TIE The obvious attempt to evade the Constitution, by calling this the Union Bank of Illinois,” instead of the “ State Bank of Illinois.” The third section of the tenth article of the Constitution says “no State Bank shall hereafter he created.” In our last issue we urged the friends ot the law to give five minutes 1 consideration to tjie sc points, instead of pouring out pla titudes about the “want of currency.” AVe repeat that the pecuniary paradise, which may or not exist in Indiana and Ohio, has nothing to do with the discussion un til these serious and valid objections are explained or removed. ,V mtEEOOO EXPOSED. It is charged in some of the city papers, that Judge Higgins is in favor of con tinuing the Docket Fee System, for the pay of Judges, and for that reason is a candi date for delegate to the Constitutional Con vention. Both the charge and the inference is ut terly untrue. No man more desires the abolition of the Docket Fee System than Judge Higgins, and if elected to the Con vention, he pledges himself to use all his influence and power to have it done away with, and a fair and reasonable salary sub stituted. This is one of several important judicial reforms which he will advocate in the Convention, if made a delegate. The allegation made against him is as false as it is mean, and the paper making it knew that-it was false; hut it was done to preju dice the minds of voters and defeat his election. It is to the Interest of every voter in the 56ih District to have Judge Higgins elect ed to the Convention. He will he able to do more good than any other candidate running for delegate. His experience as a Judge qualifies him to understand the defects of the present Judicial system and to propose the corrections which experi ence shows that it requires. His urbane manners and superior abilities will make him an influential member in the organic body, and enable him to serve the people very usefully. The office is not a lucra tive one to an honest man. The pay of the members barely covers their hotel ex penses. It is a post of honor and respon sibility, and the best men willing to serve should he elected. When such a man as Judge Higgiks is willing to undergo the labor and loss of time, the people should not hesitate to secure his services. GAIIEI BRIDGE, The attack of Gen. Floyd upon the Fed eral troops at Gauley Bridge seems to have been an ill-advised attempt of a desperate man to got himself into trouble. Later and more circumstantial reports show that Floyd came up with about 7000 troops, and planting his guns on the opposite hank of Hew river began a sort of random fire up on Bosecrans’s camp, last Friday morning. ’ Little damage was done beyond sinking the|fcrry boat, and scaring the telegraph operator. Eosecraus rather enjoyed the fun than otherwise. It should he remem bered that New river is the south branch of the Gauley river, and that Eosecraus and Cox are at the junction of the two; I while Gen. Schenck’s brigade is some miles up the river, and Gen. Benliam’s about an equal distance down the Gauley liver. During Friday the rebels threw about forty shells, only a few of which, exploded, while our fire silenced at least two of their guns. On Saturday there was a temporary lull in the fight, and Rosecrans, having the rebel where he wanted Mm, was preparing to send Benham and Cox across the river, above and below, to get in the rear of the enemy and make the annihilation com- plete. This was the position of things on Saturday evening, and a private dispatch received at the office of the Cincinnati Tima, last evening, would indicate that Rosecrans had carried out the plan with brilliant success. By this authority Gen. Etnhamhad crossed with five regiments,' snd the enemy was routed with great loss. If Floyd has been captured, as it was ex pected he would he, some lucky Burnum can make a fortune hy exhibiting him here in the North. 4 Short CaUchiraii ones.—: What constitutes the Court House Clique ? -In*.—Office holders in the Court House.

[From the Cincinnati Commercial, yesterday.] We are informed thal Gen. O. M. Mitohel, commanding in this Department, has resigned. The cause of his resignation is understood to be his unsatisfactory relations with Gen. Sher man, commanding in Kentucky. It has been, for some time, evident that differences preju dicial to the public interest existed between Generals Sherman and MitcheL Hi what man ner, If at all, the situation will be improved, if Gen. Mitchel has resigned, we are not ad vised. Some thing evidently should be done, to facilitate the transmission of troops and munitions of war into Kentucky. Ko confu sion of jurisdiction, or differences in the pro fessional etiquette of military men, or clash ing of the views of ambitious commanders of Departments, should be suffered to impede the progress of the essential work of the cam paign.

