Mn,or eenoraI McCleIlan at Cairo

CAMP DEFIANCE, Cairo ILL.,. June 14.-Ma-
jor General George B. Mcclellan, commander
of tine western division, took this camp quite
by surprise yesterday, by arriving here upon
the morning tram. A Geographic dispatch from
him gave an inkling OF his approach just in
season to enable Gen. Prentiss to collect the
colouels of the several regiments, with their
field officers and capiaius at the depot upon his
arrival He was enthusiastically received, and
escorted to the headquarters to the stirring
strains of the Star. Spangled Banner There
Gen. Prentiss welcomed him as follows -
GENERAL: | welcome you in the name of
my command. You see the officers before
you. They are all anxious to taste those
dangers which war ushers in--not that they
court danger, but that they love their coun-
try. (Applause.) We have toed in the mud );
we have drilled in the heat of the burning
sun. We remain, many Of us ragged, all OF
us poor. We seem to have been neglected.
We blame no one for the fire of patriotism
still burns within us. We love our country
our ,caoie country Tor it we are ready to fight
and die. These regiments were the first to
organize in the state Of Illinois, and the first
to take the field, at the most important point
in the country next to Washington. We DC.
| cupied it; we hold it still, and we can hold
against 10000 invaders. Our men have work
ed with yigor the result of their labors can
be seen. May we not ask some favor? We
look anxiously for the order to move forward
hoping that when it comes we may be allow
ed to lead the van" (Applause)
Gen. Mcclellan is a stoutly built man, some
what below medium height, with light hair
blue eyes, and full, youthful looking face
with no beard except a brown moustache. Hi.
appearance is not peculiarly impressive, anC
one would hardly select him, in a crowd, al
holding the highest command in the army mex
to Gen Scott His manner is quite devoid O
hauteur; he is personally extremely popular
army officers and men, and every body, seen
to have entire faith in him. To the welcom
of Gen. Prentiss he responded -
General and Officers-I am, as perhap
you know, more at home in Illinois than else
where Among your number see many ia
miliar faces. trust | shall have opportunit
to renew my friendship with those gentlemen
and to form many new acquaintance whic
shall remember with pleasure in after year,
We shall meet again upon the tented field
and Illinois, which sent forth Hardin and
Bissell, will, doubt not, give good accoun
of herself TO her sister states. Her fame
world wide. In your hands, gentlemen, ar
sure it will not suffer The aduance as due
you" Great applause.)
In consequence of Gen. McClellan's arrival
grand review of the command took place a
nve o'clock last evening. He expressed yer.
nigh qualification at the drill and. disciplin
OF The troops, and the progress of the iorti6cs
tions.

CAMP GooDELL, Joliet, June 13.-Many of

worthy of his affections. A few days ago it
began to be noised about that there was to be

THE FLIGHT FROM HARpERs FERRY.

