INDIANA TROOPS MARCIIINO INTO KENTUCKY. Tmm Sevehteehtm Main Bbmmmxt, Col. Beh-erts, which has been encamped at Camp King, situated Just outside of Portland, left that city at B.lfi this morning by the Main Bail road. The following is the roster of tho regiment: FIELD ASS CTAFr. Thomas A.

The impression, so far as it exists, th there is sufficient working zeal engaged io getting rocruts ia a mistake. Every one of the hundreds who desire no draft and who believe no draft will be necessary, is called upon to exert himself to make his wishes and belief a fact. It haa happened now, as it always happens in vuch cases, that up to a certain point things moved briskly, those ready to serve coming promptly forward; and this has given tbe idea that, little or no more exertion is required to fioiah up the jb. That idea is a mistake; and if the Commonwealth and iti Capital mean to seal their abate of the reiDforcemsnta of tbe army ia the field, and contribute their pro portion of the nine months men, without a resort to drafting, they must now, as time flies, be earnest, energetic aad thoroughly alive. Tbe men can he raised if the people are not deluded with the Idea that they ca be raised without strenuoua and combined effirt.

Tots is not tbe time for relaxing bat increasing exertion. If the present comparative apathy continues, the 31 of September will arrive and Bad Butoa lacking many hundreds of the number of mda she is bouud to send to the war. The Hoxkoks Exacted xx East Txxxaosaa. Tbe Baltimore American contains a thrilling appeal to the Government for aid for Esst Tennessee. The appeal cornea from residents at Cumberland Gap, and alleges that The rebels are now more active than ever before in the work of persecution, robbery aad murder.

Tbeir conscription law respects no political opinions. Union men are forced tuto the ranks of tbeir army, or in refusing to serve, are shot or bang. Anv expression ot opinion on tbt-ir pert is treated as a crime. The uesr crop of wheat, lately harvested, is being threshed ny men pressed lure the service for that purpose, hauled (O the railroad or to tbe mills by pressed teams, and carried out of tbe country as rapidly as possible, and the owners, if loyal men, era left wiinout tbe least hope of coniDeusadon The last bushel of corn and tbe Ut pound of meat are often taken from Union families, who are thus reduced at once to the verge of starvation- The Auiencan says the account reveals the old and heartbreaking mirrors whcn have made oa of the loveliest sud richest sections of the laud a centre of suffering sucu as should cause the loyal Slates to rise en masse fur tbe purp ia of re-cnin the suff-rera What General with hm fine army can be doing all this time, and aucli appeals coming up to the loyal of the laud, we ere ft to coqjecture So far as we can au-ler-rand it, he is miing away bis time to no purpose at all in the rot-kv gorges and Darrens of tue range of bills acjoining Chattanooga, whilst the nbole country unove him sending form a prolonged cry ot apguiKb which should melt hearts of stone. We have never taken upon ourselves tbe rede of newspaper General-; but we feel called upon, in comaion wim ail the loyal of the lan-l, to urge upon the Commaiider-in-Chicf the ca-ie of this poor and oppressed and murdered people.

How long wdl Justice sleep, while such horrors are enacted? How much lunger is loyalty to survive such a tearful pressure? Ax Extra Sebsiox or the Rhode Islaxd LlgislaTUKs Gov. Spragues proclamation convening tbe Legislature on Monday next, gives tbe annexed reasons for tbe measure: Whereas, the large bounties given by tbe several cities and towns in this State for vnluoteers for tne purpose of obviating a draft, is producing dissatisfaction among tbe troops now in tbe field; ar-d whereas, this system of overbidding by escn town in its baste to relieve ltelf from a draft is a most pernicious erne, aod is (Testing a large debt which is unequally divided among rh-t people of the S'aie, wDcn tbe cause for which it is incurred is that of all its cinz-os, for the preservation of their common country; and whereas, au nndit-s haute has also been mani tested by some of our people to rencer themselves exempt under the law from doing military duty Under there nrcumtance, and to take such measures as may be thought most proper in the emergency, to comply with tbe call of tbe dent to ornisb onr quota of troopr, I have deemed It my du'y to convene tbe General Assembly at a time not provided by lew. Martiros for RbcriiITIRO. Tj the Editor of the T-anecripi: It has been proposed that we hare a general rattg throughout the S'are, every afternoon next week, for the purpose of aiding tbe recruiting business, and sre thiuk the sagg-x-tion a good one, and hope to see it carried out; bnt. In order for it to be done, Srata, tore, and city authorities mast move ia the matter at once.

