We find it absolutely necessary to make very extensive alterationa and enlargements in the Our business has wonderfully increased and is rapidly aug- Our facilites must be enlarged fn order to meet these renewed andurgeat de mands. Ip no other way can wo at all satisfy the requirements of our subscribers and patrons, the grout people of this ereat country. The enlargements which we are about to undertake will cost us from one hundred and fifty thoasand to lwo hundred thousend dollars. We have already purchased four or five build- inys on the block between Aun and Fulton streets, 60 as to make the Henaup establish- ; ment cover « square of about one hundred feet on Falton, Ann and Nassan streets. Beneath these buildings we shall excavate an immense vault, in which we shall be able to accommodate the numerous presses and other machinery which we are compelled to employ. At present, with our large presses and our and accurate than the system used by the Lon- don Times, we can print about one bandred and fifty thousand copies of the Hurarp in force in Rosecrans’ front, but evinced no dispo- sition to renew the engagement. We lave receiy- ed the details of the recent heavy fighting in North- ern Georgia, and we present ther to our readers as we have them, We also give to-day a full sketch of General Rosecrans from his birth to the date of the battles south of Chattanooga. It is stated at Washington that all military prisoners paroled by the rebels up to September 1 have been declared exchanged, and will be returned to duty at once. This will give a very large additional force to our army, and of men who have seen service in the field. The rebels are still largely in arrears for an offset to their own paroled prisoners which they have declared exchanged. a We give on the féurth page of this morning’s paper a very complete map of the State of Texas* and its boundaries, in order that our readers may fully understend the movement now in progress having in view the occupation of that portion of our territory still in possession of the rebels uager Magruder. The Sabine Pass expedition, al- though abandoned on account of the naval portion not being sufleient or adapted for the work, does yy manner interfere with the movement, ich is doubtless now being carried to a suc- and brilliant termination.

The Freach gunboat Marcenn, Commander Viven, from Sydney, C. B., arrived here yesterday. She hes a crew of eighty-five men, six guns, is three hundred and eighty-four tons, and has a pro- peller of one hundred and twenty horse power. The steamship Bavaria, Captain Meier, from Southampton on the 9th inst., arrived at this port early yester@ay morning. Her news has been anticipated by the China.

Marvellous aa this is, it is not fast enough for our business, We intend to set up at least five mammoth ten cylinder presses, which will print three hundred thousand triple or quadruple sheets in the same space of time. These presses will, of course, be manufactured by’ those splendid mechanical artists, the Messrs. Hoe, and will be of the latest and most approved patterns. Messrs. Hée will call at this office at once, no as to build the prossea while we are preparing for their accommoda- tion. The Herat has not only kept pace with the progress of the country, but it has actually shown the country how to progress. The fer- tile brains of our talented inventors have been taxed to the utmost to devise means to enable us to give our subscribers the news at the earliest moment and in the most complete form. From a single sheet we have grown to a triple sheet, and may double that in a few years. Once we employed horse expresses, then rail- roads, and now the telegraph, and we hope ina short time to entirely dispense with the mails | and receive all our despatches over the wires. The growth of the Hxrratn is typical of that of the country. Every new development of it is surprising; but it is quickly followed by newer and still more astopishing wonders. The circulation of the Henan is now greater than thatof any other journal in the world, and larger than that of all the other daily pa- pers in this city combined. When we can print three hundred thousand copies a day we shall have no competitor upon either continent. The enlargement of our establishment and the imprevements and inventions we shall intro- duce will enable us to accomplish this. Then, too, we can afford more space for our advertis- ing patrons and present our subscribers with the news from all parts of the world up to a very late hour in the morning. The trans-con- tinental and trans-oceanic telegraphs will be finished just in time to assist us in this con- summation. The rebellion is now dra@ing to a close.

The opportunity and the advantages for an overwhelming in- crease of the army of Bragg were t) oroughly understood at Richmond and ener ctically seized upon; but the consequent discer to Rosecrans waa evidently but litfle approhended at Washington.

