• or stay any cart of the seam or fasten the ends of seams
- Without turning the fabric or stopping the, machine.
6th. It is the most rapid sewer on the world, making
'Eve stitches to each revolution, and there is no other

HEADQUARTERS ATHUT OP THE POTOMAC,
Sept. 1, 1863.
The execution of deserters in this army recently
is having a most salutary effect. Gen. Meade seems
determined to enforce the fullest penalty for crimes
which have hitherto passed unnoticed. Deserters
from the Army of the Potomac now in the North
may save themselves from an ignoMinious death by
delivering themselves over to the nearest rendez
vous for troops, to be returned to their regiments.
Those who require force to bring them back, and
those who re-enter the army as substitutes for
others, may rest assured that they will receive no
mercy.
Captain McMahon, who shot and killed Captain
McManus, of the 71st Regiment Pennsylvania Vo
utiteers, at Falmouth, last spring, has been respited
by the President.
Rebel deserters`are coming to our advance forces
in large numbers. It is estimated that full- two
thousand have been received and forwarded to
Washington since our army left Maryland. There
is a large number now in the guard-house, who will
leave for the capital today.
Brigadier General Harrow, of Indiana, command
ing the 2d division of the 2d Corps, has -so far re
covered as to be able to resume hie command, and
returned yesterday to relieve Brigadier General
Webb, who returns to his brigade in the same divi-
Bien.
The sickness of the army is increasing, owing to a
want of water.
I am requested by medical officers to caution the
people of the North—especially of New York, Phi
ladelphia, and Baltimore—against a woman calling
herself Mrs. Jane R. Munsell, and representing her
self to be the well• known friend of the soldiers, who
lives in Alexandria. The impostress is represented
to be a short, dark-complexioned woman, with black
eyes, and dresses is deep mourning. She recently
visited Philadelphia, where she collected several
thousand dollars' worth of clothing, whish has been
sent to her agents in the army, mostly sutlers, where
it was sold to soldiers at exorbitant prices. Mrs.
Munsell, of Alexandria; is a vastly different woman.
She does not visit the Northern cities to beg, but
devotes her whole time to the troops in the field,
and is well known and respected. _
A woman connected with the Philadelphia Chris
tian Commission, named Mrs. Moore, was arrested
on Thursday last, and sent 10 the Old Capitol prison,
on suspicion of being a rebel spy.
Two hundred members of the 20th New York
Volunteers, under sentence to hard labor during the
war, but recently pardoned by the President, left
this morning for their homes. They last night sere
naded and were addressed by General Patrick, when
they promised to return and re enter the'service as
soon as they had made a short visit home. Their
conduct hae been unexceptionable since they were
sentenced. 1
Brigadier. General Metes has completed his in
spection of the Army of the Poionuic and returned
to Washington.
STUART PREPARING- FOR A MOVE.
Through private information we are satisfied that
the rebel General Stuart has been for some days
past making preparations, in the vicinity of Culpe
per Court House, for an extensive cavalry move
went in some direction as yet unknown to us.
If it be true, as alleged, that Lee has thrown a
considerable portion of his army east of the Rappa
hannock, in the vicinity of Port Conway, that
movement must be but a feintto prevent our caval
ry 'from paying due attention'to the movements of
the force with which Stuart proposes to make his
contemplated raid.— Washington Star, Sept 1.
IMPORTANT RECONNOISSANCE BEYOND
LEESBURG, VA.
WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—[Correspondence of the
N. Y. Tribune.]—Lieutenant Burgess, with thirty of
Colonel Baker's mounted rangers, went on a roma
noisance, yesterday, in searchof the camp of White's
guerillas, which they found just beyond Leesburg,
and fcamped near it last night. This morning the
party were attacked by about 200 rebel cavalry, and
forced to retreat. During the skirmish, Lieutenant
Burgess' horse was shot, but the lieutenant sue,
ceeded in hiding in the bushes, and saw the rebels
ride by in pursuit of his men. He then made his
way to..the Potomac, and crossed at Point of. Rooks.
There he learned that a large number of Imboden's
cavalry had gone down the river.
The whole force of Imboden and White amounted
to 'about 1,000 men. They were deterred from cross- -
ing at Edward's Ferry by the infantry stationed
there. - At Point of Rocks it was rumored that a
force of 6,000 or 6,000 rebels were attempting to cross
below, and several pieces of artillery were sent
down to prevent such an attempt from being suc
cessful. Tonight there are rumors that a large
force of rebel cavalry were at Great Falls, 16 miles
from Washington, probably 'the same body. Our
cavalry have been sent in pursuit, and can hardly
fail to meet the enemy.

