SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1863.
THE NEWS.
Tux facts of the great battle at Chickamauga have
begun to t.lce certain shape, and we realize that the
Army of the Cumbcrlaud, in flp stubborn battle, un•
doubtedly against numbers much superior, and, in
many respects, against the Confederacy itself, suf
fered a brave defeat. It seems confirmed .that we
have lost 60 One, and large quantities; Of tra,eapor-
Cation and baggage. Our killed will not fall short
of 1,700, and the wouerbd 8000. Officers, however,
regard the battle as a substantial failure for tun one
: mys who were foiled in the attempt to disperse and de
%stroy our army,the one object of the great force heeded
'against our lines. This opinion appears to dud cor
toberation Ina number mf. editorials from the Rich
mond press, which virtually regarded the victory.'
indecisive, and the situation unchanged, while
Rosecrans still confront. his foe, and holds
. Tennessee, whore agricultural and mineral sup
plies are indispensable to the Confederacy. We
have a very significant despatch than. the Go•
vernment has seized eighty steamers above and
below Cairo, fon the transportation of troops, and
correspondence, dated over a , week ago, reported
McPherson's corps, of. General Grant's army, on
the march to join Roseorans. General Burnside
holds all ti:e railroads of East Tennessee, by which
Bragg was formerly reinforced ; it is supposed that
considerable time must have transpired before he
could be reinforced from Richmond by another and
far longer route. The return of the Ricliptond
troops is possibly in danger of being cut off by raids
upon the railroads of North and -South Carolina.
The story is reiterated in the Richmond press, that
Jefferson Davis declared that he would recover East
Tennessee, if the task required all the armies of the
Confederacy. Our laiest new. is the report that
General Rosecrona has been reinforced by General
Burnside. Rebel rumors that Burnside , a_ force was
captured were current in Louisville but are, un•
doubtedly, Wee.
Art annivAr. from Bermuda reports that, in the
late ere from Fort Moultrie, the notorious Pirate
Sumpter was sunk by the guns of the fort. Out of
six lmedred, twenty lives were lost.
A WARIIINOTOI7 despatch notices the capture of a
number of rebel prisoners by our cavalry seven
ranee from Gordonsville.
Failure anti Triumph.
In regretting the failure of the Army of
the Cumberland, we must not forget its
triumph, for , that which it has achieved is
so great that repulse upon repulse should
not change exultation into despondency.
To undervalue the failure of the advance
into Georgia would be unwise ; it is by re
cognizing it as a decided and unwelcome
failure that the misfortune can be best retriev
ed; but it should be remembered that it seems
greater than it is, by contrast with the
splendid and uninterrupted success that pre
ceded it, and which naturally led the
country to expect a certain victory. Un
doubtedly, General liosEeniots attempted
a grand movement, and, had his attempt
succeeded, the conspirators at Richmond
might have hopelessly surrendered their
cause, for chance there would have been
none, that a Southern Confederacy could
be established, or even that Richmond could
have been defended. It is also beyond doubt
that to thwart this movement all the energy
and resources of the rebellion were despe
rately used. The South exhausted itself in
creating the great army with which Bft.teK4
successfully opposed the onward march of
the Union, and has for a time baffled the
Federal strategy. The temporary advan
tage to the rebellion is precisely that of a.
reprieve to a condemned criminal; by a
tremendous effort, and with alarming sacri
fice, it is saved from immediate destruction.
Yet, with all its desperation and power, it
has simply repulsed its enemy, without
shaking his purpose, or weakening his
strength. When Gem RosF.cn.A.xs again
advances, no army will say " thus far shalt
thou go, and no farther."
In the complete, and, we feel assured, the
permanent recovery of the whole of. Tennes
see, a success is ours which it would be hard
to overvalue, and which eclipses the repulse
which followed it. It is better understood by
the enemy than it is at the North. The
rebels well know what they have lost, and
painfully have confessed it. The Rich
mond Dispatch declares• the loss of East
Tennessee "is the hardest blow that has
been struck us since the beginning of the
war." IL asserts that it gives the armies of
the United States "easyaccess to Virginia,
North. Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama,"
and a glance at the map will show how from
Chattanooga these four States are threatened
and Comma.mied. Of the territory east of
the Mississippi river originally claimed by
the Confederacy, Chattanooga is the central
point It. is a position which, well fortified
and garrisoned, is almost impregnable, and
General RosEenArs has declared that he
cannot thence be driven, and expressd the
useless wish that Enico would venture an
attack - upon this stronghold. East Ten
, nessee is, therefore, unless from some'
utterly improbable misfortune to our arms,
irrecoverably lost to the rebellion ; and, as
General BRAGG, with an army vastly supe
rior to our own, failed to make the
slightest impression on the position,
and dared not pursue - RosEonixs to
the border line of Tennessee, it is unlikely
that any further attempt to regain it will be
made. Yet, we have the authority of a
leading Southern journal for believing that
"President DAVIS was heard to exclaim in
a circle of friends at the Capitol, that he
would snatchh s Tennessee from the clutches
of the Abolitionists if it took the united
armies of the South to accomplish it." At
the battle of. Chickamauga the attempt to
snatch Tennessee was made, and if not by
the united armies of the South, at least by,
an army reinforced by troops from all the
other armies, which, to strengthen BRAGG,
were temporarily weake - ned to the last de
gree consistent with their safety. The at
tempt signally failed. Four days have
passed since BOS.ECRANS fell back to Chat
tanooga, and, concentrated there, bade de
fiance to his foe ; yet the foe has not yet
dared to approach him, and must remain
satisfied with the glory of a negative SIMMS'S.
At the first blow, then, ROSECRANS failed
to recover Georgia. But, at, one blow he
recovered Tennessee, whence he perpetually
threatens Georgia, and can at any moment
advance. This is our failure, and this our.
triumph. Make of the one as great 'a mis
fortune as you will, you cannot lessen
transcendent superiority of the other.
A Higher Bid for Office.
Mr. Justice WOODWARD has beconak
speedy convert to the necessity of the Iv'
lifter four months' silence he has writ
a letter, and by the words of this letter p:
poses to convince the people of the St
that he is as warm a friend of the Union
ANDREW G. _CURTIN. We certainly
mire the courage of the office-seeking jun
and only regret That while he was about
he did not maize the business more c
plete. Mr. Justice WOODW,ARD may
U 8 that he is in favor of " suppressing the
bellion." We take the assurance for 'v
(itis worth, and only ask to be satisfied
his sincerity. An eleventh-hour repentar
is as acceptable as a life -of righteoi
ness, but the repentance of Mr. Jus
WOODWARD looks - to so much gain, and we
