From INSTRUMENTATION Of JEFF
| Thompson.

CAIRO. Aug. 7. 1861.
Col. McArthur's Twelfth Regiment re-
turned from Cape Girardeau to day, from
their expedition to reinforce Col. Marsh.
The four pieces of artillery that they took
with them were left, at Colonel Marsh's re.
quest. To day the Empress, from Saint
Louis, brought down the Missouri Ninth
with two "a Founders.
Col. Marsh has now three regiments
his own, Col. Smiths, and one Missouri
regiment, and another to arrive on the
steamer January. They are strongly en-
trenching themselves, in favorable position.
Cape Girardeau is now safe from any force
Jeff. Thompson can bring against it. That
redoubtable JEFF. is still probably at Bloom.
field, forty miles west of Cape Girardeau,
whence he has Illuminated the following fors
midable proclamation
TO THE PEOPLE OF MISSOURI.
Having been elected to command the GAL
liant sons OF the First Military District OF
Missouri in the second war for inac oend-
ence, appeal to all whose hearts are with
us, Immediately to take the field. By a
speedy and simultaneous assault on our
foes, we can, like hurricane, scatter them
to the winds, while tardy action, like the
gentle South wind, will only meet with
Northern frosts and advance and recede,
and like the seasons will be like the history
of the war, and will last forever. Come
now ! strike while the iron is not Our
enemies are whipped in Virginia. They
have been whipped in Missouri. General
Hardee advances in the centre, Gen. Pillow
on the right, and Gen. McCulloch on the
left, with 10000 brave Southern hearts to
our aid. So, leave your plows in the fur
row and your OK in the yoke and rush like
tornado upon our invaders and foes, to
sweep them from the face of the earth, or
force them from the soil OF our State /! Brave
sons of the ninth district, come and Join us
We have plenty of ammunition, and the
cattle on the ten thousand hills are ours.
We have forty thousand Belgian muskets
coming but bring your guns and muskets
with you, if you have them; if not, come
without them. We will strike our foes like
q Southern thunderbolt, and soon our camp
fires will illuminate the Merrimand Nilsson !.
ri. Come, turn out! ae gash

The ravages and outrages of the rebels
in the part of Fairfax county, Virginia,
which they have recovered, since the battle
of Bull r un, are almost Incredible. AL
the male residents, regardless of age, who
decline to enroll themselves in the rebel
army, are seized and sent as prisoners to
Manassas or Richmond. Neither age, nor
infrmity, nor sex, affords any security
against insult or abuse. A resident oil
Vienna, who exerted himself in relieving
the wounded in the affair near that point
some weeks ago, and brought the dead to
Alexandria in his wagon, has been seized
and imprisoned for his humanity, and his
little son, only eight years old, is kept a
prisoner in the rebel camp, and not allow
ed to see even his mother, for having ex.
pressed the hope that the treatment OF bis
father would be avenged.

With the exception of handful of noto-
riOus malcOntents and disuniOnsts, the mass
of the Democratic members in both Houses
of Congress have evinced patriotic deter
mination to waive for the time, their poll.
tica hostility to the administration, and
forego all things else for the maintenance of
the government and the Union. Partizan-
ism has been swallowed up in patriotism.
In this noble spirit of devotion to the Su-
preme welfare of the nation the new Sena-
tor from California, James A. McDCugal.
as was predicted from his antecedents, has
been brilliantly conspicuous and, indeed, pre-
eminent He has boldly and frankly. sus.
tanned by his voice and vote all the war
measures OF the gOvernment-even the tariff.
Not that be has forgotten that he was a
Democrat. but above all things he has re-
membered that he is an American, giving
his whole heart and soul to the good cause.
CHARLES WILSON, a resident of this city,
was arrested as Union man in Richmond
several weeks ago. After a weeks impri-
SEDIMENT he Was discharged. He left Rich.
mond with companion at midnight, and
endeavored to make his way to the Ohio
He was re-arrested by o. Jennings Wise,
near Charleston, 10 the Kanawha valley.
There were fifty or sixty other prisoners.
He was kept a prisoner five weeks. Upon
the retreat of Wise, Wilson escaped to the
federal troops, and reached here, by way of
Cincinnati, on Saturday night. He reports
that Wise had impressed six hundred or
eight hundred Union men into his forces,
two hundred of whom deserted during the
retreat. The rebel army there is in mis-
cradle condition, and is subsisted upon
forced contributions from the people.
GENERAL MCCLELLAN is not only great
soldier but sensible man, and no better
proof could be given than his sitting for
nearly two hours to day under the steady
fire OF the imperial instruments of the re,
powned Brady. He was transformed from
real life into Photographic regions with
facility and precision that has made Brady
truly famous in all parts OF the world. The
adroit artist made the most of the occasion,
for finding the General patient and good
natured, be duplicated the picture in as
many sizes and attitudes as his ready inge-
nuity could desire. 1t will not be Brady's
fault il we are not as familiar with General
McClellan's fine features and manly form as
though we had known him for life. One of
the best is fine group of the General in
Chief surrounded by his staff, which is ad.
mirable for spirit and the fidelity of the
portraits. Mr.. Brady proposes to send this
