There can be but two sides to the controversy. Every man must t>e «» side of the l!»Unl Stnh's or ngAtnst il. There -can be no neutrals in this war.

The sau xlitvs of tho fatal blunder, by which, cm Lhmduy loyal rvgtirivhtg, from our city, fircii upon each other, will cause intense sorrow among the friends of the victims, and the public generally. Tt seems almost incredi ble that, after the repeated warnings we have bad triplin' danger of such occurrences, eitieient precautions tire hot taken to prevent them. The Movements at Washington. The intelligence from Washington is of a highly important and exciting character. For SOllie reason, ns yet not fully explained, the enemy withdrew from flic advanced positions in the vicinity of the capital, they have occu pied for several weeks jinst, on Friday night, and on Saturday night our troops occupied the points thus vaciitisi. Tliis movement may be n prelude to a general engagement; or it may indi cate a disposition on the part of Beai-iikoard to choose some new point of attack; or it may be a mere ruse designed to draw our men into fatal ambuscades, IVe are doubtless on the eve of great events. No one can foresee how soon the armies which have been encamped almost within sight of each other will engage in a desperate and deadly conflict. But we trust and believe that, whatever may be the object of the foe, our generals will prove more wary and skilful, and our soldiers more determined and brave, than their adversaries. The fact (hut they have eoased to flaunt their black flag of crime and treason in sight of TVashingum will be hailed, with joy hy every loyal heart in the country, no matter what may be their motives for a retreat, and thou sands of hearts will quicken with the hope that the hour is fast approaching when the na tion will bo thrilled with the glad news that the tide el infamy, treason, and despotism has been rolled back upon the rebellious districts, and the honor and power of the ltepublio vin dicated and re-established. Nntimiiil Confidence, The feeling of passive conlidcnrc which the people of the loyal States now exhibit is an extraordinary indication of their power and prowess. We have educated ourselves into a just appreciation of the magnitude of this in surrection and the means to bo taken for its suppression. IVe have tempered that feeling of impatience and petulance which we were wont to exhibit before the Manassas disaster. IVe have ceased to grumble with the President or or to make foolish demands for a change in the Cabinet; we have thrown to the winds every remnant of the old party robes; there lias been a union of feeling and prejudice for the sake of the Union; we have ceased to dictate militar y movements to men whose lives have been spent in the army; and, what is more, wo have smothered the Disunion senti ment which occasionally appeared in onr midst to distract our counsels and paralyze our efforts, and at last we are one people. Could there be any more gratifying tributo to our greatness as a nation ? For we have learned to know ourselves, and tills is the sum and substance of all national power and glory. Blankets and Socks for the Army. At the commencement of the war, tire ladies of the North displayed as much enthusiasm in their exertions to assist in the equipment of the troops as their husbands, brothers, and friends did in volunteering. Their zeal, how ever, natunilly abated when the Government manifested ils ability to promptly furnish supplies of v:ost of the articles needed; but a period has again arrived when their voluntary aid may bo viially important to tho health and comfort of thousands of our soldiers, and when they may do much good by supplying winter stockings or socks, and blankets. The extra ordinary demand lor these articles which was created hy the war has not only exhausted the shelves of our merchants, but rendered it im possible for manufacturers to make up now supplies as soon as they are needed. If tho ladies of our country, and particularly of our State, do not liberally respond to tho appeal of the Quartermaster General, much suffering will be inevitable. IVe are glad to know that thousands nre now engaged in knitting woollen socks, and we also notice that several dona tions of blankets have been made to Quarter master Cbossjia.v, of this city, as well as to Quartermaster General Hanc, nt Harrisburg. Tlio latter officer superintends tho supplies of volunteers from our State. In al. tter of the 24th inst., lie acknowledges tho receipt of two boxes containing oue hundred and eighteen blankets, which were a donation from the la dies of Lewisbnrg and vicinity, for the soldiers at Camp Curtin. Gen. Hale says that— “ Every exertion has been made to procure army Markets for the troops, but so great has been tbe demand that the ordinary sources of supply failed to meet our wants. We have endeavored to start every loom in the State capable of making army blankets, and hope in time to have a full supply, hut the troops in camp require immediate relief. We cannot, then, too warmly express our thanks to your association for your prompt and timely dona tion; and trust that other kindred associations throughout our whole Stato will follow your noblo example and contribute to relieve the neuo.-i.silies of thoßewbo have left tho oomforts of home, to fight for our country, our flag, and the Govern ment of our choice." A lady correspondent sends us a strong cers, No. 232 and 234 Markot street, appeal to the ladies of this city, urging the forg> A;;CTION KOTK ,.XTor Snoas. nmtionofa society to knit at least two pairs or _ xhe altomioß of huym ; s to the large woollen socks tor each man in Col. Baker’s aß( j desirable assortment of 1,000 cases boots, shoes, California regiment. No. 1, which is composed brogans. 4c., to be sold this morning, at 10 o’clock almost entirely of Philadelphians. She ex- precisely, by Philip Ford & Co., auctioneers, No. presses a hope that if her recommendation is 525 Market street, and 522 Commerce street acted upon, it may lead, not only to the com fort Of those for whoso benefit it is particular ly intended, but to the formation of societies for the relief of other regiments, and at all events to a general stimulation to labor of the kind she suggests. Among other facts which she states is the following : “ A lady just returned from one of the south eastern counties of Virginia says that all the schools bare been broken up long ago ; the boys are in the army, and the girls are at home knitting sooks: that wherever you go the ladies meet you at their doors and gates with the needles going; the ser vants in the house and on the plantation are equal ly ambitious.’’ She adds that “ we will not knit because they do, but we w ill not lot them outdo us.” Suraly the ladies of the North will be not less activo in promoting the comfort of the soldiers of freedom than the ladies of the South are in providing for the wants of the traitors. The Butteries on the Potomac. The enemy are reported to have planted several powerful batteries on the shores of tho Potomac. .Some of them were probably originally erected to prevent the Union forces from landing at important points on tho Vir ginia shore, and others for aggressive pur poses. It is no doubt part of their plan to control and prevent the : navigation of the river, so that if by any misfortune to our arms direct communications between 'Washington and the North are cut off, they can also ren der it difficult and dangerous to send succor from tho sea to » beleaguered capital. The recent attacks upon our ships have disclosed the exact lm-a.'lon (previously concealed) of several ul tiicac hostile works. It is quilu pos sible that, since they have thus been unmasked, an attempt will he made before many days to capture or destroy them. Another Privateer Destroyed. Lute inteUigence from Fort Pickens states that another privateer, the Judith, has recently been destroyed bv an expedition fitted out from our flm-‘ •• 'hut quarter. Finding it im possible to cut her out, on account of the pro tection afforded by the guns of the Pensacola Navy Yard, our brave tars set fire to and entirely destroyed her. Privateering is evi dently not a remunerative business. It con stantly exposes those engaged In it to mortify ing and tragic disasters. The arrival of Gen. Fremont at Jefferson City is announced, and tho opinion is ex pressed that, if lie is sufficiently rapid in his movements, he can prevent the escape of Gen. Prick, ami gain a brilliant victory over tb? rebel forces. Pennsylvania Volunteers anil the General Flection The Harrisburg Telegraph of Saturday eon iaiiLs an important opinion of IVII.[.[AM 11. MmiEmru, Attorney General of the State, in regard to Ibo manner in which tile volunteers now in camp are to be allbnied opportunities for voting on tlio day of tlte gonontl election. It wili be seen tbutbe expresses tho belief that those companies and regiments which are not connected with the forces organized ami com missioned by tbe State authorities, will not be entitled to vote—a decision which will proba bly excite no litllo indignation in some of the camps, if it is strictly adhered to. Go vernor Curtis, however, has recently issued a proclamation setting forth, among other tilings, an order of the War Department, dated September 2otli, which contains tlie following clause: J. All men now enrolled or mustered into the service of the United States, for brigades, regi ments. batteries, or companies, in the State nf Penn sylvania. under tho direct authority of the Secre turv of War, are placed under the command of the fioYvrnorof Pennsylvania, who shall organise or reorganize them as he may deem most advan tageous to the interests of the Uoncral Uovorn nicnt.” IVe trust, that the men connected with what have been termed “ independent Pennsylvania regiments,” formed within our borders, may, iii consequence of this order, bo classified as State regiments in every legal sense of Lite term, and that they will not be prevented from voting. . Tlio opinion of Attorney General Mkrkiiitu is as follows; ATTonxET General's Omen, ) IIAHIIISTtIIRO, Sopt. 27, IHtil. j My opinion is requested by the Governor on the following questions, viz : I. IVbat volunteers will bo entitled to vote at the approaching general election in Mioir oarnps? 11. Whether the volunteers so emitted to vote can vote for county oflicers : I. I am clearly of the opinion that no volunteers will be entitled to vote in their caiups, except snoh as arc in actual military service in conformity with .law, viz : Such as are iu service under tho authori ty of the Governor on the requisition nf the Presi dent of the United States. All the field officers of such regiments will ho commissioned by the Go vernor. and the holding of such commissions hy the field officers will be a fair test of the right of the regiment to vote. 11. The act of Assembly provides that the volun teers may exercise the right of suffrage; of course they have as much right to vote for county offioors as for any othor. IV. M. Meredith, Attorney Gotiernl. Since the above opinion was presented to tlie Governor, another question arose, which the Attorney General has thus disposed of: “ Since writing the above an additional question has been propounded to me, viz : Where men from several oountics are in the same company, what course should be pursued ? lam of opinion that in such cases there should he separato ballot-boxes, tally lists, Ac., for each county, and tile votes should be returned, to each county, of the voters ontitled to vote in such county. 11 IV. M. Meuetiith, Attorney General. “September 2S, 1861.” Tiie news from Kentucky indicates that the friends of the Union in that quarter arc futiy aroused, quite as alert as tho Disuniou ists, and prepared for almost any contingency that may occur. The situation of affairs on the liver border of tlie State is said by Pren tice to be as encouraging as could be expect ed or desired, and tlie number of Union sol diers, their officers and equipment, leads us to hope that they will be more than a match for tlieir enemies. It is true that along the southern border of the State tlie traitors have, after their usual fashion, been committing nuw outrages and robberies, and acting more liko Goths and Vandals than civilized soldiers. But if nil goes well with our expeditions, they will presently find sufficient employment in defending tlieir own homes in Tennessee. To that State they evidently tear that the seat of war will soon bo transferred, and that loyal Kentucky will thus be rescued from the hor rors and misfortunes that site would suffer if for a long period she was made one of tlie chief battle grounds of the contest. Public Amusements. The theatrical events of the past week are few. At tho Continental Theatre “ Tbe Tempest” con tinues attractive, mid, indeed the last scene is ex tremely beautiful, imposing, and suporb. This performance will be continued throughout the pre sent week. At Mrs. John Drew’s Arch-street Theatre a new play, adapted from the French, by Mrs. C. Barton Bill, we believe, has been so successful that it will run through, and probably beyond, the present week, litre it bears the title of “ Jeannette, or le Cretin de la Montagna,” and tlio heroine, play ed by Mils Charlotte Thompson, is tho most tolling character. In Paria, and in London (where the play Is played at the Surry theatre as “ The Idiot of the Mountain,”) the stroffgcharacter is tho Cre tin. Mr. Cresswick playa it in Loudon, bat we doubt whether he can do it as much justice us it here receives from Mr. Mortimer. The ability With which Mr. Shewed renders the part of lions sail, tho pcdler, is worthy of commendation. At Walnut-street Theatre, this evening, Miss Caiolino llichings and Mr. Peter llichings will permanently assnmo the responsible positions of Directress and Stage Manager. The comedy of “Fashion” will be performed, with tho afterpiece of “The Boumo Fish Wife,” Miss llichings per forming ill both pieces, and intruducing singing. Mrs. Garrettson, we believe, though sho lightens her labors by this managerial change, continues solo lessee of the theatre. Sanderson's Stereoscopic Views. —At As sembly Building, cornor of Tenth and Chestnut streets, the views of the Southern Ilebellion and the Itussian War continue popular and attractive. Olympic Theatre —This establishment, altered and improved, (eight private boxes having been added), will be reopened next Saturday evening, by Mr. J. E. McDonough, with a large and good company.

