An important reconnoissance was made to Leesburg on Sunday, the 5th inst., by way of Nolgn’s Ferry, with the Fortieth New York regiment. Colonel Egan, where they captured a rebel wagon train, which, among other things, contained the personal effects and official papers of the rebel General Longstreet, and a good deal of army supplies, tents, and so forth. Several fine horses, beef cattle, and a caisson filled with ammunition were also captured. A grand review of General Sigel’s troops, by General Banks, took place yesterday at Fairfax Court House, and was a very fine affair. In a speech, made on the occasion of presenting a flag to the Sixty-first Ohio regiment, General Sigel paid a high compliment to General Banks, saying that he was entitled to the thanks of the country for his bravery and military skill. Various rumors of a vague and unreliable char- acter, astoa change in the Cabinet are rife in Washington since the President's return from the army. It is saif' that General McClellan is to be made Commander-in-Chief—General Hooker to take his place in the Army of the Potomac—and that General Banks is to be Secretary of War- Such is the gossip upon this subject. We give further details of a most interesting character of the battle at Corinth to-day. The attack was commenced on Friday by the rebels, and it is evident that on that day, and during the early portion of the renewed battle on Saturday, the enemy being superior in num- bers, and fighting with the utmost despera- tion, gained considerably on our troops, having twice entered the town, The skilful generalship of Rosecrans, however, and the gallantry of the ‘Western men under him, soon turned the fortune of the day. The rebels were met by a terrific bayonet charge, under which they wavered and finally fell back in full retreat, suffering ter- wibly. Their loss in this charge is saidto be twenty to our one. Our loss in killed was comparatively small. With the exception of General Hackleman, the loss of no general officer on our side is reported. On the other hand the loss of the rebels in officers was very heavy, Colonels Johnson, Rogers, Ross, Morton, McLaine and Major Jones being killed, and Colonels Daly and Pretch severely wounded. Our latest news from Kentucky is from Louis- ville, dated yesterday, when it was stated that General Morgan had reached Frankfort with his ad- vance at one o'clock P. M., and that three thou- sand more of his men were hurrying up. Mean- time our forces had pushed on towards Lawrence- purg. It was reported that a company of the Jiinth Kentucky cavalry had been cut off by the }:bel Colonel Scott's cavalry, near Hardinsville, on jaturday, and that Lieut. Morris, commanding, was shotby the rebels after his capture. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The Hamburg steamship Saxonia, Captain Bhlers, which left Southampton on the 24th of September, in the afternoon, arrived off the Bat- tery at half-past two o'clock yesterday morning. The screw steamship City of Washington, Captain Mierhouse, which left Liverpool at eleven o'clock A. M. on the 24th and Queenstown on the 25th ultimo, arrived at this port athalf-past two o'clock yesterday morning. The news by both vessels has been anticipated by the telegraphic reports of the City of Washington and Jura, from Newfound- land, published in the Hxnanp last Saturday and Monday. Our files from Europe are, however, three days later than the journals previously re- veived, and contain the details of the news ef the gfth of September. A ratification meeting of the Republican Union oominations for State officers was held last evening in the Cooper Institute, d was very largely attended. William Cur' oyes presided, and made an earnest and strong speech, which was vociferously applauded, in support of the eman- cipation proclamation of the President and of General McClellan's order to tho army on that subject. He was followed by Daniel S. Dickinson and Lyman Tremaine. A report“of the proceed- inge will begound in our dolumns. Our correspondent in Belize, Honduras, writing on the 10th of September, says that the Legisla- ture had met in extra session, and passed an act to facilitate the importation from the United States and Yucatan of free colored laborers.

BL NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, OUTOBER ¥, 1862. i yt ieee tate Gheak which rivale rouge and makes the eyes sparkle with a bril- liancy which counterfeits health. New York is now enjoying a feverish gayety which some persons mistake for prosperity, but which is only a new development of the excitement of fully authorized agent may be expected in this | Our Approaching State Blections and the country immediately, with a view t - carry out its provisions. Her Britannic Majesty’s steamer Styx wasin the harbor of Belize. She has had three one hundred pounder Armstrong guns added to her armament. The mahogany and logwood mar- kets were declining, and the woods coming in in abundance. Cochineal was likely to be scarce and high. Provisions were plenty and cheap. The writer adds:—‘‘ There have been three more car- goes of cotton brought here from the Confederate States, all of which will reach your city by the