WBAT OUGHT TO HAPPEN.
The rebel invasion of Maryland and
Pennsylvania is so unaccountably hazar
dous, so in defiance of all military rules
Bud reckoning, that, with the smallest
grain of generalship on our side, every one
of Gen. Lee’s scarecrow infantry ought to
leave his bones north of the Potomac River,
or go back as a prisoner of Tear. Not one
Oi them should be allowed to escape.
The whole force ought to be de
stroyed or captured. They have de
liberately cut themselves off from
Reinforcements, by placing a deep
nver and a supeiior enemy in their rear.
J3ow far soever they travel, however
rapidly they move, whatever the mischief
Hay do, they must be brought to bay at
lu<i. They must be “ driven to the walT
it.is time by the sheer force of geography.
It is not impossible that they may swoop
down upon Harper s Ferry, and after gob-
V.inn up the commands of Col. Miles and
Gen. Whit c return into the ShenaudoahTal
h y laden with the spoils of Maryland, but
Btieli a movement can only be successful
through the most sluggish inactivity on
the part of the pursuing forces, for our
fourteen thousand troops on the south side
Of the river, aided by the natural defenses
of the position, can make a stout resist
ance, and render the business of crossing
at least a question of time.
If, on the other hand, Gen. Lee enters
Pennsylvania and marches up the Cumber
land Valley, h“ marches by all rules of
Strategy and by all the teachings of
common sense, upon sure destruction.
Southern Pennsylvania is as good a place
to end the war as Southern Virginia, and
we have apparently ten times as many
chances of giving it the fiuisldng stroke
there as wc have had any where else. The
result is so certain, if the northward move
ment of the rebels be persisted in, that we
can hardly believe it possible they will
press the soil of a free State. If they were
in the habit of making war accordiog to
book strategy the plan would be too crazy
for a m.-mem's thought. It is altogether
liUe'y that they will make their circuit
hack into Virginia by Harper s Ferry, but
llkv ought not to do even that without the
Severest punishment. The “rising in
has- not come olb but a terrible
fidlirg ought t«> be witnessed in that quar
ter before the invaders again touch the
Virginia shorn.
IRE RMX OF THIS (OINTRV.
“ The country has been ruined by’ fault
fading sir: ulictly ruined, by lack of con
fidence of the people in their rulers/’ —was
the emphatic remark of an elderly gentle
man of pursy structure, and plethoric in
jnusc. He gave accent to his uttcranceby
the swing of a stout gold headed cane,
it lh*wirg up his sweeping charge with a
sweep of the staff, as if he longed to use it
over the shoulders of parlies guilty in form
and manner as set down.
The elderly man walked testily away as
if the terminus of argument had been
reached and there was nothing more to say

Trill aver it ? The people have heard with
tad hearts of Uie reverses that have settled
in a gloomy pall over the campaign in Vir
ginia. The land is in mourning for the no
ble dead in the Peninsula and on the fatal
Huh Pun fields. They are filled with fore
booing just now fresldy awakened, where
incompctency, hand in hand with secret
treason, has scored failure across the bright
promise to our armies enrolled along the
I'oiomac. But has this cashed patriotic
sentiment, cooled loyalty, chilled enthusi
asm V Old gentleman, and yours in sympa
thy, a thousand limes no. Look at the list
of volunteers and see ho w enlistments have
‘•fallen off.”’ The spectacle is sublime. Tec
rally is glorious, and belter men never came
lerward than those now swif.ly forming to
repel impending danger to all that loyal
men held dear.
Isow for the third point of our ancient j
I: lend. Is m:rarmy demoralized and mu
tinous: "Who shall dure to hold for
an instant this third and last paral
lel of the conservatives, so noisily clam ar
cus to keep everybody 'pilot, so vociferous
in their demand for utter silence. Is it not
rather the fact, that the prominent bar to
what were confessedly a better and safer
accompaniment to the prerogatives of the
President, as commander-in-chief—utter
freedom in the selection of his generals, is
the alleged intense devotion of the army to !
the very general upon whom this fault-find- ■
ing has centred. The very men who arc on
the one hand liberally visiting denuncia
tions upon all who find fault with a com
mander in the field, for the reason that it
will weaken his control of his army—these
very men are the loudest in averring the
unflagging zeal and noisiest demonstrations
cf devotion among nis soldiers, to the very
one whose prominent position and relation
to disastrous campaign events, has placed
him exposed to these very complaints and
strictures.
So tlic old conservative declares iliallhe
country is ruined, yet confesses, as lie can
Imt do, that tlic ruin does not lie in the de
cay of popular enthusiasm, the decadence
eff volunteeiing, nor the disaffection of our
soldiery. It is in points never affected by
the censure of press or people. It has to
do with the policy of the vrar, the capac
ity of those "who are managing the interests
upon ■which hang the hopes and fears of
millions. The fact is that the sub
limcst and saddest spectacle of the
war is the noble confidence and patient
courage with which the people have been
content to wait and watch the long de
laj cd coming of the coveted results of this
crisis. The share of the press was small
who early foresaw the results to which we
have come, or seeing deemed it beat to cry
aloud in tones of warning. The people
and public journalists were content geu
crally to “ leave the war to military men,”
and the present “great awakening” is the
dawning ot a fact that millions of men. and
money are not all that is wanted.
The country is not ruined. It is strong
in the elements that make nations great.
