QuMcr, Ill, July 6.-The steamer Black
Hawk, which went up from here to Canton,
Mo-, early Friday morning, carrying portion
of Col. Palmer's Regiment, has returned,
bringing the following Interesting Particulars
rom the new "Hcenc of war: :"
Capt. Howell was shot on Thursday by so-
ward, hotel-keeper, with slug, which struck
him in the breast, causing instant death.
Senator Green persuaded the German Home
Guard, Wlo had surrounded the house to pre-
vent the escape Of the murderer, to give him
up to constable to take him to the county
jall at Monticello, his intention being to take
MIN from the city and release him. They
stalted, but we're met BY the Union company
ficM Lagrange, who had somehow learned
what Green Intended, and the prisoner was
.ahen from heconstable and returned to Cam
ton. Senator Green fed, and although hotly
pursued, escaped by leaving his horse and
hiding In the Hoods
just as tLe Black Hawk landed with part OF
the 18th Regiment, and delivered the prisoner
to Col. Palmer for safe Keeping.
The troops procured horses from livery
stables and. farmers, and ecoured the country
In pursuit Of Green and other Secessionists.
X. u. Grant, MastermecEanic Of the Chica-
60, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, hearing
that there was rebel flag concealed in ce?-
lain hcuse, although unarmed, went In aud
demanded it by authority OF the United States.
There were two rebels In the room, but they
gave it up.
Two companies more of Colonel Palmer's
regiment started for Cantcn last night at eight
O'Clock.
Gov. Wood and Gen. Mather returned this
morning about one o'clock.
"A party of about twenty troops, headed by
Governor Wood, who we're in pursuit Of Jim
Green, returned to Canton yesterday evening,
having captured him abont ffty miles on tie
read towards Monticello, to which place he
was making as good time as horse flesh and
the etate Of the Missouri roads would per
nit.
The report telegraphed yesterday that Green
had escaped on foot, leaving his horse III the
woods, appears to be incorrect. He had Ell
ther regained his horse OF borrowed" one on
LIS way. When the troops came up with
him, they were on the full run, and fired shots
at the fugitive. His horse threw him of, aud
be was taken without trouble aud brought
back to Canton ind placed in the College
building, which Col. Palmer is using as bar.
racks for the present.

Facts and Rum ors about Congreas.

Facts and Rumors about Congress.
WASHINGTON, July cit has been decided
in the Republican Senatorial caucus to push
business forward with all possible rapidity,
and then adjourn. War appropriations are
likely to be nude at once. Senator Wilson
this morning introduced bills for an increase
Of the army. The general impression Is that
they will be put on their passage With as little
delay as possible
The special to the New York Ibst says, 1t is
rumored that Crittenden and Wicklff1e Of Ky.,
are preparing q plan OF compromise to be
presented to Congress. It is, however, quite
certain that no compromise measure would
receive 20 votes in Congress, even If It were
received at all.
senater Chambers bill to confscate the
lrcptIty Of rebel officers Is . bomb-shell In
The ranks Of the enemy.
Senator Wilson has added a section to his
bill 1cr Organizing the volunteer force. 1t au-
taorizes the Colonel, IIteutenant-C Colonel, Ms.

this: Matthias Point is about sixty miles BE-

Besides, the river makes an abrupt angle here
and the channel runs in close to The shore
while On the Maryland side 1t spreads out

peninsula, commanding the river approaches
IN either direction. Back Of It are the

- Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribuns.J
- WAsHma1ox, July I, 1s81:
Sunday was great day in Washington.
TelegEaphic advioes to Gen. Scott from Gen.
Rattertur, at tinsburg, say great force Is
coming from Manassas Junction to reinforce
the rebels under jackson and johnson, who
hare formed a union near Winchester. Pat
te1son Is danger of being driven from Jack
scn, and aakss troops. Ten regiments were
going today and hst night, mostly New York
e1s, By nil to the Re1sy HOUSE and Frederick.
The column Under command, OF Cen. Sanford
arrived at Martinsburg three days ago.
Nothing has been heard from Cen McC1el-
lsu. It:is supposed he has not had time to
come to- Patterson'h support. This movement
Of the enemy WEin be met by an advance Of the
whole Of cur Virginia force towards Manassas
Junction at the earliest moment possibly
within TWO days, It is hoped that the next
movement ffbm the Junction WI be-. great
enough to enable Gen. Mcdowell to force his
way between these divisions and .ahnt In the
advancing rebel column between :Patterson's
and AeDowe1l's commands, thus compelling
fight or q footrrace or q surrender. It Is
thonght thatC Col Stone at Harpe1's Ferry viii be
forced to take the Maryland side and join Gan

war looms in New York. The bids were faw and
low-none higher than 81 They ara In Doubt
whatto do. They hate to sell md yet must
hare money.
The feeling here today is that If Patterson
is driven back the enemy will get in our rear
and dersnge the plans. Patterson ha. 81 ,O00,
Stone 1000, and Sanford 10000. They ought
not to be beaten.
There is talk that the increasing of the reg

A report On the streets that q fight is going
On at Fairfax, and a report from Baltimore
that Patterson is beaten and retreating, are
canart1a though they may reach you from New
