• OUR Southern news to-day is highly entertaining.
The rebel press at Richmond is "tearing things to
tatters" over the recent emancipation proolama- ,
lion. It has set the rebel leaders almoit distracted.
They very much fear the inauguration of negro
insurrections from the effects of the new policy.
They repicture the scenes of the Nat Turner in
surrection in Southampton county, Virginia, in
1831, when fifty five white persons were murdered
by enraged ;Agrees. This insurrection was started
by a very" smart" slave, named Nat Turner, au
original military genius, belonging to a man named
Travis. His followers murdered Nat's master, and
most of his offspring—one daughter, an excellent
woman, remaining. She was the wife" of Edmund
.Ruffin, Senior, the rams who originated the present
sebellion, and who fired the first gun at Fort Sump.
per when it was being bombarded " for amusement."
Thus, it appears that, whichever way we turn, we
trid that the ".rising Afric " has something to do
with the present rebellion. When Nat Turner was
hung, his last words were as remarkable as was his
famous insurrection. He asked the Almighty to
ourse the slave.hunter, but to bless " Ole Virginny."
If the President's proclamation should incite the
slaves to strike for freedom immediately, and cora
mit excesses, it will be no more Ulan their masters
have done, and, in addition to this, such insurrec
tions will be the result of the action of the rebels
themselves in throwing off the only safeguard they
had for protection from any belligerent—the Na
tional Government.

sumption of command at Yorktown by sending out
an expedition to reconnoitre toward Richmond.

THE NEWS.
publish to. day the cartel agreed upon between
the Federal Government and.that.existing in the re
bellious States of the Union. It is essentially the
438/11.0 as that agreed upon between our Govern
ment and that of Great Britainin 1812. This agree
ment for the general exchange of prisoners has a
history with, which few, persons are acquainted,
and the whole affair has-been for months so com
pletely bound up in ''red tape," on both sides,
that but few persona can give any account of it.
CcMferences upon the subject commenced between
generals WoOl. and Huger niore than a year ago;
then between Generals Wool and Cobb: then be
tween Generals Wool and Ransom, and finally be

'visited a member of his Cabinet; hoping thereby to
obtain an invitation to the ball. Re presented bis

"Mr. --, of the Southern Confederacir, eh!

TUB Earl of Ellesmere, son of the Earl who
ritited this country in the year 1853, as British
Oonmaitaioner to the Industrial Exhibition in New
York, has just died in England, at the age of forty.
On the death of his father, in February, 1857, the
late nobleman succeeded to the earldom and exten
sive family estates in Lancashire and Surrey. One
'of bis latest acts was the gift of £l,OOO, at the meet
ing presided over by the Earl of Derby, held at his
residence, Bridgewater House, for the relief of the
'distrets in Lancashire and Cheshire, owing to the

Tax British law reports received by the last
'mail note a singular example of Chancery success
in cc not doing it;" one almost as infamous as the
`Southampton ease, a few years, since. About two
'hundred years ago, a Thursday afternoon lecture
ship for the church of Al Hallows, Bread street,
London, was estab:ished by the will of Lady Mid
dleton and Mr. Daniel Elliot, bat, in consequence
of a suit in Chancery, the income of the trust-fund

4m the 27th of last month, at the age of seventy
years, was an early friend and associate of Shelley,

Owl ,fuir.Vs from Cincinnati up to last night states
cffiaially that O.en. Morgan has arrived at green
upsburg, Ky., on the Ohio river, fifteen miles above
Portsmouth. He erolteuated Cumberland Clap on
the night of the 17th nlt., with Gen. Stevenson's
•army three miles in his front, with Bragg and Mar
shall on his flanks, and Kirby Smith in his rear.
He kept on the defensive during the march, the
lavalry of Gen. Stevenson and the guerilla Morgan
,constantly harassing hina. He marched one day
•twentyfour consecutive hoUrs, and on three sue
,cessive days drove John Morgan'a men from
:their suppers. For three days his
,force was on a
limited supply of water, Such a feat must be es
:teemed a great success.
Tax Union feeling in North Carolina appears to
be dominant. The President's emancipation pro
clamation has been received there with great en
thusiasm by the" non-slaveholders. They are to
hold a great Union mass meeting at Beaufort in
, honor of the event, in which all the counties in
the two neighboring Congressional districts are to
be largely represented. The people are to bring
their camps with them and have
,a three days' cele

