Vrtss. MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1861 EXTRACT FROM THE LAST SPEECH OF STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS ! -- 64 The conspiracy to break up the Union isit fact now known to all. Armies are being raised, and war levied to accomplish it. There can be but two sides to the controversy. Every man must he on the aide of the United States er against it. There can be no neutrals in this war. There can be setae but Patriots and traitors.” TOR SALE.—The double-cylinder "TarLoa" Patin on which this raper has been printed for the last nine utonthe, it is in excellent condition, having been mad* to order a year ago, and will be .01,1 at a bargain.

The Latest War News As the campaign progresses the important points around which the tide of battle, or the preparations for tiredly eontest, centre, increase in number and in interest. The whole nation is awaiting with deep anxiety the results of the movements in Mis souri, along the line of the Mississippi, in Ken tucky, in Western Virginia, on the Upper and Lower Potomac, at Newport News, at Fortress Monroe, and along the line of the Southern sea coast, which is not only blockaded ; but menaced by great naval expeditions that are popularly sup posed to be strong enough to capture any Southern seaboard oily. - No important new developments have recently been made in regard to the campaign in Missouri. It is stated that General Woos, will not, at present, be sent even temporarily to that State, and, on Sa turday, he returned from Washington to Fortress Monroe. There seems to be a disposition to give 6 en erai FRNMOTir a full and fair trial, cotwithstaud ing the charges against him. A portion of our forces moved westward of Jefferson City, on the 4th inst., for the purpose of advancing upon the enemy, and it was supposed that General FlLE mosr intended, on Saturday, to make a similar forward movement. Our army is well ap pointed, in fine spirits and condition, and burning with a desire to meet and vanquish the foes of the Union. In St. Louis the Secession sympathizers have been greatly emboldened by the recent exploits of the traitors, and some of them boast that in less than a month that great city will fall into the hands of the rebels, but it is scarcely conceivable that so great a calamity can befall the country. The late news from Kansas shows that the people of that State are thoroughly aroused, and they are prepared, almost to a man, to serve for the war. In Kentucky the conviction is now universal that an iremense force is to be employed in the in vasion of that State. BECESER spoke truly when he said that his army was only the advance guard of the host that would follow in his footsteps. The rebel Congress formally decided upon the "con quest" of Kentucky, and to sustain this project the Governor of Tennessee has called out a force of 30,000 men. All the Secessionists in the district assailed are expected to join in the war upon their own soil and against their own relatives and friends, and all the forces that can be spared from Virginia, or from the Southwestern States, are to be sent forward to join in this infamous raid. On the other hand, the four great States of Ohio, In diana, Illinois, and Kentucky are appealed to to drive back these aggressive miscreants, as a mea sure of self-defenee, as well as for the preservation of the Government and the relief of their suffering countrymen. That they will be ultimately success ful we cannot doubt. It will be seen that both branches of the Legislature have adopted, by an overwhelmilg majority, a resolution requesting Senaton. DIZTICKINI2IDGE and PowELL to resign the seats iu which they have shamefully misrepresented their loyal constituents. `General W. T. SEIERMAX (and not General IlleCoox, as heretofore reported,) is the officer who is hereafter to be entrusted with the chief command in Kentucky, in lieu of General A - snriesox, whose feeble health has induced him to desire partial relief from the preising duties here tofore imposed upon him. NO very important movement has recently os. curred on the line of the Potomac. Both armies arc becoming as well prepared as possible for a great struggle, and, for the present, the ominous lull that precedes a storm prevails. General McCr.v.trAx is about to have a grand review of cavalry and artillery. The election, which is to be held in the Pennsylvania camps to-morrow, may, it is feared by some of the officers, have a de moralizing effect upon the troops, but it will evi dently not be interfered with, as every neces sary facility is afforded to the civil officers who desire to furnish the blanks necessary to make" legal returns. On Friday, n Union reconnoissance was pushed nine miles farther into Virginia than any mov ement since the battle of Manassas. Our troops. breakfasted at Peldek Church, sixteen ream beyond Alexandria, and the country was traversed for a considerable distance in every direction with out finding any large bodies of troops north of Occoquen river. We publish on our first page a number of interest ing items of Southern news, obtained from late num_ bers of the rebel papers and other sources. The health of JEFFERSON Mons has so much improved that he visited Fairfax Court House last week, and made a personal reconnoissance of the outposts of the camps of his army. Evidences are furnished of the continued exist ence of a strong Union 'feeling in Louisiana, in North Carolina, and even in parts of Eastern Vir ginia. The pressure of the blockade is very se riously felt. Rye is being used as a substitute for coffee, and great efforts are constantly being made to devise measures for manufacturing some of the numerous indispensable articles with which the people of the South are very poorly supplied. The brig Cronstadt, at Gloucester, Mass., from Surinam, report.