TIE ATTACKS on CAMERON-The
Washington correspondent Of the n. \.
T,jJune, a paper no: at all friendly to
Gen. Cameron, says in one Of bis recent
despatches published in that print:
at is high time that the bafiied specu-
lators, who have been driven out of the
War Department, ceased their caiumny
about Secretary Camcron's use Of the llar-
risburg Railroad. Every soldier who has
been transported over the route knows
that Mr.. Cameron has saved to the Gov
crnmeu, $500 on each regiment forwar-
ded to Washington. Tha, was the fer
encc in the price charged by the Harris
burg line, and the Camden and Amboy.
By this new route, all transhipmeu's and
changes Of cars were avoided, exceedingly
important items in the transportation of
heavy guns, horses, stores and ammunition
of war, while saving to the Treasury enor-
nous sums of money
Most of the assaults upon Gen. Cameron
originate with open or secret enemies of
the Administration-his old personal foes
%. soured, disappointed contractors.

The Herald states that OF the Eth ult.,
the War Department issued orders direct
ing commanders of Fort Smith, Ark,
Forts Cobb, Gibson and Washita to evac-
uate and move the Government property
to Fort Leavenworlb, and authorizing the
occupation of these forts by the Arkansas
volunteers. This explains The abandon
ment of For. Smith by its Federal garri-
son some time ago.
The Government to-day received advices
from the squadron off Fort Pickens. No
change of the military status up to the
last date. The squadron in accordance
with instructions, had put stop to the
landing of vessels from Mobile and New
Orleans with supplies for the rebel army.
A strict blockade is maintained. 1t ap-
pears that the rebel troops have almost
wholly been supplied with provisions from
these two ports. The stoppage of these
supplies at this time, will it is thought,
operate most disastrously to the troops, as
they were poorly supplied before. SO

Cairo Matters.

a correspondent ofthe Chicago Tribune,
writing from Cairo on Wednesday last,
: says:
The sensation of to-day is decidedly the
visit of party of twenty-f five gentlemen all
Union men, from Tennessee, who made an
excursion to this city by the river, taking
boat at Dresden. They were headed BY
the gallant and loyal Hon. Emerson Eth
eridge. Their purpose is to see the camp
here and fest its feeling, to carry back a
report to the noble Unien men Of Tennes-
see, z.a
They come from State where Just now
Rebellion is rampant, but where, neyerthe-
less, band of loyal hearted men are put
ting forth gigantic exertions to roll back the
tide Of treason, and save old Tennesses
from dishonor. They speak eheeringly,
too, of the prospect. but are not blind to
the dangers that threaten.
"A few nights since, Mr.. Elberidge went
10 Memphis to fill anappointmeut to make
q Union speech. About forty of his
friends, however, knowing The mad frenzy
offhe community, induced him to relin-
quish his design, and they gave him their
armed presence as body-guard until be
was safely out of Memphis. This is all
that sayed him from outrage if not from
death. -a sza .z
iAdsy or two later, on his way to speak
at fafss, Ky, he narrowly escaped falling
into the hands of 400 furious secessionists,
thirsting for bis life. These distinguished
Tennesseians were appropriately received
with marked courtesy by Col. Oglesby, in
temporary command of this post.
LIem Mr.. Etheridge learn that Andy
johnson, T. A. R. Nelson, Maynard, and
Others, are bravely and devotedly CANVASS
ing for Union. He SAYS Bell is misunder-
stood, and that he is doing good service
for the Union cause. These brave and 10y
al men, in the face of those difficulties,
claim 20 be able TO see light ahead and that
old Tennessee will, by the voice of her peo-
pie, again take her place in the ranks of
the loyal States. Mr.. Etheridge and his
party were the lions of Cairo to-day.

