Tun F.ncavpnent at Union City—Gen. Clark, —1 he 14th and 15th Mississippi regiments ccm pri-c a pßit of the force at Union City. A cor respondent of the New Orleans Delta writes from that place, under recent date, as follows : It is a prevalent opinion here, and it is said to be that of the Cairo commandant, that the neigh borhood ot Union City is likely to be the scene of the second Manassas. Gen. Clark, of Mississippi, brigadier-general of the Confederate army, is our commander ut Union City, and is an exceedingly discreet, brave and efficient officer. The soldiers and caucus have unbounded confidence in his ability. There is no doubt that his position was some what vulnerable to attack from Fremont’s army last week, owing to the diversion of our forces ut New Madrid, aud 1 am iuchned to think that Gen. Clark is fully sensible of the exposed condition of his forces Had Fremont been aware ot this he would no doubt lo ve advanced, but I <l l not believe he could have reached tho rear of Memphis. J! 1 have taken some plans t<> inquire, and 1 find that there are great rvs iv resources in the country—farmers by hundred?, provided, every man of them, with his hunting piece—a trusty rifle or shot gun, though hat few pistole, except in th? hands of tbe ladies. I hear many of the citi zens of the country, and of this'own, who have provided every female member of their families v. :tb revolvers, and but few 1 can assure you, aie wanting the nerve to use them. Tho nergy of Gen. Clark has fctely proved etifctua’, l think, in stopping the dangerous espi o;..t •* which has been so successfully practised, and thus no doubt has he ureveuted the exposed nature <> his camp being known to the enemy. His efficiency, 1 imagine, has pretty well remov 'd any vert danger at the present, as lie will mow be reinforced, twi doubt, to the desired extent, be foic the enemy is aware and offer him battle. “Onward to Washington!”—The New York Herald has -übstituted the above for the cry of “On to Richmond !*’ We copy from that paper of Tuesday last: More troops are ordered to the capital. Move ment:*. of the rebels indicate an attack on Wajsh o.gtou. There are our national buildings, our archives, our government, our labor for seventy f.vc years These must be protected. The ques * on for consideration, therefore, is what meas i res ought to be taken to avert so fearful a catas • he as the fall of the capital * Since General McClellan has been placed in command of the \ru;v of the Potomac, great vigor has been in iused into the conduct of military matters.— Troops are being forwarded in great numbers by cverv conveyance, and by Saturday next about men, in addition to those already there, w;ii be in the capital frofu the teu States just call ed upon by tde Secretary of War. All officers on furlough, whether bolding command of regiments or companies, all soldiers, in fact, not on duty, or.ght to report at once to their commanders, and “Onward Washington!” should be the cry and tbe answering movement. With prompt and de cis.v© action, au overwhelming military force can be encamped on the lower Potomac aud Chesa peake, prepared to prevent the rebels from cross ■ug over from Virginia, and a well appointed and numerous army cau be eutrenched xm the upper Potomac, ready not only to deter the rebels from making any attempt on'the capital, but place us ; in a p osition to / resume that advance movement which wa temporarily checked at Stone Bridge. Onward ! Onward to Washington ! Nav.l Affaius.—A Washington dispatch of the 30th says: * Messrs.

The Secretary of the Navy has acceded to the propo sition.

The Mobile Evening News of the 15th, alluding to the late gubernatorial election for Alabama, says : “Ho far as returns have been received, Shorter and W 7 atts are running quite close. There is no reason to doubt, however, that the full re turns will declare Shorter governor elect by a sufficient majority.” Alabama Elections.—We have now returns from all the counties except Baldwin, Blount, Cov ingtou, Cberok**e, Coffee, Dale, Dekalb, Lawrence, Marengo, St. Clair, Talladega, Winston arid Wash ington ; and the oolomus foot up—Shorter 29,543, Watts 20,155. Shorter is almost certainly elect ed by a small majorrty.

