An intelligent and shrewd observer, the other day, in Washington, after looking around at a crowd of hungry and cadaverous looking fellowß standing hard by, remarked to a companion, with whom he Was conversing, " la this a contractor's war?” The multitude of these active speculators, augmented, as it is, by' (i swarm of sutlers and other I c amp-followers, doubtloss do often sug-1 gest the inquiry alluded to, I There seems to be another class of individuals, however, not so large a? the one instanced, personally largely inter ested in our present troubles,We mean, of course, a certain class of politicians. | Let us take Fremont as an example,— He was not content with squandering the pjibßo money upon California pets in St.'Louis, but transcended the positive and explicit orders of his government, in order to make an impression ujon political zealots: The defeated candidate of 1886 thought to make his mark for I the sjiccession in '64, but in doing it he I overstepped all bounds of discretion. But mark the consequence of the con-1 duct of thiß daring aspirant, We are now told by the most fanatical of Fre mont's followers that his dismissal from the command of our Western division will prove a disastrous undertaking. This disaster is to happen, not because of any ability Fremont possesses for that command, but because the Westem peo. pie are so wedded to him that there is danger of their seceding from the gen eral government, and forming a republic of their own, with their discarded Gen eral at its head, This absurd story carries weight enough with it to attract attention from some of our Eastern ex- and the Washington corres * pondeDt of the Philadelphia /V:,, in a ' special dispatch, gravely assures liis readers that “itis rumored that Fremont » intends to revolt and defy the orders of the Administration.’’ It would appear from this that the Administration, having interred with Fremont’s Presidential programme, he is determined, with his followers to set up for himself. He and his crew are delighted in crushing Southern rebellion, but when their schemes are interfered with they talk of v rebelling themselves. Fanatical as some of them may be upon the ohimerical idea of negro eman cipation, We have no notion that even Fremont’s immediate followers are pre pared for this new phase of rebellion- It is difficult, however, to anticipate fa natacism, and we do not see why West ern abolitionism may not rush after a popular leader, as the proslavery men of the South have submitted to .fetr Davie. There is a difference between the two sections, however, which is very grent. Thc multitudes of the West are loyal to their gewitnmemt, and these multitudes, lead, by *H« indomitable Democracy of that wait region, will be able to keep their immense territory from being over run by'slwery or of becoming an aboli tion empire. GtSN. PATTERSON presum# that this officer is now abpßijhjß.fceßl 'abused military gentle man in the United States. After the retdri of tie three months volunteers wUp had been under the command of Gein. Patterson, there was scarcely one of them %ho did not denounce him as a cetmrd and traitor. It is true thatfcis coinage and patriotism had nev ertiefare ba** doubted; he went through the Mexieah war in a blaze of glory, and afterits dcpe, he was the theme of eulogy upon the ttmgue* of all of those whom he ooinfetthded.

This piece of political knav ery having been detected and exposed, there is another coming to light. Simi lar returns have been found in relation | to the City Councils, and although not of the same magnitude, are still sufficient to show how desperately daring these Philadelphians are. They seek power. With all the desperation of one of our own Court House officials, and after reaching it resort to all sorts of rascality to retain it. •seSr m- THE IiATTLE AT BALL'S BLUFF' THK EXPLANATORY REPORT OK GENERAL .M'cLKLLAN TO GENERAL BTONK’b RE PORT.

Mr Robert J. Walker expresses the opinion that tho be terminated this winter —that it will sub* stantially end with the present campaign. The fiscal condition of the Confederate government cannot, as he supposes, enable it to maintain a war for another year. — The loan of two hundred and fifty millions of dollarj authorized by Congress at tho late session will probably be obtained and expended by the first of January next. If the banks take a hundred and fifty lions, as they doubtless will, and thirty millions of demand treasury notes be issu ed and kept in circulation, there will re- I main seventy millions to be obtained in somo way, perhaps by offering that por tion of the loan to foreigu capitalists, it issaid that thejJSew Yorkbankscan readily negotiate this amount in Europe,if the gov ernment desire it. CEKEKAL FREMONT, TOE BLAIR FAMILY. The St. Louis Republican is flightin': the Blair family valiautly in their eru Bade against Fremont. Its issue of Saturday last says : tlcn. Fremont could not be used by Mr. Blair. Neither his interests nor the interests of the olique that support ed him, were thought by Gen. Fre mont unite so important as the interests of the Government and tho nation. Gen. Fremont had as h: had a right to have, his own views of how his depart ment should be managed in its various subdivisions ; and without any dogged and perverse deaf-earedness to sound or even well meant advice, he took such course as his best, judgment dictated. It is unnecessary now to renew the dis cussion on the merits of these courses. They have been already argued at some length ; and time and' tin- future will shed forth salutary light upon them. What we have to say now is that mail, who was a lew months ago the warm Jrietnl (professedly scat least i of the Captain-General of the Western Department, is now