thm. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1861 EXTRACT FROM THE LAST SPEECH OF STEPHEN A. DOPIP.LAS.—Li The conspiracy , to break up the Union is a fact now known to all. Armies are being raised, and war levied to accomplish it. There can be but two sides to the controversy. Every man must be on the side of the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war. There can be none but patriots and traitors." FOR SALE.—The double-cylinder “Tertoa" Pages on which this paper has been printed for the last nine months.

The North and the South. Those who imagine that in the present contest the traitors have been more suc cessful than our own troops, and that they have exhibited greater capacity for a pro tracted war than the friends of the Union, greatly misapprehend the true position of afrairs. It is true that we have encountered some sad reverses, and that we hare not ac complished all that we desired to perform. But there is a disposition to magnify the extent of our reverses and mistakes, and to undervalue the effect of our offensive operations, and the magnitude of our preparations for defence, which should be corrected. It should not be fbrgottcn that our enemies will never risk an important battle unless it is offered under such conditions as render their success almost cer tain. On all ordinary occasions their policy is to make retreat after retreat, until the pa tience of our troops is exhausted, or they arc enticed into extremely unfavorable positions. They have captured Fort Sumpter, won the battle of Manassas, and compelled Col. Men. lAG-kN to surrender, but on all these occasions their armies so vastly outn.umbered our own that their triumph was almost inevitable. .On the other hand, we can point to , the triumph of LYON at Booneville, the bril liant successes in Western Virginia, our triumphs in many minor skirmishes, our cap ture of the forts at Hatteras Inlet, our de struction of a number of their privateers, in eluding the recent dashing exploit at Pensa cola, our complete defence of the capital despite their vainglorious threats of capturing it, our . etheient blockade, our well-maintained line of forces along the Potomac, in West ern Virginia, in Kentucky, and in Missouri. It is evident, too, that every new day in creases our strength and weakens :our enemies. We are adding to the number and improving the condition of our men, and constantly obtaining new munitions and pow erful means of aggression, by land and by sea. Their power has already culminated, and every hour diminishes it. Few new recruits can be obtained for their armies and - the means of supporting and equipping them are consumed much more rapidly than they can be produced or replaced. Whenever the cur tain which hides the real state of affairs in the South from our view is partially withdrawn, a frightful picture of destitution and misery is disclosed to us. The people of their seaboard cities are living in daily dread of at tacks from powerful combined naval and land expeditions against which they have no efficient protection, and with their trade almost entirely destroyed, and every man com pelled to perform military duty, their condi tion is inconceivably deplorable, , The people of their rural districts:, having no market for their products, and no means of supplying most of their numerous wants, are reduced to a semi-barbarous state, and the dread of ser vile insurrections constantly thrills them with 11011 Dr. They are rapidly realizing the terrible realities of their position, and it would not be surprising if a fearful rebellion against the re bellion should break out even in the heart of the South. ALL THE IMPORTAFT NEWS WC have recently received from the South indicates that a strorg latent Union feeling still exists there. In Charleston, in New Orleans, in North Caro lina, and in Virginia, there are many who keenly realize that their only hope for future prosperity must be based on the complete re establishment of the authority of the National Government ; and that the privations and suf ferings they are now compelled to endure are but the precursors of greater misery while the conspirators persist in their wicked and insane rebellion. Tin: SENSITIVE and tender-footed gentlemen who are so fearful lest the RepUblienn and Democratic organizations may be broken up because of the strong popular disposition to serve the country first, should remember, if they consent to put aside their old etage machinery and properties, and behave themselves well, that after the war they can resume their original positions, and enter upon a fair division of the spoils as heretofore. TILE eloquent letter of J. MURRAY RUSH; Esq., nominated for the Assembly on the Citizens' Union Ticket, in the Fourth District of this city, an extract of which was published in TRY PRESS yesterday, is so full of patriotic inspiration, and of courageous determination to support the Administration in the vigorous prosecution of the war, that we hope there will be no doubt about his election. The high character of Mr. RUSH, his marked abilities, and the fact that lie would be compelled to surrender many of his own personal interests in order to serve the people, will, we hope, in duce all the loyal men of the district to throw their votes for him on Tuesday next. Sixteenth bihttiet of rtulattolpbm. Mr. ROBERT P. DE SILVER, 1101111CSbUrg, has accepted the nomination, for Assembly, of