Fellow citizens, the language of Andrew Jackson wiut, \Tin 1 I'nion must and shall l»e pre- served.\ What would (Jen. Jackson have done, hud he been at the helm to-day? lie would have hung the traitors higher than haman. You may make peace with the loyal men of the South; and there is the pbire to inuke it. Hut how will you do it with reUillion * Go with an agree- ment in one hand and a revolver in the other, and ask the Confederacy to take its choice? II' there is tiny you can deal with, it in the loyal citizens of the Houfh— those that are persecuted lor the sake of their Government those that love their Constitution, and are willing to die in its defense, when they »«e restored t o posi- tion by conquering rebellion. Are you in favor of war i No, but I am in favor of putting down war by force of arm*. I urn opposed to war, and in favor of ob- taining pence by putting down the au- thors o*' war. I nni in favor of peace, but 1 am in favor of the only course that will insure it driving out armed rebellion, negotiating with loyalty. We nmst right buttles, nnd Moody buttles. We must cnll vast numbers of men into, \\w tiold. We must not go as hoys to a general training, with Indies, and idlers, and members of Congress, to we the show; but we must go in earnest—go prepared for action to right it UH U battle, and not to tight it as a plny-spell. VVn must unite as a whole people, going shoulder to shoulder. And when we do so, we shall conquer. And why '. We hnve the right, we have the prestige of Government, we have the Mynipathy of the disinterested world, we have the moral and material elements to do it all, ami to injure vic- tory. Uettolliou hat not the financial ability to ntand u long war, with all their gaiiH from privateering aud piracy, and Usuing Confederate bonds—made a lien ti|K>n the pn»perty*of people who were novel* consulted UH to their issue, and who repudiate them worth as much us a June tnmt. a cold wolf truck, which no tinati- cier lit to be out of the lunatic asylum would give a shilling a peck for. They may vex, they may harass, they may destroy, they may commit piracy, but the reckoning in to conn 1 for all this. They will be brought t o the judgment of the American people of their own people. They will bo arraigned, and who is there will IM* ready to stand up us their de- fender* in the n;wue of the Constitution? I know there arc Home who rear the wur- like power of the rebellious state*. They had a great deal of power for good ; but they hate a great deal ICSH than they imagine or \> generally imagined, for evil. We arc a good deal slower in waking up, but when waked up we are a good deal more in earnest. The tone of the rebel press is exceedingly braggart in regard to its men and it** victories. It reminds me when I hear of their self-lauded prowess, of the Khowtnan who spoke of the great capacity of the imimnl he was exhibiting: II Ladies and gentlemen,\ said he. \this in the Bengal tiger, measuring fourteen feet from the tip of his nose t o the tip of his tail, and fourteen more from the tip of his tail t o the tip of his nose, making in all twenty-eight feet.\ Now I think their estimate** about their forces and capacity are juxt about us liberal. It will l>e time enough to struggle over who shall administer the government when we are sure we have on* 1 to administer. He who is not for it, is against it. I have determined to tight this battle out, but on no political grounds. I stand Upon the constitutional ground of my father*. There I will stand and animate my countrymen to stand with me, and when once wo shall have pence restored when we shall have put down rebellion, when we shall have encouraged fidelity, when peaee and prosperity shall again greet us, then let us nee if any l»nrt of any stute in oppressed, if any iudividual in wronged, it any are deprive*I of their right* see that equal and exact justice »H extended to all. VOL. 1. OGDENSBURGH, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1861. NO. 26. THl \LOJCDOH STAB\ OH \BULL JKTH* 'Tis in the new world as in tlie treason never prospers; for if it pr< \none dare call it treason.\ Al writers on events, nil the idolntors c f suc- cess, all the secret sympathizers witl i des- potism, are on the alert to cntch thu first gleam of good fortune that lights on the nark banners of a wicked cause. The rebellion that aims to enlarge nnd per- petuate slavery, i» the only rebellion to which the Time* and its tributary strcuni- lets of un-English opinion ever wafted encouragement. As oft as nn oppressed people snntcheu nt the sword in the des- perate hope of cutting its way to free- dom, they poured derision und censure on the gallant effort. If Frenchmen essayed to' establish n French government—if Germans passed in n moment of energetic inspiration from dreaming to working— if Hungarians renounced nn allegiance that hnd become a national death—if Poles or Italians writhed from prwtratc subjection into erect nnd sublime resist- ance—the Time* and its emulative follow- ers hissed forth their scorn of such ro- mantic courage, their hatred of such irreverent boldness. As with the Kuropenn peoples, so with the American. What pteans to the honor of the Jupiter in the Capitol at Washing- ington should we have heard resounding from thu Olympus in Blnckfrinrs if the battle of Bull Hun had filled