James Welsh, and we expect reach a good mar- ket.” The election for Mayor and members of the City Couneil in Baltimore was held yesterday, and passed off quietly. Hon. John Lee Chapman, the nnconditional Union candidate, was elected by a majority of over seven thousand. The vote polled was a very smail one. All the candidates for Coun- cilmen on the regular Union ticket, with one ex- ception, were‘also elected. Colonel Albert V. Colburn, of General McClel- lan’s staff, was some days since presented by John Jacob Astor, of this city, with a splendid horse, trappings, accoutrements and equipments necessary for an officer of Col. Colburn’s rank. We mention this fact again, in order to call atten- tion to another similar presentation. Colonel Thomas E. Chickering, commander of the Massa- chusetts Forty-first regiment, hgs been the recipi- ent of like favors from his friends in Boston. Gen. W. T. Sherman, in command at Memphis, has ordered that for every boat that is fired on ten secession families shall be expelled from the city. The First Minnesota regiment seems to have great difficulty in keeping a commanding officer One after another Col. Gorman, Col. Dana and Co}. Sully were taken from its head, and promoted to brigadier gencrals. The Granada (Mississippi) Appeal has intelli- gence of two more naval engagements. One took place on St. John’s river, where five of our gun- boats were knocked into splinters, and the other was in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in the cap- ture, by the famous “‘290,”’ of a United States fri- gate. Illinois has raised one hundred and thirty-nine thousand troops, of all descriptions, for the war. Eighteen regiments are yet in the State awaiting orders. The Toronto Leader justifies the rebels in their threat to raise the black flag, on the ground that it is in retaliation of Gen. Butler's order in New Orleans concerning uncommon women. The amount of wheat raised in Upper Canada in 1860 was 24,620,425 bushels. Gen. Buell’s baggage train, which arrived safe at Louisville on the 3d inst., was twenty miles long, and was composed of eighteen hundred wa- gons and ten thousand horses. Impressive religious services were held in Trini- ty church yesterday. The day, by resolution of the House of Bishops and House of Clerical and Lay Delegates, ingeneral convention assembled, was appointed one of humiliation and prayer inthe Church for peace. Special prayers for the speedy return of sick and wounded soldiers, and those who may die in battle, are appointedto be read. A large congregation joined in the services. Richard S. Downing was yesterday convicted in the Court of General Sessions of manslaughter in the second degree, he having been indicted for murdering his wife on the 24th of August. The prisoner was remunded for sentence. The trial of Mrs. Mary Real for the murder of her husband, at his office in Broadway, in June last, was commenced yesterday, and attracted a numerous auditory. The proceedings, which are interesting, will be found in another column. They will become more so as the prosecution advances and the theory of the defence is developed. The British operative relief fund in Quebec amounts to $7,913. The advent of fall generally brings with it a rise in the Western rivers, and we may soon look for a renewal of active operations by our Mississipi and Ohio flotillas. Commodore Davis is again on deck, and it is said that a blow will soon be struck at the rebellion in the Southwest that will stagger Jeff. Davis’ bogus confederacy. The Governor of Ohio has decided that notaries public, justices of the peace and constables are not to be considered county officers, and are, there fore, subject to draft. The bears renewed their attack upon the stock market yeeterday, and though prices in the forenoon were gene- rally better than on Tuesday, they reacted in the after- noon, closing at about Tuesday's rates. Governments were better and firm. Money was abundant at 5 per cent. Exchange rose to 138, and gold to 125. The Scoyja took out $1,300,000. The cotton market was without animation yesterday, though sales embraced about 800 bales, based chiefly on middling uplands at 5c. Flour was in good demand, chieily from the home trade. The market was firmer, and common and Western grades were full de. per bbl. higher, while good to choice family extras were unchanged. Wheat was in good request, and prices advanced from 1c. a 2c. per bushel, Corn was firmer for good sound Western mixed, anil closed at an advance of about lc. per bushel. Pork was active and firmer, with sales of mess at$11 873; a $12, and of prime at $10 25 a $10 3734. Lard was aso firm Sugars were steady, with sales of 600 bhds. and 724 boxes. Coffee was firm. Sales of 3,000 bags of Itio were made at 243¢¢., and 3,700 do. common Santos at 28%¢. Freighis were rather casier, while fair amount of en- gagements were made. Rumors ix Wat Srreet.