the Citizens' Union Convention. His letter of acceptance, clearly defining his platform, is a straight-forward and vigorous declaration of principle, and appears in another column. Of Democratical principles (his first vote having been cast for ANDREW JACKSON for the Presi dency), W. Da SILVER 18 a thorough Union man, adhering to the grand Democratic tradi tion of following and supporting the national flag, wherever it may wave. He will not be long to a peace party in war, nor to a war party in peace. He is for the country, right or wrong—and, in the present issue, he knows the country to be right. On next Saturday evening, at a public meet ing at Frankford, Col. Joan W. FORNEY, of Tar PRESS, will address his fellow-citizens, in oxplanatiOn and Btiktrort of the principles avowed in Mr. DE SILVER'S letter, accepting the nomination for Assembly. Yorktown From various sources the information reaches us that considerable bodies of the surgent troops have recently been sent to Yorktown. The object of this movement is not clearly explained. The enemy may de sign to make that famous and once flourishing locality a basis for offensive operations, Or they may consider it necessary to strengthen it as a precautionary measure against an ad vance of our troops from Fortress Monroe. Yorktown was, in the Revolution, the theatre of one of the most important events of Ameri can history, and may again become the scene of a grand episode of plc: present contest for the preservation of the noble Government which was established by the sacrifices and wisdom of our patriotic ancestors. It is situ ated on the right bank of York river, eleven miles from its mouth, and seventy miles E. S. E. of Richmond. No SY;NIFICANT lICW movement oecurriA the line of the Potomac yesterday. Our troops are apparently preparing for an ad vance, but determined to !act cautiously, and to fulfil General MCC LEJ.I.A.N'S prophecy, that tic should "have no more Bull Run affairs." A 1:1-!SOLUTION reque,tiog BRIWKINRIDGE and POWELL to resign their seats in the United States Senate was adopted in the Kentucky Senate yesterday, by a vote of 20 to 5. WE ARE AUTHORIZED TO STATE THAT DANIEL DouGnEnry, Esq., and JOHN W. FORNEY, Edi tor of Tut: PRESS, have accepted an invitation of the Republicans and loyal Democrats of West Chester, and will speak on the issues of the day at Horticultural Hall, in that borough, on Monday evening next. WE ARE gratified to state that there is every prospect of the election of Hon. JAMES Nim., as President Judge ika tnpludicial district com posed of the counties of Franklin, Fulton, Bedford, and Somerset. This will be a de served tribute to an incorruptible citizen, and a steadfast opponent of the Southern rebellion. LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL." WA, , ILINGTON, October 1. 1861 The inner life of this campaign in the loyal States, as well as in the great camps swarming with heroes, is a most suggestive study. The elements enlisted are so various, so unusual, and, in all respects, so wonderful, that when the historian comes calmly to investigate them, he will be startled at the magnitude of his un dertaking. If a list of the distinguished men —men of intellect, position, and wealth—scho lars, inventors, mechanics, and farmers—men who have left the allurements of home, the fascinations of society, and the temptations of ambition, now serving in every capacity under our flag—could be published, it would excite universal amazement. They are not forced levies, driven, like dumb beasts, by military tyrants to strengthen despotic rulers, but a free heart-offering from the body of the people—volunteers in every meaning of the term. It is a common thing to encounter men wearing the uniform of privates, who, in their own communities, wield the largest influence. Of course, the great mass of our army is made up of thoso who en joy few of the advantages conferred by wealth, but the happy effect of comming ling with the troops such elements as I have referred to cannot lie overestimated. When the man whO feels_ that his family is being supported by the generous people of his own vicinage can hail as his fellow-soldier one Whose', example he has folloWed and Whose counsel he has taken in the walks of private life, he feels elevated and encouraged to en counter all the privations and dangers of the campaign. The departments are daily be sieged -by young :men of fortune anxious to accept any position in the army, and General McClellan is constantly appealed to by the very flower of our Northern youth for oppor tunities to risk their lives against the common enemy, I saw on the street, otily, yoSterday, a gentleman, the heir of one of the most opulent estates in Pennsylvania. He had Volunteered among the three-months men as a private, and, after returning to his luxurious home, found the military ardor so strong upon him as to be unable to resist the inclination to e-enter the army. But there is another feature which, although not publicly displayed, is even more signifi cant—l allude to the incessant exertions of my fair countrywomen. No just idea tan be `given of the immense good they are doing. We hear much of SecessiOn ladies, and of their efforts to inspire their husbands; fathers; sons, and brothers, to attack the Constitution and the Union, and some of those delicate crea tures in-Washington seem to court martyrdom for the sake of showing their sincerity