The RuAer u 1lgols Shooting Ceaeral
09eOoWoa1s
It appears that the rumor which startled
the country last week, to the effect that
General Sigel had shot Gen. Mcdowell ct
Warrenton, had it, origin in the army.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Even;ny Pssl
says: Z
During the early part Of the week, the
unfounded rumor Of the death Of General
Mcdowell was prevalent all through the
army. It was said that on Sunday Gen.
eral Sigel was about to execute . ma
noeuvre, with the understanding that he
should 1t the proper time receive the
assistance and cooperation Of General
AcDowelrs command; but Mcdowell did
not advance the troops, and 80 the troops
and 20 the attempt proved . failure. One
| rumOr charged it 70 the cowardice or in
efficiency Of Mcdowell; another stated
that General Sigel actually detected HIN
making signals to the enemy. Drawing 9
pistol, the reporter stated, the gallan,
German, reproaching him with his con-
duet, shot him in the head, killing hin
instantly
This rumor, with many exagserstions
was generally credited through the entir.
army Of Virginia. and even BY the soldier
Of the army Of the Potomac but two Of
three days afterwards, our informant saw
General Mcdowell on horseback, with ne
appearance of having suffered injury.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1862-09-06

While thus charging, General Stevens
was hit With MIME ball and instantly
killed, but not until the enemy had been
routed
"Kearnsy's batteries now opened on the
rebel forces, causing great havoc among
them. Diminishing was kept up for about
three hours, when the enemy retired ana
the train passed on. The enemys loss
was heavy" .
On Tuesday, Gen. Mcclellan was restor-
ed to the supreme command Of all the
forces in Virginia, and he at once COM
menced the movement of Withdrawing
the army from the line now reaching from
Manassas to Fairfax, and manifestly indie
feasible, into the Notifications around
Washington. The whole movement vas
nearly accomplished before the enemy
became aware of it, and it was only when
the rear guard, consisting of Fitz John
Porter's and Hooker's divisions had pass.
ed Fairfax, that the enemy seemed to
wake up to the truth, and commenced
harrassing the rear. The enemy, however,
was effectually kept in check.
Sh.s0 ~ ~" Out WV AAsOAo sSsseS
exactly in the same position from which
it marched out last February. Thus all
their movements seemed more to aim at
getting into Maryland and into . country
where the supplies are not wholly exhaust
ed a. they are in Virginia than into
Washington, are banked. The fortiiea'
tons about Washington can be as we'll
defended by new as by old troops, and
now, If the rebels attempt to cross the
Potomac, the whole Of the old regiments
can be spared to oppose them, while il
they had been kept at Centerville and
Manassas, such could not have been the
case.
The enemy, all except Jacksons corps
on Wednesday appeared to be massed
near Manassas, while jackson, with 40, 600
was at Leesburg, evidently designing to
cross into Maryland, if possible. -
Burside's division, strangely through al
these exciting events, has been wholly
unheard Of. He appears to have remained
quietly at Fredericksburg until Friday or
Saturday, when the place was evacuated !;
but whittier he has gone has not yet been
revealed.

The Spirit Of Faction.

The Chicago Christian Isn4s, in its issue
of the present week, has very sensible
article in reference to the incorporate
criticisms and violent attacks upon the
President by Henry Ward Beecher, in the
New York Independent, and by Wendell
Phillips on the stump 1t winds UP as
follows:
"Shoul6 we, in our far more limited
sphere of observation, not think always as
the President seems to think with regard
TO the fit time and way, we shall try to
give him the benefit of the donbt whether
be or we knows best about the matter
With all due Difference to the superior
talents Of Mr.. Phillips and Mr.. Beecher,
We are Of opinion that it is barely possible
that the President may differ even from
thtm and not be fool
The spirit Of faction and complaint al
ways shows itself in times in times of
great national upturnings. There is, how
ever, yet TO be found in all history a soli-
tsry instance in which it has rendered
service TO any good cause. Always, it is
q mischief and . hindrance Often it has
brought nations in the time Of their crisis
to the brisk of ruin. The fomenters Of
such spirit bear also, in history, brand
of infamy. The captious, querulous, fault
finding class always prove in the end to
have hindcred far more than they helped
1t is surely no service to any nation to de
stroy confidence, at a time of peril and
extremity, In those whom the nation has
chosen to hold the helm and trim the
sails"

Ere. Labor viii grow Cotton.

