NEW GRENADA.-The steamer Golden
Gate arrived from Panama, on Thursday
evening, with highly important intelligence
from New Grenada. The report of the taking
of BOgOta, the capital, by the revolutionists
under Mosquera, is confirmed. A battle
was fought on the 18th of July, resulting in
considerable loss on both sides, but Mos
guerra was victorious, and took several Gen
erals aud the principal Government officers
prisoners. Mosquera is now master of all
the States composing the confederacy, ex-
cept Panama, and it is supposed the latter
will declare for him.

INCOMPETENT OFFIcERs.--The orders from
Washington-that officers of the army must
know something-that before men are entrus-
ted with the command of others, they must
know how to command themselves-are said to
be "creatng much alarm i'll so-caled military
circles, and Scott and Hardee arc studied as
they never were before" The World says
"It is sincerely to be regretted that Govern
ment did not, from the start, exercise some SUI
pervisory restraint over the volunteer regiments.
1t is notorious that several commands left this
city totally demoralized on account of the in
efficiency of their officers, but it was to be ex-
pected from the system under which the various
corps were formed

THAT ORDER.- The Order of Gen. Sum
her, noticed in our last, to the effect that
no Federal troops in the Department of the
Pacific should ever surrender TO rebels,
seems Ikea bit of bravado. Il appears,
however, that the meaning of the Order is,
that should any traitorous officer attempt
TO surrender bis force into the hands OF
rebels, the troops are 10 refuse 10 obey
him. In this view, the Order was entirely
proper, and perhaps not uncalled for.

Unionists in that State.

it, says: "Gen. Fremont, who has French

any one can save the American Republic it is

it is he also. He will prove himself either its
Hochc or its Bonaparte."

A SINGULAR CAsE.--A man named Whit
worth, resident of Washington Territory, was
taken to Ringo's Hotel, Victoria, on the l4th

skin moist, respiration easy, pupils of the eye
natural, and pulse at IS. A light snoring was
noticeable at times; the eyes remained partially
closed, and no uneasiness was manifested. For
twelve days he remained in this condition, du-
ring which time he took only about eight oun-
ces of nourishment, in the shape Of beef tea and
brandy He expired on the afternoon of the
Goth ult. The doctors who were in attendance
upon him made a post mortem examination,
and discovered the arrangement to be caused by
water on the brain. Previous to this last attack,
he had been subject to the same sort of derange-
ment, none lasting over thirty-eight hours; and
although extremely weak for day or two af-
terwards, appeared to experience no other bad

Greeley on the Cabinet.

The New York Tribune, referring to a
letter from its Washington correspond
ent, thus comes down on the Cabinet,
and at the same time indicates the spirit
that moves the Black Republicans of the
Northern States:
But the most startling point of our
correspondents letter is the statement
that no rigorous military movement is intended
by the Administration, or, to speak more
exactly, by the Cabinet. The war is to
be dragged along until the people, weary
of armies without action, and taxes with
out triumphs, can be brought to consent
to some compromise like that Of Mr..
Crittenden. If this purpose, or anything
approaching it, is really entertained by
the Cabinet, or by any members of it,
we wsrn those gentlemen that they can
not much longer remain in the service
Of the United States. Indeed they
might as we'll begin to pack their trunks
now.

A Prediction Verified.

The valiant james Watson Webb, Edi.
tor of the New York Courier and Enoui.
rer, predicted twenty-five years ago that
the triumph of abolitionism and the dis.
ruption of the Federal Union thereby
would produce the very results which ore
now trarspiring in the North. Read the
following:
Our exports and our imports would be
reduced nine-teths; nine-tentbs of our
shipping would be rotting at our wharves
nine-tenths Of cur population. now sup
ported by commerce and wealth it pro.
duces and the industry it diffuses, would
be driven to agricultural pursuits; tho
staple articles of Northern agriculture
command but small prices abroad, and
they would find but few customers at
home; grass would grow in the streets OF
our cities and villages, and q general
scene of poverty and desolation would
follow our present. unexampled prospect.

would result from triumph of the Adolf

In reply to toast-To the health OF

Mr.. Cameron responded. He said he
could scarcely realize that by the Secre-
tary of War he was meant himself, for
it seemed but brief period since he
was journeyman in the Office of his
friend on the right-Col. Seaton. Speak
ing Of the war, he said that though not
three months had yet elapsed since its
inception, a quarter of million of vol
unteers were in the field, and in six
months the number will be increased to
half o million. The deluded beings in
the South, whose incidence we have
borne for quarter of century, must be
subdued, and the President will not let

Secession in Illinois,

One Of the editors Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, who is at present in South
ern Illinois, writes to that paper as follows
A SECESSION NEIouBoRHooD.-
miles East of Carbondale lies the town OF
Marion, the hot bed of secession in Egypt,
from whence a company of ragamuffins
left not long since. There is no doubt
but there is a strong secession feeling in
parts of Southern Illinois. While but
one organized company has left the State,
recruiting for the Confederate forces has
been and is yet carried on in portions of
Southern Illinois, and large numbers have
quietly left the State in squads of half a
dozen, and gone to Memphis. 1t will
need few hangings to put an end to
this.

An Item from WASHINGTON,

The Washington correspondent of the

ing to that paper:
i have good reason TO believe the Presi-
dent Seward, Cameron and Scott, still ia
vor q peace policy; but Old Satan Blair,
Greeley and Chase, who are already "pipe-
laying" for the succession, override them,
and control the cabinet by Outside pres
sure" Old Chepultepec is suspected OF
intentional !ukewarmness, and am OF
the opinion the blood-letters are right.
Mark my prediction: Seward will win
yet, and there wiNbc no serious fighting. The
petty diminishing that has taken place is
part of his programme TO amuse and hold
together the ran k and file of the Repub.
lican party, and to pecuniarily reward
them by contracts, salaries and tinsel, for
their expenses and labor in the late cam
paign,
