Three Pays li St. Louls-Whai saw In Missouri. Your St. Louis correspondent having, on Friday last " fallen among " Hoosiers, was unable to escape and the promised letters were not forthcoming. Your readers will doubtless, be interested in a brief recital of what is going on in the great centre of Western military operations, and the position and condition of Indiana Regiments. It is hardly possible for us who live in peace and quietude, pursuing onr accustomed avocations, to realize the extent and magnitude of the military operations going on in St. Louis. On every hand, one is struck with the vastness of the preparations for the comfort of a Grand Army. If we were able, it would not be lawful, for us to state the number of troops in and about the city. It may safely be said, that no one knows, except the proper authorities. In every direction one meets with encampments, containing from one to five thousand men. Indiana has over 7,000 men in Missouri, and 5,000 of these are in St. Louis. Barracks are being erected at the Fair Grounds, for the accommodation of 35,000. As far as the eye can reach, these encampments can be seen, and thousands of men are at work preparing them for occu pation. These are intended for winter quarters, and only occupied at present by a few regiments among these, the 11th and 2Gth Indiana. The 1st Indiana Cavalry Regiment, camped North of the Fair Grounds, had not, up to last Friday night, received their equipments, and, of course, they have not yet accomplished much in perfecting their drill. The boys are all in good health and spirits, and were anxiously waiting to be fitted out. The 24th Indiana, at Carondelet, is being thoroughly drilled by Col. Hovey, who is universally popular with the Regiment. Six companies of the 24th returned from a scouting expedition last Saturday, bringing: with them a lot of prisoners, arms, and other trophies. The uniform of this regiment is fast going back to its original elements, j e. rags. It is to be hoped that this is the last shoddy uniform which will be worn by Indiana volunteers. The 25th Regiment, under the skillful management of Lieut. Col. Morgan, has improved with remarkable rapidity, and their movements in battalion drill would be creditable to regulars. Col. Veatch proves . himself to be the " right man in the right enlace,'' and is beloved and respected by evman under him. The cleanliness, good oriel and soldierly bearing of the officers a(H men of this regiment, have, been noticed by the citizens of St. Louis, who have visited them, and it is considered one of the best otm Indiana's, noble regiments now in Missouri. We earnestly hope that this regiment may, at the proper time, be placed in active service. We are confident that thei record will reflect honor upon the First District of Indiana. The health of this Regiment is excellent. One man, however, died since the regiment reached the city a member of Capt. Hastings' company. Last Sanday, Sergeant-Major Jones, of Rockport, accidentally shot himself, while carelessly handling a pistol. The ball entered bis mouth, fracturing the upper jaw and making a painful but not dangerous wound. Under the skillful management of Surgeon Walker, he will soon be at his post. The Colonel and Adjutant Walker were relieved of their " chronometers " the first night they arrived in St. Louis, by a light-fingered gentleman, who has not since been heard from. It is considerd highly disrespectful to ask Col. Veatch " the time o' day." The officers of this regiment, as of the other regiments in the city, had all been paid, and were very nuch pleased with the liberality of Uncle Samuel. Capt. Klaus'8 Artillery moved through the city last Friday, to the Camp near thefair Grounds. They made a fine appear- 1 nce, and their complete outfit was suffi- ! Cient evidence of the feet that Uey were ! from Indiana. It is exceedingly gratifying ' to a Hoosier to hear the remarks made in St. Louis about the volunteers from Indi- ' ana, and it is conceded that this State has i turned out more troops, in proportion 10 her population, and better equipped regimenta, than any State in the Union. The : 18th and 22ud Indiana Regiments are at Jefferson City, and the 27th and 28th will I be in St Louis by to-day. So much for the whereabouts and condition of our ! " boys." It is sufficient to say that they I will sustain, on the Mississippi, the reputation acquired for the State, by their brethren in Western Virginia. The guoboats and floating batteries are j rapidly approaching completion. It seemed to us that not another man could have been profitably employed on the wotk. Steam tugs hae been purchased for the purpose of

towing the floating batteries, and they ate difltiued to play no insignificant pari in the campaign of the Mississippi. Five hnn. dred men were employed Saturday, laying railroad track through the streets and along

the levee, to connect the Iron Mountain, ' surplus over the regiment's number for North Missouri and Pacific Railroads, , nearly a half regiment more. We think so that the rolling stock of all the j another regiment will be ordered to rendezroads conld be used on either, for : vons at Camp Vigo. The 7th Congressional the transportation of troops. The vast j District appears inexhaustible in fighting number of army wagons, mules and I men.

