The prospect that the odiou3 franking nriBiWn will ri afTnrda the ro- I ..t .:n.,.;.. n.;;r I self originally, was not'much out of the way, but the advantages taken of it by un- I scrupulous politicians have latterly made its I exercise extremely offensive.

We have recent ly beard of Congressmen sending their dirty linen home for cleansing and repairs under their frank.

the the manner in which the franking priv ilege is abused, we think its abolition will t beneficially in other particulars Three-fourths of the long, dry, discursive speeches which now clog the wheels of leg islation are made especially for " bunkum " home consumption. The members de livering these, avail themselves of the franking privilege to Bcatter them broad cast over their respective districts for the purpose of convincing their unsophisticated I constituents that their Congressman is not only mindful of them, but that he can talk in Washington "just like a book." We are in hopes that when members have to pay postage on their miserable effusions, they will feel that the necessity for having their views known by the country no longer exists, and we will be spared what is now quiteiin affliction. These dawdling bunkum speeches have beerf a curse to the country, fjr while they have added thousands of dollars to its expenses by the delay they necessarily occasion legislation, they have had a tendency, in some instances, to blind and humbug the people. We are not so certain but that the course adopted in the English Parliament is the best after all. J nere,it a gentleman wishes to spealt he musi have something to say and confine himself to the subject under consideration, or he is hooted down instanter. But we are in hopes the destruction of the franking privilege will go a great ways towards remedying the evil of which we complain, and we trust Mr. Colfax will crowd his bill through. Ug We are informed this morning that an official order has been published in St. Louis, commanding the newspapers throughout that State, to furnish a copy of their respective issues to the Commander of that department, under penalty of being suppressed. The zeal and energy of our commanding officers against the newspapers is oioit untiring. Was half the same er ergy directed against the rebels, secession Would only be known aa a thing of the past. gt3f"The exploit of the Union troops at " Blue Gap," is but an earnest of what our soldiers could do if their officers would give them an opportunity. They left Romney at midnight, and notwithstanding the ground was covered to a depth of four inches with snow, marched all night and attacked the rebels at daybreak. Our boys, wa have no doubt, " went in," with a regular western whoop, while the secesh " went out," with a stampede. They were surprised, and sloped. Had the Western boys remained in their camps at Romney, shivering around their camp fires, until the rebel Gen. Jackson had perfected his arrangements and consolidated his forces, they would have been attacked by such numbers that resistance would have been useless. . Eta?" Some soldiers have been engaged in quarrying stone for some time past, in the vicinity of Carrsville, Ky, but on the opposite side of the river. Finding themselves getting short of provisions, they dispatched a email party to Carrsville to lay in a fresh snpply. A squad of rebel cavalry dropped into the village, about the same time, and " gobbled up" the Union troops. Deeming an explanation necessary, several of the citizens visited the camp across the river to demonstrate that they were entirely innocent ofjany complicity in tbe surprise of the Federal troops. Their explanations appear to have been unsatisfactory, for they were immediately placed under arrest and are now held as hostages for the return of the Union prisoners. The rebel scouting parties still have entire control of the whole country between Henderson aud Smithland, and are likely to have for many days to come, judging from present appearances. During the last thirty years four thousand million feet of lumber have been surveyed in Bangor, Maine.

