Sale of Pittsburgh, Port Wayne
and Chicago Bail Boad.
On Thursday this Road was sold, at
Cleveland, under an order of the U 1 S.
District Court for the Northern District
of Ohio. The sale was made by .1 ohn
Ferguson and Thos. E. Walker, Trustees
and Master Commissioners, toJ. F. D.
Lanier, Esq., for 12.000,000, that being
the highest of the four bids which were
made for the property.
Mr. Lanier made the bid for the Pur
chasing Committee (Lanier, Thomson,
Hanna, Tilden and Meyer) heretofore
appointed by the parties in interest.—
The Court confirmed the sale the same
day, and the purchase money was at
the same time paid over to the Receiver
to await the order of distribution by tbe
Court.
We learn that the purchasers will take
actual possession of the Road on tbe Ist
of November, and then proceed to the
formation of a new company as fast as
practicable, under an act of Assembly of
this State. The style of the new corpo
ration will be the “ Pittsburgh, Port
Wayne and Chicago Railway Company,”
the only change from the old one being
to designate the track as a way, instead
of a road.
GEN. FB.EMONT.
Although the public service required
the sacrifice, we rather sympathize with
the “woolly horse” pathfinder than oth
erwise. He had a delightful time of it
in his position in St. Louis and his re
moval will go hard with him for Borne
time to come.
When the rebellion Erst broke out,
the arithmeticians in the service figured
our expenses at “a million a day,” but
Fremont spent more than that every
day since he took charge in Missouri.—
_Thefact is, “he was carrying on for bim-
although he operated with Uncle
Sam's resources. Reaving office after
having so magnificent a time of it, will
be rather inconvenient to the proprietor
of Mariposa; but likeot her unfortunates
who have luxuriated in snug places, but
who are now tasting the “sweets and
uses of adversity,” he must content
himself with the recollection of what a
Bplendid time he had while in command
of the Western division, Fremont
should not have waited to be turned out;
when he found the Blairs after him so
furiously, backed by the Cabinet at
Washington, ho should have gracefully
bid good evening and retired down
stairs, and not waited to be shoved into
the street. It is thought that two weeks
ago the President had made up his mind
upon the propriety of Fremont's removal.
Loyalty in Eastern Virginia
Information received from a variety
of reliable sources in Eastern Virginia
go to show great discontent among the
people and in the camps. The manage
ment of the so called Southern Govern
ment does not meet the approbation c f
the it subjects them to
all aorta of sacrifices and privations, it
bestows no advantages in return, it is
now confidently believed that, but tor
the presence of the Southern army,
Eastern Virginia would be willing to
return to the Union. The troops who
arrived in Loudon county the other day,
belonging to Gen .Banks’ division, were
well treated by the inhabitants.
Should General McClellan succeed in
the coming battle, there is no doubt but
that the rebel government will evacuate
for a more Southern locality, and that
the Old Dominion will, like theother bor
der States, seek protection from the gen
eral governmen t against rebel aggression.
The First Battle.
It is now generally conceded, says the
New York World, that the first great bat
tle in the advance will probably take place
at Oentreville. ■ The rebel army is massed
between that point and Bull Run in force.
From the cautious manner of McClellan’s
advance they see that it will not do to give
up Oentreville heights without a struggle,
as they may be used to shell tbe batteries
on the old battle ground. Prom the pres
ent rate of advance, it’ may be a week be
fore Gen. McClellan reaches that point.
There may, however, be a dash in another
direction as a diversion, but it how looks
BS though there will be a series of battlcß—
,at Oentreville, Bull Run, and Manassas.
With equal bravery and even loss men our
immense advantage in rifled cannon and
arms ought to give us tbe victory.
▲ Short Campaign.
The telegraph tells us that Col. Wil
son has resigned the eommand of the
22d Massachusetts regiment, and Capt.
