HARRISBURG, PA. Thursday Morning, November 'I, 1881. AN APPRAT, TO THE PEOPLE. The approach of winter behooves those who have in charge the comfort as well as the disci pline of the soldier, that they induce the pea ple throughout the country to move in such measures as will best assist In promoting this comfort, and also in contributing the necessary essentials to the relief of the sick and the succor of tile woadded. We have heretofore alluded to this subject, and also caned the attention of the reader of the Tatzonern to the efforts being made by the SmaitarylCommission of Washington city, an organization composed of individuals whO ,havo devoted themselves to the care of the s oldier, when he is unfitted for duty and has been left to the uncertain and at best rude at tention of tho army hospital. The work is a noble and a patriotic one. It addresses itself to the co operation and aid of every man and woman in the country, as one eminently be-. fitting the moat exalted, and one, too, in which the humblest with the smallest contribution can exalt himself in the sight of that God who will eventually crown our hosts and adorn our banners with the blessing of success. We direct the special attention of the readers to the address on the first page of this after noon's edition of the Tatsurtarn. A careful perusal of the appeal thus made must prove ir resibtable to those who love their country and admire its defenders. It must prove irresista ble also to a large class of young and able bo died men who yet stand aloof from this contest, and who can afford to contriblue of their means for the purchase of the articles desired by the Sanitary Commission. It appeals to the rich for a share of the luxury which is concealed in the privacy of their enjoyment and d omestie feast's It aPlititAt tia all, as the winter storms begin to howl and the subtle frtats to blast the beauty of the earth, that there are thousands of our fellow citizena exPosed to that storm and frost ; thousands.weary and sick and deserving of our aid and encouragement, and perhaps thousands more Who may with the last expiring breath, blesi the iinpulse which devised and the gener osity which sustained the Sanitary Commission in whose ? behalf we now appeal. We repeat, that the address on our first page this afternoon, should be, carefully perused by all our readers, and also admonish them that to refuse the aid, for which it appeals, must be regarded as a species of recreancy to our cause almtist'aa criminal as that which would betray it into thri hands of the enemy. THE OLD SPIRIT` STILL ALIVE. If some of the potentates or governments of EuroPe, controlled by motives of state policy, may hesitate as to the part they shall take in our civil broils, the people are assuredly with the North. The hereditary lovers of liberty, of all ranks, are also with us, and Amerimns may mention with pride, as alike honorable to the persons concerned and to their country, that the grandsons of Lafayette and Rochauabeau have' solicited places in our army. In the revo lutionary war Washington was glad to acknowl edge the assistance of the young Frenchmen who left their homes to join his ranks, and in this greater war his descendants will Welcome their descendants with peculiar satisfaction.— Our cause needs no foreign aid, and will not ask for fit, but when they who appreciate its worth volunteer their swords, we shall hail them, one and all, as friends. WHY ,DOIV'T YOU SHOOT? The arch-traitor, John C. Breckinridge, has thefiripudence 'to issue a manifesto, from 'away down south in.Dixie,' "to the people of Ben tucky," in which he says : "I exchange with proud satisfaction, a term of 10 yParta in the United States Senate for the musket of a soldier." Now that you have gotone,,blow your brains out, atorice. It will save the hangman a heap of trouhle; and as the people are fond, now-a-dayis of nitifdties, it will be a new Tendering of "Pq, goes 14 masa' !"

These storms, which frequent,• ly occur in autumn and winter, generally take from three to lave winters to traverse the At lantic coast and extend northward to Halifax, near which they whirl off upon the waters and are lost from human observation in the Arctic seas.

