THE GREAT VITIES nxisrsT BE IN
THE HANDS OF THOROUGH UNION-
IsTs.
Since the bloody experiment of the re
bellion a new interest has attached to the
proper government of great municipalities
like Philadelphia. In ordinary times it
might be a matter of inferior concern which
party held the offices, and collected and
disbursed the taxes, and conducted the
police, supposing both to be honest ; but
our local public. servants have other duties
to perform just now. It is, therefore, a
prime condition that they should be men
whose relation to the recent struggle for the
maintenance of the Government has not been
equivocal. Suppose, during that struggle,
our populous and powerful cities had
been in the hands of the mobs that made a
military constabulary necessary in New
York ? Another army would have been
essential to keep the peace at home, and a
baffled Government would have been so
weakened by efforts to stifle turbulence in
the free, as to be hopeless to curb treason in
the slave States. Philadelphia, Baltimore,
St. Louis, Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Bos
ton, and the other New England towns,
were so many nurseries and citadels
Of freedom, because they were held by
the strong arms of thorough Unionists, who
were fired with the warm blood of a resist
less patriotism. Among all these proud
capitals, we claim that Philadelphia was the
proudest. Her contributions to the re
public were given with an eager, instinctive,
and religious fervor. She gave the pride
and the prime of her young manhood.
She gave her millions in money. And her
women so organized their time and talents
in the sublimest works of benevolence and
charity, as to have crowned themselves
with a world's applause, and to have stir
red a thousand communities by the inspira
tion of their example. This enviable fame
must not be clouded by a defeat of the
Union ticket at the coming city election.
But there is a higher reason for the election
of MonTox McMicrtam, to the post of
Mayor of Philadelphia. No one can tell
what new occasion may demand the same
organizations and the same vigilance
that stood by and responded to the calls
of the Government under the firm and
matchless administration of ALEXANDER
HENay. Peace has been conquered, but
faction lives and plots, and waits its hour
to strike. The true patriot cannot doubt
whom he should choose as between the
candidates for Mayor. The sentiment of
this article is so well stated in the short
letter of our estimable Chief Magistrate, Mr.
HENRY, to the great meeting of Saturday
evening, that we trust no citizen will fail
to read that significant endorsement of the
Union candidate for Mayor.
FREE LABOR IN VIRGINIA.
The following fact offers a fair prognos
tication for the future welfare and prosperity
of a portion of Virginia. The agent of the
Scotch Emigration Society has secured a
twenty years' lease of thirty thousand acres
of bottom land on the James River, below
Richmond, which will be occupied this au
tumn by a colony of three hundred Scottish
agriculturists, who intend to make market
gardening their special business. This sim
ple and bare statement contains within it the
hope of the speedy inauguration of a com
plete and vital change in the system which
has led the Old Dominion to the very brink
of ruin. With a vast domain embracing
every variety of surface, from pine-topped
mountain to river meadow, and with a soil
of wonderful native richness, both in vege
table growth and mineral wealth, she has
been steadily declining from her primal
fertility, year by year, until the war, that
has made her its battle-field, merely com
pleted the work, and marked in stronger
lines the ruin already wrought out by her
own system of folly and wrong. But the
" dark and sinful burden" has been re
moved, and we will no longer • see her
fruitful lands fading into barrenness under
the ban of unwise and exhaustive tillage,
and her low, rich river -bottoms, warm,
luxuriant, moist, and becoming mere dreary
replies of swamp and thicket, sending
forth in their very richness miasma and
death instead of fruitfulness and health.
The proposed emigration of experienced,
educated, and thrifty laborers into such a
country as they have selected is an
era not only in agriculture, but in the
whole polity of a State where labor
has been despised as the heritage of the
slave. The plough. " and the hoe can
no longer be considered as the badge of
degredation and the mark of inferiority
-when they are the implements of an intelli
gent pursuit, followed by men who treat
their trade as a science, and bring to the
aid of their business a knowledge drawn
from the laboratories of the chemists and
the researches of the foremost scientific
minds of the age. The most ignorant Vir
ginian will be forced by such an example
to respect the work through admiration of
the workman, and will soon learn the
utter folly of that old conceit that has
almost ruined his country. The dignity
of labor must be vindicated in the very
midst of our Southern States before the an
cient misapprirhension can be eradicated
from the mind of the community, and the
- work is a worthy one for any class or
people.
HARPY:WS FERRY-ITS STORY.
Harper'S Ferry, the marvel of tourists,
has enough beauty lavished upon it by
nature to make it celebrated forever, even
if varied interests of many other kinds were
not congregated around its majestic bluffs,
In our old peaceful days it enjoyed a semi
romantic fame as serving as a kind of
Gretni Green, to which, by long-established
custom, all runaway lovers from the neigh
boring States fled for that matrimonial balm
or band that they expected to end all their
sorrows.
That sturdy pioneer, old Jonn Bnowx,
here antedated by but a few years the im
pending conflict which was to be the
deathblow of the national sin that he so
hated; and history has since (as it always
does) re - written the wildest . dreams of the
true-hearted visionary into fact, and shown
again that every grand advance in the
march of mankind must be preceded by a
line of devoted skirniishers, the forlorn hope
o f the present, who will be the recognized
martyrs of the future !
By a strange coincidence, one of the ear
liest events of the war was another seizure
o f thi s grand mountain gateway by another
" traitor ;" but the cause was changed, and
it was held by mad Southern fanatics as a
key to the capital of their endangered coun
try.
