To Me Editor of The Press: Sin: I have no opinion to express in regard to the propriety of high official ffuictionaries writing let; tern to either political friends or adversaries in ex planation, or in support of the policy or measures which they may have deemed it expedient to adopt. This must be more or less 'dependent upon the exi gency of the occasion, 86 appealing to the judgment of the writers. One thing, however, is certain, that with rare exceptions, communications of the charac ter referred to are attended with but little public benefit. They are read by every partisan andipoliti. clan through his own spectacles ; in other words, through the influence of his own preconceived no• tions or prejudices, and perverted or applied to their support. The better mode, perhaps, would be to al. low great public measures to speak for themselves, inasmuch as the measures adopted, though unex ceptional in themselves, may sometimes be attempt ed to be sustained, by insufficient or doubtful rea ions, thus leaving room for the captious criticism of party spirit, through assaults upon the language or dress of the argument, to impair its body or sub stance. In other words, while the action or decision may be perfectly right, the reasoning may be wrong. These general remarks are not intended to be_ specially applied to the letter under consideration, but to the subject of letter-writing upon great na tional - questions by Presidents' or members - of their cabinets. Certainly it is not required, even in our Republic, where every man considers himself a " chartered monarch," that the heads of the Govern.' ment should be held liable, without any regard to expediency, to justify themselves or their policy to every refractory subordinate that may presume to impeach or to arraign their motives, the best test of which-time and history will supply. Every man has his own style, more or less classi cal, according to his genius, his education, or his op portunities ; but this may at least be said, that still "the man's the man, for all that." Cimisics and politics are not synonymous terms. The best writers have not been the best Presidents, nor is it entirely consistent with the doctrine of democracy, that the learned and literary and scientific alone should'-ex elusively fill the high executive posts of the nation. - What the country requires is an intelligent, patrio tic, and honest and firm man ; and such a man is Abraham Lincoln. The letter referred to is an answer to as invitation to a meeting at Springfield of "unconditional Union men," and commences by tendering the President's gratitude, on behalf of the nation, "to those men ,whom no partisan malice nor partisan hope can make false to the _country." lie then proceeds to consider the objections of those who are dissatisfied -with his administration, and who ikesire peace, and boldly meets their objection by the inquiry r'" How is peace to be obtained'?" He truly suggests that there are but three conceivable ways : First. To suppress rebellion by force of arms. Second. To give up the Union. Third. Some imaginary and indefinite compromise between the belligerents. Now, allow us honestly to ask, Is there any other other mode of encountering the present lamentable difflculty3 Assuredly there is NON.% The suppression of the rebellion by force of arms is wisely deemed the most available, the most secure, and the most permanent, and it is therefore adopted by the Executive. Indeed, it is not only the most available, but .it may be said to be the may -mode consistent with the integrity, safety, and glory of the Republic. To give up the Udion is to destroy the country, and to convert thirty. five States, now reciprocally imparting power and reflecting light, into Romany petty, separate Germanic principalities, preying upon each other, and without any tie - or principle to bind them together. The suggestion would be ae absurd as it is treaionable. If, ass - the President observes,!the political empirics are opposed to force, and also to dissolution, where does] their doctrine land us?'UpOn compromise— .aud only compromise. Well, what means, do they propose to accomplish . their object There is the rub—there the touchstone that tries whether they are current coin or not. With whom are we to ne gotiate? Are we to seek terms with traitors, with their daggers at our throats? Are we to appeal to a self•oonstituted autocracy, engaged in open rebel lion, with-Jeff Davie at its head! Are we to ground our SIMS before General Lee, and ingloriously sue for peace 7 Or, will they say we should appeal to the people? What people? To those unhappy and deluded men, who have been seduced or driven from their' alle giance by bold, heartless, and designing individuals, crafty and ambitious views flow absurd-and mon strous the proposal No such effarrat Coteprd miss, embracing. the maintenance of the. Union, is possible ;" and every reasonable man - will agree fully with theeentiments of the