Hud QuAnraa IT. S. Taoop, ) 1 St. Louis, May 10, 1861. J To Us. D. M. Fbost Sis: Vonr command ia regarded a evidently hostile towards the Government of the Un ited States. It i for the most pari made np of those Secessionists who have openly avowed their hostility to the Gen eral Government, and have been plotting at the! seiiure of its property and overthrow of its su- tnortty . I ou are openly in communication with the so eaMed Southern Confederacy, which ia now at fer with the United States, and you are receiving at your Camp from said Confederacy, and under its flag, large supplies of material of war, tne most ot wnicn is Known to oe tne pro property - perty property of the United States. These extraordin extraordinary - ary extraordinary preparation plainly indicate none other than the Well known purpose of the Governor of this State, under whose order you are acting and whose purpose recently eommunicnted to the Legislature has just b wn responded to by that body in the most unparalleled legislation, having in direct view hostilities to the General Government and Cooperation with it enemies. In view of t heo considerations, and your fail failure - ure failure to disperse in obedience to the Proclamation of the President, aud ofeminant necessary State policy and obligations, imposed upon me by instructions from Washington, it is my duty to demand, nnd I do hereby demand of you an immediate surrender of your command, with no other coalition than that all persons surrender iug nudet this demand shall bj kindly and hu inanely treated. Believing myself prepared to enlol-ce this ilemand, one-halt hour time will be allowed for therewith.

In every stag of the war we should be on our guard against a disgraceful poace. lo do this, wo roust seasonably provide against depondsnco on traitors. A mere trifle has somotimas compelled a nation to a humiliating peace. If tho war contin continues, - ues, continues, Southern trade mutt cease, and the West lo'lios cannot supply Europe and 20 20-000,000 - 000,000 20-000,000 of Americans ia groceries. The project of a long war increases. We may persuade our spoilt children and wives to change cotton for fhnnol, but we cannot persuade them to give up sweet that they must and will have. I soo no reason why, before many months, there should not bo a great rise in sugar aud molasses, so that the grower of these articles will not only do their duty to the stars and stripes, but realize a rich profit to themselves. Unless wo can as easily lay aside sweet as our grand-parents did tea, it would favor the cause of liberty to nave, till tbe first of June, as many stumpers in the field as we bad during the Presidential canvass, to urge np all farmers to raise enough Chinese cane to sweeten the loyal States.
