The Spirit Of seventy-Six.

We have neglected to notice an act of
heroism in the family of Enos Circus, of Fall
river, which reminds US forcibly of the dark
days of the Revolution. Mr.. CIRCUITS family
consists of himself, wife and several daugh.
tiers. Last year, when the call was made
for troops, the two Oldest daughters offered
to fill the place of any two young men who
would volunteer, provided that the employ
ment was honorable. This scheme failed;
then they offered to 60 as nurses, but were
rejected on account of their age. After
thus failing, they offered, if their father,
whose head had already begun to silver over,
would go, to stay at home and take care of
the farm until he returned. In this they
were successful. He enlisted in the Eleventh,
and for nine months has labored for bis
country in that regiment. His wife and
daughters have done their duty, and no light
task has it been. Through the long and
cold winter they done their chores, foddered
ten or twelve head of cattle, MIXED five
COWS, &c. With such an example, who
shall say that our mothers and daughters
do not possess the spirit of our revolutionary
sires. In addition, such an example ought
to shame many of our young men, who are
longing around stores and saloons. into the
ranks.-C Columbus Wis., Banner.

Poor Pillow on Our New Policy

NEWARK, Ohio, Aug. 5.-The North
american of this city has an important let>
ter captured by the First Ohio cavalry,
written by Gen. Pillow to his brother in
Tennessee.
The General is alarmed about the new
policy, and says that we will 60 to catch
ing negroes in less than thirty days, and
will sweep the river bottom. He thinks
the only safety for our men is to carry them
to the interior, and wants his brother to hep
him get off his negroes before they are
caught-but the secret must be kept. He
thinks the South will receive its indie
pendence, but will lose one thousand mill
ion dollars worth of negroes. He has a
plantatiOn.in Arkansas and wants to get bis
negroes across the river into Mississippi,
but Curtis is in the way. He says that the
safety of our property depends upon imme.
date action, and wants bis brother to give
out that the negroes taken by the Federals
will be sold to Cubans, after the war is
over.

ing the prisoners through to this city, where
they arrived safely today. He was accom-.
panied by company B, Of the Texan Ran"
gers.
Among the forty.fve prisoners is found
General T. T. Crittenden, of Indiana, with
one Colonel, two Lieutenant Colonies, one
Major, eleven Captains and twenty-nine
Lieutenants. Colonel Forrest had pre-
viously about eleven hundred privates. Over
three hundred mules and horses, with some
fifty wagons, were captured. With these q
splendid lot of arms, some ammunition,
stores, &c. A large amount Of Quarter
master and Commissary stores was Destroy
ed. In brief, everything was brought away
or destroyed, thus making clean sweep. ~
was complete surprise to the enemy and q
perfect success for our cavalry. we hope
that many such may follow in quick success
sion, until Tennessee shall be delivered from
the power of the oppreseor, and be once
more free.

