CamerOn's Plain Taik at sBrInGaeid.

When Secretary Cameron was ct Spring
field, Mass, q few days ago, q very large
number Of the citizens called upon the
Secretary at the hotel, desirous to obtain
his views upon questions connected with
the prosecution Of the war. While he spoke
to them very freely and frankly, he wished
them to understand distinctly that in what
he said be merely expressed his own per-
sOnal opinions, and that as Simon Cam
eron, he had no eonoealments to make.
he would say to them that he intended, so
far as laid in his power, to prosecute this
var with ell the sigOr and power Of the
nation. He believed that We had at the
head Of cur army young General of great
sbility, and one in whom the people could
repOse confidence. He could not speak Of
what Gen. Mcclellan proposed to do, as his
business as Secretary Of war was to fur
nish men and munitions, and to trust the
disposition Of the troops to the General in
command.
Mr.. Cameron spoke Of the cause Of the
war, and said that every body understood
what had produced it; it was the disoOrd-
ant element Of Slavery. In regard 10 that
institution, he believed that the end of the
war would be the end of Slavery, unless
the rebels returnedto to their duties and their
loyalty.
me Secretary, in the course Of the con-
versstion, further remarked that in fitting
out the expedition which had 50 recently
sailed for the South, he had directed that
an extra quantity Of guns should accom-
pany the forces, and that the commander
should place these arms in the hands Of
ANY MEE who might offer to use them. He
had no doubt that plenty Of men would be
found, even in South Carolina, who would
be willing to fight for the cause Of freedom
and the preservation of the Union. In
this belief he sDould see that any other erPedi-
Ton that might hereafter 60 South should take
sufficient arms to enable those s0ho desired to
fgLt to take the field in aid Of the Union
cause
The views Of the Secretary we're received
with the greatest qualification, enhanced
by the frsnkness, readiness and courtesy
with which he responded to the many in
quiriss Of those who sought his opinion.
The war and the Government we're vastly
strengthened in the heart of Massachusetts,
By Simon CsmerOn's free talk with the
people of Springfield.

Fasting and Prayer.

Religious people throughout the loyal
States will be glad TO see the following
Proclamation by the President:
WHEREAS, A joint committee Of boil
Houses of Congress has waited on til,
President of the United States and re
quested him to recommend day Of Pub
lie Humiliation, Prayer and Fasting, to be
observed by the people Of the United
States with religious solemnities, and the
offering fervent applications to Almighty
God for the safety and welfare Of those
States, His blessing on their arms, and ;
speedy restoration of peace;
And whereas, 1t is fitting and becoming
in all people at all times to acknowledge
and revera the Supreme Government o
God, to bow in humble submission to his
chastisements, to confess and deplore theil
sins and transgressions in the full conviction
that the fear Of the Lord is the beginning
Of wisdom, and to pray with all terveney
and contrtion for the pardon Of their past
offences, and for a blessing upon their pres
ent and prospective action;
And whereas, When our beloved coun-
try, once, by the blessing Of God. united,
prosperous and happy, is now afflicted With
faction and civil war, it is peculiarly tit for
us to recognize the hand of God IN this
visitation, and in sorrwful remembrance Of
our own faults and crimes as a nation and
as individuals, to humble ourselves before
Him, and to pray for His mercy--to pray
that we may be spared furtherpunishment,
thrgh justly deserved; that our arms
may be blessed and made effectual for the
re-estabIishment of law, order, and peace
throughout our country, and that the ines
Unable boon Of civil and religious liberty,
earned under His guidance and blessing, by
the labors and suferings Of our fathers,
may be restored in all its original excel
lence.
Therefore, 1 Abraham Lincoln, Presi-
dent of the United States, do appoint the
last Thursday IN September neSt as day
Of Humiliation, Prayer and Fasting for all
the people Of the Nation, and do earnestly
recommend to all the people, and especially
to all Ministers and teachers of religion o.
all denominations, and to all heads Of fam
ilies-to observe and keep that day aceol-
ding to their several creeds and modes OF
worship in all humility, aud with all relig-
ious solemnity. to the end that the united
prayer of the Nation may ascend to the
Throne of Grace, and bring down plentiful
blessings upon our own country.
In testimony whereof | have hereuntC
set nv hand and caused the great seal o
the United States to be affixed this l2tI
day Of August A. D. 1861, and Of the In
dependence of the United States Of Ameri
ca the eighty-sixth.
BY the President:
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Daniel :. Dickinson.

