PRESIDENT LINcoLNs BARRICADE.-The
fact, says the New York Evening Post, that
the President is charged with inaeeessibIlity
bv Senators and others, has led friends of
Mir. Lincoln to make Inquiries of him and
his private secretary as to the facts of the
matter. They are what every body sup
nosed them to he--that the President has
not time to see everybody who calls upon
him-that he must deny somebody. To a
gentleman who called TO discuss the matter,
the President remarked, have not looked
into a newspaper for month";" " Therein
Won have made an immense mistake" was
the reply. "Whatever and whoever else
You neglect, do not fail to understand pub
lie opinion, and the wants Of the people,
and YOU cannot obtain this knowledge ex-
cept through the newspapers" .r
This incident calls to mind the practice
of Secretary Marcy while he was in Wash
ington. He steadily employed an intelli-
gent clerk-George w. Newall-to look
over all the prominent journals, friendly
and unfriendly, extricating the particular
passages which should be noticed. One
hour of each day str. Marcy devoted to this
newspaper clerk, who read to him striking
passages, and in an article prepared by him
gave brief history of the journalism oi
the day. In this way the Secretary
kept himself constantly informed of the
position of his political friends and enmIes

BB The reception of Gen. Jim Lane at
Chicago, indicates the popularity of his
mode of dealing with the rebellion. The
people have no sympathy for traitors, and
hail with satisfaction man whose avowed
policy is to "attack, pursue and destroy
the rebellious enemy, and deliver the coun-
try menaced by traitors" Loyal men
honor him, because they believe that he will
strike hard and quickly whenever he takes
the field.
Mrs. Lane, during her stay in Chicago,
was presented by a mechanic of that city,
who modestly withheld his name with 8
splendid carriage valued at 81, ,OOO The
gentleman who made the presentation
speech thus alluded to Gen. Lane, in con-

TRANSPORTATION FOR THEGovERNMENT.-
AS an evidence of the immense business
done by the Government in the way of
transportation, it is stated that during the
past six weeks there have been forwarded
to Washington, from Baltimore, 5000 feet
of lumber (including heavy timber stoekl
$4,000 cords of wood, and 10000 tuns of

heavily laden with freight, have passed

R6p The General Order of Gen. Hunter,


R The General Order of Gen. Hunter,
in another column OF this mornings Jour
nal, is a very erarkable document. Un-
less we have read the Eastern papers of the
last month to no purpose, the expedition to
which Gen. Lane has been assigned, is en-
tirely independent of Gen. Hunter, or his
department. All the details of the expe-
dition have been arranged in Washington.
Ample power has been conferred upon Gen.
Lane to use his own judgment in con-
Quoting the war, and he is en- route to
Leavenworih to take his command, under
orders from Gen. Mcclellan. We are now
informed by Gen. Hunter, that the expe-
dition designated in the newspapers as
Gen. Lanes expedition will be led in person
by the Msjor- General commanding" The
order conveys the idea that Gen. Hunter

-ohoIo, the EoyaI Indian

OpOtheyOhOIO, the Loyal Indian
Tells his story to Maj. General
Hunter.
We have received the Leavenworth Con-
servative Of the 23d inst, containing
an account of recent interview between
Opotheyoholo, the celebrated Indian CHIEF,
and Gen. Hunter. 1t contains the particu-
lars of the recent fight between the rebel
and loyal Indians, and we. publish the &C
count in full. Major Cutler was formerly a
resident of this city.
Yesterday Opotheyoholo, the head chief
of the Creek Nation, in company with Col
VIM g. Coffin and Major @. A Cutler, had
an interview with Major Gen. Hunter.
Opothyeholo, through an interpreter, told
Gen. Hunter the recent terrible events he
had gone through.
The danger of remaining in their own
/ country becoming fearful, John Ross call
| ing himself Union man, had told the loyal
/ Indians to 90 on to the Cherokee lands.
| They followed his advice and were attacked
| the first night after reaching the camping
| grounds designated by Ross. When the
| Union Iadians-only ? 2, 2,000-were attacked
/ by the rebel IuuIanE and Texans--more
than 3,000--they fought like tigers. The
| Unionists followed the rebels five miles and
| slaughtered the villaiFs as they fed.
The Union Indians then changed neir
camp and agaia took the position desIgDa-
ted by John Ross. The next day,
ttorces not being strengf 1ed and remain
ing the same, were atIacAed by rebel In
dians under Mcintosh and Drew, and Tex
ans and Arkansans under Gen. Cooper, and
the rebels were again defeated and driven
back, leaving ffty-fve rebels dead on the
field. The rebel prisoners taken in these
two engagements were 4" dispatched" with
arrows.
The Union Indians then fell back to the
northern boundary of the Cherokee Nation
and there remained unmOlested for two
days.
On the third day, while large numbe
of the Union Indians were out seeking pro
visions for the destitute families, they wer,
again attacked by an increased force-no
less than 1000 in all.
The battle commenced at 10 o'clock il
!, the morning and lasted till night, the Uniol
Indians maintaining their position. Thei

