D. Burke, by a mob, at that place, on the 19th for alleged incendiarism. The fact has already been briefly reported by telegraph. FLANS or the treasury department.

It is understood that the Secretary of the Treasury estimates the total expenses of the government for the current year at about $300,000,000. Of this amount it is estimated that $90,000,000 will he required for the ordinary expenses and for the payment of interest on loans. Various plans have been under consideration by Gov. Chase for meeting the IVU LANCASTER, PA. WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1861.

Summary of War News and Incidents. I THE HEW C0NGRE3S. Classified List of Members Of the Thirty-Seventh Congress. We give below a list of the members of the Thirty-Seventh Congress who will take their seats at the Extra Session on the Fourth of July omitting the seceding States, which will not be represented. It appears that on the 7th of June three large extraordinary demands upon the treasury.

There was no doubt but that she was taken forcible possession of by parties who came passengers in her from Baltimore, aided by a force from Virginia, though it is not known that she had on board any suspicious persons when she left Baltimore. Such however may have been the case unknown to her officers. Nothing has been heard of her since. I will add that, after an interview with you and your chief clerk, a week ago, I took passage "on her, on Tuesday last, for Baltimore, for the purpose of concerting with Capt.

Ward as to the most efficient mode of preventing the landing on the Maryland shore articles intended for transportation across the river into rginia, and at the same time avoiding any unnecessary detention to her. The arrangement we was made mutually satisfactory, and he promised to meet her every Saturday morning at the mouth of the river and give her a pass to proceed on her trip. But, alas he is no more. Doubtless evil disposed persons took advantage of the absence of a government officer and made the seizure. As the lives and property of loyal citizens of Alexandria aed the District of Columbia are hazarded by her detention, may I ask that measures may at once bo taken for her recapture.

Charles Worthington. Further Particulars. Capt. Hollins, the Leader Three Vesstls Cap lured by the Pirates. The seizure of the steamer Saint Nicholas proves to have been a bold piratical expedition.

When the steamer left on Friday evening, she bad on board abont fifty secession passengers, most of whom were disguised as mechanics going to points on the Maryland shore of the Potomac. Among the number, was Captain Hollins, late of the U. S. ship Susquehanna, who was disguised, some accounts gay, as a woman, and that he retired to his berth immediately on going on board the steamer. After the boat had left Point Lookout, Captain Hollins threw off his disguise aDd with the aid of the passengers seized tho boat, which was immediately put across to Cone River, on the Virginia side.

Here the rest of the passengers, not a party to the plot, were landed, including tho captain of the boat, who was placed under a guard. The steamer then went on a piratical cruise toward the Rappahannock river, capturing three vessels on the way, laden with ice, coal and coffee, with all of which Capt. Hollins made his way to Fredericksburg. The secession papers here publish accounts of this thieving affair calling it a brilliant exploit. The accounts say that some 200 rebel troops were placed on board at Cone.

I howitzer, a musket shot from the rebels Btrttck I him in the stomach, and instantly killed him. The Freeborn continued the fire with shells, dispersing the rebels and driving them back to the Covert of the works. The Pawnee and Resolute were present during the engagement. The body of Captain Ward, who was a gal-I lant and faithful officer, was taken to New I York for interment. Several fresh arrests for treason have been made at Commerce, Missouri, but the prisoners were released on taking the oath of allegiance.

At Cape Girardeau a member of the State Legislature has been arrested. Mr. Skiff, of Covington, is indicted for treason, the overt act being the shipment of provisions to the South. When he was arrested, his correspondence was seized, and from that it appears that he sent large quantities of bacon and butter to a distinguished citizen of Memphis, formerly of Kentucky, but that the distinguished citizen, acknowledging the consignments, very coolly declared that he wouldnt pay for them at any rate not until after the war. So poor Skiff was swindled in one confederacy and is likely to be hung in the other.

A secret agent of the rebels has been arrested and imprisoned at Washington. He applied to the Secretary of State for his signature to a British passport which he bore, upon which he intended going to Europe to purchase arms, A dispatch from Grafton, dated the 27th, says, that Corporal Hayes and twelve men belonging to Col. Wallaces regiment of Zouaves, while scouting on Pattersons creek, 12 miles east of Cumberland, on Tuesday night, encountered a party of rebels numbering about forty. A sharp engagement ensued. Seventeen of the enemy are reported killed and a number wounded.

One of Hayes party was killed and himself badly wounded. They captured a number of horses. The rebel force at Buchanan is reported to have been increased to 4000. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, will present to Congress hills legalizing the action of the Executive both iu regard to the volunteers and the increase of the regular army, to retire infirm and disabled army officers, to organize 100 regiments of volunteers as a national guard, to be clothed and armed alike, to increase the number of cadets to 68, The Missouri rebels are mustering in their strength on the Arkansas border, but General Lyon is preparing at Booneville for an attack upon them, and the forces at Cairo make expeditions into Southern Missouri to keep the region clear. 1 There are now in and about Baltimore about 6000 U.

S. troops. New York and Brooklyn cities have together mustered 32,125 troops. The abominable rebel Legislature of Maryland has adjourned to the 30th of July. The pickets of Col.

