WHiT TSEI ARB DOING.
A gentleman just from Texas has pat us
in possession, of a file of papers printed at
different points along the line between
Houston and Memphis, and another bundle
of older dates from Savannah along shore
to Richmond —in all, thirty to forty, com
prising as complete a collection of the con
temporaneous newspaper literature of
the rebel Slates as we have
seen since postal facilities between
the North and South were cut off We
find in them only one line of policy re
commended, one sentiment exhibited, one
cry echoed. They are unanimous for the
war, fierce in their hatred of the North,
and frenzied for the shedding of blood.
Diatribes against 44 Old Abe,” fierce inveo
lions against the violators of the Constitu
tion, and insane threats of blood and con
quest at the expense of the North, with
frantic exultation over the details of the
battles of Bull’s Hun and Springfield, re
lated with laughable exaggerations, are
the staples that are served up by each of
the many papers to which we refer. We
find in almost every one, however, one or
mote letters from the North,' ingeniously
written—some to convey important mili
tary information—some to say that dis
sensions are nrising here among the old
parries, that can be turned to Southern
advantage —some to detail McClellan’s
plans and to arouse the rebels to a sense of
the danger that threatens them. The num
ber of these letters is surprising; and the
extent and accuracy of the information
conveyed in them are evidences of their
genuineness. Now, who writes them? Are
they the men in our Northern cities who
are discouraging the people hy their theo
ries that the Union cannot be restored,
and who are fomenting muuity at Wash
ington and impeding enlistments eveiy-
w here ? To -what extent is this treasona
ble correspondence carried on, if every
secession sheet has its letter-writer in
the North, and every campitsspy? Who
shall know what agencies are actively at
work to pnt the rebel leaders in possession
of the facts that they most desire to learn,
when information that we dare not print
is almost free to every secession dauber
with ir.ks and type. We tell the people of
the North that they are surrounded by
spies and informers; and that some steps
must be taken to weed them out, else we
shall enlist men, organize armies andfight
babies in vain.
SOUTBCEM PATRIOTS.
It is Xiut strange that traitors who began
rebellion with theft, perjury and the be
trayal of confidence should be guilty of the
petty meanness of filching the good names
of honest patriots and brave men. It will
bejitrange, however, if their lying slanders
shall meet with any credence.
The fate of East Tennessee patriots is
100 instructive and too recent to be passed
by in silence. It is not long since the
Knoxville Wldg of "Parson Brownlow
was suppressed by an order emanating
frvm Bichmond. In his last issue the
brave oldman published, with a prescience
which oUy a knowledge of the character
of the villians he had to deal with could
have given him, “ we shall refuse, most ob
“ stinately refuse to the day of our death
“to think or speak favorably of such a
w confederacy as this. * * * We beg
“ all who may come after us and our pa
“ per to credit no secession falsehood that
“ may represent us as having changed our
‘‘ principles from those of mi exalted de-
“ vetion to the old American Union and
“ of undying hostility to those who would
“ perpetrate it&xiissolution.”
It is still more, recent that Messrs. Kel-
son and Bridges, members of Congress j
elected from districts in East Tennessee,
were arrested when on their way to Wash
ington, Mr. Bridges was captured by a
species of Judas treachery that ought to
banish his" 4&Psors from the society of
civilized men. Mr. Nelson was taken to
Richmond, nnd thrown into a prison on
the charge of treason. We are now told
that all these men have recanted and are
loyal subjects of the confederacy. Kelson
has issues an address to the electors of
East Tennessee advising submission.
Bridges is to take service in the Rebel ar
my, and the Parson is to advocate, heart
and soul, the cause his energetic pen so re
cently consigned to the lowest depths.
There is a singular unanimity about
these reports. It is, to say the least
strange that men who so recently, when
speaking and acting for themselves, not on
ly took their lives in their hands and in
great personal peril avowed their undy
ing love of their country,, but bade their
fellow citizens not to believe any stories
their enemies might invent to the effect
that they had changed their views, should
so suddenly have gone over to the rebels.
It is 100 much like the holy inquisition
and its short method ot bringing men to rea
son. We prefer thatthey should speak for
themselves; and until they shall so speak,
when out of danger and unintimidated by
threats, we shall decline to believe in their
defection. We pronounce all statements
to that effect deliberately coined false
hoods; a part of that grand scheme of
tyranny and suppression, by means of
which this wicked rebellion has been car
ried on. We have no doubt whatever that
those loyal men whose names we have
cited are os good patriots to-day as they
ever were, and we shall not change our
opinion til), we have better authority than
Jeff Davis or the Richmond and Memphis
newspapers.
From file unmistakable evidences of
rebel policy in East Tennessee, we gather {
hopes for the rest of the South. We can
no longer doubt that throughout the South,
not only in the mountain regions of Georgia
and North Carolina, but in the large cities
there arc many loyal patriots. We place
no reliance in the vehement protests of the
Southern prints, that there is no diversity
of sentiment there. Where threats and
violence have tailed to intimidate, the rebels
have resorted to misrepresentation, and,
through the repetition of such falsehoods,
the North has cause to believe that, even
if the rebel Stales are overrun, the Gov
ernment will find no loyal nucleus around
which to re-organize.
The loyal spirit now existing in South
ern Stales will disclose itself whenever
Government shall assure its protection,
and not till then; and when we remember
that the nucleus of loyalty is the only
source through which the Federal power |
can re-establish its authority over the rebel
States after they shall have been conquered
w»v we fed that too much time and too
much ground have been lost already. It
is indeed time the Government began to
do its duty by Its loyal citizens. We read
with pain of their being driven out of re
gions where the presence of any one of
them is worth a regiment to us. If the
integrity of this Union is to be maintained,
it can only be done by protecting the true
men In hostile States; and we join in their
earnest appeal to the Government at
Washington for immediate succor.
We, who have known nothing but a free
government, cannot realize the situation
of those men. It is what used to be the
situation of the liberals at Naples—their
footsteps dogged, their servants bribed,
roles at their elbows, and they distrusting
each other—a horrible situation of con
stant suspicion and danger. “ Order
reigns' * externally, because discontent dare
not expose itself The confederate dispo
sition is too strong for them, and they can
only hope in silence for the day when it
will be finally and forever overthrown.
