Tina Horner Maori Max or Tars STATE have by this time discovered the means by which the Breckinridge democracy have managed to elect a large number of their sympathizers, as members of the approaching legislative House of Representatives. Before the election, these men were all advocated as Union candidates— as representatives who were to eschew party, and lend their aid and influence only to the support of both State and National Administra tions in their struggles to put down rebellion. But since success has crowned their efforts, and the Breckinridge men have discovered that they hold a kind of balance of power in the House, they have thrown off the Union mask, and now declare their true intention of fixing only on such a policy as will promote their party inter ests, compromise the issues involved in this war, and settle our difficulties by compelling the federal authority to yield to the slave power. The Patriot and Union already indicates this pol icy by claiming the Union men elected on union principles'in Lancaster, Chester, Lehigh, Blair, Centre and other counties, as Democrats—as regular wool-dyed, dough-face Breckinridge Democrats, such as control its own columns. By this means this clique intend to get posses sion of the House. By this means they hope to fulfill the obligations entered into before Mr. Buchanan's term bad expired, of giving aid and comfort to the rebels—and on the effects of the result thus so early demonstrated, we congratu late the Republicans who suffered themselves to be hoodwinked by their enemies, and who are thus about to be represented by those who will not only degrade the Republican masses as a party, but put them to scorn and contempt as freemen. Tull LATE COLLECTOR AT NASHVILLE, Tennes see has arrived in Washington, bringing late news from Tennessee. He sags that the Union feeling is very much stronger in that state than outside facts would seem to indicate. A large number of the best Union men have joined the secessionists simply to save their lives and pro perty till the time comes when the arrival of federal troops will enable them to avow their real sentiments. He reports that provisions are abundant in Nashville, the rebels having had forethought to lay in supplies while the railroads were running to Louisville. In fact the whole summer has been improved by the Confederate leaders in importing valuable arti cles or merchandise for fall and winter con sumption. MAINE PREPARING FOR TILE NAL —Recruiting goes forward briskly in Maine, and nine full regiments have already marched to the war. The Eleventh is nearly full, and volunteers are pouring into thq.Twelfth, which is commanded by Colonel Shepley, to be attached to General Butler's division. Neal Dow has also taken up the sword and commenced recruiting as Colonel of the Thirteenth. The cavalry regiment is nearly full. It will consist of twelve compa nies, of one hundred men each, and is expected to be entirely equipped and ready to take the field in about three weeks. It is commanded by Colonel John Goddard, the leading lumber man of Maine. Porsoaons 0113TERS.—A member of the Edin burgh Royal College of Physicians, who has emigrated to this country, having occasion to get some oysters, he went to an oyster stand in New York city, and observed, after the man in attendance had opened several of the bivalves, that hie knife was covered with a deep green coating. He borrowed the knife of the oyster man, analysed the coating, and found it to be a depodition of pure: native copper, whence he very naturally infers that there is a necessity for again cautioning oyster-eaters against the danger of eating oysters whose bed is situated above a sub-maltne copper mine. COMPETENT azrnoarrias declare that there is no reason to fear the occurrence of hostilities between this country and any foreign power, while the vigorous vindication of the policy of the government contained in Secretary Seward's reply to Lord Lyons, gives the fullest assurances that the national dignity will be upheld to the fullest extent. Both the British citizens, who are made the subject of Lord Lyon's remon strance, were released from imprisonment at Fort Lafayette some time since, and are now at lull liberty on parole; so that there is no imme diate occasion for difficulty in &eh' individual cases. SOME LARGE SUBSCRIPTIONS to the national loan have been made in Providence, Rhode Island. Messrs. Brown & Ives subscribed for $lOO,OOO ; Alexander Duncan, Esq., $lOO,OOO ; A. D. & J. Y. Smith, •$40,000 ; the trustees of estate of Thomas L. 'Halsey, $20,000. IT IS EPORTBD that the traitor Twiggs has re signed. his command in the rebel army, and that he is succeeded by Mansfield Lovell, late Deputy Street Commissioner in this city. BunniP (4.4in5., of Rhgde Island, is visiting the camp ; aba l it Washington, WI :meting and en couraging the itoldiere. LABOR IN THE ARMY. A soldier generally has as much work as he can perform, if he attends to his daily drill, the usual camp labor and the attention necessary to keep his body clean. If all these duties are properly discharged, with a constant readiness for advance, battle and the occupation of con quered localities, a soldier has little time or disposition to engage either in digging trenches, erecting earth-works, or constructing any de scription of fortification or defense. His thoughts, his training and his disposition while in camp do not run in the direction of mono tonous labor. He is readier with the bayonet than the pick-ax, and will wield his sabre with more alacrity than he can handle a spade. These facts have bees before the War Depart ment for some time, and with