The increase of Through travel being due the trans
portation of troops, while the decrease in Way travel
has doubtless been occasoned by the general Interrupt
ton of business, aud large number OF enstments n the

four months of the fiscal year will clearly exempy this
conclusion.

SPLITTING ON CHURCH FLooRs-A lack Of reverence

SPLITTING ON CHURCH FLooRs-A lack of reverence
for Gods house is clearly developed in the practice OF
the man who deliberately open his mouth and pour
out upon the floor quantity of tobacco juice;
There no habit revolving to refined feeling and
and country actually are made disgusting to every feel
ing of refinement By tobacco chewers And the larger
class OF those who indulge in the filthy practice never
think TOR moment that there is any wrong in it. The
habit has been long INDUCED in, and their education
in this particular has been so detective that they never
dream of the irreverence manifested in it to the Lords
house. Dor how disgusting and sickening it looks to
more refined persons Verify, this is an evil which
needs correction in all the churches. Reader are you

Satan Rebukinr sim.


The Messenger of last week takes Horace
Greeley to task for saying that the present Cab
met is incapable of administering the Govern
ment. For saying this, he calls Mr.. Greeley "a
bIaok-hearted v0Iain p The Messenger has been
saying for weeks that this Administration is in
caple of carrying on the government and that
the people have no confidence init. If the above
approbrious epithet applied to Mr. Greeley is de-
served, what language strong enough can por-
tray the utter baseness and hypocrisy of the
editor of the Messenger
Horace Greeley has honorably retracted what
was said in the Tribune in regard to the Cabi-
net, and says he hopes that Mr.. Lincoln will re-
tain them all in their present places, as the
country has implicit reliance in their integrity
and ability. Now let the Messenger show as
much honesty, if it does not wish to have APP
piled to it the same terms it has applied to Mr..
Greeley.

Ohioans at, Manassas.

The telegraph has corrected its first re-
port that the Ohio Regiments at Manassas
were tho worst and earlist panic stricken Of
all the forces, and the acknowledgement has
been made that they acted with the great
est coolnees and intrepidity throughout
We havo gathered from the story of one
who was in the battle, the account Of their
daring under fire. and their nerve and dis
cipline during tho panic. They were ex-
posed throughout the day to the batteries
Of the enemy, and stood their ground with
admirable intrepidity; and when at last the
fight began, they held their place, while
regiment after regiment filed past them in
the widest disorder. When they were all
by the bravo Ohioans, closed up the rear
and covered the retreat in as perfect order
as if they had been on parade. Through
out the night while the stampede continued
and the whole army, with the exception Of
a few regiments, was struggling, pushing
terrified mass Of horse and foot, wagons
and artillery, military and civilians, our
Ohio boys maintained their discipline and
never once broke ranks.
This is our glory for that day.

Arrival of Gen. fremont.

Major General Fremont arrived in this
city yesterday morning, accompanied by
his staff and some German and Italian Of
ficers. A meeting of the army officers be-
longing to this Department was had at l2
o'clock, yesterday, to confer with the Gen
eral, on important business in connection
with our gallant Union army of Missouri.
The army now has an able head in this
city, and we expect to see business conduc-
ted with much moro dispatch and less use
less formality. Wehopc Gen. Lyons wants
will be no longer neglected, but that he will
have much improved commissariat, and
prompt reinforcements of men to enable
him to cope with the $4,000 rebels that
are now concentrating upon the South.
western border. We feel confident that
military matters in this section will now
move, aud made up for the unnecessary de-
lays that "red tape" and brass buttons for
some weeks back occssioned. Gen. Fre-
mont's history is guarantee that nothing
will be put off till tomorrow that can be
done to-day. We are getting live enemy

why Don,t Won Advort,so1

The Cincinnati Press asks this question,
and then very sensible remarks:---"To bus
mess men, who are complaining Of the
dullness Of the times we address these few
remarks. Why don't you ADVERTISED 1t is
just the thing to help you out of your diff
culties--to bring you cash customers and
plenty of patronage, In times like these
it is the cash purchasers that read the adj
vcrtisements, to post themselves where to
get the best bargains. There is no mis-
take about it, it is no humbug If you
can offer the public any advantages to make
their purchases of you, lose no time in in
forming them of the fact. Do not lament
over dull times. Stephen Girard always
embraced the opportunity to extend his adj
vertisoments during dull times and revul-
sion in business. He said "wherc so many
tightened their purse strings and ceased
advertising, ho took great pains to extend
his in a very judicious manner, and inform
the public that hO was still prepared tc
offer them good inducements" In some
cases, after man has ordered his adver
tscments to be discontinued, we have
heard the question asked whether such per
son has not retired from business? There
is nothing unreasonable about such n quos
ton, in times like the present. 1t contains
more truth than poetry. Cash buyers con
suit advertisements moro than you MAJ
think"

