Things are brighter in Missouri. Gen. Price,
with seventeen thousand Secessionists, was

forces. All of. Missouri. North of the river will

A Patriotic 'Decision
Some demagogues, wishing to bleak up our
three years' regiments, applied to Judge Wayne,
of Georgia, one of the members of the EL S. Su
.
preme Court, in Washington, for a writ, of
habeaa corpus, for the purpose of testing' the le
gality of those long enlistments. The writ was
issued, and on the hearing they contended that
as the President called for volunteers for, three
years without any legal authority, the law of
Congress authorizing the militia to be called out
only for three months, the three years' enlistments
were illegal, and that illegality could not be
curedby"the subsequent legislation of Congress.
Judge Wayne took a different view of the case.
The material part of his decision ii - as follows:
""it' is my opinion that Congress has"constitu
tional power to, legalize and confirm Executive
acts, proclamations, and'orders done for the pub
lic good, although they, were not, when done,
autheilked by any existing • laws. That such
legislation by Congress may be made to act retro
actively to confirm what may have been done
under such proclamations and orders, so as to be
binding upon the Government in regard to con
tracts; made, and the persons with whom they
were made. And that the third section of an act
of Congress of the Gth day of August, 1861, le
galizing the mite, proclamations, and orders of
the President, after the 4th of March, 1861. re
specting the army and navy, and calling out and
relating to the militia and volunteers of the
States, is constitutional and valid, tui if tliey had
been issued and done under, the previous author
ity and direction of Congress.".
Kentucky.
Public attention has been directed with much
interest, to this State. The Secessionists were
determined to have it, by choice, by policy, or by
force. When the matter was put to the , choice
Of the people, they determined, by a large ma
jority, not to leave the Union. But the people
of Virginia and Tennessee had both so deter
mined, and yet policy, by the aid of rebel Gov
ernors, had carried an act of Secession. Hence,
As Kentucky had a Governor possessed of a rebel
heart , it was thought that shb also cotild be man
aged. This proved a failure. On the election
OA new Legislature, an immense majority voted
for Union. men. Force, then, was the last resort.
This was inaugurated by an invasion, and the tak
ing, poUsession of the Heights on the West bank of
the Mississippi, at Hickman and Columbus;`from
which places,
,the rebel army, mostly Tennessee
ans;!under direction of General Polk, set out for
Paditcah, on the Ohio, at the mouth of the •Ten
ness'ee. Gen. Grant, at Cairo, immediately ad
va4d with an adequate force of United States
troops, and preoccupied Paducah. •
The new Legislature of Kentucky being now in
session, the matter was taken up, and the follow
ing resolutions were adopted in the House by a
vote of 76 to 20, and'in the Senate by 26 to 9:
Resolved, That Kentucky's peace and neutral
ity have been wantonly violated, her soil' has
been invaded, the rights °flier citizens have been
grdssly infringed by the 'so-called Southern Con
federate forces. This has been done without
cause; therefore,
Be"it Resolved by the General Assembly of I the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, That the be
requested to call -out the military force of the
State..to expel and drive out the invaders.
Resolved, That:the United Stales be invoked to,
give that aid and assistance, that protectitin
agairtet invasion, which is granted to each one of
the States by the fourth section of the fourth ar- ,
dale of the Constitution of the United States.
Resolved, That Gen. Robert Anderson be, and
he is hereby requested to enter immediately upon
the active discharge of his duties in this military
district:,
Resolved That we appeal to. the people of Ken
tuckY, by the ties of patriotism and honor, by
the ties'!of common interest and common defende,
by the „remembrances of the past and by the
hopes of future national existence, to assist in re
pelling and driving out the wanton violators of

Governor !Aspirin, in his message, had pre
sts ited strong secession views, but still had prom
is {d to conform to the will of the people, as it
mi g ht be expressed by the Legislature. These
resilutions, however, were too strong for his
falaity to his promise, and he interposed his veto.
Tike Legislature then passed them over the veto.
This puts matters in a fair way of coming speed
ily to a crisis.

