CAIRO, Oct. 23.

A gentleman who arrived at Paducah to-day, from Memphis, reports that the arsenal and cannon fonndery at that place was entirely destroyed by lire, a few daj's since. it is reported that a portion of the forces at Columbus Ky. under Polk had been sent to New Orleans and Mobile. There are 10.000 rebels at Columbus.

sudden stoppage of navigation

on the Potomac produced a commotion among the shipping at Mathias Point, and their fate is yet uncertain. It is believed that the government will speedily take effectual measures for clearing away the obstructions to permit the free passage of vessels on the river.

Col. Steele, of the 43d, at Torre Haute, has issued and ordered a thorough examination into the recent disturbance at that place, which resulted in the destruction of the Journal office.

Comforts for our Soldiers. The ladies of Crawfordsville and vicinity arc still industriously engaged for the comfort of Indiana's soldiers. They have already collected, manufacfactured, and shipped to the State •Quartermaster, for distribution, 117 blankets, 111 pair socks, flannel shirts, a, lot of drawers, mittens, &C. Their humane and patriotic exertions will not ceasc until old Montgomery has done her full part in this good work.

It will be seen elsewhere in this issue, that the ladies met at Temperance Ilall on Tuesday last, and fully organized a "Union Aid Soeicty," by the election of officers, and appointment of a committcc for the preparation of work for the coming winter. The object of this Society, as will be seen from the proceedings of the first meeting, is to manufacture flannel shirts, drawers, &c., and to furnish such extra clothing as is actually necessary for the comfort of our sick soldiers. Wo trust every lady of the county will feel it her especial duty to lend a helping hand in this praiseworthy undertaking. The next meeting will be held at Temperance Hall, on to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.

CEAWFOKI)SV1LLE, Oct. 19, 18G1. HDITOH JOI'KNAL—Sir: The following communication from Rev. John L. Smith to the Lafayette Journal, is a sufficient apology to the public, (if any is required.) for the determination on my part to do nothing more, at least for the present, in the way of organizing a company for his regiment.

R. D. UTTER.

KOTICE TO CAPTAI3\S. On the 16th of September I was authorized by the proper authority to raise a regiment of moral and religious men for the war, in the State ot Indiana, without restriction as regards locality or district.

On the 1st of October I was authorized to rendezvous companies of not less than fifty at Camp Morton, on and after October 7th.

On the 4th of October, by special order of the Adjutant Genera!, I was prohibited from raising recruits in this Congressional District, until the 40th regiment should be filled.

On the 11th of October the Adjutant informed one of my captains that Gov. Morton only authorized me to raise a regiment after the 40th should be completed.

On the 7th of October I gave notice that we would strictly observe the special order, hoping and believing that the necessity of its existence would be but temporar}'.

Having, however, with great detriment and loss, waited till now for some change orsuspcnsion,and all thefriends of the regiment having been kept in suspense as long as they can well bear it, and being still required to wait indefinitely, I have concludcd to suspend all further effort toward raising the proposed regiment until spring, giving to our friends of the 40th the full benefit of the time to complete their numbers.

This notice is to all concerned, and especially to the following captains who have reported companies and parts of companies to me for my regiment, viz: Capt. Roback,

Capt. Brock, Unruh, Martin,

Gilkey, Nay lor, McCarty, Utter, Lee, -Miller, Ferris, Johnson, Molloway, Bryan

MeCloud, Warnock, Gordon, Hogan, Noyes, Cosncr, Hamilton. Workman.

You, gentlemen, and the brave men who had united their destiny with Ouio, arc now left to your own election as to who shall lead you to the field of conflict. I trust, however, that this disappointment will not in the least degree dampen our ardor in our country cause, and I trust further, that the time may yet come wlipn we shall have the opportunity of proving that moral men are not the less reliable on that account in their country's servico ,J

E/ETTER FROM DR. T. W. FR*.

PADUCAH, KV., Oct. 18, 1?61.

