subject of Slavery have been hereto fore often expressed, while in the public service, and remain unchanged.— He believes tho General Government has no power under the Constitution to abolish Slavery in the respective States of the Union, nor to interfere with its statutes therein. What measures affecting the condition of slaves may be rightfully adopted, flagrante bcllo, in hostile operations in a resisting State, Is a very differont question, and one which he thought demanded the grave consideration of the insurrectionary States, before they abandoned the safeguards of tho Constitution and engaged in the unholy effort to break up the best and freest government ever given by Providence to man.

Some two months sincc the condition of our country was the subject of the conversation referred to between President Fairfield and General Cass, in which the latter expressed his condemnation of tho courso of the South in the commencement and prosecution of hostilities against tho constitution, and his conviction that it was the duty of every citizen to support the government in its efforts to assert the authority of the laws, and to defend and maintain the Union in its integrity as it came from tho hands of our fathers.— General Cass fully concurs in theviews presented by the present able Secretary of the Treasury, that the war is "not a war for their subjugation, but a war for national existence, and that an auspicious result to the Union will benefit as largely the States in insurrection as the States which have remained loyal." lie believes, indeed, that though this "auspicious result" is important for all tho .States, it is stillmore important for the South than for the North. Xo man who regards the si. if the times can fail to anticipate ...•at .should this rebellion against the Union prove successful, which God forbid, the alienated sections would be influenced by bitter animosity toward each other the feeling in favor of abolition would be rendered still more powerful by the course of events, and being freed from the restraints which now ccntroi its action, would soon be in active operation all along the extensive border, everywhere open to incursions, producing the most fearful consequences,'which it would bo equally painful and unnecessary to describe.-— As to any conventional arrangement for the surrender of fugitive slaves, the effort would be simply impossible. It was with reference to this state of things that General Cass expressed the doubt whethcrapcrmanent peace could be maintained under such considerations, and the impression that.the result would lead to emancipation. This was the view he intended to present to Presidont Fairfield.

The American Flag in Berlin. The following is an extract from a dispatch from Mr. Judd, our Minister at Berlin: "T-he Gorman Turners Association of young men, for their mental and physical development, had a grand National Representative Celebration in the City of Berlin in the early part of August. A delegation of German Turners from the United States had also come to participate in the festivities, which, although largely partaking of a political character, passed without the slightest interference of the Government or police—a most hopeful sign for the causo of liberalism in German}' —and as our American Tumors had no banner, the flag of the American Legation was readily loaned them.— The Stars and Stripes had the first rank of all the representative emblems of nationality, the American Turners having been assigned the head of the proceBsionjand 1 had the pleasure of knowing that, although our flag cannot be cheered in Charleston, it was cheered most heartily in the Capital of Prussia on that occasion."

"ST. LOUIS, Sept. 26. 1861 a S I leavo at eight in

the morning, and send you this hurried note in the midst of the last arrangements before starting. We have to contend wTith an enemy having no posts to garrison, and no lines of transportation to defend or guard, whose wholo force can bo turned at will to any one point, while we have from Leavenworth to Cairo, and from Ft. Scott to Paducah to keep protected.— I wish to say to you that, though the position is difficult, I am competent to it and to the enemy in the field, but I am not ablo at the same time to attend to the enemy at home. "It is a shame to the country that an officer going to the field, his life in his hand, solely actuated by the desire to servo his country and win for himself its good opinion, with no other object, should be destroyed b}7, a system of concerted attack, utterly without foundation. Charges are spoken of when there are no charges, explanations when there are none to be made. What is the object of the repetition of these falsehoods except to familiarize the public mind to the idea that something was wrong? Already our credit which was good is shaken in consequence of the newspaper intimations of my being removed. Money is now demanded by those furnishing supplies. To defend myself now would require the time that is necessary to and belongs to my duty against the enemy.

permitted by the country this state of things will not fail to bring on disasters. But I never would have been attacked in my capacity as an individual. lam an exponent of a, part of the force of tho country. Everything that is directed against me is directed against it, and gives its enemy aid and comfort. My private character comes in only incidentallj-, and I defend it because naturally his reputation is dear to any man, but only incidentally. This is the foundation of many of my acts and will bo if I stay here. Everything that hurts, impedes or embarrasses the work intrusted to me, strike at it without hesitation. I take the consequcnccs. The worst that can happen to me is relief from great labor. Yours truly, "J. C. FREMONT."

