THE WORK. BEFORE THE NATIONAL UNION PARTY-WORDS OF CANDOR AND OF corms-rm. Men who have acted together in the greatest civil war of modern times, and have crushed the most 'formidable rebel lion ever organized to destroy a free Go vernment, are not united by ordinary ties. The bond that connects and consolidates them is composed of enduring material, and cannot be weakened or severed by common trials or differences of opinion. They learned how to trust and to love each other when confidence and affection were essential to their own safety and the sue-. cess of the cause for which they labored and suffered. Hundreds of thousands first knew each other in the dangers and privations of the battle-field, and a yet larger number were taught the virtue of concert of sentiment and of action in the civil organizations for the support of their brave brothers who were engaged on the bloody theatre of war. Friendships formed under such circum stances will last through long and pleasant years almost beyond the grave. The mere recollections of com mon dangers and common sufferings will be the invincible chain of undoubting .devotion of the one to the other. But there is another motive for the continuance of this noble brotherhood. Apart from the glorious memories that stir their own hearts and make their country - proud to honor them, is the solemn invocation that upon them, and upon harmony in the ranks of those who have co-operated with them, will depend the future grandeur, entirety, and strength of the Republic. Their mighty work is not, therefore, done. Combined with their patriotic fellow-citi zens, they must see that what they saved should not be again endangered; that what they rescued• shall be preserved. ;Should the full force of these paramount truths not be realized, the rebellion will have been crushed almost in vain. The banished and baffled traitors will resume the ascendancy they forfeited, and the mission of a redeemed and purified republic defeated and turned into inconceivable failure and shame. It is in view of the unspeakable obligation that rests upon all of us, to prevent any such catastrophe, that we propose some words of candor to those who may be called the custodians of the common liber ties, and the guardians of the hopes and interests of the American people. It is madness to attempt to conduct a party upon the traditions of obsolete or ganisations, or to shape it by former pledges or platforms, or to insist that no thing shall be yielded to secure the triumph to those who agree upon substantive and definite truths and objects. We are in a novel epoch. We have escaped a rebellion, but are in the midst of a revolution. A war that struck into the grave a crime century-crowned and strong, and launch ed into light and liberty more than four millions of human beings, also, killed much of the slavery of party in cluding all manner of sectionalism, and gave birth to an aggressive, athletic, and unsleeping spirit of national progress. There are classes of dangerous politicians in this country to-day who understand these truths, and fear that they may be realized and acted upon by the National Union party ; for upon the harmonious existence of that party depend, as we have said and believe, the harmony of our re deemed States, the successful development of the wealth of this western world, and the substantial reorganization of our whole re publican system. If that party can be dis turbed, dislocated, or in any manner di vided and weakened, to that extent the re actionary or rebellious elements will be en couraged, and the great work of restoration defeated or fatally delayed. To provide against such a calamity will demand the most patriotic, unselfish, and comprehen sive policy on the part of the lead ing men of the National Union organi zation. The old Democratic leaders, anxious to secure the possession of the Go vernment which their counsels had almost destroyed, and deluded by the hope that because they sympathized with the rebel lion they can create a party out of the wreck of the rebellion and the remains of their former organization in the adhering states, are elated by the expectation that these same leading men cannot agree on fundamental principles, and that the war having ended, each will revert to his own special ideas, and refuse to yield any thing for the sake of securing a common triumph and perpetuating a homogenous and sincere organization. That this ma lignant hope will he fulfilled, is to suppose that unselfish patriotism expired at the mo ment our public leaders were called to as sist in gathering the harvest of their sub lime workmanship. The materials for the base, the super structure, the solid walls, and the crown ing canopy of a great National ITIOn party are, we conceive, to be found in the following plain propositions : 4 I. Thafthe rebellion neither destroyed the Republic nor the States of which it is composed. IL That slavery having provoked and hastened and fought for the rebellion, it was forfeited by the first gun fired by treason, was de6troyed by the destruction of the rebel armies, and was buried in the same grave with the rebellion itself. 