Memphis was occupied tv the Federal forces on Friday without resistance. This achievement opens the Mississippi river to the commerce of the Union. Thus the folds ot the Great Anaconda are rapidly crushing out the rebellion. The fall ot Richmond, soon to be accomplished, will be the death blow to the Southern Confederacy. Another Alarm. A telegraph was received from General DuMo.rr on Saturday night, staling that reports were in circulation ot an intended attack upon Nashville by the rebel forces stationed -t Cumberland Gap. His call (or reinforcements was promptly rescinded to by our Sute officials. We siiuerely hope that the fears of General Dtmot weie the sole cause of Iiis alarm. Itartliulouirw fount)-.

The Democracy of Putnam county will hold their convention for the nomination of county officer? on Monday, the 16th inst., and on the Saturday previous the township primary meetingsVoorher' and Kic ha rdson's Speeche. These speeches, iu pamphlet form, will be ready for distribution on Monday next. We have already received orders for large number and we request those who desire them to send in their orders at an early day and they will receive prompt attention. The Democracy of Johnson county will hold an election on the first Saturday in August next, in the several townships for the nomination of candidates, "on the popular vote system." A Convention will be held at Waver! v, on the 3d Saturday of August, to nominate a candidate for joint Representative for the counties of Morgan and Johusou, and the townships are requested to select delegates to meet at that time. A Real and Kapitt Change. One of the most prominent and sagacious of the citizens of Northern Indiana write? us as fol lows: "I think the skies look bright with us. Everything appears to indicate a real and rapid change in popular s .ntiment upon upon the sectional questions which have hitherto distracted and distressed the country. The cause of the Union advances." Fort I'lllmi Evacuated. A rear movement appears to pervadehe rebel army of the Southwest. The last evacuation is the rebel stronghold at Fort Pillow. The forces there "retired in good order" to Memphis. The Federal flotilla is hard after them. Memphis must soon fall and the Mississippi river will once more be under the control of the United States from its source to its mouth. King MfM No royal family in the wurld is so costly to the people as King Culfy and his wife and children to us Americans. "I state," said Gen. Richardson, iii bis late speech in Congress, "and 1 think truthfully, that the Government is already paying $100,000 per day for the support and employment of negroes, p tying it, too, out of money raised through the toil, privations and taxation of our own kith and kin." The Mover f raud. We direct attention to the article we cony from the New York Herald th is morning on the subject of the gigantic swindle iu Indiana bonds. The censure ol the Herald upon the conduct of our Sute officials in their management of the matter may lie extreme, but it is n." --'together undeserved. 1'heir intentions l t ave been good, but their action in th- 'tatter ei bits, to say the least, an in -crction Uich will weaken public conä Jene in their Rbility to properly administer the affairs of the Sute. The tair fame of the Sute has been Urnisled by the weakness they exhibited iu jermitting the State by implication to become a party to the fraud. This raie presents another illustration of the folly of confiding the direction of public affairs to the men now in power. Public Drbt a Public tlvil. The Stover fraud illustrates some of the evils attendant upon a public- debt. It require a costly machinery to keep afloat the evidences of this indehteduat and pay the interest upon it. Many agents are employed in tlie work, and in every attiou or community where a public debt exists, or has existed, to a greater or less extent the cupidity of these agent has overcome their integrity to the loss of the public. If there had been o public debt the great swindle of Stover would not have been perpetrated. The corrupting influences of a public debt are manifested. We have only alluded to one pha-e of the many. If a public debt was prohibited, a thousand eviis would be prevented which the facility of contracting debt now develops and en courages Thousands of men who are now leaches upon the State through its agency, would be driven into producing emplov otfliit, and thus made to add to the general wealth, instead of subtracting from it. And we repeat, if we had no public debt there would be no door open to swindles like Stover's. One of the cardinal principles of the opposition to the Democratic party has been and yet is, that " a public-debt is i public blessing." In no view of the question can we so regard it. It is an evil which should be avoided if possible. It is a can ker worm which devours the substtnee of the from lhe South w 'est. By special dispatches from Cairo the following facte have transpired in reference to the operaof the division under lieneral Fore: ImJiately upon the occupation if Corinth it was forward in pursuit of the rebels under Price aod Van Do, who bad fled westward. Gen Granger commanded a deuchmcnt com-pf.-tsd of the .Id Michigan and 7th Illinois cRVal

