A Letter from Admiral Dupont.

A number of the principal citizens Of
Philadelphia has recently rendered Adj
miral DUPONT the compliment of public
dinner, in recognition of his distinguished
services on the South Atlantic. The Ad-
miral declined the honor in letter, Of
which the following is an extract:
Believe me that do not the less highly prize
your estimate of my service in our eountry's
eause-no officer of the navy could be other
wise than inspired by zeal in such cause. A
life dedicated to my profession entitled me to a
field of duty, where arduous service was to be
rendered; how arduous and varied that SER
vice has been my cOuntrymen can now very
inperfectly Judge. But till history can lift the
veil which transient interests, public or per-
sonal, throw over the events of that PERIOD
owe it to my companions in arms to say that
the country cannot over-estimate the Obliga-
tons due the officers and men who, under my
command, won in battle foothOld on the
coast whence the rebellion had expelled every
vistage of the national authority; held that
coast for four hundred miles with the grasp of
iron, which the enemy stTOve in vain to break,
and which foreign nations were compelled to
respect; who illustrated the national arms by
many brilliant exploits; were always crowned
with victory when my professional skill was
consulted and respected and who showed
themselves more heroic in their failure before
Charleston than when victorious at Port
ROYAL
For myself, even if passing events have not
already indicated me, can await the verdict
of history, and in the meantime shall bear
with me the grateful recollection of your kind

New UllHl Sufferers,

1t will be remembered that Congress, at
its last session, appropriated 100000 for
the relief of those persons who suffered
from the outrages committed by the In
dams in Minnesota. This appropriation
gives to every person who so suffered the
sum of 5000, as a mOrsel Of immediate re-
ief, with the expectancy of doing better
by-and-by. The Sioux Commissioners are
now in session at St. Anthony, and are
paying off these 5000 claims as fast as they
are presented, properly vouched for.
United States Commissioner Hoyne was
engaged all day yesterday in deciding upon
claims of this kind. The proof being pro-
duced that claim is genuine, Commits
sioner Hoyne at once gives the claimant
such vouchers as will ensure him his money.
Nine cases were heard yesterday. 1t is
rather tedious task, and necessarily pro.
crosses slowly. There are about sixty per-
sons who have presented their claims here,
all of them New Ulm sufferers, and nearly
all Germans. 1t will probably require three
or four days to audit the claims. The
money that is paid out in this way will, we
are told, be deducted from the debt of the
United States to the Sioux Indians, which
is about $4,000, 000.-CKicaqO Post, 18th

1t is worse; it is tool of the Executive,
by which the constitution is practically
overthrown and military dictatorship es-
tablshed in its stead, characterized by
base assumption of power on the part of
the Executive, and baser betrayal of
trust on the part of Congress.
THE DEFENCEs OF MOBILE
From the Mobile Register,
We have hemmed ourselves in and the
Yankees out with Chinese walls above
ground, and of hospitable preparations to
receive the proposed visits under and on
top OF earth, which afford US the perfect
assurance that our "house is in ORDER for
aIl the eventualities of war; Many people
~ Tue interior take it for granted that
MoDlle must knock under to the Yankees
as soon as they knock at our doors. They
are as much mistaken as the Yankees are.
II Mobile is but half as we'll defended az
Charleston has been, the gridiron flag will
never ny over 1t. Vicksburg was suppos-
ed to be lmpregnable by these people. and
when 1t fell the bottom of the tub Of de-
fenslve engineering fell out with them.
and nothing could be held against the
Yankees. Yet sand battery on Morris
Island has for forty days resisted fire to
which that of Sebastopol was but play.
Our unhopefu friends in the interior will
perhaps be surprised to hear the opinion
that Mobile is stronger than Vicksburg,
both IN The means of offence and defence,
That Is our opinion, and when the trial
comes it will be verified. Gov. Sucreer
lost his election mainly by his patriotic eff
forts to supply the labor to work on Mobile
defences. First and last he sent to our
engineers from 5000 to 10000 hands.
What do the doubters suppose these hands
have been about under the direction of the
best engineering talent in the Confederacy
Let them come up and see and change their
opinions

