General Price and ILe Missouri Expedi
ion.
Mr. Editor.—For a few week’s past
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and by
the force of Jackson’s name he was elected
for four years, which term expired last
August. When the war commenced, and
the thunders of the . battle-field began to
tingle in his ears, he abandoned the State
and never stopped his flisht until he found
a place of safety somewhere in Virginia,
where he remained out of harm’s way un-

movements were made.
Now it is certain that one side or the
other of these statements must be false.
That they are false, with all others of like
character, is proved by the testimony of
every man who was on the expedition, with
whom we have conversed.
General Price is charged with not know-
ing the country, and with making mis-
takes, &c. There is no man so well ac-
to the enemy, that we were not so far ex-
austed in men and courage, but that we
were able to make a demonstration into the
very heart of a State inside the enemies
lines. In this we were wholly successful!
4th. Gen. P. was to remain in the State and
establish a government there, if in his opin-
ion he was able to do so. Otherwise, he
was to return by the line of retreat by
which he came. He failed to remain, but

who knew nothing of these plans and ob-
jects? Or shall we refer the whole ques-
tion to little Tommy Reynolds, with lis
one idea ? Gen. Magruder, long before
the return of Gem Price, remarked to the
writ er, that if Gen. Price returned With no

many. 2d. To recruit our army, by bring-
ing out men. This was eminently success-
ful ; for we have added more than 10,000
men to our ranks, and they are still com-
to the vile purpose of slandering and tra-
ducing the character of the man whose
influence and exarple has done more to
give us an army from Missouri, than any
or all others who hail from that State.
Gen. Price, especially with Missourians,
is not dependent upon the turn of a die,
or the feverish fluctuations of publie sen-
timent for a day, nor upon the scribbling
correspondents of a newspaper for a repu-
tation. He had a reputation and charac-
ter, both as a statesman and warrior before
this war commenced. Those who have
known him longest and best, where he re-
sided for years, have delighted to honor
him with the highest positions within the
gift of a State, in which he has-more than
sustained himselt, always retiring from
office with a stronger hold on the confidence
and affections of the people than when he
entered. He held the office of Brigadier
General in the late war with Mexico ; was
honored with a separate cenmand, and
gained for himself the approbation of his
country and a distinction for military skill
and courage which none of his traducers
will ever attain.
When the war commenced, Gen. Price
was the president of a State Convention,
then sitting in the City of St. Louis, con-
vened for the purpose of determining the

the Governor of Missouri, first published
by the Texas Republican, and copied into
your paper of the 4th inst. Your issue of
12fh inst., also contains an article signed
“Sidney,” in which the writer becomes
jubilant over whit he considers the down-
fall of Gen. Price, evincing a vulture-like
pleasure over the efforts of Mr. Reynolds
to tarnish the character of a noble states-
man, patriot and warrior. We do not envy
“Sidney” his pleasure, as he never was a
friend of Gen. Price, and we attach no
importance to his malignity. Honorable
men write over their own names when
they assail others. But we have much to
do with the man who claims to be Gover-

cess of this expedition? The Generals
other good men, he must expect to be as-
sailed and slandered by a craven-hearted
set of men, who have never rendered their
country any service themselves, and seek,
by every foul and dishonorable means, to
rob the true soldier of his hard earned
laurels and bring him down to a level with
themselves. Gen. P has a fewenmies—
we know who they are, aud the cause of
their enmity. They are a set of disap-
pointed aspirants, who seek to ride above
the standard of their merits, and because
Gen. Price will not lend himself to pro-
mote them, they turn upon him as so pany
vipers. Reynolds has collected a few of
these together, and in their dark counsels
they plot his destruction. The attack
they have made is one of their schemes.
But the old war-worn hero will still sur-
sition in society will better conceive than
we cun express the feelings of burning in-
dignation that arose in the heart of the
gray headed old soldier. Gen. Price knew
Reynolds well before the war, and his
cowardly conduct since. He knew what
estimate to place upon him, and took no
notice of him upon his tour. This is the
secret of his deadly hate towards General
judge of ing. Col. Candif lately arrived with an
- 5 _ entire regiment, a month after Gen. P’s re-
charge is, that General Price was in front
when the enemy made a sudden and vio-
lent attack on the rear of his army. It is
confessed that General P. had placed Gen
erals Marmaduke, Fagan, Cabell and others
in the rear, and surely the Governor would
not say they were not good officers ! If
General P. was so great a blunderer, as he
would represent, it was fortunate he was
in front. We have been in the army more
than three years, under General Price, and
we claim to know more of his habits, abil-
ity and firmness, than Reynolds can know,
who was never in an army train before, (for
he was only a idead head” in the train, not
in the army,) and if General P. passed to
the front, his business took him there, and
he was in the discharge of his duty.
But the most foul slander of all, is that
he rode at his ease in an ambulance, drank
his toddy and neglected his men. We say
this is a foul slander, for every soldier in
the army is ini the habit of saying that if
General P. has a fault, it is in being too
tender, careful and indulgent to his men.
We have seen him dismount from his horse,
and put worn out soldiers in his saddle
and take it on foot himself He does
drink his toddy. at regular hours every
day, and has done so for forty years. But
dare Reynolds to say that he ever saw him
drunk, or refuse to devide with others?
Never. How contemptable and low is it to
see a man, claiming to be a Governor of a
State to bring such charges against a char-
acter so noble, generous and dignified, as
everybody knows Gen. P. to be ! And yet
Reynolds has done so, and thereby justly
forfeits, as he has done, the respect of every
man from Missouri, whether in the array or
out of it. If we were permitted to elect a
Governor in the army, as we have members
to Congress, Reynolds would not get ten
votes—our men in the army say he would
not get one.
But, was Gen. P’s expedition a failure?
To answer this question correctly, we must
first enquire what were the objects of it.
Gen. P. was sent to Missouri by General
Smith to accomplish four objects, under
specific orders. 1st. To produce a diver
sion of the enemy into Missouri in favor of bY every
Generals Hood and Lee, who were in great
need of such aid at that time. This was
dressed to the public, and not to the mili-
tary court, we call the attention of the pub- dome,
lie to many of the charges he makes, which
will be found false and self-contradictory
in three of the most essential points he
makes.

