Great honor is due to those officers who remained true, despite the example of their treacherous ass0ciates ; but the greatest honor amd most important fact of all, isthe unanimity and firimness of the commion soldiers and coinroh sailors. To the last man, so far as known, they successfully resisted the traitorous efforts of those whose commands but an hour before they obeyed as absolute law. This is the patriotic action of plain people. They understood, without argument, that the destro ing the Government which was made by Was ington means no good to them. The patriotism of the private soldiers . . and sailors, who resisted the overtures of traitorous officers to desert their country’s flag, is deserving a more substantial reward than a cotnmendutory notice. The vacant offices in the army, caused by the numerous resignations, should bave been filled by the . appointment of the more deserving soldiers. It appears, however, that the common eoldier, no matter how well qualified, ot how deserving a commission, must still remain in the ranks, or leave the service. We see it stated that four bundred and fifty noncommissioned officers in the regular army have lately beeu relieved from Lieutenants’ daty by the appointment of civilians, No soldier has been appointed to a higher grade than Second Lieutenant in the oew regiments, aod the whole number of receut appoiutments, aod promotions, from both the rank and file of the army, is only 148, while no.less than 200 outsiders bave obtained commissions as First Lieutenants, The result will be that every deserving soldier, when he finds his own claims passed over, and the comotissions bestowed upon politicians and men of no military experience, will leave the service as soon as bis term of enlistment expires, Fuarrive Staves.—Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, on the 9th of July, introduced a resolution in the Houve of Representatives, declaring that it was no partof the duty of soldiers to capture and retura fugitive slaves. Tbe resolution passed by a vote of 92 against 58. At the beginning of bostilitis many ranaway slaves were returned to their masters, more, we presume, from a desire on the part of the soldiers to conciliate the owners, than from any cousideration of duty. Bat as the fugitives increased . in nombers, it was found that to return . them would seriously interfere with the duties of the volunteers, who were called out for another purpose altogether. The army officers will perhaps, adopt the policy of having nothing whatever to do with the slaves, unless they should be employed by the enemy in erecting fortifications, or other warlike purposes, when they can be taken and held as contraband property. Tux force under Col, Sigel, who have recently had some hard fighting with the rebels, was stationed in the extreme southwest of Missouri, with the view of cutting off the retreat of Gov. Jackson, Accordreinforcements several days ago. He supposes General Johnson’s force to consist of dollars: from 15,000 to 18,000 infantry, and about 600 cavalry and tweoty pieces of artillery, aud is posted about seven miles from Martinsburg. Patterson's command is 17,000, and be bas twenty field pieces, The latest information at beac-quarters says Beauregard persoually commands at Fairfax, bis precise force is not known. J'be rebels have leveled the forest for . . ] borrow within twelve months 250,000,000 payment to be secured by duties on tea, coffee, sugar, spices, wines and liquors aud other duties and taxes, The Postmaster General. bas ordered the ‘discontinuance of mails in Middie aud W est Tenuessee. The Richmond Examiner complains that the new converts to secession are getting miles between Manassas Junction and Fair. «a)) the good prizes” from the State aufax, which is evidence that they will not attack the Federal Center under McDowell. The Confederates are reported covcentrating and erecting batteries at Fernandiuo. A recruiting office has been opeved for the army of the Southern Confederacy at Louiaville, Ky. The First South Carolina Regiment has left Manassas for home, its time baving expired. Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, issued a proclamation, July 6b, for 3,000 troops for the federate army. Messrs, Origie and Willey have beeo elected to the U. 8. Senate, by the Legislature of Western Virginia, in place of Hunter and Mason. The Governor of Kansas hae appinted F. P. Stanton to fill the place in the Senate vacated by Lane’s accepting the Brigadier Generalebip. At two o'clock, July 10th, 500 federal troops, under Col, Smith, of the 16th Illinois Regiment, encamped near Monroe Statiov, on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, Missouri, were surprised and altacked by 1,600 rebels, under Jackson’s Brigadier General, Thomas A. Harris. The rebels were driven back to the Railroad Station, with a loss of four killed and several wounded. Five prisoners and seven horses were taken. Capt, McAllister, of the 16th Illinois Regiment, was mortally wounded, baying. five balis shot through bim, Some three or four of the Federatiste were slightly wounded. While the tight was going on, come 300 rebels burwed the railroad bridge, station bouse and twenty cars, They also tore off the track. The rebel force was pursued to Monroe by Col. Smith’s command. Another fight took place at the Station, and the rebels were again repulsed with some loss. Col. Smith took up a position in and around the Female Seminary, and sent for re-inforeements, At 11 they were sarrounded by rebels in full force, but thought they could hold out till reinforced. The Government will send «# sufficient force to the Overland route to protect mails and property of citizens. A considerable force of Volunteers will be rent to Salt Lake, The friends of Gen, Lee report that he bas resigned and will be found on the side of Unionists in Virginia. A severe quarrel is reported between Lee, Letcher and Wise. Magruder, Prior, and Jetf Davis were called in to settle the matter, and laid Lee on the shelf, which enraged Letcher. Gen. Lee is now in Virginia raising forces to sustain the Union. A dispatch dated at Buckhanon, Va., July llth says: A message just arrived from Gen. McClellan, reports two regiments under McCook and Andrews, made a reconnoisance of the enemies? position last night, and were fired upon-.-one man killed and two wounded. They advanced to within 350 yards of the enemies’ entrenchments. The rebels are strongly fortified. General McClellan was to commence an attack at eight o’clock on the morning of July 11th.

Conuston at Sea.—Tbe scboovers Morning Light and Susan Farnham came io collision, recently, when off Bolinas, and the latter immediately filled with water. The Morning Light took off ber crew and succeeded in towing the disabled vessel in port. Tuw Enfield rifles, according to the Loadon Mechanic’s Magazine, bave one turo in the twist every twenty inches. This has been adopted from the Whitworth rifle, which is constructed with the sharpest twist of any rifle in the world. Purtapecrata Mint.—The total coinage at the Philadelphia Mint, during the months of January, February, March, April and May, was $31,153,206. In the month of May, the copper coinage amounted to $11,090. Mzpi1caL.—The Medical Press for July says that Professor B. R. Carman, who filled the chair of Materia Medica during the first three sessions of the Medical Department of the University of the Pacific, has removed from San Francisco to Mexico, where he designs making a permanent home, and where his health is restored, having suffered much from rheumatism of the pericardium during the most of his residence in San Francisco. Dr. Henry Gibbons has been appointed by the Trustees to the Professorstiip of Materia Medica in the Medical Department of the University of the Pacific, made vacant by the resignation of Professor Carman.

A portion of her timbers are of eastern oak, a portion of Oregon pine. She has fifty state-rooms, with roomy cabins, which will be fitted up in the best style. Her name will not be made public until the launch takes place, when she will be christened in due form. Distance Lenps Va.vus.—If Lime Point had been located on Montgomery street it would not have been rated on the Assessment Roll at so high a figure as some of the witnesses placed it; but as it happens to be located where nobody can see it, of course it is immensely valuable, because the Government needs about ten acres of it—[Call.
