COBBETT and CO., General House Furnishers, Deptford bridge, London, S.E. the report, and, adverting to the enormous price that was paid by the citizens for gas, he expressed his opinion that if some comprehensive scheme were adopted for disposin g of sewage, it would yield sufficient to relieve the amount they paid f or the article referred to. the th© citizens from (Hear.) He said he thought that it was very objec tionable to entrust such a matter to the hands of any company, and the proper course to be taken was to endeavour to induce the Government to interfere. (Hear.) Deputy ELLIOTT said that he also considered the report and the resolution agreed to by the committee were most satisfactory, as it was char that they knew too little of the subject at the present time to justify them in coming to any conclusion. (Hear.) He therefore thought that the committee had ar rived at a sound conclusion that it was not advisable to do anything at the present moment, because, if action was taken, more harm than good might be the result. (Hear.) He fully concurred in the views that had been expressed, that the best course was that the sewage manure should be used with mode ration, and said that this was instanced by the great cattle show that took place yearly, where the over feeding of cattle was proved to produce disease. He expected that those practically acquainted with the subject knew that this was the fact, and the over manuring of the land would, in accordance with the laws of nature, produce precisely the same result. (Hear.) Although, however, he agreed generally with the report of the committee, he must at the same time express his opinion that the calculations as to the value of the sewage were fallacious, and that they might just as well estimate the value of the coals contained in the earth at 25s per ton,with out taking into consideration the great expense of raising them, as to suppose that the sewage manure was equal to the value of Peruvian guano at £l3 12s 6d per ton. In point of fact, all that cou!d be calculated upon was a royalty of perhaps is or 18d per ton, and the calculation that the sewage would produce, as stated, 2 or 3 millions sterling, was.quite unreasonable. He admitted, however, that it was of very great value and importance, and he trusted the result of delay would be the adoption of some satisfactory scheme to render it available for the purpose for which it Was no doubt applicable. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LAWLEY contended that the committee were quite justified in the statement they had made as to the value of the sewage manure, and said that an eminent engineer had given his opinion that it could be moved to the requisite height at an expense of one farthing per ton, and that another farthing would pay all the cost of the buildings that would be required—and the court would remember that si hen once it was raised it would fall to the places it was required by its own gravitation. (Hear, hear.) He deprecated the proposed scheme of the Metro politan Board of Works, and said that this body, probably writhing under the rebuke administered to it by Lord Robert Montagu, the chairman of the committee of the House of Commons, that they ought to have done more, had suddenly rushed to a conclusion that these quicksands should have the benefit of a sewage, and that neither:the Parliament nor the ratepayers of the metropolis who were so deeply interested in the matter, should say a word upon the subject. (Hear.) The report of the com mittee asked them to endeavour to prevent this suicidal act, and if they only succeeded in obtain ing delay, that would be something general at all events. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PEDLER said he thought it not advisable to enter into a conflict with any other body, as it was calculatd to divert them from the real question. Their object was to prevent this valuable matter from being wasted in an unprofitable process, and he hoped they should succeed in effecting that ob jest. (Hear, hear.) He then went into some in teresting scientific details showing the extreme importance of applying the sewage manure in mo derate quantities, and to the great benefit that was likely to result from it to the whole community. Alderman RosE, M.P., said he thought the Court was very much indebted to the last speaker for the information he had afforded it, and said that there could not be the least doubt of the very great value of the sewage manure. What they wanted to do, therefore, was to prevent a certain body that had already taxed the ratepayers of the metropolis to the extent of seven millions from spending two or three millions more in carrying out a chimerical scheme which could not by any possibility be attended with any good effect. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to him that the course p-oposed by the committee of call ing the attention of the Government to what was proposed to be done, and regain the ratepayers, would have the effect of preventing the project from being carried out, and he should therefore support the motion of the hon. deputy. Mr 11, LOWMAN TAYLOR, one of the representa tives of the City at the M e t r opolitan Board of Works, said he really hardly understood what was the ob ject of the present meeting, or whether it was to endeavour to delay the settlement of the question and prevent it from being disposed of until the matter had been further considered by the Government or by a committee of the House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) If this, then, was the object of the meeting, he would at once say that he cordially concurred in it, and although he was one of the members of the Metropolitan Board of Works, he would at the same time express his opinion that this question was much more likely to be settled in a manner that was satis• factory to the public and the ratepayers of the me tropolis by a committee of the House of Commons than by the body to which he had referred. He was bound, however, to express his opinion that there was a large amount of independence to be found among the members of the Metropolitan Board of Works, o an d that they were m os t anx i ous to do their duty. He wouldof one n of t th s e offici a l s o f t h a t b oar d, it w as not th e say anything with regard to the cone duct p l a ce to do so, but it ce r t a i n l y w as a question whe ther the conduct of that official was satisfactory to t h e public. (Hear, hear.) With reg ard to what was suppo sed to be the int ent i on o f t h e M e tropolitan Board in reference to this matter, he saw that there was a motion by one of the members that a certain plan should be carried out ; but he believed the Board were quite free on the matter, and that it had not all bound itself to adopt any particular scheme. (Hear, hear.) -in would add that he be lieved they were most desirous to do what was best in the interest of the public, and that they would pay every attention to any representation that might be made to them by the Court of Common Council or any other public body. Mr Taylor concluded by stating that when the subject came on for discussion at the Metropolitan Board he should do all in his power to obtain delay. (Hear, hear.) Mr NORRIS, M.P., expressed his opinion that the proper course to be taken was to endeavour to obtain a Royal Commission to consider the subject, and he said that if the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was very muoh interested in the question, as being one intimately connected with taxation, was applied to, he would no doubt advise her Majesty to grant a Royal Commission for such a purpose. Mr J. E, SAUNDERS supported the report, and said he hoped the Metropolitan Board of Works would pause before they carried out such a scheme as the one proposed. He also said that in his opinion the suggestion of the hon. member for Abingdon was a very important one, and that they ought to endeavour to obtain a Royal Commission to inquire into the subject. After a few words from Deputy Bone in reply, The motion was put and carried unanimously. Mr LAWLEY then moved, " That the committee should be instructed to take the necessary steps to obtain a Royal Commission." This led to some discussion, and Mr. RICHARDSON observed in the course of it that in his opinion a question of such importance had been played with too long, and said he was glad that the Corporation of London had at length come for• vistd, and he hoped the joblleriee that had been bo long going on in reference to the question would be put an end to, but he thought this could only be effected by having a Royal Commission. The COMMON SERGEANT, who was appealed to in the course of the debate, expressed his opinion that it would not be prudent for the Corporation to ap ply to the Government to issue a Royal Commission, as they Led no power to control the scope of such a commission, and the result might be to materially affect the principle of local self-government. Mr Lawley upon this withdrew his motion; and another resolution, empowering the committee to confer with the Government, and to take any other steps they might deem advisable in the matter, was agreed to, after which the Court adjourned. Smithfield Club Cattle Show for 1864. On Saturday the whole:of the materials and fittings which occupied the grand area of the Agricultural Hall, at Isling ton, during the late Industrial Exhibition, were removed, and a large number of workmen were employed in the pre • parations necessary to render the building available for the purposes of the ensuing Christmas Cattle Show of the Smithfield Club. It has been already stated that the probable effect of the large increase made by the club in the number and amount of the prizes to be awarded would be to produce a larger number of entries than on previous occasions, and the re turns of such entries proved this to be the case, notwith standing the fact that the great provincial cattle shows of Darlington and Liverpool take place concurrently with that of the Smithfield this year, viz., the 6th, 7th, Bth, and 9th December. The number of entries this year in the cattle classes are 261 as against 243 last year. For sheep entries there are 112 pens of three and 76 single specimens, as against 89 pens of three, and 65 single pens, in 1863. For pigs the entries are 51 peas of three, and 