MONI4Y MORNING, NOV. ll
TEM < plkoPosEn NATIONAL
;CONVENTION.
Our reamers have read of the dilapida
ted literal" , loafer, who couldn't payfor
his breakfast, but win had a magnificent
scheme ini his pocket for the convenient
settlement 4 iof the national debt of Great
Britain ; fbey have often read, too, of
meetings of three or four broken down
politician4=i assembled in a little room in
some thiritztory, resolving that the people
demandediatte adoption of some imprac
ticable an absurd measures, and after
wards resolving that they themselves were
the peoplail These ridiculous instances of
sublime assurance are not more absurd than
the effort :Of our defeated adversaries to
assemble anational convention in this city
on the 25th: f inst.
If the lap popular elections prove any
thing at all, it is the utter condemnation
of the very;; measure ich the proposed
convention: is expe o sustain. _The
idea of its slttstainin e civil and reli •
gious libei4kes of the eople in the New
World, " ih merely so much jgammon.
The first Of these is now in no danger,
except frot the party in power ; and the
result of the late elections, will, we think,
prevent the)peat Habeas Corpus from be
ing violated; with impunity, heareafter.—
The real ptirpose of those who originated
the callfefrithe proposed gathering is, as
their circular states, to endorse the Presi•
dent's proclamation of emancipation, and
the one sturnding the habeas corpus.—
In view of ;the overwhelming condemna
tion of these] acts, by the late election:, we
regard thitii! call as a broad insult to the
common sense of the people.. Here we
have one ofilthe leaders of the Abolition
party, who after being deserted and beaten
by the conservatives of his own organi?a•
Lion, issues a call fora convention, to en•
dorse the I#ry measures, which, by our
vote?, we have just condemned. Could
impudence-Ito further than this? Every
reader knois that President Lincoln re
sisted the issuing of the proclamations re.
ferred to until he was threatened with
deposition h . , the radicals ; with appre
hension and trembling he put his name to
them, doubting( the consequences which
would follow.ltheir publication ; and now,
after his wqrst fears have been realized,
and after the:people in trumpet tones ut
terly repudiate these forced edicts, we
have a set of:tlose who wrung them from
the President, calling upon us to pro
nounce in their favor. The thing is pre
posterous ; :and yet, in their present
gloomy and - hopeless condition, some of
the aholitionifits imagine that it will serve
their partizan! purposes.
Had the President been let alone he
never would have issued the proclamations
in- question ;,id,if let alone now he will
likely repudiate them by the beginning of
the coming year. The proposed
.Ic. t,ePresidentcom
plained, and, perhaps, prevent him from
recalling thaO, which his fellow citizens
have so generally condemned. But we
have no idea that the present convocation
will amount to' much; that is not the inten
tion of its chief contrirer. He is in
search of notoriety and that is all.—
. Had he andu his shallow coadjutors
brains and public virtue sufficient to raise
them to the proper comprehension of our
country's troubles they never would have
issued - a call fob a national convention
which a majority of their fellow citizens
could not endorse. Bat there is little use
in complaining; !our country is undergoing
the trial which demagogues have brought
upon her; and the people's minds being
fixed upon the gigantic crime of Southern
rebels, inaidnona, sly and insinuating po
litical gamesters escape their detection.
Their minds and hearts are burdened by
the thoughts antk feelings produced by open
rebellion against`the government, and the
tricks of the political trimmer and mounte
bank pass almost unnoticed.
Where the grater malady is Lied,
The lesser Is seam felt.
but we are not ?'so oppressed as to he
blind to the arts of the mere partisan as
pirant, who, to gain a position• of empty
notoriety would 'sacrifice the spirit and
unity of the people. The terms of the
call for the prop9sed - convention are such
as no one can endorse except abolitionists
of the radical cities. Is such a gathering
as it summons likely to strengthen the
hands of the President, or is it not rather
calculated to embarrass him ? The radi
cals have bad their swing; the people'
have condemned them, and now demand
that in the administration. of the govern
ment their councije! shall be . no more po.