horses arriving daily in St. Louis, shows that the army for which they are intended will be of vast proportions. Indeed, as we said before, all the preparations making in St. Louis, are on a scale of such magnitude, as to lead to the belief that the army of the West is to be the main division of the Grand Army of the Union. It is hardly necessary to state that Fremont is the mainspring of all these operations. His headquarters, on Chouteau Avenue, are filled with telegraph operators, clerks, couriers army officers and advisers, and from his position he watches and controls the vast machinery of war, which he has set in motion. Adjoining the headquarters is a large building, devoted to the heads of the different Departments under him ; both of these buildings are guarded day and night by Fremont's Guard, who, by the by, are Kentuckians from Covington, all of them young men of the "first families," well equipped and mounted, and armed with Coil's revolving rifles. Inride these lines, Fremont is as inaccessible to outsiders as the Veiled Prophet of Korassen. The city of St. Louis, under martial law, is a more quiet, orderly, and peaceable place than ever before, and loyal citizens would regret to see martial law abrogated. To the scoundrels who infest the city as spies of the Southern Confederacy, the present state of affairs is distasteful, and the probability that all spies will be shot, renders the business exceedingly delicate and hazardous. The armed men who crowd the thoroughfares are a terror only to disloyal citizens. The civil law is not abrogated it is only enforced, and it may safely be said that St. Louis, with its thousands of soldiers, camp followers, and visitors, is the most orderly and peaceful city in the Union. St, Louis, though very easy of entrance, is by no means easy of egres3, and many were the travelers who were sent back from the ferry-boat last Monday, because they could not produce the talismanic signature of Provost Marshal McKinstry. The "Pass Office" is I .l from morning to night, and not ouij a the man who has any reservations to make touching his loyalty, fail to procure a pass, but he is at once lockr r ed up for future trial. Your correspondent having convinced a very fierce clerk, with a mustache like Louis Napoleon's, that he was sound not only on the goose question, but upou the Union difficulty, received from him a pass as follows : Office Pbovost Marshal, St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 9tb, 1861. j Permission is granted to C. K. Drew to pass beyond the limits of the city and couaty of St. Louis, to go to Illlinois. (Signed) J. McKixstry, Major U. S. A., Provost Marshal. On the other side of the pass, was the age, color of hair and eyes, height, peculiarities &c, of your correspondent; these, it may safely be said, are not of very great interest to the public. The following obligation is required to be signed, and we publish it for the benefit of any secession sympathizer who may think of visiting St. Louis. It is a very ugly little document to sign, unless you are determined to stand by the Old Flag, as long as there is a man left in the North to die in its defense. Here it is: "It i3 understood that the within named subscriber accepts this pass, ou his word of honor, that he is, and will be ever, loyal to the United States ; and, if henceforth found in arms against the Union, or in any way aiding her enemies, the penalty will be DEATH. " Having safely reached the Illinois side of the river, we were soon rolling Eastward, on the St. Louis, Terre Haute & Alton Railroad. This road, under the skillful management of ifs present officers, is fast becoming equal to any Western road, in point of equipments, good management, and speed. Its earnings are increasing, and it is in a highly prosperous condition. We are under many obligations to H. C. Moore, Esq., the Western Superintendent of this road, for the attention paid us, not only upon his road, but during our sojourn in the city. Mr. Moore formerly of the Straight Line Road is a Hoosier by adoption, and takes a lively interest in the welfare of Indiana troops. The Indiana artillery companies, and the 26th Regiment, are especially in. debted to Mr. M., for the speed and safety with which they were transported over the Terre Haute, Alton & St. Louis Railroad. He is the "Good Samaritan ,: to all Hoosiers who pass that way. We cannot close these gossiping remarks without calling the attention of our readers, who have friends in camp, to their negligence in not sending to our soldiers, books, tracts, papers, &c. The value of a paper in camp, cannot be appreciated by any one at home. In behalf of our volunteers, we ask, that more attention be paid to this matter in future. We will cheerfully undertake to forward any papers or books, left at our office, to the desired destination. Contraband Goods goino Sooth from Henderson. We are reliably informed, that large quantities of contraband goods go weekly, from Henderson to Tennessee. They are taken iq wagons, destined for Camp Boone and other rebel encampments Now, if the Union tneu iu Henderson ilo not put a stop to this, they will find their trade entirely cut off. The Government is determined to prevent the shipment of goods to the Southern traitors, and, unless the loyal men of Henderson are able to prevent these outrages, every boat will be searched and Henderson goods detained, nntil some investigation can be had, as to their ultimate destination.

