[Special Correspondence of Lae Exchange,' IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Aug. 23d, 1861. • A deep gloom hangs over the business men of this city relative to national affairs. The late 'reverses have maddened them, and they are now preparing to do some thing desperate with a view of restoring, in some degree, if possible, a return of confidence in the Administration. They insist that money is King, and is as neces.. nary for carrying on the war as men, and if they are to furnish the needful, they will Insist upon regulating President Lin . coln. A committee of wealthy and influ ential men from Boston, New York and Pialiders have left to-day for Washing ton, an will demand of President Lin coln that several highly important changes obeli be made before any more of the sinews of war will be forthcoming. They have determined that those moat estimable public servants, Cameron and Smith, shall boW their necks to the commercial axe, and their pThces be supplied by Dix and Holt. They have also determined to de capitate the "Old War Horse," who never lost a Oittle until he met the men--his brethAti—who had helped him to win his termer 'victories. These people might be as much mista ken as King Cotton was when he under. took to dictate to the Northern States.— We have no doubt wealthy and influential . men of the large commercial l oints are very much disturbed in their financial af fairs, but whether they will be relieved by the substitution of Dix and Holt for Cam eron and Smith, we very much doubt. The cancer is so deep that poultices will fail, It must be cut oat. 'CONTRA CTS. We are gratified to find Pittsburgbers at work on supplieslor the grand army. Saddlery, wagons and cavalry equip menta in large quantities are being rapidly manufactured and forwarded. A contract for shot and shell has been recently awarded here : immense orders for ordnance received lately ; all of which brings coin to our midst. We under stand some of our citizens are intereritecl in a large beef contract, the partkiularii of which we shall publish in a few, days. It affords -us great satisfaction to `.know that Pittsburgh has not been overlooked in the great scramble. Ws are 'gratified to find so large a number of able bodied, good look-ihg, sweet tempered individuals willing to accept the office of Deputy Sheriff. As we are now fairly in the field won't somebody ask ns to define our position? We really cannot think of anything we are not in favor of that , would be of advantage to the male population over twenty•one years of age and entitled to vote. We shall soon commence shaking hands and making tender enquiries after the health of the babies. _ TILE Pope is rapidly failing in health. The Milan Perseverance has a letter from Rome, which says: "The Pope is ill. He has not only the chronic affeo tiona of the legs, which are swollen and covered with large sores, but hp has a disease of the heart which may carry him off at any moment.. Dr. Carpi gives it as his opinion that he cannot live for three months." ARUST OF SAMUEL EAKIN-- Samuel Eakin was arrested in Phila delphia as a 'Southern agent yesterday. He is connected with Mr. Bloat, now at Etiohniond, in altering arms for the rebels. His papers seized show _his participation with the rebels. A coil of wire for a field telegraph was font id among his baggage, and over $1,00(1 in it old. 'THE SWORD SONG This magnificent lyric is the produc tion of _Korner, one of the most celebra ted young heroes in ti e great German war against Napoleon. He was attached to the "black cavalry" of Lutzow, with whom he traversed Saxony, and during which he wrote those many patriotic songs which are immortalized by the .musical genius of Weber. It is said that on:the night of August 25, 1813, he com posed this song. Next day Lutzow at -tacked the French near Gadebash, and Korner, as Lieutenant, while skirmish ing through the woods, whither the French had fled, perished between the fire of the enemy and his own men. His body was crowned with oak leaves and buried near the spot where he fell, now a celebrated resort for visitors—the at traction being a magnificent monument erected to his memory. The foes of Korner, were ancestors of Beauregard : Thou sword at my left side, What means thy flash of pride i Thou smilest so on me, I take delight in thee, Hurrah!

