Jr At tho afternoon, session of the Senate yesterday,. Senator AY hit taker offered resolutions requesting John C.

Breckinridge and Lazarus IT. Powell to resign their seats in Congress,..as they.do not represent the will of the people of Kentucky, and if they decline to comply, the Senate of the United States is respectfully requested to investigate their conduct, and if found to. bo in ojjposition to tho federal government that they expel 1 them from their seats. They were passed by a vote of 20 to 5, and sent to the IIouso •yp-Kich adjourned without action upon them.

This morning they came upas the unfinished business of the IIouso, and a suspension of the rules to consider it, was refused by a vote of 40 to 30.

JEVFERSOX CITY, Sept. 30.

f\ General Fremort. preserves strict silence. He is said to be actively engaged in obtaining the exact number of troops he can command, and organizing plans for the approaching engagement, upon the success or failure of which he is to rest his reputation and win or lose his all. 'T Every'day an increased interest is felt in tho approaching battle, for it is generally supposed that it will decide the fate of Missouri.

Some persons murmcr at tho delay, but Gen. Fremont, is determined to have everything ready before he advances, and not to strike a blow before lie believos it will be effective.

NEW YORK, Oct-. 1.

A special dispatch to the N. Y. Herald says: Gen. McClellan's stall visited tho outposts of the army of tho Potomac, inspecting the natural as well as the conStructcd fortifications about Munson's Ilill, Fall's Church, and Upton's Hill.

The inhabitants in the vicinity state that the rebels were but half clad, and worse fed, and most of them without shoes. They had no money, but an .abundance of shin-plasters with which they paid for their forced purchases.

In a deserted' house near Munson's Hill several letters written by the rebels wore found, in all of which they state it was the intention of Beauregard to attack our fox e.cs on the^Otli.of September. ...

s,,(

Tho observatory balloon has been advanced to Upton's Ilill. a mile and a half this side of Falls Church.

Up to ton o'clock to-niglp,t all. is,quiet along the line, r7 Considerable changes have taken place in the different camps.

On Sunday a thorough reconnoissance was made on Munson's Hill and surrounding -country, .V,,A newly constructed military road, about three miles in extent, connecting

Mason's and Munson's Hills, was discovered. ,'?n" It was located with admirable judgincntfor the defense of retreating troops and boro marks of the recent passage o£ troops. .The river, t.o-day. at all the places where tho rebels, had any hopes of crossing is 6 feet above fording depth.

Tho reconnoissance of tho rebels has prpbably developed to them the .condition "of the river.

Nothing has been-seen of the rebels in front of Banks' column to-day. 4- powerful, squadron is blockading Freestone I'o-int and Occoquan Creek, while Aquia Creek and lower down the Stream -is watched by scVeral United States steamers.

Tho flag staff which had the rebel flag .flying at Freestone Point has not 'been seen since Saturday, and the place is apparently deserted, though this movement looks like a feint.

It is'bclieyod that the rebel chief has sent.forward into Kentucky, by railroad v.ia Nashville, a large part of the forces'recently in Virginia.

If this is true, the abandonment of the lines in front of Washington is cas-

ily. Accounted for. It is believed that Buckuer has been lastly reinforced from.the rebel army of thfPotomac.

this evening, from a responsible gentieiiihn.cif Cincinnati^ to the following

Proceedings of the Union ISasIict Meeting held at Linden, Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1861. %1

According to previous announccrhcnt a large assemblage of persons convened in tho forenoon, in a bcantiful grovo on., tho farm of C. W. White, Esq., near Linden. On motion of Mr. Jas. Stoddard, Dr. J. B. Johnson was called to the chair, Messrs. Jas. McClnrc and N. L. Washburnc chosen Vico Presidents, and L. C. Priest, Secretary. Key. Ir. |l|chncis, ot PonMy :q'itfcjut, JopcncJ

rfhc

meeting by an abl6 *ancl 'earnest prayer, invoking the blessing of Almight}* God

upon

our efforts to pre

serve our glorious Union. Hon. A. S. White then addressed the.quiet .multitude in an able, eloquent, and patriotic manner. He spoke at considerable length on the early history of our country and., its founders tho Border States, in his opinion, held tho i.rod of empire in their hands, and he regretted the wavering coursrcrthcy have pursued. He uygbft, nidst ^6Votis prosecution of tiio"w&5.5^^&^c permit tho National Capital"?to fall into tho hands of the rebels, this Republic would soon' bo numbered .among the. things that were and are not. He-paid a glowing tribute to Judge Douglas on account of his last speeches and letters. If tho people of the loyal States do not act together.as a unit, all efforts to preserve their liberties will behopcl.css. At the conclusion of his address, the meeting adjourned till afternoon.

