WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1862. Wo can take no notice of anonymous communica tion*. We do not return rejects! manuscripts. < KFpyoluntary corcespondßDce solicited from all parte of tho world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used, it will be paid for. OC#“ At the Teqnest of the committee on procuring subscriptions to the citizens’ bounty fluid, wo beg leave to announce that contribu tioi s will be received at this office. THE WAR General Pope has taken the field in person, and already we have indications of a grand move ment, which cannot be long delayed. General Sigel’s corps has been advaneed, and Gen. Banks' army has been finally reviewed preparatory to moving upon the enemy . Gen. Pope has made .but one Bmull.mistake in bis military career. 1 . He has a great’ prestige to sustain, and much is ex pected of him and his army in the present cam paign. . ‘ General Mitchell has arrived in Washington. The charges preferred against him by one Colonel Horton are all false, aud will be dismissed by the War Department. Tho gallant “ star-gazing” stra tegist will be appointed to an important command in a few days. : Our naval commanders in tho Mississippi are confident that the rebel batteries at Vicksburg oan be silenced at any time, bat troops are needed to hold the place. ,:A heavy division is now on its wayi thither, and stirring news may be looked for at any inoinent. The fate of the rebel iren-clad gunboat Arkansas is said to be sealed. We have no doubt of it, for Earrsgnt knows how to ram her home as. he did the Iron-olad gunboat Manassas below. Hew Orleans. The guerillawarfare in the West continues with out any definite results Quite a desperate encoun ter has recently taken place in Southwestern Mis souri, between our forces, under Col. Guitar, and a body of 900 guerillas, in which the latter wore to tally ' . routed with the loss of one hundred men killed and wounded, a seotion of artillery, ammunition, &o , ’and one'prisoner. Now, the question is, “will ■this man be hung if he be really a guerilla?” Even these email victories should be vigorously followed up, and an end put to this unrecognized mode of warfare. ; THE NEWS, The second letter of Hon. Robert J. Walker, upon the all-absorbing topios of the day, which we publish this morning, will be read with interest. A Meeting of officers will be held at Barr’s Hotel, in Sixth street, below Chestnnt, relative to enlistments for the old regiments. Enlisting for the regiments now in the field is rather dull. General Tope has taken the field, at the head of the army of Virginia, and an important move ment is looked for soon) Letters of inquiry, relating te the pay of. sol diers'in .’hospitals-ur on furlough, should be ad dressed to the Paymaster General; relating to back pay and $l9O bounty of deceased soldiers, to tho Second Auditor; relating to pay of deceased team sters, or other employees of the Quartermaster’s Department, and for pay for horses killed or lost in . thS'seryice, to the Third Auditor ; relating to tho pay and bounty of persons in the marine or naval service, to the Fourth Auditor; about soldiers in the army, to the Adjutant General, , • News from Key West has bean received, under date of the 20th.inst. The United States gunboat Meroeditft had paptured a schooner, loaded with cotton, trying to run the blockade near Bogue In let, North Carolina. From Richmond and Petersburg papers received at this office, we have important advices up to the 25thinst. ■■ The hews from Mexico is unimportant. The French army has been furmshed wiih fresh sup plies. A quarrel had taken plaoe between three Mexican generals, but the result will not bo of any Importance.: ■ Extracts frbrii our New Orleans files, this morn ing, are tp the 20th instant, and convey the in-' telligeuoe that the oity is remarkably healthy and quiet. 3. N. Brown, commander of the rebel ram Arkansas,- wa« formerly a lieutenant in the Federal navy, hut was permitted like others to join his friends South.' He returned home, in the* frigate Nißgara, and proclaimed strong Secession senti ments, which so incensed a large class of oitizeni in Boston, that it was (inly through tho interven tion of the police that he escaped a mobbing at the head of State street. He has made good his decla ration of his purpose to “ return to his native State, and fight under the Confederate flag.”. An old colored woman, formerly a slave, is now residing in Rahway, New Jersey. She was the nurse pf Preston S. Brooks, and has a large family of ohildren, all of them slaves, “ Massa Brooks” she describes as a bad hoy, and a cruel man to his people, whom he whipped terribly and fed in a miserable manner. His brutality in childhood was fairly parent to the ferooity of his manhood Commodore FarrAgut is reported to be making another out-off at Terrapin Neck. This point is three-fourths of a mile across.

Dr. McGkeqor arrived in Washington,.yester day aftornoon, from Salisbury, North Carolina. He mossed with Colonel Corcoran during his im prisonment at that place, and reports that the colonel is in good health, but there is no immediate prospeot of his release. Yesterday afternoon, seventeen Confederate prisoners ' arrived at the Camden-street depot, Baltimore, from Harper’s Ferry and Winchester.