—Wall street was filled with rumors yesterday. One rumor was that McClellan’s army was defeated by the rebels at Martinsburg, and had lost forty thou- sand men. Another was that poor Greeley had been appointed generalissimo of those nine hun- dred thousand abolition recruits, with orders to proceed to South Carolina and open negro schools. Another was that General McClellan had been made General-in-Chief, vice General Halleck, who had taken the field with Buell’s army. Another was that the President was consulting with the Cabinet upon the expedi- ency of arresting Governor Seymour, Jimmy Brooks and Fernando Wood, shutting up Tam- many Hall and selling Mozart Hall to pay its debts. Another was that England and France had intervened, and sent over several thousand iron-clad vessels, covered with six-inch plates, to open Charleston harbor. Another was that the rebels had become scared to death at the emancipation proclamation, and hoisted the white flag. Another was that Senator Sumner had enlisted and Senator Anthony resigned his seat. It is only necessary to say that most of these rumors came from Wall street to demon- strate their untruth. Tae Rarroaps axp THE War Tax.—A tax has been put on the receipts of rail- road companies, by section 80 of the Excise Tax law, at the rate of “three per centum of the gross receipts of such railroad,” &c. The New Haven Railroad Company, instead ef bear- ing the tax themselves, as is the intention of the act, fasten it on the travelling public, and at arate far exceeding the amount levied and demanded by the government. For instance, the fare to New Rochelle has been and should still be forty-five cents, the tax on which would ‘be less than one cent and a half; but an addi- tional five cents, or eleven per cent, is put on by the company as a war tax. Thus the people are made to pay the New Haven Company a premium of nearly fOnr hundred per cent for the enforced privilege of paying the company’s e ~~ Great Iseuc. On Tuesday next State elections will come off in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, involving, each, from two opposing tickets in the field, the choice of several State officers, members of both branches of the State Legisla- ture, and a full delegation to the House of Re- presentatives at Washington. In ordinary times here would be matter for a universal elec- tioneering agitation among all classes of our people; but now there is neither public curlosi- ty, excitement nor interest upon the subject to any extent, although these elections may deter- mine the political complexion of the next Con- Why is this? How are we to account for this apparent and extraordinary public in- difference to such a schedule of Congressional elections, so close at hand, and all oc- curring on the same day? The solution may be given in the single word rebellion. The public mind, with the energies of our loyal States, is absorbed in the grand and paramount work of putting down this Southern rebellion. It is the engrossing, the vital and the only living ques- tion of the day. In the presence of this tro- mendous issue al the paltry divisions, distinc- tions, quibbles, claptrap and moonshine of our political parties sink into insignificance and public contempt. In the midst of this sublime struggle to save the life of the nation the masses of our loyal people are not disposed to recog- nize anything else as worthy their attention, and our mousing politicians of all parties, with their petty and contemptible intrigues and schemes, must be content to stand aside and wait for a more convenient season in order to command the public attention. The masses of our loyal people cheerfully re- cognize in President Lincoln the legitimate, re- sponsible and trustworthy head of our govern- ment; that the conduct and the issues of this war are in his hands; that his patriotism is en- titled to our confidence, and that this war, which may be triumphantly ended for the Union before the close of the present year, can- not possibly be protracted by the exhausted rebellious States of the South to the end of Mr. Lincoln’s term of office. Our loyal people, therefore, are now devoted to the one grand idea of bringing this war to an end as soon as possible, under the management and direction of President Lincoln. Whatever, then, may be the peculiar shades - of difference between the opposing Congres- sional tickets in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana or Iowa, the general results of these elections will be decided by the public judgment, between this or that ticket, as the one or the other may be regarded the best in view of an earnest and harmonious prosecution of the war. Nor do we imagine that such secondary questions as the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, or the enforcement of the Confiscation act, will materially affect the judgment of the people upon this main ques- tion—the vigorous prosecution of the war. The great object with our loyal people is to defeat and disperse the armies of this rebellion. Let this be accomplished, and with the submission of our rebellious States the questions of the habeas corpus, and of confiscation, and of eman- cipation, will cease to trouble us, and the re- vival of our spoils and plunder seeking political parties will be open for the public considera- tion. The great and engrossing question, mean- time, of the speedy suppression of the armed forces of this rebellion, will control these im- pending elections. We may rest assured, too, that the results, though they may, perhaps, as- tonish and confound our huckstering politi- cians, will be understood and respected by the President, and as endorsing his policy of conduct- ing this war, not for the universal abolition of slavery, Union or no Union, but for the speedicat restoration of the Union, even though it may involve the preservation of their local institutions with the submission of our rebel- lious States. Unscrvputous Perversion oF THe TRUTH oF History.