Delaware County. * A good county history is-always a deside ratum. Of Philadelphia there is none, as yet. In the fulness of time, perhaps, Mr. Thomp son Westcott may be able to fulfil his promise, and give us the result of his labors of collec tion apd composition. Delaware county, our next neighbor, is more fortunate. Its Insti tute of Science desired, many years ago, to collect and preserve all written, printed, .or oral, that might illustrate its local . history. As mostly happens, when many have to do a thing, what was all men’s work was nobody’s work, and very little was done. At last, Mr. Joseph Edwards, a member of the Institute, devoted himself to the collection and colla tion of local facts, and was deputed to - weave, them into a County History. Considerfng.his frail health, he devoted himself with great energy to this work, and, at the period of his death, had brought his narrative down to the commencement of William I’enn’s Govern ment. The Institute then confided: the 1 task of) completing the work to Dr. George Smith, of Upper. Darby, and the result is the volume before us. Dr. Smith found Mr. Edwards’ manuscript voluminous, and; not always quite as ; correct in facts as was desirable. To abridge it would have involved great labor; ' Dr.' Smith com menced de novo , arid, instead of a continua tion, wrote the history from the beginning. The result has bcon this handsome volume of 588 pages octavo, illustrated with maps,.wood cuts, lithographs, and autographs, and con taining, Ibesides the historical part, accounts of the geology, ornithology, climate, and population of Delaware county; also biogra phical notices, in alphabetical order/of .early settlers and eminent men of .the county/ also an appendix, with a copious index to the varied contents of the whole volume. In his preface, the characteristic of which, is modesty, Dr. Smith mentions the sources; whence much of his information is derived/ He says : “It was soon found that the most interesting facts connected with the early his tory of the county were scattered , through the. voluminous manuscript records of tbe Society of Friends, the records of our early courts, and the records of the county, now in the office at West Chester, the records in the Surveyor General’s office at Harris burg, and in the several offices of the city of Philadelphia. These have been carefully-ex amined, so far as they relate to early times ; and, although their examination required the expenditure of much time and labor, the .re ward has been so ample that it may now be safely said that no history of the county would have been" worthy of fhß name which did not embrace the nuirierous local facts de rived from these sources.” Dr. Smith also- examined, mid thereby en riched his boob, the- unpublished records at Albany, N. Y., and those at New Castle, in the State of Delaware.; He adds: « The ex amination of these records made the author familiar with the early settlers embraced within the limits of our county; how they lived, where they lived, and from whence they came. This gave rise to the idea of the map that exhibits the county as it was at the time of its first settlement, or shortly afterwards.” Indeed, maps abound among the illustrations ,of this History. The map of the early settlements of Dela ware county is on a large scale, nearly four inches to the mile. The map of the county as it is now is upon a still larger scale*; The ' man of a part of Roggoveen’s Map of New ■■jnetherland, - fioxa Tmfi the Schuylkill, is very curious, and' especially go is a colored Geological Map- of Delaware County, drawn by Benjamin H. -Smith and R. L. Barnes. Numerous diagrams are intro duced, with views of public and private edi fices of interest, past or present, and views of Media, Upland, KollyviUe, and other local ■'places.- __ There are several pages offac-similes of the early settlers, and also Autograph letters from David- Lloyd, Jacob Taylor,’ and Benjamin West, the painter, who was bom at Spring field, then in Chester, but now in Delaware county. A neat view of the house in which he was bom is also given. The drawings, we notice, are by C. P. Thaley ; the lithograph, ingby Bowen & Co; the maps by Messrs. Smith &. Barnes. There is one engraving on steel, by John Sartain. Dr. Smith acknowl edges his obligations to Dr. Thomas P. Jame 3, and to Mr. John Cassin, of Philadelphia, (both natives of Delaware county)—to the first for his catalogue of Mosses, to the other for the catalogue of the Quadrupedsandßirds. The history.of Delaware county, from the first visit of Heinrich Hudson to the bay, in 1609, to the actual assumption of the govern ment by William Penn, in 1682, occupies 138 pages; the