= that on the 15th September, off the port of Surinam, ehe saw the United States steamer rowhatan, steering east, and in search of the privateer steamer Simper: A correspondent of a New York journal, writing from Fortress Monroe under date of the 3d instant, says that "the Jamestown. and Yorktown, of the old Richmond line, are still watching a °halloo to run down to Norfolk. It is understood on good authority that they are not coppered, and before they attempt to run the blockade here, and put to sea, it will be necessary for them to go into dry dock at the navy yard, and have their keels and bottoms thoroughly overhauled and repaired. The only thing that troubles them is the blockade at Newport News. Once past this, they would have no difficulty in getting to Norfolk. A. sharp lookout is kept for them, and it is more than doubt ful whether they will ever get to the month of the James river while we hold our position at Newport News. Yet it is all-important that we should be prepared for them down here, as, once passed, it would be difficult to catch either of them, and from what we know of the capacity of the Sumpter to de harm to our commerce, we can easily imagine the injury ehips.of the Jamestowm's class could inflict on our commerce on the Atlantic coast." A despatch received last night from Louisville say's that the Federal forces occupy Ship Island and the Cbandaleur. The city of New Orleans is Ve Verlagy menaced that the Governor of Louisi anajuis ordered all its stores to be closed every day after two o'clock, and the whole population capable of bearing arms are compelled to drill. Terrible consternation evidently prevails in that quarter. The Great Eastern. We publish a letter from one of the passen gers of the Great Eastern, from which may be realized a better idea of the imminent peril of that vast vessel than has been conveyed in any other narrative. The facts which we gather are these : First: the Great Eastern was sent to sea, literally prepared for nothing." Second: the storm was not a furious one,—and it is on re cord that the Persia and another ocean steamer which were exposed to it reached country without damage or delay. Third : the articles in the vessel, from anc,hors and oil-tanks to tables and footstools, were wholly unfastened. Fourth: the Great Eastern rolled fearfully, even in a moderate "sea, having no ballast and only two or three hundred tons of cargo. Fifth the paddles were so weak that they were soon beaten to pieces. Sixth : the bag gage was "smashed to bits," because it was laid down in one of the compartments, without being secured and stored, and was &tailed from side to side, in a foot of water, until it was all ground up into fragments. Seventh : every thing in the saloons and dining rooms was also reduced to a dibris of like character. Eighth: pe.safety of the vessel was ()king, under God, to Mr. TOWLE, an American engineer, anti one of the passengers; who contrived and fitted up a steering- apparatus; but the captain and his head engineer endeavored to deprive Mr. TowLE of the credit of his skill and readiness, and the English portion of the passengers sided with the captain ! Lastly : fifty-two cases of fracture occurred, liesides several broken legs, arms, a collar -bone, Wrist, &c." it. is scarcely probable, whoever else may venture to sea in that gigantic failure, the Great Eastern, that any rational American will run the risk. To do so would look like tempt ing Providence. On OVA rovarit ?min will be found interest ing reports of the proceedings of, the meeting in support of the Union movement, which was held at Frankfort', on Saturday evening, and addressed by Wm. WELSH, JOHN W. Foaarm, and pANIEL DOUGHERTY, ENS., and of the meeting of the People's party, held at Na tional Hall, on the samelevening. NEw JERSEY is Sound to the core, notwith ' standing the wail of Mr. JAMES W. WALL, who has repaid the generosity of his Govern n.ent in releasing him from Fort Lafayette by the busiest and bitterest abuse or some of the best friends of the Union, and whose example I has induced the secret Secessionists here and elsewhere to believe there is doubt as to the loyalty of the people of our neighbor State. As one of the thousand evidences of the pa triotic feeling now prevalent in New Jersey, we notice that an immense meeting was held at Trenton on Monday evening, the flOth of September, in the proceedings of which many of the most emiment members of the Demo cratic party participated, side by side with t the leading Republicans. The veteran Chan cellor i peirs presided, and the distinguished STACY GOPOTTS wrote an ardent letter en dorsing the action of the meeting, the senti ments of which were heartily responded to in the resolutions and by a number of leading orators. A single extract from this fine letter shows where New Jersey stands to-day : An old-line Democrat of the Jackson school, I supported the old hero in the measures he adopted to put down Southern nullification' thirty years ago: and now that the nullification of that day has ripened into the rebellion of this. and, instead of being confined to one State, has infected the whole South, I feel that all party distinctions should be merged in one senthnent—that of patriotism, devo tion to the Union. the vindication of our national institutions and our national honor. As long as the South sought for the redress of grievances in a constitutional way, I earnestly de sired conciliation—most heartily advocated com promise—most deeply, I deprecate the strife of sec tions. it since, courting the fearful issue, the Southern leaders broke the Democratic party into fragments, for the very purpose of securing the election of Mr. Lincoln, and then made that elec tion the pretext for rebellion, I feel that there is but one duty left for us to perform, and that duty is, to put down the rebellion—to prove to the world that our institutions are not a failure—and to vin dicate the honor of an 'insulted flag.'