Great Battle at Lexington, Missouri
THE REBELS REPULSED ON MONDAY.
BATTLE BEJVEWED OJS' TUESDAY.
REBEL LOSS REPORTED AT 4,000,
FEDERAL LOSS 800.
Federal Reinforcements Approaching,
Jefferson Citv, Sept. 18.—Two couriers have
just arrived from Lexington, with the following
intelligence, which is believed by the commanding
officer here to be in the main reliable:
General Price commenced the attaek on the en
trenchments at Lexington on Monday. Col. Mulli
gan, the commander of the Federal troops, made a
vigorous defence, and the fight all day was very
severe. Throughout the day General Price as
saulted the works, but was repulsed with great loss.
The fighting was renewed on Tuesday morning,
but the assault was feebly sustained when the
couriers left. General Lnno was at Johnstown,
Bates county, with a force of from two thousand
to three thousand, marching to tho relief of Lex
ington.
The robel loss on Monday is said to be 4,000, and
that of the Federal troops 800, but this is probably
an exaggeration.
The above telegraphic despatch was received yes
terday morning, and wo hope to obtain further in
telligence, which will bo published in our inside
form.
Lexington, the capital of Lafayette eounty, Mis
souri, is situated on the right bank of the Missouri
river, 120 miles, by the road, west of Joffarson
City. The situation is high and healthy. It con
tains a United States land office, two newspaper
offices, about seven churches, and one bank. Its
population in 1853 was estimated at 4,000, and it
has considerably increased since that time.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Jeffeiison Onv, Sept. 18,
On Monday afternoon Gon. Price seat word to
Col. Mulligan at Lexington again demanding a sur
render.'
Col. Mulligan’s reply was “ Go to hell.”
An attack was immediately made by the rebels,
by first opening with artillery, and then advancing
under its eover on the town.
Price was repulsed with heavy loss.
Gen. Lane, with an estimated force of 5,000 Kan
sas troops, is reported to be within 40 miles of Lex
ington, rapidly advancing to reinforce Col. Mulli
gan.
Other Federal troops arc rapidly moving forward
from St. Joseph and other points to reinforce Mul
ligan.
The Eighteenth, Twenty-second, Twenty-fourth,
and Twenty-sixth Indiana regiments have gono to
Lexington on the steamers Des Maims and While
Cl mid.
These reinforcements number about 0,009 ef
fective troops, and will reach Lexington to-morrow
morning, the 19th.
Every confidence is felt here that Col, Mulligan
will be able to hold Loxington until reinforcements
arrive.
The Osage bridge, 11 miles from hero, on the
Pacific Railroad, is said to be the first point threat
eaed by Ben McCulloch’s forces, now believed to
be advancing rapidly from the southwest.
In our telegraphic oolumns, yesterday, we pub
lished the despatches which described the situation
at Lexington then, as follows:
Jefferson Citv, Sept. 17,1861.
Reliable news from Lexington up to Saturday
has been received, and shows that there had boon
no fight there up te that time, though the Union
troops had been summoned to surrender by Gen.
Price, whose army was 14,000 strong.
Gen. Pope will reinforce Lexington to-morrow,
the 18th, with 4,000 men.
A correspondent of the Republican says that re
liable information has been received that Lexing
ton still held out on Monday, and had been slightly
reinforced.
Jepfebsox Crrv, Sept. 18,1861.
The correspondent of the St. Louis: Dtviocrat
writes that we have no definite reports from L 935-
ington. but it is a settled faetthat that place is
invested by General Price with some 15,000 rebel
troops'- Good military authorities here are con
fident, however, that the United States troops there
have been reinforced, and that unless the place was
' c "r‘T i >1 iliiMi '*'

from
General Siegel at-ihj; battlo of Springfield.
A part of General Price's force is reported to be
fort; miles from this oity. His scouts hare been
seen fifteen miles from here.
" The St. Louis correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing under date of Sept, 15th, says ;
In the interior the rebels arc active, conducting
affairs in their own way in most cases, but occa
sionally meeting with a slight reverse. Up to the
time of writing we have no news from Lexington, j
but it is highly probable that place has fallen into
rebel hands, as on Tuesday last Gen. Price was at
tVarrensburg, with sixteen thousand men and fif
teen pieces of cannon. The Union force at Lexing
ton consisted of three thousand men, with entrench
ments strong enough to resist anything except ar- j
tiilery, but likely to fall before that possessed by |
the rebels. Gen. Lane is supposed to be in the j
rear of Price, with about three thousand men. The j
skirmish between Lane and Price in the vicinity of j
Fort Scott, and the retreat of the former, was an at- !
tempt to draw the rebels into an ambuscade. Fail- j
ing in that, the Kansas troops are following slowly j
behind their enemies, in the hope of being suffi- ;
ciently reinforced to offer battle. The position of
Martin Green, on the Missouri river, near Glasgow, ,
blockades that stream, and will keep it olosod until
the Union troops remove the obstruction. Two Go- |
rtrnment steamers, the Sunshine and another,.name
not given, have fallen into rebel hands, and will
probably be destroyed. St. Joseph was several
days under martial law, bv order of a rebel officer,
but I learn this morning that General Sturges has
arrived there and hoisted the stars and stripes.
The manner in which the rebels took possession
was rather amusing. Colonel Peabody’s Home
Guards were rather troublesome to the inhabitants,
and a deputation of the oldest and most honored
citizens requested their removal. Their request
was complied with by the obliging colonel, and the
next day the rebels entered and took possession.