111. That the four millions of human Leings made free by the success of the Union arms must be protected in their .efforts to labor for and to elevate and, to instruct themselves; and that the Go veinment should adopt such a policy e as will forever prevent them from being made the victims of the cruelty of their former masters. IV. That to pay the national- debt, prin cipal and interest, is an obligation as sacred and as binding as the covenant to maintain the Union and die obedience we owe to God. V. That not one farthing of the debt in_ curred to begin and to prosecute the rebel lion should ever be recognized by the Go vernment or the people of the United States, or regarded save as a monument of the fa tal delusion and unspeakable retribution of the men who took arms against their bene factor and friend. VI. That none of the authors and leaders of the rebellion should ever be admitted to places of trust or honor under the General Government. VII. That henceforward the energies of the people of the restored Union should be devoted to the development of the natural resources of the whole country, to the pro tection of the domestic industries - and manufactures, and to the perfection of those great connecting overland thoroughfares by which all sections and States are brought and bound together, and the whole fabric of American freedom woven into one inde structible and inviolable Constitution and Government, These general principles contain the spe cific remedies for all immediate evils. It is impossible to frame a code to meet every belief, or to afford a panacea for every disease. These general principles will promote an enduring nationality. The Union party cannot be a national party if it makes negro suffrage a test. Belonging, as that subject does, to the States, it must be left to the States. To attempt to force it on the South is simply to embitter the South, and to endanger the Union party in the North ; for it must not be forgotten that until the rebellion broke upon us, in not a single free State, not even in Massachusetts, were the few colored men allowed the un qualified right to vote. Nor can you build a national party by making the confisca tion of rebel estates on the plan of Mr. STEvENS an issue or a condition. Con fiscation is confessedly a war measure, and yet as it was only partially enforced in time of war, how do you propose to exer cute it in time of peace ? Nor can you stand before your own people on the idea of keeping the late insurgent States out of the Union, when they ask readmission accepting and adopting all the changes pro duced by the legislation of Congress and the abolition of slavery. You may keep the individual traitors out forever, if you have the numerical power, but you will be defeated in nearly every free election district on the question of ex cluding the late rebel States with their purified Constitutions. When the Cop perheads try to make capital against courts-martial, "arbitrary arrest's," mili tary executions, and the suspension of tye writ of habeas corpus, why do they fail ? Because, and only because, they try to make head against what was a temporary anti a justified necessity—a necessity exist ing only during the war, and ending with the end of the war and its inevitable conse quences. Let the National Union party beware of falling into an error which has been so fearfully avenged upon the Copper heads. Standing closely upon these general yet definite principles, and refusing to be tempted into what may be termed experimental or temporary ex pedients, the Union party will become a solid national party. Now is the time to be forearmed against evanescent or local dogmas or tests. For a time, Anti-masonry swept counties and States 'in the' fury of its hostility to secret societies. For a time, Know-Nothingism swept counties and States before the fury or its fanaticism in favor of secret societies. Based, let us ad mit, upon good motives, neither of these paroxysms is remembered with pleasure, or quoted as an example fit to be imitated. Now hatred of slavery is a religion, and cannot die in the minds of honest men ; and yet, when slavery perishes, why keep alive the memory of a resentment, which only keeps alive the passions of the dead rebellion and the reconciled civil war ? What the Union party