THURSDAY I OCTOBER 31, 1861.
Deposition of King Cotton
as The King is dead—Long live the King !"
used to be said, by the Lord in Waiting, when
ever one of the French sovereigns paid the
last debt of nature. In like manner, just now,
in this country—when King Cotton expires,
in consequence of ill-treatment from his own
subjects—we shall find him succeeded, with
out delay or interregnum, by King Wool, who
represents the elder branch of the family.
Wool was the earliest material, after civili
zation commenced, of which wearing apparel
was made. It has continued its supremacy,
though cotton has interfered with it. Once let
European manufacturers cease to depend upon
this country for cotton, and the south mnat,
be in a disastrous position. Nor, thus de
prived of a foreign sale ? can cotton-growers
look - to the North for customers who will re
lieve them of that produce. We have to pro
vide a substitute, and Providence, which is
liberal as well as Win in dispensing his favors,
gives us a compensation. Henceforth, if we
be wise, Wool will replace Cotton.
It has been estimated that, at present in this
Country, the annual eansumption of waal, foe
articles of clothing, averagesaeven pounds a
head. When cotton is dispensed with, this
quantity will be doubled ? if not trebled. But
the question will naturally arise—where is
the wool to be obtained ?
Spain, Germany, England, and Russia sup
ply large rpiMiltiee of this staple, as do Tan
key, Egypt, the Cape of Good Hope, South
America, the East Indies, but, "above all, Aus
tralia.
The history of the wool-trade in the last
named country is very remarkable. In the
year 1829, the whole quantity of wool pro
duced in Australia was under Iwo million
pounds. In 1829, it exceeded ten millions.
lii 1849, it had swelled up to thirty-six, and, in
1859, notwithstanding that labor was greatly
• diverted from wool-growing to gold-seeking,
the produce of wool in Australia exceeded
50,000,000 pounds. We scarcely exaggerate
when we say that the production of wool in
Australia has been more advantageous to that
country than its annual yield of gold. It ne
cessarily iSkollts the chipping interests, (tor
the most of the Australian wool is exported,)
and thus gives ample employment all round to
labor and capital. Two of our greatest living
writers., Bulwer• and Dickens, have taken ad
vantage of this fact, in recent fictions. The
first conveys the hero of cg The Cartons" to
Australia, where, in a few years, his enter
prise and industry as a sheep-breeder and wool
grower win a fortune for him ; and the lat
ter makes Magwitch, the 4, varmint" convict
of "Great Expectations," amass immense
wealth by the same means. In fact, Austra
lia has suitable land enough, if she had only
sheep and shepherds enough, to supply the
world with all the wool it may require.
In stieh supply, however, we dctirc to be
counted out, for we have amplest resources at
home. Every year, we grow more wool and
import less. Thus, our importation of foreign
wool has dwindled dawn fiein
and a half million pounds in 1851 to eighteen
and a half million pounds in 1855. But
there is no occasion for us to import
Atiy, for ire can produce any quantity
and of all qualities. Our territory
adapted for wool-growing is immense. In
some parts of it the finest and best wool in
the world has been grown, and vast quanti
ties would be produced, every v_ear.,bltt for
the encouragement hilliOito given to cotton, a
material neither as lasting nor as good as wool,
and certainly by no means so well adapted fort
our climate. In Africa, where cotton
largely cultivated, it is little used by the na
tives, whose principal garment, the &mot is
