Crarvinasere, Otho, Sept. 26, Bei.
The people of the lake ports are resuming their
wonted quiet. The capture of the steamers on the
lake, about which I wrote you from Toledo, was the
signal for a groat excitement.. Rumors of the most
extraordinary nature are now in oircelation, some
of them rational, others absurd. The most
excited on the inhabitants - would have it
that the pirates would stop at nothing
short of a destruction of all the cities along the
lakes. Our shipping was to_ be driven off or do- ,
stroyed, and the whole Northern frontier laid waste..
The gunboat Michigan would certainly be captured,
and with her everything would be lost.. It was even
rumored that the rebels would assemble an army of
twenty or thirty thousand men, land them at Cleve
land am Erie, and move 'Upon Pittsburg, and thus
Out off communication between the East and - West.
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania were to have bean .
laid waste, all in a week's time.. The -absurdity of
these rumors beeomes apparObi when we remember
that:leas than forty men took an aotivo part in the
piracies. Store than that number were in the secret
and would have borne a hand, had the expedition
proved a success, but this was the whole strength at
the outset.
The promptness of some of the cities to•ma,ke pre,
parations for receiving the pirates is .worthy of •
praise. Whatever pieces'of artillery could befound
were brought out and put Ira requisition. The au-,
thorities of Lida city sent a tug to cruise in the
offing, and make . signals whenever the hostile
forces should approach. Other tugs and steamers•
were ready in the harbor, and would have steamed
out at. the float signal, and attempted the destruc e
tion of the Parsons and her consort. Should the
affair occur agein, which. Is hardly likely, the lake
boatmen will be prompt to try the destruction of
their enemy. A dozen steamers in pursuit of a hos
tile boat, and determined to try the strength of their
prows upon her, would leave her comparatively
little chance of escape. Her career could last but a
day or two, especially as the Canadian authorities
!are determined that their ports shall not be used as
bases for descents upon our coasts and shipping.
Major General Dix pissed through here on Sa
turday, on his way to Sandusky, to investigate the .
conspiracy case. The principal conspirator, Cole,
16 now in 'secure hands on Johnsen's Island, arid
With him the authorities have secured Robinson,
his accomplice. They will soon be tried before a
military court, and there is little donfit, that they
will receive the full benelitsof the law:: Cole con
fesses that ho is asrebei officer, and came to San=
'dusky for the especial purpose of carrying out this
enterprise. Some of his accomplices, arrested in
Sandusky, aro still in custody, and will be duly ex
amined. Several charged with complicity, and ar
rested at the outset, have been released on account
of a lack of suflicient testimony against them. It
is pretty well established that some of the Sandusky
Copperheads were in the plot, and gave it all their
assistance. The "Sons of. Liberty" were brought
into the affair, and gave it their hearty co-opera
tion. It is not yet known what measures will 'be
taken against them. . The Copperheads deny that
there was any complicity, or - that the " Sons of
Liberty" have any existence, but the proof is too
Strong against them.
Several" deserters from the rebel army arrived
here yesterday. In accordance with the proclama
tion efGeneral Grant, they were furnished with
transportation to any point in the North to which
they desired to go. They designated Northern Ohio
as the best place, on account of its distance from
the rebel lines. The present scarcity, of labor will
enable them to make a comfortable living until thb
troubles are over, when it is hoped they can return
to their homes. This is an' excellent way of di
minishirig - the strength of the rebel • forces in the
field, at the same time that it furnishes us with la
borers to fill the Places of some of those•now in the
front. If the order of General Grant could be gone.
rally circulated among the , rebels, its Met, would
be speedily apparent. .
Forrest is reported making another raid into Ten
