F.—The Grand Lodge of the Considerable interest is being manifested in rela tion to the approaching annual session of tho Grand Lodge of the United States—the Sonato of Ameri can Odd Fellowship. The Or Slid Lodge mot in Nashville, Tennessee, last year, and adjourned to meet in Baltimore on the third Monday in Septem ber, 1861. It is asserted that tho M. W. Grand Sire, Robert B. Boylston, of South Carolina, is iu active service in the Confodorato army. The fol lowing “recommendation,” purporting to have been written by him, appears in the Charleston (S. S.) Courier : “I. 0. 0. P. I [L. S.] Office op tub Most Worthy 1 Gband Sink, G. Ij. U. S. f Wi nsboro’, S. C., July 15,1861. j “ Upon a visit home, after an absence of sovoral months, I find, awaiting an answer, numorous com munications, official and private, it is impractica ble for mo to reply to them separately, within a reasonable time. If for no other cause, mail com munication between the different bodies which com posed the Grand Lodge of the United States is at an end. nnd personal intercourse among the mem bers impracticable. “While the Grand Lodge of tho United States, I. 0. 0. F., never was a political body, us illustra ted by the fact that its jurisdiction extended over British America and the Sandwich Islands, nnd Australia was on the point of bolng admitted into full membership, and while all its members, as such, appeared to recognize tho principle that, so far as this organization is concerned, “no political or sectarian debate is admissible; while recognizing all this, I must practically see that union is now physically and intellectually impossible. No pro vision is made for such a contingency in our Con stitution. “ While I am invested with the insignia of office I have no authority, in this relation, to speak as a politician. “Nor have I power, under tho Constitution, to make any authoritative order under tho present circumstances. “ I recommend to the membership that all moot ings of the supreme legislative head of the order be suspended during the present autumn, as im practicable, unnecessary, and inexpedient. “As to disruption, I have no authority, in this paper, to express an opinion. My own decided opi nions, which furnish the highest incentive to indi vidual action, and have directed my conduct, aro individual and personal, not official, and I do not feel at liberty to express them hero. R. B. Bovlsto.v, “ M. W. Grand Siro.” au27-12t# • The officers of tho Grand Lodge and Grand En campment of Connecticut have issued a oireular, coinciding with the recommendation of tho Grand Sire. We learn, however, from an Indiana paper, that «tho Deputy Grand Sire, Dr. Milton Herndon, of Indiana, and the four representatives from the Grand Bodies in that State, will repair to Balti more at the appointed time, and the regular annual session will he held if a quorum be present.” Tho Grand Representatives from Pennsylvania will be in attendance; owing, however, to the pre sent unsettled condition of affairs, the representa tive tax will not he paid until tho morning of tho session. At a meeting of the Grand Officers held on Friday afternoon the Grand Secretary was di rected to prepare and issue a circular to the dif ferent jurisdictions, urging upon them the propriety of bciqg represented at the session. “Representatives from a majority of the whole number of State, District, aud Territorial Grand Bodies are necessary to form a quorum for the transaction of business;” therefore, it will require a pretty general attendance from the loyal States to enable the session to be held. We do not see that the absence of the Southern members will affect materially the revenue of the Grand Lodge, for at the last communication, in Baltimore, the jurisdic tions of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Alissis sippi, Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Arkansas, contributed to the trea sury of the Grand Lodge, during the preceding year, the sum of $3,008.45, whilst the representa tives drew from the Grand Lodge for mileage and per diem the sum of $3,057.10. Virginia is not in cluded in this computation, t» the Western portion of the State will probably be represented. From an examination of the journals of the same session, we learn that the membership in the States that now comprise “ Sooessia” amounted to 20,604; the membership iu Pennsylvania alone amountod to 42,542. Surely, this fact should give the opinions of the Grand officers of this State great weight with their brethren in other jurisdictions. We trust the circular to which we havo alluded may have the effect of inducing a sufficient numbes of represents fives to attend, so as to form a- quorum, on the morning of tho session. Disorganization in a great charity like Odd Fellowship should, bo checked in its incipicncy. Bloody Affray m Kentucky. [From tho Cincinnati Press, 27th ult.) On Sunday evening last a bloody affray occurred at Stockwcll’s Toll-gate, Boone county,, which re sulted in the instant death of a