COTTON AGAtfNST BREAD.
Ever since the Southern rebellion be
gan, we have been told every day or
two, that it is bound to succeed, be
cause the-necessities of England and.
France, for cotton would compel these
nations to speedily acknowledge its in
dependence. After these impatient
forcesmakiDg acknowledgement, it were
useless for .our government to longer
continue the contest. It appears now,
however, that .those who reasoned in
thisjway were as jquoh at fault as. others,
who took the opposite view of the ques
tion. In trade as in everything else,
there seems to be a Divinity shaping
things, entirely beyond the deep con
ceptions of the politician and statesman.
The last few weeks have demonstra'
ted that England and France are more
in need of American bread-stuffs, than
they are of fjouthern cotton. When
want of bread comes in conflict with a
desire for mnßlin the latter must neces
sarily give way.
The tables, showing the export of
breadstuff's from the City of New York,
for the single month of October, have
been published, and they ejdribit a
most extraordinary increase over former
periods. “Of wheat flour we have ex
ported 331,302 barrels, and of wheat
itself 4,369,59/ bushels, or an average of
one million bushels per week through
out the month. Of rye there was sent
away 100,000 more bushels than were
received during tl e month, while the
demand for corn amounted to the enor
mus sum of 1,321,663 bushels. The ex
ports Of wheat have been more than
double those of 1860. These figures
speak for themselves, and show the
present necessities of the old world, and
its dependence for the primary necessa
ries of life upon the sixteen States.
Should the present scarcity in England
and'France continue, there will be little
probability of their interfering with the
desires of our government, in order to
give aid and comfort to our Southern
rebellion. These statistico are more
damaging to the power of “Xing Cot
ton,than anything else we have seeD,
and, taken in connection with the suc
cessful landing of our fleet in South
Carolina, and the contemplated ad
vance of McClellan into tho interior,
hnay we not hope to see the usurper son
dethroned, and its contrivers driven
nto merit ed obscurity.
JOHH C. FREMONT
The Dispatch records it as being very
remarkable that, at a meeting in }tew
York, the other evening, three cheers
were given for John C. Fremont, We
do not perceive anything remarkable in
this demonstration, except an exhibition
of abolition hostility to the administra
tion which removed him. It is a matter
of history that Fremont did nothing
while in command of the Western divi
sion to entitle him to three cheers in
New York city or anywhere else. He
Violated his instructions by the publica
tion of a Billy proclamation, and for this
piece ot insubordination he received the
cheers and applause alluded to. As a
military man, Fremont has shown him
self the most extensive humbug of the
campaign. More than this—impartial
testimony proves him destitute of mili
tary ability and squints very strongly at
his want of common honesty. His van
ity is inordinate, entirely too great for a
American, and his surrounding himself
with two or three hundred of a body
guard, without authority, shows the
magnificeut opinion he entertains of
himself. These peculiarities, together
with the neglect to reinforce the gallant
Lyon and his cold indifference to the
intrepid Mulligan, are all the services
that General Fremont performed while
commanding the army in Missouri.
Everything we see of Colonel Fremont
shows him to be a reckless and daring
adventurer. Were he President -of the
United States at the present time, he
would take advantage of our distracted
condition, surround himself with an im
mense army, and treat us to a touch of
usurpation worthy of Louis Napoleon. ,
The defunct General will not, however,
succeed- in turning the heads of the '
American people, and the following ex- 1
tract from a Washington correspondent '
shows that his tricks are pretty well un- '
derstood there; 1
THE LATE OEKEEAL J'EEMOiIT.
There is no little indignation felt here in
official circles at the attempt of General
Fremont’s friends to intimidate the govern- 1
ment by the fabrication of dispatches, pub
lic and private, respecting a state of feeling
in the Western army not warranted by
the faots. II the reports which reached
( here were true, government at one time
bad the alternative placed before them of
the mutiny or dispersion of the Western
army and the retention of General Fremont
in command. The Cabinet knew, however,
the precise state of the ease, and treated
these warnings with the indifference they
deserved. Recent advices fully confirm the
prudence of their course; the troops show
ed no disposition to'mutiny, a battle was
not imminent, nor was Fremont popular,
except among tt’few foreigners and personal
dependents. Generals .Siegel and Hunter

Oar Army Correspondence.
