ofthem, he took one OF the boys and shook him
The father being told that the dealer had struc X

Paragraphs like the following from the

our armies in the field are deficient in
numbers
We are assured that there are from
four TO six thousand convalescent sol
dicrs in the immediate neighborhOOd Of
this city and many of them impatient 20
return to their respective regiments. If
IL is, from any cause, impractioable 10
comply with their wishes, we do not un-
derstand why they cannot be temper ari-
ly organized into companies, batialiOns,
and regiments, armed and placed under
efficient officers for drill and IL necessary
for active service. There are idle shout
der-straps 10 be seen on our streets, the
weaTers Of which would find fitting en-
ployment in the supervision Of these con-
valesoents. Inaction ia the very worst
thing for a soldier, as 10 leads TO demon
alization. There should DO immediate
transportation furnished 10 send every
able-bodied man from our camps and
hospitals 10 the front Of our armies, or
they should be massed and disciplined
for home service.

ADDRESS OF GENERAL POPE TO

WAsH1SGToN, July l4.--General Pope
has issued the following address 10 his
troops
10 the officers and soldiers Of tie Army Of
FfTgfnio
'iBy special assignment of the Presi-
dent Of the United States have assumed
command Of this army.
SIN but one instance has the enemy
been able to place our western armies in
defensive attitude.
81 presume that have been called here
to pursue the same system, and TO lead
you against the enemy.
at is my purpose to do 80, and that
speedily.
al have spent two weeks in learning
your whereabouts your condition and
your wants in preparing you for active
operations, and in placing you in po-
sition from which you can act promptly
and to the purpose.
81 have come TO you from the West
whore we have always seen the backs OF
our enemies--from an army whose BUSH
ness it has been 10 seek the adversary,
and 10 beset him when found-whose
/ policy HAS bceh dtfftch hlAN hok NJtftocs
al am sure you long for an opportunity
to win the distinction you are capable Of
achieving-that opportunity ! shall en-
deavOr TO give you.
meantime | desire you TO dismiss
from your minds certain phrases which
am sorry to find much in vogue against
you.
al hear constantly Of taking strong
positions and holding them-of lines OF
retreat--and Of bases Of supplies. Let
us discard such ideas
"The strongest position soldier
should desire to occupy is one from
which he can most easily advance against
the enemy.
Let us study the probable line Of re-
treat Of our opponents, and leave our own
10 take care Of themselves.
Let us look before us aud not be-
hind.
uccess and glory are in the ad-
vance.
"DisAster and and ahame lurk in the
rear
Let us act on this understanding
and il is safe TO predict that your ban
ners shall be inscribed with many aglo'
rious deed, and that your names will b'
dear 10 your countrymen forever

Major General Commanding"

ia Earnest About the xVar--She will

cry loyal arm.
SRrNoPIFrD, July 12.-Governor Yates
has addressed the following urgent letter
10 the President Of the United States;
EXECUTIVE DEfARrMENr,
SPRNGFIELD, July lis
President Lincoln, Washington, d. G.:
The crisis Of The war and Of our nation
al existence is upon MS, The time has
come for the adoption Of more decisive
measures. Greater animus and earnest
ness must be infused into our military
govements. Blows must be struck At the
vital paris Of the rebellion.
The Government should employ all
available means compatible with the rules
Of warfare TO subiugate the traitors.
Summon 10 the standard Of the Republic
all men willing 70 fight for the Union.
Let loyalty, aud that alone, be the diyld-
ing lines between the nation and its foes
Generals should not be permitted to irit-
ter away the services of our brave men
in guarding the property Of traitors, ana
in driving back into their hands Loyal
blacks who offer us their labor and who
seek shelter heath the Federal flag.
Shall we sit supinely by and see the
war sweep Off the youth and strength OF
the land, and refuse aid from that class
Of men who are at least worthy foes Of
traitors and the murderers Of our govern
ment and Of our children
Our armies should be directed TO forage
and quarter on the enemy, and TO cease
paying traitors and their abettors exor-
bitant exactions for food needed by the
sick or hungry soldier.
Mild and conciliating means have been
tried in vain to recall the rebels TO their
/ allegiance. The conservative policy has
utterly failed TO reduce them 10 obedi-
ence and restore the supremacy Of the
laws. They have, by means Of sweeping
conscriptions, gathered in countless
hordes, and threaten to beat back and
overwhelm the armies of the Union.
| With blood and treason in their hearts,
they faunt the black flag Of rebellion in
the face Of the government, and threaten
to butcher our brave and loyal armies
with foreign bayonets. They arm ne
groes and merciless savages in their be-
half
Mr.. Lincoln, the crisis demands great
er efforts and sterner measures. Pro-
claim anew the good old motto Of the he
public, "Liberty and Union, now and
forever, one and inseparable," and ae-
cept the services of all loyal men, and i
will be in your power to stamp armies
out Of the earth-irresistibl armies, tha
will bear our banners to certain victory
Illinois, already alive with the beat o
the drum, and resounding with the tread
of new recruits, win respond to thei
call, Adopt this policy, and she vii
leap like flaming giant into the fight
This policy for the conduct of the wa
will render foreign intervention impossible
and the arms Of the Republic invincible
It will bring the conflict TO a speedy
close, and secure peace on permanen
basis. RIoHARD YATES,
Governor Of Illinois.

The Virginia correspondent Of the
N. York Times tells of an instance wherein
the devil was caught in his own trap; a
rare occurrence, since the old gentleman
has quick ears and sharp eyes
AReBel Trick Frustrated.
Major Clendenin, with a command from
the 9Th Illinois Cavalry, were on a recon-
nOissance yesterday. He made a dispo-
sition Of his men along the road, and
soon came in sight of the enemy, A flag
of truce was soon discovered coming
from the side Of the enemy. After their
introduction TO the Major, it soon became
apparent that their visit was mere
blind. About this time oontraband
came in and stated that the Union forces
were in range Of three Geld pieces that
the Rebels had just placed in position
under this flag Of truce, and as soon as
the flag Of truce party left, and were out
of danger, they intended 10 open upon
our gallant fellows The Major at once
made an examination, aud found this
story TO be true. He at once informed
his treaeherous enemy at the sonnd OF
the first gun he would cut their throats.
He at once Withdrew his force out OF
range, the enemy not daring to fire on
account of their friends.

The ngat at Cynthiana commenced
about 8 o'clock Thursday afternoon, and
lasted about thirty minutes, the small