The crisis is unon us that calls for great
sacrifices, great armies, great heroism, and
great leaders. The hssons of the war thus
fsr arc not lost, though dearly paid

generations of men. We are learning
what the influences of prosperity never
taught us; 'what we did not even read in
the first red pages of this war, that ot all
we have as a people, of life as well as li
berty, “eternal vigilance” is the price.
A blind devotion, a zeal without knowl
edge is not to be coveted. The people are
not, and can hardly be, educated at West
Point; but even military minds con com
pass and comprehend attained results, as
well as compare them with results coveted.
The people cannot be too watchful, public
journals cannot be too jealous for the pub
lic right and safety. The error on the <
other side is the easiest. We firmly be
lieve all our present evils are transient.
Bad leadership may delay, but can
not utterly ruin Treason covert and
near the heart of the government
cannot long imperil. Ail will come out
well, but it will be be by exposing evils,
attacking wrongs, dragging incompetency
and stupidity to the light. The time will
come when the most ancient and best pre
served conservative will see this. The
earlier this light dawns, the earlier the
better day it ushers in will visit us.
The Fruit Season.
The present is a bountiful year in the or
chards. Pomona has poured her gifts from a
full horn, and the only disaster orchardists
fear is the breaking of boughs bending under
lull fruitage. In no season for many years has
this been so generally true. The older States
of the middle and seaboard sections of the
country are, by virtue of long years of culture
and careful training, the recipients of such
stores of fruit that where the boughs have not
gfven away, prices have done so, and there Is
literally no market for the luscious apples and
plump pears, which are the staples of the
summer fruit crop. The writer has recently
passed a brief period in Kew England, and
finds this the everywhere noticeable feature.
In central and eastern Massachusetts, the
finest of summer apples are rotting upon the
ground for the utter lack of inducement to
send them to market. The crop of pears is
marvelous in amount, as all the fruit of the
present year is excellent in quality, for per
fection and soundness.
This full year follows one as strongly marked
for tbe dearth of fruit. There are orchards
that will this year give as many barrels of no
ble fruit as they yielded in scarcely pecks last
year. The same facts arc nearly true of the
entire country. Everybody but consumers
are aghast at prices, and everybody may enjoy
fruit llfis.year.
The rebel emisariesiln ‘France have lately
obtained what maybe regarded as a small
grain of hope of recognition, from the fact
Miss Pltie, a wealthy crcolelof Xew Orleans,
bo? just been united in marriage to M. Laubat
the secretary of the French navy. The allia
nce, though it may be held as positive proof
that the secretary has fallen in love with the
wealthy creole, is by no means an indication
that he bestowed his aUections at the same
lime on the southern confederacy, inasmuch
as it was one of the stipulations of the high
contracting parties that no secession badge
should be worn at the nuptial ceremonies,
lest the event should seem to have political
complexion. In accordance with this agree
ment, some of the Indies who had adorned
tbeiuselves with the red, white and red of re
bellion were obliged to abandon these cher
ished colors before admission could be gained
to the scene of festivities.
Several journals speculating upon the prob
ab’e capture of Washington have fallen into an
ciror as to tbe position of foreign ministers
Tinder such a state of affairs. Foreign minis
ters are accredited by their governments to
the person of Abraham Lincoln, President of
tbe United Stales, and must follow his person.
They cacuot recognize, as these journals seem
to think, as a dr facto government, rebels who
muy seize Washington, since it is not the city
of Washington, but the president to whom
they are accredited. It is not likely tint any
representative of a foreign power here would
take upon himself the responsibility of recog
nizing a confederacy as a de facto government,
which his own government has thus far re
fused to recognize.
How far can the
We gave an account, a day or two since, of
the outragr-.ouß assault by Col. Lehman, and a
battalion of the Wisconsin COih regiment, on
Mr. Wheeler, of the Milwaukee S'-utind. Gov.
Salomon has promply ordered the arrest of
Lehman, and suspension from his command
until further orders, and also all the commis
sioned officers in his command engaged in the
brutal transaction. If the facts be as stated,
Lehman should be at once dismissed from the
service.
The Minnesota Legislature met in special
session on Tuesday morning. There was but
a little more than a quorum in either branch.
So many of the members have recently gone
into the militaty service, that a full attend
ance of the members at this session is not ex
pected. Beyond the new organization and the
hearing of a special message of the governor,
there was no business done in cither branch.];
Gallantry of a Chicago Officer,
The Tennessee correspondent of tlie Detroit
Free Press recites the gallant action of a young
Chicago ofllccr, ■which, in the midst of inci
dents occuring in the same quarter, involving
dastardly conduct, deserves especial notice.
This letter says:
Lieut. 8011, of the 10-h Illinois, (with forty
men) while in command of a stockade near
Pulaski, was surrounded by 400 guerillas (in
the woods) and in reply to a demand for sur
render, said, “I have with me forty fighting
men, who have 4,000 rounds of ammunition
tion and forty trusty guns. I have an
dance of rations, and when these and the cou
rage of my men fails them, I will think of your
proposition.” lie replied to their offer to pa
role all officers and men that “paroling was
pHiyed out,” and invited them to the attack.
They retired, however, and after firing one
bridge, fell back six miles to another, and ly
ing m wait for a small train with eighty sol
ders aboard ; after firing into it and killing
lour and wounding seven, they cut down the
bridge behind it, and following it to the
smouldering remains of the burnt bridge, at
tacked it, and after a severe fight were com
pelled to skedaddle, with a 17ss of twenty,,
M.d on our part a loss of nine killed and'
wounded.
