Clothed the sons Of Mars with thunder,
And the Livery ofhell;

And the war cry rent the heavens,

When the cannou's sheeted lightning
Flames upon the startled air,
It's boom is but the mocling echo

For the northern arm is lifted
Not to strike mighty wrong,
But his strength is spent and wasted
Forging his letters fast and strong.
Thus we lay aside our manhood,
TrampHng duty 10 the dust,
Yet from out the smoke Of conflict
Right must come for God is just.
When we dare TO do duty
What we now would do for might,

motion to adopt the Peoples ticket nomi-
mated at the Faneu Hall convention, was dis
cussed with considerable warmth. Resolu-
lions were read, pledging support in the use
OF all legitimate means to suppress the rebel
lion: urging the President to stand by the
Constitution; repudiating the meeting of the
Governors; eulogizing Gen. Mcclellan; smy-
pathizing with the families and friends OF those
who have fallen; that the province OF the Gov
eminent is to save the Union, and not to save
or destroy slavery: that we are opposed alike
to secession and abolitionism, and there can
be no permanent Union where these exist !:
rendering sympathy to the loyal men in the
border States; recommending making nonom-
nations, but expressing willingness to unite
with conservative men Of all parties; regret
ting that the President, forgetful of his obi
cations, has issued his emancipation procama-
ton, and protesting against it, and against the
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, aud
calling on the President to restore the trial by
jury, and giving freedom of speech and to the
press. Judge Wells moved to amend by rec
ommending the adoption of the Faneui Hall
ticket. The convention adjourned amid great
confusion, and without clearly leaving any
record of its action.

drew his check on the b-Treasurer at Bos-
ton for $4,000, which was cashcd at the Interna-
tional, lie had standing to his credit on the
Sub-Treasurer's books upwards of $4,000.
But dispatches had been received by the Sub
Treasurer from Augusta, stating that fears
were entertained that Lieut. c. was default
err, and, therefore, the ub-Treasurer refused
to honor the check. 1t is also said that all the
deficiency there is, amounts to about $1,000,
which Lieut.. G. says he has lost in some unac-
countable manner. The bills which he re-
ceived from the International Bank had not
been touched, and the packages were un-
broken. They are now in the hands of Capt.

FORTRESS MONROE. Oct. Z.
Commissioner Ould, of the rebel Govern
ment refuses TO exchange the prisoners of State
belonging to Virginia, on the ground that they
were taken on the territory belonging to the
Confederacy.
The Richmond Examiner of the 9th con-
tains the military exemption act passed Sept.
10th. which exempts police for sections of the
country having dense negro population, edi-
tors, and such help AS they require in their
business, employees of transportation and tel
egraphic companies, ministers, physicians,
shoemakers, tanners, blacksmiths, wagon max
ers, mllers, superntendents and employees in
hospitals, and wool, cotton and paper mill en-
ployees on Government works, oyerseers of
plantations. and one man to every five hundred
head of cattle. The exemption act passed
April 2lst is repealed.
The Examiner says congress has serious
business on its hands. The subject of reve-
nue. and finance is now before il. The bill
provides that every citizen shall give TO the
Government one-fith of his gross income, and
receive in acknowledgment eight per cent.
bonds. or all loans, the eight per cent. is the
worst OF all taxes. Twenty per cent. gross
income Is most oppressive. By this project,
Congress strikes heavier blow at our credit
than the public enemy. The Government has
committed financial blunders enough to ruin
IT'S credit If the confidence of the public were
not so well supported
Congress has postponded adjourned to the

FROM ARKANSAS.
Numbers and Encampments of the Enemy.
Removal of State Records.

HELENA, Ark, Oct. A.
A correspondent of the Missouri Republican
says:
we have late and very reliable intelligence
from the rebel forces in this State, which are
regarded by military men here as worthy of
confidence. 1t is as late as the 18th and I'D
ut, and seriously modifes many reports we
nave heard, some of which have reached the
country.
According to this information the rebel
forces in Arkansas number, and are encanped
as follows:
Gen. Hindman, at Austin, % miles north of
Little Rock, with 5000 men and one battery
Cen Roam at White Sulphur Strings, near Pine
Blufis, on the Arkansas river, 30 miles south
east OF Little Rock, with 5000 men, two regi-
ments of whom are conscripts, one unarmed |;
also Texan regiment, and one battery con-
sisting OF three 6-pounders, new, one l2-pound-
er, brass, and one seige piece mounted. Gen.
McRea is on the Arkansas river, 80 miles
northwest of Napoleon. Gen Rains is at
Cross Hollow, with reported force of from
1000 to 5000 men, mostly conscripts Gen.
Holmes, Commander-in-Chie of all the forces,
IS at Little Rock, with about 1000 men and two
batteries of and 3pounders, and two rifed
6-pounders and 2-pounder howitzers. Gen.
Mcbride is at Batesyille, with about 2000 men,
only 1900 of whom are effective.
Most of their cavalry force is dismounted,
and at present it is not believed they have
more than 2300 cavalry in the State.
At Arkadelphia, so or 100 miles southwest
of Little Rock, the rebels manufacture NUM-
tons of war, and have removed there all the
State records and papers.
Though the rebel generals boast of their in
tention to invade Missouri, it is not believed
by intelligent men in their camps that they
intend TO do so. IL they save the capitol OF
their State, it is all they desire at present, and
perhaps more than they expect.
