SATURDAY, trust tbb people. The people are a long way ahead of the Government, tbt Press and the Pulpit in a knowledge of the true causes of the War. Their interests, if not unerring and infal lible, point nearer to the truth than the formulas observed by our rulers, the tra ditions adhered to by the, press, of the conservatism of the , popular theology, hardly yet released from the grasp of- that atheism which approves, or fails to condemn, the buying - and selling of men. History teaches, whenever its pages are searched with a sincere desire to wrest Irulh from the prejudice and par tiarsbip of authors, that the people—peo ple even who cannot boast our own apti tude for and instruction in the art of self goven meet,—are always to be trusted, when unopposed, with the conduct of their own affairs. In all changes of gov ernment, in modem times, the people have never failed to comprehend their real needs, and never except to destroy enemies or defeat reactionary movements have they willingly gone beyond the point in which their advancement in the art of govern ment bids them stand. The blood that has been poured out in revolutions is not chargeable to popnlaraccount. The people sre not revengeful. Tyrants only delight 'in savage deeds. In the present rebellion against a Gov ernment organized by the people, the les sons of history are not to be disregarded by either loyal men or rebels. If e may see that the popular demand is the proper one, and that no established institutions of State or Theology can stand against it ; that the quickest acquiesence in what the people ask is the safest; that whoever or whatever is set up to oppose the nation al will, goes down; that laws and consti tutions are only the expressions of what teas once deemed sulficientfor the necessity of the State—paper bargains between the individuals of the masses, that may be changed cr annulled in a day. Shall it be said, that because our ancestors acquiesced in the fact that slavery existed, wc their children, a people ten times greater, and having suffered a hundred times more from its evils, are debarred, in the tempest of civil war, from pushing it aside ? As well be it held that mankind had no right to kick loose from the shackles of the feudal ages, or from the mythology of Greece, There is no unchangeable law but the Di vine law. The march of human develop ment sweeps grandly over thew' rst obsta cles of venerable ignorance and wicked ness. They who seek to oppose it, do but buQd sand hillocks on the sea shore, which the neit wave shall leveL And even now, despite the prejudice and short sightedness of individuals, the wave is rising and gathering strength, which shall erase the most formidable obstruction to American progress. Slavery is doomed to fall ere the sword now drawn returns to the scab bard, and to the people, under the Al mighty Euler, will belong the glory and the reward. WISCONSIN POLIIICS The following tickets for State officers have been nominated by the Union and Republican parlies respectively, in Wis consin: UNION TICKET. Fcr Governor— L. P. BABVET. Lieutenant-Governor—WM. C. ALLEX. Secretary rf State—J. T. LEWIS. Treasurer— S. D. BASTINGS. Attcrnty Ga\eral-3A2SE& H. HOWE. Bank ComplrdUtr-JCJiy BBACKEy. SvpL of Public Instruction—McKDfDLEY, State Prison Commissioner— HANS C. HEG. EEPUBUCAN TICKET. Governor— L. P. HAEYEY. Lt. Governor—ED WARD SALOMON. Secretary of State-3 AMES T. LEWIS, Treasurer—SAlSl... D. HASTINGS. Attorney General —JAMES H. HOWE. Bant CcmptroUer—W. S. BAMSET. Supt. PubTtc Instruction—J. L, PICKAED, State Prison Cctn'r —HANS C. HEG. The only difference between the two tickets is found in the names of the can didates for Lieutenant-Governor, Bank Comptroller and Superintendent of Public Instruction. Practically both Conventions nominated Union tickets—both having di vided the places to be filled pretty fairly between Republicans and Democrats. The resolutions of the two bodies, also, are so nearly alike that there is nothing to choose between them. The Republican Conven tion, by the way, skipped around the sub ject oi Fremont’s proclamation in a man ner not very lucid to saythe least; and we imagine that neither the President nor the General will ever know which one of them (if either) Is intended to be censured. The resolution, (wMch will be found inanother column), says in effect that when it be comes necessary to strike down slavery the Government ought to strike it down with out compunction. Surely there needs no ghost come from Hhe grave, nor a Con vention come from anywhere, to tell us this. The personnel of both tickets is, we think, excellent. Mr. Harvey has been in public life more or less for ten or fifteen years, and has always acquitted Mmself ucU. He passed through the fire of the La Crosse corruption, in the Legislature of 1557, without singeing a hair, which ought to guarantee any candidate for public favor, on the sccre of integrity. Mr. Har vey will now enjoy the rare fortune of a unanimous election. Mr. Hastings, the former Treasurer, is in the same category —nominated by both parties and worthy of every vote in the State. As to the can didates for the few offices to which differ ent nominations have been made, no in terest will be excited outside of the State, and inasmuch as no principle is in issue, there can be no propriety in our discussing that phase of the subject. Sire at Lacon Hl* The distillery connected with W. J. Graves & Co.’s “Model” flowring mfll/at Lacon, HL was burned last Sunday night; loss $30,000, partially insured. The fire was caused by the Ignition of gases upon the bursting of the high wine pipe; and it was only with the greatest difficulty that the flouring mill was not also burned. These mills were owned by Oswego parties, and the flouring mill alone was worth over $40,0C0. A Secession DsrAtXTEß.—The lowa State says that Thomas Sargeant, U. 8. Re ceiver at Fort Bodge, is a defaulter in the sum of $4,309, and npon the arrival of P. F, Wilson, special agent of the Treasury Depart ment, he not only refused to malrp. any effort to settle but openly defied the authority of the Government. Ever since the outbreak of the rebellion, Sargent has sympathised with the South, end it was only suitable that he ahonld prove Ms admiration of Floyd, Thompson & co., by beccmlrg a thief as well as a traitor. He is probable cm this under arrest. His bondsmen arc believed'to be amply responsi ble for the amount of hi* defalcations. If we should undertake to correct all the misrepresentations of the two journals published at Springfield, in tMs State, we should have little time to devote to graver duties. We observe that one of them says wc recently nominated Fremont for the Presi* deucy, and that tbe other quotes ns as saying, “ Fremont is worth more to the Union cause f bftTi all Kentucky.” Both statements are en tirely false. By the way, we should like to know wheth er the State Journal is> in favor of Mulligan’s surrender,or against if.

