On the 20ih of September the West- tern Union Telegraph Company, in con junction with the Russian Government, was actively engaged in fitting out an expedition under the immediate super vision of Captain C 8. Bulkly, U. S. A., for Oregon, the coasts of Russia and the country beyond Bhering Straits, to sur vey the rout of the telegraph line, and make other needful arrangements to pul the whole extent of the line under con tract the ensuing year, and we under stand that the projectors of ihe enterprise are sanguine that the line will be in suc cessful operation between San Francisco, St. Petersburg and London by the middle of 1866. Mr. Hiram Silby, President of the. W. U. A. and the Russian Consul, in compa ny with Mr. Collins, the enterprising projector of the Russian-American tele graphjliaej sailed in the Scotia on the 20ih for Liverpool and St. Petersburg, with a view to completing the arrangments al ready initiated with the Russian Gov ernment for expediting the early comple tion of the line, and we heartily wish them the utmost succes.

Gen. Sherman's official report of the Atlanta campaign is published in the of ficial Army and JVary Cazdte, this week. It is dated Sepiemper 15, and fills twen ty columns of that paper. He estimates the "enemies strength to have been from forty-five to fifty thousand infantry and artillery and ten thousand cavalry. He says that he maiutaine! about the same strength during the campaign ; the num ber of men joining from hospital and furlough about compensating for the loss in battle and by iekness. The report is composed in Gen. Sher- man s terse and trencnant style, and brras an interesting history of, perhaps the most brilliaut and complete cam paign of fhe war. He terminates his re cital with the following deserved tribute to his subordinate ominjnders: My three armies in the field were commanded by able officers, my equals in rank and experience Maj. Gens. George H, Thomas. J. M. Schofield and O. O. Howard. WTith such commarders I had only to indicate the object desired, and they accomplished it. 1 cannot over-estimate their services to the country ; and must express my deep and heart felt thanks that coming together from different fields, with differedt interests, they have co-operated with a haraiony lhax has been prodnctive of the greatest amount of success and good leeling. A more harmonious army does not exist." The Draft la Kentucky. A delegation from Kentucky consisting. of the Hons. George H. Yeaman, W. P. D. Rush, and others, have called upen the President to day respecting the draft in their state. From their statements, it appears that by the enlistment of" of Southern sympathisers into the Southern army, from Kentucky, and the enlist ment of Kentucky negroes into regiments from other states, the original enrollment, upon which the present draft is founded would largely and improperly increase' tne burden resting upon the loyal people of that state. The Provost Martial General, to whom the matter was referred, decided as fol lows: That the enrollment of that state shall be corrected by deducting jhere frorn the names of all non-residents and person who shall have been conscripted into the Confederate service, and alio, all negroes who have gone to other states, or enlisted in other states in the Federal .service. Ane after the rolls are thus corrected, the quotas heretofore assigned to the various sud-districts, are to be cor respgndingly reduced. Gen Fry's offi cial letter will be published in a tepr days. The London Star says Sheridan's vic tory at Opequan is 4,only one among many recent instances which prove that the superiority of generalship is now wholly with ihe Federals" It adds that Early was fighting on familiar ground, buj only "to be defeated by a comparative stipling, a young General who was hew ing h's way upward wjih the saber after Early's name had been for many months familiar to Europe and America as a corps commander." From The Rebel Press (From the Kichmond Enquirer Oct 4.) THE TREASURY. Money has ceased to be a standard of value in tha Confederacy. The prorais ory notes of the Government cannot buy supplies or labor. ' Great manufacturers hold out such inducements to purchasers who will pay in produce., that even the stringent orders of the War Department, forrbidding farmers to barter their crops for indispensible machinery ,-have become powerless. Mechanics refuse .to work for anvthinsr but provisions. Teachers demand a pittance in e;atibles or a small fortune in Taeasury notes. Worst of all, Government itself offers a premium on all taxes paid in kind, by assessing pro visfons furnished for that purpose of the highest market price. It floods the coun try with certificates of debt, instead of the legitimate currency provided by Con gress. The result is lamentable, not because there is poverty