The arrest of -Colonel Frank Blair, by order of Major General Fremont, has directed publio atten tion in a marked degree to affairs in Missouri, and the daily readers of your oolumns will, doubtless, expect to hear something of the causes of the arrest. The wide-spread reputation of Colonel Blair as a statesman, his known devoted loyalty to the Go vernment, and the active and prominent part which he took in endeavoring to suppress the rebellion in Missouri at its inception, necessarily make his ar rest a subject not only of national surprise, but of natio* concern, and hence, an anxiety to learn the cause of the arrest will naturally seize the public mindthroughout the country. . M a solution of this matter involves an. inquiry into the management of the military' department of the West, it is but proper to state, before entering upoa suck an undertakmg, that I have been a rest den; of Missouri for upwards of twenty years; supported the election of Mr. Lincoln, and now we:lily advocate a vigorous prosecution of the war as the only means of putting down an un riglgeons and uncalled-for rebellion. I have re. caked no favor from Mr. Lincoln, Colonel Blair, Or General Fremont, and hEttoe hover ached for, nor been in anywise interested in, any Government contract, and must, therefore, claim for this pro diction the merit of candor at least. About the middle of July, Gen. Lyon, who had driven the rebel forces into Arkansas ' encamped with an army of five thousand men at Springfield, tie key to Southwestern Missouri. He soon learned that Price and McCulloch were actively maned in collecting an army to give him battle, weeld march upon him with a force of at least tventy or thirty thousand. Gen. Lyon telegraphed GI stair, who was then at Washington, urging the llovernment for reinforcements. Col. Blair forwarded the despatch to Gen. Fremont, who was than in the city of New York, but expecting daily to leave for St. Louis. He did not reach St. Loris, however, until the 26th, on which day he toik oommand of the Department of the West. On hb arrival here he found messen?ers awaiting him from lien Lyon, calling for reinforcements, and dt k ikig that unleee reinforced it would ' , be impossi bb to hold Ids position. rhea° appeals Tor aid were seconded by promi neat Union man from different sections of the State, wlo informed Gen. Fremont that the people of the southwest were loyal to the Government ; but if per nated_tsi be overrun by the hordes of Price and MeCiallooh; would be compelled to abandon their hone?, or run the risk of being butchered with their faxoheqn cold blood. These appeals met with no favorable response, suil the - brave and undaunted Lyon was left with ne alternative but to fall back upon Rolla, and en deavor to secure his little heroic band. This, however, could not be accomplished without first crippling the enemy so as to prevent pursuit. Gen. Lyon therefore attacked the rebel force, num beingwenty-five thousand, on the 10th of August, the r t and details of which engagement are too We known to the country to need a repetition of the at this time. Suffice it to say that, after c i d fighthegkiWith a bravery and determination that would have done credit to veterans, our little army largely reduced in numbers, and without the means ofailing themselves of their victory, commenced an erly retreat in the direction of Rolla, leaving Son western Missouri in the hands of the rebels. ri d Ala period of the battle when a gloomy doubt as te the result pervaded all minds General Lyon aleigVered a company apparently awaiting Orders_ prim had they been charged, and -twice the enemy reputed, but with a loss of every officer. Anxious again to meet the foe, they called on General Lyon for alleader, and the hero nobly responded, "I will be yhir leader—follow me, my brave lads," and while, leading them upon the enemy, fell from his horse iiierced with a dozen bullets; and thus pe rißhedes brave a man, and as true a patriot as eves drew t sword in defence of his country. His death was akierifice rendered necessary by the culpable negligonce of those who ha# the power to but did not reliferce him. It bilk° to General Fremont to say that he rests his dehnce upon the ground that he was without the means to reinforce him ; but the facts of the case, Well known and well authenticated, afford no proof ti sustain the defence. The fact that it was a militery blunder is too apparent to be disguised. learned. fell into a trap that had been ingeniously laid foritim by the enemy. Knowing the incalcu lable in4ortance of Springfield above all