the P Woss Correspondence
wh od resident .
Mr. FERNANDO WOOD has been supposed
to be a clever politician, but we do not think
he has proved his cleverness by publishing
his correspondence with the President. He
has made a fatal mistake, as all politicians
are apt to do. For months the Democratic
party has been mysteriously hinting of pro
po-
sals for peace, made by the authority of
the leaders of the rebellion, and rejected,
without a hearing, by the
,Government.
Vast is the influence of mystery. A secret,
simply because it is a secret, is all-powerful
with the imagination, and works upon the
minds of men oftentimes more efficiently
than argument. Mr. Woon having a se
cret, had better have kept it. He spoke of a
mountain—he produces a mouse. No, not
even a mouse, but a mouselet—the most in
significant of mice. Had he kept it in con
cealment, certain of us might have yet sup
posed him the fortunate possessor of some
thing of ordinary importance. • Of course,
no one could suppose him the owner of
anything extraordinary, unless it be his own
unequalled audacity. ,
It will be remembered that the President,
in his letter to the. Springfield Contention,
affirmed that the rebel leaders have made
no proposals of peace. Mr. WOOD has re
peatedly affirmed that they have, and we
presume this correspondence is intended to
convince the country that Mr. LINCOLN was
in error when he said :
"Allow me to /tenure you that no word or Wins.
tion from the rebel army, or from any of the men
controlling it, in relation to any peace compromise,
has ever come to my knowledge or belief. All
charges and intimations to the contrary are decep
tive and groundless, and I promise you, that if any
such proposition shall hereafter oome, it shall not
be rejected and kept secret from you."
On the contrary, nothing in the letter con
tradicts Mr. LINCOLN'S positive assertion,
unless it be that Mr. Woon is one of the
"men controlling the rebel army," for the
peace proposals in Mr. WOOD'S letters are
his, and his only. They are dated at New
York, not at Richmond. They are endorsed
neither by JEFFERSON DAVIS, nor Mr. STE
PRENs, nor by any of their companions. Mr.
Woon produces no authority, though he
alludes to one. Like Bairey Camp, he has
his Mrs. Harridye, and the public, like
Betsy Prig, " don't believe there's no sick
person." We defy Mr. GAMY to produce
his authority; we know that, no matter how
extensive his correspondence with traitors
may be, he cannot show that overtures of
peace have been made by any person en
titled to speak for the rebellion. If the
South desired to send representatives to
Congress, it would not treat with this Mr.
GAMY or Woon upon the subject. The gen
tleman flatters himself. It is the only flat
tery he will receive.
Three years ago the United States was at
peace 'with all the world, happy, prosperous,
and united. Suddenly, as a terrible storm
leaps out of the deceitful tranquility of a
tropical sky, the great rebellion burst forth
and plunged the unwilling but indignant
North into fratricidal war. The leaders of
that rebellion declared that their object was
the destruction of the Union ; again and.
again have they assured the 'world that they
would never lay down their arms till they
had secured the independence of the South.
For this they forced fierce war upon the
country, cruelly and unjustly slaying thou
sands of lives, and bringing misery into
thousands of families once happy. All the
loyalty of America arose to defend the Re
on.blic_The,__or_hecam.--oriara-like--aud
au use great interests numamty flung
trembling on the issue. In the midst of this
mighty struggle, little Mr. Frnmastno
WOOD writes a letter to the President, ask
ing him to suspend hostilities, because little
Mr. FERNANDO WOOD is " advised," by
"authority which he deems truthful," that
the rebels will submit to the Government if
the war is stopped ! Who is Mr. Woofs ?
What right has the Government to attach
any national importance to the opinion of
a private citizen? The extreme of imperti
nence and self-esteem is reached by this
fifth-rate politician.
Mr. LINCOLN'S reply has one fault, which,
from the dignity of his office, could not be
avoided—it treats the letter of Mr. WOOD
seriously. Yet, because the President is
serious and candid, answering Mr. Woon
as if his request was not a monstrous ab
surdity, it is the more severe. To consider
a joke with gravity makes it more ridicu
lous. Mr. Luscoms tells his correspondent
that he suspects his information will prove
to be groundless. He declines to interrupt
the war in order that Mr. WOOD'S theories
may be tested, and assures him that lie will
receive any information from him with plea
sure. Nor does he omit to say (what all
the world knows) that peace may be re
stored at any moment which the people of
the Southern States may choose. Mr.
Woon's reply to this assurance is childish ;
he complains that the Southern people can
not submit until the Government "lets them
alone." Let them let the Government alone,
and take their traitorous hands off the Con
stitution. The readers of his second letter
will not fail to observe that he takes no
notice of the President's request that he
should produce his authority for a statement
which flatly contradicts the deliberate words
and actions of the rebel leaders.
.The President could not have replied more
fairly and good-naturedly to such a mon
strous request ; he might, with good reason,
have declined to respond to it at all. But
the correspondence will be-of great good.
It will show the country the unparalleled
audacity of the peace Democrats, who desire
the war suspended for reasons suggested by
an anonymous authority; it reveals the in
teresting fact that Mr. FERNANDO WOOD
has no evidence that the leaders of the re
bellion are anxious to submit to the Govern
ment ; for if he had, would he not haie-pro-'
duced it? It will strengthen. the conviction
of the majority of the loyal people, that,
so far as our present knowledge of the tem
per and purposes of the rebels extends, the
only way to obtain their submission is to en
force it—that while. JEFFERSON Davis con
tinues the rebellion for the destruction of the
Union, Armen/or LINCOLN is bound to
Ptaintain the war for its protection.
Rosecrans and Burnside.
Prom the comparative rest in the opera
tions before Charleston, public attention is
directed to the movements scarcely less im
portant in the neighborhood of Tennessee.
Alter a short pause, in which it has assured
itself, the Army of the Cumberland is again
active. We are informed that, at the re
quest of General ROSEonAns, masses were
said on Sunday last in the cathedrals of
Cincinnati, for the success of this great
army ; and it is supposed that the attack
on. Chattanooga has already, commenced.
The fact we have mentioned is characteristic
•Oi that noble and Christian soldier. Faith
in his own eminent ability and courage, and
the tried valor of his generals and soldiers,
were not sufficient 'without the added favor
of that Supreme Providence which rules the
accidents of warfare, and which, in the
-CauSe o f justice, should be especially re
membered. .
With the capture of Chattanooga, to which
General Bunnsmn's movements are in inti
mate co-operation,?the character of the war
in the West will be radically altered. The
rebellion will have received another vital
blow, and the wdrk yet to be accomplished
in that quarter will be comparatively small.
Bunasmn already possesses Knoxville, and
- will act to cover the left flank of the army
of BOSECRANS, while that General throws
his; right upon Chattanooga. The move
ments of BURNSIDE are of direct relation to
those of ROSZOBANS. Chattanooga is the
one great point whose, capture converts all
•
the others. This once gained, our right
flank will be protected by the Tennessee
river, and a comparatively small force sta
tioned at particular points will be able to
prevent the enemy from crossing. We are
informed that there are not more than three
places from the Georgia to the Virginia line
by which a considerable army could pass
from the South into East Tennessee. Each
of these routes could be defended in the
mountain passes by one thousand men
against, perhaps, a force of thirty thousand.
With the possession of Chattanooga, it is
supposed that the army of ROSECEANs will
really cover the whole line from Decatur,
Ala., to the line of Virginia—a consumma
