The New York Eaening Post says "Hitherto the Navy has done nothing but guard the mouths of insurgent ports The telegraph brings us news that at last iptre.ll expedition has.set out from the Otesapeake Bay for active operations.— In a few days we may hope to hear from it. Bat its force is small and insignifi cant in comparison with that which will probably without much loss of time oper ate on the seaboard. Hitherto we have been defending the points which the conspirators attacked. The time is ap proaching when we shall turn the ta bles upon the truculent insurgents. "That a great nation should be put upon the defensive by a band of conspi rators is in itself humiliating and dis heartening. Worse, even, it fixes the eyes of the people upon that line of ac tion which the enemy has laid down for us. - We - nee:enly his strm points, be cause he puts these foremost. "We look at Manassas, and forget the vast southern coast line, an attack, in force, upon which would quickly empty the Manassas entrenchments. We look at Memphis, and forget that fifty thous and Union troops in Eastern Tennessee, surrounded by a loyal population in Northern Alabama' and Georgia, Easte Kentucky and Western North Carolina would givatillow and McCullough some thing else to do besides planning raids into Missouri. We read the acts closing the southern ports, and while watching the opera*ns ()four coastguard fleet we forget thet the object of the government and of the war is not to close but to open these ports, and that they are closed only till we can prepare those forces which will re-open them. "For the present we act on the defen sive. We have our forces to gather— our gun to load. It cannot fail that the enemy will gain occasionally, apparent advantages. For the present we have but one hand. Presently we shall have both free. Then we shall see who gains the victories." THE late committee upon a national song received twelve hundred ponies from as many authors, not one of which contained the proper elements of a people's anthem.. A New York paper says to the committee With Feat truth, "You cannot buy poetry as you do potatoes. Indeed, the design from the beginn sag has been certain of fail ure. t was a literary barbarism to pub , lisVproposals for a song of the kind.

In opposing the' corrupt and milignant administration of the War Department, which sacrifl.ed the brave Gen.

"As for the assertion of the above men,. tioned slanderer that our ill feeling against the Simon pure Secretary of War came from disappointment in regard to adver tisements, we have only to say that it is a base malicious me." We give below a couple of extracts from their paper of the 13th and 24th, which wilt be received with the indig nation it deserves, by this community. Here are the patriots who have been en gaged in stirring up public opinion against the Rapublicaner. We advise the U. S.

The proud corpse of our hero, Lyon, cries to Heaven for revenge ; for vengeance, not only on our enemies, but on those who will be our friends and leaders. As Lyon now lies buried, so might our Sigel and his brave comrades now be lying under the ground—the government not having saved him and abandoned Lyon. Six weeks ago and longer we called daily for assistance and a short time after Lyon had joined Sigel in Springfield be prayed fervently for reinforcements, but In vain. Oar rep resentatives had, perhaps, too much to do in the distribution of offices or other trade and had not time to interest themselves in behalf of our poor, abandoned troops.— What tart can the death of the brave Lyon do the political speculator in Wash ington? None. So he evidently thinks, but he is mistaken. The dead Lyon will yet stand up end speak in words of thus, der, through the months of the people; he wild appear as a spectre of vengeance at the banquet of the politicians sad demagogues and drag them into hell, as he did with Don Juan. When we saw Sigel on Monday night, alive before us, exhorting for persistence and capability of endurance of the great est sufferings in the cause of liberty and humanity, this government and her instru ments appeared as trifling in comparison with this little man. He did not complain; the dead body of Lyon will moan no more; yet the politicians, demagogues, President, candidates, talk and glorify for them, selves. Every day shows more clearly that this war, if ever brought to a good end, mast i be taken into better hands. This miseras blo,cotoardly incompleteness, this deficiency of just exasperation and wrath, will bury liberty, if, In a short time, there be not found better ,nen, who understand the bloody necessity of the time and will go directly to work.

SEAW ARD There is an evident movement in war circles to take an excursion along shore and try the coasting trade. The following from the Press gives some reasons for the 'aunt The occupation of ono or more Southern ports by the Union troops would have important results abroad as well as at home. Foreigncountries look on with curiosity and anxiety at this civil war of outs, Suppose that Savannah were tobe captured, and trade and commerce revived there by the United States' authorities declaring it once more &tree and open port, the required supply of cotton could thence be shipped to Europe, to the benefit of all parties. What would be the local effeotr— The grass is growing on the wharves of Savannah because its c .mmerce has ceased; revive that, restore business and destroy stagnation, and those citizens who have been deluded Into rebellion, and even now are lukewarm in it, as well as those who have remained loyal at heart to the Constitution, would be drawn together by the strong bond of mutual interest and thereby glee secession a blow as fatal as if we gained a victory over it on the battle-held. We have no doubt that among the rebels in the South are numbers who have long since repented of the course into which they I were seduced or driven, who would gladly seize the opportunity of returning to their allegiance the Constitution and to the lawful government of the country. The operations of a large force upon the sea board would most strongl y strengthen the blockade. If England and France have any thought of break ing the blockade, to procure cotton or for any other purpose, they would pause, in the face of such a demonstration, before committing them selves to a hostile course. They would hesitate, naturally enough, because It would be perilous policy forcibly to enter ports widen, ln.the course of events, might probably hale the Stars and Stripes proudly floa ting over them, in a few days, or a few weeks at the textbook Another effect upon the European powers would be this—it would prevent any recognition of the rebellious States as inciepeikknt. We have no doubt that there are leading statesmen and wealthy man ufacturers in France ae well as in England who, having a strong &awe to give a blowto the United tea, would gladly recognize the Southern Con federation, if they coma only Ind a plausible pre text for doing it. Whatever the feeling of the people of England and France to ibis country, and we believe it to be thoroughly friendly, it is net to be concealed that their respective governments are not over fond of this republic--chiefly, per -haps, became it is a republic: Victoria may person ally be well-disposed towards us, for she la an amiable gentlewoman, but Palmerston and Bpssell have the power of acting, and both have lately shown no great regard for this country, en gaged as it is in , putting doin a•Bebellids which, if successful, would be,the triumph of as great a ty ranny as ever desolated mankind. Napoleon, who has the merit of keeping his own counsel—a zed canoe to Wiff ch much of hiskterpalse,mty be attrito nte e.—has carefully avoided any . , , inission of opinion, one way or the other, but hf.Thouvenai, his Minister, has shown hie hand on;regoral Om, atone, and the knave is undoubtedly` the'leadios trump in it. The moment we cease to ace on the defensive, we deprive Foreign Powers of all. pre teat for recognizing the South. : • In the . patriott.no and wisdom ot our Governmetd, we nave full confidence. It is impossible to avoid being struck with the devotion to the national cause manifested by Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet tinder the trying circumstances by which they have liter , or been beset. ,Thltvailant veteran Gen.

One of our Third street bankers, a man of enter prise and liberal, patriotic spirit, desirous that Phfiadelph , a shall have its share of the labor and profit-in furnishing these necessary supplies, has promptly agreed to loan one of our active business men from forty thousand to fifty thousand dollars, to purchase wool or Western farmers, from which to manufacture two hundred thonsani yards of heavy cloth, on continua, snit able for our soldiers for winter wear, and already the mc ney for this purpose is en its WV to the Wert, and will soon be in circulation there, enabl ing, with many similar movements, the wool growers of Ohio to pay the grocer and merchant, and ttose in turn to liquidate cld scores here; thus coming back in time to pay for the working up of the manufactured wool into garments for the soldiers. Several manufactories, tow wholly idle, or only running a portion ot their time, we hear, are to be put at full work—at least as full as the reduced number of operatives, by reason of the absence of the many eniolled in the ranks of the army, will warrant, giving material for the labor of the thousands of females, the coming winter, that would otherwise be idle. Tne signs in business circles are unmistakably for the better; and much of the improved feeling can be traced directly to the prompt manner in which the gov ernment has been supplied with money to carry on the wsr. The movement has assured the country that the issue made by the rebels is to be met and vigorously prosecuted to the end, and the more apparent it is that the nor will be a short one the greater the disposition to take part in active business. With this beginning in woolen manu facturer, so intimately connected Is all business, we shall soon see corresponding action in almost all pursuits. The coming winter will, no doubt, bring individual cases of privation and suffering, for which some proper provisions should be made, but the prospect, of employment is much better than a fortnight ago, and is likely stead ly to im prove. With industry, as a rule, canes content, and eventually prosperity. To this end, however, it is quite necessary that the Government credit should be maintained, and, to make this most certain, private capitalists should come up promptly to the aid of the banks in subscribing for the fifty milton loan, whliith has been put in the most, invit ing shaper, ''rtito Siote's or bonds of $lOO bear interest at the rate o two cents per day or $7 30 per year, and at the same rate on all larger sums, which Is paid semi•annuaily, on coupons, which makes it unnecessary to send on the bonds. 