WAR NEWS.
THE Fr Si fiTBAMEIX SOUTH. CAROLINA.
By the energy of die commander and other offi
■C3rs of the blockn ling steamer South Carolina,
she has succeeded in breaking up the nefarious
communicfifinn of the rebels between the prominent
towns on the seaboard of Texas and the city of
• Kcw Orleans, imr'i.g tho short period she has
been upon the station she has captured, as prises,
some sixteen vessels, many uf ill cut being valuable
ones,- and containing suen cargoes as the Disunion
ists needed. Tho,r capture and confiscation is n
. Test benefit to our cause. The South Carolina is
a most excellent vessel in every respect —is fast,
well officered, and contains a crew ofi2s men, who
will die for the cause under which they have en
rolled themselves.
THE PAYMENT OF VOLUNTEERS.
Tho Secretary of IVar has addressed the follow
ing letter to Paymaster General Larned :
War Department, Sept. 13,1861.
Sir : You will arrange for the payment of volun
teers as directed by tho provisions of the act of
■Congress relating thereto, dated July 24, and as
amended Aug, 6, 1861- via: When organised and
accepted by the Governors of the several States,
without regard to the date of mustering into the
service of the United States, provided payment
has not been made by the respective States, for which
the Government will eventually be liable. Where
volunteer regiments have been accepted by the
War Department, upon what are termed indepen
dent acceptances, you will allow pay from the date
of organization of each company with the minimum
number of men; satisfactory evidence in each case
to bo furnished your department before payment is
made.
There is no specific appropriation against which
warrants for the $lOO to be paid to widows of de
ceased volunteers can be drawn, bat the Second
Auditor of the Treasury proposes to allow the $lOO
provided by law to be paid to the widows or heirs
at-law, along with arrears of pay, and to have the
req nisition drawn for both against the appropriation
“ for the pay of the two and three yews volunteers.
In his opinion, no other nor further application or
evidence is required to secure the bounty than that
required to receive the arrears of pay.
THE BOMBARDMENT OF GALVESTON,
Lieutenant Woodward, of the First Missouri
Cavalry, has written the following to the editor of
the Missouri Democrat:
« I notice in the columns of your paper of this
date, the announcement of the bombardment of
Galveston, and also certain official correspondence
in relation thereto. Two of the gentlemen repre
senting foreign Powers I know personally, to wit:
J. C. Kuhn and B. Theron. To my certain know
ledge, they have resided in Texas for the last,
twelve years, and are both citizens of the United
States, exercising all the elective franchise, and
owning more or less property in the State of Texas.
J. C. Kuhn, particularly, is a large, property
bolder, and, if I mistake not, has time and again
held municipal offices under the charter of the city
of Galveston. The other representatives of foreign
Powers 1 do not know, but am inclined to the
opinion that they also are resident citizens of the
United States. Kuhn and Theron are rabid Seces
sionists, and their protest is a dirty partisan and
Secession dodge to embroil our country with the
foreign Powers they represent.
Jefferson City, Sept. 11.
Francis M. Cooper, who was taken prisoner at
the battle of Springfield, came in on Monday, hav
ing escaped from Gen. Price's armv at Fremont on
Monday, Sept. Ist. He reports that Kains had
there joined Price, having arrived four days be
fore. The whole army, amounting to 10,000 men,
was to move to the Northwest in two divisions—on
Lexington and Fort Scott. Informant overheard
a letter read from Hardee to Price, exhorting him
to do his duty—that he would <! meet him either in
Heaven or hell or in St. Louis for winter quarters. ’ ’
In the same letter he boasted that his force and
Pillow's amounted toloo,ooo men. McCullochhnd
not been seen since the battle, and it was given out
that he bad gone to Texas. Price had two fingers shot
off in the battle. A portion of this story is cor
roborated by information received yesterday.
A gentleman from Georgetown reports General
Price’s whole force at Clinton, the news having
been received from persons directly from there,
and that it was believed he was marching on to
Lexington.
FROM CAIRO —THE PADUCAH EXPEDITION
Camp Deviance, Cairo, Sept. 9.—The reliable
correspondent of the Missouri Democrat writes
as follows:
The expedition which went to Paducah, com
posed of Colonel Paine’s and Colonel McArthur's
regiments. Smith’s Chicago Artillery, under com
mand of Lieutenant "Willard, and gunboats Tyler
and Conestoga, arrived on Friday morning last,
after having neon delayed at Mound City some
hours, without any accident. McArthur’s rogi
,ment only numbers fire hundred men, which made
the force, not including the men on the gunboats,
about seventeen hundred.
