q military government to exercise all the
rowers Of the State, surely Congress can
proceed to organize civil government With
In the same limits for the ssme purpose; nor
can shy pretenEion Of State Rights be effect
i've against Congress more than against the

Congress By higher title than 1t belongs to
the President: first, because civil govern

and, secondly becauee there are provisions
Of the Constitution under which this power
is clearly derived.
Assuming, then, that the pretension Of

further assuming, that, In the case Of mill

that Andrew Johnaon continued to occupy

two principles of parliamentary Law long ag'

that it is not Infected By any subsequen
change in constituency; and, secondly, tha

From WashinEtOn.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-It is not true, as
reported, that John G. Underwood of Virginia
has been captured by the rebels. Gov. An
drew called on the president to- day. Rebel
deserters say that portion of Lees army has
gone to reinforce Bragg.
On Sunday night small party of rebels
crossed the Potomac riyerat the mouth of Sem
eca creek, and helped themselves to horses
and other property. On previous occasion
another gang came over, and, after depredat-
ing on several farms, carried off few mules.
The0wner followed the thieves, and reported
the facts to White, the partisan leader, who
denounced the act, instituted a search, recov-
cred the mules, and sent the offenders to Rich
mond for trial. The owner of the mules did
notfare SO well on this side. He was arrested
and is now in prison for holding intercourse
with the enemy.
Three of the guns recently captured by the
Minnesota near fort Fisher, in the vicinity of
Wilmington, N. c., have arrived in Washing
ten. They are of English manufacture and
one is Whtworth gun. They are splendid
pieces of ordnance, and had apparently been
used but short time.
Refugees and rebel deserters from the
country between the Potomac and Rappahan-
mock come in at the rate of ten every night

[From Last Evenings Dispatches
CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 12.-NO details of
Gen. Negley's engagement at Dug Gap have
come III. From all that can be gathered the
casualties were light. Gen. Negley retired
three miles to the foot of Lookout mountain.
Gen. Baird's division was also engaged. Dug
Gap is four miles south of New Lafayette,
where the main body of Braggs army was at
the time of the engagement. 1t is thought
that Bragg feared to lose control over his line
OF retreat to Rome, and was retreating slowly
to avoid repetition of the scenes of the Tul-
lahoma retreat, and to prevent struggling.
Nevertheless, large numbers of desert1rs
come in daily. Three hundred of the 10Th
Tennessee regiment came in in a body. At
least one thousand deserters have arrived
here since the evacuation, and large number
are said to be on Missionary Ridge. Gen.
Crittenden is reported to have occupied La
tayette to-day, and the army is again concen-
| trated.
New YORK, Sept. IA Glasgow (Ky0
dispatch to the Tribune states that a party of
guerrillas, in command of Hamilton, anil
numbering about three hundred, appeared on
the cross roads of the Berksvlle and Tom
kinsville pike, where camp meeting was in
session. They dashed in among the people,
producing great panic and scattering the
re5ation. The ladies were robbed of their
Jewelry, the men of their watches and purses,
and many valuable horses were stolen. Col.
Harvey, commanding here, Immediately sent
forward party of cavalry to intercept the
thieves, but they could not be found. They
came within five miles of this place.

IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTHWEST
RIOT OF WOMEN IN MOBILE.

MEMPHIS, Sept. ll.-Refugees, lately ar
rived within our lines, bring exciting reports
OF the terrible condition of affairs in the south.
One man, who left Mobile on the 10th, says
there was a terrible riot of soldiers wives in
Mobile ON the 4th. About six hundred
women and children collected on Spring
Hill, armed with clubs and hatchets,
and then marched through the principal
streets, carrying banners inscribed: "bread
or blood" dread or peace" and other
similar inscriptions. Being soldiers wives,
their proceedings were winked at by the sol
diers. who made but feeble resistance.
Stores were broken open.
One merchant, jew, struck one of the
women and some policemen beat him severe
ly. Many citizens left the town, among them
our informant, who says the riot was increas
ing when he left.
The rebel cavalry in our front are very ac-
tive, probably masking some movement of
their main army. Skirmishes are frequent,
but amount to little. Our forces are general
ly successful in these little affairs.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE steamer Roa-
noke, from Havana the 9th, arrived tonight
The dates from Vera Cruz are to the 9Th.
There was great scarcity Of food in Mexico.
Many of the inhabitants had been imprisoned
for assasSinating French soldiers and refusing
to take the oath OF allegiance. The Peruvian
minister had received his passport and been
ordered to leave the country for having writ
ten to JuareZ. 1t was rumored that Corwin
had been rendered his passport, also, but this
was not confirmed. The reports that Doubla-
do and Comonfort had declared in favor of
the new regime have turned out to be false.
A French convoy from Mexico to Vera Cruz
was capture by the guerrilas at Saledad, and
the greater part of the guard were killed
The troubles in SantO Domingo were in
creasing; the rebels were in great force; and
the general in command of the French troops
calls for more soldiers. Merchant ships
were seized and pressed into the service to
carry troops. Several war steamers had
arrived at Puerta Plata, and troops were COM
ing in from Matanzas and Cardinas, to be
sent to Santo Domingo. Particulars are
CAREFULLY concealed from the public here. 1t
was feared that the great lack of rain in Cuba
would render the coming crop very small.

