fgi2e rbtlitss, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1803 Experimental Statesmanship in Missouri. in is the fault of many good men that, when they attempt a reform, their zeal in behalf of a theory leads them to foolish and absurd proceedings. This seems to be the misfortune of our friends in Missouri. There is a large party in that State who are known as Radical Emancipationists. Among them are many excellent citizens, loyal and de voted, and who have testified their loyalty and devotion in the noblest manner. They deserve all the praise that- can be, given to men of honest purpose, and the courage - with which they have preached the gos pel of freedom among the heathens of treason and slavery will be remembered with pride in the years to come. Much of the credit attending the success- of emanci pation in Missouri belongs to them. Their agitation made it popular, and eventually gained its triumph. Unfortunately; how ever, triumph has. not taught them patience or wisdom, and we find them in:convention assembled fiercely arraigningSthe Adminis tration, and venturing upon a platform as wild and impracticable as it is possible for enthusiastic and unthinking men to adopt. In looking over the proceedings of this con vention we are reminded of the doings of some of the French revolutionary: clubs, where resolutions were adopted declaring the universal freedom of man ;- general citi zenship ; death to the prisoners taken in battle ; perpetual fraternity ; a change in the calendar ; thenecessity of wearing the hair in, a peculiar fashion ; and the end of all human responsibility to divine laws. The World laughs at the enthusiastic Frenchmen ;* and the enemies of liberty remember with scornful glee that the efforts of these superfi cial students of ancient history only brought ridicule upon the cause. they gave their li'ves to establish. We are afraid that the smile judgment will be passed upon the radical emancipationists in Missouri. We have resolutions denouncing the President, Go vernor - GA:nr.LE, General SCHOFIELD, the Emperor NAPOLEON, and the murderer QUANTRELL , resolutions insisting upon im mediate emancipation in Missouri, " Warn ing the Legislature against disregarding the will of the people," thanking the President for arming the negroes, calling upon the Government - to drive the French out of _ Mexico, and requesting the radical mem bers of the Legislature to Vote for cer tain gentlemen for the National Se nate. We must admit that it would be difficult for any convention to adopt more: comprehensive resolutions, and our only surprise is that its members did not give us its opinions upon the war in New Zealand, and the difficulties with the Tycoon of Ja pan. We can imagine no finer field for ex perimental statesmanship than Asia and the Pacific islands. Our purpose is not so much to ridicule the efforts of these honest enthusiasts in Missouri, but to •see if_there is any real grie vance at the bottom of their elaborate rhe toric. These men call themselves emanci pationists, and demand immediate emanci pation. Yet, they.have emancipation ! Mis souri has passed an ordinance liberating the slaves after - a. period of years. This is the 'only sensible policy that could have been adopted: It accomplishes the - object sought;, and to--' prevent misery to those slave holders who are loyal, it gives them..time to prepare for the change. With such a victory on the record, any demand like this of immediate emancipation becomea petulance, and we dismiss it as such. AnOther grievance is *what they are pleased to call the tardy execution of the President's ' proclamation of emancipation. Here 'we have more_ petulance, and we answer it in the words of the President: ":The Procla mation cannot be retracted any more than the dead can be brought' to life." There are other complaints about the military po licy of the commander of the department. We are not in a poSitien to understand them, but we suppose that they receive point from the recent massacre at Lawrence. We agree 'with the members of the Convention; that the massacre of QualarnEr. deserves strict inVestigaticin, and if it can be shown that the general commanding the Departinent of Missouri was careless and derelict, he should be pimished. We are afraid, however, that this sad affair is not the real , complaint of the Convention, but a pretext by which it seeks to stimulate the minds of the people to distrust the Administration. With thisevery grievance of the Mis souri Emancipationists falls ; and the only object that brought them together seems to have been the desire to obtain the election .of two of their friends to the United States Senate. We trust that the gentlemen in -this movement who have the good of the Union at heart, and desire to see freedom triumph in its own good time, will throw their influence against any more such Con ventions. No good can come from them. They serve the demagogue and gratify the enthusiast, but give pain to the sincere and patient friends of liberty everywhere. The cause is in the tight hands. It was never brighter. Let us, therefore, be patient and wait. Does the Democracy Mean Disunion? If it does not, it is the m9st unfortunate party in the world, for it then presents a most humiliating spectacle of ignorance, doing all in its power to achieve disunion without understanding its own efforts. We acquit at once the mass of the Democracy of any intention to divide the country, but the leaders of the Democracy we hold innocent of this disreputable ignorance of their fol lowers, and find guilty of a more di;graZe ful intelligence. Thousands of men will vote a disloyal ticket in October, who fondly believe that they are upholding men and principles essential to the preservation of the Union. Their leaders.deceive them fla grantly, appealing to their worst prejudices I. . and passions, anti persuading them that the nation is to be saved by opposing the Go vernment, and the rebellion ended by inter fering with the war. As Democratic leaders decree, the Democratic party acts; and therefore, when we ask if the Democracy means. disunion, we ask if it is meant by GEORGE W. WOODIVAND and VALLANDIG:. 11A11, for these men are the Democracy, being to their party as the brain is to the body. - Asking this important question, we shall . not be content with any irresponsible an swer. These gentlemen, even against their own wills, shall reply to us. They cannot escape by evasion ; like Falstaff, when questioned by the chief justice, they cannot elude the difficulty by pretending a sudden deafness. They must answer, and Mr. Vivi,- LAlrmonAm, Democratic candidate for the Governorship of Ohio, shall be the first to convict the Democracy: of treasonable pur pose.' Take a chair, Mr. V., and inform the people of your occupation on the 7th day of February, 1861. If your . memory is weak, we will refresh it by this file of the VongresBional Globe, inwhich your record as a mis-representative, of a loyal State, is written for general examination. On that day, you had the audacity to rise in your seat, and propose to the House—to which your 'presence was certainly not an honor— . an elaborate plan for the division of the Union into four parts. Youembodied them in formal resolutions, the first section of which was entitled—" The United States are divided into four parts." You also announced it to be your inten - den to speak in .support of.this disloyal.plan - at the earliest, opportunity,.bUt we ¬ think it necessary to inquire if your inten tion was ever fulfilled.. It is enough that you did, - at a time when the South was, with all its energy, preparing for rebellion, advo cate disunion on the floor of Congress, and, coolly invite all your brother Representatives to help you to destroy the Republic. This is enough 'disgrace even for a disloyal politi cian.ln" mercy, we spare you any further exposure ; your subsequent career is well known.;_how, banished for disloyalty, you made a tour of the South ; how you escaped imprisonment there.because of your known enmity to the Union ;'`how the rebel papers :aid your election would be a trittpipli for the rebellion ; and how you are now the can didate of a disloyal party, opposed by all patriotic Democrats, and enthusiastically supported by all the renegades of the North. We think you, Mr. VALLANDIGRAM, have answered us very emphatically, and, if you "please, you may give your chair to -- your honorable colleague, Mr. Justice WOOD. WARD. You may go, Mr. VALLA.NDIGTIAM we are obliged to you for your confessions. Does GEORGE W. Woonwniin mean dis nnion ? He also shall have the privilege of -answering a question which so deeply affects his reputation as a. good. citizen, and his chances as a party candidate. What then, Mr: Justice WOODWARD, were-you about on the evening of. December 13th, 1800 ? Making a speech ? So we understood ; 'and at a time When it was imperatively de manded of every man to speak earnestly for the preservation of the Union, and with all his energy against the principle of sece s sion, and the pnrpose of the impending re hellion. We remember well the' time, and we have read your speech. But, in it, alas ! we find no earnest spirit of patriotism; -but, instead, a. spirit of disloyalty, degrading flat tery of Southern institutions, and justifica tion of the principle of rebellion. You said then, to the people - of Philadelphia, Mr. WOODWARD : "It seems to, me that there must be a time when slaveholders may fall back on their natural rights, and employ, in defence of their slave property, whatever means of protection they possess or can com mand." How speedily, sir, were your prin ciples acted upon by the slaveholders, whom you so much admired ! Why, if they had interpreted your words as advice, they could not have better profited by their meaning. The pretext for the rebellion was " the de fence of slave property," and, as you sug gested, in four months from the time you spoke, the slaveholders did employ for its defence "whatever means of protection" 'they posiessed. Believing they could best insure the extension of slavery by destroy ing the Republic, they raised armies and began inveterate. war. - Nor was it without profound gratification that the slaveholders read those words of yours which-justified - their action ; for it was the belief that such teachings would create a sympathy with the rebellion in the North that tempted them to sin. It is not strange, either, that you should call rebellion for the protection of slavery a natural right, believing, as you did then, and do now, that "slavery is an_ incalculable blessing.'? HaVe you an swered us yet, Judge WOODWARD ? No, not. quite. When patriots declared that the Republic should not .be destroyed, that treason should be .punished, and that the United States was pledged to prevent secession, what did you say ? " This was what I, GEORGE W. WOODWARD, then ad vised, and never since have I counselled otherwise. It is said, Let the South go peaceably.' I say, let her go peaceably." Ah ! Mr. Justice WOODWARD, did you thus counsel dishonor and disusion ? We are answered now. You do mean disunion. You have meant disunion ever since the. beginning of the war. Your election would be a disunion triumph, -and all Union men must oppose it for the honor of the State, for the safety of the country. We have no further questions, Mr. Justice WoonwAun, and you may join your friend. Mr. VAL LAISTIGRA.3I is waiting for you. A Colored Regiment in Battle. The, President, with characteristic direct ness and bluntness, has said to those who disapprove of his policy in organizing colored troops : " You say that you will not fight to free negroes. Some of them seem to be willing to fight for you." This is not so much a rebuke to those to whom he espe-, cially addressed his letter as to those who oppose all his - measures with inveterate ha tred: These are the men who at first de clared that negroes were naturally cowards, who would run from the field at the first sight of the enemy, and who, now that that slander has been refuted, supply its place with sneers, and wicked laughter, and 'abuse. We find these gentlemen oppo sing* the draft ; they are evidently re solved that the Government shall have no more white soldiers. Well, then, can they complain that it is determined to have black soldiers ? The country must have defend ers, and if a black man can handle a mus ket and help to win a victory, we welcome him to our ranks.' Nor does the white sol dier object to share in just propbrtion the dangers and the)aon.orsUf battle with these patriotic men, who have their own interest in the Preservation of the Republic, and are willing to risk their lives in its defence. The negro regiments, by hard fighting, have won the respect and confidence of the coun try.. They have not had much opportunity, but what chances for achieving glory have been granted they have nobly used... General BLUNT, in his official report of the battle of Honey Springs, Arkansas, states that the Ist Kansas (colored) Regi ment fought with. a coolness and bravery never surpassed. In the hottest of the fight they met the Texan troops, twice their num ber, and routed them completely. The 20th Texan Regiment went into battle with three hundred men. It met the negroes and left the field with sixty. Colored soldiers do not fight better than white men, but they fight better than rebellious Texans. New York. The country will applaud the -action- of the New York Republican Convention, as sembled in Syracuse on Wednesday. New York is in such a deplorable condition under the rule of SEIpIOUR, that the good name of its people deinanded an expression -of opinion that could . not be npsunderstood. The evils from which New York is suffer- - were caused by the want - of wisdom on the part of our friends in that State in 1862. Disaffection among our friends enabled SEYMOUR to triumph, although it was well known at the time that the heart of New York was true to the Union. Thousands who were warmly devoted to the war and the Administmtion, were prevented from Manifesting their - devotion by . the action of the Convention, and apathy brought de feat, when we should have succeeded. The Syracuse Convention, however, took wisdom- into its councils, and, as a re sult, the people of New York have a - platform which none can refuse, and a ticket that contains all the elements