Tlie news from Sherman is lar better than *1 would be if it sustained tbe rumor that was yesterday on Us dally rounds, that At lanta had been occupied. We do not want Atlanta, nor any longer marches lor the brave army which Sherman has led Into Georgia. Tbe> set out to find and whip the enemy. We have hoped the rebels will stay and he whipped. The news that comes from Gen. £hcnuao, that in the sharp battle carried on ly Fighting Joe Hooker's corps, that Veteran ’ won a handsome success Sid captured four thousand of tbe jrrajbacks. Surely that is better thin Ihe occupation of a deserted and stripped Jxbcl town, and the four rebel prisoners wc trust may become ten times that number presently, when Sherman gets Ids blade in behind the rebel harvest that only doubtfully stands up to he reaped. We hope From Georgia we shall haveforthe next week only the eharp clang of battle, and that the 5-cbels there in arms will be thereby attended 10. The pendulum warfare of the rebels, has helped them rather than us. Don’t pray for the occupation of Atlanta and Richmond, hut for the utter rout of the rebel armies. Time-enough after that'to beat up the cold Siesta. Our New York dispatch gives ns by far tbe Shoe! circumstantial and detailed. enumera lion ol the rebel force in their recent raid into Maryland. It may be •‘received as en tirely reliable, and secures for the resent in vasion a respectable place in the annals of the war, as a movement In force. We can not believe the results quite satisfy the jt-bels. The retiring rebel raiders have come to fresh trouble in the Shenandoah valley,where »ur troopers pressed them so sorely that they burned an entire train- of wagons to prevent its recapture. The news o{ last night also confirms the reported success of Avcrtll in cutting to pieces Early’s division Sind capturing 500 prisoners. .Nothing new from Grant, except that he is pushing forward hie plan, and will not be hurried. He is entrenching himself where he is, so strongly, that only a small share of his army will be needed to bold that point of advantage against the rebels. When this is done, lie army will have work to do, and the hour is near. It may be precipitated by the rebels who will makp tremendous efforts to shake Grant’s harpoon out of its present lodgement. The news from Charleston is that our .forces made a successful attack upon'the enemy’s right, on Johnson’s Island. After wards the rebels attacked our position and Were repulsed with severe loss in two furi ous attempts. These indications are conclu sive that with'their present numbers our army before Charleston is in no condition for any extensive movement or operations. But lor this people there is to be no op portULity for curious looking lor war news. The call is for men. The need is pressing, and we have now a law of draft that will bring ns troops. Let the quotas be filled by volunteering as largely as may be. With diligence at this work only, a light draft will hef:<l our community, but the balance will he surely collected under the provisions of Jhe law. We give on another page of tht« issu*. In dir important St Louis letter, one of the 3iioet rt markable reviews that has yet been published of certain hitherto mysterious jeaturcs of the campaign on the Lower Mis sissippi. It will, os It deserves to do, create Onore than a ripple in certain pools of cor ruption that need a healthy stirring up, il Biot a complete draining. A tresh speck ot disturbance comes from Coles county, Iu this State, and the tragic end is announced of some of the perpetrators 5n the late massacre of Union soldiers at Charleston, in that county. The proof is, as aforetime, abundant, that in that section of the State, material exists as hostile to the Governihcnt as any to be found Bixic; Put 5t exists so surrounded and grasped by Fed eral power, that if it attempts to strike it will be crushed and destroyed. It it invites Much on issue the end will be sure and exem plary. ■Will Jewett, the great Pacificator, go forth with to Colorado, and try tala hand on the hostile Indiana? They have cot the Over land Telegraph wire, and are raising a dls -1 urbance generally. A dispatch from Omaha yesterday reports'that they have created great panic along the exposed points on the line of travel across the plains. A party of hostile redskins attacked a train of emigrants en route, composed of men, women and children. Quit*; a sharp.light ensued, and nothing but the plucky resistance of the male defenders of the party saved It from mas sacre. Jewett, go ont and j.-ucificate the In flate. Com- a while flag, or, what will do os well, borrow a white coat from somebody von know. It locks to us ns If Mr. Greeley hid recent ly lulu down In very disreputable company, and fulfilled tbc vulgar proverb by “getting up with fleas,' 1 whereof the largest ol the tribe went off with him is Lis ear from Niagara Falls. It Is not the first time he ins jrone on a diplomatic maunder with Colorado Jewett. The association hoe never done Mr. Greeley any honor, and yet to him it is due Ipat the addle pried ex-auctloneer has achieved a notoriety. Jewett firmly believes 5s lame. We do not wonder Mr. Greeley vent back to New fork chagrined. It should teach Lima lesson. He is not too old to learn that such sprats as Sanders and Jewett are not even respectable as pilot fish, end bring no body in their wake. The reported resignation of Secretary Stanton Is not confirmed. It is, however, a comfortable thing to know where to find a good substitute in case you need one. Gold bad another chill yesterday and fell to 252>£. Probably since it tnrned the point of 2001 be transaction s have been very light and mainly among the gold gamblers them selves. Our Cairo dispatch brings us au interest ing summary of news from within the rebel lines in the Southwest, brought by a deserter from Forrest’s force. “How about the Tribune’s dispatch from Missouri? Great rebel conspiracy in the Northwest, plan for a separate republic, many persons implicated. Do you believe all that ?” If your interrogator is a Copper head of the outer circle, he will perhaps in- Docently enough deride the whole story, and Mou, if you have never understood this war, will very likely fall at work and help him. Perhaps both will vote that newspapers nowadays must have their sensations, and •my story that will sell papers Is always fish an the journalist’s net. Nevertheless it Is Strictly true that one vast rebel plot com prehends