tion devoutly to be wished.
The capture of Knoxville, by General
BunNSIDE, has been of prime importance to
the operations of the Army of the Cumber
land. 'This event sets free a noble and suf
fering people, long held under the cruelest
tyranny of the rebel military sway. We
also seize the Virginia and East Tennessee
Railroad, the only direct route by which
Virginia can obtain supplies from Alabama
and Mississippi. The other route, by the
Western Atlanta, North Carolina, andißich
mond road, is very circuitous, but even this
will be practically lost in the capture of
Chattanooga. Thus severed at great and
vital points, the hope and despair of the
Confederacy must rest upon LEE. The oc
cupation of Knoxville is a bloodless, but an
invaluable victory, and, its prompt posses
sion is greatly creditable to the enterprise of
General BERESIDE. His march over the
mountain country of Tennessee has been
one of length, difficulty, and celerity, and
may well challenge example. While the
capture of the very important point we have
named is another proof of his energy, its
too-ready relinquishment by the enemy
affords unquestionable evidence of their ex
haustion in the Southwestern campaign.
The Saturday Review.
The Saturday Review, a London weekly
political and literary journal, which cannot
be called a newspaper, inasmuch as it ig
nores intelligence and confines itself to
comment and assertion, is the property of
that Mr. BERESPORD HOPE who lately took
a prominent part in London in getting up a
subscription to pay for a bronze monument
of " Stonewall" JACKSON, to be presented,
by persons calling themselves his English
admirers, to the State of Virginia. The
proposition, we believe, has fallen to the
ground. The committee, which included
many noted, not to say notorious, sympa
thizers with Rebeldom, most probably lost so
heavily by the terrible decline in their fa
vorite Confederate stock that they cannot
afford to pay for the contemplated statue.
Comment on public events and blustering
assertion, when argument falters, are the
stock in trade of the Saturday Review. Its
writers usually affect a philosophical and
logical tone, but this has scarcely continued
to deceive its readers. The paper is mainly
read now because of its " smartness ;" be
cause people desire to see what it says . ; be
cause its platitudes are sometimes startling
and generally amusing. From the inaugu
ration of Mr. Luzcowt to the present time,
it has been the steady advocate of the re
volted South. Latterly, it is true, its anti
pathy to the Union and to Freedom has oc
casionally abated, but these have been in
termittent fits of reason, for it has generally
been a very consistent opponent of the
Right.
We have spoken of the platitudes of this
imposing publication. Let us give a few
examples, which will show what poor stuff
the English public are supplied with by
writers who assume to instruct them. In
an article on " Anglophobia," which is the
leader in the Saturday Review of the 15th of
August, we find the following :
"The furious hatred of Federal America to Eng
land is perhaps the most discreditable instance on
record of a prevailing and malignant delusion ; but
there is, unfortunately, no doubt that it is at present
the dominant feeling of. the North. The complaints
which are founded on the doubtful case of the
Alabama are mere excuses for the gratification of
animosity. The American press was as hostile be
fore a Confederate vessel had sailed from Liverpool,
as in its hundredth reiteration of the false assertion
that the laws of neutrality have been wilfully vio
lated."
..ced."
— The incorrectifearortiffs; requires a reply.
When the Rebellion broke out, the best
feeling existed on the part of the United
States towards England, but, on the other
baud, England was angry and discontented
because, a short time previously, Congress
had deemed it necessary toincrease the Pro
tection given by law to native produce and
manufactures, and therefore had sanctioned
what is called the Morrill Tariff. When Re
bellion reared its crest, English traders and
manufacturers were angry with this tariff,
which they considered likely to diminish
their exports to the - United States. The
affair of the Trent, we believe, preceded the
building and fitting out of the Alabama, in
an English ship-yard and by an English
member of Parliament, to be employed as a
pirate against American ships , and com
merce. This case of the Alabama was not
a doubtful one. It was a positive breach of
the neutrality which was proclaimed in.
Queen VICTORIA'S name. That it was such
a breach, even in the opinion of the British
Government, is established by two tacts :
first; that, though so tardily as to be useless,
the law-officers of the Crown advised the
Alabama to be stopped at Liverpool before
she went to sea, and next, because in the
weaker case of the Alexandra, the British
Government seized the ship and prosecuted
the parties connected with her for violating
the Foreign Enlistment Act. The ill-feeling
of this country towards England was created,
we are free to confess, before the cases of
the Trent or • the Alabama, though it was
aggravated by Lord PArar_unsTorit's bully
ing conduct in the. first instance. It arose
when Lord Joint RUSSELL ) as early as pos
sible after the Rebellion was commenced,
showed an anxious alacrity in acknowledg
ing the rebels as "belligerents." A. few
weeks after the war was commenced by the
fall of Sumpter, RUSSELL did so acknow
ledge the South as " belligerents." In Eu
rope; for the last nine months, the Poles have
been in arms against their Russian oppres
sors. Poland has a noble cause and a stirring
rallying cry. France and Austria, as, well
as England herself, are urging Russia to
grant the Poles the freedom they demand.
Polish valor and patriotiain have kept all
the power of Russia at, bay during nine long
months, but Lord Russ.tat has not yet re
cognized the Poles as " belligerents. " Why?
Because Russia is a great Power, danger
ously close to England, whereas, after the
rebellion set in here, it was conceived that
the distant United States were too much
embarrassed to take notice of the wrong.
Why did RUSSELL hasten to recognize the
"belligerent" States of the South? Why
has he delayed to acknowledge the " belli
gerent" States of Poland?
Again, the Saturday Review gravely in
forms its readers,
“Notwithstanding the mendacious rant of Fede
ral speakers and writers, almost all Englishmen re
gretted and disapproved the secession.” •
This is not very grammatical, and is
wholly untrue. In the House of Commons,
popularly said to contain the collective wis
dom of the British nation; at least one-sixth
of the whole six hund;ed and fifty-eight
members have voted in a manner antago
nistic to our Union and friendly to the
South.
In an article in the same number of the
Saturday Review, on "the Mexican Em
pire," another hand is visible. The author
says
" Whether Mexico is to be an Austrian monarchy,
a Latin empire, or a French dependeney, it will pro
bably be necessary, sooneror later, to deal with the
hostility of the United States. For the present, Fe
deral agitatong will doubtleis attribute the ob
noxious eventto the perfidy, the cowardice, or some
other of the vicious qualities whioh are commonly
attributed to England."
On the contrary, Federal agitators give
NAroxnoN the credit or discredit of having
effected the change in Mexico, and only im
pute to England that Lord PALMERSTON has
been " sold" by his friend at the Tuileries,
and used merely as a cat's.paw. The Re
viewer suggests that "on the return of
peace, it is highly probable that attempts
will be made to overthrow the new Mexican
monarchy ;" and, half in prophecy, adds :
It is evident that no Mexican Government,
even with the ald.of a French contingent,
could stand against the undivided power of
he Federal States."
3 Ina third, ankle t on "Macrioa," take go
viewer frankly admits that "the Federal
victories and the New York riots have, for
the moment, discredited the Democratic
party," and, alluding to a report that the
rebels are threatening to bring a negro army
into the field, adds : "To foreigners, the ex
periment seems dangerous ; but the social
relations of the South are still imperfectly
understood." This is a terrible mistake.
If there be one thing in the South better un
derstood than another, it is precisely what