others in the Wes\ as a military point, General Pillow, with an lye divert the attention of Fremont from Springfield, made a feint upon Bird's Point, and succeeded even beyond his expeetationa; for Fri_ moatimPediately started down the river with a fleet of steamers and sin thousand men, and when be reached there found everything safe, and no enemy tot contend with. A backward movement was thi *suit. Pillowleould not have taken Bird's Point if he had Toad) the attempt, for it was well protected by the batteries at Cairo, and even if he had suc ceeded, iii could not have retained it any length of time. Thi abandonment of Springfield for Bird's Point wi _by DO Mean a neOOSSity, for Fremont had two rertments then at Rolla—Colonel Wyman's I and Colon d Stevenson's. Rolla is a small village, of about thee hundred inhabitants, located at the presentterninus of the southwestern branch of the Pacific Ra4oad, and about one hundred and twenty miles from Springfield. It is a place of no im portance shimmer, unmenaced by and almost ht- I osinemilole b thy enemy. Bad these two regiments been orderid to march to the relief - of Lyon, they / would halt reached Springfield a week before the battle l it is the opinion of military men who participat in the engagement that with the aid of these regi nts Lyon would- have routed the ene my and 'm tallied his position at Springfield. In addition to this fact ' several regiments were kik*. ' , enlis t bosia 62 several thousand home guards well drilled 'old armed. Fourteen days intervened between the arrival of Gen. Fretnont at St. Louis and the day of battle, while not exceeding six days could possiblr have been Teguired to transport troops from Si. Louis to Springfield. Yet not a man was sent These facts speak for themselves, and point with unerring certainty to the responsi ble p . arty. Bat great as the blunder was, it was still in the po . wer of Gen. Fremont to save the State from bong overrun by the rebel troops. lied be sent five IngiS thousand men (not half of hie then available force here) to Rolla, to join the re -treating force of Sigel, and ordered the army to march back In Springfield , he would have re taken the plac and forced Price into Arkansas, for`licenilooh ad already retired into Arkansas, and Price had to force sufficient to make a success ful resistance. '1 A bold move ,f this kind was not only practica ble, but actualy expected by the rebels, who di vided their forms, and scattered over the country. It was not nail Price learned that no forward movement from here was in contemplation, that he conceived the idea of reuniting his forces, and marching nponj Lexiniton. He passed through St. Visit, and Henry counties, and on his way obtained large accessions to his army. His march northwardy towards the Missouri river was well known here several weeks before he reached Lexington, and 16) progress almost daily chronicled ;lathe press. His advance upon Warrensburg, a co Immediately south of, and about 35 miles Wart from, Lexington, was known here as early as the sth of September. On the 9th he encamped at. Warrensburg, awaiting reinforcements from Greene and Harris, who were then on the north side -of the Misisairi river. On the 10th, Greene crossed the river et Glasgow, with a force of 3,500, and Harris, with 1.,500, cros sed a little higher up, and infiirmation d the same reached Bt. Louis on the 12th, , 0n the 12th the,Federal pickets were driven in by Price's advance column of 5,000 men, and yet, tipto this time, noeffort was made to reinforoe Mul ligan; though Fremont had the Missouri river and two railroads by which to transport troops, of which he had here at that time at least 20,000. If he had sent them to Cameron by the North Missouri road, or to Sedalia by tie Pacific road, they would have • been within two days env march of Lexington; and yet, strange to say, Mulligan, without being reinforced, held oat until the 20th, when, from pure exhaustion, he was compelled to surrender to a force of near twenty thousand. Price oat off his communication willitlhe river, and for two days did the gallant:Mulligan and his Spartan band fight without a drop of water to quench their thirst. The fall of Lexisgton, , and its terrible conga quinces, are known to all. The capture of 3,500 men, 4,000 arms and as many eider arms, 2,000 horses, 'all the Federal artillery, baggage, baggage wagons, provisions, aminunition, and nearly half a million dollars in gold, are! trifling in comparison to the fact that our defeat has given the rebels possession of fonr-fiftha of the 'State, and