The forces at Rolla and Jefferson City have lately
been strengthened, in anticipation of a demonstra- ;
tion against those points. An attack upon Ironton .
has been threatened, but so many threats have '
lately been made without a fulfilment) that a battle
there is not looked upon as imminent. The rebels
were at Sikeston a few days since, but are this
'morning reported as withdrawing to the southward.
Several prisoners from Hardee’s camp, who were
brought here on Saturday, report that there is much
disaffection in the rebel army, and that a Loui- .
sinna and a Mississippi regiment are on their way
home, with a determination to fight only in case of
aetual invasion of their own States. j
A correspondent of the Missouri Democrat ,
writing from Jefferson City, under date of Septem
ber 14. says:
Your readers may prepare themselves for stirring
tidings the coming week, liyLilts chicken, and we
hear the first faint mutterings of the coming storm,
which may already have broken over the heads of
the brave band at Lexington. Price, reinforced by
Bains, with 15,000 or 20,000 men, and Claib. Jack
son in their midst, to giro ft color of legality to their
proceedings, is advancing upon onrlines. Wherever
he goes the Secessionists flock to meet him, and arc
rapidly swelling his ranks. This army has got to
be fought and conquered; and if wo don't go out
to meet them there is every prospect that they in
tend to attack us.
What disposition of troops is being made to meet
this juncture of affairs, or precisely how it is in
tended to meet it, it is impossible to say; indeed,
in this military administration, nothing is possible
but conjecture, which, I suppose, is free to all. A
glance at tbo map, however, will show that Price
has thrown himself right between our lines, and ho
will have to fight whether he wants to or no. He
is now in the neighborhood of Lexington. In his
rear, near Fort. Scott, he has left Lane and Mont
gomery ; at Lexington there are 3,000 men well en
trenched, who can be reinforced by the whole army
of the northwest, from a point on the Hannibal and
St. Joseph Railroad, only forty miles distant; from
Jefferson City troops are heing thrown forward on
the road to Sedalia, while an advance of the force
at Rtlla will out off his only chance of retreating
in the dircotion from which he came—the south
west.
This is Fremont’s anaconda. A few days must
inevitably bring on a conflict, and if all these
columns are properly strengthened—as thero is no
other conjecture left but that they will be, for Fre
mont has the power to strengthen them all, except
Lane’s column, from St. Louis—the result cannot be
for a moment doubtful. Price wiped out, Jackson

Bishop Polk’s Defence of his Invasion of
Kentucky.
The Louisville papers of the 17th contain the let
ter of Bishop or General Polk, in which he defends
his invasion of Kentucky in the following language.
Starting out on the false and ridiculous assumption
that the Confederate States have a right to demand
from Kentucky cither her strict neutrality or her
active aid, on penalty of having her territory occu
pied by the Confederates, he complains that—
“ Since the election, however, she has allowed
the seizure in her ports (Paducah) of property of
citizens of the Confederate States; she has, by her
members in the Congress of the United States, voted
supplies of men and money to carry on the war
against the Confederate States; she has allowed the
Federal Government to cut timber from her forests
for the purpose of building armed boats for the in
vasion of tho Southern States; she is permitting to
be enlisted in her territory troops, not only of her
own citizens, but the citizens of other States, for the
purpose of being armed and used iu offensive war
fare against the Confederate States. At Camp
■Robinson, in the county of Garrard, there are new
ten thousand troops, if the newspapers can be relied
upon, in which men from Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois are mustered with Kentuckians, into
tfie service of the Untied States, and armed by that
IBILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1861.
Government for the avowed purpose of giving aid
to the disaffected in ono of the Confederate States,
and of carrying out the designs of that Oovernment
for their subjugation; ;
11 Notwithstanding all these, and other acts of a
similar character, the Confederate States have con
tinued to respect the attitude whioh Kentucky had
assumed as a neutral, and forborne from reprisals,
in the hope that Kentucky would vet enforce re
spect for her position on the part of the Govern
ment of the United States. Our patient expecta
tion has been disappointed, and it was only when
wo percoived that this continued indifference to our
rights and our safety was about to culminate in the
seizure of an important part of her territory by the
United States foroes for offensive operations against
the Confederate States, that a regard for selt-pre
servation demanded of us to soizeit in advanoe.
Wo are here, therefore, not by choice, hut of ne
cessity, and as I hnve had the honor to say, in the
communication addressed to his Excellency Gov,
Magoffin, a copy of which is herewith enclosed and
submitted as a part of my reply, at I now repeat
in answer to your request, that I am prepared to
agree to withdraw the Confederate troops from
Kentucky, provided she will agree-that the troops
of the Federal Government bo withdrawn simulta
neously, with a guarantee (which I wilt give reci
frocnlly for the Confederate Government) that the
ederal troops shall not be allowed to enter nor oc
cupy any part of Kentucky for the future.”
A Valuable Safeguard.
