WEEKLY SENTINEL

WE Dil SOW MAI 1861 Hwured Fight lontrattlctea. Quite n sensation was produced by tbe dispatches of Saturday night, stating that Sewell's Point had been taken by the Federal troop, with a heavy Mortality list. The dtepatches hut night contradid those of Saturday night, both of which will be found in our telegraph column. Moral Instructor of the Northern Prisen It appears from the Legislative Report., that he Mora. Instructor of tbe Northern Prison ho singular qualification for bis position. In re ponse to an inquiry of Mr. McLia. as to What is the condition of the Moral Instructor of that prison," Mr. Sun max remarked, "If the genttemaa desires to know his qualification for teudiug a stud horse, I con answer that he ia we'l noalified for that position." The Moral Instructiou of die prisoners under Republican domination ha fallai into queer hands, unless the State intends to i urn its attention to the improvement of tbe breed of horses. it- cemsslssary iwaanmrm. We ca.l attention to the discussion and action of the Eiouse of Representatives on Saturday, 01 the report ot the Committee 011 die Commissary Department. The investigation of the Committee developed such a state of afirs, that tle House, by a vote of ajes 70, Mays 0, and two present and not voting, taased a resolution " that the Governor be equested to remove the present Commissary 'evterfil 'Isaiah Maw) for incompetency and Bjsjfr.isance in office." There must have been .rtdoubted and gros dereliction of duty to have forced ttia vote of censure from a Republican 'louse. Mr. Ma nm it is a pet of Governor Moarox, and his administration of the office happen defended and sustained by His Excellency and hi organ, the Journal If a Democratic official stood in the shoes of Mr Ml, the Governor an i the Journal wonld have howled charge of corruption against the Democratic party from one end of the State to the other. Now we suppose faey will be as meek as lambs. The Rubicon Passed. The war news in the telegraphic column this noming will be found exceedingly interesting, fojftojttaj, the United State? forces made an aggressive movement by invading the soil of Vir ginia. Sjme fifteen thousand tr'wps crossed the i'otomu and took possession of Alexandria. The Rebel forces retreated without offering any re istance. An incident occurred in Alexandria, which cansed intense feeling. Col. Ellswokth, of the Zouaves, was killed by a man of the name of Jaca-sox, the keeper of a hotel at that place. It appeals that Ellsworth had entered the hotel, and hauled down from the top of the building a secession fag. As he was coming down stairs. Jackson shot him with a fowling piece, killing him instantly. Colonel Ellswostu was highly esteemed by his friends, and was a young man of fine promise. The President, it is said is deeply affected by the event, and every demonstration of respect at Washington and elsewhere was paid to his meme.-y. Jacssos was immei i'elr idled by a mend er of the Zouave regiment fit m Troy. In young Ellsworth's case it i: may be truly snid "Ibe path of ssrj leads but to the grave The I'nion forces, it is reported, advanced to Fairfax Court House to take possession of a railroad t 1 hat point for the purpose of preventing -einforeements from the Confederate forces at Richmond. It was expected at Washington that Motilität eous attacks would be made upon Har- : er Ferry and Sewell'a Point. It these move inents were made, there was bloody work. There :?re largo bodies of the Confederate troops at both these paces, well entrenched and prepared for Uieeostict. Cm Jceisswr. who had command of the ariny Lu the U-.ii canipain, has charge ot the forces at Harper ' Feoj, and probably BkaltEOAan it Jewell's Poiut. These movements inaugurate tbe civil strife etween contending sections, which will probably oe more terrible iu it results than any which has iarkeuel theptw of history. The gnimulerwho h-e charged the Administration wirb lack of energy will now be relieved by these aggressive operations, and tlie country will await with anxious suspense for the results of tbe first collision. The telegraph states that there are .'15,000 Confederate troops in marching order in Virginia and extensive iireimruUoM have been made to re nel all advances upon Richmond. Soon we must know the met.il of the contending forces, and the .'jihty if the Union army to accomplish the riued rossessiou of Virginia and the conquest of -s capful. If th; statement of the vote in Alexandria on Thursday be correct, as furnished by the Washington dispatches to the Cincinnati Enquirer, here wre but few Virginia soldiers at that point. Thw say: The soldiers at Alexandria voted, the result oae hundred and t.drtv three in favor of se js,on, two against it. ana tour not voun" i t . . . i . . this on the authority of the papers of that The Object of the War. We call attention to an able article which we copy from the Louisville Democrat in defense of tbe neutral position of Kentucky. The Democrat propose a most significant question: "What is the Government to be when preserved?" What is to be the future policy when the honor and integrity of the Government is viudicated? It is the .hit.- ot the 1' resident, and Congress at its coming session, to clearly define the purposes in view by those who hare control of the Governpsnt Mr. Line out and the Republican Congress have it in their power to develop a strong Union sentiment in the South, and give tho Union ana f the seceded States firm ground to stand upon in fighting the battle of the Union. If the object in prosecuting this war is for sectional domination, and to strike down the eenstitutiona rights of the States, nothing short of the entire subjugation of the South will hold tbe Southern States iu tbe Union. If no constitutional rights are to be disturbed, and a guaranty is given as to this, we predict that the war will be of short duration. In such a contingency, the Union men of tbe South will tight as gallantly for the preservation of the Government as the Union men of the North. We repeat that it is due to the whole country that the President and Congress should unequivocally declare the objects of the war, and the future policy of the Goverrment. Judge Douglas. Tbe Chicago Post, of Saturday says: Testerday forenoon Judge Doiolas revived somewhat, and his symptom i were more favorable, but from noon till three o'cle.k he appeared to be sinking rapidly: but at that time he obtained some sleep, from which he awoke in apparently better coudi tion than he had Leen in for the thirty-six hours preriotaly. At ten o'clock, when these lines were written, Iii - improved condition continued, and the anxious hearts around him beat high with renewed hope of aMu.it recovery. We notice that the Governor lias appoint ed ex-Brigadier General Hkkfren Major of the Tenth Regiment ot State troops. In a few days we expect to see His Excellency promote Capt. Moodi to an equal rank. This would be nothing more than equal and exact justice to the latter gentleman. We look for this, as the Governor professes to be governed by stnet impartiality. ' The JefTersonville Democrat sax tl lere are considerable complaints about the wheat crop in that region. The fly, in some localities, has done considerable damage to the wheat. The recent rains have operated very much against the farmers getting in their crops. fW During the severe illness of Douglas, praverrt were offered for him in many of the churches of Washington. Want a change! A few yean ago the clergy busy anathematizing the man for whom ate now praying.

