There is nothing to report to-day of active moveients in the army in front of the national capital. The paroled prisoners who arrived yesterday state that the report was prevalent among the enemy that General Ewell had died of his wounds. and that General Lee was slightly wounded in the hand, by the accidental discharge of his pistol. The late battle formed the topic of general con- versation in Washington yesterday. It is now un- derstood that the reports of our losses in killed aad wounded, as well asin the quantity of stores which fell into tle hands of the enemy, are great- ly exaggerated. The new levies are arriving at the rate of several thousand a day, and are being distri- buted among the veteran corps, where they are most needed. The rwnor that Stonewall Jackson was on ihe move towards Maryland across the Poto- mae was still in circulation yesterday, and it was said that General Wool was on the march to the Upper Potomac to resist him; but these reports have received as yet no official confirmation. Numbers of gunboats are afloat on the Potomac between Alexandria and Washington. A feeling of perfect confidence exists in the capital. No danger is now anticipated there. The ready enthusiasm with which the citizens of Cincinuati have entered into the defence of that city is worthy of praise. The whole male popula- tion capable of bearing arms are engaged in put- ting up earthworks on the Kentucky hills. All the able bedi t negroes have been im- pressed into k upon the fortifications. several steamer ave been fitied up as gunboata in the Olio river ) + repel invasion by the enemy. «e other portions of the, State Regimenis tron snd it was estimated that fully } men will at once be in a position to under Kirby Smith, the rebel chief. At accounts, however, it was doubted whether the rebels were in such strong force at Lexington as previously reported, while it was stated, on the other hand, that the enemy occupied Lexington, Paris and George- town in some force. The Cincinnati Times, an evening paper, was suppresyed yesterday for publishing articles condemnatory of the course of the administration in the prosecution of the ast war. By the arrival of the United States steamship Falton at this port about two o'clock this morning, we have letters and files of papers from New Or- leans to the 28th ult. They, however, contain but Tittle news of importance. The evacuation of Buton Kouge had been safely effected, and the troops encamped at Carrollton. The weather was unusually hot, but the city continued healthy. The gunboat Essex is reported by the Grenada Appeal (rebel source) to have shelled Bayou Sara ou Sunday morning, and to have sent a boat’s crew the afternoon and burat all the buildings The same paper talks about the de- struction of the forts below New Orleans by ‘‘the rebel gunboats," which’ is simply impossible, as there cannot be any rebel gunboats in that vi- cinity, if the ramor refers to Forts St. Philip and Jacksou. The Wheeling (Va.) Jntelligencer of the 34 inat. states that a despatch from General Kelly, dated the 2d inst., says that he was attacked by the rebel cuerillas Colonels Jenkins and Imboden, the same who made the raid on Buckbaanon and Wes- ton, and that he defeated them, killing and cap- al of their number. Richmond pepers of the Ist instant, received in his city, contain lengthy editorials and reports nts between Richmond sad Washington, The Dispatch is jubilant over the fact that # rebel ashor in the place. ou the late rely force had ga Pope's army and upon this considered the cap- “ reclamation’ of foregone concius!on jare of Washington and the Marylh The Dispatch his a long, labored article on armed intervention, in which the-writer saye Anything leos than armed futervention by severay of the lead more harn than good, The recognition of our inde. ¢ Powers of Mur pe will do our cause wendence, the raising of the blockade, and alli- ance, offensive or defensive, with France or Eng- land, would | t exusperste aud unite the North, and tos sivengthen her and indoce ua to relax ver exertions, and thereby weaken us.

It was blowing a gale at the time, and the vessel was driven among the breakers. No lives were lost. It is thought that the armament of the vessel will be saved. We learn from Washington that the War De. partment has arms in readiness for volunteers as fast as they arrive, and arrangements for the fu- wure will insure a full supply. Old table cloths, the army surgeons say, make the best lint. Bring them out. The difficulty with the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota has been amicably settled; but it will require grape and canister to bring the Sioux to terms. The following despatch in relation to the draft was sent by the President to Gov. Ramsey, of -Miunesota :— War DErarrment, Wasuinaton, August 27, 1862. To Gov. ALEXanDER Ramsry:— Yours received. Attend to the Indians. If the drait cannot proceed, of course it will not pro- ceed. Necessity knows no law. The government cannot extend the time. A.

