On Friday morning last, tlic Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court of New York presented four newspapers published in New York-City, and one in Brooklyn, as disloyal and guilty of furnishing aid and comfort to the rebels in anus against the Federal Government. The papers are the Journal of Commerce, the Hcics, the Freeman's Journal, the Day-Booh, and the Brooklyn Eagle. The Jury state, in their presentment, that they are aware of the great liberty of speech and of the press, allowed in a free government, but they urge that there is, nevertheless, a limit; and it might be weil for certain bigoted editor's in our State—who are so blinded by party prejudice that they can sec nothing good in the actions of the present Administration, and arc spreading treason broadcast over the, laud, merely because then- parly is not in power—to observe tbc limit to the freedom of the press “If n person iti a fciiTOss or on army \?crc to preach to thcsoWiers, submission to the enemy, lie would be treated as an offender. Would ho be more culpable than the citizen who, in the midst- of the most formidable conspiracy and re rebellion, tells the conspirators that 'they are right, encourages them to persevere in resist ance, and condemns the efforts of loyal citizens to overcome and punish them, as an “unholy war?” If the utterance of such language in the streets or.through the press is not a crime, then there is a great defect in our laws, or they were not made for such an emergency.” The Huntingdon Glohe, speaking of this matter, says The Day-Booh is the chief organ among the treasonable sheets now circulated through the North. It denounces Gen. M Ciellan, and every loval citizen, Abolitionists at heart. It opposes the war as an t; unholy war.” It calls on Democrats to refuse to unite with the Re publicans in taking up arurs for the pro tection of Government property and the defence of Washington. It denounces the President and his Cabinet as traitors and Abolitionists. It calls on the north ern masses to refuse to sustain the war, Treason I If the Day-Bool: is not a treasonable sheet, then Jeff Davis is not s traitor. The Government and the loyal people ol tb.e North have been, thus far, slow in the punishment of traitors North and South. But we have reason to be lieve that very soon the laws will be en forced against all who arc in sympathy with the rebels. Tne people of the North should remem ber, that the more those in rebellion against the Government are encouraged, the wore expensive, and the longer will the war continue. Ihe rebellion must and will bo put down, at any cost of life and treasure, and the sooner the North presents a united front, the sooner will the rebels be com pelled to respect our Government, and peace be restored. One Southern sympa thizer in the North can do the Govern ment more harm than a thousand' traitors in a rebel State, which makes it the more important that traitors at home should be severely dealt with. From Washington. Andrew Carnegie telegraphs the Pitts burg Chronicle, under date of August 21, as follows;—“ Say to our friends not to be discouraged at the recent orders to hurry tfee troops on to W ashington. It must be considered as evidence not of fear, but of a determination to place beyond doubt the result ot the contemplated attack. “■The response of the North is over whelming. One hundred thousand addi tional men can be thrown here in a week if necessary. Probably half that number will only.be required.” Kentucky Legislature. —The Win chester (Ky.)

City, Mo., Aug. 9, While Go!. Stipe,b. of the Fifth Mi.-sou ri Reserved Corps, and Col. Worthing, ton’s Fifth lowa, were coming down the river on the Government steamer, they were frequently fired on' with cannon and small arms by the . secessionists from the banks, killing one and wounding seven or eight of the troops. There is great ex citement among the people along tlie river in consequence of the greatly exaggerated accounts of the battle near Springfield, which is represented as a great victory for Secession.' Iron ton, Mo., Aug. 17.—A messenger brings iniormation that Col. Ilccker. who left here on Thursday with his regiment, surprised u body of rebels -10 U strong, near Frederickstown, early yesterday morning. Ho captured all their camp equipage, and his men eat the breakfast which had just been prepared. Twelve prisoners were also _taken. Gen. Prentiss has arrived and taken command of all the forces in this section. ““Rolla, Mo., Aug. IS. —Capt. Emmet McDonald.was in-town to-day. He.says that Capt. Charles C. Rogers, aid-de-camp to Gov. Jackson,: and Capt. Stephen A. Coleman, both of St. Louis, were killed in the battle of the 10th. Also that Gen. M’Culluugh’s force, before the battle, was 22,000 strong, and their killed and wound ed 2,500 to 3,000, Gen. Seigol received his commission as i Brigadier Genera! on Saturday, and as- i Eumed command of the Federal forces on | yesterday. i McDonald