All was quiet in their army near Chattanooga, but the lines of the two armies were very close, and a battle apparently is impending. Bragg, considerably reinforped, it is supposed will endeavor to draw a battle as soon . as Possible. A srnotar. despatch to The Press from Washing -ton, reports some interesting information gained from - rebel deserters. General Lee is believed to have gone South, and his main army has fallen back lo Richmond. There are now about 50,000 melt twound Richmond, the command of which has been given to findereon, of South Carolina. The desert ere were sure that a large number of troops had gone South and West. Tan death of General Sam Houston, of Texas, is „announced for the third time, by rebel papers. This time the announcement is probably correct. Gen. Houston was born in Virginia, in Ms, For service under Jackson he wae made a lieutenant in 1814. He was a district attorney, major general, congress man, and at last governor of Tennessee. He lived for a number of years among the Onerokee Indians in Tennessee, and Subsequently emigrated to Texas, ewhere he took lead in the war of independence against Mexico, and wan twice elected President of the young republics. After its admission to the Union, General Houston served many years in the 'United States Senate, and was Governor of the State at the beginning of the war. He for a time resisted Secession, but was overruled and deposed. From the brief mention of his death in the Rich mond papers, it is suspected that Gen. Houston was still an enemy of the Confederacy. His late history is involved in doubt. Tan troubles of the Kansas-Missouri border are still in great ferment. The people of the border counties have been fleeing in great haste, in many cases leaving their whole property behind them. Five thoNtsand in one week up to Saturday last, had crossed the river, refugees from the retaliatory raid of the Kansans, who in revenge for the massacre of Lawrence, are scourging the border far and wide. 4 Thousande of loyal people, it is complained, have become eufferere, and the old feud between Kansas And Missouri is threatened to be revived in`greater terror than ever. The commandant of the post of Clinton, Henry county, Missouri, lately received notice from QuantTel to vac•tte the place, or accept thealternative of having the town burned, and all its citizens killed. GEHERAL STEELE, commanding in Arkansas, has ,given ofkoial notice 'of the occupation of Little Rock. Gen. Davidson was pursuing the enemy. dini.

Y., Sept. 17 * , 1863 The incidents of our canvass of the north western counties of the State will be given in an tlaborate letter, the notes of which I placed in the hands of your special reporter, when I parted with Governor Cuitin and his friends at the town of Corry, Eriv, comity, on Tffsday last. A few words will not be out of place . before that account is published. I started for New York at Cony, on Tueschi3r afternoon at three o'clock, distant over five him dred miles, and, after a - single change of cars, reached here yesterday ( Wednesday) afternoon. We should have Made our desti nation at ten o'clock yesterday morning, but for an accident on s i ,cennecting road, which detained the Buffalo, passengers. It is Bur- Fising how rapidly, railroads have multi plied within a few. years. Northwest Penn sylVania is interlaced with them. The anti quities are waked up in their dusty tombs by these iron reformers and their fiery squa drons.. Erie, Crawford, Venango, Warren, Elk, - Potter, McKean, and the whole tier of border ancualte counties, will soon be, so locked together, and so welded to the general system of modern inter-com munication, as to open all the avenues of trade and travel. The *sin and the shame are, that the Sunbury and Erie Railroad is not yet completed to Erie. How we' felt this - in all our long journey cannot be de scribed. The whole of the counties on and near the Lake `shore; are now dependent upon. New York'. New York papers reach them at least twelve hours before ours, and if one desires to get to P4iadelphia, he must go to Elmira and lie Npver three or four hours, or to New York, b.y way of. the Camden and Amboy. Ifith.e di rect line were now built, as I cannot help believing it ought long age to have been built, it would soon make Erie a city equal to Buffalo, and would react upon all . the region between two of the finest cities of our State, Erie on the Lake, and Philadel phia on the Delaware. t There is an intense Philadelphia feeling in that region, and : a long-pending anxiety to be independent of-' New York. This is shown in nothing more pleasurably than in the •bonds which unite pOliticali friends. I found much interest as to probable vote of Philadelphia and the Eastexn counties in the,coming election. I tokl.them that the ltal men were fully up to.the good work, and that I believed Phila delphia, Chester, Delaware, and Lancaster, 'would surpass themselves. But what of Berks, Northampton, Lehigh, York ? That is a, question for the loyal men in those counties. It is clear that the Copperheads rely upon heavy voles in their strongholds to overbalance loyal communities; and it is nq'torious that their chief dependence in pro ducing this result is the system of falsehood and terror to which they have resorted. What are loyal citizens doing to correct and defeat these • schemes?.