Thompson has addressed tho fol lowing circular letter to those who were under his command during the late war: N " Boston, " Mass., Sept 3, 18G7. -Gentlemen: I have received various letters trom among you, asking what I mean by my letter to Mr. .Pren tice, of the Louisville Journal, Indorsing General Longslreetr and wbat advice I have to otter jou as to jour political course? I have delayed answering these letter, in hopes that 1 would aoon return to New Crieaus; but, finding that I cannot return for several weeks, and otacr let ters having come that will broolt no delay, I have determined to address jou a circular, that I may no longer be misrepresented and misun derstood among those who were my true friends in our darkest hours, and with whom I have ahared so many hardships and dangers, suc cesses and deteata. - One of tbe letters received contains the gist of all, andwiil answer it; it says: "Longstreet 'Skver fimi'H . .throughout the country n.ch became the theatre of his iuisnortality, tjA your old friends aie not re-erved 'rn taeir JUHLUHIUHH HDH TIRf.

'ol lower at the end, and who durln, ole struggle was with you at tbe front, or a nnsoner of war, will positively assert and manfully main tain my right to express my opinions freely upon all subjects affecting the welfare of the South, to and among Southrons, without fear or favor from chimerical theorists or bomb-proof poli ticians. If the war was to defend the South In the exercise of its belief of the right 10 secede, then I do not regret tbe tight, though, l may have to grieve over the death of this theory. If the war was to preserve African slavery, then I do not regret tne struegle, though I do grieve over the loss of $4,000,000,000 worth of property, and the ead fate that awaits the poor negro; but if we fought four years simply for the personal triumph of some political partisans, a few of whom would still make ns believe that the country is ruined only becouse they are ex cluded from office, then I sincerely regret the conflict, and will grieve anew over the graves of tbe brave men who fell around me. I must again repeat that "I did not fight the United States because I hated the United tstates. I did not tight the North because I haled the North," but I fought for what I conceived to be the honor, the safety, and the material interests of tbe Southern people, and I am struggling now, in another way, to accomplish the same object, and I will make as many sacrifices, and labor as earnestly and persistently, as any man In the South to control the political elements, to devise plans and projects, and put in success ful operation enterprises that will build up our poor, desolated, and impoverished country. This is what the South really needs; this Is all the truly patriotic men of the North ask; and I will advocate the best plans, in my ludgment, to accomplish the object, reeardless of who originates or supports them. Whigs, Democrats, Federals, Republicans, Radicals, Conservatives, or Eclectics. This is all the defense I need. Tell the people. I am still tor the honor, safety, and material prosperity of the South, and while I will not cast a shadow on the graves of our dead, or ex tinguish one ray of tbe glory ot our manly struggle, yet I must bid the living loot to the future, and help build up our common country from tne Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes to the Gulf. Tell them to remember that political theories. like sectarian (religious) theories, are frineioles only in the minds of the bigoted and foolish, and demagogues are only too apt to misapply these terms, to mislead them. Constitutions and laws are subject to changes, by legal means and by revolutions, and when changed are to be obeyed; and ii the lessons sad experience teaches are not heeded, then are people unfit for Beli-government, and the sad fate of republican Mexico will be our lot. The extent of the limits to States Rights, as argued by Thomas Jefferson and Alexander llamllton, and tbe rights to own slaves, were submitted to the arbitrament of the sword, and, In my pinion, they were decided both against us, and neither our honor, nor our Interest, require a further contest for them. I can remember, but too well, the years of ex citement and Injury to the country from the conflict on these theories In Kansao; and our late war, with its stricken fields, its bloody graves, the ruin and desolation which followed In its track, is as indelibly fixed in my memory as in any man's in the whole South; and while remembering the dread past, I must receive Its lessons, and not quarrel over dead theories, but look to the live issues ef the present and future: for (though I may be disfranchised), it is still my duty to help restore tranquillity, and build up the broken prosperity of the country, for the widows and orphans, my soldiers' and my chil dren's sakes, and on all practical questious affecting the material interests, such as banks, tariffs, taxes, suffrage, Interne! improvements, and