The action was a complication of disastrous
foolery, Utterly without excuse or example. The
men wonted to know of the Captains what to do;
the Captains wuuted their Colonels to tell them
what to do; aid the Colonels asked General
Pierce what had better he done, and he said,
“Well, iudeed I don’t know.” There were the
rueu, prepared, ready, eager, competent to take
the battery. But 4he officers did not know how
to direct the man, If thgre had been no officers
in the field the buttery would have been liken.—
The no n would have done it in five minutes, if
they had just bs*en turned ioose. But they pro*

That we are on the eve of some great event,

plainly indicate. Extraordinary vigilance en- !
joined upon our sentinela, an unnsufly rigid en- i
forcetr.ent of military discipline, and tiie constant
state of readiness in which we are required to
hold ourselves, .are regarded as to
the hour when the souls of men are tried, when
t the feeling of the heart struggles with the weak

I into the scale against might, and tße issue left to
I the God of Battles.
. I have heard of a singular circumstance in con

in which a prophecy was literally fulfilled. A
gentleman who is in our Army, while on a visit
■ iaat winter to bis brother-in-law, in Ohio, urged
him to leave that hot-bed of Abolitionism and
come to Virginia. The latter replied that he would
come, but it would be with gun in band, to o™*°
i the rebels. “If ypncopie on such an errand, 1
predict you will run away,” replied the indignant
Svjt ieraer. The prediction seems to have been
spdedilv accomplished, for a blanket with the mil
name of the invader was found near the railroad
i track, where the enemy fled to the woods.

The Baltimore Sun of tbe 20th instant has the
following :
Tbe steamer Adelaide, Captain Cannon arrived
yesterday morning from Old Point Comfort. She
brought up a number of passengers, among whom
lire Col. Bartlett, of the naval brigade, which is
■ disbanded, Mr. Hildreth, brotber-in-law of Gen
’ Butler, and wife.
There was on Tuesday morning a trial of tbe
large rifle cannon recently placed on tbe Rip
Baps. Lleven shells were thrown towards Sew
ell's Point, three or four of which exploded on
! the beach, three passed across the point into the
channel, and tbe remainder fell short of the point.
Sewell’s Point is not visible from tbe Kip Raps,
and the distauce is forty-eight hundred yards.
Gen. Butler went to Newport News Point in a
i steam tug to witness the trial, and from that point
regulated the prdper elevation of the piece by sig
ua s. The Confederates are said to have a bat
: tery on Willoughby’s Point, which is only twenty
) five hundred yards from the Rip Raps, and can
\ easily rake that defeuce with Colutnhiads aud
i liahlgreu guns, which it is supposed will be done
j as soon as an earnest attack is made on Sewell's
i Point. The elevation of the large gun on the Rip
I Raps is very great, and easily distinguished from
! Willoughby’s Point.
| The body of Maj. Winthrop was brought to
j portress Monroe on Tuesday morning, and in the
I afternoon the funeral took place. Gen. Butler
i aud staff were present, besides the officers and
regulars at tbe P'ortress.
The parties who carried the flag of truce to
Great Bethel reported that Col. Magruder had
buried thirty bodies beforethey reached the ground
Col. M. had but eight hundred troops in the bat
tle of the loth lest., hut now has a force of eight
thousand, which will be hard to dislodge, from
the tact that un each side of the road Fs a soft
| marsh, over which his battery cannot be flanked.
Tin re was no talk of any early movements by
Gen. Butler toward Yorktowu, aud all the roads
leading to the interior are supposed by the Feder
al officers to bu fortified by masked batteries.
Iwo of the wouuded at Great Bethel died ou
Tuesday, aud a soldier of the Second Troy Regi
, ment was killed ou Muuday while on guard duty.

The Battle nt Boonvtllo— From un lijrc
Witness.
An eye witness of the fight at Boonville, on
Monday last, at 8 A. M., about six miles below
that town, gives us llie subjoined facts :
Major-General Price was ill on Sunday, and
issued an order for the retirement of the State
troops towards Arkansas. He, himself, left for
his home, at Brunswick. The torces under Gen.
Lyon landed near Rocheport, on the South side
oftbe Missouri river, aud marched thence toward
HdkniviUe. A few companies of State troops met
them about six miles oelow Boonville, and at
tacked Lyon's forces, Company B, Blair's Regi
nieut being the party receiving the tire. About
teu of said company were killed and wounded, as
the result of that lire. The company firing then
retreated. Several other State companies, at this
point of time, kept tiring from different directions
on Lyon's forces. Gen. Lyon then planted his
cannon, and fired about twenty rounds on the
State troops, using grape and ball. None of the
State troops were killed by this cannonading, so
far as is known. But those who were seeking
the State troops, to join in the fight, were made
prisoners to the number of fifteen or twenty, and
three are known to be killed. These prisoners
were taken, aud the men killed after a retreat was
ordered by the officers commanding tbe State
troops.
The State troops retired in good order, not more
than three buudred having engaged in the skir
mish. Some ten of the Federal troops were kill
ed, aud as mauy as from twenty to thirty wound
ed, some mortally.
Col. Marmaduke commanded the State troops ;
and Governor Jackson was in person on the
ground. No cannon were captured by the Feier
al troops, all having been placed in position on the
river, four miles south of Boonville. ,
J General Parsons, with some fifteen pieces of
ordnance, was advancing to meet the State troops
at the time they were retreating. All these were
saved. No word of disbanding the Slute troops
was ever heard of; ror of the flight of Governor
Jackson, who, on ibe coutrarv, coolly remained
two hours alter the retreat of the Stale troops.
Gov. Jackson is now with his men ; the order
to retreat was given on Sunday, purely as a strate
gic movement; while some of the boys deter
mined 10 have the fun of making the invaders
smell burning gunpowder anyhow ; aud the at
tack was made with the distinct purpose of re
-1 treating immediately afterward. It was currently
: reported at Boonville that Gen. Lyon remarked,
; if the tire of the State troops had been continued,
he mu- ’ have ordered a retreat. The Federal
forces .tood their ground and returned the fire;
’ but tbe Stale troops were covered by a woodland,
1 and fired from diflereut directions on Lyon’s
; forces. Lyon uow has possession ot BooneviUe,
and has issued a proclamation. The State troops
, are concentrating at a point fifteen or tweuty
miles west or BooneviUe, and are orgsuuing aud
preparing fully tor tbe conflict.
Beu. McCaliocb, it is staled, is now advancing
hetwen Springfield and Tipton with ln.iXlo men
and 20,0f0 extra stand of arms.
Fum.vle Pluck.— Ur. Blauchard was lately ar
rested in Southern Illinois. A letter relates the
following about bis wife, wbo is a Kentuckian t
“ When Blanchard went through Carbondale,
! on bis way to Springfield, be was visited on tbe
cars by bis wife, a sister of John Logan, wbo was
! perfectly reckless She cheered for Jeff. Davis,
aud abused the L uiou men in every conceivable :
manner ; but in consideration of her sex she Was
uot disturbed, but allowed to have ber blow out
all to herself. When she entered her buggv to
drive she struck ber horse into a run, and
at every jump she would hit him again and j
shout at the top of ber voice. ‘Hurrah for Jeff.

Speaking of tne affairs at Harper's Ferry, a
New York Herald correspondent says
From cituena of the v.ilage, who speak from
i their personal knowledge, I derive a confirmation
. of tbe following facts . First, that tfie Recounts
that were published of the strength of the rebels
ana the position of their batteries were subsian
tiailv correct, and that the number of troops was
ratner underestimated tban otherwise. Second,
; that Gen. Johnston's retreat was conducted with
■ out haste or precipitation, and that he carried off
ail his artillery and military stores. Th,ird, that
, in the destruction of the works he scrupulously
respected and caused to be protected all private
property, without distinction of owtcif. Fourth,
that tbe evacuation forms part of a plan agreed
upon by Gen. Beauregard “and himself, relating
directly to manoeuvres at Washington.
During F idav morning, while the fire was
’ raging fiercely, the two fire engines of the village
were brought out, were maumsf by soldiers from
tee Tennessee regiment, and were kept in con
-tarn operation. To this humane and thoughtful
policy on the part ot Gen. Johnston many families
1 now owe it that they are sleeping securely under
; their own roofs, instead of gating sadly over the
1 charred and blackened beams of their once happy
homes, if this act of clemency ia imitated in the
further progress of the war, the contest will be
robbed of one of its terrors
Gov. CraaiNG KerrcxivK to Gkokg;a.— The
Sa t Lake correspondence of the X. Y .. Times,
writing t-ltb May. says :

way. departed from this city His Excellency Gov.
Ciunmiog and lady, for their Georgian home on
j The Savannah, he having obtained leave of ab
| sence for some seven months, though it is gene
; rally believed that be was never again cast his
’ eyes upon the Salt Lake country. There was no
formal adieu, no ostentatious farewell, no com
piiaieutarv dinner or supper, no eulogistic
speeebification connected with h>s departure. In
deed, though everybodv understood he was

