No I ard for Entry In Illinois. Editors Chicago Tribune Being very anxious to obtain some reliable information about the public lands of your State, I venture to address yon.

If you can lurnit-h the desired information it will greatly oblige many persons in this section. 1. Are there any lands in your State open for settlement under the homestead act. 2. If so, where are th-y situated S.

What is the character of the soil, water, timber and climate? 4. Are there any eighty acre tracts along the Illinois Central railroad, which are owned by the general government, and open for settlement. If yon can drop me a line containing the desired information, or forward me a copy of your paper to Wakeman Station, Huron county, Ohio, you will thereby grea'ly oblige Makt Others. So far as we know all the lands in the State Illinois are entered. If there should be a stray lot here and there, it would be more thau it is worth to find it.

It will depend upon the circumstances and taste of parties wishing to settle at the West whether it would be desirable for them to buy lands in Dlinois or to go to the unsettled portions of Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, where lands can ba acquired under the homestead act. If a man has some say a thousand dollars or more, and a growing family that he is in duty bound to educate, it may be best for him to settle in Illinois. The lands along the Illinois Central railroad are cheap and excellent in quality, and withal, they are near a market. With these advantages, many think it better and cheaper to pay the price asked for them than to go to unsettled districts and get land gratis under the homestead act. A line addressed to the Land Department of the Illinois Central railroad, at Chicago, will receive all needful information as to the location and price of their lands.

On th other hand, venturous spirits and 1 is probab'e that CoL Halbert E. Paine, of tne tn isconsin, who was suspended by Gen. Williams at Baton Rouge for refusing to drive cotrabands out of hi3 camp, has been been reinstated to his command. Documents of a date subsequent to his removal, forwarded to Gov. Salomon, from Vicksburg, near which place the 4th was at the last accounts, bear his signature, as the commanding officer of the regiment.

The Middletown (N. Prw, published in Col. Van Wyck's congressional district, says that it is Informed by a captain of the 10th legion of that State, that the colonel was not killed, nor even wounded, in the battle on the Peninsula. The truth ill undoubtedly soon be reached. As tbe case at present stands, CoL Van Wyck hs been a prksoner, wounded, killed, and neither killed or wounded.

Lewis F. Haeselman, A. E. Vinton, John Fiihback and Horace A. Fetcher, of InlUnan-apolis, will give $100 to the flrtt full company mnetered into the service from that Congressional district.

That is the way to do It. Let some of our wealthy men move in the same direction. CoL Andrew Lewis of rrincctOD, has been appointed commandant of the 1st congressional district regiment in Indiana, to rendezvous at Evansvitle William Williams, coia-mandandant of the 10th district regiment, the 74tb, rendezvous at Fort Wayne Koger Martin, of Salem, commandant of the 2d district regiment, the CGth, to rendezvous at New Albany. The "Moccasin Democracy" of Minnesota have nominated Judge A. G.

Chatfleld as a candidate for Congress in the 1st district, and Maj. William J. Cullen in the 2d district. The platform adopted is of the Vallandigaini stamp, and that, with its candidates, will be rejected by an almost unanimous vote. A lady, recently from the South, reports the marriave of Miss Margaret Howell, the 6ister of Jtlleasou Davis, to Geo.

W. Cnstis Lee, of the confederate army, eldest son of General Lee, and heir to Arlington by the will of Lis grand father, Mr. Custis. The Roman Catholic Bishop of Virginia, has issued a decree against O. V.

Kosseter, ot the Representative Merchants of America." It contains thirty-five full length, life-size portraits of gentlemen who, by common cousent, are re-gforded as distinguished representative mer-cliants (living or dead) of the United States. The picture is nine by Eixteen feet, and is to ornament the Chamber of Congress.

Among the merchants considered worthy to figure in this picture is Hon. William B. Ogden of this city. Anful 'Condition of the I Hion Itlen iu lst eiiuefneeJ.eltcr from Browinuw. To the Editors of the Philadelphia Ledger: Sins: I have two letters of Jrecent date, HEd Horn r.

liable sources, giving me ne wi from East Tennessee, which I desire to place you in possession of, and through yon, the public generally. The persecutions of the Union men continue, ar-d reaily increase in severity. The property all Union men in the Federal States and army was being sold at auction, including furniture, stock, grain, agricultural implements, no attention being paid to the necessities of their families. The Union citizens and soldiers who are iu the prisons of Sulisbuiy, Tuscaloosa and Mobile, are dying rapidly irom the efleets of tainted meat, rotten lood, and starvation. The rebel authorities seek to dispose of.

Union men ia this way. The whole conntry in East Tennessee is filled with gueinlla bands, who are committing all sorts of depredations on Union people, and destroying their property, 'rue Union men in the lederal army at Gap, are breathingandthxeatuing siaugh-ttr against the despoilers of their hoimee, the coutumers of their substance, and the mur-deis of their parents ami relatives, and nothihg but the direct but the direct interference ol rrovidence will prevent them from executing their threats.No military discipline will be strong enough to prevent these men from the iniiit-criminute slaughter of those secession leaders and soldiers who have done this mischief. One of tte letters before me is from a Union rfficerat Cumberland Gap, and is dated June 27tb. It gives this information Duncau Mc-Call is just over irom Knox county, and reports 8,000 rebel troops at Knoxville, who were going to Gsorgik, by way of Marvvilie, 6tant only sixteen miles from Knoxville. The citizens had their goous jacked np and marked for Atlanta, and were themselves crossing the rie er at Knoxville.

The rebels had arrested Montgomery Thomburg, Lemuel Johnson, Et quire Gadbraitn, Oliver P. Temple, John Baxter, and other, sent them to Thomberg and Temple were dead, and the remains of tne former had been brought back. Others were lying at the point of Col. Thomburg was the commonwealth' attorney, and vitited my bedsile the-night btlore I was started out of the bogus confederacy, upon a pass granted him by the coui-maLding officer. When he took leave of me, he held me by the hand, and with tears in his eyes, made this remark: "Brownlow, I am lad you are going our, and I hope you may arrive safe; but God only knows what will become of those of us who remain Col.

