Buiwer on American Politics.
The opinion of BULWER, the author, upon
any question, would be considered with atten
tion, became his litovaiy capacity and stand
ing are great, but when he pronounces judg
ment upon the great issues in this country, at
this time, it must be remembered that he is a
British legislator, that he has been a Cabinet
Minister, and that, should the Tories succeed,
as they hope, in overthrowing Lord PAL3fER
STON'S administration, next spring, he will
probably resume office. It is scarcely too
much to consider $ll. EpwAnD Bi;LwEn-LYT
!Ws declaration upon any great public ques
tion as, to a considerable extent, the opinion
and policy of the Tory or Conservative party in
which he holds no mean position—of the poli
tical party which, at any time, may be called
upon to govern England; and maintain British
relations with foreign countries, the United
States included.
At the Hells Agricultural dinner, where
BULWER so freely has expressed himself on
many subjects—and where, by the way, he
imitated Mr. Ito Estes: in praising the liberal(!)
rule of the Emperor of Austria—he spoke of
the contest now raging in the United States,
between Constitutional GoVernment on the
one side and base Rebellion on the other. He
said: "That separation between North and
South America which is now being brought
about by civil war I have long foreseen and
foretold to be inevitable."—Here are two no
ticeable points. First, there is a very illogical
pclitiv principii (begging the question), and
next there is a curiously vague boast. Bur.-
WEE begs the whole question when he takes
for granted that the contest between the North
and the South—which he describes as "North
and South America"—is now being brought
about. On the contrary, we are fully per
suaded that the base Rebellion against which
the North rose in arms, with a spirit and
unity wholly unprecedented, onus/ and will be
crushed. As for Ber.wEa's having foretold
"that separation," we are at a loss to ascer
tain where he put his prediction on record.
His boast reminds us of the o Rejected Ad=
dresses," where Column', who had an unusual
quantity of self-esteem, is made to declare,
gc I prophesied that, years ago, although I ne
ver told way One." BUIATER 3 we suspect, is in
exactly - the same predicament.
The orator, not content with what he had
predicted, again becomes prophetic, adding,
as and I venture to predict that the younger
men here present will live to see not two,
but at least four, and probably more than four
separate and sovereign commonwealths, ari
sing out of those populations which a year
ago united their Legislature under one Presi
dent, and carried their merchandise under a
single flag." Dreading that his bucolic audi
tors might be overcome by the contemplation
of such a contingency, Sir EDWARD qualifies it
thus : «And so far from thinking that these
separations will be injurious to th future des
tinies of America, or inflict a blow on that
grand principle of self-government, in which
the substance of liberty consists, I believe
that such separations will be attended with
happy results to the safety of Europe and the
development of American eivilization. ,,
The only basis for the prophecy that the
United States must split up into at least four,
and probably more than four separate and
sovereign commonwealths, is the old belief,
among European statesmen, that this Union
would necessarily have diminished cohesion
with increased extent of territory and popu
lation. BULWER says that Rome fell from her
own vast extent of dominion—that the im
-111040 monarchy founded 'by the genittS of
Casiumsmome fell to pieces soon after his
death s and that those pieces are now the King.'
dons of Europe—but, he adds, the territory
claimed by and belonging to the United St4ss,
covers the whole of North America, or ff one
quarter of the globe," and neither tho empires
of the East, nor the Commonwealth of Rome,
nor the monarchy of CHARLEMAGNE could com
pare in extent and resources with the conti
nent of America.

