It is iu'latei) of one of the bravest and
i:,o>t pious members of the great MulilcnWg
fatuity—beloved alike for his patriotism and
!i:s many Christian virtues—that in the Ameri
can Revolution, after preaching a thrilling ser
mon on a beautiful Sabbath morning to his
congregation, immediately at the close of the
exercises he threw oft' his surplice and stood
disclosed before his parishioners in the uni
form of an American officer, lie then informed
them that “ there was a time to pray and n
time to tight, 5 -" and that, as the liberties of the
country were in danger, lie had resolved to
offer bis services to the Government; and, to
that end. would commence enrolling liis men
on the green outside of the clmrcli. This
familiar incident comes back to us now
as a cheering reminiscence of the tirst struggle
for freedom on these shores, and as an irre
sistible appeal to all loyal men at the pre
sent day. If the men who moulded and
made this great Government—who toiled,
fought, and died that it should stand,
like an eternal fortress, impregnable to tyranny
through all time—were inspired by such emo
tions, why should not we, their descendants,
catch war and vengeance from their example ?
If r they wore invoked to battle hv what tlioy
believed to be the call of God and of country,
we should remember that the appeal to us is
far more solemn, and, if possible, more irresis
tible. They gave their lives and fortunes to
build cp a nation. We are called into battle
to save a nation. They left to their posterity
the seed, and from the seed that posterity has
gathered a harvest yes, many harvests,
abundant, fruitful, sustaining —seed that first
blossomed into laws, then into commerce,
(owns, cities, and various industries, and at
last ripened into a civilization so perfect, and
into institutions so equal and solid, as to seem
to be beyond the improvement of man and the
ravages of time. Of a sudden this .perfect
3'nui of the labors of the heroes tmtl sages of
the Revolution—after exciting the envious
appetite of the tyrants of the old world,
and feeding and strengthening a shame
less oligarchy in the new—is sought to be
plucked from the tree of liberty. Traitor
hands are laid upon the branches of this tree.
Assassins seek to poison its roots, so as to de
prive- coming generations of the unnumbered
blessings of a civilized and generous Govern
ment. Truly is this a time when all good men
should stand forward in defence of our rights
and interests. There is not a citizen that can
not do something for the common cause. The
clergyman, the lawyer, the professional man,
the artist, the mechanic, the farmer, the la
borer, should remember that the triumph or
the defeat of our armies will be the success or
overthrow of his own franchises and probably
of bis own personal freedom. In every coun
ty in Pennsylvania the great truths involved
in this contest should be preached from
the sacred desk, from tlie bench of the
judge, from the bar, and from the poli
tical hustings. Every newspaper editor
should devote his time and his talents
to this holy duty. Those who cannot thus
address the people, should apply themselves
in other modes to awaken them to a full con
sciousness of the work that is before us. The
ladies can now be most efficient instruments,
.from cut of their abundance they may, in
many ways, add to the comfort of our brave
men in the field and in the camps. Those
who have. hoarded up their money should
freely contribute to the support of our troops,
and those who desire to put their gains at safe
interest should set the good example of sub
scribing promptly and liberally to the national
Joan. Should this spirit prevail, presently
the citizen who refuses to be animated by it
v.fd be a marked man in this neighborhood.
Be will be pointed at as one who is blind to
Lis obligations to the .best and most indulgent
Government on God’s globe—deaf to the calls
of a bleeding and threatened republic—a sym
pathizer with treachery and falsehood and
ingratitude, and a fitting candidate fov the
curses of liis own and his children's children.
Montgomery County.
The Union men of Montgomery county met
at Hvlpvillej pursuant to notice, on Thursday
hut. and at a meeting composed of a thousand
or fifteen hundred persons, animated .by the
utmost harmony and enthusiasm, placed in
nomination the following ticket: For State
Senator, H. W. Bonsall, of Norristown ; for
Assembly, John Kennedy, Upper Morion;
Joseph Mintzee, Pottstown; Joseph Lukens,
Upper Dublin; Associate Judge, Jacob Day,
Wkiteinarsli; Sheriff, E. D. Jouxsox, Norris
town; Treasurer, William Mich user, White
Plain ; Commissioner, Joseph Kuieble, Wor
cester ; Director of the Poor, Isaac Krata,
Upper Salford; Auditor, William Ross iter,
Norristown; Coroner, J. C. Snider, Norris
town. This is represented as a first-class
ticket, composed of men of all parties. Know
ing well the men engaged in this movement,
and the party opposed to it and them, as re
presented in the Norristown Register, (a paper
which Mr. District Attorney Coffey ought
long ago to have suppressed,) we trust this
ticket will be elected by an overwhelming ma
jority. H. W. Bonsall, the candidate for
Senator, has the proper qualities for this crisis
—pluck, intelligence, and a thorough convic
tion of the justice of the cause of the Govern
ment. He stood firm in the darkest hours,
was resolute when others quailed, and defied
the tricksters of 1858, ’59, and ’6O as lie defies
the traitors of 18fii. No action was taken
upon the Domination of president judge in the
(iistrict composed of Bucks and Montgomery.
Foreign Invasion of Mexico.
The 2,400 soldiers announced as being in
readiness to proceed to augment the British
force in Canada, arc to be employed, it ap
pears, in conjunction with troops from France
and Spain, on an expedition to Mexico.
France and England complain of indignities
inflicted on their subjects in Mexico. There
appears no pretext for the interference of
Spain—yet Spanish troops from Cuba will
swell the invading force. The London Times
assumes that the Cabinet at Washington “ will
cordially co-operate,” which is extremely
doubtful, on the traditional Monroe policy.
Until we learn more of this matter, which
seems to have been in Becret agitation for some
time, wc merely publish the above statement.
Or.e concluding word, however, we must add.
Hitherto, European Powers have shown com
mendable and politic care in avoiding compli
cations with countries and governments ou
tiie American continent. If Spain, England,
France—all or any—think that the game can
be played now because U. S. has his hands
full, each and all will find it a great mistake.
Europe shall not interfere with this continent.
The Pennsylvania Volunteers and tlie
Election.
Governor CuitTix has recently issued a
I»roclamation in regard to the facilities which
are to be extended to the volunteers of our
State to exercise the right of suffrage in their
rc-epcetive camps. He recites the provisions
of the statute, which has been in force ever
since the war of 1812, for the purpose of pre
venting the defenders of our country from
losing their political privileges as citizens.
They are to vete on the day of the general
election in the same manner, as far as practi
cable, as if they had remained at home, the
officers of their companies to act as judges and
inspectors, and the returns to he transmitted
to the prothonotaries of their respective
counties.
Hox. !Vm. M. Meredith, Attorney General
of our State, has recently decided that in his
opinion the act of May 15,1861, for the relief
of the families of the volunteers, did not apply
merely to those who enrolled themselves for
