FLORENCE SEWING MACHINES
Can be seen at
No. 439 CHESTNUT STREET (se3ond floor).
where all persons interested,in setting Machines are in
vited to call and examine this wonderful Machine.
It bee been the ohiect of the FLORENCE SEWING
hrecuuiE COMPANY to supply a machine free from
the ohiectious attacheß to other first-class machines and
after the patient, untiring labor of ears and a liberal
expenditure of capital in securing the first mechanical
talent, their efforts have been crowned with success and
thew are now offering to the public the MOST PERFECT
SEWING: MAC DINE IN THE. WORLD. Among its
many advantages over all other machines, may be mom
tinned
It makes four different stitches on one and the
same machine, each. stitch being perfect and alike on
both sides of the fabric.
2d. Chanotng from one kind of stitch, to another, as
well as the length nf the stitch, can readily be done while
the machine . is in motion.
3d. Retry stitch is perfect in itself, making the seam
secure and uniform, combining elasticity, str.ngth and
beauty.
4th. It low the reversible feed snottort, which enables
the operator to run the work to either the right or left,
or stay any art of the seam, or fasten the ends of seams
without turning the fabric or stopping the machine.
6th. It is the most rapid sewer in the world, making
five stitches to each revelation, and there is no other
machine which will do so large a range of work as the
FLORENCE.
6th. It does the heaviest or finest work with equal fa
cility, without change of tension or breaking of thread.
711. It hems, fells, binds, gathers, braids, quilts, and
gathers and sews On a waffle at the same time.
Bth. Its simplicity enables the most inexperienced to
operate it. Its motions are all positive, and there are
Po line springs to get out of order, and it is a2apted to
all kinds of cloth-work, from thick to thin, and is ta
mest noiseless.
Bub. The FLORENCE SEWING DI/WHINE is unequal

