Ushes a long lottor, in whiohbo speaks in terms of

Tho Odd Fellows had a grind procession in
Baltimore‘yesterday. Twenty-eight lodges and
encampments psrtiolpated in; it, inolnding delega
tions from Philsdelphia snd other cities. In the
procession, there were five, wagons, drawn by six
horses, attended #y turbanned grooms. These
wagons contained the- children ,who are being edu
cated by the Order, and each wagon , was hand
somely deootated with flags.:

otherwise:" . ..sn-' .
Her. George Trask, the anti-tobacco apostle, who
has delivered so many lectures and written so many
hooks against the ladian weed, says that .theolergy
of Nsw Hampshire are united in favor of its aboli
tion, the'.“sin” of tobacco-consumption,having
been fully disousaed and condemned in tho minifl;
terlal conferences of that State. In nrecent tetter
he writes:*
“ A statement was made at a late convention of
the Congregational ohurches of New Hampshire
that notone pastor, tnp>e whole connection used .to
bacco. This la a gauton the statistics of last yoar,
for then it was stated that there was but one who
was known to be a'devotee to the weed; that one,
I think, has sinoe disappeared by reason of death,
and hence our brethren can now, without boasting,
claim complete exemption from this perniolons
weed.”, .
In New York, yesterday, a man named R. Ro
binson Scott, said to be from Philadelphia, stabbed
a man named Callahan, who' bad remonstrated
with him fornsing improper language before la

An aeeident occurred on 'Saturday night oh the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad, near Cincinnati, by
whioh twenty persona were wounded, and “ but
only ono killed,says the telegraphic despafch.-
The affair was bo trifling that the name of the
“ only one killed” is not given.

The Great Eafttern’s .Accident*
• A thing .well begun, says the proverb, is
half accomplished. An nccident which occur
red to the Great Ecutem, oh her trial trip, is
likely, we apprehend, greatly to prejudice the
public mind. On the 9th inst., says the re
port which wo published yesterday,,“when
the Great Eastern was off Hastings, a feed
pipe casing in the forward funnel, which had
been introduced on the ground of economy in
heat and to keep the heat of the funnels from
the cabin, exploded with terrific force, blow
ing the funnel into tho air and tearing ,to
pieces tho grand saloon and lower dock cabins,
through which the funnel passed, and other
wise doing great damage to the Internal fit
tings.” Six men were killed and six were
wounded. Not one of tho guests was injured,
—they had qniited the saloon, after finishing
dinner, only a few minutes before the accident
occurred. The damage amounts to $25,000,
turd would be repaired in three weeks. This
will probably delay her departure until next
Saturday week, October Bth—if not stiil later.
The vessel is not, expected to visit Holyhead
at all, but to sail direct from Portland in Eng
land, to Portland in Maine.
This disaster and the consequent delay can-
operate favorably for the Bhlp. Both
causes null probably greatly diminish the num
ber of passengers on her first voyage to Amer
ica, ’Already they have depressed’ the value
of her stock, which is held in numerous
The accident, however, shows one thing—the
immense strength of the vessel. The report
says, “ Tho explosion is stated to have proba
bly been one of the most terrific which a ves
sel has, ever survived, and, which none in the
world could have withstood, save a structure
of such marvellous strength as the Great East
ern. She not only resisted it—her frame sus
taining no injury whatever—but it made so
little difference in the movements of the ves
sel that the engines were never once stopped,
till she reached Portland.” Itwas most pro
vidential that the explosion occurred on her
trial-trip, r and notuponher regular voyage. ■
Until she has safely crossed tho Atlantic some
degree of doubt as to her being safe may be
expected to exist.
The Mate Agricultural Exhibition.
The Exlnbition of tho Pennsylvania State
Agricultural Society will commeuco to-day,
at Povyetion, and be, continued on 'Wednesday,
Thursday, and The grounds, imve
been .arranged in excellent order, anddf the
weather is propitious, we anticipate a large
and snpendr display 6f the choice agricultu
ral and njanufacturibg products'of Philadel
phia and many. of tho contiguous counties.
The premium list embraces an immense varie
ty of'articles.
Many of tho .agricultural exhibitions wblch
have already been held this season, in different
portions of the Union,have been eminently,
successful. Thousands of spectators have at
tended them, and the number of exhib tors
has been very large, but, if a proper interest is
manifested, the 'exhibition which commences
to-day will be quite as successful as any which,
have preceded it, as there is no city in the
United States more advantageously situated
as a point for such displays than Philadelphia..
She is, surrounded by a 'fertile and beautiful
agricultural district, teeming with productions
of marked superiority, and, being the greatest
manufacturing city in . the world, she can, at.
will, exhibit a limitless variety of her .fabrics. ?
It cabnot be doubted thfet agricultural ex
hibitions have been t|ie means of accomplish
ing much good, by exciting a spirit of emula
tion In the hearts of farmers, and introducing
to their notice the many new improvements
which have revolutionized modern agriculture.
They therefore frequently combine valuable
instruction with tho entertainment they afford,
and many are doubly compensated for the
time .and expenso involved in attending them;