invariably made of flue woollen cloth. The
superior staple of wool may be spun and
woven to almost any fineness. A demand
for the first quality of staple would produce it,
in any quantities, inn short time. The inte
rests of the farmer and the manufacturer
would be mutually served by the elevation of
King Wool, on the deposition of King Cotton.
In California wool-growing on a large scale
has commenced. New Mexico, already a
wool-country, has a soil and climate, the best
adapted in the world for raising long wool,
which is the first quality. It is estimated
that New Mexico can support as many sheep
as would produce sufficient wool, equal to the
beat Saxony, to clothe the world. Vermont,
Massachusetts, and New York are sheep
breeding States. Our own Pennsylvania is
capable in this respect, too, but the West and
Southwest appear destined to carry out this
branch of national production to aii almeat
boundless extent,—lllinois, lowa, New Mex
ico, and Ohio can produce more wool, in a
few years, than Australia, notwithstanding the
start which thc iattu hag got. They can do
it, because the course of population flows in
those directions, whereas Australia, now that
convict-labor is nearly ended, will find it diffi
cult to maintaiq Iter prescut amount of wool
produce.
In Ohio alone, this day, are some six mil
lion sheep. Their number has increased 15
per cent. in the last ten years, whereas the ag.
gregate weight of their fleece has increased 40
per cent. When proper care is taken, the va
rious breeds of American sheep greatly im
prove. The aim is to increase the weight and
fineness of the fleece—for with this goes the
improvement of the quality of the animal as
food. Better than a gold-mine is the judicious
management which raises the weight of the
flBooo front loss than two pounds to more .than
three. This has been done, in New York and
Ohio.
Calicoes, muslins, nankeens, yarn, and such
light materials have grown into use within the
last hundred years, and cannot be wholly su
perseded, but the manufactures of wool date,
in fact, from the'remotest times. Let us enu
merate a few of them. Broadcloth and Ker
seymere ; gorges and blankets flannel and
reps ; Saxonies and Orleans ; Poplin and Tabi
net ; Serges and Stuff; merino and de laines;
Cashmere and Challis ; Italian net, Norwich
crape, Crepe de /Ryon, and a vast variety of
other stuffs used for inner and other garments.
In short, the applicability of wool, in prefer
ence to cotton, need not he a matter for argu
ment or proof. It is a fact.
Coincident with the encouragement of wool
ought to be the cultivation of flax. It will go
hard, indeed, with industry, and capital, and
labor, if linen and woollen do not resume the
station they occupied, beforo Cotton set itself
up as King.
The cotton-producing South having, in its
treason and folly, forded the European manu
facturers to seek for the raw material else
where, must not expect, under any circum
stances, to find an equivalent in increased con
sumption by the loyal States. We can fall
back upon Wool as a substitute, superior to
cotton—an article, by the way, which Southern
people themselves use very sparingly. In do
ing this, we shall build up our great agricul
tural States and shall largely provide employ
ment for artisans and mechanies—for manu
factures must increase with the augmented de
mand for and use of wool.
The same weakness which has induced us to
keep up the price of sugar, by a heavy import
duty, in order to "protect," which means to
support, the production in the South of that
&aide Of MUM 'Consumption, has Mac its
exalt cotton and depress wool. That impolicy
has to be abandoned, and thereby a new impe

