One would have supposed that no man
save rebel in arms, could take any ex-
ception to Mr.. Lincoln's message as being
extreme against slavery. We suppose the
fact is admitted that the President insist
ed upon the modification of the report of
the Secretary Of War upon the ''contra-
band" question. But little credit will Mr..
Lincoln get for his prudence, his modera-
tion, and for solicitude in reference to
the rights of the South that makes him
stand up SO straight for constitutional
rights, rs to be accused of even leaning
in its favor. The Louisville Journal COM
plains of the message as unsatisfactory on
the slavery question, and says the language
is an "indirect and unmanly concurrence
in the policy asserted recently BY Col.
Cochrane and approved by Secretary Cam
eron to the modification and shame of ev-
cry loyal man in Kentucky" vF 10 I'D

The Armies of the Potomac.

The armies of Generals Johnston and Beau regard have been temporarily combined, and styled the army of the Potomac. While uni ted for certain purposes they are still distinct as ever in their organizations and in the de- tails of command Gen. Beauregard is at the head of the first corps and Gen. Johnston of the second. While the latter is the ranking officer of seniority of appointment, and could, according to regulation, assume entire com mand of the army, yet. with that difference for the feeling and soldierly reputation of his illustrous cornrade, he has waived this right and remits to him the full enjoyment of all the authority and prerogative which he had ante rior to his own arrival at Manassa. The comand are in all essentials distinct, and no order of general character is ever issued by Gen. Johnston without full and free inter- change of opinion with Gen. Beauregard. To say that this conduct is not appreciated by Gen. Johnston without full and free inter- change of opinion with Gen. Beauregard. To say that this coduct is not appreciated by Gen. Beauregard would do gross injustice to the gallant officer, and it gives us pleasure to inform our readers that nothing can exceed the mutal feeling of afectioh respect aud confidence existing between our two distin- guished generals There is no clashing of authority, no heart-burning. Everything moves on in the army with the most perfect accord and good feeling.

Report of Col. T. J. Churchill.
CAMP ON WILSON CT

August 10, 1861 GENERAL.-I have the honor to report that about breakfast, the enemy opened one of their batteries upon my camp. Being in an open field and exposed to a raking fire of grape and shell and not supported by any of our own batteries, fell back to the woods, and there formed my Regiment, then moved down the road in the direction of Springfield. Having reached the hollow I was met by an Aid of Gen. Price asking for a endorsements to come to the support of Gen. Slack Iinsbant- ly moved up my Regiment to his aid amid shower of grape and musketry, and took my position on his left, and ordered my men to commence firing. We disputed the ground there with the enemy inch by inch for three or four hours amidst a most terrific fire from their battery posted on the hill Supposed to be Totten's) and continued voleys of musket- ry. 1 then encountered the forces commanded by Genl. Lyons in person, mostly all regulars with regiment of Iowa troops. The battle ragged fercely and the firing scarcely ceased for moment. The contest seemed doubtful. At times we would drive them up the hill and in turn they would rally and cause us to fall back. Atlength we give shout, made gallant charge and drove them over the hill. At this moment the Louisiana Regiment and Colonel nockerv's fanked them upon my left, made charge and drove them completely from the field. This was the last position they aban- doned and the last stand they made. In the engagement had two horses shot under me. The Adiutant, James Harper was shot down mortaly wounded at his post, sword in hand leading and cheering on the men. The Ser geant Mai. N. T. Roberts was wounded ill the shoulder while leading on the left. My volunteer Aid A. H. Sevler was wounded in the breast while encouraging our men to stand by ther coors and had to be taken from the field. The Lieut.. Col. Matlock, and Mai. Harper eyinced great bravery and gallantry in leading their different wings to the charge, and must say that no men displayed greater coolness than they did upon the field. Capt. McAlexander was killed advancing on the enemy at the head of his Company At the same time fel Lieut's. Dawson, Chambers and Johnson. Capt. Gibbs and Pearson, Lieuts. Wair and Head were slightly, and Capts. Ram saur, Porter, Lieuts. King, Adams, Sadler, Hardister, McIver and Raney severely wound ed Maj. Harper at one time was taken pris- oner by the enemy but made his escape. Capt. Reynolds was thrown from his horse early in the action, and was cut off from his company. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the officers of my command, for they were ever seen in the thickest of the fight cheering on the men who always gallantly responded to the call. lost in the engagement forty-two killed, and one hundred and fifty six wounded. I have the honor to be General,

PEACE Nor FAR OFF.-The New Yol Herald commenting upon the position of Eng land in regard to the blockade, says:
 What is the duty of the Government and tie people of the free States under these circun- stances? It is to put forth every effort to de- feat the rebel army in the next great battb. If this is done, a victory for the North is cer- tain, and the experience we have gained at Big Bethel, Bull Run and Davis Creek is not in vain. The next turn to win is rightfuNy ours, and old scores being thus wiped out, and the sting of Southern superiority in arms el- tracted, let arrangements immediately be made for the restoration of peace, instead of contin- ulng an insane and suicidal strife for the amusement of England, France, Spain and all the naval powers of Europe.
 Does the Herald expect that the Yankees will be permitted to whip next time, just be- cause they think it is their turn?

The saltis found in the Laguna Madre, once long narrow bay, but which has been cut off from the sea by the formation of bar During nine months of the year there is no rain, and the water which flows in from the sea is rapidly evaporated, leaving deposit of salt from one to two feet deep, of a quality equal to Turks Island. The Telegraph esti, mates that there are not less than thousand million of bushels of salt in the lagoon within reach of the rudest appliance for gathering.
