DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

NEW lOAh5 OCL- lO--fs NJ
There is an immense Democratic meet
ing tonight at Cooper's Institute, presided
over by Horace F. Clark, assisted by Wash
ington Hunt and others. Speeches were
made by Horatio Seymour, John Van Buren
and Richard o. German A large number
of outside meetings were also held. It is
estimated that over $4,000 people were
present. The following important letter
was read by John Van Buren, not, how
ever, with the consent of the author:
WASHINGTON, March 8, 1861.
DEAR SIR Hoping that in a day or two
the new President will have happily pass
ed through all personal dangers, and find
himself installed an honored successor Of
the great Washington, with you as the
chief Of his cabinet, beg leave to repeat
to YOU in writing what 1 have before said
to you orally, this supplement to my print
ed views, dated in October last, on the
highly disordered condition Of our so late
happy and glorious Union.
To meet the extraordinary exigencies Of
the times, it seems to me that 1 an guilty
of no arrogance in limiting the Presidents s
field of selection to one of the four plans of
procedure subjoined:
First. Throw off the old and assume a
new designation for the Union party,
adopt the conciliatory measures proposed
by Mr.. Crittenden, or the Peace Conven-
ton, and my life upon it, we shall have no
new case of secession, but on the contrary,
an early return of many, if not Of all the
States which have already broken off from
the Union. Without some equally benign
measure, the slayeholding states will pro-
badly join the Montgomery Confederacy in
less than sixty days, when this city, being
included in a foreign country, would re-
quire a permanent garrison Of at least
thirty-fve thousand troops, to protect the
Government within it.
I'd, Collect the duties on foreign goods
outside the ports of which this Government
has lost the command, or close such ports
by act of Congress, and blockade them.
Third, Conquer the seeded States by
invading armies. No doubt this might be
done in two or three years by a young and
able General, a Wolfe, a Dessaix, or a
Hoche, with 100000 disciplined men, es-
timating q third for garrisons. and a loss
of yet greater number by skirmishes,
sieges, battles and Southern fevers. The
destruction of life aud property on the
other side would be frightful, however
perfect the moral discipline of the invad-
ers. The conquest completed at that
enormous waste of human life TO the North
and Northwest, with at least S250,000,00
added thereto, and ela bono, fifteen devas-
tated provinces not TO be brought intC
harmony with their conquerors, but to bC
held for generations by heavy garrisons
at an expense quadruple the net duties ol
| taxes which il would be possible to extort
from them, followed by a protector or al
| emperor.
Fourth, Say to the seeded States, way.
ward sisters, depart in peace.
In haste, 1 remain very truly yours,

nInnnfncturc of Henrr Guns.


rum llAG AAt'AItAl 81 SAAAlAAlNAS
The Fort Pitt Works had another of the
monster Dahlgren guns, intended for the
new Monitors, placed on a truck, to-day,
for shipment to Wallis Station, where it
will be tried next week. During visit to
these works this forenoon, we counted no
less than seven Of these fifteen inch guns,
nearly all Of which we're far advanced to-
wards completion.
We believe that thus far eleven 15-inch
guns altogether have been cast at the
Works. Besides the " Monitor" guns, we
saw a number Of the Dahlgren guns, and
several ten-inch Columbiads in the lathes,
and a number more either finished or in
the rough. Altogether, We think there
could not have been less than fifty Of these
heavy guns in the lathes and scattered
through the building, yet we were told that
these formed but a very small item in the
number of guns cast here during the last
six months. At another establishment
near the Fort Pitt Works we saw several
siege guns of the Columbiad pattern, some
in the process of boring, and others ready
for delivery. These guns are all rifed, and
finished in the finest style. The length Of
the bore is nine feet three inches, and the
diameter four and a half inches. The
length from the extremity Of the breech to
the muzzle, is eleven feet ten inches. In
appearance they contrast strangely with
the Monitor" guns, being so light that
they may be easily used on the field, while
such is their tremendous power that they
will throw a twenty-four pound ball from
three and half to four and half miles.
There are twelve of these guns at the es-
tablishment Of which we speak, and an
immense lot of monster howitzers. These
were all cast at the Fort Pitt Works, and
were sent here merely to be bored.

The MINNESOTA INDIAN WAR.
Dispatch from General Pope
The Sioux War at an End,
FROM NEW YORK.

NEW 1ORK, Oct. ii.
The Herald's special, dated Washington
the 18th, says;
A rumOr has been current tonight that
a large force of rebels had crossed into
Maryland, and had been defeated. There
is not q word Of truth in the rumoro
1t is said that the failure to arrest the
escape of Stuart and his bold rebel caval-
ry, in their dash into Pennsylvania through
Maryland, is attributed to the division
commander at Poolesville, to whom instruc-
tions had been sent by Mcclellan, stating
that Stuart would probably retreat upon
the line which he subsequently pursued,
and suggesting a disposition Of forces that
would inevitably cut off his passage across
the Potomac.
4 strict investigation is now being con-
Quoted about it, with a view Of fixing the
guilt and assigning punishment where it
is merited.
From the facts already made public, it
is evident that General Mcclellan took
proper measures to prevent the return of
Stuart to Virginia, and the fault must be
with the subordinate officers who failed to
obey his orders or appreciate his sugges-

The TEST Question.