The officer here mentioned is Lieut. VinceuU
V. Bell, of company K., of the invincible 10tn
111., a son of our fellow-citizen, Judge D. V.
Bell, w ho, it will be remembered, has four
• more sons “of the same sort” in the army of
j freedom. This is l>cH metal of the right ring,
! and as Chicago boys, we have a special right
1 to fed proud of them.
ITlas«<acliUsettfl Republican State Con-
The Massachusetts Republican Convention,
which met at Worcester on the 10ih Inst., as
we have slated, nominated the present incum
bents of the different offices. Lieut. Gover
nor Xesmith, however, declined the nomina
tion, and Hon, Joel Hayden, was put on the
ticket in his place. Hon. A. H. Bullock, who
presided, and Hon. Richard H. Dana made
eloquent speeches. Tnc latter gentleman
“ Let us set an example here to-day that
shall be lelt; every man sacrificing his private
opinion as to the best mode of dealing wita
the gn at questions of the day, and uniting on
a consistent basis.’* He moved as an amend
ment to the motion for a committee on reso
lutions, that the following resolution be
adopted:
u Jit*<o'rfd. That Massachusetts, with ah her
lu art and tool and mind and strength, will sup
ptrt the President of the I'ai’ed Stales in the
prosecution of the war to the entire and final sup
pression of the rebellion."
The convention adopted five resolutions.
The first tdedges in support of the national
government, the second mentions slavery as a
principal support of the rebellion, and says it
should be exterminated. The third expresses
rcrpect and sympathy for our gallant soldiers,
who light and fall in the service. Tnc fourth
supports the Slate government. Tae tifih en
dorses onr senators in Congress, and recom
mends the election of Charles Sumner.
Hon. M. H. Carpenter, a distinguished
lawyer and a leading Democrat, has published
a scathing review of the recent address issued
by the Democratic convention of Wisconsin,
Mr. C. denounces the VaUandighamers and
copperheads in the strongest terms. He stig
matizes the address as a covert attack upon
the government and of the Union. He will
oppose it and its authors with all his might.

FBOn WASHINGTON.
The Army and Gen. 2TcCkllan~-Tblitico-mtli
tary Surroundings of Washington—The pre
vailing darkness concerning Rebel Movements
in Maryland.
[Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.]
Washington, Sept. 9,1862.
In previous letters I have suggested some
of the possible consequences of defeat. One
word on those of victory which is to-day the
more probable of the two. On Saturday
night several corps marching through the
streets in close order, passed Gen. McClellan’s
house and cheered him to the echo, he stand
ing upon his stoop surrounded by courtiers,
among them, I am assured, Senator Wilson of
Massachusetts, to receive their plaudits. In
those cheers, in the enthusiasm which those
who have talked with the soldiers find pervad
ing rank and file and officers from colonel down
in the several corps, are presages of victory,
even more hopeful than the inspiration which
our soldiers’ consciousness that at this mo
ment they, rather the rebels, are defending
home and fireside, must give. Then victory
is to be attributed to the reinstatement of Mc-
Clellan, and his reinstatement to the influence
of the army. Then it is the army and not the
president which makes and unmakes generals,
If I am rightly informed, the highest authori
ties, civil and military, acquit Pope and Mc-
Dowell—whether rightfully or not—of blame
for the disasters of the past fortnight, and do
not acquit McClellan of blame for disobedi
ence of orders on several occasions. The
opinions of the president and of Gen. Halleck
have not changed; their action has, and, as I
have said before, necessarily,inevitably so. If
the army, or any considerable portion of it, will
figbt under one man, and will not fight under
another, what can be done, at this crisis, bat
humor them ? The country must get a fight
out of them, at whatever sacrifice.
But who is responsible for this humiliating
state of things ? And to what conseqneences
are likely to flow from it ? The commander
in-chief is responsible. Hid he been com
mander-in-chief in fact, as In name from be
ginning ; had he ordered his generals what to
do and not what to do, and punished the
slightest act of disobedience or insubordina
tion by them as the most severe disciplina
rians among them, punish their subordinates;
had he in a word shown decision or dignity of
character in his relations with military com
manders, had he left his foot where he pat it
down and not yielded in lesser things, he
would not have been obliged to yield in this
great one. The last favor it is diffi
cult to refuse, when all£but the last
have been granted. It frequently takes the
president a long while to make up his mind;
but It takes him much longer to translate his
conclusion into action. He determined to
remove Fremont soon after the fall of Lexing
ton, but it was six weeks before he did it.
Long ago he made up his mind that McClellan
was not”the man under whose command a great
army would “attack, pursue, and destroy the
enemy wherever he could be found,” but he
allowed him frequently to disobey orders and
to add imjjertinence to disobedience, without
rebuke. , ,
What are the consequences i One of Mc-
Clellan’s stall' officers, on one of the very
davs during which Franklin was held back
Iroin going to Pope’s relief, and Fi*z John
Porter"was held back from the field of battle
at a critical moment, told the president that
there would be no victory until McClellan re
sumed the command of the army. And G in.
Sickles, a day later, boastlngly said to an
acquaintance: “Has not my prophecy, that if
McClellan were removed, it would be a ques
lion between Jackson’s army and ours winch
should first g: t to Washington,been foltilled ?”
“You Lave survived.the republic, Mr. Presi
dent,” said Gen. Milroy, at the white house,
a day or two since. “It is not slavery which
has killed it, nor the rebellion; it is West
Point.”
