Heretofore, the reason assigned by our laboring men, mechanics, and young men connected with the various business houses in our city, for not enrolling their names in the State Legion, was that they were not able to incur the expense of uniforms, and they were unwilling to spend their time and money in making preparations to defend the property of wealthy citizens, who would not enlist themselves nor give anything to wards equipping those who did. The prompt action of our men of means, on Monday evening, has removed this ground of complaint. The liberality with which they responded to the call for assistance, and the cheerfulness with which they subscribed large amounts, for the express purpose of buying uniforms for those who are unable to buy for themselves, merits a like promptness on the part of our young men in filling up old, and organizing new, companies. Let it not be said that the complaints which have always been made as the reason for not organizing themselves into companies were mere frivolous excuses for the non- performance of a duty they were anxious to avoid, buttfesired to place the responsibility where it dil not legitimately belong. There are men enough in our t-ity and county to form an entire regiment. ColBiytbe, a gentleman in whom all our citizens have great confidence, has been rijoined to take charge of the regiment, both while it is organizing tnd will command it if ordered into State service. Tbs nucleus for several companies are already in existence, and instead of frittering away time in trying to organize new companies, let us fill up the old ones. There will be time enough to organize new ones afterwards. Governor Morton has furnished us with a fine battery of field artillery, fully equipped with horses, harness, and everything necessary for active service. An artillery company has been formed to tak charge of the guns, under the command of a gentleman of large experience, but it lacks a good many men to entitle it to the standing of a full company. We trust but few days will elapse before its muster roll will have the required number of names. So with the other companies; let their ranks be filled forthwith. It will be folly to throw away uniforms already bought and paid for, and hence economy ought to induce us to fill the companies now partially organized before we proceed to call into existence additional skeletons. The necessity for a thorough organization we have often urged. It is patent to every man who observes, reads, or thinks. Kentucky is burning like a huge volcano, ready to pour forth a volume of firey lava at any moment, and desolate our borders, as well as her own. The Southern Confederacy have concentrated large bodies of men at various points on the border of Tennessee) aad within striking distance of our city, ready to invade us without a minute's warning. We are not assured of the patriotism of all who .come and go, and dwell in our midst, wnite we should be prepared for any contingency. Young men ! mechanics ! will you not rally In defence of your homes and firesides? Without preparation, the hour of attack will find you as help'.ess as a flock of beep before the huugry woif ; with prepar--ation and organization, you may boldly defy intimidation or assault. The best way to preserve peace is to be prepared for war. Thb New Drill Room. Our citizen appear to be in earnest in the matter of organizing with all possible speed and efficiency the companies of the Indiana Legion. In order to afford a proper place for drilling troops -within doors, it has been proposed to erect, on the corner of Water and Locust Streets, a frame building seventyfive by one hundred and fifty feet. In thin room will be deposited the arms of the regiment, and it will be the general headquarters of Col. Blythe'a command. The Committee a. pointed by the meeting Monday night will at once take such steps as will ensure tho n,.J f .1. . ,,mensure the speedy erection of the building ine cost, we are told, will be comparatively trifling, and the benefits arising from the P0880". by the Regiment, of a proper drill room, will fully repay tha expenditure. The 25th Regimen:, befoie leaving at t , wuu ior Jeoerson City, -was armed with French rifles, of the most approved Dattern. bayonets, and the flanking comMdlabMb PrTided wUh English riiee 9 ayoneta. The boys were dlighted with their new arms, and marched !!" HrrHeks aoau,iy morning in good health and fine spirits, readj to whjp CH9 rebels whenever led agaiB.t theru.

From Down the River.

