The humbug of aeutralit j Ret oa foot some ' Uvr.nih Riro bv the lrieud-- i of Lincoln ia Keo- - tucsy w about to tr xplod?. It was known - from tbe begiuuiog tbat it was a cheat and a " fiawd upoa tbe people of tbat gallant SUte, - BDd as o deeignHl. It was kuown tbat it could not last a ttrrat while, tut if it could be palmed ofT upon the people, even for a limited period, it might po-- U ly, under the active exertions of it.flurutial leaders, bring the State to an active mpport of the Wash- ington dynasty in its war of subjugation Bgainrt the South. This - was all tbat was eim-- d at and hoped for by the unprincipled "' contrivers of tbe miserable trick. Since the auccessea of ibe Southern arms, and the con- sequent prolongation of the war, unless tbe "North will conclude a peace on terms of Southern recognition, it is becoming appar- ent that the trick will not last mnch longer. Day by day, the iapid development of events ia bringing the people of Kentucky to a real- izing sense of tbe true issue, which must come at last, whether they will continue with the North or join the South in iU noble and heroic struggle for liberty. In view of . the rapid approach of this inevitable issue, we see the contrivers of the neutrality cheat using their ntmoet exertions to avoid the consequences of the attempted swindle. The Louisville Journal, tbe mercenary organ l th, Lincoln dcDotistn in Kentucky .was the Ajax of the neutrality fraud. It ia as keen in perception as it ia wanting in principle. To serve its master at Washington, and to save itself fi-o- tne overwneimiug uig" " "-- " would attend the exposnie of its attempted fraoJ npou the people, it i engaged in an ar ' daous tff'rft to precipitate an armed collision between Tennessee and Kentucky, as States Its whole energy is being expended for the accomplishment of this end. lhei is no measure of denunciation which it does 5 not, from day to day, utter against our State and oar oeoule. There is no charge calca lated to irritate and embitter Kentuckians tow&rds Teunesseans which it does not trump nn and elaborate. Measured by its standard Tennessee i the head and front of all the crimes in the political decalogue. If this or- gan of Lincoln caa bring on an armed con- flict between Kentucky and Tennessee, it 't l r irk nni t Kntnckv. Hopes mereuy, ui t"uirc, - - .nd thn. throw the State into the arms of the Washington leave the humbug of neutrality high and dry among tne wings the nast. and then go forward in the war up on the South, and its own and the liberties and institutions of tbe South. In this base and infamous programme, how ever, the Journal and its willing or mistaken followers are mistaken. Tennessee is willing for the neutrality humbug to play itself out. She will not aid tbe enemies of tbe South and of Constitutional liberty to foist a cheat up- on the people of Kentucky through aa infa- mous scheme to embroil the two States in a concerning them as Stales. war for reasons We recognl-- e in Kentucky the same right we determine which side fhe have exercised, to will take in tbe great etruggle now pendiDg for civil liberty. We desire this ine fairly presented to ber people. If tbey decide to go with the North, then they areas macb and fuUy our enemies as are the people of Massa-chnset- ts or Michigan. We will meet them as each on any fild turn may be chosen. We Kentucky either for on are not dependent natural or social and political existence, ner people and we have been friends and companions in the past. We wonld like to be at the sacrifice of all be still ; but cannot tbat we hold sacred. . We have not and will not seek to interfere with the choice which Kentucky is compelled to mate. e her to be free in ber choice. If she prefer to civil freedom, let her the chains of slavery them as the madman pat them on and wear wears bis manacles. Whilst we have never thougbt Kentucky would consent to bow to the sceptre of an irrepressible military des- pot we have certainly never desired to abridge her freedom by interfering with ner right to do so if she chose. . We now tell the Journal and all other abo- lition friends of Lincoln that Tennessee will t intprfere with the assumed neutrality of p...v But so Boon as Kentucky begins to fizht forincoln, Tennessee will make no distinction between ner ana oj uu, t.T 4h .amp canse. If a state of ...... v. n. xists In Missouri, should inuigs " . nnfortuoately prevail at any ti me in Ken-inr- t- Tennessee, as she haa done in the case of Missouri, will give assistance to ber friends and will fight with and for those who are struggling for the perpetuation of the liberty bequeathed to us by the fathers of 16. No amount of finesse, denunciation or trickery can change this fact, and tbe Journal may a? well make up its mind to it first as last. Another Ifnt for Federal Judges. In March last Colonel Van Dorn, of the Confederate Army, captured several hundred FederalMldiera in Matagorda Bay, Texas. On their surrender tbey were required to take an oath not to serve against the Confed- erate Suites, which they took, and were re- leased. They were conveyed to Fort Ham- ilton, New Toik, and are now there in the United States service as regular soldiers. A few days ago 200 of them sued out a writ of labmt corpui with a view of being discharged, alleging that their oath absolves them from whatever service they owed to the Govern- ment. Tbe writ was duly served upon tbe officer in charge of Fort Hamilton, who, catching glance at the formidable array of names, declined to have anything to do with it. The writ was consequently returned unsatisfied. Counsel haa since written to the Secretary of War upon tte subject, but as yet has received no answer. Tbos the difficulties of the Fed- erals conseqaent upon their refusal to recog- nize as as belli geranU, flock thick opon "- - ' them. . . .

