Gen. Rosencranz's Command.

A letter to the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can gives the location of the headquarters
of Gen Rosencranz:
The Commander. in Chief of this depart
ment is at Clarksburg. He established him.
self there three weeks ago Friday last, and
he has been in daily communication with
every detachment of his division. He is in
constant communication with his most ims
portant posts, and not even squad of green
recruits has had the misfortune to be sur
rounded or cut off.
Lee is undoubtedly posting himself on
the other side of the Great Greenbriar
mountains, with the Covington and Ston-
lngton Railroad for base line, covering
sundry strategic points. His army, accord
ing to reports of the Confederate troops of
the line, militia and Union Virginians, who
have been pressed into rebel service, is va
riously reported from ten to sixty thousand
men.
scarcely need report that Gen. Rosen.
cranz is fully conscious of the responsibility
of his position. His activity and energy
are certainly assuring to the army. 1t is
only from those remote from the field of Op-
erations that even whisper of alarm is
heard.
Our frontier pickets are posted consid.
cradle distance beyond Huttonville, within
fifteen miles of the rebel pickets, and col.
lisions in this and other directions are be-
coming frequent, attachments from our lines
usually being the attacking parties.

Conspiracy Against the Gear.

From letter published in the Paris pa
pers, and containing the most circumstan-
tial details, it appears that at ST. Peters.
burg tragedy was on the point of being
enacted, the effect of which, had it been
accomplished, would have spread over at
least half of Europe. The writer says
A plot against the life of the Emperor
Alexander, as well as against the lives oil
the different members of the Imperial fami.
ly, has lately been discovered, in which
some of the highest members of the nobili>
ty and State functionaries are implicated
For some time past the house of a great
functionary has been the rendezvous of a
large number of persons, who assembled
there under divers pretexts. They were
for the greater part government functiona.
res, retired officers, landed proprietors, dis.
contented with the late reforms, and indi-
viduals belonging to the various coteries
into which the court is now divided. These
personages, it is stated, became the centre
of conspiracy which aimed at the lives OF
the Emperor and his children, as we'll as the
establishment of a constitution. The com.
plcity of two ladies of the highest rank
shows whom the conspirators had in view
as their future Gar.
Relations were also formed with some
exiles, who were brought round by the
promise of the immediate proclamation Of
liberal constitution. A Senator, on &C.
count of the favor they enjoyed at court,
was considered to be the most fitting inter-
mediary between the different malcontents
and the correspondence on the subject was
carried on through him. However, the fire.
quency of the meetings drew the attention
of servant to them, and gossiping pro-
pensity on his part was the means of put
ting the police on the track, which they
pursued by the Emperor's orders, with the
greatest circumspection. The letter further
states that several persons who visited the
reunions were suddenly dismissed from their
situations. This had the effect of at once
arousing misgivings that they were discov-
cred. Some strove to quit the country, and
the ringleader in the plot became utterly
deprived of reason.
When all this was known to government,
M. Patknl, the chief of the Russian police,
paid domiciiaro visit to the house of the
Senator, for the purpose of Selling all his
papers. While doing so, colonel in the
Russian army, and secretary to out of the
ladies in question, came and displayed an
order which empowered him to take posses
sion of the reasonable correspondence. A
warm contest ensued; but Patkul was the
victor, and in the papers which he found
was discovered the clue to the conspirac y
The two ladies were Immediately ordered
to leave st. Petersburg, and also forbidden
ever to return there. But the fate of al
the others has not yet transpired.