Clergymen can aid the cause much, by calling their congregations together every afternoon or evening, and addressing them upon the war. We believe they can help ns along much, aod hope they will do so. Let every mm put his shoulder to the wheel, and Massachusatta will Oe all right on tbe first of September. Recncir. Gexeral Phelps.

A Cptsfa in one of the Connecticut regiments, stitionel at Near Orleans, writes of this General in tue following terms: I bare met Gtnersl Pb-dps but once. it that one interview was deeply interesting. Ha is crazv no nrora than Paul was when he was aerated of madness. Ue is a nubia specimen of a true man. lie has a tnousand fugitives nn m-u at Carrollrou, eight inl' from Nee tbs greater number of wQom are able bodied msa, and are nuder military drill.

Northboro has completed its enrolment, wbi includes the namss of one hundred and tweny-ooe men, between the ages ot 18 and 45. liable to military duty.

Of these, sixty-nine are now in the service, an-1 fiftywo out of service. What other town in the New England or Middle States can show sueh a record as that? Tbe unally large Rennblicaa vote of Northboro will probably be sensibly diniioisbed by this exodus of the male population of toe place. Col. Corcokax Ixtitkd to Visit Bostox A deputation of the energetic committee of Ward Four will immediately proceed to New York city, for the purpose of inviuag this noble Irish offi-wr to visit aod address the citizens of Boston. No man conld probably exert a greater influence for the cause, at the present time, in Boston, than the gallant CoL Corcoran.

Two Regimexts to Lsava UassaCHCsarTS. The Tnirty-fifro regiment, CjI. Will, at Lynn-field, have received tbeir marching orders, and a ill leave Camp Stanton tomorrow forenoon at eleven oclock, coming to this city over the Boston and Maine Railroad. The Thirty-eighth regiment will leave Sunday. Camp Staxtox.

This camp is at present under the charge of Col. Ingraham, of she regi rnent. Farts of several other regiment are encamped there, and steps hare been taken fur the organization of the furtyjfrtt Massachusetts regiment. The Steamship Ersor. Captain Mtodie, from LiveipoolO.h, Queenstown lOta, and Halifax 20h arrived at this port at noon today.

Her news has been published. The Sixth Kegimext will go into camp Lowell, today, numbering seven hundred men -Eire months volunteers. LFrom Oar Special Corrrrpmui-nt. Wamunotvx, August 13, lyi2-Another fUirty.f paid their re-pcet to tel. urcoran today.

They deploy cd ujHin loiRiemh vtn ct, tendered the customary salute, ulU repeated the cheers of yesterday. Col. C. made fcw re-marks, and Col. Weils a telling specth kicli bid credit it-J honor to old Maie-acho-setts.

1 he greatest enthuria-m prevaiiei, sud the appearance of our troops was again the mlje-ct of tnnnmL The Thirty-fourth ilto pas overiuto Virginia, and other IVnn-yJrtaia truope preceded siiii lolkiwcd them. Troop re arriving every day, and all will he needed for the tppmscldng contest, as it is ULderstood Lere that the whole rebel fores ha advanced frem Kichmcud to meet Gen. Iufw, and i rhap even row a hat tie ragio. It will not he out of order to state that matters are generally reyarded Le-e as haring reached the turn-lug that erect aoou to transpire, and per-hi movement already transpiring, are looked forward to with more than usual Interest and Mlicitude. In there days acd hour big with eveuL, it nil prove mure than gratifying to all to know that the Government are exceedingly hopeful, much more so than a moctb ago, and very sanguine as to the ultimate mult, l'rophecjr aside, the prospect certainly look brighter, and there is much of hope to cheer and strengthen confidence.

