Among tile various articles and items ne.
etssarily crowded out Of the Di.ps.ca, of yes
terday, on account OF our large quotations
from the New York Herald, Of the 18th. were
the following from that paper Of the sa,,e
New-York daily tribune., 1861-08-14
IAN HONORABLE PEACE"

An average specimen of the Jcsuitsm OF The
Journal Of Commerce is an article which up.
pcared III that paper few days ago, un.
der the title of, "Iiaye We a Government ?"
II sets out with the following glowing picture of
our happy condition as nation up TO the time
when the people saw tit to elect a Republican
President:
"For long series Of years until the present dyaiy emo
into power people OF the United States have scarcely known
hat they had Government smoothly did IN machinery
work They paid National axe, tat they ar1ys Of
aud bore burdens OF any hind They were every
where IN the enjoyment OF security, freedom and property
distant lands they felt the projecting hand aud
mi at have Inferred that there Government somewhere
which Giody guarded their Interests they felt in no other
way. To minds they seemed free air ley
breaLed-a reudrnt each and every of them he
monarch Of all he surveyed"
We have no disposition to deny the general truth
of this statement. To be sure, the energies Of the
General Government, during the last eight years
were very largely perverted from their legitimate
objects 10 the work of extending slavery, directly
aud by force of arms into Kansas, and indirectly
and ultimately over the whole country, by the incu-
cation OF false constitutional doctrines. To be
sure, stealing had become so common practice
among the members oi Nr Buchanans admins
traton, that the people would have been justified
on this ground alone in taking measures to place
the management Of public affairs in the hands OF u
different set ol men, But the country Was generally
in good condition. Experience has shown that it
can stand 4 good deal Vi stealing aud corruption,

TEE BATTLE EN- MISSOURI.

The country will ring to-day with the glory
Of the exploits of our army in the West Eight
thousand national troops inspired by the aroor
OF leader who purchased victory at the cost
of his own life, scattered aud drove before
them three times their number of rebel adyer-
saries, under general whose name alone had
cause The honor of our arms has been nobly
maintained, ard, while we mourn the bitter
loss which the nation has suffered in the death
of one Of its brayest commanders, we share the
pride which will thrill throughout the land as
the story of the Missouri battle becomes known.
Heuceforward let there be no wincng at the
Southern boasts Of " superior manhood" let us
all rather rejoice that this signal proof of the
true valor Of Northern hearts has 40 swiftly fol-
lowed the misfortune into which We were led
upon the plains of Manassas.
The reports from the scene of action will be
eagerly read. 1t is sufficient for us now to
know that our little Western band attacked and
swept before it $4,000 of the vaunted troops of
Ben McCulloch, and that, though from its very
weakness in numbers, which made its daring
the more conspicuous, it was thought best
TO withdraw il to position OF positive sccu-
r.ty, it now stands where no efforts Of the
enemy can endaDger its safety. The death
of Gen. Lyon is great calamity, but we
may gather some consolation from the fact
that be died as q soldier can best afford to
die, at the moment Of victory, aud while CON-
plcting the good work which his courage and
sagacity had oeguu. His epitaph VIII be spoken
to-day by million tongues. OF the incidents of
the encounter we know little. Suah details as
we have our readers may find elsea here But
the facts of our success and our ascendency are
in every way confirmed, and upon these alone
wo may joyCglly rest for few hours.

PUBLIC OINTMENT EN- THE COUN.
TIES OF MARYLAND.