. "I pray Uod for pence--my heart sickens at the carnage and desolation of civil war_ But better, even this. a thousand times ' than a broken and dis severed Union—the eternal discord of hostile fac tions, changed into hostile governments—and per haps, worse than all, the wreck forever of free institutions in the world." The tinion men of New Jersey are not men of more professions—they practise what they promise—and accordingly, a committee was appointed at the above meeting to prepare an organization, the object of which was to ignore all party, and to nominate candidates entirely irrespective of former political divisions. When will the party leaders in our midst open their eyes to their true duty, alike to the Adminis tration and to the country ? Death of Senator Bingham The Ron. KINGSLY S. BINGHAM, U. S. Sena tor from Michigan, died of apoplexy, at his residence, at Green Oak, on Saturday. He was born in Camillas, OnondagO county, New York, December IG, 1808. He received a fair academic education, and was early placed in the office of a lawyer as clerk, where he served three years. In 1833 he emigrated to Michigan and settled upon a farm. Elected in 1831 to the Michigan Legislature, he served five years as a member of that body. lle afterwards served three years as speaker of the same body. Ile was a Representative in Congress from Michigan from 1849 to 1851, and served during that term on the Committee of Com merce. In 1854 he was elected Governor of the State, and held that position till 1859, when he was elected to the United States Senate. Judge Allison. The general disposition of our citizens to sustain all the old judges whose terms are about to expire, should be, and we think is, strong enough to secure their re-eleetion, not withstanding the insidious efforts of their op ponents. At present there appears to be a stronger effort to antagonize Judge ALLISON than any other candidate, but we hope these schemes will prove unsuccessful. lle has ably and faithfully discharged his duties on the bench, and this is no time to malte.rash experiments for the benefit of ambitious legal aspirants. We should be thankfhl that we have a pure and conscientious bench, and the only way to keep it so is to show judges that while they are true to the people the people gill true to them. We therefore hope that Judge Arr.rsox, like his associates, will be cordially sustained to-morrow by the great mass of the voters of all parties. Public Amusements. "Jeannette," which has been so well got up and so finely played at Arch-street Theatre, will be repeated every evening this week, and Mrs. Drew announces the receipt of two new plays from Paris, the exclusive right of representing them in this city being hers. The burlesque of " Mazeppa" and the old comedy of "The Way to Keep Him" are underlined here. Matilda Heron, an actress of very great ability and fine artistical tact, whose performance of Ilredca, was mentioned in England as equal to the most suc cessful efforts of Ristori, commences an engage ment at Walnut•street Theatre this evening, when a new flre-act ecinedy, expressly written for her, and called " The Belle of the - season," will be played for the first time in America. New scenery and decorations are promised—for which novelty we beg to thank Mr. Richings, the stage manager —and the piece is well cast, including Miss Heron, Miss Gray, Miss Henrardc, Mrs. Thayer, Edwin Adams, J. S. Wright, Ito. Miss Heron, whom we are glad to claim a denizen of Philadelphia, always has played a fine engagement here, and is pretty certain of no diminution of success on this occasion. At the Continental Theatre, during the present week, ig The Tempest" will be played as an after piece, the performances commencing with (i The Dramatist,'." the part of Vapid by Mr. Wheatley. The on dit is that a striking novelty will be pro duced at this theatre next week. It will be diffi cult, in scenic effect, to equal the splendid closing scene of "The Tempest." McDonough's Olympic Theatre was reopenecLon Saturday evening, when the house, whose decora tions and improvements we lately noticed, was crowded. He has variety enough, at all events. On Saturday afternoon, in each week, there will be a matinee for ladies and children. MRS. BOWERS.-With very few exceptions, the whole press of London has spoken highly of Mrs. Bowers' debut at Sadler's WellS' Theatre, and hailed her as a talented addition to the very limited number of good English actresses. Notwithstand, lug, she played no more flume few nights, though engaged for the season. We understand the feet to be that Mr. Phelps, manager of Sadler's Wells' Theatre, and himself a very fine performer, has a son, to support whose debut Mrs. Bowers was en gaged. Unfortunately, this young gentleman did Lot succeed, while lea. 'Rowers did, and her suc cess seems to have Induced the management to shelve her, for #te present, and force young Phelps on the public. Assuredly, theatrical and manage rial policy is infinitely mysterious. A new circus will this evening be opened, by Messrs. Gardner d; Hemming, in Twelfth-street, below Spruce. They promise as fine a selection of horses ; equestrians, and gymnasts as has been in this city for years. The clowns are Gardner and Ward. It is intended to have afternoon perform ances every Wednesday and Saturday. It may be remembered that Messrs. Gardner S: Hemming gave their equestrian performances last winter, in the National Theatre, (now Wheatley's Continen tal,) Walnut street. WALGII'S ITALIA.—This evening, at Assembly Buildings, Chestnut and Tenth, a splendid series of admirable paintings, by our well-known, and very brilliant artist, Mr. Waugh, will be exhibited to the public, with new stereoscopic views of the present rebellion. Mr. Waugh's pictures illustrate Northern, Central, and Southern Italy. Mr. W. F. Fenno, well-known as a man of letters and an actor, will describe the paintings. The exhibition will be on view every evening this week, and on the afternoons of Wednesday and Saturday. The Evening Bulletin. On Saturday the Daily Evening Bulletin ap peared in new and clear type—and we are glad to notice this as a proof of decided success. Mr. Pea cock, its accomplished, judicious, and hard-work ing. editor, has greatly elevated its character since the change of proprietorship, some time ago, and its ability and loyalty have made it no vain boast, we believe, that its circulation now surpasses that of every other evening paper in America.