There are no inventors who are better entitled to
public gratitude and liberal remuneration than
those who contribute most effectively to prevent
the sacrifice of human life. This is a “peace”'
sentiment, we admit; but it will hardly be dis
puted in its application to casualties, such as that
which occurred at the Continental Theatre on Sa
turday evening, or the barrowing Jo* of life which
occasionally occurs by the edi
fices, or railroad cars filled withpasaengere. A
preventive against the latter—stjeast from its
chief source, the upsetting of starts—is now being
introduced on some of our roadiVwhich cannot bo
ioo highly commended. \Te rarer’ to the potent
“Railway Car-Heater and Ventilator,” invented
and manufactured by Mr. Jaipas Spear, of this
city. The presence of this ingenious stove, in every
instnn?? where its safety against fire by accident
has been tested, has established the reputation
claimed for it. So general' has this been, that we
ore surprised that they have not, before this, been
adoptod on all the roads. Our readers will remem
ber that some time last spring a baggage-ear
on the Pennsylvania Central was accidentally fired,
near Altoona, by the upsetting of a stove, and was
. consumed, with the baggage of some eighty passen
gers, together with the entire contents of the Great
Western mail. Similar accidents (overturning of
train!,) have occurred, in which the above-named
Heater and Ventilators were employed, without
fire being communicated to the ears in a single in
stance ; and, to insure greater safety, the latter, we
learn, have recently been introduced by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company in all of their baggage
and mail cars. Among other roads that have lately
adopted the same precaution, on their passenger as
well as baggage oars, are the Little Miami and Co
lumbus and Xenia, and the Hudson River roads.
A number of other roads, after giving them a trial
in a limited way, are also patronizing more freely
this great Philadelphia stove, and it seOms tons
that an article deemed of so much importance as a
protector of property the public have some right to
expect to be placed in ears more immediately af
fecting the BRfety of individual,;. The Adams Ex
press Company have also availed themselves ef this
valuable safeguard.
In passenger cars, the stove in question is no less
an improvement upon all others in use as a venti
lator, as it not only eecureß a more uniform tem
perature, hut induces also a constant influx of fresh
air from without, thus obviating the deleterious at
mesphere usually found in closed railway ears in
cold weather. For the benefit of those unacquaint
ed with the meohanioal peculiarities of this cele
brated stove, we may state that tfao double function
of heating and ventilating is thus ingeniously effect
ed : From the heater two pipes ascend to the top
of the ear, one enolosed Within the other, making
only the outer one viable, and requiring but one
opening in the top of the oar. These pipes are so
constructed that the smoke and gas from the Are,
and the interior of the ear, pass up the inner pipe
through a cross T ventilator, supplied with a funnel
covered with wire gattte at the ends, whioh, facing
front and rear, foSbes a volume of fresh-screened
air down the target pipe, which, In its passage in
Contact with the pipe and the surface of the stove,
becomes heated, andj through apertures, is passed
out near the floor, eausiagaeonstant circulation of
heated,, pure air, and ljooping the temperature of
the car eqnsl in every pfirt. The large outer-pipe
is supplied with a dampaS,by whioh the ingress of
air may according to eireomsbtnoes.
With proper attention to this, the complete comfort

mote, and the cold state uV-mu Biucajc cn-, 0 f
cars, being entirely obviated. These advantages,
and certain other improvements whioh the inventor
has recently added, bespeak for this stove the
prompt attention of railroad men, who, at this
time, when immense numbers aro daily entrusted
to their safe-keeping, on their way to defend our
country, should spare no pains in providing for the
comfort and safety of their passengers.
The Day of Humiliation. —The 26th inst.,
set- apart by the President as a day of national hu
miliation, is likely to be observed by all the reli
gious denominations. The fallowing has been is
sued by the Preachers’ Association of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, of Philadelphia, to the various
congregations under their charge in the city and
vicinity:
Dear Brethren : The President of the United
States, by request of Congress, and with becoming
reverence fer the supreme government of God, has
by proclamation recommended the observance of
the 26th instant as “ a day of public h\jßj!i<rtiCB,
prayer, and fasting for all thepeopieof the nation,”
that in this time of national trouble we may hum
ble ourselves before the Great Searcher of hearts,
and confess, with penitence, our manifold sins, and
reverently implore His blessing on our councils and
our arms.
We need not say to a people taught, as you have
been, to acknowledge God in all your ways, and
habituated as you are to the exercises of prayer,
that the intercessions of the Christian are the best
support of the labors of the patriot; and that iu
the resources of religion we shall find the firmness
of faith and elevation of hope which shall boar us
bravely and patiently through this struggle for the
perpetuation of the Constitution and the Union.
Cherishing a firm persuasion of the righteousness
of our cause., as that of law and order, aud main
taining a strong confidence in its ultimate success,
under the blessing of God, let us humble ourselves
before Him, meekly confess our sins as a nation and
as individuals, and around tho altars of our holy
religion seek to learn those duties He has given us
to perform, and, with uplifted hands, invoke the
Spirit to animate us in their discharge. It is not in
following the multitude to the house of God and
joining in services which neither the mind weighs
nor the heart feels that the solemn duties of that
day are to he performed; let us, therefore, lift
our thoughts to the God of all the earth, and, ac
knowledging his justice and wisdom in our national
calamities, seek, by the study of his providencs
therein, to learn the requisitions of his will.
It is too common that national fast days are but
indifferently regarded; it is mors lamentable that
the Church sometimes shares this indifference; but
if, when borne on the tide of prosperity and
oheered by the voice of peace in all our borders,
we have closed our gates against the God of the
nation, surely, now in the day of storm and battlo,
wo should not be slow to call upon bis name. Lot
us, then, as a Christian people, suspending all secu
lar business, assemble in our respective places of
worship, at least once, on that day, to offer fervent
supplications to Almighty God, and so deport our
selves throughout the day as to make it emphatically
what is designed—"a day of humiliation, prayer
and fasting.
Ad Poetas.
