Printed liste of the letters at the Poat Office un- called for up to Saturday morning last may be found posted at the usual places at the Post Office and upon the Hexaup bulletin boards. THE SITUATION. ‘The redels confronting our army before Petersburg Pashed forward their pickets on the left of our lives on Fridsy morning Jast,and « brisk skirmish onsued, dis- turbing the quiet which bad for some time prevailed at the front, The object of the rebels in this movement is supposed to have been to feel that portion of our lines; but they gnined mo advantage, and the affuir soon sub sided. The extensive capture of cattle from the Union corrals on Thursday last seems to have been owing to grows negligence on the part of some per- sons connected with our army. Little hope was en tertained at the latest dates of any success in the efforts recapture the stock, and the rebels have thus secured sufficient freeh beef to keep them on full rations for some Sime to come. Im addition to the logs of the cattle, there Wore reports that one of our cavalry regiments sent to retake them had also been gobbled up by the enemy. We publish today a militery map of the city of Rich- mond, which, it will be observed, gives at a glance a complete view of the public buildinge and interior de. fences of that piace, and will serve to illustrate the story Of & refugee from ihe South which accompanies it, as woilas many other matters connected with the famous rebel capital that might otherwise be uuintelligible to the reader.

A despatch from Chattannoga, Teon., announces, in very brief terms, that Goversor Brows, of Georgie, has withdrawn the fifteen thousand militia of that State re- ently connected with the rebel army of Geveral Hood, and that tbe thirty-five thousand Union prisoners in Georgia have been removed from the stockade at Ander. senville to Sevanvah and Augusta. ‘Thore is @ report that Admiral David D.

H., of Cape Hora, will be found among our shipping intelligence. The Disgraceful Dishonesty of tho Par- taan Press. The Tribune and the World especially, and tbe other partisan papers generally, are dis- gracing themselves, the profession and the American people, by the reckless dishonesty and malignancy with which they are couduct ing this political campaign. The Eatouswill Gazette is outdone; the Billingsgate fishwomen are surpassed. No respectable person of any party can read these partisan papers witbont % blush. The most open snd palpable false- hoods, the most shameless personalities and the most culpable misrepresentations fill the col- umns of these journals. All restraint seems to be removed. Instead of sound argument and earnest discussion of great principles, the par- tisan editors substitute vulgarity and black- guardism, and hope to gain votes by calling each other “liars” in the Zribune or ‘dirty dogs” in the World. We take the Tribune and World, as represen- tatives of the two extremes of politics, in order to illustrate this disgusting style of partisan warfare. We find the Tribune denouncing Mc- Ciellan as a peace candidate in one columa and as a war candidate in another column. We find it asserting that McClellan is a coward, and that he always ran away from the battle Geld, when the Tribune’s own report- ers disprove these statements. We find it quot- ing from McClellan’s West Point oration, and deliberately attributing that quotation to Sena- tor Douglas. We find it denying that Daniel Webster made a certain speech, when that speech was commented upon in its own columns. We find it speaking of “the Lincoln flag,” in- stead of the American flag. We find it stating, on the same page, that McClellan stands upon the Chicago platform and that he does not stand upon the Chicago platform; that his let- ter of acceptance has improved his prospects and has rujned him; that Lincoln is an honest man and that he purchases support with offices. We find it reviving the worn out slander about McClellan’s spades, when the history of the war has proven that earthworks are indispensable. We find it declaring that McClellan offered his sword to the rebels, hid guns and ambulances’ and sent the rebels word where to find them, and lost battles because he bad agreed with Jeff. Davis to lose them. What language can sufficiently rebuke such unparalleled dis- honesty and malignancy as this? What honest man can subscribe for such a paper as the 7ri- dune? When we tura to the other extreme, and look at the articlesof the World, the case is scarcely any better. With an amount of stupidity and ignorance beyond comprehension the Bohe- mians of the World seem to think that the proper way to kelp McClellan is to sneer