The Financial Panic.
The recent rise of gold, and the feverish
condition of the money market, are exciting
much attention in circles not altogether mo
netary. There are few who read the finan
cial and commercial columns of the morning
papers, 'with their dreary columns of statis
tics and mysterious phrases of genteel slang,
with a 'proper appreciation of their true value.
Men turn from the records of the Stock Ex
change With such a feeling as they would
entertain in turning from a gambling
house, or a rude faro-bank among the
booths of a horse•race. . The Stock Ex
change is, however, something more
than a mere gambling saloon. The men
who buy, and sell the • things called shares,
and venture fortunes upon the market
value of a name that has no value in the
market, are men to whom the world may
often look for wisdom. They haVe au
instinct of wars, and convulsions, awl ex
citements. They look beneath the guarded
and ponderous phrases of cabinet ministers,
and see through the_ inscrutable doings of
the statesman • and 'diplomatist. They
know the true value of a victory, and are
nut deceived- by extravagant phrase& In
their cold, worldly, selfish way they - are
the true wise men of the time& The world
appreciates their wisdom, and men pay a
proper tribute to their discretion and power
when they speak of the money market as
the barometer of public feeling. So, when
we find the buyers and sellers as muck agi
tated as our fintincial reports show them to
be, we are naturally led to inquire into the
reas.on. There is no danger impending vier
the country, that we can discern. Our army
is victorious in all quarters„ . and the territory
acquired by our victories is still held by us.
We arc preparing for new campaigns. Our
credit is good, and fbreign capitalists anx
iously look for our securities, while credu
lous friends of the South are losing all in
the lamentable fall of the rebel loan. Money
is plenty, business is brisk; the spirit of int
proveme.nt is everywhere, labor is abun
dantly rem-arded, and, apart from- the mere
hardship of war, the country was never
more prosperous, and, we might say, with
More reasonable grounds for happiness.
Why is it, then, that there is so much excite
ment and anxiety among these peculiar men
of the Stock Exchange ? Why is it that gold
is advancing, stocks declining, with money
"tighter," and in all. securities "a 4 / a ctu
ating tendency ?"
We are told to dread a war with France,
and that the inscrutable Emperor is causing
all this turmoil. But we hardly think that
the dread t ,of anything that France can do
has caused so much agitation. If France
really was feared, " the fluctuating ten
dency" would give place to more decided
symptoms. A small portion of the coin mon
sense that so eminently characterizes these
stock-brokers might show us that the perils
of a war that would bring greater distress to
the weavers of Lyons by altogether stopping
the cotton trade, and a more imperative
want of. bread to the hungry men of Paris
by ruining all French-American commerce,
will compel the Emperor to pause; There
is no good meant to us by France, but we
are strong enough to despise any, danger.
A war with America might bring the
Faubourg, de St.. Antoine to the Gardens
of the Tuileries. Nor do we think that
the call of the Secretary 6f the Treasury .
for-fifty millidtis could have such an effect.
The mere borroWing of that sum would
of course produce a depressing effect, but
still it wound give no cause for a pauio.
There are other business reasons which
may be adduced, but they do not appear
to possess sufficient importance to de
range the money market. Charleston may
have had something to do with it. The
premature report of the capture of Fort
Sumpter, and the hopes that were thereupon
entertained of the early fall of. Charleston,
caused an undue feeling of exultation, and
produced an artificial inflation. We now
see that in Charleston Bay we are to have a
long siege, and that, except the battering
down of certain walls and casemates, and
the but ning of a warehouse or two from our
shells, the situation of the campaign on Mor
ris Island is very much. as it was. The
money-changers may make this-a subject Of
concern, and it is the only motive for alarm
that we can see in all the situation. The
real trouble with the money market is un
doubtedly with the moneyed men themselves.
The spirit, of speculation is running wild.
Men desire to make money, rapidly, and
they are hazarding hundreds in a game
which may bring them thousands, or perhaps
bring them ruin. It is a mere scramble,
a rush, and a clamor such as may be seen
around every gambling saloon, and as such
the people should regard it. There is no
cause for apprehension, and those of our
friends who earn their money in honesi
ways would do well to avoid the temptation
that is now spread before them.
Matarnoros.
We see it announceilin a European paper
-that the French commander in Mexico has
announced his determination to send a
detachment to Matamoros to garrison
the place, * and that the importance of
that town as a cotton port will justify
that action as a matter of economy. Such
a movement is very probable on the part
of. the French, and will bring• the ques
tion of their occupation of Mexico nearer
to America than it has ever been before.
Matamoros, as our readers know, is a little
old Mexican town on the banks of the Rio
Grande; a few miles above, its junction.
with . the Gtilf of Mexico. Immediately
across the river is the State of Texas ; the
town of Brownsville being - in that State,.
and occupying the relation to Matamoros
that Camden does to Philadelphia and Brook
lyn to New York. This town is noWheld by
the rebels under Gen. BEE, and since th
war began a large contraband trade - has been
carried on between the two towns, the Euro
pean merchantmen using the Mexican port
as a nominal port of entry. It has been
almost impossible for us to prevent this
trade, as the Rio Grande is a neutral river,
and 'cannot be blockaded, while Matamoros
is under a friendly flag, and cannot be : oc
cupied. Under the Mexican flag, Matamo-
TO5 has been a source of annoyance to the
United States. We are afrsid to speculate
upon - what it might be under the French
flag.- France is no friend of the Republic.
We know that among the motives prompt
ing NA - voLEcrx to invade Mexico was the
desire to place a boundary to the American
Republic, azd prevent it from extending its
territory beyond the Gulf. We have good
reason further to suspect that he has been
intriguing to induce Texas to throw off its
allegiance to the Federal and Confederate
authorities, and proclaim itself a republic,
or perhaps a dependency of France. He
has also shown so many evidences of sympa
thy with the rebellion, and such a want of
sympathy with_ the cause of America, that
we are justified in supposing that he will
take any opportunity to bring injury upon
us. He could select no better position to
injure America than thiS old Mexican town
of Matamoros. With the French flag
flying over it, we shall have 'a con
traband trade more extensive than any
that has as yet taken place. Risintercourse
with the rebels would become direct Arid
constant, and lie would be ate not only to
recognize the Confederacy, if it so pleased
his inscrutable purposes, but to enforce that
recognition, by throwing a column into.
