7 Vote FOR THE PERMANENT CONSTITUTION," at the August Election. SATUKDAY MORNING. JULY 20, IS01. Judsrc Catron, a Confederate States Citizen ana a United. States Judge.

A correspondent, in tins morning's paper, essays to defend Judge Catron against the animadversions of the Uxiox axd American, first by a denial of the statement that Judge C. was in St. Louis, for the purpose of trying persons charged with treason the Government of Lincoln, and second, by maintaining that there is no wrong in a citizen of the Confederate States holding the office of Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States and trying causes while the two Governments are at war. The statement, that Judge Catbos is trying cases of is denied on the ground that the tele? graphic dispatch, which we publish, did not so assert. TYo answer this, by asserting that it was stated repeatedly on the streets, and never denied, by gentlemen of reputation and veracity, that Judge -Catron received a letter from Judge Treat, District Judge of the United States, in Missouri, requesting him to attend a term of his Court, in St Louis, for the purpose of assisting him in trying certain per-fssns, charged with treason.

This statement was generally believed, as coming from Judge Catron himself. Will B. C' deny that this is so? In addition to this fact, we had it stated to us in a written memorandum, by a reliable gentleman in Kentucky, that Garrett Davis asserted, in a speech at Paris, in that State, that Judge Catron, the friend of Andrew Jackson, the conqueror of tyrants, had said to him that the leaders of the secession movement were guilty of treason and would ultimately i suffer the penalties of treason. We allude to these facta to show that we had reason lo believe that Judge Catron condemn this great Southern revolution, as treasonable. 15ut B.

says that Judge Catron has chang-ed his opinions very much, since he left for St. Louis, if he would entertain charges of treason, and he is not prepared to credit so rapid a change. The dispatch, which we published, indicates that Judge Catron hi3 taken the Northern view of treason, as strongly as general language can do it. It was not Ulsgraphed exclusively to the Louisville Journal, but was a general newspaper dispatch, and has not been contradicted. Nevertheless we shall be rejoiced that It has done Judge Catron injustice.

We shall give him the full benefit of his charge, when it comes to hand, and if he has taken the ground that we have heard intimated, that South, I erners engaged in this just and glorious war are revolutionists, and entitled to all the rights of belligerents, then we shall be prepared to hail this opinion with the honor that attaches to an uptight and fearless Judge, declaring his judgments in defiance of military power and dictatorship. We shall await the reception of this charge with interest. Wo desire to do no injustice to Judge Catron, and are prepared to extend to him any honor he deserves. We now come to the second branch of '-T. argument, that bscause Judge Campbell did not resign for months after his State seceded, and Judge Wayne and Judge Taney did not resign their places on the bench, it is not inconsistent or wrong for a citizen of the Confederate; States to occupy a seat on the Supreme Bench of the United States.

This parallel is easily disposed of. Judge Campbell has resigned, and he resigned in consequtnee of the war upon the SoulJi. Of Judge Wayne we know little, and our correspondent knows less. Wc do not know that he is a true Southern man. "We do not know that he continues to reside in Georgia.

We do know, however, that in some of the States of his circuit a law has been enacted, makiogit treason for any citizen to hold an ofiice under the Government of the United States. We conclude, therefore, that it would not be safe for Judge Watne to reside in that part of the country, and, we are certain, if he intends to remain on the bench, he is better posted than to attempt to reside among Uiose people. Judge Watne, moreover, may have considered the secession of his State and the action of the Federal Government, in bringing on a war against the South, as abrogating his office and functions, and that resignation was therefore a uscIceb ceremony. Tina is certainly the true Judicial view to take ef cmc, and we have no evidence whatever that Judge Watne doe3 not occupy that position. As to Judge Taset, ho resides in a State that has secedjd, and there is, therefore, no parallel In the two cases nt all.

We assumed in our articla, and continue to maintain that the a8Humptiun of authority by a judge, under commission from the United States, by a citizen of Tennessee reeident in its limits, is at war with its sovereignty, and especially when Tennrssee. is in a state of wnr with the States. Wo are however, not prepared to see a rule of conduct recognized for the government ol citizsns of Tennessee which will fill the Federal Congress with Nei-sont, MATNARns and Andrew Johnsons, pretending to represent the people of Tennessee and which will give us bogus Marshall, Collectors and Judges in etery part of the State, to defy the authority of the State, and create disturbances in our midst. Connally K. Triuo, who was announced as the candidate for Governor of Tennessee, to be sup-ported by the so called Union friends of the Lincoln Government in Hast Tennessee has withdrawn, in favor of Major Polk.

In his letter to the Knox-ville Whig he discloses the whole plan to throw Tennessee out of the Southern Confederacy and into tho arms of Lincoln. The pretense that she can an independent Government herself is the boWest kind of a fraud, which none tut the mcst ignorant and stupid would lor a moment, entertain. We warn our friends to be on their guard, all over the State, sainst the burrowing of secret Lihtoln- and Tories who will be endeavoring to procure rttgainst the permanent constitution of the Confederate States. The following is an extract from Mr. Tkioo's letter, which we publish lor the information of our readers, as to ths designs of the enemy But inasmuch as the permanent Constitution of the Confederate States is to be submitted to the people for their adoption or rejection, I must be pardoned for adding a word on that subject, lhe action of the people of Tennessee upon that Oonsti-tution will have a most important bearing upon their future destiny.