his usual sagacity, Secretary Cameronlms conceived and is about to establish a new system, by which the time of the soldier can be entirely devoted to his per fection in arms, while the economy and disci pline of the camp will also be promoted and enhanced. Hereafter laborers are to be employed in the erection of fortifications, and soldiers are not to be assigned to that duty in the future. We have no doubt that-the system will be pro duction of great good, simply because the prac tice heretofore of compelling men to labor hard with a shovel or pick in their hands until the alarm was given for them to shoulder their muskets and march to meet a foe, was not the most conducive either to valor, activity or suc cess in a fight. As long as the labor in the trenches and on the fortifications was not equally distributed among the rank and file, it was one of those other petty acts of oppressive distinction, of which the regular Ameri can army must be relieved before the service will possess the attractions necessary to make it a school of competition in all its grades and all its departments. By thus relieving the soldier from irksome labor, the idea is not to establish the disgrace of industry, or to hold labor as be neath the dignity or the qualification of any man. The object of Secretary Cameron is rather to afford the soldier all his time for military study and perfection—to elevate and encourage every man in the ranks, and thus leave him no excuse for dereliction, or no exemption from any of the stern and more dangerous duties of his profession. If this system is put into operation, and the soldier in camp is kept in constant at tention to his drill exercise and personal care, it will relieve many of those in command of an abundance of time, and in the end turn their care to their own improvements, discipline and devotion to their profession. The object in either case is a consumation calculated to do good to the common soldier and superior commander. MEN FOR TEE WINTER CAMPAIGN. It has been suggested by a cotemporary that there are thousands of men in the free and loyal states who would gladly enter the army for a certain period, but that their business and personal engagements are of such a character that they cannot possibly enlist for three years. We confess that there is something plausible in this suggestion, and we therefore join in the re commendation that the federal authorities call for at least one hundred thousand men to serve for six months. This force could be recruited and disciplined in the loyal states in one month, and in the present condition and temper of the public mind, good soldiers are abundant and willing to serve for such a period, while it is entirely out of their power to leave home and business for a greater length of time. During the coming winter, a hundred if not two hund red thousand men will be out of employment, and these anticipated idlers, too, are composed of the very best material in point of health, intel ligence and activity for the organization of an army. Until the revival of business which is bound to occur with the opening of the next spring, these men must needs be employed.— They all feel that they could be of service to their country for such a length of time as inter venes between the present fall and the future spring, at the expiration of which time they would be again more useful to the nation at home, engaged in the pushing forward of busi ness, the production of means and the cultiva tion of trade and commerce, than they would be in the ranks with arms in their hands. We trust that the federal authorities will give these suggestions some attention. If the fall and winter campaign is to be vigorous, we will need all the men we can recruit. As the army is now distributed, the rebels are being daily hemmed in—their communication cut off, their resources curtailed, their recruiting diminished, and their armies fast being forced into positions where they must either fight or surrender. And when the fight comes, it is discreet that we should be prepared. That preparation must consist in men, and therefore if the government should add another, hundred thousand men for the period suggested, the force would be on hand just in time to crush the traitors. We repeat, then, that the suggestions of our ootemporary are well worthy of consideratios.. Now is the time to get good soldiers, when the valor and patriotism of the people are both around. SMITHS IN TEE ARMY: The Smith family can have no complaints that they are not amply represented among the field officers in the war. There is (acting) Maj. General William F. Smith, of Vermont, com mending the , right wing of our army on the Po tomac ; and opposed to him is Maj. General Gustavus W. Smith, commanding the left wing of the rebel army. Brigadier General Charles Ferguson Smith commands at Paducah. Of Colonels and field officers there is apparently no end. Illinois has Colonel Robert F. Smith, 16th regiment, at St. Joseph, MO., Colonel Gus tavus A. Smith, 36th regiment, in Fremont's army ; Colonel John E. Smith, of the Lead Mine regiment raising at Galena. OhiofuninlHl - five Colonels Smith, viz : Benj. F. Smith, of the Ist ; Wm. S. Smith, of the 18th ; J. L. Kirby Smith, of the 64th ; and Orlando Smith, of the 73d. Missouri has Colonel Morgan L Smith of the Bth. We should despair of enu merating the Smiths who are field, staff or line officers, suffice it the proportion is well main tained. There' was at one time a proposition to raise a fall reentent of Smitbs ; but the diffi culty would be itt making up an intelligible list of killed and wounded was an into arable jection.

