The People's Loan The combined action of the Ba d s of Phila delphia, New York, and Boston, in accepting the second option of $50,000,000 of the National Loan, on 7.30 per cent. for three years, shows the sagacity as well as the patriot ism of these institutions. The maintenance of public and of private credit mult he coincident —or rather, if public credit be weakened, pri vate credit receives a terrible blow ; while, at the same time, the involvement, even- the ruin, of individuals, and even of banks, need not necessarily be of more than fleetingeptbarmss ment and injury to the financial cottdition of thy State. As, with the first Fifty Millions, the public will be allowed to participate in the" dvantages to be derived from the investment of money, in the second and corresponding portion of the Loan. What these advantages are was very clearly shown in the Money Article of yesterday's Press ; and we shall here condense the points. Let us assume that a person has One Tihou sand dollars to invest; and desires to place it out upon the most secure and most renmAif tive security. In State, city, county, or rail road bonds, or in bond and mortgage, at par, at six per cent., the result will be $6O. De ducting $l5 for ordinary taxes and 8 per cent. income tax on this $6O, the nett income from $l,OOO, so invested, will be exactly $4-3.20. Or, invest the thousand dollars in United States 6 per cent. stock at 00, the gross income accru ing will be $66.66 ; with 3 per cent. in come tax and no ordinary tax leviable upon this, the nett income will be : $65.06, on the investment of a thousand dollars. Jut, invested in , 7.30 Treasury Notes, at par, the gross income of $73 will accrue, and deducting $l.lO (half - income-tax,) with no ordinary taxes, the nett income will be $71.90 for each $l,OOO invested. Here, then, is a difference indeed. By one investment, a nett income of $43.20 ;—by another, of $65.66 ; by the new Loan, of $71.90. We submit that there is wonderful significance and irresistible argument in plain facts like these. Figures of rhetoric may lie, but figures of arithmetic are . very truthful. That portion of the English press which is in the hands or under the influence of the Hothselahis and other European money-lend ers, insists that the luau of 5130,000,000 can not be raised in the United States; that the Government at Washington will have to bor row it in Europe ; that the rate of: interest is ruinously high, and that our National Debt will crush us to the ground. This last declaration comes with infinitely bad_ grace from the other bide of the water. The National Debt of England, commenced by Charles 11., in 1660, has increased, chiefly to carry on foreign:wars, to the enormous sum of $4,000,000,000, besides a considerable amount, ($70,000,0000 floating or unfunded debt, in Exchequer bills, which are promissory notes issued by the British Government for tempe rary purposes. That England, owing 4,000 million dollars, should pitiably speak of our - owing one-fifteenth of that amount is truly one of the best jokes of the day. As for the rate of interest, we take it that 7.80 per cent. in the United States, where the ordinary returns of investment in Pennsyl vania and New York are six and seven per cent., is not higher, comparatively .speaking, than 41 per cent. would be on a loan in Eng land, where 4 per cent. is the usual return for safe investments. That we must go to the money-markets of London and Paris to raise money is disproved by the fact that the patriotisM and the wealth of our people are able to supply the money— and that without an eflbrt. As for security for the interest on our debt, we point to the increasing population (twenty millions in the loyal Union States), to the pro ductive industry, to the adventurous spirit, to the vast natural productions of the coun tr y upon and beneath its surface. These con stitute the best guarantee for the redemption of the national faith. The Rothschilds, the Mixings, the Gurneys, the Goldsmids, and other leading European money-dealers, cannot understand that our own citizens are disposed to lend the country whatever treasure may be required to put down foul treason and preserve the Union. Yet, even money-lending experience might have reminded these moneyed gentlemen that, in December, 1796, when Pitt had resolved to prosecute the French war to the uttermost, a loyalty-loan of 00,000,000 was subscribed; at the Bank of England, in fifteen hours, by the public at large ; that, during the Crimean war, an appeal from Napoleon 111., to the French people, was equally successful ; and that, only a few months ago, Victor Emmanuel raised $100,000,900 by like means. What patriotism has done in England, France, and Italy, in this manner, we need not fear that it will decline doing in the United States. To maintain the Union, we, as a people, will make any and every sacrifice, and, for this, to use the im mortal words of the Declaration of Indepen dence, ,4 With a firm reliance on the Protec tion of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor." From the establishment of our Nationality we have kept faith with the public creditor. We have refrained from borrowing money ex cept when absolutely necessary, and the chief complaint, among the fundholders, has been that we have too rapidly paid off our Debt. Hence, our public securities have been singu larly free from the fluctuations which have shaken the European money markets; so much so, that during the present century the market price of £lOO in the 