*WWIp: OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY. PITTSBURGH : TUESDAY MORHlBiG:::::::::OCT. 22, For Afternoon Telegraph and Uocal Hews See First Page. PROSPECT OP A DECISIVE BATTLE. There is an impression among those who have the finest opportunities of knowing, that our and the rebel forces on the Potomac are ou the eve of a ter rible engagement. The point at whioh this dreadful shock of arms is likely to occur is Manassas Junction—the scene of our late humiliation. Here Beaure gard has again entrenched himself, pa tiently,waiting the advance of the federal forces. Our Cabinet at Washington are said to be divided in regard to the policy of a forward movement upon the rebels ; but the necessity of striking soon seems to have the weight of authority in its favor. Whether our forces are able to strike this blow successfully is a question which the attempt only can answer. 11 is said that the rebeb at Manassas are so confident of success, that, they are eager for an engagement and anxiously await the advance of the federal army. Their attempt at closing the Potomac was in tended lo drive the government into a premature attack upon them, and it is likely to prove successful. The only certain way of clearing this stream oj batteries is said to be an advance on Ma nassas. The rebels being aware of this are eager for a fight from behind their fortifications; for it appears pretty cer tain they will not risk a battle unless they have those advantages. To giv 0 the rebels the advantages of position masked batteries, earthwork intrench ments and superior knowledge of the country is to show a confidence in our ability to conquer, commendable to our pluck, if not our judgment. The portion of the Cabinet which counsel prudence and delay are on the safe side, because a terrible responsibili ty rests upon those who are anxious for the fight. General McClellan and his immense army cannot afford to suffer defeat; another Bull Run disaster would be crushing to our cause. Nothing, therefore, should be risked when the consequences of failure would be so fatal, but should we gain a decisive victory we may look for the speedy termination of rehfellibn. Once obtain a toothold in Virginia and the rebel government will fly before our victorious soldiers ; rebel lion will .become terror-stricken ; the loyal men of Virginia, now kept down by the strong hand of tyrrany, will rally ■to the standard of their deliverers, and soon a Union party will show itself in the Old Dominion, as powerful in num bers as they were before the State se ceded. A decisive victory for our arms in Virginia would not only give hope and confidence to the Union men of the South, but have an admirable effect upon us ail. Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland, would receive new lire, and for the performance of gallant exploits. Oar troops would feel new in centives after having rubbed out the disgrace of our former defeat, and a feel ing of confidence in our ability to con quer would be created, similar to that which was felt when the rebellion broke out. BLAVEHY AND THE WAS Onr talented neighbor or the Gazette yesterday devoted a oolumn and a half to a learned discussion of this irritating subi jeot. It began its leader very wisely ty “It is hard to determine clearly the effect slavery is to have upon our great national conflict, or what effect that conflict is to have upon slavery. The two are insepara bly blended, bat subject to numberless com plications and contingencies.” No fair minded gentlemen can object to in fact it is quite difficult to “detor mineclearly” anything connected with the struggle except that it is going on. After the exhibition of a large amount of learning about the early struggles of the American colonies, Cromwell, Luther, King David, Charles the fifth, and the well of Bethlehem, our estimable acquaint ance concludes as follows: “Our readers can answer for themselves; as for us, our hand and voice is with Lib erty and Humanity, and for the wisest im~ ppnement of the present Great Opportu nity, the neglect of which must call down upon the nation the vengeance of Heaven.” Our neighbor will place us under addi tional obligations if it will inform us wbal it weans by the ‘'wisest improvement ol the present great ppportunity.” TEIiEGBAfH TO UTAH. The telegraph yesterday brought us the congratulations of Brigham Young to President Lincoln and the reply of the latter to the Mormon Saint, upon the-completion of telegraphic communi cation to Salt Lake. The successor of Joe Smith is grandiloquent in alluding to an enta prise which “spans the con tinent, unites. two