( Vritss TELURSIJAk, SEPTEMBER 15, 1.864; TO THE FRIENDS OF THE SOLDIER IN .EVERY COUNTY. trii"roll ESATS CENTRAL 170311UTTEE TWOMSi No. 1105 Chestnut Street.—Our Mends in every county and-dis trict in PennsylVania should immediately, without one clay's delay, seed to the State Committee a correct copy of their whole ticket, glving am name of each can did a t e f o r crow office. All this ]catist be donesto ena ble the tiokets to be preliared to Bend to the several regi ments of the State.

While the leaders of the Vallandigham Democracy' are laboring* to deceive 'the: honest masses of the old Democratic party it is gratifying to note the great num bers of independent Democrats, especially thdse who sustained DOUGLAS in 1860, en rolling themselves under the flag of AURA 'HAM LiNcorai and ANDREW Jonnson. The speech of Hon; ;JOHNCESSNA, at the mon ster meeting in IndePendence Square, on Saturday e,vening, was a demonstration of more significance ;than those who do not know Mr. CESSNA might attach to it. He is a type of a class of men who have ad hered to the Democratic party (and many still adhere to it) in the hope that while the leaders of that party were rapidly car rying it into the abyss of ruin, a time would .come when such a reaction would take place as would make it worthy of its heroic traditions and its ancient apostles. ThoSe who read_ Mr. OESSNA's speech, i n THE PRESS of Monday will not have failed, to discover that he has taken issue with his old party with extreme reluctance. :R was only when he found that the, pre sent masters of that once honored organi zation had resolved to commit it to sym pathy With treason, and hence to treason itself, that he broke loose from 'these poisonous associations' and spoke, out for his country. The case of BENJAMIN . H. BREWSTER is; if possible, a still more striking instance. If any man in Phila delphia, by-association and by professional dependence, might have been classed with those naturally, in favor of the re bellion, it was 13nEwsrrEn. He had been the attorney of the slave-hunters who came here to have their chattels returned to serfdom ; and yet when these' slave-•hunters revolted' against - the Republic, and made . themselves the synonyms of ingratitude and perjury, and sought to cover their crimes with aperior gentility, he ' tore himself away from , them, and became a champion of a party he had here tofore steadily opposed. We mention these two gentlemen because they have not been classed with the Democrats who opposed Mr. representatives Kansas policy. They are the representatives of the Demo crats who have sustained the GoVernment since the attack upon Sumpter. Now, let us look at another class of Democrats, the men who, from 1857, in the face, of all the ty ranny of JAMES BuCHANAN'S AdMilliStra tioll, and in defiance of all the slave holders' threats, have, like heroes, main tained their independent attitude. In Lan caster county we have the Hon. BENJAMIN CRAMPREvs, the able Senator from that district, for more than thirty years Mr. BUCHANAN'S intimate friend, the type of chivalry, and of integrity, and of patriot ism, co-operating with the noblest Roman of all the Republicans, THADDEUS STE VENS, in sustaining the Administration and its entire policy. In I3erks county, Hon. Wm. M. HEISTER, the Secretary of the Commonwealth under Hon. WM. F. PACK ER, elected Governor in 1857, against DAVID WILMOT, the nominee of the Republican party, is the candidate of the Union party. This recalls to us the triumph of Governcir. .PACKER, in 1857. He made an immortal record, after his election, by fighting against norEs Bu ortANAN's infamous Kansas policy, and he continued this fight to the close of his ad ministration. :Whether he can submit to the enormous insult put upon himself and others by the Chicago Convention re mains to be seen. But, anyhow, WM. M. HRISTER, his Secretary of the Common wealth, and Hon. JOHN C. Knox, his At torney. General, are now not only against the Vallandigham Democracy, but ear nestly and eagerly in favor of LINCOLN and JOHNSON. Mr. KNOX has made his mark all through the war. His speeches have been emphatic, fearless, and effec tive. Of Mr. HEISTER we need scarcely to speak. He comes of the old blnod and breeding of the great Pennsylvania men of the past. He could no more tolerate treason in politics than he : could confess himself a perso nal ingrate. If he had been the slave of party he could have commanded Berks county, but he was filled with the COltSei- entious belief that this war, begun by trea eon, must be ftnished by Union courage. On the Union ticket in Berks county there are two onion Democrats of Mr. Et-Ers- TER'S school. It may be, alleged by our enemies that War Dernocrais are only no- Minated in districts where the Opposition has a.majority, but this is answered by the manner in which the Republicans of Ches . ter and of Lancaster counties have honored such men as Dr. WORTHINGTON and BEN, JAMIN CITAMPNEYS.. If we go to Schuyl hill, we find the gallant Colonel Timmy L CARE, a Douglas Democrat, running on the Union ticket for Senator. We have already spoken of this brave soldier. In the Union Senatorial district CIIARLiS SHRINiIi is the candidate of the friends of the Government for Senator. We might enumerate many