when bis wife demanded entrance, as a spectator.
And seoondly, she.was not “attended by Mr.

[Correspondences of The Press.] > v;
Wasiungtox, 8ept."20,1859,
Jefferson Davis, who has been ill afc the retidonoc
of a friend in Maryland, is noy in ;\Yashingtou,
and, I regret to say, in a stateM)if-considerable de
bility. iNo purer patriot than Mr. Davis overlived,
I believe. Indood, his history aertifios that on any
Opportunity he would unsheath his sword in de
fence of thg Union, against whioh he is so constant
ly quoted by his enemios. Ho is a man of remark
able ! o£ delicate sonsibilitics.
His tastes are all. refined; his manners those of a
gentieman of tHe’ofd soHool.WMl© Secretary of
War, he was one of the most oorreet, decorous, and
entirely systematic of men, yielding nothing to
favoritism, and never failing to do justice to an
enemy. - ]
> The fault of Jefforson Davis is, if ho has a fault,
that, in his devotion to his own section of the
Union, ho Is apt to forget other sections. But this
is natural 1 to a man of his peculiar temperament.
I ought not to call him impulsive. Ho is one who
lias boon in tho habit of chaining down his
uatutal impetuosity, and who long ago learned to
curb his impulses; but the fact that tho quarter of
the Union in whioh he resides has boou mado the
oonstant target of the Unjust assaults of its North
ern opponents, has .created the impression in his
mind that the most vigorous measures are neces
sary to resist the continuance of this practice.
Hence, his later speeches have savored of the seces
sion spirit. He has even been quoted ah saying
“thatin the event qf the election of Seward to
the Presidency, he would bo ready to secede from
the Uuio&.” I have no doubt that his proposition
to repeal tho penally of piracy against all who are
engaged in the slave., trade between thisoountry
and. Africa,, was suggested by the same feeling.
Let ns be just to Jefferson Davis. Let ns suppose
ourselves in his position before we denounog b|m.
l am not his friend for the Presidency, bntit is due
to myself to say, that whenever I called upon him
as Secretary of- War, he received me and treated
me kindly os' a private eitiien, and I believe that
if he were elected President to-morrow, he would
distinguish himself by exhibiting the mostgonerous
treatment to the North. Magnanimity is a part of
his character, and some of his enemies in the Bonth
are in the h&bit of saying that “if Jefferson Davis
were elected President he would behave to tho
South as .Seward is oharged with being willing to
behave to the South;’ 1 that Is, that he would bo a
good deal more liberal to the Northern people than
to his own, beoause ho conld take liberties with the
latter, just as Seward would, if he were eleoted, pro*
oeed to convince the Southern men that he was a
better national man than any other man, and fell*
citato himself upon the fact that tho North, how
ever angry it might be, would never be willing to
support him or any man -a second time.
A‘word, about Attorney General Black, who,
since ho hAB fallen into tho hands of Judge
Douglas is hardly worthy of mention. Douglas,
by the way, is the most fortunate of mortals. He
was disposed to let the Administration slide; but
just at the moment when he was falling into this
temperament, and after he had published his arti
cle in Harper's Magazine~in which he makes
no allusion, whatever' to the Administration—this
latter concern, conceiving, itself to be the
owner of the Demooratio party, puts forward
Judge Black to attack Jndge Douglas in tho
coarsest manner, (while denying any sooh inten
tion,) and to reopen the whole issue. I look upon
this as one of the most fortunate chapters in the
life of the 11 Little Giantfor nothing oould have
done him mote harm than the manifestation of a
wlllingnew to be silent In regard to the errors of
of the Administration.
Fascinated as the Administration has been,
however, by Judge Black’s answer to DoogUa, it
forgot, for the moment, to the step of sug
gesting to him that the Attorney General has no
right to frank any letter or package through tho
mulls, save that whioh belongs to his own depart
ment They forgot that immediately before they
had rejected all documents signed by the agent of
Mr. Oovode, of Pennsylvania, on the pretext that
the mails must be protected .against -all false mat
ter, either that franked by deputy or that sent
out by those who had no right to frank it.
Accordingly,' Judge Black, inspired by the
ajflatvs of his production, sat down and sent
out to all the Northern post offices his re
ply to Jndge Douglas, under his frank, and
under tho excuse of “official business.” I hare
before referred to this matter, but tils proper to
state that the right to frank is . held alone by the
President, ex-Presidentß, and the widows of Presi
dents Polk and Harrison, upon whom it was con
ferred by speoi&l. &cts of Congresss. Members of
Congress may exercise the franking privilege under
certain specific restrictions, but the Attorney Ge
neral has no more 'right to frank a letter or a
package through tho moils than & laborer in
Ms department, By a' construction placed
upon the acts of Congress appropriating
an annual amount to.pay the postage of letters and
doonments issued from the Departments, and by
tlUs construction alone, Judge r ßlack is permitted
to certify on letten or'packages, that their con
tents are on business 6f the Departments ; but he
does' this on his bohOr'M a! man, and of courso
will not pretend that his--'tfply to Judge Douglas
