and captured are said to be Germans. The only
damage sustained by our cavalry was the loss ot
one horse, owned bv Mr. Wilcox, of the Charles
City l’roop. The enemy would doubtless have
been all captured, but for the fact that they were
smart enough to retreat to a newly ploughed field,,
where the horses ot the Cavalry could not sue

‘ lleiiitzleman then told him. in any thing buff a

Union aud the President ol the United ritrftes, hff
should pray no more, and he would order his
ehuruli to be clbsed. Iu Mr. L. said that
his heart could not be manacled; that he (ileint
zleinan ) had the power to close the church, but
that if it was open and he Oliiciated, he should
cermialy pray “for the Mouth and her cause, which
lie believed just and righteous.

An ajixions crowd awaited Mr. J>.’s release, (for

In accordance with orders from lbs colonelship,

Onr of Lincoln’s Majoos.— Mr. U-hus. Havant,
editor of the Cahawba Gazette, is good at reminis
cences. He brings to light the fallowing incident
iu the Georgia career of Ben. Ferity Foore, who
is now the Major of the Aid Massachusetts Regi
ment. We make asiugN* extract from Mr. Haynes’
article, premising that the scene occurred in
lss :
We will commence by saying that we resided
fit MinedgeYille whilst Poor*, edited the Athens
Whig, but he Used to visit our city once or tw ; ce
etery year, aud W< lmpofeued to form a slight ac
quaintance by his father, a gofd*epectacled. im
pertinent sort of umi<iie-ageri man. There were
not maaj railroads ro th >e days, so people had
to travel mostly :n sLtge coaches. Poore and his
father reuiamen in Sfcineagevifle several days, aud
were W leave in tne stage on a certain day.
At the ai'poititod time, Poore, junior, r mkhii
seat, but senior, was not’ on hand. The
driver, whose name Was*Brawn, a peck-marked
nwii, aud a noted bruiser at that time, who was
afterward killed in Macon. 1 became impatieut and
drove #ft without Mfl Poore, but at ttio solicita
t'.vn of young Poore be drove slowly, so the old
mao might overtake them. At length okl Poore
overtook the coach, just beyond tire limits of the
town. He came up pannag and almost ©of of
brew:; 1, a- he had running as fast us he
could. lie lnvpiediately commenced abasing
Brown in she insolefit and vehement man
*er, far firemm iV/ to orive oft without Him. Per
ha $ the old man came from a region where dri
vers submitted to such abuse from travellers, but
he was then in the wrong latitude, and made a
mi slake, as Brown soon let him know.
Ihe latter kept his seat on the box, but with
fits Lng whip headnunietered a severe castigation
to the father, and then told him to take bis seat
in the coach and behave like a gentleman 1 Iti
the meantime, auddunng the progress of the as
tigallon, ihe sou. Beo.’ Perley Poore, kept firs
Stfat. and if he even opened his mouth in -ft;ou
stance we never beard of it: He did not reseut
the outrage, tor it was to a son, no mat
ter ;t tlu* fattier did merit a whipping for his in
cidence.
Now. we asJt aoy son w :jo reads our paper if he
would sit st:H and >ee such aa indigaitv put upon
his lather br anjr ntan, do n-.aiterif he did deserve
it. A son'that woukf submit to such a thing
onsrht never to hold his head up aijaiu. He would
be unworthy'tlie acquaintance t geutletuea or the
love of woman.
Header, m:- circumstance, as we have related
it. is true tu every particular, and old citizens of

This community, the State, and the entire j
South, feel aa intense interest in the details and 1
the result of the conflict which occurred in the
neighborhood of the Rich Mountain on Tbursdav I
last, and we regret that we have not the means of j
gratifying them.
Pas-'cugers who reached here from Maunton ,
or Sft . lay um ->rj yesterday sttft® that the rejiurts ,
received there are vague, inconsistent, aud every
\\ oV unreliable, and they can only report the 1
same unsatisfactory statements. We haVe no
disposition t** embarrass the minds of our readers 1
with the reiteration of such reports. I
From the best information we can obtain, the j
battle occurred on Thursday, last, with a detach- j
meat under the command of Lieutenant Colonel ;
Pegrain, and consisted of oniy three companies,
which were engaged iu the fight. This small force \
kept in check, for some time, several thousand:
Federal troops; and although sorely pressed, we
learn that not more than 4’.* were killed. j
The gallant Lieut. Col. Pegram was seriously |
wounded, and was t:iken prisoner. Many of the
men iu his command, who were believed to haveJ
been kiiied or taken prisoners, have since the bat- J
tie found their way into the cam]) of the Confede- !
rate troops.
The la.-t heard of Col. Heck’s command was that i
he was making his way through the mountains to ,
Geft. Garfiett odorces, but as it was reported that
Gen. (iarnett had fetired from Laurel Hill, and his
•positlau or dctiiha'.iou unknown, it was uncertain
when Col. Heck wjuiicf join him.
Cos!. Scott’s regiment was said to be about forty |
mites from Stauntoß/aod fij*d buen reinforced by j
’ several regiments, withic the past few days. 1
It wa a al*o reported en thousaDd of the i
i'ctte *ai army were between Gen. Garnett’s forces i
and the positicfr> Colonel Scott.

Revbblv, Va., July 12.—-Yesterday, morning
Gen. McClellan ordered four regiments, the Eighth
Tenth, and Thirteenth Indiana volunteers aud
1 the Nineteenth Ohio, to proceed along the line of
the hills southeast of the enemy’s entrenched camp
! to the Beverly road where it crosses Rich Moun-
I tam, two miles east of the enemy's position, with ;
1 orders to advance along the Beverly road and at
tack the east side of the works, Gen. McClellan
! being prepared to assault the west side as soon as
tiring suould auuouuee ihe comunnecement of the
; attack.
c*Tbe c pture of a courier who|istook the road
’ tiiromrh the enemy’s eamp for that of our troops,
j placed the euemy in possession of the movemeut,
j when Gen. Ruseneran& reached the Beverly! road
at 12 P. M.
Alter a most exhausting march over the moun
tains, he found the enemy posted upon the oppo
site r*ide of the road about 800 strong, with two
cannon, partially fortified. An engagement in
-1 sianfiy took place, aud continued three quarters
1 of an hour, when the rebels wore totally routed,
with a loss of dot) men, including lo officers and
both cannon. About 75 killed and as many wound
ed fell into our binds and 100 others prisoners.
The road was between two hills. Our troops
! descending a steep declivity were greatly exposed
| to tne tire ol the rebel*, who occupied the oppo
j site hill, aud poured musketry shot and shell upon
I them.
’ Ge.a* Rosencrans’s column remained at the place
t of engagement uuritig the night. -
, Gcu. McUlellau was iu positiou with his whole
I force during ihe whole afternoon ready to make
’ the assault, but heard nothing from the other
I column except distant filing.
; Early in the morning lie was proceeding to
plant cannon upon an eminence comniandiug the

