ST. LOIIIIN Mo:, October 11, 1863.
Another week has passed, and the radical,' are
Waiting, not Jotelike patience, for the Prod.-
denees answer to their application for changes in this
'department. The telegraph informs us to-day that
Mr. Lincoln has written them a letter that will pro
bably be promulgated before this reaches you. The
general impression is that the present commander of
the department will not be removed, but will receive
new orders and inatructions, intended to remedy
some of the evils now complained of.
Kansas is looking to be made a separate depart
ment, but the friends of the measure are as yet
coMpletely in the dark as to the final result. The
otiservition of your correspondent inclines him to
the belief thee there is, no necessity of creating a
separate, department between the State of Missouri,
and General Carleton'', department of New Mexico.-
Reinsas and the Indian Territory are well enough
off is a district of this department, provided that
the district receives fair treatment. The military
' management must be somewhat changed from its
pie Sent course, before Kansas will be deprived of '
reasons for complaint.
We have had news from the southwestern part of
the .State. The telegraph has probably informed
Yen of the attack . upon Gen. Blunt while en route
front Fort Scott to Fort Smith. It seems thati
Quantrel, in his recent movement southward, did
.. •
entic.
neit go to Texas, as was ipated, but remained
in the southwestern counties of the State, in sup-- •
porting distance of other bands of guerillas. Gen.:
Blunt recently came to Fort Scott on his way to -
Leavenworth, but for some cause, concluded not to.
go to tie latter point Remaining a few days at Fort
Scott, he started on his return to Fort Smith, ac
companied by his state, band, and an escort of 100
men. ,Quantrel attacked him, and killed or cap:
tured the most of the staff and escort. The General
himself escaped. Nearly all the prisoners were shot
throngh the head after they had surrendered to the
guerillee. Among the killed was Maj. H. Zie Cur:
tie, son of Gen. Curtis. His body was found the:
following day, and is reported on its waYto Leaven
worth. Gen. Blunt returned in person to; Fort .
Scott and started with reinforcements in pursuit of
Quantrel. . .
The war on the Western border is one to the
death. For many months General Blunt has
shown no favor to guerillas, and he has expected
none from them. Whenever a guerilla has fallen
, into our hands in the District of the Border he. has
had small hopes of escaping with his life. The
guerillas swore - vengeance upon General Blunt .
whenever they should get him in their power, -and •
aloe upon the members of his . staff. The massacre
of the - past week can hardly surprise those who
know the nature of the warfare on the frontier. It
is to be hoped that the particulars, when we hear
them; will reduce the affair to milder proportions.
It is not known whether the majority of General'
Blunt's staff were with him or not ; some of the
members were in Leavenworth, and one, at - least,
is in this city.
A force of guerillas has been moving up into the
central portion of the State during the past week.
Their strength is variously estimated from five to
fifteen hundred men, probably nearer the former
than the latter figure. They are the combined force
of several guerilla bands, and the chief among them
is one So Shelby, a notorious outlaw, and somewhat
celebrated for his boldness and the rapidity of his
movements. The most astounding stories were
brought here of the operations of these guerillas at
Warsaw, in Benton county. Theeirst report stated
that the town had been burned and half the citizens
murdered. As Warsaw is the most intensely dis
loyal town in Missouri, it was difficult to believe
that the guerilla's had thus fallen upon their friends.
Yesterday morning it was stated that not more than
six or eight persona were killed, and two or three
houses destroyed. A few stores were robbed of their
contents to supply the dilapidated wardrobes of the
guerillas.
From Waisaw the morning moved in the direc
tion of Syracuse, intending to fall upon the Pacific
Railroad, and dieable it as much as possible. They
'Article the line at several points, destroying a large
bridge near Oiterville, and burning the depets and
water-tanks at Otterville, Syracuse, and Tipton. It
is reported from Jefferson City that they burned the
towns of Cole bamp, in Denton - county, and Flo
rence, in Morgan county, on their way from Warsaw
to Syracuse. It is 'pretty certain that the former
lslace was destroyed, as it was occupied almost en
tirely by Germans. Both Cole Camp and Florence
were small towns, of some twenty or thirty houses
each... The occupants of 'Florence have the repu
tation ~of being loyal, but they were not of Gera
man extraction, like the people at bole Camp. A
small party of the rebels were yesterday within
twenty-five miles o€. Jefferson City, but it was not
thought they would come much nearer. General
Brown, in command of the central district, moved
out from Jefferson City, and has managed to get in
the rear of the rebels. Forces are also moving up
from Lebanon and Springfield, but it is not likely
that they,will succeed in -, bagging " the guerilles.
The latter are too well acquainted with the roads to
be easily caught.
