The news from Washington reports evorything quiet, except in the active movements at the Navy Yard, &c. The reported proclamation of the Cap- tain General of Cuba is supposed by the United States government and Spanish representative to be a fabrication. It is reported via Charleston, 8. C., that Generay Beauregard and three other prominent rebels were at Munson’s Hill very recently. It is stated that General Beauregard, to induce the soldiers from the Gulf States to remain with him, has promised to give the Union'troops battle before the 20th inst., and also to attack Washington by some other way than by the fortifications in front. The Richmond Correspondent of the Charleston Merewry says that General Hardee (rebel), has been ordered to the army of the Potomac. The rebel journals of Rich- mond report a strong advance of the rebel forces towards Washington on or about the 5th inst. ‘These are doubtless the same troops who disap- peared so suddenly during the night, and were ext discovered on the road back to Manassas. The particulars of the battle at Carnifex Ferry, detween General Rosecrans’ troops and General Floyd's rebels have reached this city, and will be found greatly interesting. The campaign in Western Virginia is likely to be far more important than was at first imagined, and the powerful check that General Lee sustained from General Reynolds may have tho effect of demoralizing a great por- tion of the rebel army, as s0 much was expected from him by_officers, men and civilians. The prognostications and anticipations of the rebel journals relative to the successes of their generals in their various military positions in Western Virginia, have been somewhat upset by the actual state of affairs there. According to their newspaper accounts, they intended that the Kanawha Valley and the Pan Handle should once more be in possession of the rebel forces, and General Roseerans and his troops entirely annihilated. How great must be their disappoint- ment when the real facts come to their knowledge. Instead of Lee, Floyd, Wise and Chapman sur- rounding Rosecrans and Cox, it appears more likely that these two latter generals are in full chase of at least three out of the four nained rebels, while their chief has received a blow far too heavy to be easily recovered from. From Western Missouri the news has a brighter appearance. General Sturgis took military Possession of St. Joseph on Friday last. His com- mand at that time consisted of one regiment of infantry, two companies of cavalry, and one of artillory, but has since been greatly reinforced. With these he will doubtless be able to hold the city against the rebels, flve thousand of whom rode out of the town previous to the entrance of tho Union troops. Reports, not yet confirmed, state that a battle wasefought at Lexingtonon the 16th, resulting in the defeat and capture of nearly+ the whole of Martin Green's rebels. Other reports state that Lexington has been captured by Gene- | ral Price. The bridge burning vandalism still continues in some parts of the State. Another locomotive was precipitated into a stream a few days since, causing the death of an engineer. These bridge burning miscreants are being eagerly looked after by the Union, troops, and will be promptly pinished when caught. A urtsville askirmish between the Union Home Guards and the rebels took place recently, the latter being routed with over ten killed, and the Guards captm” | ing several horses. A further report about Gen- cral Price locates him, with 11,000 men, at Sedalia | on the 11th inst., where he joined General Parsons, who had under him 2,500 men and sixteen pieces | of artillery. Other accounts say that General Price and his forces left "? arr ensburg on the bight of the 11th for Lexington, | From Kentucky the intelligence is conflicting. | The reports via St. Louis state that the rebels had | »vacuated Columbus. This statement, however, oes not harmonize with the declavation of Gene- cals Polk and Zollicoffer that the occupation of the state was a military necessity, and their positions | hould be held at all or any cost.

From Hatteras Inlet the news is still favorable, The General in command has been authorized to accept the services of a regiment of North Caro- lina volunteers, a large number of men having already offered their services, THE NEWS. We understand that United States District At- torney E. Delafield Smith has received instructions from the government to inquire into the condition and circumstances of the rebel prisoners at Port Lafayette, and to investigate thorouglily the exact nature ofthe charges against them. ‘The prisoner who are inthe fort have been committed upon in- formation, and have not had an examination. We are desired by the candidate of the demo, cratic party in the city of Newark to say that, as to the words imputed to have been used by him in adespatch from Newark in the evening papers of yesterday, they are unconditionally and entirely false. On the contrary, his opinions and sym- pathies are entirely with the government in prose- cuting the war with the utmost vigor and in main- taining the integrity of the Union. The population of Fort Lafayette is every day becoming more dense. On Monday afternoon the United States Deputy Marshal of Newark, N.J., proceeded to Plainfield, under instructions of the United States District Attorney at Trenton, and ar- rested a man named Daniel Corey for having ex- pressed on various occasions secession ideas. The order for the arrest came direct from Wm. H. Seward. On being arrested the accused got ve nervous, and seemed at @ loss for something to say in his own vindication. As soon as he recovered his presence of mind he stated that he never medi- tated anything wrong against the government, and that he believed his arrest had been effected through the agency of persons who entertained a vindictive spirit towards him. The prisoner was conveyed to Fort Lafayette and placed in as com- fortable quarters as could be afforded him under the circumstances, Of the government loan not less than thirty-five millions of dollars in gold have been already paid in by the people. Our latest accounts from Rich- mond, which are to the 11th ., tell us that six hogsheads of tobacco have been paidin onaccountor the Confederate loan, but that more was expected.

