Washington Barrow, of Nash ville, Tennessee, died on Friday evening, ' the 19th inst., while on a visit to St. Louis. He had been in poor health for some weeks, : «nd only recovered sufficiently to be out a ■few days previous. General Barrow occu pied a prominent position in the politics of . Tennessee during the existence of the old Whig Party. He was appointed to aforeign mission by President Harrison, and after ward represented the Nashville District in Congress. He was a State Senator at the breaking oat of the late war, but he did not leave Nashville when that body fled to .Memphis upon the fall of Fort'Donelson. He exDressed a determination to remain . 'With and share the fate of his constituents, whatever that might be, and he did much to allay the excitement that succeeded the -evacuation of Nashville by the Confede rates. Driven to Desperation.—The Boston Voice saye a Benedict who has taken ra wife recently, was driven to the extreme •measure by the treatment he received in a boaitjing house where he was sick recently. He said he ordered, the servants to. bring him some gruel on Monday morning, but 'which he never got till Wednesday after noon. Daring his confinement not a single : soul.vißited him save the young gentleman who cleaned the knives ; he came not for • the purpose of consolation,’ but to . inform him that “Missus would be much obliged if :Mr. •- would do his shaking on a chair, -■so as not tg get'the bedstead apart.” This was the feather that broke the baok of his bachelorship. From that moment he re i solved to connect his fortunes with a piece of • dimity. - ' ' The. Gold Excitement. iN Georgia,— The Athens (Ga.’) TPafcAma» says: “In the upper counties, the gold excitement still - continues unabated—indeed seems to be in - creasing, it Is confined chiefly, we believe, to Hal), Lumpkin, Dawson and' White counties. In Lumpkin and Hall sales; of ■ celebrated mines have been made at high figures. Among the recent sales in the lat ter county that of the ‘Glad Mine’ has at tracted much attention, as it is believed to be very rich. It is believed there are other rich mines in thejame neighborhood. We Were shown specimens of gold found on an adjoimng tract which are certainly ■very xicli, and we learn that, from the Bigns, it is beheyed to be abundant.” : .*'■ jambs m. aertsen, ■ Secretary. MUSICAL. - The Bateman Concerts. —We have rarely met with a more enthusiastic audi ence than that whioh was attracted to the Musical Fund Hall by-the Bateman concert of last evening. The room? was fiiled .by an intelligent and discriminative public, and we were, at last, able to felicitate ourselves uponthe interest^wakened by this excel lent combihatio'n of artists.! ' ----- ■ Mad. Parejw had, on -the previous event ings, favored ns with illustrations of Italian and German operg, as.well as simple Engf llsh ballads, proving herself, in every in« stance, fully equal to the "artistic demands the occasion,... and ' eliciting, with each effortV'the-pladdlte of' a delighted audience. Her' greatest triumph was, however, re* servedTfor last evealng,'where she sang an aria .from Handel’s , Judas Maccabeus. After iso arduous a solo it was nnf<dr to insist upon an encore. In spite of this fact, the audience would hear of no refasali whereupon Madame Parepa sang another Handelian aria (from the Messiah.) In these oratorio .selections her magnificent voice and exquisite taste combined to illustrate another and a higher phase of art, than in the more modern- works she has hitherto giyen us. Need we add that her p9rform ance was in every way in keeping with the antique beanty of those noble arias ? - Mr. Mills played Liszt’s transcription of Mendelssohn’s Midsummer’s Night Dream, This, although one of the most grateful,' is, at the same time, one of the most difficult of Liszt’s arrangements, requiring the greatest rapidity and nicety of execution. As these elements constitute Mr. Mills’ great excel lence, the performance was in every way the best we have yet heard at his hands. In theexqnisite “Abend,” by Bobert Schu mann, and in the charming Chopin etude, he chose compositions beautiful in them selves, and calculated, moreover, to illus trate what a German would call the many sidedness of ffis musical culture. Of Mr. Boss’s pore style and technical facility we have already written at length. We can only add that, in the Souventftde Haydn he snrpassed his performance of Monday evening, and that he played, for the first time, a brilliant and difficnlt Hondo dot Lutins, by Bazzini, : Messrs. Brignoli, Fortune and Ferranti Were in excellent voice, were received most encouragingly, and were obliged, in almost every instance, to repeat their boIos! Artists of course feel that such treatment is de signed to be complimentary. - For all that, we cannot see what right an audience has to insist on having twioe its money's worth. This abuse is, however, one against