"CAPTAIN' ions Snows.—My dear Friend : wrote you a wook ago, directing my letter to the care of Mr. Kearney. "He replied. informing Inn that he had for warded it to Washington. But as Mr. Morton rewired lest evening a letter from Mr. Sanborn, saybog your address would bo your son's home, viz. West Andover, I therefor° write you without delay, and direot my letter to jour sou. I have dons what I could thus far for looms, and what I could to keep you at your Kansas work. 'Looses by endorsement and otherwise have brought me under heavy embarrassments the last two years. "But I must nevertheless continuo to do, in or , der to keep you at your Kansas work. I send you 'herewith my draft for two hundred dollars. Let me hear from you= the receipt of this letter. "Ton.live in our hearts, and our prayer to God Is that you may have strength to eolith:mu in your Kansan work. "My wife joins me in affectionate regard to you, dear John, whom wo both hold in very high es teem. "I suppose you put the Wnitman note into Mr. Xearney's hands. It will be a great shame if Mr. Whitman does not pay It. What a noble man is Mr. Kearney. Row lib erally ha has contributed to keep you in your Kan sae work. Your friend, °Minix Sum." The mails by the steamers North Briton reached this city last night, bringing ns London papers to the sth instant. lier news we have already given, by telegraph. In regard to tho San Juan affair, the London - News of October 3d says: "The Government of the United States shows how much importance it attaches to the firm and prudent management of the difficulties which ono of its of curs has rain(' at Sault:an, by sending the Let soldier of the Repnblio to the spot. General Scott, who has before this superseded the impetus one Barney, is a man whose reputation stands in no need of theatrical coups. Ile is no sentimental trifler, but has been trained; in the school of war fare and in the responsibilities of high command, to respect the great interests of eivilizition, and look to the consequences of public acts. Thio appointment of thop dietinguiened officer Must be flattering . the' people of Oregon, who may fairly indulge the reflection that nothing abort of the folly of their leaders could have induced the 'veteran to undertake in haste the long journey to the P mine—, At the same time the General's inis don Is a token 9f the right feeling of the Wash ington Cabinet towards this country. After his arrival we shall hoar no more of the ostentation of throwing up earthworks,, and planting useless cannon, end calling for volunteers. Pending his arrival, General liarney.has received orders to be mole circumspect in his - conduct, and the instruc tions of the President to General Scott are, it is said, of the most conciliatory character." A large and enthusiastic Democratic meeting was- held at Trenton, New Jersey, on Wednesday evening. It was addressed by Joel Parker, General 31: R. Y. Wright, candidate for Governor, lameti IL Semi, of Camden, and Colonel James W.:Wall. Mayor Emery bas signed the bill reorganizing the Detectiire Department of police business, and made the following appointments : Ohief—Capt. Jacob Bennett. Subordinates— Mirkle, G. 11. Smith, Wood, Sommers, Levy, Franklin, Bartho lomew, and Sohlemet. High Constables Russell and Bookleyr will not in conjunction with this do partmerit: 13464 Odenhfiimer, of New Jersey, has written ,the- following pastoral letter to the clergy and laity of his diocese. It Is the drat official act since hle . oonsissration to the Episcopate : "RICHMOND Va.., Oct. 13, 1859.

"May the blessing of God Almighty—the Bather this Son, and the holy Ghost—be with you all. Amen. Affeetionately. your Bishop, " W. H. Onaniaittlin." In New York, yesterday morning, a police officer was attracted to a house by the piteous cries of whilidren. On entering, ho discovered the dead body of a woman, with her three helpless offspring weeping around the body because they 'could not awaken her. She died from intemperance! Her husband Is now iu the penitentiary, as an habitual drunkard. Notwithstanding the unfavorable terminations to several of the balloon ascensions recently made, we learn that Mr. Lowe (who ball just oonstruoted an immense affair which ho calls an -air ship) has a great number of applications for passage, from gentlemen anxious to accompany him on his first voyage. Be designs to take short trips, and the necommodationa for paisengers are said to be very complete. - The Atlantic Monthly. It is said that those enterprising publishers, Trim/cos & FIELDS, of Boston, have paid ten thousand dollars to the assignees of Pamirs, SAMPSOIt, & Co., for the copyright and back Stock of the .atlantic Monthly. It was offered to , an extensive and' enterprising house in this city, (Cuans & PEransoN,) and by them de clined.