Stones army have been extended up the Potomae until they reach those of General Pattersons corps. It is understood that the movements of the forces under Cadwalader and Patterson are restrained and regulated by General Scott. It appears that the orders to Col. Brown, in command at Fort Pickens, direct him to remain upon the defensive. John Rose, principal chief of the Cherokees, has issued a sensible proclamation urging his people to be true to their treaties with the Union and to take no part in the war.

The Arkansas rebel leaders are greatly disappointed at this. The Prize ship Amelia is at the navy-yard, in Philadelphia. Her cargo consists of iron crates, camp ovens and equipage, and machinery. The vessel is valued at $12,000 and the cargo at $50,000. It is supposed the arms are concealed in the crates.

Lieut. Bentley, prize master, formally delivered the prize into the custody of Judge Cadwalder. A prize commissioner will be appointed in a few days. Senator Lane, of Kansas, has received his commission as Brigadier General, and James Montgomery a commission as colonel in his brigade. Gen.

Lane has sent out to Kansas a proclamation calling the people to arms and an officer to organize his brigade. He will occupy his seat in the Senate during the extra session, and take the field about the 20th of July. There are in Norfolk 2000 rebel troops, Portsmouth 1500, and outsido of both 2500 making in all 6000 men. Refugees from Virginia report the reign of terror there as fearful. Governor Letcher is completely overruled by Jeff.

Davis and Beauregard, and his patriotism is suspected by many of the rebels. General McClellan reports his interview with General Buckner as purely personal, not official, and says that he made no stipulations whatever in regard to Kentucky. General Buckners promise to drive out the rebel troops was voluntary. captured two rebel privates near Fairfax Court House. They belonged to a Virginja company oalled theRadfoid RaDgers.

There were four in the party, lying in ambush when discovered. Two of them Suoceded in making their esoape. Those captured were brought Into city, and lodged in jail to await examination. A Skirmish ia Western Virginia. The Rebels Routed with Severe Loss.

A skiimish took place at Bowners, twelve miles from Cheat river bridge, on Friday, between portions of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Ohio and First Virginia Regiments, and a company of rebel cavalry. The former were sent to ptotect the pells, and the latter mistaken their number attacked them, and were routed with the loss of several men, among them the lieutenant of the company. Several horses were captnred. The only loss on oar side is N. Smith of the Fifteenth regiment, who was buried at Grafton on Saturday.

From Fortress Monroe. The celebrated steam gun arrived at Fort Monroe on Sunday night, and Professor Lowe, with his monstrous balloon was hourly expeoted. The balloon is intended to reconnoitre the positions of the rebels. Mr. Carnegil, assistant of Thomas A.

Scott, had arrived from Washington, to superintend the erection of the proposed railroad and telegraph. It was originally intended to connect Fortress Mouroe with Newport News by means of a submarine cable, but the line will extend overland via Hampton, and be in operation iu a week. The railroad will be built to facilitate the transportation of storss at the Fortress to Hampton, and ultimately it may be hoped to Yorktown. The gun boat Mount Vernon has arrived at Newport News, with two deserters from the rebels, and two prisoners, all belonging to Lousiana Zouaves. The former came into the camp at Newport News yesterday morn, iug.

They are intelligent Germans, and state that having been impressed into tbe service they escaped on the fi st opportunity. Most of the company to which they belong serve unwillingly. Their uniforms so closely resemble those of Duryeas Zouaves that the deserters came into camp without being stopped by the guard. The other two were taken prisoners about five and were stragglers from a scouting party of 200, within three miles of Newport News. The four agree in the statement that an attack upon Newport News was intended on Friiay night, and only prevented by tbe incessant rain.

About 4500, including a strong body cavalry, with some 12 pieces of artillery, ad vanc.d from Yorktown, where there are over 12,000 troops from Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. The cavalry is made up of the elite of Virginia, and exceedingly well mounted. The1 infantry are not well equipped, and provisions are scarce at Yorktown. The two prisoners were originally from New York and Boston. tratiou upon himself for his out-spoken treason, but the belief that overt act and midnight incendiarism had actually been wrought out of his traitorous leanings was too much, and the spark touched gunpowder.

The examination was quietly concluded. Burke was held to bail, and was passing along the street in custody of officers, when a sudden rush was made by excited citizens, feebly resisted by the offi- cers, for the attack was resistless. The terrified prisoner saw in the eyes of the men abont him that his fate had come, and begged hard against it, but unavailingly. He was hurried through the streets, and into a large brick building about two hundred feet north of railroad track, and carried into the third story. He was bound fast, a rope, attached firmly to a beam within, was tied about his neck and then the unfortunate wretch was pushed through the window.

It was short shrift and sure cord, the wretched man falling 16 feet, was instantly killed, the neck be- ing dislocated by the shock. A few struggles excited crowd and all was over, and the changes in the present tariff, for purposes of revenue. It is proposed to pledge by law the proceeds of this special tax on objects of luxury to the creditors of the government, for the payment of interest on its obligations. It is estimated that the revenue arising from the special tax, and other sources, will be which will cover all the ordinary expenses of government, and provide for the payment of the interest on loans. These determinations have been arrived at after careful considerations and consultations with eminent financiers and capitalists, whose entire confidence and cordial co-operation Gov.

