MONDAY, AUGUST, 28, 188 L
the president.
■yfc observe a disposition in certain jour
nals—thoee especially that are supposed
jo be in the pay or favor of the Secretary
of War—to censure the President for his
imputed share ot the general and special
mismanagement of the War Department
So man in America is less justly liable to
blame on that account From the very
beginning of the troubles, he has been al
ways and earnestly in favor ot decisive
measures. He, more clearly than any
man about him, has comprehended th ‘ na
ture and magnitude of the rebellion; and
could he have been seconded by the advi
sers that he bad called to his aid, and (
wham food jaUcy forbade himthen to change,
the war would now have worn a different
aspect from what it does now. Bat, although i
President, he is not an autocrat He gov- j
ers, so far as he exercises any control over
public affairs, by law and precedent, and I
with the help of his Cabinet He is nei
ther omnipotent nor omnipresent At the
head of the nation, he uses others to cany
out what he directs; and if the want of
earnestness on the part of has subordinates
in the Cabinet, or want of youth and
ability among those to whom army affairs
are, beneath the Secretary t)f War, di
rectly intrusted, he is not to be too severely
blamed. We have reason to know that
the number of troops first called from the
States did not meet his views of the crisis,
but that military opinion, the most author
itative in the nation, was adverse to his
notions, and that, fearing to run counter to
the advice of veterans, he waived his own
judgment and modified his call to meet
the views of men of larger experience
and more military knowledge. And here
was the error—the fruitful mother of all
that has followed. “ Why did he not turn
out his advisers and .enforce his own
views f say the accusers. The answer is
plain: Mr. Lincoln was a new and un
tried man. The nation had not yet learned
to properly estimate his honesty and abil
ity. His principal military adviser com
manded the utmost confidence of all the
American people, and to have run counter
to his judgement, would have been a fault,
in the eyes of the world, greater than that
which was committed in being governed
by it—grievous as that proves' to have
been. And so of the portion of the Cabi
net that hoped, or pretended to hope, that
an accommodation might he effected and
the nation restored to peace without an
encounter of arms. The Cabinet was just
organized. It was supposed to command
the confidence of the country. To have
disturbed it by ejecting those who did not
comprehend the crisis, would have been a
fearful blow to tire faith of the people in
the necessity and justice of their cause.
The act would have been misinterpreted,
and the enemies of the country would not
have failed, at that critical moment, when
thousands were undecided what course to
pursue, to take advantage of and use it
with fearful effect. But we need not go be
hind the scenes to know what Mr. Lincoln’s
views are. His message to Congress, on
the 4th ot July, is decisive. That docu
ment, every word of which was written by
himself, every recommendation and argu
ment of which is Ms own, shows Ms
thorough comprehension of the deadly
Struggle in wMch the country is engaged.
The call for four hundred thousand men
and four hundred millions of money can
not he mistaken. He, at least, is in e tr
uest; and now, seconded by the law-mak
ing power which has put extraordinary
trusts into Ms hands, we shall soon cease
to best that he is backward in the work
that he is expected to do. Conviction of
Ms thorough uprightness, of the depth and
warmth of Ms patriotism and of Ms wil
lingness to do wlut the country asks for
the suppression of the rebellion, has sunk
deep into the popular mind; and now we
can hope that when a Cabinet Minister or
Commanding General does not meet the
requirements ©f Ms place, the President is
firmly enough grounded in popular esteem
to depose the one and send the other to
the rear.
Mr. Lincoln unquestionably Las points
cf character ih&t weaken his efficiency in
his high station, however admirable they
may be in private life; but they are trivial
in their -injurious effect when compared
with the strength that his virtues give to
the popular cause. Every man .knows
that he is honest and unselfish; that, what
ever may come, he will never appear in
the light of an usurper, Mid that the liber
ties of the people, in all their priceless
value, are safe in his hands. There is no
jealousy, no apprehension, no suspicion.
In revolutionary times the lack of these is
compensation for what we might hope the
President possessed. There are hardly a
dozen men in the Republic of whom the
same things could be so confidently and
truthfully said. As long as no man is
faultless, let us be content that in this hour
of peril, the ruler of the nation is one
whose faults are so few.
n&HKBS AT SffiIAGFIELD.
*We learn with the utmost satisfaction
that the multiplied duties oi our State of
ficers, in the military administration, are
bo systematized and prosecuted that Illi
nois may now claim to rank with the fore
most State in the Union for the efficiency
of her warlike appointments. That there
have been mistakes made heretofore—that
there has been an empty Treasury—that
civilians have been compelled to assume
functions for which they were unfitted by
education and habit, and which none but
civilians could be found to discharge
without drawing our competent military
men from the field where there presence
was necessary—is all true. And when, in
the confusion resulting from sudden war
and sudden mustering of troops under
these circumstances, errors have been com
mitted, the outcry has been all the loader
inasmuch as the soldiers were fresh from
their comfortable homes, and therefore ac
customed to better tilings. Four months
of hard labor and constant practice have
wrought their beneficent work, and now
the Adjutant General’s Department, the
Quartermaster General’s Department, the
Commissary General’s Department, and
the onerous and responsible duties of the
Governor, are administered with prompt
ness, vigor, and the most satisfactory re
sults. The Treasury too has been replen
ished by the act of the Federal Govern
ment refunding a portion of the meney
advanced by the State; and there will be
no more paying ot soldiers in depreciated
tcrip.