Temple was a good lawyer, iu comfortable circumstances, and a3 noble a man as lived in He was the Bell-Everett elector for that district, in the late election for for President. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn his loss. He has been my friend through evil and good report. Col. Baxter is a wenlthy lawyer of fine talents, and a citizen of Knoxville.

He has been my tiietid for years, and I sympathize with his wife and ten interesting chddren. Cert duly nothing short of an old-fashioned or.ho,lox bell will suit as a place of confinement for the persecutors of these Union men. July 0, l5-i W. G. Bhowxlow.

North Ciwt.Ueel. Fort 4 TUESDAY, JULY IB, 1SC3. NO PRESIDENT MAKING. This is not a time for President making. The business of the day and the year is the Lcath'g of the enemy and for ourselves vc, care not who has the honor of the glorious victory.

We have no candidate for anything, either in the army or in civil life. The winner may be a Democrat, the juost fervid of his sort, and we shall be just as jubilant over his success as if he were Abolitionist, the most rampant of Ma lireed. "What we want is to win and we lave sense enough to know that only in active, earnest support of the Government, made more valuable and efficient ly jubt criticism as well as by word3 of deserved praise, can we hope for the tri umph for which we work and pray. We condemn and repudiate the narrowness of partisanship and the ambition of politicians. We have nothing to 'do with the one or the other.

To put down the rebellion is the object for which every patriotic man should contend put it down not by offurs tf compromise and meaningless talk of peace, but by force of arms put it down to effectually that ten generations will elapse before a rebel vsill show his head again. We are sorry to say that our platform, so plain yet so comprehensive, is not uni versally adopttd as the rule of action. The poli'iciaiis, lik? the army contractors, see in the present emergency a chance to ply their trade, and they are busy more busy in bolsteiing np the reputation of their candidates, and in pulling the strings for the bcLcfit of their party, than in putting an end to the war by the rout and ruin of those who caused it- And to-day there bardiy a division in the country concerning the measures which the Government shall adopt, or the Generals whom it shall most trust, that has not i origin in some partisan scheme hich the politicians have hatched, that tt cy and their friends may ride into power. If the war for the Union miscarry, and the llepublic is split in twain to be uniced no more, the distractions, the animosities and the bitter hates engendered among the pi ople by those who have been accustomed to lead them, will more than all things else, be the cause of the disaster. Let the masses look to it that their old party affiliations, their former creeds, prejudices and organizations, do not lead them astray.

The business of war is pre-eminently one in which common-sense makes the largest figure; and the man at his plow or injhis workshop at home is just as much a part of the warlike machinery of the nation as the soldier in the field. As common Sense controls him and those like him, so will the contest go. If he is persuaded tbat the way to sustain the gov-cn mint is to refuse to it the payment of taxes, to discourage the enlistment of men, to magnify every disaster, to depreciate every victory, to foment divisions by insisting upon the enforcement of his own party views against the will of the majority, to spend his time in figuring for this candidate or that wten he should be working for his country, to keep alive all his tld party dislikes, and to sneer at everything which a member of his party has not done, if this, we say, is to be the course which the people, regardless ot the greatness of the crisis and the imminence of the danger, are to pursue, we may as well confess our defeat and humiliation at once, lay down our arms and submit to the disgrace of our country without further loss. Let the men and the journals who pursue this course, and recommend it to others, be watched. There is treason be-lind their endeavors TISE CONFISCATION RILL PASSCI.

The Senate passed, on Saturday, the conference confiscation bill, by twenty -eight, to thirteen, giving the measure the splendid majority of more than two-thirds. Among the nays are the names of Browning and Cowan. Far ndbile fratrumf Browning cf Illinois voting with traitors and semi-secessionists, such as Saulsbtiry and Stark Pity that Gov. Yates, whose proclamation has stirred the deepest depths of patriotic emotion from Cairo to Chicago, s-houlJ have been so wofu'ily deceived in bis man. It is some consolation at least, that his days are numbered.

If we must have a Browning in the Senate, let such fire on-the-rear" seeesli as the Chicago Times be guilty of him. The bill, though in some few particulars not all that could have been desired, it energetically enforced, will enable the government to put down the rebellion. The first part of it defines the punishment against the crime of treason, and appears to be intended for any future as well as for the pres: cnt rebellion. Such a law should have been placed on the statutes of the nation half a century ago but such was the devotion then of the States to the Union that the necessity for it was never thought of The jiower placed in the hands of the President to put down the rebellion, is comprehensive and ample. The bill plrces at bis disposal the entire loyal strength of the republic, without reference to the color of the skin that covers it; it strikes at the vitals of the rebellion, by severing the the vs and sinews that sustain it; and it seizes and confiscates the property of the traitors, thus saving millions upon millions to the pockets of loyal men.

Now let Mr. Lincoln Issue his proclamation seizing the property and freeing the slaves of the rebels, and, if he wants them, a million of men will spring to arms and execute it. Let loyal men everywhere thauk God and take courage. The glorious principles of the Declaration of Independence once more ride in the council halls of the nation. Patriots have ofcen despaired.

Hope deferred has male them hcartfiek. But the work has now been well and effectually done. With llonest Abe Lincoln to execute the law, the people can rest in the belief that Slavery is in pro cess of ultimate extinction." Let him carry out Lis magnificent conception, and history will place his name beside that of Wash ington and all noblest of the race. But let not forgotten. This measure is the crowning act of the noblest Congress that has assemVled since the dajs of Adams, Jefferson and their compatriots of revolutionary story.

On the brightest page of the nation's history this act will be written next to the Declaration of Independence. Let all the people exclaim, Glory to God in the highest on earth death to all traitors unless they lay down their arms ard submit to the govern ment wLicli God gave to our fathers. Sa shall peace dwell in the laud, and let all the people say smiii. NEfiHO OltSllU'l'KRS. The Republicans are snecringly called by their political opponents, "negro worshippers." This is a very silly misnomer, and as absurd as silly.

The controversy is not about negroes but the political status of the negro. One side says that the negro ought to be free, because he is a man, the other insists that he ought to be a slave because he is Uack (or yellow, a3 the case may be.) The Republican argues that the colored man should be paid wages for his work, should be allowed to own himself and his family and to acquire property and enjoy the fiuits of Ms labor. The dough-face argues that he ought to work for nothing, and belong to another man who happens to be a shade whiter that he should be chattel property to fbe bought and sold, bartered or beaten like the beasts of the lield. The controversy is therefore about the relation the colored man shall hold in the scale ol society. Shall he be ranked as a human being or a brute? That's the question.