Other circumstances and occurrences that have
I lately transpired, convince us that a traitorous

The retreat from and r ,e Reotcupatlou
of Harper’s perry.
We are now at liberty, Gn the beat authority, to
make public the true tootives actuating Genera!
Johnston in what the ‘Northern and aome of the
Southern papera have called the “ Evacuation of
Harper'a Ferrv.” The General, like other mili
tary men of education, had long known that Har
i per’s Ferrv in itself is faulty and untenable, from
, the facility with which it can be turned. It lies
i as it were in the small end of a “funnel, the
! broader end of which could, with great ease, be
oempied bv tbe enemy. The heads directing the
operations of the Yankee forces were well aware
of this fact, bat forgot that there were fully as
astute heada on our side. The minute and able
investigations of Major Whiting, Chief Engineer
’ to Genera! Johnson had satisfied our leaders of
the justness of these views. It was well known
that Gen Scott’s plan was to tarn Harper’s Ferry
hv a
I bu?g with another column of McClelland's army
oassing through Romney , and cut off Beauregard s
and Johnston s armies from ejeh other. This
p?an was completely foiled, and the enemy check-

mated at their ojtl gj • v ,
“on Thursday,’the 16th mat., General
Johnston having waited at Harper s Ferry long
enough to make the enemy believe that he in
tended to contest that position to the last and
learning that thev were advancing on W lUiams
port and Romnev, sent a portion of his force to
Winchester bv rail. On Friday he continued this
movement, sent back his tent equipage and other
beavv baggage, bis sick, Ac., set fire to and burn
ed the railroad bridge, and such of the public
buildings as could be burned without endangering
private property, spiked auch of tbe heavy guns
at Harper’s Ferry as could not be removed, and
on Saturday moved with his whole army, march
ing on foot, in the direction of Winchester, en
camping about i)4 miles southwest of Charles
town. The enemy, taking this movement as it
was intended they should take it, as a retreat,
crossed a brigade of their advance division, com
manded bv Gen. Cadwallader, (who joined their
forces on Saturday or Sunday morning,) which
was moved forward towards Martinsburg.
was moveu lurwaiu ,
On Sunday morning, however, GeneralJonn
ston changed his line of march, at right angles,
and moved square towards Martinsburg, encamp
ing at Bunker Hill, on tbe Winchester and Mar
tinsburg turnpike, twelve miles from Martinsburg,
to offer battle there, or advance and attack, if
necessary. This movement placed the enemy in
a “predicament.” He had not crossed his whole
force, and if the opposing forces had closed he
must have been beaten in detail. He therefore
“acknowledged the corn,” turned tail and re
treated, recrossed the river and evacuated the
Valley, retiring beyond Hagerstown. A Lieu
tenant-Colonel and another, <members of the Bth
Pennsylvania Volunteers) were taken prisoners
during this retreat.
A day or two after this, Cos!. Hill, ISth Virginia
Regiment, in command of a part of the forces who
had “retreated” from Harper’s Ferry, and who
hud been pushed forward towards Romney, as
our readers have learned from Baturday’s editiou,
sent forward towards New Creek, on the l’otomac
river, eighteen miles west of Cumberland, four
companies of Tennesseean who found the Yankees
posted on the Maryland sideofthe Potomac. Our
brave fellows, in tiie face of the enemy, forded the
stream, waist deep, drove them off'in the utmost
confusion, captured two pieces of loaded artillery
and a stand of colors, destroyed the railroad bridge
at that point, aud returned to Romney, making, a
march of thirty six miles and gained a brilliaut
victory, within twenty hours.
Our leaders will thus see what Gen. Johnston’s
“retreat from Harper’s Ferry” lias done. It has
thoroughly broken up General Scott’s paper pro
gramme, destroyed his whole western combina
tion, aud compelled him to remodel his whole
plan. If our “retreats” do thus much, we wait
confidence to see what our advances will do. In
the meantime, we beg leave to recall to our read
ers’ recollection the old motto of this paper, “Nous
Verrons.”
CxrT. Ball, or the Fairfax Cavalry. —The
following statement is made in behalf of this un
fortuuate officer. We give it without comment:
Capt. M. D. Ball, of the Fairfax Cavalry, has
returned te Washington aud recanted his oath,
voluntarily consigning himself to prison again.
He took tiie oath because it was the only condi
tion of release allowed him, aud it was absolutely
necessary for him to visit his home. His family,
consisting of his wife and orphan brothers aud
sisters, is large and helpless, having with them
no male relative capuble of attending to their
wants. He had expected to pass them when he
should leave Alexandria, which his capture pre
vented.
For nearly two weeks he had heard nothing of
them but rumors that they had fled from home
and the federal troops had possession. He could
not obtaiu an audience before Generals Scott or
Mausfield, Dor any condition but the one which
he accepted, per Force, in order to see his family
aud provide for their safety. That doue, he re
turns to meet whatever fate may be iu store for
him.
His meu, who confide entirely in him, took the
oath relying on his example. He desires what
ever blame may attach to them in a military re
spect to be ascribed to him. Some of them re
turn with him ; the others, whose presence at
their homes is necessary, will remain, keeping
their oath as a parole, aud waiting exchange,
which can doubtless be effected tor them by ne
gotiation.
Col. Terrott and all the officers associated with
Capt. Ball iu Alexandria, fully exculpate him
from blame iu his surrender. He raised his com
pany, contributed largely to its equipment and
armament, had gotten men and burkes in excel
lent drill, and feels most deeply his misfortune,
due us it is, to want of faith in the federal officers ;
but he is very hopeiul of a better day coming.
Views of Mounter Crittenden on tiie
War.
The Hon. John J. Crittenden made a speech
at Lexington, Ky., last week, thus defining his
position as a candidate for Congress :
Tbe first great object which he ardently desired
was, that this war should he put an end to ; that
the longer it continued, and the more devastating
it became, the more difficult would be its solution;
und to the end of pacification acd the restoration
of the kindly feelings which once prevailed among
the happy and prosperous people of a common
government would bis whole energies be devoted,
if it should be the pleasure of the people to con
fer on him the responsible trust of representating
them. To a war of subjugation he was opposed ;
und while he wus satisfied that tbe government
did nothing more than its duty iu the preparation
it had made to defend tbe National Capital, yet fie
would be prepared at any moment to lend a help
ing hand to arrest the further progress of this un
natural conflict. Mr. Lincoln, he declared, W'us
not, the President ot his selection, and he was
neither responsible for jor prepared to sutain the
policy of that functionary. Lincoln, however,
was not the government, although charged, for
the time, with its administrative functions ; and,
while he repudiated all allegiance to him or his
creed, he was, as he had always professed to be,
loyal to the Constitution of £>is country, under
which tbe nation had been so prosperous, the
people so free and happy, and the blessings of
which are priceless and innumerable.
Mr. Crittenden declared that, iu his judgment,
every means should be lesorted to to restore the
blessings of peaee, to preserve the Union, and to
Uand down, unimpaired, the noble institutions
which have come down to us hallowed by the
sanction of our revolutionary fathers. To that
end he declared first that the Southern States
should? present to Congress, when it meets, a fair
statement of the grievances under which they
labor; that, when presented, the Congress of the
United States should promptly grant a full mea
sure of redress for those grievances ; and that, if
Congress should not do so, he would not vote one
dollar to the prosecution of the var. In the uext
place, if the South should fail Jto present their
grievances with a view to adjustment, then that
the North should promptly concede such assuran
ces of redress aud security as were just to the
South ; aud that besides these, all other possible
means should be einploi eii that would have the
effect of maintaining the Union, preserving the
Government, and putting a period to the unnatu
ral war iu which the country is involved. In the
event that all the means employed for this pa
triotic aud noble purpose should fail, and the war
should still rage on, tbeu he was o r opinion that
Kentucky, poising herself upon her proud posi
tion of neutrality, should summon all her judg
ment and reason, aDd, discarding all passion and
prejudice, should decide for herself what position
she should assume. He declared that sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof; and that white
he was not now, under the continually shifting
scenes of tbe political drama, prepared to say
what position Kentucky should occupy in the
coutingeDcy mentioned, be would be prepared, as
a native and loyal son of Kentucky, to follow her
destiny, be it what it might.
Tbe Cbew or the Privateer Savannah.—The
United Btates steam frigate Minnesota, Com.

