®l \t |Press« WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5,1862. THE WAR. >jnE Hbbo of Huntsville is no More! Ma jor General Ormsby MoKnight Mitohell, the world renowned astronomer, the erudite scholar, ablo au thor, gallant Boldier, accomplished ohioftain, be loved father, friend, and patriot, is dead. Not tiy fatal rebel missile did he fall, but by that fell, de stroyer, yellow, or malarious fever, ho was stricken down while at the post of duty. On either side of the bed, upon which ha was te> breathe out his great spirit, lay two of his favorite sons, siok of tho fever, whom he had learned to love more than ever, as his companions in arms, and whom ho tolt ho was giving as a worthy snorifioe upon the altar of liberty. Gon. Mitoholl died at the headquarters of tho Depart ment of the South, at Beaufort, South Caro lina, October 30, 1862* on tho ere of the achievement of successes of no loss dimensions than the capture of several important Southern seaport towns, for whioh he was preparing- expe ditions when ho died. Major General 0. MoK. Mitchell was born in Kentucky in 1803, but en tered tbo Military Aoademy from the State of Ohio. He beoamo a oadot at West Point in the year 1820, and graduated on tho 30th day of J line, 1820, standing No. 15 in a class of forty-six, among whom w<ro Robt. E Leo and Jos. E. Johnson, both generals in the rebel servioe.- On the Ist of July, 1820, ho was promoted to a brevet second lieute nancy in the 2d Unitod States Artillery, and during the tamo day received bis full commission for that rank. On the 30th day of August, 1820, he was appointed acting assistant professor of mathematics atihe military academy at West Point, whioh posi tion he retained until tho 28th of August, 1831. He resigned his military rank on tho 30th day of September, 1832. He then began the study of the law, and practised as counsellor at law in the oity of Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1832 to 1831’. He nest became a professor of mathematics, phi losophy, and astronomy, at the Cincinnati Col lege, in Obio, which position he held for ten years, viz. : from 1834 to 1844. Daring that time— viz - from 1836 to 1837—he was the ohief engineer of the Little Miami Railroad, and in 1811 was ap pointed a member of tho Guard of Visitors to the Military Academy at West Point. Ho became tho founder and director of tho Observatory in Cincin nati in 18-15, and retained tho latter position for several years, during whioh time ho edited and published a noted astronomical journal, entitled tho Srdcriat Messenger. From 1847 to ISIS ho held the position of Adjutant General of tho State of ' Ohio, and in 1849 was appointed the ohief engineer of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, which position ho held for some length of time. During all these years he resided in Cin oir.xati, Ohio. On tho appearanoo of the President’s proclamation, immediately after the bombardment of Fort Sumptor, calling the people to arms, Gen. Mitchell was one of the first to re spond ; and although bis services, in a military capacity, were not immediately recognized, he mado strenuous efforts to obtain recruits and forward them to Washiogton, and made several fine speeches, arousing the people to the sense of the danger which then threatened the oapital of the nation. On the 9th of August, 1861, ho was commissioned a brigadier general of volunteers, when he was or dered to the West. The dash with which ho made his brilliant entry into tho rebel works at Bowling Green has not yot been forgotten, and oiroum stanoes more than his will had prevented him from coming more prominently before the public ere this event. By the results it is plain that, after tho occupation of Nashville, he moved down the railroad leading from that city to Chattanooga, where he was doubtless ex pected ; but suddenly, and without any previous notico of his movements, we find his foroe to have turned on to a branch line to Fayetteville, and, by a grand forced march aoross the country, he turns up in possession of a'point of their main Southern trunk line of railroad—the rebels’ principal route of communication —midway between their two principal points of occupation at Chattanooga and Corinth. Here he seized a quuntity of rolling stock, and by its aid ho secured “ one hundred milesof the railroad.” Another brilliant manoeuvre gave him possession of Huntsville, Alabama, and rendered the retreat of the rebels in front of General Hal leck not only necessary but dangerous. The cam paign was thus ended, and for his services he was made a Major GeLeral, and ordered to the com mand of the Department of the South in August last. Mitchell will rank high as an author. His “ Planetary and Stellar Worlds” and 11 Popular As tronomy” have become text-books, and his “As tronomy of the Bible” is one of the ablest and most remarkable works upon the scienoe of Astronomy. THE NEWS. There were 36 American sea-going vessel < lo3t <»r missing during last month as follows: 1 steamer, 11 ships, 5 barks, 1 brig, 16 schooners, and 2 sloops. Of these, 7 were wrecked, 18 burned, 4 abandoned, 4 foundered,! rundown, and 2 missing. The large number destroyed by Are is owing to the piratical operations of the steamer Alabama, 14 out of the 18 having been set on fire by that craft. Gen, Wool is placing a somewhat tighter rein upon paroled rebel prisoners than was heretofore drawn. An order has been issued requiring all of thorn to report at the office of Major Win. J?. Jones, mili tary provost marshal, within twenty-four hours, on penalty of forfeiting their paroles. The Major’s offioe, Monday morning, was considerably thronged with Confederates obeying the summons. They looked in excellent condition, exhibiting'signs of having heenwell cared for. A tebribie gale prevailed