[From the Appeal Extra]

SACRAMENTO, May 22d.

The Pony Express arrived at Fort Churchill this evening, at 5 o'clock. The following is from the Sacramento Union Extra:

ST. Louis, May 19.

Events in the East are unimportant. Government is still determined on the policy of recapturing public property and putting down rebellion. All important points are being strengthened by U. S. troops. Battles are constantly expected at Harper's Ferry, Richmond, and several other places.

The most important affair last week, was the capture of Camp Jackson, at St. Louis by United States troops. There was a fight between the troops and the mob, resulting in the killing of several citizens and soldiers. There was great excitement in consequence.

Eighteen persons in all were killed at Camp Jackson, and twelve wounded. Saturday was a most exciting day in the city of St. Louis, mobs paraded the streets every hour threatening death and destruction to Germans.

At five o'clock on Saturday afternoon a corps of U. S. reserve guards marched up Walnut street, towards their armory, and were attacked by the mob. Three of their number were killed. The soldiers wheeled, returned the fire, and killed three of the mob and wounded several. After half an hour of severe fighting the mob was dispersed.

Crowds paraded the streets on Saturday night, with the avowed determination of destroying the lives of German citizens. It is reported that six Germans were killed on Franklin Avenue at a late hour Saturday night.

Gen. Harney arrived in St. Louis on Saturday and assumed command of the Military Department West. He immediately issued a proclamation calling on the citizens to preserve peace, and threatening to declare martial law if the municipal authorities are not sufficient.

General Frost and command, who were taken prisoners, have been released on parole by taking an oath not to fight against the U.S. Government.

The Missouri Legislature passed several bills on Saturday, the nature of which is not known. It is thought a secession ordinance was passed. The Governor and Legislature are greatly excited for fear that the United States troops would march to Jefferson City.

Bridges were burned on the Osage river to prevent the passage of troops. The city of St. Louis is comparatively quiet to-day.

It is reported from Frederick, Md., that the South have asked for an armistice of sixty days.
