Can be seen at
No. 430 CHESTNUT STREET (se . pinid floor).
kehere -ell persons interested in Flawing machines are in•
ailed to call and examine this wondertril Machine.
It has been the object of the FLORENCE SEWING
mounts COMPANY to supply a machine free from
the objections attached to other first-class machines. and
after the - patient, untiring labor of ) ears and a- liberal
expenditure of capital in securing the first mechanical
talent, their efforts have been crowned with success .and
the are now offering to the public -the MOST PERFECT
SEWING MAC BINS IN THE WORLD. Amour its
many advantages over all other machines, may be mem
toned :
Ist. -ft makes four different stitches on one and the
same machine, each stitch being perfect and alike on
both sides of the fabric.
Ed. Changing from one kind of stitch to another, as
swell as the length of the stitch, can readily be done while
the machine is in motion.
3d. Every/Witch is perfect in itself, making the seam
Secure and uniform, combining elasticity, str,•ngth and
beauty - .
4th. it has the reversible feed motion, which enables
the operator to run the work to either the right or left,
or stay any part of the seam, or fasten the .410,3 of seams
%without turning the fabric or stopping the machine.
6th. It is the most rapid sewer in the world, making
five stitches to each revolution, and there is no other
machine which will do so large a range of work as the
FLORENCE.
6th. It does the heaviest or finest. work with . equal fa
cility, without change of tension or breaking of thread.
7th. It hems, fells, binds, gathers, braids, quifte, and
gathers and sews on a ruffle at the same time.
Bth. Ifs efmp Iteity eatables the most inexperienced to
operate it. Its motions are all positive. and there are
no fine sprinuoto get out of order, and it is adapted to
all kinds of cloth-work, from thick to thin. and is al
most noiseless.
9th, The FLORENCE SEWING MAR.FIGNE, is unequal
led in beauty and style. and must be seen to be appre
ciated.

THE EXEMPTION BILLS.
Those who remember the famous "Japanese
Swindle" of our Common Counoll, which resulted
from the visit of the Tycoon's ambassadors to this
city, will not be especially startled at the course
which this august body is taking in regard to the
bill for the redemption of old Democratic files, which
they passed over Mayor Opdyke's veto. That is a
demoniac maxim of the common law ; " Corpora
tions can never die," for , our CoMmon Council is a
Corporation!
These old flies are relying, upon their friends, the •
Aldermen, to prevent Mr. Lincoln from drafting
from an outraged and decimated community; while
the Aldermen, appreciating this appealing ,00nfL•
dence, seem determined, at all hazards, -to prooure
the exemptiorrof their muscular supporters. A. few
dayieince an injunction was granted against any
further notion upon this bill, at the instance of the
AttOrney General ; yesterday, the Aldermen in
structed the Corporation counsel to take such mea
sures as might result in dissolving the injunction,
and restoring their license to employ the public
moneys for party purposes. It is stated that Mayor
Opdyke will refuse to sign any bonds which may be
issued under the ordinance ; while, on the other
hand, it is asserted that his signature is not reciut
site to their validity. However the fact may be, it
seems scarcely possible that our moneyed men will
purchase securities whose 'validity, at the best, is,
open to doubt, and which may entail , upon the hold
ers interminable lawsuits before the question can be
finally settled. Speculators are not apt to close
with equivocal bargains, and it seems very probable
that this iniquitous scheme of plunder may hill
still-born, even though the injunction be dissolved,
as the Aldermen claim it should be. .
The Mayor deserves the thanks of every honest
citizen for the bold and determined manner in tvhioh
he has carried his point in the face of the most fu
rious opposition. The exemption act which, at his
suggestion, was passed by the Supervisors, answers
all just ends, and, while relieving particular classes
of the community from the burden of the draft, will
procure men for the army, and thus fulfil the re
quirements of the GoVernment at the same time
that it relieves the citizens. Applicants for the
benefits of the fund are urged to produoe substitutes
when such a course is possible, and when it is not,
the committee finds the substitute itself. In orde
to give these regulations due effect ii tep thpu; ; '
substitutes are advertised for, arel4r..whVi,:i.+l4s.* I
been forthcoming. In fact, the committee takes ll.e
place of the Government in the matter, and applies
each three hundred dollars, just as the Government
would do in case the drafted men were to pay their
exemption fees to it.
This, naturally enough; does not suit the Aldermen.
It extends no bulwark of safety around their con
stituents, and leaves the mob-men to 'take their
chances in the conscription. Besides, no perquisites
can be frayed oft' the fund ; no percentages are af
forded ; and the aidermanic body mourns over lost
opportunities and the sad spectacle of a public fund,
which their fingers may not touch.
Thus far, the committee has met with the most
flattering success in its efforts to procure the whole
number of substitutes ; and it is expected that the
ten thousand will shortly be obtained, and added to
Our armies.
CIVILIZATION OF BROOKLYN.
Brooklyn has_ taken a forward step toward civili
sation, whichipeaks well for the enterprising spirit
of its citizens. Yesterday evening the first number
of a loyal and, respectable paper was issued in that
city, under the title of The Union. Brooklyn papers
have not been very superior journals heretofore,
and have scarcely risen in grade above compilations
from the New York press. The Union, however,
promises to be an improvement on its cotemporary,
and commences under the most flattering auspices.
On the same evening the first regular theatre (the
Park) was opened, and filled to the overflow. They
have an Academy of Music, chiefly devoted - to 'ex.
hibitions of gigantic potatoes and other vegetables,
and Sundapschool festivals, but its dramatic record
is nothing. Now and then some- superannuated
star would astonish the Brooklynite.s upon thn
Academy boards, but the reputation for mammoth
vegetables swallowed up all else. The opening of
the Park Theatre is, therefore, ad episode in the
history of that provincial city, and the Brool±lyn
- .%v orKera. W
recognize them in the streets, and have apparently
relinquished all ideas of sending missionaries among
them. S TUYVES'ANT.
To the Editor of The Preeß:
Sin: Some days back the wish was expressed in
your columns that some 'one would explain the
meaning of the phraseology employed by a certain
critic °n a"' pe works of Mr. Mulready, the English
painter. •
The phrases specified were "solidity of color,"
and "force of handling."
• The effects, hardness, softness, transparency, &c ,
are, as is well known, continually produced on
canvas; witness the successful representation of
furs, velvet, marble, steel, water, the atmosphere,
&e. -These effects, however, are not always fully at
tained, bnt on the contrary, transparency and films]•
nese are sometimes the result, where opacity and;
substance were the objects in view, and vice versa?'
The power of attaining eats and all of these, at will,
distinguishes the successful painter, and to him "so
lidity of color," and solidity.nf texture, as well, are',
1
expressive and proper terms. ,
" Handling" is the manner of the artist in laying
on his tints and lines, so as to produce a particulai
effect, and widely differs in the practice of differMit
masters. It may be forcible or feeble, facile or la!
bored, like the handwriting of those who wield till
pen. Its full meaning will be beat exemplified ix
comparing the works of different painters, side b 3:
side. A portrait by Stuart, placed in juxtapositioi
with another by our own townsman, Rembran
Peale, would strikingly i lustrate the difference
handling by two artiste, and exhibit at the same Um
the exact meaning of the term. Boldness and del
re .
cacy of effect in pictures result mainly from mar
difference of handling, each of which may be exec ,
lent in its own way, requiring simply to' be viewel
at different and appropriate distances. The hand
ling of some painters is-disthighished by such frl
and strong strokes or touches, of the pencil, as - .ev
to plough up the surfaces of their pictures, and till
designedly ; while that of others blends every tick
and ridge to the highest degree of smoothness ol
texture, and the most insensible gradations o,
color.
These, and other like terms, are used of nece.ssi
by artists and true critics, not in affectation, but a
being convenient, expressive, and a help to direc
nese and brevity. No doubt, display in their use i
sometimes Bought by the vain, who desire to api
proach art as connoisseurs, and who - seek to gair
credit not only for acumen, but erudition ; henc
the "slang" to which you allude, so often the re
suit of attempts at fine writing on art by the inconi
petent. Coxcombs in criticism are in continuti
peril of floundering here ; not that the technology et
art is more abstruse than that, of other profeadorn
but it reqviresto be pretty well understood to avoi.
a very frequent misapplication of terms, and to
vent writing what will appear absolute '
the well informed. nonsense,
The phraseology of, art to the uninitiated may

