To prevent these gay crafts froo running the blockade in this style, a Cincinnati paper proposes the appointment r n Inspector of Petticoats to search for contraband articles.

Life ia a beawtifal light, in which .not "J" sroes dowa bnt another rise' to front ranks of the military men of the dsv Ucn. Lyon undoubtedly knew bis man when bo entrusted Col. SiH with the Im portant command of the advance by the way of Holla and Sprint-field into the southwest of tho State. He ki.rw that upon the rout of the rebel in the interior or the State, their only outlet and way of rscapo was through the southwest ; and, duly appreciating the eminent qualifica tions of Col. Siirel, he at once entrusted dm with the command ol a body of troops whoso business it should be to harass, and if possible cut off the fugitives in the neigh borhood of Snrinirficld and Curihnzc. Col. Sigel promptly reached his destination, gave courage and organization to the Koine Uuards of the southwciit sections of (ho State, and guve the rebels a taste of the spirit and skill of the German I nion soldiery from which they will not soon re corer. All honor to Col. Sigel and the brave German officers and soldiers under him. He has proved himself a noble gen eral, 'and his command a band of heroes. We nuiy estimate the valuo of the ser vices rendered by him and them to the country, and wo may place something like a fair entinmto niton his aiiliturr t-k ill, if, with recent examples in Virmia (at Dig liethel and Vicuna) beforo our eves, we but reflect a moment upon the prolmblc results of the Carthage Guht. if tho U. S. forces had been under the command of any of our inexperienced military officers. Where is the volunteer officer in the whole country, who, in tho face of such tremen dous otitis, could have managed a whole duy's retreat as admirably, preserving his baggage teams, killing so many of Ihe en emy, and suffering 10 small a los himself 7 It is ono thing to sound the charge and push on to victory an enthusiastic nnd well appointed body of men. It is qnito an other thing to retire slowly beforo the threatening nviilnirrhe of a superior foe with perfect order and tho preservation of men nnu their cumbersome artillery nnd baggage. Happily for our German sol diery, und thrice fortu.into for tho cause of tho Government, was it ti nt Ucn. Lyon whs so clear in his estimate of the man for the pluco Col. Sigel fur the Southwest. The forco of tho rebels under Rains nnd Parsons were estimated nt 5,000, including 1,600 cavalry. They occupied a high ridgo in the prairie about seven mile, from Carthuge, their cavalry extending along the rear and on the flauk, their artillery of one 24 pounder in the center, supported by two G-poundcrs on each side. The position was a well-chosen and strong one. Col. Sigel displnyed his force of about 1,100 men, to the very best advantage, four pieces of orlillery in the center, and two pieces nt the extreme of each flank, the infantly stationed in columns on the right and left and in tho rear. In this condition tho fight began, and continued (or about three hours, when tho rebels' or tillery having been dismounted and their center broken, they commenced flank movements with their cavalry, threatening an attnek in the rear, ond tho capture of Col. Sigel's baggage train three miles be hind. Tho Colonel sent back one piece of artillery nnd a detachment of infantry to guard a ferry, and then commenced a ret rograde movement with his entire com mand, nt the same time dispatching an or der for tho advance of the baggage wag ons. In this movement he preserved the order of his columns until the baggage train was reached, when bo changed the disposition of his forces, Col. Saloman's battalion lending the front. The retreat was continued from about mid-day until 5 o'clock p. v., tho enemy threatening on all sides, but being constantly repulsed by the well-handled artillery and the serried front of tho infantry. The baggage wagons numbered abont fifty, and were moved in columns of eight. At 5 o'clock Col. Sicgel's force came to a small creek, just beyond which was a bluff, intersected by tho road to Carthage, alona which he was moving. On the two sides of this divided bluff 600 of the rebel rest for his men We challenge anything In the history of tho wars ol the country that will surpass this masterly retreat of Col. Sigel and his brave German troops. In this action Col. Sigel lost CO killed and wounded the rebels 500. Btxxtrr Settles tiik Matter. The New York Herald advises the enlargement of tho Army to 000,000 mon, and their being thoroughly drilled until about the first of October; then ho wonts a movement made Southward which will clean out everything as it goes, aided by the follow ing disposition of Ihe negro question: " As the slaves are mostly to bo found in the cotton States, these contraband goods would become spoils of war, together with all tho real and personal estate of the secessionists, in pursuance or the Act re cently introduced into Congress, confiscat ing all property of the rebels, houses, lands, horses and' negroes. The slaveholders in the revolted States number about 300,000. Their slave number about 3,000,000. There are about 750,000 poor whites, heads of families, in those States, who have no slaves nnd no interest in slnvery. Let the slaves be sold to them at $25 per head, tlie price of a live Yankee caught at sea by the privateers of Jefferson Davis tho terms to bo either cash or credit, to be re deemed in cotton. This sale would at once create a nminritvof Union men throughout the South, whilo it would realize a sum of t"50.000.000. winch would pay the ex nenscs of the war. Then the cotton of the present slaveholders, which will be found accumulated at tho sea ports and other points, must also bo seized and sold to England and Franco. The proceeds of this sulo would (rive us a handsome profit on the war, filling the trensury and saving our government tho necessity of taxation bv revenue, in any shape, for years to come. Tims would the war Ih finished, peaco es tablished, and tha Union restored. Ami