GENERAL LoGAN.-When the federal army
from Washington, July Is, 1861, to give bat
tie to the rebels under Beauregard at Manas-
sas, John A. Logan was i'll congress and sup
posed to be in sympathy with Vallandigham,
Cox, Ben Wood, and other friends of the
south. Without informing any one OF his
intentions, Logan Joined Massachusetts re-
gIment us private, and shouldcring the mus
ket took his place in the ranks, not knowing,
even by name, an officer or man in the com
mand. He was in the thick of the fghtat Manas-
sas on the memorable DIST of July, 1861; and
when the federal troops retreated to AleXan-
dria and Washington, Logan, whowas slow to
leave the battlefield, got separated from his
regiment, was taken prisoner is a supposed
rebel by squad OF Blenker'S German troops,
who treated him pretty roughly, and carried
him along, under guard, to Alexandria, where
he was kept for two days in the guard house,
his captors speaking no English, and he not
acquainted with the German. Finally he was
brought before Gen. Blenker and Intercepted.
He declared himself Union volunteer, but
had forgotten the name Of his regiment, COM
pany, and officers. Of course this was con-
nrnla'ion strong Of their suspicious, for Logan
dld not disclose the fact that he was a con-
gresham. He was ordered back to the guard
house.
On leaving headquarters he was recognized
by another member of congress, who happen
ed to be there, who soon satisfied his captors
and Gen. Blenker that they had for prisoner
John a. Logan, M. c. Some months after
wards he became colonel, next brigadier gen.
eral, and is now major general of United
States volunteers. lie fought at Belmont and
fort Doneson, in both which engagements he
was severely wounded. Logan is a great IA
vorite wherever known, especially in southern
Illinois, where he is called the idol OF Egypt. In
person heis of medium height, perfectly form
ed and straight as an Indian, with long black
hair, regular features and dark complexion.
His political course before the war is remem-
bered as sold Hunker;" and his southern
friends and allies counted surely upon him in
their suicidal instruction. But he gave them
timely notice that there must be no nonsense,
no interruption of the Mississippi river. They
needed not his promise, that ''the western boys
will hew their way with their swords to the
gulf of Mexico" NJ Y EUening Post.

Mr.. FRANCIS CLARK of Auburn, a thorough
bred and experienced gunsmith, has invented
breech-loading rifle, which seems to us to
be very excellent one. The mechanism is
very simple, not likely to get out of order,
and easily managed. Every part of the gun
is strong and durable. Mr.. Clark has applied
for a patent.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1O.-A company of
citizen scouts, numbering 90 men, organizedin
North Alabama in June last, are resisting the
rebel CONSUMPTION act, and have thus far
avoided every effort to capture them. They
report to Gen. Dodge at Corinth that their
number is daily increasing. They have either
captured or driven out every officer sent to
that region to enforce the conscription.
Letters from prlvates in Bragg's army re-
port that he is retreating to Atlanta, Ga. A
considerable number of deserters, who have
retained their arms, are in the mountains near
Pikeville, Ala, and are organizing with the
citizens to resist the conscripdon. The eff
forts to execute the conscription in Western
Tennessee have been pretty generally broken
up by the vigilance of Gen. Hurlbut's army.

stronger and safer than ever. The morale
and confidence OF our army are uneXampled
Although the rebels keep pouring in shells
from forts Wagner, Sumter, and other forufi-
cations, the protection to our troops is so
complete that the casualties are hardly worth
noticing.
Capt. Paine of the Tooth New York, with
nine men, were captured by the rebels on the
night of the 4th, while on scout near Light
house creek. They made a spirited but un-
successful resistance to superior numbers.
On Sunday there was a terrific engagement
between the gunboatS, monitors, and Iron
sides, and our troops on Morris Island, and
the rebel forts. The rebel guns were finally
silenced. A boat belonging to the Ironsides,
while on picket duty last Wednesday night,
was run down by a rebel steamer. Part of