three months, but that those Pennsylvanians
who have enlisted for three-years are also cn*
titled to its benefits, unless they have, con
nected themselves with companies which be
long to other States.
foreign SperuTntions on American
Aflairs.
A curious idea is broached by a Berlin cor
respondent of the No tv York Herald. ' He in
timates that our country isnowbeing regarded
by France anil England very much as Turkey
was by the Emperor of Russia before the
Crimean war, when he declared that the land
nl' tin' Sultan was «a sick man, 55 whose
ifleets would, in tlie due course of nature, soon
he divided among now owners, lie alleges
that one of the objects of the British Govern
ment in sending fresh reinforcements to Cana
da is to be prepared to prey upon Michigan
and Maine, and to make them dependencies
of the British Crown, in cane our Union should
be permanently destroyed, and our power
seriously weakened. Napoleon, he thinks,
looks with an ambitious eye upon Florida and
Louisiana, and would be glad to avail himself
of any contingencies that would render it pos
sible for him to gain control of them, and thus
to found new French colonies upon our conti
nent. These are probably mere idle specula
tions. that have their sole foundation in the
fertile imagination of tlie writer, lint, they still
a fiord it alight indication of the direction in
which, according to the opinion of our ene
mies in Europe, wo arc drifting.
Another view, ol' a much more correct,
hopeful, and encouraging character, wo are
told, prevails among those citizens of France
who have always entertained friendly feelings
for our country, and who are anxious for its
future prosperity. They believe that with a
people who possess the superiority of strength,
and of all the elements of wealth and great
ness, which the citizens of the loyal States
have over the insurgents, failure will he im
possible in a great struggle for the resto
ration of the mightiest Confederacy and the
noblest Government that the world has ever
seen, if they are not delicient in some of tlie
indispensable elements of manhood and patri
otism. Snell friends entertain full confidence,
it is said, in our final triumph. And no matter
what may he their views, certain it is that the
improved tone of feeling that is becoming
more and more perceptible; the alacrity dis
played in responding to the financial appeals
of the Secretary of the Treasury; the rapidity
with which our army is being reorganized and
strengthened ; tlie manner in which our navy
is being increased and improved; the effec
tiveness of our blockade on the Southern
coast: tlie victory of ITatteras, and the pros
pect that many similar triumphs may be ef
fected in tbc future,—clearly indicate tbattbe
loyal portion of our country is bee a turns; fully
impressed with a sense of tlie responsibilities
and duties which devolve upon it, and with an
unflinching determination to so exert its
mighty energies as to discharge them all.
Political Unions.
TJtC Coburg family liavo made tlieir for
tunes by marriage. One of them is Queen ol'
England, another is Frinee Consort, a third is
King of tlie Belgians, a fourth is King of
Portugal, others wedded into the royal fami
lies of France, Prussia, and Austria. In fact,
whenever any Prince or Princess wants wife or
husband there is a Coburg at hand, —and, to
suit all religious denominations, one branch is
Lutheran and the other Catholic. This policy
of making advantageous marriages has so
much built up Austria, that a well-known
Latin couplet commemorates how, while other
States grew great bj&the triumphs of Mars,
Austria achieved prosperity by moans of
Venus.
VirTon-EjiMA.vrEL, of Italy, bids fair to
carry out the Coburg example of forwarding
his family interests by Hymenial connections,
lie has three sons, the eldest of whom, only
seventeen years old, has not yet committed
matrimony; but his eldest daughter, Clotilue,
married Napoleon (Jerome) of France in her
sixteenth year, and her sister, tlie Princess
Mama, not yet fourteen, is spoken of as en
gaged to become second wife of the young
King of Portugal. This accounts for tho re
cent recognition, by Portugal, of the Kingdom
of Italy, while Spain and some other ultra-
Catholic countries still hold back, in tlie vain
hope that Francis 11. may regain Naples, that
the banished Italian rulers may get back to
their Duchies, and that Fopo Fics may recover
his lost Estates of the Church.
It will be desirable for the Princess Maria-
Pia of Sardinia to have a capital memory—to
bear in mind all tlie baptismal appellations of
her futvr. They are simply Pedro d’Alcautara-
Maria-Felnando-Miguel-Kaphacl-Gabricl-Gon
zaga-Xavier-Joao-Antonio-Leopold-Vi e t o r -
Francisco d’Assise-.lulio-Amelio. Fifteen
names such as these arc no trifle, but this is
no more than the average bestowed upon the
princes and princesses of the House of Bra
ganza!
The News of the Reported Escape of Jno.
C. Breckinridge from Frankfort, to formally
join tho conspirators, will be received by the
public without surprise. He has slowlypassed
through all the grades of the crime of treason
against his country, until finally, if this rumor
be true, lio is, wo suppose, about to reach the
culminating point, by oitlier placing himself
at the head of a body of troops organized to
war against the State and Nation which have
showered honors upon him, or by giving all
the aid in his power, in a civil capacity, to
those who direct the military movements of
our enemies. The flimsy veil of neutrality,
and the guise of mere political hostility to the
Administration, are now entirely thrown aside,
and in the contest, which has been narrowed
down to a strife between patriots and traitors,
lie has openly taken bis stand where his sym
pathies naturally lead him—with tlie foes of
Ms country.
Postmaster Waiboss, of this city, is do
ing his duty faithfully and well to tlie commu
nity and tlie Government. Complaints are
made, undoubtedly originating in tiie jealousy
of certain of the removed office-holders under
Buchanan’s Administration, because he has
retained some loyal Democrats—men who re
fused to yield to the dictation of Baker &.
Co., and who were kept in position by Mr.
Postmaster Browne on account of tlieir in
tegrity and efficiency. If no heavier sin can
he laid at Mr. Walborn’s door, tlie commu
nity will readily absolve him.
A Question Answered.
A correspondent writes—“ In your notice of the
October number of Harper's Magaaine you par
ticularly praise, three stviies in it without men
tioning the authors’ name*. If you know them,
eblige myself and other readers by a disclosure.”
Our answer is that tbe stories are published
anonymously in Harper. Still, we "happen to
know,” as Tom Hill would say, that " Marrying a
Baby” was written by Kate S. Neely; “How I
made a Fortune,” by Thomas Dunn English, for
merly of Philadelphia; and 11 Poll Jennings’ Hair, ’ ’
(the best of the three,) by Rose Terry, who has
written a good deal for Harper. A volume of her
poems—good poems, too—were published, some
months ago, by Ticknor A Fields. Tb* first named
person here, Miss Neely, is very young; yet in
her teens, we believe. She is sister of Mrs. Brad
ley, whose husband is brother to Mrs. Alice B.
Haven, (formerly Alice B. Neale,) and also of Mrs.
'William C. Richards. Their father, a Virginia
gentleman, bad them taught all that usually outers
into the best education of agentleman—languages,
mathematics, &c.—yet they are wholly unaffeoted
ar.d retiring. A prize essay in Harper , called
"Too Sensitive,” is likely to attract much atten
tion from its power and truth. It is from the
peu. we believe, of Henry Giles, the well-known
lecturer and essayist.