The Charley Bowen came in from Cairo yesterday morning, bringing the latest inteliigence from down the river. There are 10,000 TJ. S. troops at Paducah, and there is not the least doubt but that they will be able to hold the place against any force likely to b through 6 against it. There are about 10,000 troops at Cairo and Mound City, 6,000 at Bird's Point, and 5,000 at Fort Holt, opposite Cairo. Thus we have an army of about 32,000 men scattered up and down from Paducah to Norfolk, Mo. They are generally in good health, and are, to a man, " spoiling for a fight." The long roll is to them a most welcome summons. Nothing they dread so much as to lie inactive in camp. What they want is 10 do a disagreeable piece of work up just as quickly as possible, that they may go to their homes, their wives, brothers, sisters, swee-.hearts, and parents. They are well armed and generall well drilled. A deserter from the rebel army says that 200 men were killed behind the shore bat teries in the late battle between the Lex ington and " Yankee." It was reported on good authority that the rebel " Yankee," gun boat, after our fleet bad left, returned to Columbus very badly injured, with many killed and wounded, and that before landing she sank suddenly, and that only two of her crew escaped. It needs, however, full confirmation. The following proclamation has been issued by the bandit, Jeff. Thompson PROCLAMATION. Hi.r QciBTiBS Ftrst Mrt., Dm M. 9. Q. 1 Camp Htjnteb, September 2, 1801 . ) To all whom it may concern : Whbbsas, Major-General John C. Fremont, commanding the minions of Abraham Lincoln, in the State of Missouri, has seen fit to declare Martial Law throughout the whole State, and has threatened to shoot any citizen-soldier found in arms within certain limits ; also to confiscate the property and free the negroes belonging to the members of the Missouri State Guard. Therefore, know ye that I, M. Jeff. Thompson, Brigadier-General of the First Military District of Missouri, having not only the military authority of Brigadier-General, but certain police powers, granted by Acting Governor Thos. C. Reynolds, and confirmed afterwards by Governor Jackson, do most solemnly promise that for every member of the Missouri State Guard or soldier of our allies, the armies of the Confederate' States, who shall be put to death in pursuance of the said order of General Fremont, that I will hang, draw and quarter a minion of said Abraham Lincoln. While I am anxious that this unfortunate war snail tie conducted, if possible, upon the most li--Til principles of civilised warfare au.! ."ei.t . ider that I have issued has been with iu.it object---yet if this rule is to be adopted, (and it must first be done by qur enemies,) 1 intend to exceed General Fremont in his excesses, and will make all tories that come within my reach- rue the ac-j that a different policy was adopted by their leaJers. Already mills, barns, warehouses, and other private property, have been wastefully and wantonly destroyed by the enemy in this district, while we have taken nothing except articles strictly contraband or absolutely necessary. Should these things be repeated, I will retaliate ten fold, so help me God ! M.JEFF. THOMPSON, Brigadier-General Commanding. GThe City Council will meet to-night Two very important subjects will occupy their attention; oue, the night police, and the other, the question whether the city, will give employment to the scores of idle men, now in the place. Nearly two hundred have petitioned the Council for work at 60 cents per day to be paid we presume in City Orders, This is not equal to the pay of a private soldier in the ranks of the army, and we would advise the Council to refer all such applicants to the recruiting officers. An association in this city is prepared to support the family of every poor man who volunteers in the service of the Government. There is therefore no reason why all such, out of employment and petitioning the city to give them work for sixty cents a day in city orders, should not a once enlist in the army, thereby securing better wages for themselves, and 'tendering certain the support of their families. We hope that the Council will not encourage this disposition, of a portion of our fellowcitizens to remain at home and reap the ben. efit of the labors of their more public spirited brethren. If any man is out of employment, he can, at once, by entering the army be ted and clothed and receive besides forty-two ceats per diem, with a bounty of $100 at the close of the war, and a pension for his family, in case of death ; and during his absence his family will bo properly cared for and supported. Let Mayor Baker explain these facts to the men who are so clamorous fcr work. The sooner a peace is conquered, the sooner will the former tide of prosperity return, and employment for all be found, at remunerative prices. Every man's duty, at this junction, id to give his services and his time to the National Government. Sy No man stands higher in the atfections of the American people then President Lincoln. Amidst all the detraction and criticism which have been visited upon his '. councillors and agents, no word has been i uttered against the President himself. He possesses the confidence of the American le more thoroughly tUan any other pnbr r J J lie man since the days of Andrew Jackson They feel that he is an honest man, that he has the conscience of this fight, and that he labors with but a single eye to the glory, the greatness, and the perpetuity of thisv Republic. And, after ail, honesty la the 80(11 of Pablic welfare for with purity at the head of the nation, the body is healthy and happy. j- The detection of copies of Hardee's tactics, and other military works, and letters on "Smuggling made easy," in bundles of the Louisville Courier, fresh from the Courier office, places the proprietors of that delectabJe in a delicate situation, pro0 g dQ the5r duty

Army Correspondence.

