TAE WAR.
Nothing but a battle, and that right speedily,
will save the Army of the Potomac from the alter
native of winter quarters; and the main rebel
army is likewise inevitably thread to resume the
contest. It is, therefore, highly probable that
when it does take place, the thook will be terrific,
perhaps eclipsing that of Antietam. With issues of
so much magnitude involved, it would b unrea
sonable to leek for anything but a desperately con
tested struggle. , A victory for Lee would mean
the prolongation of the war for months, and might
bear a still worse interpretation by Secession aim
logists abroad ; it might even mean the c tpture of
Washington, and a repetition of the Maryland in-
Yasion. But whatever its signification might be, it
could never mean peace or compromise--hence it
could not, under any circumstances,. be decisive.
A victory for the Union army, on the other hand,
Would mean the dispersal of the rebels, the pro
habit downfall of their capital, and such a bright
enitg in the aspect of our natio. al affairs, as would
illumine to the eyes of all the world the pathway
to a perfect end honorable peace—by the return
of the secedes States to their allegiance. We do
not Say that ibis much•to-be desired end would be
the immediate consequence of success in the battle
mow impending. There would still be hard fight
ing and weary marching Who done by our armies;
but to every soldier's eye, the end would be
plainly in view, guiding his footsteps, and cheering
him ever on, as the pole , star, guides and cheers
the mariner.
Ildottnart, the audacious guerilla, envious at the
success of Sivart's recent tour of observation
around the Army Of the Potomao, has attempted
the came scheme, on an equally bold Boate, In central
Rentooky, with the Army of Ohio. Oa Saturday,
with fifteen hundred men, he dashed into Lexing
ton, which was held by comparativ:ly a mere hand
fel of our cavalry, and succeeded in taking one hun
dred and twenty. five prisoners, who were at once
paroled. Apparently without waiting to do fur
ther mischief, he .moved off (still in imitation of
Stuart) in a semtoircle, intending to pay a visit
to Frankfort.
THE NE WS
Almoven at the present writing all is quiet along
the Potomac. we print to-day some readable cor
respondence from that vicinity. The Washington
Star, of Saturday night, bald the epinfon that the
rebels in • General Mt Cleltan's front will shortly
fight. lie is evidently hourly crowding them more
and more, and they have notyet evinced a dispoaition
to give back. The fact that if they prefer retreating,
he may, .by„moving • upon the arc of the circle,
through some near part of the Blue Ridge, get
before Richmond as soon "if not sooner than they
earl reach that point, marebiug down ttie valley to
Staunton. is the reason why it is now thought that
they must BO:m.l3:lßa* attem ries a retreat. Stuart