which there will be many ahother sermon before a reform is.effected,. Performers are, after all, neither more nor less than human, and where, as in the case of encores, one appeala to their vanity at the expense of their com fort, they are as apt, as the rest of ns wonld be, to accede to the request. Should they « refuse, they are ignorantly deemed ill natured and disobliging; until they do .so however, they have no one to blame bni themselves for any annoyance caused by a too ready compliance with the demands of their audiences. We would, in conclusion, remind oar readers that the fifth and last concert takes place this evening. Let them attend and, if the artists will it, secure as many encores as possible, as it will be a long while before we again have concerts so delightfail as those given by Mr. Bateman. Italian Opera. —The performance of L’Elisir d’Amove, last evening, was un equal. Konconi was, of coarse, snrpass ingly'droll as “Dr. Dulcamara.” So artistic a representation of the Italian quack doctor has never been seen.' It is better than that he gaveLere years ago, for he has added mafcy new points, and refined the persona tion to absolute perfection. The audience wasconvulsed with laughter nearly all the time he was on the stage, Signer Baragli makes a most excellent “Nemorino,” sing ing with consummate skill and taste, aHd acting gracefully and with spirit. His de licious voice is exactly adapted to the music of the role, and it appeared to especial ad vantage in the romance, Una furtiva lagri ma, which he sang charmingly. Signor An tonucci made an excellent Sergeant Belcore. Mile. Konconi can scarcely be said to have made a successful debut. She has a pleasing presence and an intelligent manner. Her musical know ledge is good and she appears to sing well. But her voice, last evening, was rarely audible, whether from nervousness or weakness, it is impossible to say. It en tirely failed to fill the honse. Perhaps in a smaller theatre and after longer experience she may become a popular opera singer. ; This evening Ernani will be played with a remarkably fine cast; Sefiora Carmen Pocb, Mazzoleni, Bellini and Antonucci in the leading roles. It is years since the Philadelphia public has had Verdi’s mas ter-work offered to them by such good artists. For to-morrow, afternoon Qrisptyo e la Comare is announced for the last time, and on Monday;evening Jlmst will be pro duced in splendid style. The President, yesterday, had interviews with the Secretary of the Treasury, Secre tary of the Navy, and Attorney General, upon business of an official nature. Audi ence was also.givento.Bepresentative Law rence, of Pennsylvania, and Delegate Good win, of Arizona territory. Besides these, there, were at the White House the Hon. J. S. Black, of Pennsylvania, Judge Rice, of Maine, General Dick Taylor of Louisiana, and Jndge Kilgore, of Indiana.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. lOotxespondeneeof the Philadelphia Eve. Bulletin^ Paris, Friday, Oot. 12," 1866.— We have been receiving very 'contradictory intelli gence lately about Mexipo. I mentioned iu my last letter.the article which had ap peared on that subject in 'the! Memorial Diplomatique, a journal very, much under Austrian control and infiuence,and hitherto highly favorable to the- Mexican project. Youwouldobaerve,ho wever, that the arti cle in question had: completely changed its tone, and represented the existing state of things, in Mexico as nearly or qnite des perate. a Subsequently a despatch, via En gland, has reached ns, announcing the abandonment of Guaymas by the French beet and troops, and its occupation by thjfe Juariets. And, then, immediately after this, comes a despatch from Maximilian himself in person, aUresaed to his repre sentative in 'Paris, in which everything ia painted eouleur de ■. rose, and the general spirit of the Mexican' population described as “excellent.” We are naturally some what bewildered bythese adverse state ments, though we have at the same time a pretty shftwd idea as* to which representa tions are moat deservingof credit. Yon are probably in possession of much more relU able information than any that is to be prc/ cured here. Bui it may answer, at least, if not to enlighten yon, to learn what Is iaid before the French public on this-matter; The Moniteur of this : morning, for example, publishes,* in its * ‘turn, a resume of the official despatches just re ceived by - the Government from Marshal Bazaine, and dated the Bth of September. According to these authorities, the ’‘greatest tranquillity continues to be enjoyed by the central parts oi the Mexican Empire.” : It is allowed, however, that Jalisco, and other districts'are not quite so peaceful as for merly; and. also that the “general move ment of concentration prescribed by the Commander-in-Cbief, had in fact necessi tated tbe evacuation of Gnaymas, which was in course of execution.” But