When discovered, their spirits are broken,
if practicable. They are plundered, tor
tured and impressed, and the tenderest
mercy ever shown them is the liberty to
depart in nakedness and poverty. When
Gro. lyon retreated from southwestern
Missouri, he was followed by a long train
of homelese families, whom that noble
soldier generously gave his life to protect
M I pity the Union men of Southern Mia-
41 sourisaid he. 44 My force is too small
“to protect them from being massacred,
41 robbed, and their families dishonored. I
u can’t save them, but I’ll fight and do my
“best.” His death and the evacuation of
Southern Missouri were the results ot offi
cial mismanagement. The loyal citizens \
of Tennessee, who have fled in their naked- 1
ness to seek a refuge in Kentucky, move
us with admiration at their heroic forti-;
tude, and with bitterness that the nccessi- 1
ty of such an exodus should exist. Their |
heroism is worthy the brightest pages of;
Hugenot and Puritan persecution and ex-1
ile. Their devotion to their country is so !
tender and so pure, it challenges the cyni- i
cal criticism which finds nothing but sel- j
fishness in our money-loving age. Said ;
one old man, 44 They told me I must sup
-44 port Jeff. Davis or leave the country.
44 For sixty years I have looked up to the
44 stars and stripes,-(pointing to the banner,) i
44 and if the Lord lets me, I intend to look |
44 up to them for six*y years longer.”
These loyal and brave men are entitled
to the immediate and powerful protection
of the Federal Government. The treatment
they have received is in striking contrast
with the treatment of tiie friends and ad
vocates of the rebelmm at the North.
They are suffered to play the spy and to
tamper with Government servants. Only
last week over two hundred of them were
reported to be in Government pay at
Washington. It may be a matter of just
pride to compare the honesty and devo
tion of one class with the contemptible
treacheiy of tho other; but that does not
make any the less bitter the necessity
which compels these icyal men to aban
don their homes to the undisputed posses
■ sion of enemy, while the spies and
5 frknds of the rebellion are holding office
t under the Federal Government
It is time some efficient steps were taken
to protect them. Nothing more disgrace
ful has happened since the beginning of
this rebellion than their exile. Let Major
Anderson at once take vigorous steps to
have the Tennessee and Kentucky Union
ists armed and sustained, or we shall soon
have them flying helpless over the Ohio,
and the fate of Kentucky will be like that
ot Tennessee.
ENOUGH!
The Philadelphia Bulletin properly re
marks, if Mrs. Lincoln were a prizefighter,
a foreign danseuse, or a condemned con
vict on the way to execution, she could
not be treated more indecently than she is
by a portion of the New York press. A
few days since the wife of the President
essayed to go to Long Branch, a retired
watering place of very little note as com
pared with Saratoga, Newport and Nia
gara Palls. Straightway the whole edi
torial corps of the New York Herald
pounced upon her like buzzards. They
flew in at the windows of the White
House. They pursued her from the blue
room to the boudoir. They divided Into
squads and platoons, part of them alight
ing upon her milliners, part on her flun
keys and part on her ostler, while the main
pack flapped their unseemly wings around
Mrs. L. herself from morning till night.
How the poor woman ever got to Long
Branch with all these incumbrances is a
marvel. How she will ever get away
again, without poisoning this intolerable
cohort oi Jenkinses, defies calculation.
The fact is, the Herald has done Mrs.
Lincoln a lasting injury, and we are mis
taken in our estimate of her character if
she is not painfully aware of it. - No lady
of the White House has ever been so mal
treated by the public press. Were Miss
Lane, Mrs. Pierce, or Mrs. Pclk so per
tinaciously dogged and pestered from
door step to depot on their public joumey
ings? Were they so vilely bedizened with
the pinchbeck jewelry of old Bennett’s
eulogium? Not at all. The offence is no
less singular than it is malicious. The
sighs and sneers of sensible people all over
the land, and the mockery of the comic
papers, are the natural consequence. Mrs.
Lincoln is a plain, common sense, Ameri
can wife and mother, and has just as good
a right to travel from Washington to the
Jerseys and back, in peace, as thousands of
her sex who have never stumbled Inside
the Presidential Mansion. Wc are credi
bly informed that she is excessively an
noyed by the odious familiarity of Mr.
Bennett’s menials, and that she is very
anxious to get back to Washington, to set
the example which belongs to her station
in going through the hospitals and looking
after the wants of those wounded men
who have fought to sustain her own and
her husband’s dignity in the eyes of the
civilized world—a worthy desire on her
part, which is only thwarted by the en
treaties and remonstrances of the flunkeys
who dance in her circle, and fancy that J
they acquire some lustre by being her tem
porary satellites. Such an example would
be imitated far and wide. It would be in
keeping with the spirit which pervades the
country. It would inspire the wives and
daughters of America with a new zeal in
those works of devotion and self-sacrifice
which so greatly alleviate the horrors of
war. We implore the tribe of watering
place toadies to let the wife of the Presi
dent alone.
CONFEOEB&TE ALLIES.
The pious and sentimental declaimers,
who breathe out in each puff bad whisky,
profanity, obscenity and objurgation upon
the “vile Abolitionists” who show any
readiness to employ loyal black men in
fighting the battles of the country, are re
spectfully requested to note the following
facts from rebel sources, and then tell us
whether thejmen who employ the batcher
knife and tomahawk upon the Federal
troops, are worthy of the fine-drawn dis
criminations made in their favor.
INDIAN AtFAIES ON THE WESTERN Fron
tieb. —The latest information received as to
the result of the mission of the Confederate
Commissioner, Hon. Albert 6. Pike, to the
Indian nations on the Western frontier, we
find in a letter published in the Fort Smith
Herald of the 10th.
lv T othwithstanding a heavy outside influence,
a treaty advantageous to both parties was
made with the rulers of the Creek nation.
Before entering upon the consideration of the
treaty, it was voted by a unanimous vote of
the Council to go with the South, treaty or
no treaty. The principal men have been true
as steri to the South from the beginning of
negotiation, and the nation ratified their treaty
by a unanimous vote in Council, every town
being represented- Their regiment will be
ready in a lew days, and probably a half dozen
companies more.
About sixty of the Reserve Camanches
(Pocdah Boss,) Wlchitas, Kichais, &c., have
had a talk with the Commissioner. He ex
pects to effect a treaty with the wild Cam.an
chee, who are coming into Wichita Agency to
meet him for that purpose, (as also the Kio
was,) and to settle them all upon reserves.