! when it was ascertained that the enemy had
’ evacuated the place during the night, moving to
j wards Laurel Hill, leaving a few men, vheir sick

Senate.—Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, precented
the credentials of the Senators elect in Virginia,
viz : W. B. Wiley, in place of Mason, and John S.
Carlisle, in place of Hunter.
Mr. Johnson said he looked upon it as a favora
ble ounen of the return of Virginia to this body.
Mr. Bayard protested against the admission of
the uootlemen in place of Senators whose time
had not expired, and moved to refer the creden
tials to the Committee on Judiciary.
Mr. Sulsbury also objected to their admission,
and wanted the question referred.
Mr. Hale 9uid it was recognizing true and loyal
men. There was no precedent, because the world
never saw such a state of things. This was no
time to stand on ceremony. It was a question of
life or death with the government. The Senate
must meet the question here aud everywhere.—
The people were impatient now, and he feared it
would turn to indignution if the Senate hesitated.
There could be no compromise, but the Constitu
tion of the United States.
Mr. Powell wished to enter his protest against
the admission of these men. It looked like over
whelming the Constitution.
Mr. Latham said the Legislature of Virginia had
been regularly elected, and the Senate was bound
to admit their Senatorial delegates.
House. —Mr. Blair offered the following pream
ble :
Whereas, John B. Clark was elected a member
ou ibe first Monday m August, and whereas, sinpe
that time said Clark held commission in ihe
Guards of Missouri, under the rebel government,
and took a purl iu the engagement at Booueville,
therefore,
Resolved, That said Johu B. Clark has forfeited
his right as a Representative of this Congress,
arid is hereby expelled.
lie sard t hat Mr. Clark took up arms agaiust
the Government, and this was sufficient for his
expulsion. The Third District of that State was
loyal, and is therefore entitled to a loyul Ivejxre
seutative. He demanded the previous question.
On motion of Mr. Conkling, it was resolved that
a committee of seven be appointed by the Speak
er to report to this House in what manner and to
what extent the expenditure of the Government
of tfic United {States may he reduced, and what
officers ffiay be disposed with—a mil to promote
the efficiency of the army by retiring disabled and
infirm officers. Passed.
A bill was also pfssed.for the relief of the sol
diers wbo lost their property in going from Fort
Moultrie to Fort .Sumter.
Washington, July 13.—1 t is almost certain the
rebels are falling back upon Manassas. From
there they will go to Richmond.
Since the delivery of secession views in Congress
traitors here are growing bolder and treason is
interred in the streets openly.
The tariff modifications are going to cause con
siderable delay. Thaddeus Stevens’ committee
don’t agree to report the reduction on iron recom
mended by Chase.
The Senate Military Committee is overhauling
the regular urmy appointments made by the Sec
retary of War. Many will tail of confirmation.
Some who have hurried to don the epaulettes will
have to shed. them.
In the Senate John Sherman opposed tlu* fea
ture of the mili ary bill providing for an army of
Chaplains, costing nine hundred thousand dollars;
but the Senate passed it.
Senator Jim Lane contests the Kansas Gover
nor’s right to appoint his successor. He told the
Seuaft* it looked like an attempt to bury a man
before heis dead. He hadn’t resigned yet—didn’t
know as he should. When his Kansas Brigade
was full he would consider the subject, provided
the Brigade elected bim General.
It appears from calculations of the Post Office
Department that the yearly income from postage

the expenses evcoeded this sittn by |B,ODfI fc OOO,

Gen. McClellan reports perhaps 2O’ of bis Ine.ll

have taken a large number of prisoners, many of
whom are wounded. We have also several offi

The enemy lost many killed. We have lost in

through the woods entirely disorganized. Among
the prisoners taken is Dr. Taylor, formerly of the
U. S. Army. Col. Pegram was in command.—
The column of Gen. Bosencrantz left the camp
yesterday morning, and marched some eight miles
through the mountainsnjacnitig the
two or three miles in the rear of the enemy. He
defeated un advanced force thrown in by the ene

SEITt-RE OF STEAMERS EY THE GOVERNMENT.
’ (ten. Banks, acting under the direction of the
I authorities at Washington, yesterday seized the
, Steamers Mary Washington and George W.

Weems Brothers. These steamers have been run
’ ning for a number of years between Baltimore
and the ports of the Patuxent river, and it is said
carried down a number of passengers who joined
the Confederate army. Both captaijs are well
known in this city and bear a high character.
The seizure was to prevent their being taken in a
similar mauner to the St. Nicholas, aud run into
Fredericksburg as prizes.

