DBEW- Aabociatk EDtToa The Blockade The following circular, addressed by the Secretary of the Treasury, to the various custom officers throughout the country, indicates to our mind that the dangers attending attempts to smuggle, ate fully commensurate with any profits likely to be gained in its pursuit. Our people have never seen a man tried and bung for treason. They know what constitutes treason, and the punishment prescribed for that offence, but the Government ha3 been so lenient, and so many Ijave committed the crime without being punished, that some are apt to conclude that the law for treason like that against profane swearing is a dead letter. We will only suggest to such, if any there be in this city, that we publish the circular at the request of the Surveyor, who, we doubt not, 3 determined to have somebody punished, H' they don't quit violating the law. Treasury Department, "l September :i, 1861. j Sir: Instances of communication, by land and water, with the States controled by the insurrectionists, are still frequently brought to tho knowledge of this Department. It iato be distinctly understood, that all communication, whether for commercial or other purposes, without special permit, is, and since the date of the President s Proclamation of the 16th ultimo, has been in violation of the law; but it is also to be understood that no permit of any Collector, or other Officer connected with this Department, is of any validity as a sanction to such intercourse, expect as expresslyiauthorized by the license or permission of the President of the United States, through the Secretary of the Treasury. All nwoHo anfi i"hattlpa. wflr3?! Anil Tii-r-rhandise, going to, or coming from a State under insurrectionary control, and every vessel or vehicle, conveying property or persons, to or from snch States, is forfeited to the United States, and must be seized and proceeded against as so forfeited. Any circumstances requiring or justifying the mitigation or remission of any such forfeiture, will be duly considered, on applicatiou to the Secretary of the Treasury in whom, oy act of Conpress, the sole power of such mitigation or remissioB is vested. With great resnect, your obd't Serv't, S. P. CHASE, Secretary of the Treasury. fleeting ot Citizens for tike purpose of organizing the Indiana Legion. Last night a large number of citizens met at Mozart Hall, filling the building to overflowing, for the purpose of taking into consideration the organization and equipment of the Indiana Legion. John Ingle, Jr., was called to the chair, and C. K. Drew appointed Secretary. Jas. E. Blythe, Esq., being called upon, stated the object of the meeting in a few remarks, in which he called attention to our exposed condition, and the necessi'y of a speedy organization of the Militia. At the close of his remarks he introduced to the meeting "Major-General Love, an Indiana soldier from Western Virginia." Gen. Love was received with loud cheers. After silence was restored, he proceeded to explain the provisions of the Militia bill, passed by the late Legislature, to which we alluded in our columns yesterday. A subscription paper was started for the purpose of raising funds for uniforming the Indiana Legion. Nine hundred and eighty-five dollars were subs-ibed by ten of our citizens, and the list was then handed to Messrs. French, Gwathmey, and Kratz) who will wait upon others for further subscriptions. Speeches were made by Messrs. Baker, Ingle, Viele, Shanklin, and others. The speech of Mr. Shanklin was frequently interrupted by the wildest applause. He was in one of his happiest moods, and his address was worthy of the occa3ion and himself. Mayor Baker stated to the meeting that the Council had refused to sanction the erection of a frame building within the fire limits for a drill room for the city companies. Whereupon Col. Blythe moved, that the meeting-representing a fair proportion of the voters of the city-ic, the Council to grant its permission, and Messrs. Foster, Hollingsworth and iUrshal were appointed a committee to devise wayE and means for the immediate erection of the proposed building. The lateness of the hour forbids hq extended notice of the meeting. It was the most enthusiastic and patriotic assemblage we have attended since the beginning of the war. ———<>——— ——>The Mattie Cook arrived from Green River Sunday.

