EFFECT OF THU WAE UPON
BUSINESS.
The effect of a change from a state or
peace to one of war, last spring—a wat
the most disturbing and alarming of all
ware—was to stem and parolyze the
country, destroy confidence, and put a
stop both *o commercial and manufac
turing enterprise. But it did not stop
the labors of the fanners, nor the grow
ing of .crops, nor the consumption of
provisions, nor the wearing out ol gar.
ments. All these work on as usual; and
how,after the lapse of nine months, their
mighty aggregate powers are beginning
to tell. As people will still eat and wear
they must buy; and if they buy some
body must sell, and somebody else
must raise or make what they sell; and
so all the avocations of life are forced
into a state of life and activity, to the
advantage of all. Business is reviving,
because people must have things, and
people must work that these things may
be had. This is the great social law of
civilized life, and neither war nor any
thing else within the range of human
power can arrest its operation.
Passing by one of our largest rolling
mills yesterday, whioh has been as silent
as a cemetery for several months, we
heard the clink of hammers and the
sound of bricklayers’ trowels, indicating
an early resumption of active operatiens.
This \js in accordance with the law ol
which we have just been speaking. The
country needs iron and nails, and these
men are ready to supply that want.
Now, who can estimate the effect of the
starting of one rolling mill upon the
country for a large circle around it, a
circle that will reach beyond the Mißis-
Bippi? For in the great socialsyatem one
thing starts another, and that a third,
and so on indefinitely’. We have only
spoken of one mill, and that merely to
illustrate a principle; but the prospect
now is that all our mills will be in mo
tion before long.
The effect of the vast expenditure of
the government upon the general busi
ness of the country is a very interesting
Bubjeot of inquiry. Were we obliged to
send to foreign countries for money, for
supplies of food and clothing, and for
arms, such a war as this would exhaust
and impoverish the country very soon ;
hut as all these things can be and are
procured at home, there is no exhaustion
at all. It only acts as a stimulus to the
circulation of money, which is, to the
business world, what blood is' in the
animal Bystem, causing it to flow out
through countless channels to the ex
tremities, whence it flows back again
with almost equal celerity, only to be
again driven out by the mighty pulsa
tions of the heart, and so on in perpetual
revolution—stirring, stimulating and in
vigorating every thing. Its cflect is
similar to that of violent gymnastic ex
ercise to the animal system—healthful
and strengthening, if not continued ‘too
long.
The loss of the productive labor of four
hundred thousand men, and of many
thousands of> horses, together with the
labor expended upon a thousand appli
ances of destruction, is, it is true, so
much dead loss ; but how far this may
be compensated for by the increase of
useful, productive industry on the part
of those who are left at home, and by
greater economy in domestic life, we
cannot say. It is, however, not a whole
some state of things, no more than a
state of violent exercise is to the anirnsj
system—very well for a little while, but
destructive if maintained too long.
The enormous expenditure by govern
ment for provisions, for horses and wag
ons, for the payment of troops, and for
countless other things necessary to the
prosecution of this great war, is scatter
ing money among the people of the in
terior more rapidly than anything that
has ever occurred in our history. The
effect must necessarily be to give new
energy to every department of industry
and draw forth the latent resources of
the country, the permanent effect of
which will be a vast augmentation oT
national wealth, individuals will bo
variously effected, but the aggregate re
sult will be good. It may be that when
the wheels of business shall get into mo.
tion again, they may, under the high
pressure of rapid circulation, run too
fast; but still, whatever may happen to
Borne, as a whole the country will be car
ried forward to a far higher, richer and
more independent condition, possessed
of far more diversified and wide-spread
resources.