The Gip' between Henderaoix m

Our enterprising cotemporaries, the LoulSV.Ile Journal, Cincinnati ouuiiu.itt' sum ... . n. i r Missouri Republican have suddenly discov ered that something must be done to stop the smuggling across the lines between Henderson and Sinithland. Months ago, we called the attention of the military au thorities to this matter, und yet it has been suffered to go on unmolested, while thousands of dollars worth of goods, and letters containing important information, are daily taken across the river and sent to the Southern Confederacy ooumern onitucratj It is a fact so noto rious that the neglect to remedy it can only t . . i i . a . r BliriDUiea to B. laiscouLf pnoii oi wen thntIani1 tmrms w nx told, are Rhiv'"j, "l 1 erint; in their tenia, in Wisconsin, ready to move. If they are not needed in the field and it is very evident we have no work for the force already there why cannot they be used to garrison these towns. A battalb , ion of infantry ought to be stationed at Henderson. Mt. Vernon, "Jniontown, Shawneetown. Cave-in-Eock, Elizabeth town. 1 Ford's Ferry and Casey ville, and every rirh or woman landing at either of these points or entering from the interior, should be , . r.,i, .l :r v.. ;.. satisfactory account of themselves, they should be locked np. livery package ana trunk, and bale ought to be scrutini:'.ed I and femnln insnectora annointed to investigate the crinoline of certain "ladies" who travel up and down the river, meeting their co - workers in treason at this and other points. It is no time to stand on ceremony, and if the war is to be, paradoxically speaking, a war of peace, then let us carry out the "peace" measures with such efficiency as will lead to some fruitful results. We know that a regular express ruus from Nashville to Cave-in-Rock, and various towns on the river. This is true likewise that a secessionist carries letters from Hawesville and Owensboro to parties Soutn every week, charging ten cents for every letter so transmitted. It is well Isnown that Southern Illinois is full of traitor3, and they are not dead or asleep by any mean?, i and they are assisting in this work of for warding supplies of medicine?, military goods, &c, to the rebel army. The1-gap" between this point and Paducah ia also the great " through route " to Dixie for travelers. For the last three months, e.x'tf--f -t.iches.und wagoo3 have been runuii.g to the interior from Caseyville and Uuioukovvn, and the registers of the packets prove that a large proportion of the travelers bound down the river, get off t t"e points or adjacent towns, from whence they go southward. The import ance of attending" xu this mat ter U becom ing more apparent, because it seems as though the government was relying upou tue blockade to crush the rebellion aud j 71 whilo it is impossible to ship from this I cUy a bale of sheeting, eveii to a Uuiou man, if he lived in a suspected locality, from Vinceunes, Olney, and other towns on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, goods are I 1 -i t 3 ) i i i i v ' and driven to the rebel army by the way of Gray ville. Carmi. and the ferries on the river. A gentleman who came lrom New Or leans last month, informed us that the se cessionists in Nashville said they intended to keep this way open, as they bail mauy l valuable men " in the North, who would join the rebel ' army through this route These " valuable men " carry with them tbe unmber of our troops, where they are stationed, plans of our fortifications and other important information, and yet no steps are taken to arrest thetn or prevent their going to the rebel camps. W agree with our cotemporaries that " it is high time, the matter should le investigated."' Bs5" The Washington correpoudetit of the Cincinnati Commercial says there have been but two rains within a monib in that vicinity. How our commanding officers must have cursed the perversity of the weather in persisting to remain fine, when they were so anxious for an excuse fur no forward movement 1 The same authority states that the Union army, on tbe Virginia side, opposite Washington, consists of ten divi.iioui four brigades each. The brigades will average about 5,000 men each. There are nearly as many more troops at various points on the Washington side of the Potomac. The Union army in Eastern Virginia must number over 300,000 men. No wonder Gen. McClellan is at a loss what to do with them. Tho Court Martial to try tho bridge burners of North Missouri, is now in session at Palmyra. Col. Groesbeck, of the 39th Ohio, is actitig President. The number of i prisoners to be tried is 30 most of theui ordinary farmers. Some deny having any hand in tho burning, and others insist that they were acting under the orders of Gen. Price, and consequently are not responsible agents, and should bo treated as prisoners of war. If convicted, it is not improbable that the secessionists will ret up a protest against their execution, and Gen. Ilulleck will feel under the necessity of suspending his order, as be did that relating to the ; collection of money from secessionist., to ! relieve Union refugees. j EG?" Wash. Graham of Cairo intei.ds sueing the editors of the Chicago Tribune for slander. That paper has been quite conspicuous in aspersing private charactersWe fear, however, if "Wash" gets a judgment he will be baest on the execution. Bu We infer from the nature of Mm dispatch from Indianapolis, that the Democratic Convention adjourned without manufacturing a " platform."

The Gunboat Fleet at Cairo The probabilities of taktug Coluinbus How Jeff. Thompion'a army, lives Corraspondeucs of the Missouri Kepub licao. Cairo, January 7. While affairs are bo still on land, the navy is more than atoning for it by increased activity. ' Steamers are moving from one point to another," transferring necessary loads, some far immediate physical comfort, some for future offensive operations, while a score of little tags dart along the water, pulling officiously with the mighty responsibility of errand delivery.

