OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.
Prescott, Wisconsin, August 14- 18&1-
Donor to Whom it is Due.
It must Imvo been apparent io eveiy
candid reader of the reports of the
movements of our armies thus far in this
campaign, that our foreign born citizens
Lave acted a noble part. Yet wo fail to
see in our exchanges such a recognition
of their valuable services as they deserve.
When the call to arms was made, our
citizens of German and Irish birth were
foremost in enrolling their names as de
fenders of those institutions for which
too many to “the manor born” had
been wont vauntingly to proclaim their
devotion, but were found slow to back
their words by deeds, when the day of
trial came. A very large proportion of
our volunteer army is composed of rep
resentatives of these two nations, and
from what we have heard of their fight
ing, it would be no more than fair to
call them the back bone of the army.—
They are among the first to enter the
battle, nnd the last to leate it ; hardy
and fearless, tbev are indispensable—a
credit and a pattern to the army.
Nor are the merits of these, our adop
ted citizens, in the array, confined merely
to their bravery and powers of endu
rance. Some of the very best of our
officers are of these nationalities—we
would that there were more of them.—
There are Germans and mon of other
European nations, by scores—old and
tried military men—who would sene
with skill, and honor to our flag as offi
cers, were they appointed to these posi
tions; and one great mistake is that
their claims have not been recognized. —
This we think will appear before many
months shall have passed away.
Our National liberty is best apprecia
ted bv those who have flown to our
shores from mcnarchia! governments. —
'They know the evils against which our
Democratic form of government protects
the people, and hence their willingness
and eagerness to fight that our free in
stitutions may remain to us intact. They
are to a gaeatcr extent than is generally
supposed, the salt which has preserved
the nation. If we had now and then,
since the days of the revolution, felt the
iron hand of despotism clutching at our
national vitals, it would not now be said
that ‘‘the love of many has grown eokl.’»
The time has come when he who would
teach “Native Americanism” should be
treated with as much contempt as a
rebel.— Green Bay Advocate.
Cutting up the Black Horses.
•‘The New York Zouaves received the
first charge of the famous Black Horse I
Guard, about which Gov. Wise has so
often spoken. It was a splendid corps j
of cavalry, all the horses of which were
coal black. They cam- upon the Zouave
regiment at a gallop, aud were received
br the brave firemen upon their poised
bavoncts, followed instantly by r. volley,
from which they broke and fled, though
several of the Zouaves wero cut down in
the assault. They quickly returned with
their forces doubled—perhaps 600 or
TOO—and again they dashed with fear
ful yells upon the excited Zouaves. This
time thev bore an American flag, and a
part of the Zouaves supposed for au in
stant that they were friends, whom they
had originally mistaken. The flag was
quickly thrown down, however, the hor
ses dashed upon the regiment, the ruse
was discovered, and the slaughter com
menced. No quarter, no baiting, no
flinching now, marked the rapid and
death-dealing blows of our men, as they
closed in upon the foe, in their madness
and desperation. Our brave fellows fell,
the ranks filled up, tho sabers, bowie
knives and bayonets glistened in the sun
light, horse after horse went down, pla
toon after platoon disappeared—the rat
tle of musketry, the screams of the
teUls, the shout of “ Remember Ells
worth from the lungs of the Zouaves,
•nd the yells of the wounded and crush
ed belligerents filled the air, and a terri
ble carnage succcded. Tho gallant Zou
aves fought to the death, and were sadly
cut up; but of those hundreds of Black
Horse Guards, not many left that bloody
recounter I”"
Perhaps the most important item
of news is the order that fugitive slaves,
now confined, shall be liberated, and em
ployed at fair compensation on the mili
tary works; the same rule to apply to
negroes coining within our lines. This
will be baited with satisfaction by the
whole country.

Sixth Regiment Correspondence.