3 per cent. British con sols has been as low as 47i and as high as 1011. It is impertinent for English money lenders to question the American ability to raise 150 million dollars at a rate of 7.30, when the mere nett interest paid on the British Debt is $145,000,000 a year. We have heard it asked—Why should the English money-lenders try to run down Ame rican credit ? We reply—it is the fox and the grapes all over again. They are out of the ring, and angry at being so. Had our Secre tary of the Treasury employed the Roths: ehilds, and the Baring% and that set, the United States might borrow a thou Sand lion dollars in the money-markets of Europe. But then, these money-brokers would have paid only 6 per cent., (double the rate paya ble on British Consols7) and have quietly put the differcncc between that amount and 1.00 in their own pockets. That is the history and mystery of the en mity of the Rothschild clique, of the sarcastic abuse levelled at us by the Times, of Mr. W. H. Russell's misrepresentations and abuse. Mits. D. P. BOWEIIS.—This lady is now playing at ticiler'a Wells Theatre, in London. She made her debut there aslicz in "The Hunchback." The English critics do not agree in opinion as to her merits. The Times says: "She has neither thellthysieal force, the commanding figure, nor the passionate impetuosity which are required for a perfect delineation of this particular part. She cannot overwhelm a pit with the torrent of her woes. - It adds : "This deficiency of power bein . g conceded, the performance of Mrs. Bowers eonnnendatien. Her general concep tion of the character, and her execution of its de tails, show an original intelligence, which, while regardless or perhaps ignorant of conventions, coin pletely avoids every appearance of crudity. There is nothing stagy' in her interpretation, neither is there anything of the novice. To the extent of her capabilities, she has assumed as her own the feel ings she portrays ; and that this is the result, not only of art but of sympathy, is proved by the per fect case and nature of her manner, and by the genuine pathos with which she depicts the softer emotions. AU that belongs to the category of grief she thoroughly attains, if the creation of terror is beyond her reach." The Illustrated London News reportss that Mrs. Bowers is "deficient in height and petty in feature," with " a tendency to superabundant em -Ihasis, and to violent attitudinizing, which, on the nglisb stage, she will find it necessary to correct, She it, in fact, througheut too conscious that she is performing elocutionary feats, and declamation with her is in the ascendant. In pathetic passages, her grief or indignation takes too mush of an arti ficial form; and more than once she ventured on dangerous novelties which further experience will teach her the propriety of altogether omitting. Let her, above all thins, as a rule, avoid imitation and exaggeration." rom these conflicting criti cisms, we conclude that Mrs. Bowers has succeeded in London, but not very strikingly, THE REBELLION.

Late and Impartant Intolligoneo The Boston Journal has received files of New Orleans papers of September IS, and Memphis and Nashville papers of the 20th, from whioh it gleans the following very interesting and important ac count of affairs in the South : SUSPENSION Or SPECIE PAYMENTS AT NEW OR- The banks of New Orleans suspended specie pay ments at the request of the Governor of Louisiana, who issued a proclamation on tho subject, stating the step was necessary to maintain the credit of the $100,000.000 of treasury notes issued by the Con federate Government, in order to supply the means for carrying on the war. The banks aro to receive and pay out these notes at par. The New Orleans banks were the last to take this step. into , whim, they hens beets driven by the rebel Ghrep»me,rt_ This action of the banks at once created a scarcity of small change. The city authorities propose to issue small notes of five, ten, twenty, and fifty cents, for one, two, and three dollars, to supply the place of change. TALK ON !CfrANGE The Crescent of the 18th ultimo says : There were gatherings on the flags of Carondelet yesterday. True, they did not exceed a corporals guard, but it is with profound feelings of sorrow that we have to record that the prestige of Caron delet street is one of the things that were. We allude to it in the real sense of the word. No cot ton on the market; consequently no exchange making. True, there are orders for cotton for the Spanish market, ranging up to 11-1 to 12 cents for middling. The cotton is not in market., but it is on the plantations; and when Isabella the &Tend re cognizes the Southern Cenfederacy politically, as well as commercially, she may receive the hundred thousand" bales wanted from New Orleans. This is the general talk ; but there is a great deal of side talk going on. The sequestration act is freely com mented on. For the information of all branches of Northern firms we have to state that they are re quired to present a full balance-sheet to the au thorities. For instance ; a copartner of a Northern commercial firm is required to close at once and adjust the balances. If there is any thing due to Northern copartners it is under sequestration. We hardly know how to balance accounts with Carondelet street. No cotton, no exchange, and no sharing—the glorious suspension of coin payments by our bunks having knocked the shavers (Shy leeks). into the middle of next month or next year, alinost induces us to write the