Orders have been issued from the War De
partment; directing that the entire force nowin
the u s camps in this state, shall at once be
prepsl4Procied on the march to the line
of •Vetataon in the south.
In drinpliance with this demand, Gov. aor
ta hat fiend the necessary orders to the va

now in progress for. the prompt, - puling for
ward of the troops. • •
The troops from 'the camps in the west, will
rendezvous in Camp Curtin, beyond the limits
of the city, whence.they will be transported over
the Northern Central Railroad direct to the
city of Washington, from , which point they are
to be distributed as will best contribute to the
mewl of the plans of the government.
The troops in camp in the eastern part of the
state, 4111'be sent to Philadelphia, and thence
conveyed over the Baltimore road to the federal
capital.
This ordei for the immediate mustering into
service of all the troops now in the various
camps in this State, will of course make it ne.,
cessary to abandon all such camps, and thus
relieve the State'and the authorities of a great
expente,atuka still greater responsibility.

We are desired to say by the State Treasurer
that the bonds for this loan have been delayed
in the hinds of the engravers much longer
than we had reason to suppose they would be,
and that he has not yet received them. They
will, hawevet; be received from the engravers
in a feW days, and as soon as they can be sign
ed by the stadous officers and registered as the
act directs, they will be ready for delivery to
the subiaffilaus as early in the coming month
of August as possible.

justly regards the course of the Tribune as inju

persisting in prying into and divulging the
plans of the -veteran Clim. Scott. The Tribune
with all its patronage and powerful ability, will
find that 'the patience of the people can be

A CHANGE OF TACTICS
Before the federal authorities had fairly gath
ered their strength to rebuke the rebels at the
south, and silence their sympathizers at the
north, the latter ridiculed the idea of a Lincoln
administration conquering the chivalry of the
south. The proposition was preposterous. It
was absurd and ridiculous, because one southern
gentleman was equal to ten northern mud-sills,
which would be proven when the armies of
Lincoln and the hosts of Davis met on the bat.
tle-field. Such was the strain in which the
southern organs of treason, assassination and
theft indulged, respecting the merits of the
parties engaged in the efforts on the one side to
destroy and on the other to preserve the "Union.
The same strain in more exaggerated sentiment
was echoed by the dough face Breckinridge
press in the north, until many a loyal man re
garded the conflict as doubtful, however wil
ling he might be to perillife, fortune and honor
in the defence of a common Country. Bat as
the contest has advanced, and as the loyal
troops and masses of men in the free states have
flocked in thousands to the standard raised by
the government, and as each encounter has al
ready exhibited the weakness and the cowardice
of the rebels, the cry has suddenly been changed
by the northern sympathizers for - treason, and
this struggle as suddenly became a barbarous
conflict between brgther and brother—a social
feud in which the safety of our nationality was
involved, a criminal warfare alike repugnant
to christianity, 'consanguinity and the holy
memories of a reciprocity that once made us
powerful as a prosperous and united people.
All this is but sympathy for treason in disguise.
The cry of peace is a dissembled appeal for time
and quarter for the traitors, in order to afford
them the opportunity of striking a blow in zr,
locality that is now unprotected, or seizing and
stealing some ungarded portion of the public
property. Had treason succeeded in Maryland,
in Western Virginia, in Missouri or in Tennes
see, these samedollowers 'of Breckinridge, the
very meanest of northern Democratic dough
faces, would have rej oided—would have pointed
to the facts as the verification of their predic
tions and the evidence of the superior skill,
prowess and valor of the rebels. Butes the re
sults have'proven that the mass of braggarts at
the south are cowards as well as traitors, the
war has suddenly become in their estimation,
a barbarous crusade on a people seeking their
own happiness under the great and. inalienable
right's and principles of self-government.
The danger to. the government at this hOur,
is not as much in the armed traitors who are in
the field for battle, as it is in the secret and un
armed sympathisers:o , lth treason, who live in
our own midst: During the progress of this
conflict, these secret, traitors have inflicted the
most serious wounds upon the government that
it has received since its organization, by com
proidsing its honor, misrepresenting its pur
poses, impugning its integrity, and denouncing
its patriotism and justice. The action and
achievements of the government are alike 'the
objects of the attack of these traitors; and it
has long been a matter of serious codsideration
among humane and patriotic men, whetherlit
would not be justified by every policy and•ohn
idderation of self-preservation to turn our bayo
aretionalkomo •
se zealo y boring for the overthrow of
Alle_government, that. they may appease. a po
litical disappointment and vent a partizan spite,
instead of maim:egg hence to crush traitors on
their own hearthstones, and-vanquish treason
and rebellion where they claim the right of
their exercise by the. posseasion of the soil. If
we pause long to consider what is due those
who axe daily engaged in covertly attacking
whit is sacred and dear to us as freemen, our
strength will fail us when the blow becomes
necessary for the safety of our lives. • There Is ,
no justifiable consideration to deter a freeman
from prompt action, when his country is in
danger. As the change from open encourage
ment of this rebellion to hypocritical sympathy
and cries of .humanity proves the desperation of
the foe and dough-face we have in our own
midst, it will be an insane neglect longer to
leave them unwatched and unrebuked, that the
most lenient observer of our acts can never ea
ruse. The law and authority of the federal.
government will never be re-established on a
basis of a compromise. There , is nothing in
humanity to settle this contest, unless it be the
humanity that may yet lurk in
,the hearts of
traitors to couquer their desperation. The
means which the government must apply are
those which punish as they capture traitors, and
hold to eternal account and retribution those
who have engaged in this unholy warfare against
the right and might of civil and religious lib
erty.
The Wnztanta brizmaoiscaa says that a let
ter received in that city from an officer in the
first Virginia regiment, states that the rebel
forces in Western Virginia were totally demora
lized. It is also, reported, with how much
truth the writer does not say, that previous to
the evacuation of Laurel Hill, &desperate fight
took place between the Georgians and Virgin
ians. The Georglani, it appears, made the
rural Virginians do all the rough work, while
they superintended it. Old Virginia couldn't
stand this, notwithstanding her zeal in the
cause of secesh, and the result was a
.fight.
Some fifty newly Made. graves were found on
the top of the'hill. Fdr some days previous to
the route there was no'friendly communication
between the Georgians and Virginiartsl''"

