face. and running into his eyes, almost
binding him. The Union man became
desperate, for he saw the secessionist w IS
not hurt. He made a feint; the rebel
leaned forward to arrest the blow, but en-
pioyi. .g too much energy, he could not re-
cover himself ut once. The Missourian
perceived his advantage, and knew he

GOV, YATESs SPEECH.


Gov. Yates speech, published in our is-
sue Of yesterday, has the true ring. It re-
fleets the Tar spirit Of the Northwest to a
hairs breadth Fight, eopfscate and eman-
cipate arc now the three articles Of eveT
patriots creed, and they have rarely been
enforced with more effect than by GOV.
Yates On this occasion. Fight all the time,
make the rebels pay the cost, and leave free
dom In the rear Of our armies-this is what
the people want and what they are deter
mined to have.
The Chicago Times throws of its thin
mask Of loyalty in denouncing Gov. Yates
speech, and endorsing in tie same breath
the reasonable utterances OF Wicklife and
Garlic at the tory Convention Of Indiana.
We are re5oiced that henceforth there are
to be no false pretenses, The Unionism Of
the Chicago Times is confessedly that
OF the hoary-headed villain who has
brought Kentucky to the verge Of armed
rebellion against the United States, and of
that other who does not even pretend to
represent the loyalists Of Western Virginia,
who voted against their admission into the
Inion, and who votes and speaks On all
occasions in the interest Of the guerillas
who are numbering and plundering loyal
citizens, and straining every nerve to carry
their section over to JEFF. Davis A heavy
hand will drop down on some Of these
characters # they are not more careful in
their ways

FROM GEN. POPEsE ARMY.
The Descent on Beaver Dam--Eener-
al Pope,s Poltcy--The Seccsatonlste

[Ftom the N. z. Evening Post, 81
A letter from Warrenton, Va, received in
this city yesterday, gives some interesting
facts concerning the recent descent on Beaver
Dam by part OF General Hatch'6 command.
and the operations OF our soldiers there and
elsewhere. The letter says:
1--WE have been within thirty-six miles Of
Richmond, aud saw but few rebels until We
reached place called Beaver Dam, where we
ard q battalion Of Infantry. It is an almost
unaccouutahle fact that though We we're with
in pistol sho: Of the rebels ali the time Of the
fight, we did not have man killed, or even
wounded, up to the time they fled.
eve buried all that We fouud-the rebel
stores and 8 woodward; the telegraph Office,
the postotIlce, the comnissasy depot, the
OF -four and beef, besides tents and other
valuable property that we could not take with
Us.
"It ia var in earnest now with Us, aluce
Pope took command. The rebels do not like
him as well as they did Gen. Mcdowell, who
previously commanded this part Of the army
on account Of his severity. The order is now
to take what is wanted for the use Of the
army, and what We do not want to burn up.
It is the best order that has yet been given to
the army, as it will let the rebels VINO con-
tinue to be such know that NE mean to treat
them as If they were in the field fighting
against de-
We can see the good effects of the order
already. In the rebel towns in the valley Of
Virginia, great many more Of them ara tax
| ing the oath Of allegiance to the Union than
| formerly, because il they don't they will get
no ray Tor what re take from them. General
Pope will soon lave his a1my all ready to
make start, and he Will not stop when 11is
work is half done"

Bandit Work by the GuerIllas.

[From the St. Louis Union, 1st1
A gentleman who has spent some weeks in
northeast Missouri, who WAS in Scotland couu-
ty at the time Of Porter's raid on Memphis,
and who Is fully conversant with the state OF
things in that section, gives US painful de-
piction Of the situation Of affairs. From
Scotland county about three hundred and fifty
OF the loyal, able bodied men have gone with
the federal armies to Tennessee aud Mississlp-
pi. There is among the population of the
county large disloyal element, in which, as
uaual, the influence Of the women is more ac-
tive and efficient than that Of the men. The
Union people Of that section are harassed by
the deyilish gueril1as, who are Watchful Of op-
portunities, and informed Of whatever takes
place in the way OF defense. -
The murder Of DR.. ". ". AylWard, OF Mem
pbis, Was as foul piece Of ASSASSINATION as
ever was committed BY Mexican bandits.
He was prisoner In the hands Of Porters
band, at q dwelling or farm house about seven
miles west Of Memphis, which Is in the
county seat Of Scotland county. He was in
gueril]as. At midnight or later, squad en-
tered the house, required him to get up and
dress, on the pretence that Porter #anted to
see him at his camp near by. He was hurried
In dressing, with oaths and curses. His
hands we're pinioned behind him. La passing
with him, but one Of the party held pistol to
his head and forbade him to stir. Outside the
door rhe victim was heard circulating prayers
for minute, but his words ceased ia guTgle
or straDgulat1on. Next morning his body vas
found in wheat field short distance of,
| where it had been thrown, with the marks Of
the rope about the neck, which, however was
not broken. Traces On tree indicated that
| he had been suspended there, but there is un-
certainty whether his life was taken at the
door Of the house, when he was
| led out. or By strangulation in hang
! 1ng. His pockets were rifled.
Our informant states that there was gen.
eral pil1age in the town Of Memphis Of what,
ever the bandittI wanted, MONEY, clothing,
arms, &c. Some Of the citizens were kept
prisoners for few hours in the court house
The clerk was obliged to give up the posses
sion Of his office, aud all the indictments on
file for horse stealing and similar crimes, o
which there were some ten or dozen, were
torn up in his presence. These and many
other particulars Of kindred nature, are mar
rated 10 US by gentleman Of the highest re-
| spectability, himself personally cognizant o
the facts by presence on the spot. The nnm
ber Of Porter's band that entered Memphis
was, by careful count, one hundred and sixty
nfre- Dr.. AylWard was man Of intelligence
and lity-obnoxious- to the gueril
Las on account alone Of his active and deter
mined loyalty.
