The evident design of the Breckinridge
party in carrying out their scheme at Charles
ton was the ultimate dissolution of the Union.
In the iall of the Democratic party, the North
ern Democratic sentiment was divided—the
South was politically estranged, and the issue
which was threatened as the result of Mr. Lin
coln’s election was precipitated upon the
country. That issue by their own wicked in
trigues involved civil war. The election of
the President was nothing more than the pre
text for the consummation of a long matured
scheme, springing from the brain of John C.
Calhoun, and the friends ofMr. BeeokinridQK
in the last election were the mere agents of a
deep and dark conspiracy. They exesnted the
duties of their agency until the close of Mr.
Buchanan's Administration. They in the
North insisted upon humiliating concessions
to the Sonth, and clamored for a most disgrace
ful surrender of our national honor. They
encouraged Mr. Buchanan in his weak and
timid policy, and as State after State seceded
from the Union, they attempted to lull the na
tion into a false sense of security. They talked
of the wrongs of the South, and prepared com*
promises while the South talked treason and
prepared batteries at Pensacola and Port Moul
trie. The outrage at Fort Sumpter silenced
but did not subdue them. The smoke of that
bombardment has passed away and the country
is resuming its wonted calmness, while the
men who previous to It were anxious to de
grade the nation are again before the country
with the same motive. The means have only
been changed. Then their cry was compro
mise ; now their cry is peace.
Senator Breckinridge having been repudi
ated by his own State, is now talking Disunion
in other States. And the friends of Mr*
Breckinridge are busily endeavoring to
manßfactnre public sentiment for him, and the
canse he represents. They rally under tbo
flag of Disunion, and fraternise with the
enemies of the Union. They are as deaf and
blind to the wrongs and forbearance of the
North, as they are deaf and blind to the
treachery and cruelty of the South. They
base their course upon the “ usurpations of
Mr. Lincolh,” bnt say nothing of the usurpa
tions ot a great conspiracy. Mr. Lincoln sus
pends the habeas corpus, imprisons traitorous
and seditious persons, defends the capita), and
endeavors to execute his great and solemn
Oath, and he is denounced as A military tyrant
and a usurper. Jefferson Davis steals our
forts and arsenals, sends pirates out on the
sea, builds batteries upon the Mississippi, and
equips an immense army for the purpose of
waging upon us an offensive war, and yet not
one word is said of his usurpations, and in
stead of tyranny he 1 is complimented for his
forbearance and long-suffering. According to
their argument the Sonth is a teartu ly injured
and oppressed community, while the North is
its malignant and implacable foe. They call
this a « Black Republican war,” and almost in
the same voice they complain oi the want of
conrage on the port ot Republicans, and say
that Democrats only are fighting it. Tbey
show on every occasion the utmost contempt
for oar flag, and exemplify it by affiliating with
those insurgents wbo b&ve endeavored to dis
grace it. All their actions point to one pur
pose, and that purpose is the dissolution of the
Union.
'Flu* At* sftlflßh and ambitions man. And
ever; selfish and ambitious reason prompts
them to attempt a dissolution of the Confede
racy. In a regenerated Republic they hare no
future. The hour which witnesses the resto
ration ot Federal power witnesses their down
fall finally and lorever. They have only lived
by the nistenee of a dishonest, disloyal, and
Disunion sentiment. That sentiment has pre
vailed in the legislature tor the last quarter
of a century. It went into our political con
ventions, and into the feelings ef the people.
It lived by a constant system of intimidation
and , bravado. It was sustained by the patro
nage of several successive Administrations.
It was fostered by the social leeling which the
. peculiar institutions ot the South engender.
It was strengthened and emboldened by the
submission and acquiescence ot the North, or
rather by the submission and acquiescence of
those men in the North who are now promi
nent in the movement for peace. This war
has ended all that, and the only hope which
the cringing and time-serving politicians have
is iu the erection of a peace party, the ces
sation of the war, and the dissolution of the
Union on such terms as will humiliate and
cripple the North, and give to those who have
been heretofore controlling it a new and per
haps a permanent lease of power. Hence
their intrigues and disloyal machinations.
On the framework of the old Breckinridge
organization, this Peace party is being built.
There is the same timber in the rsifters, the
same handicraft, the same furniture and house
hold appointments. With a few individual
and isolated exceptions, this Is the truth
throughout the whole North. Wherever we
flad an earnest peao.- man, we know he was a
supporter of the Ex-Vice President. The
newspapers who labored for his success, now
labor tor the success of his principles. Here,
in Pennsylvania, the issue is becoming closely
and clearly defined, and it only wants some
sneb eminent and retiring statesman as Ur.
W*. B Rued, to como from his bookß and his
solitude, and give it the influence oi his expe
rience and sympathy. We find in the edito
rial department such newspaper-men as San
derson of the Lancaster Intelligencer, Acker
of the Norristown Register, Honasou of the
West Chester Jeffersonian, McDowell of the
Harrisburg Patriot and Union, Getz of the
Beading Gazette, Niemann ot the Easton
Sentinel, and others. All these journalists
were ardently in favor of Mr. Breckinridge,
and obsequious supporters of Ur. Buchanan.