We leant also that it is the intention of I
the Governor to appoint a State agent to |
accompany each Illinois regiment •wherev
er it goes, to see personally to the comfort
of the men—acting on the principle that
the State is the parent of its soldiers wheth
er they are In the service of the Federal
Government or any other serried. X'his
plan, adopted by Wisconsin at the outset,
is a most judicious and healthful addition
not only te the efficiency of the troops, but
to the confidence of the soldiers in the pro
vision made for their care. In taking this
step, Gov. Tates expects that the Govern
ment at Washington wid assume the ad
ditional cost. If it does not, our Legisla
ture wHI be called upon to provide for it,
as they cannot fail to do. Only let hon
est, humane and competent persons be
appointed to perform the duties, and the
people wili say amen to the Governor’s
action.
Camp Butler is rapidly filling np with
troops, chiefly from the central and south
ern counties —those from the northern
counties having, for the most part, turned
into the various independent regiments,
eight or ten in number, which were ac
cepted by the War Department before the
Governor made his recent tender of seven
teen new State regiments. The companies
at Oamp Butler are being rapidly drilled,
uniformed, and tamed into regimental
organizations. The quartenaasttr’s de-
partznent is already providing winter
clothing for all the State troops, and pre
paring ammunition, in large quantities for
Gen. Fremont. Indeed we have every
reason to believe that whatever Is neces
sary and proper to be done is being done
radidly and well. It is no light matter to
send forty or fifty thousand men into the j
field in fighting trim, as Illinois has been
and is now doing. Borne mistakes have
been made, some misunderstandings have
occurred, others may happen. But we are
persuaded that Illinois is aow better served
in her military administration than one
half the States in the Union,
OPPOSING TUfi IAX-LIW.
There is no difference in principle, be
tween the Chicago Times and the secession
sheets which have been recently suppress
ed by the populace, on account of their dis
union proclivities. It is a little more care
ful in the choice of language by which it
gives aid and comfort to the rebels, but it
is not a whit less venomous. If the rebel
sympathizers in the North, could induce
the people to refuse to pay the taxes neces
sary for the support of the Government its
credit would be gone and, its ability to
borrow money destroyed. In no other
way c AT> these sheets lend so much assist-,
ance to the rebels as by assailing the finan
cial measures enacted by Congress, for the
maintenance of the National credit and
support of the military arm. la further
ance of a wide-spread conspiracy to dis
hearten the people and break down tho
Government, the Times gives place to such
stabs as this:
Oce of the eilliest forms of
played by the Western EepnWlcan P«»? » «J
ҤS to ol il i
Places undue boxdeaa upon tae Western States.
1b it unpatriotic for their representatives to so
Into the next Congteaa with a demand that the
ulx shall be equalised so that all sections shall
pay In just proportion to the support of the Gov
ernment ? •
The direct tax is levied as fairly as the
Constitution will permit. It is equalized
eo that all sections pay just in proportion
to their representation In Congress, as tiie
Constitution prescribes. The act is al
most word for word the same as the acts
drawn by men who helped to frame the
Constitution, and under which the country
twice paid direct taxes to the Government,
If it be objected, that the act only taxes
real-estate, the answer is, that is in accor
dance with precedent; and that the law]
permits the State governments to assume
the collection of the lax, and allows them
a discount of fifteen per cent, for their
trouble,and a further deduction of whatever
sums the General may owe the State Gov-~
I elements. Illinois’s quota, if raised by her
Stale machinery, will only be $975,600, or
sixty cents per inhabitant None but se
cessionists at heart will grumble at paying
this trifle for the support of the best Gov
ernment on earth. The State authorities
can lay this tax on all sorts of property—
personal as well as real. No “undue bur
dens are levied upon the Western States,”
in the way of direct taxes, that Congress
can M equalize,” as the Constitution
fixes tte apportionment and lays it on
the States per capita. But on
the income tax and the tariff,
the East will contribute much more to
the support of the Government than the
West, in proportion to population. The
Times could employ its space to better pur
pose than in opposieg the financial meas
ures enacted by Congress, for the public
defense. Its torylsm sticks out rather con
spicuously.
TALK Wim A CORRESPONDENT.
"We are in receipt of the following:
Editobs Tbtbuxe I read jour leading article
in this morning’s paper entitled “ The Root of
the Evil;” and though I agree with every word
there written, I submit that prudence requites
that the sentiments therein expressed should not
be proclaimed. We are co-operating with mem
bers of the late Democratic party who are not In
doctrtmated in the true faith, and at this crisis we
should avoid whatever may prove to them a cause
of offence. Is not my view of the case reason
able ? J.
We answer—No I Tiie trouble by which
the country is beset, the dangers which
threaten it are due to the want of fidelity
on the part of the people of the North in
not calling things by their right names.
We have been so corrupted and debauched
by this crime of Human Slavery,that a new
vocabulary is needed to express the cur
rent political ideas. Nothing serves a bad
purpose so well as to call it by a mild and
inoffensive name; hence when the baying
and selling of men is named a u domestic
institution,” it loses half its horror. Work
ing black men and parti-colored men a
lile time without pay, selling their chil
dren, whipping their wives with a lash,
when called 14 Christianization of the Afri
can race,” are practices which impel mis
sionary effort rather than excite shame.