was ascorted beyond the lines i yesterday, and sent on his way to Spring- | field. He no doubt gained much valuable j information of the strength and position j of our forces, ctci,-as it is said he had the i freedom of the camp under his flag of truce. Our wounded at Springfield are reported , to bo doing better. | The correspondent of the St, Louis Re- j publican, furnishes the following : Gen. j Sterling Price has issued a proclamation ■ at Springfield, to the effect that a great ; victory has been won, and the Northern j oppressors of, Missouri have been driven i back; that everyone belonging to the | Home Guard organization will be regard- ! ed as an enemy to the Southern Gonicde- I racy, but that Ids protection would extend to such who should quietly return to their ! homes and allow the Southern sway to pre vail, and that whoever recognizes tb.e Pro visional Government of Missouri will be ; considered as an enemy to the State, and ; dealt with accordingly. Capt. McDonald reports that Generals ! Price and Clark were slightly, and Briga-. dier General Slack seriously wounded in j .the late engagement. Also, Col. Bay, for- i mcrly Capt. of Jackson’s body guard. | McDonald was very anxious to go to St. : Louis, but his application was refused.- II:c asked many questions, with the view i of asccrtaing how many troops, cannon, ■ etc., there are in that city, and what prep- j arations arc beimrmadc to resist an attack, i Slaughter of Black Horse Cavalry, Mr. Charles Fur-rand, of Lansing, a member of the First Michigan Regiment, gives the following account of the charge of the Black Horse Cavalry, at Bull Run. which is by far the most graphic and evi dently correct one yet published: At this moment the Black Horse Cavalry made its appearance obliquely from the right; all the while the masked battery, as well as infantry, was pouring upon us a fearful fire of shot, shells, canister, fee. As the Cavalry appeared, six hundred strong, upon the .full gallop, carbine in hand, our firing for the moment mostly ceased, each man reserving his charge to receive them with suitable honors. The* horses of the Cavalry were all black or gray. Their front showed a lino of per haps ten rods. Our fire was reserved un til the loft of their front was within five or six rods of our right, when we poured a continuous volley at them, killing most of the horses in front and many on their sides. As they fell, pitching their riders to the ground, those following fell over them, and from our bullets, and in five minutes we had sent them probably four thousand pills, and they lay piled upon each other, a mangled, kicking, struggling dying mass of men and horses —a sight of horror to which no description could do justice. Our aim was mostly at the hor ses;-and I doubt not many more of the men were killed by the horses than by our bullets. The story that all this fighting was done by the Zouaves is false. The three regi ments were mingled together, and all fought,equally well. I here speak what I know, for I was directly in front of the cavalry, and nearly in the centre. It was the general opinion that not over half a dozen of the cavalry escaped alive, though there may have been more. During this brief but horrible .work, the masked bat tery and large, bodies of infantry were pouring their fire into our ranks, and our men were falling on every hand. We again returned their fire, and soon after, Lieut., Maueh having been struck down, I and two others assisted him back, and, on returning, we found our men still stand ing their ground. A Noble Reply.—Among the Federal prig- ■ oner,?, writes n correspondent from Richmond, i .is a noble looking and intelligent Zouave. I i o„ . « ' , . , i saw him on the field just after he was taken.

J off . 1 Hear Mr. Bright, of England. j At a late meeting in England, Mr. Bright said: i Now, recollect what breaking the blockade ; means. It means a war with the United States; i and I don’t think myself it would bo cheap to I , break the blockade at the cost of a war with the I ; United States. I think that the cost of a war ' : tvith the United Status would give, probably, 1 half wages, for a considerable time, to those ! persons in Lancashire who would be out of work 1 , il there was no cotton, to any nothing at all of. ; the manifest injustice and wrong against all in- ; teruatioaa! law that a legal and effective block- i ade should be interfered with by another conn- 1 try. It is not exactly the business of this meet* \ ing, but my opinion is that that the safety of i the products eu which this country depends rests i.ar more on the success of the Washington. Gov- j ernment than upon its failure; and I believe | nothing could be more monstrous than than for - us, who arc not very averse to war ourselves, > to set up for critics—-carping, cavilling critics— ! of what tuc W asbinglon government is doing. I saw a letter the other day from an Englishman resident for twenty-five years in Philadelphia, a merchant there and a very prosperous mer chant. He said, “ I prefer the institutions of j this country (the United States,) very much to : , yours in England a’ but he says also, “if it bo i once admitted that hero wo have no country and I , no government, but any portion of these United | t Slates can break off from the central Govern- i i meat whenever it pleases, then it is time for me i to pack up what I have, and go somewhere j ■ whore there is a country and a Government. 