Another Teat There is another test of the relative numerical 'strength of the parties to the war, that of the white males between the ages of eighteen and forty, live years in the loyal and disloyal Stat es Tbe requisite information in this respect is furnished by tbe late census. The number of white males between tbe ages of eighteen and forty five in tbe Loyal States is as follows, in round numbers:

California,. . . Connecticut,. Delaware,. . . Illinois Indiana,. . . . . 76,000 92.000 22,000 342,000 270,000 loi.000 21,000 125.000 246.000 150.000 32.000 65,000 134,000 778.000 468,000 10,000 581,000 Kansas, Maine,. . Massachusetts. Michigan Minnesota New Hampshire. - New Jersey New York", Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania,. . . Rhode Island :c.oo Vermont 63.000 Wisconsin 155.000 Total 3.800.000 The number of white males between the ages of eighteen and forty-five ia the disloyal States is as follows: Alabama 106.000 Arkansas.... 65.000 Florida 16.000 Georgia, 119,000 Louisiana 75,000 Mississippi 71.000 North Carolina, 132,000 South Carolina 60,000 Tennessee 167,000 Texas 81.000 Virginia 221 Total 1,113,000 The following is the number of white males be tween the ages of eighteen and forty five in what may be termed the neutral States: Kentucky 186,000 Marvland 120,000 Missouri 211,000 To il 517,000 Theloy.,1 States are altogether loyal. There is no division amongst their people as to the prosecution of the war. The disloyal States are not altogether disloyal. There is moreor I es latent Union sentiment in most of them, while North western Virginia is almost wholly for the Union; Tennessee may possibly decla - lor the Union at the August election; North Caro':ia is not hopelessly disunion; and Sam Horsnx says he looks for an early reaction in Texas. But on the supposition that all thedisluyal Sutesare wholly disloyal, the relative strength of the combaUnts is as follows in white males between the ages of eighteen and forty five: Lovai States 3,800.000 Disloyal State, 1,113,000 Preponderance of loyal States, 2,67,000 The preponderance of the loyafStates is more than double the entire numerical military force of the disloyal States. As ne have hitherto shown, the preponderance of the loyal States is greiter in all other mate rial respects th it is in men. The loval Suites have all the requisites of war in inexhaustless qu n.tities; the disloyal States have few of them. With these advantage on the side of the Fed-e.-al Government, the duration of the war is very largely a question for its own determination. 1 The State Militär- Department. The Madisou Courier, a radical Republican sheet, reviews the management of the military affairs of Indiana without gloves. We copy the following extract from an article in a late issue of that print, to show our readers how these matters appear through radical Republican spectacles. Al'tci referring to the fact that Governor Mortox had determined, if he could, to transfer four of the six regiments of State troops into the United States service, the Courier remarks-. Two regiments will le amply sufficient to guard the quinine and Quaker lines of defen.e adopted by tiie Commander in Chief, and the Saving to Indiana in dollars and cents, by the transfer of four of the State regiments to the United States, will be some five millions. The estimate for the pay and subsistence of a regiment is a million of dollars a year in the United Stales service, where there is a well organize! commissary department. It is said there is some dissatisfaction anion, the privates in the regiments transferred to Mr United States, many of whom did not voiutitetwith any intention of serving more than n year; but the officers generally prefer the long service. The telegrph informs our readers that contracts have been made for furnishing the six reg iments.with clothing, hats, blankets and shoes. We leant that the contract for shoes for five regi ments was allotted to a New York house, and that the clothing went to Cincinnati. We admire the benevolence, the far reaching charity of the Chief of the State administration. A large man should have large bowels ot compassion. The poor needle women and the Hebrew children, persecuted for centuries, scattered over the world, sre the special recipien's of the patronage of the Quartermaster of the State of Indiana. Charity, we are told, is the noblest impulse a generous mind can feel; and then, "t1 e truly generous is the tmlv wise; and he who loves not others lives unblest." ! istoiv and poetry arc full of the beauties of clraritv. The poor working women and the Hebrew children ot Cincinnati, to whom the contract for furnishing the uniforms for the regiments was awarded, will bless the administration of Gov. Morton. John Randolph ridiculed this far-reaching philanthropy when he told the ladies of Philadelphia that the 'suffering Greeks were at their doors." Dickens tried to do the same when he talked about sending moral pocket-handkerchiefs and red flannel shirts to the heathens in Africa. St. Paul, in one of his Epistles, says: "Hut if any one provide not for hi own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath den. cd the faith, and is worse than n infidel." The good people of this and other c ' c- and towns of Indiana, who have contributed of their small means to buy flannel, and of their time to make shirts for the volunteers, ought to be grateful to the Governor for being permitted to supply these articles to the State tree of cost. If their benevolence had been slower, tbe Hebrew children ami the sewing women of Cincinnati wouid have been paid by tbe State for the same. It is a pity that the generosity ot the ladies and people of Indiana shoald in any way be overruled to the disadvantage of tbe operatives of Ciuciu nati! The Harvest and the Public enlisnent at the Menth. Dr. Damkl Lks., of the Georgia University, writes to the Albany Atlas and Argus a letter, from which we make the following extract: The who it harvest 1ms been some days in progress in the Gulf States, and the crop is one of the best that has ever been made AIout half of the hand-- usualh employed in growing cotton, are actively engaged in raising ami, peas, oats and