FAcTIoUs INSTIGArToNs.-Gov. Sey-
mour has put himself in a fearful position,
where all that is corrupt and disloyal is
pushing and irritating and driving him
on into open opposition to the government.
As an instance of the abominab!e instiga-
tons to which he is subject, read the fol-
lowing in the New York NeloS, which oc-
ours after statement of the factious pro-
gramme which is marked out for Gov.
Seymour:
"The only danger then exists in a pos
sible weakness and infrmity of purposein
our Governor, We have every assurance
that he will be equal to the occasion, and
that he will redeem his pledge that the
rights of the people shall not be violated.
But the ordeal has not yet been passed,
and until tie bOur Of decesjUe action shall
have come, 9Oe caRa0t measure the courage
Of our champion. He has spoken brave
uordS to the people he has aerittea wisely
and boldly in their behalf; he has thus
far approved himself their friend. their
ally and protector. None have cause to
doubt his fortitude and faith. The De
mocracy, not Of his State alone, bat of the
entire North, have given their cause into
his hands He cannot beiray the trust.
He will not incur the shame and ignominv
of betrayal. Throughout great political
commissions, when great questions are at
issue, and all feel deeply and earnestly
upon contested questions, the intermediate
man, the shifting, shutting and uncertain
statesman, the leader rho dare not adUdace,
md tile apostle rho ShrjabS from practice
of his doctrine, is the most mjsclieoouS Of

The Metropolitan Record (Catholic) is
still worse IN its spirit. 1t has long ar
rav-written in a bitter, menacjng vein
of the things which are expected of Gov.
Seymour by the Copperhead interest, OF
which the following will serve as fair
! specimen
They expect that If The State should
be obliged, BY the continuance of the des-
potic acts of the Washington tyranny, to
! TeS0tUe ltS6lf INTO us 0ft9thdI So0efet9"S9
that sufficient stores Of arms and ammunl
ton of all kinds shall be provided in TIM
for such an emergency. They expect tina
he shall not permit himself to be cajole'
or played upon by the willy trlcksters VIII
are engaged in doing the dirty work Q
the Administration in our State, and tina
he shall take care that the freedom of tn
four millions of It's inhabitants shall ne
be given up to the powers that be, as W
have seen done already with the people {
MARYLAND, Kentucky, Delaware, Missouri
aud other parts Of the country. All tn
they expect, and more. They expect thu

ADJurANr GEN. SpRAGuE's REPORT

ADJurANr GEN. SPRAGuE's REPORT.
The Tribune says:
Adjutant Gen. Sprague If this State
has reported to Gov Seymour that the
civ of New York has furnished 33,623
men above the aggregate of all her quotas
since the war commenced, not counting
20,95l men sent on special service for a
short time. As all the quotas Of the city
must foot up more than $4,000, 1t would
follow-supposing these figures correct
that this city has furnished about '50,OI0
men, or more than her whole voting pop
ulation including every man from 45 to
roo wears old THIS is in the proportion
of about 100000 for the loyal States.
We don't think quite three millions have
vet been raised And as Adj. Gen Hill
house reported last year that on call for
25,l60 New York city furnished only
6,G37, leaving deficiency of 1928, or
70 per cent, we may safely wait for some
further explanation of such discrepancies.
Either Mr. Hillhouse or Mr.. Sprague is
mistaken, Which, let the occasion and
the motive suggest.

The following, received at the NAVY De-
partment, is an extract of a private letter
received from Commander Wainwright
late of the steamer Harriet Lane, which
was captured on the LIST inst. 3,
... u. s. STEAMER HARRIET LANE.
GALVESTON, Dexas, Dec. II, 1925
We are occupying very disagreeable
position, lying off the town, holding the
harbor, but without sufficient force TO oc-
cupy the, city.
The Confederates who hold Virginia
Point, on the main land, about five miles
off, have free access to the town over the
railroad bridge which connects Galveston
Island with the main land. They also
hold battery guarding this end of the
bridge, the water being so shallow that we
cannot get within gunshot Of either They
are in and out all the time, which renders
it unsafe for us to go on shore, as we
should be liable to be gobbled up at any
moment.
So we have to stick to our vessels, and
feel the want of exercise on terra firma
sadly. We have constant reports that we
are to be attacked both from the water and
shore, which keeps us constantly on the
alert. We have SO many rumors that we
are getting tired of hearing them, and
would prefer some demonstration on the
part of the enemy, to the never ending
suspense and anxiety on the subject.
We should not care sxpence for the
whole party if we had room enough to
move about in, but we are anchored in /.
sort of natural canal, where there is not
sufficient space to turn around. You Lave
to beponted face before you can go either
way. If they come at Us with their light
draught boats, which are able to go any
where i'll the bay, you can see what an ad-
vantage they have over Us.
However, I think we will give q good
account Of them if they come. Weunder-
stand that John Magruder says that if our
troops DO not arrive pretty soon and beat
him of, he will drive US out of the bay.
John will have to get up early in the morn
ing Still, We shall be very glad when the
troops make their appearance, so that we
can sleep in peace.