United States demand notes are worth 1071 at present. The money market Is rather dull. An Army Medical Board, composed of Surgeons Brinton, Cly mer, and Assistant Surgeon Webster, TJ. S. A., for the examination of brigade surgeons; and staff and volunteer surgeons, and: assistant surgeons, and contract physicians, is to be held in Washington. 1 The examination is a thorough prac tical one, both with regard to surgical operations and bedside experience. It is calculated to test the real knowledge of the candidate. Burnside has been in New York for a day or two past, travelling around incognito. He was re cognized yesterday by one of his wounded soldiers, and forced to make a speech on the sidewalk, which he did in his usual happy manner, urging tho fiU ing up of the regiments at present in the field; We present today two interesting letters from Fortress Monroe, one from Memphis, and another from Vicksburg.

Walker possosses the remarkable faculty of exhausting every subject upon which ha treats. Ho mas- ters bis theme and consumes all opposition wJWfc his arguments. With a wonderful me mory, a profound knowledge of men and Statesmanship, a familiar insight into the ways of Government, and an experience of many years in.positions responsible and exalted, he also possesses a ripe scholarship, a keen intellect, and that boldness of originality :and conception which' is only an attribute of .the first minds,. And although we have seen: Hr. Walker in many glorious positions, and have read many glorious and glowing thoughts from hiS;,pen, we have never seen him to bot- advantage than in the attitude he now as sumes. A Senator from Mississippi, .and a statesman of the Southern school, he is ardently devoted to tho’ Union, which another Senator from Mississippi is seek- Ing to destroy, and has cast his lot' with the Northern people in their war for constitu tional liberty. He now appears before the country as the exponent and defender of the emancipation policy of the Administration, sustaining it by a close and cogent system of reasoning. In the' case of Maryland he de-. monstrates as cleagiy as though it were a pro blem in mathematics, bow Maryland might have added to her power, her wealth, her prosperi ty and her greatness, had she adopted tho emancipation policy in the early p-irt of her history; and furthermore, that great good will yet flow from the adoption of such a po licy. On ibis point, and on the other points introduced, Mr. Walker’s letter is convinc ing, and the truths he writes with so much calmness arid force wilt be welcomed and studied by the honest statesmen of the slave States. ■ .' We applaud the action of his Honor the .Mayor in reference to the Concert Saloons. As we understand the case, it seems that a citizen of this city opened the Continental Theatre—an establishment on Walnut street, under the soft name of “ Music Hall”—or ganized dramatic and musieal entertainments, arranged attractive scenery, and opened a bar for the sale of liquors, more particularly lager beer. In order to enhance these attractions, a number of young ladies.wera engaged to minister to-the wants.: of the spectators by carrying beverages from the bar to the con sumer, and making themselves generally useful and attractive. The attentions of these fe males became so ostentatious and notorious that the matter came to the knowledge of the' Mayor, and, after hearing the matter, he de cided that no more such enteitainments would be permitted, and that the establishment should be closed. . , Those of our readers who arc at all ac quainted with our city customs will under stand the nature of these entertainments. They appeal to prurient tastes, and foster ail manner of immorality and crime. Young men, about entering the world, and ambitions to jemulate the dazzling wickedness of their se niors ; boys, who have escaped from parental discipline, and seek a place of amusement be cause the features are abundant and the ad mission cheap; romantic young men, whose ideas of dramatic art are confined to blue fire and loud noises, and who find wit and humor in the incoherent rhymes of a performer in charcoal ; men with unhappy homes, pick pockets, gamblers, idlers; men with ,a visible amount of leisure and no visible means of sup. .port—all throng to these places to drink beer, and smoke horrible cigars, and shout, with wild and livid eyes, over obscene and disgusting ex hibitions of human frailty. Boys of innocent years, but covered with; guilt and misfortune; homeless, wandering precocious boys assemble: night, after night, and, after the performance is over, sink away to sleep among chairs and benches, 'reeking; smoke, the fumes of beer, and the debris of tobacco. Added to this, we have the awful degradation of womanhood de veioped to an extent that makes us shudder. Amid all these scenes of riot and debauchery, girls of gentle yours, and fair to behold, at tend to welcome new guests and entertain those present; to submit to insult and scorn, and words of infamy and shame. Long after mifipigbt,. and far into the morning, these orgies are maintained, and when our citizens are quietly slumbering the highway echoes with tho shouts of ribaldry, and red lan terns flicker over the pavement; That such scenes as tbeso have occurred in our- city, and in other cities of the North, we have been credibly informed, and do most devoutly believe. The evidence submitted to his Honor the Mayor, in the case before him, was conclusive, and perfectly justified the de cision he pronounced. There are to be no more concert saloons, with liquors indiscrimi nately sold, and pretty .waiter-girls jn attend ance. The Mayor is imperative, and will see Hs commands obeyed. We ace glad that such is to be tlio case, and in tho name of the community, we thank his Honor for having so promptly