INVESTIGATIONS OF THE CON GBBSSIonu COMMITTEE. Alleged. Abstract of theli Report. [From, the Cincinnati Enquirer.! In giving an abstract of the testimony, which is so voluminous, we propose only to give a part bearing on the different heads of fraud, as summed up in the committee’s re port. The entire testimony has been sent to Washington to be laid before Congress at its nest session. The synopsis publish is & faithful abstract of the evidence before the committee, although many of the minor de tails have been omitted. The first act of fraud was the presentation to Mrs. Brigadier General McKinstry, on the 80th of September, of a complete set of su rer service of the Jenny Lind pattern, which service cost $3,000 and upward, and being the finest ever made in the West,andtook the pre mium at the State Agricultural Fair held in St. Louis. This service was presented by parties exclusively interested in Government contracts among whom were Major Selover, Leonidas Haskell, John M. Crum, E. L. Beard, of Cali fornia, and others. Gen. McKinstry was Quar termaster General of the Western Department by appointment of Major General J. C. Fre mont, and as such Quartermaster General, controlled the horse and mule contracts,build ing of barracks, and all supplies and purchases appertaining to that Department. The com mit.ee in their report say, w the frauds iu con tracts in the Quartermaster's Department are numerous and have hsen clearly proven and extended through all branches of his control and supervision?* In relation to the purchases of horses—the second act of fraud—the testimony is exten sive as to the various species of imposition practised, the u old English jockey tricks, ** as they arc called, being in this case of the lesser magnitude. A party contracts to tarnish 1,000 head of horses, at sll9 50 per head, to the Government, through the Quartermaster. Tns contractor’s agent, who is approved by the Quartermaster, his charge of the field where the contractor's horses are to be passed upon. A countryman, having horses to sell to the i Government, pays $lO entrance tee to the field, where his horses are examined, and upon the ! payment of another fee of |lO, they are res- , ommended to the contractor, who purchases | the same at the very lowest figure, which, j tbrougboutthe entire evidence,never exceeded SSS and S9O per head. The contractor takes ; hie purchases to the Inspector, who is also re imbursed by a fee, which amount is computed I according to the Quality of the animal. The : contractor, on obtaining a certificate from the Inspector, demands the money of the Quarter master, who pays the same, when the bonus for said payment is guaranteed. The evidence discloses several such schemes and mauy other ways in which horses and mules are obtained. The testimony also shows that the homes, in a majority of instances, are of the most inferior kind, and have broken down or fell dead on the road. Around the depots where horses were kept thus purchased, numerous carcass es have been found. Omnibus and stage horses have been trotted out, “full of bran and pep pered,” by contractors, who received slls and $l3O for each horse they furnished. One of the recent xenons of Boards of Survey will suffice in giving*the character of horses Government funnelled to regiments upon the requisition of their commanding officer. Other similar reports the committee have on file: Caxp Sullivan, Warsaw, ) October SI, 1801. f TO Ccl. Wm, Bishop:—The undersigned having been summoned, as a Board of Survey, to examine and inspect the condition of the horses forwarded to this regiment from Salat Louis and report the result to your headquar ters, would respectfully report that we hive examined said horses and find seventy-six (7G) lit for service, five (5) dead, and three hundred and ibirtv (S3O) undersized, under and over aged, sthied, riccboned, blind, spavined, and incurably unfit for any public service, said horses being a part of the Missouri contract. Very respectfully, [Signed] David McKee, Major. George Rockwell, Captain. John Schee, Lieutenant. The Committee also have iu evidence that U. S. District Attorney Jones was associated with Messrs. Thompson and Bowen in the purchase of horses and mules, their contract being at $119.50 each horse. Bowen sold out to Thompson and Jones for $5,000, payable in bankable funds. Thompson went to McKin stry for payments on horses Messrs. Thomp son and Jones had tarnished, and was told that “another party was interested in this hoise business, and unless the $5,000 ia gold was deducted by Messrs. Thompson and Jones, none of the money could be paid.” The $5 000 was kept by McKinstry, and the remainder paid over to Thompson aud Jones. Under this head of fraud, the Committee have testimony of over half a million of dol lars sunk In hay contracts. The Quartermas ter paid $17.50 per ton for hay in bales, which on examination is found to be prairie gra?s, and hay of a very poor quality. The cost of transportation between St, Louis and Ssdalia, is about $8 per ton, or $35 per ton delivered at Scdalia. The Committee have