e the s
no designation of
"social relations."
There is that. But the
bearsheimistake
R ev iewer shows his ignorance of American
affairs, when he says : "The failure of the
conscription, the assertion of independence
by the State of New York, the approaching
meeting of a hostile Congress, might induce
Mr. SEWARD to play the card which he has
long held in reserve." That card being the
declaration of war against England, which
"at present would save Charleston, would
open Wilmington and Mobile, and would
probably transfer the blockade to the Fede.
ral ports." There is no use in wasting ink
upon a writer who wishes such assertions as
these to form part of his argument.
Letters.
We are obtaining quite a pleasant little
collection of letters, and all are interesting,
some instructive, and many amusing. First,
there is Mr. ,CHARLES J. BIDDLE'S address
to the people of Pennsylvania, which, as it
will never be received by them, will probably
be sent to the dead-letter office. Then follows
Mr. Biomes epistle to Mr. N. P. BROWNE,
with the admirable reply of the latter. Gov.
EEMSIOUR'I3 correspondence with Mr. LlN
cols; ought not to be forgotten. To-day we
publish Mr. FERNANDO WOOD'S astounding
letters to the President, in which that merry
young gentleman wants the war stopped,
because he has heard that somebody has
said that the rebel leaders have secretly de
termined to sendßepresentatives to Congress
if the Government will cease winning victo
ries, and consent to be pardoned by JEFF
DAVIS, and repent of its great wickedness,
and be a good boy hereafter. Now, we.want
but one more letter, and that Mr. Justice
WOODWARD can have the pleasure of wri
ting. We wish to read a letter from him—
and we care not if it is five columns in
length—informing the public if he still
thinks that " slavery is an incalculable
blessing;" that " a time must come when
slaveholders may lawfully fall back on their
natural rights, and employ in defence of
their slave property whatever means of pro
tection they possess or can command;" if
he thinks that that time has come, and if he
agrees with Mr. BrnmE that this opinion is
"vindicated by subsequent events as a sig
nal exhibition of statesmanlike sagacity."
We desire to know if he continues to believe
"the South should be permitted to go
peaceably." Will the Honorable GEORGE
W. WOODWARD write this letter, and make
the collection complete?
THERE IS one great argument for the re
election of Governor CURTIN, which the
Union men of Pennsylvania should not for
get. His fitness for the high office for which
the people of the State have nominated him
has been proven. He is not a new man, of
whom - we might say, "We trust he will be
worthy of the trust of loyal citizens," but
a man tried by the weightiest of responsi
bilities, of whom we can affirm, he IS wor
thy, and no one worthier.
TiE AMERICAN 'PEOPLE Will pardon
much in any public man if he is only candid.
Mr. Justice Woonwivan, doubtless,, trusted
in this forbearance when he made his bold
speech in defence of the South, December
18th, 1860. Dare he trust in it now ? Will
the disloyal words then_uttered be repeated
by him during this campaign? Is he brave
enough to say again, "Let the South go
peaceably ?"
FOR COMMENT on 32T. Justice WOOD
.
WARD'S inhuman assertion, that "slavery
is an incalculable blessing," - consult the
opinions Of JOHN WESLEY, THOMAS JEF
FERSON, GEORGE WASEONGTON, and all the
civilized nations of Europe. If you wish to
find approving authorities, read the Rich
mond Examiner s and the arguments of his
GOVERNOR BAAMLETTE asks, what are
we to do with the negroes ? Anything but
make slaves of them. No matter how diffi
cult the problems of humanity may be, they
cannot be solved by injustice.
ON SATURDAY EVENING a very fine the
atrical entertainment will be given at the
Academy of Music for the berl.efit of the
Sanitary Commission, and not only the object
but the character of the performance should
insure it a grand success. Miss CHARLOTTE
CUSHMAN, too much a stranger to our stage,
will appear, for the first time since her return
from Europe, as Lady Macbeth, with Mr.
EDWIN BOOTH as Macbeth. Mr. JOHN S.
CLARKE, who has the management of the
enterprise; will also appear in one of his
best personations. It is not often that three
such artists tread the stage together, and we
doubt not their genius, will make the occa
sion memorable.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING.
The Democrats in this State are playing a sharp
game, and are using 'all means to sweep the unwary
into their net. And the players are looking not so
much at the present campaign, in which tffey cannot
hope for success, as to the coming Presidential can
vase. The nominations made by the State Convert.
tion of last Thursday show how carefully they have
spread the,net to catch all who may stray from the
ranks of their opponents. Of the six candidates
nominated for State offices, but two have ever acted
with the party before, and those two are the candi
dates for the inferior office. of State Treasurer'and
Auditor. The greater part of the honors are lavished
upon men who publicly announced that they had
never before been in a Democratic Convention, in
the trope that they may lead others in the same
'way ; and the old-lifie Democrats were the more
ready to deny themselves the honor of candidate
ship, since experience bad proved that it would be
impossible for them to be elected.
But the Copperhead' have been more careful of
their own interests in the choice of delegatasto the
National Convention. Four were chosen, and three
are the beet specimens, of toselle that the party sf.
fords ; they are men who never had a thought of
any duty beyond. that of supporting the Democratic
party. The fourth, Judge - Abbott, of Boston, is one
of the new men, but he was a member of the Pets
pies party last fall, and showed such a, hearty
hatred of Senator Sumner that the Democrats have
admitted him at once into full communion.
The resolutions adopted by the Convention are
but a feeble imitation of the Seymour platform, and
the main points of the Copperhead catechism are
passed over without discussion, while Secession is
considired in a lengthy "resolve in which words
weakly supply the place of ideas. With this non
committal confession of faith, and candidates of
whine political acts in former times no Republican
can complain, they hope to roll up a vote in this
State which shall give their delegates in the Nei
tional Convention (whose quality I have already
mentioned) a position and influence which Massa
chusette Democrats have not lately enjoyed.
WILL THEY SUCCEED?
No question is easier answered than this. They
will not. The Republicans will enter the field on
the 26th of September, and renominating Governor
Andrew, will sweep the field this fall as they have
always done before. Some of the Copperhead pa
per" are circulating hints that the Republicans are
not satisfied with Governor Andrew, and that bar
gains are being made to sell him out at the Conven
tion, but they are unworthy of consideration. No
doubt there are some men who would like the nomi
nation, but unless the Governor should positively
decline (which he will not do) he will receive the
nomination. the thoroughly honest and impartial
administration of his office has increased the num
ber of his friends all through the State; and they will
reelect him, probably, as long as the war continues,
and after that it is not impossible that John A. An
drew may represent Massachusetts in the Senate of
a reunited nation.
The summer vacation., with which all our city
people indulge Themselves, are but just now closed,
and probably the active work of the campaign will
not commence here until the first of next mouth.
THE CAMPAIGN 1N MAINE.
The approaching election in Maine has called many
of our prominent Republican speakers to that State,
and they are doing good service. General Busteed,
of New York, addressed the Union men of Portland,
last week, to their great delight, and will visit other
parts of the State. Among the Democratic speakers
is Hon. Henry . W. Paine, who has: just received the
Democratic nomination_for Governor of this State
He is a former citizen of Blaine, and goes back
I there to try the effbct of his political dogmas before
announcing the position he will take here in the
coming canvass. -