AFTERNOON* SESSION.-^-At 2 o'clock the meeting was called to order by the President, and was addressed by John Lee, Esq., in an honest, able and earnest speech—just such as the times demand. At present,

while

our national

welfare is so seriously, threatened, lie was neither a Democrat nor a Hepublican, but simpb*

nn.American

citizen.

He called upon his Democratic brethren to come to the rescue. Would they prove recreant to the trust reposed in them by their fathers? It was not a time to talk about political questions. Should a Republican ask him to speak on the principles of the Chicago platform, ho would turn from him with scorn. Noither could he be induced to advocate Democratic doctrines now He did "not come to advocate Republican tenets, but thought that the charge against Mr. Lincoln for violating the Constitution was groundless. Some of his Democratic friends called it an abolition war. but he did not regard it as such, but threw the blame entirely 011 the seceded States said there was no more cxcuse for secession now than when Washington signed the Constitution. Had such a President as Jackson been in Buchanan's stead, rebellion would have been crushed in embryo. This was no time to talk about party differences. We should rally around that banner under which our fathers fought. lie denounced resistance to the laws in tho severest terms exhorted his hearers to stand by the rulers of the land he did not love his party less but his country more?' Can Democrats turn their backs upon their friends in the battle? No sneers could induce him to pursue such a course he would follow the fortunes of his beloved country, and if necessary die beneath her flag.' In conclusion, he drew a strik*im? picture of the consoquences should the rebels succeed in destroying the

Union. In response to the call of many auditors, John S. Williams, Esq., contributed greatly to tho interest of the meeting by some very appropriate remarks. He had not come to crave suffrage, but to discuss'matters interesting alike to the people and himself This was not Lincoln's war. Secession had, its origin in 1832. He showed that South Carolina had always "been a treasonable State. He considered that all parties were.,to 'blame. The Administration was not rcsponsible-for our troubles. It had given the South no excuse for secedingr The Republican party li rid organized th e' new. T'crri to ries just as Kansas and Nebraska had *been oi-ganizod under James Buchanan's Administration. They lvad also amended the Constitution do that Slavery could never be abolished, in the States. Ho believed, the President had done nothing but what the Constitution made it his duty to do. Those who say so much about' his violating the Constitution never say anything about Jeff. Davis'violations of it. It was foolish to talk of compromise.— With whom will you compromise? So help him God he would never compromise with men in rebellion against the Government. Peace with rebels, and pirates he. was not in favor of, till God forsakes the world. No compromise would suit the Conspirators, but a division of the Union. We must put down rebellion wo must have a.'united North and present an unbroken phalanx,to tho enemy.

At the conclusion of the above-nam-ed gentleman's speech, the meeting adjourned at 4^ o'clock. -. :j: ....

Past Grand Masters of Masons in the several States are called' to liiiet in Louisville, Ky., on the'third Tuesday of October to consult "upon the most feasible plan of a fraternal and honorable ajustmeht" of the present difficulties in our country.

Good JVevvs for Wesiern Fanners. Wo make the following extract from Wilmer's Liverpool European Times, of the 11th of September. It contains gratifying information for the Western farmer: ''The most

painful

intelligence from

Franco is the deficiency of the last harvest. This deficiency, it is now ascertained, is much greater than was previously supposed, France, it is estimated,^ will be compelled to spend forty millions sterling this year to make up the.deficiency. The price of flour is.rising throughout France. We stated recently that large quantities of flour were being shipped from Liverpool to various, ports in Franco and wc now learn that sixty millions of francs in gold have been sent to Russia to purchase grain- This sad disastor will react upon the English tnarket, and will affect, more or less seriously, all the grain inafkets in the world. Happily, plenty of grain fbr exportation is to be had in Russia and on the western shore of the Atlantic. Both Canada and the United States will be impdrting largely into France the moment this intelligence arrives out."

The Ileal Attitude of tli£ English Government, [From tlio London Ktar.]