epitaph of Caron delq, - lie are asked - how Tommy S. Serrill got out of the Bastile. As we said at the time of his arrest the Uncolnites would not make much out of him, our expressions are confirmed. Ile was reported to fie an agent of the Bank of England. lie was just as much an agent as citizen Fassman's boss drayman. But Serrill has got out of the Lincoln Bastile. Some of our cotton factors would be glad to receive certain balances for cotton shipped through him. DEFENCE OF TILE CITY The Delta states that the fortifications above Carrollton are going on finely, and will bo comple ted in two weeks. They are represented as suffi ciently strong to prevent the invasion of the pity from that direction by any force, however large. The Crescent is apprehensive, however, that a visit from Uncle Sam's men will find the city un prepared. EVACUATION OF. SHIP ISLAND The Bulletin of the 18th gives the annexed ac count of the evacuation of Ship island : ' Night before last, at 8 o'clock, the evacuation of Ship Island, by the Louisiana troops, was comple ted, the fort dismantled, and the guns, ammunition, A.c., removed. Thirty-two hours were consumed in destroying the fort, soldiers' quarters, d:c., and in removing the troops and armament, during which time two war steamers, two frigates, and several smaller vessels, belonging to Old Abe Lin coln's fleet, were in sight, but at a respectful dis tance, they not daring to interfere with the debark ation of our men. Had not the officers of the Lincoln fleet been terribly frightened by the appearance of our trans ports in the vicinity .gf the island—evidently think ing that they brought reinforcements to the garri son—they i might have caused our men much an noyance, f not great loss of life. The evacuation of Ship Island was a military necessity, and the officers who had charge of the work deserve much credit for the admirable and successful manner in which it was executed. Yesterday the blockaders, we understand, approached the island, and threw several shell into the deserted fort, and finding no enemy on the island, valiantly landed, and hoisted the United States flag. SEA-COAST DEFENCES. The Picayune argues that the capture of Hatte ras by the Federal fleet will prove a barren victory, inasmuch as it has aroused all the seaboard States to snake vigorous preparations to repel like inva sions. It says : "We but speak of the feeling which is every where manifesting itself in reference to this matter, among us. The enemy, whether he approach by sea or by land, will be met as vigorously here as he has been in Virginia and in Missouri. The en ergetic measures which are everywhere In progress for his reception, under the active and judicious di rection of the Confederate and State authorities, will result, we have no distrust, in placing us in a complete state of defence." The Mayor of Mobile advertises for one thou sand men to work wpon the fortifications of that aty. Two launches have been completed at Mo bile, to be used as a coast guard from Mobile Bay to New Orleans. Four more are to be built at New Orleans. What they will be able to accomplish may be judged from their dimensions and arma ments which are given as follows : These boats are 27 feet long, 9 feet feet hold. Eachimat carries twenty-four men, one 24-pound howitzer, and 24 muskets, and is handled by twenty oarsmen." The Crescent boasts of the business of the city, and says that within the last two weeks there have been seven or eight large dealers there from mend, buying supplies for their houses, and esta blishing trade relations with the merchants of New Orleans. The stock of cotton on the 16th ult. was 10,401 bales. Sugar sold at 81e. to 9c.. ' molasses, 22. e.; Hour, $7.25 to $8; mess pork, ford dollars per bbl.; bacon, 18c. to 21c.; hay, fifty dollars per ton ; lard, lac. to 25c. FROM TUE POTOMAC A letter in the Delta, dated Camp Leesburg, September 'T. says : "Thank Heaven ' our commanders areas fully informed of all Northern movements as if tele graph wires ran into the offices of the depart ment at Richmond, and despite all threats of Fort Lafayette, our agents are numerous and sleep less, braving every danger, and successfully ac complishing their hazardous missions with the stealthiness of Crows or Illaekfeet Indians. , 6 Of our numbers and preparations in and around here, I shall not speak; but everything is as our best friends could wish. Maryland, opposite all our camps, is in a fever of excitement, and large hales of men are nightly 101:71171i' vs at Aquia creek whenever they can etude the federal craft but should the enemy ever dream of advancing into Virginia again, none of them will be left to tell the tale." ' The Crescent has a letter from Richmond, Sep tember 13, from which we extract the subjoined: 4: The Cabinet is now, and has been for some time, divided on the policy of a forward mace went of the army of Me Potomac. The object of delay appears to arise from an apprehension that an attack upon and the destruction of tho capital would thoroughly arouse the North, and would speedily heal all the dissensions which have grown up and are still increasing among the people, upon the necessity of peaoe or a further prosecution of the war. It is urged that the entire North, to a l imn, with means and money, would flock to the support of the Federal Government, and instead of an army of two hundred and fifty thousand men we would have pressing down upon us a mil lion of frenzied and revengeful soldiers, ready to butcher, lay waste, and destroy. The