the whole Northwest, There are men among ns who arc working for it os dIL as ever the Southern rebels wrongbt at thf parent rebellion. All these alike dc jidc the war, each in their sphere oppose the government, while those of the in nermost have gripped hands with the rebels In arms. The scheme is thus being carefully nurecd, too dangerous and startling to be entrusted to many ol those who are actnallv helping It on. The disturbances in the border States, the riots and organizations for resistance to the Federal law in one of own States are part and parcel ol the same 3-ebel machinery for further disruption. We do not regret that shortly the Government by u conscription is to touch with fire some of these rebel mines of treason. It will be an eventful portion of this crisis, but so shall their explosion be met and quelled, and ont of it the Government will come triumphant Jt is a trial we cannot escape. The enemies of the Government lurk all through the Northwest Be ready for the unmasking Jhat will surely come. THE DRAFT. Important Beculatloni in Delation to the Ulc Call for Troop*.

Far, Provost Marshal General. fko.ti coi.es corare, 11.1., A Derived Copperhead Disturbance Tragic Bad of the O’Holn. [From our Own Correspondent.] Caioo, July 20, 1854. An incident which occurred on the 16tb Inst., not for from the residences of at least two ol the principal actors, has freshly brought to mind the Coles county murder, which took place at Charleston, In this State, aome fourmonths since. The particulars of this event have perhaps been sufllcientlv dwelt upon by the public press, bnt the nu merous attempts on the part of the secession prints to create capital out of the alleged kid napping or spiriting away of a portion of the gang engaged In the bloody deed, and the oc currence of the late tragedy cousin germain. to it, lead me to briefly recapitulate some of the facts connected with the murder. The 54th niluols volunteers, most of them residents of the vicinity, were at home en joying their well-earned furlough. There were several of this command at Charleston. The Copperheads, tme to their instincts and hating with a hitter hate the noble defenders of thdr countiy, to put not to fine a point npon the matter, resolved to seek occasion to murder these veteran soldiers. A public meeting furnished the ex cuse. John H. O’flair, the Sheriff of Coles county, as was snbsequentlv shown, went about the county draining up' recruits jocct at Charleston, get up an armed mob. and then make an attack upon the unarmed and unprepared military. When blood had once been spilled, they contdentlv anticlpa- Icd.that their friends would rally from every direction, and a kind of miniature civil war would be the result. But the prompt meas ures taken by tbe military prevented’thelr cowardly allies from coming to their assist ance. But the murder was committed— blood did flow in the streets of Charleston. Men came to tbe place with guns and revolv ers bidden In the hay strewn at the bottom of their wagon boxes. Many had pistols and knives upon their persons. As many as fonr'or five guns were taken from one wagon. The assailing party were some thirty or forty in number. There was a con certed plan; tbe plan was in a measure car ried out. The leaders in tbe assault were John H % O’Hair, the Copperhead Sheriff, Nelson Wells, John and Yvm. Frazier, and others. In addition to these, some 209 more wue reported, ready armed, at Jasper, a few miles south 01 Charleston. Nine victims of this bloody conspiracy sleep in their green graves, among them Dr. York, Surgeon of the 54th Illinois. Dr. York, witnessing the fight between one Winkler and Col. Mitchell, essayed to go to the rescue of the latter. He was shot In the back by one EUsbnrg Hanck. This was inside and near the Court House door. York ran near the Judges’ seat, where he fell, weltering in his blood, and in a few moments expired. This is the story in brief of the Charleston riot—or more properly termed Coles conntv murder. Nine men—good, loyal and true —were killed by traitors to their country—murdered outright by Copperheads, Here is a pan only of the sequel: iTohu IL O’Hair and John Frazier, two cf the partici pants In this red-handed outrage, with a brother of the latter named William Frazier, made their escape, as was supposed, from the country ana made tracts for Canada. This was the supposition, I say, for every exertion was made for their capture, but without success. But the avenger was upon their track. On Sunday last, the 17th Inst-, rifle shots were heard in the vicinity of O’Hiiir’s settlement, five or six miles from Charleston. Upon repairing to the spot the trigbtened neighbors found two dead bodies. They were recognized as those of John H. O’Hair, -the late Sheriff and murder er, and his accomplice and friend. John Frazier. No one could be found upon whom to charge their execution. The place was dear. Of a certainty some one had penormed the act and but recently, but there was no record left to lead to_ the ideality of the man who had tnus fearfully avenged the murder ol the soldiers of the 54th. O’Halris body was pierced by seventeen bullets, John Frazier bad received nine, and their death must necessarily have been almost instanta neous. It would appear that O’Hair and Frazier had been for a long time secreted in the vicinity, where they both owned good farms, and had families, relatives and friends, but hod been traced out bvtbe avengers, and thus summarily punished* for their crimes. You may expect the Copperhead press to ho*»l over this affairand stigmatize it, as they have stigmatized the Coles county affilr, as an uncalled forand bloody mnrder. Let them bowl. x. H. W, Mattoon, HL, Friday. July 22.—0n yes terday, when the pay car ol the Terre Haute and Alton Railroau was due, near Ashmore, some unknown reprobates *tore ap the track in the hope of robbing it of railroad money to make a raise to carry on their nefarious plots. However, they were too ignorant to he successful. After the car nad passed over the torn rails, It was stopped, and the would be robbers were seen skulking ofl; too fast to be caucht. The tools need were captured, •*ud some of the men arc known, hut as yet .o arrests have been mode. Should there be iny more trouble here, we think the leaders, who are now known, will regret tht-lr en llr.TtVn. w excite a thieving, ignorant mob against a peaceful community, who possess the determination to protect themselves.