WHY THEY RUN.-The Georgia Con-
stitutionalist gives the following reason for
the flight of the Aeet-footed Virginians, and
others connected with the rebel army in
Western Virginia:
Did the intelligent men of the North
really expect that the Southern gentlemen,
who compose so large portion Of the South
ern armies, would be such soft-headed hot
spurs as to sink the consciousness of the
vast difference between themselves and the
hirelng ragamuflins and vagrants and es-
capped jail-birds, that form the staple of the
invading hosts-that were willing to recog-
nizc these vagabonds with knightly courte-
sy, and invite them to tilts and tournaments (?
Do they come in the true spirit of knight
errantry to test their prowess with Southern
chivalry, with measured weapons, and in an
open arena, man to man, and eye to eye9

GEN. Mcclellan to his Troops.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF OCCUPATION, [
Western Virginia, Beverly July 19, 1861.
Soldiers of the Army Of the West-I am more
than satified with you. You have annihilated
two armies, commanded by experienced soldiers
entrenched in mountain Businesses and fortified
at their leisure. You have taken five guns
twelve colors, fifteen hundred stand of arms,
one thousand prisoners including more than
forty officers. One of the second commanders
of the Rebels is prisoner the other lost his
life on the field of battle. You have killed more
has lost all his baggage and camp equippage.-
All this has been accomplished with the loss of
twenty brave men killed and sixty wounded on
your part. You have proved that the Union
men, fighting for the preservation of our Gov
ernment, are more than a match for our misgui-
ded and erring brothers. More than this, you
have made long and arduous marches, with in
sufficient food, frequently exposed to the in
clemency of the weather.
have not hesitated TO demand this of you
feeling that could rely on your endurance, pa
triotism and courage. In the future may have
still greater demands to make upon you-still
greater sacrifices for you to offer, 1t shall be
my care to provide for you to the extent of my
ability; but know that by your valor and en-.
durance, you will accomplish all that is asked
Soldiers, / have confidence in you, and trust
you have learned to confde in me. Remember
that discipline and subordinaton are qualities
of equal value with courage. ] am proud tc
say that you have gained the highest reward
that American troops can receive--the thanks O.
Congress and the applause of your fellow-cit
izens. GEO. B. MCCLELLAN,

Kentucky Arms Seized.

Stealing arms is common failing of the
secessionists. They inaugurated rebellion
by theiving on large scale, and have kept
up the practice with every opportunity since.
The largest case is in neutral Kontucky.-
A large body of rebels from Union City,
Tenn, visited Mayfeld, KY, under cover of
night last week, and stole all the guns there
belonging to the State of Kentucky, consis
ting Of one thousand and forty muskots and
rifles and six cannon. The cannon were
sent directly to Union City.
AT Fulton general scramble took place
for tho guns, and they were distributed
amongst the rebel camps lying immed late
ly beyond the Southern borders Of Ken
lucky.
The seizure excited so much feeling il
kentucky that the rebel officers in Tenn
essee thought best to disavow it and prom
Use to return the arms. Gov. Magoffin ha
also authorized on agent to take measure
to recover them, and it is probable the out
rage will be thus cancelled.

The Fremont editor who is mainly dis
tiDguished for having been trusted with $5,-
900 of the Lecompton corruption fund, would
have his readers believe that our only object
ion to his mode oflegislation grows out of the
fact that he frequently prints fraction of
the telegraph news in little handbilI, thus
opposing fearful competition to the Blade!
We should not want to say that people
who depend upon him for their informa-
ton and opinions, will not believe anything
he says. Indeed if they don't believe him,
it is difficult TO see what they want of his
paper. Poor souls 1t can't be that such
have lived long in "vilage."-Blade.

A NICE LITTLE HAUL,-Some time since,
it will bo recolected, large amount of
provisions and whisky was taken by our
flotilla on the Potomac ION board the Bu-
cua Vista,) on the Maryland side of the
river. 1t was, of course, sent to Washing
ton, but owing to some explanation of the
assumed owners, it was released, with the
understanding that all the property would
bc purchased by tho Government In ac-
cordanco with this arrangement, the War
Department bought it, tho whisky costing
the Government $40o. $50 far, so woll.'
A few days since it was discovered that tho
said whisky barrels contained, instead of
the ardent, lots Of the most approved pis-
tolls amounting to the volue Of some 5000!

Beauregard Very Mild,

The following official despatch from Beaure-
gard, addressed to jeff Davis after the affair OF
Sunday at Bull Run, was received at the War
Departmental Washington on Tuesday, by way
of Louisville:
"The battle lasted from o'clock till 4. We
have possession of the field The loss on both
sides is immense"
1t is clear that the rebels do not claim the
victory in their usual extravagant terms No
doubt the loss on their side was "immense"-
fully 1000 killed and wounded.
