Death of Floyd.

The political concoctors of the rebellion
and it's military leaders, are leaving the
scene of their labors and their infamy with
a rapidity that is startling Only lew
days ago we had news of the death of
Yancey, who originally "6rOa tie southern
heart,n end this morning we announce the
death of John B. Floyd, who, probably,
more than any other man aided the re-
bellion to become practical military ex-
istence. Some days since Holmes, the
Commander of the Trans Mississippi De-
partment, died of dehrium tremens, and
last week we had the death of Pemberton,
who was assasslnated by one of his own
followers. The career of Floyd while in
the Cabinet of Buchanan, and in the days
of the rebellion's inception, is too well
known to require to be recalled. After
the Confederacy was established, he aimed
to be more of military than a political
leader. He campagned for many months
against Gems. Rosecrans and Reynolds in
the mountains of Western Virginia and
the Kanawha country. But there he won
no laurels; and when subsequently he
was transferred to the West and took
command of the defence Of Fort Donel-
son against Gen. Grant, his only feat was
! in efectng his escape with small body
! of men prior to the surrender. Since that
disastrous day he has figured but little,
though now and then we have seen his
name in connection with military matters
| in Western Virginia. He has passed
away from the world just as the rebellion
for which he blasted bis character, per-
iured his soul, and rendered his name for,
ever infamous, is breaking to pieces; and
this latter fact had probably not a little
to do with his taking off, as well as thai
of Yancey and other of the original rebels

- There seems to have been one
precinct in Kentucky where even the
Copperhead press of that State have to
admit there was no "military domination"
at the polls. The Louisville Democrat
says Of it:
A BRIGHT SpoT.-The postmaster at
Fairview, Todd county, says the election
there passed off quietly. There were no
military present, and all who felt clear
conscience, and would take the oath pre-
scribed by the Legislature, could vote
"without any hindrance." We are pleased
to record the fact that at one v1tlng pre-
clint in Kentucky troops were not stationed
to over awe the voters aud that the judges
regard the law Of the State lnstea d OF
military ordern
Here in this "brighl spot" then, we
have the opportunity to ascertain how
Kentuckians vote when not overawed by
the military. The following is the result
Bramlette, SIT; Wicklife, 6. If this is
fair sample of the way those vote who
have "a clear conscience" and are moi
troubled with the presence of the militia
nv, the success of the Union nominees /;
| fully accounted for, and the qaietness Of
| the elections explained.

RosEcRANs AND BURNsrDE.--Dls-
patches from Rosecrans' headquarters
dated the Both ult. say that his army
crossed the Tennessee at four points on
that day with infantry and cavalry. This
crossing was near Stevenson, Ala. A
large rebel force was captured at Shell
Mound, between Stevenson and Chatta-
nooga, and one camp was taken at Fall
ing Waters. Very little resistance was
made to the crossing. 1t is understood
that the rebels are in force at Rome, Ga,
and along the railway as far as Cleye-
land. Tenn. There was a report day
or two since that the rebels had aban-
doned Chattanooga; if they are at CleVe-
land and Rome they must have done so,
Chattanooga is a place of great natural
strength, and its abandonment seems to
indicate a want of men or some serious
disaffecton among the rebels. Gen. Burn
side is near Kingston, Tenn, few miles
west of Knoxville. HIS progress thus far
seems to have been almost uninterrupted,
and should no unforeseen delay occur, we
shall expect great news from East Ten
nessee before many days.

The following are extracts from letter
written by a prominent rebelin Charleston
to friend in Philadelphia. 1t is dated
August 3,
@Our poor afflicted city is at present
the centre of attraction of the whole Con-
federacy. The great struggle has come
at last, and fear the most disastrous re-
suits will follow. Yet our people have
determined on vigorous resistance, and
will fight TO the last. Most of the guns
of Fort Sumter are being removed to
James Island and the other works IN
course of construction to harass the federal
operations. The fort is being strength
ened in all conceivable ways by sand
bags, cotton bales, &c, and every pre-
caution has been taken to enable 1t 10
show fight, yet | fear that it will be COM
PEELED to succumb to the monster guns OF
Gilmore.
Fort Moultrie, you well know, cannot
hold out for any length of time, and good
old Pinckney would crumble as an egg
she'll at the FIRST attack. Our main de-
pendence will be on our earthworks, which
have been clearly demonstrated to be the
only works capable of effectually re-
! slsting heavy ordnance, notwithstanding
bombastic' Beauregard's skillful engl-
neering.
The people are very much lncensed at
Beauregard, The Mercury is particular
" severe upon him. He has shameiully
deceived us with his everlasting bragga-
docio, which, alas, will cost us dearly. l
would that the authorities at Richmond
had sent us leader with more brains ana
less talk.
The reduction of our city is, in my
opinion, mere question of time though
should even Sumter fall, the enemy Will
have heavy work yet before them 10 reach
the city.
Still the Federals have obtained foot
hold on Morris Island (thanks to Beaure-
CARDS engineering skill,) from which l
doubt his being able to dislodge them.
/ The general impression prevailing here
IS. that with the reduction of Forts Sum
ter and Moutrie, the distractions will be
removed, and the New Orleans game
PLAYED upon us. Should such be the case
| | lear tDe rash COuuScl VI eho NV ho"e'SN
men in our midst will prevail, and GU

The loss of Vicksburg and Port Hud
son was indeed fearful blow to our hopes
it cuts us off entirely from the countr
west of the Mississippi: Already we ar
beginning to feel its effects, in the genera
D rise of the necessaries of life, for throug
9 Texas we obtained enormous supplies.
Should Charleston fall, Mobile and WI

of entry, and then they, you may be sur

The NutilatiOn for the BENEFIT Oh
New York.

