Vrtss. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1861. EXTRACT FROM THE LAST SPEECH OF STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS...." The conspiracy to break np the talon 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 cont T. Every man must be on the aide of the limited States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war. There can be none but patriots and traitors." FOE SALE.—Tbe double-cylinder I.Tstrtos," PRESS On which this paper has been printed for the last nine months.

The Sa}►tiorters of Blithe - nen in the South. If there is one marked characteristic in the policy of the traitors, it is the fact that most of those who controlled JAMES BECIIANAN'ii Administration, and led iu the Secession movement South, have been compelled to put themselves in prominent positions in the re bel army. How= Conn, who, from having been a Lrnionleader in Georgia, became one of the most intolerant advocates of the Jeffer son Davis school in the Cabinet of JAMES Br- CHANAN, is the colonel of a regiment of ca valry-. .Tous. Suner.r., who was the right hand evil genius of' the ottiiit. BUCHANAN, is now forced to pay out of his large fortune ha mense sums to maintain the treason he advo cated. novn, who was the most flagrant thief in the Buchanan Administration, had to prove the consistency of his rascality by taking command of a brigade; and WISE, who was the local leader of the Richmond fire-eaters, in order to save his reputation was obliged to do the same thing. BEAtTREGARO, the head of the rebel army, is the protege and connec tion of SLIDELL by marriage. BEN MCCUL LOCH was a petted office-holder under BUCHANAN. Ex-Governor E. LOUIS LowE, of Maryland, was one of the most ar dent advocates of the Administration of the former cc favorite son of Pennsylvania." and is now in command of a regiment in Virginia. The notorious EDMUNDSON, so vociferous against all Northern men in the House of Re presentatives, is a colonel under the rebel flag; and his colleague, GARNETT, although married to a New Jersey woman, has been driven into the same category, as if to show the sincerity of his professions. of Mississippi, ZomeorcEn, of Tennes see, Humpinmy MARSHALL, of Kentucky, extra-BILLY SMITH, of Virginia, and a host of others—ail of them the most proscriptive and insolent in their abuse of the North—are now in the field against the flag of the country. We cannot name a single advocate of JAMES BrcnAxAx's Administration in the Southern States that now stands forth on the side of nationality and humanity. ANDREW JOHNSON, of Tennessee, and JOSEPH HOLT, of Kentucky, earl• saw the vices of that Administration, and early took ground against it. The - fact that the favorites and managers of the Buchanan Administration are now the blood-thirsty leaders of the Secession army is a fact that speaks volumes. NOW THAT the West Chester Nferioaan will undoubtedly be republished, we shall see how far journals of that class will be permitted to renew their warfare upon the Government. In other States, as, for instance, in Maryland, Secession newspapers have been allowed to go on on evidence of their inclination to sup port the Government, and we presume the Teffersoniatt will pay a decent respect to the national authority by refusing to give public expression to its known sentiments in favor of treason, Should it fail to do so, it will then be the duty of the military arm of the Administration to interpose for its second, and, we trust, its lasting suppression. We understand that Messrs. REED and BumLE in tend prosecuting the officers of the Federal Government for damages in the case of the Jeffcrsonian. This threat is neither more nor less than to offer a premium to all disaffected persons to attack the war policy of the Ad ministration, and to demoralize and intimidate our United States Marshals and District At torneys. We have, indeed, come to a strange pass in public affairs, when the authority of the Courts and the professional usages of the bar are to be invoked either fur the pro tection of the most offensive organs of trea son in our midst, or for the punishment of fearless public officers who attempt to carry out the orders of the Federal Government for the suppression of these organs. France, England, and America. Occasional statements appear in many jour nals predictive of the immediate recognition Of c; the so-called Southern Confederacy" by France. We have thought, all along, that the Emperor NAPOLEON was truthful and honest in his avowal of neutrality, and we think so still. The following, from yesterday's New York Herald, is testimony to strengthen our belief : FRANCE AND THE REBEL FLAG.—The following extract from a tenor recolvo4 in Bangor, Maine, from a gentleman in Bordeaux, France, shows that the Emperor Napoleon has no idea of giving coun tenance to the rebel flag, or of exhibiting sympathy for the rebels. Tne writer says: "The schooner William Abtott, of Bangor, Maine, Capt. Smith, was coming up the river, with a rebel flag flying at the fore, and no flag at the main or gaft. She came to anchor at Fanlike, a few miles below the city, and the custom-house boat went alongside. The . flag was hauled down in about half anhour, and the captainwont on shore. When she got un der weigh to go up to the city she could not pass the guard ship until that glorious flag of_stars and stripes was hoisted at the main, and she will be obliged to hoist it as long as she remains in France. The schooner was from Christiansand, Norway." This is yen' different from the double deal ing, the Tunica fides of England. Here we find France not only not recognizing the rebel flag, but compelling it to be hauled down 5 and the stars and stripes" hoisted instead. Con trast this with the rebel privateer Sumpter al lowed to enter the Port of Spain in Trinidad, under the rebel flag, and the British Governor allowing her to be supplied with coal on two different occasions. I:;ate"si -- I:Var News. =- 51i 7 rItiinkin, a member of the Canadian Parlia ment, who was arrested in Toronto lately for a "violation of the nentralitylaws," in enlisting men for his regiment of Lancers, to be attached to our Union army, has written a letter to the Toronto Leader, defending himself against that charge, in the course of which he says "When English subjects took part on