was * ‘ official basi ness. ”An<J ye the did so! Will
Postmaster Gonerai Holt pay some attention to this
delicate question, as involving himself, if be sub
mits to it, in a strange contradiction with his late
ly-assumed position. ' Occasional.
Public Amusements,
Four theatre? were in fall swing in this city last
night, besides MoDonoagh's “Gaieties” and
Sanford’s, with minor amusements. We can giro
an idea of what.waa done, which is all that tho
crowded state of our oolumns admit.
At Walnut-street, that very pretty woman and
,versatile actress, Mlsa Maggie Mitchell, commenced
an engagement. She appeared, d la Celeste , in
tho military drama of “ The French Spy,” (in three
characters,) and .in the comic drama of “Katty
O’Shoal,” with a song and dance. She exhibited
a great variety of talent,, and may bo fairly said
to have made a decided hit. -This evening she
.appears in “Satan In Paris,” and “The Maid
with tho Milking Pail. ,>
At theAroh, anew and lively oomodietta, (Tom
Taylor’s “Nino Points of the Law,”) opened the
performances, the principal parts by that storling
actor, Mr. John Gilbert, Mr. Dolman, and ever*
welcome Mrs. John Drew. The burletta of “ The
Spitalfields Weaver” was played, Mr. Wheatley
, and Mr. Clarke in the leading parts, Mr. Clarke
taking the part played by Mr. Buckstone in Lon
don, when the play was first produced. Lastly,
“The French Spy.” in which MUs Angela Safton
made her first appearance here. She is young,
well-looking, and isfineiy formed. Comparatively
a novioe on the stage, Bhe eridontly has decided
ability, and we wish that she had played earlier
!n the evening, and in a play better oaloalated to
display her talents, which are said to be considera
ble. She will appear this evoningin “ The French
Spy.”
At the Academy of Music, we regret to say, for
the sake of a very able actor, 1 Mr. J. W. Wallaokt
whose benefit it was, the attendance was very bad.
The performance was as good as it oould be under
the depressing influence of a thin house. The
daooing was good, as it has been all along here,
Prafesi and Galettl boing the performers. Lucy
Escott as Lasarillo , in the play of “ Don Cresar de
Basan” was. a charming page, and sang very
sweetly. She also sang in “ Gay Mannering,” as
Julia. Our roporter did not wait lor tho conolu
eion, as the'dclaysbetween tho acts, do., much pro
longed the performance. . This evening, “Don
Cfpsar do Basan” and “First Night” will be
played, And a good house may, be expected, as it is
the first evening of the Fair. ■
At tho National, tho Marsh Juvenile Company
played “The Naiad. Queen,” to not a orowded
housethe Walnut and Arch Street Theatres wore
so Aril that it seemed as if. they had monopolized
the play goers.. These children >play very well,
particularly Master George Marsh and Miss
Louise, but they had not practically learned the
acoustic qualities of tho house. The more naturally
thoy. speak, and the less they strain their voices,
the more certainly can they bo heard. There was
no lack of amusement, it wopld seom, for the au
dience applauded greatly and laughed muoh. This
evening thoy will perform “ Tho Naiad Queen.”
Stutc Debt.
(For The Press.]
Messrs. Editors : I noticed in your paper of
tills morning an article from the London Times, in
which, as in previous articles in the snme paper,
exception Is taken to the tax levied by the State of
Pennsylvania on tho interest of her State debt.
My objoot is not to defend the polioy of tho Slate,
nor to endoreo tho remarks of tho Timer, bnt to
inquire whether tho British Government In laying
on their income tax, exempt any inoomo derived
from tho interest of tholr national debt? Xam of
the .opinion that they do not, and that instead of
paying in full, they pay the amoun t loss tho incom o
tax—at least It amounts to that to the holders of tho
stock.
If-i aw correct in my supposition, thenit strikes
me that the less the Times says about tho tax 011
our State interest the better.
There is one other circumstance worthy of notfoo
in this matter, and that is, that while Pennsylvania
pays her principal and interest out of her honest,
legitimate income, our ancient friend Bull pays
only his interest (less income tax) out of his in
come os far that will go, and then like any other
bankrupt borrows enough to make up the deficien
cy, with an absolute certainty that he can never
repay the loan, except by creating a new one.
.The system of taxation in England has become
little lew, if any, than legalized robbery; and when
at last the burden becomes, as it inevitably must,
too heavy for the people to boar any longer, and
when John cin no longer borrow, what then
will-become-of the interest on tho national debt 7
Would it not be betterforonf friend of the Times
to endeavor to pluck tho moto out of the Bull’s eyo
before he attempt* to regulate the optical arrange
ment of- his brother ? °
If, as he - wishes, the Bev. Sydnoy were alive
now, he would be lonnd, f am sure, ready to do
justice to an honest State, which ho at ono time
traduood, led astray as ho was by misrepresenta
tions of this same virtuous writer in the Timer, or
by one of about the same calibre. John Ball
bas lost caste among the nations, and now never
allows any opportunity to pass of endeavoring to
"cover up bis own tracks" by pointing out tho
real Or Imaginary fault of his neighbors. W. B.
PBitoDEtraLa, Sept. 23,1859. '
, (Our correspondent is correct in his belief that
tho interest of tho National Debt of England is
snbjootto a deduction on account of income tax.]—

