SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer is gratified to find that such Of its loyal contemporaries as, in justice to their convictions, ate constrained the most to regret the wtterance of the so-called “emancipation prociamation” of the President. are yet the most cogent in enforcing the duty of loyally standing by the constituted authorities of the mation, and that as yet taere has been no “ indi- cations of a factious spiriton the part of con- seryatives similar to that by which the Presi- dent has been harassed and ‘pressed’ during hus adherence to the policy orfginally prescribed to him.” ‘The editor of the Republican, who has gone North, doubtless on some flnanciering raid such as the hapiess treasuries of Maine and Massa- cchusetts have heretofore suffered at the hands of Weston & Co. writes from New York that the Northern Governors have really set about forwarding needed troops to the seat of war.

Ses o S7 eee TAE CONSCRIPTS DESERTING IN DROVES. ————> Our information from General McClellan's army is up to yesterday afternoon, when he ‘was busy, as ever since his late engagements, in getting his new troops into proper condi- tion—a work of some time, as experience has invariably proved. Nevertheless he is accom- plishing it satisfactorily and with dispatch. Since his retreat into Virginia, Lee has un- doubtedly received reinforcements to the extent of between twenty and thirty thousand men, all conscripts, with very few exceptions. Yet his army, we believe, is not stronger to-day than immediately after the battle of Antietam, ' owing to its large number of deserters, (from among the conscripts) who go off da bodies of twenty, fifty or a hundred, and wan- der over the country in the rear. | Lee is still conseripting in the country around him with remorseless energy, seizing all under forty-five who fall within his reach; taking citizens walking in the streets accompanied by their wives and children. The presence of troops so Obtained in his ranks in so much larger numbers than before, can hardly fail to ‘weaken the efficiency of his veteran and will- ing men greatly in the next series of engage- ments which, it is believed in our army, can hardly be postponed more than ten days lenger, unless Lee’s army dissolves of its own accord before that time, through desertions, lack of clothing, scarcity of provisions, &c.; the coun- try within reach of his commissaries and quar- termaster having already been cleaned almost as bare as the palm of one’s hand to clothe and feed bis army.

They were seven in number, and the work Was found heavier than was anticipated. A small body of Rebel cavalry made its ap- pearance, but dispersed upon the discharge of @ volley of musketry from our side. Wm. Benson, of the Satellite, was wounded by the discharge of his own piece,which he was bandling carelessly. He came up in the Dragon, and has been sent to the hospital.

We hear that our wounded men at the battle of Antietam are suffering, many of them, for the want of blankets. GRN. COCHRANE. : Gen. John Cochrane, U.S Volunteers, is in Washington to-day, evidently in fine health. Tux Excise Law—Common Carrrars.— The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has | decided “that the item marked ‘Express’ on ; page 89 of the Excise Law was not intended to | embrace the freight business of railroads and ordinary wagoners, but 1s limited to persons who are express carriers, and not mercly com- mon carriers, under thelaw.” And “that per- sons and companies engaged in transporting goods over the country as such business is usually performed by railroad corporation$, are not liable to the payment of a stamp tax upon the receipts given for such goods.” He is “also of opinion that the first item in sched- ule B does not include such receipts for freight as are generally given by railway companies. A receipt is no doubt ina technical sense an agreement or contract; but in the ordinary nse of language this close construction does not hold. Had Congress intended to include re- ceipts it wonld haye been easy to haye so pro- vided, in plain language.” a7 We get but few arms from Europe now, the supplies in foreign government arsenals being retained for possible use, if the revolu- tionary movements of the people of Italy and other States should make such provision neces- sary. &F Major Jos. P. Warner, a well-known cit- izen of Baltimore, died in that city yesterday suddenly. @7 The number of deaths in New York city last week was 210. PostaGr Stamps.—A. N. Zevely, Third Assistant Postmaster General, issued a circular to Postmasters generally, in which he informs them that the recent demand by the public for postage stamps, under an er- roneous impression with regard to the law au- thorizing the issue of “postage currency,” has entirely exhausted the surplus stock, and the Department is now dependent upon the daily manufacture to meet the req! tions of Post- masters. He therefore instr Postmasters that sales of stamps must be restricted to such as may be needed by the public for prepayment of postage, the ordinary demand at any oflice being the guide. An@ inasmuch as the unad- vised use of postage stamps as a circulating medium has soiled or defaced them in a greater or less degree, and evil persons, taking advan- tage ef that circumstance, ye put into circu. | lation stamps which have evidently been used in prepayment of postage, every Postmaster is instructed to treat as unpaid any letter placed in a Post Office for mailing which may be coy- ered with astamp at all soiled or defaced, or which has apparently been used in the payment of postage. Such letters will be sent at once to the Dead Letter Office. public instructions in mind. peatedly. It is important that the by special letters and. offi and use of postage stamps for a currency. fore- | seeing the results of such a course on the part | of the public. TRIENNIAL CONVENTION OF THE Protest- ANT EptscoraL Cuuncu.—The General Con- yention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, which is held every three years, assembled this morning at St. John’s Church, in New York city. There has not been any election of deputies from the dioceses of Kansas, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, | Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Tennessee. Admiral Dupont, one of the lay delegates from understood that he is now operating against Mobile. The Right Rev. Bishop Polk, of Lou- | isiana, the representative of the church militant of the © S. A., will probably fail to respond to his name at roll-eall. It is reported that no auction Whatever will be taken in regard to the absentees from the Southern dioceses, but that the Convention will proceed with its labors in the same manner as if the members from the Rebel States were in their places, and that no attempt will be made to introduce any ques- lion foreign to the ecclesiastical character of | the body. EFFECTS OF THE WAR IN MASSACHUSETTS.— | The laboring population of Massachusetts have | us yet experienced no pecnninary sufferings from the war. It has had a contrary offect; it has increased the demand for labor and ad- vanced wages. Whoever desires it can go to | the war, the wages, bounties, State aid, &c., giving more pay than laboring men eyer ob- tained in any business, or at any time in this country. The withdrawal of men for the army and navy has caused a scarcity for other pur- | poses, and wages have advanced for seamen and landsmen—for farmers and mechanics of all trades, PARTIAL RETRIRUTION.—It is said that Mat. Ward, the notorious 3 ‘xecrated murderer of Butler, the Louisville school teacher, a few years ago, owns 4 plantation near Helena, Ark. It is a strange coincidence that the 3d Ilinois, Col. Hovey’s school teachers’ regiment, is now encamped on his plantation. 87 The Houston (Texas) Telegraph, of the Sd imst., #2 The question whether Sam Ss Well as Postmasters should bear these | The Departinent has re- | Houston is alive is agitating the press both of the United States and the Confederate States.

