Cfrfcflflo Crifrune MONDAY, JULY 22, 188 L BEGINNING OF THE END. Every day the rebellion lasts in creases the probabilities that slavery will receive its death wound before the struggle 5 ended. The incidents of each recurriag Joy is unfolding to a wider aud wider cir- cle of observers the true nature of the is- sue involved. No blood is shed in vain. ‘When a patriot falls by the lead or steel of the slaveholder, the scales drop from the cycscfliis relatives and henceforth they become sworn foes of the barbarous sys- t< m which seat forth the traitor who mur- dered him! But there is a class of hasty people longing to pluck unripe fruit They tre impatient to have the Government is :\‘C a proclamation abolishing slavery; criers insist that U should make a declara- tion of a purpose to receive aud protect the slaves who escape from the rebels But the time is not yet for either course to* be taken. The “precipitates” must await the inexorable logic of events. There is a time for all things, and the time m,t the emancipation of four millions of slaves has not arrived. How near or how distant the event may be is unknown to mortals, li may burst upon our polit ical heavens as suddenly as the late com et ; or it may he postponed for years or generations. But that the shackles will fall sconer or later from the limbs of.eve- ly bondman in the United States, is as sure as that a just God ruleih over the affairs of men. The proclamation of emancipation would be issued to-morrow, if the whole loyal people of the Union desired it. No Presi dent or Cabinet or Congress would dare to stand in the way of the popular will* But the people are not a unit in the affirm ative of the proposition; nor is there a And until the loyal majority in its favor. masses ore substantially unanimous in de manding the abolition of slavery by mili taiy proclamation, no such step can be ta ken. But while popular sentiment falls far short of the wholesale eradication of the accursed thing, never before did the opinions of men take such rapid strides in that direction. Tens of thousands of Northern men who, six months ago, re- garded slaves as the most respectable and sacred “ property 11 on earth, now look up on the system of slavery as an unmitiga ted evil, and would gladly see it extermi- nated if any practicable method could be devised. Great numbers of men who have never gone the little length of opposing the extension of slavery into free territory, and were always ready, for the sake of “ peace,' 1 to adopt any pro-slavery compromisc l and make any new concession, however degrading to the North, are now among the foremost in demanding that the war shall be waged with the whole power of the nation against the slaveholders, and that there shall be no compromise save un conditional submission to the Constitu tion and the Union. Others, formerly de- signated as u seruile doughfaces, 11 insist that this war shall be continued until sla very, the disturbing cause in our political system, shall be removed forever. At the head of this numerous class stands Daniel S. Dickinson, a conspicuous and influen tial leader of the “ conservative 11 or pro slavery wing of the Northern Democracy. His south-side sympathies have long been notorious; but the rebellion of the slave holders has wrought a complete change in his mind- In a speech made at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, not many weeks since, he is authentically reported to have declared, with great earnestness of manner, before an audience composed of the leaders and “solid” men of liis party, that “the South, first by seceding t; and second by firing on the old flag, had “ closed the door of reconciliation. He “ was for meeting them on their own j u ground. He would have no half-way “ measures—no compromises. Let us settle *• this t7iing speedily and surely. It may “ ruin this generation, but we owe it to “ next that they shall have no such troubles “ as tee hate had. He would strike now, in “ our might, and, if necessary, wipe the “ South (slavery) from the face of the earth. “ He knew that they would have civil war “ and, what was far worse, servile war; « and he would make the prophecy that 4k by the time this matter teas settled thepccu “ liar institution of the South would be swept “ away. Let cs finish things while we “ Aim ABOUT IT, AND LEAVE NOTHING BB “ hind rs to torment our children or de “ stroy the liberty of our posterity.” The only difference between this old chief of the hard shell democracy and the bal ance of his party is, that he has come to a “knowledge of the truth” sooner than they. The light has broken on his vision more powerfully than on theirs. He is a bolder man than the average of men. Having discovered that slavery was the cause of the rebellion: that the possession of slaves made traitors of their owners; that Slave ry and the Union were antagonisms, and cne or the other must perish, he did not hesitate to throw his weight into the scale of Liberty and Union. Thousands who have been with him and with the South on every political question heretofore, are with him now, and say: let slaveiy die, rather than the Union shall perish. But the majority of his party friends shrink lack from the dread alternative, still hoping that rebellion can be put down and slavery be pei milled to remain un disturbed. They try to persuade them selves that the cause of the revolt is some thing else than slavery; that it is disap pointed ambition; deprivation of office; removal from political control of the Government A few shallow minds ascribe it to the indifferent execution of the fugitive slave law, enactment of personal liberty bills, the election of Lincoln, and other foolish reasons. But Dickinson, discarding all such flimeey stuff, goes straight to the fountain from whence issue the bitter waters of disunion and treason. The system of slavery he perceives to be at the bottom of the whole trouble. It is the disturbing clement in the American political system which produces all our wo, and he boldly prescribes the only remedy sufficiently powerful to remove the disease in the body politic and restore the nation to moral health. Long established opinions founded on error, and deeply rooted prejudices, are ex tremely difficult to remove. Many bloody battles must yet be fought; thousands of loyal soldiers, we fear, must fall by the bullets of the slaveholders; sadness and mourning must be tell in every household for lost or maimed sons and brothers; pe cuniary distress must pinch the rich, as well as the poor, before all our people will get their eyes and hearts open to the great truth that Slaveby is causing this horrid sacrifice end shocking misery, and that the national armies must be commanded by the people to strike down this ac cursed dragon,*ere peace, unity and happiness can be restored. BUStOtJKI. The incredible stupidity of a large por tion of the people of Missouri, displayed in their rising and arming against the Fed eral Government two weeks after ciaib Jackson and his forces had been routed and scattered at Boonville, quite surpasses even their incredible treason. Surely never was there a community haring less reason . to rebel, but if the reasons had been great and indisputable, if the provocation had been intolerable, there surely never was a State where rebellion^had leas chance of physical success. It cannot be claimed that the rebels who have flocked to the standard of Gen. Harris in various parts of Northern Missouri arc of that class of he roic souls, smarting under grievances no longer