What the Rebe1s intend.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Captain German
of the Mount Washington says there is a ru-
NOR at Norfolk, which is believed by some,
that Merrimac No. 2, and the new ram which
the rebels have at Richmond, intend to run
through our fleet in James river, attack the
Minnesota and other vessels at Norfolk, and
take the city; also, it is said and believed by
the Unionists that they have full supply Of
arms in their houses, and are ready to strike
blow simultaneously with the approach of
the rebel steamers.
Quite an unusual number of boats are seen
on the bay, crossing either way, which Capt.
German thinks are in the employ of rebels,
and he is of opinion that, as most of our gum
boats are elsewhere employed, the secession
lists in lower Maryland and eastern Virginia
are in constant communication with each 9TH
er by this means.

From Gen. Pope,s Command.

WARRENToN, Va, July 3O.-Col. Lloyd Of
the 9th Ohio cavalry, commanding at Luray,
yesterday, in pursuance of Gen. Popes order,
arrested all the male inhabitants of the town
and lodged them in the court house, prepare
tory to administering the oath of allegiance
This course is rendered imperatively neces-
sary by the fact that several have left their
homes, and, it is supposed, to join the guer-
rillas who infest the west side of the South
Fork, and in one instance captured the river
pickets.
A prominent secession farmer and his son
residing near Little Washington, left here
yesterday for the mountains, taking horses,
equipments, and arms. Last night one of oul
pickets was fired on by two guerrillas in that
vicinity, who are supposed to have been the
farmer and his son. All was quiet at Gull
pepper at last advices.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The president to-
day commissioned the following named cap
tains to be admirals on the retired list, under
the recent act:-Chas. Stewart, George c.
Read, VIM. b. Shubrick, Joseph Smith,
George w. Slower, Francis II. Gregory, E.
A. f. Lavellette, S. f. Stringham, Hiram
Paulding; and the following captains to be
rear admirals on the active list David G..
Farrall, L. M. Goldsborough, f. ID. Peck, A
II. Foote. The law provides that rear admi-
rails shall be selected by the president, by
and with the advice of the senate, from those
captains who have given the most faithful SER
vice to the country.
At an early hour yesterday morning a
squad of cavalry proceeded to the residence
of colonel T. f. Bowie, near Upper MARI
boro', and took him into custody. He was
brought to the city, yesterday afternoon, and
after being before the provost marshal, was
sent to the old capitol. He is still confined.
The charge against him is said to be that of
aiding federal soldiers to desert.
The postmaster general and the commits
sioner of internal revenue to-day approved of
the specimens for the postage stamp currency,
which will be for five, ten, twenty-five, and
fifty cents. The designs embrace the present
five and ten cent postage stamps tastefully ar
ranged in such way that they cannot be sep
arated and used for postage. They will be
printed on bank note paper, of different sizes,
averaging about one fifth the size of United
States notes, and furnished in sheets during
the next two weeks.
The president and cabinet are understood
to have decided upon the immediate adoption
of vigorous measures to repress treason in
Maryland and elsewhere in the border states.

Affairs in Kentucky,

LOUISVILLE, July 29.-It is reported that
guerrillas, under Col. Gaus took Russellvile
this forenoon, killing one or two of our lieu
tenants and badly wounding Capt. Morrow of
Kentucky.
Volunteers say that the collision between
the home guards of Russelville took place by
mistake. A few hours after the capture of
RuSsellville a portion of Union regiment
was due there, and has probably arrived and
reinstated matters The telegraph is working
south to Nashville, but we can get nothing
from Russellville, which is on branch. The
theory is, that the rebels took away the oper-
ators before the arrival of the forces.
Gov. Magoffins proclamation calling the
Kentucky legislature together on the 14th,
says: ''The military board still claims to be
the paramount military authority of the COM
monwealth, and express an unwillingness to
resign the powers heretofore exercised by
them or permit their exercise by me-" The
governor further says: ga civil conflict is
impending over us. am without a
soldier or a dollar to protect the lives, pro-
perty and liberties of the people, or to en-
force the laws. Daily appeals are made to
me as governor of the state to protect our cit

enjoyment of their property and rights under
the constitution. | am without means and
power to afford relief, and 1 am left no alter
native but to appeal to you, their representa-
tives, in the hope that it will not be in vain.
Any attempt on my part to organize force
for that purpose will certainly but precipitate
the evil, and l therefore not unwillingly con-
vene the general assembly, that they may
themselves determine the extentof the author
ity granted by them, and also looking to the
policy adopted by the state, and the late ac-
ton of congress and the president touching
the question of slavery, provide for the safety
of our institutions and the commonwealth"
PARIS, KY, July Boy yesterday party of
two hundred guerrillas, from Boone county,
under Col. Bullet, demanded the surrender
of Mount Sterling, Ky. Being refused, they
attacked the place, and were repulsed by the
home guards. During their retreat tine guer-
rillas were met by party under Major
Bracht of the eighth Kentucky, who drove
them back toward the town, where they were
again attacked by the home guards. The re-
suit was complete stampede of the guerril-
las, they losing all their horses, eight men
killed, and forty-eight prisoners, wounded I'M

Affairs in Tennessee.

