A N IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The -CA- "Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony. ur der mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together w ith ample instructions for removing its effects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S " SELF-PRESERVATION," Physical Debility, of which the 90th Edition has just been published by Mann and Co., 39, Cornhill, London, price le., sent nost free for 13, or in a sealed envelope for 20 stamps rr.L x'MEnT, M.D. Rm., havingfor 20 years devoted himself enti, eiy to this branch of practice, may be consulted daily, either personally or by correspondence, at hie residence, No 37, BEDFORD -SQUARE.

President, by virtue of his position as Commander in -chief, had during a rebellion not only the right to declare the existence of martial law anywhere in the loyal States, but actually to delegate the power to subordinates, I should have looked upon my in formant as a fit subject for the investigating power of a Ccurt of Chancery as to his lunacy. And yet to-day both these strange circumstances exist. The President lays claim to this tremendous power. . . Heaven preserve us if this be so!" For this and other mild thunder Mr. Walt was arrested. Mr. Olden, the Governor of New Jersey, not feel ing satisfied on the matter. is reported to have tele graphed to the President to know the charges pre ferred against the prisoner. The reply in one word was " Treason." The Governor, still more dissa tisfied, sent a second telegram to Mr. Lincoln, dec laringg► that the arrest or incarceration of any citizen of New Jersey, a State not under martial law, un less upon the usual affidavits and the hearing of the case in the ordinary way before the ordinary tribu nals, was illegal; and that, if necessary, he should feel it his duty to call out the whole of the State militia to prevent the execution of the order. And so the matter rests. If Mr. Olden has done as re ported, and has courage enough to abide by his work, the Government will yield the point, and after a week's incarceration Mr. Wall will be re leased with a reprimand. But even the Americans —so ready to sacrifice their liberties for the sake of an unreal and valueless if not impossible Union— must confess, if passion will allow them to think, that if the expressian of such sentiments be trea son, law and liberty in the Federal States are at an end, and that a man might just as well live in Venice or Warsaw as in Jersey or New York, or. any city of the North. The statesmen of Wash ington do not attempt a precise definition of the crime which they punish ; but it becomes clearer every day that treason in a Repub lican is not the same thing as treason in a Demo crat, nor in a rich man as in a poor one. It is treason to discourage enlistments if the speaker be, like Colonel Wali, a member of the great but tem porarily defeated party that elected all the Presi dents prior to Mr. Lincoln; but it is not treason able to discourage enlistments if the offender voted for Mr. Lincoln, or if he be a supporter of the Re publican party in his State, city, or district. Last week a rich Democrat and a rich Republican were arrested by the over-officious police and sent to prison without trial for treason overheard by spies and informers. The Republican was discharged, with a warning by telegraphic order from Washing ton. The Democrat remains in custody. The Republican expressed distrust of Mr. Lincoln be cause he would not abolish slavery. The Democrat expressed distrust of the Government because it had interfered with slavery, and notably because it had abolished that institution; in the district of Co lumbia. To be a Disunionist is a crime in every body except in those who are the greatest of Dis unionists, and who, by their agitation of the slavery question for five and twenty years, produced that hatred and estrangement in the South which in their turn produced secession. " Better," says Mr. Casius M. Clay, " to recognise the Confederacy at once, and stop the effusion of blood, than have a restoration of the Union as it was." That is to say, a restoration of the Union guaranteeing the right of the Southern States to hold their slaves. Mr. Clay, who spoke more treason than the poor shot and shell manufacturer, has been intrusted with a command in the Federal army, and has not been sent to a police dungeon or to Fort Lafayette. Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, said in the Senate, " I much more desire to see slavery exterminated than I do to see the Union restored." And he, though a Disunionist, and consequently guilty of treason, has not been introduced to the Provost- Marshal. Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts, Mr. Wendell Phillips, and others of the same school, speak Disunionism every day of their lives, and no Provost-Marshal's myrmidon ever taps them on the shoulder; while for the offence, that ought to be considered no offence at all in a free country, of denouncing the Corruption and incapacity of the Government, Mr. Ingersoll being a Democrat, has been consigned to prison by military authority with out form of law, detained there for nearly a week, and then discharged with a caution--to bring his action for false imprisonment against the Provost- Marshal at some future time, if he have courage and patriotism to risk so much on behalf of his country. But the President only punishes his political ad versaries. His friends are allowed to say what they please. Besides, he avows himself to be both a Dis unionist and a revolutionist, and cannot well punish his friends for agreeing with him. The right of any State to hold slaves is part of the Union and the Constitution, which Mr. Lincoln has sworn to up hold. Were a majority of the people of New York and Pennsylvania, leg ally convened for the purpose, to decree that slavery should be re-established in those States, Mr. Lincoln would have no right to interpose or object, but would be bound by oath to respect the decision and enforce it. But in his let- ter to Mr. H. Greeley he says, "If I could save the Union by destroying the rights of all the States, I would do it ; and if I could save it by destroying the tights of some, and leaving others alone, I would also do that." Had a Democrat loader made such a declaration with respect to the undoubted rights of any Northern State, or declared that for the sake of the Union he would extend slavery as readily as he would abolish it. there can be little doubt that he would not be allowed a second opportunity to say or write such " treason," but that he would be safely cabined in Fort Lafayette at a day's notice, to con sort with hundreds of similar unfortunates who pine in that prison on charges of which they do not know the nature, which may be utterly unfounded, or which have been preferred against them in secret by persons whose names they are not permitted to discover. And if a Government of lawyers (for Mr.L Are all Mr. Seward, Mr. Stanton, and Air. Chase are upon attorneys) cannot define treason, nor agree g for those incoln, any certain form of impartial punishmen t sa rprised at who may be guilty of it, no one canoben eral Butler ' the rough-and-ready mode which ti a new compe virhic_handedness has adopts in New Orleans, and ' titor for the distinction of stroll: f St. Louis, 1,400 General Scho field, adopted in the luckless cipl pi. miles higher up the Mississippi• the district, has is field, the Military Governor of or tribute of 600,000 sued an order assessing southern sympathizers, dole. upon Secessionists,.te city and county of St. and other " traitors" t gl o b e collected without delay, Louis.

It is allc ,, ed that there are in that State no less than 15,000 members of an organization call- ing itself " The Golden Circle," and of which every member or " knight " takes an oath on being initi ated, which binds him to resist such encroachments on the public liberty as the incarceration of people in forts or bastiles without trial, and on the un- supported testimony of spies an d i n f ormers. It is furthermore stated that the organization is widely extended throughout the North and West ; that members are to be found even in Massachusetts; and that, happen what may in the conduct or fortune THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1862. THE STRUGGLE IN VIRGINIA (From the New York tribune.) We propose in this article to elucidate the receni conflicts in Virginia to the extent of our present in formation. Strategically, the State of Virginia may be re garded in three unequal divisions or districts :- 1. West Virginia, lying westward and south westward of the crests of the Allegheny mountains, which traverse the state from north-east to south west in an unbroken chain, rising from 2,000 to 4,000 feet above the ocean level, and of course no where perpetually snow-covered or impassable, though the-roads which cross them are narrow and bad, two or three great turnpikes excepted. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad crosses them at this end of the state, and is held by the Unionists, nearly all the other railroads, whereby the state is amply gridironed, are (save for a few miles around Wash ington) in the hands of the traitors, West Virginia is almost unanimously freo labour and loyal, and is held by the Unionists. Little fighting has been done there for months, and it is presumed nearly bare of troops. The rebels predominate in the ex treme south-west of it. 2. The Valley of Virginia, so called, is deep, very fertile, and from 40 to 80 miles wide, lying between the crests of the Alleghanies and the Blue Ridge, which runs parallel to them on the south-east. This valley is traversed by the Shenandoah rive, „ • ich rises south and west of the centre of the s and pursues a generally north-east course to its i c with the Potomac