2. --A special to the Appeal gives news from the Chicago Times or the 28th ult. At Indianapolis. Gen. Haskell has issued an order declaring that editors of newspapers, or other persons, endeavoring to bring the Government's war policy into disrepute, will violate Gen. Burnside's death order, and will be treated accordingly. Six hundred infantry and seven hundred cavalry have gone into Brown county to make arrests. At Cincinnati, naval officers from below say that Vicksburg will not be attacked, but instead, the levees will be cut and other mischief done, with the view of rendering the country below Helena untenable. At Cairo, Gen. Jeff Thompson, with 2,500 men, attacked Cape Girardeau, but withdrew with the loss of fifty killed. The Federal loss is small — McNeill commanding. The month of Arkansas and White river are connected by a canal. Grant's headquarters are at New Carthage. Important movements are afoot. Over 3,000 males and females are oath-bound.

ol. Jacob, in Sunday's fight with the rebels Clarke and Chenault, at Horseshoe Bottom Narrows, on the Cumberland, lost forty-two men, including three officers. Chenault and several other rebel officers and ninety-eight of their men were killed, and three taken prisoners. Col. J. H. Morgan, commanding 4,000 men, is still on the south side of the Cumberland. His proposed raid into Kentucky has been defeated. The Cumberland is falling, with five feet of water on the shoals. Cape Girardeau, May 15.--Gen. McNeil was wounded in the hip this morning, by accidental discharge of the pistol of one of his aids. The wound is not serious, but it will prevent his taking the field for several weeks. The Conscription Law.--Stanton has decided that the acceptance of $300 in lien of service is pernicious and not mandatory; that he is not a national treasurer, and has no time to hunt up substitutes. The President concurs, and the clause selling exemptions at $300 will be practical

ng in the surf, and Major-Gen. George B. McClellan and several others, bathing at the same time, were in imminent peril from the heavy undertow. Hurlburt's latest order is that the penalty of banishment from Memphis will not be enforced upon widows and orphans, persons of either sex above 50 years of age, or persons dependent for their livelihood upon their actual daily labor. Last Saturday twelve guerillas from Bloomfield, Mo., attacked a Government train of thirty wagons from Cape Girardeau, killed nine and wounded six drivers, destroying the entire train, capturing a supply of arms, taking off the horses, and escaping. The leaders of the band had recently had their houses burned by Union soldiers. In Kansas the Sioux Indians are desperate, and no white person is safe. They have destroyed several steamers. The burning of the steamer Ruth, at Island No.1, is attributed to "rebel" incendiarism. Thirty lives were lost, including several paymasters, with $2,600,000

oats lately burned at New Orleans belonged to the Government, and were valued at $250,000. The fire was the work of an incendiary. A dispatch from St. Louis, dated June 5, represents the Confederates as very active in the neighborhood of Cape Girardeau. On the night of the 2d two hundred guerillas were in camp near Pittson, at a mill, grinding corn. A force of guerillas is reported on Cave Island, and another band at Doneghan. Col. Rogers, commanding at Cape Girardnan, thinks the movemen1862 and 1863, to four millions per day in 1864. A message from Capt. Ewing, at Bloomfield, says the guerillas destroyed the telegraph line near Charleston, and swore they intended to keep it down. A dispatch from Col. Rogers, dated Cape Girardeau, June 3, says: "The whole company of guerillas crossed the river and swamp, and were within eight miles of here last night. They have cut the telegraph line to New Madrid." The presence of these bands of guerillas is accounted for by t

trains loaded with supplies for Sherman's army. Two days later two other freight trains, also loaded with supplies, were captured by the Confederates near Resaca. We have nothing to report from Sherman. Our last intelligence, it will be remembered, was that Hooker's corps captured the strong position occupied by the Confederates on Lost Mountain, but was subsequently compelled to abandon it. From Arenas. A telegram from St. Louis states that all the military posts between Cape Girardeau and Little Rock have been abandoned, and that the Confederates have regained all but a small portion of Arkansas. Lincoln's Foreign policy. In the Yankee House of Representatives, on Monday, Mr Davis, of Md., from the Committee on Foreign Relations, introduced the following resolution.

probably await the developments of the enemy. Shelby's advance is in Southeast Missouri, but nothing definite is known in regard to his designs. St. Louis, September 16.--Reliable information received here reports that General Price crossed the Arkansas river at Dardanelle, about half way between Little Rock and Fort Smith, on the 8th, with five thousand cavalry, evidently destined for Missouri. Shelby's movements in Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri seemed to be aimed at Cape Girardeau, while Price probably strikes at Springfield. These places are well fortified, and have garrisons strong enough to repel any attack. The New York State Democratic Convention. The New York State Democratic Convention was in session at Albany, on Thursday last, passed resolutions ratifying the Chicago nomination and eulogizing McClellan. The following is the first of the series of resolutions: Resolved, That the Democracy of New York, through their representatives in conve

A telegram, dated at St. Louis on the 16th instant, says: Reliable information has been received here that General Price crossed the Arkansas river at Dardanelle, about half way between Little Rock and Fort Smith, on the 8th instant, with five thousand cavalry, evidently destined for Missouri. Shelby's movements in Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri seemed to be aimed at Cape Girardeau, while Price will probably strike at Springfield. Both places are well fortified, and have garrisons strong enough to repel any attack. General A. J. Smith's advance arrived at Sulphur Springs, about twenty miles below here, to- day, where they go into camp, probably to await the developments of the enemy. Shelby's advance is in Southeast Missouri, but nothing definite is known in regard to his designs. Miscellaneous. The New York Democratic State Convention, on the 1

by's designs are not yet developed. General Ewing, commandant of the district of St. Louis, took a brigade of A. J. Smith's troops down last night, and otherwise prepared to meet the enemy. Pilot Knob is well fortified and garrisoned. Cape Girardeau, on the river, can stand a sledge; and the only damage the rebels can do is temporarily to cut the Iron Mountain railroad. When Price crossed the Arkansas river some days since, at least a part of his forces moved towards Batesville, evicentrating to aid in the movement of the column now in the southeast, doubtless under Shelby, who has some six or eight thousand men. Reports are circulating to-night that part of the force which occupied Fredericktown yesterday captured Cape Girardeau to-day; but they are very doubtful. The enemy may be demonstrating in that direction, but the post is too strong to be taken by cavalry. Military preparations here are very active, and troops are already moving southward. The blacks

ce will probably be called into the field. Pilot Knob has been evacuated, and the troops have fallen back to Mineral Point, where General Ewing has three thousand infantry of General Smith's command. General Price will soon unite with General Shelby. Their combined strength is from ten to twenty thousand men, with sixteen pieces of artillery.--Their advance reached Farmington, twenty miles northeast of Pilot Knob, yesterday. There is no information of the reported capture of Cape Girardeau. Preparations for offensive and defensive movements continue. Another and later dispatch from St. Louis says: Official information still puts Price's main force at Fredericktown, with the advance at Farmington, St. Francis county. The main body is estimated at from ten to twelve thousand strong, principally cavalry. The advance, about four thousand, are mounted. Light attacks were made on Pilot Knob and Ironton yesterday, which were easily repulsed. It now appears that Pi