Anniversary ■ Ceeebratioj, . Yesterday,
four years ago, a noonday prayer meeting was in
augurated in the Fulton-street Church, in New
York, and was immediately followed by similar
movements in all the principal cities in tne Union.
The anniversary was duly observed-in this city yes
terday. at the prayer meeting at the Sansom-street
Church. There was a good attendance, much larger
than on ordinary occasions. George H. Stuart,
I'fq., presided. Prayers were made by the Rev.
John Chambers and several other clergymen.
The HiaaiiLicAX, :i newspaper published at
Clearfield in this State, under the auspices of
Mr. D. W. Moore, ex-Senator Bigler’.* special
post-office agent during the Administration of
Mr. Buchanan, is the inosl treasonable and of
fensive journal on our exchange list. It is
even worse than tho extinct West Chester
Jeffersonian. The hist number, that of Sep
tember 18th, might he printed in the district of
Keitt or Pryor, and be a fair reflection of
the surrounding sentiment. Can it lie possi
ble that ex-Senator Bigler is responsible for
the infamous articles that appear in the Re
publican ? Wo had supposed, from what we
have heard of him, that, notwithstanding .his
selfish associations w ith the enemies of tho
Union In 18G0, he was now penitential, and
ready to stand by tho Government to the last.
We can scarcely believe that the Democracy
of Clearfield are represented by this newspa
per, or that the ticket it advances has the
slightest chance of an election.
Tiif. following letter from William Wheat
let, Esq., lessee of tho Continental T lieatro,
appears in tlie New York Herald, of yester
day. It is a graceful and well-timed defence.
Tlie idea of holding Mr. 'Wiieatlev responsi
ble, in any sense, for the tragedy at the “ Con
tinental,” is so unjust that we do not wonder
he should feel sensitive upon the subject. If
there is any judgment among honorable men,
in regard to that affair, it is that Mr. Wheat
ley acted with singular prudence, courage, and
generosity, from tlio beginning to tlie end:
To the Editor of the AT™- York Herald:
Continental Theatre, Philadelphia, Sept.
21, 18(11.—Tlie article in your paper of the llltli
inst., which I enclose, I lmve vead with pain, and
am sure vou have been misinformed in regard to
tho snd "event and will be sullieiently generous to
correct the impression your statement is likely to
create in Now York—my birth-placo, and tho home
of my family- A jury on tlie spot saw that I had
not only guarded against accident by fire, but had
taken tho precaution of having the means at hand
to extinguish it should it chance to occur. I had
just taken possession of the theatre, and, previous
to opening, had not only guarded all the lights that
I thought by possibility dangerous, but had also ro
newed the ropes, for accidents will sometimes hap
pen from their breaking.
Tho calamity occurred in a large dressing-roam
(in which were seven young ladies), lighted, as
shown on the iuquest, by a oontrc-light, six feet
four inches from tho floor. Tho gas-burner, which
set fire to tho dress, was an ordinary bracket-light,
about five feet from the floor, on the wall along
side the mirror, the same as in a private house.
Shelves had been placed all around the room to put
the dresses en, and it was not with my permission
or knowledge that nails had been driven in the
wall, which, in fact, wero the cause of the accident.
If I bestowed a thought upon myself at the
present time, the verdict of the jury, the dying
blessings of tbo poor girls, and my own conscience,
would bo all-sufficient to satisfy mo; but I have a
mother and sister in New Fork, whose feelings
have been wounded by tho article, which I now re
quest you to amend. By so doing, you will' confer
a favor on yours, very respectfully,
W. IVheatlev.
Postage Stamps.
The Post Office Department has made a
blunder, it is evident, in directing that, alter a
certain date, the postage-stamps hitherto in
use shall not free letters sent by mail. A
postage-stamp, however small the amount, as
much represents a Government obligation as
a treasury note. The note is a promise to pay
at a certain time ; tlie postage-stamp is a pro
mise to carry a letter through the post office
whenever used. Note and stamp are docu
mentary evidence that money lias'hecn paid to
tlie Government. To repudiate a treasury
note and to repudiate a postage-stamp involves
the same principle, though there is a difference
of value. The stamp-holder and the note
holder are equally public creditors. The Go
vernment must either give new stamps for old,
or, what is still easier, let the old stamps free
letters as long as any remain out.
LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
"Washington, September 23,18G1.
'flic cloud of battle, big and black with the
tempest, hangs gloomily all over Kentucky,
Missouri, Maryland, and Tennessee. The
thunderbolt may, at any moment, fall upon the
Capital. Only in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
and New England, perfect peace may be said
to reign, and even in these, hundreds of thou
sands of hearts beat quickly at every rumor
of war, and anxious wives and children cluster
around once happy household fires, eagerly
awaiting intelligence of the loved ones gath
ered in distant fields to defend the honor of the
country. There has been a great awakening
in the free States—an awakening that has
appalled the traitors in the South and
amazed the civilized world—blit there are
still many, many sleepers—many who will
not, or cannot, or do not realize tlie extent of
the rebellion, and measure the magnitude of
the responsibility devolved upon them. It is
impossible to add to the justice of the com
mon cause, to over-estimate the immortal
issues involved in the ultimate decision of the
strife, and the glorious incentives to all to
make the cause their own. In this aspect of
the question we can have nothing more to de
sire. What the Government requires, how
ever, is, undoubtedly, more troops. Penn
sylvania and New Jersey have done nobly,
but they can do bettor. On a rvcvul visit tu
Philadelphia, I was surprised and gratified to
find so many young men ready to go forth at
any hour when their services might he needed.
These are all needed now—needed on the
banks of the Mississippi, needed in Kansas,
needed on the shores of the upper Potomac,
needed in Kentucky, and on the shores of the
Ohio—wherever, indeed, our flag floats over
embattled hosts they are needed. I know
they will go, now that they see how boldly and
liow brutally treason has reared its horrid
front. You have noble orators in your great
old State—men whose hearts are glowing like
fire in this mighty mevement—men who, with
the flames of their own eloquence, can kindle
fiiiclt an enthusiasm among tlie musses as will
summon, as it were, from your liil'.s and val
leys, a new and almost countless army.
Let these tribunes of the people go out
among the people, and speak to them. In an
cient Rome it was the duty of the tribunes to
protect the masses from the oppression of tiie
patricians and nobles, and to defend popular
liberty against any attempt that might be
made upon it. If ever there was an attack
upon religion, upon freedom, upon law and
order, and every sign and trophy of just
government and civilization, that attack is
being made now, and made, too, by those who
assume to be the patricians and nobility of the
land. You ought to recollect that, standing as
your State does, midway between the armed re
bellion and tlie more secure Commonwealths
on your eastern shores, you will be called
upon, as this tragic drama advances, to play a
part that may be decisive. Your entire south
western frontier is safe from incursions, while
along the west and northwest you arc pro
tected alike by your own people and by the
loyal communities of other States. Pennsyl
vania carries in her bosom tbc wealth and re
sources of an empire; and, although she has
given many thousands of her loyal and heroic
masses to her country, and has almost filled
her quota, slie has tlie means to offer many
more thousands to that country. No time
should be lost. lam happy to hear that no
thing is required but an appeal by the proper
authority and through proper men, which will
be responded to at once in every county.
Should this appeal fail, however, then nothing
will prevent a resort to a draft for troops.
You will see that the Governor of lowa has
adopted this plan. There are many objec
tions to it, but its advantage consists in the
fact that it will dead to the subscription of a
large fund, which will go far to sustain in com
fort the families of those who may enlist for
the war. Persons who cannot go with the
army will very gladly pay for substitutes, which
compensation or indemnity will operate as u
great inducement to those who now only hesi
tate because they to leave their wives mid
children behind them in want.
Public Amusements.
Last night, the new play, “ Jeannette; or, Le