Letter from Congressman Ely. ' Richmond, Va., July 24, 1861.: I was taken prisoner at the recent awfnl carnage which took place on the 21st. near tne battle-groun- d at Manassas Junction or more properly between that place and Ceo- - treville by a booth Carolina regiment, while visiting tbe scene in company with United States Senator Foster, of Connecticut. . Fiye hundred aud ninety-fou- r prisoners of war were taken by the Confederates, and proba- bly many more. We are ia Richmond, hav ing arrived last evening, and are in prison in a tobacco warehouse. The kindness and courtesy of tbe military officers are unexcep tionable, ana 1 leel assured that especial kindness and attention to the wants and pri- vations of their prisoners who have unfortu- nately fallen into our bands will be extended to them. I have no opportunity to detail the circumstances of my own capture at this time, but am desirous that yon Bbould make kuown the names of the gentlemen belonging to the Thirteenth regiment (Cot. Quimby's) who have been taken prisoners of war. and who now surround me as I write.. I am un- able to learn from thb privates here whether any of the officers of the Thirteenth regiment were wounded or not. I conclude they were not taken prisoners, otherwise they wonld have been here. . I have no paper to make further recitals, and I will here close. I send this brief communication enclosed in a letter addressed to Mrs. Ely. Alfred Ely. Mobb Particulars or the Capture op the Lincoln Stkamer EquAUTT. We have be- fore narrated a portion of tbe particulars at- tending tbe capture of tbe Lincoln steamer Equality by Capt. J. M. Irwin. It seems there were seven men engaged in it, and after assuming command at Cairo, they made double-quic- k time to Columbus. Once arriv- ed there, five of tbe captors mounted their horses and rod into tbe town to lookout tor tbe gun boats tbey expected would pursue them, and while they were abseut Captain Irwin,- - who remained on board, saw tbe smoke ot the Conestoga and Lexington arouud the bend, and at once started ont, leaving bis companions on shore. - Tbe Equality bad got witbin about ten miles of New Madrid when ber fuel gave out, and she was in a fair way of b-- ing re cat tared, when tbe Grampus, Capt. Marsh Miller, met her. and learning the circumstances, at once took ber in tow, and landed her under the guns of the batteries at New Madrid. Tbe pursuing boats came within sight of New Madrid, when tbey turned about and started for Cairo. Tbe names of the gentlemen, most ot whom toll owed tbe Equality to New Madrid, be sides Capt. Irwin, are Messrs. Clark, Stew art, Finley, Loalman, and two others. Tbe Equality is now employed by Gen. Pillow in conveying dispatches, etc The Conestoga is said to be a boat of considerable speed, but as ber huge wheel astern is unprotected, one well-directe- d shot would disable her com pletely. Memphis Avalincht. ' ; -- -. Exploits of Capt. Marsh Miller. Capt. Marhb Miller, of the Government steamer Grampus, formerly a tow-boa- t, and one of tbe tautest on toe river, is malting nimseu la- - mous by his daring exploits in reconnottenng Cairo and Bird's Point. A few nights since, learning tbat General Prentiss Lad dispatched eighty-on- e guns to Milburn, fourteen miles above Columbus, for the use of some Union men in that section, and ascertaining their whereabouts, be proceeded tbitber with bis boat, and succeeded in obtaining possession of every one of them. They were taken to New Madrid, and we understand are now in jKwuesMou ui luu isomnern uuards. It IS aothiog unusual to Capt. Miller to take his boat within sight of Cairo, blow her whistle as it inviting the gun-boa- ts tiere to pursue Lim, and, after remaining there awhile,' to slowly start down tbe river.