These first days of terror passed, and
again the grand old ferry was held by a
loyal leader—a man who had learned well
his lesson of fealty on the bloody border
lands of Kansas. To round the story into
poetic fullness, beside him - stood one to
whom the very ground beneath his feet was
sacred to liberty, for there he had fought a
harder battle when he sought a convict's
body,-wrapped intim opprobrium of the gal
lows, and bore it away confident in the
hope that when it was mouldering in the
ground the soul that had led that mad, wild
scheme would still be marching on to
achieve by wiser means the initiated work.
The war raged on and victory followed
the banner of the Union into far distant
States, yet the ferry lay still in the midst
of the bloody debatable ground, where the
MO forces strove for masterdom with all
the intensity of border warfare.
The war is over, and its issue is liberty.
And now where her father fought, and
failed and suffered for his visionary hope,
old Jon Snows's daughter teaches the
lessons of freedom to a band of enfran
chised slaves, and Governor WISE protests
fruitlessly against that Nemesis which has
created his mansion into the school' where
she instructs the freedmen.
There was indeed a meaning in the chance
that placed the sword given by LA FAYETTE
to Wimunterrort in the rugged hand of Os-
SAWOTTAKEE DROWN for the same war was
still waging; wherein each had taken part
according to the needs of his generation.
WASHINGTON, the rebel against monarchy—
WM, the rebel against right—Bnown, the
rebel against wrong, each did his work, and
alike through the help and through the
hindrance, the end was accomplished.
LATEST FROM MEXICO.
A letter from a well-informed and intelli
gent Mexican correspondent, (Mr. J. P.
O'BRIEN', of the State of Chihuahua,) brings
us the latest reliable news front Mexico.
Chihuahua has been the stronghold of
President BENITO JAUREZ, from the first
serious blow given to his authority by the
French troops, and that province or State
is 'now chiefly occupied by French troops.
Our correspondent informs us that JUAREZ
was on the eve of leaving Mexico, for New
York, where VS family have resided for
some time, and that it was expected that
before leaving Chihuahua he would prepare
a protest against the French invasion,
claiming to be Mexican President de jure
and de facto, and denying the right of any
foreign Power to interfere in American
affairs. Mr. O'BRIEN's letter, though evi
dently written from an Imperial stand
place, contains reliable statements about
Mexico and public persons and things
therein. And yet, in the face of this direct
information, confirmed by recent and fre
quent news, the associated telegraph sends
us, by way of New Orleans, intelligence
that Sonora, Chihauhan, and other Mexi
can towns are in the hands of the Liberals.
The boldness of this fabricated news should
have put the operator a trifle on his guard.
CONFIDENCE OF FOREIGNERS IN
AMERICAN SECURITIES.
From Itarper's Weekly (for September
23) we take an article entitled "British
Capital on the Wing," which deserves and
will requite a careful reading. At a time
when there is a national and general solidi.
tude in regard to the financial future of our
country, and when many of our most san
guine statesmen advise prudence and econo
my against what they think a coining
day of reduced incomes and specie
payments, the information contained in
this article from Harper is alike welcome
and valuable. There are no severer judges
and more resolute seekers after facts, when
their money is to be invested, than the
English; and their enormous purchases of
American railroad securities (none of them
in the South) show their well-founded con
fidence in our political stability and in the
successful development 'of our national
resources. It appears from the article
we copy that nothing has daunted these
foreigners. They seem to have bought
shares in every considerable • corporation
in the free States, to have actually be
gun to invest in the panic year of 1857 w
and to have continued their outlays and
their unflagging faith in honest and full
returns in the darkest hours of the rebellion.
The example of the English was followed
by the nobility and capitalists of other
countries, especially the Spanish ; and the
westward visit of the party headed by Sir
MonTox PETO, (whose fine speech at
Meadville, in this State, we printed a few
days ago,) Mr. KTNNAIRD, our former citi
zen Jarans Mellnxnv and others, seems to
be a prospecting tour for the purpose
of gathering other information for - more
venture's of the same kind. The cautious
and even suspicious charaeter of men of
this class, in all money matters, especially
in regard to high rates of interest, is a
new guarantee that when they come to the'
- United States to put their hard cash into
our securities, they are convinced that
American rates and premiums and divi
dends, however flattering, are sure to last.
Those of our own citizens, who are apt to
be staggered at the wonderful exhibits and
proofs of national and individual wealth,
should read what we have republished and
be easy.
TEE GovnRIiMENT has evidently adopted
a vigorous and comprehensive policy in
reference to the Indian tribes • west of the
Mississippi. A short time since, General
SANBORN, after pursuing the Southern In
dians, who had been interrupting travel on
'the plains, made a treaty with their chiefs,
by which they solemnlypromised to abstain
from future outrages, and to use their best
exertions to secure the good behavior of all
other tribes. The commission in session
at Fort Smith has formed treaties with the
tribes of the Indian Territory, by which
their internal disputes have been arranged,
peaceful relations restored, and the difficul
ties growing out of the intrigues of the
agents of the Confederacy adjusted. By a
telegraphic despatch, which we publish this
morning, it will be seen that some of the
members of the Fort Smith Commission
have been detaiecl to meet representatives
of the Arrapahoes, Cheyennes, and other
Indian tribes, at Bluff Creek, Colorado, on
the 4th of October. At this meeting, we
trust a treaty will be formed with these im
portant tribes that will result in the esta
blishment of pacific relations. Meanwlule,
Gen. COTTER is on the war path in search
of the hostile tribes of the North and North
west, with fair prospects of accomplishing
important results.
