The Daily Journal has now attained a circulation of between 1600 and 2,000 copies daily. It reaches all polnMgfboth sides the nver between Louisville and the mouth, and has a fair circulatioa up Green River. It is hardly necessary to suggest to advertisers that they should avail themselves of this large circulation. It is true the times are hard, but it is just as necessary, in fact a little more so, to secure good customers now as ever. If advertising is profitable when business is lively and advertisements numerous, it certainly Ought to be equally so when business is doll, and advertisements soliciting custom scarce.

Army Correspondence. Rich Vaubt, Va. July is, 1861.

Editors Jocbnal: Un Thursday tbe '.Federal troops met the reutls at Rich Moun tain, soma thirtv miles distant from this place. Our regiment made i forced march to for two days in oracr mat we lnignt participate in the fan, and arrived at this en"c,Palp ( , campnsent in the morning at 9 o clock, we j i were ordered to hold ourselves in readinesd j ; for action, which we did, and at about 1 o'clock we heard the sound of musketry, and could see the smoke, and occasionally some of the belligerents, from oar stand point. We were drawn up in line, all eager for a "band," and stood taere awaiting orders until night, ft which time we were orjerej t0 our quarters, with instructions - 1 . gieep upou our ai iu-j Great excitement prevailed during the entire evening and ! night. None knew the result, and all were ; anxious to hear. It was supposed, however, , that there was only a cessation of hostilities until morning. When daylight appeared ; we saw a white flag hoisted in tbe rebel ! camp, and also the Stars and Stripes waving over their battery. Such a shout went j up as has not been heard for many a day. We, were.immedtately ordered to loaa our teams and prepare for a march, and in twenty minutes were on the rus! in pursuit of those who bad fled. We passed immediately through the late rebel-camp, which gave us an opportunity ofseeiBg the works. The first thing we saw was a deep ditch, dug on the side of the mountain, with three cannon mounted, commanding the road, so that 50,000 men could not have -ipproached. A little further on was their encampment, surrounded at all accessible points with breastworks, which must have cost them much labor. Immediately behind these works were their tents, camps, wagons, horses, &c. Here we found large numbers of horses, mules, wagons, gortfc of every description, swords, pistols, aud array stores in possession of our troops. A little further on, we fouud a splendid brass cannon, and a mile or so further we came to the main b.utle ground. The first appearance of a battle was blood in the road, but we Boon arrived at the hill where our soldiers were burying the dead, and caring for tha wounded. Hera sights were seen that I hope I may never witness again. Whon- I arcirud our men had brought most of the dea l -and wounded in, and had dug long ttt.n'ios, into which the dead were thrown,' on top of each other, with their clothes on, and many of them with Their eyes open, presenting a most frightful appearance. They were mostly yanag men, and many of them mere boy. Our people buried one bnndred and fifteen of the enemy, and it was supposed thai all were not found. The wonnded numbered tome four or five hundred, many of whom have died since. On our side we buriad fourteen, and the wounded numbers ! soialie forty or fifty. We took between one B'.d t vo hundred prisoners, some three huiif!;- and fifty horses, all the wagons, camp rr . rfs !:: pieces of brass cannon,, ft- .uenso amount of ammnnitioa iu., . fsj ;-k everything they had, which was not a little, I assure you. The rebelt had selected tbis spot as being the strongest in Western Virginia, and