By order of the Secretary of War. C. P. Bucnineuam, Brig. Gen. and A. A.G. The inquest in the case of Catharine Galatzki, who died from the effects of an abortion, as pre- viously reported, was concluded yesterday by Coroner Naumann, and resulted in the jury finding a verdict against Dra. Cox and Sherrel. The Co- roner committed Mrs. Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Trucheart as witnesses. From the weekly statement of the Commis- Sionera, of Public Charities and Correction, pre- sented yesterday, it appears that 1,575 persons were admitted to the diferent institutions during the week ending on the 30th ult., and the number remaining there om that date was 6,395, being a decrease of 44 on the preceding week. The United States steam frigate Wyoming ar. rived at Honolula, S. I., on the 8th July, six. teen days from San Francisco. She sailed on the 9th of the same month for Manila.

Occupation For Fraxce—Tue Crusade For THE Lmeration or Rome.—The accounts that reach us of the progress of the revolutionary movement initiated by Garibaldi impart to it a gravity that the English and French journals would fain withhold from it. There is now no doubt that the general feeling of Italy is warm- ly in its favor, and that, although Victor Eman- uel and his Cabiaect have, out of fear of France, proclaimed all those taking part in it rebels, they will be unable to give effect to the mea- sures that they have taken for its suppression. It is notorious that a large proportion of the officers of the Italian army have secretly given their adhesion to the movement, and from ail the large cities recruits are either swelling the ranks of Garibaldi’s followers or are preparing to join him at the points indicated as places of rendezvous. Money, too, is said to be plen tifully forthcoming for the prosecution of the campaign: and it is even stated that some of the highest personages in the kingdom are amongst the contributors to the expeditionary fund. A great deal of nonsense has been written about the foolbardiness of Garibaldi in under- taking an enterprise which presents such for- midable difficulties. No one should presume to judge of the measure of his rashness without being in possession of his plans and the en- couragement on which they are based. We be- lieve that it will turn out that this movement is only partof a general revolutionary conspi- racy which embreces Hungery. Poland, and it may be even France. in its sawificutions. The review of the French National Guard by the Emperor the other day would go to show that if this latter seeumption is not well founded eousiderable apprehension exists on the subject. If Lonis Napoleon resorted to this, with him rere, proceeding to test the feeling of the bourgeoisie of Paris, he has acquired rather an unpleasant conviction of its tendencies in the evies of ‘Vive U'Italie’ by which he was greet ed. These occurreaces are, it must be owned, rather unfavorable to the revived hopes of Jeff. Davis and his associxies in connection with France. Between Garibaldi and Mexico, the energies and spare resources of the Emperor are likely to be too much occupied to allow o! hiv devoting his atiention for some time to come to the question of Southern recognitioa. Tox Tuwunz axp McCrei.an.—-When Gen Pope was cagaged in bis severe battles with the rebels, the Tribune declared that his failure ‘o roul them and his being compelled to fall back on Saturday were owing to the fact that aa did net appreciate the value of time forward bis troops as ordered; when in the same iesue of the Tribune it was staied that the victory on Friday wos won by a por- tion of MeCleilan’s army. The fact is it was by the uid of 'cClellan’s veterans, under Heint- zelmaa, Hooker, Kearny, Sykes and others vieing with the veteraus under Pope. that the batile wes won. However, the’ President, by placing Genero] McClellan in command, has pully answered the charges of the Tribune.