The work of enlistment in this State has gone on quite briskly for a number of days past, and the various regiments are filling up very fast. We have now an infantry regiment in Buffalo, one at Og- densburg, one at Oswego, one at Westfield, Chau” tauqua county, one at Kingston, one at Auburn, one at Rechester, one at Saratoga, one at Syra- cuse, one at Genesee, one at Cortland village, three at Albany and two at Elmira, besides those forming in the neighborhood of this city. There are more than twenty regiments now forming in the State, which have an aggregate of nine thou- sand men mustered. ‘The state prisoners recently arrested in Balti- more, consisting of the Mayor, twelve members of the Maryland Legislature, and two editors of news- papers, have been taken from Fort McHenry to Fortress Monroe. They will occupy, as soon as it can be made ready, a building called Carroll Hall, which is located but a short distance from the main entrance to the fortress. The dragooning business is now in full operation in the Legislature of Kentucky. Persons not familiar with the work can become thoroughly posted by glancing at the proceedings of the two houses. Twenty times each day the secession members declare that the people of Kentucky have on three different occasions voted to main- tain the neutrality doctrine, when the facts are directly the reverse. Three times have the peoplé voted by majorities ranging from fifty-seven thou- sand to sixty-three thousand to sustain the Union. Since the first meeting of the Legislature not less than,thirty resolutions have been introduced into the two houses directing the withdrawal from the State of the Union, as well as the rebel troops; and we find by the proceedings of the 12th inst, that four resolutions of this kind were introduced in one day, which is not much above tho average. Thus far they have all been voted down, and others passed ordering the secession invaders to leave. A secession paper, called the Gazette, printed in Franklin county, N. Y., has been denied the use of | the mails. The trotting horse Bay Dick, belonging to a | rebel in Richmond, was seized under the Contisca- tion act, in Baltimore, on the 14th inst. ‘The Democratic State Convention of Massachu- setts will be held to-day in Worcester. The Quebec (Canada) Mercury wishes the South to persevere in its gourse, in order to “break up the hitherto boastful Union; and it desires that England and France may recognise the bogus con- federacy as the speedicet way of destroying the governinent. After the work omplished, that paper thinks that England will, ina little time, by productions of cotton in India, make herself inde- pendent of the Southern States in regard to that staple, and that, it furthcr says, would lead to the emancipation of the slaves, and the final over- throw of bothsections. Vandalism is reviving in Canada. Dates from Venezuela are to August 29, and the news from the capital is quite important. Dr. Gual, the Acting President and Dictator, had been ousted by the people, and General Paez installed in his place as military and civil ohief, The committee appointed to amend the City Charter met yesterday afternoon in the chamber of the Board of Councilmen, The Clerk of the Common Council was directed to have copies of the ety charter printed for the use of the members. The Committee on Permanent Organization was ordered to inquire whether the members who had not attended the meetings of the committee had refused to serve altogether, and if so to'report at the next meeting of the committee, on Saturday next, at four o'clock.

