one that stands in the river, is l37 feet high.

utterly destroying the South pier, and with

BG~ The New York Evening Posts
Washington correspondent says that Gen.
Lane has, in several interviews with the
President, discussed his plans, and that. in
a conversation with Gen. Mcclellan, the
Commander-in-Chieft thus addressed him
Suppose you 6ud no Union sentiment
whatever where you go ?" "Then," re-
piled Lane, " will take good care to leave
no rebel sentiment behind me. If Missouri,
Arkansas, and the Indian country will not
come peaceably Hnder the laws of the Gov
ernment, my plan is to make them wilder
ness. l would give the traitors twenty
four hours to choose between exile and
death. Sir, if I can't do better, I will kill
off the white traitors, and give their lands
to the loyal black meni" The friends of
Lane assert that, upon hearing this reply,
Mcclellan laughed heartily, and said " You
must work out your own plans. Go your
way, and see to it that no rebel sets his
foot in Kansas"

RsT Many of the Southern papers have
admitted the presence of a Union sentiment
in the South, and it is confirmed by desert
ers and travellers crossing from the rebel to
the Union lines. We have had sufficient
evidence to demonstrate that in East Ten
nessee, thousands of Union men only wait
the propitious moment to strike a telling
blow for the cause of - North. The news
of the death of Zollicoffer and the defeat of
his forces will be known to every Union
man in the South in spite of the efforts of
the rebel leaders to muzzle the press, and
they will be encouraged to hope and wait
for the hour, not far distant when the
supremacy of the laws of the United States
will be established all over the South.

MOVEMENTS OF GEN. LANDER.-A letter
to the Cincinnati Gazette from Gen. Lam
der's command says that Gen. Jackson has
$1,000 men and % pieces of artillery. The
order to fall back was made by Gen. Nc
Clellan. The writer says:
Lander, however, still remains on the
Virginia side of the Potomac, refusing to
enter Maryland. You will soon hear of an
extensive battle in this division of the
army on the Potomoc. We are outuum-
bered two to one, as has always been the
case in this war, although there are troops
enough in Gen. Banks column, and the
camps in Ohio, to have given US equal num-
bers. Many of our men are detached to
guard the railroads.
The desperate character of our General
is well known, and his name has hitherto
been the harbinger of success in battle
but we know by his anxious looks and
constant watchfulness that this time, az
least, he is quite apprehensive as to the
result.

DG@ We learn the following particulars
from gentleman who came down from
South Carrolton, of the shooting affair be-

better care of his equipments, to have them
taken from him. The private told him to

lines. As the Captain rode off be turned to
see if his order had been executed, and as
he did so the soldier fired a revolver at him
twice, one shot cutting through the right
breast of his officers coat but inflicting no

sG~ The New York Times a few days
ago published a isttsr from some gentle
man, claiming to speak from the " highest
possible authority" relative to Gen. Nc
Clellan and his plans. This correspondent
made some very extravagant predictions
as to the future success of his favorite, and
was quite liberal of his abuse of those who
have manifested Impotence at the delay
attending the Generals advance. The Phil
adelphia Press appropriates portion of
the correspondents abuse, and replies to it.
As we have been set down in the cate
CORY of grumblers, we appropriate the re-
marks of the Press as in a manner express

frankness of friendship. And it is with
the frankness of friendship that we represent
to him how earnestly and anxiously the
people of this nation long for an advance

There is state of disqualification among
the Southern people; they are suffering
from ruined currency, a ruined commerce,
general ruin and desolation everywhere.
Humanity would demand their speedy con-
quest; and the protests against all conscrip-

an army as General Mcclellan commands
would almost of itself sweep from the Po-
tomac to Patagonia, and, guided by a CON-
mander so trusted and beloved, it would
very soon bring peace and glory to the Re-
public, and eternal honor to his name:
While we accept the "highest possible
assurances of the Times newspaper with
gladness, and without reservation, we think
it unfortunate that any young man, assum.

