Kentucky is, just now, an object of deep inter est. The Legislature is for the Union,'three to one; but the Governor is a Secessionist. The Secession party are strong, and 'very bold, and are aided by three rebel armies—one at Cumber land Gap, one at Bowling Green, and one on the Mississippi border. The Union men, however, are firm, and troops fzom Indiana, Illinois and Ohio are passing over to their aid. General Anderson has issued the following proclamation: KENTUCKIANS :—Called by the Legislature of this, my native State, I hereby assume command of this Department. I come to enforce, not to make laws, and, God willing, to protect your property and your lives. The enemies of our country have dared to invade our soil, Kentucky is in danger. She has vainly striven to keep the peace with her neighbors. Gni State is in vaded by those who professed to be her friends, but who now seek to conquer her. No true son of Kentucky can longer hesitate as to his * duty to his State and to his country. The invaders must, and, God willing, will be expelled. The leader of the hostile forces who now approach is, I re gret to say, a Kentuckian, making war on Ken tucky and Kentuckians. Let all past differences of opinion be overlooked. Every one who now rallies to the support of our Union and of our State, is a friend!. Rally, then, my countrymen, around the flag our fathers loved, ,which has shielded us so long. I call you to arms for self- defense, and for the protection of all that ie dear to freemen. Let us trust in God, and do our duty as did our forefathers [Signed] ROBERT ANDERSON, Brigadier-General 11. S. A Ex-Governoi Moorhead and two other rebels have been arrested and sent to Fort Lafayette. Ex-Vice President Breokinridge has fled. We trust that Kentucky will show her pluck, and that aid enough will flow in.speedily to expel her invaders, and transfer the seat of war to the re gions of Secession. The' Route we Travelled West. The Associate Editor of the Presbyterian Stand ard, gives, under the above heading, an account of his journey from Philadelphia to Chicago. Of Pennsylvania and her railroads, &c., he says: Leaving the City of Brotherly Love, situated between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, some six miles from their *confluence, with its six hundred thousand inhabitants, our route, of course, was by the way of the . Pennsylvania Cen tral; of which to speak in commendation might almost seem like stipererogation, because, with its two hundred and eighty-flee miles of double track, and linking together the two chief cities, Eastern and Western, of the Keystone Common wealth, it is so well and favorably known by the many' thousands of much-delighted travellers, who are carried with so much safety along its continuous windings—through ravines, up moun tainous steeps, and over craggy summits ; yet feeling the utmost safety, inspired by the great stability of the structure, and the'very commenda ble care and vigilance exercised in the entire supervision of the road. The traveller, with any taste for the , picturesque, cannot fail of enjoy ment from the great variety of scenery thrown upon his view. He passes through some of the finest agricultural districts, with lands in a high state of cultivation, and the whole appearance indica dire of affluence and comfort. Then, again, on reaching the mountainous region, he sees much that is wild, rugged, and romantic, and that in do small degree. And when he has, left behind him, for a distance of three hundred and fifty three miles by rail, the beautiful, well-ordered, and well-washed city on the banks of the Dela ware and Schuylkill, he find himself in the city of smoke and iron, situated on the banks of the Allegheny and Monongahela, close in the angle formed by - the confluence of these two rivers, and conseqUeritly at the head of the beautiful river of the' Ohio: The City of Pittsburgh, to gether with its sister city across the clear stream of the Allegheny, whose name it bears, and the environs,' has now a population of not less than one hundred and twenty thousand. It is famous for its manufacture of iron, in every variety, and the abundance of coal with which it is supplied. Missouri. Public attention has, been turned to Missouri; for a few days, with intense interest. Gen. Fre mont is still collecting men, arms, and the muni tions of war; and at the same time endeavoring to keep the enemy in check. In Northern and South-eastern Missouri we have been gaining on, the foe, but have lost in one place, that is, at Lexington. That place was held by Col. Mulli gan, with about three thousand men. Gen. Price assailed him with about twenty.thousand. Being entrenched, he was able to resist for a•week, when, being cut off from water, he was obliged to surrender. Hopson, Mo., Sept. 23.