25 single pens, against 3Y pens of three, and 19 single specimens of porkers last year; the gross being 545 this year of pens and animals against 453 last year. The gross number of animals entered for this year are—Beasts 281, sheep 412, pigs 178—total 871. At the show of 1863 the number of beasts was 243, sheep 332, pigs, 130—total 705, being a gross increase this year of 166 animals as compared with last year's show. Amongst the specimens in the sheep classes there are some entries made of the particular descriptions of cross breeds so much lauded by Mr Disraeli at the late Buckinghamshire agricultural dinner, and which has led to so much contro versy among breeders and others. The whole of the spaces in the New Arcade leading to Islington-green have been disposed of, and will be chiefly occupied by carriage manu facturers wad patent harness makers, affording a very at tractive and novel feature Utilisation of Metropolitan Sewage. A special Court of Common Council of the City of London was holden on Saturday, at the Mansion House, for the parpose of taking into consideration a report of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee of the Corporation upon the subject of the utilisa tion of the sewage of the metropolis, the matter having been referred to them upon the requisition of a public meeting of the inhabitants of the City. The LORD MAYOR presided, for the first time since his installation into that office, and he pre- faced the proceedings by making a few observations expressive of the satisfaction he felt at being ap.. pointed, through the suffrages of his fellow citizens, to the proud position he occupied. He at the same time expressed a hope that he should receive the same kindness and consideration that had ever been accorded to his predecessors in preserving order and decorum during debates in the Court, (Hear, hear.) The report that was the subject of the meeting has already been made public. It was to the effect that the committee, fully aware of the importance of the subject, not only to the ratepayers, but to all classes of the community, had attentively considered it in all its bearings, and had been favoured with the assistance and advice of Lord Robert Montagu, M.P., and Dr. Brady, M.P., both of whom bad acted as chairmen of committees of the House of Commons upon the utilisation of metropolitan sewage, and they had collected all the information is their power, and the result they had arrived at upon the present state of knowledge of the subject, was that nothing should be done at present ; but fur ther and thorough investigation should be instituted without further delay, either by the sanction of Parliament or of the Imperial Government. Mr Deputy BONE, the chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, in moving that the report be agreed to, said that he should not have taken upon himself, on behalf of the committee, to cause the Court to be assembled on the present occasion, but it was considered absolutely necessary to do so on account of the course which it was believed was about to be undertaken by the Metropolitan Board of Works. He believed it was contemplated by that body either on Monday or Tuesday next, to decide upon some plan for the use of the metropolitan sewage ; and the committee, having regard to the facts disclosed before the committees of the House of Commons, and the extreme importance of the sub jest not only to the ratepayers of the City, but to those of the whole metropolis, felt that there was not sufficient data to act upon, and that more infer,. mation should be obtained before any decision was arrived at upon so important a subject. (Hear.) With this view the committee felt it to be their duty to make the present report without any delay ; and he trusted that, for the reasons he had stated, it would be agreed to by the Court. (Hear, hear,) Mr H. A. ISAACS seconded the motion, and in doing so he said there could be no doubt of the importance and value of the sewage of the metropolis; and he thought that no scheme for disposing of it ought to be carried out that did not promise to obtain the full value of the commodity. (Hear, hear.) Accord ing to the evidence giving before the committee of the House of Commons, it would seem that there were two systems by which it was proposed to get rid of the sewage of the metropolis, one of which was to put en enormous quantity upon a small portion of land, and the other to spread it mo derately over a large portion; and he thought there could be no doubt that the latter was the course that ought to be adopted. (Hear, hear.) He believed, however, that the plan proposed to be carried out by the Metropolitan Board of Works was to endeavour to reclaim about 12,000 acres of sand on the shores of the German Ocean by deposit ing an enormous quantity of the sewage at that spot, and that was to be done in conjunction with a company who were to receive 7k per cent. interest, and any additional profit that might be derived from the operation was to be divided between the company and the Metropolitan Board of Works. It seemed to him that this plan was one that was not likely to succeed, and that, instead of its treating the