dill:Wallies which now beset the Lincoln Government, in re cruiting. and filling the regiments now in service, would immediately vanish, and the entire North, in forty days, would be one immense encampment, Others assert the true policy is to (malt the action of the French and English Governments, that our difficulties may be arranged without further effu sion of blood. The army desires an onward move ment. the capture of Washington, the consequent uprising in Maryland, and the possession of Balti more for quartering the army in the winter. What course will be settled upon is unknown, or whether the army will cross the Potomac, or commence the erection of winter quarters on this aide,' is also un known. A few days will determine everything. It is evident that a Wine has taken place in the councils of the Federal leaders, in regard , to the next field of military operation, and it is alsoevident that the authorities here are apprised ofthis change in the tactics of the Federalists. At this moment large bodies of troops are being sent to the Pe ninsula from Richmond ; fr,ooo men and 400 mounted men have been ordered to Yorktown." ARMS AND MILITARY STORED PROM MAW° A °Weston correspondent of the Crescent,. writing on the 10th ult., makes the following refer ences to the reception of arms from Mexico : ".The Indianola Courier says several thousand rifle and musket cartridges and s everal tons of lead arrived there on Sunday last from the Rio Grande. " I see by the Lavacca Key that Capt. Jordan, of the Green take Company, has returned from Mata moros, having succeeded in procuring three boxes of rifles and 1,100 pounds of powder." A Corpus Christi letter of the 28th ult., published in the Galveston papers, says: • " Great quantities of powder, lead, and percussion caps aro in transit from Mexico to the interior of this State, and a very extensive purchase of arms. ammunition, and equipments for infantry has been effected at Vera Cruz for the Confederacy, on very favorable terms. 4 ;A train from the Rio Grande also recently brought to San Antonio five thousand sacks of coffee." FROM TEXAS Recruiting appears to bo going on actively in Texas. The Governor has been called on for three thousand more troops. Two thousand are to go into camp, and ten companies of infantry and four of artillery to go on the coast and Rio Grande. A mounted regiment was being raised. A Taus paper give• the following rumor of lava don: Runner says that 3,000 Federal, or rather United States, troops have been landed at San Bias, or at some other point on the Paola° eoast of Mexico, for the purpose of marching across the country toward Tucson, and forming 1, Junction with the troops in New Arizona and Mexico, and then entering Texas by way of El Paso. If such is the case, they will probably be surprised to learn that their friends have been captured, ang that they will have to meet a strong Texas force instead of a strong body of Federal friends. The Brownsville Flag, in view of the expected interference in Mexican affairs by France and England, calls for the occupation of Northern Mexico by Southern troops, to at least the Sierra Madre. A Monterey correspondent of the San An tonio Ledger, however, takes a different view. lie says : "Let us be conyiiiM that the taking of Sierra Madre, either by voluntary annexation or by force, will be the downfall of slavery, as nowhere in these States would it pay, or could it compete with na tive labor, nor could we establish such a barrier as to prevent the slaves running into Mexico." STARTLING RGROR Under this caption the Savannah Republican, of September 17, says : " A soldier who came up from Fort Pulaski last night reports that an engagement between the Lincoln fleet and the fort at Port Royal commenced Monday afternoon and continued through the whole of yesterday. The gunswerc distinctly heard from Fort Pulaski." Prevailing Distress and Fears—The Rebel Campaign in Virginia Considered a Blunder. The Cincinnati Times of Saturday evening says that a gentleman named Charles Logan. from Og densburg, New York, who has been in Montgome ry, Alabama, for more than two years, arrived at Cincinnati on the Major Anderson, on Saturday morning, having made bis escape from the South, by way of Memphis, Union City, and Cairo. He says that it is impossible to ascertain whether there is, or is not, any Union sentiment still lingering in the South, as to express the least devotion to the old flag will bring down a series of persecutions of which we in the North can form no conception. Ile left Montgomery about the first of September, went to New Orleans, and thence northward to Natchez, Memphis, and Cairo. As he made loud professions of devotion to the Southern Confederacy, and had letters from prominent citizens of Alaba ma, he succeeded in reaching Union City on the 20th ult., without the least difficulty ; but he was detained for three days at the latter place, before being permitted to go on. and then only was allow ed to pass to Columbia, from whence he made his escape on foot. Re says that there are not, in all the Cotton States, from Charleston to New Orleans, 10,000 leell armed troops. The Home Guards are drill ing in all the cities, towns, and villages on each. day, but they have only old hunting rifles, shot guns, &c., and are very scarce of ammunition. The fall of Hatteras, and the probabilities of other expeditions of a similar character but on a larger scale, and against more important points, have stree'k consternation throughout the entire