The most lamentable portion of this news is the death of Col. Baker, Senator from Oregon, who fell while gallantly rallying his regiment to the charge. Senator Baker was a statesman as we' as a soldier, and one of the most elo quent and patriotic men in the country. THE COMBINATION AGAINST MEXICO The latest arrivals from Europe do not confirm the previous reports of a - combination having been formed by England, France and Spain to compel , Mexico lo pay her indebtedness. Neither do these governments appear to be as united in their feelings in regard to our Southern rebellion. France and Eng. land seem, just now, to be troubled them selves, if not to the same extent as the United States, at least quite sufficient to engage their immediate attention. From Paris, a correspondent writing on the 4th inst., remarks that the polit ical agitation there is so great as to cause forgetfulness of rebellion in this country. This agitation in France is attributed to the late commercial treaty formed with England, the effects of which have been to inundate the French with Biitish manufactures. The superior machinery and cheaper labor of England have pros trated manufacturing in France, and consequently discontent rages among the millions who have been affected by the change. As long as this feeling exists among Frenchmen, ihere is not likely to be any cordial union between their government and England tor any pur pose whatever. On the contrary the treaty alluded to has alarmed the French people, and the government is beginning to consider the necessity of getting rid of it, even if a war should be the conse. quence. That these two governments have no confidence in eaoh other’s sincerity is evident enough. France is backward in joining England in recognizing the Southern Republic, and has also object ed to the proposed expedition against Mexico. The English journals, two weeks since, slated that the French Emperor had consented to join this expe dition, but since then their official organ has given theßtatement a flat contradic tion. So the manner in which matters stand at present, across the water, does notlookas ifeitherMexicoor the United States was soon to suffer from invasion. France, it hi said, has positively refused to join England against France, but-it is intimated that she has given Spain encouragement in her preparations against our unfortunate neighbor. It is not improbable —Mexico having once belonged to the Castillian govern ment —that Spain has a hope of again adding her to her dominions. That gov emment has of late exhibited an energy and ambition worthy of her ancient re nown, and in her old days she may re mind us of the time when her Pizzaro invaded Peru, and planted the Spanish banner upon the walls of vanquished Quito. In the last quarter of a century Spain has increased in population over four millions, while poor Mexico has been receding in power and numbers.— It would be a strange revolution in the affairs of these two countries to now see old, decrepid Spain rise in a second manhood and conquer back to her do minion revolted Mexico. The new life and vigor exhibited by old Monarchial Spain, and the decrepitude of the young Republic of Mexico, suggest reflections not dreamed of by the patriots who conquered and established Mexican in depence. «©-Th eSt. Louiß Republican anticipate a fight, between the contending forces in Missouri at an early day. It is anxious to see whether there is any fight in General Price's army, The Union colnmns are now fairly after the fugitives, pursuing them sharply, and the latter can have a battle right off, if they will only say the word. Though it has been difficult to pro cure sufficient transportation, Gen. Fre mont has determined to press on with such outfit as he has been able to gather, being unwilling to delay longer his importan } expedition. "We suppoee we will know before long what was really the object of Prioe’s precipitate retreat from Lexington wbelhe* it was to draw the Union forces as far,as poEsible into a hostile country, to join reinforcements from tho South, or to select some eligible' 1 position whereat to make a BtaadAW it will make but little differarauwhjph of these was the actual intention She on crea* ting alarm onour side beingxthat the enemy means to dodge and escape^ Arkansas. Nothing will please %he Union soldiers more than the prospect of a gpjfa, hard, substantial and decisivo frßjUjje r - 1 This Grand Army ok tcie Potomac. — The army at and near Washington, now on4er General McClellan's exclusive