sewage as an article of great value and import. ante, it treated it as a thing to be got rid of. (Hear.) He then went into some details to show the value of town sewage when applied to land in moderate quantities, and said he believed that if the question underwent further consideration some plan would be devised by which the utilisation of the sewage of the metropolis might be made the means of great bencfit to the country, and relieve very materially the over-taxed ratepayers of the metropolis, at the same time converting what was at present a nuisance into a blessing. (Hear, hear.) Mr HARRIS expressed himself satisfied with the tone of the report, and said he hoped it would tend to a satisfactory result, and he was only surprised that, looking at the admitted value of town sewage, something had not been done long before. (Hear.) He thought there could be no doubt that the prin. ciple to be adopted was to apply the sewage to land with moderation, and all who knew anything of the subject wore aware that if manure was applied to grass in very large quantities that the effect was the grass was so rank that cattle would not eat it. Mr 11, N. PRILIFT3 acid ho cordially agreed with LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE AND GREAT EASTERN JUNCTION. Application is to be made next session for power to make a line of railway to connect the Lancashire and Yorkshire and Great Eastern systems. It is to commence at Long Stanton, Cambridge, and terminate by a junction with the Askerne branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire. Branches are also proposed with other railways at or near Somersham, Ramsey, Peterborough, Bourn, Sleaford, Lincoln, &c. This project, which will, no doubt, be stoutly opposed by the Great Northern, is to be promoted at the joint expenses of the Lancashire and k Yorkshire and Great Eastern Com panies. NORTH-EASTERN. This company have given notice to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session to construct a railway between Pelaw and the Tyne Docks, to extend the Team Valley Railway, and to construct railways in Rosedale and at Pilmoor and Rillington. Also for the amalgamation of the Cleveland Railway with the North-Eastern, and to make certain small branches. Powers to construct a central station at Leeds, on the south side of the present Wellington station of the Midland Railway. They will also apply for powers to make a line from the Leeds and Selby, near Leeds, to a point on the Midland line, giving access to the proposed central station. NORTH-EASTERN AND WEST HARTLEPOOL. It is'stated that a provisional agreement has been con cluded for the amalgamation of the West Hartlepool Har bour and Railway Compa n y' s undertaking with that of the North-Eastern Railway Compa n y , and application is to be made in the ensuing Session of Parliament for an Act to carry tho eamo into effect, ELY, HADDENRAM, AND SUTTON. This company proposes to app l y to Parliament next Ses sion for p ,, wers to construct an extension to St. Ives. It i s proposed to apply for powers to authorize tho Urea Eastotu Company to contribute to the cost, TENDR.ING HUNDRED. The construction of this company's extension from the llythe and East-street, Colchester, to St. Botolph's, in the heart of that town, is to be proceeded with, and is expected to be completed by the Ist of May, 1865. IPSWICH AND FELIXTOW. It is proposed to unite Felixtow with the East Suffolk line of the Great Eastern, on the east side of the Wester field station. SWANSEA AND THE NORTH. Me London and Nurtb.-Western Railway Covauy VICTORIAN. The total receipts on the Victorian Government railways from the Ist of January to the 4th of August, on 196 miles in operation, amounted to £2.91,411, against £269,757 for the corresponding period of 1863, showing an increase of £21,684. TAY BRIDGE AND DUNDEE UNION. It is proposed to construct a high-level bridge across tho estuary of the Tay, between the coasts of Fife and Forfar, a little above the harbour of Dundee ; and by the construe.. tion of a line connecting the Fife end of the bridge Dundee would be brought into direct communication with the North British Railway at Ferry Port-en-Craig. The second p• r tion of the scheme would connect the high-level bridge with the several existing railways in Dundee, and,provicie for a general passenger station, with approaches from the cast, west, and north of the town. By the above project the town of Dundee would be placed upon a main line from England to the north of Scotland, instead of being served by branches. The direct railway communication north and south would be completed by the construction of the projected high level bridge across the Forth, which, it appears, has the support of the North British and Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Companies. INDIAN TRAMWAY. The report of the directors states that there can be but one feeling, of regret, that the exertions of the directors, the cooperation of the shareholders, and the support of the local governments of India, which, if uninterrupted, would have secured the early completion of a light railway in each of the presidencies, should have been neutralised by the