The Effect of “ Peace” JDemonistrntiojis. Those whose sympathies are aroused by what they term a regard for the freedom of the press, and who are disposed to approve of the doctrines enunciated at the so-called " peace” meetings which a few intriguing politicians and designing traitors are endeavoring to inaugurate in our country have, in many cases,, never reflected seriously upon the tendency of such demonstrations. They forget that the public expression of such ideas in the North can have no other effect than to prolong the war, to increase the miseries and distresses it must entail upon the country, to crush out the spirit and undermine the loyalty of those citizens of the Border States who are disposed to oppose Secession, and to crip ple the energies of our Government. They forget that humanity, as well as patriotism, should prompt them to aid, in stead of assailing, the Administration, in order that the Government may be as much strengthened as possible, and the duration of the war diminished. The strongest incentive which the traitors hare to continue in an atti tude of hostility to the nation, and thus to protract a contest in which they must eventu ally be defeated, is the belief, carefully foster ed and widely disseminated through the Se cession districts, that such treasonable journals as the New York Day Book and the Daily News, and such meetings as have been called to give expression to the views they have published,, are true t exponents of the senti ments of a large portion of the citizens of the Northern States. Every sentence culled from our newspapers denunciatory of the wav is published throughout the whole South, and treasured there as a precious gem of comfort and consolation. It is well understood here that the representations emanating from the sources to which we have referred are as false as they are impolitic and treasonable, hut they have already served as false beacons to lure thousands of doubtful and wavering men in the Border States on to destruction in the whirl pool of Secession, and to infuse a spirit of energy into the operations of the insurgents, which may result in the loss of the lives of thousands of additional loyal soldiers, who are cm 1 brothers and friends, before the rebellion is suppressed. If a tevriblej[fire were raging in our midst, and while the active energies of our firemen were engaged in subduing it, some miserable, canting w retches sought to exercise the “ free dom of speech” at the street corners; by im ploring those engaged in the task of suppress ing the flames to desist from their efforts and to quietly permit destruction to sweep over our whole city, no sensible man would hesitate long about the propriety of abating such a pestiferous and dangerous nuisance; and the offenders would be fortunate if they escaped instant punishment from an outraged populace. Practically those who preach peace, when there can be no peace consistent with national honor, With out 1 future security, with self-respect, or with the preservation of the Union, are exert ing a similar influence upon the destinies of our country, and they deserve, even now, greater execration than was heaped upon the Tories during our Revolutionary war. Nowhere is the mischievous effect and in fluence of the so-called peace demonstrations, to which we have referred, more clearly per ceived, and nowhere does it awaken greater indignation, than among the patriotic citizens Of the Border States, who, without reference to their former political convictions, are una nimous in the support of a vigorous war policy as the only means of rescuing them from the’ horrors and oppression of the domination of the Southern traitors, and of securing the restorer tion of last ing and honorable iranyujijty merer; country, see'ce&inant evidence® of this in our exchanges, among the most striking, of which is a recent letter from Jambs Monagh.cs, a brother of the somewhat notorious Robert E. MoxAGHAff, of Chester county, to the editor of the West Chester Village Record. James Monaghan removed some years ago to the vi cinity of Louisiana, Missouri, from which place his letter is dated; and, while the Chester county politician sympathizes with the Secession clique that surrounded the Jefferso nian, it will be seen what deep indignation has been m oused in the breast of his loyal brother by - the infamous course that journal pur sued. The letter is as follows : Louisiana, Mo., August 21,1861. Henry S. Evans, Esq,—Dear Sir: A week ago, a greatly esteemed relative and friend, in Chester county, sent me o copy of the Jeffersonian tatooed all over with pencil marks, to call my at tention to articles it contained. lam grown old enough, and am so used to the extravagances and ultramns of newspapers, that I do not think lam easily moved by either. .But I confess that my cheek bunted with shame and indignation as I ran my eye over its columns. That such a paper, at such a time, and amid such surroundings, should have been tolerated in Chester county—glorious old Chester county ’.