They may be seen at any moment dragging away at a load four times the size of themselves, or towing those unshapely monsters, the floating batteries. These have not yet received their armament of mortars, and are consequently not ready for service. They can be made so in a few days. The gunboats are nearly completed, the last finishing touches being all that ia now necessary. The Benton, which will be the flag ship, has had its boiler placed lower in the nun, ana floats upon the water the most lormiuaDie . . river craft probably ever made. From trial the jar caused by firing on ine amereni s ng utasi or ra.jrp, V while the craft can be moved in position - th wag anlicipated. They will aoon thunder their broadsides before Columbus, and on their effect will hang the late of the rebel stronghold. While the Federal gunners under cover of the iron sides will be working more sately than in casemates. their open earthworks will be tully exposed to the tailing storm ot sliot and shell. The advantage possessed by the assail ants in such a case was fully shown at Port Uoya)i an,i wilD lhe immense mortars and e,,ienj;j rrUni of the iireseut fleet iu full play. Columbus cannot beheld. Th J" fect aia of sbeU fanintr among its defeuders, while not one shot in two hundred lired at the boats will prove effoctive, unless setting at naught all calculations of science. Although under estimating the struggle nec- , i ii i . eseary to take uoiumous wouiu ue worse than tolly, the opposite view can oe rendered still more injurious by embraeiug the extreme and placing before Union soldiers the ghosts of impossible and barely imaginable terrors. Every clump of bushes around Columbus is not a masked battery, lime since, killing so many, and nearly breaking the leg ot Sir ttisbop, alter whose lady it was named. To show the difficulty of hitting vessels on the river, the case of the Lexington and Conestoga, which occurred when I first came to Cairo some months since, will demonsUite. These boats were engaged for over three hours with seeral batteries, in all twenty gnus, just above Columbus, and although the cannonading was kept up vigorously by the Con federates, not a single shot took eflect. A gunboat, wheu in action, lies with the bow up stream, in which position it is more motiouless, and does not sway with the cur rent s action, only the stern s breaulu atlorus an object for its opponent's aim, and at it mile and a half, or even Ie33, this apiwars small At peaceful practice it would be hard to hit n similar target, and iu the heat of bat tle it is much more ditlicult. firt, with all the bragging and taunts of another Manas sas, the most, prudent military men stoutly am rm that Columbus can and will be taken. The Confederate army now there number about thirty thousand strong ; and a deser tcr who came into tbe lines, night uelore last, states that sir Iiuntlrpd torpedoes are sunk in tho river between O.ilnmbus and Meinnhi.4. This last story sprves to show how credulous a commander would Iks who should place any reliance upon the men who . ; ' J " irvlU VIlo t cp;iin ni hit, nun tnnut: uiaivei0us tales of hair-breadth escapes. Something over a week ago, four persons, two ol whom affirmed themselves English men, and bad passes from the British Con sul at New Orleans, arrived here and passed on, the two Americans taking the oath.. A day or two since Gen. Grant received trustworthy iutelligeuce that one of the latter, named S. R. Reamer, who bad gone to Bridgeport, Connecticut, was a Southern spy, and his mission was to obtain perfect drawings of the machinery used in manu facturinsr certain parts of tT'ins. Measures have been taken that will bring Mr. Reamer's tour to a sudden close. From rumor it would seem that torpe does are thicker in the Mississippi than fishes, but as these articles have leen kuown for fil'tv vears, aud, never killed aov hut those setting them, they aie'iiot considered formidable by naval men. A log or piece of drift wood explodes them as easily as a vessel, and "startling reports may, per hapa, already be the order of the day, and iiijrht also, wherever they are placed. At New Madrid, just below Columbus, Jeff. Thompson's army, or mob, which has beeu stationed there tor a month or two, is rapidly disbanding. Stopping at Cape Girardeau the other day, I found that over two hundred had came iu lately, delivered up their arms, taken the oath, and returned to their homes. They were thoroughly sick of war, rag g-ed, ruined in pur.ie, with families starving and a bitter winter before them. Jeff's mode of living, one of them described, as from ''baud to mouth." Corn is taken to a mill and grouud, the meal being immedi ately distributed and baked as "hoe cake, in ashes, witi jork to accompany it, neither coffee, tea, flour, or such articles, being procurable. Iu lieu of the former, a drink is sometimes used, made by mixing and heating whisky three, water two, and mo lasses one part, making a species of "black jack," or "swamp coffee." They said most of their comrades would soon do as they hail, deliver themselves up or disperse. JelT. Thompsou was not on good terms with the rebel army officers, who declared he had doup more to curje their cause bv his cow ardly acts than an eternity of his future ex istence could atone for. ST" The 3d Indiana Cavalry, Col. Carter have been receiving tbe plaudits of those in authority. The following is a copy of a let ter of approval from Gen.