a short time, and several thousand have been sent

closer to Fort Wagner. Last night was the quiet

EVACUATION OF KNOXVILLE.
"It was stated yesterday morning by a city totem
porary that Knoxville was evacuated by our troops
last Monday, and occupied on the following day by
the forces of the enemy. We do not know, upon
what authority the statement was based, and are
unable to learn anything in confirmation of it.
"If true, the natural presumption would be that
the withdrawal of our troops was a strategic move,
and it would not be fair to pass judgment upon it
before we know what the strategy is, and what the
result. We need not say that the permanent occupa
tion of Knoxville by the enemy would be a heavy
blow to us, and we cannot believe that it is intend
ed to allow this. Further intelligence from that
point and Chattanooga is awaited with anxiety."
" CiAnfass•rarr, Sept. 3.—About 2 o'clock on
Monday morning, as the steamer Sumner was
transporting parts of the 23d Georgia, 61st North
Carolina, and 26th South Carolina Regiments from
one position in thin harbor to another, she was fired
at by one of the batteries on Sullivan's Island,
owing to a misapprehension of her character, and
several soldiers were immediately killed. Others
took to the water. and it ii feared that some of them
were drowned. The greater body of them were,
however, got Into a position of safety."
The Riclimurnd Enquirer of the 7th instant contains
the fellowing:
CHARLESTON, Sept. s.—To-day haa witnessed
another furious bombardment of Forts Wagner and

FORT OFIBSON' t Indian Territory, August 29, via
Leavenworth, Sept. 6.—General Blunt, with his
army, forty-flve hundred strong, including twenty
pieces of artillery, crossed the Arkansas river on
the 22d, and offered battle to the rebel Generals
Steele and Cooper, who had massed on his front
11,000 men. After a faint show of resistance the
enemy commenced a retreat, which soon turned into
a disorderly flight. They abandoned all their pro
perty.
Blunt pursued them a hundred miles south of the
Arkansas, to Perryville, which is only fifty miles
from the Red river. At this point he captured and
destroyed their commissary depot. They continued
their flight to Boggy GO; on Red river.
The Indian Territory is now clear of rebels. Blunt

