Last Saturday morning Picsyune Butler vis-
itsd the city Of Baton Rouge, on board the steam

val, arresting the citizens of that place. Hon.
3. f. Bryan, the mayor Of the city, was called
before him, and required % take the oath OF a.

that be would put down the guerrilla system Of
warfare-that he could do It in fifteen minutes,
and this is the manner in which he propose 70

thousand dollars to any negro who viii bring
me the head Of q guerrilla. It Is true mistakes
will happen, but what Of that Mistakes Of
that sort win occur. As, for instance, my men
have wrOngfully destroyed the property Of one
man, George Kellers,) but 1 mean to pay for
that. AS for Capt. Budd's property, he was an
officer in the Confederate army, and LEFT his prop
erty where the guerrillss could get hold Of 1t,
and for that reason his men were Justin2Dle Ia
destroying it."
He stated that the only chance for the Con

Topography of ,hs sea. of War Near

Topography of the Seat Of War Nenr
Richmond,
The Richmond HHig of the 25th has the fol-
lowing description of the seat Of way In that Vi
ciuity:
The seat of war near Richmond is embraced
within the eastern portions of Hanover and Hen
rico counties, and the western boundaries of
New Kent and Charles City counties, but prin-
cipally within the confndes Of HenTico. The
cOnhguration OF the latter county, somewhat re-
sembles an irregular :, with a decided inclina-
ton toward the left James river IS the south
eTn boundary; the Chckahominy swamp the
northern and eastern boundary. II our compari-
son Of the shape of the country be accepted, we
shall be understood in locating Richmond in the
under recess of the q. The Mechanicsville
turnpike describes the dissection, and extends in
a direct northeast line from the city. Tho vii
lsge of Mechaoicsvic is in Hanover county
about one mile north Of the Chiclahominy and
six from Richmond.
The Brook turnpike commences on the north
western suburbs, and runs almost due north,
and nearly parallel with the Chiekabominy,
crossing that creek or swamp at the northwest
ern round of the county. The Fredericksburg
railroad IS south of the Brooke pike. The Cen
tTal railroad between il and the MechRniGsvilie
pike The Meadow bridge road is q short dis
lance west o. the Central railroad, and crosses
the swamp near the railroad trestle work.
The York liver railroad extends in almost 2
direct easterly line. The New bridge road is
north Of the railroad and the Williamsburg
stage road (leading to Bottom bridge) south o
| il. The Niue Mile road extends from the VIII
liamsburg road to the New bridge road. The
/ Charles City road is south OF the Williamsburg
! road, diverging toward James river.
To quiet the fears of those who may suppos
we are conveying information to the enemy,
! is proper to state that the above Typographical
! outlines Of Henrico, is derived from maps re-
Gently published in Yankee papers.

Aud set immortal echoes stirring there
For in the summer her unbreatbed love
Fortune has euwrapt her favorits child,
Glory is on his brow vengeance is his
Dread retribution glcoming up, within
His pure hesrt, stepping his brain with frenzy.
His path is Vict0rv-Liberty his ateed,
Bright golden clouds Of fame rise on dis way,
As onwRrd-on he rushes TO the deid
Talntng his falchion with The bastard foe
Frghtnng the coward blood back from their cheeks
with one dread stab lets ont their captive souls
The world shall bold hin as its purest gem,
As doth old Ocean keep within his breast
The virgin pearl.

For. like a meteor through the sulen night

New Work Dry Good. 1Issket.

From the Tribune Of Tuesday,
In reviewing the domestic goods market for
the week, we have to report an active deman0
for all descriptions, and general disposition in
all holders to withdraw their goods. The recent
advance in cotton Of nearly five cents per pound,
during tbe week, with the prospect of a still
further advance, has startled the manuiacturarg.
and the conviction is general that 81 the spindles
must eventually remain idle for the want Of the
raw material. In such an event, goods must
appreciate from the impossibiitY OF supply
Even now it is entirely impossible 20 invest
largely in domestic eottOns, and the prices are as
fuctuating as the most fancy stocks IN Wall
street.
Large operators have been in the market to-
day taking sll lots offered, but the amount Of
sales have been limited, from The fact that ths
goods could not be found With less than 5000
bales Of cotton in this market, and only $1,000
bales Of American cotton in LiveTpOOl-being
less than weeks SUPPLY of the world when
the spindles are IN OperatOn-It IS time 70 pause,
and consider the results that must follow before
the year closes. There are some goods which
are being manufactured from high priced cot
ton, which afford remuneration at present prices.
while the great majority of mills cannot work
without loss. The former viii continue to pur-
chase cotton to such an extent as 20 make L IN
possible to keep the market for the raw material
a. the present. prices. This period OF the year
| has, hitherto, been characterized with general
cessation of trade, but it appears that the ma
iority of merchants are doing a satisfactory
business, and the conditiOL Of the country.
| North and Northwest, is such Gs to promise 8
continuance, If not an increase Of the volume.
Heavy sheetings have been sold at to 2c-
advance on last week, and if holders should
offer to deliver considerable quantities, larger
advance would be submitted TO- Drills also
have advanced. Over one thousand bales nave
been taken within a week for government pur-
noses at full prices. Denims, stripes, ticks and
bleached goods have all appreciated IN value,
and are hard to buy. WOOlens remain the same
as last week, but the movement noticed last
week il maintained without abatement

