HL djicaga FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1801 THE NEWS. A new draft is to be ordered when that of *hclOUi lost, is mode. The men must be hud and the call is imminent. Shortly we tsUall find the campaign began, and onr army still showing wide gaps in its tanks. It is ict satisfactory to the people that the work filling up the regiments proceeds so slow* 3r. The delay may bring deadly peril i Bounties are to be continued until April Let the volunteers now come forward rspldly. Men arc needed. The bounty is ycncrous, and a vigorous campaign will end he war. IA fruitful theme is offered the organ of Jeff. 1 avis in this city. In the dispatches of list night. At Vincennes, Indiana, a pcsti - lint seven by nine diurnal of treason, called tire Su*, was visited by a party of returned soldiers and completely riddled. At Dayton, Ohio, the infamous home organ of Vallandig ram, the Empire, was set upon by an excited party of soldiers, and in the .disturbance that ensued; pistols were drawn, shots freely ex* changed, and unhappily the life of a quiet spectator was sacrificed. These arc the facts stated without extenuation. The soldiers were to blame. They should understand that hese balefires of treason in the North have become of no more account than stinking unckcrcl that shine from their own corrnp lion, or the flickering lights above a morass, tlrut serve to warn of spots where no honest fool may tread. But the furloughed soldiers fresh from the field, have seen their fellows shot down at their sides, by the men in whose behalf these Northern traitors arc at work They have themselves suffered heavy personal sacrifices in behalf of loyalty. Is it fnl that their wroth Is awakened when they find Northern pens busied in decrying the War, deriding the defenders of the Union, belying the Government, and having only words of insnlt for those whose gentle and generous offices are at work in behalf of the soldier. When thus aroused, and infi imM by bad whisky, it is natural, but still blame* worthy that the soldiers should rashly put their bands to measures of violence, the treatment they arc accustomed to bestow on Southern rebels. Every good citizen, every one interested in preserving the good name of onr army, will dep recate nets of this nature; but while they cannot defend, it is impossible not to understand the force of the tempta* lion of onr soldiers to strike down the ene mies of the Union wherever found. At Day ton the interposition of loyal citizens stayed the disturbance, and it was the Copperheads themselves who prccipltatea bloodshed. Garret Davis, who is a very dark and dis mal garret indeed, hnng with the cobwebs of disloyalty and human chattelism rises in the Senate as the avenger of dismembered Vir ginia, and moves the consolidation of New England. The only real public harm to the servile frothlngs of this malicious old repro bate ie the time he occupies with his dreary bores. Dc is very innocuous otherwise, and indeed may prove medicinal to Kentnekv, whose people arc rapidly getting tholr eyes opened to the real status and purpose of such men as represent her In the Scnatc. The Great Eastern is£nndcr charter to lay the Atlantic cable. For this mission her im mense capacity and bulk seem to warrant an eminent fitness. The war in Virginia has given the rebels a fresh sensation, which has been something more than a blink scare. Our dispatches yesterday recorded the suc cessful swoop and return of Gen. Castor’s cavalry force. This movement was made to cover a still more Important one of General Kilpatrick. It would seem that Gen. Sedg . wlokwoß sent jto the extreme left ofthecno* my, to engage fils attention and divert his vigilance from the Eapldan fords. Kilpat rick, taking advantage of this, crossed the river and proceeded to make a rapid detonr to the southwest of the enemy's main posi tions around Orange Court Bouse donsvillc, while Cnstar swung rapidly round the extreme right of Sedgwick, via Mad ison Court House and Stannardsville. It was reported and confidently believed in the army that Kilpatrick’s large force of cavalry and mounted infantry actually con templated a coup dc main attack on Rich mond. Oof advices elsewhere state that he has not yet undertaken that, but having played liavoc with Lee’s communications, and destroyed a large amount of stores, he has been joined at Whltehousc, twenty-four miles from Richmond, by a force moved up the Peninsula by Butler, and further oper