Ett V,ress. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 113, 1_863 Mme - We can take no notice of anonymous commn. alcations. We do not return rejected manuscripts. Or Voluntary correspondence solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When Used, it will be paid for. Charleston and Chattanooga. Qur expectations are at last realized, and in good time, although many weeks have elamed since the second attack on Charleston commenced. The announce ment in the newspapers of Richmond that Monis Island has been evacuated does not admit of doubt, and only of felicita tion. The sappers and miners of the na tional army had approached so close to Bat tery Wagner as to render that once baffling stronghold no longer tenable ; and though an, assault by a portion of our forces, which landed near Battery. Gregg, failed to capture this fort, the enemy wisely foresaw the inex orable event of affairs on Morris Island, and abandoned, not a moment too soon, what they could not keep. General Gth- DIOBE BOW occupies Ctimming's Point, where our army, in the words of our rebel authority, is "in full view of Charles ton."—a sight not unwholesome or inglo rious, and certainly the best that'Charles ton has seen for an age. Fort Sumpter, 'though ruined, is still unsurrendered; but its capture is now mainly. of ideal import ance, iiridn matter of military indifference. To AdmiraVDA:Lortnarq's demand for .its surrender, BiATJBEGARD'S reply is pert but not inapt : we can have it when we get it. Admiral VAHLGREN can reserve his retort till Charleston is taken. In the meanwhile, Morris Island has been won. The work before us has beopm more defined, and the end more aseured. Cieneral . ROSIWBANS has occupied Chat tanooga! The despatch which brings us this important news, announces it to be " another death-blow to the rebellion." While we think More than one death - blow superfluous, we acknoWleclge the real truth of this telegraphic exaggera tion Chattanooga is the central Point from which the rebel power domineered over all Eastern . Tennessee, and reached out in raids into Kentucky. It was a first- . class position and its possession was of the greatcSt importance to the enemy ; los ing it, the rebellion has lost another Stale, and must, in the end, abandon Alabama Its evacuation is proof added to proof of the. weakness and demorali zation of the rebel armies. Nowhere in 'the" West dare they withstand our on -ward march; they cannot risk a battle they have no safety saye- in retreat. It is great news, this of the unopposed 'oc cupation- of the great stronghold, far bet ter than would have been that of its conquest by a victory. Where now is the hope of the Confederacy ? Not in the power of its ONVII. arms. The long night of doubt has passed, and the glo rious sun-burst of victory brightens these eternal skies which arch above the future '4l)f the Union. The Reunion Of 4 6 tile Demoerae3Ml There was a meeting in the city of New , York a few days ago, at the St. Nicholas Hotel, which is hardly important enough. to I be remembered, but still too suggestive to I be 'forgotten. It purported to be a meeting of the Lriends of DOUGLAS and the friends of I BRECETNRIDGE, for the purpose, it Wll6 said, of restoring harmony to the party, and I smOking the pipe of peace over all past troubles. The character of this meeting may be inferred frdm the fact that Pennsyl vania was represented by THOMALR___Es-n_..., VAUX, JOSIAH. RANDALL, - and R. J. HALDEMAN% Mr. RANDALL having given a hall century of his life to the defence of Whiggery, and seven- years to the service of Democracy, was welcomed and cherished as an ora cle. THOMAS B. FLORENCE is said to be editing a newspaper in Washingtcin, and is, we believe, engaged in the claim business, and having a few days' leisure from troubling the. Government for favors, wisely concluded 'that it Could not be more profitably spent than over the chain - pagne of Mr. BELMONT and Mr. SerrELL. As Mr. FLORENCE did everything for the' South but take up arms in its rebellion, he of cause was fully competent to speak' in behalf of the Breckinridge Democracy of Pennsylvania. E. B. Sorm.auLx is one of those pure and high-minded men who deem virtue its own reward, and whose patriot ism found no reward from an ungrateful re public but Fort Lafayette. Mr. - V.,iux is the same glorious RICHARD ton whose sil-- ver tones thbusands have hung with rap ture, and over whose ambrosial locka the Young and. Fair have sighed, in unspeak able admiration.. As' for Mr. HALDEMAN, helms been serving his country in Paris as effectively as he served the cause of Doll- GT..As in his State of Pennsylvania. Alto gether, these representatives from our State folded a charming company, and fully re presented what is now known as the Demo cl atic party of Pennsylvania. - We do not see that anything was done by these delegates, although, as may be inferred iron the character of the gentlemen pre sent, many speeches were made. Iqux, and RANDALL, and SCHNAI3LE BOORS, and Mr. FLORENCE moved the adjournment ; but what - was F.,aid by these gentlemen can never be known, as the reporters were not permitted to be present. As it is beyond the power of any reporter to do justice to Mr. Vaux, the deprivation in -his case is -not so great, for we - have Rim= among us always, and, like a bird of gorgeous plumage, he is tole seen and not heard. Scuwanix and RANDALL, however, are human, and we have much curiosity to know what was said. They spoke for the Democracy of Penn sylvania, and we are anxious to know what they said in behalf of our good old State. We are . anxious to know what terms were- .offered, and what condi