The TreubIe with she Generals.
Washington Cor of the 81 Louis EeppblicGu.I

he Trouble with the Generals
Washington Cor. Of the ST. Louis Republican,
GEN. PoPE's APPOINTMENT.
The changes, which were contemplated some
time before the Presidents late flying visit to
Gen Scott have followed so closely upon his
return that no doubt can exist that bis object
was only to consult the old veteran IN regard
thereto; and, though they have not been so ex-
tensive or important IS sensstonists anticipated,
they are sufficient TO excite an unusual interest
even in these startling times. Stanton still rules
supreme in the War Department. and Gen.
Scott remains in the voluntary retirement which
his advanced age demands, and past service de-
serves but three major generals OF high Tenown
have been taken down a peg or two, all at the
same pop, and Of course 1t creates sensation.
The unfortunate Pathfinder could not stand
his second disgrace, and requested to be relieved
Of his command The prompt and decisive
manner IN which the President took him at his
word, and quietly laid him On the shelf, meets
with hearty appreciation from the public, and is
regarded es another JaeksOnian feather in the
cap Of Old Abe. All that FremOnts friends
say abOu. the affair is that their hero showed
his plUck-that he might be poor commander,
but he did not think 50 himself, and would not
allow the President TO treat him as such. tie
is yet q major general, and, though relieved OF
his command IN Virginia, might be consistently
ordered 70 active duty IN some other sphere bul
the impression IS that two doses Of his mislnan
segment is enough at present, and that he will
be allowed TO rep0se upon whatever laurels he
or his friends may think he he's won.
1t is rumored that both Banks and Mcdowell
are about to follow suit to Fremont, it being uu-
derstOod that the latter entered first proceedings
according to mutual understanding; but this i
q canar3, as it is well known by some the Mar
of the Mountains acted entirely on his Owl
hook, and showed his independence by remark
] z that he didn't care what Banks or Nc
,owell did-as for himself, he wouldn't stanC
s' There was no understanding betweeI
them, after Fremont's experience il endavOrin@
to browbeat Old Abe, ' It is not likely Bank
VIII try the same game with the same results
staring him the face. As for Mcdowell, there i
no telling what he may be driven into by hi
unenviabie situation.

TERRIBLE WAR NlssIyE-The latest war in
vention is a submarine gun, intended to be fixed
in the Prov of ram, al any depth under water,
from one to twenty feet. The New York EOsn-
ing Post, noticing recent experiment, says:
A small boat, ten feet in length, of capacity
to carry two or three men, was provided with a
pun which projected from the bow about two feet
below the surface. By means Of spring twas
discharged by conclusion with the target, row
inc al a very moderate speed. 1he target was
composed OF two inch plaIiks, with space be-
tween, representing the usual thickness OF 3
vessels side. The ball perforated bo,h, and
went through the side of an old barge, against
which it was hung. llr Duty, the inventor,
claims that the Parrot gun, or any other OF the
largest bore, can be discharged ia the same man
ner. The muzzle projects through packing, and
when it is drawn in 10 reload, valve falls to
prevent lhe admission Of water. The gun was
! fred twice with such succe5s as to warrant the
1 opinion that it may become a very successful
weapon. The chjeeE in submerging it is TO at

AIarued and CrnnIbIing,

The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial snuffs danger ahead. In a
late letter he says
Tbers IS ground for alarm about matters in
the Valley of Virginia. There is ground for the
alarm about the safety of Washington-ground
for the apprehsnsions concerning our army be-
fore Richmond.
There is reason for alarm any where, when, at
this stage in the game, our armies are standing
still We have reached q point where we can
not afford to assume the defensive We must
be offensive or nothing.
We have invaded an enemy's country, have
pushed forward to his capital, and have planted
our batteries before it. Ia spite of our scientihc
delays, we have taken the enemy at disadVsn-
taee. We have outnumbered him from the be-
ginning, and, though our slow approaches gave
him time to gather his reinforcements, we out
number him still.
Under such circumstances there can be nc
question, either as to our policy or his. Ours is
speedy concentration and dash. Ills Is to- Gre
ate divisions that will delay our attack and en-
able him to mature his preparations.
Burnside and Mcdowell, one south, the Other
north of Richmond, both belonged properly tc
the invading army. Handled as the three forces
could have been, who can fail to see that Rlch
mond might have been ours to-day But every
vantage of time for his defenses, if not tor th'
transfer of troops from the West. And of delay
they have had abundance, while our concentrs
tions went on as slowly as if we were aiming t
accommodate them rather than ourselves. 1t L
needless just now to inquire whose fault 1t IS
McClellan's, or StantOn's, or the Presidents
| that we have been so blind to our manltes
policy; It is enough that we have been, an
| that instead of economizlng our Strength an
bnrlinr ourselves upon the unprepsred defend
ers of Richmond, we have missed the gOldei