The New Haven (Conn.) Journal of the 17th of September announces that United States Marshal arr, of that city, under orders from W; ton, | arrested Moses J. Stannard, a substantial citizen of Madison, at his residence, on Monday morning, and took him to Fort Lafayette as a prisoner of State. He has been suspected of secession sympa- thies, but we are not informed what Pp charge hangs over him. without resistance. The first of a series of lectures upon “Gunshot articular The arrest was effected theatre of the New York Medical College by Vr0- fessor Raphael, The audience was not quite so large as that present on the previous day, at the | lecture on ‘‘Amputations,” by Dr. Carnochan; but there is little doubt, from the lucid and inte: manner in which this important subject was t ed inthe opening lecture, that a large atten of medical students, civil and military, may be ex- pected at the remainder of the series, ‘The cotion market was comparatively quiet yesterday. Holders wore not pressing sales, while spinners were not in the market. ‘The sales were confined to about 300 a 400 bales, in small Jots, which afforded no reliable basis of quotations, Prices depended upon the size of lois, tho quality and terms.

Corn was firmer and active for Eastern ports and for export. Pork was steady, with sales of moss at $1425 a $14 873¢ to $14 50 for full weight bbls., closing at $14 37 a $14 60, and prime at $9 75 2 $10. Sugars wore firm, but owing to the rain storm were less active, The sales embraced about 600 hhds., 142 boxes, and 900 hhds, melado, and. 1,888 bags, on terma stated in auother column. Coffee was firm; Rio was quiet; 1,700 mats Jaya were sold at 200, ‘The stock in this market comprised 109,569 bags Rio and of all kinds (Rio included) 145,585 bags. Freights wero firmer.

The developements of each successive stage of the great crisis through which the United States is passing demonstrate fully that the I’ sident, in proportion to his continually incre: ing experience in affairs of State, is rising to the position and dignity of one of the most firm, enlightened-and comprehensive statesmen that the country has ever produced. THe seems in- tuitively to understand every one of the e ments of evil, by which the integrity of the re- public has been undermined, during the last thirty years, and to be able to apply an efficient remedy for them all. The bold and energetic manner in which secession newspapers have been suppressed; the decision that has been shown in imprisoning rebels at Fort Lafayette, irrespective of rank, popularity or antecedents; the enlarged views that have been manifested in the reorganization of our armies on the Poto- mac, in IMinois, Missouri and Eastern Virginia} as well as the skill and strategic talent that have been manifested in the recent sea expedi- tion to Cape Hatteras, betoken a mind and con- science alive to the fearful exigencies of the epoch, and full of resolve that the nation shall be restored to its pristine grandeur and pros- perity. But while contending, in battle array, with the insane faction of nigger driyers at the South, and putting down with the strong hand their murderous and suicidal treason, Mr. Lin- coln has been equally mindful that the original cause of evil began with the machinations of fanatical nigger worshippers at the North, and that to them are mainly owing eur present troubles. The moderate and effective rebuke contained in his letter to Major General Fre- mont 1s eminently worthy of admiration, both for the dignified and courteous language in which it is couched, and the death blow it strikes at all attempts of badly advised local com- manders to overstep the legitimate sphere of their military duties, and inaugurate a govern" mental policy, concerning a matter on which the gravest results may hinge, and which the President alone has the right to indicate. The reunion of the States, temporarily dissevered by insurrectionary treason, cannot be established by force of arms alone. In ad- dition to the triumphant advance of our troops by sea and on land, it is indispensable that the good and glorious old constitution, with all of its provisions, and guarantees, should remain embalmed in the respect of the people, and that it should be the pole star towards which all thoughts will point, when the moment shall have come for negotiating a cessation of the un- fortunate strife that now rends the entrails of the republic, As it came down to us from Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and their con- temporaries, it must be preserved and clearly marked as the basis of the peace which the war is intended to bring about. The greatest ene- mies of the Union and constitution are the se- cessionists of the South and the abolitionists of the North—the political nigger drivers who culminated their treasonable intrigues with the bombardment of Fort Sumiéer, and the nigger worshippers who have endcayored to make tho struggle that has commenced a crusade against Southern institutions, ia which oceans of blood should be shed to gratify the malice und folly of the school of which Garrison, Greeley, Gerrit Smith, Wendell Phillips and others are the pro- minent representatives. The recent