in a bad cause. Protected by their weakness, they and their,families have taken advantage of the respect entertained by brave men for the gentler sex, and they therefore heap oppro - - brium upon the friends of the Government in I civil and in military life. In the city - of Balti more they become the representatives of their : husbands, who dare not sow the seeds of 'dis cord among the people, and make their ai . ) petwanee on the streets, seeking every occasion to show their contempt for their own country. A Singular contrast is presented by the de portment of the women of the loyal States. - - Their attachment to the Republic is a pro found religious attachment. Shrinking from everything like notoriety, and charaCteristically averse to all participation in acrimonious con. - troversy, they address the Divine Being to veuchsafe his blessings upon our arms, and occupy, not only their leisure hours, but even the time heretofore given to other duties; in providing for their brave countrymen in arms ; such necessaries and luxuries as they require. Industrious in their respective wards and dis tricts, they not only look after the families of the volunteers, not only watch over the wives and children of these gallant men, but solicit subscriptions for the purpose of enabling them more effectively and generously to carry Out their great mission. There is scarcely a vil lage in the free States in which theSe glorious women are not engaged in this holy work; and if the truth could be told, there is not a regiment that is not under obligationS to them. Apart from the individual con tributions, such as gifts sent forward by the wife to the husband, the sister to the brother, the sweetheart to the lover, the donations of organized societies of ladies are as constantly forwarded'asthey are constantly liberal. What a record hiss Dix, who may be called the Executive of the ladies of the_ loyal States, in our great struggle againstthe aristo cracy of the South—what a record, I say, she will be enabled to leave to the historian ! If the enormous amount of apparel, of medicines, of food, tte., sent forward by these noble wo men, could be specifically set forth in a news paper, it would put to the blush many of the sterner sex, who, while professing to be ener getic and true, arc too often content .with words rather than works. Such are two phases of the inner life of this great struggle, which I have thought might not be uninteresting, if thrown into a chapter among the reflections of OceAstos An Important Decision. Judge BETTS delivered, on Monday, an im portant decision in the 'United States District Court, at New York, in regard to the condem nation of twelve prize vessels captured by our blockadino. fleet. The New York World, in commenting upon it, says : The question for the court to decide was whether the President has power to defend the Government against an aggressive war waged for its extermina tion by internal enemies, and if so, what relations the belligerent parties and neutrals respectively sus tain to each other. Much stress was laid, in the trial, on the want of an open declaration of war previous to acts of hostility. Judge Betts decides, on the strength of an imposing array of authorities, that the oniilsion of a declara tion, especially in a defensive war, cannot affect its validity. He holds that the ex ecutive has a clear right to protect the Go vernment against the attempts of internal enemies to overthrow it, and that, under the law of nations, the rights incident to a state of war arc precisely the same as if it were waged against an independ ent nation. Judge Betts exposes, as a foolish sub tlety and abstraction, the notion that the Govern ment is composed of separate parts, each sovereign in itself ; but he, at the same time, shows that there is no force in the argument, much insisted on in the trial, that a nation cannot blockade its own ports. Ife holds that, while the rebels still owe complete allegiance to the United States, their acts of hostility put them in the position, and subject them to the treatment, of aliens and foreigners, as much as if they were citizens of the various States of Mexico and South America." THE LETTERS Of the Richmond correspond ents of the Kew Orleans journals state that rebol spies have continued to be as active and stealthy as ic Crows or Blackfeet Indians," a comparison Which is more expressive than complimentary to the miscreants who lurk among us for the purpose of assisting the traitors who are in arms against their country. Our statement that dissensions had broken out among the conspirators at Richmond, in re gard to the policy they should adopt, is also confirmed, and one party has strongly favored while another has opposed an attack upon the capital. TILE COMMUNWATION in defence of the Rev. Dr,DEWirr, of Harrisburg . , signed " One of the Hearers," Which we print in another co lumn, vindicating him against the charge which appeared in a late telegraphic despatch, that, in his sermon on fast day, he had declar ed that the North had violated their cove nants with the South, and Were responsible for the crisis with which the country was con vulsed," is from an influential and worthy gentleman, and we publish it with all the more pleasure, because we could not believe that so patriotic a divine as Mr. DEWITT could have given utterance to a sentiment so revolting and-unjust. - Public Amusements.

