TIIVASPAY, FEBRUARY 6,1862.
Arnues and Navies
Europe is in what is called a state of armed
neutrality, and a terribly expensive condition
that is. Across the water, lively journalists
are ‘nergetic in abasing this country, because
the necessities of the time have madelt requi
site that we shall have a large army—the fact
being that the larger our force the sooner must
-be our triumph, and therefore the less the ex
pense and the briefer the suspense. In what
ondition - are European nations t The Al
manach de Goiha for 1862, which publishes
none but official statements, gives some in
teresting details.
In England, the regular army is 213,773 in
fantry and 21,904 cavalry, besides about forty
militia regiments and 150,000 volunteers—total,
424,677 soldiers of all classes. ller navy con
sists of 893 steam and sailing vessels, carrying
16,411 guns. The crews number 78,200
men, including 18,000 marines and 8,550 coast
guard men. This military and naval force, it
must be remembered, is on the peace esta
blishment. In time of war it would be aug
mented.
The French army, on a war-footing, consists
of 767,770 men, and 130,000 horses; in peace
the number in service are 414,868 men and 73,-
850 horses. At this moment, when there is
nominal peace, and war may spring up at any
moment, like a lion refreshed, the actual ef
fective force of the French army is 650,000
men. Its navy consists of 600 vessels, (afloat,
building, or under transformation,) carrying
13,858 guns. Of these 378 are steam vessels,
or which 1.12 are iron-cased. The naval force
consists of 60,000 men in war; and 38,375 in
peace. In what is called the maritime inscrip
tion, out of which the navy may be recruited,
there are 670,000 seamen. In war there are
26,879 marines ; in peace, 22,400. There are
25,511 men in the coast guard and custom
house duty.
In Prussia, the strength of the army, on a
peace footing, is 212,649 men ; and 622,866 in
war : this includes infantry and cavalry. The
Prussian navy is small, consisting of 26 steam
boats, carrying 121 guns, and 74 sailing ves
sels, carrying 200 guns. The marine force is
small also.
Russia, in peace, has an army of 577,859 re.
gular troops, with 136 regiments of cavalry, 31
battalions, and 31 batteries for irregulars. She
has 242 steam-vessels in her national navy,
carrying 3,854 guns, and 71 sailing vessels.
She has also several hundred vessels acting as
guard-ships and as transports.
Austria has 248,680 infantry and evalry in
active service, and as many more ready to be
embodie&for field duty at a few weeks' notice.
Her navy consists of 58 steamships, carrying
456 cannon, and 79 sailing vessels, carrying
439 guns. Her naval force is under 5,000
men.
Italy, which is at present in somewhat of a
chrysalis state, has her returns made up to
June, 1861. Her army consisted of 327,290
infantry, cavalry, and artillery—and her navy
of 106 vessels, (steam and sail,) carrying 1,086
guns, and 18,000 men.
Such are the military and naval statistics,
briefly given, of the leading European Powers.
It will be seen how gigantic they are in war—
how vast even in peace. Let our readers
judge how far qualified any of them may be to
charge us with needlessly having organized a
large army. We have done it. Not for con
quest.--not for acquisition of territory—not
for extension of sway. We have simply pined
our citizen-soldiers in the field to maintain the
integrity of the Union, which made us a
mighty nation, and, with God's aid and bless
ing, we shall succeed in our great and just en
deavor.
News of Literature
A new novel by Miss Evans, author of "Adam
Bede," will be published this spring. —Charles
Lever announces a new monthly serial, with illus

last year, arose from the demise of another Charles

Puttick & Simpson, in London, some six months
ago.
C. Scribner has published a second edition of the
cc Memoir of the Duchess of Orleans, by the Mar
quesa de 11—,".with her correspondence and a
portrait. It is a pleasing biography of an amiable
woman. One cannot help being touched by the ten
derness with which, in her correspondence from the
Tuileries, before Louis Philippe's downfall, this
widowed princess speaks of her eons " Paris and
Robert"—the Count do Paris and the Duke de
Chartres, now on the staff of General McClellan,
and respected and liked by all She mentions the
first as having a character full of reason and
depth," the latter as having "intelligence and
- vivacity." The Memoir is well worth reading.
The second series of " Home and Abroad," a new
work, which was to have appeared, this month, in
Putnam's Caxton edition of Bayard Taylor's works,
has been unavoidably postponed until March.
Views Moot," which first made B. T.'s literary
reputation, takes its place, and is finely illustrated
with views of Florence and of the author's home,
in Chester county. Re has carefully revised it,
and it is pleasant reading.
The authors of the " Wide, Wide World," "Say
and Seal," &e., are about publishing " The Little
American," a semi-monthly dnedeeilno of 24 pages,
for the use and pleasure of young readers, and
suited to the various ages of such readers. The
authors' design is—first, t) give all the pleasure
possible; next, with that, all the good possible, of
every kind. In the execution of these purposes,
all fields will be entered that offer fruit, and all
flowers gathered that are likely to please youthful
fancies. If sufficient subscribers, at $1.50 a year,
are obtained, to make the enterprise tolerably
hopeful, the first number will be issued in April or
May.
Mr. Charles Eliot, of Georgetown,_ is writing
another pamphlet, to be entitled "Military In
capacity and what it costs the country."