This gentleman whose democracy has so
long been approved and whose leadership
in his prrty has been 50 weighty, defined
his position lately at Wyoming, Ia
Among other things he said:
"But since the sword had been I'M
sheathed, only traitors and towards would
dare talk of compromising with armed re-
beIlion. We cannot sustain the Union by
compromising with treason. The issue had
been chosen, and let hose that take the
sword perish by the sword"
Referring to Mr.. Lincoln's alleged usur-
pations, about which the "peace men,
raise such howl. he said he was not quite
sure that Jeff. Davis q Co. had quite con-
formed to the Constitution. He said:
II know not whether Mr.. Lincoln has
observed the Constitution; indeed, for the
purpose of resisting tic rebellion, care
not Il is due to him to say, however,
that he has seemed to be in good faith at
tempting to put down the rebellion He
has not done all things as | would have
done them, because would have multi
piled his men by about four, and where he
has struck one blow / would have struck
adozen. Laughter and cheering. There
fore ! do not agree with him in that re-
spect When the day comes we can have
a settlement with him, for he Is to be held
with all other officers to a strict account
But l would not do even that under the
smoke of an enemy's guns.
In reference to the suspension of the
writ Of habeas corpus he said:
"If l had possession of traitor, and
no other remedy would arrest treachery, |
would suspend the writ, and the indiyid-
ual, too"
Mr.. Dickinson utterly secuted the idea
of putting down the rebellion by any other
means than by the strong arm.

Our Army at wa.nlngton.

The defenses over tie Potomac, which
commanded the approaches to Washington
before the battle 70 Bull Run, have been
materially strengthened since that disaster.
They can now repeI protected and heavy
bombardment, and the enemy that shall
attempt to carry them by assault will bill
their ample bitches with the mangled bod
les of bis troops. In addition to the
strengthening of these works, heavy en-
trenchments are about being constructed on
this side of the riser, in the rear OF the city.
These are not going to be erected as neces-
sary to the safety Of the Capital, but only
to allow ofits being defended by a much
smaller number of troops that would other
wise be required, thus enabling General
Mcclellan to use 10000 men for other pur-
poses than the protection of Washington.
The number Of troops in bis army is dai-
ly increasing. 1t is becoming esq ecially
strong in field artillery, the favorite arm Of
the new commander. | venture to say that
the spectator of the next battle on this side
of the Blue Ridge, will listen to the roar Of
more light batteries than ever scattered
death over any field, Of Leipsic, Borodino,
and Solferino. Cavalry, too. is coming IN
by companies aud squadrons, SO that, in
another engagement, we shall not be def
cient in this arm as we we're before Manas-
sas.
A sojourner might remain here week,
and hardly be cognizant of these facts.
The SECRECY, the quiet, the simplicity, which
attend the arrival and movement of troops
under the rule Of Mcclellan, contrasts strik-
ingly with the ostentation, clangor, and pomp
that marked the reign Of Mcdowell. In
deed, but for the comparatively few officers
and privates whom you meet hurrying
along the streets with a business-like ali and
gait, and the dashing orderlies through the
avenues, and the fitting by of ambulances
and hospital carriages, and the heavy rum
BILE of interminable lines of baggage wagons,
one could hardly be made to believe that
be was in the neighborhood of the camps
of an army that will soon muster one hum
dred thousand strong.

The Direct Tax.

The Crawford County Courier, hitherto
paper of extreme luminosity to the adj
ministration and all its acts, but which at
last yielded and continues to yield reluc-
tant support to the war measures which
both national parties devised, now exhibits
fairness which deserves respect. The
editor thus speaks Of the wal tax:
A great deal is being said in the papers
of all the northwestern States in regard to
the unfair or unequal proportion Of the Di-
rect Tax which these States are obliged to
pay. The people Of Illinois are among
the loudest in denouncing the manner OF
levying the tax We cannot see the use
Of AL this outcry, for if it was necessary tc
raise standing army, it is equally neces-
sary to raise means for its subsistence; and
the only constitutional way to do this is by
the Direct Tax as now apportioned. Some
journals try to make political vehicle oil
this circumstance. They show up the fact
that the Western States are obliged to pay,
in some instances, four times as much as
old and wealthy manufacturing States, and
attribute all the fault to a Republican Con
gress. But Congress had no discretion IN
this matter; the Constitution prescnbes
hon the tax shall be levied, and for once
Congress was guided by it. But as the
tax is manifestIy unfair, there IS plenty Of
time before the first assessment is made FOL
Congress TO rectify the whole matter; and
we believe it will be done.
We regret that the Courier, in the same
number, uses the following untrue and I'M
warranted language;
an this State, the Republican press stig-
matise Douglas men as traitors"

Direct from Georgia.

