have each declined the proposition of the
Republican State Committees to make a

hendthe plainest sentenco in the English deemed entirely inadmiablo-"I.oyaUy
to tho Union confidence in tho Admin

the Democracy isnot quite prepared for tho

support of finy Administration,
JaJfTho pay of private soldiers in the
U.S. Army has been increased from $11
to $13 per month making an aggregate
annual increase of about $10,000,000.
Whon tho bill making this increase, of sol
diers pay camo from tho Senate, Mr.
'lhaddcus Stevens of Pa., Chairman of the
Committee of Ways nnd Means, made tho
remarkable declaration that "this bill
had conic upon us at a timo when our ex
penditures were already one million two hun
dred thousand and fi'Jty-six dollars per day,
and that he did not know where the money

This may have been a sharp blow at the

Ei'KoriAN Svmi'atiiv. lion. Joseph A.
Wright.lato Minister of the Unitod States
to 1'russia, ivns formally received by tho
Chambor of Commcrco of New York, one
day but week. Jn his remarks, Mr.
Wright warned his hearers not to expect
any sympathy from European Courts in
the present war against tho South
Wouth l.ooitsu Into. A geutloman at
Morrisdulo, in this county, whoso veracity
is not to bo doubted, informs us that the
Postmaster of that placo informed him tho
othor day, when ho hnndod him out his
last copy of tho Now Yo;k Pay Jlook, tk:it
lie "had authority to reluse to deliver se
cess-ion papers, that tho Day Book was a pa
per of this character, nnd ho would dnliv

There is but ono proper way of dealing
with such men, and wo mistake the chnr
s.ctcr of tho people ol Morris township if
they fail in this emergency. Let them
formally demand of the Postmaster his
alleged authority. If he fails to produce
it, report the facts to tho Postmaster Gen"
oral, to be dealt with as the Inr directs.
Should any protended authority bo pro
luccd, it i their duty as good and loyal
citizens, to let tho worm know n lu.t ana
why it is.

Tlui Latest from Misamiri General
Lyon's fiuecess Confirmed Retreat
of the enemy General Lyon Falls
Bark on fyrintjfield,
SrniNGFiELD. Mo., Aug 5. Advices from
Gen. Lyon's army to Sunday have been
received. 1 ho cavalry charge heretofore
repotted was made by a scouting party
sent out by Gen. Lyon to ascertain if the
enemy was approaching, alter our troops
had encamped for tho night at Dug
Springs. Seeing a regiment of Infantry
coming along tho road, the Lieutenant in
command cf the cuvalry ordered a charge,
which resulted in killing Unity of tho
rebels and wounding forty.
Tho charge was not intended by Gon.
Lyon, but probnbly prevented tho rebels
from attacking his ma:n bo:ly, when they
would unquestionably liavo been rooted
with severe loss. A largo body o! the en

Qi i.Ncr, 111.. Aug., 8th.- A band of Con
federates, numbering from 1,000 to 1,100,
made an attack upon tho camp of llio Un
ion uicu at Athens, Mo., on Monday unf
iling last, ut 5 o'clock. Tuero was a con
iideinble amount of arms and ammuni
tion for the Unitod States troops station
ed there, under guard of the troops com
'posing this camp ol United States Volun
teers numbering nbous thrcehundrcd men,
under command of Cupt. Moore.
The righting lasted about one hour,
ivhen tho Confederates retreated. Mean
time Cupi. Moore having been reinforced
by about 150 men from Centralis, Iowa,
on tho opposite side of the river, gave
cliase after them for about a milo ana a
half, killing one, taking eighteen prison
ers and capturing thirty ono hor.cs and a
couplio of secession Hags. Several Con fed
erates were wounded in the cliase rlter
tho battle, and six or eight were found
dead on the Held.
In the afternoon the bearer of a (lag of
truce came in from tho secession camp,
who admitted that they had carried oil'
fourteen of their killed, and as many more
wcro wounded or missing. The Conl'ed
wero led by Martin Groonc, a brother of
ex-senator Jim uioeiiB. Iho L nion men
had only three killed and eight wounded
ir. tho sk:runslt.
Athens is a small town in tho extreme
nortueaste.-n section of the Slate, on the
Desmoines river, 23 or o0 miles west of
Keokuk.
It is reported that the Union forces,
having been further reinforced by five or
six hundred troops from Iowa, marched

retreated.

