THE NEW IOBK NEWS.
A gcul k-man from the extreme South,
long a resident of the slave States, and
well acquainted with the causes of the
v sr, tells us that we of the North can have
little or no idea of the pestilent influence
which the New York XTcich and other jour
nals of that sort have exerted upon the
popular mind of that section. The con
spirators in league with Davis based their
hopes of success on the supposed assent of
the Democracy of the North to their un
holy work; and never were men more
confounded than they, when the uprising
of the masses in the loyal States and the
blending of all parties into one, demon
strated the baselessness of the foundation
upon which the rebels had built. They
were staggered, and for a long time incred
ulous. VTheii the desperate character of
their enterprise was revealed, the courage
of the masses went down; and but for the
incendiary efforts of the secession sheets
of the North, which kept alive the belief
that a reaction would follow in our great
cities and among the loyal rural neigh
borhoods, the sober second thought
wculd have prevailed in many a
Ssmhern district where secession had
been the law. But the delusion held
rut by these sheets kept treason alive,
dampened the hope and abated the courage
01 the Union men, and neutralized all
loyal endeavor. TiieAcws, says our cor
respondent, was hailed everywhere by the
rebels as a prophet predicting pleasant
things, and by the remaining unionists as
unwelcome evidence that the Republic
had really gone to wreck. “What,” said
they, *• shall we risk everything in acause
“so hopeless as the tone of this sheet
“ proves it to be. If the loyalty of the
“North is as unquestionable as we hoped
“ would such a paper be permitted to live V
“ Cfin a people put down treason in the
“ South, when it is powerless to silence
“ their own traitors at home And this
rec-oniiig was natural and to them conclu
sive. They lived under a reign of terror.
Disloyally to the rebel gods was punished
with death. The traitors were in earnest,
and those who suffered at their hands
hoped that the North was in earnest also.
“Willi the evidence before them that trea
son, as mnk as that of the Confederate
Congress, was permitted to thrive in the
great commercial city of the most loyal of
States,he w could they hope to see traitors,
where treason is popular, bought to the
punishment that they had earned. And
so the Abies did its work. Its ability was
nothing; its pretended facts were fictions;
its reasoning puerile; but it lived and
flourished, an enemy of the Government
and open ally of the traitors; and that was
enough. An army of fifty thousand true
men could not undo the mischief it has
wrought. Yet there are those who deny
the instinct of self-preservation in the
Government, while asserting it in the in
dividual—set up the abuse of the press and
call it tree speech, and redden with indig
nation when such a potent enemy is
shut cut of the section where it has done
so much evil We have no respect
for that squeamishness. Let the Govern
ment pioceed with a strong hand and sup
press it altogether!
IBOOPS FOB. IHE KANAWHA.
Tlie possession of the Kanawha valley
Is in peril. It is likely to be disputed at any
moment, even if it lias not already been
vrres'cd froma s by the rebel army which
has just driven back Col. Tyler and now
threatens the Federal force at Gauley
Bridge. Gen. Cos has telegraphed to
Gov. Dennison of Ohio for help. He needs
5,000 fresh men—lo,ooo would be better If
they could be had—to make sure of his
situation. One regiment, the Ohio 47th,
Col. Fied. Porscimer, has already been
sent forward from Cincinnati, though un
der orders for St, Louis. Others will fol
low, and Ohio will probably furnish Gen.
Fitment no more troops—great as is the
need for them in Missouri—until
the necessities of the Kanawha
have been met Ohio has,
with the three month’s men now being re
organized, some twenty-five regiments in
Course of formation, not including artil
lery and civalry. A week will enable her
tc. tend forward 5,000 men, but a week
hence it may need three times that num
ber to recover ground that has been lost
meanwhile. Why, then, are the troops
being called from Michigan to Washing
ton, which surely is not in greater peril
-ban Western Virginia. One regiment,
(the Ctb) goes forward from Detroit to-dav;
tic sth is under marching orders; and the
T.L and Bth are nearly ready. Between
Western Virginia and Missouri it would
trim that our Western volunteers, from
Malagas, Wisconsin and Minnesota, have
enough to *do nearer home. The 2d Min
nesota, we learn, is to be called in from
Forts Ringely and Abercrombie and made
ready for the field. It is not stated whither
they are going, but surely we hope no
more Western troops will be called to the
E&id until after Fremont and Rosecrans
have been supplied.
HEWS OF SOKE ILLINOIS BOVS.
•The expedition from Rolla to Lane's
Prairie, spoken of by our Roßa corres
pondent, was sent out to surprise a body
of secessionists said to be in that quarter,
full one thousand strong, under command
of the everlasting Misgal Johnson. Our
force was selected from the Hth and 15th
Illinois at Holla; but
how many men were detailed for surround
ing the rebel regiment, our correspondent
does not telL After the departure of the
battalion, reports continued to increase the
strength of the enemy in numbers and po
sition, and CoL Turner of the 15th sent
out another company and an additional
.gun. Vnlees these rebels run, we shall
hear of a good chunk of a scrimmage. Few
of our lads have had an opportunity to
draw a bead on the enemy. We hopethat
they may not be uisuppointed this time.