LETTER FROM Col. S. S. FRY.-Mrs. Fry,
wife of the gallant Colonel S. S. Fry, of
the 4th Kentucky regiment, received let
ter at Dsnville on Frid'y last, from Col. F.
written after the battle near Somerset
He details in the letter the manner in
which he killed Gen. Zollicoffer, which va
ries somewhat from the many statements
we have seen. Col. Fry was in tie act of
leading his regiment into a charge upon
the Mississippians, when Gen. Zollicc fer,
accompanied by his cid, rode up to MIN
and said: You are ot going to fight
your friends, are you? These men [point-
ing to the Mississippiansl are all your
friends" In the meantime lollicoffer's aid
fred upon Col. Fry, wouoding his horse,
from which wound the animal died. Col.
Fry tneRAtngned and fired upon Zolliffer
with fatal effect. Gen. 2. evidently labored
under the impression that Col Fry was a
rebel officer. The stories about the old
intimacy of the two officers are all untrue.
They had never met before, nor did Col.
Fry know the rank of the officer upon
whom he fired, as the evidences of his rank
we're covered by cloak which Gen. Zoili-
Golfer wore in battle. =soa -

FIax Cotton and Flax Wool,

Many persons seem to be rather skepticaI
in regard to the success Of fax cotton, or
rather, as to whether it has really been ac-
complished. and many are ready to cry out,
humbug" without taking pains to enquire
iuto its merits and the facts in regard TO it.
We have undoubted assurance that Messrs
Hall & Farrar, of Jamaica Plains, have
mandatory in full blast, for the purpose of
converting tii, f',rc of flax into cotton and
wool, by rev process recently invented,
and that they are making about ton per
day ! for (which there is steady and in
creasing demand; and when mixed with
wool, is said to make a superior article over
that of cotton mixture. The fibre wears
better and the color is more permanent.
They also manufacture of this material,
prints, cloths, fannels, stockings, satinets,
cassimeres, blankets, &c.
The fax cotton can be produced at from
eight to ten cents per pound, which is
cheaper than King Cotton himself, and will
pay the farmer literally for raising it, aside
from the seed. q
In many parts of the country, farmers
cultivate Flax for the seed only, which pays
fully as well, and in many instances better
than corn, less trouble and more certain
market. meeting was recently held at
Lockport, N. Y, for the purpose of organ
izing company for the manufacture OF
Flax Cotton, and to convert it into Cloths
Ex-Governor Hunt and Hon. S. B. Ruggles
were present and took part in this meeting
1t will thus be seen that fax cotton, and
the manufacture of cloth from the material
is fixed fact, and that King Cotton is in q
fair prospect of being faxed out.

We were pleased 20 meet yesterday,
Lieut. Bruner of the 25th Regiment who,
with Captain Larkin and six seargeants have,
returned home on recruiting service. The
regiment is still at st. Louis, and on Sun
day last mustered 500 sound men, with fifty
in the hospital who will recover. 1t is the
desire of the officers to fill up the 25th to
its former number, and these officers will at
once enter upon the duty assigned them. A
fine opportunity is afforded young men of
joining regiment already in the field, and
which will undoubtedly see active service
before long. The Twenty-ffth is oficered
by brave and gallant gentlemen, who know
how to treat the men under them while in
camp, and who in battle, will lead them in
the thickest of the fight
