The ] 7th Illinois Cavalrv:

L portion of tie 18th Illinois cavalry
ofaee,cd chiefly from the old sth, is doing
good service hunting bushwhackers in Mis-
souri, One battalion Of four companies, under
Lieut. Colonel Hynes, is Stationed ut ST.
Joseph. The second battalion, under Major
Matl ock, is stationed at Glasgow, on the riv.
er, and the remainder is sill at Alton doing

Beyeridge has his headquarters. One squad.
ron Of Lieut. Col Hynes' battalion has re.
Gently been stationed at Weston, a.miserable
rebel hole The boys are securing all the
count1Y round about in pursuit Of gneri1las.
We understand that the battalion at Glasgow,
pnder the fighting parson, Matlock, has had
flne run Of luck in catching the Villains,
having drawn bead on forty or fifty within
n fortnight. The success IN hunting gueril-
las in Gen. Fisk's district, Western Missouri,
causes the Cincinnati Lquinr and other o,
4. z. organs to declare that 1t is an Abou-
tton rand to kill If the Democrats, in order
to secure the vote Of Missouri for Lincoln
and the Radical State ticket Lieut.. Colonel
Hynee has been appointed By Gen. Rose
Grams, at Gen. Flsk's request, Chief Of Cayal.
~ Of the District Of North Missouri He ia
a braye;- dashing officer, who bates a rebel
only less than Copperhead. The Colonel
Was formerly an emplo5ee Of the TRIBUNE
office, and Of couree We feel interested in his

1t is not surprising that the good news

piete-. a place Of 60 much importance to
the Confederacy, aud for the fortitying Of
which 80 much time has been allowed, could
hardly be expected to be taken By q corp de
main Our information ia too imperfect Jet
to enable Us to Judge Of the amount Of work
still to be cone for Its capture, and whether
1t is likely to be taken at al by the present
novemsnt- Whatever remains to be acoom-
pliebed, it is etill true that q glorious thing
hss been already done, In riding psst the txo

beating The rebel feet, and In capturing their
Admiral. It vindicates the supremacy OF our
navy, with half chance for operations.
There are two grounds for hope Of still fur
ther achievements Of satisfactory kind at
that point. One is that Farragut commands:
and We have faith in him, that he will &C.
complith ~hstereris possible in tho circum-
stances; The other ia, that in the sid straits
to which the rebel army at Atlanta Is re-
duced, 1t cannot be very likely that, any
troops can be spared, just now, from Gen
Hcod, for the relief Of Mobile. Sherman is

TIE AN6L0-F FhENGii 39e ALLIANCE IN TuElH
AND RUSSIA. by REV. c. B. BorNTos, D. D.
II eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,
and If we have enemies without as well as
within, who, insidiouEly, and while main,
taining professions Of friendship, would sub.
vert our liberties If they could, we are Ger.
tainly indebted to the author for directing
attention to the attitude Of these two pow.
ers towards the United States. It did not
escape our notice when the rebellion com.
menced, that while they claimed neutrality,
It was that kind Of neutrality which furnish.
cd an the aid and comfort to the enemy,
which could be furnished short Of actual
war; and that the time of our troubles was
chosen as favorable opportunity for treat
ing With contempt our cherished Monroe
doctrine, By establishing European authority
on the neighboring soil Of Mexico. Our
growing strength and national greatness
have bet \ anything but pleasant IN the eyes
OF the arletocracY Of Europe, and when our
tree institutions were placed on trial before
the world, such men as Mr. Roebuck enter
taincd tie hope that We should be divided.
then weaker ed, and then placed under cir
cumbt2nces where our policy could be die
tated by the crowned heads OF the old world.
The war IN which ne are engaged Is felt to
be that on which the interests Of the civilized
world deEend. It Is that In which the rights
OF humanity are ragged against despotlsm.
In such contest tho sympathies OF despots
Wonid paturally be On the side Of the slave
holding oltgarcby, for II the rights OF hu-
man1ty are now vindlcated, there is hope for
the oppressed everywhere.
The fact that France had once assisted us
to establish Republic, ard that England
had sacrificed muchin the cause Of civil lib
etty, did not prevent them from treating the