provisions, as well for a Inre army as for home consumption on the plantations, and in cities and villages. To show the supreme folly of Lincoln's war on commerce ami Northern manufactures to spite cotton growers, I ask your attention to the fact that the planter who had $20,000 worth of cotton on hand when Lincoln was inaugurated, can now sell it for tire thou sand dollars more tlian be could then. To injure the planting interest of the Confederate States ten millions, tbe sapient men in Wash ington are willing to damage the commercial and industrial interests of the North at least three hundred millions. So Ions as the war excite meut lasts no one is seusible of this injury, hut when that p uses off and it is seen th it the South baa M)0,000 square miles of territory which a million ot armed men from the North can not conquer nor hold against twelve millions, n.it.ves of the soil, somebody will count the cost of sub jugating a free agricultural people who have four millions of industrious slaves to feed and clothe their brave armies while defending their cornfields and firesides. Tbe extreme sparseness of our rural population is an obvious protection against a ruinous invasion; while the rich spoils of our implacable, exterminating enemies everywhere invite retaliation. Every man, woman and child here feels that extermination or indepen dence is certain to ensue from the second John Brown raid, the progress of Seward's "irrepressible conflict." AsToir.NDisG Bäk Frauds It is stated that the examination into the affairs of the Bank of Albany reveals a system of fraud extending for many years back, and some astounding developments in regard to tbe operations of one or two leading men iu the bank will lie made iu a few days. The attempts which have been made to "whitewash" certain guilty parties involved will also be exposed. Tbe books of tbe bank have been falsifies! in every conceivable way. It was even made to apf ear at tbe director's meeting that the deposits of the bank were onlv $250,000, whereas the actual amount was $400,000. Among other frauds, one note for $25,000 of a leading politician, which was supposed to be a paying asset of the bank, was paid by him seven years ago, and receipt thereof obtained ; the interest on this note was paid by the party interested in making it appear as an asset of tbe bank.

We gather the following items from our South em exchanges: Ajuu ro tu 8octh. We have the grati ficatioa to inform tbe public that Gen. Zollicoffer has succeeded in procuring a large quantity of arms for tbe use of our volunteers. One ship ment has been made to Chattanooga, where they now await the order of the Governor. Others will follow sneedilv. it is now rendered certain that there will be no deficiency of arm, to supply the number of volunteers that will be called ; into the field, with a first class weapon Nash rille Union. We leain that three companies are said to hare left Paducah to join the Tennessee troops on the State line. They carry with them 1,000 muskets and three pieces of artillery. We don"', know how true this is. but it should be inquired into. We do know that several pieces of light artillery were sent to that point by Governor Magoffin. Will he or Gen. Buckner make inquiry and see if these fellows are stealing Kentuckyaims to fight against Kentucky. Louiscille Dem. The Caors From all quarters of the South Wheat, corn, cotton and cane never presented so promising an appear n appearance. Hardlv anvthing can prevent the pnnluct of all these articles for this season exceeding all previous years. We have, too, an abundanc! of labor, to gather all our products. Our young men are off to fight our battles, and our negroes are at borne to tend and gather the crops. The cotton we shall pick, bale and store. Those who need it must come and buy, paying such prices as we shall demand, taking sll the risks of exportation. We can afford not to sell at any risk. Sugar, too, i a good article to keep, and it our North western friends can do without it, we can get along very comfortably without their corn, i meats and floiir. Their blockade at Cairo gives a o m . I n .a! I a nne chance lor our own proaucers oi mose ar tides Keutecky, Missouri and Tennessee can send their products to the Mississippi and ship them southward, and get good prices for them It is only the Northwest that is shut off from the sale of their surplus products and from the pur cha-e of ours. If she is willing to be blockaded snd shut out from her best market, we have no right to object. We hope there will tx: no inter ference with the Cairo blockade. If Missouri and Kentucky are satisfied with it, we see no grounds upon which we car. disapprove of so noble an example of self sacrifice. New Orleans Delta, 22d. Caors We learn that the crops in every section of the State are uncommonly promising, though comparatively backward. There are some complaints of rust in the wheat, but it has M yet appealed only on the blade, where it does little harm. It has not attacked the stalk, and the wheat is so ne ir maturity as to be nearly out of danger. The crop of wheat is like to be the largest one known in Georgia. Augusta (f?a.) Constitutionalist. Saltpktre Gates We learn from General Clemens that Governor Moore has authorized him to appoint two suitable persons to examine tbe Saltpetre Cares of North Alabama, with a view to the establishment of a gunpowder mill near Huutsville, or at some other convenient point in this section. At Santa Cave, near Larkinsville, Jackson county, Alabama, on the Memphis and Charleston Railrosd, powder was manufactured in considerable quantity, and sold by merchants in Huntsvilk, many years ago. Several gentle men, now resident in Huutsville, tell us that they have sold hundreds of pounds of it. A gentleman who ha recently explored a cave in Keel s Mountain, Jackson county, near Cole's Spring, on the same railroad, says that there are still excavations and wooden troughs, indicating the preparation of saltpetre there. It is said there is a saltpetre cave near the White Sulphur Springs, Morgan county, and another on Elk Ri er, Limestoue county. Any person knowing of the existence of saltpetre depo.