to be cndcred,' who take up anus rev ived to do cr die against any odds. No, tley run whenever confronted by the Ftdertl troops. Thf-y desert their camps ard tester to the brush on the merest ru futrs o: the approach of their foea Their motto 'a dcril take the ItindinoM, and if it has not been inscribed on all banners of Gen. Harris’s brigade it is because the eternal fitness of things has been violated by that warrior. These men as little know what forces they have to contend against, as they do what they are fighting, (or, more 1 properly, retreating) for. The conclusion j is irresistible that the people who have ihus rallied with fowling pieces and field ! cutlery “lor their rights,” have not only j bad no conception of the power arrayed I against them, but have supposed that it I w*a*mly necessary for them to assemble at' a rural “ four-corners,” to kick off the gov-! eminent of the United States. "We are in- i formed that many of them have either not heard of the battle oi Boonvllle at all, or believe that Jackson was victorious, aud Gen. Lyon, with all his troops, taken pris oner. On this hypothesis their strange antics may be explained; in no other way can they be comprehended, or measured by any of the rules which are supposed to direct human action. How deplorable must be the ignorance which'lies at the bottom of secession in Missouri! And yet it can be hardly greater than that which prevails in the eleven misguided States which are now fighting against the Union and the Constitution. THE NORTHWEST AND THE WAR* At the breaking out of the rebellion, timid people indulged in the most gloomy forebodings, and when it became apparent that it would cost millions of money and probably the loss of tens of thousands of , lives to put it down, the entire prostration of business and the ruin of all classes was confidently predicted. Such anticipations were at first entirely natural, and in some branches of business they must inevitably be realized. It is not necessary to specify them, for the sad reality will come fast enough upon those who cannot escape them; but while war is a terrible evil mor ally and blasts the resources of a nation like the sirocco of the desert, there are some depaitments of trade which it will 1 stimulate and benefit. ] The effect the war will have upon the j resources of the Northwest is a question ( which, as might be expected, receives care- , ful discussion in business circles here. In , the manufacture of all articles necessary , for the clothing and the equipment of the i army, the New England and the Middle « States will be mainly benefited. "We are ' glad to notice, however, that our wagon- ' makers, and also our lead dealers, and per- 1 haps some other branches of business are 1 making an eflort, and it is to be hoped it will prove successful, to secure a portion of the trade in the articles which they severally represent. The government will unquestionably find it advantageous to purchase largely from some of our dealers and manufacturers. But the|supplies which relate to the subsistance of the army must come directly or indirectly from the North west. Our producers of wheat, corn, beef, pork, Ac., must supply the army mainly throughout the war, be it long or short. The derangement caused by the collapse of our Illinois currency, and the stagnation in the channels of trade everywhere, fol lowing the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and the certainty of w*ar, depressed the prices of our principal staples, and cast a ! gloom over business and financial circles. I But it is becoming apparent that this can- j not last. The heavy capitalists of the 1 country who mainly control the money accumulated by the national industry for a third of a century have virtually placed it at the control of the Government to put down this wicked rebellion. From the “strong boxes” of the capitalists it will flow into the hands of the people to buy army supplies and to pay the soldiers and the share which the Northwest will re ceive for food must be immense. Already trade in flour and .provisions is improving, and it is believed that with the foreign de mand which is likely to continue a good market may be expected for all the sur plus products of the Northwest So far, therefore, as it is possible to judge from the present state and the prospect of affairs, the Northwest has no cause for complaint or dismay. Far removed from the immediate and the desolating effects of the war, her people will cheerfully bear j their part of its burthens, and are in a po sition. to share largely in whatever bene fits it can bestow. A large surplus from last year’s crop is still in tbe 1l mds of pro ducers, and the present crop will add very largely to our available resources. That j surplus will all be wanted, and now that ; our infamous currency is sunk out of sight, I the people arc in a condition to demand | real money for whatever they have to sell | As to the time to sell and what prices are : likely be, each must form his own conclu ! sions after a careful consideration of all the ! facts at command; but we can see no rea son why our people may not hope for a 1 fair degree of substantial prosperity. NEW PUBLICATIONS. TEE ADVENTURES OF CAPT. BOMEVILLE. BY WASHINGTON IRVING. Nkw Yobk : G. P, Palnam. Chicago: S. 0. Griggs & Co., Nos. 89 & 41 Lake St. There is an indiscribable charm con nected with life and adventures in the Rocky Mountains and among the Indians that roam over the great central plains of the American Continent. So natural is this Lut ing that for the last half century writers of fiction have located their most thrilling tales there, and so great is the craving of our peo ple for this kind of literature, that intelli gent men,lhough fully aware, they arc reading Lv.cs, can scarcely throw such a book aside till it is all devoured. But here wc have real facts of an exploration of the rocky moun tains and among Indians, told in the Inimita ble style of Irving, and to read the volume is to become, as it were, personally acquainted with these bewitching scenes without the fa tigue, the expense, and the dangers connected with a journey over the plains, and a residence among the Rocky Mountains. The volume forms one of the splendid na tional of irving’e works, by Putnam, and will find a plu'*e in every library. The Member from North Carolina The application of Charles Henry Foster for a seat in the House from North Carolina, was so sublimely imprudent that It has been allowed to die the death in the Committee on Elec tions. Mr. Foster is a young man of the spread csgle Iklnd, a native of Maine, and a recent graduate of Bowdoln College. He was for a while editor of the Norfolk (Va.) Day Book, and later of the Murfreesboro (N. C.) Citizen , Democratic papers, both of the Breck inridge type. Indeed, he was a delegate, and one of the Breckinridge bolters, at Charles ton. When war broke out, the Southern at mosphere became too hot tor him, notwith standing his endeavors to acclimate himself; and being driven from the State he published a card in the Washington papers announcing himself a candidate for Congress, at a special election which he assumed to call by his own act. He has not been In North Carolina since that time, bat has endeavored to have himself elected by newspaper paragraphs only; I and of course he had no claim worthy a mo ment’s consideration. The Honse will exer cise a Urge discretion in passing npon the claims ot loyal reformatory movements in the South, but It will not allow Its generosity to be imposed upon.