continuation, down to our time, fills 240 more; and the notices of the particu lar townships or municipal districts into which ; the county has been divided are contained in 120 more. As the history has very much the : character of Ancalsf the year-date is placed, all through; at the head of each page. _ The Dutch first had possession of the dis trict, as part of; New Netherlands of which Manhattan, now Now York, was the capital. , In 1688, a party of Swedish traders com menced a colony on the Delaware, on the land ■= now occupied by, Chester; then called Upland. ; In 1664, New Netherlands changed masters,- being granted by Charles 11. to his brother, the Duke of York, in whose name the pro vince was then taken possession of. Ia 1680 J Charles If., by patent, transferred part of these territories to William Penn, the Quaker, from whom the district, now the Keystone. State, was called Pennsylvania. Col. William Markham arrived after, as Penn’s Deputy-, Governor of his province. At this time the entire population of what was. then called Upland county was about 500, of which a third resided in what is now known as Dela ware county. In October, 1862, Pehn arrived from England; and immediately assumed su l . preme authority as proprietor of his province..' Landing at Upland, he capriciously changed; that Swedish name to Chester, from the Eng lish , city where one of his friends was born. ’ Immediately after, he planned and settled;the city of Philadelphia : The rest is well known, and the general history of Delaware county merges into that of Pennsylvania. The do ' tails are related, without tedionsness, by Dr. Smith. In 1789 an act of the Legislature divided Chester county, creating part of it into Delaware county. • One feature in' this County history is of some novelty and great importance* ' Instead , of interrupting his narrative by introducing biographical notices of; persons who figure in it, Dr. Smith gives these notices, in dictionary . form, in a supplementary part of the volume. This occupies seventy-six pages, and con veys a great deal of personal and other in formation which could not otherwise have been introduced, but which adds to the value and interest of the Work. The notices of John Evans and John Bertram, the botanists; of Thomas Eilis, the Welshpoet; of Dr. Jona than Morris; of Samuel Sellers; ot Thomas Spry, the first lawyer on the Delaware; and of Benjamin West, and - his kinsmen, are particularly interesting. From this last we learn that, though West’s father mar ried a Quaker, soon after his arrival in 1714, he was not then a member of the'so ciety, of Friends] nor was the marriage ac complished according to the mode of the Friends. Benjamin West, born in 1738, was twenty-one years old-before his father (in 1769) was admitted into membership with the Friends. Dr. Smith states “ The only early paintings of Benjamin West that the author • * Hiitory of 1 daware County, Pennsylvania, from tto Discovery of the Territory lnclndedwitnin 1(8 Limits to the present time; with a notice of the Geology of the,.

They were the children of John and Elizabeth Mar ris, the maternal grandparents of Mrs. Worth ington.” The girl was five or six, and the boy about three or four years old, at the time that the portraits were executed. West is supposed to'have painted them about the year 1752, when-he was fourteen years old. Dr. Smith says i « They exhibit considerable pro ficiency in the art, and the picture of the boy is iu a good state of preservation.” Wo take leave of Dr. Smith and his local history .with 'gratitude and respect. He has executed a m|>st difficult work with industry and ability, aid not the Delaware County In stitute of Science alone, hut the State gene rally is greatly indebted to him. , ... A Card from General Tyler. HbAdq’es. TylkiVs Brig., 3d Div. stu Army Corps, ' ; -Damp nesr Falmouth, Va., JSov, 24.; To Ihe Editor tf The Freer: Sir: My. attention hss just boon oalled to a letter, from Hoadauarters Army of the Potomac, dated at Bsc-, torstown, Bov. 9,.1862, over the signature of «N,”in your paper of the 13th Inst,,in which the wrlter,unie r the head of Pennsylvania Regiments, alludes to Gian. Humphries’ division, of which my brigade forma a part. Heeayr, “ These two brigades in aneation -were those of Briggs’, commanded by Col. Aiiebaoh, of the 13Ut Pfiußjlvania, end of Tyler. AUsbaoh’s command con eieted of the 123 d, 131st, 133 d and 155th Pennsylvania. That of Gen. Tyler included the 91st, 128th, 129th and 134thPennsylvania.We passed but three farmhouses adjoining the march, the kitchen gardens of which were overran with soldlersywhile.oabbage flew thrcugh the air in myriads, to be caught by ccmrades.in the road.

