DOUGLAS.—** The conspiracy So break up the Union is a loci now known to nil* Armies are being raised, and war levied So accomplish it. There can be but two sides U the controversy. Every man must be on the aide- of the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war.

FoRSET, tIT Chestnut street, Philadelphia' Surrender of Colonel Mulligan. Although .1 despatch received from St. Louis at a late hour last night stated that, on Saturday evening, the stars and stripes were still flyiDg over Colonel Mulligan's entrench ments, yet later and apparently authentic news, from another quarter, brings us the sad intelligence that, after one of the most heroic defences recorded in history, he was com pelled, on Friday evening, to surrender to General Piuce. His men were completely ex hausted, and suffered much for want of water. Looking in vain, through five long days, for the expected reinforcements, they were at. last obliged to succumb by the overwhelmingly superior force of the enemy. The War in Kentucky. It is evident that the period has arrived when die soil of Kentucky, like that of the Border States of Virginia and Missouri, is to be made the theatre of many bloody contests. The threat of the Memphis Appeal, that the South would never permit her to unite herself with the Northern States, is the key-note of the policy which the traitors arc seeking to enforce, and from present indications the im pending struggle will prove a desperate and fierce one. All ideas of the maintenance of a neutral position have been abandoned, and a war to the knife has been commenced which is to decide whether the Union or the Dis union army shall gain control of the State. We publish this morning the proclamation of General Anderson calling upon all patriots to Tally around the Union flag, and of General Buckner invoking all truitors to Hock to his .standard. The latter officer, it will he remem bered, was, for a considerable period, in com mand of the State troops, who were, chiefly, recruited from among the Secessionists, and the prophecies of Prentice, declaring that Buckner would eventually be found battling in the Confederate army, have been strictly fulfilled. At Louisville an intense feeling has been aroused. ’ That is the point against which the hostile operations of the traitors are chiefly directed. It is supposed to be their design to capture and destroy it. They are animated not only by their wish to plunder it, but by their intense hatred of the sterling loyalty of its leading citizens and principal journals. We ore glad to notice, however, on the other hand, the patriotic spirit that animates the Union men of the State. Fully conscious of fhe existing dangers, they are making a united and herculean eflort to avert them ; and we sincerely hope that, with the aid of the troops from Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, who willno doubt speedily rush to their relief, the schemes of the Secessionists may be baffled, and their invading hosts driven back. Hence forth, in Kentucky, as in all other quarters of our Union, the contest wlU.be narrowed down to a strife between two parties—patriots and traitors—and in the bloody war between them, may God defend the right!. Pennsylvania and the War. The reputation for valor and efficiency of our glorious State in the present struggle will probably be materially lessened by the fact that a very large number of her sons who have gone to the war have joined regiments which nominally belong to other States. They have already done much to fill the ranks of the California Brigade of Gen. Baker, a Dela ware regiment, some New Jersey regiments, the “ Kentucky” Cavalry, and several of the New York regiments. It is important that operations of tills sort should be suspended, both on account of the men, who thus lose the benefit of the provisions of oiir Legislature for the soldiers of the State, and of the relief funds of our city and other localities, and be cause our Commonwealth is robbed of the glory to which the bravery of her sons entitles her, and Is placed in a false position before her sister States and the world. A despatch from Harrisburg shows that the attention of our State authorities will hereafter be carefully directed to this matter, and the whole subject wiH be incidentally brought before one of our courts to-day. It appears that some New York recruiting officers have lately been enlisting men in this cit3', offering bounties, and pledging them certificates upon the relief committees of New York and Philadelphia, both of which are worthless. They have recently resorted to another method—viz: recruiting men under pretence of placing them in Pennsylvania regiments, and afterward forcing them to go to New York. In this way several companies have been transferred to New York, and virtu ally sold to New York colonels at so much per head. The legality of thus forcing men out of the State, against their will, will be tested this morning, before Judge Oswald Thompson. The cases involved are those of Wsl. Csorr and Jos. Jack, of the Lincoln Cavalry, whom a captain, as they allege, en deavored to force. to New York. Their friends have procured writs of habeas corpus, returnable at 10 o’clock this forenoon. A French Correspondent on the War. A third letter on American affairs has ap peared in the Opinione Rationale of Paris, which was probably written by a member of the suite of Prince Napoleon, ana may, to some extent, reflect his views. It is made up chiefly of descriptions of the leading of ficers, and of the appearance, of the armies in and near Washington. General Scott is re ferred to as one who “has the air of a man whose career is ended.” General McClellan is said to closely resemble “a French officer of engineers or artillery,” and General MoDow lll, we are told,looks very much «like a chief of battalion of foot Chasseurs.” Of Beaure gard, the writer says that “face, physi ognomy, tongue, accent, everything about him is French,” and that he is “ a man of un common ardor, a ceaseless activity, and in domitable power of will.” In comparing the Northern and Southern armies, the former is spoken of as composed of volunteers whose “ military bearing is very indifferent” and whose equipments are not as complete as they should be. Of the latter, the writer pointedly says that “ the question of uniform, not fully solved in the North, is tot thought of at all in the South.” The following general opinions aro expressed: “ It is incontestable that there is much more pas sion and ardor among the officers of the Southern than among those of the Northern army. It is in sisted in the Secession camp that this ardor, this disinterested