MURDER OF A PENNSYLVANIA COLONEL.
Contradictory Reports of Surrender of Mulligan,
Our outer pickets were driven in last night front
the vicinity of Basil Hall’s house (recently
burnt), to Mount Olivret Church, which is within a
mile of Ball’s Cross Hoads. They were attacked
by rebel cavalry, and one of our captains was shot.
Our pickets fell baek from tbe superior force until
they wero supported near the church by a strong
foreo from Gen. Wadsworth’s Brigade.
Preparations were then made to secure the ene
my, but thoy did not appear, and nothing further
occurred in that section during tho night. The
officers of our advanced regiments say that the
attacks upon our pickets are becoming daily more
daring and bold. Thoso placed on guard during
the night are often shot off without a moment's
warning. The enemy quietly crawls forward under
cover of tlie dense forests, and getting within rifle
shot, fire, and retreat through the woods, without
being discovered.
Batteries on Upton’s Ilill,
Standing at Ball’s Cross Boads, with a good field
glass, the enemy could yesterday be seen in strong
forco on Upton’s Hill, about two miles due west,
towards Falls Church. Upton is a Union man,
and was elected and held his seat this spring in
Congress. Exasperated at this, the rebels, after
the Manassas affair, pressed forward until they got
possession of Mr. Upton’s house. I called at the
house on the day previous to the battle at Bull
llun, and found Mrs. Upton and her married
daughter, with their families, at home, and sur
rounded with all the comforts of a prosperous
fanner’s houso. Mr. linos was then in his seat
in Congress. In a few days the families were
obliged to fly for their live?. The house was
entered by the robels, tho furniture was car
ried off, and the house used as quarters fur
the troops. The hill is now being fortified. On
the opposite side of the street is tho house whero a
brother of Mr. Upton formerly lived. Hero the robcl
cavalry wore seen yesterday in large numbers, and
men were employed in throwing up a fortification.
Being on one of tiin principal and tho most direct
route to Fairfax Court House and Manassas renders
this position one of great importance. Its elevated
position adds also to its importance. From batte
ries on Upton’s hill, tlie tavern and houses at Ball’s
Cross Boads can be shelled with ease, or a body of
troops at that point could be seriously cut up.
J. T. Katnk, Company C, Thirty-first Pennsyl
vania Bcgimont, was bayoneted yesterday, at <1
o’clock, at the corner of Maryland avenue and
Four-and-a-half stroets, by a sergeant of the same
regiment. The soldier, with a brother, had left
the camp without leave, and the sergeant, with a
guard, was sent out to hunt them up and bring
them into camp. Thoy found them as above,
somewhat intoxicated. Kaine refused to go, and
an altercation took place, when the bayonet was
put through his body. There Is little hope of his
recovery. The sergeant has been arrested.
Tlie prospect for a fair supply of coal is good,
but wood is scarce, and dealers have run up their
prices quite beyond the roach of poor families. A