command, ifl said by George Wilkes, of the Spirit of the Times, to number 240,000 men. noble words of Daniel Webster delivered on b memorable occasion, should 'be 1 tb pee of every American, no matter ■what ills politics may formerly have been: “X say when the standard of the Union is raißed and waved over my head-the standard which Washington planted on the ramparts of jthe. Constitution— God forbid that I should-inquire whom the people Xiave commissioned to unfurl it and bear it 'tb 7 . I only ask in what maimer, as an bumble individual, X can Pest discharge my duty in defending it.” A Good Proposition. I fear the means for the support of the families ot our brave volunteers have been poorly provided for at the beginning of this war. "We are sometimes at a loss where to get the required amount for their Bup port. Shall'the necessary funds be raised by an additional taxation of the laboring men, who, becoming poorer every day, by want of labor, will be hardly able to sustain themselves through this time of trial ? Shall it bo raised by the industrious me- chanics, whose hands at present lie idle ? Shall it be raised by thestock-holders,wbo, Buffering from the business pressure, have spent all their former earnings, and are, by a long war, going to ruin ? Or shall it be said, gentlemen, this glo« rious Union, this mighty republic, with her abundance of wealth, is not ablo to provide for the wives and children of hose who volunteered to serve her with their hearts blood in her hour of need 1 The middle class has sacrificed everything for the sake of our Union. The noddle class has sent her sons, to the battle fieldß ; the armies who throng the shores of the Potomac, the mountains of Western Vir ginia, the banks of the Missouri and Mis sissippi, who are now defending noble old Kentucky, are composed, nine out of ten, of men of the middle classes. But has every citizen done his sacred duty in defending this sacred soil of liberty —this homestead for the oppressed ? Has every one shown himßelf a true patriot, lay ing down part of his wealth on the altar of his country ? What is the answer . No ; no. Not all of them have brought any sacrilioo yet. Our high officers draw the same largo salaries as they did before. In tbe year 1830 Belgium sscedod from Holland and made war <:n it. Patriotic, rose the Hollandish nation ; tbe merchant left bis store, the Btudont his college, Iho lawyer his i ffieo, the mechanic his Bhop, to shoulder tho musket and drive the rebels from their soil. Holland, with only two million of inhabitants, raised one hundred and twenty-live thousand fighting men.— .Every man from eighteen to lorty five years enlisted to fight as common soldiers for the integrity of Holland. Throughout this war King William laid down his income on the aliar of his country, his patriotic example was followed by the Princra, the Kepresentatlves of the Hollandish nation, the Congress and Senate, all foreign Min isters, the high military officers in army and navv—all laid down op.e-half for the sake of their suffering country. In tho war for our independence, our ho roes—Washington and other noble patriots .—drew no pay whatever. Why should not our men in high offices, with their large salaries, be abie to lay at least one part of it on tbe altar of tneir country ? . Therefore, I do respectfully submit to the public the following propositions: Let us petition our worthy President and his Cabinet, the members ol Congress and Senate, our foreign Ministers, Genurals, Commodores, Governors, Legislature, ail men in high offices, to lay down a part of their salaries for the benefit of the families of our brave volunteers. Let us set the ball in motion in cur own State ; a true patriot never sleeps when his country is calling him. Should this proposition meet with suc cess, and I believe it will, the families of our brave volunteers, defending our homos against invasion and crushing out rebellion, need not to fear for the coming winter; the brave and true patriots at home will provide for their comfort and drive the phantom Want from their hearth-stones. P. Fklix. tjfcp- The Reading GazeUc of Saturday says that ex-President Buchanan visited the borough of York last week, sojourn ing at the residence of hiß former private secretary, Adam J. Glossbrenner, Esq_ lle arrived on Thursday afternoon, and returned to Wheatland on Saturday noon. During his visit he was called on by a large number of his acquaintances and friends, and on Thursday night was serenaded by the York Harmonic Hand. On Friday he dined with his former Se. cretary of State, Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, now residing in York. The ex-I’resident has recently recov ered from a Bevere illness, and though still somewhat debilitated, looks remark ably well. Lategt from the South. From a copy of theKichmond Enquirer , of the 16 th inst., we extract the following items and dispatches: New Orleaes, October 14.