It is understood that assurance of the friendly feeling and kind wishes of the Spanish Government have been recently received by the IVeiideut. Similar txprtniont have been made by France and England, bat private adrieea seem to give a different color to these representations, as they state that the dismemberment of this couutiy is regarded as certain, and tbe recognition of the Southern Confederacy ia confidently predicted. Without intending anything prejudicial to the supposed friendly feeling of either of there countries. It ia beat not to place too much fkith In the representations of their respective governments, nor to be misled by the so-called and oft repeated expression of popular feelings by Englishmen or Frenchmen. Meanwhile tbe march fer freedom Is onward, and moreover, in the right direction.

There is more that is cheering than has been beard for many a day. Slowly but steadily the hand is moving around tbe dial plate and is even now nearer the long looked fer hour than I dare to tell, let all listen for the voice of the "Land's good Angel which ere long shall be beard In trumpet tones throughout the land. The desired consummation is to come, when and where I cannot even hint, but it ia nevertheless te come. The lint step Is always the most difficult to take, bnt that step will be taken and in perhaps nnlooked for direction. Once taken and the march began, who eon predict tbe result.

Those who would join in the fore ward movement fer freedom should be up and (tire ring, else they will hare it to say of themselves that they missed participating in the grandest events of this century. (EVENING TftAlAMfiklPT- 1 THUEID4? KVCMINH. AUGUST 91 IMta BECOND EDITION St Wat or Example. More than a year ago a yoang man was ia ibeenjojmnit of hia new and bappj home, with all ica comforts and elegances, all lta decorations of liberal culture and rtfired taste. He looked aroaud it with a commendable pride and emotions of gratitude that Such an abode belonged to him.

But neither hia thoughts nor hia feelings were all shut up within It. He (rased from his windows, to see the children or all classes rothing with boundiag feet from the public school the spires and towers of churches of various denominations, wherein unmolested Worship could be rendered to Him who is no re-uperter of persens, according to the dictates of each worshippers conaiwnce; the town house open for the bailors, on election days, of all the elf-ruling people; the coart room. In which impartial lawa are impartially administered; the liarbor with tbe white winced ships and swift Darners coming and going from every foreign clime and every domestic port; the city foil of the activity of successful trade and the equally successful mechanic arts, and all the achievements of co-working capital aod fairly remunerated labor; the farms waving under the genial heavens with promise of rich harvests, or rising food to the ost-Je on every hill; the locomotives bearing onward almost with lightniug speed tbe long trains freighted with human Doings, or merchandise of every description; the native born ci'izene pursuing without interruption tbetr multiform avocations, and the foreign born finding in tbeir adopted country escape from tbe restrictions of tyranny and caste that kept their manhood crippled, and robbed them of their inalienable rishts; to see, la award, all the fair scenea and opulent creations of peace and freedom. As he thus gazed, his eye fell upon the symbolic stars and stripes streaming in the untainted air. He remembered that the national emblem of national greatness floated respected and honored over the spreading of the civilization that waa about hia own abode, from occ in to ocean, like a swift rnshiog tide, and that its victorious flow was only hindered in one direction.

