MONDAY, - - SEPT. 14. A Word to Subscribers and Friends. We call the attention of the subscribers to the Weekly Sentinel, and iu friend throughout the State, to the f.tct that a large nurrber of üb- j scriptiona will expire within a few weeks. We! hope that the old subscribe! will not only renew their subscriptions, but thnt all who tike an in teres t in the success of Democratic principles will make an effort to largely increase the circulation of the Sentinel. Our political opponents are making ose of every agency to misrepresent the motives an 1 actions of Democrats and the Democratic party, and the bet menus to counteract these efforts is the circulation of Democratic papers; but the press can not live without material aid, and its usefulness will depend in a gTeat measure upon the support it receives. Let our friends throughout the State act as voluntary gents in proenrin subscribers for the Sentinel, and the more liberal the encouragement we receive in an increased circulation, the et eater will be our efforts for the success of it common cause Consistency The Cincinnati CmmeHal became very indignant because Vallasimgh am, Voorhees and Bexjamih Wood happened to meet on British soil. But it is all riht. in the estimation of that same organ, for Mobtox, Seward, Lord Lyons ami other foreign magnates to hold a conference upon the plains of Abraham near Quebec, and take the grand tour of the British provinces to gether. Notwithstanding the "cruel war" is draining the resources of the country and thousands ol the sons of Indian are sa:rificing their lives for the preservation of the government, our ''noble Governor", who desire to be considered par excellence the soldiers friend" finds time to dance attendance upon English lords and ladies upon a soil where no sympathy whatever is felt in the struggle to maintain the nation's life. The Commercial can see the moat in its neighbor's eye, but not the beam in its own. The War .tens. The news received from Charleston and Tennessee the past two days records some of the most.imporUnt successes of the war. The occupation of Knoxville, the surrender of Cumberland Gap without opposition, and the evacuation of Chattanooga by the rebels not only puts Tennes see in the possession of our forces, but severely cripples the rebellion generally. The surrender of Fort Wacner, B ittery Gregz and the possession of Morris Island by General Gftiioar. incicate the speedy fall of Ch irleston. These reverses of the rebels, especially in Tennessee, look as though the reported demoralization of Bbagg's nrmy has not been exaggerated and that the rebel armies in the southwest are rapidly crumbling away. Unless it should turn oat that Dbago and Joux8TOX are concentrating their forces for some desperate effort, armed rebellion in the south we-1 will soon be at an end. The Old Doctrine ttnd the New. The lamented President IIarrisox, in a speech at Fort Meigs in 1S40, expressed sentimeuts which, like many of the doctrines tml opinions of the fathers of the republic, contrast singularly with the ideas now current among those who monopolize the administration of national aff.tirs, and, il we may believe them, monopolize, nlo, all the loyalty of these times. The following are President Harbi&ox' words: The oid ftsliioned republican rule is to watch the government. See lh.it the government does not acquire too much power. Kepa check upon your rulers. D this, and liberty is site. And if your efforts should result succfssfuly. and I honUI be placed in the Presidential chair, I shall invite a recurrence to the old republican rule, to watch the Administration, Htid to londeniti all its acta which are not in accordance with the strictest mode of republic intsm. Our rulers, fellow citizens, must be watched. Power is insinuating. Few men are ati96ed with lew power than tbev can obtain. If the ladies whom I see around me were near enough to heir me. and of sufficient age to give an experimental answer, they would tell you that no lover is satisfied with the first finite of Iii-1 mistress It is necery. therefore, to watch, not the political opponents of an administration, but the administration itself, aud to see Chat it keett within the bounds t the constitution and the laws of the land. Ap: Ij. for a moment, the above patriotic doc trine, obviously so vitally essential to the preservation of our liberties, to the position taken by Absah am LtxcoLX, in his assumption of auto era tic and, law miking powers, under what be c ills the "law of war." Thus tested, what does Li jcols prove to be? A War with Franc Itt Pratspeet. The new from Europe is not so peaceable as we might w:sh. Frunee is evidently preparing to carry out a complete programme of aid and as sUlAiicts to the Confederates; or is organizing for the possession of Texan, ander nome pretence of restoring to Mexico its ancient territory. Louis Xapoleou's schemes ate not eisy to retd, yet enough may be foreseen, from the tenor of Ute European news, to fill the American mind with foreboding; and compel us to look forward to a contest with France, more formidable than that we