Dangers or Campsene. —At Detroit, last Wednesday evening, while H. C. Buck was heating a can of alcohol with other ingre dients upon the stove, for the manufacture of some patent “painkiller,” the can exploded, and covered him and three ether persons pre sent in a sheet of flame*. The parties were William Marshall, Mrs. Cooper, and a servant girl; and while all are badly burned Buck alone is considered in a critical condition. A Singular Case.— The Messrs Marty, brothers, one living in Portsmouth, N. H., the other in New Orleans, owned four ships. The Southern brotherhoisted the secession flag on two of them, and they were seized by the United States authorities. The other two, floating the Stars and Stripes, were captured by the rebels. Baaitennatfer Charles Lelb, Capt Lelb of this city, it. 8. Quartermaster at Clarksburg, Va,, charged with speculat ing with the Government funds, publishes a defence of himself, the material portion of which is as follows: It is due to my official position that I should be fairly represented. That I paid some of the em ployee* at Ibis post in Wheeling money is true. Many of them were in absolute want, and when 1 here was not a dollar of Government money here, I borrowed np.n my own responsibility over ten thousand dollars, so a* to he able to pay them; but it is untrue that I speculated in that or any other kind of mono?, and would ecorn to do eo mean a thing. Orly yesterday Gov. F- U. Pelrpolnt telegraphed me that Col. Ford’s Ohio Regiment had arrived without a dollar, and asked me if it were In my power to furnish the Quartermaster with funds. My reply was ibat I bad no Government funds, bat would let Mm have one thousand dollars,which money I borrowed and paid to him. The Quarter master informed me that neither tiie Quartermas ter General nor Capt. Dickerson could famish the money. Under similar circumstances, I would do eo again, becaaee the interests of the public ser vice require it. So far as my official conduct i* concerned, I in vite the most thorough investigation. I will not again defend myself from so unjust and malignant an attack. To which the ■Wheeling’‘AnfrK/s , ewcr says: Let us take him upon his own’ admission*. Maty of the men wto received this money paid eight percent to get it exchanged for gold. It is well known that this is about the average discount on Wheeling paper; so we will esy that the discount on this SIO,OOO was $8C0; that instead of being worth SIO,OOO it was worth hut $9,200. Adopting the state ment that there was no government money in Copt. Leib's hands, and that he borrowed and paid out the money for the government on his own responsibility, we conclude that he will be re'imbuis&d, or has been, in the borrowed Bvm SIO,OOO. He will receive gold or Treas ury notes for paper money worth 8 per cent, less than the face value. Therefore he will receive SIO,OOO for $9,200 paid out. One thing la certain. There are SBOO made and loet somewhere in the transaction. For, according to immutable principles, wherever there is aloes there is also a gain,appearances and epedous argument to the contrary not withstanding. ffe know who lose this SBOO - the question is, who make it ? There are but three parties to the transaction. The first of these, the Government, doesn't make it, that we know. The second, Captain Leib, ssys he don't make it, for he “ would scorn to do so mean a thing.” It must be, then, that the third party, from whom the money was procured, makes it. To suppose that Captain Lcib was thus ontgenerallcd by his banker, is the most charitable view that can be taken of his case. This view of the case give* Mr. Leib the bfut fit of all that he claims in his card. We might take another view. By scanning that card critically, it will be observed that Capt. Lieb sajs “ ihvrt was not ” a dollar of Govern* ment money in his possession. He does not say it could not have been procured. He is content with taj irg it wasn’t there. At the time he was making these temporary arrange meats, and generously borrowing money on his “ own responsibility,” he held a draft, we are credibly informed, on New York that would have brought gold whenever presented. There was also a quarter or half a million of government gold in the Custom House here in Wheeling, sent here, we have been told, ex pref sly to pay army expenses. Had the gen* crons Captain need the same exertions in this direction that he did in borrowing on Ms ” own responsibility,” he might have negoti ated the use of a few thousand of this gold until he could draw on his New York draff. Capt. Leib invites investigation. We learn that he will begratifled in that respect shortly. Captain Leib, it will be remembered, was rejected by tie Senate, and afterwards reap pointed. Tlie Case of Co). Iff ax Einstein. Col. Einstein, of Uie Pennsylvania 17t.1i, now under arrest at Washington and likely to be sent borne a disgraced maa, seems to have been, ruined by the praise bestowed upon him in sensation newspapers. The correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says: The story as it has been told to me is simply this, and, without desiring to be unjust to wards CoL Einstein, it should be published. Col Einstein returned from Bull Run under the