revenues, I will be found as true to the fcouth as I was in her stormiest hours. All now agree that, by right of revolution, our Elates were out of the Federal Union, and our Government was a d facto Government; there fere if our conquerors think that safety or iustfee requires thai the conditions upon which these States may be readmitted into the Union hall be that our leaders In the field ana promt. ...4U.Tnn must be denied the rVht t vote r hoWoffiee. and aIo that political equality ut U utefiSed t- tbe .netfc-i though. w may know this to be grievously mistaken statesman ship, jet we must accept these terms or do Wore, for we cannot Btaj out or stop the march ot events, as the power Is still in the hands of our political enemies. A few years will demonstrate the wisdom or fallacv of their theories, and during this proba tion we should work to build up our broken fortunes, and prove ourselves worthy to be trusted; therefore, I advise yea not to mope over the past, but remember our "Lost Cause" only as tbe widowed husband remembers his bride wben he looks upon bis motherless chil dren, accept all political privileges that may be granted to you, and then, without bsin? ac tuated bv hatred or reventre (neither of which are soldl-rly sentiments), srlve manfully for tha true Interests of your State and country by working to develop her resources and increase her wealth. Should yon differ with others as to the best plans to accomplish these objects, still be friends and co-laborers in one common cause, which now should be, as It once was, tbe greatness and glory of the whole United States. This Is wbat I told you at our surrender at Jackson- fiort in June, 1865 this Is the substance of my otter to Mr. Prentice and I urge it upon you now; and If lor this I am to be anathematized, let tbe dogs bark nntil time shall prove that I have been ever and am always your friend, 11. Jeff. Thompson. WENDELL PUILLirS VIEWS. Wendell Phillips on the Proposed Con vention of Governors His Views on tho Kansas Campaign. From thi Anli Slaver Standard. We are glad to see that many journals are adviblng a' convention of loyal Governors, to give expression to the feeling and purposes of the nation at this perilous moment. President Johnson very properly told General Grant that he was accustomed to look to official sources for tbe will of the people. He was right. But since Congress has betrayed its trust and de serted Its post, we can have, strictly speaking, no official expression of the national will till November. Meanwhile, tbe danger is immi nent. We are without a Government. Our headquarters have been captured by the enemy, and the whole army (Congress) deliberately Clustered out. What shall we do? fit still and protest? Is there no other way? Is there no oacbincry within reach that can supply sub stantially, though not In form, tbe place of Con gress ? Yes, indeed 1 There are several ways In which the people may make their judgment and will unmistakably understood. In Kansas times, and at several critical moments in the Rebellion, ttie Government was either awed back or en couraged forward by mass meetings, political conventions, and other instrumentalities. The assembling of all the loyal Governors is oue of the best of these, and comes nearest to a Senato rial verdict. True, Johnson may be too crazy to heed any such protest; still there are some near him who, reading that handwriting on the wall, might pause beiore they join him in his treasonable plots. We would have such a convention not only give expression to public opinion, but would wish them also to remind all who join the traitor in bis plots that not only is he liable to be impeached, but they also ought to be both impeached and indicted for such lelony. We would have such a convention pledge Itself to leave no stone unturned to make all Johnson's tools feel the keenest edge of the law. We Bced to have these miscreants realize how unsafe it is to play with edged tools. They should be reminded that if the nation does sometimes confusedly pardon Lee and Davis, it hangs Wirz; so let the Blacks aud Blairs take warning. These men are not fools or drunk, whoever else may be so. It is but simple justice to them to presume that they see, as clearly as the coun try does, the inevitable result of tbe conduct they advUe. It must provoke Congress to tm npurh Johnson. As it is so uncertain whether. in three or four months, they can rally any political means of resisting impeachment, it is natural to presume mm, iu cso ui ueocoBiuy, they are prepared to attempt resistance to Congress in other ways. If they are not so ready, then the course they are following seems suchstaik madness that we must deem them daft to follow it. If, then, there is even the slightest chance of violent attempts at Washing ton, it becomes us to be prepared, to the fullest possible extent, for resistance. A conference ot the loyal Governors is a most suitable mea sure in this view. With Congress self-exiled, it seems the best possible method to prepare defense. Some seem to think It safe to wait till No vember, and watch events; we think the saga clous and intrepid Courier, of Hannibal, Mo., is wiser, when it abks: Baton tbe country afford to allow the President two months and a balf of longer timer Can It, tnast It submit to tbe Impending rulu 1 What can the mad President not accomplish In seventy-live daysr Willi a Cabinet composed ot his own adherenia.all enemies to tbe nation and it loyal Inhabitants; with a Trea tury fuli;of money. and a large "secret service land" bis disposal; with military officer, in command at tbe Souiu sympathizing with his vles; a general of Ibe army so hedged round with military etiquette, and timid In menial force, aa to refuge to assume the responsibility of enacting wbat may ultimately be Ibe lent rerort, revolution; with a large Southern population seething with rebellion, bordes of secret societies U.-e, only walttngtor tbe signal to spring to arms what can't Ibe President do in all this time? True, be cannot go very fur. Tbe first step towards anarchy led by bim would be the seal upon bis power, even though revolution were necessary. But he can do a vast amount of mlscbief, and tbe country knows It. Bometlilng mere tban mere watching la neces sary. Action Is demanded. There Is oue power left. That resides in tbe loyal Governors ot the loyal btates. Tbey have proved tueir pairiouom on other occasions. They have aa much right to assemble now as they hud In tteptewbar, 1801. during the dark est period ol the war, to pledae their beany support to President Lincoln. If It was necessary tor them to convene then to strengthen President Lincoln in carrying- on the war, it Is more necessary now tban ever to mret, to strengthen tbe people in the Conflict precipitated upon them by a traitor President. If 1862 demanded their combined action, with that of President Lincoln, acalnst tbe Rebellion, tbelr lutiu ence sbould now be united with tbe voice ot the people In bolnlng la cbck the rebel who has stolen Into tbe seal of government to cheat tbe country of its bard earned victories. Tben It Mr, Johnson desires to pre cipitate measures, be will be confronted by an organ ized power, and General Grant, instead or being tied band and foot, will find himself 'under orders' to a higher law, tbe law of tbe people expressed through thfir loyal Governors, acting to long as Congress re niHios out ol service. This seems to us tbe only practical remedy for onr tiuLinnal avlls. It lsalmosl dlscouravlnf to sea tbe presses of the country, the Influential ones, furiously discussing tbe situation, and describing It In all Ha details, but not proposing auy practical mea sures to control It. ... We repeat. Grant , by the peculiarity of his position. Is nothlog but a military "protest." The President Is bis master, and Grant caauut help himself. Now General Grant wants another muster. Give him the support ot the loyal Governors, and be will tben have Dacknone enougn to act, mm won mm iruM, it uis bean la in full sympathy with Congress. Is this revolutlont These are revolutionary times. Johnson means revolution. lie can accomplish bis designs only through revolution. Let hloi be met, then, by the only power which a law and order loving people can use until Congress meets tbe military force in the hands of tbe Governors of the loyal Utatea. Very Important do we deem this measure for the purpose of supporting whatever of good may be found in General Grant. We have as vet no confidence In him. But "while the lamp holds out to burn" the narrowest West Pointer may possibly turn into an honest man and a friend oi tne peoote. u anything can mage Grant over and give him a new heart, it is the wbolei-ome snubbing aud impertinence treason blatant and treason on the sly to which he Is subjected. We hope his physicians, Washburne ana Pcbenck, will do their best. Meanwhile we consider bis symptoms very unfavorable. He took the Secretaryship in a mean way. Brother Republican) as it is said he Is with Btanton, the first notice Btanton bad of his action was his note announcing tbat he had "accepted" the War Department. AH these stories set afloat by Grant's lackeys, that he "conferred with (Stanton -j" "that they understood each other; rmi taking t t&e was i&atter m- ranged between hlrn and Btanton" are pure lies. Stanton knew no more tban one of doc ot any intention of Grant until, in a formal manner, he received the General's offlrWl note. This was dislovalty to party, if Grant be really a Republican, and, more than that, it t plalng into the President's faaudi. It was siding with Johnson aeainst Htanton. and facili ttitlna Johnson's wish to get rid of the War Sec retary. This Is a very bad symptom. Another Is, he backs down on every point and conferjts himself with wordy protests, when justice to himself, his office, and the country demands that he should resign, rouse the na tion, BDd stand ready, with the army behind him and within reach, to protect Congress. Another fatal symptom is, Seward and Weed are praising him. Iiottn with political and every other corruption, disloyal in everything but the name, these men's eulogy is enough to wreck a firmer repute tban Grant ever ha I. If he is an honest man, a radical, and skilled In protests, let us hear him protest against Weed. We shall pin more faith on one snch protest than on a dozen empty grumbles against a Johnson order which he proceeds to execute. While these symptoms last we despair ot Grant, but never of the Kcpnb Ic. Wkwqbij. Phillips. T11E PRIZE RING. Shocking Fistic Kxhtbltlon In New Jersey A Fierce Encounter The Affair Broken TJp In a General Bfelee Awful I'unlibmcnt of One of the Principals by the Crowd. Another of those fistic encounters for which New Jersey has of late become famous took place yesterday morning, at. a secluded place a short distance from the quiet little villase of llackcnsack. The affair Itself was one ot the most shocking exhibitions of brutality that has hcen witnessed for some time nast. and ended in a general set-to among those present, who, I including principals ana seconds, numnerea about two hundred persons. The fight was be tween Jimmy Allen, of this city, and Patsey McCormlck, both light weigats. Twenty-three rounds were fought, when Allen showed the effects of severe punishment In coming up to tbe scratch in a faltering condi tion, whereupen, his friends seeing that ho would certainly lose tbe tight, the ery of "loul" was raised. At this juncture Allen's friends, who were most numerous, burst through the ring and drove McCormick'a party from the f round, and finished up by beating McCormlck u so shocking a manner that be had to be re moved in an insensible condition from t he scene. The entire party started irotn tbe citv on Tuesday evening, and remained at a hotel in the vicinity ot tbe battle-ground during the night. At daylight yesterday morning they left the hotel, and proceeded to where the ring was pitched. As soon as the latter was satisfac torily arranged both men made their appear ance, accompanied by their seconds. Shortly alter 6 o'clock time was called, and the con testants eagerly came forward and commenced. Round 1 They started olf in a very sprightly manner, when a blow from McCormlck. deliv ered scientifically on his antagonist's temple, sent him reeling on his back. Round 3 This round was of short duration and displayed little energy. Allen tried the drop game, and went down. Round 3 The superiority of McCormick's hitting was again apparent in this round, as he soon sent his opponent to grass through a for cible tap with the leit. Round 4 Allen was again knocked down by a heavy stunner received on the cranium. Round 6 Mere skirmishing. Allen, however, tumbled again. Round 6 Tbe fighting was very much forced throughout this round. Allen again recumbent. Bound 7 Allen received a heavy blow in the stomach, which resulted in a foul being raised, which was not, however, sustained. Round 8 Allen at length succeeded In admin istering a stunning blow on McCormick's right optic, and then dropped. Rounds 9 to 17 Tbe manoeuvring during these rounds varied little from the preceding ones Some hard knocks were taken and received. Iu nearly every instance Allen suffered most and was sent to mother earth several times. The last round of these named Allen showed leas activity, and was slow to fetch his maulers in a horizontal position. Another blow from llcCor mick felled his opponent, who dropped like a shot and fell in his corner in a state bordering on insensibility. Round 18 Though seemingly a great effort, Allen managed to respond to the call of time just as the reteree was going to decide against him. He was unable to stand a thundering touch on his ribs from McCormlck. Again the cry of foul was repeated, but not sustained. Round 19 to 22 The contest turoughout these rounds was of a very one-sided character, Allen, as usual, getting the worst. Round 23 and last The friends of both men kept urging them to force the fight, and for a while both did heavy execution. At length Allen began to falter and display considera ble weakness. lie was receiving such terrific punishment that his friends, in hopes of saving the honor of their champion, claimed foul again. Tbe referee refused to give it, whereupon the sick man's seconds dashed through the ring, and one of them struck McCormlck a violent blow in the face. Then ensued a general rough-and-tumble scrimmage, in the coujc of which, as a matter of course, McCormick's friends being ereatly in the mino rity, wete worsted and driven from the place, after which they beat McCormick in a shameful manner, and left him on the ground in an In sensible condition. The unfortunate pugilist was subsequently picked up by some persons who reside in the neighborhood and conveyed to the residence of a physician, whence he was removed to a hospital. N. Y. Herald.

The Prcaldent'a Proclamation Washington, Sept. 12 The Intelligencer, this morning, in an editorial upon the amnesty pro clamation, which foreshadows the course the President will take in regard to the suffrage for the excluded classes, says: "His proclamation, in eflect, puts all whom it embraces on an equal footing with other citizens of the United Btates; that is its legal effect, he believes, and if this is so, then the unconstitutional provisions, 'that no person shall be registered or vote by reason of Executive pardon or am. nesty,' is therefore modified. It only shows his opponents to admit virtually that not only that, but all other legislation of Congress setting at naught the constitutional powers of the Execu tive, were null and void from the beginning. Tbe proclamation may have the effect, and doubtless will, of bringing the question of the constitutionality of the main features of what are called the Reconstruction laws before the legal tribunals of the country. It places the great mass of the Southern people in an attitude to assert and main. tain their rights and privileges; and if, when finally passed upon by the Supreme Court, obstructions are still interposed by nnauthorized agencies, military, or otherwise revolutionary, it will again become the duty of the Executive to interfere, and carry Jnto effect, at every hazard, the mandate of the judicial authority; and this the country may rely upon will be done to the letter." by the associated press.

The sharp upward turn in gold, which has now reached 146, mainly tbe result ol political complications at the National Capital, has had the effect to unsettle com mercial values, and restrict legitimate trade outside of those departments, which are, for the most part, eiven over to speculators. The geneial run ot commodities, both foreign and domestic, are hold hieher, but the great mans of dealers and consumers do not respond with the alacrity that they doubtless would if they recognized the necessity for an advance. There was an upward tendency in Government loans, and the 5-20s advanced. The closing figures were 111(112; 109J110 for the 64s; 114114J for the 62s; 1U8J108 tor the policies; 89torthe 10-4()g; and 107i1074 forthe7'30s. State loans were unchanged. City loans were in better lequest, with sales of the new issues at 1005101, and tbe old at 90. There was rather more doing in railroad shares. Reading Kail road closed at 62 J; Penn sylvania Kuilroad sold at 634; Camden and Amboy at 12C; Catawissa preferred at 20 J: and Elmira prelerred at 41; 1244; was bid for Philadelphia and Trenton; 26 for Little Schuyl kill; 65 lor Gcrmantown; 674 for Uinebill; 664 for Lehigh Valley; 284 fot Philadelphia and Erie; and 42 for Northern Central. In Canal stocks the only sales were of Lehigh Navigation at 4TJ. In Bank shares there were no transactions worthy of notice. Passenger Railroad shares were dull. The only sales were of Spruce and Pine Street at 284. Quotations of Gold 10$ A. M., 146; 11 A. ii", 140 j: 12 M., 145; 1 P.

As October approaches this reserve must be trans ferred to tbe banks owning It, a process which may, and probably will, reduce the reserve In tbe city banks below the legal limit, and force them into a sharp contraction on their short loans." William P. Wright says of cotton: "It appears probable that with average weather the crop may be reasonably estimated at not less than 2.6OV.00O bales, on which ligure public opinion seems at present to be settling. Or late, tbe accounts bave not been as favorable as could bave been wished, still tbe chief Importance to be attached tj the reported fre quent rains Is tbat they retard the Held work, and throw the picking season Into the shorter days; to this, and tbe prevalence of yellow fever at tbe Gulf ports, Is attributed the cause of the receipt of new cotton being less, thus far, than was anticipated a while ago. Tha necessities of plan tern, the In creased fac titles for marketing and lue-prlces ruling, will douh''-r bave their Influence In hurrylua for ward 11 ..f.i supplies very soon." We extract the following from the Mobile Annual JVice Current: "Transactions In cotton during the past season show anything but favorable results, almost -votf shipment fortlgn sustaining a loss. We have always doubted tbe wisdom of planters shipping to fclurupe for a market, and the experience of Ihe psst two years aiutains us In this opinion. Cotton which will Eav there will also pay In tnU market, and can be eid at much less cost to planters. The growing crop lb s year is fully three weeks behind, .ndltis Impossible to form any correct estimate of what the yield will be, different Interests varying In tbelr 'guesses' at from twi to two and a half millions. From all tha lights before ns, we do not consider the) general crop uews very unfavorable, although In some sections tbe worm and drouth bave done some damage, but with a favorable picking season have reason to hope that tbe number of bales made win be corslderahly over that of last year. Estimates from Alabama range from 800,000 to 860,000, 360,000 being tbe favorite figure." The San Francisco Market Review of August 19 reports as follows: "We again record an easy money market The cola rennlrements for the Interior to 'move the crops' are very considerable. However, the movement pro duces little or no stringency, since the supply of capi tal continues abundant, and we may say Is accumula ting against a more active trade wbfeb must naturally follow. Tbe rates In bank rule at lj)l per cent, for flrst-ola'S names under an ordinary demand tor com mercial purpose , and on mortgage uniformly at 1 per cent, per month."