Port Tobacco, Charles Co , Md
November 7th, 1861. J
Editors Pittsburgh Morning Post: —Not
having the pleasure of a personal acquain
tance, but having some spare moments, I
conlude it will not be considered intrusive
by you if'l give you a few 'lines of thiß
once famous place. This place was once a
post of considerable commercial import
ance, tut the overflowing of the Potomac
from time to time has caused it to be leit
desolate. In appearance it is wild, bi6ak,
blank and barren. Still there is, here and
there, a green oasis to which the weary and
careworn travler may repair to quench his
thirst, and supply the inner man as he
journeys along. Port Tobacco can now
only be called a village, having all that is
considered necessary, Baches achurch,Uv
ern, store and-blacksmith shop; there is
also a court house, and, as as a matter of
course, a jail! This'is the county seat of
Chari & county. The court house is a small
brick building, not as large as some com*
mon dwelling houses; the jail Is not at*
taohed, being one or two hundred feet in
the rear; it is built gquare and of brick. I
visited it to-day; everything inside looked
neat and clean; some three or four of its
lodgers took it into their heads last night
they were not well enough treated, and of
course seceded; they were colored persons,
charged with fleeing to some place where
colored men have rights that white men
are bound to respect. Yesterday was elec
tion day: the town was very quiet until
late at night There was no polls nearer
than some ten miles. The 6th regiment,
Kxcolsior Brigade, Is encamped some two
miles distant Your old friond and fellow*
citizen, John P. Glass, of the 6th Ward,
is now Major. Oapt.G. as
Captain of Co. B, tJ, 8. Zouave Cadets,
now Co. Aof the regiment. There are in
this neighborhood some twelve thousand
Federal soldiers, scattered through the
Eastern counties of Maryland, and under
the command of Acting Major Leonard
Hooker. Port Tobacco is under martial
law, Capt. Morey, of the 6th regiment, be
ing Provost Marshal. The first regiment
is now at Bidd’s Feny. I am told to
day that thure is to bo an additional ten
regiments nero soon, expecting, I believe,
to cross over into the “Sacred Soil of Old
Virginia. The boys from Pittsburgh are,
with the exception of three, in good health,
and those three are not now seriously ill.
Oae of them 1 know, A. McHenry,is down
with the typhoid fever, but is getting
along well as could be expected. We have
them in excellont quarters in this place at
Brawnor’s Hotel. Mr. B. is honest A.
L ’s Postmaster, and a goed Union man.
Mr. Samuel A McFarland is there at*
tending them, which is sufficient; he, ac
cording to doctors, is a most excoilont
nurse. Quite a detail was made from our
company, to go to different election dis
tricts yesterday; some of them did not get
home until 8 o’clock this morning. From
the appearance of we are not
likely to move far aw*y/ but make Camp
Fenton our present winter quarters; and
if you can imagine yourself on the top of
Seminary Hill, in a tent, some cold freez
ing morning, you can, iu some measure,
realize cur position; yet the men aro
cheerful and willing to make any sacrifice
for the Union. Wo cannot make a
greater one than our forefathers did at
Valley Forge. Can we, think you? I
think not, and we should make every ef
fort to show to the crowned heads that
man can govern himself, having ps yet a
soul and daring to be free. Tae country
about here is very poor; I cannot see how
people live here; yet I expect to try this
winter. The weather here is cold Bnd
damp; indeed Ibo boys, some of them, are
fixing up winter quarters for themselves.
I send you a copy of the Port Tobacco
Times. More anon if this is acceptable.
From Knap’s Battery.
Camp Duncan,
Novomber 9th, 1801. j
Mr. Editor:—Who is it neglect to
send rue that ever welcome visitor in camp,
the Pu.st You should not so forget “a
general in tbe army.” I have looked for
it long and anxiously for some time.
Among the few sunny moments of my
soldiering life were thoso spent on Friday
week. The arrival of friend ■ ■
aDd his visit to me,were worth, in feeling,
a Lieutenaifoy, in purse‘more, if they do
not pay the officers soon. By hia kindness
I was, ior two daye, considered a lineal
dcscendent of Ci cuius—but alas! all things
earthly fade ! and naturally ye imago of
the national bird grew small by degrees
and devilish indistinct.
Knap’s Pennsylvania Battery consists
of IU6 men, Captain and three Lieu’en
ante, 70 horses and four ten pounder Par
rott rilled cannon. The Captain, J. M.