Saxton, of the regular army, has been
appointed his successor. Nobody will
regret this change, since it gives the
services of a valuable officer to the
country, instead of the “word of prom
ise” only of 001. Wilson. But we
must remonstrate against the whole
proceeding by which this U. S. Senator
has made use of his official and party
influence to raise men, whom it was
COflStfjJtly alleged he was to i oa< i to !
the field, and whom he now leaves at
the very outskirts of the camp, it i 8
■neither more nor less than a sheer im
position. The public has been bubbled
into a. sort of artificial enthusiasm about
&1 Wilson’s regiment—one of our co
teinporaries, we remember, during the
process of recruiting declared him “the
moat popular man in the State,” a
splendid charger was procured for him
subscription; regimental colors were
formally preserf ted to the troops, under
Ids 'Btfspioes y and yet* so soon, the
wlidte; fofaras he is concerned, turns
OHfcasasua)}' ’’ to “have been 'fwords—
words."
Conviction of Smith, the Jeff Davis
Pirate.
The telegraph announces the conviction
of Smith, one of the pirates of the Jeff.
Davis, at Philadelphia. The crime of
piracy is punishable by death. The fol*
lowing points were submitted by Smith's
counsel, Mr. Harrison, in his opening for
the defence:
Firs lf tbe Confederate States of America is a
Government, either de facto or de jure, it had a
right to issue letters of marque and reprisals and
if issued before the commission of the alleged of
fence, that the defendant, acting under the authon
ty of such letters, would be a privateer, and not a
pirate, and, as such, is entitled to be acquitted.
Second, That if st the time of the alleged offence
the Southern Confederacy, by actual occupation, as
well as acts of Government, had so far acquired the
mastery or control ol the particular territory with
in its limits as to enable it to exercise authority
over and to demand and exact allegiance from its
residents, that then a resident of such Confedera
cy owes allegiance to tiie Government under whi<-h
he lives, or. at least, that by rendering allegiance
to sHch Government, whether on sea or land, he
did not thereby become a iraitor to the Govern
ment of the United States.
TWrd, That, if at the time of the alleged offence,
and the issuing of the letters of marque and repri
sals upon which the defendant acted, the Courts of
the United States were so suspended or closed in
Om Southern Confederacy as to be no longer able
u> administer justice and to enforce the law in such
Confederacy, that the defendant thereby became
ho far absolved from hi? allegiance to tne L uited
States aa to enable him to take up arms for and to
enter the service of the Southern Confederacy,
either on land or sea, without becomitga traitor
to the Government of the United States.
Jfaurth, That,il at the time of the alleged offence
and hia entering intothe service of the Southern
Confederacy, the defendant was so situated as to be
unable to obtain either civil or mi itary protection
lrom the United States, whilst at the same time he
aas compelled to render either military or nava
service to the Southern Confederacy, or to leave
the country; and, in this event, to have his prop
erty sequestrated or confiscated by the laws of the
said Confederacy, that such a state of things, if
they existed, would amoun’, in law, to snob duress
as entitles the defendant here to an acquittal.
Fifth, That this Court has no jurisdiction of the
case, because the prisoner, after his apprehension
on the high seas, was first brought into another
district, andought to have been there tried.

From the St. Louiß Republican,
Opening the Lexington Wound
St. Louis, Ootober 21.
Mr Editor : The Democrat of to
day compliments Col. Mulligan’s bra
very at the expense of his jndgment.
Its excuse is the one already advanced
by the Chicago Tribune for a similar
discrimination, viz: that the Colonel
“should have retreated from Lexington
when he discovered that he was about to
be assailed."
