Mr. EDITOR II notice in your paper Of yes
tcrday an advertisement for the sale of the
whole eott of Silver Instruments owned by our
Band. Why is this Why must our .2and be
broken up, and we left without one in Montno.
lier Why must they now sell their beautiful
sett Of Silver Instruments? Surely the Band
gives us much pleasure by their pleasant, Prom
enado Concerts, by their attendance at cur Pie
MICS and Sabbath School Celebrations, our out
door Concerts and Serenades, and their helm il
almost indispensable upon public days.
Then why not have it kept up, and have even
more of their services than We have been as
customod to? Can we not have one or two
outdoor concerts every week in different parts
OF the town? Have public concerts in the
Hall SO that our families and all the children
OF the village may enjoy this most innocent an
most Mountaineering pleasure And then can
not we realize that Bands as we'll as other in
stltutlons must have some pay, that the members
cannot afford to spend their time in rehearsine.
pay their rents, for their teachers, their music
and instruments, and then play for nothing !?
viii not our.people look to this, and see that
something is done so that our Band be not
broken up, their Instruments sold, and their
leaders, Profs. Rice and Fales, be not obliged to
leave US tor some more enterprising town?

and Caeever, who sought to subvert the consti-
tuition and the laws of the land by claiming to
be the representatives Of the Almighty and
the expounders of ga higher law" when they
only represented their own morbid and vitiated
imaginations; and now they give vent to the
same spirit of sediton and rebellion against the
constituted authorities. What is essentially
necessary, therefore, to the success of the war,
and to the development of the Union and con-
sentative spirit of the country, is not the over
throw Of slavery, but the extinction Of aboli-
tionism-to quench the fanatical sheets, shut up
anti-slavery conventicles, and send the editors
and preachers to Fort Lafayette as incendiary
propagators Of sediton against the government,
and as more deserving of such domicil than
the Able McMaster Till this is done never
will ultimate success crown our arms, and in
vain will our generals plan campaigns and
patriotic blood be shed for the Union on the bat
tie field.

successes of the rebellion in the field the greater
will be the losses and dangers of the South. 1t
Is generally believed that Beauregard contem-
plates the conquest of Washington. His army
Is ready; let him try the experiment. He will
be defeated, no doubt; but in his defeat the
South will be saved. A decisive Union reac-
ton would instantly follow throughout the
Southern States, and they would thus be spared
the exhausting sacrifices of a winter campaign
and a sweeping invasion by land and sea.
England, in this Mexican Intervention, will
put an end to Mr.. Yancey's Southern confede-
racy; and so let Beauregard, without further
delay, give Mcclellan challenge which will
put an end to this suicidal rebellion. The
sooner the better; for the loyal States will soon
have five hundred thousand men in the field,
and five hundred ships-ofwar and transports
along the Southern seaboard.

THE NEWS.
Brown.

In another column we publish news from Cali
fornia Oregon, the Sandwich Islands and Jarvis
Island, which has reached this city in less than
eight days from San Francisco, by pony express
and telegraph. The telegraph now extends from
New York to Sweet Water, only twenty-four miles
east of Salt Lake City. At San Francisco trade
was firm end active. Large quantities Of tobacco,
arrived in the ships Sea Serpent and Swordfsh, had
been seized, being the property of rebels. Enlist
ments for the army were going on actively and the
quota from California would soon be filed. The
general intelligence from Oregon and the Sandwich
and Jarvis Islands is unmportant.
The United States transport George Peabody,
Captain Travis, arrived last evening from Fortress
Monroe. She brought fourteen State prisoners
and landed them at Fort Lafayette.
Our Bermuda correspondent thus writes under
date of the 18th inst:The report going the rounds
of the New York papers Of Southern trade with
these Islands is totally incorrect. No vessel has
9eit this for Southern port since the blockade was
established, and but one has arrived thence, the
Prince Leopold, subsequently seized at your
port.
The Madrid Correspondence states that its num-
Der of the sth of September confirms the rumor
Of division of Spanish troops being sent to
Mexico in company with French and British troops.

THE SITUATION.