-If they are' in a Minority it is no reason for supineness, They should, indeed, work with all the more zeal to reduce the heavy majorities only, grven to embarrass the Government' tuid to protract the war. In 1858 every one of the heavy counties alluded to, including Berks, rose indignantly against the sliame less treachery and proscription which pro duced this war. In that year we defeated Glancy Jones, and elected good old Schwartv, to Congress, and we also de feated Owen Jones and elected John. "Wood. Every one of: - the present pre- T pcinderating — Democratic counties felt the shock, and its majority was either reversed .or greatly cut down. York, one of. the strongest of these strongholds to.day, was -shaken from =its borders to its heart ,by the bold truths of the revOlting Democrats, and the bolder treason of the Buc , hanan para sites. Surely, that which then stirred so many Democrats is not now .lndi#erently remembered ? Surely, the crimes which suc- ceeded -.and were , born: of this' , treason are not to be' Overlooked and forgiven ? And surely, the men who rebilked Buchanan for, his course cannot now, sympathize with -Jefferson Davis.? These 'are questions that ruen in - WA answer to' their consciences and their God. Do you notice how the New York Herald excoriates the Copperheads because they were so dreadfully- slaughtered in Maine ? This is :,the refinement of cruelty. It is- like stabbing a dying friend. But it points another moral and administe`rs an other lesson. :Without stopping to strength en the point already clear to all, that the. Arad Igt probably more responsible for the abandonment by the few fair leaders left to the skeleton of the Old Democracy, of all recognized Democratic principles, and without again showing that this abandon ment has resulted in a bloody crop of riot and murder and prolonged war, let me ask whether the Democrats of Pennsylva nia will not do what the Democrats of Maine, California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island have done ? They have heretofore done better than t. any other men of their school. Their example inspired thousands who still stand firm. Will the Democrats be the first to fly in the face of this record ? We shall See. J. W. F. The Administration and Our Friends in Missouri. We have no quarrel with the Hisao' uriDe mocrat, nor with any loyal newspaper in the West. We do not see , in the comments we saw fit to make upon the conduct of the "Radical Emancipationists" anything to justify the anger manifested by that journal. It is possible that the Eastern loyalists do not understand the real issues before,the people in Missouri, but we will do the friends of the Democrat thejustice to say that the fault is al together our own, for if any party or faction in the country has succeeded in making a noise and, endeavored to win the ear of the people' by loud outcries and exclamations, it is this party or faction known as " 'Radi cal Emancipationists." We feel almost as confident of receiving a despatch every eve- ning from Missouri telling us of some reso lution against Lams NAPOLEON and the President as We are of receiving a despatch from New Ycrk containing the shipping in- telligence. So that Missouri politics have become a question.,of patience. As we un- derstand the divisions of sentiment among that people, there are three parties : one em bracing radical emancipationists, and known in the political circles as " the Charcoal" party ; a second comprising loyal men who •do not accept the extreme doctrines cot the former, and 1119.W1t hs "the Claybanks ;" the third party may be said to include those, who, while retaining their oath of dig giance, are against the Government, and endeavor, by aiding the South, to cause the overthrow of the Government. Plain people here speak of such men as " Cop perhet.ds," and we see by the Dem,9erai that such a distinction is observed in Missouri. Perhaps this is not the precise classification of the Democrat, al though it virtually admits that there are loyal men who cannot accept its doctrines, in these words : "THE PRESS would hard ly seem to be aware that there are but two parties in this State—which is the fact—the Radicals and Conservatives. If the former do..not embrace all the sound loyalists 171 the State," 4c., 4c. The question with .a radical man here would be why does not the party " embrace all the sound loyalists in the State r—what rule of political faith have I that sound loyalists cannot sit in communion, with me?