'H'!ie Relief from Cincinnati for tis
Sufferers by the INDIAN Raid.


Sufferers by the g.iafan Raid.
Mr.. y. NJ. TAYLOR, the Treasurer OF the
Cincinnati soliciting committee for the re-
Lief Of the sufferers in Minnesota from the
late Indian Raid, publishes in the Con-
'neJriM his report, from which it appears
that the sum Of $2,2G7 Il was collected
from the citizens Of that city and trans
mitted to Minnesota. TO show the feel
ings of appreciation and gratitude which
these contributions elected from our citi-
zens, Mr.. TAYLOR prints the following ex-
tracts from letters Of acknowledgment:
W. |. Whitelnan writes, under date of
St. Paul, October %, 1862, acknowledging
receipt Of $1,000:
The noble, generous and ready response made
to this very worthy cause. will be noticed and
warmly acknowledged in Il public way. My
health is too feeble, being confined to my room
most OF the time, to take an active part in this
good work. but this charitable act on the part
of my native city, causes my heart to ycarn
more for my home and friends, whose sympathy
and generous deeds never fail in the time of ca
lanity and distress.
Mr.. WHrrEMAN says, under date OF No
vember 10, after acknowledging receipt Of
5000:
You may rest assured that this generous do
nation will be judiciOusly disbursed, and in
such manner as TO accomplish the most good.
The clothing you mention will be especially ac-
ceptable, as many arc already suffering for this
want; allow me in the name of these poor
homeless wanderers, to thank you again for
your generous liberality and to assure you that
so unexpected charity from Cincinnati is
warmly appreciated here.
Horace Thompson, Esq, one of the
committee, after acknowledging receipt Of
$500, under date of November 25th,
says:
On behalf of fthe committee and our citizens
generally us well as the sufferers who are the
recipients Of your bounty, allow me to return
thanks. Please assure the contributors to this
munfcent fund, that the money and clothing
will be carefully distributed to feed, clothc and
warm huadlehs Of homeless women and chill
dren. 1t is more appreciated here from the
fact that You have little business connection
with the State, the gift being purely bcnevo-
lent.
Mr.. Thompson says:
ST.. PAUL, january 5. 1868.
Your favorIof the 3Oth is received, with the
draft for tie Minnesota sufferers, for 500 Il,
making g total in money. Of $2,267 Il, for
which we again return thanks it being by far
the most liberal donation given, by any city, to
the sufferers We also feel confident that ii is
being distributed with more care and relieving
q larger number of persons, than any other
fund sent to the State. Hundreds of families
and women and children have already been
clothed and fed from this fund. We have paid
out. now, say 81 800.
The two boxes of clOthno received at Min
neapolis, have been distributed (the Others are
yet behind, but daily expected, and Mr.. Wales
informs me that fifty or sixty destitute families
are the recipients. Our boats have brough1up

The Legislature of Virginia, in session
at Wheeling, has to elect Senator for
that State in place of Mr.. Wiley. There
will be also two Senators to elect from the
new State of Kanawha Col. Segar, of
Accomac, is a permanent candidate for
the vacancy to represent the old State of
Virginia. He has been all his life the ad-
vocate of internal improvement in that
State, SO as to be called the De Witt Gin
ton OF Virginia. He has sacrificed his
personal interests, and has dared more
than any other man in the State for the
maintenance of the Union, and will prob
ably be chosen to represent the constituent
cy betrayed by Hunter.

The Sunday Mercury publishes let
ter purporting to have been written by an
officer of the revenue cutter Bibb, giving
an account of secret accommodating expe-
dition in Charleston harbor, which resulted
in the discovery that the rebels have plated
the outside of Fort Sumter with heavy bars
of railroad iron. This story, whether true
or not, is curious. The writer says:
Inow ran the boat right under the shadow of
the fort, keeping just far enough away to avoid
being dashed against it. l now could see, by
occasional flashes of the lantern, that, as had
suspected at first, the whole fort was encased in
a shit of iron arnor. Parallel bars of railroad
iron traversed this iron coating, perpendicu-
larly. from the base to the upper line. The
port-holes were protected by massive projec-
tons of the same material, presenting acute
angles at every side. This armor would offer a
very serious resistance to the 490-pOunders,
even when the many angles presented did not
cause them to diverge, and send them spinning
off in another direction like SO many peas. The
clever Beauregard has evidently not been idle
since his occupation of this port, and it is to
him that we owe this formidable arrangement.
