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 ?

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

of South Carolina, by telling them " that
there must be a time when slaveholders may

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."

ICe.nias line. The feeling in Johnston, Miami, Linn,
and Bourbon counties cannot be appreciated by any
one removed from the seat of danger. The recent
unobstructed entry into Kansas, and the supposed
return of Quantrel, has created a universal feeling
of insecnirity in the_ border counties. The citizen's
' are organizing into military companies and regi

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

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.

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

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

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. Our loss in the battle is pro

far into the night. About 160 of our men were
killed • and wounded in Batteries Wagner and
Gregg. 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. M.
and lA. M., with success. We spiked the guns of
Wagner and Gregg, and withdrew noiselessly, in

The Conduct of England in Relation to
America.
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

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. . . -

his explorations hunting on . its shores, combined
with every noble attribute of character, renders his
companionship eagerly sought for—those t wo well-
known hunters % Lee Harris and son, who reside
here, and the eneraPs aids. The General has
shot ir
two deer, the last a bison, killed in the lake
last Tuesday. Gen. Elijah Ward, F. Thomas, and
David Banks, Esqs., his two aids, and the lie.rrises
were with the General on this occasion. Some of
the party landed and went back into the mountains
and soon got on the trail of a buck, and drove it
down the hillside to the lake. 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."
The deer on reaching the edge of the lake hesi
tated, but the close yelling of the dogs at his heels,
compelled it to plunge in to seek escape. After it
gut out a sufficient distance in the water, the Gene.
ral's boat was turned for the shore to cut °flits re-
The scene fir at followed was very exciting; as soon
as the deer perceived t)e 'boat he turned for the
shore, and swam rapidly, but the oarsmen bent their
strength and succeeded in preventing hint from get
beg the mainland:; He then turned for the island.
The General, havingihim in eady range, tired. The
dyihg buck, seeing escape was useless, changed his
comae and made for the , boat As he neared its side
Harris caught him by the antlers. He made several
desperate efforts to get his fore paws in the boat,
but Hirrls held his head firmly down in the water.
He was towed to the shore. The bison weighed,
when dressed, 230 pounds. Judging by its eaters,
it was nearly four years old.—Cor. Times.
Among the sojourners in the city during the
heats of summer, is Pdajor General Philip St.
George Cooke. General Cooke in an officer, a
brigadier in the regular army, and has earned a
latge measure of public praise, because at the
be
ginning of the war, from his sympathies and asso
ciations, it was expected he-would-join the South
ern cause. He is a native of Virginia, has a son a
general in the rebel army, and his son-in•law,

[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. It WAS well ad
dressed by Messrs. W. T. Leader. :T. W: Bear, the
"Buckeye Blacksmith," and Wm. Nicholson.
During the remarks of the latter speaker, eggs,
pieces of cheese, and similar missiles were thrown
at the stand by some individual hidden in the crowd.
Thia.proceeding caused intense indignation, and it
is extremely fortunate that the culprit, for whom
vigorous search was made, escaped in the dark
without personal injury.
.
IMPROVRMENT.—The slip formerly used
by the Red Bank Ferry Company as a landing
place for their steamboats at South-street wharf,

ber of years. The boats formerly running on this
line were chartered by the Government at the be-
ginning of the rebellion and are still in its employ.
From the time this line ceased to run the entire be
sine's has been thrown upon the Gloucester Ferry
Company, which has two fine boats on the line, and
are strained to their utmost capacity to accommo
date the numerous wagons that bring quantities of
fruit and vegetables from Jersey to our markets
here.

THIE MOTATEY .MARKET.
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. Old City sixes sold
at 10131 ; 107 was bid for the new—both without
change. Pennsylvania Railroad lst mortgages rose

2d mortgages sold at 68. Elmira sevens at 108; 95

from 132.34: to 132 ,• and exchange, which had sold
at 1456@i453(, is now. offered at 145, with no

The loan market is niciderately active at 6 . 07 per
cent. We observe no remaining indications of last
week's stringency, while in many quarters consider
able ease has been developed. First-class firma have
borrowed large sums this morning on - New York
Central, Erie, and similar favorite securities, at 5
per cent. The new Government loan, the negotia
tions for which were finally,concluded-yesterday af
terrine* is. expectedto contribute in various ways
Ito give`additional ease to the operations of the.loan
market. 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.
The stock market exhibits considerable bun - Timmy.
Governments are steady, Border-State bonds better,
bank etocks dull, and railroad bonds firm. Itailrosd

"A MARRIED MAN'S ADVICE."—
Young man, if everclined you be
To enter the portal' of matrimony,
411.568 07
Be wary how you go through It ;
If I beg of my:wire not to pet or to fuss,
She only replies, "You're ac cuss, you're ac-puss,
You're avows, you're accustomed to it !"
No matter how tidy or well-dressed you go,
Though your clothes are from the: store of Charles
Stokes & Co.,
V.Neath the " Continental," where you may view
it;)
If your wife be slovenly you'll be in a mum,
And you always will be, till you feel you're so-num,
You're ao cuss, you're accustomed - to it.
A FAST PLACE.—Life in - Richmond is
rapid. A local paper says if the gambling and drink-
Ing go on as at present much longer, Richmond will
be all faro banks up stairs, and all bar-rooms on the
first door, and everybody in town a king of - dia
monds, or a knight of the order of rum-punch.
About these diggings things go on more rationally.
Things go en quietly, decently, and prosperously in
Philadelphia: and everybody dresses decently be
cause he procures his garments at the Bintria Stone
Clothing Hall of Reokhill & Won, Nos: 603 and.,
605 Chestnut street, abeie - Sixth.
ALWAYS sit nest to the carver, if you can,
at dinner.
