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. Among other similar notices the Richmond Dispatch of this morning contains an official ac knowledgment of one box of sundries for the sick and wounded, from Mrs. Martha Arnold, of your City. BRUTUS. From tho St. Louis Morning Herald (Extra) of Tuesday, Aug. 0, 1 o’clock, P. M. Battle in Missouri. 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. _ _ Brigjtier (ienfrjls. The following nominations for Brigadier Gen erals were sent into the Federal Senate on AN ed nesday. The dates of all the commissions aro May 17th : Col. Samuel P.

The Home Courier of the loth instant, learns from a private source, that Last Tennessee has been placed under martial law, and that Brig. Gen. Zollicoffer has command of that Division, and that in all probability Home of the other leading traitors of that section will Lo ar rested. 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. ” Star (I'nlmnbu*) Utchlit (Times. 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.

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.

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*.

What makes their j situation worse is, that all months men have gone, or nre going home, while none ure taking their places.

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.

Number 33 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.