caused (Hama), to sink deep into the hearts of Union men everywhere. The reinforcement of Lexington could have been accomplished without the *lightest difficulty, and why It was not done is a mystery to no all. But you will ask, what has all that to do with the arrest of Colonel Blair? It has everything to do with it, as I shall proceed to show. The Department of the West was assigned to Gs heral riement at the urgent solicit:idea et Weald FROM THE SOUTH. Blair, and the Postmaster General. Colonel Blair knew that it was of the utmost importance to Place at the head of this department a man of indomita ble energa, and he supposed that General Fremont possessed this qualification in an eminent degree. He knew that Fremont was without a military edu cation, and could claim but little, if any, military experience, but he naturally concluded that he would be surrounded by men of military renown, whose opinions and advice would form the basis of his operations. Itnever occurred to him that Fre mont was bigoted in his opinions, and as a military leader would be likely to plan a campaign in con travention of the views of all others, and in conflict with well-established principles of military science. Colonel Blair returned from Washington soon after the adjournment of Congress, and upon careful in quiry found that the omission to reinforce Lyon was a palpable neglectof duty, yet he earefullyavoided raising an issue with Fremont in regard to it, hut at the General's request, freely consulted and advised with him about future operations. Colonel Blair insisted that an army should be sent to Springfield before Price could recover from his crippled condi tion, and thus secure to the Union cause Southwestern Missouri. Fremont thought differently. Colonel Blair advocated the reinforcement of Lexington as Price was advancing towards that point. Gen. Fremont could not see the necessity of it. Col. Blair was of the opinion that the only . method of putting down the rebellion in Missouri was to at tack the Secessionists wherever found in arms against the Government and drive them beyond the borders of the State, while Gen. Fremont seemed disposed to adopt a defensive policy alone. Blair remonstrated with him, but remonstrated in vain. He predicted the results which have since followed, and it soon became with him a settled conviction that Gen. Fremont was incompetent to have the cbarge of so important a command. He plainly saw that without a change in the policy of Fremont Missouri was irretrievably lost. He very frankly told Gen. Fremont that he should write to be President and advice him of his conclusions. Mrs. Fremont was immediately sent to Washing ton to procure copies of his letters, and before her return Col. Blair was placed under arrest for the alleged violation of an order which it is Bald watt 'made by Fremont, prohibiting any officer from cor responding with the President or head's of depart .ments, in relation to matters in this military di vision, without first submitting the letters to the commander-in:thief fOr his approval. It would 'puzzle the ingenuity of the most astute lawyer to find from what source Fremont obtains his authority to enforce such an order. But Frank cares but little for the order, ILI he was requested by the President to keep him advised of what was going on in this department. The fact that General Fremont had declined all interviews with the prominent Union men of the State, who called upon him for the sole purpose of imparting valuable and necessary information in regard to the condition of affairs in the interior, was also a source of much pain to Colonel Blair, who , well knew that Fremont, surrounded as he was by Italians, Hungarians, and California speculators, bad no means of posting himself in regard to the opinions and sentiments of the people of the State. The fact, also, that millions upon millions of dol lars over and above the actual and necessary wants of the department are being expended here, chiefly for the benefit of peculators and sharks, is also a source of much anxiety to Colonel Blair. But this, together with the regal state in which our military head lives and moves, maypossibly form the theme of another communication from Your obedient servant, Movements of the Troops. JEFFERSON CITY, Oct. s:—L,SpeOial to the St. . Louis Demoerat.l—Little doubt is entertained here that General Price is on his way South with the main body of his army, the force reported to be making demonstrations near Georgetown and Se dalia, being merely a detachment for the purpose. When last heard from, General