s" for a week past. The other night the picket guard at Bird's Point came running into camp at the same speed as their going from Manassas to Washington. The picket guard were terribly excited — They brought in intelligence that Gen. Pillow was within half a mile with thirty thousand well armed men, moving on Bird's Point — The soldiers in camp were thrown into a state of confusion, which existed for some time.--They were contemplating a retreat when news came that there was nothing of Gen. Pillow's movements towards Bird's Point. General Prentiss, who has been instrumental in stealing negroes for several months, is fearful that he cannot maintain his position at Cairo, and has it in contemplation to evacuate Bird's Point and put his entire force in Cairo. General John Charles Fremont will visit Cairo in a short time; so he has informed General Prentiss. He is now in St. Louis. A few balls thrown into Cairo would cause a stampede equal to the "Virginia races.

From Missouri.Suppression of News by the Federalists — the reported battle, &c. Louisville, August 3. --A gentleman who has just reached here from St. Louis reports that important dispatches had been received there from Springfield, but had been suppressed. All telegraph messages go direct to Gen. Fremont's headquarters, where the most absolute censorship is exercised over them. A dispatch, dated at Springfield, Mo., July 29, says: Gen. McCulloch is moving slowly forward. His forces are divided into three columns, the better to subsist by forage. The Federal troops are quietly awaiting McCulloch's approach. Gen. Lyon has officially applauded Zeigle. [This dispatch was probably written in St. Louis.] Louisville, Aug. 3.--The St. Louis Democrat, just received, says that Generals Solomon and Zeigle's troops made the first three hundred and fifty miles' travel from Springfield in three days, but does not state under what impulse the time was made.

The late Major-General J. C. Fremont. The following biography of the officially defunct "commander of the Western department, " is from the Nashville Banner, of the 14th. We hold it altogether In our issue of yesterday morning we published the melancholy intelligence that Maj. Gen. John C. Fremont, commanding General of the Western Division of the United States army, is no more. He. by himself, for interment in the bosom of his family. For a man who still breathes, John C. Fremont is very dead. For a man to whom all hopes of salvation are not absolutely lost, he is verying is impossible, unless we double our corps of editors, which we can't afford to do. John C. Fremont, the C in whose name usually stands for Charles, was born, at a very early age, in the cityge. He after wards ran for President, but the result did not then seem encouraging. John Charles Fremont married Jessie, the daughter of the celebrated landscape painter. Old Bullion, who once

Oak Hills battle. Generals Price and McCulloch are determined. The Federals have 3,000 pack mules and saddles to be used in his expedition into Arkansas. Another dispatch says: A confident belief exists, but nothing positive, that Fremont is at the head of the Federal army at Springfield — that it is 48,000 strong. They have along 3,000 pack saddles, and it they force Price and McCulloch back, will throw an advance detachment of 10,000 men, by a flank movement, via Clarksville t14: Major Geo. W. Clarke: The General Commanding directs that you forward immediately all the companies that are or may be mustered into service. The Missouri army is at Pineville.

H. in a little time you may look out for John Charles, for bad roads, mire and rain will not step him long. He thinks he can move an army in these mountains as easily as he and Kit Carson would march a mule train in California; but if he don't look sharp he'll strike a snag. This regiment has just gotten through a severe winter campaign, and I tell you we caught it — it only rained and snowed twenty-seven consecutive days. Sergeant.

Gen. John B. Floyd --This officer is at present in Richmond, perfecting arrangements for the raising, arming, and equipping of the ten thousand Virginia troops to whose command he has been assigned by the Legislature. A contemporary very truly says: "Throughout the Western part of Virginia the name of Floyd is a tower of strength to the Southern cause, and the Legislature of the State, in again placing him in the field, have taken a step which will doubtless go far towards ensuring the security of the important mines and railroads of that rugged region, to conquer which is now the especial ambition of the precious knave and renegade, John Charles Fremont.

A conspiracy. The New York Herald has discovered a conspiracy among politicians of the Abolition stamp, to depose the virtuous and patriotic Lincoln, and place John Charles Fremont at the head of affairs. We venture to predict, that if they could succeed in their purpose the Herald would be the first to swing its hat for the new-comer, and help Abraham with a hearty kick into the obscurity of private life. That there will be a conspiracy in the North some day or other to depose the Washington despot, we do not doubt, for the fresh succession of disappointments and disasters, which inevitably awaits the profligate Administration of the United States, cannot fail to bring his demented subjects to their senses. Their only road to deliverance lies in the overthrow of the cabal which is exhausting them of their blood and treasure to carry out a scheme of subjugation, which is impracticable, and which none but men whose reason had been completely driven from its throne by furious pa

ng about this damnable result are right or wrong. The doctrine announced by Simon Cameron, the great Winnebag plunderer, who has robbed the Government coffers more than any criminal that ever disgraced the annals of a court of Justice, as the only plan by which he could save his ill-gotten gains, was the obliteration of State lines and the elevation of a man of perpetual power, like the arbitrary Louis Napoleon, or some one backed up by the Abolitionists, like that monstrous jackass, John Charles Fremont. (Laughter and applause.) The experience of history teaches us that whenever, from generation to generation, you bend the knee of the laboring classes of a country to a power beyond their reach, in a little while the child, following the paternal example, adopts the genuflection, and submits until at length the chains are bound upon it without any chance of breaking. It is almost the history of poor Ireland. It is the natural effect of the operations of tyranny. Mr. McMasters