The Sinking of the Steamer “Hannibal Citt.” —The Louisville Courier, of tbe 20th, says : It will bo seen by our special dispatches that the steamer Haunibal City, a Lincoln truusport, has been sunk .n the Mississippi, some thirty miles above Cairo, at Commerce, by u masked i battery. That, in a stratcgetic point of view, is a masterly locution for the Confederates, ns it completely commands the river, cutting off’ all communication between St. Louis and and Cairo. Gen. Pillow is more than a match for Fremont <fc Cos., with “Jessie” thrown in. The Hannibal City was a large, fine boat, worth some $40,000, formerly a Keokuk packet, and left St. Louis Sunday morning with Major M Donald’s Zouaves, ostensibly for Cape Girardeau. She probably was extending her trip to Cairo and Bird’s Point, when she ran foul of that “P'llow case.” A Cincinnati paper has the following in refer ence to the same subject.: Among tbe steamboat disasters, we have to re cord the loss of the Hunnibul City, formerly a Keokuk packet. She ran foul of a rebel masked buttery that had suddenly sprung up ou the Mis sissippi, at, Commerce, some forty miles above Cairo. We did not learn whether it was owing to the carelessness or incapacity of the pilot. The boat left St. Louis Sunday for Cape Girardeau aud Bird’s Point with troops/ Tbe Memphis Avalanche gives the following relative to the situation of affairs on the .Missis sippi . The last we heard of Jeff. Thompson’s com mand it was at or near Charleston, about ten miles from Bird’s Point. From thence, tuking a northerly direction, he must have crossed the country until be struck the Toad leading to Wat kins’ plantation. From thence it is about live miles to Benton, where a small Federal force was stationed, aud from thence to Commerce about eight miles, where also a regimeut of Federalists were stationed. To occupy Commerce he must have driven the Lincoluites before him or cap tured them. Commerce is only about twelve miles from Cape Girardeau, V, here there are quite a number of the enemy, and which, until a few days since, was the headquarters of Gen. Fremont. With a good battery at Commerce Gen. Thomp son could command the river, but be would be m imminent danger of an attack in the rear from Bud’s Point or Capo Girardeau, unless Gen. Pjllow should follow him up, keep the Bird’s Point fellows at bay, and station a force at Benton. However this may be, victory baa been with us thus far and we have sufficient confidence in our Commanders to believe that it will remain. Important from Kentucky—The People Arous ed.—We were permitted on yesterday by a friend to see a private telegraphic dispatch from Pa ducah, giving information in reference to a:i important movement among the southern rights men at that place. It states that a large meeting of citizens was held on the morning of the 22d inst., lor the purpose of taking some action in reference to the urrest of two Kentuckians in Ballard county, by armed ruffians from Cairo, and the subsequent capture of the steamer Terry by the Lincoln gunboat Conestoga, while lying With in the jurisdiction of Kentucky. Resolutions were passed, requesting Governor Magoffin to give pro per protection to citizens of that section against the repetition of similar outrages up.*ti the rights of liberty and proper!; , arid the neutrality of the State, and announcing that if the Goverfloy refuse or /ail to give protection, they calL on Tennessee and the Confederate Stutes. The information is further given that Governor Magoffin had responded, by telegraph, to the resolutions, assuring them that he would give all the aid in his power, and instructing Dr. J. M. Johnson, senator from the Paducah district, to visit Cairo, and demand from General Prentiss by what authority the arrest and capture were made, and to report to him immediately. This is an important move, apd will bring the “ rugged issue” of violated neutrality to the test in Kentucky. We trust that it maybe followed by a proclamation from Gov. Magoffin similur to the one issued by the gallant Jackson, of Missouri, summoning the people of the {State to arms. Memphis Appeal, 23 d. Stampede Among the Printers at Nashville. —The Nashville Gazette of the 21at says : We understand that a number of northern prin ters engaged at the Methodist Publishing House, in this city, threw up their situations yesterday, and leave to day for the other side of Mason A Dixon’s line. The proclamation of President Da vis has shown them up in their true light. Since its publication they have been seen in groups up on our street corners, evidently consulting in re gard tc sudden movements. They have been holding good situations for several years past, contributing, no doubt, lately a portion of their wages to assist in subjugating the people who have fed them, acting too, probably, as spies in ovr midst, communicating such intelligence as has recently been seen in the northern papers un der the head of “Nashville Correspondence.” Let us feel thankful that the proper means have beea adopted to rid the cities of the South of such vara pires. Spoils of the Battle Field.—lt will be seen by the following special order that Gen. Beaure gard is determined to enforce tbe return of arti cles taken from the field of buttle : The General Commanding lias learned with regret, that after the briliisut victory achieved through the gallantry of the Confederate troops on the 21st ultimo, that arms, supplies, and inu tionsof wnr, have been appropriated by the inhabi tants of the surrouoding country, not attached to the army, whereby toe Government suffers mate rial loss iu its ability to piosecute the war with such vigor as will drive the invaders from Virginia soil. The General cannot but believe that such acts have been done through ignorunce, that all such articles are the property ol the Government. It is therefore ordered : 1. That all arms, horses, wugous, harness, mu nitious ot war, find supples anu stores of aH de scriptions, so appropriated, shall be delivered to the nearest commanding officer. 2. That each commanding officer, upon the re ceipt of such public property, shall forthwith de liver the same to the Quartermaster at Manassas Junction. 8. That such persons as fail to comply with this order shall be dealt with in the most prompt and summary manner. By order of Gen. Beauregard. Thomas Jordan, A. A. Gen. Kentucky and Tennessee.— The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes : On the 20th of September the Legislature of Kentucky will meet, aud will embrace a two-thirds majority of Union men in both brauches. They will at once proceed to depose Governor Magoffin, and to deal with the United States Senators Powell aud Breckinridge. They are much in censed at the neglect of the .United States Senate to pass a bill legislating Judge Monroe out of office. Arms will now be conveyed without diffictilU to East Teunessee. Should the forces under Gen. Pillow and others attempt to pass through Ken tucky on their way to attack Cairo or St. Louis, there will be hot work on the old “bloody ground.” Second Georgia Regiment. —A letter to the Columbus Enquirer, dated,Aquir Creek, Va., Aug. 17th says: We are stationed about miles from the coast, in a field beautifully situated, surrounded by bills on ai! sides, each of which Las a regiment or battalion eocamped upon it.