Abe Administration vs. The Demo• 'A•good many honest people attached tolhe Democratic party indulged the delightffildrearu, that after the October election the officials, and the self-constituted managers of the Adminis tration in this quarter, would take especial ' 'pains to conciliate the opinion they had out raged, and to prepare for harmonious and vic torious action; - We ; ourselves indicated a hearty diapdsition'to co-opin•ato with any dis interested movement of this character. Not, indeed, that we supposed the President and bis immediate advisers wonicl themselves en courage a restoration of peace to the discord ant and' divided councils of the Democratic party ; but that the instinct of self-preserva tion would induce the men who have allowed themselves to be used by the General Admin istration in this quarter, to yield to the expec tation of the masses, and if not openly to unite in measures for the restoration of peace to the party, at least to retire from the leadership they have usurped, and to allow patriotic men to come forward and guide our organization to success in 1860. But all these hopes and wishes have been dispelled. The intrepid men who have sym pathized with THE Films in its steady stand for the ascertained principles of the Demo cratic party 7 as illustrated by Judge DOUGLAS, and explained by Mr. BeauAmax and Mr. BRECEINRIDGE themselves, before and after their nomination—have not only been assured by the oracles and organs of the General Admin istration that they aro henceforth to be exclu ded from the Democratic party, and to be re garded as , 4 rebels,” deserving only of execu tion; but now a systematic warfare has been commenced upon another class of Democrats, nearly all of whom cordially supported the President in his most calamitous Kan. sas policy, or ardently sustained the Ad ministration State ticket at the last election. This class of Democrats includes hundreds and thousands of the purest and ablest nren in the party, and may be said to compose a large majority of the voters who sus tained that ticket at the last election. Among these Democrats we may be permitted to men tion such names as Hon. CHARLES BROWN, JAMES F. JOHNSON, GEORGE WILLIAMS, ED._ WARD WARYMAN, ALFRED DAY, FRANCIS WC/WADI:7H, WILLIAM LOUGHLIN, LEWIS C. CASSIDY, WILLIAM V. MCGRATH, GEORGE R. BERRILL, RICHARD VAUX, JOHN MCCAR THY, and a host of others; known, not only in this city, but throughout the State, for their consistent and constant support of the Demo cratic organization. We are not disposed to take any credit to ourselves for having anticipated the measure which was to be meted out by Mr. BUCHANAN and his adherents to all those who did not yield to the Administration in everything--not merely in the matter of Kansas, but in its subsequent proscriptions of public men, and in its still later dictation of nominations in the city and State, and its offensive intermcddling in the alteration and erection of repulsive platforms upon which they were forced to stand and fall. But we cannot refrain recalling to their attention the repeated declaration in this journal, that the time would come when all that we have as serted in reference to the determination of the General Administration to break up the Demo cratic party unless its destinies were unre servedly committed to its keeping, and to show ut; quarter to those who might presume to take any course outside of that marked out by its officials in this city—the time would come when this prediction would be abundantly realized. And that time has come. It is here now. And those who have deplored, and in some instances denounced, the course of TnE PaEss,*may, in their own persons, realize, at this day, how little they have made by palter ing or faltering in reference to the duty which they aro now, we are happy to say, constrained to perform. They adhered to the Administration when it was pursuing, with inhuman ferocity, the men who refused to yield Democratic prin ciples, and we do not complain of the course they took in The premises. No know most of them to be honest and upright men. But now they aro traduced themselves, simply and only because, intim exercise of their duty as Demo crats inside of the organization, they meet together to consult as to the best method of elevating the Democratic party from the de plorable depth into width it has fallen, and to make such preparations as will bring the divided masses of that party together in har monious array. Looking to the future, they behold the vast interests involved in the elections next year: first, the important considerations involved in the choice of a Democratic mayor and Councils in this great city—a city always Democratic when the party is united; second, the Governor and Legislature of the State, in October of the same year, upon the complex ion of which latter depends the election of a United States Senator for six years; third, the entire delegation in Congress; and, fourth, and more important than either, the triumph of the Democratic