The Excitement sfier the Army bud Stored. [Special Correspondence of Chicago Tribune.] WAiHisGTos, Thursday, July 18,186 L I must describe to you the feeling of Intense (.Lziety which prevailed in the city yesterday. The army had gone. No one knew the dan gers it would encounter, the place in which it would meet the emmy, nor the ambuscades into which It might full; hence every report was eagerly caught up, and no story was too gross and improbable tef secure belief. Tnc lime of communication between this and the ether tide of the Potomac were strictly guard id. No erecting was permitted. No messen gers could be found who had come from the field of operations; but absence of positive information only gave stronger wing to the im aginations of the timid, andsombre hue to the forebodings of the doleful. It was three o’clock before a word was heard upon which reliance could be placed. Meanwhile, rumor had annihilated our army, had given it a great victory,had taken Beaureguard and Davis pris oners, had carried off McDowell and his staff, and sent all the Federal forces pell mell to ward the entrenchments on the bass line —the Potcmac. It will appear strange to you that euch canards should be invented, aad stranger ict that they ehculd be listened io for a min ute. But remember that the expectation of the people here away has been on the stretch more than sixty days, that every man is unnaturally excited, and that the looking for great events has become the dally occupation. Of course such wild reports were credited by ibe ill informed or the credulous; but they arc the majority, and canard after canard was invented, discussed and swallowed, each one mating an appetite for more. The appearance of the evening paper, the Star , fmniebed matter for new excitement. In that was copied a paragraph from the Rich mond Ditpoich of the Bth, saying that John ston was falling back upon Winchester, and would continue his retreat toward Manassas Gap and finally the Junction. The same in formation was telegraphed to New Orleans and printed in the Delta of the 9th, and thence copied into the Memphis Appeal of a later cate, and finally Into the Star , where it first met the Northern eye. In view of the day’s operations, it was startling. The inquiry ran thus: “HasPatterson been humbugged? Has “ Johnston left a regiment or two on his old “ camping-ground, to maintain a picket guard “ and deceive Patterson, while, with more than “ 20,000 men, he has joined the rebels at Ma nassas? If so, what is Beauregard’s force? “ Had he 60,000 at first, and has he 80,000 now ? “Can our brave boys under McDowell over “ come such odds—Bo,ooo against 53,000—the “ former being strongly entrenched ? Is Wash “ ington safe ?” These questions will be an swered by the events of to-morrow and further advices from Martlnsburg; but at this writing, your correspondent is by no means sure that there is not well-grounded apprehension that the fears of our friends will be realized—that Johnston, who is the ablest among the rebel Generals, has not deceived Patterson, whose military reputation is none of the highest, and drawn McDowell Into a scrape. But the result will tell. The march yesterday was orderly and well conducted. The day was Intensely hot, the dust deep, and the difficulties of the road many. The way for the most part lay through timber, into which the torrid sun poured down its sliding heat, which not a whiff ot air abated. But though heavily loaded and unused to the labor imposed, the boys went on with out a murmur. The scarcity of water in that high and rolling country was seriously felt by man and beast; but there were few who fell by the wayside. Oh, for the enemy! was the aspiration that kept all nerves and muscles in working order, and carried the column through. Late in the the afternoon, when the restrictions upon travel were taken off, many gentlemen fol lowed on and came up with the rear at Fair fax, which, upon the first intimation of our approach, the rebels evacuated in baste, ac companied by the entire population of the miserable little place. Visitors who have re turned from the other side say that the caval ry were the first to tush into the village. They went through on the keen run, holding their carbines aloft ready for the fight But not a rebel was seen. The nest lately filled was empty, and there were abundant signs that they had left in hot haste. But why write the particulars that the tele graph Las already given you? Your corrcs pondentrieaves for the scene of the expected fight, by some sort of horse power yet to be provided, this morning; and his next letter will be written on field, under the shadow of our victorious banners. If a stray bullet etould be billeted upon him during the en grgement, some one else will take up his self appointed task, and keep your readers well informed of the further events of the war.

