Tho numerous maps, plana and diagrams of the operations of the Union and rebel troops in Virginia, Missouri, Hlinois, Plorida, and on the Mis- sissippi and Missouri rivers, which have been pub- lished from time to time in the New Yorx Hxwarp, are now printed-on one sheet, and is ready for delivery. Agents desiring copies are requested to send in their orders immediately, Single copies six cents. Wholesale prise the same as for the Wexkry Heraup, THE SITUATION, From St. Louis papers we give some details of another brilliant victory fo. our troops—this time sland force. It will be seen that some four hun- dred and thirty Union troops repulsed as many thousands of Confederates at Lexington, Missourl— leaving sixty dead on the spot, besides a number of wounded. Of late the news fromthe seat of war has been rather encouraging to the govern- ment and the country. First, there was the important naval victory at the entrance to the Tulet of Hatteras. According to our telegraphic intelligence to-day it is likely enough there may be soon another naval victory at the entrance to Beaufort. But already there is a land triumph in Missouri, reflecting almost equal credit upon the federal arms as the victory at Hatteras. There is @ third victory over the enemy, but it was not ac- complished by our troops. It was done by the land of Providence. It is the wreck of the pri- vateer Jeff. Davis at the mouth of the harbor of St. Augustine, in Florida, by which a mischievous Piratical craft that prayed so ferociously on our cominerce is not only for ever disposed of, but the harbor is more effectually closed thanif three of our ehips-of-war were stationed at it, or if it had been blocked up by old hulks filled with stones, as has been done on the coast of North Carolina, The entrance to the harbor of St Augus- tine—one ef the most important ports in the Btate—is so marrow at the bar where the Jeff. Davis was grounded, that when the sand ac. cumulates over and around the wreck it will be dmpossible for trading vessels to enter. But not only have we had the news of the wreck of the Jeff. Davis, but of the end of him after whom the pirate craft was called. Some doubt has been thrown on the truth of the intelligence which we published yesterday; ‘but there is confirmation of the report in our Washington despatch ef this morning, and it is added that his death took place, not on Saturday, Sut on Monday morning, and that the eflicers at Manassas are wearing crape on their arms. This ‘would also account for the rebel flag being at half- mast in the vicinity of Washington. It may be aid that if Jefferson Davis were dead there would be more noise about it. There may be, however, @ very good reason for concealing the death a3 long as possible at the present critical Position of Kentucky, when there is deep design to spirit that State out of the Union as Virginia ‘was spirited out; and news of the death of Jeffer- s0n Davis would sadly embarrass the plans of the secessionists. From all appearances the news is probable, and if it should be finally confirmed it will be a heavy blow (o the Confederate canse, We have the important intelligence that hos- tilities have aetually begun in Kentucky, and that shots have been exchanged between the federal gunboats on the Mississippi and the rebel gunboat Yankee, as well as with rebel batteries on the Kentucky shore at Wickman, and also with «mall arms at Columbus and Chalk Bluff. Fortu- nately none of the federal troops were injured. It is stated in our news from Missouri that Ben, McCulloch's army is demoralized, and that he is fetreating with five thousand men to Arkansas, while Hardee was moving in the same direction with six thousand men, Yet we are told the enemy are fortifying a position at Sykeston, and that General Price and other Confederate Generals ‘were marching with twelve thousand men towaads Jefferson City, and fifteen thousand rebels under Pillow are reported at New Madrid. Arrangements had been made between General Pillow and Colo- nel Wallace for an exchange of prisoners, The army of General Prentiss had reached Jackson, some ten miles west of Cape Girardeau, and he had met with no enemy. The report that he took 180 prisoners is, therefore, untrue. From Western Virginia intelligence has been received from General Rosencrans that he is safe, aud in to danger of capture. ! In the vicinity of Washington the rebela still hold their positions, but according to the accounts we receMe of the condition of their army-—fifty | per cent being sick—they will be able to effect but itile either in attack or defence, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1861, THE NEWS. The New York Democratic State Convention, for the