ANOTHER GaxE.-That notorious Siav-
ocrat, Perce Batter, of Philad., has sought
to cause new divisions 10 the North by at
tempting to detain Minister Cameron for
an official act while Secretary of War.
This is a fresh instance of the malice Of
the Rebel sympathizers in our midst. If
Butler was a friend of the country, be
could wait until the war is ended if be
thinks he can prove there was any malice
in his being compelled to keep company
with Mason and Slidell for a time. But
the President, aud not his Secretary, is
tho man to be "sued" 10 the case.

Gov. Letcher's Message.

Gov. Letcher's message has some points
worthy Of notice. He gives it as his de.
liberate conviction that the conscriptiou bill
of the Confederate Congress, which takes
the whole power Of raising troops out Of
the hands Of the State authorities, is uncon.
stitutional. He, however, waves the dis.
cussiou of the matter till the close of the
war. He thinks the late reverses of the
South should be the opposite of discourag-
ing He advocates change in the military
policy of the South, preaching, forsooth;
that henceforth the rebels must take the
offensive, and invade the North. Western
Virginia and Maryland, especially, must be
possessed By Davis. Letcher says that as
the South cannot subsist both the rebel and
national armies, the latter must be driven
out, and the former take possession of
Southern Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, which
he thinks will introduce them to "people
whose sympathies are with them, and who
will extend to them aid and comfort" Alas
for poor Letcher! He seems to have lost
in the madness of secessionism whatever
modicum of common sense he once had, and
to be now absorbed IN delirious dreams of
impossible treason Oneida Herald.

s9r In the o. S. Presbyterian General
Assembly, in session at Columbus, Ohio,
DR.. Robert j. Breckenridge, on Monday
last, resigned his place as Professor in the
Danville Theological Seminary, avowedly
as consequence Of the personal maligni-
y and public disloyalty of Thomas A.
Hoyt and Stuart Robinson" both of whom.
to quote his own language, accused him of
immoralities and crimes" which if proved
would render him unfit for the Office. The
resignation was for the purpose of bringing
the accusers aud the accusation to the Bar

A Gallant Naval Exploit.

Wherever the armies of the United States
have advanced it has usually found warm
friends in the colored population, and,
could all the events of the war be faithfully
chrouicled, it would appear that those peo.
pie have furnished our officers with much
valuable information, while it cannot be
denied that they have often been used as
spies against us:
Commodore Dupont reports most gal
liant exploit on the part of eight negroes in
the running out of Charleston harbor an
armed vessel-th Plantcr-and surrender.
ing her to the blockading squadron. Com
Dupont, in his report to the Secretary OF
the Navy, gives the following account Of
the matter: "At four in the morning, in
the absence of the captain, who was on
shore, she left her wharf, close to the gov.
ernment Office and headquarters, with the
Palmetto and Confederate flags flying
passed the successive forts, saluted as usual
by blowing the steam whistle. After get
ting beyond the range of the last gun she
hauled down the rebel flag and hoisted a
white one. The Oaward was the inside
ship of the blockading squadron in the
main channel, and was preparing to- fire,
when her commander made out the white
flag. The armature of the steamer is 32-
FOUNDER or pivot, and fine 24-pounder
howitzer. She has, besides, on her deck
four other guns-one inch riaed-
which were 70 be taken on the morning Of
the escape to the new fort on the middle
ground. One of tie four belonged to Fort
Sumter, and had been struck, in the rebel
attack on the fort, on the muzz.e. Robert
Small, the intelligent slave and pilot of the
boat, who performed this bold feat so skill,
fully, informed me of this fact, presuming
it would be matter CT interest to US to
have possession of this gun. This mar,
Robert Small, is superior to any who have
come into our lines, intelligent as many of
them have been. His information has been
most interesting, and portions Of it of the
utmost Importance. ."-Scientjfc American.

Abraham Lincoln.