prices.
Drummed Out,
George Haves, Co. K., U. 6. Dragoons, was
drummed out this morning, and afterwards handed
over to the civil authorities to be tried for theft of
two cavalry revolvers and a horse. ,
Increase of Rebel Batteries.
Officers-' of our army report active operations by
tbv rvbvl army in erecting batteries along their
lines in front of our troops. Every prominence of
importanoo, where cannon can be made to range
with advantage upon tbo main roads, or over passa
ble plains, is occupied by troops who are employed
in throwing up breastworks. Thus, while the forts
of tlie Federal army have been rendered impreg
nable, thoso of the enemy are becoming formidable.

ever companies by an economical use of their rations
have raised a surplus, it must be left in the hahds
of the commissary from whom they draw their ra
tions. Tho bills of purchase at the cost prices of
tbo articles will be paid by apy commissary having
funds for that purpose, for the benefit of the econo
mists. Heretofore these surplus rations huve been
sold to sutlers and storekeepers, or exchanged for
other supplies by the soldiers at a sacrifice.
Review by Gen. McClellan.
The brigades of General Keyes, Wadsworth,
and Richardson, under command of Gen. Me-
Dowf.ll, were reviewed to-day by Gen. McClel

General Heintzlehan, who was wounded in tho
arm at the battle of Bull Bun, has nearly recovered
from the injury! He will be assigned the command'
of a division in Virginia.
Meddling Editors.
The Administration has been appealed to to stop
the writings of Dr. Bussell. Mr. Seward says
they can do no ham, while the tirades of our own
papers against the President for bis letter to Fre
mont cannot fail to have an injurious effect upon
the public mind. We are prone to discover the
errors of others, but blind to our own. The In
tellzgeneer, this morning, justly says :
" Those who dissent from the wisdom of the Pre
sident’s order, restraining the proceedings of Gen.
Fremont within tho limits of the law of Congress,
arc ready, it seems, to acquiesce in the parcelling
out of the national authority into as many major
generalships as wo have major generals in the field.
These latter, in their several military districts, and
not the President as their constitutional Comman
der-in-Chief, are to control, without let or hind
rance, all military operations, and decide questions
of civil and Social law which neither tho Constitu
tion nor the laws of Congress have remitted to the
adjudication of one or the other.”

Surrender of Mulligan Confirmed.
St. Louis, Sept. 23.—General Prentiss has a de
spatch announcing tiie surrender of Colonel Mulli
gan at Lexington. The Federal loss is placed at 37
killed and 140 wounded, and that of the rebels was
supposed to be about 800 killed and wounded.
The reported fight between the rebels and Gene
ral Lane's brigade, near Blue Mills, (telegraphed
from Chicago.) is discredited here—General Lane
being some distance east of that point at the last
accounts, marching on Lexington. The accounts
of the battle at Blue Mills forwarded from this city
lost night were derived from official despatches
written on the spot, and, therefore, can be retied
on. Colonel Smith's command was to leave Bluo
Mills for St. Joseph on the day after the battlo.
From Jefferson City.
THE SURRENDER OF MULLIGAN STILL DISPUTED—
TIIE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH A DEFEAT.
Jefferson City, Sunday, Sept. 22.— (Special
to the St. Lonis Republican.) —Nothing has been
received here corroborating the report of the sur
render of Lexington, and many here disbelieve it
totally.
Dr. Hughes, who left his home, forty-five miles
from Lexington ou Saturday night, and who is a
near neighbor of Capt. Magoffin (captured ky Got.
Marshall and taken to Lexington about a week
since) and has two sons in the rebol army, declares
that if the city hud surrendered on Friday Magof
fin’s family must have heard of it, and he himself
been apprised of the fact.
It Is supposed that if Lexington has been surren
dered, Gen. Priee will move down the river and,
unless checked or defeated, attack Booneville, and
then Jefferson City.
Judge Field, who arrived here yesterday, having
been a prisoner in Lexington, but released, says
Colonel Mulligan told him, ou last Tuesday eve
ning, that he could hold out, under any circum
stances, ior five or six days.
This oity is quiet, and no fears arc entertained
of tiie rebels, whatever may bo their force.

NOMINATION OF A UNION ticket jy citizens.
Lancaster, Sept. 23. —An immense mass meet
ing of citizens was held this afternoon, to nominate
a Union city ticket, without distinction of party.
It was one of the largest and most harmonious

tion of the judiciary, partisan politics and the
doctrine of rotation in offico should be deprecated.

and Abraham Peters, being two Bepublicans and
two Democrats. This is admitted to be the best
Assembly ticket ever nominated in this county,

United States Commissioner Holliday has given a
decision in the case of Kev. Sabin Hough, charged
with treason, ordering the defendant's release. This
opinion will not surprise those who witnessed the
trial, as the prosecution entirely failed to make out
a enso against the accused —tho only evidence
against him being tho fact that ho was in corre
spondence with the notorious Vallandigham. Any
one less disposed thun Mr. Holliday to do his duty
to the Government would, probably, have ordered
Mr. Hough's release on the spot.

