chnses needed merchandise. Manufactures long
dormant are daily starting into fresh activity.
Probably more Wooden Fabrics are being manu-
featured in this country now than have been be-
fore since the Tariff of 1916 took effect; and
Cotton Fabrics would likewise be produced more
extensively but for the scarcity and dearness of
the raw material. Meantime, ingenious and en-
ergetic men are quietly at work upon Flax ma
chinery improving here and combining old I'M
prOyements there, until it is already plain that
Flax will largely rival Cotton within the next
ten years. King Cotton has only to keep himself
immured in his castle a little longer and be WI
return to find his throne more worthuy ana
benefcently filed than it has ever yet been.
We are to have hard Winter in all the COM
mercial cities, yet we think not so hard as was
threatened few weeks ago. For the business
now springng up is real; it grows out OF actual
wants and pressing needs. Few expensive
Injuries are published; our weekly import OF
Dry Goods is still very light; and the proper
ton of Home to Foreign Manufactures required
and consumed is probably greater than ever be-
fore. We doubtless miss the Southern trade;
The purchases Of our Free.State country mer-
chants are certainly lighter than they would be
in prosperous times; but this may not be IN the
large view undesirable. Without the help OF
Cotton OF Tobacco, we are paying for OIL We inn

our own energies are so largely eDgrossed BY

safely count on immunity from another such

unanimously resolve that they viii never more
sell their wares and fabrics for anything that
will not readily buy at least an equal amount to

BUSINESS.

The breaking out of a civil war, whereby the
country was suddenly riven into two hostile Sec
tiOns, with common frontier some two thou
sand miles in extent, could not but work fear.
| ful disruption and staghstion in business.
| Products previously in large aud eager demand
became all at once unstable; manufactures and
workshops were necessarily closed; hundreds Of
thousands were thereby thrown out Of employ
ment; while debts could not be collected and
lost all present, available value, precipisatiDg
whole classes from wealth and luxury into bank
ruptcy and diatrcss. War is at all times
destroyer, but We doubt that it ever before
caused such extensive pecuniary disaster as in
the experience Of this country, and especially Of
its chief commercial cities, in the year Of grace
1861.
New.York has endured her full share of this
calamity. She was largely a creditor of the
South, and rebellion was held by her debtors
throughout the Seeded States as receipt in
full for the amount Of their obligations. Not
that a part of them have not protested, and per-
haps cherished vague intent to pay some time
or other, but there was no sOlace in this for
the present suferings of our Frustrated mer.
chants. Not less than Two Hundred Millions Of
Southern Indebtedness to our city was blotted
out as in a night, and the prospect of its re-
viysl has been and is 80 remote and dubious
that it can hardly be considered property. 1t
can at best be regarded as dim possibility of
future cash.

property. How far is it safe to establish such
precedent in regard to martial law If it would
be good for twelve days it would be equally
good for twelve months, and it is impossioie 10
say how serious complication might not arise
in such a conflict of authority. 1t is to be pre-
sumed, however, that the subject was carefully
considered in all its bearings, and the questions
oil answered by the understanding that martial
law and all its consequences as proclaimed by
Gen. Fremont, have full force from August 81
to September III.
The Government cannot be obliviOus to tho diff
cultes that surround this question as regards the
slaves themselves. 1t will be mistake to un-
derrate their intelligence, or to tempt them
to excuses by any yaciating policy. 1t is by
no means improbable that the Government VIII
have to take under its protecting care and re-
duce to habits of industry and good behavior
large numbers emancipated by tho Act OF Con-
iiscation. This number may be much larger than
ia now spprehended. AS the law now stands
the bride of emancipation is, curiously enough,
offered to all those who will take up arms against
us. or, in any way, aid and abet rebellion. slave
has only to persuade bis master to permit bin to
dig in trench or follow q camp in any menial
service under pretense of the love of massa, and
he becomes, ipsO Jaeio, ffee; while the slave who
remains at home and is compelled by circum-
stances or contryes to avoid giving aid to the
rebellion, is to be continued slave. Ii Is a
premium on instruction; rcwnrd for aiding
our enemies; direct incentive to do us harm,
that we may do them good; an argument Tor
pushing rebellion to eXtrcmities, tho force OF
which VIII not be lost upon slaves who, they
will believe, are, ia any event, to be the gam
eTs. The fact will be pointed ut nvhlstory as a
curious evidence Of our national iorgetuness, OF
the fact that a black man is q sentent being.
If emancipation is boon at AL it would seem
that il should have been offered to those who do
not lather than those who do aid and abet the
n.urrection. 1t may be that General FremontS
method Of dealing with the question Will DC found
after all the wiser, and that both loyalists aud
rebels will be bound most readily to obedience
By being taught that the only tenure by which
they hold their property is peaceful return to
their allegiance to the Federal Union.

