STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.—" 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

The Latest War News.
From Western Virginia we have some important
news, received as we were going to press, the par
ticulars of which will be found under the tele
graphic head.
For the present the line of our operations on the
Potomac seems to be so - well defended, and the
inability of the enemy to accomplish their designs
in that quarter is so well understood. that the chief
anxiety of our citizens is produced by the condition
of affairs in ?dissanri and Kentuek)
A despatch from Darnstown sass that the strong

ble reserves are concentrated there.
It seems that the carious rumors in reference to the
removal of Gen. FRI.:MONT, etc., have at least this
baeie that Gen. WOOL has been sent to Missouri
on a tour of inspection ; ui l it Ia r eobaida, cbugider
ing his rank anti experience, that he is empowered
to advise, and, if necessary, to materially assist in
the direction of military affairs in that vitally im
portant quarter. FREMONT has evidently many
THUM friends and many bitter enemies in the
vicinity of Lst. Louis. The rumors of his removal
have created much excitement. and it was, doubt
less, the best course, under all the circumstances,
to despatch there an officer of distinguished posi
tion, who could, on the sput, with all the facts before
him, form a correct judgment in regard to the
proper measures to be pursued. The Washington
Star expresses the opinion that a court-martial
will be called in Missouri to pass judgment upon
the charges preferred against FREMONT, by Col.
BLAIR, and that Gen. Web'. will either preside
over this court-martial or take chief command
while it is in session.
It is reported that the rebels evacuated Lexing
ton on Monday afternoon, and that it was at once
partially occupied by General STVIIGIS, The army
under 6reneral PRICE has been greatly strength
ened. by the exhilarating effect his late victory
produced upon the rebels of Western Missouri, who
have ,nearly all rushed to his standard. A eor
,respondent of the Chicago Tribune says, " the
capture of MULLIGAN'S brigade has made them de
lirious with joy. They are confident of having Sr.
Louis within three weeks. So they have turned
out en maw, every man furnishing his own wea
pons, horses, and food, and those who are des
titute of food and horses, take them from the
farmers." Against a feeling of this kind we should
be enabled to present an unbroken front-, and a
large. well organized, and well disciplined force,
particularly when it is considered that PRICE anti
bloCuLLocn have not less than 40,000 men under
their command. The loyal citizens of Kansas are
becoming fearful that their State may fall into the
hands of the rebels if PRICE is not soon defeated.
And it is possible that amid all the complications
which surround him, General FIIEUONT will be
obliged to confine his attention chiefly, if not en
tirely. to the defence of JefferS.oll City.
The rebels boast that they will soon make a dash
upon St. Louis, but the Democrat expresses the
opinion that no fears for its safety need be enter
tained.
A steamer arrived in Baltimore yesterday. from
Fortress Monroe. which had on board Gen. Wool.
(who proceeded at once to Washington) ; and also
HENRY S. MAGRAW, of this State, who proceeded
at once to his: home at Lancaster.
The news from Ktntneky is of an exciting cha
racter. It daily becomes more and more evident
that the rebels intend to throw a very large
force into that State. Instead of sending all their
available troops to Virginia, they are believed to
be withdrawing them from that region to strengthen

Washington urge a further reinforcements of the
- Union troops in Kentucky, that there is good evi

ber of regiments from Eastern Virginia to Tennes
see and lower Kentucky. The loyal men among
the mountains of West Tennessee say that the Vir
ginia Central Railroad has of late been crow:.-il
with troops on their way to Kentucky.
Wherever the rebel troops , go they commit
great ravages, and one of their chief objects is
to procure supplies by plundering Union districts.
They are determined to capture Louisville if they
can, and some of the citizens of Cincinnati are
even alarmed (we trust unnecessarily) for the safety
of that city.