It was by concentration, first in the Shonardoah valley, and next at Richmond, and then of fhe Repnaknnnock, that théy j successively drove Cenoral Hanis back into Maryland,” General MeClellan from ! the gates of Richmond, and General Pope | bohind the fortifications of Washington. Tt was | by concentration on their that the rebels rained the first day of the battle of Shiloh, and it w: concentration on onr side thot | they were defeated and put to flighton the | second day. Concentration has at victories of Cettysburs, Vicksburg and Port Hudson; and if the enemy in this Inte terrible strugcle in Georgian have temporarily turned the tide of battle against us, it has been by the simple common sense rule of abandoy ing all secondary points to mak@sure of the main point at issue by concentration. Concentration, then, is the infallible aeeret of success. During the first year of the war, or the year 1851, from the compact and extensive area of the Sontiern States held by the rebe!- lion, all the facilities for concentration were on the side of the exemy, including their absolute occupation of a thousand miles of the Missi sippi river. And so, operating around an im- mense circle, oursuccesses from April to Decen- ber, 1861, were fow and far between. During the year 1862, breaking through the enemy’s exterior lines and penetrating by way of the Mississippi and its tributaries into the heart of their country, we gained many essential advantages of concentration, which contributed greatly to extend our successes. Now, having cut off the rebellious States west of the Missis- sippi, we have also driven the main bodies of the enemy from the east side of the river back upon Alabama, and from Tennessee down into Georgia. Hence the ready concentration of these elements in the army of Bragzya contin- geney which should have been foreseen and amply provided for at Washington. But etfll, relying upon Rosecrans and his reinforcements to maintain for the present his important position at Chattanooga, the despe- rate situation of the rebellion has not been materially improved by the late indecisive victory of Pragg. There are two points (apart from Charleston, which we leave to its fate) upon which the tottering fabric of the Davis confederacy depends—Richmond and Atlanta. The loss of Richmond, in sending adrift Jeff. Davis and his rebel government, and in scaltering his rebel scrip and*its moon- war is over the prosperity of the reunited na- | American people will advance with gigantic ; | shine secur'ties to the four winds of heaven, | gives the finishing blow at once to the con‘ede- | racy; while the loss of Atlanta and its occu- | pation by a powerfol Union army, in entting off ' Richmond from Georgia, will | speedily end the war. It is hardly possible that ail the rebel forces east of the Mississippi, regular and irregular, | guerillas and home guards, included, ean ex- ceed three hundred thousaid men, Tt ia hardly possible for them to swell Bragg’s army and Lee’s army each beyond one hundred thonsand men, with Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah and Mobile to look after. We believe, at all events, that one hundred and fifty thousand men under Rosecrans, and the same number under Meade, will be ample to demolish and disperse the armies of Bragg and Lee; and we have at least six hundred thousand men in the field. We call, therefore, upon the administration to strengthen the army of Meade and that of Rosecrans to the exten? indicated, from our veterans olgewhere in the service; and, to supply | their places, and to “make assurance doubly sure,” and to do away with the expen- | sive dribblings of the conscription, we earnestly hope that President Lincoln will try the experiment of a call for three hundred thousgnd six months volunteers, For this sbort term the call can be filled in six weeks, and very largely from soldiers who have already served from nine months to two years in the army.

Ovr Preranations For War—Ovur Mrcnaxr cat Resovroxs.—If, among the many success- ful mechavical contrivances embodied by Ericsson in the Monitors, one stands out more prominent than the rest, that one is the mechanism by means of which a gun weighing upwards of twenty tons is manipulated with ense by six or seven men. This vital point bas not, as has been een by our foreign correspondence and by the letters of Captain Coles, R.

Placing the two descriptions of the ¥/?¢ event side by side, we much question if any richer comedy of errors bas been enacted on the public stage during the last half century. ‘Tho transaction will live in history as one of the representative jokes which have grown out of this disastrous war, the Canvass. The approaching State election is one of the most carious and singular affairs known in the history of polities’ in this State. The develop- ment of the canvass thus far in both parties is a perfect curiosity, and excels the numerous won- ders gathered together by Barnum. Both par- ties present anything but a happy family, and furnish an excellent study for naturalists as well as political philosophers. Each party has nominated a ticket; yet each seems to doubt whether it ought to elect it or not. In fact, both the republican and democratic parties have a cancer in their hearts—one a nig- gerhead ard the other a copperhead. Each of these cancers is gnawing away at a fearful rate, and seems to defy the most skilful party doctors. It is somewhat donbtful at pre- sent which of the two will destroy its party first. The race between them is a close one, with few or no betters on either side, The niggerkead cancer is just now a trouble- some question to the wise men in the republi- can ranks. Their convention assembled in Syracuse on the 24 of the present month, and, aithough it was managed and run by the Weed and Seward interest, yet that body dared not openly endorse Seeretary Soward, neither could it approve of Secretary Chase, Hither course wouldthave kindled a fire that no.power could smother. The result was that they had to stop with an endorsement of Presidert Lincoln, and thus leave the niggerhead cancer to future events. This will, from all varancea, be ‘the result of the next National Con- vention, and leave the party no other course but to reiomlante Lincoln for Presideat. The feud between the two factions is constantly wicening, and it has al- Teamy tanched an animosity gregter than that etwoen the denfucrais and republicans, Only a few dayd gives the niggerbead faction at- templed to pet up on demonstration at the Ceoper Ins fo sten? gle march on the other side, were left sevmy!y alone by | {he conservative wing of the party. The result aa that the invited speakers suddenly disap peared; the proceedings were commenced and contiuued with only a half filled house and a few small fry radical crators to entertain the aud ach faction is now watching te other side with jealous eyes, and passes the time in grumbling, growling and swearing, iaterspersed with threala so loud that they are heard cutside. The radical organs dare not speak out, fearing that what little they have on the ticket will disappear at the batlot box. The journals in the interest of Weed-Seward will remain dumb as sheep led to the slaughter, They eee the niggerbead cancer at work, and fear the resuit. Nor is the condition of the democratic party any more promisivg. They are in equally as bad if nota worse ditemma. The copperhead cancer is to them fully as erburrassing ag the niggerhead is to the republicans, The conser- vative war interests triumphed at their conven- tion in the nomination of thetr ticket and the formation of their platform, the same as‘at the republican couvention. But they unfortunately dragged in a resolution glorifying Governor Sey mour, which is adead weight to them. Sey:nour mavaged, after a great effort, during the canvass of 1862, to deliver himself of @ conservative war speech, and was elected on that issue. Immediately upon assuming office he commenced hob-nobving with the copper- heads, endorsed the copperhead party in Con- | necticut, and los election; endoreed Val landigham, did nothing but during | | the riote. He let every opnortunity to muke | capital for himself or party on the dravt pass | by, and rejected oll the offers made that would have enabled him to prove himself the man f the times.

