DREW,...........ASSOCIATE EDITOR ======== A RICH HAUL.—The Surveyor captured a a large assortment of contraband goods on the Mattie Cook last evening. Among the goods was a large lot of army jeans, destined, we presume, to clothe rebel soldiers. Considerable bacon was also taken from the boat. ——<>——— Arrival or Specie. About $2,000 of Uncle Sam's gold arrived here last evening, having been forwarded by our gallant volunteers now in Missouri to their families in this city. Most ot the coin is of date 1861, and will gladden the eyes of a good many la our city. 'There was a rumor on the street yesterday, that (Jen. Rousseau's brigade, accompanied by one Indiana regiment, had passed into Kentucky, and been transported over the Nashville Railroad to Bowling Green, We presume the rumor is without foundation. flYesterday morning Elliott & Co., shipped the last of their saddles made for the cavalry regiments. It is ooe of the best jobs ever sent out of the State and is a credit to the mechanics of our city. "The Cairo correspondent of the Cin cinnati Qazette says some fifty rebel officers were in Paducah at the time Gen. Grants forces arrived, but made their escape on the approach of the fleet. It was the calculation to put about 4,000 rebels iu the city but Generals Pillow and Polk were a little too slow. The reception given to Ex-Governo Wright, on his return to his old home at Indianapolis, on Saturday evening, was one of the most enthusiastic erfstinga ,r- witnessed in the State. The Governor's speech was strong for the Union. He was in favor of abolishing the writ of habtas corpus, or anything else that endangered the safety of our Government. 'The following gentlemen, we under stand, have been selected as officers for the regiment now forming in this city : Jas. G. Jones, Colonel ; Charles Denby, Lieut. Colonel; and Jas. Shanklic Major. These gentlemen have taken hold with great vigor, and the regiment will soon be filled and ready for active service. Young men In Southern Indiana thus have another opportunity of enlisting in a regiment under the command of gentlemanly and efficient officers. We were shown yesterday, by the inventor, Mr. E. T. Wheeler, of Cannelton the models for a new style of breach-loading cannon. These models bave been submitted to the inspection of some of the most scientific men in the country, and the principles which they illustrate pronounced to be an improvement on any of the guns now in use. One of the models is for a small eannon, mounted on a carriage similar to a wheelbarrow, which is designed to be worked by one or two men. Mr. Wheeler isconfident it will throw a half pound ball a distance of two miles, and from the rapidity with which it can be loaded and fired, thinks It would prove one of the moet destructive weapons that could be taken on to a battle field. ———<>——— PRIZE CAPTURED.—On Sunday evening the gun squad chartered the steamer Lue Eaves, and started on a short cruise up the river. They returned yesterday, having captured the Owensboro ferry boat, with a large flat in tow loaded with salt. The prizes were landed in safety at the wharf, and the prisoners taken before Surveyor Robinson for examination. It appears that the salt—about 1,000 barrels—was the property of a Mr. Robinson of Louisville. He had obtained a permit of the Surveyor of that port to take the salt up Green river, but with instructions to report at this place, and have our Surveyor endorse the permit. Before the arrival of the salt, Surveyor Robins received notification that the salt was destined for the rebels. His suspicions were still further aroused by its non-arrival and he started the Eaves after the delinquent. The owner of the salt thought he would elude the vigilance of the government officials, but be was mistaken. ———<>——— Oue of the boys of WigcoD8in, In camp at Washington, writes ; We have no fear of another Bull Run; we know that McCllelan will mike no 8uch ball, or if he should, our boys will make no euoh ran. Mr. Liuci presented us. last even ing, with some ripe Pigs, raised in his garden, corner of First and Locust streets. Figs are good when preserved m fcl we like them when in that state . hut b, fore going through that process, they are not very pauwatile, to our taste, at least