When the war is over, a more steady
and sober state of things will succeed ;
prices will recede, but there need be no
collapse. The country is full, of money
now, and it will remain so; full of re
sources, and they will be needed ; full of
manufactories,and they too will be need
ed; fall of men returning from camp to
the usual avocations of life, but the great
tours of them will find their places and
plenty of employment. The vast ex-
penditure of the governmen t is now send
jngeapital into every nook and comer of
our territory, and when there shall be no
more bccasion to borrow, the enormous
national dbWrSll held at home; willptfuse
thelifesustaining circulation tooontinue,
and upon that great sub-stratum and
bond of union the country may safely
rely for the stability Of every other in
terest.
A national debt, payable to foreigners
and rivals, is ruinous, but if payable at
borne it is a positive benefit in many re
spects. It gives stability to government, I
because the holders of its bonds are di
rectly aiid pecuniarily interested in its
niaintenance, .it gives, for the same rea
son, greater security of faithful adminis-
I tration. It gives steadiness and regular
ity to monetary a flairs by the regular
periodical disbursement of large sums in
the Bhape ot interest. It secures a wise
and stable Bystem of imposts upon impor
tations, necessarily large enough to afford
wholesome protection to the national in
dustry. The bonds ol the governin'nt
always in high credit and of Bteady
performs almost the same functions in
large business transactions as so much
gold and silver, rendering it almost im
possible that any more of those disas
trous collapses so often experienced in
this country should recur. And last and
best, it will put an end to the mad her
esy of secession; for individual interest,
apart from any higher consideration, will
make it the interest of the people to up
hold the government and its credit.—
Suppose the government had had, say
two hundred millions of its bonds in the
hands of the people of the cotton and
tobacco States, would there have been
any rebellion ? Not a bit of it.
We have confined our observations
exclusively to the effect, present and
prospective, of this war upon the mate
rial interests of the country, and wc
think we have shown that there is
nothing before us calculated to
excite alarm on that ground. Prov
idence has brought about a concate
nation of circumstances as remarkable
as they are auspicious. For twelve years
the newly discovered tj&asures of Cali
fornia have been pouring in upon us, and
for most of the time the How was only
fhrovyh this country to Europe ; hut for
the last nine months it has been flowing
back in a volume beyond all former ex
ample, so that this day there is more
gold by seventy or Beventy-five mil
lions iu the country than ever be
fore ; and for almost another year there
is likely to be little or no abatement to
the influx. Thus does this country pre
sent the remarkable spectacle of feeding
one continent ahd fighting what mightbe
called another, at the same moment, and
doing both out ef its own vast and ever
acccumulating stores.
NEUTBALITY OP KENTUCKY.
The emancipation idea advanced by our
radical abolition presß is producing incal
culable mischief in the border Slates. From
the breaking out of the war until the pres
ent, the secessionists have insisted that tbe
North wished to snbjugate them. In this
way they are growing more and more
united every day, and the Northern aboli
tion papers are quoted to show that tho war
upon our part is meant to bring about
emancipation, and that they are resisting,
and are fighting solely for their homes and
families.
The Louisville Journal, which, from the
beginning of the rebellion, has fought the
secessionists with unparalleled gallantry,
almost despairs of tho Union cause, and
for the folljwlng reasons. It will be teen
that'very few defenders of the Union cause
aro to be found in Kentucky:
“We have Been when the occasion of
raising a national flag over our Court-houso
attracted a concourse which was estimated
at thirty thousand people; we have known
five to eight thousand men attend to hear
the speeches of our Union orators, and we
have, within the last twenty-four hours,
witnessed at least ten thousand persons
gathered on the levee to look at the steam
boats which bore to our city the nobio
Eastern and Northern troops, wbicn have
fo promptly come the aid of .Kentucky.
Bttt,where are our own enlisted soldiers for
this'war? Why is not Col. Pope’s regi
ment full ? Why cannot Col. Bay lea find
men for his cavairy? and why is it that
there is hardly one full company raised in
this vicinity ? Bo we live among laggardß
not to be stimulated by the trump of war,
the tramp of armed invaders, or the calls
of our eloqaont recruiting officers for n&'
teri&l aid ?