at Harper's Ferry, 40 miles north west of Washington city. Winchester, Strasburg, Woodstock, Harrisonburg, and Staunton are the principal places in the Valley. The Blue Ridge is lower and smaller than the Alleghanies (holding much the same relation to them as the Jura to the Alps), and is broken by repeated " Gaps," through one of which the Manassas Gap Railroad makes its way into the valley (which it connects with Alex andria) at Front Royal, which is near the junction of the two principal branches of the Shenandoah, some twenty-five miles above Winchester and fifty from Harper's Ferry. The white inhabi tants of the valley are mainly secessionists, and the valley above Front Royal was mostly in their possession prior to the events of last week. We presume that they now hold everything south of Winchester, and may have that city. 3. Eastern Virginia consists of the residue of the State (all south-east of the Blue Ridge), being about half the area, and probably containing a little more than half the entire population. Its railroads mainly centre upon Richmond (the rebel capital), though ono from Leesburg, a few miles north of Washing ton, and another from the south-west, reach the Potomac at Alexandria. The Manassas Gap Rail road diverges from the latter at Manassas Junction, 30 miles south of west of Washington city, runs westwardly through the Gap into the valley, and so to Strasburg, whence it follows up the north fork of the Shenandoah, and comes to a stand at Mount Jackson, half way between Woodstock and Harri sonburg, which are the capitals respectively of the counties of Shenandoah and Rockingham, mainly settled by Germans of a very old emigration, and famous for always voting solid for whatever is called the democratic ticket. 4. The Rappahannock Rives rises in the Blue Ridge, but a few miles from the south fork of the Shenandoah, and pursues an easterly course to Fredericksburg, some 60 miles south-south-west of Washington city, where it is within 10 miles of the Potomac. It has here become a broad navigable stream, though its extreme sources are hardly 80 miles distant. From Fredericksburg it has a gene ral south-east course till it is lost in Chesapeake Bay, some 25 miles below the mouth of the Poto mac. For the present its course below Fredericks burg is commanded by the Union gunboats, but above that city it becomes disputable, and has for months in good part divided the Union from the rebel forces. It naturally forks towards its source into innumerable streams and rivulets, but at first some 10 miles above Fredericksburg, into two main branches, whereof that coming from the north-west retains the name of Rappahannock, while that from the south-west is known as the Rapidan. 5. When Gen. Halleck, after Gen. M'Clellan's change of base to the James River, was called to the command-in-chief of the Union armies, it appears to have been resolved that General M'Clellan's army must be withdrawn from the peninsula, and united with the Union army then covering Washington on the south and west. General Pope, also from the west, has just before been called to the command of this latter force, known as " the army of Virginia," in contradistinction from General M'Clellan's, still awkwardly designated " the army of the Potomac." General M'Clellan is understood not to have con curred in the advisability of evacuating the penin sula, wishing to be reinforced where he was, and to move thence upon Richmond once more. He was finally overruled ; but his opposition is said to have delayed the commencement and retarded the sso fi huf n ol6h a au. 1 llsbydm When la e eoht : wee effected trtuhemi evacuate tyt we some s attsihpointedl e holdst t o e n F daysortFortress es a Some on - conclusion of his return t o th e P o t omac , w hi c h was Yorktown s go Ai and n S r o o t . p c i e d n e i decided s u t h l a a t G G e e n n e e r r a a l 1 r * M c : p e e l e was pushed fo rwar d i nto the heart of Eastern Virginia, to make a diversion in his favour. To this end, his cavalry made repeated and damaging dashes at the railroad connecting Richmond with Gordonsvill e an important railroad junction, nea r l y 1 00 mile; north-west, while the bulk of Pope's army—then some 50,000 strong—advanced down the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, which, running south westwardly, connects Alexandria, via Gordonsville and Charlottesville, with Lynchburg in the far south-west--of course, crossing both the Rappahan nock and the Rapidan. Pope also crossed both these streams, and was reported at one time to have occupied Gordonsville, but the subordinate charged with that movement failed to execute it. 7. Pope's advance, as was calculated, distracted he rebel attention from M'Clellan's retreat down the peninsula, and collected their forces in his front. Being soon out-numbered, he was ordered to fall back, and did so. The bloody but inde cisive battle of " Cedar Mountain" was