THE SITUATION, The news from Washington intimates an evident | hesitation on the part of the rebels to attack our forces; nothing transpirmg along the lines yester- Gay of any great moment, On Sunday night the rebels made a reconnoissance in force at the Chain Bridge, with perhaps the intention to force a pa Bage into Me found ey yland, if possible. They, however, venue too well guarded for their Purpose. Now earthworks have been thrown up by the rebels on the Leesburg road, about seven aiiles above the Chain Bridge. A fow trifling skirmishes occurred between the ets yesterday, and between eight and nine ; o'clock in the morning the rebels on Munson’s Hill amused themselves by shelling the Union troops at merston Cabinet, and generally well informed— states that twenty-two thousand five hundred Bri- tish troops will be despatched to Canada during the month of September, It is also asserted that Lord Monck is to succeed Sir Edmund Head as Governor General of that Province. The Lon- don Times advocates the absolute necessity of a cotton supply for England in an editorial article. It states that the government will aid the mer- chants and the capitalists in extending the culti- vation of the staplo in India, and winds up with the assurance that “the government will waive al! scruples when the prosperity of the country and the existence of millions areat stake.” Exagge- rated reports of the operations of the rebel priva- tecr Suinter in the West India waters had reached Great Britain, The London News avers that the war in America is conducted with the view of the abolition of slavery THE NEWS. The Africa, from Liverpool on the 3lstof August and Queenstown ou the Ist of September, was off Cape Race early yesterday morning on her way to New York. A summary of her news was tele- from St. Johns, Newfoundland, and is ed in the Heraty this morning. The ad- vices are seven days later than those reccived by the Arabia. Cotton was in active demand in Liverpool daring the week, and the market was buoyant atan ad- val of from one-sixtecrtth to one: hth of a penny per pound, at the close. ‘The stock on hand Was estimated at eight hundred and cighty-seven thousand bales, of which five hundred and fifty- eight thonsand were American deseziptions.

A large portion of the property will be taken to Wheeling to insure safety. Tn the Board of Aldermen, last evening, a pre- amble and sevies of resolutions were adopted com- plimenting the Hon. Joseph Holt for the patriotic stand he has taken in defence of the Union, and tendering to him the thanks of the city and the use of the Governor's room to receive his friends. A joint committee of both boards was appointed to wait on Mr. Holt, and the clerk was directed to send him an engrossed copy of the resolutions. A communication was received from the Mayor, en- closing a series of resolutions adopted by the Workingmen's Union, stating that great distress exists among them, and that they trust the city government will employ as many men on the pub- lie works as possible. The reading was suspended, and the matter referred toa special committee. The Comptroller reported that on the 3ist of August there was a balance of $417,292 36 inthe city treasury. The Comptroller also sent in a statement of receipts and expenditures on ac- count of the Creton water works extension and new reservoir, by which it appears that the bal- ance unexpended August 23, 1861, was $17,394 01. nother statement from the Comptroller, it ap-" ‘ara that the disbursements made to the families of volunteers in the several Senatorial districis from July 23 to August 31, 1861, was $103,693. ‘The number of families relieved was 9,077—adults> ; children, 12,892.

A letter from one of the United States Navy | ‘commanders at Hatteras Inlet to the Sceretary of | Une Navy gives some very important intelligence. It appears that ten regiments have been with- drawn from Virginia for the defence of the State of North Carolina. The wealthier portion of the in- babitaats have fled from the seaboard to the inte- rior, and the poorer classes are only waiting for the protection of the Union forces to declare their | full devotion and allegiance to the government of | the United States. : It is well understood at Fortress Monroe that | Beauregard must capture Washington, and that quickly, cy suffer a disruption of his army by the withdrawal of troops to protect the various rebel States from invasion. eneral Butler has been ordered by the War Department to report at Washington at once, and leit Boston yesterday morning for that purpose. | This implies an important movement in his depart: | ament.

