long in the city, as we were informed.
The Stereopticon.—The pleasing and in
structive exhibition of the Stereopticon opened
last evening at Lancaster Hall. In conse
cjuence 01 the imlavorablc condition of tlie

•*«*'*»' j uio mi uuu av.it>
for his vessel. Arriving on board he discover
ed the loss of his wallet and went back to the
store, but nothing could be found of it. lfe
said it contained about $700. There were four
$100 bills of the International Hank, about
$150 in bills of the Casco Hank, and the re
mainder were in different kinds of bills. He
said only about $50 of the money belonged to
him.
The IIohtk i'i,TrK.vL Exhibition.—The
exhibition of the Horticultural Society closed
last evening. It is the most successful one the
society has ever held, both In regard to the
fruits, flowers, Ac. exhibited, and the number
of visitors to it. The articles were yesterday
removed into the large hall, where they made
a fine show. Hut the unpleasant weather pre
vented a very numerous attendance of visitors.
Still the la:ge attendance at this exhibition is
an evidence that our people begin to realize
the importance of this Association. It is one
of Uie most active means for the promotion of
the cultivation of the best fruits and vegeta
bles that could be desired.
We have before stated that the profits of
this exhibition would lx: given to the Ladies’
Sanitary Committee. One of the gentlemen
who exhibited fruit at the exhibition, and who
lias been awarded a premium, has given that
up for the same purpose, and he suggests that
all those to whom premiums may be awarded
should donate them to the Ladies’ Committee.
It is a capital suggestion, and more especially
just at this time, when the treasury of the
Ladies’ is about empty, and the calls are press
ing for articles of comfort for our sick and
wounded soldiers.
Fhom Washington.—The correspondent
of the New York Post says the treasury al
ready begins to feel the operation of the new
tax law. The coffers already contain revenues
obtained under the new tax bill. Half a mil
lion of dollars have been received. It is be
lieved that the Increasing revenues of the gov
ernment cannot fuil to strengthen government
securities, and to diminish the almost frightful
premium upon gold. The writer also says:
“The emancipation proclamation is received
very well in Western Virginia, and in the |>or
tiou of Virginia near this city. A number of
men in Alexandria and Loudon counties, who
have inclined to secession sentiments hereto
fore, since the invasion of Maryland and the
proclamation of emauei|Hitioii, have come out
decided men. One of the substantial Virginia
larniers was in town yesterday, and lie made
the remark upon the. proclamation that at last
tin: government had put its heel on the sore
spot of the rebellion, adding: ‘Now that slav
ery is to I><■ abolished the end is eel tain, and 1
cast in my fortune with tin- party which I
know must finally triumph.' The proclama
tion makes constant headway here.”

TIIF. LOVAE OOVERNORS'
A DDK ESS TO TIIE I'KESIDEYT.
Washington, Oct. 2.
Address to the President of the United States,
adopted at u meeting of Governors of tho
loyal States, held to take measures for the
more active support of tlie Government, at
Altoona, Penn., on the 24tli dav of Sept,
lstii:
After nearly one year and a half spent in
contest with an armed anil gigantic rebellion
against tlie national government of tlie United
Stales, tlie duty and purpose of the loyal Stales
and people continues and must always remain as
they were at its origin, viz: to restore and
perpetuate the authority of this government
and the life of the nation. No matter what
conse<|ticnrcs are involved in our tidelity, nev
ertheless, this work of restoring tite republic,
preserving tlie institutions of democratic lib
erty, and justifying tlie hopes and toils of our
fathers, shall not fail to be performed, and we
pledge, w ithout hesitation, to the President of
the L nited States the most loyal ami cordial
support hereafter,as heretofore in tiie exercise
of the functions of liis great otHcc. We rec
ognize in him the Chid Executive Magistrate
of the nation, the Commander-in-Chid' of the
army and navy of tlie United States, their rc
sponsible and constitutional head, whose right
ful authority and power, as well as the consti
tutional powers of Congress, must be vigor
ously and religiously guarded and preserved
as the condition on which alone our form of
government and the constitutional rights and ]
liberties of the (ample themselves can be saved
from tlie wreck of anarchy or from the gulf of
despotism.
