COMMANDER For THE CONFEDERATE ARMY
IN VIRGINIA-The Richmond Examiner of
Wednesday last says:
Letters to the editor from friends in the
South. mention these important facts as
certainly true:
lss.-That Gen. Joseph E. johnson, late
OF the Federal army, and now Brigadier
General of the Southern Confederacy. has
been ordered to take command at Harper's $
Ferry, and ought to have reached his des-
tination either yes terday or to-day.
2d.-That Gen. Beauregard has been Or
dered to the command at Norfolk, and is ON
his way there.
3d.-That President Jefferson Davis will
cume to Richmond SO soon as his business
at Pensacola is concluded, perhaps by the
close of the present week

The Montgomery Mail of the 18th inst
says " Having returned, this morning
from Pensacola, where we have been fol
several days, We car assure our readers that
the reports going to show that battle will
soon occur at Fort Pickens are mere con.
lectures. OF the plans Of any of those in
command, nothing is known outside o.
headquarters. We conversed with sewers
officers from the camps. and they assure us
that nothing can certainly be known. Our
own impression, formed while in Pensacola
is, that there will be no battle at all at Pick
ems, or, at least, that it is not now the in.
tention of the Confederate authorities to at
tack it.

HOW tho People Regard the war.

While at Columbus attending the Con-
vention we took special pains to discover the
true feeling of the people in reference to the
war. There was but one feeling, one senti-
mont there, and that was prosecute the war
at any cost of blood and treasure until reb-
els throw down their arms and return to
their allegiance. There was no Democratic
position, or Republican position in regard to
this matter All thought and spoke alike.
There is no use for men to talk of compro-
mise or National Conventions or any of that
sort of second fiddling to treason, until re-
bellion, treason is put down. That is the
determination of the people of the State of
Ohio, let traitors say what they will about
compromise and peace We don't ,Oant,
nor will we haze peace until rebels cease to
be such, and the leaders of this rebellion are
hung or shot.--Athens Messenger.

DEmOCRATs AMI TTrE WAR.

In the patriotic speech Of Mr.. Moses F.
Odell, at the Fort Greene meeting last week,
we fiud suggestion which is SO true and so
important thatwe repeat it here. Mr.Odcll
said that "as democrat he had more right
go feel strongly on he subject Of the re-
M6ellion than Repablicda had"--and this
because the rebellion began in the Demo
cratic party, and was carried out under n
democratic administration, mostof tho mem
Der of which were leaders in the great con-
spiracy.
Mr.. Odell is quite right. The loyal dem
ocrats have been for some years tools in the
hands of those inscriptions political huck-
sters who are the moving spirits in the
southern rebellion. Year after year and
election after election the conspirators push
ed their northern friends more roughly to
the wall. Year after year such mon as
Floyd, Rhett, Toombs, Davis and Keitt de-
manded more to satisfy them; until at last
at the Charleston Convention, only few
sycophants were found willing to give up
all 10 the insatiate demands of tho southern
masters, who were even then plotting
against the Union, and who cast overheard
their firm friend Gushing, and purposely
broke up the Convention, whose unanimity
would probably have secured the election Of
Mr.. Douglas to the Presidency.
There are reasons hero why democrats
may "feel more strongly" on this subject
than Repubicans--causes for feelings o.
personal and party resentment. The treach
cry of few leading southern democrats has
dsorganized the democratic party ant
dealt it prostrating defeat. Such Breck
inridge Democrats as Gen. Butler, sucl
Douglas Democrats as Mr. Odell, understood
when they urged their party measures, tina
the constitutional majority must decide, anC
that the submission after an election is ne
less the duty Of every party man than thc
strongest efforts before.
These men held the Union precious, anC
were willing to concedo much to the south
ern blusterers, who enforced every new de
mand with the cry of danger to the Unior
if they did not get their wishes. But a.
they honestly and truly loved the Union
so they have been foremost in defending il
against all enemies. AS ex-Governo
Wright, of Indiana, (another Union demo
erat) said recently: "Whoever lifts hi
hand against the Union and the flag is my
enemy, and if he is my brother so mucl
the worse for him.-N Y. Post.

