ILLINOIS TH.OOPS.
"We hare referred on more than one oc
casion to the sorry figure cut by lUlnois'm
the pretent war —our eighteen regiments
of troops, who will not suffer by compari
son with any equal number ojf men in the
grand army, being cast into camp and left
to suck their thumbs in inglorious peace.
Barely three hundred men have been or
dered to the scene of active duly, and these
three hundred are detached companies of
cavalry and sharpshooters. The remain
der arc”employing their lime in getting up
grand parades and consuming rations,
greatly to their own disgust and to the dis
satisfaction of the State.
The appointment of Gen. Fremont to
the command of the Department of the
West inspires the hope that some decisive
employment may be given to the Illinois
soldiers at an early day. The brigade at
Cairo will suffer a large depletion at the
expiration of the three months' term of en
listment unless the prospect of active duty
is presented to the men without further
delay. They did not enlist to fight mus
quiloes and run the hazard of typhoid fe
ver at Cairo. They did not take up arms
for the sake of eleven dollars per month
and indifferent board and clothing. They
went forth at the call of the President to
exchange bullets with traitors, and to
plant the stars and stripes on the highest
elevations of Memphis and New’ Orleans.
If they can be assured of speedy employ
ment in this line nearly all will re-enlist
under Gen. Fremont for the full term of
the war, be it , longer or shorter. They
have had little encouragement to continue
in the service, but the large majority will
do so provided they be no longer required
to rust in uncomfortable camps.
It appears that Gen. McClellan and Gen.
Patterson are both in need of re-inforce
ments. Gen. Patterson is certainly calling
troops from ‘Washington at a time when it
would seem that Gen. McDowell has none
too many around the Capital. We could
easily spare twelve thousand men without
endangering anything in Cairo or Missou
ri. Unless the large force accepted from
Illinois, consisting now of eighteen regi
ments of infantry, one of cavaliy, and a
battalion of artilieiy, are designed for early
operations in the direction of Memphis,
the conclusion will be irresistible that they
were designed for an expensive public or
nament.
LOIAL LAST TENNESSEE.
"We publish in another column the De
claration of Grievances, and the substance
of the Ik solutions adopted by the Green
ville Convention held in Eastern Tenn
essee, June 17th. The Declaration pre
sents a most formidable indictment of the
traitors, in the other sections of the State,
charging them ■with tyranny, persecution
and outrage, on the loyal men whose only
offence is adherence to the Union. It
charges the insurgents with being guilty of
treason and of initiating civil war; with a
design to abolish free institutions and es
tablish monarchy; with destroying the
freedom of the press and of staining the
statute book with disgraceful repudiation
cf debts. It charges the secessionists with
involving the Southern States in a war
•whose success is hopeless and which most
had to inevitable ruin.
This Bill of Grievances is destined to be
come historical and will be referred to in
fuiure, as damning testimony against the
r-bels. showing that they had neither just
cuuse or provocation for tiw> crimes they
arc comnnuing ngimaot peace of the
pec pie and integrity of the Nation.
This movement in Eastern Tennessee is
of vital importance to the National cause.
It plants the banner of the Union in the
very heart and centre of the slave States.
It hoists the starry flag four hundred milna
south of Cincinnati Here is a com
pact community of thirty-three counties
with 300,000 population, hundreds of
miles distant from the nearest free State,
loyal to the Union and the Constitution.
These people live among the Cumberland
and Iron mountains. The pure breezes
which plsys about their tops are inimical
to treason and slavery. In that whole re
gion of fifteen thousand square miles, there
are not as many bondmen as can be foun-a
in a single county of cotton growing Wes
tern Tennessee, A free labor people dwell
tlcng the waters of the Tennessee river,
which flows between those mountain
ranges for 500 miles. From the sources
of the Tennessee far up in Virginia, to the
Great Bend in Alabama, that stream wa
ters valleys cultivated by Union loving
men.
Eastern Tennessee and ’Western Vir
ginia are faithful to the Union because they
hold comparatively few slaves, while the
rest of those States in which slaves
abound, act with the traitors. So true is
it that, wherever a man is kept in bondage
his keeper will be found a traitor. Where
slaves are few loyal mm are numerous.
Where slaves are plenty, true men are few.
Where all are free all are loyal.
The holders of slaves believe that Repub
lican institutions are hostile to their sys
tem. Slavery is despotism, and slave mas
ters long for a government as despotic as
the system itself. A dictator, anarristo
cracy and a standing army constitute the
elements of a political system suited to the
lasles and desires of the slaveocracy. Let
us not attempt to deceive ourselves as to
the nature and cause of this contest The
Korlh is bound by every tie of interest,
honor and humanity, to support the gallant
mountaineers of Tennessee in there un
equal struggle with an implacable foe.
The slave holders who surround them on
three sides, must not be allowed to subju
gate these brave sons of Freedom and
Union. A column of the Grand Army
marched to Knoxville, would strike terror
into the rebels. It would be a fire in the
rear, ol their Imes.which would cause the
regiments in Virginia from the cotton
Slates, to scamper home. It would cut off
the great Railroad line of connections be
tween Richmond and the Southwest.
Place a division of 20,000 men in East
Tennessee, and furnish arms in abundance
to the loyal Home Guards who would be
speedily organized, and the standard of
Union would soon be unfurled in Northern
Alabama with Huntsville for its centre;
among the mountains of Northern Georgia
and Western North Carolina,andin South
western Virginia. Here is a region as
large as Illinois, with a million of whites
and lees than one-tenth as many slaves,
where the sentiment of love and devotion
to the old Union cause is strong and en
during in the hearts of the people.
However this struggle with slavery may
terminate,whether in the complete or par
tial subjugation of the rebellion, all that
mountain country, with Kentucky to the
Northwest ofit, must be saved to freedom.
"When tbis war is over, the region we have
described" will hardly hesitate to abolish
slavery and . become absolutely free.
Slavery would thus be expelled from the
heart of the United States, and driven
towards the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The Union Convention at Greenville
took the initatoiy steps to carve a new
Slate out of the old one. The delegates to
be elected for that purpose will meet at
Kingston. "We shall watch the progress of
events there with the deepest solicitude.
Tbe Cowaidlr attempt to Bain Stun
Jloluilsoii*
Tbe public hulocgclM, cew-dto be ee
toniebcd at any crime committed in the in
terest of the Southern rebellion, but the plot In
Tennessee to excite hostility against that nn
conquerable Union man, Andrew Johnson,
an£«t the came time to rob a distinguished
Boston philanthropist, 1b one of the darkest
exhibition* of Secession depravity. They
first wrote a letter to Amos A. Lawrence of
Boston, and forged the signature of Hr. John
son, in which they made him say: M What as
sursnee can I hare horn you and your people
of material aid ic the way of money and arms,
*•= my p-opla to resist th? dvavMr.
c-r the South/* etc. It appears th-'.
Mr] Lawrence took the letter to be genuine,
sent to Hr. Jobnoon’s address a draft for
a thousand dollars, which the rebels appro*
piloted, and then wrote back again xm the 6th
of June, in the name of Johnson, telling him
that the draft could net be used, and asking
him to send fire or ten thousand dollars in
New England bills. Failing to get anything
mere from Mr. Lawrence, the rebels then pub*
lished the forged letters in the Tennessee pa*
pers as genuine, and accused Johnson of beg*
gieg money of a Boston abolitionist to be used
in treasonable resistance to the government
of Tennessee.
Mr. Johnson has published a statement of
the case, which ’ought to pot even theee Se
cession devils to the bloah. He says the let
ter was dated and mailed at Knoxville, which
is not only rot his post office address, but he
was not within a hundred miles of the place
at the time cither was written. Besides, they
failed to make even a plausible imitation of
his handwriting. Mr. Lawrence did not dis
cover the forgery, however, although the sec
ond letter excited his suspicions; and the
only genuine correspondence that has passed
between him and Senator Johnson has been
since the exposure of the fraud.
WafthlDßlon Territory*
The election of a delegate to Congress from
Washington Territory occurred last month;
but our advices are no later than the nomina
tion of candidates, who were: CoL Wallace,
Republican; S. Garfield, Democrat; and Judge
Lander, Independent. “ Two eyed” Stevens,
as they call the Breckinridge ex-delegate, was
laid out cold in the nominating convention.
Rumored Capture op Fobt Pickens.—
TLe Baltimore Patriot x of Friday says a gen
tleman who arrived in that city the night pre
vious from Richmond, states a report was very
prevalent there just before he left that Gen.
Beauregard bad received a dispatch announc
ing the capture of Fort Pickens by the Con
federates. TLe report is not credited. The
report was undoubtedly set in motion by
Beauregard to revive the drooping valor of
Lis forces, which now seems at a low ebb.
Sad Casualty at Scranton, Pa.— On
Thursday evening, the 4th, at Scranton, Pa.,
William Simmis and wife were burned to
death by the explosion of a Kerosene lamp,
while they were filling it. Both were dread
fully burned, and survived their injuries only
abont two hours. They leave seven helpless
children. Simmis was a boiler maker in the
employ of the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western Railroad Company.
Child Killed.— A train of cars on the St.
Louis, Alton and Chicago Railroad, when ap
proaching Wilmington, for Chicago, on Fri
day, ran over, and instantly killed a little
child of Mr. McCabe, who lives near the track
The Coroner’s jmy exonerated the engineer
from blame, as the child crawled out of some
high grass and weeds on the track immedi
ately ahead of the engine.
Fire ik Jojtesbobo.—A building known as
Bryce’s Block, the bestbuildingin Jonesboro,
wj.fi entirely destroyed by fire on the 4th inst.
It was supposed to have been set on fire by
fire crackers. The amount oi loss Is not sta