oceans and connects Temote extremities of the body politic with.the'great government’s heart. May the whole system thrill with quickened pulsations of that heart; the parricidal hand of treason be punished; and the , entire sisterhood of States join hands in giad reunion around the national fire side." President Lincoln reciprocates the congratulations of Brother Young, but does not spread himself to the same extent.,,^ The treaty with the King of Lagos for the cession of the Isle and port of Lbgos Thu" 1 * 1 is officially announced. a , hl „ p “ rt of Ls e°s is one of the most val “wnntonta 8 C °“ t ’ ita buaineaa 6 *° U Pwards of ten millions of for. the BritWb Government,*'* 1 RCqU ' Bitl ° n HARVEY AND SHAKSBEARB- Two papers from the pen of Mr. dames H. Hackett, the distinguished represen tative of Sir John Fallsfaff, have been furnished to the New York Evening Post , going to prove that Shakspeare had a knowledge of the circulation of the blood prior to its discovery by Dr. Harvey. To support his position Mr. Hackett quotes Beveral passages from Shakspeare’s plays, among which are the following ; Brutus, in Julius Coosar, speaking to Portia, says ; “Thou art dear to me as tins ruddy drops That my sad heart.” After quoting several other passages equally pertinent, Mr. Hackett concludes with one from Fallataff, in which he Bpeaks of “good sack” having the excel lent effect of warming the blood and making it course from the inwards to the parts extreme. Activity in Business, We were gratified, yesterday, says the Philadelphia Inquirer of Saturday, to hear that one of our heaviest old houses in Mar ket street had done a heavier business this week than it has ever done in any week at this season of the year, and, with but few exceptions, larger than in any week in its existence. An excellent foalure of this ac tivity, too, was \ho fact that a very large proportion of the sales vvero for cash, and none of them on the pernicious system of “long credits,” that has deslroyod so many mercantile fortunes in this and other cities. Wo make this editorial note of the rnattr-r. because we are sure the public will bn ha much rejoiced to hear it as we were. A Laruk Holk.—A Kentucky letter in a St. l/Oui. s paper has this significant passage “My opinion is that a large hole will bo bored through Tennessee and Arkansas before the Ist of December. Our southern friends will feel like going home soon, and our troops intend to escort them hack to their plantations and remain with until all disputes between Ihemare settled.” FROM MISSOURI, Fremont and the Contractor* Correspondence of the N. Y. Tune* The public mind is profoundly agitated upon tho administration of affaii6 in this military department. Fremont has many zealous friends, as well as many enemies, from grounds not at all personal. Much of the discontent may arise from the fret thfft little hag been done in the field as y°b and fresh outbreaks are occurring on the lines of railroad. The visit of tho War Secretary and Ad jutant General has stimulated the discus sion of the condition of affairs. Parties equaliy well-informed state that Mr. Cam eron left with both favorable and unfavor,* able impieisions. It is needles to add that the opinions here are very conflicting. No doubt it must have gladened the heart to see an army of the best fighting ma terial in the world in the field, well fed, well ciad, and tolerably well equipped and disciplined. All that was to be srai wa* probably to his liking—all that whs unseen may have been otherwise. No expense has been spared on the troops. Whatever money or credit could buy, from brass and silver bands to tent flooring, has boon bought. lee, water bar rels, by the car load, surgical instruments enough for the Grand Army of the Ken peror, besides vait qualities of provisions, clothing, horses, wagons, &c. Verily we have had enough of tho “pride, pomp and circumstance of war,” to have seen its vir tues. FLOTTEB AMONG THS CONTBACTuItS. The announcement of Secretary Gamer, on referring informal claims to tho proper authorities at Washington, has raised a decided commotion, tho results of which will be to lead to some rich developments in which the whole country is Inlereded. It appears that parties in this city and float ing capitalists have taken large and lucrative contracts for the government upon no other authority than the general command ing and his subordinates. The banks have advanced large sums of money upon these transactions, bolding the certilied claims as security. The secretary’s decision has up set their calculations, and disturbed the equilibrium of the money market. The