tions . were exacted, and in what manner the Douglas Deniocracy of Pennsylvania are to be taken and bound hand and foot, and deliVered over to the friends of joint C. BRECEINRIDGE in New York. What were the terms of reconciliation? In whet way were the principles of the great DO - 6- GLAB distributed ? In what manner were his wrongs avenged ? - Was anything said about Charleston, and the ruthless manner in whit& he was massacred ? Did any speak er tell how he served JAMES BucarANAN in, 1856, and how JAMES BucHawarrpursued him to the grave with an infamous persecu tion ? Perhaps the discussion took a wider and more solemn range, and the last words and deeds of the great Statesman were can vassed. They may have- remembered- his declaration, that in this war there can be no neutrals=there are only patriots and traitors. Certainly no friends of DOUGLAS could neglect a sentiment which was so characteristic of the man, and which gave so much glory to his name. They would not have neglected it, even at the risk of offending Mr. FERNANDO WOOD.' If they were the true friends of DOUGLAS their, path was plain. If they did not keep that path, then they had no right to speak in the name of the great Statesman. No result seems to have come from this meeting, nor can we see that any result _ could be obtained. When , the time comes to reconstruct.the Democratic party, and re unite the friends of Bnatcximanort and Dotroras, it, will be easily done. NI) nego tiation can be more simple. The character of the great statesman was so plain and grand—his doctrines were so true, and brave, and his devotion to country was fib' majestic, that no follower of his creed can have any difficulty. His voice comes from the grave, and calls upon all, who believed in :him while living, and love his memory now that he is gone, to stand by. the Government and the country inits struggle for existence, to strengthen the Winds 'Of those in power-4o beir with them in their infirmities, knowing their honesty and pu rity of purpose, and to do nothing that may aid or comfort the rebels in their efforts to overthrow the Republic. This is our own belief as a follower of Mr. DOUGLAS, and we think we speak the sentiments of every sincere Douglas man in ;Pennsylvania. And if such wordS were not spoken at the meet ing infiew York, then thoSe who. claimed to speak in behalf of the Douglas men of Pennsylvania were impostors, and - should hipie been quietly delivered over to the po lice. The Exchange of Prisoners. If -a recent conversation of the President is reported correctly, we are to have no more trouble with our enemies in reference to an exchange of prisoners. In this qnes. tion, as in all questions, there is a right and a wrong side, and the rule by Which it can be determined is the rule of common-sense. We have -a large,number of rebels -in cap tivity, the rebels have a large number of Union men. Our desire is not so much to hold-the rebels captive as it is to release our friends,who are in bondage, and this desire is so great that we can afford to make any concession to have it - gratified. In this question a great principle is involved—the principle that the American uniform protects its wearer, and that if we choose to put a blue - coat on a, negro, we pledge ourselves to protect him as absolutely as if he were a white man. This the rulers of the- re bellion dispute, and out of this all future complications will arise. This difference, however, will not be permitted to interfere with the operation of the cartel for the ex - change of other prisoners who , , haVe - not been in command- of negro regiments. Un less JEFF'DATIS, therefore, refuses to enter into an exchange that does not concede the right of the Souther.o States to treat negroes as felons, we may anticipate a speedy settle ment of this question. The Censcriptton Act. Judge CADWALADEE, of the District Court of the United States, in an elabOrite aud able Opinion, delivered yesterday morning, affirmed the entire 'constitutionality of this statute. Judge GRIEIt, the Circuit Judge, and one of the JusticeS of- the Supreme Court of the 'United States, .was upon -the bench' during the deli Very of the opinion, and We. have the highest authority for say ing, fully concurred with Judge CADWALA DEVS views in reference to the constitu tionality of the act: The unconstitution ality of this statute is one of the planks of the Copperhead platform. Jude CADWALA.- DEB has let it down. No lawyer, and no citizen, who reads his judgment, which will be published in a few days, can have a moment's doubt Concerning the entire con stitutionality of the draft law. The move ment now -on foot, on the part of certain, lawyers' of the Copperhead party in this city . and in NeW Tork, to secure deci sions from certain State courts adversely to the : constitutionality of the act, is, in a measure, thus frustrated and defeated ; for it is both impossible for any lawyer or judge to. answer Judge CADwALA.DEu's view, aud improbable that any State court, after such a jUdgment as his, by a Federal tribunal of such high authority and acknowledged learning, will undertake to express a' dif ferent,opinion. . New Postal Arrangenient& ThaUks to the per Severance and ability-of Mr. CORNELIUS WArnouN, Postmaster of Philadelphia, we have one of the most con venient, as well as best conducted post offices in the whole Union. To Mr. WALBORN is also due, we believe, the - abolition of the un juist and oppressive -exaction of a fee for the delivery of letters by the carriers, and of the extra one-cent stamp on letters..Aeposited in the. _street postal-pillars. He has now re moved what was a great anomaly. - If a let ter were addressed to any of the vines now included in the-extended limits of the con solidated city—say addressed to German town=it required a three-cent stamp, just as if it, were destin.aa._.f`,..