had spent w. ck; in its fortification, and ' were sure that it could not be taken. Our boys cut a roa-1 around them, scaled the mountains and precipices until titey got in their fear, and t tie result was as above stated. The battle was spirited and lasted til! dark, at .which time a heavy rain came up, and hostilities ceased There must have bpen some four thousand of the rebel-1, judging from the encampment, and from trbat the prisoners -say, all of whom got ot Under cover of nigbt, th-roagh defiles in the mountains, except those who were taken in the regular engagement. Had there been two hour3 more daylight, we would have had them all as prisoners. We had some three thousand men engaged, many of whom were in pcsitirms that they, could do notbiog. The 8th and 10th Indiana Regiments did the work, and a prouder set of fellows you never saw. After we got through burying the daad, we pushed on after the rebels as fast as possible, bnt they were too badly scared to be overtaken. We ha-re driven them across the Alleghanies, and where they will next be found is uncertain. Since we left Bucktannon, a little town some forty mires west of this, we have scarcely seen any of the people at all. They have been told that we were murdering women and children and laying the country in waste, consequently upon our approach they run like scared dogs. At Beverly, a beautiful town of some 1,200 inhabitant county seat, there were not more than three families, the day after the battle, and those that were there expected to be murdered and the town burnt up. The inhabitants 'had taken such of their goods as they conid carry and fled to the mountains, leaving the balance as they supposed to be destroyed or taken off by us. In one house I saw the bread in the tray ready for baking which was left, together witb many otber articles ttiat I tbave no doubt will be useful to fhe owners. Poor deluded people ; tbw'y will be astonished when they return to find everything just as they left It. Such as we could Bee and talked to, we assured, that we were not stealing nor murdering hut wejinl v after those who were in rebt-'liorlBgainst the government. One old laoy had got the most of her goods irr. hni w-ta. had failed to get away heraelf, caTuie to me with tears ui hex eyes and hjggec Uiat sbhhouid not be hurt and that Hf? no Bejflv.'v ry tine one, should be spfcrgi, an'dHfseemed to be astonished when sire was told that neither herself nor her property nor any one else would be molested ; that if wt got anything we would pay for it We left Beverly, as we found it, except that the few people who were there had a better opinion ot us than wjen we came. r Our trip on yesterday, was a repetition of the scenes in Beverly. No one was to be seen ; houses and farms were left without any one to seer to tbem, all of which were passed without molestation. At Hottonsrille, three miles beiow us, there was but one old man left. Here there- was a very Eoe bridge across a stream, which we found burned down, and detained us perhaps an hour. Here we captured a secession flag, which was found under a honse. We have captured a great many such, consequently an incident of this kind is little tbought of now. We have beron a forced march for five days, and at 12 o'clock last nigbt we received orders to be in line this morning at 4 e'cluck, with twt- days' rations. The cooks wera set to work, and at four we were ready, and were informed that there was a strong force of rebels ten miles Bust, at which point a fight was expected. Although the dUtauce was only ten mile?, tbere was not an macer wco could say, to a certain!, ma. J u . - . L . . . 1 ' . . . , reaiuicnts, after being undt r arms five bourg, in camp, awaiting the word to start, were ordered to march. We went off in fine