TBE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.
The question of amending or the entire re
peal of the fugitive slave law has, we believe,
already been broached•and voted down in Con
gress. The motive for thus voting down the
proposition, was to give no offence to the slave
states that yet remain loyal. These are not .
numerous, on the border, the reader will admit,
and comprise only Delaware and western Vir
gina, where slavery is fast disappearing before
the inexorable rules of progress and humanity
that will eventually abolish it from the face of
he globe. The other border states have all,
in some manner or the other, given aid and
comfort to the rebellion, either by absolutely;
refusing to assist the Federal government in
maintaining itself, or in reality arraying them
selves with the rebels in the effort to subdert
and destroy the federal authority. In this
view, the question arises, have these Stites tiny
right to the protection of a government which
they will not assist in maintaining? Have they
any right to the benefits of legislaticin,'. part of
which they have repudiated, part of which they
have pronounced illegal, and all of which, with
the exception of what refers only to their own,
peculiar estimation of slavery,. they have sworn
to evade whenever it may suit their purpose.
These are grave considerations, at this particular
time, Aich should not be carelessly puked.
They suggest retaliatory legislation that might
have a salutary effect, at least in bringing to
their senses a class of men who consider all
principle subservient to that which is - embraced
in their creed, and all interests inferior to sla
very when and where slavery seeks progress
and development.
It is high time, then, when the federal gov
ernment (now, virtually, the north,) is attack
ed and its authority and protection spit upon
when that northern sentiment which has ever
advocated the supremacy of the constitution
and laws as expounded by the courts, is met by
violence, contempt and treachery ;—when the
government had done no wrong, and when
Congress (with numerical power to the con
trary) followed judicial authority in organizing
Territories without the objectionable restriction;
in the face of these things,. it is high time, we
repeat, that the free states should inaugurate
self-respect—should unite, and, in a constitu
tional way, assert their power rights. Let the
law be so amended that no prinia facie citizen or
resident of lowa, or any other free state, can
be taken from its jurisdiction--be 'deprived of
his liberty except through Jury' trial, or' by
some other action, warrant or auftiority of the
state, so far as constitutional, in conjunction
with federal authority. 'Under the existing law
a stateis altogether powerlm (disqualified) to
protect its inhabitants, and mob violence has
grown out of that fact. More "contraband"
Would be returned under a law even•half-it
pectfuLto to the free states, than under the
present offensive and humiliating enactment;
which only returns evil (rebellion) to those who
have borne with it out of respect to Judicial
authority, as well as to evince their earneliedtiz
Aire to maintain the Union through every
constitutional _ guarantee and 'by ''peabeible
means.