other instances to show hOW the trnion War Democrats have stood by the Government in this terrible strug gle, tut these are sufficient. Mr. Pendleton's Record. On the first page of this paper will be found a thorough analysis of the Congres sional record of GEORGE H. PENDLETON from January, 1801, to the close of the last session. It gives his vote upon every im portant measure, and repeats, in his own language, his reiterated opinions ' , of the great questions before the country:- Mr. PENDLETON might, if he chose, sign -his own name' to this record, in_:_evidence of its IMPartiality, for it is from `first: to fast a statement of facts which may be 'verified by _reference to the official Con gressional reports from which it is con densed. If he were candid he might ac knowledge this very abstract as the true history of Ins course during the four years past, and the pledge of his future action. Indeed, if any exception might be taken to the article, it would be that it is an understatement of Mr. PENDLETON'S consistent opposition to the Government, his uninterrupted sympathy with - the South, and his alienation from every man whose heart was in the restoration, of the Union. It is a statement too cold and severe to be called a party document Mr. PENDLE TON'S friends might read it with pleasure and republish it with praise. But the very impartiality of the record makes it the more damaging to Mr. P.ENDLETOIL To speak the plain truth of such a politician is equiva lent to a torrent of denunciation ; to quote hi s own words is to - condemn him most ut terly. We do not attempt to condense a con 4ensation, but it will be `observed that as Mr. RtIsIDLETON, in Jqapnry, 1861, de-. dared secession to be an accomplished fact, coercion to be an impossibility, and the recognition of the Southern- Confede racy to be the duty of our Government, so he has since sustained this declaration by word and act. All his votes are registered ,against the measures adopted for the sup •pression of the rebellion. " Gentlemen," he said to his fellow -members of the House, 4 ' if you find conciliation impossible, if your differences are so great that you can not or will not, reconcile them, then, gentle onen, let the seceding States depart in peace let them establish thew Government and em pire, and work out" heir destiny according do the wisdom wino' h God has given them" And though Congress and the nation in dignantly spurned this cowardly adyiee, Mr. PENDLETON did his best to make his own words good. • He voted against bills to strengthen the army and to increase the revenue. - Even when a great army - was •in the field.; with. the flag of the United States waying,above it, when the treasury was supplied with money, Mr. PENDLETON voted against appropriating that money to pay that army. Resolutions were repeatedly introduced into the Rouse declaring the rebellion to be wicked, causeless, and its suppression to be a duty ; even against these Mr. PENDLE TON repeatedly voted. In fact; he missed few opportunities' of making more em phatic his unalterable hatred of the War; .and his willingness to see the Union divided rather than restored by its pro secution. When a man goes so far, he does not need to be ass:ailed. Forever to deprive him of> the . confidence of his countrymen it is necessary only to place his words . and deeds before them, and Mr. PENDLETON will yet regret that the false glory of a Presidential nomination has thrown such a flood of light on the dark. ness of his Cohgressional career. Coßviel. Page Redivivas. We must not let - an event so important as the reappearance of Col: JAMES PAGE on the political stage pass without respect fully recording it. Col. PAGE has been a public character for at least half a century, haying held more offices, alike honorable and lucrative, than any citizen within our recollection. His activity, however, in po litics has heretofore been manifested only when he was enjoying the fruits of a good office. Then he is a first-class leader of the Democracy—a fine, jovial organizer— and a considerable tyrank on a small scale when any of the faithful take it into their heads to revolt at his commandments. His long years of silence, especially since the outbreak of the rebellion, were broken on,. Tuesday evening, when he played a conspicuous part in a comedy at the Conti- rental Theatre. The piece was dedicated to what is called the McClellan Guard, "composed of soldiers who have fought under General McOnELLAw, and who de sire to enroll themselves into a campaign Club." The Colonel "addressed, them as soldiers ; he had been a - soldier himself, and knew how they loved their command er." It is. a little curious, however, that when Colonel PAGE talks to soldiers as a soldier, he should forget that he ought, in speaking to such an audience, to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We need not refute the unfounded assertion of Colonel PAGE that " General McCLELLAN was treated with the baseat ingratitude by the men at Washington, whom he had twice saved from destruc tion ;" for the world knows that if ever a military commander was treated kindly and indulgently by the heads of the Go vernment it is GEO. B. 111cOutiram. • But we submit to- Colonel PAGE that the two following. propositions are unworthy of him as a soldier, and are unsustained by the facts : " Where is the enthusiasm that led our soldiers into battle before ? It has all died out on account of thepnconstitutional acts of this Administration." Colonel PAGE was talking 'to soldiers, and in the presence, we, are told, of a large audience of citizens. Does he think it comports with a soldier's obligations to discourage the men who have fought - in the war, and to prevent .others from enlisting'? Now, if there is one thing patent and unanswerable, it is that since the fall of Atlanta and VAR r.A.atrT's victory before Mobile recruiting has never been so active in this State. 