-its in considerable quantity anywhere in this regin, will perform a patriotic duty by making it public, and should immediately communicate with General Clemens in persou or by letter. Huntstille (Alabama; Democrat. The Advatagfs of a Wab. The Augusta, Ga., Constitutionalist in an article discussing tbe "advantages of a war," thus sums up what it anticipates will be the benefit to the South from the present contest: Let the struggle come! We fear it not. We should regret it not. Though it will cost the South much of her bej-t blood; though it may waste her suli-t wi r, drain her resources, and plant w)verty in the now happy abodes of weailh, let it come! The Southern people will derive the following advantages lrom a war with the anti-slavery gov- I ernment ot the .North First. They will be enabled to establish their just claim, to be one of die most cbivalric and military nations in the world. This is desirable in itself, as a security against future aggressions, and as a vindication of the truth of history on this point in past wars. The historians of this country, who have had the making of the world's opinions, have been Northern men, and it is through that prejudiced medium European natious have formet! their estimates of Southern prowess and Southern c hamcter. Wherever it could be safely done. Northern deeds have been magnified and Southern deeds dwarfed. Wherever tbe South rnuld be disparaged and her institutions assailed, it has been insidiously and shamefully done, until Europe has been 1! to view us pretty much through Northern spectacles. We have yet a history to make for ourselves. It should be written with the sword, and in the blood of her persistent, unscrupulous slanderers, and in characters so vivid that the world can understand it. There can be no better time than now, in the outset of our career as a nation, to i m pi ess enemies and strangers alike with the policy of living at peace with us, ami treating us justly. Now is the time to conquer a lasting pe ice. and exact respectful treatment from the North for a generation or two to come. Second : They ill be enabled to put to a practical test the capacity of Southern resources fr maintaining, lor long periods, large armies in the field. It has been fashionable among Northern book makers, orators and editors, to deride Southern power, and disparage Southern resources. We are portrayed and ridiculed as a weak, poverty stricken race, incapable of feeding or of clothing ourselves, and wholly dependent on our Northern taskmasters, and necessarily destined to remain so, for all that can make a people comfortable in peace, and ellicient iu war. It is lime that some of these delusions of the Helper book should be dispelled, and it can only be done at the cannon's mouth. Third: The idea which above all others has encouraged abolition aggression is, that slavery as it exists with us is an element of weakness, that Southern society needed Northern protection from our slave population, and that we were at the mercy of au enemy that should see proper to invade us and place arms in the hands of our slaves. It is very important that an idea so wide of the truth, and so pernicious, should be exploded by the earliest practical test. Vague ap prehensions of this sort have been entertained by some of the nervous and timid of the weaker sex among us. It h is become a prevalent belief out side of our own limits. It was the instigation of the John Brown raid. Let us have a war with the North, and this phantom of danger will never again be conjured up by sane minds. Our slaves will prove the hup: efficient laborer a people at war ever left at home, to cultivate the soil aud supply the means for prolonged hostilities. The lesson will be valuable to ourselves as confirming confidence in our own strength, and will purchase immunity from further aggression founded on this false calculation. These are moral and social advantages. In addition there are physical advantages to tl. South to result from war of not leas striking value; for instance, first: Economy and thrift will take the place of careless waste, and prodigal expenditure to which our people are too much addicted. Second: The development of skill and resour ces in mechanical and manufacturing arts, and a proper diversity of pursuits, thus keeping at home millions of dollars hitherto flowing annually from us to build us alien and rival interesU. Third: The concentration of Southern capital upon enterprise- designed to knit our section together in a closer union, and to facilitate intercourse with foreign nations upou the fair principles of reciprocal trade. Fourth: The establishing a fine and cheap Government, such as the Federal Union was designed to be by its founders a Government free from the gigantic corruptions which taint the old Union, ami destroying in the fragments that yet cling to the Washington dynasty every vestige of State rights and real liberty. Whether the cloud of war now hanging over us have a silver lining, or be ever of unmitigated blackness whether it be an unmixed evil or a blessing in disguise, will make no change in the programme. War is not of our seeking. We preferred peace. We desired to be let alone to be allowed to separate from a section from which we apprehended continued aggression, injustice, and hostility under a Constitution that no longer sufficed for our protection, and to establish under m Constitjtion more congenial to our ta-te-. new g"ards for our future security. The right to go iu peace is denied ua. We have to fight for the privilege as our revolutionary sires fought for it. So be it. Th issue is accepted in no hesitating spirit; but iu the full confidence that the indomitable virtues of the Southern people will emerge, like refined gold, from the fiery furnace of the revolution. Tiie ordeal may be designed in tlie wiseeconoomy of Providence to test the fitness of our people to discharge the high duties and to enjoy the great ble aings which must result from tlie bloody ftrgggle. Tnx M i.MF. Ball. The Coroner of St. Louü states as the result of his experience at the late inquests, that a wound from a Minie rifle ball, in the fleshy part of the person, is sure iu almost every intancc to result fatslly.