. ' nessee. lie is hardly likely to repeat the experi
ment of a dash upon Memphis. Since his uncere
monioue visit a month ago the city has been made
secure against a repetition of the dash. Such little
forays teach our commanders the necessity_o_esatea.
Lion; whichlhey ate Rot likely to learn in any other..
way. What he can obtain in that country it is dlfH .
cult to say, as he has already stripped it pretty tho
roughly. Ho has made it a visit about once a month
for three years, and what little there originally was
of any value was probably removed long ago. The
principal result of his raid will be to annoy our "
forces in West Tennessee, and lead them to fear an
attack in a new quarter. Forrest is very anxious
that the performances of his troops at Fort Pillow
should be forgotten, and has written several letters
to Gen. Washburne, denying in full the conduct
charged to his men.
your readers will recollect. the exposure , of the
Sons of Liberty, on the arrest of one H. IL Dodd,
of Indianapolis, on a charge of being a loader there
in. The charges and specifications ,against Dodd
have been made up and published, to give him and
his friends' an opportunity of deriyipg them to any
extent. They are quite lengthy, and cover all the
ground that can be taken against the "Sons of
Liberty.". Dodd is out wither protest against a trial
by court martial, and demands that the charges be
preaented in proper form to the civil officials, and
.that his trial, if one should be ordered, shall take
-place before a, civil court. Dodd and his friends are
very anxious that the militaly shall have nothing
to do with the matter, and. they hope that the influ
ence they could bring upon the civil courts weals
be sutfhcient to save him. Like the criminal in the
story, Who was congratulated on his prospect of ob
taining justice, it ,is the very thing they fear. A
military tribunal will give Mr. Dodd all his rights,
but he desires a great deal more. His trial is to
come off shortly. Gen. Hovey is determined to sup
press all incipient treason in Indiana as soon as
possible. . , .
The political campaign is not now very exciting:
The letters of Fremont and Cochrane, announcing
their withdrawal from the canvass, will add much
to the strength of Mr. Lincoln in Missouri. There
is no other part of the West where Fremont had
the slightest prospect of any votes, and, therefore,
no State where the withdrawal is of much import
ance. The Missouri Germans will generally cast
their votes for Lincoln and Johnson, though a few
of them will go over to McClellan. The chances of
Mr. Lincoln in Missouri are. better thin they were
three weeks ago, though they are, by no means, cer
tain. Some very good electioneering has recently
been done in the valley of the Shenandoah by our
Sheridan. The Chicago Tribune headed the account
of Sheridan's victory as an interference with a De
mooratic meeting, and called attention to the arbi
trary arrest of 3,000 Democrats. "Of course, the Op
position papers are Indignant at this style of cam
paigeing, but it _is a style that "tells" with the
Western people. Governor Wickliffe of Kentucky
will soon be complaining of the tyranny of the Lin
coln Government. • --
Mr. Vallandigham has revoked his decision not
to take part in the campaign. It will be remem
bered that ho was on his way to speak in Pennsyl
vania when he first • saw hlcOlollan's letter of
• acceptanie. He immediately returned home, and
at first tried to get up a "bolt" on the part of the
Peace men. Failing in this, he promised to sup
. port - MeClellan, but said he would not labor in the.
i:,canvass. Now ho takes back his words, and is
announced to speak at several places during the
Present week. The Peace men will support Mc-
Clellan to the utmost, as they have ,the assurance
that his administration will be satisfactory to therii.
Mr. Pendleton has not written any letter of accept
ance, and excuses himself. on the ground of not
being formally notified of his nomination. • None of
his friends want bins to write a letter; as it would be
of the ultra Peace character, and tend to alienate
the War. Democrats. It was a neat trick to bring
out McClellan's acceptance so strong on the war
policy, and keep Pendleton in tho background.