gathering and destructive thunder cloud."
Tie adds, by way of commentary, "No single
kingdom in Europe could have been strong
enough to maintain itself against a nation that
bad once consolidated the gigantic resources
of a quarter of the globe. And this unwieldy
extent of empire would have been as fatal to
the permanent safety and development of
America herself as the experience of all his
tory tells us an empire too vast to maintain the
healthy circulation of its own life-blood ever
has been, since the world began, to the races
over which it spread." And he winds up by
saying, "Butin proportion as America shall
become subdivided into different States, each
of which is large enough for greatness—larger
than an European kingdom—her ambition will
be less formidable to the rest of the world,
and I do not doubt that the action of emula
tion and rivalry between one free State and
another, speaking the same language and en
joying that educated culture which inspires an
affection for all that enlightens and exalts hu
manity, will produce the same effects upon art
and commerce, and the improvements in prae
tical government which the same kind of
competition produced in the old common
wealths of Greece."
Here, in an eminent degree, is . a specimen
of the remarkable English ignorance of Ame
rican institutions and American policy. How
badly-informed must the multitude be on these
points, when Buawun, one of the leading
Authors of his age, a Legislator, with twenty
years' experience, a statesman, who has been
in the British Cabinet as Colonial Secretary,
prates of the dangers which any cc single king
dom of Europe" might apprehend from the
ambition of the United States.. It is true that
the population, resources, wealth, and territo
ries of the United States are increasingbeyond
all precedent. In 1820 our population was
under nine, in 1860 it exceeded thirty-one, in
1870, at the same ratio of increase, it must be
OVer forty-two, and forty years hence it must
be over one hundred million. The providential
counter-balance here is the fact that the
United States acts on the one great policy of
avoiding quarrels with foreign Powers, and
carefully eschewing the ambition, which is
the great blot on British Statesmanship, of
going in for foreign conquest. We desire,
and we shall enjoy, the peaceful glory
of carrying civilization and commerce
all over the world, of continuing to flourish
by the gentle arts of peace. All we ask is, ---
let us pursue this path, without any interven
tion from abroad. We seek no lbreign wars,
nor does our ambition aim at foreign conquest.
We are content with the territory which we
possess. Not so Great Britain, whose whole
career, during the last three centuries, has
been to obtain dominion in all parts of the
world. It is simply ludicrous for such a man
as Bvimga to ignot e British and affect alarm
at American co ambition " and "desire of con
quest."
The }lemma oration, when concluded, was
briefly and sensibly replied to by Mr. Pur,sa l
the farmer who officiated as Chairman of the
Herts dinner. In a manner highly befitting
his character as well-to-do yeoman, Mr. Pct-
L followed Ther.wun's speech—C° trumped his
ace " a whist-player might say—with this one
.sentence : "I do not agree with Sir EDWARD
BULWER LITTON that it is desirable the United
States should be split up into three or four
republics, and I point to the South American
republics as an instance of what would proba
bly ensue if the United States became di
vided."

Price and Fremont
The main body of the former is near Papinsville

full one hundred and forty Liles. Patin:WM° lies

Warsaw.. From this line of retreat it is clear that
The Press was right in declaring that the advance
of Fremont upon Sedalia had driven Price from
Lexington and forced him to abandon his natural
line of retreat through Sedalia and Warsaw and
that, too, without a battle. His line of retreat is
parallel and very near to the Kansas and Missouri
State line.
Fremont's headquarters were on Monday last,
with the rear guard of his movable column, at
Tipton, a railway station of the Central Pacific
road, his main body at Syracuse, seven miles west
of that, and his headquarters at Sedalia. His
means t.ftraticpcilation were deficient, awl, there
fore, from Price's and his own relative positions,
whatever of men or munitions of war are to be for
warded hereafter to his army will be sent from St.
Louis to Rolla.
The distance, according to last accounts, between
the advance of our column and the rear of the
other is nearly sixty miles. Price marches well in
retreat.

Upon Lexington.
Whilst he desired doubtless to win the honor of
capturing Colonel Mulligan and his small band,
and very much wanted for the use of his men the
munitions of war which the latter had, lAN forward,
movement was only a feint to draw Fremont with
the principal part of his forces away from St. Louis,
and thereby prevent him from promptly reinforcing
Cape Girardeau, Bird's Point, Paducah. Smithland,
or any other expend point which the PillowzPolk
column might choose to attack in overwhelming