on the lakes on Sun day night. On Lake Ontario the following vessels were wrecked: Schooners Ontonagon, Parmer; propeller Bay State, and the Mary Ann and Ga soil®) besides two others, names' unknown. On Lake Brie the schooners Bond and Couch, and the bark Stark, were driven ashore and twelve lives were lost. It is feared that the crew and pas sengers of the propeller Bay State, which foundered off Oswego, are lost; Altogether, it is supposed thirty or forty lives were lost. It is stated that the Brie Company have pur chased the Atlantic and Great Western (broad gauge) Railroad, and leased the Cleveland and Mahoning Road, which connects with the Atlantic and Great Western at Warren, A new rail—broad gauge-bis to be laid down on the Cleveland and Mahoning.line, and upon the completion of the second division of the former, trains will run,di rect from Cleveland to New York. The first sec tion of the Atlantic and Great Western Road is now in good running order, and at an early day the entire line will be in operation. Camp Latham, at Lincoln, Illinois, occupied by Colonel Latham's 106th Regiment, was burned on the 31st ultimo, destroying a quantity of arms, ,te. Most of the troops, had gone home, learing a few companies, and the rebel sympathizers thought it a fine time to destroy Government property. GbnxralAew. 0. Davis has delivered him* self up to the civil authorities of Indianapolis, to be tried for manslaughter, in killing General Wm. Nelson. He was admitted to bail, and has gone to his command, with the army of the Cumberland. The friends of General Lew. Wallace are highly gratified at his being ordered to report to General MoClernand. TheTndiana troops which expect to accompany tbig expedition will doubtless be as signed to Wallace’s division. The Government has purchased sixty-eight acres of land directly east of Indianapolis, near the cor poration, for a permanent arsenal, under the recent act of Congress. General Thomas A. Morris has-not yet ac cepted the major-general’s commission recently tendered him by the President.

It is not In our power to anndunca definite ly the result of yesterday’s elections. The Indicationsj however, are that the State of New Yoik has gone for HoRATio Seymour by a small majority. We base this o pinion upon lft statement from New York, announcing large' majorities for Seymour along the Hudson 1 river, as far as Albany.; It is not possible that the western counties of the State will over balance these majorities, although this hope is entertained. Fernando and Benjamin Wood seem to have been elected to Congress, as well: as Mr. Brooks, of the Express newspaper. In New Jersey, the Democrats have probably carried the State. In Massa chusetts, the friends of the Administration have triumphed. Governor Andrew is re elected, as well as a Legislature favorable to Hr. Sumner for the Senate. This is gratify ing, for the coalition against Mr. Sumner was one of the most powerful ever arrayed against a public man. Our friends in Delaware ; • seem to have carried that State, and as their success will probably lead to the emancipation of the. remaining slaves in the lower counties, we hail it as a substantial triumph of freedom. In Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, the Ke publicans. are reported to be triumphant, but irom Missouri we know nothing. All our re turns are necessarily indefinite, and days must elapse before we are entirely satisfied. The lesson we learn from all these elections is that of thorough and abiding confidence in the Administration. We must not- dwell on mere causes in canvassing the result. We ail know that had the men in the field been at homo, hundreds of thousands of votes would have been added to our cause everywhere. Wo all know the base uses to which in creased taxation—increased revenues —paper money—the depreciation of circulation aud the necessary advance upon the commo dities of life, have been applied in misleading tho laboring classes. The love, for an old party, and the veneration for old tradi tions, have prevented many loyal followers of the Democratic faith from joining with the friends of the country in their effort to sustain fhe Administration. These are things of the past, however, and it is unprofitable to dwell upon them now. Our duty is with the future. And if we are only true to ourselves in the future, all things will go well. The policy of tho Administration is decided, and that policy will know no change. We are committed to it. Our purpose is to sorve it faithfully aud to the end. Wo believe this country can only bo saved by earnest and unflagging devotion to that policy. Our friends everywhere are fully impressed with this high determination, and we must aid aud sustain them. The cause of universal liberty never had such a mighty army of warm and true adherents. They have pledged themselves to its triumph, and they are advancing to a full realization of all their hopes. Our duty now is to prepare for a complete organization of the friends of the Administra tion everywhere. We must strengthen all who beliovo in our faith. Wherever there are two or ten or a thousand loyal and true men, let them meet and counsol together. Let them see to it that the policy of the Administration, the purpose of the war, and the duties of the citizen are everywhere understood and ex plained. Wherever misrepresentations and calumnies are indulged, let it bo their businoss to explain and remove them. One good argu ment, properly presented and circulated, will do a vast amount of good in edu cating and ■ elevating public sentiment. We cannot be too zealous in this work, aud we have an argument for zeal in every defeat we have suffered, and in every tri umph wo have achieved. Wo hava faith in tho American people, and we believe that they have faith in