PENALTY FOR PASSING COUNTERFEIT Cow
FEDERATE NoTEs.-The Penalty for passing
counterfeit Confederate notes is death. An
act of the last session of the Provisional Con,
gress provides this punishment for this crime
during the existence sfthe present war between
the Confederate and the United States, and
until within one year after the ratification Of a
peace. The same penalty applies in the case
Of altering or passing any altered Treasury
note Of the Confederate States.

Vicksburg Intelligence.

The Vicksburg Wing, of the Goth ult, SAYS
the Internal Federals have lett for parts un-
known. The lower fleet departed on Thursday,
and the upper one on Friday, both satisfied of
the impossibility of taking the mississippi
snag,' as they have termed Vicksburg. Be
fore leaving, the upper fleet dismantled the gum
boat which the Arkansas sunk aud then set
fire to her. A flat boat containing some coal
and which grounded near the mouth of Yazoo
River, was also consigned to the flames by the
enemy. The fleet above Vicksburg numbered
thirty three boats besides coal ami ice barrcs.
The Yankees burned over five hundred of their
mon during their stay and so great was the
sickness among them that out of one entire br-
gade only three hundred men could be muster
cd for duty. The casualties in the city from
thcs hclls amount to the killing of one lady
and one negro man. Among the soldiers at
the batteries and on guard, the killing will
amount to some fifteen or twenty and a few
wounded.
The Wing is boastful over the achievements
at Vicksburg, but'the people of the Confcde-
racy, and especially of Mississippi, will not
think it too much so.

Important from Missouri.

GRENADA, Miss, August 9.--The st. Louis
(Mo9 Republican, Of August 4th has been re-
ceivcd here. 1t says that the rebel guerillas
have taken complete possession of Missouri
and arc daily growing into vast army. Nearly
$4,000 of them have crossed the Missouri River,
under Porter and Joe Thompson, cleaning the
Home Guards and Militia out as they progress.
They are raising number of recruits for the
Confederate army. Six hundred men have
turned up at Birds Point, threatening Cairo.
where there is but a small garrison Governor
Gamble (bogus Governor) finds it impossible,
under the circumstances, to get the militia to
respond to his call, and has issued another in-
portant appeal to them TO rally, complaining Of
their apathy in the Federal cause

CHATTANOOGA, August s.-Cavalry skirmisL-

SCOTS Cavalry made dash on 400 Federas
near Sparta, Tenn, and pursued them until
they came to superior force; they then re-
treated, leaving the Yankees in possession of
Sparta.
Federal deserters are constantly coming in,

allied, and say that they will not fight in con-
junction with the negros

of the particulars of the battle of Tazewell has
yet been received. 1t is ascertaincd, however,
that the enemy occupied strong position on

From Richmond.

RIcHmoND, August s.-The Federals have
quit Malvern Hill. Their movement in that
direction was only fcint and reconnaissance
to cover the transfer Of their troops across the
river. The enemy have also fallen back en- the
South side of the river, and are now entrench-
ing at Coggin's Point and below. Three mem.
bers of Cobb's Legion were tabeu prisoners at
Malvern Hill: Stovall and Dcaring of Augusta,