It will leave some lime to-day. Tho independent regiment, called the Keystone, lias been consolidated with the State regiment, to bo commanded bj Colonel Richard White. Its Colonel is to be the Lieutenant Culouel of Whited regiment. John Filler, a well-known correspond ent of newspapers from this point, is to be Major of tho regiment. There are now fourteen companies of infantry, five companies of cavalry, and one battery of artil lery in Camp Cameron. Seven of the infantry com panies belong to Colonel Powers’ Zouave regiment. Three more companies will arrive this woek, when the full number of companies will be in camp. All the men belonging to the Zouave regiment are now uniformed and equipped, with new tents and camp furniture. It rumored that Col. Serieda CL SltiitiidttS, 4f this city, colonel of tho Fifth Regiment Pennsylva nia Reserve Yolunteors, under General McCall, at Camp Tenn&lly, on the Potomac, has been appoint ed a Brigadier General in the army. Ho is a cap tain in the regular army, and was detailed to com mand the Fifth Pennsylvania Reserve by the Secre tary of War. Great excitement prevails here in consequence of the avowal of the following sentiment by the Rev. Dr De Witt, State Librarian, who has a son hold ing a consular appointment abroad. He said the North had violated their covenants with the South, and were responsible and answerable for the crisis with which the country was convulsed.” Dr. De Witt is senior pastor in the New School Presbyterian Church in this place. The avowal w«. e made in a sermon preached in hi* pulpit upon J gH I>ry. Hid iutUuiL removal i: dcuumlcd bj tiio popular voice. It is said the Governor will do it if he has the power. The matter has already bocn re ferred to the Attorney General, whose opinion will be given upon the legal power of the Governor over tho removal. His son will doubtless be recalled immediately. Ho is one of President Bnchnuan’s appointees." The Pennsylvania Troops. FIFTIETH RKGiaHNT AWAITING TRANSPORTATION Harrisburg, Sept 28. —Since tho order re ‘•mv< dby Governor Curtin ftoru *he War Depart iiicnt to send forward the troops raised under tho last requisition, Pennsylvania has sent forward four regiments of over one thousand men each, fully armed and equipped. Col. Criat’s Ftflieth, and several other regiments, are now ready, and await nothing but transportation. The railroad companies, notwithstanding their untiring efforts, buYV Itet been able to furnish ae&r so rapidly as Pennsylvania can organise, arm, and equip her regiments. It is confidently expected that next week a regiment per dRy will leave Har risburg for the seat of war. When all the now nearly-completed regiments have taken the field, Pennsylvania will have more men under arms than any other State in the Union # Tho Quartermaster General finds it almost impossible to supply the nu merous requisitions made upon him tor blankets, and considerable unavoidable suffering is the con* sequence.

