men are busily engaged in mounting the heavy
columbiads on the ramparts, and preparing for a
vigorous defense. They were supplied with
fresh provisions from Charleston for the first
time on the day these people came away. No re-
endorsements had been received when the Ma
rion left, and the captain Of that vessel thinks
that great difficulty would be experienced in en-
tering the haroor and communicating with the
fort. The garrison is represented to have salt
provisions ard camp rations sufficient for long
siege. The preparations Of the South Carolinians

forward with vigOr on all sides, and there was

MISSOURI WAR NEWS.

Quincy, Sept. 6.-Gen. Pope is con-
centrating force in Missouri, which will
be heard from in few days. The rebels
under Green include about all the seces-
sion forces in Northwestern Missouri, and
are supposed to be near Shelbina. A
blow will be struck that will wipe them
out entirely as soon as adequate prepare
tons are made. The movements of our
troops are not to be made public at pres
ent but there is no doubt that General
Pope will follow up his plans until they
are fully executed, and the road opened
through to st. Joseph.
About 800 of Col. Loomis' regiment
were to-day armed and equipped, and
sent forward to Palmyra to hold the road,
and allow all the force there to be used
farther west.
Arms to-day went to Keokuk for Col.
Bussey's command he is to be brought
into action. Other movements are being
made which will ensure success to our
cause, of which you shall be informed as
soon as any decisive action takes place.

THE PRESIDENTIAL RE-
PLY TO GOV. MAGOFFIN.

The following is the pointed reply of
President Lincoln to the Gov. of Ken,
who demanded the removal Of the Un'-
ed States forces from that State:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. "a.
To His Excellency, B. Magoffin, Cover
nor of the State of Ken,
SIR: Your letter of the Is 9th inst, IN
which you surge the removal from the
limits of Kentucky of the military force
now organized, and in camp within that
State" is received.
1 may not posses full and precisely ac-
currate knowledge npon this subject; but
| believe it is true that there is military
force in camp within Kentucky, acting
BY authority ofth United States, which
force is not very large, and is not now
being augmented.
| also believe that some arms have
been furnished to this force by The Uni
ted States.
also believe that this force consists
exclusively of Kentuckians, having their
camp in the immediate vicinity of their
own homes, and not assailing or menac-
ing any of the good people of Kentucky.
In all have done in the premises l
have acted upon the urgent solicitation
of many Kentuckians, and in accordance
with what l believed, and still believe, to
be the wish of a majority of all the In
ion loving people of Kentucky.
While l have conversed upon this sub
ject with many eminent men of Ken,
including large majo,i ty of her men,
bers of Congress, l do not remember that
any one of them, or any other person, ex-
cept your Excellency and the bearers of
your Excellency's letters, has urged me
to remove the military force from Ken,
or to disband it. One other very worthy
citizen of Kentucky did solicit me to have
the augmenting of the force suspended
for n time. A-~-~5
Taking all the means within my reach
to form judgment, ] do not believe it is
the popular wish of Kentucky that this
force shall be removed beyond her limits !;
and, with this impression, must respect
fully decline so to remove it.
most coadialIy sympathize with your
Excelency in the wish to preserve the
peace of nv own native State, Kentucky !;
but it is with regret that search, and
cannot find, in your not very short letter,
any declaration or intimation that you
entertain any desire for the reservation
of the Federal Union.
Your obe't servant.
A. LINCOLN.

REV. W. B. JACOBS:
NEWARK, N. j., June 6, 1860.
Messrs. Perry Davis d Son Gantieaen :
Allow me, unsolicited, to send you word of
commentator for your Pain Killer. l have
used it in my family these several years, and
fonnd it all it claims to be. For Rheumatism,
Coughs, Colds, Bures, Cholera tendencies and
difficulties, as well as diseases generally that
prevail in families, regard the Pain Killer as
beyond all price, and as efficacious beyond
any medicine within my knowledge. We
keep it as our chief family medicine, and find
its use in ordinary cases worth more than any
doctor. The testimony of others among my
acquaintance and friends is equally favora-
able. Many clergymen have spoken of it in
the highest terms as family medicine. Mis-
sionaries in repeated instances have said to me
in person and in their letters, that the Pain
Killer was by far the best medicine used in
heather lands, and they use it for themselves
and families, and administer it to others
around them. Thus mnch l am inclined to
say as an act Of Justice to yourselves; and as
benefit to others. You are at liberty to use
this testimonial, if of any service.