party in the Presidential campaigiPof November of that year. These are interests of commanding magnitude, emi nently deserving of the attention of the best members of the Democratic party, and singularly calculated to call forth the patriotic exertions of every man who entertains a sincere regard for the wel fare of the country. And yet, only because the gentlemen referred to assemble for the purpose of taking steps to secure all these im portant interests to the Democratic party, they have been assailed by name, and traduced with as much virulence as those who 'are co operating with TUE PnEss in its persistent warfare upon the treacheries and follies of the General Administration. If this last exhibi tion does not teach the active men of the Democratic party in this city, and throughout the State, how little they have to expect from the tender mercies of the General Administra tion and its agents, we shall be greatly mis taken. • In singular contrast with the blind and fatal courses of those who have managed to take possession of the organization of the Demo cratic party in this city—entirely through ofil dal influence—the manner in which the gen tlemen who held positions under President Ponce conducted themselves in reference to the struggle for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency in 186646, may, at this time, be happily referred to. General PIERCE was an avowed candidate for renomination. The gentle Men holding position under him in this city were nearly all his devoted personal friends, and we may say of him that no Exe cutive since the days of General hcasox was more successful in gathering around himself and his Administration the warm and sincere attachment of all who were connected with him. Mr. BUCHANAN, a citizen of Pennsylva nia, absent from the country at the time the canvass for the delegates to Cincinnati took place In this city, was also a candidate for the Democratic nomination. He had numerous friends in Philadelphia, who were most anxious to secure for him a united delegation from Pennsylvania to the National Democratic Convention.. The entire power of the Federal Government, in all its departments in this city, was in the hands of the friends of General Pinion—as It is to-day in the hands of the de pendents of Mr. BUCHANAN—and yet, during all the contest for delegates, no voice was raised in objection to the course of the office holders under General PiERGE, and no effort was made by those gentlemen to proscribe any man for indulging a preference for JAmEs Be cLtNAR. On the contrary, among the subor dinates under Hon. CIIARLEB BROWN, (then collector of this port,) as well as those under Jona MILLER, Esq., (then postmaster of Phila delphia,) and Col. J. IL SNOWDEN, (then, as now, director of the United States Mint,) were a number who were openly engaged in the different wards, canvassing for BCCIIANAH delegates. It is stated, as a signal instance of the magnanimity of FRANKLIN PIERCE, that when some of his enthusiastic friends in the lower wards of the city, who were desirous of car rying delegates favorable to him, suggested that several hundred additional laborers should be employed in the navy yard, ho refused his consent, stating that while ho was willing to employ as many thousands if the public service required them, ho could not agree to the appointment of a single additional Man for mere party purposes. When the county Convention met, which elected the delegates to Harrisburg, several persons hold ing office under the General Administration were chosen, and went to the State Conven tion the active and earnest friends of JANES BUCHANAN. Among this list we remember the names of FRANCIS MCPORNOK—since re moved by tho present collector, for his sup. posed DQVGLAS sympathies—Tin:was JOHN CRAWFORD, and others. The result was a harmonious Convention at Harrisburg, a satisfactory platform, the election to Cincinnati of a united delegation, the nomination of Mr. BUCHANAN upon the distinct Popular Sovereignty ground, and the perfect union of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania. In this connection it becomes us to say, that in the campaign of 1856, among tho most efficient, vigilant, and self-sacrificing and generous advocates of Mr. BUCIIANAN, Were CHARLES BROWN, collector; JonN MIL LER, postmaster; R. C. HALE, surveyor; ALFRED, DAY, navy agent; and HENRY C. LOUGHLIN, P. BARRY HAYES, GIDEON WEST cart, and GEORGE R. BERRILL, United States appraisers; and many others, who (without caring to inquire whether they would be re tained in office, many of them declining reap pointments) labored only for the success of the Democratic party and its candidates. These gentlemen, in concert with Hon. Mennen VAUX—thon mayor of the city—devoted themselves assiduously to the good cause, and in several instances displayed a generosity and disinterestedness wo have rarely seen equalled, contributing the most potential element to the success which crowned the exertions of the united Democracy in that year. It is