in the country, far from it, because mismanagement has produced all the symptoms ofexhaustion, disheart ening the patriot and elating the enemy There are still ample resources in this country. large crops are even now at hand, public works remain, and property of every kind abounds, Even specie has not entirely left us, but it is no longer to be seen ; it is hid away in stockings, coal holes and inaccessable hiding places. For the political difficulties of the coun try stimulate to hoarding.the chief antag onistic influence to the circulation of coin. Tliii circulation is its living function , but hoarding is the effect of mistrust. An gnorant population like the rustic French and negroe with us. always hoard. But now, in the hour of our crisis, we ail hoard because we are all ignorant.- We are utterly at sea as to the state of our finances. Who knows the condition of otT Treasury, the 'state of our banks and the amount of our daily expenditure? The people do not know it, the Secretary of the Treasury does not tell us, and we much fear the Qoyernment itself does PQt choose to know, uapleasant truthes. Dui this is cowardly policy unworthy such able men, as we have entrusted with the goverment of our great country, unwor thy the implicit confidence that meets al' theirdemands and appeals, unworthy of a people struggling for life and death. Never did a nation pour more willingly ts treasures into the public chest. Mil ions are paid, day by day, promptly and cheerfully, The rich give their carpets and curtains to cloth the ragged soldiers in the field. The poor give their last crumb of bread to feed the weary by the wayside. Old men and striplings take their lives in their hands and bring'it them selves at the first summons. And is Government alone to do noth ing ?. Are they ever to go in begging, begging, begging ? Is there to be no end to these appeals to the people to furnish the army with shoes and socks and cloth ing, to provide the hojpitals with lint,; with provisions, with stimulants, to lend their -corn and their meat to some dis tressed General ? WThatever Jis asked for is always forthcoming is cheerfully given but what fearful wast! what un pardonable want of system and provident management ! And so with the treasury. Is.Mr. Trenholm limited to persuasive advertisements and urgent appeals to the people to favor this loan and take that pa- per f iNo one knows better tnanneaoes that In finance, above all, there is but one motive that regulates its movements and that is interest. What we want is not a Sangrado to bleed us to death, but a careful steward who shall make the most of our. estate. Confiding not .de voted patriotism in the good judge ment of our President, we accept his Secretary of the Treasury on trust, and cheerfully put our all in his hands. His coffers swollow it greedily ; it disap pears, we know not whither, and not a word is vouchedsaved to us as the manner in which it is applied. It would be a comfort, at least, to know that we did not sufier in vain, and that if we - starve in silence that our brave brothers ja the field are well taken care of. Wnat measures have been taken to distribute the burden equally, to relieve it where it presses too hard, to secure the wise and economical system of percep tion and distribution, to provide for a re turn to specie payment after the subsid ence .cf lh,e crisis ? Of all these points we are left profoupdly'jgnorant- Is it a wonder then that mistrust and restless ness appear? here and there ? The"re is the same steadines among the people to sacrifice the half, nay. the whole of their property rather than fail in th enter prise : there is no murmur heard against the laws or the sacrifice they demand But the greater the liberality of the peo ple, the stronger the duty to account for their gifts and their confidence; to tell the plain truth and the whole ruth is the least that the Government can give in return for such a perfect and implicit re liance on the part of a great notion. We hear of Government taking energetic measures to provide for the wants of their States; even municipalities make efforts to relieve their citizens from cistress, and to protect them against extortion. Is the Central Government alone to fold its hands, receive all that ?s offered and to persist in sullen silence ? Can they learn nothing from the great Emperor of France, who, in times of peace even, provides work for the poor, supplies the public with cheap bread, regulates the butcheries, publishing assizes from month to rr.onth"ufixing the prices of meat accord ing to to the category and qualities ? And if nothing elsecan "be done, the people are entitled, and we repeat it, to know iha truth, and the whole truth. It will not do to reply that proper reports will be made to Congress. We want to know where we stand, and want to