From Gen. 12lnnt's Command.
Correspondence Of the Leavenworth Conaerya-
tiYel

CABIN CREEK, FtFTT MILES NORTH or}
PoRr GnsoN, July 10, 1868.
Arrived here abuut noon to-day. We ex-
pscted to meet the rebels, as we saw troops
le,e. They proved to be the escort Of a
Union train returning from Fort Gibson to
Fort Scott. When the old man (Blunt) heard
OF IN enemy being in the brush, he seemed to
te new 1ran. H looked to me like q man
Nho had bet his last card and won. Hc was
all alive, active, enthusiastic and ready for the
work: really believe Blunt with ten men
would fight u thousand rebels before lie would
ret:eat.
a week ago the troops guarding train
f.om Fort Scott had tight with Gen. Cooper
eud Col, Stand Waite. Tie rebels numbered
! Geo men-2o0 Texans and 500 1ndians. As
fur as can learn, the fighting was between
Capt. stcWart's COMPANY, 9th Kansas, the
Colorado Sd, and Sd Wisconsin, On our side,
and the Texans Oh the other. Stewards com.
lany routed the Texans in q f:li. ch1rge, losing
tne Killed Apd fifteen wounded.
The loyal Indians, commanded by Colonel
Foreman (who, all eay, acted bravely) werc
otdefed By him to cross the river. 1mmedi-
stely the Indians OIL both sides disappeared
IN the brush. Not one Of them WAS Killed CT
wounded, and not one WIS seen agoin On the
GROUND. This tkirnish settles the fact, if it
needed coni1 lGatiCn, that Indians won't stand
II y fnfr stand-up fight,
!. All reports from the lower conntry are TO
the effect that We have to rely mainly upon
the colorcd soldiers. An Irish Democrat, m
:. "tficer tn the Sd Wisconsin cavalry, told ne:
:" never believed IL niEgers before, but By
Imus, they are hell for Hghting."
zen: Blunt means to beat Gricrson, XII
T;str1ck, and Pleasanton, In tic raiding busi-
less, ard It is not impossible that We shall
reach The Gulf OF Mexico. His hatred Of rebels
can be hkcned to the terrible animosity Of
Hay nau. he seems to hare divine ambition
to kill and destroy them.
The Arknnsas Is rery high now, and it may
may as well announce now that he has done
row night.

Condition Of Gen. Paul.

The St. Louis Republican Of the Goth says !:
Capt. E. ". Paul, brother Of Gen. Gabriel
Z. Paul, las kindly placed In our hands let
Yer which he received from . young relative
who paid visit to Gen. Paul, at Gettysburg,
on Sunday Inst. 4. that time the General was
doing very we'll, and was in good spirits. The
wourd from which he suffers Is very painful
one and OF an unusual character It was
made By round ball, supposed to be from j
Common hunting rifle. The ball entered the
right side Of the head in front Of and above
The right ear, near the temple. 1t passed OBJ
1iquely through the head at the base Of the
brain, fevering in its passage the optic nerye
leadirg to the right eye and coming ont
through the upper lid Of the left eye close to
The nose. It is the opinion of the surgeon
that though he will lose the sight of tie right
Eye, he will recover the use Of the left eye,
which will, however, be disdgured. His gem
era1 health is good, and it is hoped that he
will be well enough to bear removal in the
course OF a month.
The War Department felt SO well assured
from the reports that Gen. Paul had beeu
killed outright, that, considering his place In
the regular army vacated, Secretary Stanton
filled 1t by promoting another person to 1t,
and also Alled the vacancy occasioned by tbs
promotion"

government which these traitor Copper
heads were seeking to overthrow and de-
stroy, must be filed up without mo-
ments unnecessary delay-or filling in this,
that the whipped and demora1ized rebels,
seeing the utter helplessness Of the Admin
iEtration to execute the laws, in commu-
nifty which was abandoned to ferocious
and ungoyernable mob, would rally once
more their resources, and their courage,
and compel us, from sheer inequality in
the numbers which we could marshal
against them, to an inglorious peace, and q
recognition of their independence.
And this would assuredly have been the
result Of all our long toll, all the sacrifices
which we have made Of our beloved broth
crs IN the field, Of all the millions we have
expended in this war, if these vile Copper
heads had succeeded in ter7ify fying the Coy
eminent to withdraw the order for the Gu
forcement Of the draft
With these facts, and the planning Of
these villains before Us, It is next to impos-
eible to keep within the bounds Of reason
able speech about them. It is so mon-
strous, so wicked and inhuman, that
men calling themselves Ameri-
cans, should thus tramp1e their coun-
t1y, and the laws and Government which
have given life and liberty to SO many mil
lions both of citizens and aliens, under
their feet, and devote themselves to mid in
the ruin and subjugation of the Republic
BY 3 miserable and besotted oigarchy
whose avowed object In the maintenance
and continuation Of the war is the estab-
lishment Of o government to perpetuate
slavery, and destroy the liberty Of man
kind These men cannot set forth single
plea which, in the estimation Of any iury
in any civilized country in the world,
would be deemed sufficient to save them
from the gallows whose infamy they have
invoked by their crimes. They knew the
draft was Just and constitutional meas
ure-that 1t was resorted to as military
necessity, and because the safety of the Re-
public required it. They knew that its
emotions fell equally, upon the rich and
the poor alike; that no man could escape
from it; that in Boston side by side, with
the workman and the mechanic, tue high
est citizens, and the most illustrious cler-
gymen stood rank and rank; TINT the out
cry about its being an oppressive act to
the poor man WIS false, slanderous and
malicious lie; that if the three hundred
dollar clause had not been introduced, and
fixed as the maximum OF payment for
substitutes, the price tor such would
have run up to fabulous amount, and that
no poor man could by any possibility have
availcd himself Of the services Of another,
no matter how urgent, pressing and indis-
pens1ble his presence ight be in his own
home, to his own household
And to send, rs Governor Seymour did,
to Washington, demanding that the draft
should be suspended, because forsoothl a
beastly and rayenous mob, instigated by
the minions Of JEFF. Davis, had New York
at their mercy, was an insult to the Presi-
dent, and crime and treason against the
majesty Of the law, for which something
else ought to be suspended beside the draft,
lift were possible for justice to be dealt
once more in these States.