Impression that he had performed all the valor exhibited on the day of the Manassas battle. This impression was heightened throughout the North by lie publication of a statement in the telegraphic columns of the Northern papers to the effect that his regiment had returned to the field »ai brought away a number of cannon. Uhls was untrue, as the regiment no exception to the regiments on tfcc field that day; it was kept in the re serve. four miles from the conflict; it retreat ed with the retreating column; shared in the panic which all felt; came into Washington in quite as disorganized condition, and took no part at all in the fight. The demoralization of the regiment at last reached such a point that it was found necessary to place the men under a strict discipline. To this proceeding CoL Einstein objected, and assailed the general commanding in angry terms, intimating that the troops at Bull Bun had all been cowards, with the exception of Ms regiment. For this he was directed to place himself under arrest. At first he was allowed the privilege of his esmp, but I am now told this has been denied him, as Ms intercourse with the men has been of a nature character-zed to render them in iffident. Gen.

Philadelphia Gazette.] With the arrest of almost every man spring np delegations, who wait upon the President, ashing a release, and always, of course, upon tbe ground that the prisoner is a Union man. For several days Mr. Lincoln has been giving audience to delegations from Maryland, inte rested In the release of some of the men re cently arrested in that State. Henry May’s friends are making strong efforts, bat 'without any prospect of success; and even Mayor Brown, wLose treason is ss notorious as that of Governor Magoffin, finds sympathizers amorg men whose loyalty is believed to be beyond question. On Saturday a few of these earnestly urged the President to order the Mayer’s release, accompanying their request with strong protestations cf Mb innocence, and claiming him to be in favor of the Union and the Government. The President, as is bis custom, quietly listened nntil the spokes man of the party bad got tbrongb, when be said, “1 believe, gentlemen, if we arrested Jiff Davis, committees would wait upon me and represent him to be a Union man.’’ lie then related a conversation he had with tbe Mayor in tbe spring, which plainly indi cated his sympathy with the rebels, and added —“I Lave not heard of any act of Mayor Brown since, which would lead to the belief that he was in favor of supporting the Gov ernment to put down this rebellion.” The Mayor’s friends quickly left for Baltimore, wiser if not better men. It may as well be generally understood, that no more is to be gained by deputations and committees who wait upon the President to ask the release of prisoners than by similar bodies who seek the removal of a Cabinet Minister. When a party in New York sent on Its deputation to ask the removal of Messrs. Cameron and Welles, the President contented Mmself by merely saying that "while swimming tbe river It was no time to swap horses. So with prisonero; while putting down rebellion it is not the time to tamper with men ot doubtful loyalty. Prisoners Released from Port Lafay- ette* (From the Evening Post, SSth.] James W. Wall, ot Burlington, N. J., George L. Bowne, of Coopers town, N. X., and Pierce Butler, oi Philadelphia, were released yester day from their confinement at Fort Lafayette. Mr. Wall was committed on the 11th instant, Mr. Bowne on the 10th instant and Mr. Butler on the 20th of August. Mr. Wall and Mr. Bowne took the following cath: " I do swear that I will support, protect and defend the constitution and Government of the United States against all enemies, wheth er domestic or foreign, and that I will bear tine faith, allegiance and loyalty ts the same, *ny ordinance, resolution or law of any State convention or legislature to the contrary not withstanding. And farther, tha*.l do this with a full determination, pledge and purpose without any mental reservation or evasion whatsoever.” No cath was tendered to Mr. Butler, but he signed the following pledge: “Be it known that I, Pearce Butler, have given my solemn pledge that during the pres ent troubles, I will do no act hostile to the United States, and wDI not visit South Carol! na without a passport from the Secretary of State.” The State Beqalsitlen-«-Ne Drafting. There is a prevailing impression that the government may deem it necessary to resort to drafting to fill np the last requisition ef twenty-five thousand men in this State to the nati« nsl army. At one lime the project was seriously considered; but that was when the national government, through the “ accepted” regiments, placed itself in competition with the Slate, and made the success of the Utter doubtful. But since the transfer of those regiments, the success of the requisition's .at sure d; and at present there are but seven or eight thousand volunteers needed to com-, plete it These will doubtless be enlisted within a mouth. There is not only no neces sity for drafting, to fill out the present rtqai sillon, but it Is believed that another call for «c equal cumber of men would within a r?a sonaole time be tnccessfui.— 2f.

