The D!1sveace.-An honest and
true Southern planter, who had fine
estates and numerous servants, who
"fared sumptudusly every day." left
his pleasant home, joined a volun-
teer company, and pledged his best
efforts and his life in defense of his
wife, children, home, servants, es-
tates, and country. His praises were
in every body's mouth, for he was a
true man, and did noble act. Rich
ly did he deserve all the honors he
received.
In the same company was an hon
est poor man, who had neither wife,
family, home, estates, nor servants to
defend. But he loved his country
and liberty, and hated his country's
oppressors. Like the rich man, he
was ready to suffer and die for that
country. He had much less to fight
for than the rich man, but he was as
brave, and as ready and willing to
fight and die. But the world has
never learned anything Of his name
or his fame. This man enlists from
pure love Of country and hatred to
her oppressors. He offers himself a
willing sacrifice in defense of his
neighbor's family, and others estates
and property. The rich man may
be as patriotic as he, but it is out Of
his power to prove that such is the
case. And the Southern army isfull
OF this kind of men. And when the
war is over, their rich neighbors
should remember them kindly. Let
justice be done to all true friends to
the South whether they are rich or
poor

| A gentleman who arrived at Mesn-
phis on the 5th informs the Bulletin
that there was great excitement at
CAIRO on account of the capture ef
the steamer Cheney. Says the Hal
letin
Our informant states that there are
no less than nine gunboats, or rather
nine steamboats, with guns uponthe.s
now at Cairo, and it was reported 1t
Columbus on Saturday that they IL
tended coming dawn and taking anv
of our boats which should venture
up. 1t was also said that Latimore,
the captain of the Cheney, had tele-
graphed to Cairo for them to cor.e
domn and take the S. III. Tucker,
but they did not attempt it. Lat
more, it is said, was particularly
chagrined because those who tool
his boat had no right to do SO, not
acting from instructions from anv
one IN authority. The names Of the
gunboats now at Cairo awaiting an
opportunity to 'tpick up" any of our
steamers are as follows: Lexington
Conestoga, A. O. Tyler, City Of
Louisiana, D. \. January, G. w.
Graham, Empress, Swallow and CITY
Of Alton. The last named boat. it.
is said, has steamed up all the time.
ready to run down and pounce upcn
any of our boats that may venture up
so high. In consequence of this
fact, the Kentucky did not go up be-
yond Hickman on her last trip up
the river.

Il Bad Pvacticc.-Under this head
the Savannah Republican has the
annexed well-timed remarks:
"a custom is becoming very much
in vogue in the South of politicians
raising regiments and placing them
selves at the head-or with the un-
derstanding that they will be placed
there-and taking thoroughly educa-
ted officers from the regular army for
iieuts. Colonels, Majors, and other
subordinate positions. We know
Colonels in the Southern army, who
six weeks ago We're profoundly igno-
rant of the mystery Of shoulder
arms = and yet are ambitious Of lead
ing the armies Of the Republic.
This is all wrong, and public SEN
timent, if nothing else, should put a
stop to it. Unskilled civilians who
place themselves or allow Others to
place them, in responsible military
positions, Of whose duties thoy know
nothing, do injustice to professional
soldiers, to the service and to them
selves. Nor can we see how well
educated can, consistently with a
proper respect for their profession,
consent to be placed in these subor-
dinate positions with superiors in au-
thority who are perfect dwarfs to
them in understanding. What esti-
mate must they place on their repu-
tations when they are willing to peril
them in time of battle upon the blum
ders of an incompetent leader.
There is no reason why the rules
of common sense should not apply to
the affairs of war as we'll as the af-
fairs of peace. Every man should
be in the right place, and no man in
a place for which he is unfit. We
are decidedly opposed to catering to
unreasonable ambition by jeopardi-
zing the result of this important war
upon the contingencies Of a different
philosophy, or no philosophy, or no
philosophy at ALL"