that point. Subsequently, finding there might be little demand for salt on the Ohio river, the shipper applied to Mr. Cotton to ' know whether the nermit already Granted , would be authority for ascending Green riv- 1 er, this side of Evansville, if desirable. This extension of the scope of the permit was granted by Mr. Cotton, a3he has advis- ! ed Collector Robinson by telegraph, and ! sent there accordinglv. The seizure of the salt in Kentucky was therefore an injustice to an innocent party, who supposed he was acting under Government authority. Lou isville Journal. A further examination of the above :lt case convinces ns that justice has not been done Mr. Robinson, the proprietor of the salt boat captured ii Green river and brought to this city. Wo apprehend that, like the Irishman, justice is what Mr. Robinson ought most to fear. We learn at the Surveyor's office, that on a previous occasions Mr. Robinson visited our city with a salt boat and succeeded in obtaining a permit from the Surveyor to retail it out along the river in quantities not to exceed five barrels to any one person or firm. Iu no case was he to sell any salt at Southland or Padncah. Having obtained this permit the gentleman started down the river and in direct violation of his agreement, sold most of the salt to Mills & Co., of Southland, whence of course, it wa3 shipped uirect to ine rebel camps. When he started' with the second boat load be obtained a permit from Surveyor Cotton to retail it out on the river, with the understanding that if he did not sell out before reaching Evansvillo he was to report here for an endorsement of his permit by our Surveyor. But instead of coming here to obtain permission to go up Green river, he attempted to smuggle it up that stream by chartering the ferry boat at Owensboro to tow his flat. The Surveyor here got wind of his movements, and stopped them quite effectually. Xo telegraphic dispatch has been received here by the Surveyor front the Louisville Collector in regard to the matter. We doubt if one was ever sent. The Journal havinr ' 1 the seizure of salt an injustice to muocent party, will please publish the uiiove fncts in the case. A correspondent write us from Camp Willich, Indianapolis, that the German regiment now organizing in that city is located in a grove north-west of the city and is kept quite clean and comfortable. The men are much attached to their officers and are taking hold of the work necessary to be done before they become efficient as soldiers, with a zeal that will soon fit them for active service. Col. Willich is an old soldier, knows a soldier's wants, and is untiring in his efforts to make his men comfortable. Our correspondent compliments Adjutant Schmitt from this city, iu hiph terms. Always cheerful anJ good nalured the Adjutant has so succeeded iu winuiog the affections of the men that they will follow him into any danger and stand by him under the most trying circumstances. Indianapolis has about 20 men in the regiment, while the Evansville company is nearly full, and considered about the best iu the regiment. i6The police in Louisville have shown commendable activity in 'inching out and capturing arms that were placed in the hands of companies of the State Guard, and which that treasonable organization have been attempting to smuggle into the confederate army. On Saturday morning two officers seized, at a residence on Chesnut street, sixty-three six-pound can. non balls, the same number of cannister shot, and nineteen knapsacks. Of the twelve hundred guns which were in the hands of members of the State Guard in that city about six hundred stand are now in the hands of the police. The Weekly Gazette notices, in an article intended to be satirical, Gen. McClellan's proclamation requiring of his troops a proper observance of the Sabbath. The editor says the order wa3 issued to " gratify the fancies of religious meddlers." A paper devoted to the publication of sermons ought to be more guarded in its statements. Gen. McClellan is known to be a conscientious christian man, and the order referred to has been hailed with satisfaction by every man in and out of the army, who reverences the christian usages, or regards the commandment " to keep the Sabbath holy. fifciJ"" Another" Contract. As we anticipated, the excellence of the work on the cavalry equipments, manufactured in this city lately, was sufficient to commend the firm of J. P. Elliott & Co. to the favorable notice of the Quartermaster, and they have just obtained another contract for four hundred bridles, saddles, bits, ke. This contract will give employment to a litrge force, and distribute over $10,000 among our mechanics. eSSf Col. Brown, at Fort Pickens, seems to have abanr'en 'd the masterly inactivity which has characterized the campaign in that quarter. He has actually fired at fbe confederates, while they were endeavoring to destroy the U. S. dry dock. The Mobile papers characterize the attack as au "outrageous act of war." A few more "outrages ' of this kind several month. an. would have been hailed with satisaaction by the whole country. ———<>——— ——>The City Council were "in the dark" on all subjects, Saturday night.— The gas meter was out of order, and the Council adjourned without transacting any business.

.,r We make the following extract from a letter from the 17th Indiana Regiment.