J. B. Lippincott & Co. will this week publish,
in one volume 12mo, " The Art of War," by the
Baron de Jomini, a new edition, with appendices
and Mar, translated from the French by Captain
G. 11. Mendele and Lieutenant W. P. Craighill,
both of the United States army. It will have a
copious Index. Jomini, now in his eighty-third
year, is a native of Switzerland, who entered the
French army, and rose to be General of Brigade, in
1811, lie subsequently entered the Russian ger.
vice, in which he is a General, and has successively
been aid-de-camp to Alexander I, Nicholas, and
the present Czar. Since 1855, he has resided in
Brussels. He is at once the most industrious and
most accurate of modern writers on the art of war.
His Summary (Precis de PArt de la Guerre) has
gene through many editions in Paris, and the pre
sent translation is.from the new and revised edition
receatly published.

CAMP PIERPONT, Fob. 3, 1862.
John Adair, second lieutenant of Captain White's
company (tir ) , was presented a handsome Sword,
sash, and belt to-day, by the members of Company
A, (of which company he was formerly a member.)
The sword was presented by Colonel E. B. Har
vey in behalf of the company, as an acknowledg
ment of the — high esteem they held for him as a
soldier and gentleman. The Colonel made a neat
and eloquent speech, and was followed by the
Lieutenant, who kindly thanked the company, and
- promised to draw and wield it in the defence of
liberty aid the laws. After the speeches, the
companies gave nine hearty cheers—three for the
Colonel, three for Captain White, and three for
Lieutenant Adair. B.
The Difficulty on Board the Saranac.
[For The Prue.]
The impression that the diffieußy between Capt.
Ritchie, of the frigate Saranac, and his officers,
lying at Panama, has been caused by Southern or
Secession sympathy on the part of the latter, is a
mistake, and of great injustice to them. They are
Northern and loyal men. It is a matter of a
personal, or rather professional, nature, and has
nothing to do with the national crisis: NAVY.

(Correspondence of the Louisville Journal.)
CAMP BEECH GROVE, HELL SPRIER,
Wayne Co., Ky., Jan. 29, 1862.
It is amazing how difficult it is for newspaper
correspondents to tell the truth in regard to the re
cent defeat of the rebel forces under Crittenden
and Zollicoffer. It would seem that intelligent
men at Somerset, who correspond for Cincinnati
papers, ought to possess more accurate information
in regard to the battle of the 19th instant than is
developed in their letters from that place. And,
then, as a fair and candid man, I must protest
against the dishonest efforts of military partisans
to make their particular friend the hero of the
battle. With some there seems to be a labored
effort to impress the popular mind with the convic
tion that to some particular regiment alone are we
indebted for victory. Now as to facts ;
The Tenth Indiana, Fourth Kentucky, Second
Minnesota, Ninth Ohio, and Wolford's Cavalry, all
fought equally well. Never did men fight better,
or achieve a more glorious victory. Each regiment
came up just at the proper time, and dealt just the
right sort of blows. The absence of either regi
ment from the battle would have turned the scales
against us All candid men will admit this to be
true.. If I were to single out any one officer as
having contributed immeasurably to the victory,
and probably more than any other man, it would be
Col—Manson, commanding the Second brigade. It
was that accomplished officer who saved the left
flank of our little army by ordering up Col. Fry, of
the Fourth Kentucky, to meet the enemy's right.
It was Col. M. who observed the danger of being
outflanked on the right, and requested Colonel
McCook to come up with his brigade on the right,
which was done in magnificent style. He seemed
to comprehend the whole plan of attack and de
fence and was everywhere on the battle-fild en
couraging the Union boys to meet the enemy. He
exhibited in the battle of the 19th instant these
sense high qualities as a military commander which
-has won for him the proud title of the Hero of Rich
Mountain. I, who say this, am not an Indianian,
but a Kentuckian. In awarding to Col. M. what is
his due, I do not mean to detract from the dis
tinguished merits of Col. McCook or of Cols. Fry,
Kiss, or Vaneleave. They each distingcished'them
solver, and they were each a necessity in the battle.
In paying these tributes to colonels and acting
brigadier generals, I by no means intend to intimate
that our division commander, Gen. Thomas, did not
do his duty. He was present in person on the bat
tlefield, and not only saw, but superintended the
movements of the Union troops.
The battle did not come off at Webb'a Cross
Roads, as a Somerset ignoramus writes. It was at
Logan's Fields, twenty-five miles from Webb's
Cross Roads. Logan's is on the main road from
Columbia to Somerset, ten miles from the latter
and forty miles from the former place. From Lo
gan's a road runs directly south to the crossing at
Mill Spring. That toad runs directly through the
rebel fortifications on the north side of the Cumber-.
land. The distance from Logan's to the Mill Spring
is ten miles. The battle should therefore be called
Logan's Fields.
Sehoepirs brigade bad nothing to do with the fight
at Logan's. General Schoeplf did not arrive until
the battle was over.
There are no Union troops yet at Monticello: +I
People who live in cities seem to think that an army 1
can be moved without anything to eat, and some of
them forget that it is quite difficult to obtain
subsistence over the meanest dirt roads the world
ever saw.
Some ignoramus, writing to a Cincinnati news
paper, says that when the battle opened General
Thomas had under his command thirteen regiments
of it.fantry. Such is not the fact. The entire num
ber engaged in the fight did not exceed 2,500 men.
But they were men all over.
