ing expedition, and were suddenly surrounded
and attacked by the rebels, who were com
manded by johnson, a notorious rebel The
home guards made desperate stand, and af.
ter few shots, succeeded in driving the rebels
back, and pursued them some distance, killing
their LIST Lieutenant, and MORALLY wounding
three others. One lieutenant on our side. and
two prlvates, were severely wounded. The
wounded on both sides were brought into the
hospital Of the Illinois thirteenth this morning.
One of the rebel wounded is a deserter from
the company that captured him. He was shot
through the shoulder, and will hardly survive
The lighting was rare instance of pluck on
our side, as the boys had been drilled only
once in the use OF the musket. This proves
that the Missouri boys can be depended on
when they are enlisted on the side of the stars
and stripes. Three more companies have
started out since yesterday morning, but moth
ing definite has been heard from them, except
that Capt Wadsworth, of the thirteenth, had
been reinforced, and was in hot pursuit of a
gang of rebels.

Early In July letter was addressed to
Gen. Scott, by some gentlemen of Boston, ex.
pressing the feelings of the people towards
him. An immediate reply was received by

that such course would be agreeable to Gen
Scott -
BosToN, July s, 1861.
Sir In great issues of human life, in great
opportunities for the exercise OF benefcent
powers, the leading minds of the race usually
occupy Isolated positions. In entire sympa-
thy Mlth the intelligence and the highest as.
pirationsNf the people, unselfishly devoted to
the best welfare OF their fellows, they have A
clearer view of>dangers to be avoided, of OBJ
stacles to be overcSWe, and of thoughtful
ecoSomy which shall pSsvent any waste OF
powers Their movements often seem slow to
the impatieNSe OF excited observers; and the
calm steadiness 2f a quiet mind is >ealled mac
ton the repose ofreal strength, iudofepce.
These reflections have been recalled by ~tJc-
cSsional expressions, in some portion oil the
pubic press, OF a desire for more speedy
movement OF our troops. We do SQt think
that your serenity has been disturbed by such
expressions, but believe that the assurance of
unqualified confidence which your country
men feel in your prudence, patriotism. and
wisdom, viii not be uuweconie. They re-
gard your large study and experience in mill
tary affairs as one Of the most important in
struments IN their great work they value
your untirng industry and devotion to the du-
ties OF your command as an earnest of sue
cess they commit to your guidance the lives
of those dear to them, S1ith perfect trust that
whilst stainless couIAge will do and dare eve
rythng, no blood will be needlessly shed.
They know that the love of ruth, honor
and fidelity to duty recognize no limitation of
climate or locality of residence, and that the
brightest stars in all history have ever been
loyal to God and their country.

THE OLD MEN OUT-The Sterling com.
pany, which Joined in the escort yesterday,
was composed in great part of elderly citizens,
farmers and others, who carried guns and
swords of an ancient pattern. The snare
drummer was over seventy years old, but he
and his comrades seemed fired with the enthu-
siastic patriotism of youth. They made a
very favorable impression. They visited
Camp Scott, and were subsequently escorted
to the station by the Clinton company of the
fifteenth regiment. Good for patriotic Sterling.

The Boston Courier has for some weeks,
perhaps months, assumed patriotic attitude,
and given an apparently cordial support to the
government in its suppression of the southern
rebellion, and has striven, with more fidelity
and common sense than before the election of
Mr.. Lincoln, TO uphold the Union, the consti.
tuition, and the laws.
Such traightforwardness or such patriot
ism were not native to, and could not long be
expected from that sheet. 1t already shivers
in the first ill-wind. The Manassas defeat
which has re aroused this city and the whole
north to put forth its long, strong, and steady
tug of strength and has renewed its sinews Of
war,-frightens the Courier from its transitory
fidelity to the good cause, and drives it into its
old ruts OF captious, piddling criticism, down
which it will soon run into the rampant trea-
son OF the Journal OF Commerce aud The News.
Ii has begun one of its never-ending series
of articles, destined, doubtless, to last longer
than the war,--to prove that the south can
never be conquered, and that if conquered tue
Union can never be preserved. II noble old
Massachusetts does not spew the Courier from
its mouth, New York can afford to stomach its
fellows here. But let it chop short IFS palaver
and its quibblilg, and come to its fore ordain-
ed conclusion without further ado. Life is
short, and Lunt is long.-Ne,c York World,

1T CANNOT END WELL,

Great crimes cannot lead to good results.
"punishment is lame but it comes" The
law which regulates the connection between
crime and its consequences may at times seem
to work slowly, but it is as sure as the throne
of God, "The mill OF God grindS late, but it
grinds to powder" says the old Greek prov
erb. If this were not so, malignant and treach-
erous wickedness might be just as sure OF
happy destiny as the noblest fidelity to truth
and Justice. Falshood would be wiser than
truth, treachery better than manly honor, and
the blacklist unbelief more consistent than
faith.
Therefore, the laws that regulate human
affairs cannot allow the treason of the JET.
Davis "confederates" TO turn out well for
themselves. Their treason is one of the great
est public crimes ever heard of below the sun.
1t is not one of those crimes made by despotic
laws, which win the sympathy OF civilized
men by an honest appeal to natural justice,
but such unmitisated wickedness in itself, in
its motives, spirit, and whole character, that
the laws themselves would be criminal if they

most severity. Without provocation and with
out grievance, but for reasons Of the basest
and most selfish character, they seek to destroy
the best government on earth, government
OF which they themselves have less reason to
complain than any other men in the country.
In pure selfishness and malice, they inaugurate
civil war and destroy the peace and prosper
ity of the millions of our people. They have
the audacity to say openly that they will rule
the country or ruin it.
Nothing can be worse than their purpose un.
less it be the means by which they have sought
to make it prosper. First, a carefully prepared
and widely extended conspiracy organized by
men holding foremost positions in the govern
ment they were plotting to destroy, cabinet
ministers, senators, members of congress, min
listers u foreign governments; and every
movement of these conspirators directed by
the foulest treachery. Along with tins the
meanest and most astounding system of lying
even Barnwell Rhett repeated in public speech
es that Mr.. Hamlin was "a mulatto" nominal
ed for the vice presidency "to insult the south,
and the lies told by JEFF. Davis and his sub
bordinates, in messages and procamations,
would exceed belief, if we did not know
what stupendous falsehoods they have
uttered. The truth honestly told and
believed throughout the southern states
would atupce annibaate the secession move,
ments, and overwieim its leaders in the most
hopeless ruin. Ii the leaders of secession,
with all their civil and military agents, could
be induced to go about in the southern com
munties and tell the truth about the free
states. the republican party, and the ac.
ual relations of the federal government to
the southern people, civil war would become
impossible, the armies would be disbanded,