no less significant that most of the names we have mentioned were placed on the black list by Mr. BUCHANAN immediately after his election, and that, while they have all sustained his gene ral Kansas policy, they are to-day, with scarce ly an exception, marked out for denunciation by his creatures, because they dare to assert the right of acting for themselves in the prima ' ry elections. Now for the reverse of the medal. Sir. Be- CIIANAN is not a candidate for co-election—or says ho is not. The Democrats of Philadel phia preferred him in 1866, in the vain idea that he would be a peace-offering to the coun try. The office-holders of General PIERCE, respecting the popular will, assisted to gratify it. Now, when Mr. BUCHANAN is not in the field, the Democratic masses of Philadelphia look to some other name as a pence-onring for 1860. One class (and by far the largest) prefer STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, another FRANK LIN PIERCE, another Mr. BRECKINR/DOE, and another Mr. GUTHRIE. And yet what do we witness? The most indiscriminate assaults upon all who do not yield to the dictates of the office-holders of the Administration; who, while professing to have no candidate of their own, insist upon electing delegates to the State Convention to be controlled by themselves ! As we said in the beginning of this article, the crusade against the State-Rights Democrats, the "rebels"—a terns of reproach, which they gladly accept as one of honor—had, at least, the plausible justifica tion of being a war upon men who ask no terms from a degenerate Administration; but the attack upon Democrats who have been willing to sanction, or rather to tolerate, the General Government in its treacheries, for the sake of the organization of the party, posses ses, if possible, a wider significance, and teaches the lesson that we have fallen upon times when the servants of the people assume to be their masters, and when men in office—a contemptible minority at the beet— attempt to claim the right to domineer over the disinterested majority. There is in this spectacle a philosophy which is entitled to some further comments. Meanwhile, we sub mit to the judgment of the Democratic party of Philadelphia, whether the " rebellion " of THE PRESS, beginning, as it did, when the Administration was flushed and' filled with power, has not been strikingly vindicated by a most salutary sequel? The Meeting at Bridesburg. By the proceedings of the meeting at Bride. burg, held on last Wednesday evening, which we publish this morning, it will be seen that the Democratic citizens of the Twenty-third ward aro making a resolute effort to rid them selves of the. despotism of official dictation, and to direct the energies of the organization of the Democratic party into their true and appropriate channel of protecting and enforc ing genuine Democratic principles. We trust this movement will be followed up in other sections of the city. There is no doubt that an immense majority of the Democratic citi zens of Philadelphia are bitterly opposed to the policy of the Administration, and that they are animated by a strong desire to protect the Democratic party in future from the inevitable defeats which await it, so long as it is regarded tho mere representative of Dtlehananiem. ' The official influence In this city derives its strength not so much from the numbers con trolled by it—for they form but a small portion of the members of the Democratic party—but from their discipline, their unscrupulousness, and their close attention to the primary assem blages, which control the nominations, the choice of delegates to District, State, and Na tional Conventions, and thus influence the whole policy of the party. The power of the Federal officials is last waning away. They have sanctioned a gross betrayal of the prin ciples of the party, and they have brought down upon its devoted head a succession of terrible defeats. If their counsels prevail now they will secure, In the great Presiden tial campaign of HO, a national repetition of the disasters they have already brought upon the State and local tickets of all the Democrats of the North. Tho Democracy of Philadelphia, in deciding whether they will submit to the selection of delegates to the next State Convention, and, consequently, of delegates to the next Na tional Convention, by the Federal officials of this city, virtually decide between future vic tory and future defeat—between the continua tion of the party as a powerless and unsuc cessful minority, or its re-establishment on a new basis, which, by its just concessions to the demands of public sentiment, would in sure future triumph. There is nothing needed to rout the cohorts of the Administration in every Representative district but a resolute and determined effort, and a full expression of the honest Democratic sentiment which abounds everywhere, at the primary assem blages of the party. it is evident that no men aro better satisfied of this fact than the officials themselves, for