___32-a - -3 „ .. , -ur- - -rt - evirifilealis. Under Mr. WAreonN, the - various U. S. post offices scattered thrbugh the city, (at Port Richmond, Brides burg, FrankfOrd, Rising Bun; Germantown, 31 - ount Airy, Chestnut Hill, Andora, LeVer ington, Manaytmk, and Falls of Schuylkill,) have been discontinued, Branch offices have been established at Port Richmond, Frank ford, Germantown, and Manayunk, and the 'system of delivering letters all over the city by barriers has been instituted. Postage stamps can be purchased at the above-named five branck offiees, and also at stations in Bridesburg, the Rising Sun, and the Falls of Schuylkill.- Facilities for depositing, col lecting, and mailing letters will be distri buted all over the city, at convenient places, and the delivery will be uniform, rapid, and correct. The public who benefit by this augmented accommodation will not be sad dled with extra charges for it., The increase in communication by postal letters 3vill more than defray all the cost. For, the first time, we begin to realize that -we really have a consolidated city, and not one grbat town and about a dozen small ones nominally making the vast and rapidly increasing City of Brotherly Love. Mr. WALBORN ha.s ex hibited great administrative power and abili ty as Postmaster of Philadelphia, and the public need. only compare the postal system now, with all the improvements, With what it was only a few years ago. TILE DEMOCRATS denounce the loyal newspapers very bitterly for presuming to speak of Judge Woonwmtn as an enemy of naturalization, and in -favor of laws to re strict the foreigner's right to vote. It may seem strange that a man, with such opin ions, should be the candidate of <a party, -four-tfths of whose members are foreign ers, and whose policy has been to con ciliate foreign influence ; but, in the modern condition of the Democratic party, we can be surprised at nothing. Instead of contain ing the yeomanry of the State in its ranks, and honest and independent labor, it is now the mere tool in the hands of a few ambi tious aristocrats, and none of them is more ambitious or aristocratic than Mr. Justice WoonwAnn. They do not like the foreign er, they make capital out of his prejudice, and they, drive him to the polls as sheep are driven to the pen. They know that if .the truth is told to him, he is their friend no longer, and so it is kept from him as care fully as a knowledge of logic is kept from the slave on a plantatiqn. The.refore, when Judge WoonwAnn, as a member of the Constitutional Convention of Pennsylvania in 1837 proposed an amendment "to pre vent any foreigners who may arrive in this State after the 4th of July, 1841, from ac quiring the right to vote or hold office in this Commonwealth," he was sincere. If he does not support such a proposition now, it is not because his opinions have changed, but because he sees that the foreigners are useful and must be. cajoled. The foreigners to-day have no more bitter enemy than . Mr. Justice WOODWARD, and if the men who think with him obtain power, to, be of foreign birth 'will be an absolute - disqualifitation to hold any office or exercise the duties of i a. citizen. MIL CHARLES ImEnsoLL, the _Mrs. Nickleby of the Democratic party in this city, made a speech last evening, in which he endeavored to impress his hearers with the belief that Federal soldiers would con trol the election polls in October, and thus prevent the Democrats from electing WOOD WARD ! The time was when a man bearing the honored name of INGERSOLL would have disdained to go before a body of his fellow-men and give his faith to such a silly falsehood. Are we, to believe that when a fn an arrays himself against his country he is to forfeit ,every sentiment and feeling that secures him the esteem of his fellow-men ? -THE PITTSBURG COMMERCIAL is the title of a new journal, which will doubtless be of e . 'eci ! ded value to Western Pennsylvania. Its g eneral • p a pearance is in its favor ; the edi itsnial and other departments are well con Iducted, and we are glad to see that Kis, 'thoroughly loyalr We - wish - the Cominer=' cica all success and prosperity. Japan and From the latest news from Japan we learn that the troubles of Great Britain and the United States with that country have but begun. All the elements of war , exist in the difficulty—British residents murdered —an attempt to entrap and destroy au American steamer—a British frigate fired upon—a demand from the Japanese Govern ment that all foreign nations should with draw from, the open ports, and, in retalia, tion for these outrages and violatio - ns of treaty, the destruetien of Japanese' forts,and villages by Mitish - troops, and `an engage ment between batteries and the Ainerican steam frigate Wyoming. War, in fact, is virtually begun, and war of that bitter.kind which it is not easy to stop by negotiation. The trouble began last March, when. the admiral of the - British • East India Squadron appeared 'before ICanagawa to demandof _the Japanege Government an apology and the payment of one hundred . thousand pounds as the penalty for permitting the . murder .of British subjects. Twenty days wore given for compliance with these de mands. These passed, and the Japanese asked for an extension of time. It was granted by the English char#l , d'affaires, and they again postponed compliance. On the 20th' of June the settlement was referred to the admiral. On the . 