11 It'll MONK, Aug. 7.
Congress resumed its secret session to-day.—
Late last evening, we received intelligence from
the President which confirms tho programme of
intended military movements as givan in tny
letter of yesterday. Several steamers left For
tress Monroe for Newport News, and removed,
early in the forenoon yesterday, the troops
horses, baggage, tents, and tiring, before they
left, several of tho private dwellings, together
with their own stables, barracks and sheds. Gen.
Magruder was, doubtless, marching with his
eolutun upon the place, and a second Bcthol de
feat was anticipated by a speedy retreat. Con*
Magruder has now intested tho post within a
circle of two miles, except on tho bay trout, and
will thus control all their movements. Their
foraging, uiauruudering, negro stealing, house
burning depredations are effectually checked,
and those that know Gen. Magruder will say, if
he meditates an assault on the Fort he will take
it. That he does meditate the assault, I am
positively informed by one who ought to know.
llis first step in the programme for the capture
or reduction of the Fort has been taken. Me now
occupies Newport News poin* and Scwall’s Point,
which will compel the Federalists to keep with
in their Fort. His next movement willle watch
ed with interest.
From Manassas, we have no news beyond
that already reported. From the North-West,
Capt. 0. Jennings Wise brings some intelligence,
lie arrived hero on yesterday on hutdners with
the War Department. Mo reports his father,
with his Legion, at the White Sulphur springs,
Greenbrier county, and Men. Floyd's brigade at
the Sweet Springs, in Monroe county. This
brings the two gallant Generals within seventeen
miles of each other. The union of the two forces
can, it will be perceived, be effected whenever it
becouv necessary. The greatest confidence and
reanitnalion have succeeded the apprehensions
and doubts which pervaded our gallant little hand
of heroes whin 3,5t0 strong, they yielded undis
puted po-.v.-sMon of Charleston to 25,000 Hes
sians.
In your paper of August 2d, you copy a letter
from the Charleston Mercury, in which it is
stated that “President Davis said, when he re
turned from Manassas Junction, our army would
be in Alexandria in a day or two. We have not
yet heard of its being there.” This does unin
tentional injustice to President Davis, as inti
mating a want of entire co-operation between birn
and his Generals or an uncertainly, which is
anything but military, in the plan of our opera
tions. I know not what President Davis may
have said to the writer of the article in the col
umns of the Mercury, but 1 do know what he
‘'aid toothers when he returned from Manassas.
It was - “If Men. Beauregard hud the necessary
means of transportation (moaning horses,) be
would he in Alexandria on Thursday night”—two
days after the battle. All these means are now
abundantly supplied, and when tho necessary
preparations for the extensive and rapid move
ments in contemplation are completed, he will be
iu Alexandria as well as Washington.
No military or general news to-day, beyond
what I have given.

Dispatch of this morning contains an official ac
knowledgment of one box of sundries for the sick

Federal* Defeated —Lyon Surrendered —Fright*
fnl Slaughter -Their Troop* Disaffected.
Mr. A. 11. Evans, a well known and highly rc
spec table citizen of fc>L Louis, returned from a
place ten miles this side of Springfield, Mo., this
morning, and gives us the following informa
tion :
On the morning of last Saturday, he heard the
most terrible dieebargeof cannon towards Spring
field. Tho earth fairly shook with the inces
sant report. He became very much ulartacJ,
uot knowing what it meant, and commenced ma
king preparation to escape home.
In tho course of the morning, the fireiug hav
ing continued nearly ail night, messengers com
menced arriving and giving information. They
said that the State forces bad attacked Gen.
Lyon, and after n most terrific battle, in which
there was great slaughter on both sides—that
Gen. Lyon and Gen. Seiglo bad been defeated
and had surrendered.
The forces on tho side of the State troops num
bered about 15,000, and the Federal forces about
7,000. Tho Stale troops had some twenty pieces
of artillery, and the Federal forces twenty seven
pieces of heavy artillery.
Gen. Lyon has been sending dispatches for aid
tor several day.*, but Gen. Fremont has failed to
furnish him with a sufficient force to meet the
.State forces. _ _

