Freaks of Loyalty.
Bloomsbury, August Is, 1864

We are informed, that few days ago
one of the Soldiers from Camp Fai.
Ground, stopped 10 take few peaches
from tho yard of a very loyal war-man
"a Soldiers Friend, when he was order
ed by him to desist. The poor soldier
didn't see the point. Again our loyal
neighbor, stepping up to tho Soldier, per,
emptorally bid him come down.
We are told, that hungry Soldier, q
few days since, called upon very loyaI
Lady-whose husband some months ago
rejoiced aloud at the "down-fall of Rich
mond"-aud asked her for loaf Of bread
She cut one in t,Co, and charged him five
cents. Another Soldiers Friend" Thi.
Lady, has no Son in the Army, but woult
rejoice to hear of the determination of al
the "Copperheads."

Gleason's New Publishing House
No % Num nler SIreet,

INO ~ SNlnnleT street.
A few days since we visited this spa.
cious and magnificent new publishing house.
For extent aud convenience, we think this
establishment unrivalled All apartments,
Offices and operating rooms are admirably
arranged, well lighted and ventilated, and
warmed by steam; in word There is moth
ing wanting to render the entire building
just what it is intended to be--a model
publishing house, On the basement, or
first floor, are several large, powerful
steam presses, boiler and engine, engineer
rnd freman's department and here the
heavy mechanical part of the work is done.
The cost of the machinery on this floor
alone, must have been over $50, 600. Four
large presses are constantly running on
the immense edition of "Gieason's Lneyu-
,y Componion," a paper universally &c.
knowledged to be the best literary journal
Of the present age. On the second, OF
street floor, is situated the cashier and head
book keepers department, and the grand
business hall, where the packing, directing
&c, is done, On the third floor, one aigh
up, is the editorial sauctum, proof reading
room, publishers Office, &C., all furnished
with elegant rosewood furniture, velve
carpets, &c. On the fourth, or next floor
are a suite of rooms devoted to the artitts
designers and engravers. On the fifth fooi
are the composition rooms, where the pa
pers and books are put in type. Ga thu
next and upper aoor is the book budery
altogether forming the most extensive
thorough and complete establishment! o
the kind in New England.

President, and IL the latter ordered him to
take the field he would have to or rerign.
Thus Blair was compelled to return to
Washington with fee iu his ear. Blair
declares that it won't do to give Mcclellan
a command unless he agrees not to allow
his namo to be used for that will bo
equivalent to the administration taking ev-
cry thing back that they have done against
him and acknowledging to the world that
they were all wrong in removing him and
treating him as they have, which will be
equivalent to giving "Lttle Mac onc.half
of the republican vote in November
This OF course, won't do.
All say that even if Mcclellan should
agree to it he could not expect anything
but ten times worse treatment than he has
ever had before just as soon as the elec.
ton is over, or perhaps Immediately y upon
the Chicago Convention nominating their
candidate. The interests Of the country,
to say nothing of his own, mako the ac.
cepiance of any such proposition as Blair 6
absurd, preposterous, and, | might say,
criminal. None but an old, worn out po.
lilical hack like Blair could have possibly
made any such proposition. In the mean.
time the troubles in the Kitchen Cabinet
are on the increase. New perplexing suo
jects are constantly turning up. Forncy
and Seward are both uneasy, aud, seeing
the drift Of affairs, have arranged thai
Forney shall let some one else take chargt
of the bottles for the campaign, and he g
abroad. Accordingly fussy Forney is tt
leave soon for Europe. The expenses O.
his trip are to be paid out of the secre
service fund Of the Department of State
this having been arranged by Seward.

THE WAR.

General Gran, has begun q singular
maneuvere. Above Bermuda Hundred is
a narrow neck Of land around which the
James River flows. The length of the riv.
er around the neck, the end Of which is
known as Ouch Gap, is seven miles
Across the neck the distance is but one
hundred and fifty yards. The Conleder-
ate distractions are sunk in the James at
Dutch Gap, and Grant conceived the idea
that canal could be dug across the neck,
deep enough to pass his gunboats through,
and by this means new movement upon
Richmond could be begun. Accordingly,
two corps, under Hancock and Birney,
were sent 10 Fosters camp on the north
bank Of the James. The canal was be-
gun For two days the troops labored
without being discovered On Sunday,
however, as was announced yesterday, the
Confoderates discovered them, and at once
tried to drive them away. From batteries
on shore, and iron clads in the James,
shells we're thrown, and the labor was se.
riously mpcded. The canal is only begun
and may never be completed. The enemy
have great powers OF annoyance for the la.
borers. 1t all proves that the siege of
Petersburg is closing. Grant has lost
another of his generals. General Ledlie,
a division commander Of the Ninth Corps,
has giben up bis command,
AT nightfall, the Federal line was one
mile nearer Richmond than Fosters earth
work, ten miles from the town and seven
miles southeast of Ford Darling. The
Conlederates opposed the further advance
oil the Federal line, and Hancock and Blr.
ney did not appear able to do much Tho
siege of Petersburg will have to be given
up if these two corps remain on the north
bank of the James. There are now no
Federal troops anywhere near Petersburg.
| The reports that General Sherman has
extended his western flank, so as to cover
the village of East Point, on the Macon
Railroad, south west of Atlanta, are again
renewed. There is nothing to warrant
them. Sherman's army, at last accounts,
extended from point on the Dalton Rail
road, four miles northwest of Atlanta, to a
point six miles west Of Atlanta, and thence
north of East Point He was not within
two miles of the Macon Railroad and ev-
cry effort to reach it had been rcpulsed.
The Confederates in the Shenandoah
Valley are still north of Strausburg -
Sheridan does not seem to intend to attack
them A Confederate reinforcement of
twenty thousand men aud twenty cannon
is announced. Nothing beyond ordinary
skirmishing will propabIy occur in the
Shenandoah Valley for few days.
The Indian war has commenced. The
Inians have attacked the residents along
TIM Overland Mail route, in Western Kan
sas' The settlers are leaving. The mail
stages are stopped.

