Keeping Step.
A regiment of trained soldiers were
marching through the street on their way
to the seat of war. "How accurately they
keep step to the music," said one of the
admiring bystanders.
The
.soldie,rs . of Christ's army should
keep step " with one another. Nothing is
more unseemly than an 'army in motion
failing to keep step. And yet this failure
is often seen in Christ's army. So far
from keeping step and thus lambing com
pactly towar the enemy, portions of the
army sometimes seem to be marching iu
different directions, and sometimes there
is even skirmishing between them as though
they were, enemies. -
In order that Christ's soldiers may move
in the same direction and keep step, they
must understand their orders and kuow
whither they are marching. Their orders
are open to all. There are no sealed orders
given to confidential officers. The orders
are open to the study of all, and every' sol
dier's duty is to be fully acquainted with
them. They are ,so full and clear that no
one need be in ignorance as to his duty.
They must be animated by a common
love to their leader. They must have per
fect confidence in him—perfect confidence
in his wisdom and his impartiality. If
any' foolishly persuade themselves that
they are the peculiar favorites of the great
Leader—that he is partial to the Presby
terian, Baptist, or 'Episcopal brigade, they
disqualify themselves from keeping step to
the celestial music.
They must all be animated by a strong
eprit de corps. This spirit must embrace
the whole army, and not be confined to
one's particular battalion. This feeling
tends wonderfully to unity of action.
Step by step, shoulder to shoulder, the army
pervaded by this spirit marches on to vic
tory. Christ's soldiers will have this
spirit, when the Spirit of God dwells in
them, when their bodies are temples of the
Holy Ghost.
It is a sad truth that Christ's soldiers
do not always keep step. In many things
the children of this generation'are wiser
than the children of light. Christ's sol
diers need a more thorough training' in or
der that they move more with unity and
success to the conquest of the world.

We call the attention of our readers to the ad
vertisement of this enterprising - .firm; and copy
the annexed extract from a letter in Monday's
Gazette, dated Saint Louis, Oct. 9, 1861, stating,
at the same time, that the machinery referred to
was built by Hartupee & Co.:
The four gun-boats built here are approaching
completion, but will not be ready to launch until
November let. The boilers and engines made
for two of them in Pittsburgh have arrived, with
the Pittsburgh mechanics to. put Ahem up, and
their superiority to the machinery made here is
apparent at the first glance. The Government
made a great mistake in not building these boats
at Pittsburgh. They would have been finished
sooner than they will be here, and the job would
have been much better done.
11 issour
No great battle has been fought in this State,
lately. Price retires too rapidly to be overtaken
by our army. Several small engagements are re
ported, all with loss to the rebels. The State is
likely to be cleared of the foe shortly, except it
be their guerrilla parties. These may be trou
blesome for a while, unless punishment shall be
sternly inflicted upon marauders. •

Sr. JOSEPH, Oct. 15.—Eighty of Maj. James'
cavalry, at Cameron, on Saturday, came upon
250 or 300 rebels, in a corn field, twenty miles
South of Cameron, in Ray County. The advance
guard of nine routed them, they seeking refuge
in the timber. Our guard was reinforced by
thirty, when they completely drove them from
that section, killing eight and taking five prison=
era. Four Federals were wounded and one killed.
Our cavalry were at first fired on by seventy-five
men. One Lieutenant has thirty-two bullet holes
in his clothes, and six bullets scratched his akin.
Fort Pickens.
This place lies, for a time, been eclipsed, by
Washington, Kentucky, and Missouri. But it be
gins to loom up. Some two weeks ago we were
informed of a bold dash; by a few boats, from a
vessel, of tho blockading squadron, upon the
navy yard at Pensacola, where a large gun was
spiked, and .a privateer burned. Now we are
told of a similar dash by the rebels upon our men
on Santa Rosa Island,- a short distance from the
Fort.
A copy of the Norfolk Day-Book, of a late
date contains dispatches from New-Orleans, giv
ing an account of a surprise and attack made on
Col. Billy Wilson's Zouaves, at Santa Bon.
Island, an the Bth inst.. Detachments from sev
eral Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama regi
ments, made a landing, in the night, and drove
in Wilson's pickets, and shortly, ,afterwards, a
fierce fight began. The Zouaves of Col. Wilson
are credited with having fought with great
bravery, and the rebels admit a- loss of forty
killed and about double that number wounded.
The rebels claim to have spiked the guns of the
Zouaves and destroyed all their camp equipage.
They also claim to have committed great slaugh
ter among the Zouaves, but give no number of
the killed. The rebels also say they carried off
a numberof prisoners.
The information is from the rebels themselves,
and these admissions show that they suffered se
verely.