The violence and bloodshed which Slav
ery provokes, and the imperious and dic
tatorial spirit which it engenders, when
dubbed “chivalry,” become excusable if
not worthy of imitation. Amendmentsof
the Federal Constitution by the Supreme
Court, to the end that man-whipping may
be extended to Territories now free, when
known as “Asserting the doctrine of State
Rights,” is an attractive, some say a patri
otic, thing. And so on through the whole
catalogue of offences against God and man
which Human Slavery involves—names
are omnipotent Does our correspondent
suppose that if robbery had been invaria
bly called robbery; if murder had been
branded as murder, and treason as the
highest of crimes, the Northern people,
who axe after all mainly to be blamed
for the stains that Slavery occupies in the
body politic, could have been seduced
into becoming its instruments —the abet
tors of despotism, the partners of anarchy ?
No; let us not fell into the error from which
wc have been just emancipated. At least
let us be honest in the use of language—
let events shape themselves as they will.
Flax Cotton.
A meeting of the citizens of Lockport, N.
T., has been held to organize a company for
the manufac’.ure of Flax Cotton. It was at
tended by Ex Governor Hunt and Hon. S. B.
Boggles, the latter of whom says the Lock
port Journal “ made some interesting state
ments of the merits of the invention, the
“simplicity and certainty of the scientific
u principle on which it Is based, and Its great
“value at the present crisis, in cheaply ex
“trading from flax a fibre capable of being
w substituted for cotton, at least to a cansld- j
“ erafcle extent. The company who con- 1
“ trolled this {most important invention had
“ the whole United States for their field of ac
« tion, but, after careful inquiry, had selected
“ Lockport for their first and principal estab
“ lament, as enjoying convenient access at
« once to the productive fiaz regions of the
“ interior and to the centres of manufacturing
“Industry on the sea board; possessing, too,
“ in its own great hydraulic power, the means
“of manufacturing the fibre to any desired
“ amount.
« He dwelt earnestly on the importance of
« developing this new branch, of indnstry,not
“ only in increasing the trade and revenue of
“ onr canals and opening new sources of agri
“ cultural wealth, but its far higher influence
“In securing to the Northern States and to
“ Europe comparative independence from
“ * cotton domination,' with which the world
“ haa been threatened.
“ Among the statistical views which he pre
-11 sented was the fact that the price of the flax
“fibre, thus produced and ready for use,
“ wonld fall far short of the present price of
“ cotton, probably not exceeding eight, and
“ certainly within ten cents per pound.”
No one of the speakers stated the process
by which the 1 fibre is to be prepared, nor do
we learn whether it is new or one of the half*
dozen patents that have been for a year or
more before the public. The matter is one of
considerable moment to the people of this
city, because whatever the method #f manu
facture, the raw material must be drawn from
the West; and this should be the point In
which it is prepared for the spinners. As our
readers know, we have great faith in the ulti*
mate success of Flax as a cheap rival of King
Cotton. Bence we are anxious that Chicago
should be among the first to avail itself of
the inducements to capital and enterprise
which the success of experiments already
made, clearly hold out. The subject u
worthy of au inquiry; and any gentlez&SQ of
Ibis city who has an Intelligent friend in liotfr
port would do well to get ?he Infoimitioo
which the /eternal tails to supply.

The author of these articles is delighted to
see that the editors of the Tbibuhs occasion'
ally disagree with him in reference to the pro
posed amendments to our Constitution. Their
dissent give* rise to discussion.
They differ with me as to the age of Sena'
tore and Representatives. Tnsy, ho woven
assign no season except a general one, for
their conclusion. Besides this, they misun
derstand my meaning. I did not advance tke
doctrine that a man less than thirty was not a
fit representative of the people, nor did I con
tend that no one was qualified for the office
of Senator until he reached the age of forty •,
hnt by Implication I did Insist, and now re
peat, that the idea of maximum and minimum
ogee embodied in a Constitution is a force.
Some below the minimum range of years may
be equally qualified as those beyond the maxi
mum. And each class may be equally unfit
for legislative duty.
My design was to show the utter fallacy of
inserting is the Constitution a clause fixing
the minority and majority ot Senators and
Representatives. My own opinion is that this
matter of age should be determined at Ore
polls by the voters. But If there Is a contra
riety of opinion upon this question, and it la
deemed advisable that there should be an. age
fixed as a qualification for Representatives and
Senators, the Constitution should fix the age
or a Representative at thirty and of a Senator
at forty years. As stated in my communica
tions numbered one and two, discussions were
and are invited. Let us proceed in peace and
harmony. Illinois.

THB SOUTHERN REBELLION AND THE WAR
FOE THE UNION —A History of ihe rise and
Pioereßs of the Rebellion, with & consecutive
nsiative of events, etc. Published in weekly
numbers by James D Torrey, New York.
The success of Frank Moore’s BebMon
Record, published by Putnam, has brought a
rival into the field, the first number of which
has just been issued as above. Like Mr.
Moore’s, it is merely a diary of passing events,
easily to be made up from the fl'es of news
papers, and chiefily valuable to the enthusiast
in such matters. The first number gives the
record from November 6th ts December 27th,
■with a preliminary chapter on the history of
this and previous conspiracies. All this infor
mation Is valuable enough. And yet, if either
of these publishers will give us a hand-hook
of army and navy statistics—which may soon
be made up from official sources, and nearly
complete—giving the militasy organization of
the Federal Government and of the several
States, the navy list as recently enlarged, with
brief mention of out officers, and such other
facts as may readily suggest themselves in
connection with an enterprise like this—they
will have supplied a want felt by readers as
well as by editors. All this information, also,
is published in the daily press, but is rarely
brought together in a form to be of service.