From Gore's (Liverpool) General Advertiser, 22d. Every steamer from America brings us tidings which forbid ua to anticipate an early termination ot the war that is now being waged in earnest If we hear by and by of some great battle bringing victory to tbe North, neither one great victory nor a dozen great victories would subjugate the South. If we hear of a great Southern victory tbe North will not . withdraw from the contest while smarting . under the hu- miliation of defeat. ' ' No credence should, therefore, be given to the pacific rumors which are said to be afloat in London. Arrangements have un- fortunately been made by both sides for a long and desperate struggle, aut there 19 nothing fresh to be said on the subject ex cept tbat the time for. tall talk has pas3Pd, and tbe time tor action nas arrivea.. tsai tbe sinews of war are wanted. - And now that parties residing in' the Northern part of the former United States,.', more or less intimately connected with eminent bankers in London and the Continent, are coming here as agents of the Washington Govern- ment to induce English capitalists to take a part, of the modest little loaa of $500,- - 000,000, or 100,000.000, lately authorised by the Northern Congress, it may not tie amiss to see what sort of security is, or can be, offered for the confidence expected from the people of England by a Govern- ment which has always discussed in a nar- row and selfish spirit every measure pro-- , posed by European powers for mitigating tbe horrors or war, suppressing tne slave trade, and emancipating commerce and navi- gation, from the trammels of pro- tective duties. We are ofiered in the first place the securi- ty of a Government, which is not the de facto Government of all tbe territories in whose name the loan is to be negotiated. - Tbe Congress authorizing the loan represents only a portion ot tbe Republic, wbich was tbe United States. Here, therefore, is a really just ground for repudiation of the loan, if the North should succeed in conquer- ing the South. A Congress, in wbich the South would be represented, would not rati- fy a loan made expressly to subjugate it The representatives ot the South might say "the burden of our own indebtedness, incurred purely for. the purpose of defense, is quite, enough for us to bear." If, bow-eve- r, as we anticipate, tb North shall at last be compelled to acknowledge tbe inde- pendence ot tbe South, it may . say that the war was negotiated in tbe name of thirty-fou- r States, and cannot properly belong to a less- er number. .Then it is obvious that it the South can maintain its independence the West may go in for secession next, aud suc- ceed as well as the South. The process of diainiergration once com- menced, who shall say where it is to stop ? Supposing, however, no repudiatfon be re- sorted to, and tbat no further secessions are attempted, it may be well to consider if the North will have the ability, even if it has the will, to bear the burden of so great a debt as will be created by this wealth destroying war. It is neither a great manufacturing country nor a great exportiag couutry of raw produce. Its exports ot manufactured goods and produce have not exceeded sixty millions sterling during tbe last seven years, while the exports ot the South in cot too, to- bacco aid rice reach not much lees than fifty millions sterling per annum. It must also be borne in mind that the North in losing tbe South would be greatly impoverished, for it would thereby lose one ot its best customers for its breadstnffs, its manufactures and its imported goods, on wbich its revenue ia chit fly based ; aud as a heavy income tax would not be tolerated, it is quite clear that no satisfactory security can be offered to European capitalists tor this United Slates war loan. The Blockade. It is argued in some quarters that the pol- icy of the Government In proclaiming a block- ade of the Southern ports ot tbe Union, con- tained within itself tbe germs of difficulties which it were desirable to avoid. A block- ade, it is said, is a measure in which foreign nations are concerned. They can inquire in- to it, and have a right to insist that it shall be" executed in a truly effective manner by a sufficient naval force before the entrance to every port - ( If, instead of a blockade,' the President's proclamation had simply declared tbe ports of the rebellious region to be closed and no longer pot la ol entry, this difficulty would have been avoided. Every nation has a right to indicate what porta shall be . accessible to commerce, and, on proper notice, may close and open them as its own necessities shall re- quire. No foreign .Power has any right to ask whether a port, which the National Gov- ernment has declared to be closed, is or is sot fully blackaded, nor any right to complain of n x ? a l tbe seizure ana conuscauon oi vesseia at- tempting to enter such a port It is a matter of domestic policy with wbich foreigners have no concern. - ' This would appear to be the view of Con- gress, which has just enacted a law for clos- ing the ports of tbe whole rebellions sea coast. The President will, we presume, soon issue the necessary proclamation enforcing this law: and then tbe animated discussions of the tvreien journals on tbe subject of tbe blockade and all tbe kindred topics will be uperogatory.