know it now. " The people and their Represent atives may consult and devise means, and measures to be laid before Congress. It will not do to plead the evil effect jsuch disclosures would have in encouraging the enemy. They know as well as we do that concealment is a confessin of weak ness, and that the people may safely be trusted with a knowledge of all their dif ficulties, and will look them boldly in the face, and meet'them manfully, with tha same energy and self-devotion they have displayed on a hundred battl-fields and during four years of destructive war. HOW RICHMOND IS T BE DEFENDED. (From the Richmond Sentinel. Oct 6.) The male citizens of Richmond, if duly impressed jvith the circumstance which surround us, should immediately repair to to the public square, or orher place of rendesvous, with the utmost promptness on the sounding of the alarm bell. Not only those who belong to military organ izations, should thus attend, but all others should assemble to offer themselves for such service as they are capable cf. Some who cannot march, may yet be needed to stand guand. There are few who could not render some service in an exigency, and none should absolve them selves from a readiness to do so. Leave it to the authorities to say. whether or not a person is wanted, and in what capacity With these views, we are pleased that the indisposition of some to rally to the defense of of the city, at the late alarm, was corrected by tho persuasion of the provost guard, and that tardy and reluct ant citizens are .constrained to their duty Yre hope . that the lesson thus taught may be remembered on the next -occasion for we may continue to look for such and that we may prove to be "minute men" in all future alarms, It will be noble to see a whole population acting thus bravely and patriotically it will be an unendurable disgrace to such as hide among the garments of ladies wardrobes, as some are reported to hive done on the late occasion. Nay, some are said to be thus hid away no -T shame on their white hairs. . As an inducement and en couragement to the people to rally with I promptitude and alacrity, let the author ities, into whose hands they shall go, use them with judgement and discretion, and with as much econemv ot time and ex pense as the occasion will allow. Let the implicit faith be honored by returning them to" their homes as soon as the exi gency is over. Let 'no ungenerous ad- vanlogo ru tflUpn ff tLoJr patriotism by subjecting them to an inequality of bur dens ; such .conduct would stimulate the zeal of the people; and with a becoming popular zeal, and a suitable official head, Richmond would be a host in itself Per sons who think more of their own care and safety, than of their duty, and seek to evade assisting in the defense of the city, its homes, its women and children, are unworthy of a residence or sojourn among us and should be visited with tho contempt of every or e, THE SITUATION. (From the Richmond Whig of the 15th.) The Petersburg Express of yesterday says: Our army is calmly awaiting" the advance of the enemy on the right, fully prepared to receive him when . such a move is attempted, though no disposition has been shown to attack oar position there since the late recopnoissance, yet it is believed that the silence of the last few days is but the quiet that precedes the outbreak.- It is not unlikely that an attempt will be made to flank our works, as we think the enemy fully satisfied of the futility of all efforts to take them by assault At the present moment, says the Ex press, attention is directed to the north side of the James river, where a heavy engagement seems not at all unlikely. ' It is known that Grant has largely rein forced the forces already thsre within the last two or three nights, and it is not improbable that when fighting commences we shall have it at both ends of the line. nOW TO RETALIATE. The Whig, referring to the destruction of rebel property in the Shenandoah Valley, says: "The fell work is going on by order of Gen. Grant, to destroy every thing that will sustain life in the Valley. There is one effectual way, and the only one that we know of to arrest and pre vent this and every other sort of atrocity, and that is, to burn one of the chief cities of the enemy say Boston, Philadel phia, or Cincinnati, and let its fate hang over the rest as a warning of what may be done and what will be done to them, if the present system of war on the part of the enemy is continued. If we are asked how such a thing can be done, we answer nothing would be easier. A mil lion of dollars would lay the proudest city of the enemy in ashes. The men to execute the work are already there. There would be no difficulty in finding there or in Canada suitable persons to take charge of the enterprise and arrange its details. Twenty men, with plans all