As soon as the Seminole treaty is signed,
{ Coxumisskmer Bike, with Superintendent
Rector, Agent Deeper, Wm. Qoisenbnry, the
Secretary of the Commissioner, and the others
of the party, accompanied by a deputation of
the Creeks and Seminoles, and a strong escort
of Indian troops, will go to the Wichita
Agency to meet the Reserve Indians and wild
tribee. There is little doubt that at least
5,000 Camanches will be present. —Hichmond

Indian Warriors Eager foe the Feat.—
From the Hon. C. W. Adams, of this county,
who arrived at home a few days since, from
the northern part of this State, we learn that,
on last Monday week, thirteen hundred Indian
warriors—Southern allies—crossed the Arkan
sas river, near Fort Smith, en route for Mc-
Culloch’s camp. These Indians were armed
with rifle, butcher knife and tomahawk, and
had their faces painted, one-half red and the
other black.
We also leam that a regiment of mounted
Texans likewise crossed the Arkansas, at or
near Fort Smith for the earnc destination.—
Helena Shield, 10 th inat
We may be mistaken; but to oar sense
of the fitness of things, a man with a black
skin and a certain degree of civilization of
the Southern sort, is just as humane a foe
as the savage of the frontier in his war
paint; and aid derived from him will be
just as acceptable tops as that given to the
rebels by their allies of the scalping-knife
and tomahawk. When the Wichltas, the
Kichais, the Kiowas, the Creeks, and the
Seminoles, headed by the five thousand
Cam inches, get in the field, and the reports
of their atrocities upon Union men come
to onr ears on every breeze from the West,
the squeamishnesa that drives every black
contraband to the rear lest he should kill
a rebel if left in front,>wiH probably dis
appear ; and the immense service that the
bondmen can render Jhe Federal cause
will be accepted.
Eight Hnodred Wild Indian* let
Loose on Wisconsin** 3
The Indian scare at Helicon, a few days
eince, has had no parallel, as a laughable farce,
since the frogs of Windham, There tea set
tlement of some one hundred Indians twelve
miles north of Eoricon, in the populous
county of Dodge—the feeble remnant of the
once proud Winnebago tribe. They arc nat
urally peaceable, and would never be other
wise were it not for the interference of 44 pale
faces” and the evil influence of fire water. It
seems that a Dutchman killed an Indian’s
pony. The Indian was mad; and as whisky
worked within him be became quite sanguin
ary in his disposition. He sought out the
Dutchman and threatened to kill him. The
latter, terrified at the demonstration, rushed
headlong towards the town, alarming Ms
neighbors, who, as they spread the word from
one to another, magnified it by degrees until
it had increased first to the murder of a whole
family, then to the massacre of a community,
and finally—most singular of oh—to the up
rising of eight hundred Indians for the slaugh
; ter of all Horlcon I It is strange that the
good people of Horicon e waUo wed the greater
story, and were themselves seized with this
senseless panic. But that they did is now
history, and may only be accounted for on the
ground that “Madness ruled the hour.” A
moment’s reflection would have shown them
that azf irruption of Fejee Islanders was quite
as likely as 800 wild Indiana. They armed
themselves, telegraphed the alarm all over
the country. Milwaukee was called upon for
munitions of war, and theastonished officials,
who forwarded them, could solve the strange
problem in no other way than that the Hori
con telegraph operator was drunk. Armed
men arrived at Horicon from all the neighbor
ing towns. Not leas than twenty came from
the town of Hartford, twenty miles distant.
Within twenty-four hours the streets of Hori
con were alive with the preparations of de
fence ; and not till then, when fully 500 citi
zens had shouldered their rifles, was it discov
ered that the Indians were quietly making
their baskets at New England settlement,
with no thought of scalps or scalping-knives,
and that nobody had been or was likely to
be hurt! And so ended the Indian scare.
Politic* of Ohio Colonel*.
There are forty-one Colonels at the head of
Ohio regiments, in camp or field, and of these
eighteen are ranked as Democrats, eighteen
Republicans, three Americans and two whose
politics ere unknown* Of the forty-one, Gov.
Dennison has appointed twenty-three; the
War Department commissioned six, and the
balance were chosen by their own regiments.
Gov. Dennison’s appointments, made upon
pereonal merit and without thought of party
favoritism, are—twelve Democrats, nine Re
publicans, one American and one unknown.
Yet. in the face of such facts as these, the
Ohio Democratic Convention denounced by
resolution that “ unjust discrimination”
against Democrats which consigned them to
fight in the ranks, under incompetent Repub
lican leaders. That was the spirit and Intent
of the resolution; and the same spirit has
been manifested by the party elsewhere
than in Ohio, and with quite as little reason.
We consider it very bad taste, if not a mer
cenary patriotism, to count noses among
either officers or men at a time like this, when
old party lines should be obliterated. But if
one side makes false charges, as the Demo
crats in Ohio have done, it is not ours to re*
join in the same ill-temper. We are for peace
in the North and a vigorous war in the South.

pendent in Manchester, Eng,dated July 30:
The cotton market here is very strong, every
one having at last wakened up to the critical
position of the article, and uncertainty as to
the future supply being available. Should the
American difficulties be protracted, as there
appears #veiy probability they will be, the
effect will be most disastrous to this country,
and we may in this way be drawn into a par
ticipation in the conflict; but lam satisfied
that the Government of England is determin
ed to observe strict neutrality to the last mo
ment, and you must not place much faith in
the hope which appears to be cherished in the
South, that, as soon as the cotton crop is ready
for market, England and France will find
means to force the blockade.
The correspondent in the last paragraph of
the following note enclosing the letter from
which the above is quoted, gives sound doc
trine. He says:
I have just received the enclosed from a

exceedingly applicable at the present time.
From Tennessee#
Two young men recently employed in the
Southern Methodist Publication House at
Nashville,. Tens., bare returned to Philadel
phia, under the force of Jeff. Davis's recent
proclamation of exile. From their report to
the Philadelphia Inquirer we copy the follow
ing statements:
In the storehouses in Nashville, enough ba
con is stored to supply a large portion of the
Southern army during the winter; but all
other kinds of provisions, with the exception
ot com, flour and other home productions,
are scarce and high. Bacon is selling at twen
ty six cents a pound, and coffee at forty live
to fifty cents. Clothing is also difficult to
procure, as are also dry goods. A single
spool ot cotton cannot be purchased At less
than fifteen cents. The stock of shoes is
also giving out, and the only shoe manufac-.
Tory In the city now employs but six bauds,
as it is impossible to procure leather.
The failure of the stock of rags, and also of
chemicals, has given the newspaper publish
ers considerable uneasiness, ana|many o!| the
papers will he compelled to suspend, regard
less of the patronage they may enjoy. Mr.