interfered with these infamous pro ceedings. The startling dimensions being rapidly as sumed by this guerilla warfare demand from ns more than a passingriotice in the news-column. In explanation of those petty descents, it is Said that the breaking up of a hugearmy like Beauregard’s necessitates the individual efforts of small bands to obtain subsistence ; that these attacks can always bo repelled by the-inhabitants of the districts upon which they are made, and that their-issues must generally be more disastrous to the rebels than to ourselves. We are no alarmists, and we do not mean now to attract attention away from the main strategic points of this war ; but a correct understanding of these affairs, which Seem to us of minor account, will have an influence en the general conduct of the war. It may be that they are not separate local affections, but symptoms, ingeniously veiled, of the great central disease that is draining our life-blood; and, therefore, we insist upon a rigorous analysis and fair adjudication of the verdict that seems to be popular just now. That opinion assumes, first, that Beaure gard’s army is broken up. Granted ; but is it so far shattered as to necessitate spreading little dots of force, over wide areas ? It as sumes, secondly, that the obtaining of com missary stores is the cause of these forays. Denied, point blank. It is an effect of the fo ray, but the cause lies deeper—as deep as hate ot hehrt and guile of head, and full stomachs are only accessory to it. Thirdly, it assumes that the resident population of a district can always repel the rebel hordes suddenly hurled upon them. Another obliteration o t facts for the sake of comforting theories. The histori cal record shows that they can do no such thing—at least till the guerillas have effected all their minor purposes. And, fourthly, the prevalent idea puts the balance of injuries in flicted on the wrong side. Let us look at facts. A despatch from Louisville, dated the 11th, was our first an nouncement of any trouble in Kentucky:— “ The 11th Michigan has just returned from a three-days’ chase of Morgan.” Vastly satis factory 1 The famed guerilla chief had dared to show Ms head again in Kentucky ; but he had been compelled to show the weakness of his hand, for a single regiment had unsuccess fully chased his runaway legs tor three days 1 A pleasant little expedition for these jolly boys of Michigan!, An invigorating health trip through the green valleys and wild-wooded hills of Kentucky 1 A flying rebel renegade in front of them, the glorious scenery of Ken tucky around them; and United States stores within them, they took a hard gallop of three days, and cheaply vindicated their military prowess. But, hold! The wires are thrilling with some very different tale. From Tennes see come bewildering tidings. Forrest is near Murfreesboro’; bnt there is a stout Fede ral force there, and the place will be held. Alas, for the Michigan prestige! Two regi ments of the comrades of the gay Kentucky riders are taken prisoners, and their two generals share their fate. Then is all Nashville in ter rible alarm. The guerillas are reported at various points committing all sorts of depre dations. Reinforcements are vehemently called for, and, arriving, are marched hither and thither in tbe vain hope of confronting the enemy. Meanwhile, Morgan is making a still more brilliant career. So swift, shrewd, and stealthy are his movements that the mayor of Cincinnati is appealed to simultaneously for reinforcements from Louisville,” Lexington, and Frankfort. Morgan is here ; Morgan is there; Morgan is everywhere, except whero a superior body of Federal troops happens to be. He creates a wilder excitement,'amore helpless tumult, than any of the war’s legiti mate operations. In the three cities above mentioned, and in all the adjacent towns, business is suspended, martial law declared, armed patrols of citizens compel every: one to do military duty; in brief, the whole state of, society is disorganized and the utmost feeling of uncertainty and insecurity ; engendered. The guerillas laugh in their sleeves, carry out rapidly but systematically their pro arranged plans, move upon and take Lawreneevillo, Versailles, Hafrodsburg, Danville, Hender-, son, Paris, Cyntbiana; barn bridges', tear up railroads, blow up culverts,- destroy all valua ble private property that Is large enough game, cross to Newburg, Indiana, and having fur-' nished themselves liberally with supplies, horseg, and recruits, naske their way back into Tennessee through Cumberland Gap—a good* deal damaged in their homeward trip, but safe in'the'main. j But hardly were our; ears thoroughly con futed with this multitudinous clamor, when still other messages poured in from Northern Mis souri to increase the hubbub. .There wore irruptions of the guerilla barbarians there also, and alarm was spread through ail these bor ders. Now, there is one fact common to all these forays, and it ought to explain their in tent—their remarkable agreement in time: they all commenced within the same twenty-four hours. So far, we take it, were they from be ing mere transitory impulses of cupidity or reveDge. that they were legitimate parts of trie plans and policies lying at the basis of the re bellion, They were organized at Richmond, and any man who can seein them nothing mors than attempts to get supplies and men will have to sharpen his military wits materially be fore he can appreciate the unscrupulous mode in which rebeidom is determined to push its war to a successful close. With a universal con scription act, what does the rebel Administra tion care for the handful of men Morgan can pick up in Kentucky ? With the vast fertile fields of tbejfar South, of what account to it is the little produce which Morgan can wring from a few Kentucky