HAIR RESTORATIVE. The only preparation THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF YEARS, AND GROWS MORE AND MORE POPULAR EVERT DAT, And testimonials, new, and almost without number, might be given, from ladies and gentlemen in all grades of society, whose united, testimony none could resist, that Wood’s Hair Restorative will restore the bold and gray, and preserve the hail* of the youth to old age, in all its youthful beauty! ‘ Battle Creek, Mich., Dec. 21, 1858. Prof. Wood: Tliee wilt please accept a line to in form thee that the hair on my head all fell off over twenty years ago, caused by R complicated chronic dis ease, attended with an eruption on the head. A con tinual course of Buffering through life having reduced Die to a state of I have not been able to obtain stuff for saps, neither have I been able to do them up, in consequence of which my head lias snffered extremely from cold. This induced me to pay Briggs & Hodges almost the last cent I had on earth for atwo dollar bottle of thy Hair Restorative about the first of August last. I have faithfully followed the directions, and the bald spot is now covered with hair, thick and black, though short, it is also coming in all over my head. Feeling confident that Another bottle would restoro it entirely and permanently, I feel anxious to persevere in its use, and being destitute ot means to pur chase any more, I would ask thee if thee wouldst not be willing to send me an order on thine agents for a bottle, and receive to thyself the Scripture declaration'—“ The reward is to those that are kind to the widow and the fatherless." TUr frieud, SUSANNAH KIRBY. XiiGONiEit, Noble Co., Indiana, Teb. 5,1859. Prof. O. J. Wood : Dear Sir: In the latter part of the year 1852, while attending the State and National Law School ot the State of New York, my hair, from a cause unknown to me, commenced falling off very rapidly, so that in the 6hort space of six months, the whole upper part of my scalp was almost entirely bereft of its cover ing, and much of the remaining portion upon the Side and back part of myhead shortly after became gray j so that you will not be surprised when I tell you that, upon my return to the State of Indiana, my more caanal ac quaintances were not so much at a loss to discover the cause of the change in my appearance, as my more inti mate acquaintances were to reeognlze me at all. I at once made application to tae most skilful physi cians in the country, but, receiving no assurance from them that my hair could again be restored, I was forced to become reconciled to my fate, until, fortunately, in the latter part of the year 1857, your Restorative was Tecommended to me by a druggist, as being the most reliable Hair Restorative in use. I tried one bottle, and found to my great satisfaction that it was producing the desired effect. Since that time I have used seven dol lars* worth of your Restorative, and as a result, have a rich coat of very Boft black hair, which no money can buy.

Hie lat ter, however, disclaimed any purpose of 1 oaring his party or forming new party affiliations. The speakers all uttered strong Union sen!saints, and declared themselves for their country ai all sacrifices. j The committee on resolutions being ready to re port, E. B. Moore, Esq., read the following, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, In the language of a late distinguished statesman, “the conspiracy to break up thdUnion is a fact now known to all. Armies arej being raised, and war levied to accomplish it. Thire can be but two sides to the controversy. Evety man must be on the side ol the United States or against it.

That we, as loyal citizens of Montgo mery county, without distinction of party, code to gether this day, firmly resolving that, in thisidurk hour of our country’s history, all past political fends; and differences shall be forgotten, and that, under every and all circumstances, shoulder to shoulder will we stand together, assisting, by every metpjjn ’ our power, the duly constituted representatives of the Government in the vigorous prosecution of the present war, in crushing ont rebellion, and punish ing traitors, wherever found, and that our united and only watchword during the struggto shall be, “ The Union and the Constitution, nqff RUdftteTer, vac and inseparable.