dated 12th inst., which says:
The privateers from the Savannah have been

however, escaped.
F'okt Fjcskxs.—Tbe correspondent of the New

May 27, off Fort Fickens, Bays :
I cannot understand why tbe Government have
allowed these batteries to be erected; for Dearly

aud any of them can reach the fort and do much
damage. Tbe enemy is reported to Col. Brown,

crrived there this morning. If the South Caroli
nians had beeu there at the time every man of
them would have been taken. None of our men

A gentleman from Alexandria has just arrived

The Washington correspondent, of the 17th, of
the X. T. Tribune, speaking of propositions for
compromise says :
“Congress may do what they will,
mightier power, which is behind Congress, and all
other constituted authority, will submit to noth
ing which looks to a restoration of peace without
the guarantees of submission for the future and
indemnity for the past. The same men who have
touched ballots for a quarter of a century can
handle a cartridge with the same dexterity of
finger. Thev will as easily and readily orgauize
a military despotism, if the exigencies ot the hour
demand it, as they can reconstruct on the foun
dation of tranquil arbitration. We have opened
our eves to the necessity of a stronger central
power, when States are in insurrection and cities
!n banded rebellion. Wesuspend the habeas corpus
in public danger, aod we may not only restore
but keep the subordination of popular elements,
bv the sharp discipline of the sword.”
‘That’s the music to which all Yankeedom will
have to dance. “The sharp discipline of the
sword 1” The universal suffragans have arms in
their hands; they are the masters—they will dic
tate the future government of the country.—
“They will as easily aud readily organize a des
potism” as vote. This is the threat'of the lead
ing paper of the dominant party, directed both to
the Congress and to the rich men of the North.
Anew power has arisen in the land, and they
who have raised it will be its first victims.
When we see such publications we are not sur
prised to hear that gloom and alarm pervade the
Northern people. They see that unless the ma
rauders whom they have armed can make their
way Sontb, they will return to plunder and op
press them. The little progress that has been
made towards conquest and the saving dread
which the invaders have of “masked batteries,”
give but little hope ot subjugation. The only
refuge of the Northern people from their armed
oppressors will be fouud in tiie generosity of the
South. We shall be compelled to go to their re
litf, and enable them once more to revive the
writ of habeas corpus, and re-establish constitu
tional liberty. —Richmond Whig.
From Washington.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun makes the subjoined statements in his
letter of Jane 20. It is evident that the writer is
not fully posted in regard to every matter for
which he vouchsafes to speak.
Mauy people have doubted whether we are ac
tually in war or not. Whether war exists is an
important question. Congress, at the late ses
sion, was shy of every proposed action thin looked
towards war, or that provided means or gave
powers to carry it on. But the question is at
length judicially decided. The decision of the
United States District Court for the District of
Columbia, in the case of the schoener “Tropic
Wind” and cargo, is that war does exist. Re
ferring to the President’s proclamation, Judge
Dunlop remarks that these facts so set forth, with
the assertion of the right of blockade, “ amount
to a declaration that civil war exists.” It belongs,
says the decree, to the Executive to decide whether
insurrection has grown to such a head as to con
stitute civil war. Blockade is a belligerent right,
and tbe President has a right to resort to it. This
is the first judicial decision we have had upon the
valid'ty of the blockade, and also upon the consti
tutionality of the various Executive acts in re
gard to the insurrection.
This, or some other case involving the same
questions, will, do doubt, be carried to the United
States Supreme Court. There cannot be much
doubt that this Court will affirm the decision of
the District Court, as it is in conformity with
&rior decisions of that body, as cited by Judge
uuiop.
The civil wav anpears to be taking tbe form of
a tierce and cruel guerilla war ou the borders.
That any*great and decisive actions are soon to
be fought is wholly improbable, and the skir
mishes on the borders are useless for Jjauv pur
pose except to inflame tbe passions ofthe belliger
ents.
There is a rumor that the Critteuden plan of
pacification, or some other plan of u like kind,
will be offered iu Cougress at the coming session,
accompanied by an imposiug declaration that its
acceptance will be the condition of the oontiuued
loyalty of Kentucky. The recent speech of Mr.
Crittenden would seem to afford some countenance
to the rumor,
The bloekade pinches North as well as South.
But as vvu have entered upon the usually dull
commercial season, it cannot now produce its
full results. Next November it will begin to pro
duce an outcry in the South and elsewhere. But
the war will Dot. be arrested uutil Northern senti
ment shall require it. The people of the North
have undertaken to run this war machine them
selves.
All eyes are directed to the other side of the
river. But the better opinion is that nothing of
a veiy important nature is likely to occur there.
The troops are, meanwhile, in a good school of
practice.
Another Plan or the Cahpaign.—The North
ern newspaper writers are tremendous on plans
for tbe invasion ol the South. The following is
given by the Baltimore correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer :
I hare learned from a semi-official source some
details of a pluu for au aitack ou Richmond from
the West. While at Cincinnati a few days ago,
Gen. McClellan held a conference with several
eminent Western army officers, at which he pre
sented the following plan, which was enthusiasti
cally approved of ami agreed to by all present,
namely: to orgauize, out of the troops now ready
for the field in Ohio, Indiana, aud the North
westers States, two columns of 20,000 each, oifc to
rendezvous at Ashland, Ky., and the other at
Gullipolis, Ohio, both on the Ohio river, and both
accessible by railroads.
To march the first column across the western
counties of Virginia to the nearest point on the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad, probably at
Abingdon, and to march the second column along
the valley of the Kanawha river, either to Coving
ton or Newborn. The marching distauce for either
column would not be over one hundred or one
hundred und fifty miles, aud could easily be ac
complished iu a week’s time. There are excel
lent wugou roads ou the proposed routes, which
at this season were in good order. It is the opin
ion of Gen. McClellan that this demonstration
can be made, and the forty thousand troops
brought in this way before Richmond by the Ist
of July, iu time to co-operate with the forces of
Gen. Patterson from the North and Gen. Butler
from the East. The plan has been submitted to
Gen. Scott, aud if he approves of it, it will be cur
ried into execution.
The Washington correspondent of the same
paper gives an idea of what old Fuss and Feathers
thinks of these busy writerß :
Gen. Scott was heard to say yesterday that he
would have captured the rebels at Harper's Fer
ry, and all their munitions of war, had it not
been for the newspaper press (in their anxiety to
give early news) keeping the rebels fully posted
up in every movement oi the United States troops.
He said “he would rather have one hun
dred rebel spies in his camp than one newspaper
reporter.”
Discovery of Another Conspiracy.—The New
York Herald has the following story:
Under the auspices of bankers in Lombard street
a combination of bankers aud capitalists has been
formed in New York for the express purpose of
aiding and abetting the Southern rebellion bv
withholding from the Administration the means
of carrying on the war. We distinctly charge that
moneyed gentlemen whose names are in our pos
session, which we shall disclose whenever the in
terests of the public demand it, have arrived at
an understanding with each other to subscribe to
no more loans, and endeavor to injure the nation
al credit, for their own selfish purposes, to the ex
tent of their power. They are principally Mu the,
cotton and foreign exchange interest, sS<l are of
English, French and German, as well as of Amer-
can origin.
Thay atVect horror at tbe enormous expenditure
which will be involved in the suppression of re
bellion, and declare that the banks of this city,
over most of which they may exercise paramount
control, shall not yield another dollar, if further
loans are put into the market. They are princi
pally sustained aud urged on, in the course they
have resolved oh, by London and Manchester
bouses, who desire that the independence of the
Confederate States should be acknowledged as
speedily asposible, in order that the English mar
ket may be supplied with cotton, without the
risk that would attend the violation Os the block
ade, and a consequent war with this country.—
We believe that the alliance thus formed is so
powerful that Mr. Chase would find it impossible
to combat with it, aud that he will find he is lean
ing upon a broken reed, if he places any future de
pendence upon Wall street.
The IkraLdr exchequer is running low, and it is
trying uow a little game of Block mail, for which
it has always been famous, Ed. C. & S.
Tennessee. —The following preamble aud reso
lution were adopted by both houses of the Ten
nessee Legislature, list week:
Whereas the people of Tennessee by a large
majority have dissolved all further political rela
tions with the Government of the United States,
and trusting, as we do, to the patriotism and
loyalty of those who cast their votes against such
separation, that they will submit to the decision
and abide the fortunes of their State ; There
fore-
Resolved by the General Assembly of the State
of Tennessee, That we, the members ot the Gen
eral Assembly, do earnestly appeal to the good
citizens of the State to unite as one man against
a common enemy; that we shall continue to trust
to their love of country, and of their nomes, rather
than to stringent measures of legislation, and,
therefore, that, in our judgment, neither new
enactments for the punishment of treason nor the
passage ot lest oaths to insure a pledge of loyalty
’ from the citizens, are the remedies to be at pres
j ent applied, but rather a continued reliance npon
j the patriotism and intelligence of the masses of
the people of Tennessee.
| Another Rcuor. —The Lynchburg Republican
j of yesterday contains the following, which has
I not been confirmed, so far as we are informed, by
1 any report received in Richmond direct from
| Manassas :
! At headquarters, at Manassas Junction, intelli
gence has been received to tbe effect that a battle
was fought at Romney, resulting in the defeat of
the Lincolnites and the takiDg of several prison
ers, amongst whom were a Colonel and two of his
staff. The report has not been confirmed, but it
ia generally credited.
Interesting from Norfolk.—A despatch to the
Savannah Republican, dated Norfolk, June 26tb,
says:
Tbe enemy threw fifteen shell from the Rip
Saps to our battery on Sewell’s Point last evening.
Only two of them exploded near our works, from !
which no damage was sustained.
It is believed here that anew gun has been
mounted in place of the ‘‘Union, as the dis
charges were distinctly heard in this city.
_The Plymouth, which was raised at the Navy
1 ard a few days ago, is not at all injured. Her
guns will be mounted and evervthing put in readi
ness for operations in tbe course of the present
week.
The Germantown will also be raised before long
Irish Emulation to America.— Tbe Rev. Dr.
Cahill, in view of the civil war now progressing
| in this country, urges his couatrvmen and women |
j not to come here until our political troubles are j
finally composed. In a letter to the Dublin Catholic ;
j Telegraph, dated States Island, May, 10, he says: I
1 ‘‘Although I cannot hope yon will now take my ’
j advice, which I have so often given in vaiD, still I
’ shall repeat what I have already begged for your
1 own sake—namely to remain at home under aDV
’ difficulty til! the present war in America shall
have been settled one way or the other. There is
| no commerce, no business, no trade ; servants are
i reduced, and.are going about idle and penniless. ‘
! There are other matters anticipated in this un- I
happy crisis, which I forbear publishing ; but will
I yon understand me. and Bend no more voung Irish
j girls here till oar disputes are finalh : adjusted?
! Both sides are movitg tens of thousands of armed
men to the probable field of strife, but I hope
; there will be no fight, when the word of final bat
! tie is about to be given. The good Bense, the pa-
I triotism, the self-interest of both sides will, it is
| hoped, prevail over heated couneels, and that na
; tional peace, more firm than ever, will follow this
] political ferment,”
Th* A iey Latest. —A gentleman who reached
here on Monday, direct from Jamestown, savs it
has been positively ascertained up to vesterdav
morning, by persons residing in the vicinity, tha't
the Y'ankee loss by the engagement of last Mon
day is over 500 killed. But few of the 564 missing