recent determination of the Secretary of State, in opposition to the earnest recommendation of the local authorities, that the varying characteristics of the several lines in India should be ignored, that one uniform rule should be applied to all, and that the precise terms accorded to the Branch Railway Company should not be departed from under any circum. stances. The shareholders, under the advicA of the board, at once declined to undertake any new work until the result of the Arconum line in Madras should furnish authentic data for their guidance, and decided to limit the capital o the company to £100 . ,000, and their operations to this single line. The board have therefore directed their endeavours to the early completion and substantial construction of the line, connecting Arconum on the Madras Railway with Conje veram, about 17 miles, and expect its opening on an early date. The sanction to commence was only obtained by the chairman in January last, and engines were running on a portion of the line a inlAugust. The bridges for the rivers Cortilear and Pulloor were despatched in June, dnd the masonry will be ready by the time they arrive. The cost of these bridges will be reimbursed by the Madras Govern ment, who, with their officers, have afforded every facility and rendered all the assistance in their power to promote the undertaking. The report of the engineers, Sir C. Fox and Mr G. Berkley, states that the earthworks are com pleted for a length of 12 miles from Arconum junction, and the permanent way laid for a length of six miles, upon which two of the company's locomotives are daily engaged in ballasting. A temporary staging has been erected across the Cortilear river, pending the completion of the permanent bridge. Granite of excellent quality is being used for this and other works, which will be of a thoroughly substantial character. The works at the Arconum junction station and at Pulloor are also in a forward state. bOO coolies are em ployed upon the line. From a statement of the probable traffic on festival days, it was thought advisable to recom mend that a fourth locomotive and some ironworks for waggons available for third-class passengers should be sent out as soon as possible. The capital account to the 30th of September shows that £57,483 had been received and £47,526 expended, leaving a balance of £9,957. Naval and Military Intelligence. The division at Aldershot, under tha command of Lieut.- Gen. Sir J. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., paraded on Claycart- ridge at half-past 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning, for field movements, and, after marching past, proceeded to the westward, and formed in order of battle. The D Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, with the 14th Hussars, formed the advance line, covered by skirmishers of the latter regi ment, and the Royal Dragoons and the Scots Greys formed the second line. The three() brigades of infantry ad vanced in parallel columns at quarter-distance, end at deploying distance, ccvertd by skirmishers. A Battery of Royal Artillery, accompanied two brigades. The two lines of cavalry advanced at a trot, skirmishers were re. called, and the 14th Hussars made a demonstration, then retired by troops from the left, and re-formed in rear of the Heavy Brigade. The Royal Dragoons and the Scots Greys advanced at a gallop, retired, and re-formed in the rear of the 14th, when they again advanced in line. The division now changed half right, deplcyed into line, and tho Royal Artillery and skirmishers opened fire, Ihe brigades again advanced ty open column of regiment from the right, changed position half left, and proceeded to the westward, the skirmishers as they advanced maintaining a steady fire for a considerable distance. Brigadier Hawley's brigade, which formed the left, advanced upon Long-hill, his left rp.ting 11 "- 1 47-copse, and Major-General Russell advanced upon Cooked Hat-wooa, whihiecame the centre of attack. The 75th Regiment, on arriving at the edgo of ;he wood, delivered a volley, which was succeeded by a file from the whole brigade. While these movements were in progress Brigadier Grey, with the Ist Infantry Brigade, advanced upon Belmore- hill, which, atter a severe engage ment, was taken and occupied by our troops. The guns of the Royal Artillery were brought to bear upon the foe from its summit. Brigadier Hawley's Brigade also came into action on the left of General Russell, and kept up a well sustained fire. The cavalry advanced in support of Gen: Russell and Brigadier Hawley. s' Cease firing" was sounded, and the skirmishers again advanced, the 2d bat talion 60th Rifles covering the whole of the left brigade. The infantry soon became warmly engaged again, and the cavalry, accompanied by the Royal Horse Artillery, were observed converging upon the scene of action to the right of Cocked Hat-wood. The infantry then ceased firing, the skirmishers again advanced, and a regiment of Brigadier Grey's brigade dashing up a high hill carried the position and occupied it. At this juncture, however, the enemy showed in very strong force, and the lieut.