itied Saturday evening with the number present
to listen to his speech and his success in obtain
ing recruits His remarks were of a strongly pat
riotc and eloquent character, and aroused the
enthusiasm of his fellow country men 10 a high
pitch. We understand that after he finished his
address, about fifty five members of the Emmet
Guards enrolled their names as volunteers in his
regiment. Ii will take bu. few DAYS TO fill the
company to its full compliment of men, and il
will prove one of the most energetic and fighting
companies yet organized in the State Colonel
Mullen "saw service" in Mexico knows how to
control and manage men, and lead them where
glory points the way We trust he has met with
success in other cities similar TO that accorded
him here, and that we may soor hear of his regi-
ment in the field.

"A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writing from Nolin, kentucky, under date of
November 5, says:
Indianians had quite jubilee in camp over
the visit of their justly popular Governor. Maj
General Love. Quartermaster General Vaien and
several OF the other State military authorities,
accompanied the Governor. There was a recep-

first brigade, complimentary visit to Willich's
splendid regiment, a military consultation that
may speedily result in something important

-THE Cur -rHRoAls OF WAsHINeroS.-The
Washington correspondent of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer thus shows up the operators in
Washington
There is also set of gamblers here who have
infested the city for years, who keep fast horses
and fast women, and accommodate fast Congress-
men who seem to be favored by all administra
tions, and receive munifcent showers from Uncle
| Sans money chests, in the way of jobs, contracts
/ &c, with that sort of department which would
induce those not initiated in the secret operations
of Washington society TO believe that they had a
sort of divine right to all these good things. The
fact is the Government has always been more or
| less under the influence of set of unprincipled
/ cut-throats and vagabonds whose headquarters
are here and who understand the adroit manage
ment of the wires which run through all the de-
partments.
Good men and able men who are in high posi-
| tions here and who have the confidence of the
people, are deceived by these cunning reptiles,
who are more keen than the old serpent in the
garden of Eden, and the result is that they are
| entangled in their meshes before they are aware
of it. They accomplish their ends through mem
/ bers of Congress and other prominent persons,
whom they have brought under obligations to
them IN some way-secret perhaps in many in
/ stances and not very much to the credit of these
| high functionaries if made public. might give

late administrations, where fat jobs and fat
offices have been obtained by the secret in
trigues and intimacy which has existed between
women, married and unmarried, and members

SECRETARY CHASE ON THE WAR.-The spec

Secretary Chase returned Sunday. In address

said that the Government saw their way clearly
10 ouel the rebellion that they bad information
! which warrants them in. saying that the public
/ would soon hear glad tidings of success, more
startling and more effective in their results than
that from Port Royal and the West that Meth

/ had the least idea of placing the army In winter
quarters. but, on the contrary. the military plans
all contemplate regular, systematic and energetic
activity in pushing forward upon the retes as
! prudence and judgment dictate; that Government
had ample funds to supply every liability until
the lst Of February.
The Washington dispatches to the Phladel-

The bids, about hundred in number, for sup