of loyalty. Republicans and War Democrats are placed side by side, and no test is'made but that of devotion to the Government. General JOHN COCHRANE is the successor of DANIEL S. DICKINSON, and the nominee, for Attorney. General. Mr. OLCUTT, the nominee-for Controller, has a financial re putation beyond New York, and, according to the Tribune, "has often been named as a proper man for the Secretary of the Trea sury at Washington." The other men on the ticket are all mentioned with words of eulogy, and every indication leads us to hope fora brilliant and successful campaign. The resolutions are comprehensive and just, and contain principles that no one can object to endorse. Governor SEirmoun is denounced. for his criminal subserviency to the mob in New York and the traitors in the Seuth. In addition to this, the great principle is enunciated that, in this time of war and danger all political differences should be laid aside to give the Government a gene rous support. With this as their cardinal - doctrine, the loyal men of New York may go into their campaign confident of victory. We. honor them for the spirit they have shown, and commend it to our loyal, friends everywhere. - Hort. EDWARD EVERETT has written a letter to the Union Convention at Spring field, Illinois, urging the duty of all loyal men to aid in the vigorous prosdcution of the war for the great objects of suppressing the rebellion and restoring a permanent peace. The brief telegraphic synopsis does not give any idea of the.forcible and beautiful rheto ric in whiCh Mr. EVERETT has doubtless embodied this advice, but it tells tir, the great fact that his heart and mind are true to the cause of the Republic. Few men can so clearly explain, so eloquently advo cate the principles upon which our national integrity, depends, but all men - can love them -with •equal ardor, and defend them with as resolute a purpose. General Grant at Memphis. The reception of General GRANT at Mem phis is one of the . most gratifying incidents of the war. It was not merely the compli- Ment to a good man and a successful Gene ral; for the count - x. 3, ha's anticipated Mein phis in its encomiums upon the distinguished commander of the Southwestern Army. It was the tribute of a Southern city to one who has been among the truest friends of the South. To Memphis General GRANT was not a Federal commander, nor the hero of many battles. He was its liberator. He broke the shackles of Southern power, and freed the people from a thraldom, and when he was welcomed by its citizens with many demonstrations of enthusiasm and joy,, we look upon this ovation as an evidence of the true feeling of the Southern people. Under the compulsion of the conscript officer, and perhaps in obedience to a feeling of State and local pride, we have seen the people of the South arrayed against - ua as armies, and sustaining by' - their blood and valor the cause of the rebellion. Beneath this, how ever, the true 'feeling of love for the. Union exists, and we see it exhibited whenever it can be done without exciting massacre and imprisonment. Another evidenee of What the people really think when released from the thraldom of the rebels was seen in the school-girls' ovation to General BArirts. Every day we are more and more convinced that the rebellion is. not the work of the Southern people; but of the bold men who possess the lands and slaves of the Southern States, ,and use the people very much as the feudal lords of 'early England used their swineherds and villeins. Such men as GRANT and BANKS are their friends and liberators. They carry the sword of a Re public, and their success is the triumph of republicanism: In every phase of this great question we find the issue slavery and freedom—aristoc,racy and democracy—free labor and slave labor. Our triumph is the triumph of justice, and the people every where welcome it as such. In the Secret? The policy of England, with respect' to Mexico and the United States, could readily and reasonably be ascertained if some little bird would whisper the plain truth to- us about one thing—was PALMERSTON in the secret of N'Aroixoß's offering the Iniperial Crown of Mexico to the Archduke MAxl--- BLILIAN, of Austria, in - October, 1861, seve ral weeks before' one Frenchi English, or Spanish soldier was deported to Vera Cruz, as part of the expedition against MeXico ? It is clear from what occurred that the Spanish commander, - General PRIM - , was not in the. secret, for as soon as ever the conviction - of NAroT,RoN„ double-dealing and interested ultimate motives dawned upon his mind, this honest soldier withdrew the Spanish contingent from Mexico. Did NAPOLEON take PALMERSTON into his con fidence, or, to use a very plain but expres sive phrase, was PALMERSTON kept in the dark, and therefore sold? There are some family (Cobourg) reasons why Queen VICTORIA might desire to see MAxminaAß plackd upon a throne, but, if NAPOLEON really tricked his friend PALMERSTON—and it looks as if he has done so—English policy may become anti-French-and anti-Mexican. Anti-IVapoleonism. There is no freedom of the press in France. Yet French opinion makes itself heard.. The preis is comparatively gee in Belgium,' and there is a manufactory of anti-Napoleon publications in Brussels. Now and then; N.ZPOLEON makes a coin . - plaint to . LEOPOLD of, the license of Bel gian printers, and then follows a momen tary pause ; but this only for a time, and the cry against "the brigand," as the French Emperor is politely called, is fiercely renewed. The refugees, who carry on this trade of depieciatiOn, 'attack not only NAeoLmoic himself, but all his family. There was lately published at Biussels - a little book professing to recount, with disgustingly minute particulars, the "crimes and amours" of the Bonaparte fkmily, commencing with Madame.- Mere, and ending with NAroixor - and Scandals, which had burnt out sixty years ago, .because their very grossness made them impossible and incredible, are raked up and - revived in this publication, vast numbers of which are smuggled into France: This is .a -mean, low, and unmanly, way of op posing the present chief magistrate of France: 7 -such antagonism has . a tendency to excite a sympathy for him. Much 'more dangerous to him is another pamph - let, also from- .the Brussels factory, en titled "The . Civil List of Napoleon compared with that -of Louis Philippe." Theparticulars of this, which are correctly. stated, give the folloWing results : that Louis PHILIPPE'S civil list was 12,000,000 francs, while that of NAPOLEON 111. amounts to 25,000,000; that LOUIS PHILIPPE'S per sonal expenses were 160,000 francs, while those of NAPOLEON are 320, - 000 francs a yeaf; and that the aids-de-camp of Louis PnimirrE received 360,000 francs ; while those of NAPOLEON are paid 720,000- francs • per annum. -The author, whose arithme tical education certainly was not neglected, calculates that the cost of an Emperor to France is 60 000 000 francs a year, 5,000,000 francs a month, 1,250,000 francs a week, (it actually is 1,153,845, there being fifty weeks in the year,) 164,383 francs a day, and 6,489 francs, an hour. This minute dis section may appear