Texas, and •moving upon New Orleans.'
'Whatever a man striving to found a dynasty,'
and at the same time hide former shames,
would do, will be done by NAPOLEON. He
must sweeten hisrityranny with glory, and if
he cannot win it, as his - uncle did,. on fair
fields, and in open combat With great na
tions, he may find an agreeable substitute in
Mexico . and Texas. It is in the nature of
inch men to fall upon the weak, or look for
Pill to the miseries of others, and at any time
during our trouble with the South we may
look for trouble to the French in Mexico.
The occupation of Matamoros by the French
might be checkmated by the occupation of
Brownsville by General BASES. Let us
drive BEE out of Brownsville, and raise the
'Union flag. Texas will welcome our
coming, and we shall keep the ambitious
Frenchmen on their good behavior.
Mexico and the 'United States.
Aside from any political significance which
may attach to the designs of the French in
Mexico, the fate of the' Mexicans should
convey a lesson to our own people. A once
flourishing Republic has succumbed, not to
the pnrer of France, but to the power of
anarchy, and is now a conquered dependen
cy. The Mexicans were unable to appre
ciate the blessings of a free government, and
have lost them. They would not heed the
authority of their own rulers, and now they
will be forced to respect the authority of a
foreign prince, with no sympathy for their
condition, and no power to ameliorate it if he
would. What has been the fate of Mexico,
would, under like circumstances, be the fate
of the United States. If this proud and
powerful 'Republic may be dissevered at the
gill of few traitorous malcontents ; if the
union of the States may at any time be
broken up, by the meeting of a po
litical caucus aud the passage of seces
sion or nullification resolutions, then the
theory that man is capable of governing him
self, is indeed a chimera, and upon the ruins
of our present Government we may expect
to see a monarchy established. Thexe are
fewer crowns than crown-huriters in Europe,
and it will always be so. If these United
States were separated into thirty-four distinct
sovereignties, what a glorious opportunity
would be presented to the foreign aspirants
for royal honoi•st That is the only danger
that overshadows the future of the American
Republic. In its inteerity it can defy the
world, for it is a world within itself. But
split up by anarchy, as Mexico has been,
into numerous antagonistic communities,
and robbed of its strength by the insidious
influence of faction, it will inevitably bee nne
the prey of European despots, and its des
tiny be settled in transatlantic cabinets.
The Catholic Church in France.
The union of Church and State is an un
natural marriage, and the world's history
records what monsters have been its off
spring—national debasement, the slavery of
peopl?s, and wars innumerable. The peo
ple have no safety under such a Govern
ment; statesmanship has no moral freedom,
and religion no purity. Either the Church
must become an instrument in the hands of
men whose objects are worldly, or the State
must be the slave of priests and theologidal
doctrines. In the one case we have a
French army at Rome, and the Pope re
ceiving his instructions from NAPOLEON; in
the other, the Crusade and the Inquisition.
Wretched is that religion whose pure influ
ences are used to create wars, and sustain
or destroy thrones; equally unhappy is
the country whose political power is made
the means of making a church wealthy and
its ministers the equals of kings. A State
has nothing to do with another world , its
legislation cannot be influenced by the fear
of future punishment, or the hopes of future
reward ; its interests are all of the earth.
A religion must deal with the future and
the present only as related to it ,it legiti
mately affects a nation only by the improve
ment of individuals. In the United States,
very fortunately, the Government does
not in any way interfere with the Church,_
and' religion has comparatively little in
iluence on legislation. Europe, however,
still suffers from the interference of one power
with the other.
The Roman Catholic Bishops of France
published an address to the electors, previous
to the late elections, which called forth a
reprimand from the Minister of Public In
struction. The Archbishop - of Tours, in
reply, affirmed that the Bishops possessed
the right to advise upon political questions,
andAenied the justice of the Government's
interference. An imperial decree answers
the Archbishop very decidedly. It.declares
that the Bishops have no right to interfere
with political matters ; that their duties .and
authority - are confined strictly to their re
spective dioceses ; that without the permis
sion of the Government their deliberations --
are illegal; that, the - Church and the head
of the Church has spiritual authority alone
in France, and no light to consider temporal
and civil matters.
Applying these principles to the letters it
shows them to be political documents ema
nating from religious dignitaries. This is
sharp censure of the Bishops ; but, of far
greater importance is the evident determi
nation of the Emperor to expel the influence
of Rome from France. The Bishops are
denied the privilege of deliberating in con
vocation, .and of any combined action,
without the express permission -of the Go
vernment. This is not merely to destroy
the political power of the Church, but to
exile the Roman Catholic Church from the
dominions of the Emperor. - The Galilean
Church is no longer under the power of the
Pope, and cannot, to any inapor4int extent,
influence French politicsas a great religious
Its actual head is the Emperor
Lours NAPOLEON has acted boldly, but,
we think, wisely. He has not attacked re
ligion ; he has defended it. The priests of
the Catholic Church can still save the souls
of .their p6ople, but the great dignitaries
can no longer change the result of an elec
tion. This is to defend the highest interests
of religion, by forcing it to be true to its
mission. Unquestionably; there has been a
persistent attempt' to bring the Galilean
Church under the sovereign control of
Heine, and were the Pope merely a spiritual
ruler, this attempt Would not be so dinger
ous ; but as he is also a temporal monarch,
its success could be only evil. We remember
that the Emperor is a tyrant; but do not for
get that France is a nation. Liberty must
gain in the gad by the divorce of polities
and priestdom.
Nemesis.