accumula tive evidence that fresh hay from the stacks, aud ia abundance along the entire route to Warsaw, could be obtained at s6@B per ton. In Government wagons the evidence shows large numbers are here without any owners, until after they have been pressed into the service, and then the builders present their claims. A majority of these wagons are unfit for service. The axles, reach, bolsters, spokes, bubs, &c,, ate found to have been cracked, and the cracks filled with leather and putty, and painted over where the fraud was patent. Several of the wagon* are condemned. The Committee will report that a number of the wagons thus received by the Quarter master and his agent have broken down before the army had proceeded far, and that all the wagons will be useless after a few weeks* ser vice. The third act of fraud is in the building of fortifications at St. Louie. On the loth of August Colonel HassendeubeU by order of General Fremont, engineered andsarveyedthe points within the limits of St. Louis for the erection of eleven (11) forts. Under Major H.’ejsupei intendence five (5) were built direct ly fer th eGovernment, without any inter venirg contractor. Tae w ?gee of the laborers were 60 cents each per day, and the cost of each fortification not to exceed SIO,OOO. On the 25th of September, when General Fremont knew that the torts, completed, cost SIO,OOO each, Quartermaster General McKinstry, per order of General Fremont, made a contract with E. L. Beard of California to build six additional forts lorthe Government, similar in all respects to the five constructed by Colonel Uasrendenbel; agreeing to pay 45 cents per cubic yard lor all excavations; 55 cents per cubic yard for the same dirt excavated upon the bank of the fort and forming the embank ment ; for all puddled earth 90 cents psr cubic yard; paving walks with brick or stone, floors, or block house?, «fcc., $1 per square vard; for cisterns, 35 cents per cubic gal lon of 231 inches, arched with brick, crown and cement ; lumber for magazines, block houses, and quarters for officers and troops, sewers, &c., &C-, the lumber and timber to be measured in the building, SIOO per 1,000 feet; for facines and breastworks required on the work, $1 per cubic foot, and for roofing all the buildings with three-ply roofs, $4 50 per square of 100 superficial feet. The total cost of the six fortifications figures upward of $300,000, upon which Mr. Beard has received $170,0C0. An additional pay ment of an order for SOO,OOO from General Fremont was stopped by the Secretary of War when in St. Louis. The evidence sets forth, that notwithstanding Beard has re ceived already three times the original cost of the works, the laborers are clamorous at the Government offices lor their pay. The items of the cest of forts, as proven by other fort* built, and the evidence of master mechanics, put the figures, viz: 10c per cubic yard for excavations and embankments; pnddled earth 80c;- paving, &c, 40c; cistern, &c., Sc; lumber and timber $40@50.00 per 1,000 feet; facines and breastworks 30@40c; roofing s2@2 50, and a total cost of the six fortifications not over $60,000. The contaact for fortifications was drawn up per order of General Fremont. The contract is regarded by the committee as irregular and informal, except that It provides that 41 no member of Congress shall be Inter ested in the said contract.” The contract is in part irregnlar, for the reason that according to the regulations of the Department, the Quartermaster only can make contracts of this kind. The fourth act of fraud is the house rent, first in the palatial mansion of Mrs. Colonel Brant, cousin of Mrs. Jessie Fremont, rented to General Fremont for headquarters of Major General, his private Secretary, and Chief of Staff, at the rate of $6,C00 per aunnm. Other palatial mansions in the neighborhood are rented at similar rates, and occupied for offices of members of the stall . Large and expensive barracks have been'bnut in the immediate vicinity, as quarters for the accommodation of the Fremont Body Guard, numbering 600 men. The barracks will ac commodate 2,500 men. The cost of these bar racks and Benton Barracks, capacious enough to accommodate 40,000 men, will be about $150,000, double the amount nwessary to erect precisely similar buildings. In the root ing of these buildings, which is upward of 5.000 squares of 100 superficial feet, tne Com mittee nave discovered much fraud. The con tract provides that the roof shall be three-ply, and put on with felt and nocked in hot tar, and in a substantial and durable manner. Tne Committee have evidence that the Buperln tendentand Architect, A.B. Ogden, received a draft of S7OO on Gen. McKinstry from Clapp & Co , provided he (Ogden) would obtain the confect for them atthrtr Wd.wWch was $3.50 per square of 100 superficial feet. A Mr. King, imderoatb, testifiesthat h® gave Ogden a draft on McKinstry fox-s*£s few Ms services in getting him the contract for $3.35 per square. To each of these Ogdew promised the contract The work was awarded to Al rocn Thompson at $3-50, but whether any bonne was