—The following ac count of the siege of Lexington is furnished to the' St. Louis Republican by Henry Bradburn, one of Col. Mulligan's soldiers, who left Lexing ton on Saturday morning; • The Fort was surrendered on Friday after noon. The men fought for fifty nine hours with out water, and had only three barrels of vinegar to quench their thirst during all that time. There were no springs or wells of water in the camp ground, as has been stated. The supply was from the 'river, and was cut off, after a des perate fight, on WednesdaY. The camp-ground consisted of about ten acres and was located a short distance from the river. There were breast-works entirely around it, with the exception of the portion next to the river. It was here the hardest fighting took place. The rebels procured a large •number of hemp-bales and rolled them in advance, and under their cover gradually succeeded in gaining a position in the rear. They then cut off the supply of water and had the front completely surrounded. They made bat few charges upon the breast-works dur ing the siege. Their object seemed to be to sur round the fort and cut off the supply of water. Having succeeded in this they waited until Col. Mulligan was Compelled to yield to a foe more terrible thaa the rebels that surrounded him. Previous to the surrender, Col: Mulligan of fered te take a position on a level spot of,.ground and give Gen. Price the odds of four to one in a fair open fight, but no attention was paid to it. After the eurferider, the rebels 'painted the breast PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.--SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1861. works, and seemed mad with joy. As soon as the surrender took place, a party took down the flag, and trailed it in the dust. An immense amount of gold, supposed to be about a quarter of a million, fell into the posses- Mon of the rebels. It was taken from 'the banks and buried by Col. Mulligan on the camp ground .some time ago. The rebels speedily unearthed it Col. Mulligan- wept like a child when he found himself compelled to surrender. The morning after the surrender, the men were all released 'on parole and ferried across the river. The officers were retained. The loss of the rebels is not known, but it is thought to be not less than a thousand killed and wounded. The lust attack proved more disastrous to them than the long siege which followed. For a day or two previous to the last attack they were engaged in burying their dead. . SEPTEMBER 21.—The Government has ac cepted the tender of military services by the Count de Danis and Duo de Chartres'. They will probably enter G,en. M'Clellan's staff. The young Count de Penthievre, son of the Prince de Join vilte, enters the United States Naval Academy He is sixteen years old. Major Bauseiven, late aid-de-camp to Gari baldi, has to-day been commissioned in the mili tary service. In addition to other distinguished foreigners heretofore named, the following have been com missioned in our army, the highest testimonials having been furnished of their military capacity: Lieut. Col. John Fitzroy de Couroey, of the Eng lish army in the Crimea, First Lieutenant Oscar Brendon, of Prussia, and Captains Vegesack and Hatman, of Sweden. Gen. Bleaker has received into his brigade; with great cordiality, Prince Salm de Salm, who has been commissioned to the command of a cavalry regimmt. General Seat is very feeble, and spends much' of his time in sleep. He will never be in the saddle again. His mind, however, is .as vigor ous as ever, and he watches the progress of events with as eager an interest as the youngest officer. Stated Clerk A number of papers -persist in arraying Gov. Gamble against General Fremont, and saying that his visit to Washington' was to effect Fre mont's removal. All this is directly opposed to the facts. Gov. Gamble's visit here was to pro cure money and arms to enable Fremont, himself and the Union men of the State to meet the emergency successfully. His act was endorsed by Gen, Fremont. Mayor Barrett, now that he has returned from his captivity, speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of the Government toward him, and says that he is no way dissatisfied with the course pursued. He recognizes these as revolu tionary times, and though he claims to have al ways been strong for the Union, he does not find any fault with the authorities, and expresses the earnest hope that this war will speedily termi nate in the complete vindication of the Union cause. Several Members of Congress are here, at tending to the new regiments pouring in, and the city is as full of 'visitors as it has been for the last three months. The presence of the foreign princes adds a little spice to the curiosity of the many here who have nothing to do but talk and look on. ' Some nine hundred barrels of flour per diem is used up here for the army. Of fresh bread alone there are one hundred and fifty thousand loaves consumed. Foreigners here express