Movements of Price.
Rewrites that the latest information from Sedalia
and Georgetown reports everything quiet there.
Price, at last accounts, had ermined the Osage, and
there are rumors that he intends snaking a dentist
this point. The crossings of the Osage are capable
of being strongly fortified, and it is said that if the
rebel chief desires to give Fremont battle he could.
not select a better point. The bluffs. on the south.
aide very effectually command the bottom land on
the left of the river, and the streams now being
Swollen by the late rains, Price can, if he chooses,
give us a heavy job there. The operation of cross
ing the river with our army will be a formidable
one at the best, as probably ere this the rebels have
destroyed all the ferry boats, remierring the con
struction of pontoons necessary.
The Reported Fight near Shanhai.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat,
writing from Rolla, Mo., under date of October
12, says :
A man, named William Horn, from Lawrence
county, passed through this place yesterday morn
ing, with his family, for Illinois. Re left home
last Saturday. He reports that a fight took place
on Friday, the 27th ult., between the Union forces
under Montgomery and Jennison '
and the advanced
guard of MeCulleen army and the State Guards
under Judge Chenault, who were marching north 4
it is supposed, to reinforce Price. The battle com
menced near Shanghai, in Barton county, about
eight o'clock on Friday morning, when the re
bels were driven back with considerable slaugh
ter, and were pursued across Centro creek.
The following morning, the cannonading re
commenced about ten o'clock, and the enemy
continued to retreat until they were driven from 95
to 40 miles from the point where the first fight com
menced. I did not have an opportunity of con
versing with this informant, but his father•in-law
is in camp, and is a guarantee for the reliability of
whatever statement Horn may make. Re gave the
name of one of his Secesh neighbors, who was
brought in badly wounded, and said thatthey were
badly whipped. We have no particulars of the
numbers engaged, or the amount of killed and
wounded. It is stated that the Kansas men num.
bend 2,000, and that the numbers on the rebel
aide figured up 2,400, as follows : 1,100 of McCul
loch's men, SO under Judge Chenault, and 500
State Guards.
This intelligence has a cheerful significance on
another MOW ) ;it 44 timw, It shows that aforoo
flushed with victory is operating between the ad
vance of Price's army and his place of refuge, ready
to check his flight and dispute his retreat. Col.
Phelps suggests that the report of the battle given
above must be taken with some degree of allow
ance as to its entire truthfulness ; as he has dis•
covered several discrepancies in the statements cur
rent here in regard to the affair. One report from
Horn's month states, for instance, that the fight first
commenced at Hogs Eye, in Vernon county, and
that McCulloch's men were driven to biarronseine,
in Lawrence county. A few days will clear up the
matter. I give you the report as it comes to me,
always remembering that we are obliged to take
the first reports of a battle with many allowances
for exaggeration and paucity of detail.
A Rebel Contiseation

Conquest of Missouri
(From the Missouri Itesublimn, Oct, 14.]
The warlike demonstrations of the Southern Con
federacy upon Missouri are chiefly for two purposes
—viz : to divert the operations of the Union com
manders from the region of the Potomac, and to
conquer the State. In the first of these objects, it
is not to he denied that the enemy ass elitism good
generala,ip. by menacing Cairo and the Southern
portions of Kentuoky and Missouri, the Confede
rates have been able to turn many thousand soldiers
from the direction of Washington, to assume the
defensive in the West, whilst this movement has not
endangered the important Pah6l tSbinbi oh the Mis
sissippi river. The war of the Secessionista has thus
far been one of stratagems and feints, their troops
invariably refusing battle where the odds have not
been overwhelmingly in their favor. Their move
ments have been characterized by a succession of
mysterious advances and retreats. and by the most
industrious inactivity.
As to the conquest of the State—a thing which
the leaders have continually premised their parti
sans and followers—there may be said to have been
but one time when the Disunion soldiers seemed to
be really and earnestly struggling for this result.
That was when General Price, at the head of ari
immense army, penetrated to the Missouri river,
and, after a siege lasting eight days, succeeded in
gettinxeomplete possession of the town of Lexing
ton. This looked like actual aggressive hostility,
and suggested that efforts might at once be made to
redeem the pledges of the deposed Governor Jack•
son, in regard to driving from the soil the Federal
troops. Now, however, we find Lexington aban
doned, and the Confederate army again heating a
hasty retreat towards Arkansas. Perhaps some
Secessionist can satisfactorily explain this.
Whatever allbibtaliCe the project of assailing Mis
souri, with the ostensible object of establishing the
Confederate Government over the State, may af
ford the rebels in their military plots and counter
plots, it may well be doubted if a majority of the
Southern statesmen either expect or very ardently
Wish to accomplish our conquest. 'While them is
no debate ea to the leas the Ullion would, sustain in
such a capture, it may yet be a matter of question
whether the gain of the Confederates would be
commensurate. * * Supposing
the State the prisoner of the enemy—a captive
Slava at the feet of tyranny and oppression—mit
lions upon millions would bb required to hold it so.
In the midst of these drains upon the bankrupt
Treasury of the Confederates, the Confederates
themselves would soon cry aloud for relief from
the exhausting pressure. The prize would cost far
more than it would bring.