Gen. Schofield has issued an order relative to the'
prevention 'of the destruction of steamboats. It
provides for an-increased number of watchmen oa
all boats, and an extension of their vigilance. The
hold of every steamer is required to be closed and
:locked at all times when not actually receiving or
discharging freight, and the key to be confided only
to the custody of the first or second mate. Every
possible precaution is to be taken. To insure atten
tion to the order a secret police has been ordered to
, watch the boats, and see that there is no evasion.
Heavy penalties are attached to a failure to, com
ply with it in letter and spirit. The steamboatmen
are themselves interested in the matter, and one
would suppose that they would give their hearty co
operation. Strange to say, I heard yesterday a
traitor-howl--from several disloyal nterenboatmen.
They characterized the order as another instance of
.
arbitrary military power, and were emphatically of
opinion that they could take care of their boats
themselves. Some of these men are supposed to
know more about the recent conflagrations than
they would wish to tell. "
It now appears evident that the plan for do
[ stroying the steamers is most deeply laid. The in
cendiaries ship on board as deck hands, and then
watch their chances to kindle a fire. Once fairly
under way, it is impossible to stop a conflagration
on a Western steamboat. Several suspicious
I. characters have recently offered themselves es deck
hands on various boats, but the undue watchfulness
of the officers caused these men to be refused. It is
proposed to' get up an arrangement whereby each
man offering himself as a deck hand shall be obliged
to present a certificate setting forth his reliability.
An office will probably be opened at, the expense of
steamboat owners for inquiring into the ante
cedents of every "levee rat." It will be a delight
ful task for the, persons who have it in charge. The
giving of " characters" to the thousands of Irish
men and others who follow the river will be a most
perplexing matter.
The low stage of the rivers has raised the price of
coal in some of the Western cities to a moat exor
bitant figure. St.. Louis has not been so mush af
fected as Cincinnati from the fact that most of the
coal for this place comes from the Illinois mines,
only a few miles distant, on the line of the Ohio and
Mississippi Railway. Th Cincinnati the Ohio is so
low that no coal barges can come down from Pitts
;-burg,, and - there is ,'a most alarming scarcity. The
article is retailing there for fifty cents a bushel, and
is difficult to procure at that figure. :Various asso
ciations have been formed for procuring coal at a
cheaper rate, but their benefits only extend to a few.
High water will remedy the evil. I learn from
Vicksburg that the same scarcity of fuel exists
there, and the boats find it difficult to move. Green
wood is being burned instead of coal wherever the,
furnaces are adapted to it.

election. The President promises that the polls
shall be peotected as they were in Kentucky, and
that no dieloyalist shall be. allowed to vote. This
will make the preponderance largely in favor of the
radicals. The electilin takes place early in Decem
ber, and will be fought with considerable energy.
The vote will be' a test as to the comparative
strength
.of, the two parties, and, in this way, will
excite much interest.

Mac:mins, TENN., October 7, MCI
The seat of military activity on the Mississippi
has again been transferred to Memphis. The land-
bug, the bluff, the streets, 'and the commons, are
again crowded with men and materials of war.
Steamboats arriving from both South and North
crowd along the levee, gunboats arrive and depart,
but the officials observe a perfect silence as to the
intentions or destination of the army.
- General Blair arrived from St. Louis and hurried
on to Corinth. Shewin,. Logan, and a host of
lesser general officert,.come and go like business

Yesterday- a regiment of colored troops marched
through the dream, the observed of The
colored population of Memphis seem especially
astonished at the fine appearance of their brethren.
A few days ago the rebels of Memphis were
greatly elated with the reported destruction of
Rosecrans' army. Their jubilations were so
marked as to elicit remark from the loyal press ;
but the "good news" lacking confirmation; the
oath-taking rebels are falling back into desponding.
These rebels might swear oaths ten deep, and yet
would not their treason depart from them. At
every opportunity for traitors to rejoice, there are
hundreds of men, who have sworn allegiance to the
United States Government who then lay off long
faces and grow merry in proportion to the reported
success of rebel arms, These holy men, who for
yeara have railed and bawled against a "Mercenary
North," now think it a small matter to perjure
themselves to "save their property." If men are
sent to hell for taking false oaths, the devil must,
ere this, have petitioned for an enlargement of his
dominions, in view of the large expectancy from
the " Southern Confederacy." Indeed, it has long
been a matter 'of conjecture whether Jeff and the
devil were not in partnership, the latter having.
seceded from heaven and the former from the next
beat place. An alliance would be,-both natural and
proper.