Tusaa appears to have been a pretty, brisk fight
at Sarcoxie,"according to reports; from Springfield,
Mo. Two brigades of the Kansas army were there
on the nth, and heavy firing had been heard in that
direction. The partioulara of the battle . are not
known. The rebels boast of having large forces in
Arkansas, on the Missouri State line, from whence
they threaten to maron directly on St. Louis.

Mr. Nicholson.
Mr. JAMES B. Nrenonson favors the electors
of the Fourth Congressional district with a
brief letter, in which he reminds them of the
fact that he is a candidate for Congress, and
lays down his platform of principles. In this
respect Mr. NICHOLSON is more frank than
most of his colleagues, and we are glad to see
his boldness. We must admit, too, that Mr.
Nimionsort writes very well c•I am in favor,"
he says, cc of employing all the resources, and
concentrating the energies of the people, in
Order to put down, in the most speedy manner,
the present wicked rebellion." Now, let us
see the sincerity of Mr. NICEtOLSON in this de
claration. •,He belongs to the• Democratic or:
ganization, although - it is controlled by the
worst men in the comm.unity—by the very men
whom Mr. Niclionsoa . opposed and despised
a few years ago. Then he was a schismatic—a
rebel—a disaffected person'; now he is a be {
loved disciple. 'Then he was fbr a great prin
c!ple _ and a great man ; now he affiliates with
the men who betrayed that principle, and sent
that man in sorrow to his grave. He repre-.
sents F. W. Rearms, and JAMES BUCHA.NAN,
Slid Wm. B. Ram), and CHARLES INGERSOLL ;
and he is chained to a platform which favors
the union of Pennsylvania with the Southern
Confedtracy, whither her ,t 4 natural bonds"
would lead her, and which regards Secession
and treason as among the 4c lawful alterna
tives " of a disaffected State.
Thus we see what Mr. Nrcuor.sos says, and
a here he stands. He may be sincere in his
sentiments now, but what assurance have we
that his sincerity will last longer than the elec
tion day. He consents to be the slave of these
men, and they wi I be obeyed. If he can
sacrifice so much of his-principles as to unite
with the men whom he •has heretofore pro
fessed to loathe, he will find no difficulty in
becoming as good a Demecrat as Mr. VALLAN
DIGIIAM, Or Mr. BIDDLE, and as bitter an enemy
of the Administration. When a man sells
himself to the devil he is not to be, trusted
among the angels ; and if the Breckinridge
organization succeed in placing such Douglas
men as Mr. Nrcuonsolf, Mr. CAssinv, and Dir.
STir,ns, in power, they will have little trouble
in making them perform Whatever duties it
may be necessary to do.
War Medals
The action of Congress in appropriating a
sum of money to enable the Secretary, of the
Navy to have a certain number of medals pre
pared, for distribution among, such persons as
have pre.eminently distinguished themselves
during , the present war, in the naval service,
will'probably be extended to other branches of
the war department, so that not only the navy,
but the army, including artillery and engineers,
may have gallant or exemplary, conduct honor
ably acknowledged, in the face of the country..
In England, after the final fill of NAPotnoN,
a silver medal was voted by Parliament to
every soldier who hailbeen in arms under the
British flag in the Waterloo campaign, that is,
in the, three battles of Ligny, Quatre Brea, and
Waterloo. At a subsequent period, a medal
was also granted to the survivors of the Pe
ninsular campaign, which lasted six years.
Each medal is about the size of our half dol
lar, and has a smooth-rim or edge upon which
is engraved the'name of the recipient'. There
is a small steel hasp inserted, by means of
which it is attached, by .a-ribbon, to the coat
breast. The Duke of WELLINGTON, WhO COM
.
mended the British troops during all the cam
paigns thus commemorated, received his sil