A SUPPOSED PRIVATEER.
Boston, July 12.—Captain Gerrier, of the Brit
ish bark Major Norton, from St. Martin's, reports
that on the Jth inst.. in latitude Si*, longitude 65,
he saw a full rigged brig showing French colors,
which hailed him in English, but he replied in
French, which they did not understand. They,
however, chased the hark for three hours, but
were outsailed. The brig was of about two hun
dred and eighty tons, American built. She had
no name on her stern and was undoubtedly a pri
vateer.
Extract from the Richmond correspondence of
the Savannah Republic*..., dated July 13 ;
Letters from Washington to the Baltimore Sun,
estimate the number of regiments that have
reached that place at 80, and the number that
dare crossed over to Alexandria and its vicinity
at oil. Another letter puts down the Federal
! forces on this side the Potomac ( near Alexandria
I and at Arlington, I presume, qat 52,000 men.
This estimate, however, is too large. These forces
are under the immediate command of Gen. Mc
! DowelL
Gen. Patterson’s column, at Martinsbnrg, is
1 being rapidiv reinforced. He cannot have less
I than 80,‘Xat men at and neap that piece, and in
i a few days the number may reach 40,0*20. The
| large number of iocomotiv -s and cars which the
j invader has at bis command, enables him to
i transport troops and munitions from point to
point, with great facility. Can’t the several rail
wav companies in Georgia send on a portion of

: Thev could easily spare them during the summer
and early fall months, until the cotton crop is
ready tor market, or rather until the blockade
shall be raised. In a grain oountry like this, the
roads are not so liberally provided with the means
ol transportation as the roads are in the cotton
States.

close or blockade certain porta.
Lord John Russel replied that in the case of re

ports, but if in case of cieXl y:ar the ports were Je \

not take toat step according to international law. ‘

For the ChronicU dc Senti/ul.
Wow Shall if be I>one t
Mr. Editoe : How to provide monied means to ,
prosecute the war, support and protect the credit j
of the Confederate States, is the question. Vol
untary loans of produce will neither furnish the
means nor protect our credit; neither will the
control of the cotton crop by the Government do !
one or the other, or both. How then is it to be
done? My answer as to how it ought to be done,
and what policy will provide the means of sup
port and.protect the credit of the Government, 1
will be arguments against voluntary loans, or the
Government taking coutrol of the cotton crop.
My policy, or plan, is this : Let Congress author
ize the Government to issue Treasury notes
equal to the amount needed by the Government,
convertible into bonds running twenty years, bear
vight per cent, interest, aud th Government
will have a currency equal to gold and silver.
The government, in my opinion, will never be
compelled to issue more than eighty million dol
lars of Treasury Notes. 1 think the necessities of
the government can be met with an issue of not
more than forty to sixty millions.
3he treasury notes, it is to be observed, can
never depreciate, convertible into bunds, for the
holder of the treasury notes will at oncaturn his
notes into bonds bearing eight per cent. The
treasury note holder will not consent to take less
than the face of the note he holds, because the
bonds w ill fie a good aud safe investment. The
bonds will prevent the depreciation of the treasu
ry note>. Again, more bonds may never be issued
than is necessary to absorb the amount pf notes
issued, over and abeve the amount of the actual
wants ot the government. To illustrate—suppose
the actual w'auts ot the government required fifty
millions ot dollars, aud the government were to
issue sixty millions iu treasury notes. The effect
would be to commence depreciatidn of the treasu
ry notes. T he preventive to depreciation is tle
bonds, fur as 1 have said, the treasury note holder
will convert the note into bonds bearing eight per
cent, interest, before he w ill take less than the face
of the note.
The treasury notes will find their way into the
bonds whenever depreciation makes ‘its appear
ance. The Banks will take the treasury notes at
par, and when depreciating symptoms of the
notes appear, the Banks will couvert the notes
into the bonds, aud upon the bonds do business.
The exchange of per cent between the treasury
note and bond is, when taken in connection with the
ideaot the Banks using the bonds in their business,
and tor their business, a very profitable business.
A shrewd Bank mao will readily see that advan
tageous point. It will be observed tkf’ treasury
notes will uot be based upon th** faith of the jtvi
sent cotton crop, but upon bonds issued not only
on this crop, but upon all the productive wealth
of the S-*u th for the next twenty years. By this
pi ah you will harmcnize nit interests, and lit the
Hurtie time make the credit of the government as
good as so much gold and silver.
The voluntary loans pf produce now made to
the Government will to that extent absorb the (
credit of the Government. Suppose the Govern
ment were to lake, contr*l of tic*, cotton crop and .
issue two hundred million dollars of treasury
notes, what would be the effect? The cotton crop
would have consumed and absorbed the credit of
the Government. The Government would have
the cotton ami the planter would have the treas
ury notes, and the Government not have a dollar
to support, the expense of the army, or to meet
any of its wants. If the Government turns tuer
chant or cotton seller, what will be the effect? It
w ill be th:s: The cotton spinners of Europe will
like to see the blockade continued to the last pos
sible moment. Why? Because treasury notes
alone bought the cotton crop, and the Govern
ment cannot refuse to take the currency made by
itself for cotton when sold. That, you see, would
at once destroy the credit of the Government.
The reason why the cotton spinner of Europe
would wish the blockade continued to the hist
moment is this : The spinner in Europe wishes to
wait for the depreciation of the treasury notes,
and then, through an ugeut, buy the treasury
notes at their depreciated value-, aud with them
buy the cotton crop at perhaps half it cost the
Government to buy it. Again*; suppose the olock
ade is not raised, (and we must try to provide tor
all emergencies,) what will the Government do
with the cotton? Suppose the price of cottou de
clines to four or live cents a pound, the Govern
ment having exhausted its ability in the purchase
of the cotton crop at two hundred million dollars
in treasury notes, suddenly finds itself 111 this con
dition, with a crop of cotton on hand which cost
tw o hundred million dollars, only worth forty or
fifty millions.
Let Uougress authorize the government to issue
treasury notes convertible into bonds, payable
twenty years hence, bearing eight per cent, inter
est, and you will have u currency equal to gold
and silver.
Great Britain, with a debt 1 think of a hundred
and forty, or one hundred and eighty millions of
dollars, upou the above idea carried on a most
successful war, and did, in fact, subsidize the Con
tinent of Europe. Whenever the Northern peo
ple see you are going to protect tfie credit of your
government by issuing treasury notes convertible
into bonds, that moment they will think of peace.
It will conquer a peace.
The government can never become the purchaser
of one agricultural product, to the exclusion of all
others, without exciting prejudice, aud bringing
about division among the people.

