sinoss in, this country, are responsible
for q tender Of ten regiments unequip-
ed, but well built, hardy and active
men, who are not earning eleven dol

who are ready and willing to enter the
service Of the United States for the war,
be it long or short, on condition that at
the expiration Of the war the Govern
ment will grant them each q bounty Of
land.
Kcokuk and Quincy papers say hun

that on Monday band Of seccss;onists,
Of Hampton, sent depatation to Col.
IDimnick, demanding the sole posses

he would give the rebels just ten min
ntos to dispense. Two companies of
Massachusetts troops were ordered
Inorthward, and a cannon was placed
SO as to sweep the entire distance. The
Colonel, with q watch in hand, waited
for the expiration Of the time, when not

Massachusetts men took possession Of
the dixie and bridge.

4 FALSE REPORT CONFERENCE.-THE
4 reliable letter writer at WASHINGTON
contradicts the rrmor that the Presi-
dent had given pledges to the North
western Governors. He says:
"There is no truth in the statement
that President Lincoln has given as
surances to Northern Governors as to
the policy to be pursued. lie has told
the people that he would enforce the
laws and possess the public property
When he has fulfilled his pledge the
War will terminate, and not before
But the President has not deemed it
necessary to give such assurances to
any Governors, or other State authori-
ties; nor have any such assurances
been asked Of him. The President
and his Cabinet Will not be behind the
people, and Gen. Scott is quite deter
mined to have final decision of the
question involved as the most radical
Republican Of the North. He never
will consent to sheath the sword until
the sword has fulfilled its mission"

JEFF. DAVIS AND THE CAPITAL OF
THE SOUTHERN GOVERNMENTAL let
ter from Montgomery, in the Charles
ton Courier, says:
"Mr. Davis has no intention of join
ting the army, though there is great
speculation about bis going to Virgin
ia within a few weeks, having in his
train the Congress, the Departments,
and, il fact, all the machinery Of gov
eminent. The best informed officials
thinks that the removal will surely
take place. At all events there is so
much dissatisfaction with Montgomery,
that the seat Of Government cannot
remain there long. 1t may be changed
to Huntsville or Atlanta, but the Con-
gress will probably indicate Virginia
as the State, and Richmond as the
Capital"

''About twenty runaway slaves arri-

escaped negroes have made their way
to this city. They appear to fully un-
derstand the present situation Of af-
fairs, both North and South, and state
that there are thousands more deter
mined to risk their lives for liberty"
The Philadelphia Press says l.:
1T IS fair to compute that two hundred
negroes have. passed through this city
alone since Fort Sumter was captured.
None OF the runaways Lave been re-
TUNED, nor is Improbable that they will
be under the existing state Of affairs in

for more liberal supply of each stock which las APP

firm in anticipation of the corner which
on Saturday at the opening Of the books and sold at 10

that The auticipaonS in regard to corners are seldom
realized. Some leaky member of the clique generally
supplies the shorts and leaves his fellow spectators

The payments yesterday at the Sub Treasury on
OF the new loan about $500 900. These payments
cause no change in the money market but will largely