I do not know whether Milroy referred to
the singular occurrence of action—some call
it conspiracy—between Generals Fitz John
Porter, Alexander and Griffin in ml.umder
standing and Franklin in delaying to obey
orders, upon the successful execution of
which many sunpose, rightly or wrongly, that
the issue of Friday's and Saturday’s battles
turned; or to the course ot the president in
yiddir-g to Gen. McClellan’s request for the
postponement of the court of Inquiry ordered
to investigate those charges and the release
from arrest of the officers named. Postpone
ment they call it and the court, has gone
through the form of adjourning over, as if it
meant to sit in earnest some day. It never
will sit. When the President admitted the
force of Gen. McClellan’s plea that the offi
cers accused could not be spared from their
respective commands, and at the same time
spared McDowell from his corps and sent his
accuser ID St. Paul, he practically dissolved
the court; and in effect determined that no
cue should be punished, and that Gen. Mc-
Dowell alone, the only officer, wao demands
an investigation of his own conduct, should
be disgraced without having an opportunity
to set himself right. If General Pope be
as guilty, as is alleged—at the.3least,
never have another opportunity to
draw his sword at the head of an army or
to write a general order. If the charges which
he has filed against the Peninsular generals
supported by sufficient evidence, they should
be investigated lor the sake of the accused,
as well as of the country, and pxinUhm-.nl
should be meted out according to every one’s
deserts. No officer should be allowed to re
tain a command, while such a stigma rests
upon him.
But West Point rules, as Gen. Milroy told
the President, and if it has not yet killed the
republic, It has certainly put it in serious
jeopardy.
A great victory by the army under Gen. Mc-
Clellan will set the seal of permanence to the
reign of West Point. President, Congress,
people, will obey its ijw dUU. Every thinking
man can see what government, by the grace
ot West Point, means. “Politically,” said a
distinguished western man, “the victory,
wbiclTMcClellen will, as I am persuaded, win
in Maryland, the blow which he will deal the
rebellion will set us back six mouths.” We
have lost that much time in four days. The
man who is to wield the West Point sceptre
is a man of fixed ideas. Hi would
conquer he says, “without the elfuslon ot
blood;” be would save slavery by all means
in his power; he would wage the war by the
Sebastopol method and wash his sword, if he
drew it, in rosewater. Like Gen. Buell he
“dots not know what we are fighting for.”
The war to him is a trial of professional skill,
a tournament with old brothers in arms. Tuat
the country is bleeding, is* in sore trouble and
travail; every man who falls in Jbattle or by
camp disease makes a vacancy in some little
world of which he is the centre; that, iua
werd, war is a serious affair, imposing the
gravest responsibilities upon all, charged wi h
leadership he docs not realize. Up to that mo
ment an admirer saw him while looking over
the river at the hills which had witnessed
twelve horns before the massacre
of Ball’s Bluff, laughing and talking
with General Stone, apparently in the
best possible spirits. A brigadier general in
Banks’ corps, on his way into townlast week,
footsore and famished, worn with ceaseless
vigil and ceaseless anxiety during the disas
trous Rappahannock campaign, met him on
horseback, surrounded by the gay youths
who form “the staff” and was greeted care
lessly without one word of sympathy or one
glance showing appreciation of his valor aud
t-ullcrims. Until wc find leaders with hearts
in ihcuu with holy purposes, with serious
purpasciAi#least, with zeal and inflexible
will: uTOI irstuid of concocting excuses for
failure, we ifiarvcl at the great matter of suc
cess which a little fire kiudletb, we shall not
conquer tte South, which has, or what Is the
same thing, thinks it has, all tuis.

<The press reporter
,«h:is WtgrapAd jot that all are as one; aud
another gossiper has avowed that the Slauton-
SkClellan hatchet has been buried in a cap of
English breaklast tes, alter which the pipe of
ncace was smoked. Gen. Halleck aud the
President have already disappeared below the
horizon.
Perhaps, however, we shall have neither
victory nor defeat. For two days Sumner’s
line of buttle was drawn across the Rockville
hills, out of sight of the enemy; yesterday
your Bth Illinois cavalry entered Poolesville,
easily driving out the few rebels there whom
Washington'rumors had magnified into an
army 50,000 strong. Tbe enemy is in occupa
tion of Frederick and has made expeditious
thence with his cavalry. But in what force is
be in Maryland ? Estimates range from 5,0-30 to
120,000. Who knows? Ihave just seen a let
ter from the front, the intelligent writer of
which answers: “Nobody.” It is found as
difficult to obtain trustworthy information in
Maryland as in Virginia iamong Union men
of the Border Stale species as among out-and
out rebels. It is as true to-day as it was List
Thursday, when the first rebel horse waded
into Maryland, that we know absolute!? noth
ing about the enemy. He cometh like the
kingdom of Heaven, “without observation.”
Whethir, therefore, a battle will be fought on
Maryland soil, I canuotpretend to conjecture.
It depends upon the enemy, and he has given
no ciriain skn. You can speculate upon
probatuliti s in Chicago far better by the time
this reach-s you, if it be still an unsettled
question, than I can here at this writing.
Gin. Burnside is at Lteboro with the right
wing. Of his doings I hove no authentic ac
count; but I cannot help presuming that he
is as ignorant as McClellan and Sumner arc at
Rockville, or as the president is in the White
House.
