Unreliable Intelligence.
The summary of foreign news, by,the steam
ers from Liverpool and Bonthaniptdli; supplied
to the neWiipapers ('f for a con.loe4a.ti.ort")
.tßreugh!;the,figeney of :the A iodated Press,
Is compiled by painstaking entifeies of that
;3icallent AssoCiation. ; In general, it is fairly
as Well,aiably executed, and its errors—which
are few and lar between--are'faults of omis
sion rather than of commission.,''' One error,
however, the news -condensers have a knack
of ,felling into. have repeatedly.allnded
to it, and now dopo again, not as a mere ilia.
Sion, but as a positive complaint.
In the snmmaryot foreign news; from Halt
fax, by the mail-steamer Canada, which we
published„ yesterday, the lines, "Rumored
Ministerial Change—Lord dons RusseLL to
Supersede Earl Dexter," are the taking head
lines which.precede the summary itself. This
list of leading contents of the news is put on
in England, as prefix to the summary.
What can any one think who reads these sug
gestive headings; but that, a Ministerial change
was about taking place in_ England, and that,,
Contrary to all, reasonable, expectation, Lord
Joint Russo, was about becoming Prime
Minister /' So, at least; it struck us, and, we
must say, that such a move upon the political'
check-board very greatly surprised us. A
farmer Who eovied turnip-seed, from Which be
had" a crop, Of potatoes, could not have been
more surprised at .the result than we were.
On reading the, summary we found the follow
ing expressive menses :
"The London Advertsser gives enrrenoy to a re
mor that. Lord Derby contemplates retiring, and
that ~ L ord John Russell is to noosed him as
Premier, with Lord Stanley and Mr James Gra
ham as prominent members of the Cabinet. It
18 further stated that this new combination will
have the support of Mr. Bright and his party."
So, as we rather expected from the first,
this precious ca ra is one of the weak inven
tions' lifthitglirand-waterdaily oracle of the
pot:houhee, called the Morning Advertiser, bet
generally knoin,all over London,by-the signi
ficant title of " The Tapia." It is edited by
.I'Anas 'GaAs; who, some twenty years ago,
Produced ;those highly imaginative " Beni
loctions of the Lords and -, Commons," which,
eagerly =re-printed here, have been generally
accepted_' in. trite, while in England they are
laughed at, to this day, as GRANT'. Books of
Blunders.
Over and over again, wo have exposed the
folly of quoting anything 'Vont The Tap-tab,,
and we. repeat the caution here, because wo
shall take care that, if the news•eutninary .
writers at Liverperd and Southampton ever
again give importance to Tap-tab rumor,
they do so with malice prepense, and advised
to the contrary. It may be said Yon attach
too much importance to this." Our answer
is, that it is important to . have correct foreign'
news, and that, almost of necessity, the Amer.
loan public attach as much credibility to the
Advertiser as to the Times,—the fact being
that the first is wholly unreliable, whereas the
other is very guarded in every political an
nouncemeet, or even on dit, which it publish
es. Let us imagine that the London papers
published , a regular summary of American
news (whicksphey do not), and that such a
paragraph as this - appeared, prefaced by head
lines, in striking print, "Rumored Presidential
Change. Juno GLASOT Jones to supersede
President Beanartur,"— '
"The Waildta Pattie Azs of Freedom
gives currency to a rumor, that President Be
chanan contemplates retiring, to become head of
a Monastery in 'Utah, and' that Jahn Wane,'
Jones is to sucoeed him as President, with Thor
low Weed and James Gordon Bennett as -promi
nent members of the Cabinet. It is further stated
that this now combination will havethe support
of Mr. Stephen A. Douglas and his party.
An American who should read this in The
Times, at his breakfast table in London, would
throw down the paper, of course, in a convul
sion of laughter, the tears trickling down his
cheeks at the ludicrous idea of our poor Bat
tle Arc being accepted, any where; as authority
upon any thing except gay young bachelors
advertising 'for wives; female astrologers, an
nouncing that they would show portraits of
future husbands to inquisitive females, and
quacks 'announcing their deleterious com
poundsfor sale. But the information would
be taken as, correct, all over England, for some
days. (untiLthe next steamer contradicted it,)
and a pretty idea England must have, in that
interval, Of American politics and politicians.
Whatthe Batik Axe is to our market-women
and vegetable' venders, the Morning Advertiser
is to th 6 public houses of London. , It Is the
actual property, and ,the,usnw.t.- 2 -,..1, of
the i m uu.......lrwucrl'argely patronize it. It
- endeavors, it °ma r t° , serve God' and mam
intl.?, for affecting -an undertone of religion, it
curiously mingles things spiritual and things
spirituous. It probably does not circulate
800 copies out uf London, and probably never
gets into a gentleman's house; except when
John, the fhotthan, borrows it from the Adam
and-Eve public-house, when he purchases his
pot of " half-and-half" for supper-sustenance.
Of course, it has no way of getting any know
ledge of political rumors—simplyibecause
leading politicians are not in tbo habit
of • flUquenting , ap-rooms and discussing
Ministerial charges over pewters filled with
brown-stoat. No mortal man, above the
rank' of a brewer's drayman, a dustman, a
small green-grocer, or a vivacious coster
monger, would believe • any political rumor
enunciated by the Tap-tub. Wby, then, if it
be thus discredited in London, ' where it Is
known, should the 'Associated Press give au
thority to its' Inventions, by quoting them, as
if they were true, or likely to be 'true 7 'Why,
in a word, should tho American public have
canards , forced upon , them t Of course, the
English papers by the following steamer will
not breathe a syllable of the Tap-tub'e
"rumor."
Why not 1 Because the Tap-tub gots up
these rumors exactly and exclusively for
American circulation. It knows that we ac
cept the Times as authority, and, realizing the
fable of the frog and the ox, the Tap •tub aims
at smuggling itself into equal credit with the
Times. This is the sixth attempt, during the
last twelve months, to bring the Tap-tub's
name into American circulation, sad, like the
precedingtive, this tc rumor" will turn out to
be a lle.
As for the "rumor," examine It, and down
it falls, like the castles built-with cards, which
little May or small Annie take wondrous pains
to erect, and a single touch annihilates.
1. Lord DERBY, on the eve of a great Par