We have read, with much satisfaction, this brief and eloquent discourse. It gives, in well-chcsenlan guage, a just portraiture of one whose purity of lifo and Christian zeal had made him a shining light in this diocese, and whose rare modesty was hardly less remarkable than his merit. It strikes us that the reverend preacher has avoided the fault most common in such discourses, which, by over-oolor ing, distorts or obscures the features intended to represent the true image of the deceased. Here every lineament is neatly sketched, nothing is over charged, but all is clear, well defined, consistent, and drawn with a firm though friendly hand. Any one who bad the privilege of hearing the late bishop, in his own parish, will recognize the pro priety of the following passage: “Itwasjiis de light to share your joy and to divide your sorrow. A kinder and more faithful phstor you will never have: nor can yon ever hope to enjoy the Ministry of a sounder, more eloquent, and zoalous pteacher. The whole of his teaching was direoted to your truest and best interests. His sermons were strong and forcible expositions of Gospel truth, steeped in the love of Christ, couched in beautiful language, and striking in the direotness of their appeal. They riveted tho attention, informed the under, standing, and touched the hearts of his auditory. But the power and influence of his preaching lay in the knowledge of his parishioners, that he be lieved and practised what he taught, that his own pure and godly life was the living commentary of his sermohS. HiS singular guilelessness, his great self-denial, bis touching humility, his large-hearted charity, and his boundless benevolence, made bim a living epistle, known and read of ail who saw him.” [For Th© Press, j Colonel BaHier’s Regiment. This noble regiment having been aocepted by the Government, is now nearly full, and encamped at Camp Ballier, a Jittle above Girard College. Wo observe that a great many of the three-months men are returning in this regiment. Among them may he seen seme of those daring Germans who were the first to drive tho Secessionists out of Martinsburg, and then to march through the town to the tune of Hail Columbia, Ac.; and also among them is a large number of those brave Irish Manayunkers, who, while leading the “forlorn hope,” fired into a body of Secession cavalry, who fled, leaving some of their men on the Held, and also a large fat bullock, skinned and already for the coals. And should those “Seceßhers” again meet the terrible Irish and German compound of this regimen?, it will be a compound of iron and steel in their teeth. The oflicers of thi~ regiment are all men of military experience, and, as for tho Colonel, those who are acquainted with him know that he is a whole hearted Union man, a man of military tact, and a soldier, every inch of him. Doubtless, young men desirous of serving their country! will not he dis appointed in entering this regiment.

To us was entrusted this work of political salvation, demo orntic-repubHcnn liberty, served under constitu tional forms. By our fathers, to us, was it trans mitted. Into our own present has it been placed, to be transmitted to our posterity. A dem»cr»l!o republlcan liberty is the political gospel of our time. To us, of the United States of America, the people of this constitutional Federal Union, was it committed, this precious charge. If they who nave attempted to overthrow the national Constitution, which was their interest as well ns ours, to destroy their AtawiCiia liberty as well do ours, to overthrow the hopes of their pos terity ns welt as ours, to destroy civil society-, social life, in their own midst, shall find that their peculiar patriarchal institution, staggering, shnil fall beneath their own parricidal blow; [cheers;] whether they count it a misfortune.or not, it will be their own chickens coming home to their own roost—their own fault. If it shall follow, in the good providence of God, that other men beside those of my own peculiar complexion and blood shall taste the sweets of liberty, God be praised ! I am glad that this is not heresy in the eomnfereial metropolis. I suppose that al though we ought not, if peace had been presorved, either to invade, or counsel, or .procure the inva sion of any constitutional right reserved to any State; yet when a State and people trample the Constitution itself beneath their feet, endeavoring to Crush us and our children with it, wo may at least have the power, the privilege of praying for the happiness of them all, bond as well as free. I look, Mr. Chairman, with