Montrkal, Sept 23— Kvenln?.—The oricket match
will undoubtedly result,.irom present appearances, m
the defeat of the Canadians. ,
The following is n resume of the play;
Tho matoh commenced on Katurdny noon, with the
Canadians at the wickets, hroin fast bowling, they
continued making runs until rnrr went on at the six
teenth wioknt. and made sad havno with his slows. The
last wicket fell for eighty-five runs, leaving the Cana
dians rather nervous from the sod prospect of success.
At 5.13 F. Mr, En*lnmi sent Wisdon and Grundy to
the wickets, ami. after some pretty play Hardinge
found his way to Grundy's stumps. .Hayward was then
seut in. mid plajed steadily with Wisden till sundown,
when the score stood seven lor one wicket,
To-day. at IUO A. M., tiiw bewi play, B „d ftt t hr« 8
o clock tho last wicket fell* .The Canadians again
faced tho bowling, but when time had been called. 17
wickets had fallen for 41 run*. Parr howled splendidly,
having taken six good wiokots.in half an hour.
The norvonsneßs of the first .innings had takon strong
hold—tiio “slows" finding their way faster to the wlok
ots than tho fast bowling.
Tho game was stoppod at twilight, the sun shining in
tho fiioos of the batsmen, with four wickets to fall ou
tho side ofthe Canadians.. England's first Inniuss were
117; Caimila’s sßoojul mmngs 13. Tho Englishmen are
to play in the morning to make 12 on their second in
ninss.
Tho " twenty-two” are laughed at by thoir friouds,
who bet two to one on tho “twenty-two’* of the St.
George’s Club.
The English “eleven play splondidlj .and it is a per
fect picture to see thorn. It is believed, however, that
they will find thoir oquals in tho “ twonty-two” at Ho
boken.
There were 6 000 people on tho around. The military
band played sopio fine selcctione during tho day. There
wore inauy Indies, nulitary oflico rs, ii nd houds of do part -