A Neac Plan to take Maryland cut
|gf the Lnto~.-A correspondent Of
the New York Tribune, writing from
Baltimore, under date Of July 29th.
says:
The Secessionists here are in high
feather at the prospect before them.
They affect no concealment of the
plan which jeff Davis has for forcing
Maryland out Of the Union, and trans,
ferring the battle ground to this
State. Their latest version of it is
this:
JEFF Davis is to send portion Of
his army across the Potomac, som.
where between Harper's Ferry and
Little Falls, and is to take post al
some point which they can fortify as
they have done Manassas Junction.
Several points are discussed, but tho
general opinion Of the sympathizer~
with this movement is in favor Of
Frederick Junction. The rebel arm.
is to make Il stand at the point che
sen in such force as to be able "a
maintain their position and their CON
munication with the Virginia side OF
the Potomac. Fortifcations are 10
be thrown up along the line of co1l.-
municatien, on the banks Of the river
and at the Frederick Junction. In
this way the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad is to be commanded.
The planting of the rebel flag on
the soil of Mary land, it is confident
ly believed and intended by the Sc
cessionists, will be followed by a "a
pid uprising and concentration of
their fortified encampments of those
80, 900 rebels, which Mr.. MAY boast.d
of in his late speech in Congress, aS
being ready to take up arms against
the United States. The legislature
IS to legislate the State out of til.
Federal Union and into the confede,
rate Union, and thus formally com-
plete the rebellion. The rest they
are willing to leave to the chances OF
war, hoping to save Baltimore by the
reduction of Washing IN, which thev
think will be easily aecomp}ished,bv
an attack from the rear. When ask
ed how jeff. Davis is to get his arm,
into Maryland, Wi h Gen. Banks a,
Harper's Ferry, they say that John
son will give him enough, from the
of Winchester, while Beau
regard will keep Mcclellan in check
IN front Of Washington, and that all
,hus engaged, Gen. Lee will slip over
he Potomac and seize the Frederick
Junction.

A COOP HlT.-It is said that Lord
Lyons on seeing the fugitive federals
making their way back to Washing
ton in forlorn fight from the field of
battle at Bulls Run, quietly remark
ed, that he hoped Mr.. Lincoln's gov

hard Of the British government for
recognising the Southerners as bellig-
ersnts' at least.

New York, Aug. 13.-The Cham
pion with California dates to the
2ast- has been signalled.
St Louis, Aug. 13.-There is a ru-
NOR current on the street, in which
some reliance is to be placed, that
Gen Lyons command in the South
west has been totally routed, Lyon
himself killed. and Siegel in full re-
treat with the remnant Of the Fede-
raj forces. This information is said
to have been received here by the
secessionists last evening, the mes
senger who brought the news having
killed four horses between SPRING
field and Rolla in the face with the
government messenger.
It is also reported that Gen. Ere
mont received dispatches about mid:
night, corroborating the above, but
the contents are not divulged. Great
anxiety is felt by the Union men
here, and the most serious apprehen-
sions are indulged for the safety Of
the Federal army. We will proba-
bly, get something reliable by the ar
rival Of the train to night.
The above is from the regular cor
srespondent of the New York Aso-
ciated Press. That the Federaslists
have at length suffered a disaster
may be regarded as certain, as the
dispatch would not have been per-
mitted without official sanction.

Our (the FederaD loss was about

STARTLING DISCOVERY.

The Richmond correspondent of the n. Orleans
Crescent writes:
An important and startling discovery has been
brought to light within the past few days, which
must eventually, if the perpetrators cannot be
ferreted out, end in discontinue, if not In a
crushing defeat. Traitors have been discovered
in high places The New York Times las pub
shed full and correct list of all our forces in the
field, with their disposition; giving the names of
the various reg iments with the States rom which
they have been contribu ted; their numbers, also
that of battaons and independent companies,
with the Of the Colonels their locality, the
brigades to which they are attached, including
those in Missouri Tennessee and the Kentucky
Brigade; not emitting the regiment commanded
by Col. Vaudeville Marigny, giving the date Of its
arrival in Richmond, the place Of encampment.