ry. He soon came upon the rear of the enemy about six wiles southwest of Corinth and engaged them. Iu thought he lost some fifty men from the Tin Illbis. Having been largely reinforced, some accounts My by sixteen regiments of cavalry, the rebels were surrounded and forced to surrender. It is said from 5,000 to 10,000 prisoners were taken. A portion ot these have reached Pittsburg Landing em route for the Northern military prisons. The whole force of Gen. Pore has advanced some distance to the southwest of Corinth. The latest accounts from Fort Pillow, up to Tuesday night, the 3d inst , indicate the evacuation of that point by the rebel troops. A de serter states that the enemy commenced evacua ting on on the morning of that day, and that at night only three companies of heavy artillery

remained. The destination of the troops is stated j to be Memphis. An officer of the army, just returned from ... i Corinth, states that the army of Hallece cannot j remain at Corinth uuless new sources for supplying the armv are opened. This fact makes the j ,. I occupation ot Memphis a military necessity . i he i 1 v Mississippi must also be opened to that point as furnishing the only practicable avenue for the transportation of our army supplies. To the accomplishment of this object the attention of Hallecr is now undoubtedly directed, and we may hear in a few days of the fall of Memphis. The sending back of the prisoners by the rebels on parole on account of the scarcity of provisions furnishes some clue to the recent movements of Beauregard. For the lack of supplies he was undoubtedly compelled to fall hack, in connection with the overwhelming torce that opposed him. The opening of the Mississippi com plete by our flotilla can not long be delayed. This accomplished the area of the rebelliou will be rapidly circuniscrilied. The Stover I r.;ni Governor Morton is apologizing through the i press for his agency in the Stover swindle Although His Excellency may be the most inno cent and virtuous ot men. yet when he denies al complicity in this gigantic fraud for himself and his associates he should explain sever tl points r which look a little dark to the outside world. We understand from several sources that the present Agent of State soon after he entered upon the discharge of the duties of his office, nearly a I year and a half ago, had indubitable evidence Bf I " tio fraud; vet, for some unaccountable reason, .

And "on the same days," says Mr. Dickinson, "1 received a note from Governor Morton saving it was desirable the hole matter should remain a State secrtt for the present." For several months it was so tegarded by the Governor, the State Agent, the Loan Commissioners and the financial advisers of Indiana in New York.

And these instruments i- i , ... .. . - - lor the commission ot trauu thev knew were in in the possession of men who had thus used them.

Slrange reticence on the part of the Slate officials who had been advised of the fraud! There may be good and sufficient reasons which will ju-tify the Governor, the Agent of State, the Loan Commissioners and A Oakley Hall, Esq., for keeping the fraud a "State secret;" for allowing the State Agency in New York to cloak the crime of Stover and his confederates; for permitting innocent parties to become purchasers of the fraudulent bonds; for allowing men guilty of the crime of forgety to retaiu in

He kept the secret faithfully, until it became apparent that the swindle was of such a j magnitude that Stover and his confeder J ates could not fulfill their pledges, and that it could no longer be concealed from the public. Tlie Loan Commissioners, in the mean . time, had disposed of the war loan without prejudiee, and thru no longer had an object in keep- . iiijt the secret trom the public. Governor Mor- ; ton's only apology is, that he placed the matter : in the hands of the District Attorney of New , York, and acted subsequently under his advice. I This is no justification. Mr. A. Oakei Hall j may be a very wise lawyer and a very pure 1 man, but men of equal position and rep utation have been corrupted.

imposed upon if a knowledge of the eriui was concealed. Yet for months he kept the secret. He advised the Attorney General of New York "it wa.-. desirable the whole matter should remain a Slate secie: for the present." The Governor may have acted from the purest of motives, but it is at least a grave blunder, inexcusable in a high public official who assumes a superior ability in administering the affairs ot the Sute. W should not have said this much if Governor Mouton did not invite the criticism. And as he has requested us to publish an article from the New York Herald to relieve himself from responsibility in the affair, it is no more thau just to that paper that we should publish the following extract from it of a later date, to show the esti mate it places upon the conduct of the Indiana officials iu the affair: THE INDIANA KAI rn AND THE TBIBl'NK. ftrf1 in m litori.l i., vtr,l..v'- 7V.A, endeavors to throw all the blame of covering up I .. ft r the frauds in connection with the irregular issue of Indiana bonds upon District Attorney Hall, and al the same time to defend the Indiana State officials frcm all blame. This mean and con temptible dodge will not go down. The Indiana Sute officials were here and knew the facts, and it was their duty to go and make complaints before a police magistrate, and have the guilty parties arrested. This done, it would have been the duty of Mr. Hall to follow it up and attend to their prosecution. The District Attorney attends to those matters that are officially brought before him. Arrests of this kind are always made by virtue of complaints made before a magistrate, and the failure of the Indiana State officials to make the complaint makes them guilty of compounding the feloey. It was theirs, aud not Mr Hall's duly, to file this complaint