The Rev. Dr. White, pastor of Calvary (Episcopal)
Church, of whom your correspondent made report a
year ago, still refuses to use the prayer for "The
President of the 'United states; and all others in
authority." The omission is, regarded as a marked
insult to the Government, and to the loyal people
attending the church. His congregation is the most
aristocratic and the wealthiest in the city. It was
violently rebellious, and the course of Dr. White is
calculated to nurse and keep alive the illy-cancealed
treason of portions of his congregation.. The mili
tary authorities, believing it a subject for ecclesias
tic treatment by the Episcopal Church general, tole
rate. the insult.
The band attached to the Thirteenth U. S. in
fantry, on their arrival from below, gave a grand
serenade to your fellow-citizen, Major Norris. The
regulars play full as well as they fight. -
-. Gen. Grant's late order , regulating the sale of cot
ton"will bring out large quantities of the staple. It
is asserted by old cotton merchants, who have been
in the rebel lines, that fully 100,000 bales of cotton
Will come to the Memphis market, if transportation
is afforded on the Mississippi river.
A large number of one-story. brick buildings are
being erected in the business portion of the city, and
are leased for stores and saloons before the founda.
tion is laid. Every room and corner not occupied
by the Government officers is seized on, and con
verted into a place of business.
In spite of the restriction laid on commerce by the
Treasury Department, millions worth of property
are shipped here and sold. Indeed, the quantity
Clause in the "regulations" is totally unheeded,
with the exception that the five per cent. is not paid
on the excess amounts. If the Department would
remove the restriction as to quantity, the revenue
would increase fourfold, and yet no more merchan
dise would come to Memphis than is received here
now.
Other premiums for fraud might be pointed out,
but it is a thankless labor. It is unnecessary, per
haps, to inform the reader that all the premiums ate
promptly taken, and every opportunity improved.

The Attempt to Destroy the New Ironsides
FORTRESS MONROE, Oct.l4.—The United States
transport Faulkner, from the Charleston fleet on the
10th inst., arrived this morning.
She had in tow the gunboat kladgie, for repairs,
which sunk off Frying Pan Shoals on Sunday last.
All on board were saved..
They report that the rebels attempted to destroy
the Tronsides on the night of the 6th instant, by ap-•
proaching her in a small steamer, and exploding a
torpedo amidships.
,The. concussion was tremendous, knocking down
the bulkhead of the Ironsidee, and injuring one, man.
Her hulk was also injured. The Ironsides, how
.
ever, is considered torpedo-proof.
The rebel steamer was badly damaged, and several
of her men were knocked overboard and drowned.
On the night of the 6th inst. another attempt was
made to destroy the Ironsides, but the rebels were
discovered and driven off.
A heavy reward is said to be offered by the citi
zens:of Char3eston for the destruction or cspture of
the Ironsides, and active operations for that purpose
are daily expected.
THE NEW IRONSIDES.
[Special Correqxmdenee of the New York Timea.
MORRIS ISLAND, S. C., Wednesday, Oct. 7.
On Monday night the camps on Morris and Folly
Islands were aroused by the sound of picket firing
proceeding from off Cummings' Point. The troops
were ordered under arms, and every precaution
taken to resist a supposed attack of the enemy. It
appears the affair was something more serious than
an alarm. At 9 P. M. a torpedo was discovered
by the naval picket boats stationed off Sullivan's
Island floating down the tide toward the
fleet, and before it could be checked, came
in contact with the frigate Ironsides, explo
ding under her bow, and causing serious
damage to the vessel, so much so that it is under
consideration of Admiral Dahlgren to send her
North for repairs. At the time the affair took place
little could be ascertained of what had transpired
by parties on shore, and it was only by the report
of the musketry off Cummings' Point that even an
inkling of a picket skirmish was arrived at. As far
as can be learned no lives were lost on either side.
The naval picket boats were attacked by the rebels
also in boats at about the same time the torpedo
was discovered. - The Ironzides was lying 1,000
yards from Sullivan's Island and pretty well in to
ward Sumpter.
General Gilmore took a trip to Hilton Head yes
terday. He returns to Folly Island to•day.
It is thought the, rebels may possibly make a de
monstration on the fleet with their rams within a
short time. This will doubtless be the case if the
Ironsides is drawn oft' for repairs. Three monitors
are away from the fleet—for what purpose it does
not seem clear—and unless. the Admiral keeps a
sharp lookout the rebels will gain entire possession
of the harbor.
Two " devils," recently towed from the North,
are lying off Morris Island. They are intended to
be used against the obstructions in the channel.
TRH INJURY TO THE 3roxirrons
A correspondent who has recently visited the
monitors under repair at Station Creek, South
Carolina. says:
".We first went on board the monitor Patapsco.