should aim at is to carry the elections in the South, as well as in the North. It is the labor and the prayer of the sympathiging Democracy that this may never be. Shall they succeed ? Shall the brains, the courage, the unity, the utter ' absence of selfishness, and the marvellous, skill and genius that startled all the nations, and destroyed slavery and treason, be found absent or useless when the great work of holding and governing the coun try, after it has been saved ftom death, comes to be discharged Are the petty passions, the party hates, the personal envies, the narrow neighborhood dogmas, so nobly set aside during all the years of war as to be almost forgotten by men who had become accus tomed to mighty deeds, to be recalled in all their littleness now, as if to disgrace, dwarf, and damn the mission that courts our championship and control? Be sure ! If the great National Union parly fails in this duty, others will not. The New York Democrats saw their chance hi the conscious argument here plainly and palpably presented. All co vered with the mire and the shame of com plicity with the rebellion, they brushed themselves clean of that disgrace, and peni tentially, yet with. infinite effrontery, assert ed the doctrines against which they have been most bitterly contending. We have nothing to regret, nothing to ask par don fbr, and nothing to give up, (but what, in due course of time, we must yield in the face of defeat if we persist in them) that we cannot honorably yield to become masters of the future as we are of the present. It is for ourselves to de cide, whether having won the strong pla teau of liberty, having passed the dead point of danger, having planted our flag on the outer, as well as the higher walls, we shall begin to quarrel among ourselves over dead records, or living impracticabilities, and make way for an easy surrender to those who are now our captives or our hostages. A RECENT number of the Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligence?' advocates .protection as a ne cessity of the South as well as the North. It contends that industy needs and deserves such fostering care, and that the mineral wealth hidden in the mountains of Georgia requires the same attention as that buried beneath the soil of Pennsylvania. This is another result of the emancipation of the blacks, and is a consequence as logical as it is immediate. Cotton is no longer king; even in the sea islands, and the laborer is a freeman; therefore his industry must be diversified andhis rights and necessities recognized. The planter of the South used all his political influence in favor of free trade, but the moment the plantation is divided into farms he learns the advan tages of the decried system, and the mere distant prospect of the institution of manu factories, foundries and thrnaces on his own soil converts him into a protectionist. We thus see how true it is that a country exporting raw cotton and cultivating slave men, has interests radically differing from and antagonistic to those of a country where the laborers are educated and tree, and the industry diversified and enlight ened—a difference that will. soon be de stroyed, we trust, forever, in. America. THE ,PRESS.=-4 1 1111 4 Amplu A., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER SO, 1565: BRITISH ROLL•CALL Or IMIHONOB. Lending money, said a wisiOmm, is an unOstentatieus .wa y of making a present This is a fact which the English'holders of stock in the "so-called Confedeiate" loan are about realizing. They have held a public meeting, in London, at which it was suggested that the United States should pay off the rebel debt; but the idea was laughed at, and the meeting was adjourned to the 18th of October, when the subject is to be Ventilated again. Of course, they know as all the world knows, that the United States will never pay one cent of the rebel loan. • We have been curious, all along, to know who were the foolish folks in England who lent that money. That curiosity was grati fied by the publication, yesterday, of the manes of some of the dupes whose sym pathy with slavery induced them to open their purses and lend money to the slave holding rebels. That especial ninny, the Lancashire baronet, bight Sir HENRY HOUGHTON DE HOUGHTON, has suffered to the extent of $900,000. The young Mar quis of Bath has lost $250,000. A brace of army contractors and shipowners have sunk $1,450,000 in that slough of despond —but had probably netted thrice as much by trading (sending supplies and running the blockade) with the South. Baron WIIARNCLIFFE, a member of the House of Lords, put in $25,000. Lords CAMPBELL and DONOUGHMORE, who used to speak boldly for the rebels in their place in Parliament, ventured