There it waa met and adulterated by tbe antagonistic arrangements of semi-feudalism, with its desp itic oligarchy and in abject serfdom, with its social system shaped and governed almost exclusively with reference to the arbitrary relation between master and slave. By reason of tbls relation, there was no popular education, no middling interest of hooorabla labor, no flourishing agricultural or manufactnr. log towns, intelligent "litrle democracies, no liberal literature, no immigration, no local enterprise, bo rapid increase of industrial resources, enrich In equally the whole population; comparatively speaking, there was nothing of this; bat instead thereof, an ohstioare adherence to an Institution, servile form of toll, for the aggrandizement of the few at the expense of the many. These few had brought their long meditated conspiracy to a head, and determined, as they conld no longer rale in the land against the the will of msjomy, to revolt against the Government they bad surn to uphold, and to break up tbe Union they had solemnly contracted to maintain. Cunningly and unscrupulously disguising their Teal object under pliUsinle pretensions, they had, by insidious persuasion, passionate appeals, and tbe inauguration of a reign ot terror, gained followers and brought their treason to light in overt acts They fired upon, tore down, and trampled in the dust, tbe flag of tbe republic; thus manifesting their fell purpose of making war upon all the greatness end glory, all the grand ideas, and generous principles ail tbe exuberant prosperity and prolific peace and unity, that flag Sy mbollzed.

As the young man saw this, solemn questions s'ixred bis soul gravest questions ot duty. He a -ked himself, whether as one horn un.er that and owing all he was to its protection, and a citizen morally bound to give fraternal support to his fellow-citizen, as a sharer in the legacy of freedom the fathers bought with tbeir blood, nd so a trustee of that legacy for future generations, he was not summoned by every consideration of honor and gratitude to rush to the rescue and engage in the defence of the outraged ban. Her. Against tbe pleadings of tender affections, and in spite of the ties of domestic lifo, and the engagements of business, he saw that the only-answer was an affirmative one. So he gilded np bis resolution and went forth without looking back.

He bore patiently the ennui and the toil-some details of the camp; be endured with unfaltering feet the tedious march; he fought with tbe courage of principle on the battle-field; and flow he either sleeps peacefully in the soldiers Crave, or yet lives ready for farther service in the flood canoe. This picture is not a fancy sketch; though all of its features may not occur in a single original. It represents a reality. Contemplating it, can any one especially can any young man doubt that he ia, in some way, according to his circumstances and the extent of his ability, called upon to imitate the example it describes; that it is his tinty too, to be deaf to tbe temptations of inglo. lions ease and recreant self indulgence, to hold no debate with the sophistries of timid and short-Igfcted expediency, to favor no compromises and flo delays so long as rebellion exists, threatening our fiee institutions, striving to rend asunder the Union, and to make all the greatness and promise Of the country succumb and be subservient to the domination of false and sectional political theories and dogmas; as hostile to the best progressive and humane civilization, as they are narrow and despotic and treasonable in their temper, purposes sud acts? AN ARRIVAL FROM RICHMOND.

Small encamp neats were a 1-0 viniTjlo at several localities along roe railrosl from tbe auction to tbe crossing of toe cum-u so road from Fredericksburg and Sp itt-vlvauia, where another Urge body woe also encamped.

The wagon trains were not nnmerons, and there is evidently lack of transportation Stonewall Jackson was said to have left Gor-dohsville, bnt none knew hi whereabout.

The informant paused through Suinnardsville, and saw quite a hevj force at that pome. They were not encamped, and appeared a if prepared to move. Mure troop were said be (robing to tbe same point from Coecluttaviile end Gur-liunhvllJe. This looks as if they contemplated a flank movement against Gan ipe a right; And il to, it will probably be led by JacsMO. TUE MOVEMENT OF AUMY.

As pertinent to the commencement of the regular dramatic season at tbe Mnsenm on Monday next, some remark relative to the change that have been wrought in the in terior arrangements of the building, during the race, may be interesting.

Spacious and elegantly fornishrd orchestra stalls, exteading entirely across the floor, have been constructed, and the Architecture of the gallery baa been materially improved so that many desirable scats may hereafter be eeenred in that locality.

Most of the them were from enlisjed men, and coming from the heart, went straight to the heart of their hearers, causing a large addition to the list of name enrolled for nine months.

The signers were loadly cheered aa they appeared upon the platform.

