The Oglcihorp Cavalry. 
The New York Zouaves received the first charge 
of the famous Black Horse Guard, about which Gov. 
Wise has ao often spoken. It was a splendid corps of 
cavalry, all the horses of which were coal black. 
They came upon the Zouave regiment at a gallop, 
and were received by the brave firemen upon their 
poised bayonets, followed instantly by a uollcy, from 
which they broke and fled, though several of iho 
Zouaves were cut down iu the assault. They quickly 
returned, with their forces doubled perhaps »i()0 or 
700 and again they dashed with fearful yells upon the 
excited Zouaves, This time they bore an American 
flag, and a part of the Zouaves supposed for an 
instant that they were friends, whom they bad origi¬ 
nally mistaken. 
The flag was quickly thrown down, however, the 
horses dashed upon the regimen), the rust was dis¬ 
covered, and the slaughter commenced. No quarter, 
no halting, no flinching now, marked the rapid and 
death-dealing blows of our men, as they closed in 
upon the foe, in their madness and desperation. Our 
brave fellows foil, the ranks filled up, the sabers, 
bowie knives, and bayonets glistened in the sun light, 
horse after horse went down, platoon after platoon 
disappeared—the rattle of musketry, the screams of 
the rebels, the shout of “Remember Ellsworth!» from 
the lungs of the Zouaves, and the yells of the wounded 
and crushed belligerents filled the air, and a terrible 
carnage succeeded. The gallant Zouaves fought to 
the death, and were sadly cut up; hut of those hun¬ 
dreds of Black Horse Guards, not many left that 
bloody encounter. Semi-official statements put the 
living at nineteen, and of these three are not expected 
to survive their wounds. This is the troop which 
have boasted that they would picket their horses in 
the grounds of the White House at Washington.

have so nobly defended. 
Soitthkhn Exultation.— Jeff. Davis sent the 
following dispatch to his wife immediately after the 
late battle, and it nppours in the New Orleans Delta: 
Manassas, July 21. 
VVe have won a glorious though dearly bought 
victory. Night closed on the enemy in full flight and 
closely pursued. Jeff. Davis. 
The N. 0. Picayune eaya:—In every corner of the 
land, and at every capital in Europe, it will he read 
as the exultant and emphatic indorsement, by a 
young and unconquerable nation, of the lofty assur¬ 
ance President Davis spread before the world on the 
very eve of the battle, that the noble race of freemen 
who Inhabit these States will, whatever may lie the 
proportions the war may assume, “renew tlieir sacri¬ 
fices and tlieir services from year to year, until they 
have made good to the uttermost the right of self- 
government.” 
The N. 0. Crescent. Hays:—The battle annals of the 
Amcrican continent furnish no parallel to the brilliant 
and splendid victory won by the Southern army on 
Sunday last over the hired mercenaries and minions 
of the abolition despotism. 
W ith an inferior force, in point of numbers, we 
have driven hack to their dens the boasting Invaders 
of our soil, scattering them before our victorious 
arms aH leaves are scattered before the autumn wind. 
The victory is the more significant from the fact 
that it is the first general engagement between the 
opposing forces. That the President of the Confede¬ 
rate States was himself in the thickest of the fight, 
exposed to all the perils of the battle field, iH another 
circumstance that adds to the joy of our triumph, and 
swells our triumphant note of exultation. All honor 
to our brave and gallant leader and President, to the 
bravo Beauregard, the gallant Johnston, and our 
cbivalrie soldiery! 
We have driven the enemy back from onr soil, we 
have mowed down his men by the hundreds and the 
thousands, we have captured his batteries, and sent 
him howling and panic stricken from the field of the 
fight,. The blow, in its moral and physical effects, 
will prove of incalculable advantage to the Southern 
cause.