given does not appear.The Com mlttee find that Thompson sold the contract for an advance of $3,000, and that the party doingthe work only pnt.on one-ply roof, and that with felt dipped in cold tar. It a few places then wen only twoplys. The facta wen obtained by cutting into the roof at vari ous points. It u also in testimony that then wen responsible bids at $2 for this same work. Another fraud area in the contracting with CHICA E. “?V. Fes for the manufacture of picket pins at 45 cents each, when Thomas Hood, a black smith with good security, bid for the same at 35 cent “'Per pin—the number to be mads, 50,- 000 pins. Also to Fox and others, camp ket tles st 35 cents, when there were bids st 30 cents; nab I *, axes, spikes, &c., at similar rates. Saddles that were rejected by the Quartermas ter, were pn. rehaecd by Fox st low dguresand sold to McKinstry at increased rates. The of sundry tug-boats and char ts ring of sever.al steamers at double theircost and value, particularly the chartering ot sun dry boat belonging to the Keokuk Packet Company, have bt'en gone into at length, and much imposition found to exist. Tae tug boats are being built at a cost of $8,500 eacb, when they ought to be built at $i 500 each. Other frauds in the purchase of oats, cloth ing, blankets, tents, etc.; the issuing of trans portation tickets and paying of employees in nncnrrent funds—such as the Union Bank and Back of St Louis, 55 cents discount—instead of Government lands, etc., etc., are fully in evidence before the Committee, but all are on a par with those given above. No frauds were found in the Commissary Department, but the report of the Committee will exhibit the transactions of the other v departsents in an exceedingly unfavorable light. As the Cali fornia contractors are alleged by the Commit tee with being largely interested in many of these contracts, we give their names: Joseph Palmer, of the firm of Palmer, Cook &Go ; Leonidas Haskell; E. L. Beard; Major Selover, of the firm of Selover & Slotem, Beal Estate Auctioneers, and I. C. Woods, manager of Adame’ Express Company. Three of these gentlemen are living In St. Louis in fine style, and two arc on General Fremont’s staff. The Committee could have continued their investigations further, but they believe they have sufficient evidence, and have gone to Cairo to examine a few witnesses there. They will then visit Louisville, and Cincinnati, and take evidence of any frauds existing in the departments of those cities FE6M FKSWOXT’S 06MMi!VD. KcKinstry and Hunter Httnyieg Up. THE CANNONADE AT SARCOXIE. tFrom the St. Louis Democrat, yesterday.]} From Mr. Elliott, a resident of Cincinnati, who arrived here lost night on the Pacific Railroad train, we gather some important and interesting news. Mr. Elliott left Warsaw on Saturday evening at two o’clock. His fellow passenger in the stage from Warsaw to Tipton came through from Springfield, having left there on Friday morning, the Ist, at which time all of the divisions of Gen. Fremont’s army were in Springfield, except General Mc- Kinstry’sand Gen. Hunter’s, and both of these had received orders to proceed with haste. Gen. McKinetry, on Friday last, made a march of thirty-three miles, and expected to be in Springfield on Saturday evening. General Hunter broke up his camp at Warsaw on Sit' urday morning, and was met about twelve miles on his road to the south. It was thought at Warsaw that the rapidity of the movements of these divisions, indicated busi ness at or near Springgeld. Col. Mulligan got in the ears yesterday morning at SedaUa, and came down as far as Jefl'erson City. * His wife and child, for whom it is supposed he went to Lexington, were with him. The gallant Colonel was most cordially received with cheers and handshak ings at the capital. At Franklin, Mr. Elliot on Saturday learned from an army officer that word had reached Rolls cn Friday, that Jeff. Thompson with a straggling force of about fifteen hundred men across the southern part of the Slate to make a junction with Price and Me* Cullocb. On Friday evening CoL Gershon, of the Thirty-sixth Illinois, started to intercept the aforesaid Jeff., taking with him nine hun dred picked men of the Kolia Brigade, land a ! battsiy of six mountain howitzare, and fifteen j days’ rations. The expedition premises well. Mr. Elliot, met at Warsaw, on Saturday at coon, the 25th Indians, which had been sta tioned at Georgetown. Ir was moving onto join its division at Sprnuricb 1 . Colonel Matthews’? ngiiuent of Home Guards was at Chamois oration ou the Pacific Railroad, where the men were awaitiog their equipments. ' The sick soldiers at Warsaw, numbering sev eral hundred, were removed from Warsaw to Tipton on Wedeeday last, in rough wagons, hnt they get through very well. Large num bers of them have since reached this city, Sir. Elliott passed on his way to Warsaw last Wednesday, and met on his way to Tipton ou Saturday, heavy provision trains. He also saw along the route a number of camps, com posed of Union refugees who had been driven out of the Southwest by the rebels, and were returning with their families to their old homes. At Tiptoe, on Saturday, all wa? quiet, tlie place and the Government stores being f carded by the Kansas First They were to e reinforced yesterday, by a regiment from th«s city, which Mr. Elliott met on the cars yesterday near Jefferson city. SrnusGFELD, Oct 30,12 m.