The Intelligencer continues its exertions to resuscitate the straight-out Whig party as an opponent of the Republican organization; and publishes, in advance of any official or authen- tic information on the subject, an onslaught on the Secretary of War, with reference to his share of the controversy, said to exist between the War Department and General Scott. We take it for granted that the General is theputa- tive father of the article in question, which amounts to a mere showing of his own views of the controversy, wherein the Secretary is, of course, represented as being wholly in the wrong. There is a want of propriety in this publics ion, in the face of the fact that the Department has submitted in silence to mis- representations of this affair on all sides, which convinces us that it finds a place in the Intel- ligencer ouly after urgent solicitation to that end, and emanates from the source which has so long been “‘stuffing’’ the newspaper corres- pondents with erroneous statements and views concerning the subject matter. The Union replies to the Intel/zgencer’s late comments on the (alleged) insufficiency of the Pennsylvania victory, so far as its being of advantage to the future of the Demoeratic perty is concerned; and praises without stint Mr. David T. Disney, a member of the last House from Ohio, for his letter on the Kansas question, addressed to a Demeeratic meeting in Kentucky. WASUINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. American Inventions.—While writing of the folly of those whose partizanship in the matter of the current war induces them to growl ovgr patronege of any sort bestowed by the belligerent governments upon Americans, which may not involve a violation of the laws of this land, our thoughts involuntarily turned to the fact that the genius of our countrymen had, of late years especially, accomplished much, indeed, in the way of facilitating war. Celt’s pistols are yet ahead of everything of the sort known to armies; while Peiry’s and Sharp’s rifies are both regarded by practised E s being superior tothe Minnie (French far-shooting) rifle, which this war has render- ed famous. They have been thoroughly test- ed, side by side, on our frontier, and the con- sequcnee is the order fur the immense supply of American patent rifles for the British, now heing filled in Connedeut, to which we re- ferred a day or two since. Campbeli’s American army saddle, too, a n of great merit, might be adopt- eri iu service in the Crimea with wonderful re- sults, -. far as a saving of horse fiesh is con- cer ed. in times past, we have done at least our share of campaigning, ex chera/, as a Texas Ren ser, our companions in arms being» as 2 boriy, the finest horsemen the world held, and mer corcful of the condition of their animais than any other body of mounted troops could be; as while none of them received pay. each man was the absolute owner of his own bi rse, equipments, &c. Such soldiersmay reassnably be expected to attend more closely tu their animals than any others. Now, after making spring and fall campaigns regularly for some five years, we are able to say that at least three-fourths of the knocking up of dra- gvons or rangers horees occuring on a two months’ tour of duty, arises from galling the horse’s back or loins, or straining it by an im- }roper disposition of the load. The Texas saddle is simply a rustic military saddle-tree, with a blanket underneath and one above, to form the cushioned seat of the rider. Itis the easiest saddle heretofore extensively in use; as tue rider can dispose of the under blanket so as greatly to relieve pressure at any particular point on the animal, as well as sv arrange his cushion as to be easiest where new inve be may want iteasy. Yet the Texas saddle , is by no means a perfect one, though we have Imquently seen fine and expensive American military and other saddJes thrown on the prai- Tie in the course of a long march or excursion’ nd a rough Texas tree resorted to in its stead’ save the horse from knocking up, of course., But the latest improvement of the American sru-y saddle is just the thing that is wanted - calpaigning—for dragoon service. Up te me, the army saddles in every country have bcen so constructed as that they cannot ais he nicely accommodated to the size, shape, or | condition of the horse. They furnish a seat, hard and unyielding to the rider; their under blanket folds or paddings bear unequally upon the back of the horse, heat the skin, and ble t gall the flesh. Besides this, in Jies % constructed, and heretofore most in e. there are disadvantages in the general evafiguration and finish; the pommel and eautie being too high, and the fixtures too