. Letter of Mr.. Chase.

The following patriotic letter OF Hon NJ
Chase was read at the Union meeting in N.E
York on Tuesday night:
..WAsHINGToN, Sept. 10, 1854.
"Gentlemen-You have my sincere thanks
for the very kind and cordial terms on which
you invite me TO attend and address the Union
meeting to be held at the Cooper Institute
on the 9th instant for the ratification of the
nomination Of Lincoln and johnson and Fen.
ton and Alvord.
al should certainly accept your invita-.
ton were not already under promise to
perform similar duty in Ohio about the same
time.
ITO me 1t seems clear that whatever is most
precious in national unity and most sacred in
personal freedom requires from all lovers of
their country united and most earnest endea-
vors to secure the largest possible majority for
the Union nominees, whether State or natiousl
No one, trust, with whom my counsel NAV
have weight, will fail to contribute his best ef.
forts to this result.
Mere maiorities will not suffice. Large ma
jorities will be hardly enough. We want and
must have maJOrities so Overwhelming and
decisive as will extineulsh every hope in the
hearts Of the chiefs OF the rebellion, and in the
hearts Of all foreign and domestic sympathi.
Zers with rebellion, that the American people
will ever consent to the sismemberment of the
American Union, or to the re- establishment OF
the ascendency of the slaveholding oligarchy
in the land of freedom.

FROM MISSOURI.

Attack on Pilot mob RepulSed-Great
Slaughte Of the Enemy-Damase Done
in the State.
ST LOUIS, Sept 30.-Captain Hill who has
arrived here, gives a detailed account Of the
defence of Pilot Knob, but which does not diff
fer materially from the report already tele-
graphed
AT one time the rebels were so near the fort
that they got on the dTawbridge, which was
Gown, the ropes having broken, but were
driven back with great slaughter, and forced
to retreat.
Our line fired about 300 rounds.
A train of GA wagons had been destroyed by
and the men massacred without demanding
their surrender.
One brigade Of GenI Smiths forces are now
stationed at Wetmac Bridge, a few miles below
Jefferson Barracks, the remainder of his COM
mand being at the latter place.
Nothing is known this morning of the
Whereabouts OF movements OF the enemy.
Point, and Potosi, suffered great injury. The
crops in that country are entirely destroyed,
and many citizens are literally ruined. A party
Of rebels were reported TO be moving, yesterday
morning, via Redwood and Washington, to-
wards the south branch of the railroad, but no
tidings have yet been received OF the damage
to the road.
Movements of Gen. Ewing
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3O.-The telegraph between
Franklin and RoIla has been interrupted since
last night, indicating the presence of rebels on
the southwest branch of the road. 1t is sup
posed that If Gen. Ewing reached Harrison
Station and found the road cut east OF him. he
would attempt to reach Rolla, where Gen.
Mcneil is ngthening the fort, having the
entire male population working On the fortifi-
cations.
One of the forts commands every approach
to the town. Gen. Fisk has called out the
militia of North Missouri again, to take the
field against guerrillas. He confirms all the
accounts of the contraband massacre. Gen.
Douglass is already in pursuit OF Anderson.
A butchers train went down to De Soto TO- day,
and found the Iron Mountain clear and saw
nothing Of the enemy. The condition Of affairs
below DE Soto are unknown.
The rebels captured about 1000 pigs Of lead
Gen. Pleasanton relieved Gen. Blair of the
command OF the city and county Of st. Louis
to-day.
Pilot Knob III ED by the RebeIs.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3O.-The mail agent Of the
Southwest Branch railroad arrived to- night.
He reports that Gen. Ewing reached Harri-
sons Station about ten o'clock last night,
closely pursued by the enemy. Fighting has
been going on, but the results unknown. The
road is cut this side of Harrison, and the towns
OF Cuba and Bourbon are burning, Harrison
being between these two towns. The supposi.
ton is that the road is cut both sides Of that
point, securing communication with both st.
Louis and Rolla.
Escaped prisoners who arrived at De Soto
to day report that Pilot Knob is still held by
the rebels, but their numbers and probable
movements are not known.
1t is understood that portion of General
Smiths force starts for Franklin, the intersec-
tion of the Paetae and Southwest branch roads,
forty miles ~ssref here, to night.