Soon after the first appearance here, on the 1st of July, of the great comet, the astrono mers unanimously announced, as the result of their calculations respecting its orbit,' tbat it mast have been a bright and conspicuous object to eyes in the Southern hemisphere in the month of June. This prediction has been confirmed by a letter from Dr. Moeta, Direc- tor ot the Chilian National Observatory at Santiago, dated June 17, wh?ruiu he states tbat a ''brilliant comet" n.i.i been visible there since tbe beginning ol June. A com-naris- on of i s place in tbe heavens, as there Observed, shows that it was then following the very path which our astaonomera pre- dicted it bad done, after it became visible here. The prediction with regard to its brilliancy and course among tbe Southern stars has been triumphantly sustained. Bos- ton Courier. General Nathaniel Lton. Brigadier-Gener- al Lyon, late commander of the Missou- ri volunteers, and slain at the late battle near Springfield, gratuated at West Point in 1841, and sines continued in the army, hold- ing the commission of Captain in the Second Infantry. He was in tbe wars of Florida, Texas, California, Oregon, and Kansas. ' In Mexico he accompanied Gen. Scott's division, and was breveted in 1847 for gallant and meritorous conduct in the battles of Contre- - ras andCburubusco. He was wounded at tbe Belen Gate of tbe city of Mexico, Sep- tember 13, 1847.' Hia experience well fitted him for a campaign such as that of Missouri; and he died at the age of forty-tw- o, a thor- ough and accomplished soldier. ' s : Gen.

We find the following in the St. Lonis Re publican of Saturday : Tbe Pacific train arrived last .night about ten o'clock, bringing a number of passengers from Eolla. From one of these a gentleman of intelli gence and entire coolness we learn many interesting facts in connection with tbe great battle at tepnngtjeia. In the first place, as the most important Dolnt. and to correct many falsehoods design edly put in circulation, it is proper to state tbat lien, oeigei encamped on . rnursaay night seventeen miles southwest ot Bolla, and that Col. Wyman had selected his camp, in anticipation of his march, six miles from Rolla, and there he remained last night. The retreat from bpnngneia was conduct ed in good order, and so continued np to the hour when Seigel was heard from. Rumors of an apprehended attack bad been started, but they could not be traced to any credible source, and waa wholly unreliable. . Tbe invaaing troops were at bpringbeld, and there they were forced to remain, their whole baggage train having been destroyed by tbe action of GenSeigel in the first place, who fired it tbey themselves completing the work afterwards rather than suffer it to fall into tbe hands of the Union forces. " The battle was a bloody one. According to the estimate of our informant, who derived his information from a very reliable source, the Union troops sunerea a loss ot 600 killed and 1,000 wounded. Gen. Seigel is bringing with him 200 of the wounded, and the re- mainder were left in the churches and other public buildings at Springfield. On the side of tbe invaders tbe loes is put down at 2,000 killed and 3,000 wounded. Tbe artillery did tremendous havoc among them. But tbe most sanguinary part of the fiht was be- tween a MisMPsippi Regiment and the Kansas Regiment. Tbe returns of tbe mortality in the Kansas Regiment already published, look bad enonerb, but it is stated tbat of tbe Mis sissippi Regiment not more than forty an swered to roil can alter mat iaia day. b or all essential purposes in the number killed and wonnded in the destruction of all the baggage train of the invaders the victory was substantial one to tbe Union army. As stated yesterday, the body ot General Lyon was buried on Col. Phelps's farm, near SpriDgfield. Mrs. Phelps herself preparing everything necessary to this laH office of tbe dead. Afterwards, apprehending violence for tbe part she had taken in this sad duty, she prepared to leave her residence, but was dissuaded trom it ty tnoee around her. .. Gen, Price was In command of the invad ers at Springfield. Ue had issued a Procla mation, fashioned arter tbat of Pillow, tbe prominent feature of which is, that he will give no quarter. " j Large nnmbera of citizens of Springfield were fleeing in this direction, and will soon be here. . . ... .. Gen. Seigel 's train is composed of between 700 and 800 wagons,' ail of which, no doubt, will reach Rolla in safety. From Rolla. Tbe men composing 1 the Seventh Regiment were paid off at Rolla day before yesterday, in part, if not the whole. borne dissatisfaction was manifested by a por tion of the subordinate officers, and one of them sergeant Ammull waa ordered to the guard-hous-e. He found time to arm him self, and retused to be taken. Capt. Haw- kins, of the Seventh Regiment, on approach ing him, received a dangerous wound in the shoulder, making amputation of the arm nec- essary.. His recovery is doubtful. . Tbe of fender was secured. ; .r ... ' From Pilot Knob. Passengers on tbe train from Pilot ivnoo last evening, represent eve rything quiet in tbat. locality. r It was re- ported that tbe secession forces, for a few davs oast encamped in tbe vicinity, bad with drawn, tbe withdrawal being hastened by the news of the battle at bpnngaeia. two regv ments left Pilot Knob yesterday, one for rFredericktown and the other for Greenville.