captain of the steamer Cosmopolitan, who is a very
intelligent and reliable man, being employed in
bringing the wounded from Morris Island to Hilton
Head.
- The Cosmopolitan left Lightliouse Inlet at two
o'cloCk. on Saturday morning. He reports that a
White flag was displayed from Moultrie on Friday
afternoon, and from that time until he left all firing
had ceased. He also reports that Gen. Gilmore had
possession of half of James Island, but did not say
how this result was achieved.
,Capt. Diggs further says that when he left Hilton
Head on Saturday morning he kept close into the
coast, and passed' Charleston bar at not more than
six miles froth Fort Moultrie ; that with a glass he
distinctly saw a white flag floating froth the fort;
that perfeot quiet prevailed inside the bar during all
the time he was in eight and sound, there being no
firing either by the enemy or by our land or naval
forces. According to his statement the white flag
wan flying from from Friday evening up to
4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
There might posaibly have been a suspension of
hoetilities for some purpose, but even if correctly re
ported it would not indicate a surrender. If the
latter, there would undoubtedly have been a de

" With regard to the health of Admiral Dahlgren
'we 'apprehend, from - his appearance, that he is a

His bodily strength has probably never been very
great, but, for activity of mind and indomitable per

perhaps, we except the unapproachable Farragut

residence on the flagship, was a subject of common
remark.
"The facts are, that Gen. Gilmore and Admiral
Dahlgren have co-operated earnestly and effectually
throughout the siege. They have entered on the
work with a determination of succeeding, and to
allow no temporary reverses or
.personal disagree
ments to interrupt its energetic prosecution. They
have cordially assisted each other, not only in punish

views and frequent personal interviews, as well as
the free access to each-other's supply of munitions,