[From Hit- Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
0 brother bards, why stand ye silent All,
Amidst these days of noble strife,
While drum, and fife, and the fierce trumpet-call
Awake the land to life ?
Now is the time, if ever time there was,
To strike aloud the sounding lyre,
To touch the heroes of our holy oause
Heart-deep with ancient fire.
’Tis not for all, like Norman Taillefere,
To sing before the warlike horde
Our fathers’ glories, the great trust we bear,
And strike with harp and sword.
Nor yet to frame a lay whose moving rhyme
Shall flow In music North and South,
And fill with passion, till the end of time,
The nation’s choral mouth.
Yet surely, while our country rocks and reels,
Your sweetly-warbled olden strains
Would mitigate the deadly shock she feels,
And soothe her in hop pains.
Some knight of old romance, in full career,
Heard o’er his head the sky-lark sing,
And pausing, leant upon his bloody spear,
Lost in that simple thing.
If by your songs no heroes shall be made
To look death boldly eye to eye,
They may glide gently to the martyr’s aid
When he lies down to die.
And many a soldier, on his gory bed,
May turn himself, with lessened pain,
And bless you for the tender words you said,
Now singing in his brain.
So ye, who hold your breath amidst the fight,
Be to your sacred calling true;
Sing on! .the far result is not in sight
Of the gteat good ye do.

Cannon for the Government.
THE PROCESS OP BORING AND FINISHING THEM.
Messrs. Wilcox & Wluting, the machinists anil
iron-founders, who received tbo contract to furnish
the iron-work for tho Chestnut-street bridge, are
now engaged upon a sub-contract for supplying tho
Government with rifled cannon. We visited their
extensive works, at Ivaighn’s Point, yesterday, and
were witness to the process, which is of nnusnal
interest, and embraces the following operations :
First, the roughing out; second, tho baring;
third, the trunnion-turning; and lastly, the finish
ing.
The guns in their unfinished state, as they come
from the forge of the Phoenizville works, are about
eleven inches in diameter throughout their entire
length. They are made of the best quality of
wrought iron, and weigh about 1,800 pounds.
The mass of the gun consists of one course of
“staves,” surrounded by five courses of “wrap
ping.” The iron of which the staves are made
possesses peculiar hardness of texture. Its fibres
are arranged lengthwise, so as most effectually to
resist the wear occasioned by repeated discharges
of the weapon.
The object of having the wrapping to Surround
the staves transversely, or, rather, spirally, is that
it may serve the purpose of a hoop, to bind them
firmly together. They may thus be enabled with
more absolute oertainty to resist the Bhock of con
cussion.
The process of “ rcughingout ” hr performed-by
an ordinary turning-lathe, without producing the
slightest noise or perceptible jolting. So great is
the heat evolved by the attrition of the tool with
the eurfaes of the wrought iron, that a jot of oold
water has to be kept constantly trickling down upon
it, at the point of contact.
The cuttings of the iron are, many of them, of
extraordinary length, and serve to exemplify the
remarkable tenacity of the iron. We are assured
that iron “curls” have been produced upwards of
fifty feet in length. They are invariably of a spi
ral shape, and have some slight degree of elasti
city.
The boring is the mostdifiicuU of all tho Tarious
processes, and is done by a lathe, arranged ex
pressly for the purpose. The length of time thus
consumed upon each gun is never less than three
days.
The turning of tho trunnions is accomplished by
a third machine, also specially provided for the
purpose. The gun is held firmly in position,
while the two trunnions are being successively
turned. In this case, however, the chisels are
caused to revolve, and produce the most accurate
Centres by tbeir action.
By the finishing process, all the irregularities
upon the surface are removed, and a graceful curve
is imparted to the outline.
The guns are next bronzed, after which they are
ready to be returned to the Fhoenixville Works,
there to undergo rifling. We believe all the guns
which are to he rifled will have their grooves with
from nine to eleven spirals.
The gun in its finished state may be thus de
scribed : In weight it had been redueed from 1;850
to 899 pounds; from an almost shapeless mass of
iron, that, hnt for its color, would resemble a log
more than anything else, it has been developed into
the most beautiful and symmetrical proportions;
the bore is three inches in diameter; at the muzzle
end, instead of the usual angle, we see a semi
•lliptical terminus of the ohamber.
Although nominally a six-pounder, the gun will
carry a ball weighing ten pounds. The missile is
somewhat different from those heretofore employed
in the general sendee. It bears some resemblagg?
to the Minis ball, bong oblong and pointed like the
latter, and having an open chamber at its lower
end, with a border of soft metal. As the gun is
discharged, the gases generated in the chamber
cause this metal easing to expand and fit the groove
'With astonishing accuracy. Hence the precision of
aim, attainable; by weapons of the Mini* pattern.
'• Previous to being returnod to Phcenixville, each
'gun is minutely inspected by an officer of the
Government, and the slightest flaw at once con
demns it. In the discharge of a gun the greatest
shock occurs at the muzzle, and here it is that the
greatest strength and power of resistance is re
quired. ' If the muzzle of a gun be perfeotly
wrought, and without flaw, bo fears need be enter
tained of the weapon’s bursting. The inspection,
fit this point is consequently a matter of vital oon.
eern, and cannot he entrusted in too well ex
perienced hands. Upon its proper performance
may depend the lives of on entire corps of gunners,
or even the result of a well-contested battle.
