OF WONDERS. £63 Broadway.— Gr Poa Broadway, There were rumors in town yesterday of the ac- tual crossing of the rebels into Maryland; and they created some excitement in Wall strect, but no where else, because the fact was not univer sally known. It was oven said that a force of one hundred thousamd rebels, it was reported, moved through Thoroughfare Gap on Wednesday, and marched towards Harper's Ferry. There is little doubt that some bodies of rebel cavalry have cross- ed the river, and probably have done so, and re- crossed if several times; but from our experience of the movements of the rebel cavalry heretofore, it is the opinion of eminent military men that these bodies are only the avant courriers of the army. One thing, however, is pretty certain, that if the enemy should succeed in crossing the Upper Potomac into Maryland in force, they will sccomplish nothing but their own destraction. The arrangements now made by Generals Halleck @nd McClellan are such as to insure their being cut offin such anevent. If the river should rise, asthe Rappahannock did after they crossed it, even for twenty-four honrs, that would be the last of the great rebel ariny. There is every in- dication, from the disgppearauce of the enemy from before Washington, that a severe battle is impending somewhere on the Upper Potomac. Considerable excitement also prevailed in Washington on Thursday evening, in consequence of reports that a hattle was going on twenty-eight miles up the river. at a point opposite Poolesville. The firing was heard at Falls Church. It was said that General Sumner’s corps had been thrown forward to intercept the enemy in his attempt to cross the river; but no official account of a fight had been made public. The latest news from the Upper Potomac, up to Tast evening, was that the rebels had crossed the rivor at Poiat of Recks, and gone back again Jackson was reported to have entered Leeshurg on Wednesday and was pushing towards Harper's Ferry, and that Longstreet was marching in the same direction. ‘This intelligence, comes from an individual source—namely, a man who professes to huve made his escape from Lees. however, burg and entered’ our lines. We have received confirmation, upon pretty good authority, of the statement. that the rebe! General Bragg is marching towards the Ohio river, through Western Virginia, with over 20,000 men. It is said that he passed through Chattanooga several days ago, and ‘was supposed to be gone to Knoxville. If this be correct, he would be directly on his route to Virginia, and it would not take him Jong, after passing that point, to get within the limits of the Old Dominion, where he may shortly be heard of én the Kanawha distriet, and there is nothing there to stop bim. General Cox has gone East, and hag feft less than 5,000 to protect that valley, aud there will be, therefore, nothing to hinder Bragg from striking the Ohio near the mouth af the Kana- wha. Should be succeed in reaching that stream | he can lay waste the conntry from Wheel- ing down to Ironton, Olio, and conld dnorease the excitement in Cincinnati. The important movements of General Buell’s army consequent upon the merches of the rebels north- ward are‘graphically described to-day by our cor- respondents, and well illustrated by 8 wap of the scone of operations.

The London Times takes the latest reports from the seat of war in Virginia as indicating the defeat of General McClellan, but the writer reveals the fact that the General’s atrictures in his book on the Crimean campaign, on the blunders of the Allies, still rankle in the hearts of Englishmen, snd that they are glad to hear of his tempory re- verses as & measure of revenge. The London Herald inveighs the conduct of our naval officers in maint the blockade. The Journal of St. Petersburg, the official organ of the Czar, contains an important article on the subject of the war in America and the division or reconstruction of the Union. The imperial journal avows the friendship of Russia towards the United States, and inclines to the opinion that the North- ern Executive can still recall the South to the Union, by proper management, and with slavery. The slavery question is discussed at some length in this Russian newspaper. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamship City of New York, from Queens- town on the 28th of August, passed Cape Race yesterday on her voyage to New York. Her news is four days later than the advices by the Asia, and a full telegraphic report from St. Johns New- foundland, is given in the Herat to-day. Consols closed in London on the 27th ultimo at 93% ao for money. The Liverpool cotton market was excited on the 27th of August, and prices advanced from one-half of a penny to a penny per pound, the market closing with an up- ward tendency. Breadstuffs were dull. The pro- vision market was very heavy and dull. It is said that the Prince of Wales will be mar- ried to a Princess of Denmark in the spring. The Paris Moniteur, in a significant paragraph, shows that Napoleon will protect the Pope agaiust the “insurrection of demagogues.”’ Indeed, the situa- tion of Italy wes very disquieting, owing to the action of Garibaldi, who had crossed from Catania to Calabria, The troops of the King of Italy had captared eight hundred of his followers. M. Rica- soli, of the Italian Cabinet, had gone to London to cousuit with Earl Russell, and Napoleon seemed in ill humor with the rule of Vietor Emanuel. Gari- baidi having issued an address, calling on the Hun- garians to arm,"General Klapa put forth a paper advising them against such a movement. The mails of the North Amevican reached this city from Quebec at an early hour yesterday morning, and the mails of the Asia were received from Boston in the evening. Our files and Euro- pean letters contain interesting details of the news telegraphed from Newfoundland and Hali- fax, dated to the 24th of Angast. Our news advices from South America are dated at Buenos Ayres the 17th, Rio Janeiro the 25th, Bakia the 27th, and Pernambuco the Sist of July. In Rio Janeiro a report was in circulation that Urguiza had despatched a secret agent to the go- vernment of Montevideo, to propose the forma+ tion, with the Eastern republic and the Argen- tine provinces of Corrientes and Entre Rios, of a new confederation, to rival that of which Buenos e centre. In the trade of Bucnos aight shows a slight improvement vions one. Saladeros had slaughter- over the p: od only 4,250 head of cattle, making 5 total of 278,000.

The gales embraced about 1,100 # 1,200 bales, at 523¢0. & S3c. for middling uplands, closing at the outside figure. The flour market, owing to the improve- ment in sterling exchange, was firmer, with rather more doing, whiie common and medium grades were fully 5c. Per bbi, higher.

Corn was firm, especially for prime qualities, with free gales, a large portion of which was in poor order. Good sound Western mixed sold at 60c.a6lc. Pork was better, with aales of mess at $11 623; a $11 75, and at $10 a $10 1234 for prime. Sugars were steady, while the sales embraced about },400 bhds. and 383 boxes.

The Great Struggle on the Potomec— The Impending Battle. There were rumors in circulation in this city yesterday that the rebels were crossing the Upper Potomac and invading “Maryland, with the intention of stirring up the disaffected ele- ment in that State and transferring the theatre of action to the vicinity of Baltimore, with the ultimate design of capturing Washington. We apprehend, however, that the only force that has as yet crossed the Potomac is simply a squad or two of cavalry to feel the way for the army, and ascertain if it will be safe for them to ford the Potomac with any considerable force. In closely watching the events of this war, as it is part of our duty as journalists todo, we bave noticed that all important movements of the rebel army have been preceded by cavalry raids to feel the way and ascertain the position of our forces. This was the case on the Chickahominy, and also in all the move- ments to get in the rear of Pope. The cavalry has invariably been the forerunner of the ad- vance of the rebel army. Aside from this, our advices reveal the fact that the bulk of the rebel army has disappeared from in front of Washington. Taking these facts into conside- ration, it is reasonable to suppose that they are concentrating their forces somewhere on the Upper Potomac, with the intention of crossing over into Maryland, should the leaders find such a movement practicable. It isa well known fact that the Potomac is exceedingly low at present, the water at many of the fords being only a few inches deep, and therefore easily crossed, not only by cavalry, but by light artillery. This state of things induces many to believe thai it is still the determination of the rebels to. carry out their original programme and transfer the contest to the soil of Maryland, and that there will soon be fought on the Upper Potomac the great battle of the rebellion. The critical po- sition of the rebellion renders this view proba- ble. Their army, from all accounts, must be in @ desperate condition. Leaying Richmond short of supplies, with the railroad bridges destroyed, they cannot, except with the great- est difficulty and delay, obtain food for the army from that quarter. The country in the neighborhood of Washington is entirely drain- ed, and the supplies captured from Pope will afford but little relief They