Whether Paducah is to be attacked or not, or whether we are able to defend it or not, we are at least safe; for in a marvelously short t'-me, the 150 barges which arrived here on last Friday, the 20th, have been turned Into a regular plank road, stretching clear across the river and connecting us with the nn»nU shore. It seems exceedingly difficult to get reliable information as to the position and move ments of the enemy. When I was at Cairo last week, the report was that they had evacu ated Columbus and were moving on thlsplace; while here, the report at the same time was that they were evacuating every place which' they had occupied in this part of Kentucky, and were withdrawing into Tennessee in obedience to the pro clamation of Gov. Magoffin; and now it turns ont that they withdrew their troops only from Mayfield, and that they are from thirty to forty thousand strong ait Columbus, and aug menting their forces rapidly every day. latter information comes from one who was for some several weeks in their camp. He as sures us that they are determined to attempt the capture of this place, and tint they wul move upon it before long with 60,(A)0 men. He reports the troops u well armed and well fed, with the exception of Jeff Thompson’s tatterdemalions on the Mis EGuii shore, whom be represents as destitute of everything pertaining to the efficiency of soldiers’ food, clothing, arms, discipline and all. Bis means of information most have been good, but who he is and how he obtained bis information,it is not prudent to divulge. Unless they can take this place they ran make no successful demonstration upon any part of Kentucky, this side of tie southwestern comer of the State: for from here a force can be thrown in the rear of any column they may throw upon that portion of Kentucky from Brown county west; and with this place and Smithland, which lies at the mouth of the Cumberland, in our poesession, we can bo threaten the whole of Middle and 'West Tennessee as to keep all their troops at home. Beside thu unless they can wmt Paducah from us, they can make no stand of any consequence tins side cf Memphis; and as we are bound to move as soon as we get ready, the contest will inevitably bo transferred to Tennessee's “sacred soil.” I greatly lear, however, that we have net done with secession in Kentucky by a great deal The letter of the President to Fremont has-robbed his noble proclama tion of its moral effect, and secessionists and their secret sympathisers everywhere breaths freer, and are reassured that they can con tinue to act against the life of the Govern ment with impunity.

FKOZtt 'WISCONSIN* The Republican state Convention and Cane ldate»* - n Ultary jl flairs-.Obaerv aacb of Fast Day* [Corrcppondence of the Chicago Tribune.] Madison, Wia., Sept. 26,1561. The Republican Convention assembled at neon yesterday. It was the largest and fullest ever assembled In the State. All except some half dozen of the one hundred Assembly Dis tricts of the State were represented by men regularly accredited, and as intelligent and patriotic a set of men as ever came together in the State. There was a general feeling of disgust at the idea of having nominations die* tated by the meeting of the day before, and a conviction that some of the names put for ward were not the beat possible men that conld have been chosen; but yet, all displayed a dis position to act with the utmost generosity and liberality, and to make all reasonable sacrifices and concessions. There was very little strict partisan feeling. All attempts to commit the Convention to any line of policy in advance were promptly Toted down, and after completing permanent organization by electing what proved to be a capital President and an excellent Secretary, Messrs. David Atwood and J. S. Dean, the Convention proceeded in the usoal wuy to nominate a ticket for State officers. On the first ballot ont of 187 votea Hon. L. P. Harvey, of Beck county, present Secretary of State, received OC and C. C. Washbume 68, the balance scattering. The nomination of Mr. Htrrey was then made by acclamation with the utmost heartiness. Ob the first ballot for Lieut Governor Mr. Edward Salomon, of Milwaukee, had 117 of 183 votes, and W. C, Allen 43. On motion to make this nomination unanimous, a debate sprung up in which it was ably urged that the “ Union’ 5 nominations be ratified without ma terial change, which it was attempted to do by a resolution, only substituting for Superin ttndent of Public Instruction, Pickard for McKindlcy, and putting on Salomon for Bank Comptroller instead of Bracken. This waa voted down t and Mr. Salomon nominated Lt. Governor with great enthusiasm. The Union nominations for Secretary, Treasurer, Attor ney General and State Prieon Commissioner were then severally concurred in by acclama tion. For Bank Comptroller there were about two dozen candidates, and on the nomination there was a very lively time. After two bal lots, in which the leading candidates were Hon. W. H. Baroeay and Hon. N. H. Virgin the latter, an able Eepublican from Grant Co.; the former, without getting a clear majority on ballot, was nominated by acclamation. J. L. Pickard was then renominated for Superin tendent of Schools by an enthusiastic aye, with no dissenting voice. The Committee on Resolutions having had no time for consultation reported a longs cries written by one of their number, ably and elab orately setting forth the causes, facta and rem edies of the present rebellion, and endorsing the doctrine, of confiscation of property and slaves quite strongly. After an animated de bate—the great objection to the resolutions teirg their length, and an implied censure of the Administration—the first aid last of the series were adopted