Armies are being raised; wad war levied to accomplish it. There can be but two sides to the contr. . Every mart must he on the aide at the United States ar against it. There can be no neutrals in this sway. There can be none but patriots and traitors." THE:LATEST WAR NEWS In the great war in which we are engaged, the occasional reverses our arms encounter, while they incite the nation to renewed exertions, fill the mind of despouding spirits with forebodings, and induce thrill rot .11 1, SiWeeSSIOn of defeat 4. 4.1 t to doubt the eventual success of the Union forces. To all such we commend an actual examination of the real state of the country as the best remedy for their despondency, begging them to remember the trite old saying that all is not lost that is in • danger, and that if the destinies of this country had depended upon the result of a few battles, ou r •Glovernment would neither have been established 'by the soldiers of the Revolution, nor our liberties preserved dining; the second war of independence. nor would the mighty aunties and Sleets that have been raised to defend the Union now be in ex istence. The nation is eotopcssed of thirty-four States_ Di these, in only fifteen has any serious attempt been made to raise the standard of rebellion, and not an inch of the soil of the nineteen free States is pressed by the foot of a hostile soldier. Of the fifteen shire Slides, two. Delaware and Maryland, do not contain an organized company of hostile soldiers. Nearly ail the territory of two others, Missouri and Kentucky, is in possession of our troops, the rebels having virtually abandoned southeastern Missouri, and Price haring retreated to the extreme ireathwestcrn portion of the State. This leaves in the complete or partial possession of the traitors eleven of the States of the Republic, Of these, in Virginia, we now possess the western portion of the State, have a large army on the south bank of the Potomac, near Washington, and another at and near Fortress Monroe. In North Carolina, we have gained a strong foothold at Hat teras Inlet, and a powerful Union feeling is being developed. On the coast of Florida, we retain possession of Fort. Pickens, and on the coast of Lou isiana. we hold Ship Island and effectively bloat- Me the mouth of the Mississippi_ The great expedition which has recently sailed from Fortress Monroe, is powerful enough, if no un expected disaster occurs, not only to command the whole Southern coast, but to strike irresistible blowE in Diorib Conlin, in SQilth Q 1441114, in (tent gin, in Florida, in Alabama, in Louisiana, or in Tex as. It is a fearful menace against at least seven of the rebellious States. It will require an immense concentration of the rebel forces to prevent McClel lan from making an advance upon Richmond. Ar kansas is threatened by Gen. Fremont's column on its northwestern border, and Western Tennessee by Gen. Sherman, while Gen Nelson's column is ad vancing upon the eastern portion of that State. An immense fleet of gunboats and flotilla is being built on the Western waters for an expedition down the itlh-sissippl, which, if successful, will threaten the whole coast of that noble river in the rebel region, embracing the States of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mis sissippi, and Louisiana. It remains for the future to determine how fir these expeditions and plans may prove successful. but we should not forget when temporary disasters occur, that while nineteen States are perfectly loyal, and totally unit:lulled by the enemy, of two others we have undisputed possession, of two others the rebels occupy but a small portion, in four others we have already gained a foothold, and that every 071 e of the remaining rebellion-s States is at this moment seriously threatened with invasion, either by our fleet, by an expedition down the Mis sissippi, or by the divisions of our generals in Mis souri, in Kentucky; in Virginia, or in California, (from which point an expedition against Texas is is contemplation,) The rebels, to sustain themselves even tempo rarily in this contest, are compelled to resort to extreme anti harsh measures which create indescri bable distress and misery among the whole popula tion of the South, and the inconveniences we have auffered from th war are comparatively trilling when compared with their daily fears, annoyances, and privations. Not only are the stories about the treachery of the secretary of the flag-officer of the great naval expedition untrue, but it is believed that the rumor in relation to the indiscretion, or treason, of the captain of one of the transports is also unfounded, so that it is probable no important disclosures have been made that can interfere with the success of our great Armada. The Fort Lafayette prisoners were yesterday re moved to Fort Morgan, in Boston harbor_ The ob ject of the removal is presumed to be mainly for the greater security of the prisoners. It is sup posed, alto, that the prisoners can be made more comfort able for the winter in their new quarters, and it is certain that the commanding. officer will not be- eubjected to the frequent and annoying applications for admission to see the prisoners on the part of female and other friends, to which Colonel Burke has .been subjected. Fort Allergen is not nearly so accessible from _Boston as Fort Lafayette is Erma New York, and the change is, in all respects, a good one. A few of the prison ers were discharged before this transfer was made. The only State prisoners from this city are Wm. Gilchrist. Wm. tl. Winder, Francis Wyatt, and Dr. Jeffrey, of the steamer lify•stic. The rebel ministers have really escaped, not in the Nashrille, but in the Theodora, which sailed on the 12th instant from Charleston. The vessel touched at Cardenas, where Messrs. Mason and Slidell landed. and proceeded by railroad to Hava na, The Brilich consul at that port immediately made a ceremonious gall on them in full uniform. He then introduced them to the Captain General of Cuba, who received them as private gentlemen. After leaving Messrs. Mason and Slidell at Carde nas, the Throdorr; went around to Havana. There ehe tools in a full cargo of arms, ammunition, col; fee, and other provisions, and sailed for Charleston, expecting to run the blockade. Adjutant General Thomas has made a report of his observations during the recent visit of the Secretary of War .aott himself to Missouri, which shows that General Fremont is utterly unfit for his present position. Mr. Russell had written to the London Times that one of the principal objects of our great naval expedition, is to obtain possession of one of the cot ton ports, so that a large supply of that article may be