THE NEWS. This is the day (Friday, September 20, 1861), that General Beauregard promised his rebel fol- lowers that they should enjoy the treat of taking the national capital. ‘ The British brig Hannah Eastee was seized at Elizabethport yesterday by the United States Mar- shal of New Jersey. From certain movements about the vessel the Marshal suspected that all was not right, and in consequence went on board, when he discovered that she had in a cargo of flour and other goods, and that she had no clear- ance or other papers from the Custom House at this port, where she arrived on the 6th inst., from Havana. G. H. Fairchild, Mayor of Atchison, Kansas, has ordered that no man shall be allowed to leave the place with arms or ammunition. He has put the Home Guard in trim, armed them with Minie muskets, and says he is prepared to defend the city. y. B. Baker, formerly of New Hampshire, who was nominated by the Union party of Iowa for Governor, has declined to run. The orders from the War Department at Wash- ington, just published in this city, are of great in- terest to volunteers and troops. ‘The republican party and the constitutional Union men of Massachusetts are about to unite and form a people's party in opposition to the democrats. The St. Louis Democrat says there is trouble ahead for the President, as no administration can withstand the popularity of the emancipation clause in General Fremont’s proclamation. Mr. B. F. Corlies, stationer, of Nassau street, one of the State prisoners at Fort Lafayette, has been honorably discharged from custody by the orders of the Secretary of State. Mr. Corlies has been always considered by his friends as a staunch Unionist. Mr. J. C. Rahming has been honorably acquitted and released from Fort Lafayette, nothing having been found against him to warrant his further de- tention. The New York Democratic State Central Com- ‘Puurxsevus, Sone: New York, Friday, September 20, 1861. & THE SITUATION. The news from Lexington, Missouri, is of a very important character. General Price was before the city with his large body of rebel forces, and on Monday afternoon called on Acting General Mul- ligan to surrender. This latter officer returned a very short, but emphatic negative answer; conse- quently the rebels opened fire,and the battle com- menced in earnest, to which the Union troops re- plied vigorously. When the couriers left on Tues- day morning the fight was still continuing, al- though the rebels’ fire was much more feeble than on the previous day. Reinforcements for the be- Jeaguered troops were on the way from all parts, and it is confidently expected that Mulligan will be able to hold out until they reach him. General Lane with the Kansas forces is after Rains, and will thus be able to create diversion if they shoald arrive in time. Jeff. Thompson, with over two thousand rebels, had moved to New Madrid, Mo. The intelligence from Kentucky is daily growing of greater importance. The forming of a new department, consisting of Ohio, Indiana and that part of Kentucky within a radius of fifteen miles of Cincinnati, and placing it under the charge of General Mitchell, relieves both General Rosecrans and General Anderson (of Sumter fame) of an im- mense amount of responsibility, and will enable them to give greater attention ta thoir own epecial departments. The department under General Anderson seems to require similar military disci- pline as did that of Annapolis and Maryland, andas & commencement the treasonable telegraphic news reporter of the Southern Associated Press, who has been the medium for the transmis- sion of correspondence from traitors at the North to rebels in the Sceuth, has, with ex-Governor Morehead and Reuben T. Murrett, one of the proprietors of the Courier—a rebel sheet, the office of which has been forcibly taken possession of, and the paper stopped—been arrested. This man, named Martin W. Barr, was the cause of so many false rey orts relative to the battles, &c., appearing in the Southern news- papers, as he has invariably taken the true ac- counts when in favor of the Union, reversed the statement, and so published it, thus helping to keep up the rebel enthusiasm, which would otherwise have died out from want of fire. Itis reported that nineteen thousand rebel troops have taken possession of Mayfield, Ky., and are fortifying it. A slight skirmish is reported to have taken place near Columbus, but without injury to the Union troops. The news from Washington is also of an in- teresting if not important character. From a statement of a deserter from the rebel camp it is understood that General Jeff. Davis was at Mun- son's Hill on Wednesday, together with Generals Beauregard and Johnston, making reconnoissances. Jeff. Davis was busily engaged inspecting our works by the aid of a glass. Only one thousand rebels are reported as being at that place, the balance of the force being located at Fairfax Court House and Centreville. They are said‘ to be now only one hundred thousand strong, and that fifteen thousand had a short time since been sent to North Carolina for that State's protection. The deserter is of opinion that the rebels did not contemplate an attack” upon the Union forces, but daily were awaiting one from them. They had formerly in- tended to have crossed into Maryland, but he was of opinion they would not now do so. General McClellan, while reviewing the command of Gen. Franklin, discovered a reconnoitering Party of rebels approaching, and at once saluted them with shell, sighting the guns himse. As the shells ex- Ploded in their midst they specdily withdrew. General McClellan next sent a few winged messen- gers among the rebels who were engaged erecting a battery on Mason’s Hill, near Munson’s Hill, ‘The missiles having taken effect, the workmen sus- pended operations pro tem, Everything