TIE last number of Punch, which we have re-
ceved, contains a clever caricature of "A Fla.
mily Quarrel" Brother Jonathan and his wife
are in the middle of family jar; but the cream
Of the joke is, that man in the background is
dancing with Joy at the rupture. What strikes
this moral Punch as ludicrous is, that the afore-
said bl EEK slave should be reJoced at the pros.
pect of emancipation. 1t is very funny, is it
not! When factory children danced at he pas
sage Of their emancipation bill, it wasn't funny
at all; when the wretched boys and dwarfed girls
in the coal mines hailed the passage of Lord
Ashiey's bill, it was quite serious business; but
when Sambo cuts double shuttle at the posi-.
bility of liberty, it is very ludcrous indeed

sFThe London Times has an article in it's
edition of the 9Th inst, upon American affairs,
which, by inference, at least, is favorable to the
North. The writer dwells upon three facts as
important elements tending to our success, viz:
the approaching cold weather, the want of sui
phur at the South, and the utter inability of
the Re oels to n anufacture the riHed large and
small arms they need SO much. The Times
seems really to apprehend that the North has
the power and the will to crush the rebellion,

PASSES OVER THE PoroMAc-Much complaint
is made here of the manner in which passes to
cross the river are granted. An order has been
issued stating, that except in cases Of imperative
necessity, no passes will be granted for this pur-

soldiers are refused the passes, every tap.room

SUFFERING IN THE MoUNTAIAs.-The Licking
ton Observer says that forty one persons, most
of them women and children, arrived in that city
on Thursday last from their homes in Knox and
Laurel counties. They were flying from the per
secutiOn and annoyances of Zoico6ers maraud-
ers. One of the persons constituting this little
band of refugees Mr.. Vannoy) is a minister in
the Christian Church, and he gave most heart
rending account of the dreadful state of things
in the mountains, caused by the reckless and IN.
principled followers Of the rebel Zullicofer.-
He was an eye witness of many Of their afro
cious acts of vandalism, having been present at
London, Laurel county, when the rebel force en-.
tered and took possession OF that place, and for
several hours was detained by them prisoner.
He states that they took from the stores, groce-
ries and private dwellings everything they de-
sired but seemed to be more particularly solici
tous for clothing, shoes. blankets and provisions
They also took possession of and drove OF all
the live stock upon the farms in that country,
and many persons had been robbed, Of all the
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs that they posses
sed. They even went further, and, in the spir-
1t Of mere wantonness and brutality, they de-
stroyed whst they did not want, even to the
clothing of the women and children.
Mr. Vannoy, who, by the way, is plain, un-
educated, but evidently an honest, pious man,
informs US that nearly all the young and able
bodied men of that section of the State had,
previous to the invasion of the State by Zolli.
Golfer, enlisted in the military companies assem-
bled at Camp Dick Robinson, and the remainder
have since gone TO Col. Garrard's camp, which
is beyond Rockcastle river, and about IL miles
this side of London. The old men and the wo.
men and children, who we're left behind, he
represents to be in such state of alarm and ap-
prehension, that they have left their homes and
sought hidirg places in the mountains, having
removed from their, dwellings their household
effect and secreted them in the least accessible
places in order to keep them from the robbers.
The suffering and privaiions of these people can
scarcely be conceived Of, and, as depicted by
this humble but patriotic Christian, are truly
heart-rendng
He says that there are but three of the male
inhabitants left in Barboursville, and they are
permitted to remain there in security simply be-
cause they are secessionists. The Union men
have all been compelled to hy. He was at Col.
Garrards camp last week, aud he states that it
is daily increasing in numbers, by men from the
surrounding counties, but their efficiency as SOL
diers is rendered unavailable by reason Of the
inability Of Col. Garrard to supply them with
arms Lou. Journal, Oct. FL

CHICKANIcoMIco-Thi place, which has just
come into transient no:oriety, is point on the
harrow strip of land which divides the Pamlico
Sound from the Atlantic. The place is just
South of Luggerhead Inlet, which is the first
North of Hstteras Inlet, and. we believe, has
about five feet of water on its bar. Chickam-
comoco is perhaps twenty Ave miles north Of
Hatteras light, and about forty from Hatteras
Inlet. The lend is unbroken for the whole dis
lance, though in some places it is not more than
halt mile vide, and is, We believe. for the most
part OF the way msrshy. TWAS therefore quite
feasible for Col. Hawkins to march with his re-
Inducements from Hatteras, had the news Of
the attack reached him in season. The particu.
Jar significance of the position at Lopeerhead
Inlet we do not know.

