[TWOPENCE not appear too much like a defence of a particular clan of men ; if so, let it be remembered with how fierce an animosity they have been assailed. My principal object baa been to afford a truer basis for public judgment of this matter than has yet been commonly accepted. I cannot acquit the great merchants and landowners of Lancashire of an inadequate conception of the demands of this occasion.

Head-quarters, Army of the Potomac, Sept. 17 (via Frederick, Maryland, Sept. 1B). , . . . . . This bee been an eventful day in the history of the rebel lion. A battle bee taken place in which the army of the Potomac has again been victorious, and which exceeded in extent any battle heretofore fought oe this continent. At the dawn of day the battle was renewed on the centre and right by Hooker and Sumner, who, after a sharp eon_ tent of two hours, drays the enemy about one mile. The rebels rallied shortly afterwards, and, with terrible lom, regained most of ►he lost ground. At this time the (earlier sad indomitable Hooker received a shot in the aside, and wee carried from the held. The command of his troops now devolved upon Sumner. General Richardson, commediag a division, was severely wounded at the same time. Germs' Stunner, determined to take the lost ground, ordered the troops to abseils, which they did with a will, driving the enemy before them with greet slaughter. Paroled prisoners from Richmond say that troops continued to arrive from the South, but were sent thence as soon as possible. This is corroborated from other sources, leaving no doubt that the Con feder.ites were concentrating a large force in the Shenandoah Valley, with a centre military depart ment at Winchester, which is strongly fortified. TO•MORROW, October 3, the LONDON DINNLY will coedit of— Personally I deeply regret that the county did not more conspicuously put forth her own strength before accepting the aid which the liberality of England was so ready to bestow. Of the manufacturers as &clam, I doubt whether it is fair to speak till the end of the calamity is less dis tant. Like every other clam, there are brilliant exceptions of good and ill ; men who have already given evidence that they are willing to go any length in generosity, and men who have already made it too plain that neither the sight of suffering nor the sense of shame can touch their hearts. Between these extremes lie a vast number of manu facturers neither better nor worse than a similar number taken from any other class, who are dis ' charging an average of duty in a commonplace spirit, and whom greater needs may yet lift to a loftier height of sacrifice. Meanwhile, one thing at least is clear from the caution with which the Man chester Executive Committee distribute the large funds at their disposal, that the physical wants of the people are being supplied as far as is practicable and prudent.

TEN OVERDUE AFRICAN MAIL STEAMER CLruPATRA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNZISDAT. In order to contradict wine erroneous and un founded statements which have appeared in the public pipers, and which are lot calculated to allay th e unseal ems felt consequ en t on th e ace - arr i va l of the Cleopatra, we are enabled to offer the following explanation :—ln the paragraph which bas already appeared it is stated that when the ship Majestic left Bonny the Cleopatra was several days overdue at that place ; that the latest intelligence of the missing steamer is of ber sailing from Sierra Leone on the 11th of July • that ber detention must have occurred between Sierra Leone and Bonny ; that by the Majestic'. advice. the steamer had been 15 days out duce leaving the former po rt, though the die. twice is stated to be only th ree days ' steaming thence to Bonny. Now, we have ascertained the has to be, that the Cleopatra wee last heard of at Cape Palmas, 500 miler to I the southward of Siena Leone, where she was peened by the Athenian steamer on the 16th of Jul . From C a p e Palmas the Cleopatra would hav e t o to Cape Coast Castle. Acme, Isgos, Bevis, Nun, Bias., and theme to Bonny. The distance from Cape Palmas to &nay, round the ports enumerated, occupies eight instead of thane days' steam* ; and, including stoppages, is p er f orme d i n 12 days 7 boars. The ineopatra was due at Bonny at 4 Ls. oa the 26th Jul ; the Majestic left the bar a t B ossy at 8 p.m. on the 26tL, an d nut, as stated, os the 28th ; coasequeutly the sum and substance ,f ber intelligesae is, that the steamer was 16 boars overdue at Bonny, which might very well occur without occident. No actual intelligence, however, is looked for before the arrival of the next pocket, which is due here at 6 pas. co the 10th laden...