Not only were the Indiana State officials cognizant in J anuary last of the fact that irregular and fraudulent issues of bonds had been m ule, but we are informed that one ot the officials of the State knew it more than t year ago, yet took no steps to arrest it, but with full knowledge of the fact permitted the fraudulent bonds to be thrown upon the market in Wall street." The effort of the Tribune to throw the responsibility of covering the affair up upon the shoulders of Mr. Hall is therefore only the more mean and cowardly. This, however, with the defense of the Indiana State officials, is no mote that) might have been exvccted from that source. Greeley uud the Tribune have so long been mixed up in such jobs as free wool, improvement companies, elections of Seakers, Government contracts and other jobs in Washington, that it is nerfectly nat-

! ural that they should come to the defense of offi cials who ure crir'inally guilty of countenancing a fraud upon the public, and who, having full knowledge of the tacts, took no steps to arrest it. Svmoathv and fellow feeling, no doubt, prompted ih'e Tribune to defend those officials. It is high time that the necessary steps were ud out ,0 t!,e i2 1,1 di. ma officials the punishment that their course justv merits. It is said that one of the parties connected with the affair has already left the State, and unless immediate steps are taken the others will follow and elude punishment. When f ,. t p t i ever a fraud is committed in England the party guilty is arrested, tried, and sent to Botany Bay, and made an example of as u warning to all others. But here the guilty pa ties are permitted to escape, and others immediately follow in their footsteps. Thus a few years since the Schuyler frauds came out, and, through the tardy movements ot those whose duty it was to execute the laws, Schuyler left the country and escaped the punishment that he merited. A little l iter came the frauds in connection with the Ohio Lite and Trust Company. No efforts were made to arrest the person responsible for those frauds unti. he had eluded prosecution by sailing for Europe; and he is now reported in Paris, living in fine style. From all appearances the In (liana State bonds affair will end in about the same way, and no person be brought to punishment as a warning to coming generations. It is time in justice to ourselves as a nation, in justice to the thousands who are defrauded by these tr.ilis.K-liolw that an pi:imnli should lit- made of lhBw men. that all officials mav hereafter know the fate that awaits them for betraying trusts and neglecting their duties.

District Atturiie's Office, June 3, 1MB. $ My Dear Sir: Iu view of criticisms, in not well informed circles, disparaging your relation to i he Indiana stock frauds, I take pleasure in being able to assure your friends that no blame wlntever should justly attach itself to vou lor any delay of prosecution, since the frauds were nrst brought to your knowledge.

The pear is not yet ripe, and very much that will interest and instruct the public with regard to the recent fraudulent issue of bonds nurixirtiin- to It further appears that the State officials of Indiana were here about six months since, or at ' least as long ago as last January, and were at that lime cognizant of the fact that there was a larye irregular issue; and after consulting with the Slate agent, legal officials and parlies iu Wall street, pledged themselves to keep it a State secret, on the ground that an exposure at that lime would injure the credit of the Stote and prevent their negotiating the six per cent war loan then on the market. In this manner they succeeded in covering it up and keeping the fraud from the public until a tew days since, and are theieby guilty, under the laws ot this Stale of compounding the felony and punishable by imprisonment." This is the reverse of truth. Gov. Morton, who acts for his Slate, was here in February last on this business, having just been apprised of the existence of the fraud. Neither then nor ever did he give any pledge to "keep it a State secret," bor anv thiol of the sort. On the contrary, he gave formal notice of it at once to h .

From the Louisrille Democrat. Gen. Itutler s Order. o. . We give below the or I er of Butler at New Orleans When it was sent by telegraph it was generally discredited No one believed that any General of the Federal army would issue such an order. Butler did it. It does not surprise us much that be did it. He is about tit to do it . NOTICE. Headquarters Department or the Gt Lr,) New Orleans, May 15. 1?62. $ General Orders, .o. 2t$. As the officers and soldiers of the United Sutes have been subject to reneited insults from the women (calling themselves ladie-) of New Orleans, iu return for the most scrupulous non interference on our part, it is ordered that hereafter when any female shall, by woid, gesture, or movement, insult or show contempt tor any officer or soldier of the United States, she shall be regarded and held liable to be treated as a woman of the town plying her avocation. By command of Major General Butler. Geo. C Strong, A. A. G , Chief of Staff. The order that women who treated the soldiers