Among the honorary degrees conferred by Harvard University on Wednesday last, was that of Doctor of Laws upon Lieutenant General Winfield Scott, and his Excellency John A. Andrew, Governor of Massachusetts. This compliment by one of the first literary institutions in our laud is a grateful recogni tion of the patriotic services of these distin guished gentlemen in the present crisis of our country. Mr. Adams, our new Minister to England, is said to have gone to Court in a dark blue coat, the collar, cuffs and fiapa embroidered with gold,white email clothes,white silk stock ings, low fchoes; and his person, thus daintily harnessed, attached to an elegant dress sword. Ex-President Van Bureu was la Albany on Monday. In conversation he expressed the opinion that tie war ought to be vigorously prosecuted until the full authority of the United States Government is re-established. A relationship is said to have existed be tween the late Sultan of Turkey and the pre sent Emperor of France. The grandmother of Abdul Medjid was a creole of Martinique, Mile, de Rlvery, and a connection by blood of Josephine de la Pagerie, the maternal ances tress of the French Emperor. MUe, dc Rivery, after finishing her education in France, was returning to Martinique at the age of eighteen years, when the vessel which codveyed her was captured by an Algerine pirate. She was taken to Algiers, and bought by the Dey, who found her so lovely that he sent her to the Sultan. She became the favorite Sultana of Abdul Hamcd, father of Mahmoud, and grand . lather of Abdul Medjid. It was the European education which she gave to Mahmoud that mode him so superior a roan. • Dickinson College, Pennsylvania, has con ferred the degree of LL. D. upon Hon. Edward Bates, Attorney General of the United States. The wife ol Gen. Ben F. Butler, nee Sarah Hildreth, was for several years before her marriage, very successfully connected with the stage in some of the principal cities. She made her first appearance in the old New York Park Theatre in 1839, as Mariana, in “ The Wife.” She afterwards appeared at Cin cinnati, Louisville (where she bad a compli mentary benefit) and other Western cities, with decided success. After this she was married to Mr. Butler, and, although much attached to her profession, she never after wards appeared on the stage. She is a lady greatly beloved by all who know her. A Slave Iksubbection Planned in Ala bama. —A lady who has been for some time a teacher in Northern Alabama, and who left there on the 20th of June, informs the New buryport (Mass.) Merald that much apprehen sion existed in regard to slave insurrections. About the middle of May one had been plan ned. A black preacher had told them Lincoln was their Moses to rescue them from bondage. All the details had been arranged, and all the beaiiful white girls apportioned to the lot of different negroes.

J I do not know whether you have a corres pondent with tbia regiment or not, but, wish ing to make some suggestions public, X will, by your j crmisslon, make them through the columns of your ] aper, and also attempt a brief account of tie doings of the “ Ragged— -201h,” since they have been in thp enemy’s country. The fiut suggestion is, that ail persons hav ing friendf iu toe army should ‘brite to thzm often. Xh-.se who are quietly wearing awly their time at home arc little aware- of the cheering effects of a good letter from home; the soldier boja arc not always In the beat of spirits—it is proverbial that they ran to ex tremes in that matter—and when there are no orders to marcb, nothing will cheer them np like good news from home. When we are on a march, or preparing for a march, we need nothing more than onr regular rations to keep us all in good spirits,but when.wearelacamp we are watching every motion of the mail boys, and wondering that we do not receive any letters. There is more complaint in this regiment about the non-receipt of letters than about anything else. Where the fault lias 1 know not, but It should be brought to the at tention of those who can correct It, andl know no better way of doing it than through the columns of the TBmuira. The second suggestion is, that all persons holding mMi matter for the volunteers should send it forward to the regiment to which it is directed, with as little delay as possible. Toe Postmasters in the northwest can at all times know very nearly where all of our regi ments are located. and whenever letters can be sent with safety and dispatch, the Post masters shonldnot fail to send them—it would be simply doing their duty, and conferring a substantial favor upon their defenders. When a regiment is ordered forward, the Postmas ter at the place last occupied should also con sider all letters ordered forward; ’tis a small matter to the Postmaster, but to ns it ia a ihing of much consequence. We have not tad a regular mall for ten days—a portion of the fault has been in the regiment! but ’tla now supposed to be corrected, and if the pa pers will take hold of the matter our letters can be brought through. In the meantime, all letters lor the 20th Illinois Volunteers may be considered ordered to tbis point so long as we remain here. Send them along, whoever’s got them. This regiment has been here three days, and has dene good service already. Our Colonel, C. C. Marsh, has full command of all troops In Cape Girardeau county. The Home Guards number nearly four hundred; they are a fine looking set ofmen, mostly Germans, and they play Into enr bands like good partners. With their tEsktance we have already got posses fion of 13,000 lbs. oi bacon, a lot of powder valued at |COO, several barrels of whisky, a email tteamboat, and a goodly number of 5 mall Eecceselonists. The people of CapeGirardeau were delighted at our arrival; they flocked down, to the land ing to meet ns, men, women and children, and greeted ns with cheers and a general “ God bless yon, we are safe now.” The ba con was slipped bere from Hannibal, bat no directions were marked on it. It was taken on the road, some five miles below here. Tnis afternoon there was a load of whisky, belong ing to the same freight, taken by the home guards of Scott county, and brought here. Charlie Sloan, the owner of the ferry boat ' which we have in cur possession, came back from the rebel camp and fell into the clutches of Capt. Richards. Sloan is a commissioned officer in the rebel army. There has been some precious time thrown away in the fool ish passtime of *' swearing in ” a few seces sionists. I don’t know whether that practice Is to he continued ad infinitum, or not, but I hope not. They disregard the oath; but why speak of that? ’Tis perfectly natural and con sistent that they should. AH boats are compelled to call and pay their respects to our little Colonel. One boat, the Jacob Musulman, received a shot between wind and water, yesterday, before she saw lit to lay to. I think the cross country trans portation from this point to the rebels has now come to an end. The health of the camp is good; there is but very few on the sick list. The wounded man of Company D, who was shot through the head at Camp Pope, is on his feet again slid in good condition; he arrived here last night; the other wounded man is still at Al ten, improving. [Thirty of the Champaign hoys, under Lieut. Bradley, have been scout? irg since Friday morning; they have found nothing of importance, except a secession bfcnk President, who is bere in camp a pris oner. The scouts are camped some ten miles out to-night. They are so much fatigued that they cannot return to camp until to morrow. It is not likely that they will be able to report news of any great importance. The camp is rife with all manner of absurd and contradic tory rumors. Incidents occurring right here in esmp are so differently reported here that one h&rdly knows whether to believe anything cr not. I am well assured of the truth of what I have written. The boys are much elated •with the good news from Virginia. Colonel March is the lion of this neighborhood. The people here have imbibed the idea that they have among them the best regiment there is in the northwest. One thing is certain—the Illinois 20th is ready for any service that is required, and I have no doubt they will per form it to their own credit and the honor of the Prairie State and the nation. The boy a are all in good spirits and anxious to get a eight of a rebel camp there le oat wcet of here. The loved ones are always kindly remembered. The “ Tigers” have em balmed the v “ girls of old Champaign” In gong, and their praise is sung daily and night ly in the first division. We are a set ot musi cal boys. A portion of the Princeton Brass Band, under Ed. Hollis, forms the nucleus of a good nglmentalband.