are bound to regard it as a very suspicious
proceeding. Re sees the great revulsion in
popular sentiment, which is passing over
the State like prairie-fire, and now flies
like one who seeks for safety. The very - fact
-that, in the closing days of this September
inonth, this man, before the people for an
'office since June, should be compelled to
ivako >such an avowal, is itself cause for
grave doubt. He might have done so in
other days. In the beginning, when an angry
nation arose in defiance before Fort Sumpter,
and drew the sword of freedom ; in the times
of distress, when the heart of a nation was
'weary and sad, and the light of God's coun
tenance seemed to have been turned from
his people ; in the times of victory, when
men rejoiced with eacli. other, Mr. Justice
WOODWARD might have taken occasion to
show by his word or his action what were
-his sentiments. He might have done so.
with far more taste, and without the sus
picion attaching to his action of a desire to
seek popular sympathy by the most trans
parent trick of the demagogue. The peo
ple will, not fOrge,t that, in the very last
words he spoke on the subject of the war,
words spoken without hope of preferment,
Mr. Justice WOODWARD had no such feelings
of anxiety about "suppressing the rebel .
lion." Then he thought that the Northern
people were waging a wanton war upon
brethren " who had done us no harm."
And as to suppressing the rebellion ! his
mind had no such tendency. He thought
=32
" negro slavery an incalculable Messing"
—that slaveholders might defend { it, and
that if South Carolina `was anAious to go
out of the Union she might, 4 l go peacea
bly." These were the, Opinions of the
Justice. 'Has a niwinatypa, for Governor
changed them ?
We have denbted the sincerity of Mr.
Justice WOMDWARD ; let us put it to the test.
He is in favor of " suppressing the rebel
lion.", How will he do it? Does he accept
the plan of FRRNANDO WOOD, and propose
to do so by sending commissioners to Rich-
Mond ? Does he propose an armistice or a
compromise, or a course of action that will
invite the intervention of foreign Powers?
Or is he in favor of letting the States "go
peaceably ?" His words admit of no such
construction. He is in flivor of " suppres
sing the rebellion." This means war—and
Mr. Justice WOODWARD intends that the
people shall understand him as meaning
var. how are we to have war ? By the
war power—the Administration. If we
would suppress the rebellion we should sus
tam the war-power—the Administration.
So that, if this declaration means anything,
it means that Mr. Justice WOODWARD Ms
tains the Administration. It means this, or
it is as plain and bold an attempt at equivo
cation and deception as ever came from the
pen of a public man. Mr. Justice WOOD
WARDsupport the Administration ! Where
are his friends ? WILLIAm B. Reun preach
es treason in Meadville—F. W. Hualms in
trigues to throw Pennsylvania into the Con
fecleracy7-INoßnsonr. talks disloyal twaddle
whenever he can get a hearing—CcvArEn
rants about freemen taking up arms in de
fence of their rights—yet all these men sus
tain Mr. Justice WOOD - CV - ARIL They all de
nounce the Administration and the war
sustain the rebellion and demand peaoe,
This one fact, which we advance as to MRS
tratiOD, ShOWS how sincere this man is in
his declaration. We might repeat others,
but we rest our case with this. If Mr.
Justice Woonwenn is sincere, he can easily
show it. If he is in fay& of suppressing
the rebellion, let him resign his present
nomination, and attend to the duties of the
court. Let hiin leave the society of men
who are traitors and sympathizers with
treason. So long as he remains with his
present associates, we shall denonneehim
as no friend of the war, and as speaking in
sincerely when he speaks such words as
these. This, we think, will be the judg-
ment of the people when they pass upon
him in October.
The North Pennsylvania Railroad.
We give in another column an extract
from an editorial article of the United States'
Balh•oad and Mining Register, which, but
for its length, we should publish entire. It
relates to a matter which, at this time, is
exciting considerable public attention, and
is marked by no small amount of ability;
and, mo bile we cannot endorse some personal
allusions, _ which we think would have been
better omitted, the general tendency and
argument commends itself to us as being
vividly true and correct. Immense sums of
money were invested in the North Penn
sylvania Railroad by our city corporation,
as well as our citizens;'its plan was one of
plausible aspect . ; and large dimensions, in
tended to reach the trade of Northern Penn
sylvania by the way of Easton, and at the
same time to cut a. channel of trade for
Philadelphia across all the routes that
New York might throw out west
wardly, and tap them in succession.
Large results and bright prospects, at the
time of its inauguration, seemed reasonably
to wait upon it. It is a sad disappointment
to our city, and perhaps a stigma upon its
vigilance and enterprise (and a prediction of
the fact would have sounded harshly in the
ears of its projectors), that in 1863 it has
reached no farther by its own track•or its
allied influence than the town of Bethlehem..
Is it too late to remedy this ? We think not.
Thd stock is held, about one-fourth of, it by
our city corporation, and the residue princi
pally by our citizens. The work is theirs,
as are the responsibilities and the gains.
The road has vitality and power to
lift itself up, if aroused to action; and
the stockholders should put forth their
best efforts = for its disentbralment and
extension. The first and most obvious
step, it seems to us, is the construction of
ihe Lehigh and Delaware Gap Road to Eas
ton, under such auspices as will insure a
harmonious co-operation with the North
Pennsylvania, and regain `he valua,ble trade
of that region, which a crippled route to
Philadelphia and a tempting- emo -I,o— aelv
_York -have earned away from us. Once
completed to Easton, the twenty !idles ne
cessary to reach the Delaware, Lackawan
na, and Western would soon follow, with
all its profitable and fruitful results. The
subject is well worthy of more considera
tion than we can give it in this article, but
the extension to Easton is a measure, the
desirableness of which, it seems to us, no
man can fail to see, whether regarded by
itself, or as leading to other results.
Mr. Roebuck.
- This gentleman is as rabid as ever against
the United States. Recently, at a public
dinner, at Sheflield, he dilated on the liberty
that England enjoyed, contra.stin; it with
the state of slavery, which, he said, existed
in France and America. Turning to Sir
CaAnr.ns Woof), a Cabinet minister, who
also was a guest, Mr. ROEBUCK warned him
that the working classes of England would
not much longer tolerate the privations they
endured; which, he emphatically declared,
might be removed by a recognition of, the
Confederate States. It is only fair to acid
that these remarks were received in " solemn
silence." Indeed, Mr. ROEBUCK 'has be
come so unpopular in Sheffield, that his
constituents have determined not to return
him to Parliament, on the next election. A.
local merchant, of moderate views, will be
the popular candidate, and the House of
Commons will probably have to carry on
its business without the personal presence
and aid of Mr. ROEBUCK.