soundly beaten. 2. Lord jonx RnssErz,
whom the Queen declined to send for, last
spring, to form an Administration, when Est

likely to be appointed Premier, even should
Lord DEBBY leave office. 8. Lord STANLEY,

had manosuvred his father (Lord DEBBY) out

as a letter-opener and weather-cock politician,
is at variance with 'Lord Jon Rosen&

would be a bold Premier who' should
admit Gastrin into his Cabinet. 6. Mr.

most pointed manner, that he could have no
confidence in any Reform Bill which Lord

ANOTHER NEW PATENT.—A valuable improve'•
ment in railway ear-wheels, and boxes and
has lately been effected by Dr. William 13, Fah
nestook, of Demeter, which, we think, will prove
of much importance to the railway interests. as
the improvement .(which was patented by tilt!
United fitatis on the 90th of Marsh last) effect
tunny obviates the dillkulties so long experienced
from the eliding and friction of car-wheels on or .
against the rails.
This improvement consists, flret, in so oonstruet
ing the wheel that it has the advantage of being
independent, single-bearing, and self-balancing;
and, eeoondly,•tn improved boxes, in which the
ends of the axles revolve at the same time that
they describe the necessary aro of a eirole, there
by giving the wheel perfeot freedom to follow the
lino of the rail, and oonsopently preventing the
eliding and friction of the wheels on or against the
rails.
An examination of the models will readily rug
ged to ovary ono, of any meohanioal knowledge,
the advantages claimed for the invention which
aro at once apparent. One great feature of this
arrangement is it simplicity and evident durability,
Instead of the long axle (Mane:Ong the two wheels
revolving together—one of which must slide on or
against the rail when the oar Is rounding 'a curve
—this has the independent wheel and abort axle
on either side, self•balanoing and working on a
single bearing—thus greatly reducing the friction
and at the same time enabling the oar to turn the
sharpest curve without the least eliding on• or
lateral friction against the rail, which, with the
wheels and axles now in use, no noon grind and
splinter the rails Of even the longest curvature.

