Commercial Revolution in the United

1lALGla
In the midst Of the ruins of an immense
commerce that has grown up and prospered
in the United States for the last twenty
years, Notwithstanding the temporary re-
vulsions produced by oVertrading-a com
merce founded on peace and the integrity
of the Union-anotber kind Of commerce
now takes its place in the loyal States. 1t
is q commerce founded on war, and it is
destined to work revolution in the busi-
ness operations Of the North. As in our
war with England in 1S12-15, many
branches Of trade sprsug un, and as in the
war Of Great Britain with the elder Nspo-
leon. numerous branches of English manu-
fac5ures were stimulated into uncommon
activity. so will it be now in The Northern
States Of the American Republic. The or
dinsry channels Of trade are either COM
pletely closed or partially obstructed; but
q new business is springine up There are
$500, 900 600 to be expended, and 100000
men to be employed in the war Their
outfit, end all that is necessary for the op
erstioDs of the army and navy, will give 9
tremendous impetus to those branches Of
trade which are directly or indirectly con-
neeted with the war. There viii be an ex-
penditure of at least a million daY-far
exceeding the whole Southern trade lost
for the present. What vast circulation
Of money viii thus be created in the com
munilyl The whole currency of the coun-
try, amounting to S150000,000, will be
superseded by the Treasury notes of the
government, with the exception of some
little corners of no account. The $50, 900,
900 Of specie on hand in New York and in
Boston will be only used to pay the bal
ances between this country and Europe
But these balances will be very small, for
the Morrill, tariff will nearly prevent all
imports, and we viii have to manufacture
for ourselves. Thus most Of the gold will
be retsined in the country, and employ
ment will abound. Trade and commerce
will be revived in October and November
next and will increase throughout the
winter. Cloths, iron, manufactures Of
wood, and everything needed for an army
and navy, will be in urgent demand. A
revival Of trade. arising from the new cir.
cumstanoes and necessities of the country
will bring happy change over the pres
ent dssolation, and thousands will have
reason to rejoice Of course the enormous
expense Of feeding and equipping an army
and navy Of such vast proportions will fsl
upon posterity, and We will only hsve It
pay the interest of the debt while we viii
reap the full benefits of the investment
Thus new commercial revolution vii
take place in the Northern States, ant
those who have foresight will make i'm
mense fortunes, while employment will b
| given 10 numbers who are now idle AM
destitute, and oil these thinge will work 70
the restoration Of the Union and the ulti
mate happiness and prosperity Of tn
American people.

BSneS Of a Mastodon Discovered In OhIO
A correspondent of the Athens Messen
ger gives description Of the remains of q
mastOdOn found in the bed of Sinking
Run, tributary Of Wolf Greek, in Morgan
county, Ohio: l-asH
"a grinder was seen by some boys while
bathing in q hole where the water was
very clear, and about four feet deep; the
tooth being in state Of good preservation.
II measured on its face about seven inches
in length, by about three and one half in
breadth, with roots about seven inches
long. Its weight when found, was Ave
and one half pounds, aud on the face or
crown is much worn.
"0ther teeth, and great variety of
bones we're taken out; some Of which
showed their former colossal size only by
the huge proportion Of their remains a
jsW-bOne was found nearly entire, and said
to be thirty inches in length, and about
tWenty-four in breadth in its widest part
The most interesting relic was one Of the
vertebr@ in Q state of complete preserva-
ton, except the cartilages. The body, or
maln suuu pOIuohi "as VliPtioaA AZ shuPol
measuring six inches in its major axis, and
five in its minor. The shortest diameter
Of the spinal cavity formerly filled with
the spinal narrow was two and one-half
inches; its greatest about four inches.
Measuring across this from side to side,
the distance was eleven inches between the
prominenoes to which the ribs have been
attached. In measuring from the short
projection on the back directly across, the
distance was thirteen inches. By oompar-
ing these dimensions with those Of the yer
tebr@ of the OK, or horse, some Idea of this
extinct race Of monsters may be found,
Most of the bones lay under about four
feet Of earth"

A Rehel Endornement.

That rebel sheet the Richmond (Va.)
Whig, thus endorses Clement L. Ysllsndig-
ham and his late secession hsrangue:
aThere are still few, with souls unsub-
dued, st the North. The very Bmallness
Of the number only serves to mark the
depth Of degradation 10 which the great
mass Of that people are sunk. Mr.. Vsllan-
digham is one Of these few. he has made
6 speech in exposition Of the Administrs-
tion's usurpatiOns worthy Of the better
days Of the Republic. But it passed con
temned and unregarded by the infatuated
creatures, who have lost all sense Of public
liberty. We put it on record as testimony
against the denominations Of the times, and
q proof Of the existence Of one upright and
fearless man among the nineteen millions
Of Yankee serfs."
Ivory man who casts his suffrage for the
ticket put in nomination BY Vsllandigham,
Medary & Co., can have the satisfaction of
just such an endorsement as that from the
journals in the interest of rebellion. Val
landigham, through his man Friday, Of
the Dayton Empire, more than any other
msn, is responsible for the reasonable 40.
zion Of the so-ealled "DemocratiC" Conven-
lion which convened at Columbus on the
7th. BE is the pet Of secessionists and the
companion Of the traitor Breekinridge, the
twain visiting Baltimore together for the
purpose of inducing q riot and insuguIat-
Ing civil war in Maryland. How many
Democrats who revere the memory Of JEFF
ferson and jackson will give their support
to such movement The people are nov
ing, and their answer viii be such as to
forever silence traitors in Ohio.