Army Bmtionn—Tlio Increase,
The army rations, as increased by the late
Congress, are stated at length by the Assistant
Commissary General of Subsistence, in the
'Washington papers, thus:
% pound of pork or bacon, or 1)4 pound of
fresh er salt beef;
22 ounces of bread or dour, or 1 pound of pilot
bread;
8 quarts of beans,. 10 pounds of rice or]
hominy, and 1 pound of potatoes three Hi
times a week, or a substitute therefor;
10 pounds of coffcc; g
15 pounds of sugar ; V #
4 quarts of vinegar; _ S'
IK pounds of adamantine caudles; 3’
4 pounds of soap, and g
2 quarts of salt. J •
Extra issues of molasses are occasionally
made.
This ration, if cared for, and properly cook
ed, is more than can be eaten; aud this ration
the Government is -ready to furnish.
The method of procuring it for the regi
ments is simple: Each captain of a company
makes to his colonel a return, stating the
number of men m his company and the num
ber of days drawn for, signed by kirn. These
company ret unis arc consolidated by the reg
imental quarteimaster, at-d signed oy the col
otel. This return is an order oa the depot or
brigade commissary for that quantity of
stores ; and it Is the duty of the regimental
qusi term aster to see that he receives the full
amount, and that It is aH of good quality.
When the stores reach the regiment, it is
the duty of each captain to see that his com
pany receive their due, as drawn for by him on
his return, and that the quality is good.
If the regimental quartermaster and cap
tains attend to their duty, the men must re
ctive their full allowance as set lonh in the
ration above; and not an article but of good
quality.
The Government has on hand ample sup
plies of the very best quality, and is desirous
of doing full justice to the volunteers. If the
volunteers donot receive it, the fault is that
of their own officers.
J. P. Tatl/Os, A. C. G. Sub.
The increase secured by Col. Baker, U in al
low arcs of bread (23 ounces being now given,
instead of 18 as before), Mid in addition veg
etables and occasional supplies of molasses.
As the ration now stands, it is fall enough to
satisfy the sharpest appetite. By proper cook*
irg and economy, each company in the ser
vice may, out of its surplus food, secure a
handsome sum for luxuries that the Govern
ment does not famish.
Massachusetts Regimental Appoint
ments.—The Boston Herald having accused
Gov. Andrew of strong political partiality
in hi* military appointments, the Boston
Journal gives the names and politics of the
Colonels of the different Regiments, by which
it appears they are politically divided as fel
lows : Republicans, 5; Democrats, 5; Bell
and Everett, 4; neutral, 1. Gov. Anprew al
£• offered Colonelcies to Joseph Hooker,
Douglas Democrat, since appointed a Briga
dier General; to Isaac L Stevens, Chairman
of the Breckinridge Congressional Committee
during the recent Presidential campaign; and
to Frederick W. Lander, since appointed a
Brigadier General, and also a Democrat—all
of these gentlemen being natives of Massa
chusetts, and Messrs. Hooker and Stevens be
ing graduates of West Point, and having at
tained high distinction and rank in past years
in the regular army service.
The pert regulations in New York bar
her arc now so strict that a pleasure party
which had proposed an afternoon sail outside,
in one of the Harlem river boats, was fired at
*y forts Lafayette and Hamilton, ordered
back by the revenue cutter to get a “ permit
and again assaying to go out, the party was
turned back altogether because there was a
defect in the papers. A Harlem yacht, as
another instance, was obliged to lay to all one
night under the guns of Port Schuyler. The
men of Harlem are quite wratby.
|g?“Another of Mr. Russell’s items, for ef
fect in England, was one to the effect that the
funds of the Smithsonian Institute, for “the
diffusion of knowledge,” had been squandered
and pretty generally “diffused” itself. A lit
tle enquiry would have set him right. The
fault is that however bad may have been some
of the investments of the fond, the General
Government many years slice assumed all
contingent losses, and has regularly made up
the sis per cent. income of the whole.
Important Decision.— lt has been decided
by the military authority at Washington, that
volunteers discharged within three months
after entering the service, for a disability
which existed at the time of their enlistment,
will receive neither pay nor allowance, except
subsistence and transportation to their homes.
Minors, also, who may be discharged either
by the civil authority or upon the personal
application of parent* or friends, will be dis
charged without pay or allowance.
The Poor op Memphis.— The Memphis
Avalanche of the 16th says that the poor of
that city are dally on the increase. The sum
donated to the wires and children of the
volunteers hy the County Court is mo longer
paid; the amount haring heen so much larger
than was anticipated, emptied the treasury.
The result is that those soldiers who enlisted,
relying upon securing the amount appropri*
ated, now find their wires and children in a
suffering condition.
More Arms foe Fremont. —The Indiana?*

Tlie New Treasury Notes*
[From the 2?. Y. Herald, 22d.]
It is dow pretty certain that the 7 3-10 Trea
sury cotes will have a sheet of five coupons
attached, the sixth interest payment being;
made when the note itself is surrendered*
This will be a great convenience to holders,
and will facilitate the sale of the notes a. road.
The notes will not be ready for a few days;
but the Sub-Treasurer is receiving payments
frcm parties who intend to become holders.
