It is in excellent condition, having been made to order a year ago, and will be sold at a bargain. For tarns apply at this office, or ad dress John W- Fount, 417 Chestnut street, Phi ladelphia- The evident design of the Breckinridge party in carrying out their scheme at Charles ton was the ultimate dissolution of the Union. In the iall of the Democratic party, the North ern Democratic sentiment was divided—the South was politically estranged, and the issue which was threatened as the result of Mr. Lin coln’s election was precipitated upon the country. That issue by their own wicked in trigues involved civil war. The election of the President was nothing more than the pre text for the consummation of a long matured scheme, springing from the brain of John C. Calhoun, and the friends ofMr. BeeokinridQK in the last election were the mere agents of a deep and dark conspiracy. They exesnted the duties of their agency until the close of Mr. Buchanan's Administration. They in the North insisted upon humiliating concessions to the Sonth, and clamored for a most disgrace ful surrender of our national honor. They encouraged Mr. Buchanan in his weak and timid policy, and as State after State seceded from the Union, they attempted to lull the na tion into a false sense of security. They talked of the wrongs of the South, and prepared com* promises while the South talked treason and prepared batteries at Pensacola and Port Moul trie. The outrage at Fort Sumpter silenced but did not subdue them. The smoke of that bombardment has passed away and the country is resuming its wonted calmness, while the men who previous to It were anxious to de grade the nation are again before the country with the same motive. The means have only been changed. Then their cry was compro mise ; now their cry is peace. Senator Breckinridge having been repudi ated by his own State, is now talking Disunion in other States. And the friends of Mr* Breckinridge are busily endeavoring to manßfactnre public sentiment for him, and the canse he represents. They rally under tbo flag of Disunion, and fraternise with the enemies of the Union. They are as deaf and blind to the wrongs and forbearance of the North, as they are deaf and blind to the treachery and cruelty of the South. They base their course upon the “ usurpations of Mr. Lincolh,” bnt say nothing of the usurpa tions ot a great conspiracy. Mr. Lincoln sus pends the habeas corpus, imprisons traitorous and seditious persons, defends the capita), and endeavors to execute his great and solemn Oath, and he is denounced as A military tyrant and a usurper. Jefferson Davis steals our forts and arsenals, sends pirates out on the sea, builds batteries upon the Mississippi, and equips an immense army for the purpose of waging upon us an offensive war, and yet not one word is said of his usurpations, and in stead of tyranny he 1 is complimented for his forbearance and long-suffering. According to their argument the Sonth is a teartu ly injured and oppressed community, while the North is its malignant and implacable foe. They call this a « Black Republican war,” and almost in the same voice they complain oi the want of conrage on the port ot Republicans, and say that Democrats only are fighting it. Tbey show on every occasion the utmost contempt for oar flag, and exemplify it by affiliating with those insurgents wbo b&ve endeavored to dis grace it. All their actions point to one pur pose, and that purpose is the dissolution of the Union. 'Flu* At* sftlflßh and ambitions man. And ever; selfish and ambitious reason prompts them to attempt a dissolution of the Confede racy. In a regenerated Republic they hare no future. The hour which witnesses the resto ration ot Federal power witnesses their down fall finally and lorever. They have only lived by the nistenee of a dishonest, disloyal, and Disunion sentiment. That sentiment has pre vailed in the legislature tor the last quarter of a century. It went into our political con ventions, and into the feelings ef the people. It lived by a constant system of intimidation and , bravado. It was sustained by the patro nage of several successive Administrations. It was fostered by the social leeling which the . peculiar institutions ot the South engender. It was strengthened and emboldened by the submission and acquiescence ot the North, or rather by the submission and acquiescence of those men in the North who are now promi nent in the movement for peace. This war has ended all that, and the only hope which the cringing and time-serving politicians have is iu the erection of a peace party, the ces sation of the war, and the dissolution of the Union on such terms as will humiliate and cripple the North, and give to those who have been heretofore controlling it a new and per haps a permanent lease of power. Hence their intrigues and disloyal machinations. On the framework of the old Breckinridge organization, this Peace party is being built. There is the same timber in the rsifters, the same handicraft, the same furniture and house hold appointments. With a few individual and isolated exceptions, this Is the truth throughout the whole North. Wherever we flad an earnest peao.