Reconnoissance in Force— Retreat of
the Enemy—Evidences of Insubordina
tion Among Them.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
writing from Elkwater, Va., under date of Oct. 9,
says:
On the sth instant another expedition left our
camp for the purpose of reconnoitring in force the
enemy's position at Big Springs, on the Staunton

The party, under the command of Col. Ike Mar
row, consisted of the Third and Sixth Ohio, a por
tion of the Second Virginia regiment, one company
of Ohio cavalry, and three pieces of the Coldwater
Artillery.
We left camp at 3 o'clock F. M. as usual, in a
drenching rain, which continued during the entire
trip. Taking he same road that we had traversed
a week previous, under Col. Sullivan, we came the
following day upon a deserted camp at Mingo Flats,
four miles from the Springs. This was the site of
our former skirmish with the rebels, and here we
halted to give the men rest and allow them to pre
pare something to eat.
While the party was partaking of a hasty meal,
Colonel Marrow, with a portion of the cavalry,
proceeded to Big Springs. where the enemy's head
quarters had been at the time of our former visit.
ere ruin and desolation, in strong contrast to the
beauties of the scene they had just left, stared us
in the face on every hand. From a farmer whom
we found in the vicinity we learned that the enemy
fled immediately after our former reconnoissance,
supposing vir pub , was the &Mum surd of a
large army. Their flight must have been precipi
tate, for their tents were left standing, though
slashed and riddled, so as to render them useless to
us, and army stores of all kinds were scattered in
wild confusion around. We also found the charred
barrels of a great number of guns. bowie knives,
and other weapons that had been consigned to the
flames.
From this unusual sign, even in a retreatingarmy,
we infer that there has been insubordinati,on an
camp, and that a portion of the troops have die•
banded and gone lowa endisgrest. Thlabelrief is
strengthened by some Secession letters found upon
the ground. We revisited a house that has been
furnished at an expense of many thousand dollars,
but is now an entire wreck. The furniture is bro
ken and scattered over the Seddsor through the
rooms in chaotic. masses. Pictures and books are
trampled under foot, mirrors shattered, and all the
concomitants of a luxurious home turned into a
scene of desolation. Moir many homes have thus
been made vacant?'
From this point the road beoomes impassable.

roadside attests with trhat difficulty the enemy has
retired. In order to render transportation at all

distance of ten miles at least.
We found along the Toad fifteen. 'detached
camps, that had contained no less than one regi

monstrates conclusively that it would have been
folly for us to attack them with our handful of men,