THE NEW LOAN’, The advertisement for the 7-30 loan will appear on Monday or Tuesday of next week. No special amount will be called for, the only limit being that fixed by law, which provides for the issue of $200,000,000. Sub scriptions will be received for from SSO to' $5,000. The advertisement will be accompa nied by a brief appeal to the people to come forward and help their Government to carry on the war. In this paper the Secretary will set forth the exact condition of the finances, that subscribers to the new loan may be ad vised of the precise value of their invest ment to themselves and the Government The statement in the New York Herald and other journals, that it has not been de cided whether to make the seven-thirty notes convertible into five or six per cent bonds, Is incorrect; there never was any doubt that the bonds in question would bear six per cent interest, and it was decided, as we tele graphed three days ago, that they should be 5-20s, running from August Ist, 1867. The statement In the New York papers that Secretary Fessende'n had gone North and to his home is incorrect. He has hot left the city,and will not do so for a week or ten days. THE COAST BLOCKADE. The Southern Atlantic Blockading Squad ron reports the capture of two small block ade runners, with thirty bales of cotton and ten boxes of tobacco, and one rebel emissary Fuller. DEPARTMENTAL. The pnblic should know that most of the sensational paragraphs which appear in the New York TTbrid as special dispatches from Washington, were never sent from here either by telegraph or mall, hut were manu factured out of whole cloth in New York. This is the case with reference to the state ment lately published concerning Cabinet changes. The assertion in the World of Wednesday that Secretiry Stanton had re-’ signed or been removed, never bad the slightest foundation in fact or in rumor. Everybody in Washington knew it .to be ut terly false, hut people at a distance do not seem to he so well Informed as tbc menda cious news of the Worid. MILITAHT. General Hnnter’s request to be relieved has been refused, hut it is stated that the troops which had been detached from hie command have been restored to it PAT OF NEGRO TROOPS. In the case of a colored man appointed hospital steward previous to January Ist, 1864, the Secretary of War has ordered that he be paid at the same rate as white persons holding the same situations were paid. The Attorney Genera] his not yet promulgated any decision upon the cose of the payment of negroes in the army as soldiers previous to that date referred to him by Congress, but it is understood that he has it under advise ment.

Persons doing business with government should understand that cirtificates of in debtedness are now transmitted from the treasury by express. The-adoption of this comeeof procedure Is a blow at the middle men who have mademoney by commissions on collections, <fcc. PAYMENT OP THE ARMY. Amusements are making for the payment oftheanny to July Ist Man; of the troops are four months in arrears, it is expected that paymasters will proceed to the front with funds, very soon after the Secretary of the Treasury has offered the new loan to-the people. New York, Friday, July 23.—Dispatches received by the Western Union line, dated Atlanta, Ga., to-day state that no official on nonneement ot the capture or occupation of Atlanta has been deceived, at tins office up to this hour, 3:80 p. m. A special to the New York Commercial says that Gen. Sherman telegraphs that the enemy made another advance on his lines yes terday. New York. Friday, July 22 —The Wash ii gton special to the iW says, great efforts, are making here by the . friends of Joseph Howard, Jr , the forger of the proclamation, to effect his release, or to bring him to trlil. A special to the Commercial says a man just from the front says that Gen., Grant express ed the belief that Sherman would capture Atlanta. He likewise says the fate ot the re bellion will be settled in front of Richmond, and also declared that with 100,000 more men in our armies the rebellion could be ' crushed in 100 days. No demand has yet been made by onr Government for the delivery of the pirate Semmes—bnt the situation of affairs is such that he will probably be surrendered. If not a demand will be made on the .British Gov ernment. Dispatches received by the Government, this afternoon, announce that the rebel Gen. Johnston has been superseded by Gen. Hood, and that a battle has taken place be tween two division, In which Sherman de feated the rebels. The overland Pacific mail contract will ex pire on the 20th of September. The service is still open to those who may desire to con-, tract for its performance from the above mentioned date to June 30th, 1668. The circular and advertisement lor the new loan have not been prepared, nor are its terms fully made. The Subsistence Department has accepted the bid to supply 500,000 bris. of No. 3 flour, at from sl3 25 to sl3 CS per brl.