- man, we know he was a supporter of the Ex-Vice President. The newspapers who labored for his success, now labor tor the success of his principles. Here, in Pennsylvania, the issue is becoming closely and clearly defined, and it only wants some sneb eminent and retiring statesman as Ur. W*. B Rued, to como from his bookß and his solitude, and give it the influence oi his expe rience and sympathy. We find in the edito rial department such newspaper-men as San derson of the Lancaster Intelligencer, Acker of the Norristown Register, Honasou of the West Chester Jeffersonian, McDowell of the Harrisburg Patriot and Union, Getz of the Beading Gazette, Niemann ot the Easton Sentinel, and others. All these journalists were ardently in favor of Mr. Breckinridge, and obsequious supporters of Ur. Buchanan. They are now all as ardently in favor of peace, and as obsequious to the rebellious South. In the gallant county of Berks, the sentiment of sympathy with Disunion is being openly manifested. Mr. Anoona, Its Congressional representative, whose vote for Vallahdighan, as Speaker, sent a thrill of shame through Pennsylvania, has been endorsed by a small clique of politicians at a recent public meet ing. When we say that prominent in that meetiog was J. Lawrence Getz, its character will be understood without explanation. It becomes the people of Berks to ntsent the insult thus fixed upon them, and to censure the disloyal coarse oi Mr. Ancona. In other States the same thing holds true. In New Jersey Naar and his newspaper tribe are as bitterly denouncing the war as they did the lamented Douglas. In New York Ben Wood neglects his lotteiy business to calum niate the North, and to denounce every friend of the Union in the Nonh. The Albany At las and, Argus is rapidly drifting into the same stream. Deah Richmond and his Albany lob by, who have made legislative jobbing a pro fession, and have given the New York Legis lature a proverb of odium, intrigue with the friends of peace, and put planks in their plat forms abont purity of government. The Port land Argus in Maine, the Hartford Times and New Haven Register in Connecticut, all show their old Breckinridge affinities, and, after giving a Very weak and temporizing support to the war measnres of the Administration, now give a warm and sincere support to the enemies oi those measnres. It is now shown more conclusively than it has ever been shown before, that the heart of the Democratic masses palpitated for Stephen A. Docolas, and among the most gratifying recollections of the great deceased is the fact that he was warmly and unalterably for the Union and the most stringent means to pro- servo it. Thousands who voted for tbe Fu sion ticket in ibis State, from attachment to pariy traditions and party organizations, will now see the error they committed. And especially will they see it when they see tbe leaders of the Breckinridge element strike hands with the enemies ot the nation. In this war, the Democratic masses occupy a proud and patriotic position. In its management, the friends of Douglas are active and unpre tending. MoClilian was a warm friend of Douglas, and would have preferred him for the Presidency. It becomes the friends ot Douglas te carry their patriotism further. It becomes them to see to it that, in the management of the coming political can vass, they are not caj tied or entrapped into an alliance with the Disunion sympathizers who have controlled the Democratic organiza tion and seek to continue its masters. No friend oi Douglas can ever be trne to him self and to the memory ol his great leader and join with those who have slaughtered him fa cold blood, ffe speak to the honest, the patriotic Democracy, when we say that they can show their honesty and patriotism by placing themselves upon the platform of the Union, and by making confidence in the Ad ministration and a support of its war measures a test ot fealty and fellowship. It must be done. If the Administration falls, the Union falls with it; and, as wt value the Union, we must support the Administration. Not blindly, not as slaves, but with freedom, frankness, and independence—censuring it when wrong, and defending it when right. This is the issue which every man must meet, and whoever falters or plays falsely Is a traitor. We speak plain language, for the honr demands plain ness of speech. While our brave and gallant men are dying abroad, there mnst be no con spiracy at home. We must sustain those good and gallant men by a united and over whelming pnblic sentiment. We must show them that the applause of millions follows the snccess of their arms, that the sympathy of millions attends them in disaster, that the tears of millions fall upon their honorable graves. While they crush treason m the fitld, we must crush treason at the ballot-box. The Result of the War. While it would be a grave error to underrate the numbers and resources of the enemies of tbe Union, it is perfectly plain that, by proper exertions, they can be overthrown, and that