Pricers- advance guard was at Clinton, in Henry county. It is-sup posed Price will push to the Arkansasline. General Fremont will follow him closely, and give him battle wherever he can find him. A force of between three and four thousand re bel cavalry were seen near Lipton to-day, whose object is presumed to be to get between our ad vane and this place, and fall upon some stray re giment or transportation train going out. Colonel Coffee, of Booneville, passed through here the other day for St. Louis , but it has been as certained that he is on his way South with important documents, containing the official record of the proceedings of the Mock Legislature, held at Lex ington recently. A scout from Linn Creek reportathe probable death of the notorious rebel. leader,.Rev. Miskel Johnson, who, while moving some of Dupont da Co.'s powder, on Friday night, was dangerously wounded by the explosion of one of the kegs. General Fremont and staff will probably leave for Sedalia to-morrow. JEFFERSON CITY, OCt. 6t—f,Special to the St. Louis Reiiblieetn.l—lt seems to be the belief in military circles here, that General Price will avoid a battle with Fremont if possible;: but others en tertain the opinion that he intends-a surprise upon some point the least protected, and that we shall 'base a fight in a few days. General Fremont intendeto follow the rebel army, into Arkansas, and force them to fight wherever he can encounter ,them. The paymasters, who brought $1,200,000 to pay off the troops to the 31st of August, have discharged their duty, and returned to St. Claib Jackson is reported to be on the way to Texas. The farmers of Pettis county recently offered. to furnish Gen. Fairmont, gratis, with 0250,000 worth of grain for his army. Captain Champion, the rebel who was here lest week, has been arrested as a spy, at Georgetown, andjs now a prisoner. - FROM FORTRESS. MOMOE. FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. 6, via Baltimore.—The steamer Spanlding has sailed for I:fattens Inlet with 500 troops. Gen. Wool returned to Old Point this morning, and wiil doubtless remain here. Gen. Mansfield goes to Hatteras Inlet on the Spaulding, to assume the chief command there. Mr. Fox, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, the Assistant Postmaster General, and others, have spent the day at Old Point. Mr. Fos. came down on the steamer Phidade/p/iia, direct from Wash ington, with ordnance stores, and left at 4 o'clock P. M., after an interview with Commander Golds borough. John Clark, late editor of the Boston Cburier, was on board the propeller .Finny, but left with the first beat load of stores ) and thus escaped being made prisoner. The captain of the Fanny is severely censured, as it appears that the rebel vessels were not seem until they were within four miles of the propeller. On Thursday morning two tug boats, having the Saisqueltanna's launches in tow, laden with the remaining stores of the Twentieth Indiana Regi ment, left Hatteras Inlet for the encampment of the regiment; but it was rumored before the sail ing of the Palienee that they hat. abandoned their position, and were oa their way bask to Hattersut Inlet. The steamer Loussionza, which arrived at Balti more on Sunday, brings the following intelligence.: The report of the steamer ilferrvmac- having been encased with railroad iron, pprobably that s stolen from the track near arg, is con firmed by the pasengers from Norfolk. She also brings further intelligence about the steam-tug Fanny, whose capture by the rebeishu been noticed. Captain Munson, who: was in com, mend, has made his report to General Mansfield, who is considering the same. She had reached her destination, and one small boat loed of stores had been landed when the attack was made. A num ber of shots were exchanged, but the soldiers on board the tug were inexperienced in working the Sawyer guns, one of whisk was beam and the alms Iran and consequently had no eleot , whilst Mae shot from the enemy carried away the smoke-Mack of the Fanny. A part of her cargo consisted of 250 of Sawyer s shells, 75,000 canister shot; 1,000 overcoats, 1,000 dress coats, 1,000 pairs of pantaknms, and 1000 pairs of shoes. The steamers which attacked her were the Northampton, a fast eide-wiseel steamer recently built at this port, the side-wheel steamer Coffee,_and a steamer with water-wheel at her stern. All three were pretty well filled with rebel troops. The valuable stores which fell into the hands of the captors are estimated at $35,000. The S. H. Spauld lag, Captain Howes, would steam up to-day and