—A scout, arriv ing last evening, confirms In a measure the report of Lane’s attack. Ha says that at a point in the road leading from Mount Yemen to Sarcoxie, and sis miles from the latter’place, he heard the firing of aitlUcry from three o’clock p. m., until dusk Mon day evening. The firing;was rapid- There were also a few discharges Tuesday morning. The firing was from a southwesterly direction. The same scout fell in with a rebel just from Price’s army, who left it on Sunday morning. The rebei, in conversation, represented their army in a condition that would compel it to move soon lor the want of clothing and provisions; also, that a great many were sick. Price and McCulloch were at Neosho and Rains at Jolli fication. The rebel pickets at Sarcoxie, oa Monday evening, had orders not to leave there until driven in by the Federal troops. Jackson has ordered the foraging party at Bcner’s Mills to bum the mills when they leave the place. Foraging parties are roaming over the country taking horses, mules, wagons and bed clothes. Arrest of StTfral Perwmn with Hand reds of Letters fertile Soatb in tboftr Keeping* IFrom the Cincinnati Commercial, yesterday.] Last night two men, named respectively A Love and M. Finn, were placed under arrest in this city, by the United States Marshal. These parties arrived here on Wednesday last, and stepped at the Spencer House, registering as rollout; “Mr. and Mis. Lowe, England. “M*. F;rr, Belfast, Ireland.” They cameto ec-iter. Tee nest day Finn left for Cleveland, and returned on Saturday night. He went to Cleveland to seek the baggage of the party, wlich bsdbeendetained. 15 was opsnedthere and between 700 and 800 letters, directed to parties in the South, chiefly New Orleans, were iVuL'd- Among them were letters for all the heavy bankers in that city. Upon being ar retted here, the men claimed to be British subjects, doing business in the South, equivo cating a good deal, however, as to the length of lime they had spent iu the South. We are informed the parties will be token to Fort Warren this morning. The Strength of Kbnuiu. [From the LouiSTille Journal, ad.] To attack the Confederate forces at Manas sas with a vast army of even the best troops In the world, would dea mighty undertaking. The Richmond papers boast, that, in that stronghold, a hundred men can successfully resist and repel a thousand. Perhaps they could if the attack were as rash and precipitate as some of onr Eastern civilians evidently think that It ought to be. The greatest Southern Genntals and civil engineers selected Manassas as the strongest position by nature in Virginia, and such it undoubtedly was. For six months they have, with all. possible resources at their command, been adding to its natural stiength by all the modes of forti fication known to miUtaiy science. From the two thousand heavy cannon, many of them of monstrous size, seized by the Confederates in tie Gosport Navy Yard, and from the many hundreds of colnmbiads and gnus of all call bres manufactured at the Tredegar Works in Richmond, they have received just as many and just such pieces of artillery as they could plant to advantage. If they wanted fifteen hundred pieces of heavy artillery to be placed in a hundred batteries, they have have had them, and placed them according to their pleasure. At several points of necessary ap proach to their main positions, they have placed mines of gunpowder to be sprung at any moment, and cany horrible slaughter among their assailants. These are facts, and, although thoughtless editors, writing to cre ate a sensation, may Ignore them, the com mander* of onr armies will scarcely do so. We have confidence, strong confidence that, in spite of all obstacles, however tremendous they may be, Gen.

The Army Retiring Board, with tie excep tion of a few cases of officers la California or on their way from that State, has nearly fin ished its business, baying only Capt. Llewel lyn Jones of the 3d cavalry, Ist Lieut. Mills of the 3d artillery, Capt. Gardner of the Ist cavalry, and Lieut. CoL Sylvaaus Thayer of ihe engineers, to examine. Capt. Ratcliff Brinkerhoff is appointed to Col. Jno. Sherman’s Brigade. It is desertion to leave one regiment for an other, or to persuade a man to do so without a discharge, and the 'offence is punishable with death. A regular officer has preferred charges against a volunteer captain in a 'Wis consin regiment for the latter offence. The flood has rendered the Long Bridge im passable to day, and there is danger that part of the causeway may be washed away. The Washington Infirmary was burned down last night. Over one hundred sick and wounded soldiers were safely removed, but on aged woman, sent thither by the Commis sioner of Public Buildings, cannot be found, and she was probably burned.