quainted with the geography of that coun-
try generally as General Price, for he has
been over it time and again with his army,
and has a peculiar aptness for a recollec-
tion of places. Fault is found of the con-
duct of the man as regards the depreda-
tions committed on private property. The
strictest orders were issued by General
Price against such depredations, and if they
were not carried out by Generals Marma-
______________________________________ duke, Cabell and others, the Governor’s
lutionary struggle then in progress in the particular favorites, why charge it all on
East. He exerted the full measure of his General Price ? But the most serious
to him, he must take the blame upon him-
self.
If Gen. Price had disobeyed his orders,
violated any regulations in military law or
been guilty-of any neglect which endanger-
his command,‘and Reynolds thought it his
duty to call him t>an account for it, why
did he not prefer charges against him be-
fore a competent military court, and have
a fair investigation of them in such a way
that Gen. Price coul be heard, and where
he could defend himself ? This honorable
course did not suit his taste—would not
afford him so gooda chance to gratify his
malicious desigus. Gen. P. was popular
with his countrymen ; his popularity was
so great with the public that his broad
shadow covered him with obscurity. Price
was no demagogue;. if he could only get
him out on the stump, before the people,
he could so besmear him over with the
filthy slime in whih he delighted to dwell
himself, that in the end Gen. Price would
be seriously worsted, at least with his en-
emies, while he had little to lear himseli
in such a contest, for he had not a great
deal to lose. Hence the demagogue pre-
ferred to make these charges and then
challenge Price to meet him on the stump
before the people, knowing full welltha:
the noble old chiet would never conde-
scend to do so, and., thereby he might gain
an advantage over him, at least before the
rabble.

great influence in faver of a conoitional
Union, but failing to secure his object he,
resigned his seat, gave notice of the posi
tion he should take, and, under the ap
point ment of Gov. Jackson, took command
of the Missouri State Guards and immedi
ately entered the field. With raw troops,
but poorly armed, and without discipline,
he fought several battles in Missouri,
and never without success. He came into
the Confederate service as a Maj General
with strong parties arrayed against him,
both here and at Richmond, who have
never ceased to hedge up his way, and de
tract from his merits as a military man, to
this day ; priucipally for the reason that
he stood in he way of some favorite of
. their own.
We will not stop to notice the fact that
through hostile influences, he was contin
ually kept under inferior men, who were
jealous of his popularity, both in the army
and out of it. We will only remark that
when his friends were vexed and out of
patience with the treatment be received
and urged him to resign, he calmly re-
marked, he was fighting for his country,
and not for fame or for President Davis.
The history of Gen. Price, as a military
man, is before the country, and we are
wiling to rest his fame and fortune with
his countrymen, provided the tongue ot
slander and defamation will let him alone;
but as his soldiers and fellow-citizens from
Missouri, we are unwilling to stand silent-
ly by and hear his name traduced by men
unworthy of his notice. There never was
a commander, Napoleon not excepted, who
has merited and enjoyed the devotion of
his men more than Gen. Price. His a my
are proud of him ! They love him as a
father, and admire his genius as a com-
mander. They are ready to follow him
anywhere, and die for their country un-
der his leadership if the fates so order it.
Could this ceaseless devotion to a com-
mander be aroused and kept alive for
years if there was not an adequate cause
for it ? Do not those who have served
under him for three years and a half know
more of his merits as a man and a com-
mander than those who have never been
in the service at all, or who have been in
a distant field ? Let reasonable men pon-
der these questions.

Thou art &---heaven hath accurst.
For whom the demons of the pit await.
Around thy heart doth rancorous venom cling,
The serpent’s hiss is on thy lying tongue.
And envy over all thy thoughts doth fling,
Her wings of darkness, with contagion strung