Camp Cutler, near Harrisburg, >
July 31st, 1861. )
Dear Lute :—Our Regiment arrived
here last night at 12 o’clock and stretch
ed immediately on the ground with noth
ing over them but the blue sky an d noth
ing under but their blankets. Our jour
ney here was one perfect ovation —
beginning with Milwaukee and ending
onlv at our destination. The boys had
been paid off in gold and silver at Madi
son, and seemed to have more money
than they knnv what to do with. Over
§27,000 were paid to our Regiment,
and as a consequence the boys had a jol
ly time, buying everything liey wanted
along the road. A splond id dinner was
served us at Milwaukee and a fine supper
iu Chicago. We proceeded from Chica
go the same evening by the Fort Wayne
Road and arrved in Pittsburgh Tuesday
morning at daylight, going immediately
from thence by the Pennsylvania Road
to this place. In Chicago we marc bed
through the principal streets, and com
pany B. was cheered an d complimented
on all sides for its soldierly bearing and
correct marching. At Munroeville, In
diana, it was presented with a Flag, the
boys singing the Star-Spangled Banner
and Dixie for the donors. It was amu
sing all along the route to witness the
demonstrations at every house. The
men, women and children would run out
with table cloths, aprons, sheets, and ev
en thing that could be snatched up at
the moment, and wave until the cars
were out of sight. No company enjoy
ed it more than the Prescott Guards.—
The scenery in the Alleghany Mountains
is grand to those who have never seen
mountain scenery before;, but I have not
time to describe it now. At Cressen, a
place on the top of the mountain, we
saw General—late Major Anderson and
his daughter. He is there recruiting his
health. His daughter came by the side
of the train and waved the U. S. Flag
while nine cheers were given with a will
by the soldiers for her. The tents were
pitched this morning, and what was a
mere stubble field last night is now
changed to a beautiful white city, where
we will abide nntil to morrow, when we
shall again take up the line of march for
Harper's Ferry. The sth Wis. is here,
and will take the same route. The city
is full of soldiers and at present is under
martial law. Company B. is in good
spintsand are remarkably healthy; while
other companies are suffering by sick
ness company B. is in fine condition.
One d> y’s ratiors were issued to-day,
consisting of crackers, cheese and ham.
Strict camp life has began, everything
being done in strict military style. We
have not yet received our nrms. but ex
pect to in a few days. More anon.

Ring out. O cheei ful steamboat bell,
Heave, billows white and bine I
The giant fabric rides the swell—
No more the bark canoe.
White puffs the steamblast on the gale,
The hills resound again.
A s the huge courser of the rail
Whirls on the roaring train.
Foam, river! o’er your rocky ways.
Or wind in marshes still :
Therulingarm iso’eryou raised
And ye must work its will.
Swell, prairies! waving far and green
With broad, majestic roll;
The share aud scythe are strong and keen,
And claim their sure control.
O, solumn woods of oak and pine
Your doom is nigh at hand I
Huge trunk and spreading boughs resign
Before the blade aud brand.
Come, yeomen of the East! the land
Awaits your destined swav;
Before your steps the savage band
Likeclou s shall melt away.
Come, blue-eyed Norsemen, tall and fair I
Amid the forest’s gloom
Shout hands your rustic roofs shall rear,
Ain win abundant room.
Come, earnest sons of Elbe and Rhine!
Brown cheeks and sinews strong;
Here fence yot r fields and tend your kine.
And raise the social song
Come, son of Erin! brood no more
O’er sorrows past and gone;
Look to the good that lies before;
And labor bravely on.
The bigot's narrow, churlish creed,
Be held in idle scorn,
Aud welcome each who suffers need
As if a native-born.
So shall the fertile State be filled
With all the strong and free,
And mingled nations join to build
Its glorious destiny.
For what Purpose is this War!
We hnve never seen a clearer or more
beautiful answer to the above question
than is given by tho President in his late
message. The character and scope of our
system have never been mure admirably
stated nor given in language more easily
comprehended by the masses of the peo
ple than is done in this short paragraph.
Let it be printed in gold, and engraven
on the hearts of every lover of his coun
try.