—Mr. Cassius M. Clay says Jefferson went down to his grave melancholy because he saw that slavery menaced the existence of this great people. Now, when the Declaratioh of Independence was drawn up by Jefferson every one of the thirteen colonies held slaves, and Jefferson himself was a slaveholder then and to the day of his death. When the constitution was adopted, eleven years afterwards, every State but Massachusetts held slaves. Mr. Clay admit+:— ‘There is some responsibility in tho constitution for tho existence of slavery in tue South. ‘There is the clause for returning fugitives, and the clause pledging the govern- ment to put down insurrection in the South, Mr. Clay does not disguise the fuct that he would sweep away the constitution by revolu- tion, and instead of suppressing servile insur- rection he would say to the negroes, “Run for it; defend yourselves and fight for your liberties.” Now, Jefferson declared that his fear was not that slavery would cause any evil to the gov- ernment, but anti-slavery or abolitionism; and so sensitive was he about the meddling of the fanatical crew of New England, even in 1820, when they forced the Missouri Compromise— the first overt act of rebellion against the con- stitution—that he called it “the knell of the Union,” and said the announcement of the mea- sure “alarmed him like a fire bell at night.” Such are the desperate expedients that unscru- pulous politicians like Cassius M. Clay are driven to, venturing, as they do, to falsify the notorious facts of American history. Tue Ossecr or THE War.—The Jacobins of France tore down all government, but built up none. Our Jacobine are doing the very same thing. When the war began, its object was the restoration of the Union. Now the radicals de- clare that this object is changed, and that uni- versal freedom is substituted. Universal free- dom is apretty phrase; but what do the radicals mean by it? Do they mean that if our armies conquer the rebels before the Ist of January the radicals will not permit the war to end un- til slavery is abolished? Do they thus promise us another civil war here at the North, with in- discriminate cutting, slashing and hanging? Or suppose the war be not over by the Ist of January, are we then to free ali the slaves, en- courage servile insurrections, depopulate the South, take the seceded States back with only their black population remaiaing, organize emi- grant societies to repeople that part of the Union, and thus enter upon a tremendous series of gigantic experiments in regard to free and slave labor, amalgamation and other such prob- lems, which will convulse the world and ruin the nation? Who can say what the end will be? The end of a Jacobin war is indefinite ay, undecided, and depends entirely upon che,nce and circumstances. The American pegple ‘want no such war, the theatres have reached an unprecedented length, asthe audiences are unprecedented in size, and one can see several tragedies, numer- the war. When the fever is over the patient is languid and spiritless, and often subject to cold and painful chills. When the war is over our sudden chill will come, and we may esteem ourselves fortunate if we are not shaken to pieces, Wall street is giddy with excitement. Gold has risen to twenty-five per cent premium; but paper is plentiful, and engravers and printers easily transform it into cash. In the rebel States it is reported on good authority that a woman’s head drawn ona piece of brown paper will pass for any amount the holder pli It has not quite come to that with us yet; but certainly it is a great wonder that any one is poor now while paper notes are so common, The indefatigable Barnum himself would be puzzled to find a poverty stricken broker in Wall street now-a-days. Every man you meet is rich, and will be richer to-morrow. The bulls toss stocks higher than ever, and the most inveterate bears have bor- rowed two horns and a tail, and outbully the bulls. Such a rapid increase of business and such a sudden influx of wealth no one has ever seen in this country before. The greenest operator has only to buy to-day, sell out to- morrow, and be rich. There is no choice among stocks when all are going up so mar- vellously. The Stock Exchange is a great lot- tery in which evtry one draws a prize; but those who hold their tickets too long will find them blanks. Wall street is an El Dorado where every man can pocket all the money he pleases. The very apple women along the sidewalks caunot avoid feeling wealthy, and to the inexperienced eye resemble that famous old lady of Threadneedle street, London, who owns the Bank of England. Meanwhile our importers of silks and laces and our