Washington, June 25.-To-morrow there will
be an extraordinary meeting ofthe Cabinet, when
Gen. Scott and his staff, the various Generals and
Colonels of regiments now in and about Washing
ton, will be present. It i 3 understood that Major
Generals Butler, Banks and Dix have all been
summoned. Scott will submit his programme for
prosecuting tbe war. That the rebels have chang
ed theirs can not be doubted. Hence it is believ
ed that Gen. Scott has some new project to sub
mit at that great council of war.
Our Government has demanded of the Prus
sian Minister that the exequatur of Trappenan,
Prussian Consul at Charleston, who recently left
Boston with dispatches from Jeff. Davis to bis
Commissioners in Europe, shall be withdrawn.
This demand will be complied wiiU by that Gov
ernment.
It is said that all the dispatches to and from the
South that go to Europe are sent through the
foreign legations. This matter will be undoubted
ly inquired into.
Andrew Johnson and Emerson Etheridge have
been assured by the War Office that the Uniou
men of East Tennessee and whoever else may
need assistance, shall be sustained bv the strong
arm of the Government, and an orcier has been
issued including Tennessee m the District uuder
esmmand of Gen. Anderson.
A naval expeditiou of much magnitude will soon
be fitted out to operate on tbe coast of Texas con
sisting of war vessels and transports carrying mu
nitions of war and men. The expedition will be
large enough to take the field and form a nucleus
around which the Union men under Houston can
rally.
Senator Sherman arrived here today from Gen.
Patterson’s headquarters, accompanied by his
brother, Col. Sherman.
Dudlev'Mann, of the rebel commisioners, in a
letter to* a banker here, states that England will
recognize the Southern Confederacy by the first
of January. Mann predicted over two months ago
the recognition of the Southern Confederacy by
both England and France before the fourth of Ju
ly. He Las now postponed it till the first of Jan
uary next.
Washington, June ‘22.— The report now receiv
ed says that there are onlyjs,ooo troops at Fairfax
Church.
There is some anxiety respecting the movements
of the Confederate troops. There is nothing
known, only conjectured. It is thought that a
portion of Stone’s troopt have arrived at the Point
of Rocks.
Senator Johnson made a strong Union speech.
He was called upon by a concourse of people.
Washington, June 23.—The Secretary ot State
dined with the Foreign Embassadors yesterday.
There are active movements among the milita
ry. Over 13,000 troops have reached here during
the past week.
Special to the N. J r . Tribune.
Senator Johnson estimates the Union majority
in Eastern Tennessee at nearly 25,000 and for
secession in Western and Middle T* uuessee uuder
50,000. He believes that with a fair canvass and
more time, the State could have been carried for
the Union. He says arms are wanted in both
Tennessee and Kentucky for the Unionists.
A traveler from Richmond yesterday reports
40,000 troops moving thence to Mauuassas. But
few were at the latter place. A large force had
moved to Fairfax Court House. It is said there
are now 10,000 there.
The Times’ Paris corresponded says H. H.
Spencer, American Consul to Paris, has been
ordered to quit, it having been proven that he
entertained sympathy for the rebels.
Reports of the movements of rebels towards our
lines is confirmed. It is thought the rebel com
mander has been obliged to do this in conse
quence of murmurs of dissatisfaction among his
men.
Fortress Monroe, June 23. —Private Parker, of
a Vermont regiment, taken prisoner by the rebels
after the Great Bethel affair, aud who has just
been exchanged, gives the following news: He
says Lieut. Clark, of the Third New York Regi
ment, deserted the night before the affair at Great
Bethel.
He obtained a citizen’s dress from a secession
ist, aud gave tle rebels full information of our
movements. He is now at Richmond. Parker,
on the eveuing of the tight, wus marched to York
town, and from that point to Richmond. He wus
carefully guarded, but in every respect was treat
ed well, lie reports the rebel forces at York
town as very large. Every steamer brought
down additional troops. Provisions were scarce,
and the Confederate troops were badly fed and
clothed.
New York, June 24. —The World’s despatch

it to be the intention of Beauregard to advance
on the Federal lines. Yesterday was the day
fixed on for a movement on Washington. The
Government is satisfied of tnis, and has ascertain
ed that an extensive spy system is in operation
for the benefit of the rebels. Government letters
have been sent daily from Washington South by
persons who are here to watch the operations of
the Government.
The Tribune’s dispatch says that Baltimore,
though quiet on the surface, is profoundly agi
tated uuderneath, aud is ouly held in check by
fear. At any indication of an outbreak Major
General Banks will, without doubt, shell the city
from Fort McHenry. He is the man to obey or
ders to the very letter.
The reinforcements for which Col. Stone has
sent are only of ordnance, without which he hesi
tates to cross the river and attack the enemy’s
batteries that daily menace him. The original de