nomination of candidates for State offices, assembled at Syracuse yesterday, at noon, and proccedod to business by appointing Hon. Francis Kiernan, of Oneida, temperary chairman. Mr. Kiernan returned his thanks in a speech which, it is believed, embodied the sentiments of the platform that will ultimately be adopted by the Conven- tion. Tho Committee on Permanent Organization reported the name of Heman J. Redfield for Presi- dent, with the usual allowance of vice presidents and secretaries, and the selection was duly ratified. Tho Committee on Contested Seats made a report with reference to the rival Tam- many and Mozart delegations, and after some dis- cussion the Convention decided to admit both sets of delegates. The vote stood 110 to 98. The Tammany delegates did not relish this mode of settling the question, and withdrew to deliberate, Meantime the Convention appointed a Committee on Resolutions, composed entirely of anti-Mozart men, and subsequently adjourned till this morn- ing. A full report of the proceedings of the Con- vention, together with an account of the doings of the politicians outside of the Convention, may be found elsewhere in our columns, The schooner H. Middleton—a prize to the Uni- ted States—arrived at this port yesterday, in charge of a prize crew commanded by Midshipman Kempf, having been captured on the 2ist of August, off Charleston, by the sloop-of-war Vandalia, She was from Charleston, bound to Liverpool, with a cargo of naval stores, and had attempted to run the block- ade, During the chase she had throwa overboard the entire deck load, The captain and crew of the prize were transferred to the frigate Roanoke. The United States gunboat Wyandot, Commander Baldwin, from Fort Pickens 2d and Key West 28th ult., arrived at this port yesterday. She re- ports the health of the troops at Fort Pickens as good, and that a large number of the rebel troops at Pensacola lad deserted and gone to their homes, The rebel prisoners that arrived here in the frig- ate Minnesota from Fort Hatteras were yesterday conveyed to Governor's and Bedloe’s islands. The New Orleans Picayune states that the robels lave released on parole the Union prisoners taker at Fort Fillmore and elsewhere in Texas. In our columns this morning will be found an interesting Jetter from General Lana, of the Spanish army, on the condition of the Union army of the Potomac tendays after the battle of Pull run, This gentleman is the Spanish General alluded to by Mr. Russell in his letter of August 5, which apreared in yeaterday’s Henap, and the General’s let er certainly confirms the opinions attributed to hin by our cotemporary of the London Zimes. Brit it is not to be wondered at that regiments wuca had been in camp three months, many of them at hard work, exposed to all kinds of weather and cheated by all kinda of contractors, should be a little, or even very, dirty looking. Ten days after the Bull run disaster the camps around Washington were not in the very best order, and it was a bad time for a stranger to gather impressions of our army from what he must have seen at that time, before General McClellan undertook the task of restoring order and organization. Let peral Lana pay our army of the Potomac a visit now, and he will find things very different; and in another letter he might reverse all he has said, even to the taking back his predictions in regard to the ‘“ver- tain” success of the Southerners, The Madrid journals of August 19 state that the explanations given by Senor Toro, Envoy from the republic of Venezuela, lead to the hope of a speedy re-establishment of the relations between Spain and that State, It was thought likely that Senor Toro would be officially received by the Queen at Santender as Minister Plenipotentiary for Venezuela, Our advices from Kingston, Jamaica, are to the 2st ult., but the news is unimportant. Southern accounts of the Bull run battle had been received and were apparently credited. The question of procuring from this country liberated slaves as emigrants was beginning to be agitated. The census returns showed, unexpectedly, a large in- crease of population since 1844, notwithstanding the terrible ravages of cholera and smal'pox in the interim. The diocess of Jamaica is to be divided by detaching the Bahamas therefrom. A regular meeting of the Board of Education was held last evening, but no business of public importance was brought before the Commission- ers, all the business transacted being of a routine nature, which has accumulated during the summer recess. The Commissioners of Emigration held their regular weekly meeting yesterday, when the sum of $2,500 was appropriated to the Quarantine Com- missioners for the support