It is suggestive to witness the reaction of
sentiment in the Southern States. The
military tyranny is so stern and universal
that the voice of the people is.neyer heard,
or, if heard at all, the sound is as faint and
- uncertain as that of a prisoner moaning his
fate and clamoring for release. In North'
Carolina we see the efforts of the Union men
to build up a reactionary feeling against the
rebellion. Similar efforts are occasionally
seen in Georgia, and Tennessee, and Mis
sissippi, but as yet they are speedily crushed
by the conscript officers. The ballot is the
only evidence of their real feeling,
.and by
the ballot they make their grievanees knoivn.
We have seen, occasionally the spectacle of
communities formerly devoted to Secession
turning upon those who were their former
leaders, and driving them from authority.
Alabama is the last instance. Alabama.has
been, next to South Carolina and Mississippi,
the darling of the Secessionists. It was the
borne of 'YANCEY and the scene of the great
rebel's early schemes for the dissolution
of the Union. "When Secession occurred,
Alabama, charmed and carried away in the
delirium of the new feeling, took a leading
position in the Confederacy,-and gave the
leaders of :the rebellion stations of honor
and profit. YANCEY and CAREY were sent
to the Richmond Congress, and SHORTER
was made Governor.. The war came, and
with it came reflection and wisdom. Ala
bama has felt the iron hoof upon her fair
fields, and she has seen that, in every
promise made by the Secessionists, she has
been deceived. She sees that the strength
and happiness of an alliance with the Union
are vastly to be preferred to the uncertain
- Venture of a Southern Confederacy—a con
trivanc e withotit character or credit, and,
suffering from the stern power of the NOrthE
ern - armies. Therefore, she turns upon the
men who induced her to become a partner
in .the rebel venture, and displaces them
From their" Offices. This is small revenge,
Perhaps, now that the mischief is done ; - but
it is the only , vengeance in the power of the
people of Alabama until the Federal power
releases them from rebel thraldom, andeni
bles them:lto return to their old allegiance.
It shows= the country what these people of
the South really think 'of the rebellion and
its authors. : ,
ecogn Mon.
The Liverpool Mercury declares that "it
is understood that the question of the recog
nition of the Confederate States of America
was discussed at the Council of French Mi
nisters held at St. Cloud on Monday, Au
gust I;th. Several of the Ministers thought
the time had arrived for such an act on the
part of France, but the Council was dis
solved without any determination being ar
rived at. It is generally thought in France
that the recognition of the Southern States
will take place immediately the favorable
opportunity presents itself." Notwithstand
ing this declaration, it is not likely that NA
POLEON will be in any haste td recognize
the South.
Poland.
France, it would appear, is not -inclined
just yet, to rim into hostilities with
on the pretence of aiding Poland. NAPO
LEON repeats that he will not actively
interfere without the co-operation of Eng
land and Austria. He says, " I am very
anxious to help Poland, but alone I will not
attempt it. My allies, too, seem determined
to remain passive." >Alas for Poland.
California.
We do not think BunwEn's theory that
the war will`end in the establishment of a
Pacific Republic is made very plausible by
the late elections inXialifornia. They have
proved that the Golden State is true to the
Union, and that her people understand that
their interests are bound up with its pre
servation. The T nion majority is immense.
Mr. Lose has been elected by a majority of
twenty thousand votes, and all the counties
heard from, send - Union men to the Legisla
ture. Ever', loyal man will rejoice in this
noble spirit of devotion to the Republic,
and it will be strange if Pennsylvania, in
greater danger from the rebellibn, should
not give in October as true support to the
Government.
Cotton Burping.
As we anticipated, the Confederate bond
holders in England are terribly disconcerted
at the news that the rebel leaders are burn
ing all the cotton which, it was promised,
should be held as security and payment for
the money lent The commercial article in
the Liverpool .illereury of August 20th--a
bitter antagonist of the Union and warm
friend of the South—has the following la
mentation therm :
" The statement in the Times that letters from
Northern Mississippi, dated 24th July, to the St.
Louie Republican; relate that the Confederates are
applying the torch to every bale of cotton that can
be found, and that the whole country, south of the
Tallahatchie river is ore vastscottem conflavyttion, is
ill to reassure the holders of the Confede
rate loan ; and there seems no bottom to the slough
of despondency into which they have fallen. The
stock was very much neglected to day, and we be
lieve only two transactiona took place in it. The
closing price was 29,1 g to 251 S discount
" This wholesale destruction of cotton is greatly
to be deplored, as it makes the prospect of a suffi
cient supply of cotton for the effectual relief of the
Lancashire operatives to be even beyond the termi
nation of the war. Many years must now elapse,
ut der the most favorable circumstances, before the
cotton market can go back to the position it occu
pied before the election of Mr. Lincoln as Presi
dent of the United States. Such is the general feel
ing on 'Change, and under its influence a large
business has been done in cotton to-day, the sales
reaching 16,000 bales, with the market again dearer,
say t on Amerioan and it it, on Surats.
It is also stated that buyers of goods and yarns
have at length made up their minds that they must
go on purchasing at prices which will prove remune
rative to producers."
We notice that a country gentleman in
North - Wales, who had invested largely in
the Confederate Loan, was so 'disheartened
by its recent tremendous fall in the money
market and the ruin thus brought on his
family, .that he committed suicide.

BRIDGEPORT, Ala., Sept. 4.—Gen. Burnside tele
graphs that he took Kingston on the 2d instant,with
a pert of Minty's brigade. Gen. Rosecrans' army
moved on simultaneously.
Gen. Burnside met with but little opposition in
Eastern Tennessee, except at Chattanooga.
The country was evacuated and free. - Everything
is working splendidly, both with Generals Burn
sides and Rosecrans , armies. The great 'obstacles
of the region will be surmounted in a day or two.
Nnw Youx,' Sept. 4.—A special despatch to the
Tribune from Cincinnati. says :
General Burnside is supposed to be at Clinch river.
His march across the Cumberland mountains Was
very exhausting. His column consisted mostly of
cavalry and mounted infantry, and a strong body of
infantry from General Rosecrans, who was to have
joined him in Clinch-river valley. The headquarters
of the Army of the Cumberland are still at Steven
son, Alabama. Only a portion of the army have
crossed the Tennessee.