either side in the civil war in rgiugg, it TM ooesittered, no offence ; and when, at a later period, the British Legion, under Sir De Lacy Evans, took part in a war of the same character in Spain, their conduct was not only regarded without disfavor, but abso lutely applauded, and even to this day, not to mention the thousands of Enzlish subjects wise forked to the standard of Garibaldi, are there liot nvnibers of Englishmen in the Austrian, the Prussian, and even in the Turkish service? Why then should it be treated as a crime for Ca nadians to enter the American service? Is the objection founded in reason or upon prejudice ? Is not the cause of the United States the cause of civilization and free government ? Has any strug gle so largely affecting the welfare of mankind in general taken place in any other country on the face of the earth within the present or any former age? "And, as to the Queen's proclamation, I main tain that it distinctly recognizes the right of every subject to dispose of himself in any man ner he may think proper. It simply intimates it to be the policy of her Majesty's Government (as a Government) to preserve a strict neutrality, and warns all subjects that if, in the exercise of their unquestioned rights as free men, they think properje,7take part on either side, they must do so on Akeir -fnititidtial responsibility ; but it does not even hint that any imputation will be east upon their sharactere, either as subjegis or as mem bers of. A very 116044% account of the - situation of affairs in itentueV win be found on our first peg A gentleman from Fairfax, Virginia, has arrived in Washington, with Richmond papers to the 11th instant. It appears that the rebel Government Las confiscated property in the South, owned by loyal citizens, to the amount of over eight hundred thousand dollars, from the 30th of September to the 10th of October, and a petition had been filed for the sequestration of Monticello, the former home of Jefferson, now Owned by Captain Levy, of the United States navy. The Wise Legion have disapproved of the conduct of Gen. Floyd, and they published their opinion of him in the Richmond Enquirer. To this Gen. Floyd has sent a letter to the EnquireP, an extract of which will be found on our first page. The health of Gan. Wise has not improved, and fears are entertained that he will not recover. Secretary Cameron and Adjutant General Thomas, having transacted their business with Goiri. Fre mont's command, left St. Louis yesterday for Washington. A large portion of the naval fleet designed to operate on the Southern coast has left New York for Annapolis, where, it is supposed, a large body of troops will be taken on board, and that it will then depart for its destination. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL. W„isitiNuToN, Oct. 14, 1861 The si:bs,:riptions to the seven and three tenths per cent. loan continue to increase, and the highest hopes of the Secretary of the TITASIirI" Will undoubtedly be realized. It is estimated tied about thirty millions of this loan have been taken directly by the people. The Secretary 7 when his appeal Was first bent a special agent to California, empowered to make the necessary arrange- Ments to secure subscriptions from that im portant financial quarter. The rate of ex change charged for drafts upon New York, at California, is five per cent., but now that the Government will require a large expendi ture for war and naval purposes on the Pacific seaboard, .parties can save this discount by purchasing certificates of the seven and three tenths per cent. loan, and leaving the gold in the mint to be coined by the officers of the Government, or, as the case may be, to be sent forward in armed vessels to New York. You will perceive at a glance what a capital method this is to s6ure subscriptions to the loan in California and in Oregon, and to prevent the loss growing out of the heavy rate of ex change. Parties interested should take ad vantage of the opportunity thus presented by Mr. Secretary Chase. The amount of money required by the Government in California will unquestionably be very great. The attempts of the Secessionists to block up the overland route, to maintain their hold upon Arizona, to seize Colorado and Nevada, to capture New Mexico, and, no doubt, to demoralize Utah, and to take possession of our different military stations on the several routes, will render ne cessary extraordinary vigilance on the part of Major Generals Sumner and Hailed:, and, of course, increased and increasing expenditures. The risk of forwarding gold to New York by the oceanic route, Pia Panama, is so great, that rates of insurance have considerably ad vanced within a short time, and nothing but the paucity of the naval marine of the Confe derate traitors has prevented the capture of some of the noble vessels engaged in the pas senger and transportation trade between New York and Aspinwall, and Panama and San Francisco. All this risk can be avoided, how ever, if the Government acts upon what I think is the wise policy just foreshadowecL The next movement of the sympathizers ith treason in the free States—some of whom are exceedingly jubilant over the result of your Philadelphia election, and claim it as a declaration against the Government—will be to take another step in the wake of John C. Breckinridge, by attempting to create a preju dice against the tax levied for the purpose of paying the expenses of the war. I have no doubt that many of the William B. Reed class in your city, who have been apprehending an invitation to the cold comforts of Fort Latliy ette, on account of their known sympathies with the Secessionists, will now take heart and speak out boldly. It is one of the easiest things to attack an Administration, State or National, on the basis of extravagant expen ditures, and these men are sufficiently cun ning and adroit to conceal their hatred of the slag under the most specious pretexts. Every fabrication, no matter how monstrous or how ridiculous, against the men in authority here, will be circulated, in order to create a settled prejudice against the cause of the country. They will profess to be special advocates of the flag—special opponents of the Southern traitors, and particularly anxious for the over throw of the Southern Confederacy—but they will mingle