ADVERTISEMENTS FOR THE COUNTRY, Advertisements for the Westy Heratp must be hand. €4 in before ten o'clock every Wednesday evening. Its Circulation among the enterprising mechanics, farmors, ‘merchants, manufacturers and gentlemen thronghont the country is increasing very rapidly. Advertisements iu- Gertod in the Weexiy Herat will thus be seen by a large Portion of tbe active and energetic people of the United States. THE SITUATION. ‘ne draft, which commences in the Sixth district ‘and Ninth ward at ten o'clock to-day; will, in all probability, be conducted without any display of violeat resistance. Preparations are made to re- Preas any such demonstrations by an overwhelm- ing military and naval force. A body of twenty thousand armed men, including the militia, are now at the command of the authorities, the dis- Position of which will be seen by the full details which we give in another column. The available forces of the Navy Yard, in the shape of g@unboats of light draught, a thousand seamen, and about twenty field batteries are also fn readiness to assist the federal authorities in | the strict enforcement of the conscription. Gov- j ernor Seymour issues a proclamation to-day coun- selling peace and submission to the law of Con- greaa which enacts the draft, and repeating his determination that the constitutionality of the law shall be tested in the courts, but that until it is de- clared illegal by judicial process it must be ob- gerved like any other act of the State or national | Legislature. He reminds the peofife that violence and disorder isof all things most desired by the parties who are disposed to usyrp the rights gnar- anteed to our State governments, He admonishes ali judicial and executive officera to prevent riot- us proceedings and enforce the law, and promises that the full power of the State shall be evoked to assist them if necessary. Mayor Opdyke still refuses to sign “ the thrce million ordinance,” unless certain amend- ments of his suggestion are made, the principal | point of which appearsto be that the drafted parties entitled to claim relief for their indigent | familica must be actually at the place of rendez- ‘vous before the money shall be paid, and that then ft shall be paid to such member of thejconscript’s family a3 the victim maydesignate. A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen will be called at once to consider the Mayor's propositions. NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1863, ton. Another fight upon the historio theatre of Manassas and Bull cun may possibly be in con- templation. General King is closely pressing the guerilla chief Mosby, and has driven him beyond the Blue Ridge, where he is very likely to be de- molished. We publish in this day’s Heraup interesting extracts from the Mobile Evening News of the $d instant, which portray in rebel language the condition of things in the bogus confederacy. From the nervous style of the extracts it will be readily inferred that in the latitude of the rebel editor’s standpoint things look rather “ blue’’ for the permanency of the “‘ stars and bars.’’ Recent reverses seem to have disturbed the equilibrium of the rebels in the extreme Sonth, and the infer- ence of the rebel sheet is that the people are go- ing ‘stark mad.” General Joe Johnston, on @ recent visit to Mobile, declared it to be ‘‘ the most defensible seaport position in the Confede- rate States,” and that “Mobile is to be defended to the last.” Our other quotations from Southern journals are equally indicative of a failing cause. From the Southwest we hear that the moun tains in Northern Alabama are filled with de- serters from the armies of Bragg and Johnston. West Tennessee is entirely ¢! . 4d of ‘guerillas. sept By the arrival of the Asia off Cape Race we are in receipt of two days later Bnfopean pews.’ ‘Whe Polish question still engages the attention of the three great European Powers—France, Great Britain and Austria. Tho.tenor of the common note of these Powers to Russia is not yet known; but it is thought that non-acquiescence in the con- ditions suggested will inevitably lead to a rupture with Russia. The Emperor of Austria has called ® conference at Frankfort, at which the German sovereigns have signified their intention to be present—the King of Prussia, however, declining. The object of the conference is to elicit the feeling of Germany and the empire in regard to Polish affairs. shor ke The war feeling in France is in the ascendant, and operates to the decline of rentes on the Bourse. The Czar still continues preparations on a large scale to put down the revolution and to meet the contingencies of a rupture with the other Powers. In England the federal