W ASIIINGToN ITEM* Arrest of Mayor Berrett The arrest of Mayor Berrett and his removal hence produced much sensation but no snprise, that military measure having previously been expected. It was not for the reason merely that he refused to take the oath of loyalty as an ex-officio member of the Board of Police authorized by Congress. There were other grounds, good and sufficient, to the Government for this proceeding.— A guard has temporarily been placed over his house, where his famiiy still remain. The city 'has been filled with rumors of the arrest of other residents, includ ing gentleman connected with the War Department; but the result of calm and patient inquiry shows a wonderful facil ity for Bensation inventions, and au un hesitating readiness to believe them.— Of the several woman recently taken under surveillance is Mrs. Greenhow, well known in connection with fashion able circles. She as well as the others is accused of giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The Provost Marshal's docket of such cases is not as yet filled. Mrs. Mayor Berrett. In addition to the arrests named in previous despatches, it is stated to-day that Mrs. Mayor I3errett is under arrest i n her own house. It is certain that there are two officers guarding the house but the object is probably not to deprive her of her liberty, but to prevent the mayor's private papers from being oar ried off until they have been examined Brecklurbigo at Home. Mr. Vice President Breokinridge is doing his worst to force Kentucky out of the, Union. Advertised in the tele graph reports as instrumental in allay ing the late excitement at Lexington, when the arms of the Federal Govern- went, intended for the Union merr of the State, reached there, he was in fact among the first to light the flame of pop- ular feeling. He afterwards recanted his imprudent impulse but not before he realiztd that the Government, of the United States intended to maintain itself in Kentucky at every risk. The oamp.of Col. Nelson numbers twenty five hundred splendid soldiers, all re solved to dio for the flag of the Union. It is located in the very heart of Ken tucky. English Bankers want $50,000,011ii of the Loan It is stated upon reliable authority that an offer was lately made to Secre tary Chase,:on behalf of foreign bankers to take 850,000,000 of the loan, provi ded the Government , would promise to pay the interest at Frankfort-on-the- Main. The Secretary, however, declined the offer, as he is confident in the abil ity of the Government to maintain itself without asking the aid of foreign =pi- I The Secretary ofWar...comfort of the Troops. Yesterday the Secretary of War in- Froted'the arrangements for the recap tion and accommodation of the troops on their arrival in this city. He was accompanied by Mr. Woods, the energe tic Commissioner of Public Buildings, who cordially seconds the earnest doter urination of the Secretary that nothing shall be left undone to promote the health and comfort of'the gallant defen ders of the Government. Arrest or Mrs. SeLator Gyvln Mrs. Senator G win was arrested two days ago in her own house, in this city where she has been confined ever since a proper military guard having been placed in the house to prevent any nom• munication between her and rebel spies, who, it is supposed, have been in the habit of frequenting the house. A trunk was seized at the depot in this city addressed to Mrs. Gwin. It was opened and found to contain a lot of gentleman's shirts. Some of them were sewed together, in one of which was found a map of all of our fortifica tions on the Virginia side of the river. This was an important discovery, and re. suited in the immediate arrest of Mrs. Gwin. Altogether about six persons who have called upon Mrs. Grenough, Mrs. Uwin and the wife and daughters of Mr. Philip Phillips have been arrested and held. They were Southerners, and from cireumstantial and positive evi dence obtained against them aro spies. A large number of people besides these have called as acquaintances, and upon learning the facts of the arrest and giv ing evidence of their own loyalty were allowed to leave. None of them were allowed to enter the house without being informed that they would not be allowed to pass out without an order from the Secretary of War or Provost Marshal. Consequently all callers not arrested declined entering- It is gratifying to know that the au thorities aro detemined to arrest all persons who are suspected as rebel spies. secretary Cameron and the Cabinet. Mr. Cameron's labors in the cabinet are incessant. His duties are continual, and include a greater number of im portant details than those of any other member of the cabinet. The attacks upon him by certain thoughtless or inn er ulent journals are best refuted by his own action. To him the country is largely indebted fur the reorganiza• lion of the army. There is no proba bility of his dismissal from a position in which he is so valuable; and, indeed, notwithstandin g the clamors of a part of the press, no changes will be made in the cabinet at present. Fort Lafayette Fort Lafayette, as mentioned before is built in an isolated position, on a sh oa l, about four hundred yards from the shore. The shape of the fort is quadrangular, with the sea and bay and either shore, diamond wise. Facing Fort Ilaruilton are two tiers of heavy cannon, in bomb proof casemates. On this side, which is less protected than the others, appear to be the barracks for the troops,and other necessary build ing, the roofs of which are seen risins , above the walls of,the fort. There are consequently no barbette guns here. This part of the fort, however, is com pletely commanded by Fort Ilatuilton, opposite which is the sallyport in one of the angles. On the other side guns are mounted en barbette, in addition to the heavy casemate guns below. In fact, the entire