Gen. Pope hereafter designs to permit no more 
scouting, deeming it an injury to the proficiency of 
the troops for service. The people will be held 
strictly responsible for the depredations committed. 
If hostilities occur, and troops are called to their 
relief, they will he sent in sufficient numbers to take 
possession of the village or villages that may be 
making tronble. Soldiers will he quartered in the 
houses and draw rations of the citizens. This, it is 
believed, is the only means of making and keeping 
the people duly vigilant to their owu and the United 
Elates interests. 
Gen. Pope has publicly notified the people along 
the Northern Missouri Railroad that they will be hied 
personally accountable for the destruction of bridges, 
culverts and portions of the track within five milesof 
each side of them, and that if any outrages to Rail, 
roud property are committed within the distance 
specified without conclusive proof of active resist¬ 
ance on the part of the population, and without im¬ 
mediate information to the nearest commanding 
officer, a levy of money and property sufficient to 
cover the whole damage done, will he made and 
collected. Divisions and subdivisions of the road 
will he made, and superintendents and assistant 
superintendents will he appointed without regard to 
political opinions, who will he held responsible fur 
the Railroad track within that district. 
A reliable gentleman, who arrived at Louisville on 
the 8d inst., says that seven boats left Memphis last 
night, conveying troops to New Madrid. He says 
that nof, less thou 20,000 Icnnessce troops have been 
landed in Missouri. Isham G. Harris has probably 
been re-elected Governor of Tennessee. General

Jt is proper to state that the military Organization 
of the Southern Republic consists of three armies:— 
First, the regular army, to the command of which

