How Stuart Escaped.

S,uart,s retreat was even more lcisurely
than the frs. accounts made it. His men
.topped an Jour on the Maryland side of
the Potomac to feed their horses in the
cornfeld. Pleasonton's cavalry arrived at
the river an hour beforehand; but having
ridden seventy Eight miles were too much
exhaused to OBJECT anything. The infantry,
meantime, were crossing from Coolesville,
SIX miles away, but before they arrived
Stuart was gone. He sent a bantering mes
sage to General Seth Williams, McClellan's
Adjutan.- General, and other old friends,
and is reported to have told the people at
the ferry that he had fooled the whole par
ty. but had not succeeded in doing all he
designed, not having captured or destroyed
the Governm ent stores at Fred erick. or burn
ed the Monocacy bridge. 1t is believed
that the rebels have been re-enfored at least
twenty-five thousand since thew crossed the
Potomac. making the present effective force
as large as when they invaded Mary land -
The overture, of which Stuart made the
prelude, is not yet played. We are waiting
to know whether Lee means to attempt to
turn McClellan's right flank, or to march on
Sigel. or to retreat. Opinions vary.

TIL. Debt we are Pi1iug Up.

The New York Christian Advocate COM
ments on the National Debt, which thi.
rebellion is creating as follows
They tell US of an expense Of nearly
seven hundred millions year. Cau we ap-
preciate such sum? How little do we
know of the distance to the sun? Ninety
five millions of miles Start railroad
train for such a journey. Let it stop at nc
planet for wood and water, or passengers.-
Place on il little infant. The infan,
reaches the allotted age of man; but the
sun is not reached. Let another take his
place, and live his three score years and
ten; anoth er and another-and still with no
pause for repairs, or to cool its burning ak
les, and yet the journeys end is not attained
The fifth mans dying eyes are looking !or-
ward millions of miles for the journeys end.
But we are here talking of sever hundred
millions-not of ninety five.
For a hundred years and more churches
have been gathering property in the United
States. Subscriptions have been nobly
decided; dying men have left their accumu-
lations to their loved churches; and in all
got together about fifty millions of property
NOT enough to pay the price of victory for
one month.
We have a missionary society. 1t gath
ers each year from nearly million of peo-
pie. 1t throws its influence into nearly ev-
cry part of the world. But its whole year
ly revenue would endure the draft of the
United States Treasury but single hour.
Seven hundred thousand men are drawn
from the pursuits of industry. 1t is far
more impoverishing than if half million
of paupers were thrown on us to support,
for Their the laborers and producers would
remain at work. Now they are far worse
than idle. Their weapons are costly equip
ments; but harvests perish and cities are
ruined by their presence.
England is contributing fearful amounts
of want and starvation to swell the price of
victory. France loses the sale of twenty
five millions of its wares; and interior Eu-
rope and parts of Asia are paying portions of
this stupendous cost of victory.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 13-Midnight.


The whole rebel army in Kentucky Is
understood to be now concentrated at Cam p
Dick Robinson, ten miles east Of Danville,
where it is now believed they will make
final stand, if they do anywhere in the State.
The position there gives them good oppor-
tunities for retreat toward some of the Gaps
into Eastern Tennessee. while it also affords
good line of defense along the precipitous
banks of small stream against any advance
from the region of Danville or Harrods5urg :.
They can thus fight as they wish on ground
of their own selection and with their Who'll Q
force, or if deemed desirable, can still prob
ably make good their retreat. The larger
portion of the bluegrass country is already
practically redeemed from the rebels. There
is general confidence that any successful con-
test with Bragg and Kirby Smith at Camp
Dick Robinson will practically end the in
vasion of kentucky. All stuff, however,
about having them hemmed in, driving them
up to the Ohio river and the like, is non
sense.

