A MILLION Man. By some process OF
shrewd engineering, two volunteer bills in
stead of one, have been passed by Congress.
BY each one of them the President IS author
lied to accept the services of SOC, 900 men for
the war. One Of the bills is supplemental to
the other and after referring to it, and to
the forces it provides, gives the President
power to call out, in addition to the troops
''now authorized by law" 100000 more
troops. Thus the President has power to
call into the field million of men. A mcm-
Der Of the Cabinet remarked today that it
was much to be hoped that there would be
no necessity for bringing into the field more
than the half million of men provided for in
the first bill but that if it proved otherwise,
if the war should prove long one, the Ad-
ministration would not hesitate to call out the
other half million, and even to ask for moro
if it should be necessary.

OLD MEN FOR CoUNsEL--YOUNG MEN FOR.
WAR.-The above adage is as good as it is old
and may well apply to our Generals Of to day.
Give us the caution of age to plan, butthc,
dash Of youth to execute. Old Generals in
the war councils, but young Generals in the
field. In our war with the South we must
have Generals who combine activity with mill.
tary knowledge, and better under 40 years
Of age than over 80. 1t is no reproach to our
present crop of Generals to assert that age has
disqualified them for 0ctire service. All the
most successful cheftains the world has seen
have been young mon. Alexander tho Great
conquered the world and died before he was
thrty-two. julius Caesar died at fifty six tho
conqueror Of five hundred battles Hannibal
won the battle of Gamma before he was thir-
ty-one. Chalemagne gained his battles be-
fore he was thirty-six at forty Henry Nv.
had overcome all his enemies and placed him
self on the throne of France; Charles IX.,
Peter the Great, Kossuth and Garibaldi won
their military glory in early life.
Frederic the Great, at forty three, with
population Of five millions, sustained himself
against q league Of one thousand millions.
Napoleon was communicative chief of the ar
my of Italy at twenty-six, and after he became
Emperor, the average age Of his marshals was
only fortyfour. The generals opposed to
Napoleon had been famous in their youth,
but their faculties were frozen by age."'
Wellington was the same age as Napoleon.
Washington opened most brilliant mill
tary career before he was out of his minority,
and at the close ofthe revolution was only 5O..
Perry fought the battle at Lake Erie at the
age of 27. .
Jackson's glory eliminated at New Orleans
at the age ~.

TELEGRAPHlC ITEMS.

FREDERICK, Nd, Sept. 16.--The Legis-
lature meets to morrow. There will not be
quorum. No secession ordinance is pre-
pared, nor will one be passed. The Mary
land secessionists have nothing to hope for
from the Legislature.
FREDERICK, Nd, Sept. 17.--Not more
than twenty five members of the two Houses
OF the Legislature are yet here. Both
Houses will meet and adjourn till to NOR.
row. The impression is that neither House,
for want of a quorum, will be able to tram
sact any business.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-THE name of the
killed and wounded at Darnstown have not
yet been received. The first account of the
affair was received by the Baltimore
american from an anonymous correspond
ent and was printed at too late an hour to
obtain any verifcation.
The Old Point boat has arrived but
brings no news of interest. The news of
the repuise of the rebels in Western Vir-
ginia, caused great rejoicing here among
Union men.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-THE anniver-
sary of the adoption of the Constitution is
being duly celebrated here. Statutes were
fired at sunrise and at noon. The Home
Guard also turned out and paraded the
streets, 1000 strong, escorting the orator
of the day, Hon. George NJ. Dallas, to In
dependence Hall.

After the fight at Lewinville, Beauregard

Owing to information received by the
Post Office Department that the Hannibal
and st. Joseph Road is entirely unprotect-
ed from the rebels at ST. Joseph and in
their hands, it has ordered the California
mail to be carried via Davenport and COun-

WASHINGTON NEWS.


WASHINGTON, Sept. Observation-Disclosures
ing the explanation made by the Spanish
Minister to MIR. Seward, on Saturday, the
reported proclamation of the Captain Gen
eral of Cuba, concerning vessels carrying
the rebel flag, occupies the attention of the
Department to-day.
The Postoffice Department has answered
all letters asking for information in regard

that not only Postmasters but all other
postal agents are prevented in anywise from
aiding in the circulation.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Special dis
patches to the Post report no important
movements on the other side of the Potomac,

Wis, or Beauregard, or Johnston, or all Of
them, have sent our prisoners to Castle
Pinckney, the nearest fort to the city of
Charleston, s. c., where fever prevails ex-
tensively at this season of the year. If our
officers whom they have taken prisoners and
confined in Castle Pinckney survive the
present season, it will be contrary to the
we'll known theory of Southerners, for they
have always asserted as reason why slave
labor must be employed, that Northerners
could not survive the malaria and fever that
prevail in that section. The rebels may
suppose that the confinement of officers OF
the Union army in Charleston may prove
protection to that place. We shall see.

The Dispersion OF Green's Rebel Force.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL.
The following dispatch was received to-
night at the headquarters of the army:
ST. Louis, Thursday, Sept. II, 1851.
To Col. E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjuaut General.
The report of Gen. Pope to-day from
Hunnevile says he made night marches on
Green last Sunday, who, however, got no.
tice of his approach, but was successful in
continuing the dispersion of 5000 rebel
forces, leaving behind them much baggage,
provisions and forage also, the public
property seized by Green at Shelbina. Gen.
Pope's infantry was too much fatigued to
pursue. The horsemen, however, followed
in pursuit ten or fifteen miles, until the
enemy scattered.
The railroad east of Brookield is open,
and no more secession camps will be made
within twenty miles.
Gen. Grant telegraphs that the first gun
is in position at Fort Holt, Kentucky.