Whiteman, who has the only paper manufac
tory in the State, says that after the first of
September he will only supply the four prin
cipal papers in Tennessee, and he does not
know how long he can do that. The Southern
Methodist had only enough for two more is
sues. A paper factory in Atlanta, Georgia,
still continues to manufacture a large amount,
but the owner sells it almost all to New Or
leans.

WaseinqtcH, Aug. 28,188 L
Commander Porter improves on acquaint
ance. Id my last letter I stated that he traa a
Virginian, and I feared Mm, with all hia pro*
testations. But I forgot that Commodore
Porter was a Philadelphian. This son was
born in New Orleans, but nails himself a Penn-
sylvanian. He has walked the deckthlrty
c'ght years, and has the Commodore in him,
not only in the blood of his father, of whom
he is justly proud, but in the perfect love of
bis ship, the St. Marj’s,andof command amid
the gnns on the deep blue sea. 1 have enjoyed
several interviews with him, and find him as
decided as any sum I have seen for the flag.
Indeed, when he came to the city, he appeared
to the Secretary of the Navy in a citizen’s
dress, and surprised him by the demand for
an execution, if he was guilty of secession
sentiments; or of an immediate acquittal.
The Secretary heard his story, and promised
to soon give him a ship. The commander is
about 48 years of age, medium height, almost
as round as a jolly tar, wears a full beard, has
a flue eye, and though hesitating a little in
speech, is given to a sailor’s yams, and is very
entertaining. He attributes the forged letter
dated “ March 33,1861,” (which would indi
cate an u April Fool,”) to Colonel Montague’s
instigation—the late Assistant Clerk of the
Senate, but who poisoned the minds of the
Ccnunander’s family, and left for command
in the Virginia army, with Capt. "Porter's son,
on the 21st of April last, all the family of
Captain Porter following—».his wife and
daughter, who arc yet in Virginia. The Cap.
tain sends them an open letter, via Fortress
Monroe, to Richmond, and hopes to see them
soon again.
He thinks the South has determined to over
throw his command in our Navy,because they
found, in the secret history of the Navy Re-
tiling Bill, and at other times, that he would
not serve the purposes of rebellion. The secret
history of that Bill for getting rid of Navy of-
ficers, he gave me at length. The movers in
it in Congress were all Southrons, including
Benjamin, Mallory, Slidell, Morris, Stribling,
Dupfent and others. They first felt of every
prominent man in the Navy, and sounded
them on the question of a Southern Monar
chy, elective in its nature, and to issue titles
of nobility. Two hundred and one were put
aside by the Bill as inefficient. Porter was
one; and for fonr years was he kept out, dar
ing which time he started the American Re
view in New York ciry, and was connected
eleehow with the press. When he was noml
rated again for command In the Navy by the
then President., Slidell opposed his con
firmation in the Senate, charging that
he had insnlted him at Willard’s Ho
tel, by calling him a traitor —as he
had. Old Sam Houston rose, and asked
u Did you then take satisfaction, or demand it
publicly ? if not,” said he, “ yon. ought not
to bring yonr private revenge into this body.”
The Captain was confirmed, and has never
bowed to their behests, and hence their per
secutions. Commodore Ingraham, of Kostza
renown, once called all the officers of his
squadron into his flag ship, Porter among the
rest, and stated that he wanted to sound them
on the question of an Elective Monarchy,
South. Porter told them he should ding to
the Sag his father used and fonght for. About
one hundred and seventy of the naval officers
were retained under the naval bill spoken of,
every one ot whom were of Southern proclivi
ties ; and one hundred and thirty of whom
have since resigned their commands.
At the same time this naval Bill was taking
shape, the unusually large number of guns
was moved to the Norfolk Navy Yard, which
Capt. Porter regards as one of the most im
portant, and to be retaken at any cost, at
once. At the same time, there was opened
at Pensacola an immense coal yard, and every
man in it, as at Norfolk, was known to be a
tool of the South. The Navy Yard in this city
was pnt into the care of Capt. Buchanan, who
was secretary of the Naval Beard; and the
revelations from this Navy Yard have shown
the secession tendencies of the employees.
Pendergrast, who has been put to the block
ade off Virginia, is a brother-in-law of two
strong secessionists in the navy, Blake and
Bacron; and already several of Ids men have
resigned. Meantime, Floyd was arranging
the plans for supplying the rebellion with
arms on land, so that when the navy should
be all right on the sea, the army should be all
right on land. Ship and shore were both
made sure as they could make them. The
time came, and the South struck their blow —
the North all unprepared.
There is one point Captain Porter makes
with great good sense, and where he is a truer
man than many who have questioned Ins in
tegrity ae an officer. He says his plan would
be, to destroy the came of the war by an act qf
emancipation■ for aJX the slaves in the Confederate
States. That is the way it strikes Mm, he says,
who has been behind the scenes, and knows
what this war is for. As for giving up his ship
to the enemy, he had been tried thoroughly by
them \ and at one time, bad he the heart to do
it, he could have taken to them $32,000,000 in
his hold and locker. If his story is made up
for effect, it is a good one, and Ido not won
dertht.the stands well again with the De
paitmmi.
His account of Senator Gwin, and Butter
worth, who was at the shooting of Key by
Sickles, is not very haltering to their loyalty,
and shows that hire. Gwin,having been arrest
ed, her husband ought to be not long separa
ted from her. The Captain had a particular
friend In a young lady at San Francisco. w I
wish,” said he to her, “to find out what Gwiu
and Butterworth think of secession.” “1 will
help you,” said she, “for you know if the
devil wishes to catch a man, he always sets a
woman after him.” She sat down one day in
the presence of these gentlemen, with some
silk, and made a small secession flag and
pinned it upon her bosom. Gwin and Batter
worth were delighted, invited her to dance
that evening with it on, and introduced her to
their set. Gwin told her he was going to sell
all his property in California and take an of
fice in the army in Tennessee! Butterworth I
is of the same stripe. These two lately came i
out bold enough to arrange for a meeting to
favor the Southern Confederacy. O there were
pnt forward In the meeting, and it is well they
were, for the Union men, going out, loaded
themselves with spittoons and stone and
broke up the meeting, and half broke the
heads of the men engaged in it. Where is
the United States Marshal for California?
Gwin & Co. are wanted at Fort Lafayette to
keep Mrs Gwin and Mayer Berrett company.