abSurd, but the argu ment most likely to sink into the mind of a discontented French tax-payer is that the Emperor receives such immense payment as the above out of poor men:s earnings. ME ARGUMENTS of the World would be irrefutable, if its statements were - true. No other journal has such a talent for assuming falsehoods to be a,dmitted facts. Criticising the President's letter it says : " Mr. Iffx copx tells us, in effect, that all our immense expenditures and sacrifices have not yet made any impression on the rebellion." It speaks _of "his confession that all our victories are fruitless," and thus find's' opportunity for accusing him of "persisting;in a. policy which produces_ nothing but:fruitless slaughter." Isnot this an excellent argument . ? But, unluckily, it proves a falsehood by affirming one. President LINCOLN las made no such con fession. His letter distinctly states, "in effect," that our victories have been fruitful. He thinks that peace_ is brought nearer by the achievements of our armies, and congra tulates' the country that the sacrifices of loyal men have - not been in vain. When will the World cease to contradict Truth to her face ? What effrontery it must possess to print this false synopsis and the Presi dent's letter on thesame day If the World can get its readers to believe that the moon is made of cheese, it will have no trouble in convincing them that its light is the phos phorescence. of decay: ' , Loyalty , ' means devotion to our country and to her laws, and can never -be perverted to mean an al legiance to, partisan measures, or a partisan-Admi nistration. And it cannot justly be called unpatri otic to expose the malfeasance of our Government agents, even though it may and does disgrace our country in the eyes of other nations.—Borion Cour. Granted. If loyalty means " devotion to our country- and her laws," why do such loyalists as the Courier denounce conscrip tion, the indemnity bill, the confiscation act, and, indeed, every law that really means to take away the life of the rebellion ? These are not " partisan measures," but the solenni acts of an American Congress, and sacredly laws of the land. Tux Boston Courier "reserves comment upon the . President's letter to another day." A. sensible reservation which exposes BEN FEANicrArr's absurd advice "never to put off anything till to-morrow." Pro crastination is a great virtue as thus prac tised by the Courier. NBW CHESTNIIT•STBEBT THBATRE.—Mr. Edwin . Booth's benefit to-night will doubtless be well at tended, for it will be his last - appearance, and the bill is excellent. Mr. Booth will appear as Bertuccia, in the" Fool's Revenge," and in "Buy Blau." Vie. tor Hugo's drama, by the way, was begun on the 4th of July, and finished on the 11th of August, 1837, its composition occupying more time than any of his other plays. It was produced on the opening night of a new theatre, and `unlike " Hernani," and others of his - works, met with no oppneition. At that time, Alexander Dumas, Victor Hugo and their companions in literature, were bittegy nounced as innovators. The years have taught the world that their originality was not lawless. THE PRESS.-PrEILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPT 4, 1863. MR TnomAs CARLYLE believes that our present war is merely a struggle between Peter of the North and Paul of the South, concerning an ordinary question of labor— a resort to arms to solve a simple probleni in political economy, which might have been settled by any village debating club. Mr. Justice WOODWARD entertains much the same opinion ; and his party organs arc printing Mr. CARLYLE'S latest squib as an argument in favor of his election. Actu ally, so far as their sentiments concerning the present war, .and their sympathies with the American people, are concerned, there is very little difference between Mr. CAn- Lyr,E,.. the magazinist , and Mr. Justice WoonwAnn, the office-hunter. The one spreads his ignorance, and prejudice to the world in inscrutable hliads. The other, not having the ingenuity to write 'Wads in mice, makes disloyal speeches that are quite as great a nuisance. w/vsixiNciYx•pri. Special Despatches to The Press. WAsaiNoTon, September 3, 1863 Expedition up the ito.ppahanneck. The expedition sent up the Rappahannock, to" re capture the gunboats Satellite and Reliance, has returned, being unable, in consequence of low water, to get higher up than Tappahannock. One of the seamen of the Satellite arrived here to day, having Made his escape while being marched to Richmond. He represents that an expedition numbering between four and five hundred rebels, consisting in part of the same party who captured the two boats, left the neighborhood of Port Royal on Tuesday, for the Po tomac, for the purpose of capturing some of our vessel?. A party of cavalry is with them, which has been seen lately about Mathias' Point and other points on the river. The Kansas Trust Lands. The Interior Department has refused all the, bids for the sale of the Kansas trust lands, and ordered new bids, which are to be made on or before the 16th of October next. Flax and Hemp as Substitutes for Cotton. The late Congrees having, apprgpriated .$20,000 to be expended in testing the practicabilitY of the introduction of flax and hemp an substitutes for cot ton, commissioners have been appointed by - the Commissioner of 'Agriculture to consider the sub ject, viz: lion. J. K. DIOICEFLEAD, of Pittsburg, Pa., Dr. Sows A. WARDER, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and W. M. BALLET, of Providence, R. 1., who began their sessions tins morning. The President's Letter. The premature publication of the President's let. ter occasions much surprise. This was certainly not through the instrumentality of its author, The frigate Sabine left New London on Tuesday for the coast of New England, to enable the fisher men who have so long desired to enter the naval service to do so on board that noble vessel. It is understood that, by an arrangement with thg . Government and the Almaden Mining Company of California, the Quicksilver Mining Company took possession of the mines on theist instant. Appointment. PEMPERTON B. LOCKE, of Missouri, has been al) )ointed Associate Justice of Nevada Territory. No Exchange of. Prisoner.s. It is believed to be quite impossible to arrange a new cartel for the exchange of prisoners. The rebels decline to =eke any exchange of the negio troops, arid there the matter ends. This Government does not intend to change in the least in that respect, and general orders 252, issued by the President Slily 31, protecting those troops, will be carried out to the letter. General Meredith reports that he has not approximated any conclusion in the matter. As regards the retaliation question, General Lee and Captain-Winder are in close confinement still, our authorities never having received any notice of Capta. Sawyer and Flynn 'being placed on a level with other prisoners of war. The same is the case with Morgan, in Ohio. He will be released when the rebel Commissioner noti fies Gem Meredith that Col„Streight and hisofficers are released, in Alabama, as reported.—New York Commercial. !Defeat of the Navajo-Indians.