there is no good reason why any loyal citizen should be discouraged or disheartened in re gard to the final result of the war. It is true that, if we blindly trust to onr numerical, financial, mechanical, commercial, and naval superiority, without rendering our advantages available, they will prove of little military value. But the disaster at Bali Run has, fortunately, aroused us to a sense of tbe importance ot not only making a formidable demonstration, hut ot exerting a very large proportion of our power —of entering npon the campaign ia an ear nest and resolute spirit, determined not only to do well, but to do our best—and to call into vigorous action the latent energies and capa cities which we undoubtedly possess. It is said by some, that republican institu tions are now on trial in America, and this is, perhaps, strictly true. The failure of our ex pariment may consign the whole human race for centuries to come to the tender mercieß of despotic dynasties or oppressive aristocracies. But, however this may be, it is certain that the loyal portion of this Union, which con tains nearly three-fonrtbs of the white popu lation of onr country, is on trial, and, by its conduct in the present tryiDg emergency, will its rank and position be measured by ail civilized nations of tbe present era and by posterity. A failure to suppress the insurrec tion involves not only the destruction of tbe Union, hot onr humiliation. It would be a virtual confession of weakness that would be a perpetual invitation to martial nations te inmilt.to bully, to annoy, and to attack ns. Nothing make 9 a country sink more rapidly in the scale of nations than a failure to quell a domestic insurrection. If, oy any misfortune to our arms, unexpect ed snccess of the rebels, or tailnre on our part to vigorously prosecute tbe war, our present straggle should be unsuccessful, we should not only have upon-onr immediate border a baugh ty and insolent foe, flushed with triumph, rea dy to make a continued scries of arrogant de mands upon us, and to harass our frontier, bat the nations of Europe would regard ns with mingled pity and contempt, aDd deny us, on frivolons pretexts, eur plainest rights, because they would believe we could not enforce them. in this contest, therefore, _we are fighting for everything-that should be dear to the heart of an American patriot. We fight to punish the infamous traitors who instigated an unjustifiable revolt, plundered the national treasury, insulted the national fl.*g, and who seek to degrade and destroy forever onr glo ' rious country. We light to secure lor Ameri can citizens that protection, upon every toot of American soil, to which they are entitled by the Constitution and laws of our coun- try, and to destroy the terrible reign of terror under which millions of property have been confiscated, thousands of in nocent men cruelly persecuted and killed, and the waist of crimes sanctioned and almost deified, while the highest political virtues have elicited punishment more terrible than that which awaits the meanest and most dan gerous felon. Wo are fighting to wipe away all vestiges of discredit cast upon the valor, energy, will, and power of the loyal citizens of our country at Manassas, by a combination Of unfortunate circumstances. We are fight ing to secure for ourselres and our posterity the inestimable blessings of republican freedom ; to enforce the decisions ol what should be to every true believer in re publican institutions a sacred tribunal— the ballot-box—and to establish upon our shores more widely, more deeply, and more firmly than ever, the free and noble form of government that onr ancestors transmitted to us as a priceless legacy. We are fighting, not only to accomplish all these objects, bnt to secure our homes and firesides from invasion by the savage hordes whose leaders constantly seek to excite their cupidity and all their baser passions by vain boasts that they will have an opportunity to sack and pillage the rich cities of the North; and we are striving to teach, now and forever, the domestic and foreign foes of the Republic, that the hardy freemen of this nation, despite a few disasters and blnn dors at the outset of the campaign, can be come as terrible and destructive in war aB they are industrious and orderly in of peace. With these incentives, it seems impossible, however protracted or painful may be the contest, that we should fail to achieve a com plete success. The Richmond Enquirer, in referring to the recent recommendation of the Rebel Secretary of War, L. P. Walked, of an addition to the insurgent army of three hundred and fifty regiments—making, in addi tion to the present force, an aggregate of five hundred and sixty regiments, or five hundred and sixty thousand men, rank and file—re marks that the « white population of the Con federate States being, in round numbers, 6,600,000 souls, the proposed army would amount to juat tea per cent, of tho Whole, or one Soldier to every ton white persons." It is utterly impossible for onr enemies to maintain in the field, for any length of time, a force