at and abuse Generel Grant, the greatest military genius this country has produced. We do the ~~ the justice to say that they have seps@ enough to see the World's error, and to regret it; but Belmont and Barlow, who own aod have charge of the World, do not prevent it. Whether or not they design to injure McClellan in order to further some revolu- tionary scheme we will not decide; bat that they are injuring him by every attack upon Grant is self-evident. They injure him also by undertaking to prove that he never made a mistake, never lost a battle and never failed, when the truth is that McClellan did fail on the Peninsula, through the faults of Lincoln, Stanton and Halleck, although he more than redeemed himself at Antietam. He failed also iu not managing the administration and bending them to his purposes when he had the power, as General Grant has done. In any comparison between McClellan and Grant the former must suffer as a military man, for Grant is in many respects bis superior. But McClellan has merits of his own which cannot be fairly overlooked, and when we come to compare him with Liacoln the latter will be by no means complimented. In this gross error of abusing Grant to aid McClellan the World is unrivalled; but in foulness of lan- guage and facility of falsehoods upon minor matters it is quite equalled by the Zrilnune. If the disgraceful dishonesty of the partisan press were reprehensible upon no other ground, we should feel justified in rebuking it because of the disgrace it casts upon the profession of journalism, which ought to be and will be the highest and noblest of all the professions. The American people are too shrewd not to under- stand that all these partisan papers are insin- cere. They know that if McClellan were an angel of light or a second Washington the Tribune would continue to berate him with the same violence if he ran for office upon the demo- cratic ticket. They remember that in his day partisan papers did attack Washington in the same base spirit. Om the other hand, they are certaim that if the Chicago Convention had nominated an open secessionist, of the very worst pereonal character, the World would have supperted him, as the regular nominee, with the same enthusiasm now displayed in regard to McClellan. Consequently the peo- ple will net believe anything they read in such papers any more than en intelligent juryman believes what the lawyers With the par- tisan papers, as with the lawyers, it is a mere question ef fee. Every one bas noticed and been amused at the change inthe Tribune since Greeley was made an elector at large, with a fair chance of an office if his candidate be elected. The editor of the rebel News does not write articles for the Tribune to copy and use against McOlellan without some compensa- tion fer his trouble, and if Lincoln rewards him by allowing him to publish arebel paper in the chief city of the loyal North the people all un- derstand the bargain, It is often said, and with some show of reason, that the majority ef the people are fools; but they are not such fools as the politicians and the political editors sup- poe, They at least understand that they are not to oredit what partisan journals say, and that the only trae newspaper is that which is independent of all parties. The partisan papers are the pettifoggers, who rant and rave and abuse each other's clients; but the great Jity of the people sits out thie war of words aod walig for she calm, {apartlal summing up of that unprejudiced fudge, the independent ress, ot tne Ememy. Discoursing upon the probable consequences of the fall of Atlanta, the Richmond Examiner says that “Sherman desires rest;” that “the fed- erai army is much shattered and much fatigued;” that its “long line of exposed communications to the rear, which is a standing disgrace to the councils of Richmond, need looking after and strengthening;” that “the reinforcements which would enable Sherman to push forward in further enterprises are required for another and more important purpoge”—the “capture of ftichfiond;” that “on this one object the whole military power of the federal Union will now be concentrated,” and that “Grant will uo longer be distracted by two great enter- prises,” inasmuch “as one of them is accom- plished and well off his hands.” This Richmond philosopher next, in follow- ing up this line of speculations, informs us that “Petersburg is falsely esteemed the key to Richmond,” and that the Yavkees “er- roneously suppose that the fall of the one invelves the other.” However, he ad- mits that “if they bring together a force large enough to overwhelm Lee's army§ wheresoever the battle may