There are men in every community, in the city of Harrisburg as well as in many other cities, who are constantly growling and snarl ing at everything they cannot comprehend and every man they are unable to appreciate. These grumblers are not only confined to the Democracy, but we have them among the Re publicans, a self-conceited clam of men who arrogate to themselves superior judgment and discretion in all things. This class of men is graphically alluded to by the Baltimore Patriot who observes that at this crisis, when every day knows that the government and the Union have to contend with foes unrelenting and powerful—enemies without and within—abroad and at home—in foreign countries as well as in the rebellious states of the confederacy—there is no appology for the inconsiderate and trucu lent scribblers of the prom and declaimers on the stump, who assail the Administration. By our Constition, the magna charta of our regulated liberty, the Executive is a fixed fact. No change can be made of it, until November, 1864. Men of sense and rational men of action should, therefore, make the best they can of this, fact. Why, therefore, assail the PieAcient, Unless to weaken the government. The same, or nearly the same, may be said of the Cabinet. It is erroneous to use the phrase so often employed, and sometimes by persons who ought to know better—" Constitutional advisers." The Constitu tion does not enjoin any advisers to the Presi dent, except the Senate. But the heads of De partments are identified with the Executive ad mininistration And we ask, alsorwhy assail the Secretaries in general, or in detail, unless for the purpose of impairing the force of the government? The admin'stratibu's cause, just now, is the cause of the government and the Union. Suppose there was a total change of administration to-day, does any human being ima,4 ne that there would be less/dull-finding to morrow than there is now? What folly, then, what worse than folly in men of 'caution or re flection about other matters, to yield the slight est acquiescence to the pretences of those who affect "candid and independent criticism" in their vituperate comments upon the Cabinet, or particular inembens of it We commend the consideration and digestion of these observations to Republicans as well as Democrats, who are constantly growling with what they have not the sense to understand, or when blessed with this quality, not the justice to admit a claim or truth which conflicts with their prejudices. . WHEAT. On Monday a large quantity of wheat changed hands in New York' city: " The amo ant sold is stated on the street at about six millions of bushels, and most of the purchases were for English account. One Aim is reported to have bought two million bushels to fill British orders. The rec. iptd of grain in New York continue very heavy. On the same day 4,400,000 builiels of wheat were received at this port ; and the rail roads and canals are crowded to their utmost capacity: We alluded some time since to the increased demand for AMerican breadstuffe abroad, and the fact also that our exportation during the present year, with the cotton trade suspended by the blockade, amounted to many millions'of dollars more than it was last year. These facts go to prove that our dependence on the cotton interest was utterly delusive, so far as that in terest was supposed to control the rates of ex change or the prosperity of our foreign com merce. The aristocracy of cotton; founded on the institution of slavery, like all other aristo cracies, has had its day, and with the corrup tion of the institution by which it had been sustained, is hound to cease in its rule and its arrogance Wheat and corn will occupy the throne, in conjunction, which the rule of cotton has ensangnined with the degradation of slavery and the oppression of the mill: THE SUCCESSOR OF FREMONT. The removal of Gen. Fremont is now the absorbing topic of the day, while the personal history and attainments of his successor are no less themes of tliacussitm and comment The . , New York Worklis not very complimentary in its notice of Gen. Hunter, who is indicated as his successor, but for the want of a more ex tended sketch of his life, we print that of the World, as follows : " General Hunter, tho reported successor of Generale Fremont, is , about sixty years• of age.. He graduated at West Point in 1822, the twenty fifth in rank in a class numbering forty, and was appointed second lieutenant of infantry. Having risen to a first lieutenancy, he WllB, in 1886, made Captain of cavalry, bat shortly after resigned. In 1842 he rejoined the alloy as pay master, hrwhich position with the rank of ma jor, the present adniihistAtion found him. He accompanied Mr. Linepin, from Springfield, on his tour to Washington, as far as Buffalo, where, owing to the pressure of the crowd,' he' suffered a dialocation of the collar bone. Short ly after he was made colonel of the Third Cav alry, and then - 'brigadier-general." He com manded &leading division at the battle of Bull Run, but was'wounded so early in the day that he reached'Washington, traveling in an ambu-. lance, almost as soon as Mr. Russell. He Raw no service in the Mexican war, nor in any of our Indian wars." • THE COST 0 f THE WAR. It appears from the official statement that the amount of drafts upon the Treasury last month was ten and a half milli ins of dollars, of which six im lions six bur aced thousand Were &awn from New York. The unavailable bullion fund is nine hundred and two thousand. The total balance to the credit . of the United States Treasury in the states now under insurrectionary control, is stated at six and a half millions, and after making a de duction for the unavailable, giies the 'available balance at four and a half millions. Tas Ram ELEOTION.—Today the election of members of the Confederate Congress, and of .electors of President and Vice President, takes place in the insurgent States. The elect Ors meet on the first Wednesday in Decembef, on the 18th of February their Congress will Meet, and on the 19th, the President of Itebeldomi will be inaugurated, if, the concern lasts that long., If not, not.