The Lounger, of Harper's Weekly, thus
pOintedly and sharply puts the test ques-
ton to be decided by every voter who
would vote right on Tuesday. We ask ev-
cry reader to put the question to himself
and vote accordingly:
"Since the war began, and the only pub
lie question of moment was the maints-
nance of the Government and the uncon-
ditional surrender of the rebellion, we
have advocated in these columns the use of
every constitutional means to that end.
We have urged every man to bear constant
ly in mind the character and scope Of the
struggle, and to make every act and vote
of his tell in the strongest manner against
the rebellion.
Whether he were Republican or Dem
ocrat, we have assumed that he had for
gotten those names for tho time, and wish
ed to be known only as a patriot. The
question as to the particular course the
ship was to steer was lost in the question
of saving the ship itself. We are still en-
gagged in the work All hands are called
to the pumps. The question still is, not
shall we sail North or South, but shall we
sail at all?
In the coming election, therefore, the test
question is, what result will please the
rebels most2 Here are candidates for Con-
gress, for Governor, and for other offices.
Even allowing that all are equally honest,
whose success do Davis, TOOmbs s Co., de-
sire
If you can settle that question, and find
those candidates, those are the men you
are to vote against. The men whom the
rebels most detest, the Generals they most
hate, the measures they most denounce, are
the men, Generals and measures for every
sincerely and wholly loyal citizen"

NEW YORK, Oct. IA.
The Tribune's special from Washington
says the modified rumors of Cabinet and
military changes are unfounded.
The Times Harpers Ferry letter con-
firms the statements that forward move
ment of the army is determined upon.
The Herald's special says the State De-
partment has information from Minister
Adams of the arrest Of parties in England
for counterfeiting U. S. treasury notes.
The War Department has received dis
patches from General Pope that the Sioux
War is at an end. Little Grow has fed
with a small party to the Yankton country,
but cavalry force has been sent after
them, and there is not much doubt they
will be given up.

Indianians agree that if General Davis
is dismissed from the army he will be sent
to Congress from Indiana, as the people of
that State are almost unanimous in regard
ing the conduct of General Nelson to the
Indiana troops as ferociously brutal In
deed they declare that the ball which Gen
eral Nelson received in the thigh at the
battle of Richmond came from the musket
of an Indiana volunteer. This general
hostility on the part Of the Indiana troops
doubtless stimulated General Davis when
he sought to revenge the insulting treat
ment Of General Davis.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 13.
The Washington Star, of this evening,
says:
A man who arrived here this morning
frsm near Conrads Ferry states that he
was in the presence of General Steuart a
few minutes before he crossed the river.
Steuart informed him in a sarcastic man
ner he had foiled the whole party, but re-
GREETED he had not accomplished what was
intended when he started, as he was ex-
pected to reach Frederick, Maryland, de-
stroy the Government stores at that point,
then destroy the bridge over the Monoea-
cy. But that all things taken into consid-
Grafton he had carried out his programme
with much success.
Stewards men and horses looked ex-
tremely exhausted, but the former were in
high glee. General Steuart sent his com
pliments to many United States officers
with whom he had been acquainted in for
mer times

WASHINGTON, July IS.
One hundred and seventy-fivc witnesses have
been examined by the committee on the con-
duct of the war. The testimony is very volu-
minous, and it is estimated will cover 1900
octave pages. II has been deposited with the
Superintendent of Public Printing, to be Sc
curely kept until the further orders of the
committee.

The Secretary of the Treasury on appeal

manufactured of juke, not otherwise provided
for, they were in his opinion properly assessed
by the collector of Boston on the entry with a
duty at the rate of 20 per centum.
We feel at liberty to state that yesterday
portion of the army of Gen. Pope entered the
important town of Gordonsville, Va. unop-
posed, and duly destroyed all the paraphernalia
at that point-the junction of the Orange &
Alexandria and Virginia Central Railroads.
Three-fourths of the troops, munitions and
supplies of evry description for the rebel army
at Richmond, of necessity, passed through
Gordonsyiile by railroad. the blow, therefore,
is most important one, more especially as it
is the first of a series which we trust will do
more to cripple the efficiency of the rebel
Richmond army than aught that has yet oc-
CURED.
There is no truth in the rumor that McClel-
Ian has resigned.
1t is believed Gen. Halleck will soon reach

The following is an extract from recent
despatch received at the War Department from
Gen. Saxton, dated Beaufort, S. c., July 10:
To Hon. T.. NJ. Stanton, Secretary of War:
Sr-I have the honor to report that every
thing pertaining to the special service for
which / am sent to this Department, is in
favorable condition. The negroes are working
are working industriously. We have some
1900 acres of corn aud corn under cultva-
ton. Ii looks WELL The system of voluntary
labor works admirably. The people are con-
tented and happy. When the new crop is har-
vested, they will cease to be a burden upon the
government BY adopting judicious system
of reward for labor, almost any amount can be
obtained. Its proceeds will pay the expense.
l am with great respect,
Yours truly,