There was a rumor on the street last night
that there was a stormy time in the Cabinet
meetingyesterday. It was understood that It
grew out of the mission of the Boston bankers
who are here, and of the New York bankers
-who are coining, who demand a change in the
Cabinet officers having command of the war.
Mr. Seward is away to his. home in Auburn.
What the result is of the trouble in the Cabi
net does not yet appear, but had Mr. Lincoln
as good men abont him as he himself is, there
would soon be a new order of things in army
matters. J. W. R.

ICarrespondence of the Chicago Tribune.] j
Cairo, Aug. 29,1861.
The troops of this Brigade are being re
clothed as fast as may be, with the splendid
new uniforms manufactured by Houghton,
Sawyer & Co., of Boston, under the contract
of Oliver M. Shannon, Esq. And in this day
of speculation and peculation, shoddy and
cheap contract work, it does one real pleasure
to notice the superior excellence of the cloth
cut of which these uniforms are made, and
the substantial manner in which they are put
together. The dress uniforms are made of
extra gray army cloth, and the undress (fa
tigue,) of a firm, mixed cotton cloth. The
style of the uniform, unlike the one just cast
away, is certainly becoming and tasty. The
coats for cavalry, artniery, and infantry are
similarly made, only that the trimming for
infantry is olive, for artillery red, and for cav
alry yellow.
Col Oglesby’s Regiment (the Bth,) on pa
rade last evcnlngfpresented a fine appearance,
and I am very sure that a more stylish dress
could hardly have been procured.
Messrs. Houghton, Sawyer <k Co., have fur
nished some 10,000 uniforms for the Brigade,
and there is no possible fault to find with the
maimer in which they have performed their
contract
Shoes for the Brigade are furnished by Ben
edict, Hall & Co., of New York, whose agent,
Vine Bennett, Is now here, managing the sup
ply. Over 15,000 pairs of army brogans have
been manufactured tor the Brigade, and com
petent judges pronounce the shoes made of
first quality leather, and put together in dura
rable shape.
So, when again your readers come to Cairo,
they will not find our boys “bobbin round” in
short, coarse jackets—knees out, colors fly
ing and toes protruding, hut in elegantly trim
med body coats, and with neat fitting shoes,
nicely blacked, they will be remarked the
gayest of the gay, promenading (vulgarly cal
led marching) the parade of Camp Defiance.
How long—oh, how very long—have the boys
waited, watched and prayed lor the coining of
this, the day of their re-clotheratloo. Audits
here at length with '‘duds” so jaunty that the
“bold soldier boy” can hardly contain himself
much less the uniform contain him.
"While writing of the superior outer provis
ion that has been made for this Brigade, per
mit me to refer (and it is an interesting refer
ence) to one of the provisions for the inner
comfort of the man. A H. Lozare, Esq., of
Quincy, is the sole contractor for famishing
the flour and bread for the brigade. There
are but comparatively few soldiers here now,
but as it Is, there 8000 4% pound loaves of
bread every day baked for their use. Mr. La
zue is about to erect fine, large building, with
ovens capable of turning out nine to twelve
thousand loaves doily. Since Mr. L. has had
the exclusive contract, and has himself fur
nished the flour, the bread has been invaria
bly up to the standard and more than ever sat
isfactory to the soldiers.
Heretoiorethe Government has famished
the flour, the contractor getting pound per
pound for his labor in baking; but under the
new arrangement, he gets so much per pound
i for the bread—is stopped from throwing the
fault of bad flour on outside parties, and to
forced to provide first class material out of
• which to make hto “goods.”

and it is Capt. Abbott’s purpose to immediate*

time yon may be certain the “ Cairo Home
Guard” will be up to any of our “ regulars” in
military maneuver.
CoL Morgan, of the Tenth regiment* absent
for a few weeks past on business connected
-with the reorganisation of his command, re
tained last evening. The Colonel has met
with gratifying success in procuring the neees*
fitly recruits. Already there are six com*
panics, each about foIL on the ground, and in a
short time it is expected that all the necessary
companies will be here. There Is room, how*
ever, for one more company, and if in any part
ol the State there Is some organization about
fall, the parties interested will do well to
make immediate application for admission
into t-Wa excellent regiment* Capt Herostait,
Aid-de Casnp at Headquarters in Cairo, will
answer letters of inquiry on this subject.
During CoL Morgan’s absence, Capt C. S.
Skely, of company G, has been, in temporary
command. I witnessed, the swearing iu of
Capt SkeJy’s new company, by the by, the
other evening, and lam bound to say that a
finer appearing set of men never yet organ
ized for the defense of our flag. The First
Lieutenant of the company is A. Wood, and
the Second Lieut, Wm. Morgan, (son of Got
Morgan.)
The loih regiment, CoL Lawler’s, has moved
from Bud’s Point to Mound City, where, in
new quarters and better location, it is thought
that the health of the command will improve.
The boys of the 18th have had a hard time of
it, the past two or three weeks. They have
been prostrated with disease by the hundred,
and the day of their removal they had actually
over 300 on the sick list. There is no telling
certainly the cause of so much sickness. Phy
sicians differ about the matter—some attribut
ing it to ovez work on the entrenchments, some
to- want of proper clothing, and some to a
want of camp cleanliness and attention to per
sonal habits. Be tee case as it may, the
amount of sickness and suffering has been al
most unparalleled, and if their change of lo
cation brings about no improvement, the reg
iment will prove of little use in the war. I
feel confident, however, that the new location
will prove of every advantage, and that very
soon tee brave boys of the loth will again be
on a “ war footing.’V
Tuesday morning five scouts from Capt.
Bnirill’s White County Cavalry were out on
the Rush Ridge road, five miles below camp,
reconnolterisg. At'*'a turn in tee road they
came suddenly on a large body of rebel caval
ry, thought to be fifty or sixty iu number.
The rebels charged and fired, and the Federals
turned and fledior the camp, where in course
of the day four of teem arrived—two with and
two without homes. The two coming in on
foot only escaped by abandoning their horse?
and taking to the cornfields and woods. One
of their number named Bolin, of White coun
ty, is supposed to have been made prisoner,
as nothing has since been heard of him. Im
mediately the mounted fugitives got into
esmp, a detachment of infantry and Capt. Bur
iill’s cavalry, were ordered out in pursuit of
the rebels, but after a march of six or eight
miles they were forced to return without get
ting sight of the enemy.
A member of Capt Hopkins’s Artillery
Company got into a melee on Thursday
in tee course of which he stabbed a fellow
soldier, Yesterday a squad of men from the
9th Regiment arrested the rioter, and while
doing so, the fellow resisting, they most bru
tally beat and maltreated him. Consequence
—bad soldif r is about to die from his wounds.
