A decision has been made BY the suthofi-
ties Al washington that all citizens Of the
seeded States, whOdesire to take out patents
must FIRST take the oath Of allegiance TO the
Government. This move viii be commei'- Led
a. one sminently necessary to pro-. t.ect our
selves from The evil effects OF y Ao inventions
Of our enemies But why conRne the oath
to the applicants trem the seeding States
Is it not equally desirable to put patentees
from al the States under similar bonds tc
preserve tb's pease of the country If this
rule had been enforced years ago, we should
have less destructive implements to meet In
this war, Let tho oath be taken by ell ap
plicAnts alike.

-Co1u of the federal forces in Missouri have been
the very best medicine which could have been
applied to the secession disease which threat
ened to carry the State of to the Purgatory of
secession. The capture Of Gen. Frost and
80 .ss his command was one OF the best movements
Of the campaign, in that it showed that the

around it existed no longer, but that hence

vigor by the Administration The loss of

the secessionists. Aide Soto lot of seces.

Giving Aid and Comfort 20 the HnenS'
Our dispatches rep TT an important letter
from Secretary Seward, relative to what con-
stitutss giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
The occasion which called out the letter was
the seiyure Of two steamboats, belonging to
the New York and Virginia line, by Governor
Letcher, TO be used fcr State purposes against
The GoYsrnmenL The agent wrote to the
Department to know if be would be allowed
70 receive pay for then, Gov. Letcher having
violated all confederate precedent BY offering
to pay for them. Mr.. Seward sends in re
turn a very plain, straightforward letter,
saving that the State CT Virginia Is hostile
to our government and those vessels were
seized TO aid that State In its work; that
to sell vessels with view to having them
used in awHr against the Government would
be to give the rebels aid and comfort; that
to acceptm from them for vessels seized,
would be to sell them, and therefore such acti
cannot be allowed by the Government. This
is the right ground. 1t may be hard for the
owners Of the boats, but after the secession
or probable secession of Virginia, they ran
their boats at their own risk, and must bear
the loss. In like manner the Coniederated
troops, after seizing the Forts and Arse
mails, asserted that they were ready to pay
the Government for them, but this would
never be allowed, sths Government claimed
the right to say of itself when it would dis
pose of its property, and how.
We hope this Same ground win be taken
everywhere toward all who in any manner
furnish supplies of any kind to the rebel
Hous States Every man who sells yard o.
cloth or pocnd Of provisions 70 those who
are engaged in the war against US, should b
promptly notified that such action stamps
= him as a traitor, who must be dealt with &C

The Toronto Globe closes an article upon
the effect of the revolution upon the English
Cotton Market as follows:
@ Active measures are about being taken 10
rid England forever of her dependence upon
America for this important staple. 1t is be-
yond all question, that from India alone, if
means Of transport and irrigation were pro-
vided for, enough cotton could be procured
to supply the English demand. And as We
see by a recent communication of the Gov
ernor General Of India to his Council, the
necessary steps to this end are Immediately
to be taken. In the United States there are
about 5000, 0O0 OF acres under cotton culti-
vation, which produced in 1858, Ills, 624,-
OH pounds Of cotton. In India the acreage
is "a 900, 900, and the estimated annual pro-
duetion 2,432, ,395s75 pounds-more than
twice as much as the United States. But by
/ far the larger proportion of this is used by
the natives. In 1858, of the immense guam
| tity named England only took $l32, ,722, ,576
pounds. It is certain, however, that the in
crease in price which will follow the. de-
! creased supply from America viii cause more
Indian cotton 70 be Immediately bought
The Chinese take an immense quantity from
I
certain rate per pound. When the price
passes the limits within which they think it
/ ought to be confined, they stop buying. In
fact, they belong to the same financial school
| ss Messrs. Cauchon and Buchanan. The ef-
feet is to leave the market open to English
merchants, who are thus enabled to secare
all that is offered for sale. Here, then, is an
I II the expectation from the United States
is only partially stopped during the next few
years, the effects will be most beneficial. The
trade will be lost to America beyond all re-
covery. In three or four years, time, British
capital and British enterprise viii have Gre
sted in other lsnds-in India, in, China, in
Australia, in Africa, IN Persia-sources Of
supply with which the United States cannot
possibly compete. American cotton may be
king just now, hut We hope soon to see him
numbered among those monarchs who have
retired from business. To bring about so
desirable result, much may be borne. The
immediate suffering win doubtless be great,
but the compensation will in the end be the
most ample that can be desired. @s- 70