The object which the enemy had in view, in at
tic:Meg the force at Logan's was to prevent an
=ion of all the forces in this locality, and to whip
us in detail. The lower Cumberland was blockaded
by a part of Gen. Boyle's brigade, and hence no
supplies could come to them from Nashville. None
could come to them from above. It was impossible
for them to be surolied from the direction of
Tennessee, and Wayne county was too poor to draw
grain. I t ! had been effectually drained already.
The rebels were therefore compelled to retreat be
fore all our troops united, invested their fortifica
tions, and thus cut off all supplies as well as all
chances for wheat, or to march out, and fight us - in
detail. They chose the latter alternative, and had
they succeeded at Logan's innumerable difficulties
would have surrounded the Union cause. But they
failed because they were in a bad cause, and for the
further reason that 2,500 Western boys can at any
time whip 7,000 rebels.
It is now ascertained that the rebels killed and
wounded will amount to more than 200. This is
given to me from reliable sources. It has been
also ascertained that a large number of rebels
were drowned in attempting to cross the Cumber
land on the night of the 19th.
Late in the afternoon of yesterday a flag of truce
was seen to come from the direction of Monticello.
It was met by General Manson, Colonel Harlan,
Lieutenant Colonel Kim, and Assistant Adjutant
General Rise. The party was headed by Henry
Ewing, assistant adjutant general to Zollicoffer.
They bore a note from General George B. Critten
den, requesting the body of General Zollicoffer.
They were informed that his body was retained for
several days, expecting that it would be sent for,
but as that was hot done in due time, it htid been
transferred to Somerset, from which point, Colonel
Manson was informed, it was to be removed to
Tennessee via Louisville. The rebel party returned.
During the conversation which took place, Colonel
Harlan asked Captain Ewing why the rebel army
did not make a stand in their fortifications. Ewing
replied " that they could not fight without some
thing to eat "
Many of the papers seem to discredit the state
ment that Crittenden was in command at Logan's.
Such, however, is the fact. All the rebel prisoners
assert that he was. Captain Ewing, who bore the
flag of truce, so said. And as conclusive evidence,
there was found the original general order, which
Crittenden issued on the RI of January, announc
ing his assumption of command, and the names of
his staff officers.
Crittenden is a used-up man. It were far better
that he had fallen like "old Zolly,"Jeading his
boys against the enemy. I am told that as he
passed through Monticello, he looked 4 ; like one
who treads alone some banquet hall deserted."
In looking over some of "old Zolly's" papers
which, "owing to circumstances beyond their con
trol," his friends were induced to , leave behind,
' some documents were found. Some of them will be
specially interesting to Kentuckians. " Old Zolly"
seems to have been in the habit of keeping memo
randa. ..He kept memoranda of all that was so
ported to him as having been said by Union men in
Tennessee. Them 'Were nicely folded and backed
"Dangerous men—watch them." Amongst his
papers was found a letter from General, then Lieut.
Nelson, written in July last from Cincinnati to
George M. Adams at Barboursville . This letter
was of course stolen by the rebels from the mail or
from Adams' house when they robbed it last fall.
But the most curious of all the documents is a me
morandum in Zollicoffer's own handwriting, a
literal copy of which is as follows. The original is
herewith enclosed :
Confidential friends John Bonham, Esq.,
Bowling Green, ; Hon. Wash. Ewing, Bus.
sellville, Ky. ; Hon. Joseph Lewis, Glasgow, Ky. ;
Peebles or Nat. Gaither, John Dishman, Esq.,
Barboursville, Ky.; Bon, Samuel Bowles, State
Senator, Burksville ; Hon. James Chrisman, Mon
ficelfo, Ky. ; William Turner, (hotel -keeper,) Mt.
Pleasant, Harlan county, Ky.; Mr. Ed. Gibson,
Manchester, Clay county, Ky.
Thus "Murder will out." The name of Shelby
Coffee is also on the memorandum, but it has been
erased.
Zolly not only had male but female spies in the
midst of us. Alongside the memorandum of male
spies, and in the same bundle, is a note from a
woman living at Somerset, giving him exact in
formation about the amount of the united forces,
at Somerset, on December 4. Zolly backs that
note as follows : "Memorandum of a lady con
cerning
the enemy at Somerset." Who doubts
but that the rebels have female spies all over the
State? Louisville is fuller them, and they belong
to the wholesale mercantile,. pork, bagging, and
rope class. Yet they still live in fine houses, while
the poor sick soldiers of the Union army are
suffering for the want of proper hospital accommo
dations.
The question used to be, " Who killed Tecum
seh ?" It is now, " Who killed Zolly?" There is
no doubt that Col. Fry killed him. He says that
he did. Various men saw him do it. At first all
conceded that ho killed Zollicoffer. But as soon as
it was discovered that Fry was likely to win some
reputation from having done that glorious deed,
immediately oprung up numerous scutostants foe
the honor of taking the breath out of Zolly's body.
*his and that man did the deed, because, says one,
I am certain of it, and won't lie about a matter of
that kind. "Be airy," ambitions young man, and
wait for the next battle. No doubt you will have
a chance to "slew" some "big Injun." Render
Fry things that are Fry's. The Fry stock has
"Az," He and his regiment have shown of what
stuff the Union men of Kentucky are made.
The Official List of Killed and Wounded
at(he Battle near Somerset.
A. correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial)
in a letter dated January 27, says:
The Federal loss, in killed and wounded, is now,
at last, officially reported in full, Up to to-day it
was almost impossible to obtain accurate and com
plete returns, owing to the scattering of the wound
' ed and the ;movies of the respective regiments from
point to point. From accounts received at General
Thomas' headquarters, it appears that, so far, the
Tenth Indiana has dead, 14, wounded, 70; the
Second Minnesota, dead 12, wounded, 33; Ninth
Ohio, 7 dead, wounded, 28, (including Lieutenant
A. G. Burt, aid to Colonel McCook;) Fourth Ken
tucky, to dead, 23 roundod ; Wplford'a Otivary ! 3
dead, and 19 wounded; one private of Whetmore's
battery is also reported killed, thus making an ag
gregate of 47 dead, and 172 wounded—a total of
219.
I chose the term dead in preference to killed in
the above, inasmuch as five or six of the 47 have
died of wounds since the battle. The number of
dead will probably be increased by 016Vefi
twelve more. Three more of the wounded of the
Tenth Indiana, and eight of those of Wolford's ca
valry, are not expected to recover. Among the
dead are three officers : Lieutenant Millar, of
Wolford's cavalry ; First Lieutenant McAdams, of
the Tenth Indiana, and Lieutenant Ha es, of the
Fourth Kentucky. all killed in the battle. Of
wounded officers there are thirteen: Col. MeCook,
Lieut. A. G. Burt,.Capt. Joseph, Lieuts. Nepper
and Baumgartner, of Ninth Ohio, (latter three
slightly); Major Miller, and Lieutenants Miller
and Schumats, of Tenth Indiana, slightly, and
Lieutenant Johnson, of same regiment, severely;
Captains Vaughan and Williams, of Fourth Ken
tucky ; and Crptain Markham and Lieut. Stout, of
Second Minnesota, also slightly.
The' abet loss will probably never be ascertained.
I am informed by one of Gen. Thomas' staff officers
that, in addition to those buried on the Monday,
Tuesday; and Wednesday, after the battle, other
bodies have since been daily found in the bushes,
and that the total number buried up to this date is
over two hundred. Of wounded, seventy-eight
were left to our care, ten of whom died since. The
captured surgeons acknowledge that all their
Slightly wounded were gotten off. Their aggregate
loss in killed and wounded on the battle-field was
probably no less than three hundred and fifty. But
their stampede across the river proved, as is now
known, almost as disastrous as the Federal artillery,
muskets, and bayonets. After reaching the right
bank the whole chaotic, panic-stricken mass rushed
upon the steamboat and flatboat, that were their
only means of crossing. The latter was in a Me.
'pent fitted, and a rush ensued, during which many
were pushed off and drowned. A number of fugi
tives, in their anxiety to get across, also hung
themselves to the sides of the boats. But few of
these got over. Others, in their senseless fright,
ran into the river and tried to swim across. All of
these found-a watery grave. How many lost their
lives in this manner is, of course, unknown; but
the many bodies found washed on islands, and both
banks of the river, during the last few days, indi
cater that they were not few. Thus, Ball's Bluff has
been avenged.
The greater proportion of rebels killed on the
field, compared with our loss, is accounted for by
the better marksmanship of our men, and the supe
riority of their armament.
Of rebel prisoners, about one hundred and fifty
have thus far been taken. Many of these had scat
tered through the woods on this and the other side
of the river, turd came out and gave themselves up
to escape starvation. Others unsuspectingly re
turned to the fortifications from furloughs, after wo
had occupied the entrenchments. It is a cause for
congratulation that DO more prisoners were taken
by us. Our supplies are hardly sufficient for the
sustenance of our own men ; and, the condition of
the roads daily growing worse instead of improving,
renders the prospect of short rations hourly more
certain.
Since the stars and stripes have been raised at
and opposite. Mill Spring, large additional spoils'.
have been secured. Several hundred horses, mules
and beef-cattle were found in the brush around the
springs, bringing the number of captured draught
animals up to nearly two thousand. The horses,
and mules, however, are mostly in very poor con
dition, and unfit for work. The rebel cavalry will
miserably mounted. They tried to swim their
horses aoreaa, while making over themselves on the
boats; but all that were not drowned returned to
where they started.
The captured artillery and about a thousand
stand of arms—flint and percussion lock muskets—
have all been brought to this place, and are now
stored about Gen. Thomas' headquarters. Among
the former ' there are two 10-pound rifled Parrot
guns and two smoothbore 6-pounders. The re
mainder are iron 12-pound howitzers, and 5 and
4-pound arrieeth - bore pieces of little value. The
carriages, caissons, tumbrils, etc., are all of Nash
ville manufacture and excellent make. A broad
C. S. is painted on all of them. The two brass
pieces were yesterday turned over to Capt. Whit
more's battery.
The rebel entrenchments were occupied, after the
battle, by the whole of Gen. Carter and Col. Man
son's brigades, and so much of Col. McCook's as had
reached the vicinity. During last and the present
week, however, General Carter and Col. McCook's
marched to this place, and Colonel Manson's alone
remained. The Fourteenth Ohio, Tenth and Fourth
Kentucky encamped in the entrenchments on this,
and the Tenth Indiana in those on the other side of
the river. Conipanies of the last-named regiment
are daily going out on scouting expeditions, extend
ing their excursions as fat south as Monticello, and
bringing in moriii-booty_ - They ; found the whole
road to that town strewn with. guns, guns, knapsacks,
blankets,etc. One caisson, and sixty or seventy
boxes ful of r.pbej clothing, and many horses and
mules, have been captured by them.. .The bulk of
the flying rebels passed through Monticello with
General Crittenden at their head.. They were so
wild with hunger that they rushed into cornfields
and ate the raw,. grain.