A short tiTae since there appeared IN the
Geographic dispatches a paragraph to the
effect that New York city had furnished
80 ,623 men for the war IN excess OF her
quota. The statement was so at variance
with all former figures and the general
public understanding on the subject, that
it caused a good deal of surprise. 10
back up this statement, which, If true,
was intended to relieve the city OF New
York from a dra t, table was published
as a report from Adj.-Gen. Sprague to
Governor Seymour.
1t now appears, according to the state
ments of Gen. Sprague to the editors OF the
Evening Journal, that there was an I'M
portant omission in this table, as publish
ed. In other words, 1t a0aS mutttated
after its delivery TO the G00er@0r, and by
that mutilation New York city was made
to show an excess over former quotas .
The Evening journal having been charged
with " falsehood' by the Atlas and Argus,
makes the following crushing rejolnder;
"To ascertain where the conflict was,
we made further inquiry OF Gen. Sprague,
who informed us that the discrepancy
arose from the omission Of q column Of
fgures whjch he had prepared to sbor
1whot proportion Of the 1851 men en-
rolled in Nee0 York should be credited to
the country; adding that the omission OF
this column changed the whole character
Of the report; and that, if admitted, the
surrounding counties might well ask, as
some had already, if New York is al.
lowed this large excess, what can we
show that we have done 2 And. to give
emphasis to his statement, Gen. 5. eX.
hibited a copy of the figures which had
been omitted, and which aggregated
| $4,000"
As to who perpetrated the fraud there
is no positive proof, but there is reason tt
suspect that somebody about the Execu
tive Chamber, as well as the editoria
rooms of the Atlas and Argus, know al
about it.-Rochestef Democrat.

FIRST FAMILIES IN AUSTRALIA. The
report of the royal commissioners In Eng
land recommends the transportation Of all
male convicts to Australia, but the leading
people of that colony and of New Zealand
seem ndisposed to have the germ of first
family implanted among them, as 1t was
in Virginia, and have accordingly pen-
toned Queen Victoria that she Will be
graciously pleased to withhold her sane
ton from policy calculated beyond all
expression to iniure an important and rap
idly growing community; to disturb the
present happy homes of more than mil
lion of attached subjects; to lead to the
adoption of hostile tone where hitherto
the most loyal spirit has prevailed +; aud TO
embitter all relations with her Australian
subjects in the future.

The Greek Fire.

The New York News, Woods rebel
sympathizing organ, is quite as indignant
as Beauregard because the 'barbarous'
Greel fire has been thrown into Charles
ton by General Gilmore. 1t says;
sIf the Black Republican party really
believes that the success OF the Federal
arms is of nature to ensure the speedy |
overthrow of the confederacy, 1t can only |
be a fendish malice and resolve to eX-
asperate the South into prolonged resls-
lance that can explain this late recourse
to weapons hitherto ignored IN civilized
warfare. It's not strange that General
Besuregard has protested against this IN
human and unnecessary expedlent,"
The Evening Post says OF Beaure
CARDS plant against Greek fire.
"What do the rebels think fair play !
Beauregard threw hot shot at Anderson,
and bv thus setting the woodwork IN
Sumter on fire, forced the garrison to ca
pitulate. Was that fair? If not, why
did he do it? When General Scott ar
rived before Vera Cruz, and had his guns
| and mortars placed, he demanded the sur
render OF the Fort San Juan d'Ulloa UNI
der nenaltv of bombarding the city 1t the
occunants refused Why did not the gal
liant Beauregard protest then Or lslt ialr
to kill Yankees and Mexicans, but unfair,
and unmanly, and inhuman to hurt halr
of the head of a Southern gentleman
This seems to be the opinion OF the South
ern planters They are, no doubt, brave
| set of fellows, these women-whlppers,
but they do not like to get hurt. Men
who boast so much of their "chlvalry,
ought to be a little more reticent OF their
grefs. 1t does not look we'll to hear them
screaming out in impotent terror wheneV-
err, as at Fort Done,son, or at Chattanoo-
ca. or now at Charleston, they are cor
nered. and find themselves beaten by the
Yankees whom they despise."
The New York Journal of Com
merce says:
1t entirely escaped his { Beauregard's
memory. that two years ago he threw sim
liar messengers into Sumter when Ander-
son and his brave band were holding that
fortress. Similar, we say, for 1t makes
very little difference whether the ire
which is sent INTO hesieged place, be IL
the shape of red hot iron or burning NIX
tnres. We cannot see the difference be
tween throwing red hot shot into Sumter
and setting fire to its wooden buildings
making that place miniature hell Tor tht
brave men who were in it, and throwing
cold shot with fiery mixtures inside then
to kindle flame in Beauregards headquar
> tiers in the City of Charleston.
It would be considered savage to polsol
r a stream of water running into be
Il geged city, while it would be perfect,
It nroner to make it filthy and thus proven
1t It's use. or cut it off and kill the peopl
a bv thirst. Such are the nice distinction
q in the way of killing each other who
e men make as rules Of war.
Greek fire. balls, however, are clearl
within the usages of modern civilized wa
=, fare. and Beauregard cannot by an
~, ~ means show that they are contrary to II
10 most rigid rules of human destruction /
vi war. These balls have been very exteI
" ! sively experimental on in England al
~ France, and are generally adopted /
