The militia are being mustered In to day, and
many Of them came to 1t with considerable re-
luctance. There are some who have no ardent
sympathy for the cause They will fight for the
South, of course, If obliged to fight, but they
have the feeling that if 1t had not been for South

for fighting. Many others can badly spare the

TIE PRESIDENT.

We learn that the President will not leave
the Capital this summer, his health and vigor
not requiring him to recruit by any temporary
withdrawal from the cares Of Office. His ap.
pearance indicates great elasticity, although his
devotion to public affairs has been intense.
No President, indeed, has had thrown upon
him such On overwhelming load of responsi.
bility.
So long as he remains in charge Of the helm,
the country will feel safe. The public conf
dence iu him, from bis first speech at Indianapo
lis upon the present crisis, down to the present
time, has increased daily. None Of the feuds
and chickering's Of cliques in respect to mem
bers of the Cabinet, have involved him Ia their
range, wide as it has been, Of elimination and
recriminaton. His directness simplicity, and
unaffected kindness, have conciliatcd every
body, while his selfreliant energy has given
that unity to the course Of public affairs which
commands respect and confidence.

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM THE SEC.
RETARY OF WAR.

The Secretary of War has addressed letter
to Major General Butler, dated the eighth in
Stant, en- the important question Of the proper
disposition to be made Of fugitives from States
IN InsArrection against the Federal Govern
ment.
The Secretary Flys it is the desire of the
President that all existing rights in all the
States be fully respected and maintained The
war now prosecuted on the part Of the Federal
Government is war for the Union, and for
the preservation OF all constitutional rights
Of States, aud the citizens Of the States in
the Union. Hence no question can arise as to
lugitives from service within the States and
Territories in which the authority of the Union
is fully acknowledged. The ordinary forms
ofJIdical proceeding, which must be respected
by the military and civil authorities alike, will
suffice for the enforcement ot legal claims
But iu States wholly or partially under insur
rectionary control, where the laws Of the United
States are 30 far opposed and resisted, tina
they cannot be efectually enforced, 1t ia OBJ
vious that rights dependent on the execution
Of these laws must temporarily fail aud

FINDING OUT SCoTT's PLANs.--The Rockville
Wing of August Sd has the following startling
items:
AkDdndrid, July 27. 1t Ia ascertained that
the Southerners had accurate information Of
the Federal movement. the withdrawal from
Fairfax being part of their plan to ambuscade
the Federalists.
We take the above dispatch from the Nash
vile linton, secession Journal. The day on
which II bears date, July 27,) three distin-
gushed secessionists, from Mississippi and Ten
nessee, and one Of them In command of reri.
ment paid us visit, aud had free and full
conversation with u.s. lasting for more than one
hour. In the course Of that oonvorsation, the
gentleman from Mississippi stated to us that
they had accurate information of the plans and
purposes of the Federal army, aud that the Con-
iederate Government had acquired that knowl.
edge at u cost Of 100000! This statement was
made in conf lent tone. and by gentleman
whom we endorse as reliable man. If II be so,
and We give 1t credit there must be treachery
in tho Federal army. Who Is the traitor?

10 or the late riot at the Grand Junction,
near Memphis, OF which VIC have already copied
q brief account, the Memphis appeal gives the
following particulars:
"a regiment of Louisiana volunteers had
arrived at that place, commanded by Col.
Soulakowski, on their way to Virginia. About
six o'clock in the evening, after imbibing pretty
freely of 'bust head row was commenced
between the Frank Guards and some of the
other companies, which resulted in O general
fiaht of about one hours duration, during which
Major York and The Colonel, aided by some Of
| the other officers, used every peaceable means
TO auell the riot, but all to no avail. II seemed
| to be growing general, when some of the men
took shelter in the Percy Hotel, the doors ol
which were Immediately assailed with tho butts
of muskets, axes, and whatever else could be
found to answer the purpose of battering ram
They soon succeeded in emashiDg In all the
doo,s, blinds and sash, when they rushed in
like mob OF infuriated devils, and commenced
an indiscriminate destruction OF the hotel fur
,.iture aud everything they could lay theiI
hands on. Drawers were tnrn open, the con
tents were destroyed, the furniture was broken
| and pitched ont, the dining table was thrown
over, and all the table furniture broken, the
chairs smashed to pieces, and such general
wreck you have never witnessed in civilized
community.
About this time the efforts of the officers o
the day aud the guard proving unavailing K
qucll the mob, the officers, led by the colonel
commenced firing on them, which resulted ID
the death of two upon the SPOT, and the morally
woundng of some five or six Others, and som'
six more dangerously wounded. There wer,
fourteen killed and seriously wounded, besides
q number Of others that left on the trains las
night that were slightly wounded. The ma
jority of the wounds were from pistol shots
some were bayonet wounds and broken heads
from the dubbed muskets men not having
any ammunition.
THE hotel looks this morning like hospita
alter hard fought battle. The dead ant
wounded are strewn all over the second floor
and the groans of the suffering are terrible.
After destroying the furniture and break
ing all that they could about the house, two
unsuccessful attempts were made to fire It,"