Give those youths who are neither politi-
clans nor the sons of politicians chance.
Let admittance to the Military Academy of
the Great Republic be based upon demo-
cratic principles. Let boys own intelli-
gence. genius, moral worth, be the needed
qualifications, and not his fathers wire pull
ing talents or the number of votes be can
control Let board of examiners be sp-
pointed in every Congressional District, and
let all youths between certain Rges be ems
bled to present themselves for examination
and the most worthy be selected.-N. z.
Tablet.
We cordially endorse every word of the
above, and would hope to see the suggestions
acted upon by members of Congress. Hon.
J. R. Giddinga, when in Congress, always,
when be had this duty to perform, gave the
nomination to the applicant who was possess
ed of the poorest opportunities of securing
an education in any other way, provided he
were intelligent and worthy. His example
is worthy of imitation.

The Republican State Committees Of New
York, Ohio, and Vermont have proposed to
the Democratic State Committees Of those
States to lay aside all party designations
and predictions, and in the approaching
election give TO the people popular ticket
pledged only TO a vigorous prosecution Of
the war, the re establishment of the Con-s
stitution, and the enforcement Of the Fed
eral law In making such q proposition
the Republicans can be moved by no other
motive than love Of country and the as
sertion of the rights Of popular Govern
ment They might have asked for support
as q party, so fortified as they have been
By events; but they prefer to lay aside all
party name and claims, and rally with all
their fellow countrymen ss patriots to the
nations defence. To their appeal there
has been as yet but one reply-that signed
BY Dean Richmond and Peter Gsgger Of
this State. Il was, perhaps, expecting too
much to suppose that Committee Of which
these two gentlemen ara the principal off,
GERS, and Mr.. Ben Wood 3 person Of i'm
portance, could even comprehend that for
the couutry's sake q party could be for q
time forgotten. Their answer TO the Re-
publican Committee. and their call for 3
Democratic State Convention, show that
more and worse than this is true. In the
livery Of Democracy they hope more effect
ually to serve the cause of treason. I'm
der the specious guise Of party principles
they mean to eozen the people who still
cherish the old party name, aud cheat them
into betrayiug the cause in defence Of
which they are ready to shed their best
blood, 10 spend and be spent. They cater
SO far To popular enthusiasm as to talk " Of
the vigorous prosecution Of the war;" but
they mean vigor to be slleyiated by the
Iasost liberal proffers Of peace Pa psacC
that can only mean dishonor.-NeO YoTl
Tribune.
Since the penning Of the above para
graph one reply" more has been made
that Of the demagogues Of Ohio who are
more partisan than pstriotio-men who
in the name Of Democracy seek to drag tn
loyal State Of Ohio into the disgrace o
sympsthi1ing with treason and oFerinl
humilisting terms Of peace 70 rebels ii

THE SECRETARY OF WAR TO GENE.
. RAJ BUTLER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. II.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II.
The Secretary Of War has sent a letter
to Gen. Butler in reply to his communica-
tiOn regarding the disposition Of fugitives
The letter, after discussing the matter
pretty fully, concludes by saying:
"Under these circumstances, it seems
quite clear that the substantial rights of
loyal masters are still best protected by re-
ceiving such fugitives as well as disloysl
masters into the service of the United
States, and employing them under such
organizations and such occupations as cir
cumstsnces may suggest or require. Of
course q record should be kept showing the
name and description Of the fugitiyes, and
such facts as may be necessary for cor
rect understanding Of each case. When
tranquility shall have been restored, Con-
gress will doubtless properly provide for
all the persons thus received into the SER
vice Of the Union, and for Just compen-
sation to loyal masters. You will, how
ever, neither authorize nor permit any in
reference by the troops under your COM
mand with the servants of peaceful citi-
zeDs in house or field, nor will you in any
way encourage such servants TO leave the
lawful service Of their masters, nor will
you prevent the voluntary return Of any
fugitive to the service from which be may
have escaped. (signed)

Secretary of War.

r-aa Florida. July "a. 1861.

q Correspondence Of the N. I. Tribune.
CANP BRowN, SANTA Rosa ISLAND, !
Florida, July "a, 1861.
When I last wrote We were ali laboring
under excitement occasioned by being up all
night in heavy rain, securing the woods in
search OF the enemy. It is no childs play
this travelling over sand hills, one minute on
q mountain and the next in a swamp, up to
your waist in mire. The men are somewhat
affected from exposure to the sun, and dial
rhea and dysentery, through inprudence in
their diet and drinking too much water,
which is very plenty. We obtain water by
digginga hole six to twelve inches deep in
the sand, and placing a board therein. l
cadse all the companies 70 dig fresh wells
every two days, as they become filled in that
time with snakes frogs and young alliga-
tora.
We can see our enemy over the river hard
at work, daily, as distinctly as you can see
across the street, and il seems hard that we
must look on quietly and allow him TO pro-
ceed. It will come, however, shortly, and
when 1t does the lesson we can and will
teach these rebels will be fearful They have
| fortihestioDs and batteries all along the har-
Dor opposite for four miles We can swim
easily across. We have no houses to de-
stroy, but they have thousands.
Two hundred men sre now engaged build
ing plank roads from the fort to the SAND
batteries and sea shore, TO carry supplies to
the fort and camps Two hundred more are
working boats, unloading the ships at anchor
two miles from shore. Our pickets extend
ont two miles, and we are in no fear Of q
surprise Should the enemy make a landing
on this island they will be warmly welcomed
and should they drive Us before them, they
llhave TO fght every inch of ground unit
we reach the fort and there they never car
defeat Us. There are now upwards Of 7OC
United States regulars inside Of Fort Piekens
The weather here is excessively hot