OFFICIAL REPORT OF GEN. STONE,
HEADQUARTERS CORPLOP OBSERVATION,
October 28, 1881.
GEssuat, : On the 20th inst., being advised from
headquarters of General McCall's movements to
Dratewille, to reoomioltre and draw out the inten
tions of the enemy at Leesburg, I went to Edwards'
Ferry, at 1 o'clock P. M., with General Gorman's
brigade, Seventh Michigan, two troops of the Van
Allen Cavalry, and the Putnam Rangers, while four
companies of the Fifteenth Massachusetts Volun.
teers were sent to Harrison's Island, under Colonel
Dever's, who then had one company on the island,
and Colonel Lee, with a battalion of the Massachu
setts Twentieth, a section of the Rhode Island Bat
tery, and Tammany Regiment. were sent to Con
rad's Ferry, A section of Bunting's New York
Battery and Itickett's battery were already on
duty, respectively at Edwards' and Conrad's Fer
ries.
General McCall's movement had evidently at
tracted the attention of the enemy, a regiment of
infantry having appeared from the direction of
Leesburg, and taken shelter behind a hill about one
mile and a half from our position at the Ferry.
General Gorman was ordered to deploy his forces
in view of the enemy, and in so doing no move
ment of the enemy was exeited_
Throe flat boats were ordered, and, at - the same
time, shell and spherical shot were thrown into the
place of the enemy's concealment. This was done
to produce an impression that a crossing was to be
made. The shellin§ at RAwarde Ferry and launch
ing of boats in need the quick retirement of
the enemy's force seen there, and three boat loads,
of thirty-five men each, from the First Minnesota,
crossed and recrossed the river, each trip occupy
ing about sia or seven minutes.
Wiille ibis was going on, the men evinced, by
their cheering, that they were all ready and de
termined to fight gallantly when the opportunity
was presented. At dusk. General Gorman's bri
gade and the Seventh Michigan returned to camp,
leaving the Tammany Regiment end the eempanies
of the Fifteenth Massachusetts and artillery at
Conrad's Ferry, in position, awaiting the return of
scouts. Meanwhile, General Stone remained at
Edwards' Ferry. At 10 o'clock P. M., Lieutenant
Howe, qumtermaste!' of tilt Fifteenth Massachu
setts, reported that scouts, under thiptain Phil
brick, heat returned to the island, having been
,fithln one mile of Leesburg, and there discover
ing, in the edge of a wood, an encampment of
thirty tents. No pickets were out any distance,
and lie approached to within twenty-flit rods
wilt...a being even challenged.
Orders were then instantly aent to Colonel De
vens to cross four companies to the Virginia shore,
and march silently, under cover of night, to the
position of the camp referred to, to attack and de : a,,
eboy it at daybeerdt, pursue the enemy lodged
there as far as would be prudent, and returniteme
diately to the island,.his return to be covered by a
company of the Massachusetts Twentieth, to be
posted over the landing-place. Colonel Devens
was ordered to make elate obsereatlen of the pcisi- •
lion, strength, and movements of the enemy, and,
in the event of there being no enemy there visible,
to hold on in a secure position until he could be
strengthened sufficiently to make a valuable recon-
PAsfince,
. At this time orders were sent to Colonel Baker to
send the First California_ Regiment to Conrad's
Ferry, to arrive there at sunrise, and to have the
remainder of his brigade ready to move early.
Lieutenant Colonel Wood. of the Fifteenth Mas-
MAMA% Wad also ordered to move with his bat
talion to the river bank opposite Harrison's Island,
by daybreak. Two mounted howitzers, in charge
of Lieutenant French, of Rickett's battery, were
ordered to the tow-path of the canal opposite Har
rieort's
Colonel Devens ' in pursuance of his orders, crossed I