The appointment of McClellan to the com- | it. Itseems a pity that pradonce had not en- | creased, that there is a reduction in the city | | mand of the Army of Virginia, which now occu- | pies the fortifications around Washington, gives great satisfaction and confidence to the pub- lio at large, as it does to the army itself. In consequence of -recent events in Virginia, great despondency and anxiety filled the public mind. These feelings are now dissipated. Washington is known to be safe; and the army is safe within its impregnable chain of forts, where it can be reorganized and its recent losses repaired, so as to fit it for auother onward movement in a very brief time. The appointment of McClellan, under existing circumstances, is a death blow to the meddling radicals, and is entirely due to the firmness of the President, who had sufficient sagacity to comprehend the situation of the republic and to make choice of the best man to prepare the army for the great work which is still before it. His moral courage in resisting the entrea” ties and defying the threats of a fanatical fac- tion in this hour of the nation’s peril is worthy of all praise. He has put down his foot at the right moment, and, if the Navy Department will not do its duty in co-operating with the army, we have no doubt that he will soon put his foot down again, and exhibit the same vigor which he did in ordering the capture of Nor- folk, which resulted in the destruction of the Merrimac and the retreat of the rebel army up the peninsula. It is expected that by the let of October five or six iron-clad gunboats will be ready to act in concert with the army, and that fifty such vessels will be actively engaged by the Ist of January. These will be ample to retake all the federal forts and places on the seacoast, including Charleston, Savannah and Mobile, while the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and other Western waters will be under the complete dominion of the Star Spangled Banner. The radicals are industriously cireulating stories that the ‘army will go into winter quar- ters at Washington, and do nothing till the spring except to throw up earthworks. There is no such intention. The war will be prose- cuted with promptitude and vigor. The army will soon be ready to take the field again. Were it not necessary to dis- tribute the new troops among the old, and to appoint new officers from among the men who have earned, on the bloody field the right to lead their fellow soldiers, operations would not be suspended for a moment. To reorganize the army it will take the whole of the present month. After that a force of three or four hundred thousand men will sweep over the plains of Virginia with irresistible energy, and then woe to the rebels who will wait for their onset. Meantime, within their fortified camp, they are able to resist any force which can be brought against them; nor can the rebels cross into Maryland, as they calculated. The game ‘is therefore up with them, their last card having been played. The West is also aroused, and the greatest activity prevails beyond the Ohio. In the Western States five hundred thousand men will be raised, who will sweep the rebels back to the Gulf. In short, a million of mea will take the field before the first frost; and before the new year the restoration of all the rebellious States to the Union will be an accomplished fact. It is a mistake to suppose that no progress has been made in putting down the rebellion during the last twelve months. The capture of Forts Walker and Keauregard, at Port Royal; the taking of Forts Henry and Donelson; the works at Columbus, Ky.; Island No. 10, Fort Pulaski, the forts at New Orleans, New Or- leans itself, Pensacola, Memphis, Nashville, Noriolk, Newbern, Beaufort, and many other points in the rebellious States, together with the destruction of the formidable rams Merri mac and Arkansas, nearly all the rebel gun- boats on the Western waters, and all the privateers om the ocean, surely indicate some progress within the course of the last year. But these successes have been achieved for the most part by our gunboats; and it is quite true, on the other hand, that we have lost some of the ground that we had gained by our land forces; and to recover that, and all that belongs to the United States government, will sae forth be the task of our army, reorganized under General McClellan. But, meantime, tet the new levies of troops be pushed forward rapidly, and let them be drilled by sections and by compwhies as soon as they are sworn into the service. Numerous drillmasters can be had from the militia regiments in this city and the other large cities of the North. Let the volunteers be sent for- ward without delay. Every hour is pre- cious, and none can tell what a day may bring forth. When the French republic, after the Revolution, was assailed by the kings of all Europe, it raised 1,200,000 men in three months, which swept back the wave of invasion and carried the war into the heart of the enemy's country. What is to prevent us, with @ far larger population, and fur greater wealt and resources, doing the same thing? The days of the rebellion are therefore numbered, and in two years from the time it unfurled the pal- metto flag at Charleston, as the symbol of re- volt, will the serpent have been utterly crushed under the heels of a million of men in arms, Tae Posie Baromeren.