obtained. This conjecture may or may not be well founded, bat it is not improbable that if we capture a city like Savannah, Charleston, Mo bile, or New Orleans, some of the Southern planters will endeavor to find in it a market for their pro ducts. • A ewe for Lord Lyons. The latest news from C l ubs is to the effect that Messrs. MASON and SLIDELL, the rebel Commissioners for England and France, had reached Havana, c , where they were received with the highest consideration by all the offi cials, from the Captain General down." Moreover, that cg the British Consul called on the rebel Commissioners, in full uniform, and presented them to the Captain General." The British Consul. General at Havana is Mr. J. T. PRAWFORD, Companion of the Bath. We leave Lord LYONS to ascertain by what authority he acted as Master of the Ceremo nies to a couple of fugitive rebels—why, in deed, he. a British official, should have taken Mr. JEFF DAVIS'S" employees under his wing. This is on a par with Mr. KEATE, British Go vernor of Trinidad, having twice allowed the rebel privateer Sumpter to coal at Port-of- Spain, the seat of his administration. Of course, Lord LYONS can explain? If not, —; well, a day of reckoning must come. WHAT a healthy and eloquent contrast there is between the loyal men of Kentucky, Tennes see, /C4rtillina, and 'Western Virginia, and the peace men of the free States! The latter occupy their time in constant attacks upon the Administration of Mr. Lnicomi, in misrepresentations of the objects of the war, and in bitter . abuse of all who sustain Tering their real intentions with a thin varnish of hypocritical devotion to the country. The loyal Southern men sink every other object before an absorbing and ever-present love of the Union. They forget that kr. LrriCOLN is a Republican, applaud every effort he is mak ing for their protection, and welcome the sol diers of the Republic into their midst, no mat ter from what quarter, with every manife.sti 'Hon of gratitude. THE Daily Patriot is the title of a new paper started at Trenton, N. J., by CHARLES W. JAY, Esq., the first number of which we have received. It begins with an eloquent -declaration ht favor of the war, and lisids under the motto of if sustaining the Govern ment, in its present peril, by whomsoever ad ministered." Mr. JAY is a masterly writer, and we are glad to see him enlisted nailer di: Bag of the Union. LARGE SALE OF DRY GOODS, HOSIERY READY 'MADE CLOTHING, &C.—The attention of purchasers is requested to the large and varied assortment of British, French, German, India, and domestic dry goods, hosiery, ready-made clothing, &o„ em bracing about DO lots of girlie and fancy &Wales, in woollens, worsted, linen, cotton, and silk; to be peremptorily sold by catalogue, for cash, com mencing this morning, at ten o'clock—the sale to be continued without intermission all day and part of the evening, ending with the clothing— by Myers. Claghorn, & Co., auctioneers, Nos. 232 and 234 Market street. ITILE ANNOUN C EMENT in the New Orleans Della—a paper owned by Joni SLIDELL, a man of Northern birth—that fitteen millions of personal and real estate, owned in that city respectively by Wm. B. ASTOR and GEORGE °MITRE, both citizens of New York, and the accompanying threat that this example is to be followed up by the confiscation of every thing in which any Northern man has anv ! in terest, ought to induce speedy action on. the j part of the General Government. In order to exhibit the difference :beitveen. the treatment of Union men in the slave States to the one . mica of the Union_ in the loyal States, we re print the following suggestive extract front a letter dated Parkersburg, Va., recently pub 111,10d in the; Cincinnati Gazelle; "Union men complain bitterly of the disadvan tage under which they-labor. The difference lies mainly in the enactutent respectively of the Union Uk,i.gi um slid the Cuetedef..te Cettg,r,Ki. Tae hit- ter outlaws all_Unien men and confiscates every article of property they posseas—lands, houses, stock, slaves, &c., without exception and without mercy. The former, on the contrary, confiscates nothing but what has been actually used for the purposes of rebellion, and by the terms of its provisions throws the burden of proof on the Union itself, to furnish all the evidence that the property has been ad used by the rebellious master. This amountato just nothing at all, for how are Union men to get within the lines of a Secessionist encampment to re port on the work that may be done there by some Secessionist property. " The consequence of this is, that there is a largo body whose or/torten for the Union is undoubted, but who are realty bribed by our laws to act the traitor against us. They reason thus : - If we should lend our support to the Union men, and the Con federacy should succeed in the end, we shall lose everything, and perhaps forfeit our Thies. But if, in yielding to the pressure, we should uphold the Confederate 0 overnment, and the Union men should triumph over them, we shall at most lose but such things as our enemies can prove we have used against them. " Wkat Union men need is the enactment of laws or the promulgation of decrees as shall give them a fair chance with their bitter Secession opponents. If treason OHM be punished by the confiscation of everything, we shall soon see a very difliirent state of things west of the Alleghenies. The undecided will at once take their ground, and, by fer,.the vast majority of them will array themselves on the side of the Union." Now, the question of confiscating slave property is utterly insignificant in comparison with the graver issue involved in the question of confiscating the entire property in the loyal States, and in such portions of the disloyal States" as may fall under our control, of all men proved to be in sympathy with the common enemy and the Secessionists. No neutrality is permitted in the, seceded States. Not only is a man driven out who refuses to enlist or to pay for and praise Seces sion, but all such men, and every citizen of thc North who has an interest in any property in the South, and who can be reached by the Confederates, are at once punished by confis cation. Are we not, therefore, in effect, pay ing the expenses of our own war upon the rebels, and also, by refusing to retaliate as we should, assisting them to pay their expenses? Is it not a little harsh to see JEFF. DAVIS, and the robbers around him, ruining ANDREW Join:sox, of Tennessee, because of his devo tion to the Union, and plundering loyal men in the free States, and, at the same time, to witness the humane and gentle policy of the Federal Government in reference to known and avowed sympathizers