We quoted yesterday a portion of the com plimentary salutation with which Secretary Cameron was received in New York, while on the escort which accompanied Geu. Scott to his home and his sacred retirement. On Monday evening, an immense throng assembled in the rotunda of the Astor House to greet and sere nade the Secretary of War, who spoke in re sponse to their enthusiasm and welcomes. Dodworth's band was stationed in the spacious rotunda of the Astor House. A large assem blage had gathered, the band had played various selections, and as they struck up "Home, Sweet Home," Secretary Cameron came upon the stairway, and was greeted with hearty ap plause. Col. John Cochrane, of the Chasseurs, a mem ber of the last Congress, and one of the most eloquent of all the adherents of the Democratic party, said he had the honor of introducing one who was the representative of that Union senti ment that they had assembled to honor and to glorify in his person. [Applause.] Secretary CAKBRON said : I am extremely obliged for the kindness that has prompted this visit to-night. I am glad to meet you, repre senting as you do, this great city. It is a mo mentous time in the history of our country—a country which only the other day was united, prosperous and happy, but which is now torn asunder; and we have before us one of the most important wars the world has ever seen. Why we should have been thus chastised by Provi dence it is not tor me to say, but there must have been some cause for it; and I do not believe the wrong has been here or in this section. Still it is our business to vindicate ourselves and to restore our country to the prosperity and the vigor which it had formerly enjoyed. lam not vain enough to think that this demonstration is made for me individually, but you have come to pay your respect to this Government, of which, 1 presume, you regard me as an humble part. I have come here to thank the men of this city for what they have done for their country. You have a population of a million of people. You have already sent out about 35,000 good men to fight for our laws, our institutions, and oar country. lam sure, if need be, and you are called upon for more, that this city will send 100,000. [Cheers.] In the war of the Revolu tion, when we were building this Government, the little State of Massachusetts, with a popu lation of but little over 300,000, sent into the field at one time 66,000 of her people. [a. voice "Bully for Massachusetts," and cheers]--mtre than one for every rive of her whole popu lation. At no time was Massachusetts more patriotic or more brave than New York ; and when the time comes for one-fifth of her popula tion, you will send some 500,000. [That is so, and cheers.] Gentlemen, she has not only sent her sons, but she has given her money, not by thousands, but by millions and hundreds of millions, and she will double and quadruple those hundreds of millions, if necessary, to save this glorious country, which our Fathers of the Revolution established. [Applause.] We have had, Gentlemen, some reverses, and we have some excuse to make for them. The people or the North are a working peuple ; for 50 years they have been employed in the quiet pursuits of civil life. For more than SO years the peo ple of the South have been meditating this foul rebellion. They have been preparing for war while we were thinking only of peace. They were not content with availing themselves of their own resources, but stole our resources from us. Traitorous men sent munitions of war and money to the South ; and, when the time was ripe for rebellion, they stole what they found there. The soldiers which they had educpted at West Point were corrupted, and were ready -to fight against their fathers and brothers here. In every war in this country we have had re verses at the outset. But - we have now passed the day of reverses,l believe. [Cheers.] When the war commencd, we had no money in our treasury, for they had robbed us of that ; and we had no guns in our arsenals, for they hid stolen them—now we have plenty of money and abundance of men. We have a brave and gallant young General at the head of our army. [Tremendous applause, and three cheers for McClellan, which were followed by three cheers for Gen. Scott.] That young soldier is the idol of his troops, because of his care of them. Iu every contest which he has had thus far he has been victorious. He has disciplined his army in such a manner as to insure victory with the immense hosts which will be under hint. Therefore, I say to you, gentlemen, that our day of trouble is gone by. We have only to have a little confidence in each other. Let us wait till that young General is ready for the conflict, and he will pledge his life upon victory. [Cheers.] lam glad to meet you for many other reasons than I have stated.' There was a time when Pennsylvania was the greatest State, but New York has out stripped her. But your wealth adds to our wealth, to our prosperity, while our success will increase your wealth. Pennsylvania, with two millions of population, while you have three millions, has sent to the field, I am proud to say, 1,500 more men than the State of New York. I mention that merely, gentlemen, be- , cause lam sure if you had known it before, you would have outstripped us. I have no dbubt your being told of this will cause a spur to enlistments, and that next month you will 'Mat be 1,500 behind; but 1,500 before us.— [Clwers.] Gentlemen, I rarely make speeches. My life has been one of action, and therefore, you will now excuse me for saying good-night "to you. [Great cheering.] Ism= WHEAT AT TEE WM.—From vari oils parts of the country we hear reports con cerning the wheat crop of many farmers that are uot at all encouraging. Everywhere an immense crop of first rate wheat was grown.— The hopeful predictions of an unpreix.dentedly ridh harvest that were published early in the season, are not contradicted_ by the result. But a large number of farmers have not the wheat to dispose ot—nothing near the amount—that they at one time hoped ; and in calm where they have the number of bushels that was cal culated on, it has been found to be sadly depre elated in value. The straw grew so rank as to make it impossible to put it in barns—even where barns are used—and so it was stacked in ,the open fields. We are assured by persons who know about it that stacks of wheat heads are frequently to be seen that are as green as the straw was in May.—Chicago Post. SIATRRY VANISHDIG.—The St. Louis _Evening News says : "Slavery is vanishing from Mis souri more rapidly even than its enemies pre girded. Secession has made the state too hot for the institution, and secessionists are daily leaving the state for the south, with their slaves, to escape the very dangers they them selves madly invited and provoked. We argued six months ago that secession or attempted se cession in Missouri would overthrow slavery in the state, and hurry the institution to its doom. But the secessionists would not listen to us.