Mantissas Gap with the corpses of the Confederates! Then would the swelling strain have rolled across the Atlantic in notes out- pealing the loudest New York thunder. Then would history and imagination have been at retched for parallels greatness of the conflict and the gl tho victors. Then would the Confc<lerato cause have )*een denounced UH abh o the uy of >rrent to gods and men—treason of the utmost turpitude, rebellion of parricidal wicked- ness. Then should we have been that Benuregard had chosen his ground, the strongest between the told own Poto- mac and Hichmond, had strengthened it with ail military strength, concealed within a cincture of wood and hill ninety thousand men, and been driven from his intrenehment by twenty or thirty thou- sand undisciplined volunteers, tired with the ardor ot conscious rectitude, and made Invincible by the heroism of disin- terested valor. The battle has gone the other way; and, behold, the laurels that had been woven for President Lincoln are proffered to President Davis. Y<jt not quite so. \ We\ who were in the \ rout,\ hnd the momentary candor to admit that it was a drawn battle, not a disgraceful defeat. The fugitives may rally. The number* may be balanced. The event may be reversed. It is not safe to <:rown Hennregnrd till McClellan has been van- quished. Meanwhile, till the eagl» set- tles on this banner or on that, let us revile sides out for interesting l>ogus wound- ed officers now-a days—pale youths with an arm in a sling, Ouc such victimized the N«w-York bunks out of $2,500. So- ciety at Harntogu found him charming, petted him, and introduced him and hit* forced drafts to financial institutions, which he \ictinii/ed adroitly. the combatants. Must we make enemies on both the Atlantic, in both hemispheres <|>f the globo and of government? Are we to provoke beyond bearing, imperial prance ami republican America i Ought \ye not rather to guide our speech by the friendly wisdom that errs, If nt nil, on the side of friendliness > If H tvere true I lint Ameri- cans of the North are braggart covwrds, they would still l>e our nearest kii, and their cause would still IK* flint of solid government and of universnl liberty. But we trust that the press of En^lnndj ns n whole, will make it felt wherm urthe just authority of President Linci In is recognized, that we grieve when they are humbled—that we confide in the strength of their resources and purpose's, ds in the goodness of their cause—nnd that while we heartily desujed them to avert civil war by peaceful separation, we n> »w as heartily pray God to give them a 1 appy issue out of their fiery trial. A N'KW fishing ground has been dis- covered at a solitary si>ot far away in the ocean, the nearest land to it l>eing St. Kil- dn, and that is one hundred and thirty miles distant. This place called Kocknll, is n rock described m rising nlnnit the height of a ship above sen. Two fishing smacks recently visited this place, and in Hve day*, the one caught nearly fifteen tons, the other twelve tons, of the largest codfish ever seen, many of them weighing when caught, one cwt. The captain of one of the smocks states that they caught the fish as fast as they could bait and haul; and when nny of the cod escaped from the hook, great monstrous sharks, as blue us if painted with a brush, darted round the ship's sido, and swallowed them in an instant. The very sea birds were tame, evidently never having been dis- turbed there by man, some of them fly- ing aboard and eating the offal. When General Bcott was in Mexijco he was offered the Presidency of that Re- public; with « salary of two hundred thou- sand dollar** per annum. THl HXW8-B0T8. This warlike time lias brought with it a great many news-boys, like flies in dog- day t» t and the wonder is, where do they come from ? They are as n general thing urn a I lor than those in New York, which leads some to believe that those of Boston migrate as they grow older, like the bob- oMinks, nnd take other forms in other lo calities. We don't know how this may- be. A month or two since, their number was comparatively limited; but the (con- vulsion of war brought them out, as the black beans in a barrel come to the sur- face with hard shaking. Every avenue has now its news-boys; and our caw, as wu walk about town, are dinned by tho many-toned cries that attract us with spurious proclamations of quarter- hour later editions. It is a monotonous song they sing, unless some great event comes over the wires, which their eager eyes ferret out, or half the time c,atch by instinct; and we have the horror varied according to the ingenuity of the vender. True, we may bo humbugged by a pro- claimed fact that is nothing but the sup- position of a New York reporter, but we forgive the deception and pocket the lie, while the news-boy goes on with his wares. Home think it a crying shame, and growl nt the little messenger that bears the fate of nations in his dirty- hands ; but the sensible man sees com- mercial shrewdness in his operation, and in private chuckles over his morning edi- tion bought for the last, and resolves not to be caught so again. The news-boys are the only ones making money now-u- dnys, if we except the army-contractors.; and we anticipate a time when swell-front houses and princely stores shall mark the progress and result of the news-boys* craft, -/ioiiton ATTEMPT TO BOMBAHD GAAVBSTON.