REVIVAL or BusINEss-As we predicted,
otter two months ago, the fall of the year has
brought with it revival OF all kinds Of business,
which renders New York city locally insensibie
to the material disasters that have been brought
upon the country by the Southern rebellion
Money is abundant; the specie reserve in the
banks is increasing instead Of diminishing;
places Of amusement are throngsd night after
night; jewellers and fancy goods stores present
an appearance, nearly as animated as was wit
nessed one year ago; capital Is finding for itself
new channels of occupation, aud trade and com.
nerce are establishing themselves upon safer
inj less precarious basis thaH ever has been
known before in the United States. While
Great Britain and other European nations are
suffering from the loss of the American market,
and our imports are diminishing, exports Of
Western breadstuffs are multiplying SO enor-
mously, as to make nearly every foreign Power
our debtor. The energy that is being displayed
BY the President in carrying on the war, inspires
universal confidence, and with 1t all matters are
looking upwards.-[N. Y. Herald, 9th.

The CHARACTER OF PRICE's ARMY.-A CORES.
pondent of the New York Times, who was made
prisoner by the rebels while trying to get coed
sight of the siege of Lexington, says it is impos-
sible to ascertain accurately Prices loss. He
estimates it at from two to three hundred. The
writer describes Price as gray.hesded man
about 80 years old.
The writer was quite favorably impressed
With the bearing OF the rebel officers, but re-
garded the priva:es as burlesques upon gentle
men and soldiers.
They thronged the streets in tumultuouss drunk
en- hordes-always mounted, armed with 'itie
or shot gun, AID bottle of whlsky-!ellows
ragged in clothing, redundant in swagger, coPi
Gus 10 b!asphemy, ard beating, in every respect,
the most intensified conception of dozen Bonn
bsstes Furiosos, mingled in one. Ignorant to
the last degree, they affect profound know
ledge of the political affairs of the country, and
the principles which uude'lie this gigantic war;
Yet talk with iity of them, and torty-nine will
swear to you, with preface of half hundred
oa,hs, that the Abolitionists are wagng this war
to steal "our niggers." "Or niggers!" Take
any Thousand from the hordes that are bowling
on the track of the Nationals in Missouri, and
who pirate about ''o,r niggcrs," and nine hun
bred and ninety-nine of them are too poor to
buy even a baby, if full grown niggers were SELL
ing at ten cents dozen.

EASTERN VIRGINIA DEsERTED-At every ad-
vance OF the Federal troops, the rebels Of the
eastern portion Of Virginia desert their farms
and dwellings, and fall into the arms of their
rebel friends. The consequence is, that in n
ride from the Long Bridge out to Munson's Hill,
you will not find more than two or three houses
that are occupied by Virginia families. These
houses, stripped of their furniture, are taken
possession OF by our troops the moment they
are thus vacated, and the dwellings are speedily
converted into officers quarters, and these men
grow fat off the products of the farms that in
many cases make prolific yield of fruit and
vegetables At other points there is nothing
but mass of smoking ruins left to tell the tale
Of the tate meted out to the domicil of some
noted rebel, while all around there is abundant
evidence to the fact Of the blighting influence
Of such war as we are now engaged in.
Fields of corn and grain that but an hour ago
proudly tossed their heads in the golden sun
shine, are now trampled to the ground. Roofs,
under which childhood matured into man and
womanbood, and under which bright eyes have
grown dim with age, are now converted into
broken fragments, OF else have been consumed
BY the torch of the inccndiary. The tinkiins
Of the bells attached to the yoke of the cattle
is yet heard in the woods, their owners having
left them behind in their sudden flight. A 81
lence reigns throughout the country, save where
it is broken by the sharp report Of a musket
shot, or the blast of buge from a distant
camp. War is proclaimed on every side, and
run ors of war engage every tongue in this Sec
ton Of the country.