Knap, is a young gentleman lately resi
dent of your city,and nephew cf our et loom
ed and respected townsman, Charles M
Knap, His bearing as a Boldier and cour
tesy as a gentleman render him the idol ol
tbe company, Clement Tingley, Senior
First Lieutenant, a native of Philadel
phia, is an officer of whom the company
think much. Charles A. Atwell, junior
Second Lieutenant, is a “native and to the
manor born’’ and needs no word of praise
to his friends. As an officer he has gained
the affections of the company. Second
Lieutenant E. K. Geary, a son of Colonel
John W. Geary, though young in com
mand, needs but to be known to be liked.
B. F. Moore, of Chambersburg, the Order
ly Sergeant, haa seen some service. AmoDg
the company we notice the names of many
natives of our sister city: Sergeants “Wm
M. Kirkpatrick and William Cowell,
Corporals David Nichol, William Hunter
and James A. Dunlevy, and Privates P.
Stewart, John Matthews and others. The
battery is encamped on Capitol Hill, a
mile in the rear of the Capitol. The offi
cers and men are anxiously awaiting
orders to march. The battery will proba
bly be attached to Colonel Geary's com
raand, the majority of tbe company having
been detached from the 28th regiment.
P. S. If you publish the above send me
some papers and I will forward you Davis
and Beauregard is part pay. I expect to
take my dinner, of turkey and fixings, on
Christmas, at the Spotswood House, Rich>
mond, Va, by invitation of the “first
families.” It hae rained since Friday
week and is pouring down at present. I
am out of money, paper and Btamps,- but
have just discovered a canteen of whisky
—eo good bye. j)
Exchange of Prisoners.
It is reported that President Lincoln and
Secretaries Seward and Welles are in favor
of an exchange of prisoners with the rebels
and that proper orders for that purpose will
be issued in a few days.
This desirable object should be accome
plißhed without further delay. The thing
has already been done in several local eases,
aa in Missouri; and the sooner it is fully
consummated the better for all concerned.
The proposal of General Stone to the rebel
General Evans, referred to the rebel gov
ernment, will not be sanctioned unless
made by our national administration
which would be considered a concession of
belligerent rights to the rebel confederacy.
What valid objection can there be to such
exchange, even under such circumstances?
£he concession of belligerent rights,
however annoying it may be, has been
virtually made in various ways—by exs
changes of flags of truce and otherwise, as
well as by the exchangeof prisoners in the
special cases above mentioned. *
hSB in the field to-day
101,070 men; New York 06,000. The
Keystone State leads the Empire by 16,000,
The exchange of prUr-nor* now, under
the auspices of Grn. McClelland, likely to
take place, is generally advised. It is
hard, indeed, to right with two chances
against one, the first, of death, the second,
prisoner, perpetual imprisonment The
Administration on this point, have been
planting themselves upon absurd lechni-,
calities, and the quicker -it gets off from
them, the better. Indeed, the subordin
ate Generals beyond Washington’s reach,
havo boen paying but very little attention
to them, and have exchanged prisoners, ah
libitum.
It is currently reported that General W.
H. Keim, Surveyor General, will, in a few
days, resign hia office, for the purpose of
accepting a position in the army. General
Keim served as a Brigadier General in the
three months’ service, and may be said to
have a decided taste for military life. The
position which ho will fill in the army will
prevent him from holding the office of
Surveyor General, and the G-vornor will
appoint a successor, who will perform the
duties of the office until the next general
election.
The Cabinet has determined that, here
after, no passes will be granted to Northern
person? who desire to go South to endeavor
to save their property from confiscation.
This course has been deemed necessary, as
facts have been shown th*it s. nic Northern
men who have been thin f**v ircd have
given valuable information to ihe Seces
sionists. It is almost impossible-to dis
criminate in theso cases between loyal men
and traitors, and thu only way to remedy
the evil is to refuse ilmm all passes.
LATEST KE«S FROM Til E SOUTH
K W. Ilurtt. of the Ohio State Jour
nal, recently escorted a southern lady
to Columbus, Ky., the headquarters of
Gens. Pillow and Polk. He has writ
ten a long letter, giving his experience.
We extract the following :
At Culumbus, boat and baggage were
put under guard, and the passengers
taken to Geu. Pillow’s headquarters.