The intention of , the rebels in tearing up rails
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has,. been to
furnish themselves with materials kir, building
side tracks and "turnouts " on the reilroad be
tween Richmond. and-Manasias Junction. They
have five engines whieh were in the fire, and
have transported them to Itichmond piecemeal.
They may possibly be made serviceable, knit, not
reliable or comparatively safe.
The rebels took one hundred, and fifty freight
cars over the turnpike road from' the Baltimore
and ohl6 Railroad to Strasburg, wherethey were
ploced on the track and speedily transferred to
Richmond.
A balloon reconnoissance, made this, after
noon, failed to show that the rebels are in any
great force near, Washington, though it is prob
able they may be - concealed in the woods. The
intrenchments on Munson's Hill prove to be very
weak Indeed, merely for rifle defences. Two or
three field pieces could be discerned , within
them, but it was evident that they were not de
fenses which the' rebels intend to hold. It is
more than ever evident that, the rebels do not
contemplate an advance. ,
Nearly all the regiments in the neighborhood
of Arlington Heights and Chain Bridge were out
under arms during all laiVnight.: The artillery
practice is daily continued at the forts. •

Arrests in Baltimore.
Mayor Brown and a number of the secession
members of= the Maryland- Legislature have been
arrested in Baltimore, and. are now in the custody
of the Government. Hpon one of, ,them was
found' a draft of the ordinance of Secession, or
resolutions declaring Maryland to be in hostility
to the Government. It is well known that the
Secession leaders had arranged With the rebels of
the Confederate States .that this Legislature
should declare. Maryland, out of the Union ; then
the rebel army was to enter the. State as,an
"army of liberation " For this purpose they
were concentrating' on the" Maryland and
were making- extraordinary exertions' to com
mand the navigation of the Potomac Iby their
batteries at .4cquia;. Creek. ,The scheme, of
Course, involved the possession of Baltimore, and
the cutting off Washington. `How far the ar
rest 'of the rebel' Menibers' of the Legislnture
will break up the' arrangements of the traitors,
yet remains to be seen ; ; btit one thing is certain,
that no ordinance or resolutions of secession will
be enacted. The Maryland Legislature has ad

WHERE DOSS VIE 'BOIITIE oiT ITS POWDZS?

In conversation the 'other day with a leading
powder manufacturer of thiti vicinity, we asked
him where'be supposed the rebels obtained their
powde ! He said he had no doubt they had been
furnished with large quantities from the North,
and that it had reached'theM through lientecky.
He said there were no poWder mills in the South
ern States to his knowledge;'that he had 'heard
of there being a millin Virginia, buthe had ne.v
er yet found a powder, man or powder user, who
knew that such was the fact.

York, has made an invention 'that promises re
markable results in the use:of gunpowder. It is
made into the form of, a paste an& is affixed to

Tile Philadelphia Inquirer says : —"lt is un
thawed that the property "of Robert'Tyler, a

This property includes real-estate and household
goods.; ; Robert Tyler ftret appeared before the

in the character of a lawYeewithout Clients, - and
with*, no very good references'as to his past
career. He married the daughter- 'of ;Thomas
Cooper, the v celebrated'actors having becomiig. ,
acquainted with her at Bristol, the residence

during the Summer nionthi; and became an ac

won many:friends by, his Oratorical poWers. He
was afterwards appointed Clerk of the Supreme
Court of. Peonsylvani p ,,,a,,position worth ten or
twelve thousand dollars per annure. While thus
in., the serviee'of the Government, he lost no 'dp
portunity; during the ettilY.stages of this ''rebel
ion, to to uphold the South and denounce the
North. His enunoi ationa became:so violent, t hat
immediately after the fall i of Sumpter he was,
obliged `to leave the city, and now holds, a sub
ordinate position, in'the IreaSuiy bepartment'of
the, so-called Conederate Go'vernment, at. Rich

