jgpßy reference to our telegraphic
columns ft will be seen that we have
had another engagement on the Poto
mac, in which our forces Buffered defeat.
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

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.

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.”
