——>The severe storm last night prevented us from obtaining our usual telegraphic reports. ———<>——— ——>Mr. Davis, of the Adams Express, favored us yesterday with his usual assortment of papers. ———<>——— t& We return thanks to the Hon. John Law for a pamphle" copy of the acts and resolutions passed daring the first session of the 37th Congress. His attention to us in this particular, while at Washington, places us under many obligations. Thames We are indebted to the Hon McKee Dunn for a copy of the addresses delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives on the death of Hon. S. A. Douglas. The pamphlet is printed in handsome style, and the addresses glow with words of admiration and affection. Western Boys going in. A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial announces that on Saturday last Oen. Rosencrans broke up his camp in Western Virginia and crossed the mountains in force. Lee will now be compelled to fight, or the rebel army at Manassas will have their communication with Tennessee cut off. Capt. Hazard of the regular army has obtained a leave of absence to accept Ihe Colonelcy of one of our State regiments. The particular regiment to be honored by having him placed at its head has not been designated. A correspondent of the New York Tribune Bays General Rosencranz travels with a " telegraph wagon " at the head of his train, containing ladders, tables, wire instruments, and everything necessary for immediately opening an office anywhere. The whole is in charge of a confidential operator, acquainted with the Government cypher; and the General no sooner orders a halt than the wire is cut, the connection formed, and the operator commences receiving the reports from all parts of the extensive department, and the orders from the War Office at Washington. The array telegraph lines follow the common roads to points in our possession through the country, and a strong force is ready to stretch up the wire as the army moves forward. The K. G. C.'s The Henderson Mail, in commenting on this secret organization, declares that its intention is evidently the disruption of our glorious Union for the purpose of erecting a monarchy upon its ruins. The organization is powerful and well managed. "It is made up of three classes soldiers or first degree men financier second degree, and the third degree, few in number, direct all its movements. Tbis degree is independent of the other two degrees, who are their mere serfs, and worked by them as mere puppets. All are sworn to oppose for office any man not of the third degree all are sworn to the institution of a monabchial government all are sworn to proscribe Catholics and foreigner" The Mail seems to speak by the card when it announces that Kentucky is full of these reckless men, and numbers of them may be found in the vicinity of Henderson. " They resort to every expediency to get up anarchy and defection towards the government their only purpose being its destruction." There are a few in our city Who seem to be acting, as if under instructions similar to the above, some of whom are at Henderson every few days in consultation with those who are knowu to be active sympathizers with the rebellion, if not known as members of tbe treasonable organization of the Knights of the Golden Circle. These secret plotters will do well to beware. The eyes of honest men are upon them, and their secret machinations may terminate in a manner to them both unexpected and unpleasant. Editors Jocmnal : The enclosed letter discloses the manner in which a fraudulent trade has been prosecuted with the rebels. Suspecting orders to be fraudulent, I refused many and wrote to the parties in whose names goods were ordered This is one of the answers I have received. J. W. Mills & Co., of Smithland, Ky., are deeply implicated in this illegal traffic. A. L. ROBINSON, Surveyor. L YcusBURG, Ky,, Aug. 27. Mr. A. L. Robinson Dear Sir : Yours of the 16th is at hand, saying that you bad refused an order of ours from Mills k Co. for coffee. We never sent such order. Yon will please send us the order if you have it; we want to Lu.e them published in tbe Journal. Truly your friends, C. H. k W. M. BENNETT

Brevities. Gen. Robert Anderson arrived in Louisville the latter part of last week, and left immediately for Frankfort. His mission, j we donbt not, is to consult with the Legislature.