'A distinguished gentleman. from the interior informs us that it no, time, not oven after the fall of Sumpter, has there been such a free offering of men to the Government; . and yet we are told by Colonel PAGE that "the enthusiasm 'has all died out." Ills to be feared that the venerable Colonel spoke rather for himself than for others. Has he, a soldier, become insensible, with the approach of age, to the universal pub lic feeling in response to the victories just alluded to ? Can he, a' soldier, believe that the achievements of ,Giithr, 511E12 MAN, and FA RAGUT have created no enthusiasm" Is he, a soldier, blind to the daily reinforcements that rush forward, buoyant and cheering, to the different columns of the army ? Is he, a soldier, insensible before the de cline of gold and the decrease in the ex tortionate charges for all the necessaries of life, as two great results from the policy of Mr. LINCOLN'S administration and the.suc cesses of our armies ! Colonel I-- Colonel PAGE !--this is a sad way to. prove your soldierly breeding. It is a Sad way to help the Government which protects you, and under which you have grown rich. But it is the best way to prove that all men like you look to the defeat of .the American armies as the only way to elect GEORGE B. MoCLETJAN President of the United States. Who are the Seeederst The Wor/d and other Democratic jour pals of that class which have given in their adhesion to AIeCLELLAN and PENDLETON, while affecting to be grateful to heaven fol. the defection of the Wood-Vallandigham wing of the party,- yet regard the move ment as an act of secession, and it has been openly charged by some of them that the Daily News has been sold to AERARAIK LINCOLN." Can it be truly said that the Daily News i the Metropolitan -Record, the Freeman's Journal, vid the CoUrrier des Etats-Unis, have bolted the Democratic party ? We think not. The case stands just the other way. Take the Chicago . platform as an index to the attitude of the Democratic party respecting the political questions of the day. Is it not an out-and-out peace instrument ? Of the four hundred and fifty-two men in the Convention, could half -a dozen be seared up to vote against it on the question of final adoption ? Of the hundreds of mis named Democratic journals throughout the country—North. and South—was there one of sufficient integrity aud:independence to take exception to the platform ? Has any one seen or, heard of a Democratic party organ that did not felicitate its readers upon the harmony which characterized the Con vention; and the justice, humanity, etc., evinced in the passage of the armistice re solutions ? And after we have seen the Convention declare itself unqualifiedly for a cessation of, hostilities, and not 61)671, quali fiedly for any means of restoring the Union, is it unfair or illogical in us to infer that a Convention so unanimous, and whose ac tion elicited such universal evidences of Democratic approbation, represented the preponderating sentiment of the _Demo cratic party? Did not General MCCLELLA.N himself regard the Chicago platform as an unconditional pledge of peace ? Did he not tacitly admit that he so regarded it when he felt called upon to write a letter of acceptance, apologizing for its cowardly temper, supplying its deficiencies, and at tempting to cover up its vulnerable parts ' With fine phrases—so fine as to be transpa rent—about the - Union ? lf, then, the Chi cago platform, representing the unanimous Democratic sentiment of the country, is by common consent declared to be for peace, and if' that platform has neither been re voked nor amended, notwithstanding that the Convention is a permanent affair, and could have been easily reassembled, is it not clear that the real " bolters" are the friends of General McCLELLAN ? Is it not clear that the consistent Demecrats—the men who support the 'Chicago platforin, "and who recognize it as the -only autho rized exponent of Democratic principles— are BEN WOOD, VALLANDIGEAM, and, their associates-? It is likely there-will,;be two ppposition candidates in the field. If the friends of Genel'al MCCLELLAN would have him claim to be the " regular" candidate, let them reassemble the Convention, and, taking a lisson from General 11cCLEradizr, who modified his letter to suit the victory at Atlanta alter their platform to, suit McOLLAN's letter. LUDICROUS.--The idea of the Democratic party restoring- Union ' and Peace to the country, when it cannot preserve Union and Peace in, its own rgati. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL.” , WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 1804. The 'result of the Maine election is, per haps, the'lleavieet blow - ever - inflicted upon the reckless and unprincipled leaders of a misled and betrayed party. Maine has been the index State of every past Presi dential campaign, pointing the result, with almost unerring certainty, of the coming November election. I remember in Sep tember, 1844, just twenty years ago, when I accompanied Mr. Buchanan in his well known tour through the West Branch re gion and through the counties of BradfOrd and Susquehanna, at that time two of the most powerful Democratic, strongholds.. We were seated on theupper deck of Cap tain Blair's canal boat, on a' bright moon light night, discussing the probable result of the approaching Maine election.' When we returned from Towanda, where Mr. Buchanan had delivered one of the great est speeches of his life, we were hailed by a friend on a passing boat, with the intern puce. that Maine had gone by a decisive ma jority for the Democratic ticket. "hat," said Mr. Buchanan, with, great animation, "is a sure sign that James K. Polk will be elected President in November," and so he was. It must be recollected, too, that Mr. Polk had at his back the certain assurance of a majority of Southern States. In the case of General McClellan, the Maine elec tion possesses a more pregnant significance. He is running for President without the reasonable prospect of a single Southern electoral vote, and with , the' fact constantly before his eyes that the Union party are now in a majority in nearly all the Northern States, if we may judge from recent de crees at the ballot-box. The increased ma jority given for the Union ticket in Maine, following after th'etreinendOus vote of Ver mont, may be justly regarded as the defeat of that aspiring young gentleman; and this is rendered more certain when we reflect upon the thousanda of RePublicans and War Democrats sent from these States to the various columns of the army,; and to the Various squadrons of the navy. The nomi nation of General McClellan, therefore, •has had no other effect than to depress his friends and strengthen his opponents. '''With the instinctive sagacity of the American people the voters of Vermont and Maine instantly understood their duty ; they comprehended the,extraordinary position of the so-called Democratic candidate, who, professedly for a war Aq maintain the Union, has asso ciated with him-on, the Presidential and a notorious friend -- --of ~,,,Reace and - an avowed sympathizer with treason. The letter of General McClellan, acceptiiig'the.. candidacy of the Chicago_Convention, un doubtedly framed to affect the action of the people, of Maine, -was published and telegraphed on the 7th of September, be fore the Monday when the political contest between the people of Maine was to be decided at the polls. And yet this letter, craftily contrived to deceive and allure patriotic men, only intensified the Union sentiment and increased the opposition to the Vallandigham Democracy.. Never in political annals has such a rebuke been ad ministered to an ambitious and incon sistent man. We may now cast our horoscope ' with comparative ease. The three great States of Indiana; Penn- sylvania, and Ohio will vote in October. Unhappily, the brave sons of the first State nowln the army are deprived of the right of suffrage ; but, we cannot doubt, especially in view of the daily widening feud in the Opposition ranks, and the re cent terrible. exposure by Gen. Rosecrans of an armed conspiracy in the Northwest, implicating" a number of the leaders of that part3' - -we cannot doubt, I say, that Indiana will pronounce for the country with an emphasis as unequivocal as that of Maine and Vermont. As to Pennsylvania and Ohio, thanks to the efforts of the friends of the Union, and in spite of the opposition of the friends of McClellan, their brave sons are now clothed with the right of suf frage, and every day indicates that they will put under their feet witlytacinctigna tion the eandidateso?.a-party whose tri umph would fill thepel posts with joy, and would corn ' a change ei di i of policy as would car ay into our own army, and would ce fate either a reorganization of the whole military estab lishme.nt or a restoration of the calamitous military system of McClellan, Fitz John Porter, and Don Carlos Buell. And more than this : The army understand better than we safe men 'at home that there can be no peace save in the midnight of their defeat, and that Gen, Mgclellan can never be elected unless the Union armies are de strayed. Every soldier has a constituency at home s feeling as he feels, and resolved to vote as he votes. There are fresh memo ries in both of these great States connected with Gen. McClellan, and sure to operate to his fatal disadvantage. The people of Ohio, and particularly the brave men from Ohio, cannot forget that this same Gen. McClellan owed his first appoint ment in this war to Governor Den- raison; the Republican predecessor of ' David Tod and John Brough, and they are now called upon to -witness the spectacle of the man thus honored running on a ticket with the leading enemy of the war in Ohio, George H. Pendleton., and ;opposing and denouncing the candidate (Abraham Lincoln) whom they are sup porting, and to. whom