Chase has. No apprehensions are felt, either amoDg the immediate political friends of the Administration, or among the capitalists who have been in consultation with him as to his ability to provide means not only to carry the country successfully, but triumphantly and without embarrassment, through the crisis which has been precipitated upon it. There will be no faltering in the energetic prosecution of the measures whioh have been initiated the New Congress. The Thirty-Seventh Congress which tnects to-morrow, will justly attract great attention, from its personal construction, the time at which it assembles, and the grave duties which will be imposed upon it. It is unprecedented in its construction.

It will have no representation in the House from ten States. Even Virginia will send but three or four Representatives, and they will go in spite of their nominal State authorities, -who have been set aside by a new movement of the people. Tennessee, although she has seceded, will have one bold champion in the Senate, Hon. Andrew Johnson. It is yet uncertain whether the Senators from Kentucky and Missouri, who are committed to the secessionists, will take their seats.

The personal changes are great. Douglas no more enlivens the Senate chamber with his powerful presence. A new man from California replaces Gwin, and the State of Kansas for the first time- will have a voice in that hall. The veteran Crittendon is transferred to the other Chamber, where Corwin and Charles Francis Adams, and Burlingame and Henry Winter Davis and other prominent leaders give way for new men. The general duties of the session are obvious.

It is to be a war session. Summoned on the anniversary of our national independence, ex pressly for the purpose of providing the ways and means of suppressing a combination against the laws too powerful for the ordinary course of justice, and meeting at an uncomfortable season of the year, it is not to be expected that general legislation will receive any attention. We hope, also, that long speeches will be equally avoided. The President and the heads of Departments will undoubtedly convey the condition and wants of the country in clear and definite language and all that will be wanted on the part of Congress will be due consideration, mutual conference, and then prompt action. We need not now refer to the specific measures which may be necessary, as the requisite information on that point will soon be before the public.

The country, unprecedentedly unanimous in support of the Administration, expects Congress to manifest the same spirit, and to afford all proper cooperation toward the suppression of treason and the restoration of order and law. But it is known that some half a dozen of the members of the new Congress are determined to resist the measures of the Administration, and to submit propositions which the people of the loyal states cannot and will not sanction. It is estimated that these men cannot, under any circumstances, command a strength of more than eighteen or twenty in both Houses. We do not see why this little party of malcontents should excite any concern, or should in any manner affect the course of legislation. We certainly hope that one proposed method of counteracting their influence viz the transacting most of the business in secret session will not be adopted.

Let us have no imitation of the Montgomery style of legislation. In carrying on the war, secresy is necessary and proper, but iu making laws and ordaining measures for the people, everything had better be open and above board. The people will be better satisfied, and the influence both at home and abroad will he better. As for the vaporings of a few discontented sympathizers with secession, they are of no sort of consequence whatever. MARSHAL KANES ARREST.

The prompt action of Gen. Banks in arresting Marshal Kane of Baltimore is likely to bring things to a focus in that doubtful city. It is certainly high time that the country knew whet he a secession plots are actually go ing forward with the connivance of the legal authorities, so that in ease Beauregard Should make a dash toward Washington an armed insurrection would make its appearance in Baltimore and afford a chance for rear movements upon the capital. Numerous signs of such a conspiracy have long been apparent. IOWA.

It is now manifest that the recent mass of compromise rumors did not originate with the rebel leaders.

It is equally plain that neither President Lincoln, nor any member of his Cabinet, had anything to do with such dishon. orable business. The whole thing was probably thrown out as a feeler of the public sentiment at this time, when the absence of active military operations and the near approach of the extra session of Congress give a peculiar opportunity for the consideration of such schemes and for the return of the popular verdict. The only question is, whether the rumors referred to were started by those who, anticipating the result, desired to strengthen the hands of the Government, or by those who meant to make secession capital out of the experiment, by preparing the public mind for propositions which were to be submitted in Congress, by discovering how much strength they could command, and by, at all events, reviving dissentions and divisions at the north. There is every reason to believe that the rumors had their origin among the latter class.

But whoever really put forth this feeler, it must be admitted that it has done its work and that the response is most unequivocal. From the extreme east to the extreme west, from the northern boundaries to the southern limit of free speech in east Tennessee and on the edge of North Carolina, there comes but one answer, and that in favor of treating rebels as rebels, till they drop that character in renewed allegiance to their Government. TTe say but one answer, because the avowals to the contrary of a Yallandigham, or a Ben. Wood, and the cautious murmurs, here and there, of journals which can never throw off a More Rebels captnred in Missouri. Nine men, ten kegs of powder, and a small quantity of arms, were captured by a company of Federal troops near Chillicothe, on the Hannibal and St.

Joseph railroad. The men meditated the destruction of the railroad bridge in that vicinity, but their design was frustrated. The men are now held as prisoners. W. R.

Stebbius, general agent of the Missouri and Western Telegraph line, arrived from a trip on the plains. The various trains sent out by the telegraph company are progressing satisfactorily. The first two hundred miles section beyond Fort Kearney is being constructed rapidly. The advance train of tho Pacific Company are probably by this time very near Fort Kearney. Mr.

