In the *cell made by Stephen A,
Douglas at.. Chicago, May ]st, ho used
these admir4le and memorable words:
"Whoever is not • prepared to sacrifice
party organizations and platforms on the
altar of his country dues not deserve the
1 support and countenance of honest people.
Rota are we to overcome partizan entipa.
Wits in the Mi 1241.4 of all parties so as to
present a united front in support of our
country? We must cease discussing party
issues, make no illusions to old party tests,
leave no crimination and recriminations,
'indulge in no taunts one against the other,
as to who has been the cause of these
troubles.
"When we shell have rescued the Gov•
erninent and country from its perils, and
seen its flag floating in triumph over every
inch of American soil, it will then be time
enough to inquire - as to who and what has
brought these troubles upon us When we
shall have a country in a Government fur
our children to live in peace and happiness,
it will be time for each of us to return to
our party banners according t,) our own
convictions of right and duly. Let him be
marked as no true patriot who will not
abandon tilt such issues, in lioo:s like this "
"Hit who is not for his country is Against

According to the the Judges,
McClure and Willirms, Messrs. Bigham
and Williams on the Legislative ticket,
Penney as Senator, and R. H. Davis. Di,
rector of the Poor, are very good men and
should he elected. This is complimentary,
inasmuch as :they are on both tickets, and
of course will have no opposition. As to
Messrs Rhodes and Wocds, they are both
very good men, excell(nt men, and the
voters may take their choice: as to the can
didates for Protbencicry, Pinney and
Eaton, and the candidates for Treasurer ,
Floyd and Blackinore all are fit for the
offices they PE Ore to, and should receive
the votes of all entitled to that happy
privilege. We hope every body will now
understand how to vote.

A. .1. Davis, a Police Sergeant in i
Charleston, S. C., was dispatched after
a prisoner to Nashville, Tenn.
r He
there got a pass to Kentucky, and made
tracks for Washington. He had an in
terview with the President, Tuesday, to
whom he made a full statement of mat- ,
tem and things in Secessiondom. Ile
states that there are but few troops in
Charleston, about 900 at Fort Sumpter,
and GOO on Sullivan's Island, Half of
these were just from the country.
They were throwing up sand batteriei
for coast defence. Among the working
class, in and out of the army, the Union
sentiment predominates, and they only
await an opportunity to manifest it open
ly. The Hatteras blow was keenly felt
by the rebel leaders. 'Provisions are
very scarce. Wheat flour is sold at
18e per pound. There is no pork, and
specie was commanding a large pre.
minim
MEM!
Federal prisoners from Richmond
were brought, in as Mr. Davis left. lie
conversed with Co!. Corcoran, who is
nearly well. The Irish population w.,s
anxious, but feared, to exhibit sympa_
thy for him. Only three vessels have
succeeded in running the blockade at
Charleston. The Confederate troops
seen by Mr. Davis on his way to Ken
tucky were poorly armed, generally with
long bowie-knives and shot-guns.
AD VICO; FROM Max ito advices
have been received from Vera Cruz and
the city of Mexico. The new postal treaty
with the United States had not been rati•
lied, the Mexican Con gross having adjourn•
el before it was received by the Govern•
merit. The impression was very general
that, as sown as Congress was - convened the
treaty would he ratified. There was little,
if any, improvement in the aspect of
affairs The revolution was still progress
ing to Bevel-Al of the Sfatcs. At Vela
Cruz, the English, French and Spanish
fleets were shortly expected. The object
or purpose of this iormidatile expedition
was not known, bat it wa conj
that all the principal forts along the coast
would soon be iu p.si.:es.iion of these Gov.
ernruents.
I.'irizig into Each Illlicl
Naarly every movement of our troops
forward since the war began has been char
acterincil by such deplorable nlloire as that
at Munson's Hill, where two
phis regiments fire-d info each Merl., anc
slaughtered a dozen or more under Lb,
impression that they were engaging an en
emy. Such accidents, it is :sod, are com
mon in night attacks, but they need not
be if the officers proporly understand their
duties. and take pains to instruct the men
:n theirs. Night,signals are a simple rein•
dy against siteh mistakes. Tee real ca-ise
oi,such iiiishe.pi is to he found iri the lack
of experience in the tru,pi, ar.,i No:Jai:ly
of military knowledge and aeon

raw recruits like thoiri which tired into
each other at Munson's, Hill, some of whom
had only if ft this ety but a few ii.u3s ago,
little could be expected exesiot that
would tie inexperienced and excitable I:,
Mittie. But even raw troops can be r•i

accounts given of the affair, that the ohlioeN

nem flTid the new situation in which they
found themselves pieced. If officers will
not learn their duld s so as to perform them
intelligently, tinder ail eircumstunem,they
ought to be deprived of their commands,
for it is only murder to put men into the
field under those wbo neither kn iw hew to
lead them int, action smieesstully or get
them out safely if a retreat is required.—
Officers who can control themselves can
generally e-nlrol the men under them,
Moreover, those in command of regiments
should beat their posts contln daily, getting
farailiarizxl themselves to their commands,
familiarizing the men to their various du
ties. and establishing confidence in and re•
dance upon each other, which is the
only way to make them co operate elll
ciently together, and to produce that per
t, ct accord without which the dangers of
the battle field are largely increased.
The Confederates are in a pickle
They have mustered plenteously, been
pretty well peppered, have managed
nicely so far as concerns all spies, but
have been obliged to be gingerly with
their salt. They are about out of the
latter condiment. A late dispatch
mentions that they are iu possession of
abundance of provisions, including
whisky, but have not sufficient of the
saline substance to feed their cows.
This will be bad news to Jeff. Thomp
son, whose "cattle upon ten thousand
hills,"to which he referred with an in ,
correctness of quotation, in his war
snorting proclamation, must experience
much intestinal commotion in conse
quence. The soldiers, too, will experi
ence some. hardship from being depri
ved of salt. There may be enough of
the article in their bacon, but this kind
of food is getting scarce in Pixie, and
AB for bread and beans without salt—
to say nothing of beef—the thing is
not to be thought of without retching.
They have the briny sea as a last re
sort, yet it requires an elaborate pro.
cess to filter and condense it, and the
salt is brackish and bad when thus ob
tained, Truly the case is harrow
ing.
ISo it turns out that the seceders are
not altogether independent yet. They
are in need of lead, leather, medicines,
I ice, oil, wool, pins and needles, thread,
cutlery, pens, and numberless other ar
ticles besides salt The Raleigh (N.
C-) Standard, in view of the scarcity of
tea and coffee, recommends the use of
the leaves and twigs of the Yopon, a
spontaneous evergreen'trowing on the
banks of the streams; but it is not ev
ery necessity for which a substitute can
be fund. The Confederates cannot
eat their cotton, cannot, cure diseases
with it, cannot obtain all the light they
want from it, and cannot with it sew a
button en a shirt. Cotton is not so
omnipotent as some have imagined.
Its usefulness cannot be gainsaid, it is
true; but the God of nature did not ex
pend all His resources in its creation.
There are other things of vast benefits
in this world, and they do not all grow
or exist in the Confederate States. We

whether, after all their preparation, the
rebel foreoF, will have the temerity to
attempt t•.a cross the Potomac, either
above or below this city. It must be
as evident to their leaders as it is to us,
that such an effort can bring to theta
nothing but a disastrous defeat. In
the mean time, their forces have nearly
consumed all the available provisicns in
Virginia. A dependence upon its ex
hausted resources presents a sorry pros
pect for the winter campaign. So long
as Kentucky, and its vast graneries,
af
forded opportunities to procure for them
and transport them pork, beef, and
grain, they were sale enough; but to
be shut out from Kentucky is starvation
to their army.
It is a military necessity for them to
recover the ground lost there by the
active demonstration of Kentucky's
hostility to Se3essien. To do this, and
to secure to themselves the vast accu
mulations of pork and other provisions
at Louisville, and grain and cattle in
other parts of the State, they must
strike without delay, before the Union
ists there have become fully armed and
organized. There are now not more
than ten thousand Union soldiers de
fending Louisville. In ten days more
there will be thirty thousand there, and
an almost unlimited amount of artillery.
The Union men arc hurrying to the
Union camps, with their own shot-guns
and rifles. If Kentucky is not con
quered in a week, the conquest will
have to be abandoned altogether.
These considerations, it isbelieved,
have induced the rebel chiefs to Bend
forward to Kentucky by railroad, via
Nashville, a large part of the forces re
cently in Virginia. If this is true,
the abandonment of the lines in front
of Washington is partially accounted
for, and it is believed that 13ackner has
been largely re.inforeed from the rebel
army of the Potomac.

Loan of Filty
We have already stated that the
banks of New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia have a, , _ , reed to take up the ,
second instalment of fifty millions of .
the National loan. At the meeting
of the Bank Committees in New York
on Saturday, the following proceedings
took place. The remarks of Mr. Gal
latin and Secretary Chase explain all
the points wl ich have been at issue
between the banks and the govern
ment.
MR. GALLATIN'S ADDRESS TO MR
"Mr. Chase : Experience has , damon.
strated that the patriotic efforts of the
people, initiated by the banks, to carry
the government loans requires the co
operation of the Treasury Department,
in order to fix upon a practical mode
of so working the details of receipts
arm disbursements as to secure per
fect harmony between the monetary op.
orations of the government and the
people on a specie basis.
at the present race of government
disbursement, it is obviously impossi
.ible to pay out .pecie and have it re
turn to the banks fast enough to main
tain the specie ba-i, upon which the
currency and the wealth of the country
are established.
"It is not Mgt' a (1111... , I ion of material
resources nor of capital. These would
seem abundant, and the favorable con
dition of the foreign ex c han ges p rom i_
srs to continue so long as no great re
vulsion in any European country for

C. 2,8 to draw sneeic from us.
"The quantity of specie in the
country and in the bane is considered
sutliciont, while used in banking or for
purposes of ordinary business, to main
tain existing values, and to fund a na
tional debt of two hundred and fifty or
three hundred millions per annum.
But it is not sufficient to perform tlifes
functions in a two-fold ratio. if it be
transferred to government, even for
the period required to complete the cir
cle of payment, it would soon all be
absorbed, and thin all future loans to
government and all existing values of
property and wealth would fall to the
ground, a result which no patriot can
contemplate in this eventful crisis with
out deep cmoticn and pain'ul solicitude.
fur the welfare of the country.
"ln order to avoid impending cabin
itiol of this nature, it would seem de
sirable that we siu:uhl arrive at a more
perfect understanding with the govern
ment to determine tl.ese three ques
tions :
'• 1. If the banks cannot he made de
positories to tlio extent of the loan ta
ken by ca• h. and drawn upon individu
ally and directly for actual dis: ursc ,
nien:A, may not One bank be selected
in each city as the depository, repre,
sentinp; all the banks in that city, and
he drawn upon for actual disbursements
to the extent of the loan taken by the
kinks it represents.
1 it be impracticable thu - 4 to
draw upon the bayks for actual dis
buret-Dents, may not the rmonitt of a
liberal working capital for useh sub
treasury be determined upon, as near
as pfsible, which the banks shall be
called upon to replenish as fast ai it
shall be diminished by actual disburse
ments, or redemption of demand notes ?
";;. May not the issue of demand
notes be confined to the soldiers and
sailors, and to general purposes only in
localities to which the transmission of
coin is hazardous or inconvenient?
0 Il t• 1:1111,1.1 Ca USC
In regard to the first two questions,
it may be proper to state that there is
no disposition in any quarter to with-
hold from government the most abun
dant supplies of money. That is un,
doubtodly well knoivn to the govern
went, and it should be generally under
stood by the public. 'The only ques
tion at issue relates to details as already
observed.
"In the act of Congress authorizing
the loans, a clause was inserted author ,
izing the government to deposit a bank's
subscription to the loan in that bank.
A difference of opinion as to the mean
ing of this clause has arisen. It would
scorn to an ordinary business mind
that the power to keep money in a bank
conferred authority to make that •hank
a depository, to be drawn upon in the
discretion of the depositor. With all
due deference to the legal authorities
of the goveratnent, I would submit
that this is a time when we are called
upon to interpret such acts of Congress
with a view only to the best interests
of the country. No loss can fall upon
government from failure of any bank,
as-the specie is now a common fund.
"Upon the third point, the issue of
demand notes, I believe I can say en
*Of of every bank officer, and cvely
intelligent business man in this (tit::
that objections arise solely from appn , •
hensions of excessive issues
shall degenerate into an irredeemable
paper currency. No objection is made
to their use in the modes suggested,
and to a limited amount. But it can
not be too deeply impressed upon all
connected with the monetary affairs of
the government and people, that such
a limitation, as well as a limitation of
the workin,b capital in coin to be hold
by the sub-treasuries' has become in
dispensable, it' we would avoid danger.
ous panics and maintain specie pay
ments. If government should con tinue
the accumulation of coin in the
Treasury from the proceeds of the loan;
to meet current obligations or vast is
sues of demand notes, of course, the
banks must be drained, panic must en,
sue, and what then would be left in
the banks to pay the government with?
Specie payments, might be continued
for a short time by the government;
br.t that time would be very brief, fur
the coin would be hoarded by tio peo
ple as fast as disbursed.
"The interests of the government,
the people and the banks arc one and
identical. Each is indispensable to the'
other. By a hearty co-operation upon
a basis like that suggested, or which
may be suggested by the experience of
others, it would seem possible to avert.
the dread calamities. . which -are invol