——>For some time past, we have been

silent bat interested obser? ers of the movements of a small taction of the democratic party, which has been holding meetings iu various portions of the country, and passing most ambiguous resolutions. We havabeeu silent from a desire not to misjudge the motives of those participating in these meetings, and interested because we were anxious to learn what it is that the gentlemen who figure in them most prominently really want. John G. Davis, the editors of the State Sentinel and Vincennes Sun, and MrC. R. Radd, of this city, have been filling the public and private ear with complaints against the administration, charging it with being the cause of the war, and of manifest ing the most culpable favoritism in the distribution of its patronage, while at the same time they insist that they are for maintaining the Union and enforcing the provisions of the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof. The position these gentlemen assume is equivocal; so much so as to lay them l'able to a charge of inconsistency to say the least. If the Administration is guilty of the crimes charged against it, these gentlemen become parties to the crime, in aiding to carry them outt if they are honest in their professions. But when they pledge themselves " to the support of the governr. nt in the vigorous prosecution of the w ir now upon us," what do they mean by 'he term "support?" What kind of support is that which fills the ears of the people with assertions that the Administration is corrupt, extravagant and incompetent? Are our young men more likely to volunteer and place their lives in the hands of an Administration against whom such serious charges are made ? Are the monied men of the country more eager to place their means in the hands of the administrators of the government, after these " peace men " bave done their utmost to convince them that those who are to handle their money are " incompetent " and " corrupt?" These politicians, who are so "strong" for peace, must cease their efforts at prejudicing the public mind against "those in authority," or they must not complain wheu others adjudge them guilty of the most arrant hypocrisy when they assert that they pledge themselves to "support the government against internal as well as external foes' When a man says he is for the government but doeB all he can against it, it is fair to presume that he is insincere in his professions. It is not M-iVfsary to volunteer and take I up armb .v 'Hit,! the government to prove one's hooiiiitjr to it. Some men can damage it far more seriously by pretending friendship and allegiance, and tampering with those upon whose right arms and courageous hearts it leans for support. Had John G. Davis emigrated South, he would not bave been missed from the State, and hi; presence there would bave strengthened them but little; as it is, by migrating over the State, and scattering bis iofamou- falsehoods like firebrands in all sections, he has, we doubt not, persuaded hundreds of young men from taking up arms in defense of the starry flag, who would otherwise have gladly rushed to its support. So with others who have been equally prominent, m their particular spheres, in spreading suspicion, aud alienating confidence from those who must have it if the Government is preserved from ruin. It is gratifying to know that the great mass of the Democratic party, utterly repudiating every attempt to weaken the confidence of the people in the Government, are rallying to its support with a zeal aud energy that places Us ultimate triumph bevond a peradven; ure. Without stopping to enquire what is the politics uf him who hpvens to be President, it is enough tor them to know that their Government is assailed by rebels, to induce them to abandon their peaceful avocations and seize their arms in its defense. These men are patriots rather than partisans, aud will be so regarded by future generations who may chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor and sufferings G.v. McClbllam's War Pbbpa rations. We learn from a private source, worthy of credence, that Gen. McClellan, on last Tuesday morning, had fifty-sfx batteries of artillery, of six puns each, of various calibre, and about one hundred aud fifty thousand men, at and near Washington, and that bis army will be increased to at least two hundred thousand men before the end of the present week. The organization and drill of these troops are going forward with industry and care, and the deprreee of discipline already apparent in every company, regiment and brigade, is in the highest degree creditable to the officers and men, and promise great effectiveness in any future opperations that may be undertaken against the enemy. The movement of troops and everything j connected with the army preparations, are carefully kept from public knowledge, but i the facts above given, (to state which can do no barm now, but will gratify public interest), may be relied upon, coming, a they do, from one who knows whereof he speaks. Chicago Journal. Showinu It. Our secessionist? are unable to cover their tracks completely. At times they will step in places that leave a very plain track to show which way they are going. We discovered one the other day, very plain, though not very deep. At the secession meeting at Frankfort a short time ago, at which Bright's jackass, John G. Davis, made a speech, there attended from this city toe following gentlemen : H. H. Dodd, M. Fitzgibbon, W. H. Talbott, T. A. riendricks, J. R. Elder, and R. L. Walpole. Not a man of the six attended the meeting to prepare a resrption for Governor Wright. Tbey i-ould go twenty miles to bear and applaud a traitor, hut could not go fifty yards to do honor to a Union man and a patriot, though their former political leader and friend. This latter fact speaks just as plainly as Jesse B. Bright's letter to JerT.Davis.