fear and consterna tion are displayed in all their movements, and in the tone of those who arc their champions. There never was in this country, since it secured its freedom from the yoke of Great Britain, a more complete exhibition of despot ism than that which the Administration pre sents in its relations to the Democratic party. Men aro pursued for honestly entertaining opi nions so orthodox that none dared to question their correctness two years ago, with as much vindictiveness as if they were the veritable outcasts and felons of society. All the ma chinery of the Government is brought to bear upon them, so far as its power can possibly extend, with as much ma lignity, and in as tyrannical and ferocious a spirit, as any despot of Europe ever evinced against the champions- of liberty. There is scarcely a classic appeal against existing ty ranny in any ago or country that does not pre sent many striking points of applicability to the present position of the Democratic party in its relations with the treacherous servants who now assume to be its masters. There never was a greater mockery upon any cause, just in itself; and which possessed a hold upon human sympathy, than the application of the word Democratic to the Federal Administra tion, or the control of the Democratic party by its officials. They illustrate and enforce, by their daily acts and policy, nearly every ty rannical theory, every anti-Democratic doc trine, every despotic sentiment that has dis graced the human race. But the masses of the Democratic party are too ardently at tached to the Into principles or liberty to al low official despotism to continue its influence for any extended period. Thu genuine Demo cratic spirit of the nation is rapidly and cer tainly asserting its dignity and power, throtigh the aid and influence of thousands who are sickened by the despotism of which new evi dences aro daily presented to their minds, and by the weakened anti distracted condition into which the Democratic party has been brought by the treacheries and tyrannies of the Admi nistration.

THB PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1859. 7 We may expect to hear, from all parts of the South, that the people in that quarter of the Union are greatly excited at the tragic evt.nts at Harper's Ferry. This is but natu ral. Tho ultra-Abolition sentiment in the firee States• for the last twenty-five years has been rapidly tending to extreme measures, and there have not been wanting, in either sec tion, political demagogues to fan the flame. We, who reside in the free States, can hardly conceive the sensitiveness of the people of the South after an excitement such us that which took place in Virginia a few days ago. Every variety of apprehension will be anticipated and suggested, and many honest men will no doubt be led away by the general feeling. In such a state of things it will be well for our Southern brethren to turn their eyes to the patriotic and sympathetic fooling in the North, where all classes and all parties-- Democrats, Republicans, and Americans, with very inconsiderable exceptions—stand ready to sustain them in all their rights, and at every hazard to protect them front the horrors of a servile insurrection. This fact should present itself to the reflecting men of the South, and should guard them against the slightest encou ragement of any stop which might look to com prehending the freo States in the ,olightest sus picion of sympathy with the actors at the late tragedy at Harper's Ferry. Violent remedies will no doubt be suggested by violent men in the South, as a protection against a repetition of the late sad scenes which have so much aroused the country. Such recommendations can do no good. Tho sympathetic feeling for our Southern friends, roused by the Harper's Ferry anitir, may be followed by a fearful re action, should not the Union-loving men of the South respond to It heartily and at once. 0* The Public Ledger of yesterday seems to be nervously anxious in regard to the authorship of a communication published in this journal of Wednesday, giving a descrip tion of Joux BROWN, of Ossawattomle, and stating some other matters in reference to the movements of leading Abolitionists. - We gave the " observations" in question as a mere matter of news, having expressed our own opinions editorially on the same day, in the most explicit manner. Tile Paces never prints a communication on any question, without first obtaining the namo of the writer; and the " observations" in question were enclosed to us by the Secre tary of the Anti-slavery Society in this city, who, whatever may be said of his peculiar opinions, (which we have always opposed,) is among the representatives of a class of anti slavery men in this city who regard the recent tragedy at Harper's Ferry with quite as much horror as the Ledger itself, and who profess to operate entirely by argument, and ridicule the alternative of the "bullet and the ballot." Wo harilly think the secretary of such a so ciety would be a .