IHK BATTLE OF CROSS LANES*
It appears by our correspondence, writ
ten up to the eve of the battle at Cross
Lanes, that Col. Tylers regiment had hut
just returned from a forced march to Gau
ley, and, while expecting some demonstra
tion from Floyd’s rebel army, were not
locking for an attack upon themselves.
Besides, they were weary and worn;
and Laving once broken up camp
at Cross Lanes, they had not been
able, In the few hours after their
return, to prepare themselves for so sud
den an emergency. How bravely they
fought, the record of that day’s work shall
testify, xt is probab :c that the rebel force
w aßSa *fcd them was only'aportion of
ioy s army, who were encamped eight
miles from Gauley Bridge, on New Kiser.

NORTH BISSOCBI.
The leniency of General Hurlbnt, in
letting the people of Palmyra off “forthis
once,” has been followed by a greater im
punity of the miscreants along the Hanni
bal & St. Joseph railroad, and communi
cation, by train or telegraph, is again sus
pended. Trouble is expected at Hannibal;
and bow far the malady extends into the
country it is impossible to say. More
troops will bare to be quartered upon the
citizens, and more levies made for dam
ges, and these just penalties, we are
assured, will be exacted to the uttermost-
The law is only valuable when its decrees
are certain.
FROM SX« LOUIS.
General Military Demonstration in
Honor of Gen. Lynn,
[Special Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.]
St. Lone, Aug. 53,1361.
The event of to-day has been tho grand
funeral escort that accompanied the body of
the hero, Gen Lyon, to the cars, on which it
started for the distant State within whose soil
the remains will finally repose. The cere
monies were appointed for 1 o’clock, but
long before noon crowds began to gather in
the vicinity of Gen Fremont’s head-quarters,
where the body had been taken the evening
previous. They lined the streets for blocks
in each direction, and stretched far along the
route to be pursued. Shortly before one the
escort formed and a few minutes, after the sad
music of the bands came swelling forth in
mournful beauty as the procession started.
First came a detatchment of police to keep
the route clear, then respectively, Captains
Thielman and Zagony’s companies of cavalry,
followed by a section of Captain Garlia’s bat
tery of artillery, the artillery men sitting in
their seats with arms crossed and bowed
heads. Then came the noble Missouri First,
whom the dead hero had but lately led to
battle, and who won bright laurels in the
army of the gallant chieftain. With reversed
weapons and countenances that showed
they felt deeply the great loss, they
marched threugn ihc t-ilent masses, in the eyes
of many of whom tears were offering tribute
to the memory of him who struck so nobly
for the liberties of Missouri, and while strik
ing, died. Next came the sable plumes of the
hearse, and through the glass doors of dea* Vs
carriage could be seen the coffin, wrajped m
tqe flag the soldier loved so well, and covered
with flowers strewn by the hand of women
upon the breast of the warrior. As the bu
rial car passed onwards, memory flew backfor
a moment to the first crashing blows at trea
son, to the battle at Boonville and to the final
and bloody field at Springfield, where the dea
perale victory was won and Gen. Lyon fell.
It was sad to believe that the arm that waved
the liitie army to victory was motionless in
death, and to know that
He tleepe Mb last sleep, he has fought his last
battle.
No sound can awats him to glory again.
At the head df the coffin was a beautiful
wreath, emblematical of the one with which,
had he lived, the htro would have been
crcwned. Following the hearse came the
pall-beartre, eight in number, consisting of
tie loilowieg officers: CoL Blair, Col. Oiler-
Isms, Maj S’urges, M&j. Conant, Col. Albert,
Col. oh, Maj. Schofield and Maj. Shepherd.
In front of these, and led just behind the cof
fin of bis late master, was the horse of Gen.
Lyon, wearing v livery of crape. Gen. Fre
mont and stiff; and Provost Marshal McKlu
slry, ail in full uniform and mounted, came
next, followed by some carriages containing
the Meyer and some of the City CooncUmen.
The rear was brought up by CoL McNeti’s
Third Regiment of the U. S. Reserve Corps,
and several officers oa foot, followed by a
crowd of civilians* who, however, dropped off
as the escort proceeded, and the military and,
carriages alone formed the procession. Con-
Bpicuous among the officers who rode in the
rear of the hearse was Gen. 81 gel, the hero of
Carthage, showing plainly the elites of Ms
recent hardship?, and wearing, as I thought, a
very sad expression, perhaps caused by
thoughts of the fields whereon he had strag
gled with the illustrious dead for the preser
vation ol the Union,
Slowly down A&tcan avenue to Fifth street,
?nd then northward to the upper ferry, pissed
the procession, windows, roofs, and sidewalks
being occupied by the multitudes. Not a word
cf disrespect, not a breach of decorum occur
red, but all, e\en the enemies of the cause,
seemed willing to yield to its brave defender
tfceir admiration. In numberless windows
small flags were hung forth draped in mourn
ing, while the great one floating from the dome
of the Court House hung at hall-mast, as did
all others in the city. As the hearse passed
by grey headed old men and youth alike bared
their heads in reverence. Reaching the up
per ferry the procession halted on the bank of
the river, and the hearse, accompanied by two
companies of soldiers, the pall bearers and
the most distinguished of the officers, em
barked on board of the boat and crossing the
river, escorted the body to the Ohio and
iliesissippi Railroad depot, where it was taken
charge cf by the Adams Express Company,
and left at 3 o’clock for the East, accompanied
by a brother-ir-law and cousin of the deceased,
and seve al officers, Itwas s great disappoint
ment to the citizens that the body could not
lay for a day here in state, bat owing to its
great decomposition, such a course was im
possible.