“This is essentially a people’s contest
on the side of the Union. It is a strug
gle for maintaining in the world that
form and substance of Government, whose
leadmg object is to elevate the condition
of men, to lift aitificial weights from all
shoulders, to clear the paths of laudable
. pursuits, and to afford all an unfettered
I start and a fair chance in the race of life,
j yielding to partial and temporary depar
tures from necessity. This is the leading
object of ihat form of government for
whose existence we contend. lam most
■ happy to believe that the plain people
’ underhand an 1 appreciate this.”

REBELS ROUTED AGAIN 11
15 Killed, 18 Prisoners.
ADDITIONAL FROM GENERAL
LYON’S ARM Y.
Volunteers who cannot speak the Eng--
lish Language.
Quincy, August 7.
A band of rebels, numbering from
1,000 to 1,200 made an attack upon a
camp of Union men at Athens, Missou
ri, Monday morning last at 5 o’clock.—
There was a considerable amount of arms
and ammunition for U. S. troops stored
at this place, under a guard of troops,
composing their camp, U. S. volunteers
numbering about 350 under command
of Capt. Moore.
Fighting lasted about one hour, when
the lebels retreated. Meantime Captain
Moore having been reinforced by about
150 men from Centralia, lowa, on the
opposite side of the river, gave chase af
ter the rebels for a mile and a half, kill
ing one of their number, and taking 18
prisoners, capturing 31 horses, and two
secession flags. Several rebels were
wounded in the chase. After the battle
six or eight rebels found dead on the
field. In the afternoon the bearer of n
rebel flag of truoo to Union Camp, ad
mitted tbev carried of 14 killed, and,
there were as many more wounded and
missing. The rebels were led by Mar
tin Green, brother of Ex-Senator Jim
Green.
Of the Union men three were killed
and eight wounded.
Athens is situated in the extreme north
east of Missouri, on Desnmin s river, 25
or 30 miles west of Keokuk.
It is reported that the Union forces
have been further reinforced by 500 or
600 troops and took up their line of
march Monday night in pursuit of the
rebels, encamped eight miles from
Athens, and a fight has no doubt', taken
place at that place unless the rebels run.
Springfield, Mo., August 6.
Our advices from Gen. Lyon’s aimy
are to Sunday.
The cavalry charge heretofore report
ed was made by a scouting party sentout
to ascertain if the enemy were approach
ing. After our troops had encamped for
night nt Dug Sp-ing, seeing a regiment
of infantrv coming along the road, the
Lieut, ordered a charge which resulted
in killing 30 rebels and wounding eight.
The charge was not intended by Lyon,
and probably prevented the rebels from
attacking bis main body, which had they
done, they would unquestionably have
been routed with severe loss. A large
bod *of the enemy’s cavalry which had
taken a positiorfbn high ground to ob
serve our position was dispersed by a few
shells from Unpt. Totten’s battery,
wounding ten of them.
Saturday morning our forces moved
forward cautiously, and on approaching
Curran, rebels to the number of 3,000
were seen posted on the hill-sides in sight
of that place. Gen Lyon immediately
formed his army for battle and gave the
order to advance. As our column was
approaching a piece of timber, our bat
tery fired on tho rebels and they retreat
ed in haste. It is not known whether
any of the enemy were killed on Satur
day. We did not lose a man, and took
several prisoners.
Our army encamped for tho night nt
Curran. On Sunday morning Gen. Ly
on determined to retire to Springfield, as
most of the rebels are mounted, and they
might flank him and take Springfield.
Price. Raines and Parsons are said to
hnve 20 000 men under their command,
Ben McCulloch 4,000,the latter well arm
ed and equipped troops.
Philadelphia. Aug. 8.

Rifled Cannon.
The officers of tho Government are
busily engaged nt various in litary posts
at the North in converting old smooth
bore cannon into rifled ordnance. Six
heavy guns arrived from the Springfield
Armory on Monday morning by the
New-Haven boat, having been subjected
to the rifling process, and converted into
exceedingly formidable weapons. At
Governor’s Island there is the requisite
machinery for r'fling cannon, and the
woikmcn there engaged turn out an
average of about six a week.