have encountered Curing the la.; to years. In the past, it has been the characteristic of the Yankee to deel we himself ' ible u whip all creation," and when foreign nations have looked for two years upon his effort! to f oppress the rebellion of a portion of his own kindred, they naturally conclude these boastings rain, and incline to take advantage of the quarrel for their own benefit. If Louis Napoleon imagines that oar Government would lack vdunteers to fight -the legions of France in an attempt to give aid and comfort to our enemies, hi will count without his host; for, in euch a caoxe, free soldiers wo old swell our ranks, until the Frenchmen were driven discomfited from every inch of territory we mieht rightfully claim as oar own fN"ew York Sun. ; A Piif ITCAL PtEstDixT Il is reported that a plan is projected by Senator Wilson, of Maasacbu'etta, to declare the Adni nistratioo of Mr. Lincoln perpetual until the reMIiun is put down. Military necessity Is the declired pie for the project. The proprietors of aVw scheme lor an incipient monarchy rge that the excitement of elections will prevent that vigorous prosecution of the wsr which is essential to juccers. If there is any truth in tht above report, Mr. Greeley was not far wrong wteu he declared that the consideration of the next Presidential election was a "dreary impertinence."

From the Cincinnati Price Current, Sept. . financial and Commercial Summary for the Past Week. 1 Tbe demand for money has been fair, rather better than, for some time previously, but tbe usual ease of the money matket continues, and tbe range is still 6 to 8 per cent. The supply of exchange made by produce bills has still continued inadequate to the demand, and the market remains firm at very full rates. Gold has fluctuated materially, the whole advance for the week being about 5 per cent. Tbe market to day closed firm in New York. The seeming "drag" in militarv affairs is the chief cause, though the call lor a "loan of $30,l)OO.IM)0. made by the Government, 5as been used in the New York stock market by the speculators, to put up gold and stock, no doubt. A great battle is being fought in the vicinity of Chattanooga, Tennessee, no doubt, the army under Geu. Burnside having united with that under Gen Rosecrans, and all East Tennessee with the exception ot Cbattanoo ga, is in poses;ion of the Government army I now. Knoxville was occupied by Gen. Burnside J last Friday. The news from Charleston is fa vorable, though the conclusions arrived at by the correspondents of the daily newspapers, some time ago, regarding the immediate fall of the place, were evidently pren.at ure. It is clear that some time must elapse before Charleston falls, but there seems to be no reasonable ground for doubting that Charleston must fill into the hands of our forces, sooner or later. A formidable ex pedition is moving against Mobile, both by land and water, and it too will soon be in possession of the Government. It would therefore seem that this advance iu gold is temporary. There has been little done in Government securities during the week; vouchers are rather lower. We quote: BDTIXG. BELLIN-Q.

The manufacture of the Government currency is being prosecuted at Washington on .a heavy scale, and the business is being systematize! and the machinery perfected bevond anything hereto fore thought of, under the management of Mr. Chase. The department "is making extensive preparations not only for the engraving and print ing of the new issues of postal currency and treasury notes, but the ink and paper will also be manufactured in the treasury building at Washywiton. The postal currency is already printed, and will be issued as soon as there is a demand for it, by the withdrawal of the old is.-ue. The new fractional currency will be of the same denominations as the old. hut instead of beinir of different sizes they will all be of the dimensions of the present ten cent postal. They are engraved in the highest style of art, and the colors, whic!) are the distinguishing marks of the differ ent values, are of such a chemical combination, it is asserted, as to defy photographing. But perhaps the . greatest safeguard against counterfeiting in all the new issues, will be in tie paper on which they are printed. This will be mule by a secret pro cess in the Treasury Department, under the immediate superintendence of the inventor. The paper in question is thinner than that in common use. and it will be ver much cheaper. Its ad vantages will consist largely in the fact that it is forty times stronger than the paper now ucd. It can be washed like a piece ot linen without in any way injuring the engraving; and, withal, it cannot be photographed, as if. photoraohs a dark brown. instead of white, like ordinary paper. There has leen a bouyaut market in corn, oa's, pork and whisky, during the past week, owing to the injury done by the late frost Jo the corn crop, and prices advanced during the first three days of the week, but toward the close the market lor pork became less firm, though no decline took place. Flour has remained in about the same