A GROWING FEELING in favor Of a high
protective tariff is evident in the tone of
our Western exchanges. Numerous arti
cles, characterized by great ability, appear
in their columns. The importance of di
versifying our industry is conceded, and two
great points are powerfully presented, viz :
first, that the farmer best serves his inte
rests by encouraging manufactures which
furnish a home market and diminish com
petition in agricultural pursuits ; and se
cond, that the internal revenues of the Fe
deral Government being chiefly derived
from the manufacturing industry of the
country, while real estate furnishes the
basis of the taxation levied for the support
of State and municipal purposes, it is vitally
important to stimulate the former and thus
prevent the whole burden of indebtedness
from being thrown on the latter. It would
be difficult, if not impossible, for a nation
exclusively devoted to agriculture to main
tain our credit, while by a liberal encou
ragement of our manufacturing and mining
interests it will be easy to defray the an
nual charge of our debt and to provide for
the speedy extinguishment of the principal.
A gratifying proof of the feeling of some of
the agriculturists of the West is afforded by
the following letter to the Tariff Association
of Cleveland, written by Hon. J. B. GRIN
NELL, M. C. from lowa, who is the owner
of six thousand acres of land, and au exten
sive grower of grain and stock :
all ,elves me pleasure to say that I concur
most fully with you in principles and policy.
A near market for the agricultural States is
always to be chosen in preference to a foreigu
one. The hope that our new States will be
nalliuMeturing States is a chimera, if we do
not foster and protect what manufaetures we
have. I am for the highest duty on all arti
cles which we can fabricate or raise at home,
and as earnestly for a premium on all the
skilled labor it is necessary to import, that
we may feed, clothe and warm all who labor
for us on our own soil. A great, vital struggle
is at hand, and I wish you all sagacity and
enterprise inbehalf of our material interests."
A COMMITTEE of thirty gentlemen con
nected with the Councils of St. Louis are
about to visit Philadelphia, for the purpose
of inspecting our various municipal im
provements. They will receive a cordial
welcome and gain much useful informa
tion. Our citizens are so accustomed to
the numerous advantages they enjoy that
they scarcely appreciate their value. But
our new market-houses, our police, and
fire'-alarm telegraph system, our gas and
water-works, and our steam-fire engines
are unsurpassed in completeness and in
substantial usefulness to the Community.
They deserve the attention of all municipal
legislators who are in search of models
worthy of imitation.
TEE Washington Chronicle of Saturday
says: " J. L. RLNGWALT, of Pennsylvania,
has been appointed an agent to visit the
branch mint at Denver City, to examine
into the feasibility of transmitting bullion. ;
to the Government from the mining region
to the East, and accommodating the miners
with Zaitern exchange."
the— papers that call themselves
Democratic in this State,. are enamored of
the resolutions of the .New York Demo
cracy, , and are, in fact, • advocating the
election of their candidates for State offi
cers on the strength of these resolutions
rather than on the basis of those adopted
at Harrisburg by their own delegates.
This is equivalent to an admission that
their own resolutions are hypocritical and
false. It is like borrowing the good name of
a neighbor to cover their own sins.
THE DISGRACEFUL INCONSISTENCY Of the
appeals of the men who opposed the war
during its continuance to tile soldiers for
support is skillfully portrayed in the follow
ing supposititious address, setting forth their
real sentiments, which we find in the Daily
Patriot, a campaign sheet, published at
Newark :
"FELLOW-CITIZENS, BRAVE SOLDIERS, MINIONS
OF LINCOLN, AND HIRELINGS OF A DESPOT: Your
friends salute you with a warm and angry
grasp of the hand. We are so much delighted
to see you safely returning that we hardly can
find breath in the height of our rejoicing to
curse you for not dying before you came back
to our 'hearts and our enmities.
4 , It is with mingled emotions of hate and ad
miration that we welcome you home, brave
and brutal soldiers, to the rewards of honor,
malice, and detraction.
"Wel:now that you have followed the cow
artll3., ruffian and irreproachable Bayard, Kil
patrick, with an ardor which was born of pti
triotio fire and diabolical rascality; and, as we
deride and vilify him, do we praise and Sus
tain you.
44 Heed not, we pray
. you the so-called Pa
triot, who says we .deprived you of your right
of suffrage, foryou well know we did no
such thing; ; and if we did, you know you de
served it.
a We counsel you to beware of false wit
nesses, who will tell you that Marcus L. Ward
run away from Bull Run, while Theodore Run
yon nursed the soldiers in the hospitals.
"Believe us when we solemnly adjure you,
by all you hold sacred, by thememory of ,your
glorious deeds, and bj? the blood you nave
spilled upon many an angry battle-geld, to up
hold the honor of New Jersey in the only way
in which it can be done, by casting your vote
and working with your might for the men who
kicked you, dear friends, only for your
good ; and who, in similar circumstances,
would not only lack, but Si* upon you for
your best welfare. You are brave, scandalous,
infamous, noble, generous, self sacrificing
scoundrels, whose deeds will live forever in
the memory of all true men who cherish man
liness and devotion as the type of all that is
mean, dastardly and repulsive."
