He sent Gen. Smith With 1000 men towards LewIns-
Vile, west Of the Potomac. When within half a
mile Of the town, six cannon were put IN position.

forces waited till 3 p. NJ, when the rebels appeared,

Our froors then entered the town, captured Two
officers, and three privates, and brought away ~
wagon-loads Of forage Of the best quality.
Munson's Hill has been taken possession Of by our
troops. the Rebels having abandoned that and other
positions on Friday night. For weeks, Aunson :
Hill, and other positions near by, where the enemy
were posted, have been the subject Of porten'ous and
conflicting kilograms. These positions were III sight
Of the Federal Capitol, and directly in front OF our
army. But all these positions, bristilng with TeOeI
cannon and myriads Of men, are now in the pos

proof positive Of their weakness, and that their

severely upon Col Robert F. Smith Of the 18th
Illinois, commandant at st. Joseph, for an IL
legged lack Of energy in crushing the rebellion
in those parts, gentleman furnishes yindi-
cation Of the Colonel, IS follows:
"There is now at St. Joseph when all to-

WHY N0T ARBrERATBa

We notice that few Of the less impor-
tant Of the Eastern journals assume that in
OUT difficulty with Great Britain, the medi-
alton Of q third or friendly power is not to
10 be tolcrated or thonght Of. That, we
trust, is not the sentiment Of any consider
able number Of our people, nor of the Coy
ernment at Washington At any ratef it
is not the opinion Of the Vest Hereaway
our people win insist that, if the case is
submitted to arbitration, it shall be decided
according to the Law which the English
courts have made, and the precedents
which the English Government has estab-
lished! Either this, or IN agreement to
submit the fact Of the seizure Of the rebel
ambassadors, together with the interna-
tiona1 maritime code, to q Congress Of the
maritime powers, to dca1..with all as they
please, would be satisfactory to the West,
as far Us ne know or can Judge Of its
wishes in the matter.

Padncah Cor. Of the New York Times.l
From number Of refugees which I hare
met With at this place, ! have gathered inter
esting information concerning the fortihca-
tions OF the rebels on the Tennessee and Cum
hcr1und rivers. The only fortifcatinn on the
Henry, situated near the line Of Kentucky and
Tennessee on the east bank Of the stream. It
stands IN the river bottom, about the high
water mark, Just below bend in the river,
and at the head Of q straight stretch Of
about two miles,. It therefore commands
the river for that distanco down stream,
and vcry little else. The hnd around it is
little higher than the fort, mud portion Of 1t
is covered with heayy timber. On the oppo-
site side Of the river are three hills command
the fort consists Of eight 80 Founders, four IL
Founders, and two 6-poundcrE. The 50 and
12,pounders are heavy guns, and the 6-pound
ers light pieces. My informant left Fort Hen
n on Thursday, the 12th inst, at which time
large lot Of intrcnchiDg tools had Just been
brought tbithcr to be used in fortifying the
bills on the opposite side Of the river.
On these new Notifications it was intended
to mount three very large guns, 124ponnders,
and some rife cannon. An Irish regiment ut
the fort were relied upon to perform much Of
the work in prospect, but in addition to this
force some four hundred slavcs were daily ex-
pectcd from North Alabama The garrison Of
the fort, under Gen Lloyd Tnghrnan, consists
Of Col Adolphns Heimanfs Irish regiment
| and regiment Of Mississippians, beside the
| artlllerists.
| Some eight or ten steamboats, are on the
| waters Of the Tennessee, between Fort Henry
/ and the Muscle Shoals. 4 small steamer plies
| regu1arly between the fort and the railroad
crossing, some eighteen miles above. At
| Clifton, further up on the same river, a gun
boat is reported fitting out, and have heard
it rumored that as many is three in all were
| being prepared on the waters Of the Tenues-
see. The Memphis, Gainesville and Louis
vile Railroad crosses the Tennessee, as above
Indicated, eighteen miles above Fort Henry,
on splendid railroad bridge, with draw fol
the passage of steamers.
AT Dover, about q dny's march from Fort
Henry (wcstwa1d, } is the principal fortifca.
tion on the Cumberland, below C}a9kesvi}le.

grounds reas the river, and, Il 30, must be

We learn from the New York Eyening Ebst,
Of Saturday, fact which will be Of peculiar
interest to the Methodists Of the West, inas-
much as it is elimination Of feeling which
has been shared By few members Of almost
every Methodist congregation in the country.
The Rst says:
The first service OF the " Conference Of the
independent Methodist Churches in the Uni

and clerical, were in attendance, represent

Of Brooklyn, WAS chosen President; ke7.

James NJ. Cobnrn, Of New York, Treasurer.
Two young men were ordained to the minis
try, and arrangements were made for starting

It is none Of our business, but Egypt Is
quite disgusted with certain conduct Of Nj
chael z. La~ler, Of the 18th regiment, at
Cairo, and demands his resignation on the
alternative of dIsorganized command. The
Carbondale Times and correspondent OF the
Cairo Gazette take up the cudgels against him
In labored articles. As we understand it, Col.
Law1er forced his election originally under
false pretences; offended the regiment by ap-
pointing John Olney Quarteruaster; also by
the appointing ola Catholic priest to be chap
lain, while not one in ten OF hundred we're
Catholics; got his Lieutenant Colonel and
Major into scrape and caused their removal; );
arbitrarily appointed his son-in-1aw Captain
over company who had not chosen him;
also, appointed another stranger Captain over
company who had rejected him. The Car
bonda1e Times says:
The Colonel has lost the respect Of his men,
whose comforts, wants and wishes he In return
defpisee. His numerous arbitrary acts have won
hjIh the hate Of all, and his most common appc1a-
tion among his command is aOld Tub Of Cuts.
Serious charges hare been preferred against him,
brt the ofjnst1ce appear closed, for yet no
attention has been paid to the charges.

The Irish Element Rampant.

The prospect Of & war with Eug1and has
walked up the Irish element pretty thorough
II. Public meetings in Dublin have dared
the British Lion to "come on;' and in this
country the movement has already begun for
an organization Of the Irish against the time
when there will be an opportunity to strike.
The Philadelphia Inquirer speaks Of secret
order IN that city, called the "Ancient Order
of Hibernians," which issued an address, from
which We quote:
Arise! men Of ireland, throw of the
shackles Of the tyrant, buckle on your gi1dcd
armor, like the Spaztans Of old, and redeem
the pledge Of your origin. Remember the
battle Of Aangrahm, the bloody plaius Of Clon-'
also the dying aspiration Of Robert Emmet,
Ircland's Patriot Martyr, encircled with the
dazzling memories Of the past, in all their
mixed pride and horror. The present neces-
sity Of the hour, and the bright hopes Of an
approaching future, cannot full to inspire You

Justice to your natiEe and adopted country
demands it. Justice to your God, to your
selves and to humanity demands it. Justice

Arouse you, spaItans Of the Ancient Order,
and embrace the golden opportunity which God
intended and humanity desired; behold the
glimmering light Of liberty, as it breaks

for such an event, it is the duty Of Ill organi