THE STATES IN REBELLION.
The Union Movement in North Carolina
EFrom tke Atigneta Constitntionaliat.3 •
Under this head, the Knoxville Chronicle contains
the following article. We commend its perusal to
our readers, now, for the time , may come when per
sonally it may be applied to some in our State, who
like the serpent, Holden, would involve Georgia in
a strife that:cam:Lot but end in their total discomfiture
and disgrace:
"For some time past, we have noticed' particular
ly our North Carolina exchanges, and more especi
ally the 'discord and strife which seems' to be in
or easing in some sections of the State, caused by
the proceedings and meetings gotten up by the edi
tor of The Standard, published .in- Raleigh, the capi
tal of the. State. These nieetings, in our estimation,
are useless, uncalled for, hypocritical, and diaboli
cal in their tendency to the vital Interest of our
country's cause. The editor of this paper, Wm. H.
Rolden, has been (ever since the commencement of
our national difficulties) doing all within his power
_to .rtiate•a.dis' felon of party feeling_inthe oldfforth
Jeauer or tam part,
and daily -fifsues fuel to the flames of discord and
strife. He is a Northern man—at heart a corrupt
,7kankee, and yet he is allowed'in our midst to lead a
;'growing party, and circulate a paper which ii eager
.ly grasped and perused by an armed foe and secret
enemy. . * * * *
" Holdenehouid be dealt with to the full extent of
the laws of our land. In our opinion, his paper has
already givenNent to treasonable sentiments :mill
. cient to muzzle , his press; Unless he alters .his
litical course; justice to our cause will yet require
_such. It will be well for the whole country to under
stand this clearly; Theßepublican party will not re
cede a foot ; will not yield a jot of its principles so
long as we have such men as Holden to contend with
in our midst. Holden and his party seem to be Batts
., Bed With the Constitution just as it was up to, the
.tine of the first blow upop Fort Suoipter. They
speak to us in substance, 'lf you love and want
peice, strike hands with us under the Federal flag;
, enjoy as well as you may all your tights, and freely
grant us ours. ' Furthermore, this party becomes
mere bold; its days of infancy have passed, and it
agitin says, in substance,: If you are not satisfied
with the righte,you coul enjoy under the old Con
stitution, you do not deserve peace.' The cry of
this party is peace, peace, and it is striving to bring
.it about through the channel of Union meetings.
No one would have peace with more pleasure than
the writer, but it must be secured with honor to our
arms. We must be a free, separate, and independent
.People. In accordance with the laws of our Con
stitution, we should frown indignantly upon all
such conferences, compromises, and plans of adjust
ment as are presented by Holden and ills unprinci
pled party."
. FROM LEE'S ARMY.
A correspondent of the Constitutionalist writes:
The text is, Gen. Lee is "un- grand homme." No
thing escapes his keen eye ; and the comfort of his
men and the good of his country engage hisattention
to the neglect of everything like social enjoyments
and everyday pleasures. Gen. Lee is a working
man, and the troops of the. Army of Northern Vir
ginia make up a fighting army, the superior to which
the world has never-produced. God grant that no
disaster may overtake these heroes, and no defeat
stain their colors. .
Major General Wilcox, recently promoted as such,
has been assigned to the command of Plotter's old di
vieion' composed of Lane's and Scales' North Caro
lina brigades, McComan's South Carolina brigade,
and Thomas' Georgia brigade.- Wilcox's division
will doubtless achieve as great a fame as has been
made by the gallant brigade of Alabamians which
bears hia name.
Brig. Gen. Humphries, recently promoted as such,
will have command of Barksdale's old brigade. He
is a West Point man, having been there with the.
President. He is a moat capital officer, and a fit
successor to the worthy and lamented Barksdale.
Brig. Gen. Eppa Hutton will have command of

Foreign Intervention.
[Correspondence of the New - York Times.]
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Sept. 15, 1E63.
The foreign papere, I see, are full of rumors of
1 . French intervention. I have good reason for be
lieving them to be entirely groundless. The victo
-ties of Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Port Hudson
, bad quite as marked an_effect. in France as in Eng
- land. Beyond all question, previous to those victo
ries the French Emperor believed that his interven
tion would terminate the war. The paragraph in the
No nitetir.which attracted so much attention, proved
that thin ` his impression. A. very emphatic and
eremptoff , 'despatch from, our... Secretary of State

would most certainly prolort the War_andlizilarge

are very distinct, and I think' are regarded as emi
nently satisfactory by our Government. They show
' deafly that Louis Napoleon, whatever maybe his
personal 'inclinations, will never interfere in an
affair until' he le at least nrorany certain that Eng
land will follow his lead; and the recent change in
the tone of the London Timm (which is a most ex
cellent dial for. Government sunshine), and the ex
preseed sentiments of official personages in England,
have satisfied him that he will only endanger the
'entente cordiale with England, and isolate himself in

I may add, I think-with confidence, that the Presi

BY a rapid turn of the political wheel' Poland is

A grave anxiety weighs on men's minds as to the'
effects which might be produced if the Emperor of .
Austria should succeed in his attempts on the
German supremacy. -I have already told you that
this feeling existed in very high quarters, and to
such a degree As to render possible an arrangement
for the future of Poland, if she would accept it, in
which neither Austria nor England would be 'sow
suited; and this view is considered by many to be
confirmed by the presence of Prince Orloff; who is
now in :Parse, "sent, so says rumor, by the Emperor
Alexander to settle everything with the Emperor Napoleon:
The press has now taken up the question, and both'
the Constitutionnel and the Debals have spoken words
of warning against the ambitious and dangerous policy
of Vienna. Taking for its text the fifth paragraph
of the eighth article of the projected reform, the
Debate preaches a sermon which reads marvellously"
as if it were inspired. The'words of the clause
are in truth sufficiently striking : "If a war
threatens to break out between one of the Con
federate States which has
_possession's without the
Federal territory and a foreign Power, the. Directory
must call for a resolution of the Federal Council on
the subject of Federal participation in this twar ;
such resolution to depend on a simple majority of
voices," And from this the Debate very naturally
draws the.conclueion that Austria knows that she,
if head of the feaeration, could depend on " a simple
majority of voices'," and, therefore, would have all
Germany to defend Venice and Hungary. "Aus

it was her right and her duty. Now Austria, Who

at the same end by a different route. We may doubt
if she will succeed with her confederates ; but, if she
did succeed, certainly Europe would protest. Could
France and Italy accept a state of things which
would be a standing menace to their frontiers, and

