Scott is every wav to blame. According to the Tiubckk. Everyday itf ul<'?r*phic wires tremble with the news of iM-tties ai d.of Union victories, bnt the sharp eyes of the TninoKt see eomc regiment or comoany ti st has flopped to rest on the march, and Gen t*cctt Jf abased for it. Now, the Tribckx, by ila <'l p f usilrg vanity and itt censure of good audtrnc n cm Is mating enemies of all the intelligent men f/iUjHiri qf the Mate.. We trust the President, GiiuScott, "and all oUkts in authority," in this r.Tffli’ltr. We know that they are true Union r- yr asffpfclrlots, and that they arc doing all that be> in.bunnro power to crash oat the rebellion, vs»' know that they are v» i-o, discreet -msovfcnd " i;l apt_ for .the best. We have toVbe-rcndosion that the persons bo meanly abtfe. 3i>g the administration ana Gen. Scott, are at heart disnnlouists. We care not whether they call 1: cmtclvcfiJDcjaocrata or lUjpublicans.— lilinoie State JoviraU. The StaU Journal quite aptly defines its own functions In tbe newspaper world by its reference to “all others in authority.” Its province is to sing hosannas to 44 all others in authority,” and to sneeze always in harmony with their snuff-taking. What ever is done hy “ all others in authority” must be just right, reason orno reason, and Ic who docs not shout in unison with the bleed of dagumrs is “ at heart a disunion ists” We know how stunning it must be to the Journal to see a newspaper ques tioning the policy of anybody in authority, to say nothing of 4 * all others in authority,” and therefore we readily overlook the con vulsions into which it is thrown when con fronted hy so unusual an apparition. The general misstatement ol the Journal, Implying that we have “abused” Gen. Scott is fully explained by this view of the case. We have simply ventured to differ, in a friendly and digni fied manner, from Gen. Scott’s policy. Most people, who coincide with Gch. Scott without knowing why, would "say that we were presumptuous. But the State Journal can of course see nothing In such conduct but wflfuli and flagrant mutiny. So it rushes out, like another Althaliah, crying Treason, treason , and, mere cruel than that ancient dame, it adds the crushing thought that we are condemned by “all the intelligent men in this part of the State.*’ Inasmuch as the Journal has no reasons for its belief, except that the same belief is entertained by somebody else, it is difficult to hold an argument with it. As to the general proposition that those persons are •* disunionists at heart'* who demand an immediate movement on Richmond, we may make a brief reply. We undertake to say that those are the disunionists who would weary the country with immense military parade, immense expenditure, and immense less of money in private business, without result If the country is ever brought to the pitiful and perilous point of compromising with the rebels, it can only be by wearying out the patience of the people with delays. Defeat certainly would be bad, but further procrastination would be worse. Yolunteer soldiers can be kept together by fighting, but not by ditch digging.- Money can be borrowed on the security of battles, but not upon endless bivouacs. The three months volunteers, of whom there are twenty thousand in Gen. McDowell's division, can be made useful in crushing treason if used now—other wise not. The loyal millions of the North will pour out their treasure to any extent iu support of a movement upon Richmond, but it is very questionable whether they will do so to sustain a pantomime on Ar lington Heights. Who are the disonion ists—they who wish the rebel Congress driven out of Richmond, or they who would continue to slumber behind Fort Corcoran until the three month’s volun teers go h* me, or until England and France find an excuse for recognizing Jeff. Davis’s government V We are rejoiced to believe that the for ward movement has commenced. There is no other event In American history which gives us half so much satisfaction. Wher ever the Union forces have marched with decent leaders against the enemy, they 1 ave routed them, and we believe they will do so now. And if they do not pre vent Jcfi*. Davis’c Congress from meeting on the 20th of July, we are confident that they will break up their session very soon after. ESGL&M) AND THE BLOCKADE*, It is plain tliat tlie English people sym- j patlxlzc Trithihe loyal American States in t tLeir efforts to put down rebellion and j tu&tain the Constitution as our fathers ] made it The fact is equally apparent that < a large portion of the commercial and the | ruling classes are "watching eagerly for an j excuse to break the blockade and take i sides with the South. A great variety of \ causes might be named which prompt to 1 this cour.-e; but a growing Jealousy of the ] power and the influence ot the model Re- , public upon the affairs of the world; the necessity for a supply of cotton, which in a few months must become exceedingly pressing, arc among the most prominent and controlling. Ihe statement recently bud before Lord Lyons by the English Consul at Richmond that the blockade had been violated three times in succession, shows how ready the English officials are to seize upon the most trivial circumstance to throw doubt upon the validity of the blockade. Now in regard to this whole subject, there are broad and well-settled principles of national law, and these our Government will insist shall be observed by European nations. Actuated by tbe most liberal spirit of commercial enterprise, the Uni ltd States have heretofore thrown open all the ports of the country to the traffic of all nations. But in so doing, It must not be forgotten that the Government never yielded the absolute and entire control of those ports. She bu3t forts to protect than, and custom houses to accommodate their trade. The fact that she opened and controlled them, carries with it the ac knowledged right to dose them. The mere passage ot an act dosing any num ber of ports, without a single ship to en force a blockade, ought to be, and in ac cordance with the principles of nation al law, would he a sufficient notice to all dvilized nations to desist trad ing ul those ports. For ages England has respected the right of even semi-civilized nations to designate what ports shall be open to her commerce. The case of China a r d other Asiatic countries will at once suggest themselves to the reader. True, after the opium war with China a few years since—a war which history can never justify—it was Stipulated that several new ports should be opened, but the principle, intrinsically just in itself, that a nation may rightfully designate at what ports foreigners may trade, was then and has been recognized and acted upon in every age and by all civilized, and even seml- Irarberous nations. However strong, therefore, may be the sympathies and pressing the necessities of the commercial and the governing classes of England, they must in no case be per mitted to interfere in the wicked rebellion in which the mad caps of the South have involved the country. The right of the Gov ernment to dose any or all of the ports south of the Potomac during and even afler the rebellion, is clear and unques tioned, and it must and will be maintained at any cost andat all hazards. Humanity and Christian civilization never yield that right for a single moment. It is essen tial to national existence, and England herself would maintain it with every dol lar of her wealth and all the power she could command. Suppose that Ireland should arise en masse in rebellion with the exception of Galway, would not England at once by proclamation close all the ports of the Island, if she chose, Galway included, and she would demand that all nations should respect the decree. If to reward the loyally of the people of Galway, trade should be permitted at that‘point, who would- question the right cf Eu to do it. Now the GoTwramen* ) -given notice io f-.1l c-i:.