were marched northward under the promise of crushing Pope and capturing Washington. To return now would disorganize and disband the army. They have therefore only the desperate alternative ef crossing the Potomac to obtain subsistence and aid from Maryland left them. Will they adopt this alternative ¢ The disposition of our forces at Washington by Generals Ualleck and McClellan furnishes a guarantee that if any considerable portion of the rebel army crosees the Potomac it will he divastrons to them, aud enable our geosrals to administer te the vebelliow its crushing blew. What, thevetore, locks vow like 2 des- perate crisis on our pari, mey. in reality, be the opening of the fioal triumph of the Union arms. There ie the most cordial feeling exist- ing between Generals Halleck and McClellav. The former bas oD numerons occasions de- claved that he cousidered McClelton one of the greatest living soldiers of the world. The hearty co-operation hetween them secures, beyond a doubt, unity of action and opera- tion equal to the exigencies of the moment. Should the rebel leaders, therefore, decide to divide their army by transferring a portion of it to Maryland, it will prove their ruin, by fur- nisbing our generals an opportunity of routing aay portion that they may desire, and easily fol- lowing the remnant to the gates of Richmond. The eritical position of the rebels. their necessity of immediately making another desperate effort, the ekilfal and rapid preparations at Washing- ton, clearly point to the fact that the two ar- miey are on the eve of another importan teat. and that the great batty of the roar will, within the news ten days, be fought somechere on the Upper Peotone. Under this condition of affuire it is clearly the duty of the Governors of the loyal States to drop all perseval and pollties! considera- tions, avd push forward with the greatest pos- sible despatch every volunteer within their power. Send them on by regiments; if a regi- ment cupnot be got ready, send on a battalfoa; if they have not # battalion, send ov 4 com- pany, and, if there is no company ready, spond op the mep by syuade o6 fast ay they voluuteer, and fot let them be Joitering around the hotels, berrooms and 4rinking ealoons, while the battle that ie to de cide the fate of the rebellion is raging. Theve is now unity in counsels at Washington, fall an} cordial co-operation between Generale Halleck. McClellan and the departments, and jet thia be snstained by forwarding every yolunteera and not wait until they are eupplied with gnns, Let there be no delay because the volunteer's tin cup is not ready. There is a plenty of ali that be needs in Washington, and it is the imperative daty of the Goveraors to see that every soldier is where he can render agsistance in thie impending battle. Ji is ne time to falter or hesitate about trifles. The coun- try needs their services, qnd it is the first duty of the Governors to see Nhat every soldier ir forwarded without a moment's delay. We want no dallying, and this is the time. the hour, for the State officials to show themeelves equal to important emergencies, Will their efforts be commensurate with the exigencies of the hour and equal to the expectations of the country? On their promptness may rest the fate of the impe nding batile. Within a Wek or More. Our leading radical abolition organs—t.’? Anti-Slavery Standard, the Independent, the New York Tribune, the Evening Post and their echoes throughout the country—seize upon every disaster to our arms for a concerted howl against our principal generals in the field and against the administration. « Thus these howling dervishes of abolitionism are now employed in canvassing our late mili- tary operations, blunders and reverses in Virgi- nia. They denounce the President and his poli- cy as temporizing, truckling and imbecile; they have no faith in General Halleck; they will give “no quarter” to General McClellan; while, according to the Trilune, it is now abundantly proved that General Pope is incompetent to command a great army, and General McDowell is Iiftle better than a traitor. We select a few passages from the Tribune’s Washington cor- respondence. At Bull run “fhe army was not defeated: its commander was outgeneralled. He neither knew where his enemy was, nor would suffer himself to be informed.” Pope trusted to MoDowell. “McDowell fought the battle.” “It was a blunder from the begin- ning.” “It is useless, said an officer, to fight under McDowell.” “Ido not know whether I have heard treachery or imbecility most fre- quently imputed to McDowell. Perhaps oftenest he is given the benefit of the alterna- tive.” “If the War Department be allowed to do what its head wishes to do, there will be a court