(Special Correspondence of The Press.l
ST. LOUIS, Mo., August 31, 18G3.
Our local sensation for the past week has been
the capture of General M. Jeff Thompson and his
advent in St. Louis. The sensation has not been
altogether "local, for Jeff has obtained a reputation
for audacity and rapidity of movement that extend
ed beyond the limits of Missouri. "Two years ago
he was a constant annoyance to our commanders at
Cairo, by the frequency of his attacks upon ... unarm.-
ed steamboats between that point and Cape &hale
dean. A signal would be given for a boat to land,
and after it was fairly tied up jeff would emerge
from the forest with a half hundred of hisfolloWers,
and lose no timeln getting on board. He would
take : whatever he wished and then magnanimously
release the boat, sending, his compliments :to the
commander at Cairo, with the earnest hope that his
health was good.. This was repeated so often that
it ceased to excite Much astonishment. Twenty- •
four hours after the occurrence an infantry expeai- .
tion would be sent ia.pursuit. Of course, none
of the expeditions ever succeeded in finding the-.
guerillas.
Before the a war General Thompson, universally:
known
known here as Jeff Thompson, was a practising
lawyer in St. Joseph, and was never famous for any
thing save his extraordinary drinking capacities.
When the troubles broke out, he went South, with
Price, and was put in charge of the guerilla opera•
tone in Southeast Missouri. He was, for a long
time, a wanderer through the South without a com
mand or a commission. Latterly General Price pro.
cured him authority to raise troops for the Confede
rate service in Arkansas and Missouri. Price sent
him to P. ocahontas, Ark., to establish a depot and
rallying point for e the remnant of the Missouri State
Guard. He hadjust arrived there, and was com
mencing operations when he was suddenly appre
hended by a small cavalry expedition sent out from
Pilot ,Knob by General Fisk. Jeff little dreariied
that any Federal troops were within fifty miles of
him when he was suddenly confronted and ar;
rested in his own quarters., ißis body guard, a
cavalry squad of come fifty men, was captured
at the same time. This morning General Thorap3On
was examined before the provost marshal. He said
he was without a commission at the time of his cap.'
ture, but was confident one was on the way for }lim a,
lle.was remanded to custody, and will probably re.
main an inmate of the Gratiotellreet prison for the
present.
News reaches us to-day that the pursuit of- Quart
trel has been abandoned for the present. A portion
of the 9th Kansas followed him through Johnson and
Jackson counties, and gave up the chase just after en
tering Cass county. It is no secret now, as the local
papers have given publicity to the fact, that we are
sending ei considerable force of troops to Kansas
City to enforce the recent order of General Ewing.
The telegraph has told you that General Ewing
ordered three counties on the western border of.
Missouri to be vacated, in return for the deatruction
of Lawrence. These are the counties that have
furnished.. the men for Quantrell's band, and have
- always been ready to afford them subsistence. They
are the same counties that showed such an earnest
nese, in the early troubles, in making Kansas a slave
State. Before the outbreak of the war, Jackson and
Johnson were the wealthiest counties in Western
Missouri. Their slave population wag not leas than
seven thousand. To-day, I doubt if there are two
hundred alavesalti both- counties.- After the kb of
September thee will not be fifty.
The 'Miele number of guerillas killed. since the
Lawrence massacre exceeds a hundred. It is the fryd
determination to root them out of existence at as
early a date as possible. Quantrel will be hunted
doein and his band destroyed, if it should be necea
sary to devastate Western Minouil. to accomplish,
the desired result: A mistaken policy of leniency
has prevailed in this department since the removal:,
of G en. Curtis and the appointment of Schofield.
I have good reason for saying that it is to continue
no longer. Conciliation of murderers is at an end.
What -I predicted in my last letter has proved
true in Eastern Arkansiee. Price has gathered all
the available force in the -State; and is determined
to make a vigorous,etand. His position at Ewa
Metric is one that he can 'defend witheasee - esriee'
daily with a force numbering from twenty to thirty
thousand men. At last accounts Kirby Smith had
actually joined Price with the troops lately in West
ern Louisiana. Kirby commands the department,
and Price has the district of Arkansas. Gen. D. M.
Frost commands the post at Little Rock.. We are
looking daily for information from Gen. Steele, but
the ""high official circles" are not anticipating that
he Will attack the enemy with his present force.
Ceetain movements now in progress are contraband.
We are not likely to run any great risk in our en
counter with Price. If we succeed completely, it
will be the last important battle west of the Mis
sissippi, and it is no time for childei play. .
The mass convention to assemble at Jefferson
City to-morrow, bids fair to be largely attended. It
is a Radical gathering, and is designed to represent
the views of the people of Missouri on the subject
of immediate emancipation. There is no general
election pending, and no special issue to be set forth
save the one above mentioned. Afull ticket for su
preme court judges will probably be nominated, just
to show some purpose in assembling. Every county
in the State is expected to be represented, but WM
doubtful if any delegates appear' from the most
southern counties. The emancipation policy is fast
gaining groUnd in Missouri, and if not now in a mg
jority the Radicals are certain to be so within six
months from the present time. Missouri is be
coming a free State almost as rapidly as an ordi
nance of immediate emancipation would be able to
make it.
From all parts of the State we learn of fresh gue
rilla outrages. So frequent are the stories that we
have almost ceased to regard them. A murder here,
a robbery theree and a house.burning in another
quarter, are the almost daily reports. The fatal
policy of conciliation of the guerillas is, to a great
extent, the cause of these troubles. The people are
understanding it, and are dealing summarily with
the offenders. lam informed by the superintendent
of a telegraph line that oneelay last week the wires
were downaand his repairers were sent out to put
them in order; They were accompanied by an escort
of a half dozen mounted men. Suddenly, they came
upon three men engaged in cutting the wires. With
out ceremony the offenders were hung up to the
nearest tree. Proceeding along the line, two more
guerillas were found engaged in the same depreda
tion upon the telegraph ; they were awarded the
same fate - as their ceimpanions. The line repairers
say this is not an extraordinary occurrence, and
speak of it with the utmost nonchalance. There are
many terrible scenes of warfare in Miesouri that
will never find a historian.
In Illinois the troubles are increasing. In the
past two weeks there have been five outbreaks in
Various parte of the State, the most eerious being
at Vandalise in Fayette county. A provost marshal
had arrested- a deserter, and while on his way to a
military post was' attacked by a squad of Copper
heads. The provost marshal and one of hie assist
ants were mortally wounded, but the prisoner was
not rescued. While in the town of Vandalia the
disloyalists of the neighborhood gathered, to the
number of three or four hundred, and demanded the
release of the deserter. They gave a certain time for
their demand to be complied - with, and threatened to
burn the town in case they were refused. To save
Vandalic from destruction the man was released.
Repeated threats have been made to burn various
towns in Illinois in which the loyal sentiment par
ticularly . predominates. Arms in large quantities
have been brought in in various ways, and there are
frequent meetings for drill, All these things bode
no good for the future. -
A grand Union mass convention is to be held at
Springfield, 111., cm the 3d of September, at which
an immense' attendance is expected. No special
object is announced, as there is no election of any
kind pending in the State. It is probable that the
question of the Presidential candidates will re
ceive some attention, and the movement .is With the
design of- uniting the-Republicans and. War•Demo
crate on some common platform. Some twenty
speakers of note will be present, among them Gene
rale MeOlernand, Logan, and Prentiss.
A very severe frost occurred throughout Central
Minim on three nights ofelast week. I learn that
more than half the corn crop of that section will be
lost. All melon, bean, and tomato vines were ut
terly killed, and many other products received a
severe nipping. The extent of the damage in not
fully ascertained. PIER IVIONT.