was quiet | along the lines at midnight. Some very important changes have been made in both the naval and military departments of the government forces, A scouting party from Gen. Banks’ army crossed the Potomac at Seneca Creek, and discovered a ‘body of rebel troops—three regiments of infantry— Grilling on the Leesburg Fair Ground. The scouts Were informed that other large bodies of rebels Were in the neighborhood. Gen. Johnston's rebel Prny is saidto be fully as large as previous re- + ports have made it. A movement of his force @oross the river into Maryland is expected asa taillitary necessity. *| strict middling upiands mittee met at Albany yesterday, and selected Marshal B, Champlin, of Allegany, and William Williams, of Erie, as candidates for the offices of Attorney General and Treasurer, respectively, in place of Messrs. Tremaine and Brunck, who declined the nominations of the State Convention. A reso- lution approving of President Lincoln’s action re- specting the slavery proclamation of Gen. Fremont ‘was adopted. Ata special meeting of the Mozart Hall General Committee, held last evening, the People’s Union ticket of the Syracuse Convention was adopted by a vote of 121 to 20. A committee of seven was appointed to receive the names of inspectors and the places of holding the polls for the primary elections of delogates to nominate the county officers, and also to name the day for the primary elections. The meeting was addressed by Hon. Fernando Wood, ex-Judge Dean, Lucius F. Coz- zens and several other prominent members of the committee. A meeting was held last evening at the Fifth Avenue Hotel for the purpose of making arrange- ments for the organization of a party to be devoted toareform in our.city government. A series of resolutions were adopted, and after some routine business they adjourned until the second Tuesday in October. At the meeting of the Fifth Ward People’s Union Association, held last evening at the Fifth Ward Hotel, General Hiram Walbridge delivered a stir- ring Union speech, which was applauded enthu- sinstically, but owing to the lack of space we are compelled to defer the publication of our report of it for the present. Yesterday afternoon a mass meeting of the in- habitants of Kings county, in the city of Brooklyn, was held at Fort Green. The proceedings are of an interesting character. and the obiect wae to adopt resolutions of attachment to the Union and for a vigorous prosecution of the present war by the President and government. The greatest una- nimity prevailed. Public addresses were made by Messrs. David Dudley Field, Spinola, Hogeboom, Nicholl and-Odell. The report is crowded out. The Supervisors had a meeting yesterday. A communication was received from the Mayor, veto- ing the resolution passed recently by the Board authorizing the Police Commissioners to purchase certain lots for the erection of a headquarters of the Police Department. A communication from the Comptroller stated that the ordinance pending before the Board did not contain provisions of three per cent for arreara and deficiencies, which the law directs should be inserted, and which would require an appropriation of $309,117. Re- ferred. A minority report from the special com- mittee on the reduction of the tax levy, of a very voluminous nature, stated that no reduction could be legally made in the levy, except inthe wages paid to employes in the several bureaus. After arandom discussion on the report, the Board ad- journed till to-day at three P.M., when the tax levy will be taken up as the special order of business. The Board of Aldermen did not meet last even- ing. Having adjourned sine die, they cannot or- ganize again until a call is made by a majority of the members. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening, but very little business, save the adoption of routine papers, was transacted, the most of the time having been consumed in the reception of motions to adjourn. This parliamentary filibus tering was resorted to by some of the members who voted fora resolution directing the Street Commissioner to proceed forthwith in the grading and laying out of Mount Morris square as a park, conformable tothe plan of H. L. Southard and J. Buckhout. This measure occasioned an exciting debate, which resulted in laying the resolution on the table. The examination in the case of James Karkin, who is charged with having fired the steamboat Cataline, at Fortress Monroe, in the month of July last, was postponed for the third time yesterday. The hearing has been set down for Saturday after- noon, at one o’clock, before Justice Quackenbush. ‘The number of inmates in the public institutions of the city at present is 8,227—a decrease of 2 during the past week. The number admitted during that time was 2,310, and those who died, were discharged, or transferred to other institu- tions, numbered 2,312. The gunboat Unadilla, the first of the twenty-five vessels of war of that class ordered by Congress, went on her trial trip down the harbor yesterday. Her performance proved perfectly satisfactory to all parties interested. To-morrow (Saturday) is the last day upon which the old postage stamps will be received at the Post office in exchange for the new style. Thore was some better feeling apparent in the cotton market yesterday, and the sales embraced about 600 a 700 bales, closing on the basis of 213y¢. a 2c, for middling to ders were nct pressing sales, aad continued to manifest confidence in thefuture. The light receipts, combined with the firmness in freights and a good export demand, caused an improvement in bread- stoifs, Flour advanced from Sc. to 10c. per barrel, es- pecially for good shipping brands of State and Western. Wheat was in good request and active, cloging at an ad- vance of 2¢. to Se. per bushel, mainly for geod shipping lots.