For if the people adopt it, they plunge themselves irrevocably into, the Southern Confederacy, and be the consequences what they may, they must abide them. What these con sequences are likely to be, and of tho titter nun which is to attend them, vre have already had a melancholy foretaste, Lythe brief connection we tare thus far had with that Confederacy. Bat if that Constitution shall ba rejected by tho people at tha approaching election, the slatas of Tennessee will be charged, and she will then be in a condition to take such a course, in the impending crisis, as her best interests shall dictate. Apart from the unconstitutional "Military League," which was formed byjier Legislature, with the Confederate States, the State of Tct has no other alliance with said States, than that which arises from the adoption, of their provisional Constitution. That Constitution provides for its own duration by declaring that it shall "continue one year from the inauguration of the President or until a Constitution shall bo put in Tho permanent Constitution, to bt.

submitted to the people, ratification of the conventions otjlct States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution btticetn the Stales so ratifying the some." So that by the very tenm of the instrument it is apparent that any State which has adopted the Pro1 visional Constitution, and which, refuses to adopt the permanent one, will no longer be regarded as one of the Confederate States, for it is only to be established belixecn the Stales ratifying it. Hence, if Tennessee shall refuse to ratity it. on the first Thursday in next month, her connection with the Confederate States will cease, except as far as she is bound by her "Military League," and the adop tion of tha Provisional Constitution. By the latter act, sho can at most be held only for a year from tho inauguration of the President, and not so long it Jive States shall ratify tho Permanent Constitution, which will no doubt very shortly occur. And the "Military League," being a Legislative' enactment, may be repealed and annulled by the same authority which brought it into existence.

It will be seen from the card of Col.

Trigg, that he is ineligible to the office of Governor not hav-tng resided in the State as long as the Constitution requires. We regret this, as we desired to run an East Tennessee Union man. But having now only two weeks to go upon, and having to choose between Isham G. Harris and Wm. JX Polk, we don't hesitate to take the latter.

Harris has shown his hostility to East Tennessee in every movement he has made and his bitterness towards Union leaders and Union men, by the hands he has placed the Banks in. Polk is an original Union man and a Douglas Democrat and aWiough he yie'ded to the Secession pressure, as every body did in Middle and West Tennessee, he wets among the last men to surrender, and continued lo make Union speedies until his friends remonstrated, because of tfie danger he was tzivseu to. He is kind in his feelings toward East Tenacsset' and East Tennessee Union men. and will do us justice, the very thing Harris and his party will never do. As a choice of evils and as a peace measure, we go for Polk, and no Union man in East Tennes see ought, for one moment, to hesitate about supporting Polk.

We can give him 20.000 of a majority in this end of the State, and let us do it. 02131 UNICA TIOX. Judge Catron. Editors Tnion and American: I regret to observe in your issue of to day an editorial calculated to create a prejudice against Judge Catron. You have devoted an editorial to him upon what you call a telegraphic dispatch from St.

Louis. Now permit me to say, sirs, that, in my opinion, you have done Judge Catron great Injustice. I am certain that no dispatch has been published in you paper giving, or pretending to give, Judge Catron's position at St Louis, or, in my opinion, in the remotest manner intimating that he is now, or h.is been, holding the U. S. Court there for the purpose of trying traitors against the Government ot Lincoln and moreover, I feci satisfied that such is not the fact The only information you have published conveying my idea of the position of Judge at St.

Lbuis, is tho same identical dispatch first copied from the Louisville Journal (as you inform me.) and subsequently from the N. Y. Herald. It certainly cannot be pretended that this dispatch furnishes information upon which your conclusions can fairly be based. The author ot the dispatch is not given.

The fact that it was first published in the Louisville Journal is enough to satisfy me that it is entitled to no creditor confidence. The position of Judge Catron when he left here for St Louis was very different from that shadowed forth in your editorial. That he has in so short a time entirely abandoned it, I am not prepared to believe. If jou are in the possession of other information than the dispatch referred to to justify your comments, you should have published the same with your editorial, that the emmunity here might draw their own conclusions. No man would deprecate or condemn more than myself the position which you assume to be Judge Catron's.

In loyalty to the South no man is in advance of or can date farther back than myself. But I am unwilling to try, judge and condemn a man of Judge Catron's and position upon a mere irresponsible telegraphic dispatch which, if entirely reliable, conveys no definite idea as to hi3 position. Insofar as the fact goes that Judge Catron still occupies the position of Judge of the Supreme Court of the U. and sits upon the Bench as such. I see nothing very alarming in that.

Judge Campbell, of Alabama, whose loyalty to the South has never been questioned, never resigned his position until three or four months after Alabama had seceded, but on the contrary, continued to sit upon the Bench of the Supreme Court, and to hear and determine causes up to the adjournment thereof No one in Alabama, I presume, felt much alarmed from that fact; nor was there so far as I have seen or heard any obnoxious comments upon his position and course by the pres3 of Alabama. Judge Wayne, who is a citizen of Savannah, ii still a member of the Supreme Court of the United States notwithstanding every State in his circuit has long since seceded from the Federal Government He. too. has continued to officiate in his official capacity. I have not seen it charged that his presence is dangerous to the people of Savannah.