These were the dying words OF one of Europes
generals and they seem to haunt the brain
Of JEFF Davis, and he may expire with the
same words in his mouth. We have heard,
time and time again, that q President Davis
will take command Of the army" but
it seems he has not done so yet and the ar
my is suffering for want of proper head.
Much discomfort has been felt by the rebel
80 troops from this want 1t is reported that
Davis will be forced to take command. We esus-
pect that he has had so much to do, attending
20 administration affairs, that it has lef little
- time for war like movements. The organiza-
tion of new government is no light matter
and doubtless JEFF. Davis gets little rest from
45 his labors But just at this time the danger
which threatens the Confederate troops from

- balances every other consIderatlou and forces

A aFifs'u" Fugitive in commuuica-
aon . !" N. Y. Times, makes these inter-
esu' Z statements relative to the condition Of
eastern Virginia: -
THE MILITARY POWER OF EAsTERN VIRGINIA.
The military power Of the State Is greatly
underrated by the North, and is not properly
appreciated by the War Department at Wash
ington. A week ago, the writer failed to
convince Mr.. Cameron that Virginia, With
her foreign forces, would raise aa army Of
50,0 600 men ready and anxious to attack
Washington City; but the truth is that 49,
| 600 men, organized into companies and regi-
ments, have already responded to the call otthe
| Governor. So many OF these men, uniform
| ed, armed and equipped rushed to Richmond,
thatthe Governor was obliged to issue a pro-
olamation ordering the soldiers TO remain at
| home, ready 10 obey orders at amomentsno
tce. Including the private arms OF the citl-
zens, and those distributed by Floyd,
/ (many Of which have been sent to Virginia
from other Southern States there are enough
to arm 10000 men. Many Of these arms are
the old flint-lock muskets, which arc now be-
ing altered into percussion locks Some
three weeks ago ferty-seven four horse Wag
ons loaded with these guns were taken nom
the armory at Lexington and sent to Rich
mond and elsewhere, 10 be altered. Norfolk,
Harpers Ferry, and the founderies at Rich
mond, added largely to this stock Of arms
vet still, with all these, they cannot raise more
than 81, 600 according to the opinions and
statements of those most intelligent upon
this subject. OF heavy ordnance they are
quite deficient and those seized at Norfolk
they are distributing over the Southern
States. Memphis is already supplied with
fthem
The Southern people know that the North
ern troops VIII outuumber them, but they be
lieve that Southern courage, and the right
eousness of their cause, will triumph oYel
the North, whose soldiers are cowardly mer
cenaries, who fight for money and not tol
principle. A very prevalent idea is, that on'
Southern soldier is equal to five g Yankees !
and another, that their enemies viii fight a
long as they can use MIME rifles, but tina
they Wiil not meet them in a hand-to- hanI
+ combat, and that a charge will put them Z
fight. They have an abiding faith in Jett
Davis and in Gen. Lee, whom they conFide
superior to Gen. Scott. Troops are being
concentrated at various points whence rail
K roads diverge, so that in q few hours 25,OO'
or 30, 600 troops can be at any given place
For the TRANSPORTATION of these troops in vas
numbers, they are fully prepared; beside
passenger cars, they will use freight cars, al
ready prepared with rough seats, and whel
the freight cars are filed, the gravel train
will be made ready. In Richmond and Pc
tersburgh, engineers are engaged in unitinI
the railroad tracks, so that there will be n
delay in going from one depot to another.