We now bamen to avail ourselves ot the statemeats of Mr John Gorin ley, a California private, who contributes to the lDiladelphia Press an account of his imprisonment for eight months among the rebels, and favors the public with the following record of an interview with the pirate President of the Confederacy One day who should come stalking into mv cell hut Jt-ffmou Davis, who, to get a cheap reputation lor philanthropy, occasionally visited too prittin.

Tbe comet discovered by Mr. Tu'tle at Cambridge, about tbe middle of July, has been visible to the naked eye for some weeks past. It is now. esrly in tbe evening, about fif u-en degrees west of the north dor star, and with tbe brightest star in the Little p-per, an obtuse triangle, the star being in the angle. The nucleus is quite brilliant, and, through a telesi-ope, burning rays can be em issuing from one side of it, which resemble fire coming fro the mouth of a cannon.

A tail of foar or five degrees length esa be easily seen with the naked eye. The comet's position is such that it is seen throughout the night. Ix Camf xxau the Rarxnax Biter, I August K.lnS. Fkom tde Army of iHOixia. Everybody who is in i) uipoiby with the Uoiou cu-e is jun-hint over tbe manner in which ockaoo, who is undoubtedly the most daring of tbe rebel generals, has been check mared in his proposed game of either rapturing or annihilating in the Napoleonic style tbe whole of the army of Virginia.

From all sources of information, including rebel residents of this section of the country, and pos-oneis and deserters from his army, Jackson started from Gordonsviile, in every way confident of defeating one by one, both by strategy and overwhelming numbers, the snuy corps of Generals Banks, bigel, and McDowell. lie thought that McDowell was still at Waterloo, on the Rappahannock, and he would make a feint at Madison Court House for the purpose of detaining Sipel, who was only some seventeen miles from that place, while they conld with an overwhelming force on the corns of General Banks, and before assistance could reach him either annihilate or capture the whole armv. But Gen. Pope aaw the game, and completely to a rather vulgar word balked the game. McDowell was rapidly moved from the Ropa-bannock, and be and Sigel were placed in auch a position that they conld bo within supporting distance of Gen.

Banks. As I said before, tbe wiy Jackson then advanced, radiant with hope of an easy victory, but how he succeeded is already too well known to the people of the couutiy to need repetition here. By the brave and heroic stand of Gen. Banks, with his only hsndftil of men, compared with that of Gen. Jackson, the threatened disaster to our troops ires averted, and the rebels were sent howling bock to the place from whence they came.

Never since tbe commencement of the war wu a braver sand or more heroic resistance made than that of our troops on that Saturday. Oat-numbered at least seven to one, they Dravely held tbeir ground for upwards of seven boors, and, therefore, not only gained infinite credit themselves, hat also shed an additional lustra around the military achievements of our arms. Most of the troops on oar side were raw and undisciplined troops, while those of the rebels were disciplined and almost veterans, having all fought ia tbe battles before Richmond, aad been with Jscksoaln his raids up the Shenandoah and Lurny valleys. The victory, therefore, for our army wu all the more grand, and history wifi record it as such. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press.

They state that since their arrival in London, on the 21st of July last, they have been surrounded by crowd of visitors anxious to obtain information on the state of affair in America. They state also that their uada. Prince de Jolnville, has written a pampolet on General McClellans militaiy operations in Virginia, from tbe time he took command of the Potomac army down to tbe seven days battle before Richmond. That pamphlet was first Intended for the French market; bat, as the French Government does not allow any work written by the members of the Orleans family to circulate ia France, he will confine himself for the publication of ttin present work, to England and Germany.

Saxatob Sumxeb. The following are ex'raet from a let.er written by a gentleman in Washington: Ibere are quite a number of Bostonians at present in Washington, and it is safe to cay that all of thrm are more or leu indebted to Senator Sumner for courtesies end attention. His influence is far greater then many would have us believe, acd while often underrated cannot be over estimated. Always accessible, he is ever ready to bestow a favor or perform an act of kindness, and it is to the honor of Massachusetts that she has a Senator capable of rendering such aid to those whom he represents. Boston merchants will be pleased to learn that tbe vouchers of the Quartermaster in General Butler's department hare been approved by Secretary Sianton, and the order for their payment goes forward tomorrow.