Camp Lindkll, Sept. 14. 1861. Editoes Journal : We have received marching orders, and to-day we leave St. Louis. Whither we are going is a mys tery which not even those who pretend to know everything, can at present penetrate. I guess our destination to be Jefferson City. Col. Baker' cavalry preceded us la.it night, and so did tire 8th Indiana. The 24th, I have learned, also accompanies us ; so you see the Hoosier boys will be all together, and if we have.a brash, Buena Vista wiil be amply revenged. It weald have been ; better that Jeff. Davis had bitten his tongue j ik. ha. fhn nnnalled for con- ; demnatorv slur be did after the battle al- i i.,rfl tn Martin Green and his myrmidons ! are not-the only ones that we Lwe an ac count with. General Fremont must have intelligence of other movements on the side of the rebels, or such a force would not be despatched. There are troopB there already sufficiently numerous to crush Green and his pack of bridge burners. This morning we received our rifles and sabre bayonets. Their bore is so large that if a ball hits a secessionist, it will split him open. The boys are hugely delighted, and if they had got their pay they would be entirely satisfied. If we had remained two or three days longer, we should hRve been paid off, as our money is ready for u s, and the pay rolls partially made out. Those of our sick who are too weak to be removed, will be transferred to the general hospital. They will number some fourteen or fifteen. There are now quite a number sick ; mostly from fever, fever and ague, and diarrhoea. I hope that the climate of North-eastern Missouri will rid us of these complaints. Our Doctors, Walker and White, and their assistants, the brothers Hoagland, Oscar and Willie, have bad an arduous time, but they have proved themselves worthy men, and fully equal to all occasions. There has been but one death, Micbail Waters, and there is another case, that of a man from Mark's company, which will probably be fatal. His complaint is pneumonia. If our friends have missives to send us, i think they had better direct them as heretofore, and the Postmaster at St. Louis will see to if that they are torwaraeii to us. T. M. Tennessee Impudence. For cool assurance, we have seen nothing, lately, mOns refreshingthan ZollicofFer's dls. patch to Governor Magoffin. He informs Kentuckians that the safety of Tennessee necessitates the occupation of Cumberland Gap, and other mountain positions in Kentucky, which he has" taken possession of, and will hold until the federal troops retire from that State, and. the federal camps, composed entirely of Kentuckians, are broken up. The Tennesseeans are said 'to need shoes, coffee, and other necessaries of life, badly, and we presume the next thing we bear, will be a dispatch from General Zollicoffer to Gov. Magoffin, announcing that he has taken possession of all the articles of that description on which he conld lay his hands, out of a purely military necessity. Bowliug Green win be seized next, on account of . military necessity. If Kentacky submits to such indignities an Tennessee has heaped upon her, she deserve.8 to have the glory of her past history blotted out of recollection, and to remain a hissing and by-word through all generations to come. New York and Pennsylvania have as many fighting men within their borders as all the seceded States, and yet, to their shame be it said, not only are they unable alone but with all New England to hack them to protect the capitol at Washington. Instead of letting the North-west devote all of their energies to exterminating rebellion ou the banks of the Mississippi, and opening that river for navigation to its mouth, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois are repeatedly called on for men to protect the borders of Pennsylvania gaud defend the Capital. Wberever danger threatens any portion of the country, there are Indiana regiments to meet it. At Washington, on the Upper Potomac, at Baltimore, in Western Virginia, at Jefferson City, St. Louis, I ronton, Cairo, and Paducah the only poiot3 where the enemy manifests a disposition to attack us are found Indiana legions, with stout anus and cheerful hearts, to meet the foe. What other State in the Union can say the same ? What Hoosier can be found whose heart does not swell with pride, when he reflects upon the manner in which his gallant State has outstripped all of her sisters in rallying to the defense of onr noble Constitution and beautiful flag. Help Wanted y tine Cemmlttcs on Kreollng n JDi til Room. The above Committee have met With unbounded success iu their labors, collecting materials for the contemplated Drill Room. They need a few wagons and ax men to procure timber for the frame. Ten wagon3 and twenty men are necessary to do the work, and teamsters and ax men are hereby requested to report themselves for duty tomorrow morning to Geo. Foster or Wm. E. Hollingswortb. Turn out, boys, and lend your services for the erection oi the new building. Let us att help. When finished it will be the common property of all. A Panic in Rockport. By the Steamer Eugene, from Louisville, we learn that the people of Rockport were thrown iuto great excitement, Monday, by the report that the secessionists of Hawesvilie were en route to attack the town. The people of the county were summoned to town, and preparations were made to " clean out '' the traitors. It was finally discovered that they were the victims of sorue heartless wag, who, doubtless, started the report to find out how many men were yet left in old Spencer. At the latest advices all was quiet in Rockport. Four companies o! Col. Baker's cav alry regiment, under Major Gavitt, left St Louis for Weston Missouri, on the Iron Mountain Railroad, last Saturday. ——>The Conewago left yesterday for Cairo in place of the Charley Bowen. The latter has laid up a few days, for repairs.

