SIGNIFICAET.-A correspondent of the
World, writing from the Virginia side of the
Potomac, in Fairfax county, under date of the
9th inst, has the following significant para
graphs. Whatever else they indicate they
show very proper Circumspection on the
part of General Mcclellan and readiness
for any movement of the rebels:
These occasional moves of the army are
like the leaps of toad. A column remains
dormant for weeks, gradually swelling and
gaining in strength. Some dark night the
long roll beats at one A. NJ. before daylight
the entire force has jumped over the Poto-
mac, and is ready to leap on against the enc
my, or remain qulescent until the time for
another jump. The force, be the same more
or less, which thus crossed Chain Bridge on
Wednesday night, is already scattered among
these ubiquitous hills. All are forced to
bivouac through shower and shine, no tents
being raised to give the enemy's scouts @
clue TO our numbers. Meanwhile the high
est nights are already yellow with our en-
trenchments and grim with cannon. More
than all, connection has been established
with the northernmost regiments opposite
Georgetown, and thus, by this admirable
latest occupation Of Virginia. an unbroke1
line of soldiery and defenses are established
from Chain Bridge to Alexandria--a from
OF twelve miles
OF one thing can assure you. No availa
bic rebel force can successfully attack u!
here. We are already safe against surprises
can bold this position and send an army for
ward besides.

Important from MexicO-Tbe South Con-
sIders War Declared.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Ores
cent. writing from Matamoras. SAYS:

A correspondent of the New Orleans CTes-
cent, writing from Matamoras, says
The most important news have TO COM
war against the Southern Confederacy by
the Republic of Mexico. 1t is directly no
titled TO us through the State paper at Guam
ajuato, that Mr.. Corwin had asked and re-
ceived from the Mexican Government the
privilege of passing troops through Mexico
for the suhjugation of the South. That is
the language of this Guaneiuato paper, and
you can determine the meaning Of it as we'll
can myself. Old Abe has full permission to
march troops through Mexico to attack
Texas.
II is considered somewhat doubtful with
the Mexican authorities and the people gen.
orally that the above paragraph is correct
but must confess that place every reliance
in its truth. The permission thus obtained,
ofmarching to our attack, was part of Gem
eral Scotts programme; it was part of Mr..
Corwin's mission; it was q great diplomatic
movement.
While the permission which Mexico has
granted is altogether worthless, for no Fede-
raj forces will ever march through this coun.
try, 1t has the moral and political effect OF
placing the Confederate States in position
of hostility with Mexico, unless the South
has lost her self respect. You can do moth
ing less than to take steps to make Mexico
retTact this permission, or her consuls should
be dismissed at once, and strong military
force should at once be sent to occupy the
Mexican States on the Rio Grande as a Sc.
curity tor her peaceful conduct against these
frontiers

Staple, and Magoffin, captured some days
since, have been the principal instigators Of
SecessioDism in these counties.
The same messenger states that Colonel
Marshalps Illinois Cavalry had surrounded
six hundred rebels, under Captain Shelby,
a short distance below Lexington, and taken
the whole force prisoners. Shelby had two
cannon.
This latter report needs confirmation, but
1t has been known for several days that
Sheiby's band had taken position at the
place indicated, after abandoning the siege Of
Lexington.

A NEW WAY TO AID IN PASSING CoUN-
TERFEIT MoNEY.-Rogues are never at loss
for expedients to aid them in carrying out
their swindling transactions. 1t has been
ascertained that two men are engaged in the
passing of counterfeit bank notes, one of
whom dresses in the garb Of a laborer, the

to a few dollars, then offers one Of the coun-

Invasion of Kentucky,

The Frankfort Commonwealth of day before
yesterday says:
For months past the Confederate Govern
ment has bad armies all along the Southern
border of Kentucky, with the avowed object
Of watching the movements of our State, and
invading it and taking possession ofits strong
points the moment such movement was ex-
pedieDt. In accordance with this purpose,
Gen. Polk, with a Confederate army, has
taken possession Of ard is fortifying Hick-
man and Columbus, and was only prevented
from taking Paducah also, by the prompt and
proper action of General Grant.
General Polk has announced to the Gov.
ernOr and through him to the State, that he
will retire upon certain conditions. In his
dispatch to Governor Magoffin he says:
II am prepared to say that | will agree to
Withdraw the Confederate troops from Ken.