There have been somelooo or 1300 cords of wood, belonging to the Railroad, burned along the line from Palmyra, to Mon roe—2o rnllea. The track also along this whole distance was more or less torn up. Monroe, the place where the “battle of Mon roe” was fought, and where “Fortress Mon roe” as the " Seminary” is now called, is loca ted, seems to have suffered more from the reb els. Here axe two ears overturned which were thrown from the track on the 10th last, the cay of the battle, by removing the rails. They were full of soldiers at the time, but fortunately no one was seriously injured. On that day, tb«y also burned eight passenger carp, seven box cars, and the station house. Monroe is situated near the centre of a beau tiful prairie, with timber at the nearest point, at the distance of %of a mile, where the “Sescshers” located their cannon when they invested the . Seminary. The facts cf this “battle” are these: After the rebels burned the station house, cars, &c., two companies of the Sixteenth Illinois Regiment under Cob Smith—two companies of the 2d lowa Regiment, and one company of the Hannibal Heme Guards, came into Monroe ard took poeeeesioh of the Seminary. Here they were surrounded by the Confederates, to fhe number, “all told” fighting men and three who came to see the fight, of 1,000 or I £OO, pertsra. They fired on the Udtoa forces Lrcm their cannon 37 shots, only three of which tcoi effect or the hn’ldlcg. Fire Etote were fired by the Union 0 pound cannon •—♦he forces not being within musket shot of each other. Possibly one or two of the rebels might have bsen wounded or killed.

The bridge over Charidon River is guarded by two companies of tbe 3d lowa Regiment. An attempt was made last week to bum this bridge It bad been guarded during the night bp fourteen men, but while they were at breakfast two men came out of their hiding place, found tar on the bridge, and set the fire. The alarm was given, and the men rushed out, fired on the scamps, killed one cu the spot, supposed to be guilty, for he 11 had his hands in’’ the tar. At Burley Creek a Howe truss bridge was burned, is now repaired, and guarded by one company of lowa Sd. Muscle Fork Is guarded by one company of the 16th Rtgiment, Captain Johnson. At Bncklin is a company of Home Guards. Here I noticed the sign “Union House.” but was told it was kept by a Secessionist. St. Cathe rine has a company of Home Guards. This brings me up to this place—Brook field. Tbe guards have been called In since I commenced writing, and report scouts of the rebels lurking in the woods near the bridge I spoke of. I think I shall go on from here— tnronga to St. Joseph-and will report from there, or as soon as-I return. O, P. H. CAIRO COBBEBPOHDBHCB. rFrom an Occasional Correspondent.] Caieo, July 18 h, 1861. Major Eaton, the- paymaster, has at length arrived, with about half enough money to pay off the troops. This is some comfort and gives assurance that we’ll all get half pay or half of ns'will get lull pay as soon as the pay rolls are all made out. This will create joy when we get sight of the money, but not until then, for we've been the subject of “hope deferred” so often that we’ve learned to keep hope in abeyance until we, at least, are w out of the woods.” Cairo will rejoice with ex ceeding great joy, when the specie begins to how into her channel of exchanges, for they are, and have been for some time, suffering a great drouth both of rain and money. The near approach of pay-day creates quite a flut ter in the does of what may be denominated “ army vultures.” Already they are even hov eling round, in clean linen coats, with sharp visages, “seeking whom they may devour.” The morale of the Brigade will be immensely improved by the paying off process, and be tween that and the fifteen days’ furlough, the organization will be saved. If a majority of each regiment remains, it will be much easier to bring the raw recruits into a proper state of discipline, and consequently will be pre pared for an earlier advance. Prom the ad vices we get from below, it appears that a por tion of Gen. Pillow's late command Is moving over into Southern Missouri to support the late Governor of Missouri, C. Fox Jackson, • who is striving so desperately to hitch the State on to the so-called Southern Confedera cy.” From the officers of the u Cicy of Al ton,” who came down to day, we learn that there was a deal of hard lighting near St. Charles, Mo., on yesterday, and that all the regiments at Alton had gone up there. They said that some of oar men had been captured by the State troops under Gen. Harris of Mon roe station notoriety. A rumor of some dis aster to our arms reaches us almost every night, but generally the next night, or the second at farthest, turns it into a disaster to the secessionists, or at most a drawn game. Our boys learn with mingled envy and de light that the 4ih Missouri, under the lead of Lieut. Col. Hammer, are already in the field and marching on to the scene of conflict. I can well imagine the stem joy of these hardy men at prospect of meeting; in early conflict the foes of our liberties and our flag. They Lave all sworn to keep tbe constitution, and they have no greater joy, than to-flght those who have undertaken o destroy it. There is some reason to believe that secessionism is stronger in Missouri than we have imagined, and it seems just now to be making a desper ate effort to gain control of the State. There can be no doubt as to the result; the loyal citi ztr e of Missouri aided by their brethren in Illinois and lowa, will inevitably “ crush out” this “ monster of hideous mien” and redeem their State so thoroughly from the powers of political darkness that the line of the serpent shall trail over their fair heritage no more for ever. I have paid some two or three visits to tbe 23d Illinois, over on