Fight on the Arkansas. Correspondence of the Leavenworth Time. Lawrkncb, Jan, 1, 1862. TwoCherokee3 arrived here last night

from the camp of the loyal old Creek Chief, Opothleyoholo, near the Big Bend of the Arkansas. They wish to be put into commnnication with the proper officers of the government, so as to obtain from them such direction and assistance as the exigencies of their condi tion require. Opothleyoholo uad been obliged to leave his home to avoid the an noyances of the disloyal pait-Dreeu3, wno had organized a force in the interest of secession. Hi3 camp, which was within the Chorokee Territory, was attacked by a force of 3,C00 Texas Rangers, with the rebel haltbreeds of both the Creeks and Cherokees, who had formed a junction with the Texans. rue creeK eniei naa two iiiousami Eve hundred Creeks, Seminoles and Kicka poos, and were joined bv two hundred an. I c 'i Jf, .ir . - fifly loyal Cherokees. A great number ot the rebels were killed in the fight, among whom were the Texan General Cooper, uud Lewis Mcintosh, an officer of the rebel Creeks. The loyal Indians lost fourteen men, among whom were six Creeks and lour Cherokees. These men have much valuable information which I shall take down for he information of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and of course for the use of any other officer of the government who may desire it. These men brought some kind of papers with them from the camp, and banded them to some of the Delaware Chiefs to be sent to the headquarters of Major Geueral Hunter. I have not seen the papers, but as the loyal Indians had not a single white man among them, it is possible the papers may lack much of regular forms, but yet may be the genuine expression of the minds of the parties fi" The Washington correspondents re port the British troops now pouriag into Canada, as a menace to this country, are to be permitted to pass through Maine, to save the almost impassable overland journey of 700 miles through a wilderness in the dead of winter, the St. Lawrence being frozeu up. If there is any foundation for this story, it shows a rare magnanimity on the part of our government. When arms procured for the American government are stopped on their way by royal proclamation ; when rebel privateers are permitted to fit out at Canadian, not to say English ports, and wheu our goverumeut vessels in distress are not even allowed to coal at the same places, it is a charming evidence of our good nature to permit Great Britain to use our ports and railroads to place her troops in a position to do us the most damage possible in the event of a war. Two and a half nflllion dollars have arrived in St. Louis for the use of the Chief Quartermaster of that department. People who hare been waiting for months for money due them from the government, will re joice and be exceeding glad. T" Charles JefTerds convicted of the murder of Matthews and Walton in New Yoik, was on batnrday last sentenced to confinement in the State's prison at hard labor until the 23rd of February, 18t"3, on which iliy he is .to lie Imnxr. This ia the refinement of cruelty. MOfrltG INTiCIIKSTS. tf YesterdHy was as disagreeable a day as we haT e.t ;erienced this winter. A thick fog lasted all day, and the sidewalks and crossings were very muddy, from the tiled of the recent rains. tf It will be seen by our dispatches that Treasury notes are four per cent dis count in Washington. fie Large lots of elegant military goods and equipments received daily at Lyons' by express, and sold at very low figures. j" Edward Pride, aged 18, a member of Company G, 42ud Regiment died at tbe boepital yesterday of typhoid fever. He was a resident of Pike county. EOF" tVe are requested fo state that old sheets aud pillow case., will be gratefully received hr the Surgeon of the Genem' Hospital. Ws" A reducliou cf ten percent will Inmade ou fine clothing and furnishing goods at Lyons' during the next thirty days. He has still a very large stock of first raie goods for civilians wear, and will during the present month give his friends and customers great bargains. tea? Capt. J. B. Archer, so well and favorably known in connection with ibe Louisville and Memphis trade, was a passenger for Padncah on the last trip of the Golden State. Capt. A. has sufi'ered from severe illness during the past two ""months, but is now recovering slowly. gfcs?" Recruiting for Col. Owen's regiment progresses quite briskly, large numbers ar- f riving daily by the railroad from the interior, ami a goodly number coming in from different parts of Southern Indiana. It is confidently expected that the regiment will be complete in a very short time. Personal. Col. Veatch and Adjutant Walker of the 25ih regiment were in the city yesterday on a brief visit to their friends. The 25lh is still at St. Louis awaiting marching orders. fiiiay We are requested to state that a letter has been received from Lieut. Wm. Mauk, Co. A, 32d Reg't. Ind. Vol. (Col, Willich's,) desiring patriotic citizens to contribute mittens, socks, comforters, &c, for the men of that Company, many of whom are from Rvansville. Any articles left at either the residence or office of the Mayor will be forwarded. 8S We notice that Bevernl of tho officers attached to legiments in St. Leu is, which certainly would form a portion of any force likely to go South, are at honw on furloughs of twenty days. This, to our mind, looks.like no advance movement is designed by General Halleck, during this winter. Delay I delay I twenty days! that 's not long, and only costs a matter of $40,000,000. Things mustn't be precipitated. There might be another Bull Run.

