Th'w is through the operations of Yankee speculators. Gold is held at New York, at say, 15 ' per cent, premium, while silver is 8 or 9 per cent. The speculators buy silver, take it to a Canada,' exchange it for Canadian bills, present - fht bills at the Bank and demand gold for " them, then' take the gold back to New York, 'clearing a handsome margin by the operation. The Canadian Banks 'and merchants are be- : poming quite shy of American silver in conse- . quence. ' . ' . ' The Payment of Bounties, v .

The story published in come of the paper some time ago, stating that a recruiting meeting in Jackson county, had been broken up by a band of armed '4Beceasio'nut8' who had torn down the National flag, run up a Secession one, hurraed for Jeff Davis, 4c. turns out to be a miserable falsehood, as we supposed it to be at the time. . The rumor that the editor of the Jackson Express had been arrested and sent to one of the American bastiles, is another canard. The paper is now and has always been, a good and true Union paper. Gen. Cox's Army. . General Cox, with the greater portion of his army, left the Xenawha Valley, and has gone to join Gen. Pope, now on the Rappahannock. A sufficient force is left up the Kenawha to defend the position, . while the main portion of the army went east through Parkersburg as rapidly as transportation could be procured The health of the army is generally very good and the regiments in splendid condition. . One of them, the 36th, has over one thousand men, having lately recruited some two hundred, and the others are all in good condition. A Dialogue on Recruiting. The Boston Courier reports the following conversation which, with a slight change might suit several other localities : "John, where's your master to-day ?" : 44 Oh, sir, he's off recruiting." Recruiting, is he ? That's good where's he recruiting ?" ' Up in the White Mountains, sir, recruit ing his health.". Ah I he's sick is he? What's the mat ter?" ITe took cold on account of the draft." ( Aside. V "The draft of air of course! (Aloud.) That's bad ; then he won't go to the war?" "Oh no, sir, he's too Wide-awake." Good as Old Wheat. We received, says the Crawford County Fo rum, a few days since,- a private letter from a friend In the army, in which he gets off the following on the Abolition majority in (he present Congress: " There is one thing that I regret, and that is that the Black Republican Congress did not pass a bill to make the d A nigger, a legal tender. It would have been just as constitutional as anything else that ridiculous party has ever done." Scarcity of Arms. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes : The arms question begins to assnnie importance. If stopping enlistments some months ago was done at an in opportune time it was hardly more so than the annuling gun contracts at the time it was done. Similar contracts rre understood to be making L'now. to supply exigencies, and at terms not nearly so favorable, General HcClellan. The following paragraph is clipped from the Pittsburgh Gazette, a " loyal" Abolition paper. It needs no comment : "There is no man. or a -newspaper, in the whole length and breadth of the free States, sympathizing with secession, and wishing it success, but what is strongly in .avor of Gen. McClellan. : This is the fact patent to everybody. The country must and will judge what the proper inference from such a fact is." Thurlow Weed. The Washington correspondent of the New York Post says : : " Mr. Thurlow Weed goes fo Europe in two or three days upon the same errand that be went on before. The Government feels easy on the score of intervention for the present, but Mr. Weed goes over to watch certain matters in England and raoce.

The Ohjeet of the War. Mr. Spauldino, the Ropublican Member of Congress from the Buffalo district, :haa Been making a war speech since his return to his constituents. The Courier aaserta that he fita-ted, aa an inducement to men to volunteer, that the land of the rebels in the Southern States would in the end be seized and divided among the soldiers of the Federal army. The Express, Mr. Spaclding's organ, does not deny that such language was uttered by him, but justifies the sentiment and the policy it avows. The Express says: We should not regard it as a very dangerous proposition. We rather think it would be a popular doctrine to inculcate that "the boya" who fight the battles of this war and subjugate the rebellious territory should share- in the "spoils." . There is to be no peace without subjugation, and no subjugation tnithout extermination, under the spirit which now actuates the rebellion -and hence, when toe have exterminated Ihe rebels, their estates may as well be divided up among "the boys' who give us the victory, as to run to waste with no one to till and male them productive and useful. Are we to understand that the war we are now prosecuting professedly for the preservation of the Government and the enforcement of the laws, is to be converted by Mr. Spauld-inci and his Republican associates into a war of Subjugation, extermination and Pillage ?