The Monroe Principle in Mexico
Moxlo.E.'s great principle and policy, of not
permitting any intervention by the European
Ptkvver,: in the atfsirit of the Western Continent,
u ill indeed be violated if, as is purposed,
England, France, and Spain establish a pro
tectorate in Mexico. We hold that, in no
case. should this interference be permitted.
It is what may mature into usurpation, and
r 1 it ion, anti annexation, unless checked in
time.
Ever since this threatened intervention was
announced, some weeks ago, we have been
puzzled to ascertain what plausible pretence
could be put forward. Foreign journals simply
announced the purpose. At last, as if in vin
dication of this aggressive policy, the British
Government has published its bill of indict
ment against Mexico. It appeared in the
1.11410 n T;incv tieptondaT lMth and I,
dated Seeember Utli, considerably later than
the announced determination of England,
France, and Spain to interfere. In a word,
the document is evidently ex post
. fitelo—got
up, as an afterthought, to justify a foregone
t'inicluzdon. It purports to be mi Address to
Earl Rrsssr.r. from certain British merchants
"holding relations with the Republic of Mexi
co, either in commercial intercourse or as
interested in mining and other industrial esta
blishments there, or as creditors of the State."
It :is significant of the charactur of this
Address that the names of the perSonsj who
have signed it are not given. It is as likely
as not that it was written in the _Foreign
Office, under Lord RUSSELL'S own eye,-.-a bit
of trickery and meanness of which his little
Lordship is very capable.
The Address states that, upwards of thirty
years, ago, British subjects, on the conclusion
of a commercial treaty laftween Mexico and
Great. Britain, entered freely into transactions
with Mexico, encouraged therein by a guaran
tee from that Republic of entire protection of
person and property : that they formed -46 from
time to time commercial and other establish
ments in various parts of the country, in which
a large amount of capital is involved, inde
pendently of a debt of Upwards of £12,000,000
sterling clue to Englishmen by the Government
of the Republic ;" that they patiently en
dured the hindrances to the operations of com
merce which were occasionally experienced
during the struggles of political parties in the
country, hoping that they would prove but of
temporary dmation, and that the march of
order and consolidation would gradually ad
vance. Then follows a specific statement:
" This expectation, my Lord, has been painfully
disappointed. The condition of Mexico has gone
from had to worse. It has become one now not
merely of political agitation, but of entire social
disorganisation. For three years the country has
been without a Government—that is to say, without
anything possessing the reality of that title, while
those who have assumed to exercise the powers of
government have been themselves foremost in acts
of lawlessness, suspending the performances of obli
gations solemnly entered into towards creditors,
seizing continually funds which had been specifi
cally appropriated to those creditors, dissipating the
resoureeS of the State, and crowning their sets of
violence by tearing the seal of the British Legation
from the property of British subjects. and forcibly
laying hold of the same for the use of the Govern
ment.
‘; In Mexico there is no security for person or
property. Within the last twelve months no less
than twenty-three Englishmen have been murdered
there.
Moreover, that the cry of Cr Death to fo
reigners!" has been raised, and that the re
presentatives of England and of France have
felt themselves compelled to break off all in
tercourse with the persons professing to exer
cise the powers of Government in Mexico."
This is the complaint against Mexico. The
Address then proceeds to suggest a remedy
for the evils thus set forth,—namely, that
‘; Nothing short of foreign interposition will
avail to establish tranquillity in Mexico." The
very words of the Address are :
"We humbly submit to your Lordship that any
nation inviting foreigners, by a formal treaty, to
settle within its territory, on the guarantee of per
sonal protection, and failing to afford that protec
tion, puts itself in the position of a defaulting par.
ty to a solemn contract, and leaves it, consequently,
open to the other party to that contract to take
measures to repair the default.
"Great Britain has, indeed, on another ground a
special right of intervention. The revenues of the
customs of the Mexican ports are mortgaged to her
subjects; but the produce of them is unlawfully
withheld. She has a right to foreclose the more
gage, and take flowed - Eon of thou ca,Ttela
hoaxes, until the claims of her subjects are satis
fied.
"We believe that if a nreteetinz force was
thrown into Mexico for the simple purpose of main
taining public tranquillity—and a very small force
would suffice for that end—leaving it to the people
quietly and peaceably to organize their own form
of government, avoiding all interference therein,
beyond insisting that whatever may be done shall
be done without coercion or violence, the country
may speedily lee delivered from its present disastrous
condition, to the great advantage of its own people
and of all interests connected therewith.
"IV. Mexican. could C0911,p1 aim of suck inter

be interfered with. It would simply be required
that all should exercise them in a peaceable man