The boys of Company A, Chicago Artillery,
ore well supplied in the way of “ help.” They
have three “contrabands” in camo, unto
whom, with exceeding cleverness, they extend
•assurances of a most gracious protection.
They are clever institutions, the boys say,
very handy abont the stables and the horses,
and will likely be prevailed on to stay over
till the war is finished.
We are in the midst of rumors about the
rebels at Sykeston and at Benton, and
about their movements. The whole thing
can be written up. however, in a very
few words. Pillow’s main body is now
at Sykeston, strongly entrenched. Jeff,
Thompson is at Benton, also entrenched.
The two forces are pretty well supplied with
light cannon, and Pillow’s men are well cloth
ed and well armed.
Since the Charleston afia : r, they hare never
approached our lines in any force, and at Ben
ton and towards Commerce they seem to be
drawing in their horns. It may be but the
lull belore the storm, but the indications now
are ttat unless the rebels are victorious in an
engagement with the column under Gen.
Prentiss (for the, meeting of which I believe
Pillow and Hardee are each straining every
nerve),the positions at Bird’s Point and at
Cape Girardeau will never be assaulted by
them. Mark my prediction, there will be no
fighting either at Bird’s Point or Cairo.
In Monday’s Tribune I am made to say that
Hr. Sim, our excellent brigade surgeon, is
the Medical Director at tbte post. Only your
printer’s mistake, however, Jailing to put the
t&tee letters on the name of Sim. Dr. Simons,
for twenty years past a surgeon in the XT. S.
Army, is the Medical Director of this post.
The gun-boat Tyler returned from a trip up
to Commerce and Cape Girardeau yesterday.
The Lexington is still stationed at the former
place, but the rebels “ don’t want to,” and
their boat’s grinders can get no chance to try
the efficacy of their 325 and 645.
It is understood that the Hon. John A. Lo
gan’s regiment—in course of formation—has
been ordered torendezvons at this place.
Last evening three companies came in from
Springfield on the eight o’clock
train, belonging to.Gel. Logan’s regiment. It
Is certainly gratifying to notice the pride and
rfjthusiasm- With which Egyptians rally to
tee formation of this regiment. The Hon.
John A. could as easily raise a half dozen as
one regiment, so high is he held in the esti
mation of the people of this Congressional
district. '
Forty muskets and a bos of cartridges—
thirty rounds for each gun—were furnished
the Unionists of English Island on yesterday.
They are making preparations for giving a

[Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.]
Cairo, August 23.
Having just passed from the north part of
the State to this point, I will tell yon what I
have seen on the route. As fer south aaabout
Wapello, I found the crops on the ground
looking splendidly, and If no early frost spoils
the promise, Northern and Central Illinois
will have the beet crop of com ever known.
From about Wapello to Pana the crops have
suffered a little from the drouth, and from
Pana to below Centralia, in that poorest por
tion of Illinois, they have suffered greatly, Be
low Tam&roa the crops of wheat, corn, and in
fact of all kinds, are good—unusually so. The
fruit crop is wondenul, and com and wheat
much better than usual.
All along the route I found the Union feel
ing strong, mid Egypt is apparently much
more active than the north in getting into the
service of the Government. A cavalry com
pany took the cars on Saturday at Du Quoin
for Springfield. John A Logan is doing good
work for the Union cause. Ou Saturday he
addressed a large crowd at Tamaroa. He will
take his regiment in a few days to Springfield.
At Pul asm there is a company ready, or
nearly so, to start, Egypt, with a few excep
tions, is sound on the Union question. Ma
non, Williamson county, is said to be fall of
secessionists, and a Union man is hardly safe
there. The county is, however, largely
Union. I think Logan could do better ser
vice on the stump for the next three Tyirmtha
tban in the “tented field.”
This city appears to be given over to the
mililaiy, Uncle Sam’s uniforms being largely
predominant. There are but lew troops here
at present, and these mosly raw recruits.
Through the politeness of a military friend I
was furnished with a pass to Bird’s Point.
Every thing there, with one exception, looked
ship shape and Bristol fashion to a civilian
like myself. The one exception was the con
dition of the 18th regiment, (Col. Lawler’s,)
I was informed that 300 of tha* regiment were
on the sick list or unfit for duty, and it is not
at all to be wondered at. They have as yet
received no pay, and have been famished
with no clothing by the United States
authorities. They have had from the
State, one pair thin linen pantaloons and
one shirt each,’ and one half-blanket—the
blanket having been in use before by the “ 3-
months men ” and was turned overt© the 13th
dirty and some ragged. I heard a sergeant of
the regiment say that cne of the cold nights
about two weeks ago he had six men under
biro out all night as guard, and not one of
them had a coat or anything to protect him
from the rain. On being asked why they did
not use their blankets for a covering, the an
swer was, “ Werhad only them to keep us out
of the mud while we were lying down. Is it
any ■wonder they Are sick f Who is to blame ?
I understand CcL Lawler is himself sick and
unable to attend to the matter. It is not
alone from the sight of the men myself and
hearing their own story that I learn the above,
buf I heard it from so many sources that there
can be no doubt of its truth. It Is but justice
to say, however, that the 18th regiment ap
pears to be the only one there not well sup
plied with everything that could be expected.
AB the way down the Central Road curses
loud and deep were being hurled at the head
of Secretary Cameron, and hopes expressed
that President Lincoln would soon Hfamiaa
him. c.

Am Explanation.
Editor Chicago Tribune;
I notice an article in your issue of Friday
morning from the Freeport papers, giv
ing account of certain proceedings at Davis,
where I am rnade to figure somewhat con
spicuously as a secession sympathiser, on ac
count of uttering my opinion freely on Nation
al matters. 1 am no secessionist, and never
have been; but have always believed in doing
with the South according to the Constitution,
and let their institution alone—so far as they
acted in good faith with us—but think, per
haps, differently from many others in regard
to the best course to be now pursned by oar
Government. I think the South should
be. severely punished for their ac‘s,
so far, and made to pay for all the
property stolen from the government or
destroyed by them and their army, and then
driven out of the Union. I think if they are
again admitted to participate in onr national
councils, it will not be more than a few years
before we shall have another civil war, and I
for one, hope we may get rid of all the dis
affected at once, after administering proper
chastisement, and therefore I say I
would divide off from the South,
rather than bring them back as they
were before, and making the south, line o£
Virginia and Kentucky the division line, and
let us have a free Government without slaves,
and a Northern Free Republic, and when a
slave crosses that line let him be free forever,
and allow no slave owner or agent to come
here to get back their slaves. If we force
them back as they have been, we will have
such men as Breckinridge, Davis and WigfaU
in our National Legislature again, to help
make and carry out the laws. Will they do
differently from what they have done ? I
thick not. I say let us let the institution go,
and let us have a free Government without
slaves, and let the world know that we are
fighting for freedom.