Edneaueg the People
The stern teachings of the late elections
cannot be obscured by the coarse calumnies
of the mere party newspapers. . First of all,
let us 'be thankful that a majority of the
people of Pennsylvania have decided-in favor
of :the Atiminiatration of the General Govern
ment:, 1 bey have endorsed Re entire policy,
itlettading the much-misrapresented acts of the
Bret-session of the present tiongress. They
may be connted,upon from this day -forth as
tha.uncompromitiing and hearty supporters of
thoite public servants in whose heeds we have
reposed the greatest of all human trusts—that
of preserving the freest Government on earth.
The men who voted against the Administra
tion in this and . other States on Tuesday
last, ar.d the men who, are . now waiting
elsewhere to follow their example, must
. not and cannot be called disloyal. They
have never been so charagterized in these
columns. We have studiously drawn a
broad line between the dishonest and dan
gerous leaders, whom these citizens have per
mitted to misguide them, and the citizens
themselves. It is frequently a most difficult
task to convince an individual of his conscien
tious duty to himself; and our trial with slave
ry in this war.has proved that it is far more
difficult to educate certain classes of our pee.
ple as to their obligations to their country,
and, by consequence, to themselves. It was
in vain to point what are called the Democra
tic masses to the avowed treason of their ac
cepted organs, whether at the head of
their State Committee or at the head of
their leading newspapers. It was in vain
to point out the, otter impossibility of
opposition to the Administration without
weakening the Government. Every argument
exposing the absurdity of We hue and cry
against the negro was treated with contempt,
and every evidence of the disloyalty of tho
leaders was so construed as to be made appli
cable to the Democratic masses.. But while
this is a somewhat discouraging thought, it'
does not follow that in due time even *thee°
who voted against the Government; on Tnes-.
day, will not admit the full force of the argu
ment we have made. In fact, " like the'
men who sustained the Admini-tration, they .
will come at last to discover that they, too,
should have sustained it. Observe how rapid
ly pro-slavery men, who have gone to the
battle-field, have abandoned their prejudices.
The speech of General Primness, on Friday
evening, at Willtud's Hotel, in Washington, is
but one of a thousand that have fallen from
the lips of Democratic soldiers since the war
began. All these_ experiences and practical
examples, however they may have failed to
operate in certain quarters, will finally reach
the common heart, until the band of sympa
thizers in the Free States will be reduced to a
minority, as harmless as the old Abolition
party was in Pennsylvania thirty years ago.
We Khali then find confiscation and,ernancipa
tion, so far from heing.cause of alarm and in-,
dignation, bailed as rightful !remedies for the
disease of the Rub,ttlion.
. .
The little Democratic leaders,' . Who have
'been frightening and bewildering honest men,
will become Abolitionists in the strongest
meaning of the phrase, and we may see Mr.
RANDALL running in the First' .District as a
candidate for re-election under the emanci
pation banner. Of all his transformations, we
think this will be found, if not the most sin
ccro, at least the most popular and enduring.
Let us not attempt to conceal from ourselves
that either cur people must take np and use
the most rowerful weapons against slavery and
the rebellion, or they must themselves yield
tb slavezy and rebellion. It would be a novel
yet a wholly natural sight if' the very Breck
inridgf rs chosen to Congress in Indiana; Ohio,
and Pennsylvania, should take their aerits •on
the Ist of. December, 1863, unless sooner called
together 'by the President, or unless an bone
table peace is meanwhile concluded, as the
vehement champions of any policy that wilt
crush the institution of slavory. At present
these men, and those whom they have de
luded, are probably honest in the belief that
treason cannot be defeated without a saving
clause in reference to slavery, and that mum..
ciyation and confiscation, and all other strin
gent measures, only tend to °emendate the
South and divide the North. But every hour
they live will add a new reason to show that
this is a foolish and fatal error. The
rebels themselves will, prove to be the
best schoolmasters of all loyal men who have
misunderstood their obligations, by sup
posing they could vote against the Adminis / -
tration, and not weaken the Government and
help the common enemy. ,We repeat, that the
moat gratifying feature of the late elections
is, first, the fact that probably two hundred
thousand teen in this State have declared, that
the rebellion must be put down at whatever ,
cost, and that the slaves of rebels
_shill be
eniancipated ; and, second, that the President
will fail, utterly and shamelessly fail, in the dis
charge of his dutirs, if be does not vigorously
prosecute the war until peace is concluded on
the basis of the restoration of the Union and
the vindication of the Constitution. And we
repeat the prediction, that with this vast body
of resolute and conscientious'snpporters, rest
ing upon the solid foundation of truth and
freedom, they must finally bring over to them
and the`just side of this mighty question, all
honest men who have heretofore rpposed,
and continue to oppose, the AdMinistration
and the Government.
Does Lancashire Want .4Cottoal
The cotton lords of Lancashire are in a
curious dilemma. On one hand; their factories
are wholly or, partially outof work, and, on
the other, they have made and are making im
mense profits on the sales of their m laufac
tures. Two years ago, these cotton-lords had
as much manufactured materials, fine as well
as coarse, in their warehouses, as equalled the
usual demand of the whole world tor the next
five years. Had the accustomned quantity of
cotton Leen supplied from tie Linitei States,
the Lancashire factory-masters would still have
gone on increasing their, stocks of > cotton
manufactures ad libitum, beyond all pOssible
Consumption, and finally clearing away these
accumulated stocks at a tremendous loss. As
it is, the manufacture has nearly ceased, from
want of the raw material; the poor artisans
are out of work and in poverty, which a.severe
winter will make worse and may convert into
social war ; but the cotton.lords, who are sell
ing off their goods at much advanced prices,
are really making more money now, While
their mills or factories are doing next to
nothing, than they ever made before. The
war in America; 'which has deprived
• these
people of cotton, has been the making of them,
by checking their production and ensbling
their stock to go off at increased and increas
ing prices.
Perhaps these facts may throw light upoli
the apparent nonchalance with which Lan
cashire has regarded the non supply of cotton.
Were the manufacturers in earnest, did they
really 4 ‘ starve for cotton," they would have
taken some pans to procure it from other
than American soil. They talk a great deal of
what should be done, but do nothing. They
ought to have sent competent persons and h
million or two of dollars over to India, to
attend to the increased culture and produc
tion there, but, instead of thiS, lately voted,
at a public meeting in Manchester, that Sir
CHARLES
- ma - a, ought to be impeached by Parliament
for not growieg cotton in Hindostan. They
might as well impeach- him for not growing
Catawba grapes and Newtown pippins on the
rocky soil of the cold and sterile Orkneys.
At the time they did this Mr. S. Lama, late
Finance Minister of India; who had great per
eonal knowledge of that country, had an
nounced that if the people of Manchester
leaked to India for a supply of cotton whereon
to employ the toiling population of the North
of England, they would and mast be disap
pointed. c 4 Years," he said, tt must elapse'
before cotton can be grown in India in suffi
cient quantities to supply the place of that
which has heretofore come in from the United
State of America, and even if cotton were
grown, the industrious and skilful inhabitants
of India, living upon the spot, would manu r
facture for their own profit the cotton they
grow." '
Were the supply of American cotton never
to be restored, people would have to come
back to the use of linen and woolen garments,
which have beensuperseded by the cheaper and
less durable cotton goods. These goods are
steadily advancing in price, and when their
cheapness has dcparted, the public wilt see
the advantage of reverting to linen and wool
en, as more durable, pleasant, and wholee
- some materials for wear. On the Continent of
Europe—espepially in France,. Belgium, and
Prussia—the growth of flax has been largely
increased of late, and, particularly at Rouen
and Lille, the cotton, manufacturers are adapt
ing their machinery to the manufacture of flan
and woolen articles. The cotton lords of
Lancashire have not dreamed of such a change.
They are doubling their ordinary profits, while
the artisans are starving, by the sale of their
vast accumulations of cotton-goods; and, until
Ithese are cleared away, they, must' not be ex=
pec 'Mid to do anything for subiiitituting` wool
and flax for cotton. Charity is on their lips
and cupidity in .their hearts. The Lancashire
' cotton-lords do not want, cotton, just yet.