Clay i the guest of of Secretary Chase, and ! helieve they both look at these questions with the same clear eye. JV. Y. Tribune. There is not a loyal citizen, North or South, who can endorse the sentiments publicly expressed by Cassius M. Clay a few days since, for they are inconsistent with the idea of loyalty. They avo w hostility to restoration' of the Government as it was. They look to the repudiation of the bond of Union. They, would tear into pieces the parchment upon which Constitution is written. They are but anoth er version of the words Of the bold traitor Wen hell Phillips, who cries, "in God's name let the Union be destroyed, and construct a new one out of the ruins." Yet the Tribune's Washington correspondent, who has the best opportunity to be correctly informed, tells us that these treasonable sentiments "find an echo in the heart of more than one member of the Administration," and that Secreta" ry Chase, who entertains Clat as his guest, 4'look8 at these questions with the same clear eye," . - ; In Other words, the Tribune would persuade the country that some mernbers of the Ad ministration, pledged to uphold the Union, de" sire that it should be destroyed that some of the highest officers of the Government who have sworn to support the Constitution,' repu" diate its obligations and would violate its let ter and spirit. While the country is looking with confi" dence to the President for a firm, Constitution al and patriotic policy, the Tribune is endeavoring to fix the brand of disunion and Abolitionism upon the members of his Cabinet !r X. Y. Argus, ". ;. Wendell Phillips and the Union. We find in the New York Tribune of the 20th inst. a letter from Wendell Phillips, "de fining" h?B political position. It will be seen that he " would not have givett the Adminis tration a dollar or a man to put down the re bellion. We shall see whether he will be ar rested. He says : y;V -Y.:; .. 'Believing thesethree things, I eccept Webster s sentiment, 4Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseperable Gladly would I servethat Union, giving it musket, sword.voice, pen -the -best I have. But the Union, which has for twenty five years barred me from its highest privileges by demanding an oath to a Xro. slavory Conetitutionj still shuts that door in my face; and this Administration clings to a policy which, I think, makes every life now lost in Virginia, and every dollar now ppent there, utter waste. I can not conscientiously support such a Union and Administration. But there is a room for honest difference of opinion. Others can support it. To such I say, fo; give to the Union your best blood, your eartieet support, .-: "I said on the 1st of August that, had I been in the Senate, I should have refused the Administration a dollar or a man, until it adopted a right policy. That I repeat. Had I been, in that way, a part of tbe Government, I should have tried so to control its action. You - were bound as a joumalisst, I think, to have: impressed that duty on the Republican party which holds the Administration"' Such a course is right and proper under free governments. But when Congress has decided, : and under its authoritr, by-hi 'own, the President demands soldiers, tpe hour for such effort or protest i gone. We harp' no right, then, to discourage enlistments, as a means to change public opinion,' or to influence the ' Admistra-tion. Our remedy is different. If we can not actively aid we must submit to the penalty, and strive meanwhile . to change that public thought which alone can alter the action pf Government." -t'-r; V .''"': ' ' ' - The Pontoon Bridge Across the Chicka- ; -" outinyr ; A few words in regard to that splendid bridge are worth while.

V, .;, :- - Mr, Browning explaiped his position' upon the confiscation question, and did it to the satisfaction and approval of a vast majority of those who heard him. He said thatCbn-gr ess had no power to confiscate property, and that confiscation existed anywhere, it existed in the President, by virtue of bis office as Commander-in-chief of our armies. The Constitution conferred no such power upon Congress, and he had sworn . to support the Confiscation Bill and the Constitution too, so he supported the Constitution and opposed confiscation." Upon this question he stood with the President. The same was true upou the question of arming the negroes. He was opposed to arming them, and so was the President. He was for the Union as it was and the Cou stitution as it is. In 'the utterance of these patriotic sentiments, Mr. Browning was enthusiastically applauded; There were a few persons present who did not join in these demonstrations of approval- : But they were open, avowed, ultra Abolitionists., Mr, Brownme denounced the Abolitionists in unmeasured terms. He denounced th? Abolition leaders in the -United States Senate naming Sumner, Wilson, and others as disloyal, traitors to the country, wild, deluded, crazy fanatics, who were bent upon the destruction of the Government. . He had no sympathy with them, and had refused to co-operate with them, and shoutft" continue to do so. He, had marked out his course and shonld pursue it. It mattered not that some of his old personal and political friends had turned against him he was for the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is, and upon that platform he intended to stand, - though every friend he had should desert him, and though every dollar's worth of property that he owned in the world should be sacrificed or destroyed. He was interrupted by an Abolitionist present; who charged him with having gone over to the iemacrat8. Mr. Browning responded that he was ready to goorer to the- Democrats, or to any other party, or to act with patriotic men to whatever party they 7 might belong, who were for the Union and the Constitution. Mr. B. then asked this brazen-faced Abolitionist if he would be willing to receive the South back into the Unionj with alt their constitutional rights, if the rebels would lay down their arms to-morrow? As might be expected, the crazy fanatio replied no he would not 1 he would not be willing to receive the South back unless they would first abolish slavery.' Mrr Browning said this was just as he Bupposed- these Abolitionists were not in favor of the Union and the Constitution, bht would sacri fice both, and bring the liberties of the people beyond the hope of resurrection, if they could but accomplish their wicked and traitorous designs. Another' Abolition fanatio wanted to know oTTIr. B. "-"hefeer he' woalvot-i-favorof emancipating the slaves if ha believed such emancipation would put an end to the war. "No, Birf said Mr. B. "I would not give such a vote, because I have sworn to support the Constitution. . Under. thatr Constitution we have no power to emancipate the slaves." At this point,' the Rev. Mr. King, who was ifi the audience, was heard to say that Mr Browning "is a traitor to his country." Mr. B. did not probably hear the remark, as he did not condescend to notice ft. Mr; Browning commented at considerable length upon the course of certain Abolition journals, that have devoted so much of their time and space to denunciations of our Generals in the field, and so little of their space to denunciations of the rebel commanders. Among these journals were the Chicago Tri bune and the Qaincy Whig. He was partlou-larlr -severe upon the editors of the Chicago Tnbune. He read an article from the- irittune. ami denounced it as the most infamous treason that had4 appeared in any paper published in the United States since the war began..": Of the editors of the Tribune he had a moet contemptible opinion. He did not believe them to be loyal, and, if they should take an oath to support the Government he -would not believe their oath. . As to tbe Quihcy Whig, he couldn't expect much from that source; it was incapable of uttering the truth about him. and had persistently misrepresented his position from the beginning. He read some extracts from the Whig to show that he had been out rageously misrepresented by that paper. In regard to the war, he was for its vigorous, energetic and successful prosecution. He told his Republican friends that they could not hope to bring the war to a successful issue if they made it a war for the negro. ' The Demo crats, he said, would not co-operate with them in a war of that sort. But confine it to its legitimate, rightful object let it continue to be, as it had been from the beginning, a war for the Constitutiqn aid the Uniqq, and the' Democrats would work , and fight shoulder to shoulder with the Republicans, indeed, all tbe patriots, of whatever party, would work to gether. Mr. crowning throughout was listened to with good attention and with great interest. During bis speech he wasr frequently inter rupted with the' enthusiastic applause by his audience. : ; - '.. How Greeley, of the Jfexr York Trihnae . Propose to Carry on the wajrr Philosopher Gexklxt, of the New..York Tribune, is, in his own estimation, a greater Qeneral than either McClellan or Halleck.