-ccu'-irjc cf'.Lc the c'.tics bcu'.l: of Uic Polcraar arc for the The time be ng no longer puls of entiy; while a’l the ports from ljaine to tbs Chesapeake are open, as also are the ports upon the Pacific. Wlnrt right has England ,or any ether nation to. complain of this policy* The right to do it on our part carries with it the duty on theirs to respect it. The stem common sense of the English people, and their high moral principles as ixvell, will force their rulers to respect our fights, and to abstain from any interference in behalf of the traitors who are striving to overthrow the Government'and the Con stitution that 'Washington mid his com patriots established. America hag really nothing to Tear from the suppressed mut tejings that occasionally reach us in regard to the validity of the blockade. The English people themselves have too deep an interest in the maintenance of the prin ciples on which it was ordered. LET THE REBELS PAT THB.COSTS, It is a rule of lavr that the beaten party fo a euit shall pay the costs—not only his own costs, but those of the other party. A criminal is bound by the same general rule In. regard to costs, that litigants arc in civil actions. A horse thief or burglar, upon conviction, is not only sent to the penitential?, but his property, if he has any, isjtakento pay the expense of the prose* cution and trial, and to reimburse the in dividual who has sustained damage by icason ol his criminal acts. The soundness of this principle cannot be controverted. Its justice has commend ed it to universal adoption in modern ju risprudence. Why should not the same rule be ap plied to the secessionists who rebelled against the Union and staked their case on the wager of battle? They are criminals and are guilty of the crime of treason, which is far worse than burglary or horse stealing, as it embraces all 'other crimes, murder included. Why should not the rebels be made to pay the expenses of the war ? They have abundance of property which can be reached, both real and personal. Congress has the Constitutional right to confiscate every dollar belonging to every traitor in the South. The crime of which they are guilty, is of the most heinous character. The traitor to his country forfeits his life as well as his possessions. In this merci ful age Governments hesitate before in flicting the full measure of the penalty at taching to the crime of treason. It is very doubtful whether our Government will bang more than a few of the ringleaders, such as Jeff. Davis, Floyd, Twiggs, Toombs, Wigfall, Beauregard, Johnson, Claib Jackson and persois of that discrip tion. But there are tens of thousands of heads of messes, demagogues of neigh borhoods and leaders of counties and pre cincts, equally guilty, though not so con spicuous from want of opportunity or ability. Every one of these should be made to pay smart money to help indem nify the Government for the immense expense to which it will be put in restoring obedience to the Constitution and the laws. As slavery is the cause of the insurrec tion, and slaveholders are the chief actors and fomenters of the rebellion, slaves should he taxed to reimburse the Govern ment. Let the axe be Uid at the root of the tree. A moderate lax could be levied on slaves, the proceeds of which would pay the interest on the debt incurred in sup pressing the insurrection; and we submit for consideration the following outline or substance of a bill, which might be en titled : An Act to reimburse the expenses incurred by the Federal Government in enppreasing the slave holders' Insurrection. Stc.l. Be it enacted, etc : That every person held asaelavc by the lane or customs of any State, and being over the age of twelve years, shall be subject and liable to an annual tax of twenty dollars, to he paid by the Indl* ideal or corporation claiming toown the services of raid nereoa; and all persons held to labor as slaves under the age of twelve years shtll he assessed and taxed the sum of ten dollars per annum. The said taxes shall be col lected by the United States District Marshals and tbeirdcpntief, and the proceeds less five per cent, to be retained for cost of collection, shall be paid to such treasurers as shall be designated by law. The said tax shall be a lien on all persons held as slaves for twenty years after the passage of this act, and each persons shall be liable to bs hired therefor, at public vendue to whomsoever will pay said tax and the coats accruing for the shortest period of service of the person so offered for hire: and the taker shall have peaceable and undisturb ed possession of said person daring said time, at the expiration of which he or she snail revert to the former possessor or claimant. Sec. 2. That any citizen claiming possession of persons as aforesaid, held aa slaves by the laws or easterns of any State, who shall make oath, and furnish other satisfactory proof before the Dis trict Court, bv the testimony of loyal and credita ble witnesses' that he was loyal to the Union and obedient to the Constitution and the laws, and that he gave aid and comfort to the Federal Gov ernment, and actively opposed its enemies during the continuance of the secession rebellion, the Conrt shall decree that the tax mentioned in the Ere ceding section of this act, shall he remitted to im,aDOehall rot thereafter be assessed upon any of the perrons in his possession, and claimed by him to bo bis slaves; provided that the slaves of ci.izent who have been in rebellion against the United States shall not be exempt from said tax by their sale or transfer to a citizen who remained loyal during said rebellion. This act to take effect and be in force from the date of Its passage. The foregoing is lire spirit and an out line of a law which we would recommend to Congress for enactment The slaves of those who remained loyal to the Union during this struggle, should escape special taxation. The tax would be strictly con stitutional, as it would be in the nature of penalty against the traitors, and be assessed and collected to repay the expense to which they have subjected the Govern ment in quelling the rebellion and resto ring law and order. About three millions of slaves would fall under the provisions of this act, and fifteen dollars a head would be the average taxa tion, making the gross sum of forty mil lions per annum. This amount would pay the interest on a debt of three hundred millions which may accrue from the re bellion, and create a sinking fund for toe liquidation of the principal within twenty years. The enactment of such a law would give unbounded satisfaction to loyal citizens in the South as well as North. Only the guilty rebels and their Northern sympa thizers, would object. And they are the last persons to be consulted in the premi ses. The whole matter resolves itself into this plain and simple question: Shall the guilty or innocent he made to pay the cost to Government, of quelling the rebel lion ? Shall the traitors foot the bill of costs which they have created, or shall the loyalists have to defray it ? Cokgressmak Mat.— The Baltimore Patriot rays that Hon. Henry May, the Congressman from that city, before the election pledged himself to his constituents to vote for men and money to put down the rebellion. The Patriot intimates that his recent visit to Richmond and his subsequent iftnos, were mere dodges to escape from his pledge. May is undoubt edly a rebel at heart, although his necessities compel him to seem to be for the Union. His maneuvers has left. Baltimore city, at least tbe most important portion of it, without a representative. The Freebors.— The steamer Freeborn, which has figured pretty conspicuously in Chesapeake Bay and tributaries for the past six weeks, has been taken into Washington Dry Dock, where she will' undergo thorough repairs. Her thirty-two pounders are to be exchanged for heavy rifle cannon and shell guns. A TißonoAK. The papers state that “Gen. Harris, 1 * the nu>n that made the celebrated re treat with three thousand men from the ad vancing column of one company of his own secession friends, is a native of Virginia. Of course he is.