We have ayOi led all discussion Of the charge!
that have in various quarters been urged agains
MsiOr-GeD. Fremont, because we supposed tina
tbey must soon appear to be unfounded and tina
discussion would only magnify what was not o
great importance in itself; but since the matte
has gone so far that his resignation has eyel
been reported and since the public mind hal
become much excited on the subject, we deem
it proper to attempt to relieve the subject Of
any exaggerated proportions that it may have
gained among those who have not had access to
sources Of correct information.
First, however, of the arrest Of Col. f. p.
Blair, jr., which was reported in our ST. Louis
dispatches, published yesterday morning. 1t was
stated in those dispatches that Col. Blair had
been put under arresS for using disrespectful
language to his superior. This, we believe, is not
exactly correct; the real ground of the arrest we
understand to be that Col Blair bad written
letters to the President, and to at least one
member of the Cabinet, charging Gen. Fremont
with ineffciency, and with extravaganza in the
expenditure Of money.
1t is true that these communications are
clearly in violation of the army regulations; but
1t should not be forgotten, in justification of Col
Blair, that be is not merely the commander of a
regiment of Missouri volunteers, but a prominent
statesman, and in that capacity has been in the
habit of writing freely to the President and
others, and this habit he has no doubt kent IN
since the arrival Of Gen. Fremont at 81
Louis. But we alude to this matter as
merely an incident in the affair; for we arc con.
fident that any difference of judgment between
Col. Blair and Gen. Fremont any warmth Of
feeling which may have grown out Of such q DIFF
ference, cannot be allowed to cause permanent
enlargement or discOrd between them. The
charges which have been brought against FIRE.
mont in the press or elsewhere we propose to
explain without any unkindness toward any one,
least Of all toward a personal friend and tried
patriot like Francis p. Blair, ir.
With regard to the charge Of inefHciency on
the part of the MsjOr-General, we believe that
it must be admitted by the latter that he has
not accomplished what he intended when hs as
sumed command at ST. Louis. This is due, how
ever not TO any fault of his but to the fact that
tie exgences Of the public service have CON-
PEELED the Government to interpOse hindrances to
movements that he had prepared, and from which
large results might have been expected. Thus arms
on which he had counted have been turned away
from their destination and put to other uses; and

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

All continues quiet at Washington. The indi-
cations of an attack on the National lines by the
Rebels are not SO marked as they were few
days ago, AID many of those whose opinion is
valuable de dare that such an attack will not be
made for some weeks; others, however, predict
an almost immediate battle. Meanwhile, there is
nothing for the public to do bat to await the
event with tranquility, assured that when the
Rebels do provoke conflict they Will be sig

900 600 men III position to operate speedily on
the Capital They have begun to draft men ex-
tensiyely in Virginia and other States. lntorma-
ton by an escaped prisoner says that they are
wretebedly clothed and that their spirits are
sour.
IL is reported, though the story is not con-
frme], that on Monday battle was fought at
Lexington, Mo-. between the national troops aud
Martin Green's Rebels, and that most of the lat
ter were captured.
Gov MagofTu Pas sent to the Kentucky Legis-
laiuro Message communicating dispatch from
Gen. Zollicofer, the Rebel announcing that the
safety of Tennessee demanded the occupation Of
Cumberland and the three long mountains in
Kentucky, and that he had done so, intending TO
retain his position till the national troops are
Withdrawn, ard their camp broken up.

Union to fill such a regiment.

Queer Anecdotes.

The past week has brought to us some of
the strangest looking beings ever seen in this
city. So far as can be ascertained these gen.
tIemen arc applicants for clerkships in the
departments here, having letters and petitions
to the secretaries, signed by local clergy, their
friends and townsmen and the schoolmasters
of their districts, who in nearly every case is
the author Of their petitions. One man called
upon Mr. Chase yesterday, having with him
his wife and children, and expected, as he
expressed it, to te set right to work. He
came from Indiana The children, wife. aud
the baggage were all up to the Secretary's
Office.
This little incident actually occurred at
The State Department during Mr.. Marcy's
reign. An aspirant for a place in jovial
France, importuned the Secretary for Con-
suiship, and on being questioned by the pre-
nier as to his knowledge of the French Ian
guage, coolly replied, 81 reckon Governor to