THE IDEA or JAMES BUCHANAN writing a
letter to a Union meeting in this crisis is the
sublimity of impudence, and if we did not
know with huw much heartlessness he contem
plated and assisted in the ruin of his country,
we should be amazed at his temerity in send
ing such hollow professions forth among a
people who only permit his presence in their
midst on account of his years. Had the action
of the ex-President been ac prompt" and
cc energetic," we should not now be a divided
and belligerent people. Had he repelled from
his presence the infamous men who drove him
into the becompton treachery ; had he dis
missed the corrupt ministers who robbed the
national treastn, ; had he tolerated differences
among independent Democrats upon great na
tional questions, his name would not now be a

When he returned he was not only welcomed
by the President, but, after he had retired

following is a copy of the letter referred. to !
WHEATLAND, near Lancaster, Pa.,
September 28.
Divan Sin: I have been honored by your kind
invitation as chairman of the appropriate commit
tee, to attend and address a Union meeting of the
citizens of Chester and Lancaster counties, to ho
held at Ilaysville on the first of October. This I
should gladly accept, proceeding as it does from a
much-valued portion of my old Congressional dis
trict, but advancing years and the present state of
my health render it impossible.
You correctly estimate the deep interest which
I feel, in Common 'trill the Citizens who will there
be assembled, in tho present condition of our
country. This is indeed serious; but our recent
military reverses, so far from producing despon
dency in the minds of a loyal and powerful people.,
will only animate them to more mighty . exertions
in sustaining a war which has become inevitable
by the assault of the !Confederate States upon Fort
Sumpter.
For this reason, were it possible forme to address
you, waiving all other topics, I should confine my
self to a solemn and earnest appeal to my country
men, and especially those without families, to vo
lunteer for the war, and join the many thousands
of brave and patriotic volunteers who are already
in the field.
This is the moment for action; for prompt, ener
gftie and united action ; and not - for the discus
sion Of peace propositions. These, we must know,
would be rejected by the States that have seceded,
unless we should offer to recognize their independ
ence, which is entirely out of the question
Better counsels may hereafter prevail, when
these people shall be convinced that the war is con
ducted, not for their conquest or subjugation, but
solely for the purpose of bringing them back to
their original position in the Union, without im
pairing in the slightest degree any f their consti
tutional rights.
Whilst, therefore, we shall cordially hail their
return under our common and glorious flag, and
welcome them as brothers, yet, until that happy
day shall arrive, it will be our duty to support the
President with all the men and means at the com
mand of the country, in a vigorous and successful
prosecution of the war. Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.
THE PARTY POLITICIANS who have been un
derrating the Citizens' Union movement in this
quarter should remember that, but for the dis
interested and patriotic men engaged in it, not
only would the nomination of the present in
corruptible and independent Judges of our
courts have been endangered by the 'claims of
the political lawyers that sought their places,
but their re-election itself put in jeopardy. It
was the prompt and handsome recognition of
the claims of these fearless jurists, by the Citi
zens' Union Convention, that rendered it im
possible to defeat them in other quarters.
And, if honest Jolts THOMPSON is elected
sheriff of the county, as we hope and trust he
will be, it may also be set to the credit of the