A fight Is reported io have occurred on Sat urday near Weston, ISXo-, not far from Leav enworth city, between two companies of Home Guards under Capts. Drumhill and Josephs, and a rebel 'goerilH band. The Union troops succeeded in ambushing the rebels, whereupon the latter tools to a log house. The Union men thereupon brought a emallhowitzer to bear upon the house, which riddled it and dispersed the rebels, besides hilling about a dozen of them. None of the Union men were hilled, and but few wounded. Four hundred of the regulars who surren dered seme lime since in Texas, came east from St. Joseph to-day, and took the North Missouri road for St. Louis. Some nine or ten secesli prisoners were also brought down and sent to St. Louis. WhM is Threatened if Fremont shall be Removed* St. Louis, Nov. 4.—The Republican has the lowing significant information in its corres pondence from Fremont's headquarters: A good deal of excitement has prevailed in Comp for some days past, respecting the re port of Fremont’s supercession; but Wash ington advices at Headquarters mention noth- ing cf the kind. Fremont’s removal would cause intense excitement, and I suspect, no little trouble in Camp. A number of officers declare they would resign in that event, or in sist upon creating him (Fremont) Dictator *of the Southwest, independent of the Administration, which is bitter ly denounced in Camp for its vascillating end injudicious policy respecting this Depart ment.

No federals had been Silled when the gentle man left. __ „ ~, Cincinnati, Not. 4.— The Commercial has advices from Gen. Bosccrans’s Ltalquarters up to Saturday evening. On Friday morning at S o'clock The enemy opened lire with two guns from points opposite the Gauley ferry and Camp Tompk-ns, and kept up a noisy firing of musketry. The object was evidently to cut off the supply trains. They succeeded in sinking the terry boat on the Gauley, and threw abont forty shells into the camp of the 11th Ohio. Not one of onr men were killed, and only about half a dozen wounded. The majority of shells thrown by the enemy did not explode, and their mnsket iywaa wild and irregular. The ler.v boat which had been sunk by the enemy’s shot, on Friday, was raised that night, and commnm cation restored. There was no firing on Saturday on either side. The position of the forces on Saturday evening was as follows: The rebels were to possession of the left or west bank of New Btver. Gen. Schenck’s brigade was a few nulea above the junction of Gauley and New Rivers, on the esit side of New Elver. Geo. Cox’s brig ade and Gen. Eosecrana’a headquarters were near the junction of the rivers, and, between them. Gen. Benhwa was below the junction, on the right bank of the Gauley Biver. Floyd 9 force is believed to be about i,OOO men. It was believed to camp that Schenck s and Ben ham’s brigades would be thrown across the river above and below Floyd, and catch Mm. The lees of telegraphic communication was occasioned by the alarm ol the operator, who, when the firing opened, sent a hasty dispatch to Clarksburg, announcing a battle, and then commenced to move MB Office up the Gauley. He wastwo or three miles up the river when he was overtaken by orders from Gen. Eoeecrans to return, and while returning his wagon was dnvenover a precipice and the apparatus destroyed.

She brings one day’s later news. CapL Semin es, of the pirate Sumter, has reached Liverpool in the steamer Edinburg. A competitive trial had taken place of rifled 82-pcunoexe, service guns, of different inven tors. The trial was brought to a close with out asy very satisfactory results. The Whit worth and Armstrong guns alone appear cal culated to meet the requirements of the navy. It was expected the Bank of Francs would immediately adopt some new measures to pal line the existing crisis. Tbeaccouchment of the Empress of Austria was expected to take place at the commence ment of February. A Paris telegraph, dated Oct. 25th, says the JUouiieur of that date contains the following: “A judicial investigation has established the fact that the Congregation of the ladles of Saint Union, at Docri, have voluntarily abet ted the abduction of Jewish girls. These facts would have justified the Govemmeut in revoking the authorization of the Society of Saint Union,but it has confined itself to with holding tte acknowledgment of its legal ex istence. This measure will remind religious corgregatioas that neither their character, ob jects, nor rulers, excuse them from obeying the laws of the country. From WtiUngtott. Washington Nov. 4.—The steamer Reso lute came up from the Navy Yard last night. One of our batteries on the Maryland shore has been completed, and the range of some of cur 32-pouuder Parrott guns was tried on the rebel steamer Geo. Page, yesterday afternoon. Three shots struck her, but with what effect is not known, as, the water being very high, she was enabled to run up Qoantico Creek, out of range.