1 his is a. good We of interes', and is as safe as the government, without the maintenance of which no stock secu rity is certainly worth anything. There le every inoncement, therefore, for a prompt and liberal response to this call of the government. The nation must have m mey, and it is much wiser to furnish it on the god terms offered than to have to sur render it to force. THE CIVIL\ WAR IN AMERICA ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR. RUSSELL. The London nme,scontains a letter from Mr. Russell, of the date of the 29th. It is briefer than usual. We give a few extracts: The casualties of the day, however, were by no means commensurate with its sever+ ity and anxiety. As to losses, of 'coarse it is beyond anything but imagination to give an estimade. Regiments reported to have been annihilated have turned up quite hale and hearty, neat as imported, on the day of marching home—and fond parents, wives and relatives will be spared many pangs and a great deal of mourning. I think my estimate of killed and wounded was nearly correct. The prisoners may amount to more than 900, but the Feder• alists have lost more heavily than the to" - tale under these heads would show, per haps. It would be rather ridiculous to call it either a hard fought, a bloody, or a glori cue field; but it WM an impor.ant onc; it was a most trying one to the Federalists, who were badly fed and hard worked, in a waterless country, on a July day, for twelve hours; they were exposed to the de morali,zing effects of long continued artil• lery fire. In spite of their want of dis cipline and the very unaccountable rout, the Federalists at first showed alacrity, but after a time they became torpid and difficult to handle. No one questions the general bravery of Americans, native or adopted, on either side; bat a defeat is rendered worse than ridiculous by attempts to turn it into a triumph. Lot the unfor' tunate brave rest content with the sympa thy they deserve, and shun the ovations which are due of the conqueror. Praise and flattery cannot retake a gun, nor save a standard, nor win a battle—even if it be from vox poputi in Broadway or Bowery. It must be granted that the Confeder. rtes feel their losses more severely than the North does. Their Colonels and offi cers ate men of mark, and even of fri. vales killed or wounded one sees notices implying that they belong to good fami lies and are well known people. The O's and Macs and Vons, (few of the latter,) the Core-err/us, Carnerons and Bruggers, prisoners, wounded, or killed, are of less consequence to the social systma of the North than the Hamptons, Prestons and Mannings are to the South. If Mr. Da vis and a few of the leaders were to fall in battle there would be less chance of the South continuing Its struggle with the same heart and confidence; but if all the Cabinet were to go to. morrow from Wash ington the spirit of the Northern States would not be diminished one iota. SUGGESTED GENERAL ATTACK ON TUE It must be that the confederates are de% flcient in the means of transport, or in ac tual force, to make an attack which is so obvious, if they desire to show the north it is not possible to subdue them. The corps which went from Winchester to Ma nassas, andef Johnston, is put by the Federalists at 40,000. Let us take it at half that number. Beauregard and Lee are said to have had 60,000 at Manassas, including, I presume, the forces between it and Richmond. Divide that. again.— There were certainly 20,000 between Mon roe, the Court and Richmond, of whom 10,000 could be soared; and on the western side of the capital of the confederate States there was available at least another corps of 10,000, which could have been readily strengthened by 10,000 or 15,000 more from the south in case of a suprewe effort. There seems no reason not connected with transport, equipment, or discipline why the confederates should not have been able last week to take the field with 75,000 men, in two corps; one quite strong enough to menace the force on the right bank of the Potomac, and to hold it in check, or• to prevent it going over to the other side; the other to cross into Mary. -land, which is now in parts only kept quiet by force, and to advance down on. Washington from the west and north. In the event of success, the political advanta. ges would be very great at home and abroad, and there would be a new base of operations gained close to the enemy's lines, while the advantages of holding the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay would be much neutralized and finally destroyed.— The navy-yard would fall into the enemy's hands. Fort Washington would probably soon follow. Fortress Monroe would be condemned to greater isolation. Bailas delphia itself world be in imminent danger should the confederates attempt greater aggression. But for one, Gen. Beauregard will consent to no plan of operations in which success is not rendered as certain as may be by all possible precautions, and he might not favor a proposal which would lead to dividing an army into two parts, With st.river between them and an enemy on each side.