TirE National Intelligencer of Saturday,
in the course of an article in reply to Go
vernor STONE, of lOWA, who fears a return
of the rebel chiefs to power, says :
"Now, we submit, with all respect for the
convictions and position of the Governor of
lowa,. that the spirit of such remarks is full of
a (lesign to kimdle the flames of discord which
the good sense, affectionate feelings, and de•
termined patriotism of the entire people of the
nation are fast extinguishing. The spirit of
this appeal is especially reprehensible, since
it entirely omits the fact that the President
has used and is using such precaution as must
effestivelvprerent the return of the class of men
whom the Governor describes to4places of na•
tional trust, even were the south disposed to
make such men their standard-bearers."
TEXAS AND MEXICO.
Reported Successes of the Liberals
IVE THOUSAND CONFESERATES ENROLLED IN THE
IMPERIAL ARMY.
NEW Yonx, Sept. 16.—Files of New Orleans
Papers to the 7th have been received.
The Brownsville (Texas) correspondent of
the Times says the health of the colored sol
diers continues bad. Sanitary measures have
been adopted and strictly enforced.
Tho Ugh quiet, the Liberals in Matamoras
are collecting a large force, and will soon in
crease it by a union with the forces of COL L
tinas, CaraTajal, Dangles and De Leon. •
A skirmish took place on the Tampico road,
between the Republican troops, under Es Ca
bedo, and a party of Imperialists, under Tina- ,
ferro, having a wagon train in charge. The
Imperialists were driven back to Monterey,
where, gettin g reinforcements, they went out
again, and were met by Cortinas' guerillas, and
again driven.
our rebel Americans were barbarously mur
dered recently by robbers. One of the party
is reported to have been Gen. Parsons, of Mis
souri; while another report has it Col. Par.
sons, of Texas.
Caine, Sept. IG.—The correspondent of the
New Orleans 2791264 7 writing from the city of
Mexico on the 11th inst., says :
The news from the United States causes
great agitation. The Imperialists are iu a
state of extreme anxiety. The'more zealous
adherents of Maximilian are discouraged, and
.every one seems to feel increasing despond
ency.
The Liberal forces are increasing rapidly in
every direction..
The City papers daily chronicle continued
fighting. The town of Santiago, near Orizaba,
has declared for Juarez. Juarez has recog
nized Gen. Garcia as the Liberal Governor of
Vera Cruz. This place offers great advantages
to the Liberals, as it puts them in connection
with the States of TOnitaco and Chiapa. Var
rious bodies of Liberals have united there, se
riously menacing Orizaba itself, and the rail
road from Vera Cruz. The Imperialists at
tacked the place twice, and were severely re
pulsed. This result caused great sensation.
The Austrian detachment at Allatitian, com
posed of a company of lancers, another of in
and mounted howitzers, were com
pelled to surrender to the Liberals.
The Austrian officer in command, IL. N.
ny_cuck, and the Imperialist officer-were shot.
The 'Austrian commander in Michoachan
paroled some Republicans in the hope that
the Belgian prisoners would be similarly
treated by the Liberals. The advantages in
that State are decidedly for the Liberals.
The official paper in Durango mentions the
reappearance in that State of Gen. Pattana,
who had joined the bands of Corona and Ca
lista. Their combined forces amounted to
25,000 men. The French were awaiting their
movements with great anxiety.
The French General Neigre had issued an
order that all proprietors must arm their
laborers to resist the Liberals, and makes the
said proprietors responsible for the acts of the
Juarists. This is only giving arms and re- •
emits to the Liberals.
The correspondence from Tampico is of the
most discouraging kind.. It has been three
mouths since communication has been had
with San Luis and the interior. No merchan
dise can be transported, and trade is com
pletely blocked.
There has been no movement of the Imperi
alists in Sonora,. Chihuahua. Gerrera, Tobacco,
Chiapa and Calma t which States are entirely
in the hands of the Liberals.
[The special despatch we printed two weeks
ago, and the letter from our special correspond
ent at Chihuahua, which will be found in an
other column of to-day's issue, prove this lat
ter statement to be both fabricated and false.
—ED. PnEss.]
Five thousand confederates have been en
rolled in the Imperial army. They expect to
get 20,000 from this source. Gwyn is at the
head of this business.
It having gained currency that the Empress
would visit Belgium to see her sick father,
and that Maximilian contemplated going to
Yucatan, the French have terminated the pro
ject on the ground that it would excite a be
lief that they were leaving , the country, and
destroy the confidence of their adherents.
A play, entitled ( 4 The Death of Mr. Lim
coln,” announced in the theatres, has been for

JAMES D. BENNETT, formerly of this city,
afterwards of Hagerstown, has removed to
Beverly, N. -T., where he intends to continue
the practice of his profession, the law. Mr.
Bennett resided. in Hagerstown during the
whole of the late war, and distinguished him
self by his loyalty, and the ability and spirit
with which he upheld the Governinellt, One
article of his especially—published. in the
Hagerstown Herald and Torela—on parties ;
their duties, and their distinguishing
ella
racteristics, excited a great deal of discussion
and attention, producing much good, even
though the rebel sympathizers around about
only renewed. their bitterness against the
writer. It was full of sound sense, and if
published in his new home, for the benefit of
the people of his newly adopted. State, would
have a proper influence in deciding the cam
paign now in progress there. So prominently
Union was Mr. Bennett, while residing in
Hagerstown, that on several occasions he was
compelled to leave his home at night to avoid
capture by th..e rebel forces. We commend.
Mr. Bennett to the confidence and. respect of
his new neighbors.