RUNNING THE REBEL BLOCKADE Reported Resignations Resignations of Generals Wool and Mitchell. ARRIVAL OF CONTRABANDS. SUFFERING IN RAPPAHANNOCK VALLEY. A New Rebel Battery at Acqala Creek PROSPECT OF AN ADVANCE. .__.~~ VAsuindToN, Nov. The steam ferry boat Stepping Stone,recently purchased by the government in New York, ran the blockade about eleven o'clock last night, and was not fired upon by the rebel bat teries. The Stepping Stone is similar in con struction to the rebel steamer George Page, and is about the same size, drawing from three to three and a half feet of water only. She was thus enabled to hug the Maryland shore in pass ing the batteries. The Stepping Stones passed a pungy, also bound up. She brought hither six contrabands. who were picked up by the tug Bailey in the lower Potomac. They had es caped from the Virginia shore in a dug-out, and it is evident from their statements they had planned their escape long since The Island Belle had fourteen contrabands on board at Cedar Point, and about fifty were sent to Old Point a short time since from the flotilla. The fugitives represent that there is great suffering in the Bapphannock,region of Virginia for want of food, clothing, shoes, &c: There is a new Confederate battery at Acquia Creek a few hundred yards north of the old one. Two shells were fired from it yesterday, apparently to try the range only, as no vessels were near. There are indications at Matthias Point that the rebels are at work there, possible in putting up entrenchments. The reported resignation of Gen. Wool does not seem to be well founded, as the latest dis patches received from him at the War Depart ment make no mention of such an intention. it is doubtless true that Brigadier General Mitchell, of Cincinnati has tendered his resigna tion. The Commander-in-chief of the army is not out of the city to-day, and the tele graph reports all quiet over the river. The water in the Potomac is falling .rapidly,, and communication will be immediately resumed by the Long Bridge and Government fer ries. Though not noted by newspaper re porter, it is no violation of good faith to state that th army trains are daily engaged in trans porting shot and shell, heavy cannon, and pow der to Virginia. This morning forty loads of shot and shell were tallied over; and the army, though not fighting, are daily and dilligently employed in prepartions to that end. The en campments, rendered somewhat unpleasant by the storm, are all again in fine condition. The roads in Virginia are not improved, and the constant passiug of ifeavy teams has cut them tip so that in many places they are almost im passable. From Western Virginia. PIRTIOULLHB OP THE FIGHT AT GAHLRY. The Rebels Repulsed With Great Loss. GEN. BENHAM IN THEIR REAR. The Times of this afternoon has some particu lars of the recent fight at Gauley Bridge. The engagement was not a general battle, but a rather warm skirmish, in which the rebels were repulsed with great loss. The action commenced by the rebels, who opened two batteries on our lines near Gauley Bridge, but, although firing constantly all day, little or no damage was done ; not a man on our side being killed. Late on Friday our ar tillery was brought to bear, and the rebel fire soon silenced. , , A train was also fired upon abont the same time, some miles up the river, and three men were wounded, but none killed. General Benham's brigade moved down the river to Gauley Bridge, and were ferried. across on a flatboat, which the rebels had previously sunk. He moved along, the base of the hill upon which tke rebel batteries had been plant ed, intending to go down as far as Lamp creek, three or four miles below ; where there is a gap in the mountains, and a road leading to the rear of where the rebels are encamped. From Fortress Monroe and Hatteras. FORTRISEI MORROB, Nov. 5. } The steamer Spaulding has just returned frgm Hatteras Inlet, bringing Col. Hawkins, who pro ceeded to Washington in a special boat upon bminess connected with his post. The storm at Hatteras Inlet has. been very severe.. The recent high tides had completely overflown the space outside of the forts, and as a new channel is forming between the forts, it is apprehended that they may becom untenable. • • About one fourth of the much needed cloth ing of the Twentieth Indidna regiment had been landed from the Spaulding on Friday night when the gale came on, and it was all washed away with some other stores that had been landed. Yesterday rations for the Post were safely landed, but the Spaulding brings brick the greater part of her cargo.' Five rebel steamers came near die Inlet: esterday, but re tired after firing a couple of shots. Lieut. W. H. Malan, who returned from the fleet in the Belvidere, also goes to. Baltimore to look after the repairs to his vessel. Two coal schooners, tarrying fuel to the fleet, made Hatteras, Inlet during the gale and hoisted signals of distress, but could not be reached by the vessels inside. TILE WAR IN . KENTUCKY.

