Gov. YATES, a native of Kentucky and
now the gallant young governor of Illinois,
responds to the presidents call for three
hundred thousand troops in noble words. He
speaks the accumulated sentiment OF the west
as well as of the east in favor of using all
just measures of war for the sake of the Union.
He closes as follows =
Mr.. Lincoln, the crisis demands greater eff
forts and sterner measures. Proclaim anew
the good old motto of the republic, ''Li5elfy
and UHiOn, nOW and toreuer one and inSep-
araJle," and accept the Serrices of all loyal
men, and it will be in your power to stamp
armies out Of the earth-irresistible armies
that will bear our banners to certain victory
In any event, Illinois, already alive with beat
OF drum and resounding with the tread of
new recruits, will respond to your call. Adopt
this policy, and she will leap like a flaming
giant into the fight. This policy for the con-
duct of the war will render foreign lnterven-
ton impossible, and the arms of the republic
invincible. 1t will bring the conflict to
speedy close, and secure peace on a perma-
nent basis.

As there is considerable correspondence be-
tween this section of the country and some
portions of Mexico, would call the attention
of all concerned, to the provisions of the late
postal convention with Mexico, as set forth
by the first assistant postmaster general in
circular to postmasters, dated July 4, as fol-
lows:
'lst. The single letter rate (inland three
cents and sea seven centS) is ten cents per
half ounce, and for each fraction over, an add
ditional rate, and prepayment is required
This applies to all letters sent to Mexico from
the United States by sea.
I'd. On all letters geceired from Mexico by
sea the United States domestic rate of postage
is to be charged, rating them at the first Unit
ed States post office at which they are mailed
to their destination, either three or ten cents
per single rate. ThiS is TO be collected on de-
liUeTy.
3d. On all letters sent to or received from
Mexico, 1chen not cOnUeycd by sea, the United
States domestic postage only, Of three or ten
cents the single rate, is to be charged This
must be prepaid at the mailing office ON letters
sent, and collected at the office of delivery on
letters receired.
4th. The sea rate on printed matter sent to
Mexico is one cent for each newspaper and
one cent per ounce Cor fraction of an ounce)
on all magazines, periodical publications. and
other printed matter; and this is to be added,
when sent by sea, to our usual inland rate of
postage; and this combined rate must be pre-
paid at the mailing office in the United
States. When sent by land the United States
inland rate of postage only is to be charged
and Orppai1 n the mailing office
9th, On all such printed matter receired
from Mexico only our usual inland postage is
to be collected, and this must be paid in all
cases on delivery at the Office of address
9th. These regulations must be strictly OBJ
served, as no accounts are kept with the
Mexican postal department.
1t is proper for me to add to the foregoing
that the mails to Mexico from New England
are sent by sea, and, accordingly, must be
prepaid before the letters or other mail mat
ter are sent. j. M. EARLE, p. NJ.

FREMoNT's ARMY.-A correspondent of the
New York Evening Post, who was with Pre-
mont's army when it crossed the mountains
to fight jackson in the Shenandoah valley,
shows how admirably that march was per-
formed, and how richly Fremont earned the
highest praise for what he did on that occa-
sion. We take the following from this let
teri
SIN the planning of the future conduct of
the campaign, looking towards a new ad-
vanced movement, Fremont, Banks, and
Siegel had been in constant and harmonious
council. There had been entire confidence
and a unanimity of sentiment and opinions,
which would have resulted in a glorious tri-
umph Of the Union cause. With all due re-
| spect to Gen. Pope, who is II brave and excel
| lent officer, Siegel is admitted to be the great
| est tactician and stategist in the army
If either Fremont or Banks had been given
mel, arms and provision, and had then failed
to hold the valley Of the Shenandoah there
| would have been some show of reason in this
| supersedure; but to the contrary, Fremont
had driven jackson back with an energy and
determination with a prudent watchfulness
and forethought, and a marvellous skill of ac-
complishing great ends with little means He
did ''relieve Banks" and, so far as he was
able, ''Sayed the country"
IA The news that Gen. King was assigned to
the command just vacated by Fremont pro-
| duced great electromagnetic gave way to
anger. Gems. Schenck, Platt. and several
other brigadier generals instantly sent in their
designations to Washington, or asked to be
relieved from command. Gen. Carl Schurz
on that day did excellent service to his coun.
try. He understood better than many
who wear the sword the tactics to cam
paign in Washington, and his assurance
that General Sigel would not submit to
the indignity of brigadier-general's appoint
ment over his head, Joined to the protestation
of hundreds of officers in the army, brought
about change Of policy in Washington, and
the public were informed that Gen King had
declined the appointment If true, twas a
pity, for his glory's sake, for that was brave
little army which Gen. Fremont brought back
from Cross KEYS"

