WASHINGTON, August 10. - The
War Department has received from
the Governors responses to the late
general order, the most enthusss-
tic and pst,iotic, 10 the call Tor addi
tional troops. As ii is known the
Cabinet are unit on the measures
for the prosecution OF hostilities, the
attacks Oh tho administration here
are regarded ns intended to thwart
its policy OF effective Operations.
Commander Livingston, of the
steamer Penguin. writing to the
Navy Department under date Of the
18th instant, communicates interest.

The Great Conspiracy.


To the mind of any careful oh
server OF tho current Of political
events there can no longer remain a
reaonable doubt that tho elements
of the great conspiracy are ferment'
ing in the North. The programme
has been made at Washington IN.
der the eye of Breckenridge himself
assisted by his amiable confeder'
ate." Vallsndigham, and others OF
that ilk. BY this programme peace
was to bo the watchword, aid COZ
rupt concession to the rebels the re
suit. To carry ont this, the plan is
to weaken the North ty divisions o.
parties; to deceive the Democracy
by the cry of devotion to the Union
while the leaders pander to the pur
pose of rebellion. To aid in thi;
secret conclave OF the BreckinridgC
faction was held in Washington city
EIitors were called there from New
England and all the West. To aiC
in this, Ben. Wood is strenuously
pushing his mousing schemes in
New York IT, aid in this the New
York Day Book, the vilest secession
sheet on the continent, is scattered
by the thousand through every coun'
ty in the North. To aid in this the
word went forth from the concalv,
that there must he no obliteratior
of party lines; but that the part.
organization should be made the
nucleus for the ralIying together o
all the elements OF secession, wheth
er they spring from weakness o
wickedness. These arch conspra
tors know that, if the people Of tn
loyal states are united. the doom o
/ is sealed. and the fate of its leader
fixed. Their policy is therefor t'
"divile anl ccnqncr;"-to divide b.
tho speciouS pretencc ot peace, t
conquer by the united front ol thei
own rcbellious forces. This insi
dious and serpent like enemy mus
,lc met. We know whereof ",
affirm. by i ia that shall BE- forth
coming, md that must bu ccnvincin:
10 tho most. skruiical, that the ni4
at the Southern rebellion ia secretl
spreading its poison in our midst

PAYMENT OF RETURNED REGIMENTS.
Some of tho regiments recently re-
turned from the seat OF war have not
been paid IF, and the delay occasions
much Inconvenience. Many of the
men are in need of the money, and
mahy are anxious to re-enlist, which,
they will do Immediately on re.
ceiving payment for past services. -
Many have sl.eady enlisted in regi
ments now forming, but dcclino 60,
ing into quarters until paid. The
fault rests entirely with the officer.
OF returned regiments, who are at
tending to their personal business
or none, as the case may be, or re
ceiving the congratulations of theil
friends, while they neglect the want,
Of their men. II the minor officer,
are too ind lent or negligent to max,

The New Gunboats.

The first Of the twenty three new
gunboa's now building for the gov
ernmcnt in the Eastern cities, was
launched at New York on Saturday
The Past says:
Though NORMALLY euTboats, the
size, strength and armament OF thesr
vessels place them among first class
ships.of war. They arc to he o
equal dimensions, arl "a nearly
similar az it is possible to make
them. The extreme length is ont
hundred and sixty six feet, the width
twenty eight feet. and the depth o.
hold twelve feet. The timber is
mostly of white oak, and the knees
braces and fastenings are of the
strongest and coml,letest description
The draft of water it is calculated
will be about nine feet. The arIna
mcnt will consist OF twelve thirty
two FOUNDERS, with pivot CUR
amidships-probably a columbad
OF the heaviest description. A
smal' er pivot gnn may be placed Oh
the forecastle deck.
The vessels will bo schooner rig
ged, and propelled by two screws
driven by two back. action engines
with thirty-inch cylinders, eacl
complete in itself. An snxili,ry
engine will also be on board. Th'
speed to be obtained from the steam
power alone is rockoned TO be four
teen to fifteen knots an hour. Thus
these vessels will be faster than any
other war craft ahraf. The speed o
the English gunboats is scarcely
more than nine knots. The compile
ment Of men required is understood
70 be Ices than two hundred. thougl
that number might be advantage
ousl y employed.
In less than two months, probably
the government will be in possession
OF the whole number OF these yes
sels-the best and most effective o
the class ever built.

