gUjicago tribune. THUBSDAY, AUGUST 2T, 1803. TEE ENROLLMENT. The secession organ of this city, which sever is in iavor of any measure tending to the success of the Union cause,has seiz ed upon the refusal of the enrolling offi cers of this district tp submit their retnms to a self-constituted committee of the Council, as another pretext for its secession diatribes. It assumes the fact that because the enrollment Is in excess of the yote of the city, there has been monstrous fraud perpetrated, and urges with-all the bitter ness and directness it dares to use, insist ence to the dralt when it shall take place. The refusal of the enrolling officers to Submit their returns to this Copperhead Committee of political Paul Ftyß was tmincnUy proper. They are required to y.to their returns to the Provost Marshal General at -Washington, not to Conuaky, Huberts & Co. The officers, throughout their canvass, although beset with difficul ties innumerable, and opposed in * some instances bj armed resistance, have acted with the utmost spirit of iaimess and im partiality, and have even exceeded the hounds of their official instructions to se cure correct results. An alphabetical list Was drawn off, and public announcement made through the papers when and where the lists could be found lor examination and correction. In this way the lists could he made complete, and the public could gee that the work was done fairly and sat isfactorily. The time for examination was ample and the opportunities for correction sufficient The limit expired, the rolls passed out of the hands of the public into the possession of the Government, and then, when all hopes’ of further hindering the Government through the agency of their deluded followers were at an end, the Copperhead leaders with an impudence which would be refreshing did it not threaten serious results, demanded from the officers scaled documents which they had no warrant to exhibit One of the principal allegations of the Secession concern is that the enrollment is in excess of the last municipal vote of the city. It 'would be singular if it were not It is safe to estimate that at least ten per cent of the legal volets do not vote at all, but necessarily all of them must be enroll ed. Ten per cent more may be estimated for immigrants who have not yet declared their intentions to become citizens. A huge per ccntage of foreign citizens who have declared their intentions, have not taken out' their second papers, and of these there is an immense number as the books of the Court Clerks will show. Again the population of the city has been materially swollen by the increase of the native bom, by Southern refugees, and by young men between twenty and twenty one, all of whom were liable to enrollment . but not qualified to vote. Add to these the colored men of the city who cannot vote, and will not any candid man allow that the small ex cess ofß,ooo over the vote is easily account ed for f IVe might also urge another point' .although; extraneous to the subject that . the excess of the enrollment over the vote - is the heaviest in tire Republican wards- The Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,. Eighth, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth wards gave Democratic majorities last spring, and - in these watds the enrollment is not thirty per cent over the vote, while in the Repub lican wards the excess is fifty-three per cent. . Ai far as the allegations of the secession organ are concerned they arc hardly worth argument to answer them. Their object is not to obtain correct lists but springs from opposition to the Conscrip tion Law, and are urged, to foster a spirit of mob law and violence. They do not believe in any measure which is liable to crown the Union cause with success. They know that the reinforcement of our nrmics in the field will cause the immediate overthrow of the Confederacy, end the war and rain the prospects of the Copper head party. Hence the desperate efforts to breakup the Conscription and the evi dent design to provoke a jot in this city. The design however will not succeed, and the secession organ will not be gratified in its desires. The; draft will be enforced upon the basis of the present enrollment list, whether examined by Comlsky, Boberts&Co. of not SLAVERY AND POLITICS. The following occurs in the course of a labored editorial in the New York linns .* 44 Whatevertolerationmny he cxerclsed-bj the freeStalee towards slavery as a social aud-indna trial institution, itiriH rccelrc none hereafter as an spplr*"* for political power. The slavebolding aristocracy* eranrtaiiy broken, as a political class been destroyed by the lebciien. Political power in the Southern States win pass Into other bands, ud slaverr. as a political clement, has to he formidable. Whoever, therefore, iaUfi to do everything he can toward restoring the Union, from fear of its effect npou slavery not only sacrifices a groet and paramount interest to one of minor importance, hnt laQs to calculate wisely the effect of his action upon slavery itself,” The answer is easy: Slavery is not an entity like Jeff. Davis; it depends upon re lations; and though it is easy to say or write that the political power of slavery is destroyed, as long as the relations of the different races are unsettled, elaveiy with all its powers remains a fact which the change of ownership of the slaves them selves docs not diminish.- It Is true that the ** slave-holding aristocracy is financially broken”; hnt who comes in possession of their effects? Will not the new aristocracy have the interests, passions and crimes that have destroyed the old? Why not an end at once by setting the slaves free? ________ - BECOKSTEVCTION. The time for the discussion of the terms of reconstruction will come when the ene my is defeated and subdued. “Catch your hare before you cook it,” is a maxim in the culinary art that is not without its' application to this attempt to “cook up” a rc-unlon before the rebels are in condition to ask it. But let us say, in advance, that whatever the nature of the dish presented Xor our acceptance by these political pot hlewcrsfwe insist that the poison of slavery shall not be in it. It may be an umble pie that wc arc to cat; but let it be'that and nothing dse. Anything but a re introduction of the virus of man-selling and womcn-whipping into the body politic! Tnr PKOSPECXSOF THE FKEED JOEN. The negroes at Port Boyal ore likely to proven colony of apt scholars m the humanities of civilization.' They have been set to work upon the land, under -what seems to he a wise Supervision,: and they already understand, as well as white folks, the difference between working for nothing and working for pay. Many of them are growing cotton, as well as com and other staple products of the soil; and not* few have’what they never knew the sight or value of before, namely, a good pile of greenbacks, all their own, to spend in the comforts as well as the necessaries of life. It is curious to observe how readi ly they fall into the habits'and customs of the whites—and now they .are beginning to set good store by their ebony persons, and provide themselves with the best of every thing,- so ■ far -as their money- will purchase it The ordinary serge clothing which they used to wear when they did not belong to themselves, is not half stylish enough for them now—and they affect good chocs, and hats, as well as good coats,- and pants. They are learning, also, the mean ing and the dignity of independence, and