E@g@ The following preamble and resolutions were introduced in Congress Aug. 70, by Mr. Ochiltree, of Texas, and passed without dis Senting voice:
 WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God to vouchsate to the arms of the Confederate States another glorious and important victory in q portion of the country where 8 reverse would have been disastrous by exposing the families of the good people of the State of Missouri to the unbridled license of the brutal soldiery of an interruptions enemy; therefore be it
 Rcsolred dy tie Congress of H5e Confeaerdte States, That the thanks of Congress are cordi- ally rendered to Brigadier-G General BEN McCUL- LocH, and the officers and soldiers of his brave command for their gallant conduct in defeating, after battle of six and half hours, force of the enemy, equal in numbers and greatly supe- rior in all their appointments, thus proving that right cause nerves the hearts and strengthens the arms of the Southern people fighting, as they are, for their liberty, their homes and friends, against an unholy despotism.
 Rcyo!ced, That in the opinion of Congress, Gen. McCulloch and his gallant troops, are en- titled to, and will receive the grateful thanks ot our people.
 Resoired, That the foregoing resolutions be communicated to that command by the proper department.

nSg~ The mendacious New York papers arc whiting down their loss at manassas to mere trhe The Harlequia Herald, in it's issue o the 26th, stoutly denies that more than 3Ot Hessians were killed, giving this ndice excuse for it's previons and more truthful estimates:
 The exaggerated first reports as to the UnioI loss in killed and wounded arose from the bound less mendacity of most of the Union soldiers,anc many of their officers, in regard to their own ex. ploits and those of their regiments. Nearly all asserted, in palliation of the general scattering and running the several commands to which they belonged, that their regiments had been cutto pieces: that two out ofevery three had beer killed, etc.

4 Noble Example.

An old man sevcnty-thrce years old, living near this place. by the name of Bush, took his young son and went with him to join McCul- lough. h the battle of Springfield, he took his position, and with an uneXampled coolness and courage, did as much execution with his rifle as any one in the battle. When his gun was struck by bali and became useless he went to a wounded Tennnesseean, who gave him his and his ammunition. The old man returned to his place and said, boys, now see what I'll do with the minnie rifle" Taking aim at the officers, at every fire one came to the ground. One colonel and two captains fell in quick succession. An order was give to fall back to better position. The old man did not hear 1t, and besought them not to retreat. He asked where his boy was. Some one told him he had retreated. Over come by grief, he sat down, laid his gun across his lap and burst into tears. He was soon re- lieved, however, when he found his son in his proper place fighting bravey. All reverence and honor to the brave old man. Shame upon the young healthy, vigorous men who yet lounge at home, while such examples are set for them to follow. When dssuaded by a friend, at whose house he staid all night on his way saying that he was too old-he said that he was not too old to yet do his country some good, and he intended to try Has not that patriotic old man done some good? His noble example Is reproach upon the suggards who yet remain at home, and should inspire every patriotic heart.-Pinc BiHF Ne,cs.

TIE MoB AT CANTON, OHIo.-Some days since, says the Louisville Courier, we referred to the mobbing and destruction of the Stark County Democrat office, in Canton, Ohio. Some of the persons engaged in the riot have been ar rested. While undergoing preliminary exami- nation, (the evidence being against the prison ers,) one of them broke from the guard and at tempted to escape. Refusing to stop, he was shot by the guard and killed on the spot. The other rioters were each bound in the sum of five hundred dollars for their appearance in court. In reference to the mob, we learn from the Wayne County, Ohio Democrat, that the city council of Canton have appropriated three thou sand dollars to Mir. McGregor for the loss sus- tained in the destruction of his office.

TIE TRUTH CoMING.-Arcording to abolition figuring the total loss, in only thirty regiments, of the "grand Yankee arm at Manassas was no less than 3,Sj7. This is only a list of the casualties aS far oS names icere giren, and no honest man will deny the horrible truth. In addition to this fearful list, the same papers have had reported addiional losses, in killed, wounded and missing of 429 in the New York twelfth, ll9 in the Fire Zouaves, ljO in the New York second, r in the Connecticut first, 45 in Grihith's battery, 50 in the Massachusetts eleventh, so in the Rhode Island second and 32 in the Vermont second. That is a total of 92 , which added to the 3,S57 whose names are given, makes a total casultes in less than half the army amount to i,718.