conscription is not looked upon as a menace to the British government. The commercial intelligence shows little change. In Liverpool, on the day of the sailing of the steamer, the sales of cotton amounted to 7,000 bales, the market closing firm. In breadstuffs and provisions the market was quiet, but firm. On the same day, in London, consols closed at 9234 a 92% for money. In American stocks Erie shares were 70 a 71, and Illinois Central 16 a 15 discount. A meeting of politicians, mostly of the Bell- Everett party, was held at Rochester yesterday, for consultation with reference to the coming Pre- sidential campaign. The conclusion arrived at was, that peace and the restoration of the Union can only be brought about by the organization of the conservatives of the loyal States upon a plat- form similar to that of the Union democracy of Kentucky. The draft will take place to-day in Syracuse, New York. Zi The banks of Rochester have signified their wil- lingtiess to loan money tothe city for the benefit of the indigent families of drafted men; but they will not advance funds to pay the three hundred dollars commutation or to purchase substitutes. The Albany Evening Journal, which is usually tolerably correct on New York politics, but when it advances beyond the confines of the State is sure to get befogged, has made up a table showing the relative strength of the two parties in the next United States House of Representatives, which contains a number of gross inaccuracies. In the Pennsylvania delegation it claims thirteen for the administration and allows the opposition but eleven, while in our table we reverse the figures. We give below the names of allthe opposition members elected, and the names of the republi- cans who ran in oppesition to them in their reapec- tive districts: — Fawark 0.

Tracy, the representative of the Thir- teenth district, is claimed by the republicans, al- though he ran on the democratic ticket and was elected against a regularly nominated republican. The Board of Supervisors held their weekly meeting yesterday afternoon. The special com- mittee appointed to consider the claims of suf- ferers by the draft riots reported an ordinance in favor of appropriating $1,000,000 for the settle- ment of claims of this description against the county. It was adopted. No further business of importance came up. The New York Tattersalls, in Sixth avenue, cor- ner of Thirty-ninth street, was totally destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. There were about sixty horses on the premises, and, notwithstanding every exertion was made to save them, twenty-five perished in the flames. Several of the buildings on West Thirty-eighth street were considerably damaged. ba A. Grow. lark. pepeererererererer ‘The latest accounts of the progress of affairs at Charleston to-day are from rebel sources, and of an encouraging character. The government at Washingtoa received a despatch from reliable sources in Tennessee yesterday, to the effect that the Chattanooga Redel of the 16th inst. announced that the bombardment of Charleston on Saturday Aast was terrific, and that the firing from General Gillmoro’s land batteries on Morris Island, and from the Monitors, was chiefly directed against ort Sumter. The combined Iand and na- ‘wal forces of the federals seemed to’ be engaged. This news was received at Chat- tanooga from Charleston by telegraph, and the fight was going on when the Rebel went to press on Sunday. The same paper states that the Ironsides and all the Monitors were not only in the action, but that the whole fleet and a large num- ber of transports were inside the bar during the | engagement. We may therefore look out for stir- ring news from there by the next arrival at For- tresa Monroe. Our news from the Army of the Potomac is not without importance to-day, The rebels have ex- tended their lines of picketa from Madison Court House to Fredericksburg, Longstreet’s corps oc- cupying the right, Hill’s corps the Rapidan from Madison to Ely’s Ford, Ewetl's around Gordons- ville, and Stuart's cavalry still at Culpepper. An attacking movement upon the left ¢¥ our lines is mot regarded as improbable by military authori- ties. General Lee seems evidently making propa- gations to cutin between our army and Washing. ‘The Sanitary Commission of Boston have char- tered a vessel to be loaded with supplies for the soldiers now operating against Charleston. She will sail to-day. * The Washington Star says we have between se- venty and eighty thousand rebel prisoners, and Jeff. Davis has about thirty thousand of our men, awaiting exchange. ‘The Republican State Convention of Minnesota will meet to-day, for the nomination of candidates for State offices.