The landing was effected without any delay, Mc-
Arthur taking possession of the United "States
Marine Hospital] Major Phillips, of Paine's regi
ment, and Lieutenant Willard, with the Chicago
Light Artillery, seizing the New Orleans and Ohio
Railroad depot, and Commodore Rogers, with a
force from the Tyler, taking the telegraph office.
The marching to the different points to be occu
pied'was done quietly, without any demonstration
< n our part, ana none on the part of the citizens.
Xt was discovered, soon after taking possession of
the telegraph office, that the rebels had stolen the
battery of rite office, which was supposed to be hid
i»SSt£SL£".i,.j •!-«' !“ b s£
the battery, and perhaps Sonieoi' the engines «...
cars, five companies of infantry, under command of
Major Phillips, and two guns of the Chicago Light
Artillery, under command of Lieut. Morgan, start'
ed in pursuit. Arriving at the place, they failed to
find the battery, but found.that the runaways had
fired a building near a long bridge, built on tressle
work, similar to the one across the Big Muddy, on
the Illinois Central. It is supposed the rebels
thought we would send a force to guard the bridge,
as we had done some months ago at the BigMuday.
and they would therefore destroy the only place
for quartering, and so fired the building, the roof
of which fell in as we got to the place. The two
commanders of our expedition had information that
there were in the vicinity some thirty-fire hun
dred rebel troops, who intended to take possession
of Paducah that night, and, as they had commenced
the burning business, they decided to do a little in
that line, and so fired and burned one hundred and
twenty feet of the bridge at a point where it was
twenty feet high.
Information reaching Commodore Rogers that,
the night before we arrived at Paducah, a boat had
gone up the Tennessee river, loaded with flour for
the Southern army,he despatched the gunboat
CoiiMoga after her. She failed to find her, but,
on rounding a point, saw a steamer, loaded with
tobacco, casting loose her lines, and steaming up
the river, when she was undoubtedly intended to
come to Paducah, and, on his nearing the boat, she
made for the shore; the crew jumped ashore, and
were making for the woods. The captain of the
gunboat hailed them, and ordered them on board.
He put some marines on the tobacco boat, and
brought her to Paducah.
Arriving at the depot, Major Phillips opened the
doors, and seized a large lot of army stores, con
sisting of flour, bacon, lard, army boots and shoes,
nails, leather, army bed-clothes, whisky, station
ery, envelopes, Ac., Ac., amounting in all to over
$20,000, marked for the Southern Coniederacv, but
principally for Port GibsonJMississippi.
Pillow, Hardee, Thompson, and McCulloch have
certainly retreated from their positions, south to
New Madrid. There are two reasons for this move,
one being Prentiss’ bold march from Ironton to
Cape Girardeau, which looked to them as though
they might soon smell powder, and the other is
that they have foraged and robbed the people of
Missouri of everything that is worth stealing, and.
like the old Indian, have gone to seek new hunting
grounds.
_ The gunboat Lexington went down the MissiE
sippi yesterday morning, to reconnoitre, and found
two masked batteries. She went close enough to
draw the fire from some gunboats at Columbus.
Three batteries have lately been planted. Gen.
Grant informs me that he has information that at
and near Columbus the rebel force (which is proba
bly Pillow's) amounts to sixteen regiments of in
fantry, three gunboats, flying artillery, cavalry
AC. On the strength of this new phase of affaire,
two regiments—the Hecker Yeagers and Ross’s
Seventeenth Illinois—who were with Prentiss, in
Missouri, and arrived here yesterday morning, from
Cape Girardeau, on their way to Paducah,'were
ordered across the river to Kentucky, opposite the
fort. Tiiey will go into camp, and some heavy
guns will be planted-there. Prom present appear
ances, we may have a big fight here yet. The gun
boat Yankee (rebel) was seen yesterday from the
Kentucky shore, within four miles of the fort.
[Our special Cairo correspondent gives full par
ticulars in another column.—Ed. PnEss.]
Five transports left last evening for Cape Girar
deau, and will probably bring the remainder of
Prentiss' column; whether he will be in command
is not known hero.
General C. P. Smith, a New Yorker, and a IVest
Point instructor, left yesterday for Paducah, and
R ow lhat‘heleyal citizens of Kentucky' are being
supported by the Government, they are determined
to nse and defend the State from the ravages of the
f P ? 10n cam r s are being rapidly filled
jrim soldiers. In ono camp five regiments ef Ken
tuckians were organized in one week, each regiment
numbering one thousand men, all thoroughly armed
fel,T ipped - T *! erc ,” e a,so two regiments of
loyal Tennesseans m the camp. This looks like a
determination on the part of the people not to be
overridden by the rebels. The UnionToldiws from
other ..rates still occupy the places taken by then?

SOUTHERN NEWS.
