tion Company. The bill In this case was fled by
the lIbellants as shippers Of cargo Of graln.
amounting to over twenty thousand bushels, In
the propeller Mohawk Of Chicago, bound to Buf
falo. While crossing the St. Clair Flats, and In
attempting to 60 round the schooner Il. Ross,
which lay anchored in the channel, she stranded
and in ehort time afterwards exploded her boiler
Nearly ali the grain On board of her was destroy
ed or damaged By the explosion,
The feature from which this suit derived It's
chief interest was tho question presented and ar
gued In the course OF it, whether explosion ts or fs
not oEe ofthe dangers Of navigation! A point
that we believe il not regarded as satisfactorily
eettled BY the authorities. No decision Of this
question, however, WAS involved IN the decree Of
the Court, which turned simply upon question Of
plcadiDg-the action having been brought IN the
name Of the shippers, while 1t appeared that they
had been paid by the underwriters and therefore
had no interest in the suit. The Court remarked
that although the praet1ce had been both in the
Supreme aud District Courts to permit the parties
in Interest to eue IN the shippers name Jet that
WAS in the absence Of all controversy between the
parties. In this case the Court thought that good
pleading required that tho suit should be brought
in the name Of the interested party. Without ref
ercnce to the question, whether in policy Of ma
zinc insurance. the words 'dangers Of navigation
did OF did not cover the liability to explosion Of
vessels propelled by steam, the Court intimatcd
that this case exhibited want Of skill and sea-
manship In the master sufficient to sustain a de-.
cree OF different nature II no other objection hrd
inte.posed.
Leave to AMEND the libel was refused BY the
Court for the .eason TINT the same privilege o.
amendment as to parties could be enjoyed in the
Circuit Court as in the Court bslow. The 1ibe
was dismissed without prejudice, and notice ofap

WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-The latest dis
patches from Mr.. Dayton convey the most
explicit and unmistakable assurances from the
French emperor, as well as from his minister
of foreign affairs, that France has no inten-
ton either to recognize the southern confed-
eracy while its ability to maintain its indepen-
dence Is seriously contested, nor to plant any
French colonies on the western continent or
retain any permanent conquest of Mexico
These declarations are regarded as eminenty
satisfactory to the government.
There was special cabinet meeting at the
white house yesterday, which was in session
for some time. 1t is understood that the sub
Ject under discussion was connected with the
present untavorable aspect of our relations
with England and France, which are regard
ed as critical, and particularly with reference
to the character OF the dispatches and the in-
structions to be forwarded to our diplomatic
representatives at those courts by the steam
erS Tomorrow. These instructions, there is
reason to believe, while not of ncedlessly
offensive character, will be firm and positive
in their tone, and will show that this govern
ment Is not disposed quietly to submit to a
continuation OF the outrages practiced against
the nation in the interests of the rebellion,
particularly in the fitting out and despatch
ing Of the rebel armed vessels from tho
ports OF these powers, to prey upon our
commerce.

1t contains the following =
"The Reported Adrance of the Enemy
There was an engagement at Culpepper on
Sunday last, and a skirmish between cav
airy at Rapidan station on Monday, with
out any definite result. The enemy are
crossing their infantry at Kelly's ford, and
apparently contemplate an advance"
CHARLESTON, Sept. l4.-The enemy is
pertecting arrangements for the permanent
occupation of Morris Island, erecting lines of
telegraph along the whole island, converting
battery Wagner into powerful work, enlarg-
ing the bomb proofs, &C. They fire upon our
boats plying in the harbor, from battery
Gregg"
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 14.-Gens. johnson
and Forrest skirmiShed with the enemy near
Dalton, on Friday. Forrest was wounded.
The Yankees advanced to Tunnel Hill.
Gen. Wheeler had skirmish near Lafay-
cite on the same day, and the enemy being
too strong, tell back. A general engage

New YORK, Sept. 16.-The Commercially
Paris letter of the LIST says 1.-THE Florida
Is still in the port of Brest, and to-day it is
stated IN the Journals that, not only is she 60
ing to be seized by the owners of certain
French vessels burnt by her, but that for the
burning of British vessels, British man of
war is lying in wait for her. All this, it is to
ne hoped, will give time for an American YES
sci to arrive. Some of the officers of the
Florida are at Paris spending their money.
The funds and commerce generally have
undergone great advance in view of the GER
tainty that peace is to be maintained in Eu-
rope. The next war, in the opinion of the
majority. is to be with the United States, but
that is yet too remote to affect business opera
tions. To-day the bakeries became free; the
price of bread is no longer to be fixed by the
authorities, and the price consequently fell

Military Reports.

g. :" o., Gillp,o,o in
an official communication, says SO pieces Of
artillery were captured on Morris Island. and
it is not impossible that others remain con-
cealed
Gen. Wright, commanding the department
OF the Pacific, has forwarded a report from
Gen. Conner to the military authorities here,
from which it appears that the different tribes
of Indians living within the district of Utah
are anxious for peace Most of them have
already made treaties with Gen. Conner, and
Gen. Wright is sure that with the reinforce
ment he has sent forward the overland mail
route will be perfectly safe.
Capt. Fiske reports the progress of the ex-
petition from fort Abercrombie 10 fort Ben
ton, under his charge, for the protection of
emigrants on the northern route. On the first
of August he was two hundred and sixty eight
miles west of fort Abercrombie. He had a
guard of only fifty men. with which he trav-
creed the Sioux country. He adds that since
leaving fort Abercrombie our progress has
been most satisfactory. Notwithstanding the
extraordinary drouth this season, we have not
suffered so far for either grass or water
proving, think, the great superiority of this
route. Our party is in good health, and cam
els, horses, &C., are in fair condition.