reliise.to allow the Government to pay certain little items for them which it used to pay, now that they have money of their own. ■These are all yciy encouraging ejgns and promise well, both for their own foil tore and for outs. People who are load ol making difficulties where there need be none, have told us that the freed slaves would be a charge upon the nation; where as the contrary is the foot. Everywhere, where the has been tried, tbs negroes Lave turned out as good-workmen as one could expect them to be, and pro ductive also at that. They have made money invariably when they have had fair T>lay shown to them. If this is the case with them now, what is it likely to be here after, when the new* garment of free dom fits them easily. There is no reason in the world why they should not become first-rate customers to the manufacturers of the Hast; far better customers indeed, than their old masters were, or ever could have been. The labor of between three and four millions of people turned suddenly into money which they can spend on their own account, in what articles they please, would give an immense impetus to trade, and tlius the freedom of tlie slave mil re sult in bettering the condition of aIL NOW OB NEVER. As soon as the smrender of Charleston is known, we may look for increased mani festations of disloyal zeal on the part of the Copperheads. After Gettysburg and Vicksburg, we had the New York riots, as an ofiset to the advantages that the Union cause had gained; and now why not look fprinsurrection on a larger scale? The rebels themselves confess that they have hut two remaining hopes—foreign inter vention, and revolution against the “ Lin coln depotism” in the North. Intervention is definitely given np; hence the revolution is all that’s left. We warn the Copper heads that their tether is getting short Let the Chicago organ of Jeff. Davis blow the hom ere the rebels give np the ghost! A STAB ENGAGEMENT. Instead of decreeing, as the French Con vention used to do for the successful of ficers in its service, that Gen. Gilmore has deserved well of his country, Congress ought, if he reduces Sumter and takes Charleston, to create for him an Artillery Bureau in the War Department and put at. his disposal the means of enlarging, im proving, and putting on a firm baas the science to which lus life has been devoted. AMajor General (os he will be, if he plays this star-engagement, until the doom ed city falls,) at the head of such a Bureau, would be of incalculable advantage to the army and the country. KOW BVHN CHABIESTON. If Sumter is ours, bum Charleston as a retaliation for the destruction of Lawrence, and the death of unarmed citizens there murdered in cold blood. Bum it, and the country and the world will justify the act Light the fires with the instruments of tor ture that Slavery has always in store ior its victims; and not all the teats that Slavery has caused will quench the flames. IS HE AN ATHEIST ? *We have a letter from Mr. E. Morton, •who, claiming to he an Atheist, takes ex- ception to the somewhat frequent and unfriendly references of the Trdutke to people of his class. Irl it occurs this sen' tcnce; “ I ssow'tbat a Supreme Almighty “ Power exists, rules oyer and in the afiairs “of the Universe.” Hr. Morton is not with this creed, what he claims to be; and we can have no controversy with him. He is no Atheist. American and EdrlUli magazines. The "Westminster Review (Chicago, John Walsh,) for July quarter, is a very able num ber, and contains two or three eloquent and scholarly papers, the chief of which is that entitled “The Growth of Christianity. 11 The thoughtful reader will find much to admire, and much also to question, iu this remarka ble sketch of the history of the Christian Idea, and its developments. It is not what is commonly understood by the word orthodox," nor Is it absolutely heretical; but it presents many sew philosophical outlooks, for which ordinary readers will hardly he prepared. The writer designs to show that in Its origin and development, Christianity was a perfectly na tural, and even inevitable phenomenon, grow ing out of a long intellectual and moral pre paration, although possessing an intrinsic originality of-its own. An article “On Lan cashire,* 1 based upon the Reports of the Cen tral Executive Relief Committee of Manches ter, is a valuable contribution to the history of the operatives in the cotton districts. The chief remaining articles are “Poland, V “St. Simon and His Disciples,” M. Louis Blanc’s BUtory of the French Revolution, and Mar riages of Consanguinity. The present number of the Edinburgh Re view (Chicago, John Walsh,) is a more reada ble issue than we have seen for along time from the same quarter. An article on the re cent (?) discovery of the Sources of the Nile, is very triumphant in its Growings, because two soldiers belonging to the East India serv ice-. are said to have solved that old * and per plexing problem. It was natural that the EdinboroV should make the most of this cx* ploit, because the discoverers were English men, and the feat itself ol such a nature that any highest grandee, anywhere, for twenty centuries or more, would have been proud to have had his name associated with so mag nificent an event in the history of geographi cal science. It is very remarkable, however, to say the least of it, that the President of the Royal Geographical Society, and learned English* men generally, persist in claiming this honor for Captains Speke and Grant, after our equal* ly learned brother oCthe Providence Journal has so satisfactorily proved that the Sources of the Nile were known, and recorded in maps and geographies three hundred years ago. The old traveller and geographer, Leo Alricanus, as we rather lengthily showed awhile since In this paper, describes In his books the very Lake Victoria Kyanza of Speke ns the source i of mysterious river, and * he places it also/close to the Equator. Wo have no room to rehearse all the evidence which we there adduced, not only from Leo hut from various other -authorities, and old maps, to prove the position, but there can be no doubt that Speke’s “disco very” is merely a*re-d!scov eiy, and that the sources of the Nile were as well known to the great European geogra phers,and also to the Arabians, as the source of the Thames. The other articles are on Lyell’s Antiquity of Men; a crude, and very unsatis factory paper, designed to ignore the civiliza tion of the ancient Droids and Bards—Xavier Reymond, on the Navies of Prance and Eng land, an important subject very ably treated; Napiers’ Memorials of Claverhouse, etc., etc. The American Journal of Education, edited by Henry Barnard, L. L. D. (Chicago, George Sherwood & Co., 118 Lake street,) comes to ue—the' June number of It—full of valuable contributions upon Educational matters both at home and abroad. Wc are glad to welcome this able Review, which is not only well con ducted,hut tof real importance also, to the whole community, and deserving of the highest encouragement and support. The Editor, Dr. Barnard, Is well known in educa tional circles, all over Europe, and is regarded as high authority upon the great subject, to the elucidation of which he has devoted his energies and scholarship. -We know of no more reliable book than this upon the ques tions of which It treats. It presents us, quar terly, in a more or less elaborate form, the history of current education'all ovqr tho world. It should be In the hands of statesmen as well as teachers.