with the enemies of the Constitution and the war? LETTER. FROM " OCCASIONAL." WASHINGTON, Oct. 30, 1861 Let us do justice to the heroic loyalists of the Border States. They have proved the sincerity of their professions in favor of the Union by gallantly taking up arms in its de fence. It was in their behalf that the conser vative men of the free States pleaded for peace before the fall of Sumpter, and now they are showing their gratitude for the manner in which they were then sustained. The conspi rators-have selected Missouri, Kentucky, and Virginia as their battle-fields. In eanh they have found a - large and powerful party op posed to them. This fact shows that wherever the armies of the Union are enabled to make a stand in a slate State, they are immediately sur rounded' by warm sumorters from among the ranks of Me citiqens of such Stales. A gentle man just returned from Louisville describes the electrical enthuSiasm with which the Penn sylvania regiments, who reached there some days ago, were received by the populace. They were greeted, not as invaders, but as deliverers—welcomed as if they were brothers —entertained with prinCely hosPitality—ad dressed - by eloquent orators—prayed for by inspired divines—and smiled upon by beauti ful women. This contribution from the great Old Keystone, whose national and conserva tive character has always made her popular among the true men of the South, was not construed as a declaration of war upon the in terests and institutions of Kentucky. The men composing General Negley's splendid brigade came to heal the wounds of the State of Boone, and Clay, and Hardin, and Crittenden. They came not as Abolition ists, but as Americans, in response to the cry of those who were suffering from the blows of ingrate sons. They came not as the. armies of Attila and Napoleon, to subsist upon the fair bosom of Kentucky, and to return with the 'spells of victory. The chief of the fine army now in Kentucky, General Sherman, is a Northern man, one who has gathered ex perience by a long residence in Louisiana ; and he is impressing the wholesome lesson upon the hearts of the surrounding population that he is there to save and not to spoliate their soil.' He will accomplish this work. Then the gate way into Eastern Tennessee will be opened :- then the hunted and persecuted followers of Andrew Johnson will be rescued from their oppressors. After all, the salvation of Kentucky, greatly as it is to be desired, would not be complete if the patriotic people of Eastern Tennessee were left- to their fate. As I observe the movements of our troops hi Missouri, Western Virginia., and Kentucky, and read over the great edito rials in the Lonisville Journal and Democrat, the St. Louis Republican. and Democrat, and the Wheeling Intelligencer and Press, it is im possible to restrain the theoglit that such a scene should send new thousands of volun leers from the free States into the army of the Republic. Our soldiers do not go there to fight single-handed and alone. They meet, as 1 have said, friendi and brothers like them, .selves in arms; men who, while asking your and imploring Mr. Lincoln to give them encouragement and' support, at the same time offer their livei and their fortunes as rantec equally of _their courage, sincerity, and patriotism'. In other wo rds, they stand boldly forth to share the dangers of the field with their fellow-eitizens from other quarters. All honor to the Border States! They have vindicated themselves against the suspicions of doubters. When the different Union dele gations from Kentucky, Missouri, and Virgi nia, appear in the nest Congress of the United States, they can look their Northern and Western colleagues proudly in the face, and say that they have made good all their pledges. They Can tell how they resisted the blandish meats of the conspirators, who sought to se duce them from their fealty to the flag; how they defied and trampled under foot the offers of Davis and Keitt • and how entirely they appreciate their whole duty to the gene rous Government of the United States. These Southern loyalists are among our bravest and best. Intensely attached to Southern insti tutions, reared to Southern habittl and cus toms, they are Angularly prliud and sensitive men. When, in the early stages of this rebel lion, the insolent threat was uttered by such frantic demagogues as Lamar and Wigfall, that the Cotton States would be compara tively secure, and that the battle would have to be fought in the Border States, (one of them sneeringly alleging that Virgi nia, Kentucky, and Missouri would become I lie 4, Belgium of America"), these rebel ruffians little thought how this insult would rankle in the hearts of such men as John J. Crittenden, John C. Mason; James Guthrie, and their hosts of compatriots in Kentucky and the border region. The gage ol.Wttle has been thrown and accepted and now in the conflict between the patriots and the traitors in the Border States, the former will find themselves standing shoulder to bl.oulder with the gallant sons of Pennsyl- Tani% Ohio, and Indiana. It would - be a pro vidential comment upon the taunts of the authors of this rebellion if, while Kentucky, Missouri, and Virginia are being newly ce mented to the Union, our fleet should pour triumphant armies into South Carolina, Geargia, and wherever , else the chiefs of treason aro concealed.

Diplomatic Wedding; The rumors in fashionable circles for some months, of a marriage between one of the high °Mash of her Britannic Majesty's Government in .the United States and the daughter of a distin guished and much-esteemed citizen of Phlladel pia, have been confirmed. Charles Edward Keith Kortright. her Britannic Majesty's consul for the State of Pennsylvania. was yesterday morning at half past twelve united to tke only daughter of John Richardson, Esq., of this city. The ceremony took place at the residence of the father of the bride, 1722 Walnut street, and the ceremony war performed by the Rev. Mr. Jenkins, of Calvary Church, according to the English Protestant service. The bride wore a moire, co vered with lace flounces, a veil to correspond, and a wreath of orange blossoms. There were no brides maids. Among the wedding guests were Lord Ly on=. the British Plenipotentiary at Washington; his secretary of legation, Mr. Irving; and Messrs. Wnrre rrd Muz,Forl. otrid , is • Mr. Lisho , i. the Brazilian minister at Washington; Colonel Rtuts loff, Danish Minister at Washington ; Signor Moli na, the minister from Costa Rion at Washington ; and the French and Spanish consuls residing in this city. Many of the aristocracy of Philadelphia were present. It is estimated that at least two hundred persons tendered their congratulations to the happy pair, The reception continued from one to three in the afternoon. The company partook of a sumptuous collation. The arrangements and appointments were elegant in the extreme. Mr. and Mrs. koetright started for the North in last evening's six o'clock train. Public Amusements. HERMANN AT THE ACADEMY.