The Great Eastern IN : ssorm

A passenger on board during the late
trip to New York writes:
"All Monday, the 9th of May, the Great
Eastern was driving against one of the
sbarpest gales of the boisterous season on
the Norlh Atlantic. The wind blew near
ly a hurricane for quite for forty-eight
hours. Caught by the tremendous stress
from the east and south, the ship took the
trough of the sea. The crash of crockery
and ali moveable things startled the timid.
In the tremendous roll of the ship (she
never pitched) )the Inconvenience of her por-
derous rigging became evident. Two gafts
broke from their stays aud swung fearful
ly free, endangering the tunnels; and when
after long and hard exertion, thy were
secured, boatswain's mate bore testimony
by broken leg to the severity of the
struggle.
Gall through the hurricane, while the
waters were Kissing up her sides, half over
turning her boats on their davits, and
dashing spray far up iuto her yards, the le-
viathan was moving at the rate of ten
knots an hour. Twice or thrice the vessel
was put off her course by couple of points
to make fast the upper works. The real
greatness and magni6cence of the Great
Eastern appeared. With bead to the wird.
she stood firm and composed. Her mo-
tion was again easy. There was no shock,
no strain. The labor. was with the sea,
and il was in vain. And there was no
faultto find with her engines. That was
perfect. The distance performed in this
day of weather" not including miles tray-
eled out of course, was 215 knots"

John C.. Breckenridge. tho
Traitor.

The Louisville Journal says: -~9
"We could adduce proof of the very ex-
traordinary declarations made by John c..
Breckenridge to the Secession leaders du-
ring bis late visit to this city. Mr.. BIeck-
enridge declared it was out of the question
to think Of letting Southern troops starve
in the South, that such thing must aud
would not be permitted; the Confederate
States army must be brought to Kentucky,
and that Kentucky, in order to do this, must
at once 60 out of the Union. And Mr.:
Breckenridge's friends heartily agreed with
him.
So John c. Breckenridge wants the
Southern army 10 swarm into Kentucky,
to consume the substance of the State,
and desolate it as the battlefield of the Mis-
sissippi Valley in this civil war. This is the
entertainment to which the young man in
vites the State which has heaped honors
upon him. Before Breckenridge concluded
that he was great man, be was disgusted
with slavery, and being poor young man,
went to Burlington, Iowa, and opened an
office. He wanted to flee from Kentucky
on account of the institution of slavery
which weighed down poor young men, and
he had inherited only an honorable name.
But the young man was starved out Of
Burlington and presently became a pet of
Kentuckians. Now he wants to invite a
horde of famishiDg conspirators into his
State to overthrow the Federal authority
there, and wet her soil with thu blood Of
American citizens.

Terrible Times i'm Ward Town
ship...ExOdu of Negroes.

On Sunday last week, a preacher named
Spears, of the Free Wesleyan denomina-
ton, whilst preaching 10 promiscuous
congregation of Whites aid Blacks in Ward
township, in this county, was taken from
the pulpit and elected from the house. We
have beer unable to learn the provacation,
but understand it was ou account of the
sincepdiary doctrine and encouragement to
shs blacks to arm themselves for emergen-
scies. On Saturday last quite crowd of
citizens of Green and Ward Townships
convened for the purpose of consulting as
to the policy to be pursued relative to the
state of affairs existing in that neighbor-
hood, at which we understand, It was re-
solved TO inform Mr.. Spears that if he
again attempted TO preach at that place he
would be summariIy dealt with. The
crowd then repaired to the house of Joshua
Lett, negro who had living with him a
white woman, named Humphrey, of bad
character, both Of whom were tarred and
feathered. - ~ 45
ss On Sunday The crowd repaired to the
scene Of excitement, and having heard that
Thomas Mabray and Abraham Gross (col-
ored) had made use of expressions which
tho citizens did not relish very well, they
were also treated with garment of tar and
feathers.
On monday the crowd repaired to the
Norman settlement. and without commit
ting such depreciation, gave several negroe
notice TO leave within six months.
These are the facts as far as we have
heard, and which we give as we received
them, without vonching for their correct
ness. II is rumored that the negroes, who
are more numerous in these two townsips
than in all the balance of the county, have
.been arming themselves and making many
serious threats, but the negroes deny all
is charged against Hooking SENT
mel. (O.)