Lecture of lion. John P. Hale on,Nj
-r tionality:
lar g e,A and Intelligent audientio assembled, at
Musicaland Hall last evening to listen'tathe
second leeture before the Literary Congress of this
city, which was delivered by hon. John P. Hale,
on "Nationality." The ball was filled to its ut
most capacity.
After being introduced, Mr. Hale said, that be
fore commenting, he would say to the audience
that be bed prepared, in essay form, an addres s
on the subject on which be was about to speak, and
delivered it in Boston; but being a stranger, com
paratively, to the audionee before him, he had
thought it better to deliver, an extempore address,
as there might po'sibly be sentiments advanced
from a written production which might not be
agreeable to an audience, bit that if a speaker
should give spontaneously his ideas as they were
presented to him, if there was anything which
Some might consider objectionable, It would be
more readily overlooked.
He then proceeded to say that hatiOnality, in
its broadest sense, was patriotism ; that it was
owing to this feeling of patriotism, which took en
tilt possession of a man in the Old 'World, that we
of this Continent this day, enjoy all the blessings
of religtoes liberty. Ile was a great admirer
of patriotism, and felt the force of the words,
Breathes there amen with soul so dead,
Who never to himself bath said,
This In my own, my genre land i"
But of nationality, as with almost eiretything
else, there were two kinds—the real and the coun
terfeit. The real wan really good, and the coun
terfeit bogus of the worst kind.
Nationality had an almost magic power. If men
Who had been politioal opponents for years would
chance to get together and have a chit on this
eubjeot for a few minutes ' they would bo united
together as closely as were Saul and lonathart.
In the convict of his.remarke be spoke of the
three thousand clergymen who, in the face of a
large majority, opposed an obnoxious measure,
and applauded their course In the most glowing
terms. Ho considered them national men of the
right stamp.
The national man, he said, is so gigantic in in
tellect that he cannot oondeseend to anything of a
sectional character, nor Oonsent that the rights of
one portion of a country most be made subservient
to the other, in order to keep the whole together,
even though the question be one of vital im
portance and of a sectional character.
He then spoke of the disposition of many of
the present day to bo constantly crying out for
the things of the past, and, like Old Mortality, to
Be whining and hunting 'mong the tomb-stones,
never reflecting that if they could exhume some
patriarch he could be of no avail at the present
time. The present, in his opinion, was quite as
good as the past, and it was a significant feet that
the Bible bids us leek to the present and to the
future for our happirias.
Ho was frequently Interrupted by demonstra•
time of applause, and the audience departed for
their homes apparently highly gratified. The
next Jeanne of the course will be delivered by
Hon. Anson Burlingame, of Massachusetts .