We are glad to be able to contradict^ in the most positive manner, tho alarming statement made by one of tho Now York journals, and repeated by some correspondents-of English newspapers. The statement was to the effect that Mr. Adams tho United States Minister to this country, had written home, expressing his belief that the British Government regarded the recognition of Southern indepedcnco as a military and political necessity, and delayed that recognition only from motives of prudence and courtesy. We-are assured that Mr. Adams lias made no such communication to his Government and could not, from the tone of his interview with Member's of the British Cabinet If it was otherwise—if the United Slates minister had felt it his melancholy duty to prepare Mr. Lincoln for the-virtual alliance of Great Britain with the slaveholders' rebellion—it would be a matter of more concern to us than to theUnited States for neither in a milltry nor political point of view would such astepbe less impolitic than faithless. The

war

is but just begin

ning, and all tho antecedents of the Northern race justify the belief that their first efforts would be theleast success! ul. They have encountered one signal disaster, and have set about repairing it with the patient vigor of men who can afford to make sure their next advance at any expenditure of labor & money, with the dignified humility that is not above learning from defeat and danger, they have throughly fortified their own capital before making another attempt upon the enemy's. They have

made

of Washington an arse

nal and a depot, as well as a fortress. They have collected there an immense store of guns, with sr»inany horses as to suggest to our special correspondent that General McClcllan means to win the campaign with field artillery. If the new cominandrr has not under his orders a much 1 rger array than his predecessor ho has brought it into infinitely better condition. He has certainly checked the approaches of Beauregard to the lines before Alexandria, and could probably inflict upon assailants ?, severe repulse. If he is not master of the south bank of the Potomac from Harpor's Ferry to Fortress Monroeho has collected a maritime force sufficient to render the passage of tho^river almost impossible. The physique and morale of tho new levees are such as to satisfv even the experienced eye of Mr. Russel. The maritime superiority of the Federalists-is also now becoming practically manifest. The hardy seamen of the New England seaboard arc entering for service on board the gunboats built with marvelous eclcrity in the dockyards of Maine and Massachusets. A naval expedition of four thousand

men

and one hundred

guns has left Old Point, probably for tho coast of North Carolina. On the Southwest, the banks of tho Mississippi are likely to witness the advanceof an overland expedition against New Orleans.

A Regiment of Lancers to be Raised. An officer direct from Washington informs us that it was reported when he left that some prominent gentlemen had procured authority from the President to raise and equip complete arcgimcnt of lancers, sixteen hundred strong.

We heard of this last week but were not then permitted to speak of it thro our columns. We are now authorized to say that tho report is correct, and that the same will bo officially announced:

In the mean time we may say that this regiment will be organized, armed and equipped after the moddel of the Sixteenth Lancers in tho British service—that very full powers have been conferred on parties to make this a moddel regiment, and that no pains or expense will bo spared in raising this corps and meeting the high expectations of tho department.

It is expected and intended to'officer the lancei's mainly with competent and experienced cavalry officers from abroad—and that as many privates as can be raised, will be those who have seen foreign seiwicc. Although not permitted to open recruiting stations abroad, it is certain that when this enterprise is understood by our Canadian friends, many a volunteer will join from the opposite side of tho river. Tins very thing.will do much, very much, to bring about a stronger bond of union between us and our neighbors across the Detroit river .^Detroit Tribvne.

COMPROMISE.

Is it not truly singular that men "will still talk about "compromise" and tho horrors of "civil war" when there is nothing surer than that ther South will consent to no compromise, nor ,any terms of pcacc short of tho absolute ^nd unconditional acknowledgement of its independence as a separate nation—a provision to which the great mass of tho people of the North arc determined never to submit. As an evidence of what we have said in regard to the determination of the seceded States, wo will state that all the leading papers of tho South, which may be considered the best index to public sentiment, denounce any compromise that docs not lead to immediate independence. Tho Richmond Enquirer ridicules all and every attempt to~end the tfar on affy other basis. Tho 'New Orleans Crescent, a leading and influential Southern journal, commenting on tho letter of acceptance of Mr. Jewett, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Ohio, says: '-Perhaps it would bo as well fbr 3£r. Jowett to wait until we express a desire for a "compromise" before I10 volunteers his determination that ho has none to make. Probably he had better wait until wo ask for "terms" boforo ho professes that lie has "nono to offer." If the Northern people suppose we aro' fighting for compromise or terms, they had as well get rid of that littlo delusion at once. Wc aro fighting for independence and separate nationality. If we were allowed to dictate our own terms for a. further Union with the J\ort,h, we xcoxdd scorn and spurn the proposal.11

Such is the feeling that pervados tho Confederate States. "Peace and_ compromise'' then is absolute submission, There is no alternative, we repeat, but dissolution 01* wa.\ Will our "Lnion, Constitution, Compromise and .no Civil War't' men- ey^r see tKe truojssuo and. accept it?—JFrankfort Crescent.

SiNfi'TLAR.—Captain Kylo, of the schooner Affair, reports that while passing Wraukegan Lake Michigan, on tho 4th of September, he came, upon a "shoal" of grasshoppers, twelve or fifteen feet wide, and nearly ten milea long. Tho swarm must have been driven off the shore by some strongcurrcnt of wind.—Dctroit Free Press.