JsT' The citizens of Horsetown, California,
have raised the Stars and Stripes on a tell

more Thieving by Floyd.
G. W. Fester, Esq., of Ozaukee, Wisconsin,
claims that he is the probable inventor of the
new and effective shell used by the rebels at
Aquia Creek, Ya. He writes a letter to the
New York World, wherein he states that he
invented a missile answering to the description
of that used by the rebels as above stated,
which he sent to Secretary Floyd in 1850, and
which he thinks was stolen by that expert
thief. Of the shell Mr. Foster says:
“ I don’t wish now to give the form of it,
for it may be that it is not the earns as used
by the rebels. If, however, tholre so bal
anced that tbe pointed cud frill be foremost,
as it moves through the air, whether shot from
a smooth bore or a rifle, then it is mine. I
know that for battering purposes it is superi
or to any mkeile heretofore in use. It will
penctn*tc deeper, frill tLoot ncartj'aa accu
lately from a smooth as from a rifle bore, and
be made to explode the instant it strikes, and
in the direction desired. In battering a fort
ress, the missile Itself, as it strikes, can be
made to perform the office of a petard or small
cannon.’’
Ihe Fight InSf. Fraud* County, no
The correspondent of tbc St Louis Democrat
writing from De Soto, July 3d, gives full par
ticulars of the late fight in St. Francis county:
“ Information having been given to the Jef
ferson county Home Guards, of a deposit of
aims and munitions ot war for secession pur
poses, a* some point in St. Francis county,
about rixty of the DeSoto company immedi
ately started to look at the style and quantity
of secession anna to be used by them in that
vit-ini'y. In passing through Farmington,
the county seat of St. Francis, our boys learn
ing that they werejcompletely surrounded bya
large body of mounted men, they thereupon
took one of the less freqnented roads leading
from the town. For a -short distance their
march was unintempied, when suddenly they
lound themselves confronted with a force of
seme two hundred men, who halting just ont
of sight, scut forward a few of their men to
fire upon cur hoys, evidently intending to
draw them out to their main body. Capt.
Cook, who commanded onr boys, saw and
understood the maneuver. He wailed unil the
rebels fired upon him, and then delivered a*
broadside of Mhfie balls, which left three or
four horses riderless. The secessionists then
fell back, and Capt. Cook took advantage of
the movement to effect a retreat towards
Irond&lc before the various detachments of
rebels posted on the several roads could effect
a junction. Our boys have all returned—not
a man missing, and not one hurt, except the
soreness of seme of their feet. We learned
jtsUrcay that a rebel captain was undergoing
tne amputation of a leg, to avoid the effect of
a musket ball wound.
“Theie ls a considerable force of rebels in
St Francis and Madison counties. To day
they will receive a visit from a part of the
Sixth Regiment United States volunteers, and
if tht-y attempt tic game tried on our Home
Guaro?, you will hear of a general cleaning
out of that section of the country, which has
long been suffering for want of a visit from
Uncle Sam’s boye.

STATE CERTIFICATES OP TEACHERS.
The first examination of teachers for pro
fessional State certificates, under the act of
last winter was held at the University during
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and form
cd a marked feature of the weeek. The in
corporation of this .element of the common
school policy of ail the older States into the
educational system of Illinois, is cause for con
gratulation. The reasons in support of the
measure will be found fully set forth in the
last biennial report of the State Superintend
ent.
The examination just held was both written
and oral, and of a very searching character.
The Board of Examiners were W. H. Welle,
Superintendent Public Schools of Chicago ;
W. M. Baker, Principal High School, Quincy;
A.M.Gow, Superintendent Public Schools,
Dixon; E. C. Hewett, Professor of the Nor
mal University: and nr. Samuel Willard of
Bloomington. It would be difficult to have
selected men of better culture or adaptsdness
for the purpose.
Diplomas neatly engraved upon parchment
were awarded to the following successful can
dilates. Manila M. Towle, Waukegan, Lake
county : Florence K. Holden, of Lincoln, Lo*
gan county ; James H. Blodgett, Amboy, Lee
county; John E. Pettcrgfli, Quincy, Adams
county, and Alfred Comings, of Dawson, San
gamon county.
S?ATE KOEMAL DJaVZBSITT.
The State Board of Education continued
their session during Thursday. Hon. S. W.
Moulton was unanimously reelected President
of the Board, C. W. Holder, of Bloomington
being chosen Treasurer, inplace of Judge Mc-
Clann,
The great majority of the business transacted
by the Board daring its session would not be
& matter of public interest The fin ancial con
dition of the State University has engaged the
entire attention of the Board, during two days.
I have already stated what disposition had
teen made of the $65,000 appropriated by the
last Legislature. When that appropriation
was asked, it was supposed that the amount
would be sufficient to free the institution
wholly from* debt, but it now appears that
there are still debts outstanding, to tbe amount
of ai least $30,000. This has been a matter of
surprise and of much anxiety to the Board of
Education.
Tnis, however, is but the history of
the erection of all public buildings. An ap
propriation is asked for, and when it is ex
pended it is discovered that another is needed
to complete the work. Our State institutions
at Jacksonville, at Alton, and at Joliet, are in
stances, and It was hardly to be expected that
our State University would prove an excep
tion to the rule. The amount asked for and
obtained from the State through the last Leg-
Islature, was based upon estimates of proba
ble indebtedness, and the expenses of com
pitting the woik, and not a final settlement
01 the whole mtater, as has generally been
suppoecd. The data were, it would seem, very
imperfect, and being desirous to ask for as
email an amount aa possible, the Board now
fitd themselves still incumbered with debt
This result is very disheartening to those who
who have for so long a time struggled against
every difficulty that it deemed possible to
place In the way of its accomplishment.
But there, crowning the rolling swell of the
prairie, stands the now completed building of
the Normal Slate University, and there will it
nmiin for coming years, a monument to the
energy of those who have carried it through',
and to the enlarged foresight and educational
sympathy of the State of Illinois. The State
needs it, and cannot now afford to lose it, or
to have its usefulness and prestige crippled
by the embarassaent of debt Another ap
propriation will bo made, and five years hence
those whose hearts ore now anxious will look
back to the present as but the pleasant history
of a struggle and a success.
The appointment of C. W. Holder, Esq., as
Treasurer puts a business man at the helm,
and Is a sure guaranty that henceforward the
Board will know at each moment exactly
where they stand, and that there will be no
more appropriations asked for based upon in
sufficient and imperfect data. ;