fought be tween the advance of the two armies respectively, just north of the Rapidan, on August 9. Jackson soon after retreated across the Rapidan, probably to tempt Pope further from his resources. After some days' desultory skirmishing, Pope fell back across the Rappahannock, and stood at bay, guard ing the innumerable fords of that river, along a line of 20 or 30 miles. The position was, of course, ad vantageous to the defensive party, but liable to be broken through by massing a heavy force at either of a score of points, and breaking the defensive line by a resolute effort. Still, though the enemy (having ordered u;3rtto piercemup everythin g f ro m Ri c h mon d) were serious io undoubtedlys effort General the stron ge r p i e n , s nl line b w e r a s s stood n made. While he thu s on guard, a rebel cavalry force under Stuart, s ome 1 ,000 to 1,200 in o number, pierced his lines at some unguarded ford and ma d e a circuit in his roar, surprising his head quarter'sCatlett's Station at on the evening of the 22d, and making a considerable haul of his papers, with some money and prisoners. Stuart was, of ' Popes quarters by traitors Re was him self at the front, twelve miles distant, With most of his staff, of whom but one was capt ured. 8. For some days an ominous stillne ss prevailed Rappahannock, N on the rebel side of the . o more invited from th at side. or artillery duels were side. Few men showed t h e mselves to What our expe c t ant forces. " Where are the rebels . . are the about y ?" were the wondering qu eries. They that were soon to be answered, and current expectation the traitor chiefs would not await the rapid con.. centration of our new levies at Washington W as not to be disappointed. August 24th, 9. Early on Sunday morning, Stonewall Jackson, with some 30 or 40 thousand trusted veterans in the lightest matching order, without tents or waggons save for ammunition, left the rebel lines south of the Rappahannock and • moved westward, unknown to and unsuspected by Pope. Winding his way among the • sources of the Rappahannock in the Blue Ridge, by roads unknown to our side, he • turned the right flank of our army, and, emerging unperceived at Thoroughfare Gap, about half way between Manassas Junction and Front Royal, his advance, consisting of Stuart's cavalry, swooped down upon our depot of provisions, clothing, stores, &c., at Nanassas, like a hawk among a brood of chickens. The small force guarding that point was soon dispersed or captured, and our heavy stores were appropriated so far as possible and the rest destroyed. R a il roa d tra i ns convey i ng prov i s i ons and munitions t o P o p e and b ring i ng back wounded, sick, empty cars, &c., were captured and destroyed ; those in charge o f th em runn i ng i n t o th o j aws o f the wolf while un suspect i ng any danger. 10. The capt ure o f t h e j unct i on was soon k nown in Washingt on , a nd t h e Ist New j ersey b r i ga d e, under General T ay l or, sent down to rec tify matters, no one suspecti ng th at there was anything more serious than another cavalry dash at our lines of communication. But by this time, a considerable , force of rebel infantry and artillery had come up, and General Taylor's brigade and trimmings were sent to the right about with little ceremony, and with e loss of several hundred prisoners, who were 'paroled as soon as possible. And still the junc tion, hardly 30 miles from Washington, and nearly so far in the rear of General Pope, was firmly held by the rebels, who challenged all comers. 11. Thus far, General Pope would seem to have been completely circumvented. It was nearly Wednesday morning before he knew a word of the nice business going on in his rear. When he did learn it, he appears to have acted with a judgment and decision of which our army movements hitherto have evinced a plentiful lack. Instead of sending back a brigade to re-open his communica tion, he at once divined that this was no mere cavalry raid on his stores, but a daring if not desperate attempt to isolate him and fall with crushing weight on some part of our forces, pre. liminary to a bold push upon Washington or Bal timore. So he promptly faced about and started from Warrenton and its vicinity with his whole force—now swelled by reinforcements to some 60,000 or 70,000—determined to know what all this meant. He marched in three columns by parallel roads. His central column under Hooker (Pope himself with it) first en countered a rebel force that afternoon at Kettle Run, a few miles below Manassas, and pushed it back, killing and wounding 300 of them. Pushing on to Manassas next morning (Thursday), Pope found that place had been evacuated three hours before Mr. Stonewall Jackson, who had moved to Centreville (north) and thence westward up Bull Run—doubtless to avoid a conflict with superior forces and form a speedier junction with the re- mainder of the rebel army, which was more slowly following on his devious way from the south side of the Rappahannock. M'Dowell and Sigel's corps followed and overtook him, and a fight ensued with a general advantage to our side, which was only terminated by darkness. Jackson held his ground with desperate tenacity, knowing that a disorderly retreat was destruction, while the bulk of General Lee's army must be coming rapidly to his rescue. We took 1,000 prisoners. 