NO CHANGE IN TUE POSITION OF TILE FEDERAL ARMY. ALL QUIET ALONG THE UPPER AND LOWER POTOMAC An Important Movement on Foot. WHERE WILL THE REBELS ATTEMPT TO CROSS THE POTOMAC STATEMENT OF ANOTHER CONTRABAND The Reason the Rebels Retreated. FROM MISSOURI. THE CREEK AND CHEROKEE IN DIANS JOIN THE REBELS. Chief Ross Succumbs to the Secession Pressure Wily BEN IIIaTLLOCH RETREATED INTO ARKANSAS. Special Despatches to 66 The Press." Where will the Rebels: Attempt the Po- tomac I The reports wo have received concerning the points at which the rebels intend to cross the Tote mic are various and contradictory. All know and feel that military strategy is but the appliance of military science to existing facts. These facts em brace localities, the position of the enemy, his means of transportation, his facility for retreat in ease of defeat, and the rapidity of advancing large bodies of men upon weakly-defended points. It is evident to the plainest common sense that the Potomac cannot be crossed at any point be tween Fort Washington and the Great Falls, em bracing all the positions immediately in front of Washington, and above and below it for a number of miles. The object of the enemy, then, must be to cross, if they attempt it at all, either below or above this impregnable line of defence. Should they succeed in crossing, despite the Po tomac flotilla under Commander taillte, at Free stone Point, the mouth of Occoquan, at Acquia Creek, or at any other point below Washington, with a large number of men, how could they con vey horses, cannon, heavy munitions of war, wagons, and tent equipage across in sufficient quan tity or numbers so as to constitute a force sufficient ly formidable or powerful to take the field, and ad vance upon Bladensburg. Annapolis, or Baltimore ? Their means of crossing the river consist simply of old-fashioned flat-bottomed scows, a few light river craft, and some very small, indifferent steamers, in capable of transporting a force of any numbers, cannons, munitions of war, etc., except in the most limited and time-consuming manner. ;rF But suppose that process should succeed in plant ing forty or fifty thousand rebels in the narrow pe ninsula lying between the Potomac and Chesapeake bay, these would have to march over most difficult and rough roads for more than two days, ere they could reach any assailable point upon our rear, with their own rear perfectly unprotected, and a wide, deepriver to cross in case of disaster. Under such circumstances, an advance upon Bladensburg, An napolis, or Baltimore, by the rebels, would be a ho locaust—a hecatomb; for they would be outnum bered by men in fortified positions, even if the re mainder of their forces made a simultaneous feint, or series of feints, upon the positions in front of Washington. The Potomac, from Point of Rocks, twelve miles below Harper's Ferry, to Cumberland, following the line of the river, more than a hundred miles above, is guarded only by a line of sentries, em bracing a force of not more than five thousand men all told. Throughout this whole line, there are abundant fords over which we have passed wagons, cannon and soldiers. These fords are, in but ex. ceptional cases, not even guarded by cannon on our side. The enemy, therefore, according to all the doctrine of chances, all the law of probabili ties, will seek to force our lines whore most weakly defended. By forcing them at Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown, Seven Springs' Ford, or Williams port—all practicable fords, especially the three latter, for all the appliances of war—they can cap ture Hagerstown, and advance directly upon Mc- CLELLAN'S rear in a single day's march to Fre deriek, and thence menace Baltimore ;"or they can rapidly push up the Cumberland valley into Penn sylvania—a valley less susceptible of defence than any other in the State, because of its width and level surface. The latter mode of advance would raid the richest valley in the State, exhaust its wealth, threaten Harrisburg, and menace Philadel phia. That MCCLELLAN fears an attempt of the kind alluded to, and that he has penetrated the design of the enemy to advance either in the Frederick- Baltimore direction or the Hagerstown-Chambers burg direction, is clear from the fact that he is gradually extending his right wing on the Virginia side of the Potomac toward Leesburg. By such a westward movement he seriously menaces any flank movement the rebels can make in the direction named, whilst he is in readiness to advance from Alexandria, Arlington Heights, the Chain Bridge, and Great Falls upon their Manassas base of opera tions. General Bancs must checkmate any such movement by a rapid march westward, and offer those who cross, if cross they do, battle upon any terms. The gage of battle once thrown down by them to him must be accepte don any terms, and fought a la entrance. If our facts, and reasoning therefrom, be correct, General BANES holds the post of danger, and there fore of honor. America expects him to do his whole duty. Henry S. Magraw. Information received here last evening from Richmond induces the