ver nredals, the same as those given to the
youngat
personal risk to Each man had been the same,
no distinction " should be made in the
acknowledgment to each, and therefore
there was one and the same silver
medal for general and private. iThe only
distinction made we's by appending a
small silver' bar to the ribbon for , each vic
tory in which . the wearer had participated.
Subsequently, medals of honor were distribu
ted to the armies Of India and the Crimea,
and in 1856 Vicroa EMMANUEL,. of Sardinia,
gave a Crimean medal to his troops. In N.A.-
yoixox's army the survivors of his great un
cle's last.campaign of-1815 wear the St. Helena
,'medal, and the warriors of Algiers, the Cri
mea, and Italy are separately decorated in
like fashion. All these war medals—English,
Sardinian, and French—are of silver, and
neither Emperor, King, nor Commander-in-
Chief, has his of superior metal. In 1815,
alter the great Napoleon crisis had passed, a
military" cross made of bronze was dish.);
buted among the Prussian army, and the
new Victoria cross, exclusively worn by those
who have performed deeds of great valy "on
flood or field," is also bronze. It would be
curious if, in the old European monarchies,
where Aristocracy prevails; the highest and
the lowest should wear the sameilational ae.
knowledgmerat fer
ary 'While in our republic, where individual equali
ty is part of Our system, there should be a
distinction made. On the breast of a brave:
man, it matters not whether his pendant
medal be gold, silver, or bronze ; but it would
seem fair not to have a difference made which
might appear exclusive. There is full time,
however, for the consideration of this matter.
The First District
The endorsement of. Mr. WEBB by the Na
tional Union Convention of the First district
was a fine compliment to his manly and loyal
letter, and a deserved appreciation of his pa
triotism and boldness. Mr. WEBB is now be
fore the community as the representative of
the :Government, the Union, and the laws.
He haipledged himself to sustain the Admini
stration, and to'oppose the organization which
is now conspiring against the Administration.
There are but two candidates in the field : Mr.
RANDALL, the Whig-Know-Nothing-Demo
crat-Breekinridge candidate, and Mr. Wunn, a
Democrat now, as he has always been, who
stood by DOUGLAS in his great trial, and now
shows his devotion to 'his memory and his
teachings by waging an unrelenting war upon
the men who murdered him. The people
cannot hesitate between these two men.
S in , trutar
•
It is singular that in Mr. NICHOLSON'S let
ter be makes no mention of the Administra
tion. He is cc faithful to the Constitution and
devoted to the Union," and so on, but not
one word about the Administration. We
have heard these glittering sentences before,
and know what they mean. Mr. Binimu went
further than Mr. NICHOLSON before his elec
tion in fidelity to the Constitution, but was
not a week in his seat until be became a sym
pathizer. We demand that Mr. Nicholson
define himself—and not only Mr. NEMIOLSON,
brit Mr. RANDALL, Mr. RTINE, Mr. Sraiankn,
in Lancaster, Gen. McCall, ' in Chester,'aii
every man on that ticket. Are, they in favor
of the Administration ? Do they wish to see
the laws executed ? Will they object to con
liseating the property of men who are mur
dering our brethren ? Will they support the
tax, the tariff, and the war revenue ? Tn
short, will they support the Adaiinistration
That includes everything, and when they fail
in that, they fail in everything. The` omission
of Mr. Nicuorson is singular and suspicious.
He must not palter with us in a double sense.
The Clarion District
In our notice of the laminations for Con
gress, in Saturday's edition, we inadvertently
spoke of the Union nominee in the Olarion
district as Mr. C. MYuns. We are informeel
that his Dame is AMOS Mymns. We' make the