Unless>e misunderstands them, " they were intended as a signal expression of devotion to that trusted and belovel youßg general! But devotion ' to a general, however; pcpular and richly endowed with talents, and by natnre magically Qualified to attract and bind roldiersfo him otghf not to be allowed to inter rnpt for a moment the loyal and intimate relations which should’ ever unite the eadier to bis flag, nnd the citizen to the State. . ... •. '• • . Commanding a brigade composed .principally of Irish soldiers, the brigadier geiernl considersit not out of place to remind them that the/great error of the Irish people, in their struggle for an; independent national existence, : has been tbeir paselona&'and b’ind adherence to an indi vidual, instead of to a principle or a cause. Thus, for generations, their herolcefforts in the right direction have been feverish and/epaentdic, when they should have been continuous, equable, aci consistent. The placing on the'ptbliorecords tho'resignations re ferred to would have tetewed In the history,of this coun try, to the disparagemeit of our race, this fafai.error.of a nature which is at ono< so vehement arid so weak, so faithful and yet so way vard, ao'variable in' great uodor tablngsuhd jet so parßlikent-jn those lesser ones which merely concern'a chief,a prince, or the favorite political leader of the idayi. 7 Tft this reason. also, the brigadier general declined to appfdve and 4 forward theredgaatlonß s jn.Queetion. But there was another reason Kill. At this moment, when the Union army ; confronts the forces of - theenemy, and abattipof the gravest conssQuence to the authority and gratdeur of the American nation Is close at hand, the brigsdier general holds if to be the sacred duty of eyerjcoTUckrpf .the brigade to appear at the head .of .hlsimem midiwlth. them generoasly and heariily ebaro ttle forftioey ef the day. Ohrloved and hoDjred comrades—those who cirried mntfeets as well as thoer wbodarrisd swoids—who died the death of heroes in the swampr and woods , before Bichmond, from FairQaka !o Malvern Hill, would torn away their faces from us in ;their /glory, aud‘ disown us. with a parting wave, if the hand; which in this life did its sworn work so grandly, were they to behold us acting in contradiction of the example they set us, and to fur nish u» with which ttey. were prodigal of their bean ing youth with all its premises, of their matured manhood with all its fruits, of tbeir homes, their liver, their very . graves beside their kiidred—welcoming and challenging, 9s theyrdid, the death-etrokeiu ecstasies of disinterested ness and courage,. ] To stand, then, by tie brigade at this moment is a duty frem which nothing but absolute physical incapacity should, or can, exonerate an officer.'

Laoranok, Tenn., Nov. 24. CAPTURE OF FAULKNER’S GUERIMAS. To-day sixty of Faulkner’s band of guerillas, whose exploits in Weet Tennessee during the last six months hive given them Borne notoriety, were brought in prison ers. They were captured in Ripley, In Tippah county, Mississippi, about thirty- five miles south of here, by the cavalry force under Oolonel Lee; consisting of t! roe bat talions, one each from the 7th Kansas, the 2d lowa, and the 3d Mlohigan Cavalry. Faulkner's band—or regi ment, as they call it—had dwindled down Tory much; .many of the men had got tired of fighting and gone home. 1 here was talk among the rebel authorities of consoripting them and placing them In too regular army, and a convention had been called at ar place ten miles from Ripley, to decide whether they should not recognize and endeavor to carry on the same kind of warfare as they did last summer. Oolonel Lee got wind of the con vention the night before It was to take place, and, by making a very fatiguing march, snoeeedod in getting to Bipley in time to eaptnre sixty of them, who had collect ed at Eipley preparatory to going on to; the convention. Seven of the officers were captured, among whom are Mejor Bogers and Lieutenant Oolonel Hovis, SHORT-LIVED LIBERTY. Major Bogers, who was among the prisoners, had baen a prisoner for some me ntbs paetf had been exchanged, and only five daye ego got back South. ■ CAPTURE OF FORAGE WAGONS. Yesterday a train of twelve wagons, which were out for forage from General Qnimby'a division, at Moscow, were osptnred by a band of guerillas, a few miles south of this place." r “ON TO ABBYVILLE!” Bnmoys have reached here through contrabands and others that the enemy.ls being heavily reinforced at Ab by vtlle and intend to make a decided stand at the Talla hatchie, which Is jnst this sideJof Abby/ville ; but, not withstanding/three rumors, their falling back wherever onr army approaches Eeems to indicate that tooir policy for the war in too West is to bo guided altogether by the course of events in Virginia.