of the sick. Arrange- ments will shortly be made between the different roads and the Commissioners for the purpose of forwarding emigrants from Castle Garden, The number of emigrants who arrived here during the last week was 805, making a total of 54,799 during the present year—a decrease of 17,750 up to the same time last year. The number of inmates on Ward's Island is 837. The Treasurer's report | shows a balance in the bank of $14,537 50. The receipts of beef cattle were much heavier this | week than last, but with a tolerably active demand prices advanced 4c. a Me. per pound, raging from 6%e. to 8% 9. Sheep and lambs were about 25c. per head better on the average, though the range was much the same, Swine sold at 3Y%e. a 44. The receipts were 4,530 beeves, 129 cows, 404 veals, 14,320 sheep and lambs and 4,004 swine. ‘Tho cotton markot was again firmer and active yoster. day, with sales of about 3,500 bales, in part to spinners and in pai on speculation, The market closed on the basis of 220. 3ge. for middiing uplands. The sates included the remainder of the Jot imported from Liver pool by the Guy Mannering (200 bates) of the standard of good mi idling Gulf cottons at 2344c. Tho stock in this market on (he 1st inst. has been roported by the Shipping List at about 37,000 bales, ‘his inciudes lots held in store on spinners’ account not yet removed from the city and not likely to come again on the market. Still the stock ) roved Jarger than had been anticipated ana yet not so heavy as to effect prives or the viows of holders regarding the future, The flour market Was firm for common State and Western shipping grades, while the higher grades of extras were dull and unchanged, and sales were fair. Wheat was tolerably active at steady prices. Corn was firm, and in fair demand for the eastward and for ex port. Pork was duil and Jower, with gales of mess at $14 25 and of prime at $9 75a $t0. Sugars were quite firm, with sales of 1,200 bhds., 165 boxes and 1,300 bags at prices given in ancther column, Cuff.¢ was gtenty, with sales of 1,200 bags of Rio at 18.40. a 14 4ye., and £5) mats of new Java at 0c. Freights were steady, while engagements were moderate. Tie Reyivar or Besivess—Ovr Apverrising Coteus remarked the recent large increase in the num- ber of our advertisements, During the past eight or ten days that number has nearly doubled, and we now haye almost as much of our space occupied by advertisements as ever before, and if this pressure of news and adyer- tisements continues, we shall shortly be obliged to resume our issues of triple sheets. The ad- vertising columns of such a journal as the Hr- katy are admitted to be fair exponents of the ‘ity of our city, and the recent increase in our advertising patrcnage is the first and the best indi in of the great revival in trade commerce, amusements and business of every kind. The people have confidence in the ener- gy of the administration and in its journalists} they have taken the popular loan, and the pros- peet that this insurrection will be finally set- Hed before next May has reinspired even the most desponding. Our advertisements show | this conclusively, Our readers will, by this time, have | i A Time for Action and Not for Words. Tho newspapers sre filled with praises of the speech delivered at Irving Hall by Mr. Holt, formerly Postinaster General and Secretary of War under Mr. Buchanan. The speech is no doubt a very good one in its way, and in its proper time and place would merit all that is said of it. It seems, however, like a waste of the flowers of oratory for the speaker to deliver these brilliant and patriotic effusions in New York, Boston and other Northern cities, where people are all of the same way of thinking, and where there is absolutely nobody to convince. It is time that Mr, Holt, and others like him, should understand that the eva ofstump speeches has passed away, and that we are entering upon one in which genius and action will alone suit the exigencies of the times. Stump speaking has debauched and ruined the country, and those who, on the strength of this single qualification, have contrived to push themselves into places of power and influence, are being rapidly thrast aside to make way for men of capacity and energy. General McClellan understands the drama and the age, and makes no stump speeches. When, returning from his victories in Virginia to assume the command of the army of the Potomac, he was called upon in Philadel phia to address the crowd that assembled to offer him an ovation, he declined, with the em- phatic remark that this was not a time for speaking, but for action. Nor does General Fremont make stump speeches. “ Friends,” said he at Cairo, when