know that In many private residence in
this city these demonstrations are applaud
ed, and the defeat of our army celebrated
with ecstatic saturnalias. Thess parties
are not alone hostile to all free govern
ment, not merely the infuriated fees of the
United States, but they are inflated with
the belief that the war commenced upon
the authority of the Government will close
in their complete triumph. When the
Federal power is fully restored at this
point, and when the majesty of the law
can no longer be insulted with impunity,
it will be the first duty Of the President
and Of Gen Mcclellan to rect out all Gov
ert and overt treason from every commu-
nifty over which the flag of our country is
permitted to float, beginning with Wash

GEN. PILoW's CHAIN CABLE.-Pre-
vious to Gen. Pillow being superseded by
Bishop Polk, no went to New Orleans and
procured a huge chain cable, casting him
$25, 900, and brought it to Memphis to
blockade the rive, by stretching it over
and resting it upon buoys! The cable,
carriage and work cost about $50, 0O0.-
The first big tide that came, bringing
down the usual amount of trees, logs, and
drift-wood, swept his cable and its sup
porters, as any fatboat captain would
have informed the Confederate authorities
would certainly be the case.
This is no idle tale, but a sober reality,

that the blockade at the mouth of the Mis-

conduct Of officers Of seme of our vessels
there. He says there is no difficulty in
avei ing the blockade that the rebels
know perfectly well what vessels can be
passed in safety and that the officers hav-

are very lenient towards them and have a

Colonel Baker on Army Ratious

During the debate in the United States
Senate on Tuesday, on the question of in
creasing the army rations, Senator Baker,
of Oregon, Colonel of tie California regi-
ment), made the following statements:
'Now, I have but another word of ex-
PLANTATION. You take regular soldiers, en-
listed from their necessities, as you know
they generally are, put them in garrison,
let them have time to take care Of them
selves, hold them down to a rigid disc-
pline, compel them to do it, and they can
live on it; and, am told, once in while
they save little sugar, little coffee, and
few candles but you take volunteers or
regular troops, and put them in the field
or on the march with that ration, and they
suffer, The last words said this morning
in nay camp, as | left it just now, were
words of rebuke, which my heart did not
prompt me to utter, to man who said -
Colonel, I have but two biscuits left of
my provisions for yesterday and to-day.
| and | am really suffering
81 will add one other word, if l NAV be
allowed to do so, to show the necessity for
! this increase Of ration. Take the example
Of my little command. We were eneamp-
ed the other day outside of Fortress Mon
roe, at Hampton. We were ordered at
three o'clock to move to Washington. We
obeyed orders and came. The next order
is to cock three days rations. What does
1t mean? 1t means to cook q little meat.
You can do nothing else, because they
crowd thousand men on the boat, and to
cook is impossible. | cook the three days
ratiOns, have the hard bread, and the
fat, salt meat, boil it, and put 1t in the ha-
versack. I am sixty hours on the way
without chance to get cup of coffee,
with one single exception. The meat
spoils after being carried three days in a
mans haversack. On the merning of the
same day he cannot eat it. He loses that,
and it is not made up to him in any way,
and be has not enough to eat. That hap
pens all the time in the field It happen
ed with our army the other day. They
took three days provisions. No wonder
they were hungry, They carried salt
meat in their hayersacks, and it spoiled in
the hot sum-
Now, sir, am persuaded that even
the little addition l have proposed, whioh
is certainly net in value mere than two
and half cents day, will produce Gem
fort and content in our volunteer army
and with this statement of facts, I do not
think | appeal to the Senate in vain to
ask them to reject this report until it can
be re-oongidered on that point