tasT" The Soldiers' Belief Committee ia embarrassed for want of the necessary funds to relieve the families of volunteers. Every dollar subscribed, whether in goods or money has been faithfully anil most economically applied, and the members of the committee, have visited all the destitute families of volunteers in the city, relieving their wants and carrying joy and comfort to many a desolate hearth. Althongh every member of the committee has done his duty, yet we cannot refrain from making honora

ble mention of Messrs. Hallock and Burtis who have been unremitting in their efforts to carry out the wishes of the subscribers to the Relief Fund We respectfully suggost to the ladies of the diQ'erent Knitting Societies tbe proprie ty of appropriating from their treasuries a , . " , . , ... . . mall sum for the relief of families of solUiers, instead of using all their means for purchasing materials for socks, mittens, &c. We do this, because several of the lady managers of these societies have spo ken to us upon the subject, and beeause we ate aware that the ladies are anxious to nse their means iu such a manner as will best promote the good of the Cause. Our brave men in the field would readily dispense with additional comforts, if they could feel that their families are cared for. We can assure the ladies that there are many families iu this city who are dependent for tiieir daily bread upon the Relief Committee, and they ought not to be straitened for means to carry out their benevolent designs. - $ri lu publishing the official order of Col. Carlin yesterday, complimentary of the First Indiana Cavalry, we designed remarking that Col. Carlin himself is a regular army officer, aud when we remember how seldom officers of that character are disposed to give undue pra'ue to volunteers, the compliment must be regarded as especially merited, and therefore of more than ordinary value. We are gratified to learn that the regiment ia in the enjoyment of excellent health, that the officers and men feel fully competent for any duty, and are ever ready with foot, in stirrup to mount and be off after the Secesh. Cfe- The body of Capt. Burr II. Polkanother victim to Gen. Thomas' terrible re treat from Cumlierland Ford was brought to his home at Princeton, on Wednesday. Mr. Polk was a young man of much prom ise, formerly connected with the Princeton Clarion, and, at the time of his enlistment, deputy Clerk of Gibson county. He ap. peared to bo of a gentle, retiring disposi tion. vet when his country called for bis services, stepped forth promptly and unhesl tatingly leaving the delights of a pleasant home-circle and cheerfully accepting the hardships of camp life. He was in the bat tie of Wild Cat, and, with the whole of his regiment, behaved gallantly. It is a grieV' ous crime that so gallant a regiment should b) sacrificed by such incompetency.