They state that they were in charge of one of tie plunder trains, and were overtaken near Snicker’s Gap by a portion of the pursuing force, under General Crook. A fight immediately followed, hut the train guard, finding it impossible to save the train, destroyed It by fire, and retreated* leavingthe teamsters and others at the mercy of onr forces. A letter received by an officer in Washing ton from Sandy Hook, Md., states thatminy stragglers from the retreating rebels come into that place daily and surrender them selves. The men are worn down by rapid murcblng, and many of them are barefoot and their clothes tom to tatters. The Evening Star learns from Tfbrmer citi zen of Madison county. Ya., who has for some time been sojourning in Fairfax county, that he is reliably informed that the rebel raiders met with so many mishaps iu getting away with their plunder from Maryland, that what they have managed to keep will hardly pay them lor their trouble. New Yobk, Friday, July 22.—The New York Tribune** Winchester special says: Avcrill’s fight lasted three hours. In which the rebels lost Geo. Kelly, four pieces of artillery, 200 prisoners am} 500 killed and wounded, and none missing. The -.Herald 1 * Snicker’s Terry corrcspon dent, of the 20tb, says the forces under Gdn.

"When near PurcclUville, ont of Snicker’s Gap, Duffle’s raealTT captured eighty-two of thefr wagons. More fighting was had when our troops suc ceeded in reaching the Ferry. Here they found the enemy in force, and Gen. Wright coming up, he threw several regiments across the stream, who maintained their position. He then commenced maneuvering so as to destroy the enemy, when General Early, re ceiving news from Lee, and fearing a thrash ing from Wright, packed up and left at doable quick lor Slrasburg. Gen. Wright crossed and proceeded a few miles toward Winchester, but learning nothing to change bis mind as to the direction the enemy had taken, he countermarched kft> force in obe dience to orders. v- General Avcrill reports the defeat ol Eiriy at Winchester, which must hate taken place, Immediately after he slipped away from »> right. Washington, July 21.—Last night eighty one rebel prisoners arrived here from Sandy Book, Maryland. They have been sent here by order of Brig. Gen Howe. These pris oners state that they were in charge of one of the invading plunder trains and were overhauled near Snickers 1 Gap by a portion of our pursuing forces under Gen. Cook. A brisk fight immediately ensued which con tinued with much fury forsomctlme, but the train guard finding it impossible to save the train, destroyed it by fire and retreated, leav ing tbc teamsters and others at the mercy of our forces. There are numerous other reports in the city indicating that the raiders bad lost much of their plunder. Great allowance must be made, however, lor stories in that line. NEW MILITARY ORGANIZATION^ In obedience to an order issued by Quar termaster General Meigs, the proper ofiicers are actively engaged in perfecting arrange ments for organizing the clerks and employ ees of the Quartermasters Department into permanent military commands. It is under stood that the officers will be regularly com missioned by the War Department, and fur nished with suitable badges. Some of the companies that served during the invasion will reorganize and elect new officers. THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL. The damage done to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal by the rebels In their late raid, taking the work in its whole length, is very serious. President Spates has jnst returned from a trip pf observation of the line beyond Har per’s Ferry. He found the Antletam Aque duct, twelve miles west of the Ferry, practi cally gone up, the raiders, as he learned,hav- Ing had a force of nearly two hundred en gaged In its demolition for about forty-eight hours. The Aqueduct Is a stone structure, and although the piers stand as formidably as before, the masonry of the side walls forming the trunk has been thrown off. and large holes dng through the bottom of the arch way. Much damage was done to all the docks of the canal between Antietam and Wlliialns port; also comprising that region of canal from which comes the chief flour, grain and produce trade. GENERAL HUNTER, Gen Hunter will be retained in hie present command, Government having no charge agab;st him. FROM SEW YORK. Important Ile*nme of tlie bate Raid— A'ließcbcl Force— Southern News. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] New York, Friday, July 22, I have obtained the following information regarding the strength of the rebel force which recently ievaded Maryland. I wish to give the public to understand that it is relhble, as it comes from a source which cannot be disputed, and will finally settle all discussion on this subject. The force con sisted of one division of cavalry and mounted infantry, and two small corps of infantry, all under chief command of Major Gen. Early. The cavalry forces under the chief com mand of Major Gen. Robert Ransom, was composed as follows: Imbudec’s brigade—l,soo. B. T. Johnson’s brigade—l,7oo. McCanstand's brigade—l,soo. W. L. Jackson’s brigade—£oo. Total cavalry and mountedinfentry—s,soo. The two corps of infantry are temporarily organized as follows: The Ist corps, commanded by MO* General J. C Breckinridge, is composed of Bcbo<*s division, four brigades, 4,500 strong, and Bamsay’e division, two bricades, 8.000 strong. . _ The 2d