On the day Wore yesterday, acting brigadier
Manson visited Monticello with a proper escort.
While there a rebel party entered the town with a
flag of truce, in quest of Zollicoffer and Bailie
Peyton's bodies. Their credentials were dated from
a point thirty miles south of Monticello, thits
showing that the rebels ran fully thirty-two miles
before stopping.
Union men from near the State line brought in
formation to Monticello that the Tennesseans are
leaving the army by the hundreds and going home,
and that not over 2,500 men remain with Critten
den.
The Flag of Truce with the Remains of
ZoMeatier and Payton—General Iliad
nian's Opinion of the War.
A correspondent of the Louisville Democrat,
writing from Munfordsville, Ky., Jan. 31, says :
The flag of truce with the remains of General
Zollicoffer and Lieutenant B. Peyton left camp, this
morning, at eight o'clock, under the coof
Brigadier General Johnston and Assistan t
General Captain Daniel McCook, with ns
Mobilizell and Colliefas spacial staff, an ed
t
by Brigadier General Negley, and a ion
,
surgeon, and two brigade surgeons, Drs. Thuston
and Gross; also,Capt. Terrell, chief of artillery,
and an escort of twenty-five cavalry from Capt. Gra
ham's squadron. The flag of truce proceeded by the
Nashville pike to Rowlett's, and thence to Cave City
to the pike again, where they discovered several of
the rebel cavalry at a distance, who, not observing
the flag, scampered elf at double-quick time, The
flag proceeded on about a quarter of a mile south
of Ritter's, when they came upon the rebel pickets;
under their escort advanced through the rebel
lines to your friend's, Captain Ritter's, where
they arrived at 111 o'clock, when a etail of
rebels proceeded to camp, which is six miles
south of Ritter's, to inform General Hindman.
The General arrived at Ritter's about half past
two o'clock, accompanied by his staff, several
officers, and twenty-five Texan Rangers, who re
ceived the remains of the deceased with due
military honors, and proceeded to their camp.
Gen. Hindman says ho is tired of this unholy
war, and thinks that it will terminate in sixty days,
if at all for years. Gen. Zolliceffer's division sur
geon, who is a prisoner of war, accompanied the
remains to the pickets, and returned with the flag of
truce; which arrived here aboot, six Q'clook P. M.
I have learned that the rebels have felled trees all
along the turnpike to prevent the transportation of
army stores and munitions of war. I learn thiot
the truce saw several ponds of water with dead cat
tle lying in them.
GEN. HALLECK'S DEPARTMENT.
A Probable Expedition Against Fort
Henry.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican,
writing from Cairo under date of Jan. 31, says :
From appearances this evening there is to be an
immediate move against Fort Henry, fifty-five miles
above the month of the Tennessee river, and where
about four thousand rebel troops are stationed,
Fur days steamers have been engaged carrying re
giments from this point to Paducah and Smithiand.
Seven thousand or more men have been rred
in this manner within a week, ostensi the
purpose of giving them good camping- ut
leading careful observers to antioipat ed
object.. Late this evening I learn-tha e
new g.unboata—the Essex, St Louis, el,
and Cancazfnati—leave in the morning for Padu
cah. Their brews have been strengthened secretly
during the day by detachments from other vessels,
everything about them put in readiness for action,
and Commodore Foote will himself take command.
There is but little doubt that the expedition is
destined to act against Fort Henry, and if so, a de
cisive victory may be expected.
Sufficient transports will probably be taken to
convey six thousand troops to a point near the scene
of operations, where they can be disembarked and
at once thrown into the rear of the fort. The gun
boats, six in number, and including the Conestoga
and Lexington, will at once get in position atahort
range ' and shell the enemy from their entrench
ments. Careful reconnoissances mad a thorough
knowledge of the defences obtained from spies, de
monstrate that this can be done. No casemates pro
tect the rebel soldiery, while our gunners will be
able to work behind iron shields, capable of resist
ing, the heaviest shot. At the same time the battle
will be a thorough test to the new gunboats, telling
in what way they are deficient, and exactly what
they can accomplish. If successful, the demorali
zing effect to the rebels at Columbus will be great,
who twill see a similar reduction of their own bat
teries possible while the Tennessee river -will be
accessible for - Union fleets to enter the very heart
of the Secession territories. Of course, everything
regardin . to military movements yet to take place
mast be in a manner a-uesswork, and the present
expedition may be destined for some unthought-of
point, yet probability indicates Fort Henry, and the
naval officers themselves think that their destina
tion.
The following is the armament of the fort as de
scribed by deserters from its garrison: Two sixty
four-pound guns, one thirty-two (breech -leading,)
a rifled twenty-four, and nether not rifted, three
six-pounders, and two twelve•pound howitzers—in
all ten guns. On the opposite bank is a concealed
battery mounting a couple of heavy cannon.
In regard to affairs hero at Cairo, the principal
events of interest have been the cons tant arrival of
troops by river and rail. Eight thousand have
reached this point within a week, and four more
regiments and seven batteries are expected to-mor
row.- As those ro far arrived have been at once
sent on to Stnithland and Paducah, the troops for
the expedition will be taken from those points.

MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
Major Israel Vogdes
Amongst the hostages held by the rebels for the
privateers which were discharged on Monday from
the charge of piracy, no one has been of more
service to the Government than Major Israel
Vogdes.
Knowing that a biographical sketch of him would
be welcomed by our readers, we take great plea
sure in laying the following facts before them:
He was born August 4, 1810, in Willistown town
ship, Chester county, of Revolutionary stook. In
early life showing a strong disposition to study,
his father placed him at an academy. After re
maining there for some time, at his own earnest
solicitation, scoonded by the assistance of his rela
tive, Colonel Isaac Wayne, (son of Mad Anthony,)
he entered West Point as a cadet in July, 1833. In
June, 1837, he graduated' with high honors, and
was appointed a second lieutenant in Company A,
of the First Artillery. Ile was promoted to a first
lieutenancy in July, 1838, and to a captaincy in
August, 1897.
From the time of his graduating until 1810 he
Was stationed at West Point, first as acting assistant
professor of mathematics, and afterwards as assistant
professor of the same.
Ile was then ordered to join his regiment in
Florida, and was in command of Key West until
1856. From there he was ordered to Fort Moultrie,
where be remained until 1858, and from there to
Fortress Monroe, where be wag at the time of the
breaking out of the rebellion.
In February, he was ordered with a portion of
his regiment to go to the relief of Fort Pickens,
which orders were countermanded after they had
embarked on the Brooklyn, and they had to lay
off Pickens until the night of the 12th of April,
when the landing was effe.eted in the fate of an ex
pected attack, in. small boats en a rough sea, with
safety ; and thus saved that stronghold to the Go
vernment.
From that time forward, until everything was
as perfect as it could be made, he was busily en
gaged in devi4ing defences for the fort. In his own
words, "Prom Friday mutt Tuesday I had not six
hours sleep ; the traitors had been tampering with
the garrison." For these meritorious services he
was promoted to the rank of a major
When the night attack was made on Wilson's
Zonaves, Colonel Brown ordered the Major to go
to their relief with one oompany, another being or
dered to follow at 4t interval. On nearing the
camp be heard sounds in his rear, and, supposing
it to be the intended reinforcement, be returned to
give them the neoessary orders. They proved] to
be a body of the rebels who were engaged in cut
ting off the retreat of the Zouaves, and amongst
them was an offi er who had served under the Ma
jor, who, recognizing his voice, bad him secured,
and, being satisfied with their prey, hastened away
with him to their boats.
Since the capture of the rebel privateers Sav;an
vole and the Petrel, and the holding of their crews
for piracy, he has been held as one of the hostages
for their safety, and is confined in the cell of and
treated as aeonderaned felon in tho common jail at
Montgomery, Alabama.
By his release the Government will again have
the services of an able, well tried, and loyal offi
cer, who has eontributed valuable SOITIOW to the
country during his whole military career.

The Rebel Enlistments
The New York TV orld' .5- Washington correspond
cut says ;
There is a misapprehension throughout the coun
try with regard to the time in which the rebel
soldiers' term of enlistment expires. There were
not more than ten thousand troops—that is, regu
lar twelve-months troops—in the South at the time
that Sumpter fell. The present rebel army has
been organized since that time, contemporaneously
with our own. A few regiments, whisk will dis
band between now and May, will not sensibly di
minish the efficiency of that army so far as num
bers are concerned ; but it is known that troops
whose term of enlistment is nearly expired will
not fight with the same ardor as those whose mili
tary career is before them. This fact we learned,
to our cost, at Bull Run. If the war 13hould be
prolonged to May, the defective organisation of the
rebel army will become of use to us, but until
that time we must expect to meet them in as great
numbers as heretofore. In connection with this
matter it is welt to state that now it is known that
the total Il ve force of the rebel army cannot k
exceed th ndred thousand men. The rebel
newspaper t that they have only arms for two
hundred and twenty-five thousand men, comprising
old flint-lock muskets that were stolen from the
United States arsenals, and not more than fifty
thousand English rifled muskets, which we now
know are not an effective weapon. Against this re
bel force we will have an army of six hundred thou
sand men, as well armed and equipped as any troops
in the world. When the fight commences it will
be found not only that our troops are better armed,
but that we have at least two cannons to the rebels'
one on every field where we engage them.
Important Scouting Expedition.
A small scouting party, under Captain garknele,
of Colonel Miller's Fighty•first Pennsylvania Vo
lunteers, in General Howard's brigade, which went
out a few days since from General Sumner's divi
sion, has safely returned to camp with considera
ble valuable information. They proceeded nearly
twelve miles along the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad, and scoured the country between Burk's
Station and Fairfax Court Rehm They . etwer :
twined the positions of the enemy's outposts, and
heard the beating of the rebel drums. They found
that a young man, residing beyond our lines, who had
been frequently seen about our encampments, was
in the habit of conveying information to the enemy.
He was arrested and sent to headquarters in Wash
ington for examination. The day before his arrest
be was in Alexandria, with a few artielce which he
purchased there. He went out to the house of
Widow Taylor, who is his aunt. He says be told
his aunt's folks that some of our pickets were post
ed at his gate. Widow Taylor has at least one
son in the rebel army. A squadron of Stewart's
rebel cavalry had been at her house about a week
ago, and bad taken forty-three head of cattle from
people residing in that neighborhood. The recon
mamma was well conducted, and proved entirely
successful.