—The public feeling in this city bas been completely revolutionized in the last forty-eight bours. On Wednesday despondency was seen everywhere; the faces of the people were long and gloomy, and they were seen hurrying to and fro with @ despon- dent, anxious aud nervous step, as if they were in momentary expeciation that some great calamity would befall them. Wall street was all excitement. Stocke went down and gold went up. Yesterday it was an- nounced tiat the President aud General Halleck had turned a deaf ear to the radical conspirators, and placed General McClellan in command of the entire army in Virginia, This simple | ot displaced the gloom and despon- dency oi the day previous; our people wore cheerful countenances, and moved about with 4 buoyant and coniident tread, as if they con- sidered the crisis over. Wall street responded to this feeling. Stocks again went up, and gold, which the day previous had gone to 119, fell to L17%. It is easy to see from this which generals have the public confidence. Pusitcation or Mintrary Movemenrs.—The Cincinnati Guzette, wich has been among the most noted of the Western journala for the publication of military movements, hae sudden- ly discovered, now that the enemy is at their doors- doubtiess through this very injudicious publication—that “it cannot be expected that militury operations and forces will be publish- oud farther dds teat “peudeuce forbids” lightened the abolition jourvais before their babbling reports had brought the rebe's so close to their borders and to tho national capi- tal. ‘The Battle Fields of VirginiasOur Mas trative May. We appropriate the last paze of this paper to an illustrative map of that important military section of Virginia which lies between Harper's Ferry on the north and Fredericksburg south, and between Washington in the extreme east and Warrenton west—a section memorable ever- more in the history of this rebellion. With a minuteness which has never heretofore been attempted in any newspaper map, and en ascale sufliciently large to render the general grouping of water courses, fords, ferries, bridges, railways and common roads, canals, mountains, cities, towns, hamlets, railway sta- tions, battle fields, &., perfectly clear and in- telligible at a glance, we think we have accom. plished in this map a very acceptable offering to our readers at this particular time. They desire to know something more than has yet been given them of the scenes of the late sanguinary bat- tles which have marked the march of General Pope’s army from the Rappahannock to the Heights of Arlington; something more of the Potomac river as the great defensive line of our national capital; something more of the field on which the rebel army is operating; and we offer the bird’s eye view of the whole military region we have indicated as filling all these demands. Here we see, for example, the importance of Warrenton to General Pope, in making a stand there against the rebel army advancing from the South; but after the enemy had gone round to his rear, by way of Thoroughfare Gap, the reader will discover from this map that there was no other alternative to our army than to fight its way through. In this connec- tion we may say, incidentally, that Gene- ral Pope had taken his precautions against this turning of his flank by the enemy, but that he underestimated their strength, and seemed to think that he had them in his grasp, when, by their overwheiming numbers, they calcu- lated upon nothing less than his destruction. After his brilliant and successful fight with the advanced forces of the rebel army on Friday, he expected on Saturday to capture the rem- nants, or to scatier them to the winds; but on Saturday, borne down by the apparently inex- haustible reinforcements of General Lee, we may congratulate our brave troops, their com- mander and the government, that General Pope’s army was not utterly cut to pieces. Returning to our map, from the distance be- tween the Chain Bridge, at the Little Falls of the Potomac (where the upper river ceases and the lower or tide water river begins), to Shuter’s Hill, behind Alexandria, and allow- ing for a still larger semicircle on the other side, the reader may form some idea of the circuit of the fortifications around Wash- ington. And when we tell him that around this circuit of thirty miles these forts command all the approaches to the river, he will perhaps feel satistied that Washington is safe. If not, there isthe river itself, which cannot by any army be crossed below Washington, except by boats, nor above the Little to the Great Falls in any way, on account of the rapids and the precipitous baaks of the river. From the Great Falls to Harper’s Ferry there is a ford here aud there; but they are all commanded by our re- doubts and batteries along the Maryland side. Finally, when it is considered that between the Blue Ridge and the Potomac, and all the way to Richmond, the country has been eaten out of its subsistence and laid waste by destroy- ing hostile armies, we may safely conclude thit the first necessity to the great rebel army of General Lee will be to disperse or to fall back to Richmond in search of provisions. Occupation vok Ex@Lanp—Fauves or THE Harvest.