the assurance of confi dent faith for an early restoration of universal peace. I have no idea, not the slightest, that the next Fourth of July will find this people in arms. But If it must bo that we shall continuo to ponr out our money and our blood, to . spend our lives in waging by any form of contest this unholy war, let it come, let it abide, let it stay with us, let the sword be the constant emblem glittering before our eyes, let the flag advance and armed men tread beneath its folds.” The Railroad Catastrophe in Missouri. SEVENTEEN KILLED—MANV WOUNDED, The St. Louis R.cpyblican of Friday has the fol lowing additional particulars of the terrible disaster nn the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad : The catastrophe occurred at Little Platte river bridge, nine miles east of St. Joseph. The bridge was a substantial work of one hundred feet span, and about thirty-five feet above the river. The binders of the bridge had been burned under neath the track until they would sustain but little more than their own weight, and the fire was then extinguished, leaving the bridge, a mere shell. The train, bringing from eighty-five to one hundred passengers, including many women and children, leached the river at eleven o'clock at night, and the bridge looking secure, passed on; but no sooner hndthe locomotive measured its length upon the bridge than some forty or fifty yards of the struc ture gave way, precipitating the entire train into the abyss below. All the seats in the passenger coaches were torn, and shoved in front, carrying men, women, and children in a promiscuous heap down the declivity, and burying them beneath the crushed timber, or throwing them out of the cars through the broken sides. Some were mangled by the machinery tearing through the timbers; seve ral ware caught between plunks pressing together like a Tico; others were struck by parts of the roof as it came down with mighty force; still others were cut with pieces of glass, while wounds and blood and agony prevailed an over the frightful scene,'and shrieks of pain were mingled with the cries of terror. k In this manner the two last oars of the train went down, pitching the passengers into the wreck, or throwing them into the water. Only three persons, J. IV. Parker, superintendent of the United States Express, Mr. Mars, mail agent, and Mr. Hager, were able to afford assistance to the suffering, the remainder of those who were not killed outright being so disabled as to be helpless. After doing all that was possible for these repairing immediate attention, Mr. Hager at midnight loft the wreck to go to St. Joseph for medical and other assistance. He walked five miles of the way, when he found a hand-car upon which he proceeded the remainder of the journey. Two hundred yards west of the bridge he discovered a heavy oak rail road tic Strongly strapped across the track, end two miles farther on he found the trestle work over a small stream on fire, which, however, had not -a3 yet been so badly bunted that trains conld not pass over.or could not be easily extinguished. Arriving at St. Joseph the alarm was soon spread throughout the city, and although it was 1 o’clock at night, seventy-five men, including all the physi- CiAns in the neighborhood, volunteered their ser vices, and at half.past 3 o’clock a train folly equip pedt, supplied with medical stores and other neces saries, was at the scene of thedisaster. The wounded had emerged, from the wreck, and were lying on the banks and upon a sand bar in the river. Seventeen dead bodies were recovered, and it is believed that this, number embraced all who were killed up to tbflt tUSO, Two were so badly mangled that it was not ex pected they woald survive, till .morning, while many others, were dangerously wounded, and would have tb be'well taken care of to'recover. Many who will escape , with their lives will be <maimed and. crippled. \ Fifteen ndtes east of tho Flatic riTer, Mr. Hager ftittd'BMilftt kriigt tws Smith's branolz almost entirely been fited-after the-train papsed wes}, thus preventing assistance being sent from'the east.