NE "
AIWBPAPEItO AND THE TAX.
By the joint call of the publishers of
city :dailies, 'appears elsewhere, it
will be seen that!the necessities of the
times have compelled us to advance the
rates of advertising about twenty per
cent. One and all regret the necessity
which compels Alamo deal thus with the
' public and we can 4tisure oar patrons that
the measure is a very reluctant one. We,
in common with citir eoteroporuriea t felt
able and willing tb pay the government
tax of three per dent. on advertising re
ceipts, and had notthought of advancing;
the rates; but wheti a heavy advance was
put upon our blank paper, (nearly fifty 1 1
per cent in the past iuonth,) ink and other
materials, with the tippreciation of labor,
the tax or telegraphic dispatches,
in addition to the income tax and three
per cent. on our adviitisements—we found
it absolutely necesstf,ry to follow the 11131•
versa! example andlincrease our prices.
It will be observecOthat the advance i s I
small,
.but we hope,!hy the liberality of
our patrons, who - w4l find a largely in.
creased oirCultition much to their benefit,
it will 'prove sufficient to defray the
in
creased expense of publication.o
We have with the desire of placing
olyitruction: in the way of a diffniion
useful knowledge, left the price of sub•
icription as before—and we trust that we
may be able to adhere to this policy.
But should everything continue to advance
we fear an advance in the price of news
papers will - become necessary. Yet this
will be a fferneir resort, in case of stern
necessity, which we hope to avoid. - Mean.
time 'lce shall endeavor to furnish quite as
good a paper as heretofore at the same
price to the reader.