aiono are promised. Under the wise, firm and even rule of Maj. Hcti. Banks, by the exercise ol qualities wor thy of the commander and the statesman, New Orleans has begun effectually to put on Hil- garb of returning reason and loyaltv. Her better day has dawned, and she is about to become the metropolis of a. tree State, worthy to be the ocean entrepot of tbc great Talley of tbc Mississippi, soon throughout its whole extent to know no more the tread of the bondman, but everywhere to yield the ton-fold richer traits of Free Labor. The European news by the Canada is a very full summary of foreign news. The Danish situation apparently brings nearer the com plications that can bnt arise, at a certain stage, sure to involve other powers, and pos sibly to make great changes in the map of Europe. Our Leavenworth correspondent gives a highly mterestingaccoontof matters on the frontier. The disturbances in Paris, Edgar county, in this State, have assumed such & type as to call for the presence of Gen. Hcintzloman, in command of this Military Department, who was yesterday ch route for that place. A few wholesome arrests, and possibly a few CoDpcrbcads shot on military orders, will t>rove an effective stay to such outbreaks. HAUECK. THIS 801 Ihillcck had his Corinth and, fresh from a discomfiture that flushed thousands of loyal checks with shame, was summoned to a chief position at Washington- Bragg, with the defeat of Chlckamnnga, newly rankling in rebel minds, is made the head of the Con federate armies, at Richmond. The rebel press arc commenting very freely npon tbc incongruity of such antecedents to such re sults. The following, from the Richmond TlV.fy, is so apposite and true a portraiture that we should think “old Brains’* had been photographed to produce it If the Federal cause must have a Hallcck, it is kind in Providence to pnt a weight into tbe other scale. Says the 'Whig : Bragg takes command of tho Confederate army.

Head the account on the third page of this morning’s Issue of the admirable behavior of the three colored regiments in the late engagement in Florida.

THE WAR DN IKE FRONTIER, Matters in Kansas and Western Ar kansas, &c, &c. [From Our Special Correspondent] LzAvzKWoimz. Kansas, Feb. 28th, 1864. Major-General Blunt left this city for Fort Smith to resume his old command, (or so much of it as the malice of Gen. HaDeck leaves him,) in obedi ence to an order issued yesterday directing Mm to take command of the District of the Frontier in cluded iu the Department of Arkansas. The wording of the order is singular, and the po sition of aflklre down In the Indian Territory and Western Arkansas notices so than the order. Let mo given brief retrospective gianre. Last October Gen. Blunt was superseded by Gen. McNiel, under orders from Schofield. Blnnt went to Fort Smith, remaining there through the win ter, recruiting the Uth U. 8. Colored Infantry, the officers of which be has since boon anthnrirod to appoint. Time, which makes all things even, at last laid out his enemy Schofield, and the gallant victor of Western once more found himself nntramctled. Dc received leave to visit Wash ington. The Department of Kansas, with Major General Curtis at the bead, had been created. That Included the Indian Territory, and the “military pert” known as Fort Smith, Ark. This included an area of about 200 square yards. Certainly, the War department did not mean such a stupidity as this. The troops composing the old army of the frontier, were nearly all in the border tier of coun ties in Arkansas. The 13th Kansas and 8d 'Wisconsin were at Van Enron, under Col. Bowen ot the 15th, aa also a part of the Sd Kansas hatter}*. The 2d Kansas cavalry, with Robb’s Bth Indiana battery, at Waldron, forty miles south; the Ist colored Kansas, Col. Williams, at Roseville, £0 miles southeast; the 18th lowa, part ot the IfiUt, Cth Kansas cavalry, three Arkan sas regiments and a battery (these were raised by Gen. Blunt), were at Fort Smith (town) Fayette ville and elsewhere. The post garrison consisted of the 2d colored Kansas, and part of the 14th Kan sas cavalry, while a battalion of the 18th wore en camped In the territory contiguously. It was evident from the wording of the order that the President intended that Gen.Curtis ahooldhave possession of the town, as well as post of Foit Smith, as also command of the army of the Fron tier. But the opportunity was too good to deprive Gen. Blnut of a command, so Steele, acting with out doubt, under