Soak. All the arms fit for use have been sent to the Potomac, and there is still a scarcity there of everything except artillery. The imprecations upon the heads of the poor Virginians. who are condemned as cowards, and even inferior to the Yankees, are both numerous and emphatic. It is the general opinian that the Coarl'cileracy did a bad work,wheit they prectpz ated Virginia. They say that, while they could easily have defended their own homes, without that State, their whole coast is now exposed to the de predations of " Northern Vandals," and that 10,000 men, landed at Charleston, Mobile, or New Orleans, would effectively disperse the army on the Potomac, when the whole command of McClellan, which they know to number over 200.000 men, would come down upon them like an avalanche, and they would be without troops enough concen trated in a single point, to resist him. "Divide and Conquer," they believe to be the motto of the North. The blockade is being enforced more strictly every day, and the pressure upon the Southern planters is becoming frightful Upon the mer chants and business-mon it can have no erect, as they are already bankrupt. 1 et, with all these discouragements, not a voice has yet been raised for submission ; but this, he thinks, arises from the fact that each man is afraid to be the first to speak. If once the ice were broken, and the first storm of indignation weathered safely, he is of opinion that a peace party, both numerous and determined, would spring At present, the opposition is confined to criti cisms of the conduct of officials in power ; and the:re are gaily he CO ,/2 isl encore PVCre, and they tl 1 , A • P.Oll 1 , 11?/ V 211. 6, - CI a. to t/ 0 rebels. The general impression prevails that New Or leans will be the next point of attack,and daily the wildest rumors of the approach of the Fede ral forces are circulated in that city. Hundreds would leave the city if they could, but=they arc unable to do P.O. The Rome Guards, unarmed as they arc, are regarded as protection. They are well drilled, but the blockade has effectually pre vented them from getting the supply of Belgian nmekete which have been confidently expected. Movement of Rebel _Troops from ltich- mond to YorktOwn. A correspondent of the New York Herald says that fugitives who recently escaped from Richmond to Washington report that there is an extensive movement of troops from Richmond to Yorktown, and that the railroad and every available means are used for the transportation of men and cannon night and day. Around Richmond, low , rows of wooden shanties are being erected, evidently, for winter quarters. Ina few days, all the prisoners at Richmond arc to be sent to different places fur ther south. Affairs in Richmond—News of McGraw and Eyster, of Pennsylvania. The Washington correspondent of the Tribane says: Col. 11. Kelly, of Greenwich, New York, has arrived from Richmond. Ile says that ex-Senator Benjamin is acting as Secretary of War ; General Bragg has not been appointed, and it is believed Bishop Polk will have the place. 150 to 200 Fede ral prisoners are daily sent to New Orleans and Charleston. None have been sent to North Caro lina since the Hatteras victory. Among those still in Richmond are Messrs. McGraw and Harris. The latter want to go to Kentucky, but neither has any chance of getting away. They are permitted to sleep in the court house. E. T. Boutwell, U. S. N., and Gen. Rentz were held as privateers, to be offset to the rebel privateer prisoners in New York. The General was at first on parole, but when it was learned that the Charleston pirates were in the Tombs he was put in jail. Mr. Eyster, merchant from Chambersburg, Penn., has been a prisoner nine weeks, and three weeks since was remanded to the common jail from the tobacco warehouse. His imprisonment is made so painful that he sent a message to the authorities begging, to be shot. Col. Seldon, of New York, and Mr. Shurtlilf, an artist from that city, attached to Bartlett's Naval Bri gade are also among the , prisoners. Some of the wood-cutters from Maine, taken from their jobs near the coast, ate also rusting in captivity. Jefferson Davis. The Richmond E.drynirer of the 24th contains this item : We are glad to say President Davis was able to be in hit office yesterday for the first time since hi 3 AFFAIRS• IN KENTUCKY. Affairs on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad [Correspondence of the Louisville Journal.] READouAnym.as, Roussmi.u'a BRIGADE, Near Rlizabethstown, Sept. -W.—Everything is quiet, and promises to remain so, for some days at least. A day or two since, six hundred cavalry passed clown, near Lebanon, from Anderson and other counties above, on their way to join Buckner. On arriving near hlunfordsville, they passed down in the di rection of the turnpike bridge, and it is supposed. from various rumors, that they destroyed it. Par ties of rebels from Central Kentucky are con stantly going over to Buckner. Stragglers from these parties aro brought into camp almost every day by our scouts. The people of Louigville will he gratified to learn that when the division advances Oolonel Rousseau will be placed in command of a brio-ade- Besides 0 the Kentucky boys, an Ohio regiment has paid him the high compliment of asking to be attached to his brigade. The position of the enemy at Green river is a very strong one, and it is not improbable that they will bring up all their forces, and make a strong stand there. The hill beyond Green river, rising to a considerable hei&ht, on