could not last a ttrrat while, tut if it couldbe palmed ofT upon the people, even for a

limited period, it might po-- U ly, under the

active exertions of it.flurutial leaders, bring

the State to an active mpport of the Wash-

ington dynasty in its war of subjugation

Bgainrt the South. This - was all tbat was

eim-- d at and hoped for by the unprincipled"' contrivers of tbe miserable trick. Since the

auccessea of ibe Southern arms, and the con-

sequent prolongation of the war, unless tbe

"North will conclude a peace on terms of

Southern recognition, it is becoming appar-

ent that the trick will not last mnch longer.

Day by day, the iapid development of events

ia bringing the people of Kentucky to a real-

izing sense of tbe true issue, which mustcome at last, whether they will continuewith the North or join the South in iU nobleand heroic struggle for liberty. In view of

. the rapid approach of this inevitable issue, we

see the contrivers of the neutrality cheatusing their ntmoet exertions to avoid theconsequences of the attempted swindle.

The Louisville Journal, tbe mercenary organl th, Lincoln dcDotistn in Kentucky .was the

Ajax of the neutrality fraud. It ia as keen in

perception as it ia wanting in principle. To

serve its master at Washington, and to save

between Tennessee and Kentucky, as States

Its whole energy is being expended for

the accomplishment of this end. lheiis no measure of denunciation which it does

5 not, from day to day, utter against our Stateand oar oeoule. There is no charge calca

lated to irritate and embitter Kentuckians

tow&rds Teunesseans which it does not trump

crimes in the political decalogue. If this or-

Washington leave the humbug of

neutrality high and dry among tne wings

the nast. and then go forward in the war up

on the South, and its own and the liberties

and institutions of tbe South.

In this base and infamous programme, how

ever, the Journal and its willing or mistaken

followers are mistaken. Tennessee is willing

for the neutrality humbug to play itself out.

She will not aid tbe enemies of tbe South and

of Constitutional liberty to foist a cheat up-

on the people of Kentucky through aa infa-

mous scheme to embroil the two States in aconcerning them as Stales.war for reasons

We recognl-- e in Kentucky the same right we

determine which side fhehave exercised, towill take in tbe great etruggle now pendiDg

for civil liberty. We desire this ine fairly

Another Ifnt for Federal Judges.In March last Colonel Van Dorn, of the

Confederate Army, captured several hundred

FederalMldiera in Matagorda Bay, Texas.