corps, commanded by Maj. Geo. Bobert Rhodes, Gordon’s division, three brigades, 3,500. Rhodes’ old division, five brigades, 6,100. Total, infantry, 16,400. Total, cavalry end mounted infantry, 6,500. Grand total 21,000, with three batteries of ar tillery. Of this force 3.000 to 4,000 were left south of the Potomac, at Lynchburg, Stanton, Gor donsrillc, Winchester, and in the gaps o the Blue Ridge. The total force which crossed the Potomac did not exceed 16,000 of all arms, including non-combatants of all kinds. The fighting strength with which they ap peared in front of Washington did not ex ceed 12,000. I repeat that no statement can be closer than this unless from the morning reports of the rebel army. I have a few late Hems from Richmond. Gen. Johnston has been finally relieved from his command, and Lieut. Gen. Hyod, having been raised to rank the same as Gens. Bragg aud Johnston, assumed command on the 17th CHICAGO, SATURDAY, JULY 28 1864, Hood eignalize'd his assumption of command by the assault which Sherman so easily re pulsed on the 20th, The Richmond Examiner of the 20th re marks : “Affairs at Atlanta begin to wear a serious aspect If Atlanta Is to be defended a battle must be delivered within a very brief period. If the enemy Is allowed to intrench, having a larger army, he will immediately outflank Hood or compel him to fall back. The eyes of tho country are anxiously tamed to this quarter." Richmond papers say the numberofhorses obtained by them in Maryland is from 5 000 to 7,000, of cattle 2,000 and 800 prisoners. Sherman, according to a rebel telegram, on the 17th had severed telegraphic and railroad communication with West Point and Mont gomery. i The peace sensation has been the promi nent topic of discussion in this city for the past tbrcc days. There are no new develop ments. Major Hay is at the Astor House to-night and has been in consultation with Horace Greeley to day concerning the part taken by the latter in the late conference. His remark of to-day that the pacification of our coun try is not so difficult or so distant: as seems generally supposed, is regarded as quite sig nificant. FROM CAIRO AftO BELOW. Interesting Summary from a Rebel Reacrter Arrived at fllemplits* [Special Dispatch to tho Chicago Tribune.] Cairo, Fridar, July 22. I hpve a copy of the afternoon iDuUetin of the 20th inst, by the steamer Maiy E. For syth, which arrived here at a late hoar last night 1 The principal item of Importance contained in the'paper is the co iftsslou or statement of a rebel deserter, Wc . A. Allen, of Kentucky, an account of whosj arrival in side onr lines was given yesterday He came in on Monday last, riding a fine horse, stat ing that he had business at hindquarters. When taken to the Provost Marshal's office and asked his business, before almunber of ladles, he wrote upon a slip of taper “one of Forrest’s soldiers, at your service.” He was then taken before General Washburn and was subjected to a rigid questioning, the result of which is the following important and apparently truthful news from dixie. After giving the information, Allen started fur the North. • Allen was induced to quit the rebel service by lelters.from his relations and friends In Kentucky, inducing a gradual change in his ideas upon the subject He believed the dream of secession was a delusion. Ho had a Lieutenant’s commission under Forrdst He confirms, tbe reported wounding of Gen, Forrest in the late light with Gen. Smith, at Tupelo, and the capture of a greater portion of the 7th Tennessee regiment Allen had been conscripting for Forrest, and had col lected sixty deserters, when he abandoned the rebel cause and came within our lines. He reports the following changes in rebel commanding officers: T. D. Lee has been placed in command of the trans-Mississippi department, in place ol Gen. Polk, deceased. Gen. Nnley commands Richardson’s old brigade, the latter having been charged with making two millions of dollars out of the conscripting business. Richardson escaped punishment, however, and at present is living in retirement somewhere in West Tennessee. Col. Green, living in Tipton* county, was killed at Ripley, two days before the battle at Tupelo. Forrest, Roddy, Faulkner and Buford were in the late fight Kirby Smith would have been there, but could not get across the Mississippi. Allen was in tlje fight at Gnntown. He bad to face Sturgis’ cannon, and says his opinion was that oar General was a novice in fighting. After the Gnntown affair it wag reported that Smith was coming after them, and For rest checked bis advance upon Memphis. Allen heard Forrest say that if Smith was af ter them, they would have to do some des perate fighting.? CoL Wisdom, of Bell’s rebel brigade, was killed in tbe fight with Sturgis. He says it is a fallacy to suppose that the negrucw Trill not fight. They did the hardest portion of the fighting at Gnntown. The rebels lost about 1,500, mostly by them. The blacks aimed wonderfully sure, most of their victims being shot through tbe bead or breast. On bis route, within our lines, Allen met the noted guerilla Cnsbman, who has been several times In Federal bands, but always managed to escape. He was at Loose Hatchie River, in command ol seventy-five men, en gaged in stealing horses and negroes and the robbery of those unfortunate enough to foil into his clutches. He stole five negroes, one day last week, from a farmer named Back. Allen gives an Interesting description of the Fort Pillow