Vallandigham's Treason—Chattanooga.
CCorrespondence of the Cincinnati Gazette,)
STEVENSON, Ala.,. August 31.—1 n conversing re
.cently with Union citizens of Alabama and Tennes
see, I learned that Vallandigham, while in this sec
tion, repeatedly exhorted the rebels to hold on to
Vicksburg, declaring that the success of his party in
Ohio depended altogether on the ability of the rebel
Government to bailie the Union armies besieging
that place. I confess I was staggered at first by this
statement of Arallandigham's atrocity. I could not
believe that even his treason was of so dark a cha
racter. I hesitated to make the matter public, and
I should not do so, did I not know that the evidences
of the facts are abundant and indisputable. Loyal
men in both States I have named are ready to testify
to it.
It is by no means certain that the rebels are eva
cuating Chattanooga. The authorities differ widely
on the matter. Some , apparently intelligent citi
zens on the south side of the Tennessee river, with
whom r recently conversed give it as their opinion
that the work of fortifying is going on at Chatta
nooga more actively than ever, and that the rebels
have been recently-largely reinforced. The deci
sive conflict of the campaign may yet take place at
Chattanooga. The weather, which for the past
week has been colder than ever before known in
this region he August, was somewhat warmer to
day.
The Reception to Gen. Grant at Memphis.
A HIGHLY IMPORTANT LETTER PROM THE GENERAL.
At Memphis,- on'the 26th of August, the hero of.
Vicksburg was remixed with great enthusiasm by
its citizens, who gave him a splendid reception-festi
val in the evening. The Memphis Bulletin furnishes
a very interesting report of the toasis and speeches
from which we extract the following :
LETTER PROM' GENERAL GRANT
At- three o'clock A. Pd., the- following letter from
General Grant was read, amid deafening applause :
• • Blicirome, Tenn. August 26,1863.
GENTLEiIIEM ::I have received' a copy of resolu
tions passed by the " loyal citizens of Memphis at a
meeting held at the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce, August 25th, 1863, ,, lendering me a public re
ception.
In accepting this testimonial, which I do at a
great Eaorifice of my personal.feelings, I simply-de
sire to pay a tribute to the first public exhibition in
Memphis of loyalty to- the Government which I
represent in the Department of the Tennessee. I.
should dislike to refuse, for considerations of per
sonal convenience, to aoknowledge, anywhere or
in any form, the existence of, sentiments which.
I have so lon g g, and so ardently desired to
see - manifested in this department. The sta-
Whiy of this Government and the unity of
'this nation depend solely on the cordial - sup-.
port and the earnest loyalty of the people. While,
'therefore, I thank you sincerely for the kind expres
sions you have used , towards myself, I am pro
foundly gratified at this public recognition, in the
city of Memphis, of-the power and authority of the
overnment of the United States. . I thank you,
too, in the name of the noble army which I have the
honor to command. It is composed of men whose
loyalty is proved by their deeds of •heroisim and
- their willing sacrifices of life and health. -
They will rejoice withmo that the miserable adherents
of the rebellion, whom their bayonets have driven from
this fair land, are being.replaced by menieho acknowledge
human liberty as the on/y.lrue foundation of human go
vernmeiit. May your efflarts to restore your city to
the cause of the Union be as successful as have been
theirs to reclaim it from the despotic rule of the
leaders of:the rebellion. '
I.have the honor to•be, gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
U. S. GRANT, Major General.

O.REECH 07 GEN. HURLBUT.
" The Federal: Union—it must and shall be pre-.
staved, ,) ..
Was responded to by General Hurlbut as follow:
I .trust ir.6God, fellow-citizens, that those immor
tal words which have been echoed in your ears may
meet a hearty response. As therois.an axiom upon,
which all things rest, and by which all things are
controlled, so the heart of the American, turns. and
rests always upon. this. Think. of its meaning !•
The Federal - Union is an empire on which the
whole world looYa with reverence. This :Union is
the result of the deeds of men who came to. seek
liberty and fotand it—a .gater libertT than, the
world ha a ever. seen.
We think little of the free air WE breathe, but let
any eppreseion touch our lungs and we murmur;,
and so if our liberty is ignored, we feelthat wehave
lost all that we bold dear. There wasone, many,
many years ago, who samLucifer, in a vision, de-.
sending mom on high, bringing with : him a. third
part cube stars ; so in thaw latter days, the demon
ist Secession strove to tear, away with it park of the
glorious Union. Theta are the. men who. have
brought this ruin upon the country. They have.
brought all this stiffening on the country, and they
are responsible for it. .
But this Federal Ualon restsupon tho consent of
all the people, and raid's' all the people rally to its
support, they are net worthy of a place in it. It
cost a great amount of life to,purchase it, and it will
coat lives to restose and sustain it. - This war is the
most terrible thing the world halt ever seen since the
death of our Saviour; but we are bound to maintain
the Union to the last man and the last dollar. But
it is not goingto take that to do it. -
'these heads of Secession, as they are out off, go
back to thetie rottenness. The army of the Tennes
see has cuttbe rebellion in two • and the echo of the
army.at "Vicksburg answers to the tread of the ho
rdes at port Hudson. The ship startswith her front
down, and cleaves tke waveain twain, and so has
this army of the Tennessee. But the simile is not
a good one. All the ship rides on the waves close
bekand her, but the track of the Army of the Ten
neesee wilt never close.
But I have spoken too long. lam not like my
distinguished commander, who makes too little of
himself, and too much of everybody else. We are
here as the citizens of the United States, and as
such we have the right to be anywhere in the United
States, and by the blessing of God we have the
power to be anywhere we please. [Applause:}
A TRIBUTE , TO THE LATE GEN.-O. T. OMIT%
"Gen. Chades F, pattli—The brave dettg;the
associate hero of Donelson—may his memory live
in our hearts, as it will shine in history."
Responded to by Surgeon Hewitt ae follows :
Many a noble man has fallen in the,present war,
and among the noblest was General 0. F. Smith. I
would I had the power to move you to tears as An
thony of old moved the Romans. The man whose
memory we now. revere was a man of great private
virtue, and a brave soldier. It was my privilege to be
intimately acquainted with the deceased. He was
the military father of Gen. Grant, and it was the
privilege of Gen. Grant to command Gen. Smith.
When he was placed, under the command of one
who was greatly his Sunior, he conducted himself
with becoming dignity, obeying every order and ful
filling every duty like a soldier. He was assailed by
the venom of calumny in all its bitterness. In
this respect be resembled General Grant. General
Smith was ordered by General Grant to lead the
charge on the left at the battle of Shiloh, and those
who saw his blazing figure; as he rode into action,
can never forget it. In that bloody battle he led his
troops into the midst of the bloody field. The
memory of C. F. Smith had more to do with the
successes of the army of the Tennessee than most
men supposed, and in that army his memory still
lives, and will live while a member of it survives).
SPEECH OF GENERAX. GRANT
"General' Grant—Your Grant and my Grant.
Having granted us victories, grant us the restora
tion of the 'Old Flag e grant us supplies, so that
we may grant to our friends the grant to us.'
This was received with deafening cheers and loud
calls for General Grant, who responded in these
words : "'I thank you, gentlemen, for your kindness.
All that will add to your prosperity, that it is in my
power to do, I will grant you."

NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.
THE CAPTURE OP THE SATELLITE AND RELIANCE.
[Trout the Riehmond Examiner, August 26.3
We alluded yesterday to some of the results of the
secret expedition set on foot several days since,
having for its object the destruction of the Yankee
shipping in, the Rappahannock. We learned yester
day that the Navy Department has received a re
port, detailing the facts, and styling the expelition
an entire success. Two steamers were captured at
the mouth of the Rappahannock, one carrying four
32-pounders, and the other two of the same calibre.
Some seventeen Yankees were killed, and a few
prisoners taken.
Considerable shipping' was burned in the river,
and, altogether, Capt. Wood, commanding the expe
dition, has reason to be proud of the success that
has attended it. Oapt. Wood, and his associates in
this daring enterprise, are mostly Marylanders, se
lected for their coolness and courage.
The following is an official confirmation, in part,
of the foregoing facts
C. S. S. " SATELLITE," August 23, 1863.
SIE` I am thankful to report to you the capture,
last night, elf the mouth of the Rappahannock., of
the United States gunboat Satellite, two guns,
forty men; and the Reliance, two guns, forty men.
Lieut. Hodge dangerously' wounded; Midshipman
Cook and three men slightly. Captain Waters, of
the Reliance, dangerously wounded, and some seven
or eight others of the enemy ; one or two killed.

TILE VANDERBILT SIINE—GREAT DESTRUCTION. OF
The despatch announcing that the Federal steamer
Vanderbilt had been sunk by the Confederate steamer
G eorgia, Captain Semmes, has been confirmed by 'a
passenger who recently arrived at a Confederate
port from Havana. It seems that the Vanderbilt
chased the Georgia for some hours, and, upon near
ing, haileuler. with a demand to surrender, which
was answered by a broadside from the Georgia,
which disabled and finally sunk the Union steamer.
Her crew, consisting_ of about 500 men, were all
drowned except 30.
. _
One thing only was wanting to make this victory
a complete success. The notorious Commodore
Wilkes was not on board the Vanderbilt when she
sunk, be having!been_ removed from the command
some time previous; and consequently was • not
drowned. The Vanderbilt was the fastest and moat
dangerous vessel of her description in the Union
navy.--Tallahasse Floridian; 22d.
Northern accounts state that the Vanderbilt left
Pernambuco on the 7th, in pursuit of the Georgia.
This fact tends to confirm the accounts already re
ceived of the destruction of the Vanderbilt, and there
need be longer any doubt, we think, that she has
gone to the bottom.—Richmond Enquirer.

[From the Eichmond Enquirer. Aug. FIJ
Pretty things have "gone up the spout," in Rich
mond, and the higher walks of civilization, fringed
with those beautiful notions which adorn the social
system; and are styled metaphdrically the dowers of
art, are very extensively deserted. Even the con

palatial sugar cakes in their windows, nor do their
worthy prototypes in, plaster astonish and amuse
the eye with life-like statuettes of monkeys,psrrots,

The supremest order of 'intellectual amusement
reigning, in Richmond, is the study of the " tiger,"
at a dollar a "chip," or the recreation of the fancy
in two-dollar juleps or one,dollar "straights." Bar

NEGROES FROM THE 'NORTH
[Prom the Richmond Enquirer, August 18.
The "land of milk and honey," Pennsylvania, so
described in certain Confederate' army correspond
ence, has liberally poured into the bosom of Old
Virginny, through the agency of General Stuart,
about a hundred negroes, men, women, and children
—mostly "emigrants" originally from the South.
They arrived here and were sent to Castle Thunder
on yesterday. Some twenty are " native and to the
manor born," in the Dutch Dixie. Among them
was a prim and haughty claret.colored dame, who,
upon being asked her name, replied with magnifi
cent affectation a "My name is Mrs. Ellen Darks,
from Pennsylvania ; my maiden name was Miss
Station. I suppose I may term myself a widow
now, as my husband was not captured, and remains
in Pennsylvania." (A smile, intended to be be
witchingly ambiguous.) Her style created consi
derable sensation, as smatter of course, and Mts.
Ellen Darks, nee Miss ..Ellen Stratton, was accor
dingly distinguished_by unusual attentions from the
officials -of the establishment, who are prone to
poking fun.

