The Flight of Breckinridge.
Then* is something peculiarly piquant til tllO
particulars of the flight of John C. Breckin
nwox from the loyal portions of Kentucky,
which are published in the account of that
CVctil , given by the Louisville Journal. Seek
ing shelter and concealment behind a de
spised negro slave, as he sat in a carriage which
conveyed him for the present to a place of
safety, the only additional ppotuuliuu upon
which he appeared to rely at the outset of his
journey was such as lm supposed would be
furnished by a company of Secession “ Homo
Guards,-'-' who hud recently stolen arms de
signed and purchased for tlm defence uf tlio
State, with the intention of using them in a
savage war against it. What an ignominious
position is this for ono who lately held the
second office in the gift of the American peo
ple, and who, a year ago, was a prominent can
didate for the Presidency! During the canvass
of 1860 a parallel was frequently drawn between
the ex-Vico President and Aaro.v Burk.. who,
like him, had enjoyed the second honors of the
Republic, and Riming its highest station almost
within his grasp, had proved a traitor to the
generous party which had adored and elevated
him; had made the first practical attempt to
establish a secession conspiracy in this country,
and had been finally compelled to seek safety in
flight from the officers of justice who sought
to arrest him for treason. This parallel has
been greatly strengthened by recent events,
but the difference between tlio two is that
liusn was infinitely tlio least guilty. A year
ago if seemed harsh and unjust to Biieokin
itiDCE to compare him with Burr. Now it
seems unjust to the memory of Blur to say that
his career affords a parallel to that of Brkck
txnißCE. Thu formin' was the most gifted
and the least infamous; lie did much moro to
benefit the American people, and much less to
injure, them, than his modern prototype.
Kentucky, no doubt, owes her unliappy po
sition to-dnv as much to the influence and
counsels of Jons C. Breukinkuiur as to tlioso
of any other living man. Had 1m not given
aid and comfort to the enemies of his country,
and not endeavored to rally a party in their
support, it is scarcely possible that tluiy would
have dared to invade his hative State. Ilad
he resisted the blandishments of tlio traitors a
year ago, their schemes would probably never
have been attended with evon partial and
temporary success in any considerable portion
of the country. Had he been as loyal as ho
was ambitious, as devoted to the Union as he
was to the desperate conspirators who made
him their confidant and champion, he might
have saved the lives of thousands who will fall
victims to the war, saved millions of treasure,
and earned a position in the history of our
country as glorious and honorable as tho one
he now occupies is disgraceful and igno
minious.
The Reason Why.
The London Gazette, of September 10th,
contains an extract of a despatch from Lord
Lyons to Earl Bussell, dated Washington,
August 10, enclosing a copy of a notion which
appeared in tho newspapers of that dato, to
the effect that no person would bo allowed to
leave or land in the United States without a
passport after a reasonable time had elapsed
for it to become known In the country from
which such person might proceed. Lord
Lyons complains that he had received no official
notice of this order. The Liverpool Daily Post,
of September lith, noticing this complaint,
says ; “It is evident that our .Ambassador at
Washington is not on friendly terms with the
Government there. Amongst the phpers seized
cm Mr. Mure, or Muir, (for it is distraeiingly
printed both ways) wns a despatch for Earl
Bussell from Mr. Buitcn, the consul at Charles
ton. Mr. Seward did not know exactly what to
do with it, and called upon Lord Lyons to help
him out of the difficulty. But his lordship
stems to have received his commmicafions in a
had spirit.”
Lord Palmerston’s special organ, the Morn
ini’ Post comments upon Mr. Seward
thu,* ; “ This is most uncivil and disrespect
ful act , and we infer that it is to be attributed
to the extremely hostile views which Mr.
Seward lias always entertained towards Eng
land—feelings which arc not likely to be
mollified by the freedom of speech which pre
vails in this country, and which may have some
influence, even in the Northern Slates, unless
Mr. Seward should follow up his passport sys
tem by prohibiting the importation of English
newspapers.-' 5 Let us see -where. the in
civility and want of respect are really
f-hargcaMe.
Mem was arrested on August l ltli. Mr.
Seward would hare had his papers on tho
.isth, and, most probably, lost not a day iu
n,skins Lord Lyons to examine Hungh's de
spatch to Lord Russell —to see if it were what
U professed to he. « Lord Lyons,'' wrote Mr.
W. H. Russell, “declined to do any thing of
the ior/ *’ —declined it, we dare say, in such
a brusque and rough manner that whim, n few
days later, Mr. Seward made tile rule about
passports, he, in turn, declined making any
previous announcement of it to the imcourte
ons British ambassador who had attempted to
snub him in Muir’s case. AY e wonder whether
Lord Lyons communicated all the circiun
tfances to tlio British Government. If ho
did, his own conduct would explain that of
Mr. Seward.