farmers? There is, indeed, a physical advantige thus gained, though it is not booty : a thorough survey of our forces, qnd revealment of our weak paints. But what tb'e rebels chiefly seek, in such law less attacks,! is a moral effect. These bandits inspire terror through all the country upon which they descend, and it is a fear that can not be laid akide when Its immediate cause is cancelled. It resolves, itself into a chronic apprehension. It not only keeps man at home, but it spires universal skepticism as to our success. It creates a feeling-of vague restlessness and uncertainty. Life and pro perty are every instant exposed to peril; the great United States has.possessed a country, bntcannot afford decent protection to its loyal inhabitants—men who have sacrificed every thing t,o maintain their allegiance; is it .likely that there wifi bo any very fierce gusts ot en thnsiasm towards us? Is it not likely tbit every spark of faith in ns will he utterly quencbed ? Surely hero is a reward well worth the rebels’venture. flow can this thing ba. stopped? Directly, not at all, or at best, but imperfectly by the citizens of i,he places attacked.: Indirectly, easily. A million of able-bodied men await but our word to ally themselves with us bodily, .as they are with us in heart. A magnificent black blister as a counter irritant ! A gue rilla power, such as the world hasPover seen I One which, once fairly set in motion, would call back not only the hordes that are desola ting No> them homes, but divert the aims of tile whole rebel arm. Will we use it? Or 'shall we go on for another year, paying bit terly in blood for our culpable irresolution ? - Shall we be content with general statements, as to “the desirableness of using every means that; will secure., our salvation,!’ and so- hum bug ourselves into the belief that we are very bold ? The causa is too great to permit such iiamby-pambyism; the crisis is - too imminent to let ns dawdle with geno-al terms. We want specific measures of the boldest kind.. We must save the State at any cost; swallow our pre ridices; shut our hearts to the suggestions ot the rebel devil in the shape of criminal leniency, and; not only strike ourselves, but make those strike whose future is as depend ent on this struggle as our own ? Early in September a ihoeting of the new “ Holy Alliance” will take place, either at Baden-Baden* or at Cologne. The high con tracting parties on this occasion are AißXAN der of Russia, William of Prussia, and Na poleon of France. The compact is not an original one. In 1815, after the second de feat of Napoleon 1., the respective rulers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia bound themselves by oath to a conspiracy against the liberties of Europe. Their nominal purpose was to regu late the'States of Christendom on Christian principles, but their seal purpose was to put down Legitimacy and suppress : Liberalism among the nations. ' . : With three exceptions, most of the Eu ropean Powers joined this un-Holy -League. For obvious reasons, Turkey was not counted in. Tho Pope (Pius VIL, a conscientious man,) declined giving the sanction of bis ad hesion to it. England declined any formal consent to the principles of the Alliance, but was moro or less friendly to them until, in 1822, when/ having become Foreign Minister on the death of Lord Casilereagh, Mr. Can ning repudiated the conspiracy, hot alone by words, but by action, and soon; after threw down the gauntlet, by recognizing the inde pendence of the newly-formed South Ameri can Republics. Byron, who hold democrttic opinions, thongh himself one of the greatest aristocrats of bis time, described the Holy- Alliance as An earthly trinity ! which wears the shape Of Heaven’s, aa man’s is mimicked by tne ape, . A plans unity ! in purpose one- Tbrntlt three fools to a Napoleon.” The terms of the Holy Alliance, drawn up by Alexander I. of Russia, and acceded to by the sovereigns of Prussia and Austria, by an ; oath on the Gospel, particularly excluded, for ever, the members df the, Bonaparte family from all the thrones of Europe. 'ln 1821, tho revolutions in Naples and Piedmont were nut down by this Holy Alliance—whoso latest action was to compel France to restore abso lutism in Spain, in 1823. On the death of Alexander in 1825, the Alliance expired of inanition. That compact, entered into at a time when France was prostrate at the feot of the Allied sovereigns who had combined their armies and money to overthrow the great Na poleon, not only did not admit Of the compa nionship of Louis the Eighteenth, but espe cially placed the whole of Napoleon’s' family under ban. Of the new alliance, formed by Na poleon’s nephew, Emperor of the French, and, in his way, as remarkable a man as his great predecessor, the evident purpose is to place Austria under ban. We have only to look at foreign affairsto become aware of this. Russia, which put down the Huugariau rebellion in 1849, and thereby saved the Austrian empire from the loss of a large portioh of its territory, naturally calculated, when France andEogland commenced what is called the Crimean war, I upon the support of Austria, or, at least; upon its neutrality. Mike Prussia, which declined to interfere, Austria played the ingrate, and, though Ifer army did not join the combatants in the Crimea, it occupied Waliachia and Mol davia, which Russia had seized and surren dered. Hence, Russia has a spite against Austria. Besides, Russia has a deafre to strengthen herself in the southeast of Effrope, at the expense of Turkey, and the weakening of Austria would certainly help to procure the realization of that desire. Prussia,; heading the Protestant, as Austria heads the Catholic interest in Germany, has a determined and intelligible purpose in depressing its rival, and therefore has readily