A Conversation Willi Win. 1... Yancey.
Fa ims, June I s ;, ]s<l.
I had, last evening, a conversation with Mr. W.
L. Yancey, chief of the Southern Mission to
Europe. Mr. Yancey informed me that he haft
been in Paris less than a week, and shock! return
to-day to London, where Mis colleague, Mr. Maria,
still remained, not yet having crossed the chan
nel. .lodge Rost, of Louisiana, the third commis
sioner, has fixed his headquarters in Paris, and is
exerting himself energetically to obtain a hearing
from the Imperial Government. None of the En
voys have succeeded in reaching the Emperor’s
presence, but Judge Host avails himself ot every
opportunity to converse with journalists and the
public functionaries, who may be readily ap
proached, turning to the be. c t account his perfect
familiarity with the French language, whilst no
member of the United States Legation cun speak
that tongue.
The disadvantage is, at all times, considerable,
but at tins particular moment it is enormous. I
am well aware that very few Ainericau statesmen
ure acquainted with the language of European
diplomacy, but a great error has been Committed
b} the government ut W ashington in not appoint
ing secretaries to Mr. Dayton capable of acting as
his interpreters. Au idea is prevalent in the'Uni
ted {States that the Minister has frequent inter
views with the Emperor, who speaks English.—
Since his arrival, Mr. Dayton has seen the Empe
ror once ouly, for the purpose of presenting his
credentials. All the business relations or the
United States Envoy are with M. Thauve'bel,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, who neither speaks
nor understands English.
In my Conversation with Mr. Yancey, that, gen
tlemen expressed his views unrestrainedly. I told
him that rny object in seeking the interview was
to lay the result before the American people; that
I believed my account of his remarks whatever
they might be, would be widely read in the United
States, aud J wished him to distinctly to under
stand my intentions before giving utterance to
anything ho might desire to withhold from publi
cation.
He said he had uo secrets. Tlie object of his
mission was well known, and he had every reason
to anticipate Complete success. England had not
yet made up her mind to recognize Liter indepen
dence of the Southern Coulederacy. butsix mouths
hence, that is lo say, between the present lime
and January 1, 18(12, that recognition would be a
fait accompli on the part of both Great Britain
and France, when the same line of policy would
be adopted without difficulty by al! the other pow
ers of Europe.
The influence of England would be paramount,
and England must have cottou. Manchester has
a supply until 1 he.first of November, but it was
hardly probable tbe Britisu Govuruuicut would
wait until the last bale had been reached before
determining upon the mentis of continuing the
supply. It the blockadp of .Sou:hern ports was
maintained until the new crop should be ready
for shipment, the blockade would then be forced
bv British cruisers, when it should he found that
a rigorous embargo upon the exportatiou of tbe
staple through the Northern States bad been or
dered by the ConfederateGoverument.
Mr, Yancey had information that the Cotton
crop would amount to three and a half millious of
bales, at the lowest estimate.
These are the mum features of along interview,
during which I became satisfied that Mi. Yancey’s
reputation for eloquence is not exaggerated, ana
I cau readily imagine with what fervor he must
have addressed political assemblages during the
Secession campaign. His manner is uuld, affable
and exquisitely courteous, and the impression left
upon me by him was that he possesses both great
political talent audfascinatingsoeial qualities. He
manifested Do hatred of the North, but I regretted
to find in him the prejudice of many Soutlieru
men on the subject of Northern courage. He ad
mitted that the North does not lack brave men,
but thought that there were more in the South.
I told him that possibly ere now the combatants
might have learned to appreciate a valor common
to our whole country, and confined to no section.
Upon the issue of that conflict depends the fate of
Mr. Yancey’s mission—not upon cotton. Mr.
Vaneev himself said that England aud France
could not or would not stultify themselves by
recognizing the Southern Confederacy so long as
they'believed a reconstruction of the” Union pos
sible. He is, of course, endeavoring to convince
them that such a contingency is impossible.
Proposed Expedition to Socnr Carolina.—
I Eate in the fall, when the warm weather mode
! rates and the region becomes healthy for North
; ern troops, South Carolina must be invaded, un
! less the rebels previously submit and lay down
! their arms. And the invasion must not be by
J Charleston, which would involve too great a sac
j rifice of life, but a far better port, seventy-five
I miles turther south, though Dot so well known.—
i We refer to Port Royal harbor, which ia fifty miles
I from Savannah. It is a s..fe and commodious
port, and the shallowest part of the channel to it
has about twenty feet of water. Beaufort lies up
! tbe Port Royal river sixteen miles from the sea,
and is situated on the island of Port Royal. From
Beanfort to Charleston there is inlaud “water com
munication, by the inlets, for Teasels drawing
eight or nine feet.
This was originally the chief port of Sooth Car
olina • but it was superseded by Charleston on ac
count’of the latter having superior water commu
nication to the interior by the Ashley and Cooper
rivers. The railroad, however, is a more rapid
mode of transit than water, and by it Port Royal
is destined to be restored to its original position.
Anew railroad, tapping the Augusta and Charles
ton Railroad at Branchville, would connect Port
Roval with all the railroads in the State. The dis
trict in the vicinity is very fertile, and only rail-
I road communication is wanting to enable this
i place to successfully compete with, and even to
j surpass, both Charleston and Savannah. It
I abounds with slaves—in fact they are far more
numerous there than the whites.
Bv landing a force of 25,000 men at Port Roval,
the “whole State could be reduced, and Charleston
citv could be taken in the rear, as it was once be
fore bv the British. The slave propertv of South
Carolina would thus be ruined. So let “the chivaU
rv of that State avert the threatened blow by |
making peace a: once with the Federal power. A
communication being thns opened into the rerv |
i heart of the Southern States, reinforcements
could be forwarded, aud a strong column could
form a junction with the Federal column advanc- *
ing trom the Southwest, and thus, dividing the
So'utb into two unequal halves, and turning back
upon North Carolina and Virginia, they would
sweep the rebels as with a net into the very iaws !
of the armv on the banks of the Potomac. If” the j
rebels should not surrender before the fall it is ‘
bieblv probable that this programme w rit be car- 1
Tied “out and then woe to the reinqouhed.
Foreign Intelugexci; Extraordinary.— One
of our city contemporaries publishes a statement
from its Paris correspondent to the effect that the
agents of the Southern Confederacy in that city
have made a proposition in writing to young Cap
tain Bonaparte, formerly of Baltimore, offering
him the position of Military Dictator of the Con
federate States of America, with a contingent
crown whenever be chooses to assume the dignity.
The offer is of course understood to have been
made with a view to securing the immediate in
tervention of Louis Napoleon in our affairs. When
it is recollected that the suit now bemg prose
cuted against the Bonaparte family by tbe Balti
more branch has broken up all friendly relations
between tbe Emperor and his young cousin, the
absurdity of the story w ill he at once apparent
It is of “a piece with the famous Russell canard
which saddled upon th£ planters of r-outh Caroli
na su overpowering aesire for a royal ruler m the
person of one ol Queen Victoria’s baotlings.—Afw
Tort HeroXd
Party Conventions.
Aiaoug the many snares of the Evil One and in
ventions of his abettors—the trading politicians of
the country—nothing has contributed so much to
the destruction of the old government as party
conventions and party platforms.
Certain gentlemen announced last winter that
Republican institutions had proven a failure.—
They were mistaken. There was no trouble in re
gard to our theory of government—there was no
failure in Republican institutions. But our Re
publican form ot government Jiad been perverted.
According to the Republican theory, the people
are the source ot all power. This glorious doc
trine of ’7<> had been gradually uudermined, how
ever, by the machinery of caucuses, conventions
and party platforms, until the people had lost all
control of the government, and were only called
upon at the ballot box to register the decrees of
party conventions, while their representatives m
i Congress were relieved from all the labprs of leg
; isi avion by means of party platforms. This was
the state of affairs existing wheu the sectional and
traitorous Black Republican party succeeded in
! electing a ’President upon a sectional platform,
pledged to the destruction of the rights und prop
el tv of fifteen of the States. Then it was that
some of our people concluded that Republican in
-1 stitutionsr had proven a failure. To a superficial
observer this view was plausible ; .but those who
i looked beneath the surface saw very clearly that
1 the theory of our government had only been per
verted.
How had this been done? As before remarked,
it was through the instrumentality of party con
ventions und party platforms. When a Presiden
tial election was approaching, the hungry cormo
rants who lived only to enjoy or seek office, would
begin to Cast about for an available candidate. A
national convention would be called aud delegates
sent up from every Congressional district in the
Union. It was claimed that these delegates re
flected the vwiws and wishes of the people. In
many instances not more than half-a-dozen per
sons attended the primary county meetings
which sent delegates to the State Convention
which had the appointment of delegates to the
National Couventinn—thus removing it as far
from the people as possible. The constituency of
“a delegate to a National Convention were the mem
bers of his Mate Convention, and their constitu
ency was composed of a half-a-dozen pot-house
politicians in each - 'county—leaving the people en
tirely unrepresented ! When the Convention met
the most available candidate was selected, not the
most 1 meritorious man, and then a platform
adopted, or in other words, the principles which
were to govern the Administration for four years
were laid down.
Both the great parties having gone through
this mummery, the campa-gn would open, with
but two men to vote for—perhaps both utterly un
worthy- and thh people would have no chance, of
getting their first choice, but could only choose
between the two evils. At the ballot box they
would ratify the selection made by one or the oth
er of. the Conventions, and the new President
would, in process of time, take his seat, not to ad
minister 1 lie Constitution and laws, us be was
sworn to do‘ but. U\ furry out hi* parti) platform !
Thus was the office Qf President entirely perverted.
Members of Congress belonging to the suceess
fu party were not expected to look to the Con
stitution And the wants of the country for guid
ance,--but to their party platlorm !
Not only were the Executive and Legislative De
partments of the (iovenmicnt conn ited by an ir
responsible conclave, but even the Judiciary was
finally attacked, and :ts decision required to be in
consonance with party platform !
Is u any wonder, then, that ihe machine col
lapsed? find Black Republican ism never exist
ed, the Government could not have lasted much
longeron At * because the theory of Republican
ihstitutiftns had proven a failure, but because it
had been perverted ami ultepoyyer taken from the
hands of the people and their representatives, and
transferred to those of irresponsible Caucuses and
party conventions.
Now we ask every reflecting intelligent man in.
ihe country if this is not strictly true ? Remem
ber, we do not confine our remarks to any one
party, but apply them to all.
The country is now undergoing the terrible
punishment incident to the abuse and perversion
of dur Republican institutions. We ai;e involved
in an expensive war, undone which is likely to
be bloody and protracted. We are passing
through a fearful agony. Oh, who can estimate
the amount of treasure, blood and tears —thu
privation aud suffering—the wailing of widows
ami orphans—that will reSqlfc from this war! If
it leads only to our deliverance from the Black
Republicans, it will prove a failure. If we arc
not ulsHy delivered from party platforms and con
ventions and the bitterness of party spirit, we
shall in a few years be iu just as bad a condition
as we are to-day.
Are our people willing to suffer all these things
in vain? If not, let them frown down all attempts
to get up party platforms and party conventions.
Baity spirit is now dead, Heaven be praised!
and the war has made the people of the South a
unit. Let us. then, avoid the rock on which our
old ship of State foundered. We are told that
parties are necessary. Perhaps* they may become
so after awhile. But let us not anticipate the evil
day. ‘‘Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.”
Until there shall appear some reasonable excuse
for forming parties, let us all set our faces against
any such attempt; and above ull, when parties
shall be formed, let ns avoid the errors of the past
and not commit our elections to irresponsible
caucuses and suffer our legislation to be con
trolled by party platforms. It has already cost
us one government. Let us not sacrifice another
in the same way. —Southern Watchman.
Remarks of Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, in the
United States House of Representatives, Wed
nesday, July 10:
Mr. Vallandigham proceeded to review the
President’s message, und after referring to the
call for four hundred- thousand volunteers and
four hundred millions of dollars, said that when
the House ot Representatives became a.mere ma
chine to register the edicts of the President, it
was time to abolish it. But there were gentlemen
bore who were firmly united and determined that
their own rights and privileges as representatives
of the people shall be preserved iu spirit and iu let
ter. At. all events, there aft# those who would as
sert and exercise their rights with becoming de
cency and moderation, fully and freely, uud re
gardless of the consequences. Instead of the
President communicating, as required by the Con
stitution, the state of the country, the House had
before them a vindication of his own policy, which
lias-precipitated a bloody and terrible revolution.
The President, admitted that to day we are in tho
midst of a civil war—not a petty insurrection,
which might be suppressed in twenty days by n
proclamation and the employment of three
mouths’ militia. He had totally uml er-efeti mated
the character of the revolution with which we
have now to deal, and had also usurped power
which the Constitution expressly confers on Con
gress. The President had omitted, while making
out his case against the disunionists and seces
sionists of the South, and which he might have
made much stronger, the still stronger case
against the Abolitionists of the North and \Vcst.
He had not alluded so much as a word to tlie
*• irrepressible conflict” and other causes which
superinduced the actions of the South.
Mr. Vullaudighani expressed his astonishment
that the* Ad ministration had ignored the history
of the last session wheu Congress refused'to sup
ply the General Government with the means of
war against the South. Every principal proposi
tion for an adjustment of our difficulties came
from gentlemen of the Booth, with the exceptipn
of that of Mi-. Kellogg of Illinois,* and they all
knew the fate which the latter met. In the sub
sequent elections the people ratified or approved
of the ‘policy of peace. Secession was then melt
ing away, but it was strengthened and invigorated
by the policy of the present Administration. In
tTie course of his remarks he alluded to the ill
advised passage of-a high protective tariff’. In
further argument ho charged the President with
usurpation of power which would have cost a
sovereign of Europe his head, and severely repro
bated the progress of affairs, which tbieafceued
popular liberty and the l ights dear to freemen.
He stood to-day where he stobod.-on the -ttli of
March last—where the Democratic and Constitu
tional Union Party ’then stood, and where he
believed a majority ofthe people of the United
States then stood. He was for peace —speedy,
immediate, honorable peace, with all its blessings.
His duty should be discharged freely, calmly,
honestly, and regardless of consequences, with
the approving voice of conscience, void of off ence,
and with an approving public judgment, which
will follow alter some time be passed. These,
God help him, were his trust and support.
Mr. Holman asked Mr. Valluudigbam whether
he was in lavor of defending the integrity of the
Union, or of recognizing the so-called seceded
States as a separate nationality.?
Mr. VaLandigham replied by sending up a reso
lution, which was read, asserting that the Nation
al Government, is the agent of the people of the
several States; that tho Government consists of
three distinct departments, the Executive, Judi
cial and Legislative, and that it is the duty of
every one to sustain these departments with all
the constitutional power which may be necessary
and proper for the preservation of the government
in its principles, vigor and integrity, and to stand
by the flag, w hich represents the Government,
the Union and the country.
Mr. Ilolman remarked, while the gentleman
censures the Administration, lie and his constit
uents were, he supposed, for its support now.
Mr. Vallandigham replied, that he was respon
sible to his constiuents for his public course, and
not the gentle ian from Indiana, at whose in
stance the Holman gag was yesterday adopted.