acts and letters of the President of the United States, show that he and his advisers are equal to the task of stretching out the hand which shall effectually crush the efforts of both of these classes of factionists, and that they are not more resolved to drive the armies of Beauregard, Lee and Johnston out of Virginia, than to check efforts similar to those into which General Fre- moat was lately beguiled by perfidious abolition counsellors, The people of the United States endorse every one of the recent acts of Mr. Lincoln, as well in shutting up secession newspaper offices, as in depriving active sympathizers with rebel- lion of their liberty by enclosing them within the walls of federal fortresses, When the proper time, however, shall have arrived popular senti- ment will demand another step forward, and insist that those who originated the discord that prevails between the States; who for years de clared that the “ constitution was a league with hell and a coveaant with death;” and who have preached a division of the Union into two con. federacies with far more pertinacity and venom than any of the school of Davis, Slidell, Ben jamin and Yancey should be meted out their deserts. Such journals as the Anti-Slavery Standard, the Tribune, Boston Liberator, Times, Independent and Post have done more to ob- struct the progress of this patriotic war than all other instrumentalities put together. They have not only stimulated their readers to a vio- lation of the constitution on the subject of slave property; but have endeavored, by every pos- sible device, to foment discontent against the administration and its agents. They ought to be silenced in the same manner as the secession newspapers have been silenced, and we have no doubt that the closing up of their offices will be the ultimate sequel of the measures which the President is so wisely adopting to secure the well being of the country, He is meeting tho crisis nobly, and the hearts of the people are with him in his determined efforts to put down both secession and anti-slavery treason, 7 EDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, bein, The New York Werald in England. The three managers of the New York Times— the “little villain,” the jobbing banker, and the dandy stockjubber—and of a few other Journals. in this country, never lose an opportunity to depreciate and belie the character of the Heraro, Latterly, these small- fry literary chaps, finding that their own un- supported assertions have no weight whatever with the public, have taken to quoting the ef- fusions of fourth-rate English litlerateurs from obscure English journals ana magazines, as if these represented English opinion or expressed English sentiment in regard to the Heratp and its course. Of just this character is an attack upon us, written bya Bohemian named Hughes, and published in Macmillan’s Magazine—a periodical of which nine hundred and ninety- nine people out of a thousand, either in this country or England, never cven heard the name. Hughes writes an article about the war, in which he takes occasion to say that the New York Heracp is “a notoriously Southern paper, and only restrains its Southern sympathies now because it fears mobbing.” This Bohemian is onty ignorant and misinformed, and the Times, which originated both the lies he repeats, is only requoting itself when it repub- lishes Hughes’ letter; for Hughes knows nothing whatever of this country or its journals, ex- cept what he reads or is told by American Bohemians and gipsies. But the assertions themselves are most ridicu- lous trash. So far from the Henap being a Southern paper, it has always and consistently advocated the Union cause. It first demon- strated that secession was revolution; first called upon Buchanan to put down this rebellion by force; first showed that the Southern forts must be retaken from the Confederates ; first dis- covered and defeated the conspiracy to take Washington; first called Scott, Wool and one hundred thousand men to the capital; first de manded that President Lincoln should act, and not adopt a do-nothing policy. All this was dono by the Heranp before the fall of Fort Sumter; and the series of articles which we have epitomized, began before Lincoln’s clection, and extended through January, February and March last, and, indeed, has never been discontinued. All this while the Times was quarrelling about of- fices, advertising abolition and anarchy, threat- ening to depose Lincoln and make Law Dicta- tor, and in every way obstructing and embar- rassing the government. That we preferred compromise te war, while compromise was pos- sible, only proves that we had more sense and prescience than those chaps of the Z'imes, who wasted the time when the Southern States might have been peaceably rechimed in assur- ing the North that the South was not in earnest and would never fight, and that we should have no war, panie, commercial disaster or anything of the kind. Was the Heratp or the Zimes right? Which course, pray, is the more credit- able? As one base coin detects another, so this lie about our Southern sympathy nails that about our being coerced by a mob; and, in addi- tion to the repeated exposes we have