Andrew Re-elected The vote at the Massachusetts election to-day was remarkably small, being not more than one half of that of last year. The returns from the other towns will pro bably continue this ratio of two to one against Davis. One Democrat is probably elected to the State Senate from Boston. The Legislature is strongly Republican. Caleb Cushirig is ' elected to the Legislature from Newburyport. The chief interest of the election was in Bur lingame's old district, the seat in Congress hav ing been made vacant by the resignation of Hon. Wm. Appleton. Simnel Hooper, the Re publican candidate, is elected over G. B. Upton (Dem.) by 900 majority. Charles G. Loring, of Boston, and ex Gover nor Clifford, of New Bedford, are both elected to the State Senate on the Republican ticket. The People's Union Ticket Elected. Returns from different parts of the State indi cate the success of the Peoples Union ticket by a heavy majority. , NEW Yoax, Nov. 6—midnight —James Lynch has been elected sheriff of this county. The returns from various parts of the State indicate the election of the whole People's Union State ticket by a heavy majority, with the ex ception of the Canal Commissioner for the short term, which is in doubt, with the jirobability of the election of Wright, (Dem.) over Talmadge, (Union,) and Bruce, (Rep.) Henry J. Raymond, of the New York Times, is elected to the Assembly. The latest returns of the election show that the Democrats have gained six members in West Jersey, making the Legislature entirely Democratic. ticket voted for yesterday. The election being merely for county officers and members of the Legislature. There has been elected to the Senate ten Democrats, ten Republicans and ten Independent Democrats. In the House there is probably a small Union maj.,rity. Morris county gives 760 Democratic majority. Passaic couuty 600 Republican majority. Hun terdon county 400 Democratic. Bergen county goes Democratic. Middlesex county Democratic. Union county gives a small Republican majori ty. &vex county gives 1,400 Democratic ma jority. The election is programing' quietly. General Dix this morning issued instructions to the judges to allow no man to vote whb took part or bore areas in the riot of April, nor who re fused, when challenged, to take an oath of fi delity to the Government. The whole Union ticket will of course be elected, and it is hoped by a clear andiwidispnted majority, of the legal votes ofthe'State.

One of the most terrible explosions we have had .to record fogs long period, occurrvd at the Bridaiburg Arsenal, at about two o'clock yes terday afternoon. The Arsenal grounds are atuated about three miles from Port Richmond. The building in which the explosion took place, is situated in the back part of the grounds, about 100 feet from any other building. It was uilt of brick, about 20 by 30 feet in di mensions, and one story high. The building was used for the purpose of dry ing what may be termed• cap powder, the pow der being spread out on paper, and laid on the floor. Sometimes in fine, weather, and when the wind dia not blow very hard, the powder was taken out doors to dry it more expeditious ly. There was in the building; at the time of the explosion, 600 lbs. of fulminating mercury, which is valued at $3 per pound, and about 40 lbs of the powder, valued at $2 per pound, in the process of drying. A portion of this pow der, however, had .byen removed previous to the accident, by Mr. Prank Billhart, to another . At the time of the explosion there were en gaged in the building two men, who , were in stantly killed, rby being blown and torn to pieces. Their names were Mr J. Neal and Mr. Cooeby.