be, they do imperil Richmond, and with it the Confederate cause iteelf.” In explanation of this view of the small importance of Petersburg, we have the rumor that Lee contemplates the evacuation of that city and the shortening of his lines to the immediate defences of Richmond. Petersburg, in fact, was only valuable to him as a military position commanding the Weldon Railroad. Having lost that road, and failed in every effort to recover it, Lee may possibly abandon Peters- burg, to save it from destruction from our shells, and, without another struggle, he may fall back, as suggested, in order to shorten his lines and concentrate his forces for some decisive movement in some other direction. His neces- sities are such that he cannot wait much longer. His supplies are diminishing, his soldiers are on shorter rations than ever before, his rein- forcements come in hardly in sufficient num- bers to repair his losses from desertions; and still the lines of Grant are tightening around him. Lee, in fact, must shortly attack and des- perately endeavor to dislodge “the Yankees,” or he must gather up his moveables, blow up his magazines, spike his heavy guns which can- not be carried off, destroy the army foundries, mills and factories of Richmond, dismiss his prisoners of war now in the city, and move off army, archives, Jeff. Davis and his Cabinet, bag and baggage, scrip and scrippage, southward to some safer locality. We believe that if Davis could have had his way this thing would have been done, as a matter of military strategy, long ago. He has been overrnled by Lee and the other Virginians in bis councils; but stern necessity may at last overrule Lee. The rebel Confederate scrip factory, aud some other things, were removed from Riehmond to Colum- bia, South Carolina, last spring, and doubtless in view of the possible contingency of the transfer of the whole establishment of Jeff. Davis to the same place. We think it possible, too, that the object of a junction of the army of Lee with that of Hood may prove the decisive consideration in favor of the evacuation of Richmond. General Grant at present stands between Lee and Hood; but Lee, by the evacuation of Rich- mond, may in a single day’s march get in be- tween Sherman and Grant. The moral effect of the loss of Richmond we know would be fa- tal to the so-called “confederacy,” but it would not be so speedily fatal as a decisive defeat of Lee’s army, involving the loss of Richmond. The question before long will be determined by a stealthy evacuation or by the bloodiest struggle of the war. General Grant is pre- paring himself at all points for this latter alter- native; but we do not abandon the idea that from the strength and completeness of his pre- parations be will yet secure the rebel capital without another general engagement. The alternative, we believe, will soon be made ap- parent to Jeff. Davis, if it be not now, that he must abandon Richmond to save Lee's army, or sacrifice that army in a vain struggle to hold the city. We await in confidence the coming developments of the campaign; for, whether Davis shall elect to fight or fly, Richmond is now within the grasp of General Grant, and he will not relax bis bold upon it. Tue American Miniionatres.—The rapid ac- cessions to wealth on the part of the business men, shoddy contractors and merchants of this country, as exhibited in the costly dressed and -bejewelled promenaders in Broadway, the oc- cupants of the stalls in the Academy of Music, seen in the rich and expensive equipages on the Park, in the crowds of gay frequenters at the numerous watering places and summer resorts, has been a subject of surprise not only to our- selves here at home but to the people of older countries who come among us from time to time. These evidences of prosperity have be- come more apparent every succeeding day since the war was fairly entered upon; and the result is that s new race of mil- lionaires have sprung up in our midst, shoving the old parvenues, but in more substantial guise than the ghost of Ban- quo did Macbeth, “from thelr stools.” The star of the shoddy contractors has made rapid way upwards, but whether to become a fired light er a mere transitory aerolite, soon to fall to earth again, remains to be seen. The won- drously increasing development of the resources of our country bids fair to mark another and newer era in the aristocracy of our land. Look- ing at the results looming up from the discove- ries of the exbaustless oil productions of Penn- sylvania, may well exclaim, “Through what new scenes and changes must we pass.” New | millionaires, and of course a new order aud | title of aristocracy. The first order—now a | thing almost of the past——was the old poblesse | of the Revolution of 1776; then successful trade and commerce poured wealth into the hands of | the merchants, and we had a codfish aris- i tocracy numerous, and for a time holding itself | aloof as an exclusiveif nota Privileged class. Then California gave us a “golden” aristocracy. The rebellion then came upon us, aud, lo, we have another new order springing up Ike a | mushroom in the night—the “shoddy aristoc- | racy,” “whore equlpages gleam like meteors | and whose palaces rise like exbalations.”’ But again the panorama changes, and as it moves we see the first promise of another new order. The oil wells of Pennsylvania pour forth their oleaginous treasures, and by and by will give us a new title for a new order of aristocracy, which bids fair to eutdo even the shoddyites, Ge at this moment into Sonth street, Wall street or Broad; go upon 'Change; G0 wherever the aneculator holds bia saurt. and you will fiad an excitement there {n con- nection with the Pennsylvania oil wells that is really astonishing. Farmers are leaving their old quiet homes, and the speculator is rushing from the turmoil of the city to take Posseasion of what he has paid the bewildered farmer a fabulous sum to obtain. Owners of the land, dressed in homespun, with a farm that 20 one would buy or look at one year ago, are now paid half a million for their cornfields. Here is a change. Oil is therefore up. It is in the ascendant, It is making the old Dutch farmers, with their hitherto unknown treasures buried at their feet, suddenly wealthy. It is making the speculators in the land wealthy. It bids fair to again revolutionize society, and to give us still another new ordor of aris- tocracy. What name shall we give it? Tu MoCievtan Mass Msetina at Union Square.—The public demonstration at Union square on Saturday evening was probably the largest and one of the most enthusiastic politi- cal gatherings ever held in this country. The space in and around the square from Four- teenth up to Fighteenth street was filled by an almost impassable crowd, while the display of torchlights, Chinese lanterns and mottoes added interest and attraction to the occasion. The mottoes and devices carried in the numerous long processions in many instances were far more effective on the minds of the masses than all the long-winded speeches and harangues that can be delivered from now to election day. Like the demonstration at the same place just previous to the assembling of the Chicago Con- vention, it shows that the popular taste, the popular heart and affections of the people of this city are for the Union, one and inseparable. Saturday being the anniver- sary of the battle of Antietam, as well as the anniversary of the adoption of the federal con- stitution, that memorable occasion and the ser- vices rendered to the country by General McClellan at Antietam were held prominently forth inthe mottoes borne by the processions. These McClellan gatherings in this city, as well as those in all parts of the country, remind us of the political campaigus of Jackson and Harrison, only that they are much larger now, owing to the increase of population. Corron Growixe in tHe Ovp Wortp.—The English journals publish interesting state- ments on the growth of cotton in Algeria, Turkey, Egypt and India. It would appear from these accounts that but little.saccess at- tends the efforts made by Europeans to free themselves from a reliance upon this country for cotton. In Turkey the cotton erop was good, but could not, owing to climate and the nature of the soil. be depended upon as prom- ising a large supply. In India, spite of all efforts, they have succeeded in growing but an inferior article—a short staple, which must be mixed with American cotton to be manufac- tured. Add to this the fact that the people’s babits must be changed ere they can be made to work cotton fields, that immense railroads must be constructed to transport the cotton to seaports, and that then it is still at so great a distance from any European market, the con- clusion forces itself upon the English mind that to this country they must still look for their supply of cotton. The fact is worth noting at this peculiar period in our history. Tue Progress of IMPERIALISM IN THIS Country.