In tho speech made by Stephen A.

these admirable and memorable words :

as to who has been the cause of these
troubles.
"When we shall have rescued the Gov
ernment and country from its perils, and
seen its flag floating in triumph over every
inch of American soil, it wilt then be time
enough to inquire as to who and what has

DEL FREMONT AND THE COI
ERNHENT.
The Gazette is so thoroughly infected
with disunion abolitionism that it can
deem nothing right which does not direct
ly war upon slavery. To destroy slavery,
it is perfectly willing that every other
interest of the nation should be abolish
ed,and that the Union may go to pieces,
unless the Gazette's ultra doctrines can
be established.
In its issue of yesterday it has an arti
cle attacking the Administration for its
course in stating that Gen. Fremont's late
proclamation relating to the emancipa
tion of the slaves of rebel owners must
be interpreted in conformity with the
recent act of Congress bearing on the
question.
The tenor of the argument of the
Gazette is that there is no authority in
our government, no binding force in our
constitution, no duty of obedience to our
laws.. Its reasoning would lead men to
believe that the Gazette acknowledged
no loyalty to the power of the Union
mid thought there were no constitutional
rules of action which any man was
botuad to acknowledge or obey. An
article like that which the Gazelle has
promulged, had in it appeared in the
New York Day Book, or News, or the
Baltimore Exchange, would have been
justly regarded as meriting public con
denaauttirs:i. It is more dangerous ap
pearing in a paper which professedly
sustains the Government in this war. It
is a direct and malignant attack upon
the authority of the President to enforce
the laws of the land, as adopted by Con
gress, and places the individual opinion
and military dictum of a General above
that of the Commander-in Chief. I t
styles the President's letter to General
Fremont to be " like a considerable roll
of official tape dangling in the way of
Fremont's sword."
Now is "Fremont's sword" or his pro
clamation higher authority than the
laws of the land or the orders of his
supenors, both military and civil? Gen.
Fremont's proclamation being taken as
implying more than it expressed, had
produced a general stampede southward
from Missouri. Jett. Thompson had
issued ,a proclamation threatening to ex-
ecettftone federal prisoner for every rebel
executed by General Fremont under his
recent proclamation. The effect of the
proclamation, no matter what may have
been ite intention, was evidently work-
ing detriment to the interests of the
Union. Wisely and humanely, and as a
true and loyal President of the Union
of American States, Mr. Lincoln modi•
fled the manifesto of the Pathfinder
down to the requirements of the act o
Congress, and for this the Gazelle berates
_ - -
him and says it " should have preferred
to see both the sword and the sword-arm
_ _ •
of General Fremont left entirely free
and unincumbered, under existing eir
cumstances„to deal with Missouri rebels
without the resistance of any drawback
or deadweight whatever !" Has the day
come When Generals of Divisions are to
be esteemed as military dictators, bound
by no law except . ,their own dictatorial
opinions ? Is there no power in the
government which individuals can not
override ? Are such papers as the
Gazette., and the ultra-abolitionists who
think with it, to be permitted, in a law
abiding community, to "prefer" tha
Fremont, should exercise unrestrained
Power, any more than Jeff. Davis or any
other man? The people of this Union
have elected their chief magistrate,
enacted the laws by which they and he
iMaltrtde their conduct, and they who,
like the k Gazetta, are willing to "prefee'
illegal 16'14,1 - ittlthority, and to find
fault with moderate and right orders
from the national Administration, a re
plainly sowing seeds of discord and dis
union among the people of the country.
The right of the Government to con
fiscate rebel property is admitted on all
sides. It is a customary law of civilized
warfare. But the moment the slave
question becomes mixed with it it
becomes embarrassing, and while no
one objects to the confiscation of the
property, slaves included, of men in
arms against the government, and who
are contributing to the support of the
war, the Union men of both the Free
and Slave States see that to make this a
war of emancipation, and solely for the
purpose of the emancipation of slaves,
would inevitably destroy, and not pre
serve the Union. The eradication of sla
very, even if the Union and the Govern
ment go with it, seems to be what the
rue desires.
The President's letter does not pro
pose to exercise any power with refer
ence to the confiscation of slaves not
conferred upon him by law. The ob
ject of the war, as announced by Con
gress, and recognized by all the people
who are not of the fanatical abolition
stamp of the Gazett, is, the restoration
of the Union as it was, with all the guar
anties of the Constitution to the several
States. Anything which retards this
object is wrong, and anything calculated
to create:dissatisfaction with the govt rn•
ment is wrong. Neitl - er our armies nor
our generals have the right nor the
power to interfere with the domestic in
stitutions of the States, even although
in rebellion. But at the same . time
where slaves are actually employed in
doing the work of rebellion, they be
come the subjects of confiscation, like
any other property contraband of war.
They become, as property, amenable to
all the laws governing property in times
of war, As this war is one for the Union,
and everything calculated to spread the
rebellion is against the interest of the
Union cause, the President has acted
wisely in his modification of General
Fremont's proclamation, the
the contrary notwithstanding.
Clorlous K entucky
The issue in Kentucky is sharply de
fined. The sovereign power of the
State has declared the position of the
State so plainly and with so much em
phasis that neither Governor Mageffin
nor Senator Breckenridge can longer
affect to regard it as -equivocal. And
it has been upon "State sovereignty"
that these gentleman have made their
stand. They have held that every State
way determine its own relations to
other States and to the Federal Gov
ernment, and that ever/ citizen must
if he be loyal and true, abido by that
detelmination. Now let us see what
they will du with their doctrine. Let
us see in what attitude they will place
themselves towards "State ri•,hts."—
Let us ace Utley will stand with Ken
tucky for the Union or against it for
the enemies of the Union and of Ken
tucky.
No other State presents so grand a
moral spectacle as Kentucky. The
loyalty of no other people has been so
severely tested as hers, and 11011 C main
tain it at so great a hazard and cost.—
er recent action is with more to the
cause of the Union than would have
been a victory at Bull nun. Had she
been less firm—had she undertaken to
pursue a position of neutrality between
loyalty and rebellion—it is impossible
to estimate how much the complications
of the war would have been increased.
The Seal of the State
It is a fact which, we believe, has
not yet been mentioned in the papers,
that Col. Marshall, in command of the
United States forces at. Lexington, Mo.,
some days ago took possession of a quan
tity of the public property of the State
which had been secreted in that place.
It seems that in the flight of Governor
Jackson from the Capital, ho took with
him a large number of books and pa
pers belonging to the State Government
together with the great seal of the State.
This property was transferred to Lex
ington, where it was stared in one of
the rooms of the City Hotel, to await
the call of the fugacious Executive.--
On learning of its whereabouts, Col.
Marshall directed that it be secured for
the purpose of replacing the documents
&e., in Jefferson City.
~ M ull—Sllls.7 ,
It is said that the prisoners taken at
Hatteras Inlet were as ignorant a set of
beings as can be found even among the
uncivilized tribes of Indians. Ono
whole company with but half a dozen
exceptions, could not write their own
names on the muster rolls, but made
their marks. This is your glorious chiv
alry of the South, who are so much sup
erior to the mechanics and mud sills
of the free States.
In contrast with this,tbat writer who
has visited many of the regiments,
around Washington says .of the soldiers
composing those regiments, that "they
have intelligence unknown to any other
army in the world, and without this,
there is no true bravery. For instance,
a regiment that I was visiting a few
days since, claimed to have in their
ranks three hundred school-masters,
and it was no unusual thing for them to
send out a thousand letters in a single
day. It is on such "mud-sills" as
these, that we are building the temple
of Republican Freedom, broad, deep,
high, and enduring."