TnE SLAVE QuEsTroN-It is quite
evident that the public mind is un.
dergoing very marked change, as
to the institution Of slavery. Many
among our political opponents, whom
we have regarded, heretofore, as the
apologists OF slavery, now speak ont
in very decided terms, in regard to
the institution, and demand that it
be summary dealt with, when enl-
ployed to aid the rebellion. The day
is past when the same tenderness
will be manift sted, in regard to
! Alavery, except in the case Of those
Yho really sympatbize with the reb-
hs.
The word "compromise," banded
about by the secret enemies of the
ov,rnment at the North, is coming
into very bad repnle. 1t needs now
to DO very carefully qualified to max 9
1t even tolerable. 1t is doomed to
the same fate as tho term "coercion, I"
which was used as the rallying cry
of a faction always the ready apollo
gists of the South, and which the
fall of Sumter rendered obsolete.

Arrival OF the santa Fe Mail.

INDEPENDENcE. Missouri, Aug. 10
The Santa Fe mail and Canon City
Express arrived here last evening.
three DAYS ahead Of time, bringing
dates from Stata Fe. to the 9th inst.
and Canon City, to the 9th instant.
A report resohed Santa Fe two
days before the mail LEFT, that Major
Lynd, OF the seventh infantry United
Stat, $ army, in command Of about
500 federal trools. surrendered tC
the Texas troops, 1000 in number
with ont firing a shut.
Major Lynd abandoned Fort
Fillmore on the Goth ultimo, and
marched toward Fort Staunton, Is
miles from Fort Fillmore. He sur
rendered his whole command to the
Texas troops.
1t is believed in Santa Fe that the
Texans have also taken the stocb
and coaches belo ging to the Sant'
Fe and Ell Paso Mail Company, al
their coach failed to arrive in Santi
Fe on the third instant.
An engagement took place q
Messilla, between a body Of feder,
troops and 700 confederates unde
command OF Captain B'ylor. Capt
McNally and Lieutenant Brooks, u
the federal armv, were wounded il
the engagement. Twelve of th
con'ederates were killed. Night pu
an end to the engagement.
The Texans remained in Messills
and the iederals went to Fort Fill
more, about 100 miles distant.
Considerable fears were entertain
ed for the safety of Fort Union. an
the commanding officer OF that pot
was having it fortified and entrenct
ed.
Colonel Loring, formerly OF tn
United States, is said to he in con

Political Movements.

The Republicans Of Maine, Yer
mont, and New York, sevcrully pro
posed to the Democracy Of their re-
spective states, to drop all party
questions and unite in great Union
movement for the preservation Of The
government; but this liberal propo
si,ion, just as has been the case in
this state, was rejected with con.
tempt, and steps have been taken IoI
Q bitter party warfare. In all these
states, it is we'll known, that tn,
Republicans are largely in the as
tendency, and might, if they chose
have controlled :hose states. Il,
Maine the Democracy adopted an
exceedingly obnoxious Platform, il
which the war is Denounced, and
downright reasonable sentiments ut
tered. So opposed was it to the
feelings Of the more liberal class o.
Democrats, in no way symPathisine
with the rebels, that a porlitn OF the
delegates withdrew from tbe Con
ven,ion. and formed anothe& ticket
In New York the State Central Com
mittee. of the Breckinridge wing, me'
ard adopted strong anti war rdtoln
tions, and commencing the II (ear
Richmond wing for rejecting the pro
po.,tion OF the Republicans, age eet
not to call any Convention nor ndn
mate q ticket, but co. operate VIII
their late recusant brethren, in "a
ting up ticket, opposed to the Na\
tional administration, and to thu
prosecution Of the war. That lht
Democratic m asses will follow IN th,
wake Of these treacherous leaders, i,
not 1T all probable. These fellow,
can control, at best. but very smal
fragment Of the party, in their pres
ent hostile attitude towards the gov
ernment. Tho people, no matter o
what party connection, arc not pre-
pared for such treason.