Kor the I tail y Sentinel. Caar Xowro, May 2Mb, IS!. Editou Sintimel: I notice in the Journal, of this morning, an article of a column in length, devoted to a criticism of the review of the troops by Gen. McClellan, on yesterday. I know not who this gentleman is. that considers himself so well qualified for the position of military critic, but one thing is certain, that he is deficient in all

correct idea of propriety, as his article demonstates him to be in good sense, and military knowledge. He probably would consider, that the leading points in an obituary notice of the death of his mother, should be a strained effort at wit and sarcasm. Hi article proceeds upon tbe supposition that the review was an affair gotten up by the commanding general of this post as a pastime, and for the purpose of affording himself .... i the officers of Iiis command, an opportunity of displaying themselves, and illustrating to the bystander the great proficiency of tlie men in the various military evolutions. What are the facts? The Commanding General of the Department of th Ohio, vis- ". ,th,f P? , official capacity It was as muc" " ' v.encra. num vo turn out his command for review, as it would be to perform his duty on the field of battle. This duty was performed and to the credit of Gen. Morris' Brii gade it can be truthfully said, that the review turned out to be a much more complete success than he expected or had any right to expect. This was the opinion of Gen. McClellan, Gen. Reynolds, Lieut. Col. Wood. Gov. Morton, Gov. j Yates, Gov. Dennison, and others, all agreeing that the First Brigade of Indiana volunteers was entitled to the palm, so far as the Department of the Ohio is concerned. To be sure there were very many defects patent to the eye of an experienced militiry man. But when we consider that these troops have been only thirty days in service, and that a good share of that time has been absorbed in the necessaryincidents of being mustered into service, preparing camp equipments, obtaining arms, uniforms, kc, kc, and the further fact that tbe weather for the most of that time was such as to utter v pre j elude all possibility of drilling; I say when we j consider all these things, the review was a roost decided success, and exceeded the most sanguine expectations of those whose duty it was to con duct it. And yet this able critic of the Journal, the one who is allowed to occupy a full column in that paper, in these stirring times, coutd see nothing at all to applaud, but everything to ridicule and condemn. The only possible effect the article in question an hare, is to discourage the troops, and disgrace them in the estimation of the people throughout the State and country. All this remarkable man could see was the style of General McClellan' cap and other things of like importance, plainly indicating in what broad and majestic channels his mind is won't to run. In conclusion, I would recommend to the pro prietors of the Journal, if they have any regard for the ordinary proprieties of life or the welfare of their paper, to either discharge this able sa tirist and critic, or else employ some one to teach him the first rudiments ol common sense and pro priety. An Kye Witness. Correspondence Daily State Sentinel Letter from Camp Wallace. Camp Wai.i.ack, Fv.i" ille, Ind.,J hay 23,1841. j Dear Sentinel : The fine weather for the nast few days, has caused an epidemic to break out among our soldiers. Although it is quite prevalent in camp, and spreading rapidly, yet it is by no means dangerous, and iu no instmce yet has proved fatal. It seems to bafile the skiil of our physicians, who universally recommend allopathic treatment, but the patient seems to be favorable to homeopathy. It is known to most of your readers as " laziness," and is technically call d "Spring fever." It first manifests itself with symptoms of drowsiness, and the patient has a strong inclination for a shady tree in some re n: :te part of camp about time for battalion drill. The truth is, we are "spilin' for a muss," and are all growing impatient for a tight. Yesterdar we were aroused from our lethargy by tlie news that the steamer " Dunbar" intended passing cur camp ai.d bid defiance to us. 'I he captain said he would not stop his boat, ana "would rather die than hoist the American flag." All eyes were turned toward her as she left the landing, and neared the camp When within a few bun öred yards of us, two blank cartridges were fired across her bow, from the cannon, snd the third a ball cartridge held in readiness. The sight of this, with acompanvot neu sonic hundred vards below with loaded muskets, caused the captain's heart to fail, ami his firm resolution to vanish. He rounded to, shoved out a plank, nnd was boarded by the officer of the day, (Captain Foster) and 30 men, her manifesto examined and compared with her cargo, and the Captain permitted to proceed on his trip a much wiser man. The rifled cannon mentioned in a former letter, as being manufactured in Evansville, did not stand the test, but blew her breech off. It is said to have been caused by carelessness and inexperience in loading her. The other one still shoots admirably. I was pleased to read your complimentary notice of Col. McGinnis upon his being presented with his horse and equipage by the citizens of Indianapolis, and I do not believo there is a heart in the regiment that does not respond amen to every word it.contained. It is surprising at the rapidity with which he has gained the nflections of the soldiers. Of the crowds who flock around to look at the noble animal, all unite ;n saying it could be bestowed on no one more worthy. Yesterday evening and this morning, we were exercised iu target shooting. The distance was 200 yards. The company making the best shot were to have tbe appointment oka sargeant to carry the regimental flag. It ha not been decided yet, as there is some contention and mis understanding as to whether it meant the most tiood shots, or the best shot. Our camp is still full of rumors about the "excursion train" from Indianapolis. We are all anxious to see our Indianapolis friends, and do hope vou will delay no longer than you can possibly help. Quite a number of boxes, packages, Ac., containing cakes, pies and other little "nienacks" have been received this week from kind friends in Indianapolis, which I assure you will ever be remembered by us. Yours in haste. High PaiVATX. . , Indignation Tlretin at Ettinburgh. The following communication gives a different version of the indignation meeting of Captain Kelly's company at Edinburgh from that we published. Iu vindication of our statement of the affair, we state that our information came from one of the most reliable citizens of Johnsou county, and we hare no reason to question his representation of what was done upon the occasion : Kdinti Kim , May, il. Editor of DnUy Stat Sentinel : Sia I see in your paper of this morning nn account of, as vou term it, an indication meet ing held in Edinburgh on the 21st inst , and a- k is entirely untrue, as regards the material facts therein stated, I wish, in justice to the town of Edinburgh, that you would correct the statement As far as I can learn, the statement should be as follows : There was a meeting of a part of the company held oo that evening, and the company whs informed by Mr. Kelly that the services of the company would not be needed by the Governor at present ; that the Captain had been led to liclieve, from the previous representations nf tbe Adjutant General and Governor, that we should !e needed, and that it was a great disappoint ment, nfter such representations, not to accept the company ; snd after the meeting broke up, some few of the company, none of which, ex cept one, were residents of Edinburgh, and tho-e few men being incited by their own bad feelings, and worse whisky, did get up a stuffed figure, but the officers of the conqiany and the citizens of the place, almost unanimously, turned out, and prevented the further proceedings. And of this I know, for I myself, with others, was up and in the streets until past 12 o'clock, and until all idea of burning the effigy was given up. Therefore, Mr. Editor, I hope you will please give this a place in your paper, and also please publish the name of your informant. With respect, kc, Samuel B. Jenkins. llnsland and the Kouthern Confederacy. The Philadelphia Press speaks confidently ns to the policy of the Administration iu regard to any interposition on the part of England in recognizing or aiding the Southern Confederacy. Its issue of Thursday contain an article discussing this question, aud it remarks: Hon. Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts, the succeseor of Mr. Dallas at the Court of St. James, ought to be iu London by this time. At any rate he will arrive in season to be able to state with distinctness the course of his Govern ment in regard to the action of European Powers upou our present difficulties. He ia of all sen. singularly qualified to discharge this duty with IMPcientious fidelity and unfaltering courage. We think that it wiil appear that he has been authorized to say to Lord John Kussel and Lord Palmerston, that any attempt, directly or indi rcctly, officially or utioffic ally, to treat with or to recognize the commissioners of the traitors now in arms against this Government, will he immediately followed by a demand for his passport aud by a declaration ia the name of the United States, that all tbe exequaturs granted to the British consuls and commercial agecis in this country will be immediately forfeited and with drawn.