—The ex pedition under Commander Hollins, con sisted of the Manassh*, the iron clad marine battering ram, with one 64« poun der Uahlgren gun—the steamer Calhoun (the flag ship) with one 24 pounder and two 18 pounder Uahlgren guns—the steam-* er Ivey with an eight inch 32-pounder, rifled—the steamer Jackson, with two eight-inch columbiads —the Bteamer Me* Rea, with a 64-pounder, mounted on a pivot four eight-inch columbiads, and a 24-pounder, rifled—the steamer Tuscarora, with one eighteinch columbiad, and a 81* pounder, rifled, and the cutter Pickens, with an eight-inch columbiad and four 24- ponnd carronades. The blockadershad the Richmond, Vin* cennes, Preble, Water Witch and the schooner Joseph H. Toone—in all fifty three guns. On Friday night last our fleet Btarted from Fort Jackson, the Manassas leading the way. The night was intensely dark, and the Manasses ran into a vessel, strik* ing her near the bow, and cuttng into her upwards of twenty feet. Appalling shrieks were heard aboard the doomed ship; signal rockets were fired; the enemy beat to quan ters, and a perfect iron hail fell upon and around Manassas, during which her ma chinery became deranged. The Tuscarora and the Watson came up with five barges which had been cut loose and set adrift on the stream. When the morning came our fleet com menced to pursue the retreating enemy, and a heavy cannonading began, which lasted till eight o’clock. Several shots struck the Richmond. The shots from the Yankees were badly aimed, as they did not touch one of our vessels. When the firing ended the fleet returned to the city, with the prize schooner Joseph H. Toone, loaded with coal, and which had been de* serted during the night. A large quantity of lumber, which had been intended for the construction of a fortification at the head of the Passes, was burned. ]SECOND DESPATCH.] New Orleans, October 14.—The prizes captured were the Joaoph H. Toone, and launch belonging to the Federal steamer Richmond, which latter was laden with cutl&9ses. The vessel sunk was not the Preble, but the Vincennes. Three vessels of our expedition arrived on Saturday night. Death op the Emperor of China. — The steamer Etna brings the announce* ment of tho death of Fein-Foung, Emper* or of China. The Emperor had been sick for a long time and his demise was there■ fore not unexpected. He was born in 1805 and ascended the throne in 1851. He leaves four sons and one daughter. Of the sons, YftoWei, the eldest, becomes Emperor. From Arkansas. We find the following interesting items from Arkansas in a letter of the For The Post. Rolla correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat A gentleman arrived here yesterday from''Jacksonport, Jackßon county, Arkansas. Ho went to that place from Illinois about eighteen monthß since, and engaged in school teaching, Being of Union proclivities, and having been watched rather too olosely for com fort,, he resolved to leave the State. lie left Jacksonport about four weeks since,’ was taken rick on the road, and crossed the Arkansas line two weeks ago. At Batesville he heard that Hardee was ordered to Kentucky. He saw some of Hardoe’s soldiers at Evening Shades, who were out on furlough. They rep resented that Hardee had shipped part of his troops from Pitman’s Ferry to Kentucky, down the White river. On the route across the border three squads of negroes were met, one of these —numbering some,sixty or seventy was on the way to Mississippi, having been taken from owners eight or ten miles west of Springfield, Missouri. At Jack's Fork, in the southeast part of Texa3 county, Mo., he came across Hamilton Lenox. The latter had been pilfering and pillaging the country un der the pretence of getting supplies for the Confederate army My informant is well posted in regard to the situation of affairs in Aakansas. and his story is mostly a repetition of a twice told tali;. Proscription of suspeet od Union men was common, and outra ges were being committed against life and property. Since the troubles com menced it was estimated that over .