position it was a week ago. Wheat has fluctuated some, but closed rather dull. Corn and oats have advanced materially and closed buoyant. A large contract, which had been taken at St Louis, was forleited by the contractor, owing to the heavy advance, he preferring to lose his margin to the loss he would have sustained had he filled the contract. Farmers will not sell their old corn now in districts where the present crop has been damaged by the frost, and the indications are that prices will go higher, therefore. Rye and Barley have not changed much. Whisky advanced to 47c, and is in good demand. Butter is 2 to 3c higher, and the supply of fresh not equal to the demand. Esgs are higher Chee-e is c higher, and in light supply. There was a speculative demand for old mess pork in the beginning of the week, and about 3,0011 barrels citv were taken at $10, and h now he'd at $10 25(310 i)0. and country at $9 50(3) 10. New country is hel l at $11 50 to $12 50, according to quality. New city is held out of the m trket, as we noticed in our h-.st. Hulk meats are held at 55c, with a good demand at to Jc below these rates. Not much demand for bacon Thesales made to the Government within the week were at prices far above previous sties, and caused surprise. Lard is held at 10c and upward, but it would not bring over 9c. About 1,000 tierces wete sold within the week, tlelivered at other points; 700 steam rendered, delivered at Louisville, at 9JgC and 300, delivered at Gosport, Indiana, at9e - There is a strong feeling in provisions generally, and an opinion prevails pretty generally that prices are now lower than they will be for some time Hogs would sell in this market, for early delivory at $4 75; the prul;ililit is that $5 will be paid. The scarcity of haftis ami the higher price ol lard give confidence to buyers Packing will let;iu as soon a the weather will admit, and the season will open early. There were some Ken tucky hogs on the market in the early part of the week ft $5 for November, but they were subse quently withdrawu. 1 be Wood and Lincoln Carreapond ence. We yesterday presented to our readers the cor respon-lence letween Mr. Wood ami President Lincoln, in December last, relative to the willingness of the insurgents to return upon being granteil an amnesty. Excesa of telegraphic matter in our yesterday's edition precluded com merit The correspondence has not be ore been puhlirthed because of the injunction of secrecy l.-;il by Mr. Lincoln upon Mr. Wood which injunction was most honorably and faithfully observed by him nntil the direct charge of falsehood made against him in the President's letter released him from further obligation under it. We were very confident, from what we knew of the circumstances, that the publication of the President's Springfield let'er would unearth the fox. - We hive never credited Mr Lincoln with extraordinary capicity, but supposed him possessed of too much shrewdness, or low cunning, to thus remove an injunction which he ought to have knowD was bis mo-t effii-ient shield from infamy. We reproduce the following extract from his Sprit'gfied letter: "Now, allow me to assure yon that no word or intimation from the rebel army, or from any of the men controlling it. in relation to any peace compromise, has ever come to my knowledge or telief All charges and intimations to the con trarr are tleentive and groundless, awl I promise you that, if any snch proposition shall hereafter come, it shall not be rejected and kept secret from yon I freely acknowledge myself to he the servant or the people, according to the bond of the service, the United States Constitution, and that as such lam responsible to them." Here is a positive declaration that he has re ceived "no word or intimation from ths rebel ar my, or from any one of the men controlling if , in relation to any peace compromise.". Webster thu defines: "Intimation hint; an obscure or Indirect snggetion or notice; a declaration or remark conveying imperfect notice." We now append the following extracts from Me. Wood' letter: "On the 25th of November last, 1 was advised by authority which I deemed likely to be well informed, as well as reliable and truthful, that the Southern States would send representatives to the next Congress, provided that a full and eeneral amnesty should permit them to do so. s Now. therefore. Mr President, I suggest that s gentleman, with former political and social relations with the leaders of the S uthern revolt, may be allowed to hold unofficial corres pondence with them on this subject, the correspondence to be submitted to you." This U not an obscure or. Indirect suggestion, but a plain, frank statement. lie who communicated it believed it to be based upon inform tion drawn from reliable and truthful sources. The utter improbability that those who thus advised Mr- Wood obtained their information from the separate Insurgent States, compels the conHoslon that it was derived from members of the Confederate Government, from some of the "men controlling the rebel army " This assumption cIobos Mr. Lincoln's loop-hole of escape. If Mr.

