ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.
Through private sources, by letter form gentlemen visiting our city from the interior, I learn the secession element is daily becoming less belligerent. Instead of scowling upon and threatening Union men many of them now seem disposed to court their favor and friendship.
One letter from almost the great focal center of the rebellion in this State, says that the secesh here are now agreeable, very. There is no doubt they will be more so when they hear that, after all their ordinances of secession, Roanoke Island and Tennessee are still in the United States.