*OO persons had been hung or shot in the State for tho manifestation of Union sentiments. In Independence county aloue five persons have been bung and shot. The merchants were the most ultra secessionists, one of the secret springs of action among this class being the heavy indebtedness owing to Hast ern creditors. Arkansas has about thirteen regi ments of twelve months’ men in the Confederate service. All the pay the troops have received has been in Ar kansas war bonds, and a good deal of murmering was heard amoDg the sol diers owing to the worthlessness of this currency, some writing home that they could not even purchase a chicken with a hat full of the bonds. Three regiments for the three years’ service were called upon to rendezvous at Batesville and Clarksville. The call had been out a month, and not a man had enlisted yet. Groceries were very scarce and high ; coffee was selling at fifty cents a pound, and salt from 8-i to Sfi per sack. Sugar dear. The cotton crop was damaged considerably by the wet weather during the latter part of August and forepart of September, causing the planters to look down-spirited. 'The corn crop was very liue. Hopes were entertained by many of the planters that England would not recognize the blockade, but as this now seemed improbable, some of the most pulitio were hinting about a reconstruction of the Union, and talking about its advantages when compared with the present deplorable state of things. Allairs In Kentucky—Plans and Pur poses of the hiieni). A correspondent c f the Loui.-v.ile nal, writing from .Lebanon, Jv.y., under date of 1-Uh met. say?: Three men parsed through Lebanon yes terday afternoon on their way to their homes from tho SDuthern Confederacy. Ttmy say that the divisions under Buck nor, Folk and 7. •HinuflVr are combining, and Dint wh**n Die commands are finally joined, the grand army Folk will embrace from :10,0<*0 to 40,000 men, who are wcil armed and equipped. It is the policv of tho rebels to draw out General Buusseau’s forces as far as possible on tho lino of the Louisville and Nashville road, and then with their superior force to flank General liou3sean. cut off his retreat, and then, with the Federal forces completely in their power, to make an easy conquest of Louievillo. The officers of the rebel array, they say, are regularly informed as to the move ments of tho Federal forces, i&miliar with their numbers, and posted as to their lead* ing designs. The rebel spiel are Baid to be cunning and active, employing means heretofore unheard of to acquaint them selves with the movements of the Federals. Thoy pass our lines upon forged passes, and even obtain pass s through the connivance and interference of persons of influence who are thought to be loyal. It is the cub* tom of rebel horsemen to rip open their saddlee, secrete their correspondence in them, sow them up again, and thus avert detection, even after submitting to a rigid search. In some cases, they secrete letters in the lining of their horses’ bridles, and thus elude the Federal guards. Roger Hanson is in Woodsonvillo, which ib the nearest point toward Louisville on the Nashville road, at which the rebels have considerable force. They are making entrenchments and erecting batteries there, and will strong.y oppose the Fedro&l ad vance beyond Woodsonville- They say that on Sunday they saw twelve heavy pieces of artillery there, which were being placed in position. INDIANS IN THE CONFEDERATE CAMP. The travelors spoke with a display of glee of the condition and numbers of the rebel army; of the perfect confidence which they felt in an early victory ; and of the completeness of their armaments and gen eral outfit, They saw a body of over two thousand Indians, who were splendidly equipped, each bearing a boxoie knife to almost fabulous proportions, in addition of the ordinary arms worn by the infantry. The New York Journal of Commerce, alluding to the great commercial change in that city since last year, Bays: Few persona not accustomed to examine the figures, are fully aware of the change which has taken place here the current vear. In 1860, we imported at this port $103,927,100 of dry goods, $126,481,030 uf general merchandise, and $8,852,330 in specie; while we exported hence to foreign parts $103,492,280 in produce and mer chandise, and $42,191,171 in specie. In other words, we brought in, beside specie, two hundred and thirty million dollars imports, and sent out only one hundred and three millions in return. This year the imports and exports, exclusive of specie, have been “neck and neck.” At the be ginning of this week these two totals stood at almost exactly the same figures, the total of each being a fraction over one hundred and one million of dollars. Up to last oven* ing the total exports since January Ist were a little ahead, and had reached the whole amount (say one hundred and three millions) shipped for the twelve months of 1860; while the importß wore only one hundred and two millions, or a falling off from the total for the same time last year of ninety million dollars 1 Waiting for dead men’s shoes is, in moat cases, a bootless affair. Great Change. Ministers Mason and Slidell. 