the north side, falls elf but a few feet on the other side, and then spreads away in a high platoon. Thus a formidable natural breastwork is formed, the brow of the hill protect ing the enemy in a position from which he can command the passage of the river. Of course, it is useless to tire round shot against the side of a hill, and consequently, when we get to Green river, we are likely to witness the spectacle styled shelling the rebels.'' Judge Pryor and General Win. o.llntier Warning oil Humphrey Marshall. Judge Pryor, of Covington, who was appointed by General Anderson on a committee to visit the camp of IlumphroyaMarshall for the purpose of warning him nut to approach our borders, roturued to Covington on Tuesday morning. The. Juan and General Win. 0. Butler. of Carrollton, left Wnrsaw on TeeAlny, and proceeded in a buggy to Now Libeity, the suppoel leeatinra eg the tlivnnipraent, TWO. CENTS b ut found upon their arrival there- that Marshall and his followers had left and taken ,p a posWon, as was reported to them, at a point some fifteen. miles southeast from New Liberty, in want is known as the Eagle Bills. The purport of the - erder sent by Gen. Anderson was, that if he was organizing force with any hostile intentions against Ityse State of Kentucky, he must disband said forces aonce. Address of the Legislature A. Committee of the Kentucky Legislatur* has recently issued an address to the people of the State, in which, after denouncing the infamy raid duplicity of the traitors. in conclusion says : We believe we have done our duty to a chive , rie people, who have forborne long, but will never fail, as a last resort. to resent an in jury and punish' an insult. We should hold ourselves univoethy to represent you if we hail done less. The only error, we fear. is, that we have not been as prompt. you may think. as the occasion demanded. Thrice have the Revolutionists appealed to the ballot-box in this State, and thrice have the people expressed, by overwhelming majorities, their determination to stand by the Union and its Government. They have not been active in this war, not from inalirer• Vice or want of loyalty, but in the hope of better promoting a restoration of the Union, and checking the rebellion by that course. Our hope of an ami cable adjustment and a desire for peace led us to forbear until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. The attempt to destroy the Union of these States we believe to be a crime, not only against Ken tucky but against all mankind. But, up to this time, we have left to others to vindicate, by arms, the integrity of the Government. The Union is not only assailed now, but Kentucky is herself threat ened with 'subjugation by s rimless uourpation. The invasiett is earrled on with a to deitrite tiun of property and the lives and liberties of our people that belongs only to savage warfare. We have no choice but action—prompt and de cided. Let U 3 show the insolent invaders that Kentucky belongs to Kentuckians, and that Ken tucky valor will vindicate Kentucky's honor. We were unprepared because unsuspecting. An inso lent and treacherous invader tells the people that their legislators hare betrayed them and he comes with fire and sword to correct their error, by a crusade against property, liberty, and life. Young men of Kentucky, to arms ! to protect the home of your fathers, mothers, and sisters. Suund the tocsin on every kill and in every valley, until Kentucky shall drive the insolent invader from her soil. Probable Withdrawal of Rebel Soldiers from Virginia for Service in Kentucky. A Wa.hington correaporident of the New York 'Wert 'Jays; Serious doubts are entertained whether. after all their preparation, the rebel forces will have the temerity to attempt to cross, the Potomac, either above or below this city. It must be as evident to their leaders as it is to us, that such an effort can bring to them nothing but a disastrous defeat. In the moan time, their forces have nearly consumed all the available provisions in Virginia. A de. pendence upon its exhausted resources presents a sorry prospect for the winter campaign o long as Kentucky, and its vast granaries, afforded opportu alike to procure for them and transport them pork, beef, and grain, they were safe enough ; but to bo shut out from Kentucky is starvation to their army. It is a military necessity for them to recover the ground lost there by the active demonstration of Kentucky's hostility to Secession. To do this, and to secure to themselves the vast accumulations of pork and other provisions at Louisville, and grain and cattle in other parte of the state, they must strike without delay, before the Unionists there have been fully armed and organiv.ed. There are now not more than ten thousand Union soldiers de fending Louisville. In ten days more there will be. thirty thousand there, and an almost unlimited amount of artillery. The Union men are hurrying to the Union camps, with their own shot-guns and rifles. If Kentucky is not conquered in a week, the conquest will have to be abondoned altogether. These considerations, it is believed, have induced. the rebel chiefs to send forward= to Kentucky by railroad, via Nashville L a large part of the forces recently in Virginia. If this is true, the abandon ment of the lines in front of Washington is partially accounted for, and it is believed that Buckner has been largely reinforced from the rebel army of the Potomac. AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI. ST. LOUIS, October 1.