as follows: Sesoired, That the present war is and mnet be prosecuted for the sole purpose of suppressing treason, and maintaining the constitution and laws of the Union, and that the destruction of the lives, property or institutions of the people of the South can only he justified when indispensable as a means to secure that end; when eo necessary, the government must not falter in the path ofduty. If it mnet he eo, let the sword or the gibbet des troy the last traitor in the land, and the victorions legions of the Kerth tread underfoot the cherished idol of the South; but the Union must and shall be preserved. Mctvlred, That the Republican party should not be confined in the present crisis to ICS own party I in making nominations for office, but loyal and un- 1 conditional Union men of other parties are equally entitled to its confidence and support. After the appointment of a committee and the usual resolutions, the Convention ad journed with. the beat of feeling, having met, organized and completedits work within about ten home. Of the present State officers renominated by both Conventions, it la needless to say any thing. That they are “all right” is generally conceded. Mr, J. T, Lewis,agreed ou for Sec retary of State, was lieutenant Governor in 1854-8. He has always been a Democrat, but has had the respect and confidence of all par ties. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention, and is well known through the State. He is almost too honest for a nprt.itn class of politicians. Since the rebellion broke out he has largely devoted his time and means to raieieg volunteers. He accepted the nomi nation in a speech full cf loyal devotion to the Union. The Eepublican nominee for lieutenant Governor is a iawyeref Milwaukee, a German by birth, and a cultivated, high-toned and tal ented man, ot line personal .appearance, and with a perfect commend of English. Never a politician, he has always acted with the Dtmccratic but voted for Lincoln last fslL His nomination will be very acceptable fo Germans and to the people of Milwaukee. Hr. Bsmsay, of Ozaukee, baa been a strong Democrat, in a strongly Democratic county, where it is Eaid he will get all the votes. He was a member of the Hank Committee last winter, is a firetxate business man, a native of New England, where, as well as here, he has held important trusts, and was one of the first to csst aside patty ties and rally to the aid of the Government last Sprint, doing all he could to further measures necessary for the overthrow of rcbdHcm Mr McKindley, by accident the Union can didate for Superintendent, is a Democrat and has been a-prominent teacher in the State. Hr. Pickard, however, has secured the confi dence the people in a most unusual degree, as one who has shown by his works a deep Inter est in onr public school system, and ability successfully to direct its workings to the high est degree of efficiency. Military affairs in the State are in good con dition. 1 learn, at the Adjutant General’s of fice, that the Bth Regiment is full, will be equipped and ready to start for Washington within a week. The 9th Regiment, of Ger mans, has about 800 men enlisted and will be off for the .wars before long. The 10th is or dered into camp at Milwaukee, and has men enough reported and assigned to fill it up. The llib, which is to be a Dane County Regi ment, is aliesdy about half in camp here and has more than enough companies to HU it. The companies for the 12th and 13th Regi ments, the latter of which is to be of Rock aid Green counties,are in camp at Janesville, have not yet been asn'gced, but there is bo doubt cf enough men to fill them up speci fy. The Ist Regiment lacks 100 men ofbelng nil, aid is nearly ready again to enter ser vice. Many of Its men are scattered else where as effleos. The artillery regiment regiment has companies fhll for seven bat tenes, instead of the five requested, and goes into camp at Racine' forthwith. Three bat teries of rifled cannon are on the wav for its nee, and there is already one battery in the State. Authority was given to raise a battalion of cavalry. Over 500 men are now in camp at Ripon, and a regiment will the result instead cf half a one. A Scandinavian and an Irish regiment hare been set on foot and their suc cess is insured. Oar company of sharp shooters for Berdan’s regiment has gone on, as also a cavalry company for Fremont. Within six weeks it is calculated that Wisconsin will have 15,000 men In service. There wiU be no need of drafting here unless more than 20,000 are wanted. Fast day has been observed here aa never was a day before. The banks, and nearly all stores and shops, were closed. There were services, fall congregations, and appropriate sermons in nearly ail ihe churches, and part c-f the day the streets were as quiet as oh the Sabbath. There wss no local proclamation and scarcely any formal concert of action, but a ; spontaneous recognition of the pro priety of observing the day as recommended by the President.

As re ported, it would appear that the whole of the regiment belongs to “ Old Kane,” when, in truth and in fact, the “Little County of Kendall” h-s done as much towards fur nishing the “material,” and perhaps more than “ Old Kane.” In the formation of the regiment Kane county furnished four com panies, Kendall four companies, Grundy county one company, Du Page county one company, McHenry county one company, and one company from the Young America Sta tion on the C. B. & Q. R R t in warren county. In lauding the loyalty and patriotism of “Old Kane,” in connection with this regiment here after, it will be well to remember “Little Kendall” and the other localities who have put their hands together in the good work and formed this regiment.

