Over eight hundred companies have already
been rendered the Adiutant- General, who has
applied at Washington for authority to accept
volunteers for nine months under the last call.
If this is allowed, as it probably will be, Illi-

LOSS OF THE GOLDEN GATE.
zoo PERSONS Los
GUERRMLAs DISCONNECTED,

We have some particulars this morning of
the loss of the California steamer Golden Gate
She had on board 337 persons of whom about
200 were lost. The vessel burned to the
waters edge, and then sunk. Nothing is men,
toned as to the prospect of saving the 81, $780,
in gold on freight, and there can be little
doubt that it is total less.
The guerrillas have met with some success
ses in Arkansas, but have encountered serious
reverses in Missouri and Tennessee. The peo-
pie of Missouri have becomo highly exasne-
rated by the continual inroads of these ma
rauders, and are determined to use the most
ris orous means to rid the State of them

PERsoNAL-From what we know of Mr..
NABERs and Mr.. HoUeH, the avowed editors
and proprieters of the Bulletin, they are not
inclined to provoke or invite the attacks Of
others-though of course the public may hold
them to some extent responsible for the use
they permit Mr.. BINGHAM, of most unhappy
temperament to make Of the columns Of their
paper. Ii the most abusive vituperation is
to be hurled from the columns of the BulIeti,,
into the faces of honest men, and their charac-
ters and motives to be assailed, Mr.. BINGHAM
may find the community examining narrowly
into his own triplicate history, and the pro-
prietors CT the Bulletin themselves, through
neglect or criminality of theirs, may be called
to the unpleasant task of explaining and de-
Tending their public and private career. 1t is
for them and Mr.. BINGHAM to say how soon

THE TREMENDOUS STRENGTH OF
NATION.

Our attention has often been turned to the
immense resources Of growing people. Let
any one read Rollins Ancient History and
note how the young republics of Greece re-
sisted the Vaccinations of their strongest en-
emies for years, let him mark how the more
they were taxed in blood and treasure, the
more mighty they often grew in wealth and
numbers, and unity, until the hosts of Persia,
were checked and humbled, and the eagles of
Thebes and Athens, made glorious at Their
mopylae and Salamis and Marathon, pointed
the world to future full of hope and promise.
The classics Of Greece and Rome are the
classics of all nations, because they tell US of
the great struggles Of humanity when the race
was much younger than now, and they have
stored up lessons of courage heroism, disin-
terestedness and patriotic devotion on the one
hand and on the other of .perfdy, and trea-
son on the grandest scale. There are many
bright and immortal names on their tablets,
who have distinguished themselves as great
deliverers, or great benefactors who were
successful in laying the foundations of pros.
porous people, or in building up and
strengthening those who had already
commenced career of honor, glory
and power. But history has handed
down to US no name marked as the leader of
instruction and rebellion whose memory she
cherishes. Their efforts to break down organ
lied governments proved most disastrous fail
ures. It was SO with SPARTACUs, it was 80
with CATALINE, and it will be SO with our
Southern conspirators. They can hope no bet.
Ter result Do you believe it possible, they ask,
for eight millions of people so determined as
the people of the South to be foiled in their
object2 Eight millions, we know, might be
formidable, but can they be as effec-
tive in tearing down a government estab-
blished by such men as WASHINGTON
and his noble compeers, as twenty millions of
intelligent freemen in defending and perpetu-
ating it7 A nation like ours might be star
tied and surprised by such an armed rebellion,
buthow long ere it would rallyits energies and
combine its strength, and pour out its treasure
and blood to meet every emergency Twenty
millions standing upon the platform of VASE
INGToN, encompassed and melted by the hal
lowed memories of revolutionary and immor-
tai sires, charging them by all the blessings Of
civil and religious liberty to defend the Con-
stitution and the Union to the last, become
heroes in the strife, and accumulating power
as the struggle lasts, they ultimately bear
everything before them. Instruction is bro
ken and scattered, and the Constitution and
the enforcement of the laws assume their sway.

FROM HELENA
HOW THE POLICY WORKS.