11 : ; Well, that is the pith of this question. Do you : suppose that if Lancashire and Yorkshire tho’t , : that they would break off from the United King : dom that those newspapers that are preaching . every kind of moderation to the Government of : Washington, would advise the Government in ‘ London to allow these two counties to set up a i special government for themselves? When the j people of Ireland askedffhat they should secede ! it proposed ia Loudon that they should be allowed to sc-ceuc peaceably af* Nothing of the ; kind, lam not going to defend what is taking I place in a country that is well able to defend j itseii. But 1 advise you, and I advise the peo i plo of England, to abstain from applying to the j United States doctrines and principles which iwe never apply to uur own case. At any rate, ■ they have never fought fur the “balance of ; power 1 * in Europe. They have never fought to , keep up a decoying empire. They have never ; squandered the money of their people in such | phantom expeditious as we have been engaged i in. And now, at this moment, when you are 1 told that they are going to bo ruined by their ■ vast expenditure, why the sum that they are ; g°i n 3 to raise in the great emergency of this i greyions war, is no greater than what wc raise i during a time of peace. [Loud cheers.] They i say that they are not going to liberate slaves. | No: the object of the Washington Government | is to maintain their own Cuiistituiou, and to act | legally as it permits and requires. No man is ■ any more in favor of peace than I am; no man : has denounced war mere than lhavc, probably, in this country; few men, in their public life, i have snluTod more obliquy—l had. almost said ■ indignity—in consequence of it. But I cannot : l °r the life oi me see. upon any of these princi ; pies upon which States are covcrcucd now—l ; nothing of the literal word of the New Tcs ; turnout—l cannot see how the state of affairs in ■ America, with regard to the United States Gov , ernment, could have been different from what it ;is at this moment. We had a heptarchy in this i country, and was thought to bo a good thing to i get rid of it, and to have a united nation. If : the thirty-throe .or thirty-four States of the American Union can break'off whenever they - like, 1 can sec nothing but disaster and cqnfu : throughout the whole of that continent. I ; say Umt the war, be it successful or not, be it Christian or not. be it wise or not, is a war to | sustain the Government,-and to sustain the au ! thority of a great Nation; and that the people | ot England, it they arc true to. their own sym ( pathies, to their own history, and to their own ■ great actof ISo-i, to which reference has already I been made, will have no sympathy for those I wno wish to build up a great empire on the per petual bondage of millions of their fellow men. [Loud cheers.] Burning or Hampton Acknowledged —The following letter in the Petersburg, Va., Express, confirms the previous statement that Hampton was burned by the rebels; I ‘-Camp at Bartlett's, Aug. o.—On Wednesday ■ evening it was decided by Gen. Magruder to be ; -expedient and proper to burn Hampton. In fur therance of this object, just after dark,- tbo troops were moved from in sight of Hampton to ; another road which approached nearer to New -1 pert Nows, and not far from the town. The Old Dominion Cavalry, under the command of Capt. : Phillips, and the Mecklenburg Cavalry, under command ot Oapt. T. I. Goode, and a command | ot ' infantry, under Col. Hodges, were detailed | for the hazardous purpose of firing the town, i Tile cavalry companies marched in front, with ! the infantry behind. -■■■ ■" Wo were now : ordered to proceed with the burning, and bard ;er work a set of fellows never did. We oontin ■ u '-d to set fire to house after house, until all ’ were,in flames within and below the fortification. 