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."

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.

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„

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.

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 contractors in the Northern cities do not fur

The War Department has ordered Gen. &tun

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

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.

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

The weather to-day has been delightful, and the

but very few soldiers to be seen in the streets to

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

APPARATUS FOR MAKING 1CE.,41 . 1. John
Vaite has exhibited to us an improved portable appora
too for mithing ice. 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:
