THE PIIILIPPI ROUT.
Bptciil Dispatch to the N\ Y. Tribune.
VT4.3plsc.Tox, Friday, Jan* 7, 1961,
Our friend fcum Wheeling talked with an
eyewitness Of the Pbilippi rant. The Indiana
oolcmn came within sight of the Rebel en-1
eampment at sa. ns. No picket guard gave
alarm—none appeared to have been thrown
out. The Rebels were sleeping more soundly
il.aa usual, in consequence of the absorption, |
on the previous evening, of three or four bar- j
rels of whisky, seized on a neighboring farm. |
There first warning of the column's approach
■was irom a cannon ball, which carried away j
the tops of a line of tents. Officers and men, ■
half dressed, took to their heels and horses.—
Had not the assailants been exhausted by a
2-1 hours' march, in a heavy rain, their pursuit
would have been closer and more successful
than was possible under the circumstances. Iu
ths tents, and along the roads, on which the j
fugitives can, were found 1,400 pistols,upward i
of 500 stand of actus, a largs quantity of hats
caps, uniform trow sere, epaulets, and carpet
sacks, In one of which there were $3OO. The
roll, which was also found, showed that the,
whole number of the Rebels in eanp was I,- j
940. Ouly fifteen were killed.
The inhabitants of the town, who had been j
driven away by the traitors,soon flocked home
ward, telling of their persecutions. Young wo- 1
men and children bad been for two days in the j
woods. Farmers had been robbed of their'
produce, never receiving any pay. Two bun- j
drcd sheep were taken from one. A forced .
loan of $25,000 had been demanded of tbe 1
bank at Fairmount, and w.\6 to have been paid j
two hours after the payees fled. Men were t
frightened into the rebel service by assertion. - , I
that if caught by the Federal armies, their ;
heads would lie upon the block. For their de-1
livarers the people were ready to do every
thing. They refused to accept payment lor 1
milk and other produce, which they forced up-,
on jthem. Everywhere the patriot 6oidiers
were welcomed. Everywhere the patriot Vir
ginians were eager to join their ranks. The 1
strongest feeling sghiust Senator Mason pre-i
Tails.
CIXCIXXATI, Friday, Jane 7,1561. |
A special dispatch from Grafton to The 1
Commercial says that Col. Kelly is much bet
ter to-night, and i 3 much encouraged. His j
recovery ii probable.
Three companies of the 15th, three of the
16th Ohio, and three of the Clh Indian's I
Regiments, and two pieces of artillery, ad
vanced on riiilippi last night, making a force '
of 3,000 there. The rebels arj probably in
force at Beverly, to which point they fell back
from Pbilippi. Over 500' stand of arm', and;
fifty horses with wagons were taker, at Philip
pi-
It has just been reliably ascertained that 15
bodies were found in a thicket near Philippi 1
after the fight. The Rebels hid there and the
Indianians, without knowing the fact, aischrg
fd their MiQie rifles into the busbca to clenr
them.
EXPECTED ADVANCE OF THE FED
ERAL TROOPS IN VIRGINIA.
VTASHIXOTOS, Jane 7, iSCI. j
Six regiments of the infantry, two batterie? '
of artillery and one company of cavalry, of
General NcDoweils command in Virginia, are ■
under orders to be ready to move at n moments :
warning, at a certain signal either to repel at-;
tack or to advance forward.
Hundreds of people from tbe North have
been here sojourning during the last ten days,
in hourly expectation of the beginning of the
conflict k Virginia, but General Scott has evi- i
dcnlly been iji no hurry thus far to gratify their !
yearning for the excitement of a rencontre be- i
tweea the federal forces and the rebel#.
Besides tbe facts mentioned above, all the
regiments oa the other side of the river havs
been reinspected, and the sick and feeble re- |
moved. The transportation department has
beeu thoroughly organized, and traius of bag- 1
gage and commiffary wagons and ambulances !
are ready to move.
Those who are waiting here to see a fight
will probably not wait many days longer.— j
The Commande-in Chief means not only to j
move his forces upon the enemy at an early
date, but to decide the fortunes of the war by j
a short, effective, brilliant campaign, in Vir- j
ginia and other States, during the next four;
or five weeks. I can state on good authority
that he lias informed the President and mem
tiers of the Cabinet that he meant to have j
possession of both Richmond and Memphis oa i
of about the loth of July.
The preseut month will doubtless become
moDg the most eventful in his history. The
Opinion now prevails in military circles here
that no direct attack will be made on Harper's
Ferry, but that the largest portion of the army
now concentrated at and near Chambersburg
will advance through Maryland, cross in force
at Williamsport and take a position in their
rear of the rebel forces at the ferry.
The troops are in expectation of an attack
upoa their line by the Cou f ederates from
Mannasses Junction very shortly.
The works beyond Arlington House, near
Hoover's place, oppsite Georgetown, are being
rapidly and effectually strengthened by the
Uniled States force there. Thirty-six guns have
tiecn mounted 01 the embankment.
WHAT THE REBELS ARE DOING—
WHAT THEIR AIM IS.
AVASMIXTOX, Friday, June 8,1881.
A trip to the interior of the Old Dominion is
not unattended with somo peril. But it can
be made, aad safely too, as this letter will
show. The whole country, from Richmond to
Mannassas Junction, is one vait camp. All
the trains into Richmond arrive full of soldiers.
A moderate computation would place them as
large as 1,600 per day. They are well drilled
and well armed ; resolate and defiant. In all
Ihe depots facia R'cbmoud, troupe are to be
teen. They are at all the stations, am! all the
croM road?.
It in qniefr difficult to get an eitimate of
the men at the Junction. Great recrecy is
observed. An eye sharp and unsparing is
kept on all men who are looking about and are
not known ; and any inquiries are attended
with personal danger. The leaders kept their
own connsel, and the men kuew very little of
the propo. Ed movement,
BEAIREGCARD is AT the Junction and leads
the movements. Most of the troops work in
the night, aud it is done with silence. But all
things indicate concentrations and an immedi
ate Tid vigorous attack.
The troops are not without the elements of
religous enthusiasm. Most of the command
ers are ministers. One company is command
ed by a clergyman, who some months ago was
Moderator of the Presbytery that met in this
place—who preached while he was here, and
assisted at the communion. lie has under his
command 30 men who are members of bis
church. Nor is this a solitary case.
Men can be found in the tents reading the
Bible, and the voice of prayer and praise goes
up frequently.from the tents.
In one of flie cities through which all the
troops pass, oa their way to Richmond, a daily
Union prayer meeting is held It i? conduc
ted not unlike the Fulton street daily meeting.
The conversion of souls is the theme of
prayer. Men pray to be guided in the right
way, if they are wrong in the present contest.
Requests are made for prayer—and the con
version of the impenitent announced.
The Old School Presbyterian Church could
as well have taken open and decided Union
ground as the time policy adopted. The South
will meet with the body no more. So the
men say. The Church South will follow the
State, and the men south of Mason's line re
gard the thing as done.
AH things indicate an immediate movement.
Delay will ruin the South. They w.U not
wait to be attacked, but will hasten on the
eonflict They believe it will be short, but de
cisive. Our Government must be prepared
for a sudden and terrible blow. It will come
as the whirlwind. It will heat as the tem
pest. But our troops are ready.
IMPORTANT FROM KENTUCKY -
DECISIVE CONDUCT OF GENERAL
PRENTISS.
CAIRO, 111, June C, 1801.
General Prentiss, having learned that some
Kentucky Secessionists had established a camp
at Elliott's Mills, Ky., ten m:les from this
place, sent two companies to that place.—
When they arrived the enemy had fled.
Colonel Wickliffe, who represents Kentucky
in a semiofficial character, visited Geueral
Prentiss to day for the purpose of protesting
against the invasion of Kentucky soil.
General Prentiss showed several letters
from J-he Western part of the State, asking
protection from ruffianism, and declared it his
intention to send troops in whatever direction
and npon .such soil as his government order
ed.
Israel Blane.hard, another secession sympa
thizer, living at Carboudalc, has been arrest
ed und sent to Springfield for tial for treasoo.
THE WHEELING CONVENTION.
WASHINGTON, Friday, JOAE 7, 1861.
We learn from a prominent politician, who
has just arrived from Wheeling, what will be
tliO probable course of the Convention which
meets on the 1 lib inst. All the leading men
have agreed not to attempt to make a new
State out of Western Virginia, but to
act for the Old Dominion, as a whole, setting
up a provisional Government in place of that
which has, by rebellion, abdicated its power.