the inspiration of Gen. Ualleck, sent Gen. Timer to Fort Smith, to assume com cr the district and army of the Frontier. This leaves Gen. Blunt without troops, except the Indian brigade, 2d colored, 12th and uth Kansas, not enough to defend the Indian Territory with, i Gen. Blunt, while In Washington, received as surance that he should have a command suitable to hie rank, ar.d large enough for service, lie ex pects to move into Texas. Unless he receives troops he will not be so enabled. There is little doubt that the General-in-Chief: with the animosity he has always displayed to Kansas and the far Meat, embittered as he is by the defeat of his favorite, Schofield, would prevent oar fighting Genera), who has the high crime of being a volunteer officer aad a radical, from adding an? more laurels to those he already wears * But it is believed that the War Department will duly arrange nflalrs when the frets are presented. Every consideration, stragetic and otherwise, re onlre that the two western tiers of counties in Arkansas should be included In tho Department of Kansas. With the troops thus, under the com mand of Curtis and Blunt, the latter will have suf ficient force to clear out the entire Red River region of Northern Texas early In tho summer. Gen. Blont will be at Fort Smith in a few davg. We shall see a change ere long, for hie restless energy will not long allow him to be idle. PBOSZTOTTVE 3JOVEXENTS, Gen. Steele at Little Bock la evidently eoncen gating* force for operations in conjunction with Banks. He has an army of considerable mag nitude tmaer his command. It is quite probable that he will enter Louisiana and Texas by wav of the ole Shroeveport Emigrant Route. Gen. Blont was promised, while at Washington, « command of ai,*oEtron-. Whether he Trill get It 18 doubtful. But 08 Brig. Gens. Jell. C. Davis. Thomas Ewing, Jr„ Roht/S. Mitchell, and Davies ot Island Ko 10 notoriety, are ordered here to re port to Gen. Onrtla, It U more then prohablo that operations arc in reality Intended. TheOth Kansas cavaly, Cob Lynde, 1180 strong are ordered to Gen. Steele. They leavt here at & early day. The Uth Kansas, 15th and ICthare on £°Jy *n Kansas. The 7th (veteran?) are now re ermtiug with admirable success. The Bth, Colonel Jotm A. aimin, reached here onSatnrdav. This regiment numbers now only ahont 300 mmu It has over 4,000 miles andbeen in all the engage mtmtslnTcnnesreC’-Misskdppl and Kentucky since A FATI6CING SZCOKKOISBAKCS. Gtm. Cortie bss just come from a winter’s ride of MW miles, most ol which was performed in the saddle. This journey was undertaken in order to pc (tonally ascertain the wants and needs of his department lie left Fort Leavenworth on the apthult., and returned on the 27th of Fehruarv. During his absence he has travelled alone our entire Eastern border to Fort Scott, hence to Fort Hibson, whence he went to Fort smith, and A an Loren returning over the Boston Monnpi.np, via Fayetteville, PinevlHe and Car thanc to Fort Scott. Thence he went west to Hum. fcoldt, and then to Topeka, where he was received bv the Legislature. Gen. Cords Las thus person ailv assured himself of our position. He met nor heard of no rebel force, except a small party of H;s whackers near the Cane Hill battleground. The energy and Interest thus early exhibited by Ocn. Curtis gives him the renewed confidence of the people «f Kansas, and assures them all the protection the commanding General’s means will allow. We do not learn ol any movements north of the Choctaw Nation and Bed River. Gen. Cooper la reported with three email brigades to the Nation, while the balance of Steele’s, Cabell and Price's with Qnantrcll, are wandering to Northern Texas. When the leaves are oat, there is considerable danger apprehended in the Missouri border conn tics. Tbe Paw Paw militia are still enrolled and armed. The expected draft is creating great alarm. There Is ranch reason to apprehend that the Ptw Paws will take to the bush In that event. If they, have to fight they prefer the rebel service. At least this is openly boasted. The subject Is openly canvassed wherever the PawPaws have control. Gen. Bosccrans should look alter this. About three hundred of the Quantril cut throat* arc believed to be rendezvousing to the Sni lulls, Jackson county. Mo. When the grass "rows wo look for raids on oar devoted Elate.

The S2d of February was celebrated to a patriotic manner. Business was almost entirely suspended and the whole city decorated.