The announcement that the 11eY, 4 1, V,. grovel . , D, Do
of New York, would lecture at Concert Thbll, on Tuesday
evening, attracted a large audience. The notoriety of the
lecturer, the peculiar character of hie theme, and the ob
ect in behalf of which the lecture was given, wore well
calculated to contribute to this result. Althoughnot popu
larly known Its a lecturer, titers aro few men to the entait
who have by their pen more effectually won their way
into popular recognition, than George Darrell Cheerer.
e belongs to a class of Now England raiicals, which,
to-day, more than at any former period In our history,
is notonly tolerated, but admired. Dr. Cheever's record
on the slavery question is toe well known to have loft
room fur surprise at his extreme views delivered in this
lecture. Lis style, no a lecturer—his gestures, voice, and
chtieheeis—may be described as the reverse of eogent,
although this is in some degree atoned for by his hulas-
Cloned earnestness.
Be commenced bis lecture by saying tint the progress
of the dreadful rebellion, that had brought the very life
of this nation In peril, made the circumstances of this
boor more solemn than had ever been experienced by
a ny otheT Wilton on earth, excepting the Jews. And
what was much to be regretted was, that so many oppor
tunities had been lost effectually to crush It. We had
stood idly by, waiting for events to transpire, instead or
creating them. We had literally « stoat still to eee the
salvation of God," as was said, in a way, by certain con
servatives respecting this struggle.
Some members of the United States Senate had recently
said in him, in view of thin procrastinetion, that they
feared this would be the last semion of the American
Congress that would ever be held. Emancipation, int
mediate emancipation, was our only salvation. And one
thing would come, said the speaker ; the slaves wilt be
delifered." [A voice. Hear, hear.] Yet if this delive
rance came through other hands, it would not result in
our salvation. If, the instant that Fort :Sumpter bad been
fired upon, the emancipation of the slaves had beentleclared
by the Covernment, there would have ben a unanimous
and united North to sanction that movement And what
had we gained by this delay 7 Nothing. Bather than
hazard the friendship of the Border States the most fa
vorable opportunities to crush the rebellion had been
sacrificed. Thus, he said, our troops had had it in their
rower to have conquered tho whole of North Carolina in
atiii week from their landing at port Hamm, but they
were not permitted to de so. We had purchased the neu
trality of the Border States by the sacrifice of the rights of
the slave. Then, again, at another critical juucture,...Gen.
Fremont. [the mention of whose name was greeted with
boisterous applause,] if permitted, would have freed the
State of Missouri from slavery. But Fremont had net
teen allowed to puratie A conquering career, the
leeiiiior characterized-as the most illiqllitOUS mistake yet
made in the prosecution of the war. Alas, alas the re
sult of that dreadful mistake was stilt upon mg, and ho
hoped that it was ordained in the providence of God to
replace Fremont in de post from which he had been, he
alleged, unjustly removed.
Procrastination had been our bane. Two months and
a half ago, mid the lecturer, a vigorous course on the
Southern coast would have placed Charleston and Savan
nah in mar hands without the lost on our part of a single
score of nen. This was no mere supposition, but a de
monstrable fact. had thenanic which was known to have
existed there at that time been taken advantage of. Had
the same inefficient course been pursue:l in the days of
Napoleon and Wellington, the delinquent generale would
have been cashiered.
This free and sweeping criticism upon the inefficient
manner in which the war was being pi °scented, was con
tinued at some length.
But to hd,e up his subject more syeteMatiCilily, ho
pror...sed to ceeM,lee Bea, what was italics to the MAYO
secondly, what was justice to the rebels; and, thirdly,
what wasjustice to ourselves ?
Under the ,firet of these heads, an extended legal dis
cession was entered upon, in which the reverend lecturer
expressed the most extraordinary and overwhelming
surprise that the Constitution of the United States had
never been properly understood in the limited extent of
its recognition of slavery. He further argued that the
action of the seceded Stakes had literally made omancl
pstrion an existing fact, so that by the very act of the
rebellion every slave was free. And yet, in the face
of this, every slave that had escaped into our linea
had been seized as a slave, and held as such.
This, he said, was a monstrous wrong, and every
general
that had lent hie hand in its accomplishment was
a man. stealer t and the President, And every member of
hie Cabinet who had sanctioned it, or taken one step to
wards withholding from those escaped slaves their right
ful freedom, was nothing less than a usurper. He con
tended that we had no right, neither under laws human
or divine,- to recognize these so-called "fugitives" as
slaves. This was the only condition (the fugitive) in
which this Government took any cognizance of them et
all; and what, he would ask, became of this when the
masters of these slaves were transformed lido fugitives
'annulus; as they had been by their act of rebellion I
'Weald he, the Union should be reconstructed with
slavery in it, it would be the most heinous and God
defying act that the world had ever looked upon. Such
an set would consign to bondage millions of persons en
titled to freedom by every consideration of justice. God
forbid that this war should be ultimately fomul to hare
been waged for the perrirtuite of alfrissi-y- Cod would
never Buffer victory to attend our cause it this was our
design, and we should find that if there was not right
eoesness enough in the people to launch their strength
against slavery, there would be villainy enough in them
to establish a despotism. [Great applause.] The preju
dice that existed against mere color was most unreason
able and unjust. He had been mertified ant astounded
on reading some days ago, that an officer—he would not
mention his name—bad ordered the United States uni
form to be at, ippeel from certain men in the city of Wash
ington, because the color of their skin happened to be
dark ; and he said he would rejoice - in his heart and give
glory to God, if that same officer, on some flue morning
when he was about to " review the army on the Poto
mac," would wake up and find his own skin as black a s
jet. [Laughter.] Washington had not thought the.