Iu submission to tlie laws which may have
been, or which may be duly enacted, and to
tlie lawful orders of the President, co-operat
ing always in our own spheres in the national
government, we mean to continue in the most
vigorous exercise of all our lawful and proper
powers, contending against treason, rebellion
and the public enemies; and whether in public
life or ill tlie private station, supporting tlie
hi" tu me uitmi mmi us cause Fimii con
quer, until final victory shall perch upon its
standard, or the rebel foe shall yield a dutiful,
rightful and unconditional submission; and
impressed in the conviction that an army of
reserve ought, until the war shall end, to Ik;
constantly kept on foot, to la; raised, armed,
equipped and trained at home, and ready for
emergencies, we respectfully ask the President
to call for such a force of volunteers for one
year's service, of not less titan one hundred
thousand in the aggregate, tilt; quota of each
State to lie raised alter it shall have filled its
quotas of the requisitions already made for
volunteers and for militia. \\'e believe that
this would is* a measure of military prudence,
while it would greatly promote the military
education of the people.
We haii with heartfelt gratitude and en
couraged hope, tlie proclamation of the Presi
dent. issued on the T1A inst., declaring emanci
pated Irom their bondage all persons la id to
service or labor as slaves in the rebel States,
wbosc rebellion shall last until the first day of
January ensuing.
The right of any person to retain authority
to compel any portion of the subjects of the
national government to rebel against it, or to
maintain its enemies, implies in those who al
lowed the possession of such authority the
right to reliel themselves, and therefore the
right to establish martial law or military gov
ernment in a State or Territory in rebellion,
implies the right and the duly of the govern
ment to liberate the minds of all men living
thereiu, by appropriate proclamations ami as
surances of protection, in order that all who
are capable, intellectually aiul morally, ot
loyalty and obedience, may not Is* forced into
treason as the willing trail of rebellious trai
tors.
To have continued indefinitely the most elll
cieut cause, support and stay ot the rebellion,
would have been in our judgment unjust to
the loyal people, whose treasure and lives we
made a willing sacrifice on the altar of patriot
ism; would nave discriminated against the.
wife, who is compelled to surrender her hus
band ; agajnst the parent, who is to surrender
his child to the hardships of the camp and the
perils of the battle; and in favor of rebel -
masters permitted to retain their staves, would 1
have Ik-cu a filial decision alike against Ini- i
inanity, justice, the rights arid dignity of the j
government, and against a sound and wise i
national policy.
The decision of the President to strike at
the root of the rebellion will lend new vigor
to the efforts and new life and hope to the
hearts of the iicoplc. Cordially tendering to
you, the President, our respectful assurances
of personal and official confidence, we trust
and believe that the policy now inaugurated
will be crowned with success, will give speedy
and triumphant victories over our enemies,
and secure to this nation and the people the
Messing and favor of Almighty Clod. We be
lieve that the blood of tile heroes who have
already fallen, and that those who may yet
give up their lives to their country, wili not
have been shed in vain. The splendid valor
of our soldiers, their patient endurance, their
manly patriotism, and their devotion to duty, i
demand from us and from all their countrymen j
tlie homage of the sinccresl gratitude ami the i
pledge ol our constant reinforcement and siq>- t
port. A just regard for these brav^uen whom
we have contributed to place In fll field, and ’’
for tlie importance of the duties which may
lawful ly pertain to us hereafter, has called us
into friendly conference; amt now presenting
to our national Chief Magistrate this conclu
sion of our deliberations, we devote ourselves
to out country’s service, and we will surround i
the President in our constant support, trust- '
iug that tin1 fidelity ami real of tlie loyal States j
flllil lu-ntili- U-ill nlti'oi'u nuaneo lii*» ..-'ill i
be constantly maintained in pursuing with |
vigor this war for the preservation of the na- j
tiounl life and the hopes of humanity.

Springfield, Mo., Oct. 2.