massacre, and continue Forrest’s abuse of the flag of truce, and says he ar ranged the details of the fight, and placed his men under them. Chalmers wanted to postpone the assault unt! l dark, but Forrest swore in an oath that he would have the place or be himself lu hell before sis o’clock. After Fort Pillow was taken Maj. Bradford obtained parole to no out and bury the body of bis brother, Capt. Bradford, but afterwards made bis es cape. He was recaptured and taken to For rest’s headquarters at * Brownsville, in Hey wood county. Forrest told him he had hat fifteen minutes to live, then ordered out a file of men to shoot him. While one of these men procured a blanket, Bradford told For rest he had fought bravely and begged hard for bis life, but Forrest would not yield. Bradford was taken to Natchie bottom, and he heard shots that killed him. Qe after wards saw his grave. lie says that at Port Pillow Forrest found one of his own men pillaging a store, and, without a moments hesitation, first cut him over the head and then ran him through the body, killing him atoncc. At tbe same fight the same officer found a man skulking behind a tree. He asked him what he was there for, when he was answer ed, “For the lack of cartridges.” Upon ex amining the soldier’s box, and finding a sup ply of ammunition, Forrest killed the man on the spot. Allen himself knew nothing of the Presi dent’s amnesty proclamation. He says that none of the Confederate soldiers know any thing about it. Were it the contrary cise, thousands would desert and come overto us. They fight because they are compelled to, and many of them ore heartily tired of the war and want to quit the badly paid, badly led and badly clad service. Buckner’s brigade bad not been paid for eighteen months. Forrest has several times been heard to say that he did not wish to attack the city of Memphis, as a large section of country de pended upon it for supplies. He gives the whereabouts of various gue rilla gangs in Tennessee, as follows: Cush man, Gamble and Porter, of Memphis, and Major Hicks, are all in West Tennessee— mainly in Lauderdale, Obion and Dier coun ties. They prey upon every class of people. They shot a man named Thurmond Miller last week. Southern people think that if Lee and Johnston are beaten the secession will at once come to an end. They hare little con fidence In Johnston, and are tired of the dreadful pressure to which they hare been subjected. Stephen B. Lee, in speaking of guerilla?, said he wished the Fcderals might citch and kill Cnshman and every one of his gang, as they were nothing but thieves. Forrest got 3,000 men by his conscripting expedition into Kentucky. Allen says that at the fight with Stnrgis, at Bolivar, May 25tb, 500 men could have cap tured the whole of the rebel trains, os there were only 350 men to keep Stnrgis at bay. The steamer Rocket arrived from Colum bus thls k afternoon. This is Adjutant General Thomas' boat, but this officer is now in Kea- tncky. When some ‘eight miles below this pUce, near Norfolk, her Captain discovered about one hundred guerillas on the Missouri shore, but not within rifle range. The Rocket hav ing one brass howitzer on board, opened fire upon them and scattered them in all direc tions. The rebels were well mounted, armed and equipped. They were engaged in driv ing the residents of the place from their homes; the latter were escaping Iq skiffs to the Kentucky side. Yesterday about noon-seven guerillas came into Norfolk and robbed Mr. Mercer's store of a considerable quantity of dry goods. They also stole two horses from fl former and left in a great hurry. They were formerly residents of Charles ton, Mo., and some of them were in good standing. The whole compiny of gnetillis is reported to be in the vicinity of Charles ton, where they are committing many depre- dations. Probably the same partiw that were fired upon by the Rocket. Yesterday, the dispatch steamer brought up two rebel ranll carriers, named J. L. Malden and Hudson Pollock, who were ar rested by the officersof the gunboat Gazelle, They used a skiff to cross the river, they carefully concealed when not in use. A few nights before their capture, they cross ed over a refugee, and supposing him to be a rebel, disclosed to him their plans and opc rations. No moil matter was found upon their premises, but on Malden was found a detail from the commander of the trans Mississippi Department, assigning him to duty hs moil-carrier and ferryman. Pol lock acknowledges that he had taken the amnesty oath. They are both in the guard house in this city. Chas. C. Phillips, for two years past Cairo correspondent of the Chicago Tims*, died on Monday last at New Albany, Ind., of con sumption. Through the interference of naval and mil itary authorities all trade with Kentucky and Missouri has again been stopped. The navy is now engaged in dcstroving all skiflfr and other ferries used of late for transporting family supplies across the Ohio and Missouri rivers. Smuggling discovered probably led to tbis action. A gentleman just up from Deaoto.-lnforms ns that two bushwhackers caught in some devilment near that place by the militia, were taken out and shot on Wednesday. - The evidence of their lawlessness, it is said, was complete, but we have two ver sions of the Immediate cause oi the shooting. One, that the men were shot while attempt ing to escape, and the other, that the militia were tired of guarding such fellows. . Henry Boyd, the English spy, whobttempt cd to escape from the Planters’ Boose a lew months ago, and was so badly injured, has been released from the military .prison In bonds of SSOO. . FB05& NT. L«UI§. A Slni-tllng Rebel Plot of Great IQCns> Llindo-ihe Guerilla War lu an*, sonrl. [Special Dispatch to tbe Chicago Tribune.