To some the number of military engaged In
the ceremony may, and undoubtedly did,seem
small, but to those acquainted with the pecu
liar circumstances now surrounding the de
partment, it was known to be all that pru
dence dictated.
A (fairs in the city arc at present remarkably
quiet. But few new troops arrive, and no ar
rests of importance have lately been made.
Regularly every day the secessionists get up
cn ageny in reports of Jefftrson City or some
ether important post being taken, but the
citizens have got so used to the exciting and
subsiding process, that rumor wags her busy
tongue mostly in vain. Provost Marshal Me-
Kinstiy still continues the prince of law and
order, and such a terror baa he become to se
cessionists that the proceedings of the gentry
Cave become exceedingly tame and uninterest
ing. Public interest now centers at Iroatoa
and the Capital, and but a few days will pass
probably before a battle will be fought at one
of the two points. c.
FBO.V CROSS LANES.
Tfc© Ohio 7th~A Forced march to
Gsniey ano B&ck-Potitlon oritatogi
—Floyd Threatening Gen. Cox—A
Sklrauih, Etc.
[Special Correspondence of tic Chicago Tribune.]
Cross Laxes, Va., Sunday, Aug. 26.
For three weeks we—the Ohio 7th—have
been almost constantly cn the move. We
have been at Weston, at Sutton, at Glenvllle,
at Big Birch, here at Cross Lanes, and now,
after a forced march to near Gauley Bridge, we
arc back here again. Consult the map, and
you will see that those places named are on
the direct turnpike connecting Clarksburg
and Gauley, and that we have been steadily
moving from the North towards Gen. Cox’s
endpfthe line. This road, as you may al
ready know, is the base line of the operations
of our army ;—a poor road, and a hard one to
travel, but all-important to be hold and to be
kept open. There are several other regiments
along the route, bat there are so many chan
ges in their numbers and location, that I may
not perhaps enlighten you if I should under
take to give them. Suffice it that there are
tcdics of troops at all the places named as
having been our temporary abiding place—
none nearer to us, however, on the North,
than B!g_ Birch, 25 miles.
_ CrctelaDu, where we first arrived from Big
Birch, some teu days since, is altogether the
most delightful place for a camp we have
yet had. It is ten miles from Summerville,
and twenty-four from Gauley Bridge; and is
called “Cross Lanes” because the turnpike be
fore mentioned is crossed here by the road
from the Lewfaburg pike. We are four miles
from Gauley river, —crossed by a ferry, and
on a beautiful rise of ground sloping down on
the south and west towards Meadow creek.
BuM ssy we are “back here again.” Per
haps it has not been announced that we made
a forced march to near Gauley, this week,
in response to a sudden call of Gen. Cox. It
was expected when we came here that we
should fortify this position by earth works,and
hold it; and, indeed, we were ordered bo to
do. Bat on Wednesday last Gen. Cox had
word that the rebel Floyd was coming upon
him with 10,000 men, along the New River
route from Greenbrier county. He sent for
ns, as the nearest regiment, and we responded
upon the instant. Leaving Cross Lanes at 11
o dock, Wednesday night, we marched 18
milts, to the mouth of Twenty Mile Creek, six
miles above Gauley, where we halted at six
o’docx the next morning. Here we remained
during Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and no
enemy appearing we returned to Cross Linas
again by another forced much Saturday night.
Floyd was said to be ooly e’ght miles distant
from Gauley,on New River, but it was thought
best for us to return here, ani guard ths ferrv
and the road leading north. So we arc hire
agsin, tired and fcotaore; and what shall come
next, time alone may develop.
Oar boys are in very good health, consider
ing the hardship® we have experienced. The
furgeon’s morning call usually brings up
thirty to forty to be prescribed for. None of
the cases are serious, or more than may be ex
pected to arise from exposure, want of rest,
ard other evils attendant upon military duty.
But, sick or well, tired or not, you may always
count on the Reserve boys of the Ohio 7th.
To-day we are all in confusion, in couse-
quence of having been broken In our camp
me. All our baggage has not yet returned
from Gauley.
The newspapers have, we understand, given
Tia several battles (which we have not had)
and have (on paper) nearly annihilated our
regiment. The shooting 01 secession * ! goril
las,” and a skirmish that a party of Captain
Shutte’s company had, last Wednesday—the
day we left Cross Lanes—are all the fighting
that has yet been bad. Shutte was out acou£
me, with a body of fourteen men, on the “ Sat
urday rood ’’leading from Gauley river over
to the New river pike, and had proceeded
eight miles beyond the ford, when he was
surprised by the Richmond Blues, who killed
four of onr party and wounded six. The Cap
tain was himself wounded, it is said quite bad
ly. and taken prisoner the second one of
onr Captains to fall into the hands of the ene
my. The others of the party returned. Oar
boys showed great braveiy in the skirmish,
snd would have brought otf the Captain only
that he told them he must very soon die, and
urged them to leave him
“We are notyet without apprehensions of an
attack from Floyd, but Gen. Cox advised our
return here, on the ground that if he was
attacked we mitht get in the rear of the ene
my and help torn the scale of battle. Taxing
the “ Saturday road” across we may be able to
do as good service in that way as in any other.
