Description

Away They Go. - - Last September (1861) Mrs. Browning of this city (St. Joseph), mother-in-law of E. V. (Ephraim) Kelly, a Major in Price's army, lost 2 horses and a carriage by the Jayhawkers. Soon after, two likely young negro girls, aged 18 and 20 years, one having an infant, left suddenly for Kansas. The mother of these girls was confined in the calaboose (jail) to prevent her running off. Last week, the old lady and 2 children left for the other side of the river. Thus do we daily chronicle some of the effects of anarchy and civil war upon the "institution" of this State. Secessionists, how do you like the position you have placed Missouri in - as far as she has gone?