Commodore Vanderbilt has offered the Govern

St. Louis, June 23.—The steamer J. C. Swon
arrived at the Arsenal from Booneville at 2P. M.,
bringing three hundred troops from Jefferson
City, and the wounded from Booneville, nine in
nnmber. One died on the way down.
Cos!. Blair arrived on the Swon, and will pro
ceed to Washington to-morrow, via Cincinnati.
He states that the Btate troops killed at Boone
ville were not less than forty in number, and
thinks it was much greater. About 5,000 United
States troops are concentrated at Booneville, em
bracing the lowa troops under Col. Bates, the
Kansas forces under Col. Spence, and Geu. Lyon’s
command of United States regulars and Missouri
volunteers.
From the Southwestern part of the State we
learn that Col. Sigel’s regiment was within three
days march of Springfield, and Col. Solomon one
day behind. Col. Brown’s regiment left liolla this
morning for the same destination, and Colonel
McNeil’s regiment left this morning for Rolln.
At the latest heard from Gov. Jackson, he was
joined at Warsaw by the State troops that attacked
Capt Cook’s compony at Cole Camp, and pusned
rapidly on southward.
St. Louis, June 24. —The Democrat learns from
citizens of Lexington, arrived here, that the news
of the defeat of tbe .State forces at Boonville. had
good effect upon the secessionists of Lafayette
and adjoiuiug counties. They also state that
moderate secessionists at Lexington are anxious
to testify their allegiance to the Federal Govern
ment, aud secure peace and order in the State.
The mayor of Lexington, a violent secessionist,
has left the city, and his successor, a good Union
man, proclaims his determination to preserve law
and order, and protect the rights of all classes of
citizens, in which he is sustained by the almost
unanimous voice of the people.
It is not thought that Gen. Lyon will proceed
further up the river, but go South-west, where,
in conjunction with Col. Sigel’s command at
Springfield, he will invite a battle with Ben Mc-
Culloch or any one else in command of Arkansas
.troops.
Grafton, Va., June 25.—Maj. Gen. McClellan

From Pensacola.
Pensacola, June 2S.—The heat yesterday and
to-day has beeu intolerable. In cool places at 2
in the afternoon, the thermometer marked 96.
The weatherwise say it can’t last long—indeed, at
this hoar, 6P. M., it looks like rain. Vegetation
is about destroyed in this immediate locality.
Yesterday at one o’cTock, a large steamer, sup
posed to be a man-of-war, came up from the east
ward. She tired seven guns, which were answer
ed by signals from tbe Niagara. Twenty minutes
later she was alongside that vessel, and af er com
municating with her retired in the same direction
she came.
About 11 o’clock this morning a steam frigate
made her appearance, also from the eastward.
She is a stranger in these waters—which is deter
mined from her rigging. She fired eleven guns,
which we heard and saw distinctly. After re
porting to the Niagara, by telegraph, she dropped
anchor, and for an hour through her scape-pipe
rose the heated fluid. Such things are provoking,
but (or the present we must bear with the insult.
The Continentals were practising with their
pieces yesterday, at a target one and a half miles
from the shore. A large number of ladies and
gentlemen were present. For the first time, their
rifled pieces were discharged, with the most deci
ded success. One of the balls ricocheted, and,
many thiuk, buried itself in the opposite shore, a
distance of near four miles. Among the army
officers present, were Captains Randal, Lanier,
Crump, Girardey, Lieut. Howard and many others
whose names I cannot now recall. Gen. McCoy,
Mobile's white-haired soldier, was also there, ana
delighted in the extreme.
Tbe Artillery were in high feather, and the
officers took 00 mightily about their pieces—no
bride was ever loved sowed by soldier lord. Capt. 1
Homer directed the first shot, barely missing the j
target; then arose a shout, such only as the state !
Artillery could get up. The howitzer shots were .
equally successtul, and met with deafening ap
plause. Who wouldn’t be a soldier—a cannon !
soldier—in war times. Should these guns be j
turned e’er on tbeir country friends, it will be
when there isn’t a Continental to defend them.
P. S—l learn from the Navy Yard, the steamer
that arrived this morniDg brings a new comman

Irish,) French, German, Swiss, Italian, Danes,
Swedes and Norwegians. The Post says:
There are no less than fifteen elders with this j

The Cotton Loan.
Me. Editor : Mr. Stephens, or probably I should
say, Vice-President Stephens, tilled his appoint
ment here on Monday last, the 24th inst., and gave
us a good speech upon the Cotton Loan. I do
not recollect to have ever heard him more suc
cinct and condensed in his ideas. His speech was
a matter of fact exposition of our position and
needs—as well to present wants as to future
probable wants. Upon two points, however, I
think he might have gone farther, and with good
effect. One was, that in the subscription ot cot
ton to our Government, we supplied the sinews
of war—here he stopped. I think he should have
gone farther, and told the people, that whiie they
were thus supplying the needs of our Government,
they placed in the hands of the Government a
large moiety of our cotton, and by this means
would enable us to get remunerating prices, by dic
tating to the buyer the price he should pay, rather
than let the buyer, as it is notoriously known has
always been the case, dictate his own price.
Place two millions of bales of cotton in the
hands of our Government, and let the Govern
ment price the article as they should do, and does
not every man see that while we thus control the
supply we shall dictate the price in defiance of
spinners, speculators and governments? Why
should we, who produce the clothing of the world,
let the world, who are obliged to have the cloth
iug, dictate their own price? Southern indepen
dence requires statesmanship, management and a
knowledge of demand and supply, as well as food
and soldiers to tight our battles! The other point
upon which I think Mr. Stephens may have made
at least a supposition of probability is this, that
our Government, while not making the Cotton
Loan Bonds negotiable <*r currency, designed is
suing “Treasury Notes,” which would be curren
cy, and very probably would authorize the re
demption of the Cotton Bonds with those notes,
thus rendering the first available to those who,
from necessity, required the accommodation.
A good subscriplion has been made and is still
being made, but 1 have not learned the amount
of the number of bales of cotton.
This county, however, is wide awake to the exi
gencies of the times—and having sent two com
panies to fight, with a third, which will be ready
in three weeks, those who are left behind are
ready and willing to aid in all good works towards
maintaining our independence and sustaining our
Government.
For five weeks we have had no rain of conse
quence, and our crops are suffering very much.—
The small grain crop in Oglethorpe county was
never better. This is some consolation in the
present drouth.

Cavaliers and Roundheads in the Old and New
World. —A correspondent of the Charleston Mer
cury says:
In your paper of yesterday are some remarks on
the “great rebellion” of 1642. The paper states ,
that King Charles was invited bv Virginia to take
refuge witkin. her territory, there being no refuge
elsewhere. The writer evidently alludes to Charles
the First, and in this he is mistaken. The facts
are as follows : After the battle of Worcester,
(1G52,) in which Charles the Second was defeated
by Oliver Cromwell, Virginia did invite his Majes
ty to take refuge on her soil, but Charles pre
ferred the Continent. Oliver Cromwell, inconse
quence of Virginia’s loyalty, sent over a gang of
his levellers and roundheads, and succeeded, for
a time, in keeping down the royalists; but it
wouldn’t do, and Virginia was the first ot the
British dominions that kicked off the son of the
upstart, and proclaimed the rightful monarch. In
consequence Charles ordered the arms ©f Vir
ginia to be quartered on the royal arms, with the
legend “A'/t. flat Virginia quantum” as any one
cause 6 who will take the trouble of going to Rich
mond ; and, what some people may think of more
consequence still, the British Parliament enacted
a law by which it was forbidden to raise tobacco
anywhere in the British dominions except in Vir
ginia. Let us remember Naseby and Marstou
Moor, and let us hope that Fairfax will see the
debt repaid with interest.
Glorious News from Europe.—Tiie Confede
racy to bis Recognized at an Early Day. —Maj.
Gen. Pillow has received, from an official source,
and in such a manner us makes it perfectly relia
ble, information that a bearer of despatches has
arrived from the Confederate Ministers in Europe,
with advices that England and Fi ance have de
termined to protect their commerce on the Wes
tern continent, and that, to ensure its entire safe
ty, each ot the governments have ordered twenty
additional ships from their respective navies, to
reinforce their squadrons in the Southern waters.
Another important point of information is, that
negotiations for a loun hud so far progressed as to
have secured propositions from different parties
and powers, to the amount of two hundred mil
lion of dollars, upon the security offered by the
prospective cotton crop, or that portion of it
which will come into the hands of the Confederate
authorities, through the confidence of the South
ern people in their government.
The same dispatches also conveyed the gratify
ing intelligence that the Confederacy will b re
cognized in a short time by the Great European’
powers ; that the blockade of Southern ports can
be of only short duration, and that the seasou
when Jour great staple is prepared for market
will see us in free commercial intercourse with all
the world, with the single exceptional’ our perse
cutors in the North. —Memphis Appeal , ( 2oth..
Latest from Cairo—lmportant Movement of
Troops. —A gentleman who left Cairo at midnight
on Saturday night brings important intelligence
of military movements in that quarter. At 10
o’clock P. M. on Saturday, 2000 troops were des
patched from the Federal camp on the war steam-
Citv of Alton, W. H. 8., and a coal tug boat,
which preceded the others and conveyed the pro
visions, ammunitions, equipments, etc., of the
force. The expedition intended to land at Cape
Girardeau, Missouri, sixty miles above Cairo, near
which place there was a Missouri regiment of se
cessior.ists iu camp on Saturday. It was expected
the latter would be attacked before daylight Sun
day morning. The Federalists also took two
thousand extra stand of arms, which they intended
to place in the hands of abolition aids in Missouri,
if necessary to accomplish the defeat of the South
ern forces.
There are about 8000 troops at Cairo and 2000
at “Bird’s Point, on the Missouri side. It was said
that they confidently expected a re-inforceinent
of 6000 men by Wednesday of this week.
Our friend represents a perfect reign of terror
as existing in St. Louis—business being almost
entirely suspended and at least 75,000 people hav
ing left the city. The estimate was given him by
a resident Acquaintance, one of the most promi
nent mearchants. All baggage of parties comiug
down the river is strictly searched at Cairo, and
many outrages upon property are perpetrated
and personal indignities suftered, through the |
conduct of the abolition troops.
The boats above alluded to have breast works
upon their guards for the protection of the troops
and crews ; these are formed of sand bags. Their
holds are filled with empty barrels, tightly bung
ed. This precaution, it is expected, will prevent
the boat from sinking, even if she is badly hulled.