[Milan (Aognat 2k) correspondonee of the Official Bets-

The military preparations which the Government
has been lately making appear to us to exceed by
far what can be required for home service. Officers
of every branch of the service are travelling abroad.
with the object of making contracts for the supply of
arms and materials of war to the Italian Govern.
ment. A major in the regiment of lancets stationed
here is at present in France, and has a carte blanche
to purchase thirty thousand saddles and bridles for
the cavalry, and the same number of hostler pistols.
Lieutenant Colonel Castellon is -in Et:island. and
goes from there to. Belgium, to purchase fifty thou
sand first-rate rifles for the army, and forty thousand
gun barrels for the National Guard. Captain de
Benedictis, of the engineers, is going to. Stockholm •
and Liverpool to study certain arrangements, the
introduction of which would facilitate the provision
ing an army in case war broke out. Two naval offl
cers will also go to England to inspect .the con
struction of a new sort of iron-clad ships, on which
system the Italian Government intend to have their
new iron-plated frigates constructed. The Second
Engineering division here in Milan has received the
order to draw out a plan of a great powder maga
zine, which is to be constructed here for the mo
bilised-National Guard. All the superintendents of
military stores have received notice that they must
see to it that their ammunition ddpete are provided
with the maximum quantity of war materiel. It is
only surprising that in its present financial straits
the Government can find money for all these ex
penses. • The month of October is appointed as the
period for a strict inspection of all the troops and all
the stores. The King himself is expected here in
the middle of - September, and great military prepa

TER. ANGLO-REBEL IRON RAMS
[Prom the Manchester Examiner. August 317
One of the WIC- iron steam•rams built by Messrs.
Laird, at Eirkenhead,*was launched at their works,
on Saturday, August 29, in the presence of a large
crowd of spectators, who were freely admitted into
the yard.
The vessel launched on Saturday was christened
the El Monassir, or Victory, her consort, launched
a few weeks ago, being named the Toussoun. When
launched; both vessels bore the Englishilag astern and
the French flag amidships. .
Each is two hundred and thirty feet long, forty
two feet beam, and nineteen feet deep. Their mea
surement is one thousand eight hundred and fifty
tons, and their engines are of three hundred and
fifty horse power. They are plated with four-80(1.a
-half inch iron on a teak backing of great thickness,
bolted on to the frame of the ship, which supports
the inner shell. The desire are alto iron plated, and
the iron bulwarks are hinged at the lower edge, so
as to be thrown down in action. Each " ram " is
pierbed for six guns on each aide, and they are fitted
on the deck with large cupola towers on Captain
Cole's plan, with two guns to each cupola. Their
bows project under the water so as to form a " ram."
The iron plates are so beautifully planed and fitted
that it is almost impossible to tell whether the ves
sels are plated or not. The_cunols......rs rore_and_aft
0u,..—,-...romayre an extreme range nearly
fore and aft ofthe vessel. Each ," ram" is bark
rigged, having the lower masts and yards of iron.
The officers and men have accommodation above
deck, in the poop and forecastle at each end and be
low the deck. When launched, the El Monassir was
taken into the four-hundred•and-lifty•feet-graving
dock, alongside of her consort, the El Toussoun,
which is expected to be ready for sea in about a
month.
Great tearecy has been exercised during the build.
ing of the. "rams," but in spite of this they have
long excited the suspicions of the Federal officials
and sympathizers in this country, and the article in
the Times of Friday last, apropos of the memorial of
the Emancipation' Society to Lord John Russell,
has more recently excited the public curiosity re
specting them. It was stated at the launch, on Sa
turday, that, in spite of all their precautions, the
Federals Dave managed to get spies into Messrs.
Laird's s' ards, and we shall doubtless soon hear their
opinions of these formidable "rams."
TUE ANOLO•REBEL- NAVVY.
From the London Times, August 31.1
Though it is well known that several iron- clads
are in course of • construction in various parts of the
kingdom for foreign Governments, and although
one has already sailed for Russia., and another for.
Denmark, without occasioning surprise, the public
suspect tiot any vessel of war built on the Mersey
must be mended for the Confederate Government.
For a considerable lime past mysterious assertions
have been circulited respecting two iron Clads build
ing in Messrs. Laird's yard, and the Federal spies
have never • lost sight of them. A few days ago it
was currently- reported ,and -believed that one of
these vessels had slipped away to sea clandes
tinely, to join company with, the Florida, off- the
Irish coast. That such was not the case a visit to
-Messrs. Laird's yard made evident. There at present
lie - the two suspected vessels, side by side, with the
French flag floating over the one nearest completion.
Messrs. Laird makes no mystery about EL Tousson
and El Mounassir, as the ships are named. They
are undoubtedly built on French account, and it is
understood that the French vice consul has given
the collector of customs satisfactory explanations
respecting them. El Toussan, which was launched
some time ago, will be ready for% a trial trip in a
month or six - weeks. El Mounassir was only
launched on Saturday, but already a portion of her
machinery is on board: Perhaps there are not two
more formidable frigates afloat. They are 230 ft.
over all, 42 ft. beam, width 19. ft. 6.- in. in depth of
hold. Tonnage, 1,8,5043. m. ;-horsopower, 350. They
will combine speed with good seagoing qualities.
They
_are very flat bottomed, with exceedingly fine
ends, and will sit low in the water. Their draught,
when loaded, will be about fifteen feet; estimated
speed, eleven knots. The stem is so formed that
the vessel maybe used as a- ram, and the stern,
which, overhangs, affords protection to the iscrew
- and iudder from shot or collisions. The rig
is, that of a bark, the masts, which are tele
scopic, and the lower yardi, being of iron. The,
armor-plating on the sides of the vessel is
foin and a half inches thick amidships, and
rather less at the ends.. The plates, the joining of
which together is imperceptible. are fitted into a
teak backing of great strength. The deck is or live
inch teak, protected with iron. The bulwarks let
down in case of action, in order toallow the turret.
guns to flit over them. -They have two cylindrical
turrets on Captain Coles' principle—one before and
the other abaft the engine-room, heavily plated.
These turrets are, made for two guns each. The
pilot•house is formed of teak and iron. At either
end of the vessel are raised decks, which afford ex
cellent accommodations for the officers and crew.
In the- captain's cabin provision - is made for two
heavy stern guns, and heavy guns can be trained
from the forecastle deck. These-vessels have caps

