reA- A bill was recently introduced in the
Yankee Congress authorizing Lincoln to
cause an cath to be administered to every
adult citizen within the Confederate States,
to the effect that he adjures all allegiance to
any Government, foreign or domestic, in
hostility to the United States, and will not,
by word or deed, aid and abet it; but will
bear true allegiance to the United States,
and will give it information of any danger
which threatens it, and when required assist
in repelling any assault upon it. This oath
may be administered by any commander OF
a post or detachment, and any Collector or
Marshal. A refusal to take it exposes the
person refusing to the penalty of a fine not
less than 1000, or to Imprisonment not less
than six months. We have no doubt but
that this bill will be passed, but we opine

From Above.

Nothing definite or reliable can be heard
Of the whereabouts of the fleet coming down.
Some of our boats have been recoanoi:er-
ing above the mouth of the Yazoo, and their
smoke being distinctly visible from this
place, has given the impression to many
that the enemy'S gunboat feet was coming
in sight. This morning the report is to the
effect that FIVE of the boats are at MiiIikeu. 5
Rard W r~ouIuTI NO." t'as s-iN-S
rrmors are all premature.
From the Wing of the same date, we clip
the following additional intelligence;
One of the Federal gunboats came up
and shelled the lower batteries for some time
on Saturday afternoon, but did no damage.
Some half-dozen shots were fred by US.
Two gunboats and transport started
down the river from the fleet yesterday after
noon. Their destination is unknown.
Our light artillery attacked the enemy 5
gunboats at Ellis Cliffs, the other day, but
the enemy opened upon them with their
heavy guns, compelling our men to fall back.
All of Commodore Farragut's feet have
arrived and are now anchored in sight of
the city below the bar. They were lying so
close together yestel day that it was impos-
sible to count them. Those who had extra
ordinary good "peepers" say they counted
twenty-five. : cram" could play sad haT-
oc among them.
Gen. Earl Van Dorm arrived here on Sun
day, and, we learn, immediately took COM
mand of our defenses. The name of Gen.
Van Dorm is well known to our people. lie
is native of Mississippi, and is one of our
few thorough -hend-ative chieftains
that seeks the enemy wherever he can fine
him, fights him when ready, and retreats out
of the way when not prepared. His policy
is both offensive and defensive, and ne al
ways uses the one which may be demanded
by the exigencies of the situation. Our PEG
pie and our soldiers have perfect confidence
in him and with our defenses in his hands
all feel satisfied The only regret is, tina
he did not come sooner.

Line OF Battle.

. You often read about cline of battle, I"
and, we dare say, think that the two ar
mics stand in two lines; but it is not so.
The army is divided into divisions, and
there are often great gaps between the
divisions. They are posted in positions
or in commanding places-that is, on
hills, or in woods, or on the banks of
streams, inplaces where they will be best
able TO resist or attack the enemy. The
divisions are usually so placed that they
can support one another You can un-
derstand a line of battle pretty well, by
imagining n regiment here on u hill,
another down in a valley, third in a
piece of woods, with artillery md cavalry
placed in the best positions. If youwant
to make it more real, when you are out
in the fields or pastures, with the hills all
around, just imagine that the enemy is
over on yonder hill; with ten thousand
men and twenty pieces of artillery. You
are general and have an equal number.
The enemy will come down that road,
spread out into the field, or creep up into
the woods and attack you.
You can't exactly tell how many men
he will send on the right, or how many
on the centre, or how many on the left,
SO you must arrange your forces to SUP.
port each other. Then, to shift it, YOU
are to attack him. You don't know how
his troops are arranged, for he keeps
them concealed as well as he can. You
don't want many of your men killed, but
do want to win a victory. Now there is
a chance for you to try your skill in plan
ming line Of battle. You must place
your artillery where it will do the mos
damage, and receive the least from the
enemy. You must move yOurinfantry 81
that they will not be cut off by the enc
my before they got near enough to Gu
them up in return. You see that it is nj
small thing to be General These ar
lsgreat responsibilities.

The Armles or enc Rsnnhl,c.

That we are a fighting as well as work
ing and energetic people, the war record OF
the last year abundantly proves. Twenty
six important battles have been fought, in
all of which, except eight, that occurred
soon after the cOmmencemento of hosli!ities
che Federal arms were victorious. Our
losses previous to tue battle of Shiloh, or
Pittsburg Landing, were in killed, 2,49O,

their eyes some of the fruits Of the full.
developed system. But for the infatuatior
which strOve, with partial success, to iden,
tify Missouri with "the fifteen States of tht
South" as one of them, her fields would
not have been ravaged, and her thousands
of happy dwelling-places made desolate by
civil war, as they are at this hour.
Let the remark of one of our own influ-
ential Shareholders, himself the advocate Of
an emancipation policy, be pondered we'll
"NOt hostile gun has been fred on the
soil of the States which are exempt from
this blight" But the battles of South
Carolina and Georgia and Alabama and
Mississippi, have been fought upon the
soil of the border States, and almost
wholly at a distance from their own doors.
The slave empire which Davis, Stephens,
Toombs, Ben njamin and Yancey projected
and of which cotton was TO be king, en-
braced Missouri, and therefore they Rrrayed
their forces upon her fields. as-
Men cannot discuss the present war, in
any one of its aspects, part from its cause
The rebellion is the act of the corporate
slavery interest of the planting States
The question of slavery will be uppermost
in any attempt which may hereafter be
made for adjustment and pacifcAtion.
All good men desire to see peace restor-
ed to Missouri, aud that she should enter
upon the career of prosperity for which
nature has bestowed the elemental means.
No single step could contribute so greatly
to those results MS the inauguration OF
such policy as shall invite to our borders
the capital and enterprise of the free
States. From "the fifteen States" we can
expect neither of these, nor is there any
reasouwhy the destinies of Missouri should
be in any special manner identified with
those of the revolted States.
We repeat, the question of slavery is,
in fact, the very question of the hour,
which is in all mems mouths daily. For
the rebellion itself is slnvery's own revolt
against law, tranquility and government
1t is no subordinate or side Issue, and they
who pirate about "dividing Union men
upon this question:" only utter the Lam
guage of cant and insincerity.
In certain sense, it is true, that the
war has given the death blow to slavery in
Missouri. That species of property has
grently diminished in numbers. We do
not know the proportion, but very many
have been driUen out of the State in one di-
rection, and perhaps larger number has
run out Offit in another. Those which re-
main have deprecated at least three-fourths
in value. Slave property, too, is utterly
Insecure, and is constantly becoming more
so. The markets of the South furnish no
demand. The institution is now utterly di-
lapidated the alternative. is either to at
tempt to rebuild, or to remove the ruins as
soon as possible.