The Liverpool Post says: “ A change in our
arrangeenents at Washington appears inevitable,
and if will he for the interests of all that it he
'not long delayed .” It is impassible, if the
British Government want to continue a show of
neutrality, that Lord Lyons can he continued at
AYashinglon. No doubt his Lordship would
be more at homo and more comfortable at Rich
mond.
The York Gazette, the organ of the Breck
inridge party, advocates what it calls the Be
mocratic ticket in that county, after a fashion
peculiar to its school. AYe have read, the last
number of the Gazette with some care, and do
not find a single article honestly denunciatory
of the robbers and fiends in the Southern
States, now taking the lives of bur soldiers,
burning the property of. the Union men,
and expelling thousands from heretofore
happy homes. On the contrary, abuse of
tin- Administration, attacks upon : all those
who advocate the Union ticket, labored
efforts to make all the troops Demo
crats who sympathize with the Breckinridge
traitors, constitute the staple of its editorials.
The platform of the Gazette contains a decla
ration in favor of retrenchment and reform
in flic expenditure of the public moneys, the
reduction of the State and county taxes to the
lowest possible rate, and a protest against all
frauds upon our gallant soldiers, “whether in
damaged clothing, rotten blankets, wooden-
Solcd shoes, and unhealthy rations;” and
also a demand that “ the freedom of speech ami
the freedom of the press must never be surren
dered." The freedom of speech and freedom
of the press here contended for is freedom to
attack the Government, to calumniate all men
K-ally in favor of tho war, and to avoid every
thing like' proper denunciation of the enemy.
Is it not monstrous that, in an hour when the
lives and fortunes of millions of human beings
are dependent upon a united and vigorous de
fence of our flag and our Constitution, the
men who led in the overthrow of tile Demo
cratic party laßt year should be audacious
enough to continue to use the name of Demo
cracy, as if to consummate iu blood the ca
tastrophe of which they were the authors ?
At a second meetino of the Judicial Con
vention of the People’s Party, which was
called together, yesterday, on account of the
witlillrttwa! of Amos ERKHtS, Judge Stroud
was nominated, by an almost unanimous vote.
Thus the Convention of the People’s Party
aad the Union Convention concur in recom
mending the whole old bench to the support
cS the citizens of Philadelphia,, and there is
iittle doubt of its re-election.
Volunteers
fV'.isiiro ha- been cast, directly and in
directly, npc-a- such of our Volunteers as re
turned homo after three months' service. We
confess Hud we have been uuablo to join in
Ibis condemnation. They did their duty well.
They obeyed orders. They submitted to dis
cipline, They went through as many drills
as were thought necessary. They put up
with the hard fare and many unaccus
tomed discomforts of camp life. Not one of
them was reported as a deserter. In the field,
they fought bravely. They returned, as they
had loft, with their honor unsullied.
Most of tlio three-months Volunteers actu
ally made great sacrifices to join in the defence
of that liberty which was so dearly purchased,
th days gone by, by the blood of citizen-sol
diers like themselves. They left their various
avocations to join in what Shakspeare calls
“ the pomp, pride, and circumstance of war,”
though the reality has not very much dignity
or romance. They quitted tho practice of
their professions, they left the desk anil the
c-ountcr, they abandoned their trades, they left
the future unregarded, these brave and pa
triotic inch, in Order to place their true hearts
and strong arms at the command of thoir coun
try. No one can say how much those men
perilled and sacrificed by thus-promptly going
away front thuirliomt'fq at the call of fluty and nil
the generous instinctandimpulseofpatriotism.
They shared in the dangers and in tho casu
alties of the march and the bivouac, the night
watch and the battle. They served out their
fuff time- —hinny of the companion cheerfully
remaining longer—and returned borne, where
they were received as good citizens and good
soldiers. That they should have their pa
triotism and courage challenged, by stay-at
homo critics, Certainly is what they did not do
serve.
Many of the three-months men have already
joined the regular army after a few weeks’
l est, and their experience, short ns it is, makes
them valuable men in the army. Many are
detained by the necessity of settling up tlioi r
business, which, as might be expected, has
suffered in their absence. Many find it im
possible, with due regard to tlie interests of
their families, often solely dependent iipeii
iheir work of head or hand, to leave them
again. Of the Volunteers from this city alone,
we venture to affirm that, by the first of Octo
ber, about one-half—-and those including most
of the best men—will again bo in arms for
their country.
Mr. Bussell lias informed liis employers—
the Hotii.schii.ds and other money-lending
owners of the Times —that the Volunteers in
thiii country are not to he depended on—dim
inference being that tlio English Volunteers
are. At the dinner given at Dover on tlio
-Bth of last month, when Palmerston was in
stalled in the office of Lord Warden of tho
Cinque Port*, his Lordship had the candor to
report differently. “ Our cousins in Ameri
ca,” lie said, “as individual men,are as brave
as any that tread the surface of the earth.”