Incidents of the War

A correspondent of the New York Com
mercial advertiser writes from Fortress
Monroe, under date of August Goth, as
follows:
Poor, deserted village! It was sufficiently
desolate before, but now almost the last
remaining dwelling is ruthessly destroyed
by the demented secessionists. They think
by these treacherous burnings of their own
buildings to prevent the Union forces from
occupying Hampton for strategic purposes.
But they are entirely mistaken. We can
possess the site of the town again whenev-
er we please, and the ruins that remain are
the very things that are wanted for putting
up winter barracks for our troops. By a
small amount of wel-directed labor We can
in few days put up substantial quarters
for twenty thousand men in Hampton
Such is the delusion of treason.
AS a small party of US watched the fire
from the balcony of the U. 5. General
Hospital at Fortress Monroe, it presented
mournful appearance. The handsome
trees standing by the dwellings were wrap.
ped in the flames that consumed the houses,
some of them had shaded perhaps centu.
ry. Ex-President Tyler's Summer mansion
threw its dark shadow in the foreground,
while here and there the smaller homesteads
of the quiet village melted and sunk away
in the fire. What vandalism!
One old gentleman and lady who are
with us in the hospital, were only saved
from sudden and awful death by the kind
and energetic efforts of DR.. Smith an as
sstant surgeon of the United States army,
stationed here. Another aged Virginan,
who had been for some time quite sick in
/ his house, was so terrified by the scene that
he was paralyzed on all the right side OF his
body, and rendered utterly speechess. He
is lying in room near to my own, mere
wreck of man, scarcely able to move, and
still unable to utter anything but pteous
means. He can still hear pretty we'll; and
when call on him, and the fire is alluded
to, be will lift his wrinkled left hand from
the bed to a short distance, draw in his
breath as if be were inhaliug fame, throw
back his old hand on the pillow, roll his
dim eyes upward, lift his upper jaw as tar
as bis paralysis will permit, and lie there
weeping like child.
Two faithful negro servants attend him,
for his wife is dead. They both exhibit an
attachment to their afflicted master that is
touching to witness. They explain to me
his signs and motions. When he lifts his
left hand little way up, "that means" says
one of the attendants, "tbat be has two small
grandchildren away in jackson, Florida"
When be lifts the same hand few inches
higher, che MEANS" continues the nurse,
"that the people who fred his house, and
drove him out 10 the street, were the very
persons be had brought up from childhood.
That's what makes him feel 80 bad" The
old master hears every word the faithful
servant says, and the tears rain down anew
over his furrowed face. The servant wipes
the tears gently away, and softly adds,
"Don't cry, master-don't cry it's all over

From Washington.
WAsHrNaroN. August "A

/ Ats WASHINGTON, August "a. +
From review of matters throughout
McCle!lan's military department, l am sat-
lshed that the North may dismiss its fears
OF danger to the capital. The occupation
OF Sandy Hook by the rebels, which took
place yesterday, as l learn from private
sources, does not discompose Generals
Scott and Mcclellan. 1t was the natural
result of orders given General Banks to
fall back along the road to Frederick, and
then march to point on the Potomac near
Point of Rocks This movement is with
the view OF placing his columns in closer
cooperation with those of Stone, Mccall
ard Smith. The latter are variously To-
Gated at Pooleville, Great Falls, Chain
Bridge, etc., changing ground frequently,
and unconquerable by any force which
the enemy can bring against them" Again
let me be discreet as to the numbers and
locations of each division /; but l may say
that between Fort Washington on the
south, Frederick City on the north,
and our Arlington outposts on the
south west, one hundred and ten thousand
federal troops are under arms, and can be
concentrated in day at any point of action.
We are adding largely, also, to our artillery
and cavalry force. 1t Gen. Scott has made
any error hitherto, it has been in overlook
ing the essential part that these arms of the
service, especially the former, have played in
modern warfare. Artillery is General Nc
Clellan's favorite arm, and will be used in
the next battle, l predict, with terrible
thunder and effect.
The rebels may advance into Maryland,
via. the Potomac fords, as soon as they like.
think that Mcclellan would assist 5000
of them to make the transit if they would
only oblige hin so much. The other day,
ten rebel regiments, signalled on the shore
opposite the Great Falls, sent their shouts
over the ford, and gave indications of cross.
ing in force. Mccall was ordered to get
his division out of sight and offer no him
drance to their passage. If they had come
over they would never have gone back, ex.
cept as released prisoners of war. But for
some reason they were marched away, and
our General lost the chance of splendidly
recompensing the North for the disgrace Of
Bull Run.