The Expedition South.
Some weeks ago we had rumors numerous, of
a naval expedition to the South, and many were,
for a time, anxiously looking for tidings. But
no expedition,.in force; then sailed. Now, how
ever, there are preparations almost completed. A
pare of the vessels have,already sailed, and oth
ers are soon to follow. 'Alarge number of the
finest' steamboats of our commercial marine, have
been chartered as
transports. A few of our
large vessels of war, and many of the smaller
ones are ;in readiness.
The strength of the expedition is not yet di
vulged. Several regiment have embarked at
New-York, and as the fleet is to rendezvous at
Annapolia, the fifteen thousand men recently
sent there, are likely for that purpose. Conjec
tures put the land- force at twenty thousand,
thirty thousand, and even fifty thousand. The
first number is likely nearest the true limit:.
We are decidedly in favor of r employing a
force fully adequate to do the,work required. It
is economical,. both as 'to life and money: = Onti
PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1861.
rand defect, thus fur, has been in underrating
our enemy, and hence in giving battle with infe
rior forces. Such was the case at Bull Run.
Here, also was General Lyon's mistake. lie
should not have penetrated Missouri with a force
so small; or should have retired, in time, before
a vastly more powerful foe, compelled battle.
Thus he could have saved himself and his men.
.Mulligan also made this mistake. He should
have kept his ferry-boats by his oamp, and,
when necessity came upon him, have crossed the
river, and saved his army. The noble bravery
of Lyon and Mulligan-exceeded-their prudence.
We trust. the Southern expedition will be made
strong enough to do its work effectively; and.not
attempt an enterprise beyond its power. We are
abundantly able to defend ourselves on all points,
and to advance in a few places. Let us appre
ciate the prowess of our foe, and prepare so to
assail him as to make victory certain:
The Mississippi divides near the Gulf, and
discharges its water by four channels, all navi
gable for small vessels. Hence a blockade 'is
'very difficult, To make it more easy and eiTect
ive, our squadron have ascended above the forks,
and are there erecting land batteries.
The rebels report, that they sent down a flotilla
and sunk one of our ships, the Preble. They,
howeVer, retired, leaving our men and ships still
there.
Where will the Rebels Winter ?
There seems to be some anxiety among the
rebels about Winter quarters. Where will they
encamp, for safety, food, and warmth? Their
army is illy adapted to a Northern residence, in
tents and sheds. The question of food is also
harrassing. It is pretty certain that their grand
army cannot stay at Manassas: It has : already
consumed most of the produce of Virginia.; and
its connexions by rail with other States, are
likely to be interrupted, if not cut off.
The leaders had hoped if they could not reach
Cincinnati, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New-
York, they could at least have the graneries of
Kentucky and Missouri. This hope is fast fail
ing thcm.. Fremont is driving 'them from Mis
souri, with great rapidity; and their cause in
Kentucky declines apace.
But even if they give up Manassas, Kentucky,
and Missouri, they may not still have their choice.
Our army and navy are not to be idle in the
Winter. :Winter is our favorable season for ag
gressive operation. Malaria stops us in the
Summer, and compels us to set on the defensive.
Frost invites us to a healthful climate in the land
of" our foes.
It is the purpose of our armies to Winter at
the South, and if the rebels will defend their
cites and seaports, they-must be there also.
Washington.
The army still" advances, though slowly. Gen.
M'Call's division, being, twelve regiments of the
Pennsylvania Reserve,' has crossed the Potomac,
and taken its` .'position at Langley, some six or
eight miles from Arlington. Munson's Hill is
now well fortified, and our advance is beyond. it.
Frani Alexandria, we have possession of ,the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad, for eleven
miles toward Manassas. There have been re
ports that Gen. Banks' column passed the Poto
mac, in the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry.
These are premature, so far as regards the main
body, but the indications are that, they may soon
be repeated truthfully.
On the lower - Potomac our flotilla is bath
strong and watchful. Several of the rebel bat
teries, much spoken of some time ago, have
either departed, or proved inefficient. At least
the navigation of the river is still unimpeded.
The batteries at and near the mouth of Acquia
Creek are, no doubt, strong ; but the river there
is wide, and vessels can easily pass, beyond
range of the guns.
About fifteen thousand troops have left for
Annapolis. -Their further destination is not re
vealed.
A writer in the Philadelphia Press speaks
most favorably of the condition of the army. It
is splendid in its material, and thoroughly
equipped, though it has not yet acquired the dis
cipline of a European force. The confidence of
the men in their General is said to be un
bounded, and he, in turn, has infused among
them a spirit of regularity and order. The com
mission to examine., the qualifications of the
commanders of regiments and companies has
worked a magical change in the service, while
the attention bestowed upon the health of the
troops, end upon all departments of the Commis
sariat, is rapidly making the infantrY as hardy
and as reliable as regulars.
OCTOBER 10.--The General of the army of the
Potomac went over into Virginia to-day with im
portant movements in view. The day is wet,
however, and the programme may, in' conse
quence, be modified. An extraordinary Cabinet
meeting was held last evening from till 10
o'clock, at which Generals McClellan and Mc-
Dowell were present. General McClellan stated
his plans in detail, and he has, by consent of all
parties, assumed, not only- nominally, but aotu
'ally, the entire control of the army of the. Pot
omac. He will consult and listen to the opinions
and advice of. General Scott, and other authori
ties, but he must be henceforth left entirely le
his own judgment and decision. Napoleon-like,
he hears the opinions of others, but forms his own
conclusions and acts upon them. He asks this,
and it is ceded cordially to him. TO him, there
fore, must hence be credited the success or
charged the defeat of our arms.
By the occupation of Lewinsville, Gen. Mc-
Clellan takes complete possession of the line of
hills running almost due North and South from
the river near Great Falls to a point beyond
Little River Turnpike and Orange and Alexandria
railroad. Our first lines, which were purely 'for
defense„ follow the course of the river, within
cannon 'shot of which are all our permanent earth
-works. This second line, which is about two
miles from the first, ismtire properly one of ope
rations than of defense, bting straight, is shorter
than the" first, so that the advance corps Can be
ealily strengthened. We now threaten the corn;
munications of the rebel army on the Upper Po
tomac, which a slight advance will entirely cut,
off.
Oar. 12.—For the information of many persons,
wlfo come at a great sacrifice of time, money and
personal comfort.to Washington, for the purpoSe
of visiting their relations in the army on the
ginia side of the Potomac, it is proper to state'
that as Gen. McClellan considers such visits as
inconsistengwith the good of the soldier as well, as,
prejudicial to the success of the army generally,
he has, by Positive orders, refused passes. The
constant communication of families' with their] ,
brothers,rhusbandi and sons is prevented by the!!
refusal, which, in very many instances, is .the:
occasion of much -painful embarrassment to the
officer in charge, as well as to those who, after ,
reaching Washington, are without means of pro
viding tbr their comfort. Many visit the city
merely through curiosity, but they incur needless
expense, as it cannot •be gratified. No passes
are granted excepting in extreme cases where it
is' positively necessary.