A Spicbv Kktobt to Mu. Clay.—Gore’* Liv
erpool Commercial Advertiser has a spicy edi
torial in reply to Cassius M. Clay's letter to the
London Times upon the subject of American af
fairs. It concludes as follows:
Great Britain is the best conservator of her
own honor, the best judge of her interest, and
thut as she now right loyally snlutes the stars
and stripes, ho she reserves the right to salute
the Palmetto, should the children of the South
succeed,in retaining the independent position
which they have assumed, in forming themselves
in anew 1 -nlon of Confederate States. We have
to deal not only with the political, hut with the
commercial bearing of the quarrel; and were
not a certain line of policy forced upon us by our
honor, in opposition to our interest, in the mere
commercial sense of the word, we would imme
diately dispatch a fleet which would effectually
open to our commercial navy every harbor of
the South. _ __
When tub “Blow” is to b* Stuck.—A
Northern paper says:
Gen. McClellan has now command of all tho
forces in and around the old District of Columbia.
In less than ten days we will have here a fully
equipped and determined army of 170,000 men.
About the fir.-t ol September next a blow is to be
struck. ”

Northkrn Traitors.—Mr. Cox, a sporting
metnbor of the Rump Congress, offered, in the
Ilouso of Representatives, a few days since, tho
following resolutions for the promotion of cowar
dice nnd tho encouragement of fast trotters in
the army of Lincoln :
“Resolved, That we acknowledge the faithful
service* and loyal dovoticn of our soldiers who
have fought aud fulleu in defending our ilagand
in vindicating tho supremacy and majesty of the
Republic, whether successful, or compelled by
the overwhelming numbers of tho enemy to re
sign a victory already won.
“Their graves aro honored, and history inve.-ts
their names with unfailing renown; and while
the National Legislature expresses tho sympa
thy of the nation for their bereaved families and
friends, we commend to a generous people and
to the army, which is now’ eager to renew ho
conflict, tho imperishable honor of their ex
ample.”
All this means nothing more nor less than
that the Yankees are grateful to the forty thou
sand fast trotters who fled with such unprece
dented celerity from Bull Run Their uucx
auipled moderation in “resigning a victory al
ready w--n,” and in flying from Ibv cone f their
glory, like a herd of frightened antelopes from
a hungry lion, has filled the North with admi
ration.

Our Telegraphic Dispatches.
It is a matter of great annoyance to us, uslt
is to our readers, llmt our telegraphic dispatch
es contain so little that is either important or
reliable. We mnko nn exception iu this re
mark in favor of those we receive by the South
ern ljue front Mr. Frit© hard. The intelligence
which he sends us we nre perfectly willing to
vouch for j but ns he, ns well as all others, is
prohibited (and very properly too,) from com
municating information touching our military
plans or movements, we cannot expect to re
ceive from him anything of very great interest
until some grand result is reached.
Iu reference, however, to the volume of trash
which we receive by the western lino, we think
there is sullicieut ground for complaint Iu mn
king up these dispatches, infinite industry, but
not a particle of discrimination is exhibited.—
No belter authority lor them seems to be de
ninudcd than the atutcnicut of a reliable gentle
mail, whose übiquity and mendacity are equal
ly remarkable. When anything happens to be
true, it is generally a very trivial occurrence,
of which the most minute ami ustdessdelnils are
given. These dispatches are becoming a nui
sauce to the pressand the country. Their gen
era), if not uniform unreliability, is fast bring
ing discredit upon all intelligence received by