—Notwithstanding the efforts of the English tory journals to disguise the fact, we have now reliable statistics showing that the English harvest is a failure, and that for some time to come the population of Great Britain will be almost entirely dependent on us for food. For the last two months indications have been reaching us that the glowing accounis given of the harvest by "those journals had no actual foundation. They were fabricated to persuade us that the export of gold from this side was not likely to be checked by the export of breadstuffe, and that the depreciation of our currency, consequent upon the ste&dy onitlow of specie, was certain to involve us in irretriev- able financial embarrassments. For all the abuse and injury that have been lavished upon us by Englaud since the commencement of the war, we bave then an offset in the fact that she will bave to depend on us for some time to come for the means of feeding ber hungry mil- lions, There is nothing of speculation in this as- sumption. Our authority for it is the Gardener's Chronicle, one of the most reliable journals in England in connection with agriculture. The following is its resume of the prospects of the harvest :— There can be ne doubt that the whest harvest crop of 1862 8 ove of the worst we have had for mony yeara. there has always hitherto, on the occasion of these an+ nual rluens, been, among two hundred correspondents, a vousnerable proportion who have declared the crop to be oter average, even where the preponderance of opmiva and the uitimate experience lay all the other way. We have never before bad to report that of one hundred and ight reporters there is only one who speaks of ‘op 1a his neighborhood as being “vory good,’ and he is from an Irish county, whose wheat crop bas 10 great influence on the general supply of the yeat. And it is a still worse report of the tnformetion which has reached us, that, out of 188, there are no fewer than 150 who declare ihe crop to be inferior; ouly thirty-seven wio auticipate an ordinary return, Storms o1 wind, oe. her sary to be roots fallen before the secd was fully formed—* rea gum” and “mildew,” the couse. quence of an unkind!y summer—have produced their na- tural reenits—a deficient harves 3 above figures that the wheat crop is largely deficiont, and that burley is scarcely an average crop. In proportion os the former falls ehort, in the same proportion will the dependence of Great Britain on ibis country be inoreased, and ia the same ratio will our means of meeting the burden of war taxation be multiplied, even should Frencit in- tervention compel 1s to add to it. The English tory journals have no doubt taken ol} these facts into calculation, in shrinking from the consequences of the iaterforence which they at oe time invoked, They are probably now convinced that tieve is a Power watching over the fortunes of the republic, whose designs their jeaiouey vod even the corruptions and blunders © our own rulers cannot defeat. Tue Tak Levy. itis ifying to learn that, whi! © taxe clung augmented by ihe mid the Woy aof payers are ja- . . | budget. The rate of taxation of this‘city last ! year was $2 on a hundred of the assessed valuation. Comptroller Haws has succeeded in reducing the tax this year to $173, making areduction in our city and county taxes of about one million and a half—an item of some importance in these times. Tax Waote Norru ww Axwa.—The war fever ig at its height throughout the entire loyal States. Since the breaking out of this reckless re- bellion there never bas been a moment when the masses of the country were more resoived to crush it, The last week’s reverses in Virginia have only had the effect of intensifying this determination. The Governors of the New Eng- land States, with a war committee from this State, are now in conclave in Providence. The result of their deliberations will probably be to agree upon a general arming of all able bodied citizens and the formation of immense camps of reserve, to be in readiness for any emergency or for any turn which affuirs may take. The Governor of Pennsylvania bas already issued orders for the arming of all the citizens in that State, and in the great city of Cincinnati all ‘business has been suspended, and the people armed and set to work on fortifications, in anti- cipation of a rebel attack. The State of Ohio has been pouring in men to defend its great commercial city, and on all sidés the busy pre- parations for war are going on. This is the right spirit, and no slackening in it is to be thought of until the North is one grand military camp, and until the general government is thus enabled, by overpowering forces, to crush out rebellion and to bid defiance at the same time to a world in arms.