Nor has he, so far as I have seen or heard, been arraigned for his course. Can it be that the people who were the original movers in this great cause are less sensitive as to their rights, or less loyal to the South than we are! Who doubt3 that the venerable Taney possesses a heart true and loyal to the South yet he has not thrown UP his commission. The fact is, sir, you have been rather hasty in arraigniog JulgeC. before the public, as dangerous and obnoxious to the South his native land, and where residu all of his relations and kindred. Wait, sir, until you can authoritatively give his position, till you have -omething tangible and visible to justify such conclusions.

When that time comes, you will find me ready to co-operate with you any feasible plan to protect tha community from such influences. There are thousands of much more dangerous men in Tennessee than Judge and men too whd make no secret of their hostility to the Southern cause. Let such be first arraigned, condemned and purnished. In justice to Judge I am constrained to ask the insertion of this communication in your journal. T.

B. C. The Lata Ic. Wc learn from the Charleston Zlercanj that Boiifkt Sei.dsn Garsett entered tho West Point Academy as a Cadet from Virginia in September, 1S37. He graduated in 1811, and received the ap pointment ot Brevet 2d Lieutenant, 1th Artillery In Julv.

1841. he wan detailed as instructor of infantry tactics at West Point, and continued to occupy that position until October. 181 1, when he was attached to Gen. Wool's staff in the capacity of Aid-decnmp. On the breaking out of the war with Mexico, he joined Gen.

Tailor's column, and distinguished himself by his bravery in the battles of Palo Alto and Heseca de la Palma. In August, 1S40, he was made 1st Lieutenant, and calh-d by Gen. Taylor to his personal staff, on which ho served until January, 1819. For his "gallanfand meritorious conduct the several conflicts at Monterey, Mexico," he was breveted Captain; and again, on the desperate field of Buena Vista, he was brev eted Major for "gallant Since the close of the Mexican war, adds the Mercury, he has been attached to the 7th Infantry United States army. Upon the dissolution of the Union he resigned his commission and joined his fortunes with those of his native State.

In recognition of his merits he was appointed by President Davis Brigadier General In the Provisional army of tho Confederate States, and placed in command of one of the corps d'armees sent to crush out the Abolition traitoi of the Panhandle. He died nobly in the performance of his duty, the first general officer to fall in the cause of Southern independence. Cotton fkuii Liverpool. The Charleston Mercury of the Cth says: "We heard of two orders having gone ut this week to purchase cotton in Liverpool for shipment to New York, probably on account of manufacturers, a circumstance before unknown in the present century. One order embraced 500 bales, and another 200: and the total orders reported as'bemg forwarded this week probably does not reach less than 1000 OUB WAB FOB INDEPENDENCE.

TEE CAHXPAZGN IJI VIKGirflA. ItTE DISASTER TO GEN. OAIKETrsCOjniASO. Trca the Eletooal 17. Painful Tumors have reached the city, announcing a very Berious disaster' to the command of General Garnetf, and tending to-conflrm the telegraphic dis- patch from Cincinnati, reporting the capture by Gen.

McClellan of a thousand of our forces, several guns, and two hundred killed, including Gen. Garnett among the dead. This would argue a bloody fight and desperate resistance on the part of our brave soldiers. If these tidings be true, the primary cause of this calamity to our forces would seem to havo been a ig iag march over Rich Mountain, in tho night, by a few thousand of McCIellan's command, by which CoL Pcgram was taken in tho rear and cut off from communication with Gen. Garnett, producing the misfortune that befel that gallant officer and leading to the others which overtook tho rest of the command.

Two' to three thousand of our troops are- conceded to have withdrawn in safety according to our accounts; while it is reported from Washington they aro again occuping Laurel IliLL It must not be supposed that this raislortune, if correctly reported, would put the enemy at Staunton. A long road, of moro than a hundred miles, aad many raDges of high mountains, utterly im-passable to an enemy, intervene between Laurel Hill and Staunton, affording innumerable rallying points, and ample time for the muster in forco of our troop3 and militia. The country is the wildest and most unexplored in Virginia. It is not possible that McClellan would attempt the march to Staunton. It is, on the contrary, to bo resumed that having cleared his rear of danger, will proceed to Grafton, and thence make good his way by railroad to Martinsburg, whence, in conjunction with Uen.

Patterson, he would precipitate himself upon the command of Gen. Johnson. We have given tho bad news from Laurel Hill ju3t as it has reached this city. For ourselves, however, we take the liberty of doubting tho correctness of it. A letter to Gen.

Lee from Gen. Garnett, written Saturday morning, represents Gen. Garnett to have been making good his retreat with all his stores and baggage in good order, without mention of the probability of an engagement. A gentleman also is in the city who left General Garnett late on Saturday Eafe and in good condition. Yetit is on Saturday that the desperate misfortuno is said to have been inflicted upon him.

The Cincinnati dispatch in itself amounts to nothing, for it has been preceded for a week by daily dispatches of a similar character, every one of which has been falsified. We trust and believe that tho authentic details of this affair at Laurel Hill will relieve the news of all its worst feature, and reduce our misfortune to the mere falling bacb, after hard fightiDg, of a smaller force before a greatly larger one. At all events, be this news ever so true, it is far more than counterbalanced by the glorous tidings from General McCullough's command in Mis-jojri. P. Since the foregoing was written, we have had the positive assurance of the authenticity of the following facts That General Garnett was mortally wounded in the disaster alluded to, and that the Confederate forces lately under his com-romd retired in good order.