the Administration. In all its iearful trials that Administration has so homo itself—it has been so true,' unflagging, and honest—it has manifested sueh an unselfish and self-denying devotion to the country that we only anticipate the verdict of history in awarding to it the highest praise. In re organizing' our strength for future contests, let us take another great lesson to heart as it is found in tho results of recent elections. Let none but the best men be placed in nomina tion for office—none but the most deserving at the head of our various organizations. The purest and noblest friends of tho Administra tion should be selected to serve the people and insure success to our cause. To have fought such a fight as this recent autumn campaign; to have endured all the opprobrium and misrepresentation that one of the greatest wars ever known upon the earth would necessarily bring: to have survived falsehood, and fraud, and contumely, and, at the same time, to have embodied in our creed the most advancod liberal sentiment of the age, is, indeed, a great honor. Let us be as constant hereafter as we have been hereto fore, and so, takiDg courage from our many victories, and the great unity of purpose every where exhibited—taking warniiig from the de feats we have sustained, and the causes that have produced them—let us calmly commence the task of organizing future victory, and, above all, of securing and deserving success. l»n the Ocean, The spasmodic successes which have marked the career of such rebel war steamers as the Menimac, Arkansas, Manassas, and Alabama, redound neither to the credit of the rebel Navy Department nor to the discredit of our own. They are purely exceptional, and not to be taken into account in estimating the energy or effectiveness of either naval Power. They are like the meteor—very brilliant, but without an orbit, or any normal influence, and very eva. Descent. They havo no elements of stability that can be grasped by human calculation, and their glory is speedily forgotten. The achievements of our own navy, if they have been less audacious, have been more permanent and satisfactory. They have sustained the credit of the nation, and have rendered an in valuable aid in suppressing the rebellion. They have reaped their portion of the glory in nearly every great victory that has marked the progress of the war; and furthermore, it may be justly claimed that they have, in a great degree, revolutionized the navies of Europe. The Government has now: nearly four hundred vessels afloat, and a powerful fleet of Iron-elads, fifty-two in number, will soon be thundering at the gates of Charleston, Savannah, and the other seaport cities of the South: The great highways of international traffic will be wholly freed from the depreda tions of rebel cruisers, and the voyages of our merchantmen can be made in tedious security. Notwithstanding the blame which has been sought to be attached to the Navy Department for its presumed remissness in falling to cap ture the pirate Alabama, we feel confident that the career of that notorious craft will be as brief as it has been audacious. It is stated, on good authority, that five swift and well armed Federal steamers are now cruising in search of her, and, judging from the unwonted haste with which the Vanderbilt is being fitted out, she will likewise join in the chase before the end of the week. It is not improbable that the Alabama will shortly visit Now York harbor, as Captain Semmks has threatened; but she will come in charge ot a Federal prize crew, if sbo comes at all. A Patron of the Ar ts and Sciences The idea of war, to the unobservant mind, is suggestive only of barbarism, suffering, and de solation, and is the subject, of allothers, fraught with the gloomiest reflections. It is regarded as the Nazareth from which no good can come. The testimony of history does not sustain this . notion, but shows ns, conclusively, that all na tions have passed to civilization through the terrible ordeal of blood. War is, no doubt, in the material sense, a calamity, to be averted by all honorable means. But it is something more than a lavish expenditure of money, a profuse shedding of human blood, and the annexation-cf subjugated provinces, despoiled and laid waste. It is something more even than vindicated honor, a concession to the vain thirst for glory, or the satisfaction of a conqueror’s ambition. These would be'bar ren results, indeed, to the years of bloody strife that fill the pages of the world’s history. We may find , their compensating elements, however, in the peaceful records of science and philosophy, to which the present rebellion has contributed some Valuable pages. During the past year and a half the inventive genius of t our people, far from " having been de pressed, seems rather to have received an im petus in the new channels in which it has been directed. We built a small iron-clad war-vessel, as an experiment, and the nations of Europe fashioned their navies by it, as a model. England built a Warrior and France a Gloire, and we cast guns of sufficient calibre to sink them both. A single siege gun, by its mere formidableness, drove Beauregard from Corinth, without the burning of a pound of powder; and another piece of ordnance, in the same manner, frightened tha.enemyfrom their ' formidable works at Yorktown, withont stri. king a blow. We have invented land Moni tors, submarine batteries, and revolving can non, withont number, and have made war a game of ' Science—a contest of opposing intel lects—instep of-tbe marshalling of physical forces, and a dynamic experiment with human . lives. Thus, war is a necessary stimulant of science, and science is the handmaid of civilization. The very destructiveness of our artillery is an augury of * c the day of perfect peace.” If