—* On Saturday, Sid inst., the blockading schooner Dart, exchanged five shots with the batteries on Galveston Island/without damage to either side, the distance being alnjut two miles. This was intended us a feeler, for on the following Monday the steamer South Carolina tried her hand at it, and actually threw shells into the city. During the bombardment, a large nuni- !>cr of people having collected on and near the sand hills, a little to the east- ward of the butteries, to gratify their curiosity, a »h<»ll fell nmong them, ap- parently directed for thai purpose, cut- ting one man in two, and exploding, wounded three others. This was all the harm that was done by this first nttempt to bombard the city. The firing con- tinued about half an'hour. Some of the shells measured ten inches in diameter, and must have been thrown by a sixty- cight-poundcr, said to IN* the steamer's pivot gun. A numl>cr of careful lookers on report that, with their glasses, they dis- tinctly saw a boat, or something like it, lowered Over the near side, as she turned away, nnd this, as it is thought, to plug or examine a shot hole in her side.--.VivH- phi* Argtw. ElHTOJUAl. EXI»KRIKNCK.— The Louisville (Ky.) Democrat says: - ''Editors South—poor fellows!—com- pensate themselves for their loss of lib- erty by affecting to think they are fight- ing for independence. Not a year ago, about half of them denounced Disunion, nnd gave the most cogent reasons against it. The reasons are quite as good ns ever now ; bnt these editors are not merely silenced—they arc compelled to mil on the other side! If they dared to publish what they published twelve months ago, they would Iw hanged by « Vigilance Committee. Let them be patient; they will be set free after a while, and can again speak out for their country; and then they can tell us, from experience, what it is to be a slave.'\ THK CON FEDERATE FORCES.—A list of the Confederate forces, published in the New York New» % of Saturday, exhibits their strength at 248,000 men, of which 22,000 are from Georgia; 14,000 from Louisiana ; 18,000 from Mississippi ; 0,000 from Texas; 25,000 from Tenneseo; 15,000 from South Carolina ; 10,000 from Arkansas; 18,000 from Alabama; 90,000 from North Carolina; 65,900 from Virginia; 8,000 from Florida; 1,000 from Maryland; 22,000 from Missouri; and l,0W from Kentucky. In addition to that, it is stated that there are «t least two hundred and fifty thousattd Home Guards and fractions of regiments, vari- ously armed nnd equipped. A Scotch paper speaks of a fox having i been sten trying to spring, a trnp by | means of a stick that lie carried in his j mouth. We knew a fox onco that took I a well-pol« from the well and pushed a turkuy oil the lower limb of a tree with it and put the pole back in its place. At loast he got the turkey, and the well-pole was found all right in the morning. Port Wellington. We beg to call the attention of the military authorities to the state of Fort Wellington, and ho|>c they may nee fit at once to send it a garrison of soldiers. It ii at present commanded and, in fact, occu- pied by \ General \ Armstrong alone ; and although we have no doubt, with the aid of one of the famous guns of his sec- ond cousin and namesake, he would do good service, if called upon ; yet we arc opposed to expecting too much' from one man ! Of course u great deal of ex- tra gas must be blown off in these *' pi- ping times of war,\ and we m*ed, there- fore, believe only half wo hear about a,n \ expedition* against our fort, but -till, if \ troubles should come, there can be no doubt that our little Fort would receive attention at the hands of some of the \boys \on the other side of the water. We are willing to make a good deal of al- lowance ; but still then; is many *' n true word said in jest,\ and ns we are getting so .many soldiers in Canada, we should like to see a few here, to let these chaps see they will have \ hot work,\ if they should attempt to curry out their thrents.— I*re*c<ttt Well,' friend Ilynes appears to be get ting frightened, or he is u blowing off con- j sidernhlc gns in these piping times.\ The British press are quite unanimous in advice to the British Public against investments in our war loan, nnd we no j ticc that many of our contemporaries con- strue this advice us showing that the feeling of the mother country is against the action of the patriotic supporters of our Government. The actual reason of the advice is that orders from thin coun- try have censed, and' already New-York has moj-e gold in its bunk vaultstlutn the Bank of England, and an investment of 100.000 by British financiers would re move its entire amount in bullion. Lord Chesterfield is held up to us as a model gentleman. He was a polished j man of the world, but strange to «ny he | was a man who had no fritnil*. He was * ft thoroughly selfish man; one only gen- j tie and genuine sentiment possessed him, j and that was his love for his son. j A southern teacher and his wife, in the ) poverty of the times desiring to catch patronage in Seeessia, advertise that they ' will carefully indoctrinate their pupils in the principles of secession, flint the IMIVK ' and girls shnll rent! secession speeches, t receive secession counsels, sing secession songs, and unite in secession prayers.