General Garnett was wounded during the retreat of his forces. The enemy outnumbered him seven to one, but after their partial success did not advance in force beyond the point from which thpy drove General Garnett From the Rlctsnsd Exunlner, Jul; 17. The battle of Rich Mountain, and the retreat of Col. Scott to Monterey, appears to have had an unpleasant sequel. The general impression is that Gen.

Garnett was then left alone and unsupported, with his communications cut off. McClellan, not caring to pursue Scott in his march towards Staunton, turned back on Garnett with overwhelming forces; and if his official dispatches are to be credited (we have no other account of what then passed) gave our troops, only TiOfl in number, an inevitable defeat. Among those who then fell, according to McClellan, was General Garnett in person. Some light begins to dawn on these affairs, though it is yet uncertain. It appears that our misfortunes were due not more to the greater force of the enemy than to the divisions of our troops.

The whole command had been divided into three parts. The largest of the three under Garnett, in an entrenched camp, fourteen miles from Rich Mountain, and nearest tbe enemy; with about eight hun dred, at Beverly, on the road to Staunton; Pegrara, with some fifteen hundred, on Rich Montain, in front of Beverly. Garneit's command was the furthest North, and faced McCIellan's army. It is said that McClellan deceived Garnett by leaving a tr.iall number of his men in his lines, and made a night march down to Rich Mountain. Here he attacked Pegram, as stated ycterday and that officer, being unsupported by Scott, from reasons now only known on ex-parle statements, was dislodged from his position and his troops disordered.

It appears, however, that the loss in killed and wounded was not'grcater than the enemy, and there is now much doubt whether CoL Pegram was himself taken, as at first stated. Most of them, it is said, have since come into Scott's command. This latter officer retreated down the Staunton road to Monterey, burning a bridge on the route behind him. The rest is only known from McCIellan's dispatch-03. It would seem that when Garnett learned the result of the affair at Rich Mountain, he left his camp and attempted a retroat into Hardy county; but it was too late.

He was compelled to give battle with greatly unequal numbers, lost his baggage and a considerable number of and fell himself in the action. The rest of his command is now stated to be under Col. Ramsey, of Georgia-Colonel Scott has been outranked at Monterey by General Jackson, of Georgia. If it be the same who commanded the Georgia troops in the Mexican war, and who was afterwards Minister at Vienna, our affairs have fallen into able hands. Such at present appears to be the nearest approach to accuracv and clearness thatthe contradictory nature of the" reports brought to town permit There does not appear to have been a great effusion of blood.

McClellan himself states it only as a trifle. That General was the superior of his opponents In skill and numbers; hence we have met with a disaster, the moral effect of which is undoubtedly bad for our cause, but only temporarily so. A few days will change the scene. McClellan is probably at Beverly. Hi3 intention is said to be to establish his headquarters at Lewis burg, in ten miles of the White Sulphur Springs.

Another Acoovnt. Wc give the following paper, as furnished us by a gentleman in Scott's command: I left Monterey Monday morning. There were then at that place the following troops The -1 1th, Col. W. C.

Scott a Regiment from North Carolina. Col. Lee a Georgia Regiment, under command of Col. Johnson and five companies under command of Major Tyler. The latter had reached Monterey at great peril from Rich Slountaic.

Gen. Jackson was in command, and had inspired confidence in the troops. The 4 llh Regiment had suffered much by this long march, which lasted four days and nights, but with the exception of fatigue, the men were well. The accident caused by the overturning of a wsgon has been already reported. Another unfortunate affair had occurred.

Some prisoners made ipi effort to escape, and the guard fired, and by some misapprehension the fire was continued at random by some of the companies, by which three or four soldiers were killed, whose names I do not know, but some were members of the Richmond Zouaves. Col. Scott arrived too lato to take part in tho noble fight at Rich Mountain. When he got to the scene of action, the battle was over, and he could hea the shouts of the Lincolnites in the late camp of our friends. Col.

Scott sent two expresses both were killed. He could get no information as to the position of the enemy, and he ordered a retreat, which was done in good order. He carried with hira a large train of Government stores, which are now at Monterey. Col. Scott then fell back as far as Greenbrier river where he met Col.

Johnson, of a Georgia Regiment, who. being the ranking officer, ordered the command to fall back to Monterey, at which place he met a North Carolina Regiment, under Gen. Jackson, who assumed command of all the forces at that point. When I left, it was not determined whe would take position. I can but hope that Colonel Pegram is safe.

I have not heard from him since one o'clock Thursday night. Capt De Lanier fell at his guns, having fired Eve times after his whole detatchment had been killed. TheRuekingham Lee Guard and the Powhatan Rifles suffered severely. They held their position for three hours at immense odds. I regret to mention that private Evans of the Randolph Macon Guards, accidentally shot himself with 1m pistol.

conversed witn nun. lie was cheerful. He wis the color-bearer of the Regiment The enemy, in full force, are at Huttonsville, nine ty-five miles from Staunton Every man should now rally to the rescue. Be not discouraged. Give us half a chance and the day is ours.

LATER TltOM WINCHESTER IIARrER's FERET OCCUPIED. From the retars'urK Xxprcsi, Julj 17. Our special correspondent writes us under date July 15. p. that no one is now allowed to pass the lines of the Federal troops, coming from Baltimore.