12. Friday morning, General Pope concentrated his forees and pushed on after Jackson, who by this time had been heavily reinforced by the rebel main army_ A desperate battle ensued, partly on the Bull Run battle-ground of last year, our troops this time approaching it from the south. The Unionists had the best of it, holding the battle ground at dark, though with a loss of eight thou- sand killed and wounded. General Pope estimates the rebel loss at twice that number. We were the assailants throughout. 13. The next morning (Saturday) the positions were reversed. The rebel grand army—estimated at two hundred thousand in all—had now nearly or quite all come up, and they, being much the stronger party, assumed the offensive. They gained ground upon us during the day. At night General Pope's headquarters were at Cen treville, to which strong position his whole army had fallen back in good order, and where he had just been joined by Franklin's corps, while Sumner's was well on the way to him. (These are among the best portions of the late army of the Peninsula.) The two parties had gradually swung round during these terrible conflicts, so that our army is once more in communication with Wash- ington, while_the rebels probably hold the posi, tions west and south of Bull Run. Pope unques tionably is in a position of such strength that he can defy the enemy till he is so reinforced that he can again assume the offensive, while, in the meantime, he is already so strong that they will not venture to leave him in their rear for any advance toward the Northern Potomac. NEW TAXES IN THE UNITED STA7ES (Fiona the New Fork Herald, Sept. 1.) To-day begins a new era of this country. To-day the national tax law goes into operation. Beyond a few vocal and State taxes, which were felt by none but owners of real estate, this country has never been taxed before. lire have jogged along quietly and comfortably, and have amused ourselves greatly by laughing at the over-taxed people of England, where a man is taxed from the cradle to the grave ; where light, heat, and water are taxed, and where not only every rich man, but even the poorest pea sant, is obliged to pay largely for the privilege of existence and the blessings of bad govern ment. Now, however, the laugh is to be on the other side. We, too, are to pay taxes, and it be hoves us to remember the great object for which they arc imposed, and to bear them with a good grace. Taxes are a very bitter medicine ; but if well taken, the benefits they will confer upon the nation are incalculable. A heavy tax is one of the necessities of this war. Hitherto we have paid our war debts with paper money, or promises to pay, and now these promises to pay must be redeemed. There are very few sorts of business that will escape taxation, and the in come tax roaches all classes of our citizens, except those who do not earn over 600 cols. a year. Even these poorer classes will be indirectly taxed by the rise in the prices of all kinds of articles, from clothes to patent medicines. In general terms, then, the tax may be said to include every person, and no one can avoid being affected and influenced by it. Already our gas companies have notified their customers that 15 per cent. will be added to their bills to meet the tax. This measure has excited much grumbling and dissatisfaction, but it is perfectly fair and legal. The principle that the consumer pays the tax is equitable, be cause the shoemaker makes UP the tax that he pays for gas by raising the price of his boots and shoes; the tailor who buys boots and shoes rai~sca the price of clothing ;the merchant who buys clothing raises the price of his goods ; and so, all being at once consumers and t uanufcturers, the tax comes equally upon all. Persons with fixed salaries will feel the tax - most, and Pay the most taxes. The effect of ele tax will be to dee pen public sen timent. The people will be l ess ready to excuse the mistakes of our Government and Our generals, and the administration will either be i mmensely p o p u l ar or unpopular iu exact proportion to is merits. The war will be better conducted, f ur e very man, having the war, will to pay his m o ney towards carrying on insist and assist that it shall be prop erly prosecuted and speedily and gloriously concluded. G rea t er economy will become necessary both in national and Personal affairs. The people will n ow sea that a Government contract job is a swindle upon each one of them personally, and that robbing the national