Special Despatches to “ The Tress*” Washington, Sept. 28, Important Advance of Gen, McClellan, During the last week it was so frequently re ported, from day to day. that our troops lmd taken pAppeerion of Mmseon’s Hill, that when, last night, this long-predicted event took place, it found few believers among thoso least excited by* sensation reports. A personal visit, however, plaoes the fact beyond doubt. The American flag now floats there in place of that of tbe rebels. Dotflohmonls from Generals Richardson 7 ??, Keyes’, and Wadsworth's brigades, and also from General Franklin’s division, now occupy Munson's III!!, being in command of Col. Furry, of tlio Fifth Michigan Rogimout. Early ibis forenoon the pickets from General Smith's position advanced to and now occupy Falls Church. Neither this nor the preceding movements mot With any opposition whatever, ns the rebel army had on Friday night retreated from tho wbolo lino of their positions fronting Washington. Upton’s Hill, this side of Falls Church, is necessarily in cluded among the points now held by tho Federal forces. Tho work* of tho enemy, at the places they lxnd evacuated, were, in a military view, almost worth less, being nothing more than rifle pits of very common construction. The positions nt Munson's and Murray’s Hill afforded tho robols nearly an unobstructed view cf all our fortifications and other defences. The appearnnoo of the ground deserted by tho rebels indicated that they were deficient in those arrangements which serve to make a camp-lifo comfortable, having no tents, but merely shelters rudely constructed. There were no signs to show that they hud ever mounted any guns there. Our troops are now so omployod us to show that they do hot merely intend temporarily to occupy their pre sent positions. Melancholy Catastrophe—Another Blun der—Colonel Owen’s Regiment Fires on Baker’s anti Baxter’s Regiments. The advance of General Smith on Fulls Church from tho Cfcain Bridgo was attended by events of the most deplorable character. Having passed Vanderwercker’s and Vaedbrbkrg's houses on" their way to tho former place, and when about half a mile from it, hy some unaccountable blun der Colonel Owen's Philadelphia Irish Regiment, iu the darkness of tho night mistaking for the re bels Captain Mott's battery, which was in tin ad vance, sustained by llMwai-BAicnn’s California Regiment, Colonel Baxter’s Philadelphia Fire Zouaves, and Colonel Friedman's Cavalry, fired a full volley into tho troops last mentioned, killing and wounding a largo number. Tho California Regiment, not knowing whence the firing came, re turned It will) marked effect. The bonus attached to Mott’s battery became unmanageable, and the longuos of tho caissons were broken owing to the narrowness of the road. Lieutenant BnvAxr, having command of the first section, ordered tho guns to bo loaded with grape and canister, and soon had them in range to rake tho supposed enemy, when word way stmt to him that he was in the company of friends. All w«w excitement, and a long time elapsed before the actual condition of affairs was ascertained and confidence re-established. Many confused stories prevail as to tho parties on whom tho blftme should rest. List of Killed and Wounded. Tlie killed of Capt. Mott’s battery is TiMOTnr Rav. Wounded —Corporal Bartlett, and private Gil ley, both of whom will probably die, as they wore not only run over hy the gun carriages, but tram pled on by the cavalry horses. Of Gen. Baker's California Regiment the killed were: Edwin Morris, Company L. Jos Parciiall, lt H. Joseph Whitk, 11 11. Sergeant Alexander Pihlltson, Company N. WOUNDED. Darry Clinton, Company L, slightly iu the knee; Sergeant Brands, Company L, wounded in the head; William Ogden, Company N, also in the head ; Timothy Gregory, Company D, shot in the leg; R. G.