Knox Walker, a nephew of ex- President Polk, and his private secretary dur ing that gentleman’s administration, died at Memphis on the evening of the 21st lost. Esrip in the war Colonel Walker espoused tie rebel cause, sad gw active in rutting « regiment, which he commanded for some 'time. Of late years he his been given to ex cessive dissipation, which so unstrung his system, that before his death he was left almost a wreck. At the lime of lus decease he was about fifty Te«« old. He d.cd a traitor and a sot. pcatli of Gen, Pemberton, ■* jYom all accounts, the reported death of General Pemberton la correct. He was on his way to Montgomery, Alabama, where a military conrt of inquiry, to inquire into the causes attending the surrender of Vicksburg, was oidered to beheld. While at Selma, Al abama; he was approached by an officer of a Texas regiment, who accused him' of selling Ticisburg to General Grant. This the rebel General denied, when, after further conversa tlyn, General Pemberton attempted to shoot the Texan, who, however, beforehe had effec-* ted his purpose, drew a revolver and.shot Pemberton, the wound producing almost in stant death. The information as to the death of this double-dyed traitor, comes from Green wood, Mississippi, where the report Is gener ally credited. The War Democracy of Ohio. It is sign of the time tiiat the War Democracy of the entire North arc sloughing off .from the Copperhead party, Wc have already noticed the immense meet ing at Indianapolis, and the action of the War Democrats of Wisconsin. The same party in Ohio have issued an address to the people of that State, in which they speak out boldly, as follows: ' The object of the strife, upon the part of the Government is to preserve the bond of our political existence—to vindicate the au thority of the Constitution, and maintain as a nation our territorial landmarks unimpaired. It U manifestly our duty as Democrats, In the present crisis to pledge the Government not only all the aid In men and means, which the emergency requires, but also by oar votes to yield it that moral support so necessary to the speedy accomplishment of this object. Entertaining these views, it is clearly im possible for us to support as ourcandidatefor Governor ot the State of Ohio a man who, from the commencement of the war, has, os we believe, placed himself in direct opposi tion to the Government, and who desires to propose terms of peace to traitors, who openly declare they will accept peace on no terms short of a recognition of a Southern Gonfed cracy% The true Democracy are in favor of peace, but on ench terms only as will recognize the perpetuity of the Federal Union; peace on any other terms is treason.

A Blot at Danville, Illinois—Three Sleo Billed and Many Wounded, [From the Lafayette Courier, 25 tn.] A terrible riot occurred at Danville, *lll., yesterday, which, os wo understand, was nos quelled up to last night. The accounts from there were eo conflicting and meagre that is Impossible to decide exactly what the trouble arose from. The story which seems the most probable and authentic is, that last Friday some person appeared on the streets with a butternut breast-pin upon his person, when a fight occurred—a trial for assault and hatteiy grew out of this transac tion which was set for trial yesterday. Either during orafter the trial the’riot commenced and continued with more or less violence till night. It seems certain that three men, at least, were killed, and several others wounded. As near as wc could learn from persons direct from Danville, a man by the name of Paine, and another named Fred. Myers, were killed. The name of. the other person we could not learn. One person on the train said that a Mr. Bateman, a prominent merchant of Danville, was the unfortunate thlrdjperson; but this report was contradict ed. The sheriff of the county was notldUed, though he was wounded in the arm. Another report stated that the brother of the sheriff was the third person killed. Lost night the telegraph wires were cut beyond the State line, aud it was impossible to obtain anything from the scene of disturbance. About seven o’clock last night Provost Marshal Park re ceived a dispatch from the Provost Marshal at Danville, as follows; DaKvnxz, Aug. 23,1883. Provost Marshal, La fayette: * Mob violence is raging here. Three of our citizens Lave been killed—many wounded. Can you send fifty (50) armed soldiers by the 10 o’clock train to-night V W. PimiAJf, Provost Marshal. Capt. Park responded thatbowouldbe there by half-past ten, and immediately set himself at work to have a train in readiness, and to bring the men oyer from Camp Orth. -He succeeded In making his arrangements, and at 0 o’clock he had 100 picked men from the 104 th regiment cn route for the depot and lefc here for Danville, in a special train about half past nine. In his efforts ho was greatly aided by Lieut. CoL Behm, who was-Jn command at Camp Orth, and by the other officers of the regiment. When the news was circulated through camp that 100 pickedmcnwere want c d for special duty, it was with great difficul ty that the regiment was restrained, as all wanted to go. Men who hod not been solicit ed came rushing to headquarters with guns in their hands, asking the privilege of accompa nying the expedition. The ianrence Victims. Among those murdered by Quantrelte gang at Lawrence, were the following: George W. Collamore, formerly of Boston —Mayer of the city, and formerly Quarter master General of the State of Kansas. Josiah Trask, formerly of Massachusetts, and son of Geo. Trask, of Fitchburg, Mass., editor of the Kansas State Journal , successor to the Eerald of Freedom.