*En. JOURNAL Our little army is still resting quietly at Paducah, throwing up breastworks, building block-houses, making stockadcs, mounting cannon, breaking mules, and ever and anon creating a panic paragraph as to attacks upon us and our capture by the rebels. We have had somo Memphis papers that give exact, accounts of our numbers, operations, provisions, stores and all our equipments. Rebels have been allowed to visit our camps, examine our works, pass out and make full reports to the cneni3T. There arc few of our own men who have so accurate a knowledge of our strength and position as they publish in Memphis. It is only within a few da}*s that more stringent rules have been adopted and enforced. No citizen can now pass the lines who refuses to take the oath of allegiance. I happened at headquarters a few days ago when the Sheriff of this county came in for a tss llu was asked to take the oath, but refused, saying he had taken it when sworn into oflice had lived up to it, and expected to do so in future. His only objection was that it would imply that he had not complied with his oath heretofore. The Adjutant refused the pass he then applied to Gen. Smith, who replied, with emphases and an oath, that he should not leave Paducah, and I added he ought to be imprisoned. The truth is, he had violated his oath and had aided the rebels not only in securing arms and provisions, but in raising recruits. His refusal did more to destroy confidence than anything he could have done. The devil of secession was visible in his eountcnancc, prompted every movement, dictated cveiy emotion and controlled his entire being.— lie who now refuses to swear allegiance to this government for fear of being suspected of disloyalty is either a fool or a rebel.

It really seems strange to see the o-allant Kentuckians walking up in squads to ask for a pass from Undo Sam, to go to their homes. It tickles Sambo, who seems to relish the idea of Massa getting a pass to leavo town.— .Most of the slaves from this region have been taken South, their masters fearing they would be confiscated by the Federal troops. My own impression is that every slave belonging to secessionists in actual rebellion should be confiscated. Nor do I believe that peace will ever smile on our country, calmly and pleasantly as in days of vore, until the power of the institution is entirely gone. Thousands of slaveholders would willingly give up their slaves for peace, but violent and devilish demagogues now control the masses and the voice of reason is hushed

destructive influence of this war on the South no man can estimate. Aside from the thousands and tens of thousands who will fall in battle and die of disease, the whole land will become a desolation their cotton cannot be well saved, nor if saved could it be transported without rope and bagging Dread, vegetables and fresh meat may be had, but the luxuries will all be cut off, their commerce destroyed, the value of slaves lessened, and they will forever lose the monopoly of the cotton market, so long enjoyed. Every breezo seems laden with evils, and every passing cloud drops upon them the waters of bitterness.

The bridge across the river is again completed. The entrenchments around the Marine Hospital arc nearly ready for mounting the cannon. We have taken the Court ITouso, a very large and commodious building, for a General Hospital. A severe form of camp fever has prevailed for the last month, and quite a number have died. The number of cases in our regiment has very much diminished no new ones for several days past. .There is nothing new to write aboutj but I know that the many friends we have left behind will be glad to see an occasional lino, and therefore I write. When the Journal and Lafayette Courier reach me, every word is read, even some of the advertisements.

In conclusion, allow me to say that eggs are very scarce and secesh prices very high. The butter is very bad, 1 ird to got, viio to taste, and worse to keep on the stomach. If any of the old farmers of Montgomery have more butter than they can use or sell, and if their hens arc kind enough to furnish them with more eggs than are needed for home consumption, a box of each forwarded to Paducah to your humble correspondent will receive the hearty thanks of his entire mess, consisting of Quartermaster Pope, Surgeon J. C. Thompson and Drum Major John McAuloy, all of whom are in good health and enjoy good appetites. We are about making a similar requisition on Indianapolis and TerreHaute. Rotten eggs at 25 cents per dozen, and rancid butter at 30 cents per pound for poor soldiers seems rather hard, docs it not Mr. Editor?

Capt. Elston was thrown from his horse a few days ago, but not seriously hurt. One leg was slightly bruised, but it did not stop him from duty. The" fall rains have set in the weather is

very unpleasant, and unless a move southward is made very soon, the roads will be impassable, and our »»v inter quarters will be very little if any south of thiy. Truly,

SECRETARY SEWARD'S CIRCULAR.

Tlic Fortifications of our Sea and Lake Coasts.

The following important circular has boon addressed to the Governors of all the States on the seaboard and lakes:

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 1861.

To his Excellency the Governor of the State of SIR The present insurrection had not even revealed itself in arms when disloyal citizens hastened to foreign countries to awake their intervention for the overthrow of the Government and tho destruction ofthe Federal Union. These agents are known to have made their appeals to some of the more important States without succcss. It is not likely, however, that they will remain content with such refusals. Indeed, it is understood that the}' are industriously endeavoring to accomplish their disloyal purposes by degrees and by indirection. Taking advantage of the embarrassments of agriculture and manufacture and commcrce in foreign countries, resulting from the insurrection they have inaugurated at homo, they seek to involve our common countrv in controversies with States with which every public interest and every interest of mankind require that it shall remain in relations of peacc, amity and friendship. 1 am able to state, for your satisfaction, that the prospect for any such disturbance is now less serious than it has been at any previous period during the course of the insurrection. It is, nevertheless, necessary now, as it has hitherto been, to take every precaution that is possible to avoid the evils of foreign war, to be superinduced upon those of civil commotion, which we are endeavoring to cure.