American uniform disgraced in being worn by a colored
man, and he, the lecturer, thought this hellish rebellion
ought to be put down, if in doing so we accepted the ser
vices of men covered with soot from the bottomless pit.
[Renewed laughter.]
He said he hail much more to say abotit the inefficiency
with which the war wee being carried on, and would do
so on 'Thursday evening, in the same hall. He had
just come front a conversation with a newspaper corre
spondent, recently expelled from Port Royal on aczount
of some revelation he had made in hie lettere. He said
that the young man in question was in possession of
facts which lie hoped would yet be made public if they
had to be dragged out by a committee of Congress.
The inspiration offreePat Wa4 the only Mania° which
coma ever carry an army to victory. Let this hut be
understood, and when the coffers of Wall etreet, and
State street, and Third street were empty, the people
would be to the Government an inexhaustible treasury,
"without money and without price "
He was in favor of having it proclaimed that slaves
everywhere should rise and Acrid against rfkis for Me
Union. This was . right, certainly. Oh, but this would
be a serene insurrection.' some sensitive philanthropist
would exclaim. And what, he wJuld ask, in reply
to this, was our movement at the North but a ser
vile insurrection against our quondam masters of the
Southern slave oligarchy I If we admitted that the
allegiance of the slaves was due to the United States,
then It was most . unquestionably their duty to rise and
strike for the Union the very inetant that God gave them
the opportunity. Contrary to all reasonable expectation,
slavery in the District of Columbia had not yet been
abolished, 'which should have been the very first act of
Congress at their assembling. Instead of this, the bill
introduced for that purpose bad been tabled, and he had
been told that there was little chance of its passage this
session. So, too, we still retained on our statute books
that burning disgrace, the fugitive-slave law.
In refusing to make this a war for freedom we were
not only thwarting the commands of God, but we ware
stultifying ourselves and paralyzing the aline Of the
'people.
In taking up tho second part of his subject, whi.ch was,
what constitutes justice to the rebels, he thought that a
righteous retribution ought to be dealt out upon the heads
of their ringleaders. lie thought they ought to be con
demnet to death. This was, in fact, God's decree timtinst
th 91 31, And if the war wan but conducted on God's prin.
eiples, it Would be closed in loss than a month. Justice
also required that the rebel ptates should be con
quered, and held as conquered . Territorles. Then;
if the fugitive-slave clause in the Constitution should
be insisted upon, he thought that it would be
but fair that the whole mass of siaveholders should be of
fered up as a holocaust in expiation fOr their Paßt
tencee, i, e., let them exchange places with those they
have so long enslaved, by thomsolvos becomidg the
"mutlsills" of society; by being exposed in the market to
.the highest black bidders; by becoming themselves the
foundation stones of their „ peculiar institutions." This
would bo simply meting out to then, strict justice, by
doing unto them as they had done unto others. Re knew
the mind svotdd r • evolt at the very thought of enslaving
* tiles aid its rostokity . forever, 0114 be would, thorofuro,
not insist upon it, with a few exceptions. Jeff Davis,
for example, he would vote to be made a slave of to
morrow, if Ile had the chance, and he believed every
Other honest man would vote for the same thing.
In conclusion, he read the form of an emancipation
proclamation which be would like to see issued binour
Government, which was warmly applauded.
The. third proposition of his subject, as, announced
above, was not reached, although 'l l l'l. ap,ke mail nearly

w some doubt rests over the future action of the hank*
in regard to demand notes. As they are not used in the
clearing house as a medium of exchanges, they aro accu
mulating to an inconvenient amount in the vault, of such
banks as receive them, A proposal to make half the ex—
changes at the Claiiring-lionee in these notep, which woo,
offer an outlet for them, does not seem to meet with much
favor, and the current rumor to-day was that, now that
the banks have paid up their liabilities to Government,
they will generally refuse to receive demand notes in pay
ment of notes or on deposit. As they form a very large
portion of the currency of the country, this discredit
thrown upon them by the banks would operate very nn
favorably.. The bank managers should at once bold a
meeting, an adopt a liberal policy in regard to this mat
ter. The public would consider it rather high ground for
theta geetletnen tO Me to Welt out the promises of the '
Government, although irredeemable, while their own
notes are in the came category; and we know theta large
majority of our bank officers are truly desirous of using
these notes in the transaction of their business, if a policy
could LP agreed upon which would be equal in its opera
tion. lint, in the present circtimstanct pi, the free recep
tion or these notes by a bank makes it debtor in the
clearing-house, where it la obliged to settle its balances
in loan certiflcatee, upon which it pays 7 4pe cent, in
terest. This position of things has already had the effect
of contracting the loans of the banks to the public, as
there is no profit to a bank in making a loan even at
4F cent. interest, Which, When chocked evilest and eet.

cent interest. It is evident that Government notes of
some description are to form, for some time to come, the
currency of the country, and we are confident that the
banks are ready to meet the necessity in the best spirit;
but their action must, in justice, be general. As to the
legal-tender clause, which just now appears to be out of
favor in Congress, we believe that three-quarters of the
bank presidents of this city desire its adoption.