On their surrender tbey were required to

take an oath not to serve against the Confed-

erate Suites, which they took, and were re-

leased. They were conveyed to Fort Ham-

ilton, New Toik, and are now there in the

United States service as regular soldiers. A

few days ago 200 of them sued out a writ of

labmt corpui with a view of being discharged,

alleging that their oath absolves them from

whatever service they owed to the Govern-

ment.Tbe writ was duly served upon tbe officer

in charge of Fort Hamilton, who, catching

glance at the formidable array of names,

declined to have anything to do with it. The

writ was consequently returned unsatisfied.Counsel haa since written to the Secretary of

War upon tte subject, but as yet has received

no answer. Tbos the difficulties of the Fed-

erals conseqaent upon their refusal to recog-

Letter from Congressman Ely. '

Richmond, Va., July 24, 1861.:I was taken prisoner at the recent awfnl

carnage which took place on the 21st. neartne battle-groun- d at Manassas Junction ormore properly between that place and Ceo--treville by a booth Carolina regiment, whilevisiting tbe scene in company with UnitedStates Senator Foster, of Connecticut. . Fiyehundred aud ninety-fou- r prisoners of warwere taken by the Confederates, and proba-bly many more. We are ia Richmond, having arrived last evening, and are in prison ina tobacco warehouse. The kindness andcourtesy of tbe military officers are unexceptionable, ana 1 leel assured that especialkindness and attention to the wants and pri-vations of their prisoners who have unfortu-nately fallen into our bands will be extendedto them. I have no opportunity to detailthe circumstances of my own capture at thistime, but am desirous that yon Bbould makekuown the names of the gentlemen belongingto the Thirteenth regiment (Cot. Quimby's)who have been taken prisoners of war. andwho now surround me as I write.. I am un-able to learn from thb privates here whetherany of the officers of the Thirteenth regimentwere wounded or not. I conclude they werenot taken prisoners, otherwise they wonldhave been here. .

Mobb Particulars or the Capture op theLincoln Stkamer EquAUTT. We have be-

fore narrated a portion of tbe particulars at-tending tbe capture of tbe Lincoln steamerEquality by Capt. J. M. Irwin. It seemsthere were seven men engaged in it, and afterassuming command at Cairo, they madedouble-quic- k time to Columbus. Once arriv-ed there, five of tbe captors mounted theirhorses and rod into tbe town to lookout tortbe gun boats tbey expected would pursuethem, and while they were abseut CaptainIrwin,- - who remained on board, saw tbesmoke ot the Conestoga and Lexingtonarouud the bend, and at once started ont,leaving bis companions on shore. - TbeEquality bad got witbin about ten miles ofNew Madrid when ber fuel gave out, and shewas in a fair way of b-- ing re cat tared, whentbe Grampus, Capt. Marsh Miller, met her.and learning the circumstances, at once tookber in tow, and landed her under the guns ofthe batteries at New Madrid. Tbe pursuingboats came within sight of New Madrid,when tbey turned about and started for Cairo.Tbe names of the gentlemen, most ot whomtoll owed tbe Equality to New Madrid, besides Capt. Irwin, are Messrs. Clark, Stewart, Finley, Loalman, and two others. TbeEquality is now employed by Gen. Pillow inconveying dispatches, etc The Conestoga issaid to be a boat of considerable speed, butas ber huge wheel astern is unprotected, onewell-directe- d shot would disable her completely.

' .i; THE LOAN FOE THE WAK.

From Gore's (Liverpool) General Advertiser, 22d.

Every steamer from America brings ustidings which forbid ua to anticipate anearly termination ot the war that is nowbeing waged in earnest If we hear by andby of some great battle bringing victory totbe North, neither one great victory nor adozen great victories would subjugate theSouth. If we hear of a great Southernvictory tbe North will not . withdraw fromthe contest while smarting . under the hu-

miliation of defeat. ' '

No credence should, therefore, be givento the pacific rumors which are said to beafloat in London. Arrangements have un-

fortunately been made by both sides for along and desperate struggle, aut there 19

nothing fresh to be said on the subject except tbat the time for. tall talk has pas3Pd,and tbe time tor action nas arrivea.. tsaitbe sinews of war are wanted. - And nowthat parties residing in' the Northern partof the former United States,.', more or lessintimately connected with eminent bankersin London and the Continent, are cominghere as agents of the Washington Govern-ment to induce English capitalists to takea part, of the modest little loaa of $500,- -

000,000, or 100,000.000, lately authorisedby the Northern Congress, it may not tieamiss to see what sort of security is, orcan be, offered for the confidence expectedfrom the people of England by a Govern-ment which has always discussed in a nar-row and selfish spirit every measure pro--,posed by European powers for mitigatingtbe horrors or war, suppressing tne slavetrade, and emancipating commerce and navi-gation, from the trammels of pro-tective duties.