1 A portion of the Cavalry companies were then ■ detailed- to complete the burning above the for i tihcation, winch they did, and then covered the ; retreat ot the infantry to camp, about C miles ' distant. The town was most effectually burned, ! nn 'l I fool s >iro that no person was burned, al -1 though it was about midnight.” i P-Iw The Tlunluujrhin Globe very trutb j fully remarks that “ there is a class of men I in the Northern States who are eternally | preaching ‘compromise/ ‘peace’ ‘high i taxes/ &c. The time was when wc were i willing to talk compromise, but that time lis not now. As long as the rebels threaten i and are in anus against the Government, | wc shall urge upon the true friends of the | Union a vigorous prosecution of the war as the surest and most honorable course ■to pursue to bring the rebels to their souses, and the war to a close. Those j who preach ‘peace’ while the rebels are ; threatening the destruction of our Capi | tol are guilty of little less than giving the | rebels, aid and comfort direct. When the , rebels lay down their arms and ask for I peace it will be time enough for Union | men to talk of compromise and peace.” The President’s Proclamation. U BiU be sccu tbit the President has issued ; a Proclamation, forbidding all commercial inter course with the disloyal portion of thc'Hnion. The strict enforcement of his directions will do much to embarrass the insurgents. Notwith standing all the precautions which hare hereto- j fore been observed, large supplies of important I and indispensable articles have been furnished j to them, particularly by the overland route through Kentucky. They have thus obtained ; provisions, salt, linseed oil, and probably pow- ; der, percussion caps, and many other things | which they need. A blockade by sea will do ■ them comparatively little harm if a land block- ! ade is not also enforced. The discussions in j some of the journals published in the cities on ; the Ohio river are calculated to produce the ira- i pression that, heretofore, the efforts to check the export of produce to the South, have result- j cd rather in increasing the trade of one town i on the north hank of that river, and diminish- ! iug that of another, than in actually cutting off) tho supplies of the insurgents. The correspon dent of the London Times, while travelling in the South, witnessed many proofs of tho serious inconvenience that would result from a strict blockade, and it can be easily imagined how much a people who have never been accustomed to produce, on a large scale, anything but raw agricultural materials, and but little genius for manufactures, must suffer when their present stock of imported articles is exhausted, if they are entirely prevented from using it. A very interesting question connected with our blockade by sea will probably soon be ear nestly discussed, Tho general principle that for eign nations arc bound to respect a blockade which is not enforced by an adequate naval force is undoubtedly correct. But this princi ple applies properly to two distinct nations at war with each other, and not to tho ports of a portion of a country that is in a state of rebel lion. The latter can only be properly opened to foreign countries by appropriate legislation, and the same power which opens can legally close them. It was the action of our National Government that made New Orleans, Mobile, ! Savannah, Charleston, etc., ports of entry, anti I when it deprives them of the character conferr | cd by such legislation the vessels of foreign na i tions have no right to enter there for commer i ciai purposes. While a rigorous blockade is be j iug instituted upou our coast, therefore, (which ! will scon bo greatly strengthened,) British and | crenel} vessels will have no right to enter our j ports even it at some points it should not be j tnorouglily effective, because our Government I can will legally deprive them .of that privil ] Cnr deet, cruising on the coast, may in j reality partaxc rather of the character of a | squadron engaged in enforcing our revenue laws, in seeking to prevent the egress of piratical ex peditions from rebellious cities, and in captur ing piratical vessels, and in aiding the Govern ment to suppress insurrection, than of a block ading squadron, guarding the coast of an inde pendent and hostile nation.— Philadelphia Press. Tin: BiiTTiir. Payment or Volunteers.— Al most all tiic dissatisfaction among our volun teers Las been produced by tho vexatious and expensive delay in paying off volunteers. This reanssness Las been very unjustly charged on the Government, but it has been clearly proved that those who are alone in fault arc the Cap tains of companies, who have boon criminally ignorant (or negligent) in making out the pay rods. Vi e arc glad to know, however, that this chief cause of complaint is about to be done away with entirely. A general order has been issued, directing that at the end of this month, and every two months hereafter, all volunteers shall be mustered for pay. One copy of the pay-roll is to be sent to the Adjutant-General’s office, two to the Paymasters of the district or post where the regiment is stationed, and the remainder at headquarters. By another order every man who enlists in a volunteer regiment becomes, that instant, a soldier of tho United States—as such receives pay and rations, is transported to a can.p or rendezvous, and in case the regiment in which he has enrolled himself be not “up to time," is liable to bo transported to another. Ho.