wiih ribalilrv anil nbuse should be treated as "wo men of the town," was, it seems, issued bv Geir ' - l I riutler. Its offensive meaning is attempted to be explained away; but the General had no business issuing an order that needed explanation upon such a point. It is s aid that by an ordinance of the city of New Orleans, women of the town who talk of tensive are to be arrested and taken to the calaboose; and that Butler only meant that women who insulted the soldiers should be arrested and imprisoned Why didn't he swy so, and not era ploy the offensive? If we were President we should find Butler some employment other than that of issuing proclamations. Of course we didn't expect Butler meant as his language upon its face imported; nor did we suppose such a meaning would be tolera ted; but why was such language used? We want that question answered. Such language is disgraceful to the cause. It is not a light matter, and should not pass without rebuke. From the Xt'W York Freeman's Journnl. The Yankee Scheme of Extermination The tollowing is an extract from a letter of a Yankee merchant in New Orleans, who has grown rich by his forty years' traffic among the people (here. For cold blooded atrocity it is hard to equal it; but we can tell the miserable fellows MM plot this mischief, that the brave men who i are fighting in the field only for the Union as it was, will never make this such a war of extermination. We can tell them also that the Democracy of the North will never consent to the subversion of liberty by keeping a sUnding army of a million of men at the South for the convenience of Yankee pedlers and preachers. The letter from which we quote is inserted, approvingly, by the Vainmtrvial Adeerluer of this city. The letter says: "It is useless to expect anything like a safe business, or personal safety, in any part ol the slave States, unless the whole country is held bymilitary occupancy and military power. Onethird of our population must be expelled from the country, and their places supplied by Northern colonists (!) It will take years to conquer the despots, and overthrow finally the social tyranny which has ruled absolutely wherevery slavery exists. I have lived here forty years. I know almost every one, and something of everything that is going on. I repeat, there must be a strict military occupauy ol this whole country for years; the population rftust be changed, and slavery be nbolished betöre peace and safety can be established in any part of this country. " A Sensi lli- Tax. The Senate vesterdav voted to include cotton iu the list of articles to lye taxed, and fixed the rate at one half cent jier pound. This a right ; eous tax. The silly talk of the New England : manufacturers that the agricultural interest- paid but a small proportion of the tax was unworthy I ot the Senate. I he tact is, this war has been a j godsend to the people ot New Knglwnd. ProtectI el by an outrageous tariff trom all foreign com I petition, thev have had a rich harvest since the war commenced. There is not a manufacturing j company iu New England that will not realize ; from ten to thirty percent, on its capital for the ! year ending the first of June. This is not confined j to ary one branch of industry, but includes all brauche- of manufacture. In the sale of cotton fabrics they have now a monopoly, and for twenty years there has not been si c i an amount of work done as has been doneduring the year just closed. The advantages reaped by New England from the war are not confined to the mere profits in dol lars and cents upon the vast supplies it has sold, but it has enjoyed the more than equal advantage of having had full employment in its factories for nil its population. New Kurland with her factories closel, and New England with her factories in operation, even if not making profits, a : u' ... ... . i. : . i 1 . .. : . ..t. . I . .. are very d:fferent. It is hard to imoeach the pa triotism or loyalty of any people, but judging of the present bv the past, it may not be extravagant to suppose that in case this war had had the effect of closing all the factories and stopping all the mills in New England, there would come up a cry from that section in favc. of peace. The tax ot one half cent, per poumVwill realize possibly about twelve millions of dollars. Tlie tax, in our opinion, should have been one cent per pound. It would have been no more than a just contribution by those who have reajied a golden harvest from the war which has distressed ami oppressed the agricultural population.

Yes, this is the spirit and this is the purpose of that class of Abolitionists of which this gentleman has assumed to be the leader. If none but blue bel