Meeting to Consider About Deposing the President. —The Boston Courier, asserts posi tively that a meeting of Republicans was held in New 1 ork Cty, in April last, at which the ques tion of the overthrow of President Lincoln was discussed. The idea was to oast Lincoln by vio lence, and establish a Provisional Government. Tbe meeting went so far as to name the man who was to supersede the President, and they deputed one of the party of editors to feei the public pulse. Our readers will recollect we referred, at the time, to the rtieie of the New York Times, which tbreateued the President with deposition, on the ground of imbecility and untitued- for the great exigency tbe country was in. Some late events are mukiug the fact lhat such a meeting of Repub i licans was held a matter of some importance. It j was the resort of a set of desperate Republican politicians, and should have merited the deepest indignation of tbe American people, but received, i in fact, little notice or little censure. rijv. utuiu*, LDpitti-t** bad Ui-KukuU of the Privateer Jell. UsHs. We had extreme pleasure yesterday of a conver sation with Mr. F. C. Duirieux, one of the gal lant crew ot the bold Privateer, who arrived in this city bytde Savannah Kail Road on Saturday evening. He kindly jumishes us with the following inter esting account ot the departure of tbe Jeff. Davis from this port and her subsequent career and ad ventures. Gn the night of the 2Stb of June tbe Jeff*. Da vis was towed through Maffitt’s channel cut of Charleston harbor by the steamer Gen. Clinch. — They had lignts stationed in the channel on both sides.and it was feared at one time tbe blockading squadron would detect their movements. They fortunately got clear, however, and made their es cape without any difficulty. When well outside the bar they observed tbe inau-of war vessels ex changing signals. They had a fair wind, aud in a very short time passed out to sea, close ou Rat- I tie Snake Hhoals. In making their course Northward they espied a large ship, beiDg of a doubtful and uncertain character aud night coming cn she was not fired at. This vessel afterwards falsely reported at i New York that she bad been chased three days 1 by a privateer. The next vessel spokeu was a brig from Baltimore bound to Porto Rico. Un der their instructions she was not molested. The brig Mary Worthington was soon after boarded, i Hhe exhibited, however, a British register, and although it was evideut that it was a late transfer, ! they felt bound to let her proceed. Saturday, July 6.—A sail was discovered which proved to be the brig John Welch. The privateer j hoisted the French flag aud the brig believing her to be a French vessel that had lost her way, un- | mediately name up to give the latitude and* longi tude. The men on board the Jeff. Dnvis were or dered to keep below. When close enough, one of the long toms belched forth for the brig to heave to, which obejed, aud the officers and part of the crew of the John Welch were soon trans ferred to the Jeff. Davis as prisoners. A prze crew was placed ou board the brig aud the vessel ordered to a Southern port. The vessel aud cargo j arrived safely. The same evening they fell in with the schooner i Enchantress, which also came up to the French man to give the longitude and latitude. She was j taken, her crew made pris mers, aud a prize crew ! placed on board the captorea vessel. The En chantress was afterwards recaptured. The following day, while iue privateeer was un der a close press ot canvas, a sail was discovered astern, which kept closing up with them. At 12 o’clock the vessel had got near enough to warn her to heave to. Hhe was greeted w ith a shot across the bows, and soon reported herself as the schoouer S. J. Waring of New York. A prize crew was pur ou board, aud the vet'Sel headed for the South. This vessel was recaptured after wards and arrived at New York The next spoken was the ship Mary Goodull, ot New York, was board.d, but being of very heavy draft, and her cargo of no importance, she was let go, utter having transfer red to her a nutnoer,of prisoners. It was found impossible to keep on board the privateer the very large number of prisoners captured—hence necessity lor the above step. Whilst making the transfer of prisoners, a small brig hove in sight, aud came up towards them not knowing the character ot the privateer. She was brought to, and found to be loaded with lum ber. Being a prize of no value, the Captain at ffrst determined to burn her. Home more prison ers, however, were put ou board of her aud the vessel allowed to proceed. This was the brig Thompson,Jfrom Westport, .Mo., bound to Antigua. She afterwards returned to Newport, Rhode Island. On Sunday, the 10th, they fell in with the bark Alvarado, of Cape Cod, from the East Indies, bound to Boston, with a valuable cargo. The Captain of this vessel had his wife w’iib him. She was taken aud sent