THE ALBANY DOCTRINE.

The essential issue which Tic IiLaay AfIas
and Argus makes as now before tho country
and open TO tho choice of the people, 10 Separa-
ton or Restofation, for Of its two other points
we refer to an article copied In another coluIan-
subjugation, according to its notions, is only a
continued state Of war, While Emancipation is
mol a result at all 10 far hs Union or Dlsunion
arc concerned, but merely an Incident rendered
probable and even imminent by tho fact ol the
rebellion, whether the Union is dissolved or not;
with this then We lave nothing TO do in the con-
sideration Of the abstract question. The doctrine
therefore, as We find it thus authoritativcly an-
nounced by those persons who choose to assume
that they are tho Democratic party, and who
are to 80 into the pe1t election under that name
amounts, when carefully siflcd, to simply this:
,has wo must either acknowledge q Southern
| Conioderacy, or consent to such Union ~ tle
| Rebels aill believe they can force s 10 accept.
We hardly need say tlot pe disagree with Tie

diaagrees with itseIf. But first we correct its
wllful misststemept, meant, as we nlio will show
as deliberate nIsstatement Of our position on
the question OF separation. Ws arc not and
never wore in favor Of separation except az q
measure of pure and extreme necessity. II tho

Winter, there was danger would be tho case--and
If tho South at tho same time was united In de.

THE CRAsEI OF CRINOLINE.

We owe tho lyelicst of our minor sensations,
this Summer, TO Mother England. She does not
regard sensations as proper, and holds herself
daintily aloof from them, but that her prejudice
Is rather against the word than the article itself,
is satisfactorily shown by tho hearty manner in
which, during the hottest months Of this present
year, she has disordered her person with extreme
excitement over q more varied assortment Of ex.
traDrdinnTy murders and casualties than has ever
been presented to tho world by any nation In the
saIos space Of time aud has wandered in dis.
traction over scale Of scandals which has not
utopped short Of the crown itself, and has even
permitted the public at large to hear the gossip
OF her Belgrasinn drawing-rooma We can take

have always thought, particularly since the pres

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

We have nothing additional Of especial i'm.
portance from the scene of the recent battle in
Missouri. Some details are given, but none that
materially alter our previous accounts. Our
troops captured 400 horses. Our loss in killed
is 200; in wounded 600 or 700. The loss of
the enemy is supposed to be double our own, as
their forces moved in large bodies, and our ar.
tillery played on them with murderoua effect.
From St. Louis We learn that 1000 Rebel
troops are approaching Ironton from the South
The National troops in that region are posted at
Pilot Knob, Ironton and Arcadia, three villages
which lie about two miles apart, in valley
easily defended. The feet of ten steamers,
which has for some time been laid up about
fifteen miles below st. Louis, has been taken to
that city, lest it should iau into the hands Of
the Rebels.
1t is stated that the rebels are moving to the
lino Of the Potomac, preparatory to making an
attempt to rouse the Secession party in Mary
land. At various points the Potomac there
are supposed to be batteries planted by them,
and the Pawnee yesterday left Washington on
reconnoiteriug expedition.

even by the SecessiOnists there. Nothing detnlte
in the way of dctails, however, reaches as.
The Court-Martal which is considering the
case of Col. Miles, is still in session at Wash
ington, progressing slowly, The number OF wit.

is the Hon. Reverdy Johnson.

IL is believed that ten Of the ringleaders In
the recent mutiny Of the New-York 10Th Regi-
mont viii be sentenced TO be shot. A list of tho
names of the prominent actors 10 the affair Is
published this morning. Sixty-six Of the mutt
neers of the I'd Maine Regiment are on the
Powhatan, not in close confinement, but pre-.
vented from holding communication with any
persons, even their own officers.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-08-16
THE BLOCKADE.