he would do all that he could legally to
facilitate the work leg of the details Of
the receipts and:disbutitements of the
proceeds of the gevernment loans; and
that he had no doubt 64 they could be
so managed as to obviate all difficulties.
After Mr. Chase - had retired the fol
owing resolution, offered by Mr. Galla
in, was adopted, viz
"Resolved, That as the theory of the
ability of the banks to take the loan of
the government was that the gold paid
by them into the Sub-Treasury would
not acoumulate therein, but flow back
immediately into their cofferS; and as
he practical working of things indi
cates that the return of specie is slower
than its payment by - the banks, that
therefore the banks respectfully make
it a condition of their loans, that the
specie shall not be allowed to accumu
late in the Sub-Treasuries of blew York,
Boston, and Philadelphia, above the
lowest practicable balance.

A th PRA Y Elt.-Ofi the morning
of Fast day, September 26, the editor
“f th 3 Chicago Post suggested to cler
gymen of that city the following prayer
for the occasion to the Throne of Grace:
"We pray Thee to incline the hearts
of all quartermasters and Government
contracters to the ways of rightcousneis
and honesty. Open their eyes to their
transgressions, and convince them that
they are great rascals Show unto them
the way of truth, and set before their
eyes the light of the revised statutes, es
peo;ally that section which relates to
the crime of larceny. Convict them of
their iniquities. and, if possible, sent,
ence them to the Penitentiary.
"As for generals in command of our
troops; we pray Thee to convince them
that a good judge of Otard and Bour
bon isn't always the best qualified to
plan or execute a campaign. (Jive them
more knowledge and less conceit..
Teach them that the parable of the
sower was not promulgated with refers
once to military operations, and that
whose scatteieth his soldiers abroad, all
over the state of Missouri and elsewhere,
shall find that his labors will not yield
very abundantly in the harvest. Aad,
finally, open Thou their eyes to the fact
that the practice of setting traps for
rebel armies, bated with a handful of
men, while it may bo in accordance
with trapper tactics in the Rocky Moun
tains, does not always work satisfactorily
in other parts of the country."
The closing sentences in the above
unmistakably refer to FREMONT, and
condemns his practice of baiting PRICE,
the rebel General in Missouri, upon
such a hook a s s Lexington.
ANOTHER. ROMAN CATIIOLIC
—The Roman Catholic Bishop of lowa
has addressed the following patriotic
letter to the Adjutant-General of that
:te:
"DußuQuE, lowa, Sept. 17
lion. Sir and Dear Friend: I have
the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your esteemed favor of the iGth instant,
and agree with you in saying that the
cause of the Union is the cause of law,
of order and of justice. You are aware
that I ever avoid all matters of a•polit
ical nature as foreign to my, sacred du
ties, yet in this present hour of trial,
when the honor and the happiness of
our na•ion are at stake; when some
prejudiced mind may construe my si
lence into a disrespect fer you, whose.
friendship I highly prize, or into a °dui.-
Mal opposition to our national govern
ment—the g,overnment of the United
States, the only one to whom I owe fe
'alty—it may not be departing too far
from my usual course to say that my
feelings and sentiments are for the Un-.
ion, and though peace is now the dar
ling object of my ambition, yet I would
not consent to purchase peace at the
sacrifice of principle;
"With the deepest respect,
"Yours most sincerely, •
"CLEMENT SMYTH,
"Bishop of Dubuque.