carry down to Hatteras Inlet the remaining three companies of the Twentieth Indiana Regiment. The steamship Minnesota is about going up to Newport News, while the frigate Merrsmac, it is reported, has been repaired and heavily armed, at Norfolk, and h one of the vessels prepared to run the blockade at the first opportunity. There are now only three ships of-war and gunboats at Old Point and Newport News, the others having been ordered to rendezvous at some points on the South ern coast. The Pawnee loft Old Point on Satur day for Washington, and the George Peabody has just reached Old Point from New York, with a va luable cargoof army stores. THE WAR IN WESTERN VIRGINIA. The Late Engagements in this Quarter Dow Lee was Outgeneraled—Cowardiee of the Tennessee Rebels—How Mount Vernon Washington met his Death— Gen. Reynolds—Capt. Loomis. (Special Correapauclenge of the Cluoinuati Timm.) 11. S. CAMP ON ELSCREEIC Sept 26. Late events in this quarter have not been as fully given to the country as their importance demands. The object of Lee was to get into Tygart Valley, and once there, with a large force, he could have advanced without much trouble to Grafton and Clarksburg, the principal military depots in West ern 'Urania. He advanced with an army variously estimated from 15,000 to 25,000. He marched up the Staunton pike, and once in the vicinity of Cheat Mountain had two roads, both of which lead into the valley. These were the Staunton and Beverly turnpike and the Huttonsville road, the former descending the mountains, and the other running through Elkwater valley and Kuttonaviilo. At both these roads General Reynolds disputed Lee's passage. His obstructions to Cheat Mountain Pass were formidable fortifications on the top of the mountain. Lee's military eye at once saw ha mild not pass there. He made an effort to take. the workshy &stealthy night T march up a steep side of the mountain. Two regiments were thrown through the dense forests, a dark, stormy night, on the Side of the mountain, to an available point of attack. It is now supposed that Lee's rupose was to saorificte those two . regiments by d.rairmgapon theca rho en tire fire ,of our fore's, while' his , malts ooluint stormed the opposite side. His movement.was de tected by a trifling *incident Gen. Reynolds, at Elkvrater, was in telegraphic communication with the mountain. The rebels cut the wire early in the evening, and their operater;attaohink his machine; inquired the force at Elkwater. Gen. Reyholds was, at the time, in the telegraph office, and im mediately suspected the truth, and at once ordered two regiments to the mountain, with instructions to cut their way through. In the meantime; the rebels had met a wagon train on its w ay to the mountains, and immediately murder sevesed teamsters, and endeavored to capture the hot Some esoaped, however, and parried the al arm t o the itteuntaine. TWO CENTS. The force ordered up made their way ever the mountain in a drenching etorm ) encountered the enemy and drove them back with great slaughter, with little lose on our aide. In the meantime tee, while menacing Elkwater in the front, made an effort to outflank the force at Elkwater. He succeeded in capturing Benee'a company of the Sixth (through the negligener r i am satisfied, of the captain), and succeeded its throwing a force of their regiments into a valley Which leads to the rear of the fortifications, They were Tennessee regiments. The pickets gave the alarm ; three companies rallied, gave fight, and sent the rebels flying out of the valley. They were pursued some distance, and ran like race-horses, throwing away coats, blankets; and knapsacks to accelerate their flight. Oar troops lay in the entrenchments three days and nights, at Elkwater, momentarily expecting an attack. The rebels, however, did not advance in force nearer than two miles. Whenever orar picket companies could get a shot at them,- the, let them have it, and they ,6 whacked" it to them at every pop. Captain Loomis, of the Michigan artillery, had charge of that branch of the service at these- for tifications He is a splendid artillerist, ands &sol dier all over. He ordered a few light pieeetto a knoll at the elbow of the valley, where wlth , raghass he could observe occasional/3 , the enemy above. At every favorable opportunity he threw al shell among them, snaking sad havoc with almost every shot. The residents of the neighborhood state that one shell fell within five feet of General Lee, but did not explode. While Captain Loomis wasthrit playing with his shells, he discovered a point ate which