What the Republican "worships" is the attribute of freedom, and not the negro per se. What the doughface worships is the condition of servitude, lie lovea the neero provided he is a slave, but hates him if be be free.

There are no negro worsMppera" among wMte people but there are freedom worshippers and slavery worshippers. Th03e who stig matize the Republicans a9 negro worsMp- pers are themselves invariably worshippers of slivery. A Republican therefore, is one who would endow the colored man with freedom rather than debase Mm to the level of the brute by making him a slave. And a doughface is one who would deprive the colored man of his inalienable right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, rob Mm of his birthright, and sink him into the condition of chattle property.

Such is the difference between the two parties on the question of human rights. A QtEStxIoiV ANSWERED. A correspondent who signs himself a "Douglas Democrat," asks us tMs question: If the employment of negroes In military if ccufiscationg the property of rebels, if subsisting the army on the enemy would enable the Government to put a more ppeedy end to the rebellion and restore peace to the conn-try, I wieU to ask why that policy has not been lonp since adopted Give me a candid answer, even if it ehonld hit your party and president, for I Euppose you will not deny that a Sepublican ad-miiiietration is in power." It gives us great pleasure to answer our Democratic querist's questions. It is simply and solely because the Democratic party in the North and the professing Unionists of the Border States have strenuously, bitterly opposed the adoption of those necessaiy measures. They warned the president not to employ those instrumentalities, at his peril.

They have notified bim if he did, that they would not sustain his administration. They threatened to open a terrible fire on the rear," if the rebels were deprived of their slaves or their property. They insisted that whatever became of the Union, the divine institution must not be disturbed, nor must the army be allowed to quarter on the property of the traitors. No nigger must be let loose," no rebel's effects must be confiscated. This has been the Democratic and Border State platform from the day Sumter was bombarded until the day McClellan's army was so nearly destroyed by the rebels.

The administration for the sake of preserving unity and harmony among the people, acquiesced and has conducted the war in accordance with the conditions imposed by the democrats and BordcrStateUnionists, and in the language of the CMcago Times, "behold the result!" It is now known to all men, that the conservative policy has proven an utter failure and must be speedily abandoned or the Union is gone forever. More radical measures must be adopted, and we rejoice that honest Democrats are arriving at tMs conclusion, and are now silling to let the government employ any means permitted by the usages of war. When this is heartily done the rebels will soon be made to succumb and the Union will be saved. Ilad the democrats concurred with the policy of the Republicans when the war broke out, or even after the Bull Run disaster, the rebellion would be crushed out to-day, and the war ended but better late than never. BEBEL STBENVTn AT KICHJIOSD We C3n not agree with the estimate of our Washington correspondent that the rebel force at Richmond numbered but men.

It is true that prisoners have asserted it, but other prisoners put the rebel force as high as 200,000. Tiie truth iu all probability is between these extremes, say 140,000 men. One rebel prisoner would feel like underatiog the strength of hi3 side in order to magnify their bravery while another and shrewder one would undcrate their numbers for the purpose of discouraging our army from attempting to take Richmond. The advantage the rebels had was, in selecting their point of attack, and falling on a wing, ordivision, of our retreating army, in greatly superior strength-Thus the right wing of Gen. McClellan's army, consisting of 35,000 men, was assailed at Gaines' Mill by not less than 00,000 of the enemy.

The rbel Gen. Lee constantly reinforced Ms columns with fresh troops where fighting was going on, which was not the case on our side. The federal army was rctrcatiug to a new base of operations, and each corps and division commander was left to shift for himself. Sumner, nintzelman, Keyes and Porter repelled the attacks of the enemyjunsupported, as best they could, and the public concede that they did excellently well under the circumstances. By hard fighting and good luck, the army finally reached the river, ith less loss than was at first supposed.

A BUAFI" FOH XKOOPS. The Albany Evening Journal, edited by Thurlow Weed, says It is feared that the enlistments under the new call wiU not be active enough for the emer-peiiCy. We share somewhat in this fear. Ten 3iiBwUl decide. Jf, at the expiration of that time, those fears shall be realized, then let ushave adioft.

The demand is too pressing to be de-laj td. The men mutt be had voluntary. This chimes in with what we have already written on this subject. Tne men must be had, and enlistments are not active. Whether the War Department has kept back facts relative to recent affairs before Richmond, the statement of which would, in a sense of the danger of our army, and the precise nature of our reverses, have had a strong tendency to bring a strong rally of volunteers is a question upon which we entertain no doubts.

But the other course was chosen, and the truth disguised. Yet men are wanted, and there is no lack of patriotism. It will devolve upon the government to designate who shall go. It will not do to waste the entire season in getting up skeleton regiments. The work must go on at once.

The men are needed now. In thirty days' time 100,000 men should be on their way to fill up the shattered regiments now in the field. In the same time the government should receive every volunteer willing to help save the nation, and that, too, without looking at the color of Ms or asking for his free papers. REPLY TO A Til HEAT, Said a well known Democrat, one of that sort of Democrats who loves his party organization more than the honor and unity of his country in the hearing of an equally well known Republican, in tMs city, on Saturday last Let Gov.

The negro catching proclivities of General Mitchel, and the hatred thereof by his whole army are well kno wn to the public.

The following extracts from a letter written by a member of the 24th (Hecker) 111., regiment, which has been under Gen. Mitchell, to a friend la this city, dated "Camp Battle Creek, June 25tb, 1802, will be read with interest: Our boys that have been near Chattanooga are full c-t praise about the enthusiastic Union feeling that prevails among the people which, live all over the country they passed through. It is even true that the people twenty-live miles from Chattanooga presentend the 37th Incima Regiment 'hat was along with with a handsome Union flag. This is again a proof that wherever the reign of king cotton ceases, the Union feeling develops itself in its fullest glory, and confirms the opinion I indirectly expressed in my last letter to you, that the political, cr social principles of a nation or section of a nation if not entirely created by its material and pecuniary interests are at least subject to them. But king cotton is at present surely in a sad fix, and we hope his vassal, slavery" also.

