At ih late rlection <n Kentucky wo havo written on ar

by our loaders that the rebels must not be recognized

that the Union must be preserved oven If tire and sword

of the I'nion 18 tho last alternative, to gain the pence fut
which the strives, that Kentucky is willing to accept(Jpon
her block In the natiuual monument is wrltton a
prophecy which we have again |pronounoed, and Kentucky?unfettered
by politicians and the unnatural influence
of rebellious States?"Kentucky will bo the la*t to
leave the Union."
The conduct of tbn domostic public affairs of th? State,
as it roauu 01 una election, ih placed m tne hands or men
who, mild ami conservative as they aro in their views,
arc unwavering in their fruity to tlio Union. A previous
election had placed similar men aa her representative! in
tbe national Legislature. They are men eminently fitted
for the task, aud they will conduct tlio Statu through the
war with honor to itself and benefit to the country.
The Legislature, which is lo meet in September, will
kave its work cut and dried for it. Of this there are two
jmluts which are talked of uow, and which will soon be
advocated by tlio organs of the party.
Gov. Jlajjofllu has by se\ eral indiscreet measures ren"
dcrod himself liable to a charge of impeachment. In
tensely Southern In his views, he bos prostituted his official
position in aiding tho Southern rebels in various
ways. His correspond. nee with the Southern Secretary
of War is in the hauil* of men who ititend
using it ; aud I understand it proves ' inclusively
liia connivance at and authorization of the raising
of regiments for tbe Southe u army. It alt ars that it
formal requisition wus uifte upon him by Secretary
Walker, of the southern confederacy, which bo answered
in a style which would have been more becofcing him had
it been iu reply to a similar requisition of tho i'nited
States Secretaiy of War. In the matter of the seizure of
State arms the (iovernor l.a:< also made himself liable,
though you will see by what follows that he is attempting
to repair that error. The retributiou will quickly follow ]
the commission of the crime, and the criminal Governor, j
impeached and found guilty, will leave his power and his I
chair to some more devoted ami loyal sou of the nation |
mid the State.
Tlwdisunionists dT th>s State were very anxious to raise '
standing army, under the guise of a Slate Guard, to preserve
the neutrality of Kentucky. They can now, ,

The Louisville Courier (sesecli), in an articlo on the
"proponed attemit of the abolitionists at Washington" to

THE FINANCIAL POLICY OF THE REBELS.
(From the ltichmond Examiner, July 31.J
Tl>e secret session* of Congress (which were continued
yesterday) aie occupied Willi tho maturing of a plan of
fluaocial policy lor the government which will be |ierma
nent during iln war. It is understood that the debate on
this s ilyi-i t pr-seuts a single alternative, on which the
sontimei t of (Oi.gress is milch divided. It Is, whether
the Kovormui'til sho.ld extend the produce loan, or
whether it r Ii miM take the control of tin? crops of cotton,
augur and tobacco its purchaser. Knch plan has its respective
advatitaf.es. The latter, however, is cmisulsrrd more
direct, more mailable and comprehending a larger mutuality
of auvant'iges, and is recommended by views, con
tallied in memorials to Congress, of gome or ths largest
plan tea mid most important capit ilists of the Smth.
Tho produce loan dul scarcely more than establish a
system of securities |(>r the investment of capitalists. It
might thus, probably, bo considered too limited for the
necessities of tlie government, 't he system of purchase
is recommenced .is yielding advantages beyond the
mere ends of contributing to pay the expenses of the
war. In the supply of a medium of general circulation,
which the government will not only use in its pure bases.
but which will go into popular exchanges. This alone
will bo of great advantage. The government's issue of
Trea.si.rv notes as the basis of its iinrehiuii s of ibe rot.
ton, sugar and tobaccoof the South will tlnd it* way into
general circulation, and, if It i.s allowed to repulse entirely
the paper currency of the banks, we shall have at
one? for tlie South a uniform currency renting on the
most reliable securities, and with a direct representation
of Talui' In the gold of Europe or it* bills of exchange.
(Truin the Richmond Examiner, August 3.]
As far as tin' reprea illations of the planting interest
have reached Congress, they favor thai financial plan of
the government which proposes to take control of ttie entire
growi g crop of cotton,or an approximation thereto.
The (juvi uinent may do this u* purchaser, or may lake
similar control over the crop by a system of advances of
o portion of i?B value, in antidilution of fair prices, which
latter sch would still secure the personal interest of
the plant -r in tlm cotton, ami his usual care in |iaeking
mnl sheltering his crop. Ilia government purchases or
advauos mnoe In Treasury notes, payable in one or two
years, would nive It ample time to realize on the o< it ton;