Wijile many were clomations of genuine pride, uttered by { aunch Union men, at the sight of “Our the niilitary: dotheemmpeag all true Americans, sandeyen the Secqgyant ists themselves We ie OX first division of these troops, under Major-Gen.

This was, of course, the finest and largest army the citizens of Louisville baye ever witnessed, and it was worth the while to watch narrowly the effect of he sight upon different classes of individ- uals. The Union citizens were, of course, gratified at the arrival at the present time, while the city was menaced by a powerful and unprincipled toe; but upon the countenances of the Secesh sympathizers sat a look of the ut- most disappointment and chagrin. Whatever hopes they had heretofore entertained of their friends in the Rebel army effecting an entrance and occupation of the city were at once put to flight, and all are compelled now to ac- | knowledge that Louisville is safe. | At present everything indicates an early and | decided forward movement of our troops here, | and when that movement is made you may © ct something to be done, as our two leading ; milttary men haye evidently resolved to move with rapidity and energy. Among Buell’s men and subordinate officers I haye heard much grumbling at the course which he has pursued, ; as they seem to think a fight with Ry at Muntordville, wonld have resulted in the defeat and rout of the rebel army. But my opinion is, that Buell knows exactly what he is about, and | it would have been simply folly for him to have | risked a general engagement with an enemy of | fully his own force, who had the choice of posi- tions, and who had also heayy reinforcements , within reach at all times. Again, had Buell allowed the enemy to reach this point in advance of him, a battle between Bragg's veterans and our raw troops must have ensued, which, a3 he | would haye had much the larger force, must | have resulted in the loss or destruction of the city. But now an adyance can be made upon the enemy which Hl certainly drive him far beyond the borders of the State. ‘he last heard of the enemy was being near Zeigilersyille, on the banks of the east fork of Salt river. The men were clamoring loudly for the possession ofeither Louisville or Cincinnati, which they have been so frequently promised, and declared their unwillingness to leave the State without having gained possession of at | least one of these places. But Bragg knows too | well the strength of both these points to under- | take their capture; and so the grand rebel army | is completely at a stand still—the officers wish- | ing to move in one direction and the men de- | claring their intention of moving in another. This state of affairs, however, cannot last | as the army is being completely demora and it is said thats of desertion w Gen. Buell is naw in command of the city, he being the senior Major General at this point. How long it will be before an adyance is made I, of course, am unable to say positively, but | probably within a week at farthest. BY TELEGRAPH. General Buell Relieved of his Command— Gen.