This settlement involves a large amount of money duo to Boston houses on contracts." The Rush or Thatel to the Whitb Mocx-taixs has been greater tbe past ftw weeks than for many years, and some of the most popular hotels of the region havo never been thronged by such crowds of visitors as they are at the present time. Billiard rooms, ten-pin alleys, harness rooms and even coaches hare been used for lodgers, and as usual on such occasions, those who foil to secure comfortable quarters meet with rather hard fare for pleasure travellers. Some of the houses a war from the great lines of public travel have had three times as many applications for accommodations as they conld furnish. The Bostox Reoihext.

The Cincinnati Commercial has the following correspondence relative to the extraordinary session of the Legislature of Kentucky, in objects, and the results which have been accomplished: The object of tbe session has not been clearly defined, bnt it is developing itself rapidly. Thera was a report on Thursday that Governor Migoffla bad said that if Lieutenant Governor Fisk and the Military Board would resign, if the 8cuate would elect Senator James Ribinson Speaker of tbe Senate, vice Speaker Fisk, that be might be heir apparent to the Executive chair, he.

Governor Magoffin, wonld also resign. Tbia was regarded sni-b a complication of contingencies that it did not seem possible to bring them all about, and it was not desirable to auemot one without being, sure of the other. But this was real'y the programme of the managers, and somewhere about midnight on the ISth the ar rangements were perfected. Lieutenant Governor Fisk died bard, but it was agreed that he should be reelected Speaker of tbe Senate (er officio Lieutenant Governor), and he finally yielded. So you discover that on Monday the Senate of Kentucky bad a new Speaker, then no Military turd.

then a new Gorernur (Robinson), and then Mr. Speaker Fisk was restored to bis firmer dignity. This thing was managed by a nnaiber of prominent men, chief among whom were Judge Buckner and Adjutant-Gen era I Finnell. I can't say definitely who else manipulated the various par ties involved, but it is understood that tbe diplomats intimated that tbe thing was obligatory. I suppose that Garret Davis.

Mallory, M. and Menzies, bad sumeihing to do in tbe premises, as they were present, and seemed to enjoy tbe prospect. Some of tbe managers an aio striving to induce Mat. Johnston of Lexington, to accept the position of Secretary of State. If he does, it will add greatly to the strength of the Administration.

Under the new regime Kentucky will be speedily placed upon a safe war looting. At present her militia affairs are in abominable confusion. Neither the military Board or the Governor had authority requisite to discharge their obligations satisfactorily, and it is well understood tbatMo-gr ffln would nave used authority mischievously bao he not been deprived of it. Lest the fact that the Governors suggestion in favor of Mr. bin-bod as hia successor might affect the reput anon of tbe latter for loyalty, it is proper to say that I'- was tbe almost unanimous choice of loading Kentucky Union men.

Some time ago there were ominous hints that the Governor had called the Legislature for some Purpose. The suspicion doubtless grew be Peculiar condition of the public mi ad. wtu now be dissipated.

The work of raising the grade of the Lowell Railroad about two feet, for a considerable distsuco in the vicinity of the Milk Row Station in Somerville, is now in progress. The depot, together with the adjacent bridgo roaring Washington street and the Somerville Horae Railroad track, will also be correspondingly raised. These improvements hare long been needed, particularly on account of the flood ot water heretofore collecting under tho bridge during Spring and Fail freshets, and where. It will he recollected, a serious accident occurred about two years since, when a horse was drowned and the lives of several persons. In a coach, put ln fcopardy.

A member of the Massachu setts 13th Regiment, writing a day or two after thebattie of Cedar Mountain, speaks as follows Of the proceedings subsequent to the battle--Day before yesterday the battle-field wu under the white flag, and open to all panlee.