in- convenient for ready use. This is felt in mounting and dismounting, in the galling of the Lorse’s back by the “hearing of the valise beh, in the position and use of the holsters before, chafing both the rider and the horse, wud ix the general difficulty of adjusting the saddle and accoutrement- In a deservedly popular and standard work on“ Cavalry,” by Capt. L. E. Nolan, fifteenth bussars, an account is given of a cavalry sad- die, proposed by himself as the resuit of ex- tensive observation and {ong and thorough | experiment. The chief objects to be attained | by Capt. Nolan's improvement, are to Gt the vaddie to every size, shape. and condition of horse, aud to secommodate the rider with a better seat, giving him at the same time a more perfect control of the horse. and of his arms and equipments, To do thishe proposes strips of /e/t, covered with serge, to be ear- ried about, and increased or diminished in umber as nevessity requires. In other words, the tree is sid, and muet be Adjusted to the horse by felds of felt, which are eumbersome, inconvenient, and liable to be lost. He also proposes to dispense with flaps, as being slip- pery, and not giving a firm hold to the leg, in whieh case felt is substituted, or else the horseman must ride with long boots or leather overalls on account of the sweat from the horse. This saddle, it will be seen at once. though aiming to acoomplish the desired ob- jects, is susceptible of most obvious improve- ments, which, it is claimed, have been made in Campbell’s sivddle. While the alterations of Capt. Nolan show the great attention he has paid to the subject, it is evident that he has not been so successful in removing the defects heretofore existing, as could be desired. Now the object of “Campbell’s American Army Sad- dle’’ is to remedy these defects. To accom- plish this, the principle assumed is to make the saddle easy to both horse and rider, with- out the intervention of cumbersome pads or blankets, nothing more being required for this saddlo than one thickness under it of moss, hair, or wool tissue, to absorb the sweat, and keep the flesh from being heated. The first and fundamental improvements, therefore, have been accomplished in the frame work or saddie-tree, which has been so shaped as to fit the back of the horse in all its points; it being evident that the same weight pressing equally on all portions of a surface, will in that ratio relieve the bearing of every part. The same construction will give to the rider an easier seat, by distributing the bear- ings of his weight equally over the surface of the sitting. To secure this result, the tree is of a different construction from those hereto- fore in use. The bars, as to size, shape, weight, and adaptation, are formed so as to embody the above principle. The pommel and cantle are likewise formed with a view to make the saddle lower, and to perfect the seat of the rider. These are then connected with the bars, not to make a solid frame-work or foundation as heretofore, but by steel-springs. so attached as to give the bars an easy motion upwards, in accommodating the saddle to any condition, shape, or size of the horse, and at the same time to preserve all the necessary firm- ness and consistency of the saddle. Improvements have also been made in the girthing. Saddles, horetofore, have been formed so that in securing themto the horse, the girths have passed directly around the re- gion of the heart, or immedigtely over it, thus obstructing the circulation of the blood, and the free motion and breathing of the horse, and rendering him incapable of fording or swimming streams should oceasioy require it. The girths of Campbell’s saddle proceed from the pommel and cantle, and are so arranged as to bind around the belly and not over the heart. The holsters have been also spranged so as to secure a great advantage over those hereto. fore in use. The lid or cover is a piece of firm leather, moulded to the requisite shape, and fastened at its lower extremity to the outside of the holster, a convenient distance down, by a pivot, on which itis madeto turn. Bya single motion of the hand it is thrown from, or returned to its position, and when shut it gives equal protection to tho arms from the weather with those heretofore in use, white whep open it leaves the mouth of the holster clear and unobstructed. Having no hindrance from buckles, the weapons may be drawn or re- turned in an instant. The holsters so framed are attached to the saddle in the following manner: The flap, of required size and shape, is extended beyond the pommel, in front or over the borse’s neck and withers. On the top or centro of this flap isa metallic pin, and on cither