REBELS FORTIF'YIMG At COR
louisville,
Gen. Pope on the Move.
Gen. Port Royal Sherman's De-
fense of his Campaign.
SEC. STANT0N'S ORDER on FUR
LOGGHS AND ABsENTEEs:

present Representatives are elected, Tor the
appointment Of collectors and assessors under
he new tag Law. The first effect Of this
.hange would be to render the secretary Of i
Lhe treasury and president independent Of
recommendations By congressman, which
have hitherto been regarded as almost equiv
alent to appointment. Il is said that this
plan hiss been under consideration some time.
It is understood that the government has
been considering the subject Of resorting to
drafting, and begins to think strongly Of
adopting it. It is desired, however, that the
governors Of the States. should take the re-
sponsibility Of deciding in their respective
sections whether it is necessary or not.
Adyices from Europe, received at the State
Department this morning, are quite SIS peace
fnl as any for months past.
The Chicago Issncs' story about rebel gun
boats built in England having run the block
ade at Mobile and opened the port, is pro-
nounced O ridiculous canard at the navy de-
Iartment. They have secret agents in Eu-
rope, whose vigilance would not be so COM
p1etely ontwitted. Besides, no such gunboats
shipyards, and an act like that would amount |
10 war at once.
Aa7ices from Gen: Pope's department indi~
cate that the rebels are fortifying Gordons~
vile. Their strength is estimated ut any
figures from 20 900 up. Popc's forces are no
longer at Warrenton, and Pope himself is en-
ergetical1y On the move.
Gen. port Royal Sherman appears In this
mornings National InteUigeneerin in an elaborate
defense Of bis campaign in South Carolina
He says that the expedition vas not fitted out
to operate in the interior or against Charleston
or Savannah, but with the sole purpose OF
| opening harbor for our blockadlug squadron.
&c says that if he had marched at once On
! Charleston or Savannah he would have de-
! served dismissal from the service and 3
straight jacket. He concludes BY saying that
! he still believes his pfoclaznation to South
| Carolina On his arrival to have been just the
thing! Sherman is here out of command be-
cause officers OF his division in Hal1eck's army
! protested against hi.n as incompetent. No
| other opening for him has since appeared.
Gen. Pope's departure and orders about
officers absent from their commands have
cleared shoulder straps out Of Washington.
There is q scarcity Of brass buttons NOW, in

Of weeks ago. News from Pope begins to
excite hope, and even enthusiasm, over the
! fact of our having made forward movement
| once more.