They are now all as ardently in favor of peace,
and as obsequious to the rebellious South.
In the gallant county of Berks, the sentiment
of sympathy with Disunion is being openly
manifested. Mr. Anoona, Its Congressional
representative, whose vote for Vallahdighan,
as Speaker, sent a thrill of shame through
Pennsylvania, has been endorsed by a small
clique of politicians at a recent public meet
ing. When we say that prominent in that
meetiog was J. Lawrence Getz, its character
will be understood without explanation. It
becomes the people of Berks to ntsent the
insult thus fixed upon them, and to censure
the disloyal coarse oi Mr. Ancona.
In other States the same thing holds true.
In New Jersey Naar and his newspaper tribe
are as bitterly denouncing the war as they did
the lamented Douglas. In New York Ben
Wood neglects his lotteiy business to calum
niate the North, and to denounce every friend
of the Union in the Nonh. The Albany At
las and, Argus is rapidly drifting into the same
stream. Deah Richmond and his Albany lob
by, who have made legislative jobbing a pro
fession, and have given the New York Legis
lature a proverb of odium, intrigue with the
friends of peace, and put planks in their plat
forms abont purity of government. The Port
land Argus in Maine, the Hartford Times and
New Haven Register in Connecticut, all show
their old Breckinridge affinities, and, after
giving a Very weak and temporizing support
to the war measnres of the Administration,
now give a warm and sincere support to the
enemies oi those measnres.
It is now shown more conclusively than it
has ever been shown before, that the heart of
the Democratic masses palpitated for Stephen
A. Docolas, and among the most gratifying
recollections of the great deceased is the fact
that he was warmly and unalterably for the
Union and the most stringent means to pro-
servo it. Thousands who voted for tbe Fu
sion ticket in ibis State, from attachment to
pariy traditions and party organizations, will
now see the error they committed. And
especially will they see it when they see tbe
leaders of the Breckinridge element strike
hands with the enemies ot the nation. In this
war, the Democratic masses occupy a proud
and patriotic position. In its management,
the friends of Douglas are active and unpre
tending. MoClilian was a warm friend of
Douglas, and would have preferred him
for the Presidency. It becomes the friends
ot Douglas te carry their patriotism further.
It becomes them to see to it that, in the
management of the coming political can
vass, they are not caj tied or entrapped into
an alliance with the Disunion sympathizers
who have controlled the Democratic organiza
tion and seek to continue its masters. No
friend oi Douglas can ever be trne to him
self and to the memory ol his great leader
and join with those who have slaughtered him
fa cold blood, ffe speak to the honest, the
patriotic Democracy, when we say that they
can show their honesty and patriotism by
placing themselves upon the platform of the
Union, and by making confidence in the Ad
ministration and a support of its war measures
a test ot fealty and fellowship. It must be
done. If the Administration falls, the Union
falls with it; and, as wt value the Union, we
must support the Administration. Not blindly,
not as slaves, but with freedom, frankness,
and independence—censuring it when wrong,
and defending it when right. This is the issue
which every man must meet, and whoever
falters or plays falsely Is a traitor. We speak
plain language, for the honr demands plain
ness of speech. While our brave and gallant
men are dying abroad, there mnst be no con
spiracy at home. We must sustain those
good and gallant men by a united and over
whelming pnblic sentiment. We must show
them that the applause of millions follows
the snccess of their arms, that the sympathy
of millions attends them in disaster, that the
tears of millions fall upon their honorable
graves. While they crush treason m the fitld,
we must crush treason at the ballot-box.
The Result of the War.
While it would be a grave error to underrate
the numbers and resources of the enemies of
tbe Union, it is perfectly plain that, by proper
exertions, they can be overthrown, and that
there is no good reason why any loyal citizen
should be discouraged or disheartened in re
gard to the final result of the war. It is true that,
if we blindly trust to onr numerical, financial,
mechanical, commercial, and naval superiority,
without rendering our advantages available,
they will prove of little military value. But the
disaster at Bali Run has, fortunately, aroused
us to a sense of tbe importance ot not only
making a formidable demonstration, hut ot
exerting a very large proportion of our power
—of entering npon the campaign ia an ear
nest and resolute spirit, determined not only
to do well, but to do our best—and to call into
vigorous action the latent energies and capa
cities which we undoubtedly possess.
It is said by some, that republican institu
tions are now on trial in America, and this is,
perhaps, strictly true. The failure of our ex
pariment may consign the whole human race
for centuries to come to the tender mercieß of
despotic dynasties or oppressive aristocracies.