only $5,000 each. Several mem bers of the House of Commons, who were violent rebel partisans, were also " stuck " by the rebel loan. Mr. LAIRD, of Birken head, who built the Alabama, put in $100,000; but Messrs. PEAcocx and GRE GORY, who used to heartily berate the Union Government, each ventured only a fifth of that amount. For the rest, bankers, capitalists, doctors, lawyers, stock-brokers, and one titled old lady, gallantly risked their money, and—will lose it. Well, it was only a bit of gambling ; the speculators paid about fifty-three dollars for every one hundred-dollar note of rebel stock, and if it had reached par, every one of them would have nearly doubled their venture. The fine old oaks which surround Houghton Tower will have to be thinned, we suspect, to bring back the nine hundred thousand dol lars, the foolish HOUGHTON DE HOUGHTON, Baronet, has lost. By the published list, it appears that thirty-eight persons in England invested £898,000 in the Rebel loan. This is close upon $4,500,000, and is probably fully two thirds of all the money so appropriated by the English people. No doubt, those who invested small sums did so, like SYDNEY SMITH, twenty-five years ago, in the plea sant hope of receiving ten instead of three per cent. interest upon their money. They knew no better, and may be pitied, but the noble lords, the semi-noble baronets, the right-honorablcs, the honorables, the hank ers, merchants, and other great folks who risked their funds, to sustain a most unholy cause, merit no pity, and ought not re ceive any. Several newspaper men went largely into this loan. Mr. JAMES SPENCE, the well-known anti. Union Liverpool agent for the South, and special correspondent of The Times, put down $250,000. Mr. BEREsPORD }TOPE, proprietor of the Satur day _Review, has _ sank $200,000, Mr. SAMPSON, who writes the money articles in The Times, spoitecl - $75,000. Mr. DELANE (originally one of the Delany family of Cork) ventured only $50,000, and a Mr. RIDOUT, of the Horning Post, Lord PAL MERSTON'S oigan, modestly risked $20,000. So, all the time that The Times, Morn ing Post, and Saturday Review, seemed to -be writing the Union down and writ ing rebellion up, they really were using and abusing the great power of the press for their own mean and selfish purposes. For the credit of our craft we lament this. Lastly, for all things must conclude, the list closes with the names of the Honorable Mr. ASHLEY and the Right Honorable W. E. GLADSTONE; the first for $2,500, the other for sio,ooo. AsriLEY, who is private secretary to Lord PALMERSTON, his grand step-father, is son of Lord SITAFTES_ BURY,- the pious, who has long been -a great anti-slavery spokesman. GLADSTONE, Chancellor of the Exchequer, is a Cabinet Minister. Here we have the Premier's near relative, - who is also his private secre tary, giving five hundred pounds sterling to the Confederate loan, and Mr, GLAD STONE, the man of the time, investing four times that amount ! No wonder that GLAD STONE puffed off Mr, JEFFERSON DAVIS as a man who had founded an empire (he holds his .court in Fortress Monroe of late), and made his infamous Newcastle speech against our Union. He was oratorical in order that his two thousand pounds in Con federate stock might fructify. WHEN WASHINGTON resigned his com mand of the army, which he had conducted .through a long and sanguinary struggle to ultimate victory, and retired to the enjoy ments of that peaceful country life that he so coveted, or, as he himself expressed it, again " became a private citizen on the banks of the Potomac," he instantly and conscientiously resumed all the duties of the position. The internal improvement of the country, and especially the prosecution of all methods by which intercourse and trade could be facilitated, were the particu lar objects of his attention. To his clear and practical mind, the WeSt was, even at that early day, of vital importance, and he prepared a luminous exposition of the ad vantages to be derived by _strengthening the bonds of connection between that sec tion and the Eastern States. With this aim, and the kindred purpose of studying the condition of agriculture, WASHINGTON travelled considerably through the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia ; but the general interest did not prevent his laboring for the especial detail lying nearest his own home. The improvement of the navigation 'of the James and Potomac rivers was re -1 garded by him as a matter of great moment, and he zealously advocated the employment of all the means conducing to such a result. Eighty years have elapsed between that time and the present, yet it is curious to I note how close a resemblance there exists I' between the duty