ARREST OF JAMES A. M'MASTERS.
The New York correspondent of the
Ledger gives the following account Of the
arrest of the editor of the N. Y. Freeman's
Journal, who was taken to Fort Lafayette
on Monday last:
Mr. James A. McMasters, editor of the
Freeman's Journal, was this afternoon ar.
rested in his editorial room, Tryoa Row,
and conveyed to Fort. Lafayette, agreeably
to an order from the State Department at
Washington, The Journal, it will be re
membered, was one of the papers presented
by the Grand Jury, and the circulation of
which, through the mails, was prohibited.
The name of the publication, thereupon,
was changed to the Freeman's Appeal, but
the tone of the editorials being as hostile
to the government as ever, the govern•
ment deemed it its duty to suppress it, by
placing its proprietor under arrest. Mr.
McMasters betrayed much feeling when
the officers waited upon him, so much so
that it was deemed advisable to put hand
cuffs upon him; though this part of the
performance, it is reported, was done at
the solicitation of the prisoner himself.
This arrest has created more talk than
any that has yet been effected. McMas•
tars was a leading Douglas Damocrat, and
wee a delegate to the People's State Cons
vention, riaently held at Syracuse. Hl3
paper was one of a semi-religious charac ,
tor, and spoke for a numerous and reopen..
table class of Rqman Catholics, who never
had any s)mpathy, however, fur his oppo
sition to the Government. Some years
since it enjoyed the distinction of being an
organ of Archbishop Hughes ; but the rad
ical tendencies of the editor were such,
cv on then, that that ein?lient prelate, in
deference to his own conservative convic•
Lions, was constrained to cut loJen from
him. At the same time he had many warm
frion,'s who deeply regret that his india ,
cretions should have made him an enemy
of his roar try.
THE 17TH OF AEPTEMBE
Tho anniversary of the adoption of the