-gen. determined upon a retreat. The artillery and light troops were brought into requisition to cover the retrograde movement, while the brigades retired in line. The cavalry covered the Ist brigade, • ' • " and the infantry fell back in admirable order to the vicinity of Claycart-bridgo. The troops then broke off to quarters. During the past week the division at Aldershot has been exercised in route marching, to the benefit of all branches of the service. Assist.-Commissary-General E. B. Fonblanque, having assumed charge of the commissariat department at Alder shot, is taken on the strength of the division. Colonel A. J. Taylor, Inspector-General of Artillery, has been inspecting during the past week the men of the Coast Brigade of Royal Artillery stationed at Colchester, Harwich, and Landguard Fort. Deputy-Assist.-Superintendent of Stores J. Baoon has been appointed storekeeper at Harwich, in the room of Assist,-Superintendent of stores F. 11. Glien, who has re ceived another appointment. The Marlborough, 121, screw three-decker, 4,000 tons, 800 horse power of engines, Capt. Charles Fellowes, late flagship of the Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, arrived at Spithead on Saturday under steam, coming up to the anchorage by the western or Needles passage. On an choring the customary salutes were exchanged between the Marlborough and the flagship of Port Admiral Sir Michael . Seymour, G.C.8., the Victory, lying in Portsmouth har bour. The Marlborough sailed from Malta on the 13th October, and from Gibraltar on the 23d, calli n g in at Vigo to coal on the sth inst. She ex perienced head winds through. out the greater portion of the voyage. She has brought home upwards of 100 invalided and time-expired soldiers, with three women and several children, under charge of Lieut. Winter, of the 2nd battalion 7th Foot, and also a number of seamen and marines, invalided and time-expired men, from her Majesty's ships in the Mediterranean, with Mesdames Berry, Irvine, Sadler, and Avery, from Malta. The Marl borough will be officially inspected at Spithead to-day, and will afterwards go into Portsmouth harbour to dismantle and pay out of commission.

" Good by, Wilmington I" is the uncomplimen tary ejaculation of a Southern journal in making known to its readers that President Davis has ap pointed Gen. Bragg to the chief command in that city. " Good bye, Wilmington I" is the derisive echo of Mr Lincoln's friends and supporters, who are all anxiously awaiting to hear before Tuesday next that Admiral Porter has captured it. As yet, how ever, it is not positively known whether the expedia tion has started, or whether the altered state of cir cumstances before Petersburg and Richmond, where Grant needs reinforcements and cannot obtain them, may not have led to the postponement or abandon ment of the design. If there be not a victory at Wile mington before the Bth inst., to what quarter can Mr Lincoln look for the military success which is to detach democratic votes from his competitor, con firm hesitating Republicans in their allegiance, and rally to his side the large body of waverers or neu trals who have not decided whether they shall vote for either of the candidates. An effort was made by Gen. Grant on Thursday last to revive the rapidly fading prestige of his name, and help forward the electioneering business of his friend and patron, by a new flank movement against the Confederate capi-. tal. But he found no door open—not even a key hole that he could look through. Gem Lee was as fully armed and ready at the threatened point as he had been at every other; and Gen. Grant after "feeling" the enemy (much more severely than he expected) deemed it inexpedient to risk the lives of his troops against the odds presented, and finally withdrew under cover of the night to his old posi tion. The general impression is that the campaign virtually closed with this unsuccessful movement, only differing from the various other attempts of the kind which Grant has made since May last in being attended with the unavailing slaughter of hundreds of men instead of thousands. The situation in the Shenandoah Valley does not promise any results more likely to act favourably for Mr Lincoln. Gen. Sherman lost 7,000 men in the obstinate battles of the 19th ult., was so crippled as to be unable to follow up his partial success, and acts at this moment strictly on the defensive. He in no way threatens the Con federates, but guards the valley as well as he can, lest Generals Longstreet and Early should resume offensive demonstrations against Washington. The truth as regards General Sherman on the (router urinous borders of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi is not so easy to ascertain, but it looks as if Gen. Hood had enticed him from Atlanta, drawn him on a wild-goose chase towards Chatta nooga, cut him off from his base of supplies, and left Gen. Beauragard to pounce upon Atlanta at the favourable moment, and compel the surrender of the scanty garrison left to hold it under Gen. Slocum. The Missourian invasion under Gen. Price is one day reported to be at an end, and the next to be growing in dimensions. Tne General himself is variously placed by the