off* with a prize crew iu a Southern direction. [An account ot the destruc tion of this vessel has already been published iu the Courier.] The Jeff Davis then sailed for Porto Rico, and arrived at that point on Friday, the kith of July. She remuiued in port until Monday. On Sunday, August 2d, she espied a schooner and gave chase. The privateer, when close enough, lowered her small boats and boarded the vessel. She was found to be a vessel with u car go of sail. As this was esteemed of no value, the proposition was made to burn and sink her. Just at that moment the Santa Clara hove iu sight, and bore immediately down upon them. She was captured with her cargo ot sugar and molasses. • The prisoners were theu transferred to tbe salt vessel aud the latter turned adrilt. She Santa Clara has recently arrived safely at Savannah. Another brig was eszied a few days afterwards, two of the small boats lowered, armed and well manned, aud with muffled oars they succeeded in reaching her. She was discovered to boa British vessel and was allowed to proceed unmolested. On Sunday, the 9th inst., haviug.no more prize masters on board and the brig proving a dull sailer, the Captain determined to make sail for home. When about 800 miles east of Cape Florida they came in contact with the ship John Crawford, Capt. Edge, from Philadelphia, bound to Key West, with arms and coal for the United States troops. She waa found to draw 22 feet of water und could not possibly be brought in. The offi cers aud crew, numbering in all 22 persons, were taken ou board the privateer, the vessel filed and holes bored in her sides aud bottom. This about 4 o’clock iu the morning and by good daylight the ship was wrapped in names, {>hoit ly afterwards, it was found impossible to‘pro cure any of tbe arms, as they were stowed under the coal. They then turned their course, with a light wind, for St. Augustine, Fla. Upon nearing the coast the wind increased, until finally it blew’ a perfect gale. The vessel had crossed the Gulf safely, ami on Friday night, the loth, they hove to and found themsel.es \n 16 fathoms water. At daylight land was discovered and a clear coast. — They were then about ten miles south of Matan zas. Squared away and made for Ht. Augustine bar. Found the tide 100 low upon their arrival, aud stood off’. The Captain hoisted the Confederate flag at the fore topguSlant mast and tiled a gun us a signal fora pilot. Three attempts were made to get iuio tbe harbor, but it was found they could not weather it. The people ou shore kept it light burning for them, as was afterwards discovered, but which the privateers did not observe or were unable to see. The vessel kept w orking up to the windward through the night, and at daylight they discovered themselves ten miles from ihe bar. The flag was again hoisted, aud a pilot was ob sei vet? coming to wards the brig aud giving the usual signals. In attempting to cross the bar, however, the brig grounded on the North Break ers. This was about half past six o’clock Sunday morning, the 17th inst. A small boat W’as sent ashore w ith Dr. Babcock and Lieut. Baya, and the prisoners lauded. The officers and crew of the privateer theu went ashore, und were greeted with the most enthusiastic demonstrations by the inhabitants. About half past uiue two- light boats went off’ to the brig along with Captain Cox etter aud other officers. The starboard guns were thrown overboard to lighten the vessel, in order lo clear her decks of water, and save as much as possible of the supplies on board the brig. Every effort was made to save everything then on board, but it is supposed that ihe guDs thrown overboard stove her iu and caused her to bilge. The light boats, howervef, were filled with a large amount of provisions and baggage, and finally succeeded in saving all thermal! arms on board. About 2 o’clock all hands had left and were conveyed to St. Augustine. The ladies threw open their houses and they were received with etneps upon cheers. Cheers w ere given for the Jeff. Davis, for the Southern Confederacy, and tbe utmost hilarity and re joicing for the safe arrival of the privateers was manifested, while there they were sumptuously provided for, and furnished with every comfort that could possibly be devisud. They learned afterwards tliut thorp had beeu considerable excitement in the town on the ap pearance ot the Jeff. Davis, it having been sus pected that she was u Yankee cruiser in disguise, and had hoisted the Confederate flag to deceive or decoy some of the vessels from the shore. The prisoners were also treated very kindly, and sup plied with everything comfortable. Before our informant left, Capt. Coxetter had again returned to the wreck and succeeded in saving an additional amount of provisions and some of the sails. Every effort was made by Capt. Coxetter to se cure as much as possible for the stockholders. The brig is a total loss. But a small