Bate Southern News.
A Federal fleet has already been announced off
Fort Macon, on the North Carolina coast. It is
that their object is an attack upon the
fort. The Newbern (N. C.) Progress of the 10th
inst. says:
A report reached here from Fort Macon to the
effect that an officer of the garrison and a captain
of an English ship now lying in Beaufort harbor,
had visited the British man-of-war which has been
lying off at that place for several days, on the day
previous, ami learned from the captain of the
war vessel that tho Federal fleet would be at Bean
fort to attack Fort Macon on Friday night or Sa
turday morning. This naturally caused some little
fluEh of feeling on the part of our citizens, which,
however, was allayed on Saturday morning on the
arrival of the cars, by learning that no such occur
rence had happened.
Since writing the above we have been handed a
private letter from an officer of the fort, from
which we are permitted to make the following
extract:
“ I myself do not anticipate an attack here im
mediately, but have no doubt our turn will come
next. The garrison has been j>laeed under the
strictest discipline, and extensive preparations
have been made to resist an attack.
“ I assure you they will not find a Hatteras at
Fort Macon.
“ The .naval officers and marines who were sent
hero from Norfolk to instruct us in firing came
over this afternoon, and the commandant called
out our company to give them a specimen of our
proficiency in "the drill. They witnessed our ex
periments, and said it was as well done as any one
could do, and carried the marines hack without
putting them to the guns."
THE RICHMOND WHIG ON THE MINOR LETTER,
. The Richmond Whig closes a long article on the
Minor letter, published in The Press of yesterday,
as follows:
With respect to the particnlar complaints of our
Albemarle friend, there is no doubt but that they
are in many mouths, and demand the prompt and
vigorous attention of tho authorities. The sick are
not properly eared for—we hear of shocking cases
of neglect; the commissariat is not as it should be,
neither is the quartermaster’s department. But
this is to be alleged in extenuation : the creation
of an army of 150,000 to 200,000 men in six months,
and providing it with transportation, food, cloth
ing, arms, and hospital stores, is a mighty labor;
and where so many untried agents are necessarily
employed, many imperfections are unavoidable.
But it is the duty of the authorities to exert every
energy to insure the comfort of eur soldiers in
siekness and in health. It cheerfully surrenders
to the Government all its means, and it expects
that it will employ them diligently and wisely
and vigorously for the accomplishment of that end.
REIGN OF TERROR IN RICHMOND,
The Richmond papers are filled with accounts of
highway robberies, stabbings on the street, and bur
glaries. The Richmond Dispatch of the 13th, in
noticing them, enys 1
" Our readers may breakfast on horrors this
morning."
“ The frequent outrages now being perpetrated
upon our citizens cry aloud for a vigilant police.
Let the officers keep a sharp look-out for these dia
bolical wretches. It is probable that one band of
scoundrels have committed all of the astounding
crimes which, during the past week, have begun to
ruin the good name of our city. ”
The Whig, of the 19th instant, says :
The war, in drawing from our midst the most
turbulent and unruly of our population, has also
supplied their places with fit representatives of the
most dangerous and corrupt classes of other citios—
ruffians who would cut a throat for fifty cents, and
perpetrate the grossest outrages against law and
humanity, without the . slightest compunctions of
conscience."