} St. Louis, Friday, July 22. A few weeks since, several very prominent secessionists were arrested In this city caus ing great surprise, especially os their offenses were unknown. It has leaked out, lately, that these traitors are connected with a con- splracy which extends from Lake Superior to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic to Kansas, having for its object nothing leas than the establishment ol a Northwestern Confederacy, and the overthrow of the Unlon. This is no sudden scarce or fright, the evidence has been accumulating in the hands ofCoL Sanderson, the Provost Marshal Gen eral of this department, for many months, and is all in the President’s possession. It implicates many public men, and shows the organization to be formidable in strength and dangerous If undiscovered. There is no concealment of the fact that one of the ar rested parties was in aach bodily fear that a bond of $500,000 was offered for his release. The guerilla outbreak in Missouri have been the commencement oi the programme for carrying out the scheme. Col. Sahierson has been engaged night and day procuring evidence olthls conspiracy, and has from time to time taken the precaution to avert the consequences. It was while investigating the conspiracy that he discovered the intention of the rebels to renew the burning of steamboats on the Western waters. This discovery has been known to leading Unionists in tnis city fora long time, but from motives of prudence kept concealed. Now sufficient Is known to insure the public that in a few days the whole particulars will be divulged. Till then abide In peace. Foet Leavenwobth, Kansas, Monday, July 22.—A dispatch, this morning, from Gen. Ford, Liberty,Mo.,says the people In the country north and cast of that place are joining Thornton, and his forces are increas ing rapidly. Ford has his troops wull in hand, but his force is too small to effect much, and rein forcements are asked for. Arms had been sent from here to St. Joseph and Kansas City for arming loyal meu called ont by General Fisk. A later dispatcltfrom Gen. Ford, states that Thornton, with 2,000 men, is moving north, probably with the Intention of striking the railroad. Plattsburg and Marvin were In their possession last night. Gen, Ford left Liberty this morning in pursnit. Cartls has several armed boats patrolling the Missouri river to prevent the rebels from crossing. Pickles and Banks are reported to have 1,000 men in Southwest Missouri threatening Fort Scott and our southern communica tions; It is believed that 5,000 of Prices’ men are in Missouri. These, joined by Thornton’s guerillas and Pasrpaws, will moke a formidable force. A portion of our State Militia has been culled cut, and troops in this department will be concentrated for co-operation. Gon. Blunt is here waiting orders. ■ The Indians arc troublesome on the West ern Tolerado mail route. Rumors prevail of tbe capture of Fort Lamed and poat,*at Wal nut Creek, by them. St. Joseph, Mo., Friday, July 23.—'Thorn ton’s guerillas turned back Irom Livingston county lost night and occupied Kingston, in Caldwell county. After being Joined by an other band from the west, the combined force, numbering some 500 marched on Plattsbnrg, Clinton county, where the sur render ol the garrison, consisting of two companies of militia was demanded in the same of the Confederate States army. Capt. • Turner, commanding tb.e post, refused to surrender, and told his men to escape. A light ensued, in which Turner was killed. Most of the escaped militia have arrived here. General Fisk’s appeal is being promptly responded to, and the men sent into the field at once. One thousand men under General Ben Loon will-soon be here from Andrew county. FROM I^DIOAPOL».

FKOM DESHOOES. interesting Question of Jurisdiction. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Dzsnoctss, lowa, Friday, July 22,13&t Major Lusby, commanding the 10th in fantry, yesterday sued out a writ of Ao&cjm corpus to take Mcßoberts, a soldier of the regiment, from the custody of Sheriff Bush, and Bush answered that Mcßoberts was held by authority of a bench warrant issued upon an indictment found against him for murder. The counsel for the writ claimed that Me- Roberts, being in the military, service, he was properly triable by court martial, and without demand upon the proper officers he conld not be taken from their custody. The counsel for the State contended that the civil authority was superior to the military; that the crime was committed while the soldier was on furlough, and not subject to military orders; that the act was committed without such order, and that the civil authorities, having taken jurisdiction of the matter, the prisoner could not be given up. Judge Cole, before whom the proceeding was bad, remanded the prisoner to the sher iff's custody, on tbe ground that Mcßoberts was not under the Immediate jurlsd.lcUQr* hS^.l • and control of the military authorities of the United States at the time the offense was alleged to .have been committed and the fii-rest made, and that under the act of Con gress in such cases no demand of the mill ta ry authorities was required or intended.