CjjirDsniKCß, Caibo, July 4th, 1861.
Editors Chicago Tribune:
The author of your special dispatch from
this place, dated July Ist, speaking of the
three months men who will not reenlist, says
that that those who are called to their homes
by business, and those who are too weak In
the back, will be allowed to return to their
place of residence. Now, is your correspond
ent so ignorant as to suppose that there
are no other reasons lor declining to
reenlist at present, but those he has
stated; or has he wilfully misrepresented
facts, and thereby added insult to the
itjmy already sustained by this Regiment,
land pcrtlculariy by Company K of CalcW
Dees he wish that men who left homes Mid
families, at the first call of the Government
without waiting to settle their business—men
who left lucrative trades and professions,
without studying the cost cither pecuniarily
or in hardship and exposure—should be re
ceived at home as “ men weak in the back ? ”
Should we be called “ weak In the back” be
esm e we prefer for various reasons to reealiat
in other regiments, or because we prefer to get
a longer time for a furlough than would be
giantcd by the Government? Does he know
the kird of treatment we have received, as
compared with other companies and regi
ments? or does he, as is more than likely,

tbeir fathers and brothers. Some wish for
other effleers. Others are sick of the treat
ment we have been subjected to. You may
think that these lost are ail greenhorns who
have never experienced hardship nor fatigue,
and did not anticipate the necessary depriva
tions of a soldier’s life; tut TU inform you that
some oi these last are old soldiers who have
.seen service.’ •
Now ril give you some of the reasons for
thinking that the Twelfth Regiment, and par
ticularly company K thereof, has been uura'r
ly dealt with. Six out of the ten companies
were enlisted as riflemen. We were repeat
edly prembed rifles at Springfield, and confl
dently expected them, but until thb time, al
though we are entirely a Light Infantry Regi
.menti wfe-have been compelled to handle the
heavy cld-frshfoned flint-locks, altered to a
percussion musket, while regiments of neigh
boring States, recruited since we were sworn into
the have received the most improved
pattern of rifles.
Under promise of uniforms and other cloth
ing. immediately upon ©ur arrival at Spring
field, the men were Induced to bring no cloth
irg but fcuch as was nearly worn out and only
fit to throw away, but nearly every man in the
Regiment was shamefully ragged-before they
received one article of wearing apparel; many
having no change of became covered
with vermin, some of which still stick to the
camp. Some of the men were' 'compel!, d to
wear heavy winter coats on drill in the middle
of a warm day to hide their nakedness.
‘“lmmediate action” was promised the regi
ment. We have now been in the service over
two months, and except an occasional scout
ing parly, we have done nothing but garrison
Caseyville and Cairo, and guard railroad
bridges and wharf-boats, and thb is the
“action” promised the 12th Regiment, which
Gen. Prentiss pronounced the finest body of
men he has ever seen in hb military expe
rience.
Fcr the first few days after our arrival at
this place, we could not get water enough to
use for cooking and drinking.' We have come
into camp at half past eight, F. M., after a
heavy drill in double quick time, and could
net fled a tin cup full of water In the camp,
and when onr companies assembled in a
peaceful and quiet manner, with onr Colonel
at their head, and proceeded to the Brigade
Quarteimaster’e to tell onr wrongs and de
mand our rights, we were informed by Gen.
Prentiss that “such conduct had a tendency to
demoralize the army.” Thank God. Jim Tay
lor of Chicago at present superintends the
water business, and we get all we wont.
In all onr marches and journeys we have
been half-starved, and while on a march in
Missouri not long since, after traveling fifty
miles In sixteen hours on a diet of four or five
crackers a piece, we arrived at the house of a
rebel who had decamped for parts unknown,
and one of onr men made prisoner of a contra
band chicken from the coop, he was taken
before the Colonel as soon us we arrived at
home, and reprimanded therefor.
We have never received one cent of money
from either the State or Federal Government
since we enlisted, and onr Sutler has charged
us two prices for everything we have pur
chased of him. We have never received but
the half oi a blanket apiece, and for more
than a week at Camp Yates, during the cold
lights is April, many of us lay two under one
cl those half blankets.
At Bird’s Point the guards aroundthe camp
are so stationed as to allow the soldiers the
privilege of nearly a mile square, and in the
other regiments here the guards around the
camps are placed at some distance from the
tents or quarters, while the!2ths guards are as
near to the tents as they possibly can be
I-loced, the farthcrest ruuwa have being to
the sink, which is less than 100 yards to the
rear. They even have a line of guards between
the Companies’ and the Regimental Officers’
tents, a dictance of not more than 30 yards.
Col. Schuttner’s Regiment of Missouri, en
camped -just below us, go in and out at their
pleasure, while we can have neither in nor oat
without the within document from the offi
cers.
Now with regard to Co. K, as compared
with the rest of the regiment. We did the
first and only guard duty on the line of the
O. &M.E. R. for seventy miles. During tea
daj b after onr arrival at Camp Bissell, some
of our men stood eight hours on a single
stretch, at night, in a drenching rain, we
nererreccived any uniforms but an alms-hou-e
uniform (grey shirts and overalls), until July
let, while all the other companies excepting
J got theirs before leaving Camp Bissell. On
all onr passages by railroad, Co. K hss had
baggage or freight cars to ride la, while those
who preceded us alphabetically filled up the
fipfct-clftsa care. On our steamboat trip from
St. Louis, Co. K had a forward deck passage
amongst the coal, while the other companies
occupied upper deck and cabin.
On the scout into Missouri, June 231, du
ring the passage to Commerce, 00. i£, 12th
Regiment, ima tnc same berth assigned them,
and on the downward trip ditto. Nearly, if
not all of the other Companies but these
hailing from Chicago have received presents
from their homes. Two or three received
their uniforms, some received shirts, drawers,
socks, etc., some money, some butter, molas
ses, sugar or beer by the barrel Company L
of Princeton, received a splendid supper, sent
to them by the citizens of Bureau county,
while A and K have never received anything
but their havelocks, and those not until the
boys bad literally peeled, neck, ears, noses,
faces and hands. During the first few nights
of our stay in Camp Bissell, wc were forced to
sleep twelve in a tent that was made to hold
but eight m en, and we had actually to sleep on
the top of each other. Now take a tent manu
factured for eight men and put nine men in
it—and our mess has never had leas—then put
into it blankets, enamelled blankets, knap
sacks, canteens, haversacks, cartridge-boxes
and belts, cap boxes and belts, and muskets,
nine each, tin cups, knives, forks, teaspoons,
shirts, socks, coats, vests and boots, a day’s
rations of bread, vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt,
etc., etc., you have an idea of how comforta
ble onr quarters ore of a hot night at Cairo.
These may seem ti ifling matters to yon who
are comfortably settled at home, but you
know that ’tia the last straw that breaks the
camel’s back; and if you add to what I have
mentioned, the necessary ills to which a sol
dier is exposed—the hard ground for a bed,
the exposure to the weather, the lack of vege
tables, butter, eggs, milk, &c.—you may iraa
gmc that wc are not very well pleased with
our position, and would willingly try to better
it Four fifths of onr company would aad
most likely will go for the war, but not in Co.

