There is a story that Gen. Beauregard, in his anxiety to learn the plans of Gen. Scott previous to the battle of Bull Run, attached a wire to a telegraph of the Unionists which communicated with the Headquarters of the Department of the Potomac. The coating of this wire was of the color of dry leaves, or of a dead limb, not readily attracting notice. The early reports of the defeat mentioned that the rebels knew Gen. McDowell's programme beforehand. Perhaps it was in this way that they learned it, and that the final council of war, at midnight, was only one instant in reporting itself from one camp to another.--Independent.

Secession of the Indian nations.--The Galveston News, of the 25th of June, has the following intelligence from the Indian nations:-- Mr. J. A. Echols, Secretary of the Commissioners sent by the Texas Convention to the Indian nations, returned recently. He informs us that the Chickasaw Legislature passed an act of secession by a unanimous vote about the 1st inst. A convention was to be held by the Choctaws about the 14th inst. for the same purpose, and there is no doubt that that nation has also seceded. The Creek nation had a convention about the 12th of May, but they sat with closed doors, and their action is not therefore certainly known, but as delegates to the Southern Confederacy were immediately sent, no doubt is entertained that an act of secession was passed. Mr. Echols has brought to Austin the treaties that have been executed by commissioners on the part of Texas and the Chickasaw nation, with five wild tribes west of the civilized Indians, including the Texas Re

potism. It is almost impossible to realize, that in the United States, boasting itself as the freest and the most civilized of all nations, the most deliberate, inhuman, and atrocious plan should have been formed to degrade and enslave a free people of which there is any record in this or any other age. Who ever heard, even in despotic Europe, of an invading army travelling with thirty thousand handcuffs as a part of its equipments? yet more horrible.--A letter dated at Richmond on the 2d instant, shows up the diabolical purposes of the Northern hordes in a yet more repulsive light. The letter says:--Humanity shudders at the foul and brutal atrocities already committed on our citizens, and the yet fouler ones contemplated. The story of thirty thousand handcuffs is every word true. I have a man from Manassas who saw them, and the ropes with nooses to hang traitors. Heaven can never permit such fiends to trample laws, honor, and virtue in the dust. They can never succeed. Earth

atricidal hand has thus far been withheld by a merciful Providence. Let us again unite our prayers and efforts for the restoration of peace and good will between the Northern and the Southern Confederacies. With the sincere hope that we may be able to congratulate you at our approaching Convention in St. Louis upon this auspicious result, we remain yours fraternally, Wm. P. Munford, Joel B. Watkins, Wm. H. Gwathmey. reply. New York, May 14, 1861. gentlemen: Your letter of the 6th inst. has just reached me. Like every other document which comes from the South, there is in your letter a mix. ture of truth and error. For instance, you say, Through the distorting medium of the press there is a misunderstanding between the North and the South. Now, it is true that the press has distorted the truth in certain instances in the North--and entirely suppressed it in the South in every instance where it did not accord with the interest of slavery. But I cannot believe there is a

ic confidence in the Government and its financial administration, in the great struggle in which it is embarked for the Union and the Constitution, as the promptness with which the sum of five million dollars was advanced to the Secretary of the Treasury in New York on Tuesday last, in response to a call for that sum — on such liberal terms, too, in the face of the great loan of two hundred and fifty millions about to be authorized by Congress. It was after business hours on Monday, the 8th inst., that Secretary Chase sent the following telegraphic despatch to the Assistant Treasurer at New York:-- Treasury Department, July 8, 1861. John J. Cisco, New York, will issue six per cent. Treasury Notes at sixty days, to amount of five million dollars for five millions in coin. Please make arrangements forthwith. S. P. Chase. The despatch was received the following morning, and Mr. Cisco immediately called a meeting of the leading Bank officers and started a subscription, an

The position of the Confederates.--A correspondent of the N. O. Picayune, writing from Manassas on the 10th instant, says: There is not a single act of the Confederate States that could be so construed as to justify any reasonable man in coming to the conclusion that the South intended to take Washington. We have never claimed more than is embraced in the boundaries of the seceded States. That is the whole extent of our claim. Washington is situated in that part of the District of Columbia transferred by Maryland, and just as long as Maryland remains with the North, just so long we will refrain from any attack.

Our Zouaves at Bull Run. [Extract from a private letter from a Fire Zouave, now a prisoner of war.] Richmond, Va., Aug. 16, 1861. dear brother: Your welcome letter of the 3d came to hand on the 13th, by way of Louisville and Nashville. As I had written before, I have waited a few days, and have nothing new to write about. Please send a copy of that portion of my last letter relating to my capture to the colonel of my regiment, and state also that Capt. Downey, and forty-three non-commissioned officers and privates, are prisoners with me. I was very glad to know that you learned of my situation as soon as you did. It had worried me considerably, as I know it did you all until you heard from me. We hear all kinds of rumors here; some of them very extravagant: among others, that our regiment is disbanded, and that in the battle they broke, and ran at the first fire. To my own certain knowledge, they were broken and formed again three separate times, and held the hill and th

m the capital. Rumor named divers points as the future location of this department. The arrival, however, of a portion of the commander-in-chief's staff, followed by that of the commander-in-chief himself and workmen to put in operation the suspended foundry at this place, and to establish manufactories of munitions of war and military equipments, settled the question. Booneville, however, you will see, was destined to enjoy these honors for but a brief period. On Friday morning, the 14th inst., messengers were sent in all directions urging those who had volunteered as State Guards, as well as all armed citizens, to assemble forthwith, at this point. On the same day troops began to arrive, and an encampment was formed four and a half miles east of Booneville, on the bluffs on the south side of the Missouri River. The arrival of troops continued through Saturday and Sunday. On Monday morning, the 17th, at which time the battle occurred, there were in the camp probably 3,500 me