ssnoe in the direction of Leesburg from Edwards'
Ferry, I directed General 'Gorman to throw across
the river, at that point, two companies of the First
Minnesota, under cover from Rickett's battery, and
sent out a party of thirty-one Van Allen Cavalry,
under Major Mix, accompanied by Captain Chart*
Stewart, Assistant Adjutant General, Captain
Murphy, and Lieutenants Pieria and Gouraud ;
with orders to advance along the Leesburg
road until they should. come to thl vicinity
of the battery, which was known to be on that
road, and then turn to the - left and vanilla, the
heights between hat and Goose creek, and See if
any of the =many were posted in the vicinity, find
out their numbers as nearly, as possible, their dispo
sition, examine the country- with reference to the
passage of troops to-the Leesburg and Georgetown
tusopthe, and return rapidly to cover behind the
skirmishers of the Minnesota First. This recon
noirsance was roost . gallantly conducted, and the
patty-proceeded along the Leesburg road nearly
two miles from the Ferry. and. when - near the posi
tion of the bidden batten .same suddenly upon a
Mississippi regiment, aliont".thirty , fiv e yards die
taut, received its fire; and tettirned' it with their
pistols.. The fire of the enemy killed one horse,
but Lieutenant Gouraud seized the dismounted man,
and drawing him .on hie home behind him, carried
him unhurt from the_ field. One . private, of the . ,
Fourth Virginia' Cavalry, was brought - off by the
party a prisoner, who being well mounted and
wined, his mount replaced. the one lost by the fire
of enemy. • •
Meantime, on the right,. Col. Devens , having in
pursuance of his orders arrived at the position de
signated to him as • the site of the enemy's camp,
found that the scouts had been deceived by the un
certain-light, and mistaken openings in the trees for
a row of tents. Col. Devens found, however, a
wood in which he concealed his force, and pro
ceeded to examine the space between that and
Leesburg, sending back to report that thus far he
could see no enemyi Immediately on receipt of
this intelligence, brought meby Lieut. Howe, who
had accompanied both the parties, I ordered a non
commissioned officer and ten cavalry to join Col.
Devens, for the purpose of scouring the country
neer him while engaged in his P666iihearalieli, atui
due notice of the approach of any force, and
that Lieut. COL Ward. with his battalion of the
Fifteenth Massachusetts, should move on to Smoot's
Mills, half a mile to the tight of the crossing place
of Vol. Ravens, and tee Where, in a strong Position, i
ho could watch and protect theflank of Col. Devens
hills return, and secure a second crossing more
favorable - than the first, and connected by a good
road with Leesburg. Capt. Candy, Assistant Ad
jutant General, and Gen. Lander accompanied the
eavalry. to - serve with it. For some reason never
explained to me, neither of these orders was car
ried
out. The cavalry were transferred to the Vir - -
ginia shore; but wore sent back without having left
the shore to go inland, and thus Col. Devens was
deprived of the means of - obtaining warning of any
approach of the enemy.
. The battalion under Colonel Ward was detained
on the blatLin - the rear of Colonel Devens, instead
of . being directed to the. right. Colonel -Baker
having. arrived at Conrad's Ferry with the First •
California Regiment at an early hear, prciggedtgl to
Edwards' Ferry, and reported to me in person,
stating that his regiment was at the former place,
and the three other regiments of his brigade ready
to march. I directed him to Harrifion'a Island-to
assume command, and in a full conversation ex
plained to him the_position as it then stood. I told
him that General McCall had advanced his troops
to Drainsviile, and that I was extremely desirous
of ascertaining the exact position and force of the
enemy in our front, and exploring as far as it was
safe on the right toward Leesburg ; and on
the left toward the Leesburg and Gum Spring
road. I also informed Colonel Baker that Gene- .
ral Gorman, opposite Edwards' Ferry, should
be reinforced, and that I would make every effort
to push Gorman's troops carefully forward to dis
eaves the hest line from that fairy' to the Leesburg
and Gum Spring road, already mentioned, and the
position of the breastworks and bidden battery,
which prevented the movements of troops directly
from left to right, were also pointed out to him.
The moans of transportation across, of the suld--
obenoy of -Which ha (na af i - wee
..t e be j u dge, was.
detailed, and. authority given him to make use of .
the guns of a - section steal of Vaughan's and Bunt-.
lag's batteries, together with - Prefab's mountain
howitzers, all the troop; of his briseele and
Tammany
-
Tammany Regiment, besides the Nineteenth -and
part of the Twentieth Regiments of Masseabusette
Volunteers ; and I left it to his - diScretion, after
viewing the g,re - und, to retire from the Virginia
shore under the °over of his guns or the fire of the
large infantry force, or to pass our reinforooment in
ease he found it practicable and the position on the
Other side favorable. I stated that .1 wished no ad
vance made unless the enemy were of inferior force,
and under no circumstance to pass beyond Lees
burg, or a strong position between it and Goose.