these counties is accounted for by the absence

Smith O'Brien.
Our numerous Irish readers are interested
in whatever concerns their friend, Siam
O'BRIEN. an incident has, just occurred
which shows his peculiar idiosyncrasy. The
Landon Gazette announced that Queen Vic-
Imam bad been pleased to allow toe brothers
and. sisters of Lord Inchiquin, with the ex
ception of &urn °Titian, to have the rank
and precedence to which they wou'd have'
been entitled had their fithor been a Peer.
Ofi the death of the last Marquis Of Thoramid,
in July, 1865, Sir Lucius O'BRIEN, B ',rocket,
elder brother of the martyr patriot of Ireland,
succeeded to the Irish barony of Inchiquiti,
the marquisate becoming extinct. The Bri
tish rule as regard's the prefix a honorable "
to any name is very himple, viz. : that it shall
alone be used by the younger children of
Earls and Viscounts, and by, all the children
of Barons. It is a vulgar error that British
members of Parliament are addressed as
"honorable." Swim O'llarsx refused
to < join his brother and sisters in a peti
tion to the Queen to allow them to use
tbe title c; honorable," as if their father
bad been a Peer, as their brother is. The
reasons which, he assigns for declining are
First, his political antecedents, which forbade
him to ask a favor of the British Sovereign
second, his conviction that an Irish peerage,
(which does not give a seat in the Boise of
Lords,) is a degradation rather than a dignity,
thild, that Muo,notran O'BRIEN, his ancestor,
who rf ceivt d the titles of E4rl of Thomond and
Baron Inehirein from HENRY VIII, in 1543, in
accepting English titles instead of the Royal
honors (in succession from Brian Boroihme,)
which belonged to the family, submitted to a
degradation. Even at the distance of three
centuries Sidra O'BRIEN does not recognize
the act. This gentleman professes the
strongest democratic principles, but shows
himself to be very much of an aristocrat in
first,
practice. His r and second reasons are
sufficient, and his third is simply a sample of
bsurd family pride.
LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WAsemoroti, October 19, .1862.
The speech on Friday evening, of Brigadier
Gentral Prentiss, who, since the battle of
Shiloh, has been a prisoner in the hands of the
rebels in "which be asserted that the traitors
ould never make peace with the United States
Government unless their independence was
recegnized, and that the proclamation of the:
President was right, and would do more to
end the rebellion than all the battles that had
been fought, and his graphic statement of the
- timers he had suffered in his captivity, is
another proof that this war must be fought out
with no view save the reiteration of the
Union, and the authority of the Government
over every portion of our soil. I believe that,
with the exception of the impenitent leaders
of one political organization, this is now
the conviction of the whele body of the
loyal people of the country. It -will
appear, in the course of time, that the
Administration has given a distinct assu
rance to other Governments, that no, terms
will be listened to short of a recognition of the
supremacy of the Constitution of the United
States; and if different propositions come
from foreign Powers, or from the disaffected
bare, they will be sternly and promptly reject
ed. Why, therefore, should we vex ourselves
about an impossible peace ? 'Rhe slaveholders
disdain any settlement that does not leave
them complete masters of the Southern field.
Their reason for sympathy with the hostile po
liticians of the Free States springs wholly from
the expectation that our own divisions will
force the central Government to yield to their
haughty demands. A distinguished European
statesman, not long meta visitor to Washington,
asked a gentleman, who was supposed to speak
by authority, whether he did not think that
anarchy would be created by the continuance
of this war, and whether a peace, by acknow
ledging the Southern Confederacy, was not to
be preferred to anarchy. The answer was,
anarchy would much more certainly follow if
the Government consented to the acknow
ledgment of the independence of tee slave
holding Confederacy, and that, as things then
looked, the question was rapidly resolving
itself into one of exhaustion—the exhaustion
either of tbe North or the South. Although
the latter had displayed un wonted resources ad'
delermieation, it was quite clear that it Was
slow reaching a point which would render its
- ra - cole — OT the thousand witnesses who testify
that the Southern people are in a most pitiable
and melancholy cendition. Ido not put out
of view the spectre of foreign intervention,
which will undoubtedly again loom up as soon
as the short set sion of Congress shall assemble;
but I have every reason to anticipate such a
series of successes before that period as will
give new force to the above-quoted reply to
the query of the European publicist. I look
as well for a complete victory in Virginia as for
a succession of naval triumphs. These, how
ever, to be effective, must be accomplished at an
early day, and then once more the alternative
will be presented to the Southern people and
to other nations, of yielding on the one band
to the Federal authority and of abstaining on
the other from all interference with our grand
design of self-preservation. All the intelli
gent rebel prisoners with whom I have con
versed, or of whom I have heard, lay great
stress;upon the belief that their wishes will be
largely assisted by a certain class of politicians
in the great cities of the Free States; but
when these politicians reflect upon the fierce
resolution of the Southern people not to re
sense their relations with the regular - Govern
ment, they will, I predict, avoid the risk of
offending their own People by'working for a
result which would simply be national degra
dation and ruin. OCCASIONAL.