Gen. Fremont’* Command.
[Correspondence of the Phi adelphia N. American.]
„ , ~ Washikqton. July 4.
Major General Fremont, after much discus
sion and delay, has been ordered to the com
mand of one of the greatest and most impor
tant enterprises of this war. It is not, as has
been supposed, anew design made for him,
but was part of Lient. General Scott’s splen
did and comprehensive plan of campaign, and
has cnly been awaiting the finding of a soita
l;le leader and the preparation of an adequate
force. Before the arrival of Fremont it was
not possible to undertake the enterprise with
any resectable hope of speedy success; for,
as Lyon could not be spared from Missouri!
there was not a proper man to replace Prentiss
at Cairo, in case he should leave, and McClellan
was indispensable to the Virginia campaign.
Bat meantime the preparations went on. For
this purpose the President and War Depart
ment have accepted large numbersof addition
al troops from tho North-western States, but
chiefly from Indiana and Illinois, and these
will soon be ready for service. Sixteen gun
boats will be Immediately built for the expedi
tion at Cincinnati and other ports. This Dirt
of the expedition was delayed In conseouencc
of Gen; McClellan’s belief that gunboats
could not be used with success. Against
strong batteries this is true, but accompanied
by powerful land forces this fleet will be of
great service.
This expedition will comprise a complete
corps d'armec, very numerous and well organ
ized, and under such a leader as Fremont will
be quite formidable. It will move down the
Mississippi from Cairo, and will attack and
capture all the fortified positions on the river.
Its first grand attack will be upon Memphis:
and the rebels there, in anticipation of se
rious work, have got rid of Gen. Pillow, the
command being in the hands of Colonel Har
pee, late of the U. S. Army, and translator of
the standard work on tactics. Among the
Sonth'ernei s Hardee ranks voryhlgh, andgreat
expectations are formed of him. Memphis is
the focus of rebellion in the Mississippi Valley,
and its influence has done incalculable mis
chief. Its conquest is a necessity, and after
that fhall be effected there will be but few ob
stacles remaining to be overcome before the
final attack upon New Orleans.

