was seen, a few days since, to nail board
to tree, and write upon it, in large chalk
letters, the following suggestive sentence
There was time when men without brains died

The St. Louis Republican is our authority
for this, and no paper in the North west
has done more to send poor brainless men

bss- The capture Of Lexington falls like
an avalanche of ice upon the Northern
heart. Billy Mulligan, the California bull
ly, had boosted of his abilityto hold the
place against any odds, but it was not proof
against skin and bravery, and is. now, with
its stolen money and Accumulated muni-
tons, in the hands of the Confederates.-
The loss, to the Yankees, is very heavy
not in men, for they are Of little account,
but in dollars and cons.

beA. Gen. Grant, at Paducah, has been
superseded by Gen. Smith. BY the close
of the war there will be ten thousand Gen
erals in the North, provided they are as
swift of foot as Soigel proved to be at
Springfield; otherwise the number may be
diminished by our well-aimed rifles, Will
not Gen. Johnston take advantage of this
change of commanders to strike telling
blow?

is intended as means of retreat when the
Confederates drive the Hessians out of Pa

From The Richmond EramIner. Sent. &C.

We have intelligence Of highly important move
ments in Western Virginia and Of the action Of our
Government In taking instant and vigorous meas
ures to try the conclusions Of the campaign.
The report already given in the Examiner to
the effect that Gen. Lee has gone to join General
Floyd, is fully confirmed by additional dispatches.
Accounts yesterday received report his arrival at
Floyd's camp, ut Meadow Bluff
The army in the Northwest remained under the
command of Gen. Loring.
Reiniorcensnts 10 the amount Of sixty-four COM
panies have been sent to Floyd's chmmand. They
comprise four virginia regiments, Georgia regi-
ment a Mississippi regiment and a battalion of
Louisiana volunteers, composed Of four companies.
The considerable portion Of this large. force has
already reached Foyd's camp. Two regiments
will leave this ty tomorrow TO reinforce our army
in the West
Wises command has been ordered TO LewisbuFg.
We learn apart from any official publication OF
the Government, that Gen. Wise has been ordered
to reportat Richmond The reasons or circumstances
which have induced this order are matter of con-
lecture, although It is supposed that Gen. Wise is
to be tranferrcd to another command.
The present movements are understood TO be in
dcative Of unusual vigor and concentration in the
prosecution of the campaign. The next news from
the West will be awaited with impotence.