President: a That the strength of the rebellion is its army ;'that army dominates all the country and all the people within._ its range ; any offer of terms made - by - iny matt or men within its range, in opposition to that army, is simply nothing for the present, because such man or men•have no power whatever to enforce the compro mise, on their side,,if one were made with them. * *. In an attempt at such a compromise we would tease time,'whiah, the enemy would improve to our disadvantage." And we must further agree in the doctrine, that a compromise, in order to be effective, must be - made eitner with those who control the army, or with the people, first liberated from the dominion of that army. The views expressed by the President in relation to the negro question are not less correct and can did. While he frankly says that he is in favor of universal Freedom,. he denies, and truly denies,-hav ing proposed or adopted any measure on that sub ject, not consistent with the views of any man who is loyal to the Union—the proposed compensated organ. cipation. In answer to this, these Copperheads ob ject to the taxation incident to such a scheme, •to which the President justly replies, "You are not required tp be taxed except in such a way as to pro tect you from grecrisr taxation, in order to save the Union by other means. ,, - Now, I appeal to any patriotic and intelligent man to say•whethqr this is not a plain and manly exposition of. the true policy of the Government; and whetherthere Is any other plan that could be suggested, tending more directly and effectually, o the termination of this fratricidal war, and the per manency of the Union. I admit that the language in which these sentiments are conveyed might have been more conventional, and, if you' choose, more highly polished; but let it be remembered that the polish of a diamond, while it adds to its brilliancy, at the same time diminishes its weight. D. P. B. .T.un TnroXPEE.—This is the title of an allegori cal composition, lithographed in tints and colors, published by M. H. Traubel, in this city, and on sale at Kromer's, 403 Chestnut street. It shows the downfall of. King Cotton and Slavery, with. their Vile myrmidons, and the triumph of Liberty and. Patriotism, America, wearing the cap, of Liberty, and Waving the immortal " Stars and Stripes," is. surrounded by Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, and other worthies of the land's early times, and supported by Justice, Humanity, Christian faith, a, heavenly choir, directing the eagle, who with the power of lightning enflames the usurped throne to , consume crown'and ermine. Terrified, the faction of Moloch disperses, who alone and despairing tries. yet to defend his life with paralyzed arms, retain,. _fug the fettered slave with a spasmodic grasp. This, is a bold allegory, well designed, for it .tells its.own, story. Tn FINANCES.—Tbe condition of the. national finances wars never better since the war began, than at the present moment. Mr. Chase does not allow himself much margin in the way of surplus money, but under his system he needs but little, If at the end of any week he discovers that his income is little short he has the remedy at hand. The issue of half a million of debt certificates per day will make up the deficiency, and these certificates are easily, absorbed at the money centres. .11Ir. Chase could resume specie paymentato.mor row, if he desired. Ilia gold income from. duties is now not much leas than one hundred millions of dol lars per annum. It takes but tpirty.•five millions of this to pay the interest otthe public debt, leaving over sixty millions of dollars• in the Secretary's hands. This would be sufficient to justify a resump tion of specie payments. It is not expected, how ever, that anything of the kind will occur, for va rious and obvious reasons. - . Under the act of the late Congress, Pdr. Obese has power to issue live hundred millions of live-twenty bonds. More than two,hundred and fifty millions have been taken by the public, and it is believed by those who have the matter in charge that the de mand from the public will certainly exhaust the en tire amount of bonds which the Secretary is autho rized to issue,—Cor. Bost. - - PARDOICED.--Capt.Bernard J. McMahon, 71st Pennsylvania Volunteers, tried by court-martial - for shooting Capt. Andrew. McManus, gist Pennsylva nia Volunteers, and found guilty of murder,-was sentenced to be shot. Forwarded to the President for Ms action, the case is thue diaposed of in General Order No. sii In consideration of all the circumstances of the case, the gallant conduct of the accused, while a pri soner, in the recent battles at Gettysburg, and upon the recommendation to Executive clemency by-the- Major General commanding the Army of the Poto mac, the President is pleased to pardon Capt. Mc- Mahon of the punishment and sentence awarded him by the court. Capt. McMahon will be released from arrest and returned to duty.