LETTER FROM 6 4 OCCASIONAL."
- WASHINGTON, October 4, 1861
The story is told of several Union soldiers
who, while standing picket on the sacred soil
of Virginia, suddenly discovered a rattle
snake. After safely securing it, they held a
consultation as to what disposition should be
made of thek prisoner, when the discussion
was terminated by the suggestion of one of
the party to ct administer the oath of alle
giance and lot it go." Here is a test for an
essay upon the whole system of administering
the oath of allegiance to detected Secession
ists and spies. 1 know the embarrassment of
the Government, and can well sympathize
with the President and his Cabinet when they
come to the question of disposing of disaf
fected persons, and even of prisoners taken in
honorable warfare ; but it is a fact, of Nvhich
they cannot be ignorant, daily illustrated, that
- many of those who have been set free on con
dition of taking the oath, have paid as little
regard to this sacred obligation as they did
when they became a part of the unholy con
spiracy to break up the Union. The fact is,
when the poison of Southern treason has been
once imbibed, no matter how slightly, it is
aluw" -Q difficult to eradicate as the virus of
the aforenamen --vomit itself. It pollutes the
whole moral and physic:din:Mg ; expek truth,
honor,justice, mercy, and patriotism frtm the
human heart ; converts the gentleman itto a
dissembler, the politician into a knave, the
statesman into a traitor, and even gentle
woman into a Pythoness.
the Southern
tralitto!ss :L e t - e f- L eg rv u .1 1en o t v e b ren t t ° o f f our armies is
i nunediody —ado known to them, and that
the fre e States abound with their spies, who,
under the cloak of loyal professions, obtain
possession of the confidence of the Union
men, which they use and abuse without hesi
tation. Washington city is the very nest of
these vermin. They are often among the
loudest to shout hosannas to the Union; but
let a battle be lost to the American flag, and
they cannot restrain their joy. The female
Secessionists who shelter themselves behind
the impunities and privileges of their sex, de
light in every kind of demonstration against
the Government, and are only dangerous when
they irritate their lords and masters by pre.
tending to sympathize with the cause of the
country. Then they become the efficient and
vigilant auxiliaries of Davis and his crew. It
is believed here that, immediately after the
movement upon Munson's Hill had been de
cided upon by the military authorities and the
Cabinet, information was conveyed' to the
rebel troops across the Potomac, and upon
this admonition they retreated without the
loss of a man.
It will tax human ingenuity to devise a
remedy for this prevailing disease. Enough
is known to prove that the oath of allegiance
will not do it. Is it not the most arrogant
assumption in the world for men who are
directly - or indirectly aiding and comforting
the common enemy, in Washington and else
where, to declaim against what they call the
tyrannical conduct of the Administration in
sending thew to Fort Lantyette, and in re
fuming to allow them to print and circulate
their pestilential theories, and particularly
when they mast know that every step they
take is calculated to destroy everything like
civilization and liberty in the free States, and
to assist the conspiracy in the slave States?
Such persons denerve no toleration; and if
nothing better can be done with those who are
caught in the act of furnishing aid and coin
.
fort to the public enemy, they ought to be
compelled to take up their residence among
the conspirators with whom they heartily sym
pathize. In other words, they ought to be
forced to take the place of Northern men who
arc expelled from Southern States. But the
subject is too suggestive to be disposed of in a
single letter. . OCCASIONAL.

There seems to be tio doubt that Gen. Fitertorr
will be superseded, but no official intimation has
been sent to him of this fact. General Wow., it is
thought by those well informed in military affairs,
will proceed to the West under specific instruc
tions, and it may be he will supersede General FRE
MONT. No positive information, however, is de
rivable on this subject.
In response to a request of General FREMONT for
a quartermaster for the Western Department, as
Brigadier General IfICKINSTRY his taken the field,
Major ROBERT ALLEN has been appointed to that
position. Ile has the reputation of being one of
the best officers of that kind in the employment of
the Government.
It is further ascertained that Brigadier General
SHERMAN will be promoted to a major generalship,
and will take command of the Department of
Kentucky, the delicate state of ANDE RSON'S health
alone rendering this arrangement necessary.

The Case of Robert Elliott.
Secretary Smwmte to-day addressed to the Go

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, )
WASHINOTON, Oct, 4, P f
61 ,
Application has been made to the President for
the release of ROBERT ELLIOTT, a political prisoner
held in custody at Fort Lafayette. The evidence
taken in his case shows that he had not only con
ceived the purpose of treasonable co-operation
in the State of Maine with the insurrectionary
citizens arrayed in arms in ether Stated for the
overthrow of the Government and the Union, but
that he had even gone to the extreme length of
getting up an unlawful force to operate in Maine
against the lawful action of the State and of the
Federal Government. His associates in that
treasonable enterprise, since his arrest have taken
ti n unlit Alicg,lSDee 10 Ihe United Stute::. This
proceeding is very proper in itself, but the repro
sentations they make, that they and he were loyal
to the Union at the time when they were combining
in arms against it, cannot be accepted, at least in
his behalf. It appears that he is too intelligent
to misunderstand the legitimate tendency of his
criminal acts. He cannot he released. On the
contrary, your vigilance in ferreting out the con
spiracy, and in arresting it by denouncing it to the
Government and the country, is deemed worthy of
special commendation.
It' any of the other offenders are still persisting in
their treasonable course you will, I am sure, not
tail to give information to the Department.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your
edient servant, WILLIAM 11. SEWARD.

EXCITING RUMORS.
Whereabouts of General Buckner.

viz : the capture of New Orleans by the Federal
forces, the killing of John O. Breckinridge, and
the arrest of 'Humphrey Marshall. The first report
came by way of St. Louis.