Let ns but gain one de cided victory, then, and Gen. Grant’s army will sweep Mississippi and encamp on tbe shores of the Golf In less than sixty days. FEMALE “ SNUFF-MOrrEßg” OF LAGRANGE. , The female portion of the population of Lagrange has kept iteeir in nun-like seclusion ever since the army en tered the town. What few of them are occasionally visi ble to the naked convey the idea that the young and hendeome part of their Bex must have gone off with the rebel army, or some place else. Among those that are left, and that are occasionally seen, are some who, if their perronal charms do not attract mnok attention, manage to get toemteives stared at by means of one habit to which they are addicted, and which, though not universal among Southern women, prevails to a diEftnsting extent. I mean the habit of “ mop ping,” as it is called. Net mopping the floors, that would he angelic compared to it, but mopping snuff ” which consists in emearing tbe gnms on the outer side of the teeth with Scotch snuff. Tbose addicted to toe disgust ing habit carry a box ofanuff and a small mop, a stick of four or five inches inlength, on tbe end of which is fas tened a rag. - From time to time—with about the same freauenoy that an inveterate snnffitaker pokes the same article np his nostrils—these moppersdip the mop in the box of snuff anc smear it around their gums- It is, how ever, no more than fair to tbe character of Southern wo men to Bay that those who are addicted to thevilehabit are chiefly old.women.: -S' [This custom Is in vogne throughout the South. In North Carolina nearly every female is addicted to the vice. They call it < ! snnff- rnhbing.” Occasionally par ties are given in the “ Old North Btate,” when the gen tlemen retire to a room by themselves to drink whisky, smoke corn-cob pipes, and play poker, while the ladies in the parlor eit around a table open which a large pot or box of mild-scented snuff is placed. Each lady fur nishes herself with a twig, of dogwood, which is very tough in its fibres They chew one end of the twig until the fibres are ail separated and softened, and then dip this brush into the scuff, afterwards rnbbing It around the teeth and gums. This produces what they oall a •‘delightful sensation of drowsiness.” The conversation indulged is little else than “ yes”, and “no,” varied by an occasional tune on an old piano.—Ed. Fbess ] A FEMALE MAJOR. “There goes the Major! I suppose she's going out to ibe review,’' I heard some soldier in the crowd say, as I passed slorg the street yesterday. Wondering at the paradox, X turned to see what major in the army could be entitled to the brevet of she, and saw Mrs Major Belle Reynolds. The Major was mounted.on a Inspirited charger,” as the reporters used to say, (a phrase, by the bye, which might be <* Prentice, d ” to apply to the hotel hrepers ot this country,) which she managed with the readiness of a perfeot horse-woman. Her entire costume was tn militairc—a riding habit of Federal blue, tight fitting to Ihe body, with sleeves like a coat,’ which were ornamented with charming and capriciously lhterwound imitations of ohevrons, in gold braid. On her head she wore a riding cap of the exaot shape of the military pap, hut made of straw, or white horsehair, or some other of those mysterious and nameless fabrics known only to femininity. Over the cap was thrown a black lace veil. MORE TO COME.