Tife first act of the Convention will be to de
pose Gov. Letcher and his rebellious asso
ciates. It will then nppoiut good and true
men in their places. The provisional Govern
ment will probably be Gen. Jackson of Park
ergburg The convention will then declare
Eastcru Virginia in a state of insurrection
against the General Government, from which
a d to put down the rebellion will be. invoked.
The Legislature chosen for the 23d n't., the
members of whicn are, by its request, to toeet
with the Convention, will be pronounced tna
legally elected Legislature of the Slate, and
will be empowered to proceed at once to the
transaction of business. The Governor will
send in his message to the two Houses, and
two Senators, of whom John S. Carlile will
probably be one, and a leading Republican
the other, will be chosen.
In this plan of operation Messrs Carlile,
Wil.ley, Pierpont, Jackson unite. Oar infor
tnsiit thinks that the Convention will be one of
the grandest popular assemblages ever called
together. Tne leaders are few. Behind them
the people, numerous and united. In this move
ment lies the hope aud salvation of the Old
Dominion. Through its action, in cc>peration
with that of the Federal Government,she will
be transformed from a wholesale negro trade
into a great commonwealth. The sentiment
of Western Virginia is represented to be all
one way. In 30 canities out cf 24,000 free
votes, all but 2,000 were for the Union. No
traitors are allowed to plot treason now.—
The polls are examined, and everv voter for
Secession is led, without violence, with the
utmost kindness, to the Court House, where
he required to take the oath of allegiance to
the United States. There are very few who
have uot takeu it by this time.
BII.TI.UOBK, Friday, June 7,1861.
The Williamsport correspondent of the
Anttrican, who has shown himself to be a most
careful and faithful man, writes this morning
that "a number of Virginia companies at
Harper's Ftrry have been disbanded,and most
of the soldiers that went from Berkeley, have
returned home. A deserter, who this momeut
arrived here, assures me that desertions have
reduced some companies to about half the
original number.
"Two boys of this place (Williamsport),
about 17 years of age, were induced this morn
ing to cross the river by two men, representing
themselves as Uunionists desiring to escape.
The moment they crossed, the boat was seized
by hidden soldiers, and broken to pieces, and
the boys carried off to the camp."
A Baltimore deserter at Harper's Ferry,
arrived here, lepresents a deplorable state of
affairs there, lie says there is no discipline;
the men are only half armed, and the food is
obtained by scramble, fight, or foraging.
Half of the force is watching the opportuni-
I ty to desert, and he ridicules the idea of their
1 being in a condition to repel the force ap
proaching from Chambersburg. lie thinks
that Secession is played out iu that part of
Virginia and that place will be evacuated.
PaKOEKicK, Ud., Eritlay, June 7,1861.
An intelligent gentleman just from Har
per's Ferry reports that Jeff Dnie was ex
pected there to-morrow. There was a com
plete state of preparation for an attack, which
is eagerly expected.
Ue represents tho indications not at all fa
voring the rumored evacuation. New troops
are constantly arriving. 1,600 reached there
last night from the interior of Virginia. Pro
visions were abundant, and the men were
cheerful. The strictest discipline is maintain
ed. Our informant was not allowed to speak
to the soldiers except in the presence of the
officers.
Six or eight deserters from Chsmbersburg
reached there to-day and several yesterday.
lie represents that there are 17,000 troops
there.

Louis Napoleon Hostile to Jeff. Davis.
PSKIS, Friday, May 17, 18G1.
On Sunday last the Emperor repeated to
Mr. Faulkner (on the occasion of the latter's
formal parting interview) the language which
I have already given you several times, as that
which his Majesty habitually utters, on the
question of the contest between the North and
South. He assured Mr. Faulkner that he was
watching the progress of events with the great
est solicitude ; that he should he deeply pain
ed to see a disruption of the Union; that he
felt as much interest in the progress and pros
perity of the American people almost as if they
were a part of his own people, and terminated
by making an offer of his services in any way
they might be made useful to bring about a re
union and an avoidance of bloodshed. M. Thou
venel,Minister of Foreign Affairs,went further,
and assured Mr. Sanford that not only did he
approve of the course of Mr Lincoln's Admi n
ignition, but that he would be glad if he could
be in some way useful in aiding to put bown the
rebellion. So, too, the Prince Murat, a mem
ber of the Imprial family, begged to know of
Mr. Sanford if thero was nit some way in
which the French Government might aid in
putting down the rebellion.