astonish ment at the abundant and varied rations served our troops. They are undoubtedly the best fed as well as the best paid army in the world. We all hope their performance will equal their treat ment. SEPT. 23. —The following named. Brigadier Generals of volunteers have, been appointed : John B. S. Todd, of Decotah Territory, late Cap tain in the 6th Infantry ; Major and Quarter master Van Vliet, U. , Army, to be assigned to duty as chief of the Quartermaster's Department of the army of the Potomac; Major Barnard, of the U. S. Engineers, to be assigned duty as chief of the engineers of the Potomac. John Newton and Winfield S. Hancock are tilso to be Brigadier Generals of volunteers. Secretary Seward, in reply to a memorial ask ing the attention of the Government to treasona ble matter contained in a letter bearing the date of Washington, August 10th, published in the London Times, says, the interference with the press even in the case of an existing insurrection can be justified only upon the ground of public danger. I -do' not see any such danger in the present case, even if one foreigner does pervert our hospitality to shelter himself in writing an injurious publication against us for a foreign press. A hundred other foreigners, as intelli gent and as virtuous and as respectable as he is, =are daily enrolling themselves in the United States Army to defend and maintain that Union as the chief hope of humanity in all countries and for all ages. In relation to the seizure of Tebel property, Secretary Seward, in a circular,' says: "It will be seen from an inspection of the provisions of the acts of Congress, that no property is confis cated or subjected to forfeiture, except such as is in transit, or proved for transit to or from insur rectionary States, or used for the promotion of the insurrection. Real estate, bonds, promissory notes, moneys on deposit and the like are, there fore, not subject to seizure or confiscation in the absence of evidence of such unlawful use. All officers, while vigilant in the prevention of the conveyance of property to or from, insurrection ary States, or the use of it for insurrectionary purposes, are expected to be careful in avoiding unnecessary vexation and cost , by seizures not warranted by law." At ten o'clock A. M., on Saturday, General McClellan proceeded to review Major-General M.'- Call's Division of Pennsylvania troops. The party arrived on the field, amidst the firing of cannon, at half -past. eleven, where tht troops were rawn up in columns of two- regiments each. Gen. McClellan uncovered, advanced to the centre, where be met Gen. McCall. The Prince =and suite took a position a few yards in the rear. The review was proceeded with in the regular order. The troops made a fine appearance, marching and wheeling like experienced regu lars. They are well uniformed, very neat and healthy in their appearance,, and look like men of great endurance. - Gen. McCall received many compliments from Gen. McClellan, the Prince, and other distinguished military men on the field, for the fine appearance of his troops. Pennsyl vania is making up for the past, and if what I witnessed to-day is any criterion, by which to judge, the old Keystone State will come riously out of the conflict. 115 Peace as Dastructivs as War. Six ballet girls were burned to .death in Phila delphia, on Saturday night last, in consequence of an accident which occurred while they were preparing for their performance on the stage. It is but the other day that two thousand persons were swollowed up by an earthquake in the Leland of Antigua. More than a hundred per sons every year put violent end to their own life in the City of New-York, and in our State the annual aggregate of violent deaths reaches the enormous figure of fifteen hundred--.IV.Y. Times. Enlistments for Other States. Haastssono, Sept. 22.-e-Gov. Curtin has de ter Mined to stop all enlistments in the State for foreign regiments, and will issue a prodlamation to that effect on Tuesday. Secretary Cameron is here and fully sustains the decision of the State authorities. All enlistments of troops here after will be subjected to the control of the. State authorities, and they will be organized under the laws of the State upon a 'renuisition -from the General Government. The Attorney General is now in Philadelphia, and is actively engaged to prevent Pensylvania troops from being bartered off to foreign regiments, tlius depriving our men of the benefits of y n State law. Interesting intelligence from the Pacific coast reaches us by the Pony Express, which passed the outer Telegraph Station, one hundred and sixty-one West of Fort Kearney, on the 16th inst., having left San Francisco, on the 7th. Since the State election in California, the mar kets bad taken a much firmer tone,-the over whelming Union vote dispelling all fears of Any dothestic troubles. The returns of the