Union meetings In Tennessee Another mass meeting in fiivor of Union -and restoration has been held In Tennessee, at Franklin, which was. immensely attended. Speeches were mode by Parson Brownlow, Governor Johnson, Judge Brien, and Colonel Hancock. The following resolution gives the spirit of the meeting: Jtttohedt That an experience of two years of anarchy, eonfoßlon, and misrule impresses us with the inestimable value of the blessings we have lost and the calamities of the past have taught us wis dom for the future—and if possible increased our attachment and devotion to our old Government, and we therefore earnestly desire the restoration of the Federal and State Governments over us as soon as possible, and pledge ourselves to make all honorable exertion to restore and maintain the su premacy of the Government of the UuitedStates. An* Isipobtant Notice,— A circular has been issued from the War Department, an nouncing that a number of officers wlll-be dismissed from the service unless they appear before the military authorities at Washington and answer charges, before the 9tb of August Among them are the following: Major Lewis D.

IFrom Onr Regular Corrcspocdeat.] Spkikofield, August 35, IS£3. EXPIAHTIKO AWAT TBEASON. Tho letter writers for the Copperhead papers and the papers themselves are just now very busily engaged in explaining away the trou bles in Fulton, Edgar, Williamson and other counties. Of course the blame of gll these disturbances is cast upon the Federal officers and troops; there would have been no trouble but for their outrageous conduct, and repeat ed assaults on the people., .Now this is all. * stuff, manufactured out of whole cloth. For months the Union people In these localities have been mode the, victims of all sorts of Copperhead outrages. Their orchards have* been destroyed, grain stacks horses and cattle maimed and in some cases murders have been perpetrated. Letters have uninter ruptedly poured into the State authorities for protection almost since the commencement of the war. Then midnight drillings have ; been going on, avowedly for the purpose of raiding a force to resist the draft. Acd when the affair combs to a climax, when the forces. are gathered to do the work for which they have been so long in preparation, and when a collision naturally takes place between the authorities and these traitors, the papers of the latter throw all the blame upon the mili tary sent to suppress insurrection and rebel lion. Nor is this aIL In the same papers .which contain these apologies for armed re sistance to the law you will find the most bit ter denunciations of the conscription, the most bold faced misrepresentations with re gard to it, and appeals which almost directly point to armed resistance to Its enforcement. What, then, can be said of such papers as those which so palpably give aid and comfort to the rebellion, which do so much to stir up earnest opposition to the Government in the State? Simply that they are doing all they can to aid the traitors indirectly, hut are too cowardly to cogte out and directly counten ance their outrages Upon law and order. The "only reason that prevents Lamphicr joining the secret. Copperhead organization, ia his cowardice. Be is afraid to take oath with the uplifted band in the regularly organized’castle, Although he has long since taken it in his heart, as every number ofhis paper shows. Slavery and secession arc the corner stones of the' society, and to slavery and secession*ls the State litgittcr as devoted as the courage of Us editor wulgpenmt It to he. But the cor respondents of some of the other democratic papers writing from this city, ore in full K. G. C. communion, and one or two of thorn arc distinguished officers in this order. It is such men who are apologizing for the Fulton and ether rioters, and slandering the officers of the law in the prosecution of their duty. Let their letters be taken then for what they arc worth, these things being considered. BCTTEBM7T BALLY AT LAWBENCEVXLLS. The Butternuts had a rally, a few dayasince, at Lawrcnceville, Lawrence county, at which the feelings of the crowd and their sympa thies were shown by cheers for Jeff. Davis, Morgan the horse-thief, Vallandlghim the traitor, and others. It is true that only the most reckless made these vociferations, but they showed the spirit which animates the. patty. Indeed, lately, at nearly all the Dem ocratic meetings in the central and southern pert of* the State, similar manifestations of sympathy with the rebels have been made. THE BHMOCBATIC JUBILEE. Several of the Democratic speakers at their picnic and other meetings have been announ cing that next year is to be the Democratic Jubilee. At a'meeting at Oscaloosa, Clay county, a few days since, Judge Bryant, a “leader of the faithful" In that pait of the country, explained what this jubilee is to be. He said the Democrats would then elect a President and take the Government into their own hands, and that in twenty-fonr hours af ter the power passed into' their hands, they wonld reconstruct the Union and end the war. They do not want tho war ended nntil they getrinto - power, that Is certain; for in that event it might be impotent to save slavery. Their grcat'bbjcct is consequently to prolong the war until they get Into power, ana so re construct the Union as not only to save slavery, but give it such guarantees for the fntnre as will pnt it in jnot as good a position as if tbc rebellion itself had triumphed. THE PAIJTS TBOUBLE. In Edgar, as wdl as in many othercoiintics, the Democracy have been helping the rebels by obstructing a year ago the State JRfgitter and other papers uniformly called for tills same draft, os the fairest means for carrying on the war. Bat this was before theK. 6. C. society bad gained supreme control of the county. At Paris, Eogar county, the Copperheads contrived to have the Deputy Provost Marshals imprisoned on a charge of making an assault with deadly weapons upon one S. If. Redman. They were brought before O. L. Davis, Judge of the Dan ville Uircult, bnt not a particle of cvideucc was proved against them. No sooner wore the. Marshals lodged in Paris, than the Copper heads got np the story that the Union Leaguers cf Mattoon and Charleston were coming to arrest them. Upon this report three or four hundred “drilled men" assem bled on the Paris aud Charleston Eoad to pro tect the jail, as they said. They waited there for two Coys, bnt the Leaguers did not moke their appearance, upon which they dispersed. Subsequently these men reassembled, not to protect any right, hot to resist the enroll ment, which was in progress. This compelled Gen. Ammen to send a body of troops to the county, which qnickly dispersed those pre tended defenders of the laws. THE OBEAT MASS MEETING. The preparations for the great miss meet ing on the Dd, are progressing. From*cvery pait of the State the most cheering account* arc being received ol the interest taken In it by the Union masses. The people waut it to be a success, and having taken the matter in hand, I have no doubt it will be. There is hope that the President himselfwillbehcre. If he comes, he will receive one of the warm* tst and most enthusiastic receptions ever ac corded to tho-head of a nation. 1 have from time to .time forwarded lists of other distin guished persons who are to be present, and it is useless to repeat them here.