The New Albany Ledger of Friday states that Col. Scribner's regiment would be full by Sunday night last. We presume they will be sent to the seat of war forthwith. This regiment is numbered 37. One of our young merchants enlisted the other day for sport. Yesterday he was somewhat astonished at finding a file of soldiers at his door, who quite civilly asked his attendance. The young gentleman is in doubt as to where the laugh comes in. The Louisville Journal annonnces to the citizens of Kentucky everywhere that they need not expect it to publish speeches or the proceedings of meetings or anything else tending in its opinion to promote the interests of secession. The Conewago passed up yesterday, crowded with passengers and freight. The passengers were principally from Paducah. We understand that there has been quite a stampede among the secessionists of that city since its occupation by government troops. The Newcastle Courier says that Wayne county has done less ia proportion to her population and resources, than any county in the State. She is good at furnishing Colonels of which she has three, and an infinite number of smaller officers but not much at furnishing men. A resident of Paducah, a butcher, attacked and seriously injured one of the United States troops, who was on duty at the time near the city, as a picket. The secessionist was arrested promptly, and it was the impression, when the Bowen left, that he would be shot. A man named Cartwright wa3 arrested in Cincinnati with $700 worth of pistols ar.d ammunition in his possession. He was a huckster between Charleston, Ind., and Louisville, and had always borne a good character until detected in smuggling. He was to get $1,400 for the lot of pistols upon delivering them in Louisville. The Bowen left for Cairo yesterday, with a fair load. On her last trip she brought back a large part of the goods which she took down tbe river. The demand at Smithland and Paducah seems to have ceased all at once, notwithstanding there are 7,000 or 8.0fo more consumers in the latter city thari i i .! The demand for bacon, coffee, and swil has materially lessened. The Union tueu are all supplied. The editor of the Baptist Recorder recently made a trip over the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. He says he saw no less than forty heavy trunks thrown into the baggage car at Elizabethtown, marked for the South. The3e trunks are carried from Louisville to Elizabethtown in hacks, and pass without a word, though evidently filled with arms. The editor thinks the blockade all bosh ! The Lafayette Courier says Capt. Thompson resigned his position in the 14th Regiment, because he could not obtain a furlough, and business relations with Kentucky, involving all he is worth, demanded his presence at home. Such excuses as that offered by the Courier are calculated to do Captain Thompson more injury here than if no excuse was offered at all. He sold out his entire business to a young man in this city before he left. The young gentleman who purchased his stock has been quite prompt in his payments. Our understanding is that the resignation, grew out of dissatisfaction with some of the regimental officers. Whether or .not the complaints are well founded, we do not pretend to say. We learn that one of the Fowlers, at Paducah, the one who was most prominent in the seizure of tbe Sam Orr, was most terribly frightened at the appearance of two or three thousand of Uncle Sam's boys. Almost out of breath,he rushed up street, obtained and mounted a horse, and put out as if Old Nick was after him. One of his rebel companions also mounted a horse and attempted to overtake him, in order to share with him the fortunes of war. But Mr. Fowler, suspecting that his friend was a Government trooper, only whipped the harder, and sped over the ground the faster. We question whether " he brought up " much short of the Gulf. His flight was a little remarkable for one who could so valiantly command a captain, by holding a cocked pistol to bis head, to vacate tbe deck of his own boat. Gentlemen of the " stand-and-ueliver " persuasion onght to manifest more pluck where there is real danger. Jg-The following letter announces the death of one of our citizens, vcho was connected with Capt. Klauss' Artillery Company, on its way to St Louis. Kansas, III., Sept. 7tb, 1861. Editors Journal : Yesterday morning about one mile west of here a man 'dressed in uniform, with a spur on his boot, was found dead on the Railroad track, the cars having run over his right arm anl breast, almost severing his head from his body. He was one of a Regiment that passed through during the night before, it is thought. On examining bis person, all that could be found to identify him was Phillip Inkerbrand, of Evansville, on his haversack and the initials " C. K. D." on his canteen. The Union Nominations. Tbe Union party of Iowa met in Convention at Des Moines on tbe 28th, and nominated the following ticket : For Gooernorn. B. Baker, of Clinton. For Lieutemant- Guvernrr Col. Dewey, of Henry conoty. '. For Supreme Judge Rufus Noble, of Clayton county. Mr. Baker was the last Democratic Governor of New Hampshire. He has been a resident-of Iowa for several years, and is now AdjutaDt-General of tbe State. The other two gentlemen on the ticket are Republicans