LETTER FROM' " OCCASIONAL"
WAsturrivrom,DetobeTar, 1862.
_ ,
- The coming - election in the free States is not
a party contest. Were such the ease, we
might pass it.by as a circumstance'too foolish
and,trivial to receive runs, Attaii , ordinary at
tention. In the blden times the Pirty leaders
rallied their forces on minor and secondary
issues, and were inspired simply; bY the desire
to promote the success and efficiency of their
respective organizatiOns. The tariff—internal
improvements—territorial annexation—the poi.
litical relations of, the States to the central
Government,' and of the Territories to the
Statese-foreign riaturalimation e and slavery
all combined at various times 'to develope
party feeling and influence the general and
local elections. In these contests the charges
of proscription and persecution were freely
made by one side against the other side ; or
rather by one party striving to obtain power
against another party striving to retain power.
All this happened in times of peace. We are
now in the midst of a wicked and unrelenting
war. I have been hoping that in the elections
that must be •held there would be an absence
of all virulence, violence, and animosity.
Thus far there have been nothing but anger`and
disappointment. The energies that should be
employed against the enemy we • are now
wasting among ourselves. There is no reason
why the people should not assemble and unite,
without distinction of party, and defend the
Union at the ballot-box as they are de
fending it on the battle-field. The enemy
to any such union is the Breckinridge
Democratic organization. • Its platform,
its leaders, their history, and their avowed
opinions, all make a political union with them
impOssible. In "Ohio, we see such a man as
Mr. Vallandigham preaching his treason
through every school district; in NeW York,
Mr. Seymour ; insults the feelings of every
loyal man ; in -Berko county, Mr. Ancona re
fuses the fellowship'of any one who does not
endorse his disloyal course in the last House,
while Mr. Biddle would, of course, decline to
be associated with any one who did not regard
the war a cc Black Republican job." These
men have all become active partisans, and are
devoted to , the, ,only cause which Jefferson
Davis doesnot deprecate •and despise !
All who claim to be loyal should be carefu
to vote for no candidate who is not known to
be the warm friend of the Government. The
triumph of the• Government et the next elec
tion is a necessity almost as ,
absolute as the
triumph of General McClellan 'on the shores
of the Upper Potomac. What would be the
use of all the blood that has been shed, and
all the treasure that has been expended, if the
enemies'of the Union are to vitiate the triumphs
of the armies of the Union ? How long could
we maintain the Government with a Congregs
that would reject the confiscation measure, de
feat the tax-bill, and preivent the passage of a
taieff or revenue sehe.dule ? How long could
we keep an arm,y together with a House of
Representatives impeding its progress by
every obstacle that legislation could devise ?
How long,would it be before: commissioners
of peace would be sent trim Washington to
'Richmond with instructions to welcome 'their
old leader and representative, John C. Breek
einridge, with open arms? To place the Go
vernment in the charge of the Breckinridge De
mocracy would-be like committing the young
King of England to •the care of his Uncle
Gloster. If they control the next House they
will control the Government, and thus, by the
apathy -, and wickedness of the citizens at home,
all the good results of this glorious war would
be poisoned and destroyed. To prevent a ca
lamity so dire is the duty of every citizen, and
pre-eminently the duty of the Government.
The Government must maintain, itself. In
a time like•this I am for taking high ground.
The people, who have no interests to serve
beyond their interests as private citizens—who
have no office, and desire no patronage—are
throwing off their old opinions, and making
many s.airlfices to sustain the cause. While
-this is being done it would be monstrous to
`ask the Administration to stand idle, or even
to manifest indifference as to the'result. The
Administration would be far from guiltless -if
it did not exert,' all its powers to perm*
- every individual, directly or indirectly, to vote
'for the candidates in nomination who uncondi
tionally support the war and the Union by op
_nosing thecommon enemy. Igo so far as to
neueve - mats enesheeesresseseereet- - -
navy now in our cities awaiting ,
orders,
all privates and non-commissioned offi
cers under their command, all agents,
friends, and servants of •the Government
. in any capacity, should,:avall themselves - ,of this
opportunity to vote for the Government, and
against any candidate that may be disposed to
sympathize with the traitors. The Breckin
ridge Democracy cannot complain of any such
interest being manifested by the Administra
tion as to the result, of the election canvass,
remembering how they endorsed James Bu
chanan for writing his celebrated letter to
William C. Patterson, in which he prostituted
the patronage of the Government to secure
the election of Mr. Florence. Then, Mr. Bu
chanan pleaded for a party, proscribing and
persecuting all who did not follow it in its ini
quities. Mr. Lincoln may justly plead for a
country, bleeding, weak, and bitterly aesailed,
'encompassed by enemies and , environed by
dangers, and fighting against enemies in the
South, enemies abroad, and enemies around
its loyal homes. Oceemoxere