Washington, March 8. The third Committee of Conference on the whis ky bill having disagreed, a report to that effect was made to the Honse by Mr. Morrill, Chairman oi tbe Committee, who moved that tbc Honse recede from Us disagreement to the amendments of the Senate, which wonld have been tantamount to the passage of the bill as amended to theSesatc, leaving out the sliding scale, and imposing tbc tax on the stock on hand. Tide motion was opposed by Hasson and Spauld ing, tbe other confreres, and supported by Schenck and Garfield, the latter of whom had hitherto voted to tax the stock on hand. It was negatived by (2 yeas to 71 nays—the same majority by which the Bouse voted the day before yesterday to instruct the Committee to put 20 cents on stock on band. A motion to insist and ask another conference having been lost, a motion by Tbad. Stevens to ad here was carried without a division. The effect of this Is to defeat the bin altogether unless the Senate should recede from the amend ments on which there is disagreements. Commissioner Lewis’report, embracing tabular statements of the receipts from the Internal Rev enue, will, to two orthree days, be laid npon the members' tables and will be of valuable aid to the Ways and Means Committee in framing the new tax bill.

It is slated that the new loan is to bo given oat through the National Banks, instead of private bankers, as was at first Intended. The arrival here, yesterday, of Admiral Dahl croen, has given rise to a report that he either Is,or Is about to be removed from the command of the fleet off Charleston. _ .

FROM MADISON, Wisconsin Legislative and military Scatters. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Madison, WIa M March 8,1861. A tremendous crowd occupied the Assembly chamber, last evening, to welcome and listen to the experience and observations of Col, Hobart, 21st Wisconsin, lately escaped from Richmond. It will be remembered he was the Democratic candidate for Governor against Randall in '59. He gave an in tcrcating account of the reduced condition of the Sonth, and a thrilling account of his capture and experience in Libby Prison, and his escape there* from. He says the colored soldier question docs not stand in the way of an exchange. He says a good deal of Union sentiment prevails In the Sonth, thoogh suppressed by iron despotism, and be be lieves the vigorous prosecution of the war to bo the only road to peace, and thinks success may be ob tained In this campaign. Slavery's doom was sealed unless the Sooth tri umphed. He knew there was no way to settle our trouble but by whipping the rebels, and when whipped there would bo no trouble about recon struction. IDs remarks were received with great applause. Major Norman, of Ceu.Washbnrne'a Staff; whose indignation had been kindled by a Copperhead speech the day previous, being called out, gave the Copperheads o terrible scorching. The meeting adjourned with cheers for Hobart, Norman and the army, and groans for Copperheads. In the Scnale the assembly resolutions endorsing the amnesty were referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. The Agricultural College bill passed by an unexpected largo vote-19 to 9, As amended It provides for the appropriation of $ '.0,000 by the State for three years, beginning in 1663, pro vided $30,000 additional be raised by subscription, the lands to be sold Immediately.