Mr. H. says :
A very large crowd ol un-uniformed
and curious soldiers had gathered upon
the bank and followed us until ordered
back by our escort. We were taken toa
dirty, unswept room, in which wo were
seated, and a very courteous examina
tion, conducted by an amiable looking
gentleman in hall'uniform and crowned
with grey hair? and wearing spectacles.
While he would have been the only
man in the room to whom I should
have given the distinction of General,
he no means the looking man I
shoal'd have sought in a crowd to oall
Gen. Pillow
We were placed at once in the charge
of the General's son, aud the brother
ol the lady was intonued by telegraph
thfit she was there, in less than two
hours answer was received. The Gen
eral by the way, both sent and received
the dispatches. Immediately arrange
ments were made lor her departure for
Memphis, and young Pillow was gra
ciously offered as her c-cort. I was
placed upon my parole of honour not
'to inquire into matters here, and uiven
the liberty of the town. We had start
ed at noon, and by this time it was
about seven o’clock.
The access to the officers is very easy
and the room was crowded with all
fwjhs. It was a strange looking crowd
to me. The men were mostly young
men, and iixked rough and dirty, as if
just Ironi camp. They had the ap>
poarance of subiiers without the uni*
form. Not much di-play of rank was
seen in any part of the camp to which
we had access, and nj more here than
elsewhere. Everything looks emphat
ically democratic, and while it looked
less substantial and comfortable than
like places in our army, it looked more
as it these persons felt that they were
engaged in a sympathetic family affair.
INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL l’OLk.
W« found General Polk in much
more comfortable quarters, and rather
more exclusive iu company, lie is a
fine, large, gray headed man, rather
amiable looking, but distant My case
was presented and the permission read
ily granted He begin to deplore this
war, and wondered what our people in
the North intended by it. He thought
fhey ought to stop it at once, as they
could gain nothing by its continuance.
I asked him how he would settle.
(j'rn. “By giving us all that
belongs to us/’
“What belongs to you.”
Ca Polk. “All that has always
been acknowledged ours "
. “Do you want Missouri?”
Cni. Poll-. “Yes, that is ours, un
doubtedly.”
. “Do you want Kentucky ?”
<len. Polk. “Of course, the Ohio
river has always been considered the
line.”
“But Kentucky don’t want
(rni. Polh. “We must have her/’
. “You waot all Virginia?”
Gen. Poll:. “Of’course.”
■ ■ “You most have Maryland?”
Urn-. Pull:. “Most certainly.”
“What will you do with
D J. A.
| Washington.”
Gen. Polk. “Any trouble about
Washington arises from its unfortunate
position. We don’t want it; remove
it if you want it, but Maryland is ours.”
• • “Well, General, you will
never get Washington."
While this conversation was going
on the Major was communicating some
thing to the General’s Adjutant, who
handed it to him, upon which 1 was
told that, as there was necessity of my
further progress' with the lady, he
would have to withdraw his permission
to my going any further than Colum«
bus.
At midnight I was allowed to see my
charge on the train for Memphis. The
town is most guarded j at every
second corner we met a guard who de
manded the countersign. This surprised
me as I had been told that the gov
ernment of all their own towns had been
left to the civil authorities, and that
they had not proclaimed martial law in
a single southern city.
The following is said to ba one of the
longest pauses on rocorj :
An old gentleman, riding over Putney
Bridge, turned round to his servant, and
said :
"Do you like eggs, John ?”
"Yes, sir.”
Hero the conversation ended. The same
gentleman, riding over the same bridge
that day twelvemonth, again turned round
and said:
“How ?”
“Poached, sir,”-was the answer.
Haw Things Change.
Seven months ago, when the rebellion
broke out, Democrats who differed from
the Administration in its mode of set
tling our difficulties were treated by
our political opponents as being disloyal
to the Government. Those of us who
were desirous of avoiding civil war by
the adoption of Mr. Crittenden’s com
promise, or any other measure that
would prevent hostilities, were denounc
ed as being secessionists. But see how
things change. The radical portion of
the Republicans are now assailing the
Administration with a bitterness un
equalled, while the Democratic press is
engaged in its defence. This simply
demonstrates the folly of attempting
to close people's eyes and ears to the
acts of their ruler.
Advices from tjt louts state that Ms
Finney, who left Springfield, Mo., with
Gen. Fremont, brought away a military
chest, with about $200,000, having failed
to pay off the troops. The money has been
secured, and the Major arrested and Me
turned to Springfield.