The New York Tribune of yesterday con- tained a covert attack upon the-President in an editorial article under the caption of “The Slaves of Rebels.” Its manifest tendency is to injure and embarrass the government, and drive the ship of State upon the shoals and rocks. The Chicago Tribune boldly shows its hand, and makes a furious onslaught upon the administra- tion, for which the editor ought to be sent to keep company with the Abbe McMaster at Fort Lafayette. The New York Tribune's attack is insidious, but equally hostile and equally de- serving of public reprobation. It calls for the immediate attention of the Secretary of State and the United States Marshal. It is far more Prejudicial to the government and more dan- gerous to the cause of the Union than all that has ever appeared in the columns of the Free- man’s Journal, Freeman’s Appeal or Daily News. The Tribune asserts that slavery is the cause of the war, and that it “is just as much the groundwork of this rebellion as whiskey was that of Western Pennsylvania during the ad- ministration of General Washington;” and the argument of our fanatical contemporary is that slavery must, therefore, be abolished, in order to put down the rebellion and end the war. Now the very reverse of this is the fact. Sla- very is not the cause of the war, nor the groundwork of the rebellion, just as whiskey was not the groundwork of the Pennsylvania rebellion, but hostility to an excise law regard- ed by the insurgents as partial, discriminating and unjust in its operation. General Washing- ton did mot undertake to abolish whiskey, which is a very good thing in its way when used with moderation, and is still a legitimate article of manufacture and commerce in Pennsylvania. His object was to enforce obedience to the laws, not to accomplish the abolition of whiskey, and his success was commensurate with the reason- ableness of the object of the war. Had he issued a proclamation abolishing whiskey, the result, to say the least, would have been very doubiful. It is not slavery, then, that is the cause of the present war and the groundwork of the rebellion, for slavery is a legitimate in- stitution, having existed before and at the forma- tion of the Union, and its protection having been expressly guaranteed in the constitution: Its continuance or extinction in any State is a question solely for the adjudication of the peo- ple of that State, and for no other State or number of States, nor for the federal Congress, nor the President of the Union. If slavery is the cause of the rebellion, why did it not pro- duce it before, during the three-quarters of a century which the government oxisted? It is clear that slavery is not the cause of the trouble, but the fanatical disposition at the North-to meddle with it. It is playing the part of a busybody in other men’s matters that has introduced the wedge which has split «the Union. In one word, it is abolitionism, For the lest thirty years it has waged @ crusade against the institution of slavery, and its leaders have frequently declared that they preferred its abolition to the continuance of the Union, and that is their sentiment to-day. By their violence and their propagandism they have supplied the ground on which the insur- gent chieftains have erected the fabric of se- cession, and but for the abolitionists the South- ern leaders of the rebellion never could have succeeded. Nor will the insurrection be ever put down till abolitionism is cut up root and branch. The abolitionists are as much rebels in heart and as much disaffected to the Union and the consti- tution as the Southern secessionists. Not only are they the notorious cause of the dismember- ment of the Union, but the main hindrance to its restoration. Their organs assail the govern- ment either openly or covertly, prematurely disclose its plans, and endeavor to force it into dangerous steps by bringing party clamor to bear against it ; and they even encourage insxbordination to the supreme power, A short time ago one of these journals proposed to supersede the President by a revo- lution, and appoint George Law in his stead by an insurgent mob. Now several of them again propose to supersede the President and place high above him in authority one of his own generals. Fremont, at St. Louis, of his own mere motion, and without the sanction of the President, issues an ill-advised proclamation, which carried out the ideas of the abolitionists, justified the charges of the secessionists against Mr. Lincoln’s government, and ‘ -nored alike the law of Congress and the existence of the Chief Magistrate at Washington. It was a high- handed act of insubordination, and the’ Tribune and other abolition journals sustain him in it, and censure the President for mildly insisting on the adherence of his subordinate to the letter and spirit of the law of Congress, which the President is bound to carry out in-pursuance of his oath. The proclamation of Mr. Fremont was a piece of dictatorship akin to the mutiny and insubor- dination in California, for which he was tried by court martial and found guilty, in the Mexi- can war. He was sentenced to death, but saved by the influence of his father-inJaw. His recent act is far more reprehensible, because in- volving more serious consequences. The Presi- dent only administers a gentle rebuko, but at the same time asserts his own authority, and proclaims that neither General Fremont nor any other general shall transcend the law of Congress; that no slave shall be set. free by the authority of a general under any circumstances; that no slaves, even of rebels in arms, shall be