The National Loan. ———

Appeal from the Secretary of the Treasury. Washington, Sept- 1, 1861. Your National Government, compelled by a guilty conspiracy, culminating in a causeless insurrection, is engaged in a war for the security of liberty, for the supremacy of the law, for the defence of the Unioi and for the maintenance of popular institutions. For the means to defray the necessary expenses of this war your Congress has directed that an appeal be made to you by opening a subscription to a national loan of $150,000,000. Already the enlightened and patriotic capitalists of the great cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston have manifested their clear sense both of duty and interest, by a subscription of fifty millions of dollars. Congress, under which this subscription was received, wisely provides, however, that the advantages, as well as the patriotic satisfaction of a participation in the loan, shall be offered, not to capitalists of the great cities only, but to the people of the whole country. In order to secure a substantial reward for their public spirit to those whose patriotism prompts them in this hour of trial to place their means at the disposal of the Government, Congress has directed that an interest of seven and three tenths per centum be paid on the several amounts subscribed, an interest not liable to State taxation, but constituting for subscribers a revenue not only certain in receipt, but greater in amount than can be expected from any ordinary investment. And, ".in order to afford all citizens equal opportunities of participating in these advantages, Congress has further directed that subscriptions be received for sums as small as $50, as well as large amounts, and that, should the subscriptions exceed the whole sum desired, the smaller be preferred in its distribution. Each subscriber, on payment cf his subscription, will be entitled to receive Treasury notes, equal in amount, whether of $50, $100, $500, $1,000, or $5,000. The interest, at 7 3-10ths per annum, will be, on the notes of $50, one cent, on $100 two cents, on $500 ten cents, on $1,000 twenty cents, and 5,000 one dollar each day. All the Treasury notes issued will bear dates on the 19th of August, 1861, and will carry interest from that date. Each note will have coupons attached expressing the several amounts of semi-annual interest, which coupons may be detached from the note, and presented for payment separately. Each subscriber may pay the whole amount subscribed at the time of the subscription, or, if he prefers to do so, may pay one-tenth, at that time, and one-third every twentieth day thereafter. At each payment, the accrued interest on the amount from the 19th of August, to the date of payment, must also be paid, and the amount of interest thus paid will be reimbursed in the payment of the first coupon. In order to secure, beyond peradventtire, the punctual payment of the interest, and the gradual reduction, of the principal, Coogress has provided a law for an annual revenue amply sufficient not only for these purposes, but for the prompt payment of all demands on account of extraordinary expenditures. It will be seen at a glance that not ouly is the whole property of the country pledged for the interest and final reimbursement of the loan, but that an adequate and specific proportion of the annual production is set apart by taxation for the redemption of this pledge. Prompt payment beyond a contingency Is thus insured. Nor can this taxation be thongbt great when compared with the magnitude of the objects of the contest, or the amount of property and production. Th? objects are Union, permanent peace and security at home and respect abroad, which are imperiled by this unprovoked rebellion. The intelligence of the people comprehends at once their magnitude. They rise above party they belong to no Administration they concern the whole country during all time, under every Administration, and in every relation, both foreign and domestic. And the means for the attainment of these great objects can be readily supplied from the property and productions of the country. The real and personal values in the United States reach the vast, aggregate of $16,000,000,000, and in the States now loyal to the Union this aggregate is 11,000,000,000. The yearly surplus earnings of the loyal people are estimated by intelligentpersona, conversant with such investigation, at more than $400,000,000, while the well considered judgment of military men of the highest rank and repute, warrant the confident expectation that if the war is prosecuted with energy, courage and skill, it may be brought to a termination before the close of the ensuing spring; iu which event the cost beyond the revenue will hardly exceed the amount of the $50,000,000 loan authorized by Congress, aud with a due economy in all branches of the public service, not more than the total expenditure of Great Britain or France in years of peace. Aud it is not unreasonable to hope that the auspicious result of peace ma;; be hastened by the reflection of the citizens of the States in insurrection, that they will review their actioo, weigh their own welfare, consider the disposition of the people of the whole country to recognize all their constitutional rights, to allow them their full share in the benefits of tho common Government, and renew their allegiance to the Tnion, which, in an evil hour, they have been tempted to throw off. Will they not reflect that the war into which the Government has been constrained is not a war for their subjugation, but a war tor national existence ; and that an auspicious result to the Union will benefit as largely the States in insurrsction as the States which have remained loyal ? However thi3 may be, the duty of the National Government, as the constitutionally constituted agent ot the people, admits of no question. The war made necessary by the insurrection, and reluctantly accepted by the Government, must be prosecuted with all possible vigor until the restoration of the just authority of the Union shall insure permanent peace. The same good Providence which conducted our fathers through the difficulties and dangers which beset the formation of the Union, has graciously strengthened our hands for the work of its preservation. The crops of the year are ample; the granaries and barns are everywhere full. The capitalist-it of the country come cheerfully forward to sustain the credit of the Government ; already, aud even in advance of this appeal, men of all occupations seek to share the honors and advantages of the loan. Never, except because of the temporary depression caused by the rebellion, and the derangement of business occasioned by it, were the people of the United States in a better condition to sustain a great contest than now. Under these favoring circumstances, and for these grand objects, I sbail, in pursuance of the act of Congress, cause books of subscription to be opened as speedily as