called out by the crowd, “ Thave too much work before me to thiuk of spending it in idle talk. Wait until the war is over, and I wilt give you as many speeches as you will care to listen to.” And so with General Wool and General Banks, The former uses no more words than are necessary to make his orders understood ; and the latter, though one of the finest stump speakers in the country, finds that he has something more important to do than to gratify his tastes or the tastes of others in this respect. Inter arma silent lingue is now the motto and rule of conduct of our representative men. The talkers will conse- quently have to yield the stage to the workers, and retire to the background until the shifting scenes of the drama admit of another interval of suspended action, when the monologue and chorus may again resume their places, Mr. Holt surely does not wish to occupy the position of the unlucky comedian who got shut out before the drop curtain, thus affording the audience a surplusage of mirth. We are sick to nausea of speeches here in New York, and cer- tainly do not desire a larger supply just now. Let him go to Kentucky, whose fortunes are balancing in the wind, and where his accom- plishments a8 a stump speaker may be of some use, If there, as here, the time be gone by for talking, he can at least shoulder » mus- ket and de good service in the field in defence of the Union and of his native State against the encroachments of the Southern traitors. There are among the men of action, too, some who need a word of advice. Our suc- cesses since the conimencement of the war have not been either so important or 80 numerous as to afford much room for self-congratulation. We are afraid that our people are getting into the bad habit of making much of small victories. The effect of this is to give our officers and soldiers a false estimate of the merit of their own deeds. If we make heroes out of men who have performed but very ordinary acts of duty, where will be the rewards of those who accomplish extra- ordinary results? It is not thus that great armies are formed. The highest honor that the ambition of the English or French soldier craves is a few words of favorable recoguition in the report of his chief. None but the con- querors of provinces and kingdoms receive public ovations. It is not so with us, No seoner does the commander of @ small expedi_ tion accomplish the duty that he is sent upon than he hurr'es back to receive the honors that | he knows await him in the large cities. This is all wrong, Great services are entitled to great rewards, and we do injustice to the deserving by lavishing indiscriminately upon all the tributes which are due only to extraordinary merit. Its effect upon the morale | of our officers, too, is most injurious. Instead of stimulating them to greater cfforts it relaxes their energies. The leader who gains a small advantage over the enemy, instead of studying how to prosecute it to greater results. only busies himself to find a pretext to get home to enjoy the felicitations of his friends and neighbors. This must be stopped, and the best way to stop it is for the government to appoiat to important commands officers that it can | rely upon, and then to entrust them with } larger discretionary powers. The turn in the tide of fortune inaugurated by the capture of | the Hatteras forts should have suffered no pause. Jt is only by a series of rapid blows of that kind that terror can be stricken into the Southern heart and the backbone of rebellion broken, Let us have no more stump speeches or publie ovations. It will be time enough for these when the work of the campaign is got | through. Foutow Ir Ur.—It is to be hoped that, with all possible despatch, the Jate important victory and occupation of Hatteras Inlet will be fol- | lowed up in similar movements at other points along the seaboard of our revolted States, The coast survey, in its maps and charts and soundings, has furnished all the needful infor- mation concerning the inlets, chénuels, harbors, | &e., of our whole Atlantic coast; so that the government, before moving to this point, that point or the other, has all the means of know- ing the depth of water to be provided for, and the shoals and sandbars to be avoided. What, it strikes us, is immediately necded now, in connection with our ocenpation of Hatteras Inlet, is a half dozen, or more or less, light draught steam gunboats, to cruise about in those extensive inland waters—Albemarle and Pam- lico Sounds. Tn this way we may give employ- ment to fifty thousand rebels on the shores of those sounds; while, in the absence of any cruisers therein, the rebels may quietly collect an overwhelming force, and precipitate it upon Hatteras Inlet, and recapture it. We must urge, therefore, the importance, not only of fol- lowing up this Hatteras victory with other | enterprises of the same character, but of im- mediately securing against all accidents the in- valuable lodgment gained. En or = Froeran Troors.