made of that roorback, we need only ask why a mob should coerce a Union journal such as the He- Rap has always been? and declare that we never wore coerced by a mob or by any man whatever. The whole story was invented by the Times and its twin abolition organs asa vent for jealousy, rivalry and spite. When the vast daily circulation, influence and advertising patronage of the Heratp are compared with those of the Times and its kin, the motive of such canards is obvious, Nor is the reason less plain why a portion of the English press adopt and republish—for re- publication in this country again—the libels started by abolition journals in regard to the Heratp, We first unmasked and then spiked the battery which English aristocrats were pre- paring against this country and its liberties. We warned our people again:t and thus prevented, the interference of England in favor of the Southern confederacy. We notified the English government and aristocracy that we were pre- pared to resent the insults they seemed disposed to offer us, and have kept England in abey- ance, thus far, on the principle that he who is prepared for an attack is seldom exposed to one. We pointed out the weak points at which we could assail England, even in our present crippled condi- tion, and take more thaa vengeance for any in- jury she could do us. The English govern- ment—not the people—is always cowardly; and, while it refrains from openly attacking the United. States, it abuses, belies and misrepre- sents us, even now, through its London Times and other organs, Of course the Heratp comes in for the greatest share of this abuse. In our warnings we touched nerves of England which made the aristocracy tremble with a fear almost as great as that which seizes them when Napo- leon builds a new ship or raises a new regiment of Zouaves. Correspondents here are, there- fore, instructed to write us down, and obscure journals here are hunted over for articles against us for republication in England. Every word of this abuse isa new proof of the patriotism of the Heratp, If it were not so thoroughly Amerizan it would not be so constantly at- tacked in English journals. Now, we again warn the English journals and the English government that their present course towards this country, if persisted in, will result in the very evils they most dread. The English people do not approve of their course now, and that disapprobation will be mani fested by and by, They may send thousands of troops to Canada; but Canada may be an nexed, nevertheless, and, in spite of a British fleet on this coast, British commerce is still open tous, At the close of the Mexican war we had about forty thousand men trained to arms, and not the combined forces of England, France, Spain, Mexico and the Central American States could prevent these men organizing and at- tempting filibustering expeditions to Cuba, Nicaragua and Mexico; and only the strong arm of the federal government, after a ten years struggle, succeeded, at last, in restrain- ing these forty thousand soldiers, who were out of employ and eager for afight. Ina year or two our civil war will be over, the Union will be stronger than ever, and we shall then have, North and South, four or five hundred thousand veteran soldiers, accustomed to war and following it for a livelihood, who will be looking around for some foe to strike. Among them will be many Irish, already sufficiently ag- gravated against the English government. Now, what will prevent these men from selecting England as their first foe, and revenging the in- sults and contumely which the English govern- ment and its organs are lavishing upon us in this hour of our distress, when real sympathy would be most welcome and grateful? Abuse, misrepreseptation, announcements that no scru- ples shall sta. ia tho wa, ply, the sending or “reat arme, intimidate, a people like the Amerieans, and by, perhaps. Americans are capital friends, but very bad and not very weak ene- mies, Mr. Ball; and we can safely refer to your past experience with this country for proofs of both these assertions. Incenprary Parsons.—The discourse delivered by Dr. Cheever, at the Church of the Puritans, on Sunday last, is exciting a great deal of in- dignant commentary. It is asked whether the government, which is compelled for its own safety to oppose limits to the abuse of the right of free discussion in the press, will tolerate unbounded license in the pulpit. Tn no sense of the word could the discourse to which we refer be considered a sermon. It was from beginning to end a political tirade’ and that of the most violent and inflammatory kind. It had not even a moral bearing in the character of its facts. Replete with falsehoods and misrepresentations, it is doubly dangerous from its quasi religious complexion and un" serupulous perversion of the truth. The preacher told his hearers that the reason the sympathies of Great Britain were not enlist- ed on the side of the North was because the latter was warring for the defence of her mate- rial interests, and not for the abolition of slavery; were she to proclaim unconditional emancipation, England would be cordially with her. This is not the fact; itis very far, even, from