devotion to tne common cause, are shared by the soldiers; that in the South they serve through honor and conviction; that among the Federals the soldier knows no other allurement than pay, no other impulse than that of want—the best recruiting officer among the populations of the large cities. “ Certainly it is going too far to generalize a fact which may be true to some extent. Individual bravery is incontestably superior in the Con federate ramp; but the'Unian army males'up for this disadvantage by a more advanced mili tary orcraniaa.ti.on and knowledge , at least among the soldiers ; so that matters being almost equally balanced, it is difficult enough to foresee towards which side the fortune of war will incline. “ It is true tho victory of Bull Kun is of a nature to excite to the highest pitch the confidence and enthusiasm of the Southern men; but I find it im possible to Eee in the result of that battle one of those solemn judgments, without appeal, which condemn one side to bow the head beneath the irresistible ascendency of the victor. These men, after alt, are nearly of the same race, or the same mixed races, and despite the divergence of opinions, they have a common fund of ideas, manners, and feelings, which does not permit a line to be drawn through the thirtieth degree of latitude, and to have it said : All that is north of this line is inferior to all that is couth of it. , < ‘ To estimate the event of July 21; we must leave a wide margin for the local incidents, thechance and unexpected encounters on the field.' of. battle, the unforeseen events which take bold ef the imagina tions of the mosses—all secondary causes which operate on the war’ by bo muoh the more as the armies hare less experience, discipline, or know ledge.” ■■ We learn from Washington that there i» no probability of the removal of General Fre mont., and that “he is as high in the confi dence of the Administration as he was at the time of his appointment.” LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.” Washington, September 21, 1801 I have repeatedly spoken of the Secession treason as an aristocracy. As the straggle ad vances mid expands the justice ofthc application of this term to the rebellion becomes more and more apparent. Whether we go back to in vestigate the causes which have produced our present troubles, or forward to anticipate the consequences, we cannot deny to ourselves that those who have precipitated this rebellion and those who are stimulating it, are filled w ith incurable hate and contempt of every thing like democratic men and democratic in stitutions. Leaving out of view the abstract question of slavery, and what is to be the end of slavery,-it is certain that the leaders of the present rebellion became intolerant and de spotic, chiefly because they themselves have subsisted upon the industry of others, without contributing, in the slightest degree, to the prosperity which they have enjoyed. When ever men are not forced to labor in some avocation of life, they irresistibly become aris tocrats, and insensibly imbibe scorn of all who do labor. This is a truth as old ns civilization itself. As the Euro pean demand for cotton increased, almost pari passu with the astonishing supply from the fertile cotton fields of the South, the re sources of the owners of these cotton fields were augmented, and their opinions of their influence and importance greatly enlarged. They could not, therefore, believe, after having wielded so much power, and after controlling several bygone Administrations of the Federal Government, that any stop they might take would be resisted. Hence it was that they drove Mr. Buchanan into all the follies and infamies that made his Adminis tration alike ridiculous and degraded, and licncc, too, their persistent assaults upon Dou glas, their mob-nomination of Breckinridge, tlicir insolent demands for the protection of slavery in the Territories, in violation of the public will, tlieir threats to treat the election of Mr. Lincoln as if it had never taken place, their robbery of the public funds and the public property, and their insane inauguration of the present war. Whoever has met personally any of the leaders of the present rebellion will perceive that a picture of one is almost a picture of all. Hospitable, and in the main generous of their money, they have grown into such a notion of their own importance and power, and such an invincible contempt for all who are not willing to submit to them, that, even in moments of friendly intercourse, they cannot conceal their instincts and their feelings. One of the best of this set, Senator Hammond of South Caro lina, spoke of the laboring classes of the free States as the « mud-sills,” meaning, undoubt edly, thereby “ mud-sills” for the use of the aristocracy of which.be was the organ. When these “mud-sills,” therefore, resisted the aggressions and usurpations, the repudiations, and other rascalities of these self-constituted masters of the country, the leaders were per haps more surprised than indignant. But, as the current of events glides on, they are being not only surprised but disenchanted. They find that, in attempting to take possession of tho Government of the United States, after having lost a four-years’ administration, in a fair j election, they have forfeited not only a powev j ful position on this continent, but they have un j doubtedly forfeited their commanding relations ! to the commerce and manufactures of Great ' Britain. In otter words, in assuming to assert ! a claim to govern the United States, after a | defeat at an election (brought about by their i own insanity), they have deprived themselves J of that national protection in the United States i by which slavery and the cotton trade have ! grown into an overshadowing monopoly, and ; they have tanglit, by the inexorable eloquence j of necessity, that lesson to the British Go : vernment which will compel it henceforward to do without the cotton of the Southern and seceded States, and to open markets else where. This might he called a practical comment upon the aristocracy built up in the seceded States upon the institution of slavery. In at tempting to control everything, they lose all. In assuming to manage the Federal Govern ment, in spite of the ballot-box, they not only become the victims of their own home factions, but force their great customers in the Old World to do without their boasted staple. Such is the punishment of the delusion grow ing out of the sudden acquisition of riches, in producing which they played so inferior a part. But the slave aristocracy proves its title to the name of aristocracy, not only, by