There appears TO be probability of serious
engagement between the Union and rebel forces
IN the vicinity Of Washington before many days
The rebels have unmasked their batteries along
the Virginia side of the Potomac, presenting q
powerful front so as completely to have closed
the navigation Of that highway to the capital.
These batteries are said to be placed at in
tervals Of a little over two miles, all along
the shore from Occoquan creek to Matthias
Point, and military men declare the river
to be completely blockaded and rendered
useless Every vessel that passes is fired on and it
is said that at least ten thousand troops are located
along the rebel shores, with powerful force
within striking distance. 1t is also believed that
an attempt will be made by the rebels to cross the
river at two points-viz from Aqua Creek and
opposite to General Banks column. Whether the
rebels are ready for an open field fight is not actu
ally known; but judging from their refusal to take
up the glove thrown down by General Smith on
Wednesday, it would appear they are not
The news from st. Louis bears out tho remarks
in the Situation Of yesterday that the report rela
tive to the contest between the rebel General
Price, and the Union Generals Hunter, Segel Lane,
&C., needed confirmation. 1t appears now that at
the time of the reported engagement General
Siegel had not left st. Louis, and General Hunter
was with his command at Rolla. From Leaven-
worth intelligence has been received that Gen. Lane
on the 2lst inst, was engaged in contest with
the rebels at Papnsville, and expected to march
on Osceola, thus apparently moving back to the
borders of his own State, as his former engage
mcnt with General Rains forces was situated
much nearer to Lexington. General Hunter was
at Jefferson City yesterday. General j. c. Davis
has gone towards the scene of action with his staff
and General Siegel was expected at the Missouri
be looked for hourly.
Animportant arrest has been made in the West.
While the rebel, James B. Clay, with sixteen other
persons Of similar character, were making
their way to join the rebels under General
Zollicofer they were arrested and sent to
Camp Dick Robinson, where they will doubt
less be we'll taken care of. J. c. Breckenridge
appears to have been more successful in his
movements, as he is reported as having effected

GARIBALpI AND THE WAR-There are reports
band of Italian followers, is preparing to
embark for the United States to join the federal
army But we do not credit them. In the
first place Garibaldi, although very successful
General in fighting for the freedom and unity
of his own country, does not understand the
Americans and their motives sufficiently to &C
complish any great result here, even if he had
an open field in which to carry out his own de-
signs; and Garibaldi is too sensible a man to
embark in any enterprise where the chances are
so much against him. If this war was one for
the abolition of slavery or any merely abstract
idea, Garibaldi or any other Italian SOL
der might be found to enter into the
sentiment with sufficient zest to fight
in the national cause as bravely as any born
American But in the absence Of any but a
purely patriotic motive, such as that for main
tanning the integrity of the Union, Garibaldi, as
an Italian, might see nothing to arouse his en-
thusasm. Moreover, here he would be in the
midst of foreigners, whom, although familiar to
him to some extent through former residence,
he might consider slow to reciprooate his SYM
pathies He would be disappointed to lind
ONLY subordinate position assigned to him;
and we know his love Of supreme power or
none. Brave and great therefore, as is Carl
baldi, he is not the man who would care to fight
in our army, or who would increase the prestige
Of bis name if he did fight. With undisciplined
bands of heroes in red shirts he succeeds ad
mirably, as the world has had the opportunity

OF seeing. 1t by no means follows, however,
that as one of an immense army he would sue
coed equally well, or that he would have az
fine theatre of action in America as he had
in Italy. Garibaldi, too, will soon be wanted
in Europe. There will be an uprising of the
Hungarians against Austria before long, and
then will be his opportunity, and one exactly
to his TASTE A struggle to free Venice from
fire of his ardent and truly Italian nature.
There will be his path to fresh victories and re-
nown, and meanwhile we can hardly expect to
see him in the United States.

Not long ago ON officer Of tho rebel army
in Missouri took horse from Union man of
that State and gave him in payment three
hundred dollars in Confederate States bonds.
To these he very naturally objected; but
the officer, having no other form of money
with which to satisfy the owners demands,
and being unwilling to restore the ami
NAL, quietly rode away, leaving the other to
his own reflections and any remedy he could
find. Very soon afterwards he made a COM
plant Of the conduct of the officer in question
to General Price, who ordered the horse to be
returned to him. When this was done he, as a
matter of course, handed back the bonds to their
original possessor, who, however, to his surprise,
secuted the idea Of receiving them, observing,
"Oh damn them, they're worth nothing, any
howl" BY this we can easily see the value of
Southern paper money, even in the estimation
ofthose who are or ought to be the best judges
Of its quality.
IT will be remembered that when the great
commercial panic of 1887 overlook us the coun-
try was rapidly flooded with shinplasters, from
five cents upwards, issued by all classes of
traders, and that specie payments became at
length rather the exception than the rule. The
inconvenience and unsoundness of this palliative
for financial distress were severely felt and
especially by those who had more than their
share OF worthless paper left on their hands.
We now find that the practice of issuing shin
plasters in the Southern States has become just
as general as it was at the period alluded to-.
We have before us five of these, recently issued
in Virginia and South Carolina, for sums vary
ing from five to fifty cents. Some of
those emanating from the latter State and
North Carolina, that we have seen, are
printed on coarse brown paper, without any
pretensions to q bankable appearance. The
first in amount of the five mentioned is neatly
engraved note, of the size of an ordinary bank
bill, for fifty cents, issued by the Corporation of
Richmond, and printed in black on white
ground. In the centre is what seems to be the
State Capitol, and in the left margin female
figure in sitting posture. The text is as fol-