It is an old adage that with some people, a lie well stuck to ia better than the truth. . This seems to be the principle upon which the writers aud conductors of. the Republican pi ess of the State propose carrying on the present Campaign- Notwithstanding it has been denied and proved false repeatedly denied-and refuted by Mr. Vallandigham, both in Congress and out of it the Marion Unionist following in the wake of the Cincinnati Commercial, Gazette and &a?e Journal, and - other Abolition prints-contnues tc repeat the stale and threadbare charge that Mr. . Vallandigham, when the rebellion 1 first broke out, declared that no jroops going to fight the South should pass through" his District except Over his dead body.' A charge so silly, it wonld seem needs scarcely a passing notice, much lees a formal refutation ; but the Abolition press stick to it with such pertinacity that unless reminded occasionally of its utter falsity and superlative silliness they would not only learn themselves to believe it, dut might blind others with the same delusion. It will be remembered, with what pertinacity these same men continued to misrepresent the lamented Douglas, fox years after its falsity was proved to ' the world, in represented as saying, speaking for the South, and menacing the Jforth or, as the Abolition press had it, "assuming to be the champion of the slave Oligarchy," "we will subdue you," Falsehood, detraction and misrepresentation now as then seem to be the only stock in trade of these mendacious scribblers oi a mendacious and corrupt press. The inordinate abuBe and shameless persecution now so lavishly heaped upon the head of Mr. Vallandigham will not hurt in the least. It is the same kind of. warfare the Abolitionists made upon the gifted Douglas. No sooner did Douglas gain . prominence, and the people began to recognize bis genius and power and growing greatness, than instantly went up from valley and hilltop, the cry of "Douglas: the traitor," and every Abolition press orator, both. great and small, echoed andre-echoed it throughout the land. " And it will be r-membered L with whHt grim satisfaction . they were wont to place . his name thus: "Stephen ARNOLD Douglas;"! by which to associate him in the mind of the public with the traitor Arnold.". Nor will it be forgotten that for the exercise-of his right' and duty aa Senator, lie was presented with thirty three cent pieces, designed to cast reproach upon him bo com-j paring him with Judas Iscariot, who for thirty pieces of silver, betrayed his master." And-it will be remembered, too, with 'deep mortifi- i cation, that euuh was the bitter, revengeful, implacable feeling against this great and good man, at one period of his history and that of a party whicn then claimed to be theadvocates- "and specially appointed defenders of free speecch and a free press, and which now attempts to throttle one and destroy the other, that he was'ehablect to 'travel from Washing-ington , to Chicago by the light of his own : burning effigies. - , . - TL.. irf 11.1 11 - i. iSit.ii.T ,f mr,.- J heaped upon Mr. Vallandigham, and by the same Abolition disunionista who have been laboring for nineteen States out of the Union ; who, when Douglas and Vallandigham and all true patriots were rallying under the old flag of the Union, were carrying flags with only sixteen stars and "No Union with . Slaveholders," as its device, and who. to-day, if they dared, would carry the same flag. It was the Abolitionists then; who abused, v ill i-fied and persecuted Douglas; it is the same class who are nuw using the same species of abuse to break down. Yallandighaiq. Douglas lived to see his name honored and revered by all as a patriot; Vallandigham, if he lives much less time than usually alotted to a roan will live to see his name occupy . a similar niche in the pinnacle of fame, and the friends of -each will live to see the names of both honored with a happy and appropriate associ ation in history with. Jefferson and Jackson and other patriots who lired down the perse cutions of the Federalists" and Tories of their day, as-Pdug'tas did in his,' and- as Vallandigham will in his.; t-. ? : - All of these t men have met with the same vile vitupation and malicious detraction. The leading articles of the Abolition press abusive of Valiandicham " are but a reproduction of their articles in 1854, 1856 and 1800, on Douglas with his name stricken out land Vallandigham 's substituted in place of it. And these same articles on Douglas were but articles years before published on Gen. Jackson, the old hero's name being dropped and the young hero's being put in place of it. While they all find their origin in the old Federal and Tory editorials written against J efferson, such changes only made as to suit the different circumstances under which they are published. We could substantiate this proposition by numerous Jfacts and iucidents of history,, and show by an uninterrupted line of geheology that the Abolitionists of 18(J2 is not only a lineal but a full blooded descendant of the Tory Of 1776 or the Federalist of I860.