One of the most obvious of such precautions is that our ports and harbors on the seas and lakes should be put in a condition of complete defense, for any nation may be said voluntarily to incur danger in tempestuous seasons when it fails to show that it has sheltered itself on every side from which the storm might possibly come.

The measures which the Executive can adopt in this emergency are such only as Congress has sanctioned, and for which it has provided.

The President is putting forth the most diligent efforts to execute these measures, and we have the great satisfaction of seeing that these efforts arc seconded by the favor, aid and support of a loyal, patriotic and self-sacrificing people, and ore rapidly bringing tho military and naval forces of the United States into the highest state of efficiency. But Congress was chicfly absorbed during its recent extra session with these measures and did not provide as amply as could bo wished for tho fortification of the sea and hike coasts. Jn previous wars the loyal States have applied themselves by independent and separate activity to the support and aid of the Federal Government in its arduous responsibilities.

The same disposition has been maintained in a degree eminently honorable b}' all the loyal States during the present insurrection. Jn view of this fact, and relying upon the increase and continuance of the same disposition on tho part of the loyal States, the President has directed me to invite your consideration to the subject of the improvement and perfection of the defense ofthe State over which you preside, and to ask you to submit the subject to the consideration ofthe Legislature, when it shall have assembled. Such proceedings by the State would require only a temporary use of its means.— The expenditures ought to be made the subject of conference with tho Federal Government. Being thus made with the concurrence ofthe Government for general defense., there is every reason lo believe that Congress would sanction what the State should do, and would provide

for

its reimbursement.

Should these suggestions be accepted, the President will direct the proper agents of the Federal Government to confer with you, and to superintend, direct and conduct the prosecution, of the sj'stem of defense of your State.

I have tho honor to be, Sir. your obedient servant, WM. H. SEWARD.

Old Postage Stamps.

Tho Third Assistant PostmasterGeneral, in reply to a Bostonian, who supposed that tho old postage stamps are repudiated by the government, says: '"The department docs not repudiate the old stamps. The instructions which have been issued to postmasters contemplated only a prevention of the use of nearly two hundred thousand dollars in value of postage stamps and envelopes for which the government

has

never been paid. It was a study how best to gain a national result without any or tholoast damage to individual interests, and yet it has been proved that theplan adopted was the best."

A Small Victory—Further from Fremont and Price. SYRACUSE, MO., Oct. 20.

It is reported that Acting Brigadier General Wyroan, who left Rollaseveral days since with five hundred men, has arrived at Linn Crock, 'where he dispersed a body of rebels, killing a considerable number and taking over two hundred prisoners. He captured^ 18 wagon-loads of goods belonging to McClurg & Co., a prominent union firm, whom the rebels had robbed.

Advices from Gon. Fremont are to 7 o'clock Friday night. He is still at Warsaw, and the pontoon bridge was to be finished Saturday.

Sigel's division had crossed the river. It was reported in camp at Warsaw that Price had been largely reinforced by McCulloch, and that their combined forces were fortifying Osceola, where they intended to give Fremont battle.

Correspondence between Great Salt Labe City and Washington. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.

Full accounts of the firing on the Resolute received state that she was delayed three-quarters of an hour by a chain stretched across the river, during which time one hundred and filty shots were tired at her. The schooner Fairfax being nearest to the battery, received at least fifty shots, when the rope connecting her to the Resolute parted, and she drifted near the,shore and was captured. No one wa^ hurt on board tho Resolute.

Seward's Circular—A Pleasant Excursion. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.

Surprise is expressed here at the misconstruction attempted to be put upon Secretary Seward's circular by alarmists. The circular shows that our relations abroad are in good condition and that the government means to keep them so. The administration has taken measures to put them right within, and now turns his attention

to putting them right without. It asks the co-operation of the loyal States in the latter as in the former.— The Secretary of State accompanied by the ministers from England, France and Spain had a pleasant excursion over the river, yesterday, visiting the fortifications. They afterwards attended the review at Arlington heights, passed by Munson's hill and returned at a late hour by waj* of the long bridge.