Bird’s Point. The regi ment is in remarkably fine health, only one ot tic tents Cor tbe *ick being in requisition and that not. half lull. Hospital tents are a new feature here, and highly approved by Dr. Sim, the medical director. The one that Dr. Coats worth has in use is very suitable, being Urge, high, and well ventilated, and every lime I was in it was very comfortable Indeed. The Chap lain, Rev. T. F. Qantz, is a member of the Southern Illinois Conference, a perfect gentle man, and one of the best preachers iu the State. The 22d is, indeed lortunate iu its chaplain, and judging from the limited num ber of tick, in its surgeon too. The civil process of conducting the war still goes on, until the bjys say that ills decidedly the most civil war that ever was. Two men and one woman were arrested some days si nee, at the instance of the reporter of the New York and on searching them, found on the woman a letter that proved that she was as /rail as fair, and on the men were found numerous letters from officers in the rebel army, addressing Ibcmas “DearColonel,”and detailing the plan for the attack on ■— t so i as to prove their complicity with the traitors beyond the possibility of a doubt; and yet, in deference to tbe fairness or frailty of tucir companion, or to the exceeding civility of the war, I know not which, the letters found on them were detained, but they were permitted togo on their way rejoicing. The White County Cavalry, Capt. O. Bur iell, ate over on the Point, drilling and pa tiently awaiting the arrival of their clothing and aims. They are a fine body of men, and when equipped and disciplined, will do good service. Captain Barrel! gave me a fact that must be published on the principle of giving “ the devil his due.” A prominent citizen of Ccrmi, who bed followed E. B. Webb from the Whig to the Democratic party in ’36, aid of late has talked secession quite freely, got drunk at the time of parting with the compa ny, and in the mellowness of the hour began to make speeches for the Union, and has continued to do so ever since. Cairo whisky envelopes the virus of secession which sobriety conceals, but as it has made one convert to loyalty, while making thou sands to treason, it ought to be duly enlisted. It must have been good liquor, for ‘burst-head’ would certainly have produced a contrary effect. The Germans of Hamburg, some thirty miles above here, in Mo., have org-mizidjand armed aa a Home Guard, and are a perfect terror to secessionists. The other day a Union man was miesimr, and the Home Guard arrested some cozehsecesslonists and gave out that if the Union man was not forthcoming speedily, they would haug ten secessionists, and in a short time the Union man was permitted to come to his home again. A report came here the other day that at Thebes, above here, the sheriff would not suffer the stars and stripes to be hoisted over the court house, and Colonel Paine with Company A, 9th Regiment, went up there, but the first thing that greeted their ey ts was the stars and stripes floating proudly to the breeze. A company of scouts, some half dozen strong and well armed, have been seen divers times on- the Kentucky shore lately, and Col. Dougherty spoke ol asking leave to take them. The woods are said to be full of runaway negroes over in Missouri, and I think that nothing better could be done than to let them come into camp and dig the entrenchment, build the breast-works and make thsmsclves useful generally, so that our men could con fine themselves to drilling and preparing for action. ' A part of Capt. Smith s Artillery Company left here for the Missouri River, on the City of Alton, this evening The land at Bird’s Points is still seceding, and they are now moving the St. George’s Hotel, to keep it from following suit Since I last wrote there have been deaths in the Bth,9lh and 13th, one each, and one of Schnttners men, on the boat during their trip to the Jefferson Barracks. S. H. E. Letter from a Stnree* BUXeman* The following interesting letter is from private Bce3y,of the Stnrges Rifles, to his wife, residing at No. 173 State street, which she has kindly consented to give to the public. It was not intended for publication, but it gives such a lull, graphic and truthful account of the progress of our army and the incidents of the camp, that it .will be read with great in tercet and satisfaction. Bbvzult, Va., Jclj 14. We are is camp twelve miles bejoad here. I came back here in the night with Major Den ison, as guard. He is here to take charge of the prisoners. We have about W0 of them, besides 200 that w e planted on the top of Rich Mountain. We have completely rout ed the scoundrels in this part of the State prtt’y effectually. We were in camp at Roaring Creek, in sight of ttefr fortifica tions. The battle was fought by one Ohio Regiment and one Indiana Regiment, led on fcj Col. .Lander, one of Gen. McClellan's staff It was a bloody batUe. They have cot found all the killed yet. There were but eighteen cf our men killed, and they have now found very near two hundred'of the rebels dead, and many wounded. There were eighteen hun dred of them In the battle, and the fight lasted forty-fire minutes, when they. broke fer the mountains, leaving everythirgjofit as '•* «.a— tents, wegons, horses, mule» r cannon, camo <Tblpsge JinlionuE and provisions* We picked upmany laughable idles, among them huge dirkanud knives; bat thebest sight I eawwas the beeps qf the devils as they- lay on the ground, vitfi rifle ball holes through their heeds, I saw ‘-▼'ertj-tight in one hole, ready to be covered •:?; they were put to Am* and It was ' the largest grave I ever saw. They were ae cictui behind rocks and trees, and merely. cluck ttefr heads but to shoot; but as £ul «V they shewed ahead, arm or I*r, toey werecuti down. The prisoners toy thet hod no idea Mat the .