Tbe mayor of Alexandria, one of the few
live Union men 1* Eastern Virginia believes
that tbe enemy S|L if not to blockade the
Potomac,at light artillery to harrass
our shipping and score It out of the river,
which he can easily do, despite .the thirty
three gunboats which patrol it night and day.
He proposes to send an African battalion to
cut down the trees, which line the Virginia
banks and watch tbe enemy’s operations and
the suggestion will soon be carried out.
Gen. \Willcox.
[From the Detroit Tribune, 12th.]
We are highly gratified to learn that Gen. O.
B. WUlcox, of this city, has been assigned a
division in Gen. Burnside’s army corps, the
location of which, at this time, we are not per
mitted to state. This circumstance is pecu
liarly gratifying to Gen. Willcox, from the fact
that he and Gen. Burnside were class mites at
West Point, and renewed their former intima
cy, after years of separation, on the disastrous
field of Bull Run, of 1861, where our distin
guished fellow citizen was taken prisoner.
Ko position in the army could have been more
graiiiyiog to him than he now holds, and we
congratulate him that matters have shaped
themselves so agreeably.

E-ght transports from above arrived
here this morning, containing prison
ers from Camp Douglas and other
points, to the number of 7,000. They
now repose at anchor off the levee, where
they have reposed since daylight, and the
bluffs above are crowded with ladies and gen
tlemen spectators, attracted there by mere
curiosity or by a desire to decry if possible,
the form of some friend or relative upon the
crowded decks. Some of the citizens bring
opera and field glasses to aid them in search

they have not looked upon for seven or
eight long, weary, dreary months.

BODIES FOUND.
Information was received here to-day by Mr.
Fish, the gentlemanly agent of the Adams’
Express Company, from Helena, that the body
of John Bslzer, whose death occurred by the
accident on the Acacia, some weeks since, had
been found by some parties below that city
and properly interred. His watch, and so ne
letters and papers discovered upon the corpse
were forwarded to Mr. Fish and will be by
him forwarded immediately to the family of
the deceased,
An accident occurred at Helena a day or two
eicne by which a Mr. Satek, a gentleman from
St. Louis, lost his life. It appears that Mr. 9.
went aboard a steamer tied up at the levee for
a glass of water, that element being very
scarce at that place, and while coming off his
foot slipped, he fell into the river and before
he could he recovered was drowned and his
body swept out of sight by the rushing current.
Some soldiers who bad set a line south of He
lena for the purpose of catching catfish, one
morning upon passing and trying their luck,
brought up the body of Mr. Stack attached to
the line where the fish hook had held it. They
took the corpse ashore aud it was properly
buried.
CAPTURE OF A REBEL MAIL.
An account reached here from Helena to
day detailing some facts, but no particulars
regarding the capture of a large and very in
teresting mall from Gen. Hindman and intend
ed for transportation to the confederate au
thorities at Richmond. Among the letters
from soldiers to their families, from husbands
to wives, brothers to sisters, lovers to their
dulclnas, etc., etc., were packages containing
official dispatches from Hindman's command,
giving most useful information of his late
maneuvers in Arkansas, and papers showing
his plans for the future. It was at first thought
to Be but one of Hlndmau’s tricks to entrap
the commander of the forces into some wild*-
goose chase, but certain facts revealed by de
serters and scouts, induced Gen. Steele- to dis
credit any such idea. He put such confidence
in,tbe package and its contents, at least, as to
send off yesterday morning several regiments
of troops in the direction of the ri;bei leader
wkh instructions which, if successful, will ef
fectually put a quietus on some ot his well
laid plans and obstruct his future operations
to a irreat extent for some time to come.
COTTON, ETC.
Cotton is very difficult to obtain in Helma.
Many speculators are deserting the busiaes,
pronouncing it as extra hazardous and not ex
actly remunerative. Tne lever, the heat, dust
and vermin of Helena have much to do in
this determination.
A NEW COMMERCIAL ORDER.
General Sherman, commandant of the post,
and W. D. Gallagher, special agent ot the sub-
treasury department, yesterday issued the
following important “order concerning
trade.”
As it will iniiucucc the actions of
many northern commercial men I give it en-
tire, as a mutter ot general interest:
Headquarters Fifth Division, I
Memphis, Sept. S, j
Until trade shall be regnlarly opened with ports
and places on the Mississippi River below .Mem
phis, all commercial intercourse between this city
and Helena, and with intermediate bonus. will be
under joint military and civil jurisdiction, and "-e
governed by the following regulations— the object
being, while guarding against the conveyance of
supplies of wnatever deserptiou to individuals or
bunds in armed or other hostility to the govern
ment of the United States, not to deny their usual
family and plantation supplies to persons
have refused or declined to engage in or other
wise promote the existing rebellion:
I. All permits shall be issued by the Board of
Trade in Memphis, and uo merchandise which is
not to permitted shall be received on board of any
steamboat or any other vessel or vehicle engaged
in the business of common carriers, except army
supplies moving under military authority.
11. Merchandise needed for family and planta-
tion supply (i.ot including arms or ammunition,)
will be permitted by the hoard of trade to persons
residing on cither side of the :.li-si«siopi River
between Memphis and Helena, or at, Helena or in
its neighborhood, who have not taken any active
part in the rebellion ibem»clves, directly or in
directly by connivance or assent aided or encour
aged those who have. Such supplies, however,
must go forward from time to time, in limited
Quantities, and before the delivery of the ilrst the
recipient will be required to appear iu per
son at either Mempais or Helena, and mate
aflidavit before a proper officer that no part of the
supplies so delivered shall be sold or otherwise
disposed of to other parties, or used in any man
ner or for any purpose whatever except for the
consumption of his or her family and plantation
laborers.