A RECESS—THE LOTHSVILLE BANKS.
FRANKFORT, Ky.. Oct. 4.—The Legislature took
a recess to-day till
_November 27th, after adopting
a resolution instructing the Committee on Banks in
the meanwhile to inquire into the management of
the banks of Louisville.
The Bank of Kentucky had promised to pay its
quota thr the thfeuce of Kentucky ; the Bank of
Louisville, whose quota was nearly $400.000. pro
mised $200,000. The Northern Bank promised
$25,000 more than its quota, and the Farmers'
Batik promptly responded to its quota of the two
million required.
In discussing this question, Senator Speed said
that a majority of the Louisville Bank directors
would gladly welcome the rebel Buckner. and open
the vaults to him, and therefore he wis46l the ma
nagement of that institution to be exposld.
Senator Goodloe said the commercial banks
would promptly respond to any demand in this
emergency.
Mr. Speed's resolution of inquiry into the condi

Sr. Loris, Oct. 4.—Captain Mead, of the Lex

Faid to have been under General Sturgis, when a
battle ensued. Little is known ot., the affair, other
than that Harris' force was driven back, with the
loss of his transportation train and equipage.
General Harris reached the river about midnight,
closely followed by General Sturgis, and immedi
ately began to transport his men across in ferry
boats, under a galling fire of Federal musketry.
Many of the rebels swam the river in their im
patience to get across, and they spread exaggerated
reports of General Sturgis' strength throughout the
city.
One of the forry-boats is reported to have sunk,
and a large number of rebels are said to have been
killed or wounded.
On Sunday evening, General Price began to
evacuate the town, and his troops were constantly
departing, until five o'clock on Monday evening,
when the last regiment left.
Capt. Read heard some of the rebels say they
were going to Baker .
shill, a commanding eminence
eight miles southwest of Lexington, which they
would fortify, and make a stand there.
They seemed to think that Fremont and Sigel
were approaching with 40,000 men.
Captain Read says that Major Seviere, the rebel
provost marshal of Lexington, told him on Friday
last that 46,000 rations were issued on that day.
General Sturgis had not crossed the river up to
Monday night, and nothing definite was known re
garding his strength.

WHY GENERAL FREMONT COULD
NOT RELIEVE GENERAL LYON.
Sr. Louts, October 4.—The Democrat, of this
morning, in an article shows why General r Lyon
was not reinforced. It states that the entire forces
under General Fremont, on the 2d of August, in
cluding General Siegel's command of 4,000, was
19,315 troops, of which 12,556 were three•months
men, whose term of enlistment was just expiring,
leaving an actual force of only 0,109 for the entire
department.
Of this force General Lyon had 2,320 men, the
balance, 4,439 men, being the total strength of Gen.
Fremont's available force.
At this time Cairo, Bird's Point, and Paducah
were menaced by the rebel forces, which were ac
cumulating, end the President had ordered General
Fremont to take all his available troops and rein
force these points, for which service only 4,126
men, including upwards of 900 St. Louis Home
Guards, could be raised.
Rolla being the terminus of the Southwest branch
of the Pacific Railroad, was at this time the depot
of a large quantity of valuable army stores and
munilions, and was protected b Colonel Steven.
son's Missouri Regiment and Zrolonel Wilman's
Thirteenth Illinois Regiment. The former regi
ment was ordered to march to Springfield, bat in
consequence of the total absence of means for trans
portation it could not move.
The Democrat's article also shows the distribu
tion of troops throughout the State at that time,
and the time at which the three-months regiments
were disbanded. And in conclusion says that after
the battle Gen. Fremont was thoroughly exonerated
from blame by the very men who aro now the loud