But, however this may be, it is certain that
the loyal portion of this Union, which con
tains nearly three-fonrtbs of the white popu
lation of onr country, is on trial, and, by
its conduct in the present tryiDg emergency,
will its rank and position be measured by ail
civilized nations of tbe present era and by
posterity. A failure to suppress the insurrec
tion involves not only the destruction of tbe
Union, hot onr humiliation. It would be a
virtual confession of weakness that would be
a perpetual invitation to martial nations te
inmilt.to bully, to annoy, and to attack ns.
Nothing make 9 a country sink more rapidly in
the scale of nations than a failure to quell a
domestic insurrection.
If, oy any misfortune to our arms, unexpect
ed snccess of the rebels, or tailnre on our part
to vigorously prosecute tbe war, our present
straggle should be unsuccessful, we should not
only have upon-onr immediate border a baugh
ty and insolent foe, flushed with triumph, rea
dy to make a continued scries of arrogant de
mands upon us, and to harass our frontier,
bat the nations of Europe would regard ns with
mingled pity and contempt, aDd deny us, on
frivolons pretexts, eur plainest rights, because
they would believe we could not enforce
them.
in this contest, therefore, _we are fighting
for everything-that should be dear to the
heart of an American patriot. We fight to
punish the infamous traitors who instigated
an unjustifiable revolt, plundered the national
treasury, insulted the national fl.*g, and who
seek to degrade and destroy forever onr glo '
rious country. We light to secure lor Ameri
can citizens that protection, upon every toot
of American soil, to which they are entitled
by the Constitution and laws of our coun-
try, and to destroy the terrible reign of
terror under which millions of property
have been confiscated, thousands of in
nocent men cruelly persecuted and killed,
and the waist of crimes sanctioned and almost
deified, while the highest political virtues
have elicited punishment more terrible than
that which awaits the meanest and most dan
gerous felon. Wo are fighting to wipe away
all vestiges of discredit cast upon the valor,
energy, will, and power of the loyal citizens
of our country at Manassas, by a combination
Of unfortunate circumstances. We are fight
ing to secure for ourselres and our posterity
the inestimable blessings of republican
freedom ; to enforce the decisions ol what
should be to every true believer in re
publican institutions a sacred tribunal—
the ballot-box—and to establish upon our
shores more widely, more deeply, and more
firmly than ever, the free and noble form of
government that onr ancestors transmitted to
us as a priceless legacy. We are fighting, not
only to accomplish all these objects, bnt to
secure our homes and firesides from invasion
by the savage hordes whose leaders constantly
seek to excite their cupidity and all their baser
passions by vain boasts that they will have an
opportunity to sack and pillage the rich cities
of the North; and we are striving to teach,
now and forever, the domestic and foreign foes
of the Republic, that the hardy freemen of
this nation, despite a few disasters and blnn
dors at the outset of the campaign, can be
come as terrible and destructive in war aB
they are industrious and orderly in of
peace.
With these incentives, it seems impossible,
however protracted or painful may be the
contest, that we should fail to achieve a com
plete success. The Richmond Enquirer, in
referring to the recent recommendation of
the Rebel Secretary of War, L. P. Walked,
of an addition to the insurgent army of three
hundred and fifty regiments—making, in addi
tion to the present force, an aggregate of five
hundred and sixty regiments, or five hundred
and sixty thousand men, rank and file—re
marks that the « white population of the Con
federate States being, in round numbers,
6,600,000 souls, the proposed army would
amount to juat tea per cent, of tho Whole,
or one Soldier to every ton white persons."
It is utterly impossible for onr enemies to
maintain in the field, for any length of time, a
force of the size here indicated; bnt if they
should do so, we cau raise an army of two mil
R° n bf lacs—our white population being abont
four times as great as that of our adversaries!
It would, of course, be as unnecessary as it is
undesirable to attempt any considerable in
crease ol onr army beyond ihat which has
already been authorized by Congress, aud we
only revert to these figures to show our im
mense numerical superiority over the insur
gents. In all the other elements of military
strength onr predominance is equally great,
and while they are already feeling most se
riously the lack of arms, ammunition, and
clothing, our capacity for manmacturing and
ability to pare base every article that is needed
tt> secure the efficiency oi our army, are al
most unlimited.
The issue of this contest, therefore, clearly
and unmistakably devolves upon ourselves.
In our hands rest the destinies of this conti
nent. if wo can jn the struggle, it will not be
on account ot the strength or the exertions of
our foes, but on account of our inattention,
negligence, ot inefficiency in the management
ot the resonrceß with which we have been
gifted, or the unwillingness of onr citizens to
place them at the disposal ot our Govern
ment. All the present indications lead ns to
believe that neither of these contingencies
can or will occur; and if they do not, onr
power to overthrow the insurgents la unques
tionable.
Edwin James.