OtiNt’ow OKU EOK THK Rebblb.— We learn from the 
Charleston Mercury, that the Confederate Govern¬ 
ment has boon informed that the Governor of Lou- 
isinna had taken possession of two hundred tuns of 
sulphur iu his State, for the purpose of making gun¬ 
powder for the army. It belonged to private indi¬ 
viduals, and was obtained by them for the purpose of 
being used in refining or manufacturing sngar. It is 
said the BUgar planters or refiners will suffer consid¬ 
erable inconvenience in consequence of this seizure, 
but Governor Moore deemed the necessities of the 
State and Confederate States of more importance 
than the convenience of individuals. This sulphur is 
sufficient to make fifteen hundred tuns nf gunpowder. 
Sulphur is an article of importation, and contraband 
of war. It cannot he obtained iu this country, except 
by making it from the Hulphurets of iron, copper or 
other minerals, or from the sulphur springs. The 
process would be exceedingly tedious, laborious, and 
expensive, of making sulphur from these substances, 
or from sulphur water. There is not so much diffi¬ 
culty in obtaining saltpeter, for there are caves of 
nitrons earth in most of the Confederate States. So 
that if we have sulphur enough, there need he no fear 
of an abundant supply of gunpowder for the most 
extensive or prolonged war. 
Movements oe the Rebel Generals Wise and 
Lki:.— 1 he Memphis Argus of July 22il says that Gen¬ 
eral Wise has recently marched into the North-West 
with a legion of ten or twelve thousand strong, ilis 
headquarters, until a few days since, were at Charles* 
ton, Kanawha co., on the Great Kanawha river. Itis 
now understood that ho has advanced northward into 
avenge him! Bartow's, Gaitrell’s, Goulding's, and 
Anderson’s regiments were, we Hiipposc, the repre¬ 
sentatives of Georgia in the great light ! Heaven 
smiles on ns, onr arms, and our cause! Then onward! 
Follow the President, the gallant Jeff. Davis, who 
leads the center. Now for Washington! 
War Movements In the West. 
Gen. Fremont and staff' and a fleet of eight 
steamers, And four regiments of infantry, also several 
detached companies of light artillery, all equipped, 
arrived at Cairo on the 2d inst. They were enthusi- 
astically received by the soldiers and citizens. 
Salutes were fired by the battery at. Fort Prentiss. 
The troops were landed at Bird’s,Point, swelling the 
force at that, camp to about 8,000. 
The steamer B. N. Chenny, running in connection 
with the Illinois Central and Mobile A Ohio Railroad, 
wuh seized at Columbia, Ky., on the 1st inst., by the 
rebels from Tennessee. 
1 he Kt. Louis I£veiling A ncs learns from a well- 
informed citizen of South West Missouri, who pos¬ 
sesses peculiar facilities for acquiring knowledge of 
the plan of secessionist# in that region, that tlieir 
real object Is not to attack Cairo or Bird’s Point, hut 
to make a desperate attempt to secure possesion of 
St. Louis. There is a strong force under Gen. Pillow 
at New Madrid, Missouri; another at Pocahontas, 
Arkansas, believed to be under Ben McCullough, and 
another in Mississippi, under Jeff. Thompson. The 
plan is to keep tip a constant threat to attack Cairo 
and Bird’s Point, so as to keep the Federal troops 
there employed, menace Gen. Lyon in South-western 
Missouri by threats of nu attack from Generals Price 
and Rains, while the forces at New Madrid and Poca¬ 
hontas effect a junction at Pilot Knob, ami from there 
march on St. Louis, take it, reinstate Gov. Jackson, 
aud with this city as a basis of operations, wrest Mis¬ 
souri from the Federal Government. 
Scouts who have just returned to Cairo, trom the 
South, report that, the rebels at New Madrid are well 
armed and well drilled, and that they have live bat¬ 
teries of 10 pound field pieces, which were officered 
by foreigners. They also have two regiments of 
cavalry, well equipped. Gen. Pillow, who is in com- 
Col. Solomon’s regiment and part of Scigel’s ar¬ 
rived in St. Louis, from the South-West, on the 2d 
inst. The balance of Seigel’s regiment will probably 
arrive to-day. These troops will he disbanded here, 
their time having expired, but nearly all of the two 
former regiments will ro-enlist for the war. Efforts 
are being made to continue the organization of the 
reserved corps or the St. Louis Home Guard beyond 
the time of their regular enlistment. 
Hundreds of people are coining into Illinois almost 
daily, who have been driven off from Missouri aud 
Arkansas by the rebels. They represent that, if the 
Federal Government would send a force and arms, to 
urm the people, more than one-half in both Stales 
would fight for the Union. The strength of the Mis¬ 
souri State forces, south of us, is stated to be about 
7,000, including 2,500 Arkansas troops. 
There aro nearly 800 slaves doing military duty in 
one of Ben McCullough’s regiments. 
Gen. Lyon has officially expressed his high appre¬ 
ciation of the Generalship displayed by Col. Seigel, 
in the battle near Carthage, and of the soldier like 
qualities of his officers and men exhibited in the 
engagement. 
McCullough and Johnson’s forces having devastated 
the country where they were encamped, arc slowly 
moving northward in three divisions, for the better 
subsistence of the troops. Wo are quietly awaiting 
their approach, onr troops being ready for a buttle. 
The unfavorable news from Virginia lias inspired 
them with a fresh desire to recover in the West what¬ 
ever prestige may have been lost in the East. (Jen. 
Lyon’s command is only now about 6,000 strong, a 
considerable number of the three month’s men hav¬ 
ing gone to St. Louis to receive their pay and be 
mustered out of service, a great majority of whom 
will immediately re-enlist and return soon. 
1 he most outrageous falsehoods are being circu¬ 
lated in Arkansas and Texas, in order to induce men 