side farther down are metallic loops. The holsters are provided on the neither side with thin metal- lic catches, which enter these loops while the pin secures their connection at the top. The lower extremities of the holsters are then se- cured in place by a strap fastening them to the lower loops of the flap. This arrangement prevents the holsters from chafing the shoul- ders of the horse, and throws them entirely out of the way of the rider, and may be re- garded as a permanent fixture. The wa/ise has likewise been greatly im- proved. The flap is extended in the same manner from the cantle behind, and provided with similar fastenings. The valise instead of presenting one straight cylindrical form, and resting only on the back-bone of the horse, ag heretofore, is broken in the middle, and pre- sents two mouths or openings, furnishing two receptacles, one on either side. The corners of these mouths are secured by a single strap buckling to each, Whereas heretofore several buckles have been necessary, so requiring a longer time for adjustment. This valise can also be readily used for ail purposes by the rider while seated on the horse. Anvother ad- vantage is, that the valise is kept from cha- fing the horse’s: back by the flaps underneath to which it is fastened, and by throwing the weight of the valise and its contents on either side, and so relieving the pressure from the | back-bone. Still another advantage is, that the extremities of the valise are made to fall | so as not to impede the ridefin mounting and | dismounting, and are so secured as to be kept , from the rider’s seat by the cdges of the cantle. The advantage of the construction of the tree, giving ease and elasticity to the seat of | the rider, and operating as a continual spring : of adjustment, with every motion of horse and : rider, can be easily appreciated. | The weight of the saddle, with all the ac- coutrements attached, js from three to five | Pounds leas than former saddles of equal size. | Its general appearance for material, work- manship, durability, and elegance, is not sur- pessed by any product of a similar nature in | the whole eircle of American manufacture. | The improvement to which we refer above | is not only of importance to the parties to the current European war, but to all equestrians who appreciate the comfort of a firm and easy seatin the saddle, andthe importance of saving horse flesh.

The market is more freely supplied with war- rants, but they meet with ready sale at the advanced prices. The warrants are bought upon orders, and immediately forwarded West to the land offices, to be used in entering lands instead of gold. From some of the Western offices advices have been received, that owing tothescarcity of warrants a majority of theland entered is paid for in gold—that the revenue from the lands is double the amount estimated. It has been generally supposed that, ere this, land warrants would have sold for one dollar per acre; yet we find that they have advanced under an issue larger than was anticipated, when the estimates that the price would fall to one dollar per acre were made. Before the jsgue of warrants under the late ast, warrants were selling at aboyt present prices, but re- ceded to 106al08c. per acre as soon as the new issue commenced. In August, they reached 112e. per acre; but during September receded t» 107a108c., from which price they have ad- vanced since the last week in September to the present quotations. itis herdiy pogsibje for them to advance any higher, as the present price leaves but little margin for those who order from the West to sell to settlers, and set- tlers, generally, prefer to pay gold to pur- chasing warrants, unless they can saye from eight to ten cents per acre. The money market has become somewhat more stringent, owing to the foreign advices of advanced rates in England. Donda and stocks are generally lower, and will probably yemain so until more favorable advices from Europe. The Illinois Central Railroad sold, during the month of September, 29,911 acres of land, realizing $14.70 per acre or $439,684, The Washington Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad have declared a dividend of 4 Fer cent. for the last six months. The weekly statement of the New York city banks exhibits the following increases : $1,322,000 in specie, $1,236,000 in deposites, $44,000 in loans, and 48,000 in circulation. The arrival of the Africa, with more fayvor- able financial advices, has given an impetus to the stock market, and has made money much easier. The Bank of England has made no further advance in the rate of interest. Consols have advanced. Breadstuffs are firm at previous prices. Cotton was depressed, and sold at one farthing less than the advices per previous steamer. e—_—_——eoo.oe ———— Launch of the U. 8. Steamship Wabash. {Correspondence of the Evening Star.