of inquiry into the causes of our recent disasters,” &c., &c. The reverend military editor of the Inde- pendent is equally violent against the morbid caution “of General McClellan, and the weakness of the President in retaining him as a peace offering to the democratic party.” And, if we may believe the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, the only general capable of leading our armies to certain victory is General Fremont. The Tribune, Post and otherjournals of the same school are equally partial to Fre. mont; but, for reasons best known to them- selves, they have ceased to be very active in urging his claims upon the President. They may perhaps entertain the Idea that the fifty thousand men whom our New York War Com- mittee propose to raise for Fremont, with or without the consent of the general government, will enable him to repair all our army blunders and disasters of the last six months, and drive the rebel army of Virginia down into the Gulf of Mexico. Let us be patient. “Rome was not built in a day.” But all the blunders of all our generals, in the estimation of our abolition critics on the war, are declared chargeable to that greatest of all military blunders, the refusal of the President to issue an edict of emancipation in behalf of the negro slaves of our rebellious States. That is the point where the shoe pinches. Such a proclamation, we are told, is the one thing need- ful, without which we can do nothing against this rebellion, but with which we can do every- thing, as by some miraculous power. Congress has passed a law upon this subject, says Greeley; why does not the President enforce the law? Greeley harps upon this string from day to day, aud all his abolition croakers and skriekers join in the chorus. Issue a proclamation of emancipation, and the rebellion, they cry, is at once put down. Against such besotted fanaticism argu- ment is wasted, and common sense is thrown away. We might let this aboli- tion faction, therefore, pass, if there were not something of method in its mad- ness, and something of treachery to the Union cause. But, to silenee this opposition clamor, would it not be well for President Lin- coln to issue « proclamation of emancipation— & universal proclamation, declaring forever free, not only the slaves of our rebellions St but of all other States throughout the world, sud in al} the islands of the sea? Why not? Would not such a proclamation be as much regarded in Cuba, Brazil or in the heart of Africa as beyond the lines of our armies in our rebellions States? Let the President, then. issue a universal proclamation of freedom to all the sieves of every nation, province and tribe on the face of the globe, Juding especially the slaves of the African King of Dahomey. That black ras- cal is, in tenth, a moet atrocious slaveholder. He not only takes the lives of his prisovers and his sabjects at his discretion, but on grand occa- sions he roasts them, stews them and eats them, and without salt. The arrival of several slavers on his seacoast with a good supply of rum is the signal for a slave hnut among the adjoining tribes, resulting sometimes in the slaughter of thousands to capture a few huadreds: aad when his black barbarian Majesty dies the heads of thousands of bis loving subjects ave chopped off by his successor in office, © give due solemnity to the funeral. Hence we think that, as @ proclamation of emancipation from President Lincoln will be as effective at thie time in Africa as in South Carolina, it should, if isened, be made to reach the King of Dabo- mey. The subject bas lately been discussed in Ca- bjnet council; but it appears that the influence of Mr. Scoveta'y Seward prevailed against a proclamation. The question, bowever, may soon come up again, and then, to silence our clanoreus abolition faction, and to make a complete thing of it, we eubmit that, if a procla- mation of freedom shall be agreed upon, it ought to embrace all the slaveholdivg uations od tribes on the globe, und especially that wodet African kingdom of Dabome¥. Reow. Peivarners at Laxow.—Ip another column we publish a brief agcount of two rebel war veseels which bave escaped the vigilance of our federal ernisers. The one is known as the Oreto, the other av the 290. These ves- sels were built in Kugtand. and sailed thenee for Nassau, with ulterior views. They are now at large, with how many others it is impossible to say. prowling about the seas for the destruc- tion of Northero commerce. We call the attention of the Navy apartment to these facts. Now that we have an effisient navy-—tron-clad and osherwise-—to cover the whole Gull and all the waterr of the Babamas, not one of those rebel vessels should be perinitted to exist.