what it has done, but by what it is doing. It will not see or be instructed by Indications on the part of the Government of the United States and the Government of Great Britain, hut, believing itself to he invincible, it still proceeds upon the theory thatthepeopleofthe free States are “mud-sills” and inferiors. Therefore,this aristocracy pushes on the war, crushes out individual opinion, persecutes its best men, compels thousands to enter the ranks of its army, and re-enacts the worst examples of Austrian tyranny. Have I not weU said that the Secession treason is an aristocracy of the most offensive character ? Occasional. The Naval Expeditions. It is evident, from the intelligence which has been published in regard to the movements of a portion of our navy, that one or more ex l peditions have been fitted out against the Southern coast. Their exact destination is very wisely concealed, and every good citizen should feel that he can well afford to wait for a full history of their operations until it can be furnished in the shape of news of a brilliant victory, if by that means the information is sufficiently well concealed, and the enemy de prived of a knowledge of the manner in which they are to he attacked. It is an old maxim, that “to be forewarned is to be forearmed,” and no people have ever shown a greater anxiety to avail themselves of advantages of this sort than the Southern traitors. When we, by inadvertence or folly, trumpet forth our plans and anticipations, we virtually dou ble the power of our toes to thwart and resist ti-em. The National Fast Day. The manner in which the National Fast Day, on Thursday next, should be observed was referred to in a number of the pulpits of the city yesterday. In the Episcopal Churches wc understand that a collection will be taken up to build a church near the scene of the sudden death of their late venerated Bishop, Mr. Bowman. Mr. Wadsworth, of the Pres byterian Church, strongly enforced the idea that the day should literally be made one of fasting—not feasting—of sincere humiliation and devout prayer. Public Amusements. There is little to say about theatrical matters. This week “ Great Expectations ” will be played at Walnut-street Theatre, and “ The Tempest ” at the Continental. This evening a new play, called “Jeannette, or, Lo Cretindela Montagne,” will be produced, with a fine cast, at Mrs. John Drew’s Arch-street Theatre—being its first per formance in America.

Special Despatches to “ The Press.” Washington, September 22. Secretary Seward on Russell. Department of State, Washington, Sept. 21, 1861. —Many intelligent and patrietie citizens have applied to me by memorial, asking the attention of the Government to what they represent as trea sonable matter contained in a -letter bearing the date of Washington, Aug. 10, published in the London Times, and they express their conviction that the statements made in that communication aro untrue, and it is the design of the writer to bring the credit and fame of this Government in disrepute in foreign countries. It has been a habit of the Government of the United States to take no notice of the representa tions, however obnoxious, made by the press of foreign nations, or even injurious utterances made by ministers or other agents of foreign Powers ia the ordinary transaction of their own affairs. The Government, on the contrary, has hitherto recog nized as worthy of its observation only the lan guage and the action of the executive organs of fo reign States. For myself, I confess Ihavenotread the publication complained of, and am quite snre it has net arrested the attention of any other member of the Administration, engrossed, as we all of necessity are, with public duties and cares. However er roneous the facts or the inferences of the writer may be, they nevertheless stand on his own indi vidual authority, while the whole patriotic press of our own country is free, and is interested to refute them. The Government of the United States depends not upon the favor or good-will of foreign writers or papers, or even of foreign nations, but upon the just support of the American people. Its credit and its fame seem to me now, more than ever hereto fore. safe in their keeping. If it be assumed that the obnoxious paper may do harm, is it not a sufficient reply that probably not fifty copies of the London Times ever find their way to our shores ? If it be said again that the obnoxious communication has been widely published in the United States, it seems to me a sufficient rejoinder that the censure of a magnani mous Government in that case ought to fall on those of its own citizens who have reproduced the libel, rather than on the foreigner, who wrote it exclusively for remote publication. Finally, interference with the press, even in the case of an existing insurrection, can bo justified only on the ground of public danger. Ido net see any such danger' in the present case, even if one foreigner does pervert our hospitality to shelter himself in writing an injurious publication against us for a foreign press. A hundred other foreign ers, as intelligent and as virtuons and as respecta ble as he is, are daily enrolling themselves in the army of the United States, to defend and maintain that Union, as the'chief hope of humanity in all countries and for all ages. Could there be a better illustration of that great fundamental truth of, our system, that error of anininn moy cafely be tolerated when reason is left free to combat it ? William H. Seward. Seizure of Contraband Property. The following circular has been issued by the Se cretary of State: Department op State, Sept. 21,1861. Sir : In order to prevent seizures of property belonging, to tee citizens of insurrectionary States not warranted by tee acts of Congress relating to that subject, it is thought advisable to direct the special attention of tee marshals and distriot at torneys of the United States to the pror sions of these acts: The fifth section ef the act of July 13th provides that all goods and chattels, wares and merchan dise, coming from or proceeding to a State or a place declared to be in insurrection, together with the vessel or vehicle conveying the same, or con veying persons to or from such State or place, shall be forfeited to the United States. This section obviously applies to all property in transit, or purchased, or provided, with a view to transit between the loyal and disloyal States, and especially property forming the subject of commer cial intercourse. Such property, wherever found, is liable to seizure, and the only redress of parties who think themselves aggrieved is by appeal to the Secretary of