} Puwaveupaia, Oct. 24, 1855. The Idunch cf the war steamer Wabash, to-day, at twenty-five minutes past twelve o’clock, was the most splendid affair of the kind ever witnessed at this navy yard. She was welcomed into her native element by a national salute of twenty-one guns, and was christened by that beautiful and accomplished young lady, Miss Grice, the daughter of the naval constructor, Mr. Francis Grice. The lady looked lovely as she stood up in the forward part of the ship and broke the bottle over the noble vessel’s head as she first touched the water. The Wabash’s dimensions are those of a ship-of-the-line, and her spars, rigging, &c., are in proportion, as the following meazure- ment will show : Peet. In. 262 Length between the perpendiculars. Length of thread of ay o. Length from knighthead Length over all Beam extreme Sy a ar Sy «+ 26 mong the officials present on board with Mr. Grice I noticed Mr. Delano, the naval constructor at the Brooklyn navy yard, and Mr. Pook, the naval constructor at the Wash- ington navy yard. After the ship was launced and hauled into the wharf, the mechanics and laborers, at two o'clock, partook of a handsome collation pre- pared by Mr. Megary, of the Megary House which was an excellent affair, and such, i think, as could not have been surpassed, even by Megary himself. It was a most bountiful collation for the money appropriated to fur- nish it, (two hundred and fifty dollars,) and I aim sure that Megary did not more thap clear himself, to say nothing of the trouble, which must have been very great. I would simply Suggest to the Government, and to all others, that when they want a collation served up they should call on our friend Megary, and he wil @ them one that would satisfy the most fastidious epicure; so say all who yk of this cejlation to-day. To enliven soene, the United States cornet band discoursed some iizs wusie, and added yjych to the enjoyments of the day. it is hoped that the Government will spegd- ily put up another vessel here in the place just vacated by the Wabash, as there can be no better or cheaper work done than by the mechanics of this yard.

The following additional foreign news was brought by the Africa, which arrived at Hal- ifax yesterday : [BY THE HOUSE PRINTING TELEGRAPE. | The Hermann left Southampton for New York, on the 10th instant, witha full comple- ment of passengers. HE WAR. * qT But little has occurred st the seat of war be- were threatening ‘erekop, and that their advance had, for a eres the fact that the Allies time, been checked. French troops were being eoncentrated on the Danube, and Odessa was expected to be immediately bombarded by the allied fleet, which was before its walls. The garrison at Kars still held out. General Simpson, in his last dispatch, dated Sebastopol, September 29, says that 9,500 men were employed daily in making a road from Balaklava to the camp. Fatigue parties in the town were engaged in getting lumber and other materials from the river, in order to get shelter for the troops before bad weather set in. The Russian fire from the batteries on the north side caused General Thompson some lit- tle annoyance, but has not prevented work being carried on. By the explosion of a kind of infernal machine, numbers of which had been dug up in various parts of the town and around the batteries, an officer and nineteen = ich (tiie eneral Simpson reports a trifli - mentin which the 10th Hussare andthe Chas. seurs beat back the Cossacks near Kertsch. A letter from Vienna states that several bankers there give credence to the rumor that Russia is contracting a loan in North America, and that the negotiations are likely to be con- cluded. Marseilles advices of the 10th state that the Minister of War was still using every exertion to re-inforce the army in the rijetetd A letter from Sebastopol, in the Frankfort Gazette, states that the sunken Russian ships can be raised without difficulty, as the Rus- sians closed them in every part but one, and having attached hose to the hulls so that the water can be pumped out when required Pelisier and Simpson, according to the Dar- by Newe, have had a mecting with a view to prevent what they consider indiscreet revela- = J newspaper correspondents, military and civil. General Marmora declares, in an order of the day, that ke will severely punish the au- thor of any letters which may have been found, by informing the Russians of the move- ments of the Allies, to have injured the posi- tion of the latter. THE LATEST. ADVANCE OF THE ALLIES UPON