—Fort Schuyler has cost the government of the United States a million of dollars. It is one of the best located positions in the country for the en- campment of treops or for use as 9 military school of instruction. Yet we learn that agenta of the government are negotiating for country seats of private gentlemen in Westchester coun- ty, with the evident intention of spending mo- ney unnecessarily which ought to be econo mized. Anend ought to be put to all such jobbing, At Willett’s Point, Fort Schuyler and Scarsdale thero is already five times the room that is needed, and every cent of money laid out at Fordham or elsewhere will be thrown away: Pho Secession Abolition Journals Making War on the Journcymen Printers. A day or two ago we were shown a petition to the New York Typographical Society, signed by Grecley & Co. for the Tridune, and Ray- mond & Co. for the Times associati us, and asking that the rates of wages of journeymen printers be reduced, in consequence of the pre- sent war, This petition was presented to us for our signature, and, as may readily be sup- posed, we refused to have anything to do with the matter, and steadfastly oppose that reduc- tion of wages which these twin secession aboli- tion journals advocate. We conduet our business upon the principle of paying every man just what his labor is worth, and we do not believe that we are pay- ing our journeymen printers any more than they fairly earn. The price for composition is now thirty-five cents per thousand, and, when the labor of the compositor is considered, that sum does not appear any too great for the work. Indeed, so generally is this acknowledged, that the price has varied but very little for fifteen years, A compositor must possess great manual dexterity, and some intelligence, edu- cation and quickness. Ho works while others sleep, and turns night into day for his labor's sake. By the rate of wages now fixed he is ena- bled, if a good workman, to make a decent livelihood, and his daily earnings increase only in proportion to his increased proficiency in his business. ‘To attempt to reduce his wages now? or at any time, by a petition to the Typographi cal Society, is an interference with the rights of labor to which neither we nor the printer himself will submit. By this appeal to the Typographical Society the Times and Tribune managers attempt to cut down the wages, not only of their own em- ployes, but ®f ail the printers in the city, This is showing the white feather in their busi- ness with a vengeance. The war furnishes them not the slightest excuse for this movement, for they, more than any other journals in the country, have con- tributed to bring this war about, and, by their “Onward to Richmond” articles, have added many months to its duration. Last winter we urged them to support a compromise which would have settled the matter peaceably and forever, but they truculently refused, and succeeded at length in plunging this country into civil war, Finding the war, with its accom- paniments of bloodsh«d, ruin and commercial demoralization, inevitable, we urged the Times and Tribune to heartily support the administra- tion, and 80 make the war as short as possible. Instead of this they embarrassed the goverament in every possible way; advocated anarchy and George Law for Dictator; frantically urged our half-disciplined and ill-provided army into an enemy’s country; pushed our brave soldicrs within a fatal cul-de-sac of mask- ed batteries, and finally brought upon us the disastrous rout of Bull run— thus giving the rebels the substantial aid and comfort of an apparent victory, and adding millions to the cost and months to the duration of the war. Now that. in return for these fanatical outrages, they begin to feel the pres- sure of the times and have justly lost the confi- dence of the administration and the suport cf the public, it is as contemptible of them to at- tempt to retrieve thir pecunia y losses from the pockets of the journeymen printers as it was for them to attempt to place the biame of their fanatical conduct upon the President and the veteran General Scott. The printers ought to call a public meeting immediately, to ex- press their sentiments upon this ratting inter- ference with their rights and their wages. If the T'imes and Tribune cesive to retrench in the expenses of their type-setting, lot the two journals coalesce and form a combination organ of secession, abolition and anarchy. Py such a course they may be able to secure a small daily circulation, for the people would buy the mongrel sheet at half its present price, as a journalistic curiosity or “What Is It?’ just as they go to see Barnum’s “connecting link be- tiveen the negro and the brute creation.” This quotation, too, would answer admirably as a motto for the combination journal, and be an apt definition of its object and its character. Let Greeley, Raymond and Co. seriously consider this plan, and, in any event, leave the Typographical Society and the printers’ wages alone. - Tas Banks anp THE Treasury Notes.