In regard to the affair at Davis, a lot of fel
lows full of whisky did me the honor to escort
me around for awhile, but as I would not fur
nish them more of the article, they concluded
it would not pay, and retired from my service.
G. R. Bills.
Tl by Should We Trust McClellan ?
A writer in the Philadelphia Inquire r, evi
dently an army officer, asks this question, aad
answers it satisfactorily, thus:
And now, Mr. permit a few closing re
marks in connection With your ownveryjustly
discriminating article, “ Why we should trust
McClellan, I*’ 1 *’ in the Inquirer, August 15th, 186 L
In one or those remarkable monologues of
Napoleon at St. Helena, which have been pre
served by De Montholon and others, he is
made to say, in speaking of himself “my
trade (mon Hat) is that of a soldier. I know
everything that pertains to it If lam in want
of gunpowder, 1 can direct the mode of manu
facturing it. In line, I am conversant with
everything that goes to the composition and
movements of an army—from the making of
the soldiers’ shoes, to the planning and car
rying ont a campaign.” This was no idle
boast. It was literally in accordance with
Napoleon’s past history. Some English writer
sneers at the Great Captain for having dicta
ted, among other details for a small expedi
tion in Spain, that each soldier should carry
with him two pairs of shoes of a particular
make. Yet the great oracle of the English
nation on military matters, the D .-ke of Wel
lington, when asked when a General was no
longer fit for the field, replied, “ When he is
no longer able to ride hard, and look after
everything himself”
Tried by the standard laid down by these I
two high authorities, we shall find abundant '
grounds “ why we should trust McClellan.” In
the first place, his military education, both
theoretical and practical, is superior to that
with which either Napoleon or Wellington
commenced their respective military careers.
Those who are well read on military topics
know how greatly inferior the school of Bri
enne, at which Napoleon received his early
training, and those private semi-military
schools on the Continent, in one of which
Wellington acquired his military rudiments,
were to the military schools of Europe of this
day and to our own Military Academy. With
respect to all the fundamentals of the military
profession, Gen. McClellan’s acquirements are
not only good but remarkable. He is a com
petent engineer, a competent artillerist, a
competent infantry officer, a competent cav
alry officer, and more conversant with army
organization in all its details than any officer
in onr service, because his opportunities, in
his European mission, and his having made
this a specialty, have been better than any offi
cer we have. * * * *
It is not intended here to place McClellan,
as yet untried In handling a large army, in the
same category with the great captains above
referred to; the purpose is merely to state im
portant facts bearing on his fitness for the po
sition he now holds. When the British Prime
Minister wanted Wellington to make a milita
ry and tope graphical reconnoissance of Portu
gal, he declined, and frankly stated his incom
petency for such a duty. It was a specialty to
which his attention had not been directed.
McClellan has performed a similar duty, of a
far more difficult character, with the fullest
success. It is well known that Wellington I
was indefatigable in the saddle and in the bn- |
reau, and saw to everything himself. In these
respects, McClellan Is equally noted. Blessed
with the mens eana in corpmre \sano, he will
keep the saddle from early dawn till midnight,
in all weathers; return to his office, not to
brief military business alone, bat to endure
that worst waste of the soldiers time, patient
listening to the interminable harangues of
politicians, covering their petty schemes by
lip patriotism, and soundly civilian projects
for conducting the nest campaign.
McClellan is called the Young General. So
he is beside the august, venerable and most
sagacious Nestor, now his only military supe
rior. But he is now in his pride of strength
as of place. Napoleon was but tw< nty-seven
when nis greatest campaigns were carried out;
Wellington was forty when he received the
chief copimand in Portugal; Scott hut twenty
seven when he had won the highest of onr
military grades. And if we consult history
we find that the greatest captains showed
their capacities at equally early periods. The
“ octogenarian chief, the blind old Dondolo,”
will do for the council, or give a point to song;
but for the battle-field we must trust in one
who can ride hard, see and judge of everything
himself. If antecedents go for anything, the
country may trust, then, in McClellan.
Crops in England.
[Correspondence N. T, Commercial Advertiser.]
London, Aug, 14.
A feeling of universal buoyancy now pre
vails in England, in consequence of the cir
cumstances under which, the harvest is pro
gressing. This is the critical time of the whole
season, and for an entire week we have had
undisturbed sunshiny accompanied by an uni
versally high temperature. Nothing, there
fore, could be more magnificent than the ap
pearance of the fields, and in all parts the
crops are being gathered in as fast as possible.
In each case, they promise to surpass recent
expectation?,and there now seems little doubt
that although the breadth of wheat sown was
smaller than usual, owing to the unfavorable
wtather last Autumn,our total supply of food,
taking all crops together, will be beyond an
average.
To estimate the satisfaction created by this
prospect, we must look to the despondent
feelings that were prevalent in the Winter,
when there was certainly good reason to fear
that under any circumstances the harvest must
be but an indifferent one, and that consequent
ly it was merely a question of degree as to the
extent to which the pressure caused by the
disastrous season of 1860 would be continued
or increased*
The only drawback experienced has been in
potatoes, but even In that case the supply is
expected to be far from deficient, compared
with former years, in consequence of the qual
ity sown. It is likewise to be remarked that'
although a week ago the accounts from all
parts indicated that the old disease was exten
ding rapidly, these statements have not been
repeated during the last few dafs.
The quotations in the wheat market, how
ever, do not show any further severe reduc
tion, as the prospects of France are not so
good as our own, and there have been steady
purchases in London on French account.
CoMltton of the Navy.
Six months ago our vessels were scattered
all over the world, and there were but one
hundred and ninety-seven available seamen on
board our receiving-ships.
To-day there are at least two hundred pen
nants afloat, and eighteen thousand seamen to
defend them. We owe thia improved condi
tion of the navy in great part to the exertions
of the members of the Bureau of Detail and
Discipline at Washington, selected by the
present Secretary for their talent and expe
rience. We allude to Commodore Paulding,
Commodore Davis and Commander Woodhull,
men of tried worth and experience, who have
brought order out of chaos, and proved them
selves equal to every emergency.