Stebbins reports having met some two hundred emigrant wagons bound for California, and five hundred going to Pikes Peak, many of the latter being freight wagons. The California overland emigration is much larger than it has been any year since The Overland Mail Company have doubled their stations, which are now not more than twelve to fifteen miles apart, and are prepared to make scfiedule time. Mj Stebbins also reports having met two hundred wagons of Mormons, and that there are about three thousand Mormons still at Florence, the Mormon town just above Omaha, and a good many are yet to concentrate there. It is confidently expected that the telegraph line will ba completed to California by the 1st of December next. thus discourses but we have had from the begining no fears but that Scott would be spared in the fullness of his unequalled powers until the controversy between Loyality and Treason has been settled.

It seemed patent to me that the glorious old chieftan could not be called away until his work was ended; that one more act the noblest, sublimest of all was yet to be achieved and that the order to march hence would come only when the conflict was ended and the victory won. It cannot be that he who has been so long, her pride and stay will he sutfered to close his eyes for the last time upon a country convulsed by strife and rent by civil war. We prefer to believe that a kinder fate awaits him that he will live to be crowned with a still brighter halo of glory live to be blessed by the millions whose liberties he has snatched from death. Glorious old man With what heroic front he meets the issue With what a calm constancy he works out the great problem of the campaign With what enduring patience he weaves the web of strategy, and with what consummatecjunning ho involves his victims in its meshes With what untiring vigor does he toil at his great task with what sublime forgetfulness of self does he dedicate the strength of his decaying days to his country If the task is completed if the mission is fulfilled if he shall go down to his grave blessed by a peaceful and united country who of all the men who have adorned our history will be so worthy to repose beside the the hallowed dust of Washington?

Trouble in Ealtimore. On Thusday last, General Banks, commanding the U. S. forces in Maryland, arrested the Police Marshal of Baltimore, George P. Kane, for treason, and appointed in his stead, as military Provost Marshal, Colonel Kenly, who has taken charge of the police of the city.

It appears that Kane has all along been in secret league with the rebels, an4 was still preparing for a sudden outbreak. The following is the proclamation of General Banks: Headquarters of Departmt of Annapolis, 1 June 27, 1861. By virtue of the authority vested in me, and in obedience of orders as Commanding General of the Military Department of Annapolis, I have arrested and do now detain in custody Mr. George P. Kane, Chief of Police of the city of Baltimore.

I deem it proper, at this the moment of arrest, to make a formal and public declaration of the motive by which I have been governed in this proceeding. It is not my purpose, neither is it in consonance with my instructions, to interfere in any manner whatever with the legitimate government of the people of Baltimore or Maryland. I desire to support the public authorities in all appropriate duties iu preserving the peace, protecting the property, iu obeying and enforcing every municipal regulation and public statute, consistent with the constitution and laws of the United States and Maryland. But unlawful combinations of men organized for resistance to such laws, to provide bidden deposits of arms and ammunition, to encourage contraband traffic with men at war with the government, and who, while enjoying its protection and privileges, stealthily wait an opportunity to combine their means and forces with those in rebellion against its authority, are not among the recognized or legal rights of any class of men, and cannot be permitted under any form of government. Such combinations are well known to exist in this department, and the mass of the citi- 8.

KENTUCKY. From 'Washington. It has been ascertained, from an official source, that about 200,000 stand of arms have already been issued by the War Department, leaving half that amount at least still on hand, with others being constantly manufactueed. These arms are additional to those furnished by tha State authorities. None have been ordered from abroad through the Ordnance bureau, hence the recent importations must be on State or private account.

Dealers and inventors are daily offering to supply the government, which, however, prefers its own patterns of uniformity. There ia so lack of facilities, it will be seen, for arming all the troops that may be called into tbe field. There is an abundance of ordnance, ordnmee stores and other eugicery of warfare. The following military regulations concerning passports has just been issued, dated Headquarters of the Army, 1 Washington, July 1st, 1861. The General-in-Ghief, by permission of thw Executive, aononnees to all concerned, that hereafter no passport, by whomsoever signed or countersigned, will entitle any person to pass the lines of the United States army unless the same be also countersigned by himself, or he commander of a militarv geographical department.

This regulation will continue in force until further notice. Winfield Scott. By command, E. D. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant General.

A SPEECH FOR THE TIMES. Col. F. P. Blair, of St.

Louis, on his way to Washington, to take his seat in Congress, was serenaded by his friends in New York city, on Friday night, and made a very interesting speech. We quote from the report the following extracts It is a somewhat singular spectacle lo see the people making such ado over what has been done in Missouri. It is evident that the people are craving for action on the part of those who arc in the field. Of all the speeches I have heard, the speakers proclaim that this was not a time for talk but for acting. Yet we have no acdon-except what little will be called so that we hnve had in Missouri.

Everybody has said, and I believe we have, the greatest general of the age to fight our battles Gen. Scott. Cheers. There is no question but that he has the best soldiers in the world, and it is a matter of suprise that with such a great general, such fine soldiers, and so many of them, that we have done nothing. But 1 presume that it is all right, because the correspondents of newspapers repeat that assertion to us every day.