BEAUFORT, South CARoLlNA.-1t is almost
certain that part of our naval force has, before
this, been employed in making an attack upon
the port of Beaufort, South Carolina The Sa-
nnnah Republican says:
"On Monday and Tuesday, Sept. l6 and II, a
Federal feet was engaged in the bombardment
Of fort at Port Royal, which is on the main
passage to Beaufort Harbor." The town of Beau
fort is about midway between Charleston and
Savannah, and only about 50 miles distant from
each place. lis possession would give US an ex.
cellent foothold on the Southern coast, and OPP.
esations might be commenced there against the
city Of Charleston or Savannah. The town has
iess than thousand inhabitants But the har.
Dor is good one, and there is about sixteen
feet Of water ON the bar, SO that vessels of pref.
" good size can enter. 1t is not impossible
that the attack on this point may have made il
necessary for Beauregard - send some of bis
army to South Carolina, and this may accOun,
for his sudden withdrawal from his old lines be-
fore Wsshington.-(Lou. Jour.

IMPORTANT FROM THE CHEROKEE NATION
Two men, who arrived at Rolla on Saturday, re-
port that about two weeks ago. Ross the Chero
kee Chief, bad called 5000 Cberokees about
him, and declared for the Union. Read, an in.
fuential half breed and Secessionist, had raised
the standard Of revolt, and had had a skirmish
near Talaquah with ROSES body guard. Ross
was victorious. This information is in conflict
with recent reports that Ross and the whole Ma
ton had declared for Secession, but we are as
sured by one of the Government scouts, now in
the city, who knows all about the Southwest,
that it is reliable.-[Mo Democrat

In HoxoR OF GEN. LYox.-The President, in
honor Of the late heroic General Lyon, who be-
queathed life, talents and property to his beloved
country, has renewed one of the patriots latest
acts, commissioning Col. John Mcneil, formerly
commander Of the post of St. Louis, and Lieut..
Col. Shepard, who was Gen. Lyons aid-de-camp
in his battles, to raise regiment Of choice men
for service in the Department Of the West
One company is to be accepted from each State
in the West, and one each from Massachusetts,
and Connecticut Five companies are now in
camp at st. Louis. General Lyons property,
amounting to $4,000, having been wlled to
the Government, that sum has been set apart to
make this regiment continual glory to the
name it bears.

and their great chief, John Ross.
Unlike the Choctaws, the Cherokees
are warlike race. Bitter have been their
wars with the whites and neighboring
tribes of their own race, in which they
showed all the Indians ferocity and p,ore
than the Indians courage. Their in
struction in the arts of civilization extends
scarcely further than knowledge of the
use of powder and ball, although mission
airy enterprise had established some schools
among them. Uncivilzed as most of the
tribe are, their leader John Ross, is one of
the most refined and cultivated of men.
He is half-breed, the son of Scotch
trader. By extraordinary enterprise, join
ed to natural ability Of . high order, he
has attained great degree Of culture in
all branches of learning, scholastic and
practical. Early gaining controlling in
Auence with his tribe, he has managed
their affairs, until recently at least, in a
statesmanlike manner. He is man of
large wealth, slave-owner, though not .
deyotee of the institution and, amid the
reinements of his own home or in the
circles Of elegant society, he passes equal.
" for polished gentleman. Until recent.
ly this chief has held Cherokees to their
fealty with the Union. He has shown
them by messages and speeches the utter
destruction that would finally await the
tribe in case they joined their fortunes
with the rebels. He has pointed out to
them the nnmberless wrongs and outrag-
es they have received at the hands Of
Southern men, and has thus kept in check
q large party, comprising the more lawless
elements Of the tribe, who have been IA
vorable from the beginning to the South
ern cause. The battle Of Springfield,
however, which cut of the Cherokees from
all Federal aid and influence, has turned
the scale against Ross and the Union
The Cherokees finally have seeded, aud
their leader, il seems, has been swept away