'TlotMnjf Fraud*, Robert Campbell uuu Rich mond, -who were appointed a special commit tee to investigate the alleged frauds in tarnish ing clothing lor the New. York volunteers, have performed their duty and made their report. From this repoi twe learn that on the of April, the Board of officers appointed for that purpose by the Legislature issued proposals for furnishing unforms and cloth ing for 12,000 volunteer militia. Proposals were received from various firms, but none could do the work in the specified time, but Brcoks Brothers of New York city, who claimed to have sufficient army cloth oa hand, or under their control, to complete the con tract The contract was given to that firm Soon after the contract was made, the Board were informed by Brooks Brothers that they neither-had or coold procure in market a suffi cient quantity of army cloth to make the uni forms,. and they desired an extension of the time stipulated in the contract for completing the uniforms, to enable them to get the army doth manufactured for that purpose. This, the Board, in view of the farts that the 44 capital of the nation was in imminent danger of being captured by the rebels,” and thereby the necessity for the movement of the troops at the earliest moment, declined to accede to. The Brookses then proposed to use a different kind of doth, samples of which they offered, and what they claimed was in every respect equal to the u army doth.” The Board, after Investigating and ascertaining that the army doth could not be procured in time, consented to the change, and signed the contract Thus 7,800 gray Jackets and 7,200 gray trowsers which were contracted to be made of army doth, were made of a miserable quality of “ shoddy,” badly cut, and in every respect inferior to the terms of the contract. Four residents of New York city, of unim peached integrity, were appointed to inspect the uniforms, bnt they Inspected them in piles, and only examined one or two at the top of the pile.. Upon such slight examina tion, the inspectors placed their certificates on each box, and they were thus sent to the soldiers at Elmira. The committee acquit all members of tbe Board of any interest in the contract The price paid for each uniform— overcoat. Jacket and trowsers—was $19.50. The committee say- And your committee further submit that the representations mode at the time such con tract was awarded as to the ability of Messrs. Brooke Brothers to furnish army cloth, the circumstances attending the change of such contract, as disclosed In the testimony, and the making of so many of said uniforms out of inferior cloth, and me sending of the same to the rendezvous most distant from the place of meeting of this Board, are strong evidences that Messrs. Brooks Brothers, regardless of Ibcir obligations to the People of this State, who had agreed to pay them a liberal price for army cloth uniforms well made up, have at least been guilty of a gross neglect in the exe cution of such contract; and your committee recommend that no farther payments be made to said Brooks Brothers thereon, unless they shall famish the State, free of expense, other uniforms, in the place of the defective ones referred to above. * Condcctob Cutleb, —The St. Joseph (Mo. ) Journal has a good word for Conductor Cutler, oi the Hannibal and Bt. Joseph Railroad. On Wednesday last his train had passed Hunne well station without whistling, and on its approaching Monroe, several horsemen were noticed to start oft This attracted no special attention, but on nearing the station, some rails were seen piled on the track and these on fire. Mr. Cutler got off to remove the rails, and in the act of doing so, he discovered some 500 horsemen dashing on him. He immedi ately ordered all on board, reversed the en gine and pushed back, receiving three fires Ircm the rebels. The iron horse was too fleet and all escaped unhurt Taking Advantage op theib Necessi ties —The South feels and bewails its help lessness under the blockade, and is willing to pay fabulous prices for “trifles” which it never valued before. Needles sell quick at five cents apiece, and a Cincinnatian has made $2,000 on a lot which he smuggled to Nash ville about his person. Steel pens offer an other margin for profits. A speculator—who must be a live Tcnkec—traveled leisurely along through Kentucky to Tennessee with his “show wagon,” and made no less than SIO,OOO 00. the quinine he had stowed aboard. This kind of business—small though it be—is making fortunes for scores of individuals, who take good care that there Is no repudiation of debts in their cases. Michigan Loan. —The Detroit Advertiser says that since the announcement of the State officers of the minimum price (90) at which tb& remainder of $500,000 issue ofState bonds would be sold, several prominent citizens ot Detroit and vicinity have come forward and taken loans, varying from one thousand to fire thousand dollars, at the prescribed figure. Encouraging ofi'ers have also been received from the East, leading to the conviction that the whole loan will speedily be taken. Indeed, one eastern house offers to take the entire balance at 87 should the State conclude to ac cept that rate. Aldlrmamc Sports.— A party ofNewJYork Aldermen, including President Genet, Alder man Alike Tnomey and others, met for a drinking bout, at the Hone House, a few nights since. They met there Stephen Phil bln, Esq., a wealthy New York gentleman, when a sharp political dispute arose, soon in augurating a fight Philbin soon dressed Ta omcy’s eyes in mourning, when the balance of the Aldermen present, in gallant style, “ sailed in,” and the whole party combined gave Mr. Philbin a severe drubbing. A citi zen who was passing called the police, who, in the “usual way,” arrested Mr. Philbin and took him to the station house, but let the Aldermen go. A Very Patriotic Lady. —An elderly lady who attended a meeting of the Ist Vermont Regiment, arose, full of enthusiasm, and said she thanked God that she was able to do something for her country ; her two sons, all she possessed in the world, were in the regi ment, and the only thing she had to regret was that she could not have known of this war twenty five years ago, as die would have lumished atvwal more of the same sort. A Patriotic Family.— Brigadier-General Isaac Staat, late of Newport, R. L, had twen ty-two children—sixteen of whom were boys, and nine of them are in tbe naval and military service. Four of them are in the Rhode Island Regiment, four in the Massachusetts, and one in the Eighteenth New York. The father was in the Mexican war, and died in 1851, leaving one hundred and twenty de scendants. Ok tbe Rcpe.— The famous Prof. Sweet, known as the “ Providence Journal's daring tlght-rope dancer,” who is a member of the Second Rhode Island regiment, occasionally varies the monotemy of Washington camp life, by walking and dancing on a tight rope, stretched from the top of the National Hotel to the top of the Clarendon Hotel, opposite. Theodore Dehon, one of the leading merchants in New York, of the old well known firm of Davis, Crooks & Co., died in London on tbe 24th ult,, in the 4Gth year of his age. ■ The Reason Why.— Our readers ■will, of. course, have noticed the decided advance in the price of Southern State Stocks in the New York market varying from five to ten per cent during the past few days. The money article inthe New Torls TForZd of Saturday gives the fallowing as the reason: We have good authority for stating that there have been orders in this city for some weeks, from capitalists In New Orleans, to purchase for their account Southern State stocks and securities. The tenor of the let ters which accompanied these orders evinced a conviction that the North must prevail, and a reconstruction of North and South take place under the Constitution of the United States. Some of these gentlemen are con fidential friends and financial advisers of Je£ Davis. The Pat and Pension or ora Volun teers.—The following recapitulation affords useful Information to volunteers and their families: L After being mustered into the service of the United States, volunteers are entitled to pay the same as regular troops. IL If disabled by wounds received in serv ice, or disease contracted in service, they arc entitled to aa invalid pension during life, or as long as the disability continues. lIL II any are killed or die In the service of the United States, leavings widow, she is en titled to what pay is due her husband and a pension.