Orre'Prelmocie, Sept. 45.—Although the armies are

early engagement, Mit a slighteause may bring it on
at any moment. Our artillery at Driver's Ferry
opened on the enemy at six o'clock this morning,
for the purpose of ascertaining the strength of the
position of the 'enemy's batteries. They responded
promptly, and for half an hour a lively artillery duel
was kept up without injury to our side. The dis
cipline and health of the army are very line. The
troops are in the best spirits. Nothing has been
beard from Gen. Buckner's command. The wea-
ther is clear and warm.
[ANOTHER DESPATCH.]
ATLANTA, Sept. '7.—A special despatch to the

ST. Lours, Sept. B.—A. special despatch to the
Democrat, dated Leavenworth, Sept. 7th, states that
the excitement which has prevailed in Kansas since
the Lawrence massacre has subsided, and in its
place has come a determination, terribly in earnest,
to avenge that fearful act. There seems to be no
confidence in Gen. Schofield. A few days ago Gen.
Lane and O. A. Wilder sent a telegram to the Pre
sident saythg that the incompetency of Schofield
was deplorable, and unless there was an immediate
change of commanders there would be danger of a
conflict between the people and the military. The
reply of the President did not indicate his policy.
Gen. Schofield's order, No. 92, has only intensified
the popular feeling.
The meeting at Paoli tomorrow will probably be
the largest ever held in the State. Parties are
going thither in wagons, with arms and rations,
from all parts of the State. They will not go into
Missouri if the military show any disposition to
drive the rebels from the infected district. Quan.
trel and Orizarabar are about thirty miles from
Kansas city with a largely increased force. The
$200,000 in cash taken out of Lawrence has given
him glory and recruits, and his numbers have swot
lenfrom 200 to 1,200. In Leavenworth, Wyandotte,
Paoli,} and Osawattomie, the icitizens are under
arms, and all the towns are nightly guarded by citi
zen.patrols. The military is no longer d,ependel on.
The Hon. Thos. A. Osborn, Lieutenant Governor,
Will probably preside at the Paoli meeting. A plat
form of the most radical character will, be adopted,
the removal of Echofield and Ewing demanded, and
a departtnent for Kansas asked, for common cause
will be made with the EmancipatlonietsoNfliesouri,
and a committee appointed to go to Washington
With the Missouri committee. The people of Kan
sas will not rest until Schofield is removed, and a
man placed in command who, instead of being
praised by one faction and condemned by 'the other,
will receive the applause of all loyal men and the ha
tred of the rebels. •

The Battle near Bayou ltletoe,
Blummus, Sept. 3.—By the arrival of the Progreso
advice. from Bayou /nape to the 29th and Duval's
Bluff.to the Slit ult. have been received.
Gen. Davidson, with artillery and cavalry, num
bering about 8,000 men, moved from Brownsville,
and on the 27th met the pickets of the enemy at a
place on Bayou Pdetoe known as Bayou htetoe
Bridge. The force of rebels was estimated at about
;OW, posted on an eminence quite difficult to access,
which commanded the main road to the bridge, over
which Gen. Davidson intended to move.
It was soon apparent to Gen. Davidson that in
order to gain that point the enemy must first be dis
lodged from his position. Heavy skirmishing con
tinued till towards night, when both armies ceased
firin -
The
casualties, owing to the distrince between the
contending armies, were light. Our loss in killed
and wounded did not exceed twenty.flve men.
During, the night General Davidson placed his
guns in position, and early on the morning of the
29th they commenced their work of destruction.
It took but a few rounds to satiety the rebel general
commanding, of the futility of attempting to hold
his position. Our boys poured grape and shell
among the rebel! with such impetuosity that before
the middle of the day they commenced falling back,
and before sunset not a butternut soldier, save pri
soners, was on the north and east side of Ba
you Metoe. As soon as the rebels had gained
the opposite side, the torch was put to the
bridge, and it was soon consumed. The rebel
loss in that brilliant fight was three hundred prison
ers, and one hundred killed and wounded, many of
whom were left. on the field. Our loss is about
thirty:nine killed and wounded. The health of the
army is fair. General Steele was at Duval% Bluff
on, the lath ult. Most of the infantry and artillery
were at Bayou lifetoe.
General Davidson, having no means of crossing,
could, of course, pursue no further, but was waiting
at the time Captain Sweat left (on Monday morn
ing), for General Steele, who was advancing with
his infantry and trains to the bridge.
Capt. Sweat thinks there will be no great battle
fought for at least ten days or two weeks.
Recent Operations of the Fleet near
Charleston.
Ceorresuondet co of the Tribune
FLAG. SHIP PRILADELPHLA., Monday, August 31.
Yesterday we had two funerals aboard the flag-ship,
the fleet printer and the coxswain of the Admiral's
barge, who, as I told you before, had his leg broken
by the bursting of a hand grenade.
This morning considerable speculation was aroused
by the appearance of a rebel craft moving slowly
down the channel. .Information of the fact was con.
veyed by the quartermaster on deck to the signal
officer, and to the fleet captain, Oscar O. Badger,
chief of stair. . She was reported as bearing a deg of
truce, but with our glasses from the flag-ship we
were unable to diatinguich it. By order of Oaptain-
Badger, the monitor Weehawken was ordered to get
under way, and bre Ironeides signaled in case the
strange - vessel bore a flag of truce to oblige her to
communicate with the blockading fleet outside.
"In case she does not bear a flag of truce I" was
the question asked.
"Then Commander Rowan will know how to deal
with her," was the brief reply, characteristic of the
man.
. Mr. Win. Havarde, fleet-pilot, was then sent
aboard the Weehawken, and shortly afterward she
was reported under way.
At the distance seen from the darkship she ap
peared very much like a monitor, and some supposed
her to be the Nantucket. Others thought her some
small craft sent down for the purpose of removing
the buoys. Nothing has yet been heard from her.
We have now six monitors, and are looking hour.
ly for the Catskill from Port Royal. The names of
the six are: Weehawken, Captain Calhoun; Passaic,
Captain Simpson; Nahant. Captain John Downs;
Montauk, Captain Davis ; Patapsco, Captain Thos.
H. Stevens; Lehigh, Captain Bryson.
The Lehigh. This monitor, which arrived here
yesterday from New York, has sundry improve•
menus over the others. Ido not know exactly what
these are, but they are said to be very valuable ad
ditions.
The Ironsides is the most formidable,appearing
vessel I have ever seen. Nothing could be loon
ceiv ed of more grim and warlike. She is certainly a
success, in spite of her being rmwieldly. Her arma
ment is very heavy, and the shutters to her port
holes close at the recoil of her guns, Her com
mander is Capt. Rowan, one of the ablest officers of
the fleet.
The weather at present is anything but encou
raging to operations here. Perhaps on no other
portions of our coast is it more changeable than
along the coasts of North and South. Carolina.
Here, also, fevers prevail, and the seed, of fever
are sown in the body to develop at some future day.
Dahlgren's heal th is by no means good. The doe
tor visited him this morning. He appears pale, and
his physical strength much exhausted. Hie mind,
however, is vigorous and active, grasping every do.
tail of business connected with the fleet. I trust
that his tither, is but temporary, and that a few
days will see him completely recovered.
The entire dearth of news here at present renders
it necessary to repeat the stale and uninterestipg
cry of "nothing.new." The people North must be
quite tired of hearing it ; but they have been too
sanguine, too expectant of results here. The work
is gigantic, and must be accomplished slowly and
patiently or by a bold and sudden strokeof strategy.
2 P. M.—The Weehawken and the Montauk,
rent up to assist the former, have both returned.
The character and mission of the vessel spoken of at
the beginning of this letter is wrapped in mystery.
At any rate who was sunk by Fort Moultrie. Rs
versed(' were found floating in the water marked
"Army of Tennessee." Here is a riddle ; geese it
who can. The two monitors engaged Battery Gregg,
and for upwards of an hour a brisk artillery duel
was sustained, Fort Moultile participating. Nei
ther of our vessel, was struck, the shots from the
land falling generally short of the mark. The da
mage inflictecrby the monitors of course cannot be
estimated. -
The reconnoissance developed one foot—that the
.wall of Fort Sumpter facing Moultrie is as Perfect
as ever it was. lam told, upon good authority, that
five casemate guns are in position.
4 P. N.—All the monitors except the Lehigh and
the Montauk are engaging Battery Gregg and Fort
Moultrie. The cannonading is very heav - tw Seve.
ral of the monitors have been struck, but, as a
general thing, the tiring of both fort and battery is
exceedingly wild.
5 30 P. M—The cannonading has ceased, and the
monitors are returning. Some injury was done to