The following is an extract from private
letter to gentleman in this county =
FREDERICK, MD, June 15.,-A fine body of
United States soldiers are now al Cumberland,
Greencastle, Chambersburg, aud the two fer
res between Point of Rocks AMI Washington;
also, eight thousand at Leesburg, ready for
operations. There has been considerable
trouble in the rebel camp on the Maryland
Heights; but they succeeded, on Friday morn
ing in getting Them over to the Ferry. They
had previously destroyed the Point of Rocks
bridge, and the Berlin bridge, both across the
Potomac owned by stock companies. They
withdrew their forces from along the river and
concentrated themselves at the Ferry. They
destroyed large bridge on the railroad, one
mile from NIartinsburg. In so doing, they
had but one locomotive to use, and cut
themselves off from some fifty locomotives
in and near Martnsburg. When they
discovered their error they directed the
bridge 10 be rebuilt so that they could get the
company's engines over to aid them in their
fight 1t raS loo late !! They could not get it
done; the arch is one hundred feet span.
On Friday they understood from news car.
rier rebels that United States troops, to the
number of 5000 men, were at Leesburg, and
that their own force at Leesburg had destroy
ed their engines, barned the cars, torn up the
road and fled towards Manassas Gap. They
concluded prudence was the better part of
valor, set fire to the long bridge and burned
it with all the government buildings and fed
TO the interior of the state They had but a
handful of their chivalrous army at the Ferry
at two O'Clock Friday afternoon. Their cour
age would not bear the test. They threw
eight car loads of oats, corn, hay, and provis-
ions into the river, previous TO their depar-
ture hung three men and shot fourth. That
bold and determined stand taken by them,
secured as they thought in an impregnable
fort in one of the best locations in the world,
has been deserted by the chvalrous sons Of
the south.
hear that some soldiers from near the
Ferry will join the federal army as soon as it
arrives; and wherever they go they will get
large additions to their numbers. The rebels
have literally devastated the country around
the Ferry, like an army of locusts. l am in
formed that twenty-seven car loads of soldiers
and operatives have passed up the road to the
Ferry to repair the bridges, and take posses
sion of the government property, if any can
be found, They were putting up the tele
graph lines, yesterday, and we suppose by
evening the line will be complete west to
Cumberland.
Our rebel legislature is yet in session.
From appearances regiment will be here to-
night. If they come have hopes they will
dissolve our Legislature, never to meet again.

THE TROOPS I'M missouri.

A letter from ST. Louis states that there are
about $4,000 available federal troops in and
near Missouri, without including those at Cal
70 and Birds Point. OF these, II 900 are AT
Quincy, Caseyvie, and Belleville, Illinois
1000 at Keokuk, Iowa. and 1000 at Leaven
worth Kansas. The remaining $4,000 are AT
various points in Missouri, II 900 of them be-
ing at Jefferson Barracks, and in or near ST
Louis. This estimate includes the st. Louis
Home Guards, who number about 5000 The
army with which Gen. Lyon pursued Gov.
jackson numbered $500, volunteers and reg.
ulars, and some $500 are operating at various
points in the state, at St. Joseph, Kansas City,
Hermann, Jefferson City, near Lexington, and
along the railroads. Besides the troops emu
merated in this letter, there is large and very
efficient force organized in southeastern Kan
sas, that will be sure to take part in the con-
fiict if it becomes active and sharp but it
looks now as though the secessonists will be
unable to make a successful stand anywhere,

see. The letter to which we refer says -
"a messenger who arrived yesterday, June
Is, from Springfield, in southwest Missouri,
brings report from Major John S. Phelps,
that 800 secession troops from Arkansas, un.
der Ben. McCulloch, are within 80 miles OF
that place, and marching toward it. The
Union men of Springfield and vicinity, led by
Major Phelps, are organizing and preparing to
give them fight. The 1900 Union troops
from this city, sent in that direction. took the
southwest branch Of the Pacific railroad as far
as completed, to Rolla, and are now marching
from that place to Springfield, las miles"
Nearly all the federal troops in Missouri,
besides the regulars from the arsenal and from
Fort Leavenworth, are Missouri volunteers /;
and the federal troops stationed at Bird Point
are Missourians. The Union men of that
state are abundantly able to take care of the
rebels within their borders, including Gov.
jackson and his rascally crew, if they can be
organized and furnished with arms. Those
already III the field are chiefly from St. Louis,
but their military organization will probably
be extended in all directions. Their purpose
is to prevent an overthrow of the federal gov
eminent in Missouri, and protect the rights of
Union men. They are likely to succeed.

The Mozart IEeglment.


