The War Commenced in Missouri.
C„nture of Camp Jackson—Mm, Women
and Children Murdered in Cold Blood
by the Red-Republicans Under Frank
Blair.
We glean from the St. Louis Republi
can of the 11th inst., the particulars of a
most brutal and disgusting attack, not on
ly od the citizen soldiers of Missouri, but
nn indiscriminate slaughter of men women
and children.
The troops organized under the milita
. [avV of the State, as is their custom, were
ordered some days since to into encamp
iment in their several districts, by Gov
ernor Jackson. One of these enCamp
roents was in the suburbs of St. Louis,
and had been named Camp Jackson.—
Multitudes of the population visited the en
campment to witness the evolutions of the
soldiers for several days up to the 10th
inst. Brigadier General D. M. Frost,
was in command. On the 10th, General
Frost addressed a letter to Capt. N. Lyon,
commanding the United States troops in
and about St. Louis Arsenal, informing
him that he had learned that he (Lyon)
contemplated an attack on his camp, and
explaining to him that his forces were at
Camp Jackson under the laws of the State
I of Missouri, &c. To this letter Capt. Ly
on made no reply, until with his command
and that of the notorious Frank Blair they
had surrounded Gen. Frost and his 800
men, with a force 7000 strong and 20 pie
ces of artillery. Lyon demanded the per
Iemptory surrender of Gen. Frost and his
command. After a hasty consultation
with the officers of his staff, the conclu
ti.nt tlipu were in no condition
Ito resist a force so superior, and having
• but a few pieces of artillery of small cali
bre, and less than a dozen rounds of car
tridges for his command, a battle must
fit necessarily be of but short duration and
!with hut one result—the total rout and de
feat of the Slate troops. Gen. Frost stated
that he had no war to wage upon the Uni
ted States or its troops; that he had been
only acting in compliance with the laws
of the Slate ; that he had anticipated no
confl ct, and would not jeopardize the lives
of his men, Only one course could be
pursued, and that was quickly agreed up
on, viz :—a surrender.
The demand of Capt. Lyon was accordingly
agreed to. The State troops were, therefor*,
made prisoners of war. but an offer v\ made
to release them on condition that they would
take an oath to support the Constitution of the
United States, and would swear not to take up
arms against the government. These terms
were made known to the several Commands,
and the opportunity given to all who might
feel disposed to accede to them to do so. Some
eight or ten men signified their willingness, but
tbe remainder, about eight hundred, preferred
under the circumstances to become prisoners.
[ A number of the troops were absent from the
camp in tbe city on leave.] Those who de
clined to take the prescribed oath saul that
they had already sworn allegiance to the Uni
ted States and to defend the Government, and
to repeat it now would be to admit that they
had been in rebellion, which they would not
concede.
The preparation for the surrender and for
marching, as prisoners, under the escort of the
Arsenal troops, occupied an hour or two. lire
brigade was then formed in line, headed by
Gen. Frost and his staff, on horseback, and
v ith colo'rs flying, and drums beating, march
ed through the wood skirting the road up to
an opening that had been mane m u,c icuc
near the turnpike. Here a halt was ordered
.. for some reason, and the opportunity was im
proved by a large crowd of excited citizens to
draw near the officers of the staff and salute
them with cheers. The men appeared deject
ed and rather sad, but evidently were not con
scious of having done anything cowardly.
One of the officers achieved a volley of deaf
ening huzzas by riding up to a fence and hack
ing away at it with his sword, breaking and
bending it so as to render it entirely useless.
It was a very handsome sword, costing $100
and was a recent present irom some military
friends. This example was followed by oth
ers, amidst shouts of applause.
About half past five, the prisoners of war
»ft the grove, and entered the road, the Unt
il States soldiers enclosing them by a single
file stretched along each side of the line. A
halt was ordered, and the troops remained
standing in the position they had deployed on
to the road in. The head of the column at the
time rested opposite a small hill on the left as
you approach the city, and the rear was on a
line with the entrance to the grove. Vas
crowds of people covered the grounds and
every fence and housetop in the vicinity.
Suddenly the sharp reports of several firearms
were heard from the front of the column, and
the spectators that lined the adjacent hill were
seen fleeing in the greatest dismay. It ap
peared that several members of one of the Ger
man companies, on being pressed by the crow
and receiving some blows from them, tinned
and discharged their pieces Fortunately no
one was injured, and the soldiers who had done
the act were at once placed under arrest.