DEMOCRATIC MASS MBETIRG.
RATIFICATION OF THE CANDIDATES*
OBBAT ENTHUSIASM.
SPEECHES OF WILLIAM B. REED, BENJAMIN
H. BREWSTER, AND OTHERS.
Pursuant to the call of thcDemocratio City Executive
Committoo, a mass meeting of the Democrnoy was held
lust evening, at Jayne's Hnll. The building wns
crowded—there being, nt a fnir estimate, nearly three
thousand persons present. John Robbins, Jr., aoted as
president, assisted hr a largo number of vice presidents
and eecrotnries. ‘Mr. Robbins made n very neat speeoli
on taking the chair.
Mr. Benjamin 11. Drewstor being loudly called for,
came forward and said ho addressed tho mooting with
feelings ofthe gieutest sntUfaotiuu. When he per'
mitted ms name to be used before tho Into Democratic
City Convention ns a cAtjdumte for tho office of District
Attorney he pledged himself to support the nominee,
whoever he inuhi bo, and he came there to fulfil that
pledge, and to ask from the assembled thousands
lotore him their uta in securing tho election ot Mr.
Knonas. It was all-important to every rutin m tho com
munity that a good man should bo placed in tho office
of District Attorney—a tried man, an honest man, a
man oqual to all He responsibilities.
Mr. Knensahad for Ihb opponent William B. Mann, a
gentleman well-known to the tpoake’-, and formerly
Assistant District Attorney to Win. B. Roed. He would
not indulge in any personalities toward Mr. Mann. Ho
elt bound n:> a gentleman, as a member ot tho eamo
profession, not to use any personalities towards him.
Jut ho nevertheless would feel Jnmsellat liberty tooon-
Inut the official conduct of Mr. Mann with that of Mr.
Cnena*. and to ask tho audience as the result of that con
trast to condemn Mr. Mann jor his actions, andapolnml
hoconductofMr.Kneaw. Whon Mr. Kuonsswasousted
Yuiuoffico bv Mr. Rood, did ho turn around mid bargain
with hie opponent—a man who had charged him ana his
VtmlßvrHh vmrjury? No.whoiuuwtod by tho Uo
eft theoontost an pure and unsullied as when ho en
tered the canvass. When Mr. Mtnn had putoliarges
of fraud on the record agaiunt Mr. Cfissidy, ho should
have HUdorod his right arm to bo cut olf before ho matte
oilers oi a compromise to a man whoso character bo
had thus impugned. Compare tiio conduct of tho two
men, and Horn H. Kneass morally appeared as an angel
light in comparison with tho. darkness ol Win.
Therewero other considerations not to be lost sight
of in this canvass. In a tew months there would Ik* a
Convention held at Charleston. It became us in view
of this, to unite as a party, for tho sake ot the future.
Whore was there a man in political hie who had not at
Romotime felt himself hurt by tho action of other*. But
what right had tliAf man nr any man to obtrude his
grievance* on the unity and tfhrmony of ft party—a party
that bad a great principle at tho bottom to defend. We
have had our dissensions. Ho was of tho;e who had
stood by the President for two reasons. In the first
place helxdioved him to lie right, and secondly, he knew
Mr. Buchanan believed he was right, and he felt it his
duty to stand by tho head of hra party as the embodi
ment of his principles. Wo should manifest no spirit of
Pharmmicnl and insolent intolerance to the men former
ly of the party, but who are now honestly opposed to us
—men who had erred from the discipline of party. We
should onbn wide tho doors nnd invito them uacl: to the
fold, nnd thus once more united, we would march, as we
hjut often marched l>efore, to n grand and glorious
victor?. *
The Hon. Wm. D. Heed, on twine introduced to the
meeting:, said:
Mr. Chattinait and Itiiow-cittzens: It is now more
then two years since I ha\c opened my Ups ou the sub
ject of domestic politics, and if nnv ono has come hore
to night expecting 1119 to say a word altout the wretchod
local squabbles that—if wo mav believe the newspipers
—Are agitating the Democratic party* he witltw disap
pointed. But if it will do any gond-if it will strengthen
nny feeble heart or trembling knees to have the enr ,
nesf, cordial, and I hope disinterested testimony ol
one who has looked on the home Incidents of the
past two years from a distnnco, and therefore coolly
and without prejud ce.to tlie.patriohain, integrity, ami
ability of the Administration of Mr Buchanan, that tes
timony filial not lie withheld. Very much on the same
principle that I now abslntn from oiscussint the impor
tant question whotlier Mr. William (j. Edwards is or is
not elected a member of tho Executive Committee, do 1
ask to be excused from saying anything now 011 the
other question, llnuuhterl whether the Collector of this
port—a gentleman of entirely irr'proaehnblo private and
public cnaractcr-ls a tyrant or nor. I lenvo such mat
ters to those who havo a taste for thorn, and with the ex
pression of in) hxed belief (list nine-tenths of tho re
spectable Democratic voters of this city regard such a
strife and such questions precisely as I do—and that the
real question tor them, as patriots, to consider and de
cide, is how far the Administration of the Ooneral Go
vernment is worthy ol support, and by what means the

