another fact i fast beginning to attract attention
and remark
In spite Of the admirable caution Of Mr.. Lin
coin, it turns out that the willy Secretary Of State
has been caught in the trap of the Prince de
Joinville, and that he was induced 20 get up a
costly dinner to the fallen princes Of the Orleans
family. This was certainly grave mistake Of
the head of the State Department. He ought to
comprehend the responsibility of his high posi-
ton, and 70 know that even civility of his 10
such personages as those We are speaking Of can
not but have great weight, and perhaps importa,.
ana unlocked for results. He has thought NJ 20

the President and his lady, 20 give snowy enter
tainment 70 the Orleans prince. Will not the
French Emperor regard this as a rudeness from
the State Department to himself il not an unne
cessary display of bostilityI IL is another ques-

the Prince de Joinville to crafty his fierce per

of consolidating Northern sentiment, and the
Massachusetts, Republican Convention, BY pas
sive or negative action, has already done well.
Massachusetts newspapers are dong better. The
Boston Daily Ad5crfiser says forcibly: 1T may
not appear so to Mr.. Sumner and his supporters,
and il may be forgotten by some who oppose him,
but we hold it for an incontestable truth, that
neither men nor money will be forthcoming for
this war, if once the people are impressed with
the belief that the abolition of slavery and not
the defence of the Union is lis object"
Let Democrats and Republicans everywhere
meet this demonstration fairly and cordially. Let
men of all party creeds unite IN the work of sew
ering abolitionism from politics. and in driving
the radical emancipationist politicians into their
small separate existence, where North and South
can count them, as they used to, on their fingers.
Let all men support President Lincoln in his firm
stand on this vital question, and we shall soon
see the Southern masses casting off their lea RS,
and recognizing the President and the people of
the North their ancient friends and constitution
al defenders. This is a great opportunity. crit
cal period, and one that should be seized by all
patriotic Union-loving men. We believe that
this light which is breaking in the East may be
made to brighten to a perfect day of rejoicing
throughout the land, if it meets with that cor
dial greeting which such an indication ought to
command.-N. Y. Jour. of Commerce.

and have reason TO think that an expedition
will be organized also to attack the Texan seces-
sionists from the West. far as that is away. A
naval officer said to me the other day-t seems
as If the moment an American sees an English
man he thinks the latter is going to say some
thing about cotton-"Yo GU need not be afraid of
any want of cotton in England. BY October we

The condition to which the blockade has re-
duced many classes in the South is bad enough;
it will become still worse Tea, coffee and
clothing nearly exhausted, or have, as the
American phrase has il, "given out, because there
is none TO give out at ALL Lead, sulphur and
salt are very scarce Shoes, flannel, quinine,
beef and butter, cloth, tin and leather are in the
same category If the blockade be enforced the
distress and want of all things, save natural pro-
duce, will be intense.
And what is the end to bei There is notion
in some mems minds that there will be a compro-
mise-that strong Democratic reaction and
great peace party will arise which will Gust the
present Administration, and carry some measures
on which the North and South viii find base
to rest propositions for mutual agreement. To
my limited vision the idea seems quite illusory.
The South, if not beaten, will be content with no
terms short of independence" or domination"
The North is now irritated; pride and passion are
aroused, and the peace party is losing instead of
gaining ground, owing to the action of the Gov
eminent and to the violence of the population,
which have resulted in something very like ter
rorism. The freedom of the press has ceased to
exist in its full acceptation. Ii is guaranteed by
the Constitution, but that document which with
the empire created is not as old as thousands of
living men, is absolute as the constitutions of
Clarendon The grand jury of Westminster coun-
ty have presented batch Of five newspapers as

Mobs have, however, anticipated grand jury pre-
sentiments. The New York papers, which are
losing circulation and money, are delighted at
this wholesome rigor, and "cry havoc, and let
slip the dogs of war; ut their unfortunate breth-
rem, at the same time doing Fouquier Tinville to
perfection, and pointing out Others who ought to
be suppressed in the name of public safety"
Ominous and terrible words,
Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-10-16

Strange as it may appear, we are beginning to
look to the Eastward for signs of the end of the
war. Nor without reason. If that intimation
which has been given by the Republican Conven-
ton of Massachusetts be followed out by the Re-
publicans of New England, New York and the
West, and be accepted with frankness by the De-
mocracy, and the South learns, it will, that
radical abolitionism has been driven into its
proper and separate existence, we shall have
more hopes for the restoration of peace and
friendship than great victory on the Potomac
would give us. We alude of course to the fact
that Senator Summers speech in the Convention
fell still born, and that resolution looking to
emancipation of slaves was laid out on the table
and buried without honors or tears. Whenever
politicians of the North are willing to cut off alb
olitonism from politics and firmly discover the
principle of emancipation from all management
in the Political economy of the United States, we
believe that a strong conservative response will
he heard from the South, and that party will be
organized. and that of overwhelming force, which
will drive radical pro saveryism and sectionalism
and State Rightism into outer darkness. Then
we may hope for a glorious reunion.
If this could be accomplished, we do not be-
lieve that should hear the words compromise
or concession hereafter 1t would he of no use
to ask for any such arrangements, because a
hearty good feeling would be established that
would satisfy all men of allStates.
The grand object in the way OF the Union
now is Abolitonism one side and enmity to
Abolitiouism the other. These are the an
tagonistic extremes. They are distractions, but
ATTRACTIONS Introduced into politics, control men,
make mischief, and lead to wars.
Has not the moment arrived for general
agreement on this subject at the North We
heartily rejoice that the Boston Daily Advertiser,
the Boston Journal, the Springfield Republican,,
and other papers whose names might he mention
ed have come up to the question with sincerity
and frankness. 1t is not necessary that any pa
pers or individuals should lay down their private
opinions on the slavery question. We can differ.
if we do differ, ON the right or wrong of slavery
as question of morals, but as question of pol
itics we can all agree and do agree that under
the Constitution of the United States, Massachu-
sets has nothing to do witRslaves in South Car
DINA. If the time ever COMES when the institu
ton in the Territories, common property,
arises, we can either agree find arbitrators
among our own citizens, to whom we will trust
that And If we at the North can agree on this
subject and then present to the South a united
front, holding in one hand the overwhelming evil
dence that the North is not abolitionist, and in
the other hand the sword of the law and the
Government we may look for revolution among
the revolted States that viii do our work of res
toration most gloriously.
Massachusetts should take the lead in the work