The forces on the south side will shortly destroy
the Georgia Railroad, which is Bragg's line of com
munication..
All the movable public and private property is
being carried out of. Chattanooga.
MATAMOBOS TO BE OCCUPIED BY THE FRENCH.
aerie (august 19) Correspondence of London Telegraph.]
The repeal of General Forey's Mixlcan sequestra
tion act has been received here with great favor;
indeed, it did seem rather a strong measure of "pro
tection," even when only adopted "temporarily."
I hear strong confirmation of the truth of the re
ports which I have aheady forwarded, of the dis
turbed state of that part of Mexico which is not en
tirely in the hands of the French ; the Monifeur de
1' Armee, in fact, hints at bands of brigands'and other
disturbers of the public peace, who are speedily to
be put down.
According to private letters received by the last
mail, Tampico and Tuxpan were abotit to be occu
pied by the French, and it was expected that Mata
moros would also have to be held on account of the im
portant cotton trade which might there be carried on.
Comonfort was very ill at Silao, and, finally, the
city of Mexico was about to give a ball to the
French army, for which a large sum had already
been subscribed.
The Duty • of the Democracy.
To the Editor of The Press:
Slit: Anew me to say a word or two to you s
through your paper, to my Democratic _friends. I
have always acted with them, and even up to the
last delegate election took part, but here I must
stop.. I find my sense of duty to my • country will
not let me go further. I cannot cast my vote with a
party who I haVe a doubt of in this the nation's
struggle for life, and I know there are many like me
in this matter. Some say they will Plke no part in
the election. This was my conclusion first, but I
have changed my mind. I feel it would be criminal
if I should act so, and therefore what influence I
have I will throw on the side of the Government.
Fellow• Democrats, think before you act against your
sense of right. You love your country, I know, and
would sooner lose anytking than have it destroVed.
I cannot submit to the lead of such men as now
claim to be leaders of the DemoCratic party. k . .. 1 knew
them when they were its most bitter opponents, and
even the name was hateful to them.

NEw YORK, Septeniber 4, 1863
THE COURTS AND THE FRA.GRA.NTS
The conscription act is proving a blessing to law
yers of fragrant reputation. Deserters, drafted men,
and rioters are, through such elegant mediums,
constantly applying to the courts for protection
against the unconstitutional and inquisitorial en
croachments of Mine Uncle, and bounty-jumpers
find consolation in their highly technical advice. A
case is now pending before Judge Leonard, of the
Supreme Court, with the sonorous title of Verren
vs. Nugent and Manierre, In which Messrs. Ed win
James and Ashmead are for thenlaintiff; the object
of 'which is to test the constitutionality of the act,
and release, if possible, all drafted men and substi
tutes from the army. Mr. James is a- great
and good man, as well as a Sound lawyer,
and the same gentleman who left England and
the position, of Queen's counsel on account of
certain financial disagreements between himself
and one of his clients, in the course of which he
rendered a solemn decision ' in his own favor and
levied execution instanter. The ground of this de
cision was probably the old maxim, "Heaven
help those who helps themselves." Mr. James ac
cordingly, if the English press is entitled to belief,
helped himself, and left his chambers in the Temple
without much ado. His decision was subsequently
overruled by the courts, but the aggrieved lawyer
doubted their whdom, and fanned by the balmy
breezes of the broad .tlantic, called for New
Tork, Here, he was received as a brother
in arms, by an ancient and exgoded coal
merchant, now the editor and proprietor
of a Democratic weekly of vast circulation, and
numerous Fragrants, through whose instrumentality
he received much practice in the courts. He now
settled down on our hospitable shores, became de
fendant in a divorce suit, which went against him,
and altogether rose high in the estimation of a con
fiding public.
Mr. James made a motion, on Wednesday last, in
the above entitled cases for an injunction, or rather
for an order to show cause why an injunction should
not be issued, restraining the defendants, who are
provost marshals, from arresting the plaintiff as a
deserter, or proceeding in any manner, way, or
shape, in the enforcement of the conscription act.
The brief of the interminable Mr. James has' the
double object in view of exhausting the question
and the court It raises the entire subject of the
constitutionality of the draft for the special purpose
of putting it down,' and aims at demoralizing the
Army of the Potomac. This is exactly what the
whole fraternity of Fragrants have been striving to
do for some time past, and they have succeeded to
the best of their ability, which is not saying much.
The courts are now in a superior, if not a supreme
state of muddle; which is about as explicable as the
philosophic ratricinations of a fine old German
mind. The act has set them all by the ears.
Leonard, of the Supreme, overrules the ease of
Ableman vs. Booth of the United States courts,
while White, ("he Superior affirms it; McCann, of
the Inferior, overturna everything and everybody,
all sorts of decisione, - all dicta, and lets everybody
off who is opposed to:the dem'd Abolitionists and the
Black Republican Administration. Such is the vast
lucidity which has resulted from the deeds of the
Fragrante, and it may be presumed that, whenthe
final decision is rendered, it will be by judges who
have grown gray and hoary in sgtviee, and survived
at least one generation of briefs and points.
THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER
gives much satisfaction to loyal men in this city,
indeed, Mr. Lincoln has never been so popular here
as at present. This fact becomes more apparent
every day. The Republican, like every other party,
contains some men who are chronically weak-kneed,
as the phrase goes, and these have not spared the
President when be seemed to hesitate between
alternatives. Very many of them shuetheir eyes to
the corrupt and indecent issues of the Copperhead
platform at the last election, and voted - for Horatio'
Seymour upon the ground that by so doing they
should administer a rebuke to Mr. Lincoln. Of
course, as soon as they came to understand
the real policy of the new Governor; as soon
as they found Broadway deluged -by concert
saloons, the Sunday liquor law practically ab
rogated, and treason and disloyalty fostered and
propagated, they receded from the position they
had taken, and became convinced that they
had administered a rebuke to public morality
and public decency. The honest, straightforward,
unwavering course of Mr. Lincoln has now molli
fied these wandering sheep, and they are now his
staunchest supporters. The very men who, six
months ago, would have voted for young Napoleons,
or others of similar ilk, are now solicitous that the
Honest Old Abe elan. become a candidate for re
election to the office which he is so honorably filling.
