The Treasury department has received adj
vices Of the most encouraging character in
relation to the national loan. There is no
doubt but that the loan will all be taken.
The nominations for Brigadier Generals
have all been confirmed by the Senate.
1t is undeniable that the rebels continue
to receive supplies OF arms from Maryland.
A day or two ago wagon broke down near
Millersyille, in Arrundal county, Nd, about
midway between Annapolis and the JunQ-
ton, and on examination, was found to con.
tain arms The inhabitants permitted it to

southern opinion of Gen. Mcclellan.

The New Orleans True Delta says: awe
hear thar Mcclellan, an officer of unques-
tionable capacity, an accomplished, enter
prising and successful soldier, is to be put at
the head of their invading armies, snbordi-
nate only to Lieut.. General Scott. We do
not regret this change, so far ps the fame of
Beauregard is concerned on the contrary,
we rejoice that It has been made, because we
know there could be little credit in scatter
ing such troops as have hitherto encounter
ed our heroic men in battle, led on by the
Paltersons, Buffers, and such like political
trash. Mcclellan is worthy Of Beauregard's s
attention, and while we have not for mo-
ment doubt of the result oftheir first mea>-
uFement of armsin the field, nor OF any later
conflict so far as the honor and reputation of
LBuisiana's great soldier is involved, we hope
when they are face to face arrayed against
each other no great disparity of force nor
deficiency of material will be allowed to
cripple our side on the eventful occasion. In
presence of an officer so thoroughly a SOL
dier as Mcclellan, il will not do for our gal
liant boys to sleep or be negligent on outpost
duty in contempt of their foe; but will, if
any one can, make something Of the sons of
the Pilgrims, the descendants OF the May
flowers passengers, and therefore our COM
plete satisfaction that one whom it will be
really a great honor to defeat is now at the
head of the Lincoln army of suhiugation."

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
CAIzo, Aug. 5-9 P. N.
Col. Lawler, of the 18th and Col. Turchin
moved from Birds Point to-day, Z or miles
into the interior as outposts or advance guards
of the army. The 18th encamped seven miles
out on the Charleston railroad. The 10Th at
Norfolk, six miles below on the river.
Word from Col. Marsh was received here
at an early hour this morning that the rebel
army of JEFF. Thomson was advancing on Cape
GirardeaE, and that at IL o'clock last night
they were within l6 miles of here. An i'm
mediate attack was expected.
1t is considered, however, that they are
strong enough to hold the place against
Thompson's force.
There is an intimate connection, You see,
between this movement against the Cape and
the burning of the bridge on the Cairo &
Fulton Railroad on Saturday, the latter
having been destroyed to cut off flank
movement against their force in this quarter.
Up to this hour, nine o'clock, nothing far
ther has been heard from the Cape, so it is
not likely az attack has as yet been made
A Union mar, who has been confined at
Union City for two or three weeks, escaped
and arrived here to-day.
He says that 81 regiments of rebel troops
are rendezvoused at New Madrid with vast
military stores and cannon. No news to-
day of Pillows movements.

Letter from Minister Harvey---The Charge
Of DIsleyRlry.

OF UlhloyAlEys
Hon. J. E. Harvey, United States Minister
to Portugal, writes letter from Lisbon to
the Secretary Of War, on The subject Of the
charges of disloyalty brought against him
since his departure from home. Our readers
will remember that at the time dispatches
in the possession Of various telegraph Offices
were seized by Government several from
Mr.. Harvey to parties in Charleston, South
Uaa,,,ina, were found. The fact of having
been in telegraphie communication with reb-
els wa,of itself a suspicious circumstance to
the uninitiated, and suspicion ripened into
almost positive certainty Of guilt when it
was known that the correspondence per-
tained to those political topics IN relation 10
which the Federal and State authorities were
at variance. Immediately were these facts,
unfavorable as they appeared in themselves,
magnifed end distorted by the Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald, &C
companied BY seTere denunciaiions from the
editor of mat journal The agents of the
Associated Press sent statement and com
ments over the wires to the newspapers of
the West and for time it seemed as though
Mr.. Harvey was the blacks CT trailors.-
His recall from the Portugal mission was
clamorously demanded by the public but the
Administration replied that its confidence in
the loyalty and integrity Of Mr.. Harvey was
mistaken. For this the President was
charged with imbecilty and almost with trea-
son. Matters have stood thus until the pub
licalion of theletter Of Mr.. Harvey to Sec
retary Cameron-a considerable portion Of
which we publish this morning clears
away all the suspicious circumstances and
places that much injured gentleman in bis
former position before the country, that of
patriot and a citizen Of unblemished eharac-

KentucI1y EiectIon--UnIon victory.

The following dispatch, which We find in
the Cincinnati papers of yesterday, failed to
reach US at the proper time. It announces a
glorious Union victory in Kentucky. Iftbe
result should be as indicated ia the last par
agraph, the Union majority in the State will
reach forty thousand:
LOUISVILLE, Aug. SIT the Legislative
election, Harney, editor Of the Democrat
was elected over Ex-Gov. Merriwether by
nine to eleven hundred majority, which rep
Iesents Union majority in Jefferson county.
The Union majority in the city is about six
thousand majority. Judge Buckner (U.)
was elected over James B. Clay, Of Fayeite
county, By I've to six hundred Tnajority.-
Richard O. Anderson (Unionl was elected in
Franklin county, BY three 70 four hundred
msjority. R. W. Jacobs, Union, was elect
ed In Oldham county.
The returns thus far indicate the relative
Union majority as large or larger than Al
the last Congressional election.