his bitter enemy. A large part of the peuple of Mis souri look on Mr. Blair as one of those tiro-brands which has kindled up the flames of civil war among us—as one among the ehiel authors of the afllio tions which are now crushing them to the earth. The generality of our peo ple—among the least prejudiced and most reflecting classes —moderato and thinking men all over the State nmk Francis F. Biair and Claiborne F. Jack- son together. The cursed ambition of tlie one and the execrable folly of the other aro regarded as the original twin scourges of'-nr State. Many believe that had Fdair let Harney alone, the State could havo been kept quiet. Harney was alumed by libels and slan ders which throw doubts upon his loy alty. file truth is that bis allegiance to his superiors was a soldier s sacra ment, which he never would have bro ken. His spirit and his energy were un doubted. What his proclamation said, he meant. Had danger shown itself, he would have been promptly present at the scene of it, ready to meet it. At the same time, he would have been as conciliatoiy os circumstances permit ted. Tn Short, we should havo had from him a discreet exccrcise of power .—a power held up in the eyes ot our people to show them that defiance of it was dangerous, while it would have been energetically used on every oc casion which called for its employment. That was Harney’B position. We doubt whether there was a conservative man in the State —whether there was one man who understood apd cherished its true interests —who did not feel confi dence and hope in Harney’s adminis tration. But quiet for our peoplo did not suit the views of Mr. Blair. This was either because he had no confidence in Gen. liarncy, wherein he showed his own want of judgment and just ap preciation of the condition of Missouri; or because peace for its people aud a subordinate plaoe for himself were not the things he wanted. In either point of view, ho is to be condemned. Mr. Blair began to intrigue against Gen. Harney. He finally got him ousted. Lyon and Blair, or Blair and Lyon, (it was difficult to say which,) were the heroes of Missouri. Blair, at any rate, became conspicuous. And with this change commenced our troubles. THE EIGHT AT SPKINGEIEI. From a special dispatch to the St. Louis Republican, we select the follow ing particulars ot Fremont’s Body Guard encounter with the rebels at Springfield : ’ The desperate charge of the Fremont Body Guard is still the theme of con versation and praise in camp, and no one can doubt, whatever his opinion of it as a military movement, that it was a recklessly daring performance, entitled to the name of the American Balaklava. Tho list of mortality now is sixteen killed of tho Body Guard, eighteen wounded, (two mortally,) and ten mis sing, whose names are Poohen, ltosen burg, Koska, Foe, and Trancemitk, pri vates, Company A; Sergeant Sheanger, Corporal Foster, and privates Itner and Lack ey, Company B; Win. Ilaskitt and Robert Leo, privates, Company C. This famous charge is, in many in stances, extraordinary. The men had. ridden seventy miles, been two consec utive nights without sleep, and had but one ration previous to the engagement. Not more than six of the Guard had ever before been under fire, and yet they manifested a coolness and courage that would have done credit to Napo leon's most veteran warriors. Not one of them flinched or wavered—proving, ag Zagonyi said, thatovery one of them was a hero. Not more than ten of the 150 horses are fit for service—the rebels, different from their usual custom, fired low, and therefore struck 'the steeds instead of the riders. The Body Guard will re quire some weeks for reorganization, and their splendid achieveifleiit will make them a most sought for cofpß. Compa ny C alone had two hundred; apphda tions here for admission yesterday, ana Sergeant Charles H,. Hunter says he conld raise a regiment of Body Guards in Cincinnati, whenoe ho comes, in a week. Gen. Fremont, immediately on his arrival in Springfield, visited the bos-- pital where thebrave fellows lay wound ed,” and complimented them highly on their gallant conduct, and declared any commander might be proud to havesuch a l?ody Guard. When he saw the dead soldiers he could not restrain his tears. Yesterday afternoon fifteen of the Body Guard were buried with military honors —the Benton Cadets, M&j- Hol man’s Sharp-shooters, and General Fre mont’s entire staff, with the surviving Guards, following the remains to the grave. Fifteen riderless horses were led in the procession, which was most impressive. The Episcopal funeral service was performs l by Rev. Mr. Blake, Chaplain of the staff, and his re marks caused many of the soldiers to weep like children. The fifteen corpses wero all deposited in one grave, just outside of the town, and a volley of musketry fired ovor the grave, into which General Fremont cast the first earth. The citizens, male and female, attended the funeral in large numbers, and a deep melancholy pervaded the breasts of all who participated in the mournful occasion. General Fremont visited the soene of Friday’s action after the funeral, and examined the locality particularly. The trees and fences contain marks of the desperate conflict, and one rail in the Mount Vernon road has thirty-seven bullets in it. One fearless rebel, on the day of the fight, made a most desperate effort to kill Zagonyi, riding along half the line and receiving some twelve wounds be fore he expired, resisting heroically to his last gasp. •OIU Russell’s last tetter to tlie ton dou Times. ATTITUDE OFTIIE FORGES IN VIRGINIA If General Beauregard is really to be attaoked, bnt not to attack, Gen. Mo- Clcllan is also prepared to receive an offensive movement rather than to make one. In