Lyon Mackenzie The Albany Evening Journal contains some Interest ing reminiscences of Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, written by Mr. 'Weed. A few days before his death Mr. Mackenzie wrote a curious letter, to which Mr. Weed refers as follows : “ He spoke of his undying hatred of the British Government. This ‘ ruling passion’ WftS ‘ strong in death.* His last days and nours were given to a long, able, labored letter, bearing the dates of 18th, 20th and 24th of August, 1861, fortified and en forced by extracts from Canadian and English journals, parliamentary speeches and reports, all designed to prove that England intends and is pre paring to take advantage of this rebellion to avenge that of 1776, and other smouldering griefs. His are various, strong, and startling, This let ter, extending over a dozen sheets, would have taxed the energies, mental and physical, of a well man. It is in his own hand, and was completed only four days before his death. Much of it is only for our eye, and for the information of those to whom he supposed it would be shown. After presenting his argument and evidence, he says: '* Is there not some one in the Republic who can exhibit, in a half column, the grasping piracy which has sacrificed half of God’s white creatures to that calico and. toy-trading isle, which claims the prostration of all competitors—which virtually says to the United States, your manufactures, your shipping, your progress must cease, because it in terferes with our divine right of domination oyer the kingdoms of the earth?” A Challenge and a Reply. September 2d, 1861. George D. Prentice —Sir: I am informed bv my friend, Mr. Thomas, that you, in reply to his inquiry mode at my instance, avowed yourself the writer of an editorial in the Journal ot the 234 Angnst, and also one of a previous date, both de nunciatory of myself. Those articles are false and slanderous, and were written without the least provocation on my part, or the slightest justifies tion or excuse upon yours. I demand redress, and ask that you will appoint some time, and place out side of Jefferson county, when and where it wiirhe given. This note will be banded to you by my friend Mr. George Thomas, who, as such, is author ized to act for me. Respectfully, Roger W. Hanson. George D. Prentice. Roger W. Hanson —Sir: Tours of the 2d inst. is received. You sought “redress” for the very articles yeu complain of by publishing a scurrilous pamphlet, and if you “ demand” any more “ re dress,” you may get it in the same way or in any other way you can. I shall not appoint a “ time and place” for meeting you, for I would not go two steps to meet or avoid you. As for killing you, I think that I have done that effectually already, and I don't core to waste powder and lead upon a carcass. They can be put to better use in these rebellious times. Respectfully, Geo. D. Prentice. Important from Mexico.—The correspond ent of the Hew Orleans Crescent, writing from Matanwros, August sth, says: The most important news I have to communicate to-day is the quasi declaration of war against the Southern Confederacy by the republic of Mexico. It is directly notified to us, through the State paper at Guanajuato, (hat Mr. Corwin Gas asked, and re ceived, from the Mexican Government the privilege of passing troops ttoougb Mssied fs? tim suhiuem. tion of the South. That is the language of the Guanajuato paper, and you o&n determine the mean ing of it as well as I can myself. Old Abe hasfull permission to march troops through Mexico to at tack Texas. It is considered doubtful with the Mexican authorities and the people generally that the above paragraph is correct; but I must con fess that I place every reliance in its truth. The permission thus obtained, of marching troops through Mexico to our attack, was a part of Gen. Scott’s programme; it was a part of Mr. dor win’s mission; it was a great diplomatic move ment. It is not hard to believe that the Tulers at the city of Mexico, who hate your people as they do the devil, should take tkis step, which is actually a quasi declaration of war against you. They at ease declare theirsywpathy ana co-opera tion with the North against the South; and, while the permission which Mexico has granted is alto gether worthless, for no Federal forces will ever maroh through this country, it has the moral and political effeot of placing the Confederate States in a position of hostility with Mexico, unless the South has lost her self-respect. Shocking Accident. —Charles Groesbeck, residing in Valparaiso, Indiana, with a party of young men, was amusing himself firing an old can non, about two weeks since. -Hot having any swab, he put his mouth over the fuse,' to blow out the fire, at the very moment when another of the party rammed in a cartridge, which exploded, and dis charged through the fuse, throwing toe whole charge into Mr. G.’s throat, nostrils, and lungs. He lingered five days, in the most dreadful agony, being unable to eat anything, or even swallow a drop of water.