-what have I done that I am thus 'at enmity with men who are firm in their allegiance to the Government and their sup port of the Administration ?" In the East we know but two parties, the loyal and disloyal. We make' no other test, and yet we act together, and at the same time believe as sincerely in emancipation as our friend, The Democrat. If we have spoken slightingly of the Radi cal Emancipationists in Missouri, it is be-, cause we do not think their efforts are serious enough for any other treatment. We do them no injustice. As we said before, " they deserve all the praise that can be given to men of honest purpose, and the courage with which they have preached,the gospel of freedom among the heathens of treason and alavery will be remembered with pride in the years to come." We may go beyond this, and say that in principle they are right, and that there can be no nobler ambition than to rid the land of slavery. But is it just that they should lose sight of all policy in their dealings witic. the -Government?. Dees it not seem ~ that their course is very much that of brave and devoted, but at the same time giddy and impetuous warriors, who no sooner gain their triumph than they' lose it by division-and jealousy. The very qualities - that made thadvicterions before are - now leading them to danger. Their best friend is the Administration. The. President has been to Missouri a kind, for bearing, and indulgent parent—he has driven armed rebellion from its midst, and his ministers have been severe and just with. unarmed rebellion. He has given it eman cipation, for to him and to the policy he inspired, emancipation is justly due. And yet, forgetful of this, these impatient enthu siasts make the President an especial ob ject of assault, aLd we have the Democrat itself speaking or the National Administra tion as " stubbornly planting itself in the path of reform," and again saying that the operations of the " prowling- robbers" and " assassins" are invited and protected by the policy of the Government in Missouri. If we understood these clithes as being calmly and deliberately made, we much understand Mr. Ims - coilf himself as' being as violently against "reform" and freedom as Mr. VALLANDIGHAIsi, and as guilty of tile massacre at Lawrence as guktvram. We will not do the writer in the Democrat any such injustice. We know he means no such chargé, and we only suppose the case in order to show himwhat a terrible thing the English language is in the hands of angry men. While we do this, we must be frank Neth our impatient friends in Misswati, an ad monish them of the danger Ehey are wooing. 'When the loyal nip:looks to Kentucky, or Tennessee, or Virginia, he finds his loyal friends united on a platform of sympathy -with the AdministratioNa- They see the em.- barrassments that surround . it, and are wil ling to trust and support it jit i ghe present, knowing that in .the future a,llywill be well. When he looks to Missouri, he finds one section of his- friends Arrayed against the Adininistration and covering it with invec tive, and another section embracing many "sound loyalists of the State" driven into the midst of another organization. He will, naturally ask why it is so, and the answer will give him pain. He will be told .that in Missouri, unless a citizen endorses theae as: saults on the Administration, and those who execute its policy, he is-not recognized as loyal. He will be told there are but two parties, one occupying the " identical plat form which has been laid down" by the radicals of Missouri," and that "all who cannot stand on that ground shoull be at once looking out for comfortable quar ters among the Copperheads." He will certainly, say, as-we say now, that with all regard for the Emancipationists of Missouri, with every sympathy for their heroism, and with a full belief that the general principles they profess are correer, - while their manner of enforcing them' IS painful' and offensive, he does not intend to be driven from his al legiance to the cause, nor to be ranked among the enemies of the country, beamitig he is not among-those who revile the Government. Do away with all, petty divisionsll Let, l us have no more such tests, but let there: be one grand precept—loyalty or disloyalty. Then our friends in Missouri will find that their labor has not been vain, nor their enthusiasm so much embarrassment to the Government, and so much comfort for the enemies of the cause. Tiix most persiatent and magnificent lying of this whole war has been in connection with the conduct of the negro troops at the siege of Port Hudson.— World. The WOrkl uses strong words, generally much stronger than its arguments. We admit that persistent and magnificent lying has been done about the negro troops; but the question is, by whom was it done? ,We-'think it was the World which predicted they would never fight. ,But, if the most persistent and magnificent lying of the whole war is to be sought, it will not be foUnd in ropckeries of the nagro, but in Democratic slanders of the Goitrunient.