-juanhinyry— o£ the vast establishment u
moved by a thirty-horae-powcr engine, of the Cor
liss patent, which, we may remark, is every day
coming "lore »«fi more into favor*
The Phoenimue iron company has reeeivea urn
contract for three hundred muzzle-loading rifled
cannon of the kind above described. Besides
Messrs. Willeox A Whiting, four other firms are
constantly engaged in boring and finishing them.
Of this city are Messrs. Wm. Sellers & Co., and
Matthews A Moore. The other machine-shops em
ployed in assisting to fill the contract are located
respectively at Norristown and Lebanon, Pa.
The Pboenixvtlle foundry has capacities for
turning out sixty of the wrought guns per week.
Messrs. Willcox & Whiting have thus far received
but three of them, the first having arrived on the
30th ult. They will bo able to turn out three guns
per week, and, if necessary, can prepare a larger
number, by employing both day and night hands.
It has been estimated (approximately) that
the price of each gun, when entirely finished,
will reach $3OO. The shot and shell to be used
with them will be cast at the Phoonixville foundry.
The cuttings from each gun are worth, it is said,
some thirty dollars , as the metal is of the very best
quality.
The machinery of the entire establishment is of
most massive, costly, and powerful description,
and when ia motion, we know of no more impressive
and awe-inspiring scene.

The Sunken Schooner,— lt will lie re
collected that, about a month since, the schooner
Lydia Ogden sunk, with a cargo of coal on hoard,
while a snort distance this side of Gloucester. The
sunken vessel, by a singular coincidence, was one
of those engaged in raising the ship John Trucks.
She is owned in Camden, N. J , and was com
manded by Captain Smith Fisher. As she sunk in
about thirty feet of water, and with a cargo of one
hundred and seventy tons of goal in her hold, con
siderable difficulty was experienced in raising her.
Yesterday the steamtugs Dolphin and Pacific
began the work, and have proceeded thus far with
much success.
Last evening they had managed to raise her upon
the fiats. It is anticipated that she can now bo
floated off by the tide, and will be probably cleared
to-day.
TnE New Treasury Notes are now seen
in every direction. They are to be had at the mint,
or can be obtained from most brokers. They are
of the denominations of $5, $lO, and $2O, and aro
beautiful specimens of bank-note engraving. A
limited portion only aro redeemable in Philadel
phia, as they are made payable on demand only
where issued. The brokers calculate to do a good
thing by sharing those notes that have strayed in
this direction from AVashington, St. Louis, nnd
New York. Among the tradesmen they will pass
at par. Their presence will have a favorable ef
fect upon business, as thoy will put more money
into the hands of the people, and, of course, in
crease exchanges. All the Government employees
will be paid in them, and they will be given out at
the arsenals, navy yards, and to the soldiers. They
are always as good as gold.
New Breech-Loading Gannon.—Mr. Jos.
11. Laming, of this city, but now, wo believe, a resi
dent of Camden, N. J., has invented an improved
breech-loading cannon, which bids fair to eclipse
the famous Armstrong gun, and which, it is said,
can be discharged at lepst five times as rapidly.
In the Armstrong weapon, tho breech is sorewed
into the chamber by means of a lever. This opera
tion necessarily consumes much valuable, time.
The improvement referred to, while embracing all
the advantages of the English gun, entirely obvi
ates this difficulty. For his own protection, Mr.
Laming has drawn up a specification, and made
affidavit thereto before an alderman of this city.
He has not, however, applied for a patent as yet,
but will de so at an early day.
Robbery on the 17th. —On the I«th inst.
the Council Chambers were courteously thrown open
to the public, that they might behold the scenes in
the Square, and hear the oration of Mr. Balias.
Certain persons retorted by pilfering all the mova
bles in the Chambers, inkstands, pens, sandboxes,
and paper. The desks of the reporters shared the
same fate.
The Mepical Colleges.— The regular course
of lectures at the different medical colleges through
out the city will commence during the early part
of next month. The number of students in attend
ance will probably not be as large as heretofore,
on account of the absence of those who- are resi
dents of the seceded States. This loss will, how
ever. be somewhat compensated for by accessions
fmii those States in whiob-Jlie wnr for the main
tenance of the Government is now being, waged,
the colleges in those States haring all been closed'.
The interior of the University of Pennsylvania,
in Ninth street, is being somewhat renovated and'
fitted up anew, preparatory to the commencement
of the regular course of lectures, on the second'
Monday of October During the last session at this
institution, there were in attendance from- the'
Southern States, including the District of Columbia,
192 matriculants; the number admitted from tho
State of Pennsylvania was 222, and from] Now Jer
sey 31; that from other Northern States Being
small..
During the session, which lasts until tbefirst of
March, 1862, clinical instruction will be givon in
tho Medical Hall. Tho dissecting rooms and-room
for operative surgery and the application of band-'
ages are now open, and will so remain during the
session. Connected with the University is a mu--
seum of groat interest and value, containing sped--
men skeletons of beasts and human beings, with l
accurate representations of the workings of different'
diseases in their incipiency and through their dif
ferent. stages. Many notable cariosities, which are
te be seen in the museum, would well repay a visit.
The Faculty of the Female Medical College aro
about seleoting a building more suitable for their
purposes, and in a better location. The colloge at
present is at No. 627 Arch street. No considerable
diminution in the number of matriculants during:
the coming session will be made.