We would prefer that our vigorous fol
low citizsns should realize the duty and
importance of promptly joining the volun
teers for the war rather than wait for any
one to stimulate them. It looks almost
like an insult to our young men and to oar
mechanics out of employment to argue that
even in a money point of viow enlistment
is far preferable to idleness. Arm for your
country, and your family will be provided
for by those who are exempt by age from
service. Arm, and the prayers of your
wives and mothers for your safety will as
cend, as do the songs of the Tyrolese
women, repeated at night, until the ca
dences are answered by the joyous return
of their loved ones from the chase. There
will be immeasurable disgrace heaped upon
Kentucky if she falters now and leans for
support upon her younger brothers. Even
Minnesota, almost the Benjamin of the
family group, is here with its stalwart sons.
Minnesota, a State only three years old last
May, sends over one thousand men under
an experienced West Point graduate, who
has'served in Florida and Mexico, to offer
their swords and lives to the defense of
Kentucky. Eternal shame, then, Ken
tuckians, if you are lagga.'ds now, and
supinely allow others to carry off the prize
of glory. Let the calls which are made
upon you by your military leaders fire your
souls and awake every manly impulse in
your bosoms.
GEN. FEBMONT.
"We have seen nothing for a day or two
confirming the report of Fremont’s remo
val. At latest dates from Missouri he was
after Price, and the government now is
said to be disposed to wait and gvie him an
opportunity of retrieving himself. The
different divisions of the army under his
oommand are moving rapidly to the south
western part of Missouri, and there seemß
to be a prospect that they will overtako
the rebel Seneral Price before he reaches
the Arkansas frontier, and will give him
battle. If Price should be too fast for
them they will pursue him into Arkansas.
Missouri will thus be cleared of the rebels,
and the war will be carried within the
borders of the so-called Confederate States,
where it properly belongs. If Fremont
once gets into Arkansas with a large army
he will have a good country for military
operations. There are no mountains, and
no rivers of any magnitude, except the I
White and the Arkansas, which can be !
crossed without great difficulty. The '
climate, also, is favorable, at this Beason, j
jfpr military movements. We may look for !
stirriltg news from this Western army very
goon. _
A Qualification.—A, merchant lately
tfdverusiftg'for a’clerk, “who could hoar
confinement,” received an answer from one
who had been ten years in the State prism..
What We have Achieved.
Notwithstanding our litlle d raw hacks, we I
have done a good deal since the war broke
out. When ii began, Maryland, Kentucky
and Missouri woro substantially lost to üb,
from misconceptions, errors, and want of
political knowledgeon thepartoftbe Pres
ident ard his Cabinet, in not lending their
influence to tho Peace Congress. All three
of these States have been rescued, —unless
it be tho latter, but that arrested only by
the change of the commanding General
Harney, for Fremont. We have an in
domitable hold now upon Fortress Mon a
roe and the Chesapeake, which, until April
Ist we held but by a hair. Fort Pickens
and Key West are irrevocably ours, when
April Ist, they were almost anything but
ours, —so that now wo have command of
the Gulf of Mexico. The whole Pacific
coast, very doubtful April Ist, is now ours,
by tho patriotism of its own people, it is
Lrue. If all the Southern Slates then were
*ost to us, a vast Empire is yot loft enough
to pay National Debt, accruing in a 20
years’ war. We have improvised an army
100 of about 600,000 men. Wo have impro
vised a Navy also, and that a powerful one
100. Wo have nearly shut up, scaled up,
every Southern port Kentucky and Ma
ryland, from being enemies, are now se
cure friends. No nation on earth, in so
short a time, not oven Rome, under her
Consuls, ever, in so brief a space, brought
about more. Fran, oin her civil warp, was
months and months, behind us—and Engi
land did not do half so much work, or so
quickly, in boating off the Pretender who,
nt one time, threatened London, tho Cap
ital.
Pennsylvania Soldiers.