a semblance of truth. For the last thirty years England has been endeavoring to stir up the elements of internal strife in this country, under the cloak of a psewlo-philanthropy. Her concern for the condition of the slave was merely a hypocritical pretext to advance the political object which she had in view—namely, the division of the American confederation, The proof that this was so is to be found in her conduct on the breaking out of the rebellion. The news of that event changed in an instant all her pretended sympathy with the negro and arrayed it on the side of the slave owner. It sufficed that her cotton supply was endangered at once to convert her from the creed which she had for years been so loudly professing to a covert, but not the Jess cordial, support of the new slave empire founded by Jeff. Davis and his associates, Ofa similar untruthful character are the other as- sertions made by the reverend gentleman. “Slavery,” he says, “is held to be right in those who are faithful in their allegiance, and only wrong on the part of those in rebellion.” No- thing can be more grossly false than this state- ment. Philanthropical considerations have not been allowed to exercise the least weight in the decision of the questions arising out of the dis- posal of slave property by the government. They have been decided exclusively on the constitutional and legal principlesinvolved; and the recent action of the President in modifying the Fremont proclamation, although it did not outstep those principles, is sufficient evidence that the administration is determined to guard against any misconstruction of their policy in this regard. After the utterance of such senti- ments the transition to broad treason was of course easy. “The military proclamation of the Secretary of War,” added the preacher, “ is a military usurpation without the pretence or the form of excuse of military necessity.” Now we would put it to the authorities whether there is anything in the language that has been used by the secessionist editors who have sent to prison which surpasses the above in its unfair perversion of the acts of the govern- ment and in its general violence? Are such sentiments the less dangerous because they are uttered in a church and by a malcontent in ca- nonical garb? It must not be forgotten that we are in the midst of a tremendous rebellion, and that if we do not put it down it will put us down. To deal leniently with reverend incen- diaries like Cheever and Beecher at such a time is to imperil our own safety. Away, then, with all false delicacy in the treatment of those who, to gratify their fanatical longings, would destroy the government. Asa beginning, let the mad priest of the Puritans be sent to keep company at Fort Lafayette with that rival fire- brand of sedition, the“Abbe McMaster. nda ana Tae Troverg Berwken THE Brams and GeveraL Freatont iv Missovrt—The>public have become very much interested, and, natu- rally, very anxious; to know the secret of the present extraordinary. quarrel between the Blairs and General Fremont, in reference to his managément of this war as the United States military head over the department of the State of Missouri, &c. Our special telegraphic ad- vices from Washington of this morning give us an insight into this mysterious business. President Lincoln has officially promulgated the important fact that he does not approve the late emancipation proclamation of General Fré- mont, and has instructed that officer to conform his action to the limitations of the act of Con- gress confiscating the property of traitors and properly, in holding General Fremont to the express and single object of this war on the part of the government—‘the integrity of the Union;” its integrity including the slave States and their institution of slavery under the con- stitution. The President expects and desires, when the time comes, the support and co-opera- tion of the loyal Union men of thé South, slave- holders.and all, in behalf of the Union. Hence he desires to avoid, as far as possible, any act, even as a military necessity, calculated to alien- ate the loyal men of the South. “Honest Abe Lincoln” has no sympathy for this abolition heresy of “emancipation or separation.” His policy is simply “the integrity of the Union”—a policy which commands the approval and sup- port of every honest man who is not a fool or a fanatic. Accordingly every bona fide Union man will approve the instructions of the Presi- dent to General Fremont on this subject of emancipation. The General acted without au- thority and without discretion in the matter; but as this business now appears to be settled, the only remaining trouble with Fremont ap- pears to be the trouble’ raised by the Blairs touching his army disbursements. Here, however, as it appears, “the Pathfinder” is in very hot water; but while the Blair interest is not to be trifted with, Fremont, in his arrest of one of these puissant Blairs, shows very clearly that he is resolved to bring this business to a speedy issue. We await the upshot of the imbroglio; but as the shortest way to settle it, we would suggest the transfer of Fremont to some other military department, and the ap- rebels.