incumbent upon the dis banded army, of our recent war and that of the earlier epoch, and it is instructive to see how admirably and wisely the intelligent patriotism of Wasnixo.rox recognized the paramount duty of the peaceful citizen and the promptitude with which his conviction resulted in action. FROM the very earliest discovery of Vir ginia it has been known that she possessed great mineral wealth. Mining of different kinds has been attempted from time to time, but never very successfully, for the reason that the whole spirit of the commu nity has heretofore been unpropitious to the energetic prosecution of such labors by the inhabitants themselves, while popular senti ment offered all possible obstacles to,. the introduction of either capital or labor from the free States. The prejudices of the peo ple were arrayed in hostility to Northern enterprise, and the few that ventured upon the undertaking were either branded as Abolitionists or dreaded as innovators. All attempts from without were thus opposed by the antipathies and prejudices of the people; all enterprise from within hindered by the inefficiency of slave labor, and the general want of that vigorous and concerted action and that 'wondrous impulse that drives a free and intelligent community unto all the multiform exertions of inven tion and discovery. A party of Northern capitalists holding coal lands on the James river, have already applied to the Freedman's Bureau for a thOUSand workmen, to labor in the mines at wages; and if this venture is successful, it may be followed by many others of a similar character. Under the recent im pulse, there have been many investigations into the nature of the mineral products of Virginia, and it is asserted that the State contains gold, silver, iron, copper, platinum, cobalt, galena, cinnabar, tellurium, lead, plumbago, tin, coal, roofing slate, gypsum, limestone, soapstone, etc. Such a wealth beneath her surface ought soon to prod.uce a return.. that would canoe/ all her debts, destroy all her mortgages, obliterate all the vestiges of the ruin incident upon the war, and plate her in a position to enter into competition with those happier sister States, that long since freed themselves from the depressing and degrading influences of sla very. THE STARS AND STRIPES sailing this week from Philadelphia for Havana, is the first of a line of steamships to be established between the two ports. Regular and early communication with this leading maritime city of the West Indies, will offer great fa cilities to an important branch of trade, and will further many of the interests of Phila delphia. Our city unites in its position grand elements of wealth. As an inland town it has close connection with all parts of the country, and is the centre of a vast agricultural and manufacturing district, while its station on the banks of the broad, deep Delaware gives it all the advantages of a sea-board position. Many nations and cities have attained great wealth by engaging in a mere carrying trade between manufac turing and agricultural countries, without participating in those pursuits themselves, except to a very limited extent; but when a city is so wonderfully blessed with the means and opportunities of aegbiring - wealth in such a variety of directions as is the good fortune of Philadelphia, it is only negligence and inertness in the inhabitants that can prevent it from becoming exceedingly afflu ent. A CORRESPONDENT from Decatur, Ala bama, states that there is a very fair op portunity in that vicinity for the investment of Northern capital, as well as the immi gration of Northern laborer& A large pro portion of the cotton land has been lying fallow for two 4 , ears, and is in excellent condition for cultivation ; negro labor is plentiful and cheap, and many of the plan ters are anxious to lease or sell their lands. From careful observation the writer has arrived at the following statement of ex penses : The total cost of cultivating one hundred acres in cotton, including rent of land, hire of labor, purchase of mules, etc., would not reach more than from $2,000 to $2,500. An average yield exceeds 250 pounds to the acre, or over fifty bales, of 500 pounds each, to the 100 acres; worth, at 20 cents per pound, $5,000, leaving a net profit of $2,500 to $3,000, in addition to.the mules and implements. "Tny wxsg. was fathei, Hazy, to that thought," has a new application to that most potent oracle, the ~ London Times; for the names of two of its editors appear in the published list of English speculators who have been involved in the losses at tendant upon the sudden depreciation of the Confederate loan. Other names in the list leave it a question open to debate whether the investments were made in confirmation of a belief 14 our ultimate overthrow, or whether the prognostica tions of our defeat were intended •to raise the price of the Rebel bond& Trim general character of the political views of the people of Colorado, who re cently adopted the new State constitution and. simultaneously voted against negro suffrage, is thus described by the Black Hawk (Colorado) Mining 10269 . 