with all these professions a protest against corruption and a lamentation against The war tai; and all this for the purpose of affecting the voters in the German counties in your State. Now, when it is remembered that the internal revenues, resulting from the legislation of Congress at the special session, were intended to prOtt.et estl - paSOi'Ve - MC Union—without which no man can be safe in the exercise of his rights, or in the possession of his property—without which, indeed, we pan hare no substantial industry—without which rents cannot be paid, or land sold at remunerative prices—the war tax of each in dividual will be a mere trifle. The friends of the country in the different counties of Pennsylvania should be on the alert, in order to counteract and expose these designs, and,' whatever mistakes may have taken place heretofore, the supporters of the Government, and all who believe in the justice of the war, should take immediate steps for the purpose of consolidating such a party at the next elections as will put down the Seces sion sympathizers forever. I have reason to believe that these sympathizers are not only exultant over what they conceive to be a vic tory for them, but are even sending intelli gence to this effect to the Confederate States ; and when those whom they have deluded come to understand the use that is made of their votes, I do not doubt they will be as prompt to avenge the insult as they were mis guided in allowing themselves to assist in giving a verdict that is now being perverted to the injury of their country. OecAstoxs,t„ Public Amusements. MICR-STREET THEATRE.-A large audience con gregated at this theatre last night, to witness the rare comedy of " The Way to Keep Ilim," and the extravaganza of "Mazeppa." The combination was an excellent one, and, al though the performance extended from half-past seven to half-past eleven o'clock, the songs and ballets were encored to the end, and the people manifested every inclination to make a night of the bill. In the comedy the fullest opportunities were al lowed for a display of the individual abilities of the members of the company. MigS Charlotte Thomp son and Mrs. Drew as 117 rs. Loventere and the Widow Belinore, played with the spirit and ease characteristic of them. Miss Thompson exhibited in this, as in all her former efforts, the chaste, sub dued diction and natural manners that, snore than to any young actress of the day, belong to her. Al ternating from passages of regret and recrimination that mark her endurance as the forgotten and insulted wife, to the lighter parts in the final act, where the woman's nature moves her to dalliance and rebuke, she carried with her the sympathies of the audience, and vindicated, at the same time, the credit of the wife and the artiste. her cos tumes were rich and tasteful, particularly in the last act. Mrs. Drew never played better, and looked surprisingly young. - Messrs. Gilbert, Sho well, and Mortimer rivalled each other in equally individual parts. The latter gentleman plays with a degree of sameness that might advantageously be changed. The stage furniture deserves mention, a fine piano in one of the drawing-rooms, and the new oaken tables and chairs, agreeably reminding us of the miserable apologies for furniture - frit have been exhibited at this theatre time out of mind la the dialogue, Frank Drew was intensely funny, and the Arab dances were diverting. Mr. ScaDan's son 1.,s might have been improved, al though they were all encored and brought down the gods in the galleries. There is material for a good ballet corps among the utility ladies of the theatre, and one of them—Miss Miller, wc believe— has graces of face and form that may make her a popular danseuse. The bill, as it stands, should fill the house for a week, at least. The manage ment, however, has under/hied a series of novelties that promise a successful and brilliant season. ZOITATE LIGHT INFANTRY TACTICS.—ThRier this title King and Baird, Sansom street, have just brought out a little book, of nearly 200 pages ltruo., with sixty-four original engravings, from drawings after the life, illustrative of the sub ject. Originally written by Major J. H. De Witt, of Baxter's Fire Zouaves, it has now been revised and enlarged by Colonel John M. Gosline, of the Pennsylvania Zouaves. It is acompleto manual of the peculiar tactics which have made the Zouaves so efficient and formidable. The Rules defining the Soldiers' Duty are suited to any branch of the military service and are eminently practical, though happily brief. The book, which will fit handily into the pocket, is wonderfully cheap at twenty. five cents.

The Visit of Secretary Cameron and General Thomas. INTERESTING FRO! PRICE'S REBEL ARMY. OUTRAGES OF THE SECESSIONISTS IN KENTUCKY The Rebels at Columbus ask for an Exchange of Prisoners. Special Despatches to 44 The Press." WASHINGTON, October 14, 1361 From the Virginia Side of the Potomac. It has been reliably ascertained that the rebel force which made its appearance west of Lewins vine on Saturday consisted of only one company of infantry and another of cavalry. The promptitude of our troops in obeying im portant orders during the last two days has elicited encomiums from the most prominentimilitary of noes, and strengthened confidence in their effi. ciency for any conflict in which they may be called upon to participate. The rebels on Saturday advanced to Pohick Church. 