THE IRON GLAD MoNrAUK AFLoAr. In
the presence of large assam bla ,e, the new
iron clad Ericsson battery, Montauk, was
launched at ten O'Clock to-day, from the
Continental Works, Greenpoint, where she
has been for some months in course of con.
strIction under the supervision Of Captain
Ericsson, who has the direction of affairs
connected with eight copies" of the origi-
nal M onitor, now building at Boston, Ches-
ter, Pa, Greenpoin and jersey City. The
Passaic. consort to the Montauk, was com
pleted at the Continental Works a few DAYS
since.
The Montauk is 200 feet long, As feet
wide and nearly 13 feet deep. These are
very nearly the dime usiops of all the othe
NJ onitors. Unusual care, however, has been
bestowed upon the construction of this YES
sci. Her plates were critically examined in
every instance, and it is believed that the
most careful scrutiny could not discover a
flaw in them. There is only one turret on
board the Moutauk. and its dimensions are
81 feet inside and II inches thick 1t is in
this turret that the battery of the vessel is
placed, and it revolves in such a manner
that shots can be fred at any point of the
compass, within few seconds Of each
other.
The turret is cupola shaped, and on the
q
guarded with iron, which never moves, no
matter how rapid may be the revolution of
the cupola. The guns will be fifteen inch
bore, almost the heaviest calibre used on
war vessels, and the captain, loader and
sponger can perform their business without
fearing the Intrusive entrance of an unwel-
come shell, in the hottest battle There
are five inches Of iron on the hull, besides
the usual solid wooden frame, which is riv
cited and screwed none the less certainly
because there is a shot-proo guard cover
ing it.
The machinery of the vessel is also out of
harms way, being. it is said. inaccessible to
any description of ammunition. 1t works
IN great measure like the machinery of
wooden craft, and is managed in nearly the
same manner.
There is no prominent difference between
the Montauk and Passaic; the latter has been
already described at length in these columns.
The next vessel to be launch ed will probably
be the Weehauken. now nearly finished at
Jersey City.
After the launch refreshments were served
to numerous party: among whom were
several army and navy officers Mr.. Row.
land launched the first of the new Monitor
fleet (the Passaic), the second being launch
ed recently in Delaware.
The launch was one of the finest that has
been witnessed here for years. The vessel
sped nearly four hundred yards without in
Permission, not as much as a rope warn Civ
ing way. Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Rowland's superin-
tend ent, conducted the whole affair 10 the
most interesting manner. Admiral Pauld-
ing was present, aud Admiral Gregory.--N. |

WASHINGTON, MARCH Sd, 1861.
DEAR SIR:-Hopng that in day or two
the new President will have happily passed
through all personal dangers, and find him
self installed an honorcd successor of the
Great Washington, with you as the chief OF
his Cabinet, beg leave to repeat in writing
what l have before said to you orally. this
supplement to my printed views dated IN
October last on the highly disordered con-
dition of our so late happy and glorious
Union. To meet the extraordinary exigen-
cies OF the times, it seems to me that am
guilty of no arrogance In limiting the Pres
dent's field of selection to one Of the four
plans Of procedure subjoined.
First-Throw off the old and assume
new designation-the Union party-adopt
the conciliatory measures proposed by Mr.
Crit,enden OF the Peace Convention, and my
life upon it, we shall have no new case OF
secession; but, on the contrary. an early re-
turn of many If not all the States which
have already broke off from the Union

ded in foreign country, would require
pc rmanent garrison of at least o,OOO troops
to protect the Government within it.
Second Collect the duties on foreign
goods outside the ports of which this Gov
ernment has lost the command, or close
such ports by an act OF Congress and block
ade them.
Third. Conquer the seeded States by
invading armies. No doubt this might be
done in two or thr rec years by young and
able general-a Wolf, Dessaux or a
Hoche with three hundred thousand dis
ciplined men, estimating third tor garrisonS
and loss of yet greater number by Skin
mishes, sieges, battles and Southern fevers.
. The destruction of life and property on
the other side, would be frightful however
perfect the moral discipline of the invaders.
The conquest completed at the enormous
waste of human life to the North and North :
west with at least S25O.OOO,OOO added
thereto, and car bono fifteen devasted prov
inces not to DO brought into harmony with
their conquerors. but to oe held for genera
,ions by heavy garrisons, at an expense quad
rupled the net duties Of taxes which it
would be possible to extort from them, fol-
lowed by protector or an Emperor.

sisters depart in peace.
In haste, l remain very truly yours.