Maryland—Pataitic Letter from Bev
., k-A - pieerrerdsts.hiertatimp-r,
Tne following letter front Ileverdy
Johnson, of Illlthnore has just been
published :
"To the Editors of the Baltimore Alne4 ;
"Gentlemen : I regfekto lean hat
some of our Union Triands fire*bt.
log my acceptance of thll';nolnitia: to
the House of Delegatiii fmlit te ti z,
B'
more county, with whirl their lion
Convention recently honored Me.
"I never for a moment hesitated
acceptance. It is true that the trust,
should the people of the county confer
it, will involve much inconvenience
and sacrifice, but w,hat are these_ to a,
loyal citizen in this period of' °watt:ten
trial End peril? She is' entitled to the
service of all her eons, in any situation
in which: is.supposed they may be
able to succor her. . .
"A rebellion, such as the- civilizes
world has never before known for
wickedness and insanity, not only with.
out justification, but without even the
pretext of provocation, is involving our
state (thank God! yet, as ever, and td
be forever, in plottsr's despite, true to
the Union,) in alarm and affliction,
already bringing wretchedness to many
a household.
"Unless we-prove forgetful,- totally,
ot the lessons of our forefathers, ob t
nylon q, especially, of the teachings of
Washington, re g ardless ot the opinions
of the great and good men of other
climes, friends of constitutional liberty,
heretofbre, in their struggles to secure
it, animated by the brightness of our
example, we will remain in the Union,.
and joining heart and hand with the
faithful everywhere, expend our treas
ure and our blood in perpetuating what
our fathers expended their treasure and
blood in establishing.
"Discarding all mere party prompt
;tip as not only unsuited but degrading
dip the occasion, it is our imperative
obligation, as we reverence the dead
and love the living, to rally around
the Administration— cheering, applaud
ing, aiding them, to the fullest meass
tire of our ability, in their present
mighty efforts to crush the treason.
These efforts must succeed. No cause
can long be maintained which rests on
broken faith and violated pledges.
From these we know,the world knows,
the rebellion originated. The conspire.
atom who plotted it have for years been
stealthily engaged in the almost fiend-.
ish purpose. Oaths—what were they to
them? What were they ever to trai
tors ? They servo only the better to
conceal and work out the intended
treason. And, develqied, by whom arc
their armies led ? By men edneated,
clothed, fed, at the expense of the na
tion, and owing whatever honest fame
they possr as to its protection and con
fidence. And how aro they disohar'
gin„ their traitorous task? Deluding
still further the mistaken but heat
citizens of the South, they, from - the
first, have lost no occasion to fill their
ears with the grossest falsehoods, li
belling with that end, the very soldiers
with whom, or under whose command,
they had assisted in maintaining. the
honor of oar flag—soldiers who they
knew ore as linmane as they are gal
lant and honorable.
"A caw(' -o beginning, so maintain
ed, cannot long withstand the rightful
authority, and therefore the almost un
limited power of the government--a
p,overnmant from its birth securing
throughout its entire limits more ;of
individual happiness and social pros
perity than man ever before enjoyed,
and never more fruitful of these bles
sings than at thevvery moment when
Itreason raised its unhallowed hands, for
the sale of mere individual aggrandize
ment and power, to destroy it.
'•What is to be done in such an *ter
gency true men can easily decide. The
question, in the language ef 'Henry
Clay, in 150, when anticipating such
a catastrophe, admits of 'but one possi•
ble answer—the power, the authority,
and the dignity of yhe government
ought to be maintained, and resistance
put down at every hazard.' "
"Let the voice of Maryland in the
coming election speak trumpet-tongued
that determination, and beside that it.
will, in a great measure, rescue us from"
the direst calamities of the conflict, it
will carry dismay to the rebel leaders,
and does much, if not more, to arrest
them in their unholy career than the
loss of battles. With great regard,
your obedient servant, i