cruised about off' Tucker Reck Light. We went
out of the channel, and outside. In chasing four or
five vessels on the 22d, we succeeded in capturing
the American ship Anglo-Saxon, bound from Liver
pool for New York. We stripped her of what was
necessary, and then set fire to her. We stood off
from a thousand to a thousand and two hundred
yards from her (as much for practice as sinking. her
speedily). There were two or three vessels in sight
at the time. We brought the crew to this port.

A Massachusetts Soldier on the " Demo-
cracy.”
The Massachusetts "Democracy," like their allies
in other States, have no sympathy at all to spare on
the country's defenders. In their late Convention at
Worcester, it will be remembered that a crippled
soldier, who had been sent by .a war constituency,
undertook to plead for the adoption of a war plat
form for the party, but was at once put down, the
Convention refusing utterly to bear what he had to
say. The soldier, however, has found another chan
nel of communicating his views, which he presents
in the following, published by the Springfield Repub.
/ken of Monday :
"As a consistent Democrat all my life, I went to
. • ti&knitiaceintia l tnjir . ear he
principle of free speech, which is what they have
been clamoring for since this war broke out, for
Vallandigham and others of his stamp. I waited
at that Convention until all the prominent candi
dates made speeches. They did not make one allu
sion to the support of the war.' I thought thst aome
older member would offer his protest against voting
for a man who was not wi hlng to support our soldiers
in the field.' As a Democrat, Ido not approve of all
the policy of the present Administration. If we do
not like the Administration, there is a time and a
place to get rid of them ; that is at the ballot-box in
November, 1864.
" Who is the man that can deny that a cruel war is
carried on in the land I and the only way to get rid
of it is to drive the rebels into the Gulf of Mexico
or some other place. They would accept no peace
to.morrow, if we offered it to them ' without Mary
land and other loyal States. My peace would be to
give them some of Gen. Gilmore's 300. pounders.
When a Democratic Convention, which claims free
speech for everybody, denies it to one of its own
members, I cannot believe they mean it. There
fore, I will not have anything more to do with them.
I am neither an Abolitionist nor a Copperhead, but
a war Democrat, who wants to see this rebellion
crushed out at whatever cost.
By publishing this and Pending me a copy or it
you will confer a fayor on a cripple soldier.

"Much thought and reflection, much conscien

to the study of the character. To say that we agree
with the`actor in all be did and said, in the course
of his _interpretation would be going too far. To
aver that, in the im personation as a whole, we
found much that was all the better for what Mr.

but to state the real truth. We have never seen it

to describe him rsactly—
"This is mere madness,
And thus awhile the fit will work on him;

When that her golden couplets are dimelosed,

"Now,. we thank Mr. .Forrest for coloring the

Horatio, with the Player Sing, with the Clown in the

Union assembled-in Masonic Hall, last evening, to
hear an address from Hon. W. D. Kelley. of Phila-
delphia. Hon. Wm. F. Johnston presided, assisted
by Messrs. Jackson Duncan, Henry Lambert, and
others. The arguments of Judge Kelley made a
marked impression upon the large audience present,
and will be used with telling effect against the Cop
perheads during the present campaign. The frequent
and hearty applause attested a keen appreciation of
the more prominent points which were made by the
learned Judge,. and his masterly exposure of the
weak sophist ries and, deceptive issues of the so
called Democratic leaders was keenly relished b
every loyal hearer.—Pin burg GazeUe, Sept ..6.
Onrruany.—The painful intelligence-of the death
Of Purviance wan received in this city yeiter
day morning. Helvas killed at Morris Island, S. CL,
an Sunday morning, August 30th, by the explosion
of a shell. He had. been in command of the 85th
P. V. Regiment for many months. He was among
the first to offer his services in defence of his coun
try at the breaking out of the war. - He entered as a
private with the three -months men. At the end of
that time he raised a company in Washington
county. and went with it as its captain, bat he
quickly evinced such military ability that he was
promoted to the position he held when killed. Col.
Pur clones bad been in some sixteen battles. and
was severely wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks.
Thus ends his brief but brilliant military career. He
was one of the editors and proprietors of the Wash