All wanting, in his judgment, to make them
the most efficient soldiers, was that sufficient
discipline and training which would make each
man feel as much confidence in his comrades
as he lias iu himself. Truly said ; but it was
unfair to expect that three-months volunteers,
wholly new to arms and military life, could
have the discipline and training of tho expe
rienced troops of Europe.
Lord Palmerston went on to calculate the
British volunteers, who have had nearly two
years’ organization, os amounting to 170,000
men, of whom about 70,000 were capable, by
good drilling, of efficiently taking part with the
troops of the line. Our own three-months
men proportionably proved themselves, in tho
Held, not inferior to our regular army, and,
therefore, on Lord Palmerston’s own allow
ing. are superior to the organization of which
his country is so proud.
One great difference must be pointed out
between the Volunteers of America and Eng
land— independent of the fact tlmt iu one
country the men have iiad military experience
in the field, while in tlio other no man has smelt
powder, except as Field Marshal Prince Albert
lias, at a review or on a target day—is, that with
us the connecting link is Patriotism, whereas
with them it is a mixture of Loyalty anil
Display. In this country, the military spirit is
on the increase. A great victory would be the
bunt recruiting officer our country could have.
In England, the Volunteer system appears,
like a medlar, rotten ere 'tis ripe.
An article, on the English Volunteers, in
the September number of Temple liar, (an
English magazine of great merit,) commences
with these words
“ It is rather an ominous sign that in the second
year of its existence the National Riflo Association,
after all that it has effected for the benefit of tho
Yoluutcors, should be compelled to make an earnest
appeal for tho FutitL ueeeeaary to keep it in opera
tion. It appears to have reached a very peculiar
and unpleasant stage of its existence, when oil men
speak woll of it, but few subscribe.”
I’ifle-sliooting, from the emulation and ex
citcinont it creates, Ims been the great feature
of ail Volunteer Associations in England—par
ticularly since Queen Victoria stamped it
with her approval, last year, by pulling a bit of
string, attached to the trigger of a rifle, (care
fully put in proper position beforehand, so as
to render success certain,) which dischargoil
a hall that hit a target. Unless the public
subscribe largely, down drops riflo-shooting
competition and a dark cloud falls on the Vo
lunteer system in England. It is different here
with US. The perils of the country and tin;
necessity of maintaining the Constitution have
united to create a military spirit among us
which, if occasion require, will give us a mil
lion nun in arms. Ail citizens are willing to
contribute,' in person or in purse, and assu
redly our brave three-months volunteers, who
have obtained military experience iu an incre
dibly short time, learning discipline literally
before the cannon’s mouth, ought to be pre
ferred for commissions in all future organiza
tions for tlio punishment of Treason and the
defence of tho Republic.
Tlie Defences of Philadelphia.
Tlio reconnoissance of tho Susquehanna,
now being prosecuted by an cflicicnt engineer
ing corps, is a work of grave importance. This
is the only river that could impose any conside
rable obstacle to an advance in this direction ;
and although tho probability of an invasion of
Pennsylvania appears remote, it is neverthe
less our duty to be prepared for any emergency
that a reckless and rapacious enemy may force
upon us. Invasion and rebellion, wore both long
ago contemplated by tho South. They have
made inroads upon Kansas and lowa. Missouri,.
Kentucky, and Maryland, neither of which
seceded from the Union, have been partially
overrun, and tho zealots at Richmond and
Charleston have directed the avarice of the
Rebel regiments to the booty and beauty that
await them in Philadelphia. AVliat a day may
being forth' upon the Potomac, no one can
say. AVith every confidence in our arm}", and
the industry and ability of General McClei.lan,
wc have yet the mournful examples oi Bull
Run, Springfield, and Lexington, to make all
disaster possible. At any rate, a duo pre
paration for defence north of the Potomac
cannot he needless. The Rebels, anticipating
the contingency of defeat, have led us in tiiis
manner by planting batteries from Munson's
Hill to Manassas Junction, and by such judi
cious preparation have manifested their far
sighted generalship.
Without tho fortifications at Alexandria,
into which to retire, our army must haVe re
treated beyond the Potomac on the 21st of
July. By entrenchment within entrenchment
tho rebels reclaimed their first repulses, and
made what should liavo been defeat a tacit
victory. Let no accusation of fear in our
final 'success prohibit our people from antici
pating all contingencies. And a rocoimois
sanco of tho river Susquehanna, with those
parts of the bay and of the Chesapeake Canal
that divide us from the Maryland peninsula,
will lie of who in all cases to come, whenever
tho city shall he imperilled by intestine or
foreign foes. With the Susquehanna between
Washington., and Howe, the fatal battlo of
Chadd’s Ford, which lost Philadelphia, might
'have been avoided; and if Beaurhuard,
profiting by any revulsion of the Union amis,
should suddenly push across Maryland and
pass the same stream, our greatest natural de
fence would bo given up, and we would be
compelled to meet a sanguine and desperate
enemy in fair fight upon the open plaius of
Lancaster or Chester.