Imagine the stldiers of our Union, tramping aud bustling on his proud domain. Don't all this forbole a soon dethronement and total forfeiture of all his former rights and titles? Surely when this is accomplished, tae whole country shall make him him his most humble and obedient servant. But his vassal, his most sneaking and fawning servant, slavery, must be entirely crushed out aud banished, and if this is not done, it is no use to crush ont this infernal serpent of rebellion, for slavery is the head ot it, and that will alwavs proauce aealn aunns: existence. Besidee, slavery, while the war is raging, is a sharp weapon in the hands of our enemy, and it is a generally acknowledged prin ciple, iiium a recollect to nave read even in Kent, that war never is carried ou lor the sake of peace, and that it must be the task of the belligerent to damage his opponent as much as pos-ible, in order to take irom him the mi an 6 of warfare and to check mate him. This principle has beenacknor- leogta ana aaoptea, too, by all honest and able generals of ail times, as can be read in the bistoritB cf wars.

But some of our gen-rals don't seem to know this, and blindly shut their eyes to things that must appear, even to the one-eyed, plain and obvious. Tney not only do not consider it their duty to take from the enemy the weapon of slavery, but di grade and humiliate tnemselves to be the myrmidons of the slave power, and fawningly do-all that is in their power to catch and re turn their slaves.

M. Mitchel, Piientiss, A. A. Gen. Commanding.

The abeve order makes no difference between rebel slaveholder and the Union man, but protects the black property rights of both. (A fine sight, that.) When the order was first Issued, we had but a few negroes that had joined us in Missouri, we were therefore exempted from the disagreeable consequences which would have arisen from a possible refusal to respond to the order. Shortly after, the act of Congress concerning fugitivts that found refuge within the lines ot our army was passed, and under its protection we accepted as nuny fugitives as we could feed and usefully employ, with the inUnt to make men of them. We considered Congress a higher superior of ours than auy general, and thought that the orders of all generals as being subject to CoDgress would be at once null aud void if they were in the least incompatible with acts that Congress had passed. Gen.

Mitcht-l's Order No. 79 was contradictory to the act of Congress, bnt instead ot repudiating it, be last week sent orders to the different raiments of his division, that they should comply with ll forthwith. We were yet in Fayetteville when the order, through one J. C. Hull, Lieut.

Col. of the 37th commanding at that place, came int-j our haids. Our officers, with indignation and dis gust, refused to obey the order, in mentioning the ord slave, and was sent back to the said Hull with the instruction that we had no slaves, the colored men in our lines being n. Said Hull, being a fawning hirelingoftbe slaveholders, used now every sneaking means that were in his power, in o-der to serve his employers, who came from the whole conntrv and beleaguered his office all the day, marking pur position ard Btrensth, and thore.by exposing us to the danger that information be given to the erenvy. Very often the rascal Hall came with his yellow rascals to our camp, in order to seize any negroes that might be recognized as having belonged to one of them.

But in order to prevent disturbances for suck an action would not have passed without it we hid our negroes. One morning our camp was ahinned by the lamentable and doleful cry of a human being. On proceeding to the place from wTience the cry was heard, we ascertained that an old, gray-haired mulatto, having by order of his master applied to the scoundrel Hull for the return of a little fugitive boy that had found refuge in one ol the regiments, the 19ih Illinois, and having rectived the boy irom this scoundrel was going to tie him on a mule, as the boy used the utmost resistance to prevent his being carried bacK. into cocdage. liis cries could have moved stones, but the scoundrel Hull could see and hear them without being moved.

Our boys were enraged to the utmost, lianpily the road that the old fellow with his boy had to pass, was occupied by pickets from our regiment. Some of our boys immediately ent cnt to tbe road, and when the old cuss approached, they gave him a respectable threshing and took the boy away from him again. Ihey brought htm into our camp and the scoundrel Hull did not have courage enough to take him from ns again. After he found that all his efforts to degrade us to nigger-catchers were in vain, he brought heavy charees against our major, that acteo iu unity withT)r. Wagner, nobly and honestly.

Both these men manly ana nrmty rerusea do acts tbat would bring shame and disgrace npon them and the regiment, but at the same time used all possible means to calm aud compose the exi-ifd and enraged tempers of our boys. Before Hull could prefer his miserable charges against our gallant major, we re-ci ived marching orders, and when we cime to Huntsville our officers proceeded to Mitchel in order to deliver their swords. Mitchel thereupon flew into a raging fury and would not accept them, demanding that his orders should be executed. Our officers refused but wanted to resign unconditionally. Mitchel then, after long ratling and ranting, sent them off to the regiment, promising to accept their resignations if they would tender them.

After we came to the reg'ment, the other officer-? with the exception of three, after having heart hat had been our troubles at once resolve! to resign too. A Canadian Opinion. The Toronto Globe is the leading Liberal pa-journul iu the Canalas, and by far the most widely circulated of any British American sheet. It has been steadily fair if not positively frietdly to the Union, while its "Conservative" rivals are openly partial to the secessionists. The following is the Glow's comment on our recent battles We look upon the events of the last law days as certain to cause the prolongation of the war fo- some months.

The South will ive increased courage to resist; the North will need a greater number of men, who cauot be onlkd in a day, nor a month. Thousands of livssmuet be sacrificed, because the Washington authorities did not appreciate the situ i-tion. It is the Oid mistake of civilians directing military operations at a distance. Can it be wondered, as the prospect of the end of the rebellion becomes more remote, ai it becomes clearer, that more, and still more Northern men will perish ere the great fight against can be successfully concluded that the American people turn greater lining to a trenchant weapon which they have within their reach, but hitherto have not used. Ic is one ol tbe most extraordinary proofs of the force of an idea, that the Northern people not loi ere tnis insisted on slaves b--ing enlisted in their cause.