Latest Movements in Virginia. —The Rich
mond Examiner of Wednesday says :
We learn by private letters from Manassas
Junction, that the Federal forces have ndvauced
in the direction of that point a distance of ten
miles from Alexandria, and were entrenching
themselves. The information is confirmed by Mr.
Brent, the delegate representing Alexandria iu
the Convention, who arrived here on yesterday
from the Junction. Gen. Beauregard, in antici
pation of an assault at the Junction, was fully
prepared to receive the enemy, who, doubtless,
made their advance movement in order to impede
any anticipated attack upon Alexandria on the
part of our forces, and pave the way for future
movements of an offensive character.
Letters from Phillippa inform us of the evacua
tion of that village by the Federal forces, who
have retired to the hills, a short distance west of
the place. The purpose was, it is thought, to
place themselves in a position less easy of ap
proach and more commanding in position. It was
believed that they would soon retire altogether
in the direction of Grafton.
The Spirit of the Rebels—A Courageous Wo
man.—Col. Lander tells an amusing incident, as
illustrative of the spirit that governs Virginia reb
els. As he was ahead of the troops, riding down
the road reconnoiteriug, he came to a house by
the roadside, where the woman of it was up,
when, Yankee-like, he began to question her
about the number of Secessionists in the neigh
borhood. She wanted to know which side be be
longed to. He replied by asking if she supposed
he would be in that neighborhood if he did not
wish to join the Secessionists. He learned from
her that the rebels had no artillery. Before he
returned from his reconnoisance es the town of
Phillippa the woman had discoveredjher mistake,
and hail a pistol in hand for him, which she dis
charged at him, without any damage, however,—
He took oil’ his hat and bowed to her, and begged
her not to shoot at his men, as they would kill
her. Just then the advance of his reconnoitering
party came up, when he ordered a couple of them
to seize the woman’s son, a lad about seventeen,
to prevent him informing the enemy of their ap
proach. The boy was immediately seized, when
the mother came at them with an ax and the fury
of a savage, and they had to let the boy go to de
fend themselves, when he took to the woods, and
was soon lost to sight. As the main body of
treops passed she fired her pistol at them also,
but without effect, her door receiving in return
some halt a dozen rifle hall perforations, to re
mind her that shooting was a dangerous business.

Sickness and Death Among the Northern
Troops.— A letter dated Washington, June 21st,
published in Saturday’s Baltimore Exchange,says:
1 send you sonic facts in relation to the condi
tion of affairs here, which the authorities would
willingly have suppressed. Yen may, however,
rely upon them as being strictly true, and as rather
understating than exaggerating the state of things
of which I speak, for I write from personal knowl
edge. It is, indeed, perfectly useless on the part
of the Government to conceal facts which are
known to so many people, and which form the
tonic of conversation among the troops on both
siaes of the Potomac. The truth is, a very con
siderable portion of the effective strength of the
army is broken down by sickness. That terrible
disorder, the dysentery or bloody flux, is spread
ing among the regiments encamped on the Vir
ginia shore, with unexampled rapidity, and the
fatality which accompanies it is perfectly frightful.
Within a very brief period, one of the New
York regimeDts have lost sixty men by this dis
ease alone. Avery large number of the men be
longing to the 69th, are also down with it. Many
of the other regiments are beginning to feel its
effects, but, as yet, not so severely. There are,
or rather were,’two days ago, no less than seven
hundred men in the wards of the hospital at
Georgetown, and it is more than probable that
the number has been greatly increased since,
although they are sending home such of the three
.months' map' as are able to be moved, as speedy
as possible.
The three months’ volunteers, nearly to a man,
will refuse to take service again when their term
of enlistment expires. The earlier PeusylvaDia
troops will be paid off and disbanded, in about
two weeks-*-tbe remainder have, as yet, from
three to five weeks to serve. They are bent on
getting back to their friends aud acquaintances, as
they can obtain a discharge—more than one of
them have actually mutilated themselves to effect
this end more speediiy.
It is so with the rest of the regiments—none but
tbe poor wretches, who have no friends, will con
sent to enlist for the war. They are aiso having
an anxious time of it at the outposts over the riv
er—not a night passes but the sentinels are pick
ed off by tbe Confederates. Every morning, the
light guard is sent out to bring in the dead, And
the number are daily increasing. Already the
killed and wounded, at the outposts alone, would
count up hundreds. You are now m possesion of
the main reasons why tbe government isoeager
ly calliDg for additional regiments. It is my can
did opinion that the army, broken down by sick
ness as it is, and soon to be weakened by tbe loss
of the three months’ volunteers, is in no con
dition to take the field, and the new comers will
scarcely fare any better than those who are al
ready here.
The Westers Border. —Information was re
ceived in the city, by telegraph from Madison,
Ark., on Sunday that an express arrived at that
place on Saturday, with advices for-Governor
Rector, stating that 2,000 federal troops, composed
ot Dutch and •‘niggers” were about to lake Bloom
field (near the border.) The citizens of Chalk
Bluff call upon the Governor for aid to repel the
invaders.
We think the report from Chalk Bluff probably
true, as we learn by the telegraphic reports from
St. Louis, dated the 20th, that Col. Solomon’s Ger
man regiment had taken up the line of march for
south-western Missouri, and that Col. Seigel’s
regiment, another of the German levies, would
soon follow.— Memphis Appeal, itth.
The New Constitution.
J fiddle and Southern Georgia Be wan—Over 275,-
000 of your population to be Unrepresented.
As the gravest question that should agitate the
public mind iu Georgia at the present moment—
and it is a very brief period they have for reflec
tion—we again advert to the new Constitution,
proposed for their adoption or rejection on Tues
day next.
From the peculiar character of the omission i
noticed particularly in our issue of yesterday. It is
clear to our mind that theinteotiou of the framers
of the new instrument was to alter radically the
system of representation under which we have so |
long and satisfactorily lived, by substituting an
exclusively white for the old and well established
mixed basis. Whatever may have been the iu
tention of the Convention, it will hardly be dis
puted that such wiil be the legal effect of the
measure. Every part of the old Constitution is
copied in the obnoxious sectiou refert ed to, ex
cept that which defines the terms •'representative
population,” and the unavoidable inference is,
that the Convention iutended to repudiate that
definition and to establish another through the
Courts. Were the matter only one of uncertain
ty—of doubtful construction—the people should
reject the whole instrument. It was the duty of
the Convention to give the people a government
relieved of all doubt as to its character and mean
ing, and not to be left to the Conrts to construe
and fix its signification.
Granting that the mixed basis is destroyed by
the new Constitution—and we have not a doubt
on the subject—in hat condition will it place a
large portion ot the people of Georgia—that por
tion which pays the taxes aud supports the gov
ernment of the State? We will answer the ques
tion, and honest men iu the middle aud southern
divisions of the State will stand aghast at the
monstrous wrong that is about to be put upon
them.
The present Constitution declares that three
fifths of the slave population shall be counted in
the apportionment of Representatives. The lqst
census puts down our colored population at four
hundred and fifty-eight thousand five hundred
and forty, among whom we have a representative
population, confined chiefly to the middle and
lower sections of the State, of over two hundred
and seventy five thousand, every one of whom are
to be blotted out iu our future apportionments,
thereby centering all power iu our Legislature in
the northern portion of the State 1 Are we pre
pared for this sacrifice ? Will the people ot the
large slaveholding sections, Samson-like, quietly
fall asleep on the bast Tuesday in July and allow
this Delilah of a Convention thus to shear them of
their power ? We hope not. A vast iutcrest is at
stake, and they should rally to its protection, to a
man. Xo one should stay away from the polls;
they should give a unanimous vote against the in
strument of their overthrow. To do otherwise,
would be an act of suicide unparalleled in the his
tory of a free people. —Savannah Republican.
Maryland Legislature. —ln the Maryland
Legislature on the 20th the following resolutions
were adopted by a decisive majority:
Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That, recognising our relations to the Federal
Government, we feel that whilst we cannot do
more we can do uo less than enter this our sol
emu protest against said acts of the President of
the United States aud declare the same to be
gross usurpation, unjust, oppressive, tyranical,
and in utter violation of common right aud of the
plain provisions of the Constitution.
2. That the right of separation from the Federal
Union is a right neither arising under nor prohib
ited by the Constitution, but u sovereigu right,
independent of the Coustitntiou, to he exercised
by. the several States ou their own leaponsibility ;
neither do we believe that the Federal Govern
ment has any power under the Constitution to
wage war against a State for the purpose of sub
jugation or conquest.
f>. That prudence aud policy demand that the
war now being waged shall “cease; that, if per
sisted in, it will result iu the destruction of both
sections, aud a longer continuance of it will utter
ly annihilate the last hope of a reconstruction of
this Union; therefore we went peace, aod are
in favor of a recognition of the Southern Confed
eracy, aud an acknowledgment of its Govern
ment.
4. That we deem the writ of habeas corpus the
great safeguard of personal liberty, aud we view
with tile utmost alarm and iudignation the exer
cise of the despotic power that has dared to sus