Ifourpnporof the 31st' or any 'oilier
number containod spy remark bearing
Mich construction wo wore not, and are
not yet, awar'o of it. Tho only sentence
in that number, on the subject, was the
following, which we now re-produce, in
order that the Dispatch may have no excuse
lor f:iling to ppint out wherein wo havo
done injury to our soldier! :
"Tho two affairs at Bull Run have dom
otiBtrated not only that these Southerners
will stand their ground and light, but that
:hey can liht just as well as their broth
ers of the North j and if thero is ftny dif
ference, tkey understand tho business a
little better than we do."
Now hear what the New York Herald,
whoso support of the war policy of the
administration is above suspicion, sys on
this very subject : .
"They (the Southern officers) fought
with a bravery which casts tlip conduct
ot ir.e union ollicers into tho shade."
With the Dispatch, and all such Johu
lii'own orgaus and disciples, to bo a Detu
ne rat is to bo a secession id t ; and not to
endorse all tho monstrous usurpalious of
President Lincoln j yea, to exorcise the
i1reai'Kt rights of American freemen, is to
be a traitc to the Union and the Consti
tution ! We can tell thcsogcntlotnnn that
this attempt to inaugurate a rciyn ottrnr,

H-eU it tuay suit the atmosplHuo of Pitts

" UoytiiT " Aiib Lincolx. rrosident
Lincoln has found himself in a great deal
of double ever since ho crawled upon the
Chicago riatfortu. Gen. Scott snys he is
a good uinti, ilctalone--intimating that he
is being used by others. Mr. Itreckinridge
wiid tho samo thing of him the other day
in the Senate, adding that ho believed
him to bo "hottest j" and the late Senator
Douglas bus frequently expressed similar
lnngurge. All these expressions go to
bhow that if Mr, Lincoln is wrong it is
owing cither to mistaken judgemont, or
it is because ho is not ''let alone.
However cofrcct theso gentlemen mny
b3 in tlieir opinions, Mr. Lincoln km cer
tainly maintained his consistency ns an
advocate of Abolitionism and ngro equal
ity, to say nothing of secession and lisu
nionitm. Inhisinaugur.il address, the
following rcruarkablo passngo occursj
which, if our system of government is as
it was understood by 'Alexander Hamil
ton, and others who assisted in framing
our Constitution, is a complete vindica
tion of tho right of secession as claimed
by the Southern people. :
"This country with its institutions bo
long to tho pooplo who inhabit it; wheneva
thry shall grow tciary of the existing government
they coil exercise thoir constitutional
rightof amending it, Oft TIIE1U REVO
LUTIONARY RIGHT TO DISMEMBER
OR OVERTHROW IT."
If a Democrat would use such language
he would bo called a rank secessionist,
nnd JclT. Davis may search all the wri
ting of seccssiondom and nowhere
will ho find language so useful to bib pres
ent purpose.
sST Wo are pleased to chronicle tho
enemies to tho peoco and prosperity of
otir beloved country wo alludo to Major
General Horace Greely, and Major Goner
al Whisky. Whilo the former had control

up to the Pact!o of Hull Run, tho latter,
in a great mc.imirft, commanded tho Sol

Gen. Lyon had called out 2-"00 Home

the enemy would mako an immediate at

obliged to depend on forced cont:ibutions

It was generally remarked in Spring

confident of success in case of an attack.
He had no intrenrhments, but depended
upon his spledid artillery in the open
field.
Fifty wagons filled with provisions had
reached him.