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.

Gen. Fremont, with a part of his staff, left on tho train this afternoon for Jefferson City.

Reports reached here this afternoon to the effect that Gen. Price has dismounted all his horsemen, except four regiments, and is organizing his army for a determined stand against Fremont.

PERSONAL.

Major Valentino Bausenwin, Aid-de-camp to General Garabaldi, arrived in the city yesterday, and is stopping at the American. Maj. B. is a native of Turin, and has had considerable military experience under Garabaldi in tho Italian campaign. We understand he has been tendered a Lieutenant-Colo-nel's commission in the 37th (German) regiment, but refused to accept but will raise and take command of a German regiment, requests to that effect having already been made, and he being recommended to Gov. Dennison for the post, by Secretary Seward.

Col. Sibert of the 371^ (German) regiment is also stopping at the American. This gentleman had also served with honor in Europe. Previous to his sailing for this country, the minions of Jeff. Davis offerod him £50,000 to take a command in the rebel army. Ho. answered that he "was always ready to fight, but not against constitutional liberty."— Columbus Journal.

The Latest from Artemun Ward. Artcmus Ward commences his contributions to last week's Vanity Fair, with the following cheering paragraph:

Notwithstandin I haint writ much for tho papers of late, nobody need't flatter theirselves that the undersined is ded. On the contrary, "I still live," (which words was spoken by Danj'il Webster, who wa&"a able man.) Even the old line Whigs of Bosting will admit that. Webster is ded now, howsever and his mantle has probly fallen into the hands of sum dealer in 2nd hand close, who cant sell it. Leastways nobody pears to bo goin round wearin it to any particler extent now a days. The rigiment of whom I was kurnal finerly concluded they was better adapted as Home Gards, which accounts for yer not hearin of me ear this, where the bawls is the thikestand where the cannon doth rore. But as a American citizen I shall never sease to admire the m&Bterly advanse our troops maid on Washington from Bull Run. It was well dun! I spoke to my wife bout it at the time.

Cien. Fremont and tlie Rc-En-A forcemeiits for Mulligan. [From the St. Louis Democrat.]

A General, operating againstacountry in a state of insurrection, ha3 to adopt different tactics from ono who has to operate against an open enemy in the field. In one case, enemies appear suddenly and unexpectedly in locations which were considered tranquil, and in the other case tho enemy is always before him, so that, if he have only force enough at his command, ho can offer battle or surround and take him, thus extinguishing the war.

In the case of insurrection, it is absolutely necessary to scatter the forces in small numbers over the country, so as to afford protection to the Ioval and suppress incipient outbreaks ofthe disaffected. Under this condition vast masses of theseguerillabands may suddenly concentrate and surprise an isolated post before it is possible to collect sufficient force at the threatened point to repel an attack or protect the assailed. In this manner Mulligan was surrounded and taken, but not, as has been misrepresented, withoutsuperhuman efforts being made to ro-inforce him.'

Looking at the map of Missouri and following the course of tho river, wo find that it describes an arc of a circle, extending from Jefferson City to Kansas. Warsaw, in Benton county, would form the center of this circle so that an enemy at this point, advancing from the south, could as easily fall upon Jefferson City, Booncville, or, in fact, any of the important towns along tho river, as on Lexington.

So soon as it was apparently tho intention of Price to attack Lexington, evcrj7 effort that could have been made to re-inforee it was made, and Sturgis' army arrived in time to do so, and would havo succeeded could they have crossed the river but the very ferry boats collected there under tho guns of the fort for tho purpose of crossing Sturgis' army, four thousand strong, had fallen into the hands of the enemy and left them idle spectators on the opposite bank of the river.

Lane with a force of over eight thousand men, pressed on with all tho vigor possible from the southwest. Smith, with a force of one thousand, hurried down from St. Joseph, and Jeff. Davis had orders to break through the enemy's lines, and hurry on from Georgetown without transportation with a force of over seven thousand men.— Besides these, two boats with guns and over a thousand men, went up tho river in orddr to destroy the masked batteries which lined its banks. In fact such is the disposition of the Federal troops at this moment. They have so hemmed in Price that he will be obliged to give battle or surrender. In any event his fate is scaled, as it is the first time sincc tho war began in Missouri that the United States forces could meet the enemy in anything like approaching to equal numbers.

