Tho vast amount noeded to reduce tho Southern ..rebellion" is opening thc oyes of Northern property-holdors and business men, - lind creating alarm. They begin to ask their political loaders if success, admitting it to bo possiblo, is worth tho price it will cost. To koop dowa thu rising spirit of discon tent, tho war* journals of tho North arc rc : sorting to tho expidicnt of promising rcim busrotnent from confiscations of Southern proporty. This delusivo plan may cheer Northern hopes awhile among tho credulous, and supply tho ranks of its armies with mer cenary adventurer.-?. Thcro is no lack of Northolm Union-savors of thc school of Cap tain Dugald Dalgctty. Hut tho plan will neith er supply tho Northern exchequer for pres ort needs, nor holst ir up thc Federal credit in Wall and Lombard streets- Ponds issued on such a security for payment, will not com mand a high premium. It ia not amiss, however, thal Southern mon should keep'advised of tho benevolent intentions of our Northern brethren, who are wooing them baok to their fraternal embrace by the. pursnasivc eloquence of booming can non, and of whizzing rifle bullets, The New York Tim rs, of the 8th instant, thus seeks to checkmate "tho insidious trait ors" who'ox fi ross doubt:: v/hethersubduir-g Hm .South is worth tho money it will cost : ? CONFISCATION or Ilv.itKr, HST ATES.-In estimating thc cost of the warthat tho Nation al Government is now waging for its own O istenco, against a most nefarious insurrec tion, our pcoplo are sometimes startled by tho vast amount of money needed, and in sidious traitors muong us intrude thc inquiry, is tho. reduction of tho Southern hostility to tho Gov?rnment roally worth the iinnionse sum that will bo required ? Hut tho loyal cit izens of thc oountry have not shrunk from thc task of suppressing tho rebellion, great ns thc task is, and although it may cost four hun dred or six hundred millions of do!furs, or .oven double thoso sums ; and thoy hnvd not stopped to consider whether the wholoamount of tho immonso war dobt will have to bo paid out of tho proporty and resources of tho loyal States alone. . At this timo, therefore, it may bo encour aging to tho coiintry to bo reminded that, by .?tho law and usAg? of nations, it is cntiroly lc 'gitimntc to innko proporty of tho citizens of tho robel States, whoso wickedness thus pro voked this war, pay the wholo debt incurred by tho nation in restoring tho supromnoy of tho Constitution and laws. That it will bc j|us>fcto inflicta ponalty on tronson, no ono ?an deny, and tho country will domond tho re cognition of this prinoiplo, partially, if not to its full oxtont, by n special impost on tho pro perty of thoso traitors who lmvo plunged tho Government into its present onormous out lays. Tho debts incurrod by tho Confedornto , States for tho Rupport of their conspiracy and revolt, aro olonrly without law, and void and will bo so treated by nil national courts.

Tho ro^ollloii was nomiually inaugurated for tho protootion of slavo propor. ty. It has pTaotioally destroyod it. Tho only safety of slavo property now lies in tho restoration of tho Constitution and tho Un ion.

And it can well oftord to do so, in view of tho foot that tho monoy now expend ing by tho nation IB tho absolute salvation of tho property in question. Mr. Secretary Chaso very properly presents this wholo subject to tho consideration of Congress, in his admirable report on tho Treas ury.

A larg congregation assembled on Sabbath morn'tn at tho Second Presbyterian Church, to lien tho Hov. Jas.

A largo nutnbor ot indies and gctiiiuiuuu pytv present. His l?xoellonoy tho President ootcd us spokcsmtiu on tho occasion. A correspondent of tho lliohmoud Dispatch, describing tho affair, says : " Tho Logion was formed into three sides of a squaro to re?oive thc President, whoop ?oared on a grey horse, a ^om pain cd by Col. lampton and staff. Many yt us had novor seen tho boro of Buena Vista boforo, nnd his appearance difforcd somewhat from What wo had fancied. His keen, calm cyo alono indi cated tho warrior, while tho sorono expression of countenance, and plain, simple manner of his bearing, denoted moro tho student and statesman. Advancing a few paces in thc hollow of tho square, ho took thc beautiful banner with evident emotion, and addressed his ( friends and fellow-soldiers of South Car olina' in tones and words thatj stirred thoir bosoms with feelings of pride and devotion to thoir native State, and that moistened tho eyes of many with thc memories of her past achievements in tho old Bcvolution, and on tho gory fields of Mexico. Ho told tho Le gion that tho flag was tho work of tho fair fingors of the descendants of Darby, and Wil liams, and. Campbell, tho heroes of King's Mountain, aud Cowpcns, and Eutaw.