Per turret is indented all round by the heavy pro•
jectiles from the rebel forte ; but not a single shot
penetrated even a single plate of which the turret
consists, The smokeetack, however, is completely
shattered. Balls that paased through have, cora
l—. weehaw
en , which vessel was being improved by the addi
tion at the bottom of the turret of an iron rim, five
inches in thickness, and about fifteen inches deep.
This improvement is being made in consequence of
apiece of shel hav been amd between the
bottom of the l turret in and the j deck, prey preventing the
latter from revolving, when the Weehawken was
aground, at the time of the bombardment of Fort
Moultrie. All the other vessels of the same class
me tobe furnished with a similar rim. These rims
were brought in sections by the Union. The Wee.
hswken was not hit so ;away times as the Patapsco,
but we were shown a wound on her starboard side,
caused by a shot from Moultrie, through which the
water is still Slowly tickling, rendering a frequent
recourse to the pump necessary."
HONORABLE DEALING OF A TENNESSEE MEE.
CHAI'IT.-A gentleman named N. S. Bunce, connect..
ed with a firm doing business at Memphis, Tennes
see, had had considerable dealing with one of our
well.known State-street merchants previous to the
war, and upon the breaking out of the rebellion had
in his warehouse a considerable stock of goods
which he wan to Bell upon commission. When com
munication ceased with Memphis the New Haven
him lost all trace of the merchant and their goods,
and considered it an unprofitable trade. Recently,
however, they received a letter from him, enclosing
a bill bf account, and stating that he would arrive
soon and settle. Agreeably to his promise he ar
rived last week, and scored up his bill with them, as
also with others of our business men with whom he
had dealings. His conduct was certainly very
honorable, as he says that upon the taking posses
sion of the city by the rebels, to avoid the confisca
tion of tho goods, he took them upon his own re
sponsibility, and sold.them for. Confederate notes,
which had been a losing busihess to him. This is
an instance of fair dealing which we are happy to
record, especially as it contrasts so favorably with
the large majority of business transactions under
similar circumstences.—New Haven Palladium.
FASHIONS.—A foreign magazine of fashions says
two things strike one as particularly novel in ladies ,
costumes; first, the very pretty chamois-colored
leather boots, coming half way up the leg, and either
buttoned or laced at the side, the tops being orna
mented with a silk cord and two small tassels ; and,
secondly, the cannes, or, in plain English, walking
sticks, sported by.the most elegant among the vota
ries of fashion. These canes are simply wooden
strike, more or leas carved and ornamented, with flat
gilt tops, and finished oft; like the hoots; with a cord
and tassel,

ARMY OF THE POTOMIC.
The Recent Cavalry Fight—The New Urn..
tegic lilovemeat
Iz THR Primo, Oct. I2.—The Army of the Po
tent/to is again across the Rappahannock, and en
camped to-night in this vicinity.
onlatuar. nopoin
received orders to advance at about noon to-day, and
at two o'clock his division of cavalry was marching,
for the tenth or twelfth time, over the old ground.
In half an hour after he crossed the river his guns
were burily engaged in shelling the enemy's cavalry
out of the woods. They were in small force, and
fell back rapidly as our men pressed them. Before
sunset Buford had driven them eight miles toward
Culpeper, being past the residence of John Minor
Botts.
TIER INFANTRY
The command of Major General Sedgwick followed
closely upon the heels of Buford, and occupied
Brandy Station. That of Major General Warren
followed next, and Gen. Sickles , corps, under com
mand of Gen. French, succeeded 'Warren. Thin ini
menee body of troops crossed the Rappahannock in
leas than two hours. The " boys " are in the beat
of spirits, and march with the greatest oelerity—say
ni
four ilea an hour, carrying their equipmenta and
eight days , rations.
TUE RES ITLT
What these marches and countermarches effected
with such wondrous rapidity, must be left for the
preoent to conjecture. The easiest way to solve the
problem is, perhaps, to name them strategy. The
enemy certainly must be puzzled, if not outgeneraled.
It doubtful if his infantry`force has yet crossed
the Rapidan. Our infantry has not been engaged at
all within the past few days except in skirmishes
along the_picket lines.
OUR OAVALUT
has done splendid Rghting. Their service and that
of the horse batteries attached to their commands
are of the most arduous character. They picket our
outposts, scout the whole country for Information,
open our fights, cover our retreats, or clear up and
finish our victories, as the case may be. In short,
they are never idle, and rarely , find rest either for
men or horses. If all the cavalry regiments in this
fumy were now filled up to their maximum numbers,
that arm of our forces would be strong enough to
capture the whole Southern country in detail, and
We should simply require infantry to hold on to it.
