liar The New York Evening Post, one
of the ablest and most ultra of the Re
publican press of the country, alluding
to the fact of the Southern leaders, in
the beginning of their revolt, relying
upon sympathy from the Democracy of
the North, remarks :
"The seceders have not divided the
North ; but, on the other hand, with every
step that they have made, they have only
aroused and concentrated the unanimity of
the North. All political parties vie with osch
other in their expressions of fidelity to the
Union. Four hundred thousand troops are
in the field, with ample munitions and sup
plies, and five hundred millions of money
are ready to be pledged to the prosecution
of the war."
We do not copy this paragraph because
Of its containing anything new or re
markable, but simply to contrast its sen.
timents with those of some of our
Republican organs nearer home—the
Pittsburgh Gazette, for instance. A few
days since that paper announced that
the Democratic party were not to be
trusted ; that they were not sincere in
their support of the war and the govern_
matt. This, to be sure, was said prior
to our late election, but even political
and partizan necessity does not justify
such infamous allegations. Such papers
as the Evening Post do not sink them.
selves to such base uses ; but, on the
contrary, it gives its whole support to
the election of a Union ticket, similar to
that which we ran here the other day.
The stupid charge of infidelity agains
the Democracy of the North proceeds
generally from those who have always
been,opposed to the government them
selves. Were it not that this class of
politicians are now luxuriating in-the
spoils to a very considerable extent they
would be arrayed against their govern
ment now. These extremists are in fact
opposed to the principles upon which
our government is founded, and are ne
cessarily in opposition to any Adminis
tration conducted upon the theory of
those who framed it. In their vehement
crusade against the South they have de
fied tha teachings and warnings of our
ablest statesmen, and did it avowedly to
bring about the very state of things we
now so much deplore. Even now many
of these agitators denounce the present
Administration because it will not heed
their fanatical suggestions: On the other
hand, the Democracy, true to its faith
and practice, steps in to the support of
the government, and assures those in
power that it is with them until rebel
lion is entirely put down.
If party has any right to claim that
which was intended for all,the Democra
cy of the United States could make out
a strong case for the possession of our
government. Democratic teachings and
statesmen raised it to what.it was before
the rebellion broke out, and will be the
means of elevating it still higher after
treason is put down. Had the warnings
Of Democratic statesmen, and others,
not belonging to our organization, been
heeded in time we would not now be
involved in a fratricidal war, the legiti

their admonitions and instructions.
NO EXCHANGE OF PRISON-
Gen. Grant, yesterday, says the Chi
cago Post, of Tuesday, in response to an
application from Gen. Polk refused to
make an exchange of prisoners, on the
ground that he recognized no Southern
Confederacy. Our Chicago namesake
thinks this wrong and we think so too.
If to exol ange prisoners be a recogni
tion of the Southern Confederacy, then
why take prisoners. If the rebel troops
that fall into federal hands are not pris
oners, what are they ? That they are
traitors no one can doubt, but they are
nevertheless treated and recognized as
prisoners of war. The hardship of this
policy falls with great severity upon the
gallant men of the federal forces who
have been taken prisoners. There are
some twelve hundred now in the hands
of the rebels, and many of them brave
and gallant officers, who are held and
treated as criminals, instead of being
regarded as prisoners of war. We trust
that this policy will be changed and an
exchange of prisoners made.
Gov. CIIIITEN arrived in our city by
Tuesday's midnight train, and was met
and welcomed at the depot by a large
number of our citizens. He was escort
ed to the Monongahela House, where
another crowd had assembled to see
him. After exchanging civilities and
receiving a few introductions the Gov -
ernor retired and the crowd dispersed.
air The Washington Republic says
that a tremendous pressure for an increase
of therapies army will be brought to bear
upon the next Congress. The difficulty in
the way is the fact that men will not enlist.
To day have five times th proper num
ber of officers for the recruits which have

persistent efforts of Senator Wilson and
Secretary Cameron, consented to a large
increase of the regular army, the ffice rs

