Agate, and the Atlontio States, since lks deviators of the last steamer for Califorma. The Rebellion in Missouri. In Missouri a well-defined rebellion has been organized. The authorities of the State are arrayed against the authorities of the United States in the most open and determined man ner. Singular appliances are invented by Secession. North Carolina 'was whirled out of the Union, Virginia was frightened into treason, and Tennessee was driven into the Southern Confederacy at the point of the bayonet, and the same means were sought to be applied to the Commonwealths of Mary land, Kentucky, and Missouri. The patriotism of Governor Mons was the anchor which kept Maryland firm to her moorings. Ken tucky has been held by her own patriotic peo ple. Missouri has been saved by the sword. We ilo not know whether to consider Governor JAcusori, of Missouri, a knave or a feel. Certainly, in all our history we have not seen among public men an - instance of such an absolute want of prudence and honor. He has been a most bungling traitor. De, has shown himself a dishonorable man by his treat ment of General Haarrzy—an unprincipled politician by his perfidy to the Douglas De mocracy—a narrow-minded Governor by his foolish conflict with his own constituents, and a coward by his recent unmanly visit to St. Louis, and his precipitate flight from the metropolis of his own State. The champion of a bad MUM, he has overthrown that cause by his own recklessness. The head and front of treason in Missouri, he has brought ruin npon the treason he fostered and misery upon the people of the State with whose welfare he was entrusted. Every effort of Governor ,Lizicsorr in this plot of treason has been a failure. He cajoled the Legislature of Missouri into passing a military bill, which had the effect of placing the forces of the State at the disposal of the Secessionists, but General HARNEY imme diately nullified it by declaring that it should not ha executed. He seduced General Bau m into an arrangement which he had no in tention of observing, but that frank and brave °Meer was immediately superseded, and his programme disirowed by the Administration. He endeavored to induce General Lyon to eater into a similar understanding, but in the interview he sought with the General he was confronted with his own treachery, and firmly told that no compromise was to be made, and no concession accepted short of an immediate and unconditional submission to the General Government. Foiled in diplomacy, defeated in his treache ry, then came the insome proclamation which we published a few days ago. Its arguments were based upon the mo at radical theories of State allegiance I the presence of the Federal troops was declared an invasion of the State; the authority of the General Government was defied, its ministers denounced and insulted, and Any thousand men were called upon to take up arras and sustain him in the ezercise of his usurped authority. Bat, if we may credit the recent intelligence from Missouri, the rebellion of Gov. JACKSON has at last received its deathblow. General LYON has carried out his instructions with energy and promptitude. He has taught this desperate demagogue that treason cannot live within the range of the Federal artillery. We are informed that on Tuesday the General as panned the rebels at Booneville, under the im mediate command of Governor JACKSON, and, after a spirited contest, defeated them, killing three hundred of their troops and totally rout ing their army. The Governor himself er. caped, and is now a fugitive in some part of Ida State, or, :A perhaps in one of the neighbor ing slave States. General MON deberves great credit for his masterly management of this affair, and in gaining the victory of Booneville he has achieved the most brilliant success of this contest. The Executive chair of Bliasouri is now va- Cant, and upon the Convention of that State will devolve the duty of choosing the MC stager to Ciarsoans F. Jacnsces. Whether he will continue his contest, and wage a war with the Government, we do not know. Be certainly can have no forces to sustain bim ; he has no revenue to attract soldiers ; he is a fugitive from his capital, and a traitor against the Union. We cannot understand what motives prompt ed this bold, bad, foolish man to rash thus upon destruction. His career has been brief, his treason great, the retribution swift. He has brought misery upon his State, and gloom into many a household, only to gratify a mere spirit of wickedness. He might have known that it was not in the nature of things to drag Missouri from the Union. Bounded on the north, east and west by free territory, contain ing in her. midst a large proportion of loyal people, wedded in a great measure to free in tangos, cultivated by free labor, and en riched by the enterprise and friendship of free capital; almost a free State by every political and soalal consideration, with all her interests in the Confederacy and no inducements out of it, Missouri is as necessary to the Union as Illinois, lowa, orliansas. And in that 'Union she must and shall remain. The Policy of England The rulers of Great Britain are beginning to comprehend the real state of Maim in this Country, and the folly of espousing the infamous cause of the Southern traitors. It will be seen by our special despatches from Washington that Lord Llelte, yesterday, announced to the President that he had received despatches from his Government, in which a warm de sire t o maintain /timidly relations with us, and to avoid any officious interference with our internal affairs, was expressed. No nation can Ices afford to make precedents against her self in laver of rebellions movements than Great Britain, and we are glad that she is rea lising the injustice and impropriety of such a policy. The Law of Solon. SoLort's law against neutrality has been often referred to, of late..