We are all anxious for a light, and unless all
the signs fail you will hear something from
this quarter very soon. The rebel army is too
near to Gauley to back out without showing
itself.
But let this answer for now. Oar means of
communication with the world outside are
very limited, and letters or papers inside of
ten days old are quite “fresh.” A boat leaves
for Gallipolis, down the Kanawha every day
and I hope to get this through; and in that
hope, I close the letter with an announcement
to the world that the gallant 7th will yet be
heard from, and to their honor. X.

Some of the CavUi of the London
Times Answered*
[From the Loudon Nows, Aug. 12.]
If any unconstitutional acts are hereafter
called np for review in Congress, it will be for
Congress to decide whether blame is imputa
ble to anybody; and if so, to whom. It is
avowed on all hands that the Constitution
not provided for such a crisis as is now to be
be dealt with. The slave States did not adopt
the means constitutionally provided forex
pressing their discontents, and obtaining any
changes they desired, and they left the loyal
Sart of the nation no choice but to defend the
(public by the best methods which offered
under due notice that the proceedings
would be reviewed hereafter, and provi
sion made for future occasions. Congress
hss lost no time in giving a provisional sanc
tion to the acts of the Executive; and for
anybody else to set up a demand for a pedan
tic _ adherence to constitutional instructions
while the Confederates were marching to
seize Washington, is an impertinence which
the strictest members of political society can
>y laugh at. It is a great evil,of coarse, that
there should be any departure whatever from
acy constitutional provision; but tlie blame
rests—not on the National Trustee to whom
the seftty of the Republic is confided bat
on the seceders who ignored every provision
of a National Convention, and a Supreme
Ccnit, and fired on the National forts, and
marched on the National Capital before the
new President had any means at his disposal
for encountering them.
It is not true that the President baa ever
talked of the “irrepressible conflict,” which
the Times fellows Mr. Vallandigham in putting
into his mouth, as well as Mr. Seward’s. The
two words are Mr. Seward’s, but the rest
of the phrase is not Ms —nor anybody’s.
Mr. Seward did not say that there was,
or is, or will be, an Irrepressible con
flict between the North and the South,
but between the principles of government In
a slaveholding nation and one in which the
laborers are citizens. The difference is all
important ; and whatever may be the discon
tent with Mr. Seward on all hands, he must
not be eub’ect to the injustice of being made
answerable for words which he never uttered.
Tbe coupling Mr. Lincoln with him is a mere
artifice, as nobody knows better than ilr.Yal
landigham.
Such are the devices by which the first seri
ous misfortune sustained by the champions
of law and freedom is made use of to discredit
their representatives and to damage their
cause, in an assemblage like the American
Congress there most be an obstructive mem
btr here and there who is not above recourse to
such arts; but we ought to be on our guard
against them, as far as a due attention to the
history of the case can make us so. We must
carefully keep in view how it was that the
contention arose, who inflicted the first inju
ries, and under what circumstances Mr. Lin
coln was called upon to repel them.

TTblcss history is & record of misleading pro
cedents, the American Government will In a
m onth be the stronger for its defeats. That it
should be eo must be the wish of every Eng
lishman, for the consequences of defeat must
be disastrous to human freedom. The South
in possession of Washington, and once recog
xozcd as a power, would be in the bestpo
sitlon to realize its dream of conquest and
spoliation. The army widch had defeated the
Xsorth, or even driven It back from its soil,
would overrun Mexico as easily as the first
conquerors of the country. Once masters of
the silver mines, and of a great taxable popu
lation, the Southern leaders might iu a few
years organize an army which nothing on the
American continent could withstand, and
which would speedily bring about a new ca
lamity-—the armed interference of Europe in
Central America. Such a power, while unop
posed, might reopen the slave trade, and would
certainly bo extend the area of slavery as to
render its extinction all but impossible. The
first barrier against a misfortune so terrible to
the world is the strength of the American
Government, and however annoying its fail
ures, or however deep our disgust at its tone,
It is with that Government that the sympa
thies of all free men perforce must he,

and passengers this forenoon. As the train
was going from this place to Rolls, and was
within eight miles of the latter place, a terri
ble explosion occurred, shattering the win
dows of the cars, and throwing the engine
partly from the rails. A keg of powder had
been bnried by some parties two feet under
the track, and a fuse attached to it set on fire
cs the train approached. Just as the engine
v? as passing over the mine it exploded, shat
tering the bed to pieces, burning the engin
eer, and fairly lifting the locomotive from the
rails. Had the explosion taken place a second
later, it would have destroyed the passenger
cars and killed many of the inmates. After a
slight detention and repairs to the track, the
train was able to proceed.

[Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat.]
Ibonton, August 27,1851.