Of course, much dependence cannot be placed upon
men who have once ranged themselves upon the
disloyal side merely because they were dissatisfied
with the course of the truly loyal; but their earnest
recantation of the heresy may at least be considered
as a weighty indication of the popularity of our
good Riesident.
PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS.
After Mr. Lincoln, General Banks holds the place of
favor. I have heard many Democrats—not of the
spurious order—advocate his claims upon the people
as warmly as could the most orthodox Republican.
The third in order is General Butler; and here the
list ends. Naturally, each of these worthy men has
his partisans, who are lona in assertion of the pecu
liar characteristics of each which entitles him
to preference. But let the nomination fall
where it may, there is good ground for the belief
that the nominee will receive the full and undivided
support of all loyal men, and the most malignant
vituperation and opposition from the disloyal.
S ru Y VESA& T.
The Anglo-Rebel Pirates—A prench
[Translation from the Paris Siecle of August 1J,18,33.]
THE RIGHTS OF CORSAIRS
The name of pirates that we have given to the
armed vessels carrying the Confederate flag has
_touched the susceptibility of their friends. We
have been reproached for not taking into account
the difficult circumstances in which the Southern -
Confederacy finds itself in carrying On this war.
They have no ports, we are told, and neutral na
tions refuse to allow their prizes to be brought into
their ports for sale, hence the necessity which com
pels them to burn or sink the vessels they capture.
The communications that we have received on this
subject amount to nothing. We know perfectly
well that the slave Confederacy has no power to fit
out vessels under the law of nations, and it is for
this reason that we denounce these vessels by the
term they merit—pirates.
The pretended law of necessity, which they claim
to excuse their violation of international law, is not
valid, as -they cannot in any way change the este
bliished rules amongst nations, whether at war or
in peace. By all civilized nations it has been esta
blished and agreed to that a certain course must be
pursued and certain formalities observed before an
armament can be recognized as a legitimate enemy.
These formalities are three in number : 'l. The navy
must be commissioned by a Government. 2. The
parties fitting out the vessel must have given bonds
sufficient to answer any demands that any illegal
capture may subject them to. 3. Before disposing of
any prize, it is indispensable that they shall prove
before a proper tribunal that the prize is valid.
Masse, in his Commercial Law, says: " When a
person assumes a right of war which does not per..
'lain town individual, he puts himself in rebellion
against society. He betimes in a manner denation
alized, and should be proceeded against as a pirate
and an enemy of all nations, even his own, the au
thority of which he fails to recognize. This is the
law of France ,(law passed 10th April, 1825, Art. I ;
ordnance of 1681, title IX, on prizes, articles 1 and
6), and such are the laws and usages of the civilized
world." Now, what can be more exorbitant than,
this right which the Confederate vessels arrogate'
themselves of condemning without appeal, putting
out of existence the prizes they take, burning and
sinking property, the nationality of which they can-'
not: prove—this is not their proper mission..
We are willing to admit, as it is affirmed, that the
Canfederate vessels are commissioned by their Go
vernment; but where is the evidence that they have
given proper security to respond for damages they
may commit against neutrals? What guarantee can
this spurious Government, instituted by Messrs.
Davis, Mason, Slidell, Beauregard, and Stephens,
offer? In what manner, for example, are the owners
of the Brdmootier, of Bordeaux, of which we gave
an account the other day, to be recompensed for be
ing compelled by one of these vessels to go out of
her way to land prisoners 7 Under the system that
these houthern men assume to eatabliah, neutral
navigation is exposed to gam 'e for Which it Will
ba imT:.9itao chte-in Weak - 7
"Tee'third condition," says the learned author
of the." Rights and 'Duties of Neutral Nations in
Time of Maratime War," "generally required by
the laws of their country, and by treaties, and which
has consequently become a condition of interns,.
tional law, is that the captor cannot dispose of his
prize nor any part, however small, of the cargo of.
the vessel taken, nor of any papers. In short, he
cannot claim the right of property to a single thing
of, any kind until a competent tribunal has decided'
his right to the prizes by declaring it properly and
validly made, and giving him the right to dispose.
of it."
To claim, as is done, that the Confederates having
no -posts into which they can carry their prizes, the
necessity of the case gives them the right to sink or
burn them, is simply to admit that a corsair with his
prize, pursued by an enemy, has a right to destroy
the prize, or if he endeavors to get into a friendly
port and finds it blockaded or in the possession of
the enemy, has the right to burn the captured , vessel
because he cannot bring it before a prize court, The
law of nations has never sanctioned such an enor
mity, and it falls to a Government as little regard
ful of the eternal rights of humanity as the Govern
ment of Richmond to venture openly on such an
open violation of the principles by which the liberty
and security of the ocean is guarantied.
When the natural laws upon which are based
liberty, pi operty, and the rights of man, when
community claims to be the regenerator of society
on the foundation of slavery, such a community sets
at- defiance the rules that by the universal consent
of nations have been established to seoure order and
honesty between belligerents, and they arrogate to
themselves the right to pillage and burn without
measure or mercy, then they even go farther: they
claim to exercise sovereignty on neutral territory.
and take possession Of islands and bays, where they,
act precisely as though they were at home. This is
what they write from Rio Janeiro : We have be
fore alluded to the armed Confederate vessels taking
possession of the Roca Islands. There the Alabama
carried her prizes, leaving them to. run out after
others; they were kept a few days at anchor, and
after being pillaged were set on fire.
These acts called out an order from the Emperor of
Brazil forbidding the corsair Alabama entering into
any of the ports of Brazil after her bold violation of
the neutrality of the Empire. A circular issued by
the Marquis of Abrantes to the Presidents of the
coast provinces announces this decision, the execu
tion of which will be enforced by the employment of
the maritime Powerff Brazil. The indulgence of
the naval powers has encouraged these Southern
people till they supposed they could do as they
pleased; ; one of the most insignificant of the naval
Powers has undertaken to defend the true princi
ples. We regret that some of the great Powers have
not done this, because they have allowed themselves
to be placed in a situation of great embarrassment.
