General Orders. No. N.

The following General Orders have been
issued in reference to the battle of Spring
field:
HEADQUARTERS WESTERN DEPARTING, /
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. Is, 1861.
/. The official reports of the command
ing officers of the forces engaged in the
battle near Springfield, Mo-, having been
received, the Major General commanding
announces to the troops embraced in his
command, with pride and the highest COM
mendation, the extraordinary services to
their country and flag, rendered by the Di-
vision of the brave and lamented General
Lyon.
For thus nobly battling for the honor OF
their flag, he now publicly desires to eX-
press to the officers and soldiers his cordial
thanks, and commends their conduct as an
example to their comrades wherever en-
gagged against the enemies of the Union.
Opposed by overwhelming masses OF the
enemy, in a numerical superiority of up
wards of twenty-thousand against four
thousand three hundred, or nearly i've
to one, the successes of our troops were
nevertheless sufficiently marked to give to
| their exploits the moral effect of victory.
2. The General Commanding laments, in
sympathy with the country, the loss OF the
indomitable General Nathaniel Lyon. His
fame cannot be better eulogized than in
these words from the official report of his
gallant successor, Major Sturgis, U. S. Cav
airy "Thus galIantly fell as true soldier
as ever drew aswOrd a man, whose hon
esty of purpose was proverbial; noble pa
| triot, and one who held his life as nothing
when. his country demanded it of him. -
Let all emulate his prowess and undying
devotion to duty.
8. The regiments and corps engaged in
this battle will be permitted to have
springfield emblazoned on their colors
as distinguished memorial of their serVi-
ces to the nation.
T. The names of the officers and soldiers
mentioned in the official reports as most dis
tinguished for important services and mark
ed galIantry, will be communicated to the
War Department for the consideration of the
government.
5. This order will be read at the head o.
every company in this Department.
By order of Major General Fremont.

NEW SHERIFF.-Mr. George Wolflin, who
assumed the duties of his Office on Wednes-
day last, seems determined to make good
beginning. The first thing he did was to
secure the services of a most excellent dep
uty, Mr.. ROBERT FARLEY, one of the best
accountants in the city, and who will prove
invaluable in keeping things straight in the
Office. The new Sheriff then turned his at
was in most shocking condition, overrun
with filth and vermin, and gave it thor
ough cleansing. We trust our new officers
will continue as they have begun, and show
the people how accommodating and efficient
public officers can be, to those who select
them, when they have the disposition.

A Barefaced Lie.

The Indianapolis Sentinel of Wednesday,.
says that the Cincinnati Commercial endors-
es the speech of John G. Davis, made re-
Gently at Franklin, Indiana, as the most
eloquent, truthful and patriotic speech which
has yet been delivered upon the great issues
Davis in regard to the imbecility and cor
ruption of the Administration coincide pre-
cisely with those taken by the Commercial"
Now in order to show our readers how
far fronl the truth the Sentinel can wander,
and how tremendous falsehood its editor
can devise, we copy what the Commercial
did say about J ohm G.. Davis.
The Indianapolis Sentinel of yesterday
publishes a speech delivered by John G. Da-
Wis, a few days since, in johnson Co., Indi-
ana. We believe it will be conceded by all
readers of this speech. that Davis is the
meanest, and grossest, and most shameless
har in the country. There does not appear
to be single paragraph of his speech that
is not saturated with lies of the most reek-
less character-lies that he knew were lies,
and that he knew all intelligent men knew
were lies. Most of his lies are so indecent
and malignant, that the best way to refute
them would be by horsewhip on the scoun-
drePs back. Here is a specimen:
"With what face can Republicans claim
to be par excellence friends of the flag p
What was their flag2 and what was their
motto in 1862 Sixteen stars only were
then upon their banner, and " No Union
with shareholders" was inscribed upon it.
We were then "Union-savers they, as
now, were the secessionists. if 1 wanted a
secession flag, 1 would go and buy it of a
Republican, who carried it in 49,"
We do not know that the Republicans
claim to be par ercelLence friends of the flag
of our country. They would be glad to see
all their countrymen equally its friends.
They certainly desire no monopoly of 10y
atty to the flag or the Government. When
Davis said the Republicans, in 1856, car
ried o banner with sixteen stars and q
motto "No Union with Shareholders" he
/ knew he was a liar. He never saw such q
| flag in his life, unless he had one made fol
/ his own base uses. 1t was not so long age
! as 1856 that Davis was counting an ALI
ance with the Republicans, and was actually
| elected to Congress by them. He has beer
upon all sides of all questions, has for some
| years been distinguished as personally tht
/ mesnest man in Indiana, except Jesse D
Bright; has been especially remarkable fol
| unfaithfulness to his friends, and is now
con sistently the enemy of his country
| Every honest man should be armed with ;
lash to scourge such a scoundrel NAKED
/ through several worlds.

Hon JOHN LAW AT New LONDON Our
esteemed Representative in Congress, has
been spending a few weeks in New Lon
don, his native town. The following we
clip from late number of the New London
Star:
A PLEASANT INTERvIEw.-Hon. John
Law, native Of this city, and now Repre-
sentative in Congress from the First Con-
gressional District of Indiana, called upon
US this morning. He was born in New
London in 1897, and removed to Vincennes
in 1917. 1t is singular coincidence that
the grandfather of Mr. Law was member
of Congress in IVA under the old Confed-
Grafton, and that his father, Lyman Law,
represented this District in Congress from
1910 to 1916. We doubt whether a SINH
lar instance of this character has happened,
that grandfather, father, and son, have all
held seats in Congress at times when the
country was engaged in war. John Ad-
ans, John Quincy Adams and Charles F.
Adams were all members of Congress, but
not at war periods in our history.