Archbishop Hughes delivered a discourse in St. Patricks Cathedral, in.New York, on Sunday, giving his impressions of affairs abroad, intimating that intervention is noim-probable, and concluding.: with the following reinarks upftn the war;. .: ..; -i-r C . There are things that no man can pretend to fathom questions that depend on so many additional circUmstauces for their solution.- But there is one thing and one question that should be clear every mind. " It is this that if a war of this kind should be continued many years it is recognized as being allowable for other nations to come in in their strength and put an end to it, Better for the people ; themselves to pvit an end to it with as little delay as possible. It is not a scourge that has visited us alone: From the beginning of the world war have been nation against nation and often times the moat t(e.rr4ulc of ajl 'wars which is pot a war of nation against nation, but of brother against brother. How long is this to go on ? If it goes on what is to be the result of it, as affording a pretext for all the powers of Europe to combine to put an end to it 7 And, although I would not say that even then they should not be permitted to interfere, when they interfered through benevolence, and above all, when the sword might be put at rest, I do say to every man, if they do in ter-ere and if they interfere sqccessfuUy if tbe country and the government are not maintained by every sacrifice that is necessary to maintain them, then your United States will become a Poland then it will become divided then the strife will multiply across every border every State for every section will claim to be independent, and make itself an easy prey for those Tvbo will turn and appropriate the divisions Of the people of this country for their own advantage. Ohl let it not be so. : : .: - : ' " . ' ' - It now little of what has transpired here daring my absence. I have had scarcely time to loolfat the papers since I returned. Ent,at all events, much : has been done, though not this unfortunate war. Volunteers have been appealed to in advance of the draft, as I understand, but for my own part if I had a voice in the councils of the country, I' would say : let volunteeringcontinue ; if the threehundred-thousand on your list be not enpugh this week, next week make a draft of three hundred thousand more. It is not cruel, this.-This is mercy, this is humanity. Anything that will put an end to this drenching with blood the whole surface of the cpuntry that will be humanity. Then, every man on the continent rich or poor will have to take his share in the contest. Then it will not be left to the gQvernmenrr whatever government : it will be, to plead with the people and call on them to come forward, and ask them if they would be drafted. .- " ' 1 ' - No, it is for ; them, the people, to rise and ask the government to draft them; and those who are wealthy and cannot go themselves can provide substitutes and bring the thing to a ciose, ii u ean oe aqne. no doubt the same efforts will be made on the other side and who. can blame them t For the sake pf hp man ity we " must": resort to some' course of the k:nd. In the meanwhile, beloved breth ren, it i3 enqugb for us tq weep for this calam ity, to pray to uod that it may be put to an end, to make sacrifice of everything that we have to sustain the independence, the unity, the perpetuity, the prosperity of the only government we acknowlelge in the world. But it is not iie-eseary to hate our enemies It is not neitcssarv to be cruel in battle, nor to be crue! a fi er it termination. It is necessary to be true to be patriotic, to do for the country what the country needs, and the blessings of God will, recompense tliose who discharge their duty without faltering, and without violating any of the laws of God or man. - . . . . - Garibaldi's Hew Movement. Garibaldi s movement has startled all Europe. Victor Emanuel, though eager enough to possess Rome, cannot afford to quarrel with France, and France still guarantees the inviolability of the Pope's temporalities. Neither does he care q provoke war with Austria just now for the possibility of getting Venetia. .He is sensible, on the other hand, of the debt of gratitude under which he is placed tq Garibal-bi, and when the latter began to call for recruits remonstrated ffhU hirn in vain. Jls then.- is-issued a counter proclamation , to Garibaldi's appeals, and warned the young men of Italy not to yield to the entreaties xt their intrepid but rash leader. These 6teps have been taken in vain.; Our dispatches contain reports of the operations pf Garibaldi in Sicily, of his speech declaring that Rome must be had, and in effect that he would tip as he . pleased with the united Italy he had made. "The. English and French papers unite in denouncing his course as" headlong and ill-timed.; " It certainly puts. Victor Emanuel in the awkward position of being obliged to" fight against big old friend and for his bitterest foes, should he adhere tq his determination to check the uprising. Should: he not interfere, France would not tolerate amcjkplj.efrrispnat- Rome, so if the Italian monarch wishes ever pp well in his - heart ' for. the 'success of Garibaldi, he could not venture tq give, him even ,the ..negative support pf Jetting him go on. .