man named James Moore, while another, named Edward, O'Neal, was so badly cut that he cannot survive The difficulty originated at a Secession barbecue, held somewhere in Boone county, about two weeks since, where Moore, O’Noal, and some other Union men, went as mere lookers-on, but without making any attempt at a disturbance, until five of their neighbors, Secessionists, named. George and Henry McNeal, Woogy Anderson, James Riddle,, and Mil ton Campbell, commenced insulting them by waving Secession flags in their faces, and using ungentle manly epithota. Mooro and O’Neal were entirely unarmed, an were two frionds, Enoch Anderson and James Mc- Carty, who were with them. At the time of tho assault, the four above named were standing in the middle of the street, when the McNeals, Kiddle, Anderson, and Campbell commenced firing with pistols, and it is said that sorentoon rounds were discharged without effect, when the. whole party dropped their fire-arms, drew out huge bowie knives, and rushed upon the unarmed Unionists, stabbing Moore in the side, from-the effects of which ho feel to the ground, and also- cutting him in tho shonlder and arm while lying prostrate and in the last agonies. O’Noal received, several cuts in the arm while endeavoring to defend himself, but was overcome, thrown down, and stabbed in the abdo men. The other two menmade their escape. The people of the vicinity were at once aroused and in pursuit of the murderers, who had remount ed their horses and fled to the South—no doubt to the rebel army. At last accounts it was doubtful if they could be overtaken. au22-lm “ The Incarnation of Mobocracy." The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle of the 16th, re marking upon the destruction of a paper in New Hampshire, and of another in Maine, on account of their abuse of the Government, their denunciation of the war, and their blackguardism of the soldiers, says: This is but the breaking out afresh of the old witch-burning Puritanism of the descendants of the Mayflower passengers, and other early settlers of New England. It is the very spirit of hell itself, the absolute incarnation of mobocracy, which defies law and Gospel, mocks at God, and truth, and jus tice, deifies its own evil nature, and demands that its behests be law for the time. It is a compound, wherever and whenever found, of hypocrisy, self righteousness, bigotry, intolerance, cruelty, and cowardice. Itis tho spirit which wars on tho weak, on women and children, on uifkrmed men, and in' numbers of ten to one, or even as cbwardly as • - hundred to one. It requires absolute agreement of all to its opinions, assumed to be infallible, and de mands obedience to its insane, turbulent will. It is the enemy of government, the enemy of peace, the enemy of Bocial order and of private rights. No government which is not willing and strong enough to quell it, or, failing in that, to bring its instigators, aiders, and abettors to condign punish ment, is worth a copper, nor does it deserve the al legiance of any true man. This is nothing more than we have expected of the North, and is but tho beginning of what we predicted of that lawless people in these columns a year ago. They are not fit for liberty; they do notdcsojyalt,and they have well rtgh lost it, St. Switmm’s Day.— -The Yalue to he placed Unon. the popular notion, that if it rains upon the 15 th of July it will do so for the forty succeeding days, may bo learned from the following facts, from the Greenwich Observatory, for the last twenty years. It appears that St. Swithin’s Day was wet in 1341, and there were 33 rainy days up to the 24th day of August: 1815, 26 rainy days; 1851,13 rainy days; 18a3, IS rainy days; 1854, 16 rainy days; and in 1856,14 rainy days. In 1812. and following years St. Swithin’s Day was dry, and the result was: In 1842,12 rainy days; 1843, 22 rainy days; 1844, 20 rainy days; 1846, 21 rainy days; 1847,17 rainy days; 1848, 31 rainy days; 1849, 20 rainy days; 1850, 17 rainy days; 1852,19 rainy days; 1855,18 rainy days; 1857, 14 rainy days; 1858, 14 rainy days; 1859,13 rainy days; and in 1860,29 rainy days. These figures shew tho superstition to be founded on a fallacy, as the ave rage of twenty years proves rain to have fallen on the largest number of days When St. Swithin’s Day was dry. A Fossil Plant.—A correspondent of the Cam brian states that an impression of a gigantic fossil plant may bo seen, exposed by the blasting of the sandstone, in a quarry between Richmond Villas and Fynone, in the immediate vicinity of Swansea. The portion uncovered measures six feet three inches in width, in tho line of its flutings, and five feet six inohes in height at one of its sides. It 3 structure, so novel and singular, does not seem to bo referable to any of the known vegetable typos of the carboniferous era, and there is hut one form hitherto figured to which it bears any resemblance; but the specimens of this plant, which are likewise rare, measure only about an inch and a half in width. Smith O’Brien in France.