Advance Forces:
You have continually led the way in the val
ley Of the Lower NlasissIppi, the Tennessee
and the Cumberland. You have carried the
flag Of the Union fnzthersouth than any other
land forces marching from the interior toward
the seaboard!
Being the first division to enter Fort Henry,
yon also pursued the enemy for miles, captur-
ing from him in his fightsix field pieces, many
Of his standards and flags, a number Of pris-
oners and great quantity of military stores.
Following the enemy to this place, you
we're the first to encounter him outside Of his
entertainments and to driye him within them.
Pursuing your advantage, the next day, be-
ing on the right, you advanced upon his lines,
In the face Of his works and batteries, and for
the time si1enced them
The next day skir1o1ahing all along his left,
you dar1ngly charged upon his redoubts under
deadly fire Of grape and canister, and were
only prevented from taking them by natural
OBSTACLES ona tne accumulated masses Which
were hurried forward to defend them
lhe next DAY 5oh e82ended your faght IN the

intimation Of the impending resignation Of
Mr.. Lincoln In this paragraph:
Private letters from America give reason
to expect other changes In the Government in
addition to those already known as actual OF
impending. The President is, and desires to
continue at the head Of his OWL Government
an arrangement not agreeable to some Of its
own members. It is not unlikely, it is said,
that Mr.. Seward will go out, being succeeded
BY MIR. Chase, at present Secretary Of the

by Mr. Preston King. On the other hand, II

and We hope truthtully, told that a young
lady, now an operative at a shoe factory at
Lynn, Mass, WAS formerly one Of the supper
ten' in Central Europe. She received su-
perior education, learned three or four lan-
guages, moved in high circles in carly life, and
Waltzed and tlirtcd with the younger members
Of the royal family Of her native land. She
left her castle home with false friend, and on
discovering her position, preferred to earn
her living By steady toll in humble calling,
rather than plunge into the gulf Of vice.

KING MOB At SPRINGFIELD.

The trick Of Mr.. O'Melveny is transpa-
rent Relying upon the intense loyalty Of
the people and their deep sympathy with
the wounded soldiers whose flag, blazoned
with the insignia Of victory, floats over
Fort Donelson, this secession sympathizer,
.tor tic sake cf securing recognition Of the
71g1!55uzasess q the usurpat;on that the mob,
under the name Of a Gonrsnt;on, is attempt.
ing, brought forward his proposition to do
nate, Of the funds Of the State, five hun
d1ed thousand dollars to the wounded Of
our Illinois regiments; and, under the
pressure Of party discipline, pushed his L.
legal ordinance through. The trick we
say is transparent Mr.. O'Afelveny, if we
take his public record for the basis Of an
opinion, is but little better than rebel In
fact, he is more mischieVous and politically
more criminal than q whole regiment Of
secessionists. His hope is for the success
Of the great crime His sympathies are
und1sguised1y with the men WHO are en-
dcayoring to overthrow the government His
affiliations are with the women-wMppers /;
and all his actions as citizen out Of doors
and as member Of that Illegal body call
ing itself Convention, tend directly to the
shame and humiliation Of our troops. Fol
lowing the bent Of his inclinations he
would quicker vote an appropriation for
the comfort Of Buckner's ragamufins, than
for the care Of the loyal men who have
perilled their lives that this Free Govern
ment may be preserved. Assuming that
all he has said is the utterance Of his con,
sietions, he ought, to-day, if he is true
man, to be soldier under the flag that on,
brave boys have trampled in the dust. We
do not speak unadvisedly; nor make these
charges without the proof:

To the Editor of the Whig:
Allow me to present you the hOmsgs of my respect
and my most grateful acknowledgements, for the views
aud sentiments concerning "0u' For,gn Relations" you
so hsppily set forth in the Wig, ef the 7.h inst
Naons, so far as Practicable, should be governed in
their intercourse With each other by the rules that
observed by enlightened and rehned communities, and
private individuals in their social aud commercial re.-
tons No gentleman or lady, however e.va:ed In posi-
ton and surroundings he sho may be- will know.
ngly obtruds himself herself into company where
be or she would be unwelcOme.
0bruson Of this kind Is the part and practice only Of
the impudept, uHbiashing Yankees from whom We have
jus separated because we could longer tolerate
sOciAiOn of any kind with them, either politically
or socially. They are row wagng brutal war upon
us simply because cannot aud will not recogniz,
them as our EQUALS They proclaim that the negro is
that score very readily agree with them in that their
opinion. But We feel and know that we are morally,
socially ard politically the supsrOs of both the Negro
Yankee end of the African Negro.
The Confederacy, Independent Nation, has pre-
posed commercial intercourse with Yrance snd England
Francois wiling to sccede to proposition; but for po
tcal reasons which we fully appreciate che for the pre-
sent merely declines But EOgand bunuy scts offer
having Of course the unques!ionabe right to do so
while have right to insist that size must accede TO
It. In this state Of the case our se respect should and
must restrain from initiating the impudent Yankee
by hanging on hat in hand With persistent importantly

As you have said let Commissioner Mr.. Mason, be
instantly recalled aud sent Immediately to France and
there's to Spain. Aud if EoglAnd should hereafter
desire intercourse with us let her solicit It In

GUS OorToN.-Sixteen years ago, the question, Car
Cotton be substituted for gunpoWder was much agi
tated in the newspapers aud elsewhere The question
aier very mlny sac,sss!ul experiments asly Lost
sight Of, but from what cause do no. remember, If
indeed We knew. The question has been revived
and the following Communication, copied from late
number Of the New Orleans Delta may prove probably
interesting at this time We hope tina. chemists, gen.
orally, will give the subject attention.
l. may BE- that our m lilsry authorities have not
sidered the question Wheher in these times It would not
be advisable to resort the manufacture OF gun
powder. Toe scarcity aud high ice Of ordinary gun
powder naturally suggests the inquiry and beg Leave TO
call attention to it.
II cotton be stepped during fifteen minutes in the mo-
nohydate o. szJlic acid and il then WISHED aLd dried
it, cotton though hardly changed in appearance, is
then one OF tho most powerfully explosive substances
known to chemistry.
In Europe Il was once supposed Il would supsrsede
gunpowder, but was liable 10 two objections lst. It's
cCs price sXmes greater than that OF gunpo ader
%. Its plosive force proved too powerful being
much greater than powder that caused the frequent
bursting of hrI- rms. l. was however, positively
certaned that it was superior to gunpoTder for filling
bombs, &c. bomb charged with gun cotton il ten
times more destructive than one Il led with wder.
So, also, gun cotton answers much better for mining
purposes submarine batteries aud the like.
NJthDg prevented iIs being adopted for charging
bombs except it's cost, which three or four times
greater than that Of guupoWder. Now, however, when
sltpere and sulphur c0sI four i've Times than
in ordinary tines the question arises whether gun cot
ton cannot now be manufactured as cheaply as gun
powder: The principal Ingredient Oottor) be had
for the askiag oqr patriotic planters would b, glad
furnish it at the lowest possible price for such
Toe only point to be Sscerianed is whether the oz)tc
acid can be e, ly and cheaply made.
The importance ofincressIng the source OF our sup
plies Of ammunition during the cannot be oVer-es-
tmAted; and If eau indeed great Quantities Of
gunpowdsr for the service Of firearms by using gun
cotton for charging bombs and the like, it should be
done.