Ccriocs Phkkomkvon.—A curious circum
stance occnrred at the Hospital a day or two
since. A patient there, who had become
somewhat convalescent, crossed his room to
the bed side af a fellow patient, and kindly
cared for his wants, nursing him tenderly, and
furnishing him with many little delicacies not
afforded by the army regulations. Soon the
convalescent natient had so far recovered as
to be able to go to his Barracks—No. 5,
Union Regiment. Ilis name, WALTER O.
SANDFORD, was calied in the presence of the
invalid, who was then apprarently too low to
uotice anything. On returning to complete
consciousness, lie asked if that name had been
called, or had he been dreaming ? Mr. COUL
TON* examined the books, and found that such
was the name of the discharged patient, when
to his surprise, he iearned that the twain were
brothers—that they had met for the first time
in six years —that they had not recognized
each other in all the time they had been fel
low unfortunates in the same Hospital, both
suffering from an attack of the measles, and
that WALTER had been for several days un
consciously contributing to the comfort of his
brother ZKNAS, whom he had left a mere prat
tling lad by their mother's side years since.—
The elder had enlisted at Rochester, and the
other at Utica. Was this more coinc dence ?
Or was it the workings of one of the hidden
laws of mind over mind? Enlighten, us ye
learned psychologieiags.— Elnira Press.
COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED—IMPLEMENTS OF
TRADE SECURED. —On Sunday last an impor
tant arrest was made in tliis County, of Coun
terfeiters. The Gate Hill House, Arthur
O'Connor, lies for some time been suspected, j
There were two young men arrested in J3ing- !
hamton lust week for passing counterfeit half
and quarter doiiars, and from them some idea
was got of the source from which they got the
coin. United States Deputy Marshal B. W.I
Morse, of Binghamton, carac down with his
assistant, Thomas Young, on Saturday night
last, and having secured tiie assistance of offi
cers Farnham and Dofy, of Owego, moade a
descent on the Gate Ilil! Hotel, about 5 'clock i
on Sunday morning. They found Mr. O'Con
nor at home, and arrested him and searched]
him on the premises. On him officer Farnhani
found iwo bogus half doiiars which he tried
to secrete. On searching the house a Ga!run
ic Batterr, Acids, and other Chemicals used
in plating com were found in a trunk.—
On further search ;n the bar they lound secre- j
ted in the ceiling a Machine called an Edger'f
for Milling the coin; also, R live dollar coun-j
terfeit biil, and an important letter and other
materials, such as playing cord?,copper filitngs, j
charcoal, plaster of I'aris, and .many other
things employed by counterfeiters. Mr. ]
0 Conner was brought to Owego and deposited
iu jail, and on Sunday night taken to li:ug
hamton, where he now lies for examination. I
Bogus halves have of late been very com
mon. We lately saw two of them in the hands 1
of a prominent Lawyer of this village which
he had carelessly taken in his business transac ]
tions. The style of manufacture is good, and
as they are plated with the genuine metal, it is
difficult at first to detect them, but alter being ,
n<ed for some time, they 6how the base metal
They are always lighter than the genuine, and
may be known easiest by a comparison of their
weight with pure coin. We hope this gang
will be so thoroughly broken up that this bnsi- j
ness will be abandoned in this county. The
bogus coin in circulation is enormous, and it
becomes every person receiving silver to exam- j
ine it closely. They are not all made from
one die,but are cast in plaster of Paris moulds
and from each mould only one is made, which
j of course, bears the date of the genuine coin
used. The bogus coins are of the same size,
and well milled, nnd the impression as cleur
and as well defined as the good mouey.— Oicego

C&" A prominent officer of the United
States Government is in Cincinnati to nego
tiate for the building of a number of gnu
boats, of two sizes, to be used on the lower
Mississippi, as far down as the Gulf. These
boats are to be of peculiar and durable build,
and are to be genuine war vesseles, having
accommodation for troops, magazines for all

a lean looking hound in a palmetto tile, called
"Jeff," looks longingly at the viand, and

THE NEWS.