[From the Albany Evening JbnnwL 25‘JlJ Croakers predicted immediate commercial ruin to the North as the result of the war. They told ns that while oar exports would be diminished two thirds in the single item of Colton, i mports would sustain comparatively little diminution; that we should thus buy much aud sell little—that there would be con sequently a heavy drain of specie from the country, and general bankruptcy would inevi tably ensue. The dismal prophecy has been happily falsi fied. The war in-.;; been in progress five months and wc “ hi live!” Nay, more: the country is far mere prosperous to-day than it was when President Lincoln Issued his first Proclamation for troops. Business of every kind is reviving. Money is both plenty and easy. Public and private credit are becoming belter every day. It we do not sell largely, we do not buy extravagantly. The ratio of im* Eoit and export has undergone comparatively ttle change. Better still. The gap in trade created by the Revolution ot King Cotton is already be ing filled. The cry for Bread comes tons from Europe. Wo are asked in lieu of Cotton, to load our ships with wheat and con. Every where—from England—from France-Lfrom Southern and Eastern Europe—the report of “ short crcps ” comes like a wail across the Atlantic. The millions of the Old World look to us for the “ Staff of Life.” Fortunately we were never in better condi tion to respond. Our granaries are well stored. The last season was unprecedented for its IhrUtiucEß of crops, while we shall raise mil lions mere then we shall need the present year. We shall be but too glad to supply our customers: but too glad to exchange “ round hoop Ohio ” and “ Milwaukee club ” for hard cash. This great export movement has already, commenced. For the week ending Tuesday the 17th, the engagements of wheat to France alone, in New York, amounted to over one million of bushels; while the engagements for a single day—Wednesday—nm up to the enormous figure of four hundred thousand bushels! For the same period the engage ments of flour have been forty thousand bar rels. Th:s dependence upon ns for Breadstufte, •while it will stimulate trade, wDI hold the “ Great Pomrs ”to their goodbehavior. They will be careful how they pick a quarrel with a country upon which they depend for their “ daily bread.” They will fbfnV it more ne cessary to obtain food for their bellies than focdlor their looms; will think it more im ps rativelo placate the Genius of Famine than to placate Manchester and Lyons. It would almost seem as if there was a Providence in this sudden-coming want of Europe—a want which we can only supply and a want which we can convert at once Into a source of wealth to ourselves, an instrument for the crushing out of the Rebellion, and a check upon the evil designs of rival Govern ncents. King Cotton finds himself confronted by King Bread and compelled to show cause why he shouldn’t share the honors of domin ion with him. Mr. Rmscll and our Army Officers. [Washington Correspondence N.T. Evening Post.] The petitioners who called forth the Russell “memorandum” from the State Department did not exactly understand the facts in the case, or they would not have sent a petition to Mr. Seward, The grievance of which the American people have a right, possibly, to complain, is, not that Dr. Russell writes such letters as he pleases, or that the London Times prints them, but that after the pub lication of the offensive letters, our leading generate' and public men continue to toady _ him, to invite him to go within our lines, to witness all the grand pa rades, as if the prosecution of the war were dependent upon Russell’s descriptions. The Setitions should have been sent to the War 'epartment, and not to Mr. Seward. lam informed by an intelligent EnrHfthrria-w here that Mr. Russell has constantly?’ever since Bull Run, been obliged to refuse pressing in vitations, and most of them from our officers. It is stated that he has never yec applied for a pass to go across the Potomac, but one was sent to him by Ger. Scott or Gen. McClellan. Of course this was a very plain intimation that he was desired to visit our camps at his leisure. To ask that such an individual, who is the recipient of such marked attentions from Government officers, should be sent out of the country is rather singular, and it is no wonder that Mr. Seward declined to interfere in the matter. The m&BDfsctnres of Philadelphia. [From tie Philadelphia Frees, 25th.] The Board of Trade of this city has recently published a valuable statement of the manu factures of our city. It was prepared by their talented and attentive Secretary, L. Blodget, after an examination of the census returns for 1860, made to the Government, and a diligent eflert to supply the defldences and correct the inaccuracies of the original reports of the deputy marshals appointed to canvass Phila delphia. It affords-a startling and gratifying proof of the magnitude of the industrial inter ests of cur city. It is am old maxim “ that one half of the world does not know how the oth er halflivesand it Is only by such a state ment fig this that weare enabled to realize how large a population, are dependent for subsis tence upon the manufactures they produce, and vrtat an immense variety of useful and or namental articles are made in our midst. We are told that “ one hundred thousand adults are engaged strictly to manufactures, and in es tablishments producing more than fire hun dred dollars’ worth yearly,” and that, exclu sive of every article of local consumption, there are “a hundred millions in value of goods made here and distributed to all parts t f the United States and almost of the world.” Death efßen. Cnunt, tbe Pugilist. [From tbe London Globe, Sept. 10.] Yesterday morning, at four o’clock, Mr. Benjamin Caunt, the proprietor of the Coach and Hones Tavern, St. Martin’* Lane, expired somewhat suddenly at his residence. The de ceased, familiarly known as Ben. Gaunt, had lorg been a leading member of the prize ring, aidhcTd for some years the championship, which he succeeded In gaining after many