The corps, now embarked upon the Susque
hanna, are sounding the river along its entire
channel, locating the fords and bridges, noting
tho bluffs and inland hills, and exploring the
tributary streams. They intend to accomplish
their work so effectually'that future reconnois
sances of the same country will be unnecessary,
ami the means of defence that they now point
out will he of use to ihe city for all wars to
come. There arc no intermediate streams be
tween the Susquehanna and Schuylkill that
could be defended at odds. The adjacent
country affords few fastnesses of forest and
high hills. There are in Southeastern Ponn
syivania only rolling farm lands and fer
tile plains, upon which the invaders could
forage, and picture boyond them a coun
try more beautiful still for rapacity and
courage to enjoy. While the Government,
therefore, is straining every nerve to guard
the passage of the Potomac, it is right
that Philadelphia should study the avenues of
the Susquehanna. Our preparations for de
fence have been made slowly, and parsimo
niously. Wo shall have next week, for the
first time, a battery of artillery, and our mu
nicipal guard of eight thousand men is sadly de
ficient of cavalry. The Delaware forts are in
extremely feeble condition, and a raid from tho
sea would probably be fatal at any time witliiu
the next two months. How European Govern
ments—always prepared for war—may finally
regard this struggle is involved in doubt, but
a proper attention to both our land and sea
approaches will cost little and do no harm.
While two hundred and forty-two guns aro
mounted in tho different forts of New York
liarhor, but fifty guns and two feeble forts con
stitute tlie defences of Philadelphia. It may
ho that a small outlay at this time will avoid
much mortification mid oxptmso in the near fu
ture. Wo regard, therefore, this reconnois
sance as second in importance to no enterprise
that tlio authorities liavo undertaken. It is
made in obedience to that wisest of Stale max
ims, “ Iu time of peace prepare for war.”
LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, September 27. ISfil
If there are any who still doubt that the
wav in which tho G eneral Government is en
gaged, is not only a war to maintain tho au
thority of that Government, but to put down
a rebellion based upon tlie most aristocratic
and tyrannical assumptions, they have but to
weigh the violent invectives against our
country, of the loading European monarchists.
Nearly all the foreign ministers at this post
have been, and still are, in sympathy with tlio
rebellion- It is related that when the news of
the battle of Bull Run was received at a con
vivial party which thov attended, they did not
hesitate to exult in tho most vociforous
manmov over tho defeat of the Federal arms.
Baron Rtoeokel, tho head of tho Russian lega
tion, was especially prominent in the utter
ances of his Secession sympathies, though I
understand that ho has somewhat modified his
opinions sinco tho reception of the letter of
liia master, the Emperor Alexander, throwing
tho weight of tho greatest Power of Western
Europe on the side of the Government of the
United States. Mr. Russell is a fair exponent
of tlio hostilo feelings of Lord Lyons. Mer
eier, the French minister, is probably tlio
most prudent of tho three, and yet lie is
classed among the rest as having earnestly
advocated the cause of tho Southern rebels.
A late number of tho London Star sets forth,
in a very strong light, tlie deep-scaled feeling
of the English aristocracy against the cause of
American freedom, and partially explains Hie
motives and objects of the London 'Times and
London Post. The following extract is moro
than significant:
“Tho Missouri proclamation may bring tlio
Federal cause nearer than ovor to tlio sympathies
of the British people. Yet aro our rulors by no
means to ho trusted. The language of their or
gans —the organs of the rating classes of this
country—is that of a spirit malevolently ho--
iite to the North. They magnify every difficulty
in the way o f reunion—exaggerate every excess
of popular feeling—dwell upon and distort every
disagreeable necessity of the crisis. In vain
do we loot through their columns for a spark of
just or generous feeling towards men—and those
our near kinsmen—who have been overtaken by
a inmcuduns t trier gency.and are, fretting them,
selves with courage and fortitude, to bear up
against it. The South, on the contrary, is
treated with the tender consideration of friends
and relations whose faults and errors are those
of noble blond, and whose cause, though not
stainless, is honorably sustained. Tlio following
esquisito sentence was published yesterday by an
aristocratic and ministerial contemporary : ‘lf
tho Secession movement were free from the taint of
slavery, a great obstacle in the way of its recognition
by foreign Powors, and especially by this country,
would be removed.’ IVas there ever such virtue
in an ' if!’ That which is delicately called a
! taint, 1 nil the world outside Belgravia knows to
be tho body and soul, tho flesh, blood, and spirit of
the Secession movement. Its leaders have avowed,
with a blasphemous perversion of sacred ima
gery, that slavery is the corner-stone of the Con
federacy—the corner-stone which tho builders of tho
l.ininn would liun li.-ivc rejected, and did ut least en
doaYor to conceal. Slavery has boon tho ono solitary
but all-pervading element of unsonndnoss and dan
ger itrtho composition of American sooioty. ft has
baffled all endeavors to confine it within a terri
torial boundary. It has pushed its arrogant proten
fiopg to tho very limits of tho Union, and beyond—
claimed to pursue its fugitives even to beneath
the folds of the British, flag, and to imprint its
devilish foot upon the soil o f Mex ico and Cuba
ns welt as of Kansas and California. It had
become the irrcconciluble foe of civil and religious
freedom, and, indeed, of civilizod society. The
men who aro now howling and whining about the
tyranny of tho Fodcral Government, and the bru
tality of Federal mobs, are the same men who
countenanced and even instigated, the suppres
sion of every Abolitionist newspaper, the
lynching of Abolitionist ailvoeates, the viola
tion oj correspondence suspected of Abolition
ist sentiments, and the prohibition of hi hies anti
tracts within the pah of negro settlemen ts. The
English sympathizers with these apologists of
barbarism now taunt us, through tlio columns
of fashionable journals, with the ‘practical result
of American democracy ’ as no better than the
reign of King Bomba. The extravagai'ce of the.