We see that the obtaining 'old lady who presides over the Democratic, Club, on Wal nut street—Mrs. C. INGERSOLL NIGELERZ cannot refrain from interfering with the meet ings of the Democratic party. She was not present at Mr. Alderman McMiorniam's ga thering on Thursday, which was to be re gretted, but the absence cannot be over looked as a specimen of the Alderman's genius as a political atage-manager. It does not do to crows the stars upon the same stage, and the'meeting which rejoiced in a Isionmunor might well spare an IrTatansoLL.' The Alderman succeeded in keeping the old - lady off the stand; 'but' he, could not per suade her out of the idea of writing a letter. It was too bad that she could not be permitted to speak, and there is no knowing what the world is coming to if such carryings-on are to be' permitted. The Alderman, however, is a practical man, and was not to be disturbed, and so he arranged his meeting in bu_siness style. The feature at all entertainments is novelty. Our thea trical friends understand this to perfection, and prefer= the ghost of Professor PEPPER to that of SHAXSPEARE. Old faces tire, old friendships dim, and veterans are good enough for the property-roam or the alms house—give the people novelty. So it was with the Aldernian. He might have had Mrs. Nrcirtminr, in any style, with a frilled cap and ruffles, or he might have had REED; with all his ancestors ; or, more precious, than all, he, might have had the bewitching VAUX. There was WHARTON, too, and CASSIDY, and PALETHORP, and GLOSSBREN rant, and WELK', and many others as emi nent, but these, unfortunatery, are familiar faces, and the Democracy: have;tired of them. Accordingly, several young gentle men were brought out to teach the Demo cracy—lawyers and lawyers' clerks—fresh fibril their algebra and rlietoric. They served their purpose. Instead of Mrs. NICELEI3Y We had BIIOkwALTER. VAux was supplant ed by Coo - k—J. Jit'll4oP--PALETHORP was superseded by Sliowriss, and CAssmy by O'BrnigE. ffoßuntor was the star. He is now, repenting his Dowslasism so n pidly that, in a little while, he will be as deep-dyed in disloyalty as JEFFERSON DAVIS himself. As we have said, Mrs. NICRLEBT wrote a letter. That at least was some consolation, for if the Alderman did not permit her to show her F curls and ruffles, he could not object to her, penmanship. "I regret that an engagement with which I cannot dis pense,7 etc. This keeps her away. She has been in Columbia an&Luzerne, and "if our friends in Philadelphia have_about them half the spirit " great results will ensue. She dreads violence, however. The dear old lady is apprehensive. Somebody has been telling her strange stories about Wilmington. " What happened ?" she asks. " The pave ment of the polling place, which was the Town Hall," so it was, 'I was occupied before the polls could be opened by. United States soldiers," so they did. " Ball cart ridges," actually ball cartridges, "were dis tributed to them as they stood there under time eyes "of the citizens," so they were. "They loaded their muskets, fixed their bayonets, and then kept, during the whole day, in their own way, the police of the election ground," and "towards evening cleared the grownd -with a charge of bayo nets." Some malicious wag told this story to the old lady, and she evidently believed it. After this she talks, about States rights. Altogether, we; see in this letter much cause for congratulation. How ever the war may have affected other people, Mrs. 1 ICRLEI3I still retains her remarkable equanimity of temper, and is superior to the temptations of any Abolition "gentleman in Small clothes." Her style is as pure and unique as ever, and, indeed, the only eff%rt we have yet seen that equals this letter is her story about the French shoemaker. It is almost as wonderful as that of the soldiers in Delaware, and is quite as reliable. " upon my word, my dear," said Mrs. NICKLEBY, •'really I don't kno*. lam sure there was a case in the day before yesterday's paper, extracted from one of the French newspa pers, about a journeyman shoemaker who was jealous of a young girl in an adjoining village because she wouldn't shut herself up in an air-tight three-pair-of-stairs and char coal herself to death with him, and who went and hid himself in a wood witt a sharp-pointed knife, and rushed out as she was -:%-pstssing by with a few friends, and killed himself first, and then all the friends, and then her ; no, killed all the friends first, and then herself, and then himself, which is qiiiie'frightful to think of.