hope among the friends of Hon. HENRY S. MAGRAW, of Pennsylvania, that he will be released to•day or to-morrow. Electioneering Among the Troops, We understand that a number of the Breckin ridge leaders are now in this city, begging for passes, in order to get into communication with the Pennsylvania troops, so as to induce the latter to throw their votes for the different Breckinridge tickets in Philadelphia and throughout the State. It is to be hoped that the officers of the various regiments and companies will be on their guard against these political managers. Military Appointmentg. The following appointments for the volunteer service were made to-day : MELANCTDON S. WADE, of Ohio; LOVELL II• Roussnax, of Kentucky; and ALVIN Scuonro, of the District of Columbia, (late examiner in the Pa tent Office,) to be brigadier generals. Major 'lux; United States artillery, has been appointed an aid to General MCCLELLAN, with the rank of colonel. Captain COPPINCER, an English officer, late in the Pupal military eitrvice, has been eenemissioned a captain in our volunteer service, on the recom mendation of his Holiness the Pope. This makes the fifth European monarch who has recommended officers for service in the United States. The lsiochaile of reasacola Bay. The latest adyices from Fort Pickens state that the !dockside of Pensacola Bay is now strictly en forced. Ex-Mayor . Berret The friends of ex-Mayor BERRET say he has gone to New York, proposing to reside there during the continuance of the present troubles. Position of the Rebel Forces It is satisfactorily ascertained that the rebels have not lately sent any of their forces to the Upper Poto mne. They have merely retired farther back into Virginia. Their lines extend from Om:quail and Manassas to I'ntrfax Court House. Manassas obvi ously being their base of operations. The Kentucky Cavalry. The Kentucky Cavalry Regiment is still without an officially recognized colonel. A petition is in circulation recommending Lieut. Cul. OWENS for the command. Prince SALE[ SALn was some time ago appointed - , but, at his own request, a change has been made, and he is now attached to Gen. BLENKEICS staff. Naval Court of Inquiry. A court of inquiry, corapoAed of Captains LAVA LETTE. PENDERG HAST, and Mounts, was opened to-day at the Navy Yard to examine the conduct of Commander CH AN D LER. of the steamer Dawn. tirEo. ESTON, &q., acting as Judge Advocate. Egen . pe of a Rebel Prisoner It has been ascertained that IIowELL, alias Ennew, alias EmEnicK, alias AnnisoN, &c., who stabbed Mr F. W. WALKER, the correspondent of the New York ExpreNs, has made his escape into Virginia, through the aid afforded him by his Secession friends in Maryland. The horse and equipments taken from him by WALKER are in this city. The latter is recovering from his wounds. From the Lower Potomac This morning, the steamer Tsland Belle came up with the propeller Dawn in tow, that vessel having been injured by running aground at Ma thias Point, last week. The Mond Belle reports all quiet down the Po tomac, no firing from the rebel batteries having occurred since last Thursday. The steamer B. B. Forbes, whose eccentric movements attracted so much notice recently, has taken on her powder and armament and is again ready for service. The Upper Potomac. Information received to-rlight from Gan. 13111:11i0' column represent* all quiet on the upper Potomac. Capt. Ingalls, quartermaster of the army in 'Vir ginia. has been promoted , to a lieutenant colonelcy, and attached to Oen. McClellan's staff. Position 'of the Forces in Eastern Vir- There has been no change in the position of the Federal troops on the Yirginia side since yester- day. The rebel pickets still occupy the lower end of the village of Falls Church. The troops of neither army are in possession of Lowinsrille. Our pickets extend only to Langley from the Chain Bridge. Langley and Lewineville aro three miles apart. A reconnoissance was made to-day by the Blo cart Regiment to Pohick Church and vicinity, about twelve miles from Alexandria, to the left of Spring field Station. They found the rebel encampment entirely deserted, and nothing indicating their pre. sone° in that neighborhood. A contraband came into our lines this morning, near Falls Church, and was taken to the head quarters of General MCDOWELL, at Upton's 11111. Be stated that he wee the servant of the surgeon of the Fifteenth Georgia Regiment, whioh was en. camped, together with two other regiments, four miles from Falls Church, on the road leading to Fairfax Court House. Ile also said that there are no rebel troops there, excepting those just mention ed ; neither were there any fortifications this side of Fairfax Court Homo. lie gave as a reason for the recent precipitate re. treat of the rebel army, as mentioned by officers in his hearing, that they were fearful of a flank move ment by the Federal army from the direction of Lewinsville; that ho had heard his master, the surgeon, soy, on Thursday last, the fortificativas vu the river below Washington were very extensive, and that Beauregard had given orders to close the navigation of the Potomac to our vessels. Escaped from Richmond. Two prisoners, named KELLY and Dortotto, of the Sixty-ninth New York Regiment, and a private from another regiment, escaped from Richmond and reached the Potomac in safety. They were brought up to the navy yard. They add nothing of importance to previous intelligence, farther than an impression, gathered from conversations hoard, that all of the Federal prisoners there wore to be removed down south, under an impression that the city of Richmond might have to he surrendered to Our army. TILE KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE Senators Breekinridge and Powell Re quested to Resign . FRANKFORT, Ky., Oct. I.