A Groan in Advance-A ssWhalins'
Anticipated.

The Louisville Journal of the 9th inst,
says
The indications seem to be that the Texas,
Arkansas, and Missouri troops under McCul-
Tough, and the Tennessee troops under Gen.
Polk or Gen. Pillow, will within two or three
DAYS, if not even sooner, combine and attack
Birds Point and Cairo. To Us, with such
limited knowledge as we possess, the proba-
bilities appear to be that both of those places
will be carried. In the first place, we be-
lieve that the United States troops will be at
| tackled by a vastly superior force, and, in the
| second place, we presume that the Confede-
crates will have greatly the advantage in
artillery.
The truth il, the Confederates can have
| just what artillery they please. They have
| for months. thanks to their activity and au-
dacity In the work of seizure and conisca-
ton, had more steamboats, in and near Men,
phis than they knew what 10 do with More
over, they have at Memphis, Fort Randolph,
Fort Harris. &c, at least thirty or forty
columbiads and other guns of tremendous
calibre taken by railroad from Fort Sumter
aud the other foriitications in Charleston
harbor. Well, by means of their steamboats,
they can take just as many of their big guns
as they please TO any point near the mouth
of the Ohio. and, if they can fnd three or
three and half miles from Birds Point and
Cairo a position az all favorable, that is po-
sition i1 sight of those places, they can, tor
auaht we can see. lombard them at pleasure
without the slightest danger from ball or
shell in return
IL may be that General Fremont and Gen
eral Preniiss have effectively guarded against
such q danger, but we have no Information of
their having done so. Beyond all doubt the
Confederate troops are confidently snticipat-
ing victory.

TIL. p,.po.ttton of Prisoners.

In the Senate In January last, Judge
DOUGLAS. in speech relating to the action
of the Southern States in withdrawing from
the Union and the results flowing and to fOw
therefrom, observed that sooner or later the
Government would be forced, in some form
or other. to recogsize the practical existence
of Revolution. You may, he said in suo-
stance, now call the people and States en-
gagged 10 this Southern movement traitors,
rebels and insurrectionists. So did George
Ill. at the outset Of the Revolution of l176
stigmaiize the COlonists; bnt in the progress
of events, it was found to be q war, and to
h conducted and carried on by the rules
sdop,ed BY civilized nations And 50 it
xouId be ia this case: prisoners would be
taken on both sides, and would have to be
disposed OF in some way In May last some
of the Northern journals took ground that
eyery man taken in arms against the Federal
Goserument should be bung within half an
hour. as guilty of treason. They urged that
the delays incident to Judicial proceedings IN
such csses we're unnecessary and expensive
and could not be tolerated, aud that the rule
should be adopted at the outset, Of making
quick work 10 the premises by instant hsug
ing. The government at Washington did not
adopt tbi. bloody and barbarous programme.
The affair at Big Bethel led to tie exchange
of one or two prisoners only, on the ordinary
rules of war. The policy adopted at st.
Louis In May, was to administer an oath
bindIug the prisoner no more to take up arms
against the Government, and upon this oath
to discharge the prisoner. This policy was
also pursued after the affairs at Beverly and
Rich Mountain. Most of the prisoners were
discharged under the oath not to bear arms
in future against the Government. and not to
give information to the ''rebels"
II the meantime the Confederate Govern
ment has pursued the ordinary roles of war
upou this subject. They have retained their
Federal prisoners to be exchanged upon the
usuaI terms and conditions. The late battle
=. Manassas and the number Of prisoners on
both sides, again brings the Administration
face to face with the question as to what dis
position shall be made of prisoners. Upon
this subject the Washington correspondent OF
the N. z. Evening Poa of the lst Inst, has
she following:

AmaIgamations

The Board of Education of Chicago lex
cept few sensible members) have practical.
Iy declared in favor of an amalgamotion of the
white and black races. This is the only in
depreciation which can be put upon their &C
ton admitting negroes to the common schools
of the city. When, how, or where the people
of this municipality have expressed prefer
ence for such mingling, we do not know
unless it was in the election of the men who
have coDsummated it. 1t cannot be doubted
that this action, now so generally known, is
a serious injury to the public educational in
stifutions. There is in the great masses of
the people a natural and proper loathIng of
the negro, which forbids contact with him as
with leper. This sentiment is outraged by
his Introduction into the common schools,
and it will be found, we think, that people
will forego education for their children, OF
will, at least, seek it at their private ex-
pense, rather than subject them to the con-
termination of such an association.

BATTLE OF MANASSAS,
Address Of Generals Johnston and
Beauregard to the Army.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE
Potomac,