'Wisconsin.
kIII , LORABLS PICTURE-111881SG GIRL—IIHART
11110ERN Wirs—uNnernr FAMILY.
. Last week, Monday, about two o'clock P. M.,
Miss Amelia Dutcher, sister of Mrs. Bright, of New
Lisbon, came in the stage from Qainoy, anti stopped
at th'e Tanner Mlles in this place. She took a
room, and said she wished to stay over night and
go to Baraboo next morning. She was in the
sitting room most of the afternoon, took tea about
dark, and nothing unnatural noticed in her con
duct. In the fore•part of the evening she went
out of a bank door ; but as no particular notice
Was taken of it, It was afterwarde supposed she
had returned to her room. Next taething, at
breakfast time, and as the Stage was - nearly
ready to Start for Ilaraboo, Mr. Tanner went
to, the door of her room and called her, but upon
rapping and calling, no answer was returned,
and on opening the door ho found she Was not
there. Her puree, with about two dollars, her
bonnot, and hearldrees and hoopt, were left in the
room, but herldtawl Was done, and thore bad been
ne one in bed. Inquiries were made all about
town as soon as her absence was discovered, and
search Was made along the river, bat nothing
could be hoard, or seen to throw any light on the
subject. In the afternoon, while at Tanner's, oho
asked some one where the depot was, and it has
been supposed that she might have done so for the
purpose of going to the railroad in the evening,
and following it to the rivor. But to this time
(Monday forenoon) no now discoveries have been
made. The Prevailing opinion is that she threw
herself into the river, and was carried, perhaps,
far down the stream by the °orient.
As this is probably the sad termination on h.q.
part of a series of crimes in which another was tho
chief actor, we feel it our duty toward him and an
outraged family, and our duty to the public, to
state the foots as we have learned them from good
antberity.
J. W. Bright, ESQ., with hie family, moved from
Ohio to New Lisbon, Juneau county, over is year
ago, and entered into the practice of law. Lost
,;erinter and spring he edited the New Lisbon Be'
tel,fitireen, and became pretty generally known in
:this regiOn. =llis family emssiated dthinmalevwite3
two ohthlteni and his wtfe's sister, Miss Amelia
Dittoher.Haat spring. and early this semmor his
nemturore - dinoovered that there was trouble in the
family; and, finally this trouble became so bad
that Mrs. B. (who had always borne a good
reputation in the community, and still maintains
it) felt obliged to open the whole roper to some
of her friends near by, and ask for advice. Prom
her and from Mr. B. tho following foots VOID
gathered :
The difficulties commenced five et six Yeath ago
in Ohio, when the sister went into the family to
M
lire. r. B's conduct wassuoh towards his wife,
and such toward the sister, that Mrs. B. felt that
she could not livo so, and finally it was so bad as
to arouse the community there to such a donee
that Mr B. thought It moro safe to leave than to
stay. He accordingly sold his plaeo with, the in
tention of removing to the West; but his wife re.
hued Vertigo the deed till he pledged himself not
to take the sister wish them. After she signed tho
deed, and while preparing to more, the sister- also
prepared to move with them, contrary to the
advice of her parents and brothers and
sisters. Mre B. then refused to come, but she
finally yielded on Mr. D 's promise that the
sister should not live in the family—that
be: would obtain a school for her, he. They
then removed to New Lisbon, but instead of ful
filling his promise, he kept the sister in the family
until about two months ago, when she went to
Qoiooy, at the house of a cousin of Mr B. Lost
spring his tyranny over his wife, and his in
timacy with her sister, attracted' the talon.
Sou of the community, and became so bad that
Mrs. Bright, as we have stated, revealed the
whole to her neighbors. At this he became
boisterous, swore and threatened revenge upon
his nits and all who had anything to do with It.
Bat other eltotunstanoos aroused the communi
ty still more." It was found that ha was a fre
quentyleiter at a piece or places of bad repute;
and Ito learn that at the late term of the court in
New Lisbon he was Indicted for adnltery. In fact,
be became so odious to the hest part of the com
munity that some of the ladies forbade his enter
ing their houses, and others refused to spo ik to
him, turning their faces away when they met him.
Some two months ago a report became current that
the sister was enoiento, nod she soon' left for
Quinsy, where Mr. Il oormelonally visited her. In
regard to the report, are do not learn that it is
known to ho true
In this state of things Mrs. B was advised to
apply for a divorce. Upon hearing hor intention,
Ddr. B forestalled her by getting oat a petition
himself for a divorce. But, finding that there
would be no chance In that community, he aban
doned it, and went to Indiana, and oommenoed
prooeedings there to obtain a divorce. Returning,
and learning that his schemes had seen found out,
he professed penitence, went to his wife and asked
bar forgiveness, said he would lead a new life if
she would live with him ; that if she would con
sent to the sale of the plaoo ho would withdraw
his divorce suit in Indiana ; that they would go
to Indiana, where he had roade , arrangements for
a law partnership, and to edit a paper, and that
they would there live happily together. Thus he
again obtained his wife's confidence, and lived
pleasantly with her a few days, till he procured
her signature to the deed disposing of their home
in New Lisbon; and now he has left her again,
and it is supposed has gone back to Indiana
Under tide state of things the sister mime bore
from Quincy, and disappeared as before stated.
In regard to this disappearance there are EOM)
other eirourtuds4toes which ga to strengthen the
belief that go has destroyed herself. It is said
that'Mr. 33 . ha 4 Intended to give her a title to
"some land "gear New Lisbon, which title proved
worthless. From that and various alight oiroum
stanees—espeoltilly his attempt to procure a di
vorce from his wife—it is believed that he had
promised the Sister that ho would obtain each di
vorce and marry her. It has been further under
stood at New Lisbon that be has lately written a
letter book from Indiana, to some crony, stating
that he is living with another woman thorn.
Then, too, Miss Duteher's relatives, including a
sister who lives at Baraboo, had condemned her
comae. Under ttese oiroumetanoos it is natural
to suppose that if she started to go from Quincy
to Baraboo, on arriving at this place, the thought
of the reception she would meet there, and from
'all her relatives, should she go to them and asp°.
',Dirtily the thought that her last friend, Mr. 8.,
had deserted her, would prove sufficient to drive
her to a sad resolution of self destruction
Mr. Bright, we understand, was formerly a
Methodist minister. Ho is easy in his address and
familiar in his conversation, and many of his edi
torials were bold in condemnation of drinking ea
loons, gambling and other vices. But no ono of
ordinary perception can be in his company, even
for only a short time, without discovering that he
is coarse and vulgar, and almost entirely desti
tuto of moral prlatiplo. The probabilityis that
he =ado a profession of Christianity and even
preached the Gospel in order to weave a thiokor
cloak for his deviltry. Nor the orodit of the edi
torial profession, no will say that he never was a
professional editor. He only edited the Republi
can a short time; as a secondary business, till
some other editor meld be procured.