No trace blockading squadron was visible. From Edisto, Captain Welch, with twenty-five other p was oners, conveyed to Charleston, South Carolina, ere the pe ple had just heard of the brilliant aBair at ort Hatteras, and were excited to such a piteh that violence was offered to the prisoners. The authorities had to hide the prisoners, and send them forward to Richmond at night, with a strong milltary guard, to prevent mob law being adiminis- tered. While in Richmond Capt. W. states they were treated in the most generous manner, allow- ed the freedom of the city, and permitted to con- verse with the Union prisoners. After delayi at Richmond for afew days, Capt. Welch and his party were transferred to Norfolk and set at liberty. Thomas Francis Meagher and Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson will address « Union mass meeting in Bridgeport, Conn., to be held on Saturday after- noon and evening next. Two New York State Conventions are announced to meet to-day in Syracuse. The National Union party are anxious to bring out a State ticket, and will probably do so with the name of Daniel S. Dickinson at the head of it. The German republi- cans will appear on the grgund to-day, and after organizing and talking over matters will await the action of the regular Republican State Convention, which will mect in Syracuse to-morrow. To-day a Union no-party State Convention will Le held in Madison, Wisconsin. In Ohio, Tot Wisconsin and Minnesota the democrats, like ser ble men, have quietly come down and consented to unite their forces with all the other par on the Union platform. The old partisan lines have been obliterated, for the nonce at least, and the old party hacks, forever we hope, have been thrown to the * he: rebels of Maryland will hold their State Convention in Baltimore to-day, to nominate candidates for Governor and other State offices.

As they appear in full in the Heraxp of to- day, they will repay perusal. Fort Lafayette is still being patronized by per- gons acting illegally for the rebels and against the government of the United States. his noted wa- fering place will soon become the Old Point of New York, without the comfort of the one in Vir- ginia. The news from Cairo is very important. It is reported that the rebel forces at Columbus, Ky., ander General Bishop Polk, have increased to thirteen regiments of infantry, six field batteries, a Biege battery, three battalions of cavalry, three pteamers and a gunboat. Joff. Thompson's rebels till remain at Belmont, Mo. Mail facilities have been restored to Paducah, Ky., that town being in the possession of the Union forces. A Union war meeting was held in Boston yester- day, and was attended by a very large number of persons of all parties. Faneuil Hall waa densely crowded long before the hour appointed for the commencement of the meeting. The Africa, off Cape Race yesterday morning, brings important news from Europe, dated on the D-t of September, seven days later than our ad- Ni by the Arabia. The London Globe, of the of August—a semi-officlal organ of the Pal- republicans, Breckinridge democrats, Dou and national Union men are among the sp announced. Resolutions have been introduced in the Legista- ture of Kentucky called ‘neutrality resolutions. They assert that the people decided at the polla to maintain a neutral position, and that ‘Kentucky will neither fight for or against either belligerent nor grant men or money to either.’ This is a false assumption, for the people of Kentucky decided by sixty-five thousand majority to maintain the Union, and elected a majority of fifty Union men to the House of Representatives over the neutrality seces- sionists, But these resolutions, like those passed by the New York democratic State Convention, show their design at the close. They declare that the South cannot be coerced by force of arms, and that the war ought to be immediately stopped. They then strip off the neutrality covering by stepping over into Missouri and denouncing the proclaina- tion of General Fremont. The resolutions were in- troduced by one of the hold-over secession Senators. The Washington Star prints an intercepted let- ter from a secessionist in this city to ex-Governor Smith, of Virginia, but suppresses the name of the writer, who is evidently a rebel and a spy. He says that himself and “Mr. Wood" will do all they cau to assist Extra Bijly’s son, who is now a “‘citi- zen’’ of Fort Lafayette. The name of the writer should not have been suppressed.