12 miles from Alexandria, and barricaded the road with wagons, but our pickets paid no hostile attention to them. Reports have been current for several days past, that General BANKS has crossed the Potomac, and even hard fighting is rumored, but it is certain that no such information has been officially received at Washington up to this hour, UP o'clock P. M. Yesterday the rebels made a reconnoissance at Edwards' Ferry, several prominent officers, judg ing by their uniforms, engazed in that business. The. Vote of the Pennsylvania Nrolun- From an estimate made, the Pennsylvania volun teers within a radius of twenty miles of this city cast over seven thousand votes for Philadelphia at the late election, hut the result cannot be definitely uccrtained, li44t there is ne denying the fact that the returns have been tampered with ; and it is questionable whether one thousand votes were legi timately east. All kinds of devices have been re sorted to to alter the result. Several cases of this kind have developed themEelve, within the pact tWQ or three days. Most of the regiments have been re moved from their former locations, and are now moving slowly and steadily forward to Richmond. If any of the seats should be contested there will be no ready way for reaching the soldiers. Gen. bfcCzsr.nas is understood to have said that none of his officers can, at this critical time, leave their duties to testify in contested-election eases. Starring Events at Hand. The excitement and anxiety which prevailed yesterday and the day before has gradually passed away, and the city to-day, outside of the move ments of the soldiery : presents a quiet appearance. Everything, however, betokens stirring events at hand. Before to-morrow night, it is expected that our forces will be strongly entrenched at Fairfax and entwine. A strong reconnoissance was made this morning. from the neighborhood of Lowing- Tile. It is not leliered that the rebels will make a stand at either pl ace, but that they will retreat, as they did from Munson's Hill. It is more than probable that the next great blow will be struck on the old battle-ground at Bull Run. One thing can bo depended upon, that General MCCLELLAN is determined that there shall be no retreat nor backward movement. The Army To-day. There is no mosoment of Importance to-clay, and the troops are busy fortifying themselves in their advanced positions. The army was visited yester day by many of the leading men of the nation, and by a number of foreigners of distinction. Dr. Rus szr.a., of tholondon Times, was over, slid, like many others, was in full anticipation that some thing was about to turn up, upon which to predi cate a readable letter to the Thunderer. He spent an hour with General blcDowntr„ in the observa tory recently erected upon senator 'UPTON'S house. Visitors, however, returned without witnessing any movement of the army. Rumors continued to pass current through the city yesterday that the armies were in conflict, until the Chronicle ; at four P.M., issued an Extra," containing reliable informa tion that all was quiet, upon the perusal of which inquiry abated, and the community slept easy. Preparing for the Fight. . Every preparation has been made for bringing our wounded sddiers t 9 this city, vhculsi a fight take place on the other side. The Patent Office and other buildings are being fitted up with extra accommodations. The Comfort of Our Soldiers. Gen_ VAN VLIET, of the Quartermaster's Do• partment, is assiduously engaged in the business of providing overcoats and blankets for our troops. As these articles are, from time to time, received, they are rapidly distributed by Capt. Tamils, of the Clothing Department The contractors in the Northern cities do not fur nish the supplies as expeditiously as the wants of the soldiers require, it being the purpose of the Government to allow none to cross the river unleas they are completely clad. Reinstatement of Officers Discharged by Fremont. The War Department has ordered Gen. &tun mart, commanding the Department of the Cumber land, to reinstate all the officers of the Twenty. fourth Illinois Regiment, who were illegally dis charged by Gen. FREMONT, through the instru mentality of Col. IfEciart. It le further ciireeted that the charge@ the di rectly-interested parties may have to make—the one against the other—shall be submitted to Gen. SHERMAN, for such action as the general interests of the country may require. The committee of aggrieved offieers will leave Washington to•mor• row to report themselves for duty. The World's Fair. The Commissioners to the World's Fair organized to-day by electing SeeretarY 15zwAnn Chairman and Superintendent of the Census KENNEDY Se cretary. Of the thirteen Commissioners, lion. ED WARD EVERETT only was absent, and he sent a let ter of excuse. A committee was appointed to wait on the Presi dent with a request that he send a national vessel to England to convey such goods as the American contributors may desire to exhibit. Death of General Walter Jones. General WALTER JONES, an aged and distin guitled retired lawyer, died to-day. Affairs along the Lines. I have just returned from a thirty-six hours' stay in Virginia. I found that the excitement along the lines in expectation of a battle was great. Our troops were underarms all night Saturday and Sunday, and on the alert during tho day. A largo body of rebel cavalry was seen on a hill in the di rection of Lewinsville on Sunday, but it is supposed that it was only an armed reconnoissance. Our soldiers arc enthusiastic for the battle to dome off, a s they are determined to send the rebels back to Manassas in less time than it took them to come from there. The Pennsylvania Reserve division is in tine condition, and ready to pay their respects to General JOHNSTON if he should determine to visit them. To-day everything is reported quiet along the lines. Death of Pennsylvanians. The following Pennsylvanians have died from diseases in the camps: B. CnAsn, Company 11, Tenth Regiment; R. W. STANKARD, Company If, Twelfth Regiment; It. W. MeCnEsNry, Company K, Thirty-third Regiment; HAMILTON WILLIAMS, .Company E, New Jersey Cavalry, and Jens CLORAN, Company E, Sixth 'ew Jersey Regiment, hate also died in camp. At the Navy Yard. The Harrect Lane is now receiving her heavy armament of 32 pounders. The work is rapidly progressing on the steamers Pawnee, Seminole, Peraho»tas. and Anano.eta. They will all be ready for service in a few days. The P en-Vaxol a has dropped down to Alexandria; shu draws seven teen feet of water, but encountered no difficulty on her way down. Several steamers in the employ of the Government are In the stie&in awaiting ordua. Sickness in the Camps Among the camps immediately on the line of the Potomac there is much complaint of fever and ague, typhoid and intermittent fevers. They mostly yield to medical treatment. If the friends of the volunteers in Philadelphia would send them qui nine, and such medicines as are useful in fevers, they would be of more service than cakes and pies, and such frippery, which are of no benefit to the soldier. Flannel undershirts and woollen socks are in great demand among the Pennsylvania troops. Packages of such articles will