A report, by no means popular, has obtained some currency, that a change in the Navy Department is necessary, and that:Seeretary Welles will be re- quested4o retire. At this critical pen cal in our public affairs, great capacity is imperative in all our Cabinet. But the best informed friends of the Union here question the propriety of a change that would involve the removal of the present Secretary of the Navy. It is possible that Mr. Welles may have erred in some points, but it is remarkable that those who complain have made no specific charge. He has committed no rash act; he has done nothing for which the country has had cause to regret.— Those who know him best rely with confidence upon his decisions, The offi cersof the navy, so far as I have been able to learn-and I have given this point special attention—have all strong words of praise in his favor. They know"best what he had to .do in bringing up a dilapidated navy; and they, though im patient to see our blockade thorough and complete; know that 2,000 miles of Southern coast (including the inlets) cannot be blockaded in a day, with— as Was the fact when the blockade was decided upon-- only fifty vessels to do it with and a large portion of those not available for that purpose. Secretary Welles• i 3 a man of few words, of excellent judgment, correct decision, and, great firmness. The re jection of the Vanderbilt steamers is a saving to the eon try of millions of dol lars. They -Wire too weak to receive guns; they were too large for blockading where vessels of ten to fifteen, not twenty to twenty-two, feet draught are required; they were not needed for transports; and, moreover, they were not offered at the Government's own price, as is generally supposed, but with such conditions as to make it certain that the owners were secure in the cer tainty of a good round sum for them and altogether more than they could possibly be worth to the navy. In these remarks lam not the mouth piece of the Secretary of the Navy, nor am I giving my own individual opinion. My conclusions are gathered from in telligent and experienced officers of the navy, who, if they discovered inefficien cy in the chief officer of the Depart ment, would permit no fear or favor from that source to prevent a blunt, outspoken expression of sentiment. Equally qualified is Captain Fox, the Assistant Secretary, a man of large ex perienao, quick perception; correct de cision, and prompt action; who, with the Secretary; and that clear-headed, methodical business man, Mr. Faxon, the chief olerk,possesses peculiar qualifi cations fcr the special and vastly impor tant duties of the department whose in threats they have under their charge. Cit cuiar of the secretary of the Treasu ry. The Secretary of the Treasury has just issued a circular of instruction to collectors and other officers of the cus tom, calling their attention to the sot Of Congress further to provide for the collections of duties on imports, and for other purposes, approved the 13th of July last, and to the proclamati an of the President of the United States of the 16th of August in pursuance thereof both of which are annexed. In view of this act and the proclamation, the Secretary directs and instructs the offi cers of, the customs to use all vigi lance in preventing commercial inter course with the inhabitants of States in insurrection excepting in the special oases in which it may be allowed by lincense and permit as the rein set forth. The instructions of the 2d of May and the 12th of July last, heretofore in force, will ba regarded as superseded by the more comprehensive provisions of the act and proclamation. The col lectors, and other officers of the custom will report all seizures made under the proclamation to the proper District At torney, for such proceedings as the law and facts may justify in each ease, and they will also, as soon as practicable, and as frequently afterwards as may be convenient, report their views in re lation to the commercial intercourse contemplated and the permits proper to be granted or with held in the forms accompanying the weekly 'returns re quired by the circular of the sth August last to be made to the Treasury Depart ment. Collectors, and other officers of of the customs, will be careful to state what permits are asked for the shipment of goods by whom asked and the grounds on which the applicati ons are based.— The Secretary especially directs the attention of collectors to the fifth and subsequent sections of the act common ' ly known as the force bill.

