THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The war news this morning is very meager
From Washington we have absolutely nothing of
special Importance. Concerning the reported bat
tie at Lexington, Mo-, we receive only some
fragments, from sources not too Trustworthy or
intelligent. 1t is said that on Tuesday Gen.
Price made movement to obtain three ferry
boats on the river near Lexington, but that he
was repulsed with considerable loss; he appears
however, to have subsequently secured the boats.
On Wednesday, according to the same MARIA
tive, Price attacked Col. Mulhgan in his
intrenchments at Lexington, and was driven
back with the loss OF 500 or 400. This
statement is in measure confirmed by
reports from other sources, The attack on
Wednesday was determined, aud lasted nearly
all DAY. Re-eDfOrcements had reached the vicin.
ity of Colonel Mullisan, but it was not certain
that they could find boats in which to cross the
river. McCulOch, with 1000 men, was ut the
Last accounts on the Usage River, about seventy
miles from Jefferson City. 1t was thought that
an attack would soon be made by him. We
have news of variety Of skinshes in Missouri
and Western Virginia, in the course OF which
the Rebels are always signally defeated, but the
engagements are not Of sufficient magnitude to
attract special attention.

Rebel reenforcements under Gems Johnston
" and Kirby Smith. Had Tyler's column opened
" the attack at daylight, as ordered, the battle
" of Bull Run would have been complete and
" most important victory to the arms Of tbe'
" Union before noon Of that day." The simple
answer to this is, that Gen. Tyler was actually
the fret upon the field, opened his attack at
few minutes after 6 o'clock, and was compelled
to wait until 10 for the cooperation of Hunter
aud Heintzelman. The delay in getting into po-
sition was on the part of these two latter Gen.
erals and not of Gen. Tyler. Any of the reports
viii establish this fact So each and all of The
Leedsrs charges are exactly in reverse of the
truth

Now that the Government has at last decided
to institute the allotment system, whereby every
volunteer in the army may leave behind him an
order for as much as he peases of his wages
for his wife or any other relative, it is to be
hoped that measures win be taken to make the
fact as widely known as possible. 1t cannot but
give an impulse to enlistment, for the great
anxiety with that class who make the rank ana
file is, necessarily a provision during their ab-
sence for families or friends dependent upon
them. The uncertainty has undoubtedly re-
strained many patriot longing to go forward
in defense OF his country but who could not
forget nor forego his first duty to those of his
own household. The adoption Of the allotment
system removes this obstacle to the filling up OF
the army. When it is understood what the priv
icge is which it secures it will, without doubt,
revive the activity which has died away of late
in all the recruiting stations.
1t is not, perhaps, generally known that Con
gress passed m act, two months ago, on the
I'D of July, authorizing the adoption of the
system but for some reason or other, nothing
has been done under il TIL now. Mr.. Geo. W.
Blunt, early in the session, called the attention
of Gen. Scott and others at Washington, and
afterward of Gov. Morgan, to the urgent neces-
sity of some such measure. His efforts were
seconded by tue Sanitary Committee, aud the
law was passed, but has been thus far permitted
to be without effect We trust that Controller
Haws will succeed in putting in motion the ma
chnery for which Congress was careful to pro-
vide 50 long ago.

IHIE PHOAPECT.

The Government and People of the United
States are now veing with each other in earnest
efforts to put down the great Pro Slavery Re-
belon. The People furnish men and money;
the Government employs them to the best of It's
ability in resisting the intrigues and the arms OF
the Confederate traitors. There are not prob
ably less than Three Hundred Thousand Men
this day under arms in defense Of the Union,
and every week adds thousands to the number.
Hardly less than Two Millions Of Dollars per
day are being paid into the National Treasury
by the People and expended in raising, armlng
and equippng regiments, casting cannon, bnyiOg
ammunition, importing and manufacturing fire.

being rapidly absorbed by the popular demand;
shOemakcrs, seamstfesses, market-WOmen and
almost every one who has $50 to spare invest
ing his or her surplus cash in said Loan. Large
amounts are being rapidly absorbed in the con-
structiOn of gunboats and other needed vessels.
in the outfit of formidable naval expeditions,
and in the purchase of arms, clothing, equip
ments, horses tents, provisions, &c. Yet the
Treasury never returns hollow sound to those
promises to pay on demand are freely tskon at
par, and everywhere current for their face;
many millions of these will doubtless be ab-
sorbcd by the demand, and kept in constant cir
culatiOn. Let the War for the Union be pro-
secuted with yigor and success, and the means
viii evidently not be wanting.
Nor is there any serious deficiency of men.
We estimate the number who have already vol
ullteered for the defense of the Union at Three
Hundred and Fifty Thousand, Of whom Eighty
Thousand have been discharged on the expira-
ton Of their term Of service, ten thousand have
deserted, and ten thousand more proved deficient
IN physical stamina or disabled by disease, expo
sure or wounds, leaving Two Hundred and Fifty
Thousand to-day in the field, with steady net
increase OF not less than One Thousand per day