Louisville, Sept. 3,1861. SOUTHERN NEWS. KENTUCKV NEUTRALITY —CORRESPONDENCE BE . TWEEN JEFF. DAVIS AND GOV. MAGOFFIN. The correspondence between Gov. Magoffin, of Kentucky, ami President Lincoln, relative to the preservation of the State’s neutrality, has been al rooriy ptihliriiH, The following is tho reply of Jciiul-.un iLtto «t -iii.il.tr coiniuuuiuaiiou trow the redoubtable Beriah: Richmond, August 28. 1861. To the Ron. B. Magoffin, Governor of ICentnchy, bfC. Sir ; I hare received your letter informing me that “Since the commencement of the unhappy difficulties yet pending ia the country, the people of Kentucky have indicated a steadfast desire and purpose to maintain n position of strict neutrality between the belligerent parties.” In the same communication you express vour desire to elicit “nn authoritative assurance that the Government of the Confederate States will continue to respect and observe the neutral position of Kentucky.’’ In reply to this request, I lose no time in nssuring you that the Government of the Confederate States of America neither intends nor desires to disturb the neutrality of Kentucky. The assemblage of troops in Tennessee, to which you refer, had no other object than to repel the lawless invasion of that State by the forneg of the United State#, should their Government seek to approach it through Ken tucky without respect for its position of neutrality. That such apprehensions were not groundless has been proved by the course of that Government in the States of Maryland nnd Missouri, and more re cently in Kentucky itself, in which, as you inform me, “ a military force has been enlisted and quar tered by the United States authorities. The Government of the Confederate States has not only respected most scrupulously the neutrali ty of Kentucky, but has continued to maintain the friendly relations of trade and intercourse which it has suspended with the people of the United States generally. In view of the history of the pasi, it can scarcely be necessary to assure your Excellency that the Government of the Confederate States will Continue to respect the neutrality of Kentucky so long as her people will maintain it themselves. But neutrality, to be entitled to respect, must be strictly maintained between both parties; or if the door be opened on the one side for the aggressions of one of the belligerent parties upon the other, it ought not to be shut to the assailed when they seek to enter it for purposes of self-defence. I do not, however, for a moment believe that your gallant State will suffer its soil to be used for the purpose of giving an advantage to those who violate its neutrality and disregard its rights over others who respect them both. In conclusion, I Under to your Excellency tho assurance of my high consideration and regard. And am, sir, very respectfully, yours, Ac., Jeff’n Davis. FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA. Wayne Court House is the county town of Wayne county, lying on the Kentucky line, and had been a nest for the Secessionists for some time back. On Saturday the 25th nit., Captain Smith, with 53 U. S. troops took possession of the place. Eight Secessionists were taken prisoners, includinga Rev. John C. Johnson. Capt. Smith sent for reinforcements on Sunday. Major Onnstead, with Captain McFadden’s compa ny, and a part of Capt. Kirk’s, with a portion of the cavalry, numbering iu all 5S men, went up as a reinforcement, arriving on Monday. Scouts were then sent out, and encountered the rebels about a mile from the Court House. Our cavalry heard the firing, and went to their assistance. When the rebels saw the cavalry they made a quick retreat. In the skirmish winch took place our troops re ceived no injury, four rebels are supposed to he Killed; wounded not Known. On Tuesday morning the rebels renewed the at tack, and kept it up until 5 o’clock in the evening, when they endeavored to retake the town. Our men. however, returned their fire so thick and fast that they were repulsed. In their retreat they en countered Lieut. Col. Calvin, who was advancing with supplies from Camp Pirn-point, and were again repulsed. YANKEE INVASION The Pierce county, (Ga.) correspondent of the Savannah News appears to be of a genial tempera ment. He says: “As the prospects seem pretty bright for one of Abraham’s < Grand Armieg’ to land on our coast the first white frost, your correspondent is pre paring to have some fun. lam raising and train ing dogs to run the devils down with when we get them on a stampede (Manassas fashion) through the Okefenokee Swamp. That they can outrun the fleetest of our wild beasts, has been sufficiently proven,' but if they con get away from the hennas that will be ready for them, through this country, they must run faster and longer than our foxes and deer. “ It would he advisable for Mr. Lincoln to select his men that are to attack onr coast.