The War in minourl.
Federal Forces. Dcj'eated—Forty Reported Killed-
Railroad Track Torn Up—The Depot Destroyed.
Mr. W. C. Shryock, a well known merchant of
this city, received two letters this morning, one
from his father aud one from his brother-in-law,
residents of Mexico, Mo. These letters contain
the following important war news :
Brigadier-General Harris has a camp in Monroe
county, which, ten days ago, contained sijc hun
dred State troops and the number was increasing
every day. The people about Paris, in Monroe
county, have been for some time in daily expec
tation that troops would be sent from Hannibal,
by the railroad, for the purpose of attacking Gen
eral Harris’ camp.
This event occurred on Wednesday, when one
thousand federal troops left the railroad and com
menced their inarch into Monroe county, in search
of Camp Harris.
At Florida they were attacked by about one
hundred State troops, under the cover of thick
woods, who fired on them for one hour and a half,
killing forty, after which loss the federal troops
j. retreated in the direction of ihe railroad, but
were cut off’in their retreat by a company of sixty
■ State troops, in command of Capt. Brown.
The forces from Camp Harris were marching
up while Browu was holding the federal troops in
check. The letter from which we obtained this
informatiou was dated Mexico, Missouri, July 10.
The smie letter had this postscript:
‘2 o’clock, i. m.— Just heard from the fight, the
lederal troops were being slaughtered, and unless
they were reinforced before night they will be all
cut to pieces.
A company of 100 State troops bad marched to
the battle field from Mexico, and troops were
concentrating rapidly from all portious of the
country.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Merico. Mo., July 10.—Fighting, four miles
north of Florida, in Monroe county, commenced
yesterday morning about 11 o’clock, between
about 1000 federal troops and a portion* of State
troops, said to be from SO to 100. which have since,
from time to time, and from different places, been
reinforced. Federal troops marching for the camp
of Maj. Harris, located in the vicinity of Florida,
Monroe county. A letter from Mcllhany, our re
presentative, at 10 o’clock to-day, says the State
troops have lost none.
Loss of Federate from thirty to forty, and re
treating back toward Ciuseytille, on the Hannibal
and St. Joe railroad, from whence they started to
break up Harris’ camp. It is said, by all accounts,
that the Federal troops arc rather badly used up.
So accounts go that we get.
Our country is to-day almost deserted by per
sons going to the battle ground from h?re, dis
tant about twenty-nine miles. The whole com
munity is as one man to-day.
It is said that a train of dats started from Han
nibal up the road, but before arriving at the scone
of action, a large depot building was
to be on fire, ana the train was obliged to go back.
It was also reported at Hannibal that a larger por
tion of the railroad track had been torn up and
sixteen cars burned.
All communication with the troubled district is
cut off’. Various attempts have been made to
communicate with Mexico by telegraph,’ but with
out avail, the wires being down.
Intense excitement prevails about Hannibal and
all along the road.