—Mr. William Smith O’Brien has visited tho camp at Chalons since his departure from Ireland. Ho has been most kindly received by the illustrious McMahon, Duko of Ma genta. During his stay at the camp (throe days) he was received as a guest in the house of the mar shal. —Cork Examiner, United States. FOREIGN NEWS. ENGLAND Tiie Star op India. —Tho insignia of the order have been designed and made by Messrs. Garrard, of the Ilaymarket, The collar is composed of the lotus (the sacred flower of India) and the heraldic rose of England, placed alternately and connected by palm branches e?i saltier, emblematic of peace and concord. Tho central object is the Imperial crown of England. The whole is enamelled in proper colors, nnd tho collar combines at once Ori ental splendor with harmony of tint. To the collar is attached a badge, consisting of a star of five points, and an ova! medallion containing the por trait of tho Queen in onyx eameo, encircled by the motto of tho order, “Heaven’s Light our Guide,” in letters of gold on light bluo enamel. The in vestment badge, which is to be worn on ordinary occasions, os distinguished from “collar days,” pendent from a ribbon of light blue with white borders, is four inches in breadth, and is composed of a diamond star of livo points, to which is attachod an onyx cameo portrait of her Majosty, surrounded by brilliants, the motto being also in diamonds. Tlie star of the order differs from all others, being composed of wavy, rays of gold issuing from a dia mond star of five points, which is surrounded by a blue enamel motto, also in diamonds. A consider-., able degree of costliness has beon, with an appro priateness to Eastern ideas, attached to this deco ration, while there is an artistic embellishment about it whicti tones down tho general effect, and renders it at once rich and graceful. —London News. Lord Palmerston's Inauguration as Lord Warden of tho Cinque Ports is fixed for the 23th instant —tho ceremony to take place at Dover. Tub Latb Session. —Lord Palmerston at tho bo ginring of tho session promised nothing, and faith fully kept his promiso. Parliament adhered to its pleusunt programme of talkative idleness with un swerving consistency, and rose on the 6th instant, after a session hard to describe, except in negatives. It has not added a great law to the statute-book, or developed any project of thrift, or discussed any foreign policy, or devised any new aid to the pro gress of tho mass of the people. It has not revealed any fresh statesman, or elicited. any new idea, or added any strength to the Government, or infused any new onergy into the suffrage.— Spectator. Town Residence for the Prince of Wales.— Marlborough House is now being put into complote repair, and has undergone considerable alteration to servo a 3 a residence for the Prince of Wales. Three rooms on tho ground floor, looking on to tho garden terrace, have been thrown into one, sup ported by handsome columns, clustered with ivy leaves and carved in mahogany, which are re markable for the sharpness and freedom of their execution. The recovery and restorations of the paintings in the hall and staircase are the most im portant part of the present operations. These walls were originally covered with oil paintings of battle pieces and architectural decorations according to the fashion that prevailed at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Iu later times these pictures were wilfully obliterated and covered with succes sive layers of common house-paint, so as to show nothing but a monotonous fiat color to the eye. Laguorre is known to havo oxocutcd these original decorations. In the vestibule at the entrance is recorded to have been painted the battles of Hoeh stet and Blenheim, with the capture of Marshal Tallard, tho French general, and several other officers of distinction. The figures of the great Duke of Marlborough, Prince Eugenoof Savoy, and General Cadogan were especially commended. These vestiges have been entrusted to tho care of Mr. Henry Morritt, who has already succeeded in bringing back to its original freshness, many of the most important figures, and iu which the excellence of the portraiture fully bears out the praises formerly bestowed upon them. M. Blondin's laurels are challenged, and by a lady, who successfully crossed the Thames the other day, or would have done so, hut that some speculative commercial scfendrels cut away the lead-weights which served to steady the guy-ropes. As it was, the “ lady ’ ’ accomplished two-thirds of her transit with perfect ease, and, on finding her further progress marred by the circumstance we have mentioned, quietly lowered herself into a boat, and was rowed ashore. Tiie 20,119 British vessels, exclusive of river steamers, employed in our home and foreign trado in tho yoar 1860, (tonnage 4,251,739,) not including repeated voyages, were manned by 191,888 persons.

To te3t it still further it was charged.with 801 b of powder, a 2801 b shot, and a heavy wad.