The ~ ar and the slaves.

The Toronto (Ganada) Globe closes an ar
ticle under the above Reading with the fol-
lowing words: Ia
ave should have thought the stern lesson
given at Bulls Run would have convinced
Mr.. Lincoln that this rebellion is not to be
suppressed by appealing in any way what
ever TO the reason Of the men in arms against
the Government. The fact that the Wash
ington Cabinet hesitates to take decisive
measures for the manumission of the slaves,
is to them a confession of weakness. They
cannot see it in any other light. They can
NOT understand how an enemy with whom
they are waging most deadly war, should
hesitate about employing the most efic ent
means to crush them. Whether tkey will or
not, despite the efforts of politicians, and les
pite the much Landed constitution too, the war
is resolving itself surely into a contest for the
suppression of slavery. To that cUsnnlexion
it must come. And the sooner the TACT is
recognized, the sooner will an end be ydt to
the deplorable contest now being waged."

Colonel. for orc ResImsnt..

The Columbus correspondent Of the Gin
oinnai Gazette, in the following para
graph, announces the effort and failure Of
Gov. DennisOn to secure the services Of a
number of officers Of the regular army to
take command of Ohio regiments;
aFrom the commencement Of the war,
Governor Dennison has endeavOred TO pro-
cure from the regular army experienced
officers for Ohio regiments. Recently he
asked the Secretary Of War to permit Cap
tim T. P. Swayne, Of Newport Barracks,
and Captain Charles R. Woods, Ninth In
fantry q, S. A, to become COlOnels with
out prejudice to their positions in the reg
ulsr service. He asked, also for I've other
officers, and to-day received dispatch
from Sc r.tary Cameron, stating that 'the
transfers of officers from the regular army
cannot be granted by the War Department
This decision viii be regretted By all the
people Of Ohio, who are jealous that the
volunteer army should be thoroughly eff
cient."

ExTEMPoRIzNG AN ARTILLERY COMPANY ON
THE FIELD.-Lient. Colonel Stahel, OF the
German Rifles, discovered en- abandoned
battery of six pieces on the day OF the battle,
and instantly adopted it forming an artillery
company from his regiment to work it,
Horses, caissons, guns, were all left together,
and Lieut.. Colonel Stahel believes that after
thus disgracefully deserving their trust the
former officers and men will not be likely to
attempt a reclamation. He therefore regards
the battery as his own.

Gen. Pillows famous chain bridge which
was stretched across the Mississippi upon
buoys to blockade the river against an inva-
ding force, has been torn away by the logs
and drifted wood, and $4,000 invested in
this splendid military engine was lost to the
State of Tennessee. Pillows military ex-
plots are very original, but do not seem to
work well in practice.

Gen. BnlIer's Letter on the Treatment of
Negroes.

Negroes.
We this morning publish the letter Of Gen.
Butler to the War Department, in which he
discusses the question Of how The negroes
coming within our military lines should be
disposed Of We commend it to the atten-
tion OF the editors of certain exceedingly con-
servative journals who have expressed a deal
Of horror at opinions recently avOwed in these
columns We fear they viii be charging
the General with Abolitionism,-and whe
knows how soon they may include him in
the list with Giddings, LOveioy and others
whoa they have piously hoped might he
captured by the rebels and furnished with
necklace of hemp"
Gen. Butler is practical man, and viii al
low no squeamish love of consistency 10 retard
him in the work which he has toperform.-
Attached though he has been for years to
the Southern wing Of the Democratic party,
now, when a rebellion is to be suppressed,
and be is one of ,he instruments employed
for the purpose, he sinks the politician in
the soldier, philanth:opist and statesman
) for be cOmb.aes the qualities of eaeh-and
urges t1e Government to be true to its own
Interests and to the instincts Of humanity
We viii not attempt synopsis of his able
letter, but ask for it g careful perusal by all
who are not welded to past political priuci-
pies or controlled by present partizan feel
ing.
Among the prints in this section who have
been severely exercised in consequence Of
the doctrines enunciated in the Leader, are
the Cleveland Herald, the Pain Dealer, and
the BucYrus Journal. The position we as
sumed was precisely the same as that of Gen.
Butler, with the single difference that We
advocated, in addition, the purchase by the
ff Government, of the slaves Of Union men,
thus settling the avexed question" forever
But we do not care to argue the matter with
journals known to be afflicted with chronic
fear of giving offence to slaYeholding rebels
journals whose editors would stand meek
ly, hat in hand, under the lash of negro
driving traitors-where we find it so ably
done by such respectable conservative as
Gen. Butler.

FROM WASHINGTON,

All the bills which passed both Houses
were approved by the President, who yielded
reluctant approval to that for the eonfsca-
ton of property used for rebellious purposes.
Yesterday each House provided separately
for an increase to the pay OF volunteers and
regular soldiers S4 per month, but finally
they united on a bill which will increase the
pay ouly 50 per month.
Many members of both Houses leave to-
day for their homes.
Senator Latham will not return to Califor-
MA during the recess.

VIGILANCE OF TEE PrcKETs.-A correspon
dent at Washington says our pickels are be-
coming much more vigilant since our late
disaster than they were before. They seem
to realize, at last, that they are engaged in
war, and with an unscrupulOus and active
enemy. Our men now thoroughly scOur the
country, and turn up every rod of
ground. The result. is, that every night We
capture from five to fifteen of the rebel pick
cts. The effect is already apparent. In.
stead of skulking up to our lines and picking
of sentries, the rebel patrol now maintain a
respectful distance and exercise great pru-
dence.