Troubles in the Kitchen Cabinet.
WAsHINGToN, August 8, 1864.

WASHINGTON, August ., 1864.
The Kitchen Cabinet at Washington
are sorely troubled. Everything goes by
skies and sevens. The cocks are constant
~ spelling tho broth The dishmaids leave
the crockery in a greasy and sticky con-
dtion. The old washerwomen are con-
linually hanging out the dirty linen half
cleaned The boilers are leaky, and the
kitchen is constantly in hot water. Old
Blair smuts his own lace while backing
old Abe's boots. Forney leaves his bro
ken bottles lying around loose cutting 9th,
ar peoples feet and hands. Young Blair
has smashed nearly all The crockery in his
dispute with Chase. The little Blars arc
running around in evesybodie's way and
thrustnS their noses into everything -
rhurlow Weed locks in and says, Lack !!
and "Alack- a-dayj' aud starts back TO
Albany to write letter. Old Abe is so
perplexed that he can think of nothing but
10 order Hay to denounce some Of his ap-
pointees. Old Blair, in despair over the
muddle, starts off on a tour to employ new
help. Thus matters 60 on from bad to
worse. Old Blair is constantly wondering
why he cannot make the kitchen arrange
ments work as harmoniously as under
Jackson, and why the Blair family are not
as potent now as then. Old Abe, he says,
is as lank and lean as Jackson but his
legs won't work well in the ra1e. He is
constantly getting stuck in the mud, keep.
ing old Blair occupied in cleaning and
blackirg his boots.
You have already advised your readers
that Frank Blair, senior, had been in New
York; but nothing has transpired as YET
to his mission. That secret | now have
1t appears that his mission was for the
purpose of seeing General Mcclellan -
Alter exchanging The usual compliments o
the day, old Blair proceeds to business
and informs Gen. Mcclellan 'that his ser
vices was needed in the field, and that i
he will address a note to either the presi
dent or himself, stating that he hasTno po
ltical aspirations, and that lie aeiU not al
Lo,o has name 10 be used al Tie Chicago
Convention he (the President) wiH g,v,
him (Mc ClelIan) an important command
at once" This may not have been thc
precise wording of Blair's statements il
every particular but it is the precise sub
stance and purpose of his statement. Ger
eral McClelan's reply was jnst such as al
indignant man OF his ability would give tc
such proposition. AS matter of cours,
he repudiated making any bargains ant
refused to wIite any such letter but it il
said that he intimated that he, as a mill
tary officer, was under the orders Of the

To the Supporters of the Gov
erment.

We have read without surprise, but not
without indignation, the proclamation ofthe
President of the eth OF July. 1864.
The supporters ofthe Administration are
responsible to the country for its conduct !;
and it is their right and duty 10 check the
encroachments of the Executive on the au-
thority of Congress, and to require it to
confne itself to its proper sphere.
1t is impossible to pass in silence this
proclamation without negecting that duty (;
and having taken as much responsibility as
any others in supporting the Adminstra-
ton, we are not disposed to fail in the 9TH
er duty of asserting the right of Congress.
The President did not sign the bill "to
| guarantees to certain States whose Govern
ment have been usurped republican form
of Government passed by the supporters
of his administration in both Houses of
Congress after mature deliberation.
The bill did not ,thei store become law,
I and it is, therefore, nothing
The Proclamation is neither an APPROX
al nor veto of the bill it is, therefore, "a
document unknown to the laws aud consti-
tution Of the United States.
So far as it contains an apology for not
signing the bill, it is a political manifesto
against the friends of the Government.
So far as it proposes to execute the bill
which is not law, it is grave Executive
usurpation.
1t is fitting that the facts necessary 10
enable the friends of the administration to
appreciate the apology and the usurpation
be spread before them.