An Anticipation , of Peace.
It promises well for peace' that the President,
in appointing the Commissioners to, represent the.
interests of American exhibitors, at the 'WerbPs
Fair, to be held in London,- in September, 1862, ,
has named a goOd portion of his Own,Cabinet,'
together with the 'heads of other important Bu
reaus, in Washington. Among 'themr are Mr.
-Seward,'Secretary of State; Mr. Smith, of the
.Interior; Mr. Kennedy, 'Superintendent of the'
Census Bureaq • Prof,. Henry, of, the Smithso
nian Institute; Mr. Robert, Wallach, -

the nation; forced for •awhile to stop in the
bloody House of Mars, will have "resumed its

The importance , of the *United States.do Eng
land, is manifest in the amount, they havelorpay
about us.; No 'subject so, absorbs 'the ,pubic
mi,pd. The aristocracy, and their organ; ,
H-Russell, now in Washington, hate our. institu
tions, And: delight :in "caricaturing us, and in
magnifying our mistakes. We can bear; theh‘
ridicule.
• The Philadelphia, North American, in - its slim
:
mary of'recent , ite*s, says:
Our readers , nie familiaWwitht the tirades6f the
LondOn Times sigainst us. Rs employers appear
to be rendered , doubly savage by the fact that we
are raising money among ourselves for the war,
instead 'of,applying to them ,for it. - Hence "the
curse of' , Cromwell is deriounced against us:"
We cannot conquer 'the South,' and we shall be
bankrupts , into the bargain. , The battle'
Springfield does not excite much comment ;, but
the Liverpool... Manna says of it, that "though at
'first announced is a great Northern defeat, it
manifests itself to be, by all the rules of war,
common Sense and fact; a genuine Northern
victory." ; ‘,.
We can already perceive an improved tone to
ward us, arising from the high opinion enter
tallied in England, of General ,McClellan., In
proof of this 'we" quote the'Tiilriivri'''t,kg from the
Daily Post: 4 , General McClellan:seems to be a
fine~ soldierly fellow. He ..has suppressed a'mu.,
tiny, at Washington, with exemplary pr,ompti
tude and firtnness.'.',
Trade is reviving in many quarters, and the
Vrosp§ots of 'a plentiful harvest are good; but as
the, corn 'that 'England don 'produce will not
feed• her population, she must , buy of other coun
tries. She is actually sending 'Cotton to NOW-
YorIF ; only a small quantity, however
_but
the thing is commented on as unprecedented, es
pecially under the circumstances. •
On the '.subject of the? transfer',f Sardinia to.
France, 'Mt: Roebuck,member of the British
Parliament, has recently affirmed, in a speech
which he delivered at Sheffield, that he knew of
a convention, by the terms of which the Island of
Sardinia was to be eventually ceded to France.
We-give a formal denial to this assertion. -Not
only the act denounced by:Mr. Roebuck has no
existence„but,even the thought of 'entering, into
disFussion on this subject with the Cabinet at
Turin has never entered the' mind of the govern
ment of the Emperor. ' '
The Emperor Napoleon 111. has just completed:
au interesting investment, at Rome. kHe has p'ur-'
chased of the ; King of Naples that portion of the
celebrated Mount palatine known as the Parnese
'Garden. It comprehends by far the greater part
of 'the hill; ihe whole of it, indeed, 'except the
the part 'oocupied by the well known Mills Villa,
where so many excavations shave. been made, and
so many antique treasures found. .Tdie extent of
the ground is somewhat about twenty acres, and
upon it stands the whole of the ruins of the pa-.
ace of the etesars; of which two entire stages are.
still buried under ground, and have remained so,'
ever "since` the barbaric .avasiou. eipeatetr
that they will be found to be rich in undiscoveffed'
statues. Many, such objects, indeed,• , havel , ,al..'
ready been discovered in the:very small portion"
of it which lias hitherto been examined; amongst,
others the remains of the primitive wall which"
encircled. - ancient Rome, and'Of the Most ancient
of all, that which surrounded the Palittine
_when in the time, of its foundera contained the