None of these wounds will probably prove fatal. John Dobale, Company I, First Pennsylvania Dragoons, was mortally wounded. In Col Owbn\s Philadelphia Regiment, Sergeant Gillan, Company B, was killed, and Sergeants W. B. McCann and Charles Suillds, of Company E, were wounded. Eunal of the Dead* The killed were all buried to-day, near their en campments, with military honors, while tho wounded were removed to the hospitals iu Georgetown prin cipally, where they are receiving tho best atten tion. There are reports of others being killed, but no positive information has so far been obtained con cerning them. Account of Munson’s Hill. Munson’s Hill is one of those small eminences that formerly constituted tho neutral ground bo tween our lines and tho enemy’s, two miles from Bailey's Cross Roads. The approaches to the hill are gradual, and in a strategic view its position is of minor importance. Munson’s houso is situated at the side of the hill. They first occupied the hill on the Monday pre ceding the 31st of August. The Maryland regi ment that made the advance was supported on Tuesday by five thousand robols—chiefly Mary landers and Virginians—under Gen. Longstrebt About twenty lives were lost on both sides in its occupation. No effort being made to dislodge the enemy, they proceeded to fortify tho position, and were to be Been daily from some houses near Al exandria, and also from Forts Blenker and Rich ardson. On a clear day, and with a good glass, their flag could be seen from the dome of the Capitol, and among the soldiers, ever alert with picks and spades, certain rebel ladies, in gay dresses, were remarked flitting from poiut-io point. The fact that t,hu Hill was deserted seems to argue a feint on the part of Beauregard. Day after day his troops seemed working incessantly; but General McClbl&an contented himself with kooping up a strict vigi lance, and the end has been the desertion of this place and its re-occupation by the Unionists, [The following account of tho melancholy affair has been furnished by our local reporter.—Ed. Press, j The F«tnl IHistnkr item* Falla Church STATEMENTS OF PARTICIPANTS, A number of the participants in the advance on Falls Church were in the city last evening. They give confused and contradictory statements relative to the fatal mistake. The most reliable account we derive freui & captain’e clerk, who left the ad vancing column near Falls Church at nine o’olock on Sunday morning. Among tire regiments that left toe Chain Bridge, under Gen. William K. Smith, were the following: California Regiment, Baxter’s Fire Zouaves, and Owen’s Irish Regiment, all from Philadelphia; alAo, the Sixth Maine Regiment, Second and Third Vermont, Nineteenth Indiana, Thirty-third New York, toe Berdan Sharpshooters, (comprising two THE PKESB.—PitII.ADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1861. companies,) at least two batteries of artillery, and a quantity *.f euvulry. Three eoinpimiefi of the California r&gimAhfc had bees thrown out a 6 skirmishers, two of which had returned to tboir column, reporting tho road unob structed. Supposing his column now uuitod, Gen. Smith ordered forward tho Bordan Sharpshooters, directing them to fir© at any approaching body. Auuordingly, when a IhiM eomptiny of the Cali fornia skirmishers were about rejoining tboir rogi mont, iho sharpshooters fired upon them, without effect. Tlie skirmishers at once rnplind, and a panic ensued among the riflemen, several of whom throw dowu their i/iucca. piuiic-Htrickcn, and run back upon the inivin body. The r.iUtako was discovered in a few seconds, and amicably adjusted. "When about to rejoin their column, tlie skirmish ers were, a second time, fired upon by parrs of Col. Owen’s Irish regiment.

A part of Captain Mott's battery, hearing this firing ahead, was prepared to sweep the rond with grape and canister.