24th the money was paid, ,but with it the Japanese representa tives brought the following. important news from Miaco, the new capital of the Empire : The Tycoon (friendly to foreigners) was held captive by the Micado, the spiritual Emperor, and some of the inore powerful princes ; the Micado requested foreigners to abandon the open ports„with the inten tion of restoring to japan its olden seclu sion and selitude among the nations. To thisrequest " the reply was a declaration by the foreign ministers that the ports were opened by treaty, and a simple promise that the matter should be referred to the dovern meats concerned. Rapidly upon these events followed those outrages alluded to, and the punishment inflicted" as retaliation. The American steamer Pembroke was fired upon by. Japanese vessels on the 25. th. Of June ; the English frigate. Medusa was attacked in the same inland'sca on the 15th of July. On the, 20th of July the Wyoming'blew up a Japanese steamer; and silenced nearly all 'the forts of the Darnio: -On the 24th of July the British steamer Credia had a three hours engagement with the forts in Simeon selti straits, destroyed them, and burned the neighbqing villages. These are the latest facts we have received. The American part in this difficulty is im portant. Our flag was the first fired upon, and-an American vessel was the first to ex act the penalty attaching to the outrage. The commander of the Wyoming _has been blamed for his action, but in our opinion was justified by the necessity of maintaining the honor and interest of his country. The lives of American residents in that country, the wealth of American commerce in those waters, are not lightly to be risked, and the vast distances which separate Japan from America make it impossible that our soldiers and sailors, who are trusted with the honOr of the flag in those'far-away seas, should refer such cases to their. Go vernment and wait for official instructions. - When the Pembroke was fired upon trea cherously, the. Wyoming did right in pun ishing the offenders. The experience of all civilized countries, in dealing with these semi-barbarous nations, should teach us the danger of a forbearance which is certain to be misunderstood. The condition of Japan can be closely in ferred from the few facts we have gathered. The Government of the Tycoon no lower" rules the Empire, and the policy of the 'na tion is new hoStile to foreign intercourse. Many of the chief princes, originally op "posed to the opening of the ports to foreign trade, have determined to suppress it, and' it is their independent action, not the order of the Government, which caused the attack on British and American vessels. It is not ,to•be expected that England, or France, or America, will consent to yield these rights which, they have obtained by treaty, and if the :Japanese continue __thetr-rinila,wful - at , temt pt_i‘..-gain - ny - fo - rce what they cannot-got by negotiation, declared war will be the ne cessary consequence. For two hundred years Japan has kn'6wri neither civil nor foreign war; the Pedce that folded her wings above that solitary land no fright disturbed. , If she - is now banished, `let the JapaneSe bear the responsibility. They have the p - ower to make another China of their land ; for their own good, we-trust they are too wise to use it. MR. JUSTICE WoODwARD in his boyhood went to school.- We take this for granted ; also, that he then wrote those intellectual exercises which school-boys call., composi tions ; also, that one of those compositions was upon -" Ambition." We also take it for granted that his composition assured. his master that ambition was divided into two kinds—true ambition and false ambition— that true ambition was a blessing, and that false ambition was -an evil. Now if that composition is in existence, we advise Mr. Justice WOODWARD to nail SOLDIERS, and all you that have fathers, brothers, and friends in the army, remem ber that in 1860, when South Carolina was plating treason and organizing war, Mr. JuStice *OODWARD encouraged the traitors of South Carolina, by telling them " that there must be a time when slaveholders may fall back upon their natural rights and em ploy, in defence of their slave property, whatever means of protection they possess and can command." - Thus - the men who are your enemies, in the field were encou raged by the candidate- of the , Democracy for Governor. ~. Mr. WILLIA - m B. REED is announced to speak in Meadville, away off in Erie county. Why does not the ex-diplomatist and anonymous pamphleteer let us hear him nearer home ? THE Frixxcrr have taken Tampico. This is another step towards Texas. Let the Frenchman beware. Ile may find return ing as tedious as MAcnETu, when fully em= barked in his career of robbery and murder. CALEB PlRucEjsq., of Chester county, has been appointed a member of the National Union State ' Central Committee. Mr, PIERCE will be a valuable aid to the commit tee,, and is qualified for the position by un doubted loyalty, energy, and ability. Gen. Carrington, .on &recent visit to an Indiana regiment, made the following sensible speech: soon leave you—do .not expect a speech. lam a man of few words ; they will seem homely, but they are the result of experience. First, avoid profane speech. He who is the God of battles, and holds the issues of life, should be revered, if you would have His blessing. The man who honors His holy name is a true soldier ; he fears not to die, because he is prepared for the issues of death. Temperance is the next virtue. The best stimulus to the moldier is his coffee. Liquors are temporary, and bring relaxa tion, and 'they also involve bad habits. Water