Two months ago, tho country was prostrate. Bull Run had been fought and lost. Washington was within the enemy's grasp. Insurrection existed within every county in this State, and even in this city it merely needed tho torch of insurrection to kindle it into a blaze. We were defended by a feeble Home Guard whose term of service had expired., -.•Unconquerable Lyon, with Spartan band, held at bay the rebel hordes who threatened us from the Southwest. lie was cut off by a distanco of over two hundred miles from this city, and surrounded by thirt}* thousand of the enemy. Pillow and Hardee, with»an immense forco, Avere within twenty-four hours sail of St. Louis. Cairo and Bird's Point were feebly garrisoned, and could have fallen an easy prey to the enemy.

Under these circumstances appeared amongst us Major-General Fremont.— By his consummate skill as a soldier, he so defended the approaches to this city on the Southeast, that an attack in that quarter was impossible, and the menacing attitude which he assumed so intimidated Hardee and Pillow that they retreated without striking a blow. Having collected an army tore-inforco Lyon, it unfortunately was diverted to Washington, and the time was too short befoi*e the battle of Springfield to collect another. The time of the three months' men having expii*ed, all had been disbanded, and in the face of a victorious foe he has now collected, equipped and pretty well drilled an army of over fifty thousand men.

For the first time within hie short term, (two months,) ho is in a position to assume the offensive, and wo must not be considered enthusiastic if we say that within three or four weeks there will not be an open enemy in Missouri.

Three classes of men have harassed, and in many instances succeeded, in thwarting his operations. The first class, the politicians, jealous of his growing power and popularity, have crippled his resources at Washington, and by that means endeavored to crush him by frustrating his designs.

Tho second class, the contractors, with whom he interfered in their onslaught on tho public property, havo spared no base insinuation in order to lessen him in public estimation, and thus remove Out of their way.

Tho third class, a lot of unthinking men, who merely re-echo the opinions of the other two parties, without themselves meaning harm, are not responsible for what they say. But the vast masses of the people who estimate a -i*rr

man by his worth, stand by Fremont. The army, who are capable of understanding his consummate movements, all stand by Fremont and in fact, all men who have nothing but the good of their country at heart, stand by him so that now his time having arrived, notwithstanding his heart-burnings, disappointments and thwartings, lie will descend like an avalanche, and sweep the enemy before him.

MeCULLOCII'S INDIANS.

There is no longer any room to doubt that the half-civilized tribes who occupy the Indian Territory west of Arkansas, have made common cause with tho rebels, and are joining McCuIloch's army in large numbers. The Cherokees, the most populous and wealthy of all these tribes, held a national council on the 21st of-August, in which they overruled their President, John Ross, and voted to "secede" from the United States. The Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, Seminoles, Osages and Pawnees had previously cast

their

lot with

Jeff. Davis, and many of thorn had joined the rebel army. Slavery prevails to a greater or less extent air ng them all, and the fact is sufficient to account for their action in the premises. The number of savages infected by the virus of secession appears to bo about 100,000, and they can probably send 10,000 warriors into the field, if Jeff. Davis can furnish that number of scalping knives. We learn from the Southern papers that one regiment of cavalry has already been organized among the Cherokees, commanded by a certain Col. Drew, and that a full brigade will be in readiness soon, if indeed it is not already mustered into McCuIloch's army of invasion now coming up from Southwest Missouri. It is stated, on apparently good authority, that the Government is determined to withhold the annuities due to these Indian's.— Wo suppose, also, that no effort will be made to pay them the money that Floyd etolo from their trust fund. Due i*egard, however, will "bo poirl to such property as they happen to have invested in human beings, because it is not likely they will employ their slaves "in or upon any fort, navy yard, dock, armory, ship or entrenchment, or in any military or naval service whatsoever against the Government or lawful authority of tho United States." The}* will keep them safe at home with the squaws, raising corn for Col. Drew's regiment.—Chicago Tribune.