CINCINNATI, Oct. 4.—The following is B. special
despatch to the Cincinnati Commercial:
CHEAT MOI - NTAIN. VA., Oct. 3. —This morninc:.
at I o'clock, a portion of Brigadier General Rey
nolds' brigade, consisting of three Ohio regiments,
(the 24th, 25th, and 32d,) and portions of six In
diana regiments, (the 7th, 9th, 11th, 14th, 15th,
and 17th.) together with detachments of Colonel
Bracken's Indiana regiment, Colonel Robinson's
Ohio regiment, Colonel Greenfield's Pennsylvania
cavalry, and detachments of flow's regulars, Loo
mis' Michigan and Daum's Virginia artillery, num
bering in all five thousand men, left that mountain
to make a reconnoissance in force in front of the
enemy's position on Greenbrier river, twelve miles
distant.
Colonel Ford's Ohio regiment was sent forward
to hold an important road, Ole possession of which
was important, it flanking our main column.
The expedition arrived in front of the enemy's
fortification at 8 o'clock, their pickets retreating
after firing an ineffectual volley.
Col. Kimball's Fifteenth Indiana Regiment were
immediately aent forward to secure a position for
Loomis' battery. itt -
Col. Ammin's Twenty-fourth Ohio Regiment de
ployed as skirmishers on the south slope of the
mountain.
Loomis' battery, after getting into position, and
being Supported by the SeVenteenth Indiana Regi•
mart, opened the battle.
The shot was immediately responded to by an
enemy concealed in the bush, who were soon routed
by the Fourteenth Indiana Regiment, with a loss
of seven killed, and a large number wounded and
taken prisoner].
Rowe's battery, supported by the Thirteenth In
diana Regiment, then moved forward, taking a
position three hundred yards from the enemy's
fortifications, and opened a brisk fire.
Capt. Daum brought forward two pieces, and
likewise opened a brisk fire.
The firing on both sides was almost incessant for
an hour, our artillery doing good execution, judg
ing from the lamentable shrieks of the enemy's
wounded.
The enemy's battery did comparatively little in
jury, their guns being too much elevated. Our guns
effectually silenced three of theirs.
While observations were being made of the ene
my's fortifications, occupying three more hours, an
irregular artillery fire WAS kept up, occupying the
enemy's attention. During this interval, the Twen
ty-fifth Ohio and Fifteenth Indiana Regiments ren
dered efficient service in scouting the mountains
Before the close of the reconnoissance, which was
most satisfactory in its results, the enemy received
heavy reinforcements from their camp near Mon
terey, making their strength about 15,000.
Although this reconnoissance partakes more of
the character of a regular engagement than any
previous battle in Western Virginia, our loss is but
ten killed and eleven wounded.
It is impossible to ascertain the enemy's loss, but
it cannot fall short of fire hundred killed and
wounded, as our artillery did terrible emeeution.
Their eanip was situated on the slope of the
mountain, supported by a number of guns.
We captured thirteen prisoners from the enemy
and also a lot of cattle and horses.
The reconnoissance proved highly successful,
affording information relative to the enemy's
strength which could not be obtained from scouts.
Our troops acted n o bly.
Uoneral Anderson and Colonels Johnson, Jack
son, and Oliver, were in command of the enemy's
forces.
DARNSTOWy. October 2.—At noon to-day all is
reported quiet on the river line, from the Point of
Rocks to the Great Falls. The enemy have not
made their appearance in any force since leaving
their encampment, opposite Muddy Branch, yester
day morning.
There has been considerable movement among
the Union troops in this vicinity to-day, but no
thing to indicate any immediate advance or hos
tilities.
Private Meyers, of the New York Nineteenth,
who was sentenced to be shot for desertion, has
had his sentence commuted into a suspension of
pay for cue year. It is understood that the evi
dence before the court martial was attended with
many extenuating circumstances, which made him
an object of Executive clemency.
No orders in the case of Lanahan have been re
ceived from Washington. He is still in charge of
the Provost Marshal, Capt. Stone, and awaits his
Eoipending r-t - yaristian resignation and
rutude. His spiritual advi zer, Father Dougherty.
visits him almost daily.
The enemy's recent movement towards Leesburg
or the Point of Rocks, is construed into a strategic
movement only, and one not requiring the strength
ening of any particular point along this line. Be
sides the present high stage of water in the Poto
mac, which, for some days, will prevent the passage
of the river, our pesitions have been selected with
such care that no experienced officer would recom
mend a crossing, even if practicable. The fact
that they unnecessarily exposed their strength or
weakness at the treat Falls, is a sufficient guaran
tee that no attack in force was prerueditated.
If private intelligence is to be relied upon, the
enemy's strongest position is about miles in rear
of Manassas Junction, where it is represented the
entire available reserves of the South are concen
trated. The bearer of this information has recently
visited all the principal points from Richmond to
Leesburg, and has given many important details of
the numbers, position, and resources of the rebels,
which are not requisite to be published at this time.
All former statements as to the privations, discon
tent, and demoralization of the rebel troops are
fully confirmed. The officers still attempt to inflate
the hopes of the soldiers that Washington will
fall an easy prey to the chivalry of the South, but
the recent successful expedition to Hatteras, and
the progress of Rosecrans in Western Virginia, to
gether with scarcity of food and money, are ra
pidly convincing the dupes of political aspirants,
that the days of the reign of Southern tyranny are
numbered. The soldiers and subalterns, and in
many cases officers of a high grade, utter loud
complaints against Virginia for not furnishing the
materials and sinews of war as promised through
the partisan leaders. The gentleman who furnishes
this information sincerely believes that delay is the
surest and quickest weapon to reduce the South to
loyalty.