The National Fast,

Yesterday was as we anticipated generally
observed throughout the country by citizens Of
all denominations. 1t was kept as much, if not
more, as day of rest than Sunday ITSELF
There was suspension of all business, clos
ing of all stores, an opening of all churches
and gathering of all sects to humble them
selves before God. OF the sermons preached at
the principal churches in this city we give
reports elsewhere and by these it will be seen
that the great events which the day was in
tended TO mark were freely referred to. This is
the second national fast day we have been called
upon by the President to observe this year The
first occurred during Mr. Buchanans admins
tration, and when only the premonitory symp-
toms of the storm that has overtaken us were
visible. There was a marked contrast between
the observance of that and yesterday. Things
that were then only problematcal have since
become realities-stern terrible and grand in
lighted up the gloom in which we were then
plunged, and tens of thousands have shed their
blood in defence of the Union which is our
pride and glory. Union or death was the senti-
mcnt of those who are gone, and Union or death
is still the war cry OF the North.
To-day we resume our usual ayocations, re-
freshed if sobered by the reflections and repose
OF yesterday. We renew our daily labors with
the same unfnching resolve to push this war
on to its final issue-the extinction of the rebel
lion and the restoration Of the Southern States
to the Union. We look forward to the future
with confidence; for with apopulation of twenty
three millions against eight, who among us
can doubt Of the issue! Religion is doubtless q
great source of human consolation; but religion
and national fast days are not everything neces-
sary to our present purpose. We haveit on the
authority of Holy Writ that God helps those
who help themselves; and if we may quote
another and modern authority in the same
sentence, Providence is always on the side of
the heaviest artillery. Let u.s. then, not abate
our ardor in the good work we have begun till
its end is fully accomplished.

GREAT REVIVAL OF PoLrrICAL REFoRM--One
salutary effect of the present war is to sweep
away the party corruption that. for the last
thirty years had grown among us till it attained
the most formidable dimensions. The political
sinners who spent their days and nights and
their health and strength in debauching the
public morals are now down upon their knees
in the gutter, crying "peccavi" Weed is filed
with remorse for the past, though he has not yet
reached the point Of promising amendment for
The future. Greeley, too, is shedding tears Of
repentance, which we hope are sincere. The
man who so long ridiculed the friends
of the, Union as "Union savers" actually
made Union speech the other night. Whether
it is the fear of God or the fear of hemp he has
before his eyes we cannot say; but even the
outward and visible signs of reform are COM
mendable, and we desire to encourage our
philosopher in well doing.
The idea Of secession is extinguished at the
North, and the doctrine of States rights has
given way to a nobler and better the DRY of our
political system, from the energy of the govern
ment in stopping the disaffected sheets in the
mails, and by the arrest of the editors, to-
gether with the other incipient rebel leaders
who menaced the tranquility Of the loyal
States. 1t only remains to shut up the aboli-
ton editors and to silence their batteries They
are the great first cause of the rebellion, mas
much as their action has supplied the South
ern secession chiefs with the most effective
arguments which they have employed in Sc
ducing the people But for the disuniOn acts
of the anti-sIavery fanatics and demagogues at
the North, treason never could have made any
Roadway at the South. They have played
effectually into the hands of the conspirators;
and unless they speedily repent and lead new
life they must be served out with the Same
measure Of impartial justice as the Northern
sympathizers with the Southern rebellion.
The politicians Of every hue are destined to
60 down, sooner or later, before the breath of
the tempest which is now sweeping over the
land. Instead of the old political fossils who
ruled the country, new generation of states
men will spring out of the war; and even Scott
and Stringham must give place to Mcclellan
and other young commanders, who possess the
energy of youth and keep pace with the times.
The people are moving boldly onward, and the
leader who is too slow to march to their music
must be left behind.