1t will be remembered that the official returns
of the late Congressional election IN Maryla.d
showed OIL actual Rebel majority in the City Q.
-. .OC1: or, in other words. that the Union vote
was II ,2ii, aud tue Rebel vote Is, ,763. Such
was the prima .facie showing on the 18th Of
June: but we have reason to believe that II the
vote were to be taken over to-day, with the
same men in the field and with Mr.. May stand
ing upon his present c!carly -defoed Rebel plat
form, the Rebel majority of 2,Jl9 would be more
than transferred to the Union side, and that,
too. in the face of tbe Bull Run Affair." For an
evidence of the changed and changing condition
of the Rebel sentiment of thlt city see the sue.
cessiul administration of its police authority under
martial law, and the indignant refusal Of the
street audience to hear the arch-traitor Brock
iurdge spout his oftnsiye defamation 10 favor
of rebellion. And when we state that nothing
but the determined resistance of the police to
the angry multitude preventcd them from enter
ing the Eutaw House, and infctpg summary pun
isLment upon the traitors Breckenridge, Nallan-
disham, and Burnett, We state what is recog.
nized fact, aud one that shows q most strlhlpg
change in public opinion IN that city.
1t is now our purpose to point ont tue condi.
tion of public sentiment in the couhtes of Mary
land at the late election, the official returns Of
which have just reached US, with the exception
of that part of Baltimore County which is in.
cluded in the lid. or Webster's district We shall
compare The vote with that thrown at the late Pres
dental election, as aiiording the best data for
arriving at a correct Judgment in the premises.
The following tabular statement of the votes
given Oh these two occasions, in the four county
districts will enable the reader to see at g
glance the real condition of things, Is indicated
By these figures:

Porter, who commanded the First Brigade of
tie Second Division, n the action at Bull Run,
aud into whose hands the command Of the
Division was gwen by Col. Hunter, when the
latter officer was wounded. This report supplies
all that was left to be described Of the move
1uents of the right attacking column. The excel
lent conduct of many Of the officers under Col.
Porter is Enthusiastically extoled, while that Of
Others, and more especially of certain bodies
of troops, is rather lightly spoken of. Some
parts of the report will be likely to lead to pub
BIC complaints, unless those who may fancy
xhemselves sggrieved shall temper their valor
with a prudent discretion.

We print this morning an interesting CORES
rondence between Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt and
Mr.. w. o. Bartlett, his counsel, on the subject
OF the Vanderbilt steamships. 1t has been stated
that there existed a difference of opinion between
tho Nary Department and Mr.. Vanderbilt touch
Jug the price of the steamer Vanderbilt; that
statement is by this correspondence corrected
and it is clearly shown that Mr.. Vanderbilt has
net set any price upon his vessel since bis CON-
muncation Of May IA, wherein he offered it at
a valuation to be determined by Commodore
Stockton and any two commodores in active ser
vice, or as q present to the Government. 1t
also appears that since the date of the commune
cation referred to, Mr.. Bartlett, who has acted
under verbal instructions from Mr.. Vanderbilt
has varied the original offer for the purpose OF
making it, If possible, still more acceptable to
the Government; as the offer now stands, the

or all of the ships and to name all OF the op-
praisers himself to hx price upon the same

THE ADIRONDAC GRAPE.

At the recent Annual Exhibition of the
Montreal Horticultural Society, John W.
Bailey, Esq, of Plattsburg, N. Y, the
we'll known horticulturist and nurscryman
of that place, exhibited new Seeding
grape, of which the Montreal Herald
speaks as follows:
"On the lefto the vegetable department
we encounter the fruit table, the first were
several varieties of grapes from Mr.. Bailey
of Plattsburgh, among them was a new
variety never before exhibited, which may
be considered one of the most valuable
contributions to the Exhibition. For
years there has been demand for a grape
for open air culture, suitable for the north
ern climate; the Concord, Diana, Delaware
and others have been introduced, these,
however, have suffered from frost and are
deficient in favor. Mr. Bailey discovered
at the foot of the Adirondacs a native
grape which ripens fifteen days before any
other and is decidedly of better quality
possessing most delicious flavor, in fact
equal to the most delicious hot house grape.
This grape which Mr. B. names the "Ad-
irondac," will prove hardy with ordinary
winter protection in all the Northern States
and Canadas, and will be par excellence
the grape for the north"
A sample of this grape has been sub
mitted to us--and so far as single trial
enables us to judge correctly, our opinion
is strongly in its favor, though we should
not place it's rank, so far as taste is con-
cerned, above that of the grapes named by
the Herald. The sample, however, we
understand, grew on layer, near the
ground, and could not be expected to have
the full flavor Of fruit from a mature vine.
But it was decidedly good, and marked in
character. 1t is dark blue grape, of fair
size, and Mr.. Bailey says it ripens from
the 9Th to the Goth of September, two
weeks before any other good grape, as he
has found by trial of five or six years.
If future trials confirm its good qualities
and early ripening, it will prove an i'm
portant addition to our fruit gardens