it is the journal La France, • which, as the month piece of the Court-party, and of the Empress and the private friends of Maximilian and his wife—gives. ru perhaps the real project now abont to be tried, as a last resource, by the French imperialists in Mexico. La France assures ns, in the first place, that the Emperor Maximilian is resolved to struggle ener getically against the difficulties which beset him, and not to turn his back yet awhile upon his new dominions. And this is pre cisely tbe language also held at the Mexican imperialist embassy in this capital. But La France next proceeds to explain the new scheme of occupation -Which is abont to be adopted. The impossibility of holding in subjection any longer the “vast territories of Mexioo” ia at last acknowledged. A re stricted occupation only, is now .to be at tempted, consisting, apparently, In keep ing possession of the capital and m»tn»nining the communications open along- the route leading thence to Yera Cruz. TOfik then, is all that the “excellent spirit of the Mexican population” toward him - enooorages and enables .Maximilian to think of doing I—to remain, perhaps, a few months longer cooped up by his own “insurgent” aubjeo ts in a narrow strip of his qnondam Empire! Trnly the Bltnatlon, even if tenable, would be as unpleasant as it is ridiculons; and the very emission of such an idea only proves anew how much more reliable is't he picture lately drawn by the Memorial diplomatique, than that just given us by theAfonifour. Yon will doubtless hear of the miserable result of the mission of the Empress Char lotte, and what has befallen that spirited bnt hapless lady at Borne. The story, as it reaches me by direot. intelligence from Borne, is somewhat different from the pub lished versions. The Empress, I under stand, had several conferences with the Pope, on the subject of the concordat and the religions affairs of Mexico. These are said to have terminated in altercations of almost a violent nature; in the oonrse of which His Holiness administered such se vere rebukes to her Mexican Majesty, that the poor woman, already hair-distracted' with her many troubles, and of rather an exalte temperament, t went stark mad, and has been since conducted to Trieste in a very deplorable state both of mind and body. It Is said that she has since become calmer; bnt snch a finale is well worthy to be the conclusion of tbe greatest folly and greatest mistake ever committed by so deep a man as tbe Emperor Napoleon. He still has, moreover, a difficult task to get through at home. For, on the one side,'heismet by ihe clamors of the thousands of ouvriers who were tempted to invest their savings in the Mexioan loans and lotteries by the countenance given to them by the govern ment, and who now dentand a guaranty for their money. And, on the other hand, the country at large,and probably the Chamber, are so Bick of and exasperated at the whole business, that they will hear of no inew sacrifices being made on aoconnt of it. The Emperor has got to choose which por tion' of his subjects he will offend by his policy. The inundations and the subscriptions for the - sufferers are still the great snbjeots of internal pre-occupation, in- the absence of more stirring topics. The .amount of subscription at present advertised is under 600,000 f; asmall sum for all France,when we recall what “national subscriptions” often produce in the United States or in England. Bat people here always expect “the govern ment” to do every thing. The cattle plague has, I regret to Bay, broken out in the Swiss Grisons, and appa rently also in Belgium, at Antwerp. The French authorities have, in consequence, prohibited importations from*both of those countries, with increased severity. Theweekly^returns of the Bank of France show a new diminution-of nearly 22J mil lions in the metallic reserve. Everything is sb yet very, dull in the money market; and tbe same may be said of the social and political world in Paris, which are only just beginning to revive after the holidays. The Emperor-is expected back in the conrse of next week; Explosion op a Kerosene Lamp.—Last night, about 74 o’clock, as two ladles were standing on the front piazza of one of a row of cottage houses on St; Ann’s avenue, near One Hundred and Forty-ninth street, East Morrisiana, they heard a terrific screaming, and immediately they saw ayoung lady named Louisa Wiley, a step-daughter of Dr. John Easton, .running through the hall en veloped in flaines, caused by the bursting of a kerosene lamp, containing abont a pint and a half of oil. Miss Wiley was a hand some . and- interesting young lady, about sixteen years old, aha' is so nadly burned that her life is despaired of. : Several per sons had their hands.badly burned in tear ing off the burning clothes from Jdiss Wiley. —2f. ; THE REBEL LEAD. :• ■' /. •' •„ \ nr. •„• f f .‘.4 Impressive Dedication of the Stonswrl!