It is stated that Mr. Edwin James, the popu
lar and successful rather than eminent London
barrister, arrived in New York, by the Fulton,
with the purpose ot being admitted to legal
practice in that city. Overwhelmed with
debts, chiefly from dealings with the sixty per
cent, per annum bill-discounters of London,
Mr. James bad to give np his seat in Parlia
ment, with the prospects of professional pro
motion accompanying it, and 1 to retire from
practice, pending negotiations with his credi
tors. Bere iB a man whose income was trom
$50,000 to $lOO,OOO a year, with his future so
much pledged to his exacting creditors, that
all they allowed him was from $5 000 to $6 000
a year. They declined the proposals he made
for gradnall.v liquidating his liabilities, where
npon he retired to Franco, where, having no
thing else to do, he has married a rich widow,
who has wisely had her lortune settled on her
self, out of the reach of her husband or his
creditors. Up to their departure, “the happy
couple ’’ were spending the Honey-moon at
Fbasoati’s Hotel, Havre.
In his absence, however, tbe Benchers of
tbe Inner Temple, of which Inn of Court
Ur. James is a member, have been trying
him, on some charges oi malpractice. In
bis absence, too, they have disbarred him,
which prevents his ever again practising in
any British Court ot Law. Considering, too,
that Mr. James is a Queen’s Counsel, it must
be admitted that the Benchers have indulged
in sharp practice against him. The great suc
cess of Mr. James, as an advocate—he knows
little of law— may have caused no small jeal
ousy among seniois at the bar who carry at
tenuated brief-bags. Mr. James, as might be
expected, iB not going to sit down contentedly
under the ban of condemnation thns put upon
him. From the judgment of the Benchers he
has formally appealed to the justice of the
jadges of the land. We take leave to say that
Mr. James’s chances of success at the New
York bar would be very few. His style, which
was novel in England, is in familiar use in the
New York courts, and his ignorance of law
would give him no chance when opposed to
such men as James T. Brady and Charlet
O’Conor, Judge Whiting or Recorder Bar
nard. By their side, “ he’s not the man for
Galway.”
Pickings from Punch.
Punch, which has fought very shy or alhr
siong, by pen or pencil, to the doings and mis
doings in the. United States, has ventured
upon a joke—and that a very bad one—which
is as follows:
Yankbb-Linebs ahdPbnnt-a Liners —We re
ceive each extraordinary bombastic statements
from America, reepeeting the elvil war, that w*
think a new line of steamers ought to be specially
appointed to bring them over ? Instead of Canard’s,
way establish for the oooasion a fast-going line of
Canards ?
After reading the above, one is tempted to
inquire, with Lord Dubdrbakt, “Where’s
Botnet 7”
Punch is not much more successful with
subjects nearer home. He was expected to
make merry upon the elevation of Lord John
Russell to an Earldom, and addresses six
eight-line stanzas to “John Russell, Earl
Ludlow,” —whereas, the little fellow’s title is
Earl Russell. The gist of these lines is that
Lord John will find tne Upper House rather
slow. A cartoon is better. It depicts Punch
holding a tearfnl farewell to Lord John, who,
nearly lost in the heavy robes and big coronet
of an Earl, is creeping into the House of
Lords, of which Brougham, coronet on head,
sits as janitor, pipe in mouth and newspaper
on lap, sadly saying, “Eh, Johnny! ye’ll find
it mighty dull here.”

Special Despatches to ” The Press.’ 1
Washington, August 12 1811
The English Fleet and the Blockade.
The alleged soml-cffioial annonnesmant in the
Riohmond papers, that Admiral Dundis intends to
take his fleet into Charleston rogardless of President
Lincoln’s blockade, is of no possible slgnifioanoe
even if the statement is true, for the war vessels of
any nation with whioh ws are at peaoe have a
right to enter onr ports notwithstanding the block
ade, whioh is intended to operate against oom
meroo with the disloyalists.
A nnmber of the most distinguished army offi
cers of Europe, and particularly in Ragland and
France, have tendered their services to the United
Stales, bnt it is not known that any of them will be
aooepted. One of them in his letter says that he
regards the oontest as between civilisation and bar
barism, and his love for the former controls his ac*
tlons.
There is good authority for saying that there is
no trath in a reoently reported Conversation be
tween Lord Ltons and Beoretary Seward on tbe
matter of sending a speoial messenger to England
with an acoount of the Ball Raa battle. Whatever
Lord Lyons may have transmitted on that subjaet
was through thA ordinary channels.
Arrest of Fx-Minister Faulkner.
The arrest of Charles J. Faulkner, ex minis
ter to France, was effected to day by a detaoh
ment of the Provost Gnard, who for that purpose
repaired to his hotel. He was oonvayed to the jail
under orders from tha military authorities through
the War Department. He is not permitted to hold
correspondence or conversation with any of bis
friends at present. As to the specifla oharges m -
der whioh he is held, tbey are, so far as the public
is oonoonied, mere matters of speculation, but
something has beea said about his having a com
mission as a brigadier general in the rebel army.