From the N. Y. Tribune of Friday evening. Z
The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Chase,
arrived In town to day, at about IL O'Clock,
and after short consultation with Mr.. Barney
and Mr.. Cisco, met hastily called meeting Of
about twenty bsnk officers and moneyed men
at the Bank of Commerce to advise with them
upon the subject OF Government finances, and
especially upon the best method Of sustaining
tho circulation Of the five, ten and twenty
dollar demand Treasury notes which he is ali-
| thorized to issue. There was u rumor that the
banks agreed to place $4,000, 600 to the credit
of the Secretary, to he drawn as wanted, but
we believe that although the best feeling to
meet the wi.hes Of the Government prevailed,
no decision was arrived at, the matter being
ferred 10 tho full meeting Of bank officers,
capitalists, &c called to meet Mr.. Chase this
evening at the homo of Mr.. Cisco, In Fifth
avenue. 1t is believed that our banks will
agree without hesitation to receive and pay
out over their counters and we believe at the
Clearing House, demand Treasury notes as
currency, which will enable the Secretary TO
keep afoat large amount. II Is also believed
that the banks will subscribe freely to the 7.30
per cent Treasury notes, with the undertaking
that considerable portion Of the proceeds will
not be drawn at present, or In other words,
the Secretary, like any other dealer with the
banks, must keep u good balance. As Mr..
Chase Is restricted by the loan to pay for his
Treasury notes and per cent. stock, and the
market will not take them 10 any quantities At
par, some such extra compensation must be
yielded to buyers We have no doubt our
patriotic bank managers will meet Mr. Chase
in truly liberal spirit and that he will be
successful in his mission. IL this war fails, the
bills receivable of our banks will be worthless
paper, and their true policy forces them to
maintain the Government TO the utmost extent
Mr.. Lincoln, Treasurer at Boston, and
Messrs Franklin Haven, Sam'l Hooper, and
WIN. Gray, Presidents of Boston banks, are In
town to meet Mr.. Chase.

Arrest Of an Adju'ant General Of
Arn.v

HCbGl Army.
While promenading on Fourth street yester-
day forenoon, Colonel J. V. Guthrie, of The first
Kentucky regiment, saw e gentlemen whom he
thought be recognized as Colonel Tyler, late Of
the United States army, but now an Adjutant
General in the rebel army. So strongly was
he impressed with this idea that he turned and
followed. Presentlyhe met Captain Dickerson
and upon consultation they were both satisfied
that Colonel Guthrie was right In his surmise
Thereupon Colonel Guthrie approached Colo,
mel Tyler, and claimed him Us q prisoner Of war
Tyler appeared to be somewhat amazed, but
confessed his name aud rank in Beauregard's q
army, and said that travelling Us citizen
and without arms, he did not anticipate ar
rest"
Colonel Guthrie delivered his prisoner io
Captain Mclean, Assistant Adjutant General
OF this department, who conveyed him to the
Newport Barracks, and telegraphed TO General
Scott for further Instructions.
Col. Tyler asked to be placed on parole, but
Capt McDoan refused to grant the request I'M
til he heard from headquarters.
Col. Tyler came to this city yesterday mo, II
ing for the ostensible purpose of visiting his
wife, who has been boar ling in the city all sum

DR.. J. J. B. Wright, Of this city. 1t is also re
ported thatshe tslegraphed to her husband, bott
at Louisville and Nashville, not to come on, as
it was dangerous. But it aeems that neither o

class of 1S4S, and served in the cavalry service

This is one OF the most mysterious perform

News from the South.

We conversed yesterday with gentleman
direct from tho infected district of Tennessee,
and ascertained from him come facts in relation
TO the true condition of things in Secessia. Our
informant left Randolph, Tennessee, about a
week ago, under pretence of going to Missouri
to join the rebel army. He represents most
dcplorable state Of affairs in Memphis and Nash
ville-a want of employment among all classes
but the military and want of food among a
great many. Merchants and business men arc
becoming heartily tired of the war, and do moi
hesitate to say to the military chieftains that
they musl whip the North very soon, or else
give up the idea. Planters, too, are less enthu
siastic In the Davis cause, and grumbles both
loud and deep are uttered at the slowness with
which 1t progresses The removal of the block
ade will be demanded by the Southern Govern
ment before long-so our informant says.
We were somewhat amused at hearing yer
bal statement Of the account which the Tennes
sceans received OF the battle at Bull Run. The
Federal loss was In no case put at less than
5000 killed, 10000 wounded, and about as
many taken prisoners, while the Contederates
were reported 10 have come out OF the iigh
with but few hundred missing.
The reign Of terror exists to frightiul eX
tent In Tennessee, and men are hung every day
for the expression of sentiments that do not tai
precisely with the Ideas Of the secessionists.