The loss here was considerable. The troops now hold both banks of the Creek. To get possession of the ridge of hips on the right and left band sides of the road from which the rebels were thundering away with artillery, was a task easily socomplialsed. Sykes' brigade, with the assistance of Sumner, carried the ridge en the right•hand side after considerable trouble and lass, the rebels running in all directions. It was now five o'clock, and all the enemy's positions bad been carried except the one on the left•haod side of the road. To do this Burnside was assigned. The artillery opened and the infantry advanced. The point was carried at a charge, but we were tweed to retire before a superior force. Knowing that if they lost this ridge a complete rout of their army would be the result, they fought with greet desperation. Da•kness Dow overtook the two armies, and hostilities ceased as though by mutual consent The battle lasted from five in the morning till seven at night without a moment's cessation. The conduct of all troops without exception was all that any general could wish. Several regiments of New York troops who were is notion for the lint time behaved admirably. Hundreds of Mary landers were present to witness the battle, which could be seen from many of the surrounding hills. The sharp rattle of 50,000 muskets, sad the thunder of 100 pieces of artillery, is not often witnessed. It is is.• possible at this writing to form any 001M9Ot idea of our loss or that of the enemy. It is heavy on both sides. Ours will probably reach in killed and wounded 10,000 ; that of the enemy will not exceed it. The enemy' s dead, which nearly all fell into our hands, were thickly strewn over the field, in many places lying is heaps. Our wounded were carried from the field, and the best possible attention given them. When General Hooker fell General M'Clellan immediately proceeded to the right, where he was enthusiastically recei►ed, and by his pre sence added much to our mamma in recovering the grated lost, sod be was in the centre and left, as well as anxiously watching the progress of the battle, sad giving directions as to the manner of attack.

Head-quarten, Army of the Potomac, Sept. 16, Via Frederick, Sept. 18. To the Associated Preen—During this afternoon informa tion was received at head-quarters showing that the army were recrossing the river, and concentrating their forces co the ridge of hills outside the tows of Sharpsburg, to within three miles of the main body of our army. Jackson left Harper's Ferry this morning. His troops commenced to arrive during the afternoon. When it became evident that Lee was disposed to engage our force in battle at this point, General M'Clellan sent for Franklin's corps and Crouch's division, who were about 7 miles distant on the other side of Elk Ridge. There was considerable artillery firing during the day on both sides, resulting in our having about 40 men killed and wounded. Major Arnedt, of the Ist New York Artillery, was struck in the side by a piece of shell. The disposition of the troops for the impending battle was aa follows :—General Sumner'a corps with General Banks' division, to occupy the centre General Hookee's corps, with the Pennsylvania reserves and Franklin's corps, on the right ; Generals Porter and Burt. side on the extreme left, with the view of turning the esemy's right flank. General Pleasonton supported the centre with 2,500 cavalry and 4 batteries. General Hooker in the afternoon crossed Antietam Creek, and took up a position on the hills facing Sharpsburg, and three miles to the right of Keeteville. His troops got into action about dusk. The battle lasted two hours, during which the enemy were driven about half a mile with coo. siderable loss. The Pennsylvania reserves, who were in frost, suffered much. The night was occupied in getting the troops in their respective positions, while ammunition trains and ambulances were forwarded to the different commands. Harrisburg, Sept. 18. The news received during last night indicate. that the result of yesterday's fight wu decidedly in our favour, but still another battle is necessary to determine who shall be the victor. It was expected that the battle would spin be resumed ibis morning, but no firing has bees beard, and it lamp posed that the burying oR the deed is the order of ilia day. General }rel•llan's heed-quarters are at Sharpsburg. Ser geon.GeneralSimith despatched especial train to Hagerstown yesterday, to attend to our wounded. The number of wounded in General Irelallan's recent battles is very large. Most of them will probably be brought into Peon sylvenia. The rebel prisoners taken have been sent to Fort Delamere. Information received here this morning direct from the battle-field represented that the battle would undoubtedly be resumed to-day, but up to this hour no firing had been heard at Hagerstown. The forces remain about in the Name positions u is yesterday's fight. Preparations are now being made here for receiving the sick and wounded from the late battle. Citizens are &axiom to do all in their power for the comfort of those who are fighting foe the support of the Federal government. Troops are still coming in by thoesaads, and are immediately forwarded, the government having complete control of the rood to Chambersburg and Hagerstown. Regular tube to these points were suspended to-day—they will be resumed ilia few days. Evening. Advisee juat received et beed•quarters from Hagers town confirm the report that no fight bad taken plees to-day, that the rebels ars 'Bonneted to be abort of aroma nition, and that the fight would probably commence at d►y break to-morrow.