-v- - Jf illtary Items The Eighth Regiment pawed UiMWgli Terre Haute, Tuesday, en route for St. Louis. There are inea enough in Camp Vigo for

the formation of an entire regiment, with a j The quantity of cauuon, small arms, shot) shell, and other Implements and instruments of destruction daily going forward to Gen. Fremont, is immense. The Terre Haute Road carries every day large quantities of warlike stores, from :J2-pounders to boxes of percussion caps. Clothing id to be supplied immediately to the soldiers in Gen. Rosencrans' division. Some of our Indiana cavalry are with him. The headquarters of the commissariat division are at Bellair. Six batteries of artillery, of six guns each, are to be raised immediately in this State. The companies formed for artillery service will be supplied with uniforms and other equipments as soon as they are ready for service. An artillery battalion is now being organized at Richmond. It is to consist of six hundred men, with one hundred guns the guns to have the eapacity of carrying a twopound ball two and a half mile3. A portion of the guns required for this battallion will be made in Richmond. They will be of steel barrels, and very superior in workmanship. Wayne county, has furnished six full companies, and men for other companies sufficient in number to make nearly a regiment of infantry. In addition she has raised a cavalry company, and is now engaged in forming a battalion of artillery. Good for old Wayne. Drafting. The United St.ite3 Government has the power, by the Constitution of the United State3, to make a requisition for militia troops upon any and all the Governors of the several States. It is probable that drafting will 'fee nesorted to in New York, in order to furnish the quota from that State. New York eity has furnished nearly all the troops from that State. The N. Y. Herald, of Sunday, says : Not half of the twenty-five thousand volunteers called for by the Governor, have yet signed the enlistment rolls, and the tardines3 with which the work progresses may cause the Executive to demand a draft, more i especially if any sudden demand should ! be.mad.e ?r trP3 fcom Washington. It i is the interest, therefore, of every man to nelp on the work. If he cannot enlist himI self be should use his money and his influ- ' ence in urging the necessity upon others, vvno are less oouna oy me ties or ramuy ana interest. If a draft should become necessary, no respect would be paid to station. The statute of this State makes all ablebodied men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five liable, except ministers of the Gospel, and dodging would be entirely out of the question. Hurry on the enlistments. Draf;ig will hardly ever be resorted to in Indiana. If every other State in the Union had come up to the work, as Indiana has done, we should now have in the field a thoroughly equipped army of 500,000 men. And yet, a call from the President for fifty thousand three or six months meu from Indiana would be responded to by a hundred thousand patriots. It i not improbable that (tie, National Administration will ask for six months men to remain in the camps which will be racated by the columns which are on the ee of an advance into the cotton States. Incfficl en t Blockade. The Bowling Green Gazette criticizes the conduct of the Collector at Louisville quite sharply, and styles the blockade of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, as managed by him, a miserable farce. In some instances where goods were sent back to Louisville by the Surveyor at Bowling Green they were returned the next day with a permit from the Louisville Collector An immense and very valuable lot of machinery for a cotton factory, passed through that place with a permit for the South. The following remarks of the Gazette as to the effects of an inefficient blockade upon loyal citizens, is so applicable to our own city as well as Bowling