Special Despatch to Chicago Post.
CAIRO, May Is. 1861.
The weather to-day has been remarkably
fine. Hon. Emerson Etheridge, of Tennes-
see, and large delegation of Union men
from that State arrived here today, and
were handsomely entertained.
The steamer j. Fl. Dickey, from St
Louis. was stopped here to-day. She was
loaded with full cago of -four, bacon and
potatoes, for Columbus and Hickman.
Capt. Barker's company of Chicago
Dragons reached here last night; also a
partial supply of uniforms for the troops.
The army made a splendid appearance at
full dress parade this noon. The Ten
nessee delegation were very interested and
delighted spectators.
Mr.. Etheridge says that be will 20 back
and tell the people of Tennessee that these
troops at Cairo intend not only to preserve
the government and the Union, but to pro.
tect the rights of all men and citizens in the
republic.
He says that the hearts of the people of
Tennessee are really for the Union and the
Government. The Tennessee delegation are
highly pleased with their reception and en-.
tertainment here.
Over one hundred arrivals at the St.
Charles today, and Cairo and the camp are
alive with enthusiasm and animation.

A Great Southern Blunder Confessed
The Pensacola correspondent OF the New
Orleans Crescent says, under date of May 3:

The Pensacola correspondent OF the New
Orleans Crescent says, under date of May 3:
"The greatest biunder, or the greatest
misfortune, which has occurred to the Con-
federate States, since their glorious move
ment commenced, was the failure to occupy
Fort Pickens when this Navy-yard was
taken possession of by the troops from
Florida and Alabama The strangest part
of this affair is that this omission was freely
discussed and commented on in the Navy
yard by the officers, ard was desired by the
United States officers, and by none more
than Slemmer, who occupied Barrancas,
and who never moved to Pickens until Or
dered to do so from Washington. There
was an ample force here to take and occupy
the fort. This could have been done by the
volunteer companies in this county, as Slem-
mer had but fifty men with him, and long
after Pickens bad been occupied by him the
fort was deienseless, the guns not being
available. fear that the source of this
great blunder was that obstacle in all revO.
lutlonary neutrality-suspicious."
Through this fort the route is open for
the United States troops to Mobile and
Montgomery, Alabama. This route may
be Travelled one of these days.

From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A gentleman who spent all of Monday at
Harper's Ferry, passed through this city
last evening, westward. We learn from
him that there are about seven thousand
troops there, and that more are hourly
arriving. They expect an attack from the
forces OF the government and are industri-
ously preparing to receive it. They are
throwing up earth-works on the MARYLAND
side of the river, constantly employing $50
to 200 men in that duty. The railroad
bridge is mined and ready to be blown up
on the approach of the foe, and the side of
the mountain, as our readers will remember,
is at that place almost perpendicular, the
railroad and canal hugging the last. Over
these, huge rocks have been 80 skillfully
piled that they may be toppled over by the
strength of single man, and thrown down
upon whatever may be passing beneath. The
attack is expected from the Relay House
and toward that point most of the defensive
operations aimed. Our informant, roaming
about on Monday, assembled several elevated
places in the vicinity, and had a full and
perfect view of all that is going on.
The machinery of the armory is being
moved as rapidly as possible to Staunton,
where it will be set up anew, and the manu-
facture OF arms recommended. Many of
the old w0rkmen are left in the vicinity and
they are being pressed into the service, some
by promises and Others by threats. 1t is
said that $4,000 troops will concentrate on
that spot and it is further said, that Lieut..
Fauntleroy, of the Confederate army, has
left the Ferry with detachment to take
possession of Grafton, the junction of the
Northwestern Virginia road with the Bal
timore and Ohio. The rebel forces are not
well supplied with neutrality-suspicious.
caps being their greatest want. Small arms
and light field pieces are abundant. Pro.
visions ore also lacking. The drove of cat.
tie seized there will furnish meat yet
while, but the supply of breadstufs is ex.
ceedingly scant. The discipline of the camp
was lax. the troops seeming to make up in
Boosting what they lack in drill.
Our informant was carefully searched and
closely questioned, but as be had taken the
wise precaution to rid himself of all papers
which might reveal bis sympathy with the
Union cause and as be had influential
acquaintance in the army, be was suffered
to remain in peace. All trains passing
through are carefully searched and wo to
the luckless passenger who stops of there
without the ability to prove that be is
"sound on the goose" 1t is supposed by
our friend that the place is to be held as the
basis OF operations against Pennsylvania
but he does not doubt from what be saw
and heard as to the intention of the govern.
ment, that the rebels will soon be routed
and driven of.

CAMP DEFIANCE, CAIRO, MAY ID.
Your blood would boil if you should wit.
ness what l have witnessed. Persons are
daily arriving here who have been driven
away from the South-some for expressing
love OF the Union, and others for SAVING
that they did not wish to fight against us.
Many such have been whipped, scourged
and treated with all manner of brutalitips.
One man, Philadelphia, called upon Gen.
Prentiss and invited him to bis room in the
hotel, where be exhibited the welts and
wounds inflicted by those fends of rebellion
upon his person. The devils had not on,v
beaten him black and blue, but had slasbed
his arms and body with their knives. He
was the worst object ever saw. This man
was making collections in the south for a
Philadelphia house, and such was the paw
ment received from southern creditors.
The game of the villains is about up here.
Every traitor who makes his appearance is
arrested. We have one dirty dog from Co.
lumbus, KY, under arrest, who was one of
seventy-fve who took turns in lashing man
because be would not shout for JEFF Davis
flag. Mr.. Chivalry is gerry penitent, and he
don't hear pistol shot but be imagines it is
for him. This beauty came here to see what
the id AbolitiOnists were doing, and
was recognized by the victim, who reached
Cairo before. Victim wanted an even show
with Chvalry at any kind of fight, and
said if be did not kill him be would submit
to be hung the next minute. Chivalry did
not want to 6ght-there was not odds
enough-it was not seventy-ive to one If
General Prentiss had not arrested Chivalry,
he would not have lived half an hour. He
has been committed for future trial.
Every boat brings hundreds of people,
flying north for safety. Such is the state
of terrorism in the cities and towns below

The Administration is determined to place
in commission every available vessel it can
lay its hands upon for the purpose Of block
aiding the ports Of the seeded States, and
conveying troops from the loyal ports to
points OF attack.
We append table Of the vessels already
in use and soon to be used for blockading
purposes, together with the armament of
each. 1t does not embrace score of our
ships in foreign seas, which have been Or

Gus steamers and clipper ships which Gov
eminent is negotiating for, and perhaps not
all of the gun boats now fitting out. But
the list makes formidable feet, against
which the rebels have nothing to match.