A formal examination into the oase will, however,
soon take plaoe. Shortly after his arrest he re
marked that he was not aware of having done any
thing to justify these proceedings, and but for
them he would have had his aooonnts settled to
day at the State Department, which he had visited
the day after his arrival in Washington on that
business, as well as to call on Secretary Seward
in acoordanoe with the courtesy governing minis
ters returning from abroad.
The Privateer York.
Gommandor Gqldsbubo, of tbo stoamor Union,

teresting fads concerning the complete destruc

miles northeast oi Capa Hatteras. He has
placed a prise crew on bosrd and brought her to

A Dead-Letter Robber Detected.
The Rsv. T. Fibre, a Universalist praaeher,
editor, Ao , formerly of yonr eity, has for some
time past he>d a good position in tha dead-letter
department of the Post Office here. By his folly he
has fatten. For some time past the meagre re
turns he was mi king cansed snspioion. On Friday
morning last, before the reverend gentleman had
commenced his work, a oonple of letters containing
marked notes and specie were pnt Into his pile. In
the afternoon, as nsoal, he stated to the ohief of
tha office that he had ne rotnrns to make, and he
was at onoe arrested by an officer who was present.
He was searched, and the marked money fonnd on
his person. In the drawer of his desk a namber
of lieentions books wbtoh fitly oorrespondad with

daughter, who Boon heard of his arrest, the legal
proceedings against him were dropped, and ha was
dismissed from offioe.

Colonel Latboe. of the New York Horse Artil
lery, whose regiment is now at Camp Lew, New
York, arrived bere this morning, and will leave
this afternoon, having reoeivad from the War Da
pariment an order for immediately mustering in
his regiment. Be speaks in the highest terms of
the facilities furnished by Mr Lasuar, ohiaf clerk
of that Department, and the promptness of Major
General McClillae, General Sanford, and Ad
jutant General Thomas, as wall as the Secretary
and Assistant Secretary of War, in tha transaction
of his business. He had time, also, to call on the
Secretary of State.
Colonel Latsov is entrusted with the duty, in
oonutotlon with the quartermaster at New York,
of collecting and forwarding to their respective
regiments, here and elsewhere, those whose time
of furlough has expired, and others who are absent
from other oauses

Massashnsetts, Cel Charles Devon, have arrived
In the oity, numbering together 2 900 offioers and
men. They all arrive in very fine oendition, and
fully armed and equipped. One of file Massachu
setts regiments brings 130 horses, and 43 wagons;
the other, 115 hones, and 25 commissariat wagons,
5 ambulances, and 2 hospital wagons.

largest number and finest horses that oome to
Washington.
The War Department most earnestly desires that
quartermasters would eome on one train ahead of
their regiments, and thus have time to make their
requisitions before the men arrive. By this sys
tem, there would, be no delay when troops arrive
hungry and in need of rest. This matter la also
urged by tho Sanitary Committee, as being eondu
oive to the comfort of the men and general health
of the army Much suffering has been experienced
by men who, on arriving here, have had to wait
ten or twelve hours for their first meal.

Sandy Hook, Md , Ang. 12 —The New York
Nineteenth V ilunteers is n> w commanded by Maj
Lsdlie, Col. Clark still balng under arrest, and
L’sut Col. Ssward haring obtained leave of ab
sence on aooonnt of slokness.
This regiment keeps watoh an both sides of the
Potomso from Sandy Hook to Barilo. Last Wed
nesday news reaobod Major Ledlie that a force of
upwards of one hundred rsbei aavalry were at Lo
vettsvilln, Loudoun county, where they were press
ing and oppressing the Union inhabitants. De
tsohments amounting to one hundred men, nnder
command of Captain Kennedy, ofoempany B, ac
companied by Captain Stevens, of company F, and
SuTgeou T. Durcon, oroisea the river at the Rock
Ferry at one o’olook on Thursday morning, and
after a difficult march of seven miles reashed Lo
vettsvilie about daylight. Ascertaining that the
rebels had left, they retraced their note two mites
towards the river, in hopes that the rebels would
follow them as soon as tha latter discovered the
weakness of Captain Kennedy’s foroe.
Here, with the Union men, they fotmed an am
bush, where they laid concealed until 2 o’olock P
M , when, ascertaining that the rebels had not re
tamed, they continued on their return. When
about three mites from the river they were over
taken by a boy with the Information that ISO ol
Btewart’s rebel oavalry had reoconpiad the town
Tired, worn ont, and almost shoeless and very hnn
gry, the brave fellows with a shout at onoe voted
unanimously to return and attack tha rebels.
Starting at a donble-qnlok, they gained tight of
the town, and, nnder cover of a cornfield, gained
sight of the oavalry about thirty rods distant.
Resting for a few minutes, they heard the rebel
captain give the order to mount, and, believing
that they had hben discovered, and were about to
be ohargtd upon, Captain Kennedy charged on the
town at a double-guiok, firing two volleys as they
ran.