Gold in Wales.— That gold.exists in its native state in England and Wales,, aa- well as- in other parts of the United Kingdom..}ms long boon known, but its extraction at a profit seems never to liavo been accomplished. A company, known as the Vigra and Clogan Copper Mining Company, of Merionethshire, claims, however, to have solved the problem. This company commenced opera tions in April, last year, the search being fur cop per, although it was known that gold was to be found, but, it was assumed, not in raffieient quanti ties to repay the outlay. AJter the works had been carried on for some time, however, the lode -became rioh in gold, and we are positively assured that the result of the. operations, fsom January last to the sth July, shows a net profit of £2,500, arising on the gold obtained. Nine hundred and eighty-tbroo ounces of gold are now in London from these mines, and will be sent into the bonk after being refined.— Saily News.

Tbe State op Iceland. —Lord Carlisle, Viceroy ef Ireland, was present at the annual banquet of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland at Bel fast, and delivered a speech which will be read with considerable interest. He said: “In my judgment, Ireland has never exhibited such an ex emption from general crime, from political agita tion, or from physical distress and privation as that which she now enjoys. With, respeot to the do creaMof population, there can.be no doubt that the farStloesd pestilence Wjhich worked such fearful havoc upoiHho immediately preceding decade left jm work also bh that which ms succeeded it. But Here is no question that the continuous flow, ef'eml- Kntlon is the chief cause of the great reduction Ehich has ensued in the number of the people. If Ihc number ef emigrants from Ireland itself, ex (fclusive of those who have left other parts of the [United Kingdom, is allowed for, there would have been in the last from 1851 to 1861, an in crease in Ireland closa upon 40,000- Now with respect to-the productiveness of the country within the same periods. The land under cultivation, either under tillage or in meadowine and; pasture, in 1841 was 13,000,000 acres; in 180 l it was above 14,000,000 acres; ia 1861 it is above 15,000,000 acres. The live stock was valued in 1841 at £21,800,000; in 1851 at £27,000,800:; in 1861 at £33,000,000, and this independently of the im provement of quality in the animals, which, I be lieve, is by every one admitted to to very great, amounting, perhaps, to 25 per cent. Along with this great increase of productiveness there has been a very striking diminution nf the small holdings and of the wretched cabins of the peasantry. The value of property rated to the relief of the poor in 1851 was £11,614,000. In 1860 it bad increased nearly a million—it was £12,280,000. How, with this large amount of funds for tho purpose of draw ing upon, I find that the total expenditure of medi cal as well as ordinary poor-law relief in 1851 amounted to £1,150,000. In 1860 it had fallen to £558,000, being less than half of what it was ton years ago. Laatly, with respeot to crime, it ap pears that the offences specially reported to hood quarters in 1350 amounted to 10,630; in 1360 they had fallen to 3,531. The Bishop op Salisbury’s Visitation.—Tho Bishop of Salisbury last week hold his third visita tion of the diocese sinoe his appointment to the see, and delivered a lengthened charge to the olergy, In which he congratulated them upon the defeat of tho numerous attacks which had of lato boon made upon the dootrine, discipline, and position of the Church. The enemies of the Establishment had wife's sisteis efforts fiad been iimSe to unsettle tho standards of tho Church under tho pretenoe of a revision of the Prayer-book; to abolish ehureh rates; to open the Church burial-grounds to Dis senters ; to give them control over schools which ■had hitherto been under the sole management of the Church, and to increase tho facilities for tho ir regular performance of Divine worship; but all these attacks had happily been successfully rosisted, and tho Church and her privileges still remained intact. The Bishop urged upon his clergy the ne cessity for continued .vigilance and firmness in de fenoe of the Establishment, and then proceeded to refer to tho “Essays and Reviews,” and to explain the reasons which had actuated him in instituting proceedings against Dr. Rowland Williams, one of the authors of the work in question. The hearing of the case is expected to come on early next term. FRANCE. The Great Exhibition op 1862.—The Imperial Commission, says Galignani, tor the London Uni versal Exhibition of 1862, has already received 2,686 applications from persons who wish to bo exhibitors. At tho Exhibition of 1851 the number of Fronch exhibitors was 1,700, and the total weight of tho packages sent 730 tons. It is already certain that the French section of the coming Exhibition will he much more extensive, as five Paris houses alone purpose sending goods weighing 73G six tons more than the total weight of all the articles exhi bited in 1851. An Imperial decree enacts that lead im ported into Franco to bo rollod, or raodo into pipes, shot, or balls, shall not pay customs duty, providing the articles manufactured from it are exported. The Abbe Poiloup, tho founder of the Jesuits’ College at Vaurigard, has just died at Meudon. The Tomb op Thousands.