THE PILOT. GREENCASTLE Tuesday Morning, Oct. 6,1863 - wl a _ GET MONEY. A good deal of cant is written and spoken respecting the zeal of mankind to make money. It is ulso stated very often. and accdpted as a self-evident truth, that we, the 'people of the United States, are more devoted to money mak. ing than any other people in the world. Very well; suppose we are: It is only another way of saying that we surpass the rest of mankind in the virtues of energy and industry. We hold'it to be the duty, as it is the instinct, of every man to make all the money he honestly caul and in save all the money he can properly fifford to save. The biids build their• nest of sticks and straw, with much toil and instinctive Every creature must have its nest, its lair, its den, and all creatures are. endowed with the insiinetand the ability to make just the kind of abOdc.that is suited to them. The'nes' t-Con- Strueting instinct' is given to man also, and" all of us,lis Soon as we are prepared to leave the parental nest, begin to think of getting one for ourselves. But man, being the most ingenious and capacious of all animals, craves avesidence fitted to his greatness andhis dignity. Man's nest is:a brown-stone house, three or four stories high, elegantly furnished, provided with all the requisites of decency and labor-saving con v'enience.; or, it 'is .large, commodious farm house, with a hundred acres of land adjoining. the present inipertect state of 'the arts and of social science, all 'then cannot have such nests as these; but all Well-developed and healthy-minded men and women want such, feel they could adorn such, know that such would . enhance their happiness. To try for such a nest is natural, 'right and praiseworthy. All the'linnest industry of man is directed to three objects, namely : getting a nest; im proving the nest, and keeping'the nest safe for old age. Who shall presume to call in ques tion an instinct fixed in the nature of man by Creatorliis ? Wealth is said to corrupt our species. We do not believe it. Wealth is one of the great eiVilizers of man. Wealth corrupts when it is Suddenly got, or unjtistly distributed; when, owing to monopolies or entails, or some other barbitrous system, it, i's, prevented from diffus , jug itself naturally and justly. Two or three over• ° rich families in a community orpoverty- • stricken 'wtetchei---that is indeed most cor. ruting; it corrupts equally thpse ; who have wertil'atid whOfav'e . i't at.' Butwhere all have an equal chance,i where all'start hear et6;'wer t— if • 11 eviii,e a ave, a s certain. degree of 'l 7 instruction to begin with; where superior skill and virtue alon t e give one plan an advantage t 4 , IT 'sr over another, there wealth is an unmixed' bless ing. Tn such cOMmunities, (and' there are many such in these Siates,) nearly every man has an abode suitable to his character, and that , ahote is safe. - We ought to rejoice that the desire of wealth is so universal and so strong. It keeps the vast machinery of the world going. It has suggested the most beneficent enterprises and the most useful improvements. We owe to it the dramas, of S.hakspeare, the steam engine of Watt, Pulton's steamboat, and nearly, every other great and good thing that we possess.— We owe to it, the fact, that a man who can earn on'e dollar a day ran be better lodged, better taught, than kings and nobles could five hun dred years, ago. Sir Walter Scott truly says, that saving; not getting, is' the mother of riches. The last winter has taught many a youngfellow what a capital, thing it is to have a hundred dollars in the Saving's Bank. A hundred dollars is Wealth to a young journeyman or clerk. He ho has such a sum is a man ; he who has no provision for the future is a serf : he, must submit or starve. And everything that may be said of the advantages of a young man's pos sessing that hundred dollars, applies with equal force, to his employer's thousands; nay, with greater force, for- on the right use, and' safe possession, and proper increase of those thous ands, depends the livelihood of many families. Our advice to a young man entering life would be this : Preserve your integrity and self-respect, though you live all your fife in a hovel. Next to that : make money and safe it, for with money comes independence; with money men build their nests and keep them safe. And he who has a nice, warm, pleasant nest can get a p'retty bird to share it with him; and that coverts a pile of brick and mortar into a home; and a happy home is the only earthly thing worth living for; as w: ll as the best preparation for another and a better. THE NEWS. When the Arago left Charleston bar, on the 26th, matters were unchanged. Two of the.

The Rebel authorities hav ing stated that the old flag of Sumter, which he was allowed to .bring away, with him when he left Charleston, had been captured with the late storming party, the General writes to the Secretary of War that the statement is false, as he still has the flag in his possession. A survey of Admiral Farragues flag-ship Hartford, now at the Brooklyn navy . yard has resulted in the discovery of two hundred and nine shot marks upon her hull, bulwarks and spars. Her lower masts have been condemned, being badly injured by shot. Bight thousand one hundred and seventy three patients were reported in the military hospitals of the departm :nt at Washington for the week ending the 26th ult. On last Tuesday, twelve 15-inch Dahlgren cannon arrived in Jersey city, from Pittsburg, and were taken to Fort Hamilton, to be moun ted for the defence of the harbor.