Washington, Not. 4 —At one o’clock this morning a fire broke out in the lower story of the General Hospital on Judiciary Square, originating from a furnace. The combustible parts of the main building, together with the roof, were destroyed. When the flames were firfct discovered, hurried preparations were made tor the removal of the sick and wound ed soldiers, fifty in number. This was effected in good order and with safety to the patients, wloarenow comfortably cared for. Fortu nately thirty cf the patients were on Thursday removed to Annapolis. The President has recognized Camilio Mar tin as Vice Consul of Spain at San Francisco, nud Godfrey Suyadocker as Consul of the Principalities of Schaumberg Lippe for the U. S., to reside at Chicago. The Common Council of Philadelphia pre sented Gen. McClellan with a magnificent eword cn Friday. Gen. Stone sent a flag of trace to Gen. Ev ans, at Leesburgh, to enquire os to the dispo riticn made oi the prisoners taken at Ball’s Bluffs. Evans replied that they were con- I fined at Richmond, and he would communi cate with the rebel Government relative to an exchange of prisoners. The news Ircm Euiope, per the last steam it, iLowb that the rebel emissaries ia London and Paris were very confident and noisy ia the belief that the necessities of the manufactur ing Interests will lead to an interference in the American contest for the purples of breaking the blockade to eccare a supply cf cotton. It is, nevertheless, evident that their cause is losing ground both with the people aud the press. The London iW, Palmerston’s organ, has a strong article against auy interference, and ex posing the fallacy of the notion that a recogni tion of the rebel States would re-opm the cot ton trade, but that, on the contrary the recog nition would only increase the rigor of the blockade, and any interierence would be an r act of war. The Shipping Gazette continues to denounce the conduct of the blockade and the wrongs done to British ships, and tays that some ac tion on the part of the British Government is icdiepensible. The Times thinks it is not unlikely that the moment the drain commences, the financial community of America will have its Midi Run. Ccnnt De Sayre, the lineal descendant of Connt Rochambeau, of American Revolution tame, has tendered his services to the Presi dent, and has been assured that they will be accepted.

While the Assistant District Attorney was uiging the trial, Judge Grier said he could not consent to have the regular business of the court interrupted. It seemed like a farce to try them at this time,wheu the country played civil war. The dictates of humanity would counsel the Government to treat cap tives on the sea the same as those taken on land; and he could not understand the policy ot hanging the first and holding the latter as prisoners and releasing them.

Editors Chicago Tribune; The first requisite in a financial community ia a sound currency, redeemable in oofcf, at home. This fiurcly will not be denied. Nor .can it be denied by any reasonable man that the currency of Indiana, Ohio and’ lowa are sound—Bound because redeemable in gold iu those several States. Do we have any trouble in our State—nay, have we ever had any here— with Indiana currency ? None. Why should the money of that State be as good as the gold here, while our own suffers as it has done the last season. The history of bankinz in In diana tells the story. The old State Bank of It diana was in existence for twenty years, and always redeemed in gold and silver. The new Bsnk of the State has been in operation since 1855, and has passed through the financial elites of 1857 and 1861, which have shaken to their foundations almost aU banks, and the entire commercial community. Tnis Bank has always redeemed in gold, and is now one of the soundest Banks in America. We cer tainly have jost as much wealth in Illinois as in Indiana, and onr people can lay claim to bi ing jnat as honest. If the given facts pro duced the results named in that State, they will in tftis. Believe these facts, and try these results, rather than believe the reckless asser tions of men who base their opposition not upon figures, but upon prejudice. Again. To the laboring man, the manufac turer, the fanner, the produce dealer, and all other* who have to borrow money to carry on business, the new Banking Law offers this inducement: it will reduce the rate of interest to seven jper cent,, and secure to them a currency always redeemable in gold —saving the tax payer from exorbitant charges in the way of 1 premium on gold—an incubus, one of the very worst, as all men know, that our State has la bored under for several years. Just so sure as you do not adopt the Union Bank Law, you will be flooded with such cur rency as the Bank of Montreal, which is loca ted over one thousand miles distant, and is payable in currency. It is true, the Bank of Montreal now has an agent here, but iu cose they get a large circulation, wnat security have the people of Illinois that the Bank of Montreal will not be in the same situation of the Back of Upper Canada, and the Bank of Western Canada at Clifton, and other Canada haute, which are quoted as “ worthless” by Bank Note Reporters of this date. This is not aIL Let any Intelligent, reading t mi reflecting person peruse the correspond ence which has lately transplredbctween Lord Lyots and Secretary Seward, and the conclu sion is inevitable that we are liable, to say the least, to have trouble with England before spring, and in case we do, Canada currency will be as worthless to the people of Illinois as is now* that of South Carolina, Georgia or Louisiana.