Lyon, was a blow in the right direct lon.] Nearly every thoroughgoing Union man in town says it ought to havj been donee month ago. As a mattes of-course the seces sionists are dreadfully shocked by the occur rence, and are wringing their hands in great anguish over what they call an outrage on the liberty of the Press; hat their complaints go for nothing, and the a flair -will be forgotten at the end of a week. Those virtuous individu als who are so extremely sensitive about the suppression of •the State Journal forget that a Uw of Missouri seriously curtails the freedom of the Press to speak upon the question of slavery, apd they ignore the fact that to say that slavery is a sin, and no slave owes com pulsory service to his master, would subject a newspaper to indictment for inciting slave in. surrections. 'What then is the use of all this nonsense about curtailing the liberty of the Press. The State Journal has been guilty of crimes beside which the publication of mat ters touching the rights and wrongs of slavery pale into insignificance. Dally has that perfi dious sheet teemed with the most outrageous lies and misrepresentations of the position of the United States Government, and especially has it influenced 'die passions of bad men by representing that Claib. Jackson would bring them aid from Arkansas and asslst-them to expel ignomlnionsly the United States troops. By systematic lying it has done more to create a riotous rebellions spirit in St. Louls than all the writings about slavery would create in twenty years. It is a blessing for the peace of the city that such an abominable publication Las been stopped, and even if it is a stretch of power, all good citizens will rejoice, although a lew weak-kneed “scceshers” are slightly affected in the spinal column by the transac tion. It ever means were justified by the end this is a potent example. CoL Bigel’ssplendidTictory over three times his number near Carthage continues to ex cite the admiration of Ms friends. The full accounts published here and by tho Chicago Tribune, have given every fact to the public— ana as these accounts have been derived from different sources, they agree with wonderful accuracy in details. It appears now that Ben. McCullough was in the fight with two thou sand Arkansas troops, but they were not sup plied with sufficient artillery, and made no headway against SigeL Our troops shot down the secession flag three times, and finally it had to he removed to a fresh place to escape our shots. There, is a wonderful concurrence in the estimates of the number of rebels kill ed and wounded. A private letter received fiom Springfield, from a gentleman who went over the ground after the battle, says that from the number of newly made graves, and the ap pearance of the field, he judged the number of lives lost would exceed three hundred. The prisoners taken from the enemy stated about the same number.. CoL Sigel's dispatches to CcL Harding, who is in charge of thYa post, say that between two hundred and fifty and three hundred were killed on the other side, as his men saw the effect of nearly every round from their artillery, andpicked off their cavalry fast and namorously. The detach ment belonging to Sigel's regiment, who were Itft as a guard at Neosho, were taken prison ers by the enemy, and would have been inhu manly slaughtered, excepting for the interpo sition of Bin McCullough and some of the Missouri officers. They were disarmed and allowed to return to Springfield, on taking the oath not to bear arms against the Southern Confederacy. This oath is already interpret ed to mean that they will not g<r outside of Missouri to fight the Southern Confederacy, but if the “ corn-fed ” troops come into this State, they are at liberty to fight them. The men have been re-armed and will bo stationed at exposed points as a guard, to intercept small detachments of rebels on their wav southward. Speculation is worse than useless as regards tie present position of affairs in the South west, and the probable turn in events after the junction ot the forces under Gen. Lyon with Major Sturges’s command and the various regiments heretofore sent to that region. It is estimated that Gen. Lyon, with the addition of fifteen hundred Home Guards, under com mand of Col. John 8. Phelps, and CoL Wy man’s Illinois regiment, whicn will soon ba on the march for Springfield, will have at least ten thousand effective fighting men at his ser vice. This respectable army will have an abundance of cannon, and being well equipped in every particular, excepting, perhaps, a de ficiescy in cavalry, they will or should be able to drive the enemy before them. Gen. Lyon will not be surprised in any of the tl cornfod” traps laid for him in Arkansas, and this week ought therefore to bring us some glorious news. 11l ere is an abundance of evidence that the seciesionists in Missouri arc making a death struggle. Ajl over the State they are rising in full strength, and have accordingly shown more vitality within the last week titan at any time before since Claib. Jackson’s escapade. The prompt action of the Illinois troops in Noith Missouri, and the spirited skirmishes at Monroe Station, has cleared that region of farther present trouble; but accounts from the central counties along the Missouri river, between Boonville and Lexing ton, look rather threatening, although there is an impression in this city that our friends above axe more frightened than hurt. The difficulty is that while Home Guards are at tending to the towns wherein they reside, the Bcceeslonitts collect their forces and concen trate at appointed places, so as to outnumber the Union Home Guards at the point of at tack. Hence, it is believed that Jefferson City is or has Dccn In danger, because the re taking the State Capital has undoubtedly been planned so as to draw off the forces from the Southwest and give Ben McCullough a free sweep. To checkmate this game, nearly a thousand troops were sent to Jefferson City last night, and with thoae’already there, they should be able to fortily the place against any assault the scceehcrs, with inferior arms and. no cannon or shell, can make. One week from to-day is appointed for the reassembling of the State Convention at Jcf ferson City, and upon their ability to prevent that meeting depends in a great measure the success of the scceshers in this State. They know that fact too well to omit any effort to frustrate their fees. U the Couveution over turns the present State Government and pro ceeds to institute another, even provisionally, ordering an election fora full set of State offi cers next month, the power of the State is wrested from the hands of the secessionist* forever. This blow at their main strength will be severely resisted. Luckily the Union majority in the Convention is large enough to sutler a few defections, and the Union mem bers arc brave enough to insist upon their rights with pistole in their hands, it necessa ry. Country secessionists say the Convention will never meet, and that if it does meet, the secession members must Lave the upper hand or blood will flow. Thead dress to thepeople of Missouri, issued from Nashville, Tenn., by our fugitive Lieut. Gov. Thomas C. Reynolds, was published yes terday, You were furnished with an abstract for Saturday’s issue, by telegraph. Thisdocu meat is decidedly rich. Reynolds remarks that he left Jefferson City to further the in terests of Missouri, and by “rapid traveling” reached Arkansas the third day after. People arc wicked enough to laugh at the confession of Tom’s running powers; they beat Claib. Jackson’s all hollow, and it is proposed to en ter Jackson and Reynolds for the next 4th of July foot-races at the Fair grounds. Bat the most modest part of this racy appeal is the assurance ol the fugacious writer, that Mis sourians need feel no alarm about the capture of Claib- Jackson, inasmuch as he (Reynolds), as his legal successor, will certainly be around in lime to put on the gubernatorial robes, after Jackson’s capture, and be hopes there fore uo one will be foolish enough to order ah election till he has had an opportunity to re turn. Verily, secession has turned poor Tom’* head. Well, he Is not the first poor Tom who has been left out in the cold, for Shakespeare puts one of nis **Toms” in King Lear in the same fix. It will be a good thing for Reynolds to remain there through the hot weather— ’twill improve his health. Local affairs are quiet The State Journal ep’sode for awhile promised some excitement, and it was deemed best for safety’s sake, to station a couple hundred of Home Guards in the Custom House building to bs handy in case of any designs on the Democrat or Anzdntr offices. This was Friday night On Saturday there being nobody at the Democrat office, the proprietors applied to Cot McNeil for aoout twenty men, who remained over night in the editorial room without disturbance. The movement of troops Sunday evening caused tome stir, mainly m secession circles, but this is getting to be common and not worth no tice. Cheering for Jeff Davis is a common amusement for the idle sccesheia.’ They can be heard almost every evening, and whenever the Journal put on any flaming notice of se cession victory on its bulletin board, the Jeff Davis cheers multiplied rapidly.’ When Col. Dougherty’a regiment went off South a few evenings ago, the cheers for the arch traitor Davis were given with the design of insulting the Dlinosians. Whenever a company of Home Guards pass through Fourth street, a few ee cet litre invariably croak out, “ Three cheers for Jtff Davis”—but the cowards oh the side walk fearing some demonstration by the froope (having found out that our men cannot be trifled ‘with), generally squelch the said cheers by cries of “ don*fc cheer,” or “ for tliamc.” One Alexander Eayser,'a German secession ist, has been trying to gain notoriety by foTcinghlmehlf into print on various occasions.