Gicuaionh, Aug. V.
The (-onlederate Congress met this mnrniii;’ 1
ni II o’clock, and went into secret session
Vice-President Stephens in the Chair.
Mnnnssus nnd the Potomac nre quiet up i-> ■
late despatches. Fair lax Court House is thor
oughly Jbrtilied, audit is believed the main nr
my will soon move thither, the reservo remain
ing at Manassas.
The report whicli'i eachedjiere by telegraph
mid by the Lynchburg papers,that Nelson, the
Tennessee traitor, was arrested somewhere in
the mountains was not generally credited in
Richmond, nud il is yet doubted, liu was ar
rested in Lee County, Virginia, with nn escort
of three or four men, and was at once conduc
ted to Abingdon, Va., where ho is now under
guard. He says lie wns making his way to
Washington, but il is generally believed, espe
cially as Congress would have adjourned bi
lore lie could reach that city, that ho wa? en
gaged in a dangerous conspiracy, planned in |
Washington, tho object of which is to effect a !
union between the traitors iii Fautern Ken j
lucky and Eastern Tonuesseo. It the proof j
• an he hod, Nelson will certainly swiifrf.
Our reinforcements to the gallant little army j
j of the North-West have frightened Cox and j
Rosencruntz out of their wit*. They have sent j
expresses to Washington for reinforcements, !
and were informedby McClellan that at pres- ;
©lit, he cotild not send any. What makes their j
situation worse is, that all months
men have gone, or nre going home, while none
ure taking their places.
Governor Jjown, of Maryland, now here I -r
some weeks, proposes tlio easiest mode of dis- I
posing of North-Western Virginia. III? plan
submitted to President Davis, is to keep a sulfi - j
©lent force in that region to prevent thoir ad- ;
vanee—-throw the main strength ofihe Confed- !
©rate army into NVusliington, or across the Po
tomac into Maryland; expel (lie lle?Miaiis from
that State; give bar true sous a chalice to unite
their fortunes nnd that ol their State with ifi©
Southern Confederacy, and Maryland will *
take care of North Western Virginia. She !
- an do so from her geographical position iiim li
more effectually than it can be done from any
other point.
Governor Lowe, with other., aro now form
ing a Maryland Brigade, to be composed ol the
Maryland I’egiuiontH now in the field and such
new companies as they may be able to form.
lion. Martin J. Crawford, of Georgia, ap
peared in his sent to day, nnd was, in a few
moments, surrounded by hosts r.f* friends. I
never saw him look better. His reeent labor*
an<J eminent semens in his Congressional Dis
trict, in behalf of our beloved Confederacy, will
not constitute the least of his claims upon th©
gratitude of the whole country, and will tank
him among the distinguished, practical, work
ing statesmen of his native Statu. Men like
Martin J. Crawford shrink from the praise to
which their patriotic services entitle them
hut a grateful people will uot the lies hold them
in faithful remembrance.
Lyon* has officially notified Mr. Sew
ard thut he has received a report from the Brit
ish Admiral at Charleston, to the effect that the
blockado of that port was not nn effectual
blockade,’und that he would break it. Mr
Heward declared that it was effectual, and it
broken, it must boat the price of Great Britain
This rumor, I have learned, is well founded
The times are beginning to brighten, notwith
standing tho $400,(MX),000 and the 400,000 men*
in buckram nnd pnrebmeut.
There is no news of any kind afloat to-day.
BRUTUS.
Our Vvl Governor.
Mksmuh. Editors : For years past I havo ta
kes very little interest in political uflairs, for the
single reason that I was thoroughly convinced
tho people had very little voice in thu selection of
their public servants. True, thuy were ullowod
to vote, but this was about all. Political traders
and trickster* did all Iho bnlitnes. Legislators
anil Senator*, Governors nnd Presidents were
already fixed up to their hand by conclavos and
caucuses of professional politicians, and, treaaon
to the party was tbo inevitable reproach of all
who declined to fall into line und ratify the dic
tates of thene self-appointed guardians of the
public weal. But the times have changed. This
foul game, w sincerely trust, has been played
out, and even though a ihttkh experience bar
brought us to our senses, it is much to be hoped
that the lesson of wisdom learned, will he a just
reward for tho heavy price at which it is pur
chased. NVc ure no longer under the dominion of
a wicked party spirit. Thauk God for our de
liverance from it. I. tus now bo wise and koop
oursolves übovo its poisonous influence in tho
time t como, and lmw can wo hotter do this
than by beginning at once to throw off all old
party hacks, all little parly men, nnd taking up
for place and position those who have proven
themselves, oven in tho evil day, too pure, too
honest, too conservative to ho led away by the
long prevailing disorder.
Among the many names suggested for the
office of Governor of Georgia, l see but one
name that has never been charged with the ro
pr.mcli of patti:unship, thnt has not been more
or I©.?* infected with a zeal Ibr party triumph,
and party power. This name is that of Col.
Jamks M. I’ham hi: ns, of your own county, and
1 *\ui assure you that many besiJe* myself,
ii way hero in the back woods, rejoiced to see
that nnine favorably mentioned. It gives us*
hope of “the good time coming.'’ A gentleman,
a scholar, a patriot and a Christian, whose life
has been devoted to th© great agricultural in
tcre.'lsofthu country, no less than to the inter
ests of education, nnd of religion. Wo should
urely hail it us an omen for good, if lie could
receive the hearty endorsement of the nomina
ting Convention, and a vote of the people nl
iiuh't unanimous. No man who Inis been fa
\orc-1 us has the writer, with a long and thor
ough acquaintance with Col. C.> will hesitate
to give liiin a cordial support. Ho is the very
man tor the times aud the place. ll© has nil
tin* elements ot character that any could desire,
mid an administrative genius possessed by very
lew men iii the El ite. There is about him a
‘•tuck of good sense, practical wisdom, business
talents, that make, him the very life and soul of
the society iu which he moves ; nnd withal nn
unassuming manner and refinement of feeling
that command the admiration of all who nre
about him. Give us such a man for Governor
in these trying times, nnd we shall not fear for
the honor, prosperity, dignity and power of
< Jeorgia, in the midst ofany trial through which
?he may have to pass.