And yet the feeling of impatience is a natural one. The country is really suffering that something has not been done that this rebellion is allowed to rear its crest and flourish within sight of our capital. I have heard persons who are disposed to be critical say that it was probably intended to force a compromise by keeping those 100,000 bayonets within one days march of the capital, where Congress is to sit, calculating that men under such circumstances will be more disposed to compromise away this question. I cannot believe there is any truth in this suspicion or surmise. I have the very best reasons for believing that the Government will consent to nothing of the sort.

But the Gen-eral-in-chief has good reasons for the delay at which we are all so impatient. Applause. The result will vindicate his generalship. If, however, it consists with good generalship to bring on a contest and settle this matter at once, if prompt action would meet with success at this time, I have no hesitation in saying that it would do vast good to the country. Cheers.

Its business interests, and those of the city of New York, are suffering immensely by the suspense. Our success in Missouri is in my opinion attributable to the promptitude and vigor of the movements of Gen. Lyon, an officer who was distinguished for his courage and his conduct in the Mexican war, and iu the frontier war since that time who has won during the present disturbances the most enviable reputation, and deserving the honors which the Administration have given him. Many people think him deserving still higher honors, which I hope the Administration have in reserve for him but I have not noticed his name as being promoted iu the regular army certainly not by the side of" Emorys name. I cannot believe that this is an oversight on the part of the Administration.

I am induced to think that they have in reserve for him some higher reward. Cheers. 10. John Ktlling.r 1. HenryC tiiLmett (StEte-l H.

But a letter in one of the Philadelphia journals from a soldier who participated in the arrest, says that the distinguished gentleman tried to escape by his back yard, which the messengers of General Banks had wisely secured beforehand. It may be urged that he was only seeking the quickest route to Fort McHenry. The same ingenuity, also, will be needed to explain away the necessity of the warlike magazine over which the Marshal appears to have been incubating in the ordinary discharge of his daily duties. Does a city Marshal usually need to have stored away among the coal in his cellar 250 muskets, 400 weight of balls, 800 rifle ball cartridges, The term of service of one of the South Carolina regiments in Beauregards advance corps is out, and it is said they are not anxious to re-enlist, but they will hardly refuse in the presence of an enemy.

Lieut. Hamilton H. Dutton, of Mississippi) having tendered his resignation, has been dismissed from the navy of the United States, Seventeen men have deserted from the Naval Brigade, at Fortress Monroe, and are i manning the guns at Sewalls Point. Another skirmish occurred at Seneca, on Friday morning, between Colonel Everetts batallion of District volunteers and the enemy, supposed to number 200, A flag was raised by the rebels during the fight, but was soon hauled down or shot down. Two or three are suppoosedto have been killed on the rebels side, and a number wounded.

Three soldiers of the Fourth Penusylvania regiment, stationed on Shooters Hill, as pick-ets, were attacked four miles from Alexandria, by a party of fourteen rebel scouts, who fired on them killing Thomas Murray, of Norristown and wounding a man from Blue Bell. The re-mainingtwo Pennsylvanians stood their ground manfully, fired ou the rebels, killed a sergeant of the Letcher Guard, and the rest fled. Reinforcements arriving, pursued the rebels, who threw away their arms to escape. Governor Morgan hag issued a proclamation forbidding any more regiments of volunteers to be raised in New York State for the present, as the cost of troops, including the contributions by the State, by the city of New Y'ork and by other citities and towns and individuals, is estimated to have been about $10,000, 000. And all this without impairing in the least the credit of the State.

We perceive that some of tho Boston papers are complaining about gross cheating in the uniforms and equipments of their volunteers. New Y'ork ditto. So also Ohio. These, with our own, are the States of all others best able to fit out their men well. Col.

Dixon S. Miles, of Maryland, has been made a Brigadier General, and his name will be gazetted to that rank in the next list of promotions issued from the War Department. General Miles entered the army as a West Point graduate in July, 1824. His first commission was filled for a second lieutenancy of tho Fourth Infantry. He was raised to the highest regimental rank after thirty-five years of active service, which have not impaired his physical strength.

As a tactician the General is considered inferior to few of his companions in arms. He ia comparatively young and very active. Ninety-eight second lieutenants remain to be appointed in the twelve new regiments. It is intimated that these commissions are reserved for those who distinguish themselves the volunteer service. It is thought now that Major General Fremont will take command of the United States troops at Arlington.

In western Virginia the rebels have concentrated under Ex-Gov. Wise to the number of 5000, well armed, posted and supplied. Gen. McClellan has mustered about 7000 men, and is attempting to surround and capture them. For this purpose ho is posting his forces at Clarksburg, Cheat Mountain Gap, Philippi, and other places.

He proposes very active operations, as he is wanted at Harper's Ferry, and must protect his men before proceeding thither.

IV consider that fact settled; but if others do not, let them cultivate by any proper means a further acquaintance with the people. They will find that it has not been without a clear understanding of what it all means that tens of thousands of households have sent their dearest inmates to the field of battle, that money has been lavished and sacrificed beyond computation, that the blood of the soldiers at Baltimore, and of an Ellsworth, a Grebble and a IVinthrop have been the first offerings on an altar to be crimsoned with the best life of the country.