DEFENSIVE PREPARATIoNs.-T nation
al troops in and about Washington are max
ing excellent use of their time in which they
linger here. People at distance from the
capital would be astonished if they could see
what vast amount Of work has been ac-
eomplished in throwing up earthworks, not
only in Virginia, but on every approach to
Washington. With one months work more
Of the kind now going on, fifty thousand
men, if they were good soldiers, could hold
Washington for three months against half
million Of men. The earthworks in Vir-
ginia, from Alexandra to the Chain Bridge,
have been strengthened, now forts have
been constructed, and the line of defense
rendered almost perfect. No rebel army
can possibly break through it, unless our
troops exhibit eowardice such as the world
never yet saw; and such IN event is impos-
sible. The developments ofeach day show
That our troops are 10 excellent condition,
and will certainly fighi as well and brayely

Mount vernon I o be ConSIscntcd.

An effort is being made by parties in this
and other cities to induce the Government
TO confscato the Mount Vernon estate, with
the hope Of realizing moneys Of which they
were defrauded by the bad management Of
tho Association. The business matters of
the fund was very loosely conducted. A
man named G. T. Deveraux swindled the
fund to a considerable extent, afterward ab
sconding. Deyeraux was employed by Miss
Pamela Cunningham, the Regent, to en-
grave the "Record," and certain other pub
licatons auxiliary to the uses of the Society.
Being an accomplished penman, he forged
Miss Cunnngham's signature so skilfully
that G. B. Riggs, the Washington banker
and treasurer of the Society is thought to
have lost about $4,000 in this way. A
number of brokers on Third street, likewise
deceived, honored the forged checks, and
one was swindled to the amount of $4,000
These latter parties, with view of secur
ing indemnity, propose that the Government
shall confiscate Mount Vernon, inasmuch as
the titles to the same arc held by secession
lists, and Miss Cunningham, also secession
ist, adheres to the fortunes of South Caro-
lima To the latter lady's carelessuess the
losses are due. Deveraux understood her
habits of business, and made them subsery-
lent to his schemes. He was, however,
even then detected, suffered to 90 unpun-
ished, whereas prompt appeal to the author
tiles would have secured him, and saved the
money.
Mount Vernon is now virtually the prop
erty of the rebels. If confscated and sold
it could not fall 10 worse hands than at
present, and it is improbable that Miss
Cunningham, with her reasonable proclivi-
ties, ill relinquish any part of the funds
Voluntarily contributed by the women Of
the North. .....
Deyeraux is said to have gone to Europe,
but many believe that he is hid away in
Philadelphia. swindling operations net
ted him more than 100000, and his known
parsimony will probably detect him in in
vesting it.
He forged to the extent of $4,000 upon
the late Mrs. Gaunter, whose losses are sup
posed to have induced her death.-Phaa-

The virginia ssSnalxe Hunters.

The most efficient company, perhaps,
under General Rosencrans' command is ono
bearing the suggestive name of "Snake
Hunters" and commanded by a gentleman
named Baggs. The men arc daring and
fearless beyond belief, and have done more
dangerous and arduous service than any
other similar body of troops in the army
They are armed with Minnie rifles and
sword bayonets, and go where and when
they please. They frequently pass the reb
ell pickets, and some times even enter their
camp, passing themselves off as rebels
They 90 sometimes on foot, and when it
is more convenient they are we'll mounted.
Their horses and clothes do not cost the
government anything. They are the most
efficient spies we have, and much valuable
information is obtained through them.
The "Snake Hunters" left Camp Carlisle
with the first Virginia regiment on foot,
but have since come in possession of horses.
They never, we believe, belonged 10 any
regiment, and we are not sure that they
were ever regularly Pittsburg

A Sign OF A. Poor MAN.--The Western
Virginia correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, who is up among the noun
tains, speaks as follows of the people:
They arc deplorably ignorant, without
the pleasant simplicity of ordinary rusticity,
and they are poor. Their little farms are
pastures and meadows, with patches of corn,
wheat and potatoes not much larger than a
ten pin alley. They export few cattle,
and considerable quantities of beeswax and
honey. Strange to say, the expanding en-
terprise of hooped skirts has not yet affected
their female vanity. Calico even is rare
How can woman be happy without calico |?
and the women about Cross Lanes and its
perspire under cross barred
liusey woolsey, unassisted by that voluptu-
GUS swell of the skirts which imparts so
much grace to female apparel. Every
family is thronged with its litter of tow
heads, and by the way, a chatty little wo-
man on the hill yonder, enlightened me by
stating the curious physiological fact, that
"tow head young 'uns is a sign of poor
man." l should think so, considering the
number to the yard in these mountains.