—At the afternoon ses sion of the Senate, yesterday, Senator Whittaker offered a resolution requesting John C. Brockin ridge and Lazarus W. Powell to resign their seats as Senators in Congress, as they do not represent the will of the people of Kentucky. If they decline to comply, the Senate of the United States is respectfully requested to investi_ gate their conduct, and, if found to be in opposition to the Federal Government, that they expel them from their seats. It was passed by a vote of 20 yeas to 5 nays, and sent to the House, which ad journed without action. This morning the resolution came up as un finished business in the House, and a suspension of the rules to consider it was refused by a vote of 10 against .1;0. AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI. SECESSION OF THE CHEROKEE NATION. CHIEF JOHN ROSS SUCCUMBS TO THE SE. CESSION PRESSURE. Sr, Levis, Oct. I.—Rev. Mr. Robinson, a mis sionary teacher in the Cherokee Nation, has arrived in this city. He reports that Chief John Ross has finally succumbed to the Secession pressure. On August 20th he called his council together at Tale quah, and sent in a message recommending the se verance of their connection with the 'United States, and an alliance with the Southern Confederacy. The Council approved of the recommendation, and appointed commissioners to make a treaty of alliance with the Southern Government. The Confederate commissioner assumed the payment of the annuities heretofore received by the Cherokees from our Government. The Creek Indians have raised 1,000 men for service in the Confederate army, and the Chero- kees have formed a home guard 1,200 strong. It appears that the troops sent into Arkansas by Ben McCulloch, after the hattle of Springfield, were posted on the border of the Cherokee Nation to intimidate the Council and force John Ross to yield to the demands of the rebels. Colonel St. George Cooke, of the Utah forces, arrived to-day. His regulars, 600 in number, will reach Fort Leavenworth in three or four days. JEFFERSCN CITY, Oct . I.—(Special to the St. Louis Democrat.)—The boiler of a locomotive, while standing on the Pacific Railroad track at Tipton. exploded yesterday morning, scattering some of the fragments to the distance of a quarter of a mile. The engineer and fireman were standing on the box and two or three regiments were near, but for tunately nobody was hurt. ]firs. Fremont arrived here, from St. Louis, this afternoon, and was received at the depot by the General and his staff, and a detachment of sixty of his body-guard, and escorted to the camp. Gen. Fremont receives numerous visitors daily, who desire him to send a regiment to this place and that in the interior, for the protection of Union men's property; but ho is obliged to disappoint all such applicants, as he is determined to send out no more small bodies of troops, to be surrounded and taken prisoners. He is going to strike altogether this time. When Price and the main body of the rebel army is annihilated, he wiU then see to the protection of every Union man in the State. Gen. Smith, adjutant general of the State, is here, hard at work, issuing commissions to the officers of the State forces organizing under Governor Gam ble's call. He gives assurances that the 42,000 volunteers called for will be obtained without trouble. [special to the St. Louis Republican.] Booneville, Glasgow, Sedalia ' anti Georgetown were reputed quiet at the latest accounts; but it is not improbable that we may hear, at any time, of a skirmish between our own and the rebel pickets at the latter place, as Price's men are said to he in that vicinity. The reconstruction of the telegraph line to Sy racuse, Sedalia, and Georgetown will be com menced to-morrow, by order of General Fremont. A party of sixty rebels, from Lexington, plun dered the Lunatic Asylum at Fulton, Calloway county, a day or two since, of 500 blankets, all the bedclothes, and a number of socks, giving as an ex cuse that the asylum belonged to the State, and they had a right to the property. General Pope has not yet left, as previously re ported, but is anxiously awaiting orders to take the field. From Cairo CAino, Oct. I.—The troops sectioned at IN'orfolli hare been ordered to retire to Bird's Point. There are reports circulated to the effect that General Polk, with 20,000 men, is taking possession of Maysville, Ky. Things are quiet here and at Paducah. LATER FROM EUROPE. The Bohemian at Father Point. FRENCH OFFICERS NOT ALLOWED TO JOIN OUR ARMY. Return of the Great Eastern. ADVANCE IN COTTON AND DBEADSTUFF% FATIMA POINT, Oct. I.