Even the Conductors on the Railroads are searched every trip, and all letters and papers destroyed. Christian Frailey was shot by Sergeant Allen in the abdomen at the Virginia House Friday evening, and mortalty wounded, ill leenng nad existed be tween them for some time. Both belonged to tl 0 Kentucky Battalion. Sunday night our pickets shot three of the Yan kees and took fire prisoners. It is said that we average three killed and three prisoners every day throughout the week.

Our scouts have justcome in trom tue ne gnuor- hood of Bunker Hill, twelve miles from Winchester, and reported the enemy as advancing on Winchester with a large force. The trumpeter of Col. Stuart's cavaly, who was stationed there, has just been brought in seTerely wounded-in the leg. 9 Harper's Ferry was occupied by tho Yankee forces yesterday afternoon aUhree o'clock. ornucE3 croN tirginia cmrsss.

CcrKspoaJtrie cf tha r.IetecndltfsjjtcS Terpen, July 11, 1SGL -You. wiU rccoiiecf, JlessrsEditors, that in ray last I stated, as a generally believed rumor, that the citizens around Point; were forced into the-Fort at tho point of the bayonet and made to take the oath of allegiance. I could not then vouch for the truth of this rumor, though such conduct on the part of the vandals was perfectly characteristic. Since then, I have learned from an entirely reliable source, that what I stated as rumor is literally true. As soon as it was known at the Fort that the militia were to be called out the redoubtable Butler sent out a large body of soldiers, who went from house to house at midnight and took every man and boy.forced them Into tho Fort and compelled them to take the oath or remain in prison, ilia treatment of Messrs.

Ratcliffo and Israel, of Baltimore, fully explains how ho in licences our citizens voluntarily to take the oath, 'No compulsion, no compulsion, la his cry. Everything of this sojt mast bo voluntary. But it is "tako tho oath or be hung as a spy compulsion, of course 1 The old tyrant tried the same game with some citizens of Hampton. In some cases he succeeded in others be met with noble and patriotic refusals. Among tho latter, I understand, is one Mr.

Mas? cnburg, who, on being required to take the oath, stood up and bared his aged bosom, and told the oppressor to shoot him, if he chose, for ha would sooner die than take the oath. Mr. M. upwards of sixty years of age, and so infirm as generally to walk on crutches, yet I saw this old man, when the rumor was first started that the enemy were coming to Hampton, tako his double-barrelled shot-gun, and forgetful of his age and infirmities, walk down to the bridge and express his determination to drive back the ioe or perish in the effort Among others who have resisted threats and persuasions to force them to take oath, are CoL Wilson Jones, Mr. Fowkcs, and some others.

Sec'i instances of true patriotism, on the part of men who arc compelled by circumstances to remain among the enemy, are worthy of all praise. Tho losses of our citizens in the perishing their crops and the loss of their negroes throughout Elizabeth City and Warwick counties arc beyond all calculation. While Iloraco Greeley promulgated, as a part of the progammc of the war, the liberation of the slaves and the general desolation of tho country, man of us were incredulous as to the authorities at Washington adopting such courso. We looked upon it as mere gasconade on the part of the Tribune to frighten the Southerners, but not supposing that the Administration would really condescend to anything so low and so characteristic of barbarism. But facta have opened our eyes to the truth, that Horace was well posted in advance, and that there is no act of vandalism too mean for the po frets at the once national capital to adopt or sanction.

The destruction of property, the insults repeatedly offered to ladies, the imprisonment of unoffending citizens, and the gross outrages offered to them wliila held in duress, have been so great and so continuous that except in actual butchery of women and children, it is doubtful whether the treachery and cruelty of Nena Sahib in India have exceeded those that have been practiced by the Northerners since the invasion of lower Virgins. Well, these things will open the eyes of our people, and show the true character of our foes, and the true object of war. The cause is working out its legitimate effects. Hundreds and thousands of our citizens, who were earnest Union men, have by such means been changed to thorough and equally earnest Secessionists, and as this war progresses the work will go on. Men will think and reason lor themselves.

They will see that the ob ject of the war is to compel them to have fellowship with their own destroyers; that in the Union that was, they must give their sanction to a war that has no other apparent object but to uphold a milita ry despotism and legalize a system of indiscriminate plunder and destruction. Such a condition of things, too, must ultimately convince many, if not all the people of the North that, in carrying on tho war, they must sanction and pray for what in their hearts they cannot but despise. This influence will spread and increase, and when they find their Government loaded with a debt of five or six hundred millions, and their manufacturing and commercial interests utterly destroyed, and the moral influence of the civilized world arrayed sgainst them, and the South still unsubdued everything lost and nothing gamed will they not be brought to their senses, and cease to furnish the means of carrying on so unjust and profitless a warfare? INTr.IIESTINO PEXSACOLA. Movements ot ttio at the Eust I'ass Itcjiort Illtcct from Fort 1'lctccns. Correspondence of the Mobile asl Ailrsrtlier.

Pensacola, Monday night July After an absence of two weeks, Uie8teamer Niagra returned to her anchorage last night. Where the old tiling has been, the Lord knows. At noon to-day a small steamer from the east ward arrived in the fleet We think her the steamer that has been blockading the East Pass of the Island, and come to report to Com. Merviu the uncivil conduct off Capt. Clanton in killing some of her crew last Friday.