Now, sir, I am one of those who know
something about the Colonel’s reasons
for making the stand he did, under
the circumstances, and I believe that
if those newspaper writers were only so
well acquainted with both the reasons
and the man, they would come to the
conclusion that Mulligan has as dear
and fertile an intellect, and a little
more knowledge of a Boldier’s obliga
tions, than the be3t of them. I can
state positively, that the Colonel, before
leaving Jefferson City under orders to
march on Lexington, was fully aware
of the advance of Price towards the lat
ter place, and in such force as to render
it impossible that the Major General
would send him forward without fol
lowing him up with a strong force. I
can state positively, that the Colonel
on leaving Jefferson City, considered
he was sent merely as an avant courier
to occupy Lexington and to attract the
attention of the detached State troops
in front, whilst the converging col
umns of the Federate should have
time to gather on their flanks and rear
in effective numbers. I can stato pos
itively, that he regarded his appoint
ment to the command of the post, so
soon after the disgraoe and dismissal ol
two or three running and treaty-ma
| king Colonels on duty on the North
Missouri, as the initiation of a series of
contemplated movements, having in
view the holding of that place, under
every possible conditipn of circumstan
ces. I can state positively,that those rea
sons all sufficiently strong to justify him
looking to headquarters for the policy
and developments which his orders
seemed to foretel, and these alone,
oaused him to Btay in Lexington, to
further what he considered meant a
military combination, or could have no
possible meaning if it were not.
Tne fact is—and every military man
will conoede it—if Mulligan should
have been sent, under the circumstan
ces known at headquarters in this city,
to Lexington, it should have been in
tended that he would stay there, or cn
the other hand, if it were not so con
templated, he Bhould not have been
sent at all
For one, sir, I hold Mulligan had no
right to expect a retreat from Lexing
ton was an open resource to him, and I
hold besides, that the more Mulligan
is attempted to be written down on his
Lexington business, for eertain purpo
ses, the more will the said Colonel es
cape such a sacrifice before an enlight
ened and therefore appreciative public,
who expect Colonels to obey orders,
fight bravely, and presume that they
are not themselves in chief command,
but mere agents of a oapable and oom'
prehensive Major-General
ANTI-HUMBUG,
Who Gen. Halleok is
The inquiry is in everybody’s mouth,
who is General Halleok, who rumor
says is to succeed __ General McClellan
in command of the army of the Poto
mao. The following account of him,
which we find in an exchange paper,
is the only information we can ob
tain.
General Henry Wager Halleok is
one of the four Major Generals of the
United States army. He was born in
New York and entered the Militaiy
Aoademy as a West Point oadet in 1835.
He Btood third in the class, and was
brevetted Second Lieutenant of Engi
neers in 1839. He was Acting Assist
r°f A SSO j ° f Engineering at the
Mditary Academy from June, 1839, to
June 1840. In 1841 was the author
of a military work on “Bitumen and its
Uses,” &c. Appointed First Lieuten,
ant in January, 1845.
In 1846 he wrote,* work entitled the
‘‘Elements of Military Art and Soi
ences." In 1817 wasbrevettedCaptain
for gallant conduct in affairs with the
enemy on the 19th and 20th days of No
vemher, 1847, and for meritorious ser
vice in California. Was Secretary of
State of the province of California in
the military governments of Generals
Kearney, Mason and Riley, from 1847
to the eDd of 1849.
He was Chief of the Staff to Commo
dore Shubrick in naval and military op
erations on the Pacific coast in 1847
and 1848, and was a member of the
Convention in 1849 to form, and of the
Committee to draft, the constitution of
the State of California. In July, 1853,
he was appointed Captain of Engineers,
and resigned on August 1, 1854. He
now appears as a Major General, his
commission bearing date August 19,
1861.
What Has Been Done in Six
Months.
Six months ago the great conspiracy
of the Southern aristocracy bloomed
out into open rebellion. Let us re
view the months which have passed
since the day of Sumter, and see what
we have done. Six months ago we had
not 600 soldiers within reach of a de
fenoeless oapital. To-day we have
probably two hundred thousand armed
on the line of the Potomac, and another
hundred thousand in the West. Six
months ago we had not arms to put in
to the hands of seventy-five thousand
volunteers; to-day we have muskets,
cannon, UTld every supply in abundance
for four times the number. Six months
ago we cculd neither feed nor move an
army of five thousand men ; to-day ev.
ery department of our military organiza
tion is complete, and we can make war
across the continent. Six months ago
we had not a dozen ships at hand ; to
day we number our navy by the hun
dred, and are guarding a coast line of
more than two thousand miles. Six
months ago the Government oould
scarcely borrow a few hundred thous
and at twelve per cent. ; to-day twelve
millions of peoplo lend it fifty millions
at par. Six months ago the question
was would tlie people support the Gov
ernment ; to-day the only question is
whether the Government will support
the people.