2ica : "The voluntary preference of the request, by Colorado, that she may be permitted to enter the august family Of States, whose des• tiny is to redeem a world, politically, will be of inestimable advantage to her, in various ways, which the future will so plainly unfold that the dullest of those who have refused to See the point," will be obliged to admit it. With regard to the probable action of Congress on our admission, we do not believe it will be unfavorable. True, we have rejected noon° SUFFRAGE by an almost unanimous vote • and our action of last year, in refusing the en abling act of Congress, created the im pression In the East - Gnat we are a set of guerillas and Southern sympathizers. -But our record in the war for the Union is as bright as that of any State or Territory. We have not only protected ourselves—we have saved, or rather re-conquered, New Mexico. We have aided in thepreservation of mlesonri anti Kan• sas to the 'Union. We have furnished, by volunteering, more than our quota of troops under all the 'CALLS of the late war. At the last general election, when party politics was a direct issue, the Union party carried the Territory almost two to one. We believe that party still has a vast 'majority, and always will have. As friends of our admission into the Union, we believe we may safely count on the President, whose settled opinion is that the Stores atone have the constitutionai authority to prescribe the qualifications of voters. We may count on all so-called Democrats. We may count on the Conservative Republicans. We may count somewhat on the necessities, if We May so term it, of both parties—the Pro gressive and the Reactionary." HON. OSWALD THOMPSON. It is a matter of general congratulation that this eminent' jurist, after an indisposi tion of some mouths, has reappeared on the bench which he has long adorned by learning, impartiality, courage and cour tesy. We are happy to say that he seems to be in the enjoyment of excellent health. MELTING OF LOYAL PENNSYLVA• IUANS IN WASHINGTON. ADJOURNMENT UNTIL MONDAY EVENING NEXT. A meeting of loyal Pennsylvanians was held last evening, at half-past 7 o'clock, in the Union League building, on Ninth street. Vice President Colonel Francis Jordan, Pennsylvania State Agent, tilled the chair, the President being absent. The President called the meeting to order, after which the Secretary, Joseph M. Wilson, proceeded to read the minutes of the last meeting. Mr. Welsh, chairman of COMMitteent Trans portation, reported he had seen the presidents of the different railroads in Pennsylvania, and thought they can make arrangements to get home as they did last year. lie also dropped a letter, in Baltimore city, to the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, but bad not heard from him yet. The otne,ers of the railroad companies generally seemed anxious to get the men home as cheap as pos sible, as they thought this election would be of more importance_ than the last. General Ekin, chairman Committee onLeare. of Absence, stated that he had addressed a communication to each of the Cabinet, and re ceived an answer from Hon. Secretary Harlan, stating that they could have from the 2d until the 12th. lie expreSSed a wish for all of the loyal Pennsylvanians to go home and squash all of the Copperheads so deep that they could not be reached on the day of the resurrection. [Great applause.] A vote of thanks to lion. secretary Harlan was here ten dered. The committees appointed at the last meet ing to visit the different camps reported, but said, finding that many of the men had not been assessed, they could not report very sa tisfactorily g therefore, a new committee was appointed to visit the different regiments in the department, all Government shops and the artments. One of the committee had waited on Cap tain Allen, and found Pennsylvania men in his employ ; he also informed the committee of many other men who were not under hint. Any time the committee would call on him it would be a pleasure to him to accompany them, and to assist them in any way in his power. The committee that visited the navy-yard and arsenal reported very few Pennsylvania men there. On motion, the meeting adjourned to Mon day night next. —Washington Chronicle of yester day. Rebel Naval Officers Not to Lose their Rights of Citizenship.