—We ave gratified to find that, in accordance with a suggestion of the Heratn, the associated banks of this city are now receiving subscriptions to the seven and three-tenths per cent Treasury notes. For the past few days the subscriptions have simply been received and transmitted by | the banks to the Sub-Treasury; but we under- stand that an arrangement bas been, or is about being made, under which the banks are to act independently in the matter, instead of being merely the intermediary of the Sub-Treasury. {n other words, the banks will themselves issue certificates of subscription, and when the Treasury notes are ready for delivery will de- liver them to the subscribers. This, besides being the natural course of business, was ren- dered necessary by the tremendous and daily increasing pressure on the Sub-Treasury for subscriptions to the loan, those of yesterday amounting to $800,000, It can hardly be said that any effort has been made, up to this time, to induce small capital. its to invest their money in these Treasury notes, The necessity of going to the Sub- Treasury, carrying the amount of their sub- scriptions in gold, going through the form of filling up printed applications and mailing them to the Secretary of the Treasury, with the cer- tainty of having to wait weeks before receiving an answer, acted as a drawback upon those jw ho would otherwise be prompt in coming to the pecuniary aid of the government. Bnt now | that the banks have stepped in and simplified the process, and that men can hand over ehecks | to the amount of their subscriptions, leaving the notes on deposit in the banks, we may naturally expect to see the popular subscriptions to the loan flow in to an extent that will prove to the government that its decpest and tirmest roots are in the patriotism and liberality of the people, Ler there, insidious emissaries of treason at work, discouraging our young men from voluntcering to fight the battles of the Union. These eris- saries should be hunted up and punished accord- ing to their deserts. Our police know where to look for them. | | detectives will | B enti, Arresets to Break up ma'8 Finenct AND Eveisu Auuunce—A Fuxa ov? Rowpvck at Anemcay Democracy.—On anothet page we publish a remarkable speech of Mr, Roebuck; member of Parliament for Sheffield, Ib was de- livered at a corporation banguet in thay city. It will be recollected by our readers that 1toe- buck, though a professed radical and Chartist, is remarkable for always voting with the tory side of the House, and against the whigs, among whom are to be found the liberal portion of Parliament. Roebuck is therefore a false liberal, x and bis policy has ever been to embarrass and defent every generous measure offered in Parlia, nent by the whigs. Faithful to his vocation, he how secks to overthrow the alliance of the French Emperor with the English government» and toexcite a war spirit in the popular mind against France, by representing Napoleon as menacing the very existence of England. It is true that he pretends to desire an intimate alliance belween the people of France and the people of England, while he aims deadly blow at the monarch of France. But this is too flimsy a veil to cover his true design, which is to subserve the wishes and purposes of the Coburg Cama- rilla in England, the German influence behind the throne, supposed to be more potent than the throue itself. During the Crimean war the most strenuous efforts were made by this fac- tion, the tool of the German Powers, to break up the entente cordiale between France and Eng- land, and to isolate France and form another coalition against Napoleon HL. like that which dethroned the elder Napoleon; and it so far succeeded then as to prevent the immediate realization ef the independence of Italy, though not the ultimate success of the cause. The old attempt is now revived, and Roebuck fairly ex- hibits the cloven foot by lauding despotic Aus- tria and denouncing*liberty-loving Hubgary and democratic America in the same breath. “The unspeakable audacity,” he says, “the overbear- ing insolence