Gen. Reynolds evidently understands his busi

AFFAIRS IN KENTUCKY.
The Union Leaders in Kentucky
Whilst John J. Crittenden le the great Aneas of
the struggle on behalf of law and order, there have
yet gathered around him a set of young men who are
destined to obtain high eminence in the groat na
tional struggle. These young men have attained
that age when passion is under the control of judg
ment, and yet the energy and fire of youth have
not departed. These men have already either been
upon the rostrum and placed themselves in the
forefront in legislative halls, or are actually in the
fold leading the soldiery. Among these young
men who hold a brilliant future career in their own
hands is
Henry Wadsworth,
The present Congressman from the Maysville
distriot. Ile must be fully forty years of age ; in
person thin spare and tall. One of his arms has
been rendered useless by an accident in early life.
Without any constitution, vigor, or stamina to bear
him; of a pale, sickly cast; with voice low and well
modulated In private diewiereittioia, he is a burning
volcano, when aroused, of Irascibility and passion.
These qualities are inherited. As a speaker he is
slow yet fluent enough. lie has been an immense
student in hie profession. His first appearance in
political life as a candidate was in a contest for the
State Senate. Ho remained in that body until he
rose to the leadership of his party.
Subsequently, he was beaten by Elijah C.
Phister, after a warm comas, for the office of sir
eultjudge. Since then, until last summer, he has
not been a candidate. In August, he was elected
to Congress, and voted steadily and with unflinch
ing firmness for the war policy of the Administra
tion: Descended} In # rjgbt lino from Captain
Wadsworth of Charter Oak memory, he ought as ho
ham exhibited full and entire devotion to his coun
try. Ile may now be regarded as the political
head of the Union party in Northern Kentuoky.

ing; the combatants separating, each satishad , of
the courage of his antagonist. Like Wadsvrorth,
he is a native of Kentucky, and feels a deep pride
in the past chivalry and present honor of the State.
A lawyer by profession, he began his career at
the bar at Greenupsburg, the county-seat of 'the
extreme northeasternmost county of the State. Not
finding the mountaineers of that region sufficiently
quick arid ardent to suit a temperament like his,
he emigrated to Christian county, Kentucky.
There he was duly appreciated, and rose rapidly,
until his ambition consummated his purpose, in an
elevation, last August, to the Federal COngreas.
During the last two or three years lie, in accord
ance with the laws of the duello, has been com
pelled to accede to the demands of an antagonist,
and slay him. In temperament, he is- ardent ; in
speech, fluent and eloquent, full of power to de.
claim, yet reasonable, solid, and practicable. No •
young mnn is more thoroughly acquainted with the
tone and feeling 9f tho pefiPie of Southwestern
Kentucky than he. Though Buckner's column ,
pervades one half of his district, he undauntedly
pushes forward the organization of a cavalry regi
ment, the nucleus of which is already in camp at
Louisville, in order to maintain the principles and+
the purposes of the Constitution intact, upon the
soil consecrated by the last resting-place of Clay,
and by the living presence of Crittenden.
Before he, Wadsworth, and Menzies, there can
be nothing but a brilliant future, unless the Fade•
rat arms go down in disgrace and defeat through
out the nation.
Our Armies in Kentucky
A correspondent of the New Yerk Times, writing
from Louis Tine, under date of Friday, October 11,
says
Gen. Crittenden (now a United States brigadier
general) may speedily have ready for mustering.
into the United States service, twenty of the forty
volunteer regiments analog/Ad by our Legislature.
These, and the thirty regiments being raised by our
United States colonels, under United States au- ,
therity, would make fifty thousand. Gens. Sher- -
man, Crittenden, Nelson, Rossean, Thomas, and.
Ward, with an army of fifty Kentucknregiments,
and fifty Northern iegimente, would quickly clear-
Kentucky of all her enemies, also open and secure
Cumberland Gap, control the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad, take Knoxville, Nashville, and
Memphis, and rally the downtrodden people of:
TOtiggf,V9 fircliald the good old flag of Liberty and
Union.
We shall soon have some severe fighting. The
present quiet is ominous of a storm. Gems. John
ston end Polk should be dislodged and driven from,
the Purchase this month, else they may, before the
Ist of November, manage to take Padueali and.
conquer the entire First District. Indeed, before
the Ist of December the Confederate invaders de
sign to take Louisville and conquer the entire
State. Certainly, to say the least, Kentucky will
be in a wretched plight if her enemies-are not con
quered or whipped out before winter. But in
my opinion they will, before winter, be routed,
end Tennessee herself be in rapid. progress of. de
liverance. There can be no doubt of this, if we all
put forth our whole strength. POSTIAC.