It may be as well to mention that all the first
issue of 150,000,000 will date on the 19th of
August, when the first installment was paid
into the Sub-Treasury by the banks; parties j
who buy from the Sub-Treasurer will there- i
foie pay, in addition to the par amount of the 1
note or motes, whatever interest may have ac
crued between the 19th of August and tue
date of their purchase. The indications are
that there will be quite an active demand for
these notes among the public. People in
moderate circumstances are already tendering
money to tbe Sub-Treasurer in all kinds of
odd amounts from #5.000 to SSO; and when it
ib well understood that every man who has
SSO idle can make them earn a cent a day by
buying a Treasury note, the applications will
be still more numerous. The following para
graph from the stock circular of Messrs. Sam
uel Balltit & Co., gives some idea of the
amount of money winch is available for the
support of the government:
The ability of the basks to take the $50,000,090
is ample, but they will probably be aided, to a
considerable extent, by the banks of all tbe loyal
States. The capital of the banks of tbe three
cities is $120,0C0.000-of all tbe loyal States $329,-
OcO.COO. The banking capital ol New .England,
outside of the city of Boston, is $35,449,071, or
very nearly twice aa great as that of its metroplis.
The deposits in the banks of discount in the loyal
States are $207,888,618 The deposits in the sav
ings banks are nearly as large—those In the State
of New York being $67,450,397: of Massachusetts,
$45,054,684; of Rhode bland, $7.7*5.771; Connec
ticut, $20,161, 942-making an aggregate for the
four S* axes of $141,318,110. The deposits in all
the savings banks In the loyal States probably
equal nearly $200,000 *OO. and in the banks of dis
count and deposit folly $400,000,000 This vast
tom is only a email proportion of the available
capital of the country, but it shows how ample
ue the means of our people for the vigorous pros
ecution of the war.
It is thus evident that, as soon as the public
me thoroughly informed with regard to the
nature of the loan and the high interest it of
fers, the government will be' offered all the
money it needs. There is no investment that
can be discovered in this country which offers,
with complete security, aa Income of 73-10
per cent, except the government Treasury
notes, and in the nature of things the $600,-
000,000 thus stared to be deposited in banks
of savings mid discount in tbe loyal States
will in course of time find employment iw this
channel. Many of our leading foreign bank
ers anticipate a lively demand for our Treasu
ry notes abroad, notwithstanding the opposi
tion of the governments; but no foreigneap
ital will be reeded to carry on the war.
Liberty of Speech*
The probability is there will be & few more
instances of “ outrages” upon the “liberty of
speech” in New England before long.
In Connecticut, W. W. Eaton, who was the
Breckinridge candidate for United States Sen
ator before the last Legislature, used the fol
lowing language ata recent meetirgin Bloom
held, in that State.
11 1 was told that this meeting would be
broken np. Mark the prediction—within
thirty days ten thousand men will bs in coun
cil in Hartford county to demand that a stop
stall be put to this damnable, unnatural war.
The man who does not consider it such is not
fit to live.”
And the Bridgeport of tie same
Slate and politics, On tie 19lh of Julv, spoke
as follows:
“The rebel soldiery, as you term them, Mr.
Courier, are not fighting for money. Like oar
Revolutionary fathers, they are fighting for
their just rights.
41 In the revolution of 1776 the forces of
King George were the ones who fought for
money. In the revolution of 1861 the forces
of the despot Lincoln are the ones who are
fighting for money. Men who are fighting
for their constitutional rights in 1776 did not
want to be hired to do it. Neither do the
men who are fighting for their constitutional
rights in IS6L’’
A brief campaign in Connecticut, before
more soldiers are sent from that State into
Tlrginia, might be wholesome.
Anothee Fight in Roane County—A gen

WABBZHeTOsr. Aag. 186 L
Two dark Sundays and a blue Monday have
been upon us. The new older of Secretary
Cameron to harry on tbe troops, was natural
ly an alarm. We bad rumors by tbe hundred
of tbe Philistines being upon us. We hare
rumor makers here- They are in tbe stores of
»U the secessionists. They are in their houses.
They cluster in the balls of tbe Departments.
“Beauregard is crossing'• Johnston Is cross
ing, or baa l got over with 40,000! Lee has
whipped Eceecrans I Pavia will attack ns on
Arlington Heights! Baltimore is betting that
one week will shut us up I” These stories
are made; and then tie rumors that the Po
tomac is about dosed to our boats; the still
ness that hangs over all our real army move
ments; with only an occasional thing known
about what movements are bring made ; these
seem ominous; and, taken with the rather
startling order to the Governors to send on
their troops, though in regiment* as ragged
as Fd6laff'B,'tttade the third of our big scares
elmoet equal to. a- Bali Bus. It -would be de
cidedly unpleasant, if we were not getting
used to such panics. But as it is, they are a
kind of pleasurable excitement, such as we
would have to pay for at the theatre, but come
now gratis.
The hurrying on of the troops, to be here
against any possible -need, and to have them
drilled and officered here, is a goodmove,and
should bave been the policy all along. It
would have been cheaper; the drill and offi
cering would have been better; and it would
have saved some of the misunderstandings as
to the relative powers of the Governors and
the federal auuioriiy over the volunteers.
You remember I bars written much about
the need of a depot for soldiers, where they
could wop h, eat, andrett, on their arrival here,
without first being tramped all over town in
their traveling gear, covered with “ free bolL”
Well, we have it Is is a complete thing, too.
The eld Inauguration ball room that was im
provided for mas occasion, which aeeeah said
never should cbme off, has been taken down,
and new-created, right where soldiers natur
ally dtbovch from tbe tram. There are three
Immense, flumes in which the Potomac is let,
whti CjW&asv high, enr soldiers mav learn to
ford it and take their atdufian*. The other
day 1 saw a regiment in the “ ‘Waite House I’— 1 ’ —
for that, is tbe name—the Lieutenant Cslonel
of which war jurt blessing the bath he and some
*wc hundred others bad taken all at one time.