Dospatches froai Washington on Saturday
indicate a speedy and decisive movement
against the enemies of the government. It ap
pears that General Scott has informed the
President and Cabinet that he has resolved to
have possession of both Richmond and Mem
phis before the 15th of July. Active prepara
tions for an instant advance are going on
among the regiments on the Potomac. It is
said that no direct attack o* Harper's Ferry
is contemplated, but that the troops from
Pennsylvania and Ohio are to surrouud that
point by movements in the rear, byway of
Williamsjrort. The advance of our troops to
Grafton and Philippi would seem to carry oat
this idea. Meantime no symptoms of an evacu
ation of Harper's Ferry by the rebels aro ob
served as predicted a few duyg ago. Jefferson
Davis was expected to arrive there on Satur
day last, for the purpose of inspecting the
troops there.
Letters been have just received from Major
General John C. Fremont, dated in London,
stating that he has purchased 10,000 Enfield
rifles and several batteries of rifled cannon, for
the United States Government, which he is
wailing for and will bring with him. At present
he is delayed uutil a portion of the rifles are
finished. lie states further, that the Com
missioners of the Confederate States had in
structions to procure several steamers in Eng
laud for the service of the Montgomery gov
ernment, but that there was some difficulty
about getting the money - T in fact, the need
ful had not arrived from the South. They sue-
ceeded, however, in purchasing two steamers,
for which they paid £70,000 ($350,000). —
These vessels, it appears, are to sail for a
Southern port, under the British flag, and reg
istered as the property of British owners, car
rying nothing contraband of war, but probab
ly in ballast merely. How they will be served
by our blockading squadron remains to be
seen. We hope they will find it somewhat dif
ficult to euter any port at the South.
The developments that are likely to follow
the seizure of the dispatches filed in the tele
graph offices will astound the country. They
will show a system of tereachry extending
through all grades of official business and soci
al circles. Almost everybody appears to have
been engaged in giving aid and comfort to the
rebels, and to have furnished means and infor
raation for securing a triumph of the rebellion.
Members of Congress from Free States figure
frequently among these flashes of intelligence.
Reporters for Northern Free-Soil papers hand
ed in to the telegraph office the knowledge
they had obtained through their F'ree-Soil
professions. Even the members cf the Peace
Congress, and some from Free States, held
out words of encouragement to the rebel lead
ers, that if they would keep up the tire they
would break the Free-Saiiers down. Several
of the members of that Convention from the
Border States gave regular reports of its pro
ceedings to the rebels, while at the same time
they were insisting that tiie proceedings should
be kept from the Northern Press and public.
Col. KKl.LET, wounded at the brilliant affair
at Phillippa, we are glad to state is reported
much better, and there is now a strong prob
ability of his recovery. The position at Phillip
pa is being rapidly strengthened by the Fed
eral troop*, some three thousand having b.en
concentrated there since the rout of the rebels
who are now supposed to be in force at Bever
ly, the Capital of Randolph County, about
twenty-fonr miles southeast of Phillippa. It
has been reliably nsscertair.ed' that the loss of
life on the part of the rebels was considerably
greater than at first supposed—some fifteen
of their dead bodies having been found in a
thicket.
The obsequies attending the removal of
Judge L)OLT,I.A' remains from Chicago, where
he died, to Washington, took place on Friday
last, and were attended with every demonstra
tion of respect, net only in Chicago, but in
several other places. Iu Chicago business was
generally suspended, and the streets on the
line of the procession were densely packed with
sorrowing citizens. The progress of the pro
cession was marked by the tolling of bells and
the firing of minute guns.
The movements of troops, already frequent
ly referred to and explaiucd, is going on.—
Monday three battallions of District Volun
teers pns*ed throngn Georgetown, and two
: Connecticut, one New-Hampshire, and the 9th
I New-York Regiment, broke up their camps,
and started from Washington, proposing to
join the District Volunteers three miles from
Georgetown, going thence'to Edward's Ferry,
on the Potomac, a point half way between
Washington and Harper's Ferry. It is
thought that several regiments on the Virgin
jia side, and an Ohio regiment, were immedi
ately to march in the same direction. The
Rhode Island Regiment had followed their
battery to the Relay House, but whether they
1 were to move from that place toward Harper's
Ferry remained in doubt. By request of Gov.
Ilieks and otjhers, a hrigade was to be sent
to Fredrick City, a stronghold of disloyalty,
with the design of keeping the traitors in
j order.
A gentleman, who is said to have gained his
information directly from Gen. Scott, declares
that no important movement will be made from
Alexandria toward the enemy till tha for
tifkations on that side of the river bare been
completed and made as far u possible, impre
gnable.