Philadelphia by a Grand Military Parade
and a meeting in Independence Square.
The people of all shades of political party
participated in the celebration. An elo

M. Dallas, and also an address by Mayor
Henry. Tai' latter said:
"Doring sevenly-four years our steady

statement to show the absurdity of both
assertion.s:
In the battle of Magenta 20,000 Aus

000 were taken prisoners and 12,000
muskets and 30,000 knapsacks were
picked up. At Solferino, the Austrian

victory there lost Lombardy to Austria;

When news of Napoleon's victory at
Austerlitz reached William Pitt he was
almost paralyzed with dismay, suprise,
and anger. He grasped the dispatch,
and coavulsively,crushing it up in his,
hand, exclaimed with the energy of
conviction and grief, "Then we may
roll up the map of Europe for the next
twenty years," In six weeks he was
a dead man—heart-broken by a victory
which made Napoleon virtual master of
the continent of Europe. In that bat
tle 10,000 of the Austro-Russian Army
were left dead on the field, 2,000 were
taken prisoners, 185 pieces or cannon,
400 caissons and 45 standards were cap
turd ThA French last 12,000 men
and Napoleon's force of 80,000 men
was opposed by 81,000 of the allied
army. That was a battle, which at
once placed Northern Europe at the
cocquerer's feet, and closed the cam
paign by the peace of Presburg.
Main Body ofttie Rebel Army at !lianas
A balloon reconnoissance developes
he fact that the body of the enemy that
advanced on Saturday, fell back behind
Munson's Hill; that there are also large
camps of Rebels at Centreville and Fair
fax Court House, and that the main
body of the army had fallen back to
Maaassas, and is now encamped there.
There is no doubt that tho enemy is
making an effort to persuade our forces
out of their intrenchments, fearing to
attack us but preferring to be attacked,
so that they can fall back behind their
masked batteries again.

Spain anti the Amer can Rebels
The proclamation of the Cuban Gov_
ernor-General, announcing the Spanish
decision for allowingcommercial privi
leges in Cuban ports to vessels bearing
the Confederate flag, is an important
sign of the times. Yet it will probably
have less practical value than many
may at first sight be inclined to as
cribe to it. Its commercial consequence
in the dollar-and-cent ()sped, depends
chiefly on the extent to which our
cruisers may secure the blockade of the
rebel coast. This Spanish movement
should stimulate us, if we needed fresh
stimulant, to render that blockade so
thorough that little or nothing under
the rebel flag can escape our squadron
on the short route between the Cuban
coast and our southern ports.
Spain owes us no good will for our
early recognition of the independence
of her former colonies on this continent
—which independence our people large
ly aided her rebels in achieving. Her
grudge against our republic is embit
tered by our subsequent governmental
and filibustering efforts to wrest Cuba
from her sway. Yet,, in this latter
connection, it is particularly notewor
thy that the rebel states, whose com
merce she is now favoring, are the pre
oise portions of our republic which in
sisted most strenuously on severing the
"ever faithful isle" from her dominion. ,
Arreht of Col. F. P. Blair. Jr
In regard to the arrest of this officer
lie St. Louis Republican of Monday
We understand that Col. F. P. Blair,
Jr., of this city, was ordered yesterday
afternoon by the Provost Marshal, to
report himself under arrest. Various
rumors are afloat in reference to the
cause of this proceeding. The reason
that we hear most generally assigned
is, that it was on account of a species
of insubordination, such as using disre
spectful language when alluding to su
perior offcers. Of the grounds of the
arrest, however, we have no means, at
present, of speaking with confidence,
though our information is direct as to
the fact itself.

