Mr.. Dre1soPs Preamble and Resolution.
The preamble to she resolution introduced
into the Chic House Of Representatives, on
Monday, By Mr.. Dressl of Frsnklin-which
we print elseEhers-shows to what depth
Of political depraEity it is possible for a
Northern bunker to attain. A few weeks
since this Southern tool introduced his famed
series Of Whife-feathsr resolutions defining
and attempting to limit the powers Of the
Federal Government. Those resolutions
having been uncsrsmoniously tabIed-not-
EithEtanding the favor with which they
were received BY Mr.. s. o. erisWOld
Of this county-Mr. Drasel now seeks to ven
tilats his secession sympathies in carefully
Worded preamble to q proper and harmless
resolution. His second aWhereas," in regard
% the hnoiad supposition that somebody de-
sires or Is seeking to 'Fburyp slavery ''under
the ruins Of the Constitution" furnishes re-
nsWsd evidence that the honorable gentle-
nan from Franklin holds the institution Of
slavery IN greater veneration than be does
the OOnsttution Of his country. It is this
class Of men that Gen. Hallsck is daily com
polling 70 take the oath Of allegiance in Ms
sOuri, whilst here, in free Ohio, they are per-
misted to cit In Legislative halls and misrep-
resent loyal people.

Mill Spring and Bull Run.

The battle, near Somerset, of Mill Spring,
or, ms it is called by some of our coltempo-
rariss, "Cliff Creek" affords fruitful theme
for comment, and just cause for exultation
among the Union journals of the country.
The Cincinnati Gazette says that the Rebels
engaged were the flower of the Confederate
army, and that 'they marched from their
entertainments to attack Gen. Thomas ten
thousand strong. A letter found in their
camp states their force in camp at ten thou
sand infantry, one thousand eight hundred
cavalry, and sixteen pieces Of cannon. After
their fight to their sn.rsnchments they prob
ably had as many men there as our Generals
could have brought against the position the
next day. Their position was one of natu-
raj strength, and it would be difficult to
construct more formidable earthworks. The
Rebels were as near to relief as our own ar
my, and they were abundantly supplied with
provisions and every comfort. Yet this large
army abandoned this strong position and
fed, leaving everythins-guns, tents, was-
ons, horses, provisions and baggage. Even
tho cannon were not spiked. This beats
everything in the history of panics, u is
as if at the Bull RIM panic our troops had
abandoned their entertainments, munitions and
stores at Hashinbton and continued their
flight TO the North. Certainly the Bull Run
panic is outdone. At that battle General
Mcdowell had eighteen thousand men Of all
arms. OF these about one-third were panic
stricken and fed from the open field. The
rest withdrew in order. At Mill Springs the
Confslsrates, nino or ten thousand strong,
took fight from strongly fortified position,
abandoning everything in their panic"

A movement is making here by mem

successful.

Army Supplics---ImpOrtant Order
by the Secretary OF War.

The urgent necessity which required the
immediate purchase of arms, clothing, and
other military supplies from foreign coun-
tries, having ceased, the Secretary of War
has ordered -
First. That no further contracts be made
by this department, or any bureau thereof,
for any article Of foreign manufacture that
can be produced or manufactured in the
Quilted States.
Second. A II outstanding orders, agencies,
authorities licensed for the purchase of army
clothing or anything else in foreign couu-
tries, or Of foreign manufacture, for this de-
partmont, are revoked aud annullsd
Third. All persons claiming to have any
contract, bargain, agreement, order, warrant
icepse or authority of whatsoever nature,
from this department, or any bureau thereof,
for purchasing arms, clothing, equipments,
or anything else, to the United States, are
required within fifteen days from this date
to give written notice of such contract, and
its purport, with statement liz writing of
what has been done andcr it, and to file a
copy thereof with the Secretary Of War.
Fourth. All contracts, orders and agree
ments for any supplies should be in writing,
and signed by the contracting parties, and
the original, or copy thereof, filled accord
ing to paragraph lO49 Of the regulations,
with the head Of the proper bureau. 1t is
seldom that any necessity can prevent con-
tract from being reduced to writing, and
even when made by telegraph its terms can
speedily be written and signed; and every
claim founded upon any pretended contract,
bargain agreement, order, warrant, authority
Or license, now outstanding, of which no.
ticc and copy is not filed in accordance
with this order, within the period mentioned,
shall be deemed and held to be prima facic
fraudulent and void and no claim thereof will
be allowed or paid by this Department, I'M
less upon full and satisfactory proof Of its
validity.

The Fight mt Occ0quan,

The following additional particular.
of the fight at Occoquau have been re.
ccived:
On Tuesday night, at rundown, Gen.
Heintzelman sent fifty Of the New York
Thirty-seventh, under Lieut.. Colonel
Burke, to capture some rebels who wore
to be at Portcrs, near Occoqda bridge.
%hoy had to march 10 to II miles
through mud, and reached there about
one o'clock next morning. A dance
was progressing in tho house. which was
frame. and covered with clapboard. A
gun was fred and they were ordered to
surrender. They Immediately refused,
and opened fire on our men through a
window. and then made port holes
through the sides, hoping that their fir
ing would be heard by their comrades
and aid come 10 them. After conside-
rable random firing, whole platoon
fired through the weather boards, and
in few minutes afterwards the firing
ceased, and some one cried out they
had surrendered.
On examination it was found that in
side were bodies of nine privates and
one major of the Texas Rangers and one
civilian dead The man Of the house,
Porter, about seventy years old, was ia
ken up stairs, with a musket, which he
had been using from a window. The
one who surrendered was q civilian, and
said he had been 6ddling for stag
daEce that he was Uni, man and
did not fire a gun, but wanted them to
surrender at first. We had one man
killed and four wounded. Our men
had tho advantage Of darkness to cover
them. and only could be seen when a
gun flashed in firing, while they never
put out their lights. Thus not rebel
escaped to tell the tale, unless they had
some outside as pickets, who fed on
our approach. 1t took place fifteen " lrs
from Alexandria.

The Explosive Qualities OF KerO-
Sene or Coal Oil.

Tho Fire Marshal of Philadelphia, in his
annual report, makes the following remarks
on the manufacture and explosive qualities
Of kerosene or coal oil, now getting to be 50
extensively used:-
Kerosene is fast taking the place Of cam
phene and other burning fluids as a light
There is great confidence reposcd in it, from
a prevalent belief tina. it is the safest of all
the burning fluids, being generally considered
exempt from the chances of explosion. This
confidence would not be misplaced, if the
distillers Of it would always extract the
whole OF the benzine, which is the explosi We
constituent, from the oil. As many of the
manufacturers, tempt d by the prospect of
increased gains, do not do this, every con-
sumner Of the fluid runs a greater or less risk
in its Use, unless fortunate enough to procure
the pure oil. 1t is likewise known that some
of the distillers of burning fluid have been
using, in its manufacture, benzine, IS sub
stitutc for turpentinc, the Southern block ade
having caused the latter article 10 be high,
while the former is cheap. Fluid thus adul-
terated is terribly explosive. In view Of
these frauds, which are criminal, and some
times even murderous in their consequences,
a sense Of duty impels me to give timely
warning to every body to be cautious in their
purchases of kerosene and burning fluids"
