Quantrell,
the famous Missouri partizan, has effected a change of base, which the Yankee cultivators of cotton plantations appear to think a base change. The correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing from near Vicksburg, says:‘ Quantrell and his men, some 600 or 900 strong, are acting vigorously down here. They came in not long since, capturing a number of wagons and negroes. The bloodthirsty rascals killed 8 or 10 laborers [niggers] on one plantation.
