permit. From Western Virginia, accord,
ing to the Cincinnati hgpircr, important
events mag be looked for, between the
9Jnion forces under Gen. RozcncraEs, and
the confederates under Gen. Lee, who
are in close proximity with each otLer.
Nothing is known positively respecting
the designs of the Conlederates, but it is
certain that they are advancing their pick.
ets towards the Potamao, for the purpose,
il is supposed, of attacking Washington
by crossing :he river in two columns, one
above and the other below that city.
The rutnored capture OF a detachment
of 100 mon belonging to Gen. Banks dl.
Vision, which rumor comes by way ol
Richmond, is not credited.
Several recent skirmishes have taken
place between the vessels navigating the
Potomac & batteries on the Virginia shore.
1t is reported that Gen. Banks has evac>
uated Harper's Ferry, &c, and forming a
Junction with Gen. McClellan's forces.
The Secretary of War has called upon
tho Governors Of the loyal States to for
ward troops without delay, evidently ap-
pretending an attack upon Washington.

Several of our contemporaries are much perturbed
ia mind at the visit of the Prince de JoinyiIe to
this country, and at an order from Washington
TO pay him some official attention. Grave po-
litical complications are predicted as likely TO ensie
from such notice of tho Prince the most serious OF
which is the supposed ofcnse that may be taken by
the Emperor of the French at such a reception e1-
tended to member of the dethroned royal family.
We spprchend that any attentions whatever that
may be extended TO the Prince de JOnville are
offered not because he s q sou of the late King Of
France, but because he is connected b. marriage
with the reigDing family of Brazil. As we are on
the most friendly terms with that power, there is
proprety in such that cannot be ques-
toned except by those who are disposed to create
difficulties where exist That the Prince
should come to this country to place n son in
Naval School is rather compliment than otherwise
to u.s. and to decline to admit the lad to that priv
ilege would be discourtcous net to his BRAZILIAN
family and poor return tor similar advantages ex-
tended TO young men sent from this country to the
military schools of France when his grandfather
was IN power.
When the Prince de Joinyie was the son of
regning Sovereign he visitcd this cOun-
try. aud on that occasion met, both here and in
Boston. with the reception due to such a visitor.
The difference in The attentions that may be paid
him now. IA a member OF the royal family OF
Brazil will be quite sufficient to aiay any ap-
prrhensions that may be felt as to the effect they
may have upon the disposition Of the present

Andrew xohnson's Great Speech.

We have issued in trbc of twenty-fcur pages, the
late Union speech Of Andrew johnson of Tennessee
delivered in tho Senate Of the United States on July
q, 1861.
IA this speech Mr.. johnson shows himself practical
man relying lucre upon facts than upon arguments.
He goes by the record and shows by chapter aud
verse by article and inc that the allegation oil the
Seoessonsts and their Northern friends Of the Rich
mond and Cagger school, Of any Northern section
alsm," Of any design to infringe upon Southern Con-
sttutional rights is utterly aud absnrdy ialse 50 far
from this being true be shows BY documentary evil
dence that the grievance Of the South s the existence
Of Republican Government; that they do not mean
% tolerate any Government not in subection to that
interest which finds its model in South Carolina where
a man must have fee simple in ten Of bic fellow
ctestures before he is qualified to be legislator The
tunes have brought clearer and no more phiiosopb-
cal statement of the whole than this speech OF
the Senator from Tennessee. Its closing appeal for
protection to tbe loyal men Of his own State, whom
be 40 nobly represents should find an answer in the
heart Of every man who loves Lis country.
This Tract should largely circulated among Dem
ocrats who have been deceived by Secession newspa-
pers aud all eau read it with profit.

Que cent each additional must be to prepay postage.

most gollantly iD, and for three hours the battle
was hot. Then darkness coming on, recall
was sounded. and each army rested on Its arms
ready TO renew the strife in the morning But
when the morning broke the enemy was not visi-
ble. Floyd had disappeared in the nlgnf' iea'-
ing behind him his camp eqnpnge, wagons,
horses, a large quantity of ammunition ana ~
head of cattle: hs sunk bis boats and destroyed
his BRIDGES as he went Thus the National
arms have gained another signal success o'cr tue
Rebels. and taught traitors sharp lesson. Our
loss 10 this affair was IS killed, and 10 wounded.
The loss on the side of the enemy is not known,
but it must have been heavy.
The Rebels have taken up the track Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Aartinsburg
TO North Mountain, a distance of nine miles,
and have transferred the rails to Winchester for
the purpose Of extending the Alexandria and
Loudon Road from that place to Strausburg. At
Dutiield's Station, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Road, they have also been engaged in taking to
pieces seven or eight frst-class locomotives for
the saAe of taking them to Winchester.
Another atielupt to destroy the lives of the
National soldiers in Missouri WAS made few
days ago, near Mexico, in that State. The tim
bers of bridge were nearly burned of, the de-
sign being to precipitate into the creek Il train
loaded with troops. The plot was discovered,
aud the train was stopped before it reached the
dangerous spot.
We learn from Sedsls, No.. that DR.. Jamison,
the Kansas Jayhawkrr," with small force,
had fallen upon party of 800 Rebels under DR..
Staples, a notorious ruffian, aud killed their
leader. If this is true the effect will be most
beneficial on the Union cause in that section of
the country.
Another pirate, the notorious Sumter, is lost,
having been wrecked on the island OF Trinidad,
near Port of Spain, on or about tho goth OF
August No further particulars have been re-
ceiyed, and it is not known whether any Of the
crew were drowned or MT
The Kentucky Rebels have seized the banks at
Bowling Green, and appropriated the money
therein contained. tue amount of which Is not
stated.
Gen. Butler is authorized to raise 5000 men
iu New-England for special service uLder him.