111. For the purpose of guarding against the
abuse of this privilege, and of detecting attempts
to etude or violate its terms, a list of persons of
the character above described, residing or having
their plantations within the district of country
named, and who have rem-.ined at their usual
places of residence attending to their legitimate
business, will be prepared at as early a period as
practicable, for the use of the Board of Trade.
This list will at all times be subject to revision,
that proper names which at 2rst may bo omitted
may be added to it, and improper ones, enrolled
thrbneh misrepicsontation, be erased.
IV. “For the present, aud till otherwise pro-
vided, all ibis special transportation will be com
mitted to a single steamboat, to be selected by
the Board of Trade, the master of which shall exe
cute bund with reasonable security that he will
nut deliver any package of merchandise, or any
part thereof, at any place other than that, for which
it t-lmll have been duly permitted. And such boat
shall carry and reasonably renumerate a revenue
aid, to he appointed subject to the approval ol
ihe secretary of the treasury, whose scope of du
ties shall be the same as those of similar officers
on boats engaged in the St. Louis and Memphis
trade.
V. The bar of this boat, and of all other boats
rnmiimrupnn the waters within the district pre
scribed, shall carry among its stores no intoxica
ting liquors for sale or barter along the coast, and
shall be immediately closed upon arriving at any
port or place wherethe drink'ng saloonshave been
dosed cither by civil or military authority.
VI. All lots of cotton, horses, mules or wagon?
shipped north from the lower Mississippi, must be
accompanied by the bills of sale, witnessed by at
least two witnesses, ami duly receipted at the time
of delivery to the purchasers.
VII. Tnese regulations arc at all times subject
tc change or revocation by the authority that es
tablishes them. W. T. Sherman,

THE FOHTU-FIKST ILLINOIS.
A correspondent of the Bulletin, gives the
following lads in regard to the 41st Illinois
regiment. It will be nailed with pleasure by
its numerous friends in the old Sucker State.
The writer says:
“The regiment is now encamped la a
pleasant grove on the Hernando road, about
two miles south ot the city, and is one of the
best regiments iu the western army. It was
made up at Decatur, Illinois: has been orgau
izid thirteen months, seven of which it has
passed in the field la active service; has been
in two severely contested battles, in the first
ot which, at Fort Douelson, it fought all one
day, and in the second, at Shiloh, it was in
luic of battle for thirty-six hours, and so
stubbornly did it oppose the advancing rebels
on the first day of that fight, that Gen. Il'irl
burt, in whose division it is, gave it the n uue
of the “The Fighting Fo-ty-First.” Not
withstanding the'’ exposures and hardships
which this regiment passed through at
Forts Henry and Douelson, at Pittsburgh
Landing, and daring the siege of Corinth, it
still numbers six "hundred strong and brave
men, who are ready and anxious for the active
operations of the coming fall canapa’ga.
-“Col. Isaac C-Pugh, of the 4lst, isave‘o
ran warrior. Many years ago he successfully
fomrh the Indians in these, then western wilds,
lie look an active and honorable part in the
Mexican war, and when the present rebellion
of the South broke out, he was among the first
of the tlm c months men who volunteered to
help put down the traitors, and served ai a
captain during that time. He is every inch a
soldier, and has never yet left his post of duty
to visit his family or for any other purpose.
He is a true and firm patriot, and his bravery
has become proverbial. Col. Pugh is entitled
to, and will no doubt ere long receive, a briga
dier general’s commission, as some steps have
already been taken in that direction. Wher
ever and whenever the 41 st again meets the
rebels, it will give a good account of itself.”
A PETTY DEFAULTER.
A young man by tbe name of 0. C. Sabin,
who for some months past has nourished at
Corinth and here as a dealer in newspapers
for the army, and who, I am informed, has re
spectable parents in the vicinity of Blooming
ton, 111., a tew days since, commenced bor
rowing small sums of money from, different
parties with whom he had business connec
tion?, tbe products of which speculation he
turned into Georgia and Alabama funds, say
ing he was going into the cotton speculation.
All at once he disappeared in company with
an escaped rebel prisoner, whose company he
hud kept for several days previous to his un
expected disappearance. He did not co
North to bis parents; but he did go South
—on a cotton speculating tour. Ee will not
return, It is supposed.
Wisconsin Legislature
In the Senate, on Thursday, a bill was in
troduced to suspend the operations of the
revised statutes requiring the publication of
the gene ral laws of tins session in all the pa
pers of the State.
In the Assembly the speaker announced the
usual standing committees, being nearly iden
tical with those of last year.
Mr j. E. Thomas’ resolution to refer so much
of the Governor's message as relates to drafting
and a modification of the militia system to a select
committee of seven; so much as relates to Indian
outrages to the standing committee on federal ro
tations ; so much as relates to giving the soldiers
a right to vote at the next election to a select com
mittee of seven; and so much as relates to tbe
volnn eere' aid fond to a select committee of
seven, was adopted.
The speaker appointed the commltees as fol
lows :
On Braftinn , —Messrs. Platto, Bowman,
Chandler, Bovd, Field, H. S. Thomas and Stamm.
Soldiers Voting— Messrs. Vivian, Butcher. Me-
Li an. Moore, W. E. Hanson, Bannisterand Tripp,

nut Street House, in Cincinnati on Monday.