If, however, at any time, an army of Abolitionists from the North shall conclude to make a descent on the South, and this gentleman accompanies the army, I will thank you to let me know what regiment he is in. And when "Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war !" THE S01TH RICHLR THAN THE MORTH. The census testifies that Massachusetts, which is the richest non slaveholding State, could divide with each of her citizens $549. Rhode Island, which is the next richest State, could divide with each of her citizens $526; one other nonslaveholding State Connecticut could divide w.'.h her citizens $321. After this, the free ' Sute fall down to $231 ; then to$22tS, aud down . to $16(1 and $135. On the other h and, including whites and colored, South Carolina could divide j $1,001; Louisiana $806; Mississippi $702. and I Georgia $638, with her citizens. Alabamacould I divide $.rll; Maryland $428, Virginia $4113; Kentucky $376; Borth Carolina $357; and Ten I nessee could divide $248 with each of her citizens, j In a division of al! ths property accumulated byall the non-slaveholding States, it will give to ! each citizen $233; while all accumulate! by the various slave states will give to e.ch citizen $l'ill nearly double! It is not possible, with these facts before us, to believe that slavery tends to poverty. MORE JILLATTOES NORTH THAN SOl'TH. I call your attention to the "Compendium of the United States Census," chapter five, table seventy-one. There you will find that there arc more free mulattoes than there are free blacks in the free States. In Ohio there are seven mulatto e children for one in Virginia, according to the negro population; and in Indiana and Illinois there are five for one in Tennessee and Geirgia! As the white people of the North do not marry blacks, these mulattoes must have been Ixirn out of wedlock. While, then, there are more mulattoes in the free Slates thau blacks, in the South, on the contrary, there is only one mulatto to twelve blacks. SLAVERY THE CORNER-STONE. I indorse, without reserve, that much abused sentiment of an eminent Southern statesman, now no more. Governor Duffic, that "slavery is the corner stone of our republican elitice;" while I repudiate, as ridiculously absurd, that muchlauded but nowhere accredited dogma of 'I homas Jefferson, that "all men are born equal." God never intended to make the negro the equal of the white man, either morally, mentally or physically. BR0WNL0W PROPOSES TO TICN MISSIONARY. The cities and towns ot many of the interior settlements iu the New England and Northwestern States of the Confederacy, in my honest judgment, open a wider and more inviting held, at this time, for honest, faithful, evangelical mis sionary labors than Hindosun, Siam, Ceylon, China or Western Africa; for the reason, too, that the natives of these benighted lands, who have been denied the light of the blessed gosjiel, can not be held to as rigid an accountability, in the next life, as those who see the light, like the free soil jsjpulation of Jie North, and still love and do the deeds of darkness! I seriously con template getting up a missionary organization to be styled: "The Missionary Society of the South for the Conversion of the Freedom Shriekers, SpiritualisU, Free Lovers Fourierites and lntidel Reformers of the North." Christian masters and slaves of the glorious South can not remain guiltless, in a coming day, if they told their arms and look idly on at the heart sickening spectacle presented by not their brethren but their fellow-creatures of the Noith, in.! iln in. tlni: - In turn tlim triim ti i r ritwirniun tions!