Jkffhkson City, Sept. 29.—There is no reli able nows of interG9t from Booneville, Georgetown, Glm-gow, Rollii, or other prominent points. Captain Walter, of Colonel Marshall’s regiment, who was at Loxiugton, arrived this morning, lie left there on Thursday nt noon. He saw no rebel Lexington and Sedalia, and Rays that the main body of Goueral Price’s forces woro there when ho departed, and he believes that they intend to take a stand and meet our troops thero, as tho vicinity is well calculated, from its streams and deep risdug banks without bridges, to trouble on advancing enemy. All the Federal officers have l?eep released on pa, role except Col. Mulligan, who refused to give his for private reasons. Price has probably 35,000 men, and the rebels, on Thursday, confidently expected that Ilardee, with 8,000 or 11,000* and McCulloch, with 10,000 men, wero within t >ro or throo days’ march of Lex ington. They have no faith in McCulloch as a ge neral, but think ho is vory effective with a small body of men. A body of 10,000 rebels were sent across the Missouri from Lexington on Thursday, with the avowed lDtention of attacking Lane, who 13 re ported on this side of the river. Oiir troops had no cartridges, no grape or other shot left at the time of the surrender, but lost from 200 to 300 kegs of powder. The rebels are casting all kinds of balls at Oia • Lexington foundry, which is at work day and night. Tho rebels are greatly encouraged and declare that St. Louis shall soon be in their posses sion. l’artiul Destruction of Osceola by General Jepperson CiTvySapt. 2H.—-A geiuiomiui who arrived here this morning, from tho West, states that he saw a gentleman who passed through Osce ola on Wednesday who says that the central portion of that town hod been burnt by Gon.

The following | are the closing paragraphs. Our entire loss in this j series of engagements amounts to 25 killed aud 72 j wounded. The enemy’s loss was much greater. | The visible fruits of this almost bloodless victory are groat—about 3.500 prisoners, among whom are Colonels Mulligan, Marshall, Peabody, Whito grover, Major Van Horn, and - one hundred and : eighteen other commissioned officers, five pieces of artillery and two mortars, over 3,000 stand of arms, a large amount of sabres, about 750 horses, ’ many : sete of cavalry equipments, wagons, teams, ammu nition, more than @loo,ooo.'worth of commissary ; stores, and a large amount of other property. | In addition to all this, T obtained the restoration | of tho greut Eeal of the State and the public ro- I cords which had been stolen from their proper cus j todian. and about $900,000 in money, of which the ■ b«nK ait x®ib place limi been robbed, and which.

After He was seated, a procession was formed, precoded by a large transparency, bearing tho words “ James W. Wall, Defender of the Constitution, Welcome Home,” composed of about thirty men with lighted torcbes, and moved slowly down tho street. Upon arriving at his residence, he thanked his friends for these exhibitions of sympathy and welcome, and assured them that he would not rest until he found out the persons who caused his immersion in the dungeon at New York, and who should answer to him in the proper tribunal, and if he could not get justice then, he would depend upon his own right arm. About 11 o’clock he was serenaded by the band. About three o’clock this morning, a large barn, belonging to Samuel W. Taylor was burned to the ground. It was doubtless the act of an iucendiary, it having been fired twice before. The first rail road train from Mount Holly this morning was thrown from tbo track at the Fountain Woods, nearly two miles out from here. Upon examining the track, it was found to have been torn up. It is reported that a train had been chartered to con tcj Colonel Wall'?

She conveyed Minister McLane and yacht from Vora Cruz, and carried out the Lagoon exploring expedition to Panama. She was to have carried in the troops to the relief of Anderson, but that duty war very lamely performed by the Star of tlu IFW, fur which reason Fort Sumpter and It* garrison Hurron drrrri. Had the officers of the Brooklyn been en trusted with the duty, they fiwturo us that Ander son would have been reinforced. The Brooklyn lay at Norfolk and Hampton in May last, and was employed to reinforce Fort Pickens. Since that time sbo has been on t.hc blockade, constantly iilcrt, under pUwtu continuously for 25‘J days, over hauling ami boarding vessels during day and night. She has taken three prizes—one oi which, the Stet son, was condemned and sold at Key West. She left at the mouth of the Mississippi IT.

A few days previous to leaving her post aha captured a fine prize, the bark Meaco, from Rio, with a cargo of coffee, while trying to run the blockade. A prize crew was put on board of her under com mand of Lieut. Quackcnbush, and she was sent to Philadelphia. She will arrive here in a few days. Being so long at sea, the Brooklyn will need extensive repairs, and it will probably be five or six weeks before she again leaves this station. She goes out of commission to-day, and wilt ftt Once discharge four-fifths of her crew. The r'eafc will be placed on board tho receiving ship Princeton. The engines of t|u> Brooklyn are in bad condition, and #he will need, in part, new woodwork and new rigging. The following are the names of her offi cers : Captain, C. 11. Pooro; first lieutenant, A.

The sloop-of-war St. Louis, carrying an armament of 13 guns and 133 men, will reach this city in a few days, direct from the mouth of the Mississippi. The officers of the Brooklyn discredit the report that Ship Island and Mississippi City have been taken by the naval forces. Snip Island has been fortified by the gee*««6bUU, Aud Mississippi City being on the main land, out of cannon-shot reach of the island. Tho Brooklyn pursued a pirate into Mississippi City inlet.