Correspondence. Camp Allen, Carondalet, Mo., Sept. 7th, 1861. j Editors Journal : We received to-day two packages of Journals, of dates Augllst 26th and September 2d, for which the boys are duly thankful. The bays are unanimously of the opinion .that they have been neglected in regard to papers. To be in our comparatively isolated condition for a few weeks, I think would give some of our careless friends a keener appreciation of the value of a newspaper. A newspaper in our camp is regarded as portable property, and is to be respected accordingly. They are generally borrowed two days in advance. We were very kindly furnisned, by the American Tract Society, with a quantity of Christian Almanacs and Religious Journals, of a remote date, last Sunday. They served to while awry a weary hour. I have no doubt but their influence on many was salutary. If there are any of our citizens who wish to do a good thing, I would respectfully suggest that they have a few thousand copies of the report of the Sanitary Committee printed and distributed among the soldiers. For reference, I would refer them to the back numbers of Harper's Weekly of August. Without proper direction, together with ignorance and carelessne33, our soldiers suffer considerably. I am happy to state, however, that our Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel have the good and welfare of the men at heart. Physically and morally, they have measures on foot, which if they meet with the hearty co-operation of those under them, will keep the 24th Regiment all right; and instead of returning to their homes broken down with disease, and unfit to discharge the duties of fathers and good citizens, they will be able, if the honor and vindication of the Old Flag requires them, to so in for another three years. If, wheu we are away from our home3, we have to nav the great debt of Nature let it be on i the field of battle, fighting for those liberties and privileges that have cost so much, and are so dear to every citizen, not with disease, contracted from eating half-cooked, and unnutritious food, laying on the damp ground and exposing ourselves in inclement weather. I learn, from what I presume to be good authority, that two-thirds of the sickness in the army encamped in and about St. Louis, is attributed to tbe intemperate use of fruit. Tbis is the programme for soldiers' rations: Apples, peaches, watermelons, and plenty of water, drank, of course, when they are heated up from exertion at drilling, &c. Next thing a pain under the waistband, then come3 Godfrey's Cordial, &c, kc. As to our future movements, we can only conjecture. Circumstances will, of course, shape our position. We are almost constantly at work perfecting ourselves in drill, and bringing things up to a sound and proper discipline. We would be loth to leare here, for we have found many friends amongst the citizens of Carondelet Union Friends with warm hearts and liberal hands. One word as regards the citizens of K vansville. A3 I read the proceedings of the meeting to raise funds for the families of volunteers to one of Capt. Grill's men, tears fairly danced in his eyes tears of joy. His feelings can better be explained by tbe remark be made : " There was shust as goot peoples in Evan3ville as was in Germany. " I presume he has a wife and children, for whom his affections are just ss warm and strong, as some of our more favered of volunteers. His heart will bat high with gratitude towards those that extend a helping hand to the loved ones at home. I congratulate some of our citizens on tbe pleasant feelings they must enjoy in doing a just, liberal, and decidedly christian act. There is an old adage, and it would be well if it was practised more in these trying times " Cast your bread on the waters, &c, &c. You all know it. In conclusion, Company F., 24th Indiana Volunteers, are all O. K. Yours till the war is over, S. Council Proceeding. Council Chamber, 1 Evansville, Sept. 7, 1801. Councilman Smith, from a Committee previously appointed, made the following report : Plan for establishing a night police or guard, for the City of Evansville. OneSuperintendant of Police, and one Assistant Superintendent to be appointed by the Council. The Superintendent to be on duty each day from noon until one hour after midnight, and tbe assistant to relieve him at one o'clock, a. m., and remain on duty until sunrise. Until the lists, hereinafter mentioned, are made out, the Superintendent to notity six citiaeus of each Ward to serve as night patrol each night, giving them timely notice of their appointment. The Superintendent to make or cause to be made complete lists of all the male citizens of each Ward, from to years of age, and divide each Ward list into seven classes, one for each night in tbe week, and when the li3ts are completed each person required to perform patrol duty, to receive notice in writing, fortyeight hours previous to the time of his service. Substitutes not allowed unless tbe name of the intended substitute is reported to the Superintendent and approved by him twenty-four hours previous to the time of service, so that the Register may be properly kept, and in order that it may at all times be known who are to serve on any given night. The Superintendent to make daily reports to the Mayor, stating in said reports the names of the persons who served as patrolmen in the several wards during the previous night, and also the names of those neglecting or refusing to serve, and the names of those tardy iu their attendance, and those who left their watch previous to their discharge, and those guilty of negligence or the violation of any 'of the rules during the time of their watch, and stating all arrests made and the causes thereof, and all violations of the peace, and anything else relating to the peace and good order of the city. reports to The Mayor to make weekly the Council, embracing the substance of all the information contained in the reports of the Superintendent. All the patrolmen notified to serve on any evening, to meet at 6 o'clock p. m., at some suitable place, to be designated by tbe Council, and after the calling of the roll by the Superintendent, the patrolmen to proceed to their respective wards, aud at the expiration of their watcb, to meet again and make their reports, aud be dismissed. No patrolman to discharge any gun or other fire arms, except as a signal for assistance. Patrolmen U.- be dispersed over their respective wards, so that not more than two of them may be together at any one time, except in ao emergency requiring a greater force.