A New CalifornslaThetill Region of Penn [From the Washington Chronicle.] - • ASTOR. EloueE, - New York, Sept. 17,_1863 Two weeks' absence from Washington, and nearly the same.time away from my friends "at home" in Philadelphia, have given me a compensating insight into.the politics and progress of the lake counties, otherwise Called "Northwester,4 Pennsylvania," Since the 4th, I have travelled in all over fifteen hundred miles, spoken many times in three remote; counties, and: met and interchanged 'opinions with thousands of people; My object, as youltnow, was to perform a part of my duty in the great campaign now going on in that State ; and I was not sorry to be assigned a post in the oupe of. Governor Curtin, wholad , a mumber of engagements to fill in the lake country. We hid a most agreeable journey. In the generation which closed <in 1840, the dis tance we travelled would have consumed weeks. Now our best rest was in travel, and the only hard work in tweaking and canvassing. Gov. Curtin is an admirable campaigner, and all his addresses dis closed tact, eloquence, and thorough orthodon. He was everywhere warmly welcomed, and, in all he said, nothing was better received than his manly and forcible vindication of Mr. Lincoln's Adminis tration. Knowing right well that the President earnestly desired Governor Curtin's reelection, it was heart-cheering to see, and to hear his en.' thimiasm in favor of the whale policy of the • Prost dent. 'Wherever we spoke' the discharged or fur loughed soldiers appeared in great number, and many suggestive scenes took place. Without single:exception that I met, all were for Chirtin, and many who had been "Democrats" came forward to discard their allegiance to that party. The meetings were tremendous gatherings. , That at Erie, on the' anniversary' of Perry's victory, the inth, ; that at Mereerville on the 12th, and that at in.the midst of the new California, ('! the Oil Region,> l ) and others, were pervaded by a' eep religithis :patriotic spirit. Thousands flocked from. all quarters to participate. These gatherings re-' called the monster meetings of ,i840,'44,'48, ,152, 7 56, and '6O; but there was no, party feelinE in, tharn. Here was the. exception. They were rather like vast camp meetings. Uwe do not win in this oan-, vase; it will not be because our cause is ,not the hest, and our energies vigorously and ,constantly put forth. The canvass hai already become so un doubted that no friend of the good cause can hold back and hope .to be remembered honorably. You will see that I have dated this litter at the Astor House, New York, where, after a continuous ride of.tive hundred miles from a new and unique little town, called Corry in Erie county, . .

All that I saw reminded me of what I had heard of California. The value of the oil transported from this point alone is estimated at sixty thousand dollars a day I Men who, one year ago, were bankrupt., and some of them almost beggars, are now realizing= from one to three thousand dollareper diem—and these are net" profit.. The process of extracting Wei" iaw mate-. rial, once you get a good well, is cheap and simple, end the supply seems to.be inexhaustible. < A great change has naturally come • over the Whole of this border. Everybody goes into the oil trade. The New Bedford whalers have given up their hazardous tolls on the treacherous sea, and \ are getting good wages, or making large fortueek here. Four. thousand 'wagons are daily engaged in the transportation of the precious liquid to the different points of depart ure. The barrel trade is alone a source of enor moue profit. The population of Titusville, Craw- . ford county, has increased in one year from four hundred to tour thousand, and Oil City, the great • centre of the "flowing wells," is-already a rough and vigorous borough, never before known on the maps. It is most difficult to obtain laborers, for where wealth is so easy to obtain, every man ex pects to be a millionaire. And yet, strange 'to say, the pioneer of this wonderful development, the man who first bore 1 deep enough- into the bowels of the earth to cause the oil to burnt forth _ . in „countless gallons, Mr. Drake, of Connecticut, is now 'ti.poor man at Titusville, living upon the premeds' of the office of Justice of the Peace, while those who same after hirn are making incredible fortunes, Mr. Downer's great works, marvels of Yankee daring and skill, marvels of science and trophies of his suc cessful investigations, are most extensive and per feet; and I was not surprised to see that, whilereap• ing a fair reward for his own great aaorifleet and ernigi, * re aid not forget Drake.

A letter from Darnestown, Maryland, upper Po tomac, dated to-day, says that early yesterday morn ing, froM 200 to 400 rebel cavalry, said to be a por tion of White's command, crossed the Potomac, between Watts' Branch arid Muddy Creek, and started toWards the cross-roads, two miles from the river, where there had been a rendezvous of the Scott's Nine Hundred. General FIEINTZELEIAN, who had arrived thither on a tour of inspection, pursued them up the tow path of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, pushing them so hard that'they were compelled to reason; the riverbelow Edwards' Ferry. It is certain the rebels committed no depredations on the Maryland side, either for want of time, or unless their object was to seize a few horses which they discovered on the line of the canal. The probability,is they con centrated at,and started irona,the vieinity of Drones vine before making their excursion to this aide. Some of the paymasters have already started to the Al my of the 'Potomac to pay off' the troops for two months, now due. The law allows forty-two dollars a year for clothing, which, ordinarily, is a sum sufficient for it ; but as in the recent battles the soldiers, by order of their officers, threw away some of their equipments, etc., in order the better to pre pare them for the conflict, they have been obliged to thaw for, additional' supplies; thus exceeding the legally stipulated amount of money.