should be used frequently, but in small draughts— too, much water at a time involves perspiration, and weakens the body. -Drink it often, but always: in moderation. Be chaste and truthful. Be ae good citizens in the service as out of it. Bathing la tin portant ; keep clean. If your feet are sore after a march. bathe them in soft water, and you will be fresh in the morning. In closing, let me say that nothing pains me so much u to see a Soldier who forgets his duty as a citizen and a Christian. Be so pure that your wives and sweethearts will honor you, every step of your progress as a soldier. If we meet again it will be my pleasure and duty to serve the country with ; If not, be true to.the nag, and your country will honor you. -To yourself, all I have to, say after two days' drill is, I am 'satis fied. Take that as a soldier's good-bye." —Major E. D. Osborn, formerly of Rochester, a member of General Grant's staff, writes to a friend in answer to a question in regard to Grant's °barm ier. He says: "If you could zee the General as he sits just over beyond me, with his wife and two 'children, looking more like a chaplain theme general; with that quiet air so impossible to describe, you would /loved( me if. he drink's: lie rarely ever uses intoxicating liquors ; more moderate in his habits and desires than any other man I ever saw ; more pure and spot less' In-his private character than almost any man -I ever knew; more brave than any mani ever saw; with more power to command and ability to plan than any men I ever served under ; cool to excess when others lose nerve; always hopeful, always un disturbed, never failing to accomplish what he un dertakes just as he expects to.

Rebel Colonel Preilleta au Early Peace. 18pecial desparch to the New York Tribal:is.] WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1863.—From. your. corre spondent with the Army of the Potomac we have the following, dated HICADQUART.F.Se, Sept. B.—Col. R. C. Hill, of the rebel army, recently sent word across the Rappa hannock from Fredericksburg that he would like to see an officer of our army. The wish being made known to Gen. Custer the General himself crossed. The*motive of Col. Hill's request was to make in quiries respecting Gen. Gregg, with whom he was once a classmate and intimate friend. %Gen. Ouster receivtd a note from Col. Hill to Gen. Gregg, which was forwarded. (to!. Hill remarked contldentially to Gen. Custer that peace was near at hand. This assertion was also voluntarily matte by two rebel officers in the boat Which conveyed Gen. Ouster, and by others on shore. On being asked the lesson of thew supposition, they would not enMMU nieste it, simply . reiterating their opinion.... Col. 11111 would not state what command he was connect., ed with, but appeared to be a staff officer. At lealt 1,000 cavalry and infantry from the rebel army thronged about the wharf as spectators when Gen. Ouster- landed. His reception by the officethwas exceedingly cordial. Notwithstanding these antioipa4ibian.of-pease,'ttfe rebels expected another battle near Culpeper. TAPY did net anttutpate - nth:eking us, but presumed that we, strengthened, by conscripts, would. speedily surue the offensive. , t Gen. LE.e. is yet in Richmond.

Battlers who reached the pity last evening; - direct from Beverly, report that Avers l's forces were at that point. The engagement is said to have-been one of the most severe of the war. Averill, with from 2,000 to 3,000 men, attacked Jones' forces near ,Wbite Sulphur, and, after a hotly-contestedfight, Averill run out of ammunition, and 'was compelled to fallback. • The Federal loss is put down at from 200 to 300, and that of the Confederates at about the same figure. uapt. Win. Parker, of the Bth .Virginia, was shot from his horse andseriously, if not fatally wounded. Major MoNully, of the 2d Virginia, was seriously wounded. Lieut. French, of Co. E, 2d Virginia, was shot through - the knee. Capt. Ewing (artillery) was shot through the side. Parker, Ewing. and Pao Ofully were left in the bands of the Confederates, but Lieut. French was rescued, and is now in Beverly. The 14th Pennsylvania suffered a heavy loss, as it WAS exposed to the hottest of the battle. Colonel Schoolmaker was killed. _ Averill captured the Highland County Court, which was in session at the time, and destroyed the saltpetre works. Had General Cameron reached Avertll, as ex pected, it is thought Jones would have 'been routed. It is thought that Jones intends making a raid in• to the Kanawha Valley. He has been heavily ,rein Forced, and his command now numbers seven or: eight thousand. GEN. AVERILL'S EXPEDITION-THE BAT- WASHINGTON, September 9.—The [allowing re{. port has been mane by General Avertll to General Kelly GENIMAL : I have the honor to report the Indere turn of my command to this place, after an expedi tion through the counties of Hardy, Pendleton, Greenbrier, and Pocahontas. We drove Gen. Jack son out of Pocahontas, and over the Warm Spring mountains, in a aeries of skirmishes, destroyed their saltpetre works, burned Camp Northwest and a large amount of arms, equipments and stores, fought a se vere engagement with a superior force under coin mend of Major Gen. Sam Jones and Col. Patten, at Rocky Gap, near White Sulphur Springs. The battle lasted during two days. We drove the enemy from his first position, but want of ammunition and the arrival, on the second day, of three regiments to reinforce the enemy, from the direction_whence the co-operation of Gen. Scammon had been, promised, decided me to withdraw. My command was with drawn in good order, with the loss of' only two men during the operation.