treasury is precisely equivalent to picking every citizen's pocket. This knowledge will make the public less careless in the selection of officials, and less inclined to overlook or forget any official cor ruption. Thus the taxes will reform' the Govetvh ment by reforming the ,people. The necessities ,OT personal economy will make the people terribly in, earnest in regard to national economy, and ex tremely sensitive in regard to the utterances of the press, which professes to be the organ of the people. When people who now wear several coats a-year can 'afford only one or two; when ladies who now wear half a dozen silk dresses a-year get along nicely with one, and ladies who have one get along nicely with muslins; when people who now have a dozen dishes for dinner can afford but simple fare; whenihotels are compelled to give more comfort and less luxury ; when restaurants are obliged' to cut down their bills of fare; when those who now ride in cars and stages prefer to walk; and when those who roll in their own carriages patronise the cars and stages; when fine ladies reduce both the size and the number of their bonnets, and adorn them selves more with nature's roses and less with jewels and laces; when persons who now reside in large houses move into smaller ones ; when persons who now live in palatial mansions exchange brown stone and marble for plain brick—then every man, woman, and child will have a personal interest in the government and in the yak and we may be assured that the government will be more respected and better administered, and the war more ener getically and vigorously conducted. None value a thing so much as they who pay dearly for it. We have no doubt, then, that the effect of taxa tion will be most beneficial to the national character and the national welfare. The Americans are a very adaptive people, and very seldom quarrel with circumstances, greatly preferring to make the best of what cannot be avoided. To the astonishment of all Europe we have begged to be taxed, and now we shall astonish Europe still more by paying our taxes as readily and supporting them as easily and turning them to our own advantage as speedily as if we had never known what immunity from taxation was, or as if we accepted the tax as a special blessing, even though it be a blessing in disguise. CIVIL LIBERI Y IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, SEPT. 1. While this war of blood is raging in the South and the South-West, and in most of the Border States, it is not unprofitable to turn from the hor rors of the battlefield to contemplate that other war, of a different description, which is raging through the North, a war of the Government struggling for its existence, and which it not only wages against the South, but against its own citizens and every principle of liberty on which the Republic was based. The tiovernment, weak one day and strong the next, sees "treason" everywhere, and runs blindly against it to crash it if possible, and, if not, to punish it. Jesting Pilate asked what was " Truth ?" The Northern people, who are in no jesting mood, nor likely to be for many years, are seriously asking their Government what is " Treason ?" Every day the offence increases, yet none of the smart lawyers in the Cabinet seem to be able to define it. It is treason to discourage enlistments. It is treason in a journeyman painter to say that Mr. Lincoln is a "humbug," but it is not treason in a highly accomplished orator and profound thinker to say that the Pre sident is a " tortoise"—a man without a backbone, and utterly incompetent. It is treason to say that Stonewall Jackson is a far Letter general than Pope or Halleck. It is treason to say that the Govern ment is corrupt, and the public debt oppressive. It is treason to say that the habeas corpus ought not to be suspended. But it is not treason to say that " the Union is a league with death and a covenant with hell ;" that slavery ought to bo abolished in South Carolina, without the consent of the People of that State ; and that union, merely for the sake of union, is preferable to liberty of speech and ac tion—preferable to unindebtedness, preferable to prosperity public and private, preferable to every social blessing for which men have been accustomed to strive since the dawn of civilisation. But among all the charges of treason upon which people have been lately torn from their homes and business and consigned to the horrors of police dungeons, or the more dignified miseries of Forts Lafayette or War ren, by the authority of the Government, the one upon which a working mechanic named Marx was arrested in this city last Saturday is the most sur prising. If the Society of friends in England is not aroused to sufficient activity to memorialise the Go vernment for his release, or to send a deputation to Washington to remonstrate with Mr. Lincoln, all that can be said is that peace in Russia and peace