U. S. CONGRESS
Washington, July 13. —The house did a good
thing to day, expelling, by a little more than a
two-thirds vote, Clark, who fought or ran against
the government, at lioonville. Vallandigham and
Burnett were bitter against it, of course. Indeed,
it is hard to believe that this Missouri Secessionist
had done half as much harm to the government as
they have tried to do.
The great feature in the senate was the admis
sion of the new Virginia senators, altera desperate
attempt by the two Delaware senators to stave
off admission by appointing an investigating com
mittee -jo examine facts notorious to the whole
country. Messrs. Carlisle and Willey were soon
sworn in, with only five negative votes—one of
them. Bright, the Indiana patriot, hasn’t half as
good a r.ght to his scat, us they have.
were showered thick upon the
\ irginiuus by senators and representatives and
the galleries were hardly restrained trom applause.
Salisbury’s scheme of compromise embodies
the Crittenden proposition. The Senate will not
of course touch it. Not a loyal man in either
House but detests the word compromise. With
the fewest this Cougress is fully up
with the people’s inexorable resolution to make an
end ot treason and rebellion, now and forever. The
opposition to the pennanent increase of the regu
lar army is so great that it may result iu the pas
sage ot an act disbanding it six months of a year
after the rebellion is effectually quelled-
Tne house committee on corrupt army contracts
has already discovered astounding swindles in
subsistence find clothing lettings by the war de
partment, previous ro Quartermaster Meigs’ ap