—for a single day, is, in my mind, a bitter and a burning disgrace. * * * * * The telegraphic despatches which reach me to- i day, through yesterday’s St. Louis papers, inform j the that the good people of West Chester have sup- , pressed the Jeffersonian. From the bottom of my j heart lam glad this has been done. Ido not be lieve I am an advocate of what we call mob law. I I trust lam not. But nuisances do sometimes exist, , wrongs are sometimes inflicted upon individuals and communities which hi) ordinary statutes can ; reach and suppress. The continuance of a paper i such as the Jeffersonian -was is one of these. To . me it seemed to teem with treasonable purposes and sentiments, and to encourage the present wicked and unnatural rebellion, to the utmost stretch that cowardice dare permit. Far more honorable, though perhaps less safe, would it have been to have openly espoused the rebel j cause Legal authority might then have readily hastened its end. But its proprietors seem to have endeavored to secure themselves behind the law’s uncertainties and delays. And it is because of this, and the mischievous influence which such papers are working, thaVl rejoice that it has been promptly, I. hope permanently, suppressed. It must not be supposed that I either forget or cease to admire the freedom of speech or of the press , which Americans glory in having secured to all. Liberty is not license. The legal right to discuss and approve, or disapprove, of the principles and policy of those in authority in the Government, carries with it no right to give “ aid and comfort ” to the ene mies of that Government, in tbeir_ endeavors to overthrow it by violence. The. right to speak , write, and publish opinions upon governmental affairs does not include the right to encourage riots, arsons , robberies, murders, and assassina tions Yet the commission of these very crimes is largely stimulated among us in the Border Slave States, by the course pursued by such papers as the West Chester Jeffersonian , the Easton Sentinel, the Lebanon Advertiser, and a very few others in Pennsylvania; and the Journal of Commerce, the N. Y. News, and Albany in New York. But for this countenance afforded in the free States, I verily believe that Missouri to-day would havo been saved from the ruin and devastation which is sweep ing her southern borders under the influence of ! contending parties. , You, Bir, doubtless remember how strenuously (and I trust eousisUHlly s»d honestly) I opposed you and your party in politics, for nearly a score of the years of my manhood, in the contests often warmly waged among the good peoplo of Chester county. In that time I saw not a few parties spring up in opposition to the Democratic party, struggle through a temporary existence, and then dissolve. Whether these parties attained the end they had in view, or were in thomselves meritori ous, it is not now my purpose to inquire. Of this, however, lam assured —I opposed them all, and adhered with fondness and loyal devotion to the Democratic party, because I believed it best adap ted for promoting the interests and welfare of the country. I confess to no less regard for that party to-day than I have cherished all my lite, while in everything that gives a distinguishing charac teristic to its only living and efficient opponent, the Republican party, I am conscientiously and determinedly opposed. But what of that ? Must I, when ruthless and rebel hands are uplifted to overthrow the Temple of Liberty; —reared not entirely, indeed, but mainly, as I think, by that party—desert the interests and permit the destruc tion of my country, because the party of my choice is not at the helm of State ? If duty to my party requires this, I have'not rightly learned that duty, and trust I never shall. Believing that loyalty to the country and its institutions is the first and highest obligation of every man of every party, I shall not stop to inquire who is in authority, before I perform that obligation- After that is done and tho country is restored to its former quiet, should, parties re-erganize upon the basis of former plat forms, I shaft be found prepared to buckle on my armor and measure my lance with the opponents of the JDemocrary, with as much of zeal and devotion as ever. Until then, I must perform my duty to my country, even if it should be at the ex pense of party. He lacks patriotism who does not, and is neither a good Democrat nor a good citizen. So long as these unhappy disturbances continue, there should and can be out two parties, the loyal and the disloyal, patriots and traitors. How my pulse leaped with gladness at witnessing the una nimity with which all partleß in my native. State responded to the call of the President for men to subdue the rebellion, and protect the capital of our common country from invasion and desecration. The promptness, energy, and unanimity of that re i spouse had well nigh saved Missouri from the bale* I ful influence of secession and rebellion. I have | very little doubt that the same unanimity still pre- BAML. ARTHUR, A. M. 8. A. HARRISON, 1010 CHESTNUT Street. JpiLADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER i,' 1861.