A liiglily responsible and reliable gentleman
who hits enjoyed advantageous opportunities
for ascertaining the number anil locations of
the rebel forces menacing our Southern bor
ders, and who lias been in some of their camps
within ten days, represents that in Newton
county, live miles South of Granby, there are
forty-tlve hundred rebels under command of

Zff 'Tin- ItlcUmondWhig of the 25th ult. says,
that civil liberty is menaced within tne Con
federacy by the very men who were foremost
in stirring up the war. From being rigiil con
structionists, they have become the advocates
of mere power; and it is reported very cur
rently that a scheme of consolidation is on
foot, and that views precisely such as those
which Alexander Hamilton succeeded In dis
seminating so widely and rendering so popu
lar and potential in the old Union, are exten
sively held in the South; tiiat the Confederate
Government is to Ik; assimilated to that of
(Jreat Britain; that an aristocracy is to lie es
tablished, and wealth made in the Ix-giuning
tlie passport to place and power. But the
Whig warns statesmen and others against the
consequences of this design. It says:
“The whole body of the Southern people arc
an aristocracy, and no community is more
jealous for an absolute equality of rights and
privileges than a community of aristocrats.
The attempt to degrade such a community,
and to establish a privileged class over its
head. M ill he Certain ruin to those who make
it. It is a scheme which M ill suddenly and ig
nominiously fall as soon as discovered, and
which M ill involve its foolish projectors in utter
ruin. It Cfllllfl not snccf-nd in tin* South l-V.-ll
if tlie judiciary were silenced by martial law,
the press overthrown, and every safeguard of
civil liberty broken down. The people, im
pelled by that same spirit in which they have
met and overthrown the power of the public
enemy, would turn upon the pigmies at home
and annihilate them with a breath.”
From Pensacola.—A Pensacola letter of
Sept. 90th, in the Philadelphia Press, reports
that quite a fleet is collecting there, awaiting
the arrival of iron-clads In order to attack
Mobile. Fort Morgan, the main defence of
Mobile, is situated on the right bank of the
channel, and mounts one hundred guns. Fort
Gaines, the second defensive work, is on Dau
phin's Island: it mounts fifty guns,and can di
rect a formidable cross-fire w ith Fort Morgan.
The war vessels at Pensacola are as follows:
flag-ship Hartford; Brooklyn; sailing frigate
Potomac; steam frigate Susquehanna; sailing
sloops Vincennes and I’rehle—the latter has
been made a hospital ship: gunboats Kennelicc
Kanawha, Cayuga, Gcmsbok ami Westfield.—
Mortar fleet, ferry boat Clifton, Lieut. Com
manding Law, and six mortar schooners, with
a number of ordnance ships, transports, <&c.
Wilson’s Zouaves are stationed at Pensaco
la, and arc said to have become excellent sol
diers, although lamous in the foraging way.—
Billy Wilson occupies ex-Sena tor Mallory's
house. The correspondent remarks:
“ While passing the latter recently, I found
a large body of the Zouaves hanging pictur
esquely around the chimney tops, turrets and
cornices, taking the benefit of a cool breeze
with tlie greatest nonchalance — their legs
hanging down, and acting generally as if per
fectly satisfied with their present position, and
determined to make the most of it. Col. Wil
son was sitting on the front porch.’’
Tlie Balk of England directors had a
terrible frigbt two or three weeks ago—not on
account of the loss of tbeir water-marked
paper, but from She summary invasion of tlie
bullion room of the Bank. A correspondent
of the Birmingham Post tells tlie story thus :
“The directors received an anonymous let
ter, stating that tlie writer had tlie means of
aseess to their bullion room. They treated the
matter as a hoax, and took no notice of the
letter. Another more urgent and specific let
ter failed to rouse tltflwi. At length the writer
offered to meet them in the bullion room at
any hour they pieased to name, 'rticy then
communicated with their correspondent
through the channel he had indicated, appoint
ing ‘some dark and midnight hour’ lor the
rendezvous. A deputation from tlie board,
lantern in hand, repaired to the bullion room,
locked themselves in, and awaited the arrival
of the mysterious correspondent. Punctual
to the hour a noise was heard below. .Some
hoards in the floor were without much trouble
displaced, and in a few minutes the Guv
Fawkes of the bank stood in the midst of llie
astonished directors. His story was very sim
ple and straightforward. An old drain run
under tlie bullion room, the existence of which
had become known to him, and hy means of
which he might have carried away enormous
sums. Inquiry was made. Nothing bad boeu
abstracted, and the directors rewarded tlie
honesty and ingenuity of their anonymous cor
respondent—a working man, who had been
employed in repairing the sewers—by a pre
sent oi tWAi.