General McClellan has been indebted for unnumbered kind nesses and almost parental indulgence. In Pennsylvania there is a still stronger memory. The loyal mein at home, and the brave - men in the fteld of battle, behold not only the spectacle just a referred to but recall the saddening fact that when George W. WOodward was nominated for Goyernor in 1863, by the Vallandigham Democracy, against the steady friend of the soldier, Andrew G. Curtin, George B. McClellan wrote a letter in favor of Wood ward, and when he did this he knew that Woodward was one of the earliest, the most outspoken,•and the most determined friends of the Secessionists of the South ; and, also, that he was bitterly hostile to conferring the right of suffrage upon the men who are fighting the battles of the Union. Why, then should not Pennsyl vania, Ohio, and Indiana follow the ex-. ample of Vermont and .Mine ? T con- fidently await a fayorable answer in Oc tober. next. OCCASIONAL. TREY GIVE tiP' THE CONTEST.—The New York Herald, which has been intensely Democratic for several days past, said yes terday : " The returns of the Maine elec tion show that,iS in Vermont, instead of losing ground, the Republicans have gained something •on their heavy majority of se venteen thousand of last year. If the rule of '63 is thus to be followed out in all the States yet to come; the Democracy will have nothing to swear by except New Jer sey." And the same paper, while strenu ously advocating the cause of PENDLETON, adds these significant words : " The ob noxious Copperhead affiliations of Me De mocracy since Governor SEVUOIIR'S elec tion have so seriously crippled the partY among the people that, under the most for tunate circumstances that can be looked for, it will be a difficult task for General McCuTrmAN to rebuild the Democratic ark in season for the November Rood, inasmuch as the rains of forty days and forty nights have already set in." "EVERY rebel in arms and every rebel in office—every rebel organ in. the rebel States or in foreig.n lands—every hater of demo cratic freedom and the rights of man, longs. and labors for the overthrow of the Admi nistration and the expulsion of ABRAHAM LINCOLN from the Presidential chair." This is, perhaps, the emphatic sentence of the Appeal of the National Union Committee to the people. But there is not a word in the document, which we print to-day, which is not emphatically true, and we only ask 'that the people of all parties shall ponder its argument well. ' GENERAL MOCLELLAN / 13 PLATFORM.- The absurd, anomalous, and inconsistent position occupied by General MCCLELLAN, who writes a UniOn letter in acceptance of Disunion nomination, is well hit off by a ITTE PRESS.-PRLALDELPILLV 71TURS_DAY, - SEPTEMBEIt 15, 1664: It is very obvious, from the extent of the injuries received, that these fall crops cannot' yield an average crop, no matter how favorable the growing season may continue to be. The letters ,of the cor respondents of the Department show that toe many holds were too little bencfitted to give such yield. Still the general favorable growing condition in duced by these rains will, hi all probabillii, over come a considerable portion of the injurie‘s now re ported, just as the weather in March and April overcame so much of the great injury which the wheat crop sustained from freezing, by causing more Wien nu) g hogvler grain, thus making more bushels and of much easter weight. Much will depend on, the foot of the Crops escaping a killing frost during this month. The next returns will be full and complete, and on them will be based the annual estimates by the Department of the amount of the crops in bushels. These estimates will begiven in the next hi-monthly report, which may be looked for about the last of October. Eleven million five hundred and fifty thousand dollars of the bonds on account of the recent loan of thirty-one and a half millions have been sent off by the Treastiry Department. All the certificates thus far received are satisfaotory. OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO NEW DUTIES.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 1864:- CONDITION OF THE FALL CROPS THROUGH OUT TEE COUNTRY—INTERESTING FACTS AND FIGURES. The following is from the Department of 'Agri . culture, showing the condition of the principal fall crops on the first of September The last regular bimonthly returns of thevocondi tion of the crops having been made on the first of August, when the rains had just commenced to fall, it was desirable to ascertain the extent and ef. feet on the autumn crops at the earliest moment. Hence a circular for August was sent to the corre spondents, returnable on the first day of September. These have been reee t ived. The questions asked have no reference to the amount of these crops, be cause their aTowth was not at all completed on the return day. Correspondents state that the - fall crops will not be out of danger from frost before the 20th to the 30th of September. Hence there can be no certain renort made of the amount of these crops until the returns, to be sent in on the first of October, have been received. The returns - now to lie reported refer to the condition of the fall Crops, and the injfiries„they have received up to the first of September.