True, the path of the Southern Missionary in the the midst ot the isms, cruelties aud crimes of lhe North, enforcing morality und honesty, would not be strewed with flowers. BROWNLOW CALLS CPON PRY.VE TO SHOW HIS FA1TU RY HIS WORKS. The assertion by Mr. Pryne, that Frederick Douglass and Sam Ward are intellectually his superiors, I doubt not. after the exhibition he has made of himself on this stand. But I do not think it follows, as a matter of course, that they are giants in intellect. They may be intellectually his superiors, and still be moderate men! These free negroes hail from Syracuse, but I will ask the gentleman one or two questions, and 1 insist on a reply to them. As he holds these two negroes iu such high esteem, both on account ol their integrity and talents; as they have sons, and Mr. Pryne says he has a little daughter would he be willing to see her unitel in matrimony to one of these buck negroes? Answer this question, and the colored persons here to night will know how to appreciate your friendship! Show your faith by your woiks, and marry your children off to the sons and daughters of these talented negroes! WIIKN hLAVKKY WILL BK ABOLISHED IN THE SOl'TH. He (Mr. Pryne) conclude by declaring that it was lime that slavery was abolished in the South, and, by innuendo, intimated that it would be done; and, as he avowed his determination to labor in the cause shouldci to shoulder with the j other of this kind, perhaps it will be gratifying to him to know when the good work will be ac complished. I am able to tell him the precise time when his labors will terminate, and he can communicate it to his colaborers. When the Angel Gabriel sounds the last loud trump of i mil. and calls the nations of the earth to judgment then, and not before, will slavery be abolished south ot Mason aud Dixon's line! THE Work PARSON PRAISES PRE- TON S HOOKS. on, brother Pryne. in the good cause; there is a good lime coining, i.nu 1 nope you maybe there to see it! The gentleman's BMMSSMfattions of the late Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, and his application of the trm ruffian to him, were in very bad tiste, since that gifted and brave man is in his grave, and has been for a length ot time. Preston S. Brooks was an hoaorable. generous, and high minde I gentleman, -and he who says otherwise i a slanderer of the dead, and the perpetrator of a falsehood unworthy of a professor of the Christian religion! BROWNLOW DKNOI NCKS RMTHl.K AN PRINClI'LJa AS RKVOLl'TIONARV. I need not here pause to speak of the threat these agitators have' uttered respecting the abolition of slavery in the Southern Sutee. One of the file leaders, who represenU the party, Senator Seward, said at a mass meeting in Ohio only two years ago: "Slavery can be limited to its present bounds; it can be ameliorated. It can be and it must be abolished, and you and I cau and must do it." Only a few months since, Senator Wade, of Ohio, declared that the North was the lord and master of the South; and that the South would be compelled to obey her lord and master, whether so inclined or not. Senators Wilson, Hale, &c. followed in a like strain, until lhe victorious jubilations w ere cone lu del. Similar scenes MBJSMMd iu the House of RepreseiiUtives very often last session; and from iheso blustering threats, this gentleman defiantly ventured to utter his boast last evening of a similar character. Iu his fanat ical outbursts of wild and fierce denunciation of the South aud everything Southern, he is but the echo of such demagogues and incendiaries aK 1 have named. Nay, he is the sattelite of Sewatd, Smith A Co.. and revolves around them as his primary! Their caidina I principles are as wicked, as revolutionary and as vile as those of the Fata er of Evil; and they have these unblushing, unscrupulous and unprincipled clerical hacks, and others, giving out their hostilities over the couutry! THE PARSON WAXES ZKALOIS UK O0E8 FOR RE Dt'CINO ALL AFRICA TO BLAVERT. Really, the only way to civilize aud Christian -