Tum Tax on Newsrarens—Ins Orenatiox.— | commission on the cotton that has been seized The burdens imposed by the war on the news- Paper press, in common with every other in- terest, will effect a remarkable revolution in its present status. The necessity for economy in buviness, as well as social arrangements, which will gcow out of the new order of things, will tend to retrench not only the number of exist- ing journals, but the amount of circulation and advertising patronage enjoyed by the greater portion of them. Where n has ' in the habit of buying two or thi ») spapers daily, he will now content himself with one, and that will naturally be the journal which gives him the best value for his money. In advertising he will use still greater circum- spection. He may alteroate the journals that he reads, and yet spend only the price, of one; but he cannot alternate his choice of an ad- vertising medium without injury to his business. The newspaper that circulates the most widely must ever command his patronage. He will reason, and reason justly, that a single adver- tisement in the Henatp, which has a circulation of over 120,000, and is read by nearly 500,000 persons daily, offers him greater advantages on the score of economy than half a dozen adver- tisements in the other dailies, whose combined circulation does not equal that amount. For- merly, when the rates of advertisements were lower, and when we had little or no taxation to support, this consideration was not of so much importance to him; but now that he has to weigh the value of every cent that he expends, he can no longer afford to disregard it. It is noteworthy how these influences are al- ready beginning to affect our daily contempo- raries. Take, for example, their theatrical columns for the past fértnight, and it will be found that the advertisements under this head have either been greatly curtailed or altogetier omitted. No class have greater need of pub- licity than managers, and if they have found it necessary to retrench in this way we can judge of the effect that will be produced on the ex- penditure of advertisers generally. Of course the papers that cannot continue to command the business patronage of the public under the new order of things have only the choice of two alternatives—to suspend publication or to raise the price of their issues. There are but few of tlem that possess sufficient interest to justify them in resorting to the latter expedi- ent; so that the result will be that a large pro- portion of the existing newspapers, weekly and daily, but especially the former, will pass out of existence. If, as we believe, the tone and character of the remaining journals will under- goan improvement commensurate with their increased responsibilities, we do not see that there will be any reason to deplore the diminu- tion of the number. Unwarrantanie INTERrERENCE wits Recruit- wa.—A_ handful of individuals in this city, calling themselves a National War Com- mittee, have proposed to raise fifty thoui- sand troops, to be placed under the com- mand of Generals Mitchel and Fremont. As it was known to the committee that General Mitchel had already been assigned to Hunter’s command, on the coast of South Carolina, the object is, of course, to place General Fremont at the head of the 50,000 men. Where is their authority fer such a step? The commit- tee do not inform us in what way these menare to be used—-whether as an independent corps, or under the direction of the government. We want no imperium in imperio, and no im- pudent Jacobin Committee. We have no ob- jection to General Fremont and his friends raising 50,000 men. That would be doing some- thing for the country. But let them be placed at the disposal of the government, where they will be distributed among the corps whose ranks need to be filled up, or a proper commander will be assigned to them; for cer- tain it is that Fremont is not the right man to lead 50,000 men. To attempt te raise an independent corps at a time when the government needs re cruits to fill up the old decimated regi- ments, is anything but judicious. To say the least, the tendency is to prevent enlistments. The federsl government ought to have the management and contrel of sll troops for the war.und, if any are needed in ad- dition for the defence of the State, let the Governor wate the course of the Gover- nor of Pennsylvania, and raise them; but we object to any but the constituted authorities taking charge of such matters, Let law and order be observed, and confusion avoided. Meantime let the committee beware of violating the order of Secretary Stanton, or they will very soon Gnd themselves in the same quarters with the ten members of au insurance agency, who prematurely undertook to procure substitutes fot drafted sen. Moar Gur ix tue Coxripence Sursritere Lixn.--The managers of the World are still ve- wailing the stopping of their confidence busi- nevs in the substitute line, and have evidently not been able as yet to devise any other con- fidence dodge to make up for the loss of their anticipated profits in that business. The dis- charge of Mr. Ballard, one of the parties ar- rested for engaging in the substitute agency, instead of soothing the World, only increases its wrath, and is made @ text for another assault upon Seoretary Stauton. Greeley, beving con- fewed that he was the informer in this business, and thet through bis infinence with the Secre- tary of War he secured the arrest of the sabsti- tate agent, now remains silent, and offers no exquse tor instigating thegvhole affair: Perhaps {f he would come out with another of his “Just Once” contevsions, and explain the real motives that prompted him to become informer, the whole affuir might be easily settled, the bilious stomach of the World settled and the Secretary of War saved from further attacks. It is, how- over, said that the articles in the World are prompted by Thurlow Weed, who i indignant at Secretary Stanton for not allowing the five per cent commissions #0 prevalent at the com- inencement of the war, and that this is only a movement to place some one else in his place who will at least exhibit five per cent patriot- ism towards the suflering contractore. Strange things happen in these days of war.