If they don't like such treat ment let 'em clear out, nobody wants them here. A gentleman has just returned from the Ei3t Pass and reports things quiet in that quarter. From all that he could gather, he is of opinion that but one boat from the fleet ha3 ever visited the main liud and that was several weeks ago. They carried off some corn from tbe residence of a person at the time absent from home, the only deprecation commuted by them. They seem to content themselves with possession of the Island, and would, no doubt, compromise matters in thi3 vicinity, as it would enable them to operate against the whole gulf coast, their present quarters serving as a depot for provisions, tc.

A large transport steamer, that has for two weeks been lying near Fort Pickens, sailed thi3 afternoon at 5 o'clock, to the Eastward. P. S. I learn from the Navy Yard, that the steamer that arrived last night, and mentioned above as the Niagara, is not that vessel, but some other frigate, probably tho Brooklyn. LATER ANOTHER DESEKTKE ARRIVED.

I open this to inform you that a deserter, who gives his names as Mark a sailor from the steamer Niagara, swam from tho Island to the mainland Saturday night, and after wandering twelve miles in the interior, was picked up by a detachment of Capt Clanton's Mounted Rifles, who were on a scout in the neighborhood. He gives important information, and no doubt correctly. He sayg that the cause of his desertion was owing to bad treatment When he resolved upon djsertion, he bundled up his clothes and started from the camp to the beach for the purpose of washing them, and that thus having deceived his comrades, he continue up the Island some four or five miles, when he swam to the mainland, and was found as above 6tated. He brought with him his naval pistol. He says there are only about 1200 men on the LslanJ, and that Billy Wilson is there wfch his regiment of roughs.

Many of these men are sick; they are only allowed whisky once a day, which is not enough. The troops and sailors are treated badly and worked almost to death. He states that many of them are dissatisfied. The deserter himself bears signs of ill-usage, and brings with him a black eye, the eflects of a blow from the coxswain. But the most important information he gives is that in regard to the batteries but very few, he represents, are on the Island, and t'se near Fort Pickens and they are of large rifle cannon.

Ills Majckty'n Progress. By tho information contained in the slip below, copied from the BaltinWe Sun, it will be seen that the despotism at Washington is proceeding briskly to develop the full measure of its tyrannical policy. In imitation of the royal barges of Her Majesty Victoria, Lincoln has begun the first step towards tho assumption of the imperial purple.

It seems, however, that he has adequate respect for his cabinet and taste in awarding them approprhte colors. Baroes for toe President and Cadiset. It is stated that two new barges are being built in the Washington navy-yard one for the President and family and the other for tho Cabinet. These are to be 20 feet long and feet wide, to be pulled by twelve oars. The President's boat will be painted white, with gilt stripe, and trimmed inside with blue damask.

The boat for the Cabinet will be painted black, with scarlet stripe and with crimson trimmings. Pessonnei. or Li.vcoln's Ati-ointments. Mr. Lin coln seems to bo gathering the same debris into his navy as ho has collected into his army.

I send you a copy of-a proclamation by Henry A. Wise to the' people of tho Kanawha Valley. It was obtained by an officer ot the" Ohio volunteers from a Secession family near Ravenswood Proclamition. l.RiPLET. July 1S6I.

To the true and loyal citizens of Virginia oa all the Ohio border, and more particularly to those of Jackson county. I would eaniCKtly appeal to come to the dc fence of the Coimiionwcaltli, invaded and insulted as she is by a ruthless aud unnatural enemy. None need be afraid that they will be held account-table for past opinions, votes or acts, under the delus'oaswhichhave been practiced -upon the Northwestern people, if they will now return to their patriotic duty and acknowledge their allegiance to Virginia and her Confederate States as their true, and lawful sovereigns. You were Union men, so was and we held a right to be to until oppression and invasion and war drove us to the assertion of a second independence; The sovereign State proclaimed it by her Convention, and by a majority of more than 100,000 votes at ihe polls. She.

has seceded from the old and established a new Confederacy. She has commanded and we must obey her voice. I come to execute her commands to hold out the olivo branch to her true and peaceful citizens to repel invasion from abroad, and subdue treason only at home. Come to tho caU of the country which owes you protection as her native sons. Henry A.

Wise, Brigadier-General. News from General Cox's brigade, received at the Capital this morning, states that on the 15th it was Red House, thirty-one. miles from the mouth of of the Big Kanawha. They expected them to reach Charleston on the IGlh. There had been some picket skirmishing on the march, but "nobody hurt" MOVEMENTS OF GEN.

JI'DOWELL's FORCES ARRIVAL AT FAISFAX SKIRMISHING. cf the Clcclnniii Gazette. Washington, July 17. Official dispatches from Gen. McDowell stars that a large number of our troops are in Fairfax and some encamped three miles beyond.

The enemy flei so fast that they left their provisions behind. One officer and three men of our forces were wounded in skirmishing. Wasiiiuotox, July 17, 10 P. M. The advance skirmishers of tho Grand Army entered Fairfax Courthouse and found tho enemy had fled.

Official dispatches to Gen. Scott, received tonight, state that the main division of the troops occupy Flit Hill and Arrandale, but three miles from Fairfsx. Gen. Mansfield has a dispatch that several regiments of Federal troops are in Fairfax. Tbe rebel camp was surprised a mile northwest of Fairfax by skirmishers.

Thinking it was the advance of the main body of the National troops, they burned their tents, left some baggage, and retreated. It is the opinion here, in official quarters, that tho enemy will make a decided stand only at Manassas Junction. There is every indication that the movement toward Manassas will be made by Saturday. Congress will not adjourn this week. The Tariff bids fair to elicit much debate, as also the Army bill in the Senate.