THE MARKETs.-Our recent successes have
had the effect not only to bring down gold, but
also to cause a sensible decline in the prices of
beadstufts and other marketable products in
New York and elsewhere. Since September
1ith, and up TO Thursday last, breadstuff have
fallen as follows in New York:
Superf1ne flour, 81 so and Sl31; extra state,
81 so and Sl50; corn meal, 10 cents and cents;
white wheat, 25 cents aud 90 cents per bushel;
yellow corn, cents per bushel. Coal is dull,
lower and irregular, and sold at prices rang
ing from 81 to $3.50 for different qualities.
With regard to the butter market, the New
York Times says:
The decline in the butter market noted in our
last report has continued steadily during the
entire week. Holders of butter and parties
who have been operating heavily at the late
extravagant rates, have resisted the pressure,
and every effort has been made to check the de-
cline, but the continued fall of gold and ster-
ling exchange, and the unfavOrable reports
from the several English markets, has left no
foundation for high prices, and at the close
butter of all grades are freely offered at a full
average decline OF SO per hundred pounds.
The market is quite dull and heavy at the de-
cline, and no disposition on the part of ship
peIs or dealers is shown to purchase, IL being
now clearly evident that the bottom is not yet
reached, and that the chances are still strongly
in favor of the real bona fide crash, closely
following the intima alton that the trade have had
in the last weeks demonstration Of the insta-
bility of an inflated market The issue cannot
be avoided by holding produce back from fair
market, and the result of such q course will
only tend to accumulate property and depress
prices uDnaturally. The theory of q short
butter crop is exploded, and the reports OF the
effects Of the drouth on the cropin Europe
have all greatly exaggerated the facts. and the
usual result, severe reaction, has followed.
A resumption of ordinary dealing on the part
Of dairymen, in the place OF specializing on the
rise and fall OF gold, will no doubt greatly ia
have receded from 60c. to Soc. per pound for
selections; but the average price is about 45c.

FINANCIAL-The New York Post of yester
day evening says:
The growing anticipation of early news from
Grant has its effect on the Stock Exchange TO.
day, and the suspense is unfavorable to busi-
ness. The tran sactions are consequently small.
and the bears are again in the ascendant.
The loan market offers no new features Of
importance. The caution Of lenders is on the
increase. AT per cent, however, there is no
difficulty in obtaining loans on good securi-
ties. Mercantile paper is dull and rates un-
changed. The accumulation of UNEMPLOYED
capital contin nues, and currency is returning
to the great financial centres. But for the fe.
verish uncertainty, which makes capitalists
timid, the money market would probably be
working much more easily.
The stock market opened firm and closed
heavy. Governments are steady, State stocks
quiet, bank shares more firm, oil stocks active,
mining shares quiet, railroad bonds heavy and
railroad shares weak.
The Commercial Advertiser says:
The news Of General Grants new movement
has depressing effect gold. The price
opened at Io4 and declined to 192. The specu-
1atiye movement ia the Gold Room hesitates on
both sides, waiting for something to turn up,
and not even Venturing to get up the daily ru-
NOR.
tied. The market is chiefly in the hands of
brokers, the 'sbears" having at present a decid-
ed advantage, while the generally unsettled
condition OF commercial affairs pre- vents outside
buyers from coming into the market
Governments are steady. Skies of 'Sl ad-
vanced q; other bonds and certificates were
stationary. The apprehension of an early
we have reason for believing, however, that no
additional loan will be put on the market
until momentary affairs are in more settled
condition.