Map e as t>> make it display all the |>ower it iiostiosae* in

power of ih' staple in the hands of the government is
limited and enleebled, as It divides the proprietary in

the lormer under tin1 burthen of a discretion not entirely

WISE IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
The Richmond correspondent of tho Charleston tftrcury,
1 writing July ;t0, says:?Since writing also I have learned
I that tieu Wise, on the line of tho Kanawha, lias bf n
hard pressed by a superior I'nion force, and was in danger
' of losing Iiih command. It is reported, however, that
1 he has r.tlleu bark io near the White Sulphur f-'p' iugs, uud,
I breaking the hi Hges behind him, in tolerable safety.
The disnttectloti in that region, however, is very great.
Under headway before ho started, b? has hardly been
able to urruiit It. lie has not yet been able to raise more
than about 3,f>00 men, who are badly provided for the
campaign, and it is doubt 'd whether, without assistance
from abroad, he will be able to scsUIn himself.
You may remember that when I llrnt raine to Virginia
1 was impressed with the Importance of this movement
, in the West?more Impressed by It, perhaps, Uian many
persons in the State. The common expression here was
that it was "a tcni|H'St in a teapot;" but to me it imported
civil war, and a war from which Virginia was
likely to suffer a* much, or more, than f"< "i invasion.
To that opinion I adhere, and fear that wh invader
shall be drawn off there will, in that regi it, .-till be men
lighting to tho death for what they conceive to he their
liberties mid homes.

continuation of all previous new* that we have bad about
the infamies and outragea which Wise committed while in
tho valley. For cool and wanton atrocity in robbery,
theft and destruction of property Ins caieer has no
parallel in modern times. For W"> ks previous to hi* hurried
and precipitate retreat, he kept his iciurrillun on
stantly scouring and marauding the counti's of Kanawha
and Jackson, seizing ail the cattle and horses ol Uu-ioii
men, and prrt<fiditig to buy them of disunion men, nut
never payaig anything to anybody. These cattls *ud
horses he wnt on to the Karl, until there sri very tew
got il horses left in the counties named. Other counties
fared hut little beltor. He burned nearly every bridge in
tho valley except the tlno suspension bridge across l\lk
river, which be ordered cut down and tired ills
order was partially prevented by the vigilance
of some of the citizens. Tho bridge, however,
was so weakened as to i ender it useless. He hurried
two tine steutnlioats, after he was compelled to1
abandon them, and it is said, although our informant will
not vouch for the truth of his own personal knowledge,

This is a rainy day here, and a rainy day at a watering
place has the combined disadvantages of a rainy day in
the city and in tbo country, without any of the redeeming
features of either. There is absolutely nothing to do ex
cept to talk, bowl and play billiards. You cannot drive
to Pleasure Day,or to tho village, or down the road. Only
the voterans bathe and walk tho beach. The ladies
wrapped up iu thick shawls, cannot even look attractive.
No one will dance, for all must go unwearied to the ball
this evening. In short, one c;m only feel miserable,catch
the Influenza and promenade drearily up and down the
dump piazzas.
Above all, and adding to the dulness of all, Mrs
Lincoln has not arrived up to the hour of this
writing, and no one can imagine that aba will
Como such a day as this. Archbishop Hughes,
Michael I'hclan, Genoral Mclkiugal and othor celebrities
have dropped down upon us and are quartered ut
the Mansion or the Metropolitan, but tlio genuine sensa
tion has not yet come. There is nothing, therefore, lo
look forward to cxccpt the fancy dres* ball to night.
Yes, there is tho ocean, also, to louk at, and a very
dreary looking object it is to-day, and very dreary
thoughts it excites. It is singular how something everywhere
reminds one of the crisis and the commercial dis
tress of our couutry. Now, here at Long Branch, you
may get over tho half empty hotels, the more economics,
dressing, and the general reduction in extravagant ex
p. nditure, and after seeing these u few days they mu>
cease to remind you of hard times. But you cau never
get over that constant reminiscence?tho ocean. There
it stretches before you, anil you have in view the groat
pathway of the oceanic commerce of New York. How
many ships do you see travelling that path? Last year
they came in fleets, and a dozen steamers passed to and
t'ro in a day. This year half a dozen vessels, of all sorts,
ii a. i.ur avuragu. i.iuu niion'i s "uiu mail 01 ine sea,
tln'so thoughts come upon one oven in the midst of
enjoyment, and you cannot shut tin in cut.
There nro fourteen hotels straggled along the beach here
at Lou;; Hranch, and I should imagine they were al
doing a moderately Root business for the season. l'eopl.
are arriving and departing so constantly, and bo m u y
run down here from New York only for a day's stay, that
it i? hard to estimate whether wo arc gaining or losing
ground. 1 think, however, that within the last two day?
the Hranch has hoen filling up, and with a very good ciass
of people. Mrs. Lincoln's anticipated arrival has caused
this, I presume, for it is almost too near September for
people to be coming here, with great trunks, unless excited
by some unusual attraction.
Of these new comers we of the National get what seems
te be the lions share, and very justly. The poople here
form so many and such variwl coto. ii s that no one can
help being suited with some sort of society. For the dancing
sot, especially, we ar-> amply provided. Of ladies we
hfi'-e several well know n Philadelphia, New York and more
provincial boll's, and of gentlemen we furnish an excel,
lent assortment, with any number of genuine "you
know" British oflicers, all the way from Canada. The
officers are a great attraction?ladies lik" yilt straps and
buttons?and also a great curiosity. They have a room together,
are summoned to meals and bud by bugle calisi
and altogether observe a sort of military discipline and
routine. The National, therefore, has something of the
life and piquancy of a West l'oit^t hotel with its cadets,
and, besides all this, Mrs. Lincoln is said to bo coming
I here.
Amid all the crowds of new comers and old boarders,
however, there i* no character more conspicuous and better
1 worth studying than th? belle of last year. She maybe
its uwu old hello. List season she wiis the acknowledged
lea ier and mistress of the house. landlords ami waiters
flew to do tier bidding: people danood, sour op played
cards in the parlor as she pleased, aud subject to her
whim. If she wanted (ian'ing, t!;r? card tables were re'
moved, whether the peo| l<- h id finished their gardes or not.
If she insisted to play e, irds, the tables worn placed in the
c.!iitre o.'the roon^attd the dancing interrupted. When she
promenaded, all followed; when she drove, all rushed
Hie teams: vrh -n sh" bathe 1, every ono put oti a bulling
dross and went to the beach : when she snug, all listened
t and applauded. The ladies r.dmired, envied and
3 imitated her; the gentlemen rivalledcictaothur in pay|
inn her attentions, quat rolled for the first danc* with her,
thought it an honor todrive her, to ptirvhase bouquets for
a h?r, and wore perfectly happy if she walked with tliutn,
i, miserable if slit- talked to any o:n> else, and delighted to
be of any service to her. In tine, she wit? a summer
i (|ti"eu,surrounded by n most attentive though jealous
court, and the centre" alike of envy, admiration, prats*.
r satire, blamo and love. Leaving these triumphs when
u fall came, she reinrna here this year to renew them. But,
'f alas! wh'.t a rhunge. New f.ie s are here, and the old
ones are turned from her towards tho new belle of the
f house. She sings, and 110 one listens, but all talk, she
u diinee?, but is oh'lged to taken lady partner. In vain sh >
e tries every art, and exercises ever} fascination otiee so
d powerfil and successful. The tide is against her. and
a she floats downward with It. She U called atl'ected, and