Indiana Troops Surrounded by Confederate
TRoors.—The following is a portion of the lead
ing editorial in the New York Herald, ot Satur
day morning, June 22:
The most cxcitiog news we have to record to
day, is thut which reaches us from Harrisburg, to
the effect thut (lie gallnnt Indiana regiment of
Col. Wallace, which has been so active in dispers
ing the enemy at Romney, has been surrounded at
Cumberland, Md., by a force of 10,000 rebels, com
manded, no doubt, by Geu. Joe Johnston, and all
chances of retreat ent off. This disastrous intel
ligence reached Harrisburg yesterday, and imme
diately a strong force, consisting ol Col. Biddle’s
rifles and Col. Simmons’ infantry regiment were
ordered to start, with four days’ rations, to the as
sistance of Col. Wallace’s oommand. They left
last night by wuy of Hopewell and Bedford, aud
we must await with anxiety the result of their
mission. The regiment of Col. Wallace is com
posed of a very brave aud dariug set of fellows;
the same who, before they left Indianapolis, knelt
in front of the State House, and took an oath to
“ remember Buena Vista,” and there can be very
little dcubt, we think, that in the present despe
rate emergency they will make a gallant struggle,
whether vanquished or relieved.
The following is the telegraphic dispatch pub
lished in the Rtraid, and referred to in the prece
ding paragraph :
Important from Cumberland. —Harrisburg,
June 21.—Onr city has been all excitement to day.
News was received here by the State authorities
that Col. Wallace’s command, at Cumberland,
Md., hud been hemmed in by a rebel force num
bering over 10,000 men, and that all retreat had
been cut off.
Two regiments of the volunteer reserve corps
—Colonel Biddle’s Rifles and Colonel Simmon’s
Infantry—were immediately armed, equipped, aud
furnished with four days 1 rations. They leave
here to-night by way of Hopewell aud Bedford.
Intelligence has also been received hero that
the workmen engaged in preparing the ground
for the new camp near the Maty laud line, at New
Freedom, York County, were fired on by a party
of Maryland rebels, and two severely wouuded.
The Confederate Commissioners in France.—
The Pans correspondent of the.Loodon Star writes,
June flth :
“ The ministers of the United Stateß have hard
ly left Paris when the agents of the Confederate
States make their appearance. Mr. William Rost
has arrived, charged with an extraordinary mes
sage from President Davis to the Emperor’uf the
the French. Many Americans—it is hard to di
vine why they venture such an assertion—say
that the Southern envoy and his friends are very
sanguine as to the ultimate success of his mission.
Mr. Rost is accompanied by several other gentle
men, some of whom set out immediately ior St.
Petersburg, Prussia, and Austria ; and others try
aud engage on their side the sympathies of the
manufacturers of France. Noihiug is said about
the Manchester men, iu connection with this
new mission ; but it may fall strangely on English
ears to be told that most of the slave-owners stay
ing at Paris appear to be under the impression
that some of these days English men of war will
be despatched to break up the blockade estab
lished by President Lincoln.”
The Federal Union is calling for a Convention
to nominate a candidate for Governor, no doubt
anticipating the nomination of Gov. Brown fora
third term A short time ago it was for ruuniug
the Governor as the “people’s candidate,” with
out the agency of a Convention; but it seems to
have new lights now. Is it right sure that they
are not false ones? It expresses its surprise that
“there are a few men in our State, who wish to
change Gov. lirown for some mousing politician,
some adroij trickster, thut will be perfectly sub
servient to the Banks.” This is almost as severe
as its former denunciation of the Governor’s op
ponents as “swell-heads.” It adds that it “will
be a sad day for Georgia when she exchanges her
bold, houest and energetic Governor for u slip
pery politician, who can be swayed about by some

chance can “mousing” aud “slippery politicians”
or “adroit tricksters” have to reach tbe seat made
sacred by Gov. Brown’s occupancy, except bv I
the agency of a Convention? And if the people
are left entirely free to select their own Chief
Magistrate, without the intervention of a caucus
of managing politicians, how can their elect, tbns
chosen, be brought under the control of “self
constituted dictators,” banks or individuals ?
Columbus Enquirer.
We take pleasure in copying the following no
tice of the liberality of one of our citizens, from
the Albany I‘atriot of the 27th. Col. Clanton is
a large planter in Dougherty county :
The Right Spirit.— l* will be remembered with
what kindness and hosp.-Jity Col. Turner Clan
ton treated our first company from Dougherty,
the “Albany Guards,” during their stay in Augus
ta while eu route for Virginia. His liberality is
still further enhanced by directions to his agents
here to remit at once to the “ Davis Inviucibles ”
one hundred dollars, and whicn we learn was
promptly done. Col. Clanton* also gives further
instructions to pay the same amount to any com
pany or companies from Dougherty who are raised
and accepted for the war.
From Fredericksburg, Va.—A correspondent
of the Richmond Dispatch, under date of Fred
ericksburg, June 26, has the following :
It would be the extreme folly for me to attempt
to record half the high-handed outrages commit
ted along our border, near this place. It is well
known that any brave and generous man recoils
at the thought of destroying private property, and
thereby outraging every law of civilized warfare ;
and yet, each day records some dastardly act of
the kind, on tbe part of the minions of the Lin
coln Government. Scarcely a train or messenger
arrives from the Potomac that we do cot hear of ‘
some cowardly attack upon points undefended, or ,
at least but poorly defended. One example is suf- ;
ticient to show what kind of warfare we may ex
pect from those who. a few mootbs ago, were
panting to be called in defence of tbe flag and the 1
Constitution of the United States.
The dwelling-house of Dr. Grymes, of King |
George county, near Mathias’ Point, was, on |
Monday, reduced to a tctal wreck. No one can !
imagine the motive for this uncalled for destruc
tion of private prr perty, unless the enemy had
some information to the effect that a house near
by was occupied as a hospital for the sick at that 1
camp. It was also reported yesterday that a barn i
in that vicinity had been fired and burned with j
hot shot. Ido not know how true this mav be; !
but from the general character of those employed i
on tbe “tugs,” I am prepared to credit almost 1
anything.
Heavy firing was heard again yesterday down
the river, but at what point has not been clearly
ascertained.
P. S.—lnstead of a barn being burned, as I said
above, I now learn certainly that it was the
dwelling of Dr. Hooe. The hand of Providence I
is evidently protecting our men ; for, frequently
during the firing, shells bursted within six feet of j
them without inflicting tbe slightest scratch.
Arrival of Georgia Troops.— The Ninth Regi
ment of Georgia Volunteers, embracing nine
companies and nine hundred men, arrived yes
terday, and were mustered into the service of the
Confederate States on the Capitol Square. Pre
vious thereto the men were reviewed by Gov
Leteher. The Regiment is composed of very flue
material. Some of the men have extraordinary
longitude. All of .them seemed hearty, healthy
and strong, and capable of doing their part to
wards expelling the invaders of Southern soil,
the Regiment is to be joined by another company
now on its way here, as was understood by in- j
quines made of some of the men. President. |
riavis appoints the Colonel and other staff officers,
and the choice being confided to him, no doubt
the “Ninth” will go into the field under competent
leaders. It is conceded by Loncoln’s soldiers that
those ol the Confederate States are more ably led
than they are. The Ninth Georgia Regiment
brought a drum corps with it.— Bichmotid Dis
patch, 27 th.
Late from the Seat or War.—A letter written
at Warrenton, Virginia, at five o'clock yesterday
morning, received in this city the same day on
tbe arrival of the Central cars, states that the
Abolition and Confederate forces between Aleiao
dria and Manassas Junction were within two miles
oi each other, and that the beating of the enemy's
drums could be distinctly heard in our camp. The
writer was of opinion that a collision was inevita
ble at a very early &aj.~Richmond Dispatch, 27th.