--The Republican teams that a statement is forthcoming from Colonel Hard ing, the adjutant of General Lyon, who was, in the absence of General Lyon, in command of this de partment up to the period of General Fremont's arrival here, which will show_ beyond cinestion, the absolute inapegaibility of aid being rendered by Fri:mont before the battle of Wilson's. Creek, in which General Lyon fell. JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 30.--ISpecial despatch-to. the St. Louis R epub icand —There is no intelli gence of importance from BOOLICNiIIe. Georgetown ) Sedalia, or Glasgow. and no apprehensions are felt of aiiy immediate attack on any of those points-by the rebels. All the reports received from Lexington corrobo rate the opinion already expressed, that the rebels intend to keep their main force there; but it is stated that several bodies. ranging from two•hun dred to two thousand, have left there within, a. few days past for the north and west, but for what pur pose is unknown. General Fremont preserves a strict silence, but he is said to be actively engaged in obtaining the exact number of troops he can command; and organizing plans for the approaching engagement., on the success or failure of which. he is to rest his reputation, and win or lose his all. Every day an increased interest is felt in the approaching battle, for it is generally supposed that it will decide the fate of Dlissouri. Some, perhaps, murmur at the delay,. but Gene ral Fremont is determined to have everything ready before he advances, and not to strike a blow before he thinks it will be effeetive. The opinion is becoming generally prevalent that the Secessionists at Lexington arc by no means despicable, but that with their vast numbers and ample ammunition, their confidence and courage, they will make a powerful and determined resist ance. The pickets of Price's army descend from Lex ington to within about eight miles of Georgetown. They are stationed very near to each other, and thus the intelligence of all our mmiements is con veyed to Price's headquarters in the briefest space of time. A telegraph wiro was laid to General Frknont'a headquarters, at Camp Lilly, this afternoon. Fremont in the Field The St. Louis Democrat of the 27th ult. says Major General Fremont, with several of his staff officers, and other military assistants, on the 20th, left for Jefferson City to assume in person the im mediate and active command of his army in the field. [lle arrived at Jefferson City on the 27th. I The attention of the country is now riveted upon Missouri. From its commencement, the war drama here has been of peculiar interest. Camp Jackson, Booneville, Carthage, Springfield, and Lexington, with intervening tragedies only less thrilling, have in succession absorbed and intensely excited men's minds. All now feel that interests of incalculable moment hang upon the success of Fremont in his present movement. The situation of Missouri is critical. The rebels have gained advantages that have flushed them with unwonted hope, and are known to be moving forward in increasing numbers for the seizure of Important posts. We believe that their eon& denee will be short-lived. Though without the army which should be at his command, there is still every reason to believe that Gen. Fremont will speedily achieve a series of memorable successes, and in effect end the war in this State. That such will bo the result we feel as certain as we can be of any human event yet in the future. The enemy has repeatedly shown himself to be almost immea surably inferior to our troops, and has thus far gained whet he hes by wroldiug; light, and at length pouncing in immense numbers upon a comparative handful of them. This being his evident plan, it would seem to have been policy to draw him in force into the interior of the State, and thus sur round and capture or destroy him. Besides the paramount interest felt by Fremont in the security of Missouri and the prosperity of the country, he doubtless feels that ho has an im mense personal interest now staked upon his suc cess. Price and McCulloch are reported to have formed a junction of their forces near Georgetown, and to be together advancing, some thirty-five or. forty thousand strong, upon Jefferson City. Further, accounts represent that other prominent points are immediately menaced by the rebels. It is evident that they will now be left little leisure to prosecute their amateur warfare, and will scarcely be allesruch the alternatiN-e, as heretofore, of lisht or flislit. The indications are that they will be hemtned.im on all tides, and be forced to surrender at discre tion. Important Action of Gen. Price. The St. Louis Democrat says: t , We learned from sources of undoubted :tenability, that after the surrender of Col. Mulligan Gen. Price. pro. eeeded to organize his hums° force upon en in fantry basis, sending elf the large number of horses attached to his camp, and reserving out of the whole but four regimouts of cavalry. This proceeding meana at least two things, viz.: that the rebel general Intends to deprive his men of the opportunity of scattering or going ; home it they get tired.of campaignin; ; and that he is de termined to give Can. Fremont a fair stand-up fight whenever the occasion offers. This intelligence,, we are sure, will meet the hearty approbatitta of Gen, Frratertt and the bravo soldiers witkor him. A regular etanti , up, open-field fight is. just what they want. The Arrival of Fremont at jedefson City --Tao Expected 4attle.