The Navy department received the fol
lowing dispatches this morning :—The 'United
States... steamer Union > left Acquia Creek,
on the 11th October, 1861: Sir :—I have the
honor to, submit the following Report for your,
information. Being informed of a large vessel
lying on Quantico or Dumfries Creek"; and
knowing also that a large number of troops were
collected at that point, with a view of crossing
the Potomac, as was, reported to. me, -I conceived
it to be my duty to destroy her. With this oli
ject in my view, I .took two hunches and, my
boat and pulled in 'for the vessel at 2f this
morning.
One of the launches was commanded by mid-
shipman W. F. Stewart, acconipanied byullias

other by' Acting-Master Amoy poster, of the
Resolute. I took•with - me the , pilot' of the vessel.
He was a Pennsylvanian.
Some little difficulty was at fit* experienced
in finding the entrance to the Creek, which yen
will remember is very narrow, but having-found
it, we pulled up this crooked channel--witliiii
pistol-shot 'of either shore—till we diacOVeied the
schooner. She was close to the shore, charge
of a sentry,.who fled at:our approabh and alarm
ed
the camp. She had a new, suit of salisi, and
all the furniture, complete, which was.-.collected
together in the cabin and fired, producipia beau=

tortuous stream, until we 'Were; beyond their

Our crews returned a random fire from the
boats.and They gave cheers and pulled
for their ; vessels, the light from -the burning
schooner guiding them on tlieirtway. Her de
struction was ; complete, and although theelothes
of the men and the boats were perforated with
balls, not a man was killed. The officers and
men vied - with each other in ilielierformance of
their duty. Acting-Master 'Foster applied the
match in the, cabin of the doomed vessel. Act

I hope what I have don'e. will t.meet your ap

Powers most interested in' the question. The
Patric. admits that. the French Goyernment has
fully approved of, the conduct of its Minister in-
Mexico, that it has expressed its- - ,great dissatis
faction with President Juarez, and its intention'
to protect the French interests affected by them.
But no decision has been made as to the means
to be employed to effect the result,. .
.The London Morning Post says that the Patric
his lost its semi • -official character, and, in reply
to its contradictions, repeats thats Convention
will shortly' be signed by the Government's of
England, France, and Spain, who' have •decided
upon sending a joint. expedition to Mexico, to
obtain full redress for their ':long standing
grievances.
The Times; a leader on thesame subject,
mes,
says the assurance, in _spite of the denial of the
Petrie, that the British Government, in -conjunc
tion with France and Spain, and with the con
ethit of the United States, has resolved upon an
intervention in Mexico, will cause neither sur
prise nor dissatisfaetion. -It is Understood ,that
the' intervention will take place its soon as the
weather permits the action of European forces
in such a climate. The full assent of the Ameri
can President has, it is said, been given to the
expedition. The outrages to American citizens
have beeh as numerous and shameful as tbose un
der which' residents of any other eountry'have
mitiered.
'Considerable fluctuations in Mexican securi
ties were - taking place in the, London i market, but
oti the 27th they closed firm at about the highest
. .
point.
FRANCE
France has purchased foreign wheat to the
value of eleven millions sterling, since last hex
vist, hence the rapid'loss of bullion by the
banks.

Fi.ance bad applied to the Bank of Brigland for

The New-York Evening Post says: "It is 'he wisest book
which ha. been written upon America since De Tocqueville.