leading jewellers are selling their finest goods at the highest prices. The carriages of shoppers surround Stewart’s in such numbers as to make Broadway almost impassable. Ball & Black turn their jewelry into money faster: than they can turn their money into jewelry. Diamonds of the first water are almost as com- mon asthe Croton. The Central Park boasts more new equipages than trees. The theatres are crowded nightly. Booth and Forrest, like rival locomotives, vie which can draw the largest number of people. Lester Wallack has been compelled to increase his personal attrac- tions in order to keep up with the night- ly increase in the array of his fair admirers. Hackett grows jollier, fatter and more Falstaffian at every performance. Laura Keene thinks seriously of enlarging her little theatre. In the absence of legitimate opera the burnt cork prime donne are in great favor, as the inevitable negro always isin this country. On the east side of town the programmes at ous melodramas and innumerable farces at the same theatre during asingle evening. Mana- gers go about with wrinkled brows, pondering what they will do with so much money. Ope- ratic impresarios accuse themselves of insanity because they have distrusted the season and left themselves nobody with whom to make opera. Princely residences are building on Fifth avenue, and the most costly furniture is ordered at the best manufactories. Men make seventy-five thousand dollars in a week, and spend it as if they were determined to get rid of it ina month. Even poor Greeley has be- come extravagant, has purchased a new second hand hat, and visited the theatre to take a les- son in amalgamation from “Othello.” It were as useless to attempt to calm this feverish excitement as to try to find a sensible radical leader or a negro who rejoices at the prospect of Chiriqui. The warning horn of the Angel Gabriel himself would be unheard in the roar of business, the rattle of carriages, the rustle of silks and the clatier of heedless tongues. Still we cannot refrain from advising those who are now making such magical for- tunes to be content, and to secure them safely in some substantial form. That was a wise Wall street speculator who, having become unexpectedly wealthy by a rise in the market, retired to the rural districts, and could not be persuaded to reside in New York again, fearful that at some unlucky moment he might be tempted to make another venture, and so lose all he had gained. Most of the money made now will be like that of the Arabian magician, which turned to dried leaves in the hands of the holders. When the war is over, and the ex- citement dies with it, what will those fancy stocks be worth which now sell at such a pre- mium? When stocks fall, what will become of those who have bought them at high prices? When taxes have to be paid, and the national debts have to be settled, and the government currency has to be redeemed, where will be our newly rich people? But the war is not over yet, aad stocks are rising still, and the Treasury currency is as good as gold, though twenty-five per cent below the specie standard, and so the excitement continues, and no one stops to think. If wisdom and the Herat ery aloud in the streets in vain, people must blame themselves and their deaf ears when the final inevitable crash comes upon us. Government Fravps.—There are rumors of government frauds of the most extensive char” acter. We fear there is too much ground for them. Let the truth come to light. It will not do to keep back the facts from the people. In the case of the Indiana State bonds movements are being now made to make a scapegoat of one individual, who is indicted. The evidence in the case shows that men in this city are the victims of the officials in Indiana, and that they knew all about the frauds and reaped the bene- fit. In truth, they compounded with a felony; and are liable to be indicted themselves. There are officials connected with the federal government who are believed to. be in the same predicament. The frauds are of an enormous character. Indeed these frauds may be estimat- ed by a fact which is notorious—viz: that in the retreat of General McClellan from the Chickahominy to the James river millions worth of property was destroyed deliberately, when it might have been saved. This was the case at the White House and at other points. ‘fhe object of the destruction was to charge the government double or treble the amount lost, whereas, if it had been saved, no money could have been made by the trandaction. Under such circumstances, is it not almost impossible for the cause of the Union to ? The ‘| soqundrels ought to be hung from the first tro, journals and at the public meetings of the fac- The Signs of the Times. we are only in the commencement of our troubles. Madnessrules the hour. It was sup- posed that the civil war would be confined to the rebellious States. There is now every rea- son to believe that the loyal States will not be exempt from the usual calamity of civil war, which is to visit every portion of the country in which it breaks out. The address of Cassius M. Clay, delivered in Brooklyn on Tuesday, and published in yester- dey’s