preconcerted and means provided, select ing some windy night, might fire Boston in a hundred places and wrap it in flame 3 from the centre to the suburbs. They might retaliate on Richmond. Charleston, etc. Let them do so if they dare ; it is a game at which we can beat them. "New York is worth twenty Rich monds. They have a dozen towns to our one, and in their towns is centered near ly all their wealth. A CONVENTION OF ALL THE STATES, The Examiner takes to task the two Southern statesmen, Stephens and Boyce, who have advocated the momentous pro position of a convention of all the .States, and in a fine vein cf ridicule depicts the mighty convention with the South Caro lina delegates sitting cheek-by-jowl with Banks, Sumner, Everett and Beast Butler. NEGROES FOR SOLDIERS. (From the Richmomd Examiner, Oct. 7.) It is not necessary now to discuss this matter, and may never become so, but neither the negroe or slave will be per mitted to stand in the way of the success of our cause. . This war is for national independence on our side, and for the subjugation of the whites, and emancipa tion of the negroes on that of the -enemy. If we fail the slaves are nominally free, and their masters really slaves. We must, therefore, succeed. Others JStaies may decide for themselves, but Virginia, after exhausting her whites, will fight her blacks through to the last man. She will be free ai all costs. A Palpable Hit. On the night cf the election in Ohio large .crowds assrn.- bled at the head-quarters of the. Execu tive Committee in Cincinnati to hear the -v r .1 l . t11 ' nev3. une or tne largest nans was finally opened and speedily filled with re joicing patriots, who were addressed by various speakers with now and then the reading of a dispatch. Gen. Tom. Carey was among the speakers and made the following decided "hit :" '-When a trait or tears down the Amon'M- "-er Dix says, 'shoot -him ca the spot, but General McClellan says, 'exhaust all the resources of statesmanship to persuade (!) him to lift it up again !' " This was lo lowed by such an outbursj xf indignation as shook old Mozart to her foundations. Fifty pears on a stem eighteen inches in length are exhibited at a fair in San Francisco. The fruit weighs nineteen pounds. Affairs In Mlsssnri. Jetferson Citt, Oct. 16. The rehels under Jeff. Thompson evacuated Sedalia at midnight, taking with them, goods and some few citizens. They took up a line of march for San born's rear. . Nothing, has been heard from San born's cavalry since afternoon. Our cavalry occupied Sedaha at day light this morning. Col. Crawford's regiment escaped, and it is presumed they have returned to their homes. Major General A. Fleasantao leave for the front in the morning to a?sai:a command of the cavalry. I am told that a vigorous pursuit is or ganized. . ' General Fisk leaves at daylight on an important expedition. Price's main force it is suppose is marching toward Lexington. Seven thousand ci Price3 command occupie4 Sedalia at 4 o'clock tht3 after noon. The rolling stock or tho railroad was safely removed to Tipton. It is is supposed that Price has divided his command, owing to a dispatch receiv ed from our cavalry dated at 2 o'clock this afternoon, at Prise was moving c:j Lexington. Col. Crawford, of the E. M. M. with his command had occupied the place, bu it is in doubt where he now is. Anderson destroyed the North Mil- ' souri road at High Jjill. The Rev. Mr. ' Robinson reports that Anderson tu'd hiin that his only orders were to raise hell in North Missouri. Thirty prisoners wer seat in ty our caTilry this afternoon. Gen. W'olf's brigade, E. M. M., ar rived this from Washington. The latest reliable intelligence .from the seat of war in this Stale is as follow Price's forces are on the fouth side of the river, wast of the Limine and march ing towards Lexington. There may be one thousand or fifteen hundred rebels en the north side of tha Missouri. Prics's advanced brigade, supposed ta be the pas commanded by Fagan, reach ed Independence yesterday. This ts rids' to bear out the supposition that the desti nation of the whole rebel for:e is Kansas, and Pricer'is following doubtless with Li main body. Sedalia, Oct. 16. A rebel force under Gen. Jeff. Thomp son, about two thousand strong, attacked this place yesterday about half past two. The militia and citizen?, seeing thera selves nearly surrounded, and cannon being planted to open upon the town, made a rapid retreat. A few in the fort bravely repuUed an attack, but finding themselves deserted and helpless, surrendered as prisoners, and were treated with great respect and kindness, and were parolled here. Tha citizens were set at liberty without parole. The rebel force left during the night. A Inrrro Infantry fnrrp flf fiUT trooDS 4 - has now arrived. Our merchants - lost some clothing, boots, &c.