After the presentation of a number of routine pa- pers, which were referred to various committees, the Board adjourned till Monday next. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday afternoon—Benjamin kt. Win- throp in the chair—for the purpose of clecting three Pilot Commissioners. The following gentle- men were duly re-elected by ballot:—Robert Tay: lor, Charles H. Marshall and Elisha E., Morgan, The meeting adjourned immediately after the clec- tion. The foundation stone of Christ church, on the site of the old building, in Bedford avenue, Wil- liamsburg, was laid yesterday, by the rector, Rev. Alfred H. Partridge, when the Rev. Dr. Tyng, rector of St. George, New York, delivered an elo- quent and appropriate address. In the General Sessions yesterday, Henry Swift, who was charged with attempting to pass counter- feit $5 bills on the Catskill Bank, pleaded guilty to forgery in the fourth degree, and was sent to the State prison for two years. Charles Dumas, a sailor, indicted for an assault with intent to kill Heury Dyer, on the 19th of August, by stabbing him with a penknife, pleaded guilty to an assault with intent to do bedily harm, He made an un- provoke tuck on the same day upon another sailor. The Recorder, in sentencing Dumas to the State prison for three years, said that he was a dangerous fellow. James Kelly and Thomas Burns, young men, were tried and convicted of robbery in the first degree, they having acsaulted James W. McQuinn on the night of the 2d instant, in Chatham square, and robbed him of a pocketbook containing $22. Kelly was sent to the Sing Sing prison for ten years and one mouth, and Burns for ten years. . The examination of the thirteen seamen of the Liverpool packet Resolate, charged with an en- deavor to make a revolt, was commenced yester- day, before Commissioner J. B. Henry, and ad- journed until this morning. According to the City Inspector's report there were 438 deaths in the city during the past week— a decrease of 16 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 76 less than occurred during the corresponding week last year.

In the affair at Fort Hatteras our troops were exposed to unnecessary danger from the want of proper surf boats and other facilities of debarkation. At one time Colonel Max Weber and his two Adjutants were up to their necks in water, and had a narrow escape from drowning. It is not sufficient for a naval commander to be provided with the means of sbelling or battering down a fort. Troops have to be landed to secure the prize when captured, and their debarkation should be accomplished with as little risk as possible. To neglect the means and appliances necessary to that object is, therefore, to neglect one of the most import- ant conditions of success. In the present case we do not know who is responsible for the over- sight complained of—whether the Navy Depart- ment or the nayal officer incommand. We can only compare the slovenly manner in which our troops were put on shore at Hatteras with the brilliant debarkation of the army at Vera Cruz, during the Mexican war, which was effected vicinity are starting uy n T | Pitt mill started last Mond The Phenix (R. 1.)

The Emperor Alexander’s Letter on Our Southern Rebellion and Mr. Seward’s Reply. In publishing the admirable letter addressed, under the instructions of the Emperor Alexan- der, to his Minister at Washington, for the infor- mation of our government touching the attitude of Russia in regard to our Southern rebellion our newspaper cotemporaries of this city, with a single exception, accept the friendly assu- rances of his Imperial Majesty in good faith, and with an unqualified satisfaction. Our philosophers of the Tribune, however, seize the occasion to suggést that in whatever light the letter in question “ may be regarded, the acknowledgment of the Secretary of State ”’ (brief, abrupt and severely formal as the com- monest politeness would allow) “is dignified and proper; for that, if the intention of the Kmperor was merely to offer to the United States assurances of his céntinued friendship, it was proper gratefully to acknowledge such assurances ; and if his Majesty was moved by his advisers to offer counsel which was not per- tinent, inasmuch as it is based upon a misappre- hension of the circumstances of the case, the Secretary of State assumes a dignified position in ignoring the advice and accepting simply the assurances of distinguished consideration.” Mr. Seward’s short and unsatisfactory reply in the premises being thus explained (and we suspect that this is the true explanation), the question recurs, what was there in the Rwperor’s letier calculated thus to throw back our Secretary of Siate upon his dignity? Here is the trouble. The Emperor sugge: between the parties in this war of ours, cou tion and compromise, that sooner or later we must come to a settlement, and that “the Ame- rican nation would give a proof of high political wisdom in séeking in common such a scitiement before a useless effusion of blood,” with all its consequences, shall have ended in the exhaus- tion of both parties in this civil war, ead