The Mayor being temporarily absent yesterday
Ala Genet. Acting Mayor, by virtue of his Office
as President of the Board Of Aldermen, produced
a letter of resignation from Capt Smith, Street
Commissioner, dated of Lexington, Kentucky,
and meeting of the Board OF Aldermen being
convened, sent in the nomination Of Mr. Shepherd
F. Knapp for the vacancy, which was approved,
with but one dissenting voice. Mr.. Knapp is
tallOw-chander Of Front street, somewhat famous
for his devotion TO hcrse,raciDg and cOckfghting,
and therefore well qualified to administer the
millions of money which this Department controls.
OF course, with his assistance, Mr.. Genet VIII
be able to achieve the Democratic nomination for
County Clerk. to which he aspires. The Deputy
Commissioner is Mr.. Edward Even, late Superin-
tendcnt of Street improvements who was ap'
pointed BY Mr.. Smith after the resignation OF Capt
Lowell. Smith and Lowell drew their salaries up
TO the last moment and are now said to be
actively engaged with the Kentucky Secessonlsts
for the overthrow Of the Government Their
trcachery, if rumor should prove to be correct, Is
only another Illustration Of the infalny OF the
men who are engaged in this diabclical rebellion
against the Government Smith is a relative OF
Breckenridge, and there is reason to believe that
he and Lowell have only been awaiting their OPP
portunity to Join the Rebels. Upon the invasion
of Kentucky by the legons Of jeff DAVIS they
appear to have quietly left The city, and thrown
of their masks. Lowell was among the hrst WI"
were suspected in New-Ycrk, and it was only by
giving his parole of honor that he escaped arrest
mouths ago. We shall now sec how much value
he places upon his pledge

Tie n. T. Leader has brought against Gen.
charges Of military misconduct, on the strength
of which it argues that this officer should never
again be put in position of command. 1t first
alleges that to Gen. Tyler we owe the intro
"ductiOn of steamocOmotiye charges against
masked batteries" The incident to which
The Leader here refers, in which, by the way,
no - masaed batteries" were concerned, occurred
under command Of Gen. Schenck Of Ohio.
Gen. Tyler was not in the remotest manner con-
nected with it, The second complaint is 90 that
" Gen. Tyler invoked and incurred defeat by ad-
vaneing with his brigade, contrary to direct
/" and positive orders, against the enemy at
" Blackburn's Ford" In the Blackburn's Ford
affair. Gen. Tyler led a division, not merely
brigade, and was consequently invested with
considerable discretionary power, upon which he
acied. There was no defeat, because there was
no engagement 1t was simply a reconnaissance,
made in pursuance of direct orders, and not IN
opposition 20 them. Finally, The Lender de-
clares {" that the defeat OF Bull Run is mainly
" attributed by competent judges TO Gen. Tyler's
NEGLECT of orders in not attacking the enemy
"at sunrise "Tyler's column did not get

POSTAGE STAMPS,

For its own convenience, the Government OF
the United States issues POstage-Stamps, which
are, in effect, its own promises to pay one,
three, ten, or twcnty-four cents in Postage.
Millions of these, which have been fairly
purchased and paid for, are now in the hands
of citizens, representing so much cash paid into
tie Federal Treasury by them, for which no
equivalent has been rendered, only the promise
of one. At length, the Government sees fit to
replace the familiar, weknown stamps, by new
ones, which are thereat to embody many inn
proyements on the DID, So far, we'll Next the
Government proposes to protect itself against
fraud and Inconvenience by recalling the old
stamps as yet unused, and giving new instead.
Good. again. But it. adds that, from aud after
to-day, the old stamps shall neither be recog-
nized os valid and allowed to perform their
prescribed function, nor shall they be redeemed,
whether in new stamps or in cash This will
never do. These unused stamps are Government
promises to pay-are evidences OF Public Debt
and cannot be thus juggled out Of validity.
They must still be redeemed somehow-either in
cash, in postal service or in the new stamps, to
tie full amount Of their face. Any other course
involves disgracefal reputation. We exhort the
Postmaster. 6 General to give early attention to
this matter, and so modify his late order as to
keep faith with public creditors.

We do not yet hear of any movement to
reconcile tho difference between the Peoples and
the Republican Convention respecting the candl-
date for Canal Commissioner for the Short
Term. AS the matter now stands, the public are
divided on two candidates, when they should be
united on one; and although it is probable that
with the great momentum OF the Union move
ment, Mr.. TaIlmadge ia the stronger candidate
of the two still it is plain that such division
must be hurtiul to the cause. Let new man

mated, and who viii yet be agreeable to Repub-
licans and there viii then be nothing TO inter-
fere with the majority of three hundred thousand
which the Union War ticket is bound to receive.

be an objection to the withdrawal Of either Mr..
Bruce or Mr.. Tallmadge in favor of the other

GEN. FREMONT AND THE PEOPLE.
The Germans Of ST. Louis SUSTAIN Gen. Ere
mont Their brethren in Illinois and Indiana
also sustain him. With the most intelligent Of
the American Republicans they say that there il
an incOmpatibility, as between fire and water,
between war aud the civil law which seeks TO
protect those against whom the war is urged.
They regret the Presidents modification of Gen.
Fremont's proclamation of freedom TO the slaves
but congratulate the friends Of Civil Liberty
throughout the world that the bondmen Of all
Mssourans in arms against the Union, between
the dates of Gen. Fremonts proclamation and
the Presidents countermand of it, are free be-
yond the power of any law or politics on this
Continent to reduce them again to slavery.
CONFIDENCE IN THE GOVERNMENT.
The confidence in the War and Navy Depart.
ments is fully restored. The recruiting aud the
enlistments are greater than at any period since
the war began. The farmers of New-York and
New-England are now giving the Republic the
very best stuff armies were ever made of, aud
from the canals and lakes we know that brigades
and divisions of the choicest troops will soon be

The Union War gathering held last evening in
the Cooper Institute was the most successful
Ratification meeting which has ever inaugurated
new political movement in this city. Within
Eve minutes of the opening OF the doors the

Ii. Marshall was elected President. 4 very

that the feeling at the South, the number Of