Second Division, Major General B. W, Acderacn—Three brigades. - General Bragg commands as the ranking officer, the rank: of general being' tho hlgheet known in the rebel army. Polk and Hardee are two of the new promotions. It is estimated that thiee eleven divisions, with tho ad-, j dition of the cavalry and artillery,’wttl give a force at about forty-five thousand-men, thirty-fiyeihousaod being infantry, eight thonsand cavalry, and ten thousand ar -1 tillery., ' ... - WHERE IT IS ENCAMPED. General Buckner’s division has been for some days past on Bnck river, at a point noitheastof Tultaboma, where, until the 17th instant, it is reported to have been engaged in building winter Quarters. At that date this work ceased, and it was anticipated that, the division would move forward to Murfreesboro,.but it has not done so.. At Tullaboma are the divisions cf Cheatham, Withers, -and B. W. Anderson. These are engaged ih’fortifying a position oh Duck river. How far they have progressed is not known. MOVEMENTS OF THE GENERALS. the 17th Generate Bragg, Cheatham, and Breckin ridge were in Murfreesboro. On the same day an aid de-cemp of Polk’s left Murfreesboro for Tullahoma, and it iB t opposed Polk is there. On November 14tb, Hardee and staff left Shelbyville for Taj etleville, ostensibly to examine the country and etady its advantages. - " General Bragg SEsnincd command of the army on his aarrivl, November 13th, at Tnllahoma.

The effect of it has been to rid the entire Indian country north of the Arkansas river of the enemy. Their defeat and ront on that oocaslon seems literally to have “ stricken terror to their souls.” Intelligent and reliable pertiee, who have arrived here recently from Fort Gib eon (two nephews of “Chief” John Boss, a Ur. Gun ther—a partner of theirs in the mercantile business (here —and others), assure ns that the advance of Cooper's and Btandwalte’s forces, in their hasty flight, reached Fort Gibson at twelve o’clock at night, within fifteen home of ter the termination of the fight at « Old Fort Wayne”—the distance being seventy miles—and that acme of the horses fell dead when the riders dismounted .from them! , They were utterly panto -stricken, and scat tered in every direction. DESERTERS FROM THE ENEMY. But this is not the only frnlt reaped and to bo reaped fwm the brilliant affair referred to. Accompanying' the persons above named from Fort Gibson were some seventy or eighty others, who have come to unite them selves to; this command, and on yeaterda? the greater -portion cf them wore mustered into the United States service a new company in one of the 'regiments of lrdian Borne Gnsrdß. They confidently assert that the power and spirit of the enemy in'the Indian country is entirely broken, and that, with the approach of our forces to Ihe Arkansas river, hundreds of those who have been hitherto acting with the enemy will desert from them and join pnr ranks ’ Mor Is this proceeding confined by any means to the Indians or Oherokeea Only yesterday no less than fourteen citizens of Arkansas came In one batoh as de serters from the rebels, and voluntarily offered to enlist with us, which, I pretnme, they will be allowed to do. ! UNION FEELING IN ARKANSAS. Tbis county, (Benton) as yon may remember, waa strongly in favor of adhering to the Union, and cast a vote of four to one—one thousand to‘two hundred and fifty— against eect ding, at the election held to decide that Question, a year ago in April lost That, although many of her citizens have since been forced in the rebel ranks, under the operation.of their conscription acts, a Strong Union sentiment continues to prevail here, no belter evidence need be required than that, within an htur past, not less than fifty families of white persons have started, in company with one of onr trains, far Fort Scott—the first one sent out since we encamped at thiß point, ten days age—to seek new homes in the North. HARASSING THE ENEMY. Detachments of this army are frequently sent out to scour the country, ascertain the whereabouts of the entmy, and harass Mm wherever found. One of these expeditions returned two nights ago, which had been down to within eighteen miles of Tan Boron, on the Ar kansas river, and done excellent. service. It was under the'command of that dashing and untiring offloer, Col. Cloud, of the 2d Kansas regiment (now commanding the 3d btlgado of this division}, who is rapidly acquiring for himietf the reputation of “ Tha Marion of the Frontier.” Bis Wows upon the emmy—unexpected and vigorous as they usually are—Been, to astonish them. As the writer eveiheard a private soldier express himself, rather em phatically than elegantly, on yeßterday, “ Whenever little Cloud gets a lick at the d—d rascals, they are sure to be Bent h—l- wards!” A BRILLIANT AFFAIR. On Thursday night last, Gen. Blunt ordered out an expedition of the sort referred to, under OoL Cloud, which started at 3 o'clock the following morning, some 400 or 600 strong (cavalry), with two little mountain howitzers, At Oane Hill, some miles south of Fayette, viile (but this side of the Boston Mountains), they came across a force of the enemy, under the lead of Emmett McDonald, formerly of your city. Cloud dashed at tiera, and 5 McDonald dashed Into the mountains, and through them, with our people la hot pursuit. The chase continued, as above stated, to within eighteen miles of Van Bnren, on the Arkansas river; and its fruits were, the capture by Olcud of three thousand rounds of fixed ammunition, six wagons, (their contents mostly burned by the enemy,) a stand.of rebel colors, their bearer having been shot through the head and killed ;■ and a lot of clothes and other article!, with which Cloud returned in trlumph over the mduatains to join his command—the fleet, footed Emmett having escaped his clutches by the Bkin of hie teeth, and by first-rate running. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CAMPAIGN ON THE FRONTIER. To realize folly the extent and value of the services of General Blunt since he took commmand In person, of the Cut division of the army of the frontier, In the field, on the first day of October— jnat six weeks ago to-day—the condition of the Indian country then should be contrasted with that which it now presents, as above stated. Some time in June last, General Blunt, then in command of the Department of Kansas, sent an expedition into’ the Indian country, under the commend of Colonel Weer : the next to him in rank being Colonel Salomon, of the 9th Wisconsin Begiment. Weer advanced to near Fort Gibson, wb«e he attacked the enemy, beat him, and captured Colonel Olarkson, the comm ruder of his forces. The forward movement d;d not seem altogether to suit Ooltnel Salemon, who fell out with Weer, managed! somehow to have him put under arrest, and then, fell hack towards Fort Scott with tho command, where, in due tlme. it arrived sajibj !

GENERAL ItLIiNT ASSUMES COMSiAND. 1 Snch. -was still the condition of the Indian country, when General Blunt, on the first of Ootober, left Fort Scott to take command in person of the Kansas l division ,at Sarcoiie. Starting at 9 o’clock P. M, and riding all night, he reached Sarcoxie at about tha same hour the next night—seventy-five miles in twenty hours. Con- ■ suiting the next day with Generals Sohofield and Totten, an attack on Newtonia was determined on for the follow ing morning at the dawn of day; and, accordingly, the different commands left camp ai ten or eleven o’clock at night, the distance to march to Hewtonia being some nineteen or twenty miles Blunt’s division to go around by Granby, and come into Hewtonia on the northwest, or west, and Totten’s (accompanied, as I understand, by Gen. Schofield,) by the way of Jollification; on the northeast; while 001. Cloud was to go, add did go, with a small force, on tho diroot add shortest road to the place to endeavor to create, if possible, the impression that the entire Federal army was ooming that way. - brunt’s early movements. Bldnt’B division was detained unavoidably upon the route—twice by encountering a vigorous fire from ths enemy’s pickets, once by having to ford Shoal cresk in utter datkness, and again by a heavy raio, that set in an hour before day, and lasted for two hours or more. Ap prehensions were caused thereby that it might be ths last to reach the ground. Instead of that it was the first. Arriving upon the high ridge of prairie west and north west of Hewtonia, the signal guns that had been agreed upon were immediately fired, and the Kansas division was soon in line along the ridge with 11s twenty-four pieces cf artillery playing upon the devoted town. This work had been going on probably half ca tbrae-quarters of an hour, and the enemy had commenced retreating from the town, when the smoke from Totten’s division was first seen three fourths of a milo or to to the north east of the town, .where it was In position with its twelve pieces of ordnance. But the enemy were already on the wing TheHintb Kansas cavalry, and Babb’s Indiana batterr—also: embraced in the Kansas division—fol lowed down to the woods, some two or three miles south of Hewtonia, bnt “ the bird had flown If the division could have made this pursuit white that of General Blunt was attacking the town, the flight might, perhaps, have been cut off. But that, it seems, was not to ba aed thus ended the affair at Hewtonia. Some of the editorial articles in the St touts papers. I regret to see, treated it almost as if there had been no Kansas division - there. The facts in regard to it were, I have reason to know, those above stated. EXPEDITION TO THE INDIAN TERRITORY. The army marched to Fea Bldge, in Arkansas, where, satisfactory advices coming to hand that the enemy had divided his forces, onrs were also divided, to meet the emergency; General Blnnt, with the first division, going west to MaysvUle, and into the Indian country, to over take and thrash Cooper and' Standwaite, with their uni ted forces, at “ Old Fort Wayne,” and to take from them their artillery. The wearisome night marches made to accomplish this, by the Kansas division, two nights in succession,' and the glorious result of that action, have been fully told by General Blnnt in his official report. It is these vigorous night marches, and the manner in which he pushes them, with the unlooked-for attacks at : early dawn, In which he seems to delight, that has al ready made the name of Blnnt one of terror to the foe on this whole frontier; nor will they ever forget his six days' chase after them from Lone Jack la August, when he drove them out of Missouri before. Left to his own voUti»n,.and not called baok, he would undoubt edly have been ten days ago In possession of Fort Smith, within five miles of which his scouts have been, and report no considerable force of tha enemy there. “ OLDNOt.” OP THE WAK.