1 That faithful and industrious chronicle of passing events, Occasional of who I’hila. Press, prints tho following pleasing picture of the Southern Ministers to England and France: Jefferson Davis understands the fitness of things. He selects his instruments like a workman who knows bis business. Con ecious of the task he has undertaken, which iB neither more nor less than the ovethrow of a humane and liberal Govern* ment, and the establishment upon its ruins of an unrelieved despotism, —be makes no move that does not harmonize with bis settled purposes. WheQ he appointed James M, Mason as Minister to England, and John Slidell us minister to France, to represent the Southern treason, he acted upon the theory that they, of all men, were most competent to advocate this trea son, because they had been prominent in its origin, and are naturally identified with its destiny. 1 have frequently referred to Mason. A more arrogant, offensive, die* tatonal demagogue never lived. As os* tantatious and as stately as Dombey, he may, nevertheless, be called the Pumblec* book of the Secession conspiracy. Vain of his mediocrity, which ho mistakes for etatemansbip, he cannot see that he ia laughed at by his associates and despised by every decent man. His arroeanco would be insufferable it it wore not ridicu* loui; and all that fondness t >r aristocratic examples and opinions, which other men would rather conceal, he takes pleasure in duplaying on every occasion What, then, induced the so called President Da* vis to send this wretched quack to Eng land The answer is, because he is the slave of slavery —the worshipper of Eng land, and the remorseless enemy of every thing like national liberty If be disgusts our English enemies by his conceit and bluster, they will receive him with open arms on account of his undying hatred of all republican doctrines. John Slidell is a man of another temperament. His first quality is a dogged obstinacy in pursuing whatever he undertakes, without hesila* tion, to the bitter end. Ey birth a North ern man; ho has for a long time been hastening on tho Southern rebellion. His ambition is unbounded, and among hi« dreams for more than townty years has been the idea that ho might ono day be tho head of a groat pro slavery Govern ment. His abilities are of a higher order than Muon’s. Not much oi a speaker, his strength lies in the skill with wnich he digests, and the resolution with which he presses forward his plane. Married to a French lady, he talks French like a na tive. His tastes are refined, and his habitß of life luxurious and expensive. Like Mason, be has a deepi-eeated horror of tbe canaille and “mud*sill” ol society. He is a traveled as weil as an educated man. and when he reaches, if ever he does reach Paris, he will at once throw himself into a sea of intrigues, and toil with unceasing vigilance to carry out the instructions of Davis. It baa been his study for yoars to establish relations with foreign ministers at Washington, and be will use tbe advan tage thus acquired with considerable ef fect. Affairs at New Orleans, Jack son, Nashville, etc. Dr. H. Bradley, formerly of Now York, but more recently a Burgeon to the 21 Alabama regiment at tho battle of Bull Hud, has arrived at Washington from New Orleans. On the 21st of July he attempt** ed to escape to the federal lines, but was arrested and taken to Montgomery, where be was imprisoned until the 2'»th ult., when he was released, and proceeded to New Orleas, from which c.ty he escaped and reached Washington. Uo furnishes the Star with the following : Business at New Orleans (October 1) was perfectly stagnant, but there was con siderable activity in the way of preparing defenses for New Orleans against Federal invasion. Guns were being mounted on ad the defensible positions of the city. — Four u 2 pounders had been plantod upon , the toj*ot tho custom-house, which build' ing commands tho river for a considerable distance. Twelvo-poundors