They go it swimmingly, all but the swim,
when so many are in. Just now troughs are
being placed all along outside, where a hun
dred can wa*h their iacca at a time Near by,
the old “ Mount Yemen Cane Factory,” ia
turned into an eating hou&r, witMour immense
tables, arid where also running water is intro
duced. So does the world move; and the
treope may move on too, as fast as they please,
sod cun be all gratified la th-4r ambition, which
I btarc a Colonel say was that of every volun
teer ot “ getting to the White House.
But I I could get the ear of every com
ing soldier. One thing I would impress upon
frtpj would be to save Me money. 1 have been
here long enough to sec how many of the
soldiers have missed it, in being too free with
their change, aid even with their bills or
gold, when they first arrive, and as long as
any lingered Hun dreds of them used to take
carriage the first thing—a thing I have never
done yet. They would buy every littie thing
they saw; rush it on cigars and drinks; give
to every beggar; allow the little boys to
“ brush their boots and shine ’em npand,
ficaily, make a universal dip into the canvas
shoe excitement. More than $50,000 hua been
paid by soldiers for thee- very questionable
BLoes.” They were ingeniously i-amed “ sol
diers* shoeslocked neat before worn; were
cod and well soled. Bat the soldiers were
well sold in buying them, for whit are they
worth in rainy weather, and ia the fill and
wmter, which arejsear ? The good old shoes of
renown for soldiers are the real shoes for
then:, and the:* they can get for nothing, as
outfit by Government. If they need blacking,
let the soldiers doit themselves, as most gen
tli mt.n do their boots. Many of flash
fellows soon pawned their overcoat or pistols,
and alter that were begging or stealing Gen.
McClellan will aave a:l new comers from the
most of these liabilities; but they cavnot be
too saving of their money when in Washing
ton- Half these land sharks that wait for
then} are secesfe. and laugh at them when
tiny have skinned them, easing, “a fool and
hia money are ssen parted.”
Many of our soldiers hereabouts are re
joicing in a “pocket full of rocks,” in the
shape of eagles and eaglets—the paymaster
having made'their camps a recent visit. Some
of these welcome men at camps are going to
Ohio, ataeng them Majors Gamp and Him
mono, who will cheer the soldiers at Colum
bus, and then follow Gen. Roeecrane, purse in
hand, through the really sacred soil of Vir
ginia. I met Paymaster Dixon yesterday in
hit new suit ala Major. He is the man who
voted all alone in his county in Manassas re
gion, for Lincoln, and as a penalty, ‘was driven
out fix months since, ana has not seen or
heard from Lis family in all that time.
Yesterday I visited the Great Hippodrome
of our army. It is the place where some 500
mules show conclusively the stuff they are
made of; and as many Ijprscs are broken iato
the bagghge wagons. ;he grounds are on
two sides of the Observatory, and prove the
wisdom of tbe “magnificent distances” that
lie scattered everywhere Through Washington.
The horses are pretty fair, bat the best, like
hats after a party, have been gone soma time.
But the mules, they have a wonderful similar
ity, all sleek, and detying post hay to lessen
iheir flesh on the rib. About three acres are
divided up into yards and pens. I happened
there just as they were bringing one poor
mule to the persuasive mood, by means of a
half oozen whilemenasda'dozsn negroes,
wirb rails, clubs, whips, carts, ropes, and las
sos—all to go through a certain gate. They
final!}, after one of the negroes had told him
that “he need not feel so Dig, for his father
was nothing but a jackass,” got a rope round
his under jaw, and drew him through, hitching
him to a post juli his, heels did not fly more
than twenty feet as he went through his tan
trums. This is the way they break them;
then, when they harness them they hitch them
by the halter to a conple of heaviest wagons,
half sunk in the ground, and make them ac
quainted with tfceirfuture companion. There
are wagons by the tbouf and standing through
all that parts of the city. I passed by some
mar enough to read the makers name, and
found, on three contiguous ones, three differ
ent names and places ot manufacture. The
grcunoß of the Observatory are among the
most delightful of tnemany beautiful grounds
of the city, and the panorama of hills, dotted
with tents, of the wide ard circling Potomac,
of Georgetown and Washington, is the most
enchanting. Some would call it a picture,
hut no picture that I have ever Been can equal
if. Lieni.Maurjjthelate superintending genius
of the Observatory, ie now a traitor, laying
magezlnea for our blockading vessels South.
I forget to say when on my mule subject, that

and such an intensity ef muUshness, ;hat any
other i. uit is a horse compared.
Mr. Dole, Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
has lately left oa a tour of observation to Kan
sas, and the Southern Super intendency, if he
can get there. He will see Superintendent
Coffin axd the agents generally in the region
where the Indians are most turbulent. Prob
ably he esnnot safely go beyond Fort Scott,
to which place agent Elder nas been obliged
to retreat from the Osage country, southwest.