OUR LOSSES,
during the last three days, have been quite severe,
especially in officers. Major General Pleasontou
was on the fleld in person, with Bilpatrick'S di
vision, accompanied by the 6th regulars, com
manded by Major R. M. Morris as an escort. The
latter were acting as skirmishers away to the Year,
and one battalion'came near being captured—that
is, if such men can be captured. They cut their way
through, however, and rejoined fiilpatrick•'s com
mand.
GALLANTRY OP GENERAL PLEASONTOW.
It has already been mentioned that Kilpatrick
found himself surrounded at `Brandy. Station on
Sunday ; but it was not stated that General
Pleasonton was with him, surrounded by his staff,
but separated from his escort. The whole command
was formed in six columns of squadrons, one of the
central ones being led by General Pleasonton in
person. When these columns began to move upon
the enemy the latter at once showed signs of weak
nese, and when General Pleasonton seized his corps
flag and waved it as a signal for the charge, the
"boys" responded with loud and terrific cheers,
and Stuart's men opened to the right and left, and
fled towards the woods, pursued by our enthusiastic
columns. •
GENERAL GALLANTRY
Among the many feats of prowess and gallantry
that occurred on Sunday, it is difficult to particular
12e. Suffice it to say that t. ere '.vas not a single
general officer or •brigade commander on the field
who did not lead several charges in person, while
the officers and men all, without exception, exhibit
ed the utmost gallantry, and straggling was nowhere
to be seen.
THE CAUSE Or THE REBEL. MOVEMENT
Buford having arrived at Brandy Station from
Stevensburg on Sunday, previous to Kilpatrick
coming in from Culpeper, accounts for the presence
of the flanking force on Kilpattick's right, it being
the same that had been fighting and pursuing Bu
ford all day from Morton's Ford. One of Buford's
brigades charged upon this force simultaneously
with Pleasonton, and with the happiest effect. The
presence of the rebels onKilpatrick's left front was
first discovered by a lad of thirteen years, named
Willie Kilpatrick. a nephew and sort of volunteer
aid to the General. Be is a brave little fellow, rides
splendidly, and says he is sadly in want of a re
volver. Re was greatly angered by the "Johnny
Reba" calling upon him to surrender when- he ar
rived in such close proximity to them, and dashed
back to an officer of the staff to borrow a pistol and
show fight
OUR CAVALRY NOT DRIVEN BAUR
The public should not get the idea that our forces
were driven back on Sunday. They, were simply
obeying an order to " fall back" for some wise pur
pose, and no portion of our infantry was engaged.
RILLED Alf D WOUNDED
The following Pennsylvanians are among the

Inniare SCOUTS.—The city was pretty nearly filled
with Indians and half breeds yesterday, and Third
snd Jackson streets presented an appearance not
unlike that of former days when the " noble Indian"
stalked forth wherever his inclination dictated.
Only the " noble Indian" has now adopted civilized
clothing, and is more generally known as "good In
dian." Our Indian .visitors of the past few dims
were employed duringthe summer by General Sibley
as scouts for the expedition, and most praiseworttuly
did they perform their duty. Their object in town
was to be paid, and we noticed dfter they had re
ceived their, greenbacks our shopkeepers were no
thing loth to enter into conversation with them.
Many of them were accompanied by their wives,
and they traded out a great portion of their money
before leaving town.
What is to become of these peoplel is a question
we have heard frequently asked and never satisfac
torily answered. They are harmless and inoffensive,
and, through the troublous times of the Sioux env
tions, have been the firm frienda of the whites.
They do not, as we c understand, wish to go-to the
Missouri, where the rest of their Illeervakanton
brethren are, but. to settle down quietly in a com
munity by themselves, cultivate the aoil, and adopt
the habits of civilization, and in time to become citi
zens of the State. Whether'our people would ever
allow this to be done is a question which we will
not now Undertake to decide.—St. Paul Times,
TEE NEW CLITh AT WASTUINGTOST.—This new
literary and social club has organized under the
name of " the Metropolitan." It is intended that
every department at Washington shall be repre
sented in it, as well soothe army and navy and the
citizents. Among the names may, be found four
Auditors of the Treasury (oat of live); the Comp.
troller of the Currency; the deputy Register and
the Solicitor of the Treasury.,The latter Nentleman
is the president. Such an associationis eminently
demanded at Washington,;in view of the large num.
ber of well-educated and enlightened gentlemen now
in the public service.
-
"The Metropolitan" will occupy one of the most ;
spacious dwelling-houses of the city, and will be
furnished with foreign and domestic journals, inclu
ding German and French—a billiard room, chess
room. and several card rooms. A restaurant will be
speedily added for the benefit of those members who
are now houseless and homeless, and must remain
so while living is so expensive at Washington.