Ihey have been told so long that the realms of slavery is sacred soil, not be profaned by Northern foot, that they cannot rid themselves of the idea, even when they are at deadly war with those who inculcated it. The North could enrol colored men to work and fight for them, men who know the conntry, who can endure the climate better than the Southern whit, who would Ught with desperation, feeling that victory would bring freedom and defeat death Tet they are cot enrolled. The North has not yet lcrgotten the crack of the slaveholder's whip in Congress. Supposing Enelmd eneaged in a life and death struggle with the Uimed States how long would she neglect the opportunity of securing the co-operation of the slaves. Not an honr.

She would hold that military policy and humanitarian mo ives combined to make such a movement advisable. Why should not the North adopt it? We deny altogether that it would lead to We believe that the blacks would be submissive aud docile to their officers, and not so likely to ravage and murder as white 60lditra. Let the generals in command of the various armies along the shores of the Gulf, proclaim liberty to all slaves who will join the standard; let them be drilled and armed, and used along with white troops, 60 that they may be under control until discipline is fully es'ablished. At the close of the war, a Urge portion of the able bodied men would be free, and the slavery question would have received its solution. Already Gen.

Hunter has taken 1,000 colored men into his ar-ny and has drilled them. His action has been approved of by tbe House of Representatives, after long debate, and his policy, will probably be adopted on a larger scale at no distant day. Emancipation advances with every mouth's resistance of the ave power. If Mr. Davis holds ont another year, there will not be a slave left in the States at the end of 1S63."

From Our Own Kxab Corinth, July 10, 1863. Much has been said in regard to the situa tion before Corinth, while little has been said in regard to the situation behind Corinth.

When before Corinth Gen. ItaUeck had only the hen-coops within his own lines to look after, now that Beauregard has tendered him thoee of the rebels, his area is wonderfully enlarged, and he finds an increased amount of business on his hands. His army is taking its summer apparently little to do but to guard defenseless women and children whose husbands, fathers and brothers are now before Richmond, giving battle to Gen. McClellan, and to see that the negroes on the plantations are orderly and quiet giving food to the poor and punishing any soldier whose scorbutic appetite impels him to take a handful of onions from the garden of his proteges. I have spent some two weeks in looking through the various camps, calling at the farm houses, for the purpose of posting myself both as regards the sanitary condition of the army and the prospects of the rebel population.

From Hamburg to Danville, 60ine thirty miles, is almost a continous camp, the inhabitants have nearly all fled, and the farms are in ruins, the crops trodden down and the fences in the corduroy roads, A liitle off from the line the farms are in better condition and the usual amount of crops planted, with the exception of cotton, In which com has been planted in its stead. The same may be said of the farms to the northwest of Danville, which have no appearance of the war, further than the fact that the white men have gone to the war and tie farms are carried on as usual by negroes, under the care of the mistresses. A pertinent inquiry is what the army behind Corinth is doing. It is said they are recruiting their wasted energies, lo3t in en-taenching, heavy marches and climatic exposures. Certain it is that they are foraging on blackberries, dieting on strong coffee, fit bacon, hard bread, occasionally relieved with Becebh pies at twenty-five cents each, buttermilk at fifteen cents a quart, onion9 at fifty cents a dozen, of the 6ize of hen's eggs-guarding farm fences, hen coops, feeding pigs on the garbage of the camps, protecting goslings and poultry from being run over or disturbed in their searches for food.

It is true that a small number answer to roll call, while the large number are accounted for, absent or in hospital and dress parade draws out from 200 to 400 to the regiment, as the shades of evening invite to exercise. It may be giving aid and comfort to the enemy to thus give a truthful picture of the army of the Mississippi, but as the enemy are having the full benefit of it what more can they ask besides this, they know the condition of every regiment and its location, and are as well posted in the movements as the officers themselves. "While every able bodied bite man among the rebel population is oif from home fighting the Union, is it not kind in our army to protect their slaves while providing them subsistence, and to keep their women and children from starving, Taat these rebel families are pleased but not thank-iul for idl this kind attention I know from personal examination. This is no plan to improve the health of the army, lor with exception ot the blackberries, it has no redeeming qualities under the present condition of quartermaster and commissary stores. There is plenty of poultry in the country, bnt the rebel women will not sell to our sick soldiers, and the sick in hospi'al and in camp must make the best they can of brown and liurd bread.

In a camp tbat I visited a tew days since I counted over titty cbiekcus, a dozen goslings busy picking up crumbs about the tents, while rigs of various sizes were prowling around the camp rui ning their nosts into iiiess boxes and water buckets. But should a soldier take one of tbee for toll, he ould be sent to extra duty or tied up by his thumbs to a gun carriage. When I consider that a large majority of taese soidiers are the eons of 'armers, of mechanics, and professional men, as well as the fathers themselves who enlisted for the war out of patriotic motives, it is sickening to thus see them sinking lor the waat of good, wholesome food with which the country abounds, and to be put at the ignoble task of standiug guard over negro plantations whose masters are busy shooting down our men from fence corners and forest thickets. The negroes are carrying on plantation work as laithfully nuder the control of tie mistret-s as though the master was present, and as but little cotton has been plauted, the breadth of other crops are corresponding large, and the idea of starving the rebels is simply ridiculous. The negroes take the corn to mill within the lines and sell pies and other products at fabulous prices.

Occasionally an aged rebel will visit camp to gain information and to sell his truck, but the women folks stand on their dignity. I have visited plantations over a space of fifteen miles, have converged freely with the people, have not met a loyal woman, as yet, and among the men but one reasonable rebel, who is strictly neutral. The Union vote on the secession of the State was only a conditional Union vote and not a loyal one. No one here pretends to disguise the fact and only submit from 6heer necessity. Scarcely one Is to be found who will take the oath for the sake of selling his cotton, still hoping that the South will jet win.

This is the class of persons whom the army of the Mississippi is using it giant power to protect. Tbe age of our neut ral riend has been his protection. He owns but one negro, a valuable farm hand, with whom he labors day by day in the field, the same as our northern farmers with their hired labor. The result is that he has the most tidy farm and the best crops that we have seen in Dixie. This man enjoys good health, which he attributes to his industrious habits, idleness being the bane of the white man.

lie says that tbe corn and vegetable crop is as good this year as usual, and a large amount ill be grown. lie has 2,500 pounds of cotton which he will 6ell in the course of the next ten days. Nearly all of the cotton is secreted, to avoid the cotton burners, which are more dreaded than ourarmy. He does not think the absence of the white population will materially interfere with farm operations, unless the negroes are employed by the army, where they would flock by thousands if the opportunity should be offered. The army is a benefit to the country, except on bat'le-fields, and on skinuiekinggrounds where farm operations are interfered with, for now flour can be had at four dollars per hundred pounds, coflee at twenty-five cents, and other things in proportion, while and garden truck is sold at tauulous prices.