of the size here indicated; bnt if they should do so, we cau raise an army of two mil R° n bf lacs—our white population being abont four times as great as that of our adversaries! It would, of course, be as unnecessary as it is undesirable to attempt any considerable in crease ol onr army beyond ihat which has already been authorized by Congress, aud we only revert to these figures to show our im mense numerical superiority over the insur gents. In all the other elements of military strength onr predominance is equally great, and while they are already feeling most se riously the lack of arms, ammunition, and clothing, our capacity for manmacturing and ability to pare base every article that is needed tt> secure the efficiency oi our army, are al most unlimited. The issue of this contest, therefore, clearly and unmistakably devolves upon ourselves. In our hands rest the destinies of this conti nent. if wo can jn the struggle, it will not be on account ot the strength or the exertions of our foes, but on account of our inattention, negligence, ot inefficiency in the management ot the resonrceß with which we have been gifted, or the unwillingness of onr citizens to place them at the disposal ot our Govern ment. All the present indications lead ns to believe that neither of these contingencies can or will occur; and if they do not, onr power to overthrow the insurgents la unques tionable. Edwin James. It is stated that Mr. Edwin James, the popu lar and successful rather than eminent London barrister, arrived in New York, by the Fulton, with the purpose ot being admitted to legal practice in that city. Overwhelmed with debts, chiefly from dealings with the sixty per cent, per annum bill-discounters of London, Mr. James bad to give np his seat in Parlia ment, with the prospects of professional pro motion accompanying it, and 1 to retire from practice, pending negotiations with his credi tors. Bere iB a man whose income was trom $50,000 to $lOO,OOO a year, with his future so much pledged to his exacting creditors, that all they allowed him was from $5 000 to $6 000 a year. They declined the proposals he made for gradnall.v liquidating his liabilities, where npon he retired to Franco, where, having no thing else to do, he has married a rich widow, who has wisely had her lortune settled on her self, out of the reach of her husband or his creditors. Up to their departure, “the happy couple ’’ were spending the Honey-moon at Fbasoati’s Hotel, Havre. In his absence, however, tbe Benchers of tbe Inner Temple, of which Inn of Court Ur. James is a member, have been trying him, on some charges oi malpractice. In bis absence, too, they have disbarred him, which prevents his ever again practising in any British Court ot Law. Considering, too, that Mr. James is a Queen’s Counsel, it must be admitted that the Benchers have indulged in sharp practice against him. The great suc cess of Mr. James, as an advocate—he knows little of law— may have caused no small jeal ousy among seniois at the bar who carry at tenuated brief-bags. Mr. James, as might be expected, iB not going to sit down contentedly under the ban of condemnation thns put upon him. From the judgment of the Benchers he has formally appealed to the justice of the jadges of the land. We take leave to say that Mr. James’s chances of success at the New York bar would be very few. His style, which was novel in England, is in familiar use in the New York courts, and his ignorance of law would give him no chance when opposed to such men as James T. Brady and Charlet O’Conor, Judge Whiting or Recorder Bar nard. By their side, “ he’s not the man for Galway.” Pickings from Punch. Punch, which has fought very shy or alhr siong, by pen or pencil, to the doings and mis doings in the. United States, has ventured upon a joke—and that a very bad one—which is as follows: Yankbb-Linebs ahdPbnnt-a Liners —We re ceive each extraordinary bombastic statements from America, reepeeting the elvil war, that w* think a new line of steamers ought to be specially appointed to bring them over ? Instead of Canard’s, way establish for the oooasion a fast-going line of Canards ? After reading the above, one is tempted to inquire, with Lord Dubdrbakt, “Where’s Botnet 7” Punch is not much more successful with subjects nearer home. He was expected to make merry upon the elevation of Lord John Russell to an Earldom, and addresses six eight-line stanzas to “John Russell, Earl Ludlow,” —whereas, the little fellow’s title is Earl Russell. The gist of these lines is that Lord John will find tne Upper House rather slow. A cartoon is better. It depicts Punch holding a tearfnl farewell to Lord John, who, nearly lost in the heavy robes and big coronet of an Earl, is creeping into the House of Lords, of which Brougham, coronet on head, sits as janitor, pipe in mouth and newspaper on lap, sadly saying, “Eh, Johnny! ye’ll find it mighty dull here.” Pennsylvania State Teachers’ Associa- The State Teachers’ Association of this State met at Lewisburg, in the large hall of the university o* that plaoe, on the 6th, 7th, and B'h Inst.