The forward movement has commenced
At an early hour this momiag the troons
moved off to the lively step of martial moste,
in fine order. Their hearts seemed to beat
high with eager anticipation as the lively
music timed their onward msrch for Dixie’s
southern clime. Gsa. Prentiss and staff, in
dose connection with the troops, formed as
it were the centre column. They all bade
adieu to Ironton and its remnant of inhabit
ants, and started upon a journey long since
desired by the American people, particularly
the Union men of the South. The intelli
gence of the murder of one of the first men
m this section—Mr. Woodford, of Keola—has
just grated upon my ears. The names of
many other Union men, who have been shot
without cause or provocation, are in myp>
session, bat not just at hand. I can give
them at any time. The names are so nnm°r
ous they become cumbersome.
Murder, rapine, and devastation is bat the
sad tale to be told constantly and continually
until secessionlsm and the race of its advo
cates are exterminated.
The regiments under marching orders last
nigbt were not all encamped here, though all
move in conjunction to form the grand col

A large provision train, your correspondent

the column. Something’s ahead in store for
ycur correspondent, which as fast as discov
ered will be only reported.
An immense number of rations hare been
(ana ■will be) taken by the provision trains
sufficient seemingly to supply the State of Mis
scuri, but one who is not accustomed to th a
slaughter of previsions caused by aa army"
has little idea of the vast amount consumed
in a single day. Some of the commands arc
now almost in a state of nndlty, barefooted
and bareheaded. Other commands are greatly
m need of better arms, which they are entitled
to, and should have had weeks ago.
The forces now here are the ist Nebraska
regiment, at Pilot Kuob; the GShMUsouri and
the Illinois 21st at Ironton, or between Iron*
ton and Arcadia.
Two companies of cavalry came in this
mornirg, adding much to the efficiency o'
the forces here. I have remarked concerning
this before, but it will bear repeating—noth
ing is so much needed as cavalry. Two regi
ments of cavalry now would be as efficient
mid, I doubt not, more successful than the
entire command of infantry. The regiment
to which these companies belong,lam in
formed, Is attached to Gen. Slgel’s command,
under Col. Nebeth. The companies are A
and B, under Captains Pcfaffaad Sanger, with
a strength of between 75 and SO in each com

The Rush of Subscribers.
Frefit and Patriotism Combined.

and Wall streets. Within the cod, deepshades

der and quiet always associated with great
financial traLsactions. Ir tout business is with
Mr. Cisco, you turn to your left, noon enter
ng from Wall street, and find yourself in a
bar dsomely furnished private office. Behind
a low table sits Mr. Cisco, a pleasant, amiable
gentleman, under whose excellent supervision
the department has been carried on for fifteen
years, without a single blunder or mistake,
although there are many branches of art ur?
c^iar S e i ifr 'Which correctness and infal
libility is rather a matter of instinct timq 0 f
education. In suite of his multifarious and
onerous duties, you will find this gentleman
reaey to give you any information you may
desire in regard to the popular loan.
There is no need to ask him the particulars
which we have noted above concerning th*
notes or the manner of subscribing for them!
Be has anticipated any such queries, and has
prepaied z set of Instructions, brief and ex
plicit, which yon may read for yourself, and
which, we have condensed for the public.
Pass, then, to the matter which comee more
immediately under his direct suoervision—the
subscriptions by letter. He td£s yon that the
fcubtcriptions have been very active, and are
£tul upon the increase. The amounts range
from fiity to fifty thousand dollars, these be
ing the extreme sums yet deposited. Manv
ct the subscribers seem to be actuated by pat
riotic motives aicne, and writel wish to
subscribe so many dollars to support our gov
eiment,” or u to supportthebestgovemment
on earth,” A correspondent at Scranton, Pa.
"-evidently a mechanic—sends on a thousand
dollars, and begs Mr. Cisco to send an agent
there, “as there are tons of gold rusting
which the government needs and can have!”
There is not much chance for fine writing or
patriotic expression in these letters, to be
sore, bnt yet in maoy caste the patriotism
shines out of them as plainly as ever
it did in Webster’s speeches or Scott’s
uimy orders. Look at lliL letter, pray. Id that
ti.e chirography of a rich man, or of a poor
one? Cannot you see the mark of hard toil
in every stroke of the pec ? Cannot you see
the mark of hard earnings in that word “fifty '’
afterwards changed into “ sixty ?” Is there
not a romance under ail this which you would
like to know, and was it not patriotism which
induced this poor laborer to scrape together
ten more debars for his country —reserving
nothing—rif king all his savings. There’sa
nca man’s letter for yon—a full, round, easy
hand; a pompous “ five thousand dollarsa
great bread seal. Evidently that was written
by a man well to do, comfortable and on the
look out for a safe investment, and it doe=n’t
touch your sympathy so nearly, but does it
not show a confidence in the stability of the
Government, in tbe futnre of these United
States, which no Bull Ran reverses, no warn
ings of the London Times, no threats of Eng
lish capitalists can shake or destroy ? Next
comes a letter in a lady’s hamd—ddieate, well
written, concise. She cannot subscribe much
but she sends her little “to sustain the Gov
enment,” and she may rest assured that it
will. Here’s a family letter—five hundred
dollars for Mr. John Smith; one hundred for
Mrs. John Smith, and filly dollars each for all
the little Smiths, from young John to Sarah.