Wanton, Secretary of War : We ought to have the Whole number-of men called for by the. President in the shortest possible time. Prompt action in filling our armies will have more effect upon the enemy than a victory over them. They profess to believe, and make their men believe, there is such a party North in favor of recognizing Southern independence that the draft cannot be enforced. Let them be undeceived. • De sertera come into our lines daily, who tell us that the men are nearly universally tired of the war, and that desertions would be much more freauent, but that they believe peace will be negotiated after the fall election. The enforcement of the draft and prompt filling up of our armies will save the shedding of blood to an immense degree. U. S. Gr...knT, Lieut. General. The following telegram has been received !rota Major General Sherman on the same subject : ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 13-6 30 P.• M. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War I am very glad to hear the draft will be enforced. First, we need the men ; and, secondly, thek come as privates to fill.up our old and tried reglments, with their experienced officers already on hand and, thirdly, because the enforcement of the law will manifest a power resident in our Government equal to the occasion. Our Government, though a democracy, should, in times of trouble and dang - er, be able to wield the power of a great nation. . All is well here. The draft is ordered to commence in all the States and districts where the quota is not filled by volun teers on Monday, the 19th, and will go on until com pleted. Volunteers and substitutes will be resolved and credited to as late a period as possible. Volunteering is still progressing with vigor in most of the States.

Sherman, and our. navy under Admiral Far ragut Just before the time appointed for religious services throughout the army, a violent squall came upon us, during which it lightened, thundered, and bailed, sweeping everything before it that was not firmly situated. The shades In eamp, consisting of boughs and branches laid across some beams sup ported by posts in the ground, were, in many in stances, completely demolished. The threatening state of the weather, coupled with a severe chill which. late in the day attacked the chaplain, com bined to deprive' us 'of wliat would h4Ve been in teresting religions exercises.' During yesterday no firing Was heard along the line, which' shows our increasing respect f‘r the Sabbath. This morning everything was quiet, but later in the day we may expect to hear the reports of artillery from Petersburg. DESERTERS STILL 60.11/NO. • We are daily receiving small squads of deserters from the enemy. Yesterday six came In to avail themselves of Gen, Grant's Order No. 82, which in vites them Into our lines ; assures them labor and compensation, If they wish to work ; a free passage North, if they desire, and under no circumstances aro they to be forced Into ow army. They report - - 1 the usual istOria! of destitution, and in ifitidlituou to that they all say that the only hope of the South Is In the defeat of Dlr. Lincoln. One of these desert. ers, on being conducted to the headquarters, was accosted by Capt. Ford, inspector general on the sta ff.of Gen. Payne, with a " What the devil brought you here I" The ex-rebel, not at all intimidated by the attempt - of rough speech from the always : genial and gallant Captain, replied with perfect composure, "I was ordered by Gen. Grant to report here, and have come," at the same time 'lulling one of the Lieutenant General's specials, No. 82, from his pocket, which the inspector general leek' no dispo- s . sition to question. • Gen. Payne, who has been quite unwell for some time, may be said to be convalescent. Acting Brigadier General A. G. Draper, who returned to duty too soon after being in the hospital, is now pros trated by chills and fever. The health of the men is generally good. Major Daniel J. Preston and Capt.