absurdity indicates a proportionate depth of
malignity. None but those who profoundly hate
the liberty that is for the moment obscurod could
thus madly revile the men who hare drawn swords
in defence of the veiled idol. And wo may ho suro
that they who thus bespatter the image they pro
fess to reverence would, if they dared, make close
'alliance with its sacrilegious assailants.”
But liotv will our adopted citizens construe
this aristocratic solicitude for tlio cause of the
Southern rebellion ? The millions who have
fled to tiffs land for refuge from oppression
will not be ahxiotis to strike hands against tho
Government that has given them n refuge and
an asylum, and to range themselves by the side
of tlio men who persecuted them iu their
fatherlands. The Irish and tlio Gormans will
see iu tho course of the Lundvn Times, tlie
London Post, Lord Palmerston, and indeed all
tlie oracles and moutli-pieccs of aristocracy,
tho best assurance that they can have no inte
rest save in an earnest and vigorous support
of the movement to preserve our Union. Hap
pily, the Germans, as a mass, have taken their
position. Always hated by the Southern ty
rants, because of tlieir large and liberal ten
dencies to freedom, they liave now a new in
centive to patriotic duty. It is a circumstance
highly creditable to this great element of our
population, that, tip to this time, with rare
exceptions, all tho German leaders havo vo
lunteered in defence of the American flag.
And how of tlie Irish ? The insidious efforts
of tho Southern demagogues to excito them
against Mr. Lincoln have beon dismal failures,
and even those who, for reasons best known to
themselves, were disposed to hesitate, cannot
now withhold tlieir best energies from the Go
vernment in view of the position assumed by
tlieir British enemies.
And so John C. Breckinridge has followed
his eldest son, Cabcl, into tho traitors’ army.
The young bird flew first, and although his
fathev protested bitterly that lie had gone
against orders, and that he would speedily fie
recalled, we now find tho parent of the flock
following the example of his offspring. 1 have
never doubted that this would bo tho end of
the career of Major Breckinridge. Tho won
der to me has always been that lie either would
not see where ho was to land, or refused
frankly to anticipate the fate which has at last
befallen him. He ought to be received with
high honors by Jefferson Davis, for certainly
he remained long enough in the councils of the
nation to strengthen the cause which he has
now' finally recognized by attaching himself
to it personally. AYill lie remain in liis own
State to act as a military leader of Kentucky,
and as against Kentuckians ? If so, he will
then enjoy the doubtful pleasure of assisting to
reap tho bloody harvest of his own example and
Ids own doctrines! What now becomes of
his plea in favor of the Federal Constitution,
and of the rights of the States I The consti
tuted authorities of his own State have de
clared against the revolutionists, and yet, he
refuses to recognize this authority, oven when
Magoffin, however reluctantly, yields to it,
and assists those who come in to invado it, for
the purpose of subjugating it. Mr. Breckin
ridge, at the special called session of Con-,
gross, uttered many things that were accepted
by his former followers in tho free States. He
talked to thorn as one who desired to avert the
calamities of war, und put into their months
many injurious arguments against what fie
called the unconstitutional usurpations of the
Executive. He was admonished, and they
were forewarned, that the only effect of these
theories would bo to disgrace him, and to da
mage ilium. Tho prophecies made in re
gard to himßolf he has himself fulfilled.
Now, what will those do in the free States
who believed in the sincerity of his
professions, and printed his arguments, under
the guise or u superfine desire to protect the
Constitution from overthrow-? Do they sti!