Everything has been taken into account the cost has been counted and there will be no faltering from the end in view. The price of our exertion and our risks, which is the transmission of the best government on earth to the countless millions who are entitled to the legacy, is worth every thing which we can he called upon to endure or to give up.

ter for a high functionary, an unexpected and brief inteview with a stranger, more admirably and willingly done. It was characteristic, for there was no ceremony about it; but while it was full of tact toward me, it was quite as full of simple dignity for himself. Though not courtly manner, it was what courtly manner tries to imitate a mien and presence too absolutely natural and direct for a Bruinmel to approve, but which would have been exceedingly admired by a Wellington or a Palmerston. It is impossible to look in Mr. Lincolns face, and hear him speak a few words without believing in him.

He looks as honest as he does tall and he is taller than most people while, in the absorbent openness of his frank eyes, and the ready intelligence of his features and expression, there is plenty of promise of capability. UNION DEMONSTRATION IN TEXAS. Fight between Unionists and Rebels Defeat of an armed force, hostile to its authority, and acting in concert with its avowed enemies. For this reason superseding his official authority, as well as that of the Commissioners of Police, I have arrested, and do now detain him in custody of the United States, and in further pursuance of my instructions I have appointed for the time being, Col. Kenly, of the First Maryland regiment of volunteers, Provost Marshal in and for the city of Baltimore, to superintend and cause to be executed the police laws provided by the Legislature of Maryland, with the aid and assistance of the subordinate officers of the police department, and he will bo respected accordingly.

Whenever a loyal citizen shall be otherwise named for tho performance of this duty, who will execute the laws impartially, and in good faith to the government of the United States, the military of this department will render to him that instant and willing obedience which is due from every good citizen to his government.

Louisville, July 1. Senator Breckinridge and Representative Burnett have left for Washington, and Senator Powell intends keeping his seat. Two companies of Col. Rosseaus regiment went into camp to-day near Jeffersonville, Indiana. The Owensbuvg, Shield (secessionist) reports the probable return of one of the Kentucky companies which went to Richmond, where they were not received, and have been supported at our expense.

By a special order of Major General Pillow, dated the 27th, it appears that he thinks it is now manifest from the pressure on the enemys resources iu the east and the belligerent attitude of Missouri, the enemy will not find himself in a position to make a descent on the valley this summer. A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal of the 29th, siys that Col. Hardee is to operate on the western bank of the Mississippi, in concert with the forces on this side. From the same paper it appears that the two million British loan is not yet consummated. It says that J.

A soldiers letter in a New York paper puts a series of interrogatories which convey a good deal of information in a few lines, as will be seen JWhat if your leathern pillow becomes hard, and your bones ache on your primitive bed? lVhat if the distant roar of musketry and artillery disturbs your dreams, and the long roll or startling bugle bring you to your feet a dozen times during the night, and ever and anon you fancy the enemy close at hand What if the unexpected shower trickles its great drops down your neck, and saturates your blanket as though it had fallen into the sea Is there not a delightful novelto in all this? Is there not a metropolitan public to be informed of alj the incidents in the march of a grand and loyal army THE SEAT OF WAR. One good result of the present war will be that the Northern people will he made better acquainted with the nature and resources of the Southern country, through the letters of the soldiers stationed there, which find their way North by thousands by every mail, while the correspondence of the newspaper press is a vehicle for spreading a great amount of valuable intelligence of this sort throughout the community. The country now occupied by our armies presents many attractions, not only from its natural beauty, but on account of its fertility and adaptation to agricultural purposes, and the information which is being disseminated in regard to it will, no doubt, induce a large emigration in that direction after the war is over. A letter from Falls Church, in the New York Post says: I have carefully explored the country round, going to the farthest advanced lines, and in sight of the enemys pickets. Everywhere it is a charming country, well watered, and evidently in easy cultivation.

Grain grows thriftily fruit is not abundaut hut good the grass crop is large and profitable. With free labor and Northern enterprise this may be made one of the most prolific and valuable agricultural districts in the Union. Similar reports are given of the portions of Maryland occupied by Northern troops. While the face of he country is very pleasing, the climate is pronounced exceedingly fine. This war may prove to be one of the greatest blessings to poor effete Virginia by infusing into the population new elements of vigor and enterprise.

Probable Attempt to Capture Forts Wise and Garland by the Secessionists. Fort Keirnev, June 29. We have reliable information from Denver City, as follows; Denver Citv, June 15. A Secession force set out from their rendezvous, twenty-five miles up Cherry Creek, to-day, for the avowed purpose of taking Forts Wise and Garland. They are well armed and equipped, and expect to gain admittance to the forts by stratagem, and then to be joined by a majority of the forces inside.

There is much valuable property and money in the forts. The movement is watched, but we are comparatively powerless, and without authority or The Feast of Doughnuts- The ladies of Augusta, ono day last week distributed over fifty bushels of doughnuts to the Third Volunteer Regiment of Maine. A procession of ladies, headed by music, passed between double lines of troops, who presented arms, and were afterwards drawn up in hollow squares to receive the welcome rfouyAnation. Never before was seen such an aggregate of doughnuts since the world began. Thecircum ambient air was redolent of doughnuts.