That is from the country—yes,look at the post
mark. A comfortable farmer, decidedly
brusque, honest, open-hearted and open-hand
ed. Young John, no doubt, has gone off to
the wars; for 11 we mistake not, there is a
tear-blot opposite Lis name, dropped from,
kind, gentle, motherly eyes which looked over
old John’s shoulder as he copied the long list
c f names from the lamily Bible. Little Sarah
mutt be very young indeed, for, see, she has
blotted her own name with her email, pretty
dimpled hand in her eagerness to see it and to
trace it with her fingers, and iu her simple
astonishment that it doesn’t look at all like
herself What a curious, -crabbed hand the
nextletteriswrittenin. Tins is from a widow,
and she subscribes largely. How firm and
independent the words stand along the page,
and how plainly they speak the will ot the
woman to aid the government with her strong
hands, as well as with her means, if she were
only a man. Here are a parcel of letters from
cleigy men, salesmen, servants, clerks, farmers,
capitalists—each individual and peculiar, but
ah telling tbe same story. Then comes a
clumsy sort Jcf document, ill spelled, and
making a frightful mess of what it wishes to
say, as thouguihe writerwerenot exactly clear
m his mind in regard to his intentions. Aa
Irishman,wewiliwarrant. Yes, “Patrick,” and
a namebeginning with O. He would beinthe
Sixty -ninth if he were young enough, but he
spares SIOO for his adopted country, iu his old
age, and promises another hundred “ if it be
required. ’ The dear old fellow clearly thinks
he is giving his money away, bnt how willing
ly he docs it! Russell’s letter on Meagher has
wanned him up, and wbat is money to the
honor of Old Ireland ? Next is a merchant’s
letter, business-like and explicit. He knows
that he is making a good investment; and
seven and three-tenths per cent, interest pays;
that his money is safer with the goverment
than in his drawer, and he subscribes largely.
Then there is a letter from a savings bank, tak
ing thousands of dollars of stock. Theinsti
tution makes the investment, certainly; but
it represents hundreds and hundreds of poor
folk, of whose confidence in the preservation
of the Union this subscription is an exponent.
No government supported thus cau fail.
Each one of these letters is more than a set
off to any that a rascally correspondent may
T*rite “ generally discouraging to the North.”
THE POPULAR SUBSCRIBERS.
But the room is fillinc up with depositors,
end we must turn away from these documents
to allow Mr. Cisco to attend to these visitors,
end to study the characters and positions of
the depositors for ourselves. Now it is not
necessary for the depositors to see Mr. Cisco
at all, for they pay down their money at the
Cashier’s desk in tbe outer room, and the cer
tificates are signed by Mr. Cisco and taken out
to them by a clerk. Bat the great majority
of them come into the private room, never
theless. Some from that idiosyncracy which
leads many people to believe that things can
not go rightly unless they see everything
which is done, and which makes folks inspect
their baggage at every station when traveling.
Others, with pleasant old Captain Cuttle’s no
tion, that they had better be on hand in case
they are wanted, and that their presence will
make things easier. Others, with the con
sciousness that they are doing a good action,
and a laudable desire to show themselves to
Mr. Cisco as really the identical persons
who were subscribing amounts which
seem to them almost fabulous. Others,
for curiosity’s sake, or actuated by that un
accountable feeling of nervousness and dis
comfort which always seizes the uninitiated
when engaged in pecuniary transactions.
Others, because they are friends of Mr. Cisco
and like to shake bands with him and say good
cheer. Others, because they feel that by
showing themselves personally to the Sab-
Treasurer, they are, in some sort, giving aid
and comfort to the government of which he
appears to them the representative. Whether
for these, or other reasons, they almost all
come, and sitting quietly in a comer we have
a chance to photograph soma of them.
, There were about one hundred visitors to
day, and their subscriptions ranged from fiity
dollars upward. That short, stout, broad
fared gentleman, dressed richly in black, and
with a gold-headed cane, gold spectacles, aad
a general banking air about him, comes bust
ling into the room from his easy carriage
down stairs, andia evidently a millionaire. He
says “ twenty thousand” quite coolly, and rolls
off to the cashier’s desk hurriedly,but with the
dignity of well-lined pockets. Next comes an
old woman, poorly dressed, bent down by age,
and lookinglike the keeper of an apple stand
or a comer grocery of peanuts and dirty can
dies. What can Sic want there ? Down go
those withered hands into her bosom; trem
blingly they emerge again, grasping an old
stocking, from which she pours upon the ta
ble—a thousand dollars. She has not yet
spoken a word, and while you look at her,
wondering where she can have procured that
amount of gold, the clerk has counted up her
savings, and she makes room for a dapper
little “cash,” who carries a small bag of gold
in his hand mid tries to look unconscious that
he thinks him:elf a shrewd business man,
and imagines he cannot be humbugged. Next
comes a veritable Bridget, with her fifty dol
lars. How in the world could she know of
the loan and cf its advantages? Seeing her in the
intelligence office, or answering her advertise
ment in the JSerald, you would never think of
employing such a creature; but she has her
wits,you see. Mark the shrewdness with which
she watches the making out of her certificates,
ready to buret out in a vehement harangue at
the slightest blunder. Next comes a former
comptroller of this city, now totally blind, and
led in by his daughter. A few words and this
sad couple retire. Here is a negro, a colored
man, an African, or whatever he prefers to be
called, and instead cf the fifty dollars you ex
pect him to subscribe, he puts down over sev
en hundred.and does it with that affected care
lessness and careful affectation which Jerry
Bryant used to mimic so inimitably. Follow
ing him is a lady, sweeping her long trail past
you, and displaying rich diamond nogs as she
ungloves to write her draft. Then comes a
clerk, who subscribes thousands of dollars tor
his employers, and then, after a moment’s hes
itation, one hundred dollars for himself. In
walks an elderly gentleman, evidently from
the country and not la very good health. He
tells Mr. Cisco that he has not left his native
town, in New Jersey, for five years before, but
has taken this long and fatiguing journey be
cause he thinks his country needs his savings.