hard-fought battles. All day yesterday Caunt was in his business as usual, but showed some signs of indisposition. He retired to rest at his usual hour last night, and this morning was found dead in bed, without having, apparent ly, experienced very much suffering. Daring tbe last year or two Caunt has been very much Effected in his mind by the loss of his license, of which the magistrates deprived him on ac count of information laid against him by his neighbors of the nuisance occasioned about his house by large crowds of sporting men who lock an interest in the then pending prize fight, particularly in that between Kee nan and Sayers for the championship, which Caunt had just resigned. When his body was discovered, at four o’clock this morning, tbe lime at which he was usually called, med ial aid was immediately resorted to, but it was ascertained that death most have taken place some time previously, probably an hour or two. IBONCL*© Wiß tESUSU Ibelrlatroincdsn lat«SsrHavT-Bo scflpviow *f One Ballduc u Myrtle, Coantcilent; . [From the K. Y. ErenUg Fort» SsthJ Our government has accepted propositions for the construction of iron-cased ships of war from several firms in this city, in New Haven, slid in Philadelphia. Seine of those vessels are already began. As France, Eng .lsnd, Italy and Russia are forming national fleets constructed of or cased with iron, it is Important to adopt similar precautions for the protection of our wiaritimft interests and the support of onr naval supremacy. The experiments which have been mada in England and France seem to have proved that there are inconveniencesin the large size of the Warrior, the Gloire, the Solferino and the Black Prince j which are regarded asthe French and Ecglish models of iron cleft naval arch!-' tectum, and that the same number and weight of guns distributed in smaller ships would be more effective both tor offensive and defer: slve manoeuvres. Accordingly our government has wisely decided to construct at present on ly such smaller vessels as, in the existing state of onr knowledge, are most likely to be of me. They are to be of not leas than ten nor more than sixteen feet draught of water. Their armament will be eighty to one hund red aid twenty toss weight, with provisions and stsres for one hundred and sixty-five to three hundred persons, according, to arma ment, for sixty days, with coal for eight days. Each vessel will depend chiefly on steam tor the means of propulsion, the .hollers and mi ctintiy being, ot course, below she waterline. They will, however, cany two mists, and all the standing-rigging will be of wire reps, which is lees liable to damage in action. Although these ships will vary from each otter in certain particulars, some general idea of their character may be obtained by a de scription of <Sne of them, whichis now build ing by the contractors, Messrs. C. 8. Buahuell & Company, at Mystic, Connecticut. This gunboat, which, with the exception of two iron vessels ordered by the Italian govern ment, is, we believe, the first ever constructed inihis country, will be somewhat over one thousand tons register. Her length overall is two hundred feet, and her extreme breadth thirty-six feet six inches. She will draw about eleven feet of water, and her depth of hold is twelve feet eight inches. She - ' hag a wooden frame and beams, the frame of the vessel being solid throughout. In many vessels of thus build the frame Is hollow, large spaces being left between the ribs and .timbers. This plan has its advantages for but in smaller ones such a sacrifice of strength, lor a saving of weight Is unnecessary. Consequent ly, the side of our new gunboat will present one compact solid mass twenty inches thick before receiving its impenetrable cuirass of lion plates. The internal arrangements are of a very su ptricr character. The cabins, ■wardroom aud sUeioges will be fully equal to those of the new gnnbcata recently launched at this port. She has one flush deck of wood, which consti tutes the lighting deck, besides the usual clear half decks fore aud aft; the upper deck being the superior portion ot the bomb-proof which covers the guns and protects the crew from vertical lire. Unlike the Gloire and the new vessel build ing in England for the Emperor of Russia, she will have no beak projecting under water in front of her bow, and is, therefore, not in tended as a“ ram” to run down vessels at sea, for which service her size, and weight would not be suitable. But she will be armed with a small bowsprit made of iron, to project for ward about five feet, and her bow will be caged and made extremely strong. The bat teries are all worked under bomb-proof cas ings, and the guns are intended to be heavier and of larger calibre than any heretofore car ried on ship-board. One peculiarity in the construction of this vessel la that her model is so exquisitely per fect that whatever position you place her in, she presents nothing but curved lines. This is, of course, a great advantage, for it is familiarly known that if a target or shield ol any kina is struck at au angle or on a slant, the mis&le glances off and the force of the blow is weakened and almost de&Uoyed. On Oils principle the angulated targets are con structed, the experiment with which at Ports mouth attracted so much notice in connection with naval gunnery in England. The contri vance, however, in its principle, is no new one; for from the remotest antiquity the cuirasses and shields of warriors were made convex, to turn aside the blows of the enemy, and were either tapering to a point in the centre or rounded off at the sides in the form of‘semi* cylinders. As applied to ships of-war,however, the adaptation of this principle is claimed to he new. Indeed, the plan is stated to be en tirely different from anything hitherto realiz ed, and in some important respects so superi or as to combme with the shot proof qualities of unwieldy batteries with sloping sides, the Bghtnces, swiftness and mobility ol an ordi nary steam-gunboat. Though a terrible ma chine of destruction, and impregnable to all attacks