They became liable to suffer the pains and penalties which the law inflicts upon-convicted traitors, but I am not aware that forfeiture of citizenship is one of those pains and penalties. Belonging, as they do, according to the state ment in your letter, to certain classes of trai tors who have not been pardoned by the Presi dent, they are liable at any time to be tried, convicted, and punished for their treason. Their conduct and associations also impressed upon them the qualified character of enemies,, but did not destroy their inherent character as citizens, which, by birth or otherwise, they acquired.

MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY IN SAVANNAH—TWO COLORED MEN SHOT.—A police oftleer informed us at two o'clock - this morning that two colored men, in the 'vicinity of Bast Broad street, were shot by a party of Cavalrymen, al.out twelve o'clock last night. One of the victims was conveyed In a wagon to his aencuin Broughton street in a dying condi tion, The bullet passed through his body, indicting a fearful wound just below the left lung.

The iletails of an atrocious system of rob bery by-which our soldiers; on their way from Hart's Island* to this city, are 'stupefied with poisonous drinks, and then swindled under Various pretexts, have just come to light. The outlines of the plan ate substantially as follows.: Steamboats are chartered make excur sions in the harbor; soldiers who have just been paid off are induced to take passage to the city; when on board they are carried about the harbor and amused, while drugged or stupefying liquors are sold to them, and ruffians sell them spurious jewelry or other worthless articles, and by false representa tions, and sometimes by threats, succeed in robbing them of a large part of their wages. The soldiers are, in many cases, paid on Hart's Island, from one hundred to four or five hun dred dollars each on final settlement, and the gains of the persons who swindle them are proportionally large. There were some very singular occurrences on board the steamboat Massasoit on Monday of lust week. Three hundred soldiers of the 2Stli. United States Colored Infantry who em. barked at Hart Island, .were not landed as they desired, but were conveyed to various places in the harbor ; were sickened with vile drinks, and thieves operated freely among them. Finally, the commander Of the soldiers, Colonel Gurnsey, found it necessary to putthe captain' of the boat, McLean, under arrest; and in consequence of this ct the soldiers were not robbed to the extent, the officers be lieve, they would otherwise have been. Colonel Browne, the United States paymas ter, who bad paid the colored soldiers four hundred dollars each, was on the steamboat. He had forty thousand dollars in Government funds in his possession; and information was given to him that some of the ruffians on hoard were making plans to seise the money. For two hours and a half he , held his loaded pistol in his hand, and he was not molested. It was by his advice that Captain McLane was compelled to place the colored soldiers on shore at Peck Slip. Colonel Gurnsey and one of his officers have since been arrested for constructive assault and battery upon the captain of the boat, and the suit will soon come before the courts. - - - Jackson S.

THE "FLOREHOE" TniumsnAsim.—Why the "Florence" is superior to all other &tang Machines; Compare, reflect, then purchase: First. Its reversible feed, leading either to the right or left ; its perfect reliability, never skipping cliches, and the making of four dif ferent stitches for the various kinge of work. Second. It is almost noiselese; runs veryfast; the change of the feed and stitch is made whilst the machine is in motion. Third. It makes the look-stitch;which has been considered heretofore the best in use. We add to that the "double lock," which makes it doubly sure ; the, half and full knot stitches being a perfect knot to every stitch, which is more durable than can be mile by any other machine, or by hand, and in au cases leaving the stitches on both sides of the work alike. The feed may be reversed at any point with out stopping the maCiline, Change for the va rious kinds of stitches are made whilst the machine is in motion. Its stitches, forbeauty,' strength, and elasticity, are the wonder of all. The beauty of it - Ls unsurpassed.

WHEELER, & WILSON'S BEWING• MACHINES.— The highest compliment, that could be paid to the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines; is the fact that over 205,0e0 of them have been sold, of - which 7,000 have been sold in this city alone.

GET RID OF You's Tuoustes.—To get rid of your troubles, stop thinking of them. Whether you areas lively as crickets or dull as dish water, depends less on the size of your pocket book than on the condition of your Mind.