A shabby looking character was arrested t! is morning at Hammack's, tor loudly declaring that he preferred Southern "planked shad'' to Northern baked clams. The indignation of our gallant New Englanders was with difficulty restrained? The language of the secessionist ruffian was understood to be an insidious reference to the planking of the Long Bridge and the hel ling of Baltimore.

Commodore Sla-nm Bang, at ll l2 this evening, swam down to Alexandria (80 miles distant) and capture! a 142 pounder which the secessionists had planted in an orchard, among the swamps that surround tie bight on which that place is built. The secessionists, on the Commodore's approach, retired tooed, and the 142 oounder making no resistance, the distinguished officer, after firing one discharge in t iken of his victory, brought the piece back with him, and, still iu his naval uniiorm, mounted it in the vicinity of the Center Market House.

From tbe London Times, May 10. The American Civil War. All that we can do is to keep aloof from the dreidiiil encounter. We feel that counsel or mediation might as well be offered to the hurricane which sweeps over tue Luit ot Mexico. e may receive a little satislaction lrom the assurance ol Lord Palmerston that no direct injurv to our own r . ... .... , ..... nuances is liKeiy to result lrom tue war; but it i ii greater pleasure to i-e at.le to tu ink that not only positive law, but tlie moral feeling of the community, will prevent any British subject to engage in the conflict for the purpose of private gain. Tbe Hotue Secretary's declaration with respect to privateering will have the full assent of the country; and when this strife is over we shall have the comfort of knowing that not one drop of blood was shed by us. From the Ixmdoa Sewn of stay Ml There may be more misfortunes to be undergone by the free section at first, from their unreadiness, and th ; unscrupulous readiness of their enemy; but, whatever difference of opinion there might have been in London, ten days ago, about the respective chances of the belligerents, the news of the arming and marching of tlie North5 ern forces must have shown where the real strength lies. We can not join in exclamations i about the unexpected and astonishing character of the convulsion; for, as Lord Palmerston says, any one with common foresight must have expected it Nor can we join in any cry about the horribleness and incredible dreailfulness of tbe issue of this long controversy. We sympathize rather with the solemn joy of the free States, who feel, even at this hour of the crisis, that there is something more precious to a self ruling people than ' blood and treisure." We congratulate them on having at last thrown off their burden ot iniquity, nnd found themselves free to assert their old liberties, and recover 1 the esteem of the best rt of the world. They will show us now, at last, what popular self govern ment is. The crisis brings out its virtue in fostering love of country, and a capacity for self sacrifice and union of heart and hand on great occasions. These men have a country and a polity loch they can fight and die for. The time past, in which a miserable vice in their polity de moralised and disheartened them, will be a lesson for the future; and this season of emancipation once over, they may start afresh, anil show the world what popular government mai lie and do, when freed from the curse of complreity with the grossest tyranny which man can exercise over man. From tbe Liverpool Post of liar 10. The American news rooks very bad for the South. For the fir.-t time since hostilities began we hear of the negroes, ami their interposition begins In a way which threatens very rapidly to convince their southern masters that they have made a great mistake in provoking to an i-ue "the irrepressible conflict." In Mary lend, though the adhesion of the State to the secession policy is by no means distinct, a general run of the slaves is reported to h.tre commenced. With the terrible contingency which thee incidents portend hanging over them, and with the prospect of being completely blockaded by the North, the Southerners are in a position which all their osatajM and determination can not long render tenable, which a very little wisdom would lead them to evacuate, and from w' ich, in all probability, they will soon be driven Into a worse by the -tern realities of the war which the North is determined to wage against them. From the Mix-he-tf r Guardian of May 11. It is impossible iTot to perceive that the North will fight at an immense advantage on the ground which has been chosen, not only on account of its vaU superiority in men nnd wealth, which would have been in its favor anywhere, but by virtue of a circumstance which ought to have kept what are called the birder States loyal to the Union in spite of all temptations. Wc refer to the fact that, while slavery can not possibly be extended northward, there is abundant room for its abolition in the rear of a Northern army m ir. hing vie toriously toward tbe South It is a proposition al mot equally safe, that wherever the peculiar institution ha? been effectually done away with, even for a short time, it can never be restored. The well known fact that in the greater part of Maryland and Virginia slaves are not kept from any absolute necensitv for negro labor to cultivate tlie soil; nnd that the abolition of the system in those States, by peaceable means, hat long been deem ed probable, is all that need l-e rememlered to show the practical hopelessness of the undertaking nn a hieb the Southerners are about to expend the first offerings of their blood and treasure. They are fighting for an acquisition which it is not in the nature of things that they can retain; while the North will have an absolute certainty that whatever may te the political upshot of the war, one of its consequences will be to extend the frontiers of free soil dominion. RtvoLviso Caxsom. The Northern papers mention a new cannon that has been invented, ( istinvr of a revolving horizontal cylinder or wheel, containing in its circumference eight cham bar so arranged that they can be fired in succession through the ordinary barrel of a cannon. Its advantages are stated to be that the various operations of swai-bing, loading, ramming, and priming can all be done at the same time in the disengaged chambers, as they are brought to the rear of the gun by the revolution of the cylinder, thus enabling the gun to be fired at least thirty times a minute.