In view of the state of public affairs abroad and at
home it is deemed important that Washington be

This action o , e Virginia House ofiDelegates on
the proposition to go peace-hunting at the North,
adds a fresh lustre toher already brilliant fame. It
shows how a people feel who have suffered most in
this war, and that Virginia, at least, will never sub
mit to dishonor. She lies prostrate and bleeding at
every pore, but her nerve is unsubdued, and the fire
of her patriotism undimmed. She knows something
of the deep infamy and degradation of Yankee do.
minion and is resolved to perishutterly, rather than
'submit to it In peace- "What a terrible rebuke,"
says the Savannah Republican, "we have here for
that cowardly class who, though they were never
within a hundred - miles of the enemy, would dish°.
nor their country and themselves by begging peace
of the cut-throat invaders of our soil."
A Gramme BATTLE.—From a private letter of a
soldier on the Rapidan, we get an account of a fight
which may not figure in history among the battles
of this war : Just across the river, Jin full view of
our pickets, but at that time within the. Yankee
lines, is a corn field which earlier in the season
abounded in choice roasting ears. From this field
the men of both armies in the vicinity were wont
to fill their camp-kettles by stealth ; for it was a
dangerous business—the Held being exposed to the
fire of the pickets onboth sides of the field, the dan
ger of unpleasant collisions and interruptions was
much lees ; but gradually frora day to day the hos
tile gleaners approached each other, until only a
few rows in the centre of the field were left un
gathered. But still our boys wanted the corn, and
would encounter the r risk. One morning two of
them had crossed the river, and were cautiously
foraging among these ungathered rows, when their
eyes lighted upon two stalwart Hessians engaged in
the same business. All were unarmed, but in an
instant all straightened themselves into fighting at
titude and demanded a surrender. Both squads re
turned a defiant answes,,and-kftWOliiting fell,
-ali.ut/nAlurfatight;' ,- iiiid when they fell they kicked
about. They turned and twisted, and pummelled
and thrashed away among the corn, till our boys
began to doubt whether they had net caught Tar
tars. But, luckily for them, just as their wind was
beginning to fail, a reinforcement came up, in the
shape of another Corn-federate gatherer, and the
Yanks were captured and carried in triumph over
the river, prisoners of war.—Macon Telegraph.
THE SECRETARY OF. THE TREABURY.—Men, in
- the excitement of the, moment, sOtnetimea make
mistakes ; and this was the case with Mr. F. P.
Blair, Jr., in St. Louis, a few evenings since, when
he made a coarse and vulgar assault upon Secretary
Chase. If there is a man in public or private life,
in 'all this land, to whom the term °'rowdy and
blackguard" will not - ap,ply, that man is Mr. Sal
mon P. Chase. And ther e is no man who has, at
any period, in any nation, ever been more successful
in the department of the Government under his
special control than Mr. Chase has been, in the very
able manner in which he has managed the finances
of our country in this most important and trying
era of our nation's life. The country owes him a
debt of gratitude, which no place however exalted—
no honors, however great, which the people can
give him can ever repay.—iv. Y. Evening Post.
A Snearrian INCIDENT.—A. somewhat interest
ing discovery, says the Stirling Observer, was made
by a young man and woman in the late excursion of
the Carron work.people to Pitlochrie. On leaving
the village they asked an elderly woman whom they
met on the road what direction they should take for
the Pass of Killiecrankie. The good lady very
courteously explained the route, but still more
kindly observed that, as the distance was rather far,
they might step along to her house and get at least
the refreshment of a drink of milk. After falling on
the crack, however, the Young woman was per
suaded to , stay behind, and allow her brother to
take the journey himself, as the roads were rough.
In the interval of his absence, the old lady very
naturally asked of the girl where she came from,
and on being told Carron, exclainied : "Ay ! dae ye,
though? Wed, I yince had a sister married there,
but Pm thinking the hale family, after a bit, went
ad' to America. May be yell hae heard o' the folks.
They ca'd the man she got, Connie." "And'what
was your sister's` ain name?" Biked the girl. The
answer was given. "Ah ! weel," said the young
woman, "my blither an' me are jilt the son an'
dochter per sister, an' ye'lljiist be oor antie." The
scene which ensued mustjbe left to the reader's ima
gination, as also the ftelings of the brother and
nephew, when the singular discovery was revealed
to him on tdo return,

GETTYSBURG, Oct..e, 18112. .