Green, that we copy them entire : There is a continuous string of wagons heavily loaded passing along from the various depots ou the road to the State Line. The goods they convey, leave Louisville, through permit or otherwise. On the road hundreds of sharp speculators are rapidly making fortunes out of this so called blockade, while the honest, resident, hard working man is subjected to inconceivable annoyance, to procure such articles as he may need for his own use. Ti e working of the blockade, the way it is managed, is most demoralizing, in its effects. The loyal honest man, the farmer, the citizen, and the tax-payer through whose liberality and labor the Road was built, and who scorns the little tricks of trade, is deprived of the benefits of the road ; while the disloyal, and trifling man who never gave a dime perhaps to its construclion is making a fortune oft" of it. The blockade as it now is crippling the honest energies of the country and promotes a spirit of trickery in business transactions; it places honest and upright dealing in the back ground, and offers a premium to rascality. This it does too without the accomplishment of any good whatever. Again we say let some change be made or let the blockade be removed altogether. BgfTue Charleston Mercury of August 20th says that Isaac V. Fowier, the defaulting New York Postmaster, is pleasantly located at the city of Tepic, in Mexico, about fifty milcu from the Pacific, aud employed as the ehief agent of Messrs. Barron, Korbes & Co., the wealthy bankers and manufacturers. Both principals ase now in Europe, and Mr Fowler has entire charge of their affairs. ———<>——— ——>The telegraph had not sufficiently recovered last night from the effects of the storm, to give us the usual report.

Foreign News. The following we clip from a late Paris letter to the National Intelligencer:

I have seen a letter from the great camp n f f!hlrvna miinn . . c . 1 I ror and the young Prince Imperial. The lain -was or coarse celebrated m grand style, many thousands of people flocking from all directions to the camp to witness the display. A variety of games and amusements were organized in front of the Emperor's quarters, and nearly every tent and hut on the vast field was gaily decked wnn nags and streamers. The troops were served with double rations, so that for their evening meal they were treated to cheese, saiaa, coiiee, ana a glas3 of cognac, in addition to their regular rations of beef, soup, bread, and wine. The Emperor evidently appreciated the importance of preparing fur war in time of peace by keeping his army well fed. At night there wa3 a splendid display of fireworks, and at 11 o'clock the tattoo was beat by torch-light. All the bands, drummers and trumpeters who, in the French army, take the place of fifers played together in the mid3t of innumerable torches. The regiments then separated, and, retiring to their quarters in divergent directions, the glimmering lights, and the music softly dying away in the distance, produced a most singular and beautiful effect. The heat of the camp is described as something quite appalling. The Italian Government has entered into a contract with Messrs. W. H. Webb & Co., shipbuilders of New York, for the construction of two iron-clad frigates. The price is about 1,331,400. Of the two plans, English and French, as represented by the Gloire and ihe Warrior, the preference has been given to the French system. The ships are to be finished, at the contractor's risk, in two and a half years. Speaking of naval matters in the eventuality of a future war between the United States and Spain, at some not very distant period, a few words on the condition of the Spanish marine may not be uninteresting. Heavy sacnhce3 have recently been maue by Spain to raise her naval forces from the state of decline into which they had fallen. She has now twenty-seven side-wheel steamers, carrying 130 guns; six screw steamers, armament incomplete ; six screw frigates, thirty-three screw corvettes, and ten screw frigates under construction. She also possesses thirty-eight sailing vessels of war, among which are two ships of the line and six frigates'. The aggregate gives Spain an actual naval power of very considerable importance. ———<>——— CHANGE OF MAIL ROUTE.