A gun is now in contemplation which wilt exceed in power the famous fifteen-inch as much as that gun does the old eleven-inoh, and which will crush in the sides of any British iron-clad as though they were made of card- board. One shot from this gun properly de- livered will place hors de combat any foreign iron-clad afloat.

The sooneg he is dropped as aman incompetent to fill his position the better it will be for the ticket and all concerned. This, with the gnawing of the copperhead cancer, we fear will so far impair the life blood of the party that it can be saved only by a miracle. The remedy should be applied at once. By prompt action the conservative democracy may saved, This peculiar muddle—thfs mixture of cancer, jealousies, bickerings and draw backs—presents a feature in the canvass not only interesting and amusing, but places both parties before the country in a most extraordinary attitude. Let us patiently watch and wait, and see which party extricates itself first, or whether both do not give up the ghost for the benefit of our theatres at the same time. Tre War or Spawn Acarnst St. Douinoo.— Our advices from Port au Prince, Hayti, to the 12th of September, show that the Spaniards are getting iito somewhat of a bad fix with their new elophant of St. Domingo. It will be remembered that a revoluti on broke out among ‘the natives of the island shortly after it came into the possession of Spain; but it was promptly suppressed by Spanish and native troops. Now a second revolution has been in- stalled, which promises to be more serious. Our latest advices from Havana informed us | that transports were being rapidly prepared to | embark soldters for the revolted province, and | from all we now learn by way of Hayti they | will have thelr bands full when they arrive, | After the bombardment of Puerto Plata by the | Spanish fleet, six Dominteans escaped in a canoe | to Hayti and reported that the insurrection wae | rapidly spreading in the department of Cibao, | diate reinforcements from Cuba and Porto | Rico.

We warned Spain of this before she ventared on this ber last Quixotic under- taking; but as she did not sce At to take our advice she is now reaping the certain fruits. The Haytlen journala counsel the strictest neutrality of Hayti im the war between Spain and her new dependevoy, and call npor thelr own government to develop agriculture and to leave the Spaniards and Dominicans to settle their own disputes. This is wise on the part of Hayti; forif she once gots embroiled in this fight she will be sure to be swallowed up. Napolcon’s Mexican Muddie, Each arrival from Europe brings the rumor that Prince Maximilian has accepted the Mexi- can throne—a fact which, though eo often as: serted, ts not confirmed. We are inclined to doubt the acceptance by the Prince of the posi tion pressed upon him, a& we cannot believe that the conditions be has imposed will ever be accarded. The Prince makes his acceptance depend upon the guarantee of the great mari- time Powers of Europe that he shal! be undis- turbed in his pessession of this imperial throne which Napoleon and a few renegade Mexicana are to fabricate for him. Now, taking into con- sideration that England and Spain withdrew from the Mexican expedition the moment they were made aware of its true nature, it is hardly to be conceived thatat this time they should come forward, and, for the sole benefit of Napoleon the Third, bind themselves te a sae which might, and doubtless would, involve them, sooner or later, in a war with thie country, ngiand and Spaia are well aware that the Mexican invasion has placed the'r dreaded neighbor in a moat unpleasant predicament, and they are net the parties to step forth and chival- rovaly extricate him; the more so as they are not certain but that the first use he might make of his liberty would be to attack his rescuers.

Besides, both thdse Powers dvead the increasing power of Napoleagri, and Would gladly see him embarrassed. Hence they would never afd him out of the muddle produced by his invasiou of this con ting: It is apparent to the nations in question that we are bonnd {0 crush the rebellion, and tiot, once this is accom- plished, we stall surely unite against our enemies and seek revenge for their treacherous conduct. To keep out of the reach of the stupendoxs blows we shall then deal will be a matter of concern to both England and Spain, ad this we predict will be Na- poleon’s experience in the matter. It is preposterous to suppose that Russia would guarantee to Prince Maximilian a secure seat upon the throne Napoleon is anxtously endeavoring to build up for him, and it is also absurd to suppose that Austria will allow him to accept this throne unless it is so guaranteed. Thus we find Napoleon nonplussed and thrown upon his own resources for emperor making. Whom can be appoint Emperor of Mexico? Not one of his own family. He could not in that case raise one frane of the loan of seven hundred millions he is #0 anxious to make. Be- sides, he is weil aware, should he place a mem- her of his own family or one of his adherents to rule in Mexico, he would have to send an srmy of two bundred thousand troops there to ep the people in subjection.