the Treasury, who is invested by law with fall powers of mitigation and remission. The first section of the act approved August6th de clares “ that if any person or persons, his, her, or their agent, attorney, or employee, shall purchase or acquire, sell or give, any property, of whatsoever kind or description, with intent to use or employ the same, or suffer the same to he used or employed, in aiding, or abetting, or promoting such insurrection or any person or persons engaged therein, or any person or persons being tho-owners of any such property, shall knowingly use or employ, or suffer the use or employment, of the same as aforesaid, aU s ueh property is hereby declared to be lawful sub ject’of prize and capture, wherever found.” No donbt can be entertained that this section was well considered, and that its operation was intended to bo limited to property used in furtherance of the insurrection only. 1 Seizures under the act of July 13shonld be made by the officers, or under the direotion of the officers of the Treasury Department; and all the district attorneys and marshals of the United States should afford all practicable counsel and aid in the execu tion of the law. . Seizures under the act of August 6 should be made by the marshal of the district in which such property may be found, under the general or par ticular direotion of the district attorney, or other superior authority. For such seizure there is no power of mitigation or remission “ in the Secretary of the Treasury; but the district attorney or other superior authority may direct the discontinuance of any proceeding in relation thereto, and the re storation of the property seized. It will bo seen, from an inspection of theso pro visions of the acts of Congress, that no property is confiscated or subjected to forfeiture except such as is in transit, or provided for transit to or from insurrectionary States, or used for the promotion of the insurrection. Real-estate bonds, promissory notes, moneys on deposit, and the like, are,’ therefore, not subject to seizure or confiscation in the absence of evidence of such unlawful use. All officers, while vigilant in the prevention of the conveyance of property to or from insurrec tionary States, or the use of it for insurrectionary purposes, aro expected to be careful in avoiding unnecessary vexation and cost by seizures not war ranted by law. William H. Seward, Secretary of State. Appointment of Brigadier Generals. Major Van Yleet, tho quartermaster of General McClellan’s department, and attached to his staff, has been promoted a brigadier general. Captain Todd, of Dacotnh Territory, has been commissioned a brigadier general, and detailed to St. Louis Colonel John G. Barnard ,*of the Engineer Corps, has been made a brigadier general. Munson’s Hjll. The movements on Munson’s Hill can be dis tinctly seen on a clear day, with a good glass, from the dome of the Capitol. The rebels evidently know thiß, and are very fond of moving large bodies of men about the bill, and bringing thoir light bat teries there for drill, tq show us that they are im proving their time to the best advantage. They do not, however, waste any powder in their displays. The Potter Investigating Committee. Quite a number of the Navy Yard meohanics were summoned before the Potter Committee yes terday, to give in their evidence against certain parties. The investigations are in private. “ Contrabands.” Thirteen slaves were takes by the Philadelphia lee Boat, on the Potomac, and arc at the Navy Yard. THE PBESS.-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. 1861. General Fremont not to be Removed. Contrary to current reports yesterday, General Fremont is not removed ; and l have the best au thority for saying that his.removal is not contem plated. The most that wilt be asked of him is a call from the President for nn interview j but even that, at the present crisis of affairs in Missouri, will not probably be demanded new. The Vpper Potomac. Your reporter went up the river yesterday to Gen. Banks’ division at Darnstown, twenty-five miles above Washington and seven miles past Bockville. Our troops are stationed or pickets are thrown out along the river over nearly the whole route. The enemy are on the opposite banks of the Potomac. At Great Falls and on other points the cavalry frequently appear and fire upon our men, and the fire is returned. General Banks’ forces are encamped on an ele vation, with the General’s headquarters in the centre. Through over-exertion the General was somewhat indisposed yesterday, and did not leave his camp. Mis. Banks, who has been with him in his campaigns, returned a few days ago to Massa chusetts. The troops are in a very fine condition, and ready for the fray when invited to a trial of strength. There is no apparent indication of any attempt on the part of the enemy to cross the river, but as neither General Beauregard nor his subordinate, General Johnston, w«i be likely to mi their cards over to General Banks before they attempted to cross, our army hold themselves in readiness for their reception at any moment. Your reporter returned by the inland route, passing through Rockville and Tenallytown, find ing ail quiet, and tho troops in excellent condition. Important Interview with the Secretary yf A young man of intelligence, whose name is withheld, owing to his position and’ probable fu ture movements, had an interview with the Secre tary of War yesterday, during which he made the following statement: He was a resident of Ken tucky, and was appointed a lieutenant in the Fede ral army. He had occasion to go South, where he was impressed into tho Confederate army. He was present at the Bull Run engagement, and has been in the army in that vicinity up to the time of his escape, a few days ago. He esonped by getting beyond the lines, and obtaining the aid of a farmer, who brought him along in his market wagon, covered up in straw. He says Beaure gard has now 185,000 then at Manassas and vi cinity. They are all well clothed and abundantly supplied with shoes of good quality, of which these are a sample, (showing a very good article on his feet.) Their pay is prompt. The Virginia troops are all paid in Virginia bank bills, all the others in gold. The Louisiana troops were offered bank pa per of that State, or gold Tho boys put the blat ter to vote among themselves, aiid decided to take gold, which was paid to them. Their rationa are liberal, and, in short, to use Ills own words, “ they have plenty of everything.” He was offered and declined a colonelcy in the rebel army. ■ . He was yesterday offered, and accepted, a lieu tenancy in our army, in which his