Ihe Confedrates are amassing a large

It is now supposed that the object of the

Expedition Against Vicksburg
(Correspondence N. Y .Tribane.;
Sr. Lotus, Nov. 4.—The expedition
fitting out at Cairo for the capture of Vicks
burg, will be ready, it is stated in a couple
of weeks, and such measu •es have been
taken by Commodore Porter, who- i 3 to
conduct the enterprise, as will insure its
success, The expedition will be supported
by a considerable and efficient land force,
something which was lacking last summer,
and which, with the extreme sickness of
the soldiers and sailors in that then very
unhealthy latitude was the cause of the
failure to take the city at that time. Com.
Porter is sanguine of success with his
present expedition, and it is to be hoped
his anticipations will be realized, as the
rebels have been permitted to hold that
last position on the Mississippi far too
long.
Vicksburg has been greatly strengthened
during the past three months ,*and is now
protected, it is stated, by eighteen or
twenty batteries, mounting one hundred
and fifty guns, of large calibre, extending
some miles above and below the cily, and
designed to prevent the approach of our
gunboats within dangerous distance.—
Still, if a resolut- • - -
on it but that. Vicksburg will
fall, and the navigation of the great river
be opened froth Cairo to the Belize,
;ritish Vessel in Pursuit of the
Privateer Alabama.
According to the New York . Times three
British men-of-war have started in pur
suit of the privateer Alabama or "2A."
That paper says
Upon receiving the information that
Capt.-Semmes had disregarded the certifi•
cafes of a British' Consul, and in the face
of the British Consular seal, regularly af
fixed to papers establishing the British
ownership of certain property on board of
a vessel captured by him, had deliberately
proceeded to burn that property with the
vessel which contained it, the British Con
sul in this city, we are informed, immedi
ately took steps to represent their trans
actions most forcibly to Admiral Milne,
commanding her Britannic Majesty's ,
squadron in the 'American waters. 'l
he
Admiral, upon receiving the representa
tions of the Cohan], forthwith ordered
three British men-of-war in pursuit of the
Alabama, with orders, as we understand,
to overhaul that vessel of wrath, and con
vey her to some British port, where her
violations of international law may be ju
diciously inquired into.
Propositiox!ft to Capture the
Alabama.
A proposition for the capture of the
Alabama thus set forth in the Boston
Traveler of last evening :
"We have conversed with several ship
masters who were captured by the 'British
pirate Alabama, and are convinced that
.she could be easily crippled if not destroy
ed by any of our smart three -masted
schooners, if properly armed and manned.
The fact is notorious that every vessel
she has captured has been deceiv•
ed by her appearance, and that some
of them, had they suspected her could
have•elnded her, for thus far she has used
only her sails.
"Any of our three -masted schooners
cannot only outsell her, but sail around
her. She is so long, and her Trieste so
badly placed that she cannot be stayed, or
in other words, cannot he brought around
head to the wind, and she is very long in
wearing, in being brought to, upon the op
posite tack by sailing before the wind.
Any sailor can easily comprehend the ad
vantage a smart sailing schooner would
have over her.
I " n view of these facts, would it.not be
• well for our shipowners and underwriters
to fit out and arm fifty or even a hundred
schooners to go in search of this pirate ?
"It is not improbable that she may, by
some trick, capture one of our homeward
bound dippers from China, and fitted her
out as a consort. She has spare artillery
on board, so one of the captains who had
been capured by her informed us—and
this was probably procured for the very
purpose which we have supposed. At all
events, whether this be so or not, it is ab•
solutely necessary that some means should
be adopted as speedily as possible to cut
short her career.
Exempts from Future Draft.
It has been decided that if a person has
been drafted and furnishes a substitute
who is under amp or an alien, he is free
from all future drafts. But should the
substitute be on the roll of the militia,
and another draft, is ordered and the sub
stitnte is drawn.,,the principal who employ
ed the substitute has to go himself or prg
cure some other person.—Pkil. .&eBB,
COL. P. P. BLAIR.
The telegraph on Saturday" announced
the election of Col. Blair to Congress, in
the St. Louis district. The contest, it
appears, was a most desperate one. Blair
was the candidate of the conservative R@•
publicans, but owes his election to thiriotes
of Democrats. A correspondent of the
World remarks :
"The election of Blair, which seems at
this moment to be generally expected, will
be regarded a triumph of conservatism.—
He stands, indeed, midway between the
two extremes, which find themselves sin
gularly enough on slave soil. Col. Blair
was once regarded as the demon of aboli
tion in this State, the very bete noir of
New England raised in the soil ot Missouri.
Now, however, he finds himself . more truly
representing the great conservative mu
gressive class of true eclectics, who are
neither caught by the abstractions to
the right or left. He never was an abolib
tionist of the Boston or Chicago school,
but as being the leader and introducer of
the popular ideas of the Republican party
he has received the sobriquet, while really
his public speeches and private conversa
tion reveal him to be an emancipationist
in its best sense—in the sense lit which
Henry Clay, Jefferson,. and Washington
were and are called emancipationists. His
election, therefore, will be considered a
virtual overthrow of Black Republican
rule in this city."
Col. Frank P. lllali
" Blair has this advantage: he will be
supported by two parties. He has many
friends and many enemies on both sides.
Every one admits his shrewdness, his
force, and his tremendous energy. He
rises early and retires late, when any po
Utical work is to be accomplished. Far
,seeing and relentless, henever misses a
chance which can contribute to his suc
cess. Once the champion of the Ger
mans, and through them the savior of
Missouri to the Union, his manly and out
spoken to General Femont and the gang
of thieves who surrounded that officer,
lost him the favor of the Teutons. As
unreasonable and gregarious mules, as
once turned from him no arguments would
lure them hack. Only a few of the more
intelligent remained friendly to Blair, and
he will not be much indebted to them fot
his seat in the next Congress, if he should
secure one. He has, however, in the new
arrangement of congressional districts,
under the last apportionment, managed to
repay the compliment of the Germans by
offsetting the heaviest wards against the
Democratic county voters.
General Fremont on the Stump.
"About the best indication of the defeat
of the abolitionists is that they have called
to their aid imperial John • Charles Fre
mont. Nothing he undertakes succeeds.
Although a general in the army, he has
been sent for and is here on a mission of
personal political interest. He comes to
defeat his old adversity in th. franchise
that he may be not beaten in the House,
and to give evidence on the McKinstry
court martial. The sparring between
these old combatants is worthy of notice.
Fremont came west, and at his reception
delivered a sophomorical address to his
friends in unintelligible English.
Major General Richardson.
We have already announced briefly the
death of Major General 1. 13. Richardson
at Sharpsbnrg, Md., on Monday last, from
wounds received at the battle of Antietam,
while commanding a division in the corps
of Gen. Sumner. He commanded a
brigade at the first battle of Bull Run, and
the skirmishes preceding it, and distin
guished himself by the plain, short and
business-like report of his operations, as
mach as by his bravery in the field. Gen.
Richardson was a native of Vermont, and
is said to be a descendant of the Revolu
tionary hero, Gen. Putnam.
He was a man of massivefraw. gittki
theltuaAvet4ii — AtTauntains, of unusually I
quiet manners and unpretentious address.
He was educated at West Point, and '
served nearly twenty years in the army of,
the United States, which he left, with
the rank of major, a short time
ago. His experience as a lighte r
very great. During the Mexican war
he was distinguished in almost every
important battle, and, perhaps, re
ceived more brevets than any other offi
cer of his rank. He was known in the
army by the sobriquet of "Fighting Dick."
and it was said of him by an offieer-7—hitn
self greatly distinguished for bravery—un
der whom he served, that "Richardson
never appeared well out of battle, but that
in one he was magnificent."
He probably never knew fear in his life,
and went under fire with 88 much noncha.
leave as ordinary people go to breakfast.
None of the commanders sent to Washing.
ton by the States were greeted with a hear
tier welcome by the Commander-in -Chief
than he was. "1 am glad," said the old
General, upon meeting him, "to have my
Fighting Dick with me again, and will
have plenty of work for him to do ; and
in 4 few days afterwards he placed l im at
the head of the brigade with which he cov
ered the retreat of the army at Bull Run.
Every description which has beers given
of the engagement reveals that he was at
the right place at the right time, and that
whatever he had to do was well done.
General Richardson was about six feet
in height, broad-chested, compact, pow
erful in form. He was bronzed by the
constant exposure of many years of, mili
tary life ; had a loud, sonorous voice,
which itwould take many cannon to drown,
and a piercing, fiery eye, which few nien
could meet in anger. ig intonation and
pronunciation were those of a New Eng
r lender. No one who could hear him
SPeak could doubt where he came from.
He was no holiday soldier, and had no
doubt that war is earnest business, in which
men must shoot and be shot, and not a
mere opportunity to wear fine clothes, and
disport in the bravery of evening parades.
General Richardson was the person who
preferred the charges against Colonel
Miles for bad conduct on the field at the
first battle of Bull Run. The latter died
from wounds received at Harper's Ferry,
the former from wounds received at An.
tietam, both having received the wounds
within a few days of each other.