corps on Sunday. The report concludes
"Our losses have been most severe, and can
Fearcely fall short of 1,100 killed and 8,000 wounded.
Col. Barrett tells me oilr loss in artillery will not
fall short of fifty pieces. Our deficiency in trans
portation and baggage/cannot be estimated. Not
withstanding this, the report says, it was a substan

FIGHT OF THE 9.Ora—GA.RFIELD'S. TELE-
IMMO
General Garfield telfgraphs from Rossville on the
evening of the 20th as follows : Thomas has left
Baird's, Brannan's, Reynolds', Wood's, and Palm
er's divisions in good order, and has maintained
almost the exact position occupied in the morning,
except that the right has swung back. Lytle fought
a most terrific battle, and has damaged the enemy
badly. General Granger's troops moved up just in
time, and fought magnificently. The fighting was
far fiercer than any I ever saw before. Our men not
only held their ground, but at many points drove
the enemy splendidly. Longstreet's Virginians
have got their bellies full. Nearly every division
in the field had exhavted their ammunition. Tar
chin charged the reel line and took five hundred
prisoners, became enveloped, swept around behind
their lines, and cut, their way, out in another place,
but abandoned their prisoners. Another brigade
was attacked just at the close of the fight, and, its
ammunition being exhausted, went in with the
bayonet and drove the enemy, taking two hundred
prisoners, and they have them yet. On the whole,
Thomas and Granger have done the enemy fully as
much injury today as they have suffered from him,
They successfully repelled repeated combined at
tacks most fiercely-made by the rebel army, frequent