Total, 55 guns and 524 men. Arrival of the Steamer Delaware.— The transport steamer Delaware, formerly run ning between this port and New Turk, returned to the city on Saturday evening from a trip up tho Potomac. She left this city on Wednesday with three hundred seamen taken from the receiving ship Princeton. When off the mouth of the Po tomac. the Delaware was overhauled by certain merchantmen, and the officers warned not to at tempt to run up the river, as rebel batteries on the Virginia side would certainly sink the steamer. Having accepted the errand, however, the captain determined to fulfil bis contract, and had proceed-: ed as far as Point Occoquan, where a rebel batte ry had been constructed The battery appeared to be a large one, and the Secession flag waved over the fortifications. The captain of the Delaware at once ordered on all steam, having thirty nine pounds to the square inch. The first shot- from the battery, which was then three miles and a half from the vessel, passed over the top of the masts, and was followed in. quick succession by six more shots. In the hurry ol passing the battery, tho officers did not perceive the small steamtug Planet, and the Delaware stxuck her iu the side, sinking her in eleven minutes. The Planet had ventured up to the Delaware to give information of the. whereabouts of the rebel butteries. Her crew were saved and taken on board the Delaware The cannon used at Occoquan are believed to have been seized at Bull Run. They were 30-pound rilled cannon. The Delaware had been furnished with precau tionary arrangements, and the seamen wore so dis- E oa*id that any damage to hull or rigging could ave boon instantly repaired- She was somewhat injured by concussion with the Planet, and her forokocl was carried away. But for these damages, she would have accepted a Government offer to carry 3,000 troops on a secret expedition thirty miles down the Potomac. The captain opines that tho entire Virginia shore, from Freestone Point to creek, has been fortified, embracing the places of Timber Brunch and Quantico Cock Pit. Arrest of an Old Offender—Recovery of a Large Amount of Stolen Property. —On Saturday evening Chief Detective Wood, with hi 3 aids, Wrigley Bird and Charles H. Smith, arrested a German named Anthony August, who, it ap pears, has for some time past been engaged in most extensive thefts. Tbe officers have been on the lookout for August, and finally traced him to his dwelling, at tho corner of Mervine aud Master streets, in the Twentieth ward. The premises were searched in the early part of last week, and a pro miscuous assortment of goods of various descrip tions was found. There were hundreds of pairs of shoes of all kinds, for wearers of both sexes and all ages ; sewing silks worth two huudred and fifty dollars ; lace mantillas, bonnet silks, merino un der-shirts and bosoms, men’s huts, domestic goods, knit jackets, cigars, a ship’s chronomotor, a double barreled gun, and 130 yards of cordod silks. This last lot was stolen from a store in Third street, above Market, about the first of August. There whs also found a box containing 160 door keys. August was what is called a “ weeder"—that is to Eay, his practice was to enter stores in the evening wiih false keys, and remove a small lot of goods, generally one piece of stuff or a box of ribbons, such small losses being generally laid to the charge of the clerks or tho porter of the establishment. Pawn tickets were also found, showing that his transactions extended back as far as iB6O. It is a practice with tbe “ weeders !? t to send their plunder to auction, by a second party, and have it sold, buy ing it in themselves, aud thus escaping nil suspi cion. August was absent from home when the police visiled the spot and removed the plunder. His wife and children were taken care of to prevent communication with the alfeent one, and the offi cer took charge of the house and waited for his return. On Saturday evening lie returned home, in ignorance of the turn which things had taken during hia absence, and was nabbed by Chief Wood just as he was about entering the door. He brought home with him an empty valise. It is presumed that its contents were disposed of by him during his absence from tho city. The prisoner seems to have followed up thieving systematically, and to have stolen whatever be could lay bis bands upon. He will have a hearing before Alderman Bottler, at the Central Station, to-morrow afternoon, at two o’clock. Meanwhile, those who have lost such goods as were found on his premises should call on Chief Wood and examine the assortment of plunder which he has on hand. Manufacturing Bogus Money.— Catharine Perry was taken into custody, on Friday afternoon, upon tho charge of attempting to pass a counterfeit ten-dollar bill, purporting to be the issue of tho Atlantic Bank of Massachusetts. Her residonoe, on Thirteenth street below Federal, was subse quently searched by the police, who arrested a man, named Samuel Peransey, having in his pos session a number of copper plates and dies for bank note engravings. In tbe house were also found crucibles, galvanic batteries, printers’ink, and ma terials for making the same, and all the appliances for producing counterfeit coin. A large pistol and a counterfeit ten-dollar bill were also taken. Some of the plates seized were what are technically called < ; bugs,” being used for altering notes from their original value. The plates taken wore for notes of five, ten, and twenty dollars, and are well engraved. The accused had a hearing before Aid. Patcbell on Saturday, and were committed to answer at court. Eliza Russell, who Is Sftid to bo connected with the party, was also taken into cus tody aDd committed. The arrests wore made by Lieutenant Paulin and a posse of the Fifth district police, who deserve credit for bringing these of fenders to justice. Cot. Wallaces Rroimhkt. —Tho regimon now fonniDg under Col. Ed E. Wallace, an old and experienced Mexican soldier, will soon be complete. The men, as soon as sworn in, are equipped and sent to Camp Edwards, on Islington lane, opposite the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery. This regiment will be as fine and composed of as hardy a sot of inon us baa yet left the city, and wM bo among tho first to leave for tbe scat of war. None but picked IH6B are accepted, as it is the desire of Col. Wallace not to leavo for Washington with a regiment of which one half will be rejected. Old and capable officers have been selected, most of whom have already been in tho three-months service. Lieut. Col. Geo. W. Todd, formerly of the Scott Legion regiment, has also seen sorvico in the Mexican war. Tho of the regiment are at the Govern lucut'liulriiuga, on Chestnut street below Fifth.