STKS > Y a >, Thursday, Oct. 25, 1866.—ThededicationoftheStonowall Ceme tery at this place to-day has been attended by, over' five. thousaiddpeople, assembled from various points In the Valley of Vir ginia. Tbe occasion was taken advantage of to. transfer And bury the remains of Gen. T. Ashby and Capt. Dick Ashby, and also those of Cols. Marshall and Thompson—all late of the rebel army, and killed in battle. This was* done under the auspices of the Masonic lodges of the Valley, W. G. M. Carson and G. M, .Marahai officiating. The Ashby brothers were buried with one coffin in one grave. Their only relativetpresent was an aged aunt, thUlr sister being con fined at home of typhoid fever.: Immediately after these services the crowd gathered arohnd the stand erected for the speakers, and the affair of the day began, Gov. Henry. A. Wise delivering the follow ing oration: Fellow-Citizens: A mourning people meet in the midst of graves, the dust-of which is more sacred than that of kindred, to do homage to the virtnesjito commemo rate the deeds of their heroes. I came to condole with and comfort the living. Search among the ashes of the dead for example how to survive their death, how to live after them,, how to nourish the seed of indestruc tible truth. Alas! who are the dead? The buried, or rather the,bruised and broken suryivors ? -The blessed buried tore past the tear of future-tempest or a wreck on shore. Those who escaped, are still exposed to both. The buried are now immortal, while we survive to honor their names ancLdeeds. They need no monument, or mausoleums of earth. No hostile hand can strike them now- Eternity has sealed their testimony to the truth. Posterity will not permit hmnan history to be perverted to their shame. Their death bnly proved that they were preferred of heaven, When theyfell, they were not dead. We come not to bury the dead, bnt to touch the turf. They have no tombs, and we are ourselves alive again to brave misfortunes as they braved death,and make ourselves worthy of their sacrifice. Their mortal foes shall build their shrines. Their friends are too despoiled to more than mark theplaces where they lie all around them. Their enemies are gathering the whitening bones of those they repulsed and slew to raise mounds to deeds made memo rable, to memoirs made worthy of mention by their steel, and every stone shall tell the story of their woe to every passer by. Now - do ~we want their ex amples more than during the war, and need to heed them more than if we needed Gideon to bear ns through the flaming of the red hot war.-Wa.. need more than a Moses now to bear us np in dungeonsof de feat, and lead ns out by :o prove us worthy of the great trials with -which our honor is entrusted. I invoke then the mighty confederate dead, and lo! instantly the valiant clay of this consecrated Valley of Virginia becomes inspired with motion in every atom. A grave In Lexington, trembling, quickly gives np a life-breathing spirit in a great example—the sanctified Stonewall Jackson! A very Michael of der liverance, his example Bpeaks to ns of the intrinsic sterling stamina of his moral great ness. His Christian heroism, the eternal adamant of his character and nature; his supreme falth In God,faith In immutable mo ral laws and principles, and in their might to prevail in the end against all opposing power—these made him slonewalt. this example, which rises np before ub with its immortal fact, I reverently ask council here, amid these Confederate braves. [Here the speaker apostrophized the character of Jackson and continued.] The Stonewall example is not only admonishing, bnt is cheering and fall of hope. - It pats to shame not only the dead Machiavellian dogma that a fauh/the troth of a moral principle, can ever or could ever be submitted to the arbitrament of arms, to be conquered by the mhre force of numbers; bnt it scoots that worse than immorality which maligns a cause worth Stonewall Jackson’s fighting for,and worthhlsdyingfor.bycallingtialost cause. If crucifixion could lose a cause, the Captain of ottr Salvation was conquered. He died that the cause might live,and from that day the blood of-the * martyr has been the seed of the church. If our cause is lost it was false; if true it is lost, first victories cannot be termed final results. There were many errors in our ways of going out to war. Those