To the Editor of the New York Times:
Having just returned from tilb city of Richmond,
Virginia, where I' have been over one year, I wish
you would give the following publication in your
valuable journal:
I have, during my stay in Richmond, made the in
timate acquaintance of -J. 'Lane, captain, Confede
rate army son of General Joe Lane, of Oregon, who
is well - informed, and who assured me that the late
invasions of the North by Generals Lee and Morgan
were made upon the earnest and undoubted repre
sentations of that "true Southern man," Vallandig
ham, who assured President Jeff Davis and his
Cabinet that the North was ripe for a revolution,
and .only awaited the appearance of the Southern
army to proglaim for Jeff Davie, and forsake Lin
coln: Mr..Vallandigham , s representations werecor
roborated by the tone - of the majority of the North
ern -journals, who surely would not denounce the
Administration so boldly except by the assurance of
having the meson strongly in their favor.

Ed.,ivard Everett on the War.
Mr. Everett has written this letter to the Spring

130STosr, August 24, 1 . 863.
DxixMr Sin: I received, a few clays ago, your..
letter of the'l2th, inviting me to attend the grand
mass meeting of "The unconditional Union men of
the . Stateot Illinois ' to be held on the 3d of Septem
ber:at Springfield. It will not be in my power to at
tend the - Meeting, but its Objects, as explained by you,
have thy-Cordial sympathy.- - -
The elections soon to be held will be of more than
usual importance. They will throw light on the
great question, how; far-it is possible for a free go
vernment, constituted in its legislative and execu
tive branches by popular choice, to prosecute with
vigOp a year of considerable duration, and one which
entails heavy burdens on the community.-
As Jeyresentative. government is mainly carried
on by party organization, the great interests of the
cOuntry; - both- in peace and' war, - are too apt to be
come the arena, in which the opposite parties strive
for the - .-mastery.- - Qbestions in themselves of -se
condary importance t 6 the general welfare are often
contested 'with vehemence and -passion, and that by
men of ability and - .Patriotism, working themselves
up to the belief that they- are contending for mat
tete of vital. importance. Within my experience,
the - politics of the country have successively turned
upon - Jour or five questions, regarded at the time as -
• of lite greatest moment, but now utterly obsolete
-and'forgotten. . '
Tice unprofitable contests, while - they last, are
‹fie.4.s...parce of great embarrassment to the adminis
tratAn of the General Government for the time
,bcingS , svhiCh finds itself thwarted in all its measures,
;'however patriotic and , beneflcial their tendency, by
~indiftriminate opposition, aiming_ only at an elec
tioneering triumph. This is a very serious evil,
even . in time of peace, greatly enhancing the dim
. cultles and burdens of public life, and highly detri.
. tothe . public interests. -
,Intime of war, the evil,becomes one of tremen
&Us magnitude. The.questions that. then present
-:''Alle - Mitelves are naturally more important than ordi
nary: political issues in time of- peace, while every
.bloW struck at the measures of the Government,
th6figh designed only to effect a change of Adminis•
tration, really atibrds aid and comfort to the enemy. •
. This will be the case when the opposition to govern
- firiental measures is sincerely dictated by honest dif
.ferrince of opinion. - Nay, it will even be the case
- .when. the opposition . is -directed- against measures
. :,palpably mistaken, either on grounds of principle or
- r qipacy. - No Administration is free from error, and

