What occurred at Alton was simply this: The Governor having received information that several hundred men had departed from Princeton, Bureau county, under charge of officers from St. Louis, upon a steamboat, for the purpose of enlisting in a Missouri regiment or brigade, in violation of his proclamation recently made, ordered Colonel John A Davis, with two hundred and fifty of his troops, with a six pounder, from Camp Butler to Alton, to intercept the steamer and bring back the men who were being conveyed thereon to St. Louis, Colonel Davis left here on Monday night, with his troops, upon a special train, and arrived at Alton early on Tuesday morning. The troops took up their position near the river, in Alton; the six-pounder was only planted, and everything got ready to bring to the boat when she should appear. Abou