Captain Bir ger’s Dragoons' went out and got them. Among them is one camp of college boys, and the Principal is their Captain. They are a sorry looking lot of hoys, and they will oil be taken to Cincinnati. Oar train is In chase of a portion of their *rmy that is retreating to wards Staunton, which is on the road to Rich mond. We reached the foot of the Cheat Mountains last mght, at HuttonvQle, and are there in camp. Igo back to-day. My car* ilope is an ambulance. I had a good square breakfast this morning at a house; could not have got It, bad I not been whh the Major, who is a eon of Gov.-Dennison of Ohio. Bat do net foink wc do not have enough to eat. I have received your letter dated July 4th. I see by that, that you concluded we had not enough to eat That is not so. We have good coffee, plenty of sugar, rice and pork, but no milk nor butter, or other such fixings; hut for all that, we live “ tiptop.” Soak a hard cracker in water, then fry it io pyrkfat, and eat it with » cup cf-ccffee, - If'that lanot high liviug. then I don’t know. We also fresh beef every few days. We took thirty fine beef cattle yesterday, at Huttonsville, that the rebels were obliged to leave in their fl’gbt. You need not be alarmed for f«ar we Bhftll- not live well' aud bxvc good - fere. Our Captain h a a ti.n secession horse, and so have most of th~ ••aj* tiks. Ifyctr could see ns when the mail sencer comes into camp—see the rush to who has a letter, and see the countenance a* their names are called and the letters, or even papers, are banded overl You say you would send me papers if yon thought we were in want of reacting matter. At Buckhanuon, one of our beys received two Chicago papers, the first we’tad seen, and we all took turns In reading them. Last night, just before I left camp, the messenger came in and I got two papers from Hank. For God’s sake, send me papers. It is almost impossible for mo | to get * time to write, as we are oa tie march almost every day, and wheax we camp, then it is pitch font, moke a fire, bring water, eat supper, (after getiiug it) roll •call, at nine, taps, and all lights out at nail-past nine, and then in the night we may not know ten moments before we nave orders to strike tents. Who would not he a soldier* We had all of us to leave onr extra baggage at Clarks* burgh. Our knapsacks are put in the wagons, and all we have to carry is our rifle, cartridge* box, haversack and canteen. Our march is from eight to eighteen miles a day. I keep a daily diary of transactions, which will be of interest .when. I get home. If we go through to Richmond, as we no doubt shall, it will make us about four hundred miles march. 1 am now surrounded by prisoners, (officer:) and everything is hurly-burly, and our driver is about ready to start back. While the battle was going on,wc could hear the roar of musketry and cannon- CoL Lander had his horse shot, and his pants badly torn. The captain of the rebel battery, where the charge was making, had all his men shot down, and be loaded the cannon twice, and fired it himself, and as he was loading it the third time, he was shot down. They fought nobly, but it was no use. When our men came over the hill in sight of them, Col. Lander said, “ Soys, there they are, pour it into them!" and when they gave the order to u cAaiye,” they went with a “ rush!” The captains could not bold them in any kind of order! Perhaps yon do not know who Col. Lender is. He is of Rocky Mountain, Potter-Pryor, grizzly bear notoriety. He is a fine looking man, and knows no f.ar. I cannot write any more. Good bye. There is Just now a great rush in the bouse to see the secession Colonel. We have got his name. It is Pickram or JRgram. I shan’t take the trouble to go up stairs to see him. Send me papers and write often, as we know nothing of what is going ou, except in Western Virginia. Southern Comments on tbe Presi dent’s Hlesssse. The President’s message is assailed by the New Orleans Bulletin of July Bth in the most furious and abusive language, seemingly, which it could command. We copy the arti cle, to show cur readers to what a pitch of perfection Southern editors have carried the art of vituperation. It is easy to see that a feeling cf disappointment and apprehension, caused by the tone of the message, lies at the foundation of the Bulletin's remarks: The Usurper’s Message.— Assuming that the spirit of the Usurper’s message to the old Congress of theNortn has been correctly In terpreted by the telegraph, we confess that we feel little disposition to devote to it any lengthened remarks. The public mind of the South had been pretty well prepared, by the outgivings oi the Jacobin press, for the loath some mass of falsehood, vindictiveness and hjpociisy with which the old perjurer has in sulted the common intelligence and civiliza tion of the age. We do not care to follow the message through its tortuous windings, and expose its deceitful assumptions, its Jesuitical dodges and pretenses, its boastful vapoiings, its brut ish tone, and its heathen indifference to the agonies of the people of the North, and the general stupidity, bloodthirstiness and insan ity which it exhibits. All these are apparent, and must strike the minds of enlightened men the world over with amazement, disgust and horror. It is said that this creature Lincoln, this vulgar savage who seems to be making des perate f ffon e to imitate the Neros and C Jig mas of old, and who appears to be desirous of witnessing the general conflagration of the whole country formerly known as the United States, now composed of the Confederate States and tbe Lincoln Empire, takes opiates daiiy which keep him in a state of stupor, induced originally to make him sleep, 1 and kept up for some similar purpose. Wo know not the truth of these averments, but it seems to us that bis message gives them plau sibility. If this be so, the idea of a Paris pa f>er that he is actually in a state of mental hal udnation or lunacy may prove to be the lit eral tact. But if he is mad there is method in his madness, too ranch to relieve him from beating the just responsibility ofhis acts ft-r which history and posterity will assuredly hold him to a rigid account. Throughout the South the message will be read with disgust and Indignation. Hit were made to intimi date her people by a greet display of resources on paper, to be hereafter —perhaps—available, it will most signally fail. On the contrary, it will rouse to a still higher pitch the opposition to the despotic Government at Washington, and intensify the determination throughout the Confederate States never to yield to its in famous usurpations and Draconian cruelties. Save Ale from My Friends, The N. Y. Herald has volunteered to assist the N. Y. World in defending and whitewash ing the peculations and robberies committed on the War Department by contractors, agents, and speculators. But Secretary Cam. cron, after reading the defence which Old Ben nett puts in for him, will have good reason to exclaim; “Save mo from my friends.” The Herald pleads guilty for the Secretary, but sets up as mitigating circumstances the services which it claims be has performed for the country. Here is a specimen of its de fence: The N. Y. Tribune , Times, and that class of Journals are likewise