The attempt to assault Gregg was repulsed before the enemy had completed their landing. Great havoc is supposed to have been played „in. the enemy's boats by our grape and canister. At dark, on Wednesday evening, the enemy having advanced their sappers up to the very moat of Wagner, and it being impossible to hold the island longer, General Beauregard ordered the evacuation, which was executed between 8 P.

RICMARICARLIC LXTTLI: VIODC TIM LONDON'S.'Nfir..9 An association styling itself the "Emancipation Society" has appealed to her Dllnje*tsos Government in the matter of the war steamers built, or alleged to be built, in this country for the service of the Confederate States of America. Like other parti sans of the Federal's, the association appeals not to our sense of justice, but 'to the sympathies with which, in their opinion, we ought to be penetrated. They present the Northern States to our view as a nation "struggling for constitutional freedom and emancipation against a rebellion of elaveholders," and ask that the law may be applied "with vigor" in prevention of acts prejudicial to " a friendly Power contending for human freedom." This is precisely the style adopted by persons of greater note in discussing the subject, but it is a very mistaken one. The law knows neither pre. pessessions nor prejudices ; nor can it enter into the merits of any cause of War. We can only look at the Federale as "_belligerents," while we are "neu trals," and in these abstract capacities we must con duct our dealings. It is undoubtedly proper that the law should be put in force) against any parties in tending to violate it; but it is unfortunately doubt• ful whether the law is sufficient to prevent what are morally offences against its spirit. We know in ge neral terms what a subject of a neutral State may do, and what he may not do. He may have deal ings with the belligerents, even in munitions of war, but he must not enter into the quarrel. He must not enlist men for the war, nor may he "equip" and send forth a vessel.of•war for the service of one belli . j'erent against the other. That would be going too far, and would be a departure from the limits of neutrally. On the other hand, a shipbuilder of a neutral State may certainly carry on hie trade of shipbuilding, and either build a ship to order,or sell one when he has built it. Nor could any injunction be well leveled against him building ships• of war, since he might have built them without reference to any particular order ordemand. Even theAaracter of the vessel in this re spect might not be easily ascertainable. A ship design ed bone fide for mercantile purposes might be so con structed as to be - convertible into a man-of-war upon occasion. We ourselves once' made it a stipulation that the packets of a certain subsidized line should be capable of carrying guns and doing duty as light ing ships. Tbere would obviously, therefore, be great difficulty in applying to the trade in ships any rules different from- those applying to the trade in munitions of war. Of the two, indeed, it must be far more certain that a battery of field pieces, such as the Federals have had by scores, is intended for the immediate uses of the war than that an empty ship, however constructed, is destined for such ob .. jests. Nevertheless, when we have said all this, we can not pretend to deny that there is something, short, perhaps, of a legal offence, which we ourselves, if we were belligerents, should be strongly disposed to complain of as a breach of neutrality. If vessels were built in the yards of a foreign country of such a charac.er and design as to be directly availalable against us ; if such vessels were actually made over to our enemies, and if they then appeared against us under the effemy's flag, we should probably re monstrate with' onsiderable energy ; nor should we be very well satisfied with ,the assertion that they were not actually "equipped" at the time. of de livery. " Equipment " in the legal sense appears to constitute the difference between a lawful and au unlawful sale. An empty hull may be anything, but a vessel equipped for the sea is an active engine of war. This view of the case manitestly leaves openings fur any amount of evasion. A ship has only to be towed out of our harbors to another port or to ano ther vessel, whence she_may take her guns and stores, and the interdict of such supplies becomes a dead letter.- Should we be likely to acquiesce in proceedings of that kind for any length of time, or is it our interest, as a nation, to see the precedent established? We are assured that at this moment there are two vessels in the Mersey and ,a third in the 013 de designed in accordance with the latest conceptions of naval warfare, and notoriously des. tined for the use of the Southern States. The memorialists of the Emancipation Society speak of them as "powerful iron-plated steam rams,"' and ingeniously describe them as " equipped" with " steel prows and turrets." We are not sure that this would be considered " equipment " under the meaning of the act ; but if the statement is true— and we have no reason to doubt it—we should ask our selves with what feelings we should regard similar proceedings on the part of others. The Federala are not entitled to call upon us to change our laws, nor can we submit to be bullied even into a change of practice; but the case is now becoming a very strong one. We hold and acknowledge it unlawful to equip vessels of war for the use of a belligerent, we being neutrals, and yet every cruiser in the ser vice of the Southern States has been, as a metier of fact, sent to sea from the ports of this country. It is not the fault of the Government, as the case of the Alexandra sufficiently proved, but there must clearly bee fault somewhere, when we see the spirit of the law evaded, and things done which we would - rather see left undone, and which our own national interests call upon us to stop. We admit that the case is exceptional. It turns, in fact, upon the pas sionate and