in America are not equally dear to the followers of George Fox, or the believers in John Bright. Marx was employed in a shot and shell manufactory, and being, of course, quite familiar with the deadly na ture of the articles he compounded and constructed, exclaimed to a comrade as he saw a squad of fine fellows, in their new uniforms, marching down Broadway, the drums beating, the star-spangled banner floating proudly over their heads, &c., and the admiring women and little boys surveying the brave spectacle, " There goes another lot of d-- fools to be shot." He was overheard by a policeman, arrested for treason, carried before the Provost Marshal, and by that awful func tionary detained in prison till Mr. Stanton or Mr. Seward shall decide his future fate. Marx scorned to deny his words, but added, more in explanation than in vindication, that he only spoke the common opinion of the shop. Bating the oath, which Mr. Bright would probably not employ, there was nothing in the poor workman's opinion, backed as it was by his professional experience, that that eminent statesman would not have approved, and which he did not frequently express when his country was engaged in the Russian war. It is to be hoped, if this little incident reach his ears, and if his views upon war, the military art, and the construction of shot and shell, remain unchanged, that he will admit that it is safer to say in England that a soldier and raw recruit is a fool, than to say so either with or without a profane past participle in America. This case of Alarx is sufficient to prove that trea son is a very vague as well as elastic charge in the present temper of the Northern Government and people ; but, bad as it is, that of the ten persons —brokers, merchants, and others, in Wall-street, arrested for organising a joint-stock association for procuring substitutes for enlistment, is still worse. Though these persons were imprisoned on an ex post facto law, though one—if not two—of them had actually subscribed large sums to favour enlist ments, and was known as a rabid patriot, eager for the sanguinary prosecution of the war—he and his companions have fared alike, and have all been consigned t o F or t L a f ayette. The case o f C o lonel James W. W a ll , o f N ew J ersey, is qu i te as signi ficant.

An inquisition is on foot to detect the real objects of the order, which some say are purel, y masonic and charitable, but which others allege to be entirely political and Se cessionist. Why the association should flourish so vigorously in Illinois a nd the West, and be so little known in New York arid the Atlantic seaboard, is not stated; but if the Government will only be so obliging as to arrest .a few prominent people on the charg e of belonging no it, there .:',s little doubt that it will increase and prosper even in this city. The suggestiveness of its title in a land whence golden and silver circles the tangible shape of coin of the realm have disappeared, to make room for bank notes, value 5 cents, has .a tendency to increase its popularity ;:for, after all, the Knights of the Golden Circle may be but currency philosophers, who have assumed this title to ;show their want of faith in in convertible paper. Not being in their seerers, I cannot say ; but, us the Government is making a perquisition, Mr. Chase might as well take the op- • portunity to inquire whether the particular treason of which the knights are guilty is not aimed exclu sively against his department. Wall-street was greatly excite d yesterday, but the premium on gold advanced no more than 1 per neat. The cessation of hostilities since Saturday, betokening exhaustion on both sides, is interpreted as more favourable to the Federals than to the Confederates, and has led to a quieter feeling. It is believed that the Confederates cannot be reinforced, that they have put forth their whole strength, and will stand or fall by what they have got; whereas the Federals receive reinforce ments every hour. But the number of such re inforcements is neither known nor stated, and may not be so large as Wall-street hopes and believes. 711 E INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Yesterday, at a meeting of the Royal Commis sioners, held at Earl Granville's house, the question as to the day of closing was finally settled, the date fixed, as we intimated it would be, being Saturday, the Ist of November next. The contractors tried hard to get this date extended to the 15th or 18th of November ; but, for the reasons we have already laid before our readers as to the objections of the northern countries to a late date, the Royal Com missioners were obliged to decline this proposal. - - The public, we think, will agree that they have acted wisely in so doing. The Ist of November is a fair limit to the existence of any display in this country which depends for its support on the daily receipts from holiday visitors. To prolong it