seized by any general unless those slaves are proved to have been used in the military opera- tions of the enemy, and that whatever slaves are justly captured shall be held to the end of the war. It was fortunate, in ene sense, that General Fremont gave the President an opportunity of nobly coming out before the country as he has done. His letter no longer leaves any doubt of the design of the government in the prosecution of the war, and it has saved Kentucky to the Union. The President; it is true, has given mortal offence to the abo- litionists, and they will never forgive him in this world or the world to come. But he has made millions of friends, while he has lost some hundreds of fanatical followers, whose support was only conditional. The offence should come some time, and the sooner the better. The course of the President has knocked abolition- ism on the head, but it has saved the country and prevented the war from degenerating into | Mexican anarchy. If the ideas of the anti- slavery fanatics were adopted the war would be interminable. Two-thirds of the people of the Southern States are to-day sound Unionists, and would so declare themselves if they could. But the policy recommended by the Tribune and the other abolition shects would totally alienate the hearts of those men, aud make them as deadly enemies as the most rabid seces” slonists. In the North, too, it would paralyze the arm of the government, and deprive the war of that general and enthusiastic support which is essential to its success. It is as important, therefore, for the govern- ment to put a stop to the rebellious course of the abolitionists as to seize secession sympa-: thizers. They are both equally the enemies of the administration. Not only onght the abol'. tion presses to be squelched, and their editors sent to some fortress, but the conventicles of the abolition demagogues bearing the title of “reverend” ought to be closed, and the in- cendiaries themselves handed over to the ten- der mercies of the Southern rebels, in exchange for some of the valuable prisoners of war now incarcerated in Castle Pinckney, in the harbor of Charleston. Great Disturbance in Wall Strect—Dread of the Export of Bullion. For the past few days there has been a great deal of excitement and disturbance in Wall street, consequent upon the seizure by the agents of the Secretary of State of moneys de- posited by Southerners with our city banks and bankers. These seizures are professedly made under the Confiscation act passed by the last Congress, and have resulted in a gain to the government of from fifty to sixty thousand dollars. There has been deposited in this city by Southerners between fifteen and twenty millions of dollars, and these paltry thousands only have been secured by Seward’s agents. The balance has been sent off to Europe as fast as possible by the honest bankers, and about the only effects which this move of the Secretary of State has produced have been a great disturbance in Wall street, a rise in the rate of exchange, a convulsion in the money market, and a check in the subseriptions to the popular loan. There is very little for Mr. Seward to congratulate himself upon in this. Before the commencement of actual hostili- ties between the two sections, but after the secession of South Carolina and the seizure of our forts and arsenals, many of the moneyed men down South sent on all the funds they could spare or gather for investment and deposit here. These men were merchants, cotton brokers, manufaeturers, cotton and tobacco planters; and, knowing the North well, through their commercial dealings with us, and fearing that the attempted secession of the Southern States would result in a bogus confederacy and in actual warfare, they transmitted their funds here for security and safe keeping. They were mostly Union men as long as it was possible for them to be Union men, and still reside at their homes in the South. They are undoubtedly Union men still, but are repressed by the military despotism of Jeff. Davis. Every dollar they have sent here is a pledge, not only of their con- fidence in the perpetuity of the federal govern- ment and the honesty and good faith of the North, but also of. their supreme distrust and dislike of the piraticdl sham of a government under which they are compelled to live. These funds, sent here by Southerners for safe keeping, are the best evidence we have of a strong but suppressed Union feeling at the South, and the best security we have for its continuance. “Where a man’s treasure is there will hisheart be also,” says a book whose authority cannoi be doubted, These Southerners evidently thought to placo their treasure, with their hearts, in the right place, and they sent it to the North, thus strengthening our hands and weakening those of Jeff. Davis’ clique. We are afraid that this action of Secretary Seward will change all this; will sever this golden link between the Union men North and South; will cause them to fail to See the difference in result between our Confis- cation act and Jeff. Davis’ levies, and will do our cause injury, not only among the Union men South, but also among the financiers here. The deposit of this twenty millions in our banks here was one of the causes of the gene- ral abundance of specie during the past nine months, and its effect was immediately shown in the fall in the rate of exchange, which has ever since continued in our favor. With so much specie in their vaults our banks were enabled safely to guarantee the first instalment of fifty millions of the Treasury loan; and thus these Southern depositors not only