The loftiest position added not cubit to
the stature, no title conferred honor upon
George Washington. His simple name
was the best t9tle whereby men distinguish.
ed him, his great character and pure patriot
ism gave him eminence among men and an
immortal memory. So, We believe, it will
be With Abraham Lincoln.
The army correspondent Of the New
York Tribune says it is right to state that
the country is indebted to President Lin
coin for the recent achievements in the
vicinity of James River, as, on his arrival
at Fortress Monroe he gave the order which
led to such prompt and satisfactory results.
The same writer, in referring to the Presi-
dent, says most pertinently: " How enthu-
siastically all speak of the noble head Of
our nation-the Providential man, the
Moses of our Israel"
I never witnessed so much enthusiasm
about any man as about that plain, homely,
gaunt being, who walks unostentatiousIy
among our soldiers, and whom they greet
as their true friend. To-day he visited the
hospitals at Fortress Monroe, and spoke to
eyery wounded man in the crowded ward
rooms, where Rebels and Unionist lie side
BY side on beds of pain. "God bless
you," said many of our dear wounded boys.
"Amen," responded family but fervently
some rebel soldiers. I do not wonder at
the report which reaches US this evening,
that some of the rebel prisoners refused to
90 back to their own army, where they are
so differently treated than among Us, and
where they must contrast the uufeeling
traitor, jeff Davis, with that truest man
Gods noblest work, the man for the hour,
Abraham Lincoln.

Responses to the Presidents Cali for Additional
Troops.

1IOOp8.
Gov. Andrews, Of Massachusetts IN
answer to The Presidents call for troons
responds thus beautifully:
"Thc President calls on Massachusetts
to rise once more for its rescue and defence
The whole active militia will be summoned
BY general order issued from the Office of
the Adjutant General, to report on the
Boston Common tomorrow. They will
march to relieve and avenge their brethren
friends, aud to oppose with fiery zeal and
courageous patriotism the progress of the
foe. May God encourage their hearts
strengthen their hands and inspire the Gov,
ernment and the people"
Gov. Tod, of Ohio, thus closes his proc.
lamation to the people of that State. in
answer to the Presidents call:
Everything is valueless to us if our
Government is overthrown. Lay aside
your ordinary duties, and help bear aloft
the glorious flag unfurled by our fathers"
Governor Curtin Of Pennsylvania issued
general order which says on pressing re.
QUESTION of the President in the present
emergency, it is ordered that the Generals
and ColOnels thrOughoutth the Commonwealth
muster without delay their respective COM
mands, and proceed forthwith to Washing
ton, or such place as is indicated by future
order.
The following has been issued to the
militia of Indiana:
"In consequence Of the recent demon.
strations against the National Capital, and
on requisition from the War Department,
it is hereby ordered that the Colonels of
the organized regiments of the Indiana
Legion report to these headquarters, BY
telegraph, on receipt of this order, the
strength of their several commands, and
hold their regiments in readiness to march
at moments notice."
New York has sent twelve regiments to
Washington since the repulse Of General
Banks. Pennsylvania has sent six, with
more to follow; Massachusetts has sent at
least three, with more to follow, and all
over the North patriots are clustering
around the old flag with zeal that has no
waning.

COL. CLOUD IN COMMAND.

Colonel Cloud arrived at Fort Riley last
Saturday evening and took command of the
Second Kansas. His advent was hailed by
those war-wcrn veterans with shouts of Joy
For months they have lacked the enthusi
asm to give one good rousing cheer, bu,
the coming of their gallant Major among
them, who has led them to the fiery front
Of battle, opened up the we'll springs Of
their enthusiasm, and they gave vent to
their feelings in rousing cheers of welcome
Governed by officers, as they have been, in
whom they had no confidence, they have
lacked that enthusiasm which is so much
needed among troops to make them effective
in discipline and execution, but now, under
the management Of the gallant Cloud, their
feelings Of lstlessness and no-careism worn
away, we predict for them proficiency in
drill and discipline unsurpassed by any
regiment in the service. Colonel Cloud is
q perfect drill,master, and in addition
always secures the love and respect Of his
men. Under his command men soon secure
. desire for the drill, and instead of fram-
ing excuses to be absent from this very
needful and healthful exercise, are always
out in full force. And it is our opinion
that We shall not see this regiment hereafter,
as it has been seen for weeks, lying in
camp, day after day, without so much as a
squad drill. Forming as they do part of
the grand expedition to the Indian Terri
tory, we may expect to hear Of their win
ming new laurels, under such leadership, to
add additional lustre to those already so
gloriously won. All honor and success to
the gallant leader of the gallant Second.