HON. T. a. R. NELSON, OF TENNESSEE
This man, who for months stood by the
side of Senator Johnsonii in East Tennessee,
warning against the Southern Confederacy,
has, since his arrest and detention in Rich
mond, completely recanted all his former
opfaions, and is now advising his friends to
submit to the dictatorial DEGREES of Cover
nor Harris. 1t is said that every man has
his price. How much the rebels paid for
Nelson, will never be known, but he has
sold himself out, bag and baggage, and he
is now ready to do any dirty work the Con-
fsderacy may order him to undertake.

North CRoLINA AND THE UNIoN.-A spe-
cial correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune states that at the election on the 9Th
inst, members of the National Congress
were certainly elected from four districts in
North Carolina, aud possibly from the en-
tire State. The Tribune withholds the
names of the gentlemen elected from rea-
sons of prudence, but thinks they may be
relied on to be present in Washington at
the opening of the regular session, in De-
cember next. The correspondent, who has
visited almost every part of the State, and
has ample means of becoming acquainted
with the sentiments Of the people, feels con-
fdent that more than half Of them are loyal
to the Stars and Stripes while in some dis
tricts, men hitherto prominent secessionists.
alarmed at the prospect of debt and ruin
under the sway of JEFF. Davis, have propos-
ed to join in the intended movement for a
new State Government, on condition that
the pecuniary obligations undertaken in the
secession interest, on behalf OF the State,
shall be repudiated. Light seems to be
breaking over North Carolina.

BgH A correspondent of the Missouri
Democrat, writing from Rola, August 26,
says:
Heavy firing was heard about 8 o'clock
this morning, in the direction of Lanes
Prairie. 1t is supposed here that an en-
gagement is taking place. l am informed
that the rebel force consists of seven hun
dred men, under Miskell johnson, and our
force numbers two hundred, with one piecr
of artillery. A messenger is hourly ex-
pected, when reinforcements will be sent
out if necessary. The si'ge guns are being
transported this morning to position on
the hills, where they will BE- planted.

The Action of the Government A3
Reference to the First District Of
Kentucky
The closing of the Post Offices in West
ern Kentucky will, it is hoped, be the
means of leading men in the 1st Dissric
to realize the fact that the Government is
in earnest in treating all sympathizess with
the rebellion as enemies. This step may,
however precipitate the impending conflict
in Kentucky. 1t is encouraging to Union
men in that State, as well as in the North,
to witness the decisive movements of tbs
Government, in dealing with disunionists.
1t is eminently proper that the people of
South Western Kentucky, having virtually
declared waF against the Government,
should be deprived of the blessings which
hitherto they have enjoyed in the Union
The citizens of Paducah, having seized
Government mail boat at their wharf can
not complain when the Government seizes
all freight destined for that point. They
first interfered with the freedom of the riT-
er, and now they find by sad experience
that the Government has also the power of
interrupting the free navigation of the Ohio.
The Postussters of the First Districs have
sent South, ard, mail bags belonging. to the
United States, aud they must have suspect
ed, that so soon as their treach cry was
known, they would be deprived OF the Uni
ted States mails.
There are men in this city however, who,
notwithstanding the course of Padncah and
| that District, view with horro9 any attempt
to interfere with the business of the seces-
sionists. They are, howezer, mostly men
who would sell the whole. country to JEFF.
Davis, if at the same time they could sell a
paltry bill of goods. The people of Padu-
cab claim the protection. Of Constitution
| dermine Their idea seems to be that it is
perfectly fair and proper for them to seek
to destroy the prosperity and rights of the
people of Indiana and the whole North, but
that meanwhile, amid the wreck, not hair
| of their heads is to be harmed, and indeed
/ that they are to be benefited, in the gen.
eral destruction, through the special favor
of the destroyers.
| They act "like men who, in the midst o.
noble edifce, filled with an immense
throng of people, publicly seek to level ii
1t by fire, and yet expect that those around
them will not raise hand to check THEN
Iincendiarism, or to prevent the progress Of
the fatal flames they seek to enkindle."
/ When the people of Southwestern Ken
lucky return to their allegiance, it will be
time to furnish them again with the mails
of the United States, and allow their goods
to proceed to their destination. Until then
let them share with their Southern allies
the inconveniences of the rebellion. They
have no one to blame but the traitors with
whom they are affiliated for the new state
of things which has necessarily been inau-
gurated.

awe 8. Blaek Repubnoan War.

A great many Democrats in the country,
the patrons of the New York Day Book,
are in the habit of calling the present con-
test Black Republican Y .r. The fol-
lowing remarks on this subject, are from the
pen OF John W. Forney, the able editor of
the Philadelphia Press:
have no patience with those who call
this a Black Republican war. Whoever
makes this charge must be set down as an
enemy. To consider this war as partisan,
is to consider the Government as mere
party. When person speaks of this con-
test as mere Black Republican contest,
and the Administration as Black Republi-
can Administration, set him down as an
enemy. For what is the Administration
but an emblem of Government, the type of
the Union, the custodian of the Constitu-
ton 2 If you abandon the Administration
where are you going TOT What other flag
can citizen follow 2 We want to make
an efficient war, and that can only be made
by a united Government, supported by q
united people. Those who antagonize the
Administration now really an tagonize the
country. When Mr. Lincoln or his Cabinet
commit any wrong, they will be denounced
by the people-but the denunciation will
not come from reluctant, sullen, half-heart-
Union men. Thu people who have SO gen
erously supported him when right, will not
hesitate to oppose him when wrong.
