STORM.

bTOhHs
A severe storm passed over the camp this
forenoon, and during Its continuance we
heard nothing of artillery practice at Island
No. 10. This afternoon the shower has
passed, and the roar of the mortars is heard
continually. A furious bombardment is pro-
gressing. The peculiar rolling roar Of the
mOrtars reverberates across the swsmps to
the camp like che artillery of Heaven.
PAYING OFF.
This entire army will be paid of this week.
The psymaster, escorted by two companies
of cavalry, arrived to-day from sikeston with
the necessary funds.
SAFETY OF THa TELEsRAPR.
The PRONUNCIATION of Gen. Pope's orders
relative to depredations upon the telegraph,
is causing the liveliest satisfaction. The
General means business, and holds the in
hAbitants indirectly responsible for the In
tegrity Of the line.
NEws FROM TIE REBEIs.
A tesmster, who has just returned from
Commerce, reports that Col. s. G. Kithen,
the wen known Colonel of the rebel Thomp-
sons band Of thieves, is in the swamps back
of that post with squadron Of rebel cav
airy estimated at two hundred, and that fears
are entertained that Union men in that Vi
cinity will be subjected to fresh outrages.
Another report is current this evening
that JEFF Thompson has assembled q force Of
considerable strength at HOlcomb's Island at
the terminus Of the plank road extending
westward from Point. Pleasant, about twelve
miles from this camp. His position is rep
resented by scouts as exceedingly strong,
and his defenses 60 arranged thai with 81
insignificant force, he can Withstand slmost
any army we can bring against him.
sECRsE COUNTRY.
The entire country hereabouts is strongly
secession. The women are particularly viO'
lent and denounce the army and Govern
ment in unmeasured terms The men, from
motives Of prudence, keep quiet tongues il
their heads, but it is thought they navigat'
the Bwamps and bayOuS at night in skifI
and dug-outs, and carry important informa
ton to the enemy.

ARE THEY PATRIoTs.-While the coun-
try is bleeding at every pore, while it is
struggling for its very existence, while
Union men everywhere gre holding meet
ings to encourage the enlistment of soldiers,
and to raise money to better remunerate
those soldiers and TO provide for the subsist-
ence of their families, the leaders of the 9th
of January Democracy are holding meet
ings to deDounce the administration, TO en-
barrass the government, 10 divide and dis
tract the people, and by insidious misrepre-
sensations discourage enlistments, their
party clap traps, all looking to the advance
ment of party. Can these men or their pa
pers be considered patriotic, and lovers of
their country2 Can these men expect to
deceive the people longer as TO their objects
and their aims Certainly no one can fail
to see that their love of country has be-
come swallowed up in their love of party
and political Offices.
That men protesting patriotism will act
So is beyond all comprehension. Is it not
the infatuation of madness If the REBEL
lion 10 not suppressed, if we have no Gov
erEment, what advantage will 1t be to those
men to hold Officer We cannot believe
they are so blinded as not to see that il
would be barren victory. Thinking men
cannot help believing they have Interior de-
signs of character more reprehensible than
the mere desire of Office. 1t can be no other
than a design TO indirectly assist the rebel
lion, and destroy the Government, with the
hope that they may obtain power and place
in the despotism which they know must
follow.
