Gov. Yates to President Lincoln.

SPRINGFIEID, July n.-G0v. Yates has ad-
dressed the following urgent letter to the
President Of the United States
ExECuTTvE DEPARTMENr,
Springfield, Ill, July IL. i
President LiseOln Washington D. C.: The
crisis of the war and of our national existence
is upon US. The time has come for the adop-
tion of more decisive measures. Greater ami
mus and earnestRess must be infused into our
military movements. Blows must be struck
at the vital parts of the rebellion.
Ths government should employ all availa-
bic means compatible with the rules of war
fare to subjagate the traitors. Summon to the
standard of the Republic all men willing to
fight for the Union. Let loyalty, and that
alone, be the dividing line between the nation
and its foes. Generals should not be permitted
70 fritter away the services OF our brave men
in guarding the property of traitors, and in
driving back into their hands loyal blacks,
who offer US their labor and who seek shelter
beneath the Federal flag
Shall we sit supinely by and see the war
sweep on the youth and strength of the land,
and refuse aid from that cI SIS of men who are
at least worthy foes of traitors and the muir
derers of our Government and of oar chill
dren 2
Our armies should be directed to forage and
quarter on the enemy and TO cease paying
LHltOES anu Lu6lF dUetbOFS 6AnOrDltaQt exaC-
tons for food needed by the sick or hungry
soldier
Mild and conciliatory means have been tried
in vain to recall the rebels to their allegiance.
The conciliatocy policy has utterly failed to
reduce them TO obedience and restore the SUI
premacy of the laws. They have by means
of sweeping conseriptions, gathered in count
less hordes, and threaten to beat back and
overwhelm the armis of the Union. With
blood and treason in their hearts, they haunt
the black flag of rebellion in the face of the
| Government, and thu eaten to butcher our
brave and loyal armies with foreign bayonets.
| They arm negroes and merciless savages in
| their behalf.
| Mr.. Lincoln, the crisis demands greater
| efforts and sterner measures. Proclaim anew
| the good old motto Of the republic, Liberty
and Union, now and forever, one and insepa-
| rable," and accept the services of all loyal
men, and it will be in your pc yer to stamp
armies out of the charlottesville armies,
| that will bear our banners to certain victory |
Illinois, already alive with the beat of the
! dru9l, and Iesounding with the tread of new
recruits, will respond to your call. ADOPT this
policy, and she will leap like flaming giant
into the fght. This policy fer the conduct Of
| the war viii render foreign intervention i'm
| possible, and the arms of the republic invinci-
/ bic. 1t will bring the conflict to speedy
close, and secure peace on permanent basis.
RICHARD YATES,
Governor of Illinois

GOV. JonNsoN.

ANDREW JOHNSON, the Roman-like advO-
cate of the loyalty Of Tennessee which he
reads in his own brave heart, is expected in
Memphis Welcome will he be to Us, not only
as personal friend, but as q political leader,
whose loyalty has shown forth with sunlike
brightness undimmed By the slightest shadow
Of suspicion. The governor in coming to
Memphis, comes TO city in which many fear
him, and thousands love him. To him, as one
sprung from themselves, the working men
look with faith and confidence he has well
earned. To him the martyred Union man
who has suffered in his unswerying consistency
looks for {" we'll done thou good and faithful ]
servant" which he is sure to receive. With
working man and martyr, we say WELDON

THE CANAL.

The rspidity of communication and trans
portation is the soul of modern commerce, the
eacourager Of mercantile, and through that of
manufacturing enterprise. The trnsforma-
ton of Vicksburg into an inland town by
shortening in however small degree the river
distance to New Orleans, viii in few years
confer greater benefits on the Mississippi val
ley than could the existence of twenty yegeta-
ting towns upon its banks. Every mile less
ened in the water line between Cairo and New
Orleans, is blessing at compound interest to
the people of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and
Tennessee, and more especially to Memphis.
The completion of the canal is near at hand,
and those best qualified to Judge, feel conf
dent Of its success. The strong current that
is rounded by the arching bank needs but the
slightest aid to force its way in direct line,
and the canal viii more than yield that aid.
Vickshcrg may be, doubtless will be ruined
forever by it. but the Mississippi valley win
be benefited in degree beyond computa-
tion.- sg~~s

A SPECIAL to the New York Times says:
1t was rumored to-day that Gen. Halleck
was with the President at Fortress Monroe
It does not seem to be reliable, but the report
gains belief that Halleck is to be the neg
Secretary of War, for which position many
regard him as the ittest man in the nation"

THE Presidents account of the condition of
McClellan's army is Of a most gratifying ma
ture. He informed the members of the Sem
ates Military Committee that our total loss
would not exceed $4,000, while our army was

grand moonlight review, the enthusiasm of
the troops for the President was very great.

states that his command had arrived at that

Gen. Couch had horse twice shot under him,
and ms coat was torn by bali.
Gov. GAMBLE has already again fallen
asleep. 1t is for this reasCu that he did not
hear at all the call of the President for BOG, 900
additional troops, and that he has not called
yet on the people of Missouri. It seems, that
he Is still considering himself an exceptional
being who has nothing in common with the
Governor of any other State-a kind of indie
pendent khan or carrique of all the bushwhack-
ers in Missouri's woods. It must be confessed,
Mr.. Gamble does understand the part Of
amasterly inactivity" fundamentally.