spirits, expecting to find the eermy to a certainty, bit lo and behold, after a march of ten mile, in quick time, -the entaw distance up Cheat mountain, tb eaetrfy had gone 24 hours. We had left our ifigotis in " camp, and the only thins we could do was

return. Every man wa9 as mad as he . mucin. iv ui uu; uu ku wjtbout knowing what vrer doing. ! As for mvself, I no doubt vould have t, cje, "0,,t j feU tba, couIa Bot do the occasion justice, consequently 1 made it ap i by looks. When General Beauregard instructed bis soldiers not to shoot at the officers for the reason thai they were much leas dangerons j than the men, he do doubt was correct, and although we have just achieved one of the j most successful victories in the annals of j histoty I have ne dout the same itdvice i would' applv to a very large number of the j ornrers in this brigade. GeneraS McCltllan is undoubtedly a good officer and understands bis business and U is posRible there may be a few otber good officers in the brigade, but my opinion is, they are few and far between. Should this brigade ever be disgraced, I assure you that it will be the fault of the officers and not of the men, for a braver set of men can not I be found. Men without any ..military quaii- j fl cat ions, whatever, Bave 6eeo plarerl fflMtb.l' high arid row "positions, the most of whom i now know it ..'., isithout any studht or expertnce whatever. At-tbeame time, mac y of ; those same men can not take a squad of ten J men and driii lueui, much leSa"V TegTmCEt j or company. There are however a few j goou omcei -, Lneu v no urc uui Munuicu iu learu men who read and drill with their men. Such men if they were not officers at the start, are now, or soon will be. The Crescent City boys are all well and eager for a fight, and will make their mark. When you will get this is uncertain as we have no mails. W. Indiana and Ohio Brigadiers. The operations of the Ohio Generals are not of that brilliant description if we except McClellan calculated to mafoniah a world. General Schenck has immortalized himself by dumping his men ou: of railroad cars into a masked lattety, and,g$Ucg them out of the scrape by marching up and down the lines with eword drtwn, repeating, with tragic air, " Ohio el;pects every man to do his duty." General Cox, en the Kanawha, appears to be conducting affairs ou n similar seals of grandeur. He has succeeded, by a system of brill. ant maneu vers, in sacrificing several men before a masked battery, anddn losing a lot of Colonels, Captains, and Lieutenants, who probably have been captured by the enemy, or killed. Indiana, hitherto has bad only on Brigadier in the field, but he is worth dozens of such unfledged officers as Cox and Schenck have proved themselves to be. Brigadier General Morris has done more work than any officer in the field, and has committed no blunders. All of his operations have been conducted with a foresight, prudence, and dispatch which are irresistible. The surprise at Philippi, the march to Laurel Hill, and the pursuit and capture of Garnett's army, all stamp him as a first class military officer, and he will undoubtedly take rank witb the very best of onr American Generals. Governor Morton; in placing General Morris at the head of the Indiana volunteers, manifested a judgment for which the people of the State will give him great credit. We feel confident that Gen. Reynolds, the newly appointed Brigadier General, will also prove the right man in the right piaoe. Educated at West Point, cool and thoughtful, Gen. Reynolds will not be guilty of any Great Bethel or Vienna mistakes. As lodiauians, we feel proud of our troops, and, as a general thing, proud of our officers, Indiana had better, we think, contract with President Lincoln to croBb. the rebellion anil close the war within reasonable lensrth of time. At any rate, if he will give Indiana and Illinois the job of opening the Mississippi to its mouth, and chastising the rebels in Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans, we guarantee that it will be done quickly and completely. Wi-ib such men as Indiana now has in the field, Geo. Fremont would opeu navigation on the Father of Waters in a verv few month. News -rom RicHiioNn, via Owbksbobo. Tire Owecsboro Democrat of the 17th, contains letters from Richmond, dated July 7th.

Ad occasional copy of a Southern j.jurna find? its way "North, by which it are enabled lo mark tbe success of the contemplated " cotton loan." A late number of the Aberdeen (Miss.,) Conservative, gives the result of a meeting held in that town, for the purpose of subscribing to the loan. The Conservative 3ays : The meeting was i ?ry large and enthusiastic, camming of abeut fifteen men all told. We regret tbsmt sickness prevented our being preseut, hut we have been told that the enormous amount of shall we tell it ? will not every citizen, true to the South, possessing even the least spark of patriotism, blush lor shame for old Monroe county, that makes full forty thousand bales of cot ton per annum, that her planters exhibit such a picayuuish principle that they will IUV il'OTf CCU IJJC VUC-lUt tiCIU J)EIX. Ul lit! bountiful yield to this noble cause? It is true, though we blush to aay it, that only eight hundred bales of cotton wera given in tbe purchase of Confederate bonds. The Conservative follows in an article of great length, deprecating the lukewarmness of tbe planters and people of Monroe, and charging that they care nothing whether the Confedernte army is Victorious ui defeated. It say a to them : You have proved yourselves to be penurious close fisted Shilocks, who place a higher value npon the almighty dollar than you do upou your country or God. Tbe Aberdeen paper says: Yes, it is actually a shame and a disgrace to ' Old Monroe," that it should be said that her wealtlff p'.auters, men of iufluence and wealth, wiH'atand by and see her country ali.5 -her soldiers, who have gone forth to hjiht her battles, suffer for want of their pecuniary assistance, while they coolly place their gold iu their inouied vaults, boarded there for what purpose ?

