FROsS WASHINGTON.

WAsHINaToE, Aug. %.
..The InteIligencer has advices, via Kentucky,
that the rebels are preparing to attempt an
invasion Of Maryland and inland offensive
movement on Cheat Mountain Pass.
Twenty-three prisoners were released to.
day, captured at Phillippi. They profess
Union sentiments.
Deserters from the rebel army say all the
enemy's troops have moved up from Rich
mond to Manassas. Much sickness and dis
content exists among the men.
Under the orders of the War Department
the army will soon be completely uniformed
in blue.
Senator Wilson has accepted an appoint
ment of McClellan's staff.
A feeling Of perfect security prevails with
our entire community.
The feints of the COnfederstes on the line
of the Potomac are now better understood,
and military men say that even with the Or
dinary dependence on raw troops they
would desire nothing better than for Gen.
johnson or Beauregard to attempt that part
in the Confederate programme which con-
templates an advance on Washington. 1t is
suspected that the rallying cry is adopted to
sustain the fla ging spirit Of the rebel troops
whose number it is positively known are fast
diminishing by small pox, &c.
No signs of hostility from the enemy di-
rect. Col Ripley Of Ordnance Department
is appointed Brigsdier General.

Cheeae for solaler., RatIons.

For the benefit OF farmers and others IN
terested in the addition of cheese to the ra-
tons Of soldiers, we propose to give brief
review Of the efforts which have been made
70 procure an amendment Of the army regu-
lAtiOns for that purpose. During the early
part Of the late extra session Of Congress,
the attention of the Representative in Con-
gress from this District was called to thissub-
iect and special attention was given Il by the
Farmers Club of Claridon, ,Geauga courtyard
other farmers Of that and Portage counties.
Our member, Mr.. Riddle, examined the sub
iect in all its bearings, and became satisfied
thai no additional legislation cOsld be pro-
cared, nor was any requisite, as the Secretary
Of war was fully authorized by the PrOvis'
Ions of the existing statute to add cheese, or
sny other article Of food, to thepresent rstions.
he therefore prepared memorial to the
Secretary of War, setting forth the facts that
Is an article OF teOi, cheese was cheap,
heslihful and proper that it was desired by
the soldiers and that large portion oi
the country, by reason Of the war, would be
deprived Of market for one of its chiet
staples unless il should be furnished to the
troops. To this he procured the signatures
of most Of his colleagues, as also someOf the
Michigan and New York delegations, and
personally presented it to the Secretary OF
War, who expressed himself favorable tOthe
object of the memorial, promising to have
thenecessary inquiries instituted, ,and, il the re-
suit should prove satisfactory, be would have
the change made. Soon aher this, aresolu-
tion was introduced in the House OF Repre-
sentstives, instructing the Committee on
Military Affairs to inquire into the expeditn-
ey of adding butter to the soldiers ratiOns.
Hon. john Hutchins (of the goth Ohio Dis
trict( secured its amendment so as to include
cheese, and the resolution was adopted. Sub
sequently the Military Committee reported a
bill making some additions to the rations,
bat emitting butter and cheese. Wheh the
bill came up for the action of the House,
Hon. H. G. Blake (of the l4th Ohio DISTRICT
moved to amend by adding butter and cheese.
This he House refused by large majority
TO do, and thus the matter rested.
Whatever objections to adding butter may
EXIST no good reason can be given why
cheese sho7ld not be made a part of the ra.
tens Of our soldiers. It would be well il
cbeese-prOducers, and those having the
hsalth and well being Of our soldiers al
heart, would petition Congress on the sub
ject for it is reform that should bO made,
either by legislation or by the action of the
War Department.

The Terms Of ComprOniss.

There is a party in Ohio which advocates
compromise With the rebels. In the follow
ing, the Mobile Mercury states what sort Of
a compromise these rebels are willing to re-
esiys:
..Re must dictate the terms Of peace, the
irst part of which shall be acknowledgment
Of the right Of secession. This is a funda.
mental principle. The next article should
be that she (the North pay, to the utter
most farthing, the expenses Of this wsr.--
The third IS, that she pay for the destruc-
ton Of all property, both public and private,
which she may appropriate to her own use.
The iourth is that as an evidence of her sin
eerity, she impea and remove from office
Abe Lincoln, indict him and hang him for
treason sud other crimes" a5

adhesion to this cOmPromise--tOr the sake
Of ''Peaee'-but how many Of the People Of
Ohio will agree to itf ~