practicable, in the several cities and princi-

pal towns of the United States, in order that all citizens who desire to subscribe to i the loan may have an opportunity of doing so. Meanwhile, those who prefer that course can remit any sum which they may wish to invest in the loan, to the Treasury of the United States at Washington, or to either I of the Assistant Treasurers at Boston, New ; York, or Philadelphia, or St. Louis, or to the Depository at Cincinnati, where certifiI cates will entitle the holders to Treasury Notes on the terms already stated. The pati riotism of the people, it is not to be doubtj ed, will promptly respond to the liberal wisI dom of their representatives. S. P. Chass, Secretary of the Treasury. Brevities. The citizens of Indianapolis have deteri mined to bold a grand Union mass meeting ! in that city on the 1 7th inst., for the pur pose of commemorating the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. A committee of five was appointed to make the necessary arrangemen ts. There are now fifteen companies in Camp Vigo, near Terre Haute, comprising about eleven hundred and fifty men. The 31st Regiment, under the command of Col. Cruft. is to be organized out of this material. Hon. James S. Jackson, M. C. from the adjoining district in Kentucky, has issued a spirited call for a regiment of Kentucky cavalry, under the authority of the United States, to serve for three years or daring the war. The 26th Regiment was to leave Indianapolis for St. Louis on Saturday last. The 11th Regiment, Col. Wallace, left at twelve o'clock Friday night for the same destination. W. S. Hillyer, formerly of New Albany, has been appointed Aid to Gen. Grant, with the rank of Major. Fine peaches are selling in the New Albany markets for 40 cents a bushel. Last year they brought $4. Most excellent peaches have sold in our market at 20 cents per bushel. The Quartermaster in Cincinnati has purchased since the war broke out 4,500 horses aud 1,050 mules for the army. The mules were purchased within four days. Dr. Jumes Woodburn, of Indianapolis, has beeu elected Superintendent of the Hospital for the Insane, iu place ot Dr. Athon. Dr. Woodburn is a gentlemau excellently calculated for the position. The 29th Regiment, at Fort Wayue, is filling up rapidly. Eleven companies are now in camp, of which six are fuli and five partially so. Another terrible figbt occurred at McLeansboro, Ills., last Wednesday, in which a notorious Secessionist, named Cbes. Carpenter, was killed by a man named Smith. One or two concerned in the fight were badly wounded. Smith made his escape. A Geeat Deai 1st a Small Spacs. The Boston Post, the leading democratic journal of New Enr land, defines its position in the following admirable terms : We believe the President is endeavoring to meet the crisis in a manner according to his sense of justice and that, however much we may differ from him in the details of his labor, it is our duty to ardently support the principal measures taken by the government to suppress the rebellion. We may suggest aud advise detect and expose errors and frauds but we conceive it is the first obligation of every patriotic citizen to do all in his power to nerve the arm ot the administration in us struggle to sustain thu Union and observance of its laws. It appears to be the geueral impression, without relet mice to party prejudice, that two or three changes could advantageously be made i t tbe Cabinet ; but if these cannot be e fleeted, we must do as well as we can with the material at hand, and abate not a jot in the great work necessary to bring tbe present contest to a successful and speedy conclusion. To speak plainly and boldly of evident mistakes and abuses, will teach caution to the imprudent end check the unscrupulous ; but while we do this, we should abale nothing in our exertion to afford every attribute of power the official authorities of tbe nation are capable of exercising in restoring the country to peace. There is a momentuous issue at stake it is life or death to the Republic and in view of its importance, all other questions for tbe time being are dwarfed iuto insignificance. Therefore, whether the method taken to accomplish the end essential to our existence, or the agents selected to achieve it, be always agreeable to us or not, we should endeavor to use the best means allowed us to advance the main cause, and to sustain its instruments in all their commendable exertions for the public welfare. OFFICIAL. LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES Passed at the First Session of the Thirtyseventh Congress. Public Rbsolution No. 3J Resolvei by the Senate and ilou.ee of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That a joint commute of both Houses wait on tbe President of tbe United States and request that he recommend a day of public humiliation, prayer, and fasting, to be observed by the people of the United States with religious solemnity, and the offering of fervent supplications to Almighty God for tbe safety and welfare of these States, his blessings ou their arms, and a speedy restoration of peace. Approved, August 5, 1861. Opinions about Learninh to ShootToe Position. A Maryland correspondent j asserts that twenty years' experience and j observation have taught him, that any person may become a good shot by observing the following directions: Allow the rifle to hang in the hands in an easy manner, declined at an angle of about forty degrees ; then raise it steadily and quickly in a line I with the object, the eye ranging carefully over the sights ; and at the instant tbe object aimed at is covered, touch the trigger. He says : I find there is a moment in which tbe gun is absolutely still that is the instant the upward movement of it is arrested. These directions observed will certainly make p. good shot. If the sight Is iost at tbe first trial, it can be recovered by a second. Any deviation from this rain is fatal to accuracy.