No more delightful season of the year could be
aclected for a campaign than the latter part of Oe.
baber and the whole,of November. With.rare ex
ceptions, the air is balmy but hazy; there is little
or no snow, and very little rain. Even. the nights
are not often cold,as they are in Philadelphia. In
dian summer lasts full twenty daya. longer in Mid
dle and Southern Kentucky, in Southern Missouri,
in Eastern Visginia, and the whole of Tennessee
and North Carolina, than it does in Pennsylvania.
If there is poetry in thosa. regions, it is when
" the melancholy days have come," and. when the
serene breezes float amid th ' 5 sere and yellow fo
liage" of those regions. The people themsetves.
have poetized it by cornea it "Italy transferred.".
The chest expands under the air, the lungs. Inhale
it with the profoundest satisfaction, until tli whole .
Wag seems renewed and reinvigorated.
WinVas Movements
Should, however, the campaign be protracted into.
late December or into January, it will become a
most fearful task to move men in bodies or trans
port munitions of war to any extent beyond. the
immediate line of turnpikes and railroads. The
mere country roads in all those States newt above,_
with the exception of North Caroline, (and that es,,
feptiOn is caused by the sandy nature. of the nail,),
are most infamous. Their badness is occasioned by
the utter want of system in keeping them in repair.
and by the light, loamy, spongy character of the
soil. Rein will penetrate and saturate it for woalca
during the winter. In the summer it is puttlaki.,
larly dry. This characteristic does not hold goad
in all the States, but it will be band to be very
generally true, and will he found worthy of consi
deration era long by

Letter from Camp Pierpont.
CAMP PIERPONT. Fairfax county Va,,
October 14, 1 81.
Our brigade, (the Firet,) eompesed of the
Second, Fifth, and Eighth Regimetts of the Penn.
Sylvania reserve corps, struck tents at Camp Ten-
Daly on the night of the Bth instant, and advanced
into Yirginiiv by way of the Chain Bridge. Our
march was uninterrupted, save by a misguided step,
in the darkness of the night, of John Cronister, a
member of the Adams Infantry. Immediately
after crossing the bridge ha attempted to step to
one aide Of the road, when he went over a wall" a
distance of at least twenty feet, falling upon rocks
at the edge of the Potomac. Captain Aldus J.
Neff, of Company E, First Regiment, immediately
Wang film the, wall to the branch of a tree, (at a
great risk of his own life.) and descended to his as
sistance. Strange to say, the man was not fatally
injured, but is doing very well under the care of
our surgeon, Dr. Read.
On the Mettlin of the Eilit4 wg FP:Te44 at this
Iplace, stacked arms, and were resting on our knap
seeks, awaiting a cup of coffee, but before being re
freshed we were ordered to arms, and marched be-
hind the brow of a hill, where we ware formed into a
defensive line, the artillery taking &similar position
in a eormfield on the opposite side of the turnpike
from ns. After remaining in line for half an hour,
and no Sip of the approach of the enemy, we were
dismissed, and ordered to pitch tents. But our
tranaportation trains not having arrived, and no
prospect of their getting here that day, and as it
had commenced raining, there was a brilliant charge
made upon all the post and rail fence in the vici
nity, when the members of the different messes
wen t work together, and soon had comfortable
-wi-gwams • erected, covering them with hay, corn
fodder, °Oar branches, gun blankets, &e., and
were soon 1 0 comfortably quartered as circum
stances would eimit.
The next move.ment was that of foraging parties,
who, after a short absence, returned with some
hoes, sheep, tuselpe, potatoes, which Barred us
abundantly until the ea rival of our quartermaster.
The 11th and 12th we s'yont about a mile fame
camp, felling timber to cut off the advance of the'
enemy from along the Potomac, where they would
have been under cover; also opening a new road
for our own convenience.
Whilst out, on Saturday, Gen. Reynolds' aid ar
rived, with his panting steed, bearing orders to
Cob Roberta to immediately form us into line, as
they expected an advance of the rebels. The order
was promptly executed. The boys, coming into
line in fine double-quick style, marched to within
a hundred yards of the turnpike, where the colonel
made a stand, under cover of a corn field, from
which position we could have given the enemy a
very, warm reception. But, as in the former case,
we were doomed to disappointment, and marched
back to vent our indignation on the pines.
We returned to camp in the evening, and with
the tattoo retired to rest, desiring and mush need
ing a full night's rest, as it was the first night we
had our tents; but our "sweet slumbers" were
broken at three o'clock on Sabbath morning, by
the cry throughout the camp, "fall into lane P'
which, as in former instances, was promptly done
—the Pennsylvania boys always being alert at the
call of duty—and again, after awaiting "further
orders" until daylight, were dismissed. Since then
nothing has occurred to disturb our regular camp
duties.
The health of our whole brigade is very good.
In our regiment, (lst,) we have lost but one man
since in the service. For this, we are indebted, in
a great measure, to the care and attention to our
comforts, of our officers : who in person attend to
the cleanliness of the camp, and see that our food
is wholesome and well-cooked. Our surgeon, Dr.
Read, possesses the affection of all those who have
been unfortunate in being taken sick, for his kind.
ness and skilful treatment.
In fact, all our regimental and company officers
justly command the respect and confidence of those
under their charge. Our colonel, It. Piddle Ro
berta, is a courteous gentleman, whom we are
all proud to follow where'er he may lead us.
Lieutenant Colonel Henry M. Mclntyre, an emi
nent lawyer of West Chester, Pa., has won laurels
for himself, not only in his own regiment, but with
all ate , have had the plume of making his Ac
quaintance. Ito has endeared himself to us by his
kindness, and the cheerfulness with which he en
deavors to have us in proper discipline for any
emergency. The only fear we have is that we may
logo him, by promotion. as his merit dellerili,