Besides the dispatches we have copied. there
many others relating to the same NATTER and in
addition to all these efforts by correspondence the
Governor sent messengers no less than four tunes
TO follow up the clothing. or find tiff lost The
combined efforts of the Governors messengers
and Generals have succeeded in getting some Of
the clothing in the proper hands at last, and in
finding that large share of il is ruined some
where up the Kanawha. Mr.. Commissary Stones
report shows that although these unremitting eff
forts. had been made for weeks to get clothing to
our men, on the last week of September he found
them Gin the most destitute condition as to cloth
ing" They were in rags, hats and shoes worth
less, and only one, the 18th, supplied with great
coats.
This is the sum of all that the united efforts of
State and Federal authority could effect with the
impenetrable stupidity Of Western Virginia COM
missariat management in the way. Gen. Rey-
nolds's last dispatch shows that something had at
last began TO leak in through this barrier and we
have some hope that by the time the mountains
are few feet deep in snow our men will have a
reasonably comfortable supply of clothing. just
how it happens that the goods bought by mer-
chant can 60 from Cincinnati to Webster in four

The Governor and the Indiana
Troops.

We publish this morning statement, accom-
panied with the correspondence and dispatches,
showing that Governor MORTON has made every
effort in his power to procure from the proper
thorties winter clothing, and other needed supplies
for the Indiana volunteers, now in the service OF
the General Coy ernment. There can be no ques-
ton but that His Excellency has done his whole
duty in the matter. and whatever faults and short
comings there may be, they can not be attributed
to him. The statement developes the fact that
there is great restitution among our troops which
must, in a great measure, be relieved by the
individual efforts, generosity and patriot
ism of the people of Indiana. There
il no time 70 be lost in sending forward
contributions of blankets and socks to prevent
their suffering from the exposures to which they
are even now subjected, especially the troops in
the mountainous regions of Western Virginia.
While we differ in toto with the political views
and sympathies of Governor MORTON, we not
refrain from saying that he is entitled to great
credit for the extraordinary energy and industry
he has displayed in the management of the mill
tary affairs of Indiana, and his prompt response
in behalf of the State, to all the acquisitions of
the Federal Government since the first call of the
President for volunteers to suppress the rebellion
in the seeded States. The Indiana volunteers,
by their bravery and gallantry. have reflected
high honor upon the State, and given her a fame
which may justly excite the pride of all her citi-
zens

ssOur RIockade.-

The Cincinnati Gazette, the leading Republi-
can organ of the West, has been employed in
censuring the President for his modification of
FREMoNr's proclamation, and in defending the
policy and acts of the latter officer, and for the
apparent inactivity of the army Of the Potomac.
In its issue of yesterday, il enters upon new
theme, and discusses in the same style "our
blockade 1t pronounces the idea can imbe-
Gle mode of warfare" We ask our Republican
friends heaeabouts if they think the free speech"
of the Gazette is reasonable, and whether they
would tolerate Democratic papers in making at
tacks like the following upon the Administration.
which we copy from that priut:
The blockade of the Southern ports does not
amount to that hermetical sealing up which was
talked of when that and the passive defense of
the North was regarded as the wisest strategy for
s,lbduing the rebellion. Trade seems to be quite
lctive between Southern and foreign ports; and
il is likely that il will continue TO be. New Or
leans is, from its situation, supposed to be suscep-
tible of an effectual blockade; but the manner in
which the commander of the BROOKLYN allowed
the Sumter to escape, prevents the general pub
lie from entertaining any expectations from his
services, although they to be satisfactory to
the Government.
The British steamer Bermuda, long heralded,
with a cargo of munitions of war, steamed quiet
ly into the port of Savannah. Ii is said the
blockadng vessels were deluded away at the
proper time by cannonading on the coast.
Advices from the West India Islands men
ton the arrival of vessels at the various ports
from the South. The profit of a successful "trip
is so great as to encourage the taking of the
risk. and the risk does not seem to be very great
British vessels are taking active part ia the
trade. One way they have is to clear for West
India ports for Baltimore. run along the coast,
and il they find an opportunity, run into any OF
the Southern ports When Overhauled at sea
everything seems fair and legitimate. Ii is only
when caught i'm the act of entering port that
they can be seized; and this is difficult because
they will not make the attempt unless an oppor
tunity offers.
This dodge is hard to be stopped. Numerous
others will be tried and will be successful enough
to encourage the multiplication of trials Amy
idea of bringing the rebels to terms by cutting
off their supplies, might as well be given up. The
whole history of blockades ought TO show any
General that they are very poor foundation for
strategic policy. The idea was part of an
imbecile mode of warfare; and all military pol
icy that depended il and waited for it, must
necessarily have been imbecie. This war has
got to be prosecuted, if ever prosecuted, by fight
ing, by conquering the rebels in the field and in
to close by our blockade. nor by the starvation
or nakedness of the rebels. The sooner we adj
NIT that fact, the sooner we shall begin the war.