WES2' POINT' ACADEMY.
The annual report of the Board of Visitors 'to
the Natiori's Military School at West TOO,
says the-New Firklibening Post, revels , ani:itiThr
abuse of" thoie who so: long misruled at
Washington, and' are now rebels and traitors:
The board report that disciplineat ihe Academy
is very bad ; and relate an instance whickwould
be incredible did it not appear in an official re
port. They say :
-"Even during. the examination exercises, and
in presence of the Board of Visitors, a number
of cadets, including several of the 'graduating,
class, when required -to perfoim an evolution
not perfectly agreeable to them ' fell outof -the
ranks and proceeded to their quarters."
For this act of insubordination the offenders
were of course placed under arrest, and we trust
they will be expelled in disgrace. But: the
question arises at once, how could such a thing
happen ? Discipline must be almost gone before,
such acts become possible.
From the report we learn the cause for such
a state of things. It seems that when -the au
thorities of the Academy prescribed a punish-,
meat, the authorities at Weihington 4 weie, for'
some years past, accustomed to remit such pun
ishment. And during the year 1860 sixteen.
students, who were dismissed either for inca-,
pacity or bad conduct were reinstated by the
Secretary of War, John B. Floyd, over the
heads of their teachers. One student hd, when
dismissed, two hundred and fifty-two demerit .
marks obtained in six months ; any excess over
one hundred would have exposed him to dis
missal by the rules ; yet this young man was
re-appointed last January. The report states
that "during the latter part of his career he
defied the authorities of the Academy alto
gether, and had to be kept in clew. eonfuie
ment." What effect but the most miscldeinhe
can the presence of such a pinion have in - a`
school? • „
"Several of the cadets who, have been reap
pointed were reported by the: Academic Board
to 'possess no capacity whatever for acquiring
the course under the most favorable circum
stances.'
"The endorsement of the Secretary of War
on, the report of cadets pronounced 'not 056-
- ciera,' in. January, 1861, exhibits the faetthat,
contrary to the recouunendationkof .the.board,
two, cadets werepermitted to.go on withtheir
respective classes: •
"The Superintendent of the lifilitary' Acad
emy was instructed to inform the discharged
cadets, eleven in number, that 'should their
respective members of Congress`think proper to
renominate them;
they would -be re-appointed
and permitted to return tp the Academy in
June next.' ,
"In other words, the reccommeridations of
the Academic Board werely not'only disregard
-ed.;• but the Superintendent was placed- in the
humiliating position of being himself required
to inforin the discharged cadets that if renoml;
nated they would be re-appointed." 4 -
When we read this we cease to wonder that
officers educated in insubordination, trained, to
despise those set over themin authority, be
came traitors to their flag at the finst.blipertuni;
ty, and displayed none of that high'principhi
or that honorable, attachmentAci.:the.lawful

FULL- .DETAILS OF THE FIGHT.
ct Orminvurn, Va., July 18.
The first engagement of any character in
eastern Virginia, during this campaign, took
place at Bull's Run four miles south of Centre
ville, this afternoon: Gen. Tyler's division en
camped last night a few miles east of Centre
,ville, and this morning proceeded towards that
point. Centreville was passed in safety, and
the troops turned from the Little river turn
pike road to the Manasses road.
On the road information was received that a
masked battery was on the left of the road
ahead, and Col. Richardson in command of the
fourth brigade, was ordered to reconnoiter,
while the remainder of the division remained in
the vicinity of Centreville. _Col. Richardson
proceeded with three companies, -the Massachu
setts pint, first being the Kelsey county' Fusi
leers And National Guards. They passed across
all open ravine and again entered • the road,
which was densely surrounded by woods, 'when
they were received by a . raking fire from the
left, killing a number of the advance.
They, gallantly sustained their position, and
covered-the retreat of a brain cannon of Sher
man'S battery, the horses having been com
pletely disable& by the
,fire, until relieved by
the Michigan Second and New York - Twelfth,
when. they fell back. The federal- forces then
took a position on the top of a hill. Two rifled
guns were planted in -front, Supported by Capt.
-Bracket's company B. second cavalry, with a
line- of infantry . composed of the Michigan
Second tEnd the New York Twelfth, some dis
tancein the rear. A steady fire was kept up
on. both sides in this position.
The rebels hag tivo batteries of eight pieces
in a position commanding the road. They used
their guns well, except that they fired sometimes
too high, but were gallaritlifisced by our troopi.
The3riiid not replyt i p our- regular fire for half
hour,ati , during whin time they were receiv
ing .Itutge` reinforVenlerits. 'ln' 'the meantime,
Richardson's brigthe reconnoitered the roads.
While we were again thus advancing we were
met with a - miring lire. Our guns were again
put in position, And poured-grape and carmister

I=l
J&FBSON CITY, July 18
The mail carrier brings news of a fight three
miles this side of Fulton, Calloway county, be
tween Col. with about 600 men, and
Gen. Harris, with a force estimated at about
1,000. Six of the federals and eighty rebels
were killed, and two hundred of the latter were
taken prisoners, and their forces completely
routed.
A later and more reliable account from Ful
ton states that twelve of M'Neirs forces were
v. ounded , including his colored body servant.
Mr. Nichols, of Fulton, is known to have been
killed on the part of the rebels. Only the ad
vance guard of the Federal forces were •in the
engagement, and were fired on from an ambush.
The rebels then fled, and some of them were
seen afterwards quietly at work in their fields,
as though nothing had happened.
General liarris was not in the fight, but was
looking on at a safe distance. A still later and
official dispatch from Col. McNeil states that he
had met Harris, and completely routed him.
Our loss, he says, is twelve wounded. Harris'
force is considerably diminished.
ST. Aireares, Mo., July 18.—The Rev. Mr.
Fisher, just arrived from Fulton, Calloway
county, reports a skirmish between Col. McNeil
and a party of State troops yesterday, in which
eleven of the Federal troops were wounded, two

The State troops Were dispersed. Col. McNeil
is in Fulton, awaiting reinforcements. Gen.
Harris was in Fulton yesterday, but not in the
fight. His men were' unmanageable, and left
Fulton by every road leading out of town.—
Only seventy of the State troops weremounted.
The camp at Wand Springs is supposed to be
broken up. -
Colonel McNiel's advanced guard was at first
attacked and fell back on the main bcdy, when
the State. troops soon retreated back to Fulton
in great disorder.