EASTERN TENNESSEE.
Tbe TTnfon Movement-—Declaration or
Grievances adopted by tbe Conven
tion.
The Knoxville (Tennessee) TFhigfit June 25,
brings us an official report of the proceedings
of the Eastern Temieaaee' TJifion Convention
which assembled at Greenville on Jone 17.
The Hon. Thomas A. H. Nelson acted as Pres
ident; On the fourth day of the session the
Declaration of Grievances and resolutions was
finally adopted as follows, without division:
DECLASA.TIOX OF GBIEVAKOB3.
We, tiie people of East-Tcnncssee, again as
sembled dn a Convention of our Delegates,
make the following declaration in addition to
that heretofore promulgated by us at Knox
ville, on the SOth and of May last.
So far as we can learn, the election held in
thb State on the Bth.day of the present month,
was free, with but few exception*, In no part
of the State other than Bast Tennessee. In
the larger parts of the Middle and West Ten
nessee, no speeches or discussions in favor of
tbe Union were permitted. Union papers
were not allowed to circulate. Measures were
taken in some parts* of West Tennessee, in de
fiance of the Constitution and laws, which al
low folded tickets to have the ballot numbered
in such a manner as to mark and expose the
Union votes.
The final result b to be announced by a dis
union Governor, whose existence depends up
on the success of secession, and no provision
is made by law for an examination or the vote
by disinterested persons, or even for contest
ing the election. For these and other causes,
wc do rot regard the result of tke election aa
expressive oi the will of a majority of the free
men of Tennessee. Had the election every
where been conducted as' it was in East Ten
nessee, we would entertain a different opinion.
Here no effort was made to suppress secession
papers,or prevent secession speeches er votes,
although an overwhelming majority of the
people were against secession. Here no effort
has bem made to prevent the formation of
military [companies, or obstruct the transpor
tation of armies, or to prosecute th:«ewho
violated the laws of the United States and of
Tennessee against treason.
We prefer to remain attached to the Govern
ment of our fathers. The Constitution of the
United States has done us no wrong. The
Congress of the United States has passed no
law to oppress us. The Resident of the Unit
ed States has made no threat against the law
abiding people of Tennessee. Under the
Government of the United States we have en
joyed, as a nation, more wf civil and religious
freedom than any other people under the
whole heaven. We believe there bno cause
for rebellion or secession on the part of the
people of Tennessee. None was assigned by
theXegblature in their miscalled Declaration
of Independence. No adequate cause be
assigned.
The Select Committee of that body asserted
a gross end inexcusable falsehood in their ad
dress to the people of Tennessee when they
declared that the Government of the United
States had made war upon them. The Seces
sion cause has thus for been sustained by de
ception and fakeh od; by falsehoods as to the
action of Congress; by false dispatches as to
battles that were never fought and victories
that were never won; by false accounts as to
the purpose oi the President: by fabe repre
sentations as to the views 6t Union men; and
by false pretenses a? to the facility with which
the Secession troops would take possession
of the Capital and capture the highest officers
of the Government.
The cause of secession or rebellion has no
charms for us, and its progress has been
marked by the most alarming and dangerous
attacks upon the public liberty. In other
States, as well as our own, its whole course
threatens to annihilate the last vestige ol
freedom.. While freedom and prosperity have
blcsssed us >n the Government of the United
States, the following may be enumerated as
some of the fruits of secession:
It was urged forward by Memb»rs of Con
gress who were sworn 1 6. support the Consti
tution of the United States, and were them
selves supported by the Government.
It was effected without consultation with
all the States interested in tbe slavery ques
tion, and without exhausting peaceable reme
dies.
It baa plunged the country into civil war,
paraliztd our commerce, interfered with the
whole trade and business of our country,
lessened the value of ourproperty, destroyed
many of the pursuits of life, and bids Iklr to
involve the whole nation in irretrievable bank
ruptcy and min.
It has.changed the entire relations of States,
and adopted constitutions without submitting
them to a vote of the people, and where such
a vote has been authorized, it has been upon
the condition prescribed, by Senator Mason,
of Virginia, that those who voted the Union
ticket “MUST LEAVE THE STATE.”
It has advocated a constitutional monarchy,
a King and a Dictator, and is, through tuo
Richmond press, at this moment recommend
ing to the Convention in Virginia a restric
tion of the right of suffrage, and “ in severing
connection with the Yankees to abolish every
vestige of resemblance to Vie institutions cf that
detested race.”
it has formed military leagues, passed mili
tary bills, and opened the door for oppressive
taxation, without consulting the people, and
then, in mockery of a free election, has re
quired them, by their votes, to sanc
tion its usurpation under the penalties
of moral proscription, or at the point of the
bayonet.
It has offered a premium for crime in direct
ing the discharge of volunteers from criminal
prosecutions, and in recommending the Judges
not to hold their courts, i
It has stained onr statute-book with the re
pudiation of Northern debts, and has greatly
violated the Constitution by attempting,
through its unlawful extension, to destroy the
right ofsuffrage.
It has called upon the people in the State of
Georgia, and may soon require the people of
Tennessee, to contribute all their surplus cot
ton, corn, wheat, bacon, beef; &c,, to the sup
port of pretended Governments alike destitute
cf money and credit
It has attempted to destroy the accounta
bility of public servants to the people ty secret
legislation, and has set the obligation of an
oath at defiance.
It has paasedlawsdeclaring it treason to say
©r do anything in the favor of the Government
cf tie United States, and such a law is now
before, and we apprehend will soon be passed
by the Legislature of Tennessee.
It has attempted to destroy, and, we fear
soon, utterly prostrate the freedom of speech
and of the press.
It has involved the Southern States in a war
whose success is hopeless, and which must
ultimately lead to the rain of the people.
Its bigoted, overbearing and intolerant spir
it has already subjected the people of East
Tennessee to many pettygrlevances; our peo
ple have been insulted; cur fliga have been
fired upon and torn down; onr Leases have
been rudely entered; onr families subjected
to insult; our peaceable meetings interrupted;
our women and children shot at by a merci
less soldiery; our towns pillaged; onr citizens
robbed, ana some of them aisaesinated aud
murdered.
No effort has been spared to deter the Union
men ol East Tennessee from.the expression of
their free thoughts. Tho penalties of treason
have been threatened against them, and mur
der and assassination have been openly en
couraged by leading Secession journals. As
Secession has been thus overbearing and in
tolerant while In the minority in East Ten
nessee, nothing better can be expected of the
pretended majority, than wild, unconstitution
al, and oppressive legislation; an utter con
tempt and disregard of law; a determination
to force every Union man in the State to s wear
to the support of a Constitution he abhors, to
yield his money and property to aid a cause he
detests, and to become the object of scorn and
derision, as well as the victim of intolerable
and relentless oppression.
In view of these considerations, and of the
fact that the people of Eaat-Tennesseo have
declared their fidelity to the»Union by a ma
jority of about 20.000 votes, therefore, we do
resolve and declare;
[The Resolutions declare that the “Military
League” with the Cotton States is unconstitu
tional, illegal and not binding on them as
loyal citizens. 2d. That a Committee be ap
pointed to confer with the Legislature In order
to avert a conflict with tho Secessionists of
West Tennessee, Sd. An election is ordered
to choose delegates to meet at Kingston for
the purpose of seceding from the rebels and
organizing a State Government true to the
Union and the Constitution.]
A Lamentation from Richmond*
We Lave been reading a very curious article
in the Richmond Exannnsr y one of the most
eager, blustering, and impracticable of the
fire-eating newspapers. It complains sadly of
the military lassitude exhibited by the officers
of the Southern army. It tbinksthe delay has
given the North an incalculably advantage*—ll
has lost to the Southerners “their hardy, in
dependant, self-reliant habited and tau ena
bled the North to discipline .their “factory
lands” into good soldi-.rs.
The Scammer also favors ns.with a few re
marks upon the spirit of the respective sol
diery, and the material ef which the opposing
armies are composed Their soldiers are
mostly men of property,” “the Bufferings in
Lank are almost equal to their sufferings in
battle,” and they are “Impatient for bit tic, be
cape they know it Js Inevitable.” We should
judge, to read some of Mr. Russell’s descrip
tions, the “sufferings in bank”' have been suf
ferings in a faro-bank, and any anxiety for bat
tle might very easily be gratified at Arlington
iieJghi sor Cairo. The most gratifyingadmla
sion the Examiner makes is that the Federal
P°y^ E1 “5 11 t is conquering Virginia “inch by
i EC £* ,° higher compliment could be paid
t° tjeneial Scott, and the admirable manner in
he has been managing the campaign.
The,Erammrr thinks the insurgent armies
Lave managed to retreat admirably, for neith
er Atnophon nor Moreau lost so few men:”
tutu as kb “Will retreating weary out aud
corquertheenemy ? The Examiner does no;
believe, and is rather aptto tti k thepsrtina
patriots will only be emboldened by the
rebels’timidity, and that their “appetite for
plunder will increase.” The Examiner Is im
patient for a battle—and In a battle it hopes to
end ell the Southern woes. “Ocr soldiers

them to battle,” an axiom which depends for
Its truth upon which of the combatants have