—Heretofore there have been two mail routes from Evansville to Paducah, one twice a week, supplied by the Charley Bowen, the other thrice a week, supplied by the Dunbar and her substitute, the Samuel Orr. Then there was a daily route from Paducah to Cairo, supplied by the Tom Scott. In consequence of the trouble attending the transfer of the mail at Paducah from one route to the other, and the time lost thereby, the Post Office Department has discontinued Route No. 9,702, from Paducah to Cairo, and has extended the service on Route No. 9,501 (the Bowen's) to Cairo. No change has been made in Route No. 9,703 (the Dunbar's). Hereafter the Bowen will take the mail twice a week, Tuesday's and Saturday's through to Cairo, making Paducah a way point instead of the mail terminus as heretofore. Efforts are being made by the contractor' on Route 9,702 (C. G. Pearce of Cincinnati ) to place another boat in, in place of the Orr; and doubtless a boat will be procured by to-morrow (Friday), the contract day for starting. If so, we shall again have five mails a week to and from Paducah and intermediate points. It should be mentioned that Cairo and points supplied through that office receive a mail from, and send one to this point daily by Railroad, and that there are only two mail landings Caledonia and , Metropolis, Ill., between Paducah and Cairo on the River. Therefore the discontinuance of the Tom Scott mail route, deprives of daily service, only those two offices, but they still get two mails per week from each direction. ———<>——— A Blunder. Mr. Russell, the correspondent of the London Times, appears to comprehend the workings of our govermcn1 as little as thousands of others who have visited us, and placed the result of their observations before the world. In his last letter, Mr. Russell makes the following statement ; The special session of the Thirty-seveuth Congress, which adjourned yesterday to the 4th of December, passed during its brief sitting of a month a number of acts more important in character, and introducing changes of greater consequence in the Constitution of the United Statses, than any since the Declaration of Independence. We didn't suppose there was an English school boy, who ever read the history of this country, who did not know ;that Congress cannot, either directly or indirectly, interfere with the Constitution. Changes in that instrument have to be made by the people, a large majority of whom, we think, are satisfied that no change is necessary at this time. If Mr. Russell makes such egregious blunders in vbat unght to be perfectly plain, we cannot avoid mistrusting his statements in other matters which he naturally would be less likely to understand. From Western Virginia. We had the pleasme, Monday, of conversing with a Lieutenant, just returned from Western Virginia. He states that the health of the 14th Regiment is very good, but that the boys were growiug lmpttient at the long delay of the expected tight. Lieuten. ant Willard was elected CapUin of the Crescent City Guards, in place of Br. Thompson resigned. Not a day passes, mt what one or more scouts were killed y the enemy aud! this fact made the trsopa the more anxious to crosti the line and ;arry the war into Africa. Their desires are, by this time, fully gratified, and we ansiouily await the result. Our informant siaes that the troop3 from Western Virginia, composed of loyal Virginians, are the bett uniformed : and best equipped troops in the field. ———<>———— ——>We are indebted to Mr. Ferry, of the Express office, for late papes.