Pi ogress qf Business—lbriraUs cf two Northern Traitors—The Decrease qf the Begular Army —TIiC Arguments &o and Con, [Correspondence of.the Chicago Tribune.] Washington, July 13,1861, The business of both Houses of Congress goes on swimmingly, and an early adjourn ment Is confidently looked for. The few who are opposed to the maintenance of the Gov eminent bjfall the force necessary, are dls. pcsed to let the wflTof the people take its course, alter they have had their say in'oppo siticn. Vallasd!gham,the representative mm of the traitor party in tho House, has been heard. It is not likely that Ben-Wood, his only Northern confrere , will open’his mouth. He is a stealthy traitor, without, cither the openness, the pluckier the intellectual ability of V&Uandigbam, The latter is a man of in disputable talents, however perverted. He Is a ready speaker and parliamentarian, and pos sessed of an invincible sang froid , and the au dacity of the adversary himself. In person, Vallandighazn is tall and firmly set, with a keen eye, black hair and beard, florid face, compressed lips, and a determined expression of countenance. His manner is rather quiet and self-possessed, but he has the tenacity of a bull-dog. Not even “Point-of-order” Bur nett, the Kentucky traitor, makes more fre quent or resolute efforts to throw obstacles in the way ot the minority of the House, by raising questions of privilege, points of order, calls for division for tellers, and for the yeas and nays. When excited, Vallandigham man ifests it by a peculiar, inimitable sneer, which gives a most vicious expression to a counten ance not naturally inferior in the elements of good looks. Ben Wood, the New York traitor, is in some points almost a copy of Vallandigham, while nis personal appearance is in remarks ble contrast with that of the Ohio member. Ben Wood is the notorious lottery operator and policy vender of New York, the brother of Fernando, of infamous memory, and a political and pecuniary speculator in all forms. He buys and sells men—not negro men—but politicians of the Afi£lo*Saxon race, and of more or less respectable reputations. His pimps and parasites in political jobbery and lottery policy vending are scattered over near ly every State in the Union. They are espe cially numerous in the Southern States—and he has large interests in seccssiondom, which accounts, to a great extent, for his course on this great rebellion. What is not attribute ble to this motive, may be found in that natu ral sympathy which the false and the vile feel lor traitors,and in the desperate gambler’s ex pectation, eo favorable to his interests and wishes, that the Government will somehow ; ccme out the loser, and the South the winner, at the end of this great struggle for supre macy. In person, Bsn 'Wood is the precise exponent of his inmost character. Never was there a man on whose face was more plainly written knave.’’* A pale, cadaverous, unwholesome complexion, a cold, snaky, un certain eye, a manner compounded of dogged assurance and cringing complaisance,—he in spires instant distrust in the observer, and a Qtsire to avoid the proprietor of such une quivocal traits of character. His whole aspect and demeanor carry with them the idea of a cold, calculating, heartless speculator in the follies and weaknesses of mankind, to whom honesty and faith, virtue andhonorare empty names. What wonder that such a man, win ning his election by baseness unparalleled, should betray his constituents on the first ballot ? It now seems probable that the only ques tion likely to provoke much difference of opinion, or to lead to delay at the present season, are the modifications of the tariff, and the permanent increase of the regular army. The latter is a point upon which there exists the greatest possible diversity of opinion. On the one band, it is urged by leading Republi cans, that the danger into which the nation fell so suddenly could never have gone the length it did, if we had been possessed of a standing army large enough to protect the public property, to enforce the collection of revenue, and to confront the rebellion when it first broke out, with the strong hand of power. It is claimed, that in order to guard against such dangers and surprises in the fu ture, we should have a permanent army at Rest large enough to fully garrison all the national forts, and to place troops where they are needed all along our frontier. On the other hand, it is urged by the oppo nents of a standing army—including many of ihe most influential Republicans in both Senate .and House-that a standing aimy is a standing curse to a free people; that it will increase to an unnecessary extent the already large expense of the Government; that it will add millions to the patronage of the Executive, and that in a direction the meet dange'ous, if abused; that so great a multiplication of army officers would be moct injurious in its tendency, since it would create a kind of military aristocracy, and that the experience of the rebellion proves that aimy officers are of all citizens the most unre liable in lime of peril; that their temptations to prove traitors or usurpers are almost irre sistible to men so educated, and endowed with that military ambition which so easily seduces the imagination and corrupts the loy alty of men; that the true and only reliable resource to-meet a great public danger, Is in the ranks of volunteer citizens, whose pat riotism, and not pay or glory, will be their controlling motive; that the mass of the reg ular army Is and would continue to he largely composed of foreigners serving for pay, and deficient in that intelligence and ambition to sccceed which Is so valuable in times of emergency; and that the estab lishment of a large and permanent standing army would be a step in pre cisely the wrong direction at this time, giving occasion to the world and to our domestic eu eniiea to say that it is a confession of the weakness ot popular Government, an appeal from opinion back to force, and a measure ia itself anti-iepubllcan and dangerous to popu lar liberty. These arc some of the arguments privately assigned by the opponents of the scheme re commended by the Secretary of War provi dtd in the bill reported by Senator Wilson from the Military Committee. The question cot having yet been directly reached in cither House, there has been no opportunity for de flate on this important matter* As an element of the question having a practical bearing, it is alleged that since the call of the President lor recruits for the regular army, to the ex tent of eleven regiments of about 8,200 each, the enlistments tnrougUout the country have only amounted to ten per day, while the vol unteers for three years have been reckoned by thousands. This evinces the little populari ty, even in a time of such general destitution and scarcity of employment, of the army ser vice as apeimanent occupation. It also shows where is the real reliance of the Government when imperiled, viz: on the spontaneous and ready f crvlcc of its hundreds of thousands of loyal citizens who could at any moment be depended upon to repeat the sacrifice they are now makkg, to protect and defend their cherished Government against whatever pow er ; for the same argument applies to a for eign war, as to this domestic insurrection. The only argument which appears to possess much weight in bebnli of a permanent in ciease of the army, is that it might become necessary to gairisou the Southern States as fast as the authority of the General Govern ment is re-established In them, in order to protect loyal citizens and keep down future outbreaks of rebellion. But this is a remote contingency, since the three-year volunteers will be likely to do the work of the war so thoroughly that in all probability the loyal men ot the Sontby with slight assistance from the Government, will boable to hold in check the slumbering embers of rebellion after the war Is over. In any event, we have every reason to rely upon the principle that the great body of men, in any community, are al ways found ranging themselves- upon the strongest side. Hitherto the rebellion, In the forbearance and failure of the lawful govern ment to assert itself has proved the stronger; and the result is seen in the adherauce to it of all that timid and uncertain class, compos ing the majority in all communities, who will make any sacrifice for peace and a quiet life. Let the Government once assert and prove its power, and we shall find nearly all the citizens of the South again flocking to its standard, and wondering how they could ever have been eo deluded as to desert it If these reasonings are good for anything, there seems no valid reason for adding thirty millions per annum to our already burdensome taxes, to be, moreover, enormously increased by the necessary expenses of this war, for the support of a standing army which Is likely to waste In idleness the substance of the people. The signs now are, that opinion may be pretty evenly divided between disbanding the regular army called for by the President’s proclamation within, say twelve months alter the termination of the war, and continuing it m permanent garrison in the Southern States. Next week will show which side will prevail. Alpha. A Lunar Balnbow. [Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune J Dwight, July 10th, 1861. Last night the good people of the for lamed town of Dwight, were treated to a sight rare ly seen. It was nothing less than a Lunar Rainbow.