Herc was another banner entrusted to thoir keeping, and before him stood thc men to preserve it from defeat) and, liko thc heroes of Ohurubusco, they would hand it from one to another until thc last man falls, or plant it triumphant on II conquered field. Ho was sorry, ho said, that ho could not bid thom hope thc smiles ol pence would banish from our loved country thc dark clouds of war, for ho felt that wc bsd hardships to endure-privations to beal -great deeds to do. For himself, bc had not como to thc office ho occupied for its hon er, but to share its perils; and when Carolin? levels her bayonets for thc last charge, lu hoped to bo with them. He intonded to bi where men bleed and die With suporaddec confidence mid pleasure, ho jominitted tin beautiful flag in tho hands of Col. Hampton as thc son of a noble gentleman, nnd tin grnnd-son of'n gallaut commander of . 70." Three times thrco were cuthusiiisticnlh given for Jeff. Davis, and after thc band lute played a fino air, Colonel Hampton replied " that coming, as it did, from thc hands of otu reverenced and honored throughout thc lengtl and breadth of tho whole Southern country this flag, in itself demanding thc highest feel i tigs of pride and reverence, with bright cs memories of Carolina clustering around it, wa doubly valued. Ho would ask his followor to defend it." Ho asked them to'" look upoi its Palmetto tree and silver crescent ;" tbei turning to Sergeant Darby, ho said : "To yoi I commit this sacred trust. I know you wei -you must remember timt you uro tho grand son of a patriot and hero." On taking it, Sergeant Darby briefly replied " that it was his pride and pleasure to bc lb bearer of that beautiful banner; that whil life histed it would never go down before th enemy, and if it did fall, his epitaph would b written on its folds."

After tho army had cros sed tho rivor nt Williamsport, tlenoral Neg loy's brigade diverged from thc main road on loading to llodgsviljo ; Company A, of tho : 15th Pennsylvania regiment, were sent iu ad vance of tho main body ns scouts. It con sisted of sixty-tbrco ineu. At tho residenco I of William MoGorry, li sq., a farmor, they called a heit, and hailing ono of the daughters, j inquired for her father, whoo they said'they bad an account to settle with, ns he had been feeding nntl harboring rebol troops. " Tho young Indy said sho did not kn nv whero her father was, when twelve of thc par ty started out to bunt. Several of tho re maining 'wops now grosslyinsultod tho young lady, ?od said to her if sho did not reveal whero her father was that they would put her to death, and pointed their bayonets at her breast. At this stage of tho proceedings a body of 25 horsemen galloped up, under Cap tain ltobcrt Swann. They were on tho point of being fired upon, when Captain Swann shouted, My God, mon, don't lire on your friends! Down with your muskets." Upon which they, thinking it was sonic of their own troops, obeyed thc order. As quick as thought, Swami's men were off their horses, and, withdrawn swords and pistols, demanded their surrender, which they did without he sitation. They then disarmed thom, and taking the straps off their canteens, tied their hands be hind their backs, and in this manner marched them off through Martinsburg to Winchester. The men were ordered to march ata " double (mick," which they complained tlioy could not do, as they were much wearied ; but Gnp tain Swami's orders were imperative, and forward they woro pushed, with all possible dispatch. Thc captain of thc company cap tured was in town this evening, appearing much depressed about the matter; thc re maining twelve men refusing to inarch under him, blaming him for their misfortunes. Swami's .purry each took two muskets in front of them on thoir horses, und mad those men throw away their haversacks, <&c. This was a daring feat, and was performed by a May lander, and a citizen of Washington county. " Another feat, and ono more humorous, was that of a slavo of Mr. McGarry's who captured a lieutenant pf the same company, disarmed bim, and divesting him of his 're gimentals,' sword and pistol, doned them him self, and marched him 'prisoner-of-war' off to Winchester.