There go, past the office door, a long process
ion of men and boys, carrying canvass bags
and paper bundles of gold. This is the three
andahalfmilliondoUarßfrouxthebanks. Next
you see a chambermaid with her fifty dollars;
then another merchant with his five thousand;
then a laborer or a mechanic, with his one
or two hundred; then another capitalist, with
his ten or fifteen thousand, and so the loan
comes in by uereon after person. Here is a
man who has one hundred and fifty dollars Vo
subscribe—the estra, fitly t or a friend. It
. ep, i t ta ° Bß Eote 3n <l bis friend’s
fifty endorsed on Die beck,-but he wiU not
hear of tins. The notes must be made out
separately, m spite of the long troubles and
Clio plications Of the double entry, for his
friend wishes his name to appear, also as one
ol those who “ stand by the Union.” Next is
a lady who comes from the back country and
brings a letter of introduction to Mr. Cisco
She wants to know how she is to invest her
money to aid the country. Then comes the
inevitable Irishman and German, who say ex
actly what they do not mean, but whose bus
icess the quick clerks dispatch before the in
explicit, episodical and curiously iatertaagled
story of the depositors is half finished. Here
is a clergyman from the Sixth, avenue, who
says ten words about his business and fitly
about his determination to sustain the gov
ernment. Then comes Bridget, the mechanic,
the apple woman, the lady, the clerk, the
cbamDtrmaid, Patrick, the capitalist, the Long
Island fanner, the Jerscyman, the colored
man, the German, the widow, the clergyman
and people of all classes and conditions, over
and over again, and so the lean is paid in.
THE LOAN RECEIVED.
Going behind the cashier’s counter, now
we see the money received and watch how it
is treated and where deposited. Onthefloor
lying m neaps, each bank’s payment by itself'
is the three and a half millions of dollars we
saw paid in just now. That will be all counted
m the morning, and all deficiencies will be
rectified by the tanks, Iu almost every one
of these payments some bad money will be
found. How it is discovered the counters
cannot ttll you. It Is a sort of instinct with
them, and they are proud that, after years of
practice, they have never yet been deceived.
These gold pieces look and feel all right to
vou, and would pass current anywhere. They
have passed through the banks, you see! Mr.
Cisco, Jr., feels one as it slips through his
fingers, hiding itselt among half a dozen oth
ers. He declares it bad, but cannot tell why
You doubt the correctness of his judgment.
Chip I He has cut it in halves, and there, you
see, that it is filled with platina orsome other
metal, and more than half its value is gone.
These cut pieces are sent back to the banks
to prevent any dispute, and they are always
promptly replaced.
All this money, and that received from indi
vidual depositors,ls placed in a room-like safe,
properly counted, wrapped up and labelled!
Ike cashier flings open a cupboard door and
says there is thirteen hundred thousand dol
lars which the Government has not seen fit to
use yet.” In other cupboards axe hundreds of
thousands more, and bars and bags of silver
and gold lie scattered about with apparent
hcedlessness, but real order. How light your
pccket-book fcttS as you, look upon these
mines of wealth, and how glad you feel that
you are not so rich as to have to take care of
such wealth and have such heavy wdghts
ULOn your mind and heart. Poverty looks
like virtue in the Treasury vaults, and opu
lence seems beggared.
a * W l e S; lle^ e tbe mone 7 remains till it is want

in its circuit through the pockeis of contrac
tors, officials, so'.diera, sailors, mechanics
merchants, manufacturers and laborers back
to tie backs and the Sub-Treasury again. So
that it prove tbe sinews of war to the Govern

be proud that with his purse, if not with his

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Washington, Tuesday, Aug. 27.
The order issued by Gen. McClellan,
restraining the Provost Marshal from giving
passes to members of the press to crossi/mg
Bridge, or to go within the lines of our
camps, was rendered necessary by the im
proper uses made by some correspondents of
the facilities heretofore afforded them. They
obtained information which would be of great
benefit to the enemy, which was transmitted
by man to the newspapers to avoid the cen
sersmp exercised at the telegraph office, I
understand the order will be extended so as
positively to prohibit officers on the Virginia
tide from giving anv information to the news
paper correspondents.
ENCOURAGING DESERTION.
I learn upon good auth* ritv that in George
town a secret association exists, sustained by
contributions froaa secessionists in Maryland
and the District, to tncouruge desertion from
opr aimy. Any dissatisfied, soldier who de
cores to desert, is famished with money and a
salt of citizens’ clothing, in exchange for their
soldiers’ suit, by which they are enabled to
pass the guards ar Washington aad Baltimore.