Army, now In this city, has lately promul gated the following important order: Vicksburg, August 16,1603. Special Orders No. 45. —Under instruc tions from the Secretary of War, the under signed hereby announces his return to this region of the country, for the purpose of con finning the organization into the military ser vice of the United States, til able-bodied male persons of African descent who may. come within onr lines, or who may be brought in by our troops, or who may have already placed themselves under the protection of the Fed eral Government; olso to take'such measures as may prove most beneficial for the welfare of all women, children, aged and infirm per-. - sons of African descent who may have sought refuge within our lines, or who may hereafter .do so, * In future all able bodied male negroes of the above class, will at once be organized by such officers as may be detailed for ihat'duty, into the military service of the United States, when they will be assigned to regiments com posed of persons of African descent now in process of formation, orto .be formed hereaf ter. • } It has become apparent that the system of receiving all negroes who may have sought the protection of onr government, and allow ing them In many Instances to remain’, in a state ol almost inactivity, has become at times not only injurious to the interests of the ser vice, hut to the welfare of the negroes them selves, resulting in habits of indolence, in sicknessanddlsease. > It is further considered expedient, that all children and females, of descent, who may hereafter be desirous of seeking refuge within the lines of the United States ‘troops, bo advised to remalzn on the plantations or elsewhere, where they have heretofore been, in a state of servitude, provided such place be under the control of the Federal troops. All such negroes will receive the protection of this Government while they remain in the locations that "may be designated; and all such persons as may be authorized to occupy plantations or other places, will be permitted to employ these females and children, in any capacity most suited to their ability. ♦ All male negroes, who arc incapacitated by old age, ill health, or in any other respect, from serving in regiments of African descent, will be duly cared Tor and assigned, as hereto fore, to the nearest camp for such persons. By order of the Secretary of War. L. Thomas, Adjutant General. The Recapture of the Port Warren Prisoners* [From the Portland Press/} As already stated by uSjCollcctor Jewett dispatched Capt. John A. Webster, Jr., com manding the Cutter J. C. Dobbin, to recap ture if possible the prisoners who had escaped from Fort Warren, Boston Harbor. Theuat ter stood to. the west alqng shore and over hauled every vessel she met; at night Capt Webster wisely stood east again, so as not to permit their escape by him In the dark.' In the morning he stood west, and when east of Boon Island saw several vessels in sight, and noticed among them a small boat about the size named, out schooner instead. of sloop rigged, which tacked and stood In shore when she saw the Cotter boarding other vessels. There being a light eostcrly'wlnd, after he had boarded the olh(fr vessels in sight, he ran down for this schooner, then standing In shore about four miles to leeward. TheU ut ter soon overhauled them, and ordered them to heave to which they did The Cotter’s boat was sent under charge oflat Lieut. Coles bury, with orders to bring the boat alongside, and the men on board t£e Cutter. On being questioned, they said they were down-eas? fishermen, belonging toEaatport, and bad been up west to sell their fish and were bound home; but their southern decent and manner betrayed them to Capt. Webster, who was satisfied that they were not fisher men. . He ordered them searched, when a roll of Confedcratemoney,'about S2OO, was token from the breast pocket of one' of them; with some greenbacks. As soon as this was open ed the up,” and frankly admit ted that they had escaped from Fort Warren. They proved to be. Lieutenant Alexander, formerly of the United States Navy, and who was an officer on board the frigate Snsquehan ha in the Mediterranean when the rebellion broke out, came home In the Richmond, went South and joined the Confederate Navy. He .was a lieutenant and second in command on beard the Confederate ram Atlanta, formerly Fingal. which was captured off Savannah, some time since.* Lieut. A. says that the At lanta had a torpedo at her bow. thirty feet in frout of her, with which he Intended to blow up the Weehawken, but that tbc latter’s shot made such dreadful havoc as to defeat his plan, Be says it crashed through her iron cost ard literally broke it into small pieces, while It tore away the pitch pine backing of the iron as if it had bean paper. The other party proved to be 2d Lieutenant Thurston of the Confederate Marine Corps, a native of Charleston; Lieut. A.,belagauatlve of North Carolina. Both of them escaped over the ramparts of Foil "Warren with nothing on but their flan nel shirte. They lay about two hours in the water near a sentry before they attempted to swim to a target near the shore. Lieut. Read of the Tacony also made an attempt, but was discovered after the alarm was given, and cap tured. They loosed the targetirom Us moor-' ings,and by its aid floated and swam to the opposite shore, bat so chilled by our “cold Yankee water” that they were scarcely able to move; but seeing a Ashing schooner near the shore at anchor they boldly went on board, !n plain sight cf two men on shore, by whom they expected momentarily to be captured. They cut the boat's cable and stood off to sea, hoping as they say to intercept some English orTrovincial vessel, but speaking none, they -went ashore near Rye Beach, and reported themselves to an elderly gentleman as fisher men who, having got. their clothes wet took them off to dry, and lost them accidentally overboard. The party applied to thought the story a little strange, but seeing them “ cold and noleed and hungry, V took compassion on them, gave them pants, food, andabottleof wine, with which they again made sail and were wending their way east .when captured by the Cutter. They were In a very exhausted condition when taken on board the J. C. Dobbin, and had wrapped pieces of canvass around their bodies under their shirts to keep them warm; but their chill while in the water, and their exposure oil night .while in an open boat, had made them highly indignant against our “cold Yankee water and chilly nights,*’ They fay but two persons escaped with them on the target. They constructed an im promptu anchor by filling a piece of canvass with stones from the beach. They are both intelligent and gentlemanly officers, and have that quiet dash about them that would make them troublesome officers to our vessels, if once again aboard Confederate vessels. The cutter arrived back about 4a. m., yesterday, and they were both committed by U. S. Mar shal Clark yesterday forenoon to our county jail in this city, subject to orders from ‘Wash ington. Tho beat which the above parties took is a clump, square stem fishing boat decked over, andhad only her ballast on board with & small lot of canvass. She has no name, is painted green on her bottom andblackabove. When Lieut. Alexander was joked as to the humble class of the boat he commanded, he replied that liberty in such a craft was sweet after the confinement in Foi» Warren. Xl» WHITE UIY£U. Two Steamers Captured—Pontoon bridge Destroyed on Little Red* [Correspondence of the HissoariDcmocrat.J On (he morning cfthelSth, by order ofGcn. Davidson, the gunboats Lexington, Cricket and Marmora, in charge of Capt. Biche, U. S. N., took on board one battalion of the 82d lowa infantry, Major Ebcrbart in command, and left Clarendon on a reconnoissance up White Elver. The' writer chanced to be one of the party, and will speak of what trans pired atcordirgly: . At Duvall's Blufib we come in'sight of the enemy's pickets, posted on a road under cot cr of Umber, & hundred yardo or so from the nver. The Cricket was in advance, aud they allowed her to pass unUl passing the bend her stem was lurnedtowurdS them when they fired a volley into her. At that moment the Lexington made her appearance, l and a message from her howitzers caused them to retire m double quick. From this point we passed up to Dcs Arc, seeing now and then a sentinel along shore, but icceiving no attention worthy of notice. The boats landed at this point and Major Ebcrtart’s battalion, assisted by some forty or fifty marines, commenced searching the town for Confederate soldiers and Confederate stores. • . Wc [soon learned that Dobbin's regiment left there the evening before for Bayou Metre.