Professor Corson's Lectures.
OPTtly no man daaervve more at the bends of a com
munity, and, be it recorded to the disgrace of practical.:
engulfed human nature, no man gets less than he who
strives to , raise the standard of literary taste. In a city
like our', whose commercial-and manufacturing in
tetesta are so marked and . so widely extended, a scholar
with a single and high intellectual atm is apt to be
neglected. @clew* easily I:touristic@ ; admitting of prac
tical application, it receives a definite practical valua
tion. But Literature's voice is overswe'pt and drowned,.
except. to those ea whose natural dtlicaey shrinks
from the din and the jar 1,4 o!017 -day life, or thole
which have had a sensitiveness of alioNlt morbid tsoute
nem forced Orion them by the discordantcy tl rtj. bait)
been compelled to bear. When these natures. however,
do find the sounds that satisfy their ingrained or engraft
ed longing, their worship is very enthusiastio.
Of tide ; no better evidence is needed than the brilliant
success wh'cb teat winter gave to Prof. Ooraon'a course
of 6, lon:tures on English Poetry, Literary Art and
Oriticiam," began here almost as &venture, certainly al
an unwonted invitation to the public, end continued,
twice a week, for the remarkable—and, so far as we can
remen.ber, unprecedented—length of 406440,pm weeks.
Prof. Ooreen's wide reading, hie high cc ithetio eta

and—wherever sentimentalism Usurps the place of senti
merit, or ornament seeks to hide the want of thought— .
merciless analytical powers, atteroyered by a genuine
lit, ran catholloity. won the enthusiastic admiration of
all who were fortunate enough to came within the lito
rary circle of Lsypoidee. The class quickly inoreased to
the room.' utmost capacity, and, although so unneccal
a demand of time and attention was made upon it, it
aseeinbled with a regularity and numerousness as coni

