Kingston (Canada) (search for this): article 28
Menacing Hostility of the English Government and Press towards the United States. --The New York Herald, of Friday last, has an editorial with the above caption, of which the following is the conclusion: We learn by this arrival that Kingston, in Canada, is to be made a naval as well as a military station, and that a naval force is to be stationed on the lakes. Does this look like neutrality? We further learn that the English Government has sent out reinforcements to her already immense fleet upon our coast, numbering some thirty ships--two of them ships of the line, 90 guns; several of them frigates, and most of them armed with the powerful Armstrong cannon. The whole number of guns is now about 500--a force, considering the quality of the ships and armament, more than sufficient to break the blockade in every port, and sink our whole fleet. Thanks to the imbecility of the Navy Department at Washington. Then there is the powerful French squadron here, which we are as

outing party to-day and when about a mile beyond Bailey's Cross Roads, was fired upon-by a man concealed in the woods, the ball passing through his cap. Another Court martial. Alexandria, Aug. 16 --The trial by court martial of Col. McCaun, of the 37th New York regiment, for ungentlemanly and unofficer-like conduct, commenced this morning. The charge was preferred by the Lieutenant of the Provost Marshal's Guard at Washington. General Keyes is President of the Court. From Cairo. Cairo, August 15 --Since the withdrawal of the Eighteenth Regiment from the vicinity of Charleston, Missouri, the Confederates have torn up the track and destroyed the culverts on the Cairo and Fulton Railroad. Nothing has been heard from General Pillow's command to day. The Government steamers Graham and Empress arrived here to-day with supplies. Privateer Streamers reported. Boston, August 16 --The whaler Jere Swift, at New Bedford, last from Pernambuco, rep

amine the case as well as we are able. Nine millions of people demand, for some cause or other, the right, so clearly announced, and once fought for, of governing themselves. It is denied; but the diversity and weakness of the reasons for the denial afford clear proofs of the perplexity of a people conscious of doing a dishonest thing.--One great statesman, for instance, wishing to drink at the same moment "at the fountain and mouth of the Nile," asks how the North can give up the Gulf of Mexico to a foreign Power? He would have the great lakes of the North and the great Gulf of the South; and why not the St. Lawrence and Amazon as well? This is that selfish view of the case, which supposes that all other nations are forever to be penned up in their present limits, while the States are to spread over and own illimitable territory. Another urges as a reason for war, the "stolen" forts, &c; forgetting that the North retains, in forts, custom-houses, mints, and other public buil

ens to obey the rules it has been deemed necessary to establish, in order to insure and preserve the public peace. The civil law will remain in force, and military authority only be used when the civil law proves inadequate to maintain the public safety. Any violation of this order will be followed by prompt punishment, regardless of persons or positions. The Evening Missourian and Bulletin, two secession papers, have been suppressed. The reports that Gen. Hardee is marching on Pilot Knob, and of the destruction of the bridges on the Iron Mountain Railroad, prove to be false. The houses of two prominent Secessionists were searched to day, by order of the Provost Marshal, but nothing of a rebellious character was found in them. General Freemont has ordered the re-organization of the United States Reserve Corps in St. Louis, to comprise five regiments of infantry, with a reserve of two companies to each, two squadrons of cavalry, and two batteries of light artillery

News from Missouri. --We are informed that a private dispatch was received in this city on Saturday from a very reliable source in Arkansas, which states that at the recent battle near Springfield, Missouri, the Confederates lost, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, about one thousand, and the Federals lost twenty-five hundred in killed, wounded, and prisoners. General Lyon was killed. Six cannon were taken, besides a large amount of stores, wagons, &c., &c. The Federal rout was complete. Generals McCulloch and Price were in hot pursuit of the enemy, and they entertained confident hopes of capturing the whole of General Siegel's command.--Generals Hardee and Jeff. Thompson are moving to the northeast with a view of cutting off General Siegel's retreat towards St Louis.
Tilghman (search for this): article 16
Prospect of a revolution in Maryland. --A special dispatch from Washington to the New York Herald says: The efforts of the rebels to gather Maryland into the Secession fold have not been abandoned. It was noticed some weeks ago that a considerable rebel force had been concentrated in the upper part of Accomac county, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. It appears that there are about fifteen hundred or two thousand rebels there under arms. General Tilghman, of Talbot county, Maryland, who was deposed from his militia rank last spring by Governor Hicks, and subsequently restored by the State Legislature, is organizing the disunionists in the lower counties of Maryland. He is about to proceed to Accomac, take command of the Virginia forces there, and march them up into the middle of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, as the nucleus for the formation of a rebel army there, which shall, if it can do nothing else, control the elections in the fall so as to secure a disunion majori

Dismissed. --Jas. St. Clair and B. McCarthy were acquitted before the Mayor, Saturday, of drunkenness and disorderly conduct in the streets. Also, Andrew J. Biffo and Edward Honfrere, for fighting in Thos. J. Briggs' saloon. John Ryan, drunk, and trespassing on Wm. H. Grant, was also dismissed; also, Jno Ballardy, drunk, and raising a muss in the street; also, C. C. Tinsley, owner of a vicious dog.

and Feathers" managed to scramble off with a vast share of glory from the Mexican war, and became Lieutenant-General, which never consoled him, however, for the election of Taylor to the Presidency, or for his own defeat when running for that office! Of late years, it has been fashionable with the Lieutenant-General, whom his devotees describe as the great General of the age, compared with whom Napoleon and Washington were small potatoes, and Marshal Pelissier, old General Hess and Count Todleben, mere farthing rushlights, to play the part of the Great Pacificator. He has been solicitous to have it understood that Mars is capable of being pacific and beneficent; that terrific and annihilating as Wingfield is, when fairly roused, yet the very consciousness of his awful powers of destructiveness makes him most reluctant to put them in exercise. Consequently, on various occasions, he has gone about the country, now to Maine and now to California, like an amiable lion, with an oliv

year 1835 was named for the day of meeting, when, as "Old Davy" expressed it, they were to make their Christmas dinner off the hump of a buffalo. McCullough again arrived too late, and finding the party gone, he proceeded on by himself to the river Brazos, where he was taken sick, and he did not recover until after the fall of the Alamo. McCullough's disappointment was very great at not being able to join the gallant band of patriots; but it afterwards proved very fortunate for him, for Col. Travis, after having sustained a siege of thirteen days, with only 180 Texans against Santa Anna's army, fell with his brave little band, after having killed 900 of the enemy. McCullough, on joining the Texan army under Gen. Sam Houston, was assigned to the artillery, and made captain of a gun. He served gallantly at the battle of San Jacinto, where Santa Anna was taken prisoner, and his army of 1,500 men killed or taken prisoners. McCullough afterwards settled in Gonzales county, Texas, a