The indications are that large harvests will reward the labors of the husbandman. From all parts of the Union we have the most grati fying intelligence in relation to the growing crops, and especially those on which our people mainly depend for means of anbahit ence. Throughout the West, and in the great grain-growing States between the Ohio river and the lakes, fears are occasionally expressed that the ravages of the army-worm and the other natural toes of the farmer will materially depreciate the quality and quantity of some of the harvests. Hopes are, however, freely en tertained that this evil will not be so great as is at present apprehended. In the seceded States, as we learn from the latest newspapers received, the 'prospects of an abundant yield are flattering. The farmers of Middle Tennessee have been unfortunate the last two years with their wheat, but now they expect to raise enough to compensate them for any losses they may have sustained. Fruit and vegetables are found everywhere in great profusion. The people of Alabama have twice the number of acres in wheat that were ever planted in a single year before, and in many counties the calculation is that the crop will average from twenty-five to thirty bushels per acre. From Mississippi we hear the same tidings, everything indicating a great harvest. In anticipation of hostilities, most of the Southern farmers have doubled their usual crepe of corn, and as the crop bids fair to be a good one, the yield of that staple must be itn mense. A Memphis journal, ,speculating on this record, thinks that, with the heavy rice and wheat crops, and with the fine prospects for corn, the people of the Southern States will have breadstnffs enough to last for two years, and that flour will not be more than six dollars per barrel when the growing crop is brought into market. From the counties of our own State we have, as a general thing, gratifying intelligence in relation to the crops, and especially those of grain and breadattlffs. Wheat has been looking badly in some of the districts frame diately around Philadelphia, but the warm sun of the last few days, and the rains which pre ceded it, are beginning to exhibit a gratifying effect. In the beginning of the spring we heard fears frequently expressed that the wheat would be a failure, but every indica tion now warrants the belief that our farmers will harvest an average crop. The effect of this on the market will be to lower the price of wheat, and to enable ns to stand the drain necessary to supply the necessities of the present war. In some parts of Lancaster county the Crop of wheat has been injured by the ravages of the Hessian fly, but no serious results to the aggregate yield are anticipated. The corn crop and hay crop will give a Urge harvest. The accounts from the agricultural districts of Europe are gratifying. The recent weather in England has been most advantageous to the crops, although it is said that barley, oats, aid grass were beginning to feel the want of rain. The harshness °ram soil, and the previous cold season, will delay if not injure the potato crop of Ireland. It is feared that wheat may have suffered in France, and the market has ex hibited evidences of apprehension as to the yield. From Belgium and Holland we hear nothing definite, and the absence of intelli gence leads us to believe that the farmers are growing average crops. Fine weather was much wanted in many parts of Germany, and as a consequence, prices of grain were either declining slowly or else not at all. The markets in Odessa and the Principalities, Spain, Egypt, and the countries of the Medi terranean, were, as a general thing, very dull. In Italy, however, abundant rain has fallen, and a large harvest is confidently expected. The existence of a state of war hi America has considerably decreased the available force at the disposal of our agricultural interests, but the energy of those who remain at home will go far to make up the deficiency of labor. We have large armies to feed, both North and South, and the resources of the country will be greatly taxed to supply their wants. The farmers have anticipated this necessity, and seem to be prepared for it. The lint est British Demonstration. The British Government has done at last under pressure, what ought have been done at first, without delay or hesitation. After consultation with the self-same "law officers of the Grown " who advised him to consider the rebellions Secession States gg as bellige rents," e., as already independent, even before they had any success, except the mise rable capture of Fort Sumpter), Lord Joan Russura and his colleagues have determined to direct that ships-of-war and privateers tg of both parties shall be interdicted from en tering any British port, home or colonial. The instructions sent to India, and to the Go vernors of the colonies, are as follows : " Her Majoaty'e Government are, as you are aware, desirous of observing the strictest neutrali. ty in the contest between the United States and the so styled Confederate States of North Ameri ca. With the view more thoroughly to carry out that principle, we purpose to interdiot the armed ships, and also the privateers, of both miles from carrying prises made by them into the ports, har bors, roadsteads, or waters of the United Kingdom or any of her Majesty's colonies or possessions abroad." The rebels, we suspect, will be highly in dignant at being contemptuously designated the so- called Confederate States. As the United