roach them if ad dressed to the colonels of the different reinvents, or to lien. MeCar.r." s division ,which consists of thir teen thousand sturdy Pennsylvanians, who are now encamped a few miles the other side of the Chain Bridge. Badly Mounted. Some of the cavalry companies on this side are very badly mounted. A number of the horses are worse than those attached to a Washington hack or Philadelphia oyster cart. The frauds practised upon the Government in this respect are outrage. one. How such animals ever passed inspection we cannot tell, THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1861 Several contracts have been made with parties in Philadelphia and New York to furnish the Go vernment with large quantities of hay and oats. Some of the contractors, who have given security for the faithful performance of their contracts at this point, now find themselves in an awkward di lemma. They cannot charter vessels, unless at ruinous rates, to come up the Potomac. They are afraid of the rebel batteries. The Government Officials will not yield, and some of the poor eon trnetors, who Mr large profits looming up in the distance, are doomed to bitter disappointment. The only alternative left is for them to ship their articles to Baltimore, and take their chances to get them through by railroad. This, though, is a very uncertain mode of transportation, as the Baltimore and Washington railroad is already taxed far be yond its capacity. Rebel Ingratitude. I hope the following case of ingratitude has few parallels : A soldier called wet. weary, and hungry, at the house of Henry Kernoll, a farmer in Fair fax county, Virginia, and asked to be sheltered from the storm. It was a few days after the Bull Run affair. The farmer took him in. The soldier said he belonged to the Union army, and showed the Union army uniform to corroborate hie stato• ment. The farmer fed and warmed him, and offer ed him his parlor, where he could more securely conceal him, in case his house might be visited by the rebels. After receiving the farmer's hospitalities, the soldier said he would go to the barn ; whore ho could better conceal himself from the rebels. From there ho disappeared, and not long after the farmer was arrested and carried to Manassas Gap, where the soldier, who proved to be espy, appeared before him, and, at a mock trial, swore to a tictue of falsehoods. He mss the cause of the old man's arrest and ruin. After being detained several weeks, the farmer was sent to Richmond and in carcerated in the common jail, a filthy hole. He was released a few days ago, and reached Washing ton SatutclAy bight. Every available store on Pennsylvania avenue has been monopolized as sutlers' stores. In a num ber of instances heavy premiums have been paid for stores for this purpose, Temporary stores aro being put up on vacant lots, and the city bids fair to become one vast sutler's shop. Quite a number of Philadelphians have embarked in this business. Among them is Mr. JAMES S. Goaoss, formerly a wholesale dry-goods merchant on Chestnut street. His place is the headquarters for Philadelphians, who visit this city. lie has six express wagons con stantly running to the camps, which is a great con venience to the volunteers, who receive letters and packages from their friends at home. Some of the regimental sutlers clear over one thousand dollars per month. They sell every knick-kttaCk that eau be imagined, except whisky, which is righteously strictly tabooed by order of General McCLELLes. General ANDERSON; who left Loniavillo on Fri. day. has not yet arrived in this city. He will be presented with the sword, voted to him by the City Councils of Philadelphia, on his arrival. The soil beyond the Potomac is light, loose, and porous, and the roads since the recent rains have been so thoroughly cut up by the heavy army wa gons, that they have already become nearly impas sable. As the season advances this impediment to transportation will increase. Already the cavalry wade through mud knee deep to the horses, in some places, and wagons sink to the hubs. How either can make time, or oven pass through the country at all, at a later period is a question of dif f icult so Captain Ponrun's First Massachusetts Battery Passed upon the Avenue to-day. It is one of the most perfect and complete batteries iu the service. It will be sent to the other side of the Potomac. • Falling Back on Richmond. The impression is, from recent advicea received from Richmond : that it is the intention of the re bels to winter the bulk of their army in that city. Shipping on the Potomac. The merchant and the Government vessels con tinue to pass up and down upon the Potomae with. out obstruction. The rebels are not seen as for merly, hovering around their mud batteries on the banks of the river. The Sickela brigade are repbsked a. 4 Mill YendeY ing efficient service in Maryland in checking all de monstrations of Secessionism, and seizing rebel arms wherever found. The weather to-day has been delightful, and the Avenue is crowded with promenaders. There are but very few soldiers to be seen in the streets to day. All the regiments on this side are in momen tary expectation of receiving orders to strike their tents and move forward. The officers and men are therefore kept at their posts. The Washington Star of this evening says: Our belief is that, at six A. M. to-day, a body of our troops, nocompouio4 ky some six 4!l(ifqd sappers and miners, proceeded to lay Minor's Hill bare, with the axe, so that, by nightfall, it will have ceased to afford opportunities for concealed reconnoissances of our positions on the right, or for a possible attack upon those positions from the corer of dense woods. In the course of the day yesterday a commence ment was made in the work of clearing Minor's Hill of possible future cover for an attacking force. By the time we go to press to-day it will have been finished, and a Union force so posted upon it that no more of the enemy's scouts will venture upon it. Its occupation by Gen. MCCLELLAN, as explained above, is equivalent to a forward movement of his advance of perhaps two miles. At one time yes terday forenoon °ober/a Mcatumts, Binuv, STONEMAN, FITS JOHN PORTER, BUTTERFIELD, arid MORELL—SIX general officers—were together on that hill. Synaersa, Mo., Oct. 14—f Special to the St. Louis