skirmishers might be useful. A company' of Indianians was sent out, and crept cautioualy up the hill. They had scarcely readied the imam% when • they heard the approach of mounted men. They. dodged into the bushes but were discovered. The horsemen wheeled and put spurs to their horses. The skirmishers knew from the magnificent style of the dress, that these officers did not belong to our camp, and blazed away at them. One fell from his horse, and another toppled, but was held on his horse by his comrades and escaped. It was thus that the traitor Washington was killed. Three shots went into his back, and all passed through his breast. He was killed with his back to the foe. He was dressed in a style of great richness, so much so, that the men who brought him in supposed he was the commander of the army. Everything about ,his dress, down to his spurs, was of the moat costly character. The wounded otricer allot at the same time, was Major Lee, son of the gene ral. It is almost certain the wound was fatal. Fer three days and nights our troops lay in the' entrenchments expecting an attack. It would have been a sorry day for the rebels when they entered the valley. But they did not come. After vainly endeavoring to flank us, Lee ordered a retreat, of the opinion, no doubt, that our Hoosier general is a bard nut to crack. When the retreat was announced, our troops were more disappointed than rejoice& Imitating the spirit of the general, they determined to hold the enemy in cheek or die, and they felt they had been cheated out of a little glory. Since the retreat our scouts have been on a sharp look-out for the enemy, and it is reasonable to sup pose Gen. Reynolds knows where they are, and will not allow him to keep too far away. There are movemets to-night which indicate that something is going to happen, and probably before this letter reaches you I may telegraph the particulars of an engagement_ Our troops are " spinal for a fight," and the general is desirous to accommodate them. In company with Major Christopher, I rode, this morning, up the valley, past several of the en campments and the fortifications. The view down the valley, the white tenth spotting the award, and moving regularly beside the silvery water of the Tygart, is indeed an inspiring scene. As we looked down upon it, the strains of a regimental band echoed and re-echoed through the valleys, adding not a little to the interest of the scene. This is about as busy and as bustling a little camp as you will find anywhere. General Reynolds, like his troops, is camped out. A comfortable dwelling-house is used as headquar ters, but the general is seldom there. Ills tent is his dwelling and his business house. His usual dress is that of the common soldier—blue blouse and felt hat. A correspondent of the Herald, in describing the above engagement, says : I will here state that Colonel John A. Washing ton was killed by a party of ten men under com mand of Sergeant John J. Weiler, of Company E, Seventeenth Indiana Regiment. In the same skir mish it is almost certain that Weiler and his party wounded some others of the staff•oirleers of tittle sal Lee. Here I will give you some facts in detail in regard to the engagements. Colonels Kimball, Ammen, andJenes, of the Fourteenth Indiana, the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Ohio, bravely de fended Cheat Mountain Summit, on the Staunton Pike, and repulsed the enemy under General An derson with much loss of life, clothing, knapsacks, dm. Colonels Wagner, of the Fifteenth Indiana Regiment, Hawaii, of the Seventeenth Indiana Regiment, Marrow, of the Third Ohio Regiment, Anderson, of the Sixth Ohio Regiment, together with Loomiebattery and Bracken a cavalry, drove the rebels, under General Lee, out of Tygart's Val ley, while Colonel Sullivan, of the Thirteenth In diana, and.Coh Moss, of the Second Virginia, drove the enemy out of the mountain between our two positions, one on the Staunton and the other on the Huntersville road, at Elk Water. Never was an arrangement-better made than that of General Rey nolds to keep-lc:omit of this valley (Tygart's Val ley.) The people of Western Virginia will long remember the-efforts and success of General Rey nolds and the officers under. his command for their faithfulness- in keeping Lee and his 20,000 rebels out of this beautiful valley. Never have men and officers labored more faithfully than those under com mand of General Reynolds. It would be wrong to particularize anyone, hence, let me assure you that never have soldiers behaved better than those en gaged in defending this Flit of Western Virginia againt rebel invasion. The Union load, killect,'js comparatively mall, while that of the rebels was heavy,.id vi‘o take the admissions of prisoners. • The enemy have fled the wrath to come in hot haste. Where they are and where they will stop God only knows. One thing is certain, I think, Jett. Davis will not pit Lee against Reynolds again—not soon, at least. AFFAIRS ON THE POTOMAC. From the Upper Potomac. Deanzsrown, Oct. 4.