Whatever can be done, Mr. Dole will do, to

among the Indiana who have been “plowed

than they. A special Commissioner has been
sent to the tribes farther north and west, who
wSH also look to the abuses the white contract

Yesterday I took a short trip down our
beautiful harbor for the purpose of “ recon
noisance,” Embarking on the steamboat
Argo, the gentlemanly capraln and his clerk
made themselves agreeable by pointing out
scenes of interest, and affording every infor
mation and satisfaction to my native curiosity
■which unfortnns&Jy la very Yankee in its spe
cics. Boston Harbor is one of the safest and
most beautiftil of any along the Atlantic coast,
In form resembling the contour of an egg,
somewhat, with an outlet or ship channel di
rectly opposite the city, with here and there
an island to relieve the plainness of the scene,
seeming to stand as sentinels, and to question
Hie ingress or egress of all “ craft,” whose
papers are not more creditable than those of
J. Davis’s minions. "We landed after an hoar’s
ride, at 3t George’s Island, on which is situa
ted the finest lert in the harbor, called
after that illustrious hero of the revolution,
whose blood was among the first to baptise
the altar of patriotism in the battle of Banker
Bill—Gen. Joseph Warren. We were politely
escorted to Headquarters by Capt Almy, one
of the staff officers, where, after refreshing
ourselves, we were “ stolen around ” by Gen.
Andrews.
Fort Warren Is now without regiments, the
Uft havisg departed about two weeks since
for the “seat of war.” Perhaps a cursory re
view of what I saw at the Fort will be accept
able, and I will accordingly give you a few
notes as Frank Leslie pass, “taken on the spot
by cur t-p trial artist.” A fort, as its
i ame implies, is a stronghold for
ofleneive and defensive purposes, built usual
ly on en island or a prelection of laad—some-
tiiser, howevtr. not thus. It Is constructed
ofEwnSe, udtie distance fiombueto par
aiitrtani thirty toforty feet. Forte ere of w

SltS. ao that if 'he enemy should scalethe
outer »*ll, he would be obliged to descend it,
croaa the ditch, throw no scaling laddera in
his effort to make the Fort, thus exposing
himaelf to a raking fire from these
baatiocs across bis flanks, and retreat
heinff Impossible, you can imagine to what
denser he is liable. A great many people make
the inquiry “ wby don’t they budd forts
square and simple ?” Because, if so built Ue
zucan6 of defense would not be ao well en
hanced to the entrenched forces, and it is for
tbis reason —that of defense —that these forts
i are so irngnlariy constructed.
1 The interior presents a larg* parade ground,
on three sides of which are the officer*’ quar
ters and casemates —m*us rooms for the
troops—very commodious and sufficiently
ample to accommodate about 4,000 men.
Above the casemate is the parapet or topmost
range, upon which are mounted the largest
guns, commanding the ship chancel, so that
so vessel of any character can. pass unmolested
into the harbor.
The guns of the interior casemate, on the
other band, are protected by bomb-proof walls,
the thickness of the roof bdug about sixteen
feet of solid earth. These guns are ran out
through port-holes, and being, like the guns
on the parapet, bung on a swivel, command
the blind ditches as also they protect the whole
fort. The magazines are placed at convenient
distances, usually at the corners of the fort, and
are also bomoproot They are capable of
holding each many tons of powder. Ths num
ber of guns that can be mounted is three hau
dred and twenty, those of the interior bslag
f»rty two pounders or seven-inch; those on the
parapet much larger. The cocking departments
are well appointed, and the gloomy prison
houses are"jn3t such Plutonic abodes as the
poet 'Virgil described, only there is no three
headed Ctrtbus or river Styx; but there is
plenty of thick darkness admirably calculated
to knock off the rough comers of unruly sol
diers, and inspire them with a kind of horrid
reverence for their General aad officers. On
the whole, “Fort Warren” is a remarkable
structure, and, although it does not compare
with the largest fort in the world—that of the
Czar of Buasia, wh;ch is eleven miles in cir
cuit—yet it will compare with any on the At
lantic Coast. ‘When it is remembered that
the actual cost of building has reached one
million two hundred and eight thousand
dollars. It may be well conceived how
noble a work it is; and when we are ak-o
convinced that ther« are many others chained
along the Atlantic Coast, from the Maine line
to ibe extreme paint of Florida, thence around
the Gulf up the Pacific Coast, we may well
boast of the mighty bulwarks of America.
But the fate of Sumter—a source of regret,
indeed—need cause no alarm f or the satrty of
those which remain to u» intact by an impe
rious and ruthless Joe. __
To General Andrews and staff, who afforded
every facility for prosecuting our inquiries
and informing ourself with the uses and vari
ous departments of the fort, we are deep ! y iu
oebted, and congratulate our Old Bay State iu
the good fortune she has had in securing iu
her service so kind and gentlemanly officers.
Alter spending five or six hours, aud enjoy
ing a pleasant conversation and a hearty sup
per, we took leave, much delighted with our
seven-mile trip down Boston Harbor. H.

The Military School at Norwich —Need of Slat
Military Academies in the North—The Rifle
Factory at Windsor, etc.
[Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.]