For the first time since they had a history of their own, the United States men, whether Fed erals or Confederates, are encountering real dif ficulties and fighting real battles against equal foes. No doubt the difficulties are self created, and the battles are fought with one another.— The Union has divided itself and gone to buf fets—but the result is the same. The nation is passing through the crucible—it is being purg ed as by fire. All the tests of national strength, of individual hardihood, of administrative abil ity, and of public spirtt to whicn we, in the Old World have been subjected over and over again from our youth upward, are now suddenly applied to our American brethren in the full tide of their wealth and enjoyment. In their turn they have to discover by hard trial wheth er they possess generals who can command, sol diers who will fight, ministers with ability to organize, and a national spirit loyal enough to redeem the heavy burdens, the chilling disap pointments, and above all, the wearisome de lays inevitable in a state of war. It is, indeed, but improbable that the struggle may serve, not only to prove, but to produce, the virtues it is most desirable to find. It may be a proof as a test of the American character. From the pending contest the Americans, as a nation, may retire in the end exhausted and impover ished. But any temporary sacrifice of money or territory will be amply repaid if the National energies have been trained, and society in every circle has learned to set a due value. on the possessions which have been gained, or pre served, at a heavy cost of blood and treasure. If such should be the result of the war, it will have proved the happiest event that ever hap pened to America. The Americans may be weaker, poorer, and even disunited by its oc currence, but the loss will be far overbalanced by the gain. They will have acquired a better title to respect from other nations. Above all, they will have learned better how to respect themselves. A Soldier Wounded by an Elk. On Sunday morning, Simeon Garrett, a mem ber of Capt. Horn's company was attacked and wounded by a large buck elk belonging to the Agricultural Society, and which with two oth ers of the female species, and several common deer have been running at large on the Fair Ground. The old elk, from the first introduc tion of the soldiers, had shown unmistakeable signs of rebellion, squealing vehemently every few minutes, and shaking his enormous horns whenever any person approached within fifty yards of him. The first sight of the American flag made him furious and plainly indicated that he was a traitor of the bloodiest stripe. He was ac cordingly watched with considerable caution, and sensible persons kept out of his way.— The soldier who had the "Bull Run" fight with his elkship, showed more "courage than conduct," and if others had not gone imme diately to his assistance, would have inevitably been killed The elk had pounced upon him, and was horning him furiously, having gored him in one thigh to the depth of three inches, besides inflicting sundry bruises on his body. The wounded man was taken to a boarding house and is now considered convalescent. The poor old elk suffered the most barbarous punish ment, being immediately executed, quartered, and his flesh equally divided among the several companies, and became food for canibals ! Thus may it be to all traitors.— American Standard, Uniontown. A Reported Outbreak in. Western Virginia. From the Wheeling Intelligencer, of October 18th Governor Pierpont yesterday received a dis patch from Mr. Van Winkle, of Parkersburg, announcing that the rebels had made their ap pearance in Wirt and Gilmer counties in great numbers, and were carrying on to the perfect terror of the inhabitants. It was reported. that they had attacked Capt Hill's cavalry company, stationed at Elizabethtown, and completely cut them to pieces, and were threatening Parkers burg. The dispatch is certainly from a very reliable source and is entitled to the fullest credit. It is known that an unusual number of rebels have recently appeared in Wirt, Gilmer and Calhoun counties, and many Union men have been mur dered. The rebel forces are not natives of the counties named, but are regularly organized bands, doubtless from Floyd's army. Last night, about dark, companies A, B, C, D and E, of the First Virginia Infantry took passage on the steamer Woodside for Parkers burg. Colonel Thoburn being absent from the city, Lieutenant-Colonel Richmond, of the First Cavalry, went in command. We are not at lib erty to state the destination of the expedition. The boys cam;over from Camp Carlile, pro ceded by the First Cavalry band, under a drenching rain that would have drowned the spirits of a less enthusiastic crowd, but a jollier set of fellows never set out upon expedition, the object of which they know nothing. How To RECOGNIZE a K. G. C.