—The eloctrie light which is now used to illuminate tho Placo do Palais Royal has lately boon subject to romarkablo changes in its brilliancy, arising from a very sin gular and unexpected causo. Every evening—and especially after a very warm day—clouds of in sects collect around it, and each of tlioin appears to be drawn irresistibly towards tho bright points of burning carbon ; but tho instant thoy touch it they arc broiled to death. The numbers that crowd to it, however, are so numerous that the light appears at times to bo almost extinguished by burning in sects, and every morning tuc bodies of these un fortunate suicides are found heaped up at the bot tom of the lantern in thousands and tens of thou sands. TnE population of Paris now amounts to 1,700,000 souls. In the year 1789 Paris contained but 650,000 inhabitants; in 1817, 713,960; in 1841, 935,201; in 1851, thoy counted above 1,000,000; and in five years afterwards thoy had increased to 1,174,346 souls. HUNG AH Y. It xs stated that Count Forgach, the new Chan cellor of Hungary, Beems little inclined te be the tool of Austria, lie has on several points insisted on maintaining the privileges of Hungary, and de clared that he agreed with Baron vay, that the Chancellor of Hungary could not take his seat in the Council of tho Empire until the nation had sent its representatives. It is also reported that tho Count has intimated that he will not, under any circumstance, lend himself to- ordering direct ciee tions to the Reichsrath. PRUSSIA. Ht<VPrussian Majosty has resolved, it is said, to make further advances towards constitutional government, The responsibility of Ministers, a fact never yet admitted, is to be settled bylaw, almost ox the English basis. A reform is to bo introduced into the House of Lords which will, it is imagined, tend to restrict the somewhat feudal tone of that body. The elected division are now chosen by all noble owners of land, and it is proposed to strike all, whoso rental is less than £BOO a year, from the list of electors. The wealthy noblesse in Prussia, as everywhere else, arc far more liberal in feeling than the lesscr'proprictors. Tho right to administer the police on their own estates is also to be transferred to the State, and the yeomanry are to join in olccting the county magistrates, now selected only by larger proprietors. These mea sures will require the creation of a numerous body of Peers, nnd will probably modify the whole tono and attitude of the Prussian Upper House to the Lower. At present the Upper House, oxcopt upon money questions, is the more powerful of tho two. A huge block of stone, twenty-six feet long, nine feet wide, and six inches thick, was, a few days back, extracted from the quarries of Helsenhof, in Prussia, and despatched to Brussels. It weighs 303,500 pounds, and was drawn by eighteen horses. The man charged with the conveyance was obliged to give security to repair any damage which might bo occasioned to bridges by the excessive weight of the stone. Great efforts are being made with a view to im prove the condition of the Italian army. A loud complaint had been raised that the soldiery were underfed. Though it is well known that the troop 3 were amply supplied with provisions in tho open field, and wlionevcr thoy were put on a war foot ing, it was universally acknowledged that they were stinted in their garrison diet. This is being remedied by the introduction of a better scale of diet, the rations to be supplied by contract, the troops to be divided into regular messes, and al ways be supplied with the proper regulation pro visions. From returns published by the official Gazette of Turin it appears that G 4,504 francs have already been contributed to the Cavour memorial fund. The amount of Peter's Pence raised in tho arch diocese of Mu»ich iu the course of the present year is 25,33 G florins. The Government of tho King of Italy have re solved to hold an exhibition of art and industry at Florence in the ensuing months of September and October, when Italy will see for the first time the works of her artists and the products of her indus try collected together under the roof of a Crystal Palace.

HATTERAS INLET DESCRIBED. This inlet, into which nearly all the prizes which the Southern privateers have brought in have been carried, i 3 described in a letter from the Roanoke, which is one of the vessels blockading Charleston, as follows: “Itis an important entrance to Pam lico and Albemarle Sounds, a point of much inte rest, and I am only surprised that our Government doogßot pay more attention to it. From there ves sels cna run direct to Norfolk, via the Dismal Swamps, and if I had my say I would occupy the point'with Union troops ir possible, aud keep a res sel-of-war there, to protect them, or carry them off if necessary. The Point is ou strip of sand beach, many miles from the main land, that forms tho outside of the Sound, and with a good snnd bat tery, with long-range rifled guns, would be as im pregnable as Fortress Monroe from an attack either by land or water from tho Confederate troops, and. by holding it, would give our rebel friends a mighty sight of uneasiness.” SUSPENDED, The publication of the Norfolk (Va.)