We regret our limited space prevents us from publishinrr it in full. The letter is dated Cheat Mountain Pass, Sept. 6th - Oar camp 13 located on a very narrow -callov rwlwopn hioh ami rnr-kv mountains, could come. As a guard to one of them, j (several regiments are stationed upon the summit of the mountains eleven miles be- j Vond ns Col. Wanner with the 15th Itdi ana and some Ohio regiments has taken a position six miles from us commanding the I other pass. At Beverly 13 miles in our rear( several regiments are encamped. The forCe at all these camps can be concentrated at any point near either of them in a very short time, as the Government has constructed teleeranh lines connecting all oi them. Let the rebels attack one ot our camps, and the men at that camp could hold them until we could rally a foice sufficient to sweep them from the earth ns with the besome of destruction. The Grand Army here contains some of Ohio and Indiana's best regiments of infantry. We have besides some cavalry and a large amount of artillery, among which is found some of the best riflsd cannon in the service. The government has supplied us with a large amount of ammunition and commissary stores, so if the rebels attack us, or give us the opportunity of attacking them, we expect to leave those "like the leaves of the forest, when autumn hath begun.'' The pickets from Col. Wagner's camp, a few days ago, came in contact with the rebel pickets. Both parties fired and immediately fled to their respective camps. A force from Wayne's camp immediately made an advance, expecting to meet the rebels. When they came to where the pickets were stationed, they found that on our side one was shot dead. About one mile further they found one of the rebel pickets badly wounded, and the bloody blankets left by the other showed that they, too, bad been mar lied. Our men advanced six miles further and became convinced that the rebels had ingloriously fled. We have sometimes found where they have recently encamped, found their nests warm, but like the Paddy's flea, when we put our finger on them they are not there they nee. Some days ago, we visited our advance camp. We found there the 1-HU. Indiana, CoL Kimball's Regiment, and among them, of course, Capt. Thompson and the Evansville boys. We found them in good spirits and enjoying camp life hugely. While sitting in Lieut. Willard's tent, conversing with him and looking over a copy of the Journal, we heard the report of a gun unj saw his men run up to where we heard the report. We rushed up and found young Geo. Bettis had accidentally discharged his musket, shooting his right hand off at the wrist ; the bone was complete'y severed and hung only by the flesh. The boys raised him up and offered to carry him to the hospital, but he said he could walk himself, and did. The physicians amputated it above the wound. He bore it like a soldier, and all who saw it were sorry to see so brave a soldier disabled. Willard, who has recently ben fleeted Captain, id doing good service. He has already had a brush with the enemy, which has been fully described in the Journal. He wears little regulation jewelry and put9 on no peacock airs, but is a regular worker, ho attire, and intelligent uIIIlci, lb couaiHii I Iy loOhitlg tii the physical comfort of his men and the good of the sercice, and is universally liked by bis command. Co1. Kimball's Regiment Is on the very summit of the Cheat Mountains, among the rocks and pines, where it is so sleep that the boys can scarcely keep from rattling over each other while they sleep, and so rocky that they can with difficulty drive down their tent pins. They have peeled hemlock bark and put floors in their lents, and by covering this with pine boaghs, and the blankets government has given them, and those they have taken from the sect-sh, they sleep comfortably. The purest water boils out of the ground in all directions around them, and some of them have scooped out the white sand, and have i living springs of the sweetest water in their tents. Their camp is so high up, iid aslra, that they can often see the clouds below them, and while they have bright sunshiny weather, we, eleven miles below them, uavo to endure the heavy rain. But I have already written too long a communication, j and have not told you hull' I intended ; will write soon again. NAPOLEON B. R1SINGER. Sensible Advice. While the Legislature pf Kentucky seems to be hesitating and trimming, it is gratifying to read the stir" ring appeals of the Louisville Journal, urging the members of that body to their duty. It insists that the lime for timid action is past. The war is forced upon them and they should meet the responsibility like men like Keutuckiaus. In commenting on the proposition before the Legislature, to send a committee to the rebel troops to urge them to leaves the State, the Journal uses the following warm language : The only proper committee for the Legislature to send to the rebel troops who have invaded the soil of Kentucky is General Anderson and every soldier he can raise in the State, and summon from the neighboring State-? of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The crisis has come -let there not be a moment's hesitation or delay. Strike at the rebels loth from abroad and at home with i tne swiftness and torce of a thunderbolt Shall there be a lack of promptness and energy in Kentucky after so many examples of the unscrupulousness and energy of the rebels ? Shall they be allowed to play a successful game also in Kentucky ? If the i Legislature shall fail to act with the necessary promptness and vigor, the disappointment and indignation of the people will know no bounds. Let them without a mo ment's unnecessary delay repeal the State Guards organize the Home Guards and invite and urge General Anderson to raise fifty thousand troops in the State, and call in the meantime all he may want from our neighbors. TMHRAPHiNG THE DEPARTMENTS. The use of the telegraph is an unendurable nui sance to the Government.