6 Information has been received at Wash
ington that the rebel leaders at Richmond
have arrested and imprisoned Wm. Byrd,
lately a clerk in the Auditor's office of the
War Department here, and a man named
Martin, factotum for Jake Thompson, of
M.ississippi,while ho was Secretary of War.
Byrd obtained an appointment under the
administration and was for some time em
ployed in auditing the accounts of the War
Department with the various railroads
A few weeks ago he obtained leave of ab.
eenoo for a week, and was next heard of in
a paragraph published in the Augusta
(Georgia) Chronic/4, stating that he had
arrived there from Washington on his way
to Richmond, and announcing that he had
obtained a situation in the War Depart%
went for the purpose of obtaining infor
mation that would be valuable to the
rebels, With a view to communicate this
information he went South, but has become
a subject of suspicion at Richmond, and
been arrested as a federal spy. His infa
mous treachery is thus justly rewarded.
Martin attained an infamous notoriety,
in connection with the Lecompton affair in
Kansas. Ho was a third class clerk in
Thompson's department, and was detailed
as the agent of the Buchanan administra
tion to take the pro slavery amendments to
the constitution out to Kansas and lobby it
through the Territorial Legislature. Hav
ing thus made himself the tool of traitors
in executing this commission, which was
the first step towards the development of
the rebellion that now menaces the safety
of the republic, ho committed a double
treason by taking the oath of allegiance to
this government and then going South to
aid his former employers. Having thus
used him and knowing his propensity to
treachery, they have rewarded him also by
amazing him as a federal spy.
tSequestration
A petition has been filed in Richmond
for the seiltiestration of "Monticello,"
the well known house of Jet Tenon, now
owned by Uriah P. Levy, of the United
States Navy, and occupied by his brother
who is alleged to be disaffected toward
the rebel government. The estate em
braces 360 acres of land; and besides
this, Commodore Levy has another
Virginia farm of 960 acres, with sheep,
negroes, hogs, &c., all of which will,
most likely, be appropriated by our
Southern rebel authorities. And so with
the property in the rebel States of all
those denounced by Jeff Davis and his
corps legislatif as "alien enemies." But
this cannot last long, for the downfall of
Davis and his miserable mockery of a
government is not far off, and then our
loyal citizens who have EutFered from
these rebel sequestrations will get their

A CONCERT AT 111CN. BAN Rh' HEAD—
QUARTER9.—A correspondent of the Wor
cester Spy, writing from Darnestown,
Md., thus narrates an evening's experience
at the headquarters of Gen. Banks :
It was dark when we reached General
Banks' quarters, We found him at his
tents, where the time was paned very
agreeably until half past nine o'clock.—
For an hoar or more, during the time, a
choir from his body-guard sang patriotic
and other songs, and they sang magnifi
cently. This guard consists of a company
of cavalry and a company of infantry
carefully picked in Philadelphia. A large
proportion of them are Frenchmen, Ger•
mans and Italians, and from these chiefly
the choir was formed. They sang trio
Marseillaise as I never heard it sung he.
fore; and they sang other admirable pieces,
among them the Italian National Hymn,
the Ziu.z.ms, and the Star. Spangled Ban•
ner. Such a concert would create a sen
sation and hold an audience anywhere."
ALARM AT THE 60IIT11,—,Since the bril.,
liant capture of Fort Hatteras by the Union
forces, the rebels on the Southern seaboard
are in a great state of trepidation and alarm
for their safety. The Charleston papers of
a recent date publishes the following order
from General Ripley, which shows plainly
enough the condition of mind they are in
around that city :
Citizens residing on Suilivan's laland
will hold themselves in readiness to pro
teed to the city on short notice. Circum
stances only can determine when or at
what moment it may be necessary to order
a removal from the island.
It is evident from this notification that
Brigadier General Ripley considers disci.)
tion to be the better part of valor on the
part of the Sullivan's Island people.
REMOAL OF THE COLORED POPULATION
OP THE UNITED STATES TO AFRICA.—The
annual report of the Pennsylvania Colon.
ization Society considers the practicability
of the removal of the colored race from
America to Africa. We make the follow
ing extract:
The census of 1860 gives the number of
free colored perscns at 499,709, and slaves
at 3,960,343, making a total of 4,410,052.
By the official returns obtained from the
State Department, at Washington, it ap
pears that from Sept. 30, 1843, to Deem , .
ber 31, 1860, there arrived at the ports of
the United States, by sea, from foreign
lands 4,386,441 passengers. The greatest
number that arrived in a single year was
460,474. From this it is evident that the
free colored population of this country
might emigrate to Africa or elsewhere,
within a little more than a single year,
and that the entire body, of people of color,
with the increase, might remove in less
than twenty years. Two fifths, or $200,-
000,000, et the amount recently voted by
Congress for war purposes, would be suf
ficient to cover the expellees of the passage
of these emigrants to Liberia, and also to
pay for six months of their support after
ariving in that country.
FEMALE OCCUPANTS OF THS, WHIT&
Housx.—The Washington correspondent
of Springfield Republican writes as fol. ,
10W13:
Mrs, Lincoln is a very active woman.—
Nothing escapes her eye. She manages
the affairs of the White House (I do not
mean State affairs) with ability, and will
see to it that the "old man" does not re.
turn to Springfield penniless. In foreign
countries her turn for politics would not
subject her to adverse criticism, bat the
American people aro so unused to these
things, that it is not easy for them to like
it. Mrs. Douglas was a good deal of a
politician, but rather improved it, by her
social alliances. Miss Lane never alluded
to politics, and Mrs. Pierce knew nothing
about them. She was probably the most
simple-hearted woman that ever presided
at the President's table. The word "sim.
ple" is not used in a depreciative sense.—
She was a pure.minded, unselfish Chris•
Min woman, and knew nothing at all of
the world.