into the dreary days of November, when the sun only comes at rare intervals to apologise for the general absence of daylight, when it is scarcely light before 10, and often dark soon after 3 o'clock, would have been to court a failure—a gradual flicker.. ing out of popularity that would have been abso lutely hurtful to the success of future displays of the same kind. October, perhaps, as not being included in the theory of our summer, is not un frequently the finest month in the year. Through this the Exhibition ought to pass well and pro fitably, and if the public ceremonial which is to close its existence is only managed with suffi cient spirit, the Ist of November may, without much trouble, be made a greater suc cess as a spectacle than even the Ist of May. No date was ever named for the closing be yond that implied by the limitation of the admission of five-guinea season tickets to the Horti cultural Gardens to the 18th of October, and, had everything gone on as well as could be wished, there is no doubt that about that time the building would have been shut with a public ceremonial. Now, however, we believe it is known, with as much certainty as calculations for the future can ever ascertain a fact, that if the Exhibition ended on the 18th of October it would leave considerable deficit to be met by the guarantors. If kept open till the Ist of November, this deficiency will be much re ' duced ; but a deficiency of some £20,000, or perhaps £25,000, is likely to exist even then. It is this estimated loss which the contractors have offered to make good, in order that the guarantors may not be called upon for a single farthing. The terms of the agreement between the Commissioners and Messrs. Kelk and Lucas are, that the contractors receive £200,000 when the building is finished, and all moneys taken at the doors between £400,000 and 1:500,000—an additional 1:100,000, in fact, upon the payment of which they are bound to part with the building and all connected with it for £130,000 more. There are what may be termed auxiliary clauses as to the purchase of the picture galleries, but these do not affect the main features of the agreement, which are as we have stated. As the matter now stands, the Commissioners have taken very nearly £lOO,OOO, and the time is close at hand when Messrs. Kelk and Lucas will be entitled to the receipts in payment of their third £lOO,OOO. But if they claim this repayment of money which they have disbursed, it is certain that the guaran tors would have to meet such a deficit as we have intimated, which would amount to a call of nearly 6 per cent. on their subscription. To their credit, however, Messrs. Kelk and Lucas have at once stated that their first desire is to shield the guaran tors from being called upon for anything, and hav e virtually offered to give to the Commissioners out of their third £lOO,OOO whatever sum may b e ne cessary to hold the guarantors harmless. The libe rality of this offer needs no comment. It s actual terms will, w e believe, be mad e pu b l i c in a day or two i bu to malicious mi s - statement of those who h ave a sserted that the cont rac t ors were opposed to th e b u ilding remainin g open, and that it was i n answer t t the h e fact of the o ff er i tself is a sufficient conseq uence of their d emanding the fulfilment of their agreement that the guarantors would have to meet a deficit. The week that has just terminated has been far less productive than its predecessor to the exchequer of the Royal Commissioners, and, in fact, has been one of those very few weeks when the returns have failed to keep pace with those for the same period in 1851. The total numbers for each day on both occasions are as follows : 1851. 1862. Monday (Is.) •• • • 56,852 .... 51,024 Tuesday (Is.) •• • • 58,015 .. , . 54,292 'ednesday (LBO •• • • 50,106 .... 42,710 Thursday (Is,) ... • 54,827 .„ . 54,191 Friday (2s. 6 c 1 .) •• .. 17,957 .. 21,451 Saturday (28.6 d.) .... 1 6,273 .... 16,612 T0ta1.... 254 , 030 240,250 The last w ee k , we believe, is on ly th e f ourth since th e opening when the numbers have not much exceeded those for the corresponding period in 1851. Even, however, when, as in these cases, the returns of visitors have been lower, the actual receipts arising from the head-money paid by the refresh.. meat contractors, &c., have more than made up the difference. On the whole, therefore, the money taken at this Exhibition is certain largely to ex ceed the receipts of the last, though on the present occasion there is a most formidable set-off against these receipts in the greatly increased expense of the building. THE THREE STUTTERERS.—A gentleman afflicted with an impediment in his speech sat down to a crowded dinner table at a public hotel ; and calling to a servant, ad dressed him thus :—" We•w-waiter, gi-give me s-s-some r-r-roast h-b-beef." The waiter stammered out in reply-- " W-w-we a.a-ant g-g-got a-a•-any."
