We learn that a number of houses, the property of Union men, were burned at Barnesville, Cass County, Missouri, last week, by the secessionists, and their owners driven out. Barnesville has had the reputation of being a loyal town, and hence this visit of vengeance. Secessionists are perambulating the country, and warning Union men out, and scarce a day passes but some outrage comes to our ears from the mobocracy of Missouri.— [Osawatomie Herald]