' . .fie - Oely denounced, till the attention of the country,
inn:lead of being fixed on. the great and main clues.
;liens on which all: good 'patriots are agreed, is
-turned to side - issues of minor, and often factitious,
importance. . . •
• ..f`tin this way the Administration of the Govern-.
iOntis weakened and embarrassed, and the. vigor
,,;.ous prosecution of the war, which every patriotic .
citizen admits to-be the paramount object, is, in some
~M gree, - paralyzed. '
have Cdubted the policy of some measures of the
Administration, and have strongly disapproved
• others, but regarding the persons in power for the
tame being as the - constitutional agents of the pee
for carrying on. the Government—considering
vjie war which has been forced upon us by the ambi-
Ilona demagogues of the South as a question of
• -, Plational life or death—that to have the doctrine of
14leCession established at the mouth of the rebel can.
non, - is simply to consign the country to a future of
't eternal border war,
smite lay its dishonored frag
.-.:Mlente - at the feet of Foreign Powers—l cannot but
,
111111 k. it unpatriotic to attempt, for the sake of a
! ! - -party triumph, to make political capital out of the
--difficulties, or, if you please, the errors, unavoidably
'incident to the conduct of a war of such gigantic di
mensions. .
It lea pretty safe test, in cases of this kind, to
k how the views and measures of a party are re
garded by the common enemy. Applying this test
in the present case, nothing is more certain than
that the triumph at the approaching elections of any
party, organized and operating for the prostration
of the Administration, would be regarded with 'un•
mingled satisfaction by the leaders of the rebellion
and their sympathizers abroad. Indeed their last
hope is in our divisions.
Candor requires me to add, that if it is the duty of
the good citizen to abstain from factious opposition,
it is, in time of war, not less the duty of an adminis
tration, as well in civil as in military and naval
affair*, to assume a position wholly independent of
party. lam afraid it is impossible, in time of peace,
to'earry on representative government - except on a
party .basis. -During the existence of war, and espe
cially of a war which tasks to the utmost the ener
gies and resources of the country, party support, in
proportion as it is relied upon, is an element, not of
strength, but- of weakness.
If all good men and good patriots in the loyal
States, whether in or out of office—sacrificing when
necessary a little of the pride of personal feeling and
of party association—would eordiallrunite for the
attainment of the objects which they all approve,
viz. the vigorous' prosecution and successful termi
nation of the war, the next New Year's Day would
witness the prostration of the rebellion and its lead
ers, the return of peace, and the restoration of the
Union. •
With the- best wishes that the meeting at Spring
field may promote these great ends, I remain, dear
sir, very respectfully, your friend and fellow-citizen.

-7116 - Deetructien of Mr. Stevens' Furnace.
.Aeoriesiondent Of the Tribune writes from Lan
e _
caster
It has already been published-that the rebels on
their recent visit to Pennsylvania, destroyed the ex.'
tensive iron works in Adams county, owned by the
lion. Thaddeus Stevens. The manager of these
works has made. a report to Mr. Stevens of the
doings of the rebels, and the manner in which they
destreked his property.
Ie appears some personal enemy and rebel sympa
thizer took special care to inform Gen. Jenkins that
Mr. Stevens had three very fine saddle horses, Soon
after the enemy had encamped on the premises, the
rebel general demanded of the manager the delivery
of the horses,
which he described, and which the
manager had hidden away. After some parleying,
General Earley said if they horses were not brought
forward he would burn the entire works to the
ground. "Do I understand then," said the manager,
"that tithe horses described by you are delivered,
no further damage will be done to the establish
mentl" General Jenkins replied in the affirmative.
The horses were produced, and taken away by the
General. This occurred- on Tuesday s the 23d of
June. On Thursday the enemy again returned,
when General Earley took possession of the works
and told the manager that they were to be totally
destroyed. The manager remonstrated, and called
to mind the stipulation made on Tuesday with Gen.
Jenkins.
Gen. Earley replied that Stevens had been active
against the'-Confederacy and had done - the cause
more harm than any other man in Congress, and
they would therefore make an example of him. lie
regretted that he had not captured the proprietor
with the works. "No doubt you would give him a
berth in Libby - ," said the manager. "No, sir," said
the General; "I would hang him on the spot and
divide his bones and seed them to the several States
as curiosities."
The order was given to remove all the wagons,
iron, tools, and whatever would be useful to the
army. The work of destruction was then com
menced. The large smelting furnace, two forges, a
puddling-mill, the rolling-mill, saw-mill, blacksmith
shops, storehouses, wagon-houses, and sheds were
reduced to ashes.
In providing for a large and profitable blast, Mr.
Stevens had at great expense laid in a large stock of
anthracite and charcoal, and provisions and stores
for the coming season, all of which were carried away
or destroyed. Several hogsheads of bacon, sugar, and
molasses, and several thousand bushels of wheat,
Ile, oats, and corn, were appropriated for rebel use.
The fences and some of the dwelling houses weretorn
down and heaped against the piles of coal, and thus
reduced to ashes. Wood was piled on each of the
platform scales, and fired; and thus even to the
1 smallest degree nothing was left undone to make the
desttuction of Mr. Stevens' property utterly com
plete. The loss, as estimated by the manager,
amounts to ninety thousand dollars.
The Speech. of Gov. Seymour at Utica.
Governor Seymour is on a brief visit to his home
in Utica, N. Y. In response to the popular desire,
he appeared and made -a brief address, which is
briefly sketched in the Observer:
The Governor said that he returned to his home
when those before him were affected by a question
of deep interest to them all—he alluded to the con
scription act. He should not mar the occasion by
saying anything to wound any present who differed
from him in political opinion. He counselled that
however much they might differ as to the propriety
or the justice of enactments, they should never
allow their prejudices or passions 'to carry them be
yonkthe point where they would be obedient to the
laws. They must remember that when law was
violated, their best interests were violated. Law
protects us always; it is that which gives us secu
rity in sleep, at all times, and in all ])lases • and. we
should always manifest respect for it. Ifthe con
scription bests harshly on the people, let us allevi
ate the hardships thrust upon them, not by vio
lence, but by kind acts and mutual aid. Expressing
his gratification that the supervisors in Oneida
county were about meeting to consider the subject
of aiding those on whom the drat falls heavily, he
said he was quite sure that whatever might be
men's'differences about the conscription law, they
Would all unite in such beneficent measures as
would save from suffering those who could illy bear
the burden laid upon them.
The laws and Constitution are ample to right all
wrongs, and there is no remedy for injustice in acts
of 'disorder ; disorder and -revolution secure no
rights, but create new wrongs. He alluded to this
subject because party passions ran higher than be
fore, and we are in;danger of losing faith in our in
stitutions.' We must look to the judiciary and to