e there are many others here hardly less interesting and
-I unique.
The actors form quite a little community hero at Ix>ng
Rranch. As I have before noticed. Archbishop Hugh-s.
and l heiau, of billiard fame, ar" hen at the same hotel,
lint the actor* do not mi* them together or with other
people, end have a cluster of cottages by themselves some
distance down the road. There is the beautiful, miniature
?choiili>t that tine actor and perfect gentleman, the elder
i Wallack. and with him Uster is stopping. Farther on,
down n shady lane, is Mrs. Hoey's cottage, quaintly compounded
of n modern built, cupolaed nfl'air un-t an old
house, once the residence of (Jen. Greene, of Revolutionary
fame Still further away is Mr. Blike'? residence, a
qtteerly built cottage, with the stairs upon the outside;
and then at Ileal is Mr. James Wal.nck's place, which is
considered very handsome, nrlgnoli lias iust left hero,
or is liermitir.g somewhere about. We have, therefore,
actors enough hero to form quite a set by themselves, if
they do not care to mingle with more ordinary people.

extremely dull. Bankers ask 107%, but sell at

Stocks were dull this moruing, but prices were
better. The bulls are arguing that the Treasury , ,
note expansion must benefit stocks, and the bears |
seem to be offering but a feeble resistance. An S
issue of Treasury notes will hardly iiu-r >asc railway |
traffic, or render the people of Virf i better able !
to pay their debts than they arc a, present; but, |
on the Stock Exchange, intrim'-: values seldom
eovern the movement of prices. At the morning g

The Secretary of the Treasury arrived from
Washington tins morning, and met a number of
leading bankers at the Bank of Commerce at one
1'. M. lie explained his fiuaneial programme to
them, aiul elicited their views with regard to the
disposal of the various classes of Treasury note*
which he is authorized to issue by the recent act of
Congress. The conference broke up at four I*. M.,
without any formal understanding having been
reached. We believe that the bankers are invited
to meet Mr. Chase for further conversation at the
residence of Mr. Sub-Treasurer Cisco this evening,
and to-morrow, possibly, some definite shape may
be given to the Secretary's plana.
The following is an extract, from a letter addressed
by a leading banking house at Mobile to
their correspondents in this city, under date of Aagust
2:?
Vn.tcr government orders all letters are now superviseil
by aa oillctir at each point, preventing remit tancei
(except abroad) out of tha confederacy.
This is a very fitting sequel to the acts of repudiation
nassedbv the Confederate Congress and the I
various legislatures of the rebel States. The Post
Office, under the management of the rebel government,
in to bo converted into an organized spy jj
department; and, by the aid of discoveries tuade by I
si?y ing into private letters, the honest men of the
rebel States are to be punished for paying their
just debts. It does not appear likely, however,
that such prosecutions will bo common.
A? a general rule, the merchants of the South have f
acquiesced cheerfully enough in the repudiating
policy of their government. Whatever the ranee 1 |
may be, the fact is certain that the Southern peo- I ]
j)le?as a whole?o*'incc very little scruple at ]
cheating their Northern creditors, and very little It
shame at the degradation which they have brought ! 1
on themselves. Letters arrive here daily, via ;