Sobwicb, Tt., August 17,1861
I have been slopping at this placeaf=w
days, and while here have been impressed
with some conalderatiaas relative to military
matters, which I want to suggest to your
readers. Did yon ever reflect how entirely
destitute of military educational establish
ments the Free States are and have been, com
pared with the South? The only military
school outside of West Point, in the whole
North, is the Norwich University, located at
this place, while almost every Southern State
haa a military Academy in lull operation, and
has had lor the last ten years. Military edu
cation has long been popular there, and many
of their Academies now in operation have
been established and conducted by graduates
of the Norwich University, while at the
North public opinion has frowned upon every
thing of the hind* Gen. Alonzo Jackman, the I
| military instructor here and Adjutant General I
o' Vermont State Militia, informs me that up
wards of twenty years ago he entered into
correspondence with the Adjutant Generals of
al. the Slates, with a view to establishing
State Military Academies for the instruction
ot citizen solders, and for a time published a
newspaper called the Citizen having
that object in view; that he succeeded in ex
citing an interest in military matters, and
indirectly aiding and promoting miliary
i ©bools in neatly all tne slate Stales, hulfailed
to excite any interest, or comparatively mile,
in any of tee Flee States. Cayt. Alaen Par
tridge, who was the founder of fcais Univer
sity, and for a long time its President,
attempted at various times to establish ocher
irsnvuiions of a similar kind lu some other
Nuitctra States, for instance Connecticut and
Pennsylvania, and did. establish them fur a
time, but they came to an end at his death, or
tacitly alter. Much of the patronage ot this
institution, as well as of tue others com
mtneed in Connecticut and Pennsylvania by
tiipt. Partridge, came from the Slave Stales,
and continued to do so until a very late pe
riod. The whole Northern mind seem* to
have been utterly hostile to any military edu
cation or knowledge, and the cause of the
Union is now meeting obstruction and disas
ter. from, the want of that knowledge aad
training which can best be obtained in youth,
and at military schools. The South have now
a large body ut competent officers iramed and
disciplined in their State muitary schools, to
gether with their proportion oi West Point
graduates, while the North have only their
proportion, of Weat Pointers, together with
the very lew who have graduated from the
school* established by Capt. Partridge.
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky,
Tennessee, and I thick Alabama, have
each military schools. The graduates of these
schools are mumroup, and to them m*vbe
attributed very much of the uprising
efficiency and mditary spirit o* .n,
Southern army in this rebellion- Ton well
know what important aid the single company
of Chicago Zouaves trained by CoL EUb worth,
have gmn to the national cau=e. Verymaay ot
the graduates of this inati'ution are os comps
\ tent to give- military instruction and discip
line as Elleworth, and In the re.d science of
warfare, seme far better perhaps. The study
atd practice of the Chicago Zuuaves wai con
fined to simple tactics I believe, yet most of
them have become valuable officers in our
volunteer army. War is both a science aud an
art, and must be studied long to be mas
lercd, I am thoroughly convinced that
itepeopleoilhe North must wake up at
once to the vital necessity of military educa
tion, How long this war will last no one oan
tell The military schools should he filled
with student* at once, aad if the
present ones are cot sufficient they should be |
enlarged or new ones established. I wish you
would think of the subject, mid coil the pub
lic attention to it through y our paper. It fcas
cot been considered so carefully as it ought.
There is nothing like such schools for kcep
icg up the ardor of the population not per
sonally engaged in war; such military schools
are better than camps of soldiers for instruc
tion; camps may do for men, but fcrtheyoulh
of a nation the discipline of the school as well
cs the camp is required.
The University has accommodations for
seme 100 or 200 students, and can be enlarged
iccf finittl j. They have two braes 6-poonders
well mounted and in good order, aad plenty of
small arms. The. State of Vermont furnishes
them with all the arms they may require.
The Rev, Dr. Bourns, President, is an accom
plished classical scholar, aud a very thorough
teacher. General Jackman, military in
structor, is an excellent disciplinarian, and
a thoroughly educated military mao and
mathematician. He would have been
appointed Colonel of one of the Vermont
regiments, but it was thought that
bis services in Ms present position as an In
structor were of more value to the people.
Nearlv all of the Cadets of the University have
been engaged all the summer in drilling the
volunteers for the war at various points, so |
that they have had no Commencement, aud
many of these just ready to graduate have en
tereu the army as Lieutenants. 1 feel that such
an institution ought to be supported aud en
couraged.
It Is said here that the large rifle manufac
tory ox Windsor, Vermont, which has been
1 flirt idle for several years, is to be immediate
ly put in operation making Minie guns for
the Government. During the Crimean war it
was engaged largely in making Enfield Rifles
lor the British Government, but has been idle
much of the time since.
The valley of the Connecticut never looked
more beautiful than at this time. Abundant
rsiis have pswdaced luxuriant crops. Not
withstanding the general loyalty of the peo
ple, there are some traitors even here in New
England, and they are of the most venomous
description ; openly rejoice at the defeat
of the national arms. Most of them are for
mer office holders under that old scoundrel
Buchanan, and they are in my opinion in se
cret league with the rebels. The operation of
a good vigilance committee would improve
their tone greatly. W. T. B.

The line of the Alexandria and London
Railroad is dotted with rebel camps. At
Leeeburgb there are 8.000 infantry and six
cannon. At a point six miles farther below
are 6,000 infantry and six cannon. Still far
ther on, four miles beyond, are 3,T00 infantry.
There sre also 2,000 cavalry In London coon
ty. The Potomac, however, remains too high
to be lord'd even by cavalr7,to whose saddles
tbe water comes.
I* appears That the withdrawal of th* rebels
from Fairfax Court Honse, was a regular stam
pede. Two scouting parties of the enemy
mistook each other for National troops, at
tacked each other sharp’y, fought, and rapid
ly fled after a few rounds, carrying the news
that McClellan and all his army were in pur
suit. The consequence of the Intelligence
, was a hasty flight, by the rebels, who dropped
their rick a!ong the road.
Government baa reliable information that
a quarrel has broken out among the leading
traitors of the Confederacy, that promises to
be disastrous. The belligerents are Toombs
and tbe Virginians and the Nonh
Carllnians on the one side, and Divie, VVigfall
and the extremists of South Carolina on the '
other. The complaint am.org the disaffected
is, that Djtis is reaching rather fast to the le- :
aitimate results of treason, the abnegation of
the State and Individual rights.