[Correspondence of The PITH.] POIYTof ROCKS; Maryland, September 24; 1.361.. There are so many Pennsylvanians who have re-• latives or friends in Colcsmi•Geary's - regiment- that a Isnef account of pielret life on the - Upper Pete mac, from one who has spent some daye there. may not be without interest. Tin:regiment is encamped near Point of Rocks, from whence companies are detached for picket duty along-the river, above and below the "Point." The pickets - of a company extend for some distance from the "quarters" of the company, which-are located:generally near the centre of the line. From. five to eight men are assigned to each picket, where they form an almost independent family. They receive their ratione in bulk, and cook theni thinueelves. They are so plenti fully supplied that they have mere than they OHM use, and they exchange the surpine for little arti cles with neighboring farmers. Some of the pick , ets have substantial thatched hutszf•straw ; others are building "shanties" of boards, which they wilt line on the inside with straw. The• pieki3ts - occupy the narrow strip of land between Aloe Chesapeake and Ohio canal and the Potomac river. The scenery is of- the most beautiful description. Oar favorite Wiremhiekon den eat eseel It. The life has such charms for the men, and• they enjoy it so greatly, that their only: fear is•that they will ho recalled to camp, the monotony of which is increased by the contrasting_ excite ments of picket life. The danger is • not se great as may be imagined, for in front stretches the broad Potomac, from two to three - hundred yards wide, studded, it is true, with innumerable islets, but with the most ordinary vigilance ne person can approach our pickets from the Virginia side without being perceived. The pickets • are generally covered by trees, in addition to which they have their defences; they are comfortably equipped, have splendid arms, and are commanded by able and indefatigable officers. During lengthy conversations with the pickets along the whole line, no murmurs nor complaints were heard, all seemed happy and contented, and they almost idolize their Colonel, in whom they hate the most unbounded confidence. The nice in some places were in the highest spirits, full of fun and frolic, more like schoolboys than demure men. This is owinr , ' to their perfect health. They say they "never felt so well before in all their lives;" they are gene rally increasing in weight and strength; some of our "puny Philadelphia boys" now look as robust and hearty as those from the interior of the State. There have been some cases of fever and ague, but the approaching frosts will relieve the men from any apprehensions on that score. Strange as it may seem, the occasional appear ance of the enemy on the opposite bank, the daily alarms serve but to give additional zest to this wild life,. it keeps the men on the alert, their powers are aotivelv exercised, and when they lie down to sleep their slumbers are sound and sweet ; they arise refreshed and ready for action. They have fresh beef served to them on alternate days ; potatoes are part of their rations, and flour is some times Envoi instead of hard biscuit; those who are not too lazy con easily secure quite a variety of dishes by taking a little trouble in the culinary de partment. The men wash their clothes in the canal, and dry them on the bushes ' • the ironing is done in the wearing. Great credit is-due to Quartermaster B. F. Lee for his untiring exertions to provide for ihe sustenance of the men under Col. Gettry's cem mend; now amounting almost to a brigade. The vigor and spirit of an army depend gseatly upoh the condition of the stomachs of the men. This the quartermaster seems to understand. and the result is that Col. Geary has now under him a force upon which he can rely—of which Pennsylvania and the country has good reason to feel proud—and although we at home can never cease to feel anxious for their health, and their eventual safe re turn, it is a.satisfae.fion to know that they are well cared for, and asTomfortable as a patriotic response to their country's call can permit a soldier to be.

Of the weather, I can say but hot, hotter, hot test—thermometer 112 degrees. Oh, for an iee berg ; or, better still, an iced cobbler! Since my last, nothing hasoccurred to change the usual dull routine of our present life until Friday last, when quite a little excitement was created by ene of our small boats (which had been sent on a sort of soout ing expedition up the Pass) being chased by a rebel steamer, and many were the speculations as to the success or non-success of the chase. Our forecastle pivot was trained, ready to draw a bead on the " secesh" as soon as she came within range, bathe fore she had got within that desirable distance it was given up as a.bad job, and she returned. On sending ashore the next day we learned that she was fully armedyand was down on a kind of voyage of "see what you can see." Last evening the TTrater Witch. arrived here, bringing us news up to the I.sth.ultimo. She also brought us a man who had escaped from New Orleans about two weeks since and got on board the Brooklyn. He states that he saw. the groat " Prow steamer" they are there fitting,out to come down and visit As. nig description of bor. ii .she claci with ZAI.II - 914d trim, and completely arched over with iron, nothing visi. ble above her deck ; she mounts but one gun, and throws a number. of streams of hot water ; in ap pearance she represents a vessel bottom up ; she is to be ready in two weeks' time, but is as yet unde cided which one of us to "butt" Srst. We are ordered by flag officer, and send per Wa ter Tritch, twenty-five men and an officer to the Brookirt., to take part with a like number from her in erecting.o. fort at some par& up Paso a l'Ort tre. I refrain, from making any comments on the feasibility . of the plan, but lam doubtful any per manent benefit can be derived from it, with the small force we have, against the overwhelming numbers that the rebels can bring to bear upon us. It is reportedhere that there is a story in circula tion at home that several privateers have escaped from these pasties. As far as this pass is concerned, I most emPhatieally say it is false, and I very much doubt itany have got out at the others, al. though the blookade at the passes of this river are sadly ineffective.

I was unable. in.my last, to state exactly what it was the intention this party to do ; but, as I have since learned. the idea is to erect a battery at the junction of the passes, which will hold conanand of the whole river. AS , to the possibility of our holding this point against, the forces which may be marched against it, lam rather, doubtful ; but I surmise it is intended more for a blind to draw the attention of the rebels from Fremont's movements up the river. By the Con necticut came a new supply of officers for the squadron, and a recall of ten lieutenants and ten midshipmen, two of each from. this ship, much to the ssrrow of all hands, for, from our very loug,as soaistion, officers and men, had become se well ac customed to each other, that it has made a breach, not aasily filled among us. They go home to join. some of the new vessels fitting out ; and may they be ordered to duty worthy of them. for they are men of undoubted courage, faithfulness, mal t ability.