piece of her bow was remaining on Thursday morning, when our informant left, and it was then thought that she would go to pieces before daylight. The crew of the privateer left for this port on Monday last, but lost the connecting boat at Toccoa and were delayed at Fernandina. It is thought they will arrive here this evening. Our informant took the cars from Jacksonville, Fla., to Monticello, from thence to Savanna!;. He says that the ladies of St. Augustine were par ticularly warm in their reception of Capt. Coxet ter, and gave him a parting testimonial of their respect and esteem for his gallant exploits. They also him with a serenade on their own guitars, accordeons, Ac. , ► We hope the brave Captain will receiffe from our cit'zens seme fitting token for the nit ri otic and glorious deeds that has sent such thrills of joy into every Southern bosom, and filled every Yankee heart with terror of this bold privateer. We are glad to learu that there will soon be another Jeff'. Davis afloat, and that the same brave crew are anxious to again go forth to avenge th<? death of Amiel, and make up for any short comings of their first adventures.—Charles ton Courier, 2M. He Could not Run Well! —A friend hands us the following passage from the letter of a fair lady, who writes from New Haven, Ct., under a very recent date : “Quite an amusing incident occurred here last Tuesday. The authorities called a meeting of all those who were not subject to military duty, to come up and make their excuses. Oue Irishman, among those who were called, gave as bis excuse that be “could not run. 11 It is needless to say that the poor Irishman was excused, us running is the order of the day among the Northern troops since the 21st of July.” A Mistake.— The Northern papers say : The newspaper story, alleging that Commander William D. Porter, U. S. Navy, is on his way home (from the Pacific side) in irons, by order of the Navy Department, is untrue. On the publi cation of his letter, encouraging his son to fight iu the oligarch’s army, orders were sent to tue commander of the Pacific squadron to take from him the command of the sioop-of war of which he was in charge, and to hand him his dismissal from the service, sent to ths Commodore’s care at the same time. Don’t Want to Enlist. —We copy the following paragraph from the Pittsburg Dispatch of the 19th iust. : Both tbe Wheeling papers speak of dilatonness among the Union men in Western Virginia in en listing, aud suggests, as a stimulant to volunteers, that Gov. Pieipont is determined to call for a draft, unless the regiments are more rapidly filled of volunteers. We have all along thought that the Union men in portions of W estern Virginia were too willing to let us do the fighting for them while they do the talking. Hard on the Soldiers—The Washington Star gives the Yankee soldiers the following in.creat ing information : Every soldier who loses hia gun, whether in cowardly throwing it away on the field of battle, or through neglect, is to have twelve dollars, tbe price of the gun, deducted from hia pay. This will show the men that guns are no toys, to be thrown away whenever it is inoonvenient to carry them. Magoffin Still Governor or Kentucky. —lt is believed that a part of the Lincoln programme is to depose Gov. Magoffin by the Legislature just chosen in Kentucky, Gov. M. not being in the interest of the conspirators against the liber ties of hia State. We are pleased to announce, however, on the authority ot the Louisville Courier, that the traitors have net secured tbe Constitutional majority in the Kentucky Legisla ture—two-thirds of the Senate being necessary to remove a Governor ; and the number of their Senators chosen being only H out ot 83, two short of the requisite number— Jtickmoad Enquirer. Military Resources or the Cgnfederaoy.— We learn that Congress has made a call upon the Governors of all the States ol the Confederacy lor ihe number and description ot small arms now in their possession, and also of those sent out of tbe States and their destination. The Governors ot me respective States are also earnestly requested to give information forthwith, of the number of’ Regiments in their States formed, or iu process of i formation, but not vet reoeived into the service o/t ; the Confederate States. The collection under authentic circumstances of these particulars, is ol ! the highest public importance io give the Govern mem here information of the military resources .of the country. The Governors will make the ! communications requested of them to the Chief of j Ordnance, in Richmond.— Richmond Examiner. Moaa Lincoln Guxs-A Bridge on the Coving ton AND Lexington Load Buent.