Oar loss in killed and wounded was 50; the rebels acknowledged a lee of 700 on Sunday. A Louisville despatch say. : The military commenced fortifying the city yesterday. Negroes were impressed throwing up rifle pits and digging bevaatworks. There is nothing reliable from Mnrafordsville.

The following observations occur in the "Cotton Circular" of Meagre. Neill Brothers, dated October lit : " in their preseet position the Southern leaden would undoubtedly claim all the Border States—ran Maryland, Western Virginia, and Missouri. In these States slavery has long been dying out, and under the Milted Staten its days are numbered. The same may, in a leaser degree, be said el Kentucky. The loss of these States would leave the North a mere strip of country, between the vast areas of the Coefederaey co the South and Canada on the North, and ultimately reduce her to the position of a second. class power, even on her own continent. It is not to be supposed that her citizens will consent to this, unless when her strength is utterly broken down and exhausted, nor could any fraud of humanity deeire it. With their huge popu lation and immense rwources, it must be admitted Wen by those who smile at the pretension of one natioo to possess and goven an entire continent, that the Northern States owe it to themselves and to the MUM of free labour to maintain the lesdieg position in America. This they can only do by retaining every thing north lot 36.10, the old Missouri compromise line, except Eastern Virginia, which is so thoroughly Southern, that its adherence to the North need not be looked upon as a possibility. Aod this is go well understood by all intelligent men in the North, and, indeed, it is so self evident, that, when satisfied of the im passibility of reannexing the States which have actually seceded, there oan be little doubt that they will wage a war of years, if necessary, rather than concede a northern f roe tier. Were the South ready to accept this lion there might now be some hope of peace, But unfortunately the very disasters which might well be expected to bring one party to reason, so stimulate the pride and self-confidence of the other, that they will listen to no reasonable ar rangement." Tai GARIBALDI MIMING IN GYDZ-PARR.—The Working Man's Garibaldi Committee, which celled this meeting, have hissed • circular on Lb. subject, which shows that they took every reasonable precautioa spinet disorder, and did nothing to provoke interruption. They announce that they shall not hold a meeting next Sunday. They say :—" The committee have received numerous requaa dons from their fellow working men of the metropolis to call them together mein, to give them means of showing the Irish partisans of the Pope and of the French invader of Rome that English workingmen an not to be prevented from peaceably meeting in th eir own path to express freely their sympathy with the hero wbo now lies wounded and a prisoner, for his devotion to right and liberty, or to protest against the violation of the rights of a people who know better than the foreigner what government is best suited for them, without inflicting a severe punishment upon the dis turbers of the peace. The committee deem it their duty to call upon their friends to abstain from enytbiog which could lead to disorder, a nd,perhape toaocidents ever to be regretted. Let it not be forgotten that even the poor deluded, ignorant, and rough Irish friend of the Pope is a brother, since he is not enough of a man yet to understand that at a public meeting it is the duty of every one to peaceably ,come for ward and express his opinions, and to vote according to hi conscience and conviction ; let us working men of London show that we know better,' that we depend upon moral force and the justice of our cuss., sad not upon bludgeons and @tones." • COLLIERY NEAR Doses♦tr.—lntelli pece reached Durham early on Monday morning of as alarming fire having brokers oat in the shaft of Framweil pie Moor Gaiety, situate about • mile from that city, belonging to the Marchioisess of Londonderry.