Wood was correctly informed, the Information could only hate been derived from the separate States or the Cofttederate Government. But Mr Lincoln says in reply to Mr. Wood, "I strongly suspect yoor information will prove to be groundless." Wood is informed of the willingness ol' the insurgent States to return. He informs the President, who disbelieves, or professes to disbelieve, the correctness of tbe information. Wood offers to establish the correctness of the information thus. "I suggest that a gentleman, with former political and social relations with the leaders of the Southern revolt, may be allowed to bold unofficial correspondence with them upon this subject, the correspondence to be submitted to you." Who are the fetders of the Southern revolt? Are they the members of the Confederate Government? Are they those having power to control the revolt? It is with these men Mr. Wood offered to open a correspondence from which no possible injury to our cause could have arisen, because, first. it was to be unofficial, and, next, il was to be submitted to the President. There could therefore be no objection to the mode of proof offered by Mr. Wood, and certainly it would have been conclusive. It would either have established or refuted, beyond all cavil, the correctness of bis information. But if Mr. Wood had never been thus advised, or if the information he received was groundless, these facts are known only to himself and those who gave him the information How can Mr Lincoln aver that he has never received an intimation of this kind? If Wood's information was correct, Mr. Lincoln's friends will not claim, in the face of this correspondence, that he has not received any intimation "from the rebel army, or from any of tho men controlling it, in relatiou to any peace compromise." Its transmission through Wood does not alter the fact of reception. The intimation was conveyed to him as coming from the Confederate Government indirectly. He has acknowledged its reception, and was offered the proof of its correctness in the proposal of Mr. Wood to open a correspondence. He cr. not escape by the quibble that it did not come directly. He denies having received an intimation, which is defined as a "hint; no ob eure or indirect $uyge$lUn, or notice" Was not the letter of Mr. Wood an indirect notice? The suggestion ? direct. Thus we see that: 1 Mr. Lincoln denies having received such an intimation from the rebel Government 2 That .be did receive such an intimation, purporting to come rrom that source. 3 That he professed to doubt itscorrectne.as. 4 That proof was offered him to establish its correctness. . 5 That he declined to accept the proof offered. Is he not pilloried before the nation to-day, as a deliberate and shamele-s cquivorntor and falsifier? This In nnr event; and if Mr Wood was correctly informed, are not Abraham Lincoln and Iii- advisers intended assassins of the nation's life, and murderers of every mn whoe life has been ofTered upon our country's bHtlefilds since the I2c.lt of last December? How d.ue they assert that he was not correctlv informed when they rejected a test of proof so simple, but conclusive? Chicago Times.

Our Armr Correspondence from AIa dm in. Camp is Little Wills Vallet, Ala ,) September C, I fc"G3. Editor Sentinel: It may perhaps be interest ing to your reiders to follow the march of Geu eral McCook's corps through the mountains. With that consideration I submit you the following: It is' of the 2d brigade of Johnston's (2d) divis Ion that I would speak more particularly. We left the little county town of BHIefonte. Aia , (from which place 1 last addressed you.) on the 31l;h of August Al ter a march of thirteen miles under a scon-hing sun, we reached the batiks of the 1 eimessee river, three miles south of Steven son, where a pontoon bridge had been thrown across ready for our passage The river at this point is about Ihne hundred yards wide, with high and solid batiks upon each side. The rebel pickets remained on the opposite shore until they saw the bridge swing toward them, when, without even firing a salute, they made a hasty retreat toward the mountains, but some fifteen or twenty of t'iem we e taken prisoners. Ourdiision went it;to camp on the bank of the river to m ike preparations for crossing Smd Mountain, which brt' befineus These prepara tions consisted in a general curtail of nil kinds of bag'ae, by which operation the