THE BATTLE NEAR HAINESVILLE.
Gm. Pattfrson’s Late Victory.
THE GEOTOD ABT) THE EIGHT.
F«D Futinlui from in Eyr-miness.
[From the Philadelphia Presa, July Cth.]
The telegraphic account of tbe battle near
Hainesville was exceedingly meagre and un
satisfactory. This fact may be accounted for
by mentioning that tbe Government operator
at Hagerstown became so excited, when the
account of the fight reached him, that he
shouldered his musket within aquarter of an
hour, to rtjoin his comrades In 'Virginia.
Gen. Patterson’s command had been waiting
to cross the Potomac for some time. While
encamped at Williamsport, Md., and upon the
river bank below that town, Capt. McMoilia’s
scouts and the secret spies of Government,
were making dally pilgrimages into Virginia,
to ascertain the character or tbe enemy and
his defences, and to carefully study the topog
raphy of the land.
It was folly intended, a few night’s before,
to send the army over the river m two divi
sions ; the first, under Gen. Patterson, to cross
at WilTamsport; the second, under Gen. Cad
walkder, to cross at Shepherdstewn, some
miles below, and thus flank the enemy, and
drive him from hb position or capture him.
Circumstances necessitated a counter order.
The men were nightly aroused, and as often
disappointed, until, on Tuesday morning at
three o’clock, positive orders came and the
army got under way.
The ford at thb place b but little deeper
tbap a creek, being so shallow that a man may
wade it without being wet above the middle.
The road on the other side lies parallel with
tie river until immediately opposite Williams
port, when it turns directly from the stream,
and goes, at a gentle aclivity, upthe slope and
over the fields;
The river was crossed at an early hour on
Tuesday morning. McMnllin’s Ringers
dashed in first, the City Troop and Gen. Pat
terson and stan followed, and after them came
the two regiments oi Wisconsin and Pennsyl
vania.
The remaining regiments took the matter
less impetuously, and so lost their share in
the honors of the battle. They marched
leisnrly Into a field on the margin of the river,
removed their boots, stockings, drawers, and
breeches, wound these around their necks, and
thus, with the whole lower portion of their
bodies nude and their shirts flying in the
wind, preceded by a full band in sim-lar un
dress, they plunged into the stream and reach
ed the opposite shore. Here they readjusted
their drees, and avoided the wet garments and
soaking shoes of their predecessors. Our in
formant states that the appearance of the
regiments thus proceeding was ludicrous in
the extreme.
It was full day light when these latter regi
ments proceeded up the turnoike. Beyond
the toll-gate, the road hard and narrow, dotted,,
with farms and groves, went meandering mi
and down the lulls.
Most ot the people protessed to be Union
ists, and were, in semblance at least, glad to
see their deliverers. Their own troops had de
spoiled them shamefully, turning their horses
to graze in the unripe wheat fields, and exact
ing com and meal without money and without
price. A curious feature of the march was
the appearance of many Union refugees, who
hung to the skirts of the advance guard of
onr army. These people hod been driven
away just as harvest was shining upon the
grain fields. They come back with songs and
mil hearts, often bursting into tears when
their homes appeared to them again after ab
sence and banishment.
Over the road, thus solid, and pleasant to
walk upon, our regiments walked into the
pleasant farmlands of Virginia, bearing above
them the flag that its people loved, whilom.
They picked up in places, knapsacks and can
teens, dropped by the flying foe, all of which
were marked with the inscription, “ Virginia
Slate Volunteers.” ®
While thus marching along in the dawn, the
hinder regiments, among which was the Scott
Legion, heard the first peals of the cannon,
far ahecd. Instantly every man fell into a
ran, and with wild shouts they broke away,
anxious to be “ nj) the road and at ’em.” At
each new peal their step became quicker, but
laggard haste would not atone; the fight was
over before they reached the ground!
With the latter regiments, our informant—a
civilian—was traveling. He instantly touched
up his pony at the sound of the cannon, and
dashed away in the direction of the firing
Coming to aframc farmhonaebeside ths road
temporarily converted iuto a hospital, he dis
mount 1 d and found inside inside the body
of George Drake, of company A, Ist Wiscon
sin Regiment. The deceased had been shot
through the breast, and fell dead at one*, ex
c’ainiirg at the moment, “Oh! my mother.”
He kosed ns placid and fair, lying thus to
wake no more, as if repoebg in a geaile sleep
Around him, grouped upon the fljor, lay a
number of wounded men, amorg them a se
cession soldier, who had been shot in the eye
by a musket ball, which carried away the
bridge of his nose and a part of his eyebrow
The women in this house had rushed to the
woods in the beginning of the action: but re
turned alter the battle and cheerfully as
sisted the wounded, making mattresses and
bandages for them. Further on (five miles
from the Potomac) they reached Porterfield’s
larm, the battle-ground proper. It seems
that Gen. Patterson and staff. Majors Crahr
Biddle and R. B. Price, Col. Wm. C. Patterson
and Captain Newton, with the First Wiscon
sin Regiment and the Eleventh Pennsylvania
Regiment (Col. Jarrell) preceded by the City
Ircop and Dcublcday’s battery, the whole
led by Captain McMuiUn and the Philadelphia
Independent Rangers, reached this farm at
seven o clock in the morning. The enemy
were drawn up behind the house, in line of
battle order, with their park of four guns di
rectly upon the turnpike, bearing up#n our
ranks.
fc-McMullin’s men were some rods in advance
and they first opened fire. The first cannon
shot of the enemy passed over the heads of
onr men, a single ball striking the gable of
Porteisfield’s dwelling, and passed out at the
peak of the root
They fired badly, not a single cannon ball
dniing the whole action of a half hour’s dura
tion inflicting a mortal wound. One ball
passed between a soldier’s musket and his
cheek, and almost simultaneously a a-'coni
shot struck his gun, bending the tube double
and sending the splinters into hia face and
breast. The man will probably lose an eye
Their first discharges of musketry were aimed
too high, but subsequently they aimed low
and most of the wounded upon our side were
struck below the knees. Our men advanced
continually, leading and firing, until the Wis
consin Regiment had approached to within
three hundred yards, and McMuliin’s men
were lee* than one hundred yards from the
rebels’ advance lines. The must have lost
frrm all statements, at least one hundred in
killed and wounded. Their ambulances were
ordered to the front, and onr men saw them
heaping in the fallen, to be in time forretreat
Alter firing for an hour or less, they retired
at a rapid trot and in great disorder, aeemia"
to laber to overstrip each other in their
flighty purpose. Porterfield's honse is a two
etory frame dwelling, with frame kitchen at
tached. Porterfield is a Union man, who had
been run efil He had taken his family to the
weeds for security, but relumed at once and
gave the wounded every assistance. His
lamiiy soon followed him, and the dwelling
became a hospital, where the wounded lay
rnoet of them eeeming to suffer no great anxie
ty beyond the event of the fight, and their
own hard fate at not being engaged. Of all
the wounded upon onr side, not one will die.
At Hainesvllle, three miles beyond, they
made a second futile and shorter stand, but
ere driven back with renewed loss. This
latter place had been the site of their encamp
ment. Our informant reached it before noon,
and fonnd the town and suburbs occupied by
cur regiments, with the rear regiments fast
hurrying in.
Onr troops had no sooner reached the vil
lage than they scattered on a pleasure excur
sion. One of the first places to which they
paid their respects was the store and post
office of one Turner, the Secession postmaster
ot the village. This man had particularly sig
nalized himself for partisan meanness. He
had been an applicant for the postmoatership,
but Mr. Myers, an opponent, was appointed;
whereupon Turner received the appointment
through Mr, Jefferson Davis’s government.
The latter procured the arrest of Myers upon
the charge of treason to Virginia. He was
thrown into prison, and condemned to die. bat
was released a few days before the battle.
Being thus particularly inimical to the sol
diers and the Government, Tomer’s house was
at once visited by the troops. They smashed
his furniture and ripped open his beds, dabb
ing the work by splintering the old family
clock. Turner himself was arrested in the
woods and brought into town, followed by
his daughters. He looked very sheepish, and
was at once put under guard, A secession
flsg was found in his place, and great numbers
of envelopes marked “Confederate States of
America.”
His daughters—waspish, young ladies
seemed solicitous only for their dresses. One
of them, standing amid the wreck of her
household goods, made piteous inquiries for a
certain new bonnet that ate had left in a band
box :n the second story. It being found that
a soldier had put his foot through both baud
box and bonnet, she burst into a flood of pice
cm gnef, and said: “They might haye left
that; none on ’em could wear it.
With the exception of these young ladies,
so females were seen in the town, all of the
softer sex having fled to Martinaburgh and
Winchester. ®
Mr. Myers, the legal postmaster of the place,
returned in time to save his furniture, which
the troops had mistaken for that of a“ae
cester.”
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer.]
The battle commenced a mile bey endFallinz
Waters, at 9 o’clock this morning. The com
mencement was sudden and without previous
knowledge that it was at hand.
Col. Perkins had rode out some distance in.
front of his battery, and, upon turning a bend
cf the read, suddenly found himself face
to face with two strange officers, mount
ed. They made the military salute, aud shook
hands cordially with the Colonel, asking him
wbat Company he belonged to? He answered
Company C. Just then one of the officers es
pied the battery coming round the bend, and
exclaiming, “Artillery, by God!” both put
spurs to their horses and left. CoL Perkins
shouted, u Now, boys, we’ve got ’em!” and in
less than a minute the battery opened hot and
heavy, right and left of the road. The Wis
cousin regiment was supporting the battery
on the left cf the road, and theTenmylvania
Eleventh cn the right. These immediately
came up m position and poured in one volley
before the enemy bed time to form. and. in
fcet, they never did get formed, but fought
guerilla fashion during the whole action.
This was probably done to cover the retreat
of the main body of their forces. Just in the
middle of the fight, the Twenty-third Regi
ment came up as cool as so many cucumbers,
and pitched into the chase, flsrklngouta con
eidcrable,distance to the left, and routing the
rebels frem all their places of concealment.
McMnhi&’s men lay along the road ncarth*