The Steamer Jura — off Gape Race.
OAPS RACK, 'October 4.—The steamer Jura, from
Liverpool on the 25th via Londonderry on the 28th !IL.:
wail boarded at 9 o'clock this morning by the news yaobt
of the Associated Press.
The steamer North American, from Quebec, arrived at
Londonderry on-the 26th.
The politiesl news brought by the Jura is unimportant.
The news of General MoOlellan's victory over General
Lee was received with mnch satisfaction by the Union
party in 'Liverpool, and gave an impstus to the cotton
market, witch was checked by large arrivals of Borate.
The London Timet of the 25th, in an editorial, says :
.‘ After the recent events, it is not impossible that we
may yet see Garibaldi crossing the Atlantic, in the
summed character of an American citizen, and fighting
for the subjugation of a nation struggling to be free."
The Morning Post remark, that, to be constant to his
principles, Garibaldi should -go to the ether side, where
nine millions are righting for the rigi t of governing
tbernselveo. It also endeavors to prove the incompe
tency of Gen. Pope from his own reports.
The London Times says that Gen. Pope, by his on
reports, has succeeded in proving that tf there was one
man more than another unlit to have the command in
the Federal army, it is a querulous general who puts the
blame of every failure upon others
The Times has an editorial highly eulogistic of the
Onnadas for their subscription for the relief of the dis
tressed operatives of Lancashire It regards the sub
ecription as a proof that, whatever difficulties may now
and then arise in adjusting the relative . obligations of
Great Britain and her colonies, their devotion to the
Crown is rod andactive at home.
. At a meeting of a few representatives of London firms
connoted with the Manchester trade, to examine the pro
posed substitute for cotton, they signed a memorandum
In favor of ite length, strength, and beauty, which, in
their opinion, rendered It worthy of the most careful
study of Tractical men. Whether the manufacture of it
can be economically and 'meant ally applied, they leave
to others to determine.

The Jouirial Decotart shows that the depression on the
Cotton trade had exercised a very beneficial influence on
the French woollen manufactories.-
The Paris Bourse was heavy at 69f. 15c. for thoßentee.
There is nothing new relative to the health of Gari

A large Garibaldian meeting has been held at the
Stockholm Exchange, at which an address was entbusi
esticelly adopted, expressine sympathy for Garibaldi, and
urging the epeedy evacuation of Rome by the French.
A masa meeting of the laboring classeeof-London is to
be held in Hyde Park on Sunday, the 29th, to give a
similar expression of feeling.
It has been announced, from an official source, that
Prince Hohenlehe has been relieved from the presidency

The Vice of Gas.

petard ay, October 4,1562.
2b the Editor 9f The Prete. ,
SIR : As there seems to be some misapprehension with re
gard to the action of the trustees of the gas works re
ducing the price of gas, in anticipation of the United
States tax, I enclose a copy'of their resolution, punt
on the 31st of March, and ask its insertion in your
paper.
It continues the gross price unchanged, and makes the
abatement of price by increasing the discount for prompt
pay to twenty five cents a thousand feet, instead of
eleven and a quarter cents, as heretofore; making the
net price two dollars per thousand on all gas used since
July Ist.
The Unite' States tax of fifteen cents per thousand is
to be charged on gas used since September Ist, and must
be placed VII the bill as a separate item, for which the
trust must account to the Government, without abate.
ment or discount. Respectfully, yours, .tc.,
JNO. C. CRESSON, Chief Engineer.
Resolution of the Board, passed March 31,1862
Resolved, That upon the present price of gas to con
, sumert—viz $2 25—there shell be, in lieu of the present
allowance delve per-cent ,an allowance of one ninth for
prompt payment, so that the cost to prompt-paying
consumers will be $2 per thousand cubic feet, to take
effect on the first day of July Heat, unless the tax
prolosed in Congress shall sooner take effect, in which
contingency this reduction shall take effect at the , same
time.
