.1. HOLT.
Mr. Holt, our reader; will remember, was
Post Master General under Mr. Buchinan
and diming the last few months of that ad
,
ministration acted as Secretary of War.—
He appears to be a gentleman of easy vir
tue, who, like a great many others, keeps
his eyb upon the main chance, and plays
the dhdge of patriotism very effectially,
to enable him to•secure and retain public
positihn. Like all ahrewdtrimmers,'he is
alwaiii in favor of the party in power and
seems to thrive very well by
If Mr. Holt be not atrimmer of the most
accomplished character, then there is no
inch Biing as duplieitY amongst
us. in his speech last year in Kentucky
-he doClared that the President's Policy
was simply and solely for the restoratidn of
thiTU.pion, and that the secessionists 'lied
when.they charged that the war was to be
'prosecuted for purposes of emancipation.
Now:emancipation his been
,avowed and
proclaimed, and Mr, HOU endorses it.
Battle holds a Snag Place under the Pov
erumMit, and that accounts for Lis sudden
conversion. During Mr. Buchanan's Ad
minietration he -was the ' President ' s''most
• devo4d follower; and when the oppoiiition
charlie Mr. Buchanan with such enormities
as they do, Mr. Holt must bear with Isis
share of the intended odium. So much
impressed was Mr. Holt with the patriot
ism and purity of Mr. Buchanan that, at
the &se of their official relations, he felt
constrained to give expression to them in
thetollowing communication. It will be
seenl,hat the "enlightened' statesmanship
and .patriotism.' ! of - James 4u
are here uttered by Mr. Holt. Ilia
letteil is a-copy of the one now on file in the
- -StattilDepartment, and it proves . Mr: B It
to b4leither a sycophant and hypocrite; pr
amicifit dastardly ingrate. He font himself
onrecord, . gratuitously,- attesting the
"statesmanship and patriotism" of Mr.
Buchanan, on the 2d ,of March, Ifinl, and
eincothat time he has stood upon the genie
etendiwith and listened to abolitionists de
nouneing him as a trgitor. The following
is the' letter :
„

the office of Secretary of War, the resig

the-:firm and generous auppOrt which Yon

have been called upon to perform. In the
full conviction that your labors will yet be

IMEINI
Moorhead'alove of office is the consum

thoughts by daynnd of his dreams by night.
To accomplish this, he has l been "all

lively interest in the Success. Of each secu

tion. Of 'course, his attachment to all
is equnlly, strong and enduring—and his
ginceful facility iatidnfired by every body.
His folitiCe, it is well known, are of the
unmixed Cameron and Cummings school
"—which have attained an eminence in
corruption that has startled the world, and
astounded , the nation . Attachment to
principle they have qt e, and among
themselves they do not pretend to it. No
higher purpaSe is alleged by them than to
seek public offiee for the power and money
it will bring them—being able to adopt a
new set of political notions as they would

card those same ideas if they think proper,
before, a suit of clothes would be half
worn out. A certain engineer, in the in
fancy of canals, testified during a 'grave
legal inquiry, that he believed the chief use
of "navigable rivers" was to "feed
canals!" These wretched political ped
dlers believe that parties are organized and
goiernments maintained solely to furnish
a stream of money to till the •pockets of
successful tricksters like themselves—that

for profit, like digging canals, or contracts

Gen. Moorhead occasionally indulges
in loud, and awkward, and bitter abuse of
Democrats; but he is a weak mortal—
cunning, merely, and of no breadth of in
tellect, nor information. He will say,
perhaps, Democrats are 2onfederates in
disguise, traitors, Ac., &c., to please a
rabid crowd of destructives. But then he
is anxious Democrats should.take all these
remarks in a purely Pickwickian cense ;
he will declare, with quiet earrostness, to
each and.'every one of the 8,000 Demo
crats of the county, if necessary, that he
does not mean anything like what be
habitually says about them.
Such is the character of the member fo;
the 22d district; who, through his cun
ning and his money, has once Inure se
cured 'a seat iu Congress. We solemnly
believe that those who voted for him will
bitterly regret it. He is not fit to repre
sent us in such a trying time as this. Ile
is weak., corrupt, and incompetent.
His colleague, Williams, is a very dif
ferent person, as we said before. If Moor
head is a common flatterer, he is a conii!
mon, seold.—a Wormwood--,--a Thersites,
whoseCrpoisonous tongue makes you un
comfortable; even while he talks of peo
ple you do itot like. Moorhead's affected
fanatieafpartisauship but wavering pur
pose, render hiin contemptible ; but Wil
liams' constant and cowardly malignity
makes him unspeakably vile. His ego
tism tenders him selfish and narrow-mind
ed in all things; and; of course, be has
no strong personal friends.. Unlike Moor
head, his electioneering expenses have
not been reported as large. Fees for
resisting the claims of 'the bond holders and
for instructing the people in resisting the
law, have flown M a steady stream into his
private purse, but no one has seen a symp
tom °fa returning tide—all has been:sunk
out of human sight; like certain rivers that
bay - Jere tell-us of, which becdme wholly
lost in sandy districts. The retard..pi
such a man as Moorhead to Congress just
now, when the best talent of the country
is required, is mortifying. The return of
such men as Williams is dangerous. For
years he has stood forth, as deliberately
and as authoritatively as the. Delphian
Oracle , of old, warning ; and misleading
the people. He has.taught them, how to
avoid their, public debtsr-he has taught
them to despise the decisions of each and
every Court. of the, county and tlof. the
State; and urged them to resist the decrees
of those Courts unto "blood.'` He, more
tbiut any other man, has labored to place
the'pettple of this county in a law-defiant
and rebellions attitude—they have done ev
erything thus far, as he advised, but resist
the laws unto "biood." It is fearful to send