A FRENCHUAN was being terribly beaten
iy a brawny sailor, who held his victim to
the earth while he severely thrashed him.
The unfortunate fellow kept yelling at the
top of his voice, "Hurrah ! I say, hur
rah !" but a man who was passing saw his
predicament, and told him to say
"enough." "Fnongh! enough l" shout
ed the be-flogged foreigner. "By gar,
sat
is de word I try to think of die several
minutes gone.' The sailor let him get
up, when the Frenchman rubbed his hands
with delight; and cried, "Enough! by gar,
'tis very mooch good word for little fellow
to remember,"
To Fatten Cattle.
A' farmer of Haubourain has just tried
the experiment of fattening cattle by the
use of cod liver oil. The trial was first
made upon two calves, eight sheep and
two pigs. The result surpassed all ex
pectation. In ninety days they were all
in prime condition, the flesh being per
fectly white and of easy digestion. The
quantity given was: To the pigs sixty :
three grammes (two ounces) per day, to
the sheep thirty-one grammes, and to the
calves fifty grammes. For the calves the
oil was mixed with bran and chopped
straw; for the sheep with bruised beans,
and for the pigs with their regular food,

Eastern Greece is tranquil.
Liverpool via Queen.elown, Odoher
Prince Napoleon and Princess Clotil.le ar

A letter from Manchester to the London
Times, dated the 2gth ult., states that
7,845 additional paupers have been added
to the poor law statistics during the year.
Every day mills are closed and hundreds
reduced to destitution.
A virulent typhus fe‘r.r has broken out
n Preston, which was traceable to the
)risons of the poor.
Business at Manchester is at a stand
till.
Mr. Gladstone's speech had created
flplite a panic, many stopping their mill:
altogether.
The letter says it was expected that five
hundred thousand persons would be de

ter.
E, Nov. 7.—The community
is somewhat alarmed this afternoon by the
Journal s editorial, expr easeo ssintr—tear,
n upon per.
i l atiritpresentations to the editor. We
are assured that the rebel force is therein
much exaggerated; that John C. Breckin
ridge is below Murfreesboro', with only
3.ti00 men; that Gen. Sill's division is
within supporting distance of Nashville,
and that the reported movements of rebel
troops fronaChattanooga towards Murfrees
boro', is probably false, there being no
'midge across the river at Chattanooga,
aid the rebels there having little or no
transportat
' Gen. Boyle to-dey cause.) the chptnre of
several wagons of salt and other contra
band articles, proceeding southward from'
here.
There was very little snow last night,
mehing as it tell. Weather alternately
clear and cloudy.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7, lop, m.--The brig
Anniversary, from Queenstown, arrived
this evening. She was in company with
the Scotia, off Tom Island, yesterday.—
There is little or no abatement in the gale,
and the Scotia will probably not arrive up
to-night.
The bark Mary Baker, of Yarmouth, N.
5.,! reports that on October ;10th, in lati
tude 41 deg., and longitude Cr; deg. 0 m.,
she saw two ships, one of which was be
lieved to be the Alabama, which was in
pursuit of the other and gaining rapidly.
The latter was believed to be an American.
They were heading north-east by east, and
distant 18 or 20 m il es.
Counterfeit $5O and 5100 notes raised
from $1 and $2 Treasury notes, made their
appearance yesterday. They are quite
blurred and very defective.
Sion. Simon Cameron is among the pas
sengers in the steamer Scotia.
ST. Loris, November B.—We have
nothing of special interest from General
Sohotield's army.
The rebels do not appear to have at
tempted to regain lost advantages, or to
repossess themselves of any part of Mis
souri.
They have been pursued iato Boston
mountains, and will certainly be com
pelled to retreat beyond the Arkansas
river.
The rebel column that was to take Pilot
Knob and Girardeau from the southeast,
by way of :Pocahontas, have not yet
achieved such a result, but on the contrary
they have been driven below Pocahontas,
and portions of Gen. Steel's forces are so
disposed at Pittman's Ferry, and other
points, that it will be impossible for the
enemy to obtain foothold in that quarter.
Bos.ros, Nov. 7.—The snow storm,
with a strong north-east gale, continues
very severe.
1 he steamers Merrimac and Mississippi,
with three regiments on board, are still
below. Jt is reported that the gunboa
Huron will convey them to Newbern,
