The Great southern ChieftaIn.

The Memphis Appeal makes the following
timely remarks about Gen. PRICE, the hero of
the Southern Revolution
I Gen Price, of Missouri, is q better military
exponent of the Southern spirit, perhaps,
than any general in the Confederate service.
He has, by his brilliant movements, thrown
a wet blanket upon the Fabian policy of war
fare now so much in vogue, and demonstrat-
ed that the aggressive is the true defense
policy for the South. In the opening of the
next campaign it will be well if others, pro-
Tossing greater claims upon the public con-
fidepce, would initiate the example OF Price.
So far he has won the palm as the dauntless
Scipio of our Southern warriors, ready at all
times to "carry the war into Africa"

They tell story of a Zouave having been
asked his opinion of the English soldiers in
the Crimean campaign. Said he:
Set them do 4n in an engagement ready
prepared and well fed, and no men can fight
better; but let them get into misery and dis
tress, and no men know less how to get them
selves out of it. Par example, our battalion
was encanped beside an English regiment
which had magnificent buck goat; the cav
airy horses of their army had no forage, and
the poor beast, getting no food, sickened and
died. At this time the soldiers he belonged
to were without rations to eat, or fire to
warm themselves with: and what do you
think think they did? Why, they collected
some boards, made coffin, and buried the
buck. My comrade and myself, shocked at
such o waste of good things, took the poor
animal up that same night; parole d'ho'snear,
we had three good fires from his coffin, deli
cious messes from his flesh for seven days,
and for the rest OF the campaign we slept
upon the skin, which kept us from the damp
and saved US from sickness. Now, what do

HEAR \ kENTUCKIAN.

One of the most eloquent speeches of mod ern times, Was addressed by the Hon. Mir Holt of Kentucky. Post Master General under Mr. Buchanan. d few days since, to body of Ken lucky troops encampcd in Indiana. Mir. Holt said
 There is one most striking and distinguish ing feature of Your mission that should never be lost sight of. You are not about to invade the territory of a foreign enemy, nor is your pur- pose that of conquest or spoilation. Should you occupy the South. you will do so as friends and protectors and your aim will be not to sub jugate that betrayed and distracted country, but to deliver 1t from the remorseless military des- potism by which it is trodden down. Union men, who are your brethren, throng in those States, and will listen for the coming footsteps of your army, as the Scottish maiden of Luck HOW listened for the airs of her native land. It is true, that amid the terrors and darkness which prevail there, they are silenced and are now un- seen, but be assured that by the light of the Stars you carry upon your banner you will find them all. It has been confidently asserted by the conspirators throughout the South that this is war of subjugation on the part of the Gov ernment of the United States, waged for the extermination of Southern institutions, and by vandals and miscreants, who, in the fury of their passions, spare neither age, nor sex. nor prop eTty Livery uile Ol the COnIeGerate Generals has so far steeped himself ill infamy as to pub fish in choice billingsgate, this base ealumny through an official proclamation.
 lin view of what Congress has recently so solemuly resolved, and in view of the continu- ous and consistent action of the Administra- ton upon the subject, those who, through the presses or in public speeches, persist in repeat ing the wretched islander. are giving utterance to what everybody, themselves included, knows to be absolutely and infamously falls. It will be the first and the highest duty of the American Army, as it advances South, by it's moderation and humanity by its exemption from every ex- cess and irregularity, and by its scrupulous ob- servance of the rights of all, to show how foul iy both it and the Government it represents have been traduced.
 But when you meet in battle array those atreclous conspirators, who, at the head of ar mes, and through woes unutterable, are seek ing the ruin Of our common country, remember that since the sword famed over the portals of Paradise until now, it has been drawn in no ho- Tier cause than that in which you have been en- gagged. Remember, too, the millions whose hearts are breaking under the anguish of this terrible crime, and then strike boldly, strike in the power of truth and duty, strike with a bound and shout we'll assured that your blows will fall upon ingrates, and traitors, and parri- cides, whose lust for power would make this bright land one vast Golgotha. rather than be baked of their guilty aims, and may the God of your fathers give you the victory.

GEN. FREMONT-HIS ENERGY AND
 CAPACITY.
From the Missouri Republican.

The energy and skill displayad by Gen. Ere mont since his arrival at his headquarters in this city are wonderful, and afford striking ilustra- ton of those remarkable traits of character and mind which have already made him promi- nent parsonage in the eyes of the civilized world.
 He reached here on the morning of the 18th of July, at about 9 o'cIock. At noon of the same day he called meeting of his staff, and though recommended to take little rest after his con tinuous day and night travel from the East, re- marked that hls business was important and he naustgo to ,eork. Since that date he has labor ed unremittingly in the organization of his department, and in laying the foundation of those important plans which have been con6ded to him by the government for the movement of grand army down the Mississippi River du- ring the coming Fall.
 He rises in the morning at 5 o'clock, and rarely quits his labors before 12 o'clock at night in this respect resembling the habits of Alex ander von Humbolt, the Duke of Wellington and other historical characters to whom sleep seems to have been one of the least important requirements of their natures. In all his orders he IS explicit and comprehensive. and in his ap- pointments punctual to the minute. One in stance has come to our knowledge, where. hay ing some business with civilian, he told him to call at fen minutes before o'clock and his pa pers should be ready for him. The gentleman was promptly on time, and the papers were as promptly placed in his hands.
 In one week after his arrival. though oppress- ed with a variety of other important business he had chartered a feet of eight steamboats loaded them with soldiers, culled from different portions of the State. supplied them with ar tillery and various kinds of military stores, which he had ordered from the East, and led them in person to the relief of the troops at Birds Point, which place was seriously menaced by the Rebel army under Gen. Pillow. His re- turn was as prompt as his departure, and from the stir at his headquarters, it would seem that he has entered upon another week. with un- wonted vigOr From the advertisements in the newspapers and other sources. we gather that an extensive camp of instruction is.at once to be established on the outskirts of our city, the camp to hold 10000 or 3O,OOO soldiers.
 Near Springfield Illinois, another camp of equal dimensions is already established and rap idly filling up. The hospital and commissary departments in this city also under process of enlargement. All these formidable preparations of course look to but one grand object and that the complete possession of the valley of the Mississippi River by the Government af the United States. Reviewing the character of Gen. Fremont, and glancing but for a moment at the wonderful energy. and capacity he has displayed since his arrival in the West, who shall doubt that the Government has confided the management of this grand enterprise to the proper hands?

MASSACHUSETTS FoREvER.-Wh hen the Twelfth (Mass) Regiment reached Harrisburg, rumor was current that the rebels had opened an attack upon Washington. Col. Webster immediatly called upon the engineer of the locomotive to push ahead. But he said his engine was out of order, and the best he could was five niles an hour. lWhereupon the colonel called for squad ofmachinists. Five at once responded. They examined the engine and declared it to be in perfect order. The engineer was thereupon placed under arrest, and a private put in his rate of thirty miles an hour. The rumor was unfounded, but it did not change the fact that Yankee soldiers can do anything.-ABan 2 Ecening Journal.
