RooKPoRr, July 10, 1861.
EDITORS JOURNAL: Last Tuesday, Capt
Woods company, of this place, bid adieu
to weeping friends, aud, as you are already
aware, are now located in Camp Wander
burgh. 1t is a company of which old Spen-
Ger is justly proud, being composed of her
best citizens. beautiful flag was present
ed to them by Miss Emma Yates, of our
town, who, as she presented it, addressed
the soldiers in patriotic address, the words
of which, as they came warm from the ruby
lips and swelling up from the pure heart
of the fair donor, fell like sweet music on
the ears of her audience. Arrayed in the
National colors, with a blue apron from
which flashed forth the light of thirty-four
stars, she was a fit representative of the
beauty and loneliness Of our National Union
in the days of its purity, and as it will
again appear when restored to more than
its pristine glory.
Rev. Mr.. Walker, the presiding Elder, {by
| the way he has son who is second Lieu
tenant in Capt. Jones' company of this
district, then gave the boys some parting
advice, winding up by telling them to trust
in God and be sure and keep their powder
dry. The boys gave him three rousing
cheers as an assurance that they would
do so.
As the other companies from this county
had been grossly insulted going bJ Owens
boro, the boys went prepared to take care
of themselves, and avowed determination
=
to disturb their feelings, the secession bullies
evidently preferiug to keep out of the way
when they thought there was any danger.
Next Tuesday our cavalry company leave
here for your city and as your correspou-
| dent is humble member of it, this is prob
ably the last letter from Rockport.

upon Kentucky, the feeling wac everywhere
expressed that we must prepare to take our
part in this drama of blood. While we may
congratulate ourselves upon the fact that
our Indiana regiments, comprising our rela-
tives and neighbors, were not among the
victims yesterday, yet we mingle our tears
with the thousands of moufners in New
York, New Jersey, and New England. How
many homes this day are desolate ). how
many hearts were broken yesterday, as the
news of defeat spread through the East
Such thoughts as these, entering into the
discussions OF, yesterday, had a tendency to
deepen the gloom, and lead many to realize,
for the first time, the horrors of war.
Nowhere did we see, yesterday, the least
dependency as to the final result of this
contest. If the army of the Potomac has
been defeated, it must be replaced. The
citizens of Evansville, who, under the bless
ings conferred by this Government, have
acquired whatever they possess, are willing
to lay it all, yea and their lives also, upon
the altar of their country. With many,
yesterday, the predominant feeling was re-
venge. We saw the knit brows and fash
ing eyes of those who declared, that
this must be wiped out in blood, and that
they were ready to go at once, and either
plant our flag in triumph upon the batter
les at Richmond, OF die defending it.
Amid all these different expressions of feel
ing, upon the receipt of the news, the pre-
dominant one was grief. The loss of life
the loss Of prestige-and the retreat of ouI
men-fil,ed every one with grief and as
| constituent.

EDITORS JOURNAL: Thinking that lit
tie "reading matter" such as tracts, papers,
&C., would be acceptable to the soldiers, we
recently visited the camp in company with
a gentleman, and distributed a quantity
among them. We were everywhere polite
ly welcomed, treated with civility, aud our
small favors were thankfully received.
Among the officers, Sergeant Major
Klinck and Capt. Morrison manifested much
courtesy. We were urgently invited to re-
new our visit, with like favors, and we
found among the soldiers a number who
said they were members of different
churches and that they had in camp Sab
bath School. At our request choir of
young men sang the "Star Spangled Ban
ner," and several other popular songs.
Let no one entertain the impression that
soldiers and offiss'. iaore rude, uncouth,
or uncivil than men ; the truth is,
that our soldiers, a. Ell as officers, are of
the &c First Fanatics Of Indiana )" and we
are of the opinion that the " First Families
of Virginia F" will not stand in comparison
with them long In the hospital we found
one Hhu very SICK duu H6IpiGSSi VINO u6edS
some near friends by his side to give him
special attention. Soldiers deserve the
warmest gratitude of all classes of citizens,
and we are assured they will rightly appre-
ciate every act of kindness. Absent from
home, without cord of sympathy extend
ing from the citizens to the camp, we fancy
they must at times feel lonely and detected.
They have left all the sanctites and en-
dearmentS that cluster in the domestic cir
Gle, to hazard their lives, to Sight the formi-
dable enemy, and with their stalwart arms
and sturdy endurance to shield as and our
much cherished Government from destruc-
ton.
All honor to the heroic soldier, and al
| though it may not be advisable for young
ladies, as in past ages of chivalry, to go
among the ranks, and enliven their courage
with kisses, before engaging in battle, yet
they ought to be assured that we duly APP
preciate their patriotic valor. E. E.

There are cards being circulated in this
city, and elsewhere, signed by Cox and
Humphreys, stating that the steamer Po-
land is the regular packet in the place of

.faLsehood, with an intention to commit a
fraud upon the public. The steamer Lin
den is the packet in the place of the Star
Grey Eagle, chartered and differed by the
officers of the Star Grey Eagle, and the at
tempt on the part of the Poland, or her

large armies and the actual suppression of
civil authority, by the declaration of martial
law, some of them at least would Joyiully
unite with us. That they are almost with
entire pnanimity opposed to the prosecution
of the war waged against US, the daily re-
curing events fully warrant the assertion.
The President of the United States refuses
to recognize in these our late sister States
the right of RETAINING from an attack on
US, and justifies his refusal by the assertion
that the States have no other power than
that reserved to them in the Union by the
Constitution, no one of them having been
State out of the Union. This new con-
stitutional relation between the States and
general Government is a fitting refutation
to another assertion of the message that
the executive possesses the power OF sus-
pending the Habeas Corpus, delegating that
power to military commanders at discretion,
and both of these propositions claim a re-
spect equal to that which is felt for the
additional statement in the same paper that
it is the Presidents duty to execute the
laws. We may well rejoice that we have
forever severed our connection with gov
ment that tramples on all principles of
constitutional liberty, and with people
in whose presence such avowals could be
hazarded.
The operations in the field will be great
lily extended by reason of the policy which
heretofore was secretly entertained, but now
| avowed and acted upon by the United
| States. The forces hitherto raised aave
proved ample for the defense of the seven
States which originally organized the Con-
| federacy. With the exception of those for
! tilted Islands where the defence is efficiently
aided by preponderating naval force, the
enemy has been completely driven out OF
those States. Now, at the expiration of five
months from the formation Of the Govern
ment, bat single hostile foot presses their
soil. The force, however, must necessarily
prove inadequate to repel the invasion OF
/ half a million of men now proposed to be
raised by our enemies.

The intensest excitement reigned through
out the city yesterday. After the three
o'clock edition of the Journal, business was
suspended, and men gathered in knots upon
street corners and elsewhere, discussing the
thrilling intelligence of the hour A deep
gloom seemed to have settled upon the com
munity, and the disappointment and cha
grin Of our army in Washington, was shared
by all. We saw strong men weep, as they
read of the carnage in the ranks of the
Grand Army, and we told the tale of disas-
ter to many who could not keep back their
tears, at the thought of their temporary de-
feat. But the effect of this intelligence on
Union men was most gratifying The de-
termination was expressed by all, that from
this hour they were ready to obey any call
made upon them. The existence of the
Government is at stake, and if the men be-
hind the Arlington Entertainments are de-
feated, others will rise up TO take their
places. We are cast down, but not dis
mayed" overtbrown, but not destroyed.