The Fate of Slaveby.—The Baltimore
American, which does not consider thdissu
ing of ttie emancipation proclamation a judic
ious movement, says nevertheless:
“ For all the eviLs of war which curse the
land it must la1 remembered that slavery
arotes Its responsibility. It proudly claims it—
a- we have said—and let none marvel, there
fore, at seeing blows dealt it wherever they
may soon effective. The time for trilling is
past; and whilst men may sjieculate profound
ly on primary cause and effect, on what this
or that clause ol the Constitution may permit
in dealing with men who defy it altogether,
slavery is being pushed to the wall to perish
there. As we have long since shown, it did
not tierish iu a legitimate manner iu Mexico,
but it perished as the consequence of revolu
tion, and so it is destined to perish here. Its
fate—as matters tend—will lie told iu words
of another revolutionist to those who would
vindicate its past prerogatives: “Will you
never forego argument with men who wear
swordst ”
The Washington correspondent of the
Journal says:
Governor lioutweli has thrown a shell into
the ranks of the “dead and alive” men in of
tlce here, by his fearless declaration of the duty
of public men at the present crisis. “It is,”
said lie, “the duty of all men who participate
iu the administration of public affairs, due to
themselves, to their country, and to Heaven,
to abandon the positions they hold, if they do
not believe, earnestly, faithfully, and without
wavering, in the great cause to which the peo
ple of this country are called, w hich is the
maintenance on this soil of the principles of
freedom, (not liouudeil by color, or country,
or race,) but acknowledging, iu the govern
ment which we set up, and iu the rights which
we recognize in all men, that he, who has been
created by ids Maker, iu the image of his Ma
ker, is entitled to equal rights with any other
man in the country, or upon the earth.”
special despatch IVom Washington
to the Boston Journal says that the cordial en
dorsement of the President's proclamation by 1
the convention of Governors, adds to its popu
larity here. Gen. McClernand—who is regard
ed as the leader of the Douglas Democrats—
cordially endorses it. A yet unpublished let
ter Irom Robert Dale Owen was laid before
the President, just before the proclamation ap
peared, which gave stronger, and more urgent j
reasons for its issue than those previously ad
vanced in his published letter based on Euro
pean intervention.
Hon, Alexander II. Rice of Boston
hits declined to be a caniilate for rc-eloctiou.
Thk Great Drawback. — Col. Forney
makes the following observations, which con
tain altogether too much truth:
“The great drawback iu the prosecution of
the war is the habit of many, in and out of
the army, in office and out of office, who
think they are loyal, and yet who cannot rid
themselves of the prejudices of party or of
social life, lusensibly, such people accustom
themselves to indifference to the great crime
of the rebellion, and to a habit of criticising
\yhat they think the errors of the Administra
tion. i hold it as a fact that in all my exper
ience 1 have never yet known to be success
fully contradicted, that whenever a statesman
or a soldier allows himself to chaff against
“ Illack Republicanism and Abolitionism,” he
generally, and at last, comes to consider Seces
sion as a moderate offense, that may be Ireadly
excused and easily defended.”

TODD’S LTV SOLIS
H A I FL_ DYE!
TIIE market lias been flooded for vemr* with differ
ent articles called Hair Dves, which have never
satisfied the expectations of purchaser*. The xe
PLce ultra has been reached at last in TODD'S
HAIR DYE. and the article ha* given entire satis
faction to every person who has used it. It contains
no injurious ingredients, and gives the hair a bcauti
fhl rich brown or black color. IHrcctions for using
—which are very simple—accompany each bottle.
One superiority of Todd s Lux ?*ofi* Hair Dye over
all others is, you do not have to cleanse the’hair or
wash it before or after using the dve. and there is but
one kind to be used, and that can be put on the same
as oil and water, without any trouble, unlika all oth
er dye* that have two or three different kinds to be
applied every time wed. This dye is jiruharlv
adapted for coloring ladies' hair, because you do not
have to wash out the dye after putting it oh. t’nlike
aliotherdyes.it will ’color long hair, which other
dyes cannot do. Live this new article a trial, as we
know you will use uo other alter once using this.