RICH ORDER FROM HINDMAN. Among the' articles captured by Colonel Olond while upon the trail of tbo flying Emmeit McDonald, was a handbill, printed npon both Bides, under the caption, “Orders of Major General Hindman, organizing the Provost Marshal’s Department,” Borne of these “orders ” are of an extraordinary cha racter, I give yon a copy of one, and the first, as a specimen. It will be seen that this miscreant, Hindman, makes it the “duty ” of his -guerilla end bmbwacklßg bards “ to cut off Federal pickets, scoute;' toragiog parties and trains, and to kill pilots ar.d others on gun boats and transports, aUachiig them night and day, and tiling tht greatest vigor in their movements."

She Grenada Appeal, now published at the town of' Grenada, Mississippi, was formerly the Memphis Appeal, and is at present sustained by a' sort of transient and. military patronage in the “ wild woods” of Mississippi Articles upon the campaigns in the Southwest, by the rebel military leaders, often appear in this paper, and it Is reported that the following is from the pan of bleat. Gen. I; o. Pemberton, commandltg the rebel army of the Mississippi, a native of New York, and formerly an ardent political and personal friend of Horatio Seymour and others now prominently before the country. Hear wbht the General says A recent issue of a Hew York paper speaks in very sanguine terms of the expedition now preparing under Gen. McClernand to open toe Mississippi river.> It re cognizes the importance of tbiswbrkaaa great doty to the Northwestern States. Gen. MoOlernand, it say s, “is a Western man, folly grasping the greatness of the Mb siesippi valley, sympathizing thoroughly with the anxiety of Ibe population of Indiana, lUinols, Missouri, and lowa, for the reopening of the Mississippi river. Bach indivi dual member of the expedition wiU feel a personal inte rest in its success, because, to a certain-extent, the pecu niary prosperity or every one or them wilt be found de pendent on the unobstructed navigation of the Mississippi .Ibis expedition is at this’ time brought conspicuously before the Northwestern States to countervail tho argu ments of Gen. Bragg’s proclamation and to quiet the dis contents which have begnn ro and their earnest and sig nificant utterance. The Timet characterizes it aa tha most “ philosophic’’ expedition that has yet beeh set on foot. In .one sense the word has been well chosen, for, unless all political philosophy is at fault, the alliance be tweenthe ih brthwesterri and the Sew England Slates cannot be nsuob longer maintained, exoept by continuing to humbug the former with such delusive hopss a 3 to roat upon the success of any plan for restoring by arms tha commercial use of tho. Mississippi to the States lying on its upper waters. That alliance is nnm<turaf,iaoonsra eus, end fatally prejudicial to the Northwestern States. . In war or peace, the policy that suits the New England ■ Stater must always be that most unfavorable .to those af the Northwest.. The reasons are well explained by the Knoxville Register, in a late issue. It happens, as that journal says, ihat all the vast manufacturing 'establish ments in the East were only required by” the change in’ the condition of the country; to change the mode rather than the extent arid character of their .employment and industry. The shoemaker of Lynn and North Danvers to day finds a greater demand for the products of his skill than In time of peace; the only change is the light ness and fineness of hiß manufactures. 80, tool with tha spinners'and weavers, and blanket makers, and with all artlzans. The workshops of the North, of every con ceivable dsscripilon, have only changed-the'direction af their labors, and suchiß the destructiveness of armies, that, without the trade of the Booth, the demand for tha products of New England’s Industry is perhaps greater than at any former period in the history of the continent. We can, thereto o, understand why it is that the agri culture! Btatre evince symptoms of dissatisfaction with the ccurse of political events, while New England, urged by fanaticism and Us profitableness, still cries out for blood, end still demands the extinction of ’the South. The West begins to think