joined this league. France has an object in doing something which will show its influence in regulating the affairs of Europe, and may perhaps desire to punish'the scanty cordial! ty ’towards himself which, at all times, Austria has exhibited. Besides, there may be the ultimate hope of gaining territory for France out of the weak ness of Austria. ... Tbe recognition of Italy by Russia and Prussia has evidently been effected by the in tervention ol Napoleon ; the restrictions im posed on Victor Emmanuel as Jo non-inter ference with Venetia and Rome are only nominally stringent; Let Austria once be involved in war, and who will answer for Venetia and Rome, when Garibaldi claims them as part and parcel of Italy 1 The recog nition of Victor Emmanuel may be con sidered as the first movement of the tripartite alliance of France," Russia, ' and ’ Prussia: Why should this have been done ? Because, while It ostensibly secures Vonotia to Austria, and Rome to the Pope, whom Austria espe cially protects, it strengthens Victor Em manuel and correspondingly weakens, and annoys Francis Joseph, whom ho has de prived of fertile Lombardy. The whole object seems to be to level Austria down to the status of a second-rate State.. Bankrupt and defence less as she is, this can very readily be done. Notwithstanding the demoralizing influence which the rebellion has unquestionably exerted upon the Southern mind, inthe seceded States, there are still gratifying Indications that pro bity and honor have not been entirely ex tinguished 'by tho flood of treason in that sec tion. Indeed, we ought not to forget that the wholesale swindle of repudiation, which lost at a blow over four hundred million dollars, capital to Northern merchants, was the act of rebellion in the aggregate, and not of indi viduals. There is scarcely a day passes with out bringing to us some intelligence showing clearly that one of the first modes in which the Unionists at tin/ South will make them selves heard will be by paying their Northern debts , as , soon as they have guarantied to them the means of doing so in safety. We see this in the daily remittances of money now being received in Philadelphia, and otter Northern cities, from the partially liberated Border States; either in payment" of old accounts, or accompanying orders for 1 THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 30. 1862. goods. Another equally effective, though' more hazardous means employed for the safiie end, is the shipment to the North of Southern produce. A single commission .house, on Chestnut street, received from* affirm in Ten nessee, a few days since, one hundred and thirty bales of cotton, with instructions to sell, pay themselves out ot it, for merchandise bought before the rebellion broke out, and re tain the balance, (a handsome sum at the pre-i sent high price of cotton,) subject to the order of the consigners. It is not to be expected thatthe latter form of liquidating Northern obligations will betex tensively resorted to very soon, for the two fold reason that the cotton crop, for the most part, has been destroyed, and the attempt to ship North what remains is alike dangerous to the cotton and those 'who ship it. Even within ten miles of Memphis the cotton-burn ers are said to have full sway. Binds of these marauders make it their business to prowl about tho country and ascertain,’by stealth, who has any cotton on hand, and whether its owners are willing to sell. If they are, the torch is at once applied, and theinjured owner may think himself fortunate if ho. escapes a se verer punishment for his willingness to sell that which, under the rule of the would be new Cotton Kingdom; dare only be burned or held. Under these circumstances, the re ceipt of cotton for a time, at least, must be limited, much less, in fact, than' the demand for current consumption; thongh it is not • improbable that under the high prices at which cotton now rules, and the still higher prices which at .must attain, the quantity stored by parties indebted to the North, will, in due time, go far towards meeting their old obligations, and, from’the indications above referred to, it is not presuming too much upon the honor of some, at least, who arejno w apparently arrayed against us, to suppose that it will in many cases be applied to that object. Tde Subscriptions to the Citizens’ Bounty Fund continue to be made generally on a litferat scale, though some few. of them are in afapunt much below the expectations of the community. All the subscriptions, however, that have bum made so far, are purely voluntary. * The ; com. rnittee, at their session yesterday, invired Ad jutant General Russell and Colonel Ruff, of U. S. A., to meet them to day. •It is expected that the committee' will determine, at its next meeting, the amount of b runty they will distribute to each volunteer, and define tbejr action generally. We learn that, for the present, sub ward committees will not be .ap pointed, as it is thought the fund can bo made up to $600,000, speedily, by purely voluntary contributions. We are glad to learn that the committee have been furnished with thd cor rect lists of the assessors of all the wards, and know positively who are the solid men of Philadelphia. ) The sympathizers with Secession and Treason shrink with horror from all asso ciation with the friends of the Union. Nothing is so. contaminating in their eyes. They have passed from the moderate stage ot secretly expressing their views, .and now ap pear in newspapers and declaim at public dinners. The folio wing. card, publi shed as an advertisement in one of yesterday’s .morning papers, proves that Mr. Biddle,' if not of this class of conscientious men, Is at least! most anxious to prove that he does not belong to those who support tho Governmentand°de nqqnce the traitors.