Rumored Peace Propositions from Jeff. Davis. The Richmond correspondent of tho Memphis Appeal tells this improbable story:

We have a rumor on the street to-day which everybody is discussing, that President Davis has himself made propositions for peace to the reigning despotism at Washington. It came to our correspondent from a source entitled to great respect, but he does not state it as anything more than a general report

satl0n-

President, so goos le ill-

il mor, approaches the Federal Executive with the undeniable statement that his great army was rather badly whipped the other day at Manassas that the

Washington Cabinet must be convinced thereby that the idea of subjugating the Southern people is absui'd and that humanity shudders at tho effusions of blood, the immense amount of woe and suffering that must ensue from a further prosecution of this neodless war —needless because the final acknowledgement of tho Confederate Government is a "foregone conclusion therefore, ho goes on to say, the interests of mankind demand that an end should be put to the strife, and as the hour of victory is tho hour of magnanimity, he offers the olive braiieh. I need not, surely, tell you that the prevailing sentiment is overwhelming against the supposed offer, and that everybody says Beauregard should bo the great pacificator, through the persuasion— which the North itself employed to induce us to come back into the Union— of bullots and steel. It is maintained, however, that the President has put forth this proposition with very little hope that it will be accepted, designing, in the event of its rejection to make the attack on Washington without delay and with all possible determination and vigor."

An Intercepted Letter of General Buckner. The following letter, found on a spy of Gen. Buckner, shows the wicked and incendiary character of the man:

BOWLING GREEN, Sept. 10, 1SG1. Mr. George W. Triplett: MY DEAR SIR: Your letter is received. Lock No. 1 must be dostroyed.— I rely upon our friends at Owensboro to do it, and not an hour must bo lost.

Extract from the Speech ofDatoiel S. Dickenson, at Bridgeport.

We make the following extract froiri the patriotic speech of Hon. Daniel S. Diekennon on the rebellion, at the lato Union meeting at Bridgeport, Conn.: "I know not where this terrible war is to terminate. I know full well— ray heart teaches me, all experience teaches me, the history of the world teaches me that if1this rebellion can bfii put down at all, it is to be put down by power. You can never nurse a rebellion you can never treat with a rebellion it is one of the foulest crimes on earth, for it includes every other, and there is no crime in this dark catalogue but what has been committed in this terrible and wicked war. I invoke my fellow citizens everywhere, without distinction of party, without regard to party lines, offering up all upon the alter of their country to come up and help put it dow*n. Come fbrtvard, young men, volunteer, enlist, march away to tho battle field to put down this rebellion. Aged men, come up and counsil by your wisdom and inspire by your patriotism, and point to the noble deeds of our ancestors to show how blest is tho country. Let women—offering up her prayers and inculcating lessons of purity and peaco —let her lend her gentle influence, her mighty, controlling, heavenly influence, to cheer our men to go and fight this great battle for a country that has protected her sex, that has elevated her to a condition which women has nowhere else

been

elevated to in the history of

the world. Let little children envoko God's blessing upon those who shall rally'round their country to save that country to them in order that they may enjoy the heritage that their fathers bequeathed to them. Let all come together as ono community, laying aside the miserable selfishness of a politician, and the cold, calculating schemes —lay aside all, and come together with one heart and that heart genorous, open, liberal, sincere, to put down this rebellion and put it down forever.— [Great Applause.]

The Sons of New England, far and near, have been loyal. Whereever civilization has traveled, there you may find the sons of New England they go by the side of the shivering Icelander you may find them the companions of thosunbernt Moor the samo irresistable energy carries them forward. Our government has lasted now not more than the memory of man shall it. go down—shall the sun go down' in blood shall it go down in wrong—shall it go down in this terrible rebellion—shall those who havo been .pampered upon its lap—shall thoso who have been nursed at its fountains, shall they be permitted to bring it down in the fullness of its pride, in the mightiness of its strength, and destroy it for all time to como? [Cries of "No," "No,"] I am sure it never will bo, and to the end that it may not be, we must arise as ono people and put down the rebellion. Wo owe it to the memory of those who wrought out the great hciritage. We owe it to ourselves, to the cause of Liberty throughout the world, to the cause of Freedom that has advanced with rapid strides wo owo it to thoso who aro to come after us through the long tracks and down the stage of future time. What havoc has tbis terrible war already made, and what good has it brought to any fireside in tho land—what individual has it benefited—what charity has it endowed5—what religion has it encouraged—what art has it inculcated and what has it done but wrong and violence and blood? Rome once stood upon her seven hills in the mightiness of her power. It was afterwards sworn by the blood of Lucretia that every vestage of a monarchy should be expelled from the Eternal City, and wo find in after times that the empire of tho world Avas cried at auction for money. This Government stands upon, her seven hills now, and she will fall like imperial Rome to the cry of going, going, going, unless sho asserts her proud prerogative in the mightiness of hor strength and put down rebellion. [Applause.]