of peace, while’ the Bast, net satisfied with. all the bloodshed of the-past, demands other victims to be sacrificed on the altar of selfishness, and to satisfy an insatiate love of power and geld. New Bogland is enriched while the Northwest is impoverished by iho war. The agricultural exports from New Eogland are uudi minißhed by tho pending hostilities. Weathersßeld ships as maDy onions os when peace smiled and wielded her sceptre over the land, local armies in’ New England demand air the surplus agricultural products. Iron mongers must build ships and locomotives, and create ail the weapons of war. In train, New England, in her in dustrial pursuits and condition, would be benefited by the indefinite protraction of pending hostilities. . How different the condition of tho Northwestern States 1 These have no new demand for their agrieni tural products. The great market which their reseuraes supplied has been clesed. The Mississippi river is as truly a mare clausum as when we held Oolumbns, Island 10, and New Orleans. The railways which oonneot the West with tbe Atlantic coast belong to Eastern capi talists, and by these such enormous rates of freight are imposed upon tbe products of Indiana and Illinois, that corn, wheat, and bacon are not worth the cost of trans portation. Tbe West, having lost the Southern market, has no excess of production for which there is sale, and the people are in want in the midst of a suparabiusdanoa of tbe prime necessaries of life. < Under there circumstances, wo are not surprised that the West is now clamorous for the destruction of Vicks burg The St. Louis Republican would have its readers believe that if Vrcksburg were razed to’;the groned, and our troops ex pelted,’ then tradewith New ' Orleans would revive, and the suffering Northwest be relioved. We have known from the beginning that it signified . nothing to the Northwest whether Vicksburg was oap tortd or not. Iris only valuable to us by famishing an open route to Texas and Arkansas. ltd possession by the Abolitionists will not affect the commercial condition of the Northwestern States. Even then nothing bat gunboats can navigate “thegreat inland'sea.” Until Lincoln can line both shores of the Mississippi, from Cairo, to New Orleans, with armed men, no trading vee sei'ean navigate its waters. ' ‘ .. Were’Vicksburg captured, the Northwest would soon he satisfied of the utter inutility of further participation ili a struggle for our subjugation. The Democrats of tha West tel,ns that they fight for the Union,; but. with them, this signifies nothing more than free trade on tha Mississippi. They denounce;' as bitterly as wo of the South, the Abolition proclivities of the Federal Adminis tration. They have no sympathy' with New England, further than New England may aid the West in'opening the great river 1o the commerce of the West. ; Such are the opinions betrayed by'the press of 81. Louie and Chicago, and such the declarations of Western officers and soldiers who have been held as -prisoners in the Booth. Twelve months ago a gemlemau proposed to the Confederate authorities to go to the Northwest, and quietly and through the press, to urge the necesslty-Jot - an _wa would sbbn pnt an end to\ this straggle, and fhe-Horthweet, under the supposition that wo Bought to deprive them of their meet valued commercial rights, has continu'd ta fnrniEh the Federal Government with the braved! and beat troops lathe ranks of the Northern armies. Of late Shis subject has again attracted attention, and if wa ate not iU-ihfonhed, cnr Government has been induoad to give it seriona attention. We are not adviced that direct negotiations wi*tl Norlhwestern men have been opened, but -in the North and at the South the coceesity tor a segregation of State* from the old Federal Onion la already felt and acknow ledged. The South has only inaugurated a revolution which will not end until the whole great imperial valley ef the Mieeiesippi la forever freed from the social and po litical influence of New Fngland Puritanism.

The horse cost and the equip ments sooo more. On one of the pistol holsters is a silver plate bearing the inscription, “ To Major Gsneral 3. B. McPherson, from his many railroad friends."