Heraxp, is most significant. Mr. Clay was recently the American Minister to Russia, and from this very fact must be regarded as a re- presentative man, entitled to express the views his party. What does he say? Sofar from finding fault with Abraham Lincoln, ho rather found fault with him that he had not susponded the habeas corpus, not by # dash of the pen, but by the round the necks of these traitors. ‘A. Voice—We'll hang them yet. Mr. CLay—Yes, sir—the hanging of such mon as Gnd Wood would have saved thousands of honest lives. fie, Guax—That ts true phitan! ‘Applause and lanai us Philanthropy. (App! Quite in keeping with this Robespierreian de- Claration is another from the same expounder of the abolition programme. He says:— It was a delusion to au that liberty could be es- tablished on this coutineat when. the sident of the United States and the people of the United States had not the courace to do what was right. Therefore, said he, spot not General Boyle; spot the President of the Uni'ed States; spot tho heads of departments; spot your military chiol- tains; spot thoxewho would have “the Union as it was,” and free yourselves from responsibility, He goes on to say:— Let us not have, I pray you, the Union as it was. * * * ‘The Union as it was—what did it bring but rebellion and bloodshed, war and desolation. From the foregoing it would seem that to President Lincoln alone we are indebted for the preservation of the government from total overthrow; its salvation hitherto against the re- volutionary designs of the radicals, who are driving him on from point to point, but have rot yet succeeded in forcing him to the last point, of hanging all who differ in opinion from them. The views of Mr. Clay correspond exactly with the opinions promulgated in the radical tion to aid the election of its candidates. So emboldened are these men that they openly announce their designs, no longer caring t conceal their bloody programme. For in- stance, at a meeting of theirs, held in the Fif- teenth ward, at which Henry J. Raymond and Charles A. Dana were present, it was proposed by George W. Blunt, and resolved, that “Every vote given for Horatio Seymour is a vote for treason;” and Erastus C. Benedict proclaimed Seymour as “the traitors’ c:ndidate.” These are the principles on which this sanguinary fac- tion hope to be successful, and the principles which they will undoubtedly carry out if suc- cess should crown their struggle. The people have fair warning. But so apathetic are they, and so little alive to danger, that we have rea- son to think they will let the election go by de- ult. Asin other revolutions, violence pre- vails, and wisdom and moderation are trampled under foot. The men who start revolutions seldom have the privilege of guiding them to their destination. The French philosophers who originated the Revolution of 1793, and ihe republigans of the Girondist school, who mere. ly sought reforms, were swept away in thou- sands by the radical Jacobins, who went ahead of them, and the guillotine had no rest by night or by day. It was the same in the case of Crom- well, whose army demolished the Parliament which had beheaded the King, because it did not go far enough for the ideas of the Round- heads. It will be the same with the radicals; and when they dare now to appeal to the peo- ple on the principles and ideas they have announced, what may we not expect when they obtain full possession of power in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and other States once conservative? Let us look out for scenes as bloody and as dark as any which appalled the world during the despotism of Cromwell or “the Reign of Terror” in the French Revolution. We warned the moderate conservative republi- cans that they would be forced forward by the fanaticism behind them, and that the time would come when they would have to play the part of bloody, remorseless revolutionists, or be crushed to atoms under the wheels of the car of the abolition Juggernaut. Those predictions are now receiving a remarkable fulfilment. Mr. Sew- ard, and other men of his stamp, scorned the very idea of the fanatics ever obtaining the control of the federal government or of the State governments. But what has that heartbroken statesman to say now? Is he not powerless to arrest the fearful progress of the revolutionary tempest that rages over the land, and threatens all things with desolation, The politicians played with abolitionism. They only sowed the wind; but now they reap the whtlwind. From all that we can see, the radi- cals in the ensuing elections will make a clean sweep of the whole North. Then may we ex- pect the price of hemp to go up; and when hanging fails to cut short the existence of enough of traitor democrats, other processes, like the “noyades of Nantz” and the fusillades, will be resorted to, and the horrible scenes of the French Revolution will be re-enacted in free America. It is very evident that after eighteen months of a terrible civil war we have only reached ‘the beginning of sorrows.” Ovr Iron-Ciap FixetT—This morning another of the Ericsson gunboats—the: Montauk—will be launched from Mr. Rowland’s Continental Works, at Greenpoint.