The clouds over our country are dark ;sufferings
press heavily,upon us ; many have dark forebodings
all they look;about them and begin to study the fu
ture; but the Governor said it was not so with him.
[Applause.] He had thought painfully and care-.
fully upon the perila of the country, and been aided'
by correspondence from all parts of the country, and
he was now confident that we should be once more
a united and happy people, with a restored Union,
with the rights of States respected, and that in a
little time American homes would be again saved
from invasion and outrage.
But he had not intended to say so much. He again
thanked his fellow , citizens for their many nets of
personal kindnees—for this compliment. He in
voked the blessings of the Almighty God upon them,
and asked Him that we might be relieved from the
disasters now pressing upon the country, that peace
may be restored to our beloved land, and that it
should speedily regain all its glory and prosperity.
!Damage to Crops lu'the Southwest.
A letter from Champaign county, 111., 31st ult.,

The oldest inhabitant has no recollection of such
a frost at this season of the year, sweeping down
the crops by thousands of acres, and spreading dis
may among the rural population, as was seen here
yesterday morning.
At least half of the corn is cut down, utterly
ruined. Vines of 'all kinds are killed,. including

grape are nearly all killed, with most of: the fruit.

crop is ruined: •
The free cotton; of which" `thousands of dollars'
worth of the seed has been sold, warranted to stand
the climate, is gone beyond any hope of ever saving
the roots.

The Mexican Question.