Carter, of * Carter county, Tennessee, a staveholder and property oo•rier of the South, who in devoting hie time tool means to thernion cause. The grandfather of Mr. Carter was president of the Convention that formed the i first Co4stitutk.lll of Tenue.iaeo. • LETTER. FROM " OCCASIONAL." WASHINQTON„ Oct. 6, 1861 There is a favorite drama in which a some what notorious personage._ plays the leading part, and proves how easy it is to deceive poor human nature by pious professions and ele venth-hour penitences. In some of the scenes be appears in his true character. We see his hoofs and his tail, and, occasionally, think we smell his sulphurous breath. In others he is a whining, canting, lying gentleman in black." We know how deaf he is to mercy, how cold to entreaty, and with what satanic malignity he pursues his victims, even to the verge of the grave. And yet, it is impossi ble not to be surprised at the manner in which he pretends to reform when he assumes another role, by the fervor of his prayers, and the ear nestness of his denunciations of all vice, and by the seeming sincerity with which he de votes himself to virtue and benevolence. No body is deceived, however. We rise from the exhibition with the good lesson in our hearts, that while it is always right to forgive the errors and sins or those who honestly repent, there arc still some offences which eleventh hour confessions cannot entirely expiate. In fact, when the playwright introduces his sa tanic majesty upon the stage, and shows how successfully he can put on an air of morality and religion, his object is, unquestionably, to teach the world that some men_ are fond of cc stealing the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in." I have been reading James Buchanan's last letter to a so-called Union meeting in Penn sylvania. It is a fair missive, couched in good English, and was, doubtless, sent forward, written in the round, faultless, and genteel chirography that has always distinguished the ex-President of the United States. Mr. Bu chanan has ever prided himself upon his hand writing. He punctuates like a printer, writes like a practised clerk, and is careful that his signature shall be as stately as his own per sonal bearing. I saw one of his recent epistles, and find that old age has left him with almost an untrembling styL, and that he is as critical and as hypocritical in preserving the propriety of things in his correspondence as when, thirty years ago, he scattered his letters over Penn sylvania, making more than one heart glad by his pharisaical promises. Wh it is considered that the ex-Presi dent'iTrue policy in all our troubles was to maintain at least the appearauce.of a dignified reserve, he cannot murmur if, when he breaks that reserve, his own record should be par tially opened up, and his relations to past events, the recollection of which still rankles in the hearts of twenty-two millions of peo ple, fearlessly and indignantly, discussed. His countrymen prefer that he should be left to the awful Judge whom he is soon to meet, and in the spirit which leaves him to that great Arbiter they have reverently refrained taking his case into their own bands, or even of bestowing upon it such comments and con demnation as it deseres. But as a compen sation for this, they demand that he shall maintain silence. They Ithxy their own disk tresses and their duties—the authors of the one and the incentive's to the' iother. Above all, while they hunger for connselfrom tke good and the brave, and greet with ardent welcome every indication of candid regret on tiepart of those who were deluded by James BuChanan, they do not believe .the great cause in 'Which they are engaged can ili any respect be assisted by the public and pittentiot4 actiqee of the man who has been the chreflogent in all the mischiefs - that disturb and threaten to dislocate our happy Union. I forbear the4tse of harsh phrases ; but if Mr. Buchanan is Anxious to provoke a discussion of the acts' of his Administration, before he has been gathered to his fathers, he can have it. I knoWthat he is deliberating a posthumous vindica tion of his conduct. I know that he contemplates an attack upon the independent men who forewarned him of the consequences of his infamous policy; and ifis asserted and believed that his preparations to this effect will lie marked by more than the usual malig nity and cruelty that characterized his course after a confiding people had put him into the Presidential chair. It may be that his letter is the forerunner of this demonstration—an attempt to secure a hearing froth that Ameri can people 'whom he so shamefully outraged and betrayed. But the questions he will be Compelled 19 answer to future generations in this vindiOation cannot be glossed over by assaults upon those who contended against his Administration and pointed out - the conse quences of his treachery, nor yet by giving false reasons for the manner in which he per mitted traitors to undermine the Constitution, even in his own official household. He will be forced, if he desires to secure a respectable position among historical characters, to confess that he did wrong from the beginning to the end. Whether it would not be well for him, before he is called away, to expose to the world the wretched instruments who used him; upon the one hand, and whom he used upon the Other, is a matte: , of good taste that may be properly referred to his own conscience. He has a vast amount of information in his possession. He is one of those long lived men who treasure up every confidential communication and letter. Ile has a com plete daily journal or record of all that trans pired in his Cabin6t councils. Why not make a clean breast of all this ? Why stand upon a matter 'of personal pride, and attempt to buy or beg an audience from his countrymen to listen to his apologies after his death? He need not fear the vengeance of the Southern traitors. They utterly despise him; because, after laving permitted them to conduct him to the precipice, he had not the courage to follow them into the abyss of Disunion. Nothing that he could giVe to his country could be more valuable than the experience gleaned after he surrendered to these enemies of the human race. If he waits much longer his evi dence will be of little valtie. This is the day and the hour. If he would be forgiven by posterity, let him pay that decent : tribute to the present generation, by showing, in other ways than by writing letters to pseudo' Union meetings, that he is sincerely penitent for the inconceivable wrongs he has heaped upon the American people. OcCASIONAL. Win. Bradford. [For. The Press.] Some well-disposed people have been led into the false impression that William Bradford, whe has represented the Seventh ward in the Select or Com mon Councils for the fast six years, and who has been nominated for re-election, is a sharer of the sentiments and sympathies of Vincent L. Brad ford, who. on the 16th of last January, acted as chairman of the committee of arrangements of the decidedly Secession meeting which was held at Con cell Ball, on the evening of the above date. This opinion, however, does great injustice to William Bradford, who was chairman of the committee of Select Council which presented the resolutions that were adopted on the 17th of September, thy anni versary of the adoption of the Constitution, from Which I copy the following: "Resolved, That the doctrine that a State may absolve its citizens from their national allegiance, and may withdraw at will from the Union, is a monstrous political heresy, and the attempt to ex ercise this pretended right is a crime of the deepest dye." Military Preparations in Kansas. ST. Louis, Oct. 6.—The Leavenworth correspon dent of the St. Louis Republican, under date of the 2d, gives the following information: A full battery of iron six-pounders has been pre sented to the Home Guard of Leavenworth. They wore cast in this city, being the first attempt at casting ordnance. After the Tall of Lexington, Gen. Sturgis made a requisition upon Major General Steno, of the Kan sas militia, to call out the militia of the eastern counties of Kansas. The people responded warm ly to the call, and poured into Wyandotte in large numbers. Tbey were immediately sworn into the United States service, and now compose part of Gen. Sturgis' command at Kansas city. The Second Kansas regiment, under Major Cloud, is also at Kansas city. Col. Mitchell, its commander, is ra pidly recovering from his wounds received in the battle of Springfield. Rine regiments, most of which are full, and the rest rapidly filling up, have been furnished by Kansas for the war. In addition to this, we have twice responded to the call of the authorities, and furnished thirty-day men when danger threatened. Every man in Kansas is now well-drilled, and ready to fight if occasion required it. Major Prinee is still the commander of the post at Fort Leavenworth, and is prosecuting with vigor the work of strengthening and fortifying posi tion. A long line of earthenworks and entrench ments have been thrown up on the west of Fort 'Leavenworth.. The river side is• protected by pickets and masked batteries. Such 'a thing as taking the fort by surprise is now out of the ques tion. General Wool Returned to Fortress Monroe. BALTIMORE, October O.—General Wool arrired here yesterday afternoon from Washington, and left immediately in the boat for Old Point, on his return to Fortress Monroe.