Republicani—General Cameron, accom panied by Adjutant General Thomas, spent Satur day night at Jefferson City, and arrived in Tipton about nine o'clock yesterday morning. After breakfasting in camp, they rode over to this place, six miles, on horseback, accompanied by General Fremont end staff. Upon their arrival here, the party called upon General McKinstry, and, after spending half an hour with him, proceeded, in company with him, his staff, and several other gentlemen, to review General .11.11Kiustry'e divi sion, wnten is encamped here. At the close of the review, General Cameron made a few well-timed remarks to the troops, ex pressing the highest gratification at the condition in which he found them, and the utmost confidence that in the hands of such men the honor and suc cess of our country's arms were safe. Lotutcheers were given for Generals Cameron, Fremont and Meliinstry. General Cameron and his party, accompanied by General Fremont and staff, then went by rail to Tipton, where they reviewed General Mboth's division, which was also in excellent condition. They then went on by special train to St. Louis. It Is understood that Secretary Cameron came here at the request of the President, to examine the condition of affairs in this department, and that he professes himself highly gratified with the con dition of Froimont's army. Colonel Merrill's cavalry have gone down the Osage river on a scouting expedition. Generals Meffinstry and Stanley are to remain here, and not go East, as has been stated. General Fremont is on the eve of moving, but is greatly embarrassed by the want of means of trans portation. Within a few days, parties of rebels have boon foraging within sixty miles of Sedalia. I have very late intelligence from Price's army. My informant, a citizen of this county, deserted, and is here to claim the amnesty offered to rebels who lay down their arms. He left General Price's command on Wednesday, a short distance south of Johnston, in Bates county, when it was moving southward. He represents that great dissatisfaction exists in Price's army. Desertions occur every day, and, if the assurance could be conveyed to them that they would not be harshly dealt with, he thinks the greater part of the State Guard would lay down their arms and return home, as they are tired of war, and are only prevented from deserting in large bodies by the assurance of their officers that, if they are caught, they will be hung as traitors, and by the stories of the terrible. Union outrages which aro industriously circulated among them. The most exaggerated accounts of atrocities committed by our men, of destruction of property, burning of towns, end raViebment of wown, are circulated and believed among them. Eight or ten other chi ices of this county, who belonged to his company, deserted along with him, and are ready to give themselves up. CAIRO, Oct. 14.—The steamer Grampus, with a flag of truce from the enemy's camp at Columbus, Ity., asking for an exchange of priconora, arrived here to-day.

MARINO PAPER FROM STRAW.—ORC would suppose that the last use in the world the ancients could have found for straw would have been in the manufacture of bricks. And one might equally suppose that the very last use us moderns could find for such an apparently shiftless . product of nature would be its conversion into immaculate printing paper, each pound of which should sym bolize a dime of American coinage. But, as the former, so the latter use has been found for it, and that, too, within a comparatively recent period, by Messrs. Mound k Nixon, of this city. Their establishment is styled the Flat Rock Mills, and is located in the Twenty-first ward TIM ORIGINAL PROCESS The art of manufacturing paper of straw has made rapid progress since its discovery. The pa per was first made in this city in 1854, by the above named firm. Although of a dingy yellow hue, harsh and brittle to the touch, and scarcely to be handled without tearing, its production was deemed the marvel of the age (as, indeed, it was), and the very least of the many glorious auguries of it was, that it should entirely revolutionize the newspaper business, in time. In those days the straw was most unscientifically boiled in open tubs, and con sequently it was never perfectly freed of its silica ; and being silicated it was found almost impossible to wet it down for presswork ; so that the paper was either too much printed, or not printed at all, and a growl went up from the reading public, of alarm and indignation. TEE IMPROVED PROCESS 'Under various mitigated forms, the evil never theless continued for years, and the growls grew fainter and fainter as the people'e eyes and per verted tastes became accustomed to it. About eighteen months ago, Mr. Nixon secured letters patent for various important modifications of the original process. The method of making straw paper, as now pursued, at least in this city, may be deSetibed as follows The straw is first passed into a cutter, whereby it is reduced to lengths of from 3 to 4 inches. It is then thrown into large vats, and thoroughly saturated with spent alkali. A most unpleasant odor hence arises. somewb at similar to that perceptible in all large breweries, but we are informed that it is not prejudicial to the health of the workmen, This operation of mixing is termed " breaking down." and changes the straw in color to a dark biske. is next filled into largo air-tight boilers, four teen feet in diameter, subjected to a pressure of steam ninety pounds to the square inch, and boiled in another alkali. Each of these boilers will con tain 11,000 pounds of broken straw. It is then ground into pulp, in the same method and by the same machinery thathave hitherto been employed in the manufacture of rag paper. It has now been changed to a very dark slate color, and it would be difficult for us to recognize in it any element of the bright yellow straw of an hour since, if we were not previously acquainted with the marvellous na ture of the transformation. After this it passes into a series of vats, where, by means of certain bleaching powders, it is brought to a hue of snowy whiteness, and reduced to a proper consistency by water. The mass now bears much resemblance to plaster-of-paris in solution, and is ready to be worked up into paper. HATZING THE PAPER The