been at work.
Hotels are still thronged with military office
beggars. Congressmen are worse beset than even
after the inauguration. On§ good effect of this
will be to shorten the session.
A resolution will probably be introduced into
the house to inquire whether Congressman May,
now iu Richmond, has been, or is holding trea
sonable correspondence with the enemy, if so, to
declare his scat vacant.
In order to facilitate the negotiation of the

FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.
Beverly, V a., July 13. —McClellan’s advanced
division is moving rapidly to .Cheat Mountain
i ass. The rebels hdve burned the bridges at
HuUonsville, and will burn Cheat Mountain
bridge. It can’t delay us an hour. At Rich
Mountain one hundred and thirty one dead rebels
were lo.umb Cur wounded are doing well. Capt.
Chris. Miller, of Lafayette, is supposed to be mor
tally wounded by u musket shot through the right
lung. The names ot the dead aud wouuded are
not yet ascertained.
This morning Col. Pegram, commander at Rich
Mountain, sent a letter to Gen. McClellan offering
to surrender himself and command of six hun
dred men, who had’ collected since their flight.—
The surrender was accepted, and the prisoners
will march in to-day. The prisoners were much
reduced by hunger. The wounded are all to be
brought here.
\Speliul to the Cincinnati Gazette .]
Opposite Laurel Hill, July 11, lo a. m.—Re
connoitenng parties sent out in every direction
returned with the report that the whole top ofthe
mountain is fortified, and roads cut through for
their infantry and cavalry to take different posi
tions. The souud of their axes was heard at in
tervals last night, ull duy yesterday and the night
before.
Now fortifications have beeu discoverrd on the
sides of thr fountain and barricades .on all the
woods approaching. There is every indication
that they are preparing for a desperate struggle
on the top of the mountain. There position there
is almost impregnable and can only be taken by
artillery. Their pickets are drawn in within half
a mile of the camp.
Our forces are occupying the bill where Mon
day’s skirmish took places and our skirmishers
filling the woods aiul fields up to the line of their
pickets and within fair view of their camp. One
of our iiiuu was shot dead a little over half a mile
from their camp— John Houghton, of company f,
Oth Indiana regiment.
’1 he enemy huve made several attempts to draw
our men into ambuscades, but could not succeed.
One hundred and three thousand rounds of am
munition were received here yesterday, besides
seventy thousand a fc,vv days before.
Another man of ours, it is said, was killed last
night, but no report has yet been received.

It is again rumored lhat Gen. Patterson has had

On the authority of a cabinet officer it is stated
lhat an ollicer of the rebel army, in Western Vir
ginia had arrived here with a proposition that the
majority ot the forces there under the rebel flag
should raise up the United States (lag and avow
allegiance to the Federal Government. He says
the majority are loyal at heart, and anxious to
place themselves under the flag of their country.
Geu. McClellan has beeu telegraphed to release
privates and non-commissioned officers officers on
simple parole ot houor, upon their subscribing an
oath of allegiance and pledge not again to take up
arms against the government under penalty of
death. As to commissioned officers he is to exer- i
else his own discretion, hut under no circumstance
is an officer or private, formerly in the the U. S.

A small steamer also made her appearance and af

A deserter from the enemy come over from to

! He states tfiat he was from the Niagara, and gives

\ prisoner has been sent down to Gen. Bragg.
A bark made her appearance outside, yesterday
supposed to be a British inarchaotman, bound for
I thjs port for a cargo. She left this morniog.
j Eaptain Clanton’s company has been ordered to

vice there. It is believed that five men were kill
j ed in the engagement with his company, mention

another visit at their former camping place, and
destroyed the boat of Capt. Clanton’s guide, a
fisherman.
Winter Clothing tor ocr Soldiers.—The ques
tion of supplying our troops with winter clothing
is beginning to attract considerable attention.—
It is now evident that the South must depend
mainly on herself for clothing material during this
war. Her magnificent crops will supply a large
surplus of breadstulfs and food, above the demand
for consumption at home. But the blockade of
our ports may continue up to the season when
our volunteers in the field will require heavy wool I
eogoods to protect them against the inclemency j
of winter.
Every loom in the Confederate States ought to
be busy, to supply this necessary demand. We
should not suffer the shame and disgrace of see- i
ing these brave men subjected to suffering, from I
want of foresight, energy and patriotism, on the
part of those who remain at home. We can work
for our country as well at the plow handle and ‘
the loom as in the tented field. Our woolen sac- 1
tories are too few to depend upon them for the i
fabrics that will be necessary to supply the de
mands that are now near at hand. i
Every private loom and every fair hand that
can direct should now ply with unceasing care I
until we are satisfied that there is not a soldier I
unclad among our gallant men. It is an act of pa- i
tnotism which may he done, in main part, bv our
fair country women, that we are sure they will not
neglect, when their attention is properly directed
to rt. The efficiency, nay, the safety of o, y
may depend upon it. The lady who furnishes the I
largest quantity of jeans and linseys for service! !
this year, is entitled to a gold medal, commemo
rating her patriotism. We would suggest that I
such a testimonial be offered, bv the merchants of i
our city, to the lady who brings" to the market the
largest quantity of serviceable goods for winter j
clothing. On no accoum ought this matter to be |
neglected by those who have the material and the I
machinery. —Nashville Union.
On Dit.—We learn that the patriotic ladies of i
Jackson purpose getting up, arm ing and equip- j
ping, a company ot men tor the war. This js in

add, that Mrs. Col. Tar play’s name stands promi
nent among tbe list of noble women engaged in
this laudable undertaking, it must needs prove a
success, and one which, in the history of Jackson,
will be reverted to with pride and pleasure by
those who shall live to enjoy the blessings and
glory of our present struggle.— Ykbtburqtim,