THE REBELFORCE
The rebel papers now- admit that they sent large
reinforcements, both of men and g,enerale, to Bragg
in Georgia prior to the 'late battle. The Richmond
Dispatch says that "heavy reinforcements , ' wore
sent to Bragg, and a rebel telegram from the battle
field sass that Longstreet and Hill (D. H:) attacked
the Yankees. [This laatmentioned general, it will
be observed, is not the pincer who commands one of
the three corps of the rebel army of Virginia.] The
Marietta (Ga.) Rebel says that Genetal Bragg was
" surrounded by a galaxy of higher military talent,
and backed by a larger army, than he ever before
commanded during his whole military career." It
also gives an exclamation of Jeff Davis, that he
would "snatch Tennessee from the clutches of the
Abolitionists if it took. the united armies of the Smith
to accomplish it We perceive ho mention in any of
the rebel papers of GeneraL.Jc.a-14. 21-s vrag

THE EXPECTED ItEINFORCEIVIENT.
A letter to the Chicago Tribune, dated the 14th,
has the following:
It is rumored that McPherson's corps is within
three days' march of us, and if so, what a grand old
army we shall have here in a short time,with Burn
side on the left, Rosecrans in the ce ntre, and Mc-
Pherson on the right.
A reconnoiFaance from Chattanooga, on the 24th,
discovered the enemy in force in our front. The
;knowledge gained by the reconnoissance is im
portant.
- HOW DID THEY 0-ET THERE'
(Prom the New York Evening Post 3
On Monday last Generals Imngetreet and Hill at-
tacked 'the centre of Roncrans, according to rebel
reports. It is understood that these generals lead
at least a part of their own corps; and it Is an in
teresting question how these troops were carried
from Richmond to the neighborhood of Chatta
nooga
, It is certain that they did not passe through East
Tennessee. How, then, did they reach Bragg 7 If they
were sent to him by railroad they were obliged to,
go ,first limn Richmond tu Branchville, in South
Carolina, and from that point to Dalton, in Georgia.
If they took time'to march a part of the way, then
they may have been sent by rail from Richmond to
Charlotte, in North Carolina, or to Spartanburg, in
South Carolina. In either of these cases the troops
must have marched at least two hundred miles, after
they left the railroad, to reach Bragg ; and the
whole movement could not have been made by the
rebels under fifteen days, if we assume that - they
sent twenty-five thousand men from Lee to Bragg.
In the meantime, it is not imposeible that these
troops may find their return obstructed by the destruc
tion of railroads in North and South Carolina. Gene
ral Burnside appears to have made it his chief ob
ject to destroy very thoroughly as much as he could
reach of the East Tennessee railroad. No doubt
this is a part of the general plan of operationspf
Rosecrans, the whole of which events have not yet
disclosed.
It is reported from Richmond that Mr. Davis has
expressed a determination to beat Rosecrans, and
'lain Tennessee, if it takes all the soldiers in the
mfederacy. This is as much as to say that he will
)andon Richmond rather than sacrifice the nitre,
salt, and the mountain fastnesses of East Ten
'see. It will come to this at last; the rebels can
leave
the cotton States open to the mareltof our
nales ; they must rally every man, if necessary, to
pose Rosecrans. But when they do, who.*Bl

We suppress exultation at the thought of what
remains to be done, and at the possibility of

work complete. Situated as 'Rosecrans is, the

must not only be beaten in battle, but he must be

battle had as well not have been fought. If this
stronghold is not wrenched from him now, it will
hardly be hereafter. If he holds it, be holds a point

He holds n region pestilent with disaffection that

establishments. The possession of that country is of
indispensable necessity to us. It is the prize for
which Bragg is contending. Until he has won it,
we can but rejoice with fear and trembling over
what he has done. Should he win, it will be the .su,
perliest achievement of the war.) ,

