They left St. Louis, Missouri, about A..? -r'A . -A i " . vue ahDi ui August, ana Drougutinrougti with thorn St. Louis papers of tlAt date, A state of Mexico and the western districts of South Amer' ica, prevails in the once great and prosperous common wealth of Missouri. The country is full of guerrillas and bushwhackers; no' man's life is safe while passing along the highways from place to place; commerce of evoiy description is measurably suspended,' and'tbu papers contain tlie official announcement of the . railroad officials that owing to the unsettled stfcte of the country and the perils amending transportation, no trains would be run to or \ from St. Louis. A steamboat had not made a landing at that wharf in a fortnight, and even . in the heart of the city there seemed to.be little sucurity to life or' property. In southern Illinois the state of affairs was very little better. Bands of armed men, representing the interests of both sections, infested the rcmnto . and murder and highway robbery was of daily ' occurrence. The President and Directors of . the Alton affid Terre Haute Railroad had noti' ficd the Government Agents that their road could be used no longer for the transportation of munitions of war. Peace meetings were, numerous, but; were not * (infrequently broken up aud dispersed by mobs. # In retaliation, . prominent war men had been mimlereJ; and in one instance, a train loaded with army sup plies had been intercepted and destroyeH by guerrillas. \ No wonder the agriculturists of the Northwest want peace. They have a foretaste 'of what must inevitably follow a prolongation of civil war for th(* establishment of a power destructive of.the State Governipents. Now is the time for prudence, ingenuity, and diplomatic skill in the Southern Cabinet. Lot not this opportunity pass unimproved, as was a former ones. We are glad to see that our. authorities appreciate the magnitude of the present crisis. < Richmond. Whig^ 29 th. -r-?: * The Position In Georgia. The position in Georgia prascnts a decidedly uncomfortable aspect. "Our army was in front of Griffin at daylight on Monday morning, our outei lines Jn-ing at Lorejoy's. In the considerably disorganized condition.it now represents, there is nothing to be learned of our losses in the pdst few day**. Hardee's command consisting of . Hardee's corps, under command of Cleburne, and JLce's corps?have sustained the brunt of battle since Wednesday morning. They have confronted the entire Yankee army, fought thein inch by inch, and repulsed all assault, and only retr? ated beforo the immense massed ilnnk movements of tlje enemy, who persistently thrust fresh columns on our position. The ln? nf en?."y* however, has been very large ; 90 much so as to check materially their operations. Their movements during the next few days must of necessity be very slow, as they will repair the road ere tbey can advance. It will take them some time,too, to accumulate .itores and supplies con, venient to their lines. Thi ir numbers have , been materially reduced during the pa9t few day's operation. At present they cannot possibly have fifty thousand men of all arms operating. against us. The desultory . fighting which continues with hardly an hour's intermission is most wearisome and destructive to both parties, and never can be attended with any gnin that will decide thocondition of affairs or materially influence the final result. Nothing but disaster fyas attended our-move-; me^ts since the continuity "anil strength of the ?' r v % / army.was destroyed -by dividing it into two inefficient portions. The.mistake culminated ir^. the evacuation of Atlanta and the urinecefisary destruction of immense stores, and nil this despite the promises of Mr. DaviB that the city should not fall. j Before Atlanta was lost,?all our railroad stock that had been retained, was d< stfoyed.:. It j amounted to mora than one hundred and fifty cars, and several engines. Eighteen of the ears were' heavily leaded <wlth ordnance stores, amongst which were 'about five thousand spien- ; did Enfield or Tower muskets, entirely hew ; with all their equipments.

A Blockade Runnkr.?The DuMiu Frte" mart's Journal say a : , "A magnificent and rapid sailing steamer, with three funnels, visited the Shannon on Saturday last. She proceeded to the Foynes Island, where she lay at anchor until evening, when sue Buxicieniy steamed Westward toward T&rbert. While at anchor near Foynes a warlike party landed and made inquiries at the railway station ahont a special train for Liyncrick, and th'ey appoared exceedingly disappointed when they could not proceed thither hv rail. It is.supposed that the vessel is a blockade runner; and it was rumored here that a lieutenant of t h e Alabama was one of the party who landed at Foynes. -It appears that the steamer has arrived to convey an immense supply of clothing to the Confederates." Deserters sent out of the Confederate States.?A new feature was inaugurated on Saturday towards Yankee deserters who have entered otir lines under the guarantees of the recent order issued from the Adjutant General's office of the War Departnv nf. That order declaies that deserters from the armies of the enemy would be protected and put safely, on their way across the herders of the Confederacy into the United States at such points as would best facilitate thpir return to the States of their nativity or adoption, or their escape into othpr countries.

Petersburg, Sept. 13.?All perfectly quiet to-day. It has been observed throughout the city as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, ^rant is receiving reinforcements, and is completing the railroad from the City Point Road to the Woldon Road.