His place of residence was Lima.
THE INVASION OF MARYLAND.
[Special Dispatch to the N. T. Tribune.}
Washington, Sept.U, 1862.
One of our special correspondents in the
front, writing; from the camp beyond Middle
brook yesterday evening, says that the army is
advancing so slowly that the soldiers have
ample time to recover their strength* worn
out by the Peninsula and Rappahannock cam
paigns.
There is little news to communicate. In
the skirmish of Tuesday, Farnsworth's Illinois
cavalry charged and broke two rebel regi
ments of horse, and took Poolesville for the
third time, at least according to authentic ac
counts.
Franklin was reported to have used his ar
tillery in front at Barnsvilie, and there were
indications that the rebels were iu force a few
miles beyond Middlcbrook. Tour correspod
ent expresses the opinion that the rebel
strength will be found between Sugar Loaf
Mountain and Monocacy Bridge. Their mask
is so complete, he says, that is literally true
that our generals know neither the position,
strength, nor purpose of the rebel leaders.
lu“bigh quarters, it is said, theories entirely
irreconcilable and plausible are advanced with
equal confidence. ~ They agree, however, in.
regarding a movement by the rebels on Balti
more as improbable under the rules of milita
ry strategy. The rebels can fight or relreut
as they prefer, since they hold the Upper Po
tomac ierds.
The Frederick army had bir 500 wagons last
Satui day. which were all filled with green
coin, to be used as food for men and horses.
If Maryland ever held out inducement to in
vasion, and promises of assistance, she has
not kept her* word to the rebels, who find lit
tle active sympathy and no real co-operation.
Your correspondent estimates the force at
about Frederick at 60,000, and we understand
that some at least of onr generals set the
whole of the enemy’s force inMarylandatnot
less than 140,000 or 159,000. Per contra, a
clever, active officer, who was within four
miles of Frederick day before yesterday, esti
mates the rebel strength at less than 10,000.
His testimony Is rendered unusually valua
ble by the fact that he has been stationed near
Poolesville for the past seven mouths, and Is
acquainted with many farmers in that neigh
borhood and on the roads toward Frederick.
A Union man with whom he has been ac
quainted for months, and whom he considers
entirely trustworthy, assures him that the col
umn which marched past his house from
Frederick to the river,,was not more than
6.000 strong, and that it consisted entirely of
cavalry and artillery.
Persons from Frederick with whom this
scout conversed made a similar statement a*
to the force there. Some farmers on the road,
whose testimony he regarded as of little value
with our gunerale, ray that there were from
140.000 to 150,000 rebels In the State.
This scout also says, that from aU he could
learn, Jackson has not been in Maryland at
all, the whole army of invasion being under
the command of Gen. Fitzhugh and Lee. The
main force of the rebels, he believes to be seve
ral miles back of Leesburg, and to be between
100.000 and 150.000 strong.
He regards Fitzhugh Lee's force as a for
aging party, with the farther design of occu
pying the attention of as many ot our troops as
possible. On the farms along the roads over
which it bad passed neither cattle, grain, nor
vegetables remained. Every farmer had been
stripped ot all his portable property, the
rebels paying for it not in nreen backs, as is
falsely reported, but confederate notes, if the
seller would tike them, otherwise not at all.
The scout expressed the belief that after
delaying our advancing army as long as possi
ble, and making its campaign as ridiculous as
possible in tbe eyes of the world, Fitzhugh
Lee would makegood his retreat, with all the
supplies he has gathered, going by way of
Hagerstown and Willuim-port.
The report that the rends- have occupied
Hagerstown, which is positively assorted to
night, favors this supposition, and it is not in
consistent with it that the rebels gave signs of
an intention to hold, fora time, the line of
the Monocacy, on which there has been skir
mishing to-day. The scout saw one or two
rebel ragged and barefoot soldiers.
He says that Lee had, when he entered
Maryland 30 or 40 12-ponnders, but a very
small amount of ammunition, and that he
hopes to supply this want in Maryland as well
as the necessities of his men and horses for
food.
Scouting parties of rebels have recently
been within forty miles of Baltimore, on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and have carried
away telegraph instruments from several sta
tions.
A BOLD SPEECH.
Tliaddeus Stevcas on tlie War Policy
of tlie Government,
Thaddens Stevens, of Pennsylvania, having
received a unanimous re-nomination for Con
gress from the Union men of liis district, ac
cepted it in the following speech, delivered
before the convention, in which he discusess
the policy of the government with great bold
ness :
“ Fellow Citizen? : I have come for the
purpose of thanking you and accepting your
nomination. It is always gratifying to a pub-
lie man to be assured of the continued conli
dence of those whose servant he is, but espe
cially so in times like these, when the wisest
men differ on questions of policy. I had pre
pared to speak on those questions, and to
criticise, not In a iul.-omc manner, but as I
thought it deserved, the conduct of the war
and the present policy of the administration;
but in the lasi hour I have hesitated whether
to speak as I had intended—whether it were
proper to ciilicise now, in this hour of deep
est gloom, when we know not where our ar
mies are, but only that they are nowhere suc
cessful. But whether we advise the govern
ment, or find fault with it, we must alt do ev
erything to strengthen the hands of our na
tion. Let us not despair; life is not all sun
shine—it has gloom wjih joy, adversity with
prosperity—nor is the victory always to the
just—human energy and'earnestness will of
ten wrest from fate what would seem to be
long to justice alone. Possibly we have not
yet suffered enough; but let no man filter in
nis loyalty to the government, no matter how
he may criticise Us policy; lor he who falters
now is a traitor not only to his country but to
humanity and to his God.