SINGULAR DlSCOVERY.—Yesterday afternoon,
while some men were at work in a quarry on Hamilton
street,. between Thirty-first and Thirty-second, West
Philadelphia, they discovered a young frog, alive and
kicking, imbedded iu a stratum of rock, which, as far as
known, had never:before been disturbed by pick or
crowbar. The rock was very friable, and might easily
be loiOken with the firwwws. No .rPrthPle.,,, seemed at.
most impossible that his froushiu could have volantarily,
and of himself, assumed the singular PatitiOn in which
he was found. Ile was of a light flesh c.din, and when
exhumed, danced and writtgled around prodigiously.
After wonderment had exhansted itself in speculating
upon him, he was lifted up tenderly between two chips,
and thrown away as a monstrous ara maly of nature.
An impression of his corpus war left in the sandy rock
after his removal. We have frequently heard of petri
fied frogs being, discOvered in rocky excavations; hut
this is the first inetancutbat has come to our individual
1gn0w1,44., of the discovery of tits genuine vivo animal
under such circumstances. The story, we admit, hat
rather a piscatorial aspect, but we can, nevertheless,
vouch for its entire correctness.

THE TURF.
POINT BREEZE PARK, 1111Orie orbicular sports have

treated tier patrons to as interesting trot, between two
debilltante, named respectively. Pauline and Boy stare,
The former 18 one or the MOM nted iiuertt team, whkh
a year ago passed into the possession of Mr. Edson. The
colt, yclept Bay Mare, is the property of Mr. Joseph
Shoemaker, the owner of Brother Jonathan, who, with
several other trotters which Mr. S. has at different times
possessed, lute figured extensively MI the turf. Neither
horse having ever trotted in public, and but little being
known of their abilities, there was sufficient uncertainty
eland the result to divide opinion and to enliven 'specula
tion. The day was lovely, and he attendancefair. Punc
tually at four &dock, the horses anneared on the track,
and, after the Ostia! inaticmtVring, wore called up for the
First Lreat.—After two false starts, they got off, the
Bay Mare leading by a length, which, at the turn, had
increased to four, and at the quarter polo to ten. At the
half-mile pole, the Bay Mare left her fret—a performance
which seemed to afford her such intense gratification
that her settling low preceded another "Ily." These
successive performances, combined with the increased
paer. of Pauline, decrease,i the goo same four lengths,
which, however, notwithstanding the earneat HOWitatiOn3
of the driver of Patine, Mod throllgh the ntndium of a
"gall," remained constant to the close, the Bay Mare
winning the heat with ease in 2.39.
The time of this heat somewhat surprised all parties,
and unplensantly those who had staked their hopes and
money on Paulite. Previous to the heat there were
few hardy enough to risk a bet that 2.42 would he made,
none knowing the ability of the inare. Her easy per
formance of 2.39 elevated the general opinion of her,
and the figures ruled conslderably lower when they
started for the
Second Heat—For which they got the word at the first
scoring. As before, the bay mare" bdby a length,
and to the turn it preserved its likeness to the previous
brat. here the similarity ended, for at the quarter pole
the bay mare left her feet, and from this point the gap
ceased increasing. At. the half mile pole she again broke,
but was skilfully - set down by her driver without suffer
ing any disrulvantage from the performance. At the
third quarter pole the gap had decreased to two lengths,
but to less than this the ❑tmoat exertion; of Pauline
could not reduce it, the latter breaking on the stretch.
and the hay mare winning by four lengths the heat and
race in 2.43 X.