By a gentleman who left Savannah, Ca,
las. Wednesday we learn that the most
deplorablc state Of affairs exists in that sec
ton. A reign Of terror, worse than that Of
the French revolution, hangs over the peo-
pie, like sable pal. Spies and iulcrmers
have but to indicate an individual against
whom they have personal hate, and the
secret clubs forthwith ostracise or hang
him.
A poor German against whom one Of
the Golden Circle had spite was informed
against for selling bottle Of whiskey to
negro, and he was ordered to leave in IL
hours. Not obeying he was seized and
hung in front Of the Pulaski House, in the
presence Of two thousand spectators, on
Tuesday last.
BRUSH subjects are impressed into tho
rebel service. Forced leyies are made up
on them, and British Consuls are not re-
cognized, rs they are accredited to the
United States. The reign Of terror is SUI
preme.
Our informant is an Englishman, and
reached this city, via Nashville, last even
ing Chicago Journal.

The REBEL Sick AND WoUNDED.-We
have reliable Information that on Tuesday
there were two thousand rebels sick and
wounded, at Culpepper Court House, one
thousand i've hundred at Warrenton, and
large numbers at all the farm houses for a
distance of thirty or forty miles in every
direction from these places. A prolific
cause of this great amount Of sickness is the
bad water used by the troops in and around
Manassas Junction and Bull Pun. Much
of it has to be brought great distance,
ard is not suitable for drinking purposes
when it reaches the troops. In many Of
the farm houses in all this neighborhood,
we are informed that from ten 10 twenty
wounded and sick men are cared for

Crittenden's Amendment.


Mr.. Crittenden has improved since the
day in which he went about making com
promises. He now goes for making war.
AT speech at Columbus lately, he Said Of
1.-The war:
Eve must meet it like men, X is not
a war that is 10 be prosecuted for the sake
of war, and ought to be conducted with
none Of the common barbarities ofwar. 1t
must nevertheless, be prosecuted by no hail
way measures. My friends, we must gath
er the utmost strength oft country. and
grid up the energies Of our minds IN this
momentous contest. And let it be prose
lcuted only for the purpose that il ought 10
be carried on, and concluded for the resto-
ration ofour government and the Union.
=
1t becomes, therefore, duty to main
tain this government and tbs magnificent
land from the terrible calamity Of disunion.
This would aim by all The powers of my
life to prevent Hence it is that | lave
just come from voting millions Of money
and HUNDREDS Of thousand of men; and in
order that the issue may be decided more
speedily and our erring brethren united 10
us once more. For, fellow citizens, / be-
lieve we shall be reunited. And have
confidence in the belief that, instead Of des-
troying or even weakening us, this war will
make our Union stronger than ever be-
fore"
These are the latest and best of Mr. Crit
tenders amendments.

KENTUCKY. - The Louisville (Rebe)
Courier says Gov. Magofin will not be
impeached and displaced by the Kentucky
Legislature, because the Unionists have not
the requisite two-thirds in the Senate =
The Senate is composed of thirty-eight
members, of whom nineteen are held over
members. OF these, eleven are secession
lists and eight Unionists. Of the Senators
Just elected, three are secessionists and six
teen Unionists. The Union majority is
therefore only tea-two short Of the requi-
site two-thirds.

Judge IIubbelIs Speech.

At the meeting lately held at Milwaukee
TO express the regrets Of the citizens Of
that city for the death of Gen. Lyon,
Judge Hubbell, known as a rigid democrat,
said:
eve should fight the enemy with all
the weapons we can bring to bear upon
them, the same as they do to us. When
we get chance to deprive them Of their
slaves we should do so, and should make
the rebels pay any incidental expenses that
our army may be put to in their attempts
to uphold the constitution in the rebelIious
states. Their negroes we should never
th nix Of returning while they are at
war with us. They claim the return Of
such slaves as a constitutional right, and
yet they are in rebellion against the con
stituticn"
The Judge followed out this idea very
clearly and forcibly, showing to the salts
faction of all presen. that it is perfect
humbug to return fugitive slaves to thosC
states that are in rebellion.