Important from Washington.
THE PRESIDENTS PEREMPTORY
DECISION.
Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON. Aug. s, 1862.
1t had been hoped that certain features Of
the interview with the President, today, on
the subject of arming the negroes, would
not be made public; but garbled state.
ment in a semi-secession New York paper
necessitates the publication of the facts. A
delegation of Western men, including two
United States Senators, made the offer of
certain negro regiments to the President, to
which offer, as stated last night, the PRESS
dent replied that he had decided not to arm
negroes. The matter then was freely dis
cussed with reference to Lanes project and
the general policy. The President was piled
with arguments against his decision, and
discussion gradually became more fully ex-
plained.-"Gentlemen, you have my decis.
ion. have made my mind up deliberately
and mean to adhere to it. It embodies my
best Judgment, and if the people are dlseat.
is6ed, will resign and let Mr.. Hamlin try
it," to which one of them replied, II hope
in Gods name, Mr.. President, you will"
The heat of the discussion seems to have
arisen from the feeling that the President
was drawing back from the ground his Wis.
iton thought he had given them reason to
believe he occupied.
Casey, the Kentucky Congressman who
voted for confscation, is here today renew.
ing his representations to the administra.
ton concerning the state of affairs in Ken
lucky. He says Union men are perfectly
assured of the rebel intention to make an
other foray on more extensive scale.
Twelve hundred cavalry are now in his
county. They declare now just as they did
this time last year, that they must have the
products of the country between the Green
and Cumberland rivers for the support Of
their army, and it is believed they are ma
turing their plans to carry out their threat,
relying on the same supineness of the Ma
tional forces that we exhibited last year.
Mr.. Casey and other Kentuckians are
asking that as fast as troops are raised in
volunteer regiments, and under the new
drafting calls, they shall be pushed down
into Kentucky, drilled, and there subsisted
off the property of Kentucky rebels. They
argue that this will be sufficient to avert all
danger in Kentucky, and at the same time
make rebellion in Kentucky improbable
and support our troops properly. They ask
also, that suitable able>bodied negroes be-
longing to rebels should be used at once for
camp service as transfers, etc., but not
armed.
The Presidents refusal to accept negro
troops excites surprise among parties inter.
ested in Gen. Jim Lanes plans. Lane
stated positively that the administration uns
derstood bis intentions abont enlisting ne
groes in Kansas, when they gave him his
powers for recruiting there. If that be
correct, be must have been treated in bad
faith. Lane will probably 60 on and dc
what recruiting he can in Kansas, and &C.
cept what negroes he can get as camp la
bOrers.

Southern News.
The following Southern news is from the

The following Southern news is from the
Grenada Appeal of the 3lst /: AHA.
MOBILE, July 3l.--A special dispatch to
the Advertiser and Register dated Tupelo,
July 3Oth, states that information has been
received at headquarters stating that Col.
Armstrong, commander of the cavalry of
the army Of the West, had taken CORTLAND,
41sb ~ sptSsg $50 p ssS EN- Ts
and eight wounded. The citizens of Court
land are frantic with joy. Reliable infor.
nation states that $4,000 federsls passed
through Tuscumbia last week, destined for
Chattanooga.
CHARLESTON, July 29th.-The British
steamer Tubal Cain, probably is captured
by the Federals. She is an iron screw
steamer of 500 tons burthen, with cargo
of general merchandise and q few cases of
arms.
CHATTANOOGA, July 20. - Morgans
whole command returned safely to Tennes-
see having taken 1000 prisoners.
Humphrey Marshall is marching upon
Northwestern Kentucky.
A Southern paper, in summing up the
work of the past year, says: About
twelve months ago the universal Yankee
nation, with Is, 900 men and a smart sprink.
ling of women, Hon. Mr.. Ely among the
number, set out on trip to Richmond.
After making fruitless attempt to reach
the confederate capital via Memphis, they
spent one year preparing to make the trip
by james River and York River Railroad.
The expenses of travelling through Virginia
have increased enormously since the under~
taking commenced. Two thousand millions
of dollars have been lavished on the enter.
prise, and they are no nearer Richmond
than when they set out. They have called
into the field 100000 men to DO the work,
and now are calling for 100000 more. If
nearly million men cannot conquer it in one
year, we should like to know how many men
it will require to subjugate and hold
it. Still we have no idea they will give
up. On the contrary, we expect them to
make more desperate efforts than ever.
They know now they ere bankrupt peo-
pie, hence the motive to carry on war is
ten thousand fold stronger than ever before.
Like the ruined gamester, they have moth
ing to lose; they have to gain something by
desperate gambling. AS to sacrifice OF hu-
man life they care nothing. War only re-
Iieves them from the burden of the pauper
population,
The Appeal gives the following account
of the capture OF Brownsville:
"We have just received information that
Major FaIkner with his command of Ken
lucky rangers have taken Brownsville,
Tennessee, arrested several cotton buyers,
secured some $4,000 IN money, thirty
horses, and destroyed all the cotton. He
has marched to burn cotton at Fulton and
Fort Pillow. Major Falkner is recruiting
fast. In report be says he will now march
on Columbus and Paducah, and probably
pay Egypt visit and return by Birds
Point and New Madrid. There is really
no knowing where they will turn up next.
They started on an order which had wide
margin, and, as the major said, he is deter
mined to make some history before he re-