That style ef Yankee that- we can hold up before our eyes to look through at the sun’s eclipse, and count every grain of rice he eats for his dinner.” ■THE 4EOBGIA TROOPS. The Richmond correspondent of the Savannah Republican writes the following: “Gen. Toombs has not vet earn to Manassas, Owing to the difficulty in sending forward the regl meiits that will compose his brigade. - “ Gen. Toombs’ staff has been organized, as fol lows : Aid-de-Camp, Capt. TV.' Dußoise; Brigade Commissary, Maj. R. J. Moses; Brigade Quarter master, Major IV. F. Alexander; Adjutant, Capt. ——. Hill. He has accepted [tie services also of one or more volunteer aids. “It is thought that the Seventh and Eighth Georgia regiments, and Colonels Goulding’s and Anderson’s regiments will be placed under Gen. Walker, though this is not certain. ” MORTALITY AT MANASSAS. The correspondent of. the Charleston Courier writes ffom Manassas as Mows; . “ Disease is by long odds too common and too fata] in onr camps. Thus fax, as I have in other letters remarked, the health of our regiment has been extraordinarily good. Rat as much cannot be said for any other in the service. A painful degree of mortality has prevailed, especially among the troops from North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. On Sunday I visited the ‘ Junc tion ’ to procure a coffin, and found thirteen orders ahead of me.” TUB MAYOR OF MEMPHIS ATTEMPTS A PROCLA- The Argus, of the 24th ult., publishes the follow ing proclamation from the mayor: To the Citizens of Memphis: Applications have repeatedly been made to me, as executive officer of the city, for protection against indiscreet parties, who are sent out to impress citizens into service against their will on steamboats. Many of these men have been dragged from their beds, wives, and children, but never has there been a man taken who had on a clean shirt. I hereby notify any citizen who may wish a pass, within the city of Memphis, to oall on me, and I will furnish the same, and wtii see he will be protected.

The Memphis Appeal publishes the following ex tract from a St. Louis letter, prefacing it with an expression of incredulity: “ General Fremont is moving heaven and earth. Troops are pouring into the city from all directions, and the calculation is that there will be from fifty to one hundred thousand, troops here in ten days. Fremont has had fifty heavy gnus sent here from Pittsburg, at a coat of five hundred dollars quQh for transportation, and is doing all things on the same scale.” WAR NEWS. REBEL MUTINY ON A PASSENGER SHIP. From the New York Commercial Advertiser of the 7th inst-, we take the following strange narra tive : The ship Resolute, Capt. Thomas F. Freeman, arrived this morning from Liverpool, with the whole crew in a state of mutiny. The crew of the Resolute left New Orleans some months ago to avoid being drafted in that city. They came to Liverpool la a Southern ship and then left her. When their means were exhausted they shipped on board the Resolute, with the determi nation, it is alleged, of either capturing the ship themselves, or in the event of falling in with a pri vateer to take such measures as would result in the ship failing into the hands of the pirates- They kept their plans secret until they well at sea, and then began to openly avow their sym pathy with Secession. Every day their conduct become more and more threatening, until at last they made their boasts that they would take the ship when they thought proper. Captain Freeman became alarmed for the safety of his vessel and made preparations to resist them should they at tempt t* wie tke skip. The fUmtfHltM i»- fonned of the condition of affairs, and to a man resolved to stand by the captain and officers of the ship. The Resolute came into the lower hay last night, anchored, and came up from her anchorage this morning with colors half-mast and union down. Shorfly after her anchor was let go Sergeant Hol land, of the Harbor police, boarded her, and found the entire crew turned into their berths, refusing even to furl the sails, lie immediately obtained the facts from the captain, as above stated, and then ordered the would be-pirates to get up and dress themselves as quickly as possible, and prepare to go on shore. The fellows seemed quite subdued when they found that they were in the hands of the authori ties, but complied with the orders. Most of them are young men, but they bear the impress of crime and debauchery upon their countej nances. ' They were then ironed and conveyod to the United States Marshal’s office, to be examined be fore a United States commissioner. DAN MCE ON THE WAR The Girard (Pa.) Union issues an extra with a full account of a Union mass meeting held in that place. Among the speakers was Dan Rico, the famous showman, who said, ajnong other equally good things: “I am not a Republican, aor ami a Democrat, though it iB well known to most of you, perhaps, that I am a disciple of the principles and docrincs enunciated by Mr. Douglas, and now being faithfully carried out by Mr. Lincoln and his Administration. But when I saw that a small party of politicians, who have managed to control the Administration