To His Excellency A. G. Curtin, Gov. of Penusyko'nfe
Sin: I have been in communication.with the Go.
vernors of the States interested in the soldiers' bu
rial ground at this place, about the arrangementrfoo
the consecration of these grounds.` --:
They have all most cordially united in than.
leetion of lion. Edward Everett to deliver the ora
tion on that solemn and important 00011111011; andi
in accordance with the unanimous wishes of the'
Chief Executives of the several States, I addreseet
a letter of invitation to Mr. Everett,,to deliver the
address at the consecration of these grounds on the
22d of this month. He replied that his engagements'
were such, that he could not possibly make Bush
preparation az would enable him to do justice to the
interesting , and
,imPortant occasion, and ; meet the
expectations of the multitude that will be so
sembled. But if the driy could be postponed tilt
Thursday, the 19th of November, he would sheeo
fully undertake the honorable duty. The proposi.
tion to postpone the time has been seceded to, and
therefore this burial ground will be consecrated, and.
set apart to its sacred and holy purposes, with ap
propriate ceremonies, on Thursday, the 1914 day of
November next.
Mr. Everett suggests that 4, the ceremonies would
be rendered more interesting, if deferred till after
the removal of the soldiers. All references to their
Belt:sacrificing bravery in the cause of their coun
try would be far more effective, uttered over their
remains, than if only pronounced on a spot to whists
they are hereafter to be removed."
The removal of the dead will be commenced about
the 26th of this month, and a large portion Of the
bodies will be interred in the cemetery before the
19th of November.
. Mr. Wm. Saunders, the rural architect in the em
ploy of> the Agricultural Department at-Washing

An English Account of the - Battle of Get-.
tyaburg.
An artiele appears in the September number of
Blackwood , * Magazine, which is in many respects in
teresting to the American reader. The. British offi
cer says the Confederate troops were not very good
marchers, but moved without straggling ; and were
under strict discipline. The brigades, he states,
•were about 2, 800 strong. There were four brigades
to a division, three divisions to a corps, and three
corps in the army. This would make the infantry
strength of Lee's army about one hundred thousand
men. - -The brigades he mentions were: those of
DlCLaws , division. of Longstreet's corps. But as
we know . that this corps was the strongest in
the army, we may , conclude that DicLaws , brigades
were. Above the average. It would be difficult
to make a calculation, based upon the figures
given by the British officer, giving ; Lee less than
90,000 infantry. The rebel cavalry is not spoken of
in high' terms. It was good for scouting,,but worth
little in a fight. The artillery was very iniscellane-
OUS. The - army was weak in homes, which were
- poor and ill.fed. The officer gives a pitiable account
of hie sore-backed and brokemdown nag, and tells of
the necessity he was under of turnings him over to
Gen. Lee's staff, whose horses were used up. He
gives some accountof General Longstreet and his
%corps, who are. just now particularly interesting to
us, having been transferred to the-West and fling
into battle at Chickamauga against Rosecrans. We
quote from the narrative in Blackwood:
"Gen. Longstreet is an Alabamian, a thick-set
man, forty-three years of age. * 44 * He is never
very far from Gen. Lee, who relies very much upon
Ms judgment. By the soldiers he is invariably spo
ken of as 4 the best fighter in the whole army. ,
"General Lee," the British officer says, " is al
most, With Out exception, the handsomest man of
his age I ever saw." Lee is further described as
never carrying arms, and as always looking smart
and clean, even "during the threodsys fighting at
Gettysburg, and in the retreat afterwards, when
every one else looked, or was, extremely dirty.
"The relations between him and Longetreet are
quite touching; they are almost always together.
Longstreet 4 s corps complains of this sometimes, as
they eay that they seldom get, a chance of detashal
service, which falls to the lot of Ewell."
General Hill told the writer that, in the first bat
tle near Gettysburg :
" The Yankees had fought with a determination.
unusual to them. He pointed out a railway cutting,
in which they had made a good. stand ; also, a field.
in the centre of which he had seen a man plant the
regimental colors, round which the regiment had
fought for some time, with much obstinacy; and
when, at last, it was obliged to retreat, the color
bearer retreated last of all, turning around ev e ry
now and then to shake his flat at the advancing
rebels. Gen. Hill said he felt quite sorry when be
saw this gallant Yankee meet his doom." .
The first day's contest the rebels had about 20,000
men in the. field: In the second day's light (2d July;
Gen. Lee is described as sitting most of the time
"quite'alone on the stump of a tree. What I es
pecially remarked was that, during the whole time
the tiring continued, be only sent one message aad
only received one report." .
Of the preparations made for the third and de.
cisive day's contest, the writer says:
" Pickett's division, which had just come up, was
to bear the brunt in Longatreet's attack, together
with Hill's and Pettigrew's in Hill's corps. Pick
ett's division was a weak one (under 5,000) owing
to the absence of two brigades."