The Court of Inquiry in the case oi
Colonol Miles, who was reported to have
been intoxicated at tbe battle of Ball Run,
ha?, it is understood, reported that bo was
under the care of the surgeon at the time,
tie has &S3U nod his command, and no
iurthor proceedings will be had.
The paying of tho army of the Potomac
goes on very rapidly, and they will all be
paid off in the course of the week. The
soldiers who have been paid off are gener
ally investing a portion of their money in
purchasing necessary articles of winter
wear.
Tu k Treasury Department has suspended
tho printing of tbe three jears bonds to
the date of the 19th of August, and direct
ed the plates to be altered to the first of
October,fifty millions having boen printed.
On Thursday, the Treasury Department
paid out one million and a half of dollars,
ar.d on Friday one million. In October
thirteen times as lunch was paid out as
during the same month of last year,
Winter Quarters,
A Washington correspondent says:
Evidences appear to accumulate in sup
port of tbe idea that very large bodies of
troops are to go into winter quarters hero,
and in the immediate vicinity. Tde great
amount of lumber arriving and other things
which are being brought hero by the gov
m?nt, by railroad, of the sort for the erec
tion of huts and other temporary shelter,
indicates this ; and besides there may bo
&e*n and heard of in various quarters, sup
plies of camp Btoves specially designed for
tho u?e of officers and troops, as well as
other conveniences and appurtenance?, ap
parently not exactly in keeping with more
active movements.
The heavy contracts, too, which, it is
announced, have been made by the gov
ernment for wood to bo delivered here—
about eight thousand cords per month, it
would seem cmild only bo necessary to a
very large army of occupation through the
winter. Tho purpose will be, of course,
to render the troops as comfortable as pos
sible, both thoso in tho fortifications, which
at lea?t mud bo well held, as also those in
tho camp? in that more open field, whether
the latter be stationary for the timo or
moving forward.
THU NEXT CONCKESS.
Tho President is engaged upon his
message to Congress. With a view to
an economical prosecution and early
termination of the war, it is understood
in the best informed circles here, that
an increase of the volunteer army
will be called for. We are now in a po
sition to estimate the strength of the
force to bo met in tho field, and to meet
that force effectually we will require a
million of men. The rebellion has hith
erto bean under estimated ; now the
veil has been removed; our work is pre
sented before us ; it is not of small mag
nitude, but it is not beyond our con«
trul. Wo are more than equal to this
duty ; our resources in men and means
are far more than equal to all that will
be required of us. If there is a defi
ciency in any one thing it is rATaiOT
1SM —the very element which gained
for us our liberty and onr Government.
Are we ready to acknowledge that we
have lost the patriotism of our fathers,
or are we prepared to maintain and per*
petuate those glorious principles of gov
ernment which they by their blood and
treasure purchased for us, and bequeath
ed to us, in trust, as our inheritance and
as that of our children ?
The next Congress will reeoive from
the President a message that will atouse
the latent patriotism of our people. The
next Congress will be one of the most
patriotic that have ever assembled since
the days of Washington. Its walls will
resound with pure patriotic appeals for
our bleeding country. All pusillani
mity will be thrust aside, and a bold
confidence will be everywhere manifest
ed. The most searching investigations
will be made—mußt be made, for the
people will demand it—into official in
capacity, and wherever a weak or rotten
plank is found in the ship of State, it
must be removed, and a strong one in
troduced in its place. That glorious
old ship, though now surrounded by
pirates sworn to its destruction, must
sail onward in its voyage through time
to a triumphant yictory over the ene
mies of a free government. Not more
just was the oause of those who pur
chased our liberty than that of those
who now dare to maintain it. Let the
voice of the next Congress be one in fa
vor of right and duty, and we shall have
nothing to fear—nothing to regret.
Regiment Djlbaitdxd.—Ool. Thomas
A. Zeigle’s regiment, at Camp Cameron,
has been disbanded, and three of the com
panies composing it transferred to the
regiment of Colonel Richard White, at
Camp Curtin, and the remainder to Col
Powers’ Zouaves. This arrangement
makes Colonel White’s regiment full, and
be will in all probability move about
Wednesday. Colonel Power’s regiment
also becomes complete by the transfer, and
will move daring the week. It is, there
fore likely, if transportation can be obtain*
ed, that no less than six regiments will
leave Harrisburg for Dixie this week.