The number of victims would have been more considerable if the lion had not perceived a butehees shop into which he sprung, enticed by the meat, displayed at the' door.

REWARD (From the Liverpool Daily Post.) The London Times of. September 10 bass a long let ter, signed "A Confederate," in reply to. Mr. Sew. ard's statement with reference to the progress of the Federal cause. It is unnecessary .to say that the Times has every desire to do fall justice to whatever may be said on the Confederate side, but at length it perceives that it is useless to deny the progress which the Northerners have made. In commenting, on the letter the Times says: • "It will be hard to persuade an indifferent meets - tor that the North have not a firmer hold of Sicuth ern territory than they have ever had before. The effectiveness of an occupation is ta'be measured , quite as much by its position as its extent. The peep session of places like Vicksburg and Port. Hudson, and, of such, a river, as the. Mississippi, gives the North a firmer foothold in Oonfederatesterritory than the nominal occupation of thoueanda- of scree in Arkansas, or of all the prairies of Texas. " After all that can be said, we fear it cannot be denied that the North have gained unguestionable and serious advantages, and that the South, con sidered at least as a belligerent Power, is in a criti cal, dangerous condition. Its seaports are being taken,' its armies are being' driven back; and its means of communication with abroad more' and more curtailed. However it may be accounted for, the fact of gold being at 220 must mean ruinously high prices, and ruinously-high prices must mean more or less exhaustion. The consumption of men may be nearly equal on both sides, but it must be vastly greater in proportion in a population of 10,000,000 than in one of 20,000,000. Aber all, the question is not who fights best, but who can fight the longestatid the strongest." Of course, in general terms, the Times still ex presses the belief that the ultimate subjugation of the South will not be, possible; but those re gard facts dispassionately will consider that, apart from the contingency of foreign interference, those which the Times has admitted leave the Oordede rates very scanty hopes. [From the Phare de la Loire, Sept 8 ] Nantes has, its maritime mysteries. There are now building in our yards two steamers, the appear ance of which excites the more curiosity as their owners and future distination are completely un known. The smallest gist cannot be built in secret for regattas in yards which are accessible to every eye, and a fortiori vessels of a large dimension can not escape notice. The practised eye of our nauti cal men readily perceives- that those of which we speak are not intended for ordinary navigation. Every one asks for what they ate intended, and as no one can answer the question positively, the field remains open to conjecture. The fineness of their lines is extreme;.they are almost flat, narrow, and with bows as sharp as the blade of a razor. Their length ie 260 feet ;.they will each have engines of 400 horse power, and are pierced for 221uns. Their guarantied speed will notbe lestrthan 14. knots an hour. The plan was furnished - to the builder who bad only to follow it The hull is in wood, buethere is a quantity of iron used which will give them great strength. What excites considerable curiosity ietbe fad that they are to be'delivered to their owners at sea, twenty leagues off'Belle Isle. There-are two similar Vessels building in the yard of ill. Armen, at Bor deaux. The order was given by st, house, in this place for one abroad, but no one knows for whom, and the builders'are no wiser. - These vessels cannot be intended for carrying freight, as the fineness of the build makes- them lose -onathird of their ton nage. According to some persons, they belong to a company which intend them for the. China packet service ; while others think that the preparation for armament is not consistent even with the con veyance of, despatches, and therefore consider them built for war purposes. Themost generally, credited version is that they may, when afloat, take their place among the :Confederate , fleet, of which the Sumpter was theytioneer. For our part,.we give no opinion on the subject ; .we confine ourselves merely to reporting those of others. - ____ • -.. -, K.GANIZATIONi - ST.RitNaTH, AND PLACES OP SICHVIO,D.

Slowly It moved' to "God's Acre." IS was nearly two o'clock as the advance of the proeession reached the well-known home in Wob belie, in which the dead Korner was brought, and whence they carried him forth to hie poet grave. A large mourning flag drooped from one of the upper windows of this home over thestree below, under 1 which the- multitude passed reverently on to the portal of the Friedhof e which was garlanded ,with oak and Ivy, myrtle and immortelle.

It will be remembered that this devoted sister died of griefF occasioned by the loss of her brother.. Mrs. Ilernans wrote a touching- poem on the subject, which my space will not permit me to copy here. It maybe found, together with several excellent tranahltions: from Korner, in every edition of her works..

It is impossible to enumerate - ill the "'gifts of- love" that were poured in from north, and south, and eitati and west upon this memorable occasion, not only from the precincts -•of the Fatherland, but from far beyond its borders. Telegraphic greetings were sent from every quarter, Min" of the most no ticeable being that from the Baslern, in Switzerland, assembled'at the hero grave of St. Jacobs, in com memoration of the battle of Basle. - A crown of oak and laurel was sent by Fran Emilie.

The ladies of the village ran affrighted , from their dwellings intothe woods, but, upon dis covering that they were not to be butchered in cold blood, returned and entertained the Yankees. The village wee found to be deserted by nearly all its male inhabitants. But a few gray-haired old men could be found.

A SULTAN'S AMlNAT.—During the recent fire at the Old Seraglio of Constantinople, a jewel dieap. pearedtto which the Turks attach much importance. It was an amulet,lormerly the property of Ifialiinoud 11., and was supposed to contain a shred of the Prophet's garment. Abdul•Medjid had given it to one of his favorite wives shortly before his death, and the present Sultan, soon after hie bores pion, h es pion, had demanded its return, but the •lady, who constantly wore it about her person, had always found some pretext for retaining it. In the hurry and confusion attending the fire she lost the amulet, and gave notice of the fact to the police authorities. An active search was instituted, and the missing jewel was at last discovered in the possession of a hammal, or street porter, who declared that he had found it in the street, where it had probably been dropped by some person who had stolen it. The man was bastinadoed, but he persisted in ,his story, an.,as his assertions were supported by-the testimony .; several other hirmmals, he was ultimately r.et at liberty. THREE CENTS.

The efforts of the-Presi , dent and this Cabinet had been marked with. singular andstriting ability ; and: in-order to render those efforts ;more efficaeioue it was requisite that they should be re sponded . to by thin hearty and active syMpstity of the • conolusion, the speaker refbrred to the record of 'Judge Woodward, the opponent of Governor Curtin for Gubernatorial honors. That gentleman-was posseesed.

From-the first it was so. and so it will coatinneto be - unless-you decide to do your duty at the coming election. I remember a workingman—a man who , was the type of the pie-- veers in this region—one of -those men who,. born in the Democratic party, inheriting all its prejudices and elected to a high position- in Congress: went tie Wash ington, and, like myself- was converted bythe maniacs- - tations -of hostility - to Northern sentiment.
