rginians acknowledge their ancestors to be. Yet those men say they are ready to aid the Government in during this "rebellion" (as they pronounce) in the seceded States, and some of them ture so far as to say that they would every man, woman and child slaughter the South, that the Laws and the Condition that the usurper Lincoln has so violated may be executed in every State, Value to California; and there are local in this county where Secessionists are no lowed to express their sentiments; but I that the day is not far distant when every man may see the errors that they had been committing, and awake to a tree their duty, and rally around the banner of South. While it is with deep regret give you the feelings of a majority of the ple of Kentucky, I am happy to inform that there are a great many, although minority, who are ready to rally around banner; and it is my sincere prayer may waive victoriously in every conflict did on the memorable 21st of July Manassas.

The Independent Press at the North. The telegraph informs us of further outrages by mobs and by authority of Lincoln upon the presses of the North who have dared to question the constitutionality of his acts of the wisdom of the attempt to subjugate the South. We refer the reader to them. It is painful to see such noble defenders of constitutional liberty as the New York News and by Book suppressed; and we cannot too deeply lament the loss to the cause of enlightened liberty by the censorship reported to be satisfied over the press of Baltimore. The able he hold, and manly Exchange and South were in honor to that city and the age. The Republican was also a worthy colleague with them in the noblest cause of the time. They were a terror to Lincoln, and in this day of dark shadows for him they were more than he could endure. We hope that ere long there will come a in and around Baltimore that will unleased their shackles.

ous sections of the city, accompanied by citizens. At four o'clock in the afternoon the vehicles were drawn up in front of the Gilmor House to convey them to the boat for Old Point, and a large crowd of persons were present to witness their departure. When they merged from the house the people on the street cheered, and from almost every house in the neighborhood the handkerchiefs of ladies waved from every window. As they passed down Baltimore street, a large throng at the corner of South street gave them three cheers. From every direction the people flocked to the wharf of the boat, until several thousand were assembled, covering the wharf, the sheds, and all the vessels lying near. --The soldiers took their positions on the after part of the upper saloon deck. At half- past 4 o'clock the lines of the Louisiana were cast off, and as she left the wharf three cheers were given for the departing soldiers. The Bible not contraband.

rday, all the way from Albuquerque creek, in New Mexico, via Kansas City, St. Louis and Cincinnati. They left the military post on the 25th of June last in a Mexican train to Kansas. It is miraculous how they came through, and almost incredible; yet so it is. Nothing but the shrewdness of Edmund could have deceived the marauders in Kansas, and the cunning of his and our enemies nearer home. He reports Capt. Van Bockklin with his family on their way to Washington, where Capt. Van B. was ordered after court-martial and five months arrest, to report himself. This he will do as soon as the ground can be travelled over, and at once resign, to serve his native South in her struggle for liberty, in freedom from the despotism of King Abraham. It will be remembered that Capt. Van Bockklin married the oldest daughter of the late Judge Charles Tessier, of this city. We hope it will not be long before we can welcome them home, and learn that he assumes his rank in the Confederate service.

ns that Mr. E. J. Marshall, late telegraph operator at Paducah, Ky., who escaped with his instruments the day the Lincolnites took possession of that place, has arrived at Trenton, Tenn., safe and sound. A detachment of Hessian cavalry was sent in pursuit of him, but he managed to elude them. Aid for M'Culloch. The Fort Smith Times, of the 7th, learns that five regiments of troops from Texas, will join Gen. McCulloch in a few days.--Also, one regiment from Mississippi, and one from South, Carolina. Movements of General A. S. Johnston. The Constitutional, of Alexandria, Louisiana, has information direct from Mesilla, which states that on 5th inst. Gen. Johnston was at Picach, about five miles north of Mesilla, in command of the Confederate forces, which command, tendered by Lieut, Col. Baylor, the General had accepted. The Confederate forces numbered about 500 men and had four pieces of artillery. They were awaiting and preparing to give a warm reception to four c

since, and entered upon the practice of his profession. His genial disposition and kindliness of heart secured for him at once a goodly number of clients, many of whom, if they are possessed of the least gratitude, must deeply sympathize with him now in his hour of trial. When the remains of ex-President Monroe were removed from New York to Richmond, Mr. Sullivan was one of the sons of Virginia residing in New York who escorted the honored remains to the ship that bore them to their native South. During the last Presidential contest he was an ardent supporter of Mr. Breckinridge. The fact of his being counsel for some of those of our countrymen who are now in the hands of the "Philistines," I have no doubt, was a labor of love he cheerfully imposed upon himself. My knowledge of the man — and I am proud to call him my friend — warrants me in forming such a conclusion. Having, on several occasions, been the recipient of kindnesses on his part. I feel deeply for him in his aff

d of this month the United States will have a large fleet on the coasts and on the rivers, and I have reason to think that an expedition will be organized also to attack the Texan Secessionists from the West--far as that is away. A naval officer said to me the other day: it seems as if the moment an American sees an Englishman, he thinks the latter is going to say something about cotton: "You need not be afraid of any want of cotton in England. By October we will have a few good ports down South, and plenty of cotton for all the world." Fernandina may possibly go soon; there is an eye on Pensacola also, and New Orleans is by no means safe. The condition to which the blockade has reduced many classes in the South is bad enough — it will become worse. Tea, coffee, and clothing, are nearly exhausted, or have, as the American phrase has it, "given out," because there is none to give out at all. Lead, sulphur, and salt, are very scarce. Shoes, flannel, quinine, beef and butter, c

A father and daughter drowned. --The Rockingham Register, of the 1st inst., says: On Saturday last a man named Stater, living near Port Republic, in attempting to cross South River, on horseback with his daughter, who was behind him, the horse fell and precipitated them both into the river. The father got out, and ran down to catch his daughter, when she seized him and dragged him into the current, and both were drowned.

Resignation of Gen. Scott. We publish this morning a full confirmation of the report of Gen. Scott's retirement from active service, with the superannuated traitor's letter and address on the occasion, and President Lincoln's reply. The reason alleged for this step is increasing infirmity, and a thoroughly diseased carcase, which, even in its last throes, emits and odor of hatred and vituperation against its native South. Yet he does not give up his hold upon the Federal Treasury, and doubtless the whole plan was pre-arranged. His pay goes on, as a condition of getting him out of the way; and, we infer, the Federal Administration was glad enough to be rid of him on these terms. It is said that Scott will pass the brief remainder of his existence in Europe which we deem a prudent course on his part, for he will thus place himself beyond the reach of those towards whom he has, in his declining days, shown such base ingratitude. Gen. McClellan takes Gen. Scott's position,

nkees, have, on many occasions, expressed the profoundest gratitude for the favors alluded to. This is no unpleasant feature in the war that now distracts the country. These well-bred and appreciative sons of the South, where a spirit of whole-souled generosity and reciprocal kindness is a part of home culture, are anxious to fight in Virginia and for Virginia, to defend her homes and altars; and, fighting within her ample borders, they are of course defending and protecting the whole great South from the invasion of Northern slaves and hirelings. The glorious empire of the South, that now stands in the front rank on the vast battlefield, and sustained in the contest by lionhearted and indomitable men from all parts of the Southern country, are justly proud of her grand old hills; her inexhaustible rivers of untold wealth, her extensive grain fields and granaries, her stupendous works of nature, her magnificent rivers, her deep inlets from the ocean, and her splendid sea-coast;