DISSOLUTION OK THK 1*NION.~~A writer in the Cor»hill Marjdzim', for August, hits the question of the right of the Southern States to secede from the L'nion by this happy illustration :— u It is ns if a wife after henpecking her husband for twenty years, chums the right to divorce him.*' IT is now stated that Jeff. Davis was not present nt the battle at Bull's I tun ; that he was detained by the storm, nnd did not reach Manassas until Sunday eve- ning. In that caw, who rode the pale horse ', THK WORLD is for tho working hour, but home is the place of refuge. We come to it when we are weary and weak ; our refreshment in there, our rest is there, we reflect there, we recover from sickness there, nnd if we die in pence, we die there. When Admiral Nelson's arm was cut off, the surgeon asked if he should not embalm it, to send it to England to be buried; but he said, \ throw it into the hammock with the brave fellow that was killed beside me \—n common seaman. Further gold discoveries have l>oen made in Novin Scotia, at Margaret's bay Went of Halifax. The thousandth year of the existence of the Russian empire is to be celebrated next year.

The Otirego Gazette y always a Demo- cratic journal, now U>ld1y declares it to be a u duty to forget party for a time, and unite for the common good of the Government as it came to us from our fathers, as of greater moment than any partisan success or partisan advantage.\ In the same strain The Biitghnmpton lktu- m-rat puts forth its confession of faith as follows:— , *'l. We are maintaining the Govern- \ment of the Union and the Constitution, so long a* there is a loyal chizen North or Houth to battle with rebellion, or a dollar to furnish the sinews of war. \ 4 2. We are opposed to the war, and would therefore frush, by the whole pow- er of the n At ion, its authors, who commen- ced it by robbery and treason, and by can- nonading I^prt Su inter. \SJ. We are in favor of peace, and therefore seek it in the only direction which will give honorable and enduring peace—by putting down armed rebellion, so that the Union-loving citizens of the South can support the Constitution and the Union of their fathers, without a re- volver to their ears or a bowie-knife to their throats to vlrive them into rebellion. ''4. We are opposed to taxation, and would, therefore, make the war ns short ns possible by exerting the whole force of the nation's energies, so as at the earliest moment to quell rebellion effectually, and avoid iterpefual trt/r ami perjminal taxa- tion hereafter. u 5. Are opposed to all palliations nnd propositions of peaee or compromise un- til rel>wioii is silenced, and its fiag, steeped in theft, treason, piracy, arson, rebellion, and murder, is torn down and destroyed, and until the stars and stripes float over every Stute capitol and every fortress in the Union. \ fl. When the roar of rel>cl artillery is silenced, and the supremacy of the Con- stitution is acknowledged, we are, HS we ever have Ix'en, fi>r guarding with sedu- lous cure every right which it guarantees to every section of the Union, nnd for strengthening the ties of brotherhood sundered by a net of graceless political robbers, acting against the wishes und the will of the masses of the Southern \HH>- pie.\ This contains the true doctrine. And it expresses the will of the va*t majority of the loyal people of the Union. iMAOUTAiNT IK THIK.—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Titue* states that intelligence has been received of the iu- tended nctive intervention of England, Franco, nnd Spain in the affairs of Mexico. It IN also stated thai Iheir action is to embrace, in some form, the recognition of the Southern Confederacy—provided as- surance can be had that the South will , not make nny attempts at conquest in that direction* ft is not positive that nny official representation on this subject has l>ecn received by our Government, but.the Foreign Legations arc well in- formed upon it. The King of Bavaria lately visited u vil- lage in the mountain country of his king- dom, where he was so much pleased at his reception by the Mayor that he said in a regal manner from his carriage window, *' I am very well satisfied with you.\ The Mayor witlpiit hesitation replied, \ 8o are we with you.\ The king felt so much pleased with the official's answer, that he dismounted, shook hands with him, and promised soon to call again ! THK formation of a German company, to be armed with scythes, was lately ad- vocated in New-York. This reminds us of a hero of the \last war'' who lived in Portsmouth, N. H., who upon hearing an alarm that the foe were landing, armed himself with u scythe, and was met early next morning trudging towards the sea- board, and on being asked the object of his strange conduct, replied, \TheBritish have landed at Portsmouth, and I'm going there to cut an' cripple like l>e WADDIKGTON.