arena the Knoxville Resister.
It is a singular fact, that Confederate bonds are
worth more in England than at home. Here Con
federate money is almost constantly depreciating.
This is not owing to any doubt upon the part of our
people as 'to the final triumph of our cause, but be
cause it answers the ends of speculation and extor
tion to decry our currency. Gold and silver are
made the standard, and.our paper currency com
pared to it very much to its disparagement. This is
all wrong. Specie is not now a currency at ail—
there is none in circulation ; it is an article of trade,
but no- more Et currency-than lands and negroes are.
Hut it answers the purposnofthe extortioner and spe

to make a purchase without being reminded by the
seller of.the great depreciation of our money. From
the man who sells you a horse for six or eight hurt
dred dollats down to the shop-keeper who sells you
an- almanac for twenty.fts cents, all pile on an
enormous price, and, by way of apology, give the

than appears from the article quoted below:

why any intelligent constituency - should put such a

A REBEL ZABER ON ENGLAND
. . . . _
(From the Richmond Whig. •
After exciting, by all its arts, disunion and war in
America, the leading English journal isjeering its
bleeding victims. "We tell these poor, drowning
wretches," says. the Times, " that they have no
chance whatever." And much more of the same
sort, - which we quoted yesterday, exulting in the
idea of America's 'annihilation. But let not the
Times rejoice too soon. Ten, twenty, or even fifty
years of desolating war will got leave a permanent
scar on the face of this young , and vigorous conti
nent. In five years after peace we shall be refreshed
and powerful as ever, and half a century hence, not
a trace of war will be visible. All will have passed
away, but the remeMbranee of the: part that England has
played in this drama, and the legacy of retribution which
will be bequeathed to our posterity.
The following motto for the Vallandigham Demo
crats expresses their position exactly " Freedom of
speech for treason and rebellion,• but no freedom of
speech against slavery."
Copperheadism is thus defined by a ootemporary:

MILITARY' MISMANAGEMENT OF THE REBELS
I do not propose, in this letter, to enter into detail
upon the subject of the important operations along
the Mississippi river and in the West. It will be
sufficient, for the present, to say that, he the fault
where it may, therm has been grievous mismanagement
in the conduct Mere of Confederate affairs. There
have been in the department over which General
j - ohnNfoir exercises a control, which he maintains to
be only nominal, but which the War Department
believes -to have been actual—a depnrtment which
extends from Mobile to Memphis—not-less, as- I
am informed, than one hundred and twenty-five
thousand men. It is not now necessary to recapitu
late how the effective action orthis large body of
men- has been negatived by breaking them up into
four or five comparatively insignificant bodies.
Assuming that General Johnston found himself
unable to relieve Vicksburg, it is hard to un
derstand why some other move, such as a junction
with Bragg, and an advance into Kentucky, or a
descent upon the army of General Banks and the
relief of Port Hudson, might not have been success
fully undertaken. But at a moment when, in this
city, feeling runs high upon this subject, is safer
to await fuller information and a calmer state of
feeling before any attempt to assign praise or blame
is prematurely undertaken. The hopeful feature in
regard to the West is that the Government seems
very well aware that there has been a great want of
management and of harmonious action among the gene
rals engaged in Western operations, and is earnestly
bent upon introducing an improvement. In addition
to the men under Gen. Johnston's command, there
are across the. Mississippi some forty or fifty thou
sand men under General Kirby Smith, an admirable
officer ; and it is , believed that, south of the Mis
souri line, Gen. Smith holds the whole country,
with the exception of Helena, in Arkansas. All
the pround which was gained in Western Louisiana
by General Banks during last winter has again
slipped from the Federal grasp, to be retaken, possi
bly, during the coming winter, and to revert again
next summer to the possession of the crocodiles and
the Confederates. The task of the Danaidm or of
-Sisyphus was light and feasible compared with the
work in which the Federals are engaged, so long as
the heart and mind of men, women, and children
along more than a thousand miles of the Mississip
pi remain what they now are.
THE RE - VOLUTION IN MADAGASCAR
[From the London Patriot, August 17.
We have letters from Tantanarivo to the 6th of
June. The Mauritius journals profess to have re
ceived news from the island of a fortnight's later
date, but their information is not very reliable.
The accounts which the missionaries have given
of the causes and events of the revolution are con
firmed in every particular, and within a few days of
the proclamation of the new sovereign affairs had
resumed their former quietude. A report that the
. King was not dead, but had escaped from those who
attempted to strangle him, kept up an uneasiness
among the people for some days, but this gradually
died away, and all the novas now appear to have
quietly acquiesced in the new order of things. The
report of an attempted insurrection at:the capital,
orrthe 4th of June, appears to be wholly unfounded,
and the story in a Marseilles paper of the assassina
tion of the minister who signed the treaty with
France is a ridiculous canard: The minister alluded
to died a natural death several months ago. The
Cape papers talk about "the dissatisfaction of the
people having been brought to a climax" by Mr.
Ellis having preached at Ambohimanga, the place
where (een Ranavola 'was buried ; but this tale
is probably suggested by the reservation in the new
'-laws of Ambohimanga, as a place where Christian
worship would not be allowed. There has been no
disturbance there; and we are confident that this
story, like the others, will prove to be without any
foundation.
Some doubts are entertained—and very reasona
bly entertained—as to the course the new govern
ment may take with regard to the cessions to M.
Lambert; but the Queen is certainly desirous of
maintaining the most friendly relations both with
Prance and England. The French steamer carry-
Jug M. Lambert back to Madagascar, with the ori
ginal treaty now ratified by the Emperor Napoleon,
and a scientific mission who were to help him in his
intended mining operations, reached Port Louis on
the 30th of June, and there Lambert first, heard of
the revolution. He proceeded at once to Reunion,
but what steps he - would afterwards take are only
matters of conjecture. The Governor of Reunion
had already. despatched a French ship-of-war to Ta
matave, but two of her Majesty's steamers had pro
bably reached that port about the same time ; and
we now also learn that an English man-of-war had
been sent there from the Cape. The French armed
transport Licorne arrived at Tamatave on the 4th
of June. There does not appear to have been any
reason why our consul, Mr. Pakenham, should have
left the capital at all, but we learn that he had done
so, and that he had come down to Tamatave on the
9th of June, intending to await instructions from
home , as "to the recognition or non-recognition of
the new government."
THE KING OF DAHOMEY
. The following letter has been received by the
Duke of WellingtOn from the celebrated lion hunter,
M. Jules Gerard
Idoszsiann. LB Duc : Your Grace is ,well aware
that few men gain by being seen close, unless they
are men of intellect and merit. The King of Da
homey, despite his cognomen, which signifies the
"Eternal," or the "Infinite," fully justifies that
rule, to which he is no exception. Physically he is
similar to the other black s of his country—tall, well
built, a head like a bulldog. The most usual ex
pression of his countenance is that of cunning and
cruelty. Ms moral qualities are in perfect keeping
with his physical conformation ; he is more gracious
than the kings who have preceeded him, fanatical
for old traditions and customs. The traditions of
that microscopic court are to turn the whites to the
best possible account (exploder les blones), but espe
cially to induce them to make presents. It is the
custom to excite the people with sanguinary spec
tacles, so as to be able to carry off the neighboring
population when a slavedealer makes an offer to
the King, and also at the annual custom of human
sacrifices.
I have jupt spent two days at Kane, where the
King was staying for the celebration of the lesser
ceremonies. On the day of my presentation I was
conducted across the marketplace, where twelve
corpses were exposed to view on separate sites. Six
were hung up by the feet, the six others were up
right, like memabout to walk. Those whom I saw
close were horribly mutilated and not beheaded. An
enormous pool of blood covered the ground beneath
the scaffold, giving unmistakable evidence of prvvi
ousSacrifices and of thetortures which accompanied
them. Our reception by the Kingliwas brilliant,
very cordial for myself as well as for the French
consul ; but we were soon able to convince ourselves
that this was but a comedy always performed by
this poor paladin to get the presents brought by the
whites. Born and brought up in the midst of these
spectacles,
which would be ridiculous if they
were not horrible, the present king is ac
tually more fond - of them than his. subjects. I
saw him on that day admiring, with the de
light of a child, the grotesque dances and ridiculous
pantomime of his Ministers, and then-of the princes,
and then, of all present, for our amusement. A.
most infernal music, which .nearly deafened us, de
lighted the King, who seemed to be in a state of
ecstasy; and this, M. le Due, lasted for six , hours.
On the following day his Majesty invited us to wit
ness a procession of the King's riches. On mulling
the square of the palace (reed huts)• an apeetll.3le
surprise had been prepared for us. The entrance
gate was flooded by a pool of blood two yards in
width, and on each side a column of recently-decapi
tated heads formed two immense chaplets. It is
true that on this day the King wore the emblem of
Christ on his breast. It must be presumed that
it was the cross of execution that-he meant to imply
by this ornament. Ae regards the procession of his
wealth, it consisted of a few old carriages, bath
chairs carried by men with figures like Polichinello.
Onethousand women carrierleach a bottle of liquor
on her head, a brash basin in the shape- of a foot
bath to receive the bkiod of the human victims on
the day of the King's banquet • an image of the
Virgin ; various baskets full ofhuman skulls ; an
image of St. Lawrence, as large as life, carried by
blacks ; finally, the drum of death.
At another festival the King commanded on foot
his Amazons, who manoeuvred with the precision of
a flock of sheep. On the market place already men
tioned each step was ornamented by a dead body,
and the King came and went in the midst of pools
of blood and fragments of human flesh•in a state of,
putrefaction. On this occasion he had daubed his
face with coal. The ceremony terminated by a mad
dance, in which the King took part, dancing vis.a-vis
to drunken soldiers and musicians. Such are, M.
le Due, the man, the Government, and the people
whom we have hitherto hoped to turn into a path
less contrary to the laws of humanity. I regret
that Captain Burton should have arrived at Kana
just at the moment of the King's' departure, - as he
might have e been enabled to see and judge of all
theee things.
I am, M. leDuo, your most obedient servant,
JULES GEE A.RD.
_
P. S.—On the day of his departure the King in
vited us to a review of his army prepared for war.
It was from twelve Thousand to fourteen thousand
strong, comprising twelve thousand Amazons, one
thousand men of the bodyguard, and two thousand
archers. ,