—The steamship Bal e nian. from Liverpool on Thursday the 10th ult., via Londonderry on the 20th, passed this point about 2 o'clock this afternoon. She wasinter cepted by the news yacht of the Associated Press. The steamship Hibernian, from Quebec, Mired at Liverpool on the 10th. The French Government refuses to allow their officers to join the United States army. The steamer Great Eastern has arrived at Liver pool. The gale which she encountered and which dis abled her was of a fearful character. Over twenty five of her passengers sustained fractures by con , oussious, occasioned by the tremendous rolling of the ship. The accident is mainly attributable to the breaking of the rudder. The Bohemian has 175 passengers. She ex perienced strong head winds on the passage. She reports meeting, on the 22d September, the steamer Korth American. bound for Liverpool. The steamship labor/dam, from Quolioo, arrived at Liverpool on the 17th ul. THE DISASTER TO THE GREAT EASTERN Further details of the disaster to the Great _East ern. indicate that the calamity entirely arose from the breaking of ber rudder. The scene on board the vessel was fearful in the extreme. Everything breakable on board was broken. The ship rollea so violently that her boats, although placed thirty or forty feet above the water, wore washed away. Twenty-five persons sustained fractures from con cussions, and cuts and bruises were innumerable. Hardly a vestige of the paddle wheels remained. After three (lays of intense anxiety a temporary steering gear was constructed and the ship pro ceeded towards Queenstown. When the Persia, in answer to signals from the Great Eastern, ap proached the latter, circumstances were such that the Great Easter/PA. engines could not be slack ened, and the Persia made off, probably under the impression that foul play was intended. At a meet ing of the passengers the exertions of Capt. Walker to save the ship and those on board were warmly eulogised, but severe comments wore passed upon the condition of the ship, the strength of her pad dles, and the way in which she was ballasted. As the rudder was sufficiently repaired, the ship would piocced to Liverpool soon. ENOLAND The St. Leger race was won by Callevour, beat ing Kettle-Drum by a head only.

It also takes dye much better than American. The Times also, in some speculations on the cotton question, adduces evidence to show that so far from American cotton being arbiter of England's destinies, her emancipation from all need of it is perhaps simply a question of eight or nine millions of pounds sterling.

COMMERCIAL.—Dusiness remains almost as last re ported, There have been large operations in coffee and sugar, but there has been no quotable change or im portant sales since the last express.. The most exciting topic of discussion in San Francisco within the last three days, grows nut of a discussion which took place at a session of Presbyterians, on a vote touching the duty of the clergy to declare themselves ou the aide of loyalty and against rebellion, and preach loyal Mietriner to their ennpvenaticine. Dv. W. A. Scott ; of the Calvary Church, alone Toted against die resolution, and protested against its adoption, because he believed the action of the late General Assembly on the state of the country, in adopting the Spring resolutions, exceed ingly mischievous and erroneous. He agreed in the main with the protest of Dr. Hodge, and the farther defence of the same doctrine made in the late Prince too Reciete. Ire did not believe the Assem bly had any right from the Holy Scriptures front the standard of the Church, to interfere with civil or political questions. There were other grave reasons why he could not approve of the action o the Assembly, but he could not consider it proper to give them in an ecclesias tical and spiritual body. The posit a.umed by Dr. Scott has revived the charges against him of sympathy with Secession, and raised much feeling in the corn notnity. Threats were made of mobbing his church the next time services were held, and the police were detailed to prevent any such outbreak. Some of the newspapers have covertly encouraged the mob spirit, but the more influential earnestly advised that Dr. Scott be left in the hands of his congregation, who are mostly Union men. • - - • Judge John McHenry, fornferlY of the Fifth MONO Court of New Orleans, was arrested at San Francisco yesterday, on complaint of a soldier in the 'United States seryice. Ife said the Judge had been trying to induce him to desert and join a party who were going where he could do better. Not much importance is attached to this affair, but it only shows the general sensitiveness prevail' here n the war .rueation. Tlie Lot Angrbl Mar, of September 10, complains that 11 rorremmaont, Writing from Log Augotog to tl Sall Francisco paper, hail misrepresented and greatly exag gerated the number and doings of the Secessionists in the southern counties.