PROACHING DISRUPTION.—We find t ,, e

compelling many of theth to resign. Thus
Toombs, the Secretary of State, has had to
give place to Senator Hurter, and is now

muniertiona of the South cost the Wend
government upwards of two millions an

gan, having but scant resources at his com
mend, has not, of course, been able to keep
up the postal communications within his
jurisdiction on anything like their former
footing, and the result is universal grum
bling and dissatisfaction. We sec no al
ternative for him but to take refuge, like
his expelled colleagues of the the Cabinet,
in a brigadiership. But the brigadiers
have thou• own trials, and are not exempt
from the caprices of popular favor. Wise
and Floyd, those disinterested patriots,
have, we see, got to quarrelling, and the
former is to return to Richmond to be
court n3artialrd, Even Jeff. Davis has
been subjected o the most damaging assaults
on the part of the Southern journals. It is
a question whether, supposing his health to
admit of it, he will be again nominated for
President at the election which is to take
place a month hence. By-and•by the die
pleasure of tho Confederate masses with
those who have seduced them into their
present difficulties will take a more posi•
tive shape. Judging from existing indica
tions, they are likely to spare our govern
ment the trouble of punishing these
double dyed traitors by themselves ad
ministering to them a short allowance of
rope.
The Robber Flu} d--Base Ingratitude
Among the Bebelß.
The public robber, Floyd, who, as Mr.
Buchanan's smooth and cunning Secre
tary of War, contrived to supply; in ad
vance, our rebellious States with the
arms and ammunition, and materials of
war for this rebellion, from the arsenals
and factories of the United States—this
rebel Floyd, one would suppose, would
be embalmed in lavender among his reb
el conspirators for his invaluable sers
vices to their wretched -cause. And so
ho was for a time. In fact, with the
full exposure of his magnificent steal
ings, no champion of Southern chivalry
was so feted, and feasted, and glorified
for a time as this chief of Mr. Buchan
an's "forty thieves," this head robber,
Floyd.
From a sense of gratitude, Jeff. Davis
and his Cabinet and Congress made this
public robber a Confederate Brigadier
General, and sent him out with Henry
A. Wise, another Brigadier General, to
subjugate loyal Western Virginia. Fail
ing in this enterprise, and both Floyd
and Wise having been ignominiously
put to Ifiglit, each leaving a mass of his
indispensible camp rubbish behind him,
these two nbel chiefs have fallen out
with each other. Floyd is indignant,
and appeals to his injured innocence,
the usual dodge of an - old rogue; but
the Wises and their organ, the Rich
mond Enquirer, very broadly hint that
this innocent Floyd has "a stain upon
his character," and that he is playing
the coward in seeking to rectify by a
court martial those personal wrongs
which he should avenge on the field of
honor. Perhaps we may next hear that
Floyd has been sent to his account, and
that a duellists pistol has thus cheated
the hangman's rope of its due. At all
events, after all his grand stealing for
the uses of this rebellion, how hard is
this case of Floyd.—N. V. Herald.
Is this a Contractors' War?
Some one having stated that there is to
be no fighting across the Potomac, because
"this is a Contractors' War," has aroused
the Cincinnati Commercial'a fury, and
accordingly talks right out in the follow
ing manner
"We have no definite idea of the amount
of pressure to the square inch that would be
required at present to ford the truth into
the honest understanding of the President
of the United States. Unfortunately, it
has coins to pass in those latter days (which
include an indefinite number of Adminis.
trations) that the President is walled in
from the people, and only permitted to
hear the truth at rare intervals. He is sur
rounded by an atmosphere, made up of the
exhalations of the hangers on about the
Capitol—the peddling politicians—the syc