I have organized at Mexico the municipal autho

organization can only be definitely accomplished
atter the establishment of, a- regular Government,
and the pacification of tha country. -
Even since my arrival in Mexicol have received
incessant'complaints of the depredatiohs and crimes
committed by one Buffoon, who bears the title of
general. This man has done nothing during his
whole life but change from party to party, that he
might always have opportunities for pillage. As it

alarmed the populations, I caused Buitron to be ar

detachment commanded by General Guttierex, who
will establish himself at Apan. The troops of Gen.

of General Marquez guard the embankments of
Guanhtitlan and Zumpango. Gelonel Aymard, of
the 62d, is in position at Bulimia. General Melia,
who has great influence in Queretaro, is going to
that town with a sufficient force. Another column
will soon go take possession, of Toluca. Lastly,

AUSTRIAN OBJECTIONS TO TYISC MEXICAN THRONE.
(From the Vieona Press, August 11.
News Is current throughout the city to-day that
Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian is upon the point
Of accepting the imperial crown offered to htm by
Mexico. We have recently pointed out what ap
pears to us the danger of this political plan, and we
need therefore hardly repeat how greatly one should
regret the confirmation of this intelligence. To
those persons who come before us with an affecta
tion of loyally and declare the press has no right to
interfere in the matter—that it is a purely private
concern of the Archduke, and that we have no busi
ness to attempt to restrict his personal freedom—we
reply that they don't know what they are talking
about. Independently of the fact that we have not
the presumption to suppose our disapproval will
prevent the Archduke from accepting the crown if
he feels inclined, we are yet= unmistakably of opi
nion that the personal interest of the Archduke is
not alone concerned in his taking his seat upon the
Mexican throne. We should have to recollect, un
der any circumstances, that the ruler of Mexico was
the brother of the Emperor of Austria. Any mis
fortune that might overtake him would be a misfor
tune for the imperial family; insult to the Emperor
of Mexico would be insult to Austria.
We believe that too little is as yet known of the
reel foundation upon which this Mexican throne is
to be erected, or there could not possibly be any idea
of its occupation by an Autrian archduke. Even at
the Tuileries it has not been definitely decided
whether to recognize the Mexican Assembly of No
taDles drummed together by Forey, as competent, or
whether to ratify their decision by an appeal to uni
versal suffrage. The latter course is "the most pro-
bable, so that the future possessor of the Mexican
throne may feel the leaden weight of French protec
tive rule as long as possible. Nobody will convince
us that a real election, an honest meant nomination
of a ruler, agreeable to the chief parties in the land,
is intended. The scum which has hurried to salute
the French standards since the occupation of Vera
Cruz does not even represent a majority of the Mexi
can population, far lees its active and living ele
ments. Its utterance cannot, therefore, be regarded
as the view and expression of will of the influential
citizens of the fifteen States.
We have often stated that Almonte and his tail—
the generals and bishops expelled by Juarez—belong
to the ultramontane party of an old conservative
minority ; that they and their followers are power
less and destitute of the prospect of a productive
political future. They are not only incapable of
forming the support of a new throne, because they
acknowledge High Church principles and refer with
pride and insolence to their blue Castilian blood,
not only because they profess ideas which we in
kurope are accustomed to style retrograde—for more
fanatical elements have established new empires ;
mote than one royal throne in the Pyrenean penin
sula, more than one princedom in the Levant, have
been set up by the outcasts of the Crusadei—but
their incapacity is due to the fact that they are
foreign in blood and civilization to the great
mass of the inhabitants oL,, the country. Al
monte and Company, the aristocratic ruins of
the party of Santa Anna, the allies of the French
invading army, are the last remnant of the pure
blooded Creoles of European descent, who, after forty
years of an embittered conflict of races with the
natives of the country, with the highly-civilized de
scendants of the ancient peoples subdued by the
swords of the - Conquestadors, have finally been
obliged to call upon a stranger for protection and
for help. * * * * They have received this help,
and now—although a fast disappearing small mino
rity, not amounting to a sixteenth part of the popu
lation of the country, although, in right of their
blue blood, certainly entitled to style themselves
notablea—they arrogate the, right of handing over
Mexico to a regent. So long as foreign soldiers
cross the seas, and, as in the Spanish time, support
the mastery of these creoles, they may maintain
themselves and the man of their choice, but not an
hour beyond. Were the question really one of prin
ciples; were a greater or leas portion of freedom at
stake:compromise might be possible, and final re
conciliation not unlikely. But the lordship of a
foreign prince will never strike firm root into this
elementary struggle of two separate races. He
would never be forgiven for belonging to the eons of
the pale faces who destroyed tbe temples and palaces
of Montezuma, and have rendered desolate the
towns and Republic of Anachuac.
THE POLISH REVOLUTION
Count Plater has addressed a letter, dated Zurich,
August 14. to the editor of the Augsburg Allgemeine
Z,eitung, of which the following is an extract :
Be says that an isolated molestation has no value,
and exercises no influence on public opinion when
public feeling is unanimous. The protest of a Pole,
published by the PresBe, of. Paris, against the nomi
nation of - Prince Ladislas Czartoryski, who has
been appointed diplomatic agent at London and
Paris by the National Government, is a case in
point. All that ought to be seen in this appoint
ment is a fresh proof of the influence and wisdom of
the Government which has shown how to amalga
mate all parties and make them submit to its di
rection for the benefit of their common country.
Do not seek, he says, in this country, watered with
blood and tears, for any political parties. You will
not find them. They are no longer either democrats
or aristocrats in this unhappy country. invaded, by
barbarians; there is now no trace of party to be
found in the supreme efforts made by a people now
decimated, that prefer death to slavery. * * * *
Seven months of a national struggle, commenced
almost without arms, and under the most unfavora
ble circumstances, against an enemy who recoils
before no act of vandalism, proves to the world the
complete unanimity that distinguishes Polish pa
triotism. It is a fact against which the calumnies
l a e n s d L insinuations of the organs of Russia are power-
The character of the Polish insurrection is so noble
and elevated, that those who direct it will never ap
peal to the exasperation of the passions. Such are
tbe tactics, indeed, of Russia, who is not ashamed to
place herself beyond the pale of civilization, by the
ruin, the spoliation, the bloody executions, and the
system of extermination she has organized. From
these two opposite tendencies of the belligerent par
ties, it results that Europe will find, in the triumph
of Poland, the most efficient guarantee against the
danger to which she is exposed by the neighborhood
of a Power in reality Asiatic 'and barbarian, with
wild and savage instincts, and which, in the middle
of the nineteenth century, tramples with impunity
under foot all the rights of humanity and justice.
- LADISL AS, Count Plater.
THE NORTHERN ARMY.
ly the rew Special Correspondent of The Times l
The mere mannschaji t as the Germans have it—the
thews and sinews, the mien and bearing of the great
bulk of the Northern army—are all that the heart
of its leaders could wish. There are no very high
statures, no very bulky frames among them. They
are most of them men of middle size, narrow shoul
dered, stooping and• shambling in many instances.
They look worn and sullen, but they bear every
mark of stern endurance and dogged resolution.
They have no spare flesh, no exuberant spirits, no
song, no frolic, but they look like work—up to their
business, whioh is to toil, to die.
A gentleman who has had much to do with the
management of these troops complains of them as
thinking bayonets." The Northern soldier," he
said, " would rather go without his breakfast than
without his newspaper. He discusses the plan of
the campaign with his officer, and sits in judgment
on his general's tactics." To this carping criticism
of the rank and file, to this want blood confidence
in their leaders, the gentleman in question ascribed
the slow success and the frequent reverses of the
Northern arms, and he contrasted it with the spirit
of the Confederate soldiers—uneducated men, as he
described them—who look up to their commanding
officers as a demigod, who receive orders, ask no
questions, and allow themselVes no remarks,-
With all this disadvantage of not unwilling but
unsteady discipline, I have ° every day greater cause
to wonder at the transcendent confidence of the ma
jority of those Northern men in the ultimate suc
cess of their cause. The earnest steadiness with
which they pursue their purpose is only commen
surate with their recklessness as to the means
which must lead to its attainment.. Not only do
they " not care," but they positively delight in the
vastness- of, the sacrifice their country demands of
them. They seem less eager for victory than for the
fearful amount of blood and treasure by which they
are to achieve it. "Are they sure to take Charles
ton I"'you ask. "Aye, sure as death. The coat will
be tremendous ; but who would wish to havnit at a
cheap rate?" Hang the expense O'is-the motto, It
is not GP the result of their mighty effbrtthat they
are proud, but of the capabilities and resources of
their country in putting forth such colossal power.
The big war, they are r anxious to prove, bears
full proportions with the bigness of the Republic.
_Every man seems to swell.before-youonkhe dwells
on the gigantic strength the State brings into the•
field. The navy has raised the number of men-of
war—which were only sixt3r. at the outbreak of hos
tilities—to six• hundred. What today cost mil