—The first ap pearance of Hermann exampled the power of judicious advertising, in a full and fashionable house. It likewise exampled the intrinsic merit of his performance, and its capacity to amuse and to excite. The Prestidizitatene himself was notthe least interesting feature of the exhibition. Tall, dignified, and swarthy, one instinctively read in his cold, keen eye, a rare adaptability for hie art, end marvellous mane whereby to exhibit It. It was not hard to imagine him in the cabalistic robes of a magician, dispensing from some secret cell the mysteries of the oracles and the stars. An air of superiority—plainer in silence than in act—marked him throughout, and in his manner there was little of the showman, but mush of the artiste. To practise tricks of curds for thirty years; to follow the strolling fakirs in Calcutta, and the street jugglers in Pekin ; to make duplicity an art, until sense is deceived, and even incredu lity stares aghast ; these are feats of Hermann that demonstrate enthesloun foe a inert erratic calling, and make his entertainments weird and winsome. To enumerate the parts of his pro gramme is nut our business ; but the table tricks, the coin and ring manoeuvres, the second-sight en tertainment, and that of Tentriloquism, were each evidences of his skill. Ile will appear to-night in a programme somewhat different, assisted by a full Germania Orchestra. CONTINENTAL THEATRE.—The now play of the ;; Siren of Paris" continues to draw excellent houses, and the reduced scale of prices works admirably. The good scenery and the admirable acting of Wheatley and Miss Jennie Parker contribute chiefly to this result, while the incidents of the drama are of that stirring, ghostly character that make them popular, even though artificial and morbid. The piece is continued to-night. ARCH-STREET THEITRE.—" The House on the Bridge of Notre Dame," after weeks of prepara tion, will be produced to-night by Mrs. Drew. The ens.t of the play embraces the lessee, Messrs. ail• bert, Shewell, and Mortimer, and Misses Wells and Emma Taylor. The published synopsis exhibits much of pi - klieg Incident, and the properties, music, etc.. are said to be of the best order. WAUGH'S ITALIA draws good houses, at the As sembly Buildings, nightly. Eating Up their ~God.s. [From the New Turk Evening root.] In his curious book on Eastern Central Africa Captain Burton relates that a certain Arab mer chant, travelling with his caravan, captivated the wayward fancy of a cannibal tribe through whose dominions he was passing. Ile was an immensely fat man ; and, unfortunately for him, in the cant• bal system of theology obesity stands as the most unfailing mark of divinity. These savages had eaten their last god. who grew lean on short ra tions; they were not minded to become athe ists, and they hailed with a natural de light the sight of a brand new divinity. They installed Sheik Abraham as their god and king: hunted for him; robbed caravans to get him' a shirt for his back ; sang hymns to his rotundity day and night. At last there came a season of drought. The sky was brass and the prase was withered. The pious and hungry cannibals na turally bethought them of their divinity. They besought rain. He replied that he would gladly make it rain. but he could not. They grew angry; be implored their pity. They insisted ; he refused they said you must ; he said I can't. Then said they, with irresistible logic, if you cannot make it rain., you are not a god, bat a humbug—and they ate bum up. Tice ridiculous fate of poor fat Abraham seems likely to befall a divinity which has long been worshipped nearer home. His Majesty King Cot ten is getting into trouble. His blind worshippers, who have long sung preans to the rotund bale, are losing- faith. They depended on their idol Cotton to make them rich and powerful. to open their ports, to conquer their enemies ; to subdue the whole world to their desires and, alas :their god is impotent. Instead of being rich, they are, on their own confession, poor. An article from the Richmond Whig demonstrates the financial ruia of the Confederates. Instead of starving their ene- Thiel, they are themselves on short rations. Their sky is brass, their earth is parched, their stomachs are empty, and their god, Cotton, is impotent. Yet a little while, and the Southern cotton wor shippers will say to their idol, as the cannibals said to theirs—if you cannot make it rain, you are not a god, but a humbug. ATROCIOUS MURDER. A GERMAN JEW STABBED IN TWENTY PLACES- SEVEN WOUNDS IX THE HEART—HIS BODY STRIPPED OF $50,000 IN MONEY AND DIAMONDS, AND THROWN IN THE WATER. [From the New Torii Exprest of last eveaing A few days ago, it was reported in the Express that, on the 22d inst., a citizen of Middletown, N. J., discovered the body of-an unknown man floating in the water.' Upon examination, he dis covered that a most. bridal murder- bad been per petrated, the body being stabbed in some twenty places, and he immediately alarmed theproper offp cer. Deceased was well, in fact, fashionably dressed, and there were found upon his person $llO in gold, besides some change. This went to show quite conclusively, at the time, that the murder had not been committed (Or gain, and the officials of Middletown c.o.a GRd a traced no one who had done it with any other purpose in view. An inquest was held, the jury returned a verdict that deceased had come to his death by some means un known to them, and the coroner advertised the case in search of further information. In the meantime 2 a gentleman residing in this city, who does business down town, received a letter from the city of Mainz, grand duohy of Hesse Darmstadt ; Germany, stating that Sigiemund Feliner, one of a wealthy Jewish family residing in that place, had gone to Ameriea in the steamship B,nwric, and requesting him to write back should anything have happened him. The person to whom the letter was addressed immediately made inquiries, and wgrtiiincil thfit Foliar had tato up his quarters at the Prescott House, on Broad way. Ile there learned that a day before, on the 15th inst., the object of his search had departed in company of ft stranger. He carried a trunk with bim, avowing it as his intention to seek other lodgings. The next thing that struck the eye of the gentle• man engaged in searching for the stranger, was the notice in the