FALLEN.-In the police court, on Wednes-
day, was re-eXamined the case of the charge
OF theft against a colored doctor of divinity.
James Pennington, commonly known as CDR
Pennington" preacher of the gospel and a
lecturer on slavery, was brought before the
court on remand, charged with having stolen
copy Of 'Pope's Homer's Odyssey" of the
value of 3s., from the shop of Mr.. Thomas
Stephens, old book seller, Dale street, corner
of Preston street. On this occasion Mr..
leighton, barrister, instructed by Mr.. Cobb,
appeared for the prisoner Mr.. Cobb, in
answer to Mr.. Molly, said he was not prepared
with any witnesses to the prisoners character.
Mr.. Molly said it was very painful thing for
him to have to sentence person who had so
long occupied a position the prisoner had
done, but at the same time he did not see any
course open to them but TO send him to prison
for month. There was no question in their
minds that he (the prisoner) took the book,
and they should have been glad if it could
have been shown he took il in fit of abstrac-
ton; but if that had been so he would not
have denied it, but would have given it up at
once. The boy had behaved exceedingly well
throughout the transaction, and had given his
evidence with truthfulness, no doubt. The
prisoner must 60 to gaol for one month to

THE RECRUITING SERvIcK.-The reports
from towns all around us indicate that active
preparations are going forward for filling up
the regiments. The bounty in nearly all
cases is fixed at SlOe, and is offered with
cheerfulness and unanimity. There is no
doubt that all the towns will take similar ac-
ton, and hasten their recruits into service as
speedily as possible. The demand for labor,
it is true, is very great; the people were new
er before so much ''pre-occupied" But if they
appreciate the crisis in which the country is
placed they will respond as promptly to the
call for men as they have to the other calls
which have been made upon them.

Editors Of the Spy; Please allow me to call
attention to the careless habit, INDUCED in by
many, of emitting their signatures to letters
of Importance, or of signing them only with
their initials, or with their first name Many
such letters, containing valuable enclosures,
are returned from the dead letter office; and,
in several instances, | have been obliged to
send them back to that office, because | could
not ascertain who the writer's were. In other
instances have been able to trace out the
writers by some clue in the letter, and have
restored the letters, with their Enclosures of
money or other articles of value. Yesterday,
l received two letters containing money, from
the dead letter office, which were written by
persons in this city, and addressed to friends
elsewhere, but had failed to reach their desti-
nation. One OF them was signed Sarah
and the other was not signed at all, and the
letters contain nothing which will serve to
identify the writers. Consequently, | shall
probably have to send them both back again
to the dead letter office, and the writer's will
suffer the loss of the money enclosed, by the
careless and inexcusable omission of their
signatures. j. NJ. EARLE, p. NJ.

LEIcEsTER.-In pursuance Of a call of the

for immediate action, and was followed by
Rev. Messrs. Cummings, May, Thurston, and
Coolidge, and John D. Coggswell Esq. Mr..
Smith, of the firm of Lapham 4 Smith, wool
en- manufacturers in Cherry Valley, pledged
his establishment for $500, in aid of the
cause, and in addition that he would be good
for one man TO march forthwith. Joseph A.
Denny Esq, offered a resolution, which
was unanimously adopted, requesting the Sc
lectmen to open a recruiting office immedi-
ately, and offer a bounty of 500 for each re-
cruit, and call a meeting of the town as soon
as possible to take such measures as they may
deem advisable to aid the cause. Though the
number of men called for from this town is
larger than its fair proportion, according to
population, there was evinced a determination
to fill up the list as speedily as possible, and
do all in their power to have the town give a
suitable encouragement to volunteers.
