Kentucky.
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

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

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

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.

on all the leading topics of the day, both Religions and Seo
flier. 11 the various subjects 'that present themselves for
consideration : and that are worthy the attention of intelli
gent ana Christian people, are discussed from the Christian
stand-point; and in the comprehensive spirit of Christian
charity, and enlarged benevolence.
From the beginning of our present * National troubles, this

high and fearless ground fn favor of the Constitution and the
regularly ordained Government, and of the preservation of
the integrity of the Union. Its 'utterances have been firer
and decided, and they will continue to be such until the
spiritof rebellion has been entirely quenched, and our Gov
ernmerit MN° more firmly eitablished.