We understand that the Connecticut will
sail in a few days from the Navy Yard, on a
cruise along the coast, visiting every station
and carrying supplies of all kinds for the fleet,
audio co-operate in the active movements
which may be shortly expected to'be made
against the ports of the enemy. If we have
any fault to find with this vessel, It is that
she needs two heavier guns than she now car
ries, which we hope will be Immediately pro
vided. Her commander is one of fee most
daring and skillful young officers In the ser
vice, and, like Decatur, only asks for oppor
tunity.—-A. T. Commercial,
The Washington correspondent of fee Phil
adelphia Inquirer says':
Considerable merriment was created to-day

Afternoon Dispatches.
From Wuhligton tad the Seat of
'War*
i [New York Times Dispatch.]
Washington, Aug. 29.—General Scott ex
pressed his opinion to-daythat the rebels
most make an attack on onr lines at an early
day.
information from the rebel army say* there
are large mtmbers of rebels in and about Man
assas, scattered on the lines of roads leading
to .Richmond and toward Strasburg. There
has been much sickness among these men,
owing to the wet weather and a deficiency of
dcthirg and tent equipage. They are short
of everything except wheat, flour and
com, of which they have an abund
ance. The men were very restless, and there
was no discipline. They were highly elated
with the saccess at Bull Run, and so confi
dent of their ability to thrash the “ abolition
ists” that, they imperatively demanded to be
led to Washington. It is probably in obedience
to this requirement that they are now being
paraded along our lines.
An intercepted letter from Columbus, Ga.,
of recent date, shows that New York papers
are received at that point within from ten to
twelve days of the date of publication, and
farther that the rebels are basing their move
ments in the lower tier of States on the sup
posed intention of the designs of the military
authorities here, as developed by the sugges
tions of the Northern press.
Secretaries Blair and Cameron have signified
tin ir intention to remove every person from
their Departments against whom a charge of
disloyalty may be brought by the Investiga
ting Committee.
[Herald Correspondence.]
The enemy have not only re-established
their old line of pickets as before the battle
of Bull Run, but have actually entrenched on
the territory formerly held by us, nearly half
a mile nearer our line of fortifications. They
now occupy several important stratagetical
points, on which they are throwing up fortifi
cations. On Munson’s Hill the enemy is con
structing works, and have now a temporary
battery of rifled cannon, from which, for the
last, few days, they have kept up a desultory
fire on our troops at Bailey’s Cross-Roads.
Along the route referred to the enemy has
several depots of supplies and reinforcements,
and at least three new fortifications, and prob
ably double that number concealed and un
der construction. The enemy’s force at Mun-
son’s Hill consist of 700 cavalry, 1,000 in
fantry, and 3 pieces of fl-ld cannon.
A gentleman arrived here to day from Rich
mond via Louisville, Ky. He has spent sev
eral weeks in Virginia, and visited the lines
of the rebel army. Be estimated the number
now in arms in Virginia at nearly 300,000, and
the force on the Potomac alone at 180,000.
Since the first of June immense quantities of
arms, purchased in the East, have been carried
into The State, through Baltimore, and their
whole army is now well armed.
Manassas Junction has been virtually aban
doned, there being only a guard left there to
look after the gnus of the batteries. The prin
cipal body of their forces has been pushed for
ward to the Upper Potomac, to be thrown
across into Maryland, for which purpose a col
umn of 20,0C0 is prepared with pontoon
bridges, upon which they can cross at any
point they find the least defended. They are
determined to make an attempt to get Mary
land into their possession; they believe that
will ensure their ultimate possession of Wash
ington and all the immense accumulation of
supplies here, thus enabling them to transfer
the war from the Potomac to the Susquehan
na, and secure to them the recognition of Eu
rope. This programme has been decided
upon.

Tha fe»hftnoe«roa Excitement at La
Cro«M-The Animal Cased.
[FroiC the La Crosse Democrat, Aug. S3.]
The rhinoceros lately belonging to Dan
Rice, which was lost In the river while en
route to this city from Prairie du Chien,
is still in the slough five miles below here,
where .he was when our paper was
icsned on Monday. He has been out
of the water four times since then,
confining his depredations to the cornfield of
Henry Monger, adjacent to the slough.
Messrs. Monger and Wrightson, who were so
"badly scared oy the monster on Sunday last,
assisted' by several sportsmen from this city,
fixed a platform in the branches of the tress
under which the animal passes coming in
and going out of the water, from which
they suspended ropes, so that when it came
out to feed, they could get a slipping noose
over its head. Three large ropes were attached
to the limbs of tne trees, and five men were
stationed on the platform to manage them.
After waiting three hours yesterday, the mon
, ster waddled out of the slough, snuffed the
air, shook the w atcr from his eyes, and with
heavy tread clambered up the bank toward
the cornfield. As he passed under where the
men were stationed, they succeeded in getting
one of the nocses over ms head, hut coulduot
tighten it till the rope was around his body,
"mien, with a sudden cry of surprise, followed
by a so;t of bellow, he wheeled and made for
the water. The single rope was useless, as it
broke the large limb of the tree to which it
was attached, causing the men to come tum
bling to the ground, while the monster rushed
for the water, with sixty odd feet of inch rope
attached to its body.
gDan Rice has sent an agent to superintend
its capture, who will give two thousand dol
lars to the party who will capture it alive.
Long poles have been firmly planted in the
bed of the elcugh, so that the animal cannot
escape by eny possibility. When the cage
sank, it pulled loose, as its nose is badly lac
erated fre-m the giving way of the muscle in
which the ring was fixed.
The farmers in that vicinity are in great fear
and insist that a cannon shall be sent them
with which to forever stop the roaring of this
Behemoth of the antedeluvian age, but the
egent of Dan|Rice will not yet consent, as the
animal is worth, alive, $20,000. Thousands of
people visit the place daily, in Hope to aid in
the capture of such game, which" is a trifle
larger than the country usually affords.
Tlic Sixty-Ninth Betimsit Beorgnn*

It is now considered certain that the Slxty
1-inth (Irish) regiment will reorganize for the
war sed form a part of an Irish brigade to be
commanded by General Shields. It is under
stood that the colonelcy of the Sixty-ninth
will be accepted by Captain Thomas Francis
Meagher. The work of recruiting has been
commenced, and inasmuch as a majority of the
officers are willing to return, the prospect is
good feat the “ gallant Sixty-ninth” will soon