Extraordinary Pistol Shots; —Capt. John Tra
vis, so well aud so favorably known in this city,
(says tbe Vicksburg Sun,) nas bad a class of la
dies learning to shoot with the pistol. In these
times it has become an essential and popular part
of female education. A few days ago tbe Captain
resorted with a few members of bis class, to the
residence of A. H. Arthur, Esq., tar tbe purpose
, of practicing, with the following result: The tar
get was placed ten paces distant. Mis. VV.TI. Ste
i vens ruug the bell four times out of five shots,
! with a rest, and eigth times out of fifteen offhand.
Mis. Garvin four times with a rest out of five, and
four times out of fifteen offhand. Mrs. Gen. T.
C McMaekin twice out of five times with a rest,
and six times out of fifteen offhand. Mrs. A. H.
Arthur twice out of five times with a rest, aud i
seven times off-haud ont of fifteen shots.
Capt. Travis says that it equals any shootingbe
ever saw by any class. We are in no danger when
every one of our noble ladies is a hero, and can
use the weapons of Mars upon their enemies as
effectively as they play the batterv of their charms
upon their trieuas. Who would not battle for
them ? Vicksburg is a head taller than any place
in the South.
Horrors op War.—We learn that on Thursday
last two of the dead bodies of Lincoln’s men were
found in the woods in the neighltorhond of the
Bethel battle ground iu a state of decomposition.
They were traced out by means of buzzards hov- ;
eriug over tbe spot. One of the corpses had iu
bis havresack a quarter of baked shoat. It is sup
posed they had orawled away from the scene of
battle after being wounded, and died on the spot
‘on which they were discovered. From their uni
forms it is presumed they were members of the
Zouave Regiment. It is “said that all along the
road from Bethel to Hamptqu a most intolerable
stench prevails, and mat from the appearance of
the buzzards circling around about, there must be
numbers of putrifying carcasses iu the woods.

East Tennessee—Action op the Convention.—
We learn from a private source that the Conven
tion of Union men at Greenville adjourned on
Thursday, the 20th. They passed resolutions
providing for aietuoriqliziug the Legislature for
the separation of East Tennessee from the State;
make provision for the election of members to a
General Convention to meet at Kingston, at some
tuiure time, at the call of tbe President; appoint
Messrs. <). F Temple, John Netberlnud, ana J. P.
McDowell commissioners to the Legislature; aud
request tbe members of that body from East
Tennessee to take their seats immediately.
We regard this actiou us a decided triumph of
tbe conservatives in East Tennessee, aud as offer
ing a much better prospect of the ultimate acqui
escenc of the people of that portion oftho State in
the policy of the majority, as indicated at the
ballot-box on the Sth, than we have had reason to
anticipate. —Nashville Banner, 23rd.
War Coffee. —Avery good coffee cau be made,
costing only 12)4 cents', by mixing one spoonful
of coffee with one spoonful of toasted corn meal;
boil well and clear iu the usual w uy. 1 have used
it for tw o weeks, and several friends visiting my
houso say they could not discover anything pecu
liar in the taste of my coffee, but prououuced it
very good. Try it, aud see if we cau’t get along
comfortably even while our ports are blockaded
by the would-be-king. I can assure you it is very
pleasant, though not strong euougfi to make us
drunk.— Exchange.
The Government refused to allow the dispaten
made out for the Associated Press, oj the Vienna
affair, to be transmitted. The reason fbr that is
not known. The New York Times is out of
humor about it, and suggests to tbe Government
that it exercise some ot its vigilance in another
direction, and declares that if it were half as zeal
out to procure information as it is to prevent tfcp
public frohi getting it, it. would run into fewer
“masked batteries,” and lose less lives on account
of its own ignorance. —Cincinnati Enquirer.
. Scarcity of Cotton and the Bloclade. —The
manufacturers at the North are becoming etnbar
rassed iu their operations by tile scarcity of cot
ton, aud we notice that the New York Dost, a
great advocate of the war, is out in au argument
in favor of raising the blockade, ou the grouud
that its continuance w ill greatly injure the North
aud correspondingly beuetit the South. The Har
risburg (l’a.) Telegraph, another war journal, an
nounces that work in the cotton mill at that place
is to be temporarily suspended, owiug to the ad
vance in the price of cotton and difficulty in pro
curing sutlicient supplies of the article. The Con
estoga Mills, at Lancaster, Pa., have already sus
pended for similar reasons. These suspensions
are, we presume, wbat a Boston clergyman a few
B ‘va ago exultingly called th# “blessings of war.”

Sending Unarmed Men to Battle. —The policy
which has been unfortunately adopted by the
“powers that bc”iu this State of sending uoarmed
men to battle, is attracting attention iu Virginia
and olsewhere. and is severely commented upon.
One of the evil effects ofkthe policy pursued hero
is driving our brave men to seek the public ser
vice elsewhere—in other States. A company
now forming in this place, has been accepted bv
the Governor of North Carolina. They have no
difficulty there, about arms or anything else. It
is a shame, though, hat our brave men are com
pelled to tender their services to the Governors
of other States, to avoid petty annoyance at home.
—Southern Watchman.
Arrival of a British War Steamer. —The
British war steamer Gladiator, Captain Hinkley,
arrived at New York ou l’uesd y from llulifux.
which port she left on tlio 31st tilt. Tbo Gladiator
oomes to New Y ork to take in a supply of coal.
She mounts six gnus and is manned by a crew of
192 men.
The Slaughter at Great Bethri .— From vari
ous accounts, we arc inclined to believe that the
destruction of the enemy was much grenter at this
battle than was commonly supposed. Wo should
not be surprised, if the truth ever comes fully to
light, thut tbe invaders lost at .east a thousand in
killed and wounded.— Richmond Dispatch.
Preparing to Evacuate Washington, —The
Ballimote Clipper has a most significant para
graph It declares that a number of sealed cars
passed through that city from Washington a few
days since, which were filled with the Govern
ment archives, removed to Philadelphia by order
of the Administration.
Verily, this looks like Old Abe was “smelling a
rat.”
Kanawha Riveb’ Obstructed by the Rebels.—
When the steamer Ohio No. 3 passed Pont Pleas
ant, on Tuesday, it was reported that, in anticipa
tion of a fleet of steamers as sending the Kanawha
river with troops, jhe rebels had obstructed the
channel at “ Red House fjboals,” 23 miles above
the mouth, by sinking flat boats in the channels
or schutes. This is the most dangerous point on
the river, being easily fortified against invasion.

Clark may be looked for daily.
Vessel Captured. —Two small schooners, pith
their crews, numbering six men, were captured
last, week by Col. Hardee’s company of Florida
troops, in Nassau Inlet, on suspicion of communi
cating with a war vessel off’ St. John’s bar, sup
posed to be the Perry. The vessels were taken
into Jacksonville to await the action of the Court

Missourians are rapidly finding their way into

Harbor Defences.—We unutfrsland that iron
covered floating batteries are erecting in New
York for tbe express purpose of coming up Nor
folk harbor to get to the navy yard. We presume,
of course, that those who are entrusted with the
defences ol the harbor have not been uDmindfu!
ot this matter; and that a sufficient number of
submarine batteries will be arranged from Sewell's
Point along up the harbor for the destruction 0 f
these uatteries when they come, as that is sup.
posed to be the mosteflectiva tituunsjoi eo.'ebanmg
them. The batteries along our shores, it is con
sidered,'would prove unavailing agaiuat these
floating batteries, .as they are bomb and shot
proof; but not beiDg made to guard against sub
marine batteries they are liable by them to be
blown sky-high. Our naval officers, of course, are
amply prepared for this braDcb of their duty.

Tbe “pears movement” is makiig rapid head