errors fell. The truths for which we fought yet live. Whilst waiting for their resurrection or their coming in this hoar of darkness and of doubt—to all who, reoreant, wonld abandon faith; to all who, despairing, * would abandon hope; to all who, tempted, wonld resort to forbidden ways; to all who, timid, wonld shamefully succumb; to all who, impatient, eagerly cry oat, “what better can we do?” the Stonewall example strongly and firmly speaks. There a kindof pride, a decent dignity due to ourselves, which, spite of our misfortunes, may be maintained and cher ished to the last. . At this point the speaker addressed the old Virginians assuring them that old things mußt pass away, even the glories with the weakness of the past. Then turning to the young Virginians, he promised them that a day was dawning bright beyond any that gilded in the past the hills and valleys of the land of every man’s, pride. He inquired if they, too, impatiently exclaimed, “What better can we do ?” and said that they most strive to bear their.lot without reproach or guilt; that they most have patience, and that nothing could be worse than dishonor or desertion. If they answer, that they are poor—that Jackson failed—that his faith was impracticable and an obstruction—they made a great mistake. Here the Governor made a long appeal to the young men of. Virginia not to emigrate, to take their for tunes as they are, andfrom thepresent small beginnings, again work forward. He asked them where they would go if theyleave Virginia? Would they leave the United States? And if-they supposed the United States not free, where else on earth did they expect to find, a people as free?-.He-ex horted them to a fife of work —of constant, unpbtrnslve, quiet labor. If Virginia’s sons will but serve her, and save; her, she shall, indeed, be one and indivisible, a.new Virginia; greater; stronger, ‘ grander ' than was old Virginia. The orator then stated his .views as to the causes of the slow pro gressof Virginia as compared with the other States. ; In -brief, these causes were that Slavery created a N landed, arlstooraoy “which was antagonistic to progress and re pellent toimmigcatioa, Frooepding in Ul. slrgnment, he stated at length the advan tages Ofinviting immigration now that Sla very was destroyed. He spoke further’of mineral resources of Virginia. The only. direct allusion he made* to any political measnre , was his - reference division of the State and the creation of the State of West Virgmia,. as the “bastard child of political rape.” Nevertheless, he said, there a still substanceenongh left in Virginia, to insure her honor and more than restore’ her pre eminence. He concluded. as follows* We Catch, then, the inspiration of this toith, this hope, this life and strength from the halo of these heroes. The great good that they have dofielms after them. Blessed be their memories, I would, if I could, call them back tome other than in their example.' I divine not why I or'any were sparedwhen : they were token,unless to bear testimony; to their truth' and excellence,; their innocence and inviolability,and to try to live worthy of their deaths; and to be the moreready when their -Master calls to meet them in Heaven; Bring then no cypress there! Bring laurels to these -consecrated graved. May virtue, the only amaranthine flower bn earth, keep beantifnl their turf. Troth, the only lasting treasure, be their mmoment. Mourn wire no funeral dirge, but with ex alting anthems swell their note of praise! : At the conclusion of this address an origi nal poem of considerable length, bitterness and merit, commemorative of the occasion, was read by Daniel Denny, of ‘Jefferson County. Every sentiment uttered'by either speaker of a character-in- laudation- of the purposes of the rebellion' was greeted with expressions of intense ■ satisfaction; The crowd having dispersed, the- streets of the : village were soon filled with Bcores of drunken men, giving utterances to opinions better in keeping with the past record of the town than in harmony with its future good. Several small rows occurred about the rail road statiOD,.the combatants being left to fight out their feuds. A fiir is being held this evening in aid of the Cemetery Associa tion. The utmost harmony prevails. Ttae Late Accident on the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad. The Titusville (Pa.)