streets have been full of rumors of fraudulent and swindling transactions on the part of the contractors, Or the tenth part of which I would not vouch, though it would be strange if they were entire na tion. Thus it is reported .that the exten. sive fortifications have cost the govern ment $490,000, when competent engineers say $120,000 would have been amplo Another contract for horses was sold for $lO,OOO the same day it was obtained. A third was for 200,000bushelsof oorn at 60c. per bushel, yielding a net profit of 46c. a bushel. One patriotic individual furnished boots to the government, the soles of which were stuffed with paper and shavings Some lucky one who wasjiot worth a dollar on the Ist of March, drew out of bank $79,000 on the day that the quartermaster left. An express company is said to have received $5OO per gun for fifty heavy guns shipped as ordinary freight, when therail way companies would have been glad to get 60c. cwt. for the same, the gunß having laid useles on the ground ever since.— Jobbery in provision contracts, swindling in arms, clothing contracts, and almost everything else. Tlie Traitor Governor of Mis souri. The St. Louis Republican has this para graph : “A report was extensively circulated, shortly after the surrender of LexingtoD, that Jackson had assembled the secesh part of the legislature in that city, and secured the passage of a secession ordi. nance. Thiß was erroneous—there was no such session. But we understand he haß sent notices to membeis supposed to be in his interest and that of the Southern Con federacy, requiring their attendance in a remote corner of the State, (probably Carthage,) where, few or many they will go through the form of passing an ordi nance of secession, if Gen. Fremont doos not, in the mean time, drive the w hole jiosse out of the Stale.” An Absurd Duel M. Mary-Lafon was bathing in tbe Marne one day, a Mr. M. G. near him. The latter suddenly disappeared. M. Lafon dived after him and brought him up again, .Restored to his senses, the delivered overwhelmed his deliverer with expressions of gratitude. M. La fon, to get rid of such excessive dem onstrations, proposed an adjournment to a house of refreshment. But this only made matters worse. M. G. call ed him his father and his saviour, and persisted in publicly embracing him. M. Lafon, annoyed beyond bearing, threw a plate of strawberries at M. G., who retorted with a water decanter. A meeting was the consequence. After a first harmless discharge of pistols, M. Lafon inquired if the other would per. sist in his filial demonstrativeness. The foundation of the new American hotel has been laid in Liverpool. It will he the largest on the face ol the earth. WOmWSM*-. MATIFERS*-,. „ -. Tile Mexican Troubles. The Arabia’s mails bring fuller ac couuts of the preparations for the allied expedition against Mexico. The Lon don Post of the 14th instant makes this semi-official announcement: “It is understood that by.the middle of November the climate of Vera Cruz and Tampico will be well suited to the forthcoming intervention of the allied forces in the Gulf of Mexico. From that time the healthy season begins, and it commonly continues during some six months—a period far more than suffi cient for putting into gear our plans for the liquidation of our claims against the republic of Mexioo. Although it would be impossible to fix the precise moment for the ocmmeneement of the operations in the Gulf, there is little doubt that in the first week of the healthy season we shall be in a position to carry into ef fect, jointly with the forces of France and Spain, the intervention which we announced more than a week ago. “We have every reason to anticipate that, long before the unhealthy season returns in Mexioo, the great proportion of our sailors and marines may be in a position to quit possession of Vera Cruz, Tampico and such other portß as they may seize along the Gulf. It is not too much, indeed, to hop" that a very brief career of active hostilities in the prin ■ cipal cities of the coast, will result in bringing the Mexican government to our terms ; and it is obvious that when the process which we arc prepared to onrry into effect among the principal Gulf cities shall have been formally agreed to by the best executive author • ity that exists in Mexioo, it will hr cora ; petent to us to relinquish our forcible possession of the ports that we may , have held meanwhile as material guarnn , ties. Two or t hree vessels of war in the i roadsto sof each, of the ports that are ■ to be placed under a system of revenue sequestration, will then be in all prob • ability