ize benighted Africa is to annex that vast continent to the United States, and let our people teduce them to slavery, set them to work and thus develop the resources of Africa. Their lands are the finest in the world and adapted to the cuiture of coffee above all other lands. The English, French and Spanish people are not the people to own and direct Africau laborers they exercise too much cruelly. God looks to the people of tlie United States to develop the resources of Africa,

and I honestly believe lie requires us to do that work. Talk about filibustering and tire unlawful seizure of property in possession of others! The Africans have forfeited-their country by refusing to labor. If they will not do so of their own choice, they must be compelled to do so or starve. The negro will noi work without some one to make him do so. Man is doomed to eat bread in the sweat of his face. Let us seize upon the vast territory of Africa, cultivate its rich soil and force its millions of in dolent, degraded and starving natives to labor, and theieby elevate themselves to the dignity of men made in the image of God! Christian men at the South, who take a correct view of this question of slavery, will no longer make provisou in their wills, or otherwise, for the emancipation of their negroes, and cast them helpless upon the frigid charities of the anti-slavery men of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and the New England States. Let them sell their slaves to Southern planters here and direct the proceeds to be applied to the opening of new slave States iu Africa, where we may settle down and compel the natives to labor, thus causing civilization and Christianity to spread over a few millions of its population, and the moral effect would be irresistible. THE PARSON A.AIN WARNS THE ABOLITIONISTS' Iu conclusion, I am no alarmist; I am no spiritual dreamer; I am no prophet, nor am 1 the son of a prophet; but allow me to say there exists among the villainous agiutors of lhe slavery question at the North a determination to doom to utter extinction both the rights and institutions of the South. It nuite iinnossible that the siirns of the times can be miscoiisiruel A ilissolntion i of the Union is what a large portion of Northern Abolitionists are aiming at. No longer ago than the 4th of August, lr-.jrs, the "Liberty Party ," as , thev style themselves, held a Convention at Syracuse, aud nominated Gerrit Smith, for Governor. My friend, kev. Abrain Pry lie. figured largely in that meeting. He was the chairman ot lhe committee on Resolutions, and, of course. wrote, as well as reported, what was adopted. I quote one of his resolutions, adopted with great telat by the Convention: 'Ri'tolrrd. That American slavery is a crime against GihI and man, of such magnitude that no forms of law can change its infernal character no limitations oi restrictions of its territories or pow ers IBM reconcile us to its continued existence; but we raise our voices in the name of God and humanity to demand its eradication from every foot of the soil of our country."' lean tell the gentleman, and all who are of like resolution, that if their great grand children live to see "American" slavery eradicated from the States South, where it now is, they will live till their heads are as gray as a Norwegian rat. We came honestly by our slaves at the South we aie teaching them as the law of God dire-ts and before we will have them seized and carried off by Abolitionists, we will pojr out our blood as freely as we would water. The South is i.ble to t ike care ol herself, and she intends to do it at all hazards and to the last extremity And when your blae belliel Yankees come South with "Sharp's ritlesand Holy Bib'es," Ui seize upon slaves, let me icll you that they will not find themselves in Kansas. Another ICebellion. The Louisviile Democrat, in discussing the present asrect of public affairs, remarks: Men niisuke devotion to party for patriotism, and the love of power for a love of the Union. This Republican party apraar united for the Union, Constitution and the enforcement of the laws. The reison is not that they feel any devotion to the Union, or any patriotic devotion to the supremacy of the Goveremeut iu its sphere; but because this rebellion is against the Government administered by them. It is a burning in dignity offered to their party pride They can claim little credit for supporting an Administration they put in power, whose honors and emolu ments they enjoy. e A faction in the United States assume to manage what belongs to the whole, and treat with contempt the interests and wishes of a community they legislate for. It is the end and object of this faction to exercise their brief power so as to change the condi tions of the Union, and compel a Union they aud their party can manage. In reply to the inquiry '-what are you going to do about it?" the Democrat proposes to "resist by all lawlul and constitutional means." Aud it adds: This rebellion we shall engage in will succeed. The ballot box is the place to hht for political rights, and the whole pBMBBl the judges. Nobody was ever oppressed whilst the ballot box was depended on; nor will it fail in the Sutes still loyal. Kentucky is for the Union, and for putting down this armel rebellion. She has no party in1 terest to subserve. It is not her Administration; but one odious to her people. Rega:dless of party ties and sectional lies, she has unsheathed the sword for the Union, the Constitution and the enforcement of the laws. Are not the mass of this Union with Kentucky iu this? We be lieve they are, and that their verdict against all factions and sectional action is certain to be ren dered in lime. Something for the Politicians to Think of. The elections are approaching. The people will soon have to pass upon the conduct of their representatives in Congress. The nnti slavery cry is not so potent as it was. Its repetition actually serves to increase the numbers of those who care nothing for paities, yet care everything for the Union. We do not believe that one-half the Republicans in the present House of Representatives who have exhibited an unremitting determination to make this war a war for the abolition of slavery, and nothing else, will be re elected. The;r places will be filled by conservative men; indeed it is more than prob ible that a majority of the next House will be Democratic. We speak these things because we arc independent observers of events. We speak of fads, caring nothing which party may be injurel or benefited by them. The insane and everlasting cry of slavery has driven thousands of Republicans into that conservatism w hich, if the choice comes between a wild man on the subject ; of emancipation, nnd a Democrat, will make j them prefer the latter. The election in this Sute i on the 1 7 tit of June will probably open the eyes of some of our politicians to the fact that lhe I people are tired of the negro. Whatever may I be the fate of the new Constitution, the clause I prohibiting negro immigration will be adopted by j a vole so decisive that it will leave no doubt as ! to the feelings of the people. Is it not useless, ! therefore, to preach about emancipation to men who will not permit the emancipated negro to re j side in this Sute? Is it not ridiculous to ask men , to get excited over the suppression of negro schools in North Carolina, when the negro is '. kicked out of every public school in Illinois, with i the exception of the schools iu ihiscity?

In conversation with some of our large New England manufacturers, we learn that India cot ton is getting much iu favor with them, and some of them have sent large orders out for this cotton, preferring it at the present prices to American Tl.c regard it more favorably than lhe English spinners, since ihev have had experience in work ing it. As to the burning of the cotton at the South, our manufacturers consider it will operate bench' Lilly to them if one half of the crop is burned. The stocks of goods are so large that there is no doubt of .m ample supply of cotton to ' meet the consumption (or many months to come, ! and the manufacturers will be benefited rather : than injured by having ih staple come forward for the remainder of the year slowly and at high prices.