party, which returned to headquarters after having
accomplished the ,object of the movement, which
proved to be of considerable importance.
LOUISTILLE 3 Sept. 25.—Scraps of information
from passengers just arrived, lead to the belief that
Gen. Sherman's' corps from Grant's army joined
Gen. Bosecrans on Tuesday or. Wednesday, and
that Burnside's corps has more recently effected a
junction.
Secession reports by the Grapevine telegraph are
prevalent on the street that Burnside'e forces have
been captured, but nothing had passed over the
wires indicating Bush an event, and it is undoubted
ly false.
THE - REBEL PRESS ON. TRW, BATTLE OF CIIICKA,
(from the Richmond Dispatch. Sept.
General Bragg enema to us to have a grand oppot ,
tunity of immortalizing himself, and doing nigual
Eervice to hie - country. He in said to have a force
fully equal. if not superior to that of Rowans, and.
THE PRESS.-P 1111,ADE LPHI A, SATURDAY, SEPT
the operations in which he is engaged, if successful,
will have a more important hearing upon the 'Lamle of
the war than any that have been yet undertaken. If
(ten. Bragg should destroy the army of iloseuratta,
should either disperse it by a great battle or hem it in
and surround it, he will at once liberate reaueseee
sea Kentucky, and thereby add one hundred thou
sand let sh troops to the banners of the Oonfeileraey.
It is true that he Made a bad start, but then it must
be recollected shat the habit of retreating has become
so natural to our generals in that quarter of the One
federacy that they seem to think it the greatest ac•
complisbrnent of an officer to be able to make a
skilful retreat. Gen. Bragg must be conscious that
he hat already sufficiently proved hie skill is making
retreats Let us hope that the lame he has earned
in that line of business is suffident to satisfy him,
and that he now desires to aahlev.e renown of
another description. II he is determined to fight,
we see not what is to prevent him from heating his
adversary, if, as he salrt, he has been largely rein
forced.
The defeat of Roscerans would not only secure
Kentucky and Tennessee, and prevent the enemy
from invading Vii girlie and cutting off the euppty of
salt, but it would be the death-blow to Grant's fu
tore operations. It would give Ile poaseesion of the
Ohio and a certain portion of the Mississippi below
the junction of the two titers, thereby enabling us
to cut oft' his 5- pplles, and compel an abandonment
of the aperailons he has now in contemplation.
The probability is that he would never reach the
'retiree States again except as a captive.
[From the Wavle d Dkolteli, Sept. 2i ]
Thus far General Bragg seems to be completely
victorious. The results are greater than those of
any battle fought by the Duke of Wellington in
Spain, to far as the lose of men inflicted upon the
enemy is concerned, with the single exception Or
Salamanca, and, so for as artillery is concerned,
with the single exception of Vittoria. In no one
battle in the Peninsula, .except Salemanna, did
Wellington ever capture 4,000 prisoners, and in no,
one battle, save Vittoria, did he ever capture as
many as thirty pieces of cannon. What the loss of
the enemy in killed and wounded amounted to, we
have no means of ascertaining i but when we con
sider that Reseerana hed 60,000 men, it is not to be
supposed that -he would have yielded, after two
days , fighting, and left 4,000 men, 80 pieces of artil

continue his retreat to Nashville. It Will; e;

ter experience Of the evils resulting from delay in
ibis War, in which procrastination has always beau
the object of the enemy. We trust and believe,
therefore. that the enemy will be allowed no time
to rest, Every consideratten points to ceatinueC
operations. The enemy evidently does not mean to
advance from Tennessee into Alabama and Georgia
during the present season. Rosecrans , plan is to get
possession of the whole of Tennessee, and render It
impregnable in the first place. Thence, having the
beet possible bare, be will advance next summer
upon Georgia and Alabama. It is to be hoped that
he wilt be disappointed in -these- views. General
Bragg has at least matie,rs good start in the attempt
to disappoint him. Unless, however, he be drivea
back across the river our late victory will have beeit
of no value. -
The Yankees never have beaten and never will
beat our armies in the Held. In every instance in
which they have claimed the victory, their only shoW
of right to do to has been the retreat of our troops
at the very moment when they were preparing lo
retreat themselves. MeOlellan had already com
menced retreating from Sharpsburg, and Meade was
already retreating from Gettysburg., when our geue
ral began to fall back, and this was the sigma.] for
them to sneak back and claim a victory. At Panr
freesbore every officer in Rosecrans , army, except
Beeeerams , himself, was in favor ore retreat. "Wait
a little white" said Remecrans, " and -you will see
the enemy himself retreating." And so it turned
out. In all three of these battles we fairly beat the
enemy, and if we had but known it he would have
retreated, and we have saved the honor of our arms.
[From the Chattanooga Rebel
There is one man in the Army of Tennessee in
whom we, in common with the soldiers of the array,
have an abiding faith. It is Hill, of the Virginia
army. There is something of the "Stonewall" - and
" Old Ifichcay " Jackson about him that inspires'
confidence. In the council of war, or oa the Held.
his word will he alone for "war to the knife, and
the knife to the hilt." Although a finished, edu
cated, mad accomplished soldier, his strategy, like
that of the lamented Jackeon's, comprises quick
heirs, and plenty of them. As one of his soldiers re
kEr3 to ua the other day, "he's a fighter from the
word go, and don't know when, he's whipped, any
more than Bedford Forrest."

lThe New York Post, commenting on this excellent

"The vigor and enthusiasm of Oen. Ideagher's
ievotion to the Union has a double source ; first,
his genuine attachment to the country of his adop

and from whom he has received so many /m
-inors ; and, secondly, his keen remembrance of his
!own dear native land, which has ever found a
;friend in us, and ever will find one, so long as it
:shall remain worthy of sympathy. Rut for us - to
be an (fitment friend of any no wmtrodden nation we
must keep united. Our moral as well as our Mai
, cal power, our ability to influence councils Of State,
' or to take pelt in their Int ts at war, depends en
tirely upon the unity of the Republic. Break us
up trioiragmentary States, and qur friendship, like
our enmity, will become an indifferent quantity ; but
lit us move to, mankind that we are able to crush
the most formidable rebellion ever organized and
maintain our iristittilions unhurt, and the very
name of the file Republic is henceforth and for
ever a word of might all over the globe. Foreign
' born citizens of common sense perceive thilitruth,
and give their hands and hearts to the national
cause."
Brignoli, the handsome tenor, who is always
foiluante in his engagements, has with him in his
travels a deer's head, which, it is said, possesses the
wonderful power of always bringing good luck to
its owner. It has been his constant companion for
Teals. When Colonel Thomae Chlokering was about
leaving Boston for the war, a handsome deer's head,
with a silver plate bearing an appropriate inscrip
tion, was received by the Colonel as a gift from
'riguoli; and, though not inclined to be supersti
tious, the Colonel has it attached to his saddle when
in the geld, and thus far its talismanic latiaveoe ham
been excellent.