DARKIEs SHOOTING ABoLITIoNIsTs.-The war has dispel!ed one delusion of the abolition ists. The negroes regard them as enemies in- stead of friends. No instruction has occurred in the South-no important stampede of slaves has evinced their desire for freedom. On the contrary, they have jeered at and insuted our troops have readily enlisted in the rebel army yand on Sunday,at Manassas, shot down our men with as much alacrity as ifabotion had never existed These are creatures for whose sake LOvejoy, Chandler and Pomeroy are agitating the nation, and to whom they would unconstitutionally extend the privileges offreemen and equality N0Lthel1 ErchQnQe.

BRING IN NO MORE REpoRTs.-Th New York Express, in an article on the official reports of the battle at Manassas, remarks:
 "The more we hear of the conduct of some of our officers and men at Bull Run, the more We are inclined to let the curtain drop on the whole affair, and cry out with the Thane oi Cawdor Bring in no more reports.' With disclosures of this discreditable charac- ter crowding upon us, we think the reader will sympathize with the wish we have alr- Ady ex pressed, that Bull Run should drop as soon as possible into oblivion. The country has heard enough of it. Bring in no more reports.

Took HIN.-We learn that just before the last movement was made at New Madrid, d scouting party of Capt. Whites mounted rifles approached the neighborhood ofthe pickets from Birds Point, where they had brush with a Lincoln scouting party they met. They killed and took prisoners the entire party, except one man who fled and was pursued by two of the rifles, D. C. Klink and J. York, of this city. These two men followed him to the enemy's pickets, where Klink seized him by the collar. At the same moment his own horse received a shot and fell, and he and his prisoner with him. Though hurt by the tall, with the aid of York and horse taken from the enemy, he brought his captive into camp.-Memphis Appeat.

HOSTILE ATTITUDE OF PRUssIA.-The black republicans tell the truth occasionally in refer ence to their foreign relations, and it will be seen by the Washington correspondence of the Philadel phia Inquirer that even despotic Prus- sia is getting as unfriendly as England and France:
 learn that the secretary of state is busily en- gagged in writing dispatches to Mr. N. B. Judd, or minister to Berlin; that they will contain special instructions in regard to the unmistaka- be hostile attitude of Prussia, as manifested in the dispatch of the Prussian government to Baron Gerolt, and that they will be sent out in the next steamer. The administration regards that dispatches as fully committing Prussia to the same unfriendly course of policy towards Us as has been chosen by England, Spain and France, although her course, whatever it may be, cannot affect our interests in the slightest degree.
Arkansas true Democrat., 1861-09-19

THE PATRICK HESRY.-A telegraphic mes sage from Fortress Monroe states that 1t is re- ported that the confederate steamer Patrick Henry had run the blockade of the fort, and of course the ships also We discredit the rumor. When the Patrick Henry gets out to sea, the fact ofher escape will be too well known among the Federalists of the fort to admit ofany doubt ful and uncertain phrase in announcing it. Whether no she ever gets out, remains to be seen. We have our own notion about that; but when she gets out, if she ever does, the fact will be positively known very soon afterwards, and it will make northern merchants tremble for their hazards at sea-Richmond Dispatch.
Arkansas true Democrat., 1861-09-19

BUILDING UP THE NAvY-We learn that the proposition, which has already obtained the at tcntion of Congress, to make a general offer to purchase such foreign steamers as may run the blockade into our ports, is likely to be favorably entertained. This plan to build up navy is adapted to present necessities. The difficulties in the way of building war vessels in the South are the present limited facilities for forging, shafting, etc. The establishment of large ma chine shops to do the heavest engine work, as at the Washington navy yard, would displace the only difficulties in our way of building for ourselves naval steamers to compete with those of the Yankees.