Americans in Paris—The Wife of
Lieut- Gen. Scott.
| Correspondence of the London Star
Paris, Saturday, Sept. 'IS, 1861.
Among the Northerners now at Par
is is the wife of Gen. Scott. Site had
a very narrow escape of being among
the passengers in the Great Eastern
when that steamer met with its latest
and most serious accident. Her passage
was actually taken, and she was on the
eve of setting out when an American
gentleman, whom Gen. Pcott had re
quested to come all the way from New
York to he her esoort over the Atlantic,
arrived at Paris, and having some mat
ters to arrange here, which would cause
a delay of two or three days, she was
obliged to defer her voyago for a few
days and has not since been able to
leave Paris. Mrs. Scott is in a very
delicate state of health, and quite a
martyr to nervousness. She 1-. not
able to read the newspapers till some
friend lookß over them, assures her
that there are no evil tidings from the
North, and that nothing has happened
to any member of her family, of which
her husband is not the only ono who
has taken up arms in defenoe of the
Federation. Close to the house in
which Mrs. Scott is staying lives an.
other American lady, of some celebrity
in hot country —Mrs. Ritchie, who is
better known as Mrs. Anna Cora Mow
utt. This lady, who is of Northern
birth and education, retired from the
stage on l.er second marriage with a
wealthy Southern planter. She is still
remarkably pretty as well as peculiarly
fascinating in her manners, and although
past middle age, docs not look a day
older than she did fourteen years ago ;
nor is the slightest token of advancing
years to be seen in her hair, which
still preserves the beautifully burnished
look, and would be remarkably luxuri
ous even for a young girl. There are
also some near relations of Gen. John
ston among the Americans here, who,
however, are not less anti-slavery than
any of the Beecher family.
The Future Queen of England.
Those who have an interest in the
conjugal fate of tho Prince of Wales
will be pleased to know that the Prin
cess Anna of Denmark, one of the la*
dies spoken of as his destined bride, is
just fifteen, very fair, with a most bril-
liant complexion, and lovely fair hair,
clustering in thiok curls about her neck
and shoulders. Her lloyal Highness
has been most carefully brought up,
and is possessed of a most splendid
musical talent, cultivated to its utmost
extent by the first masters in Europe.
Altogether, she is considered one of
the most accomplished prinoeuses in
Europe; and her portrait, in white
muslin, with bluo ribbons, and a single
rosebud in her golden hair, long form
ed one of the greatest attractions of
Giroux’s exhibitions at the Boulevards.
The Prinocss of Hesse Darmstadt is not
so well known, but is described as be
ing fair and comely, with chesnut hair,
and is rot only the beauty of the
family, but is remarkable for great
sweetness and amiability of disdosition,
and is also slightly “blue.” The Grand
Ducal Palace, at which the Prinoess
Alice is to reside, bears the reputation
of a little paradise on earth, because of
its undisturbed harmony.
Snuff and Tobacco. —The oon«
sumption of snuff and tobaocco has in*
creased so considerably of late years in
France that the Government has found
it necessary to increase the number of its
manufactories. It is proposed to create
an additional imperial establishment at
Dijon. The choice of that town is ex
plained by its proximity to the newly
annexed province of Savoy, where to
bacoo is cultivated on a large soale.—
There are, at present, ten imperial to
baoco manufactories, directed by grade*
ates of the Polyteohnio School. They
employ not less than eight thousand
operatives during the entire year.
The Philadelphian's have got up a
splendid sword for McClellan —pearls
and diamonds on the hilt and a silver
American eagle siezing a golden rat
tlesnake.