To the Editor of The Pries:
Sin: I Was reminded by a communication in to

living near this city. During one of the hottest
days of last month she got - into ono of the Eighth
street cars with her little" son on'his crutches, and
her infant.in the arms of her nurse a bright mulatto
girl. The conductor ordered the girl out, of the ears.
"The lauy remonstrated, calling his attention to her
helpless children, and that she must have the assist.
anus of the girl. The conductor said he was acting
according to his orders, stopped the cars, and they
, had to get out and walk several squares in the hot
sun. She and her friends feel very indignant at
such barbarous treatment. It ought not to be tole-
rated. it is a disgrace tothe city of Philadelphia.

STEHMT oi, THE HON. NOF,THOHEILY Brhatt-:
Before the iast great mass meeting in New York,
Mr. Blair_ delivered a speech replete with practical
good sense wail convincing arguments. AlludlnglO
his retirement from the Cabinet':
.
Sonia of-MY friends—very good Wend§ indeed—
have questioned"the kindness of the PreSident to me
in dictating my resignation under the oircumstanoes
of-the country. .-Lot mo tell- you, my friends,lbat
the President , hae at least the support of those.who
are nearer 'td r
me than our people on this
earth. I retirbd by the - recommendation of my'own
father to - the President of.the United• States. [Loud
cheers.] He has passed that period in life when its
humors, 'its ;rewards, or • Its 'glories -have 'any
chasm for him:. Be looks back only and forward
only to the grandeur of this nation, and the happi
ness of the people who are growing up under•-the
Constitution and the Union : and he would not per
mit a• son .of his to stand in the way of the conscrip
tion and the suPport.olthe loyal and patriotic Chief
Magistrate who now leads us on to success—not for..
anything -that . ear th .00uld . have in store fir
tam. [Applause.]-• .
Folloiving this, Mr. Blair gave a' scathing retiew
of. General lvicCiellisni Wilithison's•Landing"
platform : . . _ .
, . .
What were the principles. he.then "took occasion
to declare" to Presidest•Lincoin in the letter from
Harrison's Landing, to Which he refers l Therefore :
First. "The COnstitution and the Union] must be.
preserved whatever maybe the cost in time; trea

he directs his letter ak'ing this tumePtance, °Hail- -
mites the President for following out this - portion of
the General's rdireotion ! Second - . The. next dime
tibn is, " The Government must determine upon-a
eiviDand military nolicynoyering the whole ground
f o
burnationaltiguldes." It is - very remarkable that
neither the Corneention; in, its platform nominating
General-McOlMlan, nor, the • General in . accept-.
ing that nomination,'- says one Word about'
Shivery, _which - - s is • at , the bottom of all our
national troubles. Here, again, Mr. Lindoln is.
marked as 'alin . quent, although literally pure
suing the injunction °flaying down a civil and
tary policy coveringthe whole ground ofour national •
troubles, making a sound basis by the extinction of
that which , rid acknowledged to be the "whole
ground of our national troubles." Third. He tells
the President " The responsibility of determining,
declaring, and -supporting suck civil and military'
policy, and 'directing the whole course of national
alleirs,nn regard to• the rebellion; must now be
snmed and exercised by you,-or.our cause will be.
lost." Mr. Lincoln - has' obetredthis mandate. He :
'has given all-his ficulties to effectuate the military:
policy so as to crush the rebellion and extirpate the
cause, and to enable the civil policy delineated in •
our National and State Constitut ioris;trodd en down:
in the South, and occasionally suspended in the
North, to -confront insuperable difficulties bylegel
process,-to resume. its. inactions - fully, This com
plianco with the platform, laid down in the Harri
son-Landing letter, is . the ground work of
the denunciation. of President Lincoln's Ad•
ministrationlin the-Chicago Convention. Fourth. ,
-Another plank in- the Harrison-Landing plat- .
form is put down thus: "The -right •of -the Go-•
vernment to appropriate permanently, to its own,
service, claims to slave labor, should be 'assorted,
and the right of the owner to compensation therefor
should be recognized. This • principle might be ex
tended, upon grounds of military, necessity and
security, to all slaves of - a particular State, thus
working manumission in such State; and in Mill-
Eouri, perhaps Br '
West Virginia also and possibly
ven in Maryland, the expediency of such a mea
sure is only a question of time." This is, in sub
stance, President . Lincoln's problamation—[ap : .
plause]—with the difference that tliis "compensation
for slaves is confined by the President to loyal
owners, and that he exempted Missouri, West Vir
ginia. and Maryland from the manumission, which
General McClellan seemed inclined only to post
pone. Fifth. Thei"conelusion of the military' re
ecript, sent to the' President .by -his general; evi
dently to guide his. whole policy
.during. his term,
and - to inclicatethat which he would pursue as his
successor, is a Very comprehensive summary, all to
be-compassed by concentration of military power,
and by I his means -having the Confederate armies
thoroughly defeated. Here is the Conclusion of the
Platform—[laughter]—on which the General placed
- himself at Harrison's Landing, in 1862: " The
policy of the Government must be supported by
concentrations ofsnilitary power.. The Confederate
armies thoroughly defeated (just as Grant, and
Sherman, and Sheridan are doing)— [ A.pplause. A
voice : - . ,, What he never did"]—the political struc
ture which they support would soon cease to exist."
This programme is substantially that of the Balti
more Convention, and with a, suggestion looking to
the reassertion of the Monroe- policy in regard to
foreign interference on this continent, and some
thing to correspond.to the hint given by its• act ad
mitting Tennessee to its councils as a State in the
Union, without a. renewed sanction for its admis
sion, and .nominating Andrew Johnson for Vice
President [applause], thus recognizing the.validity
of the President's proclamation restoring the Union,
there would have been a complete identity of policy
between the General, .the Baltimore Convention,
and President Lincoln. Indeed, I should have been
arcazed a,t G (morel McCiellan's presenting himself
as a candidate to•accomplish the views of the Peace
Democracy who have repudiated all the' principlea
and policy that have conducted the country in the
vindication of itaGovernment during its four cam
paigns against the rebellion, and which has almost'
reduced it to the compass of the siege of Richmond,