Wall street has been in a commotion for sever al days past over the preliminary development of a fraud in the issue of Indiana State bonds that bids fair to assume gigantic dimensions, and is . likely to eclipse any thing of tne kind that has U- ' ken dace in Wall street during the last twenty I years, possibly exceeding lhe Schuy.er frauds so i long notorious. There is yet a great deal of 1 mxstery alout the hole affair, aud no one knows ! the number of bonds issued or thcamount fraud u j lently thrown upon the market. There appears ' to have been the greatest possible looseness about I their issue, and as yet no one can tell not even I Mr. Stover himself the amount that has been ! offered to the public. Whatever fraud there is in this matter seems to have grown out of the loose manner in which j the business was done at the office of the Indiana State agent iu this citv, and extends back to

It appears that the State authorities have been in the habit of sending a blank book of bonds to the Sute agent in this city each and ! every year. These blank bonds were all signed I by the necessary State officers and registered bej fore they were sent from Indianapolis, and only ; needed to be filled up by the agent here and coun tersigned by him to make them valid; nor did i the State officials require a sutement of the numj ber issued, or the return ot the books at the close of the year. The Sutte agent, up to the i latter part of the year 159, was also per 'mit ted to employ the signature of his deputy, or clerk, in verification of the certificate as finally issued. This practice prevailel until the hazard of this looseness caused a change in the system of verification; but, strange to say, the State officials did not even thcu recall the blank books that were used under this loose system, but left them where further irregular issues couIJ be made. It is rumored that one or two of these books disapeared trom the office, and that the blanks were filled up and extensively used to rai-e money in Wall street. The State authorities long since apparently had suspicion that irregular issues were being made, but took no steps to stop them, simply securing the passage of a law declaring that the State would not be resjonsible for anv irregular issues made in New York. It further appears that the Sute officials of Indiana were heie about six months since, or at least as long ago as last January, and were at that time cognizant of the fact that there was a large irregular issue, and after consulting with the State airent, legal officials and parties iu Wall street, pledged themselves to keep il a Sute secret on the ground that an exposure at that time would injure the credit of the State and jirevent their negotiating the six per cent war loan then on the market. In this manner they succeeded in coveriug it up and keeping the fraud from the public until a lew days since, and are thereby guilty, under the laws of this Sute. of compounding the felony and punishable by imprisonment. All those officials who knew that this fraud existed, and connived at ii by not taking immediate steps to expose and arrest it and punish the guilty parties, have committed a criminal act, aud are punishable alike with the principal in the affair by imprisonment; and let us see if our legal officials and courts of justice will discharge their duties. It has already been ascerUiued that nearly two millions were irregularly or fraudulently disposed of here, and it may yet be shown that as many more, or even double and treble the amount, mayhave been sent to Europe and disposed of there. Inasmuch as the agents were permitted to fill up the blanks just as he desired aud dispose of ihetu whenever he chose, there is no telling at present what has been done, nor the real exteut of the fraud committed. The Indiana Sute officers, who consulted wiih parlies here several mouths since in regard to the exposure, acted, it is said, under the idea that the credit ot the State would suffer by the exposure. Their silence in the matter, now that it has come out, has injured the State's credit a hundred fold mure than it it had been promptly and fearlessly met at that time. Had a decisive course been taken bv the Slate officials, the financial world would have seen that there was a desire on the part of the authorities of the State to protect its interest and credit ; but ! on the other hand, they being in possession of the I ids, with a full knowledge of the fraud, as the i sequel shows, their countenancing the act until I tlie natural result of business igikes il known to the public, places the State in the position of aiding aud assisting the fraud, aud makes its officers accomplices in compounding the felony by keeping it a "Sute secret." Their case is one which demands immediate, decisive and prompt action on the part of our legal officials here. Mr. Stover, the person who is charged with being the principal iu the affair, has been arrested, and will no doubt be punished; but the matter I should not be permitted to rest there. It is of j the greatest possible moment that the financial recoid of the Northern States should be without a blemish and purged of every suspicion of fraud ' during the trying times that we are now going 1 through. European Governments should not I have the opportunity to a single act on the part I of any of the Northern States (hat could awaken ' the least suspicion or tend to injure our credit. The connivance iu this fraud on the part of the officials of one State reflects upon all of the I jj hi jma iv.'i aiiu iiiw vaiv vv ivu'v. w j blemish is for our authorities to boldlv and tear lovai Slates, and the only to remove tins lesfdy take hold of the mat'.er and deal out to the I guilty parties the punishment that their attempt j to cover up the fraud justly merits. Every and I all officials who countenance! the fraud, and ate ' thus guilty of compounding the lelouy, should be ' de ill with according to the full extent of the law. ! Let the proper authorities in New York whose ! duty it is to execute the laws in reference to these . negligent and guilty officials see to il that they do not increase still further the uumber of guilty- ot1 tk-ials by remaining ijuiei aud uking no steps to ' bring about their punishment. Let them promptly proceed to remove the stain from our financial ! record and good name that the criminal act of I these State officials has placed upon it. This ' much, at least, the public demands at their hauds N. Y. Herald, 4A.