Ties twenty-five cents, milk a dollar a gallon, apples ten cents a dozen. With all these advantages and slave labor intact, the men can easily be spared to defend Richmond, way-lay railroad trains, make forays on our camps, or shoot down stragglers from our lines. Never in the history of war have such scenes been enacted, and never before has an enemy been treated with such a marked show cf kindness and consideration. And none but educated soldiers could be kept withia such bounds in an enemy's couutry, while the enemy could ask nothing more generous. No wonder that they hope for a favorable issue to tbeir wicked cause.for with this kind of tactics they will thrive and gather strength, while our my is wasting away and becoming disgusted with the farce.

We need laborers in the camp, cooks, teamsters, and nurses in the hospitals, and here at our hands, anxiously waiting to assist us arc thousands of industrious and hardy blacks who would faithfully perform those datie? and upon whose loyalty we can depend. If they are so trusty and valuable to their rebel roasters ithout wages, how much more so id they be whentimulated with the hope of freedom receiving pay for their labor? If the lines of our army was Openei to tuo, thousands upon thousands would leave their plantations and give ns their valuable services and Urns draw from the resources of the enenT, whose women and children would be in such real danger of starving that their husbands and sons would be compelled to lay down their arms and return home to protect them. There js no other way of closing this war. It Ehonld be so prosecuted as to produce starvation throughout the rural districts, unless the men lay down their arms and return to their loyalty. This entrenching behind Corinth, this care of rebels will never accomplish it.

Enough cf blood and treasure of Northwest has already been spent in tne silly attempt to carry out that most infamous aud unwise Order No. 3, to have a stop put to its further mischief. Gen. Halleck, with a dogged stupidity wiU adhere to his pet, for he belongs to a diss of old fogy politicians whose boast is that they never change, With it we are losi ag valu ible time, more valuable lives, wasting the resources of the country, and making little progress. When we begin to mis-a our army lor battle, lay waste the country and subsist our troops upon the enemy wa shall have reached the beginning of the end, bnt so long rebel wives are assured that they will not, be disturbed, so long will they ad their husbands and sons to wage the contest, but take from them their last, farm hands, their ci tton, and tiieir teams, allow soldiers to cook their meals with farm rails instead of picking up half rotten wood in the forest, and they would beein to seethe prac'ical results of the rebellionln all of its full blossomed beauties.

But little cotton has been burned in this part of the State of MUsiss'ppi, the farmers in some instances driving oil' the cotton burners, bnt in most cases it is carefully hid, and all it needs is to hire the negroes lor any purpose, aud they would soon show the army behind Corinth its secret hiding places. On an average there most be a ton of cotton to each, farm, worth some four hundred dollars. The cheapest way to protect this is to ship it north, and permit the army to move forward. Strip the country of its slaves, its cotton and its growing crops, and it would need no large army to hold it in subjection. Until the negro is set free and allowed to aid us, the.

war will linger, and the West will pour out its blood and treasure for no practical result Set the 6lave free, and they will Tirfirlncp more cotton in the next ten years than under the sUve system, for they will not FROM KKMl'CKY. IDE STATE INVADED BY GrERSILLiS. The Capture and Butoliery of Pennsylvania Cavalry. AN ATTEMPT TO BE MADE TO CAPTURE THE GUERRILLAS. Special Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.

Lotjisviijjs, July 11, 1862. In a former letter I mentioned that Kentucky was presenting at this time as interesting a study as she did last fall. And the interest now is of the same character as then, as her condition now and then is equally anomalous. It appears to be the fate of Kentucky that in matters of war she shall be inconsistent she never was in politics. At present, while her loyal citizens at home are pursuing their peaceful avocations, and her loyal soldiers are protecting the interests of the loyal of other States, her rebels are engaged in warlike demonstrations, and to-day, at the Instance of the Kentucky secessionists, the State is invaded by several of the bands of guerrillas who have disgraced the rebel service, if it were possible to disgrace so dishonorable a service.

The telegraph will already have told you of the invasion of the State by rebel cavalry, who appeared a Tompkinsville a day or two since but the telegraph will not tell yon that these men have come at the instigation of Kentucky secessionists secessionists resident here in the city, and under the eye of the provo6t marshal. Yet this is true, and will be developed some day, but the guilty ill never be punished. And not only do we hear of their appearance at Tompkinsville. The whole State is full of them. This city has furnished arms to guerrilla bands raised in this city and the adjoining county, and men whose duty it is to know can easily procure the evidence of it if they are inclined to seek it.

The fact of a strong guard being stationed here is all that prevents the city from being attacked. As it is, we hear of the demonstrations of those villains in every direction about ns, and we even fear that a large force may be tempted to look for spoils on Main 6treet. The federal pickets at Owensboro were fired upon on Tuesday last at night, and the camp aroused, but the guerillas had fled and escaped. The citizens of that place are said to be rebels of the meanest kind, and are positively known to have lent their aid to tnese fcatd6. Certain signals rung by the citizens on Tuesday night served to warn the Union trt.ops, as well as notity the rebels, and when the latter came in obedience to the signal they louud our men prepared to receive teem.

TLe home guards of Danville had a desperate fight on the same day, Tuesday, with a party of guerrillas from southern Kentucky. The particulars are not yet known at Gen. Boyle's headquarters, bnt it is stated that several persons were wounded. The region about Danville is noted for the prevalence of secessionists, though quite a number of Union men rally around the flag, and to thii support of Reverend Robert J. Breckinridge who resides at Danville.

The following are the particulars of the raid of the 2,000 cavalry at Tompkinsville. Although Gen. Dumont at Nashville has been frequently warned that Sparti, was a rebel rendezvous, he has never attempted to destroy the facilities which they have there for assembling troops and making raids into Kentucky aud Tennessee. Thus undisturbed the rebels have lately been enabled to collect a force of 2,000 cavalry and two light guns with which they have advanced into Kentucky, tbeir natural route being due north to Tompkinsville, in Monroe county. Here they expected to find a force of Col.