GRENADA, Miss, August 9.-The Memphis
Bulletin, of the 18th inst, says that the Confed-
crates have inaugurated guerilla warfare in Ar
kansas on an extensive scale, and mentions
several brilliant exploits of our men, On Sun
day they attacked two Yankee regiments, dis
persing them completely, and capturing sixty
wagons of provisions and over three hundred
stolen negros twenty-scvcn of whom escaped.
The same, day they bagaed another party near
Jacksonport, killing seventeen Yankees, and
capturing twenty wagons of provisions Nine
ty more of the enemy were attacked near Hell
lena, and nearly annihllated, only two cscap-
ing. The Memphis correspondent of the Chi
cago Times says that Curtis refused to obey
Grants order to go to Vicksburg, unless he was
ordered to do so from Washington direct
Curtis says that four weeks campaign before
Vicksburg would reduce his army by one half,
as it did Com. Davis fleet and that before the
summer was over he would not have man
left The Governor of New York has officially
announced his determination to draft. A
serious rebellion is reported among the Nor
mons, which, it is feared, will result in war
with the Federal Government.
An attack on Pope or Mcclellan is momen-
tarily expected from Stonewall Jackson. Nc
Clellan has issued orders to be ready at q
moments notice. Popes army advanced from
Warrenton on the 1st inst. The Federal Gov
ernment demands an explanation from France
regarding the presence of formidable French
fleet in American waters. New York will draft
after the 18th inst, and Ohio after the 18th
nst, if the quota of troops is not raised before
that time. An immense war meeting was held
at Milwaukee, Wis, on the 3Oth ofJuly Fifty
thousand persons were in attendance. The
railroads in the State passed all persons free
for the occasion. All business in the place
was suspended. Resolutions were passed re-
commencing the drafting of million of men!
Numbers Of men are leaving St. Louis for the
Southern army, to avoid the Northern draft,
Arrests have been made there on the charge
of disloyalty.
Back of Cape Girardeau, Mo-, the Confe9e-
rates have Wisconsin regiment surrounded
There was fighting at Bloomfield Mo,-con-
tinueing for three days. An additional force
has been sent from Cairo, ILL.,, to the assistance
of the Yankees.
Memphis dispatches of July 80, state that
Gen. Bragg has force of $4,000 men, and
that Memphis is threatened. 1t is expected
that distractions to navigation will be estab-
lished in the Mississippi river, above Memphis.
A Federal gunboat fleet will patrol to keep
the river open.

The MoNrToRe-It 10 not generally known
that this vessel, Notwithstanding her light
draught Of water, enormous strength and
weight Of deck, side armor and revolving turret,
carries upwards of one hundred thousand
pounds Of ballast to bring her down to her
present fighting draught. The Importance OF
this excess of buoyancy will be readily apprect
ated The weight of the turret is upwards OF
one hundred tons, and the guu-slides, composed
of strong wrought iron beams, form part of the
massive turret. The recol of the guns will ac-
cordingly be checked by such an enormous
amount of matter that ordnance of any cslibre
NAV be employed The Monitor, therefore,
instead of being of limited capacity, Is capable
of carrying guns of the largest size that we can
manufacture. These facts prove conclusively
that we have as yet no idea of the real dcstruc.
tive power of the new engine Of war, the sudden
appearance of which has startled this country.
and will startle Europe still more. Suppose

Department is now erecting furnaces II

plants are being made at Washington and else
where of the neglect Of proper sanitary regu-
lations in the military camps. II Is notorious
that thousands Of putrid carcasses poison the
atmosphere In the neighborhood Of the federal
capital, and that no efforts are made TO abate
the nuisance. This is not the case on the Po-
tomac alone, but wherever our troops are or
have been encamped. Now such state of
things ought not to be suffered to exist There
il no occasion to add TO the losses in actual
warfare those of pestilence, and there is no
sooner way to foster the latter than by exposing
putrid animal matter to the sun. When the
carcasses of horses and other brates can be
turned to commercial advantage, II seems
strange that the military authorities should
hermit them to go TO waste. In Australia
millions of sheep and cattle used to be slaugh-
tered every year for the mere sake Of boiling
down. Hence the great export of tallow,
hides, horns, wool and bones from that coun-
try Surely there are great knackers and tallow
manufacturers who would purchase the car
casses alluded to-; but If not so disposed of,
there is no excuse for not burying them, there