Cincinnati, March 3, 1664. A gentleman, just arrived from Dayton, gives the following account of a very serious affair that oc curred there about noon yesterday: It seems that a squad of half a dozen soldiers of the 44th Ohio, beaded by Captain Badger, made a demonstration on tbe office of the Copperhead paper, the Dayton Empire and would have demol ished it had it not been for Messrs. Corwtoe, Staff. Young and other leading Union citizens, who promptly interposed to qncll the disturbance. Mr. Corwtoe made a speech to the infuriated sol diers, which wonld have had the effect of putting an end to the affair had not a man. named Kimball, who was on the ground armed, interrupted him by shouting “nigger,” “nigger.” At this the soldiers, who were under the Influence of bad whisky, made a break to the direction of Kimball, when the latter drew n pistol and blazed away. At tbc same moment a party of armed Cop perheads, who had got into the crowd, deployed across the street as skirmishers and began firing at tbe unarmed crowd. Some twenty-five or thirty shots to all were fired, and a man named Carle, of Tippecanoe, was shot dead and two of the soldiers badly wounded. The Empire office was not mate rially damaged. Had it not been for the venom of the Copperheads In shooting Into the large crowd of defenseless men the affair would have been quelled without blood shed. Dattok. March 3.—A party of twelve or fifteen furloughed soldiers of Co. C. 41th Oho regiment, went into the Empire office at noon to-day ana completely riddled the establishment. After the work was done the soldiers went to the Court Bouse steps and the leader made a speech, in which ho took upon himself the whole resposibillty of the act. By this time a large crowd was gathered, and E. S. Young, Esn., and R. 6. Corwin made speeches in order to allay the excitement. Daring the speech of the Utter a ™»n In the crowd made an offensive re mark about the Government protecting the niggers when the soldiers made a rush at him. In the melee a dozen or more shots were fired, resultin'* In the wounding of two soldiers and in the death of a man named Daniel Coal, from Tippecanoe, who was a mere sj»ectator. He was struck by a boll in the longs and died in a few moments after ward. He leaves a large family to monrn his loss. Capl. Badger, of Co. C, was arrested and admit ted to hail in the sum of SSOO. There is much ex citement In the city, bnt as all parties condemn the act, it Is not likely that any farther trouble will grow from It. The home guards, however, are nnder arms to preserve the peace of the city, should it be again threatened. FBOM LVDLLVAPOLIS. JL Copperhead Sunset —Military matters.

The Raids or KUpatrlcU and Castar. Washington, March B.— The Star Bars ; “Gene ral Castor has retamed to this side of the Rapldan from hie cavalry expedition, having sncccalhny ac complished the part of the work he started out to do. He hanuesed the flank of Leo's army consid erably, and, near Stanardsvillc, surprised tho rebel comp, which he homed and totally destroyed, aid captured a number of prisoners and horses. Gene ral Castar did nut lose a man in the expedition." Nothing Is officially known of tho whereabouts of Kilpatrick. It Is said, in well informed circles, that on Monday ho was In Spottsylvanla Court House, widen. accoraing to tho Vairiu , Islii mfles truin' Richmond. An officer who arrived here last night from tho Army of the Potomac, reports that when last heard from Kilpatrick was within eighteen miles of Rich mond. This, however, may be o mere surmise, ns there is no communication by which such a Cict could be ascertained. Custar’s move was to drive or draw olf the attention of the enemy, while Kil patrick journeyed in another direction. The suppo sition is that he got a lair start, with no daogcrin his rear. He has certainly had time to reach Rich mond, If such was a part of the plan of operations. The New Tork Times Washington special says: “ Nothin? reliable has reached Washington con cerning Kilpatrick’s movements. There was a re port at Brandy Station to-dar, brought In by a de serter, that our cavalry baa tom up several miles oftbe track of the Virginia Central Railroad, be tween Louisa Court Uouso and Taylorsville. A de serter further stales that the troops which had been dispatched to Richmond to defend it against our cavalry were obliged to return, owing to a break in the road. Several bridges were destroyed. The rebels cannot repair the damage In less time than ten days. Wo shall probably hear of Kilpatrick at buflolk. New Yore, March .3 The Washington special to the Herald, dated Headquarters Army of the Potomac, February 20 says: - “ Kilpatrick, at the head of a large force of cavol ry, left this place on Saturday evening, on a grand expedition. Ttartrengto of the entire command, we do not deem It judidoua to publish at the mas. enttime. On Satunhiynight the command nrooer encamped at old Verdicrsrille, on the Fredericks bnro and Orange C H. Plank Road, eight miles south of tho Rapldnn. b On Sunday morning the force demonstrated in front of the enemy’s works upon Mine Run, deploy- infantry, in order to cause the enemy to mass in that locality to resist an attack. In