Mr. Hall, the father of the young lady who was so tarbareselr murdered at Fordiugbridge is Joao lust, did a few days suss. Few things can be more difficult than to form even an approximate estimate of what the mill owners have done, except to compare it, when it is formed, with what they might have done. In every district the local relief funds have to a large extent been contributed by them. Many men undertake to supply the wants of their own bands, and execute the task in a liberal spirit. It is im possible to calculate the amount of money weekly spent in supplying cooked food, either from the millowner's residence, or from a kitchen extempo rised at the factory. And some allowance ought to be made for the fact (which I am afraid that your readers will hardly credit) that manufacturers are not indiscriminately wealthy, and that the form of their wealth is often very ill-adapted to meet an emergency like this. There are men, we all know, of almost fabulous wealth : for the present let them go. The great mass of millowners are emphatically small men. A parliamentary return, which has been carefully aaalyeed by a friend, whose name, were I able to make it known, would lend great authority to the statement, estimates the number of cotton operatives in the United Kingdom at 451,596, working in 2,987 mills. The average number of workpeople, then, in each mill is no more than 161 —a result which, when we recollect the number of factories in every prosperous district employing from 400 to 2,000 hands, reveals the existence of an unsuspected mass of small and probably needy tradesmen. And then a millowner's property is of a peculiarly ostentatious kind, and passes itself off upon the public for more than it really is. People see a huge factory filled with costly machinery ; they watch the gates vomit forth at noon and night hundreds of workpeople; they know that a large sum must necessarily be paid in weekly wages, and they not unnaturally jump to the conclusion that one whose production is so large and so costly most necessarily be a rich man. But the moment the engine stops, mill and machinery cease to represent wealth—they are only then a great safe where money is locked up, and where it cannot be got at till trade revives, while all the time rent, and rates and taxes, and interest of money may be flying away with fatal rapidity. And many men—more by far than would readily be supposed—have absolutely no property but the mill and machinery, and the supply of floating capital needed to work them. There is a strange tendency among men who are manufac turers and nothing else, to build a new mill the moment the profits of an old one begin to accumu late in their hands, as if they knew of no other use or investment for money. And it would be easy to point to scores of such, who have pushed the policy of extension up to or even beyond the limit of safety ; who do not possess a railway share or a yard of land beyond what house and mill stand on, or a hundred pounds in the funds, and who may be absolutely dependent upon their banker or their agent for advances of the necessary capital. For such men to assume the responsi bilities of wealth, even in the holiest cause of charity, is simply to cheat their creditors. laA ma.... 41•••• 1.41. e• I .h.ll ••• of trade during the past year, and to attempt to dispose of the vexed question, whether manufac turers have ever worked their mills at a loss, for the sole motive of providing work and wages for the people. I have alreaely recorded my opinion, that no man has done so much to stay the progress of this distress as the millowner who has been able to keep the social condition of the inhabitants of his own town or villagt as near as possible on the old level ; and if the wise audacity which enabled him to do this has redounded to the benefit of himself and the operatives alike, it is but one proof the more that the interests of different classes of society cannot be permanently dissociated. All that I at present contend for is, that the public subscription list ought not to be taken as the test of a man's liberality. No one can live for a week in any part of the distressed district, without discerning the utter fallaciousness of such a procedure. I assert, without fear of con tradiction, that the best men, those who take the most liberal view of their obligations, and dis charge them in the moat faithful spirit, are among those who have not inscribed their names upon any list of subscriptions which has met the public eye. Cases occur to me, as I write, of men who, under taking the entire charge of from one to five thousand people, and daily accomplishing their task with a completeness which the best managed relief board might envy, are perhaps at this very moment branded by hasty and uncharitable critics as traitors to the commonest instincts of humanity. Were I able to publish names, I could at this moment relate two instances of firms who, having foreseen the coming disaster, bad laid in heavy stocks of cotton, on which six months ago they might each have realised a profit of some 20,0001., but who deliberately preferred to keep their mills open and the workpeople employed. Except to themselves, and to the few who may be familiar with the circumstances, their conduct goes for nothing, and they may even be twitted with a keener than common regard to their own interests. Can it be doubted that if they had sold the cotton, closed the mills, and each placed 5,0001. to the credit of the relief fund, England would have rung with the praises of so signal a philanthropy ? Many bitter and scornful words have been written of the dilatoriness of the millowners, who are wait ing to interpose their aid at some crisis not yet in view, or when some grand comprehensive scheme of action supersedes the present tentative system of relief. If, indeed, there be any such, I willingly deliver them up to the general contempt and anger. Any man who can wait till hunger becomes atar vation, and raggedness is developed into nakedness, deserves to feel the ills which be is so slow to re medy. But I have already said that I consider the only true plan to be that of providing for the wants of each week as they arise, and that the immediate creation of an enormous fund would be a folly not uufnught with danger. The men who are suh scribing week by week a fixed sum to the relief of local distress, at which they have assessed them selves, or which has been imposed upon them by common consent, have a perfect answer to those who demand of them a single munifi cent gift. In this sense, the " waiting " policy is both prudent and right. A man who adopts it, in effect, says, " I will give to meet this difficulty, not one or five hundred pounds, but a touch as may be required, as long as I am able to pay it." Oboe more, the wise and genuine fibers , lity is not that which makes the moat showy figure in the subscription list. 1 Ido not know whether what I have written may THE LANCASHIRE RELIEF FUND.