Army

All necessary blanks for notices and reports to be furnished by the Council. All persons laboring under any physical disability to be excused from serving, on providing a substitute, provided they have no property, real or personal, to protect. The Superintendent to adopt a watchword or countersign, changing the same every night, and to communicate the same to one of the patrolmen of each ward ; such patrolman to be the Captain of the watch of the ward for the night, and said Captain to give the watchword to each of the patrolmen of his ward. And ordered, that said report be entered on tbe minutes, and published, and that its further consideration be postponed until the next meeting of the Council. Attest: P. BURK, Clerk. The Kight Kind of Talk.

The following comments on the action of the confederate troops, in taking possession of Hickman and Columbus, Kentucky, we find in the Louisville Journal. It will be seen that the veteran editor and sterling patriot at the head of that paper, is fully prepared for the issue thus forced upon the Unionists of hi3 beloved State: A Confederate army from Tennessee has taken possession of Hickman and Chalk Bluffs, in Kentucky, and are erecting fortifications at those places. Many of our citizens, no doubt, have fully anticipated this audacious movement. We have been daily expecting it for nearly two weeks. It brings matters at once to a point. Either the Confederate troops must be withdrawn from Kentucky, or the issne of battle 13 made up. The telegraphic correspondence between Gov. Magoffin and Gov. Harris npon the occupation of Kentucky by the Confederate troops from Tennessee, i3 before tbe public. Gov. Harris refers the matter to President Davis. Whether Davis will order the withdrawal of the troops from Kentucky except upon tie condition of the disbanding of the encampments of soldiers in Garrard, &c, under the authority of the United States, remains to be seen. We trust that he will. Kentucky will do no parleying upon the subject. Anxious as she ia for peace, she must and will, backed by all tbe strength at her command, endeavor to rescue her soil from invasion. Were she to do less, she would be dishonored in the eyes of mankind. Were she to do less, it would become a stinging reproach to be called a Kentuckian. Were she to do less, every proud son she ba3 would blush for bis maternity. It may be that the Government of tbe Confederate States has deliberately chosen this method of forcing a war in Kentucky under the belief that tta result of war will be speedy secession, but we are well convinced that any such 'jelief, if cherished, will be signally disappointed. Let a call go forth from the capita: of our State rallying the sons of Kentucky to arms to drive the invaders from her soil, and there will be such a gathering throughout the State as has yet been known in no State North or South. Thousands and thousands even of those who have been wavering and faltering in their allegiance to the Union would, at such a call, feel the old fire rekindled in their bosoms and rush to the deliverence of their State from the deep pollution of a for eigu army's tread. Treason then would not be tolerated within our borders. It would be consumed in the burning and on rushing tide ot patriotism. , Thk John Gault. We learn from passengers on tho ('barley Bowen that tbe steamer John limit was suddenly "gobbled up,'' by ttie of those vornciou3 gun boats which g sneaking up and down the river seeking whom they may devour, on last Sunday afternoon. The Gault has been doing quite a nice little business in the contraband line slipping up the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, discharging freight and slipping hack into tbe Ohio looking as innocent "as any Aminidab Sleek. Suspicion becoming aroused, one of the gun boats was sent to watch the Gault, and sure enough, the latter steamer wns caught in the very act, and seized accordingly. Capt. Bunce, we remember, made himself particularly conspicuous by his advocacy of secession doctrines when our troubles first commenced, and Le assisted 'he Louisville Courier in getting off what, we doubt not, it considered a remarkably witty effusion ridiculing Capt. Klauss' gun squad which then had charge of the blockade. We wonder if matters look so pleasantly to the Captain now ? Of course, we don f. know anything about it, but we have an idea Gen. Fremont is not going to be so lenient with traitors as hag been the case with the authorities at Washington, and Capt. Bunce may be called to an account that will prove unpleasant by reason of its strictness. AST" The Cleveland Plain Dealer, long the Democratic newspaper in Northern Ohio, says, in a leader published Saturday : " We heartily endorse the action of the Administration in the arrest of women traitors, and the suppression of traitorous newspapers. Any thing for the success of our arms, the foiling of the foe, and tbe salvation of our country. There are but two classes, two parties, two sides to this question, and but two possible result-. If the friends of Constitutional liberty are united and strong enough to put down this wicked rebellion, we have before us ages of stability and greatness. If beaten in this effort, we may read our future history in the past of Mexico, though as much more furious, bloody, and terrific, as we are more enlightened, energetic, inventive, and powerful. Choose ye, deliberately whether to advance as an unit in power, peace, intelligence, and all the elements of greatness, or to tall upon the sword a multitude of bloody factions. If the former be our election If the old flag floats pleasantly in the eye, and the ear is charmed with the music of the Union, let us magnanimously criticise, faithfully advise, honestly, generously, and unwaveringly, : stand by the Constitutionally chosen head i of the Government, in his unselfish efforts to crush out this rebellion, by every means in his power, or that we can put in his power. " A kmt and Navy. Thirty thousand Minie Rifles have been sent from San Francisco to Aspinwall in the steamer Sonora. Company H, 4th Infantry U. S. A. Capt. n. D. Wallace, acted as escort, and then returned to California a.ter the safe delivery of their valuable charge. Skirmish. A private dispatch from Gen. Reynolds to Governor Morton, last night, says: "Lieutenant-Colonel Owen, of the 15th Regiment, had a skirmish this morning, killing six of the enemy. One of his men was wounded. Indianapolis Journal, Tuesday.