fact, they are both perfectly well aware at this moment that their armies aro quite beyoDd their grasp, and that all they could do in such a country as lies between them would be to depend on the officers of brigades to work their men almost independently, and to hold their own behind their lines and in the position in which they arc placed. * * * If Beauregard ex pects that his .opponent will march di rectly on his position at Manassas I think he will be disappointed, and he I will probably bo forced at last oither to divert a portion of his forces to the west, with long marches and a difficult country before him, or to make the at tempt on which i have always calcula ted, if ever he could obtain possession of the Potomac, to cross into Maryland. Gen. McClellan is so well acquainted with his army by this time that he must be aware many of his inferior officers are not fit for their plaoes. Of his men ho is sure. The rank and file are equal to their work. The want of proper of ficers is felt most in the cavalry and in the artilhry, as well as in the quar termaster's department. But, after all, the wonder really is that the army is so well t.flicorod as it is, and the number of men of fine faces nod figures, with the appearance and manner of the soldier about them, which one sees in the streets and in the camps, shows what a large mi'itary ele ment there must have been among the Araorican people, for the class of which I speak is beyond all proportion to the habits ot the people, and yet it has dropped easily and naturally into the disoharge of military duties. General McClellan rides and reviews indefatiga bly. There is Bcaroely a day on which he does not cover some 20 or 30 miles of ground about the camps, and he is now attended oooasionally by the Count of Paris and the Duke of Chartres.

THREE HUNDRED MEN PUBJED IN A The foreign papers give accounts of a terrible casualty in tho department of Gard, Franee. In consequence of a powerful storm —the bursting of a waterispout, aooording to somo state ments—tho Lalle mine was flooded, and the sides fell in, burying all the working men. An explosion of gas took placo at tho same time, by whioh a portion of the mine was blown up. The number of men missing, and con sidered as killed by acoident. is nearly 500. The casualty took place on the 13th ultimo. The Gazette de Mudi publishes the following aocount: The mine had been flooded by the late rains, a land-slip took plaoe and more tnan one hundred workmen were either smothered or drowned. The Prefect of the Gard, having been ap prised of the circumstance at ten at night, left his residence, accompanied by several public functionaries and by the chief engineer of the department, and proceeded to the ■ mine in special train. On arriving at tho scene of the disaster it was found that 117 miners were missing, and that 1,800,000 cu bio yards of water had rushed into tho mine, and caused numerons landslips. The engineers are of tho opinion that it will require three months to pnmp out the water. The authorities returned to Nimes profoundly afflioted. M, Dum linbert, the Prefect, immediately open ed a subscription for the relief of the numerous families who are xeduoed to a state of indigence by the death of their husbands and song. Public ru mor casta tho blame on the engineers, bui the feet is that a waterspout burst and caused a torrent, whioh rushed in*< to the mine with such violenee and ra pidity that even the overseers had not time to. Bave themselves. An explo sion of gas took plane at the same time, by which a portion of the mine was blown up. Though every means of rescuing the victims have been taken, there is but liitle probability of saving tho lives of those "who are buried in the mine. The utmost that can he done is to bring the dead bodies to the surface, The number of workmen missing, and considered as killed by the acoident, is nearly 3QP. gtgP-Wmni yon buy or sell, let or hire, ihako a clear bargain, and never trust to —“We-jshall not disagree abtmtit.” INfEKESTINS FOBEiGIISEWi, IRELAND* I , It appears that, after years of warn ing and all the horrora .of starvation, j the Irish papulation arp only .partially i willing to lose cqjtfidepeo in fa» v 3 rite po' aio, andso far as inf&fination can he gathered 'from the western coun ties, in the another period of famine is athaud.

THE ORLEANS PRINCES —FRENCH REC- OONITION OF THE REBELS,' The English journals continue to be greatly exercised about the entrance of the French Princes into our service While the French papers contend that there is an obvious propriety in young men of ardent temperament in casting their lot with a Government that, in its early struggles for national exist ence, had received so much Freneh sympathy and aid, it is contended by, English papers, such as the Liverpool Courier, that the President and his Cabinet must have seen that their re ception of the Hourbon Princes waß calculated to alienate Louis Napoleon, and dispose him to regard the agents of the Southern Confederacy with fa* vor. He may say, “You have acknow ledged the position of pretenders to my crown ; I will acknowledge the position of the Southern States.’’ respecting the blockade. A very lucid gleam of common sense, then shines out in the columlts of the Courier, when the question of the block ado comes to be discussed... The editor justly observes, that the acknowledge* ment of the Southern States by all the nations of Europe would not legalize the breaking of the blockade. If the blockade be effective it oannot be bro ken by any State, without actual war with the blockading nation. This prin ciple is ratified and acknowledged by every European power, and we may expect that it will be respected. COTTON IN JAMAICA AND ArsTRALTA.