RICIONING—THE REBELS MASSING ON OUR LEFT-LBB BEING IVICINPOIICED WASHINGTON, Sept, 14.—The mail steamer John Brooks, from City Point, reports that nothing of importance was transpiring at the front when she left, yesterday morning. There are fresh indications that the rebels are massing on our left, either for aggressive purposes or with a view to prevent any similar surprise to that they received on Friday night. (Since Saturday their outposts have been strongly reinforced on our front. Deserters say that Lee's army has been lately strengthened by rein forcements from various points, and by a large num" her of conscripts, young and old. These conscripts are the poorest fighting materials the Confederacy has yet had, and their officers are compelled to keep a watchful eye on them, as they will seize the.first favdrable opportunity to desert. Hill's corps has received large accessions of conscripts, which ac count for the numerous desertions of late from this corps. RESIDENTS tVITHIN GRANT'S LINES TO TAME THE WAsnisoTorr, Sept. 14 —General Grant has issued an order sending all civilians within his lines, in front of Petersburg, who refuse to take the oath of allegiance, through the lines of the enemy. He also prMaibits the sale of provisions to those who re fuse to take the oath. LEE'S ARMY REERBORCED. WAsnitiorolf, Sept. 14.—There is no news of special interest from the Army of the Potomac. The outposts of the enemy on onr left front have been strongly fortified recently. It is stated by deserters that Lee's army has been strengthened by reinforcements from various points, and by large numbers of conscripts, but these last, it appears, have deserting proclivities.

General Averill has reoccupied Martinsburg, and the working parties engaged in repairing the Haiti more and Ohio Railroad have resumed work. A train of cars loaded with forage was sent from Harper's Ferry, yesterday, to a point within live miles of Martinsburg, and it is confidently expected the road will be open through to Cumberland by next Friday.

The London Times publishes a letter from Lieut. Col.

He adds : " The first desideratum is not attained in Perli can, Trinity Bay, where the water gradually shoals to the land, nor is the second and most im portant of the two; for the place, far away to the northward of \ civilization (the - fishing' hamlets excepted), coat(' be attacked any night by the smallest gunboat, and the end of the wire, of a value beyond all description in the event of Canadian difficulties, or, indeed; of any other important war, be utterly and easily destroyed. Both objects may, however, be attained if the end of the cable be taken to the capital city, St. Johns. The water round the coast there is fathoms deep at the foot of the perpendicular cliffs, and the entrance of the perfect little harbor, at spots where ships never anchor, is almost impregnable now, and with very little outlay may be made so absolutely.

McDowell at Victoria, which was attended by Gov. Kennedy, of Vancouver's Island, and other British notables. The treasury receipts in this any, since the last steamer's day, amount to $1,750,000. The Magazines. Blackwood's Magazine, for August, New York re print, has reached ns through W. B. Zieber, 106 South Third street. Its more noticeable papers are continuations of "Tony Better," undoubtedly. one of Lever's novels; Cornelius O'Dowd-upon Men and Women, and the pen-ultimate portion of Mrs. Oliphant's "Chronicles of Carlingford." Notices of two of the public schools of England,' of Victor Hugo's rhapsody on Shakspere, on Lewes's Aris totle, and on the Parliamentary Session, with two lyrics, constitute the other contents of IkLig-a. From Fowler brl c .Mooll, 521 Chestnut street, we have the September number of the American Exchange and Review, which is also the first number of a new volume. Among 'the prin cipal articles here, three are well worth notice. The first. dissects and explains the New Intern a l Revenue Law; the next, entitled "Hive you' got Oil i" discusses the character of the Petroleum OH Companies, which have recently been nu merously established ; and the third is a long, close, and scientific 'disquisition on the sup posed animal origin of Petroleum. This paper is left unfinished, but is to be continued. It is sugges tive and instructive. The author says (p.'52) : "The coprolites are the remains of the bones of reptiles," whereas Worcester's` Dictionary correctly states, on the authority of Dr. Backland, who invented the word (from the Greek kopros, dung, and lithos, a stone), that coprolite means petrified fecal matter,. or dung, of carnlyerous reptiles. There is a little editorial carelessness, too, in allowing such a clumsy ihversion as " 'says the'Prinoe de Toinville," to pass into print; and (p. 66) in saying "in =v./c -rating," instead of "in beginning." But the in. formation here communicated on mining and metal lurgy, monetary matters, insurance, railways and transportation, patents, arts and science, is exten sive, well arranged, and generally impartial. The American Exchange and Review Is evidently improv ing ; there is no reason why it should not be.elevat ed to an equality of merit and popttlaritry. with Hunt's Merchants' Magazine.