TETE PRESS.-Mr.LA.pELPHIA, MONDAY, SEITPITER 18, 1865:
General Nets' Reply to Montgomery Blair.
COMPLETE VINDICATION OF SEC/ISLANT
SEWED.
Ag a matter of official history,. ire print this
morning the letter of Quartermaster General
Moigs, a synopsis of which appeared in The
Press of Saturday:
WAsnimerox, 14th September, 1865.
The Tribune editorial of -the 12th inst. does
injustice bathe Secretary of State in the mat
ter of the Sumpter and Pickens expeditions.
A comparison of dates will prove this. The
'Tribune asserts that while Captain Fox was in
New York arranging the details of his expedi- -
Mon to Sumpter, an order was extracted from
the President, On the recommendation of Sec
retary Seward, detaching the Powilatan from
the Sumpter expedition and sending , her to
Fort Pickens ; that when President Lincoln
signed this order, at the instance of Mr.
Seward, he (the President) did not know that
It was to apply to the Powhatan, or that it
would In any way interfere with the expedi
tion under Captain Fox for the relief of Fort
Sumpter.
It also accuses Mr. Seward of intentional
concealment of this change both from the
President and froth Captain Fox, and refers to
the dates, evidence and official documents
printed with Mr. ioxls statement as making
out aprintafacie ettSe. The article is grossly
unjust to the Secretary of State, who deserves
the gratitude of the American people for his
share in these first operations against the
rebellion ; and as I find my name connected
with the transaction, and as I was familiar
with the inception of the Pickens , expedition,
it seems proper that I should call attention to
some of the facts in the ease. I read Mr.
Fox's statement in the New York Times of the
11th instant.
Captain Fox in his statement, says that on
March 30, the President sent him. to New York
with verbal directions to prepare for the
voyage to Sumpter,but to make no binding en
gagements. On April% not having received the
expected written authority, he returned to
Washington. On the 4th of April the President
sent for Min i arid informed him that he had
at length decided to let the expedition go.
He further *aysi that tile Secretary Of the
Navy had in commission only the Powhatan,
Pocahontas, and Pawnee, which he placed at
the disposal of Captain Fox, together with
the revenue-cutter Harriet Lane, and directed
him to give all the necessary orders.
" The - Pawhatan (he says), which had recent
ly returned and gone out of commission, was
added to the force I designated, to enable me
to have her five boats and crew for landin
the supplies. I suggested to the Secretary o f t
the Navy," ac.
observe the date. All this was on the 4th of
April, and Captain Fox arrived in New York
on the sth of April. All the orders printed in
the New York Times in relation to the Sumpter
expedition are dated on the 4th and atii. of
April, except the instructions from the Secre
tary of the Navy to Captain Mercer, of the
rowhateo, which, as there printed, are with
out date.
..... _
Now the President signed two orders; first,
on the Ist of' April, to Lieutenant Porter, one
directing him to "proceed to New York, and,
with the least possible delay,_ assume com
mend of any naval steamer available, proceed
to Pensacola harbor, and at any cost or risk
prevent any expedition from the main land
reaching Fort Pickens or Santa Rosa Island."
lie also instructed Lieutenant Porter to com
municate this order, his object and destina
tion, to no person whatever, until he reached
the harbor of Pensacola.
The other order of the same date was in
tended for exhibition to such officers as had
control of the vessels. It authorized him to
take command of tne steamer Powhatan, or
any other 'United States steainerready for sea,
which he might deem best fit for the service
which he had been assigned by confidential in
structions of the same date, Ist of April. See
the order itself in the Times of the llth of Sep
tember, 18e5. All this was three days before
the President informed Captain Fox that he
had decided to let the Sumpter expedition go,
and the official documents show, therefore,
that the Powhatan was not taken without the
knowledge of the President, since she was ta
ken under an order signed by him before he
authorized the Sumpter expedition, in which
order she,was expressly designated by name
for the Pickens expedition.
The orders of the President in relation to
the Powhatan, and to the whole Pickens ex
pedition, were not known to the Secretary of
the ran The success of the expedition to
relieve F Pickens depended upon secrecy.
Washington and New lork were full of per
sons ready to transmit the first intelligence of
such an intention. The telegraph was in opera
tion and open to the rebels as to the United
States, and had it become known that the ex
pedition was being prepared to relieve that
post the telegraph would have communicated
the Met to Bragg, who had several thousand.
men, and who could have taken Fort Pick:ens
by assault, on any night, at the Cost of a few
hundred men.
My first interview with the President and
the Secretary of State in relation to this mat
ter was on the evening of the nth of March.
The President did not inform me that he in
tended to attempt to. relieve Fort Sumpter,
but questioned me as to the possibility of
doing it. I advised in general terms that I
Could fled hint plenty of officers of the navy
willing to try it. He then asked MA whether I
thought Fort Pickens could be reinforced. I
replied that it could be, provided the re
lieving force reached there before it fell, and
with the maps before us' the mode of effect
ing this object was discussed. I advised that,
if the attempt was made, a fleet steamer,
under a young and enterprising officer, should
be despatched immediately, to run the batte
ries, enter the harbor, and pretent any ex
pedition of Bragg's crossing the harbor in
.boats to assault Fort Pickens. The President
said he would see me again if he concluded to
go further in the Matter. I quietl made in
quiries, and learned that the Powh y
atan. had
just returned from the East, and that she Was
in New York and able to go to sea. On the
morning of the 31st of March, I was again sum
moned and directed, in conjunction with Col.