thcutmosi that will be required.” The London Times savs : “The Spanish naval force which is to assemble at Havana for the expedition ' to Mexico is composed of twelve steam ers, viz : ITinc<G de Asturias, 51 guns; Concepcion,-11 guns; Lcaltad, 11 guns ; ' lilanca 87 guns ; BereDguela, liT guns; ' I'etronilla, AT guns ; Lsabel la Catolica, Hi guns ; Francisco de Asia, lti guns ; i Heman Cortes, ti gnns ; Blasco de Ga» ■ rey, tiguns; I’izarro, ti guns ; Velasco, ti guns; total, 400 guns. There will be besides two corvettes and the neces sary number of transports.” ' 1 The pacification of Mexi co can be better effected by the inter vention of the great Powers than by the reoonques! of the conntry by a second rate state. What is wantod is that peace and order should be enforced for a few years, and that the improvement of the people should be left to those | causes which have regenerated more than one Furopean nation.” The J'aris I’resse throws doubt on an 1 assertion made by the (’orrespondencia, that no understanding has been come to bitw; "n Franco and Kngland a.- to a i joint intervention in Mexico. “Con trary t-vi what the (’orrespondencia an nounces,” say,- the Paris journal, “the negotiations have not been broken off between Kngland, France and Spain, reelutive to Mexico ; but up to the pres ent time no decision has been come to.” Tho Way to Help Humanity and Lancashire The Loudon Star und Dial of the .‘ld instant accompanies an appeal for tho development of the Indian, Egyp tian and Australian cotton lands with the following excellent remarks : “A great opportunity is bcfure us. We may pluck permanent safety out of the midst of an imminent danger. We may confer immense benefit on mill lions of our lellow subjects, and on millions more of our fellow creatures We may s.lve the mast urgent of English questions by u method which will solve also the worst of American difficulties. Tho present and future of two great nations are bound up to gether in ono problem. A plentiful supply of cotton is to England the in dispensable condition of existence. A diminished demand for the principal produce of southern states is tho most hopeful chance of negro emancipation. There are wide and fruitful ootton fields within our own territories. There is an absolute impossibility of obtain ing present supplies from America. That impossibility may be indefinitely protracted. The politicians of tho Union arc yet too strong for the sol diers and citizens who would make the war short and decisive. It may be prolonged—it may be renewed. There oan be no more reliance upon the com meroial operations of a country divided against itself. I “The blockade of southern ports is now so effective that not a bale of cot ton esoapes thence to our shores; though the price is double or treble the av erage. Not even the prospect of eet ting twenty cents per pound at Liver pool for what can be bought at six cents in Charleston tempts the mer chants to speculate on evading the Union cruisers. There is not a pound of cotton on the At antic, except und er the flag that conveys it as the spoil of war to Now York. Our stooks are getting low—our markets are feverish, our mills are beginning to work short time. Are we to persist in looking to the disturbed and war-stricken West for supplies which it cannot yield with out a miracle of pacification 1 Or shall we not apply ourselves with vigorous promptitude to the sources that lie within our own tranquil empire, and within the reach of very moderate ex ertions ? * * * “America oan, at any rate, not increase her supply, unless— which God and man may be trusted to avert! —she also increases her Blave grounds. It is India and the British colonies that must supply the wants of of the future—the wants unsatisfied by the 4,000,000 bales hitherto sup plied by the United States. The 2,* ' 000,000 bales yielded by other coun tries must be doubled or trebled before we begin to see the natural level of, supply and demand. We may hope to see by that time the American negro as free as the British operative, and the Indian ryot or coolie as well con tent as either. Good luok to all who aspire to help on so happy a result/’ I SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY NOT REMOTE. From.tho Lomion Post ( emioflicial) Up to the present time the Confeder ates have succeeded in o7ery field—at Bull Run, Springfield, and Lexington. How is the question of secession to be decided ? According to tho modern theory of European nations, as exhibit ed in the cases of the revolted Amer ican colonies, of Spain, Greece, and Belgium, de facto iudepenbence must be recognized. The time