicinity of Mound City, in Adair county, Mo. "Col. McCullough, of Porter's guerrillas, was sentenced to death as a traitor and shot. Also, fifteen guerrillas, accused of breaking their parole." Gov. Gamble, in a speech at St. Louis, declared that guerrillas are robbers and murderers, and he would treat them as such. The Yankee account of Morgan's fight says that 800 were attacked by 1,700, under Morgan, and defeated with a loss of 300, including Johnson.--The remaining 500 escaped. No telegraphic communication is had South of Russellville, Ky. One hundred and forty Mississippians left Camp Merton, Indiana, on the 23d, for Vicksburg. Eight hundred Kentuckians and Tennesseeans

to prepare for them, and had destroyed many household articles. We feel sure that our military authorities will not permit our outrage to go without investigation. Although this has found its way to the public car, we know of no redress, and the murderers of those inoffensive Missourian are still suffered to go at large, and are considered good Union soldiers. Alluding to this act of Vandalic cruelty, a Northern paper has the manliness to utter the following notes of warning: "As Gov. Gamble does not appear to have power to control these acts in Missouri, we hope General Halleck will see to them at once. Our cause musfail, sooner or later, if those who are loyal, or those who are ready and willing to submit to the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, are thus to be waylaid and slain after submission. It is folly to spend breath in showing what must be the effect of such proceedings. All history is full of warning. The attempt of the French Monarch to exterminate the Hu

The bonds of James P. Tyler, Clerk of the 2d Market, and of Samuel Ellis, Clerk of the 1st Market, were submitted and the security approved. Mr. Scott offered a resolution that the Committee on Finance be instructed to inquire into the expediency of increasing the percentage allowed the City Collector.

body in 1860, forbidding intercourse with the Masons under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of New York. From the Washington correspondence of the New York Herald we copy this paragraph: It is understood that as soon as the Conscription bill shall have passed the House, there will be a call made for six or eight hundred thousand men. It is expected that the soldiers whose term of service is about expiring will offer themselves as substitutes for the unwilling conscripts. Gov. Gamble, in a message to the Legislature of Missouri, denounces the Delaware peace resolutions, and recommends that they be passed over in silence. A Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune says: The revolutionary and treasonable attitude assumed by the copperheads of Connecticut, in their recent Convention, is attracting, as it should, the special attention of the Government. There is a limit to the forbearance of the Administration. A Nashville dispatch, Feb. 25th, says:
