The Position Of Our Army.


An unbroken chain of pickets now extends
along the Potomac from Hsrper's Ferry to
Washington. Rumor has it that the troops
marching this morning expect to be joined
to-day by other regiments of Gen. McCalls
command, and by one or more batteries of
rihed guns. It has been understood for some
days, however, that Gen. Mcclellan has been
preparing to aggregate, as far as possible,
the troops of each generals command, to-
pether, and these movements look as though
th.y are but to that end, so far as General
McCalTs command is concerned.
There are already up the river two Mime
sofa and one New Hampshire regiment, with
artillery, which form portion OF the col
IN Of Gen. Mccall, who will be in ample
force to punish severely any possible expert
ment the enemy may essay by way Of at
tempting to throw a body of troops across
the Potomac; which we do not believe he de-
signs trying to do.
We place no confidence in the shiftings
of small bodies of the enemy in this vicinity
as signs of their purpose of attempting tc
cross the Potomac or to attack our lines OF
the other side Of the river. We think they
mean simply movements to occupy some
what advanced positions, similar to the
changes of various camping grounds of bo
dies Of our troops daily taking place; all o
which tend to strengthen their general po
sition for defence, and enable them sooner Il
dislodge the enemy from his advanced posi-
ton, when it may become necessary to dc

Country Before Party.

In our yesterday afternoons edition We
published, under the head of "a Gala Day al
RoOtstOwn," Portage county brief abstracts
of speeches made by Judge Day and Capt.
Ootter on the duty of loyal citizens to sup
port the Government in its present war with
traitors. They are unqualihedly opposed to
the compromising policy of the so-called
Democratic Convention, and enthusiastically
in favor of prosecuting the war until the
last rebel is disarmed. Both are-or have
besn-Demoerats, but their love of country
O7errules all party considerations. Their
sentiments viii be echoed by loyal Demo-
Gratis all over the State.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Special to Post:
Two regiments have been raised in New
Mexico for its defence. One, if not both,
are mounted troops. The Colonels are st.
Urain and Pino Lieut.. Colonels, Kit Car
son and Manuel Chavez. 1t is intended to
raise two more.
The statement that Prince Napoleon had
an interview with Gen. Mcclellan after his
return from Manassas, is entirely false.
The President is in excellent health. He
will not leave Washington this year.
Special to Commercial Advertiser:
The Government has sent orders to Cincin-
natl directing that Lieut.. Col. Tyler, Of the
rebel army, who was arrested in that city 4
few days since, shall be sent to New York
for detention at Fort Lafayette.
The War Department has been busy since
the adjournment of Congress, preparing for
the distributisn Of the laws recently enacted
for the regulation of the army.
Nearly all the commissions Tor the officers
of the army, provided for by the late in
crease, have been made out. The labor has
been great.

JsG. Davis on Rebellion.

When JEFF. Davis was Secretary of War,
certain troubles arose in Kansas. whereupon
Mr.. Secretary Davis wrote as follows to Gen,
Persifer F. Smith, then in command of that
department:
"The position of the insurgents is that Of
pen rebellion against the laws and consti-
tutional authorities, with such manifestations
Of purpose to spread devastation over the
lanG, as no longer justifes further hesitation
or indulgence. Patriotism and humanity
alike require that rebellion should be promptly
crushed"
Nol0, several States are in open rebellion,
with JEFF. Davis at their head, and the
Vallandigham and Manypenny Democracy
of ohio resolve, not that q ar.bellion should
be promptly crushed" but that National
Convention should be called for the purpose
Of agreeing upon compromise.

Rebel scare.

The st. Louis Democrat gives the follow
ing amusing incident, demonstrating the
''chivalry'' of the Missouri rebels:
On Sunday evening the steamer War
Eagle, from Cairo, arrived at Cape Girardeau
with several pieces Of artillery. A party Of
Eve men, with horses, started to take two Of
the pieces to the camp. Having been misin-
formed as to the proper road, they got three
miles out of the way, and towards the enemy.
At about o'clock at night they suddenly
met a company of at least fifty secession
cavalry, or mounted pickets, all of whom
at once reined up, wheeled about put spurs
to their steeds, and fed with the greatest
precipitation They had mistaken the artil-
lerists for the advance Of the grand army.
The latter were considerably sstonished at the
sensation they had innocently created, but
succeeded in regsining their road, and reach
ed their camp at l AN. This incident is
the only battle that has yet transpired in the
region Of Cape Girardeou.

SHERWns REGIMENT OF ARTILLERY
Captain Walter G. Sherwin-the inventor
of the Cincinnati Breech-L Loading Cannon

by the War Departmet at Washington.
He will return home to Cincinnati this
week with orders to organize and command
Regiment of Artillery, to consist of ten
Batteries of six pieces each,-in all sixty
guns.
Companies of Artillery-that have been
left waiting so long-vill nov have good
chance to be accepted, and go iato the service
of the United States direet-for three years
or during the war. Col. Sherwin is fully
authorized by the Secretary of War to accept
then at once without troubling the State
authorities, or ony other authorities and as
soon as accepted they will be mustered in,
and fully armed, uniformed and equipped
Each separate Company will be accepted and
sworn in ss sooR as it is ready, without wait
ing for any other Company, and the pay will
commence at once.
The Colonel is held personally responsible
for the competency of all the officers of his
command, and thereforeis instructed to refus 9
TO accept any one in whom he has not full
confidence. None of them will be able to
obta n their commissions without his sigma
ture. Companies viii therefore elect their
own officers, as usual subject only to the
above understanding. Companies must have
not less than one hundred men, nor more than
a hundred end ifty,-the latter number pre-
ferred.
The men shall be about medium size and
as near as possible about FIVE feet eight inches

tenants in each company, who WillCf course,
furnish their own horses, saddles, uniforms,
swords and equipments complete, at their
own expense. Non-commissioned officers
and privates will be furnished with every
thing at the expense Of the United States.
When companies are full and ready to hold
an election they will report to the Colonel,
and obtain from him written authority to do
so. Companies will organize according to
directions laid down in the Artillery Tactics
entitled I" Instructions in Field Artillery
A copy or two Of that volume to each COM
pany with facilitate the organization.
Companies win pay their own expenses
until mustered in. Col. SherWin is not
limited 70 the State of Ohio, but may perhaps
take company or two from other States.
The War Department wish to have the
whole regiment ready, If possible, by the
first Of September. CiHeianGti Gas.
