Bat just now the battle field presents

pure and simple, that no difference Of

there is no chance in this latitude to pct

The public heart will throb with more

killed ard three wounded. The one
killed was shot by Duryee's Zouaves
while lying in building in which troops
had been refuge from Col. Magruder S

had no rided cannon, and nothing but

WASHINGTON, June Is.
To-day Scott received information
that the rebels were concentrating all
their forces at Manassas. Scott has no
doubt but the rebels will make stand
there. A high military officer thinks
there will be movement made on Man
assas soon. They are talking quiet free
Iy of attacking Washington, and seemed
quite sanguine of success.
General Butler demanded $1,000
more troops, and will have them in five
days.
Gov. Morgan promised the Govern
ment that he would send regiments from
New York every three days until her
full quota was drawn.
A signal balloon was seen last night

They have transports sufficient to carry
$4,000 or 90, 900 men. The command :
err Mt Cairo had no doubt of his ability
to resist any force the rebels might bring
against him. 1t appears from ipforma-
ton communicated to our officers that
Pillow was expecting aid from Ken
lucky and Missouri, the Governors of
these States having given him assurances
to that effect. Arrangements have been
made by the United States, which would
prevent any such aid. 1t is understood
to be the intention of the Government to
request of the commanding officers in the
Southwest to concentrate moro troops in
that vicinity.

JEFF. DAVIS IN FAVOR OF FoRcIRLE SUP.
PRESTON OF REBELLIoN.-The National In
telligenceT says: "While the Honorable JEFF
ferson Davis was Secretary Of War under Pres-
ident Pierce, it will be remembered that the
Territory Of Kansas was the theater Of grave
political controversies, finally degeneratine into
civil feud. The contest arose among the adhe-
rents of two Legislatures respectfully assuming
to represent people Of that Territory. The BODY
sitting at Lecompton was recognized by the Ad-
ministration Of Mr.. Pierce, as the only leRiti-
mate repositories Of the legislative powers
capable of being exersised under the organic act
constituting the Territory. The body Sitting at
Topeka was regarded as revolutionary, and as
such, deserving to be dispersed by the Federal
authority. Under these circumstances il was
that on the Sd Of September, 1856, Mr.. Secre-
tary Davis wrote as follows to Gen. Persifer +.
Smith:
"The position Of the insurgents is that OF open
rebellion against the laws and constitutional
authorities, with such manifestations Of pur-
pose TO spread devastation over the land, as no
longer justihes further hesitation or indulgence.
Patriotism and humanity alike require that re-
bellion should be promptly crushed"
On the same day he made a requisition on the
Governor of Kentucky for two regiments to be
mustered into service, and to be at the call OF
Gen. Smith.
Then it was right to put down rebellion" by
arms, and to march militia from other States
to aid in enforcing the laws"

migrants are said to be losing many horses this
season by a malady called the Mountain
Thursee. The disease is a species of swelling
which originates in the vicinity Of the throat,
sometimes extending over and under the entire
laws, down the throat and into the chest Of
the animal, thus closing the respiratory organs
and producing death. Some think the cause Of
she disease is the sting of fly; others, spe-
cies Of poisonous grass. No remedy is known