The principles which have always been proclaimed
as the safeguard of the liberty of the seas cannot be
allowed to be violated with impunity.
T. N. BERARD.
[Prom the Boston Traveller. 3
On the drat page we publish an able article on the
"Rights of Corsairs,", written by T. N. Barnard.
It appeared originally in. the Paris Siecle of August
14, from which it was translated for the Braden Post.
X. Barnard states his reason why he terms these
vessels pirates, by a clear analysis of the law of
nations . bearing upon the rights and duties of•
belligerents. He- shows that the Confederates,
in utter violation of law, burn and destroy at
their pleasure every vessel, without even the
form of a trial. While we fully agree with him
in his conclusions, we regret he assumed at the
outset that these pirates were," Confederate." If
he had extended his analysis to what gives nation
ality to a vessel, he could not fail to have perceived
that these very pirates which he so justly denounces,
Were " British," and not, as he states, " Confede
rate." The "290," alias Alabama, whose proceed
ings he characterizes as piratical, was built-by'
Laird, an Englishman ; she was armed by' arms
from England, is. manned by Britith subjects ;, she
left Liverpool under the - protection of the British
flag,-and hasnot up to this date been into a Con
federate port. • •
• In British ports she receives heisupplies, end un
der the • British -flag she has waylaid and captured
American vessels. To term such a vessel "Con
federate" is absurd. Mr. Cobden saw this, and ex
posed the falsehood fearlessly in the British
Parliament, much to the annoyance of the Govern
ment. Even the fellow who built her could not
deny the charge, but rather sought to justify him
-5511 upon the ground that he "was open and
above.boarci" in building and fitting her out. Of
course he was ; as a supporter of the Government
he no doubt had taken means to ascertain what
its action would be in the premises, and acted ac
cordingly. Re knew every step that would be taken
by the law officers of the Crown to give color to
compliance with the law, and was prepared with
suitable subterfuges to carry out his designs. The
two hundred and ninety knaves, who subscribed
the funds to build and equip their namesake are
Englishmen, and for aught we know to the contiary,
still own her. 'The fact that she is nominally under
the command of Semmes, does not affect her na
tionality in the least. Like the Spanish captains,
sometimes found on board of slavers, he has been
placed there as a protection to the necks of the
British pirates who man her.
Resolutions of the Convention of Young
Met! at Syracuse.
The great Convention of the'Young Men of the
State of New York have adopted the following reso-
lutions, with remarkable unanimity and enthu
siasm :
First. That the present war was produced by an
unprovoked attack Upon the nation, and cannot be
honorably closed except by unconditional submie-
Edon by the insurgents.
Second. That the system of Southern slavery was
parent of the rebellion, and we shall rejoice if, as a
consequence of it, that system shall be destroyed.
Third. That the letter of. President Lincoln shall
receive our cordial support, and inspire us with con
fidence in the steadfastness and wisdom of its
author.
Fourth. That the object of the war is not to reduce
the inhabitants of the South to a state of vatraalage,
nor to hold them in the condition of a conquered
people, but to preserve the nation and enforce the
laws, and to secure a lasting peace ; and that when
these purposes are attained, and the insurgent States
manliest a repentant sprit, we will welcome them
back as the father welcomed his prodigal son.
Fifth. That our soldiers and sailors have given new
glory to the Republic, exhibiting a patriotic- devo
tion the memory of which will be remembered to
the latest generation.
Sixth. That the signal ability with which the Ad
ministration has Managed the affairs of the Govern
ment commando our gratetul admiration.
Seventh. That foreign intervention will he ener
getically resisted by the people.
Eighth. That we deeply regret - the efforts of the
Governor of the State of New York to impede the
enforcement of the laws, and, that his conduct has
greatly increaeed the nation's burdens, and brought
disgrace upon the character of our State.
Ninth. That we condemn the abuse of the freedom
of speech and of the press, indulged in by the oppo
nents or the Government. -
Tenth. That, we approve of the proceedings of the
Union State Convention, and promise a hearty aup,i
port to the nominees,
Eleventh. That the heartfelt eyrupatby and grati-
tude of the people of the North are due to the heroic
Union men of the South.
Vallandigham , s Proposed Adiendment to
the Constitution,
CFrom the Setota (Ohio) Gazette 3
The Advertise r says that the object of Vallandig
ham's amendment to the Constitution was to perpe
tuate the Union.
Such assertions are amazing; yet we have heard
Vallandigham stompers roundly declare that the
object or Vallandigham was to render secession im
possible.
Do these desperate partisans know ; that the pro
position of their leader contained a clause_ providing
for peaceable secession?. If they do not know this,
they can learn it by turning to page 90, of " Vallee
digham7s Record.'? It reads as follows:
132271231912
"No State shall secede without the consent of
the legislature? of the States of the section to which
the State proposing to secede belongs."
Vallandigham in his speech on his proposition
said : " Secession has been tried, and has proved a
speedy and terrible success." And therefore he pro
posed to regulate the right; and we see his regula
tion. No Secessionist can complain of its stringen
cy. He had already piovided for dividing the Unioa
into four sections. One including the entire South,
giving Jed' Davis, for his section just what he now
claims. And then he had separated the North into
three sections, running his dividing lines along the
weakest parts—one between Pennsylvania and
Milo—from the Panhandle to the lake, and toe other
along the spurs of the Rocky Mountains.
Under his proposition, any section could secede
against the will of all the others, and any State of
any section could secede against the will of all the
States of all the other sections. California and
Oregon could secede, though all the other States op
posed it. The South could secede despite the oppo
sition of all the Eastern, the Western, and the Pa.
cific States. And South Carolina could secede with
out the consent of any State outside of her own
Southern section.
The substance of Mr. Valiandisham's amendment
to the Constitution was a provision for the peaceable
secession of the Smith and the partition of the Nortn
into three nncqual parts, the greatest of which he
hoped to ride and sell to the South.