overruling determination with which the Federals are enforcing a prodigious blockade. To this one momentous object they have devoted their whole naval resources, and have thrown the police of the seas noun us. If their squadrons were not so busy on the seaboards of the United States, matters would not have been managed go easily in the Mersey and the Clyde ' • nor would the Florida berquietly hovering about the Channel to pick up her new consorts on their coming out. As it is, this kind of trade Is left undisturbed, and the Federals, instead of snapping up the, would be cruisers on their first appearance, complain of us for allowing them to appear at all. Suet lately they have ordered the construction of six powerful iron steamers expressly for the purpose of patroling the seas, and if this new squadron should not be ab ruptly diverted to Charleston or Norfolk we should soon hear less of the Alabama and her doings. Hitherto the Southerners have been left with this field of action entirely to themselves, and so profita ble have they found it that they have recently pro posed to throw their whole energies into the work. In that event we might see such an extension given to the trade in question as could hardly be tolerated. It is a hard thing to say, perhaps, that we may sell a hundred thousand rifles or a whole cargo of gunpowder to a belligerent; and yet not a ship's hull ; but we can only add that some distinction is actually recognized, and that it Is not our interest to invalidate it. We ourselves have maintained it as well as the Americans. During the Crimean war we addressed a protest to the Washington Govern ment on the subject of a vessel believed to be des tined for Russian use, and the Americans listened to us. When they, again, the other day, protested on the subject of the Alexandra,-ive listened to them, and did our best to detect an alleged breach of law. On both sides, therefore, - it is felt that neutrals should not supply belligerents with vessels-of-war, and let a Confederate cruiser' is said to be some- Where in British waterk awaiting the opposrance - of her - new contorts at a rendezvous. Can this be right? We think not. It is not a question of sym pathy at all, but a question of ' law and, we may once more add, or British interests. If we were un happily plunged again into war, we might Bone find rea son to wish that:we had supported with greater zeal the representations of the Unionists in toe matter of these Southern cruisers. Mexico. PROBABLE REFUSAL OF THE THRONE B 1 ARCH.. DUKE ISIAXIDEILIAN [From the Paris Correspondence of the Daily News.] A letter fromßrussels, contradicting the state ment that King Leopold had counseled the Arch duke Maximilian to accept the throne of Mexico, say ethat hie Majesty has signified to his son-in-law that he would rather not give any advice at all upon the subject. The Temps, however, contains the fol lowing paragraph : We believe we can affirm that King Leopold is not favorable to the acceptance " pure and simple," but recommends the Archduke, without positively re fusing, to propound conditions which would be so difficult to be complied with as to render the assent illusory. The Patric, which hitherto has been one of the moat ardent partisans of the "election" of the Arch duke Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico, is now con strained to admit the truth of the news given by the Temps, tbat the King of the Belgians has recom mended his sorein-law to insist upon conditions which are 'equivalent to a refusal of: the proffered crown. It adds that, in giving this advice. Leopold has been simply the echo of the court of Vienna and of the Orleans family. Nevertheless, the Paine Aye it is not possible, at present, to predict what answer the Archduke himself will give to the Mexi can deputation now on its way to present to him what French writers pleasantly call les voter du pays. This reservation is the expression of a hope that toe young Archduke, who, it is well known, has cherish ed the idea of- being an emperor, will be fool enough to separate himself from the family and dynasty to which alone he owes his elevation above the rank of ordinary mortals, and will go out to the Western world as an adventurer on " his . own hook," confident in his individual merits, and relying upon the dan gerous -patronage of the Emperor of the French. Having too good an opinion of the Archduke's com mon sense to believe this, I adhere to the opinion I expressed long ago, that the Emperor of Mexico (or rather of that email elip of Mexican territory which is yet conquered) will be some hitherto unknown in dividual to be nominated by Napoleon 111. in virtue of the power of the appointment which Marshal Forey's Notables were ordered to reserve. REPORTED PROTEST OP THE 'UNITED STATES. [From the Parte Corre;ponfient of the Loudon Daily News. The news which I alluded to yesterday as being, "positively stated," of the "United States Govern ment having protested against what the French have been doing in Mexico had not then appeared in print. Several journals now notice the existence of the ru mor, but in conflicting terms. The unscrupulous Prance says there is ' no truth in it." The Temps, prompted, no doubt. by an identical volunteerednote from a Government office, construes the correction with a notable difference, for it says that "the news. is at least premature." But the Paine (a rabid , partisan of the South, and therefore a good witness in • the' present instance,) says that the protest, ":or at least an official notice of a protest having been resolved upon," was brought to Europe by the last packet, the .City of Cork, and that Mr. Dayton will communicate the protest to the Cabinet of the Tuileries next week. If. this is the right explanation of the word "premature," used by the Temps, it is obvious that the news loses none of its importance. . . - The semi-official Paris journals remark that Sellor Lapiente, envoy of Juarez, has been in constant communication with both the North American.