The American Telegraph Company has opened an office for general business at the Atlantic Docks, near Hamilton avenue ferry, South Brook- lyn. Vimo merkas for beef cattle ruled heavy, under an enor- mous supply, the largest for nearly a yoar—the aggre- gate number on sale at all the city yards, and those sold at Bergen and direet to butchers, being 6,422 head. Of ‘this immense number 4,500 head sold at Allerton’s yards on Monday morning, the biggest day’s work ever done at that place. Prices were from ic. to le. a 10. per pound lower, ranging from 60.8 10c.a 110. All sold ex- cept two hundred head, which were rent to graze for s ‘wook, Speculators lost very heavily. Milch cows were quiet and unehanged. Veals were steady at 40. 8 T0., with occasional sales at 7}¢¢.

It closed with a decidedly upward tendeney and a general increase of outside business. Gold was dull and neglect. ed at about 12634. Exohange 138. Monoy was casy; call loans 5 & 6 per cent.

Davis and his Southern confederacy—the Lon- don Times—for the encouragement of English noodles disposed to dabble in the so-called Confederate cotton loan, has lately published a statement from a Mr. McRae (no doubt from Mississippi), Confederate agent for this loan, in which he says that “the purchases of cotton by the Confederate government will probably amount to five hundred thousand bales; that this cotton is principally in Georgia and Ala- bama,..pud,.gome ‘tlso in Eastern pi, North n°. Gouisigna and Texas, and is stored ‘on “the plantations of planters, from whom it was purchased, in sheds or warehouses, three hundred feet from other buildings, and that the Gapture of all the Confederate seaports would agtandanger the loss of a single pound of co! ai there are no stocks of cotton at them,” &c.; and, as it is per- haps this report-of McRae that this rebel cotton 10am" rallied in London to twenty-five per cent~discount; after it had fallen to thirty- five, we think that 9 few facts, of Inter dates than those,@f -MoR&é, from the cotton districts, will be sufficient to prove the insecurity of his Confederate cotton sheds, however remote they may be from Southern seaporta? The foltowing letter, for example, of the rébol Seeretary of the Treasury, will prove to be exceedingly interesting to the London specu- lators in this aforesaid Confederate ‘cotton loan:— Derartuent, C.S. A., IMOND, July 15, 1863. Hon. J. A. Ssnpow, Secretary of War:— “ Sin—The fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson exposes to tho enemy the cotton purchased by the government in Misstssipp! and Louisiana. I learn that many of the janters, in whose care this cotton was, will probably leave their plantations, so that there will be no person to whom the duty can be intrusted of preserving the cotton, {f itcan be preserved, or of destroying it where it is likely to fall into the bands of theenemy. Under these circumstances | would ery, submit that the sub- Ject be placed under the control of the commanding gene- rals, and that they be instructed to destroy all such cot- ton as cannot be preserved from the hands of the enemy. With much respect, your obedient servant, C. G. MEMMINGER, Secretary of the Treasury. In pursuance of this recommendation, J. D. B. De Bow, general cotton purchasing agent of the rebel governmeat, in a card to the Mobile Adver- tiser, dated Uniontown, Alabama, July 25, an- nounced that he had instructed his agents in Mis- sissippi to apply the torch to all stores of Con- federate cotton “whenever in imminent and manifest danger of falling into the hands of the enemy, but only in such cases.” He declared it of the “last importance, however, that cotton should not be a trophy of the enemy.” Next, our ‘news despatches from the Southwest in- formed us that over a wide extent of country in Northern Mississippi the air was filled with the smoke and the horizon was il- luminated at night by the fires of ‘the rebel cotton burners, Jo. Johnston had been disastrously defeated in and expelled from Jackson, and any further resistance within the limits of the State to the advancing “Yankees” was practically abandoned. All the railroads being likewise in our possession, there was no alternative remaining but the torch to prevent the depots of Mississippi*cotton, marked C. 8. A., falling into the hands of the U. 3. A. Thus it is probable that since May last there have been burned by the rebels, or carried off or destroyed by the Union forces in Mississippi alone, not less than one hundred thousand of the five hundred thousand bales of cotton set apart for the redemption of this rebel cotton loan in Europe. Considerable quantities of this Confederate cotton have also been captured or destroyed by the forces of General Banks in Louisiana; and the-routes pursued by the cavalry expedi- tions from the army of General Roseerans, in Northern Alabama and Georgia, have