Creek, on the eituo - Spring, is e,, thenimiassas road.
Col. DPW Was Onlitiened in referiditle to patting
artillery across the river; and I begged, if he did
so, to see it well supported by good infantry. The
General pointed out to him the 'position of some
blufts on this side of the river, from which artillery
' could act with effect on the other ; and, leaving the
matter of crossing more troops or retiring what were
already over to his discretion, gave him entire con
trol of the epeefdleAc ea the fight. This gallant
' and energetic officer left me about 9 A. M., or half
past nine, and galloped off quickly to his command.
Reinforcements were rapidly thrown to the Vir
ginia side by Gen. Gorman, at Edwards' Ferry, and
hts sltirmiSheraan- A
cavalry scouts advanced Can•
tiously and steadily to the front and right, while
the infantry lines were formed in such positions as
to act rapidly and in concert, in case of an advance
of the enemy, and shells were thrown by Lieet,
Woodruff's Parrot} guns into the woods beyond our
lines as they gradually extended, care being taken
to annoy the vicinity of the battery on the right.
Messengers from Harrison's Island informed me,
soon after the arrival of Col. Baker opposite the
island, he was erasing his whole force as rapidly
as possible, and that he had caused an additional
flatboat to be rafted from the canal into the river,
and had provided a line - to cross the boats more
rapidly.
In the morning a sharp skirpiPb took plate be
tween two companies of the Twentieth MaS,SChil.
'rats and about 100 Mississippi Riflemen, during
which a body of the enemy's cavalry appeared.
Col. Devens then fell back in good order ort OeL
Lee's position. Presently ho again advanced, his
m a behoving fighting, retiring, and
a d, i ,„ e i n i in perfect order, and exhibiting every
proof of high etTerage and good discipline. Had
the cavalry scouting lit' ty sent him in the morning,
been with him then he could titive had timely warn
ing of the appreaeh of the AVIV!' feree Which
afterward overwhelmed his regiment. Thinking
that Col. Baker might be able to use more artillery,
I despatched to him two additional pieces, supported
by two companies of infantry, with directions to
come into position balsa the place of ovossing, and
report to Col. Raker. Col. Baker suggested this
himself later in the day, just before the guns on
their way arrived.
After Col. Doyens' second advance. Col. Baker
went to the field in pennon, and it Is a iiiettee of re
gret to me that he left no record of what officers
and men he charged with the care of the boats,
and insuring the regular passage of troops If
any were charged with this duty, it was not per
formed, for the reinforeements as they arrived
found no one in command of the boats, and great
delays were thus occasioned. Had one officer and
a company remained at each landing, guarding the
boats, their full capacity would have been made
serviceable, and sufficient men would have been
passed to secure success. The fotwarding of artil
lery before its supporting force of Infantry, also
impeded the rapid assembling of an imposing force
an the Virginia shore, If the infantry force had
first crossed, a difference of 1,000 men would have
been made in the infantry line, at the time of at
tack, probably enough to have given us thecietory.
Between 12 and 1 P. M. the enemy appeared in
force in front of Col. Devens, and a sharp skirmish
ensued, and was maintained for some time by the
Fifteenth Massachusetts, unsupported, and finding
he would he outflanked, Des ens ietireti a
short distance and tookup a position near the wood,
half a mile in front of Col. Lee, where ho remain
ed until 2 o'clock, when ho again fell back, with
the approval of Col. taker, andtook his place with
the portions of the Twentieth Mamschusetts grgi
First California, which had arrived.
Colonel Baker now formed his liner and waited
the attack of the enemy, which came• upon him
with great vigor about three P. M... anit was well
met by our troops, who, though pitched against a
?Pnql epperior three to• one, maintained
their ground, under a most destructive' fit of the
enemy.
Colonel Coggswell reached the field amid the
heaviest fire, and came gallanty into action ; . with a
yell which wavered the enemy's line.
Lieut. Dianlull. of Bunting's Ilitttery,• hadime
eeeded, after extraordinary exertions-andtlaher.. in
bringing up a piece of the Rhode Island liattiry,
and Lieutenant French his two howitzers; bat both
officers, after well-directed firing, were goon borne
away wounded, and the pieces were hattled , to kit¢
rear. so that they might not fall into the enemy's
hands.
At 4 P. M., Colonel Baker fell at the head of his ,
column, pierced by a number of . bullets,- while
cheering his men, and by , his own example sustain-•
lhg the obstinate iehistafice they were making.
The command then devolved upon COlonel •Lee,
who prepared to commence throwing out forces to
the rear. but it was soon found that Celonel Coggs
well was the reeler in rank, and he, taking the
command, ordered preparation to be made foe
marching to the left, and cutting a way through to •
Edwards' Ferry. But just as 'the first dispositions
were being effected, a rebel officer rode rapidly in
front and beckoned the Tammany Regiment. toward.
the enemy, It is net clear whether or not the