II is argued in some quarters that the policy
of the Government in proclaimirg blockade Of
the Southern ports of the Union, contained with
in itself the germs Of difficulties which it were
desirable to avoid. A blockade, it is said, Ia q
measure in which ioregu nations are concerned
They can inquire into IL, and have q right to
insist that it shall be executed ia truly effective
manner by sufficient naval forcs before the
entrance to every port
If instead Of blockade, the Presidents proc
lamatiOn had simply declared the ports Of the
rebellious region 20 be closed aud no longer ports
of entry, this difficulty would have been avoided.
Every nation has right to indicate what ports
shall be accessible TO commerce, and, on proper
notice, may close and open them az its own
necessities shall require. No foreign Power has
any right TO ask whether n port, which The
National Government nas declared to bo closed,
is or is not fully blockaded, nor aoy right to
complain of the seizure aud confscatOn OF veg
sells attempting to ent. such port. IL is a
matter Of domestic police with which foreigners
have 10 concern.
This would appear to bs the view of Congress,
which has lust enacted law for closing the
ports Of the whole rebellicus sea coast. The
President WILL we presume, soon issue the Deces
sary proclamation enforcing this law and ther
the animated discussions of the foreign journals
on the subject Of tie blockade ond hll tho kin
drcd topics viii be supsrogatory.

TOO LATE IN TIE DAY.

The Soft Democrats propose TO revive at the
approaching Fall elections the question Of Slavery
Extension. They appear to think that thi, is the
year 1856, or at the latest, 1850. II strikes us
that there aro some disputes which may be re.
garded as already settled, and that this of Slavery
Extension is ono Of them. History does not go
backward; and however ardent our Soft friends
may be In their desire still to secure the triumph
Of Slavery Extenton BY means Of ballots, Wa
fear t,ey are altogether TOO late Ia the day.

LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF TRUTH AND
REASON AND PROFIT BY IT.

The time has come that all who will escape
the iron grasp of Mercury, by calling, without de-
lay, to the we'll known and justly celebrated
Eclectic European Physician, DIR. BORT who
will administer those only true and safe medi
cines, extracted from the most choice Roots and
Herbs, which are prepared under his own super
vision, and therefore avoiding the use of all Mn
ERAL PoIsoNs, which were never designed for the
system, to take which many thousand have fallen
victims and gone to early graves.
THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.
Remem Der that DIR. Bort wants no patients but
those fully capable of appreciating and dstin-
gushing the services of regular thorough bred
physician, from paltry, unleaFned and triiing
quack.
are entirely unknown to all others in this coun-
try; prepared from life spent in the great hos
pitfalls of Europe and the first in the country.
Remember, that DR.. Bort has a more extended
practice than any other physician in Western
Pennsylvania.
Remember, that citizens of education and our
popular men are all well acquainted with, and
take great pleasure in recommending DR.. Bort to
the afflicted.
Remember, that DIR. Bort m axes no false repre-
sentatons to gull the unfortunate but all he says
will be faithfully carried out.
Remember, that DIR. Bort pays every attention
to diseases OF chronic nature
Certificates fCures may be seen at his respec-
tive rooms
Dr. B. isfurnished with over ak thousand let
ters of recommendations from some of the most
distinguished men living. Also has awarded to
him diplomas from some of the most celebrated
Hospitals and Infrmaties in Europe, for his un-
parallelled observations in Diagnosis and obser-
yatiOns in discovering remedies for the cure of
diseases that have heretofore befalen the skill of
many of the medical profession.
An early call from those wishing to consult the
Doctor, is earnestly requested to receive full
hepeft of treatment, and thus do justice to HIM
self. Time limited.
Please bear in mind when DIR. B. will be in your
place. Persons desirous of consulting him will
confer great favor by calling on the first day of
his arrival, as his Rooms often crowded, it
is utterly impossible to attend to the anxious so
licitatons of all. DIR Bort will arrive at each of
the above places on the FIRST train or 4tzge on the
day appointed. 81
Please extend the invitation to all invalid ac-
quaintances and oblige yours, DO.