nil this mny be done before the 1st of May, 1SG2. If it be not done, it will only be because wo have not tho right kind ol men to comprehend the plan, or to carry out the programme." of Westkhs Virginia. Tho condition things iu Western Virginia is briefly sum med up in the following, from the X. Y. Times, of August 2d, which wo find in the Bee: " In offset to onr reverse in Eastern ir- gir.in, our success in the western portion of tho State continues uninterrupted, both in respect to the progress of our arms, and in tho still moro important particular the progress which the Wheeling Government is making in extending the area or ine ter ritory acknowledging it. Gen. Cox's col umn hns reached the junction of tho Gan- lev and Greenbrier rivers, in pursuit of Wise, who is fleeing with a routed aim dis organized and rapidly diminishing force. W herever Gen. Cox appears, he is liailca as a deliverer by nearly the entire popula tion. By the successes of Cox, McClellsn, and Rosencrnns, tho rebels have been driv en from all Virginia West of the AHe ghnnics, a territory embracing fully one third the entire white population. The population is now actively cooperating with tho National forces. But as great as this success has been, it is but a stepping stone to still more important movements. Gen. Ilosencrnns is now moving southward for the purpose of forming a junction with Gen. Cox. When this is accomplished, their united command will have nearly reached the frontier of East Tennessee, the people of which are thoronghly loyal, and ore earnestly reaching out their hands for aid. The moment this aid is extended, the people there will assume the same position that those of Western Virginia did to the Eastern either assume to be the Govern ment df facto, or set np nn independent State.

Southern Senators wero holding on to their seats in Congress, and in night caucuses working to overthrow a Government they had taktn an outh to uphold, and in the daytime pretending to snpjiort the Constitution and act as privy council to Buchanan to support the Con stitution and the Laws. As soon os they could rush several other Cotton States out of tho Union, by false dispatches, and call a convention of self constituted delegates at Montgomery, they organized a bogus government, elected its officers, and at once went to raising nn iin mense army. Six thousand of their troops congregated nt Charleston, to assault and take the Government property in Ft. Sum ter, where the Government had only a force of seventy men, for peaceablo purposes, such as taking care of the Government property. Tryor, of Virginin, visited there, made a public speech to the citizens and soldiers, ond told them to attack the fort and spill some blood, for that was necessary to induco Virginia to go out. They did make the nssnult, and the fort full. Previous to this they had fired on the Star of this Went, crippled her in Charles ton harbor, ond boasted that tho Lincoln Government had not courago to defend her property. On tho heels of these nnd other outrages, Wnlkor, their Secretary of War, at Montgomery, made a public speech on the street nnd avowed that It was their purpose to take Washington at once, nnd that they would plant the Confederate flag upon the Capitol in sixty days from that date. All this timo the Federal Administration had dona nothing, not even what it was sworn to do. The people North and Sooth called upon tho Government to de fend its rights nnd their property, nnd then it was that Lincoln issued his Proclama tion. We are not all fools in the South, and hence we recollect these facts, and so long as we recollect them, we must cen sure the Southern traitors who inaugurated the war." Ta ISalUa atar SrtaiatU, Hlateart, The following ii the verbatim report re ceived from tho special messenger who bronght dispatches for Gen. Fremont, of tho battlo of Springfield, or Willow Creek Our troops numbered 8,000, thoso of the enemy 23,000: Early on Sunday morning, Aug 1 1 tit Gen. Lyou marched out of Springfield to givo the enemy battle, no came np to them on Davis' Creek, on Green's Prairie, a lew miles southwest of Springfield, where ho had taken a strong position on rolling ground. At twenty minutes past six o'clock in morning, Gen. Lyon fired tho first gun. when tho battle immediately be gan. Sevoro cannonading was kept up for hours, when two of tapt. lotten a guns proving too severe for the enemy, they grail uflllv fell back toward tneir encampmenti on Willow Creek. Gen. Lyon had taken position on the enemy's left Hank, nnd Gen, Sigd s artillery on tho right. Then began a terrific attack that spread slaughter and dismay in the ranks of the enemy. They were pursued to their camp by shells from Capt. Tottcn, setting fire to their tents and wagons, wnicn were an de stroyed. A Louisiana regiment and a Mis sissippi regiment seemed to have suffered most in the fight, ond were almost entire ly annihilated sometime In the oflernoon As Gen. Lvon was trading on his col umn his horso was shot from under him. He immediately mounted another, nnd ns ho turned round to his men, waving his hat in his hand, nnd cheering them on to victory, ho was struck in the' small of the back by a ball, and Tell dead, the com mand then devolved on Gen. Sigel. Pursuit continued until night-fall, when our little army rested for Ihe night in the eucnmpmcnts of the enemy. On Monday morning, 12th of Angust, fearing that tho enemy might recover and attempt to cut Ins command on Irom Springfield, Gen. Sigel fell bnik on that city, where the Homo Guards were sta tioui d. On reaching Springfield, fearing that tho great numbers of tho enemy might induce them to get between him and Holla, Gen. Sigel concluded to fall back npon Rolla with his provision trains, and meet the reinforcements which were on their way to meet him. Tho Federal loss was about 000 that of tho rebels from 2,500 to 3,000. 19 Alexander II. Stephens, in a re cent speech at Atlanta, Cn.,' indulged in a strain of pious trust, end devoutly appeal ed to God, whose blessing he has no doubt will rest upon the secession cause.