* Directly some loyal contrabands informed us that two companies of that regiment were in the rear of the town when we landed, and about the tamo-time their mounted pickets were discovered some three or four hundred yards out cn a road leading west. The inform ation was communicated to Captain Bachc, and m a few moments a shell was heard pass ing in that direction; then another, when a dead of dost arose in the road, and tho rebel horsemen were seen no more. Capt.-Bachc destroyed amill which hadbeen used to grind for the army, burned a ware house containing a Email amount of commis sary stores, cut the telegraph aud proceeded up the river. At dark, the fleet cast anchor some two miles below Peach Orchard Bluffs. At daylight we were again under way. At the mouth of Little Bed, the Cricket, Captain Longhorn, having on board some seventy infantry, started up that stream. The Lexington and Marmora proceeded up While, and arrived at Augusta about twelve. The citizens were taken by surprise, and some of them much alarmed. , We here learned that the Tom Suggs and Kaskaskla were up Little Bed, also that Mar madukc, with his whole force, was west of White River, and started on our retuhi about two o’clock p. m. At Grcgorie’s Landing we burned seme seven or eight hundred bushels cf corn, which had been left upon the bonk for shipment. Not finding the Cricket upon onr arrival at the month ot the Little Bed, Capt. Bachc de termined* to go in search ot her. There was plenty cf water, bnt tbc channel is narrow and very crooked, making it very difficult for a boat of tbc size of the Lexington to ascend, bnt she pushed on perseveringly, and about fifteen miles trom the mouth met the Cricket coming down, convoying the two steamers she had been in search or. It seems that soon after entering Little Bed, Capt Langborn as certained that tho Tom Suggs was about one hour In advance of him, going up stream. He pushed on aud overtook her, together with the KaskasUia, at Searcy Landing. The rebels, thinking It impossible for a gunboat; to as cend that far, on acconct of water, bad left the boat unguarded. So unexpected was the arrival ot tho Cricket that tho crews, remain ing upon the boats did not have time; to es- CB jii!t Ibis* point Captain Longhorn found a pontoon bridge, which had been hsed by Mar madoke's command in crossing; also that two hundred of his men were still on tho north side of the river. He burned the bridge, destroyed a mill, manned bis transports with infantry, and started on his return. ; At a bluff near West Point, the transport in advance was attacked by a force supposed to be two hundred or upwards, and complctly riddlcdwith musketry. Hod it not been fora breastwork of cotton bales placed on: deck, nearly all on board would have been killed or wounded; as it was, seven out of twenty seven were bit —three received severe wounds, two of whom have since died. i The soldiers and marines returned the fire with spirit, and the cricket opened on them with shell, which soon caused them to seek safer quarters. i After the Cricket pussed, theLcxlugton had not more thou turned round and got'undcr way, whjn a volley of musketry was heard in odvancerwhich was immediately answered by the Cricket's guns. Wc toon discovered that a body of some sixty. or one hundred men concealed among the weeds along the bank and behind a levee were firing on us at a dis tance of not more than seventy or one hun dred yards.- The fire was returned by the in-- fontry, marines and guns of both boats, bnt they held their position and fired on na until wo wcrcont ot their range, three or four shots entering the stern port of the Lexington, as she was leaving, hut as luck would have it, no one was injured during the encounter. The boats succeeded in getting Into White Blver about nine o'clock, and on tbemoming of the 15th moved on down that stream; At Taylor’s Bluff, some forty or fifty rebels made theirappearance, but a few shells caused them ttrmove off In haste, it was thought with seme loss. At Arkapola a few stray shots were fired, but like most of the others did no harm. At sundown we found ourselves at anchor opposite Clarendon. The result of the expedition may be briefly stated as follow*:. The capture of two small ateamers—the only ones the rebels had on ."White River, consequently of much import ance to them; the confirmation of the Infor mation already obtained, that the rebels are concentrating all their available forces in Arkansas at Bayou Metre and fortying; that Marmaduke is certainly on his way to join the balaucc, and that they hare no batteries planted on White River. Distinguished Persons at the White mountain*-Speech of Gen. Butler* A letter from Centre Harbor, N. H, of August lOtb, announces tint Governor An drew of Massachusetts, and United States Senator Sprague of Rhode Island, reached that place during the early part of last week. x On Monday evening, General Cutler, who ar rived daring the day, was called- upon for a speech, which he proceeded to make. In the course ot his remarks he said our army had fought more pitched battles than any other, and that, under General Grant, at Vicksburg, we bad taken more prisoners than had ever been taken at one time, even by Napoleon. All this batLco&t treasure and blood, and per haps more might be required. .. Wo now see Missouri in the Union, soon to be a free State; South Carolina is invested; Honda is virtually in the Union; and North Carolina is contemplating coming back. In Tennessee our arms have made good progress i and iKen tucky has just declared for the Union and against secession sympathisers by a ilorge vote. TheCtatc of Missouri is in the bands of the Federal Government, and that irreat artery, the Mississippi River, is open to stfeam navigation. . The General spoke of the importance of union among us of the North to secure vic tory over the rebels, who are now looking to the North for aid. They arc awaiting the re sults of our elections in the hopes of finding better terms. There were five men in Congress who voted sgainst the bills for paying our troops; of whom three are in the rebel army; one, Val landigham, la a fugitive in Canada, while the filth, Ben. Wood, lives In a city which has been given to riot, daring the prevalence of which the time seemed to be divided between plundering and Cheering of Jeff Davis.; The speaker could not - sec how any one could • doubt that union among ourselves would give us the desired success even before the frosts of autumn should set in. And here he gave some good advice about supporting the Ad ministration, taking the ground that while no man was hound to, believe that MI Its meas ures were the best that could be desired, there was still no hope for ns but to stand by tbc Administration,' which is the Government for the time being. • Substitutes to be Shot. —Gen.