EDIToR TRUE DEMOCRAT
 Siy: notice call in your paper of the 9th inst. on Jotn r. Wheeler, eSq., of Fort Smith, to become candidate for Congress i'll the Sd district from thi State at the election to be held i'll November next In the absence of district convention to make the nomination of suitable person for Congress 1t is left free to every in the district to present the name of his fayorte for representative, without tue charge of dsorganizaton being made in any quarter, or that the promotion of the individual recommended was intended to subserye this or that click faction.
 In our present relations as people, we have en- tered upon a new field of duty. and enlisted in q cause requiring and demanding harmony and con cert of action in us, that government may be upheld and strengthened, and its principles gene rally ditfuSed amongst the peOple-a government that will protect all coming within its consttu- tional jurisdiction without favor or partality-a government whose destiny promises in the future to be glorious as well as great. And as a lit per son to represent this district in that government, l respectfully suggest the name of SAMUEL M. SCoTr, esq.,, of Clark county. Mir. SCorT is widely known in Arkansas, having been editor of the !" Ar kansaw Traveller for some six or seven years and for the last three sessions oi the GeAeral Assem- bly, of the State, principal clerk of the House of Representatives. The ability with which Mr. Scott discharged the duties of that highly respon- sible position gave complete satisfaction to the
 
 people of the district. In that position he acquir ed much parliamentary knowledge that would be useful and important to a representative. As a public speaker, Mr. Scott has but few superiors in the district-whie his energy and zeal for the sue cess of the cause he engages in, is so interested and determined, that he cannot fail before the peo pie, whose rights he has ever guarded with the incest sense of ustice and is always ready to give the weight of his judgment and influence against any measure that curtails or infringes upon those rights
 MT. Scott would make an able and indefatigable representative; and hope the mantle may fall upon him, as but few men i'll the district would acqut themselves with more credit, or render more or better service to their constituents. Let the other counties of the district be heard from on the sub ject, and have but little doubt that Mir. Scott will meet the appreciation of the people generally. Clark, the home of Mir. Scott is the oldest county in the district, with the exception oi Hampstead, which has had already two representatives in the old Congress, while Clark has not heretofore asked for one. BOREAS.

gGgr The Mobile Advertiser and Register, of the 30th ult., announces that the banks of the city decided to receive the Confederate States treasury notes and bonds at par in payment of their discounted paper; and they will continue to pay specie in payment of their notes and de- posits, as usual. This, remarks our cotempo- rary, is the substantial statement of the conven- ton of our banks in regard to the treasury issues of the government and their eminently solvent condition, for, under this agreement, they receive the issues of the Confederate States in payment of debts due them, and pay their own debts in specie.

TIE NEW YORK HERALD ADVOCATES RECoG- NIrIoN.-lt Is so very easy for the New York Herald to shift its position, that we are never astonished when it denies 'n toto on one day the assertions 1t has made the day before The Herald is still furious war journal, yet lashes Lincolns cabinet and it's interesting abolition contemporaries most unmercltully. The letter of Dr. Norval, one of the released federal pris- oners. seems to have melted Bennett's heart, and we fnd the Herald not only overfowing with sympathy for the Hessians who were left by their cowardly companions to rot in southern iails," but it comes out and squarely advocates a recognition of the Southern Contederacy

GEN. MAGRUDER.- gallant officer is about 54 years of age. He is native of Vir- gina, though his father was from Maryland.- He graduated at West Point in 1880. He was in nine battles in Mexico, including Palo Alto Resaca de Ia Palma. Contreras, Cherubusco, Mono del Key, and Chepultepec. He was never present at defeat, has been twice woun- ded slightly once by musket ball in the head, and once knocked senseless from his horse by a grape shot, Once his horse was shot dead while he held the bridle before mounting.

TERRIBLE.-On Sunday night, the l1th, Mrs. Vandyke, living on Black lake, in Holland township, Mich, being alone with her two small children, became So terribly frightened by the thunder storm then raging, that she afraid to stay in the house, lest it should be struck by lightning; and she took her children and went out Of and away from the house short distance, and there stationed herself, in the then slight rain, for safety from the lightning. She had been there but a few minutes when the light ming struck and knocked her sen8eless, and killed her two children.

BARLOW KNIVES AND CANNoN.-Seigle and Lyon had discussion the night before the bat tie, Lyon insisting that the confederate forces would not fight fifteen minutes after the cannon commenced to open on them. Seigle said in broken English, "General can go into their camp, and get 1000 men who will charge all your batteries with barlow knives"