WAsHNGToN, Sept. l5.--Gen. Foster tele-
graphs from fortress Monroe that the main
body OF the rebel army is at Richmond, where
Lees headquarters now are, and there is no
force of any consequence in Gen. Meades
front. Gen. Peasanton found Il rebel brigade
at Raccoon ford yesterday. The enemy oc-
cupies the south bank of the Rapidan, and is
quite strongly entrenched. The rebel army
is believed to have fallen back from Gordons-
vile. Intelligence received from deSerters
and prisoners confirms the report that Long
streets corps has been withdrawn from Vlr-
ginia and sent to the assistance Of Bragg and
other commanders.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l6.-A telegram re-
ceived from the army OF the Potomac says

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-Acting comman-
der Merriam, of the steamer Norwich, under
date of ST. Johns river, Fla, Aug. 20, COM
muncates to the navy department the fact
that on the 18th he sent an armed boat expe-
diton, consisting of two launches of that ship
and two cutters of the Hale, to destroy sig
nal station, in which they succeeded, captur-
ing the picket and completely surrounding it
before the rebels were aware of the approach
of the expedition, and securing arms, also
the signal flags, telescopes, &c. The COM
mander says the capture of this signal sta
ton, which sewers the rebel line within three
miles of Jacksonville, will either break up
this end Of the line or will detain here to pro-
tect it the troops-fve small companies OF in
fantry, two full companies of cavalry, and
one company of artillery-which learned
were about being forwarded to Richmond.

thousand rebel prisoners northward from
Cumberland Gap.

lieved from duty in the war department

CHARLEsToN.-The report that a white flag
was seen floating over fort Moultrie, was
probably mistake. The new rebel flag is
white, with blue cross, and few stars.
This we presume was the flag that was sup
posed to be a white flag, signifying that the
fort had surrendered. We shall soon hear that
Gen Gilmore has made another demonstration,
and then, we shall begin to see the end of the
siege approaching The rebels say he has
been making preparations to use Fort Gregg
when the next bombardment opens. Nothing
more is said Of the capture OF James Island,
nor of any operations that contemplate an at
tack in that quarter.

From the Indian Territory.

New York, Sept. 16.-A dispatch from
Leavenworth to the Chicago Tribune, says
The last intelligence from the Indian country
gives additional significance to the victories
of Blunt at Perryville and Fort Smith. Chile
Mcintosh and Unis Mcintosh have come over
to our side, bringing with them the entire
Creek nation, Of which they were chiefs and
leaders. Contrabands from the Red river re.
port that the Chickasaw Indians have also
declared their allegiance to the federal gov
ernment. Briefly, the whole Indian territory
is entirely under our control and will remain
go.
Texas can easily be gained by forward
movement. Banks is probably making a de-
monstratiun in that direction.

Emancipation in Maryland.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 16.-The address OF the
unconditional Union central state committee
to the people of Maryland says: We disavOw
all measures Tor the violent abrOgation of
slavery in our midst We claim that in the
exercise Of our prerOgatives as American cit
liens, we owe it to ourselves to discuss fairly
and finally to dispose Of the evil, and we here
by solemnly declare it to be our conviction,
that the dignity, honor and pro sperity Of our
people alike demand that we should legally
and constitutionally abolish the institution at
the earliest period compatible with the best
interests OF the state and the permanent well
fare, stability and unity of the nation.
Since the people know that the substance
of slavery is already gone, and that only the
skeleton has been left, we are of the opinion
that the sooner the skeleton is removed the
better it will be for the true interests of the
state and nation. The men that we present
to you are in favor Of supporting the admins
tration in every effort to put down the rebel
lion, and in every measure which it has
thought necessary for the permanent peace of
tine country when the rebellion shall have
been subdued
We believe that the only way to put down
the rebellion is to put it down by force OF
arms. For this purpose we are willing to vote
every dollar necessary and give every avaia
BILE man, black or white. We do not think
ourselves superior to our ancestors OF revolu-
tionary memory, who fought side by side with
cOlored troops, nor to Andrew jackson, who
commanded and complmented the colored
militia who fought with him. at the battle of
New Orleans.
We believe it is the bounden duty of the
president to use all the force and every
weapon which God has put within his grasp
andthe laws of the United States have author
lied him to WELD in defence of the nation
Traitors have no choice as to the weapons to
be used in their destruction, and loyal men
only ask that they be speedy and sure.