Washington, Sept. 30,, 1863.—The follow ing eircular was issued today, by Provost Mar shal General Fry :- 1. The decisions of Board of Enrollment, on claims for . exemption from: military duty under the draft, being final, the Boards will not re-open or re-examine claims upon which they have once rendered judgment. A through examination should be tuade•into every doubt ful case before rendering a decision, and, if necessary, the decision should be deferred for such reasonable length of time as may be re• quired to obtain the evidence, essential, to a proper understanding of the case. 11. Au exemption or discharge from the draft procured by fraud, is invalid and does not relieve the person perpetrating the fraud from his obligation to perform military duty ander the draft, or from liability to be punished as a deserter for failing to report for duty as required by the law. . When a Board of Enrollment, or a Provost Ma6hal, shall have reason to belieye that a fraud had been practiced upon the Board in procpring an exemption or discharge, or in fur nishing a substitute, they will immediately report the facts, in the case,andthe reasons for their belief', to the Provost Marshal Gene ral,' d for such further'action as may e eau• ed advisable. Washington, Oct. I.—The,crew of the gun- boats Reliance and . Satellite, lately captured iu the Rappahannock,, the boat's crew belong ing to the Wabash taken, in Charleston harbor, and the boat's crew of Niphon, captured at New Inlet, North Carolina, have arrived here under all ag of truce, as , paroled plisoners. They number in all about sity men. Accompanying them, is a deserter, from the Ri9huiond City Batallion, ,named Charles Hutchins, belonging to Brooklyn, New.,,York: He says that there are from 10,000 to 11,000 rebel troops in, the vicinity of 4liehmond ; that. the 'Merrimac is lying near Joites's Bluff; that the Lady Davis is now full iron plated, that a third iron-clad is on the stocks, and that five small gun-boats are lying: near the Bluff Nearly all the sail Ors there, about five hundred in number, have•been sent to Charleston, under the command of Captain Pegram.

Nothing is transpiring to indicate any im mediate, The Rebels are in strength on the south side of the Rapidan, supposed to be General Hill's entire corps. The Rebel pickets are on the west and north sides of our lines. A few days 'ego a considerable column of Rebel, troops was observed going northward, near the Blue Ridge, perhaps forming a part of the force reported to be concentrating in the valley. Col. Dulaney, recently captured by the Re bels, was attached to Gov. Pierpont's Staff. He was at the time sojourning at the house o a relative, several wiles from Alexandria. • Louisville, Ky., Oct..2—Chattaimoga des patch dated the 28th ultimo, delayed until this afternoon, gives. the following intelligence : General Whitaker received a severe' fled woitinf in the eugageinent of the 20th of Sep ternber, but still is able to command his bri.

The correspondent of the Chicago Tintei gives a gloomy account of our disaster at Sabine Pass. After describing the action, te goes on to say : It will naturally be asked how it came that; after fifteen minutes' trial while, the gun-boats Arizona and Crescent City had not been in ac tion, and transports With 3000 - linen On pOard weiearhand, of whom 500 were on the Gen. Banks, then in the Pass, ready to be landed i • and led by the gallant Weitzel to the assault of the field work, the expedition was so hastily, and, to all appearance, so ignorniniously aban doned? "Thereby bangs a tale." The stories in circulation in military circles, in regard to the planning and fitting out of the expedition, indicate that there has been a great blundering somewhere. Perhaps if the famous Committee on the Conduct of the War turn their atten , tion to the subject, they any be able to dis cover who is at fault. I do not presume to aver that any one is blamable, but, "to a man up a tree," it looks as if there had been bad management somewhere, and especially it the reports in circulation, as I am inclined to be lieve, have some foundation. It appears that the expedition entered the Pass as the tide was ebbing, and that imme diately afterward the Clifton and the Sachem grounded. We are told that the low stage of water in the Pass was unlocked for. This is strange.. Was there no one connected with the expedition, or the chartering of the vessels for it, who knew the average depth of the water' , in the Pass, who knew that it is only under the most favorable circumstances that vessels drawing over six or •seven feet of water can enter ? Did the Arizona and the Crescent City, and the - transports, or any of them, beside the Gen. Banks and the Laurel Hill (which, it is said, threw overboard her deck •load of mules and some pieces of artillery, to be able to get out again), did any of these vessels enter the Pass, and, if not, were they prevented -by the "unlooked for," low stage of water? Can it be that vessels were employed in the expedition of such a draft of water that they were unable to outer the Pass? Again, it is -said, as a reason for the hasty return of the "lition, that in fitting -.out, no provision of fuel for the steamers had been made, beyond barely sufficient to go and re turn; that no illowanec had been made for any delay, and, therefore, the.return of the expedi tion as soon as it was found . phe desired object could notkbe obtained' instanter, was a matter of unavoidable and pressing necessity. If this be so, it would seem to indicate such an assur ance of the success of the expedition innuedi ately on its appearance in the Pass that, in fit tiny out, it was deemed unnecessary to make any provision for contingencies. The correspondent goes on to state that the gunboat Clifton was so serviceable, when abandoned to the enem,y that the rebels in 48 hours could make her seaworthy. He also says : .1 am trustyworth informed that the number of perseus lost there (at the Pass) from the gun-boat and fleet generally, will not fall short of 1300. All the life-boats which plied to and from the head -quarters of Major. General Franklin, on the Su111)1k, were driven aitore in a squall, and the crew and boats captured and taken up to.the Rebel fort. During -the engagement of the gun-boats and the Rebel batteries, several trains of cars, crowded with troops, were plainly seen coming into Sabine City. There were as many as five trains, supposed to come from.galveston. And now I must describe the return home. A voilent gale arose al some distance out ol' sight of laud, off Southwest Pass. To Feather the storm great loss ,of valuable property, am munition, guns, stores, mules, horses, &.e., had to, be submitted to. .Some of the boats, too, were in a shaky cgmlitiou, particularly tne Sulfilk and Lturel and r. way siy the Continent 41, on the furiaer whi.:ll was Gcn. Franklin. From the Suffolk they threw overboard, among other things, the horses of General Franklin's staff, his own included. From the Laurel Hill they 'cast into the angry sea three hundred head of . mules,, many army wagons, and two thirds of the ammuni Lion. This boat was crowded. ith black troops. The steamers Continental, Landis and,others had to dispense with a share of their yaluable freight to ride the waves. The CoutOental, too, had run into the Suffolk, damaging her self and nearly sinkin ,, the other. In fact. but for the double hull or double side I.do not know correctly•which---that the Suffolk had, she would have gone to the bottom. ! The I.ndiana and New ;York batteries, were throw overboard. The Indiana battery ineluded four 32 plunders.