An Attack of tbie Rebels on Island—lwo Furious Attacks Re* pulsed* New York, Friday, July 22 —The Tribune's Hilton Head correspondent gives an account of the fighting on John’s Island. It was evi dent on the Bth that the enemy were concen trating a pretty strong force against us. The Charleston troops remained-on James Island and reinforcements were - thrown against Generals Hatch and Saxon on Johns Island as early as the 7th. Gen. Blrncy had been back- to Florida, and the command. of his brigade devolved on Col. Montgomery. On the* morning of the Tth, CoL Davis, 108 th Pennsylvania, held the advance, and was supported by a section of the 3d New York artillery, Lieut, Wilts. While the Colonel was standing on a little . eminence with glass in hand, cx-iminlng the enemy’s position, he was fired- on by the . rebels, and a shell exploded in his right hand, carrying anay all Us fingers. The enemy soon advanced upon our position, and attempted to cross a bridge from which we had removed a port of the plonk. The action lasted about an hoar. The ene . my was driven back, and the fighting for the day thus ended. It became evident that the enemy was con centrating on John’s Island. Montgomery’s .brigade was ordered to reinforce our troops there. He reached the scene of action abont midnight or 1 o’clock on the qjh. He was ordered to relieve Col. Van Wick, of the 56th New York, bnt the gallant Colonel sent back word that he was still able to hold his po sition. Montgomery’s force was held In reserve. At early dawn the enemy came down upon our advance, and no doubt surprised- the pickets and advance guard of thelWth Penn sylvania, Lient. Col. Hortnow commanding. At any rate this old veteran regiment, com posed of os good material as there is In the army, was driven from its position and sent to the rear. CoL Montgomery threw in the 7th U. S. colored troops and repolsed the rebels.* On Saturday three attacks were repulsed. The Her aid*a Hilton Head correspondent says the object of the;exp2ditlou to John’s Island being to withdraw troops from Sa vannah and other points, and being fully ac complished, our forces were withdrawn. While our losses, including that of the 152 d Pennsylvania, will not exceed 150 killed, wounded and miss mg, that of the rebels most have been over 500. New Yobk, Friday, July 22 —The EeraWs correspondent at Hilton Head, July 13tb says: Since my last letter there has been se vere fighting by our forces on Johnson’s Island, under General Hatch, composing a part of the recent expedition. General Six ton sent a regiment, on Thursday to attack the rebel right, where a battery hod been eta tloncd. The meu charged at double-quick, and so furiously that the enemy retreated in ;reat confusion. We came very near caotnr ng the battery, which had just time to Um ber up and be ofi; with considerable loss. A fight occurred on Saturday morning the enemy having received their reinforcements The attack was made by tbe rebels, who ad vanced at about four o’clock, under cover of a-heavy fog, and drove in onr pickets nearly opposite Fort Pringle. At a quarter before six o’clock, they advanced In force, and a fight of fifteen minutes followed, in which the rebels were thoroughly repulsed- Strengthened again, the enemy made another advance at o’clock, and attempted to carry onr position by assault Oar troops restrvea their fire till the rebels were almost upon them, when, with double shotted guns, they opened with grape and canister, mow ing down the advancing columns by tbe score. The infantry also kept up an accu rate and continuous Ore with musketry, at such short range that great havoc was made. •Inflvo-or ten minutes from the time of the attack, the-, enemy retreated in great confu sion, without having even reached onr front rifle-pits. Their artillery opened on ns -with great fury, and underits fire the rebel infant ry took shelter. Our loss in kiUed, wounded and missing was only aigbty-two, and some of the wound ed are only slightly injured. A Copperhead Journalist In Newark, N. J., Friday, July 22, E. X. Fuller, edi tor ol the Newark Evening Journo!, was arrested to-day on two warrants. The first was lor inciting to insurrection, and the second was lor discouraging enlistments, as provided for by section five of the En rollment act.

Disastrous Fire at Philadelphia Philadelphia, Friday, July 23.—The Government wagon factory of Simons, took fire at S o’clock this evening, and it will, probably, be entirely consumed. It U the largest of the kind in the country. The Late Fire in the Tfoods on Long Inland. Lakeland, July IS.—The fire referred to as raging since the 13*.h inst., on the Island, has been finally extinguished. The lire spread over I,OCO acres, extending sis miles in length and nearly three in breadth. It is rumored that it had its origin from the emp ty lugs of a tobacco pipe thrown out by some person on the road leading from Ocean ave nue to the South Country read. The loss of property is very heavy. The rope-walk of Joseph Anger, with all his gar den produce; the Bank of Fort Edward lost 300 acres ot young wood; 1,500 acres in trust to Mr. Young, our postmaster, was swept clean; Mr.B. W. Franklin, fifty acres of good wood; Mrs. Fleet, 200 acres and all her’erops; and many others lost equally se vere. Many have lost all their wood and crops. The total loss cannot at present be estimated, bnt mast amount to many thous ands ol dollars. There were several instances of persons having their hands, faces, clothes, &c., burn ed, but no lives were lost. My company of dremen—that Is, the farmers—woiked man fully and daringly for three days and nights, and our engine consisted of ths spide, pick, plow, anci'back-flring, which has proved a successful machine.