[From our Special Corrimpmulont.J
Washington, Sept. 20, 1801.
W’lnU Is your idea of a Provost Marshal T Mino
has always been something terrible. A Minotaur
in tho labyrinth." of treason to devour unsuspooting
Secessionists; an Argus, whose hundred eyes no
lyre can lull to sloop: or, if you like it hotter, n
Brinreus, for we are told that when treason me
naced tho throne of Jupiter the hundred-handed
giant ascended the heavens, and so terrified the
conspirators by his fiorco and threatening looks that
they desisted. You ncTer see a Provost Marshal;
ybiif Steve?hefir him; but his eyesore everywhere.
Treason has been whispered in the morning, and
the traitor is in Fort Lafayette before night, on his
warrant, no has not a particle of gallantry, either,
for when certain very agreeable ladies of this
town inot over the tea-table to continue their cor
respondence with their friends and adorers in
Richmond, th# Provost Marshal quietly took
possession of thoir letters and placed a guard
over thoir dwellings. Ho haunts treason liko a
shadow, and lies tho rirangest way of going down
to Hie bottom of people’s trunks, of oponing peo
ple’s bureau drawers, of discovering false floors in
carriages, of dragging to tho light quoor docu
ments, anil maps, and private conimuninKlions in
tended for th? edification of J. Davis & Co, Horo,
in Washington, you cannot escape him. Ho puts
out tho fires, arrests disorderly citizens, and gots
into the private onlranco of dram-shops and gam
bling saloons. Ho lias spoiled many a good drink‘
and broken up many a gamo of faro and raonto.
Ho is tho natural foe of antlers, and hits n singular
fashion of going down to the bottom of wagons and
exploring suspicious barrels. A day or two sinoe
I saw a wagon-load of broad going across tlio Long
Bridge. Bread is an innocent article, hut present
ly a corporal mounted behind, and senthis bayonet
burrowing among tho loaves. A moment more and
the loaves were gently heaped on one side and a
dozen kegs of beer were roiled into the quarters.
By order of the Provost Marshal!
Everybody knows that our Provost Marshal is
Brigadier General Andrew Portor. Everybody
bore calls him “ Andy,” and so would I. hut he is
amilitary man, and I don’t want to bo too familiar. 1
don’t see how they ever made him a Provost Mar
shal, or rather the representative of so much awo,
power, terror, and eunning. Ho hae one of those
kind, genial, heneat fASeg which you make up in Lan
caster county, and is just such aman as you would
gladly accept as an escort home if you met him on
a dark night. He is not a bit classical—nor would
yon mistake him for eithor an Argus or a Minotaur,
or anything heathenish or fabulous ; hut a gallant,
good fellow, who loves his country, hates traitors,
and is the natural foo of cowardice and treachery.
Never shirking a duty, never walking away from
danger, with the conscience of this fight dcop in
his soul, a type and representative of your genuine
Pennsylvania gentleman—this is Andrew Porter,
And out of this man thoy havo made a Provost
Marshal.
1 streot, roar Sixteenth, is a busy square. It
is in a beautiful part of the city—tlio West End of
Washington—and was very fashionable, no doubt,
before people neglected fastffuns for tho fight.
Within a furlong of the White House, an easy stroll
from tho Departments, with millionaires and fo
reign ministers around, it is in the centre of the
wealth, intelligence, and I may say the dignity of
W'afbiiisteti, In an elegant mansion tho Provost
Marshal has his office. It was the homo of that
insidious and disagreeable Secessionist, Philip
Clayton, of Georgia, tho partner of Howell Cobb,
and the chief executioner at the proscriptivo guil
lotine of Mr. Buchanan. A sentinel patrols before
tlio door, impatient steeds af« constantly awaiting
their owners, military men always coming and
going, crowds of civilians who “ have business in
Virginia,” women whoso errand is to bog mercy
for somo culprit now musing over his treason
in the civil prison on Thirteenth street—all
■lasso* and conditions, nuvioug travellers, Ccri-e.-
pondents of country newspapers, loungers, and
tradesmen. One man wants to write a description
of the campß for tho Buncombe Gazette, and de
sires a pass; another has a friend whom ho would
like to seo; yrDUo a father has a child at Bull’s
Cross; Roads. A woman, with a market-wagon, who
supplies vegetables from her farm near Stutter's
Hill, wants to go to Alexandria. She is n lively
lady, tells her opinions in tho most public manner,
and seems anxious to open a conversation with tlio
sentry. I'edlers and vendors, who wish to “ sell
crackers and cheese to tho soldiers;” dark men,
with olive faces, and tiiat cunning eye and obse
quious uir, which toll their nationality. Wherever
money is to be made you will find tho Hebrew—
and every day wo seo lihn hvre, undergoing tlio
hardships of tho field, and tho perils of tho fight,
for tho emoluments of a camp-fellow. The tide
constantly swells and passOß away. Now faces,
flock along, and old faces, after waiting impatiently
for au hour or two, at length obtain a hearing, and
go away satisfied.