BOSTON, Sept. 3.—The correspondent of the Tra veller, under date of New Orleans, August 23, refutes the repeated assertions of the rebel papers, that the soldiers of General Banks , army were dying of yel low fever.

The proposition is understood to be that the banks of this city should lend the Government thirty-five millions of dollars. This sum Mr. Chase is to draw for during the next two or three months, as required. The banks'of Boston and Philadelphia are to be asked for an additional fifteen millions. The whole fifty millions is to be repaid in October or Drovem ber, in new interestbearing treasury notes, which are to bear five per cent interest . and to be a legal tender.

Special Despatch to The Press.) WASHINCITON, Sept. ; 1863 The expedition under Gen. Kilpatrick, sent out a few day e since, to recapture, in conjunction with the navy, the gunboats Satellite and Reliance, which recently tell into the hands of the rebel's, was, so far as the cavalry is concerned, successful. Qn Tuesday evening, Gen Kilpatrick arrived on this side of the river, at Port Conway, and brilliantly dashed upon the enemy's pickets under Col. Low. The rebels did- not even make a show of resistance, but rushed into a number of flatboats, in the wild est confusion, and landed safely on the opposite bank. If they had made a show of fight, they would moat likely have been captured. ' - After the escape of the enemy, General Kilpatrick waited two hours for the co-operation of the navy, which is understood to have been agreed upon. The vessels did not arrive, and General Kilpatrick ordered a battery to open tire upon the gunboats Reliance and Satellite. This was done at the distance of six hundred and fifty yards. The enemy immediately abandoned the gunboats, very fortunately for themselves, for only a few mo ments elapsed before the Satellite was in a oinking condition, and the Reliance rendered useless. Both boats were completely riddled by shot and shell. The force under Kilpatrick consisted entirely of cavalry and two batteries of artillery. The Satel lite is sunk, and the Reliance so completely disabled as to be beyond hope of being repaired by the rebels. BOSTON. Funeral of Late Mayor Collarnore—Edward Everett on the Prosecution of the War. 136sTolt, Sept 3.—The funeral of George W. Col lamore, the late Mayor of Lawrence, Kansas, took place today. There was a large attendance, in eluding Gov. Andrew and other prominent citizens. The Hon. Edward Everett wrote a letter to the Springfield (Illinois) mass meeting, which was read to-day. It reiterated the patriotic sentiments he has always advocated, and recommended a complete laying aeide of all partisan feeling, and a union for the attainment of the object which all approve— viz : the• vigorous prosecution of the war for the suppression of the rebellion; the prostration of the leadem'and the return of peace and the restoration of, the Union. The Election in San Francisco. Saw FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.—No trade doing to-day. The stores and shops. are generally closed, the citi zens all attending the election. The .vote of the city up. to 4 P. M. is unprecedentedly large. The majority for the. Union State ticket will be about 7,000. The People's Union Legislative ticket will probably be elected by 1,000 majority. Telegraphic returns from Sacramento, Nevada, Stockton, San Jose, and Marysville counties, up to noon, estimate the majority in those precincts for the TJnion State ticicet as nearly two to one.

The Union Mass Meeting at Springfield, SritiROPIELD, 111., Sept: 3.—The Union mass meeting assembled here to-day was an immense de inonstration. The President's letter was read and received with demonstrations of approval, Resolutions were adopted, returning thanks to the volunteers that have nobly rallied to their country's standard in the hour of her trouble, and declaring that in view of the extraordinary difficulties and embarrassments which have environed the National and State affairs during the present atrocious rebel lion, the efforts of the constituted authorities of the National and State Governments commanded the highest respect for the zeal, ability, and fidelity by which they have been marked. Speeches were made by Governor Yates, Senators Doolittle and Trumbull, Generals McClemand, Oglesby, and. Lane, of Indiana, and other distin guished gentlemen. The Murder Near Evansville, Indiana. An Evansville, Ind., despatch to the Cincinnati Gazette gives the following particulars of the recent inhuman murder near that place A most outrageous murder was committed about live miles from this city, in German township, on Saturday last. At about ten o'clock A. M., two men, dressed as soldiers, but supposed to have been disguised, entered the house of a German named Herke and- demanded money of four children who had been left at home, their mother being in this city at the time with marketing,and their father some distance from the house cutting a tobacco pole. The murderers beat the children with clubs, leaving them all, as they supposed, dead. They then pro ceeded to the father, whom they struck with the axe he was using, nearly severing his head from his shoulders ' killrug,him instantly. The wife of Herke arrived at home at eleven o'clock, where she found her dear huFband and four children weltering in their blond. The screams of the poor frantic.wife and mother 'aroused the neighbors, who; upon enter ing, the house, found two of the children still living ' one being able to speak a few words. They stated that the villians were dressed in soldiers' clothes, and that they demanded money. At last accounts but one of four children was expected to recover, two having died and no hopes for the other living but for a few hours. Sheriff . Wolllin and deputies were promptly on the ground. The whole country around-is being scoured by the (Alders and _citikens. Two'soldiers, named Grow and Roberts, of the 24th and^ 68th Indiana Regiments, were ar rested in one of the hospitals in this city. They adniit of having-been within half a mile of the scene that morning, but there seems to be no clear evi dence as to their guilt. It is not thought that the perpetrators of this horrible deed were soldiers; but the uniform of soldiers was adopted as a die. guise only. Herke was a-poor man, had- no money, nor enemies known to his neighbors, and what could have induced any human being to commit such a deed can only be conjectured. -N. B.—We learn from Deputy Sheriff Earley to night that Wolfiin and himself took the two soldiers out this afternoon to the scene of the murder, but could obtain no new evidence as to their guilt. There was an immense crowd of excited people present, and, as the officers started back to the city with the prisoners, the crowd followed, with threats, and showed a disposition to take the prisoners by force and hang them, but, by the cool determination of the officers, they were checked, and the prisoners safely lodged in jail again.