Every breeze sighed doughnuts everybody talked of doughnuts. The displny of doughnuts beggared description. There was the molasses doughnut and the sugar doughnut the long doughnut and the short doughnut the round doughnut and the square doughnut the rectangular doughnut and the triangular doughnut the single twisted doughnut and the double twisted doughnut the light riz doughnutand the hard-kneaded doughnut the straight solid doughnut and the circular doughnut, with hole in the centre. There were doughnuts of every imaginable kind, qualities, shapes and dimensions. It was emphatically a feast of doughnuts, if it was not a flow of soul.

From Missouri. Reliable information from Springfield says the Third regiment, Col. Siegel, and part of the Fifth, Col. Solomon, reached there on Sunday last, aud Col. Browns regiment, the 4th reserve corps, and a battalion of tho Fifth would arrive the next day.

Col. Siegels regiment started west to cut off Governor Jackson, who was last heard from at Stockton, with 2000 men only partially armed. The Kansas regiment has guarded all the outlets from Missouri, on the border of Kansas and the Indian territory, which with Col. Siegels outposts west from Springfield, will entirely hem Jackson in, and doubtless result in the capture of his whole force. J.

B. Knott, Attorney General of Missouri, is now a prisoner at the arsenal in St. Louis. The Democrats co-respondent says tbe Union Home Guard, at the battle of Cole Camp, on the 19th June, lost twenty killed or wounded, aud twenty-three taken prisoners. The prisoners were taken to Warsaw, and liberated on taking an oath not to bear arms against the Southern confederacy.

The Union force was five hundred men, and that of the secessionists one hundred mounted men and two hundred iafantry. The loss of tho secessionists is reported to have been thirty-two. Judge Liery, seventy-two years old, a strong Union man and a slaveholder, wa3 tied to a tree by some of Jacksons men and his body literally riddled with bullets. A report reached Independence on Tuesday that the Missouri State troops 10,000 strong, had crossed the Marais dcs Cygues, a branch of the Osage river, 100 miles south of that place, and had encamped, and intended to make a stand there. The U.

S. troops were 20 miles in the rear, numbering 2000 to 3000. They had also encamped, and it was thought were awaiting reinforcements- The State forces were inci easing their number. This information is derived from a gentleman just from the State camp, who also came through the Federal camp. More arrests in Baltimore.

On Monday morning after 2 oclock, de tachments of artillery and infantry had been sent to various sections of the city, and were finally posted in Monument square, Exchange place, aud in the Eighth ward, Broadway, and at other points. Before daylight all the members of the Board of Police except the Mayor, were arrested and sent to Fort McHenry. General Banks has issued the following proclamation Headquarters Department of Annapolis Fort McHenry, July 1. In pursuance of orders issue! from the headquarters of the army at Washington for the preservation of public peace iu this department, I have arrested and do now detain in the custody of the United States tha late members of the Board of Police, Messrs Chas. Howard, William Yatchell, Charles Ilinks and John W.

Davis. The incidents of the past week afford full justification for this order. The headquarters under the charge of the Board, when abandoned by the oifio.rs, resembled in some respects a concealed arse nal. After public recognition and protest against the suspension of their functions, they continued their sessions daily. Upon a forced and unwarrantable construction of my proclamation of the 28th ultimo, they declared that the police law wa3 suspended, and the police officers and men pnt off duty for the present, intending to leave the city without any police protection whatever.

They refused to recognize the officers and men necessarily selected by the Provost Marshall for its protection, and hold subject to their orders now and hereafter for the old police force, a large body of armed men, for some purpose nnknown to the Government, aud inconsistent with its peace or security. To anticipate any intentions or orders on their part I have placed temporarily a portion the force nnder my command within the city. I disclaim on the part of the government I represent all desire, intention, and purpose to interfere in any manner whatever with the ordinary municipal affairs of the city of Baltimore. Whenever a loyal citizen can be named who will execute its police laws with impartiality, and in good faith to the United States, the military force will be withdrawn from the central parts of the municipality at once. No soldiers will be permitted in the city, except under regulations satisfactory to the marshall and if any so admitted violate the municipal law they shall be punished by the civil law, by the cival tribunals.

Nathaniel P. Banks, Major General Commanding. Rebels Captured. On Sunday morning, a soonting party from the EighthNew York (on Arlington Heights) DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. To-morrow, being the Anniversary of American Liberty, we can render our readers no better service than laying before them the Declaration of Independence.

At this time, when a war for the preservation of the Union is going on when hundreds of thousands of brave men, at a moments call, have rushed to arms in obedience to the teachings of that declaration, it is meet and proper that the citizens of this great Republic should not forget the causes which led their forefathers to cut asunder the bonds which bound them to the mother country and, while contemplating the real grievances under which they labored, compare them with the feigned and groundless ones which are now made the pretext for the present unholy war upon the Constitution and the legally elected government under it. No man can rise from a perusal of the old Declaration without a higher hope and a sterner resolve to defend to the last the principles of that instrument, which, under the providence of God, led the people of a few feeble arrangement a wise have. yet address danger head one worthy you. is as North Kentucky, of the latter. The example set by the loyal citizens of western Virginia has already been followed iu Tennessee, and from present intelligence it appears that the Union men of Texas are preparing to follow suit.