at this time, assume dictatorial style. II

~ 1t is very singular that we have
nothing from the Burnside Expedition. Two
weeks have elapsed since it sailed from
Fortress Monroe, and still we are not certain
as to its whereabouts. If the rumors in
rebel papers to the effect that it was in
ought to have obtained some information as
to what Gen. Burnside was about, long be-
fore this We begin to suspect that the
100 vessels in the Sound were rebel myths
conjured up by their fears. We more than
mistrust that the formidable hotilla has
gone to the Gulf, and is part and parcel of
the great "Picayune Buffers expedition,
designed to operate against Mobile and
New Orleans. 1t will be remembered that
it was stated-when Gen. Butler started
his regiments from New England-that
they were assigned as an advance guard
Of q most formidable expedition. If Burn
side is not to join Butler, the Iatter's
operations will be very limited indeed, as
his whc.e force will not exceed 5000 or
make any Roadway against the 10000 or
$4,000 said to be in New Orleans. Besides
she peculiar character of Burnsid6s vessels
indicate that they are designed for inland
seas, and if they are not at Pamlico, where
should they go but to Lakes Borgne and
Ponchartrain2
It was very likely they were designed to
operate on the coast of North Carolina, as
in that case, they could cooperate with
Gen. Mcclellan in driving Beauregard out
of Virginia. But perhaps Gen. Mcclellan
estimates the army Of the Potomac fully
competent for that job, when he gets sundry
rat holes in different parts of the country
properly plugged up. However the case
may be, we feel confident that many days
will not elapss before the " Yankees will
be heard from. All we ask of them is to
give rs as good an account of themselves as
have the hardy sons of the Northwest.

The vIneennes Gazette.

Having been resurrected by its former
proprietor, DR.. Smith, comes to us with the
salutatory of the Hon. Cyrus NJ. Allen as
Editor. We copy portion of his article:
It is neither as profession, or with the
expectation of gain, that have consented
to take charge, for time, of this department
of the Gazette; but believing that the peo-
pie of the county desire the publication of
journal in our city, which will sustain the
present Administration, and advocate q
vigorous policy towards crushing out the
rebellion which exists in a portion of the
States of the Union, and to aid in the estab-
lisment of such paper at this point, have
consented to take charge of the political
editorial department of the Gazette, but
will, in no manner, have anything to do
with any other portion of the paper. 1t
will be my ein ar' effort to give to the Adj
ministratii cOr,l:al support in all its eff
forts to suppress The present rebellion and
restore the Union, and to that end, and I'M
til that desirable object is accomplished,
will advocate the laying of mere party feel
ing, and all efforts to accomplish mere party
success.
do not regard this as a proper time to
enter upon party contests, but rather the
time when men of all parties should
unite in the effort to sustain the Govern
ment, and compel a return of the rebellious
States to their allegiance. 1t will be my
aim to treat all opponents candidly and
fairly, and never to knowingly misrepresent
them, or pervert their arguments. l will
not, under any circumstances, be drawn
into personalities, or allow the POLITICAL
editorial department of the paper to be the
medium of personal abuse or detraction.
Claiming the right to exercise my own
opinion, limited only by the test of loyalty,
l accord the same right to others, and if l
cannot expose the fallacy of an opponents
arguments, by reason, will never attempt
it by personal abuse.

Spies In Washington.

The Washington correspondent of the N.
York Post says that the President informed
a Senator, on Tuesday evening, that the
original plan of the Burnside expedition
had been given up, because the rebels had
got hold of it. The same writer says:
The attention of the new Secretary of
War has been directed to the fact that Seces-
sionists in this district are in constant cor
respondence with the rebel leaders, and that
rebel spies reside in Washington. A prom
inent citizen yesterday gave information
that a we'll known rebel army officer is
secreted among his family friends here. He
has not yet been discovered by the Govern
ment detectives, but the fact that he was in
the city last week is established beyond a
doubt

BGT Most of the rebels buried by our

which they have been engaged, were shot
through the head. This is attributed by