officers were deprived of some hiding luxuries, but three wagons were allowed to each regiment Eighty pounds of baggage (including mess chest, pro vision, clotliiog and bedding.) was allowed to officers The men were compelled to throw away all the clothing they could not carry with ten dts rations One tent to a regiment, and five hundred pounds were allowed for hospital stores. TJi:der this new regulation we commenced the scout of the mountain. It was neces.tary to double the teams here, as in crossing the other mout tains, which ot-upied the greater part of the day. betöre the biiade retched the summit. Abut half way up the distance being about one and a hill' nides i fine little rivulet of excellent cool water runs across the ro id the most refreshing luxurv. Iy the way, in this buisness, is good water; an I when met with so opportunely it is 'doubly valuable The few citizen encountered here were much 8Urpri-e-l at the appe irance of th Yankees in such a de ol e rei'i i. and they will doubtless be much more surprised when they discover that many ot the;r hidden delicacies were carried off. Some of our boys hid been p'ttndcring a house on the mountain side, and when the provost guard maile a deacent upon them, they made their escape in the woods and took hel'er from the pur suiti? guard in a Cave, where they found a cask of brandy, preserves, peaches, apples and a variety of choice delicacies, of h'cli delectable arti cles. in such a wild place, they partook sumptuously. A party of some twentv or thirty tebel cavalry htuiz upon out front a I'd flank whilst we were cros-inir the mountain, but they kept at a very respectful distance, allowing themselves to be reported by the citizens rather than to incur the risk of reporting in person. There are but few se'tlements noon this mountain, although it has a Mirf.ic of fifteen miles of tolerable good soil of the sand stone variety, well woo.Ied and waterd. The soil is thin and Ter liab'e to w ish. The corn prowiiii; looke.l well, but tliequ infiries observed were very small. Sweet potatoes appear to do well. Gen J. C D'vU division, which was in advance of ms. encountered rebel pit kets on the south si,e of the mountain, and he halte! and drew up in line of battle. Our division camped on the in unktin side, ready to support him, if Iiecessin. Geo. Hardee appears to offer some objection to our ni an h toward Rome, Georgia, which is our destination if allowed to continue. After onpd iv's lei ay, Davis' division advanced to the front of Lookout Mountain, the rebels having disappeared for the present. Between these two mountains lays a narrow valley containing a number of small farms with a little corn, all ol which is being appropriated for forace for our use. ' The in jority of the inhabitants are very hostile to our operations, anl but very few of them have any desire to return to the Union " The colored population have been removed firther south The lar-je it umber of rctw-U Citerina our lines, as reported in some of the jnim als. must be a myth. They luve never come within my observation, and I have certainly made some effort to see them Those who have come in. as a general thing, appear more anxioti m-fe their lam ilies Than to join our :rmv. After they have seen the'r fanidie. it is a m titer of considerable doubt whether they will enlist with the army which has cmied off their corn and robbed their family, or rejoin their own rtnv. " There is the least encouragement to them whilst our men subsist upon the litt'e all their wives and children have gotten together for their iise during the coming winter. Contrabands are exceedingly scarce in our department of the army. Where they have all gone to, is more than I can tell. As the rebels tinder Gen. Johnston are concentrating at Chattanooga, and as Gen. McCook's corps is sweepng around them, preceded by some 2.000 cavalry under Stanly and others, important news may be expected from Rosecran's array, withiu a short period of time The weather is sultry hot very. The heat la oi're oppressive now than at any other period during the summer The nights, however, are cool; were it not for scorpions, wood ticks, ants and other small annoyances, which occupy our grassy and leafy beds, we mibt enjoy unspeakable pleasures during our hours of repose.' These little pests are not to be scared by trifles We are constantly reminded that we are soldiers try Ing to sleep. Wixpes.

