MCCLELLAN NOT TO BE ISTERFERED WITH.
The Washington correspondent of the Phila-

An extraordinary Cabinet meeting was held
last evening, from = till 10 o'clock, at which
| Generals Mcclellan and Mcdowell were pres
ent General Mcclellan stated his plans IN de-
! TAIL and he has. by consent of all parties, as
sumed, not only nominally, but actually, the
/ entire control OF the army of the Potomac
He will consult and listen to the opinions and
advice Of General Scott and other authorities,
but he must be henceforth left entirely to his
own judgement and decision Napoleon-likc,
he hears the opinions of others, but forms his
own conclusions and acts upon them. He asks
this and it is cedcd cordially to him. To him,
| therefore, must hence be credited the success

SrARTLiSG INTEA;I;iESC 3.-An extra train
arrived here yesterday morning from Col 'sboro
bearing dispatch from Gen. GltIin to Gen.
Hill, Col. Singletary and other officers in com
mand in this section, which he had received
from Gen. i1ugcr of Norfolk to the effect that Il
large Federal feet has left y N.w York for an
attack on this place and Fort Macon. The
information seems to have reached Gen. HUI
ger through a channel not altogether reliable
but supported by circumstances which dEd
not Justify inattcntion to it, hence he commit
nicatcd the information to Gen. Gltlin and he
urges upon the officers in command here to
push forward the works with all possible speed.
We think this is right, but, at tho same time
would as soon think the attack would fall about
Norfolk or somewhere on the Potomac. 1t may
be Il fcint.

It is stated that 1000 applications of res

vices without pay or reward, 50 long as
needed, lay on his table at one time. The
police force, composed of 600 men, has been

there being less drunkenness and rowdyism
than has been known for years.

DARING AND BRILLIANT EXPLOIT OF 81
KENTuoKIANs.-A gentleman from Noun
Vernon gives us the following account of a
brilliant exploit of twenty armed men,
at point opposite Mount Vernon A man
living there, who owns the Mount Vernon
Ferry, had erected on the Kentucky side of
the river a handsome pole. At the time of
the q raising" the Union men of Mt Yer
non went over and assisted, and were pres
emf when the Stars and Stripes were run up.
The news of an American flag having been
raised upon the sacred soil of Mr.. Bur-
nett's District, the Southern heart of Union
town was fred, and an expedition was
at once gotten up to vindicate the honor Or
the district aud take down the flag. Accord
ingly twenty-seven men, armed, equipped
and mounted, left Uniontown one night tins
week, and at daylight drew up in battle ar
ray before the mans door who had dared TO
plant flag in Union county. Part of the
force began cutting down the pole, when its
owner appeared with rife and expressed
determination to hurt somebody" It
was suggested to the patriot that twenty
seven to one was heavy odds. This view of
the case striking him forcibly, he stood quiz
city. by, while the scoundrels cut down his
pole, captured his flag, and rode of, after
giving three cheers for the Southern Con-
federacy
Ii is against such wretches as these the
Union men in Kentucky have to contend.
Traitors, not only devoid of honesty, but
towards withal, who prowl about the coun-
~ capturing flags and terrifying women
and children.

STATE LoAN.-The Indianapolis Journal
urges the Directors of the Bank of the State
to take $780, 600 of the State loan at fair
rate. 1t argues that, as a measure of pro-
lection to the Bank, it could take no wiser
step than to come forward promptly and as
sst the State in its efforts to uphold the
Government. The Journal places its sug-
gestions before the Directors as follows:
The Bank is we'll able to take $500, 600
of the State loan. Its condition is abund-
antly safe, and such a use of its means will
not weaken it now, we are confident It
ought to deal literally with the State, for
the State has dealt literally with it. To
refuse to aid the Government at all, or to
do it only with an eye to heavy profits,
would be the surest way to weaken it.
There is gread deal of keen, sensitive pa
triotism among the people of Indiana Just
now, and they would feel very little respect
for an institution or a man who could take
advantage of the States necessities, or re-
fuse to aid her. Other States have had their
loans taken at par by the Banks, and there
is no reason visible to our eyes why Indi-
ana should be worse off. Let the rebellion
prevail, and the Bank will lose more than
$1,000 and will not have any States
pledges to show for it either. The privi-
ieges it enjoys give the State claim on its
help, and we trust the claim will not be ig-
nored.,