Edwatel Keyes. and With the approval of Gen.
Scott, i
to prepare a project_
,for the relief of
Fort Pickens. The netruetions to Lieutenant
Porter were signed On the Ist of April, and
the President on that day signed, at my re
quest, a telegraphic despatch to New York,
direeting that the POwhatan be made ready
for sea instantly. This despatch, as we.
learned, reached the navy, yard only an
hour or two after the Powhatan had
been put out of commission, antU her spars
taken down and crew detached. Great exer-
tions were made to prepareffier for sea, but,
instead of sailing on the hi, as intended, she
did not leave until the 6th, by which time the
steamer Atlantic, with stores, supplies, and.
some seven hundred men, had also been made
ready and sailed the same day. Lieut. Porter,
as I understand, did not produce the order to
assume command of the POwhatan until the
last moment, as it was considered better not
to awake attention by changing the command
er until the vessel was about to sail. The or
ders in relation to the two expeditions were
communicated only to the officers engaged in
each. We were not advised of the prepara
tion fw the Sumpter expedition, and, at the
momeMt the Powhatan was ready for sea, the
sign manual of the President was produced,
and Captain Mercer, after some hesitation, in
consequence of conflicting orders front the
Navy Department, gave up the ship, The
positive order of the President, detaching
him, and placing Lieutenant Porter in com
mand, over-ruled the order of the Navy De
partment. The conflict was the result of Ihe
secrecy with which the whole business was
conducted; and to that secrecy, in a great mea
sure, was clue the relief of Fort Pickens, and
the retention of this finest harbor in the South
by the United Stag.
From this statement, and from a comparison
of the dates of the official orders, it will be
plain, I think, that the Secretary of State is
not liable to the charge of having de
ceived the President, or of having caused the
Powhatan to be diverted from the purpose to
which the President had assigned her, without
his knowledge. I myself suggested to the Pre
sident the name of the Powhatv.n, and of her
commander ; and prepared the orders in rela
tion to her movements for his Signature, and
this I did on the 31st March or Ist April, three
or four days before the Sumpter expedition
was resolved upon.
The Pickens expedition was planned and or
dered With the knowledge only qf the Presi
dent., the Secretary of State, Lieut. General
Scott, Col. E. D. Keyes and myself., When
Lieut. Porter was detailed to command the
naval portion of the expedition, its object was
communicated to him. When Colonel Harvey
Brown was assigned to command the troops,
Ins instructions made known to him its desti
nation. To none others, in or out of the expedi
tion; was its destination known until we were
nearly-in sight of the sand-hills of Pensacola.
In conclusion, permit me to remark that this,
the first successfuli military expedition of the
war, originated with Mr. Seward. Until it
sailed, the United States had declined every
where. Fortresses and harbors had been lost.
Ile carried me to the President, merely saying
that he thought the President ought to see
some of the younger officers, and not consult
only with men who, if war broke out, could
not mount a horse, When the President
struck out of the instructions prepared for
the commander of the expedition the autho
rity to declare martial law at Key West and
on the Gulf coast, Mr. SelYard induced him to
restore it. The authorities of Florida had,
in February, arrested and held Me to bail,
for defending the rights of the Yankee
fisherman of the Tortugas against the uncon
stitutional impositions of a Florida sheriff
The Secession flag flew over the court-house,
at Key West, within musket-shot of Fort
Taylor. But on the declaration of martial
law, which shortly followed our arrival in the
ulf, judges, sheriffs, clerks, and mayor fled
from Key West to the mainland, and the pre
sent loyal Provisional Governor of Florida
was elected mayor of Key West, and that im
portant post returned to its allegiance.
Some interference moth the later programme
of another expedition, it seems, arose from
the secrecy with which both were organized;
but the most important ports and fortresses'
in the Gulf—the harbors of Pensacola, Key
• West, and the Tortugas—were saved to the
United States, all well fortified; and the
fleets which would have been. necessary for
their reduction or blockade, were made
available at other points which had been
lost by supineness of the preceeding Adminis
tration, jyen if the vietuidling of Fort Sump
ter was thus prevented, the United States
still, at Fort Sumpter, asserted its desire and
determination to possess that fortress, which
could not then have held out long against the
batteries by which the rebels had been already
permitted to encircle it; and who will assert
that a few days' provisions more or less in
Sumpter could compare in importance with
the retention of the well-fortified harbors of
Pensacola and the Florida reef?
. . _
Secrecy has its inconveniences, but upon per
fect secrecy depended these gyeat etaken; and
so well kept was the secret, that in the return
ing steamer Atlantic I brought back to New'
York at once the news of the destination and'
of the success of the expedition.

BRITISH CAPITALISTS.
THE FAITH THEY HAVE IN NORTHERN
.RAILROADS.
HOW MUCH CAPITAL THEY HAVE
INVESTED IN THEM.
[From Harpers , Weekly.
A party of British capitalists and railway
men, comprising Sir Morton Peto, Mr. Kin
nairl Engineer Kennard, James 'McHenry,
and eighteen others, nearly as well known in
finanCial and industrial circles, arrived here a
fortnight since, and have been improving the
time by inspecting our great broad-gauge line,
consisting of the Erie Railway, from New
York to Salamanca, the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway from Salamanca to Cincin
nati, and the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad,
from Cincinnati to St. Louie—a line of road
which, though trammelled by the vices of its
early construction, and impaired in its useful
ness by the want of a consolidated manage,
ment and a large and sound administration, is
still, in view of the extent and fruitfulness of
the country it traverses, the great cities it
feeds, and the almost incalculaele volume of
traffic it must at no distant day prepare to ac
commodate, by far the greatest railroad in the
world.
