There is general rejoicing here over the
glorious triumph Of the Union party in
Kentucky, triumph fully justifying pre-
dictions of Kentucky lOyalists made direct

culiar qualification is expressed at the
choice Of Cassius Clay's brother, Brutus

General Green Clay Smith in CoEington
and Newport districts over the late mem
Der, Menzies.
The draft is progressing rapidly, and
with universal good feeling here. A large
crowd surrounds the drafting officers all
the time, and the utmost jOlity prevails.
Among those drafted are Deputy Commits
siOner Mcpherson, ofthe Internal Revenue
Bureau, Jno. G. NicOlay, one Of the Presi-
dents private Secretaries, ]. R. Hood, one
of the Chronicle reporters, Return J. Meige,
Clerk Of the District Supreme Court large
number of Department clerks, members

more negroes had been drafted to-day up

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, August B.
The National Republican contains an
editorial to which much semi-oficial i'm
portance is attached. Itsays, among other
things, if there shall be 8 slight occasion
for hostilities and the two nations are
likely to be involved in war, our steam
marine will be at once converted into pri-
vsteers and the commerce Of Great Britain
will be driven from the ocean. Thus does
the criminal neglect Of the Queen of Eng
lands advisers tend to the disturbance Of
the peace Of the world. War is not desira-
bic even with England, but war is not the
greatest Of evils. A nation Of spirit can
not submit to injustice, to insOlence, to out
rage through q series Of years and make
no effort to aYenge its wrongs.
The course Of England during the trying
period Of our troubles has alienated every
American of the loyal States, whatever his
opinions upon the Administration or the
conduct Of the war.
These are significant facts, and indicate
what the future has in store for US, The
Vaccinations Of Napoleon in Mexico de-
serve attention, but the country should
bear in mind the great fact that the United
States can restore Mexico to its place, as q
republic, whenever the attempt shall be
made; and, indeed, il is not improbable
that Napoleon will find excuse for quitting
the position that promises no good TO the
French Empire

CAIRo, August 4.
I have letters and papers from Memphis
OF later date than yesterday.
Refugees from all points Of the Gonfed-
sracy are erowding into Memphis, to es-
cape the wrath to come in that country
One Of them has sent communication to
to the Bulletin, containing some items Of
interest He writes intclligently and ap-
psrently truthfully. He was at Mobile
when the news of the fall of Vicksburg
came. Scarcely any one believed it at
first; but day or two decided the case,
and gloom spread over all the hopes of the
lovers of the new Empire Of the South
They readily conceded the fall of Port
Hudson, as q natural consequence of the
downfall Of Vicksburg. Then came the
news that Lee had been checked in Penn
sylvania; not only that, but Charleston
was invested. 1t was trying time for
the COnfederacy, such as it never saw be-
fore.
Mobile had but garrison of 2,5OO.-
Land works very extensive and require
large force. It would be hard to take the
city from the bay. Fort Morgan must be
reduced.
Two and half miles out at sea you
reach the line Of piles to prevent nearer
approach. Then comes a succession Of
batteries. At the city you find two float
ing batteries and three gunboats. On the
2sd ult, no guns were mounted on tbs
works. II attacked soon from that direc-
ton the capture would be easy.
Tho same writer says it was reported
that Banks had arrived at Biloxi in force,
and that Grant was sending him men very
fast. If SO, Mobile has fallen, or will soon
fall, for if Banks has ten thousand men,
and wishes to attack, the place cannot
stand one day against him.
General Hardee has reached JOhnstOn's
army, but brought no corps with him, as
formerly reported.

BURNING OF THE STEAMER RUTH.
CAIRo, August 5.
The steamer Ruth, valued at 100000
burned last night at midnight at the foot
of Island No. One. She was bound for He
lena and had on board eight paymasters
and their clerks with S2,000000 green
backs to pay Grants army. The following
is list Of the names;
Major n s. Brintou, Philsdelpbis, in

ing, undoubtedly lost; Frank Aglerty,
clerk Of the steamef, lost; two negro desk
hands, chsmbermaid and colorsd woman,
cabin passenger, lost; Captain Foot,
second clerk and all the rest Of the crew
saved; the papers and all books of the
boat lost; Thirty one soldiers Of Com
pany I, Ninth Wisconsin, acted as guard
to Paymasters under the command of
Lieutenant Couroer, OF these one corporal
and four privates were lost; three were
killed by a stage plank falling on them
while in the water. Altogether there was
about thirty lives lost.
The boat had on board ninety-nine head
Of beef cattle, one hundred snd twenty
mules, four hundred tons Of oOmmissary
and suffers stores, and about one hundred
tons of private freight, which was all lost.
About two hundred persons were on the
boat.
The boat was insured for $50, 900.
The fire broke out in the after part of
the boat; some say between decks; others
in the nursery.
As soon as the ire was discovered the
boat was headed for the shore, on the Mis-
souri, side, and struck the bank with full
force, the FIRE having driven the engineers
from their poste, and the engines continu-
ing to work. As soon as she struck num-
Der jumped ashore, but her stern soon
swung around down stream, her engines
still continuing to work, her bow was
turned from the shore and she again start
ed down stream. When she left the shore
about thirty persons remained on board
the boat, nearly all Of whom must have
persisted.
Steamer Shengess brought the passen-
gers saved to this city.
The remaining soldiers are said to have
acted herOieslly, and to have stood by the
boxes containing money until it was GER
tain that all would be consumed, "a
The boxes were ofiron and were burned,
being too heavy for removal. The flames
spread all over the boat in less than five
minutes.
There is no satisfactory theory as to
how the fire originated.
II is believed however to have been the
work of an incendiary in the interest of
the rebel government. r-ea Etr
An effort was made to FIRE the naval de-
pot bere night before last.

PROM THE GULF.

NEW YORK, August 5.
The steamer Eagle from Havana August
1st, arrived tonight. On her outward
passage July 24th, she saw q black smoke
to the westward. Shortly afterward she
saw 3 steamer with two white smoke
stacks, hull painted lead color, stearing
southeast At the same time she saw q
large steamer in chase but the first seemed
to be gaining on her pursuer.
The Eagle cut her off in order that the
chase might come up with her and fred a
blank shot and stopped her. She was an
English blilt side wheel steamer of about
600 tons laden with cotton, Of which, on
our approach. she threw q quantity over
board. tl-
The steamer was supposed TO be the
LseksWsns, came up and took possession
Of her.
The Eagle then proceeded on her way.