telegraphic operators and news' manufacturers of the West, in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and the Indian territory. Some represent him to be laden with plunder, and in com mand of an effective force of 30,000 men. Others declare that he is " whipped," " played out," " done gone," and frying. for life at the head of a shattered and demoralised remnant of his force ; and that to punish the Missourians for the aid and comfort they afforded him, a reign of terror, worse than that which afflicted Kentucky under Generals Payne and Ilnrbridge, end which atm continues to weigh heavily upon it, under the sin gle, but remorseless, hand of the latter, is to be in augurated in Missouri under General Rosecrans. Wherever Gen. Price may be, and whatever the successes he has attained, or the ulterior objects at which' he aims, the immediate effect of his opera- ions has been to create a favourable diversion for ,he Confederate cause, to prevent the reinforcement of Gen. Sherman, to shake the Federal authority in Missouri, and to cover the State with bands of desperate guerillas who will do their best or worst to make it uninhabitable to all but secret or avowed Confederates. These things, however, are little considered in the North at this moment. The Presidential election on the Bth inst., or, more properly speaking, the elec tion of the body of electors, who in their turn are to choose a President and Vice-President, distracts popular attention from the war. The capture of Richmond or Wilmington, or the total rout of the army of Beauregard and Hood, would probably quicken their sluggish interest, but nothing short of either of these events seems to be potent enough to divert their thoughts from the great issue to be tried next Tuesday. The" war Christians," Messrs. Cheever and Beecher, preach political sermons every Sunday evening, and inculcate from their pulpits the re-election of Mr Lincoln. The un feminine Anna Dickinson lectures on the strategy of Gen. M'Clellan, and prays that the war may last 50 years if the rebels cannot be sooner exterminated, As the day of election draws near each party at tempts fraud, raises scandalous accusations against the other, vilifies, ridicules, misrepresents, and libels its opponents, and affects a horror at unfair prec. tins, which it never feels except when it becomes the victim instead of the perpetrator of the wrong• Outdoor meetings and indoor meetings are every where held, at which the speakers employ the most unadorned if not the most naked eloquence, and bespatter the rival candidates with improper epithets. The temper of the people becomes hourly more explosive. In ordinary times they are too thoroughly engrossed in money making to care much for public affairs. They can endure the grossest invasions of their rights by the mill.. tarp " jacks in office" of a Government which they can displace by their votes at the legally appointed time ; they can see without any very violent indignation the suppression of newspapers and the arrest and incarceration of suspected and it may be innocent persons—they can wink at the perpetration of the grossest frauds upon the Go vernment, but, in times like these, they cannot en• dare that their political opponents should tamper with the popular vote, or win the Presidential election by unfair means. The frauds in Indiana show, by what has been done, what may be done again. The manufacture of military votes in Maryland, and by which alone the tree Constitution for:the immediate abolition of slavery in that State, without compen sation to the slaveowners, was carried in opposition to the wishes of the citizens, marks one danger that threatens American liberty. The proclamation of General Dix, the military commandant in the New York division, who by one stroke of his pen has annulled the constitutional authority of Gover nor Seymour, and taken it upon himself to protect the freedom of election on the Canadian frontier, which he has no more legal or constitutional right to do than he would have to protect the polling booths of London or Westminster by files of Federal soldiers, shows how reckless the Administration has become. It Would seem from the gratuitous char acter of this insult to the State of New York that the Federal Government seeks an opportunity to provoke a collision with Governor Seymour; that it desired a pretext, to place the State under the PRICF ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. operation of martial law before the election, in order by military manipulation of the polling places to make out a majority for Mr Lincoln ; and that if the election were left entirely free it would probably in the whole State, and most certainly in the city of New York, be cast for Gen. M'Clellan. Whether in American parlance Governor Seymour have back bone enough to resist this invasion of the rights of his office remains to be proved, In the matter of the alleged manufacture of military votes by the Democratic party he has taken a stand against the Federal Government to which neither foe nor friend can reasonably object. If the New York Democrats manufactured or attempted to forge such votes or balloting papers to aid