In a letter to a great Union meeting in Ohio, Hon. Edward Everett says, with eloquent patriot ism: "I can not, however, be indifferent to the result of your impending election.. Whatever collateral issues may be pressed upon the public mind, the real issue is whether the right of secession shall be acknowledged, and our armies recalled from the States in rebellion ; one-half the soil of the United States surrendered to them ; the entrance of Cheaa peake Bay, the navigation of the Gulf of 'Mexico, the mouth of the Mississippi given up, not merely to a foreign Confederacy, but to the individual for eign States of which it is compased, and to the Eu ropean Powers with whom they may, any one of them, choose to enter into alliance ,• or whether the war shall continue to be prosecuted with the ut most vigor, in order, at the earliest possible moment, to mush this most causeless and unprovoked at tempt to lay the dishonored and powerless frag ments of our late most prosperous and favored country at the feet of foreign Powers ; and this for the sake of gratiffing the wretched lust for office on the part of a few ambitious men in the slave holding States. Nothing but union of sentiment and action in the loyal States is now wanting to bring the struggle to an auspicious clues ; and any result of your election, which- would weaken the arm of the General: Government, when a decisive blow is about to be struck, would be a public cala mity." THE GENERAL HOSPITAL AT GETTYSBURG.—We have, for the first time, made a visit .to .the camp near our town, selected as the site of our. General Hospital, spending several hours there, with a view to inform ourselves of its arrangements, and other matters (fermented with the order and comfort Of the many wounded and suffering .there. - -We traversed the large camp, spending - - a little - time in tents, and cannot refrain from expressing our high grati fication with all that came before our vision. The streets are broad, cleared of every decayed vegetable, almost hourly swept and in order, with nothing to generate disease, or detract from the comfort of the sick and wounded, the tents large, and airy, the fresh, cooling breeze from the mountains fanning - and ref. eahiug the sufferers, all their wants supplied, and kind, cheering words never absent, from the good Samaritans around.

He served a term as judge of the Supreme Court of his State, and was remarkable for the profound nature and extent of his judicial learning.. In politics he was of the Douglas school of the Democracy, and was at one time the favorite of a large though not controlling section of the Illinois Democracy for the position of United States Senator.

A .LPF.MAND AND ITS RDASON --AA a meeting in Leavenworth, Kansas, on the- 28th ult., resolutions were adopted, demanding the removal of Gen. Soho• field from the Department of Missouri, assigning as a reason for the demand, that "under his adminis tration, Kansas has lost more peaceable citizens by cold•bloded butcheries, than were killed in Kansas regiments at Wilson's Creek, Cane Hill; and Prairie Grove." Horseni zx WAsaiwo•rort.--A. Washington letter writer says the demand for places to live in Wash ington is treble the supply already, and when Con gress meets it will be as difficult to accommodate all . the people as it used to be en inauguration days. Such a thing as a vacant house is unheard of. Or dinary houses on the back streets, that once rented for WO and $2OO per annum, are now commanding dduble that amount, and the tenant often gives a premium of-a hundred dollars or so for the privi lege of paying such a rent. It is estimated that irom five hundred to a thousand vacant houses are needed at this moment. Only the rich can keep house. - WHITE OFFICERS 01 0 BLACK BIEGIMENTS.—The Washington Republican says: "The rebel-authori ties have expressed a willingness to exchange all prisoners except white officers of black regiments.

To the Editor of The Press: Srr.: Immediately after the battle of Gettysburg, the thought occurred to me that there could be no more fitting and expressive memorial of the heroic valor and signal triumphs of our army, on the first, second, and third'days of July, 1863, than the battle field itself, with its natural and artificial defences, preserved and perpetuated in the exact form and condition they presented during the battle. Acting at once upon this idea, I commenced nego tiations, and have secured the purchase of some of the most striking and interesting portions of the battleground, embracing among these the heights of Cemetery Hill, on the centre, which resisted the fiercest assaults of the enemy; the granite spur of Round Top, on the left, with its massive rocks and wonderful stone defences, constructed by the Penn sylvania Reserves; and the timber breastworks, on the right, extending for a mile upon the wooded heights of. Wolf Hill, whose trees exhibit the fear ful effects of our musketry fire. In pursuance of the original purpose, I now pro pose . to the patriotic citizens _of Pennsylvania to unite with me in the tenure of the sacred ground of this battle-field. In order that all may participate who will, at its actual cost, th,e, amount of a single share will be limited to ten dollars. Committees may be named in the cities and large towns, throughout the State, to whom reference and application can be made., I respectfully submit the subject to your conside ration, and, should it meet the approval of your judgment, invite your active co-operation and influ ence, with your subscription.to the battle field fund:- It is in contemplation to procure an act of incor poration from the Legislature, granting powers si milar to those of a Monument Association. It is not designed to limit the number of shares whieh any ci tizen may • ub scribe, as the more generous the fund the more liberal the bounds of this sacred, patrimo ny which it is proposed to perpetuate. Very respectfully, etc., In reply to a Democratic committee of Ohio, Gen. Ilosecrans has written the following interesting letter: . . . . me. You speak. in the name of the Democratic pasty of my native State—a party with which I have always voted. I must, therefore, seize 'a few moments of leisure to reply. • let. The State of Ohio says, through her Legisla. ture, she wishes her citizens temporarily absent from home, serving in the army, to have a voice in the coming State elections. My ears are attentive to her voice, and my heart responds to her wishes. If any citizens should have a - voice in those elec tions, it surely ought tete those brave and energetic men, the life-blood of the State, who have stepped forth from home and friends, to offer their lives for the defence of our Government, our National ex istence and the cause of Human Freedom, all in volvedin this contest. 2d. No authority of mine will be used, in any way, to prevent the free and unbiased exercise of that right. 3d. It would be very inconvenient and incompati ble with the interests of the service to allow the stump-orators and canvassers of the rival tickets to come into this army and ply their vocation. lib:As to newspapers, pamphlets, and other pub lications, none have been, or will be, excluded on the ground of party politics. But I do not belong to that sentimental class who weakly and timidly allow brawling license to stab true liberty. Hence, when any publication appears among us so licen tious, lying, or traitorous as to endanger the morali ty or be likely to impair the spirit and vigor of this army, I feel bound by reason, justice, and duty to my country to use my authority to prevent its circu lation. sth.• Any action under color of my authority in consistent with these principles is without war rant, and, on complaint and adequate evidence, will be redressed. Nearly two years since one Sabin Hough, of thilt city, who sported - before his name the title of " Rev.," but who could find no congregation to lis ten to his theology . , engaged in the publication of a newspaper in the interest of the rebellion; and im mediately wrote to all the leading, rebel sympathi zers of the country for their aid and sympathy. Among the rest Mr. Yallandighaut was called upon, and responded on several occasions. Soon afterward Mr. Hough was arrested on a charge of treason, but was discharged ; but some of his correspondence, which was read on the trial, was published at the time.