[From L’Oplnlon Rationale, August 5.3 We arc about to find ourselves placed ia Mexico, In a situation perfectly analogous to that which we have made for ourselves at Rome, between the liberals, who vainly ask ub to go forward,-.and the reactionists, whom we refuse to follow in their backward course. The clergy applaud us to-day at Mexico just as the buck party applauded us at Romo in 1819. But rf Marshal Forey continues to speak of liberty of religious worship, it he re futes tB restore the property of the convents, if he permits himself to resist the Archbishop cf Mexico, he must expect to see the party which had so warmly acclaimed us, treat us soon as we were treated at Vome, by the Mo rodisandtbe Antonellis. And then no mat ter how little the situation may be complica ted, we may calculate on Gen. Bazoine, who is charged with the maintenance of public tranquillity, writing here that 15,000 men is too small a force for him, and demanding re inforcements. We do not yet know what the government of Mexico will he, whether it will be mon archical or republican, nor particularly on what broad shoulders wo are going to place the heavy burden of rehabilitating a bankrupt nation. In any event, we have cause to be lieve that that laborious work wQI fall entirely to our charge. In fact, what they arc a little deficient in everywhere, but at Mexico more than auwhere else, is capable men. It will be for us to organize the army, the Usance, pub lic education; highways; and the administra tion. We wQI find ourselves compelled, by the dearth of materials, to do everything by ourselves. We will have to administer a great empire; we wfll he'responsible for its desti nies, and if success is to redound to our glory it must he admitted that, by a fair return, its failures win be imputed to us. A considera ble share of our attention, of oursurveillance, will have to he devoted to Mexico; and hence wiU come embarrassments, difficulties and complications, the responsibility of which we will be no longer free to decline. In vain shall wo ask ourselves whether it is useful or advantageous ‘for France to go far to seek grave cares'—to neglect its internal affairs, its European work, for the sake of un dertaking education at a.rcmote point, and of necessarily charging ourselves with desperate cures.. Tho answer will be that it is too late, that wc are engaged, and that the honor of the flag does not permit us to abandon the work commenced. This prospect is so much the lees encouraging as it is plain that, besides questions of internal organization—always very grave and very complicated—Mexico Is destined within a very few years, perhaps months, to raise for ns grave foreign difficul ties with the United States, and to draw us, perhaps, into an absurd and most deplorable strife. It is a curious and characteristic bat incon teatable fact, that in France, at the present day, no one knows exactly why wc haye gone to Mexico, It Is simply a piece of obstinacy that has grown serious by the very obstacles which it has encountered. Is it a vast pro ject, maturely weighed, to give to France an American India, to be governed and exploited as England governs and exploits Asiatic In dia? No one can say with certainty.' But certain indications permit the supposition that this enterprise bad, in the idea that con ceived it, a certain connection, difficult to be defined, with the events that are passing in North America. , Every one has remarked the solicitude,fun expected enough, which the French Govern ment has evinced for the Southern Confeder acy, and Its oft-repeated attempts upon the English Government, fortunately repelled by the latter, to give a united recognition to the slaveholdingßepublicof whlchMr. Jefferson Davis Is Jiio President. Public opinion in Fiance bos not understood the reason for this preference. In principle, the South is found ed upon slavery—an institution that 2s im moral and profoundly opposed to ouf ideas and onr manners. It is the South that has commenced the rupture with the North, Un doubtedly, In the point of view of the pro duction of cotton, the South can interest us. But that question interests • England still more than us, and yet she has not wished, up to this time, to recognize the South; and it is she who has stopped the impatient ardor of the French Government in that direction. On the other band, and admitting that the Sonthmay form a separate State, and that the recognition of France may aid her in doing so, it is certain that our presence in Mexico will be still more disagreeable to her than it can be to the republic of the North. In fact, the slaveholdlng South has only one chance ofliv icg andof resisting tho hostile brethren from whom It seeks to separate: and that Is to ex pand and prorogate around it its domestic in stitution. Slavery, restricted, will be secretly Undermined or violently overthrown by the North. Tho Sooth con live only by assuming the offensive. It lias long recognized that fact; and its efforts to acquire or conqner Cuba, Nicaragua and the small Central Ameri can republics, and the absorption of Texas, already consummated, show dearly enough that she South comprehends the necessity th.it weighs upon it and that drives it to conquest and to the propaganda of slavery. If, therefore, the South in consummating Its separation, it is not doubt ful that it wonld regard with the greatest dis favor, the French flag floating over tho soil of Mexico and protecting it from its avowed covetousness. Our Mexican 'establishment will then have a dangerous, threatening vlcl unto. So it is one of not the least astonish ments provoked by this expedition that the French Government should persist In seeking to induce England to recognize with it the Southern republic, whose attacks the French fhg, if it remains in Mexico, will Inevitably have to repel. If, then, as Is believed, and as facts appear to indicate, there is a connection between our expedition to Mexico and the policy pursued in respect to the Southern Confederacy; it must be acknowledged that that my tciions connection escapes all onr ex planations. The only point that remains