—Wc learn that another lot of Lincoln’s guns, some twenty boxes, passed over the railroad from Covington, on Wed ; uesdav eight, cn route , probably, for Gurrard co. and East Tennessee. We also learn that one of the bridges an the road was subsequently destroyed by fire, and the regular passage of the trains was of course delay ed! A change of cars had to be made at that i point. The bridge may have been burnt by accident, but it was reported that it was the work of the people along the iiue of the road, who have be come exasperated at the Lincoluites who are try iug to set the neutrality of Kentucky at <!i tiaoce, and inaugurate civil war in our midst. Tin* bridge destroyed is at Kobiuson’s station, in Harrison county.— LouitniU Courier . Aeiikst on the Charge ok The a>ox.—Before the breakiag out of actual hostilities between the U. Slates and the Confederate States, and before in tercourse between the two sections bad been in terdicted, several busiuess houses of Baltimore f had removed their stocks of goods to Richmond, lor reasons satisfactory to themselves. Among them was the dry goods house of Lauier, Broth ers A Cos. We are informed they brought their goods Either by the way of Washington, aud were not obstructed. One of the firm, Mr. L. L. , Lanier, returned to Baltimore a few days ago, and on Tuesday last was arrested by Lincoln’s police on the charge oftreason, iu having furnished “aid and comfort to the ectmy !” These tacts we learn from the Baltimore Suu, which paper also announces the arrest of Mr. J. W. Seloy of the same firm, by order of Gen. Banks, at Sandy Hook, Md. The Baltimore Exchange, of Thurs day, contradicts the arrest of Mr. Lanier, byt the Sun of the same date reiterates its previous state ment, that he was arrested aud’sent to the Fort. We are uuable to say which is correct, but we suppose the frieuds of Mr. Lanier in ibis city are in possession of the facts.— Richmond Vi\>atck. j Freight on Wheat and Corn.—For the bcuefit of our readers we give below the rajes of freight j on Corn aud t\ heat, to the inosi important points below : From Rome to Augvy.a. • Corn Wheat From Rome to Kingston, 4c.

Potomac.—The steamer Batti i more (says the Washington Star-of Tuesday eve ! uiug,) came up from Old Point'last night,‘where ; had been detained by bud weather, briogiug , in tow eleven fine ship’s launches; four of which | were at once fitted out, each with a twelve pound I. boat howitzer, and marines, aud towed dowu to ! the fleet by the Baltimore. To-day workmen are rapidly fitliug up the remaining seven in the same ; style, and these will doubtless go dowu to-Dight. | The Baltimore reports ull quiet down the river and at Old Point. Last Friduy morning the U. S. ! ship Cumberland arrived in Hampton Ronds from Boston, where she had been undergoing re pairs. Damage by the Lath Heavy Rains —A planter iuforms us that not only tbo squares and blooms’ but many young bolls, are failing from the cottou plant. The extraordinary raius that have fallen during the last two weeks have certainly greatly curtailed the amount of cotton that would othur wise have been gathered in September, and proba bly have materially injured the general crop. Another loss—aud a very considerable one—is that of the fodder crop. The rainy season caught most farmers pulling their fodder,’ and lusted so long that those who had not pulled cannot now gather good provender. The scarcity of both corn and fodder the present year has compelled farmers to use most of their oats and other early provender, and the loss of the fodder now cannot bo to any extent supplied, as heretofore, by 1 Northern aud Western hay. A friend suggests as a partial remedy, that every planter save plenty of millet seed ami plant it next spring for early feed. When only a few inches high it cun be cut, aud will continue to grow lust and luxuriantly though cut at intervals throughout the seasou. We would add to this a suggestion heretofore made, that every farmer save the crub gruss this fall. It is already growing very fast since the rains, aud will be abundant and luxuriant. A gentleman who fed with it last veur informs us that be prefers it to fodder or Northern hay as food for horses, und its excellence ns proveuder for cattle is attested by many. There will certain ly be enough to mah.e up four fold for the loss of | fodder, aud it can be gathered by those capable 1 of doing but little other service in the field than 1 the gathering of grass or cotto j.— Columbus Kn quiver, 9Mth.. A Singular Wound. —lt is stated that the sur geon of the hospital ut. Alexandria reports a sin gular case of . ufTering under his charge. A pri vate, engaged in the battle of Bull Run, had a canuon ball pass bis facer without touching him.— He felt a strong concussion ot the air on his face as it whistled past; but, regaining his equ.librium he continued in his place until after the engage ment, suffering severely, however, with pain.— His cheek soon presented a swollen appearance, with increase of paiu. ile was conveyed to the hospital and kept under proper treatment, but the surgeons have had great difficulty in prevent ing mortification of the parts affected. Expe rienced army officers say that deaths frequently ococur from balls passing without striking the victim. • Exchange of Prisoners.