A Huge Fleet.—By the following, which

we copy from the Louisville Courier, it will be seen that the Tennesseeans are soon to have as much as they can attend to in their own State. They can bet their existence with a sure chance of winning, that Fremont intends putting his flat-boats to a good use : A steamboat loaded with cannon, muskets, and men, landed at onr- wharf at the foot of Third street Saturday evening. It was from Cincinnati, and is the flag boat of an extensive fleet of steamers and barges. Some ten other steamers, each towing ten barges, are in the river above, and will reach here in a few hours. The expedi tin was purchasing chain cable ar.d an chors in this city Saturday, and all thing combined, seem to indicate the making of a bridge across the Ohio and Mississippi as formidable as that on which Xerxes contemplated his marvelous deeds. Some of the boats are loaded with men, some with cannon; and some with chain cable. In ad-, dition to those barges, some thirty or forty barges went through the canal Saturday, so that the whole of the barges must number 150 quite enough to bridge the Ohio, or to be sunk in the Mississippi The Tribunes Washington dispatches) contain the following which was received at the Navy Department this morning, the lath . ci OSf DHAtl United States Ship Richmond, at Sea, "i August 28, 1861. Sib: The following is a portion of a conversation that occurred this morning be tween Capt. Morris, of the Royal Navy and myself, during my visit to the guard ship at Port Royal: "I suppose, " he remarked, ' you are in search of those privateers. We are ordered to observe a strict neutrality, and if the Sumter -were to come in to-mor row, she would receive the same attention aad assistance that you have we can make no difference. ' tasked. " Is that observing a strict neutrality ? Is it not recognizing is that the meaning of her majesty's proclamation ? " "I understand, :' I added, " neutrality to mean that her subjects must not meddle in this affair, you can recognize no flag. " "yes," he replied, "I have received a copy of the flag. 1 will show you the letter. " He showed me the flag and read me an extract from a letter from the Lord's Commissioners of the Admiralty in which the seceded States are styl ed the Confederate States. It says in the event of any vessel bearing the flag of the Confederate States you are to observe a strict neutrality. The flag is described, and that the number of stars will be increased in case new States should join the Confed eratioti. Thia is, as near as I can remember, the substance of that portion of our conver sation 1 am, respectfully, your obedient sjsrvaat, To Oapt. Joaa Pops. f0r Ttw action taken by the meeting Monday night secures beyond a doubt, the speedy organization of a regiment, at least in the Legion. The amount subscribed will -furnish a fund sufficient to uniform all those who are not able to uniform themselves. We call the attention of Captains of Companies to the fact that it is expected that all who ate able will furnish their own troiforms. This will make the " uniform fund " ample for uniforming those who cannot purchase a uniform., - , aj. Sletitner hate a way of dealing with traitors that will soon make the breed less troublesome. The rebels in Rome and Wirt couhties,eneouraged by the presence of Wise and Floyd's troops and disregarding the oath of allegiance, which' most of them had taken, commenced committing depredations. Whenever Slemmer lays hands on such they nre promptly shot without benefit of clergy. "' Wholesome Order. Brig, General E. A. Paice, fn command at Paducah, has issued the following proclamation: Headquarters, Padocab, Sept. 6. Captains of companies will keep their men together, and under no pretense per mit them to straggle from their commands. They will not permit any soldier to enter any private dwelling, or take and destroy any property unless by command of an offi cer. Company officers will We considered guilty of disobedience of orders if this order is not strictly complied witfe. No officer or soldier will b permitted to hold conversation with any slaves or colored people of this town, nor insult or abuse any person. By order of Brig. Gen. B. A. PAINE. Uncle Sam seems to be designing mischief in the neighborhood of New Orleans. Tbe New Orleans Delta, of the 11th inst., learns through letters received there from Berwick's Bay, that in addition to tii steamers Hunts ville and South Carolina, now cruising between Atchafalaya and Vermillion, another Lincoln vessel had arrived, and was engaged in staking out the channel of Atchafalaya river. General Twiggs has detached a force to go. down and look after the matter. - - Home Military Affairs.- There was a special meeting of the Military Board at Frankfort yesterday, at which important action was taken ia reference to military affairs, in this city. A resolution wa3 passed providing that tbe arms in the hands of tbe companies in this city belonging to the State Guard be plaeed in one general armory, where they will be kept at al! times, save when in the hands of members of the ! companies for actual drill purposes. A resolution was also passed according to Captain Watkin's company the Semple Battery, six guns, two twelve-pounders and four six-pounders, the three already in this city to be included in the number. Louisville Journal. The mystery attending the move ments of tbe State Guard in this city seems to accumulate. They have been holding private meetings of late, the proceedings of which are kept strictly secret We are assured that many members ofvthe different companies have reft for the Southern Confederacy, or for some point South of Louisville, daring the past forty-eight hours, and it is well known that guns belonging to certain companies of the Guard have either been, removed from tbe city of sent to unusual places of desposit within the city limits. - J.ouisnlle Journal.