The steamer New York arrived at Boston yesterday morning, making the trip from St. John's in twenty-two hours und three quarters, including stoppages at Eastport and Portland. This is the quickest time ever made on this route— the usual running time from St. John's t>cing about thirtv hours. ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. CAMP or THE I«T« REUIMKKT N. Y. V..» AT ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 16,1M61. % j There ha* been much talk, for the past three week*, in our regiment, as well as in others, about going home; all thinking that the Government' had no power to hold us longer, as we enlisted under the first requisition of the President, which waft for three-months volunteers. Oar three months was out yesterday. Such was the excitement, that it grew almost into mutiny. The officers were threat- ened, and all demanded to be sent home. Our Colonel called out the Guard, and got the Hon. Preston King, who explained to us how we were held, he having come from Washington for that purpose. All were then satisfied and quieted down, drilled &> usual, and everything is now right. We are not having much to do, except scouting occasionally, of which we had a turn last week. We were in/ormed at noon on Saturday that we were to go, and were ordered to prepare for three days' absence. Fifteen were called upon from our company, myself among the number, aithough I h'ad just returned from three days' similar service. On/object w»« to proceed four miles beyond Mount Vernon, to Akatink, which is nine miles from our furthest pickets, where a man named Burk had l>een in the habit of carrying dispatches to rebels who met him there. We wen* to surround the town, and take him. We left the camp. 50 in number, about 2 o'clock, i\ M. The thermometer stood nt about 180°, and our progress wan, consequently, slow. We came to the forks of the roads, this side of the Mount. about dark. Here our company let the others pass, nnd waited till 9 o'clock. We camped at Mount Vernon, where the reljcls were expected to retreat from Aka- tink, when driven out by our scouts. In the morning, the Captain, myself, and three others, started to visit the tomb of Washington. We filled our canteens nt the spring-house, picked some pears from the trees in the garden, sat down in the chairs in which the General was wont to nit, exnmined the house, plucked some flowers, and then started for the tomb. We were silent: for nil seemed to feel the solemnity of the occasion : and it wa», besides, the Sabbath day. We were treading u]K>n the ground where repose the remains of our venerated Washington, the Father of his Country, Hilentlv we gn/cil upon the bouse, in the vault—upon the monuments, the inscriptions, the out- buildings, fences. Arc.; and as silently passed on to the \ Wharf,\ where we had a view of Fort Washington, from which the l'nion ring was waving. We came back to the house of Washington: Here we could see the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the city of Alexandria, and the famous battle-field of Bull Run. Af- ter this, went bock to our comrades, who were anxiously awaiting us. The rest of the scouts *oon came in, from whom wo learned that they had sur- rounded the place, ns was agreed upon, but found that the enemy wan not there. The people in these parts cherish strong I'nion prineipfes, and are glad to extend their hospitalities to any soldiers from our camp. But I must clone, and remain yours truly, J. N. F. BtTMBIX. The I'nion Meeting held in the Baptist Church, nt this place, on Friday evening, wap a rouser. The Choir of the Church, under the, lead of Julius Palmer, Esq., furnished most spirited music. Rev. Mr. Malby led in prayer. Hon. E. A. Merritt then pleasantly addressed the gathering, on the causes of the war. J. C. O. Red- ington followed, with invitation for the war. Messrs. William E. Boyd, J a Diet Clark, Linlcy Robinson, Alonzo Col ton, and Ezra Ferguson, were appointed com- mittee to aid in procuring enlistments. Messrs. Blackamorc and Mr.. Morgan, who were chosen for the regiment of Ellsworth's Avengers, reported that suffi- cient funds had not been given them, to enable them to enter as representatives of tho town of Russell. They therefore asked that more might be raised, that they might immediately join the regi- ment. A committee was appointed, and the money will soon be collected. The beautiful liberty pole oppo- site Johnson's Hotel has been secured by several strong iron stays, and is now in n condition to stand the roughest storms.