IRISH ADVICE TO IRISHMEN IN AMERICA.
(From the United Iriah MELD (Dublin); Angtut `9.1
From the tune of the British Sournals we are in
duced to believe that England is at the bottom of
the resistance to the draft, for the Federal army. It
is quite natural that men should be opposed to con
scription of the kind,,and that such a measure would
be more especially unpopular in a free country like
America. Win therefore, the more easy to 'stir-up'
opposition English gold •is at work in New
York. Her emissaries are there taking advantage
of the popular prejudices and doing more to damage
the cause of the Union than if she lied actually
recognized the independence of the Southern States.
.
ThaLondon Times has an article gloating over the
anticipated resistance of Governor Seymour to the
draft. It would certainly- be playing the game of
the enemy to perfection. England would give the
Governor a million pounds starling if he could be
induced to take such a step. It might tend' to the
prolongation of the war ors the destruction of the
Union,
but most unquestionably to the complete annihila
tion of Dish, influence in America, and; an end of all
hepe for the freedom of fatherland our, generation.
Let them stand, till the last,

alongside their own in battle, and under whose folds alone
thegcan find freedom and protection.

Government worthy of the name to defend the honor
of its Mfg, and to protect the life and property of its
subjects. It is justified besides by the importance of
the French interests Involved in Mexico. Theter
facts must not be lost eight of. Our commerce with'
Mexico represents the fifth of the total commerce of
that countq. It is second only to the English com
merce, and is more than double that of the com
merce of the United States. The importations
from France to Mexico form more than a fourth of
the whole. They amounted in 1861 to more than
24,000,001) of francs ,out of eightpert millions
($6,000,000 out of $lB 000,000). Those o the United
States did not reach twelve millions ($2,500,000.) As
to the exportations other than the precious metals,
France holds - the Wet rank, absorbing 'the third of
the Mexican products exported. • Caa the United
States put forward, as an excuse for interfering in
Mexican affairs, the care of their commercial in
terests, When their commerce with that country is
not quite the fifth part of the aggregate commerce of
France and Eng/and?' Our rights would necessarily
take precedence of Weirs.
If, on the contrary r they should set up a political
reason; if they , should pretend that republican in
stitutions are better calculated than a monarchy to
restore calm and peace to Mexico, and to assure
there the safety of all interests, the answer would
be too easy. It would suffice to invite Mr. Seward
to read over again themesaages of President Bu
chanan and the reports of the 'United States minis
ters to Mexico. The United States know how to
reckon. They will not putthe question on the com
mercial ground ; their memoe,V is too good to put it
on the political ground.