I:Washing:ln Correspondence of tho Loinloa Times
The North is already improving its viotory before it
has thoroughly achieved it. - But the South is stand
ing its ground manfully, and looks to France or
Mexico for a chance of restoring its waning power
and turning the tide of Its adverse fortune.
"Mexico," they say at Richmond, " as com
pletely in the hands of France at this day as India'
was in the hands of tbe English one hundred years
ago. Napoleon is the master there ; nothing will be
done that he does not will, and everything he wills
will be done. The French will be the best neighbors
for us weeould possibly have. They will be com
pelled to Introduce negro slavery there ; they cannot
otherwise develop • the immense resources of the
country. They will keep Abolitionists from settling
on our Southern frontier. We shall' strike up an
immense trade with them, and the two peoples will
fork; an alliance offensive and defensive which will
set the world at defiance."
THE MEXICAN. EXPEDITION...-
[Paris Correspondence of the London Till - leg, .A.trxttatffl
The Emperor Napoleon is said to have told Mar
shal (then plain General) Percy, when he was about
to start for Mexico, that he was undertaking "la.
plus gram ajilire demon regne." I believe lam not
solitary in my opinion that it wilt prove the most
disastrous event of this reign. Its unpopularity is
wide-spread and invincible. Nothing appears to
render it palatable to the country. Wrap it up in
plebiscites, set it ablaze with rockets and Bengal
lights, promise untold riches from its mines, dress
up the subject in any way you like ' the people, to
use a common phrase, won't have it. I for one ut
terly refuse to believe that the Mexican question
forms a part of anyvast scheme in the teeming brain
of the French Emperor. I look uponthe Mexican ex
pedition as a solitary fact—one of the many despe
rate and reckless throws of the political dice which
we have witnessed, and probably shall yet witness,
during this adventurous reign, and I anticipate that
each new phase of the "occupation" will be marked
by new and increasing difficulties. For instance,
here is the blockade question, Already we learn
the seizure of an English ship, the Carolina Good
year, by the French steam-frigate 'Panama. The
complications which have arisen between us and
our American cousins are at hand to show us how
great are the risks of ill-blood in those questions of
blockade..
TRH EMPEROR VINDICA.TED.
(From the Longon Times. August 2L)
We can have no hesitation in asserting that the
Republic of Mexico has deserved its doom; that its
rights were forfeit ; and that, whatever may be the
end of the affair, the Mexicans have no complaint
against France, and no title to the sympathies of
Europe. So notorious, indeed, are these facts that
they have been universally accepted on both aides
of the Atlantic, though France has been left, by the
course of events, to act upon them' alone. It is of
much importance that this snould be remembered.
Strictly speaking, the French army, though com
posed exclusively of French scadiers, did but repre
sent - what are called "troops of execution" in the
administration of confederate Germany. The sen
tence of Europe had gone forth against Blexico, and
she was put under the ban of Christendom. As re
garded the actual judgment of her offences, England
and Spain were not only of one accord with France,
but were originally engaged even In the execution of
the sentence. It is-not conceivable that under any
Government whatever the Mexicans should fall of
being better ruled than before, and if France 'and
Austria can make Mexico a State in which life and-,
property are secure, and public obligations respected,
they will certainly leave Europe and Mexico their
debtors.
HAS THE ARCHDUKE ACCEPTED THE THRONE?
ECorreopund once of the, London Daily towo,)
While the French journals would represent the
Archduke's acceptance as morally certain, the Aus
trian journals tell us that, except under certain fin
practicable conditions. it is plainly impossible. Bat
there is a significant distinction between the autho
rity of the journals in the two countries which have
made these conflicting communications. In. France
the Monitcur has been ominously silent, and the
reckless assertions of the Archduke's acceptance of
the Mexican throne have emanated from journals
which have none of that avowed connection with
the Government that, in a despotic country, seems
essential to certain accuracy:of statement. Rut in
Austria the case is quite otherwise. The Vienna
Gazette, which is the official organ of the Austrian
Government, hae now spoken ' and it bat eooken
in a sense quite contrary to that of the French
Both the popular and semi-official journals of.
Austria have taken a similar tone. The .Presse, of
Vienna, and the Ost Deutsche Post have spoken more
strongly. The latter journal, which is one of the
most popular and best informed in the Austrian em
pire, thus writes : "Not a doubt can be entertained
for a moment as to the definite decision in a matter
born of intrigues, and nourished by invasion and
sequestration. This Mexican crown is not fit for a
noble German prince." The OctDeutsche Post pro
ceeds to show that, in point of fact, no attempt has
been or can have been made to elicit the will of the
mass of the population, without which the Arch
duke's acceptance could notbethought of. It asserts
that the "notables" who have elected him are mere
ly-the packed nominees of Forey and Alinonte. The
Presse of Vienna, in still more indignant language, as
serts the same thing. Nokia there any doubt that this
is the literal truth. The juggle of the Savoyard bal
lot-boxes is nothing to it. The Archduke knows that,
as regards, popular assent, he haasnothing to go upon.
The Ost Deutsche Post goes so far as to say that " pub•
tic opinion, which is anything but well affected to
ward the imperial summons, will be invited in some
authentic manner to regard that summons as never
having: been issued.", It wishes also to spare any
"Mexican deputation an unnecessary journey from
France to Vienna." The Austrian Gazette again
says that Maximilian could nerds accept a throne
from. a party;-and that= until the whole country
shall have submitted there can be no question about
it. The Presse indignantly declares the offer of the
•Mexican throne to be a mere attempt to shelter the
discredit of the Mexican expedition under the name
of an Austrian prince. _
We are entitled to assume from all these state
ments, both-official and popular, not only that the
Archduke has made no acceptance ;.but thatthe offer
presented to hint is equ.ally invidious in the eyes of
the Government and unpopular with the public of
Austria.
VIEWS OF THE. FRazwa JOURNALS
From Le Pays—Pro-Rebel,]
Although it does not suit the United States to
have a stable and respectable Government in so
close proximity to their territory, they will not
now enter upon vain protests and still vainer
measures after having the experience of war they
have had during the past two years. But, even ad
mitting that the Governmentat Washington should
desire to enter its protest against the establishment
of European influence in Mexico, it will find- two
strong Governments, the Mexican, supported by
the French, ready to receive their recriminations,
founded in no right, without being in the least
moved by them.
[From La Progress, of Lyons:?
The announcement of the establishment of an era,•
pire in Mexico under French protection has been,
doubtless, received with great discontent in Wash
ington, and with corresponding satisfaction in Rich
mond. Mr. Seward's despatch, written more than
a year ago, proves that he saw in the French occu
pation a check to the power of the United States.
He saw rising before his country, in the heart of the
American continent, a barrier againet the encroach
ment of the Anglo-Saxon energies, and his lan
guage, which is now bitter, would soon become
menacing aif the difficulties between the North
and. South should come to an end. It is said
that Austria imposes two conditions—the re
cognition of the South and the neutrality of Mexico.
The recognition will meet with little opposition ;
but this will preclude neutrality. England will not
oppose it, for it will enable her to keep Canada fifty
years longer; but it is to be hoped that the United
States will be wiser than all others, and will not de
part from that great republican principle by which
she exists, and out of which there is no safety for
[Le Progres is one of the exponents of the great
liberal party which is represented in France by such
men as Jules Fevre, Gueroult, and Havin, editors