A Novel Expedition.
An expedition of an unusual character, and
highly intetesting in a commercial point of view,
is about to leave our shores. A. number of re
spectable persons of various industrial pursuits,
accompanied by their families. design to sail short
ly for an island in Central Ocompea, one of the
Papuan groups, with the avowed object of (stab
lishing a colonial eettlement for the cultivation of
engar-cano, cotton, coffee, and other tropical pro
ducts, with the abundant and cheap free labor to
be obtained from portions of the Malay Archipela
go ; also to establish a free port for the exchange
of produets with the people of the surrounding
islands, whieh shall become an entrepot of trade
with China and Australia, and available as a
coaling station and for the supply and refitting of
whaling ships in the PROMO waters.
The objeote embraced In this scheme of coloniza
tion and trade have Within the last two years en
gaged the attention and received the approbation
of several Departments of our National Govern
ment and of commercial bodies in different parte of
the country, The House of Representatives, in a
report, No. 801 Thirty-fourth Congress, First see
eion, rooommends that we "open the trade of the
Malay archipelago at points where Rolland fails to
make good her pretensions to an exclusive inter
course," and suggests that "private enterprise
will be abundantly sufficient to accomplish this
end." if protected by the Government ; and says
furthermore, in this connection : "Let that surplus
of energetic &roe which frequently manifests
itself by restlessness at home, or in adventurous
and 111-dethed onterpricee, be turned into
this opulent channel, and it will become
a eonree of strength at home and a theme of
admiration abroad." The Boston Board of
Trade, reviewing this report, in a memorial ad
dressed to Congress, published by the board in
1867, urge upon the attention of Congress the pro
nriel ankintrierbutostaid_daspeu-ssuvey
to negiallate treaties of amity and commerce with
any independent tribes or states of the Archipela
go Which may be found there of suilleient power
and importance to warrant so doing."
It is not the policy of our Government to take
the initiative in enterprises of this character, but
it to ever reedy to protest the enterprises of pri
vate citiceus in remote lands with which we have
had no previous intercourse, by the establishment
of diplomatic and consular agencies; and we are
informed that the piomoters of this new Ameri
can enterprise in the South Pacific have been as
sured by the Executive that the expedition shill
be protected by an °Metal appointment.
The scheme now presented is a novel one, and
may appear somewhat romantic in some of its Re
peats; but we are assured that it is the result of
much careful personal observation at the point of
settlement. and that it has been carefully matured.
Our present relations with China, which obtains
from the Malay and Papuan islands the greater
portion of the raw staples employed in her arts and
manufactures, render the establishment of a free
entrepot in the eastern portion of the Malay Archi
pelago, Under American auspices, and to become
in a measure an Amorlian Singapore, an event of
signal importance to our Eastern and Pacific tom