Yes . terday, a large number of -prominent citizens pa„id their respects to the General. Last evening he was tendered the compliment of a serenade. The fine music of the band speedily attracted a large crowd of pereons. The national airs were performed; .by which time the assemblage ascertained what the demonstration was intended for. The music having ceased, loud cries Were made for Butler—Butler— . Butler. Presently, in company with Wayne Mc- .

I accept it not for myself, but as a,token of your devotion to the cause in which I have been engaged, and an earnest- of your love for the Union and the country. [Applause.] For more than two years we have been engaged in a struggle for the life of - that country. , In that emir teetTenneYlvanth has` freely poured out her blood and sent into it her beat sons as a pure and 4-erne-rt. - sacrifice .uponnthe altar of patriotism.: By their, successes in the field, at last the traitorous hosts_of the rebels were even concen trated upon the posiersion of Pennsylvania herself. The rich goods of your marts formed a tempting prize for the rebellious hordes, and the traitor hosts dated put their feet on Pennsylvania eoil, but from that - Dour they have been withered-in the field as if touched by the hand of God.

[Cheers.] For there can be iiirdonbt . that 'on *the part of the rebel cause quite reii reuch%bope' is _now centred in the longed-for and coveted ; divisions of. the men of the North as is grounded' upon their trust in their arms. And what is to be Mello/ewer of:Peensylva , Dia to those hopes t What are. you. to say, men of Pennsylvania, to thenreiserdies` of 'your country who hope forosuCcinutirom "Ydur.".divisions in the cause of , your countryl What answer has come hack to you' from fro the far off f-t ,shores ohe .Paolito iThat has - come " tip .

ARTIBTEO2IO.—Last eve ning,'a large number of the loyal Citizens of Phila. deiphia assembled at the ball of the Tenth-ward Union League, northeast corner of Broad and Rape streets, where a very enthuaiastie and patriotic meeting was held, in which all preient united with great zeal. A band Was in atteedanoe, which die couriea excellent music of a patriotic character pie vious to the opening of the meeting. About eight o'clock the assemblage was called to order by the president. Mr.. Henry C. Howell, who said that the present one was the second Of a series of meetings to be held in tho ward every:Friday evening during the coming electiOn campaign. He then announced to'the audience that he had the 'pleasure of intro ducing to them the ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Wm. H. Armstrong, of Lycorning county,.who made an eloquent _and ap propriate address, of which' the following is the substance: We are engaged at this time in-a very extraordi nary struggle. It is extraordinary that there ahould be traitorous persons in the country, ,so baseeand wicbed as to - attempt to destroy the perpetuity of the Union. It is also extraordinary in its political aspect. The line between patriotism and treason should be drawn in such a way as to distinguish one from the other, the same as that which divides the friends and enemies of this Government. [Great applause.] There can only be, as the late S. A. Douglas said, two parties in the country—the pa triots and traitors. We stand divided only upon the question—Are we for the Government or against it 7 [Renewed cheers.] He did not believe that the masses of,the Democratic party intended to be dis loyal, but he did believe that they were led astray by the leaders of Democracy, -[applause.] The De mocratic party, as such, is unmistakably arrayed against the Government, and its whole designs are to embarrass the Administration and suppress all the measures taken to exterminate the rebellion. [Great cheers.] The Democrats would have you be lieve that the Government has no rights but those which are written in the Constitution; but the saute Constitution does not limit the exercise of rights to the Goverment in war powers. Look attire habeas corpus act I What is this exercise? When the Go vetnment of the United States is engaged in war it cannot wait for the suspension of this sot until Congress assembles; and besides, it is strictly and closely within an established precedent. The speaker. then , referred to the exercise of power which General Jackson took upon him self at the time of the battle of New Orleans. He sent a squad of „men to arrest a certain individual for publishing a treasonable article in a Nese Orleans paper, and while they were on their way back a lawyer stopped them, and after making himself ac quainted with the nature of his arrest, immediately wentto Judge Hall and bad a writ of habeas corpus issued for the body of-the said publisher, but General .Jackson not only refused to-givehim up, but. also arrested Smite Ball and sent him beyond the lines. [Cries of "Good, good!" and • appleree, le After peace was declared Hall sued General Jackson for contempt of court, and fined him one thousand dollars, which he paid, and a number of years after Congress passed a bill refunding him the money and tw" thou sand seven hundred dollars interest, which bill Chase T. Ingersoll, of this city, and Swphen A. Douglas voted for. [ Thunders of applause.] the speaker then 'made reference to the President's proclamation, in which be said that he held it as well settled law and within the limits of -international - law.. The rebels have no right to bold slaves under the &Institution, when they themselves repudiate its laws. [Cries of "That's so."] The slaves are free without any Proclamation, according to the rules of international law: During the Revolutionary War, Lord Dunmore, Lord Cornwallis. and Sir Henry Clinton emancipated slaves, believing it justice to do so in time of war, and