Emancipation in Maryland
firm the Cumberland Civilian and Telegraph.]
Early in the summer we informed our readers that
one of the moat important subjects that would claim
their attention during the fall campaign would be
that of emancipation.. It is now made manifest.
The nomination of the Hon. H. H. Goldiborough,
and Wm. L. W. Seabrook, by the Union League
Convention, is based upon the subject of emancipa
tion and the call of a State Convention, to both of
which measures we give our hearty and unequivo•
cal support. We do this because we believe the ma
terial interests of Maryland will be greatly ad
vanced by their success. We are aware that some
who claim to be devotedly attached to the preserva
tion of the Government, and are anxious for the
speedy and complete suppression of the rebellion,
are opposed to the discussion, at this time, of what
they are pleased to term side issues, and especially
to the subject of emancipation; claiming, as they
do, that the war has completely doomed slavery in
Maryland, at least, if it has not in the entire slave
holding States; and that, therefore, as the agitation
of emancipation in the State would have a tendency
to destroy the harmony and break up the unity of
the Union party, it should not be insisted upon at
this time.
Granting to theft gentlemen all honesty for their
views, we must beg leave to differ from them in
toto, The views of those who desire to rid Mary
land of slavery by proper constitutional and loyal
enactments, is that loyal men--slaveholders who, in
view of the certain destruction of this interest by
the war inaugurated by the traitors, have stood up
unflinchingly for their country, should not lose all
they possess of slave property, but should be to a
certain extent Indemnified for the loss to which the
rebels have subjected them by the depreciation and,
perhaps, entire loss of all they possess .of the de
scription of property referred to. If there is no
thing donc—no legal measure adopted by which
their slaves can be manumitted and they indemni...
fled, and the same spirit of stampeding is carried
on that is now in progress, by the time the war. is
over, slavery may indeed cease to exist in the State,
and loyal slavehoiders will be in the same category
with the disloyal, for both will have lost their
slaves. This the Emancipatkiniate wish to prevent.
That we are not mistaken as to the probable exodus
of the entire slave population from our State, it is
only necessary to refer to what is daily taking place
in our midst, as chronicled by the journal of our
State. We quote the following, which have recent
ly appeared:
STAMPEDE OF SLAVES
Almost every day we hear of a new stampede of
slaver( in our county. Indeed, so frequent have
they become of late that no surprise or comment is
excited thereby.. Our people seem to have settled
into a state of apathy, and indifference upon the
subject. The latest case we have beard of came off
on Sunday night last. Some fifteen or more negroea
(men, women, and children,) belonging to persona
residing in and near Cedar Point Neck, absconded
that night, and breaking open a barn tot& oat a
large fiatbottomed boat which theY carried to the
creek and thus made their escape. One gentleman,
we understand, lost on this occasion eleven Of his
negroes. During the past week not less than fifty
negroes from this vicinity have run off, and in
several eases masters have been left without hands
to work and secure their growing trope.—Port To
bacco Times.
ANOTHER STAMPED& OF SLAVES
Within the past week a large number of slaves
have absconded from different parts of this county,
our own neighborhood contributing, to some extent,
to the exodus. At the rate to which this thing has
been going on for some time past, our county must
soon be drained of this species of population.—Rock.
yule Sentinel.
Now, in view of such startling facts as the above,
is it now madness in the owners of slave property
to oppose a system of emancipation which will se
cure to them at least a small portion of the interest
they have in such property t Such is our view on
the subject. Independently, therefore % of the great
advantages which we think will certainly inure to
the State from the abolishment of the slave institu
tion, we advise and counsel our fellow-slavenolders
to give to this emancipation project their hearty
support
SOUTHERN SHOE MERCHANTS SETTLING
Two or three oboe dealer/ from Nashville, Tenn.,
are in Boston, this week, trying to adjust their in
debtedness. One of them has settled outright at 90
mita on the dollar, and the others are paying 60 to
60 per cent. on their accounts.—aos and Leather Re