MCCLELLAN EAGER TO ADVANCE ON MANAs
sAs-WnAr KEEPS HIN BAcK-We give for
what it is worth the following extract from the
Washington correspondence of the New York
Anti Slavery Standard:
A singular story is aAoat in political circles
here, aud though it savors little too much of
gossip to suit me, 1 will give it for what it is
worth. The story is, that Gen. Mcclellan is i'm
patient to advance upon Manassas and Richmond,
but that he is opposed vehemently by Mr.. Sew
ard, Gen. Scott and President Lincoln. 1t is
further stated that Mr.. Stewards policy is to
prevent any great battle the present autumn or
the coming winter, in the hope that both Sec
tons will by that time get sick of the war, and
will be ready for q compromise Of the slavery
question and peace. According to the gossip
am quoting from, Mr.. Seward has succeeded in
convincing the President that it is better to
avoid any battle this fall between here ana Rich
mond, and that the President, fortified by the
opinion of Gen. Scott, will not permit Gen. Nc
Clellan to make any advance with his army, or
at least is doubtful on the subject, and will only
give way, if he does go ut all, because the young
General threatens to resign his position in the
army.
Now, it is quite possible that, before this let.
ter is closed, Mcclellan may make all advance
that will show that he has his way, but it will
not necessarily prove that the story above men,
toned is false. 1t may only prove that the Pres
ident has given way before Mcclellan and the
voice of the people. 1t is somewhat singul r
that while Cabinet members condemn Fremont
for his inactivity, nothing is doing here. Banks
and Dix are chatting with inactivity. Our army
advances a week or two after the Rebels ad.
vance; and to ordinary minds it would seem as
if our great Generals had no plan for fall CAM
paign. A friend Of McClellan's however, tells
US that few days more will show us that he
(McClellan) has plan, and that 1t is a magnf.
cent one, and worth waiting to understand for
weeks and months. Let US be patient. Perhaps
it is true that we are on the eve Of great victo-
ries. No one desires to see Bull Run repeated
by the ''On to Richmond" cry, though We all
know that if any advance is to be made at all,
this year, it must be made very soon. The roads
viii soon be impassable. After the middle OF
November the roads between this and Manassas
will be impossible to artillery. or to the ordina
ry baggage and provisions. This the Virginian:
well know, and their object is to keep us off till
wet fall weather sets in, when they can safely
retreat TO Richmond for winter quarters.

REBEL AaESrs MANAGING EUROPEAN TILE

pool, is the channel through which telegruphic
information is distributed TO the English and
Continental journals. The following news, which
the Agency sends to the entire European press,
as coming "direct from the Southern States"
shows bow indefatigably the rebel emissaries
are working to mould public opinion in Europe:
''The cotton loan to the Confederate Govern
ment amounted to l,0OO,O0 bales, on the 9th
September --On that day-the day that he was
reported to have died-President Davis was in
his Office at Richmond, attending his official du.
ties. The news is confirmed that the authori
ties of Spain, in Cuba have issued an order to
have the satne protection extended to vessels
sailing under the Confederate flag that is enjoyed
by Tho hag of other countries. At Richmond,
the loss estimated or the enemy at Manassas ia
Is 900 in killed, wounded and prisouer. Nc.
Ciellan is closely beinmed in between the lines

No Importance whatever was attached to the
loss of Hatteras. The press in the South is at
liberty to discuss public matters freely Never
were people more cordially united than the
citizens of the Confederate States. The cotton
picking season had fully commenced, and the
planters were storing their crops away in the
seed on their estates, there to remain at the
disposal of Government until the raising of the
blockade"