This resolution was ably sustained by most pa triotic addresses from Prof. Stoddard, President iiOemis, Dr. Bor-ows, and others. A resolution was also offered, that the funds now in the treasury Be applied to the pnrohasa of a rifle oannon, to be presented to the Government of the United States, wi vorably. The attendance on Saturday evening was quite satisfactory; and, in oompltanoe with a general call, Mr. Edwin Adams appeared before the eurtain, and stared that if the attendance was as good as on that (Saturday) evening he should oontixrae the experiment throughout tho week.

Special Despatches to ” The Press.’ 1 Washington, August 12 1811 The English Fleet and the Blockade. The alleged soml-cffioial annonnesmant in the Riohmond papers, that Admiral Dundis intends to take his fleet into Charleston rogardless of President Lincoln’s blockade, is of no possible slgnifioanoe even if the statement is true, for the war vessels of any nation with whioh ws are at peaoe have a right to enter onr ports notwithstanding the block ade, whioh is intended to operate against oom meroo with the disloyalists. A nnmber of the most distinguished army offi cers of Europe, and particularly in Ragland and France, have tendered their services to the United Stales, bnt it is not known that any of them will be aooepted. One of them in his letter says that he regards the oontest as between civilisation and bar barism, and his love for the former controls his ac* tlons. There is good authority for saying that there is no trath in a reoently reported Conversation be tween Lord Ltons and Beoretary Seward on tbe matter of sending a speoial messenger to England with an acoount of the Ball Raa battle. Whatever Lord Lyons may have transmitted on that subjaet was through thA ordinary channels. Arrest of Fx-Minister Faulkner. The arrest of Charles J. Faulkner, ex minis ter to France, was effected to day by a detaoh ment of the Provost Gnard, who for that purpose repaired to his hotel. He was oonvayed to the jail under orders from tha military authorities through the War Department. He is not permitted to hold correspondence or conversation with any of bis friends at present. As to the specifla oharges m - der whioh he is held, tbey are, so far as the public is oonoonied, mere matters of speculation, but something has beea said about his having a com mission as a brigadier general in the rebel army. A formal examination into the oase will, however, soon take plaoe. Shortly after his arrest he re marked that he was not aware of having done any thing to justify these proceedings, and but for them he would have had his aooonnts settled to day at the State Department, which he had visited the day after his arrival in Washington on that business, as well as to call on Secretary Seward in acoordanoe with the courtesy governing minis ters returning from abroad. The Privateer York. Gommandor Gqldsbubo, of tbo stoamor Union, oommunloatos to tbo Navy Department some in teresting fads concerning the complete destruc tion, by fire, of the privateer-schooner York, off Cape Hatteras Light House. Tha other vessel cap tured proved to be the schooner Oeorge C Baksr, taken by tbe U. S. sohooner South Carolina, on the aoast of Texaß, and bound to New York, and recaptured by the privateer York, seventy-five miles northeast oi Capa Hatteras. He has placed a prise crew on bosrd and brought her to port. Her piratioal orew, font in number, are in irons on board the Union. He had boarded the Baker the day before her oaptnre. She was then in command of a Mr. Aib it, with a prise orewot fire men from the South Carolina, who are now prisoners to the rebels. A Dead-Letter Robber Detected. The Rsv. T. Fibre, a Universalist praaeher, editor, Ao , formerly of yonr eity, has for some time past he>d a good position in tha dead-letter department of the Post Office here. By his folly he has fatten. For some time past the meagre re turns he was mi king cansed snspioion. On Friday morning last, before the reverend