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-

dered him! But there is a class of hasty

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

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

to stand in the way of the popular will*
But the people are not a unit in the affirm

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.

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.

COrn Rxoimeht 111. Vol.— Camp Fkemont, I
Cap* GiBAimEAU, Mn., Sunday, July 14. 'Ol. 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

kindly remembered. The “ Tigers” have em
balmed the v “ girls of old Champaign” In

yesterday,‘intending to come out twelve miles
to Palmyra, the headquarters ofCol. Tnrchin,
hut meeting Mr. Crampfcon, formerly of Chi
cago, now of the H, & St. J. R. R., I accepted
his invitation to join him in a trip over the
road. We arrived here in the evening and
“ stoppe d over ” at one of the neatest, nicest
and most homc-like public houses to he
found anywhere. If you ever come this way,
co net fail to stop with5 ;1 mine host” Mr. Rob
inson. I rested with a feeling of perfect se
curity, as the town is under the protection of
Federal bayonets, one company of the Four
teenth Illinois Regiment, Col.Palmer having
stationed here, under the command of Capt.
Littlefield, of Jereeyville. Brookfield is an
important station, as the round-house, engines
and only turning table between HanoibaT and
St. Jotephsro here. The place has been un
der guard of troops for some two weeks.
Squads of “ rebel ” scouts were yesterday seen
prowling around, and night before last they
came near enough to be fired on.by Capt. Lit
tlefield’s pickets. The bridge over Yellow
Creek near here, is guarded by his pickets.
I will give a hasty sketch along the line of
the road and the present position of Federal
troops.
Fonr miles from Quincy, on the Q. & Pal
nrsra Railroad, Company E, CapLltiffin, of
the 19th Regiment, is stationed to gnard the
read, with the bridge over Fabias River,
Four miles from this*, at North River Bridge,
is Company C, Capt. Guthrie. These two
companies are under the command of Lieut
Col. Scott At Palmyra, twelve miles from
Quincy, the junction of the Q. & P. and the H.
& St Jo. Railroads, a place of 4000 or 5000 in
habitants, the stronghold of “secession” in
Northern Missouri, are Col Turchln’s head
quarters with three companies of his regiment.
Two companies are at Hannibal, under Major
Hording. Two companies at South River
Bridge, between Hannibal and Palmyra, and
one company, Co. D, Capt Colby, one mile
wtst of Palmyra. Capt. Colby reported the
capture of a leading secessionist the night be
fore, who was sent to Quincy yesterday morn-
ine.
From Palmyra are seen the tracks of the reb
el bounds. 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

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.

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—

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

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

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,

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. The weather on the occasion was very
fine, but without any exceptional features to
excite general remark.”
The late Major Wetthrop —We under
stand this brave young man, whose los* the
nation mourns, left an unfinished paper in
his portfolio, which he intended, when com
plete, as his third article in the Atlantic

Wm. Curtis has written ablographical sketch
of the young soldier, which vrtll appear in the

Curtis was a neighbor and friend of Major
Winthrop. Beside the two brilliant army
papers which were printed in tbe magazine,
Mr. Winthrop has written for the same peri

bowels. I employed the beat sail here and at Detroit,
with only tempo u.*y rcdeC and being mostly coahaed
to the room, and a good part of the time to the bed,
suffering intolerable pain. I often, la my despair,
wished it mitut be the Divine will that death should
pntanenc ij my suffering, and thought, of course
ii <*i I could not last long, but Providence, m July last,
directed rav attention to thy advertisement in the New