They are doing much to arouse the lethargic, to increase enlistments, and to enkindle the patriotic fires which are destined to consume rebellion.

Armies, navies, and govern ments themselves, are only mighty to the extent to which they arc the representatives and the offshoots of a dauntless and energetic people. Our citizens have been clampring loud and long for resolute action on the part of the Administration. No one can now doubt its disposition to comply with this demand, and there is nothing wanting lo in sure complete success but the unbending awl unyielding determination of the loyal portion of the nation to achieve it. ■' Valuable Recipe*.

Rolla, Sept. 3.—Wo have further particulars of the attack on the Dent county Home Guard, stationed at Bennett’s Mill, under Lieutenant Chandler, by 350 rebels of Schnable’s regiment. The attack was made at daybreak on Sunday morning, when only 38 of the Home Guard wore present. The enemy made one rush, at first, up a ravine, but fell back, owing to the sharpness of the fire poured in upon them, and afterwards fired from the cover of the trees and bushes. At length, the Guards, seeing the danger of being over powered, were ordered to retreat} which was effected down a bluff, each man taking his gun and scattering for himself. When Lieutenant Chandler first heard the alarm he undertook to reach his men, but was prevented by an intervening foree. A man fired on him with & pistol, wounding him in tho arm. Tho lieutenant at once seized a gun and shot him dead. The number of the kilted and wounded of the enemy could not be ascertained. They filled a large Michigan wagon. The Guards had a second lieutenant and private killed, and six privates wounded. The rebels took away between thirty and forty horses belonging to the Home Guards, No information has been received from Captain McFali’s detachment, which left here on Sunday evening in pursuit of the above party.

The revenue officers, on Thursday, seized the bark Laura Russ , of Belfast, Maine, which is said to be partly owned in Florida. The officers of the steamship Marion , it is reported, found on board of the vessel a large Palmetto flag, and that the captain and mate denied having, anything of the kind on board before it was found. The Laura Russ, according to the American Lloyd's Regis ter, is an A 2 bark, of 284 tons, built in Belfast, Maine, in 1856. by Patterson, Carter, & Co., and owned by J. A. Russ, of Belfast. The Palmetto flag has been carried for many years by vessels employed in Southern trade, and it used to be Tory commonly flown as a line signal. VALUE OF TUE HATTERAS VICTORY. A Washington correspondent, speaking of the more tangible advantages accruing to our cause from the Hatteras victory, says: The Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds, with their tributary rivers, and the towns upon their shores, are now at the com mand of the Government of the United States: and with a few small steamers and gunboats, carry ing from five to ten feet water, tbc towns of Wash ington, Elizabeth City, Edenton, Plymouth, New bern, Beaufort, and Atlantic City, will all be at our meroy. In fact, only .Wilmington, of all the sea '[ports in the State, will be exempt from the blockade .or capture which the possession of Hatteras Inlet renders easy. Fort Macon, built by the United States, is at Beaufort, and this circumstance will render its capture difficult; but the command of Cove Sound, which connects it with Pamlico and Neuse river, will greatly facilitate its capture. FLORA TEMPLE CONFISCATED. Tho racing mare Flora Temple—well known in this and other cities for her speed and the many matches that she has made—was seized in New York on Thursday, bv Deputy Marshals Hunt and McCoy, on account of a libel - filed against Flora-by Mr. Ethan Allen, Assistant United States District Attorney, she being the property of Mr. William McDonald, of Baltimore, at the present time an officer in the Southern army, and unless something extraordinary oceure she wul be sold for the benefit of the Government. The race between Flora Temple and Ethan Allen was not interfered with by the Marshals, but as soon after as possible, the two gentlemen proceeded to the stable of Flora, and making themselves and their errand known to the party having charge of her, took possession of her, and placing a lock and key on the door of the stable where she is kept, they deputized a man to look after her and see that nothing was done to injure her or to take her away. This done, they loft her; but it is very probable that the mare will be brought to Now York, from the Fashion Course, where the seizure was made. The person having charge of her expressed some surprise at the idcaof taking her upon such grounds, but the instant that he saw that the Marshals were vested with the proper authority he made no resist ance. The owner will be at once informed of the seizure. A NOBLE LETTER FROM MAJOR BUTLER From a private letter of Major General Butler, published in the Lowell Advertiser , we make the Mowing extracts; , , As I nave stated to you, and as I have publicly repeated, when I left homo I left all politics, in a party sense of the term, behind me, and I now know no politics in any sense, save as represented by the question: How best to preserve tho Union, and restore the country in its integrity '< Peace is desirable to all, and to none more so than the sol dier who has loft his friends and his homo to do his duty to his country. But, however desirable, it is not to be purchased upon any terms, save the re cognition of tho authority of the Federal Govern ment over every inch of territory which ever bo longed to it. Upon no condition whatever, other than this, would I consent to peace. A peace in volving tho disintegration of the Union, or until the supremacy of the Government is forever established, would be simply a declaration of per petual war Of sections. Were the Southern Con federacy to-day acknowledged in the fullness of good faith, two months would not elapse befuro causes of war would arise, sufficient not only to «, but to demand a renewal of tHe conflict. a months have passed in the last ten years, at least, in which outrages have not been commit ted' upon Northern men in the South, Which, had they been perpetrated by a foreign nation, would have demanded a redress of grievances, undor a pain of suspension of diplomatic relations. On the matter of the nomination—l oannot con- sent that my name shall be used by any party. While on some things, as you- arc aware, I do not agree with the principles upon which both the State and the National Administration were inau gurated, yet we. are a long way mist that. Tho Republican party, having won a wditical victory, both in the State and in the nation, is entitled to the patriotic endeavor of every man to give it a fair trial in the administration of the Government. Let it be understood, that without distinction w party and without raising party issues, alt men who love the Union are determined to stand by it and the country until this rebellion shad bo quelled, and then we may hemftw d«‘*de as we niewe upon the minor cUtftoronoes of twwntetrauQn o£ Government.

