THE DEVOTED BAND.

NBWE.I
The shortest path peace that which carries havoc
and desoation to invaders 1t is believed that there
five ten thousand in the South ready and will
ing to share the fate of Curtus and devote themselves
TO the salvation of their country 1t is proposed that all
who willing to make this sacrifice shall arm them
selves with sword, two five shooters and carbne each
and meet, on horseback at some place TO be designated
convenient for the great work in hand. Fire sword
must be carried to the houses Of those who visiting
these blessings upon their neighbors Philadelphia and
New York is not beyond the reach of long and
brave The moral people Of these cities cannot be
better taught the virtues Of invasion than by the blazing
light Of their dwellings
None need apply for admission to The Devoted Band
but those who prepared to take their life in their
hand and who would indulge not the least expectation Of
returning They dedicate their lives to the destruc
ton Of their enemies.

REBEL MOVEMEN 8 IN TENNESSEE.
PROBABLE ATTACK ON CAIRO.

From tne LOUISVILLE JOurOal, August 81
The indications seem to be that the Texas Arkansas and
Missouri troops under McCulloch and the Tennessee
troops under General Polk General Pillow will within
two or three days If not sooner combine and attack
Birds Point and Cairo. To us, with such limited know
ledge possess the probabilities appear be that
both Of those places will be carried In the first place,
believe that the United States troops will be attacked
by vastly superior force and, in the second place
presume that the Confederates will have greatly the ad-
vantage in artillery.
The truth is the Confederates can have just what
tiliery they please. They have for months thanks TO
their activity and auac,y in the work and
scaton had more steamboats, in and Memphis than
they knew what to do with. Moreover, they have at
Memphis Fort Randolph, Fort Harris, &c least thirty
or forty coumbiads and other guns Of tremendous cabre
taken by railroad from Fort Sumter and the other fort-
lications in Charleston harbor Well by means Of their
steamboats, they can take just many Of their big
as they please TO any point near the mouth of the Ohio
and if they find three three and half miles from
Birds Point and Cairo position at all avrablc that is
position in sight Of those places they for aught we
See lombard them at pleasure without the slightest
danger from n ball or shell in return.
II may be that General Fremont and General Prentss
have effectively guarded against such danger but
have information OF their having done Beyond all
doubts the Confederate troops confidently anc ating
q victory.

b. Voolfolk Of this county, who has Just returned from
Richmond, and has been commissioned by the Ordnance
Department to make arrangements in this State FOR the
extensive manufacture of arms Mr.. Voolfolk has con-
ceived plan for this enterprise eminenty practicable
and efficient, based upon the principle of division Of
labor which will engage in the business the largest
amount of mechanical enterprise. II is proposed that
machinsts in all parts Of the State shall take part
in the work, each manufacturing a particular part
Of the gun, the whole to be ''asscnbled'' in
n general central shop. This plan possesses two.fod
advantages, both TO the manufacturers and the
government The advantages to the manufacturer are,
that he can make particular part Of the gun vii
paratiyely small outlay for machinery, and little delay
being necessary he gets speedily work. receives quick
returns and by the use of machinery exclusively the
expenses are diminished and profits proportonatey en-
HANGED To the government the advantages that the
work can be speedily made TO yield perhaps six weeks
10 two months will be ample tmc and operation
the manufacture be Increased meet the largest de
mands OF the government Mr.. Voolfolk will early
day lay his enterprise before the public and invite bids
from machnsts founders and others prepared engage
in the work throughout the State.