this capaci ty they acted all day, and at night rested in a retired and safe position between VerdlcreviUc and Robinson’s Tavern. At three o’clock on Mon day morning, General Kilpatrick took up his line of march southward toward the Junction of the Vir ginia Central and Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, arriving at Spottsylvanla Court House just at dark. From this point, ColonclDohlgren, with a selected detachment from the cavalry, was dispatched to Frederick’s Hall, midway between the junction of the above named roads and Gordons villc, where had been parked the whole of the reb el reserve artillery. Colonel Dahlgren was to have destroyed the artillery, the roads and telegraph lines, and rejoin General Kilpatrick, or report in the morning (Tuesday, March Ist. At 7 o’clock last evening the expedition was heard from, and then everything was going on swimmingly, and accord ing to the programme. Frederick’s Hall Is4omileß per rail from Richmond and Hanover Junction is2s. Washixotok, March 3.—The Star of this evening saver We have late interesting information from the front to the effect that Gen. Kilpatrick, with a force of picked cavalrymen, has arrived at White House and formed a Junction with the force sent up by Butler from the Peninsula. This statement Is baaed on fact as two of General Kilpatrick’s scouts havocome back and made tho above report, and the report is believed in the army of the Potomac. Kilpatrick Is thus within a few miles of Rich mond, and as Gen. Butler is co-operating with him we may expect to hear of startling news from that quarter in a day or two. On his route to White House, Kilpatrick haring orders so to do, avoided meeting any largo force of rebels. After he had left the front, another party of 800 picked cavalry were sent out to communicate with him. They however mot a rebel force, and as their order? were not to fight if it could be avoided, they moved towards the East, and the commander not striking the direct road come upon a party of rebels near Fredericksburg and captured them and burnt their camp and destroyed a quantity of valuable army stores, and passed on their way to join Kilpatrick. from «EIV.

WHAT THE REBELS SAY, New Yobs, March S. —We have Richmond papers to Monday last, inclusive. The Mobile Advertiser and Begiiter says? Re ports from above are in some respects conflicting, and are as yet too indefinite to base a satisfactory judgment on. Major Fleming, of tho Mobile and Ohio Railroad, who returned at a late hour last night from Meridian, states that the enemv divided their forces at or near Morton, the main body de flecting to the right, and taking the direction of Mobile; the other column bearing to the left, and pursuing tho route of the retiring forces of General Polk. There hr.d been no fighting of moment yet,' the Yankees Appearing desirous To avoid a fight; hut Leo and Forrest were busy in their rear. They were marching rapidly, with their front ind rear protected 'dv their cavalry, and, m Fleming's judg ment, r/ould strike the Mobile and OhloßaQroad in tho'vlcinity of Shabuta, or perhaps Enterprise, point they might reach this cvenbgor to • nir'at. General Polk, with Forney's and French’s duvisions, was west of Meridian, near tiu Chicks . aarrba river, to. dispute their progrcu intiat qnar -1 ter, while 8 larce force Is being rapidly transported 1 to meet anp threatened movemenU ta thia iirectlon. | Some or the prisoner* captored torn Uc earn. have on their bats the profane motto, “Mobile or hell.’ One account says that the Yankees were at Ben ton yesterday. Another report places It in oar possession. Up to this boar of writing, we are without (briber advices of a positive character. No body can tell ns where the enemy is. which is a lit tle singular, considering the respectable number* . in which ho was reported. We don’t see how 50,000 men conld bo so completely hidden away for three or four days; for bo it remembered that eince they were visible to our troop?, who offered them battle at at Horton on Monday, which they declined, we have hot heard of them. We think it venr doubtful whether the enemy’s Infantry has or er been south of the Southern Road, while perhaps ? 11370 m ade a dash at tho Holme and Ohio line. riwll not be surprised to learn at any mo ment that the Yankees hare retraced their steps to Jackson, haring got enough of their inexplicable mojcmcnt.

We have no idea, however, that this retrograde movement has been made from any pressure by the enemy in front, but was probably caused by the advance of forces through Cumberland Gap, threatening our rear. A Jonesboro, East Tennessee, telegram of the 24th says: rOuranry has met with no disaster or re verse, but is stronger and In better condition to day than It has ever been since Us occupation of the country. The Bristol Gazette of the 26th says: “Some thing Is the matter in front. Longstreet baa fallen beck to Greenville and Bull’s Gap. Portion of his forces crossed at Strawberry Plains on Saturday last, and were attacked by the enemy who drove oar forces back. The pontoon bridges were cat loose to keep the enemy from pursuing. The report Is that Longstrcct fell back to prevent a flank move ment.