father, from Pennsylvania, is now a ohaplain. A despatch received yesterday by a private offi cer of the Government, dated Gov. Morton and Col. Woon left for Louisville on the 19th, on a special train, with guns and am munition. The Governor has ordered the Home Guards and the regiments on the border to hold themselves in readiness. It is further added that 10,000 additional troops could leave that StatJ in twenty-four hours. James W. Lingenfelter, captain of Company £ of Colonel Wistah’s California Regiment, was shot in the head, yesterday afternoon, m the woods off from the Kirby road, near Paine’s house, and was instantly killed. Hehad left our pickets, and, together with a sergeant, advanced into the woods on a reconnoitering expedition, about 150 yaris from the main body of our pickets. He was sud denly surprised by a party of ten dismounted oa vnlry) with* whom he exchanged shots, until one of the enemy advanced, and, taking deliberate aim at him, shot him through the head with a rifle. General Reynolds, who was at Cheat Mountain, has, the despatch says, driven the rebels from his position, killing nearly a hundred of them. Colonel Kidwkll, of the Fourteenth Indiana Regiment, was enrrounded twice, but repulsed the rebels with great gallantry and small loss to us. T hedate of the action is not mentioned, The Government has accepted the tender of milu" tary services by the Count de Faria and Due de Chartres; they will probably enter Gen. McClel lan’s staff. The young Count de Penthievre, son of tho Prince de Joinville, enters the United States Naval Academy. He is sixteen years of age. Major Bauseweis, late aid-de-camp to Gari baldi, has to-day:been commissioned in the mili tary service. . There is as yet no definite action regarding Gene ral Fremont’s administration of affairs in Missouri, the questions involved being of a delicate and com plicated character, and therefore requiring delibe ration. The indications are, however, that if he shall not be superseded in his command, whioh now seems probable, other arrangements of an import ant bearing will be made, having in view the pub lic welfare. Nothing beyond what is here stated can be reliably ascertained, for the reasons already lui-unonea. /" William Blanchard, of this city, has been ap pointed consul to Melbourne. Colonel E. D. Baker, Senator from Oregon, has been appointed major general of volunteers. ‘ The Star, of this evening, repeats that Prince Salm-Salm, of Prussia, has been appointed colonel of the Kentucky cavalry, now here, which is com posed largely of Philadelphians. General McClellan to-day proceeded to the position of General McCall’s division, where a grand review of from ten to twelve thousand troops took place. On Thursday, Colonel Cowdes’s First Massa chusetts Regiment, now performing duty on tho peninsula, captured two wagon loads of military clothing, arms, Ac., destined to be smuggled across the Potomac for the use of the Disunion troops. The seizure was made about fifteen miles from Leonardstown, Aid. The Government has unofficially received infor mation of an opportunity to buy the paintings of the great masters, antiquities, and other works of art at Rome. It is supposed that the offer may have been occasioned by the financial necessities of the Papal Government, and of the members of the Roman aristocracy. As Congress has made no appropriation for such a purpose, the offer could not, of course, be ac cepted. Mr. Judo, our minister,at Berlin: “ The German Turners Association of Young Men for their mental and physical development, had a grand national representative collation in the city of Berlin, in the early part of August. A delegation of German Turners from the United States had also come to participate in the festivities, which, although largely partaking of a political character, passed without the slightest interference of the Government or the police, a most hopeful sign for the cause of liberty in Germany. “As our American Turners had no banner, the flag of the American legation was readily loaned them, and the stars and stripes had the first rank of ail the representative emblems of nationality, the American Turners having been assigned the head of the procession* ■ I had the pleasure of knowing that, although our Sag cannot be cheered in Charleston, it was cheered most heartily in the capital of Prussia on that occasion.” In addition to other distinguished foreigners heretofore named, the following have been commis sioned in our army, the highest testimonials havittg been furnished of their military capacity : Lieut. Col. John Fitzboy de Courcy, of tho English army in the Crimea. - . . . First Lieutenant Oscar Brexdex, of Prusia Captains Veoesack and Hath an, of Sweden. ■ General Blesker has received into his brigade, with great cordiality, Prince Salm de Salii, who has been commissioned to the command of a cavalry regiment. Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 22.—A skirmish took place between the Home Guard and some of Zol licoffer’s men at Barbourville, on Wednesday last. No damage was done. The fight was renewed on Thursday, when Beven Confederates were killed. One of the Home Guards received six wounds, but none of them are fatal. One of the Home Guards was taken prisoner. There were 37 Home Guards and 300 Confederates in the engagement. Louisville, Sept. 22.—The Bulletin learns that Humphrey Marshall is at Liberty, in Owen county, guarded by 800 Secessionists who made his arrest. A special train went from Frankfort to Lexing ton, Ky., to-day, guarded by a detachment of Home Guards. Louisville, Sept. 22.—An intelligent passenger from Elizabethtown to-day reports that 1,500 of Buckner’s forces, mostly from Hardin county, Ky.> are eight miles south of that place, and that the bulk of hi 3 force is still at Bowling Green. Each party seem to he gaining reinforcements at various points. A party of one hundred and fifty men went to Salt River yesterday to prevent the transmission of contraband goods southward through that chan nel. The Bulletin correspondent says the Lebanon train yesterday brought in Matt Jouett, W. W. Woodruff, Fisher, H. W. Smith, and Wm. Tanfler, prisoners, who had escaped from the Confederates. Jouett is adeputy U. S. marshal and was released by Buckner. The railroad from Bowling Green to Nolan la guarded by the Confederates, who have a force of 600 collected from the vicinity of Nolan, Great enthusiasm was manifested at Louisville to-day at the successive arrival of troops from the North, destined to form a portion of our advance. W. N. Haldeman, recently tho principal proprie tor of the Courier, has left for the Southern Con federacy. J. H.