Expwss of a."lllgaterious , Murder." A sort of instinctive fear _Struck hish that the via: tim might be Feltner. Beyond the mere thought, he_hid no reason to believe so, but on making an examination, his fears were :realized. The body, till then unreebtnized, was that of the stranger, Watch and chain, diamonds to the value of $4.0,000, and $lO,OOO in Money, besides other valuables, had all disappeared, the small sum found in deceased's pocket being left behind, doubtless, to deceive peo ple, by making them believe that robbery was not the object of this foul murder. The breaat of Felines was a mass of wounds. Twenty gashes from a dirk, seven of which entered the heart, had been found necessary to complete the bloody work. Upon identification of the body, it was buried, and word has been, or will be sent to Fellner's wife and family, in Germany of the sad affair. The police are sorely puzzled about the matter. That the runnier was plotted in New York is be yond a doubt, but it will tax the ingenuity of our most ingenious detectives to discover who commit ted it. A stranger, rather poorly dressed, was seen to leave with Feliner when he settled his bill, at the Prescott House. Be was seen, but observed only to create a suspicion in the clerk's mind that he wall an unreliable charades. Did this man go with Fenner to New Jersey? It is likely he did, as the German was a child in experience here, and besides totally ignorant of the language. A shrewd fellow of his own land might have discovered his wealth. and advised him to seek, es - he said he was seeking, a new boarding• place, gradually drawing him into New Jersey, and at night murdering and robbing him, after wards throwing the body in the water. It is said, however, that ho was seen, a day or two afterwards, on a Catharine-street ferry-boat, in company with a Polish Jewess, who was very richly dremed, and sparkling with diamonds. This woman might have drawn from him the secret of his wealth, and hired an assassin to perpetrate the crime. In fact, the stranger who was seen with him might have been the agent of this woman. How to get nt the man anti the woman is a mat ter for the eftieers. That they will try to ferret out the villains engaged in this horrible transaction there is no doubt. Their success, under existing circumstances, is. to say the least, highly proble- Mafiosi A reward of five hundred dollars Is of fered by Fellner's friends for any information that will lead to the discovery of the assassin. Fatal Accident on the Northern Central Mahood. BALTIMORE, Oct. 30.—An accident occurred last night on the Northern Central Railroad, - near York. The train ran over a cow. smashing the ears and killing two passehger.±. Ono of the killed was Mr, Valentine, of Baltimore, and the other an unknown man about thirty-dye years of age; " E. Y." on his watch ; had in his possession a Perham's excursion ticket from New York to Baltimore and back ; fair complexion, blue , eyes, light hair, moustache and goatee same color:;.. an chor in India ink on left aria ; was dressed 'in oks siniere coat and satin vest. Movements of Governor Curtin liitunisucnc, October 30.—Governor Curtin and staff left this afternoon tiir Doylestown via Phila. delplda, to present the 104th Roginient, Colonel Dl` % with a State flag. The party will remain in Philadelphia OVer night, and proceed to Doyles town to-nun:ow morning. ' TBE FR M.-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1861. LATEST XEWS` THE RUMORS ABOUT GENERALS SOLDIERS.TO BE SHOT FOR SLEEPING ON THEIR POSTS, Affairs on the Lower Potomac. THE NAVAL EXPEDITION. ITS DESTINATION NOT KNOWN OUTSIDE DEFEAT OF TEXAN REBELS NEAR It is certain that no one outside of the naval ex pedition knows where the first blow will be struck. It if probable, however, that the earlieet news con- cerning its operations will come through Southern channels. A gentleman who came down from the Upper Potomac this morning represents everyolll,6 Tato along our lines. The wounded at Ball's Bluff are rapidly recovering. The rebels, from reconnois sauces made yesterday, were still in force in the vicinity of Leesburg. Dissatisfaction in New York Regiments. GOY. Montan has given much dissatisfaction to several of the New York regiments by appointing civilians over experienced soldiers. Petitions have been put in circulation, by the field officers of some of the regiments, requesting that vacancies in the grades of lieutenants and ensigns may be filled by the promotion of non-commissioned officers upon the recommendation of the field officers. This move meets a hearty response in the Pennsylvania regiments. The Review-of the Pennsylvaniaßeserves. The review of General llfeatrtla division of Pennsylvania Reserves was not postponed, as has been stated. It came off yesterday afternoon, near LANGLEY'S. It was a gala day for the Reserves, and they never presented a finer appearance. They were reviewed by Generals MCCALL, MEADE, REYNOLDS, and .a brilliant staff_ Colonel Burn- DELL'S Artillery, Colonel Maims's Rifles, and - Colonel HANEY'S Seventh, and Colonel Simmons' Fifth elicited the encomiums of many an old sol dier present. In fact, all drilled so well that com parisons should not be made. A large number of the wives and children of the officers and soldiers, who enure from their homes in Pennsylvania on purpose to be present at the review, added much to the effect of the brilliant scene. There were to be seen between thirteen and fourteen thousand of Pennsylvania's stalwart sons marching as steadily as regulars. Many of those in the ranks are men of education and refinement, who hove left their comfortable and happy homes in the Old Keystone State to battle for their country's boner, Sick, Wounded, and Dead. There are now about one thousand sick and wounded soldiers in the hospitals in and around the city. There were nine ambulances at one time around the doors of the hospital at the Patent Office this !morning. They brought in several siok and wounded from the hospital at Poolesville. There are about 175 Pennsylvanians in the hospitals here. The following Pennsylvanians have died in the hospitals since my last: R. IL BRONNE, Twen ty-seventh Regiment ; J. SCOTT, Company E, Ninth Regiment (Reserve); A. R. M. GIEST, Thirty-third Regiment (Reserve) ; C. VOGT, Company B, Thir tyfifth Regiment. The Body of Colonel Baker. The body of Col. BAKER has been successfully embalmed, and has been placed in a handsomely silver-monnted coffin, in imitation of rosewood The body presents a very natural appearance. It was sent to New York to-day en route to California. Government Contracts not ,Recognized. Government officials bare but one rule in dealing with contractors.