A Danville (Ky.) correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing on the Goth
inst, says: .
On yesterday, at noon; 2l4 East Tennes-
seeans, refugees from southern tyranny,
passed through Danville. Their progress
was not that of loud huzzas and acclama-
tions, for spectator and refugee were filled
with emotions too deep for utterance. Els.
corted by large number of citizens, they
marched in silence through the streets to the
Seminary yard, where bountiful dinner
was prepared by the generous hospitality of
the citizens for their benefit. Not a shout
greeted them, but the mingled Indignation
and establishment that paled the cheeks of
loyal men and women, when they beheld
this evidence Of the tyranny Of the South
ern Confederacy, spoke volumes In behalf
of Union and Liberty.
The privations that these men had under
gone in making their escape, was clearly
shown by the worn and tattered appearance
of their clothing. Nearly all the men were
without coats--some with bare shreds of
shirts-others with pants worn threadbare,
while some were even without shoes. Many
of them had their guns with them, which
they had managed to preserve from the Wis
GLANCE of the patrols which were daily
marching up and down the Tennessee bor-
der to prevent such escapes. They had been
compelled to either acknowledge the au.
thority of the Southern Confederacy, or
seek safety in fight. Like noble and
true patriots, they preferred the latter,
and bidding last adieu to their parents,
wives, and children, they took to the
bushes and fed to Kentucky. Everybody
had fled in the night. Some of them were
men of property, but expressed fears that it
would be taken from their wives and chill
dren whom they had left behind, and ap-
propriated to the benefit of JEFF. Davis's
army. Said an old man who addressed the
crowd after they had eaten heartily, "they
told me must support JEFF. Davis, or leave
the country. fled through the mountains
to old Kentucky. For sixty years l have
looked up to them stars and stripes, (point-
ing to the banner,) and if the Lord lets me,
intend to look up to them for sixty years
longer" 1t was rustic language, but it
came from as true and patriotic heart as
ever beat in human bosom. Some OF
these poor fellows were deeply affected, and
unable from their emotions and choked ut
terance, to say more than that they had left
wife, home and children.

Missouri Items.

A correspondent at Ironton says that a
court of inquiry was being held there on
the 22d, by Colonel Fred. Hecker. The
causes Of complaint are not stated.
GEN. PRENrIss has selected for his body
guard Captain Delano's fine cavalry COM
pany, of Quincy. This is a fine selection,
as General Prentiss is personally acquainted
with nearly all the men in the company,
having known them from boyhood, and in
consequence will we'll know whom he is
going to rely upon. Besides, this company
is one of the finest l have seen in the SER

FROM GEN. PILLow.-A deserter from
General Pillows army came on board the
steamer Memphis, at Dog Tooth Bend, on
Thursday, and reports the rebels under
General Pillow as having advanced north
as far as Sykeston, with force of 100000
men, one-half armed and the balance poorly
armed and clothed. He states that 200 of
our troops on Wednesday morning attack

wounded 20, and took some guns. They
had also taken 20 more horses of the rebels.

Shocking Murder at Athe IS.

From the Chicago Tribune, 9th.
Yesterday intelligence reached this. city
that murder had been committed at
Athens, in this county, twenty miles from
this city; the parties being irish, and the
affair the sequel to drunken row. The
murderer, Michael Raines, on Saturday
night had been drinking freely with one
John Kahn, both employees at the stone
auarries. They were having their bout at
a doggery kept by Mistress Foley, and
fought over their tipple, but made it all up,
and Kahn left the house.
After getting short distance be return.
ed again and attempted to enter the house,
but in doing SO was resisted by Raines and
Mrs. Foley, though Intellectually as would
appear, for, forcing his admission, the fight
again opened between the two men, and
nearer, clearer, deadlier than befere."
The neighbors were called out by cry
from the woman Foley, and Kahn was seen
holding his adversary down, and pound
ing him severely. A man named Morrison
ran in and pulled Kahn of, when Kahn ran
out of the door, exclaiming that he was
killed, and, after proceeding few steps,
fell dead.
He was found to have received three
stabs from bis adversary either one of which
must have proved fatal. A post norton
examination was held by Drs. Hall and
King, and one wound in the abdomen and
two in the region of the heart were found
to have been inflicted by knife. Raines
fully confesses the deed, and surrendered up
the knife with which the murder was &C.
complished.
The most intense excitement prevailed
throughout the community at Athens yes
terday, and only with difficulty were the
heated crowd kept from taking the murder
er out of the hands of the officers and hang
ing him on the spot.
The prisoner was brought to this city and
lodged in the Jail, and an examination will
be had to-day.

1t is stated by Washington correspon-
dents to the New York papers that the
Government has reliable information that a
quarrel has broken out among leading trail
tor of the Confederacy that promises to be
disastrous. The belligerents are Toombs
and the Virginians and North Carolinians
on the one side, and Davis, Wigfall and ex.
tremists of South Carolina on the other.
The complaint among the disaffected is that
Davis is making rather fast to the legiti-
mate results Of treason, the abrogation of
State and individual rights.