But few visited Congress to day the people remaining in the streets and hotels, amid much excitement, awaiting news frcm Fairfax. The streets presented great changes, being free from soldiers for the first time in nearly three months. A messenger from Gen. Patterson to the Department, reports that he broke camp yesterday and proceeded to march on Winchester, where Johnston is stationed. Corretpoadecce cf th; CjKinuti CosmercUl- WAsniNoroN, July 17.

The city is excited by flying rumors about what the army lias done at and about Fairfax Court House, but nothing authentic is repoted at the War Department The War Department has been informed of the full occupation of Fairfax Court House this P. M-, by McDowell's command, with none killed and only four wounded. The rebels ran swiftly. They were South Carolinia and Georgia troops. Our army captured a large amount of stores and army equipage.

Correspondence of th: New Yori ITera'd. Wasuincitnn, July 17. At one o'clock all the enemies works in the neighborhood of Fairfal, as far as Centreville, were attacked, meeting witli no response. The barricades were easily surmounted and the road cleared of trees which had bjen felled, delaying the advance but a few minutes. At a steep hill there were stationed 200 rebel cavalry, who, without waiting to ascertain the strength of the advancing force, upon ths first appearance of our skirmishers.

They found a fortification about half a mile from the Court House, consisting of a simple entrenchment extending about 400 yards each side of the road. It was pierced for eight guo3. This had been occupied lor about three weeks bv the 2d and 3d South Carolina regiments under General Bon-ham. In approaching this point our skirmishers had a brush with those of the rebels, in which one man received a lleah wound and a rebel officer was cap tured. The advance of Burnside's brigade reached the fortifications in time to make one prisoner, a South Carolina officer.

The command then proceeded to Fairfax. The rebel flag was still flying at the court house when the advance of the division with th band of the 1st Rhode Island Regiment playing national airs entered tbe village. It was taken down by some of the 2d Rhadc Island Regiment, and handed to Governor Sprague, and transmitted by bun to lijn. Aicuoweii as a regimental tropuy. cf the Xev York Work).

Washington, July 17. A court -r from Gen. Mc Dowells headquarters reports that toe army march ed early this morning for Centreville. Gen. McDowell said last night that he believed the Rebels would fight there.

It was reported that the Rebels under Gen. John ston are endeavoring to efluct a junction with Ueau regard. Federal scouts report 30,000 to 40,000 Rebels at Centreville and Manassas. Germantown. July Tbe first division of the Grand Army, under Gen.

Tyler, commenced moving at half-past five this morning. About a mile from the villaga a heavy obstruction was discover. ed in the road. In les3 than twenty minutes the whole ot the Damcaue was removed. Tho rebels abandoned their position as soon as Gen.

Schenck's colnmn commenced moving. Hnrtz Hill, some 2J miles West of Vienna, was reached, the enemy evidently still retreating. A tnicx piece of timber wa3 entered, in an opening of which tan- giDle evidence ot tnc nurry in wnicn me reoeis Had retreated was found in the shape ot a large number of blankets, pistols, guns, careens, tc. The coljmn was about pushing on, when scouts reported a battery ef several pieces Ies3 than half a mile ahead. Meanwhile the scouts came in and reported that he rebels had precipitately abandon ed the battery, and were retreating in haste.

ie enemy disappeared, and the entrenchments were entered and taken possession of by the skirmishers. The position was a strong one, and could have easily been defended. FAILURE OF UILL'S EXPEDITION. of the Cincinnati Quells. Wueelixo, July 17.

Through cowardice or imbecility. Gen. Hill permitted the escape of Garnett's fugitives near Oakland. They numbered about fifteen hundred and were exhausted, and probably would have surrendered without resisting. Hill's advance was within a mile and a half of thm, eager for the fray, when he suddenly ordered a countermarch, against the expostulations of officers and men.

He afterwards received strong reinforcements, and returned, but Gen. McClellan being disgusted with his operations, and fe iring dis aster, had ordered him to stop. The enemy being reinforced, and Hill having allowed the right opportunity to pass, should he meet disaster the fault will be his. Major Marcy goes to Washington as bearer of dispatche?

Jucbkon. Correipondence of the LDuIirllle Conner. St. Louis, July 1C I yesterday sent you some cheering news of the prowess of our bravo State troops. That information, as I told you, I knew to be reliable.

I have just been put in possession of a private letter, for the trntkof the contents of which I youch. You will see that the days of oppression and tyranny in this State are drawing to a close. The letter to which I refer is dated "Knob Noster, July 11," and states "I have jut concluded write, in order to contradict somo of tha falsehoods published in the He-publican in regard to the battle of Carthage and other movements or our btate troops. Ths statement that we bst COO men is false. The following, from tho pen of a doctor who wa3 in the fight, says "That the brave State troops met the Federals under Col.

Seigel's command unexpectedly, at about eight miles north of Curthajc. They were 2.500 Etrong. and having tho choice of ground, had planted their cannon in tho moat commanding position. Governor Jackson, with about twelve thousand men, of whom only about two thousand were armed, except with shot gun3, determined to givo them battle. He had only eight pieces of cannon, which he plantod as best ha could.