structure, whatever may he said of its capacity as a defence against foreign in vasion, seems to be more than sufficiently strong to keep in security as many State prisoners as are likely to be entrusted to the hospi tab'e care of Colonel Burke. It would sorely puzzle Jack Sheppard or Baron Trenck themselves, were these worthies alive, and confined in Fort Lafayette, to make their way out of that strong hold, surrounded as they would be by granite walls, with the sea washing their base on every side; and yet there were wiseacres who could seriously ad vise the Sheriff of Kings county to call out the militia of the county to reduce the fort, in order that the Sheriff might be enabled to arrest Lieutenant Colonel Burke on a warrant of attachment for refusing to obey Judge Garrison's writ of habeas corpus in favor of the Balti more Police Commissioners, in:lobedi to his superior, Gen. Scott. Tho law may not be exactly "an as;" in the el egant phraseology of Mr. Bumble, the beadle of the parish, in requiring Mr. Sheriff Campbell to make formal appli cation for the militia to aid him in ser ving and executing the writ, but the individuals who imagine that Fort La fayette can be reduced by ten times the !,,ree that Kings county can bring to bear against it must have very long ears. Indeed, isolated as Fort Lafay ette is. and commanded so completely by Fort Hamilton, with the sea open to the federal forces, the officer of the day on Saturday at Fort Hamilton seems justified in the remark he made, that the entire force of New York city, several times over, would not suffice to get possession of Fort Lafayette, and the prisoners confined therein The Rebel Currency. Though the rebel army is not paid in coin, still the paper promises of the confederacy circulate freely at a slight arteount. Their value, however, must diminish at every successive issue, and in a few months the ourreney will doubtless be greatly depreeiat RUSSELL AT BULL RUN. Report of an Eye-Witness of flue Ex Dr. Ray of the Chicago Tribune, who met Mr. Russell, of the London Times, on hie way back from the Bull Run battle, re views his description of the route in the following tide, which we take from his paper of last Friday: Mr. Russell's letter to the London Times, the greeter part of which wo transferred to our columns, yesterday morning, is, with many respects, a remarkable paper. We enjoyed the privilege of reading from a point a couple of allies east of Centreville, to another point a mile end. of Fairfax Court House, with Mr. Russel, and when be tells what took plaoe on that bit of road we are oompetent judges of his truthfulness and falrnes as a descriptive writer. We do not know and do not care what ho Slew, or says he saw, of the fight and the flight, before wo found him; out from the error,. and misstatements in that portion of his narrative with which we are immediately concerned, we shouli be justified In believ ing that he was nut at the battle at all, and hat, the materials fur his letter were gait trod from some Fire 7, cave or a private f the Ohio Second, who left terror-stricken in the early part of the fray, and carried the fatal news of the rout and the race to the credulous rear. We left Centreville without knowinn that a repulse had been felt, or that a retreat to that point had been ordered. Jogging leisurely down the Washington road, perhaps ten minutes —certainly not more—ahead of Mr. Rue dOll, we saw nothing of the flogging, lash ing, spurring, beating and abandoning that ho so graphically describes. The road was as quiet and clear es if no army were in the vicinity. A mile from Cen treville we mot that New Jersey Regiment, a private of which, Mr. Russeli says, threatened to "shoot him it he did not halt." The °dicers were turning back the few fugitives, not ii:dozon in all, that worn on the:r way in; but, recognized as a civil ian, as tho Tuncecorrespondent must have been, we passed to the rear unchallenged. Mr. Rus..oll, at that moment, cculd not have been half a mile behind Us. Pushing on slowly we were overtaken by Colonel Hunter's carriage, iu which he, wounded, was going to the city. Mr. Russell saw it, or says he saw it, attended by an scort of troopers, at the head of whom was a Major, who 'considered it right to take "charge of his chief and leave halbattalion." We saw no troopers nor Major. Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, of the Howe, was riding by the side of the vehi cle, and ho, a smooth faced gentleman in the garb of a civilian, may have been mistaken by our "own correspondent' for a doubtful man of war. Possibly two miles and a half from Centreville, we stopped eta road side farm house for a cup of water. While drinking, Mr. Russell passed.— We ret.ugnized him, rode along and were 'soon engaged with him in a discussion of the causes of the check—it was not then known 1,) be anything more; and, in , 1 is company we went on through Fairfax, la all a distance perhaps of six c it a ght miles - , and we can affirm that not on, in cident which he relstos as happening in that stretch had any foundation in tact,— We saw nothing of that Englishman of which be says: "It was about this time I met a cart by the roadaide surrounded by a group of sol ders, some of whom i el 4,9' on their caps. The owner, as I took him to be, was in great distress, and t d out as I passed, "fean you tell me, where the Sixty ninth ar, ' These ui.u. ssy'they are cut to pieces. ' "I can't tell you." "I'm in charge of the mails, sir, and will deliver them It I die for it. You are a gentleman and I can depend on your word. is it safe for IMO to go ot."" Not knowing the ex tent of the debacle, I assured Lim it was, and asked the men of the regiment how they happened to b 3 there. "here, the Conmel einasolf told us to go off every man on his own hook, and to fly for our lives," replied one of them. lee mail agent, who told me he was an Englishman, start ed the cart again, I sincerely- hops no bad result to himself or his charge followed my advice." We rode into Fairfax together. 