Lincoln ami Scott.
The Washington Republican charges thut Mr.
Richardson, of 111., oppressed part of the con
versation which ho hoard between Lincoln nnd
Gon. Scott, ami tlio substanco of which ho re
peated in tiio House. It says :
Mr. Richardson, who had witnessed tho action
at Bull Run of July IS, and who had examined
the enemy's position with a military eye, was so
profoundly impressed with tlio hazard* of a sec
ond attack, pro- edod by groat preparations invol
ving lime that ho felt, it to ho his duty to present
his views personally to tho President, either on
Friday or Saturday proceeding the battle of .July
21. lie oannot have forgotten tho reply ho re
ceived from tho President; and, if lie has for
gotten it, othors have not, to whom lie has repor
ted il.
Tho reply was in substance, that the President
must have it to den. Scott to determine, the time
ami place of giving battle. t<> the enemy.
Th© President we believe, has held no other
language, from fir.-t to last or upon any occa
sion.
It has flomotini© been doubted whether “there
is such a thing iih a fact in the world;” hut, if
there is one, established beyond all possibility of
controversy, it is this one, that Gen. Scott was
not hurried a single day, by tho President, into
the action of July 21.
Iloalh of Mr. Spooner.
It is with sincere regret thut wo record the
death of Mr. J. Spooner, lor ninny years past
the faithful and agent of the Adams
Express, in tins city. The circumstances at
tending his demise render the event still more
aflective t-> his friend?. The telegraph announ
ce* thnt he hiingliiumdf in his room at the Bur
nett Mouse, in Cineinunli, on Saturday last.
We have no particulars of the sad affair, ex
cept that he-was on his way t-> Georgia from
the North with a number of private letters nnd
packages, and arriving in Cincinnati, lie was
arrested and taken into custody by the Black
Republican Vigilance (,'oinmitiec of that place.
He was suffering at the time, too, from a dis
tressing attack of dyspepsia, which, combined
with the unhappy, if not perilous, position in
which he was placed, doubtless induced him to
lake his own life.
Mr. Spooner was among the most efficient
and accommodating officer* of hi* Compilin',
ulways ready to do a favor, and in fact seemed
to consider it a privilege. The press of this
city owe him nn accumulated debt of gratitude,
nnd there i? not one connected with it that will
not sincerely lament his untimely end.— Sar.

which could deter them from doing it are the im

with a foreign diplomat, who told tue confiden

Tlie Blockade,
l)ur di.putche, yesterday from Louisville in
form us thnt the subject of the blockade had
undergone revision nnd modification by the
Northern Government, and that bagging and
rope, fabrics, provisions nnd sinnll stores would
‘■© allowed to pass. The reason for this relax
ation i* quite apparent. The West is tired of
holding corn at eight cents n bushel, and bacon
it six conts a pound, while those articles com
mand in the Confederate States, respectively
<>ne dollar per bushel nnd eighteen cents per
pound.
Boston ami New York, too, exhibit no very
surprising restiveuess at being compelled to
bold on to their bagging and rope, which were
purchased for tho Southern trade, nnd these,
together with their European and Northern
fabrics, they aro willing to exchange
rrn money. This spirit of accommodation might
i-licil admiration and encouragement under
some circumstances, but, as things are, we
think the Government ofthe Confederate Slates
should step in and say, “no, 1 thank you.” We
have demonstrated our capacity to get along
without the assistance of these gentlemen , and
not n dollar’s worth of their provisions or mer
chandise should be suffered to come into the
Confederate States. The direct tux which the
Lincoln Congress has levied upon the Novtli
has caused this shaking among the dry bones,
and, whatever inconvenience ilinay indict up
on us, it is our manifest policy not toiuterposu
between the tax gatherer und Ins abolition vic
tims. Buy nothing from our enemies should
be our motto.