Seated in his office, tlio Provost Marshal is com
pelled to onduro tho importunities of this tumul
tuous and unonding throng. Every caso is quietly
considered, however, and in a few moments tho ap
plicant is dismissod. Stmtegom is of little avail
with Andrew Porter. He sooms to know a liar by
instinct, and ho has lies enough lofathom in all con
science. Tho rulo prohibits any man from crossing
the river who has no business in Virginia, and many
a ruso is contrived to evade this law. Stories arc
invented, and falsehoods told t but it is ruroly that
oitbor the invention or tlio talc misleads tho judg
ment of tho Provost Marshal.
I liko to stroll into tho West End of an after
noon, when tho weather is not too warm, and hare
spent somo pleasant and interesting hours in the
neighborhood of tho Marahnl’a offina. You sen hu
man nature in Its varied, singular, and most in
teresting phases ; and then, again, it is something
of a feeling to know that there is always a clianoo
of running against some of our great men—for
around hero the greatest soldiers and civilians in
habit. I am something of a horo-worshipper, and
if it is a weakness to have gods of your own to
adore, lot me own it frankly. I would givo a
good part of my possessions to see Garibaldi, and
if over I go to Paris it will bo to have a glimpse
of Louis Napoleon. I feel suro that both of them
would disappoint mo, but still, it would be worth
a rido across the doop to have such a disappoint
ment.
There aro so many great men hore that you begin
to have an idea that everybody is groat. Angels
have been entertained unawares in the olden time,
and I have seon an orderly sergeant stop the car
riage of a Cabinet minister, and ask him to carry a
bundle of letters to the post-office, “if he was
going that way.” You can’t go by appearances.
The shabbiest hat I have seen in town was worn by
a statesman of high position and great fame,—while
a certain Distinguished Personage is generally at
tired in clothing which would excite tho disdain of
your Chestnut-street dandies. Some of our groatest
men aro the least protending. Do you sco that
middle-sized man, with the piercing gray oyo, tho
light moußtache and imperial, wearing a plain blue
military blouse, and with common foraging cap
pushed back on his head? He wears no insignia of
rank, but you know he is a soldier, and would
probably pass him for a junior lieutenant of in
fantry. lie goos rapidly along, with a little dash
in his manner, and ealmly smokes a cigar as he
talks to a gray-boarded officer, who listens atten
tively. The young officer is General George B.
McClellan, while his listoncr is Colonol A'an Viiot,
of his staff.
AVo leave tho Provost Marshal’s with its strango
attraction, lint there aro many other things to be
eeen, and another time wc may see them.
J. K. Y.
Among tho various institutions that have been
most assiduouß in distributing religious reading
among our brave soldiers, none has taken a more
active part than our own Philadelphia Bible Soci
ety. The latter has already presented copies of
the New Testament to more than thirteen thousand
volunteers that havo left our city. As this is addi
tional to their ordinary work—which is to furnish
tho Scriptures gratuitously to mission schools, sea
men, immigrants, and the indigent of Philadel
phia—tho expenses of tho Society are thereby ma
terially increased, and as it is supported entirely
by voluntary contributions, wo have been request
ed to mention this fact, in order that persons fa
vorable to this now enterprise may havo tip oppor
tunity of aiding it by their contributions.
The American Tract Sooioty, Now York, have,
within a few weeks past, through their agency at
St. Louis, supplied the soldiers, in the barracks and
hospitals in that city, and in thirty-five regiments,
under General Fremont, with more than half a
million pages of their publications, and the chap
lains report that the reading of them by the soldiers
U very general, and Is to many a source of comfort.
It is to ho hoped that the good work of supplying
this class of reading will not be suffered to languish
for want of moans.

across into Maryland. The navigation of tho rivor
is virtually closed. Tho ting-ship Yankee. Com

state of affairs to tho Navy Department Mer
chant vessels whioh arrived here report that thoy
have been fired upon, but bave escaped without
sustaining any serious injury, by olosoly hugging
the Maryland shore.
The schooner William Allen, Captain Cram
mor. of New York, loaded with hay, has arrived at
Alexandria. Sho was fired nt twelve times from
iho battery at Occoquan crook. Two shells entered
hor deck-load, and another siruek her cabin, for
tunately not exploding. They were firet] ff?in g
.'lO-pound rifled catmen. There are circumstances
leading to tho belief that this cannon was captured
at Bull Run.
