August 6, 1861, affairs in Missouri, entering into a history
i of events in that State since the call of President Lincoln for 75,000 men, and Gov.
Jackson’s refusal to furnish the Missouri
contingent. The appreciations given are
emivently just, and are pervaded by an evident sympathy for the Unionists,
ter concludes with the statement that the
Federal Government ‘‘is actively preparing
an attack by sea. It is talked of concentrating troops at Pensacola, whence expeditions will be sent against New Orleans and
Mobile, whilst Charleston will be assailed
at the same time. This, indeed, is the vulnerable point of the South, which has no
navy.’
Gen. Hatieck in Trous_e.—You will
have noticed that Mr. Sumner has inotroduced a resolution calling upon the Secretary of War for copies of any general or.
ders issued by the commander of the Military Department of Missouri. This has particular reference to the first general order
issued by Gen. Halleck. In alluding to this
order, Mr. Sumner said it was of such a nature that it was difficult to speak of it and
keep within bounds; that Gen. H. bad the
reputation of beiag a good tactician, but
the act with which he bad chosen to inaugurate his command was not calculated to
give assurance of his success hereafter, Beicould remove. Our California Generals

Compromise Resolutions in Congress.
On the 4th of December, the third day of
the session, Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware,
offered in the Senate the following preamble and_resolutions :
Whereas, the people of the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee
are in revolt against the constitutional government of the United States, and have’
assumed to secede from the Federal Union
to form an independent government, under
the name of the Confederate States of Ame. rica; and whereas, the Congress of the
United States, approving the sentiments
expressed by the President in his annual
message “that the Union must be preserved,
and hence all indispensable means must be
employed,”’ and believing that kind and
fraternal feeling between the people of all
the States is indispensable to the maintenance of a happy and prosperous union, and
being willing to manifest such feeling on
their part to the end that peace may be restored to a distracted country,and the Union
and Constitution be preserved and maintained, and inviting the co-operation of the
people of the aforesaid States iv the accomplisbment of objects so beneficial to each
and all, do resolve as follows :
Resolved, &c., That Millard Fillmore,
Franklin Pierce, Roger B, Taney, Edward
. Everett, George M. Dallas, Thomas Ewing,
Horace Binney, Reverdy Johnson, Jobn J.
Crittenden, George E Pagh, and Richard
W. Thompson be, and they are hereby, appointed commissioners on the part of Congress to confer with a like number of commissioners to be appointed by the States
. aforesaid, for the preservation of the Union
and the maintenance of the Constitution,
and that they report the result of said conference to Congress for approval or rejection.
Resolved, That upon the appointment of
commissioners as hereby invited by said
States, and upon the meeting of the joint
commissioners for the purpose of conference
as aforesaid, active hostilities shall cease
and be suspended, and sball not be resumed
. unless said commissioners shall be onable

to the reception of the resolutions,
Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, said the
list of commissioners named was very good,
but be suggested that the name of James

The resolutions were laid over informally.
Army Teamsters.—A volunteer in one
of bis former letters, dilated on teamstere,
but finishes rich with the following:—
The army teamster is of a separate nationality from all the world. His costume
isa pair of brown trowesers, a red flannel
shirt, a military cap picked from the debris
of some encampment, and acanteen. He
generally hails from Pennsylvania, he
drives with the inevitable single line, sits
on the near wheel borse or male, and observes to the members of his team at short
intervals through the day that if they don’t
hup and hey and go along, he will send
them to hell endways. He never knows
where he is agoing to, and I have very
great doubts whether he bas aclear idea
where be came from. He lives in his wagon
and bis horses live beside it. He is at home
wherever night overtakes him; unhitches
his horses, ties two of them at the feed box
at the rear and two at the fore end, eats his
supper, basa good comfortable swear at
everything and everybody, and goes to bed.
He gets drunk singly, in squads, in platoons
/and by companies, . wanted twelve wagons
the other day to haul ammunition, and
failed because the whole available train of
thirty was having its tri-weekly drunk.
Cruery To Stock.—The Stockton Argus
bas the following in reference to the prevailing abuse of stock in California:
The severe cold raing of the past few days
have been destructive to cattle, numbers
having died from being chilled to death—
five in one body of stock were seen to fall
and expire in a couple of minutes, beiog,
too, in fair condition, The cold wind
pierces them as they stand on elevated
knolls to keep out of the water that bas
spread so over the plains, and the result is
that have been winter fed. We may jadge
from this, of the destruction of cattle that
have received no altentioa this winter, and
are in bad condition. They must bave fall‘en in vast numbers Lefure the freezing