election ". were still incomplete, but sufficient had been re ceived to insure the success of the Republigan ticket. The vote of the whole State was ex pected to be 120,000, and so far as heard, tlie Republicans had 43,800, the Union bemocratil 20,500, and the Breckinridge Democrats 19,400. The Government of Honduras'has given a re ligious Society in New-York, the right to este); lish a colony within that State; it has given them a liberal grant of land, and affords them every facility and encouragement , they require. The colony is s i iready established in a delightful and healthful part of the country, and where the soil and, climate are adapted to, the culture of cotton an coffee. Rev. Charles Parker, of Nevr- York, Will leave that , city in a few. weeks with a number of families for, the colony. In agricul tural matters, this colony will pay more, atten tion to the •cultivation of cotton than. to any thing eye, ' Washington. California. Colonizing in Honduras. The Charleston Mercury.. This paper, after having labored for years to destroy the Union itself, is now striving to de moralize the Disunion conspiracy. On the 10th of September it attacks Davis and his manage ment of the war, asserts that the new army au thorized by the rebel Congress can never be raised, declares that-their Generals are unfit to Command, and shows that the whole Southern coast is unprotected. It adds that the navy yard at Pensacola stands belearisred and useless to the South, and that the Southern States will have to defend themselves by their own devices, and without gunboats, or naval assistance. Unfortu nately for the traitors, the Charleston Mercury is not the only element engaged in their rapid de 7 moralization.—Preas. The British Mercantile Steam Fleet. The steam fleet of Great Britain has contribu ted incalculably to her , preeminence as a com mercial nation. Indecd, few have any adequate conception of the rapid growth in this impor tant interest, or the extent already attained. It appears from an official return that at the com mencement of the present year nineteen hundred and forty-five steamers were registered in the United Kingdom, of a gross burthen` G 80,417 tons, being an increase of eighty-two vessels and 19,904 tons, as compared with the corresponding date of 1860. The number of paddle -steamers was thirteen hundred and forty-two, of screws six hundred and one. As regards the materials of which they were constructed eight hundred and sixty were built of wood, ten hundred and eighty of iron, and five of steel. Of the whole rim:liber of steamships five hundred and fifteen are owned in London and two hundred and fourteen in Liverpool. The scale of opera tions entered upon by some of the leading steam ship companies of England is enormous. First in importance, as concerns the United States, is the " Cunard Fleet," comprising no less than thirty /arge steamers, averaging not far from two thousand tons. The largest of these is the new steamer Scotia, - which measures four thousand tons; and three more powerful ships will soon'lie added. Flowing Wells—The Oil Trade. The last number of the Titusville Gazette says: ,‘ Flowing wells are still the order of the day. S. Grove & Co., en the lower end of the Clapp farm, have struck a flowing well at the depth of 490 feet, which dews 300 barrels per day. Lewis Covode 8s Co. have opened a vein at 475 feet, which flews about 40 barrels per day. This well is on the island opposite the upper end of the Clapp place. Syases, Greenwood Fr. Co. have a well 514 feet deep, which flows freely. In addi tion to the above, it is stated that a flowing well was opened a'week or, ten, days ago, a few rods above the Funk welt. F.eport makes it; equal to the Funk well is its palmiest days We are told by those professing to be thor oughly posted, that the flowing wells along the creek wean very considiably diminishing in their flow. This is not at all surprising, but on the contrary was long ago expected. We are firmly convinced that many, if not all oil men will yet feel that they have rushed the oil busines too fast for the benefit of all concerned. Much oil has been wasted, and nearly or quite all the profits of the business have gone, into the pockets of the refiners. Every thing has gone with a rush, as did the retreat at Manassas." litovisliag for the Families of Soldiers. The War Department has made the necessary orders to carry oat the Act of Congress relative 'to allotments of pay. Hereafter the recruit, upon enrolling his name,.has only to designate what proportion of his monthly stipend shall be given to his family, to have the necessary minute made, and the Bum paid regularly. The step is an important one. Large numbers of very.de sirable men have turned away from the recruit ing station, because the office, could give them no assurance as to provision for their families while they are absent on