General Sully's Expedition against the
[From the Chicago Times.
DES MOINES, lowa, August 29, 1863.—1 have been
permitted to read a private letter from a member of
the frontier expedition against the Indians up the
Missouri river, written ,at Sioux City, which con
tains some interesting details. The writer left the
expedition on the 10th instant, on the river, forty
miles below Fort Pierce. Gen. Sully, who is in
command, was then preparing to march to Painted
Woods, several days' travel,. where, it was repre
sented; there were three hundred lodges of Indians,
besides a number on Beaver creek, waiting for Gen.
Sully to come up to give battle.
. The expedition numbered about twenty-five hun
dred men, and had suffered immense hardships on the
march from Fort Randall to Fort Pierce, passing,
most of the way, through a barren country, little
better than a desert. Where the Indians had not
burnt the grass that which was left was unfit for
forage, as that region has not been blessed with rain
for twenty months past.
In consequence of the low stage of water, the sup
ply, boats were a long way .behind, so that the men
and horses suffered severely for food, and sometimes
for water. Gen. Sully asked an order requiring him
to proceed to becountermanded, but General Pope
replied, go on. The General started on his march
against the Indians at- Painted Woods, with but
twenty, days' rations. If he
succeeds in getting
through, General Sully expects to return to Sioux
City about the 20th of October, whence the whole
command, or what is left of it, will proceed South,
orders to that effect having been already issued.
It is estimated that twenty, thousand head of

To our rem-able Brother fraln, ArclihiChop of Nem
cork.—Pope Pius IX. 'I - mangle' Brother, Health and
Apostolic Benediction: Among the various and most
oppressive cares which weigh on uein these turbulent
and perilous times, we are greatly afflicted by the
truly lamentable state in which the Christian people
of the United States of America are - placed by the
destructive civil war broken out among them. For,
venerable brother, we cannot but be overwhelmed
with the deepest sorrow while we recapitulate,
with fraternal feelings, the slaughter, ruin, destruc
tion, devastation, and other innumerable and
ever-to be.deploreo calamities by which the peo
ple themselves r are most miserably harassed and
dilacerated. Hence. we have not ceased to offer up,
in the humility of our heart, our most fervent
prayers to God, that He would deliver them from so
many and so great evils ; and we are fully assured
that you, also, venerable brother, pray, andimplore,
without ceasing, the Lord of Mercies to grant solid
peace and prosperity to that country. But sincelve,
by virtue of the office of our apostolic ministry, em
brace with the deepest sentiments of charity.all the
nations of the Christian world, and, though un
worthy, adminiater here on earth the vicegerent
work of Him who is the Author of Peace and the
Lover rof Charity, we cannot refrain from inculca
ting again and again on the minds of the pee
ple themselves, and their chief rulers, mutual
charity and peace. Wherefore we write you this
letter, in which we urge you, venerable brother,
with all the force and earnestness of our mind, to
exhort with your eminent piety and episcopal real,
your clergy and faithful, to offer up their prayers,
and also apply all your atudy and exertion with the
people and their chief rulers to restore forthwith the
desired tranquility and peace by which the happiness
of both the Christian and the civil republic is princi
pally maintained.
Wherefore, omit nothing you can undertake and
accomplish by your wisdom, authority, and exer
tions, as far as compatible with the nature of the
holy ministry, to conciliate the minds of the coin
batanta, pacify, reconcile, and bring back the de
sired tranquility and peace, by all those means that
are most conducive to the beat interests of the peo.
pie. Take every pains, besides, to cause the people
and their chief rulers seriously to reflect on the
grievous evils with which they are afflicted, and
which are the result of civil war, the direst, most de
atructive and dismal of all the evils that could befedl
a people . or a nation. Neither omit to admonish
d exhort the people and their supreme rulers,
even in our name, that, with conciliated - minds,
they would embrace peace, and love each other
with uninterrupted charity ; for we are confi
dent that they would comply with our paternal ad
monitions, and hearken to our words the more wil
lingly, as of themselves they plainly and clearly un
derstand that we are influenced by no political rea
sons, no earthly considerations, but impelled solely
by paterdal charity, to exhort them to tranquility
and peace. And study with your surpassing wis
dom to persuade all that the true prosperity,
even in this life, is sought for in vain out of the
true religion of Christ and its salutary doctrines.
We have no hesitation, venerable brother, but
that calling to your aid the services and as
sictence even of your associate bishops, you
would abundantly satisfy these our wishes and
by your wise and prudent efforts bring a matier of
such moment to a happy termination. We wish
you, moreover, to be informed that we unite in a
similar manner this some day to our venerable
brother John Mary, Archbishop of New Orleans,
that, counselling and conferring with you, he would
direct all his thoughts and care most earnestly to
accomplish the same object. May God, rich in
mercy, grant that these outmost ardent desires be
accomplished, and as soon as possible our heart
may exult in the Lord over peace restored to that
people. Infine, it is moat pleasing to avail ourselves
of this opportunity to again testify the special fa
vor in which we hold you. Of which, also, receive
a most assured pledge, the Apostolic benediction,
which, coming from the inmost recesses of our
heart, we most lovingly bestow on you, venerable
brother, and the flock committed to your charge.