THE FRENCH BLOCKADE OF THE MEXICAN FORTS.
(From L'Opinion National of 26th Aurast 3 -••••
Up to the present the blockade of the Mexican.
ports had not been rigorously enforced. Admiral
Jurien de la Graviere, ana afterwards Admiral
Bosse, bad shown the greatest tolerance to com
merce other than contraband of war ; and several
ports---Matamoros among others—had even re.
maimed oper. Matamoros, situated on the Rio
Bravo del Norte, at some distance from its mouth,
bad, for the last two years, assumed great im
portance on account of the war between the North
and South, and on account of the Mexican inter
vention. It is through this port thrit Juarez re
ceived arms, munitions, and supplies ; but the inha
bit ants could not have found in that trade a sufficient
source of wealth to account for the immenseexten
sion which their' town has taken. The real source
of their wealth was all in the illicit trade which they
carried on with the Southern Stales. Matamoros
had become the port of entry and departure of the
Southern Confederacy. All the vessels sent from
England to Matamoros had for the real object of
their destination Texas and the Coniederate States.
It is by that way that the elaveholders have re
ceived arms coming front the best English manufac
tories, munitions, medicines, cloth, &c.
But Juarez, having taken refuge in the neighbor..
hood of the Rio Grande, Admiral Bosse has ordered
the rigorous blockade of the northeast coast, so as
cut off from him the means of supply. This mea
sure, dictated by prudence, obtains a .two•fold re
sult. It affects Juarez, but it affects particularly
the Richmond Government, and comes unexpect
edly to the aid of the efforts of the Washington Go
vernment to intercept the contraband trade with the
South. Already several vessels, among which was
an English bark, with a cargo of arms valued at
three hundred thousand dollars, intended for the
South, have been captured by the French squadron.
The rigorous blockade of Matamoros is a fatal blow for
the slave Confederacy; and if it had been sooner applied
the war would probablybe at an end. ..
EARL RUSSELL'S FOREIGN DIPLOMACY
[Froth the London Faturday Review, August 29
It is not to be supposed that Lord Russell will con
fine his autumnal recreations to such a very mild
kind of extravagance as the indulgence of the tradi
tional Whig tendency to nepotism. He will feel it to
be necesstay to his importance as former leader of
_the liberal party. to make &sensation _of some kind
i ny,ntsroreimponcy. - whistparticntartiart - of the
World he will select as the theatre for suctrati
bition,Must, of course, be a matter of pure' conjea
ture. We can only predict with certainty that it
will not be - any territory belonging to a strong Pow
er; and that; after all, Will be a great consolation to
people of a nervous disposition. It is very possible
that he may indulge in the composition. of some of
those sharp epistles by which he has made himself
famous on more than one occasion ; ' and -that he
may, in some peculiarly capricious moment, de
spatch them to America, or France, or Prugsta. But
when he receives a still sharper reply, as heundoubt.
wily will, it will have no effect in aggravating the
hostility of his language and demeanor. .On the
contrary, the rebuff will immediately produce a
charming access of courtesy and compliance. There
has never been a foreign minister-with whom Great Pow.
era must have found it so pleasant to deal as Lord Rus
sell, just after he has been snubbed.
* * * He has made a great many rep:ton
' strances to the Federal Government for gross Me
galities, the smallest of which wouhrhave brought
down condign punishment—reprisals at the very
least—upon a weaker Power. So far as redress is con
' Cenied, these remonstrances have been treated with
entire contempt. Lord Russell cannot bear such
treatment without resenting it; but he does not like
to recent it on Mr. Seward. It has been, therefore, a
surprise to no one who is familiar with the workings
of his mind that we should have made our demands
upon Japan in unusually peremptory terms, and
should be rapidly drifting into a war for the purpose
of extorting a submission to them, which the Je;-
paneee Government is in no condition to give. Japan
is exactly a type of the class of Power upon which the
Foreign Secretary likes to discharge the wrath which has
accumulated in disputes withiarger Stales. It is too
distant to excite very keen !nterest, too barbarous
to make its case known in Ragland, and too
weak to offer any resistance that might be damaging.
If we may venture on a prediction with regard to
his proceedings at some later period of the autumn,
we should select some State of a similar class as his
probable victim. Chili or Siam will probably re
ceive his earliest consideration. He has already had
a brush with the latter Power at a place ci,lled
Tringanu, which wholly failed to excite any atten
tion in England, because nobody knew whereto look
for the theatre of war upon the map. The l'lnium
of Muscat and the. Queen of Madagascar also pre
sent favorable opportunities for a display of heroic
valor on the part of this country, of wnich it is.
Quite possible that Lord Russell may avail himself.
But of course their treatment will depend on the sort of re
buffs we mad receive from Russia or America.
Probably these distant exploits will exhaust' his
warlike ardor for the present year. He will meddle
with plenty of other " complications. nearer home;
but his meddling will not lead to war. No doubt he
has a plan of his own for the reconstruction of the
German Empire, and has tent it in a curt despatch
to the King of Bavaria. His genius for constitu
tional legislation has, of course, led him to consider
the present circumstances of `Mexico ; and , as soon
as the Archduke is fairly installed; he will doubtless
send him a constitution by the first mail. At present,
he abstains from touching upon this delicate point,
seeirg that the French are still in possession ; for
he has an aversion, which, he cannot overcome, to
seending impertinent despatches to Paris. How
far. in the present temper of the King of Prussia
and his ministers, he will venture to proffer to
them his invaluable advice in their present dif
ficulties, is a matter of doubt. M. Von Bismark
is so completely his superior in the art of insolence
that he usually refrains from mentioning Magna
Charta to the Prussian Cabinet. Another Reform
bill for Poland; - alecture to Italy upon the advan
tages of peace, and a homily to Spain upon duty
of religious toleration, will probably complete his
labors in the department of exhortation. .But these
will be purely of a pacific kind. They may provoke
the interchange of hard words, and - may possibly
draw upon England a rebuke to which it is very un
dignified in-her to submit. But they will keep Lord.
Russell's n sloe before the public, and will enable him
to - console himself with the reflection that after all
Lord Palmerston has not got everything, and that a
great part of the management of the affairs of the
world is still in genuine - Whig hands. And after all;
when we reflect upon all that he has to endure at the hands
of Mr. Seward, it is hard to refuse him the consolation
of at least the show of energy and valor , in other guar
ters.
A TUNNEL THROUGH MOUNT GOTHARD
The Italie of Turin states that conferences were
lately . held at Lueern for the purpose of discussing
the expediency of,piercing a tunnel through Mount
Gotbard. Delegates from thirteen cantons and three
half cantons attended, the population represented
by them amounting to about two millions of souls.
The two companies of the - Swiss ()entre,' and North=
eastern lines were also represented. M.' Zink,:of:
Lucern, read a report drawn up by EL Welti, civil
engineer, on the whole line frominuelen to Lugano.
According to one of the .two projects presented,-the
tunnel is to be pierced at an altitude of-twelve hun
dred metres above the level of the sea, and atone
hundred metres above that of Airolo (Tessin) and
Goeschenen (Uri). Its length is one hUndred- and
tlfty.three kilometres, and it may be pierced by the
aid of two shafts, one one hundred and sixty-six
meths, and the other two hundred and ninety-six
metres, in depth. According to the second project
the tunnel to be pierced at an altitude of fifteen hun
dred metres above the level of the sea, which is
that of the celebrated hospice, will only be ninety
eight kilometres in length ; but, as a set off, the
rest of the line passes through the" most unfavora
ble ground possible. A more detailed report on this
important question is in course of preparation.