Morton turned them over to the General Government, who will reimburse the State. This enables our soldiers to get j good guns, and get sooner into active ser vice. The Quartermaster and Commissary Department is now under the control of the General Government, and are continually employed in receiving and discharging goods ; no sleepy beads or " red tape " are allowed here. Regiments are put into a condition to move officers are required to remain in their camps with their men, and after night orders are given, to pack up and get aboard the train. The Colonel don't know where he is going until he is ready to leave. The next morning the people wake up, the regiment is gone and all is quiet. Gen. Fremont is loud in hi3 praisea of Indiana; he says that Indiana is the most prompt of any State in the Union, all that he has to do i3 to telegraph to Indianapolis, and in twenty. four hours the men, or whaj he wants, are in St. Louis. The United State3 officers who have examined the accounts of most of the States, say that Indiana has managed her affairs more economically, and with more credit to herself, than any State in the Union. Secretary Chase is reported to have said to one of our public men, "Sir, Iudiana standsfaii in Washington ; your State officers have the confidence of the Administration, and I, with the President, have confidence in their management of financial affairs, and their ability to get through this struggle with credit to themselves and honor to the National Government. " There is one feature of Gov. Mortens' policy that recommends itself to all ; that is his continual care of his troops. He does not dismiss them to the seat of war and then abandon them, but he hna been sending an agent every few weeks to visit every regiment from thi3 State wherever they ere situated, and see that the men are well clothed and provided for. This plan was so heartily approved of by General Fremont that I understand he telegraphed to the other Governors who have troops under him to appoint commissioners also. It is rumored here that Governor Morton has been tendered a commission as Major General, and that he is about raising an army of ten thousand men, which he intends putting iu the field in a superb manner, all to be armed with Enfield rifles, and equipped in the best poisiWe style. TLc riesldeot it 13 said, has offered to place on his stall two or three able officers of the regular a.' my. This army is to join the Fremont expedition. If this is done you will hear a good report from them. Governor Morton is just the man for this position. A very prominent military man, who has always been a Democrat, and who was, I believe, an elector on the Democrat ticket, remarked in my hearing that there was no man in Indiana more competent for the post than Governor Morton. MEDICUS. ———<>——— [From the Indianapolis Journal of Friday.] The Murder in Monroe County. A friend at Bloomington sends us the following particulars of a horrid tragedy in Monroe county, an account of which we copied yesterday from a Lafayette paper: "At an early hour this morning, Sept. 10th, intelligence was brought to this place (Bloomington) that a respectable citizen named John B. Cox residing about seven miles east of the town, had been murdered last night, together with his whole family. Many of our citizens hastened to the spot, and beheld a scene that beggars all description, and which is almost without a parallel in the annals of crime. "On reaching the house—a small log cabin containing but one room—they found Mrs. Cox lying dead upon the bed, with her throat cut from ear to ear. On the floor beside her lay the lifeless body of a little girl, whose throat had been cut iu a similar manner. On a trundle-bed, weltering in their gore, lay a boy some ten or twelve years of age, and two other little girls, one about four and the other about seven years of age. The throats of all these had been mangled in a dreadful manner, but life was not yet extinct, though they had evidently been left for dead. In another part of the house lay Mr. Cox, still alive, but with two or three dreadful gashes in his throat. In the darkness the fiends had missed the jugular vein, though they had cut on each side of it. A single child, an infant, was all that escaped unharmed. "I have just returned from a visit, this afternoon, to the scene of the terrible tragedy. Though friends had washed the gore from the faces of the dead, and physicians had bound up the wounds of the living, still it was a spectacle which could not fail to sicken the stoutest heart. In the middle of the room lay the old man, trembling in the scales of life and death. In one corner lay the little orphan boy, endeavoring, in broken accents, to tell the story of the bloody deed; on a low couch were the two little girls, the younger then sleeping; the elder about to fall into her last sleep. Her case was so hopeless that the physicians had left her wound undressed. The knife had been drawn directly across the neck, close under the chin, making a wound some three inches in length, and entirely severing the windpipe. The parts of flesh had separated about half an inch, disclosing a dark, frightful chasm. Before this reaches you she will be reposing with mother and sister in the peace of death. There are some hopes entertained of the recovery of the others. "It seems that the hellish deed was perpetrated about daybreak this morning. Mr. Cox affirms that there were four of the villians, two of whom he recognized. These two have been arrested, and are now in jail at this place. The others are still at large, having, I believe, fled the country. "Mr. Cox was a sober, peaceable man, but he was engaged in a law suit with one of the men in jail, and it is probable that out of this difficulty grew the attempted assassination of Cox—the others being murdered to prevent any disclosures. ———<>——— t-oT It will be seen by our dispatches that a9,000 000 have already been subscribed to J the popular loan.

The i Dosiiion of our soldiers at Cheat Mountain i Gap unJer the comrnand of Brig General j Reynolds, having become quite critical, me naced as tney are by a large force under General Lee, one of the most skillful of the rebel leaders, Gov. Morton decided to reinforce them. He did this on his own responsibility, trusting to the good sense of the War Department for an endorsement of bis action. The regiments were immediately started for Western Virginia, among them the celebrated Seventh and Ninth, wbo gained so many laurels in their threo months campaign iu that section. These regiments will materially strengthen the General. Shortly after the Governor started the regiments be received a dispatch from General Scott, directing hfm to sfnd reinforcements to General Reynolds.