of millions. A steam-frigate founders, a regiment
is out to pieces, an ironclad Is sunk. by the enemy.
Hurrah !' All the greater their joy. Here they are,.
ready with four new regiments, with four more
steam-frigates, with ten additionalirom clads. Fail
ure braces them up even more than success would
elate them. All they are. anxious toi show is the
boundlessness and the inexhaustibleness of their.
means.
There is no loss they cannot repair, no , wnate, no ,
extravagance they cannot afford. Of this the
world must be well assured. It is.-in this extent,.
in this expansiveness of - their means, =that lies the
cert aint7 of their progress to the end. They want
to make much of it, doubtless ;. they brag an intole
rable deal- about it, we are all sure, It is in this
lavish, wanton display of unlimited power that
they lay their hope ofits-irresistibleness. -It is by it
that they aspire to strikedismay and despair into-the
hearts of their present foe—that they trust to. over.
awe - their eventual enemy. How can the South,
how can Europe, have a chance to stand r against this
unwary giant?, Let the struggle be prolonged for
ever so many years ;; let the fortune of war be ever
so fickle, mid success alternate ever so blindl3r,
America cannot fail to wear out all antagonism.
Such is the burden of the song that is daily dinned
In my earn, whenever I mix in conversation with
persons about me. The present war can,l am every
where assured, have but one issue. The South must
give in, must surrender at discretion. Union must
be restored, Secession must lead to a thorough and
speedy extinction of slavery. WhateVer havoc and
confusion emancipation may lead to will be of no
moment in the great work of national regeneration,
in the cot solemness of power, in the display of
strength to which this struggle hes given rise.
America can never be sufficiently thankful for the
golden opportunity this war has given her, no lean
than the world at large, of setting a proper value eta
her unsuspected energies, on her laient vitality.