been illuminated by some rebel bonfires of the same combustible. But the worst of it is, to the English Confederate cotton bondholders, that nothing but the torch or some other mode of destruction can prevent the other four hun- dred thousand bales of (C. 8. A] cotton from being gobbled up by the advancing hosts of the Union, whether in Alabama, Georgia, Northwestern Louisiana or Texas; for all those States are now absolutely at the mercy of the overwhelming armies of Grant, Banks and Rosecrans. Since the 1st of May last the operations of Grant and Banks alone have resulted in rebel tosses of soldiers—killed, wounded, captured and missing—equal toan army of seventy-five thousand men; and the fragmentary armies remaining to Joe Johnston and Bragg are rapidly disintegrating and dissolving from want, disease, despair, demoralization and de- sertion. When the heats of this tropical sum- mer shall have given way to the cooler atmos- phere of autumn, there will not be a Confede- rate cotton shed in the cotton States the con- tents of which will be worth insuring to Jeff. Davis at five cents a pound. We do not believe, however, that this whole- sale destruction of cotton commenced by the rebels in Northern Mississippi will be much longer followed up. As the conviction which is now taking root among the Sonthern people that the rebellion is a failure extends among them, they will begin to cast about to save some- thing from the general shipwreck of their for- tunes. Despoiled of everything of immediate value, except their cotton, it will constitute their sole dependence for the supply of their families with the indispensable articles of sub- sistence and clothing which they will need for the first year of peace. Making allowances for all losses, shipments and home consumptionsince this war began, there are probably not over three millions of bales of*cotton remaining in South fit for market. But this is something to be saved by the planters concerned, and it can be sawed only by the timely submission of the rebellious States to the Union. We think that in this way they will save it. We think it very probable that the fall of Charleston, which cannot long be delayed, will speedily be fol- lowed by general reaction among the cotton planters in favor of the Union and in favor of saving their cotton, and that the results will be the complete overthrow of Jeff. Davis and his Confederate government, Confederate scrip, Confederate bonds and Confederate European cotton loan, and all concerned, In any event which seems to us to be within the bounds of probability we can look upon this European rebel cotton loan as being only a naked imposture of the class of those Missis- sippi bonds, the repudiation ot which consti- tutes one of the most prominent acts in the political career of Jeff. Davia, The Southerm Confederacy. at Its Last Gasp—Signms of Approaching Dissola- tion. From all quarters come unmistakable signs of the great rebel going to wreck. The capture of Vickaburg and Port Hudson, iG Leet disastrous taittire iG the invasion of Pennsylvania, have rooted out at home and abroad the last remnants of confidence or hope in the final success of the rebellion. The Con- federate loan in London, made on terms 80 favorable to the lenders that they overlooked the question of probabilities entirely, fell from a premium of two or three per cent to twenty- five and thirty per cent below par, and in‘a few weeks hence it will probably have gone down to zero. The English government has had a new vision in regard to the morality of fitting out pirate ships, and that business seems about to be abandoned, as unprofitable and somewhat dangerous, by Mr. Laird and his pious coadjutors. The principal journal pub- lished in the rebel capital of a rebel State, and under the eye of the rebel Governor—the Ra- leigh (N. G.) Standard—denounces fearlessly and fiercely the-treachery of the rebel leaders; charges them with having precipitated a cause- less war, against the reason and convictions of the people, and proposes that the State shall send commissioners to Washington to arrange terms of negotiation for peace. This, however, is unnecessary. The only acts North Carolina need perform are to recall her troops from the rebel ranks, send Senators and members to the Thirty-eighth Congress in December next, and have her officials take the oath to maintain the constitution of the United States. In other articles this same rebel paper repre- sents the Southern people as ground to powder by the secession demagogues who have their heels on the people’s necks, and declares that there is springing up in North Carolina a pub- lic opinion which Richmond despotism will not be able to withstand. It says to the citizens of North Carolina—“If this is your government, say 80; if not, say so.” These denunciatory ar- ticles are reproduced in the Richmond