Efforts are now being made to break up this
organization, and they will probabW prove
successful.
GONE OVER TO SECESH.
Surgeon Ganeslen, formerly in charge of
the Union Hospital at Georgetown, has re
signed. He obtained leave of absence, Mid
went directly to secesh by way of Niagara
Falls, at which place he wrote his resignation,
arffi forwarded it to the Department. He is a
native of Virginia, and assigns as a reason
that he will lose his property in that State, if
he continues longer in the service of the Gov
ernment.
IN THE HOSPITALS.
The weekly report of the number of pa
tients in the hospitals to-day, except the Al
exandria Hospital and the Hospital for Erupt
ive Diseases, shows as follows; There are ia
the E-street Hospital, Washington, one hun
dred and twenty-four; in C-strect, Washing
ton, live-five; in Columbia College, Washing
ton, two hundred and eleven; in the Sem
inary, Georgetown, one hundred and seventy
four ; in the Union, Geoigetowa, one hun
dred and seventy uiae ; total, seven hundred
and forty-three, against six hundred and fifty
seven last week—showing an increase of
eighty-six.
COMMISSIONERS FROM KENTUCKY.
The three commissioners from Kentucky
appointed by Gov. Magoffin to visit Washing
ton, to protest against the violation of the
neutrality of that State by sending troops
into the State, are in the city. Two are se
cessionists, and one a week-kneed Union
man.
THE TWO TEARS’ MEN.
The troubles growing out of the obliga
tions cf the three months or two years men
ot some of the New York regiments are
about settled. The determined stand taken
by the Government against mutineers, sup
ported as it is by the State authorities, has
quieted the murmurmgs, aad the men have
returned to their duties with alacrity. The
rapid arrival of troops from the North, the
numbers of which I am not permitted
to furnish, has renewed their confidence in
the successful issue of the war, and each wetk
shows a marked Improvement in the spirit of
the troops. Not only has the numerical
strength of our forces largely increased, but
bjw forts, intxenchmeats and earthworks in
course of erection on either side of the river
will enable the army when it again takes the
offensive to leave a smaller numb-.-r of troops
to guard the city from an attack witha greater
safety.
REBEL SYMPATHIZERS WATCHED.
Already, through the activity of the Provost
Marsh. 1, General Porter’s department, the
lints of communication with the rebels from
their agents here are almost entirely broken
up. Intercepted correspondence shows how
little they know of the real state of things in
and abont Washington, aad how their camps
ate filled with conflicting rumors in place of
the trustworthy intelligence they formerly
had of our movements. Women, who have
had so much to do with conveying surrepti
tious intelligence are narrowly watched—aud
I may add that there is not a family of rebel
sympathizers residing in the city but is under
the surveillance ot tne Government.
PROPANE RAPSCALLIONS,
Seme profane rapscallions of one of the
New York Regiments the other day perpetra
ted a joke upon their chaplain—a good na
tured, hard shell Baptist. While he was ab
sent, they placed on his table, in his teat,
several packs of cards, a dozen or so of wine
bottles, and a cigar box or two, and carefully
concealed underneath his pillow a pocket
whisky flask, and, to crown all, they nailed to
the tent-pole the four queens taken from one
of the packs of cards. The astonishment ol
the worthy chaplain may well be imagined
when he discovered the profanation of his
tent on his return. Quicker than I can de
scribe it, the bottles and cords were swept
from the table, and the cards thrown several
rocs offi amid the suppressed snickers of a
hundred or two soldiers, who were peeping
from under their tents to watch the result. °
A Guide for the Naval Expedition*
New York, Aug. 29.— The Commercial Ad
vertiser says the Captain of a Maine vessel,
taken by a privateer in May, aad who was al
lowed the largest liberty by the rebels, is
aboard the Minnesota. He obtained valuable
information in regard to the fortifications at
Hatteras Inlet, and doubtless ere this has
guided the naval expedition there, where it
will operate in the redaction cf the batteries.
A Connecticut Traitor Nabbed.
New York, Aug. 29. —EUIs B. Sehabel was
this morning committed to Fort Lafayette as
a Government prisoner, by the Marshal of
Connecticut. He was taken in Litchfield
county, and was organizing aad preaching se
cession and other treasonable doctrines.
Consul to Newcastle.
Washington, Aug. 29.—1t is thought that
Elihu Burritt will receive the appointment as
Consul to Newcastle, England.
More Bis Gann.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle says that the Fort
Pitt works in that city have received an order
for the immediate manufacture of 30 thirteen
inch mortars and 3,000 thirteen inch shells.
These monsters, when finished, will measure
forty three inches exterior diameter, and fifty
four inches extreme length. The bore will
be nearly three feet long, and thirteen inches
in diameter, and the metal fifteen inches thick
in the cylindrical portion, and nineteen or
twenty at the base. They will be supported
on immense cast iron bases, by tmenioas
three and a half inches long and fifteen inches
in diameter. They will wmgh each tight aud
a halftone —17,000 pounds—and will throw a
I shell weighing about two hundred aud twenty
1 pounds.