Philadelphia, 28th July, 1862. . • - Our correspondent at sends us a haridb.il which bad been gratui tously thrown around the streets of Rich mond, and Which he'obtained from a Union soldier. It is dated Richmond, June 23d, 1862, ai.d is signed ’“ B.) a Louisianian.” It is en titled an “ Appeal to the North,” and is filled with elaborate denunciation of the Govern mtnt and our people. Its author is intensely hitter upon Mr. Seward and Mr. Lincoln, whom he accuses of a design npori the liber ties of the country.* In doing so, its author introduces an extract from a letter of our dis tinguished townsman, : General Patterson, which will show what that gentleman’s opinions were at the time it was written, and how little j they have been changed since: For my part, Ido not think he will. True, the 1 “.wish may be father to. the thought,” on my part f°r I freely; confers myself .a devoted lover of the old Constitution arid Union, and unalterably opposed.-' to monarchy and oppressiori ih anyshape or form.' I tbink I see a trap set into which Seward and his* whole clan will fail, and by which the liberties of the Northern people may yet be: restored. General Patteison, Cashing,’Dickinson, and hundreds of Other Northern Democrats, are watching the trap, and I shall be much mistaken if they do riot Patch their game when it is sprung i * The following ex tract from a letter to me, by General Patterson, will no doubt strengthen;.my prediction. ;The letter is dated: . “Philadelphia, Maroh 6,1861. “I hope, with yon, that onr national difficulties will yet be amicably settled, and we be again united in interest, friendship, and feelings, as in.the:olden times of Jackson, Jefferson, and Washington. It makes me sick to think of the condition of our country, caused by unprincipled leaders on both sides..

BARG EVERY VILLAIN OF.THEM FIFTY FEET HIGH ER THAN lIAStAN WAS. ” . These are days of admonition. And as some of the patty leaders in this vicinity are making themselves busy to prevent loyal men from enlisting in the army of the United States, it may be well enough to remind them that there is an act, passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, on the 18th of April; 1861, of which the following is Section I. We un derstand that some of these partisans have latterly been very industrious, in telling per sons willing to enter the service, “that it would be better for them not to do so, because this is an Abolition intended for the sub jugation of our Southern friends Section 1.

