Official Honor to Mr.. Douglas-War
w Department.

.. N~ASHINGroN, June T..
The death Of a great statesman in this
hour of peril cannot be regarded otherwise
than a national calamity. Stephen A.
Douglas expired in the commercial capital
of Illinois yesterday morning at nine o.
clock. A representative of the oyerpow-
ering cause in which We are engaged, a
man who nobly discarded party for coun-
try. A Senator who forgot all prejudices
in an earnest desire to save the Republic,
a statesman who lately received for the
Chief Magistracy of the Union a vote sec
ond only to that by which the President
was elected, and who had every reason to
look forward to a long career of usefulness
and honor; a patriot, who defended with
equal zeal and ability the Constitution as
it came to us from our fathers. aud who's
last mission OH earth was that of %rallyiug
the people of his own state of illinois as
one man aronnd the glorious flag of the
Union-has been called from the sense of
life aud the field of his labors.
This Department recognizing in this loss
n common to the whole country, and
profoundly sensible of the grief it will ex-
cite among millions of men, hereby advises
the Colonies of the different regiments to
have this order read to. morrow to their re-
spectiye regiments and suggests that the
colors Of the Republic be draped in mourn.
ing in honor of the illustrious dead.

SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War.

The Phillippi Affair-What an Eye.
witness says.

We learn from a gentleman who left
Phillippi at nine O'clock yesterday morn
ing, and arrived here last night at eleven,
that the sccessionists we're routed abou at
daylight yesterday morning. They were
not expecting an attack. They were first
fired upon from a battery attached to an
Indiana Regiment. They fred one shot in
return and fed, leaving all their arms,
horses, provisions, ammunition, &c. Col.
Kelly, with his command, was on the op-
poside side of the town from where the Gre
commenced, Only two of the secessionists
were killed. and not more than half a doz-
ell taken prisoners. among whom is Wiley,
who was captured in the woods by Capt.
Geo. Robinson.
After the secessionists fed, and Colonel
Kelly was marching into town at the head
of his command, he was approached by a
desperate named Mart johnson, of Prun-
tytown, who shot him withla revolver. the
ball taking effect in his breast. Johnson
was Immediately seized, and would have
been instantly pinioned to the earth by a
hundred bayonets, but that the maguani.
nous Colonel ordered the men to spare
him. 1t is thought that had the In diana
regiment delayed fifteen minutes longer in
opening the FIRE, the whole sixteen hundred
secessionists could have been eaptured.-