especially bitter upon Secretary Cameron for countenancing these ccnupt operations, and are overhauling some ancient deeds of the Secretary of War, that transpired long ago in Pennsylvania, to show that he is not the man to be kept at the heid of the Department, Now all this may do very well to talk and write about; but the public must bear in mird that nature never furnished a strong arti cle in apuresiaie, but that it isaheayssurround ed by offensive mattery which must be removed to obtain the real essence. If you want, for instance, prussic acid, it becomes necessary to go through certain chemical operations before it can be obtained; mid in like manner can be traced all operations of nature. IE we have a live, energetic and prompt public officer, we must expect him to hai'e unpleasant eurrotmd ingsy and parties connected Kith him engaged more or (ess in peculation. But what matters it in the end, if you place a public servant at the . head of a department, where a high order oi practical business talent, great energy and ac tivity are essential to the public welfare, that, in having the capacity to meet the public de mand. as a few ofthoee that are found surround ing him who add largely to their earthly for tunes by virtue of the great activity and dispatch of business ? Ii is better in times like this that the different branches of the government are administered by men of the highest order of business qualification, even though accompa nied with some of the most barefaced and un scrupulous speculations that ever disgraced an administration, than to have perfect tran quility and imbecility. Give us an energetic officer though his very activity furnishes the army worm an opportu nity to rob the government, rather than imbe cility. This is the best and the only excuse that we have to offer for the corruptions and peculations that have turned up by virtue of the energetic administration of the War De partment! Beport of tli e Board of Visitors at the West Point military Academy* The board of visiters at the West Point Academy made an able report to the Secreta ry of War, under date of Jane 31st, and their suggestions and criticisms are at this time more than ever before important The board was composed of Charles Davies of N. T., chairman; Herman Haupt of Hass., Sec* retary; and James 8. Alban, Asahel Bush, James G. Blaine, James Clark, David Cooper, Alexander Cummings, David Davis and John Woodruff. They say that tte average proficiency of the cadets was fair, hut while some exhibited a high degree of intellectual culture others fell below the standard which the coun try expects and should require ia the institution. The evils arising from this diversity of talent they propose shall he ia & measure corrected by altering somewhat the mode of appointment of Cadets, and hy making the course of instruction, as well as the Board of Instruction, mere perma nent, Four years is mere economical, and even better than alonger term; andthsßoard propose that the course shall be shortened to that time, Instead of being run into five or six years, as now, for the benefit of inferior intellects. They condemn the present mole of appointment, which tag in too macy cases worked eerioca irj ary to the Institution. In plane of if, they propose, that when a vacancy occurs the member of Con* .grefs for that district shall nominate tea <r •more from among the more suitable applic into a: d that one of these shall be chosen by a beard of examiners, having an eye more to natural talccta, physical vigor and moral char acter than to any previous intellectual attain* mecte. Such a system, which has thehkh. esnetioa of European precedent In the com-; petition for appolLtmeuts,.&sd which would proleb’y et cure the beet applicant in an aver age cf tw? n’y. wotld greatly elevate the stand* : cf li-ltUectTial attain rzunv* the re* jevon, a* at prreoi.t, er nearly two-thirds of wl who ti© app loud bna©c*::«ary, aedrer mcvv> fr;m the Military AcaivHsy the hostility winch ha* resulted from the fact that so Urge a proportion must annually be found defl- AmOßg numerous suggestionsi mate tlon to tLe studies, is one that the graduating class' have practical Instruction, each year, in the use of telegraph instruments; also, that they have practical, as well aa theoreti cal, instruction in field fortifications and works of temporary defence. Ihe Board found the discipline of the school at low ebb, and there was even an instance of insubordination under their very eyes, by a portion of the graduating class who “bolted” from the ranks when required to perform an evolution which they did not like. For this, however, they find abundant explanation in the past action of the War Department itselfl Heretofore, cadets who had been recommend e 1 for discharge, by the Academic board, have been In almost every'ciae reinstated by order of the Secretary, until at last the authority of the masters has come to he treated with con tempt In everything. As if the number of re Instatements last year W're ro.suffluently injurious—when every recommendation of the teachers was disregarded—there have been, this year, six cadets re appointed out of eleven found “not pro9c r ent” One of these six had 253 demerits in six months; while 100 demerits arc the limit of law. Two other cadets, wholly unfit, were at; oiuted by the Secretary to go on with their 1 respective classes. Is It strange, the*, that e-.otta should defy and wholly disregard the authority of their superiors. Out of all the 1 ev, £3 on r-cord of cadets reinstated, not one be* thus far thown a redeeming quality in his pubrfoueut course. They therefore recom mend that the decisions of the Academic Board shall be final and unalterable hereafter, except where tley may voluntarily reverie their own acts. , , , As to the number In the school, it is recom mended that instead of 273, as at present 400 shall be the ; each Senator and Rep resentative to appoint one, and the President to fill up the remainder, including vacancies, by appointments at large. Retribution* [From the Cincinnati Commercial.] There was an instance of just retribution for treason at Rich Mountain, Hon. John Hughes of Beverly, a member ot the Virginia Secession Convention at Richmond, heard by some means that our troops were endeavoring to turn the flank of the He mounted a horse and sped up the hill rapidly, to convey the Information to CoL Fegram. When near the summit, he was snddenly bailed by pick ets. Supposing they were Federal pickets, he ciied cut “hold, I am a Northern man.” The next instant he fell Into the road a corpse, riddled by thirty balls. He had lied, and his own /rieiius, the rebels, whom he was striving to save, believing they were killing an enemy, put an end to his career. So may they all ptrifch—txc<pting those who die by the halter. The Faith Paaalnjrjrhrongh the Com* et’f Tall. The Loudon correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser says, (July 6:) “ The comet Is running away from ns at the rate of about two millions of miles per diem, but it is still a beautiful object, and according to a calculation of Mr. Hud, the astronomer, there is a probability that six days back the earth passed through its tail, at a distance of perhaps two-thirds of its length from the nu cleus.