Tammany men supposed this one of our officers, •
but they responded with a yell and charged for-
ward, carrying with them in their advance the rest
of the line, which soon received a destructive fire
faun the enemy at close distance. The men were
quickly recalled, but their new position frustrated
the movement designed, and Colonel Coggswell
gave the necessary order to retire. The enemy
pursued to the edge of the bluff, over the landing
place, and poured in a heavy fire as our men were
endeavoring to cross to the island. The retreat
was rapid, but aeoording to orders. The men
formed near the river, maintaining for nearly half
an hour the hopeless contest rather then surrender.
The smaller boats had disappeared, no ono knew
where. The largest boat, rapidly and too heavily
loaded, swamped at fifteen feet from the ahem, Awl
nothing was left to our soldiers but to swim, sur
render, or die.
With a devotion worthy of the cause they were
serving, officers and men, white quarter was being
offered to such as would lay down their arms,
stripped themselves of their swords and muskets,
and hurled them out into the river to prevent their
falling into the hands of the foe, and saved them
selves as they could by swimming, floating on logs,
and concealing themselves in the bushes 9 f the
forest, and to make their way up and down the
river, back to a place of crossing. The instances
of personal gallantry of the highest order were so
many that it would be unjust to detail particular
cases. Officers displayed for their men, and men
for their officers, that beautiful deviation which is
only to be found among true soldiers.
While these scenes were being enacted on the
right I was preparing on the left for a rapid push
forward to the road by wbieh the enemy would re
treat, if driven, and entirely unsuspicious of the
perilous condition of our troops. The additional
artillery bad already been sent, and when the mes
senger, who did not leave the field until after three
o'clock, was questioned as to Colonel Baker's po
sition, he informed me that the Colonel, when ho
left, seemed to . feel perfectly secure, and could
doubtless hold his position in case he should not
advance. The same statement was made by another
messenger half, an hour later, and I watched anx
iously fur a sign of advance on the right, in order
to push forward General Gorman. It was, as had
b9cli gxpinmcci to 9094.911309 r, impracticable to
throw General Gorman's brigade directly to the
right, by reason of the battery in the woods, be
tween which we had never been able to reconnoitre.
At four P. M., or thereabouts, I telegraphed to i
General Banks for a brigade of his division, ntend
ing it to oceupy the ground oil this side of the
river, near Harrison's Island, which would be
abandoned in case of a rapid advance, and shortly
after, as the fire slackened, a messenger was waited
for 011 whose ttdings should be given orders:either
for the advance of General Gorman, to cut off the
retreat of -the enemy, or for the disposition, for the
night in the position then held.
At 5 P. M. Captain Candy arrived from the field
and announced the melancholy tidings of Colonel
Baker's death, but with no intelligence of any
further disaster. I immediately apprised General
Banks of Colonel Baker's death, and. I rode quickly
to the right to assume command. Before arriving
oppesite , the island, men who had crossed the river
plainly gave evideneeof the disaster, and on reach
ing the tame, I was satisfied of it by the conduct
of the men then landing in boats_
The reports made to , me were that the enemy's
force was 10,000 men. This I considered, as it
proved to be. an eiFiggeration. . Orders were Alien
given to hold the island, and establish a patron:on
the tow-path from opposite the island to the line of
pickets near the Monoeaoy, and I returned tp the
left to secure the troops there from disaster, and
make preparations for moving them as rapidly as
possible.
Orders arrived from General McClellan to hold
the 'island, Virginia shore at Edward's Ferry, at
all risks. indicating 7 at the same time, that !Tie
,
toreements would be sent andimmediately addi
tional means of entrenching were forwarded, and
General Gorman was furnished with particular di
rections to hold out against any and every force of
the enemy.
During that Nog, figagral Hataittcti, with hie
brigade, was on the march from Darneatown. Be
fore I left to go to the right, I issued orders to in
tercept him, and instructed him to repair to Con
rad's Ferry, where orders awaited him to so dis.
pore of hie force as to give protection to Harrison's.
Island, and protect the lino of eke river. At threa-
A. M., Major General .Banks arrived and took
command.
A report of division for the following days will
be made out speedily. I cannot conclude without :
bearing testimony to the courage, geo4
and conduct of all the troops of this division during
the day. Those in action behaved like veterams,
and those not brought into action showed :that
alacrity and steadiness in their movements which
proved their anxiety to engage the foe in. their
country's cause. We mourn the loss of diet bray,
departed—dead on the field of honor if not 91..sua
cess—and we miss the companionship of those of
our comrades who have fiallen into the hands of our
enemies. But all feet that they have earned the