presenting the great leading facts in the
HISTORY OF RELIGION AND EMPIRE IN PARALLEL.
In each volume is inserted an Historical Dia-
gram, on which the great changes in the history
of Religion, and the rise and fall of empires are
represented, as on an outline map. BY this
means, the chronology of the past, subject so
difficult to master, is made as easy as the latitude
and longitude of Vermont. By the Trail, I"

of the county maps, and is designed for Offices,
studies, families. and common schools.
The Diagram is the same as in the Trail, The
Digest is a compact arrangement of the names
of the leading characters in Church and State,
the dates when they lived, and an epitome of each
ones life. A work of the greatest possible use
for reference, and for introducing the study of
history into common schools.

The Perfect MelOdeOn,
@Izk
WITHOUT AN EQUAL.

NlllIOUl AI L\SOhL'
A LMOST every mail from far and near brings
N to us some new evidence OF the great favor
and growing popularity OF this beautiful lhstru-
ment, and abundant testimonials are constantly
reaching us proving cOnclusively that no other
Reed Instrument contains so many exellencles as
the PERFECT MEL0DEON WITH BASS DAMPER
AND HARMONIC ATTACHMENTS,
The Harmonic Attachment is the most vaiuaDle
of modern improvements-by it the power OF the
Instrument is doubled without increasing lts size
or the number of its Reeds.
Our NEWLY INVENTED HARMONIC ORGAN
for CHURCHES, CONCERT and LECTURE ROOMS
has GREATER CAPACITY AND POWER than any other
instrument made in the Country, considering
the price.
1t is FAR MORE SIMPLE and LESS LIABLE TO GET
OUT OF ORDER than other Reed Organs
It contains only HALF AS MANY REEDS as other
instruments of the same power, and consequent
ly not HALF THE EXPENSE to keep in tune.
1t has a fine powerful PEDAL BASS with REEDS
disconnected with the other part OF the instru-
ment.
Another entirely new feature in the Melodeon
ENTERPRISE is the PATENT HARP, or PIANO ATTACH
MENT, to the Melodeon.
This is precisely what its name indicates, COM
BINATION OF THE MELODEON AND PIANO FORTE,
and meets precisely the wants and desires OF q
large class who have long been anxious to see the
two Instruments combined in MELoDE0N size. In
this unique instrument the MELoDEON, or PIANO,
may be played separately or combined, producing
an effect unknown to any other instrument and
must be heard to be appreciated.
We have arrangements with some OF the best
Piano Makers to receive from them regularly
PIANOS of the very best quality which will be sold
at less than Boston prices.
Also, PIANOS and MELODEoNs to RENT
All Instruments warranted and sent to any part
Of the country at our risk.

Have these always on hand. and happiness

AUTUMN.

These sweet delicious Autumn days,
When all the air is filled with calm,
And all day long purple haze
Hangs Ger the meadow and the farm.
These quiet dreamy afternoons
And sunsets rich with crimson glow,
These soft refulgent harvest moons
Fill me with thoughts Of long ago.
In happy reverie my thought
Goes back to those dear times again,
And scenes and faces ne'er forgot
Come thronging to my musing brain.
However glad the present is.
However swift the moments GO
cherish still these memories,
Remembrance of long ago.

better time to plant than now Farmers
are frightened, business is deranged, eve

was a time when trees and plants could be
purchased at such low prices as now. The
demand has greatly fallen off. There is a
large stock on hand, and such time to
procure trees at cheap rates may never &C.
cur again. We are aware that produce of
all kinds is very low, and that farmers do
not feel like expanding dollar more than
is absolutely necessary. This is well.
Economy is the lesson of the hour. But
no farmer thinks of saving money by not
sowing seed. So, too, he should not try

We do not believe, moreover. that the war