that fall from official tables— and thereat of
the sediment and froth of the usual quadren

offensive to good cttiaens ' asphyxiates the
President and renders him dim of sight

Gen. Cameron's Visit to Gen. Fremont
--Grand Perfect- of the Troops—They
are Addressed by the Secretary of
War--Return of Gen. Cameron and
hie Party to St. Louis—Latest from
the Rebel Army.
[Special Telegraphic icecnten to the Republican.]
SYRACUSE,
Gen. Cameron, accompanied Oct
b .
jutant General Thomas, and Mr. Wilk
inson, of the New York Tribune, spent
Saturday night at Jefferson and arrived
in Tipton about nine o'clock yesterday
morning. After breakfasting in camp,
they rode over to this place (six miles)
on horseback, accompanied by General
Fremont and staff.
On the way, one of the younger offi
cers bantered Gen. Cameron for a race,
upon which the Secretary of War put
spurs to his horse and showed that he
was at least a superior equestriaw
an accomplishment not very common in
our army. He left all competitors be
hind, and the party come on pellimell,
over the rough prairie.
Two members of Gen. Fremont's
Body Guard were seriously wounded in
the legs by the accidental discharge of
their carbines, on the way.
Upon its arrival here, the party called
upon General McKinstry, and after
spending half an hour with him, pro.
°ceded, in company with himself, his
staff and - several other gentlemen, to re
view Gen. McKinstry's Division, which
is encamped here. The review took
place on a large prairie, north of town,
and was extremely satisfactory in its
character. High encomiums were 'pass
ed up n the tine condition of General
McKinstry's Division, which, under his
own excellent supervision, and that cf
his efficient officers, Captain Totten, at
the head of the artillery, Major Steel,
of the infantry, and General Stanley of
the cavalry, is in an admirable condi
tion, and does great credit to our service.
At the close of the review, Genera'
Cameron made a few well-timed remarks
to the troops, expressing the highest
gratification at the condition in which
he found them, and the utmost con&
dence that in the hands of such men
the honor and success of our country's
arms were safe.
Loud cheers were given for Generals
Cameron, Fremont and McKinstry,
after which General Cameron and his
party, accompanied by Gen. Fremont
and his staff, went by rail to Tipton,
where they reviewed General Asboth's
Division, which was also in excellent
condition, and then they went on by
special train to St. Louis.
It is understiod that Gen. Cameron
came here at the request of the
President to examine the condition of
affairs in this Department; and that he
professes himself highly gratified with
the condition of Fremont's army. It
is to be hoped that after his return to
Washington, the Cabinet. will he aware
that there is a IVeat, if it is outside of
the army of the Potomac, and that the
great and difficult field in Gen. Fre
mont's Department requires some men,
money, and mtinitions,
Secretary Cameron's visit here, I
have no doubt, was for the purpose of
observing, persugally, how the West
ern Depaqt r pient'iwas managed, and of
ascertaini4giiee fruth or falsity of the
countless..char,g§s that have been pre
ferred at Washington against Fremont
He has been a firm friend of the Path
finder since his appointment as Major
General, arid he will now be able to
meet successfully the misrepresenta
tions that daily find their way to
the Federal Capital.
The Secretary is greatly pleased
with the condition of affairs in Missou
ri, and will hereafter, I conclude, give
a little more attention to:aff4irs in the
West, as he now comprehends some
thing of their extent and importance.
We may look henceforth for ad
ditional interest in the condition of
Missouri from the ruling powers at
Washington, and more energetic aid
to the conduct of the war within the
borders of this State. 'The Secretary's
visit cannot but be fraught with good
results, and will, 1 think go far to in
crease the favorable opinion of General
Fremont with the Administration and
the Cabinet.
Many persons have insisted that
Fremont would be superseded be
fore the month is over, If such
an impolitic measure were contempla•