September 13 A Morris Island letter of the 9th to the Herald gives an account of the recent boat expedition against Fort Sumter , The flotilla consisted of fifteen boats manned by over 100 sailors, in command of Lieutenant Williams, of the Wissahickon, and 100 marines under Capt. Macauley. The entire force w9 commanded by Com. Stevens, of the monitor Potapsco. The boats were towed to within a short distance from the fort, from whence they advanced. Three boats nnder Commander Williams, Lieutenant Reany and Ensign Porter, landed.. and the parties attempted to run up the ruins tn the parapet, when they were fired upon by musketry and hand grenades thrown upon them. The slope was so pharp that they were unable to reach the parapet A signal was fired from the fort, rnd in an instant all the rebel batteries opened ou the fort and shelled it terribly. Three boats were destroyed, and all who landed were killed or captured. Lieut. Bradford, of the marines, was mortally wounded and captured. Commander Williams, Lieuts. Reaney, Preston. Brower, Bunce, Dr. Wheeler and Ensign Porter were also taken. Forty or fifty soldiers and marines were killed and wounded. The entire list of casualties will number eighty. The remainder of the party returned in safety. A flag of truce slates that our captured officers and men were in Sumter and well treated. The Herald's letter states that it has been dis covered that the old iron clad battery at Cuinmincs Point, forms the cover of the magazines of Fort Gregg. It affords a good cover to our men, and has already sustained a heavy fire from the rebel batteries, without the least damage. . The same correspondent highly eulogizes the Ironsides, whose broadsides agninst Moultrie had never been equalled in rapidity and effect. She was not injured, though struck 200 times. The Times correspondent, with the Army of the Potomac, w rites under date of the 10ih that it is believed that one corps of Lee's army, or about one-third of the army under Lougstreet, is moving to Richmond, thence to be transferred two divisions of it to the Southwejt and one to to Charleston. Hood's division left Fredericksburg on Tuesday last for Richmond and thence for Charleston. This seems to indicate that the rebels in Virginia will remain entirely on the defensive for the coming campaign which every one here counts upon before winter. - . A Washington special says: Mi s. Leech, wife of the Superinfendant of the T red gar iron works has arrived from Richmond. The evacu ition of East Tenner ee by the enemy caused the greatest surprise as all were anticipating a battle there instead of the peaceful occi pation by the Union forces. Troops from Lee's army had been arriving quite freely. Their destination -was unknown. There was a general belief that Charleston would be captured. It is rumored that Secretary Chase will cele brate the capture of Charleston by the resumption of specie payments .it the United States Treasury. The receipts of gold are said to be enormous, and it is believed that if specie payments were resumed the demand for gold would cease, while the actual cost of the war would be reduced $1,000,000 per week. The authority for this statement is not very reliable. From Wakhiuston. Wasuingtox. September 12.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

From the Richmond Whig. ."lie Charleston Courier makea a timely suggestion in recommending the attention of our Government to the naturalisation and cultivation of Calisaya for the preservation of the health of our soldiers. This article baa a peculiar effect upon the liver, and guards the system against disease by exposure and irregular diet. It is said that the great succe'S of the Plantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previous to our unhappy difficulties waa found In moat Southern homes, was owing to the extract of Calisaya Bark which it contained as one of its principal ingredients. 'lu confirmation of this, we have heard one of oar' most distinguished physicians remark that, whenever he felt unwell from ordinary dietetic or atmospheric causes, he invariably relieved h'nstlf by Plantation Bitters. Now that these Bitters cat. be obtained, a substitute thould be prepared. We understand our Government has opeued negotiations with Dr. Drake, through a ecret agent, but with what truth we do not know. ' We are exceedingly obliged to the Richmoud Whig for ta remembrance of "Anld Lang Syne," hut we caa assure "our Government" that the Plantation Bitters are not for sale to any "secret agents," North or South There are probably several other things that "our Government" will yet want. We know that we have the beat and moat popular medicine in the world. We are not afraid to show what it Is composed of. Physicians are compelled to recommend iu Causata Bark baa been celebrated for over two hun dred year, and was sold during tbe reign of Louis XVI King of Franco, for the enormous price of iu own weight In silver. It is remarkable for Dyspep.ia, Fevers, Weaknesa, Constipation, &c. GtacAKiiXA Babk. For Diarrhea, Colic, and disease ot the stomach an J bowels. Dajtdkuoh.

X. Another wonderful ingredient, of tmnifb origin, imparting beauty to tbe complexion and brilliancy to the tnind, la yet unknown to the commerce of the world, aad we ithhold its name for the present. Humbugs and quacks howl about tbe Plantation Bitters; but the following is what's the matter, and they know it: PLANTATION BrmRS WILL CURE Cold Extremities and Feverish Lips; Sour Stomach and Fetid Breath; Flatulency and Indigestiou; Kervous AffVxiions.