LECTURE AT HORTICULTURAL HALL.—
A lecture was delivered at eight o'clock last eve
ning at the room of the Horticultural Society, south
west corner of Broad and Walnut streets. The lec
ture was prepared by Professor James C. Booth, and
delivered by Mr. Harrison. Its subject was the pre
eervation of food. In the course of its remarks it
stated that many practical men greatly underrate
the value of chemistry, but the chemist can prove
that chemistry will inevitably play an important
part in cultivating the products of the soil. Horti
culture deals almost exclusively in organic life. The
soil performs important functions in the growth
of plants. The art of modifying their growth
so as to obtain this or that vegetable prin
ciple, contained in the leaf, root, stein, or fruit,
in greater quantity and of better quality, is an
art as yet in embryo. There is a great void in the
application of chemistry which only time can till
up. Oxalic acid is now wholly made from mo
lasses, and essential oil of mustard has been made
artificially. Oil of turpentine has been changed into
agreeable oil of lemons'; bituminous coal vies In its
productive distillation with the modern vegetable
kingdom. Chemists have made alcohol from coal •
gas, and the fire thus used has transferred its proper
ties to what is called liquid fire. The dyes recently
made from coal indicate that indigo blue will, at no
distant date, emerge from the laboratory quite as
perfect .as the indlgofcra. The South Ameri
can Cinchona fruits will not be wasted. Qui
nine will be supplied to the medical profession
by the manufacturing chemist. There are two
modes in which the products of organic life, des
tined
for food, may be preserved unaltered; or nearly
so, for a lengthened period of time.. Since chemical
action is only exerted on particles in motion, the
liquid state is most favorable, and hence the germs
of plants offer a medium for the energies of decom
posing chemical action. Decomposition also takes
place by a internal change in organized matter, by
fermentation, putrefaction, mould, etc.
. ... • • • : •
edam....s.srby-the exclusion
o s e • and, artien the moisturele
The first mode has been used from the earliest times,
though it has only recently received an impetus.
The patent of Masson, as contained among the
English reports of patents, for November 12th, 1550,
gives a more detailed view of the process. Its main
operations are evaporating water by artificial heat,
and compressing it into a small bulk, and compress
ing it into so compact a mass that the air in the in
terior of the chemical charge can only afflict the sue.
face of a mass of organic matter.
The dried fruit was first used in the Crimean war,
as a reliable article of diet for the soldier, by the
Russians and the allies. Delafield's Report on the
Art of War in Europe, 1804-'59-'5O, specifies some
details. The French were supplied with '2,894,020
pounds avoirdupois, exclusive of hospital supplies,
and the proportions were: Dried vegetables, 424,600;
compressed vegetables, prepared by Ottollet, 752,180 ;
conserve of beef, 6118,140. Total, 3,947 net tons.
Of the conserve, 888,800 pounds were in powder, or
finely ground gelatine. At Choliet's the vegetables
were cut into thin slices, dried by heat, and com
pressed. The second method to preserve food is
with its moisture. Mould is p plant of fungous cha
racter, and operates strongly in decomposition.
Decomposition may be prevented in two ways,
either by nesting the substance in a large vessel
and boiling, or nearly so, and then transferring it
while hot to glass or stoneware jars, or tin oases,
which are immediately sealed, or by putting the
substance, with sufficient liquid, water. or syrup
directly into the jars, closing them aiptight, and
then beating the jars in a water-bath. The latter
is the most certain method. At the close of the
lecture some specimens of ground artichokes, for
frying, leeks, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, pota
toes, etc. such as were used in the Crimean War,
were exhi
bited. A committee, consisting of Messrs.
McGowan, Hagner, and Price, was appointed to re
port upon them. Alter the appointment of this
committee the meeting adjourned,
AFFAIRS AT THE NAVY YAWL—Matters
and things in general at this noted spot aresexceed
ingly brisk and worthy of notice. The men em
ployed are kept constantly at work pushing things
forward as fast -as possible. The .two-turreted
monitor Tonawanda is progressing as rapidly as
might be expected in the construction of a vessel
so large and strong as this one is destined to be.
The gunboat Kansas, although previonsly an
nounced to be launched on Saturday next, is not as
yet completed, neither is it known when it will be
launched, as no orders have been received to that
elfret by those through whose hands the order must
pass. The gunboat Yantis ; in the lower ship-house,
is also advancing to a shape of completion, but it
may be some time before she will be ready to be
launched. The prize steamer Calypso was taken
otr the dry-dock yesterday morning, and hauled
alongside of the Galena, in the south dock. The
Keystone State, Wachusett and State of Georgia,
are attached to the main pier, and the Monticello
to Merrick & Son's wharf. The following vessels
are at anchor in the stream : Reoeislog- ship Pince
ton, gunboats Mertedita, Bermuda, and the Poo*.
hontaa. The majority of the latterts crew were
landed, with their baggage, yesterday afternoon, at
Washington.atreet wharf, their term of service
having expired.
GUNBOAT ITASCA.—This gallbOst, which
recently arrived from the Mississippi squadron,
was yesterday placed upon the dry-doek of Simpson
& Neill, at ristian street wharf. She will under
go a thorough overhauling. The vessel was struck
a number of times during the attack upon Forts
Jackson and Philip. Eight shot-holes are visible
In the hull on the starboard side of the vessel, one
of which passed within a few feet of the machinery;
two balls also passed through the smoke-stack.
One shot struck her on the port bow, six and a half
feet below the waterline. The concussion from
this shot was so strong, after passing through that
depth of water, as to start the nails of the copper
sheathing, and also drive a bolt about five inches
out on the other side, if this shot had struck fif
teen feet towards the stern she would have sunk.
Several of our naval officers who examioest the
effect of this shot state that they never heard - hi or
saw a ball that did as much damage so far distant
beneath the surface of the water as the one just
mentioned. The bottom of the vessel has been
scraped in several places, from striking some of the
Snags that abound in the Mississippi river.
ABRITAL.—The Ist Delaware battery
left New York at 83; o'clock yesterday morning and
arrived in this city late in the afternoon. They ,
were ordered to that city from Washington in order
to help quiet any riot that might take place during
the continuance of the draft. They were quartered
at Castle Garden. The battery is from Delaware
and numbers one hundred and thirty men, and six
pieces of 3-inch rifled cannon. After partaking of a
substantial meal prepared for their accommodation
by the 'Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, they
took the Philadelphia, Wilmington, aid Baltimore
Railroad cam for Washington. The battery is un
der the command of the following officers : cantata,
Benjamin Neil& ; first lieutenants, Thomas Porter
and Charles Rumford ; second lieutenants, E. Sharp
lees and William Lee,
DISHONEST Doldsnc.—A woman, who
gave her name as Margaret Buchanan, was ar
raigned last evening, at the Central Station, by De
tective Henderson, on the charge of the larceny of
gut The defendant was employed as a domestic
in ihe family of Mr. Fullerton, t ry Seen and
Spruce streets. After living there fouda, she
disappeared suddenly, and so did the money. There
were two twenty-dollar gold pieces taken. The ac
culled exhibited two mush coin to parties in Welt
Philadelphia on the day of or day after the rob
bery. She was committed.
SLOOP-OF-WAR " SURNALTDOAIL "—The
'Steam sloop-of war "Shenandoah," recently con
structed at the Philadelphia navy yard, left the port
yesterday afternoon at f•past 2 o'clock, and pro
oeeded down the river. er destination is not posi
tively known, although it is rumored that ahe is
bound for Wilmington, N. O. The principal points
of this vessel have been previously described, and,
therefore, iris useless to repeat them.
ROBBERY.-011 Monday afternoon a house
situated at No. 1836 Hamilton street was entered by
some young lads and robbed of a small amount of
money and several expensive sets of jewelry. They
effected an entrance by way of the third story,
through an unoccupied house next door. The police
'should be on the look out for such youthful bur
glars.
