the following speculation the subject:-"There is
every 70 believe that the United States sloopof

Had the Levant simply been disabled she could have
reached there islands under jury nasts, the boa
could have got here. The conclusion forces itself
that she met with disaster Il has proved fatal 10 the
ship and all on board.

around us. Our men keep their camp, anu
only on urgent representations can OBTAIN
leave to be absent from it, and then only
for short time The health of the men Is
generally good, and our hospital accommo-
dations and attendants are prime. we
have but one case that can be considered
dangerous, and he, at the instigation OF sew
eral st. Louis ladies, has been removed to
the St. Louis Hospital, of which they have
tbs superintendent. Our officers are very
attentive, and spare no pains, that our COM

rough it out with US in camp. Our Colo

active, and no regiment has kinder or

we have no fears that we shall be neglected

ANOTHER OUTRAGE-Two UNION MEN
SHoT-ONE KILLED INsTAETLY.-By gem
tleman who arrived last evening from
Washington, No., we learn that party of
Union men was yesterday fred upon, and
two of them killed, by some ambushed
scoundrels near the city of Union. The at
tackled party lately formed portion of Cap
tain Maupin's company of Home Guards,
and had just been mustered out of service
at Franklin. They passed Monday night at
Washington, and in the morning started for
their homes in Union. When near that
place, unarmed and unsuspecting, they were
suddenly assaulted as above stated. One OF
them died almost Immediately, and another
was mortally wounded.
1t is devoutly to be trusted that the mis-
creant dastards engsged in the preparation
of this and similar outrages, will be prompt
ly arrested, tried by court martial, and
summarily punished as their enormous
atrocities deserve.-aissouri Democrat.

wHAr NEW YoRK HAS DoNn.-Althougt

WHAT NEW York HAS DoNH.-Although
the Empire State has not done so well in
proportion to her population and resources
in putting troops into the field as our own,
few persons are aware how many she has
actually sent the defense of the q MON. The
State of New York has now Eve regiments
enlisted for three years; thrty-eight for two
years. of her State militia; ts0enty indie
pendent regiments for three years, and one
cavalry regiment--in all sixty-four Tegi-
ments. OF these, forty-six regiments are
now located in Washington and vicinity,
six at Fortress Monroe, three at Baltimore,
one at Fort Pickens, and the remainder are
still in camp in New York. A knowledge
of the number Of men furnished by the En-
pre- State will also furnish slight concep-
ton of the immensely of the army which is
now congregated in the vicinity of Wash
ington and Immediately under the control
Of Gen. Mcclellan. Beauregard will soon
find plenty of employ ment to prevent his
troops from becoming restless.

GooD.-The editor of the Lafayette AT
gus, having published a paragraph to the
effect that the Government designed paying
the volunteers in scrip which was likely to
become as worthless as that paid our revo-
lutionary fathers, was met on the street by
a Captain of ore of the companies recruit
ing in that city, aud pummeled almost to
Jelly. The Captain traced the loss OF sew
eral recruits directly to the article in the
Argus, and took satisfaction out OF the ed
tor as above.

Col. De AHNA.-Ths accusation against
this officer was, that at 10 o'clock in the
evening he attempted to force his way vio-
olently past the senlnels posted at the en-
trance of the Headq uarters of Major Gen.
Fremont, in spite of their efforts to restrain
him and in defiance of their representation
of orders forbidding him. To their expos

A squad OF $50 Greensboro Secession
ists announced their determination to pass
through those places on their way to join
the rebel army in Tennessee. The Home
Guards were manifesting disposition to
prevent any display of the kind, and as
thew are composed of resolute Union men,
and are thoroughly armed and equipped,
fight was anticipated. We are prepared to

their minds that the Secessionists shall not
pass through their villages, as an organized
band of rebels, that they will not pass
through.

A HoT PLACE.-During the bombardment
of Fort Hatteras, Gen. Butler counted, with
his glass, % shells falling inside of eight
minutes within the fort. The rebels were
unable to work their guns, and took refuge
in the magazine, which they regarded as
bomb proof This was so crowded that
several tainted. The CONSERVATION became
so great when they saw a she'll penetrate the
roof Of the magazine, that the officers had
no further control over the men, and imme-
diateIy hoisted the white flag.

Jolly Jack tars have had an opportunity to

"Our men are great on march. AL
though we all left camp together at 10
o'clock, when we halted to water at 4, the
twelfth Massachusetts was nowhere to be
seen-were nearly an hour behind. We
waited for them until Ambercrombie got out
of patience, and when they came struggling
up he said: Col. Webster, why don't you
march your men along they are struggling

Hackleman does, for these Hoosiers are run
ming right away from you He after
wards said that these Hoosiers could out
eat, out fight, and out march, any soldiers
in the army He is very fond of his rag
ged regiment. When we first came here,
these fancy Yankees made a great deal
of sport of the ragged Hoosiers, as they
called US. 1t made our boys mad, and it
was hard work to keep them from resenting
the insults thrown out at them. Our Gen.
eral particularly complimented as on bat
talon drill, and said we could beat them
all. The tables are completely turned, and
our boys are doing up the laughing, and
hold in utter contempt those who reviled
them in consequence of their appearance. "
The ridicule of ragged regiment
which has been applied to the 18th regi-
ment will attach to them no longer. They
have, by this lime, received new clothing,
and are enabled to make a respectable APP
pearance.
