important expedition down the river. They
are up early and late, and straining every
nerve in forwarding the work of prepar-
alion. Tha, paper further says:
The expedition is rapidly organizing. L.
will consist Of feet Of eleven gunboats,
mounting over hundred heavy guns. th'r-
weight floating batteries Of 64columbi-

There are already one hundred and sixty
four pieces Of cannon at Cairo. none Of
which are less than 52-pounders, and over a
hundred tons Of ammunition have arrived,
and more are still arriving.
The military part Of the expedition WILL

WgsrEss yrasINIA IrExs.--It is reported
from the Eastern Kentucky border that the
Yankees are again advancing 70 force. IN the
direction Of Prestonsburg and Piketon. But
one regiment. the Fifty-sixth Virginia. had
reached the border. and Il is thought that
the force at Pound Gap, with that en- route.
would be totally inadequate to accomplish
anything. at present. towards an elective
movement.
We learn, from priyale letter received
in this city from General I.orings command,
that an attack was daily expected to be made
by Us on the enemy on Cheat Mountain.
The condition Of the Yankee troops occupy
ing Cheat Mountain 10 described as one Of
the creates, destitution and suffering.
The rumor that General Floyd has been
transferred 10 command in Kentucky is in
correct. The government has ordered Gen.
Floyd's command 10 Newbern. which is in

Presidents Message.

We present herewith the first message of Mr..
Lincoln So long as there are two parties IN
the country-one for and one against the sue
cessful candidate in a presidential election-it
is to be expected that executive documents will
be viewed differently by the parties respective
", according to their respective standpoints.-
This message however is an exception to this
rule. All men who are for the preservation Of
the Union who do not prize slavery before
freedom and the Republic founded by our faith
ers view this document of the President with
unmingled joy-as much as would be the
case were local municipal government to
manifest firm determination to suppress a mad
and destructive mob 1t is all that can be de-
sired by the patriot and christian-preeisely
what is necessary and appropriate to the emer-
gency.
After two such administrations as Pierce's
and Buchanan's land we might as well add,
the two next, Tylers and Filmores, it is tru-
Iy refreshing to hail the triumph and reign Of
moral principle and political integrity. Fill
more was not so bad as Tyler, nor Tyler so bad
as Pierce, nor Pierce so ba as Buchanan but
from the first to the last all these sixteen years.
and years preceding them were beclouded AMI
disgraced by the reign of the Beast. Not one
of these men regarded principle The first dis
graced himself, and showed his kidney, by
signing the infamous fugitive slave law-the
latter sold his country into the hands Of seces-
sionist thieves-and both alike obeyed the be-
hests of that great monster, whose cravings will
never be satisfied while single freeman is left
10 breathe the air of untainted Liberty, or q
green thing is left upon the face Of the earth
But Satan has been dethroned Washington,
where Satan'5 seat has been, for years covered
and bedizzened and smutted all over with the
SCOT and filth of slavery has been re-conquored
by the spirit of Liberty, Moral principle in
stead of unprineipled policy again occupies she
executive chair, and this message is proof Of
the fact. new era has dawned upon the ma
ton. all the more bright and more pure for
its Inauguration and baptism in bload just as
the nation was born by the same baptism The
Republic was born in '76. its regeneration from
the thradom Of Satan and depravity will date
1861 according to this theory whole life of
prin ipIa and devotion to its magnificent mis-
sion looms up in the bright future. In the fight
and discontinue of the Cog and Magog of slave
dom, before the great day of our country's glo-
ny, we see the salvation of man; just as in the
destruction Of sin. The present is no common
time Satan has been dethroned, and secession

tate's forces making fight and ',having great

Later Rerorts rom Col Size

ST. LOUIS, July 10.-A special messen-
ger arrived here this evening by the Pacific
Railroad, with dispatches from Col. Sigel
to Adjt. Harding. at the Arsnal The
following abstract vas written at Rolla for
the Democrat:
On the morning of the 9Th, Col. Sigel,
with portion Of his regiment and part
Of Col. oalomon's, and III pieces Of artillery
IN all from l1O0 TO 1900 men, attacked
body of 5000 rebels under General Rains
and Colonel Parsons, about seven miles
east Of Carthage, on the prairie. The en-
envy had five pieces of cannon and many
mounted men. eigel began the attack at
half past niue in the morning breaking the
cncmy's centre thrice. and after an hour
and half S fighting, silenced their artll!-
cry. The rebels had three flags, ole Of
the State OF Missouri. which WAS left I'M
harmed, and two secession flags, which
were twice shot down and raised 10 more
In the evening they attempted to out
flank our troops with their cavalry, and
cut off our baggage. But Col, Sigel made
a retreatmg movement, keeping up con-
slant firing, and ordered the baggage train
III adVaL c., which was formed into columns
with battalion OF Infantry, supported by
four pieces OF artillery in the rear of each
body, AID the remainder of the artillery in
front and Oh tiauks. The rebels then at
tempted to cut of his communication with
Cartilage, with their cavalry, but our ar
tlllcry took them at cross fire, which PLAYED
havoc In THEN ranks, and Slgel iell back On
Carthage; the eLemy still harrassiug his
tanks up to the town, where another stand
Was made. Tie rebels being il possession
OF the place, slgel then surrounded the
town, throwing shot and grenades into the
enemy cayall y and using Ills infantry with
great effect
Wine attempting to reach the adjacent
woods, to prevent tue use OF cavalry, the
rebels made their most serious attack and
the blopdiest part OF the battle was io'&.
The enemy were however finally routed,
aud forced to Withdraw their forces. ST.
gel then fell back on Mount Vernon,
where he could be supported. Come cap
tured officers were taken about 5 clock.
They reported the loss at near $50 on
their part, but as tie seyerest fighting was
done subsequent to that hour, it is believed
their lyss is considerably greater. 45 pris-
oncrs in all were taken. Our loss was s
killed and 10 wounded and missing.