I expose myself to Ml 9 imputation or the recollection
that I once was a Wine, and ver) recently an office

either. When I remomlicr I once was a Whig, I recall
dais when what was price culled the Whig party did not
think its whole end and aim the i)avery question—when
My. Webster, who was called a pretty good Wing,
supported a fugitive slave-law. for the protection of
Southern proport) Against Northern fanaticism—'When
Mr. Clayton pronounced the Missouri bill unconslitu

his doctrine (and we Whigs were vor> apt to take his
notions ns law,) that ft Tormotlnl Legislature could not
interfere with slavery, or with the tenure of slave pro
perty—the Presidents doctrine exactly—when Winfield
Scott, whom Mr. Buehajinn is now censured lor employ
ing on an errand specially suited to him, was a beaten
Whig candidate, and whon the boundary Treaty 01
JB4&—which the organs of the People’s party
nre denouncing • the President for making— was
ratified by Uie vfites • f fifteen Democrats and twenty-'

How and win I ceased to boa Whig, and wjthwhat

you all know as well as I can tell you. I picked up jes

description of Jbin process of change with which incon

rate. Let me read it to y'od. L tells tnv tale for
me, and that of thousands like me. When tho
Whig party of the North marched over in a lnuly
to tho Abolition camp, oithor directly and openly,
or covertly and socrotly, thromh the Amopcan organi

patriotism, the safety of themselves and country