Williams' 9lU Pennsylvania cavalry, and hey had made pre parations to capture it. Having the most ac curate information irom their reDei mends, the cavalry was enabled to make a descent upon the Pennsylvanians and the whole party captured. It consisted of three companies of the 9th Pennsylvania under Major Jordan. The Pennsylvanians made a strong resistance bnt were taken by superior numbers, and after they had surrendered were put to tne sword, the whole party being inhumanly butchered. It is said tbat the party was 225 strong and that not half a dozen escaped.

The rebels then passed on going northwest to Glasgow, at men point tney appeared at mianignt on Wednesday. It was understoodand supposed that their purpose was to destroy the bridge across the Green river at Muaifordsville aud thus cut off the supplies of Bnell's armies. In the present low stage of the Cumberland and Tennessee the Nashville railroad is depended upon to supply BuelL Since their appearance at Glasgow nothing has been heard of the rebels. The telegraph line aloug the railroad has not been interrupted np to this hour. Dumont at Nashville, and Boyle at this point are using strong exertions to capture this force.

Dumont sent a strong force from Nashville yesterday morning as far as Green River, and that end ot the "road is strongly guarded. Boyle Eent a force from this city this morning, ana tne norxnern ena oi tne road i6 now in the same condition. But the road is not yet safe, and we shall only breathe freely when we learn that the whole force his again disappeared, or has been captured. It is to be hoped that the reigns will be still tiehter drawn on the rebel sympathizers, who, despite of all argument to the contrary, it is perfectly apparent, are the prime movers and instigating spirits of all these raids. They should be made to pay for it in treasure and blood.

Amongthe strangest anomdism presented by the existimr condition of the State is that of a governor without the authority of that desig- naiory. at as iuuuu uuviaauica ear biuuc lu draw the teeth of Magotlin and allow him to feed in the public trough in that sad condition. Perhaps Magoffin does not care as he is not deprived of his drinking privilege. Deprive him of that and he dies. I notice occasionally that his presence here is mentioned and that it is given a political significance when the fact is he only comes here to get on a spree.

Those at a distance may remark, "Some important political movement on hand," but here we only say Alagoilin's in for a big drunk." It will be remembered that not Magoilin as Governor, but J. B. Temple as President of the Military Board of Ken tucky, signed the letter to the President call- more men. The call for Kentucky troops has just been issued and signed by John SV. Fen- nell, adjutant general oi me cute, Dy oruer oi the Military Board.

It appears in the form of a general order, and is to the point, brief, somewhat terse, not bombastic aud most excellent war litera'ure. The call is for four regiments of infantry immediately, it being stated that this is only a pari oi tne quota requueu ui jveutueiij. cannot tell you whether or not they will be raised. Fennel! says there is no fear that they will not. But I am inclined to think that there is great reason to fear it.

The new call has only served thus far to fill up enlistments for State service. Col. Metcalfe's cavalry regiment has been almost completed in the past few days. Those who desire to volunteer desire tore-main in the State. There is no feeling if patriotism in th matter.

The form of the president's call deprived it of aDy enthusiasm creating style and the people think they are called upon to retrieve disaster, and not to support a victorious government. The corrcspoudence with the governors was in bad style and haste. It looked as if the governors knew better than than the president what was needed, and he had admitted as much by acquiessing iu their suggestions. It looked as if the president had said to the governors I'm afraid to ask the people to do any more; you make the proposition as if it came from them. The fact is I don't know.

I'm afraid that is I hesitate" and those people of the United States that follow plows and gather corn and wear jeans and stow away all the gold and silver, know as well as you and tbat when a man hesitates he is lost. If the President had said The country is in danger, 6he wants more men" do you suppose your praises and our cares would not have turned out their quota Another Fugitive Case. Lieutenant O. M. Brown, of the 3d Ohio cavalry, who was arrested for preventing a couple of men from securing a fugitive for a pursuer, has been discharged from custody without trial or examination.

In a letter written by ham from Tuscnmbia, to his I wrote you some time ago, giving yon an account of my arrest and confinement in my quarters for tbe crime of assisting a brother niau to from the demon in hnman shape who would have dragged liiin back into tbe bond-ace from whicbThe would have escaped. Well, alter keeping me in my tent for nine days, the general ordered me to duty again, and thus ended the whole allair. Allow me to say, however, that the fugitive made good his escape. The following extract will be of general interest, especially as showing how soon the bread" returned which Lieutenant in aiding the fugitive slave, "cast upon the waters:" This brings me to another subject just as interesting and that is, how dangerous it is fur a people by to make enemies of a part of their fellows. A number of instances have come under my own observation where the slave has betrayed the plan of his matter.

One I will relate Two companies of our regiment (one of which was ours,) was stationed eighteen miles from any otherforce, and the leading ecctsh of the neigborhooi laid a plan to make prisoners of us all. Oae evening, while talking over the matter at the tea-table, the waiticg-maid (in whim they put the n'most confidence,) listened white she poured the tea, to every word. No sooner as supper over than she repaired to the eabin where she found a friend to whom she told the whole, and as soon as all was still, that man, after doing a hard day's work, traveled six mi ce and informed ns of the whole plot, and then walked back again iu time to do his work the next day. I have not the least donbt bnt that the plot would have been car out, if it had cot been carried ont. If it had not been for this information.

Thare are millions of acres still open to settlement of the very finest lands that the sun shiues upon in all his course." The best way for settlers to obtain information is to delegate one of their number a man of close observation and sound judgment, to travel through the country and make the most advantageous location he can find. That he can find sections of country where settlers can greatly improve their worldly condition there can be eo donbt. We trutt our correspondent in Ohio, and his friends, will be among those who reap the riche st blessings which a residence at the West can offord. Is tbis I'nionlsm 1 The politicians now seeking to do business under the name and firm of the Ohio Democracy," claim to be loyal, Union men, and to be in earnest in the support of the government in its efforts to suppress the rebellion. The following extracts which we find in the Cincinnati.