batlerv and in the woods, fighting Indian fjnh
lon. Every man wss coo! and del btrav, au (
their shots tell with fearful effect, Thecav
a'ry of the rebels attempted to make twd'
charges upon the Eleventh, but were broken
and fled each time.
The pursuit was continued over three miles,
and only ceased when the men became tired
out trotting double quick, and-loading and
firing in the hot sun."
The heaviest part of the action took place
on the farm of a gentleman named Porterfield,
about two haQes beyond Palling Waters, and
within one and a half miles o? Hainesville,
where the army now lays.
It is four and a half miles from here to Mar
tlnsburg, and it !sexpected that the first thing
done to-morrow morning will lie to march for
ward and occupy that place.
The behavior of the Wisconsin men, the
Twenty-third, the Eleventh, and McMnllin’a
men, under fire, is spoken of In the highest
terms; while the City Troop and Second Cav
alry behaved with admirable coolness.
The less of the enemy in killed and wound
ed must be considerable. One man who wit
nessed their retreat certifies that he sow them
carry twenty-seven dead bodies past hb home,
and that they had got their wounded Into
wagons and were taking them off as fast as
possible. He says there could not have been
less than flltv wounded. Oormen found three
of their dead upon the field, and buried them
with care after the battle.
The Color Sergeant of the Wisconsin Regi
ment was the first man wounded, but he
bravely kept thrf flag up until some one came
to relieve him.
Lieutenant-Colonel Wilson, of the Seces
sion force, is said to be laying in a house, a
short distance from our camp, mortally
wounded.
Battle Between the Sioux and Chip
pewa©-—Eleven Indians Killed and
beveoal Wounded.
[Prom.the St Paul Pioneer, July 8 ]
We arc indebted to James M’Fetridge, Esq,
late United States Collector at Pembina, for
the particulars of the bloody fight between the
Sioux and Chippewas, *f which he was an eye
witness, at St. Joseph, on the Pemhima River,
on the 10th of June last.
Last summer, while the Hob. Charles Grant
was encamped with a party of hunters on the
Mouse River, twelve horses were stolen from
him by a party of Yankton Sioux. Nothing
was heard of the horses until the lOih of Jane
last, when a party of thirty-six Slonx warriors,
accompanied by two squaws, arrived at St.
Joseph with tbe stolen property, for the pur
pose of returning it, in pursuance of a recent
treaty made between the Pembina half-breed
hunters and the Yankton Sioux. The delega
tion with the stolen horses arrived opposite
Bt. Joseph about 3 o’clock in the afternoon;
they immediately crossed the river and pro
ceeded to the residence of Gov. Wilkie, (a
member of the last Territorial Legislature
Unfortunately a lareo party of Chippewas fired
on the Slonx white they were in the act of
entering Gov. Wilkie’s house. The Sioux
lock possession of the house, and, remov
ing the “chinking” from between the logs,
returned the fire with effect. Prom this time
until midnight a constant firing was kept np
between the Indians. Six Chippewas, three
Slonx, and two Assmiboines were killed da
ring the struggle. Gov. Wilkie’s daughter, in
passing within range of the combatants, was
severely wounded in the thigh by an arrow.
Mr. M’Fclridge describes the scene as terribly
exciting, and relates instances of great indi
vidual bravery. One Chinpewa, a son of the
chief, Red Bear, was shot three times in an
endeavor to enter the house ; at each shot he
fell to the ground, but raised himself and
pushed forward; his progress was stopped at
ibethreshhold by one oithe Sioux c!eivin <T
his heao through to the chin with an axe. 3
The house occupied by the Sioux is about
two hundred feet from the river. The Chip
pewaa surrounded it, and, to make their es
cape, the Slonx were compelled to run that
distance, and wade the river t* the south bask,
in the lace of a constant fire from their ene
mies. This they did, aided by the darkness
of the night, with the loss of one warrior, who
was found dead by the Chippewas in the morn
ing, on the south bank of the stream. The
Sioux left behind them two horses (in addi
tion to the twelve stolen ones), and the dead
bodies of three of their warriors.
Mr. M’Fetridge states that the residence of
Gov. Wilkie resembled a slaughter house on
the morning alter the conflict. Five Chippe
was and two Sioux were lying dead on the
floor, which was covered with their blood.
Tie Sioux did not scalp the dead Chippewas
in the hense, nor mutilate their bodies. The
Chippewas were more brutal; they cut up
the bodies of their foes, and burned them.
Although the half-breeds at St. Joseph re
frained from taking any part in the fight, they
are apprehensive of an attack from a body of
Sioux, now encamped at Devil’s Lake. The
Sioux promised to return and settle accounts
with the Chippewas in numbers like tbe mos
quitoes—a very forcible simile in that locality.
The Secretary of War and Fortress
Monroe—Hl* Appointments of Sailers.
The Hon. Henry J, Raymond, editor of the
N. Y. Times, writes from the fortress on the
oOth as' fellows:
The regulations of the army require that
the Sutler of every garrison shall be appointed
by what Is called the Council of Administra
tion, consisting of the three senior officers
of the post next to the commanding officer.
Under this rule last summer, before this war
broke out, a Mr. Moody, who lived in this
State, beyond Hampton, and who had been
purveyor for the hotel at this place as well as
lor the Fortress, was appointed Sutler by the
Council of Administration, then consisting of
Captains Vodges, Roberts and Orel The
appointment was confirmed by Col Dimmock,
then aud now commanding officer of the
post, and Mr. Moody received from the War
Department Lis warrant as Sutler for three
years. Thus the matter stood when the
secession ordinance passed the Virginia Con
veutlcn. Moody was a Union man, and. as
such woa distrusted by his neighbors. His
family, however, and all his property were in
the midst of Secessionist, and he saw no
safety for either, if he remained in the service
of the Union. The officers of the fort, how
ever, urged him to remain, assuring him that
they wo uld sustain him, and that the Govern
ment would unquestionably extend to Union
men in Virginia who might sutler for their
principles, every possible aid and support.
He decided to remain; his family meantime
wa? drivtn from their residence, his property
seized and he forbidden to return, fie hi*
since heard nothing from or of his family, but
has been devoting himself, with great zeal
and assiduity, to the duties of his post.
Some e’ght or ten days tince, a Mr. Whtar
of Pennsylvania made his appearance, either
in person or by an agent, at the Fortress, with
a written request from the Secretary of War,
tbat he might be appointed Sutler, in place of
Mr. Moody. The Connell of Administration,
consisting of Captains Roberta, Earned, ani
one other, was at once convened, aud the let
ter was taken into consideration. Mr. Moody
was found to have received his appoiut
mett for the fixed term of three years;
no pretence was made in any qcer er that
he Lad not performed the duties of nis offi :c •
wiih perfect fidelity and to the entire satis
faction of a'l concerned; and no warrant
could be found either in the army regulations
or in the practice of the army, ior removing
him in any other way than upon conviction
by court-martial, on charges of misconduct
distinctly made. In a letter to the Secretary
cf War, setting forth all these consider.! 1 ions,
the Council, therefore, stated that thsv could
find no justification for the appointment of
Mr. Wistar.
Thus the matter stood until- this morning,
when Mr. Web, an intimate friend of the
Secretary of War, and connected, I believe,
with this Department, came to the Fort with
an official order Irom Mr. Cameron, appoint
ing Mr. ‘Wistar Sutler, In place of Mr. Moody
removed.
There are two or three points involved in
tb!s malttr which make it one of much graver
importance than it would first appear. In the
first place, the Regular Army officers regard it
r.e an attempt on the part of the Secretary of
Warutteriyto override the Regulations and
uniform practice of the Army, for no other
reason than to make a place lor a political and
pt leonal favorite, and create opportunities for
ether personal and partisan adherents, to make
laSge profits by furnishing such supplies as
the Sutler may require. The rumors of the
garrison name three or four persons whe arc
known to have been very active in bringing
about this change, and to have large invest
ments, and still larger expectations, in the
way of supplies. The Regular officers regard
this as only one incident in a systematic cru
sade against their rights, by which the discip
line, order and. efficiency of the military force
of the country is to be sacrificed remorselessly
to the greed of political partizms. lam in
clined to fear that, if this matter is pushed,
and this appointment of Wistar is insisted on
by Mr. Cameron, it will lead to very calamit
ous results in regard to the efficiency of the
garrison at this fortress.
It is stated that the President has alt red
the aimy regulations in this respect, ao ns to
givethe appointment of Sutlers to the Secre
tary of War, instead cf the Council of Admin
ittraticn. Tec reason assigned is, thuthc
pest has now beccm* mncti morMacratlvc
and, therefore, much more important Ua-
Usr, however, I am greatiy mistaken, the
public will regard this as a conclusive reason
lor leaving the appointment ia Unhands of
the Military Council. If Mr. Citation wn as
careful of his reputation and personal honor
as one in his position should be, he would net
make such a change in the army regubtioDS
as will simply place in his bands patronize
and the power of disbursing money, which
can be more usefully exercised where it now
is.
Arrest of Mall Bobbers.
[From the Peoria Union, 6th, J
For seme time past, sums of money have
been lost in their passage through the mall
Chicago,- Peoria, Lewiatown and
other points south, and in spite of continued
efforts to discover the thief, until now, they
have troved ineffectual. Mr. Sloan, the newly
appointed and indefatigable post office agent,
at last took the matter in hind, and laid Lis
plans for the del ection of the offender, which
' evcLtuallyproyed successful. On Wednesday
last, Mr. Wilkinson, the Postmaster at Farm
itgtcn. ctanced to be In Elmwood, when he
Itarned that the suspicions excited were di
rected-at the office in the latter town, and
communicated the facts to Hon. George C.
Bestcr. Postmaster of this city. In company
with officer Crouse, Mr. Bsstor went to Elm
wood on the afternoon of the Sd, and that
evening they succeeded in arresting a clerkiu
tbe Elmwood Poetofflce, named Albert Clark,
who, with the evidences of his criminality
around him, finally confessed his guilt. Clark
was clerk in the Postoffice under its former
administration, and remained in the office af
ter the appointment of the present incumbent,
Mr. Bowers. * Clark was examined yesterday
afternoon, before George 8. Blakeley, Esq.,
United States Commissioner and held to bail
in the sum of two thousand dollars. In de
fault of obtaining it be was committed to jail.