The men who utter these beautiful sentiments .being good and true Abolitionists, they are permitted to discourage the enlistment of volunteers with impunity, and no order for their arrest comes from Washington! ' WMeh i$ the Traitor? The Abolitionists denounce Vallandigham . aa a " traitor" and at the eaine time eulogise , John A. Bingham as a "patriot" of the first water. They are both members of Congress 'from Ohio, and during the late session gave expression to their honest sentiments, s follows: '. 44 It is to the restoration of the Union as it ras in 1789, and continued for over seventy years, that I am bound to the last hour oi my political life."

Testimony of the Cincinnati Commercial. : The Cincinnati Commercial has the candor to admit that "ULTRA ANTI-SLAVERY MEN IN CONGRESS have during the late tet-r DAMAGED the Union canst by the unseemly vrgency efpartisan measure."

Sharp Yanfcee. Speculation. ' While silver commands a premium of 8 or 9 percent, in the United States, there is dan- ger of it being &l a d.WPU.nt i.P QanacJa. Th'w is through the operations of Yankee speculators. Gold is held at New York, at say, 15 ' per cent, premium, while silver is 8 or 9 per cent. The speculators buy silver, take it to a Canada,' exchange it for Canadian bills, present - fht bills at the Bank and demand gold for " them, then' take the gold back to New York, 'clearing a handsome margin by the operation. The Canadian Banks 'and merchants are be- : poming quite shy of American silver in conse- . quence. ' . ' . ' The Payment of Bounties, v .

The story published in come of the paper some time ago, stating that a recruiting meeting in Jackson county, had been broken up by a band of armed '4Beceasio'nut8' who had torn down the National flag, run up a Secession one, hurraed for Jeff Davis, 4c. turns out to be a miserable falsehood, as we supposed it to be at the time. . The rumor that the editor of the Jackson Express had been arrested and sent to one of the American bastiles, is another canard. The paper is now and has always been, a good and true Union paper. Gen. Cox's Army. . General Cox, with the greater portion of his army, left the Xenawha Valley, and has gone to join Gen. Pope, now on the Rappahannock. A sufficient force is left up the Kenawha to defend the position, . while the main portion of the army went east through Parkersburg as rapidly as transportation could be procured The health of the army is generally very good and the regiments in splendid condition. . One of them, the 36th, has over one thousand men, having lately recruited some two hundred, and the others are all in good condition. A Dialogue on Recruiting. The Boston Courier reports the following conversation which, with a slight change might suit several other localities : "John, where's your master to-day ?" : 44 Oh, sir, he's off recruiting." Recruiting, is he ? That's good where's he recruiting ?" ' Up in the White Mountains, sir, recruit ing his health.". Ah I he's sick is he? What's the mat ter?" ITe took cold on account of the draft." ( Aside. V "The draft of air of course! (Aloud.) That's bad ; then he won't go to the war?" "Oh no, sir, he's too Wide-awake." Good as Old Wheat. We received, says the Crawford County Fo rum, a few days since,- a private letter from a friend In the army, in which he gets off the following on the Abolition majority in (he present Congress: " There is one thing that I regret, and that is that the Black Republican Congress did not pass a bill to make the d A nigger, a legal tender. It would have been just as constitutional as anything else that ridiculous party has ever done." Scarcity of Arms. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes : The arms question begins to assnnie importance. If stopping enlistments some months ago was done at an in opportune time it was hardly more so than the annuling gun contracts at the time it was done. Similar contracts rre understood to be making L'now. to supply exigencies, and at terms not nearly so favorable, General HcClellan. The following paragraph is clipped from the Pittsburgh Gazette, a " loyal" Abolition paper. It needs no comment : "There is no man. or a -newspaper, in the whole length and breadth of the free States, sympathizing with secession, and wishing it success, but what is strongly in .avor of Gen. McClellan. : This is the fact patent to everybody. The country must and will judge what the proper inference from such a fact is." Thurlow Weed. The Washington correspondent of the New York Post says : : " Mr. Thurlow Weed goes fo Europe in two or three days upon the same errand that be went on before. The Government feels easy on the score of intervention for the present, but Mr. Weed goes over to watch certain matters in England and raoce. U is earn mat otner distinguished men will follow him soon." Aliens Sot Liable to Draft. Washington, Aug. 24.