to enlist in the rebellion. 
Regiments will, according to recent orders, he subject 
to examination by a Military Hoard, to be appointed 
by the War Department, with the concurrence of 
Scott as to their fitness for positions assigned them, ! 
and officers found to he incompetent are to be 
rejected; besides, Government, it is understood, has 
assured McClellan of its readiness to accord to him 
the very best material in men and munitions, and of 
its ordial co-operation in everytbingthat will render 
his forces efficient. 
The following order has Just been promulgated: 
Division of the Potomac, j 
Headquarters, Washington, July 80. \ 
The General commanding the Division 1ms, with 
much regret, observed that large numbers of officers 
and men stationed in the vicinity of Washington, are 
in the habit of frequenting the streets and hotels of 
the city. This practice is eminently prejudicial of 
good order and military discipline, arid must at once 
he discontinued. The time and services of all per¬ 
sons connected with this division should he devoted 
to their appropriate duties with their respective eom- 
mauds. It is therefore directed that hereafter no 
officer or soldier he allowed to absent himself trom 
us camp and visit Washington, except, for the per¬ 
formance ot so in r? public duty, or for the transaction 
o important private business, for which purpose 
written permits will be give,, by the Commanders of 
Brigades. The permit will state the object of the visit. 
Brigade Commanders will he held responsible for 
the strict execution of this order. 
Col. Andrew Porter, of tlm l«th u. S. Infantry, is 
detailed tor temporary dtitjFas Provost Marshal in 
Washington, and will be obeyed and instructed 
accordingly. 
Col. Porter will report in person at the headquar¬ 
ters for instructions. 1 
By command of Major-General McClellan. 
H. Williams, Ass't Adjutant General. 
Gen. Cameron, Secretary of War, on the 1st inst. 
directed Col. Franklin, the commandant, of the forces 
•it Alexandria, that from that day all slaves impris¬ 
oned at that post bo liberated, and that they be 
employed on the fortifications and military works, 
and to be paid as day laborers in the service of the 
Government. 
The appropriations thus far made by Congress 
amount to $240,000,000. The Secretary or War has 
asked lor $20,000,000 on account of volunteers now 
being mustered into service. The bill for that pur¬ 
pose will probably be passed to-morrow. 
Jt appears by an examination of the two Volunteer 
bills that one is supplemental to the other; that the 
President, has power to call 1,000,000 men into the 
field, although that extent of authority was not 
designed it is believed. It is not thought that mqre 
than 500,000 men will lie accepted. 
The Members of Congress have been paid their last 
months’ saliiry with $250 in gold, and $250 in the C 
per cent, treasury notes. The employes of other de¬ 
partments are hereafter to be paid in the same paper. 
One of the communications recently sent hither 
under a (lag of truce from Gen. Johnson, was, it is 
understood, in relation to u report which reached the 
Confederates, that some of them had been hung by 
order of onr military authorities. As no such execu¬ 
tions have taken place, it may be inferred that Gen. 
McDowell replied to this effect. 
The Government has arranged with four manufac¬ 
turers to have sixty rifled cannon turned out 
On motion of Mr. Wilson, th, bill supplementary 
to the act to increase the military establishment was 
taken np and passed. 
Mr. Lane, of Indiana, offered a resolution asking 
the President to inform the Senate whether Hon 
James H. Lane, of Kansas, bad been appointed 
Brigadier-General, and if he has accepted the same. 
Adopted. 
Mr. Satilsbury moved to take p the resolution of 
inquiry in reference to sending if arms to the State 
of Delaware. He said that Delaware was as loyal as 
any State in tbc Union, but persons attempted to 
make it appear that there were disloyal men there. 
Motion was agreed to. 
Mr. Wilson introduced a bill making appropria¬ 
tions for fortifications. The bill provides for one 
hundred thousand dollars, and also prohibits flogging. 
Passed. 
1 he bill to promote efficiency of volunteer forces 
of the United States, was taken up and passed. 
The hill relating to the revenue service was taken 
up. It. provides that, the Secretary of the Navy may 
charter or purchase additional vessels for the revenue 
service. Passed. 
The report of the Committee of Conference on the 
resolution to pay the widow of Stephen A. Douglas, 
was read and agreed to, and the bill passed. 
House.— The House passed the Senate bill appro¬ 
priating $200 ,000 to pay for the transportation and 
delivery of arms to loyal citizens in the rebellions 
States, and the organizing of such persons for their 
protection against insurrection and violence. 
On motion of Mr. Blair, of Missouri, a resolution 
was adopted calling on the Secretary of War to com¬ 
municate the letter of the lion. Joseph Holt to the 
President on the lHf.li of February, in response to the 
resolution of the House requesting the reasons of 
sending United States troops to the seat of govern¬ 
ment. 
On motion of Mr. Lovejoy, it was resolved that the 
thanks of this Houbc are due and arc hereby pre¬ 
sented to the 8th Massachusetts regiment of volun¬ 
teers, for their alacrity and patriotism in responding 
to the call of the President, surmounting obstacles, 
by sea and land, which traitors interposed to impede 
their progress to the defense of the National Capital. 
Mr. Bingham, from the Judiciary Committee, re¬ 
ported back the Senate bill transferring the control 
over the District Attorney and Marshals, from the 
Secretary of the Interior to the Attorney-General. 
Passed. 
Mr. Blair, from the Military Committee, reported