We are ofiered in the first place the securi-ty of a Government, which is not the de factoGovernment of all tbe territories in whosename the loan is to be negotiated. - TbeCongress authorizing the loan representsonly a portion ot tbe Republic, wbich wastbe United States. Here, therefore, is areally just ground for repudiation of theloan, if the North should succeed in conquer-ing the South. A Congress, in wbich theSouth would be represented, would not rati-fy a loan made expressly to subjugate it

The representatives ot the South mightsay "the burden of our own indebtedness,incurred purely for. the purpose of defense,is quite, enough for us to bear." If, bow-eve- r,

as we anticipate, tb North shall atlast be compelled to acknowledge tbe inde-pendence ot tbe South, it may . say that thewar was negotiated in tbe name of thirty-fou- r

States, and cannot properly belong to a less-

er number. .Then it is obvious that it theSouth can maintain its independence theWest may go in for secession next, aud suc-

ceed as well as the South.The process of diainiergration once com-

menced, who shall say where it is to stop ?Supposing, however, no repudiatfon be re-

sorted to, and tbat no further secessions areattempted, it may be well to consider if theNorth will have the ability, even if it has thewill, to bear the burden of so great a debt aswill be created by this wealth destroyingwar. It is neither a great manufacturingcountry nor a great exportiag couutry ofraw produce. Its exports ot manufacturedgoods and produce have not exceeded sixtymillions sterling during tbe last seven years,while the exports ot the South in cot too, to-

bacco aid rice reach not much lees than fiftymillions sterling per annum.

It must also be borne in mind that theNorth in losing tbe South would be greatlyimpoverished, for it would thereby lose oneot its best customers for its breadstnffs, itsmanufactures and its imported goods, onwbich its revenue ia chit fly based ; aud as aheavy income tax would not be tolerated, itis quite clear that no satisfactory securitycan be offered to European capitalists torthis United Slates war loan.

The Blockade.It is argued in some quarters that the pol-

icy of the Government In proclaiming a block-ade of the Southern ports ot tbe Union, con-tained within itself tbe germs of difficultieswhich it were desirable to avoid. A block-ade, it is said, is a measure in which foreignnations are concerned. They can inquire in-

to it, and have a right to insist that it shallbe" executed in a truly effective manner by asufficient naval force before the entrance toevery port - (

If, instead of a blockade,' the President'sproclamation had simply declared tbe portsof the rebellious region to be closed and nolonger pot la ol entry, this difficulty wouldhave been avoided. Every nation has a rightto indicate what porta shall be . accessible tocommerce, and, on proper notice, may closeand open them as its own necessities shall re-

quire. No foreign .Power has any right toask whether a port, which the National Gov-ernment has declared to be closed, is or is sotfully blackaded, nor any right to complain of

n x ? a ltbe seizure ana conuscauon oi vesseia at-tempting to enter such a port It is a matterof domestic policy with wbich foreigners haveno concern. - '

This would appear to be the view of Con-gress, which has just enacted a law for clos-ing the ports of tbe whole rebellions seacoast. The President will, we presume, soonissue the necessary proclamation enforcingthis law: and then tbe animated discussionsof the tvreien journals on tbe subject of tbeblockade and all tbe kindred topics will beuperogatory.

Aatruomlcal Prediction Verified.. Soon after the first appearance here, on the

1st of July, of the great comet, the astronomers unanimously announced, as the resultof their calculations respecting its orbit,' tbatit mast have been a bright and conspicuousobject to eyes in the Southern hemisphere inthe month of June. This prediction has beenconfirmed by a letter from Dr. Moeta, Direc-tor ot the Chilian National Observatory atSantiago, dated June 17, wh?ruiu he statestbat a ''brilliant comet" n.i.i been visiblethere since tbe beginning ol June. A com-naris- on

of i s place in tbe heavens, as thereObserved, shows that it was then followingthe very path which our astaonomera pre-dicted it bad done, after it became visiblehere. The prediction with regard to itsbrilliancy and course among tbe Southernstars has been triumphantly sustained. Bos-ton Courier.