Of the Federal Government be Withdrawn
simultaneously, with guarantee, WHICH
will give reciprocally, for the Confederate
Government that The Federal troops shall
not be dtLo1ced to enter or occupy any point in

AThese conditions Kentucky can not and
will not submit to. She will never submit
to conditions which amount to rebellion, and
which take her ont of the Union by blood

in the Union; her people are loyal, and the

through General Polk, is not only insulting

condition, the Union party will be charged
with bringing war into the State. The charge

Our troops have evacuated Beacon Island

Just as the cars started to o-day, a Yankee
Captain and five men were brought here as
prisoners from Tar River. They had a
schooner freighted with shingles, ready to
sail to sea. The schooner, the Hannah
Balch, was freighted by merchant named
Hughes, of this place. These same prisoners
were brought here a month ago with a
prize vessel, and wsre permitted to go at
large on parole. They were about to leave,
therefore, under the authority of the citizens
of North Carolina. At the time they were
taken by the people of Washington, they
were engaged in taking soundings of the

WHAT RICHMOND JOURNALIST THINKs.-
We make the following extract from letter
written to the Richmond Dispatch from
Fairfax Courthouse, dated August 27:
Recent successful skirmishes have so en-
boldened our men, that on yesterday they
attacked the enemy's scouts at place called
Munson's Hights, within two and a half
miles of Alexandria and the Potomac River,
(from which view of both Alexandria and
Washington is plainly visible,) and, after
some sharp firing, succeeded in occupying it.
! The National scouts retired with the loss of
! several in killed and wounded; and, under
apprehension that our pickets would be at
tackled by superior force, large body oi
| troops have been sent to their assistance.
The above skirmish and advance are per-
haps the last of a small character that will
be reported to the Dispatch from Fairfax, as
/ have assurances, positive as indications the
most unmistakable can give, that our armies
are on the eUe of grand operations. Officers
and men have been notified to remain in theil
camps; no more furloughs will be granted
Regiments are being thToi0H tOrWard, and tn
distance betpeeR the army Of FdiLfdx and tn
Potomac River IS rapidly decreasing.
The brigade of General Lonstreet is hourly
expecting an order to march. The Firs
Regiment of Virginia Volunteers moved for

try. Groups of anxious soldiers aie every

the whole, in this respect, an improving ma

IMPORTANT FROM RosECRANs's DIVISION
A correspondent, writing from Charleston,
Kanawha, to the Louisville Courier, on the
9Th, says:
The military intelligence from Gauley is
important. II seems now to be certain that
Rosecrsns, by a cross march from Sum-
mersville, over a bad road, to TIE Kanawha-
turnpike, has got into the rear of Floyd, a
few miles above Gauley River, so as to pen
him up in the Narrows, between Cox's al
most impregnable position below, and Rose
crans's superior force above. Floyd is re-
ported to have seven thousand men, and
RosecraDs ten thousand. If these things be
So Floyd's army must be captured, unless by
an instant retreat and desperate attack on
Rosecrans's army, a part may escape. In
two or three days, probably, we shall hear
the result. have no doubt the battle began
10 day. Several small fights have occurred
within few days between Union scouts and
parties of Secessionists, on the south side o
the Kanawha, where the latter are numerous
and have formed bands of robbers and Inur
derers. At Boone Court, house they wer
| completely defeated few days ago.

ConstItntionnIL Learning

The rather novel view of our system of
Government presented by the President in
his Message of July 4, is beginning to at
tract some attention. In that document, the
Hon. Abraham expressed himself as follows:
'Our States have neither more nor less
power than that reserved to them in the
Union by the Constitution, no one of them
ever having been State out of the Union"
Whether the honest old gentleman picked
up this discovery in the course of some
what miscellaneous practice in the Court of
Commsn Pleas at Springfield, or found it
recondite in the Chicago platform, and
washed it out like grain of pure gold hid
in a square yard of gravel, does not appear
1t is said that several of his Cabinet lsbored
with him several days to get it out of the
Message, but in vain. With Old Hickory.
like obstinacy he stuck to his pet idea, and
carried his point. 1t is now, therefore, q
Republican principle, and it is the duty Of
Republican organs to support it.