General Haupt is a graduate of West Point, and

rejoice—Clement L. Vallandiebam, the candidate of the
counterfeit Democracy of Ohio; Governer Heyinonr, of

THE ARMY ON THE GOVERNORSHIP.
To the Editor of The Press:
SIB: The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted, on the 19th September, 1863, by the 149th
ard Moth Regiments Pennsylvania Volunteers,
having been submitted separately to each company
in both regiments, and meeting the unanimous ap
proval of eaoh. These regiments, it Will be remem
bered, fought with distinguished valor at Gettys
burg. They were in the Ist Corps, under the com
mand of the lamented Reynolds, and suffered terri
bly in the battle Of Ist July, losing two•thirds of
their e inners and men, killed and wounded, before
giving ground, and then only yielding their position
when the whole line was ordered to fall back. Not
withstanding their fearful losses, these regiments
presented an unbroken: front in the battles of the 2d
and 3d July, and muddled handsomely in the final re
pulse of the enemy on the latter day. They are no w
in the front of the Army of the Potomac, near Cul
peper, eager to encounter their country's open foes
with bullet and bayonet, and now appeal to their
friends at home not to allow our brave army to suffer
from a fire in the rear:
Resolved, That we deem it the sacred duty of every
-loyal citizen' who desires the pre , ervation of our national
imegrity and honor, and the establishment of enduring
pcace and proepe.ity, to support hy their suffrages no
person who lies not declared himself unconditionally
for the war. That Governor Curtin, -by his untiring ef
forts to aid in crushing the rebellion, and his attention
to the wants of Pennsylvania soldiers. has proved him
...self. in ratriotism and ability, second to none, in the
land. ,
• .
Re6oTred, That while we contend with nulled foes in
our front, we appeal to one friends at Lome to take warn
ing by the fate of New ions, with her Copperhead Go
v,•rnment, and accompanying riots, and. laying aside
all partisan prejudices, to act only for the good of our
corm try. •
Xerolva?, That no citizen can give a clearer proof of
devotion to bisCOLUIVY, sued appreciation of good govern
trent. than tho soldam• who offers his life to defend It,
and that Judge Woodward, by his decision disfranchi
sing time soldier, has forteit«l oar confidence.
Resolved, That our national interests dernani. that our
Exacul•ive, who has the organization of our State forces
in his power, should be familiar with the interests of
the service. and 'hat it would be a sad calamity to on
[oust the administration of one State Government to a
person of doubtful patriotism nod loyalty.
Resolved. That as the election of a man avowedly op
pc st d to the war to be Governor of our State world en
courage the enemies of our country, we earnestly appeal
to our friends in Pennsylvania to put forth every effort
to elect an able statesman. a true patriot. lie soldiers'

LE BEAU MONDE.—In spite of the war,
Fashion continues her undisputed sway. Never, pro
bably, has the fickle goddess had so many wor
shippers at her ehrine. It apparently is paradoxical
that so much prosperity and so..muchi' war should
exist together. Tho records of the war are read
and pondered over in the morning papers, and,
though exalting the deepest emotions, interfere not
with the enjoyments and comforts which are our lot
in times of peace. Men's minds are not BO far dis
turbed by the buelle of war that they overlook the
.movements of trade and pleasure at home; and the
ladies, while they lack nothing in their attentions
to the heave soldiers who are thrown into our hos.
pitelr, find that it is not incompatible at the same
time to' erjoy, as in other days, that indulgence of
taste and fancy which is their characteristic. New
bonnets and new dresses, in the latest styles, still
have charms which nothing can diminish. It is a
proof of the versatility and vivacity of our national
character, that we atm rise above gloom and dia.
aster, and have our moments of delight in the midst
of dulness and despondency. We have already
felt bow far we could bear and surmount reverses
which cast a gloom over the community. In the
times of national defeat, our endurance was placed
to the test, and all know with what resoluteness it
was borne out. Now, when victory perches upon
the national banners, in this time of joy and sus
cots, the spirits of the people have taken a new
start, and all are determined to be happy. We see
on . all sides the indications of a return to the good
old days -when we were the envy of the world.
Everywhere we find a spirit of good-will, vive: eLty ;
and humor. The luxuries of life are
freely, and the fashions followed wi t,,. enthusiasm.