All the members of the faculty of the Medical ;
Department of Pennsylvania College, (Ninth street,
below Locust.) have recently resigned their chairg.-
The reason assigned is a disagreement between the
faculty and the trustees of the department (con
trolling the college building,) in regard to the ex
penses of the institution, in view of the expected’
reduction of medical classes during the war. The
organization of this college is somewhat peculiar.: -
the Medical Department having been, for several
years, under tke control of two boards of trustees;
one, that of Pennsylvania College, located at Get
tysburg, and another board by whose aid the medi
cal college building was erected. It is the former
body that appoints the faculty, while the latter
holds possession of the property. It is possible that
a new faculty may be elected, but no announcement
has yet been made of the fact, and the probability
is that the college will remain closed for several
months.
At the Jefferson Medical College, Tenth street,
above Walnut, the regular course of lectures for
the session of 1861 will be commenced in a few
weeks Of the students attending this oollege last
year, many were from the South, and their absence
at the present session will considerably lessen the
usual number of the class. No improvements have
been made at the college, Dr. Keating, for soma
years Professor of Obstetricß in thisjmstitution, has
lately resigned on account of ill health. His place
is to be supplied immediately.
The Eclectic Medical College, situated in Race
street, between Fourth and Fifth streets, will be
formally opened on the second of October next.
One hundred and eighteen students attended the
lectures of the institution last year, of which num
ber only three were from the Southern States. The
faculty has no reason to expect a reduction in the
attendance next term. The building at present
occupied as the college is seventy feet front, and
contains three very fine lecture rooms, two large
museum rooms, a spacious amphitheatre, five dis
secting rooms, with chemical laboratory, apparatus,
etc. Among other members of the faculty is Pro
fessor E. G. Dalton, president of the Newark Col
legiate Institute. This college was organized in
1848 and chartered by the Legislature in 1853. Its
progress has been rapid, and it has never before
bees so prosperous as at the present time.
Enlargement of the Navy Yard. —Efforts
are being made to induce Government to purchaso
two properties adjoining the navy yard on the
south for the sum of $llO,OOO. The price is not
exorbitant, and if the scheme Bueceeds the nayy
yard will.be enlarged nearly one-half. A row of
good buildings upon the Front-street side of the new
property will answer for officers’ quarters and bar
racks. A fine lot, adjoining the navy yard on the
north, embracing theriverfrenttoWashingtonstreet,
and extending eastward to Front street, is also open
to purchase. If Government could be induced to
buy, the city would doubtless give up the right to
Church, Prime, and Swanson streets. Our navy
yard would then be one of the first in the oountry,
and the sparse quarters now allotted to nearly
two thousand workmen could be increased. The
place literally swarms with gangs of men, and the
present river front is insufficient for proper wharf
ing. It is probable that the lots south of the
navy yard will be bought within a few weeks.
Government Horses. . But few horses
have been bought for the Government within the
last few days at the stables in Hone street. The
horses are furnished by contractors, who send them
on to Washington, where they undergo a strict ex
amination previous to being branded. There are
fntemerons contractors in various parts of the city
-Who are now engaged iu baying in horses. Only
such animals are purchased-as theeontraetor thinks
will pass inspection. Thug they passa double exami
nation, and all those pronounced sound are of the best
material. The horses for Cdl. Chormann’s cavalry
regiment were inspected and branded with the
United States mark at the stables in Zane street.
These were examined by good judges, and were the
onlyones "purohaged: in this :eily directly for the
Government. All kinds of animals were-at first
brought to the contractors and offered for sale, and,
in some eases, bad purchases were made, but now
Disgraceful Fight —Two Men Stabbed.—
About 11 o'clock on Wednesday night some Ger
mans indulged in a political disoussion at a lager
beer saloon in Third street, near Callowhill. The
party became excited,. went into tho street, and
there engaged in a disgraceful Tow. A young man
named Schanreiber, residing, in Brook street, near
Brown, while attempting to restore peace, was
stabbed in (he left side of the neck. The wound,
though serious, is not dangerous. Solomon Mayer
was badly bruised about the face, and also received
a severe gash under.the left eye. He was arrested
by Officer Keel upon.tke charge of .having stabbed
Schanfeiber. Yesterday morning, there being no
evidence to hold him. he was discharged. The rest
of the rioters effected their eseape.
The South Gamden Ferry..—Since the
purchase of the Red Bank ferry boats Star and
Eagle by the Vnited.States Government, the South
Camden Ferry Company have been running two
boats between this city andKaighn’s Point. They
arc called the Union and Champion. We learn
that the steamer Girard is now on the ways at
Cooper’s Point, undergoing some necessary repairs
prior to being placed on this line. She will not be
completed for several weeks yet. Her timbers are
being taken out,, and her-main timbers -aud kelson
are being thoroughly overhauled; The company U
now in a prosperous condition, and the travel by
this route rapidly increasing.
The Irish Brigade at Oxford. Park.-.
The Irish Dragoons,, to bo attached to Thomas
Franois Meagher’s, brigade, will; be encamped at
Oxford Park to-day or Monday Colonel Gallagher
will command the Equadron,. and he has already
upwards of two hundred men enrolled! Wo notice
among the names of lieutenants that of Jes3e J.
Bowers, of Fox Chase, a son of Vulcan and of Mars.
The park will figure extensively in the history pf
recruiting for the war.
Attempt to Rob. —On "Wednesday. evening
an attempt was made to enter the dwelling house
at No. 355. South Twelfth street, oceupiedby a
ecuple of elderly lßdies. The attempt was unsuc- ■
cessful. The burglars hare visitedthe same place
upon two previous occasions. An impression had;
been taken of the look, and a key to the door was
thus obtained. The rascals also filled the lock.with
fine wire, which wasremovedwuhconsiderabledif
ficulty.
