Mr.. Mcclure passed here from Springfield to-
day, where he had been invited by Mr.. Lincoln.
He asserts positively that no Cabinet appoint
ments for Pennsylvania had been absolutely de-
termined on Mr.. Lincoln's wishes reflect the
views Of friends in Pennsylvania, and he will
appoint none in whom he has not confidence,
personally and politically as he can best judge
from expressions made from the State to him.
Delegates to Chicago, and other leading Rcpub-

New York, Jan 6.
The Herald's Washington correspondent says
the Border States Conventions plan of ADJUST
ment appears to have at FIST met with consider
able favor, and it was thought likely that the
President would commend 1t to the attention of
both Houses of Congress, but the caucus of Re-
publicans, after full and free discussion upon the
merits Of the Border States Programme, decid-
ed adversely to any and all compromise whatev-
er, and agreed simply to press forward the regu-
lar business of the session, and then adjourn
sine die. ..-.
At meeting Of the House Committee on the
Crisis, yesterday, Mr.. Hamilton, of Texas, SUBJ,
mitted proposition in favor of calling Nation
al Convention of delegates fresh from the people
with view to amending the Constitution so as
to meet the requirements Of all sections of the
country.
The reports from Charleston represent the con.
diton OF affairs there as deplorabe. The troops
ordered into the field by the Governor are said
to be suffering severely from the exposure Incl
dent to their new mode of life, and much sick
ness prevails among them, while the merchants
are without business and the mechanics without
work.
Strange as 1t may appear, am not to tell you
that the President elect has given carte blanche
| to Senator Seward to agree upon any plan OF
| settlement that New York and Pennsylvania can
stand together upon. .'a
Hon. @. G. Clay, Jr, of Alabama, has arrived
here. His presence is esteemed as a favorable
omen of compromise and peace.

this morning from the commander Of the Pacific

Since the return of our forces to the viciri-

prevailed of medilatcd attacks on the city by

An1neiaant Of the battle.

A correspondent Of the Phlladel-
phia Inquirer writes +:
The officers who took Mr.. Pryor
prisoner say that among the other
prisoners taken was q very badly
wounded rebel officer, who wore the
eagle of a Colonel on his shoulder
strap. He appeared to have got Ia
advance of his regiment and got sep
arated from them, and SO cut Off
His left arm had been shatteted above
the elbow, and the useless member
was dangling II. his coat sleeve. He
was also bleeding profusely from a
wound in the side, yet waving his
sword in the air, he would not give
up until surrounded, and big fellow
of one of the Maine regiments rushed
up to him, threw down his own gun
and clasped the officer around the
body. The sword then dropped from
his grasp, AMI he sank upon the
ground. The first words he said
were, "What fools you Yankees are
to attack us with such a handful of
men. why" replied his captors,
chow many have. you got?' "There
are 10000 on the field, beside S. ?
here his strength failed; he sighed
heavily, the blood gushcd from his
side in a torrent, he called out in a
faint tone, Emma, Emma, repeating
the same twice, stretched out Lis limbs
and expired. He was a very hand

age.

Not So desperate After ali,


The general understanding amongst
secessionists is that the South are to
fight until determination, rather than
fail in division Of the Union. TlEat
will do to talk over a brandy SMASH
Rather than submit to dishonor, q
people may fight to determination,
perhaps; but they don't do it, in this
world of ours We notice that the
secessionists run and surrender Just
like other people. They take. an oath
to fight no more, and go home, like
sensible men, who when they can't do
ANY better, do the best they can. The
people at home South will act the
same way. They are no more desper-
ate than those who have gone to the
wars. Some politicians would like to
see the people fight to determination,
rather than let themfall; but the pco-
pie will not do iy;. not they-have
more sense. A brave. man is not nee

The Missouri State Convention elected
during the early stages of the secession move
ment, reassembled last week at Jefferson City.
The traitorons Governor. jackson, as well as
the Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of
State, who are refugees from the State and
now bearing arms against the Government,
were deposed and loyal men elected in their
stead, who are duly inaugurated and have en-
tered upon the discharge of their duties. This
takes away from the secessionists the adVan-
tage they enjoyed of having the State Govern.
ment on their side, and places the Union men
in position to render effective aid in crushing
the rebellion ia that section.

Troops from the loyal States are pouring
into Washington at rapid rate. The arri-
walls already have not only made good the
number of three months men who have with
drawn, but increased the aggregate number
now in the city and vicinity TO nearly 10000.
And beside the forward movement of troops
the work of raising and equippiag new regi-
ments is progressing with rapidity, and from
present indications it will not be long be-
fore the 100000 said to be ordered to the
Capital will be there and ready for action
The Governor of New York mas issued a
proclamation calling for $4,000 additional
men from that State, and the call is being no.
bly, responded to; Pennsylvania is responding
with equal promptness and patriotism; Ohio
is authorized to furnish thirty-six regiments
Of Infantry, which she will promptly do; New
Jersey viii furnish five additional regiments,
and the other loyal States in like proportion.

We lost no Generals; only one of our our Col

The first and second Ohio regiments from
Washington. reached Columbus on Monday.
They were sent to camp Chase, where in a few
days they will be paid off and mustered out
of service. The regiments of three months
men recently operating in Western Virginia
have also returned for the purpose of being
paid off and discharged. 1t is said large
proportion of them will enlist for the war.

The criticisms and comments upon the bat
tie of July 2lst, by newspaper editors and
correspondents, would fll volumes. Each ex-
plains TO his own satisfaction the cause of the
unfortunate result, and but few fail to point
cut just how ii might have been avoided
Whatever might have been the result under
different circumstances, we think it may be
safely asserted that 10 the arrival on the
ground at the critical moment of the reinforce

for what was then a manifest defeat being
turned into victory; aud that to the criEn'
al negligence, cowardicc or treachery Of Pat

Johnsons forces joining those of Beauregard.

writing the day after the battle, under the
impression that Patterson had joined Mellow
ell, and speaking of the state of the contest at
noon, says:
The fortunes of the day were evidently
against us Some of our best officers had
been slain. and the flower of our army lay
strcwn upon the field, ghastiy in death or gap

correspondent of.1h1 Cincinnati Com
mercjaI, writing from the camp of the %

thus notices the discovery and arrest of fc-
male spy, who another corraspol Int says
halls from Georgia;
"On Sunday last we discovered female
soldier in our camp she enlisted in Company
ID. on the 10Th OF May last, and has been do
ing soldier duty ever since. On all the long
marches We have made. She has carried her
mu>kct and knapsacl the whole time, and
has never complained or Jagged behind, 1t
is astonishing to every one how she ever stood
up under it.
On being closely questioned, she confessed
that she was spy, and in constant communi-
cation with the re5els-that she is a member
If the Knights Of the Golden circle, and
though that order, members of which she
finds everywhere, she has founl the means of
forwarding her letters to the rebels. She
says she knew full well that the penalty for
baipg a spy was death. and that she is ready
whenever they wish to shoot her. She has
been kept prisoner ever since, and will be
forwarded TO COLUMBUS for safe keeping"

The York papers give a list
of fifty-three regiments of volunteers
furnished from.N that. State for the
present war.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1861-08-02

These figures doubtless approximate the
truth, and probably exceed rather than fall
short of the number that precise and accu-
rate count would show. The Ohio and other
regiments that were reported by the first
frightened fugitivcs that reached Washington
as "cut ts pieces were found to have suffered
very little, when the truth was ascertained F.;
and OF these that did suffer severely the num-
Der of killed and wounded was vastly magni-
fed by the first reports. In both officers and
men, and especially in officers, the rebel loss
evidently far exceeded ours.