—The examina tion of Frederick Court, an alleged member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, on a charge of conspiracy against the United States Govern ment, was commenced on Wednesday afternoon before United States Commissioner White, in the U. S. Court r om, at Cleveland. One of the witnesses for the United States testified that one of the Knights had explained the signs of recognition to him. Told him to ask a mem ber if he was "out last night " If he replied, "I was," he was to ask "what he saw." "Saw a star in the East." "Which way was it travel ing?" "Towards; Bethlehem," etc. If these questions were answered rightly, the man was a member of the Order. The case is still under examination, and it will have the effect, at any rate, of scaring the traitors who have organized or intend to organize lodges of this traitorous association in Ohio. Gas. B. F. Burma made a speech at Burling ton, Vermont, on Wednesday evening. He said that if any foreign, nation dared to inter fere in our intestine war, we would cease deal ing with southern traitors as erring brothers, delicately and tenderly, and should arm every loyal Union man, North and South, both black and white, bond and free, until treason and its abettors are exterminated, and the meddlesome world was taught a salutary lesson. This sen timent was received with overwhelming plau dits. Tim lATEBT ITEM OF INTELLIGENCE received in Richmond was, that Kr. Lincoln is about to issue a proclamation, declaring all marriages between loyal and rebel parties null and void ! Now this has a spice of piquancy to it that we like. If all their lies were as readable, we wouldn't mind giving a column a day to the inventions of the secession news-mongers. m Cosmonaut. Lscumaxuaz.—The extra session of the Connecticut Legislature adjourned sine die on Wednesday. The only business trans acted was the giving unlimited power to raise volunteers to the Governor ; the authorizing of another loan of two millions of dollars, and the assuming of the collection of the national tax, by which 15 per cent. is saved. Damsons roe run Loss op Brant—At Chicago on Wednesday, the jury in the case of Julia Farrell against Frederick A. Cadwell, an action brought to recover damages for mai practice in the treatment 'of the plaintiff's eyes, by which her sight was destroyed, rendered a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed her damages at $lO,OOO. WILD Dunn have appeared on the Sneque henna, near Wrightsolle, Pa. BY TELEGIAPt Later From Washington, passage or Vessels Down the Potomac RETURN OF SECRETARY CAMERON. Forward Movement of the Penn sylvania Reserves. =I Operations of the Rebels on the Potomac. Capture of &Philadelphia Vessel Ladened with Government Hay- CAPTURE OF THE ENEMY'S TENTS. THE NAVAL ACTION AT THE MODTHOF THE MISSISSIPPI. liVesilixaToN, Oct. 21 The Reliance went down to join the Potomac flotilla last night. The Robert Leslie started thither at noon to day. Some forty vessels went down the river yesterday and safely passed the rebel batteries. A large number of shots were fired at them, but none struck. From information received here, it is believed that the armorei steamship or floating steam battery now building after the Ericcsou plan will be completed before the other two ale finished. The work upon it being of less mag nitude, a large surplus from the sum appropri ated by Congress remains. Secretary Cameron returned this morning from his visit to the wait. The good disciplinary order of our troops in their lecent movements affords a subject for military enconium. All persons to whom passes are allowed to the army lines have gone over the river to be witnesses of the great events that are expected to take place in Virginia during the week. There is no truth in the rumor that General McClellan disapproves of the naval expedition to the South. The entire division of the Pennsylvania re serves, under the command of General McCall, moved forward about twelve miles on Saturday afternoon, leaving their tents behind at Lew insville. The brave Pennsylvania troops, when a battle does take place, will be foremost in the conflict. They are now far in advance of all the other troops. Col. Campbell's splendid regiment of artillery is with the reserves, who are now encamped on the Leesburg turnpike, in the neighborhood of Draineaville. It is reported that Gen. McClellan is about to establish his headquarters at 13all'sCross Roads. Col. Friedmann's cavalry yesterday brought in the rebel who offered $l,OOO reward for one of our guides. Persons attached to the steam tug Resolute, report, that about 1 o'clock yesterday morning, while off Occoquan creek, near Budd's Point, the cable by which the Resolute was towing the schooner Fairfax (from Philadelphia) broke, when the latter drifted towards the shore, and the rebels started out in boats and captured her. The Resolute was, it is added, fired at from the battery in that vicinity, but, being unable to render assistance, made her way to Washing ton, where she arrived last evening. The Farr fax was heavily laden with hay. It is reported that the rebels had stretched a chain over the river, to impede the passage of vessels. The Resolute, being of lighter draft than the Fairfax, passed over it. The firing on the Resolute and the vessels in tow, on Saturday, by rebel batteries, was very determined. She was struck by four shot, but no particular damage done. One hundred and sixty shot and shells were thrown by the rebels the officers of the flotilla keeping count, aided by a glass. There are two guns at the upper battery on Cockpit Point, with awhite Palmetto flag dying. At the next battery there are eight guns ; then one of four and five. Farther down long entrenchments are being thrown up, making five Miles of batteries, and all of heavy