gentleman had commenced his work, a oonple of letters containing marked notes and specie were pnt Into his pile. In the afternoon, as nsoal, he stated to the ohief of tha office that he had ne rotnrns to make, and he was at onoe arrested by an officer who was present. He was searched, and the marked money fonnd on his person. In the drawer of his desk a namber of lieentions books wbtoh fitly oorrespondad with his pretended oharaoter for striot morality were fonnd. Through the intercessions of bis wife and daughter, who Boon heard of his arrest, the legal proceedings against him were dropped, and ha was dismissed from offioe. Additions to the Blockading Fleet. Mr. Fox, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, has warned from the Nsrth, whither he went on basinets oonneoted with the department. So far, about seventy vessels have been purchased, and thirty chartered, or a largar number of ships than previously composed the navy. They are gene rally of light draught, intended rather for coast than for sea purposes, much attention having bean paid to swiftness. New York Horse Artillery Regiment Colonel Latboe. of the New York Horse Artil lery, whose regiment is now at Camp Lew, New York, arrived bere this morning, and will leave this afternoon, having reoeivad from the War Da pariment an order for immediately mustering in his regiment. Be speaks in the highest terms of the facilities furnished by Mr Lasuar, ohiaf clerk of that Department, and the promptness of Major General McClillae, General Sanford, and Ad jutant General Thomas, as wall as the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of War, in tha transaction of his business. He had time, also, to call on the Secretary of State. Colonel Latsov is entrusted with the duty, in oonutotlon with the quartermaster at New York, of collecting and forwarding to their respective regiments, here and elsewhere, those whose time of furlough has expired, and others who are absent from other oauses Persons especially interested in this matter oan obtain information of Captain Gxiffih, at the Western Hotel, New York, or of Colonel Latsox at Elm Park, Staten Island. The New .Regiments Amr«. Within twtnty-fonr hours the Twelfth Pennsyl vania, (reserve,) Cil Tasoart ; Fourteenth Mas sachusetts, Col. W B Greene; and Fifteenth Massashnsetts, Cel Charles Devon, have arrived In the oity, numbering together 2 900 offioers and men. They all arrive in very fine oendition, and fully armed and equipped. One of file Massachu setts regiments brings 130 horses, and 43 wagons; the other, 115 hones, and 25 commissariat wagons, 5 ambulances, and 2 hospital wagons. The Msssaohußstts 15th, lSib, ITth, 181 h, 191 h, 20th, and 21st regiments are In camp in the viclni. ty of Boston, nearly all foil and ready to move for ward. The Messaohnsetts regiments bring the largest number and finest horses that oome to Washington. The War Department most earnestly desires that quartermasters would eome on one train ahead of their regiments, and thus have time to make their requisitions before the men arrive. By this sys tem, there would, be no delay when troops arrive hungry and in need of rest. This matter la also urged by tho Sanitary Committee, as being eondu oive to the comfort of the men and general health of the army Much suffering has been experienced by men who, on arriving here, have had to wait ten or twelve hours for their first meal. The steamer Chesapeake, Captain Willis, of New York, left hero for that port yesterday. She brought among her freight a large eleven Inoh gun, weighing 15,918 pounds, from the Brooklyn navy yard. Most of the vessels whioh have been captured on the Potomao and brought to the yard are being towed to the western part of the city, near George town, as they ooonpy too muoh valuable room at the navy yard. The steamers Mount Vernon, Baltimore, and Philadelphia are still lying at the wharf, awaiting orders, with steam always ready. The steamer Powhatan is anohored in the stream, near the yard.