Commercial, do not look much Uke loyalty, but more like the spirit of treason and rtbellion now rampant throughout the South: From the Ashland Union. Hired Hessians" going to the sanny Southern soil to bntcher, by the wholesale, not foreKnurf, but gcod men. as exemplary Christians at any oi our men, ho wili believe they are fighting for uod-given rights. TMs is a damned Abolition war. He hdiert Abe Lincoln is as much a traituras Jrff.

JJacis The Ashland county Democracy, at their late convention, passed the following resolution: Resolved. That the late attacks upon the Ash-Iftnd Vidotih the tlie old enemies of the constitution and the I nion, are evioeuce that that iar i on the right trait, and worthy the snppori of the Demacraey of Ashiand county. The Circleville Watchman, speaking of Gen. Butler, says: Why doiCt the men of Xew Orleans shoot the infamous wretch Hit they would a reptile or a dog The Crawford county Forum eaya of the present administration It has put aintf in the hands of outlaws, hiene, murdereis, and traitors. Such are the views and sentiments of the organs supported and controlled by the so-called Ohio Democracy of ISG'3.

Can any man, with a spark of the Democratic fire that warmed the heart of a Jackson in the former southern rebellion, he deceived by downright treason like that Instructions to Offlevrs Relative to Loyal ttlacliH. On the 4th a resolution was adopted by the Senate, calling upon the President to communicate the instruciionsto commauding officers in pursuance of the acts of last uly, setting free the slp.ves who have been employed, vtllli tli Vouscut or their maulers. against the government and laws of the United States, and to 6tate what steps have been taken to make the statutes effective. The follow ing is a synopsis of the voluminous documents transmitted in response to the call The Secretary of War writes to Brigadier General Saxton, under date of directing him to assume the charge, in the department of the South, of all plantations deserted by their owners with the iukabitants thereof, with authority to make such rules for the cultivation of the land and the control and employ ment of the people as circumstances may require. He is authorized to assume police duties over them is guaranteed ample protection from the major general commanding: is allowed such rations as may be suitable for those in want is furnished with medical and ordnance Etores, and is independent of any authority except that of the commanding general.

The Secretary says It is expected that by encouraging industry and skill in the cnl'ivation of the necessaries of life, and gc-Leial self improvement, yon will, as ir as possible, promote the well beim; of all people untler your urisdiction." Gen. Butler, writing from the department of Virginia, May 2, lStii, said he was perplexed with a new dillieuby. He had negro property to the amount of a portion of them women and children, not able bodied la-boiers. He passed to creditall labor performed, and charged goods and rations furnished them. He says Asa military question, it would seem to be a measure of cect 8r-ity to deprive their masters of their services as a "political question and a question of humanity, can I receive the services of a father and a mother aud not take the children of the humanitarian aspect (1 have no doubt of the political one) I have no right to judge." Secretary Cameron, May 30, 1S01, writes to Gen.

Butltr that his action is approved. August he writes atain, saying that it was the detire of the President that all existing -rights in loval States should be preserved; but thit in States wholly or partially under insurrectionary control, these right 6 must necessarily come under military authority that all sUves should be received, and no claim be alio ed to disloyal owners for the service of the slaves. Under date of September 20,1861, the Secretary of ar directs Gen. Wool to send contrabands to Gen. McClellan, aud ou the 2iad, orders them to be returned for service on the Southern cosst.

October 5, he directs 1,000 of them to be prepared accompany Gen. Sherman. Assistant Secretary Scott writes to Gen. Sherman, Oct 14, to employ fugitives in such st rviees as they may be fitted lor, either as oidinary employes, or if special circumstances seem to require it, iu squads, companies or otherwise, as you may deem beneficial to the etrvice; this, bowevtr, not being a general aiming of them for military services." Mijor-Gen. Wool writes from Fortress Monroe, Nov.

25, inquiring about the pay of contrabands. He says some of the officers paid on account of the government J0 for laborers. He allowed $10 and subsistence, Mid wished to reduce all to that price. Tne Secretary communicated his approval. Gen.

Phelps writes from Camp Parapet to to Mr. Carrolton ot Louisiana, giving particulars of the sending of slaves, bag and baggage, to tis line by Mr. Babilliard-Le Branch who tells him that the Yankees are king here now, and that they must go to their king for food and shelter. He enlarges upon ttziT peculiar condition; comments on the utter failure of tbe government to recognize their rghts; discusses the elements of insurrection txifting in refers to the effect of the slave labor system on society there considers the question of emancipation, intimates that compromise will hereafte be made with labor, and not with favors the policy of immeciate abolition, and closes with a statement of the wants of the fugitives before his lines, asking instructions. He says the new article of war is the first support he has yet had from the Government.

He thinks Mr. Branch, who professes to be loyal, recognizes the emancipation as an inipenamg tact. Gen. Butler, June It, gives further details of the above case, and asks for instructions. The Secretary of War, July 3, writes to Gen.

Bu'l-r: "He (the president! is of the opinion that, under tbe law of Congress, they cannot be sent back toibeir master; that in common bumanit they niDft not be permitted to suffer for want of food, stelter, or other necessaries of Ufa; that to this end they should be provided for by the quarter-roRster aud commissary departments. ai.d that those who are capable of labor should be set to woik. at paid reasonable wages. The president, iLdicating this, dot no- assume to settle auy general rule at present with regard to the slaves." Slave organization. Very much has been said by the press and the public in nference to the assertion of the author of "Among the Pines," that there exists among the Southern blacks a secret and wide-spread organization which has able leaders, and whose" ultimate object is freedom.

1 his statement, though generally credited, ha been questioned by certain Northern secession journals. We are authorized by the writer of that book to say that he has given in "Among the Pines," but a tithe of the whole truth in his possession in regard to that organization. That while he has in that work introduced only a tingle leader, he bas personal knowledge of over twenty, and has the names and residence of over 600, who can control, at the tap of a dnim, 1(0 000 able-bodied fighting mem The names of these leaders, and all the particulars in regard tbat organization, he is at liberty to communicate (they having been conf ded to him for that purpose) to the gov-t rnment, whenever it prepared to resort in qutlliBg this rebellion to all the mpans-that are justified by civilized warfare.