The enemy, after firing a few harmless shots,
made their way, oonoealed by the houses, out c*
the opposite side of the town, bnt not until they
had one lieutenant killed and five men wounded,
as was ascertained from a person who same into
town soon afterwards.
The inhabitants of Loudoun oouuty are generally
Unionists, and were grateful to be freed from the
oppression of tbo rebels.
Captain Bowman, of the 28th New York, sta
tioned between Berlin and the Point of Rooks,
beard the firing at Lovetisvllle, and started with
his company, tanning throe miles, to aid Captalc
Kennedy, bat was too late to participate in the
rout.

Movements of the Missouri Rebels,
PILL«W DIOS AXOTfllft DITCH.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial ,
writing from Cairo, Illinois, gives the following
intelligence of the movements of the enemy;
u A Union man, who was drivan from Prise’s
Landing, on the Mississippi, ton miles above
Cairo, arrived her* to day. He says that Captain
i Pnos, of tho rebel army, slept at his house last
[ Wednesday nighr, and that he conveyed him to
I New Madrid from there on Thursday He states
that four additional steamers had reaobed that
point from bolowwith reinforcements for the en
emy. Strange as it may appear, he positively as
serts that the best drilled organization at New
| Madrid is a negro oavalrv company! Ha also
avers that tbe plan of the rebels ia for Jeff. Thomp
son to attack Cape Girardeau with his fore* of
8 000, in order to attract the at-ention of General
P> on rise in that direction, whiie General Pillow,
18 000 etrong, is to advanoe' on Bird’s P nut—both
attacks to be made simultaneously A scout, who
leit Pillow’s samp at New Madrid on Knnday,
eayr. he estimates his foroe at 12,000. while our
scoot is cotfilent it does not exceed 8 000 G,n.
Pillow is throwing up ontrecahmsnts there, and
has aotually made the ditch on the wrong aide !
New Madrid will doubtless be the ahief Northern
rendezvous of the rebels for the present. Co'ooei
Ketohnm, with 1,000 rebels, is enoamped six miles
west of Charleston, Missouri, evidently moving
towards Bird’s Point or Cape Girardeau. The
border eountiis in Missouri are overrun with ms.
randing parties, who ara committing depredations
and murdering Unionists. They are particularly
brntsl to the German population, une entire
family in the vioinlty of Charleston, including the
husband, wif«, and three children, were cruelly
murdered on Monday night, aad their stock and
household goods appropriated ”
Important from the Kanawha,
BBPOBTBD BAITI.B—BX OOVBBNOB WIBB CAPTUBND,
[ The Cincinnati Press of Friday last, says that
the steamboat Ida May. from the Kanawha, ar
rived there on Thursday afternoon. While stop
ping at Ironton. the olerk of the boat learned from
a man ntmtd Barber, who had jnst returned from
Genley Bridge, that Colonel Tyler, at tbe head of
fonr regiments, attacked Governor Wise’s com
mand, and, after a long and sanguinary oontest,
captured his entire army.
Mr Barber is repretented by the officers of the
boat, wno are well acquainted with him, as per
ieotly reliable- Ho says that he wae in Cox’s
oamp on Saturday, and that while there a oonner
arrived with a despatch from Cel. Tyler, stating
that he had oaptured Wise and his whole army,
bat not nntil fifteen hundred of the rebels and five
hundred of his own men were either killed or
wonnded.
Wise had been Intercepted about forty miles
from Ganley Bridge, at whioh place the action is
reported to bare oeearred It it said that the re
bels numbered about three thousand five hundred
men, and were well equipp'd.
Although we oannut affi m with certainty that
the rumor ia true, yet there are several ciroum
stances which render it highly probable The lo
oality and time are both given with aoonraoy, and
by watching the movements of Col. Tyler and Gen.
Wise, we are led to believe that if they met at all,
it most have been at that plaoe, and abont that
time. .
The rumor la farther corroborated by the story
of a desarter from tbe rebel army, who arrived at
Catllesburg before the news of the battle was olr
onlated, and who informed tbe people that on the
day he left Wise’s oommand (July 31st.) the ex-
Goveroor had made a speech to bis troops, inform
ing them that he was surrounded, and that they
mnst fight, or be made prisoners. That evening
he (the deserter) made his esoape.
Tnera has not, at the time of writing, b**B asy
dospatoh at the war effiee from Genera] Rosen
orane relative to the matter, and therefore the
story is not oredited in offioial oiroles; bnt it must
be remembered that Rosenorans ia at Clarksburg,
one hundred and fifty miles from where the battle
is alleged to have taken place; and that it wonld
have been extremely diffiouit for a courier to have
reaobed him in any other why than that by the
Kanawha routo, end coneeqnenily the report would
reach here before it oouid have been taken to
Clarksburg. .

THE CITY.