But to purchase the property of the poor man arid soldier, who has gone forth, sacrificing all comforts and pleasures. enduring tue -nardeat oi'-tmrdsbipa, and if treed oe, to die fighting lo'rtbe good of tiis country, and to protect your property, while you hoard your gold for tbe purpose of pur. chusing the property of these poor men, when it is sold under the hammer of the officer, at a price not over one-tenth ita value. We have heard of numbers of you publicly avowiog this much on the streets. It is a shame and a disgrace, and such men are unworthy the name of Southern men. They have no patriotism, and they dare not deny if. Neither can the fact be concealed, no matter how much they profess to the contrary, thai they bare net the good of their Country at heart. Gentlemen planters, we have alreai rea-iv am spread tbis article to a greater length we intended, but in conclusion we will say, that it is our intention, aVsome future day, to publish the n-tnes of rvefy planter in this county who t;ives a bal' -of cotton to this noble cause, together with tbe amount of his annual lncrate ; and in the opposite column, under the head of Blstck Lilt, we aha!" pubirrh tbe name of every piaauer in t the county, who does not give tp tt, togetuer with the amount of bis annual Income, a .d shall keep said article arandiag from week to week, thrm holding them, up to tbe just scorn aud indignation of-a disgraced communitv From all t uis, it ia evident that if tbe planters will not volunHrjly consent to give their crops to the Dana orernmftnt, they are to ue uriveo n .jr luirsia ssu ITUimi datfon.

gth A latter in the New Hairmony AdTtrtbjcr f Baturdaj ,- rom Robert Dale Own, K-iqn gives an account of ' . purchase of arms, made by him for the State. He bat secured in all, 4,300 rifle; of these 1,300 are cavalry carbines. Mr. Owen Jays that Col. Baker's cavalry regiment will b armed in the most effective mau.ir ; eaj b man with a Burnside carbine, a revo'.v-t, and light regulation sabre. It will consist of twelve companies, of seveuty-niue each ; in all 943 men hesides the staff officers. Mr. Owen says : " It is desirable that it should obtain its horses and accoutrements, and he mustered into the service at the very earliest day.1' Tha entire equipment of this regiment, including horses, horse accoutrements, and uniform And arms, will cost little short of a quarter of a million. Its arms alone cost istjr thousand dollars. It is to be arme l at the expense of the Si- te. But 'lf yithdrawn from Indiana, the GdBsral -Government is to repay to her the cost of its arms.

A Cincinnati cotemporaiy relates tba following instance of the tricks of smugglers to furnish the rebels with articles contraband of war: At the Ohio and Mississippi 'dejot -in Saturday night Mr. Carson saw a couple ot persons whose facial appearAuces betrayed' temperaaient not in looping with those indicated by the extreme rotundity of their bodies. The Collector being somewhat of a physiologist and a tolerably shrewd man withal, determined to investigate this apparent " freak in nature " and arresting the obese twain, caused thrm to be searched, whereupon it was discovered that each of them wore in additkn to bis ordinary oiothing a garment consisting of two military belts. In tbe possession of one a guitar box was discovered, and as its owner didn't look like a maa who had music in bis soul, it was opened by the official dignitaries and found to contain three handsome swords, worth $30 each. The enterprising individuals feeling that they had been outdone in their contemplated game, acknowledged that the' goods found with them were destined for the South via Louisville. " What are you going to do, you bad woman's boy ?': said Mrs. Partington, as Ike dashed through the kitchen into the garden. " Down with tha Seceshers !" he shouted, and she looked out just iu time to see the top of a weigehlia bush tail before tha artillery aword of Paul, that the youngstar held iu his hand. " You'd better go to Molasses Jugtion, if you want to do. thai," she said, restraining his band, as it was lifted against her favorite fucbsiaready to decapitate tbe plant thai hesbad watched with almost a mother's care for tbree winters. " Dear me 1" she murmured half to herself, " what a terrible thing war is, when even the children show such signs of consanguinity, and brother is pitted against brother, I can't bear to think of it. Isaac, dear, go down and buy me an extradition of the paper." Ike departed witb a half dime, and from the fact that no change came back, Mrs, Partington supposed the price was raised. Boston Gazette.