Vallandigham is at the Clifton House,
Niagara Falls, where he has settled for
life. He does not intend returning to Ohio
until he is elected Governor Of that State.
As that will never occur, he is destined to
remain where he is. Nh. Andrews, Of Vir-
ginia, has been torn from the embraces of
his negro wench, and Is in a Northern Bas-
tile. Fernando Wood has not been heard
from since the President put "a flea in his
ear" Dick Merrick, the Copperhead Col

to Vallandiggham, has doubtless gone on
similar er1and to Mr. Andrews Of Virginia,
who is inconsolable over the loss Of his

The Pacific Railroad.

The Pacific Railroad Company expect to
have trains running to Knob Nvster In John
son county, Missouri, By November, and to
War1ensburg in the same county, before
spring. The rails for this section arc already
purchased, and as soon Us the road bed shall
be completed they will be laid down without
further delay. At the same time the road is
being pushed forward from Kansas city to
Independence, and the rails for that portion
purchased; and it Will not be many months
before t1.at section also will be in operation.
This Will leave only the gap between War
rensburg and Independence, d distance Of
ff1y-two miles, to be filed; vixen the great
road will be completed.

mR. ANDREWS OF VIRGINIA IN
ANOTHER LIGHT.

No one ever heard Of mob against ne
gro slaves. Copperheads never would in
augu1ate mob against the negro in a
state Of seryitude. In that condition they
are sacred, and sooner than injure one, the
Copperhead would get down on his knees
and worship the cotton picking representa-
tive. Its only when negroes become free
men and are recognized as human beings
that Copperheads seek to destroy them.
This only makes it still stranger, that Mr.
Andrews, Of Virginia, leader of the N.
!. Democracy, chose black Congo cour~
tezan for his bcd-fellow, and has enjoyed
her embraces for several years past.

MxR THE ROMAN CAXaVAAo
CHURCH LoYAL1"


CHURCH LoEALf"
We publish this morning nearly entire q
scath;nc article from Brownson's Review,
On thc loyalty Of the Roman Catholic
church. The conclusion which this dis"
t;nc1isncd Catholic publicist-conles sedly
ono Of the most vigorous thinkers and
ab1est writer's, as well;as one Of the purest
patriots in the nation-7eaches, IS by no
means complimentary to that ancient
church. That Mr. Brownson should write
and publish what he does is proof positive
that the position Of his church towards Inc
rebellion is far from right. So lar from
its clergy and people giving the war to put
down the rebellion their hearty support,
majority, as VIC read the authors opin-
ions, arc not only lukewnrm, but they dl-
rcctly oppose it That comes from most
of Their people having been so long the
voting tools Of the corrupt leaders Of the
Democratic party. They have become SO
thoroughly debauched By the use thnt has
been made Of them that independent patn-
otisn seems completely sponged out Of
them.
To this, 1t is true, there are some noble
exceptions 4 few regiments have been
raised in different parts Of the country
whose officers and men were mostly Catho-
lies. Rosecrans, and perhaps several 9th
ers Of our really patriotic and successful
Generals, belong to the same communion,
but the public have long known what
M1. Brownson sadly and bitterly
confesses, that a minority Of his
church are under the leadership Of those
who are really the willing tools Of the re-
bellion. Els paragraph indicating how this
may affect the interests Of his church in
the future, should be pondercd carefully y.by
the leaders Of that body. Protestant
Christendom has for generations charged
it with vcsbeing in league with despot-
ism to crush out the rights Of man; will it
now continue to uphold by nearly all the
means within its power, slavery-the most
detestable form Of despotism that ever
cursed the earth?
The other religious denominations OF the
North hive given the most patriotic aud
earnest support to tile war. Perhaps ne
ought to except part Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and beside this We re.
member no other. Now it is well worth
while for the Catholic Church to inquire
whether, in this age Of progress and fiee.
dom, the vast majority Of its clergy and
people Gun afford to be any longer the tools
Of the corrupt hayes who, to establish
slavery, would destroy the best Govern.
ment the wit Of man was ever able to de.
vise. In the glorious future which it is be.
icved God has in store for this nation,
does this Church mean to be placed unmis.
takably upon the erccord as in favor Of s1a.
very to the last? When this "sum of all ri.
lainies" is about to perish and to be buried
out Of sight, amid the scorn Of the civilized
world, will professed Church Of Chris.
cleaye to its filthy carcass, and thus pol.
Lutte its sacred ycstmcuts By its rottenness1
Il is to prevent this that Mr.. Brownson
pleads and writes. Every patriot will
pray tint his labors may not be in vain.

The opposition which the New YoFa

against the draft, and which, with Cover.
nor Seymour as their g friend" they made
with vengeance, killing negroes by the

more than million Of dollars, was not
only nm act Of consummate yillainy and
dendish malice against the Fcdcnl Gov

yct resorted, to throw the game Of war. so