MoCnimnaw's LZTTEn.—In a speech at Sydney,
Ohio, on• the 24th, Vallandigham gave his opinion
of General lecOlellan , s letter of acceptance as
follows :
I - cannot agree with the distinguished gentleman .
my friend, to . whom I hare alluded (51.r.,-Pegh);
that that letter is identical with the platform . pre-.
sentcd by the Conventlon....ely reading . of the'
English language does not lead me to that inter
pretation of it. I differ, with all duo respect, from
him. And I claim, as the member from .Ohlo.of the
Committee on Resolutions in that Convention; to
have official personal knowledge that he is mix-
taken. The two principal points in that ;letter of
acceptance to which- I object were brought before
that committee. The one to the effect that until
the States and the people of the South had retarned
to the Union, wo would not - exhaust - these , c arts
of statesmanship" as they. are called;
_received
but three votes in that committee, though pre
sented almost in the very words of the letter
itself. I say, therefore, . it is impossible for
me to subscribe to the opinions expressed in that
letter. They are'. the private opinions, V . 'you please,
of General McClellan, which he has a perfect right to
entertain and publish. I, having an equal and petlect
right to dissent' from them, do, reject them. I do not
accept them as an expression of the sentiments of
the Democratic party, but recognize his right to en-'
tertain•and express them on all suitable occasions.
Which of the number of those who are for the opi
nion expressed in that totter or in the platform is .
right and which is - wrong the.peeple of this country
must determine. For myself, I not only entertain
the opinions expressed in the Chicago platform, but
I recogn4e that platform as containing the law and
the prophets of the Democratic party . [Applause.]
Dissenting, then, from that letter, but according the
right to hold and utter them to General Iff.cCiellan,•
I plant myself distinctly upon the doctrines of the
party as enunciated by its supreme legislative as
sembly met at Chicago. I say this, too, because
' somewhat has been sole in the prints of both poli
tical parties in - regard to my position—a misunder
standing in part and a misrepresentation in part. I
regret it—the letter of acceptance to .which .I have
reterred—for one reason. tended to change the
issue from peace and war to the question of how the
war should . be conducted: : • ' :

almost dying words. of General Philip Kearney on

ney; who was a staunch Deinoorat, expressed in se
veral letters, which he wrote during the Peninsula
campaign, an unqualified condemnation of hlctliel
lan's strategy and conduct. He said, in speaking of
the Young Napoleonthat the Campaign was being
"fought by driblets,' that the 'army was "under
the control of imbecility, or something worse, "and
that, soldier as he" was, he could almpst wsh he
was back again to his quiet home in Jersey. One of
these memorable letters closes with the emphatic
declaration: tell you that McClellan is burnt out!"
It should be the sacred task of the patriots of New
Jersey to render the sainted Kearney's words pro
'
phetic in his native State, during the approaching
verdict of November. If he is burnt out in Jersey,
we may safely predict he will not be the recipient