the election of Gen. M'Clellan, which they may or may not have done, Mr Seymour insists that the offence must be legally proved; that, if proved, it is an offence against the State.of New York; that the laws of New York are sufficient to punish the perpetrators, and will do so ; and that the interference of the Federal Government is not alone uncalled for, but illegal. The Governor of Kentucky, in actual presence of the military in• timidation which Governor Seymour deprecates, but has not yet fully experienced, takes higher ground, or, at least, speaks out with greater boldness. Mr Bramlette, a Union man, and not a Secessionist, though probably his sympathies are not wholly alienated from the South, proclaims to his people, that having been appealed to in his official capacity to know whether there was to be a free election in Kentucky, he has decided that to the best of his power and resources it shall be wholly free, and that the military shall not take part in it in any way whatever except as unarmed citizens. "In elections," he says, " there are no soldiers, only citizens." "If, therefore," he adds, " any military officer shall show himself so regardless of duty as to assume to direct or control the officer of election, you must treat such orders with indignant contempt, and scorn the obedience which would imply perjury or cowardice in you." . . . "No officer of any rank, from the President downwards, has any right to interfere with an election. No order to do so can legalise the act." . . . . "If there be sufficient power in the citizens present at any place where such interference may be attempted to arrest the offenders and hold them over to answer the violated laws, it will be the duty of the Sheriff to make the arrest." This is the bare truth, plainly put, but does not meet the difficulty. Suppose the Sheriff and the people are in the minority—that the military force has the upper hand, as it has in the greater part of Ken tucky, what is there to be done by the people ? Governor Bramlette recommends that no election at all should take place under the circumstances, but that the offenders shall be indicted before the grand jury. Possibly Mr. Lincoln would not ob ject to this mode of procedure. It would deprive his opponent of votes, the gratd jury would find their true bill in vain, and martial law and mili tary necessity would be declared by an obsequious Supreme Court, with Mr. Stanton acting in all probability as its Chief Justice, to have euperseded the ordinary course of law, and for the public good to have temporarily deprived Kentucky of its liberties. However the election may ultimately turn there can be no present doubt that the exposure of the frauds in Indiana, and the oral as well as written reply of Mr Lincoln to the deputation from Tennessee, have largely increased the strength of General M'Clellan, not alone in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, where it was always predominant, but in the Great Western States, where public opinion was more equally divided ; and, as if going with the popular tide, the merchants and bankers of this city have at length spoken out, and in a large and highly respectable meeting—respect able in the truly American sense of the many millions of dollars which the originators of the meeting own and represent—have declared them , selves against Mr Lincoln. After the close of the banks and the places of business yesterday after noon, Wall-street and Broad.street—that classic region where stand the temples of Mammon—were crowded by the devotees of that great divinity— drawn together, not as usual by the hope of gain, or to worship at the customary shrine, but by a political principle—to listen to speeches delivered by mon of their own standing, experience. and wealth. The denunciation of Mr Lincoln's conduct, both of the war and the Government, and of miss management of the national finances, was earnest and emphatic, and the voice of the not remarkably numerous but influential assemblage, composed of the first men of the city, was enthusiastic and unanimous for General M'Clellan. The general feeling to-day is that if the election be fairly cons ducted throughout the country General M'Clellan will be the choice of the people. But as the Elec toral College, to be nominated on the Bth, and not the people in their collective capacity, must ulti mately decide, it may happen that Mr Lincoln may carry the majority of the States—though supported by only a minority of the people—and be made President by the questionable votes of Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Louisiana, If such prove to be the case, will General M'Clellan and the Democratic party submit quietly ? He would be rash indeed who at the present moment would undertake to answer this question one way or the other. All that can be said is that the doubt creates alarm, unsettles the minds of most men, and, added to the unfavourable news from the Army of the Potomac—presaging, as it does, the close of the campaign against Richmond—has produced since Saturday last a rise in the premium on gold of 22 per cent., and something closely allied to a panic among the operators in Wallestreet.