LATEST FROM MISSOURI. REPORTED DEATH OF BEN. McCULLOCH, Special Despatches to «The Press." WASHINGTON, October 6, 1861 The Pursuit of the Pirate Sumpter. The Navy Department. has received a letter from Commander Scorr, of the steamer Keystone State, dated Aspinwall, Sept. 25, in which he states that he has been cruising on the coast of Yucatan, but obtained no information either of the pirate Stemii- ter or her prizes. He was alike unsuccessful in the vicinity of theasie of Pines and Cienfuegos, The Sumpter, it was said, endeavored to procure coal at Demerara and Cayenne, and was ref Used. The merchants of Paramacaibo likewise declined to fur nish coal, but it was finally obtained fronta Scotch man Commander Scorr says that Capt. SEMMES, of the Sumpter, is aware that our vessels are in search of him, and that, therefore, he will: not again appear in the West Indies. The fact is ascertained that the Sumpter has taken several prizes under the British flag and decoyed others under our own, with the union down. This should serve as a warning to United States merchantmen. The Abby Bradford, esiptured off Puerto Cabello, in July, is the last prize taken by the Sumpter._ The crew of the Snmpter numbers sixty-four mon, in n disorganized condition. Several of them have escaped. and will be sent home. Applicants for Office and Contracts. The War Department is overrun by applicants for office and contracts, and the Secretary's door is constantly besieged by persons who want interviews with him to subserve personal ends. The Secretary ;desires it to be distinctly understood, that there are to vacancies of paymasters, quartermasters, or commissaries in his gift. •Nor are there any appointments of officers of the line to be made ex cept in the regular course of promotion. When second lieutenancies are thus vacated the plaoes will be filled by appointments from the ranks_ All contracts for supplies, munitions, etc., are made re spectively by the quartermaster general, commis sary general, and the chief of ordnance, and to them all parties should apply who have proposals to make. Applicants for appointments as acting masters and masters' mates should be made to the /i - avy Department in writing, and not in person. The War Department ean furnish the revised army regulations only to the offieeis'of the army, and not to members of' Congres.s and other appli cants. The telegraph from the various evil= oc.the army of the Potomac, to-day, indicates. Move ment. Both armies are ready for action,__ but neither of them has any disposition to take the re sponsibility of the initiatory diet How long this state of affairs will remain no one, not even Gene rals SCOTT or MCCLELLAN, can tell. There is at'' command very satisfactory evidence that the rebel army is getting impatient, uneasy, and fretful, and the men are,. in bodies 4... companies and regi ments, asking to be relleied. It is also demonstra ted by proof the the army is becoming decidedly shabby in their dieas , without a prospect of being supplied with nintegnrments. On-the otherhand, the Federal army has .everything it can desire to eat, drink, and wear, whll4 the-men are all con tented, and are becoming ,chilly more . ,perfilt in drill and military exercise Rua kcipline. It is rumored that Taos. FRANCISAISAGIIER, who is now raising an Irish Brigade in New York, will be offered the brigadier generalship declined by Hon. JAS. Sam Los, on account of his health. Sixty Soldiers ,Captured The telegraph states that when captured there were twenty-five soldiers on board the . steamtug Fanny. lam officially informed that there were CiNty of our mon ca board, all of who wore taken prisoners. Pennsylvania Politicians. The politicians from Pennsylvania continue to arrive. They have not. all succeeded, however, in crossing the Potomac, for the purpose of elec tioneering. Every facility has been afforded by the military authorities to the sheriffs deputies who are entrusted with the delivery of blank returnefor Tuesday's election. Military Appointments. Governor Monaaw," of New York, has appointed Capt. BA:r3EAR, of the IT. S. army, to be colonel of the Thirty-seventh Regiment of that state. Lieutenant Colonel Durum has been elected to succeed Col. MCCUNN, who was ordered from Washington. A committee, consisting of the senior captains of the regiment, have, in the name of the regiment, waited on Gen. McCLELLax, asking him to confirm their choice of a colonel, with which re quest he will probably comply. The objection is not to Col. HAYMAN, but to the interference of Gov. MORGAN, and besides, the regiment claim the right to make their own selection. The Kentucky Cavalry, formerly under the com mand of Col. YOUNG, is to be known hereafter as the Third Regiment of Pennsylvania Cavalry. Lieutenant Colonel OwEns, there is little doubt, will be appointed to the chief command. A Rebel Battery Near Falls Church. Yesterday, about sundown, General K.Evns drove out to the village of Falls Church. He was accompanied by one of his staff and two orderlies.