Kaighn’s Point.. —The steamboat DidQ, gf
the Federal-street ferny,.is now at Kaighn’s- Feint
undergoing some repairs in her machinery..

Row at the Baltimore Depot. —A. diffi
culty occurred at the Baltimore depot, Broad and
Shrine streets, about TO o'clock on Wednesday ni"ht,
witch, for a short time, threatened to result quite
seriously. A company of soldiers were waiting at
the depot previous* to'the starting of the traits for
Washington. A colored man named Hooper, who
is employed as a porter about, the building, was re
clining on a whrrlbsrncir.- awaiting the aiTiv.ilyf
the Continental Hotel l coach, when one of the sot
dierg struck Him, without any cause whatever.
Hooper remonstrated against snch conduct, when
he was again assaulted, and’ waa about to leave,
When he wa.vtold by some persons to remain, as he
was doing no more than attending to his business.
After thiffhe was* sot upon % twenty of the men,
and becoming greatly exasperated, commenced
dealing out heavy blows; right anti left. The sol
diers were reinforced, and cries-were made to hill
Hooper, and several' knives were drawn. Lieut,
Puller made his appearance, and 'fCnnd it necessa
ry to conceal Hooper, in order 1 to secure hie safety,
upon this the soldier3'commcnced to* search the de
pot, breaking doorß and doing serious damage to
the building. Hooper'was finally' obliged to effect
his escape .by meanauf'the roof, but the rioters con
tinued their violent demonstrations until midnight,
notwithstanding thdexertiens oFlAottt; Fuller, and
a posse of officers, ar.d thb dipot hands to restore
order. l The captain of the company'also made an
effort to get the men in- order; but whs unsuccess

The Reserve Gixvs at Diamond Cof
taoe. —Col. Ellmnker’s First Regiment of Reserve
Grays had a battalion.drill at Diamond Cottage,
North Camden, yesterday afternoon. The men
made a splendid appearance, and were warmly
eulogized by Gen. Frank Patterson, who reviewed
them. The General prtmenneed their movements
not inferior to those of any of the regiments in ac
tive service, and stated that In them ne had reason
to he proud of the Home Guard serviae. The
cleanliness of the troops was notieeable, and the
most difficult movements were made creditably.
A number of ladies and gentlemen oonvened to
watch the proceedings, and the ground is of a
character to exhibit in all their minutite the de
tails of the regimental drill. Gen. Patterson will
at once proceed to put the men in prime condition.
The Chops rat the Suburbs Farmers state
that the autumn crops are safe beyond 'perad
venture, and that no subsequent drought can do
them injury. Corn is rapidly ripening, and ears
for table are only procurable from corn planted late
for the purpose. The yield both of com and pota
toes will be a heavy one. The only crops that re
main unharvested after com and potatoes are taken
in, are buckwheat and rutabaga turnips. The
agricultural community ibis fall is a lucky commu
nity. Their bams will be- full to bursting, while
the prices will be snch that between now and next
spring many a long, lingering mortgage will be
stricken from the record.
Second Rhode Island REGIMENT.—This

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Philadelphia, Sept. 19,1861.
State fives fell off at the Stock -Board to-day to
76, and City loans to 85 for the old issues, and 921 '■
for the new. This is the natural consequencoof
.the popularity of the new National loan, to invest
in which has become an object with so many that a
pressure to realize upon old investments upon the
stock market is steadily maintained. The samo
causes influenced the whole stock ilist in ; & decline.
Misehill Railroad stock fell off sl* per share,
Pennsylvania Railroad I, Catnden and Amboy i,
North Pennsylvania Railroad Bix percent, bonds I.
Lehigh Navigation shares sold at 494; 'and Reading
Railroad stock at 17 81-100.*-
There is no Change t 4 ftpert in the money mar

seriptions to the new national loan, at the office-of
Jay Cooke & Co., have been extended.- The- sub

At Pittsburg, on Monday and Tuesday, Joshua.
Hanna, Esq., of the banking house- of Hanna,

The Citizens’ Bank 60,000
The balance was made up of .individual sub
scriptions, ranging from fifty dollars to ten thou
sand.
The Post, commending the loan to the people,
says;
If Louis Napoleon, when about,to enter upon the
Crimean war, an enterprise of vast expense and
questionable expediency, could throw himself upon
the patriotism of the people of France for five hun
dred millions of francs, and get double as much as
he asked for, surely the American Government, in
a struggle for life against a vast- and most wicked
rebellion, will not be allowed to appeal in vain.
But the appeal will be successful. . * *
The books will remain open thirteen days longer—
fifteen being the whole number given to the agent
here. APe should not like to see this community,
whi?b hag go deep & stake in,the unity and peace
of the country, stop short of one million.
The activity of the internal trade of the oountry
is strikingly illustrated by the enormously-increased
movement at the great centres. The receipts of
grain at- Chicago, in 1861, are nearly four times as
great as they were in 1859, and 50 per Cent, greater
than in 1860. The weekly deliveries in bushels, at
that port, since the commencement of the year,
compared with those of 1859 and 1660, have been
as follows:
1859 9,735,582
1860 22,866,088
1861 .33,214,304
The deliveries of grain at tidewater, through the
Brie Canal, from the opening of navigation to Sep
tember 7, have been upon a soale of, corresponding
magnitude, as will be seen from-the following com
parative statement for three years past. The flour
is reduced to bushels at the rate ef five to the bar

On the Pennsylvania Central Railroad.and it
feeders in the West the.trade is greater than ever,
and we hear only complaints in all directions that
the use ef the read by the Government,. and the
great pressure from the A?estern grain trade, makes
a scarcity of cars even with all the well-known
immense capacity of the railroad.