States has issued no letters of margne, this order is apparently a particular bit at the revolted States. Lord aortu has obtained direct information what France means to da—namely, to act in conformity with its existing law, crionnded upon an ordinance passed in the year 1681; and the rule is, that, in case of a war in which France is neutral, no privateers are allowed to bring their prizes hate the ports or harbors of France or its dependencies for &longer pe riod than twenty-four hours. They are not allowed to sell the cargoes, or in any way to dispose of the prizes which they have taken;' and after the twenty-four hours have expired they are obliged to leave the port." England, we have pleasure in recording, has got out of a great blunder, much better and much sooner than was anticipated. The blan der apparent was the result of Lord Joan Rosszin's stupidity and mismanagement, which are too notorious, on most occasions where he has to act, for any comment here and now. From the concession which we 21+5% , notice, it is probable that Eng land will observe a decided neutrality during the unhappy contest in which bad men, ambi tious and traitorous, line involved this great nation. Dr. James SwaimPs Military Telegraph A few days since we adverted to the fact of Dr. dames awaim, of this pity, having returned home after an absence of some eight years in Europe, where he had introduced in various countries his military telegraph. His system has been endorsed by Major General aloCtenan, and bas received the sanction of Quartermaster General Airey, of the Horse Guards ; Major Fisher, of Wurtemberg General Courtigis, of Vincennes; Lieutenant General Downinau, of Woolwich ; Major Drown rlgg, of the Horse Guards; his Excellency Ahmed Pasha ; Assistant.Q.ctartermaster General Clifford, of the Chins expedition; J. Y. Meson, late minis ter to France; Nicholas. De Lowohosanet, minis ter of Russia; Prince Radeiwill, of Prussia, and numerous other persons of note in Europe. These fasts alone are sufficient to prove its great useful nests, and our Government should at once inquire into its efficiency now, as a signal telegraph or this kind can be made of groat service to our army. Dr. Swaim's system_susceptible of many sbanges, and requires no particular etady at all ; does away with all the minntire of having a staff particularly qualified for this purpose alone, and requires no expense. Tae patriotism of Dr. Swaim causes hizu to offer it gratuitously to the Government; and as his re turn home was principally that the army might have the advantage of it, this chance should not be permitted to pass by.

Lttz): 11 , 14 z 4 CO: Letter from "Occosiorol.” Klorreopondenoe of The rreu.l Wesumaroa, Jane 19,1881 Virginia has in truth bean converted into the battlefield upon which the fate of free and civi lised government is to be decided. While the monarchists are marching in their foram from the Cotton States, and selecting their positions upon the domain of the Old Dominion, the troops of the Republic are gathering In from the North and the West, from the Ohio, from the mountains of Pennsylvania, from the lakes, from the great At lantio States, and from the distant hills of New England. Maryland, so far from being averse to the presence of a portion of the army of the United States, sanctioned that occupation of her soil at the laid Congreesional election; and Virginia so far approves the course of the Administration in sustaining the laws and in vindicating its right to carry on the Government to which it has been legally chosen, that she has pronounced in the Wheeling Convention, in the name of hundreds of thousande of people, against her own domestic traitors, and in favor of the Executive, his Cabi net, and the cause of the eonntry. By means of their railroad coma:Pions with the Cotton States, a large military force has been thrown into the several camps of monarchical Dlsunionists. and it begins to become more and more certain that they will make at least one desperate attempt to show that most of their boasts of superior courage and martial experience are sincere. We are, therefore, looking for a contliot every hour. Bear in mind that we are almost within hearing of the guns of the traitors, and that their last at taek, or rather ambuscade, on a few companies of one of the Ohio regiments, took plane only some fifteen miles distant from Washington. This fact proves the necessity of the fortifications in and around Washington that have been so much ones. tinned by newspaper critics. There will be a good deal of marching and countermarching on the part of the generals of the adverse armies; but after the lessons which have recently been taught us, I think I may venture to say that the next engage ment will be one on a stupendous scale, and that its result will be a crushing defeat of the rebels— unless, indeed, they take counsel from these les sons, and retire from Manassas as they did from flarper's Ferry and Alexandria. The Niagara at Fort Pickens. tessoial Correroondenee of The Pram] U. S Smog PIUGATIZ NIAGARA. Of Island "Santa Rasa," May 27, 1861 Sot : When I last wrote we were steaming it along at pretty.brisk pane toward Havana, whore we arrived on the 19th inst. On our way to our an ohorage, in passing through the shipping, we no ticed two brigantines flying the Secession flag as impudently as possible at their respective mast heads, while on their topping•lifta floated two of the most diminutive ensigns, hardly discernible without the aid of the