DEAR JOURNAL The world has been
moving here as elsewhere, during the six
months, more or less, that have elapsed since
you last heard from your Rocky Mountain
correspondent, aud Colorado has not failed
to keep pace with her older sisters in the
march Of events.
The yield Of the precious metal from her
mines, owing to improvements in gold-sav-
ing apparatus, and to new discoveries that
ave been constantly made, has been con-
stantly increasing, till her products, steady
and unremitting, have become a source Of
dependence and expectation to the monied
world, so that any considerable falling off in
them would be sure to occasion financial en-
barrassment that would be felt in every de-
partment Of our national industry.
The call Of our patriotic President for
= six hundred thousand more " was respon-
10 BY the authorities here, by at once COM
mencing the raising Of third regiment,
while yet the second was not one-half filled
aud, amid many disccuragements, the work
Of recruiting has been carried on, til the
third has become little more than one-hali
filled, while the second Is understood to be
full, and the first has filed it's diminished
ranks to considerably beyond the minimum
standard. This has not been done but by
the utmsst energy, working against all the
obstacles and discouragements that hostile
minority has been able to inierpose. Since
the recent elections in New York and others
Of the Northern States. this opposition to the
government has assumed very bitter and
undsguised attitude, 50 IS at times % almost

The Voice OF the soldier.

We find in the Baltimore American
the address OF the Ohio soldiers Of the
Western army 10 the people of Ohio.
II is an eloquent appeal. We have
room for only few specimens Of the
style and earnestness in which these
brave, patriotic, loyal, self-sacrifcing
men address those who remain at
home:
ave are Sighting for the Republic !;

arms, cur lives. We intend to stand
between yen and the desolating hosts
Of the rebels, whose most cherished
hope and desire has been to take pos
session Of and ravage your own beau

stood as living wall between you AMI
this fate, and We may have 10 do il
again.
We ask you now to stay, support

NoTIcEs OF PUBLIcATIoNs.--In
the diversion of mind occasioned by
attention TO many things, we may have
failed to notice at the. proper time, the
reception at this office of the Edin-
burgh Revie,cs, and the London Quar-
terly, for the last quarter. Both of
these works were received in due time.
They are large, thick, substantial
Quarierlies, containing from eight to
ten articles. Those OH The present
rebellion favor the wrong side, as we
think. But il may be useful fof as to
hear what other people say of US.
When we look at the articles in these
various publications, we have to re-
greet the want Of time to read and ap-
propriate their contents.

General Butler i'm baltimore.

The Baltimore american speaks Of
the reception Of Gen. Butler in that
city as a grand and enthusiastic dem
onstration. The weather was unfa-
vorable al the time of his arrival, yet
he was met at the cars by several
thousand persons, many of whom
seemed determined, despite the ele-
ments, 10 give the distinguished advo-
cate Of the Union a most enthusiastic
and heartfelt reception.
Il was intended to have a public
dinner at the Eutaw House, after Wis
iting the Notifications, but sad acci-
dent while firing a salute, resulting in
the death of Commander Woodruff,
Of the Navy, prevented the festival
from being held. The death Of Com.
Woodruff is very much deplored. II
was occasioned by his being behind
the officers when passing one Of the
guns engaged in firing the salute.
The gunner supposing all had gone
by, fred the gun when Com. Wood
hull was directly in range, without his
being seen. 1t is said that The wad
struck him with such violence as 10
force him twenty feet or moro. The
flesh was badly torn from his limbs.
and he died before the surgeon could
get to him. He had been in the Navy
thirty years, and was esteemed brave
officer and devoted TO the Union. One
OF bis sons is on the staff OF Gen.
Schenck. He left wife and three
children. He was buried in the Cor.
gressional burial ground at Washing
ton. He was man much respected
and did at the age Of fifty.

The Dcfcncrs OF Charie~ton.
Ilit nearly Two years since by the
attack on Fort Sumter the war Of
rebellion was begun In this city. The
rebels have reasonably expected that
this place would be an Object Of at
.Aeb and capture, by The Union forces,
as soon as !, might seem practicable
for them to DO il. In the mean time
the rebels have no, becn idle. With
good engineers to lay cot the work, sand
d plenty Of slaves to labor on the forts,
they have now probably made them IS
formidable to any force tina, may at
tack them, IS il is their power to do.
Il is we'll that our people at home
should know something Of the magni
lude Of this undertaking, so that they
may not OK Get 100 much from Illis
quarter. Our forces viii do what they
can. but in this case. !, will be well to
remember. that f iron makes strong

defences, ard these may be 50 equally
matched, that victory on either side,
may be very doubtful.
Charleston Is now said 10 be Sec

guns were made in Europe, and have
been sent 10 the rebel by our good
friend. abroad, in swift ships to ran

city by land, or sen, are all strongly
guarded. The Forts are covered in

recently made an attack on our YES

All the batteries are said 10 be fully
manned. Thiriy-fye Thousand men
now occupy the dtieucrs and this
number is increasing continually.
Yet after all, il is thought that the
place can be captured, although j,