the! commercisl and political ruin, The Tribune ad- mils thal this would be very good advice to the rebels, bat contends that “such counsels ad- dressed to a government engaged in defending its own existence, and in asserting the supre- macy of its own laws, are signally out of place, | however kindly meunt, if the real facts ave ap- prehended,” and that these counsels “come with an ill grace from a sovereign whose reign is made illustrious by an act of beneficence to an oppressed 3’'—the emancipation of the serfs of his empire—inesmuch as it would seem that his Majesty, while liberating bis own peo- ple, does not hesitate to recommend to us a base surrender to the slave eligarchy of our vebel- lious States. This, then, is the point where Mr. Seward, as the fepresentative of our government, fecls called upon to fall back upon his dignity, and to dismiss the Russian Minister with the ex- tremest brevity of politeness. We think, how- ever, that in this matter Mr. Seward has neg- lected a golden opportunity for a reply to the Czav which might have carricd conviction to every part of the civilized world of the justice necessity and ultimate success of this war of ours for the integrity of the Union. Apart from this consideration, it was the duty of Mr. Sew- ard not to be offended at the misapprehensions of the Russian government, but to set to work and correct them. American insgitutions, par- ties, politics and revolutionary parexysms not very well understued in Russia, and there was a fine chance for an official exposition w: would have been thankfully accepted at St. Pe- tersburg. With reference to our slavery question, his Imperial Majesty very properly ignored it. There is no similitude between Russian serfdom and our Southern institution of slavery. In the one case the serfs belong to the same race ag their masters, and thus the two classes may be readily advanced to the same general footing of social and political equality. In the other case, mankind have had sufficient experience to see that the Caucasian and the African caunot be intermingled to any extent upon a footing of equality witheut the most disastrous consequences to the community attempting the experiment. But cnough upon this point. Our single ob- ject in recurring to this admirable letter from the Czar was to show the mistake committed by Mr. Seward in discarding the opportunity thus offered for an instructive and conclusive exposi- tion for the iaformation of his Imperial Majesty of the causes and elements involved in this re- hellion of our so-called Confederate States. We hope that a reconsideration of the case will still induce our Secretary of State to submit a reply to the Russian Minister worthy the occasion and the subject. Meantime, we have no doubt that England will fully comprehend the significant import of the Russian Emperor's letter of sym- pathy for the cause of our Union, although Mr. Seward has failed to recognise in it anything more than a formal and unmeaning diplomatic bulletin, Growunp asp Lorry Tumpiings 1x Pourrics.— We publish in another column the material parts of the report of the disappointed and wrathy Mozart delegation, who were shut out of the late Syracuse conventicle by Dean Rich- mond and Peter Cagger—a streak of fat and a streak of lean—to make room for old Tamma- ny, and who have returned to this city full of dire resolves and determinations regarding their future course. Only read our report of the meeting and the report of the delegates. From present indications we should not be at all sm- prised if the discomfited and indignant Mozart democracy would club together with Thurlow Weed and his conservative republicans, and so extinguish Tammany and Greeley with one | blow, support Abe Lincoln and his adminis tion, and go in strong for the war., But what will Ben. Wood and his Daily News do then, poor things? Will they secede, or will they trot after the Mozart democracy? It will be a curious and a funny spectacle to see Ben. Wood and *the famous nineteen News editors dancing Jim Crow and throwing up their caps for Abe Lincoln and the war. But these are revolutionary times, and truth is often stranger than fiction. Within a day or two, also, two conventions assemble at Syracuse—that of the last new political conglomeratiorfthe Union pariy, and that of Thurlow Weed’s conservatives. Poor Greeley has no leading place in either of these gatherings. Ifhe comes in at all it musi be by the back door, and he will certainly be kicked out at the back door if he does notybehave him- self rightly. Still the Mozart democracy hold the balance of power, both in this city and throughout the State, between the opposing | factions, and may turn the e¥ection by effecting a union with Thurlow Weel. Nothing skould surprise us in such revoluvionary times as these, | aud we may fad Fervando Wood and Joba EW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1861. Cochrane alighthyg on their feet after the Breatest leap from\ the greatest height yet re- corded. —— Reov.ation ov Tag PReas my WestcHEsTer County.