“1 have not determined whether to speak
as I bad intended; perhaps, when we know
the result of these few days I may meet you
and speakto you. I have protested against
the present policy, not only to the people,but
to tie face of the president and his cabinet,
and on the floor ot Conercss, as those know-
who have done me the honor to read my
speeches; told them that they were exercising
too much lenity at the request of border
statesmen—not one of whom, in my judg-
ment, has loyalty in I have accused
the prime minister to his face for having gone
back from the faith he taught me, and instead
ol arming every man, black or white, who
would fight for this Union, withholding a
well-meaning president from doing so until,
as we advance into their country and our ar
mies dwindle away from miasma and disease,
they spring up behind us and retake what we
had' gamed. They still hold the Mississippi,
and threaten us even on the banks of the
Ohio; all because the slaves at home arc giv
ing them no trouble—because we are, at the
point of the bayonet, keeping them loyal to
their masters instead of to the Union.
“ I have told these things to the president
and cabinet, and they replied—‘lt may come
to this.' “Come to this!” when 200,000 men
have melted sway and $2,000,000,000 been
spent. “Come to this!” when another half mil
lion lives shall have bec-n lost, and a billion of
dollars more laid upon yon in taxation. I can
not and will not stand this —and if yon elect
me I shall vote that every man be armed,
black and white, who can aid in crushing the
rebellion; that every inch of rebel soil be
taken and sold to pay the debt of this war. I
will not go with the president in paying for all
the slaves —I did not vote for his resolution—
I will not vote to pay for any slave of a rebel.
“ But I will uphold the administration as far
as possible—saying at the same time that it is
all in vain unless they change their policy.
Would it not be bitter that 15,00 v armed
slaves should lie unburied around the battle
fields iu ar Manassas than that your friends and
mine should thus be there ? The rebels might
have slain them; they would have saved us,
and our own men would hive gone fresh into
action and to victory. Yet at this sympa
thizers at the North cry ‘abolition 1* Aboli
tion—yes ! abolish everything on the face of
the earth but this Union; free every slave—
Slav every traitor —burn every rebel mansion,
if these things bo necessary to preserve this
temple of freedom to the world and to our
posterity. Unless we do this we cannot con
quer them. I have spoken thus in Congress
—and in the last week, after a few remarks of
mine, the vote was eighty-f nr to forty-two—
eightv-fcar agreeing with me, where a year
ago not fifty could have been found; and if I
go back there again, if wc have any one left to
fight by that time, the whole nariou will be
with me! Either we mustpursue that policy,
or the war will be disgracefully abandoned at
last, and our country divided —and he is a
traitor who talks of sspara’ion on any terms.
Again, I thank vou—l have said more than I
intended when t began, less than X expected
last night; but I have told you these things,
that even if my principles be wrong, they shall
never be hidden.”
The Cotton Question In England*
Tbe cotton question is discussed by the
London [Duny Xeics in a desponding spirit
It says:
The supply of American cotton is rapidly
becoming exhausted, and these sorts have
consequently risen during the week no less
than 4d to 5d per pound. For the future
American cotton, as being quite a “fancy” ar
ticle, will command a “fancy” price—indeed,
just such a price as the limited number of
holders may choose to demand for it. Ac
cordingly, en interesting revolution is
taking' place in the manufacture. # Ameri
can cotton parses out of consumption, and
the small quantity remaining will be hus
banded and used only in those fins articles
which are worn by the wealthier classes of
society. The cotton of Surat —the description
now chiefly entering into consumption—can
not be worked Into the finer sorts of yarns
and goods; before it will become available
for them its quality must be greatly improved.
It is very suitable, however, to coarse fabrics,
and with coarse fabrics we must be
content until such time as America
sends her produce here again, or the
cotton of other countries improves in
•quality as well as increases in quantity.
* * * YTe have shown how small is the
present stock of cotton, and, looking to the
immediate future, the prospect is gloomy in
the extreme. Chief reliance is placed upon
tbe supply of Surat sorts, bat it is not by any
means eecouraeing to find that the total quan
tity from this 'source now afloat and in the
way to is only 90,000 bales more than
it was at inis time last year, being 390,000
bales, against 300,000 in 1861. From no other
source the deficiency now indicated be
made up save with time. Assuming that the
American crop Is now released, and allowing
for the probable from every other
quarter, competent authorities estimate that
during the next six months there will be only
sufficient cotton to admit of the operatives
having two days* work a week, and this is up
on the supposition that not a single bale win
r? mrdn in stock at tbe end of that period.
The later anticipation, of course, will not be
literally fulfilled* but there is too much reason
to apprehend* as we have already hinted* that
the pressure on the cotton manufacturing dis
tricts •will become yet more intense. A well
known Manchester firm has given public ex
pression to an opinion that its seventy will be
the greatest during the autumn and winter
months, from October to February next.
The story of Sigel’s having lost seven
teen guns is entirely false. * His actual loss in
the recent engagements is one gun of John
son's battery, a rifled cannon o£ Wiard's pat
tern, and a email mountain howitzer, belong
ing to what is known as a jackass battery.
Tbe desperate fighting done by this corps is
evidenced by the loss of one of its divisions
alone in the last three weeks. Carl Schurz,
out of about 7,000, lost in actual killed and
wounded 782 men.—T Vashinyton Letter.