From *vn article in tho Harrisburg Tele
showing wlmt Pennsylvania has
done in this crisis, we extract thn follow-
Under tbe three months requisition,
Pennsylvania furnished twenty-live regi
ments, with an aggregate of 20,175 men,
ail ol whom were discharged in July
last.
For throe years, or during the war, the
State has furnished fifty regiments, of which
six are rifle regiments, ami six companies
of infantry, numbering of*,-107 : six rogi
menU of cavalry, numbering 0,028; one
regiment and three companies of artillery,
numbering 1,5 10 making an aggregate in
service of 03,580. If to this be added the
men of Pennsylvania enlisted in Westorn
Virginia, in the District of Columbia vol
unteer?, in thn Maryland brigade, in rogi
ments along the northern border o( tho
Stale, and in Pniladelphia n»r rpgimenls of
other States, estimated at 0 400—tbe above
aggregate of men now in service is Hwoileu
V> 09 HBO.
Tne above estimate includes four regi
ments raised directly for the United States
and also tho Pennsylvania Reserve Corps.
The Stale is now preparing to enter tho
service, twenty-four regiments of infantry,
five regiments and four companies of cav
alry, BDd two companies of artillery,
making an aggregate of 81 ,U9O men.
Of the regiments preparing for service,
she baa now in camp, ready to go into ac
tual service, nine regiments of infantry,
numbering '.*,423 ; 3 regiments of cavalry,
numbering 3,ll4—making an addition of
12,807 to the 00/JSO, and showing Pennsyl
vanians actually in tbe field to the number
of 82,817.
It ts expected that tbe remaining seven
teen regiments and six companies, number
ing 18,250 men, will bo ready to enter tbe
service in ah.<ui six weeks, which will swell
Pennsylvania’s contributions to the war
(exclusive ol the three months men) to the
graDd total of 101.070!

Abolition War upon the Govern
ment.
It is tho sole and body of Aboliiionism
—and has boon now for twenty-five year?,
—to war upon the prt-slavery part of tho
Constitution, tbo Fui'itivo Slave compact,
tho three-fifths principle of slave represen
tation, iVc., ns well as tho laws, and the
administration of tho laws, —that is, upon
the Bapreme Court, and the Federal Gov
ernment. Becossionism and Abolitionism
in this respect are. and over have been,
upon idontical, thorough extremes, —for in
this war upon our wholeeyetem of govern*
ment, tho extremes meet.
ITS MOOES OF ATTACK
The Naticinal And Slavery Standard, of
October ihltb, a paper published in New
York by the American Anti Slavory So
ciety, has a correspondent at Cincinnati, who
U highly commendtd by tho editois, and
to his leitor of this week is appended an
editorial paragraph expressive of the good
he is doing the cause. Thia correspondent
writes from Cincinnati, Oct. lGih, as fol
lows :
As matters now stand, there is a pros
D«ct of a revolution in the West and
North-west, as soon as the politicana of
Washington have filled up the measures of
their iniquities. This they will do. Evil
is always blind enough to d£> just that.
—Deeply are our people alienated
from the administration; and for its
policy (toward slavery their contempt is
profound. The government is perhaps de
ceived by the fact that there are not bo
many violent attacks upon it in the West
ern press as there were three or four weeks
ago. A once conservative Democrat yes
day told me that this comparative quiet is
only that which‘precedes a storm; ne ad
ded, “A few weokß Hgo, the editors and
leaders of public opinion spoke out im
pulsively what they thought and felL; but
now the evidences have come pouring in
that the whole mass of the people is so
near to a volcanic revolution against tho
Administration, that these le&dors hesitate
at every word, for tear that that word will
hasten the tremendous result." I believo
that three cheers proposed for Lincoln in
the Btreets of this city to-day, were he here,
would be responded to by three groans;
and I know that such would be the case
were it Mr. Chase or Mr. Seward.
On the whole, I regard the feeling of
our community here as in a health cona
dition. 1 think considerably belter than
the feeling in the East.