H. DUTTON. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The stock speculation which was so rampant during the progress of the war, brought into existence a large number of brokers and quasi bankers, who at the close of it reckoned their profits at a very high figure. The currency, as it 'daily expanded, fostered the speculative spirit, and to this was added the still greater stimulants, the fluctuations of -.military sue_ cess and defeat. The war having subsided, and the currency, if not being curtailed, cer tainly not. augmenting, the question natu rally arises how so many brokers' offices on Third and Other streets can pay rent and other expenses. There is not in their favor even the oil excitement that used to pay such hand some commissions. Happily, there exists no longer that recklessness in stock jobbing, that characterized this and Other markets a few months ago, and even those who sought to make sudden fortunes by the rise or fall of stocks or of gold have retired from the risks of speculation, either contented with their gains or disheartened by their losses. It is certain that there is no field for factors in stock-buying or selling, as has been the case for two or three years past, and we are pre pared to see a large number of the Third•street operators betaking themselves to their origi nal pursuits, or at least leaving what may be deemed a precarious mode of existence. The stock market is not likely to be moved either one way or another for some time to come. There can be uo real change till the outside public determine to buy or to sell, and at pre sent we perceive no indications of any such disposition. In fancy stocks there is as little to be done as in railroad shares. So many worthless stocks have been foisted upon people that they are naturally coy where the danger is that they will burn their fingers as severely as their neighbors have been singed. Many of these stocks are inflated in price beyond all reason, and it, would be bettor for the market to have them run down gradually to their real values. In the meantime we have only to keep the record correct and to watch the movements to restore activity to the street. There are no changes to notice in the de mand or in the prices of Government bonds.

The highest quotation yesterday was 144, the lowest 143%, at which it closed, The recent meeting of Iron Illanufactureit at Cleveland, gives us the materials for calcu lating the decline of Iron manufacture in 1865 below the figures to which it attained . in 1864. While some share of this decline is due to the disproportionate prices of labor and supplies prevailing for the last six months, still more is due to the opening of the door to foreign iron. The most striking factsreported at that meeting were, first, that of twenty-one anthra cite furnaces in the Schuylkill Valley in blast in 1864, and making 94,000 tons of iron, but eight are in blast in 1865, making 25,000 to 30,000 tons. Of twenty-nine anthracite furnaces on the Lehigh, reeking 214,000 tons Of iron, but eleven continue in blast, making probably 75,000 tons. Of twenty-one furnaces on the Upper Susque hanna, but four remain in blast ; and of seven: teen on the Lower Susquehanna, but five re main in blast. Generally the anthracite AU , nacos make not more than one-third as much iron in 1865 as in 1864. Pittsburg has thirty two iron works, and six great steel establish% meats. Of these, the number silent is eleven iron works, and two steel works. But one fur naveout of five is in blast. Philadelphia, with eleven rolling mills, is now producing but ten per cent. of its productions in 1864. The great Danville rolling mills are silent, with more than half the works of the like charac ter throughout the country. There has as yet been no public announce ment of the authorization of a national bank in the State of TIMM, but it is stated that one will soon be established in Galveston, with a capital of $500,000, and another at Brownsville, with a capital of $lOO,OOO. Applications have also been made for a bank at Houston, with $300,000 Capital, for one at Austin, with a capi tal of $lOO,OOO, one at San Antonio, with $lOO,- 000, one at Huntsville, with $lOO,OOO, and one at Tyler, with sloo,ooo—making an aggregate ca pital for the State of *1,300,000.

" The advices from Frankfort mention that the settlement on the_Bourse for the August account has ahown that the market is at length overstocked with American funds, while dis count remains at 3 per cent. As much as 10 per cent. was paid for carrying the transac tions forward to the new account. It appears there are many weak holders, and as every steamer brings new supplies, prices give way if not supported by better few York quota tions." These statements are to be received with some grains of allowance. There have been repeated evidences that the news agencies in England are more or less manipulated for pri vate interests.