The Loyal Men, of Springfield and their Families. There are in this city and at Rolla more than one thousand of the loyal people who were driven from the southwest by McCulloch and his thieving

gang. Many of them bad exhausted their slender means in order to live, and are now in a state of destitution. Those who have been accustomed to live in affluence are now reduced to comparative beggary. Those of them who brought their families to Rolla suffered from want of provisions, and their case needs immediate attention. Accounts which reach us from Springfield state that the rebels have taken every thing eatable, drinkable, or portable. Their clothing, provisions, carpets, and valuables, have been unceremoniously appropriated. The wives and families left behind are on the point of starvation, being reduced to the necessity of picking up the refuse of the soldiers or ask alms of the secessionists, whose jeers and taunts are more intolerable than the destitution. These citizens cannot return without fear of being outraged, and their feelings in regard to their families are becoming intolerable. If these people cannot be returned to their homes with a victorious and efficient army, cannot some means ot relief 'be extended to them at once ? We trust the authorities in their multitude of duties will not let this matter escape their attention. St. Louis Democrat Post or Honor. Captain Geisendorf, of Brown's regiment, recently stationed at Cockeysville, Maryland, has just retuvned to obtain a few recruits, in tbe place of men who have ' been disabled, or proved insufficient for their duties. He informs us that his regiment, the Twentieth, has the advance of the advance brigade, General Landers. In other words, it is at the very head of the Grand National Army. Indianapolis Journal. Our opinion is that Gen. Landers is not at the head of a brigade, but on General McClellan's Staff. Such, at least, has been the understanding among all the newspaper correspondents. Splendid Grapes. We acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. John Frolick, an old and faithful carrier of the Journal, for a basket of most delicious Catawba Grapes. They were fully ripe, and the large, rich clustets were disposed of with a high appreciation of John'a success in the culture of the vines. May his crop of the excellent fruit always be as large and luscious as it has been this season ! SejUpward of 3,000,000 rations for the army of the Potomac are now stored in the receiving depots at Washington. Some idea of tbe bulk of these rations may be formed when we state that there are 18,000 barrels ot flour, 9,000 barrels of beef, 3,000 barrels of pork, 500,000 pounds of coffee, 500,000 pounds of sugar, and 1,500,000 pounds of bread, with hominy, crackers, vinegar, candles, soap, and salt in proportion. An army of 250,000 men will consume all these rations in 1 2 days. Mr. Wm. Howard, of Knight Towdhip, left with us some beautiful specimans of peaches. They were extraordinarily large and toothsome.

It proves to bs a most valuable medicine, and civs entire satisfaction to all who have used it. I hats prescribed it In some very bad chronic oases cases which seemsd almost hopeless. It is not very common for physiciaas to give much praise to patent medicines ; bat I am always willing to receive the truth, and to employ the best remedies, whether patent or not. One of my neighbors, a regular physician, stepped into my office soon after I received the Bitters, and asked whst It was. Upon being informed, "OhV'ssfsl he, "will you use those patant medicines t Don't j on know that those medicines which sre said to cure everything, really cure nothing?" '-Yes sir," I replied, "for whenever a medicine is said to curs all diseases, no matter bow opposite In their nature, it is too much like the boasted panaceas of the profession (mercury and antimony), used in all cases, but not worth much Iu any ; while this only proposes to cure a certain class of diseases." Hit said no nioro. I can surely recommend the Bitters 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.