'el reached Fairfax Court House ; the people, black and white, with anxious faces, were at the doors, and the infantry under arms. I was besieged with questions, though hundreds of fugitives had passed through before me." It is a small matter, this, but it marks the accuracy of the man. Not a question was asked of Mr. Russell nor of us; not a "fugitive," we dare affirm, had passed that way; the infantry—another yew Jersey Regillent, If we are not mistakon—were at their usual evening prieade, supposing, no doubt, that their companions in arms had won a great victory. "At one house I stopped to ask for water for my horse; the owner sent his see. vent for it cheerfully, the very house where we had in vain asked for something to eat in the afternoon. 'There's a fright among them,' I observed, in reply to his question concerning the commissariat dri vers. 'They're afraid of the enemy's cav alrys"Are you an American?' said the man. 'No, lam not." Well, then,' he said, 'there will be cavalry on them soon enough. Tnore's twenty thousand of the best horsemen in the world in Virginny!' " At the little one horse tavern in Fairfax, the horses—Mr. R 's and our own—were watered, by a servant; but the reported conversation did not take piece. A short distance from that inn, Mr. Russell put spurs to his animal, and, riding furiously loft us behind; he picked up ample mate real for misrepresentation, however, as be went. We point out the greatest false. hood, if one falsehood can be greeter than another, in the columns that he has delve. ted to the vindication of our troops : "Washington was still eighteen miles away. The road was rough and uncer tain, and again my poor steed was under way; but it was no use of trying to out strip the runaways. Once or twice I im agined I heard guns in the rear, but I could not be sure, in consequence of the roar of the flight behind me. It was most surprising to see how far the foot soldiers had contrived to goon in advance," It must, nave been surprising indeed! From the moment of meeting the First Now Jersey Regiment, of which we have spoken, not a soldier, unless one of a bag• gage or picket guard, did we see on the road—not one. The wagons going in were few, and their progress was not such as to indicate that they were making a retreat. 'We faced train after train going out with supplies, without guard, and without sus• picion that the army was beaten and in flight. The defeat wee not known to any on the road, not even to Mr. Russell, who informed us that our army would fall back and encamp for the night, only to renew the battle next day. The "rear of the flight behind me" is a stretch of the imagi. nation. We were "behind me," and heard the guns and marked the time as 7:15; but save our poor old thick winded steed, there was not another horse on the road within our sight. A few carriages with wounded, a few retiring civillians— none making haste, none suspecting the finale that was reached—soon passed us; but not an armed man, trioper nor foot man, was anywhere near. Mr. Russell, in the next paragraph, confesses as much: It was a strange ride, through a coun try now still as death, the white road shins ing like a river in the moonlight, the trees as black as ebony In the shade; now and A DOLLAR FOR TOUTAN--"A then a figure flitting by into the forest or Daughter of South Carolina" sap that across the road—frigriteried friend or lurks ing foe, who could say' Then the anxa Gen.

But this base servelity will not suit men born to think for themselves. The fact is, I feel more in sorrow than anger, to think —that America could nurse the eons who would strike a blow at this time at what properly belongs to the whole people. Let no impious hand be raised at this juncture of affairs, to devide or distract the Masses at, home, or embroil theta in the meshea of party politics. The Democracy of the country have wisely abstained from such pulut.oa, end now when every nerve is t:iticed to uphold the "Star Spangled Banner," the flag of one united Republic. Let it never be said that any true and loyal American will so far forget his duty to his country to devide and quarrel for paltry office, and if there are a race of mendicants in our midst who claim office on the score of mere poverty, why not raise a fund sufficient to pension such? The people have no right to be cheated by a party to elect to places of profit and trust, men of that stamp left by indulgent parents well to do in this world of strife who have squandered their patrimony in one kind of dissipation or another. This certainly can be no good reason to the tax. payers to provide office for their improvi. - deuce. Let us have men of moral, worth and sound honesty, who have carved out their own living. Such should be the recipients to fill the different positions, 'disregarding all party distinctions for the present or during the war, with men of this character the property and honor of the people would be held sacred, we have had more than enough of the bad conduct of dolts in high places where nature never intended them to go, and it Is now full time to turn a new leaf and put down any party who would wentingly offer an insult of the kind. The plundering propensities of them who of late filled important trusts, should be a sufficient warning at this time. If the Republican Convention desire fair play to all around—let them abandon party and dissolve their convention, •‘ The people in their sovereign capacity as in years gone by, choose for themselves wale out the interference of conventions, then the best men will be more likely to fill pla ces disgraced by plunderers who had the confidence of nominating conventions, and inasmuch as we are all engaged in the most laudable