guns. On Thursday, Gen. Richardson, with one hun dred men, went out eight miles from Alexan dria, towards Fairfax, where they took ode hundred and twenty'of the enemy's tents. They had been used by a Louisiana regiment, who, it is said, had gone home. • On Friday, General J. B. Richardson, with twelve hundred men, twelve,guns, and a squad of cavalry, went to Pohick Church, where they came upon the enemy in considerable force, twelve miles from Alexandria. The rebels beat the long roll three times, but made no attack. t3en. Richardson soon after returned to camp with his men. Official intelligence has been received here, through a gentleman who has just arrived from the south respecting the affair in New Orleans. The gentleman states that the second account which was received_ at Richmond was not so ex aggerated, and was confined to the details, which were in substance that our little squad ron had had an engagement with the rebel squadron under command of Hollins, and that two of our steamers got aground during the en gagement and suffered considerable. In regard to the sinking of the 'Preble, he says that was denied. None of our versels were captured, and but few lives were lost. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. Return of Released• Prisoners to Baliimore. NO FLAGS OF TRUCE TO NORFOLK. FORTE= MONROE, Oct. 20.. Some twenty released , prisoners, who have been waiting for several days to go to Norfolk by a flag of truce, will return to Baltimore to night. Neither the general commanding nor the flag officer will allow any cx:ardnunication with the rebels, at least for a number of days. The released rebel prisoners from Fort Lafayette arrived here this morning, and were sent tem porarily to the store ship. Col. Dimmick who has been post commandant at Old Point for nearly two years left last night for Fort Warren, Boston Harbor.

He also captured eighteen wagon loads of goods belonging to McClurg - & Co., a prominent Union firm whom the rebels had robbed. The advices from Gen. Fremont are to 7 o'- clock on Friday night. He is still at Warsaw, and the pontoon bridge across the Osage was to be finished on Saturday. General Seigel's division had crossed the river. In was reported in our camp at Warsaw, that Gen. Price had been largely reinforced by the rebels under SPCulloch, and that the combined forces were fortifying Osceola, where they in tended to give Fremont battle. MEM-FALSE RUMORS ST. LOMB, Oct. 19.—Uriel Wright, a member of the State Convention, Sam. Blehurchell, a member of the Legislature, and John T. Chop pell, secessionists, were arrested to-day by or der of the Provost Marshal. It is now believed that, the large number of men reported to have deserted from Price's army, including some 5000 or more said to have been disbanded after the fall of Tpvington, are still in the service of the rebellion, and will form bands in various parts of the State, for bridge burning and general marauding purposes. THE REMOVAL OP FREMONT DM6.1.11' CD. Sr. Louis, Oct. 19. —The statement in the Cincinnati Gazette, of yesterday, to the effect that Secretary Cameron, on his recent visit to this department, brought an order to General Fre mont to transfer the command of the Western Department to General Hunter, and that the execution of the order was delayed at the rtquest of General Fremont, is pronounced untrue. If Secretary Cameron had such an order, it was not presented. The interview between Secreta ry Cameron and General Fremont was satisfac tory to both parties. Iltrosos, Mo., Oct. 20.—Messengers say that a scouting party from Cameron, numbering one hundred men, have been taken prisonet s by some six hundred rebels at lilicaham, Caldwell county. Four hundred federal troops at Cam eron were ready to march to the rescue when the train left. Another party of from forty to sixty was in Carroll county, and had captured seventeen of Col. liorgan's men. Morgan had started in pursuit. THE BATTLE AT BOLIVAR, Important Statement of a Lady from Bolivar Heights• DASTARDLY CORDIOOT OF A REBaL CLERGYMAN. Stabbing Wounded Soldiers With Penknives. Mrs. Mary Young, a lady and a resident for some years of Bolivar Heights, arrived here this evening, having left her home on Saturday. She represents the condition of matters at the Heights as truly distressing. It was a village of some note, but now there are not more than ten families there, composed of negroes and Irish. She has not had any meat to eat for two weeks past, and butter or molasses was not to be obtained for miles around. AIL the men were enlisted in the rebel army, and the women are obliged to do the servile work. One young man, who died there last Monday, could not be buried until Friday, and then the interment was made by the women, in a garden attached to one of the houses. Alter the battle at the Heights, the other day, four or five of our wounded, who were left on the ground, were put to death by a slow and cruel process, such as stabbing them in various parts of the body with a small penknife. In these acts the rebels were aided by a Presbyte rian clergyman of Harper's Ferry, now residing at Sheppardstown. The rebel force, she thinks, was three thousand men. She also says that sue saw six wagon loads of dead rebel 'soldiers, about 160 in number. fDieb. On the 20th inst., ILsarne C. Pouvros, aged 5 years, lone month and 18 days.