Arnold Mr . Harris' Acemantotaus.cap...: titTe" and [From the Baltimore Exchange.] We are permitted to copy the follow ing letter from Mr. A. Harris, who, it will be recollected, entered the Confed erate linei for the purpose of obtaining the body of Col. Cameron: RiculioND, July 28,1861. DEAR:---: You wiWsee all sorts of versions in the papers about the arrest of Magraw and myself, as spies appre hended on the battle field, etc., and .1• wie h you to have the true version given and at the same time have the facts herein mentioned published. Magmw and myself were not taken- as spies.— We left Washington on Monday even uing after the battle, and proceeded to Fairfax Court House, where on Tues day morning we waited the arrival of the advance of the Confederate army; sought out the commanding officer, told him our business, and requested him to forward a written application to per mit us to cross the line. He forwarded it to headquarters, and we waited four hours for the reply. It was a refusal of our requet, and stated that we must be sent on as prioners to Richmond.— This action of the Commanding General has been in consequence of the position of the government at Washington not to treat or recognize the Confed erato States as belligerents, by sending flags of truce, &a. The authorities here regard the visit of Magraw and my self as an attempt to obtain an individual favor, whilst the government will not openly and manfully ask for their other prisoners on any terms. I have no complaints to make, though I have been a prisoner several days. One thing is certain, that if I had known that the government at Washington had determined to carry on this war accord ing to the old savage principle of no ex change of priSoners ' no flags of truce, &o , I never would have ventured out, even on a mission of humanity. I wish you had been with me on the trip to the battle-field and over it, two days after the fight. I wish all the north who have sent forth their best men to invade the south, could have witnessed the scene. Iu my humble opinion no more fighting would be done. For miles before we reached the field dead bodies were strewed along the road, five in one spot; three in another; two stalwart Zouaves in full uniform, swollen to the size of Fallataff and blacker than Othello. Close by, a young aid fine looking officer just breathig his last,and had been there two days without help. The southern army first buried its own dead, but in the meantime, sent althrough the woods hunting for 'the wounded, and behaved with the utmost kindness to all. The reports of barbarities to the wounded are all false. The slaughter was im mense. I passed through one small field where 400 northern men were buried that day, and the men were still at work by moonlight. We were confined twenty-four hours in the same prison with thirty-three officers Among them was Co]. Cor coran. They have no chalice of release until the government at Washington recogoizes the Confederacy as a belliger ent in the fullest sense. That this must come is inevitable—not only a belligerent, but a very pugnacious one at that. Some of these officers told me that they were tired of fighting for a government who gave them three chance for death, viz: to bo killed on the field, to be left to dio if wounded, or to be hanged if taken prisoners; and only one tharce for life, and that to run and escape from the battle field. For hanged they will be to a certainty unless the Savannah prisoners are ex changed. Of this I have no doubt. My regards to all friends. We are well treated. It is so with all the priso ners here. Yours truly, PHILADELPHIA COUNTY CON VENTION. The following resolutions were adopted by the Democracy of Philadelphia: WHEREAS, The Democratic party, in Convention assembled, at this crisis in the history of the conuntry, regards it proper to declare that the Flag of the Union, the Constitution and the laws, and the rights of the people to self-government were ex tended over the original States and ac territory under a Democratic Presi. dent, Thomas Jefferson. That the glory, honor and integrity of the Union and the Flag of the country were maintained in the last war with Eng land, under a Democratic President, James Madison. That nullification and disunion were crushed out by a Democratic President, Andrew Jackson. That the integrity of the Union, a suc cessful war and a glorious peace with Mez• ico, resulting in the acquirement of the golden coast on the Pacific were secured by a Democratic President, James K. Polk. And, it further declares now, that the Democratic party has ever been for the Union, the Flag, the Country, the Consti tution and the security of the people in their Constitutional rights; therefore Resolved, That this Convention pledge the Democracy to sustain the Government of the United States and its officers in all constitutional acts in carrying on the war against rebellion, secession and treason; as a consequence the peace, unity, stability and the permanency of the Union of these States, the sovereignty of the flag over States and Territories ; the undisputed supremacy of the laws and the great glory of a common and united country can only be maintained, secured and perpetuated by the Democracy and the triumph of its principles.