—In another po +of this day’s Hurap we publish a preseufinent of the Grand Jury of Westchester eo..ity, calling the at- tention of the magistracy, as well as of the District Attorney a the gounty, to the following journals:—The Yonkers Herald, the Highland Democrat and i\e Eastern State Jownal--in order to their a'ppression in the event of their continu'ng their course after this admonition; and the Grand Jury further- more invoke the interposition of the authority of the United States Disiriet Attorn ey for the Southern District of New York to prevent te circulation in Westchester county of the two German papers of New York city, the Stuats Zeitung and National Zeitung, if, after this pub- lic notice of their evil course, they should per- sist in thus giving aid and comfort to the ene- mies of the government. re ‘This is following the example of the Grand Jury of New York; and we perceive that the New York Tribune of yesterday, under the caption of “The Rebellious Press,” endorses the course of the Westchester Grand Jury, and says:—“The legal power-to suppress a journal upholding those who are striving by force of arms to subvert (he government is as unquestionable as the right to suppress obscene publications dan- gerous lo the decency and good morals of the community. It is a question, not of the liberty but of the license of the press, and a regard for the Hberties of the people imperatively calls for the exercise of a wholesome restraint.” These observations are just, and we concur in the propriety of every one, and, including “the right to suppress obscene publications danger- ous to the decency and good morals of the com- munity,” en admonition tothe “litile villain” of the We hold that no government struggling for its existence could tolerate jour- | nals giving aid and comfort to the enemy. In time of pence the fights of the press are de- termined by the constitution and the laws. In time of war the laws of war prevail, and ne- cessarily put a stop to hostile publications cal- culated to prevent enlistment and to weaken the hands of the government. These papers ought to be suppressed if they will not suppress their treason, To do so is necessary in order to prevent the action of mobs and a reign of anarchy, We entirely agree with the Tribune. But we think the Tribune itself ought to be included in the list, for no paper except the New York Times has done so much to bring about the terrible state ef things in which the whole coun- try is now involved. They are the originators of the trouble, while the journals enumerated by the Westchester presentment are only aiders and abettors. Let not fish, therefore, be made of one class of journals and flesh of another ¢ The Tribune and the Times, the Inde- pendent, the Liberator, the Anti-Slavery Standard, and all jouraals of the same stripe, ought to be presented by the Grand Jury, not only as being the first instigators to the disunion treason, and the strenuous opposers of all compromises which would have healed the breach and prevented the outbursting of civil war, but as being at this hour the enemies of the Union and of the administration, doing their worst to render the war unpepular and to bring the government into contempt. Their course is most embar- rassing to the President and his Cabinct, and calculaied {to prevent the restoration of peace when the legilimate objects of the war are at- tained. The President and a majority of the Cab‘net have thrown to the winds the abolition theories of the Tribune and Times, and only seek to re-establish the Union on the basis of the constitution and the laws. Hence these journals are insidiously stabbing them and try- ing to defeat their purpose. Let the District Attorney, therefore, or the United States Mar- shal exeeute justice upon the Tribune and Times, as well as upon those other treasonable sheets of the eounties of Westchester and New York. What is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander. Let the authorities discharge their duty without fear, favor or affection. S. PRopaBie ARRIVAL oF GaRiBaLpl To Jom THE Fepexst. Anmy.—From the faets stated yester- day in connection with the correspondence that lus taken place between our government and di, a confident expectation is entertain- ed that we shall soon see arrive among us the liberator of Italy. The proelamation of Gen. Fremont will exercise a powerful influence in deciding his acceptance of the President's offer. Although he wil! not sce In it, as_ the rabid ex- tremists of both sections profess to do, a step towards the abolition of slavery, and the desti- tution of the South of its rights of property, it will sufficiently interest his feelings to induce him to cast the weight of his influence and presence on our side. He is a man of practical views, thongh a strong opponent ef slave insti- tutions, and his long residence in this country has taught bim the differenee between the pseudo philanthropy of the Northern abolition- isis and the common sense humanity of the slave owners towards their negroes. In the stripping of slavery of its political influenee, which is ell that the Fremont proclamation does, he will find sufficient to enlist his sympathies and ser- sin ‘behalf of