How HARPER's FERRY WAS TAKEN.-The
passage of the secession ordinance by the
traitor convention Of Virginia was at first Sc
cret and before its PRONUNCIATION at Richmond,
the delegates from the Harper's Ferry region
had returned to their homes. The instant Of
their arrival there they summoned together
the militia officers Of their neighborhoods, told
them that another John Brown raid " had
been made at Harper's Ferry; and that they
had been sent by Gov. Letcher, in obedience 10
a reqisition made by President Lincoln, to call
out the militia to repel the invasion. This
appeal was promptly responded to, and Har
per's Ferry was taken possession Of by a body
of men who believed they were acting under
the authority of the United States Government
and whe never understood their true position
until, after few days, they found strangers
secession leaders from the South, supersedine
their officers, and strange soldiers from distau
parts looking with suspicion upon themselves
DR.. Funsten, Of White Post, Clarke county
at present distinguished as proscriptive ant
cruel officer of rebels in that region, was pc
culiarly adroit and energetic in consummatine
this great act Of villainy, which, like almos
every act as yet performed by the rebel horde
is characterized by meanness, falsehood, and
fraud, toward the loyal and peace loving por
ton Of their own citizens.

Of The disposal Of the remains Of the volunteers
who die In the hospitals. Our sick comrades
are taken from regimental hospitals, sent 10
some Of the city infirmaries and this Is the last
we hear from them until they return TO camp,
If indeed they ever do. Some die and are bu.
ried, their companions and friends learning
nothing Of their fate, until, probably, weeks
afterwards, when they may chance to have &C
cess to the hospital books. where they may find
upon record that "A. B." died ct certain
date, but how or where he was buried they
must remain forever ignorant. Could not
case of death be reported to regimental author
tiles, so that deputation from their own com
panies might forward the remains Of their
comrades to bis friends, or see them properly
inferred, and his last resting place marked? :?
It is In vain that we apply for permission to
enough to become an inmate Of one Of these
institutions. Such requests are uniformly re
fused by regimental commanders. There are
those who stand as high, socially and political
ly, as do the field, staff, or line officers, whe re-
fuse them the privilege Of caring for sick or
dead comrade. There Is certainly privation
enough to such as these, without the assurance,
that should they be so unfortunate as to sink
under some Of the various diseases incident to
the camp and field, they must be consigned to
an unknown grave.
On the field of battle, or on the forced march,
we expect and are prepared to meet all these
things, but here, within reach of our friends
and almost within sight of the hailing sign Of
distress, 1t is asking too much, and we think
ought to be remedied. F.

CoupcArrSo AND FREEING NEoRoEs--The
Louisville (Ky.) Journal Of the 18th instant
says: -.
ave have Just seen dispatch, dated WASH
ington, September IL, and from the highest
authority, which states that the corrections de-
sired by the Union men Of Kentucky In Ere
mont's proclamation on the two points, the
turning loose Of conhscated negroes, and the
penalties attached to men who may have taken
up arms for day only, and afterwards served
the United States faithfully. will be made i'm
mediately. Werepest, these two points will be
corrected. The confscated negroes will not be
set free"
This paragraph shows the prevalence Of the
error, that the popularity which distinguish.
ed Gen. Fremonts proclamation from the con.
fscation act passed by Congress, was in " turn
ing" negroes loose" or setting" them ".free.' ,
The act does that, just as much as the procla
nation, only the act embraces less numerou,
class Of negroes. But so far as 1t operates al
all, it emancipates negroes, or turns" then
loose"

COTTON.

On the 9Th instant, the stock OF cotton at
Liverpool was estimated at ss7 900 bales, of
which $4,000 bales were American. This was
an eighteen-weeks' supply for consumption and
for export to the continent of Europe, even If
both continued upon an undiminished scale.
The manufacturers, however, were beginning to
reduce the consumption, and this, not merely
from an apprehended failure in the supply Of
the raw material, but because many of their
markets for cotton goods were glutted. This
last aspect Of the case is strongly insisted upon
by commercial writer for the London Times +,
who even maintains that the manufacturers
have been spinning and weaving so much in
advance of demand, that it would be for their
interest so to reduce their operations, as to
make the present stock Of raw cotton, with the
additions to 1t from other sources than Amer
lea, hold out until the lst of October, 1862.
There can be no question that the English cot.
ton manufacturers, like the American manufac-
turers, did not reduce their production during
the summer, in proportion to the diminution
in the consumption, and that an accummula.
ton OF manufactured goods has been the con-
sequence.
Liverpool is continually receiving supplies
Of raw cotton, chiefly from India. How much
may be received from that quarter is mere
question Of prices. At the last advices from
Bombay, there were 100000 bales there on
oter," If exporters to England would pay more
than the native manufacturers. The receipts
of India cOttOn at T,iyarnool Deyt vaor will
be one million Of bales or two millions, accord.
ing to the prices which may rule.
1t is now said that the crop Of cotton which
is coming off at the South, will be seriously
diminished by heavy and unreasonable rains
in August. 1t may fall to three millions Of
bales, but there will be enough of it, at any
rate, and it will be brought ont in abundant
season, and obtained at low prices. Nobody
will need pound of it for six months yet.

INDUSTRIAL CONDITION OF THE FREE
STATES.


A statement of the gross earnings OF the
leading railroads in the free States and OF the
Erie canal, for an average period OF eight
months past, shows an increase, as COM
pared with the corresponding period Of last
wear, Of S. 30l, ,l39, or about thirteen per cent.
The figures last year were $26,24256s. They
are now $29,543,707.
This war, 80 far as the free States are con-
cerned, is not civil war, but one wholly ex-
ternal. No hostile foot treads any part of their
soil, aud their internal peace is perfectly un-
disturbed. The same thing, indeed, is true OF
the greater part OF the South, the pc 2uliar Ca
lamity of civil war being confined to Missouri
and portions of Virginia and Kentucky.
The total white population Of the eleven
Confederate States is 5,45O,7l1, and this in
cludes Virginia, Of which q portion, contain
ing 4OO,OO white people, is not only tho
roughly loyal, but actually in the possession
of the national forces and under the national
jurisdiction in all respects. But this total
white population of the Confederate States is
largely exceeded by the mere increase, within
the last ten years, Of the population of the
loyal States, which was 6,492,O4s. This in
crease is still going on, and now probably at
the rate Of 100000 per annum, and would soon
make an equivalent for the loss of the South
ern trade, even II that loss became total and
final The commerce of the great cities of the
North rests upon no such contemplate and
precarious basis as that of the rude industry Of
q few negroes engaged in raising cotton. 1t
rests upon the fertility and resources Of con.
tinent, and upon the swelling numbers of q
of New York, which is to surpass London, will
be none the less surely accomplished if all thu
Gulf States were, by some convulsion Of nature
submerged in the ocean.
The principal loss to the free States from tn
present war, was In the loss Of debts due from
the South, not less than two hundred million
of dollars being computed to have been due t.
New York alone. But this Is a loss to be sui
fered but once. It lie not o continuing loss
The shock has been met and borne, and, al
though individuals are hopelessly ruined ID
already recovered from in national sense.
Indeed, in general view, it is not more than
half true, that this loss resulted from the war
1t was really made when the credits were given
to the cotton States. The particular debts due
when this war broke out, might have been prn
cipally paid, if peace had been preserved, bu
only by mourning new debts. There has beer
no time within generation, when the cottol
States had the means to pay what they owed
Their bankruptcy has been really chronic, al
though concealed by facilities of credit whicl
enabled them to nominally liquidate old debt
by contracting new ones