Yours in haste,
The Financial Situation.
Secretary Chase has succeeded, by
means of his financial measures, in array
ing against each other great interests of
the country, wh ich have heretofore been
in harmony, and have by a happy fleetly]
'deveload its resources. In consequence
of the vast issues of paper money by the
Treasury Department of the gneral gov
ernment, the currency has become so in
flated that real distress is threatened to the
working classes, through the enormous
advance in prices of the necessaries of
life. This great evil can only be avoided
by restricting or annihilating the circula
ting notes of the banks authorized, by the
laws of the several States. Thus the great
industrial interests of the country, or
banking institutions which have become
established. under a policy that has pre
vailed for twenty•five years, must go to
the wall.
AU experience detnonstrates that labor
is the la.t to advance in price, and the
first to fall; and although the battle field
has destroyed a large proportion of the
laboring strength of the North, such is the,
crippled condition to which the enormous
exactions of the tax law have reduced
manufactures that no advance in wages
can be looked for. It is therefore undeni •
ably necessary, in order to preserve the
equilibrium between the wages of labor
and prices of the necessaries of life, and
protect our manufactures from blight, that
measures shall be immediately taken to
reduce and restrict the volume of the cur
rency. The prices of merchandise of all
descriptions are ftom twenty-five to fifty
per cent. higher than one year ago, and
cotton goods have advanced from one
hundred to two hundred per cent. There
has in the meantime been no appreciable
advance in the wages of labor, and manu
facturers encounter a burden which no
tariff can lighten. Ten hundred dollars a
year ago was equal to fourteen hundred
dollars of paper money to-day, and the
speculative feeling to which the• inflated
currency has given rise has contributedto
the unfavorable turn against industrial in
terests.
Mr. Chase has already partially develop
ed what will be his policy in this emer
gency. He will probably open a war upon
the - bank circulation of the country, and
use the distress among the laboring and
manufacturing classes to promote his ends.
We expect to Bee Congress asked to pass
a law limiting the issue of bank notes
within very narrow limits. Such a meas
ure would be fatal to at least one-half the
banking institutions of the country. The
provincial banks largely depend upon the
profits of their circulation, and it this be
prohibited, they will have no alternative The Dome of the Clap tol.

• n impromptu stand had been prepared

.overed with nanvas. From the front cor
ers the Anlerican and Irish flags waved,
nd on each side of the venerable prelate
• ere miniature American flags. A )ironze
epresentatiop of the crucifixion was af
t xed to thd canvas covering of the stand,

Jtnied and assisted by Rev. Drs. Mon

At 12 o'clock the services•of conflrma-
ion commenced. Those who desired to
eceive it, took their stand in ranks in front
.f the platform, while others, soldiers and
ivilian visitors, gathered round, and ob
served the ceremony with mingled defer

arrayed in his pontifical robes, addressed
imself briefly to the men, urging the sa

The time for taking the oath of allegi

Washington, October ..18.—The troops
under deneral Hancock and General
Humphrey, who left on Thursday morning
't'o make a reconnoissance in the directiOn
of Winchester, • returned after urrivbig
Smithfield, five miles from Bunkeißill..
None of the enemy interfered with there
turn of General Hancock's conimand.
With -General Humphrey's -command it
was different. They follqwed- him with
cavalry and artillery within a short diti7
tance of Elhepherdstown, and opened with
the lattei whenever they could get within
range. Our loss was one killed and
wounded.
The - tiosps safely recrossed at -Shiep
herdstoWn ford last evening, bringing with

geons. j
Weanisdrox,.Oct. 18.—The report that
the pirate "290." otherwise known as the

Va., a week ago, reports that there are no
rebel .troops now there, excepting fifty

that vicinity amounts to 1.000 or 1,300.
General Price is said to be gathering a
large number of troops at Holly Springs,
with a view of attacking some point on the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
There is a rumor here, apparently not
well authenticated, that an attack has been
made on the Federal troops at Island No.
10. There has been no boat from Mem

.serape they had:got into.
The Alabama left Birkenhead, England,