evi dent is that if we remain at Mexico, and if the South succeed, it will resume Its projects of conquests, that have been suspended by the ciyil war, and we shall have to repel an inevitable invasion. If, on the contrary, the South succumb and the great republic be' reconstructed, we can not expect any betterfortnne.. It will not be, indeed, forthepnrpcsc of spreading slavery, which it will have abolished at home, that it w itl menace onr transatlantic pupils, but rath er for the purpose of repelling European in fluence, of maintaining in tact the more or less authentic Monroe doctrlnej and perhaps, also, of giving employment to the Generals and the five or six hundred thousand soldiers Tjho have contracted the habits of war, and whom the close of the civil war will have lelt without employment. ' Wc do not dread war when It Itf useful, when it la justified by the success of a 1 great cause, when the blood shed is the redemption for a great injustice, and the price of a great step towards the moral reconstitution of tin-' tions.' • But really to provoke a certain war with North America—certain in both hypoth eses, whether of separation or of reconstruc tion—and all ior the vain glory of weaning an old colony which onr diplomats have' mis taken for a young nation, would appear to us so deplorable', so senseless, soperilous, ao perfectly opposed to the interests, instincts, and aptitudes of our country* that it is not without profound apprehension that we see our government plunge, without care, and, as it were, in a fit ol distraction, Into this Ihtal coarse. At this moment the whole swarm'd- contractors is buzzing around it. Nothing is spoken ot but railroads and canals to be built, mines of gold and silver to*be worked. But, alas! “ all that glitters is not gold;” and if the government is wise it will Hasten to profit by the temporary pacification at Mexico, by promptly constituting there the best government possible, and bringing back our troops and our flag.; i ■ Let it give advice, let it lend skillful men, if it has any to spare, but let it not mufile itselt up in a guardianship of which the present generation would not see the end. Above all, let ii not be seduced by the fallacious hope of recovering the expense of the expedition; it will e con have expended a thousand millions to gain back three hundred mllllona. If these three hundred milllons-are lost, so much the worse. Let us pass them to the account of profit and loss, and let us not engage blind-, folded In an unknown way, at the end of which is to be seen only a certain war with North America. Let us bring back onr.troops to Europe; they will not be at any loss for employment; audit Mexico falls back again into disorder let not France be drawn into a soidiarity which nothing justifies, nor paralized by a trans atlantic Algeria, which she wouldhave to pro tect against enterprising and formidable neighbors. • An Old Southern Patriot* Sitting at Gen.

They got.about 160,000 iu gold be longing to the bank, and about SII,OOO in cur rency, also belonging to the bank. They got about. $40,000 special deposits—the greater part gold. They left on the road up the riv er, losing near the toll gate a package of $3,700 in Kentucky money, and four miles furthers4,7oo in greenbacks. One of these packages was/oundbya.white man and re turned; the other was found by a negro and returned. The President of the bank knew’ none ot the parties, although an old resident, and knowing nearly every citizen of the county. There was nothing like uniform, in the dress of the men, and no arms exhibited except revolvers. There were evidences that they were.famUliar with the town. They left on the rood up the river, and took the Boone ro&d, crossing the two pikes that led into Owen, and went through Boone or Grant, appaiently making for the hilly country at the head of Eagle Creek. The cash in the bank hud been three times removed for safe ty. It was last removed to Cincinnati, and bad not been returned more than three weeks.

The Polisli Question. /The Paris Memorial Diplomatique says: In order that the attitude of Austria to Russia may he clearly defined to the eyes of the world, Count luchberg has instructed Prince Ma’.temich and Count Apponyi to pro pose to iyake to Prance and England a coun ter proposition to that which Count Gorts chakoff proposed to Austria In his' well known dispatches of the sth and 14th of July last, instead of a separate understanding be tween the three Northern Courts for deciding upon the development of the six points, the Cabinets of Paris, Vienna and London would express in a protocol ad hoc the bearing and extent that according to tholr views the pre liminary bases set forth in the notes of Jane 17th. ought to have. Thte protocol signed by the three Courts, would be presented for the acceptance of Kur&ia as an invariable programme if. the Court of St. Petersburg adheres to It. The meeting cf an European Conference would be more than a question of form, although its object would be to.give a solemn s met ion to the arrangement# previously decided upon between the three Powers on the one side and Russia on the otter. The Austrian position hearting a rapid progress to the negotiations would allow of a prompter cessation of hostilities being arrived at in Poland, and of removing at the same time all opposition on the part ot Russia to the meeting of on European Conference; for in the main the same procedure Would be ob served as at the Congress of Vienna, at which the destiny of Poland was first settled in the committee office before. being submitted to the sanction of the subscribers of the final act ofVienna. ", The course invoked in the replies of Prince Gortschakoff would be maintained,‘it Is true, but with the essential difference—that instead of causing the revival of the pretended soli darity between the three Powers of the parti tion, it would forever sanction the-right acquired by the Powers subscribing the Sail act of Vienna to watch the loyal execution of the engagements contracted by "Russia, under the guaranty of Europe, In favor of Poland. • Religion Id Knoxville, Teim.