After the battle had opened, the writer -proceeded
to join Longstreet :
" And !although astonished to meet such vast
numbers of wounded, I had not seen enough to give
me any real idea of the extent of, the mischief.
When I got close up to. General Longstreet, I saw
one of his regiments advancing through the woods
ingood order;
so, thinking I was just in time to
see the attack, I remarked to the General that
wouldn't have missed this for anything.' Long- -
street was seated at the top of a snake fence, and
looking perfectly calm and unperturbed. He re
plied, laughingly : The devil you wouldn't t I
would like to have missed it very much. We've
attacked and been repulsed.'
"Look there!' Tor the first time I then had a view
of the open' space between the two positions and saw
it covered with Confederates, slowlYand sulkily re
turning toward us, under a heavy fire of , artillery.
But the fire where we were was not so bad as further_
to the rear ; for, although the air seemed alive with
shell, yet the greater number burst behind us.
"The General was making the best arrangements
in Lis power to resist the threatened advance, by
advancing some artillery, rallying the straggler%
&c. I remember seeing a general (Pettigrew, I
think it was,) come, up to him and report that 'he
was unable to 'bring his men up again.' ..Longstreet
turned upon him and replied, with some sarcasm.
Vent well ; never mind, then, General; just let them, re
main where they are; the enemy's going to advance mg
win spare you the b ouble. ,
"He asked for something to drink ; I gave hint
some rum out of my silver 119.5 k. which 'I begged he
would keen in remembrance of the occasion ; he
smiled, ani., to my great satisfaction, .accepted the
memorial. He then went oft' to give some orders to
McLaws' division.
. .
"Soon afterward I joined General Lee, who had,
in the meantime, come to the front, on becoming
aware of the disaster. It Longstreet's conduct was
admirable, that of General Lee was perfectly sub
lime. He was engaged in rallying and in encou
raging the brollea troops, and was riding about a
little in front of the wood, quite alone—the whole
of his staff being engaged in a similar manner fur
ther to the rear. His face, which is always placid
and cheerful, did not show signs of the slightest dis
appointment or annoyance ; and he was addressing
to every soldier he met a few words of encourage..
ment, such as, 'All this will come right in the end;
we'll talk it over afterward,`but, in the meantime,
all good men must rally. We want, all good and
true men just now, ke,' He spoke to ell the wounded
men that passed him, and the slightly wounded he
exhorted 'to bind up their hurts, and take up a mus
ket in thia emergency.' Very few failed to answer
his appeal, and 1 saw many badly wounded men
take off their hats and cheer him.
cr,He said tome,.'This has been a sad day for mr,
Colonel—a sad day ; but we can't expect always to
gain victories.' He was also kind enough to ad
vise me to get into some more sheltered position.
"[Notwithstanding the misfortune which had so
suddenly befallen him, Gen. Lee seemed to observe
everything, however trivial. When a mounted offi
cer began whipping his horse for shying at the burst
ing of a shell, he called out, 'Don't whip him, Cap
tain, don't whip him ; I've got just such another
foolish horse myself, and whipping doeeno good.'
"I happened to sees man lying flat on his face, in
a small ditch,,and I remarked that I didn't think he
seemed dead. This drew Gen. Lee's attention to
the man, who commenced groaning dismally. Find
ing, appeals. to his patriotism of no avail, General
Lee had him ignominiously set on his legs by some
neighboring gunners.
"I saw. General Wilcox (an officer who wears s.
short round jacket and a battered straw hat) come
up to him and explain, almost crying, the state of
his brigade. General Lee immediately shook hands
with him and said, cheerfully : Never mind,
General; all this has been my fault; it is I that have
lost this fight, and you must help me out of it in the
best way you can.'
It is difficult to exaggerate the critical state or
affairs as they appeared about this time. If the
enemy or their general had shown any enterprise,
there is no saying what might have happened.
General Lee and his officers were evidently fully
Dimmed with a sense of the situation.; yet there
was Hindi less noise, fuss, or confusion of orders
than at any ordinary Seld.day ; the men, as they
were rallied in the wood, were brought up in de
tachments and lay down quietly in the positions
assigned them."
At 10 o'clock A. M., July 9th, the deCision to com
mence a retreat that evening was made known to
the higher officers. The writer says this step was
made imperative by the want of ammunition. In
another place he says there was enough left for one
day's fighting. - -
" General Longatreet talked to me for a long time
about the battle. He said the mistake they had
made was in not concentrating the army moe. and
making the attitair men, instead of
e ad been in three lines, and
the troops of Hill's corps who gave way were youtig
soldiers who had never been under fire before."
