MASSACHUSETTS I TRooPs.-The last Wash
ihgton letter Of the London Times, Russell,
received IN this country, says
Il went ont to soc the Eighteenth Massa chu-
sctts the other day, and found them pitching
their tents With all the rawness of pew hands;
bat their equipments wcEc eNce4cBt, she trans
port HsagnifceOts and tho men equal in youth,
health stnturef and bulk o any regiment (not
picked like the Gnards) in our service
The gallant little State has raised no less
than twenty regiments, and is ready to DO
more. South Carolina cannot be more deter
mined. The troops we have here now are not
only better behaved, but they are not allowed
to behave badly, at least in the city, and they
must be content with rural joys and recreations.
1t is well for the United States to get rid of
4he rascaldom of its cities, but it does not do
to rely on it as a military eemsnt, and the po-
lice, who delight in the process, are doing no
good to the army. There are men of a differ.
ent stamp aocking 10 the field. As the pres
sure creeps upward, the recruits will come
from the higher level.

PLUcKY KANsAs.-This young State seems
to be like Kilkenny cat, all fggt. She has
furnished, complete or nearly full, nine regi-
ments for the war, besides turning out thirty
day men when an emergency required; and ev-
cry able-bodied man in the State is said to be
undergoing drill and ready for fight. Kansas
has some old scores with the Border Ruffians
of Missouri TO pay of, the accumulation of
which trained her men for fighting, ard the
recollection of which doubtless gives keen
edge to their patriotism. The Missouri Sc
cessionists are the same breed that furnished
the Border Rufians therefore the retributive
Justice can hardly go amiss among them.

Fhs Great NAVAL nrpeditisn.

The New York Times of the l4th announ
ces the sailing of a portion OF the great naval
expedition that has been in the course of prep
aration at that port for some weeks, and which
begins to assume colossal proportions The
Times states :hat sevent ?-ive thousand troops
are to go. The steamer Cahnwba and Coatza-
coalos sailed Saturday evening with Rhode
Island Regiment, and Sunday morning the
Star of the South followed with Col. Scfrells
Engineer Regiment, previously announced as
having gone to Washington. During the day
the transports Ocean Eagle, Daniel Webster,
Ariel and Oriental sailed on the same errand
The remainder of the feet was expected to
leave on Monday.
1t is understood that the feet will rendez-
vous at Annapolis. #hefe 1t is stated that the
number of troops will be largely augmented,
including infantry, artillery and cavalfy. Col.
Wilson's Massachusetts regiment will be d.
mong the troops to participate in the e4pedi-
tion The Times says:
1t is impossible TO give full list Of the ves'
sels that will cbntpose the feet, as many Of
them lohve other ports besides New York
Among those that sail from this port, besides
the oucs above mentioned, are the Wabash flag
ship; the gunboais Ottawa and Unadilla; trans
ports, Baltic, Atlantic, Cahawl,aj Vanderbilt,

The Atlantic and Baltic, and others amoug

idea may be formed Of the magnitude of the

transports-the Daniel Webster-carries little
else but water for the troops.

We call attention to the Proclamation of the
Governor, and the Orders from the Adjutant
General aud the Quartermnster General The
general Government had undertaken to equip
all the volunteers raised for tho war, but ii has
been found impossible to procure of manufac
turers supplies in sufficient quantities to meet
present demands, and in this emergcncy an ap,
peal IL made to the liberaliiy Of our citizsns
for contributions from their private stcres.--
The appeal is one tkat tEe loyal arB patriotic
people Of ouT State will take pleasure in re-
spending TO 10 the best of their ability, and
their donations, whiIe they are not missed by
themselves, will render comfortable the bodies
and cheer the hearts Of our gallant anil brave
volunteers who have left friends ard all the
comforts Of home to bear the haElshFps and IN
cur the Tisls Of the camp and the fold in de-
senae Of the privileges aD,I blessings we enjoy.
In all P@Vts 1f the State cou'ribuiions are be-
ing promptly aRd liberaIiy rsadci and as FAR as
effort has been made, the Indications warrant
the assertion that in this as in all other move,
ments connected with tbe present struggle,
Delaware county will disChssgc her whole lu-
ty- The town has alrcsdy been thoroughly
and successfully canvasscd, tbs ladies having
taken the matter in hand and cal Yietlh tbrouxh
with their usual promptness and spirit. The
proceedings of the County Military CorsFrit-
tee will show the people of the county the pro-
posed mode Of operation in the several town
ships. We hope that Immediate aud energetic
action will be had, and every township thor :
oughly cAnyassed. The publications referred to,
which will be found in to-day's p,p,r, will give
all necessary information for the goverance of
those who may engage in the good work.

The Rebel GOss at the seige Of Loxins-

The Rev. DIR. BUTLER, Chaplain of the Chi
cago Irish Brigade, who was taken by the reb-
els at Lexington, has been released and has
arrived in Chicago. The Tribune of that city
says
DR.. Butler pronounces the rebel General
Prices official report of the battle of Lexing-
ton TO be grossly false. He says that nearly
every third house in Lexington is hospital
containing wounded rebels, and for miles along
every road leading into the country, the hou-
ses have been converted into hospitals. The
statement of Price about the small number of
killed and wounded on the rebel side, was
petty quib5le. The regularly enrolled army Un-
der Prices command was scarcely 10000 men;
hat in addition to these were some eighteen or
twenty thousand men, composing independent
regiments, companies and squads, who fought
on their own hook. Price used this vast food
wood army, as well as his own 10000, in cap
turing Mulligan and his 200 brave soldiers;
bet he emitted to give any account Of their
killed ana Woanded in his report, con6ning
himRelf to his own command, and grossly un-
deFTatiug the less even among them. Price
says that but si& Of his men were killed in the
hgAt on the Ilth, whereas, Dr. Batler assisted
to bury the bodies of seventeen which the re5-
els did not carry away.