* Kentucky Unionists Talk.— The most contemptible fiunkoyism of which wc have any knowledge, says tho_ Frankfort (Ivy.) Common ivixiih, is found in Northern men and newspa pers, who oppose the prosecution of the war for the preservation of the Union, and the suppres sion of treason and rebellion. Wo hate a traitor from any portion of the country, but we despise the Northern man who professes to bo for the Union, and opposes the war on Constitutional grounds. Such men ns Vaiandiglmra, of Ohio, and I>en Mood, of New lurk, professing to be Union men. arc jmt its most dangerous enemies, Tii-.y r arc horrified because Lincoln has violated the Constitution, yet Southern traitors have vio lated the same Constitution, and these men only express “sympathy” for them! From such Union men may the Lord deliver us! A South ern traitor has ambition and whisky for excuses, but a Northern traitor is a natural tory and toa ‘U- Tlie N. \. J\eics, the N. Y. Day Boole, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and a few other Northern papers of that stripe, are doing more to foster and prolong this rcocllion than all the Southern fanatics and disunion papers combined. Concealing Tin;in Losses.— Wc saw, says the Louisville Journal, on Monday evening, a highly intelligent Virginia, gentleman, not a se cessionist, direct from Richmond. Ho says that he talked with an officer who was in the battle of Manassas, and asked him what loss the Fed eral troops sustained. The officer seemed to have a great deal of knowledge on the subject, and after going into details of the returns made from the several companies and regiments, ho said: “ Our loss was much heavier than that of the United Slates, but it will never do to lot the Vankies know or suspect this.” The Vir ginian assures us that the U. S. troops, if they had won the battle at Manassas, which, at the moment of the panic, they were on the point of winning, might have marched to Richmond and .taken possession of it without resistance. And he ndds that large numbers there, now consider ed strong secessionists, would have rejoiced in their presence. A Sixgplau —The Surgeon of tho hospital at Alexandria, reports a singular case of suffering under his charge. A private, en gaged in the battle at Bull Run, had a cannon ball pass his face without touching him. lie felt a strong concussion of the air on his faccas it whistled past; but. regaining his equilibrium, he continued in his place until after the engage ment, suffering severely, however, With pain— His checks soon presented a swollen appear ance, with.increased pain. He was convoyedto the hospital, and put under proper treatment, but the surgeons have had great difficulty in’ preventing mortification of the parts affected— Experienced army officers state that deaths fre quently occur from bails passing without stri king the victim. A Fat Mas is Battue— During the battle at Bull Run an order was given to a New Eng land company to lie down and load, and only rise when in tho act of firing. During tho hot test of tlm conflict. Captain Taw observed a man standing while loading. “Contrary {q order,” exclaimed the Captain, “you must lie down while loading.” “The fact is, Captain,” said the man addressed, “I am so plagucy fat that if I lie down to load it lakes too long to get up again.” The Captain turned away with a smile, and left tho fat man to choose his own method of fighting. Arrest of a Bebel Agent with $2OO,- ’ 000 of a Confederate Loan. { Last Tuesday afternoon the New York Sur-; veyOr of Ports boarded tho steamer Persia at i Quarantine. On tho way up to the city intelli- j geooe was communicated to the Surveyor to the effect that a then named Thomas S. Scrrill was I a violent secessionist, and had stated to another | •passenger that ho waa returning from Europe with tho proceeds of a loan he had negotiated there for the Southern Confederacy. Ou the arrival of the steamer,at Jersey City the police officers made a thorough search ou the person and baggage of the passenger designated, and succeeded in finding £lO,OOO in Bank of Eng land notes, and' a largo number of letters- and other important papers, the contents of which leave no doubt that the information given to the Surveyor was correct.- Surveyor Andrews at once communicated with Secretary Chase who was in the city, and he commended the proceedings taken, and advi sed the arrest of Scrrill. Meanwhile the money and letters were taken to the Surveyor's offiej. The letters Lave been: read, and are discovered to he strongly secession in tone, and some of them suggest plans for breaking the blockade and supplying Liverpool with Cotton. These despatches leave no doubt as to the character of tho hearer anti render it probable that ihc money was a loan to tho “Confederate States,” -as he represented. : Several passengers by the Persia have volun ] tarily come forward, and made affidavits respect- I ing the secession talk of Sen-ill ou board of the } ship. Mr. Serrill is a New Orleans man. and | has been for years engaged in the Cotton busi ness. 110 is fifty years of age, and represented ito be wealthy. Some of the affidavits of passen j gers state positively that Serrill said the money ;in his possession was “a loan for the Confede , rate Stales.” Parson Browndow's Declarations.