The General was in a boat, hiding behind a small island, and like Hia watha, There he waited till the deer came, Till he saw two antlers lifted, Saw two eyes look from the thicket, Saw two nostrils point to windward, And a deer came down the pathway."

T .➢E CITY . [PON ADDITIONAL. CITY NIMS BEM WOURTN PA6N.) DULL DAYS.—If.-there:is any time pecu liarly fit for carrying out the lazy poet's idea of lying on a sofa mailing a novel, it is the long interval of a dull day. It is lust as comfortable to lie on the sofa and read a novel through a dull day, as it is to lie between blankets at night and listen to the patter ing of the lain upon the roof, and the cutting-ups of the wind round street corners. Yesterday was a dull day. The barometerand the thermometer, taken altogether, bear indubitable testimony to this. There was uothicg to be done: There was nothing to be seen. There was not a local vestige of anything bloodistirring. The day was one of murkiness and discontent. But dull days are not without their blessings. Some things are blessings in disguise. They are sheep in wolves' clothing. They teach us that sunshiny days are better than bitters for pro moting a breakfast appetite ; they teach us to prize these blessed beathis which like the dews of heaven descend alike on all. . . In some inexplicable manner they are suggestive of old friends, old letters, and new novels. We muse over the first, rearrange the second, and run through the third. The voiceless hypochondriac shouts loud er than ever on a dull day. The bilious man is more bilious, and the - nervous man more. nervous. The country looks exceedingly desolate. The chickens, standing on one foot in the rain, look as though they had given it up, and bear a not distant resemblance to that legendary expression ascribed to a goose of fragile constitution in a thunderstorm. Why a goose should have been selected as an appropriate type of absolute despair, and why a thunderstorm should have come to be hit upon as the acme of a miserable tout ensembk, me questions which the promulgator of the proverb is at liberty to settle. A. dull day is a 'God-send to the proprietor of a passenger _railway route, but so is a fine day for that matter. The beat cure, however, for the dispiriting tendencies of a dull day is to determine not to be dispirited, as the most efficient method of enhancing those of a fine day is to determine to enjoy it to the utmost. • UNION MEETING IN THE NINETEENTH Wann.—Last evening a large and spirited meeting, one of the series instituted by the Union Associa tion of the Nineteenth ward, was held on German town road, below Norris Street.

PRILADBLpiita, Sept. 9, t 869 The money market was rather eager to-day, and lenders, exhibited a more accommodating spirit. j.arge . amounts are coming in from the_ country for Umporary investment, - which has the effect of 'bring leg down the rates. Six per cent. was the ruling figure for operations on security; five per cent on call. Gold was in fair demand, opening at 13134, and closing at 132;1, with some ffuctuations during the day, the rumor of the occupation of Morris Island failing to affect it. Theoccupation of Sump ter and the possession of Morris Island has been so often telegraphed that nothing short of official news of successful movements against Charleston will have any effect on the market. In Government securities there has been no change for some time, although we have had periods of re joicing and of parZic. Thisis owing to the general con fidence,in the integrity of the Government, and to the continuance of the privilege of subscribing to the fide-twenty loan at par. Bonds bearing interest in gold ought to be at least as 'good as those whose interest is payable in currency; and, if the latter sell up to 115@120, why should not the former be worth 120@12-51 There is no doubt of their reaching such figures were the five-twenty loan out of the market. The stock market was decidedly better today, and the prices of some of the leading fancies advanced, while nearly everything was . steady.. State fives were in demand at advance.

This circumstance, together with the gene- ral prosperity of the country,. and the favorable prospects of the war, has contrZuted to wake up once more the speculative spirit, and to give a nes. impulse to the demand for railway shares.