The Ohjeet of the War. Mr. Spauldino, the Ropublican Member of Congress from the Buffalo district, :haa Been making a war speech since his return to his constituents. The Courier aaserta that he fita-ted, aa an inducement to men to volunteer, that the land of the rebels in the Southern States would in the end be seized and divided among the soldiers of the Federal army. The Express, Mr. Spaclding's organ, does not deny that such language was uttered by him, but justifies the sentiment and the policy it avows. The Express says: We should not regard it as a very dangerous proposition. We rather think it would be a popular doctrine to inculcate that "the boya" who fight the battles of this war and subjugate the rebellious territory should share- in the "spoils." . There is to be no peace without subjugation, and no subjugation tnithout extermination, under the spirit which now actuates the rebellion -and hence, when toe have exterminated Ihe rebels, their estates may as well be divided up among "the boys' who give us the victory, as to run to waste with no one to till and male them productive and useful. Are we to understand that the war we are now prosecuting professedly for the preservation of the Government and the enforcement of the laws, is to be converted by Mr. Spauld-inci and his Republican associates into a war of Subjugation, extermination and Pillage ? N. Y. Argus. Disloyalty in the Cabinet. The Government is still advancing, The speech of Cassius M. Clat finds an echo in the heart of more than one member of the Administration. Gen. Clay i the guest of of Secretary Chase, and ! helieve they both look at these questions with the same clear eye. JV. Y. Tribune. There is not a loyal citizen, North or South, who can endorse the sentiments publicly expressed by Cassius M. Clay a few days since, for they are inconsistent with the idea of loyalty. They avo w hostility to restoration' of the Government as it was. They look to the repudiation of the bond of Union. They, would tear into pieces the parchment upon which Constitution is written. They are but anoth er version of the words Of the bold traitor Wen hell Phillips, who cries, "in God's name let the Union be destroyed, and construct a new one out of the ruins." Yet the Tribune's Washington correspondent, who has the best opportunity to be correctly informed, tells us that these treasonable sentiments "find an echo in the heart of more than one member of the Administration" and that Secreta" ry Chase, who entertains Clat as his guest, 4'look8 at these questions with the same clear eye" . - ; In Other words, the Tribune would persuade the country that some mernbers of the Ad ministration, pledged to uphold the Union, de" sire that it should be destroyed that some of the highest officers of the Government who have sworn to support the Constitution,' repu" diate its obligations and would violate its let ter and spirit. While the country is looking with confi" dence to the President for a firm, Constitution al and patriotic policy, the Tribune is endeavoring to fix the brand of disunion and Abolitionism upon the members of his Cabinet !r X.

Douglas, has made & speech at Quincy, I1H' noie, the place of hisi residence. . It was in defence of his course ifi the Senate against partisan attacks. V, .;, :- - Mr, Browning explaiped his position' upon the confiscation question, and did it to the satisfaction and approval of a vast majority of those who heard him. He said thatCbn-gr ess had no power to confiscate property, and that confiscation existed anywhere, it existed in the President, by virtue of bis office as Commander-in-chief of our armies. The Constitution conferred no such power upon Congress, and he had sworn . to support the Confiscation Bill and the Constitution too, so he supported the Constitution and opposed confiscation." Upon this question he stood with the President. The same was true upou the question of arming the negroes. He was opposed to arming them, and so was the President. He was for the Union as it was and the Cou stitution as it is. In 'the utterance of these patriotic sentiments, Mr. Browning was enthusiastically applauded; There were a few persons present who did not join in these demonstrations of approval- : But they were open, avowed, ultra Abolitionists., Mr, Brownme denounced the Abolitionists in unmeasured terms. He denounced th? Abolition leaders in the -United States Senate naming Sumner, Wilson, and others as disloyal, traitors to the country, wild, deluded, crazy fanatics, who were bent upon the destruction of the Government. . He had no sympathy with them, and had refused to co-operate with them, and shoutft" continue to do so. He, had marked out his course and shonld pursue it. It mattered not that some of his old personal and political friends had turned against him he was for the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is, and upon that platform he intended to stand, - though every friend he had should desert him, and though every dollar's worth of property that he owned in the world should be sacrificed or destroyed. He was interrupted by an Abolitionist present; who charged him with having gone over to the iemacrat8. Mr. Browning responded that he was ready to goorer to the- Democrats, or to any other party, or to act with patriotic men to whatever party they 7 might belong, who were for the Union and the Constitution. Mr. B. then asked this brazen-faced Abolitionist if he would be willing to receive the South back into the Unionj with alt their constitutional rights, if the rebels would lay down their arms to-morrow? As might be expected, the crazy fanatio replied no he would not 1 he would not be willing to receive the South back unless they would first abolish slavery.' Mrr Browning said this was just as he Bupposed- these Abolitionists were not in favor of the Union and the Constitution, bht would sacri fice both, and bring the liberties of the people beyond the hope of resurrection, if they could but accomplish their wicked and traitorous designs. Another' Abolition fanatio wanted to know oTTIr. B. "-"hefeer he' woalvot-i-favorof emancipating the slaves if ha believed such emancipation would put an end to the war. "No, Birf said Mr. B. "I would not give such a vote, because I have sworn to support the Constitution. . Under. thatr Constitution we have no power to emancipate the slaves." At this point,' the Rev. Mr. King, who was ifi the audience, was heard to say that Mr Browning "is a traitor to his country." Mr. B. did not probably hear the remark, as he did not condescend to notice ft. Mr; Browning commented at considerable length upon the course of certain Abolition journals, that have devoted so much of their time and space to denunciations of our Generals in the field, and so little of their space to denunciations of the rebel commanders. Among these journals were the Chicago Tri bune and the Qaincy Whig. He was partlou-larlr -severe upon the editors of the Chicago Tnbune. He read an article from the- irittune. ami denounced it as the most infamous treason that had4 appeared in any paper published in the United States since the war began..": Of the editors of the Tribune he had a moet contemptible opinion. He did not believe them to be loyal, and, if they should take an oath to support the Government he -would not believe their oath. . As to tbe Quihcy Whig, he couldn't expect much from that source; it was incapable of uttering the truth about him. and had persistently misrepresented his position from the beginning. He read some extracts from the Whig to show that he had been out rageously misrepresented by that paper. In regard to the war, he was for its vigorous, energetic and successful prosecution. He told his Republican friends that they could not hope to bring the war to a successful issue if they made it a war for the negro. ' The Demo crats, he said, would not co-operate with them in a war of that sort. But confine it to its legitimate, rightful object let it continue to be, as it had been from the beginning, a war for the Constitutiqn aid the Uniqq, and the' Democrats would work , and fight shoulder to shoulder with the Republicans, indeed, all tbe patriots, of whatever party, would work to gether. Mr. crowning throughout was listened to with good attention and with great interest. During bis speech he wasr frequently inter rupted with the' enthusiastic applause by his audience. : ; - '.. How Greeley, of the Jfexr York Trihnae . Propose to Carry on the wajrr Philosopher Gexklxt, of the New..York Tribune, is, in his own estimation, a greater Qeneral than either McClellan or Halleck.