— Parson Brownlow publishes the annexed card: So far as we arc concerned, we can suspend our publication, in obedience to the dictates of tyranny and intolerance—we will yield to the demands of an armed mob—turn over to them our office, and what little property we have— deprive ourselves and a helpless family of small children of the necessary means of support-- and beg our bread from door to door among Union men who arc able to give—but we shall refuse, most obstinately refuse, to the day of our death, to think or speak favorably of such a Confederacy as this, or agree that honor, patriotism or love of- country, have influenced the men at its bead, who have plunged the coun try into this revolution! And whether our humble voice is hushed in death—whether our press ,is muzzled by the spirit of intolerance at Richmond, making this our last issue of a journal we have edited for a quarter of a century,-we beg all who may come after us and our paper, to credit no Secession falsehood that represent us as having changed our principles from those of an exalted devotion to the old Amebioax Uxios, and of undying hostility to those who would perpetrate its dis solution! Ft ex dish Acts of the Keuels.— The .Lou isville (Ky.) Democrat makes the following statement:—“ Me learn that some time last week two men from the First district went over to Camp Boone, to look around, and, per haps with the intention, of joining the rebel forces. Not liking the appearance of things there, they were about to leave, but were in formed they could not return. They were blindfolded, and would have been shot,'but for the interference of the Colonel in command.— These mfcn—one of Shorn named Jones, a man of family—were then taken over into Graves county, and blindfolded and shot. One died immediately, but the other lingered thirty-six hours, and although his wife was near him she was not permitted to minister to his sufferings. He lay in the sun, where shot, until death came to his relief 1 Can any Sepoy surpass in cru elty and mhnmanitysuch conduct as this?— There is the most trustworthy authority far this statement. The Famous Negro Regiment —Ou Friday a negro arrived in ou;‘ lines, anu was conducted to General Mansfield's office. Ho is one of the celebrated negro regiment. He fought at Bull Run, and made his escape with a servant of Beauregard, after the battle, and succeeded in reaching Point of Rocks, after groat privation. He states that a regiment, of one thousand slaves were brought from the Cotton States, and the perfection of their drill led to the or ganization of two regiments of nocroes from Southeastern Virginia. Before the battle they wore compelled to drill three hours a day, and for several hours besides, were pufto work in the entrenchments. At night they were penned up in the rear, and a strict guard placed over them. The Virginia negroes were nearly all anxious to escape, and would do so when oppor tunity occurred. Those from the Cotton States, however, were fearful of doing so, having been made to believe that their lives would bo in danger among our troops. An Auger Battery ! — Terrible outgivings of mysterious danger to the blockading vessels at New Orleans have transpired from time to-time in the rebel newspipers. The secret is out at last. The powerful tug-boat Bnoch Train has been fitted up at Algiers, with a shot-proof cov cring, a battering rain.’ at the bow, grappling irons under the ram,'and a steam auger below water-mark, under all. It is expected to run into the Brooklyn with a terrible bump, grapple to her and bqre a hole, with all the perforatory ferocity of a Mississippi mosquito, then draw off to a proper distance and butt away and bore again, aud so on. till the insect-bitten monster sinks helpless in the depths of the Gulf. Verily wo are a smart people—or were, until, the se cession of Algiers. Gen. Wool’s Policy— The Albany Evening Journal of the thirteenth says : “It is believed to be Gen. Wool's .policy to make the war ag gressive, He deems it wise to keep the enemy in suspense. To do so, ho would make such demonstrations upon the coasts of North Caro lina, Florida, Louisiana, &c, as would make it necessary for the rebel States to keep their ar mies at home instead of sending them to menace Washington. General James Shields* appointment as a Brigadier General of Volunteers, by the Presi dent, gives general satisfaction. He was Com missioner of the Land Office during tho admin istration of James K. Polk, a General of Divi sion daring tho Mexican War, and afterwards U. S. Senator from Illinois. fi@f"lf says Prentice, an army of such men a* Gen.