The War Department has received the following 
direct, from General Itosekninz by telegraph: 
August 1. Gen.'Cox reached Gnuley bridge on 
the 2 1 th ult. Governor Wise lied without fighting 
destroying u bridge to prevent pursuit. We have 
captured 1,000 muskets and several kegs of cannon

Wise lor wanton destruction of property, and are 
abandoning him aud bis cause. His Western troops 
arc rapidly disbanding their forces. The valley of 
the Kanawha Is now free of rebel troops. 
It is suspected here that the army of the Potomac 
will not ho kept idle so long a time as has been gen¬ 
erally predicted. Its reorganization proceeds with 
great rapidity. Tbo new troops arriving here are 
placed at once in brigades, and probably only a few 
days, or at furthest a few weeks, will be required, at 
the present rate of progress, to make a forward 
movement that will be more successful than the last. 
No doubts are entertained that Gen. McClellan will 
strike as soon as lie is ready, without waiting for the 
weathtr. His plan of operations will not bo dis¬ 
closed until the precise moment for its execution, 
week- With one (1 rm 
has been made. 
The following officers have been designated as a 
portion of the staff of Maj. Gen. McClellan: Major 
S. Williams, Assistant Adjutant General; Capt, S. 
Van VIjet, Assistant Quartermaster General; Capt. 
II. F. Clark, Assistant, Commissary General; Major 
W. F, Burry, Chief of Artillery. 
1 he Senate has continued numerous army appoint¬ 
ments. Among them were Major-Generals McClellan, 
Fremont, IMx, Banks, and Brig.-Generals Hooker, 
Curtis, McCall, Sherman, Lander, Kelly, Kearney, 
Pope, Heintzelman, Porter, Stone, Reynolds, Hunter, 
Franklin, Rosekranz, Buell, Mansfield, McDowell 
and Meigs. 
Prince Napoleon called on the President on the 3d 
inst,, and was duly presented by the Secretary of 
State. The President received the Prince with 
marked courtesy, and welcomed him to the country 
in a few simple Imt, hearty words. Without seeking, 
lie said, to attach to this flattering visit of one so 
closely allied to the French throne at this solemn 
crisis in the country’s history, an undue importance, 
lie could not but feel that his presence ut the Capital 
was a guarantee of the friendly interest of the French 
Government, The Prince replied with brevity and 
feeling. He used necessarily a certain diplomatic 
iQBerve, yet it is clear that he sympathises with the 
Government of the United States, and that he is not, 
any more than the Emperor, favorable to the sad con¬ 
tingencies of revolution, it is understood that the 
ITiueo has been invited to review the Army of the