POLITICAL.
Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson declines to be a can
didate for re•election to the office of Attorney Gene
ral of New York, on account of dointatio'considera
time. In his letter making.the announcement he
submits the following striking observations :
.The rebellion has received its death-blow. It
has now little power for mischief, save - in its spas
modic struggles as it gasps out its ignoble existence.
It may, by galvanic applications from its friends in
the loyal States, once or twice rise to its feet and
stagger on a little farther, but this will rather hasten
than postpone the hour of its final dissolution.. As
it passes away, and the law is preparing its halters
and dungeons and banishment for conspiring,leaders,
let us pray for the forgiveness of the deluded-masses
who have been cheated or driven into this whole
sale-murder to minister to the unholy ambition of
some of the most fiendish monsters who have ever
desecrated earth. -As for the moleseyed politicians
among us, whose poverty of intellect has not en
abled them to comprehend the magnitude of the
crisis, when they shall cease to encourage the mur
derers of our sons and brothers, let ua endure their
exhibitions of depravity and the ebullitions of their
spite 'without a murmur, and in sheer pity measure
out to them, as an antidote to their ineffectual virus,
that scorn which is made moat emphatic by expres
sive silence."
The braegart Keitt, in a public speech izelivered
by him at Columbia, at the commencement of the
Secession movement, said : " South Carolina, single
and alone, is bound to go out of this accursed
'Union ; I will take her out if but three men go with
me, and if slaves take her back it will be her grave
yard." Thousands who were at that time slaves are
now engaged in subjugating the wayward Palmetto
sister, but it is doubtful whether all the chivalry
will desire to immolate themselves upon Union
bayonets, - and thus secure immediate burial. At
any rate, we do not hear that Mr. Keitt or any of
his valiant associates in the war of words which
prceeded the rebellion, are now in arms, even the
pugnacious Prior having ingloriously withdrawn
from the rebel forces.
Men of all parties have reason to thank Go
vernor Curtin for what he has done for the nation
and the State. He has increased the revenues of the
State withont adding to the taxes, and has proposed
to the Legislature a plan which will greatly relieve
tax•payers of their burdens. He has earned the
gratitude of the army and all who care for its wel
fare, by his care for our sick and wounded soldiers ;
and for the country and the cause he has labored
with noble ardor. G-overpor Curtin's support of the
'Government has been that of an unselfish and loyal
man, whose heart is with his country and who de
votes his life to its service.
Silas Wright, who was one of thehest and the
purest Democrats of his time, once said: "If among
us there be any who are prepared, for any earthly
object, to dismember our Confederacy, and destroy
that Constitution which binds -us together, let the
fate of an Arnold be theirs, and let the detestation and
scorn of every American be their constant com
panions, until, like him, they shall abandon a coun
try whose rich blessings they are no longer worthy
to enjoy." Is not this tientiment worthy of a place
in the series of resolutions now being concocted by
the Democrats of Massachusetts, for adoption at
their approaching Convention 7
Jeff Davis, just before he left the United States
Senate, sneeringly rebuked a Democratic Senator
for having "spoken of the great value of the Union,
as measured by the amount of time, and money, and
'blood which were spent to form the Union. It cost,'
Mr. Davis went on to say;" very little time, very little
money, and no blood." Probably, ere this, the would
be dictator has discovered that the people place a
higher estimate on the Union than he did, and that
he cannot destroy it, although he has caused the
expenditure of much time, much money, and much
blood.
Among the Union candidates for Congress in
Western Virginia is lion. George W. Summers. The
ability of Mr. Summers is universally conceded,
but some of the Union papers distrust eman who.
remained neutral until the Union side proved the .
strongest
immense meeting of War Democrats, op..
posed to Vallandigham, met in Cincinnati last
Thursday evening, and it is reported that more than
half of those present were Irishmen.

General Robert Toombs—formerly TI S.. Senator
Toombs of Georgia—by a female slave. His pater

England and Italy are much excited•just now
by the sudden removal from the head of the mission
at Turin of Sir James Hudson, who has-been minis

and the English. Sir James was-the personal friend
of Caverns, he understands perfectly, the Italian
habitsyhe was devoted to Italian unity, and was, ac-
cording to the general voice of Englishmen, more
capable to guard and advance British interests and
counteract French influence in Italy than. any other
man. He is succeeded by Mr. Elliott, who. is a
son of Lord Minto, and a brother-inlaW of Lord

The New York Trifrunsays :Mr. S. S. Cox, in
his Copperhead peregrinations-through Ohio/ has a ,
habit of quoting a very spirited lyric evoked by the
desecration of our national flag to the base uses of
the elave hunters, beginning ; "All hail the flaunting
lie !"- and stating that theywere 'written by Horace.
G-reeley The said Greeley would gladly be ableto
write so good a lyric as that; but never was—verse
writing being an achievement for which he has a
very indifferent aptithde. The excellent stanzas,
which Mr. Cox falsely attributes to him, were-writ
ten by a young Irish Democrat of this city, then and
now a member of the Tammany Society, ands most
ardent, effective co-worker.with Cox in the support
for the Presidency of Buchanan, in , 56i and. of