In western Texas, as in western Virginia and eastern Tennessee, and the mountain district of North Carolina, the disunion epidemic has encountered insurmountable barriers. Information has been brought by Judge Shelby, a distinguished Union man, I just arrived from Texas, that a movement is on foot to separate western Texas from the rest of the State, and erect it into a Union State. It is settled largely by Germans, and the German press without exception, favor the measure. The Union party there, already strong, is rapidly increasing. Secret Union associations have been formed, and their influence is daily extending from county to county.

Gen. Carpen who has distinguished himself by his opposition to the rebellion, has been nominated as an unconditional candidate for the Congress of the United States. General Carpen has been for some time at the bead of a body of Union men iu western Texas, and it is reported of him that, with about two hundred mounted Union men, he recently routed more than twice that number of rebels. This movement in Texas, and the fact that the loyal citizens there, too, are arming to resist the usurpation of their State government, furnishes another evidence of the decadence of the South Carolina conspiracy. MR.

CRITTENDENS POSITION. AVe have received, says the Louisville Journal, from a distinguished friend of Mr. Crittenden at Frankfort, the following correction of one of the ten thousond idle but mischcvious rumors of the telegraph Frankfort, June 24. Gentlemen The statement under the telegraphic head of to-day in the papers, that Mr. Crittendon would offer his compromise, and, if not accepted, that he would advise Kentucky to secede, is without any authority whatever, It exists only in the imagination of the newspaper reporters.

Please correct it in the Journal. No person had any authority to make any such statement. The Atalanla Intelligencer thus calls for an everlasting and adamantine barrier between the North and the South The Chisese Wall and Masons and Dixons Line. It is a strange and significant fact that the great wall, erected in the North of China as the dividing line between that ancient Empire and the North of Eastern Europe, is on the same parallel of latitude fixed for Mason and Dixons line in America.

Thirty-five British subjects, after being maltreated and forced iuto the ranks, were rescued by the British Consul.

Murders are frequent, the slaves in a dangerous state, and a terrorism worse than that of the great French revolution existing everywhere. The Memphis banks have just loaned their own notes, amounting nominally to $195,000, for secession purposes. The Fourth of July is to bo kept in Georgia by the cotton planters, who will meet in convention at Macon, and then and there proclaim their eternal independence of northern financial and commercial domination. The Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer has heard it suggested that it is the intention of the confederate Congressmen and Cabinet officers to pay into the common treasury tho amount of their salaries during the war, and that the principal office holders who can afford it intend to receive only half of their salaries, paying the other half for the benefit of the volunteers. Praiseworthy and patriotic as the Intelligencer considers this, it is not yet satisfied, but suggests that every public servant in the employ of the confederate government should accept no more pay than is given to the privates in the volunteer regiments.

The Richmond, City Council has bought a mansion in that town for $50,000, for Jeff. Davis, as President of the southern confederacy. Fight at Mathias Point Captain Ward of the U. S. Navy Killed.

On Thursday last Captain YV'ard of the gun boat Freeborn heard that the rebels had a small encampment on Mathias Point, and that they had erected or intended to erect batteries there which would be very troublesome to the navigation of the river. Recon-noissances had been made of the point, and on two or three occasions the point had been shelled. Our government had concluded to take possession, and sent Captain YVard with the Freeborn, Pawnee and Resolute for that purpose. Arriving at the Point, Captain Ward landed twenty-five men in boats, who were directed to commence the immediate erection of a battery. After they had landed, they were rushed upon by two or three hundred rebels, who bad been concealed in adjoining thickets and woods.

These opened a heavy fire of musketry upon the handful of men, who fled to their boats. All of them were not able to get to the boats, but those who did, rowed off to the Freeborn. The rest leaped into the river, and awam out to the vessel. They were fired upon, and several were wounded. Captain Ward opened fire from the Freeborn on the rebels, and while he was aiming a CHOICE BITS FROM THE REBEL PRESS.

Tite following from the Memphis Appeal, of the 21st is a sample of the light in which we are represented by the Southern press. The desperate and sanguinary tone of the last paragraph is especially to be marked: The North lias stricken from the list of her virtues the name of liberty. She has made the genius of the goddess a caricature aud myth. In her desecrated name a nation of fanatics have committed deeds of baseness and outrage which make the faces of honest men mantle with shame. Beneath her prostituted tegis they have inaugurated the most drcadlul and savage horrors ever recorded, in the contemplation of which barbarities, unborn generations will stand appalled hereafter.

Bestial attrocities will be perpetrated, if they succeed, by self-styled Christians and perverted intelligence. It is almost impossible to contemplate the fact that such horrid and savage warfare as that which is threatened against tho South, could enter into the mind of the most revengeful enemy, or that the heartless bigots would endeavor to actuate their obedient fiends to the unparalleled ferocity marked out against us. Forced by tiie bayonet, the sabre and bullets, the South has sundered the ties of nationality. It is a notorious fact that the cowardly instigators of the war, at the North, deemed almost exclusively upon a meicenary army. In the pride and ptentitwde of power and wealth, they hire the flesh and blood machines they marshal against us.

They have mado a host of the offal, the scum, tbe hirelings of all lands, the refuse of every nation. They turn upon us their convicts, and the despicable of society.