—The Chevalier Raymond has not yet answered our questions. What progress hes he made in having the order of Legion of Honor for civilians and politicians established? Meanwhile we see that another step is taken im the imperial direction. A “sumptuous sixteen wheeled car, intended for the President’s use, is now finished and awaits orders at Alexandria. It is the most ele- gant thing of the kind ever seen in this country, and cost thirty thousand dollars. It has sleeping apartments and a secretary’s office.” Is the cypher duly affixed upon the elegant panels of this car? Will Chevalier Raymond let the public kuow whatis to be tho pro- gramme when it is in use? Tux Times ap Toe Mass Merrixo ov Satvr- pay Nicur.—The “Little Villain,” in yester- day's issue of the Times, shows unmistakable alarm at the popular demonstration for McClel- lan in and around Union square on Saturday evening. He endeavors to whistle away what he sees is the fate of his own party by repre- senting this gathering asa small affair. This is no more than might be expected. Chevalier Raymond has no ides of numbers whatever. A half a dozen Austrian cavalry broke away from the army at Solferino, aud he thought the whole Austrian army was approaching. In his fright he made a sudden stampede in the rear, and would probably have been running still had it not been for the fact that he got entangled in the elbows of the Mincio. Tae Drart to Commenos To-oar.—In accord- ance with orders from the War Department, the draft will take place to-day throughout the loyal States, This, however, applies only to those districts which have not filled their quo- tas. The city of Brooklyn has filled her quota; but it is claimed by the War Department that this city is about one thousand behind. Supervisor Blunt is still at work, and will probably soon fill our quota, if he has not already, if a little time is given him. The wheel, bowever, will eommence turning in a large portion of the Congressional districts to day, and continue until the balance of the five hundred thousand men ealled for are secured, and the account on that call balances. The Aum Arbor (Michigan) Journal, one of 0 leat republican papera ia that State, bas taken the names of Tocoln and Jobngon from the head of its columos and substituted those of George B. McClellan and George A Pendietow. Ip juatification of ite course it says:-—Publie iment io favor of General McClellan has been increas. ing in force very rapidly during the last thirty days, A Inge majority of the people seem to be strongly im- pressed with the necessity of abandoning the abolition polley Of T'revident Lincoln—of falling back upon the coustitation as it is, aa the ooly boud of Untom betwoea | the Staton, avd of electing ® tao of military experience, wisdom aud regard for the ovostitution; a man ardoutiy dovoied to tbe Union, and ik capable of peor: cubing Lhe war successfully and devermined to restore the Union as it was * * a . . | satisfied with the nomination of General aod with the resolutions constituting the piat ted by the Democratic National Coavention, we shall give our 6 10 that ticket, aad have taen from inne the names of Abraham [iscoin and Andrew Johnson, and substituted in thetr places tbe names of George B.

Immediately afier McCiellam’s letter of acceptance was publisbed several communications passed between V. Hogy (prooounced Bo jay), of 8t Louls, and Vallandigham, of Ob\lo. Bogy is the head of the peace men im Missouri, ranks as & seces- sionist, and bas been under arrest for disloyalty, In one of the communications Bogy declares that McClellan's lettor is entirely unsatisfactory, and was anxious to kuow what he should do, Vallandigham ip reply declared that, “tbe letter was more than unsatisfactory,” and desired to wee Bogy immediately. The two baye probably met ore this, and talked the matter over, GENRRAL GRANT'S POLITICAL SENTIMENTS. It’ ig stated that General Grant dislikes the Chicago Platform and McCleMan’s letter of acceptance very muek, and expresses bis opinions freely on the subject. Ho is clearly Of the opinion (hat Lincoln should be re-elected, It ia apparent that be is gradually becoming ‘abolition- ized’—by which it is understood that he is beginning to feet and act in common with the Washburne clase of re- publicans, Twelve months have worked great apparent Changes in nis sentiments, RKBKL QUMKILLA RAID ON THE FLORIDA COAST. Accouats received from Mosquito lalet, Fia., of a late date, state that several parties of rebel guerilias, belong- ing to Major Diekinson’s cavairy, made a concerted move on the inbabitants living near the seaboard and captured @ number of them, the charge being that they bad taken the oath of allegiance to the United States government, and bed been in the habit of trading with blockading voe- sein on that station, One object of the raid was, bow- ever, to supply their ranks with conscripts, as well as the punishment of those who have been in open and friendly intercourse