Nelson Leo's Account of what he saw
among the Camanehes.
The Albany Knickerbocker notices the return to
that city of Nelson Lee, who was taken prisoner
by the Camanche Indians in 1856, near Eagle
Nast, while on his way
. from Texas to California.
Ha furnNies the following :
Leo's life was spared because the Indians could
not manage a repeating watch which ho (tarried.
The watch saved his life. In the Onmanche camp
Mr. Leo found no lers than twenty-eight captured
white women, and some thirty or forty children
A day or two after he arrived in camp, they
mannered an English woman, named Anna
Haskin, in a most oruel manner. They tied her
naked to a tree, and, in the presence of her two
daughters, Margaret and Harriet Raskin, infroted
the moat revolting cruelties upon her. Before Mrs.
Makin was Scatty despatched, she was tortured
for nearly half a day, during whieloii: the Indi
ans became excited with liquor an cod about
her like so many demons. They too a lap pieces
of dint and eta her flesh in all possible directions.
Mrs. Haskin and her daughters were captured
while on their way to the Mormon settlement at
Balt Lake. The daughters still remain with the In
diana Their ages aro 17 and 10. Lee made his
escape in the following manner. lie was accompa
nying the chief of the Oamanehes to a lodge aome
miles distant. During.the tramp they met a party
of Indians; the Indians gave the chief a skin
filled with liquor. The chief drank of the spirits
and became excited. Arriving at a creek he die
mounted and stooped down to drink. At this mo
ment Lee seized his tomahawk, split his head
open and killed Min instantly. lie then took the
chief's rifle, !mounted the chief's horse, and put
for Mexico. When he reached Mexico he was
completely naked, while his feet and legs were so
swollen from being out by the cactus plant, that
he could go only some eight miles a day. The
last hundred miles he did on foot, his horse having
died of exhaustion. The Mexicans treated him
very kindly, and gave him money and clothing to
reach home. The clothes he now wears in Albany
are those given him by the Mexicans.
The Florida Indians.
The Key of the Gulf of the 30th ultimo fur
nishes some late Indian news : The revenue cutter
John Appleton, Lieut. Oom'g William B. Ran
dolph, returned to this pert on the 28th, from a
cruise. We learn - from Lieut. R. that the In
dians mentioned in our last issue have again
visited Miami, and have hod several ‘' talks,"
with a view of uniting under ono chief. One
party of twenty-one, under Tiger Tail, nephew of
Sam Jones, insists upon hie being the bead chief;
and the other and more numerous party, under
Harry Randolph, aro equally ac earnest in press
ing the claims of the latter. Ono party is encamped
at Arch creek, and the other at the Bunting
Ground. They atilt express a desire to live in peace
with and protected by our laws, and if they offend
to be tried accordingly. They say that during
the late war they wore well informed of and olosely
watched the movements of the troops, but never
injured any 000 except in self-defence. They
Mow that Major Rector will boon be in Florida
again to persuade them to emigrate to the West,
but they say they will not go. They will no
doubt avoid the Istajer, ne indicated by the foot
that a young Indian, called Billy, in the employ
of Mr. Fletcher at the time, .as aeon as be caught
sight of Lieut. Randolph's uniform, gave a spring,
and was over the fence and far away in double
quick time. The Indians have plenty of money,
and only went powder and lead. The settlers at
the Miami hoer testimony of the etriot honesty and
good faith of these Indians so far.
Will Mr. Jones be Confirmed?
Mr. Buchanan rebuked the people of Berks
comity, became they would not return the " briber
Jones" (so Getz says) to Congress The fact that
the same people once gave him, Mr. Buchanan,
nearly seven thousand majority, should have made
him treat them more leniently. Will not our
moat potent, grave and reverend Senators aid old
Berke to " rebuke the robuker?"
There axe stronger reasons, however, why Mr.
Jones should not be =linnet:. He has neither
the eduoation, ability, nor diplomatic knowledge
for such a post. And, had he all those requisites,
the tact of bis having written a certain letter to
the Iron Association of Philadelphia, recommend
ing them, if they desired a revision of the tariff,
to confer with Mr. Cornelius Wendell, should alone
entitle him to stay at home. Rumor says Mr. Wen
dell did oall upon the association, but owing to the
depression in the iron business they could not ar
range matters with Mr. Wendell in such a way as
to be agreeable either to himself or Mr. Jones.
Again, it would utterly 'ruin Mr. Jones pecuniari
ly. He rented a house at Washington absorbing
the whole amount of hie salary, and should be do
the same thing at Vienna, where would ho find
the needful to keep up appearances in one of the
gayest courts of Europe? We have many other
reasons, but, for the present, refer our readers to
the Hon. James M Porter, to whom Mr. Jones
once paid particular attention, when the subject
of hie confirmation was before the Senate of the
United States.---.Thirks County Democrat.