Nearly fifty thousand cartridges of all kinds, from thirty-two grape and canister down to Minie balls and buck shot, are manufactured daily. AN AID-DE-CASr OF M’CULIiOCH. The Momphis Appeal says: Benjamin S. John son, son of Robert W. Johnson, of Arkansas, was engaged in the recent battle of Oak HiU, near Springfield, Mo., upon which occasion he served as Tolunteer aid-de-camp to General MeGulloch. Though less than eighteen years of age, ho behaved with great gallantry and eoolness, and had a horse killed under him during the action. 1 AFFAIRS. AT RICHMOND. A correspondent of tbe Charleston Mercury says: There is universal complaint made of the want of efficiency in the Commissariat Department. "It was felt severely and immediately after the battle of Manassas. Our brave troops, particularly the sick and wounded, suffered greatly. Some of the troops were without provisions from Sunday breakiast un til Tuesday after the battle. Since then it has oc curred more than once that many have been with out food for twenty-four hours. Great indignation is felt throughout the army and in Richmond on ac count of this outrageous and unendurable inefficien ■ cy. The efficiency of the army is impaired, and even its movement? rotardod through the want of supplies. And not only is the department of subsistence ill managed, but the equally indispensable department to the mobility and efficiency, transportation, is also lamentably behind. It was the condition of these two branches of the army which prerontod Gen. Beauregard from advancing to meet McDowell, a 3 he had intended. GEN. PILLOW’S COMMAND. A deserter from Pillow's rebel troops, at New Madrid, Missouri, has arrived at St. Louis. Ho reports that the rebel troops are in a sad plight and almost demoralized. There was a great deal of whisky in the camp, and “free ” fights were of daily occurrence. The idea is general that St. Louis will soon be in their hands. The force under Pillow was 20,000, and 8,000 at Benton under Thompson, and 800 at Charleston under Hunter. He also reports that two masked batteries, that have not been heard of beforo, are stationed, one Sts miles above New Madrid, and the other five miles and a half below that town, on the Missouri bank of the Mississippi. FROM PENSACOLA. Tho Montgomery Mail of tho lOth says: Colonel J. Patton Anderson, First Florida Regiment, now stationed near Pensacola, arrived in our city this morning, en route for the springs, for the benefit of bis health. Wo are glad to learn that the health of General Bragg’s army is very good, a jaarked improvement in this respect u&vthg occurred within the past fort night. The spirits of our brave soldiers there are excellent. They only await the General’s order for a cliivalric, and, wo hope, a sucoossful demonstra tion against Fort Pickens. Two schooners, at tached to the blockading fleet, wont aground ia tho late gale. The Pensacola Observer of the 20th says: Sinoe the storm of Friday and Saturday we have but one visiblo man-of-war left. One bark and several smaller craft are also out there, probably the prizes 9f the blockading squadron. NO HOPE OP BRITISH RECOONITION. The Now Orleans Picayune has been favorod by a morchant of that city with the following extraot from a letter from his correspondent in Manchester, dated July 30: “ Tho cotton market here is very strong, every one having at last wakened up to the critical posi tion of the article, and uncertainty as to the future supply being available. Should tho Ainnrins.ii diffi culties be protracted, as there appears every proba bility they will be, tho effect will.be most disastrous to this country, and wo may in this way bo drawn into a participation in the conflict; but lam satis fied that the Government of England is determined to observe strict neutrality to the last moment, and you must not place much faith in tho hopo which appears to be cherished in the South, that, as soon ns the cotton drop is ready for rnarkot, England and France will find moans to force tho blockade.” A FORTUNATE INDIVIDUAL. Tho Cincinnati puijuirer states that Jocob Man, who some time sinco was employed at tho rolling mill in Covington, has, by tho. demise of a rich uncle in England, come into tho possession of an es tate worth £30,000. TWO CENTS. INTERESTING FROM RICHMOND, Tho Now York Herald says: A gentleman arrived here to-day from Rich mond, via Louisville, Kentucky. Ho has spent several weeks in Virginia, and visited tho lines of the rebel army of tho Potomac, lie estimates the number of men now in arms in Virginia at nearly threo hundred thousand, and tho force on the Po tomac alone at one hundred and eighty thousnnd. Since tho Ist of June, immenso quantities of arm 3, purchased in the East, have been carried into tho State