PADUoAH, November %, 1861.
EDIToR5 JOURNAL: last wrote you
there has been nothing occurred of note
until to-day. 1t was announced in camp
this morning that the American Flag was
to be raised to-day over the house of noted
secessionist in this city. About 4 O'Clock
P. NJ, some of our gallant boys ventured
down with the Stars and Stripes to place
the san IN de- : pie wher
mistress asket. -.on c General
Smith, which was led. General Smith
replied to her in words which amounted to
this, that he considered tho carrying into
effect of such q design, as disgraceful and
insulting. This rather melted than quelled
the determination of the boys, so they re-
ported the result to General Wallace, who
repaired to Gen. Smiths quarters. After
dress parade, Gen. Wallace went with his
gallant 18th to carry into execution the de-
signs of the soldiers. The procession was
headed by the bearer OF the flag, followed
by the Band, aud directly after came the
whole regiment, making one grand display.
The march was short and speedy, amid the
many cheers of the regiment
When their intentions were made known
to the inmates of the dwelling, the proprie-
tor of the house came out upon the pOrtico
of his mnch insulted mansion, and said il
was rather disgracefnl and insulting to
plant the banner over his, mansion in pre-
ference to others, making an example of |
him.. Adjutant Macauley replied that it |
was no disgrace, but rather an honor. The |
oct T,a
sent, and the banner was placed on the |
mansion, while the 18th gave three cheers |
and tiger Immediately afterward, down |
the street in double quick, came Captain |
BuelPs Chicago Light Artillery. armed with |
pixies, shoyels, spades, crow bars, axes and |
many other implements, also another flag, |
but it was retained for some future occa- /
sion. The boys were in frenzy of excite
ment. After the ceremony was performed, |
General Wallace elevated himself upon the |
fence and said: "Boys, the flag is floating /
now; 60 to your quarters boys, you have |
done your duty, now 60 back The masses
of soldiers then started for camp, whore a
little difficulty sprung up between some of
the officers of our regiment and General
Smith aids, in relation to tho planting the
flag on The house, which caused much in
dignation among our officers. But it ended
not here The gallant Missouri 9th, hear
ing of the circumstance, started up town
with fire engine, and but for Gen. Wal
lace's influence, they would have washed
out Gen. Smiths quarters. The 9th Mis-
souri, was headed by its officers. One of the
cavalry regiments that were quartered near
by remarked that if that flag came down,
the house would come down with it.
Thus ended the affair for the present

HUTTONVII.LE. Va, Nov. Is,

HUTToNvILLE, Va, Nov. Is.
DEAR JoURNAL:-It is now some six
weeks since wrote, as l thought you must
have been entirely overrun with ''Camp
Correspondence" particularly as there is SO
much sGmeness, and nothing new to write
about. The only change with US since We
left Camp Elk Water is that we have dress
parade every day, and as the regiment is
we'll dressed now, it is really sfdress parade
While we were at Elk Water, the whole
regiment was always on very severe duty
building Qualifications, digging trenches and
diminishing, occupying all hands and all the
time, so that we never had but one dress
parade for tao months. There is no question
about the 14th, Col. Kimball, and the 18th,
Col. Wagner, having done the most severe
work, and skirmishing was the only amuse-
ment they had as "interlude" to building
Notifications, and these amusements occur
red very often.
We are still occupying tents, having as
yet received no orders to build winter quar-
ters. We have had wonderful health for
the time of year. Had several frosts, but
really no cold weather. | do not remember
when have seen winter SO far advanced
without moro cold weather.
Col. Owen is lost to US By his promo
ton. We were all sorry to leave him, but his
place is niled By MAJ. vTUUu, promoted, who
is very much liked and respected by the
whole regiment. | believe We have the
best set Of officers that can be found in the
service, taken all round. Col. Wagner has
proved himself to be the 'iright man in the
right place." and he is all right in fight
every occasion he has had proving himself
so. In the Green Briar battle the men all
say he was just as cool as if he was going
to breakfast. When he has been away from
camp for few days, which has occurred
several times, the frat thing he does when
he returns ia to visit the hospital. On the
last occasion, we had been to Beverly for
two or three days. No sooner had be dis
mounted than he started for the hospital,
and as he passed our quarters be called me
on business; keeping along side of him,
soon found myself in the hospital with him.
He went into every room and to every man,
kindly putting bis hand on their feverish
heads, or shaking hands with them. 1 was
SO much pleased at his kindness and atten-
ton that determined to record It. Colonel
Wagner is a whole-souled, big-hearted man,
anxious to see his men contented, and will
ing to share their hardships; and | rather
think it is not good plan for an officer out
of any other regiment to reprimand or order
one of our Oolonels men about too severely,
as he might not like the consequences, for
Col. w. is very watchfnl of their welfare
and rights.
Our Quartermaster, s. f. Fry, has made
me magnificent present of SLIDER C0rnet.
1t is being made in Boston, and | will have
it in few days. g. w. w.