most interesting process yet remains to be described, but we must. pass into another apart ment-4o witness it, At the eastern extremity of the room is a sort of trough, into which the pulpy liquor is pumped by steam-power, and from which it Sows upon a horizontal sieve of very fine copper wire. The fibres of the pulp at once arrange them selves on this sieve. A specieSof film is thus formed, which, though not a hundredth of an Inch in thick: nogg and largely saturated with water ; 22 . T: geg,, cient golly to answer every purpose. It is next ;Dade to pass betweer a series of wooden rollers, which gradually consolidate and compress its fibres and free it of all the surplus water. By means of heated rollers, through which it is mused to pass, every particle of moisture is at length removed, and it is calendered by being pressed between heavy, polished iron rollers. The positions of two small revolving wheels, with cutting surfaces, be tween which it is caused to move, regulate its width as required, and it is finally wound upon reels, from which it may be cut off into sheets of any length. The entire operation is so simple that the visitor who has an opportunity of inspecting it cannot fail to comprehend it almost instantly. The machinery, nevertheless, requires to be of exceeding accuracy, and is accordingly rather expensive. Its capacity admits of the production of 9,000 pounds of paper per day, but only about three-fourths of that amount is at present being manufactured, or between 180,- 000 and 190,000 pounds per month. AMOUNT 01 , MATERIALS CONSUMED. Two thousand tons of straw are yearly consumed at the Plat Rock Mills in the manufacture of paper. But forty per cent. of this, however, is available as fibre The balance passes off into glutinous matter and silica, neither of which being convertible into dollars and dents represents an appreciable value. This immense waste in the raw material is, how ever, fully compensated for in the advantages of the product. Compared with paper made from rags, straw paper has more body for the same weight, is better adapted for fast presses, as it will not readi ly tear, and calenders mush more smoothly. As to -whether it can be produced at a cheaper rate, we shall net take it upon ourselves to state. There are probably not over half a dozen facto ries in the United States engaged in making it. Two or three of them are situated in New York, and another in Cincinnati. There is but one newspaper establishment in Philadelphia which uses straw-paper for printing purposes. The New York Herald and Tribune have oc casionally used it, and the San, we believe, uses it altogether. The Pesten press appears to favor it, and Boston in such matters is so well competent to speak au thoritatively that her decision must be received with respectful reverence by the entire Union. The success of straw-paper is, therefore, a fixed and settled fact. THE BIANEFACTI7RE OF ROOFING-PAPER At the paper mill of Mr. Stellwagen, we wit nessed the process of snaking roofing-paper. It is of a durk slate color, is thick and of coarse fibre, and is principally used in this city in connection with the new method of patent roofing. It is com posed of ground woollen rags, and, in its pulpy state, verymuch resembles felt. It is formed into sheets and dried, by passing through steam-heatoll rollers, as in the ordinary printing-paper machines. The sheets are usually cut to a width of from 22 to 24 inches. Hundreds of miles of this paper are turned out in the course of a week.

NAVAL ArrAinS.Atnong the vessels re cently' purchased by the Government and lying at the n a v y yard arc the Nfafe d, the Iron abeamer St. Mary, Stars and Stripes, James S. Chambers, George Manghan, Maria A. Wood, Adolph Hugel, and Joseph L. Doris, besides many others which have not yet arrived. These vessels are being fitted up as ra pidly as possible, and as soon as their armament is placed on board they will be ready for era. The Jan. S. eham. 'hers and Stars :and Stripes were purchased from Simp son and Neill and Chas. Williams, ship builders: The now iron Meunier St. Mary was bought from a firm in Wilmington; also, the Virginia pare, which Las not yet arrived at the yard. The flan Jacinto and St. Louis arc expected to arrive at tho navy yard. The launch of the United States side-wheel steamer Miami, on the stocks at the nary yard, has been delayed for the want of deck plank. i.iltoula it be reee k-,1 whldn a day or two, the launch will take place before the close . of the Present week. The Navy Department is desirous of having the steamer ready tbr service as soon aS possi ble. It is less than five weeks since the kee} was laid, and the vessel could have been ofithe stork, several days ago, if the material for the deck had ken furnblied, The United States drone -loop-of-war Brooklyn has been stripped, preparatory to commencing the necessary repairs. A thorough inspection of the vessel, made by limiter Carpenter 'Davis, has shown that it is necessary to thoroughly overhaul her. Considerable of her upper works are rotten, and SORIC of her planking is in thesame condition, The Brooklyn was built by Westervelt. of New York, in 1858. The slate of her timbers, consider ing the short time she has been at sea. is rather sarpris. log. The Navy Department has ordered the repairs to be done to the Brooklyn with despatch. Yesterday, at noon, the United States gunboat Tusca rora was placed in the dry dock to be coppered. The vessel will go into commbefion in a few Nveeli=. The planking of the sienp-ef-war .i 3111 1 .111,1 has hem commenced, her frame being up. She will be ready for launching about the latter end - of Pe6ember. Certain parties, who put in bids for the building of aide-it heel steamers. Similar to the Miami, having failed to comply with the reanirementg of the Navy Irepartment, it is believed that another of the vessels will be con structed at the navy-yard. The prize ship Ainelia, which was sold by the totted Stain 2lsirnlial a few days since, hoe been placed in the dry•dock, at Simpson .t BeiWe yard, for the purpose of being recoppered and otherwise repaired. Another prize has reached this port. The schooner San Juan, captured by the United States frigate Susque hanna. on the 2Sth ultimo, off Hatteras Inlet, has been brought here by Prize Master William U. Grazier. The