It is well understood that the first object of
these Englishmen is to inspect the Atlantic
and Great Western Railway, which is eadU
sively.owned by them and their constituents.
That important line has been built since the
panic of 1857—which ' effectually stopped rail
way building else Where—with British and
Spanish capital. The Queen Mother of Spain,
the Spanish Duke of Itianzares, and the Span
ish banker Salamanca, have been interested in
the enterprise from the beginning, and have
supplied means freely. But the greater part
of the money required to build this road came
from London, and was contributed, not unfre
quently, in our very darkest days ; at times
when every mail from the United States bore
tidings of ?allure and repudiation ; at times of
monetary stringency and panic; at times when
rebellion seemed to threaten the veryexistence
of the nation, and to forbade the ruin of the
Government and of every corporate institu
tion which lived under its laws. In those
dark, dark days, when every prudent Ameri
eau capitalist held his money tight under lock
and key, and would not invest a dollar in the
fairest-looking enterprise, these Spaniards and
these Englishmen, for month after month,
and year after year, paid the weekly bills of
the workmen laboting on the Atlantic and
Great Western without a murmur, and, if they
made a complaint, complained only that the
bills were not heavier, the workmen not more
numerous, and the great enterprise not nearer
completion. Such a robust faith, such a
dogged perseverance commend themselves to
the applause of an enlightened mercantile
community, and deserve the reward which the
twenty-two English visitors- now among us
have come to forecast.
But it would be a mistake to suppose that so
large and influential a delegation from the
fraternity of London capitalists and railway
men have come here merely to look over the
particular property - on which so much English
money has been expended. It has rightly
been conjectured that their visit has a wider
purpose. Tlfe war, which has taught English
men more about the United States than *est
ever knew before, has quickened the entire
hension of British capitalist to opportunities
for the lucrative investment of capital in the
United States. There are in England thou
sands of men who live on the interest of in
herited or acquired capital, and to whom an
increase of oven one per cent. in the rate of
interest on their capital, with equal security,
would be of vast importance. These men
are generally receiving, on the average,
four per cent. per annum. The owner
of £20,000 gets £l3OO a year g the owner
of Vie,oue, £2,04A of ,RlOO,OOO, .£4,000 a year. Vague
rumors nave lately reached the ear of this
class of men to the effect that by investing in
the United States instead of Great Britain
they can get six if not seven, per cent.for their
money. If they got six, the £20,000 man would
receive an income of £1 200 instead of £BOO4 the
£50,000 man an income o 1 £3,000 instead at £2,000 ;
the £lOO,OOO man an income of £6,000 instead of
14,000. The increase would convert bare ex
istence into comfort; mere comfort into afflu
ence. The only question among these men is,
whether American investments offer, with in
creased income, equal security with British
investments. That question the twenty-two
Englishmen now travelling over our railroads
are preparing to answer.
If they shall find 'that, on the whole, the
prospects of business in the United States
ring the next half century are as protnising as
those of business in England—that population
is likely to increase here as rapidly as there—
that industry and internal commerce are be
ing developed as rapidly kere as there—that
the standard of honor is as high here as there,
and there is as little chance of our older com
munities repudiating their debts or engaging
in senseless wars as of England doing the like
—that the general tendency of society in the
United States, as in England, is toward im
provement, and toward the development as
well of physical resources as of moral nature
—if, we say, these twenty-two Englishmen
shall find these things to be. so, they have no
choice but to go back. to England and tell their
constituents to send us their money.
The prospect is of consequence to our rail
road interest. Of $1,100,000,000 invested in rail
roads in the Northern States (it is noteworthy
that Europeans never would bey bonds or
stock in railroads in Southern States), Europe
ans already hold at least $150,000,00e. They own
the bonds and a largeproportlon of the stock in
the Illinois Central,a line the like of which does
not exist in all Eurepe, They own a large
proportion of the bonds and half the stock of
the Erie Railway. "They own all the bonds
and stock of the Atlantic and Great Western.
They, own .most of the bonds of the Fort
Wayne and Chicago, of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral, of the Milwaukee and Prairie du (Mien,
of the Michigan Central, and of Other Western
roads. They own nearly all the Panama Road,
stock and bonds. If, in addition tcsrthe above,
fifty million pounds sterling or more—and, as
we are led to believe, a sum even larger than
this will be influenced by the report of our
English VialtOra—should seek investment in
Our railway
. securities, quite striking results
would ensue in our markets.
There is a marked difference between Euro.
peen investment and American investment.
It has been said of us by a caustic observer
that there does not live an American who
would not sell his homestead for five :per cent.
advance on its cost. False as this quip is, it is
undoubted that we are au ever-trading people,
and that, in or out of business, men are gene
rally ready to exchange their most permanent
investments 'when a profit offers. The Eng
lish are not so. When they make an invest
ment, they mean it. If the market value of
the investment rises, they do not sell, as we
should do, but hold the more firmly, and
rather increase than diminish their interest.
This difference led, a few months since, to an
amusing imbroglio on our stock exchange.