what light will that State lookup= an invasion by

have been a general rising of the ill-informed

of the sentiment prevalent among-64e masses, but
it is believed that the portion north.a the Arkan

A Heroine for the Times:
The following exploit of a girl was re-rformed
previous to the battle of Springfield. Though a
little old, it will bear relating. Colonel Crawford,
of the rebel army, had pitched his camp in Law
renCe County, thereby preventing some of the
Union men from making their escape from the
enemy's lines. Under these circumstances; Mr.
McNatt and two friends sought concealment in the
brush. Being destitute of fire-arms, a daughter of
Mr. McNutt passed through the lines on horseback.
and hibught in three guns for the use of the pasty.
The weapons were concealed under a canopy of
crinoline—a safe guard, which no "bearded pardf "
of a sentinel dared to violate. On another occa
sion, our heroine, hearing that " old man Smite r
was blockaded and could not get home ; mounted
her steed, and, finding the old gentleman, mate
him dreatf in woman's clothes and bonnet. Thus..
accoutred, "granny was brought through the
lines riding behind our heroine, without awaken
ing suspicion.
The Union Victory Near Fredericktown. .
An Ironton correspondent of the Missouri De-.
11100101.1 says, under date.of October 24 :
It is now aeeertained by E e v ml citizen, that
were present during the battle near Fredericktown,
and others who have been upon the ground since,
that over three hundred rebels were found up to
yesterday morning, ' dead on the field, and
many. others have died in the hospital. Eight out
of every ten were abet in the head or bear the
shoulders.- Our loss is 5 killed, and. from 25 to
30 wounded.

picks, then formed again and were marched up to
the embankments, and then went through a kind of
drill not much known in " Hardee's Tactics." The
most prominent among them was our honorable re
2nr.ceonative, Jefferson O. Russell, abd the day pre
vious one of the honorable county judges was going
throngh the same drill, and I believe they intend
keeping up the drill. One of their boarders is "a
captain in the army of thieves by the name of

it is trying to steal a " ball and chain," for I see he
has one tied to his leg—rather an uncomfortable

have been at it long ago.
I think there are at Frederiektown some 50 or 60

So notorious has this rebel leader become in Mis
souri that his name is familiar as a household word
to all. it is regarded popularly as the synonym of
coarseness, vulgarity, and hard-swearing. Indeed,
our . people base an idea that wherever his com

General Gideon J. Pillow stands about five feet

a - very fine advantage ; small. keen, black or rather

General Pillow is strictly temperate in his habits,

The Manifesto of Arlin C. Breelunitttge:
The St. Louis Reperblis)P3 says that this gentle-
Man has published a Manifesto to the People of Hen
inky, It is tinted at Dowding Green, and he says
it is written.at the :first moment since his expulsion
from home that he could place his feet on the soil of
Kentucky. In it, he resigns his seat as a member
of tho Senate of the United States, saying I ex
change. with proud satisfaction,-is term of six years,
in the 'gutted States Senate. for the musket of &Sa
dler." The address would fill two columns of our
paper. and is made up of sophisma and misrepre
sentations.- ile says there isno longer a Senate of the
United States within the meaning; and spirit of
the Ceas_tt tution"-" Vnitcd States no longer
exists—the NniOn is dissolved." Bile he takes care
to conceal from the people whom he Is addressing,
and whose confidence he has betrayed, that, while
yet Vice President, and presiding over - the delibera
tions of the Senate, he and a betel of SonatArs reek
lessly conspired, by their speeeliesand acts,
to break up , and destroy the , Chien ; that
this was dole long before the Presiden

the course of the Secessionis in the Charleston

dent by the Democratic Convention, and gloried is
it, as being one sure means, if the Democracy were
defeated, of diesolTing the Union; that, to make
assurance doubly sure,
he lent himself as &willing

Gen. Sherman's Column. in lientierky.
The most recent advices from Kentucky indicate
that the head of Gen. Sherman's column has pushed
Nate fifteen miles beyond Nolin's Ford, sn'renie
towards Bowling Green. It is also stated that the
rebel forces under Johnson now, but under Buck
ner formerly, are fortifying themselves at Bowling
Green to resist an attack. The fact that thoy
fortifying their position indicates a consciousness
of their own weakness or inability to meet the,
Union troops in the open field.
The reinforcements pouring into Kentucky, from ~
the loyal States lying north, indicate ;opt- cpaci al ,
sively to the rebels that they cannot meet General
Sherman in fair fight. Besides, the . Kentuckians
themselves are rising so rapidly and. vigorously,
that the rebels are frightened at the threatening op,
pearanee of the apprattehing tivelitine., There
have already been four Pennsylvania regiments
added to this column. It is, understood that eight
mere regiments, now fully armed and equipped, go
thither front this State. These will,ialinoet.replam