had been placed upon tho loveo and upon the tops uf such buildings as were deemed strong enough to staod the concussion of boing lired from. A number of light-draught gunboats had boon placed upon Lake Font chartrain to repel any attack made from that direction. Edibles and articles of clothing were getting up to & tig figure in tho way of prices. French cassimere pantaloons sold t«»r $lB, about double their price in New York, and other articles of wear in pro portion. Fresh beef was from 40 to 50 cents per pound; boef steak 60 cents, and tough at that. Flour was $lO por barrel. Sweet potatoes, however, were cheap eaough being obtainable in any quantity at 6 cents per bushel. The planters were much dissatisfied with the refusal of tho Confederate government to allow their cotton access to a market.— There was a large crop, but the planters declare they will let it rot in fields before they will go to the expense of gathering it under the unsatisfactory conditions placed upon its sale through the mistaken policy of the Confederate authorities. There is a difficulty about saving the cotton crop, also, on account of the want of bagging and ropes to bag it with. On his way north, Ur. B. arrived at Jackson, Mississippi, on the 2d of October, and witnessed a grand review of the Con« federate troops there by Gov. Pettus.— There were some 7,000 white soldiers and a number of negro regimentals. The boF diers were pretty well armed, but poorly clad. At Huntsville, Alabama, there was an encampment of some twenty regiments of Confederate soldiers. At Nashville there was quite a force acting as a Home Guard for the defense of that place. Ex- Senator Henry 8. Foote was at Nashville, and a violent secessionist, Ex-Governor Win. Brown was also at Nashville, — Though avowedly secesh, he was believed not to be particularly sound on the Con federate gooso, and to really indulge hank erings after the good old Union. At GaU latina, eighteen miles from Nashville, there was a large force of cavalry under a Nashville lawyer by the name of Ewing. The talk among the rebels there was gen erally about an expected advance upon Paducah, At Bowling Green, Ky., our informant found Gen. JBuckner with some 3,000 men well armed and comfortably clad in Ken tucky jeans. Senator Breckinridge was three miles beyond, (towards Louisville,) with 7,000 men, well armed, clothed and shod. Col. Albert Rust, of Ark., (ex*member of Con gress,) was with him as colonel of the sth Arkansas Regiment. On his way Ur. B. oncounterok the fa mous fighting bishop, Gen. Polk, on his way to the Beat of war with his troops.— Polk is a rigid disciplinarian, and Bits up o’ nights to perfect himself in military tac* tics. At Montgomery, Ala., the Confederates fired cannon and had fireworks and a torchlight porcesßion on hearing of the death of General Lyons. following statement appears in the Atlas, a London "Weekly journal; “We understand that one of the most efficient modes by wbich the American government attracts our young soldiers in Canada across the frontier is to Bend over a deputation of the fair sex, armed, in addition to their personal charms, with pockets full of dollars, twenty of which thoy are authorized to offer each soldier as a premium for desertion. Bad words, like bad shillings, are often brought home to the person who has uttered them. The Duke of Newcastle Upon American Affair* The l)uke of Newcastle, n member of the English government, and thecompan ion of the Princo of Wales in hi* last yearns viait to this country, made a speech a few weeks ago before the R bln Hood Rifles, an English volunteer organization in which he spoke of the battle of Bull Run os the result, not of a want of cour age— for he didn’t tclievo that they w:re one whit 1 c&e brave than the English from which they sprung —but a lack of disci pline. In conclusion he sail: ‘■Having touched upon that subject, I will only say one word in reference to it, viz: that I know that every man in this town has only too good reason, apart from the affection whom he bears to his country* men across the Atlantic—for still we must call them so—lsay he has too good reason, independently of tins consideration, to re gret that civil war ; and I am certain that you will ail join with me in the earnest hope that further shedding of blood may be spared and before the lapse of any long time that calamitous war may be brought to a closo.” A Touch of "Wjvtkp. iv N 1 w Hamp shire —The first fm-t «th oc curred at the "W hito M- u'.’.ain* < n Tuesday 'night.