smaller ) and t//e fr2lll met? drooping. The inside
trimming swill inclines towards the top of the bon
net, and the crown, generally speaking, is flat. The
cape has been denuded of its heading; and looks all
the better for the loos. The sinter and autumnal
bonnets are all solid, the transparent fronts having
disappeared with the summer bonnets. Every bon
net we look upon is a stern, uncompromising proof
that the summer has lost all influence with her
successor. Not that autumn has asserted
morestrongly and meeepefolly than is,oth.
years l but 1:141 0101 - 11 to have changed characters with
the spring, and is less of a remembrance than a pro
mise. No shape that has ever been devised by the
teeming brain of a French modiste equals in grace and
beauty the Mary Stuart. Nothing is so universally
becoming. It is the only shape that it as impossible
to vulgarize, and we are glad to chronicle its re
appearance. Gay colors are not fashionable. On
this point taste and fashion now coalesce. For the
coming winter black velvet bonnets take the lead;
but other colors are not taboogd. Carr color is in
high favor, and purple retains its hold on public es
timation. Individual taste will undoubtedly assert
itself this winter, as ever, and in these particular in
stances fashion will of course give way ; for, though
fashion is a despotism, yet like every other despo
tism it is subject to checks - and modified by outward
influences it disdains to acknowledge.
A word as to the price of bonnets. Of course, with
all the materials that enter into their composition
selling at extravagant prices, it is not to be eetneeted
that they could be purchased at the prices that ruled
two or three years ago. They sell now for a hue
died per cent, more than then, as bonnets that could
be bought three years ago for twelve dollars now
command twenty-five; and no bonnet is too expen
sive, no price too high, for the fashionables of to
day.
As to dresses, we notice that all the light and
gauzy fabrics of summer have vanished from the
store windows and the promenade. The equinox
has brought in its train heavy menaces and dark
silks instead, as well as cool evenings and short
days. The winter campaign is fairly opened ; all
the dry-goods establishments have their goods for
the coming season ready for inspection.
We have all the materinls of former seasons—
silks in all their bewildering variety, moire antiques,
cloths, poplins, inerinoes, alpacas, ottoman cloths,
and a great many anonymous nondescripts. Plaids
Ne candidates for popular favor this season, and we
think, from all the indications, that their chances
are very fair. They area very irrepressible style of
dress, there same plaids ;-they are no sooner clown
than they are up again—a very Celtic characteristic.
We have them in merinoes, in cloths, and in poplin,
and in every variety and combination of Wore,
t.s,l;illWia are in great demand, and nothing can be
more elegant when gracefully disposed—a very rare
gilt, by the way, and one for which the Empress
Josephine was celebrated. Nothing can be too dear,
nothing can be too costly , to find purchasers.
FUNERAL CEREMONIES OF COL. 11.0 BERT
M. LEM—The funeral ceremonies of thelate Colonel
Robert K. 'Lee took place yesterday afternoon, at
St. Stephen's Church, Tenth street, belovv Market.
The services were of a very impressive and solemn
character, and were conducted by the Rev. Dr.
Ducachet, pastor of the church. The coffin con
taining the body was placed yin the centre of the
middle aisle during the continuance cot tne funeral
rites. It was a handsome hlscir-covered end silver
zsounted ore, with the American. fling laid over
together with a wreath of natural flowers, his
sword and military Cap. The music of the organ
and choir, and the chiming of the large bells in the
tower of the church, added much solemnity to the
scene.
After the ceremony in the church was gone
through with,the coffin was placed on the hearse
and, with the large concourse, proceeded to Laurel
Bill Cemetery, where the remains were interred.
The pall•bearers on the occasion were Judge Share
wood, Judge Thompson, Judge Allison, David Paul
Brown j Esq. David Webster, Esq , M. J. Merchant,
Esq., Colonel Price, Golonel Gwyn, Major Taggart,
Captain Gosdiellow, and Captain Lougheau. A
- l Arzenumber of the members of the bar, Officers of
the army - ana - navy, - ara - severax-ewnm
i.,—,,
diets, comprising the different regiments of the
Army of the Potomac, were also in attendance.
Colonel Lee died in New York on Monday last, and
his body was I:nought here for interment. Ile en
tered the service of hie country as an aid on the staff
of Major General Cadwalfider, and served during
the early campaigns of the war, when his health
failing, he was detached by the President and
appointed a paymaster for the United States army,
and stationed at New York.
IiEBURE.—A few evenings
since a number of the "Copperhead" fraternity,
under the nan e of Democracy, held a meeting at
Germantown. The Administration and the Union
patty were denounced with the foulest abuee, as is
usual. The sentiments met with appicose. Pend
ing the proceedings, an old lifelong Demoorat, a
lawyerratopped at the room in which the meeting
was held. The president recognizing hint, iequested
hie presence on the platform. In response to the
invitation he seated himself upon the plat
folm. After the speaker finished his re-
marks, the preeldtut asked the newly invited
guest to make a speech. He arose, and - after the
applause had subsided, be said that he had not come
to make a spee.ch, but lather to listen ; in response
d oto the request of the president he would deliver a
few remarks, He said that he had listened atten
tively to the gentleman who had just concluded,
end felt constrained to say, from a love of truth,
- that he most emphatically dissented from every
word he had uttered. As a Democrat, he loved
the Union and utterly despised treason. He
was in favor of ; supporting the Administration
in its efforts to crush the rebellion. He was for
strengthening the Government, and not weakening
it : and one of the most effectual ways to drive de
spiir into Jeff Davis , ehicering soul was to vote for
Andrew G. Curtin for Governor. At this there was
a gcneral hiss from the coiling, writhing Copper
heads. The honest Denmerat retired, and the
meeting, even after this wholesome, Christian, pa
trioticrebuke' adjourned by giving three cheers for
'' oodward, Lowrie, and liberty,,,