of this Government for over thirty years, were on the eve of destroying one of the noblest fabrics ever constructed by the genius of man, and fast merging our peaceful country into the horrors of civil war, I thought it my duty as a Qitisea of thifi Co»BK)uweaUkte uec nit my «»*«»• TWO CENTS. vors to defend the national flag, and tender my ger* vices and means for the purpose of putting down this great rebellion. The question with which WO have now to deal is not that of Abolitionism ; not that of Kepublicaniem, nor of Democracy; but that of actual war—bloody civil war GENERAL BUTLER’S ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OP LOWKLT. At the public meeting, called at Lowell, Thurs day evening, to welcome back home Gen. Butler, that distinguished gentleman, after remarking that the people of his native town had been foremost to respond to the call of duty and of loyalty, con tinued ; Vpu say well, sir, there are no parties. Wjs.huve a country torn at the present hour by intestine war, and until that country is put in peace, in quiet, there must be no party, and no thought of party. No compromise, [applause.] no yielding, nothing but the strong arm, until the glorious flag of the Union floats over every inch of territory which be longs to the United States of America. [Loud cheers and applnuse.] For one, I trust that there may be no attempt at peace, and after remaining a few days here, I am ready to return to my duty, and never return to Lowell until the last time, or until the work is accomplished. We must have peace, but a peace in which the power of the Government is acknow ledged ; It must be a peace which secures (t)C con stitutional rights of all men under the Federal Government, and no other government. [Loud applause.] With my fellow-soldiers, whom X have left for the hour, there is no other feeling, and we have heard with pain and regret that there was any other feeling cherished even by a few. Why, sir, let us make a peace for the hour, and it would not be sixty days before we would be involved in war again, if the result of that peace was the separation of this Union into two confederacies. We must have the whole of this country under one govern ment, or else no government at all. [Applause.] There is no middle ground. We must pour out blood and treasure—the first liko water, the last like sand—until that is accomplished. If you have no country, what have you left? Nothing! We should be base to give up the rich inheritance be queathed to us by our fathers, and leave to our children only a broken and ruined country. ALL WILL BF. BIGHT IN KESTVCKV. The following letter from a Union member of the Legislature of Kentucky is taken from the Cincin nati Times “Fhakk;p9Rt,§sj!(, 3, 11 Mu. TTm. B. Sinra— Otar Sir: Kentucky is, in my opinion; safe. She will pay the war tax, and will probably raise the money and pay it at once, inasmuch as the Government needs money. I thought I was a good Union man until I came up here, but I find lam not strong enough. I think they will not complain by the time they get through with me. I have made up my mind that my con stituents are tired of indecision and uncertainty, and shall act accordingly. Tell the U. C.’s to stand firm, and all will be right yet. ‘ There's a good time coming.’ “ Tours, Ac. More anon. “Geo, P. WEBSTEit ’’ GENERAL NEWS. Yale College Class of 1861.—Ex-Gov. Baldwin, of Connecticut, of this class, inviting the survivors to dine with him at New Haven on the fiftieth anniversary of their graduation. Of the forty-nine original members of the class, twenty* four are still living, and sixteen of them were pre sent. The eldest of the twenty-four is Joseph Emerson Worcester, the lexicographer, now in the seventy-eighth year of his age, and the youngest is Sidney E. Morse, now in his sixty-eighth year. The ages of the twenty-four averaged about seventy two years. Of the forty-nine no less than five have been members of Congress, fire others were judges in different courts, eleven were ordained ministers of the Gospel, and four were authors of school geo graphies. Of the sixteen present only one was unmarried, and the remaining fifteen reported eighty-nine children, and a proportionate number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Three of the veterans had an aggregate of cighty-ono great-grandchildren. A Clergyman, while walking the deck of a steamer at St. John, N. 8., where Secessionism has considerable footing, noticing the American flag flying from the masthead of a ship, tauntingly said to Col. Favor, “ Why don’t yon take a slice off that flag, since von have lost a portion of your oountry?” ImM-lifie, the Colonel quickly re* piled: “Why don’t yon tear a leaf from your Bible because a part of your church have fallen from grace?” The clergyman had no more to say on that subject. Materials for upwards of 3,000,000 rations for the army of the Potomac axe now stored in the receiving depots at Washington. There are 18,000 barrels of flour, 9,000 barrels of beef, 3,000 barrels of pork, 500,000 pounds of coffee, 500,000 of sugar, and 1,600,000 pounds of bread, with hominy, crackers, vinegar, candles, soap, and salt in propor tion.