through Baltimore, and their wholoarmyis now well armed. Manassas Junction has been virtually abandoned, there being only n guard left there to look after the guns in battery. Tho principal body of their forces baa been pushed forward to the Upper Potomac, to be thrown across into Maryland, for which movement a column of forty thousand is prepared, with pontoon bridges, upon which they can cross at any point they find the least defended. They are determined to make an effort to get Maryland in their possession, and they believe that will insure their ultimate possession of Washington and all the immense accumulation of supplies there, and enable them to transfer the . ipftfeew. the Potomac to the flnsqachhnnu, and so eure to them the recognition, by Europe, of the Southern Confederacy. This programme has been decided upon. A force of about fourteen, thousand men has gone to Winchester, to co-operate with the column now menacing the position of Gcn.Banks and Gen. Stone. The approaches upon our lines in Washington are merely feints; but the force is deemed suffi cient to carry our works at Alexandria au<l tho Chain Bridge, if the principal part of our forces should be called away to repel the attempt to cross the Upper Potomac. AFFAIRS AT RICHMOND, Special despatches to the Nashville Union and American, of the 23th. communicate the following: A bill has been passed authorising the President to appoint two aids on his personal staff during the war. Congress passed yesterday the navy appropria tion bill. Among the appropriations are ono hun dred thousand dollars to purchase steamers; gun boats one hundred and seventy-two thousand dol lars; for repairing tho steam frigate Merrimac, an iron-clad ship, and raising the ships-of-thc-line Coinm/ms , Delaware, and Pennsylvania, and the brig Dolphin, twenty-five thousand dollars; for a floating battery for the defence of New Or leans, eight hundred thousand dollars; for con structing submarine batteries for the destruction of the enemy’s vessels, fifty thousand dollars: for constructing two gunboats for the defence of Mem phis and Mississippi river, one hundred and twenty live thousand dollars. In view of the blockade, Congress has passed an act, throwing open the whole of the Southern coast for tho entry of vessels, which may enter at any inlet and pay duties at the nearest custom house, and repealing the act establishing ports of entry. It has not yet been approved by the President, who is confined by sickness. FUGITIVES FROM KNOXVILLE The Cleveland (O.) Herald of tho 23th says: There being so many rebel spies in the country, it has become necessary for the authorities to know the character of all passing into Kentucky. This morning, two respectable-looking gentle men, bailing from Knoxville, Tennessee, were de tained for examination by tho authority of Marshal Bill, and also tho Post Office Department. Upon examination they produced three letters from Wil liam Bebb, formerly Governor of Ohio, and now a resident of Eastern Tennessee, which letters repre sented them as Union men of the strongest type. They left their homes, families, and property in Knoxville, to avoid being pressed into the Southern service, and with the greatest difficulty and danger. succeeded in reaching the North. They are personal friends of Andy Johnson, Etheridge, Parson Erownlow, and other Tennessee patriots, and represent the struggle in Tennessee as desperate and determined upon Doth sides. PARSON BROWXLOW. The Memphis Argus of the 21th attributes the following language to the Knoxville Whig : The Administration at Washington has shown snore weakness, vanity, and presumption in its re fusal to exchange prisoners than wo had supposed it capable of. It has planted itself upon an ab straction—could not exchange prisoners, bccauso that act would be an acknowledgment of the ex istence of the Southern Confederacy. This is tomfoolery, and a stickling for dignity and eti quette that can only render them ridiculous. There is such a thing as a Southern Confederacy, or Southern party, or Southern army, or whatever wo may choose te call them, with 200,000 troops in the field, and they made themselves felt at Manassas to such an extent as to at least entitle them to bo regarded as-belligerents, and an organization that the Washington Government might afford to ex change prisoners with! ANOTHER LOYAL-CITIZEN ARRESTED IN TENNESSEE One John Clark, of Cumberland county, in this State, took it into liis head to raise and organise a company of volunteers to4sgbt for the Lincoln Go-- yeruineut. This movement, (in ft State acknow ledging no fealty to that Government, induced a number of citizens of White county to arrest John Clark, and he was brought to this city yesterday and token before the Hon.