Particulars of the Capture of the Propeller The following statement of the master of the army transport Fanny gives the particulars of her capture by the rebels: She was despatched by Col. HAW sins with clothing, ammunition, provisions, &c., to Chicka macomico, for the supply of the troops recently stationed there. After the news of the capture of the Panlry wee received at Hatteras ] Col. Moir tam called upon the commanding naval officer in these waters for a force to go to the relief of the troops. An armed expedition was fitted out which sailed on the morning of the 3d inst., but nothing bad been heard from it at 5 o'clock that evening, when information was laat received from that quarter, STATEMENT OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE FANNY The following is the statement of the master of the Fanny HATTERAS INLE7 Oct. I. I left in the steamer Fanny at 6 o'clock A. M., for Chickamacomico, or Loggerhead Inlet, arriving there at 1 o'clock P. M. We anchored in about eight feet of water, end waited there two hours and a half before we got a communication from the shore. They, then brought a flat-boat off and loaded her with an assorted cargo of stores, tents, do. When the boat had shoved off, and got about two-thirds of the., way on shore, we saw a steam boat to the westward, about 4 o'clock P. M., which proved to be one of the enemy. She was standing to out off our retreat, and in a short time two more appeared, steering directly for us. The first one then stood in,_ and commenced Bring upon na, and as soon as the other two came up dia r y did the same. We returned their fire with nine shots, striking one of the boats in the bow. Then, Cap tain Hart, of the Twentieth Indiana Regiment, suggested us to surrender, saying that it was no use fighting against such odds, and requested us to hoist the white flag. The mate of the boat, and a few soldiers, turned to and threw overboard some thirty cases of ammunition, and Captain Hart forbid them to throw any more overboard. We likewise requested the sergeant major to throw the cannon overboard, which e refused to do, saying ' that it would be worse for them, if they were taken prisoners. Captain Hart then requested the chain to be slipped and the boat run ashore, which was done. The white flag was then hoisted, and the crew of the'boat left in their 'boata. We andea von:idle get boats to carry the soldiers from the Fanny, but could not do so. To the beat of my opinion, they had plenty of time, from our arrival to that of the enemy's boat, to have got everything on shore from the Fanny, if, sufficient boats had been employed in the transportation of the stores. so that we could have destroyed the Fanny before she should have fallen into the hands of the rebels. We left there about 6 o'clock P. M.; is a canoe, and arrived here about 7 o'clock A.. M. ce the 2d instant. J. 11. Alortaiso BY TELEGRAPH. The Army To-Day. T. F.

FROM MISSOURI. REPORTED DEATH OF M'CULLOCH. Sr. Loris, Oct. 6.—The correspondence of the Democrat gives the following : Ronne, Mo., Oct. 6.—.Prominformationgathered from scouts, there are about 11,000 armed rebels scattered over the southwestern part of the State, including 6,000 to 7,000 at Camp Walker, Arkan sas, 8 miles below the Missouri line, under com mand of young Ben. McCulloch. Major Wright, of the Home Guards, furnishes the following statement A physician well known to the major, whose name lam not permitted to use, arrived from the southwest on Tuesday eve ning This physician was formerly a partner of Dr: Snell, Gen. McCulloch's army surgeon. The former very recently had an interview with his old partner, and was told by him that in the battle of Springfield McCulloch was shot through the hips and a glance ball also struck - him in the forehead. Soon after making his report of the battle, MeCulloeh with the Texas forces was or• dered back to Texas, but after reaching Camp Chesapeake, near Mount Vernon, he died from his wounds. Before he expired he spoke freely of the manner of his treatment by the Missourians, and declared that if he had known the true position of affairs ho never would have entered the State. His body was placed in a metallic coffin and conveyed to Texas. Ills death was concealed even from his own men fur a time, it being the policy of the surviving leaders to operate on the prestige of his name. His eon, Ben McCulloch, Jr., was therefore placed in nominal command, in order to keep up the deception. Major Knight, who is an old ac quaintance of McCulloch, having as late as the winter before the last ranged with him up the Colorado, is convinced that the latter is dead.