as a submerged rock, a ship on the new model will, it is supposed, be as swift as she is strong, and as formidable in the attack as reliable in the defence. Another advantage our new gunboats will have is their being constructed of American iron. Up to this time the high qualities of our iron as adapted to such use have never been tested, hut since we know it to be for other purposes the best in the world, tbatof Sweden not excepted, there is every reason to anticipate for it equal superiority when prop erly manufactured into armor-plates for the piotection of vessels of war. It is, however, of great Importance that the plites should be what are technically known,as “rolled” plates, and not merely such asm their manu facture are only subjected to the action ol the hammer. For the experiments on the two kinds of iron leave no doubt as to the im mense superiority of the former. And if our iron manufacturers have not the expensive machinery which is necessary, It will be better for us to brook a few weeks* delay than to inn any risk or to mar our first experiment in iron clad vessels, by using ai-.inferior kind of ifiateriah With regard to the advantages of iron-cased ships the best authorities are divided, some regarding them as capable of being made in vulnerable, while the majority seem to think that they can never be so constructed as to form a formidable sea going fleet for offensive purposes. However future experience may decide this question as to large ships, there is no doubt abeut the efficient auT of small swift vessels, such as we are constructing, especial ly when used in conjunction -with aca-coast batteries for the defence of harbors, road steads and narrow channels. Accident to the Great Eastern* [From the N. Y. Express.j This monster ship, it will be seen by Captain Judkin’s (Persia) report, has met with some disaster of a much more serious Character than was at first supposed. When about halfway across the Atlantic she must have encountered a storm that made terrible work with her, or she would never have come out of it with the loss of both of her side wheels, bulwarks stove, damage to rudder, etc. The great merit hitherto claimed for the big ship, over vessels of lees magnitude, has been, ner ability to laugh the winds and waves to acorn, —but it looks now as if that claim would have to be given np to Neptune, It is regretted thit the Persia w as not near enough to apeak the Great Eastern, and as there were some four or five hundred passengers on board, many of them our own citizens understood to.be—there is naturally not a little anxiety to hear of her safe arrival back, at Liverpool. That anxiety will doubtless be relieved by the Fulton, now about due, off Cape Race. A letter from Liverpool, dated Tuesday, Sept. 10th, says of the departure of the Great Esstcia: To-day the Great Eastern left the Mersey for New York. The crowds that gathered to see her off were, if anything, far greater than those which first welcomed her to the port. The monster vessel left her moorings in the Sloyne at about half past one p. m. and pro ceeded rather fast for so large a vessel down the river. Several steam togs endeavored to accompany the vessel as far as the Bell Bnoy, but they turned back ere they reached the intended goal. Two first class beats, however, the Emperor and the the Rover, came up to the Great Eastern as she lay, steam down, beyond the bar. So great was the demand for passages on board the Great Eastern, that at the test moment several persona, who had just been lauded from a Belfast boat, made at once for the steam tenders, and succeeded in getting berth room on board the big ship, which carried out in all about 400 passengers. The vessel is commanded this voyage by Captain Walker lately of the Galway Company’s service. If rumor is correct, the present commander is a man who will make the Great Eastern, if pos sible, exceed the most sanguine expectations of those who first conceived the grand idea of constructing such a marine monster. Field Abtulkbt nr Preparation. —A large amount of ordnance is manufacturing for the State, under the supervision, of Com miesary General Welch, fotmerly of this city. Twenty-fiix Farrott rifled cannon, of which ten are twenty-pounder*, have recently been loaned to the General Government, and sixty additional guns of the same class have been ordered, with carriages, caissons, battery wagons and forges, lie contracts for all the fixtures necessary to fit these guns for field service, except harness, have been given oat, and the work is going on rapidly. A consul* erable number of the gun-carriages have al ready been received, and a few of tie gnus have been mounted. Accompanying each eua are one hnhdred rifled shells. It is thought that the whole number of guns will be ready for the Add within a month.

Herald's Dispatch.] WABEZBOiotr, Friday, September 26.—The steamer, Delaware arrived at the navy yard this noon with a body of marines from Philadelphia. The Captain reports that the battery at Free-Stone Point was when he passed it this morning, the woods having been all cleared away, and that it opened upon him, firing about seven shots, none of which took effect. They were all good line shots, hut fell short or went over. Two just grazed his deck. Capt, Carman says about 50 vessels passed up and down, bnt none were fired at except the Delaware. From the disclosures of a rebel officer, it Is ascertained that the.battery at Freestone Point is commanded by H. J. Hsrtsteia, for merly a commander in the U. 8. Navy, and that there are batteries on the Virginia side of the Potomac every two and a half miles from Occcquan to Mathias Point. The river is now considered by naval officers as effectually closed. Our-Potom&c flotilla is insufficient to dear it of the numerous batter ies upon Its banks. A laud force la indispen sably necessary, and it is believed that within a few days, perhaps a few hours, the rebels wOl attempt to cross the lower Potomac into Maryland. They will meet a warm reception, but it may be necessary to strengthen our forces in that direction.