the oommund of all the forces of St. Louis. These 
troops will consist principally of Illinois regiments, 
together by themselves, and thus form one grand arm 
of the Western army. This division will he ready, 
after thorough drilling and vigorous discipline iu 
repose tie sacred remains of the Father of Iiih 
U ountry but this pious hope is disappointed. Mount 
Vermin, so recently consecrated anew to the immor¬ 
tal \\ asl.inglon by the ladies of America, has already 
been overrun by bands of rebels, who, having tram¬ 
pled under foot the Constitution of the United States, 
the ark of our freedom and prosperity, are pre¬ 
pared to trample on the ashes of him to whom we 
are all mainly indebted for those mighty blessings. 
Should the operations of the war take the United 
Mates troops in that direction, the Commander-in- 
chief dies not doubt that each and every man will 
approach with due reverence, utul leave uninjured.

—.i—ti. „•... i.^ir, or througn 
out the country, of men well known of secession 
sentiments, merits the reprobation of all loyal citi¬ 
zens, and hereby receives the reprobation of this 
House. 
Mr. Stevens, from the Committee Conference 
on the Supplementary Loan Bill, made a report ex¬ 
plaining that the disagreement of the two Houses 
had been compromised by striking out nine percent, 
in certain cases and substituting six per cent. 
Also, modifying the Sub-Treasury act, so that in¬ 
stead of gold nnd silver being immediately paid into 
the treasury, as now required, the money derived 
from the loan may remain in solvent banks until it 
shall be drawn out in pursuance of law. 
Mr. F. A. Conklin inquired whether the Committee 
retained the duties from tea, coffee, sugar, Ac., as a 
pledge for the loan.

sent to that, and that, rather than lose the bill, the 
Committee had agreed to abandon that clause. The 
report was adopted by 83 to 34.

ported the bill to suspend the operation of the act

lection of the revenue to the charter or purchase of

The Senate hill, authorizing the appointment of 
aids-de-camp, in addition to those now allowed by 
law, by the President, ou recommendation either of 
Gen. Scott or Major-Generals, was passed, 
Mr. Blair, of Missouri, rising to u personal expla¬ 
nation, read some remarks ot Thurlow Weed against 
himself and his brother, Montgomery Blair, Post¬ 
master General, derogatory to them in connection 
with the war. As to the latter, Montgomery Blair, 
that gentleman could take care of himself. Although 
he (F. I’. Iflalr) dilfured from Scott with reference to 
the conduct of the war, their personal relations were 
of the kindest character. He (F. I\ Blair) showed 
that it was absurdly charged by Thurlow Weed that 
he (Blair), as Chairman of the Military Committee, 
had the hill reported by Senutor Wilson, for an in¬ 
crease of the army, emasculated. Mr. Blair then 
referred to Mr. Richardson’s repetition of conversa¬ 
tion between Gen. Scott and the President relative 
to the late battle, and involving the responsibility of 
tho fight. 
Mr. Richardson remarked that lie had endeavored 
to report that conversation honestly, and, if any¬ 
thing had escaped his memory, members of this 
House who were present on this occasion ought to 
have corrected him. 
Mr. Wushhurue, as one of the gentlemen alluded 
to, said he did not understand bis colleague (Rich¬ 
ardson) as saying that Gen. Scott imputed that he 
had been forced by the President to tight the battle. 
Mr. Biclntrdson did not think bis language bad 
been fairly construed, if it was supposed that he had 
said, or intimated, that Gen. Scott implied that the 
President had forced him into the movement. 
Mr. Blair alluded to this matter for a double pur¬ 
pose. He understood that Gen. Scott did, in that 
conversation, exonerate the President from having 
any part iu forcing him to the battle. 
Mr. Richardson replied that he had not understood 
Gen. Scott as implying that the President forced him 
to fight the battle. 
Mr. Blair replied that was the very essence of the 
matter. The President should retain the confidence 
of the people of the country, but this he could not 
do bo long as it is held out that the President forced 
Gen. Scott to fight a battle against his will; but as 
the President did not take the responsibility of