ted, I conjecture it is now likely to be
postponed until the General has a fair
and full trial in the field.
Engaging Servants in England
A correspondent of the London 1
Times who describes himself as "an
easy going young man, wlto__thinks a
pennyworth of comfort cheap at three
halfpence, and am not,
_therefore, ex
treme to mark what
,is done amiss,"
writes an amusing communication up-
on the habits and manners of servants
in London. We quote a few para.:,
graphs :
WHY THEY LEFT EMI.
Sometimes, I admit, I must be to
blame, as on a late occasion when a
groom left me without assigning a
reason. I afterward understood that
he told his successor that "the place
was well enough but master was so
plaguey dull in the buggy he couldn't
stand it." It is painful for me thus to
own that I am not always up to the in
telligent exigencies of the position, yet,
notwithstanding this drawback, my
servants, as a rule, remain with me
longer than with my neighbors.
AN ADVERTISTNG BUTLER
I selected the most promising ad
vertisements in your columns, and
wrote to appoint the advertisers to
meet me in town. The first that called
was a butler.' He was a man of some
personal appearance, which he evident ,
ly thought it his first duty to cultivate.
On being ushered into the room he
said he had "entbraced the earliest op
portunity of obeying my summons."
perceived at once like Agag, he must
be approached delicately, and should
hav-. , felt sonic hesitation how to cate
chize so refined a personage but that I
soon found that the question was not
whether I should engage him, but
whether he would engage me. Did he
pay the bills ? Had he the entire
charge of the cellar, or was there a
sanctum sanotorum of which I alone
kept the key ? My answers were not
satisfactory. Had I a groom of the
chambers No. In such case he con , 4
eluded. I had a valet ? I supposed
his scrutiny of my dress had not en
couraged any exaggerated notion of
the value of my "exuvite," for, on my
replying that the butler was the only
man out of livery, and officiated as my
valet, I saw 1 was a doomed man. For
furin's sake, however, he kindly con
sented to give me one more trial, and
inquired whether, under these circum
stances, it would be expected of him to
bring in tea and coffee after dinner.
I told him that I regretted that such
would be the case, and he must, in
deed, be prepared for any emergency.
That I did not think it likely I should
ever ask him to make the fourth in a
quadrilee, but that he would,l in my
house, be expected to do everything he
was told, except feed the pigs. "That,"
said I, mildly, "I do myself." On
looking up to see the effect of my last
observation, he was disappearing in the
doorway.
The next applicant was a cook and
housekeeper. She was pleased slightly
to touch upon her autobiography, just
sulitektit to inform me that she had
always liven in the best of families,"
and then, like the butler, proceeded
to ascertain whether I should suit
her. her first question also, was:
Did she pay the bills ? Did I come
to town every year. 'When ' in
the country did the farm supply the
house, and did T kill one sheep or
two per week ? When in town, did
have hampers of fruit and vegeta
bles up regular, which was mostly very
ill-convenient?" When my examina
tion was at an end, I said, "Mrs.
Jones, you were only three months
at your last place, nine at the pre
vious one, eleven at the one before
that. It seems to me these were
rather short periods." "Oh!" said,
she, "they are such gooses of mis
sus; but in course your lady is a real
lady and keeps herself to herself."
BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
The whole system of service, as
at present understood in England, is
rotten at the core. "All pay and play"
is the cry ,and , nd "and meat meals five
times a day and port and sherry kitchen
wine," the only maxim of the servants'
hall.
Apropos of these five meals, I am
satisfied there must be some curiously
digestive property in plush, else how
is it that "Jeames," having breakh
fasted at halfhpast eight, and being
about to dine at one, requires a luncheon
at eleven ? How is it that having dined
at one, if you order the carriage at two
to drive to a neighbor a mile off, he is
