THEIOYALTY on GEN. STONE.

Gen Stone, who had command Of the
.ederal troops at the Balls BnF disaster, is
strongly suspected in certain quarters Of dis
loyalty, and many believe him to be respon-
sibIe for the bunder that resulted in the
death Of Gen. Baker and was so disastrous
to our arms A widespread disafection has
sprung up both in Gen. Stones division, in
Congress and through portions Of the North
ern States. rendering his continuance in a
position that provokes these attacks very
serious injury to the public service. The
correspondent Of the New York Times refers

FROM MISSOURI.

The Provost Marshal General at ST. Louis
has issued an order requiring all publishers
of newspapers in the State of Missouri, St.
Louis excepted, to furnish him a copy Of each
issne for inspection, failure to comply with
which order will render the paper liable to
suppression.
Great excitement occurred in the Chamber
of Commerce at st. Louis Thursday after
noon, on the occasion of the election of off,
GERS, which resulted in the disruption Of the
Chamber by the withdrawal of the Union
members, who subsequently established u
Mon Chamber Of Commerce, which will be
Immediately carried out. The trouble occur
red in consequence of the secession members
refusing, by their votes, to admit member
of Union applicants for membership.
Intelligence known TO be reliable and true

Cockerill the Methodist preacher. Tompkins
Brs Hey Methodist class leader in the same
church, were fired, together with the houses
of rebels Of lesser note.
The rebels in Warrensburgh are reported
to be in high state Of excitement conse-
quent upon the near approach Of Jennison.
as Iney well know that they have committed
all sorts of outrages on the quiet and
peaceful Union men Of that county. and that
if justice be metcd out to them. their houses
will be burnt. Ward Cockeril has gone to

Gen. Palmer telegraphs to Gen, Hslleck,

FROM WASHING TON IND VICINITY.
The Worlds dispatch makes this state
ment There is great stir and excitement
in military circles at this time. Three divi-
sions Of the army are under marching orders,
and troops have already been dispatched to
certain point. Be prepared to hear stirring
news within week. Rest assured that the
rebels have not the remotest idea of the point
aimed at. Their movements betray total ig-
norance Of the plans Of our generals. There
is no present probability Of fighting on the
Potomac, unless at the option Of the rebels.
The English steamer Immortdhte arrived
several days ago az Annapolis. and Wednesday
made application 90 our government for per-
mission to coal. Orders were Immediately

mean conduct Of British officials at Nassau,

vessels permission to coal in their waters out

CAN'T WE AGREE UPON THIsa


The following from the n Y. Observer,
one Of the oldest and most conservative reh-
gious papers OF the country. indicates a una
nlmlty of purpose in putting down the rebel
lion most grateful TO the patriotic heart
The army has nothing TO do with the re-
latons Of master and slave 1t is to treat
all honest aud loyal men alike It is not to
catch fugitive negroes, nor TO send them TO
those who claim TO be their owners, nor
enquire if colored man is a slave or
freeman, nor TO meddle with the institutions
of the state in any way. The army is to
know no distinction except that of enemies
and friend. 1t will employ white men and
black meu in its service, when they can be so
employed, and use them in the most efficient
manner 10 crush out the rebellion If the
entrance of our army into Sonth Carolina is
the occasion Of the exodus of the entire coll
ored population, it is no part Of the duty Of
the army to arrest the flight or help it. Who
ever stands in the way of the re-estabish-
ment OF the government over the whole Union
must get out of the way or be crushed The
relation of one class of the community to
another is not to be regarded as an obtaele in
the progress OF our armies, but all men, what
ever may be their condition under the
laws of the state are to be treated as
friends OF enemies Of the Union, We would
welcome the colored men Of the South to the
protection Of the flag which the white men
of the South have deserted and defed.
In the revolted States, the armies Of the
Union go to enforce submission to righteous
government aud wholesome law, by putting
down rebellion, taking away arms and powder
from the enemies of the Union, and whoever
will join in the assertion Of this right, and
the enforcement of this poSer, is friend,
whether his skin is white or black