Starting at a donble-qnlok, they gained tight of the town, and, nnder cover of a cornfield, gained sight of the oavalry about thirty rods distant. Resting for a few minutes, they heard the rebel captain give the order to mount, and, believing that they had hben discovered, and were about to be ohargtd upon, Captain Kennedy charged on the town at a double-guiok, firing two volleys as they ran. The enemy, after firing a few harmless shots, made their way, oonoealed by the houses, out c* the opposite side of the town, bnt not until they had one lieutenant killed and five men wounded, as was ascertained from a person who same into town soon afterwards.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial , writing from Cairo, Illinois, gives the following intelligence of the movements of the enemy; u A Union man, who was drivan from Prise’s Landing, on the Mississippi, ton miles above Cairo, arrived her* to day. He says that Captain i Pnos, of tho rebel army, slept at his house last [ Wednesday nighr, and that he conveyed him to I New Madrid from there on Thursday He states that four additional steamers had reaobed that point from bolowwith reinforcements for the en emy. Strange as it may appear, he positively as serts that the best drilled organization at New | Madrid is a negro oavalrv company! Ha also avers that tbe plan of the rebels ia for Jeff. Thomp son to attack Cape Girardeau with his fore* of 8 000, in order to attract the at-ention of General P> on rise in that direction, whiie General Pillow, 18 000 etrong, is to advanoe' on Bird’s P nut—both attacks to be made simultaneously A scout, who leit Pillow’s samp at New Madrid on Knnday, eayr. he estimates his foroe at 12,000. while our scoot is cotfilent it does not exceed 8 000 G,n. Pillow is throwing up ontrecahmsnts there, and has aotually made the ditch on the wrong aide ! New Madrid will doubtless be the ahief Northern rendezvous of the rebels for the present. Co'ooei Ketohnm, with 1,000 rebels, is enoamped six miles west of Charleston, Missouri, evidently moving towards Bird’s Point or Cape Girardeau. The border eountiis in Missouri are overrun with ms. randing parties, who ara committing depredations and murdering Unionists. They are particularly brntsl to the German population, une entire family in the vioinlty of Charleston, including the husband, wif«, and three children, were cruelly murdered on Monday night, aad their stock and household goods appropriated ” Important from the Kanawha, BBPOBTBD BAITI.B—BX OOVBBNOB WIBB CAPTUBND, [ The Cincinnati Press of Friday last, says that the steamboat Ida May. from the Kanawha, ar rived there on Thursday afternoon. While stop ping at Ironton. the olerk of the boat learned from a man ntmtd Barber, who had jnst returned from Genley Bridge, that Colonel Tyler, at tbe head of fonr regiments, attacked Governor Wise’s com mand, and, after a long and sanguinary oontest, captured his entire army. Mr Barber is repretented by the officers of the boat, wno are well acquainted with him, as per ieotly reliable- Ho says that he wae in Cox’s oamp on Saturday, and that while there a oonner arrived with a despatch from Cel. Tyler, stating that he had oaptured Wise and his whole army, bat not nntil fifteen hundred of the rebels and five hundred of his own men were either killed or wonnded. Wise had been Intercepted about forty miles from Ganley Bridge, at whioh place the action is reported to bare oeearred It it said that the re bels numbered about three thousand five hundred men, and were well equipp'd. Although we oannut affi m with certainty that the rumor ia true, yet there are several ciroum stances which render it highly probable The lo oality and time are both given with aoonraoy, and by watching the movements of Col. Tyler and Gen. Wise, we are led to believe that if they met at all, it most have been at that plaoe, and abont that time. . The rumor la farther corroborated by the story of a desarter from tbe rebel army, who arrived at Catllesburg before the news of the battle was olr onlated, and who informed tbe people that on the day he left Wise’s oommand (July 31st.) the ex- Goveroor had made a speech to bis troops, inform ing them that he was surrounded, and that they mnst fight, or be made prisoners. That evening he (the deserter) made his esoape. Tnera has not, at the time of writing, b**B asy dospatoh at the war effiee from Genera] Rosen orane relative to the matter, and therefore the story is not oredited in offioial oiroles; bnt it must be remembered that Rosenorans ia at Clarksburg, one hundred and fifty miles from where the battle is alleged to have taken place; and that it wonld have been extremely diffiouit for a courier to have reaobed him in any other why than that by the Kanawha routo, end coneeqnenily the report would reach here before it oouid have been taken to Clarksburg. .