papers; and evens correspondent of the Mobile Tribune, writing from the Confederate capital, ventures to say that “the time has come when every State in this confederacy must depend upon itself.” And all these murmurs and menaces are ac- companied by real defection from the rebel ranks. It will be seen by our despatches this morning that Bragg, with twenty-five thousand men still on hand, has lost ten thousand by de- sertion; that Joe Johnston’s army, now num- bering twenty-five thousand, has been reduced one-third by the same cause; that the moun- tains in Northern Alabama are swarming with these deserters, and that Governor Shorter, of that State, has been driven to the desperate expedient of issuing an address urging the im- pressment of slaves into the rebel service. Add: to all these signs of approaching dissolution tie comparative worthlessness of Confederate scrip, of which it takes from twelve to fifteen dollars to buy one dollar in specie, and the most obstinate copperhead in New York, as well as the most sympathizing friend of the rebels in Great Britain, must recognize and admit that the days of Jeff. Davis’ Rich- mond despotism are numbered; that the South- ern confederacy will soon be reckoned among the things that were; that the Mississippi repu- diator will ere long be exposed to another howl of denunciation from victimized capitalists in England; that there will be a long bill of dam- ages to be presented to John Bull, the piratical impressario, with a demand for immediate pay- ment, and, finally, that the American republic will soon be restored, with largely developed of his cure. An event of that sort would Promptly call him into action, by reviving his bopes of accomplishing the only remaining objects of his glorious career—the liberation of Venice and of Rame if Bhai ree ith: The News from Hurope. Among the intelligence brought from Europe by the Asia, which we publish this morning, will be found an editorial article from the London Globe, the organ of Lord Palmerston, obief of the British Ministry. That journal takes occasion to say that the draft of three hundred thousand men called for by the President of the United States is not a menace to England. This may be true or it may not. But the question arises, why does the Globe take pains to make the asser- tion? The only answer is the old proverb that «a guilty conscience is its own accuser;” or, a8 Shakspere has it, “conscience does make cow- ards of us all.” For the last thirty years the statesmen of Great Britain and her abolition propagandists have been working heaven and earth to break up the American republic, which they envied, hated and feared. And since the war began, under professions of strict neutrality, they have favored in every way the insurgent States of the South—first acknowledging them as belli_ gerents, and then permitting even veseels-of- war to be built for the confederacy in the prin- cipal shipyards of England and Scotland. While they expressed their horror of negro slavery, they patted on the back that sec- tion of the republic which holds slaves. Their policy has been crooked, tortuous and dis- honest in the extreme. The hostile spirit shown to this government in the British Par- liament and in the British press, with a few exceptions, is so manifest that it speaks for itself, and cannot be explained away by any diplomatic blarney. The Globe, therefore, con- scious ‘of what Great Britain deserves at our hands, has gloomy forebodings of the destina- tion of the three hundred thousand men now being raised under the Conseription act. Like r in the air and a flaming sword suspended over the head of but puts on the semblance of courage, and assures its readers that there Macbeth, it sees a d: Britannia, is ne ground for fear. If it only knew the stuff of which the new levy will be composed it would have an additional reason for disquietude. Two-thirds of the conscripts will consist of the nine months and two years veterans, who have seen so many bloody fields. They are re-enlisting for bounties, or as substitutes for drafted men who pay the three hundred dollars exemption money; and when the last army of the rebels is crushed, as it probably will be before the close of the present year, these men will be disengaged, together with all the other veteran troops in the field, whether Northern or Southern, and they will be free to do battle on auother theatre of war. Can any- thing be more natural than that these armies should demand to be led to take vengeance on “Perfidious Albion,” which has so contributed to the origination of our civil war and to its prolongation, with a view to the permanent dis- integration of the republic? And can anything be more likely than that even the most shal- low statesmen who may be at the head of our OBITVUART. Death of Prof. Cle: tC. Moore, LL. B. Died, July 13, at Newport, R.