We have whipped the enemy in every skirmish yet. ‘The Grenada Appeal confirms the Union evacuation of Baton Rouge, but does not say that tho place is destroyed. From the same paper we learn that the guuboat Essex shelled Bayou Sara Sunday morning, and afterwards a boat's crew landed and burnt all the houses on the levee. The Essex aud transports then passed down the river, it 18 supposed for reinforcements, to St. Francisville. A skirmish between tho rebel pickets and a squad of ‘Uniouists took place on the 27th, near Greenville, Miss. Two Unionists were killed. In the rebel attack on Uniontown, Ky., they captured two hundred stand of arms and destroyed two hundred bales of cotton. 2 Mexruis, Sept. 2, 1862. HL P. Anderson, an attache of the British Legation at Washington, has arrived here, and recommends all bona fide British subjects to make declarations of their nation ality within fourteen days before the Provost Marshal of Memphis. By this means it is hoped that British subjects will be protected from the inconveniences which are in separable from a state of war. General Sherman publishes a card urging British gud jects to send in their names. ‘The Grenada Appeal of September 2 says that the forts below New Orleans bad surrendered to a ficet of rebel gunboats, aud that Baton Rouge has been evacuated by the fedorals and the forces taken to New Orleans to defend that piace.

The War Commitice met yesterday afternoon, with olosed doors, at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, oorner of Cedar and William streets. Ik we Tumorod, however, that the subject of discussion is the regulutions passed on Weduesday asking the government's consent 1 Generals Fremovt and Mitchel ratsing a division of 50,000, and, if the government refused, to ask pertatysion of the State, It is also rumored that quite u strong de- bate arose, but nothing definite was done, the majority of the members being in favor of rescinding the resolu- tions, ‘The following communication was also received from Lieutousnt Colonel Lloyd Aspinwall relative to the cor- reapondence between the members of the Chamber of Commerce and General Halleck :— Hgspyuarinns, [wanty-Secony Reaimznt N. ¥.5.

A telegraphic correspondence between the National War Committee and Major General H:lleck, published this morning, charges the regimonts of tue New York Stato Militia with rotusing to remain in the field when asked to do so. General Halleck goes further, and states that the danger was then ‘imminent, and, as they then refused, tuey will not now be recalled,’* I feel that justice to the soldiers of my command requires that I should publicly deny the stawment in so iar as it relates to my regimeat. The others will auswor for themselves, [ entertain a high regard and personal resect for tho Commauder-in-Cbie’, and feel that some blunder has boon committed, causing him, perbaps quite iunocently, to state what was not true, and what was ungenerous und unkind to those’ who have eodeayored to do ther duty. Many a soldier's honor will smart under the charge that they refused to semaiu when asked ty do se, at a time when there was danger; and | most distinctly state that no sugh request was made, direct|y or indirectly, of me or of wv regiment. Had it peea made Ihave no doubt it would lave been promptly and willingiy met. On two occasions when a dark cloud was hanging over our fair institutions, and the goverpment calle’ fur troops, the Seventh regiment marched at owes, without regard to personal sacri- tice, at the call. Let it be borne in mind that in both cases the service on the part of the regimcut was voloutary, and it would not be likely to ret: se its services undor tho eircumetances stated. it will be sven from the forlowing that the regiment was tn no hurry to loave:— Eicuta Anwy Corrs, Heavquartess, Muppie Derarryert, Battinoi agus: 24, 1S3e His Excellency E.