PEREKOP. A dispatch from Prince Gortschakoff, dated October 9th, received at St. Petersburg, states that the Allies had advanced from Eupatoria, threatening Perekop; but bad retired on meet- ing the advance posts of the Russian left fank. Sixteen battalions of the Russians were thrown into disorder. RETIREMENT OF THE RUSSIANS According to the Frankfort Post Zietung, the body of the Russian army had been with- drawn from the plateau on the north side of Sebastopol towards the heights of the Belbec. Only a tew thousand men now garrisoned the northern forts. In the neighborhood of Nicolaieff some 45,000 men are concentrated, 28,000 of whom belong to the newly raised military. A BRITISI| FLEET SENT TO THE COAST OF ITALY. Her Majesty’s chips Rodney, Albion, Lon- don, Leander, and Wasp, have received orders to proceed, under the command of Admiral Stopford, to the coast of Italy. They will be- gin their jnission, it is said, in the Bay of Na- ples. FILLING UP THE TRENCHES. A letter from Scbastopol, in the Marseilles Journal, eays that oue of the orders which has been executed by the troops with the greatest pleasure, is that of filling up the trenches. It is stated that tho troops regard their prospects favorably—that a great number of the sol- diers of the class of 1847, who may now quit the service, do not wish tu do so. BOMBARDMENT OF ODESSA. The allied ficet, which, aeco ding to the last news, had sailed ona secret expedition from Sebastopol, anchored off Odessa on the 9th of October. Prince Gortschakoff reports that the forze consists of 8 ships-of-the-line, 27 steamers, aod one other yezscl. No news of the bombardment had been re- geived up to the latest dates, but was expected immediately. Odessa, since the destruction of the corn porte in the sea of Azoff, has formed the chief, if not the sole, means of support of the Russian army in the Crimea. The Emperor of Russia and suite arrived at Odessa on tae 22d of September, but left again the negt day for Nicolaieff to attend @ council ot war. i RUSSIAN LOSSES. The Invalide Russe gives a detailed ac- count of the losses of the Russian garrison on the 8th September, as follows: Killed, 2.684 ; wounded, 6,058 ; contusions, 1,205; missing, 1,754—total, 11,701. Thesame Journal states that the Russians iost 1,500 men on the 10th cf August, and 1,000 men per day every day up to September 6th. Thus it would appear that the losses of the garrison for the last three weeks of the siege amounted to 32,200, irre- apectively of disease. THE DANUBE. According to the Cunstantinople Journal, the commander of the Turkish army on the Danube has received instructions to provide rations for forty or fifty thousand French troops, who are to arrive at Silistria abcut the end of Octuber. A telegraphic dispatch from Constantinople states that the Anglo-Turkish contingency has received orders to proceed to Schumia. MEDIATION. In a circular addressed by the Austrian Government to its representatives, it is inti- mated that though Prussia is at liberty to act as mediator between the belligerent powers, the present is not a favorable time fur such mediation—that in fact the Western Pow ers must follow up the advantage gained, and not treat with Russia until they have ex- pelled them from the Crimea. The manifes‘o asserts that the most perfect understanding existed between Austria and France. THE WAK IN ASIA. Gen. Monriaeff had forwarded to St. Peters- burgh a report of a successful engagement in which the Cossacks, militia and dragoons, commanded by Lieut. Cieneral Kivalenski, defeated a detachment of 1,800 regular Turk- ish Cavalry and 1,000 Bashi Bazouks. The Turks had about 400 killed. Ali Pasha, the commandef, who took part in most of the last wars of Turkey, was made prisoner. The Turks lost all their guns. The garrison at Kars still hold out, though redurant to great extremes. Part of Omar Pasha’s force was advancing from Batoum to attempt to raise the blockade. The Turkish force now at Kara numbers 10,000 men. THE BALTIC. The Russians are repairing Sweaborg with the greatest activity, enlarging the barracks and building batteries, dc. Further accounts from Rega, though meagre, of the bombard ment, state that batteries at the mouth of the Duna had suffered little, but the battery at Ballen had considerably. On the 25th of Se aera three frigates anchored at the mouth of the river Sulis and the boat's crew set fire to ten yessels. Rear Admira} Ponaad describing the expe- dition to the Gulf of Botania by one French corvette and two English steame: states eleven Russian vessels, anchored off Burans, aud asmall town on the Finish coast, were captured, and eight other vessels, making the tonnage captured 2,500.