glass. We learned that our consul-general here, who is, byihe-bye, a strong Unionist, and "war to the knife" to all rebels, refused to give them their papers until the objec tionable please of bunting were transferred to him, which they refused, claiming them as private sig oak. After we had got snugly moored, our cap tain, imagining the view of the shore was some what marred by the aforesaid flags, sent an armed boat's crew to haul them down, which they did. The fast vessel boarded not appearing to acquiesce In the measure, was soon brought to change his mind, by the persuasive argument of a air-shooter in rather close proximity to hie cranium, and down went the flag, to tkeer great chagrin, but among the cheers and shouting" of the Union-loving ves sels in the immediate vicinity. The other one, taking warning by hie partner, hauled his down on demand, and the American flag once more waved proudly In the harbor of Havana, without haring its fair fame sullied by the i instapoeitlon of its rebel subject. On the following day we commenced coaling, and on the neat day the Crusader came in from Key West, from whom we heard a very pleasing ac count of their naafi:Lbws and efficiency, they having taken three suspected vessels already. After receiving their ordere theY took their de parture, we leaving on the following alternom for this place. During our stay in Havana, we were assured on all sides, by the inhabitants, of their warm feeling for our Government, and hopes that the rebels will soon be exterminated. No wonder, their greeted interests are at stake. There are more vessels there now than have ever been before waiting for nargoes, but the merchants are too fearful of Southern privateera, whtch they sup pos4 are on the alert to seise them when they make their appearance outside. But all vessels coming in report no Interference whatever. They are also very much inconvenienced by the irregu 'laity of the mails from the North, but the great bugbear Is the fear that Government may allow the Confederate States to exist, and if such a thing is allowed, dread (and with well-founded reason) an invasion and taking away of their island. Fe you see they have everything to gain by the upholding of our Government, and everything to lose if the rebels succeed. On Saturday morning we arrived here after a min of about airy hours, ending the frigate Sabine, steamers Brook Pourhatan, and Water Witch, and eters - alp Rdeesse, anchored here in positions capable of bringing their gone to bear on the rebels. We took our position so as not to be counted out when the ball opened, and dropped anchor, and, during the day, all the officers of the squadron took the oath of allegiance, administered by our captain, he being thy senior offioer of the squad ron, and, during the afternoon, the firooklyn and .Posohotww got under way, being detailed to other duty. The officers of Fort Plokens reported them selves aboard, and declared their ability to ex terminate the rebels, unaided, as soon es any ag gressive movement was made by them or they re eeieed orders from the Department. All they re quire le two vessels—one to epeak and overhaul strange sails Mending in, and us to lay cir Santa Bose, preventing the rebels from landing any forces on the island and attacking ihem in the rear. Yesterday some of oar etteers visited Piokens, and examined the preparations. They have re. salved the heavy battery of 001cribiads sent them, and have them mounted, and things are so arranged that they need not fear the loss of a single life, all being under cover, and the walla of the fort eon,• pletely protected by a sand fortification, only leaving room for the nintsles of the guns to run Out. Farther up on the island they have erected a sand battery, with six heavy guns mounted, which are manned by a plotted division of men from the Sabine, ready to open fire on the navy yard at the word. In the bay, a boat's crew now guard, to prevent a surprise. whilst boats of the squadron pull up the obannel, taking observations and soundings, and arm at times so close to the rebel shore as to hold conversation with the sentries, but as yet have not been interfered with. A few days ago the rebels were towing the dry dock out from the navy yard, and Colonel Brown, judging their motive was to sink it in the channel to prevent navigation, sent them word that if they moved it one foot further, either way, he would open Ere on them, and there they left it, out of the line of attaok, and will, fortnnately, escape de signation when we i6lliMolloo operations.

Mean:fres are in progress to that effect, and the Confedetisti forces will not be permitted to enjoy quiet posses. sion, many hours. The evacuation of Harper's Ferry has thrown a greater number of troops in this direction, affording opportunity for reinforce ments and for defending positions not hitherto oc cupied.

Submarine Telegraph for the Arum The Executive have ander consideration the laying of a "alma/Ina tblegreph lino from Fort ress Monroe to Point Lookout, seventy miles, or about half way up the Chesapeake Bay from the fortress. Tbe advantages claimed are twelve hours less tints in the transmission of messages, and greater tafety to the wires. The project is perfectly feasible, the only danger being the aloption of improperly prepared, but strongly reacmmended wires. Of these, a number have ,been invented and patented; but, like the transatlantic cable, being improperly constructed, they would, like that, only prove a failure and a lose.