General Beauregard’s official report of tbo buttle of Bull Run, on the 18th of July, is published* It Is a model in style, clear, forcible, elegant, com prehensive, according to the Richmond papers: rnon this v. s. seamer Niagara. A correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch',- writing on tvard the Niagara, blockading eff the Southwest Pass, off thoMfiiissippi river, says, un der datnrf.thnSih ult,: “We arrived in these regions August 6th, from Port Piekens. At the L’Outre Pass we found and left the United Slates steam sloop-of-war Brooklyn, and United States sloop-of-war St. Ltniis, holding that Pass in an efficient man ner! Arriving at this Pass, we found the United States steam frigate Powhatan, Commander Por ter. 11 Up to this date but one vessel has been sighted. On the afternoon of the 12th a vessel was reported in sight, about six miles dißtant, steering for a nar row and shallow pass near here, navigable only to small croft. At daybreak on the 13th a. boat with an armed crew was sent from the Powhatan to overhaul her. That evening they brought in the schooner Abbie Bradford, of Boston, having an as sorted cargo. She was taken seventeen days before as a prise, by the rebel sohooner Sumpter, near Porto Bello, a port near Aspinwall, and sent by her to New Orleans, in charge of a pirate prise erew, but we were too wide awake for them, recapturing the prize and spoiling their plans. The Abbie Brad ford, when we took her, had a large mail for New Orleans, containing letters for Secretary Mallory, Jeff. Davis, the editors of the New Orleans Picay une, and other noted rebels. Her crew, of five re bel pirates and this mail, were that same evening, per Powhatan, in all haste, sent to Flag Officer Mervin, at Fort Piekens. The Powhatan has doubtless gone in chase of the pirate, as the prison ers reported her at Porto Bello, out of and awaiting a supply of coal. “On the 13th the United States steamer Rhode Island arrived from Itcff York, with a supply of fresh meat, Ice.

The correspondence between Gov. Magoffin and President Lincoln, in which the Governor re quested, or rather “urged” the removat of tho United States troops front the limits of Kentucky, has been published, asnfso the Tepljrof the Presi dent, which was as follows: VTashixotov, D. C-, Aug. 2i. To his Excellency B. Magoffin, Governor of tho State of Kentucky: ! Sir : Your letter of the 19th inst., in which you “urge the removal from the limits of Kentucky of the military force now organized and in camp with in that State,” is received. I may Bet possess fall and precisely accurate knowledge upon this subject; but I believe it is true that there is a military force in camp within Kentucky, acting by authority of the United States, which force is not very large, and is not now being augmented. . I also believe that some arms have been furnished to this force by the United Slates. 1 also believe this force consists exclusively of Kentuckians, having their camp in the immediate Ticinity of their own homes, and not assailing or menacing any of the good people of Kentucky. Da all I have done in the premises, I have acted upon the urgent solicitation of many Kentuckians, and in accordance with what I believed, and stili believe, to be the wish of the majority of all the Union-loving people of Kentucky. While I have conversed on this subject with many eminent men of Kentucky, including a large majority of her members of Congress; 1 do not remember that Buy one of them, or any other person, except your Excellency and the bearers of year Excellency’s letter, has urged me to remove the military fore© from Kentucky, or to disband it. One other very worthy citizen of Kentucky did solicit me to have the augmenting of the force suspended for a time. Taking all the means within my reach to form a judgment, I do not believe it is the popular wish of Kentucky that this force shall be removed be yond her limits; and, with this impression, I must respectfully decline to so remove it. I most cordially sympathize with your Excel lency in the wish to preserve the peace of my own native State, Kentucky; but it is witb regret I search, and cannot find, in your not very short let ter, any declaration or intimation, that you enter tain any desire for the preservation of the Federal Union. Your obedient servant, A. Lincoih. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONEY MARKET. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6,1861. Reading Bailroad stock advanced to 18 at the First Board to-day, a gain of }.

There is great buoyancy on the Stook Exchange to-day, with an important itee in all the leading securities. The reported death of Jefferson Davis, and the strong position of the Government, are the immediate causes of the advance. Government stocks-attract increased attention, and the sis per cent, nates and bonds are again better. The numerous inquiries for the new [nan have a favorable effect upon the old issues, which arc at relatively low prices.