"Unless the rebel emissaries,-Mama and Slidell,
suddenly changed the place agreed upon for their
caoduF from the rebel States,vthey have not, as re
presented in the Southern journals, sailed for Eu
rope from Charleston in defiance of •the blockade.
But directly the intelligence published reached
here, the Navy Department, with- oommendable
real and promptness, ordered a fast steamer to in
tercept them, and a deapatah than Drew York to
Secretary Welles was received, stating that the
steamer was ready and would start orat once. If,
however, Mason and Slidell have not sailed from
Charleston, but have taken the route• first agreed
upon, they will still find our Government on the
watch for them,"

The Richmond Examiner, of 00tober T, says:
In the rapid exhaustion of ail sorts of supplies in

either in the raising of the blockade, or in the
prompt and enterprising aid of Southern capital in

Gen. Sumner's Expeetnhon.
At the latest accounts from California General
Bumner, of the regular army, was- about to start
upon an overland expedition, with an army . of
M
6.500 men, to El PA, Wall It View to recaphinng
all the forts and military stations- on the western
boundary of Texas, from Fort Iluna to Fort Inge.
It is conjectured that the expedition is charged
with the following objects :
1. The securing of Arizona. and, New Mexico to
the Federid flag, no matter what the final Isane of
this conflict.
2. The repossession of all the military pasta
seized by the rebels, .extending:from Et Paso to the
Gulf of. Mexico.
3. The actual posaessiort. of the boundary line
between Texas and , Mexion, to-prevent cotton being
sent overland to the latter, country, and to &eel&
complications with the intervening Powers growing
out of the possible.inroads.oi; savages on the Mexi
can territory.

That brigade is conspired against. This last Sab
bath was desecrated by a conspiracy at the reit,
between Robinson and Prince, to destroy the Kan

conspired to destroy it. They were guilty of trea
son baser than that of Price. [Great oheenuill I

I stated in Washington that tin institution of

Confiscated property goes to the Governmeas,
and this rule has been adopted by my brigade. If
we are jayhawkers, we are jayhawking for the
Government.
Now if Prince or Robinson can find an instance of
a violation of this rule in my eatinead, the guilty
man shall be hung.