Having a burning love for the almi,“hty dol- Jar, and a desire not to lose favor of that ~teat divinity, the Tribune managers have suppresse$ their Sunday issue to avoid losing money. If this is the controlling motive with the Tribune philosophers, we would advise them to stop their week day Tribune altogether, and thus make a saving to their pockets worth striving for. When they have done that we will consult with and advise them as to their next course to pur- sue to save money. But these are not the only journals that should be stopped. The Independent is doing an immense amount of damage to the Union cause, as is likewise the Anéi- Slavery Standard, by persisting in a war cry contrary to the constitution. They are as great enemies to the Union as all the other Northera peace-secession papers combined. Should their policy be adopted by the authorities the restora- tion of our common country will be impossi- ble—ruin and anarchy will alone await us. As to the Journal of Commerce, that sheet is now on trial for its good behavior, Having got rid of its reverend secession editor——the original founder of the anti-slavery press—it may possi- bly purify itself and yet become a healthy jour- nal, But there is yet danger of a reaction; if it comes it will surely follow the course of the News and other papers that have so suddenly disappeared. At present we can only advise the doctors to watch closely the beatings of its pulse. gevernme,. Tue Conservative Srare Ticker.—This ticket will be elected by a large majority, and the Regency and Tammany Hall ticket will be nowhere. The abolitionists have had the im- pudence to strike one name off it—Frederick A. Tallmadge, of this city, a conservative and Union man—and put the name of Benjamin F, Bruce, of Madison county, an abolitionist, in ite stead. But the trick will not succeed, and the whole conservative ticket will be carried. Let the watchword therefore be—‘“The ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket.” As there is but one flag in our struggle with re- bellion, so let there be but one ticket. Let those who recruit for the ticket recruit at the same time for the army, and thus a double suc- cess will have been achieved. The following is a copy of the ticket, which no one will vote against but Tammany Hall and the aboli- tionists:— Fir Secreary of State—Horatio Ballard, of Courtland county. For Comptroller—Lucius Robinson, of Chemung county. Judge of the of Appeals--William B, Wright, of Ulster county, For Atlorney General—Danicl 8. Dickinson, of Broomo county. "Fir State Preasurer—William B. Lewis, of Kinga oounty. For Slate Engineer and Surveyor—William B. Taylor, of Oneida county. For Canal Commissioners —P. A. Alberger, of Erie coum- ty (long term); Frederick A. Tallmadge, of Now York (short term.) For Ih State Prisonse—Abram B. Tappan, of Westchester county. ; N Tue Aspe McMaster as A Huwonisz anp a Martyr.—We have before us last Saturday's number of the New York Freeman’s Appeal, successor to the Freeman’s Journal—the num- ber which contains the seditious matter for which its editor, the Abbe McMaster, has been sent to Fort Lafayette by the government. It has several articles in the.Mobespierrean vein, but some of them are so spiced with humor as to be more amusing than dangerous. For example, the Abbe says: “ The brute force applied against the Hreeman’s Journal still con- tinues.” We had supposed that paper to be dead, and to be beyond the reach of either brute or moral force. Again he says: “We have, by God’s favor, a long career before us.” How little the poor Abbe knew of the future, and how the United States Marshal was so soon to cut short his career ip very summary man- ner. Ht saya, “ We work for results;” and the Abbe has obtained them speedily. Perhaps, finding that the Appeal was likely soon to walk the plank, like the’ Freeman’s Journil, he did not think free board and lodging in one of Uncle Sam’s forts a bad spéculation these hard times, at the same time that he might attain the honors of a cheap martyrdom. Hence he was particularly violent in Saturday’s num- ber. If that was his object, he has been promptly aceommodated. The Abbe will havo good society in the fort— some staunch Catholics and educated men. But the company will not be complete till it is joined by Beecher, Cheever, and half a dozen more of the shining lights of Puritanism, who will have plenty of time for discussion, and can enter into an “irrepressible conflict” with the Abbe upon “the errors of Popery” and the false doctrine, heresy and schism of the Protesiant churches. Freedom of speech will be allowed within the walls of the fort, where it can do no mischief. We would suggest that Wendell Phil- lips, Garrison, Tappan and Jay should be added to the list of illustrious inmates of the fort, in order that they may enter into mortal combat with the pro-slavery prisoners, and that both factions may eat each other up, like the aw Ovr Gran Crors.—Ifowever much other classes of our people may have cause to com- plain of it, our farmers are not‘likely to suffer much inconvenience from the pressure of the war. There is now but little doubt that the demand for breadstuffs from abroad will be greater this year than at any former period, Although the wheat crop in England is near the average, in Scotland and Ireland it will fall far below it. In France it is also ascertained that the crops will be very short, and the ex- tensive purchases already being made on French account indicate the extent to whith we may expect later in the season to see our exports to that country pushed. The grain crops in the South, respecting which there was so much poastful anticipation in the secessionist jour- nals, are, according to recent accounts, also likely to prove a failure, owing to the heavy rains that prevailed throughout the month of August. If peace should be conquered by the commencement of the New Year, as we now. have every reason to belicve it will, the demand from that quacter for our breadstuffs will be as large as ever.” Our Western farmers were never ina better condition to supply the wants «i.