It is an old adage that with some people, a lie well stuck to ia better than the truth. . This seems to be the principle upon which the writers aud conductors of. the Republican pi ess of the State propose carrying on the present Campaign- Notwithstanding it has been denied and proved false repeatedly denied-and refuted by Mr. Vallandigham, both in Congress and out of it the Marion Unionist following in the wake of the Cincinnati Commercial, Gazette and &a?e Journal, and - other Abolition prints-contnues tc repeat the stale and threadbare charge that Mr. . Vallandigham, when the rebellion 1 first broke out, declared that no jroops going to fight the South should pass through" his District except Over his dead body.' A charge so silly, it wonld seem needs scarcely a passing notice, much lees a formal refutation ; but the Abolition press stick to it with such pertinacity that unless reminded occasionally of its utter falsity and superlative silliness they would not only learn themselves to believe it, dut might blind others with the same delusion. It will be remembered, with what pertinacity these same men continued to misrepresent the lamented Douglas, fox years after its falsity was proved to ' the world, in represented as saying, speaking for the South, and menacing the Jforth or, as the Abolition press had it, "assuming to be the champion of the slave Oligarchy" "we will subdue you" Falsehood, detraction and misrepresentation now as then seem to be the only stock in trade of these mendacious scribblers oi a mendacious and corrupt press. The inordinate abuBe and shameless persecution now so lavishly heaped upon the head of Mr. Vallandigham will not hurt in the least. It is the same kind of. warfare the Abolitionists made upon the gifted Douglas. No sooner did Douglas gain . prominence, and the people began to recognize bis genius and power and growing greatness, than instantly went up from valley and hilltop, the cry of "Douglas: the traitor" and every Abolition press orator, both. great and small, echoed andre-echoed it throughout the land. " And it will be r-membered L with whHt grim satisfaction . they were wont to place . his name thus: "Stephen ARNOLD Douglas;"! by which to associate him in the mind of the public with the traitor Arnold.". Nor will it be forgotten that for the exercise-of his right' and duty aa Senator, lie was presented with thirty three cent pieces, designed to cast reproach upon him bo com-j paring him with Judas Iscariot, who for thirty pieces of silver, betrayed his master." And-it will be remembered, too, with 'deep mortifi- i cation, that euuh was the bitter, revengeful, implacable feeling against this great and good man, at one period of his history and that of a party whicn then claimed to be theadvocates- "and specially appointed defenders of free speecch and a free press, and which now attempts to throttle one and destroy the other, that he was'ehablect to 'travel from Washing-ington , to Chicago by the light of his own : burning effigies. - , . - TL.. irf 11.1 11 - i. iSit.ii.T ,f mr,.- J heaped upon Mr. Vallandigham, and by the same Abolition disunionista who have been laboring for nineteen States out of the Union ; who, when Douglas and Vallandigham and all true patriots were rallying under the old flag of the Union, were carrying flags with only sixteen stars and "No Union with . Slaveholders" as its device, and who. to-day, if they dared, would carry the same flag. It was the Abolitionists then; who abused, v ill i-fied and persecuted Douglas; it is the same class who are nuw using the same species of abuse to break down. Yallandighaiq. Douglas lived to see his name honored and revered by all as a patriot; Vallandigham, if he lives much less time than usually alotted to a roan will live to see his name occupy . a similar niche in the pinnacle of fame, and the friends of -each will live to see the names of both honored with a happy and appropriate associ ation in history with. Jefferson and Jackson and other patriots who lired down the perse cutions of the Federalists" and Tories of their day, as-Pdug'tas did in his,' and- as Vallandigham will in his.; t-. ? : - All of these t men have met with the same vile vitupation and malicious detraction. The leading articles of the Abolition press abusive of Valiandicham " are but a reproduction of their articles in 1854, 1856 and 1800, on Douglas with his name stricken out land Vallandigham 's substituted in place of it. And these same articles on Douglas were but articles years before published on Gen. Jackson, the old hero's name being dropped and the young hero's being put in place of it. While they all find their origin in the old Federal and Tory editorials written against J efferson, such changes only made as to suit the different circumstances under which they are published. We could substantiate this proposition by numerous Jfacts and iucidents of history,, and show by an uninterrupted line of geheology that the Abolitionists of 18(J2 is not only a lineal but a full blooded descendant of the Tory Of 1776 or the Federalist of I860.

