THE COAST Observation-Disclosures TO Mr.
SEwARD's LETTER--Mr Stewards letter, calling
on the Governors of Northern States to fortify
the harbors, has been responded to with great
patriotism and promptitude. and everywhere it
has given much satisfaction. Already are
opcratios being commenced. For in
stance, heavy guns are now being con-
veyed from Governors Island to Fort Rich
mond, at the Narrows, where they will
be placed in position Immediately. This fort
will mount one hundred and forty guns, of which
one hundred and sixteen will be for the case
mates, and the remainder will be placed en- bar
bette. We have also much pleasure in referring
to the letter of Captain Foster, in another CO.
lumn, who says that by the ist of December, or
at farthest on the 18th, he will be ready to put
in position in the fort at Sandy Hook sixty guns
OF the largest calibre. We have no doubt
that this activity will be emulated in other
States, and we hope that wherever guns are
mounted they will be all OF the new and i'm
proved kind and Of very heavy calibre and
that the old guns, useless against the modern
naval armaments of Europe. will BE- removed
and the superior arms substituted. 1t is in this
way that we will prevent foreign war, and even
such insulting letters as that of Lord Lyons.

The Cry AMUSING lfsELf.-It is very
curious and gratifying circumstance that, in
the midst OF i sturcndous and most costly war,
our citizens support no less than twenty places
Of public amusement. That is the best com
mentary that can be given on the mournful
predictions that used to be INDUCED in as to
the effect which war would have upon this COM
mercial metropolis. So long as we have the
taste and means of sustaining a score of theatres
and concert rooms, we cannot have suffered
very severely either in spirits or in pocket,

change of prisoners. That communication was
actually written sheet of Congress letter
paper, with an engraving of the Capitol at

The POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE CRY AND THEIR
NAMEs.--From present appearances the voters
of the city of New York will have a Herculean
task to select their ticket to vote on the first
Tuesday Of November next. There are already
some thirteen tickets in the field, and fair pros
pect of score more to be trotted out before
election. The following are the names OF those
organizations, parties, combinations, clubs,
committees &c, that have already gone
through the formality Of nominating
ticket, namely:-Mozart, Tammany, Repub-
lican, Twcnty-third street Union, ST. Nj
cholas Union, Taxpayers Union. Fifth avenue
Union, German Union, Workingmen's Union,
Cooper Institute Union, Forty Thieves Union
German Democratic Club and Independent
Judging from the way the politicians are at
work, the only thing that prevents the nomina
ton Of several other tickets is The want of names
to apply to their organizations and clubs. viii
some person favor them with new list of
namesy Some of the tickets now in the field
will be put up at auction in the course of a
week or ten days, and knocked of TO The highest
bidder

ENORMOUS EXPORT OF MISUNDERSTANDING
the last week there were exported from New
York to Europe 1877 SAG bushels Of grain and
1884 barrels of flour, estimated to be worth
two and quarter millions Of dollars Now
there cannot be any immediate necessity in
Europe for such enormous imports of brsad-
stufis. Ii seems very like making provision he
forehand for the possible contingency OF war
with the United States. The bulk Of the pur-
chases now being made are by the agents
of the government of France or of Eng
land. These signs ought not to be over
looked, and the effect ought to be to make
the federal government and all the North
crn State governments vigiant and active, so
that if any European Power should venture to
attack us we may be in position to give it a
warm reception.

A SLIGHT MIsCALcUIArToN.-In the inception
of this Southern rebellion the absolute power
of King Cotton was the controlling idea Of
Southern Confederate traitors. For example,
in a prophetic speech at Columbia, South Caro-
lima, Gov. Manning declared that, in the evenx
Of war, if necessary, the armies of England and
France "would stand TO guard its peaceful and
uninterrupted cultivation (cotton), and their
men-of-war would line our coasts to guard il
(cotton) in its transit from our ports" Well,
upon this idea our cotton States have been
plunged into this mad rebellion; but where are
these European allies of King Cotton, these
protecting armies and fleets of England and
France? They are not forthcoming, nor can
Trey afford to come. Upon this little miscalcu-
lation, therefore, of Davis, Yancey, Sldell s.
Co., King Cotton is already dethroned. and this
cotton rebellion will soon fall to pieces

The PACIFIC TELEGRAPH LNE.--We yesterday
published congratulatory message sent by
Brigham Young--who, by-thc-by, assures us,
that Utah is firm for the Union-on the opening.
of the Pacific Telegraph line to Salt Lake City,
which took place at one p. NJ, on the 18th inst
We are therefore in direct telegraphc commu-
nication with the Mormons in Utah, and in
few weeks, we are informed, the line will be
completed to the city Of San Francisco. The
work of the pony express will then be done in
a twinkling, and New York and California will
be within an easier speaking distance than New
York and Coney Island. This will not only be-
very convenient, but of excellent effect in bring.
ing the Californians nearer home, and making
them feel if possible, deeper interest in every
thing transporting in the Atlantic States. 1t will
give an impetus to our California trade, and
place us in possession Of news from Japan and
China within a month or six weeks. A few
years ago such project would have been
laughed at; but now it is all but an accomplish
ed fact. When we can exchange messages with
California in one day, people Of either ocean
will be unwilling to suffer much delay in tho
transmission of letters by mail, and a more
rapid postal communication is certain to follow
Thus, whichever way we look at it, this new
feature in telegraphic enterprise presents
number of advantages, not only to the govern
ment and mercantile community, but to the
public at large.

MoDEsrY OF KENTUCKY CoNaREsssfAN.-M
Burnett, Of Kentucky, the rebel member
in the last House of Representatives, il q
specimen brick Of secession modesty Not
content with pocketing cool thousand
or two of Uncle Sans dollars, as pay foo
his services during the last session
which services were avowedly in the cause Of
treason-we are told that he actually proposed
to negotiate with the Sergeantat-Arms, or one
of his deputies, for next sessions pay and
mileage. Burnett may have the impudence ia
present himself and take his seat in the next
House; but if he does not soon find himself ex-
PEELED from that body, and committed to the
hospitality Of the commandant of Fort Lafayette
we shall be little surprised. AT all events,
whoever would commute with him for his pay
and mileage would be very apt to find himself
sadly victimized.

AMERICAN EXPENDITURES N EUROPE FOR WAR
PuRPosEs-The report that our government
had despatched an official to Europe with a,l-
thority to expend large amount of money
there in the purchase Of woollen goods for
army purposes has very naturally excited q
great deal of dissatisfaction among the manu-
featuring classes of the loyal States; and the
manifestation Of that feeling has led to coun-
termand Of the order. A similar statement was
made some time ago in reference to the purchase
of transport vessels used in the Crimean expe-
diton 1t is quite right that neither of these
ideas should be carried ont, and we are glad
that they have been abandoned. La us con-
tnuc to present to the world the proud specta-
Gle of our ability to carry on an immense war
from our own resources alone, without foreign
aid Of any sort, and at the same time to supply
to the tceming millions of Europe the bread
stuffs, without which they would be exposed to
The tcrrors of famine We doubt ifsuch spec-
tacle was ever before presented.

SECRETARY CAMBRoN's TRIP TO MIssOURL-In
his late official visit to the military Department
of Missouri, the Secretary Of War doubtless
remembered that sound old maxim, that if you
want anything properly done you must look
after it yourself. Thus in this visit, 10 say
nothing OF general useful information thus de-
rived, General Cameron has been enabled to
cut off lot of useless military Missouri
Fremont jobs involving saving of perhaps
several millions of dollars to the Treasury
We hope that Secretary Cameron will Rext
undertake Northward an official tour Of per-
sonal inspection.