Tui Natal Saavioi A Naval Board bag
raoenriy been appointed in the leading oities cl
the Union, to make a survey of oraft, and seleot
those vessels oapable of undertaking ooastlng ser
vioe The said board made, last week, a survey
of tho shipping in the port of New York, and took
notes of the dtmesii.-ns, draught, etc , of a few
vessels. They have also made, through delegates,
a round ol the wharves of the Delaware, and fixad
nnon three or four vessels, that might, by judiolons
alteration, answer tbe purposes of light draoght
naval vessels, to peer lsto the inlets and bays of
the Atlantio and Golf coasts, to sink or intimidate
the pirate vessels of Jeff. Basis, that have, thus
- ■'—•'J
far, avoided the bloekading .quadrons, and made
of the seas a highway for depredations upon harm
less morobant vessels.
Wo knew of five or six vessels that would admi
rably answer the purposes of Government. They
now lio idle, and oonld be chartered or pu’chased
for an icsignlfioant sum. One of these now lies at
the dry-dock ot Simpson A Neill, a itanach, solid
hull, not yet rigged, and therefore oapable of *ny
alteration that tha naval constructor may deem
ncoessaiy. Along tha wharves of Kensington, tbe
oily proper, and Southwark, there are a number ot
fine vessels, which tbe troubles of the times have
made useless, whiob Government could readily fit
ont, endow with a small armament, and man with
some ot the ablest watermen along our river front.
Full of lojralty, terrible in their hatred of the sea
myrmidons of Davis, end, moro than all, loving
tho sea because it is tboir element and their bread,
these coasting vessels might, by sharp skirmishes
with privateers, make of our naval servioe a pres
tige, equal to that whioh the United States marine
aobioved when goir-g forth, in 1812, to sweep the
seas and build up a national renown
Puiladelphla hss, too, about fifty steam toga, or
tow boats, of light draught, (screw propellers,) that
oould ride any rhoal, with a pivot-gun at the
stern, and by soperior speed mako tremendous in
roads upon the rebel oommoroe, and yet undergo
no danger. Our port has more of there than any
single port on tho Atlantio ooast, for Philadelphia
is, in sort, an inlatid oity, and has no open bay
like New York, coming np to her docks and
wharves. Togs have been necessary to bring
these vessels np to town in a state of oalm on the
river, and we have, really, a surplus of them
With a gun at tbe storo and a lighter to oarry
ooal—whioh lighter might be abandoned in easo of
abase—the tags would become formidable, and
their small proportions would make them diflfoult
otjsots for hostile oannon. We oan readily imagine
one of these steaming np to the walls of Sumpter
or Pike, secure amid volltys of shot.
At tbe uavy yard, about seventeen hundred
hands were employed, yesterday. Tbe Tusearora
is on tbe stocks in the ship house, and preparations
are being made to fit out the Juniata. Five hun
dred men will be employed upon either vessel, and
the Tusearora will be launohed in tan days. A
number of small barges and ships boats are being
eonstrncted. The San Jacinto and the Afacc*
/lonian are expected to arrive daily, and tbe Sus
qaehanna is now receiving a new shaft. The tb ree
gunboats awarded to Philadelphia builders will b -
afloat biforelong, and the Albatross and flag will
soon be ready to sail. Twelve side wheel steamers
have been annonnoed as soon to be built, and Phi
ladelphia will probably receive contracts for three
There were about ono hundred marines in the navy
yard yesterday.
How to Establish Notobiitt—Yesterday
morning we were Bbown the following letter, re
eelved by Mayor Henry, frem a well known Bos
ton showman:
Bis Houon tub Mato* of Pbilabilpbia :
Dsar Sir: Will you please aeoept the onototod
medal from tha undersigned.
Ie is the earns as presented by me te the officers
and soldiers of the Sixth Regiment Massachusetts
Volunteers, on their return from Washington, after
three months’ service in defense of the capital.
Tonr patriotic exertions in forwarding trooos for
tho defence of theoapital, and in oaring for the
oomfort of the soldiers of other Btatea as they
oaeted through your beautttul oity to join the
grand army, are deeds whioh will bn long remem
bered by yonr countrymen.
The modal consists of a Tory thin brass plate, in
the oentro representing the am i rf ike Uni ed
States, and is surrounded by red, wU's, and blue
pasteboard, bearing several dates and mottoes Si
milar to- king objects are retailed in the streets for
the price of one cent-
This trick has been resorted to in order to gain
notoriety One of the same medals was furnished
to the Mayor of New York, and a eommuaisati n
signed by that gentleman soon after appeared in
tha papers of that oity, in which he acknowledged
tbe receipt of tbe same, and mentioned tbe name
of the donor. This was all tha giver dedred, and,
befog successful, has now tried the same game
with the Mayor of oar oity, who we are assured,
will not notioe any suoh insignificant trickery Ho
promises, however, to do all in his power to render
the stay of troops in onr oity as pleasant as pos
sible.