this he true, it follows that whoever invents an engine of destruction is as much i bene-; factor of mankind as ho who cultivates two blades of grass where but one had grown be fore. He is making war the most certain remedy for war, and teaching peace societies 5 that their mission Is founded on short-sighted ness, and their whole policy a mistaken phi lanthropy. There can be no peace between; right and wrong—truth and error—freedom and oppression. The contest must come, and a trace is but a prolongation of its horrors, insofar as it strengthens the resources of the antagonists and widens the breach between them. The lesson is one which we may study with prospect in the present juncture of our national affairs. It tells us that we must fight out tho war precipitated upon us until our whole nation is restored to its first greatness, and no single issue lives to distract our coun cils. The laws of social economy are inexo rable as fate. We cannot disregard them it we would ; we cannot disregard tho voice of history, whose truths are oracles, and whose garnered philosophy is sealed with precious blood./ We must fight our way to,peace with sword and gun. The better the implements we have the sooner will our work be ended, and the more satisfactory will be the result. We have invoked science to help us in our task, and the day of rest and peace cannot much longer be deferred. LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” ■Washington, November 4, 1862. A new party will shortly appear demanding a vigorous prosecution of the war against tho rebellion —I allude to the oppressed people of the Southern States. Whatever may be said, nothing disheartens this oppressed class more than dilatory and uncertain military move ments on the part of tho loyal armies. Many Southern people are always forced to go into the rebel army after every Union dofoat. Now that winter is at- hand, a winter which threat ens to add immeasurably to their sufferings, thousands who have been compelled to fight against the Republic are nearly as eager for the triumph of the old flag as they have been courageous iu fighting against it; for they know right well that there is no earthly pros-' pect of peace save upon the basis of sub mission to' the Government of the United States. They know, too, that peaceful ad justment is impossible on the basis of a sepa ration of the Union, and - they look forward, therefore, to every new campaign, and espe cially to a winter campaign, with despondency and horror. These men have been disen chanted in tho school of a stern and bloody experience. They have been disappointed iu the spirit and courago of the free States; in the amazing resources of these States; in the opposition or indifference of many of their friends in Kentucky, Missouri, Marylaud, Ten nessee, and Virginia, to the whole scheme of the rebellion, and in the shuffling conduct of Great Britain, who offers recognition one day and regrets and withdraws it the next. How ever passionate and prejudiced they imy be, and still are, there is nothing with this pros pect in view to stimulate them to further sacri fices. Hence it is that many of their prisoners freely confoss that, the people of the seceded States are intensely interested in a vigorous prosecution of the war by the Federal autho rities. Here, then, is another reason in favor of bold, immediate, and crushing movements upon the onemy. The short letter of Secretary Chase to Mr. Lincoln, of Boston, in which he disposes of the falsehood that the National debt, on tbo 7th of October, had then reached nearly two thousand millions of dollars, and his declara tion, under his own official authority, that the actual amount of tho public debt, on the day stated, including tho whole circulation of United States notes, and all unpaid requisi tions; in short, every form of ascertained in debtedness, was but six hundred and thirty three millions nine hundred and seven thou sand five hundred and fourteen dollars and se venty-eight cents, and that this amount in cludes seventy-six millions four hundred and fifty-five thousand two hundred and ninety nine dollars and twenty-oight cents, being the amount of the National debt on the 4th of Maich, 1861—this short letter will go further to disgrace the partisans who have been abusing the confidence of the people of Pennsylvania, and to vindicate the adminis tration of the finances during this war, than a hundred speeches of 3lr. Hughes, or a hundred pamphlets of TVm. B. Read. A moderate estimate, made by a careful and ex perienced financier, informs me that the-pro ceeds of the tax bill will be at least one hun dred and fifty millions. Add to this sixty millions under the new tariff bill, already ascer tained to be certain to a fraction, and eight millions lrom the postal revenue, leaving the proceeds of the sales of the public lands en tirely out of the question, and we have a net annual return from all these sources of two hundred and eighteen millions of dollars. Other calculations state the revenue at much higher figures, but it seems to me that these are sufficient to show that the inter est on the public debt is safe, and that a largo margin will be left to pay the expenses of the war, even if unsettled at the end_of.Mr. Lincoln’s Administration. Tfie cordiality and readiness with which the Federal tax is paid by the classes who feel it most is another assurance that our cause must triumph, and that the Union cannot b 8 dissolved. Labor - must, of course, assume a large share' of the common burdens, hut when our working men reflect that all this expenditure, taxation, and debt are the result of a slave rebellion against a free Government, and consider how much more comfortable and happy they are than the whites of the South, they will not regret the sacrifice.