Tnz Shadow or a Doubt. Gen. Sum ner has issued a special order creating a Board of Officers to examine the persons chosen as officers of the volunteers, os to their physical condition, moral character, general information, nnd nptitnde for the Gkk. pATTr.nsos's Defense. On his return to Philadelphia, Gen. Patterson was well received, and made a speech In front of his own residence to some of tho returned volunteers, from which tho following is on extract: " Some sneers have been thrown npon the army of tho Shenandoah, but we did our duty there. We were continnnlly threatened with what uen. scott dislikes so much n fire in the rear from the rebels in Maryland. The arch traitor king at Richmond, Jefferson iMvts, uoasted mai all tho Southern army wanted was nn open field and a fair fight. Well, my comrades, you know there were plenty of open fields before ns when wo crossed tno roiomne, nnd the enemy ran beforo ns then. He made a stand nt Hainsville, where he had plenty of open fields, but he could not stand onr charges. We met him again at Falling Waters, hut ho would not snow strong battle. When we arrived at Mor- tinsburg, wo found n strong pluco witn plenty of stone walls, but the enemy hnd deserted it. No stand was made either ot Big Spring nnd at Bunker J I ill. where the enemy was certainly going to givo bat tle, wo could not find him at nil. Ap plause. Peoplo may sneer nt the Irish nnd German soldiers ns much ns they nlcnso, but they aro not afraid to fight! Threo cheers were given for tho Sixty-ninth. I hnd nt Martinsburg nbout 11,000 men nnd six guns. Having reconnoitered the enemy, I found his forco to bo about 40, 000 men nnd 18 guns. I telegraphed for reinforcements, which were sent me, and I moved from Martinsburg with 15,000 men and 20 guns. At Winchester the rebels were strongly entrenched, with numerous earthworks and rifle-pits, nnd had some 08 nieces of heavy ordnnnco mounted in vari ous commanding positions, nnd they hnd felled trees over all tho roads. If I had attacked him there with my force I would probably have been unsuccessful in dislodg ing him from his stronghold, and many of the bravo men I now see before me would hnve been under tho sod to night. I then marched upon Charleston. Uuder tho cir cumstances I did tho best I conld, nnd yon, men, did your wholo duty ond merit my ap probation." Tnr. Battle op Bn.i. Run.

It gives a rapid sketch of the ojierntions of our army in Western Virginia. It ia- dated Beverly, July 19, I8CI1 Soldim of th Army rf the Writ: I om more than satisfied with you. You havo annihilated two armies commanded by ed ucated and experienced soldiers, entrenched iu mountain fastnesses nnd fortified. Yon have taken fivo pun, twelve colore, ond 1500 stand of arms, nnd 1000 prisoner. Including moro than forty officers. One of tho second commanders of thn rebels is a prisoner, and tho other lost his life on the field of battle. You have killed more than 250 of the enemy, who hive lost all their baggage nnd camp equipage. All this has been accomplished with a loss of twenty bravo men killed nnd sixtr wounded. You havo proved that the Union men. fighting for the preservation of tho Gov ernment, are more than a match for mis guided and erring brothers. Moro thad this, you have shown mercy to tho van quished. You havo made long and ardu ous marches, bad insulliciciit food, ond been exposed to the inclemency of the weather. I have not hesitated toduinond thisof Too, feeling that I could rely 011 yonr endurance, patriotism, nnd courage.