ARRIVAL OF THE 44TH REemENT.-The
44th Regiment, Col Reed, from TT. Wayne,
arrived at IL o'clock yesterday morning,
having been thirteen hours coming from
Indianapolis. Three trains conveyed the
troops and baggage. They disembarked
from the cars, and about IL o'clock march
ed to the market house, where bountiful
dinner had been provided by our citizens.
The regiment numbers LOAF men, and is
made up, for the most part, of able bodied
and soldieriy looking volunteers. They
have not yet had sufficient time to perfect
themselves in military drill. The 44th will
be transferred to Kentucky In few days,
and win form part of Gen. Orittenden's
command. The boys all inquired eagerly
as to the prospect of a fight across the river,
and seemed to be anxious to find the seeesh.
Of whom they have heard SO much

THE E. 6 @. R. Rive had occasion res
Gently to make a flying visit to Terre Hante
over this road, and were favorably i'm
pressed with the gentlemanly politeness OF
all those connected in any way with the
management of the train, from Conductor
Bloom to the train boy. There is none of
that naughty reserve SO noticeable in the
employees of sailroads. All seemed to
have but one thought, how to make the
passengers comfortable, and make the nat
ural tedium Of a railroad ride pass off pleas
antly. The men who were connected with
the road in its infancy are there yet, which
goes far to favor the supposition that they
are competent. Long may they wave"

Bag We are requested by Col. Owen to
return his sincere thanks to the citizens of
Evansville for the liberal manner in which
they have subscribed means for the purpose
of erecting barracks for his regiment
The amount already received is over $500.
This action on the part of our business men
will secure the presence of Col. Ovens
regiment for the winter. Those already re-
cruited and in camp at Indianapolis will be
down next week. We wish our friends in
the country TO bear in mind that the head
quarters of the Goth Regiment-after next
week-will be in the city. Those wishing
to volunteer will have an opportunity of
joining regiment Differed by competent
and deserving gentl emen.

REfIatary Items.

REsIaNATIoN.-We understand that Lieut..
John d. CLARK, quartermaster of the gath
(HoVey's regiment has resigned, on account
of ill-health. and that John j. Palmer, of
Vincennes, has been appointed to the va
cancy.
Il is creditably reported that Brig. Gen,
ID. e. Sickles has adopted the opinions of
Colonel John Coehrane, upon the use to be
made Of slaves In prosecuting the war.
IHDIAxA AND OHIo.-Indiana has in Ken
lucky nineteen regiments of infantry, three
companies Of artillery, and Ohio has sent
there sixteen regiments.

seems has to do with in Missouri The

Of the enemy
The force employed Mt tho Philadelphia
Navy Yard is about 1880 men, and they
are rattling off the work at a high rate of
speed.
The Charleston Courier says that few
days ago "many beautiful damsels appeared
in the streets of that city in war homespun,'
and trusts the example will be followed,
and if the ladies knew how much pleasure
it afforded to the volunteers and to all good
citizens, it would to generally and univer-
sally followed.
General Fremont has written to some
of bis friends to say that he expects to be
in New York ia the course of few days,
and movement is on foot on the part Of
some Of the German citizens to give him a
public reception, which will probably take
the form OF mass meeting, with torch
light procession, 60, &c. A preliminary
meeting to make arrangements was held on
Wednesday evening.
GoVerOr Morton was yesterday presented
with fine horse and saddle and bride to
correspond. For the information of the
curious about such things we win say the
present did not come from a political friend
or IN army contractor. Ind. Jour. Taesdoy
Mr.. John jacob Astor, Of New York, has
joined the staff of Major General Mcclellan,
with the commission of Lieutenant Colonel.
Ar. Astor is the representative of thirty
millions of property, with an income of two
millions per annum. He has been from
the beginning ono of the most active and
efficient executive members of the Union
Defence Committee of New York, and has
given his time, knowledge and money
and for tho suppression of the rebellion.
Those foreigners who doubt whether our
best men have much interest in the Union,
have very satisfactory reply in this action
of Mr.. Astor.
The New York Times of late date con-
tains the following statement of the patri-
otto action of an Indiana lady, now a resi-
dent Of that city:
Mrs, J. F, D. Lanier, of this city, has
forwarded by express two boxes containing
donation of clothing to Col Conard |
Bakers lst Indiana Cavalry, NOW in Mis-
souri,, to be distributed to the most needy. |
The donation consists of the following |
articles, viz: One hundred and fourteen |
pairs flannel drawers, six flannel shirts,
eleven wooden knit under-shirts, eleven |
pairs blankets, twelve comforters, thick /
and warm, sixteen pairs best homemade
socks, forty two linen towels.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH THE ARMY.-
A proposition will undoubtedly be recon-
mended to, and [ think passed, by the next
Congress, to abolish the distinctions between
the regulars and the volunteers IN The army,
and to solidify the whole mass ia one body.
1t is estimated that there are not more than
three thousand genuine regulars in tho army
at this time, and if the Commissioned and
on-commissioned regular officers could be
put at the head of the different regiments,
battalions, and companies, we should soon

that there is fine opportunity presented
at the night seasion.of BEHM's OoMMERCIAL

thus be pleasantly and proftably spent in
obtaining practical business education,

s@- We publish this morning q letter
from Paaucah, which indicates that our
troops at that point are insnbordinate, and
inclined to disregard Gen. Smiths anthori-
ty. We can hardly believe that Gen, Wal
laco was guilty of urging his men to the
commission of an net, which, whether pre-
per or not. was diaapproved of by General
Smith. The latter officer will doubtless
place under arrest the subordinates who in
cited this rebellious spirit in the camp. The
5th Missouri will have cause to congratu-
late itself upon the fact that their scheme TO
" wash out" Gen. Smiths headquarters
miscarried- Such proceedings will not be
tolerated, aud we are very much mistaken
II Gen Smith does not make aa example
of some of the ringleaders in this late dis
tuTbance.