At the battle of Waterloo, June 18. 1915, the Seventr-ninlh &etch Regiment of the British army stood undismayed amid the shook of battle, until almost the last man was ant down where they stood. There they stood, fearless and true, with the hope of that victory which finally crowned their banner. [Applanse.l I will tell you why they stood until scarcely a man was left. They were there to give an additional evidence in history of Scotch prowess and fidelity in the day of battle. Never before or since has the retreat of a Sootoh reglment been recorded. [Applause ] Nor will this the only Scotoh` regiment in the field for the stars and stripes turn fie bask in the time of trial. Confident in the righteousness of the cause in which they are engaged, they will fight to the last against the enemies of the country. [Ap.- please.] They will never disgrace the blood which fired the veins with noble ardor at CulloiOn. lo4SW-10-tisnie orne7;4ho said : Mr. President, this ii rather earl Yin the game to introduce an unofficial guest, when I me you lave your tomtit not yet read through; but inasmuch as my friend and "State man" has done me the -honor of asking me to speak, I will nay every few words. There is a noble characterietio in the scenes which are transpiring before us every day. Under the flag now upreared, the nationalities of every race and tongue of every civilisation and religion, are gathered todefend the sacred cause of American liberty. Applause J The Scotch, the Irish, the Italians, the Welsh, the English, the French—all in the ranks of the grand army. Where, upon God's footstool, has such an exhibi lion ever before been witnessed? Where, from ?the Crusades down? And worthy it is of the jeountry mid the cause. Civilization will stand amazed at this wonderful uprising of the people in defence of their free institutions. The monarchs of the Old World, and their imitators in the new, stand appalled at the sight. What has induced this sudden rally to arms at the call of the Government? The most Booted of instincts, the holiest of emotions—religion, law, liberty, faith, integrity, honor. It is these that induce the mechanic to leave his bench, the law yer his desk, the clergyman his pulpit, to go forth under the .fiag whioh was raised in the name of God and Freedom, and which will never be lowered. [Applause.] The issues involved in this contest Bap immortal Alba cannot falter now. They must take sides, either for or against the country. limitation now is treason, and peace is worse than treason, unless attained by the con quest of the foe, and by his complete humiliation. [Applause J I thank you for the kindness with which you have listened to me. I am glad you have con ferred the highest honor of the regiment upon a citizen of Pennsylvania, and 1 know after be shall have concluded to accept it, you wilefind in him all you exmot Indeed, I know you will.

[Great applause.] In lose than three months a quarter of million of armed men have bean put into the field, in response to the (tall of the President, to preserve the integrity of our free institutions, and before six months have rolled around, I have no doubt half a million enlisted in the same movement will be at the command of the Government, [Great applause. ] Thus, those who have been deeeived by their ambitious politicians will either wisely repent their follies, or will have to be swept before the indignant and overwhelming army that will soon be upon them. [Applause. We have pa tiently forborne the insolence and the tyranny of the Southern monarchists for more than a genera tion. The American people will bear it no longer. [Great applause.] Observe that when a Etioteh man, or an Irishman, or a German, comes to the United States, be merges his own nationality into the country that adopts him as a eon; and so, when this revolt le suppressed, and this war is ended, our beneficent Government will no longer be per plexed by doubtful questions. There will then be no more talk of Virginians, Marylanders, Penn sylvanians, or Mississippians. No, gentlemen, thank God ! we shall then be all Americans.

[Ap plause ] Talk about the weakness of this Government after all these manifeStatiOne of the spirit of our people! Why, it is the strongest Government to day in the world. It is the Government of the peo ple.

This army, whioh has been gathered, 'represents snob people.; and when Congress meets I am confident they will gladly ratify everything that has been done by the Presi dent and the Cabinet, under the extraordinary emergencies in whit& they have found themselves. [Applause ] On the other hand, the Government of the monarchists of the South ignores the people, and is already seeking_ for examplee among the despotisms of the Old World to conduct and corn hlate its experiment of demoralization. They ave no sympathy with the industrious and labor tog manses of our people. They live by the sweat of other men's brows—the sinews and muscles of other men feed them, and their misfortune is that they have done nothing but govern. Rare, in the grand army of the Republic, you find the tailor and the lawyer, the merchant, the clergyman, and the professor; all classes and trades mingle to gether, and are moved by the same inflnenoe, and resolved to protect and preserve the country which protects and preserves them.