There seems to be little room for doubt that thiß terrible disaster was delibe rately planned and executed for the pur pose of robbing the victims £ A rail had been removed from the inside of the curve, and the train thus precipitated do wn an embank ment of forty feet. The cars rolled twice over in this descent, and but for a line of beeches and maples bordering the bank of French Creek, nothing could have pre vented the entire train and its living contents from being hurled Into the water. - As it was, the train yas literally knocked into splinters, or, to use the more forcible expression of a somewhat ex cited passenger, ‘lt ground to powder—it was pulverized ! r Excepting the wheels, trucks and iron work of the coaches, -there is nothing that can be used for any purpose but fuel; and while the victims of this fiend ish outrage were lying unconscious amid the debris, or painfully endeavoring to ex tricate their Lodies from the wreck, they Were robbed and plundered by men who had apparently come to their as sistance. The railroad .company have of fered a reward of $2,000 for the deteetion of any party connected in this ; cold-blooded atrocity.” " ' . . Honor to Veterans—Presentation of Me dals to Brooklyn Soldiers*. Yesterday medals were presented to four thousand veteran soldiers of Brooklyn, N. Y., by order of the Common. Council. There was a grand parade and much enthu siasm. Governor Fenton opened the cere <• monies. Admiral Farragut was then called for and he at length came forward, bat fol lowed the example of his predecessor in making -“brevity the soul or wit”—pimply returning thanks and stating, that he' deeply felt, the compliment bestow,ed Upon him through the honors shown by the city to ward her soldiers and sailors. ' Rev. Dr. Storrs was introduced and spoke at some length. Governor Fenton was then vociferously called for, and on being introduced; by Mayor Booth, said thatjie was gratified by this opportunity ef renewing ana extending his acquaintance with the city- authorities of Brooklyn; that he was. gratified bv the splendid appearance of the Second Division of the National Guard;, and profoundly grateful for theprivilege of meeting so many of the veterans whowent fromtheir midst, to secure the national liberties, which were the foundation of all the national prosperity of the country, municipal, State and na tional. ’ [Applause.] New .York had sent more than 450,000 men to fight for the Re public, making in themselves a larger army than waß ever commanded by even many of the most celebrated generals of history. [Applause.] . He was glad, that many of the veterans had entered the National Guard, for a well ordered militia is a safeguard for ; a well-ordered, government.

He engaged rooms at the Hotel FijnXj No. 10 Waverly Place, ana in tended remaining here a week or two be fore proceeding Southward; On Wednesday night Mons. Abet retired to bed in good health, .and. at. an - early, hour yesterday morning the pbrters and servants were sur prised to find the corridors filled with an overoowering smell of escaping gas. After considerable search throughout thebuilding the leakage was traced to the room occupied by the hanker. An effort was made to rouse the occupant.' After it was found impossi ble to do so the door Was burst open, when Abet was found dead ,in his bed. It ap peared from subsequent investigation'that 'the deceased had unconsciously turned the gas on again, after extinguishing it, and the room being a dose one, suffocation ensued. Coroner wildey was notified bnt he 'conclu ded to postpone the investigation till to morrow,' owing to the absence of witnesses. A superficial examination of the remains was made by Deputy Coroner • Wooster Reach, M. D., and he gave it as his opinion that death was -the result of suffocation. Deceased was 45 years of age.—lV. T. Times. Rev. Augustus Walker, a missionary of the American Board, died of cholera at Diarbeker, Turkey, at one o’clobk A. M., on the 13 th of ; September.
