The following statements given by q

This know to be fact. My information is

terS can only see one way OF preventing
good deal of mischief. Every port for which
they are designed ought to be in the power of
the American government before these ugly
monsters can cross the Atlantic. Then you
might welcome them as effective aids in future
operations. To disarm suspicion it is pOpu-
larly given out that this iron fleet is being built
for the Chinese government: but need hardly
tell You that Mr.. Mason and his friends form
one OF the chief contracting parties.
SIMON CAMERON, who has just arrived
at New York from Europe, confirms the
statement that the rebels are building three
formidable iron-clad rams in the British
ship-yards, and repeats the warning that
these vessels are intended to make dash
at our chief Atlantic cities
The Philadelphia Inquirer says: The

surprise that New York does not more
fully appreciate the danger of an attack,
and suggests that the Notifications about

If this is applicable to New York, with her
harbor protected by dozen forts and
bristling with guns, what will we say about
Philadelphia, with her one fort and her
Mudbank,' upon which she relies for pro-
lection against the powerful engines of

The TelegraphicTNews

There is scarcely anything that is i'm
portant or Trustworthy in our dispatches
this week. There must indeed be a
dearth of news when the reporters can find
nothing more interesting than Tribune
sensation editorials to send abroad. Such
mass of nonsense must have come from
one of those "reliable contrabands " we
heard so much of at the beginning of the
war.
From the Army in Virginia, we hear
that Gen. SUMNER is advancing, and an
other rumor about Stonewall JACKSON.
Our army is massed near the town of
Warrenton, the capital Of Fauquier. coun-
ty, about 100 miles Northwest of ,Rich-
mond. MCCLELLAN told his'officers on the
day before he was relieved, that in three
or four days he expected to fight the great
est battle OF the war and achieve victory
for the Union that would probably end the
rebellion.
AN OiISiiCC VI lllC NEW 1Ork brokers'
who were sent to Fort LAFAYETTE, was
something more than shaving claims.
They are charged with being connected
with gigantic system of swindlng the
Government
"A report from Port Royal states that
BEAUREGARD was to attack Fort Pulaski on
the 18th inst. The health Of the troops at
Port Royal was good
Gen. RosECRANs has ordered the iIn-
pressing Of the negroes Of rebels at Nash
vile, for fatigue duty.
"A batch Of political prisoners, who
have been confined for three months in the
old capital, have been honorably dis
charged. Among them WAS D. a. Ma
HONEY, editor Of the Dubuque Heyald, who
came very near being elected to Congress
on the 4th inst.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat., 1862-11-21

We grant that the major portion of the ''Con-
servative vote was composed of Democrats,
most of whom we presume, approved of Nc
Clellans mode of fighting.
But we contend that larger number voted the
so-called Democratic ticket, out of sheer dis
gust at the manner in which the war has been
latterly conducted, &c.-Union, 10TH.
How, after the "major portion of a
given aggregate had voted under specified
influences, charger number Of the same
aggregate could possibly have voted under
diverse influences, is fact in figures that
we can't comprehend. A major presup-
poses minor, and larger a smaller; and
how there can be charger number in
existence to exceed the "major portion I"
of the same sum total, is what puzzles US.
Perhaps, though, our fractions are vulgar;
and, if so, we apologize for intrading them
upon the attention of the Union.
