TO the Courier of this city from the Union and
American of Nashville, dated to day, says that
dispatches from Richmond state that General
Butler, commanding a fleet of one hnnd;ed
guns and four thousand men, arrived at Fort
Hatteras on Tuesday, and opened fire OH the
fort, which was vigorously returned by the
garrison of three hundred men, under the
command of Capt. Barron, formerly of the

soldiers, Paw 10 their Families,

Tho following provision for paying the
wages of volunteers, or such portion of it
as they may desire, directly TO their families,
was made at the extra session of Congress,
in the act authorizing the employment OF
volunteers. One of The most effective things
that the Secretary of War can do to encour-
ago cnlistmcnts, is to put this system in
operation at once and provide for paying
the army regularly and often 80 that the
volunteers may know when they enlist that
their families will have certain provision.
We presume this has already been attended
TO 10y tho War Department; and as the linan-
cial measures for providing for the expens-
cs of the war u success, the volunteers may
regard this provision for their families, and
and its payment directly to them, as certain:
SEc l2. And be il FURTHER enacted, That
the Secretary of War he, and he is hereby
authorized and directed to introduce among
the volunteer forces in the service Of the
United States the system Of allotment ticket
now used in the Navy, or some equivalent
system, by which the family of the volun-
tecr may draw such portions OF his pay as
ho may request.

Tho loyal citzcus of old Wood are alive
TO the Importance of the grand Union move
ment, now sweeping over the country. In
it, and in it alone they seem with one ac-
cord to realize the only hope for the saliva
ton of our glorious republic, and the per-
potuation of the present form Of u free and
enlightened government, From every quar-
ter of the county we hear the most encour-
aging accounts of the progress and popular
ity of the Union Ticket, both State and
county. The candidates are all men in
whom the people have the utmost conf
dence. They are men in whose hands the
interests of the people will be carefully
guarded, and all the duties of the offices for
which they are nominated viii be 10y them
ably and iudiciously performed. The pco-
pie of Wood county are moving in solid
column in favor of Union principles and
Union men. They will not bow down to
the dictation of the secession knights OF
the Golden Circle" nor be led by any other
dark lantern" concern. They will give {
majority for the Union Ticket that will no
only surprise political GROWERS, but asto 1

1t was loose at two points-thc North Car

avenues for smuggling are closed. No more

Important Fact About COnhprO
mi 80.

The Crawford Bulletin, Democratic pa
per in Southern Illinois, makes the following
important disclosures:
1--WE are informed by gentleman just
from the Ninth Congressional District, that
there has been complete revolution among
the people on the war question. Hon. John
a. Logan, Congressman from that District,
has been appointed Colonel, and has his regi-
mont about ready TO take the field. Many
who a few days ago were of the compromise
stamp, are now enthusiastic for the war.--
Logan declares tEat he and other compromis-
ing men in Congress met in secret conclavc,
and determined to make last effort. They
sent May to Richmond TO ascertain if the
COnfcdGratcs would entertain, accept or
offer any compromise. No compromise
could be agreed upon, the rebels utterly re-
fusng, oven though blank sheet Of paper
be given them TO write their own terms.
Logan declares their ntcniention is TO fight
and calls upon all Democrats to rally around
the old flag, and thwart them i'll their dia.
bocal efforts to destroy the Government
This throws light upon an important point
namely: why May, the Baltimore Congress
man, went to Richmond just before the
meeting of the special session of Congress

pariizan feelings, and by our free,
unbiased and united vote, declare
to the world that our system of Gov
ernment will and shall be perpctuat-
ed. Let the watch-word be Union!
Letthe battle-cry be the suppression
of this monster rebellion! xhen
under the banner of our country
shall we march on to victory and

Political.

The Democratic papers of the State, have
with unimportant exceptions, ceased 10
make direct opposition to the war. The
few and venomous followers Of Nallmdig,
ham are the exceptions. But there is ger,
eral effort to make the political campaign
this fall an old fashioned squabhlc, McSsrs
Tod, Stanton, and others of the State Union
Ticket, are asseiled with the msreprosonta
tions usual in such cases. Some old savings
of those gentlemen are roked up, garblcd
distorted by small caps, and used as test.
for absurd editorials. But we observe ne
indications that this style of warfare is like
ly to be profitable.

The Army nt HYn.hfngton.

A correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post writes as follows, under date of
Sept 28d:
The arrival of regimentc from the North
ern States is regular and at about the rate
of three regiments day. If this continues
much longer, the army Of the Potomac will
bc sufficiently large to warrant some new
offensive movements. Everything all along
our lines is now in excellent order. Each
cluster Of Regiments is brigadcd, and
wherever it is possible the brigades are
made MP of single State The men were
never before so well cared for. One hun
dred and fifty head of cattle are slaughtered
daily for the benefit of the soldiers, and the
ovens of the capital daily turn out an i'm
mcnsc amount of the very best bread. II
il fact that the army bread is of n better
quality than that sold 10y our city bakers.
There are fourteen ovens, and to keep them
going there is daily consumption OF twen-
ty-four bushels of potatoes, two hundred
and forty barrels of -four, and fourteen hur-
dred gallons of yeast. The number of
loaves turned ont daily at the ono capital
bakery is over sixty thousand, and there
are immense establishments of the Same
kind the other side of the Potomac. There
is German bakery, where the bread is of
that kind denumnated German" and which
is supposed to accompany lager beer, when
ever the soldier is lucky enough to obtain
it, Good beef and good bread will keep
an army from suffering, bat ours is supplied
with many uxuries. 1t is found in frugal
camps impossible to eat more than half the
rations issued and with good quartermas-
ter large sum of money can be saved to
invest in Injuries. No regiment which has
good officers lacks an abundance Of coffee
tea sugar. molasscs and even butter. A
large number Of the Yankee troops indulge
in the familiar New England dish, apple pie
A prominent New England politician re-
Gently made visit to the camp of one of
the New England regiments, and was treat
ell to a dinner of steak and potatoes, with II
dessert of sugar applo-pic. He was not
expected, and the dinner was impromptu
and more wholesome one he never ate.
The health Of the troops is astonishingly
good, Ono Massachusetts regiment which
entered the district four months ago, has
lost but one man by sickness. a prominent
physician, upon looking over the statistics
of sickness and mortality Of the army, and
comparing them with the same Of the prin
cipal cities says that there has been less
sickness and mortality of the army, thar
the usual average, of course excepting the
casualties of the battlefield