POPE PIUS
Governor Branalettes Inaugural,
In his late inaugural speech at Loiisville, Ken
tucky, Judge Bramlette said: ,4 We have a decided
objection to organizing and arming negro regiments.
Our objection is not to the power, for it is admitted
that, whatever may be taken for use, in war, all its
available uses may be appropriated. Nor is our ob
jection-because of any regard for rebels, but from
regard to self-respect and the interests of loyal men.
Our objection is, that the arming of nezroes humili
ates the just pride of loyal men, and injuriously af
fects their interests."
He also said: " It is the duty of our Government,
when the armed rebels are driven from or subdued in
a revolted State, to protect and encourage the loyal
ly-disposed citizens remaining, in at once organizing
their State. and by the election of all its officers—
State and Federal—as provided for in their Consti
tution and laws, place the State in organized har
mony with the Government. Humanity and the
cause of constitutional liberty demand this course.
Who shall be punished, will be a question for the
civil tribunals to determine. To prevent crime is the
object of humane punishment, not to revenge wrong.
Revenge finds no sanction in the laws, and awakes
no responsive throb in the bosom of humanity. If
the prodigal returns, let a nation rejoice! The
nearest and dearest relations of life have been rude y
severed by the rebellion. If return to duty by sub
mission to the. laws, with penitence for the past,
and amneaty judiciously proclaimed, has a halm for
many wounds, let it be applied—let us be healed of
tbis great woe
-
"When the rebellion is suppressed, and the na
tional authority restored, we will have the same
Constitution, the same Government, the same na
tionality we had before our-peace was broken, our
prosperity checked, and our security endangered by
rebellion. We will have had a painful but it may
not be an unprofitable, lesson. We will havelearned
to observe constitutional faith, and that to respect
the rights of each other is essential to the peace and
security of all. We shall have learned that life,
liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness' are
the common right of all—each holding . it by equal
constitutional sanctity—that this pertains as much
to him who sleeps in a cottage home as to him who
dwells in palatial halls; _ that free , government
knows no distinctions in right, but assures all
alike that no consequence is given to one species
of property above that of another ; that all lives and
all consciences are equally protected by free go
vernment." _ . -

FINANCIAL AND COINIERCIILL,
THE MONEY MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4, 1.963
The excitement continued in the gold market to
day, without any abatement. Perhaps the true
cause of the panic in stocks, and the advance in gold,
is to be found in the fact that the Secretary of the
Treasuiy has made arrangements to draw on the
banks of Philadelphia, New York, and Boston for
the sum of fifty million dollars, payable in easy in
stalments—the first, of five per cent., due immedi.
ately, and the last before November 30. The fear
that the banks would have to call in their loans
very largely to meet this demand was the first cause
of the panic yesterday. The banks, in payment, are
to receive the new intefest-bearing legal tenders.
There was really no cause for the alarm evidenced
yesterday, for the fund is no sooner in the control
of the Government than it is immediately expended,
and in a few days is back into the bank vaults again;
The movements of the French in Mexico are con
sidered by some as decidedly belligerent, and as of
fences to the Monroe doctrine, which they decidedly
are. A war with France would seem probable, if
we intend to uphold the dignity orour assumptions,
which, of course, we do. But the probabilities are that
France will not bring the matter to a test of arms,
no - matter bow threatening the matter maylook to
us. He will have lost much of that • shrewdness for
which he has received credit, if he ceeks to main•
taro the Austrian prince on the throne of Mexico
against our righteous appeal to the contrary. Even
war would give no pretext for so sudden and im..
portant an advance in gold—why should the mere
idea of it have so great an effectl Operators gene
rally have this view of the matter, but there are
those who consider a war as certin to come.
Gold opened strong at 133 this morning, rose to
136, fell to 132), rose to 134, and fluctuated between

rather a downward tendency.