Where are mv boys, my gallant boys?
The/tattoo has called them to rest,
To the weary soldier’s restprofound,
His ready arms all piled around,
A knapsack his piUow, his conch the rude ground,
Far, far from his own home nest.
Where are my boys, piy gallant boys ?
While I sit here alone.
And fancy the scenes of their soldier life,
And see thorn awaked to the deadly strife,
By the stem alarum of drji.m dud life,,
Or the trumpet’s piercing tone. *
Where are my hoys, my gallant boys ?
Wheri the daily work’is o’er
We watch for their coming steps in vain ;
And our thoughts revert to the battle plain,
To the flying foe pursued amain,
And the ganuou’s deafening-roar.
Where are my boys, my gallant boys?
My boys that knew no fear ?
Where’er their country calls.their arms,
Where swell the loudest War’s alarms.
Even wooing Gorgon Danger’s charms,
My gallant boys arc there.
Aye, there are my boys, mv gallant boys;
May God tbe;r> souls endow
With strength to battle for the right!
“Teach their haudsto war and their fingers to fight,’
Till out of darkness Ilk calls forth light,
Whose’eye is on them now !
Then, then, my boys, my gallant boys !
When Victory's wreath is won,
When the Horfic of your love is a ya+km free,
And her despot foe nas bent the knee,
I ask, vtnrr homeward steps to see.
When vour work is nobly tlOtie.

Sharp Practice in Philadelphia,^-A corrcs
pondent of the New York Tribune writes from
Philadelphia :
Our authorities begin to entertain the idea of
having a large amount of corporation work douc,
iu anticipation ot the wants of future years, in or
der to employ the idle laborers now on the town.
There may--he much suffering am on if this class,
but there is much exaggeration and imposition.
This is proved by those who have charge ot the
funds to b* disbursed to tin* familiesof absent vol
unteers. One woman has been found drawing pay
for three husbands, another for two, others tor
men not married, while others have been allowed
for five, six and seven children,- when they had
but one, and in some instances none.
A Gooff Sign.— Mr. J. V. Durand, agent for the
house of dt R. J affray A Go., of London, was in
our city yesterday. YVe learn from him, that this
well known British firm designs establishing an
agency in New Orleans, for the importation of
goods, wares and merchandise of every character
direct from Europe, with the view of supplying all
orders from Southern merchants. Every move
ment of this kind—the natural sequence of Lin
coln’s blockade—will ;g!d to the growth of South
ern cities iu just snch proportion as it detracts
from the industrial prosperity of those in the
North. — Mtm\ph is Appcal, 1 1th.’ a
Wooden Nutmegs Outdone,^— There is a Parisian
dandy who, we think, has rather outdone Con
uecticut. C had at hjs residence a complete
costume of a groom. When offering an attention
to one of the fair sex, he used to say : “ Permit,
me to send you a bouquet by my black servant.”
He then repaired to his garret, took out his black
ing bottle, polished his face and hands, put on his
livery, and knocked at the lady’s door. “ Here,” ,
he said, “ arc some flowers ie/ft by master to
madume.” lie had spent the lost five Trades iu the
purchase. Madame was so delighted with the
present, that she presented a louis t the bearer.
To at is ,a clear pocketing ofthe dollars, and a

The Florida Regiment.— This regiment, Gol.
Ward, arrived in this city by the Savannah Rail
road train yesterday afternoon, at four o’clock.—j
They immediately took up their line of march for

leave tor the seat of war in the two o’clock train
to-day. We recognized many familiar faces in
the regiment, among others, Lieut. A. J. Russell,
formerly of this city, aud for a long time First
Lieutenant of that veteran corps, the Cadet. Rifle

into action.— Chas. Courier, l\)ih.
Patriotism of the Blacks.—Two ot Mr. Bank
sight’s negro carpenters, who have been at work
on our premises during the last two weeks, gave,
without solicitation, half their rations for the sup
port of volunteer eouipnbics recently encamped at
this place. They seemed to comprehend the fact
that the war in whicli,our volunteers are to en
gage is one in which their interests are specially
involved, and rightly regard our soldiers as their
best friends.—Dry/m ( Fla.) Comjxtnion.
Important to Volunteers. —Capt. Win. C.
Humphreys, ofthe Rth Georgia regiment, writing
to the Atlanta paper/*, from Winchester, the Ist
inst., says : “ Allow me through your columus to
inform alt volunteers who have not purchased
side arms, that it is useless for them to do so, as
they will not be allowed to carry them after they
are mustered into service. The money each
would spend for a pistol will do them great good
if brought in money. There are men here follow
ing the army round to buy pistols of the volun
teers when orders are issued to dispense with
them, which are given as fust as the different
regiments arrive in camp. Tt will be money
thrown away to buy pistols. Those who are here
buying are doing so for speculation, knowing
those to whom they-sell them will not be allowed
to use them.”
Villainous Outrages in Baltimore. —-The Yan

ment of women and children, to wiu for them
selves an immortality ?f infamy. A correspon-,

Baltimore:
“I remained in Washington till Monday evening
and then went to Baltimore, where I whs most
cordially welcomed. Qh, these arc the
sufferers, more tbafi we ; IheseGiave more to bear
of insult and tyranny than we. Miss L-fold
me that —- —~ had oi&'of these soldiers’s hands
put in her bosom, under pretence of looking fur

behind her by one of General CatUvallader’s men
in broad daylight, in a public .street, who asked
her if it was true that she was thfi prettiest girl jn
Baltimore, and laid aSecessipn Dug in berwkftjow?
“Since these outrages the girls all wear pistols
and short swords, and are.delenuinodjto use them.”