achooner is about lag MHO burden, and in Waded chiefly with salt. She woe from came of the West India Islands, and was bound to Elizabeth, W. C., where sho was owned. WHARF IMPROVEMENTS ON THE DELAWARE ANL/ SCHUYLKILL—The bulkheads for the new wharves and docks on the weal' side of the Schuylkill, above Market street, will be finished within two months A force of from twelve to eighteen men is at present enr o igod upon them. The filling hi behind them is being done by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and is ahout half completed. Many of land have been reclaimed by me erection of these bulkheads. On the Delaware, just aliore Market street, three wharves owned by the Girard 'Pilate, are being extended on+ a distance of two Afi‘..L.nathan Tidw ell is engaged upon the bulkheads of one of the exten sions. They will shortly be completed. The earthen dike fronting the ahnshouse grounds on the Schuylkill is being repaired by attaches of the insti tution. It is about six !feet in width and four in depth. It is intended not only to prevent the inundation :if the 1 :mm10w-ion& bat do. (I.si ftikeing of Oldies-dates) to per mit their draining. It is formed of the rich vegotahle mould and alluvial deposits which have been excavated from the river- hanks in the immediate vicinity. LAUNCH or THE. GrNISOAT ZSCIOTA.—The new gunboat built for the Government by Jacob Bierly, the yard, foot of Columbia avenue, Kensington, will be lanbeinAl flit morning at ing ri , eleek. The keel of the vessel was laid and work commenced on the 18th of July last. She has been finished in about severity days, though the contract time for her completion was one bmidred mid five days. The rigging of the boat, with the exception of sails, is already on board and almost in order; the masts merely requiring setting up. Her :trim mat will consist of SiN ruin and a swlyti, with the ell pacify of carrying an additional gnu on the, forecastle deck. A stern wheel, worked by an iron shaft, has been supplied by I. P. Morris & Co., who are to furnish the engines and entire machinery. The ceremonies of chris tening will be emulated by Miss Melly, a daughter of the builder; and, after launching, the boat will he towed to the wharf of Morris A. CO. GONE. TO FORT LAFAYETTE.— DeiteikC George H. Smith returned last evening from New York, whither he bad escorted William J. Packard, consigned to Fort Lafayette by order of the Secretary of State.

The articles of shipment comprise all the accoutrements needed by the soldier in the' cavalry, infantry, or other department of service. These are, to some extent, sup plied by firms throughout the city, though the larger portion of the egnipmenls fur man and horse is received from other pmflimlarly from 1.4.-wark, N..T. Shipments of hail and different varieties of shell are frequently made to Washington and the western military district. To GAS CONSITMERS. - WC, understand that the city authorities are about to purchase .111 pnwed gas earbonizer for the suns of 810,000, from a New York inventor. Heretofore great trouble has been experienced in condensing the vapor of hydro•carbon which is ne cessary to the making of burning gas. The new inven tion overcomes this ditlicults:, by placing the reservoir containing the hydro-cmlion in tile immediate neighbor hood of the burner, thus avoiding the difficulty always experienced in condensing the hydro-carbon through a long length of pipe. It is presumed that a reduction will thus he effected of 33 per cont, in the amount of con sumers' gas bills, and a better light obtained than by the present method of condensing. THE CASE OF THE "JEFFERSONIAN•"—The case of the newspaper known as the West Chester Jef fersonion, in which certain parties have applied for such action as would authorize the republication of that paper, was to hare been argued yesterday morning, in- the United States District Court. After the opening of the court the case was dismissed on the part of the Govern ment, an order from the Attorney General of the United States having been received to that effect. This Is eqUiVa lent to allowing the continuance of the paper, but the moment its existence becomes detrimental to the Govern ment it will be again stopped. FATAL REM LT.-1 little boy, four years of age, son of Officer Caldwell, of the First ward, was serivusly burned, on Sunday night, at tho residence of his parents, in the vicinity of Third awl Federal streote.

It is hosed on the power which soh- - stances have of tilssorbing heat in their conversion front the enlitl to the mowing fonn. The inventor define that a single pound of coal Lunch under a cast-iron veeset attached to the machine will produce four pounds of ice. Said vessel is tided with a liquid solution of ammo niac gas, placed on a stove, and heated to about 220 demees Fahrenheit. The gas condenses in a • second Tee-,el, which is ,hrrounded ,by roll water. The water, becoming &ailed, altimehe _mildly the ammoniev_and mo=t inyrnedini,ly freezes. The apparatus is hot yet per fected, and evidences as yet simply the fact that ice can be made. IMPROVEMENT IN SAWS.—One of our ex tensive saw manufacturers is about to inaugurate a new process of tempering saw-teeth, The apparatus Mi• tuts of a slur )-iron box, with an opening at the bottom, containing charcoal. The saw is laid upon an iron shelf, pit jecling from the bus, and the teeth are intruded through an aperture an as to he heated by the charcoal. A range of funnels or chimneys surmount the box, and a trough runs lengthwise with the saw. Either water or oil can he need to temper the points of the teeth, and after hardening them, a hot iron bar, or ianitcml oil and a wet sponge, will bring out their temper until they admit of the action of a tile. This improvement is patented. It com.titutes a very individual way of accomplishing its objet - 1, and is said to be exceedingly simple and suc cessful. TRADE WITH TILE WEST.—The trade of Phi ladelphia with the West is better at thin time than it 11:1S been for the past two years, Both the enport and Port trade of this port is lamely transacted throurli the port of New York. Our domestic exports for the first six months of 1861 were almost equal to those of the whole year 1859, and for the last three years the exports and imports compare as follows: Exports. Imports.
