ESCAPE OF MR. SANDERS.

The Evening Post has a very amusing and signi-
ficant account of the way in which the Rebel envoy,
Geo. N. Sanders, got over the Suspension-bridge
A few days ago a man dressed in well-worn
working clothes presented himself to the United
States Provost-Marshal on the United States side
of the Suspension bridge. He wore a pair of very
short trousers of striped Kentucky jean, and a
seedy coat of the same material. A coarse, not
over-clean shirt, and a jagged straw hat completed
the costume. The man had no collar or cravat, and
his face was apparently tanned by exposure to the
weather.

He

from Cornwall, and a miner by trade. He had been
working for some time in Pennsylvania, but had
lately received a letter from his brother, a farmer
near London, Canada West, stating that he was
short of help, and urging his miner relative to come
on to his assistance, at least till the harvest time
was ever.
The miner held his tools in one hand, and in the
other carried an old carpet bag of the black glazed

and soiled with dirt.
The Marshal pondered awhile, but the poor miner
gave such a Oonsistent story, and seemed so diaap-
pointed at hi unexpected trouble in crossing, that
the official's heart was melted, and he gave him the
required pass.
The toll-man of the Suspension-bridge then de-
manded a quarter of a dollar toll.
" Two shillings," said the miner, " why I can't
give it. I've only one shilling."
This plea of poverty completely disarmed what-
ever shgdow of suspicion may have existed in re-
gard to the poor workman ; after the proper degree
of hesitation the fellow was allowed to pass over at
half price.
Arriving at the Canada side of the bridge, the
miner with his tools and carpet-bag jumped into
the Clifton House omnibus and was quickly driven
to that famous hotel. He went to the desk and

NEW YORK, OCT. 3 (Evening).
The addross of the 103-al governors to President
Lincoln has been published.
They pledge their support to the President, de-
clare that the work of restoring the Unio❑ shall
not fail, and urge raising a reserve force of 100,000
men for twelve months. They approve the Presi-
dent's emancipation proclamation, and think that
the policy now inaugurated will give speedy
triumph to the Federal arms.

Heavy skirmishing has taken place between Gen.
Buell's advance guard and the Confederates. Buell's
army is drawn up in line of battle at Bardstown,
21 miles from Louisville. An engagement is ex-
pected.

A resolution has been introduced in the Confe-
derate Congress that President Lincoln's emancipa-
tion proclamation is a gross violation of the usages
of war, and should be held up to the execration of
mankind, and counteracted by such severe retalia-
tory measures as, in the judgment of President
Davis, may be calculated to secure its withdrawal
or arrest its execution.

Several members favoured hoisting the black flag
and declaring every citizen in the Southern Confe-
deracy a soldier, authorised to kill every 111 All
found on Confederate soil in arms against the
Government.

The resolutions were referred to the Judiciary-
Committee.

NEW YORK, OCT. 4, MORNING.
The Richmond Enquirer says that "President
Lincoln's proclamation will simply drive the negrocs
to their destruction. They are cheerful and happy
now, but Lincoln plots their death; for their insur-
rection is their swift destruction. Released from
authority, the negro is a savage, and the same
ignorance which drives him to destruction stimu-
lates him to excess."
The same journal says :—" Our military opera-
tions are henceforward to assume a grave character.
Lincoln's new proclamation destroys all terms be-
tween us, and the next campaign will be a tremen-
dous one both for the character and the magnitude
of the hostilities."
The New York World of to-day thinks that the
proclamation will add to the horrors of the war and
make it twice as difficult to conquer the South, and
events will prove the proclamation to be the greatest
mistake of the war.
The Southern journals say that APClellan's army
is on the south side of the Potomac, and advancing
by way of Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown.
An engagement is impending.
The Confederate General Lee has made prepara-
tions to meet the enemy.
The Rwhnzond Whig has information that the
entire Confederate loss at the battle of Manassas
was 5,000, and in all engagements in Maryland
from 5,000 to 7,000.
General Beauregard has assumed the command
of the Confederate army in South Carolina and
Georgia.
President Lincoln has passed several days in
visiting Harper's Ferry and the Antietam battle-
field, and in reviewing the troops.
General Butler has ordered all persons refusing
to take the oath of allegiance to have their names
registered as enemies of the United States. Those
taking the oath will be recommended for pardon.
The Federal General Morgan, who was with his
forces lately at Cumberland Gap, has reached the
Ohio River, opposite Portsmouth.
After Nov. 1 next no foreign invoices will be re-
ceived for entry at the New York Custom-house un-
less certified to by censul's certificate at the place
of shipment abroad.