The officers of the law require the presence of a military three and the aid of a posse, to enable thorn to bring the outlaws who at present have thrown thein selves on the country. In this way the military can be useful, hut the foolish parade of riding over the country in search of Secessionists is not only exceedingly harass ing to the men, but pesitivolysletrimental to the interests of our country.

HARRIMICAIII. liopt, 30, 18111, To TM; EDITOR Gl• TOP: There appeared in your paper of to-day n communicabion from Har risburg, making statements in regard to Rev. Dr. De Witt. Your correspondent quotes this sentence, purporting to be a sentence ettored by Dr. D., in his address on fast day: 4 . The North lost ei,1„, ( 1 their covenants with the t oath, and were responsi ble for the crisis with which the country was con ulsed.'' As this is an erre", and calculated to mislead, I would rovectfully wk to correct it in your cot mans. Dr. D commenced his remarks, which were ex 'temporaneous, by endorsing in the strongest lan guage the President and Administration in every measure they had. adopted. le denounced the re bellion as wicked and mad, and expressed his con viction that so great were the issues at stake that no man should heaitatie to =dace hie all to bring the rebellion to a successful termination, Ito re joiced that the Administration had expressed the determination to uphold. the Constitutiondind laws as they now existed. That this was a ground on which there should be no division of sentiment. That upon no other ground could there be unani mity of sentiment. That he feared there wore divisions of sentiment growing up at the North which would he fatal to success, and for this reason he urged unity of sentiment, and that unity based upon our President proclamations. That should the destruction of slavery and not the maintenance of the Constitution be the issue, we would be liable to the charge of being constitutional covenant breakers with the loyal: mon of the l3euth, and would alienate from our .muse SVestern Eastern Tennessee Kentucky, and Missouri. These, as he understood them, were the views of our President, and ho prayed God that the l'resi dent might be firm in this "noble stand which ho had taken." Ile urged most strongly the laying aside all "partisan feelings'' and uniting on this broad and noble platform. SOCCOSS then would be certain. In conclusion he prayed earnestly for our President and Governor, their Cabinets, our (lane rale, and our armies, and for the complete over throw of this unrighteous rebellion. These were his sentiments as expressed. As your correspondent was misinformed, I only ask that you will do Dr. D. the justice to publish the above. ONE os THE HEAITEES. THE CITY.

Phil ado phis now lies in a defenceless condition, and we do not know how EOM tie may be called upon to defend her. One of our greatest aids would be our artillery, which should be perfectly organized and rendered effective. It has been suggested that forty. eight Horsey are used by the Steam Piro Erigh,e Department, and that tine-lialf of them might be used by the city at a time, thus leaving the other half for the department. }lads half would be drilled three days in the week. Each company is to con— sist of 100 men, and there are to be seven companies. The city furnishes all arms, and the members their own equipments. The speaker suggested that the roll be called, in order that the intention of each company might be obtained. One of the delegates thought that most of those present had come fur information; and net to express themselves until they had conferred with their companies. Several other delegates stated that they had not yet had time to consult with their companies, and sug,gested that the meetitzg adjuiwn, and eeeemblo in a few days to hear the reports from the dig:roma etennoniet. It was also stated that, owing to most of their members being out of employment, it would he imposAible the them to furnish their own equipments. It was thought that, on account of many of the firemen having thready gone to - the war, it would be impossible to raise this regiment of 700 men from the Fire Department alone.