There are things that no man can pretend to fathom questions that depend on so many additional circUmstauces for their solution.- But there is one thing and one question that should be clear every mind. " It is this that if a war of this kind should be continued many years it is recognized as being allowable for other nations to come in in their strength and put an end to it, Better for the people ; themselves to pvit an end to it with as little delay as possible. It is not a scourge that has visited us alone: From the beginning of the world war have been nation against nation and often times the moat t(e.rr4ulc of ajl 'wars which is pot a war of nation against nation, but of brother against brother. How long is this to go on ? If it goes on what is to be the result of it, as affording a pretext for all the powers of Europe to combine to put an end to it 7 And, although I would not say that even then they should not be permitted to interfere, when they interfered through benevolence, and above all, when the sword might be put at rest, I do say to every man, if they do in ter-ere and if they interfere sqccessfuUy if tbe country and the government are not maintained by every sacrifice that is necessary to maintain them, then your United States will become a Poland then it will become divided then the strife will multiply across every border every State for every section will claim to be independent, and make itself an easy prey for those Tvbo will turn and appropriate the divisions Of the people of this country for their own advantage.

It is not cruel, this.-This is mercy, this is humanity. Anything that will put an end to this drenching with blood the whole surface of the cpuntry that will be humanity. Then, every man on the continent rich or poor will have to take his share in the contest. Then it will not be left to the gQvernmenrr whatever government : it will be, to plead with the people and call on them to come forward, and ask them if they would be drafted. .- " ' 1 ' - No, it is for ; them, the people, to rise and ask the government to draft them; and those who are wealthy and cannot go themselves can provide substitutes and bring the thing to a ciose, ii u ean oe aqne. no doubt the same efforts will be made on the other side and who. can blame them t For the sake pf hp man ity we " must": resort to some' course of the k:nd. In the meanwhile, beloved breth ren, it i3 enqugb for us tq weep for this calam ity, to pray to uod that it may be put to an end, to make sacrifice of everything that we have to sustain the independence, the unity, the perpetuity, the prosperity of the only government we acknowlelge in the world. But it is not iie-eseary to hate our enemies It is not neitcssarv to be cruel in battle, nor to be crue! a fi er it termination. It is necessary to be true to be patriotic, to do for the country what the country needs, and the blessings of God will, recompense tliose who discharge their duty without faltering, and without violating any of the laws of God or man. - . . . . - Garibaldi's Hew Movement. Garibaldi s movement has startled all Europe. Victor Emanuel, though eager enough to possess Rome, cannot afford to quarrel with France, and France still guarantees the inviolability of the Pope's temporalities. Neither does he care q provoke war with Austria just now for the possibility of getting Venetia. .He is sensible, on the other hand, of the debt of gratitude under which he is placed tq Garibal-bi, and when the latter began to call for recruits remonstrated ffhU hirn in vain. Jls then.- is-issued a counter proclamation , to Garibaldi's appeals, and warned the young men of Italy not to yield to the entreaties xt their intrepid but rash leader. These 6teps have been taken in vain.; Our dispatches contain reports of the operations pf Garibaldi in Sicily, of his speech declaring that Rome must be had, and in effect that he would tip as he . pleased with the united Italy he had made. "The. English and French papers unite in denouncing his course as" headlong and ill-timed.; " It certainly puts. Victor Emanuel in the awkward position of being obliged to" fight against big old friend and for his bitterest foes, should he adhere tq his determination to check the uprising. Should: he not interfere, France would not tolerate amcjkplj.efrrispnat- Rome, so if the Italian monarch wishes ever pp well in his - heart ' for. the 'success of Garibaldi, he could not venture tq give, him even ,the ..negative support pf Jetting him go on. .