[CerreaPondence of the Cincinnati Gazette l
About the 25th day of September, left, the rebel
general Bragg lamed an outdrew from'Camp Diets
Robinson to the enticing of. Kentuthy and the
Northwest, urging them to rally to hi standard
and free themselves from the Lincoln tytanny. That
Mere were a great many disloyal men ImKentucky
who were waiting for an opportunity to join the re
bele,-was well known, and General Bragr had good
reason' to call on them to join his standard by giving
neat an' assurance that he would be able' to per.
msnehtly bold Kentucky and make it a peat of the
Southern Confederacy. ni B army under General
Smith had been victorious at Richmond in Angus%
and he /fad marched withbut molestation into the
interior of * the State with .ffilty thousand veterans
from Tennessee,
- The redbral flame, under McClellan, after seifere
love and ficqiient defeats, had, been compeller to
abandon the James river.
.. . .
GenerarPOpe'is army had been thoroughly tined _
up, and Washington was left so exposed that Beriong
apprehension's were felt that the rebels would tie
able, by a vigorous dash, to take and hold it. To
the most courageous men the Federal cause looked
gloomy enouelf. nitric to the timid and those who
were vibrative between duty and disloyalty, it',
looked desperate: TO the latter class the circular of
General- Bragg' was opportune, and certainly had -
its effect, for the - moment that the Kentucky Le
gislature assembled at the capital in January, 1863;
the chairman ofthe Committee on Federal Rela
tions introduced a' series of resolutions denouns- -
hie the action-and' policy of the, Federal Govern
ment in many things that had been done prior
to the spring session of 1862, as well as after•
ward—the whole concluding with a resolution ask
ing for the assembling of a Convention of dele
gates to meet at Louisville; the delegates to be
sent from Kentucky and the Northwestern Staten, -
to prescribe terms of - peace between the 'United.
States and the Southern Confederacy. Shortly after
Gen. Bragg issued •his address, several men wife
occupied eminent political positions in Kentucky
and the Northwestern States, who had previously
professed to be in favor of the vigorous prosecution
of the war against the rebels, immediately changed
front, charged that the war on the part of the United
States was an abolition war, and declared them
selves in favor of withhoidhig means for its further
prosecution. Conspicuous amongst those were Har
ney, chairman of the Committee on Federal Rela
tions in the Kentucky House of Representatives;
Nat. Wolf. a member of same committee; Voor
hies and Hendricks, of Indiana; Richardson and
Story, of Illinois ; - Vallandigham, Pendleton, and
others, of Ohio.
The facts relied upon, the arguments used and
means of bringing about the result which they do.
sired, were singularly cognate to those used by the
Champions of the scheme in the Kentucky Legisla
ture. Barney, Wolf, & Co. having failed in their
project in the House of Representatives. and finding
that their objects were fully understood, although
artfully concealed under a string of metaphysical
propositions, shortly afterwdrd pulled off their dis
guise and declared themselves to be for no more men
and no- more money to aid the United States in
overthrowing the rebellion. Precisely the stand that
'Breckinridgc and Burnett, of Kentucky. and Vallandie
ham, of Ohio, had taken in the Federal Congress at the
extra session in 1811.
Breckinridge, immediately after the adjournment
of that session of Congress, went within the rebel.
lineh, and acceepted the commission of brigadier
general in their army., Burnett went into the rebel
Senate at Richmond, Virginia, claiming to repro
sent the State of Kentucky in that body. Yellen
digham since watched "over the border the agents
in the Northern States" that Maury speaks of, who "
are to aid the Southern Confederacy.
It will be remembered that Bragg retreated from
Kentucky in October last; that shortly afterwards
Jeff Davis visited his Southern dominions, whir&
continued to beyond Christmas last; that he visited
Bragg at his headquarters, where he remained seve
ral days, and went from thence to Jackson, the eapi.
tal of Mtrdesippi. where he addressed the legislature
of that State on the 21st December, 1862; that, not
withstanding Bragghed Viten driven out of Kentucky
,by Northwestern troops: and the State protected
' from the ravages of the rebel army by Northwestern
men, Davis said in his speech to the Legislature of
Mississippi that the first ray of hope• and the Prot
gleam of light that would burst upon the Southern Con
federacy would be from the Northwest.
From the way that the Northwest had poured oat
her life-blood to expel Bragg from Kentucky, no
inference to justify Davis , prediction to the Missis
sippians could be fairly drawn. On the contrary,
everything ostensible was against such en inference.
But he had information from General Bragg that
did warrant hie prediction; and in a very few days
after Davie made his prophecy a movement to tie
the hands of the United States Government by
withholding men and money for the further prose
cution of the war against the rebels, was nom
meeced simultaneously by Harney, Wolf, & CM., in
Kentucky ; Voorhies, Hendricks, er, Co.. in Indiana ;
Vallandigham, Pendleton, & Co., in Ohio ; Richard
son. Story, &Co, in Illinois. -
That these men, at distant points from
each other.
should all commence to cripple the Government and
aid the rebellion by precisely the same meane -and
line of action." without a concerted plan in fulfil
ment of Davis' prophecy, and in the very place
oireted out by him, and amongst the people ad
ch eared by Bragg. is very singular. to say the least
of it ; and to men who are capable_ of connecting
facts and drawing legitimate ipferences, has the a.p
pearance of a moral certainty that there was a con
spiracy to aid the rebellion by detaching the State
of Kentucky and the Northwestern States from
the United State. obae-eehe - potentito political in
. strument through which these, States and people
-were - ,to be authoritatively hound was to
.be the
convention ,V) he called termeet at Louisville, under
tee auspices' of the Kentucky Legislature. That