—This morning and during the middle hours of the day guns were repeatedly heard in the direction of Conrad's Ferry. At three o'clock this afternoon General Trltnke rode thither, and has not yet returned. It is supposed that the firing was from ourguns, to protect the preparations said to be progressing there for crossing the river. The First Brigade, commanded by General Aber erombie, is now resting near Dawsonville. Many of the Union farmers complain of the tyranny and impositions of persons connected with the regimental supply trains, who, they state, take everything from them in the shape of fodder, grain, &c., leaving none for their own stock daring the approaching winter, and if expoetulated with, receive for answer, "T hen sell your stook to the 4overzreent." The health of thi4division continued good From the Lower Potomac. WASIIIICGTON, October 7.—The steamer Phaa delpkia, Captain Reynolds, arrived at the navy yard, this morning, from Fortress Monroe. All was quiet along the river. The stinuner ltimfara will go to Fortress Monroe to•day with a large quantity of heavy shot and shell. The United States steamer Pawnee is at the navy yard for some slight repairs. Captain Dove, late of the Pocahontas, has been ordered to the Western waters for duty. The tamer Pocahontas is At the navy yard to exel ge her present armament for a heavier one. - - SOUTHERN. NEWS. The Seizure of Missisgivio City---Im portance Of. the. YOSt. A gentleman named Chas. Ransom, from Boston, arrived in Cincinnati on. Friday night, by way of Cairo and Union City, from. New Orleans, having left the latter place on the 29th of September. As be has been in New Orleans for over three years, be experienced little difficulty in reaching Ben tuoky, but in order to pass. the Confederate lines be was obliged to resort. to .strategy ; pretend that he had important busineas. a short distance in the interiotof Kentucky, mamba had formerly lived, in that vicinity, he waa enabled completely to de ceive the rebel officers,. wholad no doubt of his Southern nativity and:Secession sympathy. Be fully confirms the reported capture of Mis sissippi City by the United States troops, but so secretly has the expedition been managed, that it is impossible to tell how many troops have been landed there, or by whom they are commanded ; but it is generally believed that there is force enough to hold the place until reinforcements ar rive, which are momentarily expected. The greatest consternation prevails throughout the. South, and particidarly at New Orleans.. The first announcement of the seizure of Mississippi, City was received in the latter place, and believed but, afterward,. it was oontradicted, and a general. rejoicing and furious "drunk" ensued; but while they were in the midst of their conviviality, con firmation of the rumor arrived, and the defies elms conscurent thereon was correspondingly great. The importance of the capture cannot be over rated.

Democracy and 'Treason [For The Press.] No language is strong enough to express the hu miliation with which every true Democrat sees the honored name of "Democracy" converted into a mask for traitors. It would be some satisfaction if we could believe that this accursed crime of secret treason to our Government Waft emnewhist evenly divided among the different party organisation', al is the case with, the ordinary catalogue of lima& crimes. But it can neither be denied nor gainsaid that the foul element of secession now cowardly lurking in our Northern 'communities, is not to be found in any political organization except in the De mocratic party. Witness the editors of the New York.. Daily News, the New York Day Book, the Journal of Commerce, the Freeman's Appeal, and of the disloyal country papers hero and there throughout the North, Deintocrato all, WWl= the ehameful cry of "peace" whielroomes to our ears in our daily walks from this class of Democrats, while our Rational flag is trampled under foot, our stolen forts, ships, and mints remain uxuecialmed. and thousands of loyal citizena l plundered and per secuted by rebels, remain unredressed. Witness the untimely