Review of Gen. Ban Its' Army. Little Washington, Va., July 29.—A grand review of Gen. Banks’army corps took place to day, two miles from town. The weather was fine. Several hours were occupied in field. evolutions and manoeuvres by divisions ; The whole review was creditable to thevarious commanders, but showed the necessity of more frequent drills en, masse. The magnificent artillery arm elicited warm applauso from all observers. Tho recent re moval of tho camps to a more favorable ground has benefited tbo health of .the troops. There has been considerable mortality.and sick ness in the 60th New York Regiment. The other regiments are improving in their sanitary condi tion. . There is no news from the front of the lines to-day. We invite attention to the advertisement of “Enterprise,” under Wants, in The Press of this morning. The opportunity offered is a desirable LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.’' "Washington, July 20,18G2. The venerable A. B. Johnson, of Utica, New .York, has for many years been a re spected and influential member of the Demo cratic party, and, in a late communication in favor of prosecuting the war, he utters the following significant and thoughtful sentiment: s“ The South would have neve? hazarded rebel lion if they had expected an undivided North.” There is so much philosophy in this remark that Y : 'deem;; this a-proper occasion, to reeaii attention to the record of those who are now engaged in a system, the main Object of which is to divide the free people of the:free States into factions, iri ordei to encourage the rebels and to prepare the way for a disgraceful peace. The Secret of the opposition of these men to the present 'war is to ho found in the hope they entertain ol.bi-ing able: to create such dissensions in every community as will, embarrass, the Go jV.ernment and assist the common enemy. Let me go back to the evening of Wednesday, of January 16,1861, and to the meeting hold on that evening at National Hall, in tho city of Philadelphia. At the time ‘this inhering was held, the loyal people of the whole country were watching with intense solicitude the movementtj, of the traitors, and were pre paring to cbeckmate them. It , would ba nnjqst to reveal the names of all the politi cians who took part ia this demonstration, for several of: theiri subsequently repented their action and Sre now to be found cordially co operating with the friends of the Administra-' tion and the war. Those who remain impeni tent, and continue to insist upon the doctrines then and thcro. laid down, while they deserve the credit for consistency, deserve; also, the credit of being once more made known to the public. Now, as than, they are engaged in itbe bad,work of dividing the loyal people of ■Pennsylvania. I will not, however, brake* them; objects of public scorn. The commu nity cannot have forgotten tho spirit ihat ani mated them on the occasion referred to. The following resolution was among those adopted* at the meeting of the 16th of January, 1861; • llef-olvtd, I cat in ;.tio deliberate judgment of the : Dembcratsy of Philadelphia, aod, 8u tar ns we know >ic, of-Pennsyivariia, the dissolution of the Union, -byi the’separation of the wfiolo South, a result we : shall most sineerely!iament,vi«»v rekdM this ■ Oommonwealth i -tO / a large extent, fro nr the bonds * ,u-hzrh npto- connect her ‘with tlie ,Coo.federuov. - except so far as, for temporary iibnveateace., she -chooses to * submit to them, and: would authorize * ana require her eitizous, through a'Oouvention to bo assembled for that purpose, to 'determine with whom her lot should, be; cast, whether' with- the North and East, whose, fanaticism, has precipi tated this misery’upon its. or with bur brethren of -the. South. whose wrongs we feel as oar' own, or whether, Pennsylvania should stand by leersUf, as. a distinct community, ready, when occasion oflire. to bind together the broken Union, and re sume her place of loyalty aid devotion. This resolution, offered, advocated, and adopted by what was called a “Democratic ’mooring,” is to-day the gospel of the men now arrayed against,the Administration and the war,in the State of Pennsylvania. Their ob ject is, if possible,* to seduce Pennsylvania from her allegiance to the Union, to add her to the seceded States, or to make her the agent of a disgraceful peace. The leaders in this National Hall meeting, with several ho norable exceptions, are still toiling to divide the American people, in order to accomplish any one of these results. ,- ; If they cannot in duce her to join bands with the seceded South, they,may ot least,'so' they believe; induce her to be the first to compel the Government to y ield to the dernands of the seceded South. If we go back and remember that at the time this resolution was parsed, several of Mr. Bucha riau’s Cabinet were engaged in a series of almost public preparations tor tho war that followed his retirement from the Presidency, we shall Jjo, startled; atrthe audacity which located upon any. portion of the people of the free States the responsibility ,of secession. But this emotion' will subside before the indignation which must fire every honest heart that the men guilty of 'this assumption in January of 1861 should now maintain, by. ail their acts, almost precisely the same position they occupied at, that time. It is true, they conceal their puiqmses; they do not speak as loudly nor as strongly as they spoke at National Hail, but they continue, so far as their personal safety will allow them to do so, to act out the doctrine set forlh in this resolution. Occasionally they are betrayed into an utterance of it at a private military banquet, and,, .as Anthony Trollope in his “ Noitii America ”_saTB. they_dq;not .hesitata to.express it at social dinners. Occasional. FROM WASHINGTON. Special Despatches to “ The Press.” Washington, July 29, -1882. The Capture of the British Iron-Steamer T übal Gaia Captain David Porter, of the United States pavy, whosesignal services in the lower Mississippi have rendered him so conspicuous, reached Wash ington yesterday, having sailed with his ship, the Ootorara, from New Orleans on the 17th instant. She came into Hampton Roads, whence’she imme diately proceeded to this city. * AiiSordiag to uaptain Porter’s report to the Navy Department, ho captured on the 24th instant, after an exeiting chase,' the British iron screw- Btesiner Tubal Cain, in latitude 31 deg. 51 min. north; longitude 78 deg. 23 min. west. She was then - steering northwest by north for the port of Charleston. She-sailed from Nassau,;N. P., on Sunday, the 20th of July, in company with (wo other steamers, all loaded with arms and munitions of war, and, if not intercepted, tho others are by this time safe in port; The evidence against the Tubal Cain is vory clear, the fact that she is loaded with munitions of war, and was steering for Charleston, being sufft cient to condemn her. There is, however, much other corroborative evi denoe that her errand was to run tbo blockade, the had not broken hulk since leaving Europe in April last, and had been waiting for a month at Nassau to run tho blockade. Her cargo is very valuable, being, It is understood, almost entirely of arms and munitions of war. Tho captain tried, du ring tho chase, to rid her of tho saltpetre she car ried , but was taken with thirty tons of it still oh' board. ' Capt. Porter sent hex to New Yorker condemnation. Arrests for Disloyalty. The police and military authorities have made several; arrests yesterday and to day, of persons whowero freely uttering disloyal sentiments.