You wish to know my opinion as to the bast can

' who have spent three years in the

Fritit Trees ill Cities.
To the' Edftor of The Press:
SIR: • Alloy; me, through your widely circulated
jonritai, to make a g,nggestion respecting the more
.extensivectiltpre of fruit trees in our city.
Where is the' Man; woman, or child, who does not
like a. good apple, poach, or pear, in season or out of
season' Why s then, are not those and other deli
ciorti fruitS more abundant? Why_ cannot; the la
borlig man have his basket or barrel of apples, 'as
Well as his buthel of potatoes or barrel of flour ?
Ans. Because the farmer considers fruit an -.uncer
tain crop, especially if he live distant from market.
The better the fruit the more likely to be spoiled be
fore it can be sold: If wheat, corn, or oats - cannot
be Bold one day,' they can another. Not io with pe
rishable fruit's. They must be sold, or they must be
lost. These facts go to show the importance of oul
.
tivating fruit near the city. •
To show how much may be made with 'small
means—a gardener in the vicinity of New ;York is
repOrted to haVe sold five hundred dollars' worth of
fruit grown in one season on half an acre. .A thrifty
culturist could probably do as well almost any
season from the smaller fruits, such as berries and
grapes, for which there is always a demand, not
only for present but future use, as in preserves,
essences, &c. .
As the 'season is approaching for planting and
transplanting trees, our object at present is, chiefly
'to draw attention to the, subject of domestic fruit
trees. ,
Many of our citizens have extensive gardens or
yards contiguous to their dwellings sufficiently
ample to accommodate three or four standard trees.
Few are So short of room, especially in the Suburbs,
that they could not raise one or two. If - too small
even for this; lot them cultivate one, two; or three
dwarf trees, which occupy little . space, and are
sometimes quite productive. If entirely. without
yard or garden room; could not dwarf trees, vines,
&c., be planted in a broad cask or box, well secured
on a flat, shed, balcony, or piazza _
If shut out froth every other spot, we still haie
the struts or thoroughfares! Don't be alarmed
now, sir, at the absurdity of this suggestion. - We
see the richest and most beautiful variety of flowers
growing in our public cemeteries, parks, and, not
unfrequently, An front of private houses. How
seldom are they molested._ Bad as the world is, we
believe it might be better. The way to make pea
pie trusty is prudently to trust tirm. Were fruit
trees to be seen in every gardeniyard, and street,
they would scarcely excite .. .notice or awaken the
cupidity of pilferer& Is it not, at all events, worth
trying l •
We recollect. the time when very Many of our
• streets were clisfiguresliiith' the odious Lombardy
poplar, and some 'other eatoties—almCst as useless
fOr fUSI as tot tizaliel=feitalliii - C. - nucleus for dirt,
worms, or vermin; While oar
. own beantiful Aniori
can poplar and other indigenous• trees were almost'
unknown.
Our streets and public Simms are now happily
ornamented by our own noble iorest tretp- 7 the oak,
maple, horse chestnut, So; Bat we would rather
see at , least one-half "of such trees superseded by
fruit trees of standard growth—apple and pear. If
we could not yet venture on peach; apricot, and
plum, we could substitute the 'walnut * hickory, and
chestnut.
A. few year's since the banev.oleat and_ eccentric
Elliott Cresson left a bequest of ten thousand dol
lars (!) to the city ; to be expended inpla.nting trees
on Broad street.
We know not whether the legacy proved as ef
feetive as designed, but we are pleased to see the
end is ; in a measure, accomplished. Had he inserted
in the will fruit instead of ornamental or shade
trees; his memory would probably be blessed by fa
ture genemtion.? ; while they enjoyed both the shade
and the fruit.
Ilre believe the time is coming, sir, when every
highway. road, and railroad, too, shall be beautified
and enriched in this way. The sooner the better,
We say. -
.
If we grant that young Americans are more mis
chievous than boys from abroad, we will riot admit
that they are 'More dishonest.- The almshouses, pri
sons, &c., show that our Most hardened and incorri
gible rogues are exotics. .
- If. we are rightly informed, fruit trees - are some
tildes found in Enroneara cities and in the public
highwaT s of the small islands oldie British Channel.
The writer has seen towering cherry trees in a
Western town, with choiceJruit' in many . of the
yiiirds. In some . parts of Spain it is customary for a
traveller to bury or plant the seed or stone of fruit
‘tia eaten, by Alta means the roads are lined with
Were farmers - to - see that the public roads wore
decorated in the Same ni,finner, we'bele'ye that their
orchards would seldom be molested.
It would serve to show the disposition*of the con
tiguous proprietor, as ashes or sand on ice indicates
the character of the benevolent sprinkler.
A question may here be asked, who would own
the trees and the fruitl
• Weiould prefer riot disposing of the apples, pears,
cherries, and nuts before we get them. If all eau
not enjoy the bloom, they may the blossom. In the
country, let.every wayfaring man be permitted to
help himself. In the city lot the police look after
these, as they now do other trees, and if difficult to
find an owner, allow them to be distributed in our
almshouses, hospitals, or other eleemosynary insti- -
tutions, not overlooking even our penitentiary and
prisons. It would let the miserable inmates see
that neither idleness nor crime has quite shut them
out from huMan sympathy.
I am : sir, your obedient servant,