The correspondent of the New York World
writes: v 1
I sat in my tent door last evening thought
folly, but very thoughtlessly, humming “Dix

of “contraband” here, who sat Just within the
tent. -
“Wo stop a ringin'dat song now, Maa=a,”
he said, interrupting me.
“Why?”linqoired.
Charles was confused fora moment, but I
pressed the question.”
“Well,”he replied hesitatingly, “it don’t

“I don’t wish I was in Dixie, Fee sure!’’
continued he. “None o’ de niggers does; you
may bet your soul o’ datl”
“ Where is Dixie* Charles ?”
“’S Norfolk, dai’s whar ’Us,” was the iadig
cast reply. “Kills de niggers in Dixie, list
like sheep, a workin’ in da batteries!” The
idea of our contest is fully appreciated by the
colored people. The representations at the
North that the slaves do not understand the
cause fer which the federal army are moving
upon the South, are entirely lalse. X hive

never found one who did not understand the
is&ue of the war perfectly, and hang with ter
rible anxiety upon its success or failure I
was particularly struck with this at Hampton
when the tattle of Great Bethel was progress
ing. They crowded together in little squads
about the streets, listening to the reports of
the cannon in the distance, or the accounts of
those who came in from the field. M-«ny of
them weie almost insane with anxiety ■'ad
expressed themselves extravagantly.
“If the ‘Uniouers’ get the figat,” I said,
“what will it do lor yon ?”
' "Denwe'UlefneP' answered all who stood
near me, almost in one breath.
“But if they lose the battle?”
“Ob»dtnitbe worser for us dan chber”
mey said, shaking their heads m .umfolly.aad

of the war hung upon the result of that day.

•A. Frightened General Gets Court-
Maktailed.—Gen. Bradley of the Rebel ar

martial at Mound City, AffcanoA*. He was
formerly a promlment railroad min In Arkan
sas, and was lately in command of Arkansas
troops stationed some distance above Mem
phis. One day he was startled bv a
thal the army pf the Northwest was coming
dewn in a fleet of steamboats, aad right upon
him. The terror-struck General rusned fran
tically to his men, told them to save them
selves, for the enemy would he oa them in a
few minutes, hurried them on board a steam
beat at the landing, and pushed out in such
haste that he forgot to call in his picket
guards. He was persuaded, much against hU
will, to let the boat go back and get these
men—which she did, aad then started down
the river at race horse speed, the valorous
Gen. devoting immense exertions to increase
her speed. He did not cease urging her speed
until sbe landed his men safely on the Ten

for this act he has been court-martialed.
Fatal Affair in Perry County. —We
Ic&m that a difficulty occurred at Tamaroa,
Perry County, on Saturday last, between oue
Rj an and a Mr. Harris, In which the latter
was killed. The difficulty arose about a law*
suit between the parties, at the expiration of
which Harris expressed a determination to
thrash Ryan. To this the latter objected, and
several times left Harris, who followed him
up to carry out his threat Finally Harris
struck Ryan, when he immediately palled out
a knife and stabbed Harris in the abdomen,
indicting a wound from which he died on the
succeeding day. Public opinion acquitted
Ryan of all blame, considering the act purely
in self defense. After this a dispate arose be
tween Harris’s son and some person in the
crowd, when the former drew a revolver and
shot his disputant. The ball, however, struck
a heavy iron button and glanced off.—Jones