From the Albany Ledgerl
Mr. Reuben Townsend, who has recently
returned from Helena, Ark, has furnished US
with copy of the free papers issued by Gen.
Curtis to the negro followers of his army.
Here it is:
Special Order SO. ISL.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE SOUTHWEST, I
Helena, Ark, July 81, 1862. I
Jerry White, a cc1ored man. formerly a
slave, having by direction of his owner been
engaged in rebel service, is hereby confscated
as being contrahand Of war, and not being
needed in the public service, Is permitted to
pass the pickets of the command northwa-d,
and is forever emancipated from his master,
who permitted him to assist in attempts to
break up the government and laws of our
country. By command of
MAJ. GEN. CURTIS.
Jerry White, lin red ink.
Mr. Townsend informs US US that there are
about FIVE thousand negroes within the Fede-
raj lines. Every officer is supplied with a
negro servant and also some of the priVates.
The contrabands are employed to do the heavy
| work for which soldiers are usually employed,
receiving wages for the same.
| Mr. T. saw our former fellow-citizen, Capt.
| Thomas Nj. Adams, whose residence is a short
| distance back from Helena. At the approach
of the Federsls, the rebels burned eight bales
of cotton belonging to Capt. Adams. When
| Curtis arrived, all his mules were pressed into
the service and all his negroes-about twenty
in number-have left him. The last family
of negroes belonging to Capt. Adams packed
up their furniture and clothing, and as the
Captain came past their quarters remarked
"Good-by, Massa Tom, we'se gwine to git il
de fust Lincoln wagon dat comes along" and
they did. Mr. Adams was brought intC
Helena for fear be would give information O.
the movements of scouting party.
Mr.. Townsend informs US that the distress
prevailing throughout Arkansas is terrible.

Gov. Ted's Address to the Ladies of Ohio

COLUMBUS, July ITO the Ladies of Ohio:
Your energy and goodness of heart have
given but little opportunity to those in autho-
rity to make suggestions as to how you can
minister to the wants of the soldier, and there
by aid in maintaining our good government
and win for yourselves the smiles of heaven.
As some of you may, however, be ignorant of
the fact that our troops are suffering for the
want of vegetable diet, l beg to recommend
to you that you cause to be put up large guam
titles of picked cabbage, cucumbers and
onious, and that you also see to it that an
abundance of fruit, particularly apples and
peaches, be dried and put away for the sol
diers. God has blessed US with plentiful
supply of all these articles this season. You
will be glad to know that the health Of our
army has greatly improved, and cur various
hospitals are now well managed

JOHN ROSS A PRISONER!
FaII of the Capital of the cheroksss +,

Fah-Lah- Quah, capital OF the Cherokees, is
now in possession of Federal troops They
arrived in time. Under the treaty made by
the Secesh Indians, John Ross was compelled
to call out the available military force of the
nation whenever called upon TO do so by JEFF
Davis. The call has been made, and Ross was
about to issue proclamation calling out all
Cherokees able to bear arms, when made q
prisoner by our forces. 1t is shrewdly sus-
peeted that the arrest was conveniently planned
to admit Ross to give his parole and not 10 do
anything against the United States. 1t is the
general opinion that he is our friend, but over
awed at present.

The forwarding merchants of this city re-

no more cotton from this point North, either
by river or railroad. What this means we
cannot say. Possibly, in its purchase of the

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, August AT daylight
on the morning of the I'd, Col. Lawther, with
one hundred and twenty-five rebels, attacked
Capt. Birch's command of seventy-fVe Fed
erals at Ozark Capt. Birch having been ap-
prised of the meditated attack, fired and aban-
doned his tents, and withdrew into the brush,
soon after which the enemy rode in sight of
the burning camp, and called upon our men
to surrender. Birch responded with volley
of Minnie balls, and emptied several saddles
when the rebels broke and run, leaving most
of their arms and portfolio containing mus
ter rolls and correspondence.
The enemy had two killed and several
wounded.
After retreating forty miles from Forsythe,
on White river Birch attacked them at day
light on the morning of the 4th, killing three,
wounding seven, and capturing twenty-five
horses, twenty guns, most of the clothing and
saddles of the men, about two hundred letters,
the original authority from the War Depart
ment of the Confederate States of America,
authorizing Col. LaWther to organize regi-
ment of partisan rangers for service in Mis-
souri,, Kansas Iowa and Illinois.
Caffey, Hughes and Tracy, are making
strong efforts to get footing in the State, but
the activity of our troops has so far prevented
it. Citizens are being enrolled in the State
militia. Thirty-fve companies have already
organised, fifteen of which have been armed
and are now chasing the guerrillas and assist
ing the troops to maintain quiet There is an
excited State of feeling, and death to guer-
rillas is the motto"
Seven guerrillas were hung in one day by a
party of citizens who joined together for a
fox chase. The time for resort to law, or
watching for government troops has gone by,
and the loyal citizens are determined to take
| the matter in their own hands and rid the
country of lawless marauders and guerrillas.