Agreeab'y to orders, about half-past seven the whole body took up a line cf march. We emlarked on the "City of Alton” about nine o'clock, and before night our teals were all pitched, on the west side of the Arsenal grounds at St. ’ Louis. Here we remained un til yesterday morning, when we went-on beard the “City of Louisiana” and landed at this point about eunaet- We were able thus to.duly appreciate the pTeavaro of landing a regiment of tre ops with all the baggage there unto appertaining, in the night; besides pitching tents and trying to rest. To-day, however, we are finely situated in a'pleasant spot. A large unoccupied flouring mill affords a place for the Quartermaster and Com missary, while a frame dwelling was‘found without an occupant, which afforfe ample room for a hospital. On landing, we found a party had just Jeff for the country with some six or eight loads of bacon and Other provisions, forthe land of ‘•Dixie.” CoL Marsh then directed a detach ment of Heme Guards to pursue the wagons. This morning we were favored with an oppor tunity of seeing some contraband goods. > Six yoke of oxen stood quietly chewing their cud, while the drivers lay sleeping in a tent guard ed by a file of men. The contraband still lies her e awaiting, further decision. - The Union men of this place are greatly re joiced to see a regiment of men to sustain them, audit is thought tfcat-the last load of contraband goods bis left the lovee. The health of our men is generally good. It Is two months to-day since we went into camp at Joliet, and but one man has died from disease, and his death was probably hastened by being removed from Joliet to Ottawa. One man was drowned in the Desplains River at Joliet, in May. At camp Pope two men were accidentally shot, one through the thigh and- the other through the haul, and both were recovering at last accounts. To day there are but eight in the hospital, and none of the number are seriously sick. The weather Las been unexpectedly cool aud pleasant as we have moved South. The Arsenal grounds were hotter than our camp in ibis place, on account of the wall keeping off the breeze. In the three weeks since we left Camp Good ell, it has rained but twice so as to keep us in our tents. We have seen but one copy of the Tribune for three weeks, and you may be assured tint not to get a Chicago paper, is among the greatest privations of camp life. What our luture movements may be, we of course know not, but our men are ready for action at any time the order comes. ' B. FRO.H WESTERN VIRGINIA. Health of the Troops—What they need—Graves discovered —Three months' men. [Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial.] Beelinoton, Va., July 12. It is really wonderful, considering the pri vations and fatigues to which onr troops are subjected, that their sanitary condition should remain comparatively good. There is not a score confined in hospital quarters, and but a few that require the attention of the physi cians. What the men need most are newspa pers and tobacco; neither of which can be ob tained here, at present. Officers are reduced to the necessity of begging “a chew” from fortunate privates, those possessing the trear sure of a slab of 41 cavendish,” or a paper of fine cut, have to retire when they Indulge in the luxury of a quid. They don’t knowhow to refuse a companion in arms, and are com pelled to keep the secret, lest their limited stock vanish like green fields before an army of locusts. Tho newspapers are sadly missed. Even tobacco would be given up for a daily supply of papers to keep them in communica tion with the outside world. The few that are brought over from Grafton are kept In circulation from tent to tent, till they are the merest shreds, and blurred with much use and dirt. The sutlers that followed the army to Phll lippi have given out, though two are expect here.to-day. But their stock Is exceedingly limited—confined to tobacco, sweet crackers, herring, a few raisins and figs, and a little sta tionery, which they retail with great discre tion and at exorbitant rates. The soldiers pay for these extras in tickets, on which the sut ler fixes his sign-manual. The soldier obtains an order for one dollar, (not less,) which he takes out in five and ten cents tickets, and uses them in placeof small change. Of course, when pay day comes, these orders are deduct ed out of his month’s pay, and the amount they call for handed over to the sutler. We ail suffer for “small change.” The sutler la supposed to be “flush ” in that medicine, but he will not change a dollar bill on the best bank in Ohio unless you will take at least halt of it in his knick-knacks, and now that the sutlers arc missing, wc are unable to buy any thing because change cannot be made. There has been no skirmishing to-diy; but the lines of our pickets have been gradually advanced, till it is easy and safe to reconaoiter the camp and defences of the rebels. On the right of the pike they do not appear to have made as much preparation, and our picket lines have been extended pretty far towards the face of Laurel Hill on that side. Turning the right of the hill where the first skirmishing occurred, you come out into cleared meadow and pasture land, with an old log building but a little distance from the pike. Our boys got too thick in that building yesterday, and the rebels sent a aix-ponud ball that knocked off the chimney and scattered them pretty quick. To-day, however, they went down again and looked about the prem ises, and made a discovery' that astonished them not a little. There were four fresh graves, each over twenty fed long, and opposite them, across the ravine, other fresh graves, but how many they canid not determine, as it was not safe to advance that far. Another grave, in which six had been buried, was soon after found. I have been a little cautious in receiving the statements made by the soldiers of the num ber killed by them in skirmishing, but the silent attestation of these gravA leaves no doubt in my mind that the report of their own cavalry to a farmer in this section is true. He said that they had had over fifty killed and as many wounded. They have learned to fear the Minie mus kets of the 9th Indiana and the Enfield rifles of the Ohio 14th—the two regiments that have, so far, been chiefly engaged iu skir mishing, In one instance a crack shot in the 14th ia known to have killed his man at over 800 yards, and I persona ly know several in the 9th who would not miss at that distance once out often times. The rebels are more careful than ever how they show themselves, and any unusual movement on our side la stautly throws their camp into commotion. Our men are exceedingly venturesome, and frequently show their daring where there can be no compensation for the risk incuTod. It was in one of these expeditions that John Houghton lost his life yesterday. He ran right Into range of a thousand concealed mus kets. and his life was the atonement for such recklessness. Houghton was from South Bend, Ind., and a member of company I, 9;h Ind. He was buried to day by the side of Gerard and Smith. Another is missing from the 9tb, who is supposed to have been cither killed or made prisoner; probably the former, This mokes our loss four killed and seven wounded, and one captured—or about one to ten of the rebel?. They are discovering very rapidly, that even in guerilla warfare, upon their own chosen ground, they can ha and will be sadly beaten. Wise will have to resort to seme other system of barbarous warfare, if he expects to succeed. The time of our three months’ troops is nearly up—that of the Indiana regiment on the 24th, and the Ohio on the 28th. If the question of enlisting had been pat to them at Camp PhUlippl,! very tew would have offered, but now it is safe to say that seven-eighths will enlist for the war. All they ask will be the privilege of reluming home for organiza tion. and to arrange their affairs willed they left in such haste at the first call of the Presi dent. It is not their intention to go, how ever, till the present argument is decided, and the Stars and Stripes planted on the top of Laurel Hill, as they now wave defiantly from the tallest tree of the hill from which the rebels were driven on Tuesday.

