BUY ONE OF
WEST AND WILSON'S
DOUBLE THREAD
FAMILY SEWING MACHINES.
PRICE, THIRTY DOLLARS.
This celebrated Machine was patented Juno2eth
"a 1858, and awarded the
FIRST PRE- M IU M,
At the Ohio State Fair, held at Sandusky, 1858,
and at every County Fair in the State,
where the same has been
exhibited.
This machine is now confidently offered to tho
public as the best q
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE
Now in use irrespective of Price.
We ask attention to the following points of
excellence in WEST d WILLsoss Machine.
1st It's simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This is great desideratum andin this we claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
ID. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
| is attached 10 a small wheel driven by a larger
one, instead Of to the long arm of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and direotness-
Sd. HE great power and directness of the
motion enables us to sew NIL fabrics, from gauze
to four thicknesses of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made TO run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
tho different thicknesses, from sheet of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
| dropping n stitch or breaking thread. We
know of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th. 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
| the original spools; unlike most machines, il
| will permit the seam 10 be turned at right an.
| giles at its highest speed; II has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heavi.
est garments, bedquilts, &c, and it will turn NJ
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions arc
regulated from above.
5th. The Machine will do a greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch
II will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBR0ID.
Err and CORD, and viii do neatly and rapid.
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
a similarstitch upon the highest priced machine
No machine will make and put upon garments

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

From Washington we have no exciting news.
4 rumor comes that the Rebels have advanced
their pickets TO within eight miles of Alexan-
dria, but the report rests on an insufficient
foundation. There is no news from the Lower
Potomac concerning the blockade by Rebel
batteries.
From Western Virginia We learn that the
Rebels are reinforcing their posts and fortifca-
tions at and around Winchester, aud that they
are fearful of an attack simultaneously by Gen.
Kelly from Romney, and by Col. Geary from
Sandy Hook. According to the common re-
port, the Rebels at Winchester number l5,OtO.
A letter from Springfield, Mo-, to st. Lonis,
said to be dated on the 9Th, and received at
the latter place on the 5th. declares that there
is no ill-feeng or lowness Of spirits in Ere
mont's army, that no enemy is in sight, and
that no battle is imminent. If the inIorma-
ton really comes by letter it could not well be
dated on the 9th, aud cannot, on the whole,
be considered entirely trustworthy. a dispatch
received at ST. Louis on Wednesday from
Gen. Fremont, then at Quincy, No., says thai
he would be at the former city on Friday,
with 4OS men. One handred and twenty Ma
tional troops were captured on Wednesday,
near Little Santa Ft, by the Rebels. The!
we're on their way 10 join Gen. Fremont
An expedition which left Cairo on Nednes-
day evening, supposed to be destined for Co.
Iunbus, KY, apparently met with warm re-
| ception from some parties on Thursday; ioi
heavy firing was heard from Cairo, end The
people there were in hourly expectation Of
bearing that Columbus was taken.
We have no further news from the Great
Southern Expedition; our correspondent at
Fortress Monroe, however, gives us an inter
esting letter concerning the recent gale and lt'
effects.
We print this morning an interesting letter
from our correspondent at Hatteras Inlet, con.
tanning an account of the arrest OF Col. Haw-
kins, of the 9th Regiment New-York Volun-
teers. an estimate Of the Rebel loss at the
time of the Monticello engagement, and q
statement as to the recent attack by the Rebel
gunboat Curlew.
We also publish q valuable letter from
correspondent in Louisville, concerning the
Union sentiment in Kentucky and Tennessee.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-11-08

A correspondent sends rs the following, which
le think. ought 70 be authoritatiyely denied, y
ii not true, viz:

3. We see nothing in tho above contract
which, il literally true, ixes the price Of army
shoes under the alleged contract at 81 20 per
pair.
4. If Col. w. has such a contract, and the
margin of profit is 25 cents per pair, we reckon
that he will lose money by the job unless he
gets his pay easier and faster than other con.

given up until the fortunes Of war shall have
gone heavily against them.
These obvious considerations, with others not
20 palpable, assure us that even if the loyal
States and the Government were ready to COZ
cede the independence of the Confederate re-.
bells, they would insist on further and most
operous concessions as the indispensable condi-
tions of peace. Our European advisers, who
talk so aippanty of tue preposterOus folly OF our
civil war, aud marvel that we do not let the
revolted States 90 and thus end the rulnous
strife, are darkening counsel by works without
knowledge. There is for US no road to Peace
which does not lead across fields destined 10