Business on the Wharves. —A stroll along
the Delaware front, on a Sabbath afternoon, ap
pears to be a general pastime of a portion of our
citizens. The avenue along the wharves has been
much improved of late. Several piers are about
being extended, and the work upon a number of
others has been finished, while the avenue has been
considerably widened. No improvement has yet
"been made on the foot pavements, and pedestrian
ism in this neighborhood is not as pleasant as it
might be.
The prize schooners S?csa?i Jane and Mary
Wood are lying at Mead-alley wharf, lower Dela
ware avenue, and were visited, yesterday, by a
number of persons. It will be remembered that
the schooners were captured at Hatteras Inlet in
attempting to run the blocaade, and sent to this
port, where they will be sold by the Government at
public sale. They are not of much value in them
selves, having been in use six or eight years, but
will probably bring one thousand dollars each. Tbe
cargoes, which consist mostly of salt, iron, and
soap, cost, separately, from eight to ten thousand
dollars, and were partly owned by parties in Hali
fax, N. S. Captain Ireland, of the Susan Jane,
is a native of North Carolina, in which State his
family reside. He expresses himself as ardently
desirous that a settlement of our national difficulties
may be arranged, in order that he may return to
hishome.
The ship Cordelia, from Matanzaa, has unloaded
her cargo, consisting of a large number of hogs
beads ofmolasses, and will soon leave this port for
Londonderry, Ireland, freighted with grain. The
ship Esther, from Rio, has been lying at her
wharf.
During the past week three new schooners, two
of 106 feet, and one of 126 feet in length, were
towed to this port from the ship yards of IV. A.
Schrivencr and H. Deverty, at Milford, Delaware.
They are built for use in the coal business. One of
the schooners, lying below South-street wharf, not
being completed, the work of fitting her out, sup
plying her with masts, etc., will he commenced
this wceh. Her depth of hold is eleven feet, with
twenty-eight feet length of beam.
The firm of Clyde and Company, North Wharves,
are engaged in shipping hay, oats, Ac., for the use
of the Government. These shipments are made
for Washington via Georgetown, and number two
boat-loads per week, each load comprising from
one hundred and twenty-five to two hundred bales
of hay and about nine thousand bushels of oats.
The principal depot for tbe storage of these articles
ofmerchandise has been at Alexandria; but, in
consequence of tho accommodations at that place
becoming somewhat limited, the route of transporta
tion has been changed. The propeller New iori,
belonging to this line of boats, is now at Neafie &
Levy's ship yard, Kensington, undergoing repairs.
A new piston and pair of wheels are among the
improvements to the boat. She will be ready to
resume her trips during the present week.
The trade from Washington to this port consists
merely of green hides and tallow, there being but
small quantities of either of these articles brought
hither.
In this connection, we might state that a con
siderable quantity of hay is brought to this port
from Trenton, N. J., and from here shipped to its
destination, at Washington. The propeller Signet
made several trips to the former city during the
past week, and brought, each time, from ninety to
one hundred bßles.
The large, fine-looking steamship, known as the
City of Richmond, is lying idle at one of the
wharves below Arch street. This ship was at Rich
mond, Va., at the time of the breaking out of our
national difficulties, and was, with difficulty, rescued
from falling into the hands of the Secessionists.
Captain Mitchell, a resident of Norfolk, Va., where
he is at present located, was the captain of the
ship, and endeavored to detain her so that she
might be. seized by the State Government, which
design was frustrated by the daring of the first
mate, who, with assistance from the passengers,
got the ship under weigh, and, without molestation,
succeeded in reaching this place in April last.
The City of Richmond has made two trips to
Washington since that period, but we have heard
no rumors as to any likelihood of her being again
engaged for some time, She is owned partly in
this oity and by parties in the South.
The steamship Virginia, of a smaller model
than the above-named ship, lies at the next wharf
above. We understand her history is similar to
that above narrated.
Ist consequence of the tremendous throng
who participated in the festival given in aid of the
volunteers last Wednesday evening, the ladies hav
ing in charge the distribqtion of neoessaries for our
soldiers have wisely concluded to give another
fete this evening at Concert Hall. On the
previous occasion the hall was filled with light
hearts and happy faces, and those who feel pa
triotically disposed, as well as those who wish to
pass a pleasant evening, we would ask to assist
the ladles by lending their presence to the scene.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT ARRESTS.
The Exploits of a Philadelphia Detective and a
Government Official
INCARCERATION OF THREE DEALERS IN CONTRABAND.
Wc have been apprised for several days that im
portant arrests were about to take place, and on
Friday were fully informed of tho fact that two
citizens and a Baltimorean had boen taken in cus
tody , for furnishing information and munitions of
war to the Rebel Government.
New arrests being dependent upon secrecy, how
ever, we were debarred from making our informa
tion public, and now present the nnmos of the
guilty, withholding only those points which might
retard future movements of the Government.
Tim NAMES AND OCCUPATIONS OF THE offenders.
The names of the guilty persons are William Gil
christ and F. Wyatt, of Philadelphia, and Jas. M.
Haig, of Baltimore. The first named is a dealer
in razors and cutlery in Commerce street, below
Sixth, and the agent of the other two, who were
the active spirits in the matter. Both Gilchrist and
Haig were Englishmen, and both seem to have been
animated by purely mercenary motives. WyatL
lived in Sixth streot, near Wharton, and was a Vir
ginian by birth. Ho was associated with the iron
firm of Campbell A Co., North Water stroet, and
Was one of those mischievous characters whose sym
pathy with the South knew no devotion too danger
ous.
Haig conducted tho military trimming business
in Baltimore, but pretended extraordinary zeal [Vr
the Federal Government, and while sending muni
tions of war Southward, was, nt tho same time,
pleading for Government contracts at Washington.
He succeeded in getting n contract for hay, and in
tended to have shipped it from this port, in two ves
sels, the first to contain bales of bona fide hay, the
second to contain contraband goods within the bales.
Tho vessels were to procure clearances and proceod
together as far as Acquia Creek. At a signal, the
latter vessel was then to sail towards the shore,
while the hay vessel proceeded to Washington.
Haig and Wyatt contracted for goods for the Con
federates, and engaged Gilchrist to purchase pis
tols, cannon primers, etc., which he could readily
do, being previously known in the trade. Gilchrist
had sent about $5,000 worth of goods to naig when
detected.
TUP. MANNER OP TUB DETECTION
was conducted in this wise: On the 3th of Septem
ber, Gilchrist sent a package of five thousand can
non primers to the office of Adams’ Express, and
directed the porter to get a receipt in the name of
J. Thompson. Detective Police Officer Benjamin
Franklin interrogated the porter and learned that
Gilchrist was the actual shipper. Ho then took
possession of the box. Gilchrist was much seared
when intelligence of the seizure reached him, and
he at once, to put tho best face on the matter, went
to the office of Marshal Miliward, to whom he stated
that lie was secretly actiDg for the Federal Govern
ment and in communication with certain rebels,
for the purpose of entrapping them. Upon this,
the marshal, who previously had known nothing of
the matter, held a consultation with Franklin, and it
wasdccided to proceed against G ilchrist. Mr. Frank
lin had already intercepted a telegram and a letter
from Gilchrist to Haig, and bis first step in the mat
ter was to confront Gilchrist. He proceeded to the
fourth story of tho latter’s place of business, and
found 20,000 cannon primers, 50,000 boxes of caps,
and a large number of boxes of valuable anatomi
cal instruments for surgical use on the field of bat
tle. All of these had been bought by Gilchrist., and
were to have boen consigned, through Haig, to the
rebel Government. Mr. Franklin at once placed
the goods under bond, and told Gilchrist to move
them at his peril. The latter was still loud in pro
mises. He placed in Marshal Millward’s hands a
plan for fleecing his rebel friends. This was, sub
stantially, to proceed to Norfolk via Fort Monroe,
and procure orders for $200,000 worth of caps,
knives, Ac., with which money he was to return
and pay the Government onc-haif. The officers
listened to him seemingly in approval, and Gil
christ, under the cover of this supposed confidence,
went forward with his contraband schemes. The
officers were ever on his track, and, when he
chuckled in his sleeve, they had theirprivate laugh
likewise.
lIAIG AND WYATT,
Meantime, were under espionage. The latter had
fce«i seen with Gilchrist, and both were known
he in correspondence with Haig. Wyatt made no
secret- of his affiliation with the rebels, and openly
gloated over the accounts of patriot defeats, His
lady, we understand, went frequently to Rich
mond, having, through the disloyalty of a Federal
employee, passed through our lines. Her trunks
were large, and her visits were often, beyond
which we draw no inferences. It became neces
sary to draw llaig to -Philadelphia, and for this
purpose a Government official, name unknown,
was employed. The ruses which he employed are
said to have known no parallel in the histories of
Bow or Broome street. Suffice it to say that
In the end Haig came voluntarily to Phila
delphia, introduced his companion to Wyatt and
Gilchrist, and the fourth person plotted treason
with the trio in a manner at once refreshing and
interesting. Together they visited manufacturers
and laid in invoices of goods contraband, read the
New York News and late Charleston papers with
the greatest gusto, and drank in private bumpers
the credit 8f Davis and the renown of Beauregard.
Gilchrist, in the meantime, had been held in terror
by Detective Franklin, who compelled him to
give up the Adams' Express reoelpt, and who
quietly abstracted a lot of cannon primers from
the box aforesaid. These furnished him with
evidence whereby to convict Gilchrist.
THE ARRESTS,
Of the ingenious means resorted to by the un
known and tbe marshals and detectives, we are ’
B9t “t liberty to dilaty. The untatOlTU fc Mid to
be a genius at getting out of trouble, having been
to Richmond and Charleston since the day of Bull
Run, and having taken a glass of wine with Gen.
Beauregard. They frequently spoke of the impo
tence of Lincoln’s detectives, and swore very
roundly that some of them were blind, and all of
them dumb, all of which remarks were enjoyed by
a mysterious somebody in a closet, or under a bed,
or behind a screen. When the evidence was ripe,
the end was fulfilled by the arrest «f Haig at Fifth
and Chestnut streets, Detective Franklin having
ridden up with him from Reed street. When he
placed his hand upon Haig, the latter shook like a
guilty thing upon a fearful summons. He was
taken Into the Detective rooms, stripped and
searched, all the while shaking with fear.
“ Have you any drawers on?” said Mr. Frank
lin, when Hnig stood very nearly in a state of na
ture.
11 1 don’t wear ’em,” said Haig, although, at tho
same time, said drawers constituted his solo equip
ment. The unknown,” at this time, entered the
detcetive-room, much to Haig’s surprise. No
ticing the mistake, Mr. Franklin turned Bharply
upon him, and very gravely proceeded to strip and
to search him.
The “ unknown” and Haig meantime exchanged
winks, and in five minutes Haig was on his way to
a Moyamensing jail, while Franklin and the 11 un
known” were laughing and comparing notes. Tho
next arrest was that of Wyatt, who was found by
the marshal in company with the “unknown.”
Both were arrested and searched. Wyatt was loud
in appeals for his “friend,” and asked noquartor
for himself. The unknown was searched, as before,
and Wyatt parted from him with tears in his eyes.
The arrest of Gilchrist followed, and the trio
were placed in the same cell, with the prefatory
consolation that they had betrayed each other.
When tho officers left they bade fair to have a
pleasant time in the manner of the Kilkenny cats.
Gilchrist, the, most perjured and crafty of all, was
blanched and stammering. lie asserted that ho
had never taken the oath of allegiance, and was
not, therefore, culpable. In fact, ho desired to
appeal to the British consul for redress.
TO FORT LAFAYETTE.
Before taking tho prisoners to Fort Lafayette,
there were fears that their friends might endeavor
by means of legal writs, etc., to spirit them away.
To prevent this, the captives were kept closely im
mured. and taken away by. Marshals Steele and
Jenkins on Sunday evening, They were allowed
to clothe themselves properly, but went away fear
fully. The papers seized upon them have not been
all examined. At the house of Wyatt, letters from
leading rebels were found, and a pair of epaulets
for an officer in the Secession army. A group of
Secession faces, one of which was that of Wyatt,
was hung up in his room, and n lot of receipts, or
ders, etc., inculpating other suspected parties. Tho
goods found at Gilohrist’s will be sept to the
Arsenal, and when the letters are exnmined,
grave events will follow, of which the public will
be informed in time. The goods seized are worth
88,000. and the arrests have prevented the trans
mission of 810 000 worth of war munitions South,
The leading spirits in the arrests were Officer
Ben. Franklin and the Unknown. Mr. Franklin
has exhibited rare energy, fertility, and sagacity.
He had previously been prominent in several Go
vernment arrests. The United States marshal and
deputies likewise deserve credit. If we were at
liberty to extol the Unknown, we might develop
some stirring incidents, but enough is known to
make the matter certain that the guilty have been
detected and the land benefited.
The Naval Asstra.—Since thecommcnce
ment of tbe present war, a number of beneficiaries