A PRIVATEER CAPTURING FOUR VESSELS OFF NANTUCKET SHOALS. [From the Providence Journal, July 13th.} No little excitement was produced yester day morning by our dispatch from Newport, announcing that aprivateer had just been cap turing vessels in Northern waters. The New port Xews of yesterday afternoon contains the following report: Brig Mary E. Thompson of Searsport, Capt. Havener, from Bangor for with a cargo of lumber, arrived at this port about 8 o deck this morning. Capt. Hvaener has furnished our reporter with the following in teresting and important intelligence: Tuesday, 9th inst., lat. 29 deg 16 min.. lon. C 7 deg. 40 min, (about 300 miles SE from New port,) was brought to by aprivateer, which came alongside. They boarded him and com menced ransacking the vessel, taking from her everything that suited their fancy, such as her only boat, oars, spare rigging, <kc., and after putting on bcardfour prisoners previous ly taken from other vessels, released her, they having no use for the vessel or cargo, and woulonot bum her, for reasons which will hereafter be stated. The privateer was along side of the Mary E. Thompson about three horns. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIVATEER. The privateer proved to be the full rigged brig Argo, of and from Charleston, S. C., about 200 tons burden, with a crew of sixty men, ermed to the teeth, each man apparently hav ing side arms sufficient to arm naif a dozen. The brig was armed with four broadside 13 pounders, and ene long 33-pounder on a pivot amidships. These guns Capt. Havener de scribes as old and apparently condemned pie ces. The Argo is identical with the brig Echo, which rag captured and carried into Charleston about two years since as a slaver, and about which there was so much stir at the time. On Saturday, 6th, the Argo also captured the brig John Welch of Philadelphia, Captain Filield, from Trinidad for Falmouth, Eng hud, manned her with a prize crew, and sent her oil. The second mate and two of the crew of this vessel, having, with others of the crew, been retained as prisoners, were put on board the Mary E. Thompson. The remain der of her crew are supposed to have been pul on board another vessel of which we shall speak below. The same day the Argo captured schooner Enchantress of Ncwburyport, from Boston lor St. Jago. manned her with a prize crew and sent her to a southern port. One of the crew of this vessel was put on board the Mary E. Thompson. On the day previous (sth), the Argo cap tured brig J. W, Warner, Smith, from New York for Monteviedo, with a geuenl cargo, which they made the same disposition of as those previously named. The Argo had also overhauled the shin Mary Goodell, of Searsport, from New York lor Monteviedo, which they boarded, ransack ed from deck to keelson, takieg from her water, provisions, stores, &c., and five of her crew, who eitber joined the pirates voluntarily cr were pressed into the service. The cargo of the John Welsh Is owned by Salvador & Zuletta of Trinidad, and Captain Filield bad a certificate to that effect from the British Consul. The United States ship Marion sailed from Portsmouth yesterday, on a cruise, and the Dale will leave to-morrow. They may fall in with this marine Ishmaelite. THE IK MARKER OF PROCEEDING. Capt Havener says that the manner ol pro • ceedirgof the pirates in making prises, is to inveigle them into their meabes by hoisting false colors. They first hoist a French or Dutch flag, and evince a desire to communi cate. If this fails to attract, they next dlspUy a signal of distress, and when sufficiently near, “ show their teeth ” and take possession. WHY THEY RELEASED THE PRIZES. Capt. Havener learned from one of the crew of the Argo, who said he was pressed into the service, that on leaving port they had orders to burn and destroy such vessels as it would not be an ebject to retain, and such were the ship and brig released as above mentioned. The reason why this was not carried out in these instances was, that with their own crew weak ened in manning prises previously taken, it was feared that the accumulation of prisoners would endanger their own capture by them and that of the vessel. The release of the ves sel was the cause of much dissatisfaction among the pirate crew. The Mary Goodell would not answer their purpose,for the reason that she was too heavy draught of water to take into a Southern port, and the cargo of the Mary E. Thompson they Lad no use for. THE DISCIPLINE OF THE PIRATE CREW Is said to be just nothing at all. When they boarded the Mary E. Thompson, they were two-thirds of them drunk, and cut and slashed around and among the sails and rigging with their knives and sabers <xd libitum. They act without any sort of concert,each stealing all he can lay his hards on, apparently on bis “ own hook.” HOW THE ARGO PASSED THE BLOCKADE. The crew of the Argo state that she left Chaileston either one week or a fortnight ago last Saturday, Capt. Havener cannot recollect which. She was towed out over the bar by a steamer, after which she set her sails and put to sea, directly in sight of the blockading squadron. This is their statement, which, if true, does uot leave a very exalted impression of the efficiency of the blockade. We doubt Us being true, however, In all its particulars. MORE PRIVATEERS FITTIKO OUT. The man above named informed Capt. Hav ener further, that another privateer, a fast earling topsail schooner, was fit. ad out in Beaufort, N. C., where there was no blockade, and would proceed to sea immediately? Thare arc also two others in Charleston ready to come out, and three in Savannah. Capt. Havener brought his vessel in here to procure a new boat ana a supply of rigging in place of that stolen, and also to laud his pas sengers. T\ e leam that Capt. Havener and his vessel escaped because the cargo was of no use to the pirates, and they could not venture on collecting too many prisoners on board, and,- mcreover, a barkontlne hove in sight, which the captain of the Argo wished to pursue. He told Capt. Havener to steer southward, but in the night Capt Havener turned northward and made nis escape. The laic General Garnett. The death of Bobert Selden Garnett, com mander of the rebel forces in Western Vir ginia, is one of theseTercst blows tlUt the Secessionists hare yet received, fie was a brave, and until he chose to act the traitor’s part, a respected officer. He was a native of Virginia, and belonged to one of the “first families” of the eastern section of that State. He graduated at West Point in 1841, and was immediately assigned a second lieutenantcy in the Fourth Artillery, showing that he held a high rank in his class. In July, 1844, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Infantry Tac tics in the U. 8. Military Academy, a decisive proof of the esteem with which he was re farted at headquarters. He remained at West olnt until October, 1844. He acted as aid de-camp to Gen. Wool from January to September, 1845. We next hear from him in the Mexican war, where he di&- tzngnifihed himself. He was aid-de camp to Gon. Taylor from June, 1846, to Janusy, 1849, and was promoted to a First in Aug nst of the former year. He was breretted Captain for his gallantry in the several battles about Monterey, and brevetted Major tor his good conduct at Buena Vista. In 1848 he was transferred to the infimtry, of which he be came Captain in March. 185 L The events of the past few months showed that his patrio tism was not proof, against the allnreinents of the Secession leaders, and in an evil hoar he disclaimed his allegiance to that Government which he had sworn to support and which had bountifully rewarded his services. He was made Adjutant-General of the Virginia forces and Brigadier General in tho Confederate army. His false honors were bat of brief con tinuance, and he has died inglorlonaly. His rgc must have been about 40 years.—Cinrin tiiifi OautU, The National Sons* FrohibUed.