Washington and Setter sonein commenting upon these acts, made no com plaint whatever." -- Admiral Cochrane, during the same war, issued his proclamation declaring that all slaves should be 'free, and England afterwards re fused to give up those she.had, when the matter was referred to Russia, which Powersiaid that England should pay the amount of money that these sieves were worth ; but she would not do it because they were seized during the war under a proclamation that had been issued to that effect. The spanker then s spoke at lengtheupon the insurrection of 'the alavel, on the Island of St. Domingo,' and how they came to be liberated and made free. The time_ has. gone by. when we, must stop for these min in rebellion ; they stand as' traitors, and it rests with the patriots of the. North whether they shall be put down. [Tremendous applause ] In re gard to negro soldiers, he said,:that the Democratic party-leaders had always oonosed the measures for the raising of such 'men, but he believed that every black man that goes into the army- takes the place of s. white man; and, while the Democrats I were fighting against the .enlisting of them, Massa chusetts tookerom Pennsylvania esoo blank men to fill up the regiments that she was forming, and so Penneylvania had to send 1,300 white soldiers` into the field to supply the deficiency - of those taken away. There is no kind teesoldier, neither black, white, nor red,that will men them to upeold our 'arms 'in the suppression of sewicked and foul re hellion. [Cries of " That's so." " Give it to them again."] The teachings of the Democratic party at this time are disloyal. [Cheers.] And it is our duty to use all , means to defend the li berties- of the country we love against their false teachings, and one way to accomplish our un dertekleg is at the ballot-box in the coming election. [Applause ] He said we are responsible to God and our country for the exercise of the elective franchise, and -we should allow no signs of doubt to be made in regard to our loyalty. In speaking of the candi dates for the Gubernatorial chair, he said, it is your duty to vote for Andrew G. Curtin [cheers], and 'to influence your friends to do likewise. You must be up as leading mere in this important crisis. [Re newed cheers.] . Re remarked that Judge Wood weld was a respectable, intelligent, and no doubt honest man; but in'all these respects Gov. Curtin is at least his equal. [Applause.]; The powers of mind and intellect 'which Judge Woodward pos sesses, if he is disloyal, are no reasons why he should be elected -Governor of this State. The orator then read an extract from the speech delivered by the Judge in reference to the ag gressions of the North against the slavery clues. Lion ; also an extract from the speech of Mr- Stephens, of Georgia, which completely overthrows the opinion of Judge Woodward, in regard to the same aggressions. Judge Woodward, in his speech, says that he would alter the Constitution to restrain. the madness of the people. The'speaker desired to know hose be could restrain- their madness except by an alteration in thelleonstitution which would prevent the freedom of speech and of the press. He also read an extract from the Judge's speech, which says that slavery is an incalculable blessing to the country; and the speaker said, is it possible that any person living in this nineteenth century would • up bold the institution of slavery? . and yet Judge Wood ward stands up before a Christian and enlightened people, to inform them that steams is no sin. The Constitution as it is, is the cry of. the Democracy, and yet he would alter it m reference to shivery. -Whit ,ia the :record of Andrew G. Curtin? We need not refer to him. What is all this talk' about shoddy contracts? The speaker was a member of the Legislature at the time, and therefore able to tell all about it. At the beginning of the rebellion, when the soldiers were arriving fast at. Harrisburg, and without proper clothing, the Governor hnme ejeeely pe e s-zed comforteble quarters, and then sent to - Philadelpliia for blinkets rnd clothing. to protect them from - the inclemency of the weather, an d.when the Betides arrived, which were forwarded 'as fast as possible, some of them were not in as good _order as might be expected, L and yet these Demo crats: now cry against this act of the Governor's. He has been the Bern friend of the soldier from the beginning of the war up to the present time, and every soldier., in the army holds him dear to his heart, because he' knows that "he is his friend: There is nothing that the. Democratslear more than that the soldiers might be given the chance of voting in the en ming election; The speaker then referred to -the - many letters received, berelrom the officers and privates in the army,-in ducing their friends- to vote for Curtin. He has wisely administered the financial affairs, having already paid $1,200,000 of the State debt. Letters from all parts of the country are being received, saying that he is rising in: favor more and more every day, and there is no doubt but that he will be elected -by a most triumphant majority. Let every man be up and -doing. There is but a short time intervening, and it Would be better to lose a battle on the field than the election in Pennsylvania. ' The speaker exhorted for some time the importance of the patriot's duty, and finally retired amid much applause. Speeches were also delivered by . ex-Governor Pollock an others, which were received with. un bounded admiration. , L. A CarptzE.—A pretty large skiff, con taining three men, named Berriman, Grigg, and Smith, was capsized on the Delaware, below Bil lingsport, on Thursday afternoon. The party WAS rescued by the yacht Delany going to their assist ance.. One of the, men was nearly drowned.