Arrival or me Fort fcafhyette Prison* en at Boston—tli« oncers Over* | whelmed with the fflnltilnde, i [From the Boston Journal, Ist.] The orders from the War Department to Assistant Quartermaster Ktnzie, at this port, instructed that officer to provide quarters and rations for one hundred political prisoners and a guard of four hundred men, which he accordingly did. His own, and the surprise cf CoL Dimick and the other officers of the iort may be imagined when, at 4 o’clock yes terday afternoon, the steamer State of Maine, of the Pali River line, hove in sight, her decks swarming with piisoners and soldiers nam btiing at least eight times the original num ber advised. The steamer arrived at the fort at half-past five o’clock, having on board 109 political prisoners from Fort Lafayette, (533 of the prisoners ta: en at Hatteras Inlet, and S3 men, invalids and others, from Badloe’s Inland, the whole under a guard of 120 men prd eight officers.

Martin, and forty-two t dicers from Hatteras; Col. Tyler of the rebel r-i my, and a host of equally notorious individu als. The North Carolina prisoners taken at Haiteras were divided into tan companies, s'vled the Washington Greys, Senior Guards, 'far River Bovs, North Carolina Defenders, Roanoke Guards, Jonesboro Guards, Hertford Light Infantry, Independent Grays, Hamilton Guards, ■ Guards. The steamer left New York at half-past four o’clock Wednesday . afternoon, and a most vigilant guard was maintained on the trip. The late officers of the United States army and navy, numbering about twenty, and the State prisoners, occupied the cabin and after sainnn. -while the rams and file of the chivalry were quartered between docks. CoL Dimick and the other officers went on beard and were introducedto the most proml utuv ef their guests, with several of whom the loyal officers were previously acquainted. : The steamer was very much crowded, and the pity rather than the hatred of the visitors was excited by the sad spectacle. The recogni lion in eome instances was cordial, but au air cl reserve marked the conversation between the rebels and the loyal officers. The State prisoners were dressed like gentlemen, while' the rank and file of the prisoners of war dis played a variety of uniforms, In which grey was the prevailing color, and felt hats pre dominated. Their condition and appearance wag materially improved before leavinzNew York, by tne distribution of new clnttteg, supplied them by their Mends through the Secretary of War; still, their general taidean liuees was the subject of complaint. Four companies ofthe North Carolina priso ners, numbering about three hundred men, were ail that were landed last night. These disembarked, carrying their personM effects strapped upon their backs, in sacks, valises, bundles, and in every possible shape. Most of the men had blankets, and some wore over coats. They were drawn up in line outside the fort, and the roll called, during which the men kept up a constant coughing, indicative of a general pulmonary affection, consequent upon a change of climate. The prisoners were quiet, and obeyed all orders promptly. They marched into the fort and were assigned quarters—three companies in the southern Iront and one in a casemate on the northern tide of the fort. The majority of the men were young—mere boys—who, in spite of their misfortune maintained a defiant and indifferent demeanor. The most conspicuous among the State prisonerr accompanied CoL Dimick on ghore and were shown their quartets. It being late and no provision having been madeior lodging them, they re lumed to and remained on board the steam«r, which had been rendered comfortable by the landing of a portion of the prisoners. Ex- Minister Faulkner wore a straw hat, and ap peared decidedly seedy, while Marshal Kane, vho wore a Kossuth hat, turned np on one side, strode about with a jaunty, careless Mr, as if he was selecting rooms atahofceL | The majority of the officers seemed to view the whole affair as a business-like proceeding, in which their only stake was the loss or gain of a comfortable habitation during the war. Some of them regard their stay at Fort War ms as only temporary, and expect to go still further North, the rumor having reached them that the Government intend to send •hem to a fort on Lake Erie. Orders for the re lease of ten sailors and Messrs. Shields, Gil christ and Schaffer, were received by Marshal Murray iff New York on Wednesday. They will probably be releesed from Fort Warren upon receipt of the proper documents by CoL Dimick. The officers and political prisoners are pro vided with a great amount of baggage, equal, in fact, to the baggage of three regiments of volunteers. This was all landed last night. The remainder of the prisoners will be landed early this morning. _ ILateat from .BprtpyllcM; Price Stul BtliMiln. [Special to the St. Louia Democrat.] Spbesgfeld.
