From CIraell RIver.

The Matte Cook arrived Sunday night
from Green River She returned from a
point several miles below Rochester having
been warned that the sacessionists-one
thousand stronghold that place. The
Union men had intercepted a messenger
who was bearing dispatches to the COM
mander of the Confederates troops on
Green River, authorizing the destruction of
the locks below Rochester. This would
indicate that our fears in reference to the
locks above Rochester, have been realized
and that they have been destroyed. The
lock at Rumsey was safe when the Cook
passed and would be defended by the Union
lists. She brought down seventy-fve
Union men to Spottsville, to guard the
locks at that place. We understand that
the Matte Cook will abandon the trade for
the present. : q - - 4 "a

BS~ The movement of troops from the
West to the East, is being severely censured
by the leading papers of the country. The
State of Pennsylvania, to whose high pro-
tective tariff notions we are in part indebted
for this war, and the States of New York
and Massachusetts, whose leading peliti-
clans have for years past in both Houses OF
Congress, done all in their power to aggra-
vate every difficulty between the North and
South, now stand back and cowardly re-
quire of the West the protection of the Fed
eral capital. The citizens Of the seaboard
towns pursue their accustomed ayocations,
and, as we are told by the New York Her
aid, are doing a better business than in
times past, while we of the West, cut of
from the ocean by a blockade Of the Missis-
sippi, are asked to leave our homes TO de-
fend their fresides. The people of the
West demand of those States the quotas ne
eessary to make up the army of 100000
men. If the Eastern men who have shown
themselves so valiant in words, are too cow
ardIy to volunteer, they should be drafted,
and relieve our regiments Of the duty of
protecting their frontier Within a week,
six of Fremonts regiments left him te rein
force the Indiana columns on the A1iegha-
MES. At the same time Eve new Texas reg
iments were on their way to Missouri
Eastern papers and correspondents are ind
ing fault with Fremont because Missouri
has not been reclaimed. The truth is that
when Gen. Fremont was prepared to aban-
don his defensive attitude and assume an ag-
gressive one, he finds his resources impaired
by draft Of troops from the East. -

1Q6 JOurnaA mas DeSu CeuSuISA W
several merchants in this city, for calling
public attention to their neglect. of duty in
not joining the Indiana Legion. The state
ment has been made upon the streets that
most Of .he leading merchants have business
to attend to- they have not the leisure time
10 devote to this unimpertant matter of de-
Tending the place. Those who have nothing
to do, who forsooth have also nothing to
lose, in the event of the destruction of the
city, should turn out and form regiment
of Home Guards to protect these gentlemen
so that their business may not be interfered
with. It is no time for men to stand upon
their dignity and attempt to shirk the
disagreeable duty of placing themselves
under the militia law of the State.
It is no time for men to boast
of what they haze done, The only
question to be answered now is-are you
enrolled among the State troops2 The
law makes the enlistment voluntary,
but public opinion will pass its Judgment
upon citizens who upon the miserable pre-
text of business, refuse to defend the
State liz this, her hour of peril. II it we're
not for the fact that the laboring men re-
fused to join the Legion, until those who
have property to protett are enrolled, we
might readily dispense with their services
and leave to the mechanics artizans and la
borers, who by their industry have contri-
buted more to build up the city than the
capitalists, the task of defending the point
against all corners. When it is said that the
clerks and mechanics are sufficient to de-
fend the town, the truth is fairly stated, but
when they refuse to come forward until
the merchants precede them, it IS evident
that any failure TO organize the regiment
must be attributed to those who thus stand
in the way. This is a plain statement of
the case. It is patent to the most superb
cial observer, that the regiment proposed,
cannot be raised without the assistance of
all classes of Rble-bodied men in our midst:
men, it would be well to close all the stores
from three to six P NJ, of each day, thus
giving tie clerks and principals in our
business houses ample time to perfect them
aelves in military drill. The plan has been
proposed by leading citizens, and it should
be acted upon at once. Nothing will be lost
by it-all the business of the city could be
transacted before three P. NJ, and the Lee
gion could be speedily made so efficient as
to render the detention of Federal troops
among MS unnecessary. We hope that this
plan-adopted several weeks since in Gin
cinnati-wiIl be at once carried out in Ev-
ansville. Let US all do our duty, and do it
at once. .eE