Since his re cent return from the capital one of his neighbors called upon him, and the servant who ushered him in requested, him to “ take a seat, and she would speak to Mr. Hamlin.” Soon after Mr. H. came up. out of his cellar, and excused himself from shaking bauds, remarking, at Hie same time, that his hnnde were dirty, for he had been picking over his potatoes* Two Young Ladies Drowned A melan choly accident occurred in Bradford county, re cently. Two daughters of Mr. A. L. "Wilson, re spectively aged eleven and thirteen years, pro ceeded to bathe in Grand river, while their mother was visitiDg.

Horrible Affair. —We learn from the Stamford (Conn.) Advocate that a chambermaid of the steamboat Ella, named Mary Conkley, was burned to death on the 31st ultimo, while filling a lighted fluid lamp In her frantic agony, she seized the cook, named Emma Willot, around the waist, and the latter was so horribly burned that she died within an hoar. Man and Wife Burnt to Death. —The Exeter (N. H.) News Letter says that on Satur day morning last, the house occupied by John Marsh, on the Upping road, about two miles from the village, was destroyed by fire. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh were both burnt to death. Circumstances indicate foul play, and suspicion rests upon James M. Bowley, brother of Mrs. Marsh. The Rio Janeiro Consulate. —Me. Parsons, the successor of Bobert J. Scott, late consul at Rio Janeiro, writes that he finds the consulate swept of everything ef value. Scott even took eight hun dred dollars of funds for the relief of seamen, stating that he would account for it on reaching Washington. Hon. Josiica R. Giddings writes a column letter to Hon. J. W. Vance, favoring general eman cipation, and denouncing a coalition of the Demo cratic and Republican parties as « an attempt to change front in face of the enemy—an acknowledg ment that we have been wrong.” Gen. McClellan, with the true eye of a soldier, when he rode through the camp of Gen. Bleaker and saw the admirable discipline to which his men had been brought, said, with unfeigned de light, « When I am among you Germans, I always feel as if I had got among soldiers.” The Chablestown Navy Yard.—There are two thousand one hundred men now in constant employment at this yard. All the cordage used in the navv-yards at Portsmouth, Charlestown, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington is made here. A Patriotic Swede.—Baron E.

The Charleston Mercury says that Isaac V- Fowler, tho defaulting New Yorkpostmaster, is pleasantly located at the city of Tepic, Mexico, about fifty miles from the Pacific, and employed as tho chief agent of Messrs. Barron, Forbes, & Co., the wealthy bankers and manufacturers. Major Peck, late of the United States Army, has received a brigadier general’s commis sion, and has joined General McClellan’s division. He graduated at West Point, and highly distin guished himself in the Mexican war. Ex-Governor Briggs was not so seriously injured as was feared, He is in a comfortable posi tion, and it is not thought his life ia in danger. The charge of shot passed through one side of his neck, below the lower jaw. Western Crops The Chicago Post, of the 3d inst., says the crops are more promising, and fall prospects are generally encouraging. Country merchants are nearly out of goods, and a lively trade is expected with them. The portrait of ex-Prosident Tyler, which has heretofore been in plain sight in the Department of the Assistant Secretary of State, was taken down on Friday and transferred to the rubbish room in the garret. Tom Thumb Dead.—The Paris papers re cord the death of Gen. Tom Thumb as having oc curred, in circumstances of great indigence, at one of the hospitals of that city. This is not the cele brated American Tom Thumb.

Mb. Anthony Trollope, , tho popular En glish novelist, arrived with his lady m tho last Steamer, and is at the Tremont House, Boston.

The speculative market is firmer, but ft.s investment m.-cui'Uic.- dull. The niui eluent ol aci oral moneyed corporations and of private holders to change their investments in State and City loans into tho new National loan tends to overload the market with those securities and depress prices. The improved feeling in business circles is confined, in its effects at the stock board, to speculative stocks and bonds, which are strong and tending to better prices.