From the LaaUrfll Democrat. Neutrality-. It puzzles many to understand it, chiefly be cause they don't want to understand it. Irrepressibles on the Northern side can't abide the neutrality of this State. Sensible men on both side see the justice of Kentucky's position. A party formed exclusively a one section of the Union, based on hostility to an institution in th other, aiming to get the whole political power of the Federal Government, and control it exclu sively upon its own sectional ideas and notions, in spite of the other, and in contempt and defiance

ot the other, was an unpatriotic and pestilent or ganization. It was never intended that one part of this L mon should establish a domination over the other. It is impossible for a Union to exist in such a condition. Kentucky protested from first to last against auch an organisation. Wt foresaw what it bad a violent tendency to provoke. It would be just a well for the South to be governed by a despot at once as to be governed by the opposite section of the Union. She would submit to a government in which she had no voice, or in which she had as well have none This great wrong has been done iu the Northrather attempted to be done. A we said, Kentucky protested against it from the start, with almost certain forebod n-s of its consequences. No State looked on with more coolness at this mischievous and dangerous movement of the Republican party, and none saw more clearly its disastrous consequences. She saw, moreover, that it was easy to meet the emergency and counteract the natural tendency of it. The result showed that the people of this country were against this movement, by a majority of nearly a million. Congress and the Supreme Court were against it. It succeeded only in electing a President accident ally, and this was accomplished by the connivance aud contrivance of ambitious men South, who saw that they had lost power and patronage in the Union. After the election, we had the Republican par ty wholly in the wrong, and the power to inflict the penalty upon the wrong, rV e had the Presi dent a prisoner, without power to move on with his Administration. The Republican party hud been often in a more favorable position, when it had one House of Congress and not the responsibility of the Administration. This sectional movement would have been broken down disastrously. We had it completely in check. Their game was played out, and could hardly have been revived in a generation. For reasons well understood, an Administration can not expect its second Congress to support it. The causes for this were all aggravated in the case of Lincoln. He was condemned by the legislative department at the start, and had still worse fortune to expect with th next. So favorable an opportunity to break down and crush out sectional parties had not occurred since the origin of the Government. Instead of standing up to the duty of allegiance to their country, and their duty to the Government their fathers made, watched over with anxious solicitude, and bequeathed to their sons with manv prayers and tears, ps.rt of the South ingloriously deserted. They denounced the perversions of the instrument of Government, whrch it had put into their own hands the means of correcting. They were unfaithful to tbe Constitution itself, in refusing to use the means it gave them to correct a vice which threatened to pervert it. They played false, not to the Republi can partv, but to patriotic men everywhere. Ifi they will not use the means tiieir Constitution gives them to preserve it in its puritv.what ecuritv can thev give that any Constitution will be better treated? What is the use of a Constitution, if ! those who live under it will not avail themselves i ot tiie means it provides to prevent any perver- : sions of it? We say a part of the South deserted, j most unphilosophicaily, treacherously and meanly . deserted, under the lead of a State which was mostly Tory in 1776, and not much better since; whose political ideas are unlike those of any other State, and can hardly be called Republican a State long ambitious to break up tbe Union, and only waiting an opportunity, wh ch this sectional partv. most unpatrioticallv, save her. Thev had i Lincoln and his party in the wrong in uudertaking to establish a sectional domination; and, in stead of holding him to a strict account for it, which they had the power under the Constitution their fathers gave them to do, they placed themselves and tbe South in tbe wrong, and relieved Lincoln and his party. The world will forget the wrong of Lincoln snd his party, in looking at the guilt of choosing a bloody remedy when a peaceable one was at hand. This guilt will be augmented in the mind of every patriot in this country, when he sees the fail of the best Government on earth an oceanbound Republic and substituted in its place despotism now, and, perhaps, the sacrifice of liberty forever. Look at this spectacle and then blame the neutrality of Kentucky. We condemn and detest tbe conduct of the revolutionists; but, Republicans how much bet ter are you? Do you come into court with clean hands? Tbe secessionists have enabled you to shift the issue; you now fight to preserve the Government; but vou have not spent year abus ing the South to preserve the Government; you ! didn't resist the plain provisions of a constitutional I 1 . .1 j-i . . .i: . 1 . t law to preserve the Government; you didn't nul lifv law to preserve the Government; you didn't elect Lincoln to preserve the Government. You were not aiming at sectional domination to preserve the Government. Now, you Republicans, if you are successful in this war, what theo? Now you wsnt to preserve the Government. That Kentucky desires to see done. She would give her last dollar and her most precious blood to restore it in its integrity, and spend a million in bonfires to celebrate the event. But if thi war is scccessful on the part of the President, what is to come; are these sectional ideas, upon which your party is built, to be carried out? Is it to be a victory of your party and your platform? Is sectional domination to be established, and the Chicago platform to be the Constitution? Kentucky wants an answer to these questions; the Union men of the South want an answer. It's unreasonable and unjust to expect the Union men of Kentucky to give men or money in this tight, until wc get aitjftiaer. We hav vague promises that no constitutional-r.hts are to he disturted: but no definite euarantv o?