—lt is stated that President Lincolu has received five different pe titions, signed by the Bull Run prisoners at Rich mond, praying that some measures might be tak en for iheir release or exchange. One of them was signed exclusively by the married men aDd heads of families, amounting to 413. It begged that they might be exchanged, iu order that they might return home to provide for their families, whom, they alleged, were suffering. Another was from the three months voluuteers, whose time has expired. The President read them all, and then passed them to Mr. Blair, who filed them carefully away. Skirmish in the Kanawha.—The Ohio State Journal, of Monday, says : By a special dispatch from General Cox to Gov ernor Denisou, from Gauley Bridge via Gallipolis, dated the 17th, wo learn that our advauced guard, the 11th Regiment, had a skirmish with the eue my’s outposts near Big Sewell mountain, 23 miles iu advauce of Gauley Bridge, the day before, in which five of the rebels were killed‘and several wounded, cur men had three slightly wounded. Disgraceful Affray among Soldiers.— The Savannah Republican, lias the following : Charleston, August 20. —A passenger by la9t night’s train from Augusta, gives the particulars of a disgraceful affray at Hraucbvilie between some of the soldiers woo cam 3 on the train. The difficulty was renewed after leaving Brauchville ; pistols and knives were drawn, greatly to the terror of the passengers. It tiuallv ended about two o’clock this morning by the supposed killing of a man believed to be named Barton Hicks, and wounding several others. Arrests were made on the arrival of the train at Summerville. [Special luir\g to the New York Times , Aug. 11.] lYince Napoleon’s experience at Manassas was not such as to create a very favorable opiuion of the rebels or their cause. Ilis opinion’ot the rebel commander he expresses as follows: 44 Gen. Beauregard has very much show, much pomp, many people ruu after him with much noise. I buve not a very high appreciation of hmi as a military tmtn, but he is very much of a gentleman. Geueral Johnson is a very quiet and unassuming man, but brave, and, I think, a tine officer. You can tell that by !:is looks; but my impression of the troops is very bad.” The New York Express, in an ai tide on the of ficial report of the battle of Manassas, remarks : The more we hear of the conduct of some of our officers and men at Bull Run, the more we are inclined to let the curtain drop on the whole af fair, and cry out with the Thane of Cawdor, “Bring in no more reports.” * * * * With disclosure of this discreditable character crowding upon us, we think the reader will sym pathize with the wish we have already expressed that Bull Run should drop as soon as possible in to oblivion. The country has heard enough of it. “Bring in no more icports.” An Awful .Spell.—\\ lien the legislative hall, at Concord, New Hampshire, was cleared of rub bish after adjournment, we learn that there was found in the desk of one of the members a letter, which closed with this injunction, “Janeses get her a 24 hoop shelling ton.” The Blockade at Loosville. — We have before us a letter dated at Nashville, Aug. 16th, from a large mercantile house, which says : * ‘‘The blockade of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad is more effectual than ever ; several of our merchants have had their goods seized and taken buck to Louisville. Our authorities are talking of prohibiting goods from cominft into the State from Kentucky—thus making that State feel the effects of the blockade as much or more than ours.— Atlanta Confederacy Tne following is from the London letter—dated 26th July—of the New York Aews : Just as I am closing I am told that the South ern Commissioners sent from here a month ago a complete battery of Armstrong, and one of the Whitworth cannon, probably tor New Orleans, and that the have actually secured the construc tion of a steel-clad steam frigate of the largest class in a port of Northern Europe. The} pay, too, it is-said in eash. This certainly looks like earnest work. Rather Close.—A Yankeee rifleman in the late j tight seeing a cannon ball bury in a bank near ; him, sprang to tbe hole it had made saying, | “Shoot away : you can’t hit twice in the same 1 place.” lusiantly another shot struck a few feet i distaut, covering the fellow with sand and gravel, j Emerging from his new quarters, he continued I the unfinished sentence,” but yon came so pesky i near it that the first bole is uncomfortable.’’ The “Benicia Boy” in an Illinois Court.