A dispatch from Cincinnati says that the
11 lb Indiana Zbnaves have taken Cumberland,
Md , thence raeouing to go to join Gen. Pat
terson. Cumberland is 101 miles from Graf
ton and 97 miles from Harper's Ferry.
Trustworthy intelligence, tit a late hour,
from Harper's Ferry, states that the rtbelsare
retreating. Many wagons have been Beized
from farmers ia the vicinity of Winchester,
and are engaged in transporting the troops to
Strasborg, whence tbey will go by rail to Ma
nassas Junction, it is now doubtful if our
columns combine in season to make the large
capture they expected, it therefore seems
that the Rebels have given up all hope of aid
from Maryland, end that they are to rely on
making a stand at the Junction. That point
is strongly fortified. The cannon are in a
semi circle about the railroad station.
A man who says he has accurate informa
tion as to the plans of the Rebels states that
they have an idea of attacking Washington
while it is partially bereft of troops, and that
a movement to this end will take placo by
Thursday.
We learn from Ilagersfown that the rebel
Virginians have been busy for several days in
destroying, and attempting to destroy, canal
boats, locks, bridges, and dams. They are
also obstructing the river in every way they
can invent.
In ORTANT PAPERS SAID TO HAVE BEEN
SEIZED. —The Washington Star of the 30lh
ult, says: "We hear that among the effects of
the Alexandria Srntmel office, new iu the cus
tody (but wholly uninjured) of the troops of
the United States, are certain letters of great
importance, as showing the means by which
the revolution of Virginia was accomplished ;
implicating the writer and others in treason
and conspiracy against the United States, to
such an extent as that if they full into the
bands ef the Government, the law to its ex
treme ex'ent can hardly tail to be brought to
bear upon their cases. The letters are believed
to prove, beyond the possibility of denial, that
the adoption of tbe ordinance of s>eceision by
the Virginia Convention was the result of
fraud, usurpation, and terrorism an surpassed
iu the history of civilized government—of na
ked and palpable revolution, to the end of
entirely sweeping away at a blow the liberties
of the State, in order to place in the hands ot
the conspirators and their instrument, for
life, the entire machinery ol the government
of Virginia."
THE STATE LOAN. —The Slate of Pencayl- I
vania wauls to borrow Three Million of dol- !
!urs to arm the Stale for ilg # defense. Propo- j
sals for said loan are advertised. It offers a j
sure and safe divestment,- from which will 1
always be realized sis per cent, interest, r
it is free from any taxation whatever, and pro
visions have been made by the Legislature not
onlj for the inirrst, but also for a sinking fnnJ ;
for the principal—and it can be had, also, in i
amount from one hundred dollars up to.a
thousand, thus giving the opportunity to all \
our citizens, whether of large or moderate
means, of sustaining the credit and assisting
our State in Ler vigorous offorts in behalf of I
our common country. Those who desire details j
on the subject of the loan ore referred to Drex.
el & Co., of Philadelphia, who are authorized j
to procure bids for the 6auc.
LEGISLATIVE GUARD ACCEPTED. —It will be
recollected that at the close of the late session
of the Legislature a number of the members ■
formed themselves into a " Legislative Guard," j
electing the Speaker of the House captain, and
tendered their services to the Governor. The
tender of these patriotic gentlemen has been j
accepted, and orders issued for them to mus
ter at Camp Curtin on or before the 15th of
this month. An opportunity is now offered :
them to do the State some service, and win
laurels in the defence of "the flag of our Un- j
ion." Of course the members of the L p gisla- j
tive Guard will all be on band at the time
specified, agreeably to orders from the Com
mander-in-chief. Capt. DAVIS is now at Har
risburg, awaiting the arrival of bis company. J
CASSICS M. CLAY, American Miuister
to Russia, has written a letter to the London
Timet on the American struggle, in brief but
decisive terms. He says that the rcvoltid
Slates can be subdued, but it is not proposed to
subjugate them, but simply to put down rebel
liouists. England's true interest is to stand by
the Union. He inquires if England can af
ford to offend the United States, and is Eng
land so secure against home revolution and
foreign ambition, as to venture to sow the seed
of revenge? lie concludes by asserting that
England is the natural oily of the United
States.
The Wur is having some effect on the
flour and grain market. Tho demand for
flour has much increased of late for army sup
plies, and prices are much firmer. The ship
j ping demands is considerable, though prices
are falling off in the European markets while
rising here. The Western graneries are be
ginning to pour upon the East and on Eu