Hardly, however, had tranquility been restoi
ed, when volley after volley of rifle reports
were suddenly heard from the extreme rear
ranks, and men, women and children, were be
held running wildly and frantically away from
the scene. , 1
Many, while running, were suddenly struck
to the sod, and the wounded and dying made
the late beautiful field look like a battle
ground. We went over the grove immediately
after the occurrence, and a more fearful and
gastly sight is seldom seen. Men jlay gasping
in theagonv of death, and staining the green
grass with their blood as it flowed from their
wounds. Children of eight to ten years of
age were pale and motionless as if asleep un
der the trees, and wcmen cried in pain as they
lay upon the ground. One, a girl of fourteen,
presented a mournful picture, as she reclined
against a stump, her face cold and white from
the sudden touch of death. We counted fif
teen dead persons, and half a3 many wounded
lying around. The bodies recognized last
night were those of Walter McDowell, killed
by a shot in the temple; Emily Sommers, a
girl of fourteen; Thos. A. Haren and Nicho
las Knoblock, an artilleryman, were recogni
zed among the dead. A son of captain Andrew
Icenhower was killed by a gun shot in the
chest. A man named Clark, a Mrs. McCau
liff. and a mechanic at the Pacific Machine
Snop, Christian Dean, were recognized after
being taken to the dead house.
The wounded, who were unable to be moved,
were suitably cared for on the grounds. Mr.
Claiborne Wilson was wounded in the thigh
the ball entering through his coat pocket, and
forcing a handkerchief with it into the body.
Dr. Rople was wounded in the leg. Trueman
Wright received two balls in the hip. Frank
Dallen, was wounded in the leg. Dennis Fe
liher injured in the same manner. These
were all the names that could be learned at
the time, owing to the removal of the injured
by their friends. To-day the bodies of the
dead will be recognized and the names of the
.wounded ascertained. The total number kill
ed and injured is about twenty-five. It was
reported that the Arsenal troops were attack
ed with stones, and a couple of shots discharg
ed at them by the crowd before they fired.—
Whether this be true or not, a more reckless
act has never been committed than an armed
body of troops discharging those terrible in
struments of war—Minnie rifles—amoDg a
crowd of defenceless spectators.
The most of the people exposed to the fire
of the soldiers were citizens, with their wives
and children, who were merely spectators, and
took no part in any demonstration whatever
The firing was said to have been done by
Boernsteinh company, and at the command of
an officer! As night closed in and hid the
ghastly horrors of the scene, a German regi
ment took possession of the blood-stained
camp and the tents of the State soldiers. By
citizens of St. Lou is,-mill tfSpEetally those who
have lost friends by the occurrence of yester
day, the event will not be easily forgotten.
The United States troops are now in posses
sion of Camp Jackson, with all the equipage,
tents, provisions, etc. The prisoners of war
are, we believe at the arsenal.
It is almo.i impossible to describe the in
tense feeling which was manifested in the
city last evening. There was any amount of
hurrying to anu fro in hot haste, and every
body asKed of his nearest neighbor on the
sidewalk, “ the news?”—“ What does it all
mean?”—“Who was killed ?”—“ Who was
, . . n .~ 1.1 k«
wuuuueu i ' i>u SdSULdUUlJ u, iwnv*
given to such questions.
Squads of armed policemen were stationed
at several of the most public corners, and the
offices of the “ Missouri Democrat” and
“Anzeiger des Westenes” were placed under
guard for protection.
The following additional news has been
received by telegraph ;
St. Louis, May It—Frost’s Brigade have
been released from the Arsenal. Most in
tense feeling prevails against the German
battallion of regulars sent here and placed
under the command of the police.
News of the surrender of Camp Jackson
caused great excitement at Jefferson City.
The House passed Harris’ Military bill in fif
tee/i minutes. Recently purchased powder
immediately sent into the country. The State
Treasury removed to a place of security.
Le ,,slature has empowered tine Governor to
suppress riots and insurrectionary movements
throughout the State.

Position of Paducah.— The Herald
says that Paducah is now well armed, and
if the “order were given to drive the pi
rates and plunderers from Cairo, who have
been depredating upon our Commerce, that
the Kentucky purchase would turn out
thousands of brave and true men, who
would march as to a jubilee to the conflict.”
While they admit that “Illinois has a right
to occupy Cairo with her troops,” they re
gard the arrest of boats and plundering of
property “as an act of war, and the peo
ple of the Purchase will march to avenge
the wrong.”