Col, Thomas A. Seat. The Assistant Secretary of War is constantly at his post, and makes many friends by bis prompt and courteous deportment, and his readiness to re. calve and listen to every appeal. Scarcity of Coal in Washington. Owing to the enormous amount of business thrown upon the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, be tween this point and Baltimore, Messrs. PRESBURY CHADW le K of Willard's /total, are transporting their coal by wagons from Baltimore. Why do not some enterprising men lay a second track along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to Washing ton, eo as to meet the wants of this great commu nity? It is estimated that this work could be ac. complished in less than a month. This gallant officer, a native and citizen of Lan caster county, Pennsylvania, has already been re ceived into the confidence of Major General SI/M -x-AN, in Kentucky, and will no doubt prove himself .worthy of the expectations of his numerous friends. The blockade will not only eompel a double track on the railroad between here and Baltimore, but undoubtedly lead to the construction of another rail• road connecting , this capital with Annapolis, and thus establish a line of transportation so as to con neat directly with the latter port. The Ingratitude of the Rebel Chiefs. It is significant that the most remorseless enemies of the Government are those who have received the largest numbers of favors at its hands. 13nm:i nt:GARD was the spoiled child of the Administrations Of PIERCE and BIICIIANA7g. Ex-Quartermaster Ge neral Jonxsort left' his post shedding bitter tears over his own desertion. BEN MeCum.ocn has been the pampered favorite of Domaaratie pewee for twenty years. Ginacat 3. PILLOW, the friend of President POLE, has been the constant recipient of patronage. General LEE managed to press into office, military and civil, a battalion of relatives. Colonel MEGISEDEE I of the rebel army, was nearly all the time in pleasant posts at home, or on leave of absence in receipt of his salary;in Europe. Yet all these men seem to desire to illustrate their in gratitude by'the utmost cruelty against the Go vernment that hiis fed and fostered them. Genertst Scutt. Many absurd stories are circulited in reference to the interference of Lieutenant General SCOTT with Major General hicCLELLAx. General Scorr continues in his old position, and, so far as his en feebled - healthinables him to do, maintains a an pervision over the operations of all our corps d'armie. Whatever may have been his own opin. ions in regard to the management of the campaign, the fact cannot be contradicted that General Mc- CLELLes has been left the uncontrolled mastery of his own military district. Exchasige of Prisoners. Gradually the necessities of the case will cam. pel the Government to consent to the exchange of prisoners. I have every reason to believe that many of the absent eons of the free States, cap tured in honorable• battle, will be released at an early day. - . 'From the tower Potorithe. The Poßey arrived at the navy yard to-day, bringing despatehes from Captain CRAVEN. The rebel steamer George Page has gone as far up the mouth of Quantico creek as she can, but Is not yet half a mile from the river. Sl2e is appa rently aground. If so, it will require a high tide to float her. The rebel batteries were, opened upon the Mary land shore yesterday, and firing continued to a late hour laat night; but without damage to anybody on our side. It is believed that no vessels have, within the last twenty-four hours, run the rebel blockade. The opinion prevails pretty generally here that no general engagement wilt take place between the armies of the Potomac during the autumn or win• ter menthe. BEAUREGARD has witarawn his forces to Minims and along the line of the rail way from Acquia Creek to Richmond. The short supply of forage renders it unsafe to advance a large army into the interior of the State end while the cities and seaports are being menaced by our fleets, many of our officers think that wisdom points to suspension of hostilities here. Others urge a forward movemeutomder the impression that our arrni ought to hare an opportunity to 4c re- Wein the chocks they haTo met ) " and ee for which they . are not accountable," as Gen. MCCLELLAN says. Of one thing we are assured, that heavy contracts are being made for the erection of win ter quarters for 60,000 to 100,000 men in the viol ally of Washington. By order of Brigadier General SICKLES a family, consisting of husband, wife, and daughter, were arrested near Port Tobacco and brought to Wash ington.

A Voice from the Fire-Room of the Pawnee. The following letter from a Philadelphian, who is engaged in the fire-room of the - United States steamship Pawnee, was received in this city this morning : U. S. STEAMSHIP PA.WHEE, FORTRESS lkfuNlWli, October 28, 1861. I write you at a moment when we are making ready to start on a cruise southward A number of vessels have already sailed from this point, which has been the rendezvous. Several flags of truce from Notfolk have come within full view of the fleet. The iron-clad rebel steamer Merrimac has shown herself several times during the past three days. She steams down the river from Nor folk, but lays to in the vicinity of Craney The appearance of the roadstead at the present time is really magnificent. There is an immense number of craft, of every description, riding at anchor. I will not pretend to give you any secret information, but I will freely give you the feelings of one who takes a deep interest in the welfare of our common country. Some of our men feel nmeh disappointed because the .'nn•ner was withdrawn from the Potomac before we had an opportunity to get satisfaction out of the rebel batteries that fired into us. Captain Rowan, who then commanded the Pawnee, was the terror of the rebels, every time be passed up and down the river. But Ido not pretend to /snow mere than Secretary Welles, The mails for the sailors are most abominably arranged. It is now a month since the Pauorec has received'a mail; and when the last one was received it was six weeks old. We are always extremely anxious to hear from home, and as we are fighting in defence of our country, we see no good reason why so little attention in this matter should be paid to tiS. Beaides, we think that all the letters of the sailors during the war should be sent free of postage. Will not some of the news papers friendly to the poor sailors take hold of this subject and call the attention of the Department to it? We know not at what moment we shall sail, probably before we eat our suppers to-night." The Wagon Road from Baltimore. The wagon road from Baltimore is now in suc cessful operation. and nearly two hundred tons of freight have been already received by this mode of conveyance. We are sadly in want of furniture ears and drays here to carry the goods from the different depots. In fact, there is not a single dray in Washington, and the Government is compelled to employ every available wagon. The supply of coal is fast running out, and com mands s9aslo per ton, while wood is about the Nane price per cord. The supply will continue short until the obstructions in the Potomac are re moved. There is an unusual quantity of goods in tran situ, which has been detained at Baltimore for want of means of transportation. The Government supplies conic forward freely, and there is now nn abundance of everything appertaining to the army on hand. The Gov ernment and the Reporters The reporters are again in trouble. The Govern ment has taken exception to some of the strieturts published in the Philadelphia, New York, %loin• Tagi l mad Chicago papers. The truth is, some of the reporters, in their anxiety to publish early in telligence, very often embarms the movements of the Government. It is a well-established fact that the rebels, by some means ; obtain the northern pa pers almost as soon us we do here. How they get them is a question more easily asked than an swered. There is no doubt but that the rebels have in our midst a regularly organized band of spies. The Star and Republican here often pub lish matters which certainly - ought to he "contra band of war," but no Wide is seemingly taken of them. - Correspondents, however, cannot be too nice in their discrimination and judgment of what should and what should not be published.