Ustukh OF VaUvtin’a R avoirs Tho In
dependent Rangers, Captain Win MoMnllin, left
Baltimore yesterday morning, at half past six
o’clock, in a special train', and arrived at ths de
pot in this oity at about a quarter to efoven.
There wss an immense crowd of people assem
bled to give weloome to this well known oorps
The company was formed on the platform of the
depot, and, having deposited their baggage and
trophies in furniture o.rs, they merehed out of tho
depot, amid the most enthusiastic cheers.
On Broad street they were joined by a very
handsome escort of etilssns and reiurned volun
teers, oon.tisting of Captain Isaac Bassett’s ootn
pany of Cadwalader Grays and Captain Croatia's
oompnny of tha Soott Ligion The procession was
beaded by Beck’s Band. The column moved up
Broad to Christian, and down Christian to Eighth,
where the streets were almost impassable.
Just after they started, surrounded by a large
crowd of admiring friends, a soldier walking be
hind all the others with an officer of the regiment,
having been deprived of his gnn for some reason,
sprang upon the man who was lurrying the weapon
and sirove to wrest It from him. Peace was re
stored for the moment by the officer, bnt presently
tbe malcontent managed to seize the musket. Hs
then ran offintothe crowd, bnt the officer was after
him They wrestled there eeveral minnleß over
the gnn, the officer, who also oarried a pike, having
his hands considerably aoratehed F t fear the
soldier, who was probably excited, should use the
bayonet, a bystander palled it off, aud presently
the oulprit yielded to the foroe of circumstances
The procession had, meanwhile, moved into
Christian street, drawn thither evidently by their
affinities, for many of them met recognitions fer
vent and enthuriaetio, from female oocupante of
houses on that street. They next turned into
Eighth street, and oppesite tba Moyemeneing Hose
House they were greeted with bell-ringlngand
half a dosen dischargee from a small cannon They
met another hose cart a few blookß on, and seemed
to excite a good deal of curiosity and enthusiasm
ail along their ronte. After marching throrgi
several streets, they brought up at the National
Guards’ Hall, where they staoked their arms.
Colonel Lyle said that, owing to the short no ioe
whioh he had, he was unable to have many of his
men in the escort of Captain MoMnllin, for whi .h
he was very sorry. Captain MoMnllin then made
a few remarks, in which he thanked Colonel Lyia
for his kindness and good feeling, after which <he
men were dismissed, to be again on hand at the
collation, whioh took plaoe in the afternoon
Tho following is the speech made by General
Patterson to tho Rangers, who (topped Delore his
hoove, in Locust street:
“OrncßßS ahd Man er the Independent
Rabgbbs : My knowledge of tbe courage mod
energy of Captain MoMnllin, and tho belief trot
no would admit non* bnt reliable men to his com
pany, induced me to seleetyou as the Headqnn tier
Guard, and for special service. I uprord you to
cerform your duty vigilantly, faithfnl'y, and f-ar
lesely; to be sober, orderly, and well behaved at
all times. It now gives me sincere p?easnre to be
able to say that my expectations la this respect
have been folly realized ; yea were always ready,
always willing. I thank yon for your soldierly

The Commonwealth Artillery. This
company, which returned home o his oity from
Fort Delaware, about a week since where it hag
been in the Pni'ed 6’atoa eervise for nearly three
months and a half, desirous of forming a regiment
with the same name end title, to serve during tho
war, and with a view to its proper efilrienoy, nave
adopted the following plan for its organisation,
viz; It ia intended that this regiment shall ba
composed of fifteen companies, each on* hundred
strong, so as to have an aggregate ot fifteen hun
dred men The company officers are to be seloo-ed
from among the present members of the Com
monwealth Artillery Company, aud will oomprilc
those who bav», by attantion to military drill and
discipline, and by carerul study daring the three
months of serviae, fitted themselves for the re
sponsible duties belonging tbereto. In tbi- way,
a spirit of eo-operation must be established
whioh cannot fail of hflwg boaeloial in its
rorulis; and, likewise, a feeling of pride
will be engendered which must give great
power to the good management aud order
of the whole. The regiment Tv to bo commanded
by Captain A A Gibson of tbe Second Artillery,
U 8 A , a graduate of West Puint, an experienced
soldier, practical artillerist, rigid dirciptlnarian,
and every w*y fitted by education end aneooietion
to direot inch a body of troops in the livid. Cap
tain ffiihron has the unbounded eonfi tenoo of every
man id the company, and there is cot one of them
who will no; cheerfully aooompany him in every
expedition, or follcw him in any danger—well
knowing that a soldier by profession will not heed
lessly commit an error. All thac ia now wanting
ia the oonseutof the decretory of War that Captain
G. may take oommand without inte: feting with his
rank and promotion in lha army; and as there JjftC
been, sinon the Manassas affair, such a miversal
demand for real officers, w* have now snob an op
portunity of organising a regiment whtah will he
the pride of our State, it cannot be withheld.