deprived Jeff. Davis of the use of their money, but actually con- tributed it, indirectly, to the support of the government in its efforts to crush out rebellion. If they could not serve the Union cause in per- son they at least deposited their money where it could do good service, and money has always been accounted the very sinews of war. This was one of the great causes of the success of Secretary Chase's loan, and now that Secretary Seward, without, seemingly, any consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, has ordered these Southern deposits to be seized, the na- tional Joan immediately shows the evil effect of this measure by a falling off in its subscriptions of fifty per cent. Not only this, but the bank- ers are hurrying off this specieto Europe for safe keeping; the rate of exchange is rising, and will soon be against us; the drain of specie from this country which must ensue will stop subscriptions to our loan almost entirely. Our financiers have no sympathy whatever with an interference with their deposits, which they can- not but regard as a breach of honesty and good faith, and the consequence will be a convulsion in finance here, and a loss of confi- dence in our government, both among the Union men South and the financiers North, equally disastrous in the present and in the future. About the legality of these seizures there is @ great deal of question, for most of these funds were deposited before actual hostilities began, and all of them, so far from being em- ployed to aid the rebels, have actually been taken from the rebels to aid the Union cause. This poinf? however, we may safely reserve, for it seems to us that there are reasons cogent enough to induce the Secretary of State to re- consider his hasty and ill-advised action in the alienation of Southern Union men; in the de- struction of the last vestige of Southern Union feeling; in the breach of plain, practical, busi- ness good faith and honesty; .in the drain of specie from this country; in the rise of ex. change; in the check of subscriptions to the popular loan; in the bad feeling generated among our financiers, who will not voluntarily be forced into mean and dishonest acts; in the disturbance of the entire money market, and in the convulsion in Wall street, which will all naturally and inevitably ensue if these seizures be continued. A little reflection and a short consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury will, we opine, convince Secretary Seward of the justice of these views. The public are con- vinced of it alrea Tue Desrerats Conprrion or Tammany.—We Notice that @ combined effort is being made be- tween the famous Aldermanic ring and its god- mother, Tammany, fo send to all Union meet” ings a band of desperadoes to either break up the meetings or get control of them by electing some of their own clique as officers. In one of the up-town wards, a number of business and professional men, who have become disgusted with the rascality of the politicians, met to consult and agree upon some plan to sécure the nomination of good men for city officers, and had hardly got together before they were inter- fered with by the representatives of the ring and Tammany Hall. The object of the meeting was defeated by the City Hall crowd taking “possession and electing their own men as officers, The next morning a card was pub. lished, stating that these persons had been elect- ed officers of a Union meeting. Really, Tam. many is getting into a desperate condition, and it is not to be wondered that her name is con nected with every mean and rascally trick in our city politics.

He then proceeded to West Point, made a critical inspection of the Military Academy at that piace,and arrived at the New York Hotel late on the same evening, where his consort, the Princess Clothilde, was awaiting his coming. In his peregrination through the West and the Canadas his Imperial Highness was accompanied by his suite, and Monsieur Mercier, the French Minister resident at Wash- ington, The Princess Clothilde mot her husband at Buf- falo, went with him to Niagara, and returned to this city, where she remained at the hotel, haying as company only the Duchess De Abrantes. ‘Yesterday morning his Imperial Highness the Princo took a carriago at the hotel, and, accompanied by Monsieur Mercier, Colonel Rajon and Mr. Sands, went aboard his yacht, lying off the Battery. In the afternoon the Prince took another drive before dinner, as did also the Princess, accompanied by the Duchess De Abrantes. His Royal Highness, attended by M. Montholon and four itlemen of his suite, also visited the studio of M. jignoux, in Tenth street. The Prince expressed himself greatly pleased with the artist's last work, ‘The Indian Summer,” which he hoped would find its way to the next Paris exhibition. : This morning tho Prince will depart from this city and proceed in his yacht to Boston, having accepted an invita- tion from Governor Andrew to visit the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section § of the act organtzing your honorable body probibits “the draft of any money irom the Treasury ex- geptit shall be appropriated for the purpose for, whlch It ls drawn.” ‘This policy a enforced in the several acts ens. bling the Board of Supervisors to to ralse_money by tax for city and county purposes.

When funds tatsed for police parposes reach the hands of the Commissioners, they should be re- Primary annwerable to the State. the Legislature, aed i marily answerable to the ¢ Ti ure, and i Vione hes bower tpdivect ihe furteeatiapeunter tens anrpine in the hi of the Commi: rs.