corn, sbut she did not care for that. The
General assured her her corn should be paid
for, and asked how much she had. She said
there were four acres in the lot. He asked
how much it yielded to the acre. She
said, if well tended it would yield sixtv
bushels, but she had been obliged to tend f
herself, and thought there was only thirty
bushels to the acre, and would only take
pay at that rate. These incidents of the
simple honesty of the people will illustrate
their character, and the feeling with
which they looked upon the triumph
ant march of our troops. They care
little about the "policy of the Administra
ton" All they want is that the rebels
shall be whipped and the Union restored.
They have no fears after that. They
associate, as we'll they may, liberty, Justice
and peace with the Union; and they know
they have had oppression, anarchy and
blOodshed in the Southern Confederacy.
1t is common expression among them,
"We were born under the old flag and
the Constitution. They are good enough
for us, and we intend to die under them"
About Knoxville the people were pointing
ont hiding places of rebel stores, and were
Jealous in so doing. The prominent Sc
ceSsiOnists of Knoxville fled with Buckner.
There are a few left who have assisted the
secession blood hounds, and the popular
expression was, "they must leave here or
they must die. They can't live here"
The Quartermaster' Department was
in charge of Captain Morris during Burn
sides march, and admirably conducted.
The troops moving rapidly and for great
distance through barren country, were
never without rations, and only two wag-
ons were abandoned on the march. They
were broken down on the mountains.
This is astonishing, as the trains were very
heavy, one of them consisting of five hun
dred wagons.
The health of the army is all that could
be desired. When it reached Knoxville,
it was supposed the hardships endured on
the forced marches would cause mnch
sickness and a hospital was prepared But
SO few entered it for treatment that the
Surgeon in charge said he had nothing
to do, and asked to be permitted to join
his regiment The most singular good
fortune attended the expedition through
out. Nothing was wanting to its COM
plete success.
We derive these particulars from Major
". II. Church, of New York, Medical Di-
rector of General Burnside's army, who
accom- panied the General from Grab Or
chard to Cumberland Gap, which place he
left soon after the surrender. He arrived
in the city Saturday night, and is stopping
at the Burnet House. He is a gentleman
of high character, and, in speaking of
things he had seen, the most implicit con-
fdence may be placed in his statements.

WASHINGTON, September 16.-The fol-
lowing Is Gen. Burnsides official report cf
the occupation of East Tennessee:
II. ADQUARTFRs DEPARTMENT OF TIE One.
NEAR LoUDoN BRInGE, Tenn, Sept !
Major zen. II. W. HALLEcK, Geaeray-ia. CHIEF:
| have the honor to inform you that our
forces now occupy Knoxville, Kingston,
and other important points. Gen. Hart
SUITS corps, after the concentration Of
which | notified You, moved forward. Gen.
Carriers cavalry division of that corps pre-
coded the corps in three columns-one I'M
der command of Gen. Shackelford, on Lou
don Bridge; one under Col. Bird, on
Kingston; and one under COL Foster, on
Knoxville. The last-named places were
taken without material opposition but at
Loudon the enemy was strongly posted.
After a brisk skirml>h they were driven
back by Shackeltord's command They
fired the bridge before they retreated, and
it is now in ruins. COL Bird captured at
Kingston steamboat in process of con-
structiOn, but nearly finished. Col Foster
captured at Knoxville two locomotives and
number of cars And a very consider
able amount OF army stores was captured
by different brigades of Carriers division.
Great praise is due to the troops of the
command for their patience, endurance,
and courage during the movement.
Hartsutf's corps, which has been in adj
vance, has proved itself to be one of the
best in the service.
| am thankful to report that We suffer-
ed no loss from the hands of the enemy,
except few wounded
| have the honor to be, General very
respectfully, your obedient servant,
A E. BURNSIDE, Maj Gen. .
Gen Rosecrans writes to the govern
ment that rebel conscripts are running
into his lines by hundreds, and desire to
join his army. He says, in his letter, that
Tennessee is now more loyal than his own
State of Ohio.

years OF age, was well known in financial
and commercial circles, had been for many
years President eff the Bank of North
America, and was much respected by a
large circle of friends. He had long been

FROM THE SOUTH.
A Blast Against Jeff. Davis.
THE DEFENCES OF MOBILE.