General Nathaniel Lton. Brigadier-Gener- al

Lyon, late commander of the Missou-ri volunteers, and slain at the late battlenear Springfield, gratuated at West Point in1841, and sines continued in the army, hold-ing the commission of Captain in the SecondInfantry. He was in tbe wars of Florida,Texas, California, Oregon, and Kansas. ' InMexico he accompanied Gen. Scott's division,and was breveted in 1847 for gallant andmeritorous conduct in the battles of Contre- -ras andCburubusco. He was wounded attbe Belen Gate of tbe city of Mexico, Sep-tember 13, 1847.' Hia experience well fittedhim for a campaign such as that of Missouri;and he died at the age of forty-tw- o, a thor-ough and accomplished soldier. ' s :

Gen. Lyon was born in Ashford, Connec-ticut, the son of a respectable farmer.

. Tbe invaaing troops were at bpringbeld,and there they were forced to remain, theirwhole baggage train having been destroyedby tbe action of GenSeigel in the first place,who fired it tbey themselves completing thework afterwards rather than suffer it to fallinto tbe hands of the Union forces. "

The battle was a bloody one. Accordingto the estimate of our informant, who derivedhis information from a very reliable source,the Union troops sunerea a loss ot 600 killedand 1,000 wounded. Gen. Seigel is bringingwith him 200 of the wounded, and the re-

mainder were left in the churches and otherpublic buildings at Springfield. On the sideof tbe invaders tbe loes is put down at 2,000killed and 3,000 wounded. Tbe artillery didtremendous havoc among them. But tbemost sanguinary part of the fiht was be-

tween a MisMPsippi Regiment and the KansasRegiment. Tbe returns of tbe mortality inthe Kansas Regiment already published, lookbad enonerb, but it is stated tbat of tbe Mississippi Regiment not more than forty answered to roil can alter mat iaia day. b orall essential purposes in the number killedand wonnded in the destruction of all thebaggage train of the invaders the victorywas substantial one to tbe Union army.

As stated yesterday, the body ot GeneralLyon was buried on Col. Phelps's farm, nearSpriDgfield. Mrs. Phelps herself preparingeverything necessary to this laH office of tbedead. Afterwards, apprehending violencefor tbe part she had taken in this sad duty,she prepared to leave her residence, but wasdissuaded trom it ty tnoee around her... Gen, Price was In command of the invaders at Springfield. Ue had issued a Proclamation, fashioned arter tbat of Pillow, tbeprominent feature of which is, that he willgive no quarter. " j

Large nnmbera of citizens of Springfieldwere fleeing in this direction, and will soonbe here. . . ... ..

Gen. Seigel 's train is composed of between700 and 800 wagons,' ail of which, no doubt,will reach Rolla in safety.

From Rolla. Tbe men composing 1 theSeventh Regiment were paid off at Rolla daybefore yesterday, in part, if not the whole.borne dissatisfaction was manifested by a portion of the subordinate officers, and one ofthem sergeant Ammull waa ordered tothe guard-hous-e. He found time to arm himself, and retused to be taken. Capt. Haw-kins, of the Seventh Regiment, on approaching him, received a dangerous wound in theshoulder, making amputation of the arm nec-essary.. His recovery is doubtful. . Tbe offender was secured. ; .r ...

' From Pilot Knob. Passengers on tbe trainfrom Pilot ivnoo last evening, represent everything quiet in tbat. locality. r It was re-

ported that tbe secession forces, for a fewdavs oast encamped in tbe vicinity, bad withdrawn, tbe withdrawal being hastened by thenews of the battle at bpnngaeia. two regvments left Pilot Knob yesterday, one for

rFredericktown and the other for Greenville.The troops which left this city yesterday forSulphur Springs, as stated eUewbere, are intended lor Tlot fcaou, ! - )