nal says : "A general system of thieving seems to
have been instituted in Newport. The principal

the largest share of the victims, though the other
public houses have by no means escaped. The loss
of more than two thousand dollars has beenreported

seems to rest upon the servants, some of whom have

THE TJNITED STATES STEAMSHIP VANDERBILT.
—The clipper.ship Grey Eagle, Captain Burgess, ar
rived at Baltimore Thursday, in a remarkably short
run from Rio de Janeiro, having sailed thence on
the first of August She reports in port, at that
date, the United States steamer Vanderbilt, Com.
Baldwin. This seta at rest the idle rumor copied
from the Richmond papers that the Vanderbilt had
been captured by one of the Confederate privateers.
Captain Burgess also reports that the United States
ship Mohican sailed from Rio on a cruise on the 31st
July.
NEGROES AND THE BLACK FLAG. —The Rich
mond Dispatch, talks savagely- about the threats
of the United States Government to retaliate, ii its
colored soldiers are not treated as prisoners of
war when captured, and insists that. the Confede
rate Government cannot yield its right to punish
its slaves who have fled to the enemy. It there
fore predicts that there will be no further exchange
of prisoners, and that the war is approaching a
bloody period, when no prisoners will be taken. A
correspondent of the Atlanta (Georgia) Appeal states
that the game of retaliation hes already begun in
the Southwest; that some fifty negroes in the
United States service having been captured by the
Confederates near Port Hudson, were subsequently
shot. The correspondent says:
"It is said that Colonel Logan has taken the
entire responsibility, and that the negroes afore
said were shot soon after the engagement, at a
little place called Centreville, twenty miles from
Jackson, La. It is said also that, prior to the exe
cution General Andrews, learning the intended
fate of the slaves, sent a communication under flag
of tiuce from Port Hudson, warning Colonel Logan
that if he executed the negroes he.would immedi
ately retaliate, as he had the material in his posses
sion. If this should prove true, the Pandora box of
this war is now opened in earneet t and the skull and
cross-bones will become the inignia of the Southern
battl &flag?"
STATE RIGHTS.—There is a plausible Objection
made to emancipation as a necessary result of the
war, upon the ground that slavery is a State insti•
tution, and to destroy it, by the national will is to
invade the rights of States, which nobody wishes to
see overthrown.
But, without urging the right of any imperiled
people to suspend any law and every right for the
sake of the common safety, it is plain that such
emancipation does not limit any State right, ex
cept in declaring that no State can be allowed to
maintain any system which constantly menaces
the national pence. There can be no right to hold
slaves. whatever the State law may be, any more
tit can te can be any right to - put insane persons
to death, although the State law might allow it.
The power of a majority to declare that anything
may be done, and to do it, may be undeniable;
but no power can beget the right to do wrong,.
The corroding vice of Douglas , famous squatter
sovereignty dogma was that it empowered brute
force and the vote of a majority to dispose of natu
ral rights, which are inalienable.

C ITEMS.
The Cool Weather and Its Suggestions.
The cool weather of the past few days, although
a delightful change from the heat that preceded
it, brings with - its a few suggestions which, if not
attended to, will eubiect our citizens to more or
lees inconvenience. Prominent among these cool
weather hints is the precaution for prudent house
keepers to prepare for frost, by having their Heaters
and Ranges put in proper trim. People returning
from the country at this season are in many cases
reminded of a want In this department which their
absence from home has only served to render more
apparent and imperative, and for these, as well as
for our readers generally, we have a word of counsel,
to wit: Hate your 'wants in the stove line attended to with
out delay. Every one knows how difficult it is to secure
the prompt services of stove men at the approach
of cold weather in ordinary times, and the unusual
scarcity of hands now is certain this season to ren
der the difficulty much more serious. We have
just learned that, with characteristic enterprise Mr.
James Spear, the pioneer among stove men in this
country, is fully - prepared to meet the wants of our
citizens in the matters above referred to with the
utmost promphiese, it applied to early. In order to
ascertain the state of trade in this important branch
we tailed At Mr. Spear's warerooms, Po. 1116
Market street, yesterday, (the acknowledged head
quarters for information in this department),
aad were surprised to find that, nOtwithstand
ing the cry about hard times persisted in by
some, his steady increase of trade has com
pelled him to " lengthen his cords and strengthen
his stakes," by incorporating with his former
capacious rooms the entire large trending adjoin
ing his store on the west, so that hereafter the
" Headouartera " of the Stor,re trade in,Philadelphia
will be associated in the minds of our citizens with
1116 and 1118 Market street, instead of, as heretofore,
with a single storehouse—by all odds now the most
extensive and best appointed Stove warehouse in
Philadelphia ;• and, stocked air it is with an endless
assortment of the various celebrated Stoves which
he manufactures and sells, we need hardly say to our
readers that if they want the latest and bestins
pros embraced in the stove line, this is the
_ _
place to find them in greatest perfection, especially
as we find upon examining that - the present season
is marked with even more than the usual number of
startling and substantial new improvements in his
various stoves, such as we know the public will ap
preciate. His improvement, by - the way, in his
celebrated ‘.'Spear Improved Cook Stove," renders
this Move the masterpiece of the age in the stove
making art, rendering it by far the most desirable
stove for family use ever given to the public. Its
great saving of fuel alone—which is apparent at a
glance to all who see it—will itself render this stove
a universal favorite.
But the addition in the way of marked improve
ments in Mr. Spear's stock does not end here. Even
a slight reference to them all in detail would Occupy
more space, than we can to. day devote to the sub
ject ; we must, therefore, confine our remaining re
marks to a few of the more noticeable new improve
erds which the reader will find in examining this
stock.
In the first place, he has added one of the most
decided improvements of the age to his celebra
ted Spear.improved Cook Stove, which he now
manu factures in no leas than ei9let different sizes,
with the improvement attached. He has also im
proved his equally celebrated Spear Cooking Range
in a similar way, and offers them in ,/our different
sizes.
