years, devotfng his entire time to the cnlture>
ablee him to furnish fruit which we believe cannot
be surpassed. He will have this year about four
thousand baskets Of peaches which will be sold By
rs Is Clark street. Owing to extreme modeatJ
Mr.. P1rmelee has not the notn11ety OF come other
less ruccess III growers, but having had hi pench-
es tbe lat ve Years nc feel competent to aay that

as long n he continues to grow them. He has or
chArding and 1snds the most favorable for peach
glowing for sale in the highest and most beautiful
locations that can be found in that vicinity.
Very truly yours, FRED ". NEwHALh.
Accompanying this note were basket Of

The immense force which the rebels have
put in the field is g. fact which can not be
ignored. There are more men serving un-
der the rattlesnake ensign to-day than IN
der the glorious stars and stripes. The
rebels do not commit the folly Of under
estimating the warlike power Of the loyal
portion Of the Union. When Congress
authorized the President to raise an army
of 100000 men, the rebels took it for grant
ed that the number designated would be
speedily under arms, and they quietly and
energeticaDy set about procuring force
to match it Dictator Davis ordered an
tn masse levy Of all the able bodied adult
male population Of Secessia There was
no such nonsense as waiting for volunteer
ing. He sent after his men, and they came.
Il any attempted to shirk from his place
in the ranks, he was accused Of being an
@aboEtionist," and unsound on the goose,
for which ofenses, the punishment is ham
iahnent and confscation and often-hang-
ing. No males fit to bear arms, between
the ages ofeighteen and sixty years are ex-
empt Those least able to join the army
on the frontiers, serve in the Home Guards
to keep the slaves in subjugation. But all
who can possibly be spared from the plan

When the people ross u ono msa AID ten

At the end Of the thrfe months pitahed

The enthusiasm Of the masses cooled

stories Of the treatment they received IN

The Government has SEX about procur-
ing a second, larger aud more permanent
army. But 1t depends upon voluntary en-
liztments for orrecruits. Up to this time the
enlistment has progressed tolerably well,
but now begins to drag heavily. The loose
men are mostly picked up. The yeonlau-
n and burghers evince Little. .disposition;to
join the army. They are occupied, each
uaan with his perEonal affairs. One leaves
the duty Of enlisting to another. All pro-

THE WAR In MISSOURI,

Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribuue]
CAPE GRARpEAU, Sept. 5ih, 1861,
As there was not likely to be any immediate
mrement from Cairo, left there last evening
on the Memphis, and arrived here early this
morning. In company with MI. Keen, Of the
Quartermasters Department, rode out to
jackson, ten miles west Of Cape Girardeau,
ard spent most Of the day in camp, gathering
facts in relation to the health and condition
OF the regiments. The camp is located in an
open field adjoining the town and west Of
jackson, Immediately south Of the road thst
leads into the town from the West 4 small
et1es1a separates tho town and camp. It is very
dry in this eection, but there is sufRciency
Of water in the brook Ior the horses, and for
the aoldiers toswaah their clothes, while =
sp,ing at some distance above, furnishes water
Tor d1inkirg and cooking. The czmp Is loea.-
ed Without much reference to defence, as the
artillery occupies the low ground near the
| creek but the mistake, il it be one, is ex-
| cusaole, for It is certain there is no enemy
within many miles. The view Of the camp

On arriving In camp we repai1ed At once to
the tent Of Col. Cook, Of the 7th Illinois re2i-
ment, who, a senior officer, Was pIaeed In
command by Gen. Grant. We found the
Colonel busy with six persons, who Ind been
arrested uIder suspicious circumstances.
They had been closely questioned, all evidence

was administered binding them not in any

Government Of the Union whenever required
to do 60. They were admop;shcd that certain
cesth would be the penalty OF any violation