The Storm at Terre Haute last Tuesday. [From the Express of Yesterday.] During the early part of yesterday afternoon thick, black clouds commenced gathering in the North and West, which grew darker and denser, until between four and five o'clock, when it burst in fearful torrents over our city, accompanied by the most terrific storm of wind that has visited us since the Tornado of 1860. Shade trees and fruit trees were blown down in various parts of the city, and in many cases buildings unroofed. The following is a list of the buildings injured, so far as we have been able to

ascertain up to dark. The Terre Haute House was partly unroofed, and the upper ceilings in some of the rooms broken in. The main front building embracing the old building was entirely unroofed, the tin sheeting and joists, in broad divisions, being hurled over in indiscriminate ruin. One large section was hurled across the open area, and landed on the ground against the dining room, Chimneys were knocked down, and timbers dashed through the ceilings into the rooms below. A part of the roof was blown from the Freight House of the Terre Haute and Richmond Railroad. The Baptist Church, on Fourth street, was entirely unroofed from the West end to the belfry. Captain Haney's Corncrib was demolished. A part of the roof was blown from the building on the North-east corner of Fourth and Ohio streets. The chimneys on the houses of C. W. Mancourt, J. H. Turner, J. T. Moffatt, Louis M. Cook and several others were blown down. No lives were lost, and no one, so far as we can learn, injured. The streets and gutters were flooded with water, washing down boxes, barrels, etc., until caught by the foot-bridges. The air grew so dark that it became necessary to light the gas in our office. The thunder and lightning were the most fearful we have ever witnessed in the Wabash Valley. What damage it did in the country we have not heard, but shall expect to hear of considerable. The storm passed from the North-west to the South, and lasted fully a half hour. ———<>——— Philadelphia asd New York in Danger. The Savannah News, of recent date, urges the formation of a " Devoted Band '' of five thousand men, who shall take their lives in their hands, as also "a sword, two five-shooters and a carbine," with which, mounted on horseback, they shall proceed to Philadelphia and New York, for the purpose of laying those cities in ashes. That paper says : "The shortest path to peace is that which carries havoc and desolation to our invaders. It is believed that there are five or ten thousand men in the South ready and willing to share the fate of Curtius, and devote themselves to the salvation of their country. "None need apply for admission to the ' Devoted Band ' but those who are prepared to take their life in their hand, and who would indulge not the least expectation of ever returning:. Thev dedicate their lives to the destruction of their enemies." It remains to be seen bow many of the Southern Curlii will re9pond to this summons, by meeting " on horseback, at some place to be designated, convenient for the great work in hand. ' If there are any secessionists in Evansville, who wish to join this devoted band, we will agree to pay their expenses to Savannah. ———<>——— A NIGHT POLICE.—The City Council at its last meeting discussed a plan for a Night Police, to be composed of the citizens of the place. The subject lies over until the next regular meeting of the Council. This arrangement meets the approval of all loyal men. We are not far from the seat of hostilities in Kentucky, and no one can predict what an hour may bring forth in our sister State. Not only should the city be guarded by night, but every able-bodied man should be an active and efficient member of the Home Guard. If Kentucky is dragged into the vortex of civil war, we cannot expect to be disinterested lookers on. It may be our duty to assist, with strong arms and willing hearts, the true men on the other side of the river, who refuse to follow the piratical flag of the Confederates. Let us waste no time in idle speculations, but be prepared to do with our might whatever we may, in sustaining the Constitution and the Union. ———<>——— THE MAIL TO ST. LOUIS.—Heretofore mail matter from this point to St. Louis, Mo., and points supplied through that office, has been subjected to several handlings before reaching that city. In consequence of the fact that all mail matter for the Pacific now goes overland instead of by sea, and also that so many of our citizens are in Missouri, thus increasing correspondence and the transmission of printed matter a through mail pouch will hereafter be made up at the Post Office in this place for St. Louis, the contents of which will not be disturbed until they reach that city. This plan will increase the dispatch and security of mail matter. A through pouch in return will also be made up at St. Louis for this place, if the arrangement can be made with the St. Louis Postmaster, as doubtless it can. ———<>——— The torm of Tuesday night was unusually severe. The rain fell in torrents, flooding cellars and streets. At Terre Haute the rain was accompanied with a gale of wind, which partially unroofed the Terre Haute House and Baptist Church, and injuring the railroad depot. We may look for a material rise in the river before many Why Not? The Louisville Journal wants to know why the Vigilance Committee ol Kentucky dou't notify Gen. Grunt to leave. They ought to give him and his troops three hours to lea?e the town, and if they re lade to go, take them across the river, as they did Dr. Wtte last July. By all means, tH8 Vigilance Committee ought to be atten&Vmg to its business' &2f It is 9aid that General McC lei tali il so well assured of the eat ire safety of th Capital, that other regiments under way will undoubtedly be sent in the expeditions to all the Southern coasts.
