! GENERAL HARYEY BELIEVED LoYAL.-A
correspondent of the Springfield Republican, wri-
| ting from st. Louis June l3, remarks
General Harvey is still here. What he is to do
is unknown. | can learn nearly nothing of his say
ings and doings. There is still some speculation
to the circumstances attending his removal Some
say he very mad at being superseded-others
that be glad, and that it done at his
quest Certainly he acquiesces gracefully, and his
| loyalty has not been disturbed by the act. Ii is
conceded by both Secessonists and Union men that
| the Government acted wisely in giving the COM
mand to General Lyon. The reason, however, is
not laid to any dsloyalty on the part of Gen. Har-
new. He was peculiarly envirored by conflicting
him deeply interested in the welfare of Missouri
His long residence here had made him acquainted
with every body, but his social and political svm-
pathies had led him to associate more intimately
with certain of our prominent and wealthy men,
who, if they did not sympahze fully with seces-
sion, were at least opposed to the war, and wanted
Missouri to be let alone, and wait events. They
were particularly opposed to the 'HOme Guard
business. With these men, General Harvey had
been terms of utmost intimacy. For years he
had drank mint.juleps with them. The moment he
returned. they surrounded him with terrible rep
resentations about these Dutch Home Guards,
and demanded of him their disbasdment which it is
said he promised. he approached Captain Lyon
and Frank Blair on the subject. They expostuat-
ed with him, disabused his mind to the charac-
ter of the men organized, and showed him the
thority by which the men were enrolled in the
special service Hence, in lis first proclamation,
he announced that he found that he had no author
ity to change the situation of the Home Guard
This conveyed such an intmatiOn that be would
have disbanded them if he could, that the Union
lists became distrustiul of him. At the arsenal he
was firm as a rock, and all right He would go up
town these aforesaid old friends would surround
hm,-the id Dutch would destroy the peace of
the city-the searching of trains, and steamboats,
and teams. coming to and going from the city
caused unnecessary irritation &c, &c. The Gen
rnl has
lie seemed to be in doubt whether or not these
remedies not doing more hurt than the dis
ease left to itself. He obviously did not believe
in any earnest attempt to take the State out of the
Union"
THE STRENGTH OF VIRGINIA.-We copy the follow
ing from the New York Herald of Yesterday
We learn by intelligence from Richmond, that
troops from the States further South continued to
arrive in that city. 1t appears fourteen regiments
have arrived there recently, making 80, 900 in all
at that point, all well armed, some of them with
European muskets, and well commanded either by
w est Point graduates or men who have been stu
dents in the Southern military academies. We are
also informed that in addition to the intrench
ments eight miles northwest of Richmond, the city
is to be defended from attack the western side
by works at still greater distance in pursuance of
surveys just made by military engineers. The
survey does not extend beyond the Blue Ridge, for
it is calculated bv General Beauregard that the
disposition of the Confederate forces along the Ma
nassas Gap Railroad, and particularly southwest of
Strasburg as far as Harrisonburg twenty miles
from Stsunton, and in the counties of Shenandoah
ana Rockingham, will protect Manassas Junction
ana kchmond from any attack from the west. 1t
Is stated, however, that the bulk of McClelland's
lorce is coming up the Kanawha from the Ohio, in
severa pl, ooats, and will menace Manassas junction
and Rlchmond. in the rear IL is probably to guard
against tnis tnat Ex-Governor Wise is posted with
All this does not look very like an attack on
Washington. Yet there appears to be alarm at
| that city Our dispatches inform us thar the War
| Departm is of opinion that the rehs, forco in
Virginia is stronger than ours and better com
manded and that our wsest military leaders enter-
tain small hopes of victory, in battle is nra-
cpitated before the Federal army is reinforced 1t
is estimated that $50, 900 men will be required
an opinion shared by the President and General
| Scott Mr.. Lincoln, in his message to Congress,
which be is now preparing, will not call for new
| loan but propose to issue Treasury notes to the
amount of $500 OOO, 900 or $500, 900, ,OOO ranging
from $40 upwards. This appeal to the people is on
the plan of Louis Napoleon, and is resorted to on
account of symptoms of revolt in " all street. The
President will openly avow his reasons for disre-
| gardipg the requirements of the Constitution, and
| will call on Congress to endorse his acts.