-tl'e-c riuhts has been offered. We beliere the peop of the North will give these guaranties if they ever get a chance. We have indications of that; but the powers that be up to this have shown little more than sullen defiance. No compromise with traitors! is the cry. They need not utter that cry. Those they call traitor spurn a compromise. No ('"inp! -omir-c will ever be made by them. It's the Union men of the South, and they are legion, who ask these guaranties. They are as anxious to preserve tlie Government as the most anxious; what is it to be when preserved? If this war, if successful, is to end in sectional domination, it is not our Government. Let us have definite security against this, aud there will be no neutrals among the Union men of the South. We do not fear this sectional domination ; it's impossible. There is not power in this country to establish it. The fight to preserve the Government is popular. Millions would shed their blood for that. Kentucky would do it ; but in a fight for sectional domination, the Union men of the South must be conquered. We want an understanding of this now ; it mar save oceans of blood snd treasure. Let's see vi hat die Government i to be when it is preserved. Until then, not a manor a dollar can Kentucky furnish. Federal law will be execu ted, Federal rights respected. There is no need of forces to execute these law or protect these rights. We o n attend to that ourselves. But we want to kuoe what's to be established by this war on tbe part of the Government. A satisfac tory reply to this will do more to end this war than all the treasure and blood to be spent. Let the Administration consider thi ; it is worth more than all iu armies. For Soparntion. The Cincinnati Press, Republican, still advo cates the radier of a separation of the Northern and Southern States. It thus closes an article in its issue of yesterday: We arc not for the Union more than reason; and we have already expressed the opinion that the people of the North are not. We have here to fore given our reasons in full, for the belief which we entertain, that the elements demand a separation. We have seen in no recent occur rences a call to revise nn old motto of the Press: "Coercion and Civil Wjr;Compromisennd Chronic Anarchy. Equitable Separation and Established Peace " He who examines the mind, character, tendency of opinions, manners and forms of society of Itoth sections, will find in either the North as well as the South substantial grounds for the lelief that a separate political establishment will, in the end, be better for the one and the other. We mny patch up the Union, suppress the South and restore to the (iovemwent the power over all the Territory : but will this remove, permanently, the cause which have mnde the staunch, trust worthy and good citizens of the South, from conviction, Secessionist? The Was to Esn vhuü mm i-ton Was. The conclusion of the Governor of Wisconsin's message is as follows: Tbe people will never consent to any cessation of the war, forced o wickedly upon ua, until the traitors are hung or driven into an ignominious exile. 1'his war begun where Charleston is it should end where Cliarlestoii teas. The Supreme Ruler can but smile upou the efforts of the lawloving, Government loving, liberty loving peonl of this land, in resisting the disruption of this Union. These gathering armies are instruments of His veugeance. to execute His judgment they are His flails, wherewidi, on God's great South ern threshing floor, He will pound rebellion for its sins.

THE FIRST BRIGADE OF INDIANA VOLUNTEERS REVIEWED BY MAJOR GENERAL McCLELLAN. Th grandest military display ever witnawed in Indiana came off yesterday. It was announced in the morning paper that troops stationed her would be reviewed in tbe afternoon, on the open ground North west of Camp Sullivan, by Major General McClellan, and in that direction, notwithstanding the threatening appearance of tbe ky, and a slight sprinkle of rain, about two o'clock, a large portion of our population pro ex'el Pe h t ranches of the Legislature ad journed and joined the crowd. They were early on the ground, and secured a good position on a rail fence, where, by ths courtesy usually extended to the press, we too. secured a seat. The two State regi menu encamped at Camp Sullivan ware invited to join in the parade, but as they have not yet received their uniforms, they preferred not to doo, and volunteered to furnish guards to keep th ground clear for the review a delicate duty on an occasion where ucb eager interest was mani f es ted by such a mass of people, and one which they executed satisfactorily. The common ia about one half a mile long by from on quarter to one third of a mile in width lrom east to west. A sufficient space was given on the east for specta tors, and sentries were placed round the Hues to resist any pressure from the spectator. About threeo'clock the sky cleared, scarce rain enough having fallen to settle the dust, and about that time the regiments from Camp Morton be gan to airive. They came on to the ground in fine style, after their long march, and as th columns swept on to their places iu the line, the ight was magnificent. A general buzz of appro bation rose from the spectators as their eye drauk iu the full extent of the display. Th troop marched splendidly better than they afterward did when passing in review. The line was formed with the Seventh, under Col. Dumont, on the right ; the Eiehth, Colonel Benton, next; th Ninth, Col. Milroy, and th Sixth, Col. Crittenden, on the left. The Toath, under Col. Manson, formed in rear of the first line. Genend McClellan. attended by Brigadier General Reynolds, both on horseback, and Gov mors Morton, Dennison and Yates, and Senator Trumbull in a barouch, arrived on the ground and took post in front of the field colors, opposite the center of the line. Brigadier General Morris aud his staff were between them and the line. The few movement of a review are very simple, but they were well executed, and the alignment, tretching as it did for nearly half a mile, waa very exact. After riding down the line and returning by the rear, the reviewing party took post again and the brigade mtrchel in review in column of companies. We can only say that for the practice they have had they did admirably, and this we are grateful to !e vni was the opinion expressed by General McClellan. At the sam time he expressed his admiration of the appeirauce of the men. His keen military eye fell apon the material for the soldier, and he found it in abundance in the brigade of Indian-i troops. The line waa again forme 1 after the march in re view the usual military salute was given and the parade dismissed. The regiments wheeling into column after the review was dismissed aud each taking its separat line of march was perhaps the finest sight of th day. The sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth rogiments took Washington street, on the way back to their quarters, and there again the marching of such a nuu of troop called thousand to the aide walk and windows and housetop to admire them. Gen. McClellan left immediately after tbe review, for Cincinnati, and Governors Dennison, Yates and Senator Trumbull took th erening train for Columbus, Ohio. General Oraler Bio. 9.