Henderson, of the State militia, had made a compromise with the rebels, at Dyer's Mills, near Concord, by which he ,required the United States troops not to make any arrests if the rebels Would lay down their_arms and return to their homes. General Prentiss acquiesced in the compromise, but, on the first violation of it, will visit severe vengeance on the offenders.

All oc cupations not absolutely necessary were suspended, religions services were generally held in the camps, and the troops, fatigued and worn out by the rapid marches and exposure of the past week, enjoyed a day of calm repose. The present position of the army is, perhaps, the best that could be selected in this section of the State for a resting place.

The subject had been mooted before, but was postponed. ruSsildy information brought over by the Prince bisperlocar way have contri buted to make the Emperor more inclined to listen to pro. ramie which might be made by England in this respect. The London Mae gives prominence to the following paragraph: We learn, from an authentic source, that a notifica tion has been issued affecting the trade with the Southern States. It would appear, from the letter of instructions Mr. Woo.lnger, from Richmond, on the gtid Of August, that the Confederate Government authorises -vessels corning from foreign countries to enter any port on the Southern coast, declaring that such port shall be considered a proper port of entry for such vessel, if the master or owner shall, without delay, despatch a nommen ger to the nearest collection district, in order that the re• ~,,s n e e m cee may l.e sent by the collector to take charge of the cargo and execute the formalities required in con nection with the entry of the goods. At a conservative demonstration in Essex, Captain Jarvis, a member of Parliament, expatiated on the war in America and its effect on England. He argued in favor of the right of secession, and urged that the people of England should give such II strung expression le their sentiments as would induce the GovernMent to act In ac cordance therewith. The London Times, in an editorial on the day of hu miliation in America, says that amid all the turmoil of war a change in the morals of communities can be descried, and that there is a faint glimmering of a new dawn, and says that intelligent Americans are inclined to believe that a return of peace, though it will show a mutilation anti give no aecurity against more accession in fulure t will be the era of a better and more orderly government in the Northern States generally. Dr. Russell's last letter to the Times is dated Wash ington, Oct. 4. In it he alludes to the great expedition to sail at the end of October, and says the Government is determined to open a cotton port, and it does not believe in the oaths of the Southerners that they will never give a bale of cotton to the Yankem but thinks that the temptation of the high prices prevailing will attract large supplies of cotton to the port for exportation. Thus a Government monopoly may be created in cotton, and the strong protectionists wilt scarcely fail to put on the screws with foreign customers. The writer thinks that for the present the large pOrts of the South are tolerably afire. The owner of tow ship Boyne, has brought forward grievances against the Federal Government, for the pro hibition of that vessel from entering Savannah, before the blockade was established, and claims compensation for losses.

Only tbe psintlng anti -furnishing is lions here, the making up being performed elsewhere. The second - floor was used for drying porpmes. lie had about 20,000 haversacks on hand, about one-half of which were in the drying-room at the time of the fire. The greater part of the knapsacks and haversacks, as well as the material, was saved—only about from five to ten thousand of them being destroyed. Ile is insured to the amount of $3,000 in the Beret Insurance Company, Tile third story of this building was occupied by Barr d liebrum, also manulacturers of the same articles. Their loss is very heavy, and is not covered by insurance. The tire originated over the boiler, and under the room occupied by .14seph M. Davis. It is supposed that the mixture need to paint the knapsacks dropped front them while banging to dry, and fell through the slat floor on to the boiler. The Names almost immediately shot into tho main buildirm, and soon the whole of the in lle were en veloped, The names, as they burst through the windows, upwards of 200, presented a most beautiful Right. The fire gained such rapid headway that the employees, who were all engaged at the time, bed barely time to escape, and several received slight injuries in the attempt. This disapter will interfere with five Government contracts— two for the manufacture of knapsacks and haversacks, two for dumb and one for ebirte. While the fire was raging portions of the wall began to fall. A large police force, under Lieut. Fuller, of the First district, and officers from other districts ' were pre sent and kept the crowd back, and protected the goods, &c., that were placed in the neighboring lots. A member of the Delaware engine, named Drown, was badly burned. - A man, named 5. P. story, was struck in tile head with a brick. Hobert Bradford, aged about seventy years, residing hi the neighborhood, received a compound fracture of the leg, by being run over with a hose carriage. He was conveyed to the hospital. Owing to most of the fire plugs being at some distance from the conflagration, Chief Engineer Lyle, shortly after the fire broke out, ordered a general alarm - to be rung in order to secure more hose. The factory of Campbell & Elliott, on the west side of Twelfth street, was. slightly damaged by the flames. A row of small buildings in Camilla street made a narrow escape, and were only saved through the untiring exertions of the firemen. The total loss will exceed $lOO,OOO, and the fire will throw out of employment about two hundred men' women, and children, ARRIVAL OF THE SCHOONER StIffIaiEIIANNA— SHE DUNS TIM POTOMAC BLOCKADE.