Tui Natal Saavioi A Naval Board bag raoenriy been appointed in the leading oities cl the Union, to make a survey of oraft, and seleot those vessels oapable of undertaking ooastlng ser vioe The said board made, last week, a survey of tho shipping in the port of New York, and took notes of the dtmesii.-ns, draught, etc , of a few vessels. They have also made, through delegates, a round ol the wharves of the Delaware, and fixad nnon three or four vessels, that might, by judiolons alteration, answer tbe purposes of light draoght naval vessels, to peer lsto the inlets and bays of the Atlantio and Golf coasts, to sink or intimidate the pirate vessels of Jeff. Basis, that have, thus - ■'—•'J far, avoided the bloekading .quadrons, and made of the seas a highway for depredations upon harm less morobant vessels. Wo knew of five or six vessels that would admi rably answer the purposes of Government. They now lio idle, and oonld be chartered or pu’chased for an icsignlfioant sum. One of these now lies at the dry-dock ot Simpson A Neill, a itanach, solid hull, not yet rigged, and therefore oapable of *ny alteration that tha naval constructor may deem ncoessaiy. Along tha wharves of Kensington, tbe oily proper, and Southwark, there are a number ot fine vessels, which tbe troubles of the times have made useless, whiob Government could readily fit ont, endow with a small armament, and man with some ot the ablest watermen along our river front. Full of lojralty, terrible in their hatred of the sea myrmidons of Davis, end, moro than all, loving tho sea because it is tboir element and their bread, these coasting vessels might, by sharp skirmishes with privateers, make of our naval servioe a pres tige, equal to that whioh the United States marine aobioved when goir-g forth, in 1812, to sweep the seas and build up a national renown Puiladelphla hss, too, about fifty steam toga, or tow boats, of light draught, (screw propellers,) that oould ride any rhoal, with a pivot-gun at the stern, and by soperior speed mako tremendous in roads upon the rebel oommoroe, and yet undergo no danger. Our port has more of there than any single port on tho Atlantio ooast, for Philadelphia is, in sort, an inlatid oity, and has no open bay like New York, coming np to her docks and wharves. Togs have been necessary to bring these vessels np to town in a state of oalm on the river, and we have, really, a surplus of them With a gun at tbe storo and a lighter to oarry ooal—whioh lighter might be abandoned in easo of abase—the tags would become formidable, and their small proportions would make them diflfoult otjsots for hostile oannon. We oan readily imagine one of these steaming np to the walls of Sumpter or Pike, secure amid volltys of shot. At tbe uavy yard, about seventeen hundred hands were employed, yesterday. Tbe Tusearora is on tbe stocks in the ship house, and preparations are being made to fit out the Juniata. Five hun dred men will be employed upon either vessel, and the Tusearora will be launohed in tan days. A number of small barges and ships boats are being eonstrncted. The San Jacinto and the Afacc* /lonian are expected to arrive daily, and tbe Sus qaehanna is now receiving a new shaft.

There wss an immense crowd of people assem bled to give weloome to this well known oorps The company was formed on the platform of the depot, and, having deposited their baggage and trophies in furniture o.rs, they merehed out of tho depot, amid the most enthusiastic cheers. On Broad street they were joined by a very handsome escort of etilssns and reiurned volun teers, oon.tisting of Captain Isaac Bassett’s ootn pany of Cadwalader Grays and Captain Croatia's oompnny of tha Soott Ligion The procession was beaded by Beck’s Band. The column moved up Broad to Christian, and down Christian to Eighth, where the streets were almost impassable. Just after they started, surrounded by a large crowd of admiring friends, a soldier walking be hind all the others with an officer of the regiment, having been deprived of his gnn for some reason, sprang upon the man who was lurrying the weapon and sirove to wrest It from him. Peace was re stored for the moment by the officer, bnt presently tbe malcontent managed to seize the musket. Hs then ran offintothe crowd, bnt the officer was after him They wrestled there eeveral minnleß over the gnn, the officer, who also oarried a pike, having his hands considerably aoratehed F t fear the soldier, who was probably excited, should use the bayonet, a bystander palled it off, aud presently the oulprit yielded to the foroe of circumstances The procession had, meanwhile, moved into Christian street, drawn thither evidently by their affinities, for many of them met recognitions fer vent and enthuriaetio, from female oocupante of houses on that street. They next turned into Eighth street, and oppesite tba Moyemeneing Hose House they were greeted with bell-ringlngand half a dosen dischargee from a small cannon They met another hose cart a few blookß on, and seemed to excite a good deal of curiosity and enthusiasm ail along their ronte. After marching throrgi several streets, they brought up at the National Guards’ Hall, where they staoked their arms. Colonel Lyle said that, owing to the short no ioe whioh he had, he was unable to have many of his men in the escort of Captain MoMnllin, for whi .h he was very sorry.