ATTACKS OF THE TRIBUNE ON THE PRESIDENT
Yesterday the following appeared in the 7ri-
hume, under the caption of "The Proposed Re-
moval Of Gen. Mcclellan" and Immediately
under the Generalin-Chiefs spirited address to
the Army Of the Potomac, the intention being
TO neutralize its force and throw cold water
upon the enthusiasm it is calculated to ex-
cite:-
The resolution offered in the senate executive session
Friday requesting the President to General
Mcclellan from his command, and withdrawn by the
mover after a debate which showed unanimous pur.
pose pass u, will probably be renewed Monday
tuesday.
There was no such resolution offered in
executive session. II is base fabrication, de-
signed to wound the President through General
Mcclellan In another column the Tribune as
sails him for "the absence of warlike spirit and
military energy and capacity" and adopts the
malignant epithet of Wendell Phillips, who calls
him Quaker General" Again: the Tribune,
in commenting upon the General-in-Ch ad-
dress to his army, speaks Of it as an "apology
for the gigantic failure to capture the enemy
and end the war at Manassas" and adds that
"it is evident from this address that General
Mcclellan feels the weight Of that enormous
blow more deeply perhaps than any other man
in the country; but Notwithstanding that event
the President sees ft to retain him In
his command" Here Is evident censure
Of Mr.. Lincoln. From the beginning the
Tribune has never ceased to wound
the President ct every opportunity,
sometimes openly, with an astounding audacity,
and sometimes with a covert malice peculiar
to that journal. In all the recent assaults on
General Mcclellan In its columns IL has been
undoubtedly striking at the Chief Magistrate
through the trusted General of his choice The
tendency of such assaults is to weaken the conf
dence of the troops in their General, and thus
to contribute to the defeat of the army-a con-
summation deveutly wished for by Greeley and
the whole tribe of abolitionsts, for nothing
they fear so much as the speedy success of the
war, because twill restore the Union and take
away forever the occupation of the anti-slavery
agitators. 1t is no new thing for the Tribune
to wish the overthrow of our armies During
the Mexican war one Of its most pious and fer
vent calculations to Heaven was that the enemy
might "welcome our troops with bloody hands
TO hospitable graves" Such Is the spirit of its
attacks on the President and General Mcclellan
during the present was ~

SOMETHING MORE OF THE ELBOWS OF THE MN
in their sides, the extraordinary leading edi-
torial which appeared in the New York Times
one fine morning during the late Italian war
that article of dignity, gravity, learning and
whiskey, in which "the elbows of the Mincio,'
''the sympathies of youth" "the British Cabi
net, ian American squadron" and "the forti-
fications of Paris" were all incoherently jum-
bled together in the famous "Austrian quad
rlateral" Monsieur Tonson has come again y
On Sunday last the "LittIe Villains" of the
Times, evidently from the same hand, and un-
der the same inspiration, gave us a romantic
editorial chapter on "The Mouth of the Poto-
mac.' far surprising in its contempt of geo.
graphical facts 'the elbows Of the Mincio."
The romantic editorial article in question,
entitled "The- Romance of War;" is a soph0mo-
ric description Of the late wonderful seq
fight between that rebel marine monster,
the Merrimsc, and that little Union
"cheese box on Q raft" the Monitor; and thus
the scene of this contest is located by the learn
ed Mincio geographer OF the New York Times.
Hear him.
The telegraph, H must be remembered, put New York
almost in the position OF spectator The scene is bis
toric-he beautiful outlet OF the Potomac where the
earliest English colonss sailed To discover
In the Western wds and close to tho river by which the
foundation Of Virginia laid. Fortress Monroe with
it's flock Of shipping sds just beyond the ruins Of
the once beautiful Hampton; still further the white
OF Newperts News and the bulls and spars Of the
ill-fated frigates at anchor.
Think of that-"the beautiful outlet of the
Potomac" with Fortress Monroe" &C., on one
side But our quadrilateral contemporary will
have II so; for again, towards the close Of his
touching discourse-ss If to rub it in-he says:
"Such to cur children and TO posterity will be
the romance Of this most dramatic battle at the
mouth of the Potomac" "The mouth of the
Potomac" Look again, Master Quadrilateral,
and you will see that the "mouth of the Poto-
mac" Is pretty well on to hundred miles north
of Fortress Monroe, and that the scene of "this
most dramatic battle at the mouth of the Poto-
mac was in fact at the mouth OF James river.
We insist upon it that posterity in this matter
shall not be entangled among the 'elbows Of
the Mincio."