Union In New York.

Patriotism, like politics, "makes strange
bedfellows." Who would supposed year
ago that the Republicans of Ohio from Lake
to River would have earnestly shouted for
''Tod and Victory "-and that the Repub-
lican party of New York would have placed
at the head of its State ticket such man
as Daniel S. Dickinson, whose life has been
one constant, bitter, and uncompromising
warfare upon its leaders and its principles.
But such is the force of patriotism in the
hour of National peril. In Ohio and New
York, men of all parties have come togeth-
er, and have presented a grand example of
political self-abnegation. They have put
aside old theories, old predjudices, and ami
mosities of the past, and clasp hands as
brothers for the Union. They differ as
politicians-they become one as patriots.
The Peoples Union State ticket in New
York, headed by Dickinson, will sweep the
State by an immense majority. Even the
Mozart General Committee of New York
City, after full discussion, by vote of 100
to 20, formally adopted the Peoples State
ticket as its own. This ensures an over
whelming vote for the national ticket in the
metropolis, and the World says "from pres
ent appearances it does not seem likely that
the White Feather ticket can poll more than
10000 votes in the State"
The Albany Regency have as much
trouble to get full ticket as the vallandig-
ham Democracy of Ohio. Two of their
nominees-Mr. Tremane for Attorney
General, and Mr.. Brunk for State Treasurer
Withdrew from the ticket, perferring
country to party. The Democratic State
Committee filed the vacancies with the
names of VIM. B. Champlin for Attorney
General, and w. Williams, of Erie, for
State Treasurer.

RATHER FIeHT THAN HAVE THEIR PAY.
"A Washington correspondent tells the
following:
An amusing scene occurred in the camp
of a Pennsylvania regiment two days ago.
Our troops were engaged in brisk skirm-
ism with the rebels at Lewinsville Just
above the Chain Bridge. Nearly opposite,
on this side of the river, Gen. McCalI's di-
vision were 10 camp, and the paymaster
was counting out the gold due the troops
fortheir service. Word was received Of
what was going on over the river. The
men sprang to their arms, anticipating an
order to march. There regimentamo whom
the money was being distributed turned
their backs upon the paymaster and his
treasure, as if it were a matter Of no ac-
count, One man was signing receipt for
a yellow heap then lying op the table; he
dropped his pen, and rushed for the camp,
leaving pen, paper and gold to take care Of
themselves. Another hastily shouted,
"Hold on to mine till tomorrow" and dart
ed from the tent. The paymaster was left
alone with the gold, with time to contem-
plate the eurions incidents of war.

mcClellan's Tethod Of Creating an Army

McCIellan's Method of Creating an Army
A Washington correspondence of the
Providence Journal gives the following
interesting notices of some observations up
on General McClelan's method of dealing
with his army:
/ saw the General last evening just after
his return from the skirmish which took
place yesterday. He was in fine spirits,
as he had good cause to be. 81 be-
gin to feel" he said, "as if l had an army.
No men could have behaved better had
told our soldiers that we must have no more
Bull Runs. 1t would have been mortifying,
after saying that, if they had run; but not
a man flinched." After the fight was over
he went round to see the wounded soldiers.
He acted upon them like a tonic; one of
them took bullet out of his pocket, and
holding it up with an air of exultation said,
"There, General, that came out of my
thigh" 1t will be remembered that tho
New York Seyenty-ninth recently disgraced
itself, was severely reprimanded by Gen.
Mcclellan, and had its colors taken
away. In this fight however, they most
nobly redeemed their reputation. 81 find
that l have done you injustice" said the
General in his generous joy at their brave
conduct, to one of the mortally wounded.
"No, sir" the man energetically replied,
"you did just right"