the whole plan was arranged by Bragg and his maim
series while he was in? Kentucky is a eonclusion.
that is irresistible. The foregoing facts are the moirt
prominent in the argument, but there—are others
scarcely less conclusive, leaning to the eameegsult
t- The Legislature of Illinois and Indiana were filled
with men in the interest of these schemes, who tried
by the most violent and illegal-methods to prevent
the loyal executive officers of those States from ful
filling their duties to the nation. Conventions of
men calling themselves Democrates assembled at
Springfield and Indianapolis, armed to the teeth,
threatening vengeance against the officers of the
United State 0, without provocation fired upon
United States soldiers, and in convention published
resolutions of the most incendiary character, pledg
ingthemselves to withhold men and money for the
prMliccution of the war against the rebels, ..nd with
the vilest epithets of odium denounced the United
States; and the war as unnecessary, unconstitu
tional,-and cruel against their - Southern brethren.
Succeeding the meetings ebullitions of violence ma
nifested themselves almost simultaneously through•
out the Northwest. The prognostics of Davis cer
fair ly were being fulfilled. It is incomprehensible
how any loyal lover of his country can be deceived
by these thinly-illeguieed rascals.
Subsequent to the foregoing are another class of
facts leading to the same conclusion. Your corres
pendent of the Army of the Cumberland says. that
in conversation with members of the mostintelligent
citizens of the Southern States, together with many
captured rebel officers, that there - was an arrange-.
went between Vallendigham and others in the
Northwestern States that the rebels should invade
the North, and that when - they appeared in sufficient
force to protect their allies, the Copperheads were to
rally to their assistance. The same fact is testified to
by a gentlenzan from Richwand, Virginia; who heard the
matter freely spoken of in the spring while it is a notori
ous fact that prior to the invasion of Pennsylvania by the
rebels that the Richmond Enquirer had frequent editorfalr
addressed to the K. G. C's elks , ' Northern and North
western States to keep their ' lamps burning.
It is equally notorious that the mind of the. Demo
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Ohio
bee undergone an unaccountable change since last
fall. He was then in favor of a speedy enforcement
of the draft, and wanted to take command of a regi
ment to conquer the rebels. Now he assumes that
the United States has been wrong from the first,
and, of consequence, the rebels right. At the same
time that the Democratic Convention that nominee
ted him for Lieutenant Governor was in session, it
was stated by members of the Convention that the
banished Vallandigham would come out of the South
in a blockade ruiner, and comet° the Clifton House,
in Canada. The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer made the
same statement. A singular coincidence of. know
ledge between persons at such distant points, in hos
tile countries, unless the plan had been prearranged.
The Convention delegates and Richmond Newspaper
had their statements soon a ftenveritied to the letter.
Following hie arrival atthe Clifton House, Leete in
vasion into Pennsylvania took place. The
noirsance of John H. Morgan into Kentucky, In
cilium, and Ohio, to be-followed by Bragg's army,
took place also. The rabble of New York city were .
roused into an incendiary and violent mob to over
throw the laws of the Staten, and by diverting the
attention of the Government, to further the rebel
plane, and snake their invasions a victorious suc
cess: All this while the banished Democratic candi
date for Governor of Ohio resided at the Clifton
House, and watched over the border, and nulled the .
wires, and controlled the agents that were to give
more potential aid to the Southern Confederacy.
than foreign intervention coulddo.- -
Lieut. Maury, although a rebel agent in Europe,
seems to have fully understood the plan. Ilia re
cently-published letter - reveals the,great "Prophet
-or--33.borasaan," who was to look over the border
and do the wear of the -rebel Government—to stir
`rip - internal_ strife, that the rebels might set fire tee
the four corners of Cincinnati. exact large remora.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Otnt ARMIES AND THEIR TERM oy Snityfou.L-The
Times makes_a grave mistake in its .announcsment
that " next. May, we shall lose at one stroke, all the
men in our army except those who are raising under
the present draft, and the few_who voluntarily en
tered dUring the past winter." In the first place,
the threelhundred thousand men called for -in 1861 .
were mustered into service, not in May, but in the
fall of that year. - This original levy has, it is true,
been greatly depleted by the casualties of war,
but the ranks have constantly received accessions
,by recrditing, some of the States steadily send
ing forward fresh- men. In the next place, a large,
proportion of the men raised under the order for
a draft in August of last year entered the service
for three years ; this was the case in all the West
ern States; and, besides, a considerable body of vo
lunteers were, at the same time, obtained under the
further order to. fill up the slight deficiency in the ,
quota 01 the call of 1861, some of the States which
bad filled their quotas taking this opportunity to fill
up their veteran regiments. Thum,- of -the men now
in the field, none will be released until next fall,
w hile more than one-half-of all, our . armies, it is
safe to say, have two years yet to 'mire. It is to be
remembered, also, that already,there are fifty thou
sand colored soldiers organized into _regiments, and
the work of enlistment among the blacks is still so
active that this number will Soon be doubled—Post.
SECESSION "FROIS SECESSIA.—A. letter from
Brownsville, Arkansas, to a moining paper says:

The letter adds that a. number of the rebel leaders
are' to meet at Austin, Texas, soon, and arrange
their, plane. Late rebel papers intimate that the,

success ofthe rebellion, this disclosure of the Arkaik,