J The'BountyE’uni), Commission.—Tlie Bounty Fund Oommittee have discontinued bounty for; future enlistments. This coarse has been taken in con sfquenceof the announcement that the quota of the city has been filled. The bounty to recruits for old regiments was discontinued on the 28th of October, as it was then thought that the draft would at once take place., The. bounty is still being paid to two regiments for three years or the war, and to two regiments for nine months. The bounty is paid only when a company of ninety eight men is formed with officers, and mustered into the service. The bounty for the old regiments was fifty dollars for each recruit, provided he be accredited to the quota of Philadelphia. Only twenty-five dollars bounty is extended to the recruit joining a new regiment. The captains of companies also received five dollars for each recruit. The aggregate bounties for a three-years regi ment amount to $llO,OOO, and for a nine-months regi ment $60,000. The committee pnbllcly pledged • itself ready to pay .bounties,for the number of regiments aforesaid, and: they will redeem that pledge. The subscriptions to the. fund have about oeased, and the committee are not pressed for funds to meet all their promised engagements,’ Since the organization of the Bounty Fund Committee \ upwards of 2,700 men have beon recruited for old regi ments in the field—a greater nutnher, it is said, than re cruited by any 01 her county or town in the Uoiled States. This fact, we understand, has been suitably 'acknow ledged by the Secretary of War. About 6,000 men have been organized .into new regiments. Whan the State was invaded, the committee passed a resolution to ad vaneAfiva doiLwa wme'"captain of each company for every recruit, in order that he might be furnished witn . a blanket, knapsack, and such, other articles as were called forhy the Governor’s proclamation. In this way the committee spent some $40,000. The expenses of the committee have been enormous, and it is difficult for the people generally to realize the full extent of the ex penditures. In the short space of two weeks, for in stance, the committee expended; for music alone, $441. In one week $l6l were spent to pay drum corps. The committee provided each recruiting office with a re cruiting flag, a recruiting sign, paid rent for officss, &o. A full report of the expenses of this committee will soon be made public. AN e • UNTiRBIFIBD Bbeckinsidge” BBAWL.—'The . “ New York Baloon ” in Ghestnut street, below Fourth, (a questionable resort for persons woo seek strong refreshments and female society at very unsocial houi s at nigbt), was the scene of a political row this' mornirg, between one and two o’clock. A half seas-over “ sympathizer ” essayed to give three cheers for Breckinridge over his glasß of grog, r which was hissed by another individual standing near, whereupon the latter was set upon by a number of .

A crowd now collected contained Borne Union men, who proceeded to reeoue the person.who. had dared to hiss, and the “ Unterrificd Sympathizer ” exhibited symptoms of backing down from his enthusiastic po sition in favor of a notorious rebel general, and compromised matters with the crowd by declaring that he’ was a «Douglas Democrat, and didn’ care who knew it.” Soon after this, he Blipped ont of the .saloon, and the crowd, generally too much ob fusticaied to miss him, seon resolved themselves into a committee'to consider the subject* of. the election In New York, attractive cyprians of the «New York bar,” bad whisky, Abolitionism, the war, and the price of gold!

The demand liabilities of the banks are decreasing from day to day, and u majority of them are in a stronger position at this time than they were one year ago.

Of .factors’ paper there has been none issued fjr months past; of mortgage securities, in the shape of loans, th-re have been none negotiated for six months past, that is, in- the way of loans. There have been sales of notes of hand, given in payment of purchases of real property, movements dating back eight, ten and twelvemonths. Of course, it Is well understood there have been no sales of real estate of any magnitude for months, excepting one large succession sale in July last. Nor have we any guide at this tima for a quota tion of mortgage paper. Sugar estates are considered very unsafe, and cotton plantations are in a dnbiens attitude, so far as seoority for obligations based on them go. ‘-The movements ic Exchange to-day were free for the times.