Axoruen Tunoxe Gore a Bracine.—Al- though there are plenty of candidates for thrones among the cadets of the royal fami- lies of Europe, they have become rather diffi- dent of late. The fate of King Otho has in part reduced the value of that kind of stock in the market. None care to accept a position out of which they may be kicked before they get comfortably seated in it. We suspect that Napoleon will have some difficulty in finding a candidate for the new empire that he has crd- ated. The recent victories of the North, and the conviction that has grown on the European mind of the speedy restoration of the Union, are said to have indisposed the Archduke Maximilian to accept it. If he refuses it it will go @ begging; for the jealousies of the Euro- pean governments will prevent its being be- stowed on any but a prince who would be un- supported, and therefore utterly powerless to hold it. The Union once restored, France will not attempt to keep an army of occupation in Mexico. What, then, would be the fate of a foreign prince forced upon the acceptance of the Mexican people? Undoubtedly that of Iturbide. Where is the scion of any royal family—the Coburgs not even excepted—who will be found ready to accept such a prospect? | In the military occupation of Mexico Napoleon bas made an acquisition which threatens to prove as burdensome to him as that of the ele- phant to the poor Arab. By and by he will feel equally thankful to any one who will take it off his hands. Tue Exite or Carrera.—It is some time since anything has been heard at this side from the il- lustrious Italian patriot, Garibaldi. We had been in hopes that he had got entirely well of his wound, and that he was again ina condition to perform his part in the movements that are about to take place in Europe in the interest of its oppressed nationalities. It will be seen, however, by the following letter’ to a friend in this city, that he is still suffering from the tedious injury in his leg which has given him so much trouble. We hope that the antictpations | that he expresses of his speedy recovery will bo realized, and in the meanwhile we give his | letter, knowing that it will afford gratification to his numerous admirers on this side:— Caranna, June 20, 1863. Drar Mevoci—{ have not at this moment any likeness of mine; therefore 1 is impossible for me to please you for the time.

There is along account and a heavy reckoning to be settled with England the mo- ment we have disposed of our domestic troubles, and before she has done with us she will be’ effectually taught one bitter lesson she has been ever slow to learn, and that is, that “honesty is the best policy.” Tux Mountains Friuteo wire Deserters.— Accounts continue to come in that the moun- tains in Alabama are filled with deserters from Bragg’s and Johnston’s armies, all determined to defend themselves to the last sooner than re-enter the rebel service. Our government should take advantage of this fact and endeavor to send an expeditionary force to the relief of these men. It would greatly increase the dis- position of the disaffected in the military ser- vice of the South to return to their allegiance to the Union if they were sure of protection from the federal government. Nothing has done us more harm than the practice of advancing our arthies into places that we were unable to hold, compelling the inhabitants to take the oath of allegiance, and then abandoning them to the mercy of the enemy. The policy that we recommend is a different one; for by aiding those who have become well disposed towards us, and who will be thereby placed in a condi- tion to aid themselves, we sap the very vitals of the rebellion and paralyze its strength. Banxvm’s Mussum.—Tbe great prince of showmen has got anew ides, This is nothing less than exhibiting a number of live specimens of the Indian savages who have been devastating our Western borders.

A new spectro, announced at this fine theatre, appeared last nignt for the first time with | great success, and will be cootmued until further notice, with all bis startling and unearthly effects, in the sug- gestive drama, ‘The Temple of Death.” The spectacle Will doubtless be deeply inspiriting, and the managers may weil expect large audiences during the season.