These tacts are the first fruits of the laxity with whlc i the blockade is enforced at the mouth of the Mississippi, t . , Another result, though indirect, is no leas undesirable. The cruise of the Sumter far_ li-hea the cotton craving governments of Europe with the best evidence that our block ade is set ench as international law demands, aid that they are released from all obligations to respect it. We have no right to demand 02 England and France, who consent to suffer, while we, within legal warrant, proceed to the repression of the Southern insurrection, that they shall connive at the deficiencies of our measures, or decline to take cotton when ihe way to got it Is thus shown to be open. 11 England were new to declare the blockade of New Orleans merely formal, and therefore without to recognition, and if her squadron were to protect British merchant men in carrying away cargoes of cotton, wo should have no right to complain. She would act strictly in pursuance of an equitable prin ciple announced at the commencement of this contest, and which we at that time cordially accepted. Our duty, therefore, is evidently to do what sbciuid have been done three months ago— make the blockade Impenetrable. There has been no moment since the blockade was pro claimed, when it was cot practicable to per fect it at a week’s notice. It was only neces sary for Government to charter, arm, and dis patch gome of the many unemployed coast wise steamers, which the fishermen of New England would have hastened to man, to close every Southern port effactnally, and es tablish such a thorough patrol of the entire coast os would prohibit the egress of armed ■vessels, and the ingress of vessels bearing mu nitions and supplies. It was only a few days tines a vessel with 100,000 stand of the most approved European arms reached New Or leans, in spite of our blockade. Bat if relac tant to take this course, there is another which there is, no apology tor omitting. To the amazement ol mankind, the rebels have .now for a third of a year, surrounded Foit Pickens, without the garrison of the fortress taking any step to disperse them. At their leisure they hive girdled the place with every conceivable means of reducing it. Not a shot or shell have disturbed their labors; the stranger could only suppose the garrison to be In firm and friendly league with the assailants. For some time an excuse for in activity was found in the weakness of the force and the deficiency of the supplies. Bat this has been remedied. Men to the fullest extent demanded, and food and munitions have been furnished; and a fleet of war vessels baa, since the middle of April, been anchored under the shadow of the fort. And yet shipping, and fortress, and rebel entrenchments, remain as if the object of ail three was the strict preservation of peace, and theindeflnitepostponementof that conflict, for which the entire nation imoa tiently waits. One result of this culpable in activity, and that immediately to our purpose, is that seven war vessels, whose services In perfecting the blockade, or in cruising after privateers, are urgently wanted, are permitted to lie idle and rotting in those tepid waters, with no more efficiency or promise of active service than if they were iu the Black Sea. We are entitled to know what sinister and it would setm treasonable influence perpetuated this mischievous status in quo. It has been In the power of Cap*. Brown and bis auxiliaries any time these two months, to destroy Gen. Brceg’s defences, disperse his army, and occu py Pensacola. Why has it not been done ? By whose counsel is*it that the fleet at Santa Rosa is anchored there forever, while the sea within sight of their decks is swarming with insolent privateers, and bogus men of war? The matter demands inquiry.—.V. 71 Ttmes, loth inst. Blockade of Galveston. [From the Galveston Civilian, July 3.] Yesterday afternoon the lookout on Head ley's buildings rnn up the red flag, signalizing war vessels, with the token for one sail and. one steamer beneath, bringing groups of cu rious observers to the obser/atories with which Galveston is so well provided- Indue lime the dark hull of a large steam propeller locmed up above the waters, followed by a “lowblack,” and approached the anchorage cutside the bar. By order of C*pL Moore, of the Confederate States Army, Capt. Thomas Chubb, with the pilot boat Koyal Yacht, with our fellow citi zet John 8. Savdor, proceeded to board the steamer, whlch’proved to be the South Caro lina, formerly in the New York and Savannah trude, but now converted into a war steamer. The Royal Yatch, in answer to the pilot sig nal of the steamer, hoisted a flag; but the steamer evidently intended to force them to beard thcechoontr; but. this was not the in tention. Capt.Cbubb, on seeing the Jack wis down, put about for the being at the same tune out of range, when the steamer boosted a white flag. The yacht then sent a boat alongside, bearing Capt SnydorandCapt. Chubb. They were received with due cere mony and marked politeness. CoL Snydor having delivered Capt Moore's letter, Capt Aldtn cave him written notice of the block ade. A conversation of about an hour ensued, duripg which Capt. Alden was assured of the entire unity of our people In reference to re sisting the oppression of the North- Capt. Ald<n expressed great regret that metiers had reached such a pass, but said he was thereto do Us fluty to his Government, and that the Intention was to en.'orcc obedience to it. He gave no assurances as to the meana which would be adopted to cirry out Its intentions so /ar as we are concerned. The hatchways being closed and guns all covered, it was impossible to loroi any conclusions as to the strength of the steamer. She has six large guns, evidently 42 pounders, one large swivel near her bow, and at her stem two brass 6 pounders, all ready mounted for use cs flying artillery. But few men appeared on deck, and the only clue furnished as to her complement was in her clothing hanging up to dry. Capt Chubb thicks there ore about 150 on board. Cupt. Alden caressed the belief that his Government would soon be able to bring the Southern States into subjection, and, on be* ing told that all classes of oar people would jutUr extermination flrst, seemed much sur prised. lie seemed disposed to converse frtely in relation to onr troubles, and received the plain talk and patriotic response of our two citizen* in good humor. He said he was able to enforce the demands of his Govern meat, and if necessary, could shell os out. He was assured that whenever it came to that, we would give him a warm reception. Major-General Robert Patterson. Mojcr-General Robert Patterson was born m Ireland in 17V2, and emigrated to this conn try when quite young, taking up his abode in Philadelphia. He received a collegiate educa tion, and early manifested military Inclina tions. After graduating at college, he was appointed First Lieutenant in the 22i Regi ment of regular U. S. Infantry; ia April, ISIS. he was transferred to the i>2l Infantry; ap pointed Assistant Deputy Quartermaster Gen eral (with the rank of captain) January, 1813, and Captain-in line, 1814, and thereupon relin quished rank in the staff. He retired from tbo army in the same year, upon the disband ment ol hlfe rc£im:xu He subsequently fol lowed the proftfcsiou of the lawia his adopted citv, and for many years was connected with IJF' military of Pciladelpuii. In I*l7 he was appointed Mt-jor-Gcncrat of volunteers, aud proceeded to Mexico aud assumed command of his di\ isioa. He was actively engaged in fhefiege of VeraCroz, but shortly aOerwird b!a health failed, and he returned to the Uni ted States, and was therefore unable to Uke part In the wtl! contested battles in the upp.r part of Mexico, which crowned the Amsrie m aims with glory and conquered peace. The Kentucky State Guard In Ten- ueuee. A gentleman of this city, who was at Camp Boone, near Clarksville, Tenn., lust Saturday, eaya that there were then about 2,000 members or late members of the Kentucky State Guard there, wearing their State Guard uniforms but having no arms. He says that he heard there were not less than 3,C00 ot the State Guard in Tennessee. Now these are the young men that Kentucky has been at the expense of supporting in camps of instruction. She has paid for feed ing and drilling and disciplining them, and now they go off by thousands and enroll them selves under the military authorities of a Slate at war with our Government, prepared to come back ct a signal to invade Kentucky and aid in revolutionizing her. We toil yen, fel low citizens, that the congregating of tbe members of tbe late Kentucky State Guard upon the Kentucky border has direct refer ence to projected’ operations in Kentucky, The secessionists may deny it, but, if they do. they deny wha; t :ey know is true. —Louisville Jouiuol. Bank Excitement at Bloomington* [From the Pantagraph 3 Quite an excitement existed this afternoon erjund the HcLean County Bank. A German (named Arglebach, we believe,) presented a check, atd was paid in stump-tall worth some 75 cents. On lindlng it would not pass ex cept far below par, he returned and demanded either good money or his check, which being denied, he returned with a crowd. The bank doors were then dosed, and the crowd made several rushes to force them open, and f~r some time the scene was ex citing, and the bank seemed In a fairway to be sacked. At length, through the mediation of A. Withers, Esq , the check was paid in go*a, and the excitement lessened, although at this writing, 4p.sr, the street is still fall of peo ple, and ouiet might be disturbed without much difficulty.