and insulting croaking at every dim-. ter which our cause sustains, however smell it may. be. The only trouble is, that these men are toe. cowardly to proclaim openly their principles and; sympathies, or they would be appedilyoverbome by. the loyal and patriotic of our own party. But, as it is, while the Democratic paaty.of this city is in the hands ofßreokinridge ex-office-holders; while out of twenty-five on the city executive committee, nine teen 4re Zreckinridge ex-oirmiale, what true Da= moorat, alive to the perils and demands of his country, especially what Boughis Democrat, can vote the ticket prescribed by. this double-fseed junto? Shall 'these men basely make a curtaia.of the stars and stripes to bide. the treachery that lurks behind ? Shall we, for fear of being called traitors to our party, become. traitors to oar country? Can you vote for the men who exulted over the death of our patriotic Madera, and Iwhe gloried in the defeat of the breve L a a word, can you vote for men who sympathised with Breckinridge in his treason as be spoke it in the Senate House, and as he is now practising it in the rebel States? If so, God help you. As fer me, caring nothing who may have voted for.Dongla" or for Lincoln, I am willing to eschew .party, hour of my country's need, and shall r ote for no man who is not a thorough, determined, outspoken Union man. A DougraLa Daneoziar. Our "Special" LL. D. [From the London Daily Telegraph.] The letters of Mr. Russell to the London Times' have afforded a fruitful subject for comment during the last few days, We have just received those descriptive of the rent at Bull Rum .and the grand result of the eritielme upon them is not at all We. ruble to Mr. Russell's reliability as.an historian. In fact, people.are more inclined than ever to be lieve the stories. which were ro freely circulated during the Indian and . Crimean wars, of the ex tretneetuzietywhish he always disp layed to keep out of. h,arnes. way himself, whale-he retied cis others ..I:pr fasts aritich:Ass pea couldso skilful ly meats Isessher. Now, iu iiit44ing %mire acoouni, one cannot help regretting that the national forces.. did not have a few leaders-so preeminent for coolness and bravery, since such men would have undoubtedly stemmed that mad night, and made. the rout an orderly retreat.. But a gentleman who. Bawl*. Russell at Centreville when the re treat had but just commenced, tells me that the trepidation which he then displayed, and the eagerness- which he manifested to press on to liraakington t did not indstato &Lot sublimity of eaalnees and indtprenco to. oraenai dancer which, his letter would indicant that he ezhabi ted. Then, the editor of the Chicago Tribune, a perfectly reliable man, who accompanied Mr. Russell in his masterly retreat to the Long Bridge, has published a, statement analyzing the letter descriptive of the rout, and showing that the writer of it could not pcaribty have witnessed the scenes which he pretends to desoribe with such accuracy and fidelity. They did not trans pire until an hour or two, after he had passed the localities where he statetthat they occurred. Then, it strikes the casual reader as rather impertinent, to say the least, on thelpui of the veracious chront (der, to assert that thenational troops did not take a single battery or make a solitary bayonet charge during the entire days lighting, when,, according to his own account, he was at no time within four miles of the battlhield, and did not see-any of the fighting which he so emphatically dis orarages. But thaecursoy and deliberate misre presentation are- by no means the moat serious charges preferred against Mr. Russell. Among the letters founds en the person of Mr..Mure, who was arrested as the Persia was leaning for her last outward blip, was one showing Got the British consul at Charleston had been infoinned of the substance of Mr. Russell's report ot the rout, turd that it was the theme of common converonnon is that oily long before we received it here. Ottepi cions have brat widely expressedi since this faet came to light, that important information may, have re td . the rebels through the same ehan-. nel. It was even rumored at one time that the. Government entertained this. belief, and that it, had refused to extend Mr. Russell the courtesy ot a pass across the Potomac. lie denies this state ment, however, in a card l i nblished over his.owii. signal ere. Whatever thy. bets regarding Mr.. Rnaseil'a powers of retioeto may be, it is certain, that but little faith it.-11.11 to hts a, chronicler. MVRDER Ix Woowtnxbar; N.