The Attack by siGcPs Division.
RoLLA Thursday. Aup. Is. ls

RoLLA, Thursday, Aug, Is, 1861.
Capt. Indest of Company A. rifles, which
acted as skirmishers under Sigel, arrived in
town last evening, en- route for st. Louis
The captain was wounded in the upper part
of hisleg by an apparently small sized bullet
which has yet been extracted. he is on
his way to town for medical aid, and is burn
ing to return and be in the next fight. BE
suffers considerable annoyance from the
wound. The Captain relates that SigeFs
force reached the rear of the Secession camp
about dsybreak, in time to hear Lyons first
cannon, and they plunged forward, taking
the enemy completely by surprise. They
moved down the rebels, driving them from
their camp, and what is almost incredible,
had not suffered the loss of "a man after a
sharp fight lasting half an hour Subse-
quently Sigel's cannon moved down two
columns of the enemy, piling them in heaps
The carnsge was dreadful. Onward the Sd
and 5th regiment with two or three pieces,
continued to advance, driving the enemy on
Lyon. Unfortunately they were subjected to
murderous cross fire on the Springfield road,
near prairie, the enemy playing fifteen or
twenty pieces with telling effect on Us. A
perfect hail of grape was poured in upon us.
A shot from their cannon killed five of our
ARTILLERY men and scattered one of our pieces.
We were here about an hour trying to push
back the enemy, and having driven them
about mile and half from the point from
where we first opened fire, concluded to retire.
The captains skirmishers captured fifty
prisoners, thirty horses, and two loaded Wag-
gons loaded with rifles, all of which was
safely brought off. The news of Lyons fall,
and the retire of the force operating under
him to Springfield, was not learned by Sigers
men until the latter were on the
road to the above place, showing how little
is generally known during the heat of battle
among the different corps Of the operations
of the other.

New Movement In Missouri.

A new movement is commenced in Mis-
souri, which promises, when perfected, to
enable the lOyalists to stand alone, and keep
down the rebels without the aid of Federal
bayOnets from abroad. Union men in every
county are to be organized, armed and en-
listed for service within the State, during the
continuance Of the war. The organization
will be systematic and efficient including the
requisite proportion of artillery, cavalry,
sharp-shoeters and pioneers. 1t is already
commenced in St. Louis and several other
counties, and at an early day will embrace
$4,000 men, forming a corps sufficient to
keep the rebels in check, when the regi-
ments which Missouri has already furnished
for the regular service shall leave the State
to accompany the grand army down the
Mississippi.

HUEEA FoR OLD BUTLER.-The gallant

PRO0I NEW YORR.

Nav YoRR, Aug. q.
It seems certain that the private,r Sumter
is still at liberty. A letter dated at Curacao,
Aug. Tth, was received saying that the Sum-
ter had taken two vessels of Laguayra-the
schooner Abbey Bradford and the bark
James Maxwell.
1t appears that the Venezuela Government
acts differently from the authorities here in
Cuaracoa, having refused the Sumter admit
tance, and have despatched vessel seventy
miles north of Lsguayra to retake the Jo-
seph Maxwell which is anchored among those
keys.

The British brig Andover arrived this
morning from Savannah. She reports that
on the I7th inst, off Cape Hatteras she was
boarded from a privateer steamer, but could
not learn her name, there being none on her

two guns, one small pivot and the other
large stationary gun amidships.
They reported having several prizes at

Martial Law.
We publish elsewhere, extracted from the
Daily News a list Of the so-called 'ipeace-
newspapers" in the Northern States. This
Is only another name, Of course, for those
journals which sympsthize at heart with the
South, and are endeavoring to disturb the
action Of the general government in putting
An end TO rebellion. Five of these papers
have been recently mobbed, an indignant
pOpulace cutting their establishments from
top to bottom, in two instances offering Yio-
lence to the editors and setting an example
of destruction which, if followed to any great
extent would lead to anarchy. Yet it is
right that something should be done to pre-
vent the dissemination Of sympathy with
treason in the loyal States, and the constant
propagandism Of discomfort with the war, in
Rh.ch this large portion of the press is en-
gagged. In the Confederate States, not voice
IS raised anywhere in opposition to the in
surrection, nor does any one dare to speak,
much less write, in hostility to the acts of the
rebel leaders. These latter are rapidly ma
turing their plans, and the indications are
that the principal Of their objects is to seize
upon the national capital, and thence divide
the Northern States in sentiment, and induce
an acquiescence in the overthrow OF the con-
stitudon, through the aid Of these very jour
nals, which now pretend to be simply in
tayor of peace. It is, therefore, of the ut
most importance that they should no longer
be permitted to divide our councils, and that
they should in an Efficient manner be pre-
vented from distilling their subtle poison in
the public mind. v-rrry ga
Mob law we are totally opposed to. Every
good citizen must regard it with abhorsence
Under whatever pretext its assistance may be
invoked it establishes a precedent for evil,
which tends to universal disorder, and aims
blow at the very basis upon which society
rests. On the other hand, the secession SYM
pathisers Of the Northern press do not 7io-
late any existing statute. They cannot be
reached under the code, and, in certain
measure, they are protected by the constitu-
ton itself in the mischief they are doing
It is, therefore, incumbent upon the admInis-
tration to proclaim martial law at once -
Just as it has been done nSt. Louis ana Bal
timOSe, let It be put in force here. It will
end an abundant number of subjects to work
upon, and its frst energies should be directed
against our SO called "peace" newspapers.-
Their Offices should be closed, one and all.
II they continue their work of disturbance,
the insurrection may be looked for, sooner or
later, in the Northern States, which Jeffer-
son Davis and his associates have counted on
from the beginning and government viii
only have itself to blame for having neg
iected the precautions that would have pre-
vented it.

We yesterday saw several gentlemen lust
from Tennessee, who have given US informa-
ton as 70 the construction there put upon
the late proclamation of President Davis.
1t Is understood that the Government, in
ordaining those who do not acknowledge
the authority of the Southern Oonfederacy
before the 23d of September shall be treated
ss alien enemies, means that their property
shall be conhscated and they themselves ar
rested and imprisoned.

have in the Southern .Confederaey-the Con-
federscy to which our Secessionists, our
peace men with white flags, are anxious to