duty.. Such assurance can now be had. it will be no difficult business for the fa:ad/les of needy volunteers to obtain ad vances front friends and' the eharitable, on the strength of the allotment ticket, so that the means of support may be made available from the very day the, recruit has entered. the ranks. If some organisation, with small capital, could be framed kir the purpose of saving the holders of such tickets from extortion and oppressive discounts, a still heavier weight of ; anxiety would be taken from the mind of the volun teer, and another inducement offered to enlist merits. Czw)ps in Europe. By the last arrivals we have the London Mark Lane Express and Agricultural Journal, of. Sep tember 2d. The leading topic, at this season, is of course the results of the harvest, on the Con tinent as well as in the British islands. An article, written by a correspondent of the 'Express, who bays he has _closely observed the crops in travelling for many .years-through the Northern and midland counties, sustains the statements already published in' The World, by asserting that it is 66 quits out of the question to suppose that the [wheat] crop can be anything like an average." " The wheat .plant," he adds, " suffered too much during the Winter from wet in all heavy soils, even where well drained, and,liad so much Cold to contend against in the §pring, that it never recovered , itself." Barley presented a, much better . appearance than the wheat, he aids, and "Will be found a good crop." Oats were light, but "promise ex cellent quality." The review of the British corn trade, in the Hark Lane Bxpress for the week ending August 31st, winds up its remarks on the crops of France, Germany, Portugal, and Italy, as`well as those of the British isles,• by saying : " With all the favorable weather we have had here and on the Continent, rates . have been firm. Wheat is not anywhere plentiful; rye is short in: Germany, maize seriously so in Italy, and pota toes are generally doubtful. L(iiver prices, there fore, if reached, must be transient? • The harvest not being satisfactory in Portugal,, all corn [grain], excepting maize, is admitted free'of duty to the 80th of April of next year."-- World. A day later, The World has the following THE POREION DEMAND FOR. BREAD/WEEPS The piobable extent of the demand for bread stuffs from Europe for the coming year may be seen from a few facts.. It is ascertained that the crops upon which about one hundred and fifty millions of people rely for breadstuffs and other vegetable food are deficient. The grain-growing population of this countay, <win the loyal'States, does not exceed ten millions. 'lt is to the crops of these ten millions ..that Elflike now looks to make good the deficiencies to her one hundred and fifty millions. The deficiencies need be but. very small to require all that the ten millions can spare. The Present and Future of Cotton. We recently called attention to the possibility of England obtaining from 'some other quarter than America her supply of , cotton, and in illus tration we cited the case of Russian hemp; which lost its market in consequence, of the Crimean war. By late advices from England we 'find that this is actually in process 'of accomplishment. The imports of 'cotton' l'rom India this year have about doubled, or nearly so,: and the European. Times says, that the stock on hand, in Liverpool has been actually to a great extent maintained at its present amount by the unusual receipts of Su rat. In fact the effect of the American blockade its becoming manifest precisely as it had been `supposed it would be. rt is iinparting a great stimulous to the culture of cotton in all other quarters, and, aided by the great capital of F.ng laid, there seems no reason to doubt that time only is necessary to'accomplish the change: American cotton has hitherto maintained its monopoly of the markets .of the world only by its superior quality, which of course kept it in de mend everywhere. But if once the cotton grow ers of India, Brasil and Africa get commani of the market, their qualities will' improve, and it will be extremely difficult to overcome them on the return of peace. Meantime the rebels hoard up their cotton on their plantations, and their government gives them a paper , to represent ,a value which it may lose. In view of the magni tude of our commerce with Europe, the loss of such a monoialy would'be one of the greatest ca-, lamities this country could suffer. To the South especially the effect would be ruinous. 'To the North the evil would not be a whit worse than the success of the rebellion, and indeed would be preferable, ,spr with the latter result perish count less millionS of money owing to us from the South, and at the same time the cotton would be no longer ours, however much it might he in demand, and might be of no value in adjusting the balance of trade. *reign Pius.