THE KONEV IN THE KANSAS CITY BANKS SENT TO FORT LEAVENWORTH, The Leavenworth (Kansas) Conservative of Saturday states that-there was great excitement in Kansas City on Thursday last, and that apprehen sions were felt of an immediate attack of 1,560 rebels, who were reported to be marching on that city. The danger of attack appeared so great, Maj. Yan Horn, commanding the Home Guards, ordered the removal of the funds of tho banks to-F»rt Leavenworth for safe keeping. At 10 o’clock Friday night the funds were taken from the bank vaults,‘placed in charge of seventeen men—five mounted and twelve in tho freight wagons—and sent off to the fort. They reached here at 10 o’clock, yesterday forenoon. The amount thus taken charge of i 3 $158,000, belonging to tho Kansas City branches c£ the State, Union, and Me chanics' Banks. The escort was in charge of Giipfc. Bingham. THE REBEL FRIGATE MERRIMAC. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Fortress Monroe, indulges, in these speculations: There should, bo no apprehensions, about what terrible things the Merrimac may do. At best she is but a floating battery. Her machinery was tho roughly broken up, and whatever use should be attempted to bo made of her, she would have to be towed. Thera is not the slightest probability, lam sorry to say, that she will attempt to,leave Norfolk to come further than Craney Island. No contri vance which the rebels hnvo been ablo to rig can stand the shower of shots that, would be poured into her. Her battery, at best, is not equal to that of the Cumberland, is excelled, by Mio Minnesota’s and Wabash's, while the guns of. the fortress, and the Union gun, within a few Imndred-yaids of which she would hare to pass, would sink her inevitably. The Union would do it aiono. It is hardly probablo that wo are to have any such good luck as a fair chance at the Merrimac, or any other of the boats cooped ap at Norfolk. PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS. De.

To-day city loans, of the old Issue, fell off .J , Pennsylvania Railroad shares i, and Beading lUiiirond shares (. The whole business at the regular meeting of the Board of Brokers sums up 31,600 of loons, and 88 shares of stocks. Business revives slowly, but thoro is some move ment in nearly every branch o? trade, and tho fall trade bids fair to bo moderately good. Money matters continue in the same condition reported from woek to week for a long time past. Cbnfi denco is dear, and a general indisposition to ope rate, for any long period, until after more decided military movements have occurred, prevails .mgne all capitalists. Money on, pall, oopeeqpmtty, tlnues to be plenty at MW rates, but long paper it is hard to place, and only the very best grades of endorsed bills find favor at the bands of money lenders.

The St. Louis Democrat notes a decline in ex change of one per cont. tbe market closing at six per cent, premium for Missouri money. At Milwaukee, the Sentinel quotes exchange easy, at four to five per cent, premium. At Chicago, on Thursday, there was a continued good demand for currency, which is still scarce, and the market for Eastern exchange was dull and’ heavy, at par to a quarter per cent, premium. In some cases it was rathor a difficult matter to sell exchange at par, so great was the pressure on tho market. Gold is still scarce, and in demand at j-ai per cent, premium. The Chicago Tribune says: We hear that in all a dozen, perhaps, of the Illi nois banks will comply with the requirements of the law as it now stands, and establish redeeming agencies here or in Springfield. Our readers will understand that in the event of their doing so their currency, though a half of ono per cent, below it 3 nominal value in gold and silver —that amount be ing allowed for redemption—is far preferable to any that will be sent us from New England or the ad joining States; and we regard it as one among the desirable things in the financial arrangements of our Stnte that it should take the place of tho doubt ful stuff now afloat. At Pittsburg the Post reports: Exchange: selling rates on New York, 12; on Philadelphia, 12 per cent, over bankable funds. Coin selling at 11 over bankable funds. The Cincinnati Times thus notices one change in the tide of trade growing out of the war: Ono effect of the embargo is now visible in tho diversion it is creating towards Northern markets of grain and flour, which have heretofore found sale in the South. In our own vicinity we are begin ning to receive shipments of flour, Ac., from ports on the Ohio, which have heretofore sent their pro duce to Louisville, but which now comes hore on account of the trouble attendant on tho procuring, ofpermits” for every shipment. JiUlJa. on the Indiana’ fide?" wifbfl, ten miles or I.ouKvuTe” are sending their flour to this market for sale by our commission merchants, finding less trouble to do so than to ship them to a port nearer to them, but. less available, on account of the restrictions of tho embargo. The New York Evening Post says, concerning stocks and money in that city to-day: Tbe week closes without any recovery in busi ness on the Stock isacchango.