Nothing is more psrceptible to persons who invest
their money in the stocks which are found upan the
stock board list than the recent steady and lista*
decline in prices. When we view this fact con
nection with the fluctuations in gold, it affords bject
for reflection. Why should not railroad sto be
,
quoted up when gold. is up ? It is the favorite tbeo ../ of
a certain class of economists that the premium on gold
indicates unerringly to that extent tholepreciatione f the
national currency. If it were so, an explanation is needed
to : eatow why prices at the stock board do not entirely
sympathize with gold. As the litter advancer, it Would
follow that the . greenbacka approach to crorthiessness,
and ,of courte,itwonld require more of them to purchase
the bonds and shares of railroads and other corporations:
daily offered in the market: DO we find it so? A glance
at-the present quotations and those for, a Month or two
ago, show a general depreciation in mlecollaneotts
stocks. We have never, Of•connie, ad : roCated that a
greenback was worth its face in gold; thirlact that it
does not rasa among the peoPla as such•is Itself an evi
dence of the absurdity of such a theory.. Bat it is
without doubt that as the gold premium has 'been
continually forced up, it has never bean, a fair
indication of the financial situation. For in
terested. purposes, gold has
. been kept at a high
figure, even at times when everything indicated the
extent of the bubble. But it is bursting now, as every
day it becomes clearer that a new condition of affairs is
about being inaugurated. by our successful military
chieftains: It is a somewhat singular circumstance
that, as will be seen in the following table showing the
prices of the principal Blocks yesterday as :compared
with what they were on the Ist of August, the Govern
ment loans have so stoutly stood " tLe test of time."

The recent revolution in gold, the panic in the rail
ways, and the unsettling of produce and merchandise
Amines. have all contributed to direct popular attention
more directly to Government securities, both gold and
currency interest. The Cubscriptlona to the new
Per cent, curreney interest for three .years, and then
convertible into 6 per cent gold-bearing, stocks, are on
the increase throughout the country, and treasury 6 per
cent. certificates are in strong demand At the Stock Ex
change. At the same time the gold-bearing stock of the
United States have scarcely been moved from their
steady position by the great change in the value of the
gold itself, in which the interest is half-yearly to be
Paid: Every panic in the general stock market serves
still more to convince the people of the superior value
otthe Government loans as an investment. As to seen.
rity there can be no better stooks on the market, having,
as they do; the faith of the Government pledged for
their redemption Nothing can be more absolutely
foolish than to, purchase the bonds of corporations in
Preference to Government bonds, on the gronndthat the
latter are lees secure. A cotemporary relates the fol
lowing incident as happening in New :York city, and
we might Aldo that there are many similar cases
in our own city: It Is stated that a gentleman who
had twenty :thousand dollen — of the gold-bearing
7 8-lOU's when the news came of Banks' defeat on the
Bed river immediately sold them at the market price,'
piecing his money in a_ trust company. 'where he was
paid three per cent. per annum. The trust company had
nearly all its Capital invested in Governments, so that
if the Government should fail to pay, the trust company
will fail also. The buyer of the "7 3-10ths absolutely
- _
pledged them to the same company as a collateral secn=.
Pity for a loan - at six per cent., so that the - orfiinal hold
er, whO had become fearful that the Government would
fail, was paying the • trust company three per cent, per
annum to loan his money on the same security that he
had sold. in. order to make himself more safe.. This is
a fair sample of the absurdities constantly occurring.
Capitalists We, many of them. just so stupid. • -