His "Complete" Cook Stove fer small families
has also been greatly improved, and is now being
made by Mr. Spear in six different sizes.
His " Charm " Gas burning Cook, for either small
orlarge families, is aleo a beautiful stove, and for all
kinds of cooking or baking purposes cannot be ex
celled : it is also shown in four sizes.
We would also invite special attention to Spear's
"Band Box," or Dining-room Stoves, manufactured
in four sires. TheY are made on the airtight prin
ciple, end are a decided improvement on the old style.
For economy of fuel these stoves are unequalled.
In the department of Heating Stoves Mr. Spear has
also added valuable improvements to his celebrated
Fireplace Stove for heating dining and sitting-rooms
with but one fire. This particular Heater is rapidly
being introduced into all our first-class dwellings.
His greatly-admired and justly popular "
Anti-
Dust" Pallor Stove has also been embellished by
the addition of some important improvements, ren
doling it, beyond doubt, the moat perfect 'Parlor
Stove ofthe age. It is at once exquisitely orna
mented aad thoroughly utilitarian, and is inade, in
six different sizes, from the best (imported) Rusaia
Hie well-knowp...Gas-consuming Heating Stoves,
for offices, halls, chambers, storea, Sic., are also made
in the beat possible manner, and in no len than
twenty different sizes and patterns.
We also noticed a new Portable Heater, cheap,
durable, and efficient, made in six sizes ; also, his
new gas.conautaing , g Egg" Heater, a heater which
is set in brick-work, and is equally well adapted for
the use of large or small dwellings:; it is made in
Three sizes.
Hip " Tropic " and " Arctic" Egg Stoves—cast iron
cylinders--auitable for stores, ddpots, hotels, etc.,
are exhibited by him in ten different sizes ; and his
"Salamander" stove, suitable for - small shops . ,
wateb-houses, switch•bouses, &e., in four sizes.
It G superfluous to add, that in such &stock no one
who may be in want of Stores or Ranges can well
fail of being suited.
Perpetual 'Motion Attained at Last
If the old Greek who once sprang from his bath
and, in &state of nudity, ran through the streets of
Syracuse exclaiming, "Eureka! Eureka! I have
found it, I have found it," could now be summoned
from the shades of Hades, and sat down in the
streets of Philadelphia, in the vicinity of 704
Chestnut street, the disentombed philosopher
would find in Menu. Wheeler & Wilao.o. , a win
dow a greater incentive to his enthusiasm in
the discovery of Perpetual Motion, which la there
enshrined in sewing machine goddess, to the
great surprise and perplexity of the moat in
genious passers-by, and to the astonishment of
everybody.
This wonderful invention, exhibited in the west
window of Messrs. Wheeler & Wilson's new brown
stone warehouse, No. 704 Chestnut street, has ex
cited the curiosity of everybody, during the past
week, almost to the verge of bewilderment, as it is,
to all appearance, the nearest approach to per
petual motion that has yet been achieved, if, in
deed, it is not that in perfection. Certain it is, that
the motion of the figure, in working one of the
Wheeler. & Wilson machines, ip incessant, and in
watching the operation one hardly knows which
most to admire, the queenly grace of the automaton
lady, the precision and freedom with which she works
the instrument, or the spirit of life and intelligence
which seems to be embodied in and animate the
whole affair. We are proud to be able to state that
the credit of this attractive and meritorious inven
tion, *even to the construction of the exquisite waxen
figure, is due to the genius and skill of a Philadel
phian. We are glad to find, moreover, that the honor
of having first succeeded in the discovery and practi
cal application of Perpetual Motion—which must be
set down as one of the greatest mechanical achieve
ments of the day—is associated with a firm that has
deservedly the reputation all over the world of
having> produced the most perfect labor-saving in
vention of this or any age—we allude to their great
Sewing Machines, which the reader will find in all
the various grades and sizes at their large ware
rooms, No. 704 Chestnut street.
.
O:NE or THE CONDITIONS or YEADE.-I.t
is now &finitely understood that there can be no
peace except by thrashing the rebels into uncondi
tional submission, and that even then the President
will only agree to let them live in the United States on
condition that the people of the " suppressed , ' States
order all their Coal from the great establishment
of Mr. W. W. Alter, of this city, yard Ninth street,
above Poplar. The reason for exacting this is a
humane one. The people of the South have been
shamefully fleeced by their leaders, and it is thought
that one of the surest weps for them to retrieve their
shattered fortunes, is for them to buy their coal
whei e they can get the largest value for their money.
People of shattered fortunes nearer home would do
well to make a Dote of this.

IF IT rrns been hitherto a desideratum to
procure a shuttle or lock-stitch sewing machine
which should make the most perfect work in sli
kinds of material, withAie greatest practicable speed,
and with the least possible expenditure of power,
so simple that a child can use it, and so durable that
years of use will not impair it, the Grover Si Baker
S. M. Co. seem to us to have accomplished this end
in a machine just produced by them. We advise the
progressive and thrifty to examine this machine,
and consider Whether they can any loager afrora to
use the imperfect shuttle or lock-stitch- machines
heretofore in use.
A HARD CA SE.--A. correspondent at Pike's
Peak, writes that the miners are much discouraged,
because they have to dig through a solid vein of
silver four feet thick before they can reach the gold.
They are certainly much to be pitied, and their case
is only paralleled by the individual who has to pass
by half a dozen inferior establishments before he
reaches the Brown Stone Clothing of Rockhill &
Wilson, Noe. 603 and 606 Chestnut street, above
Sixth.
TnE DIFFEP.ENCE. between rising at 5 and
o'clock in the morning, for thespace of forty years,
supposing a man to go to bed at the came time every
night, is nearly equivalent to the addition of ten
years to a man's life, providing a man does not die
any sconer for depriving himself of necessary sleep,
or by spending his extra time in smoking and drink
ing. The difference is as great as between two men,
one of whom saves money by purchasing his clothes
at Granville Stokes', No. GO9 Chestnut street, and
the other does not.