of Americans, had withdrawn from them all sympathy on the part of the peo- ple of England.” Whotber any nation has ever yet equalled the English in overbearing insolence we leave all disinterested persons to judge, It is evident that the cherished design of the British tory aristocracy is to destroy the principles of liberty in Europe and in America at one fell stroke. Hence they rejoice at the American rebellion, and the separation of North and South, which they pronounce eternal ; and they are plotting to take advantage of the cloud which over- shadows democracy on this side of the Atlantic in order to get rid of every vestige of liberal ideas in Europe. They may, however, rest as- sured,of one thing, and that is that they will be disappointed in their hopes thatthe American republic will prove afailure. And, furthermore» they may as well give up at once the fallacious notion that there is any antagonism between the French people and the Emperor of France—the most popular monarch who ever wielded the seeptre since the days of Charlemagne—and who is popular precisely because his ideas are in unison with the wishes of the peoplo over whom he rules. The votaries of despotism are building castles in the air, which have no more foundation than the baseless fabric of a vision, They hate and they fear Napoleon because, though nominally an Emperor, he is the he. reditary friend of well regulated liberty in Europe, and a terror to all crowned heads who seek to oppress weak nationalities or to swallow up their independence. Lovas, Kexrocry—Tuk Sxcession Cry ov Taxawion.—The secession consp'rators of Ken- tucky, a8 a last expedient, have iesorted to the ery of “Taxation! taxation! Look at Lincoln’s income tax of eight hundred thousand dollars, which you will be called upon to pay by re maining under his government!” But there are iwo sides to the medal. What is the figure on the other side? What will Kentucky have to pay in the way of direct taxes for the first year or Joss thar a year of the blessings of the dea- potism of Jeff. Davis? Three millions. And what in the way of forced contributions, seiz. ures and confiscations for the rebel armies, if once invited within her borders? Perhaps a hundred millions. And what from losses ia the shape of fugitive, contraband and confiscated negroes on the side of the Union armies? Perhaps another hundred millions, Such is the other side of the picture. The people of Kentucky have before them the disastrous consequences to Virginia for her folly in be- coming the mere beast of burthen of South Caro- lina and the other cotton States. They are ex- empt, for the present, while she is wasted by fire and sword. Kentucky will avoid her fatal example. To see the consequences of secession in Virginia is quite enough for Kentucky, set- ting all such things as patriotism and honor aside. Tak Arpany Recency at Syracvse.—Dean Richmond, Peter Cagger and the other despe- rate intriguers of the Albany Regency, will find it harder work to keep alive their miserable rump of the democratic party than was their treacherous enterprise of breaking up their party at Charleston and Baltimore. The peace programme of Cagger & Co. was chalked out too soon after the disastrous battle of Manassas: } Since they concluded, like the English cockney Russell, that the Union cause was lost, that cause has wonderfully recuperated and looks exceedingly bright. And so, if the tricky Re- gency do not fall back upon the prudent patri- otism of Tammany Hall, we shall have the pleasure of recording the last kick of the Re- gency. Wuo Cay Exetats ?—While a pretty sharp eye is kept by the government upon secession news-_ papers in the North, it appoars'that no measures of “coercien” have been resorted to against the rabid secession organs of Baltimore, where, of all places, one would suppose the necessities of the government and its very safety demand” ed the suppression of all treasonable publica tions, How are we to account for this remarka™ ble leniency to those organs of treazon in Balti- more? Who can e: Police Intelligence. Crazce or Ticket SwivptixG.—Daniel Byrnes, a clerk in the shipping office of Tapscott & Co.,No. 86 South treet, was arrested yesterday by Captain Hart, of the Twenty sixth precinct, charged with swindling Daniel MeCarty out of $75 by selling him spurious tickets for paseage on board the steamer City of Washington for himself and family. It appears that McCarty, after pro- curing the tickets on Saturday, proceeded with bis fa- mily on board the steamer; but on reaching Sandy Hook the captain informed bim that the t kets were worth. jess, and accordingly put him and his family ou board a steamtugand sent them back to this city.