THANKSGIVING—Now ANb Tlniii.:L=Thii day
of our ThankagiVing Ia oeef, and the grateful b nisotui
of many thotisand hearts bare ascended in unison to
the throne of tied. it to now a thing of the peat; but'
ere it Is swallowed up in the rushing tide of memory,
there is a comparison we would like to draw—one which
struck us, while' yesterday witnessing the appropriate
and all-pervading gratitude Which marked our whole
community, as singular and impreeelve.
it was the thought of the day to 1857, compared with,
the rid'y in 1858; of-the Thanksgiving now—and then
of the difference so vast and eto painful. Then all was
gloom, slid dismay, and misfortune, and sorrow; for
tunes ruined, hopes blighted, credit proattated, sus
pinion supreme, disasters dire, millionaires seeking for
their bread, and superiors in pride acid wealth sub
alterns In poverty and wretchedness; suffering uolver,-
sal and unexampled; our pear crying ,for food, and
seeking in vain for the wherewithal to honorably earn
it; Impious Ingrates flying with the orphan's portion
and the widow's ditto, concealed' under a Christian
cloak, to riot and revel across the sea ; of honest men
nobly battling against the fates, and dishonest men
gorging oh the spoils of the fray ; the wreck of com
mercial toniplee old as the Confederacy, and the plan
de, of treasuries plethoric with the mitinnulated pit
tances of needy and confiding therutande. All these
things we witnessed, and more.
And note—.yes, now—what a change! What heart
can behold It and not swell with joy: what mind con
template and not fill with gratitude? The dismay and
gloom have melted sway, the mutual euspicion merged
into mutual confidence Credit, crashed to earth, hem

THE CHESS TOURNAUENT.—The excitement
in regard to the great liournament.” as the chess
people persist in calling it, was very general in all cir
cles* yesterday. The American Telegraph office wee
visited by a large number of amateurs end others
during the day, a board with the men arranged as at
the adjournment, beioe open to *fetters As New York
heaths, nix% move, conjecture wee rite as ,to what it
would be. Several sanguine Philadelphians were risk
, lag email same on the movement of the B'ack Knight,
and their cenfldence in their ultimate slimier WAN on
the increase. The attack on the Philadelphians at the
continuation of the game on Wednesday wee considered
by many as entirely too precipitate, the Phltadelphiatte
compelling the belligerent Queen to retire by a series of
well-executed metres.
The New Yorkers bare loot a Bishop, a Haight, and a
Pawn, while the Philadelphians have lost both their
Heights and a Pawn The management of the Pawns
during the progress of the ghme has been exceedingly
still ul. ,The New Yorkers calculate on the advantage
the first move gives, to obtain the victory. while the
Philadelphians express themeelvee satisfied if they can
force a draw Thp game so far has been a model one,
exceedingly well played on both eldee. .
In New York city, according to the Herald, a Most
lively interest is manifeated in regard to this contest.
Ta the Merchants' Exchange, where the players were
assembled, a very la ge audience of the moat distin
guished obese amateurs from New York and Brooklyn
were present. Very little betting, according to the
name authority, took place as to the result. but at the
adjournment the 'porting gentlemen were offering odds
on the animal of their position. 'Some of the Phila
delphia moves astonished the Gothamitee particularly
when they moved a WIWI to-H, R 4 and their king to
B eq. New York evidently to- bt
_
moved - to-Q: n- 5, which would have rendered their
"Peelltion very intricate, without giving nny material
advantage to either side. Oar own players had their
reasons for making therm moves. en the further Iv cress
of the game will doubtless show. The progress on
both sides r articedarly the New York. has been very
slow. In the majority of instances both parties occu
pied the allotted fifteen minutes in debating each move,
and in one the New Yorkers took twenty minutes.
Nothing brilliant In the way of attack or defence has
yet been exhibited. the game being very close and
cantionaly played. The. contest will be resumed to

ponderous. aad unmanageable, but, so far, with
rather indifferent success. The and heavy
inereaee in the vet te of horse-flesh,lind in the
cost of maintaining horses, operates as a bar to the
extension of the. old-fashioned facilities - for- do
meatio travel, while - the . maohines that have
been oonstrueted on the pri nciple of the boy's ve
locipedes involve rather too tench exercise of bane "
and muscle, and carry toe little weight, to answer
the needed purpose.. But where there.are plank
roads, or paved streets, and on' good -gene
rally, there is no reason at all to prevent the em
ployment of steam carriages for every purpose now
attainable by horse-drawn vehicles. The people
want them, and will have them ere long A for
tune 'awaits the man who shall soonest bring into
market jest the right steam carriage.