— lt appears that the domestic difficulties of the Beui cia Boy are uot yet settled to the satisfaction of ail parties concerned. Wo find an official notice in the Woodstock Sentinel, of the 7th instant, directing his wife, Adah Isaacs Menken Heeuao, to appear at the October term of the court of Mc- Henry country, Illinois, to show why.the “Boy” is not entitled to a decree of divorce.” Id referring to the demand for lead in the South, the Little Rock True Democrat says there are excellent lead mines in Arkansas, some bo rich that hunters have mounted bullets directly from tbe ore. There are lead mines in the vicini ty of Little Rock capable of yielding enough lead to supply the Confederacy. Will not some en* terprioing person or persons take this matter iuto consideration and have these mines worked? Arrival of Officers. —Tbe following rre the names of tbe U. S. officers who arrived in the schr. AUaline at Femandiua, some days ago, after re signing their commissions : Cant. R. B. Garnett, Sixth U. S. Infantry. S. W. Averett, Midshipman on board the Wy oming. G. 1). Lining. 2d Assist an 4 Engineer on board the Wyoming?— Bavh. Rep., 21. A Galla .t Arkansas Youth.— Benjamin S. Johnson, sou of Robert W, Johnson, of Arkansas, wa 3 engaged in the recent cattle of Oak Hill, near Springfield, Mo., upon which occaaieo he served as volunteer aid de-camp to Gen McCulloch. Though less thaD eighteen years “f age, be behav ed with great gallantry and coolness, and bad a horse killed under him”during the action. Success of the Cotton Loan.— The Confeder ate Government, it is believed, will have in its possession by the first of September certificates of transfer to tbe amount of 1,000,000 bales of cot ton of the growing crops, for which Confederate bonds are to be exchanged. The price regulating the exchange is to be the minimum value of cot ton during the last three years. On these certifi cates of transfer it is said offers have been made by British capitalists to advance 80 per cent, in sterling exchange, taking as a basis of the pur chase the average price of cotton dur ng the past few years. The planters of Chicot, the wealthiest cotton county in the rftate of Arkansas, have determined almost to a iran, to keep their cottoD at home this fall until the blockade of the southern ports is raised. They further more declare tneir intention to 1 burn every bale of it before itshall fall foto tbe possession of the invading Liucolnites. Tbie is the right spirit, and ought to prevail throughout tbe South. The New York Herald, of Saturday, says : “Treason is rampant in Washington, and there is no denying the fact, humiUating and ungrateful as it may be to the loyal citizens of the Union.” Tbe Herald then gives an enumeration of 143 “known secessionists,” and” 76 ‘Suspected,” in tbe different departments.

Louisville, Aug *23.—Thos Steele, who fought I at Manassas, has been . Treated here, while on his return Southivard, and searched. This action was taken on the strength of a telegraphic dispatch from Frankfort, Ky., to the effect that Steele was closeted with Gov. Magoffin, of tfhis State. Kentucky politics are becoming rancoraus. Mr. Steele had only personal and family letters with him, including several to Arnold Douglas. Garnett Davis is about to visit Washington, where be will insist upon the disbanding or re moval of the enlisted troops encamped in Garrard county, Ky. The Ultra Unionists, aud the Conservative Unionists are quarreling among themselves. If the Louisville, Frankfort & Lexington Rail road permits more arms to pass over it for the Federalists, the bridges aloug the line will proba iy be burnt or destroyed. Lexington, Aug. 23. — The arrival here of the 1 guas for tfie Federalists in this State caused great ; excitement, which was increased by the arrival of j 200 Lincoln cavalry from Garrard county to escort j the guns to their camp. The Home Gaurd were ; called out but many refused to serve. Mr. Breck- j inridge was called on to allay the excitement. He | said that the first step towards peace was the ab- | sence of the cavalry; he united with his fellow ! citizens in defending this. The cavalry then j abandoned the arms, and left quietly for their camp. Louisville, Aug. 23.—1 tis reported at Cairo that the citizens of Paducah have sent to Union City for cannon.

(!) THE CRISIS IN KENTUCKY. Louisville, August 23.—The crisis in Kentucky is probably reached. Eighty armed men left here this morning, as a posse for the Collector, in a special train, to capture nine wagons loaded with Contraband on tho Rocky Fork. They left the maiu line at the Lebanon Junction, aud captured the train. At the latest advices the captured wagons were cut off, and persons interested in the adventure are said to consider the property gate. The Lebanon Brauch train did not reach the Junction, it is supposed, in consequence of the track having been destroyed. Latlr—The Collector’s posse have returned with the plunder. A printer by the name of Mc- Carty was killed by accidentally falling from the train. Only one rail was pulled up on the Leba non brauch. The plunder filled twenty-five freight cars.