rD~~~e SOSsO.S
So says the Hon. Robert j. Walker,
President Polk Secretary Of the Treasury,
and long citizen of Mississippi, which he
represented in the United States Senate
In a letter to the Washington "Star" in
favor of the Presidents Emancipation pro-
ject, he says:
II know It is asked, How shall we then
cultivate the cotton lands of the South
without slaves? This does not apply to
the Border States; but before closing these
letters | will prove conclusively, by the
census and other statistics, what, from
long residence IN the South, and from
having traversed every Southern State, /
know to be true, that cotton Is now raised
there most extensively and profitably by
nonslaveholders, and upon farms using ex.
clusively white labor. In Texas, especially,
this is a great truth; nor is there doubt
that skilled, educated, persevering and
energetic free labor, engaged voluntarily
for wages or its own use, would, in time,
especially when aided by improved culture
and machinery, produce much larger
crops and better cotton than is not raised
by the forced and ignorant labor of slaves,
and at much sheaper rate, at a far great
ed in the North, and in more salubrious
climate, as shown BY the census"
This Is what we have always held
Clean the negroes out of the southern
states, and the production of cotton, sugar.
and even rice will Increase in time instead
of decrease. But free the negroes and
leave them there, and the south will be-
come desolation,-a second Jamaica and
Hayti. Experience in the Islands named
has shown so conclusively, that none but =
fanatic or fool disputes it, that the FREQ
negro will not work for wages. The cotton,
sugar, and coffee plantations of those
islands, once supplying the world with the
articles named with an increased negro
population, have gone to waste, and the
inhabitants 60 naked and live on the
spontaneous fruits Of tho country. So in
the south, the production of all articles
requiring labor would cease, and the ne
groes would live on yams and peanuts
rather than work. 1t would be infinitely
better for the negroes, if they cannot be
shipped out of the country, to retain them
as SLAYER. This We know is not the
pseudo philanthropy and CANNON Of the
day, but it is the teaching Of experience
and common sense. Any scheme of eman-
cipation which does not emprace a cock.
tensice deportation of the negroes, is simp.
ley n scheme Of crHelty, wicke dness, and
folly.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1862-09-06

The blockads ct Charleston II run daily,
and . brisk business il done in cotton,
which il shipped in large quantities to
England. Thus South Carolina, which
was foremost in bringing about the war, ID
permitted to sell her cotton and enjoy q
lucrative trade, while the planters of Ar
kansas, Tennessee and Mississippi are
forced to see their cotton committed "a
the flames! South Carolina seems to be
the pet of the Confederacv.

Singular Facts.

The report Of tho provost marshal Of
New Orleans shows that II, 723 persons in
that city have taken the citizens oath Of
allegiance tothe United State government.
cas-: for member of the state convention
that caused tie stete to sccede, and hurried
it into the war. At that election the votes
stood about 4,2OO for secession delegates,
and 1900 against-the maximum majority
for secession being 1888. and this majority
attained by palpable frauds
These facts prove :he existence of "union
sentiment in New Orleans to . greater ex.
tent than has generally been credited.

How He OPERArED-It appears by
Morgans account of bis late foray that he
was greatly aided in his purpose by taking
with him an instrument to intercept tele-
graph dispatches, and at every station he
got he sent off dispatches of his own move
ments to mystify the Union Generals and
intercepted theirs, 50 that he knew all the
movement intended to operate aginst him,
and frequently stopped them entirely by
dispatches which caused the troops to be
sent in another direction. The people
about Nashville aud Louisville must have
had verybig scare upon them the time
they we're fooled by Morgan in this man
nsr for several days in succession.

As the place is well fortified and the gar

STOLEN HoRsE REcovERkD.-In Septem-
Der, year ago, horse was stolen from
Mr.. 7. J. Wilson, in Fulton Co., Ill. After
vain search of six months, the case was
entrusted to Mr.. Crane Of this city, and
his corps Of detectives. 1t was nearly six
months more until they succeeded in
tracking the horse home. He was ascer-
tanned to be near a place called Bowling
Green, in Clay county, Indiana, in posses
sion of man believed to be innocent, who
had bought or traded for him, but had
frequently expressed his fears that the
horse had been stolen. Learning his
whereabouts, Mr.. Wilson proceeded to
Indiana in company with Mr.. Crane, iden-
tilted the horse, proved property, and .
few days ago returned with him to Illinois.
The case is worthy of notice only as illus
tratins how widespread and certain Of
ultimate success, the detective system has
become.

Experience has shown, that however SIM
pie are the steps necessary for disabled
soldiers or their widows or children TO
secure their arrears OF pay, bounties, &C.,
from the government, few are sufficiently
au fat ia business matters 70 take those
steps. Tho i,sult il, they employ "war
claim agents" whose charge, however
reasonable, still takes serious psceentaes
Of the comparatively small amount in most
cases recovered. To avoid this tax on the
poor soldiers or their heirs, . number Of
benevolent persons in Chicago have asso-
ciated themselves together, elected Board
Of Directors, &C., and opened "A Office,
where they offer to perform this business
