By the Pacific railroad, trains which ar
rived last night about ten o'clock, there
was large number of passengers from
Jefferson City and beyond. From them we
learn that the secessionists under Colonel
Staples have appeared in large force in
Pettis and johnson counties and have Ia
ken military possession of Warrensburgh,
in johnson county, and of Georgetown
and Sedalia, in Pettis county Great
excitement and alarm are reported. As
we understand, Colonel B. w. Green
has come into Jefferson City from be-
yond with two hundred Home Guards un-
der his command, having left ebehind two
hundred more, who had expected to be
conveyed to-day over the road to that city.
A corps of Home Guard cavalry, under
Captain Perkin, was said to be leaving for
the same destination. Several families had
left Sedalia, some of which went to Jeffer-
son City and some have come to St. Louis
Fear was felt in some quarters at Jefferson
City that the enemy might be able to APP
prOach with a force strong enough to
threaten the capture of that city, unless
renforcements were sent thither Immediate
ly. Ii we are not misinformed, Gen. FIRE.
mont was yesterday officially informed by
telegraph that appearances indicated the
necessity of sending more troops there with
out delay. At present there are stationed
there Colonel Wortbington's Iowa regi-
ment and Dolonel Mulligan's regiment,
which, with the Home Guards, would
swell the whole force there to some $500.
S. A. Low, Esq, of Pettis county,
who arrived last night, and is authori.
ty for part of the above statement, is of
opinion that staples, or whoever may
be finally in command, will be able to
muster in one body some 5000 men ;
and will cooperate in movemsnt on
Jefferson City. Another informant is of
the opinion that Staples has risen to retail
late upon the Union men in Pettis county,
and means to confne his operations to that
county.
Besides the news above, there were
reports at Jefferson City that portion of
Prices or Jackson's army was advancing,
ane had got as far as Warsaw, in Benton
county. 1t is not stated under whose com.
mand they were.--Missousi Republican.

McClellan's Energy.

Colonel Forney writes from Washington
to the Philadelphia Press of Monday:
There never has been so much quiet and
order in Washington, and so much indus
try and energy on the part of the young
COMMANDMENT Chief of the American for
ces. Glad to hear what all men have to
say-ready to receive statesmen, editors and
politicians-he is careful to avoid commit
ting himself to revelation of a single one
of bis plans. You will observe that noth-
ing has been printed, either as to his pur-
poses or bis opinions. His headquarters, at
the residence of Commodore Wilks, corner
of Sixteenth and II streets, is thronged
with visitors, and, although always busy,
be is always ready to receive information
no matter by whom presented. f.5
His confidential aids are regular officers,
trained in many hard campaign, and he
has at his side, in his iather-in-law, Col.
R. B. Marcy, U. S. A., sale, experienced
and prudent counsellor. Every available
point near the city has been carefully guard
ed, with silence and rapidity that have
infused confidence into all classes. The life
of General Mcclellan has been double life.
He has been an officer of the army, and the
head of two great railroads, and thus be is
equally soldier and statesman. He is
enough of a martinez to insist upon disci-
pline among his men, and sufficiently pol
itician to understand the prejudices and in.
terests of the people by whom be is sur
rounded. Hence there is no doubt that,
while taking care to protect the capital, he
will exercise sleepless vigilance over the
traitors who. nestle in our midst. The ar
rest of Faulkner was undoubtedly one of
his suggestions, and any movements upon
the disatfected population hereabouts will
not only receive his sanction but be pushed
forward with unreenting vigor. 1t is worth
recording sthat General Mcclellan knows
Davis, Beauregard, Lee and Johnston init.
mately. He knows their prejudices, their
habits, their theories and their abilities, and
is therefore their master, because, occupy.
ing position which will compel them to
advance upon him, be will be enabled to
wait until they have been exhausted by their
own factions and by the efficiency of the
blockade. 1t is due to General Mcclellan
to add'that no one PAYS more Difference to
the opinions of the veteran Lieut.. General
than he does. He visits him daily.

FORTRESS MONROE, August II.

FORTRESS MONROE, August II.
The arrival of Major General Wool has
created an excitement all around Old Point
Comfort. The Louisiana mail boat came
in at an earlier hour than usual this morn
ing. The presence Of Gen. Wool was soon
made known to US by the firing of the Mas
jor Generals salute-thirteen guns. They
were we'll served, at the water battery of
Fortress Monroe. There was no firing from
the ships-of.war, though it is presumed
there will be, when he visits them officially.
Gen. Wool rode into the Fort side by
side with Gen. Butler, 10 an open carriage.
After breakfast the two commanders visited
Newport News Point camp together, where
there was more saluting. Gen. Phelps did
his part well on the occasion--as be always
does everything pertaining to his duty as an
accomplished soldier.
General Wool looks vigorous and active
by no means as old as some OF the papers
represent him to be. His reputation as q
drill officer and strict dsciplinarian has
preceded him, and produces decided effect.
1t is expected that there will be a large in
crease of regular army officers in a short
time. 1t is to be hoped that they will be
soon followed by sufficient force Of troops,
especially cavalry and artillery. 1t has
been my judgment, from the commencement
Of this most righteous war to put down a
most unrighteous treason, that. after the
protection of Washington was secured For
tress Monroe should be made the base of
operations. My convictions gather strength
with the experience of each succeeding day.
With competent army and fleet Of gun
boats here, strong in cavalry and artillery,
with rifled cannon of long range, the affairs
of Bethel and Bull Run would never have
happened, and we should to day have been
in possession of Norfolk and Yorktown.
The traitors might thus have been deprived
of the largest part of their guns, and other
munitions of war, and Richmond would be
an invested if not conquered city.
General Wool assumes the command of
this department under these circumstances,
but with a bright presage around him. He
will bring an influence from the Empire
State of great power. May kind Heaven
send the brave soldier safe delverance
from the party politicians Heaven knows
that if be escapes them he needn't fear any
other enemies.-COr. N. Y. Com. Adv.