About five weeks ago, Mayor Wood induced
Capt Ray OF Philadelphia, TO come to this
city with his company, comprising one hun
bred and ten men, TO join the Mozart regiment,
then organizing under his care. The men ar
rived in due season, Mayor Wood paying their
expenses and they were ATTACHED 10 the regi.
ment under the command of Col. D. S. Cocks.
The Philadelphians had been promised equip
ments Immediately, and had been assured that
they would be sent to the seat of war forth
with They were eventually sent into garri-
son at Yonkers, where they have remained for
Ave weeks. On Friday last the regiment was
to have been inspected, previous to being mus
tered into die service. Five New York COM
panies were inspected and accepted, and then
came Capt. Rays turn. Col. Cocks then came
forward and stated that the company would
not be accepted under the officers they had
chosen, but that they should have TIL privi-
lege of selecting some OF Mayor Woods poit-
ica hacks to fill their places.
They refused to accede to this, but determin-
ed to stand by their officers. Thereupon Col.
Cocks informed them that if they lett the reg.
iment they should be stripped OF their clothes,
and they might get back to New York the
best way they could. The men resolved to
sacrifice everything rather than submit, and
were accordingly Invested OF their shirts,
shoes, and caps and left with scarcely cloth
ing sufficient to hide their nakedness. In this
condition the Philadelphians marched to this
city-17 miles-barefooted and barebacked.
On arriving here they proceeded to Mayor
Woods house, and, forming in a line before
his door, exhibited the manner in which his
promises to them had been kept.
Mr.. Wood endeavored to persuade them to
return to the regiment, but they refused to
have anything further to do with Col. Cocks.
Mr. Wood then, with the prodigious liberality
of his generous nature, gave twenty dollars to
the one hundred and ten men to enable them
to get some supper. These men are now in
the city, and anxious to be attache to some
respectable regiment. Several Massachusetts
companies seeded from the same regiment

FLoYD's PROCLAMATION.

The notorious thief, John b. Floyd, resides
at Arlington away down in the southwestern
corner of Virginia. He is rich, OF course.
Some thieves contrive to get rich. He is
now Brigadier General in the rebel army
and is stationed at Whitheville some distance
above Arlington, on the railroad in the direc.
ton of Lynchburg and Richmond. We hope
he will remain there until the federal troops ar
rive. We referred the other day to his proc
lamation or call to the people of that part of
Virginia, in which he tells them with much
trepitlation that Gen. McClellands men are
coming down there. We had not the docu-
ment at hand then, but we print it now =
CAMP JACKSON, Wytheville, June 4.
To the .citisenS of this district Il have this
day received information that large f3Ice of
the enemy are rapidly advancing from Ohio
by way of Kanawha and Fayette G. H., with
the yieX q taking possessippr of this region
q country, ana sezing upon the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad, SO as TO stop the move
melt OF troops for the relief OF our eastern
frontier. There is certainly great danger to
country from such a Increment. We have plenty
of men to defend the country if they were
armed.
call upon all patriotic citizens tn
promptly forward and supply our men with
such arms as they may have. Agents will be
appointed to receive the arms and give a re-
ceipt for the same, stating therein the charac-
ter of the gun and the value thereof. These
guns will be faithfully returned to their own
ers, Or, if not, will be paid for.
The safety Of your country depends upon
furnishing the arms to the volunteers who are
willing to lay down their lives in your defense.
/ hope this occasion will strongly urge upon
the young men of our country to unite them
selves at once into volunteer companies, and
to rally to the defense of their country. There
is not a dag to be lost. JOHN b. FLOYD,
Brig. General, Confederate Army.
1t will be noticed that Floyd is still in pur-
suit of guns; but that solemn promise to re-
turn them or pay for them is quite as comical
as any thing in Punch. Floyd borrowing guns
is q rich subject for "our artist" but Floyd
restoring borrowed guns or paying for them
would be sublime AS he resides in that re
gion, the people, we presume, have some
knowledge of his habits and principles. If
they loan him guns they will deserve to lose
them. His fear that McClellan's troops are
coming down upon him is not unreasonable
We hope it is not unfounded, for it would give
the country great satisfaction to hear that Gen
McClellan's men had taken possession of that
region, shot Floyd, and nailed federal flag TO
his dwelling house.