MARYLAND RIGHT

We congratulate the County on Ae result
of Wednesday's election in MARYLAND. Oi
course, We do not assume that the Seces,ionist.
polled their full strength; they could not be-
cause a good part Of it is over the Potomac,
fighting for jeff. Davis; and the readiness oi
the Federal authorities to pounce upon known,
active traitors doubtless kept many away from
the polls. The requiremeBt-we presume but
partially enforced-that every person challenged
should swear to support the Constitution Of the
United States was a bother to them, though
they, for the most part, take 0aths with sur
prising facility. Still, We admit that the poll
does not exhibit their fGll strength; il Is the
magnitude Of the Union vote that cheers US.
When Baltimore was completely in the hands
of her soldier killing, bridge-burning, telegraph
breaking mob, welded by aristocratic miscre-
ants, planting and mercantile, they had an
election all to themselves, and cast little over
1900 votes for their Southern Rights dele.
gati,n in the now utterly deiimct Legislature.
She has now chosen q Union delegation by
over IL, 600 votes, without considering tie $500
cast by the Secessionists. We presume they
have 10000 in all against 1900 Uni0nists,
aud that this is very nearly the relative strength
Of the two parties throughout the State. Oi
course, her new Legislature is strongly Union,
and all pretense Of carrying her out OF the Cnon
with any shadow OF legal formality IS at an
end. Her lower counties, especially those
on the Western Shore. are prepondernntly
] y. Il hat hpy if
not contain a fourth of her White Inhabitants.
Maryland declares that she will remain 10 the
Union, and if the rebels hereafter invade her,
they will do it es public enemies. ii IL clear
that the great mass Of her White mechanics,
miners, small farmers, &C., stand firmly BY the
Union of our fathers, and mean to live and die
under the old flag. And yet the coalition Of
her landhOldiug and mercantile aristocracy with
her ruffianism would have carried the State by
usurpation aud violence over to the rebel camp,
BY sheer violence aud terrorism, but for the
presence Of the Union soldiery.
We congratulate the Young Christians ol
Baltimore on the non-realization Of their dreary
apprehensOns Of peril and mischief to be ex-
perienced from the passage of Union regiments
through their city on their way to the POto'
mac. The process seems to have conduced
decidedly to the moral renovation and political
sanity of their State.

xNTEwpRrsING JOUBNALIsn.

We are not in the habit Of yaunting tue su-
periorty of THE TRIBUNE rs newspapers
but if we were, the late election would iurhl'h
us with a fair illustration. We employeu
corps of special reporters, who collected Inc
vote from all the election districts, save TWO or
three, where the canvassers were too chufilsh
TO give them the figures. Next morning, the
other Journals presented few beggary scatter
ing returns, and guesses, from which no iaea
could be gathered Of how the City had gone
while We gave the vote on State Oflieers, py
distriets. with only two districts missing; the
vote on Senate and Assembly complete; the
vote on Sheriff, District-Attorney, and County
Clerk. in all but nine districts, which could
not alter the results as well as tue SUPERVISOR
Judges. and Coroners elected. Thus, although
the canvass was unusually complicated a4d ana
tory. we collected after sundown on Tuesday
night from the 900 election districts oil the
City. returns of the votes On six tickets, ihciuu
inc nearly 100 candidates, and gave our read
ers the result on the following morning.
Twenty -four hours later, The Herald and
other city papers published incomplete
returns, in which 20 districts were wanting
on Secretary of State alone, % on At
torney General, 81 on Canal Commissioners
and an incomplete and erroneous mess oi
figures about two or three County Officers.
Tie Herald also gave what purported to be
complete report of the sherii's vote, the cor

We copy elsewhere, from The Cincinnati
Eacuirtr, an abstract of the report of the
Congressional Committee on the expenditures
and frauds n Gen. FremOnts department. This
abstract The Enquirer claims to be an au
thentc summary of the evidence, but does not
,tate how or from whom il obtained it. 1t
aiay be 3 perfectly fair statement or it may
be an altogether dishonest one, aud, as it is
published without any official authority, is
quite as likely to be one as the other. As
everybody at oil familiar with such matters
knows. an abstract of evidence may be mad,
70 reflect, even without any intention Of de-
seiying, the prejudices or precOnceiVed notion'
sf the writer.
These charges, so far as they concern Gen
Fremont are questions of extrayagance in eX
penditure. Without meaning to defend sucl
sxtraysgance, where it is proved, it is never
,heless quite proper TO remember that there i
nOt probably, single department OF the
army, hardly a single regiment, where there
aas not been, in the hurry Of organization, q
good deal Of inevitable waste, and, almost a;
,uegitably, good deal Of pccuiatiOn. We
cannot forget the wretched clothing aud shoddy
blankets provided in our own State, and that
.he clothing of even some Of the Massachusetts
soldiers, the State that was best prepared for
the emergency soon fell, early 10 the campaign,
into rags. These mistakes and frauds were
corrected as soon as possible, as, OF course,
they should be, and where fraud is detected il
.hould be vigorously punished. That poor
horses have been furnished by contractors
In Missouri, and paid for we can read :
y believe, for it bas happened in other
places beside Missouri. But have Maior-Gen-
srals elsewhere been held responsible for the
rascalities of subOrdi1ates, over whom, in the
nature of things, it is impossible for them 10
have personal supervision The charges OF
this abstract, IL seems to US, If they touch
Gen. Fremont at all, do 30 only because be
was iie commanding General of the district
where they occurred, and not because he was
personally cognzant Of the acts IL uitice t.
him. moreover, we should remember that he
had not at his side the vast machinery Of the
Government with inczhaustibe resources to
take the responsibility Of the expenditure Of
money, and the making Of contracts, but that
with limited resources, and with on army TO
create out Of the crudest materials, he was
compelled to leave much to subOrdinates, and
that he could only bring the ability of one mau
to the work of being G mmander-in-C Chief, War
Department. Treasury Department, and the
Government generally. When the whole report