St. Lons, Sept. 22 —The following account of tee battle at Bine Mills Landing ia derived from an authentic source: Lieutenant Cotonol Scott, with 570 men of the lowa Regiment and on# piece of artillery, left Cameron on Monday, the 15tb inst., in pursuit of the rebels who left St. Joseph on the Friday pre vious. Colonel Scott arrived at Liberty, Clay county, on tho morning of the 17th, and moved from that place nt 1 o’clock P. M. At 3 o’cloek ho fell in with the enemy, 4,500 in number, occupying h strong position. Our skir mishers received a gulfing fire, and slowly re treatod to our main body, when the action became general. Our six-pounier was brought to bear on the enemy, and a few shots fired, whioh proved de structive. At this time a heavy fire opened on out single gun, killing our gunner and wounding two others. On this, several other gunners, Ger mans from St. Louis, abandoned the gun, carrying off the primer and matches to render the piece use less. The action continued for on hour, when our column was slowly withdrawn to more open ground, bringing off the wounded, and dragging away the gun by hand, all the horses having been killed or bndly wounded. About this time Colonel Smith, who left St. Jo seph with 1,400 men, at about the same time with Colonel Scott, for the same general purpose, joined the latter, having pushed forward his mounted men and artillery at a rapid pace on receiving a mes sage from Colonel Scott, when ton miles back, that he was advancing on the enemy. But it being night, and the men completely exhausted, while the rebels were reported to have strongly en trenched themselves at the thicket, which was im passable except by a narrow road, a further attack was postponed until morning. Early on the following day an advance was made by tho combined forces; but on arriving at Blue Mills, they found that the enemy had crossed the river before daylight, taking tee road towards Lexington. The following is a partial list of the killed and wounded of the Third lowa Regiment: Major Stone was slightly wounded. Company A—Captain O’Neil, slightly wounded; Lieutenant Duane, severely; Privates W. H. Munger, E. Crishfieid, P. J. McCafforty, sevorely; Andrew Murray, missing. Company B— Lieutenant Hoffs, Sergeant Woods, seriously j Privates Robbins, Hart, and Woodruff, seriously. Company C—Corporal Hunting, seriously, Pri vates Droan, Maddox, and Squiers, missing.

Total —killed, 5; wounded, 84; missing, 6; three of whom are supposed to be in the hands of tho enemy, and the balance killed. In addition to the loss of tee Third lowa, there were six Home Guards and one artilleryman killed, and among them Captain Cupp and about ten wounded. Four of these Home Guards were killed iu a skirmish about twohours before the battle. It is perhaps proper to state teat General Pope’s orders to Colonel Scott were to remain at Liberty till he was joined by Lieutenant Colonel Smith; but learning, oil his arrival at that place, that the enemy was only five miles distant, he sent a messenger to Smith with word to that effect, and pushed on, giving the rebels battle. Chicago, September 22.—The Third Regiment of lowa volunteers, on their way to Lexington to reinforce Mulligan, (date not given,) suddenly and unexpectedly came upon a body of 4,000 rebels, at Blue Mills, Missouri, when a battle commenced, lasting for an hour and a half. .