of all works in sustaining the Constitution and preventing traitors from tearing down the flag of the Union, under which we have Prospered, let but one sentiment animate, every true heart-- our country, now and forever. In conclu sion, let ma remark, 1 have no ulterior motives to serve. All I care for is to maintain the supremacy of the laws, to keep our beloved United States clear of al' entangling alliances The Supply of tottou In England. The supply of cotton in England continues to absorb the attention of the British press. The-London Economist of the 10th abandons the hope of get ting cotton from the United States in the regular way. It says : Since the war must continue till the North has, in the first place, wiped out the humiliation of its late defeat, and convinced itself, in the second place, of tl e capacity of the South to hold its own and to make good its position; and since one of its principal instruments of warfare, and that from which it looks for the greatest results is the strict blockade of the Southern ports—it is obvious that our chances of receiving, within any moderate time, any consid erable proportidn of the growing crop are greatly diminished The controversy cannot be speedily settled. At least six mouths, probably twelve months, must elapse according to all seeming before the Southern ports will be again open to free intercourse with Europe. If the blockade is really made effective--and the Federal Gov ernment, we may be sure, will spare no exertion to make it so-- then our usual supply of cotton from the States must be wholly or mainly foregone. We shall have to depend for the nextyear chiefly upon our present stook and our Indian resources. Under the operation of this conviction, prices, which have hitherto advanced but slowly and inadequately, will take a decided upward tendency, and orders to India will be sent out with much more liberal limits. Unusually large quantities are already on the way from that country, and from first to last we shall perhaps receive a million of ]ales. Meanwhile, the pressure has, as yet, been little feit in our manufacturing districts The spinners, as a rule, are unusually well stocked with the raw materials—many say as far forward as October. The expectation of an ad vance in price, which was certain to be considerable and might be enormous, has induced persons to supply them selves freely with goods and yarns, and as producers were determined not to al low their produce to accumulate, they have met the demand readily. And as they could, generally, at existing prices "cover themselves" (as the phrase is)— that is, escape actual loss—they have cone on producing nearly at their or-' dinary rate. Now, however, there is the commencement of a lull in the de mand; and as manufacturers are deter mined not to "stock," they will produce only as much as they can sell, and we shall soon see short time resorted to as a general measure. Already a few mills are only working tour days a week = TI TO I, no panic and little speculation; is the crdcr of the day; people are res , ilved to '•feel their way;'' and in the prevalence of this temper mer chants will probably find an escape from ruinous losses, and oneratives a security against utter destitution and non-em ploym ent We share to a considerable eaten t- , .! instinctive convictions of the Lan cashire merchants and manufacturers, that an article grown by an eager seller and consumed by an eager buyer will find its way from the one to the other, in spite of all hostile barriers and pro hibitions. The question is, after all, one of degree—and of price. We must remember that the same cause—the blockade—which raises cotton so much in Liverpool and Havre, lowers it as much in New Orleans and Mobile. The export being prevented and there being no buyer, cotton becomes a "drug" in the planting States, at the very moment when it bccomes as prec ious as gold in England—and when the same article is worth twelve pence on one side of the water and six cents on the other, while the freight is not two . cents, the loss of every other cargo to the adventurous merchant who deter mined to run the gauntlet through the blockading squadron would still leave him a handsome profit on the entire transaction. With such a prospect be fore him—to say nothing of the allure ments of the gambling character of such a trade to a speculative man—we may be perfectly sure that the venture will be made,and made on a large scale —and before long the insurance offices will begin to take cognizance of such transactions. Troops for Washington, The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer states that the Government last week received in answer to its call for troops issued on the 19th, messages from the Governors of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ver mont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine aid ".Miehigan.

Louis Republican.] SANTA FE, August4.—Later dates from Mesilla inform us of the surrrender of Major Lynde's command, at Fort Fill more, to Southern troops. The garrison is reported to have numbered fourteen companies, none of which had its com plement of men, and it is somewhat doubtful whether the prisoners --all told—exceed night hundred and fifty men if that many. Tilt Major is accused of having be trayed his trust; but before condem ming him we should first hear his ver sion of the affair. It is evident he did not make much of a defence; but he he may have been so cireumstanced as to have rendered a vigorous fight im possible. Nine companiesofEcered as follows, have been raised for the First. Regiment: Captains—J. M. Valdez, F. F. Abreact, Julian Espincsa, A. Morrison, A. H. Pfeiffer, Jesus Maria Sena y Baca, Lords Felsenthai, Rafael Chacon, Sant iago Valdez, Another company is being formed for this regiment, to be commanded by Captain Juan Gueteraez or Captain John Phillips.
