How the Message WAS Received.

49, WASHINGTON, July 8, 1861.
The message WAS received by the Senat,
near two O'Clock, and was Immediately read
1t was not distributed in printed copies sim.
uItaneously TO the Senators, as usual, and
consequently was listened to with breathles,
attention by those on tho floor and by the
dense crowd in the galleries. No demon
stratlons were made, though it was apparent
to all that it gave universal satisfaction
There was an evident disposition to applaud
the passage relating to tho increase of the army
and the loan, but nothing intruding on the
proper decorum Of the Senate occurred.
In the House 1t was quito different. The
passages alluded to were not only vecferous.
ly appaudcd Oh the floor, but the galleries
thundered out their notes of approval. The
distinction drawn between tho patriotism of
the common soldiers, and the trcachery of the
officers OF the army and navy, was so mark.
ed and striking that its effect was thrilling.
1t may be safely doubted if any paper ever
from the executive which gave such
general satisfaction. There was one sipnifi.
cant remark which was heard about the halls.
in the galleries, and on the street, and that
was: abraham Lincoln wrote that message"

4 Threatened Rebellion.

If Gen. Scott don't do somthing before
long TO appcaso those of orr brethren who
are clamoring so loudly and SO constantly
for forward movement Of the army, we shall
have an open rebellion amongst them. Know

abont the management of a campaign-hav
ing had 50 much mere experience than he has
IL military matters--understand 50 much
better whist is required to move successfully
and cxpeditousIy an immense army, and be.
ing so much more familiar with the condition
and position of the rebel army, it is natural
that they should refuse any longer to submit
to the dilitory policy of Gen. Scott. What
right had he to keep large army loafng a.
bout Washington for weeks under the prctext
that they are not sufficiently drilled, or ell
armed, or because he has not transportation
wagons. lie has no right to get ready be.

The Traitor NIaroHin.

Though Kentucky claims to occupy ncu

other officers, are amongst the vilest trai.
ters in the Union. Letters received in Wash
iugton from Kentucky discloscs the active
completely of Governor Magofliu with the ieb

are daily closeted with his, and courers are
constantly going between him and the rebel
leaders at Richmond lie is upquestionaby

els are bolder AMI more insolent in the city
of Louisville than in Baltimore There is no
Union force there TO cheek their operations,
and they openly make arrangements to fur

COBB AND COTTON.

The rebels propose to bay one half the cot
ton crop. Tho cotton obtained from the
planters is 10 be sent to one point, probably
New Orleans. Mr.. Cobb then expects to say
to England, awe have gathered one hal
crop at one point; you must raise the block
ade and let it out" If England's necessities
are so great as to impe her to such an act,
Cobb expects then that the remainder of the
crop will be sent forward through the same
direction by the planters, and thus the entire
crop will be sold and the cash realized. 1t
is the key of Cobb's scheme. The prospect
Of such market induces the planter to give
the rebel Government one half Of his crop,
While concentration induces England TO risk
war with this country. This is the way in
which cotton is expected to prove its is king

distinguished gentleman to you.
General Scott then came Orward, when he
was cheered with the most deafening ap.
pIause. The old general, the bulwark of the
nation on this threatened time of demolit ion,
bowed his Acknowledgements to the onthusas.
TIC people below him, and his eyes met the
upturned gaze Of the vast crowd and arked
the tervor of their feelings in eyes that gleam-
ed with groatiul emotion, and on shouts that
proclaimed a peoples thanks for peace pre-.
served and Union saved. He must have
fe rewarded for the great services be ha