SOUTHERN DENUNCIATION OF JEFF. DAVIS. Baltimore, Sept. 21—The American has re ceived by the hands of a refugee from Virginia, several Virginia papers, including the Richmond Whig of the 6th, which contains a remarkable let ter from Franklin Minor, most bitterly denouncing the Administration of Jeff. Davis. The Richmond Examiner of the 12th says: “ It is evident to every intelligent observer, that the embittered remnant of the submissionist party, fully represented in the Virginia Convention, is bent on the organization of a regular opposition to the Government. Under all the names that it has borne, that element in our politics has been inva riably against the Southern, and though the events of last spring annihilated its material form, or at least caused it to disappear from the public view, it exists, always with undiminished virulence, and awaits the opportunity to spring into life again.” The following article in the Richmond Whig appears over the initials “F. M.,” no doubt from; the pen of Franklin Minor: “ To ichomit may concern— “ The following privato letter to the editor is from an old personal friend, but long separated by party, and one of the first in position and intellect in the great county of Albemarle. It was obvi ously not designed for publication, but on that very account it may be the better sign of things unseen and the better serve to enlighten the Administra tion respecting the temper of the public mind : “ Albemable, August 29,1861. 11 Dear Moselv : I am utterly disgusted with your man Jeff. Davis, and his man Walker, and I want to know if you will publish my spleen if I utter it. I have just received a letter from Ma nassas. Our troops there, one day last week, had nothing for breakfast but salt and potatoes; were sent eight miles at double-quick, to meet a false alarm, and got neither dinner nor supper when they came hack to camp. Now, Mosely, it is evi dent to me that your Government is rotten in the head. Davis ought to be spiked up where men can see him. You have won a great victory, and got no fruits from it. *You have bad charge of the Government for six months, and have done nothing. No meat, no bread, no powder, no wagons, no any thing, but salt and potatoes, and you sing out, 1 the Government has the entire confidence of the whole people.’ Now, it hasn’t mine, and I want to know whether I can have a fair hearing. '“'The only smart thing I have seen is your pro position to postpone the Presidential election. That is excellent—most excellent. I trust that it may save us. - If I were in Congress, I would refuse one dollar of appropriations for the war —holy though it is—until Walker was turned out ana someDOdy put in his place with sense enough to at tend to the duties of it. I don't know either Da vis or Walker, hut I have seen enough to raise sus picions in my mind that neither is the right man in the right place. Why talk, then, about the confi dence of the people in the Administration ? I don’t feel any such confidence myself, and I believe I am not singular in my distrust. If you editors would poly speak out full toned about the abuses Vliich stink m yOur nostrils, things Would yet be right. It is a shame which cries to Heaven for vengeance, when men of the pen are talking about confidence, Ac., and your soldiers are made to trot sixteen miles on one meal of potatoes and salt. _ “ There is rottenness enough in the medical staff alone to damn any Administration. Why hoodwink the people? Your Government is rot ten, and stinks! We must smell it at last—the sooner the better, l’ou won’t smell any stronger to Yankee nostrils after you turn Walker out and make Davis toe the mark than you do now. They know you can’t advance upon them from want of victuals and vehicles, and your weakness remains patent to them till you reform the abuses of jour Administration. “ The smartest thing England did, in the Ameri can war, was the reformation of abuses, in full view of the enemy and her rival too. Your enemies know yon are rotten You won’t tell them any thing new by luining out Davis and his whole crew, which I am decidedly in favor of, if they don't show themselves more efficient. he— 11 r — atiig • nanoluiahs' daily to Davis & Co. It frets me: Your soidiora»r» War ing, but so long as the President and Generals can wear fine linen, Ac., you sing‘Hallelujahs.’ It won’t do, my friend. Somebody must tell the peo ple the plain truth, or we are ruined. Freezing and starvation stare you in the face for next winter, .and you call on the women and children to rive up their blankets and bread for the soldiers The women have supported tho war so far. You couldn’t be in the field to-day but for their needles. You’ve had tho Government for soren months, and you confess your inability by your daily wayß, and still you speak of ‘confidence.’ It is waning hourly, I assure you, and unless the press speaks out plainly, and that Eoon, all is lost ! I don’t know any politicians, and I don’t eare for any, but I care for my country and the brave men who are fighting for us, and it stirs my gall to see them treated worse than I treat my dogs and hogs. Don’t be afraid of showing your weakness to the Y'ankees. They know it. Show your strength, by putting things to rights at borne, and you will be then feared abroad. “'Very truly yours, F. M.” The Richmond Whig , of the 19th, says : “ Six more United States prisoners have escaped.’’ It also contains a report, which is doubtless entirely unfounded, that General Lee had captured the person of General Reynolds while he was passing from one United States camp to another. From Fortress Monroe. Baltimore, September 21. —The Old Point boat brings no news.

They are accompanied by S. Philips Day, special correspondent of the London Herald. Until within two days there were about 1,200 Federal prisoners at Richmond, but yesterday and topday many of them were sent to New Orleans. Mr. Fly is still at Richmond. The above-named surgeons'have taken care of our wounded, and have a letter from Lieutenant Todd, (brother-in-law of President Lincoln,) highly complimentary of their services, and reflecting se verely upon the Federal surgeons, who forsook their wounded compatriots at Richmond some weeks since to return North. General Beauregard’s headquarters are at Fair fax Court House. General Johnson’s headquarters were probably at Winchester. It was not supposed at Richmond that the Con federates would make an attack on Washington. Certain kinds of provisions were enormously high. Gold brought a premium of 15 per cent.