Serfrin Hough REEEL RS TLE.A_TE OF THE COPPERHEADS.—The Richmond - Dispatch evidently understands our North ern [Copperheads, thoroughly. It says they want to resist the Lincoln despotism, but have not the courage: "The demonstrations of opposition to the Lin, coin Government in the Northern States are of a character appropriate to that country, and do not promise much success to those who are engaged in the agitation. The common people instinctively ask, 'lf you all agree with the Government that the re bellion must be crushed, why do you oppose the Go. vernmentt Why not give it men and money to do whateit is so earnestly striving to do?' The answer is most difficult, and can hardly satisfy the masses. We doubt not that a large portion of thoee in the opposition are playing their cards cun ningly—that they .are really anxious to stop the war; but knowing that an unconditional oppo sition to it would be so unpopular that they could not maintain it, they make;ther suppression of the rebellion one of the planks in their platform. This kind of political fraud is characteristic of the Yankee nation. Even Mr. Tallandigham, whom we do not impugn along with the common run of Northern politicians, has not been consistent. In Congress he refused to vote a dollar for the war, but still he has declared himself for a restora tion of the Union, either by negotiation or war. If he could not succeed by peaceable means he has said that he would employ arms, and would himself enter the field. While we doubt whether he would, if he controlled matters, make a very vigorous war, nevertheless the .moral weight of his position is against what all of them call the 'rebellion,' and, therefore, in favor of;war and Lincoln, who is car rying it en. Looking over the field of Northern politics, then, we see not how headway is likely to be made against the Washington despotism." CONSCRIPTION FROM AN ENGLISH POINT OP VIRW.—In May's Constitutional History of England is a brief discussion of conscription and impress ment, the latter being still allowable in England for the navy. Mr. May says : There is nothing incompatible with freedom in a conscription or forced levy of men for the defence of the country. It may be submitted to in the freest republic, like the payment of taxes.' The services of every subject may 'be required in such form as the State determines. But impressment is the arbi trary and capricious seizure of individuals from among the general body of the citizens. It differs from conscription as a particular confiscation differs from a general tax. A recent London journal, referring to the draft in this country, says : It is the very imbecility of weakness to pretend that, this exemption from forced service generally enjoyed "by Englishmen would extend to an emer gency like that which now prevails in the United Stales. Our great wars have been fought' out chiefly upon the sea, and our ships were manned .by a method compared with which the severest conscrip tion is merciful. We have had no necessity to employ the ballot to fill up tho ranks of our militia, nor has the bounty yet failed to recruit the ri nients on foreign service. act no statesman would renounce the power of resorting to the draft if the defence of the country required a larger force than could be raised without it ; and no lawyer would counsel resistance to the power as unconstitutional when its exercise had been sanctioned by Parlia ment. • Peblications Received.

This is the 233 d number of that cheap and judiciously selected set of popular works enti tled Harper'a Library. of Select Novels. The au thor excels in works of fiction, of a domestic charac ter, and excellent as 0 1 Olive Blake" was, we are disposed to place this new story somewhat above it. The characters of John Bromhead and his family, Bishop Lovgrove and the men of the Turret family, are masterly sketches. After the fashion of- the time, there is a murder, the trial of the wrong man, and a happy termination. This is a very good novel. Diemore's Railroad and Steam Navigation Guide for September.

"The New Gospel of Peace, according to Benja min." This little brochure, which bears the imprint of Sinclair Tousey, New York, is a satirical hit at- Iknjamin and Fernando Wood, and other notorie ties of no doubtful political character. It ig in the objectionable form of a parody on the Scriptures, and is very local in its allusions. However, it has created a sort of fur ore in New York, a city that de lights in small wit, and some few of its points are well put and intelligible, though the, idea remains that this is heavy joking. , Serx or CARTICTINGS, &o.—The early attention of purchasers is requested to the desirable assortment of Brussels, three-ply, ingrain, Venetian, list, cottage, and hemp carpets, &C,., to be peremptorily sold, by catalogue, on four months' credit, commencing this morning at precisely half past ten o'clock, by John B.