was obtained for tho purpose of testing Captain Firz

The case was culled up in the Quarter Sussi .ns yester

then fonvanl them to Washington; all my men are uovr
in Philadelphia; the regiment has been raised under an
order from the United States Government.
District Attorney O’Brien now read the 12th section of
an act of the Legislature of May IG, 1861, as follows:
“ Section 12. That it shall not be lawful for any volun
teer soldier to leave tills Connmmwcaltli, us such, wiles*
he rdinH have been first accepted by the Governor t?l thbj
State upon the call or under tho requisition of the Pre.-i
-i-ntof the United States, made upon tho Governor di
rect for troops for tho service of the United States; and
no volunteer soldier shall be allowed by the Governor to
leave this State until fully armed and equipped for effec
tive service.”
This was followed by a reference to the 4th section of
the act of Congress of July 22, 1861, which provides*
among other tilings, that “the Governors of the States
furnishing volunteers under this act, shall commission
the field, staff, and company officers requisite for said
volunteers; but in cases where the State authorities re*
fuj?o to omit nr futmi.-di voluniMtu at tho call or on tha
proclamation of the President, and volunteers from such
States offer their services under such call or proclama
tion, the President shall have power to accept such ser
vices and to commission the proper field, staff, and com
pany officers.”
Mr. O’Brien Baid that he was prepared to fho'.v that
this was a Now Y'ork regiment: Pennsylvania had not
refused her quota of troops, but in fact has exceeded the
number allotted to her, and in the absence of a coramia*
sion, lie would 1. ok upon Captain Fitzwnter as an. irre
»poii*jbio jnßn m uniform. wUH ao right to rnltot men in

Captain Fit/water to Judge Ludlow: The regiment was
raised under a requisition of the United Status Govern
ment, and is now in active service; the regiment waste
he organised by recruiting companies in different Status;
the regiment was accepted by the United States Govern
ment without reference to the Governors of the States;
it was the first cavalry regiment accepted by the Go
vernment.
Mr. O’Brien explained to tho court that the two men
had so desire to leave the service, as they had. since
leaving Captain Fltzwaler* enlisted in Colonel Owcn‘<
regimenr. anti were anxious to go*
Judge Ludlow said it was difficult to go. behind the cer
tificate that these men were actually in the service of the
Government.
District Attorney O’Brien and United States District
Attorney Coffey suggested a postponement of the case.
This was agreed to by Judge Ludlow, who said that in
postponing the case, the counsel should understand that
the only difficulty on his mind was the production of the
certificate that these men were actually in tho service of
the United States Government. lie desired. If possible,
to prevent any apparent conflict between the State and
the General Government. While the act of Congress
seemed to mean that enclt State should control its own
volunteers, lie preferred to wait, in order that the com
manding officers at Washington should intimate some
opinion on the subject, so that there should be no con
flict. The case was postponed until Saturday.

THE MONEY MARKET.
Philadelphia, Sept. 23,1391 >
.City sixes were weaker this morning, selling at 91
for the new issue. Reading Railroad shares were
steady at 17 56-100 to 17£. The business was small,
and the market very dull.
In the money market there is more demand for
money at previous quotations, a small amount of
good paper finding its way into the market, under
tho increased business of the lost fortnight or three
weeks. The over-supply of capital, however, con
tinues, and there is no prospect of an early change
n the rates.