LouiSTILLE, Ky., Sept. 18.—The pummel preva lent here for the past three days of disasters to Gen. Rosecrana , army are discredited by military autho rities. They probably arose from the fact that on Sunday last a rebel force 16,000 strong attacked Gen. Negley's brigade, 6,300 strong, at Blid's Gap, and drove them back for three and a half miles. Gen. Negley recovered hie ground on the next morning, with a lose of 35 killed, wounded, and Our forces burled 36 rebels who - were found on the ground, on Monday morning.

Among; the divisions are Cheatham's, Deyes, Clairborn's, and Stewart's, Buckner's, Clayborne's, Hindman's, and Slaughter's; and the detached bri gadca of Jackson and Anderson—in all 36 brigades of infantry;and not less than 85,000 men Thus encountered by an enemy so formidable in numbers and position, General Rosecrans hest been compelled to concentrate his forces, which were ne cessarily much scattered in crossing the Lookout Mountains. The lines of the opposing armies may now be re presented as crescent-shaped by the Pigeon moun tains, which extend like the arc of a circle around Lafayette. The rebels hold the interior and we the exterior lines. The two forces are within a few miles of each other, but effectually Separated by a range of mountains. The rebel position can only be approached by Cattler's Wing and Blue Bird Gaps, which are well guarded:. This position of the rebels covers excel lent lines of retreat on Rome and Calhoun, where they will probably make a new line should they be defeated here. There are rumors that they have been retiring for a day or two, brit these are consi dered unreliable. • General Roseerans left Chattanooga on Sunday, and is now engaged in making dispositions for a new situation. He has been ill, but is in fine In the 'fight with Negley the rebels lose over 30 killed. Our loss was 7 killed, and 35 wounded. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OP THE CUMBERLAND, IN THE FIELD, SepteMberlß. - All is quiet, though there is constant skirmishing along the, line, and' frequent dashes of cavalry-be tween both armies. The enemy does not' appear anxious to attack, though he apparently intends to dispute our further advanc'e. He remains in con• stantly increasing force directly in front; slew miles distant, receiving heavy reinforcements of old troops from Lee's army. Longstreet parsed through Augusta on the 10th instant by rail to Roxa, and hit advance has reached Lafayette. • EThe rebels have been moving through a gap of the Figeon Mountain, and forming in line on this aide FM if to attack. General Rosecrans has assumed a strong defensive position on Clheckamanga Creek, covering Chattanooga, He evinces no disposition to attack at present ills preparations to do so can not be completed for a few days, wLen a battle must Gen. Stanley, of the cavalit, Is very ill, and tuts gone to the rear. Gen. R. P. Mitchell Succeeds him in command. All reports of an engagement here are false. The enemy have been very busy to -day feeling our lines, and artillery duels have been brisk, with few casual ties. The rebels may be busy getting into position for attack to-morrow. Little doubt remains that, either Longstreet's or Ewell's corps are here. Any day may bring on an engagement The public will be informed at an early moment of the beginning and progress ' of the battle, if any occurs. NEW ORLEANS. General Grant Returning to Vicksburg.
