My return to Cairo was upon the packet Charley

Kentuckians under Capt. Jack Young, from Critten.

for the Union causs without farther delay fully sats-
fed that neutrality played out They are all farm
ers except the captain and enough more will follow to
make full company. They are to form part OF the
35th Illinois Regiment. They bring sentiments of the
right kind with them for they ready to see Slavery
and everything else disappear rather than the Govern
ment should be overthIown. Indeed, most OF them
look upon the institution as great evil, and wish
their State happily rid of its bGghtng effects. Ken
lucky, tised, has forgotten the teachings OF
the immortal Sage Of Ashland, and will in few weeks
send fly thousand men to the support Of the Union
army of the West. The Crittenden County Guards
were received with great enthusiasm at all points on
the river.
Fort Holt, on the Kentucky shore, opposite Cairo,
now mounts five guns, which bear much further down
stream than those of Fort Defiance. Last Friday they
were fred for the first time.

afternoon il is understood for service in Virginia 1t

Qun-boats Conestoga and Lexington, and the Rebel
and-bstteries, assisted by the Yankee. A NewrMad.

guns captured, and the Yankee disabled. This was
better even than Lieut. Phelps commander ofthe Gomez

brilliant victories for the " MissssipPi aotlla."
At Mound City, six miles above here, several more
gunboats are being built, but will not be ready for
work before November. Pleasantly located this place

Cairo but there seems TO DO doubt about its full
filling its destiny. Col Wilson has reached Mound

Nothing occurred to disturb the Esprit Of our

The statement by Washington correspondent to
the effect that $4,000 troops are to be concentrated at
this point Immediately, is probably made without sufi
Gent authority. The that have thus far oper
aed against the concentration Of large force here,
according to well matured plan, that have obstrlcted
the designs of Fremont in the West, restricted oper-
atone in Western Virginia, and turned our troops
toward Washington, will for the present
continue to operate against the fulallment OF
any such purpose as that referred to by the sanguine
writer. The rebels having urged forward 100000 men

BALTIMORE, Sept 20, 1861.
Since nv last Government has rooted ont and broken
up our Legislative nest of traitors too long suffered
cucumber the ground and faint the air, and consigned
them together with the Mayor Of Baltimore and other
troublesome spirits 10 the Of Fortress Mon
roe where tho loyal people of Maryland hope they
will be permitted TO remain until the rebellion is
crushed out and the Federal authority reGstsblished
over the whole country. As the arrest of Kane and
his brother conspirators by General Banks, was the
first moral victory Of the campaign in Maryland tho
arrest Of the Legislators who voted for Teakle Wass
rebeous resolutions at their last session. and of the
contumacious Mayor Brown, and Of the editors and
owners Of the principal Rebel sheets in Baltimore
was the second one; and the Government may now
direct lis whole energies 10 the rout Of the Rebel army
beyond the Potomac, without any danger Of fire in
the rear.
You can form no idea Of the intense satisfaction
which this recent display Of the power Of the Govern
ment in crushing the cockatriCes egg Of rebellion in
Maryland, has given TO the loyal mind Of the State
Thousands Of weak and nid souls, always tho look
out for the stronger SIDE have found 1t at last in the
Federal Government and you may now walk the
streets Of Baltimore as fee from Rebel insult and
noyance "a you can the streets Of NewYork. Loyalty
Is 10 the asceudent and is augmentng in volume and
intensity. With every firm and vigorous exercise Of
power for the preservation Of the country and the
demolition Of the enemy the loyal pulse heats higher,
and the hour cannot DO very far distant when the pub
lie voice Of Maryland will be us potent to keep the
State TO the performance Of ito Federal duties as that
Of the Empire State. All that Is needed to
desirable a result Is obvious earnes;ness and go-ahead
vigor on the part Of the Government.
The Erohonge newspaper has been revived under
the title Of The Maryland Times, but It's hostility to
the Union cause Is much abated The trenchant and tai
ented pens that used to make The Exchange second
Charleston Mercury, gone, and che parties in