the North. A republic in ich the slave influence predominates is to him naturally an anomaly; and the proclama- tion of General Fremont, in reducing the latter to ils properdimits and destroying its political | character, will afford him the assurance that it will never again be allowed to endanger tho stability of our institutions. vice 's Liner, Surr—Onr telegraphic advices inform us that the libel suit brought by Speaker Littlejohn against Massa Greeley, will shortly come to trial at Pulaski, Oswego gounty. George Law, Thurlow Weed and other promi- nent members of the Albany lobby have: been subponaed, and no doubt the tria\ will show up the lobby corruption in all its length, breadth and depth. We hope’that Greeley will push the matter through, giwe the city railroad and other lobby schemes a thorough overhanl- ing, and be acquitted byrihe jury in the case. We have a fellow feeling “for him in this matter, for one of the lobbyists has eommenced a suit against us, and ina short dime we shall give a thorough exposition fof the. whole shoddy busi- sand voters, and if they combine they can con- trol these elections. These are revolutionary times in party politics, and those who have great interests at stake should be moving. We expect to have @ taxpayer's party this fal which shall so influence the ¢lections as to pro- tect us from all elioddy politicians of every stripe. But let the taxpayers be stirring Tue Pror ro Cuear vHe PRinrens—Canvow OF THE TriBUNE IN ConTEANT Wira THe Totes,— The plot of the Tines and Tribune to reduce the wages of the compositors of this city is de- feated for the present. On Saturday evening the Typographical Societ y helda meeting, and the indignant members were ready to vote down the proposition of Greeley, Raymond & Co. had it been presented to them. Owing to the indica- tions of the rising storm, the petition was kept back till @ more convenient season, But ist not the compositors of New York imagine that they are done with the attempt to reduce thelr bread and butter, and put them on short allowanee, The proprietors of the Tribune and Timer will return to the charge when the printers are’ off their guard. It is a necessity with them. They must do it, or become bankrupt, or amalgarante the two concerns, The Tribune is manly, sad tells the truth. It says:—*Now tbat the trade is depressed, and the cost of living diminished, we think there should be a cor- responding reduction (in the priater’s scale of prices) and we trust one will be effected.” This is candid. “The trado is depressed,” and’so are all other trades, The Tribune feels it in its bones: its advertising is so reduced that it can no longer afford to pay the printers their legitimate prices, Bat what says the dishonest trickster of the Times? Hear him:— Our cash receipts have been $50,000: more this your than they were last, up (o the samo time. AI through the duiest of the suinmer months we have had @ balanoe of from $15,000 to $20,000 in the bani, We bave no notes afleat which we are not prepared to cash em presonta- tion. If the “little villain” has made se much more money this year than last, why does he enter into a combination with Greeley to reduce the prices of the printers, and why does he not pay the hackman for the carriage he broke im running away from Buil run? If it be-trae that he has always a balance of from. $15,000 te $20,000 in the bank, why has he-any notes oat We never have any out, nor would he need te have any out with such a balance to-hisaccouat in the bank. If there is a shadow of truth in the statement it consists im the fact that one of the partners im the concern is a stockjobber in Wall street, and he may have a balance of fifteem or twenty thousand dollars in fancy stocks; bet such is the fluctuation of the market in these articles that next week not only may that ba- lance be swept away by the tide of events, but the balance be placed: $100,000 on the other side by a sort of Flemish account. The trath is that both the 7'imes: and the Tritvene ave now suffering for what they have themselves done. They are reaping the fruite of their own conduct. They did their utmost to prevent any compromise being adopted im Congress last fall, and:labored hard to baffle every attempt at reconciliation when it was easy to have achieved it.. They are now paying the penalty of their folly in the loss of busincsa; and, by the most infamous and mean attompt ever made, they seek to throw the: burden of their loss upon innocent men, and .to reduce the prices of the whole: body of the printers of New York 1m order that the Times and the Tribine may be saved from bankrupto§ by thus swindling the compositors out of a portion of their hard earnings. OPENING OF THe PALL Season—CINDERELLA: at Tam Wenn JARDEN.—The fall season was Inwugurated last evening, at the Wintor Garden, and: tho public—fresh: from: the country and the watering places; full of confidence in the overninent and of hope of the speedy termination of our civil war; eager for amusements, after the long summor fast—fairly overcrowded the house , in spite of ho bad wea- ther, with a most brilliantiaudience.