perhaps, has not arrived when this question oan be put to any ioreign State, but the fact of virtual independence nevertheless exists, and the period of decision can not be long postponed. Bnt why are tho American people to continue an un necessary and fratricidal war, which all experience, up to the present time, shows is unlikely to be accompanied by any lasting triumphs ? On the plain est grounds of |humanity, compromise wouldjbe infinitely preferable to a con« tinuance of hostilities. The North now hopes, by its successful' naval expedi tions, to seize the cotton crops of the South, and to provide for the neces sities of European manufacture. But we are at a loss to kDow by what pro cess the free-traders of the South can be reconciled to the prohibitory and ex clusive tariffs of the North. Wo la ment the unhappy differences which now appear almost appear irreconcila ble ; we admit the impossibility of ex pecting the South to eeutribute to the the expenses of a war waged for its conquest and subjugation ; but we stili have a gleam of hope, when, consider ing the protracted and rnhtual hesita tion and delay of the belligerents, we seo in the not distant horizon the ac knowledgement of that principle of seporation and of individual State Sov ereignity which is now equally valid and true at it was when the United States first achieved their independ ence. Foreign nations have only to keep aloof'from the contest. Premature recognition would be both unjust and in expedient ; but the course of events ap pears to be forcing some action in this direction upon foreign Governments Wise and timely compromise, accompa nied by the amicable renewal of politic al and commercial relations, ought to be the policy of the Federal Govern ment ; but whether this lesson has been taught is a problem which must bo left to future history ; at present, it is a spec ulation not sufficiently illustrated by the. small skirmishes which for some time past have marked the progress of the Amerionn civil war. Judgo Eanney on tho Knights of tho Golden Circlo Judge Ranney made a powerful speech for the prosecution in the case of the Knights of the Golden Circle; His clo sing words arc reported by tho Herald as follows : In closing, Judge Ranney poured out the vials of his indignation on those who imagine tho democratic party re quires to fie defended by secret societies. That party, to which he was proud to belong, is defended by the whole Li-tory of our country, and by the recollections of every battle fielJ. If any had erred by takiug the fir.-t obligation, he would say the democratic party needs not to bo protected in any such manner. Citaud on the house tops, said he, proclaim to the world that men are to he protected in their constitutional rights, but don’t hide it beneath senseless oaths and obli gations. Cease the tom-fooling of cock ing up hats, hinting mysteriously of the “Star of Bethlehem,” and talking about beiogquartered and thrown out of the four gates of gateless cities. Such things create suspicion. Ho knew there are menjWho havelooked with pleasure on thejmarchof the rebels'toward Washing ton. Blinded by partizauship they have forgotten that Abraham Lincoln is no thingandjnobody,except as he represents the government and the people. Lot those who have so far forgotten their obligations to the government as to conspire against it, be punished as they deserve, and let those who are not guilty bo exonerated from suspicion.

Suppose a private to have served one yoar, and that being the end of the war, his account with tho government reduced to a cash valuation . would btand about Lbuf: For Vi month*’ par at $l3 per month, $166,00 For l'J months’ commutation for cioth* niK, at $3,50 For IX months’ commutation for ia:i- t.x, at %\i For bounty For Kr*nt of 160 acres of land tin pros per t Total for one year, $602,00 And supposing his average travel from the place of enrollment to the place of muster to be 200 miles, he receives $6, (60 cents for each 20 miles) and the same on his discharge; and if in the cavalry vice $25 in addition. A r.iTTLK more that thirty years ago a writer in Bloekwoods Magazine wrote in ferocious denunciation of the character of Franklin. because he had proposied, on one occasion, in the hehring of Englishmen, the future greatness of the United States. Looking at the Thames, the philosopher said: “And is it this narrow stream lhat is to have dominion over a country that contains the Hudson and tho Ohio They never forgave Franklin for lhat question —those magnanimous Britons—and they never will. • DIED. —On Sunday morning. at Seminary Hospital, Georgetown, J>.