Opening of tub New Arsenal. —Tbo work of manufacturing the sapplrc# received at the now arsenal, corner of Twenty-fourth and Chestnut streote, was comraenoed on Friday morning lu3t. The material now being given out will bo made into shirts and under-clolhiug for the soldiers. The applicants surrounding tho building when the work is being distributed may be numbered by thousands. They are all women, most ot whom rreide in the neighborhood. Among other condi tions of their receiving Work. 19 MM that they ahull give suffioient evidence of fitness to dieobarge the labor required. The making of eight or ten pairs of shirt* and drawers is considered enough to give employment to a single person for one week, ami this is the general amount of material rocoivod by each applieunt. It is expected by thoßo having charge of the now arsenal, that they will b« able to furnish goods for the milking up of all kinds of soldier» r clothing, within tho present or next week. No other sup plies than those above mentioned have as yet been stored in tho building; and from tho daily rush of npplionnts for this kind of work, tbore no- doubt that Unoln Sam may have ut his disposal any num ber of femHle operatives. At the main urseoal. on Gray’s Ferry road, the supplies received some days since have been utmost entirely used up, and new additions are looked for daily. PItKSKNTATIOX OF A FI.AC.

The courts have already passed upon some of tho points raised.

In speaking of Judge Ludlow’s charge to inquire into the alleged clothing frauds in connection with the volunteers from the State, the jury says: After a careful examination of all the testimony, sharing as wo did in the suspicion which actuated tbe public mind, wo are constrained to say that we have no evidence of any fraud having been perpe trated upon this Commonwealth in the supplies furnished to the troops, nor of any frauds on the part of those persons, official or unofficial, engaged in tho management of the interests of the Common wealth. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONEY MARKET Philadelphia city sixe3 sold at tbe stock board to day at S3} for the old issue, and 89} for the new, and 74} for the Pennsylvania State fives. In these there was no change. Minehill Railroad shares sold at 47}, sustaining tho advance noted yester day Heading Railroad stock sold after the ad journment of the first board at 171, and closed at 17} to 17}. The holders of Allegheny county and Pittsburg bonds will hold a meeting at room No 30, in tbe Exchange, on Monday, at 11 o’clock, when the committee appointed to confer with tho authorities of Pittsburg and Allegheny county will make their report. Now counterfeit five-dollnr notes on the Alle gheny Bank of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, aro in circulation. Also, counterfeit ten-dollar notes on tho Atlantic Bank of Massachusetts. We again remind tho holders of the noteß of the Bank of Pennsylvania that this is the last day on which their notes can be presented for registration in season to entitle them to a dividend from the par funds embraced in the third account of the assignees of that institution. We learn that a large number of notes hare been registered, in consequence of out* having Called public attention to this subject last week. A very large amount, however, is still outstanding, and the neglect of the owners of these notes to protect their own interests now must subject them to much delay in receiving their proportion of the assigned assets, and may result in ultimate loss. Tbo Philadelphia bwb? Lav© resolved to take their proportion of tho second fifty millions of the national loan. They are unanimous in thoir opinion that tho Secretary of the Treasury should put into circulation all the demand notes tnat he can get out. The New York banks appear to be hesitating about the mattor, several of them being disposed to make their subscription conditional, upon an agreement by the Government not to put out the demand notes at present. Another liberal feature in the decision of tho Philadelphia banks is tbo agreement not to pay immediately into the treasury for the new loan*tbo two years treasury Dotes held by them, but to retain these until tho last instalment of the second fifty millions is called for.