INFORMATION AGAINST JEFF. DAVIS.
From the Charleston Mercury, Sept5.
Although carefully covered over with
the mantle of secrecy by Congress, enough
has been disclosed by stern realities to
show the total incompetency of President
Davis to govern the affairs of the COnfed-
eracy. He has lost the confidence of both
the army and the people; and if an cleo
ton tomorrow were to come off for the
Presidency, we believe he would not get
the vote of single State of the Confed-
eracy. Yet if the Provisional Congress
had done its duty-if the present Congress
would do its dut President Davis could
readily be driven into course of efficiency.
He is President of the Confederate
States for six years. The constitu-
ton has been proved to be made
quate to rectify his imbecilities. He can
be controlled and directed, as the King
of Great Britain is That government is
constitutional monarchy, having co-ordi-
nate branches. In Great Britain, no eo-
Icy of the government, no Cabinet advi-
sers, can stand against the expressed Opin-
ion of the House of Commons. Are the
people less potent in the Confederate
States, through their representatives in
Congress, than the people of Great Britain
in Parliament? We do not believe it.
Parliament has no power, like that of Con-
gress, to pass law in spite of the Kings
veto; yet no King, since 1858, has dared
to veto bill passed by Parliament. No
King has dared to defy public opinion in
the appointment of the national counselOrs
and the commanders of armies, setting up
personal favoritism and partisanship above
efficiency.
The legislative power which Congress
possesses, as to measures and men, can
control the government and force etficien-
cy into the administration whether in the
appointment of Cabinet officers, COM
manders of armies and bureau officers, or
in the management of our diplomacy, our
finances, our military operations, our naval
preparations, and the efficiency of our bu-
reaus of CONSUMPTION, cOmalissaly stores,
and quartermaster' stores. But this can
never be done by those who look upon
President Davis as soar Moses" Con-
gress must assume its duties under the
constitution as an independent element of
power. 1t must abandon the idea that it
is only secret body for registering the
will of the President 1t must be the peo-
pie standing forth in the light of day,
clothed with the whole legislative power
of the government, and with their agent,
the President, instrumental for their de-
liverance. That our cause will ultimately
triumph we do not doubt, in spite of the
incompetency of President Davis and his
silly and most disastrous policy, by which
the Confederate States have been deluged
with blood, and covered over with suffer-
ing and misery. His inefficiency and Yam
kee efficiency will both be overcome.
But if President Davis is to be treated
as sour Moses, we really do not see the
use of Congress. If the people, through
their representatives in Congress, are to
exercise no power, but at the bidding OF
the Executive, Congress is nonentlty.

Ice for DIptlleria.

A correspondent of the Providence
Journal vouches for the efficacy of ice as
a cure for diptheria, Group and all ordi-
nary inflammation of the throat. The
manner Of application is as follows:
Break up a small lump of ice in towel and
put the pieces in bowl. Take position slightly
inclined backwards either in a chair or on a
sofa. Proceed for halt an hour with tea
spoon to feed yourself with small Jumps OF
ice, letting them dissolve slowly in the back
part Of the mouth or entrance of the throat.
A single such application will often break up a
common sore throat, which otherwise would
have course Of two or three days. In case OF
a bad sore throat, use the ice frequently and
freely. In case of liberation or diptheria, keep
small lump Of ice constantly in the mouth.

Two Children Killed by a provost
Guard.

JEFFERSON CRY, No., Sept. 13.-Two
little girls, daughters of Major Dale, 4th
Missouri Militia, and Capt Burger, for
merly of the 18th Missouri infantry, were
playing on the steps in front of the resi-
dence of DR.. Burns, in this city, at seven
O'Clock last evening, at time when the
provost guard was passing. One of the
guard sat down on the curb stone at the
corner near by, and in some mariner his
musket was accidentally discharged; the
ball passed throsgh the bodies of both the
girls. Major Bales daughter was Shot
through the left side, fracturing slightly
the lower rib, making fearful wound
through which the intestines protruded.
She is now dying.
But a most horrid sight was the daugh-
ter of Captain Burger The front of the
abdomen was literally torn away, and the
bowel, gusned out. She was also wound
ed in the leg, it having been drawn up so
that the ball passed through it and her
body. She died at four o'clock this morn
ing The scene after the accident can
better be imagined than described. The
shrieks of the frantic mothers, and the
means of the little sufferers, covered with
blood, made strong men weep.