It seems that in the morning a writ of habeas corpus hail been issued by Judge Ludlow, directing Col. McLean to produce in court the body of a recruit who was under IS years of age. The Colonel failed to appear in court, in obedience to the writ, awl accordingly an attachment for contempt was issued. Officer Thomas was entrusted with the writ, and at one O'clock In the afternoon lie tact Colonel McLean ularre the tilrard QvileBT, where hit was ourvrio tending the disembarkation of his regiment, which left the camp ground, and came thus far in care. The olticer made known his errand. Colonel Me - Lean it - mired the nature of the hushmss, and the officer explained it and read part of the writ, and asked the colonel to accompany. him. Colonel 3lcLean said he would not obey the writ, as he could not leave his regiment to become scattered. Officer Thomas re monstrated with him, and the colonel became indignant. Officer Thomas endeavored to impress the fact upon the colonel that he was still under the laws of the United States. To this lie replied that be had his orders front Washington, and these enter. were Kromer titan those of the court. The officer explained to the colonel that the writ of attachment required him to bring to court his body. Whereupon Colonel McLean threatened that if he attempted to lay his hands upon him he would call to his assistance hit men. Finally, he told the officer that he intended to march his regiment to the Refresh ment Saloon, and he would stop in and see the judge on his way down. _Finding. that he could do nothing towards executing the writ, °nicer Themes returned to court and reported the Teets to Judge indlOW, Ill4jll a inlnt.±- dotelY nut for Sheriff Kthi, dud direelea him to take a ut,ese end execute the writ ; Lunt bring before hint the body of Colonel McLean. Sheriff Kern is acquainted with Clout McLean, and, instead of calling upon assist ance, concluded to see him and persuade him to appear in court. The regiment was met en the march down town. NO eeeuo woo e,otten tip , hut, as the kotite lay thAvit Sikth street, the sheriff waited until the Colonel reached Chest nut street, when he informed him of the nature of his buSiness. Without hesitation, Col. McLean agreed to appear in court. The head of the line was halted at 'Wal nut street, and then the rear was at Chestnut street. Col. McLean dismounted, and, at the door of the court-room, gave up his sword and entered the room, mid, going be fore the Judge, inquired why he with detained while on the march. . Judge LudlOw, who now noticed the soldiers spread along Sixth street; interrupted the colonel, and inquired if the men were armed ,• and, upon receiving a reply in the negative, he ordered the colonel to he sworn. [The regiment was leaving for Washington without muskets.] Colonel life Lean, under oath, diSOVO‘Voi /WY intention to insult the court or place its writ at defiance. When he received the attachment he was on the march, and he was apprehensive lest his men might become scattered, and so get intoxicated. He was a soldier, in the United States service, and hail received marching oilers, which, if he disobeyed, imperilled his own life, and he did not consider, at the time, that he 'had any right to obey any that order would interfere with arose from his superior sale r. - lie did not consider the boy mentioinsl in the writ of sufficient importance to warrant him in detaining his regiment, and risk their separation. Judge Ludlow—Were you in the act of moving your regiment when the writ was served ? Colonel McLean—l was getting the men out of the cars, and had I left them then, I could no have had them here now. I had received marching (mites. The Colonel reiterated his disinclination toereat With disrespect the order of the court. Ile though the owed a ditty to his regiment paramount to all things. Judge Ludlow said that under the circumstances, the Colonel had not explained away this seeming con tempt, he had made up his mind to sustain the civil law, which was supreme over the military. If he thought there was any unwillingness on the part of the Colonel to obey the summons of the court, or any disposition to set at defiance the laws which he, the Colonel, as an otti , eer hail sworn to support, no course would have been left except to commit hint for contempt. But he did not desire to be unreasonable. It was his duty to issue the writ of habeas corpus, and it would be well for officers to understand that, except in the presence of an enemy or when the writ was suspended, it was their duty to obey. Believing that be did not intend any disrespect to the court, and believing that he did not mean to set at defi ance the laws of Pennsylvania, and supposing that ha did not take time to weigh the point at BMW, lint presuming his orders from Washiagtim paramount, he would dis charge him from contempt. The boy was subsequently brought into court, and it appearing that he was under eighteen years of age, he was discharged. CONTEMPT OF COURT.—Three days ago a writ of habeas corpus Was served upon Captain llelster ling, of Colonel McLean's regiment, to produce the body Of Charles Aiken, a Kira° in company C. The buy WOO not produced, and an attaciunent was ismed to bring in Captain Belsterling, to answer for a contempt of court. On Saturday morning the Captain appeared and answered that he received the writ in the evening, too late to respond at court, and when he left the camp he told the boy to stay on tho ground, and ha would take him into court the next morning.. But the follow ing day the Captain was unwell, and did not visit the camp mall afternoon, when he found that the boy taut received a furlough from the hut lieutenant, and ho had not boon soon minro. As the regiment was getting ready to leave for Wash ington, the counsel for the boy asserted that the captain had not used sufficient means to produce hint. There was now every prospect that the lad would leave for Washington. Judge Ludlow held Captain ReWelling in $5OO to appear to-day, when he must either produce tho boy or give some satisfactory explanation of his failure to do so. PRESENTATION TO COL.