The steamship Bohemian, from New York, ar rived at Londonderry on the loth The polioy of the English Government in sending troops to Canada, haring been seriously questioned, the arrangements have been suspended lor the present. It is expected a combined Anglo-French nnval and military expedition will' soon be organized against Mexico, to obtain redress for the injuries to British and French interests in that country. WThe Times' city article says: “It is expected that a combined Anglo-French naval and military expedition will be organized to obtain redress for the indignities inflicted on British and French inte rests in Mexico. Spain is earnestly desirous of an adjustment that, may end the- prevailing horrors there, and foreign intervention is prayed for by the whole Mexican population. It is assumed that the Federal Cabinet at Washington will cordially co-' operate, that it may permanently conciliate all rational claims without further delay.” The end of the settlement of consols account, on the 10th, was attended with seme confusion. Eight operators in all were compelled to suspend—in one case for £25,000. Consols closed buoyant on the 10th inst. at 93ja93i for money and 93ia9$j for account to October 10.

The Patrie says all the Powers, without excep tion, acknowledge the truth of the allegations made by the Roman Government in protesting against Baron Ricasoli’s assertions.

Rentes are heavy at 68f 95c, Spain, in conjunction with England and France, will intervene in the affairs of Mexico by sending troops from Cnba. The National Fete at Naples passed off splen didly, the King and Garibaldi being loudly cheered. The journal of Rome officially declares that the passage in Baron Ricasoli’s note, relative to Rome is calumnious, aud it would be unworthy the dig nity of the Holy See to make reply. The journal, at the same time, demonstrates a falsity of assertions contained therein. General Guyon had ordered that any invasion by the Piedmontese, of localities occupied by the French, shall be repulsed by force. At a meeting of theologians at Palermo, a reso lution was adopted declaring that the temporal power of the Pope was incompatible with, and con trary to, the mission of tho Catholic Church. It was rumored that the minister of the United States, at Brussels, had addressed a proposal to Ga ribaldi to take an important command in the Fede ral army j aud it was also rumored that Garibaldi had accepted the offer, uUder certain reservations.

Colonel Rush’s Regiment is encamped on Second street, near Nieetown lane. Last evening, after dark, we passed the place, and tho light from the tents seemed to float hazily in tho gloom, bearing upon its subtle undulations the rise and fall of a hundred voices, singing in tho clear Sab bath, the old camp-mccting strain, to new words: 11 IVe aro battling for the Union, Wo are battling for the Union, AVe are battling for the Union As we go marching on.” Near by, in the turnpike, a company of men were being drilled, and the tramp of their heavy feet seemed like an echo of the two hundred thou sand, that upon the Potomac, in Kentucky, and Missouri, “go marching on,” “battling for the Union.” The Government wagons, below Cooper ville, lined the way; other chords in the great mu sic of “marching on,” that in this time of war, thrills the heart of the babe and maks the coward's sinews strong as steel. The New "War Vessels.—The statement, by telegraph, in a New York paper, that the Go vernment had accepted propositions from Messrs.

The flurry pro duced by the heavy drain of the Government upon the banks, and the' sharp upward turn in foreign exchange, has entirely subsidod, and capital is again easy and abundant at the rates of last week. Call loans are quoted to-day ajper cent, as the rule, and we hear of transactions at even lower figures. Borrowers of money at 6 per cent, have been pay ing off for several days past, and the pressure to lend is now as great as it was a fortnight ago. The enormous disbursements, of the Government are already having a marked effect upon IVnll street, Which is now partially relieved of the strain im posed upon it by the heavy transfer of specie to the Sub-Treasury. The banks are fast regaining their specie, but it will not be fully shown on Monday’s statement. We> probably had the minimum of the bank specie average in last Monday’s returns, and by the middle of next week will again approach forty millions of dollars. Exchange for to-day’s stesmer closed flat, with . little or no demand, at 108ial081 for first-olass bills On London. The Stock Exchange has a very firm appearance to-day, especially the list of Government stocks, which, at this time, is the best barometer of public confidence. 2he sixes of 1881 are now higher than previous to the Bull Bun disaster, and at the ad vance there are few on the market. The specula tive’lots seemed to have been distribntedand taken out of the street for investment. The lowest point touched was 85, so that the present quotations (90ia»l) show an improvement of fully Si per cent. New York Control olown steady at 737. ouuinern State stocks are dull and without change. The differences existing in the Western department depress the prices of Missouris; sales at 43a4,V B . The subscriptions to the national loan at the Sub- Treasury are about the average amount. The de mand opens well at Mr. Ketchum’s agency. Tho conveniences offered in the way of receiving checks, bank-notes, Ac., will invite subscriptions where the cumbrous machinery of the Sub-Treasury would not We annex a comparative statement of the imports of foreign dry goods and general merchandise at New York for the week and since January 1 : For the week. 1859. 1860. 1861.

The total declared value of exports for the month of June was; 1800, June. 846,180,000 1861, June 52,110,000 Showing an increase in the total export of over ten per cent. Of this export, thirty-three per cent, was cotton goods. The exports to the United States, for the same periods, were: 1860, June $3,650,000 1861, June.... 031,000 or a lost of five-sixths, or over eighty per cent. This decrease of exports was made up as follows: 1860. 1801. 1718,000 ; ?52,000 Cottons...

Notwithstanding this large decline, it will be seen by the first comparison that the total Bri tish trade has increased, showing us the world can live without us, and more, that the speedy ending of onr troubles is not essential to Great Britain. The Providence Journal says! _ Thirty-five subscribers yesterday took sixteen thousand dollars of the national loan in this city.
