LORD BRouGuAM ON WAsmNGroN.-L
Broughan,, in his late address, said:
'In Washington we may contemplate ev-
cry excellence, military and civil, applied to
the service of his country and of mankind--
triumphant warrior, mistaken in conf
dence when the mos sanguine had a right to
despair; a successful ruler in all the difficult
ties of a course wholly untried directing
the formation of a new Government for IL
great people, the first time SO rash an eXper-
iment had ever been tried by man-volunta-
nly ana uhostentatously retiring from SUI
preme power with the veneratien of all par
ties, of all nations, of all mankind. that the
rights of men might be conserved, and that
his example might never be appealed to bv
vulgar tyrants 1t will bc the duty of the
historian and the sage in all ages, to omit
no occasion of COMMUNICATING this illustri-
Gus man, and, until time shall be no more,
will a test of progress which our race has
made in wisdom and in virtue be derived
from the veneration paid to the immortal
name Of Washington"

The REGIMENTAL FLAG FOR THE 18TH
The Regimenral colors of the 25th Regi-

Library Rooms, and elected the admiration
of all who saw them. The National flag
for TIN 25th went forward several days

had these flags made in Cincinnati for the
18th, and we are certain that no regiment
from Indiana has a more splendid regi-
mental flag than the one we have referred
to. The material of the flag is dark blue
silk, with the coat of arms OF the United
States embroidered thereon, and a scroll
containing the number and name of the
Regiment. The whole surrounded with
silk fringe and mounted on staff with rich
cord and tassels attached.

the New York press were urging him to
put the Government to an expense of mil
lions, from which it would not have receiv-
ed the slightest benefit, the Naval Secretary,
with prudence and honesty that entities
him to the highest praise, was battling the
designs of spectators and their purchased
adherents.
Thus, we doubt not, will it turn out with
the thousand and one stories circulated for
the purpose of impairing the confidence of
the people in their rulers, and causing them
to withhold the assistance needed for fear it
may be misapplied.

martfal law in n1issouri.

We published in our telegraph columns,
a day or two ago, the proclamation of GEN.
Fremont, declaring martial law in the State
Of Missouri. The following is a general
order issued in connection with the procIa-
nation, which the agent of the Associated
Press seems to have regarded as of too little
Importance to merit being telegraphed. We
also copy in full the order of Provost Mar
shall McKinstry;
HEAD QUARTERS WESTERN DEPARTMENT., !
ST. Louis, August 30, 1861.
Special Order No. LOG.
The Commanding General sincerely re-
grets that he fndsat necessary to make any
proclamation to the patriotic army under
his command He had hoped that the rigid
enforcement of discipline and the good ex-
ample of the mass of the enlightened SOL
diery which he has the honor to lead,
would have been sufficient to correct in
good time the Irregularities and license of
the few who have reflected discredit upon
our cause and ourselves. But the extern
sion of Martial Law to all the State of Mis-
souri,, rendered suddenly necessary by its
unhappy condition, renders ii equally i'm
perative TO call the army to good order and
rigorous discipline.
They are reminded that the power to in
fict the extraordinary seventies of the new
governing law is rigidly confined to few,
who are to be held strictly accountable for
its exercise.
They are also reminded that the same ne
cessity which requires the establishment of
| Martial Law demands also the enforcement
of the military law, which governs them
selves with the same sudden severity. The
| Commanding General therefore strictly pro-
hibits all vexatious proceedings calculated
unnecessarily to harrass the citizens, and
also unauthorized searches, seizures, and
destruction of property, except in cases OF
military necessity, and for which the officer
authorizing or permitting it will be held
strictly and personally responsible. All Of
fcers commanding districts, posts, or de-
tachments, are enjoined to use the utmost
prudence and cireumspection in the dis
| charge of their duties. Under the circum-
stances, strict obedience to orders, close
attention to duties, and an earnest effort tC
protect and to avoid harrassing innocent
persons is requested and expected every
where from officers and men.
The Commanding General trusts that ht
will find few occasions to reproach th'
troops. He he hopes and believes he will
find many to commend and admire them.

Major General Commanding.

Old "Fuss and Feathers"

The Richmond Wing very pertinently
observes with reference to the exodus of
this old traitor from Lincoln's dominions:
Old Scott is reported in the New York
press, to have assured his visitors, that
the unnatural rebellion" would be
speedily suppressed, and peace would
prevail in few months. Whether such
assurances was given, we cannot say; but
we have no hesitation in saying, that the
old traitor did not believe word of it
himself. He is emnently endowed with
the instincts Of the rat; and his quitting
Washington and betaking himself to Eu-
rope more loudly proclaims his eonvic-
tions than any words could utter. If he
believed in the speedy subjugation of the
South, he would never have relinquished
the communicable; if he had not
thought defeat more probable than con-
quest, no man would have been more
eager to profit by the chance to enjoy
the humiliation of the rebels. For we
take his departure to be one of the strong
signs we have had of the hopelessness of
the Yankee cause. It's part of his
policy to make-believe, that, that cause
is in prosperous condition; for when the
rout comes, he fatters his vanity, that
people will say it is owing to his absence.
When he sent his easy chair to Centreville
ION to Richmond" he betrayed his feel
ing of confidence and the eager malignity
with which he anticipated the defeat and
dispersion of the rebels. He called it "a
miscalculation of forces;" but the old
scoundrel lost heart from that day, and
has been watching for decent preteXt to
escape from the sinking ship.

Gen. w. II. T. Walker,

signation. The rank of General / would
never allow to be degraded in my person.
am rejoiced that the rank of Major-Gen-
eral has been bestowed on my gallant
and chivalrous. friend, Gen. Jackson, and
it will DO my pride to serve under him,
and to render him al the aid in my power
in preserving the soil of Georgia intact
from the ruthless footsteps of the inyad-
ers.
With such dashing leader, backed by
the noble and gallant men of Georgia,
who will combat for all that is dear and
sacred, our wives and little ones can lie
under their own vine and fig tree, with
none to make them afraid. -

upon my character as soldier, and assure
YOU that At o moments notice will be
ready to bsttle for nny-mother-- Georgia.

South Carolina.

1t is worth some disasters and disap-
pointments to witness the alacrity with
which sons of South Carolina, long resi-
dent abroad, now rush to her. :, . .
The Jackson Mississippian, referring to
a call Of w. B. Smart, for regiment for
South Carolina from Mississippi, says:
There is no spot upon earth where the
true Confederate patriot would rather
pour oss his hearts blood than upon the
sacred soil of South Carolina,--South
Carolina, who bled SO freely IN the old
revolution, is about to be made the thea
tire of another bloody struggle for indie
pendence. She who first applied the Sc
cession knife, and boldly cut in twain the
Gordon knot that bound her to tyrant's
rule, is now to be made victim of the
enemy's hatred and vengeance; let it
never be said that South Carolina pleads
in vain to Misslssippians. Mississippi and
South Carolina are bound together by ties
of such close and congenial affinity that
the cause of the one is pre-eminently the
cause of the other. We feel perfectly
confident, therefore, that any call our
gallant sister may make upon us, will be
most heartily and promptly responded to.