I send you two cuts from the papers, which will give you a gene ral idea of our position, which was truly most criti cal. I did not consider the gale a furious one, for the ocean was not lashed as it is in such cases, but the ship came to sea prepared for nothing. There was not one article whatever 'outside of her —anchors, chains, stoves, oil-tanks, furniture, ta bles; chandeliers. looking-glasses, stores, etc. etc.— that was fastened or secured in any way whatever, and having no ballast, and only some two hun dred or three hundred tons of cargo, she rolled, even in a moderate sea, most frightfully. I think if she had bad up all her yards ; she would have gone entirely over. In the early part of the gale, the ship became unmanageable, and lay in the trough of the sea, the rudder-head twisting off almost at the same mo ment. The paddles were stopped, and were soon slashed by the sea, and beat to pieces. In the morning. There was not a bucket nor an iron of them left—a clean sweep was made. The baggage was most recklessly left in one large compartment. without being stored, and it went one side to the other. in a foot of water, which had got in somehow, until every thing was chafed and smashed to bits. It remained a heap of eentliged black rubbish, dresses, silks, clothing, linen, jewel ry. carpets, etc., all in a ground-up condition, to tally unrecognizable. There never was such a wreck internally. It beggars all description. In the ladies' saloons and the dining-rooms, tables broken, glasses, mirrors Ernathed, marble slabs. lamps / skylights from above, cicry thins ' Per bram 49E014 tp side, besides all the crockery and silver, till it resounded each time like the crashing of a pine forest by thunderbolts. Nothing saved us that night but the strength of the hull, which trembled at times moat alarmingly. This was Thursday night. Friday the wind abated somewhat,. but she Tolled the same, The captain tried. in conjunction with the head engi neer, to rig up a steering apparatus, but up to ha turdayfafternoon had failed in all, when, with much reluctance, Mr. Hamilton E. Towle, an American civil engineer, from Exeter, N. 11., was induced by Captain Irving to present a plan of his own to the captain, of which he felt entire oonfidence, as re gards its success. The captain after a while con tented, and Mr. Towle, by Sunday, rigged a most ingenious affair, which, aided by smooth weather and the screw, brought us here. Great jealousy existed on the part of the captain and head engineer, and they tried to rig up another one on deck, to induce the people to believe that Towle had failed, and that the ship was brought in the harbor by the . invention of the captain solely. It was a most mean and paltry affair, and he seemed, by all his apparent rigging, Am., to be steering the ship by his own invention, while the men at the wheel, and any one who looked into it, immediately saw that not fora moment did any one of the captain's plans prove successful, and that the whole credit was due to Mr. Towle. However, all the English sided with the captain, and several hot disputes took place, which, however, ended in a sort of compromise. Captain Schultz was on board, and he will give you all particulars when he ar rives. We have fortunately lost nothing, for our lug• gage was all in our staterooms, anti was not thrown about the ship. Fifty-two eases of fracture occurred, besides several broken legs, arms, a col lar-bone, wrist, S.-4:w. At. times there seemed no hope. We were rolling and drifting into the North Atlantic, out of the track of all vessels, and nothing saved us but calm from heaven and Mt. Towle's ingenuity. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Dr. Clarke's,) last evening. There was a largo attendance, and the proceedings were interesting, especially the speech of Rev. Dr. Baird, chairman of the committee to visit the camps in the vicinity of Washington, and Inquire into the condition mid necessities of our troops, With 0 view to devising measures for their benefit. The exercises were conducted by the pastor, who opened them by reading the six teenth Psalm, beginning, 0, Cod, Thou host ca.t us off, Thou bast scattered us, thou host been displeased; 0 turn Thyself to us again." Prayer was then tittered by the Rev. Mr. Schenk, of this city, whirl , was followed by a hymn, and a brief address by the Iles, Dr. Clarke. he latter related a touching incident, taken from tile , life of a private in the British army, who fell at the battle of New Orleans, in 1815, to illustrate the uses which (3 , 94 has sometimes nimbc of his printed Word among the soldiers. Be was strongly in favor of the objects contemplated by the Army Committee, (which, we ought to state, is laboring under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city,) and be urged the importance of our citizens extending their ut most sympathy to those who have gone forth to battle for our country. Dr. Clarke concluded by introducing to the audience the Rev. Sanmel J. Baird, D. D. Dr. Baird commenced by saying, that if there wad any cause which ought to stir tho heart's of the peoplo to their depths, it was that *high had called them together ; it was the cause of a half million of our fellow-men now absent from their homes and usual comforts, for the good of our COMlllslb country. TheSe men were removed from the accustomed restraints of home, and their course in camp not only in volved their own personal salvation, but the salvation of our Government. 'redid not propose to enter into de. tails of a mere anecdotal character. Upon the arrival of him.4elf and assneiatss in Washington, ther were re ceived with greet kindness, and favored with the cordial approval of the President, Generals Scott and McClellan, and others, in the object of their mission. With reference to the chaplains in the army, he said that while it was trite that some of their number wero utterly unfit for the post, being irreligious and confess edly imbenevers in Christ! there were others who were doing n effieleist and holy work. It could net be denied that the moral tendency of the camp was fearfully down wards. One illustrative instance of the bad example of officers woe given, of a captain who, on dismissing his company, one morning, informed the men that there were to be religious services by their chaplain that day, .which they could attend, if they chose; adding, however, with an oath, that he himself would not attend. Tho speaker advocated the formation of aliiencest or Christian Associationa in the army, to be in charge of flat chaplains and others. This, he said, would afford a nucleus for re. ceiving and dispensing the benefactions of the churches. It had also been urged by chaplains to estabtish camp newspapers, which should contain, in addition to a re; nlo of current news, a liberal portion of moral read ing. This suggestion had already been brought before the Tract Society, though, he was sorry to say, it had, 6.4 yet, act with little encouragement, owing to the want of funds. Dr. Clark next introduced to the audience George a. Stuart, Esq., President of the Association. Re. Stuart felt confident that this movement had tho hearty Fympatty of the community.. He had' been im pressed with tho thought... Whet momentous intorrroto coore around the future history of our country ! This µ•in a time, if ever, for Christians to have faith in WI, sod to realize the truth that " the Don/ God Omnipotent reigneth."

Not a few young meth who had filrMerly boon the street lom.gera upon our dethetg, wore new in the alinn and ha did not doubt that they were placed under more ftettxree• tile circumstances In their present organization, than wlten they were at home.
