This weuadyertised body Of green coated
rifemen have began on the Potomac to ex-
hlbit their eIfN On the rebels. Last week TIE
enemy made demonstrations of an advance on
Fcrt Coreorau, 80 an order was dispatched to
Col Berdan to send company Of his sharp
shooters there. They had not been long at
the fort before thirteen Of the enemy appear
ed In sight at distance, but they. did not tarry
long, for some Of the men " drew bead" upon
them and at the fret fire killed four, one Off
Ger and three priyates. The first modest at
tempt to recruit $50 eharpshooters has grown
SO as now to embrace project for whole
brigade, and in fact there have been reported
to Col Berdan at Washington no less than
thirty six companies, formed or forming in
different States. As yet he has only eight
hundred men, or eight companies, at Camp
Burnside, but more are already on their way
and others just ready to srsrt. The second
company from Michigan, 100 strong, under
tie lead OF Capt Stuart, left Lansing on the
29th ult, aud the third company, from Detroit,
will leave within few days What noble
contribution from one State, this! Three
hundred splendid rifle shots, strong, sober,
ssalwart men, each Injured to rough life, and
capable Of picking off rebel officer at 500
yards with deadly skill Il will be a burning
shame On our military authorities If material
such as this Is spoiled by shortsighted mis-
management The men have enlisted with
The distinct understanding that they are to bs
drilled as skizmiahe1s, and to fight after thel1
cwn way On the wings Of the army. Any at
tempt TO hamper them with the forna!itles 0:

We ventured to say, yesterday morning,
that the regiments drawn from the West
for the protection Of Philadelphia and New
York, by Notifications on the Potomac, had
made all right IN that quarter Wash.
ing was now safe. We find in an exchange
copy Of the official order in which the
names Of the different earth-works around
the Capital are to be designated. Wereler
our readers to it in another column, asking
their concurrence in the opinion that with
more than score Of forts along the Poto-
mac, some Of them works OF great strength
and considerable extent, the Administra-
tion would meet public expectation here
away, if our Western troops were sent
home to make headeay against the enemy
that threatens our frontier. The withdraw
al of so largea force might necessitate
drafting in somnolent Pennsylvania and
tardy New York, but the sooner that is re-
serted to, the sooner they would come up
with the men that patriotism demands Of
,hep.. Washington is safe; then why not
let our troops come West!

To the Editor Of the N. z. World:
SIR: My attention has been called to an azti-
Gle in your valuable and patriotic PAPER. in
Which you say The extreme Northern States
from Naine to Michig1n, have not done their
dnty, and it is high time that State pride arouse
1hem to emulate the noble example Of New
York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island" As
am sure you would not willingly do Injustice
to Michigan, ask you to State editorially, the
population and number Of regiments in the
field for the War from each OF the States whose
example is to be emulated. Michigan had at
Bull Kun one three months regiment
{row recruited and In for the war; and three
regiments for The war, and moi q prirate soldier
III camp in the State, Since that time she has
seEt seven regiments for the war. making ten
regiments now present with the army, IN ad-
dillon to which she has furnished to other
States over tWo Thousand men, now in the
field, for the reason that Government would
accept no more regiments from Michigan at
that time, and the patriotic ardor could not be
restrained. We have now in camp nearly 1000
men, and shall Rerd two regiments this week
apd TWO more Eithin vary few days. The
Northwest has done her whole duty; how is
it with the East? Tine Northwest has exceed
ed every call made upon her, and yet you lack
men, and are deludiDg over tHo Thousand
miles Of border territory Of troops for tie de
vania, New jersey, pnd the New England
States cannot defend Washington, in Gods
meme whas ca2 they DO? The Northwest viii
defend the 'iues from tue mountains of Vlr-
!. g1nia to the Rocky Mountains. She will Teep
secession and treason from the Valley Of
the Miseiseippi-aye, aud will defend the
Potomac, too, if she must but is not this
q: ion worth as muc' to New York, Pcnnsyl
vania, aud Massachusetts, as to the Northwest
Why then 50 tardy in supplying troops. Had
-h7e Of the forty northwestern regiments nov
on the Potomac been with Lyon, he would
haye won the battle and cleared Missouri,
Had five been with Mul!igan he would nos he
in possession Of Lexington. Could three ci
item be sent into Kentucky Tomorrow I'm ad-
ditien to what they haye,) they wonld clear
the State of secession in ten days and threaten
Tennessee. Could ten be sent to Rosecraus
be would clear the mountains Of Virginia and
threaten the rear Of their grand army But
nc, this cannot be done because the East will
Eot do her duty If she does not at o1re, tts
whole world will CRY shame.

iRosToN, no., Oct. 9TH, 1861.
Editors Of the Chicago Tribune:
In my last, I gave an account Of the arrest
ct an old dsecessionist by our boys, on the Iron
Mountain Railroad, ard his arraigmment for
treason. He hss since been acquitted OF trea
son, en- the ground that he vas &c trapped into
the act" by our soldierA The finding, In
effect, declares that he is only at heart traitor,
and not in laW-a very important distinction
to majority Of the people hereabouts. We
find few-Fery few-tTue Union men. They
are Ill natives Of the free states, It is uotmy
business to COMMENT and torbeaz,
4 serious railroad disaster occurred Oh the
Iron Mountain Road night before LAST. by
which two soldiers Of this post, belonging to
the ssth regiment, were badly, and one Of
them fatally, injured. The disaster occurred
at Jefferson Barracks, By drunken Condnc-
tor keeping his train On the track, long after
It should have left, without signal behind; !;
and having II run into BY smother in bis rear.
I got the facts from q passenger who WAS In
the demolished car, and who himself escaped
by jumping, One man WAS crushed among
the FRAGMENTS, and another hsd his leg bad
II msne1ed. The locomotive of the hindmost
train WAS literally demolished. "Eobody to
bIame," Of course.
Ihave not 10 far troubled yon With uotea
upon the county; but have confined myself
TO facts and 1ncideza. But Judging from tho
pleasure with which our men from the prsizies
look upon this delightful hill country, fen