THE AFFAIR AT HATTERAS AND ITS RESULTS.
The following is from the Norfolk Day Book of
the 2d inst.:
boat ? employed to convey men and
guns to the coast Of North Carolina returned here i
this morning She left there at 11 o’clock A. M. j
entif. - report ? d b y of the hands that
the entire Georgia regiment lately encamped in I
rear of the Gosport navy yard barely escaped bein"
captured. It appeared from his statement thaf
ignorant of the progress which the enemy
made, they were making for one of the forts in
thair possession, and would have gone directly into
their jaws had not a friendly boat, fortunately ner
eemng their intention, warned them of their dan
ger, whereupon they tnrncd back, and landed oil ■
Roanoke Island.
He further represents that the Confederates wore
atwut evacuating Fort Oregon. It had not been
attacked, but the fact was so apparent to tho ;
Officers in charge that they could not possibly hold
u against a force so superior in nnmbere to their I
own, that they deemed it prudent to retire, and
yield the fort, without exposing their men to
danger from which no good could pi'&cibly«*crue.
KonnoKe Island, our informant etatcs, i& now oc
cupied by our forces; but it is feared it cannot long
bo held, ns there are no fortifications there* Should
the attack by the Federalists, however, on the
island not occur ns soon as expo tod, our troops will
be better prepared to resist them.
SOUVENIRS OF THE MANASSAS BATTLE,
A correspondent writing from the battle-field
says:
t; There is any number of trophies and relief? of
the battle to be met with here, from which to
choose souvenirs, We had exhibited to us os a
priceless curiosity, a hoof of the horse shot under
General Beauregard in the action. Another curi
osity hunter had obtained a Minie ball that had
been shot through the backbone of a Yankee, and
had been transformed, in its passage, to a mingled
mass of lead and splintered bono.”
AFFAIRS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Charleston Mercury has these items:
The Columbia Guardian says that Governor
Pickens holds a fine regiment with ten companies,
near Aiken, on the railroad, now in camp, ready to
be moved to any point fit a moment's warning,
and probably General Jones will be its colonel.
The Governor has also thirty companies, in throe
regiments, near this place, on the railroad, pre
paring to move at a moment's notice; also, three
fine cavalry companies, and one at Aiken; also,
two artillery companies—in all, 4,000 men.. Gen.
Punovant is also colonel of one of these regiments.

rpilE WEEKLY PRESS.
THE WEEKLY PRESS
Has been established on a secure and permanent founda
tion j but it is, in reality, a marvellous example of Iba
degree of favor which a rightly-conducted
LITERARY, POLITICAL, AND HEWS JOURNAL
Can receive at the hands of a liberal and enlightaoed
Public. Our most grateful thanks are tendered forth*
patronage already bestowed upon us, and we shall apax*
ho efforts which may serve to render the paper even OOP*
attractive, useful, and popular in the fnture.
The general features of the Paper, in addition to Its
POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPARTMENTS,
Will be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOGRAPHY, and Ort
ginal and Selected TALES, chosen for their lessons «f
Life, illustrations of History, depicture of Manners, as#
general merit, and adapted, in their variety, to the tastes
of both sexes and ail ages.
OUR NEWS COLUMNS
Will continue to be subject to unremitting care and often*
tion, and all diligence be employed to moke this paper ft
compendium of all the principal events of interest whioh
transpire, at home and abroad.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER
Of THE WEEKLY PRESS, now universally Acknow
ledged to be of eh elevated stamp, .ball net only maintain
its present High Standing, but Bkoll be enhanced by bn
portant and valuable contributions from able Writers.
Deeming Purity of Morals the great safeguard of private
happiness and public prosperity, wo shall carefully ex
clude from our columns everything which may reittOßaMy
be objected to on the score of improper tendency. Th*
fields of pure Literature afford sufficient material to
make an
ACCEPTABLE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
Containing all the elements of excellence, without istagto
objectionable line; and the proprietor of THE WEEKLY
PRESS may justly claim that no head of a fasatly seed
hesitate to let its columns go under the notice of any
member of his Household,
THE POLITICAL COURSE
Or THE WEEKLY PRESS need not be enlarged appß
here. Independent, steady, and fearless, it bos battled
unwaveringly find zealously in defence of THE BIGHTS
OF THE PEOPLE against Executive Usurpation, and
Unfair and Tyrannical Legislation; ever declaring and ad
hering to the doctrine that POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
constitutes the fundamental basis of onr free institutions,
and that tlio intelligence and patriotism of our Citizens
will always be preservative “ a wise, just, and salutary
Government. These are the principles to which THE
WEEKLY PRESS bae been committed, and to tbeeeH
will adhere.