on which frents the principal church Of the
city, was allied with a raging mob, athirst for
Saoed, Nicholas did not know what fear was.
re dismissed his guard, took drosky, like
any private individual, and drove to the great
square. There was no installing that males
seconded from his carriage, the people fell
back before him, as he walked alone, calmly
and fearlessly through them, till he assembled
to the platform in front of the church, and
Frustrated himself before the altar, He was
no longer ear, no longer emperor, no longer
earthly sovereign. He was their great High
Priest. the head of the church, the spiritual
sovereign of their religion, holding commun-
/ ion with their God. The hush of great awe
fell over the crowd, the tumult ceased, the
excavations and yells of rage died out, and
when the emperor rose up, and waving his
hand, cried, in his clear penetrating voice,
my people, to your knees" the whole vast
multitude, thousands upon thousands, tell
upon their knees, and joined in the act of
worship. The police made a few arrests, the
people quietly dispersed, the riot was quelled,
and Nicholas rode TRANQUILITY back again to
his palace.
This mighty power, underlying the Russian
throne, showed itself again III the Crimean
war. 1t was war for religion. Kinglake
says its exciting cause was quarrel between
a few old monks as to who should keep the
key of the principal door of the temple at
Jerusalem. The Russian people heard
themselves called to battle in the name Of
religion. Prince Gortchakofs proclamation
contained these remarkable words, "RuSsia
is called to annihilate paganism and those
who would oppose her in that sacred mission
shall be annihilated with the Pagans Long
life to the car Long life to the God of the
Russians" Stimulated and excited in this
manner tine Russian people rushed into the
Crmean war, as the old nations rushed to the
Crusades, and the world has testified how no.
bly, they fought and endured in that terrible
contest.
How this wonderful union Of spiritual and
temporal power in the hands of the car has
affected the civilization and advancement of
Russia, and how much it has enabled the czar
to do for the cause of emancipation we shall
consider hereafter

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoTOMAC,
Sept. l3.-Gen. PleasantOn to-day reached a
position three miles beyond Culpepper, after
considerable skirmishing with the enemy. We
captured three guns and forty prisoners. The
I'd army corps now occupies Culpepper. 1t
has been thought for several days past that
the rebel forces were abandoning their Rap
pahannock line and falling back on Gordons-
vile, and on Friday the fact was discovered,
and it is believed that nothing hut a rebel cav
airy picket is on this side of the Rapidan.
Tuere is no movement towards any of the
gaps in the valley of Virginia, so the rebels
cannot be inaugurating another invasion
scheme. The movement is regarded as
strange as it is unexpected
The Times headquarters of the army of the
Potomac dispatch, dated the 10th, states that
it is believed that one corps of Lees army is
moving to Richmond. The Times Washing
ton dispatch states that the corps of Ewell
and Hill, recently encamped between Culpep-
per and Gordonsville, have fallen back, aud
are now at Gordonsville. This evidence of
the weakening of Lees army by detaching
reintorcements for Beauregard and Bragg, is
conclusive.

J. ID. BALDWIN, ESQ, Sir; saw
in the SPY some time since something about
a horse jumping through window in North
Brookfield. Many people doubted the truth
OF that story; but l believe it, for have seen
the hole the horse went through. We of old
Brookfield do not boast of any jumping
horses; our horses are of more docile kind;
but we do think we can not only take down
the four Brookfelds, but the whole county,
on cows. We have some of the smartest
ones than can be found anywhere. Mr.. Isaac
H. Ayres. our livery stable keeper, purchased
a COW OF Mr. George Twichel, sometime
since, and took her home, turned her into his
barn loose and fastened the door, but left the
stable window open. The sill of the window
is three feet nine inches from the floor, the
size of the hole is two feet one inch in breadth.
The cow jumped through that hole and did
not leave mark on her hide anywhere She
left few hairs on the window sill, but none
on the sides or top. The COW is above mid
ding size, and is Il fine-looking COW. If any
body can beat that we "cave" on cows, that's
all. Yours truly, GEO. s. DUAL.