VESSEL SEIZED.—A vessel alleged to be in the contraband trade, with cargo on and ,- ready to start from this port, was seized at-Maiden street wharf by an officer of the Government, assisted by five men of the Second Division of police. For this work Lieut. Frank Hampton selected the best men of his force, who did their share of thework prompt ly and well. The captain and other officers were arrested and locked- up. The vessel was taken to the navy yard yesterday morning. The cargo is an assorted one, but how much contraband goods are on board Can only be ascertained upon an examine• FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last evening, a la boring man named James School, residing at No. 2144 Cuthbert street, and a little child, aged two years, that ho was leading by the hand, were both run over by railroad oars, near the Market-street bridge. They were both instantly killed. The man gled remains were taken to the late residence of the deceased, and the coroner was sent for to make an investigation. From the statements made, it seems the sad and shocking mishap was accidental. ARRIVAL OF WOUNDED SOLDIERS —.Wit ty-five wounded soldiers; arrived at 'Eleventh and Market streets about eleven o'clock last night, and were conveyed in the ambulances of the firemen to the Citizens' Union Hospital, at. Broad and Prime streets, from which place they will probably be lent to one of the army hospitals some, time to day, Gold was very much excited this morning, anti rose rapidly to 132 ; adverse rumors, shrewd opera tors, and the natural fears of some people, assisting the advance, which was well maintained until near the close, when it fell off to 130. There was a panic in stocks, for which there was no more reason than an absence of news and the - deprbseion of feeling caused by it. The New York banks are calling in their loans, thereby forcing some operators to sell out. Sudden contractions often give a great deal of trouble, anti always result in pecuniary loss to the borrower, sometimes creating unnecessary panics generally. The banks, in their eagerness to secure their loans, ought not to be so urgent, as a 9uiet, steady call from their customers would save that which a sudden and positive demand would place in jeopardy. Of course, the banks are well aware of this, but fear knows no lawgiver, Money is in greater demand, lenders are stiffer in their demands, and are choice in their securities, with rates a fraction higher. Government securities did not participate in the troubles of the day, but were firmly held at yester day's figures. The excitement at the Stock Board was very great, and an intense desire to aellWas manifest; buyers, however, were so timid that sales were confined chiefly to Reading, which opened before the board at 59,q, and before the close of the board it was freely offered at 57X. After the first board it rallied to 58; at the second further declining to at which figure it closed, after sales which monopolized moat of the time at the board.

It is always to us an agreeable duty to chronicle substantial improvements in our business and com- mercial centres. They are the tangible symbols; of life and growth, and therefore, as a general rule. U 0,353 21 the. healthy or unhealthy state of the business community can be accurately estimated from the number and character of improvements made from season to season by our bush:mos houses. In the Clothing DepartMent we have now to notice a very fine extension and improvement by the popularly known firm of Megan. Wanamaker & Brown, made ,in. their " Oak Hall" Clothing Bazaar, southeait corner of Market and Sixth greets. To effect this, they have incorporated is their own Establishment what was formerly two stores, on Sixth street, adjoining their corner on the south, their edifice as now arranged and appointed being one of the largest, handsomest, and moat commodious in Philadelphia. The appearance of the store .from the street is attractive and unique, being admirably lighted and thoroughly arranged for the comfort and convenience of customers. We can, however, probably, in no better way de scribe the effect and character of the improvement referred to ;than by briefly referring to its more pro" • minent details. Adv. Deo. Order and Oustomer Department, a spacious and beau tifully-arranged room, where fine garments are made to order, the system adopted being such as to _ insure the utmost efficiency and punctuality to the customee, in giving him the most elegantly. Made garment, from materials selected from a capital stock, at the shortest notice, and without the possi bility of disappointment as to the time promised for its delivery. We may mention that this department is under the charge and superintendence of Mr. C. Og den, brother to one of the largest clothiers in New York city—a member of the house of Devlin & Broadway. In addition to the fine display on this floor, in the clothing department, the Marketstreet section of the east side of the store is devoted to Gentlemen's _Furnishing Goods, Where small articles for gentlemen's wear, in every variety, may always be found in the best style. Messrs. W. &B. have added much to the completeness of their establish ment by introducing this new feature. Ascending an easy flight of stairs from the centre of the first floor, we reach the second story, where we find ourselves surrounded with endless stacks of fashionable fall and winter Pants and Vests, that may be counted literally by thousands. At the rear end of this floor is a neatly-arranged and well stocked room, employed exclusively as a Youths' Department, where Boys' Clothing of every descrip tion can be purchased - to the best advantage, as the proprietors have determined to constitute this one of their most important specialties. In the third story of the building are the Coat Rooms, where, judging from the immense quantities of these garments display - ed, men of all sizes, mea- A . surements, tastes, and circumstances, can be suited to a nicety; the light in this story, as in all others, being such as to enable" all who run to read" the exact character of the article they are purchasing. On reaching the fourth floor we have soared above the realms of barter and trade, and find ourselves in the serener heights, where the rudimentals of the entire business of the house are enacted with all the noiselessness, accuracy, and system of clockwork. The front section of this story is where all the clothe are received, thoroughly examined as to strength, durability, &c., and prepared for the cut ters, of whom a large number occupy the rear room on this floor. Here, too, all thework cut is given out to the four hundred hands and upwards em ployed by this firm, and received again when finish ed, and thoroughly examined before being assigned to the respective salesrooms below. On this floor, also, the hands receive their pay, the uniform rule of the house being to pay for all work done the in stant it i. 13 finished, thus avoiding the necessity for book accounts and saving the employees' time, thereby securing to this house at all times the choice the best hands in the city. There is an sir of neatness pervading the entire establishment that strikes us most favbrably, which, combined with the excellent system adopted, and the qualifications of the gentlemen engaged in the artistic department of the house, - together with the •. _ • . 3X 2.X .. 551 • • 2.5r.' ritsT BOARD. 200 Reading R. • 57A1 100 do slOwn:. 5731 100 do.. .... . sswn 27% ICO d0.....: - ..:522...573 100 do cash—. 571.4 20 do 57,q BOARDS 1 KO bble. 13.80 bus. 9.100 bus. 8.2Z0 bus.