It became known that Illinois Central was
wanted in England, and that considerable par
cels of the stock - were going out by each steam
%r. On this a speculation was started in our
markets, and the price of the stock rose ten to
fifteen per. cent. Mlle of our foreign bankers
wise in their day and generation, and well!
versed in the tradecalled in German arbitration
sold Illinois Central here on long options, and
sent to London tobuy the stock. They argued
that the advance in our market being the fruit
of mere local speculation, the price abread
would not advance in proportion, aridthatthey
would be able to cover their contracts at a
handsome profit. To their astonishment their
London agents reported that, though certainly
large quantities of Illinois Central had arrived
in England by recent steamers, there was little
or none for sale. The people who had ordered
it wanted to keep it. They had bought for in
vestment. It was not their purpose to sell out
..again even tit a profit. So, after creating quite
a flurry in the London and Amsterdam mar
kets, in the vain endeavor to buy large quanti
ties of stock, these New York bankers were
forced to buy back the stock they had sold ; in
the same market in which they had sold it,
at a loss which we dare say they can remember
without recourse to their books. The stock
rose thirty per cent. in sixty days.
Now if any of our country readers, meth
tating on these facts, should come to the con,
elusion that out sweet friends in England,
who would not touch five.twenties at 35WD,
now intend to buy our railway securities at
the market price, and should, on the strength
of this conclusion, proceed to speculate for
the rise in these securities on borrowed capi
tal, let them not blame ug if they lose their
time and their money. For Wall street is
thick with quicksands, and each of them is
girt around with the whitened bones of de
funct country speculators. There are gaping
for the unwary speculator a thousand pitfalls
which wisdom and shrewdness cannot always
foresee; defalcations, over-issues of stock,
sudden attacks of colic in the midriff of the
money market, unexpected failures of great
houses,
amazing changes of policy by the
Treasury department. All these portend ruin
to him who speculates on borrowed capital.
Your theory may be sound, and yout opinion
of the course of events correct; but the end
will not come when expected, and for you to
whom its coming at this or that given time is
essential, it will never come at all.

STATE ITEMS.
—The Dispatch gives the figures to show the
great increase jh business in Erie during the
peat year. R adVs l it For the year ending Sept,
12,1864, theramere exported from Erie 4,065,031
feet of lumber, and not one foot imported.
For the year ending Sept. 12, 1865, there were
imported 5,020,708 feet of lumber—malting a
gain in reality of 9,085,735 feet; for we mane•
factured and would have exported a surplus
of at least equal to the export of 1861 had it
not been used here. That is, the amount of
lumber used for.building purposes in North
western Pennsylvania was in the year ending
September 12th, 1805, 9,085,739 feet more than in
any previous year, and if we add to this the
amount brought in from other sources than
the port of Erie, and the extra amount manu
factured in the oil country, it would swell this
amount by several millions of feet. The im
port of iron ore has nearly doubled, the im
port of shingles has increased about 1,250,000,
salt ditto, and everything else in proportion,
while many articles are now imported to a
large extent which were never before called
for here. With such immense results—most
of which have lieen gained during the past six
months—the prospect for Erie is confessedly
a most favorable one.n
A correspondent writes.as follows: Corry
is situated at the junction of the Philadelphia
and Erie, and the Atlantic and Great Western
Railroads—the Oil City Railroad also has its
terminus here. Corry is still in the woods,
Some of the buildings are mere shanties or
temporary concerns. There are, however, a
few fine residences. 'noticed also, as we passed
along, a church, and large oil works. There
are several hotels, but they are rather small; a
large one is going up. A depot ...is also in pro-
cess of construction.
The route, designed to make almost a di-
rect line from Corry to Buffalo, and obviate the
necessity of travelling via Erie to the oil re
gions, is being surveyed, and the new line will
soon be determined, lOutes are being sur
veyed from Mayville to Corry, and from Corry
to Westfield, west of Chautauqua Creek, and
from Mayville to Brockton, and Mayville to
Westfield. There is little, if any doubt of the
line being constructed, and it will, 411 a great
measure, relieve the pressure of railroad tra
velling via Erie.

THE ADVANTAGES Or THE "
This splendid machine makes four different
stitches, each stitch being the same on both
side* of the fabric it also has the reversible
feed motion, which enables the operator, sim
ply by turning a thumb-screw, to run the work
either to the right or to the left. Families who
have used this' machine, after trying others,
give it a decided preference over all its rivals.
It is constructed in the neatest, most durable,
and simple manner,:and rarely, if ever, gets
out of order. Visitors to the city who have
not seen this wonderful machine should call
at the Philadelphia agency, No. SSD Chestnut
street, and examine it.
WHEELER & WILSON'S SEWING MACHINES.—
The highest compliment that could'be paid to
the wheeler 86 Wilson Sewing Maeltines,is the
fact that over 200 2 000 of them have been sold, of
which 7,000 have been sold in this city alone.
Their reputation is world-wide, and every fa
mily not yet supplied with one of these instru
ments should go to 704 Chestnut Street, and
order one at once.

improved' Pattern Shirt," made by John C.
Arrison, at the old stand, Hos. 1 and 3 North

A CLEAR COMPLEXION AND A HEALTHY SKIN
can never be obtained while the pores of the
skiri b are obstructed, or the blood is in an im•
pure condition. Dr. Jayne's Alterative will,
however, restore the purity of the skin, and
will thoroughly cleanse the blood ; it will also
remove the obstinate state Of the pores, and
free the prespiration from all impurities and
gross particles. A trial will establish its eftl