street Begging.
Everybody must have remarked how
much the nuisance of street begging,
has recently increased in Our midst.
Vagrants go about from door to door,
begging impudently and importunately
and a general, and annoying description
of mendicity is that practised by young
children in the streets. They are per
fect pest., running the streets at all
hours and haunting everybody's door
Is it not time that this nuisance should
be put down by the aid of the police .!
===
There are now fifty-six infantry regi
ments authorized in this state. Twenty
three of these aro in active servioe in
Western Virginia and in Missouri,
five ready for marching orders in camp,
seventeen nearly full in camp, and six
teen in process of organization for camp.
There is good renson to believe all will
be full, at least by October Nth.
RECRUITING for the regular army Is said
to be nearly extinct so far as Now York is
concerned. It is not unlikely that the
governmont may ;mon to drafting before
many weeks have passed. Tho West is
now furnishing nearly all the volunteer
soldiors for the war.
TIT IC popular aan is progressing very
satisfactorily. The government has al
ready been advised of subscriptions to
the amount of $9,000,000. In this city the
people aro coming up bravely to the work
of sustaining their government. Mr. Josh
ua Hanna, the government agent here ,
with several assistants, is busy during the
business hours of ovary day revoking the
peoplos' subscriptions.
ANoTuns editor of the Baltimore Kx
chanye, has been arrested and tho paper Las
been discontinued, its chief supporters
having gone the way of the editors. So.,
cession is being fast squelehod out. IL does
not appear probable now for the rebols to
attack Washington from Me Nurth, as
they have boasted heretofore that they in.
trenched themselves to do.
United States Mint
A small gold coinage having been lately
needed by the Government, the Mint, dur
ing the whole of late month and the first
ten days of this month, was occupied three
days in each week (Joining half and quar
ter Nigh's, the remaining three days being
employEd on double eagles. Now that the
Government demand for small coin is not.
so pressing, a return has been made entire•
ly in the gold coinage to double eagles, in
order to accommodate banks and the bul
lion dealers in furnishing gold for the new
National Loan subscriptions.
Three millions of dollars of gold bulliton
are now in the vaults, which will at once
be coined. The coinage of one million of
dollars in double eagles requires four days.
The entire mint ooinage thus far, this
month, exceeds, in gold, silver attic copper,
three millions of dollars.
Each succeeding year exceeds its prede.
censor in receipt of bullion. Tho receipts
from California, for the twelve months
preceding the Ist of Juno last, amounted,
in round numbers, to $22,000,000. The
Kansas mines yielded, in that period; $2,-
091,000, against $626,000 the year before,
a very considerable increase, which, it is
thought, will be augmented during the
coming term, notwithstanding the present
enlistments.
Of domestic silver bullion, $600,000 was
received during the year preceding the Ist
of June last, of which $200,000 was from
Washoo region, $13,000 from Lake Super.
joy ' $12,000 from Arizona and $6,008 from
North Carolina. The rernuining $ 36 9,k
000 was procured from the ore of Cali
fornia and Kansas gold, which contains
ten per cent. of silver.

eite--Th&Doetrine of Non
intercourse.
Lieutenant Colonel Bale, the efficient
commandant of Forts Hamilton and La,.
fayette, thoroughly understands his duties
respecting the strict; guardianship of the
rebels and traitors under his charge. A
day or two since a gentleman of this city
went down to Fort Hamilton with a note
from an official source, asking the Colonel
"if hfs duties would permit" to allow the
bearer to visit Mr.,one of the most
distinguished guests of te nation at Fort
Lafayette.
The Colonel knew his visitor to be as
loyal as need be, read the note, and then
said:
"My dear sir, I would give twenty dol
lars to see Mr. myself. He was for
merly an old and esteemed friend of mine,
and I should be delighted to pass an hour
with him• ' but my official position and my
orders forbid such an Interview. The only
communication I have had with him has
been through one of my officers. Only yes.
terdsy his sister came here with a priest and
begged permission to see him. The fami
ly is Catholics, and I am a Catholic my
self, but I was obliged to refuse their ap•
plicatlon. No one, excopring the proper
officers in charge, can have any intercourse
with my prisoners."
.Just then the mail from the city was
brought into Colonel Barke's office. There
was twenty ot• thirty letters addressed to
the prisoners. Colonel Burke looked them
over and picked out one. "There is a let
ter fur Mr. --, and I know the hand
which addressed It ; the letter is
from his sister, but I cannot send it to him.
As you know the family, you may open
and read it. I shall be obliged to; as I
open all letters which come too or from the
prisoners. Their family letters I glance
at, and if there is anything important to
communicate, the purport of the letter is
sent to the person to whom it is addressed.
My orders with regard to the prisoners are
very strict, and I. obey them."
"May I leave my card for Mr. —?"
said the visitor.
"Certainly, you may write him a note
if you wish." The visitor wrote a note,
merely stating that ho had called, ,tic , and
Col. Burke sent it by a sergeant.
"I'. must be very much like state prison
over there." "Oh, no," said the Colonel,
"the prisoners have nothing to do, plenty
to eat, plenty of air and exercise. They
have the Tun of the fort at proper hours.—
Do you son that man leaning against the
door way !" "Yes." "Well, let me set
the I think that is Mr -- ." He
hotel, handed the glass to the visitor,
and it was Mr. --- The visitor returned
to the city with the following consolation
from the G.lonel : you comedown
to see Mr. -- and you have seen him."
And the Colonel bade his visitor a court°,
ous farewell.—N. V. Post.