MEMPHIS, July 28.-Gen. Grant has order
ed Gen. Sherman to take possession Of all
unoccupied dwellings, stores, and manufacto-
ries, for the government and also, where the
owners are absent and rebels, to collect their
rents for the government. The military COM
mission has commenced taking list of such
property. The guerrillas captured prominent
citizens of Haywood county, on Saturday,
for selling cotton. One was shot dead while
attempting to escape. The remainder were
taken to Mississippi.
Price has sent two hundred cannon across
the Mississippi, near Napoleon, and is en-
deavoring to cross with his whole army The
rebels say that Price is to command in Mis-
souri, Hindman in Arkansas, and Magruder
to be over both, inaugurating a vigorous cam
paign. The Union forces are ample to check
them.

Affairs in Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, July 29.-Information has been
received that large force of guerrillas has
entered Missouri from Arkansas, and are now
encamped near the state line in Howell and
Texas counties. They are represented to be
commanded by Mcbride, and include the
gangs headed by Coleman and Hawthorne.
Many refugees from these counties and
White county have reached Springfield and
Raleigh. Our troops at Houston, Texas
county, have been sufficiently reinforced to
repress any demonstration from Mcbride. IL
is stated that at least 800 men joined Porter
on Saturday from Monroe county. Fifty per-
sons left Hannibal on Saturday night, tearing
rebel depredations. The most intense excite
ment prevails all over these counties. Ianni-
hal is almost deserted and most OF its citizens
have arrived in this city.
RoLLA, Mo-, July 29.-At Sdllville, on
Sunday night, it was estimated that I5OO
mounted and armed men had crossed the
state road from Potosi to Jefferson, WITHIN
ten miles of that place, for Dixie. About
fifteen hundred have organized and put out
from Salem and vicinity within the last three
davs and since that time they have stam-
NEEDED across the railroad in great numbers
hetween Rolla and Merrimac. They take
horses. clothiug, arms, ammunition, and sup
plies of every kind they require wherever
thev find IT, A merchant was robbed OF one
hundred dollars and clothing and goods and
two fine horses. On Sunday night other
horses were taken from the same vicinity.
This species of property is openly demanded
and forcibly taken.
Near Cuba, on Sunday night, man was
shot while defending his arms from seizure by
bandits. Another had rifle presented to
his head with orders to bring his best horse
from the stable and present the same to JEFF
Davis. Half way between Cuba and Lees
burg. as train passed yesterday, there was
drawn up within short rifle range large body
of men seemingly well equipped and estimated
at one hundred. all believed to be bound toI
Prices army at Stillville. Secessionists were
confident that Mcbride was within two days
march of that place.
MEXICO, Mo-, July 30.-From an officer
lust in from the field, get the following rell-
able account of the fight at Moore's Mills, II
miles east of Fulton, Monday afternoon. Our
force under Col. Gintar was about 700. The
rebel force is believed to be 800 or 900. Our
loss was 10 killed and 80 wounded. The reb-
els left so dead on the field, and had about
100 wounded. The fight lasted three hours,
when the rebels fled in great confusion. Por-
fer went east and Cobb went west.

CHICAGO, July 30.-A special dispatch from
Vicksburg dated the 23rd, says by mutual
agreement between commanders Davis and
Farragut an attempt was made yesterday to
capture the Arkansas. The fleet from below
was to engage the lower batteries and the fleet
above would engage the upper ones, while the
gunboats Essex and Queen were in the mean
time to attack the Arkansas and tow her out
In consequence of misunderstanding only a
few shells were fired from the mortars below
which it is known had no other effect than to
direct the fire from the Essex.
This vessel attempted to run into the Ar
kansas and jam her against the levee, but the
latter swung round and the Essex grazed her
side As she passed she gave the rebel craft
three eleven-inch shot from her bow guns.
Upon finding herself unsupported she drop
ped down the river. The Queen coming to
her aid ran into the Arkansas, making her
tremble from stem to stern. Recovering her
SELF the Queen ran on her again, but so torci-
bly, as to strain her own works badly. Both
then returned up the river. During the en-
gagement the Essex received several shots and
had one man killed.