—The schooner Susquehanna, Daniel Myers (colored), Captain, and owned by him conjointly 'with Messrs. Win. Applegate & Bon, of Baltimore, reached this port on Tuesday, having succeeded in running the rebel blockade of the Potomac. Capt. Myers is very 'well known among the merchants of this city; and especially among the flour shippers. lie is about sixty-nine years of age, and has been a ship 'nester, trading to and from lialtituore, for the last fifty live years. On Wednesday morning, the 15th inst., he left Alexan dria, with a cargo of eighty-nine barrels of Mexican gunne r eansignefto Dieppe Si Gray, of Italtituare. Oa the same night he anchored within the Government blockade, at Indian's Head. (This blockade was esta blished to prevent the smuggling of goods to the Virginia shore of the river.) On the following morning at daylight he was permitted to pose the blockade, but was warned or the risk he was incurring. Ile successfully paned the batteries at Sep tic° creek, Shipping Point, and Dumfries. ghortly be fore eight o'clock, while pluming Quantico creek, four rebel batteries suddenly opened upon him. Two balls from rifled cannon passed within half the vessel's length of them, windward and leeward, and buried themselves in the "Maryland shore. The first ball fired fell consi derably short of them. One shot passed immediately athwart of Ails Abraquehaff44.l,3 how, Aleiti two ethers passed between bermalamast and foremast. Fortunately - , however, she escaped without being struck by a single shot, which was more the result of good luck than fast sailing. She was making between eight and ten knots an hour when fired on. Capt. Myers states that lie was more scared after he bad passed the batteries than while the shot was splaabing and richochetting around him. Not a envik or foilillefaloirt of ih and waft *lsiLle. All that he could see was the curling of the smoke with each discharge of cannon, .He thinks the rebels aimed parti cularly at his Masts, and were more desirous of disabling his vessel than of sinking or destroying it. When he mime to the lower Goverhment blockade, he found about fifty vessels bound up the river. Ile was boarded by officers from fifteen or twenty of them, who Inquired of him whether he had sustained any Injury. They were surprised to receive a negative reply, as the firing had been exceedingly spirited for some fifteen mi nutes. • • - The following is a copy of the permit, under authority of which the Suspiehanna sailed down the Potomac: NAVY DEPARTMENT, Sept. 30, 1861 Permit is 'hereby granted to Daniel Myers, owner of the Teasel called the Mu quehanna, to run and ply the said vessel on the Potomac river, for the purpose of ge neral freighting; upon conditions that the said vessel shall not touch at any point on the Virginia shore of said river below Alexandria. or run into any of the inlets, rivers, or bays on the Virginia side; and that no person or persons on board of said vessel shall hold any commu nication, direct or indirect, with insurgents or persons rebelling against the authority of the United States, nor in any other manner abuse or exceed the authority given by this pcmilt. NOTE.—The bond given to the department prior to the issuing of this permit, does not in any manner affect the liability of the vessel to seizure, or those on board to im yeisonment, in case it is violated. The Susquekanna has but ono deck and two matte. She is FS Met S inches long, and 23 feet 2 inches wide, and 6 feet IS inched deep. She is square likened, and has no galleries. She was built in Port Deposit, Maryland, and is fora• years old. She was fired into once before at Freestone Point, when the steamer Delaware, which was conveying troops to Washington, was also made the mark of rebtl batteries. On that occasion sho was load ed with lumber fur the collector of the port of .lexan• dria, and only escaped conversion into a sieve by her customary good fortune. On the same date on which the Susquehanna was last. VrNi - into, the schooner John. 4. 11. Dixon, of Chesa— peake, Was also flied upon while running the gauntlet of the Potolnec,, end coldly. fortunate in escaping damage. She had . no cargo, and, like the Susquehanna, Is about 77 tone burden. THE PIRACY' CASE—A.COTIITTAL OF ONE OF Tug Pittsortsrts.—"Yesterday morning, Eben Lane, the last of the crow of the pirate Jeff Davis captured on board the Enchantress, was put un trial, charged, as the -others were, with piracy. Lane acted as navigator to the prize crew on board the Enchantress. Ifs is a na tive of Massachusetts, where all his family reside. lie is the most respectable looking of tbo whole party, and he exhibited mord concern in regard to the issue than any of the other prisoners. Ilia father has been in at tendance on the court during the trial of the other de fendants, and has watched with deep interest the pro ceedings in the different cases. F. C. Brewster, Esq., appeared as counsel for Lane. The following jury was empanelled: Henry N. Uhler, druggist r lilanayunk• Peter Parker, hatter, 731 Wallace street• Joseph IL Collins_ merchant, 727 Brown atraet ; John Dyer, innkeeper, Rising. Sun; Andrew U. Tippon, printer, northeast corner of Fifth and Race streets; Richard P. Cummings, roofer, 449 North Fourth street; Francis. §. Uhler, clerk, 704 North Front street; John Bakeoven, fisherman, 927 Vienna street; William E. Tenbrook, merchant, 1925 Chestnut street; John A. Newman, jeweler, 443 Green street; Vincent Taylor, gentleman, at Hauban street; John Smith, gentleman, Springfield, Delaware county. Tlie jury having been obtained without difficulty, Wm. H. Keller, Esq., in behalf of the Government, said that with the concurrence of his colleagues, he was about to perform what was always a cheerful duty in a prosecut ing °nicer, wild eminently so at this time—to ask the jury, on presenting the bill against Lane, without evidence, to render a verdict of not guilty. It was proper to state why this course was pursued. The Enchantress, the vessel captured, cud for which the defendant was brought to this court, was one of the fastest sailing vessels that ever left a port in the United States. When the owners and officers of the vessel were first privately examined as to the \testimony they would give, they stated that they were confident that them must nave been somebody on board who did not wish to carry her into Charleston or Savannah. In sixteen days the vessel had mode only about two hundred and fifty miles. An investigation of all the facts disclosed the important ono that Eben Lane had been the navigator. Under all these circumstances the Coven:rant would ask a verdict of not guilty. Judge Grier concurred in the course pursued by the Government, and the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. The allegation of Lane is that at night be kept the vessel north, while during the day he was compelled to steer south. • The defendant was not discharged after the verdict, as the court decided it proper to wait a few days to' allow the antlawities at Washington to say whether there was any further charge against him. The jurors were discharged until Moder nest, SALES OF REAL ESTATE.—TIIO following sales of real estate end stocks were made at the Exchat= yI A. relay, by .1111111..: A.