with our forces. Among those cap- tured were eeveral deserters from the rebel army, who, until recently, bid succeeded in eluding their vigilance by camping in the swamps Contiguous to their residences, Those living under the immediate protcation of our naval forces were unmolested. The guerillas, not content with having cap- ‘ured all the male inhabitants within certain limits, com pleted the scheme by robbing their families in several instances of everything on the promises they could con- yeniently carry away. Information from other parts of Volusia and the adjacent counties is to the effect that great distress prevails among the poorer classes of people in consequence of these raids. The United States schooner George Manghan is now performing blockade duty off this point, but was unable to render any assistance, not being aware of the raid until after ita termination, THE POSTAL MONRY ORDER SYSTEM, The Post Office Department has completed the prepara. tion of the instructions, forms and blanks for the opera- tion of the money order system, About one hundred aud forty post offices have beee designated as money order offices. They are located principally in the Western States, and are divided into two ciauses. Those of the firet class are depositories in which those of the second lags deposit their surplus money order funds. Of those at present designated there are twenty-six offices of the first class, The system is to go into operation on the lst | of October; but it will require several months to get ihe machinery in complete working order, THE SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN. The subscriptions to the seven-thirty loan oa Friday | and Saturday were over $2,000,000. The total to date is $36,274,000. THE MINNEGOTA WHEAT CROP. The wheat crop of Minnesota is stated to be twe million and eight hundred thousand bushels in excess this year over that of any previous crop, At the same time that young State has sent twelve thousand of her laborers into the field ag soldiers. This shows how the inventive genius of the country, through labor-saving machinery, carries on the business of the agrioulturist in the West. UNPAID SOLDIERS. While nearly all of Gen, Shoridan’s army have been recently paid, for some reason or other some of the horee batteries have been noglested. Among others, Company D, Second United States artillery, has not been paid since February last, This is rather hard with en- listed men who have families. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ACTING ENSIGN CLARKE. Groat anxiety is felt at the Navy Department in oonse- quence of the disappearance of Acting Ensign J. H. Clarke, from the South Atiantio blockading squadroa, dari he early part of September, He ia native of New Bedford. A COLONBL SENTENCED TO BE CASHIERED.

It is not having that effect upom thd ‘St. Louis peace men, In tne past three days I have seeq little knots of them at the most promivent street corners oti engaged upon the discussion of Gen. MoCielian and the Chtcago platform, ‘He no more stands on that platfores: thanj Abe Lincoln does,” was tbe remark yeeteréag from one whom I recognized as an energetic ‘‘pease’* man, and who has been once @ resident of Gratiot street prison for overt acts of disloyalty. “Certaiuly,” wad the response of the percoa addressed, “Gen. McClellag is not on the Chicago platform, and I would rathee vote for Lincoln than yote for him.” This mea i! also a strong peace man. I suppose tt is hardiy necessary for mo to say to Eastern readers that the most of the peace men here have been secessionists from beer aad have opposed everything like war upon tho States, There are some who were earnestly in aver of the Union when the war broke out; but they form a me Dority of tbe peace party. Among thie minority | mag mention General Price, the democratic nominee for Gout ernor, who was an earnest friend of the govervment af tho stert, The emancipation proclamation aljegated him, and be is now among wotbe meo.

Mr. Lincoln's frieods are nut in the move ment. The Fremont men are likely to be strougly repre sented in the convention, and they are pretty near only perscns that will be. They are preparing to delegates, and will make the convention as noisy ag ible, From what I can gatber from (be politicians, 5 n that Fremont has already written a letter of withe drawel,aod would not be surprised at its appesranes defore this reaches you. The Germaos still bold out in their declaration thas they will under mo circumstances vote for Mr. Lives, Many of them promise their votes for McCiellen if the Cincionati convention comes to naught, and provided Fremont withdraws.