The lawsuit of the Minnesota, Mining Company
against the National Mining Company and James
M. Cooper, commenced in June, 1860, in the Dis
trict Court of the Upper Peninsula, for tho county
of Ontonagon, Mich., has lately been tried in that
court, hi 3 Honor Judge Goodwin presiding.. It was
brought to eject the National Mining Company from,
a portion of School; Section 16, on which are situ
ated the principal mining.grounds of said company,;
and was therefore one of; great interest and im
portance.
The Minnesota Mining Company claimed.title
under a patent of the United States, said patent
reserving upon its face the rights of Michigan to
the land in dispute. The National Mining Com?
pary claimed under a clean patent of the State of.
Michigan, whose title was acquired under the
compact admitting said State into the Union,
The cause was tried without a jury; the trial
was commenced on the 6th of Septembor, instant,
and concluded on the 9th following. On the morn
ing of the next day the Court delivered its deci
sion in favor of the National Company.. Thisis the.
fifth time that the title in dispute has boon before a
court of law. It was first tried before the Circuit
Court of the United States for the District of
Michigan, in an ejectment suit brought by Cooper,
in behalf ef the National Mining Company against
E. C. Roberts, who represented the National Com
pany, when judgment was rendered against the
title of the National Company. On a writ of error,
the judgment was reversed in the Snpreme Court
of the United States. The case was then tried
again in tho U. S. C. C. for the District of Michi
gan, when judgment was given in favor of the title
of tho National Company. Gn a second writ of
error, the judgment in favor of the National Com
pany was affirmed in the Supreme Court of the
United States. In addition to these trials ftt
law. two bills in equity have been heretofore filed
by the Minnesota Company against tho National
Company—on© in the W. S. C. C. for the District
of Miehignn, and one in the District Court of tiua.
Upper Peninsula, «,o county of Qntenagon,
both of which hnve been dismissed by the Minne
sota Company, the complainant.
Since the National Company was put iu possession
of the disputed tract, under the writ of possession
issued out of the United States Circjiit Court, they
have laid out on a portion of it the village of Web
ber. The title to this village site was aW covered
by the recent decision of his Honor G.oodw!n.
Such, we are informed, is the history in brief and
Bresent8 resent state of this litigation. At the late trial lit
ntonagOß, Theodore Romeyn, Esq., of Detroit,
appeared as counsel for the Minnesota Company,
and Samuel F. A'inton. Esq., of Washington eity,
and Alexander W. Buel, Esq., appeared
as counsel for the National Company.

city, are gradually finding a circulation. Thera is

The announcement of the suspension of specie
payment by the New Orleans banks has been look
ed for for some sime past, not ■as a financial neces
sity, but under an arbitrary order from the Govorn
■xnent. These banks hold some $14,600,000 in specie,
and have always been the strongest of the Southern
banks. This placer has undoubtedly been too at
tractive for the Confederate authorities, and they
have therefore ordered this step as the first to
wards bb eich&ngo of their gold' for Confederate
treasury notes.
The New York Evening Post, speaking of
money matters and the stook market in that city,
to-day, says:
The better feeling in the stock-market noticed
yesterday, is followed by considerable buoyancy
and activity to-day. The ease in the money market
and the more candid tone of the- English journals,
together with the strong position of the Federal
forces, have infused new life into the market, and
all stocks are in good demand at full prices.
The list of Government stocks is very firm, and
all the various issues are actively sought after by
investors. The Sixes of ISSI are }aj per cent,
higher, the Fives aat per cent.- There was no
change in Treasury notes.
There is no new feature in State -stocks. Ten
nCßsces, Virginias, and Missouris -are firm and
higher. The bonds of Georgia and North Carolina,
are also held for better prices.
There is a very pressing demand for Pacific Mail
stock. It closes at 84, which is a rise- of about 30
per cent, within a month. The large business of
the line and the removal of all apprehension in re
gard to privateers, are the chief causes of this ad
vance. It is reported that the present surplus
reaches 7 per Cent, on the capital stock, whioh in
sures the continuance of the plan-of paying 5 per
cent, quarterly dividends.
The relaxation in money is very marked to-day,
and there is every appearance of -the- rate on call
returning to five per cent, in a few days. Lender*
have made the most of the recent disturbance
growing out of the specie transfer to the Sub-Trea
sury, and unless Mr. Chase again calls heavily upon
the banks, money will go a begging at 4Ja5 per
cent. Some of the large moneyed establishments
are already trying to place round-amounts at 5 per
cent.
There is nothing unusual stirring at the Sub-
Treasury to-day. Subscriptions for 7.30 Treasury
notes are chiefly from persons of moderate means,
and continue numerous. The notes willbe ready
for delivery in a few days. Mr. Chase has begun
to supply the for about $5190(000 pro?
vious to the 19th of August, and a supply trill
next be sent to the New York Sub-Treasury.
Government-demand notes arc scarce and want
ed. An order for $5,000 has remained unfilled at
the sub-treasury for more than a week... The fives
are most inquired after.
It is reported, on the authority of one of the di
rectors of the Erie Railroad Company, that the
coupon on the fourth-mortgage bonds due on the
Ist of October will not be paid.