A SECESSION VIEW OF GENS. BEAUREGARD

a vd Johnston. A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune, writing from Manassas, records his impressions of Generals Beauregard and Johnston as follows : I bave bad tbe pleasure of seeing General Johnston. He looks like a General. He is five feet eight or nine inches in height, good form, very erect, handsome face, thick moustache and beard, somewhat sprinkled with white. His hair is slightly gray. His organs of veneration and benevolence are extremely large, and his eyes very full and large. He should talk well and fluently. He has the decided advantage over General Beauregard as far as appearance goes. Of tbe tw, at first sight, I would prefer Gen. Johnston. The differences between the two are, I imagine, these : Beauregard is strictly a military man, and looks chiefly at military results. Johnston looks at political as well as military results. Beauregard has most cautiousness, and I think most determination that is, Beauregard would never give up, but would fight even against hope. Johnston, on the contrary, with his large benevolence, would look beyond mere resistance, and would not sacrifice life where there was no hope in fighting. Politically, the other considerations would govern him. But Beauregard would fight and figbt forever. Johnston having less cautiousness I think, would make the most daring moves and the most rasb charges, and we all know that in even apparent rashness is often the extreme of prudence. Beauregard would probably be the safest commander in defense, Johnston would create the greatest enthusiasm, and in a desperate charge would succeed best. A Democratic Paper on Mob Violence. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, one of the most thorough-going Democratic journals in the country has the following : Five rebel papers have been suppressed for their open advocacy of rebellion one in Maine, one in New Hampshire, and three in St. Louis. If liberty is used for the destruction of liberty, there can b'e" no doubt about our duty. The abuse of freedom is the most dangerous enemy to freedom it meets. We unhesitatingly say, down with traitors everywhere, in whatever guise they may appear. We can better afford 'to be lenient during profound peace than when in tbe midst of a most gigantic rebellion. We regret the necessity for martial law, habeas corbeas corpus suspension and vigils over the press. The New York Journal of Commerce, Day Book and News live by indulgence only, and that of doubtful propriety. - Jefferson City, Sept. 8. Some sick soldiers of Col. Marshall's Illinois Cavalry regiment, just returned from Lexington, report that the notorious Capt. Magoffin recently taken prisoner at Georgetown, had been tried and sentenced to be bung. A fire occurred in Lexington, on last Wednesday night, which destroyed ten or twelve business bouses. No particulars. One of tbe firm of Torbet & Co-, of Linn Creek, has reached here, and says only about eight thousand dollars worth of property wan taken from their house by the secessionists. HOME INTERESTS.

It proves to be a most valuable medicine, and give entire satisfaction to all who have need it. I have prescribed it In some very bad chronlo cases cases which seemed almost hopeless. It .'s not very common for pbysiclaas to give much pra.se to patent medicines ; bat I am always willing to receive the truth, and to employ tbe best remedies, whether patent or not. One of my neighbors, a regular physician, stepped Into my office soon after 1 received tbe Bitters, and ask ed what It was. Upon being informed, "Obi" said he, "will yea use those patent me .'Iclnes 't Don't you know that those medicines which are suid to ears everything, really cure nothing?" '-Yea sir," I replied, "for whenever a medicine Is said to cure all diseases, no matter how opposite in their nature, It is too much like tbe boasted panaceas of tbe profession (mercury and antimony), nsedlnali cases, bnt not worth much in any ; while this only proposes to cure a certain class of diseases." He said oo more. I can sorely recommend the Btttsrt when I have so convincing a proof of their efficacy In the case of my wife, who has been vastly benefitted by using them. Yours truly, H. P.