The Journal of Commerce well says :
“A more bold, defiant attack on Gov
ernment, order and law has not appeared
in any paper south of Virginia than is this
which is published in New York under
the very eyes of the Government. We do
not attempt to give the legal name of the
offence, for with tho admisistration of the
law we have nothing to do. But thejfriends
of the administration and tho friends of
the Union should distinctly understand
that the American Anti-Slavery Society is
encouraging a revolution in the North,
and that the newspapers which defend that
body are allied with them."
While Lord Lyons was prevented
by an accidental circumstance "from re
ceiving the invitation to attend the fu
neral of Colonel Baker in time to avail
himself of it ; the French Minister sim«
ilarly excused himself to the Secretary
of State, and the Envoy from Prussia
saySjbis absence on that occasion was
caused by indisposition, for which he
expresses his regret.
Knormous Export of Breadatuifs.
During the last week there were ex
ported from New York to Europe, 1,-
377,546 bushels of grain, and 83,524
barrels of flour, estimated to be worth
two and a quarter millions of dollars.
LATEST NEWS FROM THE SOUTH
The followin'; extracts are taken froth
Southern papers received iu New York
by the steamship McClellan :
reported battle near west point,
VIRGINIA.
Tne Richmond Dispatch, of the 17th,
mentions this rumor :
A report was brought by the York
river train yesterday afternoon, that
heavy firing was heard in the morning,
by persons at West Point, and the in
ference was that a fight had commenced
on the peninsula. We have heard that
Gen. Mansfield lately sent a message
to Gen. Magruder, giving him notice to
evacuate his position within ten days,
and that the latter, in reply, defied him
to come out and attempt to drive him
away. Until we receive a confirmation
of the report circulated yesterday, wc
shall hesitate to believe that any en
gagement has yet taken place.
GEN- MAORUDER.
We learn from a private letter that
on Sunday last an order from Gen Ma
gruder was read in the several camps,
announcing the receipt of positive in
formation that the enemy had lately |
landed soventy rifled cannon and five
hundred artillery horses, at Fortress
Monroe ; that he placed the utmost con
fidence in the patriotism of his troops,
and was satisfied of their determination
to resist any attack; and that under the
circumstances no more fhrloughs would
be granted until after the Ist of Janua
ry. The Federal force at Newport News
has been strongly reinforced.
THE ARRIVAL AT SAVANNAH OF AN
IRON CEAI) VESSEL,
We have announced, on the authority
of a Georgia paper the arrival at Savan
nah of an iron clad vessel, freighted
with munitions of war, Ac. The New
Orleans Delta says : —“A reliable gen
tleman informs us that he was shown a
copy of the manifest of the cargo of the
vessel alluded to above, and that among
other articles were the following : 200
cannons, 8,000 Enfield rifles, 20,000
army pistols, 15,000 sabres, 100,000
blankets, C 5,000 army shoes, 2,000,000
percussion caps, two tons of powder, a
large quantity of quinino, and other
articles much needed by the Confeder
ate army.”
DEFENSES OF TIIE LOtVXR MISSISSIPPI.
The Memphis Appeal says :
Our information from the Crescent city,
received through private souroes, is to
the effect that the iState and city au*
thorities are energetically engaged in
preparing for the defenses of the impor
tant interests on the lower Mississippi,
should the Federal fleet now afloat at
tempt to mak o an attack upon that sec
tion. Governor Moore fully appreci
ates the importance of New Orleans to
Louisiana and the Confederacy, and is
vigorously co-operating with the Con
federate and city officials to resist thG
threatened invasion and save the city
from spoliation. Prominent among the
steps taken is a daily drill of all the
citizens capable of bearing arms. This
preparation is universally pursued ev
ery day, and the citizen soldiery- -the
militia—will soon become experts in
the art of war. J n this particular the
energy displayed by the citizens of the
Cresoent City might with great propris
ety be emulated elsewhere.