A trial has been in progress in this oily for the
last few.days, which has excited greater interest
than any which has eacurredlar years. The par
ties are all strangers, and yet the tale unfolded by
tbb evidence was of the saddest character, and full
of those bitter realities which exhibit life in its
shadow and its gloom. According to this Mid
epi
sode, one of those worthless and abiftle.s men who
live on'the edges of society, and who form one of
the floating and changing elements of our large
eitier, crossed, upon an unfortunate turomer day,
the path of a young girl in the oily of New York,
'
of most respeotable parentage, and wiled ber from
her parents and her - home. sEcareelyaeventeen,
favored by more than ordinary beauty, the choke
flower of a family °hole; third/ant out' ono oriers
noon, to return after days of absenoe, a ruined'
outcast, with the mark of infamy upon her. Her
seducer 'and destroyer brought her to this city,
and perpetrated an outrage which stamped him as
a cool, deliberate villain; whom punish - Meiit &Imola
follow as surely as the avenging fates: ' - '- - -
'We do not care to enter upon any details of the'
ease, but it is safliciant - to gay that- they were of a
character to render the conviction of the person
charged a matter of publics congratulation. The
verdict of the jury last evening was received in
every quarter as a just and righteeis one. - Every
parent feels,to-dav that the courts have thrown a
new guard around the family heartilt, , and,that the
innocent and tboughtleas have been thits proteot
ed from evil. The heartless wretches who throng
our cities, looking upon the young atid ' bbat<tifal
as their prey, have been ; taught:-a leintonz - vrhich
they will long remember.' And many a'giddy and
thoughtless gliiMight from the tonehing,
story of this ruined outcast, at lesson which would
leave its moral in her heart.—Life has its pages of
individual history more sadly written than any
which romance portrays, and they who truly read

CITY ITEMS.
REl.lolonli SianMSS YUSTERDAT.—We doubt
if ever, in the Watery of our city, a Thanksgiving day
wee so largely marked With a general attendance upon
religions services M wee yesterday. The charming
phyelcal aspects of the day wore peculiarly adapted to
the sacred purposes for which it wee act "apart; and at
en early hoar scores of oar citizen' were seen wending
their way to the various appointed places of prayer
and thanksgiving, many of which were of a union
character. As early as nice in the morning the peace
trims could not pees along our etree le any considerable
distends without being reminded of the call upon him
for thankeglviag ant pra'se, in the melody of sacred
song, as it fell upon his ear. Towards eleven in the
morning many of our places of worah ip, of all denim!.
nations, were found filled with worehippirs to hear
from the scored desk the choicest efforts of heart and
intellect prepared by the different clergymen with
special reference to the merlon.
Having in yesterday's edition acqusint•d our readers
with the fact that religious services would be held rn a
large number of our churches, many of whleh were then
named, together with the stated subjects lapin which
discourses would be preached, it would seem anaemia.
eery to repeat them now, especially as to attempt a
notice, no matter bow brief of each, would be an almost
endless undertaking.
In the several services at which it wan our privilege
to be present in the coarse of the duy we found notonly
au unusually large attendance, blot a delightful epirit of
grateful recognition of the Divine goodness that cannOt •
fail to exert a wholesome influence upon the churches,
and civil institutions of our city and land. A singular
coincidence, which we eannot but mention here, la the
fact that in four religious gatherings oat of-five, which
we attended, a part of the initial services consisted in
reading that illimitable exhortation of ravia to bless
Got for hia mercy, contained in the hundred-and-third
Psalm, opening with this rapturous apostrophe to the
soul:
" Mese the Lord, 0 my cottl ; and all that Is Within
me, bless ble holy name. Bleu the Lord, omy BOW,
and forget not alt his benefits " •
Everywhere the devout inquiry seemed uppermost In
the eervices yestirday—" What than I render unto
the Lord for all Lis benefits towards me ?" And
within the closet of the heart of thousands, we have
rescon to believe, the well-pleasing response was " I
will offer to Thee the ascrifice of thankrgiving, and will
call upon the name of the Lord I will pay my vows
unto the Lord now in the presence of alt his people."
A beautiful and most appropriate feature in the re
ligious services yesterday was, that in very many of the
churches collections were taken for the benefit of the
poor; and we are glad to learn, alto, that in not a few
instances the thank-offerings thus made were truly am
meter iced with Christian generosity. This good deed
clone would be sufdclent to mark our annual Thanks
giving day as s fragrant flower in the boorket of time.