We think this notice is due from us as journalists,:

no two parts more dissimilar than them, and yet it is to
three that the will ask to be remecnsered. In Juliet she
bed the advantages of youth and beauty. She might
have played the pert as a pantomime and achieved a
great einem, for more absolutely than any lady upon
the Etas() she seems to possess those attractive personal
(matinee that have made Juliet the type of youthful love
end meted, n. A writer bag ventured the remark that Hess
Bate MOD is too "mature and massive" to assume this part,
becaure her purse speaks of bet as being within e , a
fortnight end odd date" of fourteen. This 15 hyper
criticism. A girl in Italy at fourteen, under the warm
end ripening sun of the Booth, would look as mature as
Mies Bateman. eo far as personal attractions, age,
grace, end beatify gO, we would accept this lady as the
original of abakereeare's conception. The only ob
jection we could canoe ive in her performance was a cer
tain coldness or timidity of manner, which made nee doubt
the reality of the fierce and burning passion which etie
ia arpposed to picture 'Yet it had some exquisite scenes
The meeting with Rsviee. in the first sot, at the ball, so
often neglected as an unneoeseary and euperfluoue scene,
wee, in the hands of Idles Bateman, fad of truth and
animation. The drinking of the narcotic was performed
as wo have never seen it played before, and as we can
scarcely hope to see It played again.
It is at en elocutionist that Mitt Bateman. yarn

the con ore move menta of ber voice affeed to ears wearie4
and disgusted with the vicious mouthing, mumbling,
drawling, and ranting that form nine-tenths and more of.
the vocal performances of the stage. Klee Bateman is a
direct con.tradiction to ever . ) , actress we have beard is
one or all theee particulars. Her voice is naturally full,
round, clear, and deep ; and real scientifie training has
not oily given it excellent compete and flexibility, but
bag thepired it with that fine elocutionary sense that
' avoids a fele* interval as the most horrible vocal sin.
Here lies the chief truth of her voice; whatever moisten
or thought is to be expressed, the appropriate interval
is reedy, sentient any additional flat or sharp to distort
it; and if a ',potence is to bo caned, or a climacteric,
effect wrorgbt, the proper cadence is given without anyi
of the tieffgeration of rent:
Around Lady Macbeth 'hovers the tradition of Mrs.
Biddova' yeti ormaece; and we are too apt to regard it as
eotoetbitig beyond the roach of any actress of tide gene
ration. With all due reseed to the memory of Mrs.
biddone, ard without any desire to unduly estimate the
geeing of oar present players, we still think that wec
have'eetresses upon our modern stage whose genius may

dead. This bum ingot all excellences, virtues, and talent

Lady Macbeth, as a character, gives a wide field to
woman of genius. There are two generally.reoeiv
conceptions of the part, either of which can be supportel
with ingenious evidence and much plausibdtty. Was
Lady Macbeth a demon, or was she simply an ambitiotit
woman, carried away by her husband's newborn greaf•
nets, and driven by ambition into the commieaion if
crimes that were foreign to her nature, but still pommel
ing the sympathies and affection, of Is woman'l I.Te
might burden this column with quotations tend
ing to show that one or the other was Just; bat
there is no object to' be gained, and so we 'int , it
pass. The'Lady Macbeth of Miss Bateman is a pecatier
performance. It pique from one extreme to another. In
the interview with' Macbeth, immediately after the mur
der of DonCen. she is !aerial in'her;self•poesesaloii and
the teadinese with which she upbraids the tremoling,
conscience. stricken Macbeth, and the tacitty with which
she aoggeets nallistions for isle crime. In the banquet
scene, the tenderness with which she appeaaes the terror
of her husband, and the affectionate sollettude with eittioh
she others him off the stage, exhibit a - eweet trait in her .
character as a woman, and almost retrieve the harsh
mpretalon ebe producei in the fleet acts. And then the

Miss Bateman realizes tbis idea of Lady Macbeth,
en d brings rip to the mind alt tbe strange and weird con
ceptions that surround.the character. Here our criti
cism clove. We do not say that she plays the part
baiter than any actress on the stage, but we do
say that she develops . more *beauties, gives a closer and
clearer rendering of Bhaltspeare's meninx, and in all
makes Lady Macbeth more of the woman and the queen,
than any actress that we have seen for along time
,Then
let it be remembered that she is little more than a 'girl;
that ebo le passing .through MI. earliest ears of
womanhood; that she is a stranger to this city . and one
stage, and that many years are before her to study and
improve. With so much promise, and so much talent
now. what may she be hereafter'? Unless the applause
of her audiences betrays her into negligence, vanity, and
self etalciency, she may hope to bold, in time, one of the
highest places on the stage.