Seigel opened the fire on them, which wa3 kept up for eight hours, when our cavalry outflanked them and made a charge, which broke their ranks. The Federals then retreated in some confusion, our boys cutting off about seven hundred of their number, four cannon, and a great number of wagons, army supplies, and horses. A running fight was then kept up for eight miles to lartuage, our Doys catting them do wn along tho en tire route. When at Carthage, Col. Seigel made a I stand, but was routed, leaving 18 wagons of pro visions, camp equipage, mules, and ono wagon load of cates, pies, intended for a feast for tha Fed- erals after cleaning out.

our boys a good joke, but 'J badly spoilt. Our brars State uoop still charged were by eight ovcrtikinr them. They then frested for refreshments, which it may be imagined tbey wanted badly. On the following, Ben. 3fc-Culloch joined them with 6 000 Rangers, who followed the Federals on Saturday, the result of which has not been ascertained up to the time our messenger left; but as Gen.

Price, with ",000 men. was advancing on them fiool tie South of Cai. thage; they certainly captured the whole command. After our boys had cut off tho wing of the enemy with their four cannon, the best they had, they were compelled to cut them down before they would give up the guns. The cavalry, in which our Johnson boys played a conspicuous, part, charged on them, and iu rainy cases they would not surrender until tlicy were cut down.

Tha boys bad to ride up and cut their heads ulT. They got all Uicir principal officers, ono of whom refuted to surrender, shooting two of our men after being surrounded. They of course riddled Mm. Our State forc2s wero divided, but aro all to-r gether now, numbering not less than twenty thousand. McCulIochhad thirty-five hundred infantry about thirty miles back in Arkansas, who dcubtlets have entered the State before now.

Our arms, fifty tons in all, arc of the very best description. Mc-Culloach brought four fifty-pounders in with him, aud said be could knock Springfield to pieces In ten shots. I have no doubt Springfield is taken before now. Up to Sunday only ten of our boys had died. Forty-six of our men were wounded and killed.

We will come out all right yet St Louis must and shall bo relieved, if she cannot relievo herself. Our watchword is forward. The word retreat has been blotted out from our tactics. It is likewise currently reported on our streets, from various sources, that Springfield has actually been taken by McCuIIough, and that Seigel is now a prisoner. Some rumors are afloat of a train having been run off the Pacific track last evening.

Be this as it may, some dead bodies of soldiers wero brought into tho arsenal. Some of them were in tho Zouave uniform. Ncwn from TTasIilnitoti. Correiptn-ience ot the G'nelnnitl Coninercb! Wasulngton, July 17. It was profoundly dull here to-day.

The Senate occupied allday disputing about armv rations, horse, feed, in connection with the pay of army officers. The House had a skirmish about granting the corruption investigating committee power to investigate all contracts entered into by any of the Departments, in connection with this war. The House voted, by two-thirds majority, to give the committee full power, and to sit during the recess. Many Republicans kicked, and many more dodged. Pennsylvanians nearly all vted against the of course to shield Cameron.

Van Wyck, radical Republican, is Chairman of the of Investigation, and declared that contractors had plundered the treasury on a system of audacity and wickedness without paralleL He said, -not only here, but where he had thought nothing but honesty and patriotism existed, in Cincinnati, there was a contract executed for hats at fifteen dollars a dozen, when they could be bought in our market for ten. The House spent the remainder of the day over the tariff bill, but did nothing. No adjournment probably this week. Conflicting- Keporls. R'cnuoxD, July 17.

Tlte C.outckt for novernor-How It I Vlowcd In tUc Aortli. Gallatin, July 10, 1861. Eds. Union and American: I have just been shown a private letter from Southern Michigan, in whieh the writer utters a sentiment in relation to our Gubernatorial election that conveys a just warning to the people of Tennessee. The writer of the letter referred to is unfortu nately among the many relatives whom Tennessee-ans now have in the North, who tre making war upon then.

lie says "The people of the South are not a. unite for the Confedera'Ai Government. This you dare not deny. In your on-n State, the people have been driven into the vortex of secession by unscrupulous and Jyraa-ical secession rule, and I havo no doubt many a sigh goes up daily for the old Union and its restoration. The Eastern Division of the State is separated from you unless a reaction speedily takes place and of this there are, as you must confess, many evident signs.

What means your contest for Governor The man who is opposing the present incumbent, is the champion of "the Union canse in your State, and will not his election turn things topsyturvy with you, or at least set them to rights again We confidently believe that ceukl the people of the South have free elections again, would, in the short space of two years at least, over throw their Eecezsion leaders, and come back to the old Union with the fondness of former days. The election of Wm. II. Polk, and the displacement of that arch traitor, Ishara G. Harris, (which we fervently pray for) will be one important step towards this desired end.

We would much prefer that the Southern people come back to the Union by a reactionary movement on their own part, than by It is hardly necessary to comewnt on thU. It is sufficient to show how the election of CoL Polk would be understood and received by the North. It would embolden them to a more vigorous prosecution of the war, and be taken for granted as an indication of a reaction and a Union sentiment in Tennessee. It is not only important that this result should be defeated by the re-election of Gov. Harris, hut that there should bo no division in Lis re-election.

In tho name of all that is sacred let the pople rally as one man to the support of their present Executive, whieh will show an unqualified Indorsement of Tennessee's position. C. PUBLIC. ACTS OF USNXESSEE" Pubiisncd by Authority. An Act to Iitcalxla Proceeding! In Higlstrate' Coartt.