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC Hi! AB QUARTERS OP TUB An»V OP THE POTOMAC, , July 29,1302. Dr. Wilhanis,-wili» Las lieen-a prisoner at Sa?is bury, H. U., for several months, and who arrival here on Saturday, haying been unoooditionntly r'o leasedirftates that for ten days- after the battles in front of Richmond, a, thousand .rebel troops passed through that town daily on their way to Kiohmond and more were on their way. The D .etor’s win dow overlooked the railroad and depot, giving him a good opportunity of ascertaining what was going on. These troops came from James Island and eastern Georgia. : • ■ Among other facts ascertained by the Doctor was that eleven thousand troops, were at Charlottes ville waiting, transportation ’ to. ißichmond; .’'that thirty thousand conscripts had been raised in each of the States of Tennessee and Georgia Binee the 9th of July , and a proportionate number in the other extreme Southern States. Ha heard the ad jutant of Colonel Goodwin, who commands the H> oBt at Salisbury, and' who had just corao from Richmond, stato that the adjutant of General Hill told him that the rebels bad oue hundred and seventy-three thousand troops. engaged in the hit tie of seven days. Dr. Williams was accompanied by Dr. Stone, who was taken prisoner at Buirßauj and who corroborates the statement so far as re lates to the movement of troops on their way up to Richmond. ..They passed long trains of empty oars on their way South. If these statements are true, and there is every reason to believe.thatthey are, it shows that the rebels are staking their all in this State, by ooa- 1 centrating within its borders an overwhelming force. General MoClellan spent the entire day, yester day, in visiting the different hospitals, speaking words of encouragement to the sick and wounded, and seeing that their wants are properly adminis tered to.. The boats, to-day, brought down 495 wounded, from Richmond, leaving about 700 yet to come. From P’oriree* Monroe. Fortress Monroe, July 28.—Some days ago, as was reported, ! learned that there waa a largo rebel force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery being con centrated in the neighborhood of Petersburg, and along the banks of tho James river, between the junction of tho Appomattox and James rivers and Richmond. ,0b Friday, the 26th, when the Union prisoners w ere being conveyed from Richmond to City Point, at every side-track and turnout they passed trains of cars laden with rebel troops headed to ward Richmond, and some robe! officers offered as an apology for bringing down our prisoners on freight bars, that they wore using all thoir passenger bars in moving troops to roinforoe Jackson. It is most pos tiMe that this was all a movement intended to dis guise tho foot that the rebels are now in strong forces between Richmond and the Appamattox river, and still collecting forces and sending them in that di rection, and what strengthens this opinion is the pains taken to inform our prisoners and officers in charge that the movepoont of troops was a rein forcement to General Stonewall Jackson, and that no one knew where ho was, but they knew how to reach him with reinforcements. ' Mail steamer arrived this P, M. from Harrison’s Landing, but brings no news.

A Fuggestion Relative to Re- CEUITING.-—A military officer sends ns a communica tion, in which be makes a suggestion relative to recruit ing, &c.' Besays:-o :-..j „;“A large amount of money has been subperibed by our patriotic.citizens and corporations, as a bounty for those' who are willing to volunteer in the defence of onr Union. There men cannot be recruited without officers, and offi cers cannot orgabize regiments a>d recruit men without subjecting themselves to many incidental expenses. Many ,pi the officers, who are now devoting time and labor in recruiting regiment?, unfortunately are In want of means to enable them successfully and speedily to accomplish their, purpose. Theiefore, 2- would suggest that a por tion of; the money already, subscribed-by citizens and corporations should be appropriated, to each regiment oiganized, or being organized, to : Qefrav ihe expenses necessarily incurred by the officers in the formation of tlieir regiments (say $6OO to $l,OOO to each regiment). If refibei ts are not formed and lewuits called for, the Bums already sub*cnbod will not hoof the use, from the face that no one will be entitled to any bounty, l ’ jThis suggestion is worthy of consideration.