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE
PoToMAc.
Manassa Junction, July %.
Soldiers Of the Confederate States
One week ago a countless host of men, or
ganized into an army, with all the appoint
ments which modern art and practiced skill
could devise, invaded the soil of Virginia.
Their people sounded their approach with
triumphant displays of anticipated victory
Their Generals came in almost regal state.
Their Ministers, Senators, and women came
to witness the immolation of this army and
subjugation OF our people and to celebrate
these with wild revelry.
1t is with the profoundest emotions of graf
itude to an overriding God, whose hand is
manifest in protecting, our homes and your
liberties, that we, your Generals command
ing, are enabled, in the name of our whole
country, to thank you for that patriotic cour-
age, that heroic gallantry, that devoted dar-
ing, exhibited by you in the actions of the
18th and 21st OF July, by which the host of
the enemy was scattered, and signal and
glorious victory was achieved.
The two affairs of the 18th and 21st were
but the sustained and continued efforts of
your patriotism against the constantly recur-
ring colors of an enemy fully treble our
numbers, and this effort was crowned, on the
evening of the 2Ist, with a victory SO COM
the field and made to fly in disorderly rout
back to their entertainments, a distance of
over thirty miles.
They left upon the field nearly every piece
of their artillery, a large portion of their
arms, equipments, baggage, stores, &C., &C.,
and almost every one oil their wounded and
dead, amounting, together with the prison
ers, to many thousands, and thus the North:
ern hosts were driven by you from Virginia
Soldersi we congratulate you on an event
which insures the liberty of our country. We
congratulate every man of you whose glori-
GUS privilege is was to participate in the tri-
umph of courage and truth. to fight in the
battle of Manassa. You have created an
epoch in the history of liberty, and unborn
nations will rise up and call you blessed
Continue this noble devotion, looking always
to the protection of the just God, and before
time grows much older, we will be hailed as
the deiverers of nation of ten millions of
peoplei
Comradesl Our brothers who have fallen
have earned undying renown, and their blood,
shed in our holy cause, is precious and &C
ceptable sacrifice to the gather of Truth and
Right; their graves are beside the tomb of
Washington, their spirits have joined his in
eternal communion We will hold the soil in
which the dust of Washington is mingled
with the dust of our brothers. We drop one
tear on their laurels, and move forward to
avenge them.
Soldiersl We congratulate you on glori-
GUS triumph and complete victory. We
thank you for doing your whole duty in the
service of your country.

Information has been received in this city
that Hon. HORACE MAYNARD, and GEO. w.
BRIDGEs,-( the latter accompanied by his
family. )-have left the State, as is supposed
for Washington. Both of them were candi-
dates for the United States Congress on the
Union ticket, and left at the earliest moment,
after the election, doubtless fearing arrest.
Hon. THos. A. R. NELSON also left, but was
arrested in Lee county, Virginia, and sent
to Abingdon. We regret that all three of
these misguided men were not arrested
The two who have escaped may do the State
serious injury by conveying information to
the enemy of the condition of affairs in Ten
nessee, and by exposing to them the weak
points-if such there be-in our defences.
We accept the arrest of Mr.. NELSON as an
indication that henceforth there Is to be no

and the laws obeyed. Men in Tennessee who
still cling to the Union, and sigh for the re-
instatement of its authority, must expect
either 10 change their views or their place of
residence. Enemies cannot be tolerated in

strife with the North with its excess of men
and superiority of arms end other materials

at whatever cost. Whether this result shall
be attained only at the price of civil war.

sympathies with the Lincoln usu-pation have
placed them in opposition to the verdict OF
the State in favor of Southern Independence.

prefer to force the issue of a bloody arbitra-
ment, upon them be the responsibility.

This course has been pursued towards all the
prisoners taken in Western Virginia. The
friends of federal prisoners now at Manas-
sas or Richmond demand that there be an
exchange of prisoners, or at least that there
be no further release of the rebel prisoners
while federal soldiers remain in the Rich
mond jails. But these persons overlook a
great difficulty The government cannot well
make an exchange of prisoners without a re-
coguition of the s'belligerent rights" of the
so-called Southern Coufederacy. This whole
question is at this moment receiving the most
thorough consideration, and the determine
ton OF the government viii be announced at
an early day. If an exchange OF prisoners
is agreed upon, the arrangements will be per-
fected at once"
1t appears, therefore, that the permanent
policy of the Federals is not yet determined
They a-e afraid to adopt the ordinary rule,
because that would grant, by implication, to
the South status of war, of Revolution, and
consequently carry all the usual belligerent
rights. This would necessarily overturn their
theory of an undivided and indivisible
Union, and give the South, at least, quasi
acknowledgement as in itself to invite all
foreign nations to recognize the existence in
the Revolutionary South of a de facso govern
ment, capable, for all the purposes of the
war, of treating and holding a separate ma
tionality from the Government at Washing
ton. This, England has already substantial
ly done, yet the Administration is evidently
slow to justify such action on the part OF
foreign powers.
at whatever determination the Lincoln
government may arrive on this question, our
gov eminent will undoubtedly pursue the
straight path in which it has set out. If the
number of prisoners increases on its hands,
it may become expedent for it to release a
portion of them, on conditions similar to
those imposed by the Federalists; but it will
retain enough to secure the proper treat
ment of all defenders of Southern liberty
and independence, whether captured on sea
or land. This is not only our policy but
our duty.

Washington, July 81, 1861.
GENERAL ORDERS, No. l3.-It has been the
prayer of every patriot that the tramp and
din of civil war might, at least, spare the
precincts within which repose the sacred re-
mains of the Father of his country; but this
hope is disappointed. Mount Vernon, SO re-
Gently consecrated anew to the immortal
Washington by the ladies of America, has al
ready been overrun by bands of the rebels,
who, having trampled under foot the Consti-
tuition of the United States, the ark of our
freedom and prosperity, are prepared to tram
pie on the ashes of him to whom we are all
mainly indebted for those mighty blessings.
Should the operations of war take the
United States troops in that direction, the
General in Chief does not doubt that each
and every man will approach with due rev.
erence, and leave uninjured not only the
tomb, but also the house, and groves, and
walks which were so loved byAthe best and
greatest of men. WINFIELD SCOTT.