Captain Crammor reports that the steamer Al

Head, this side of Occoquan oreok, being afraid to

thrown, striking ovor and around hor, without,

It is thought by officers attaahed to tho Potomac
flotilla that there aro other forts or batteries be
tween Freestone Point and Acquia Crook, but as
jot they are concealed by trees, which are thick
along tlio shore, Tbo policy seems to be to first
build the offensive works, and thon clear the woods
in their front. This view of the Seoession opera

from Occoquan that tho rebel troops are posted in
considerable force at other places between Occo

arc building forts and drawing cannon thither.

IMPORTANT FROM ST. LOUIS.
LETTER FROM GEN. FREMONT.
iSt. Louis, Srpt. 27.—The following will appear
in the Jlrviorrat to-morrow:
« Just before leaving the city, General Fremont
wrote a letter to a friend in New York. Wo have
suceeoded in obtaiuiug a copy, which, as It relates
to public affairs, and possesses, at this time, great
interest, wo commit no impropriety in laying it be
fore our roadora;
My Lear Sir: I leave at 8 o’clock in tho morn
ing, and send you this hurried note in the midst of
the last arrangements before srarliug.
We havo to contest w jtb ftn enemy Laving no
posts to garrison, ami no linos of transportation to
defend or guard : whoso wholo force can bo turned
at will to any point; while wo havo from Leaven
worth and Fort Scott to Paducah to keep protected.
I wish to say to yon that, though tho position la
difficult, I am confident that I am component to it,
and also to the enemy in the field.
I am not able, at the same time, to attend to tho
enemy at home. It is a shame to Iho country that
46 officer going to tho field, bis life in his hands—
solely actuated by the desire to servo his country,
and win for himself its good opinions, and with
no other object—should be destroyed by a system of
concentrated attacks utterly without foundation.
Charges aro spoken of when there are none t<> Lc
made.
What is tho object of tho repetition of these
falsehoods, except to familiarize tho public mind
to tho idea that something is wrong ? Already our
credit, which was good, is shaken in consorjuencc
of tho newspaper intimations of my being removod.
Money is demanded by those furnishing supplies.
To defend myself would require the time that
is necessary to, and belongs to my duty against the
enemy. If permitted by tho country, this state of
things will not fail to bring a disorder,
I ant an exponent of a part of the forae of the na
tion directed against the enemy of tho country.
Everything that is directed against me, is directed
against it, and gives its enemy aid and comfort.
My private character comes in only incidentally.
I defend it beeause. naturally, « his reputation is
dear to any man,” but ODly incidentally. This is
tho foundation of many of my acts, and will bo,
if I stay here. Everything that hurts, impedes,
or embarrasses the work entrusted to mo, X strike
at without hesitation.
, I take tho sonsequenees. The worst that can
happen to tne is relief from great labor.
Yours truly, Jon a C. Fremont.

entangleth himself with tho affairs of this life that
he may please him who hath chosen him to be a
soldier.’’—2 Tim., 11 4.
The troops present woro formed in square, and
listened with strict attention to the remarks of the
learned divine, whose ministrations have been pe
culiarly acceptable to the soldiers in our camps.
His sorrnon to bis own congregation was delivered

Nineveh by the decreo of the King and his nobles.
Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste
anything; let them not feed, nor drink water, &c.,
saying. Ac.” —Jonah, 8,7, including tho chapter
throughout.
Wo regret that the crowded state of our columns
will not pormit us to do justice to this appropriate

great attention throughout and was worthy of the
reputation of its author.
Headt to Start. — We understand that
Colonel McLean and Colonel Goslino have filled
their regiments, and that one or two additional
regiments aro likewise filled. The men are being
kept in camp, whereas they might be moved to the

afterward. The Government needs the men at
once. If Celi-iWd Geary had waited until his full

Stroud and myself, that both of us would probably
be defeated, and possibly tho Buccess of the whole
tickot bo jeoparded. Under such circumstances
my duty U a plain ons» it Uto make any sacrifice
that my fellow-citizens may in reason require of
me for the general good. In times liko the present,
When our glorious temple of constitutional liberty is
rockingtoitSYcry base, and the problem remains jet
unsolved whether tho Government can maintain it
self against an armed rebellion, every loyey $£ jjjjf
country should feel impelled to forego alt personal
considerations; to contribute his utmost to allay
sectional or local strife, and to give to the Govern
ment bis heartiest and most vigorous support. If
my withdrawal from the contest will tend to allay
agitation, and ho productive of harmony, I cheer
fully make tho sacrifice, however gratifying to mo
personally the retention of your nomifiuUoa imght
be. Ido not wish to foratali or bias your future
deliberations, but allow me to say that between
Judge Stroud and myself the most kindly and
friendly relations exist, and should lie be tho fa
vored recipient of your nomination I shall havo no
cau?e of regret.
Trusting, hnwever, that your netting, Whoever
he may be, will meet with general approval, and
my retirement be productive of harmony and good,
1 beg your permission to withdraw my.name.