EXTENSION ON TICE • WATER WORICS.—
This project Still hangs tire before City Council.
The bill which was under consideration last week.
Is subetantielly the same as all the others- on the
came, subject that have occupied the attention of
'Councils for three or four zears past. It is appa
rently now as far from adoption as before. The
expenditure necessary for the purpose in very large,
patronage which it affordsoto the political
pirtY in poZmr is so much dreaded by the other,
that'an effectual steak is given to its passage when
evefit is brought before the members. Such a time
acCmow would probably be the beat to atieot the
niefrafire, because before it would have become 'a
lawTtheelection could in no way be affected by it.
The necessities of the city certainly require these
new Water works. -

that when the amount unsold reaches fifty millions,
they will all be .taken in a single line at par by
capitalists in the large cities.
AcaiDENT.— About 11 o'clock yesterday
morning, a man, named James kleGuilt, residing

Tricks in Trade.
The impositions practised in business are be
coming so numerous, and subtle in many cases, that
It will probably soon require a special corps of de
tectives to ferret them out. The old saying that
"there are tricks in all trades but ours" is a tacit
confession that there are tricks in all trades, with
out an exception'. The practice of labelling goods
" French" and "English," that are made in Phila
delphia, and other American cities of less note, has
become so common that the printed marks, "Lon.
don," " Parte," &c intelligent buyers, are re
garded simply as business jokes, without any seri-
ous pretensious whatever to truth. For the credit
of our people, however, it is quite time that this
se stematie falsifying were stopped, because it not
only damages our reputation f.ir veracity, but de
predates uijustly our own domestic manufactures.
It is unquestionably our right to imitate the best
foreign-made goods, and excel them, if we can ; but
the practice of selling our own as foreign articlea is
derogatory to our character as a nation.
The latest imposition of thin kind to which our at
tention has been directed, is, that large quantities of
what is known to dealers as American-made Russia
.shert iron (!) are now manufactured in this country,
and sold to consumers as being the genuine Rueshea
aiticle, In order to do this successfully, various
de
vices are resorted to, among thelatest and TO''
sat dan
gerous of which is the " trick " which'
s
about to expose. In consequence we era now

on the imported article, there -
the high l
stove manufacturers NO - - are comparativey few
who think they can
can afford, or, at least,
- ` 1
employ the dov- . afford, to use it;. while the rest
order to m -
seestic article almost exclusively. In
in. ..eke a show of honesty, however, the lat
. up stoves in their stores, side by side, made
of the genuine and the imitation article, allowing
their u nsophisticate d customer to "take his choice."
Now it so happens that the imitation., or American
made, Russia sheet iron looks exceedingly black and
smooth when polished, while the genuiae has a sort
of bluish, variegated cast, and presents a compara
tively dull appearance. To the unpractised eye
the former looks preferable, and in order
to make the deception profitable, as well
as complete, the dealer reverses the two arti
cles in hia representations to his customer, telling
him that the American (which looks the haudsomer)
is the R. usefan, and vice versa, allowing him to " se
led for himself." As the prices, under such dr
curnetancea, are nearly equal, the pseudo Russian
article generally takes the preference, and the con
sumer is none the wiser until about a year after
wards, he - diecovere the cheat, when he finds that,
unlike a genuine Russian sheet iron Stove, the one
t Rea purchased is corroding, and speedily becoming
thin and worthless. This is an outrageous imposi
tion, and we know that all honest 0t0 , 743 manufactu
rers and dealers will thank us for exposing it, for the
reasons first, that it is damaging to the reputation
of their trade, and secondly, because it bring them.
into unfair and ruinous competition.
Too much care cannot be taken to impress upon
the mind of the reader the economy of buying the
genuine Russian article in preference to the imita
tion, for the reasons that the latter, even with the
greatest care in greasing during summer, ese , will
mat and waste away from exposure to the atmos
phere, while the former, even without the precaution
of oiliog, remains unchanged in strength and ap-
peararme for yearn.
For the:purpose of obtaining the most accurate in
formation with reference to ,this subject, we called
yesterday at the Ileadquarters of the stove trade in
this city, the large warerooms of Mr. James Spear,
Nos. 1116 and 1118 Maiket street. Knowing Mr.
Vs character for integrity in business, we hoped to
have the opportunity of comparing the two classes
of stoves above referred to ; but, upon examination,
found that in Mr. Spear's immense stock there was
but one single stove made from the imitation iron,
and that one was got up by him last year simply as
an experiment. It was not difficult, however, to
discover from this specimen that, but for the grease
which had been applied to it, it would have gone to
dust during the summer, while the genuine Russia
iron stoves, in the same apartment, remained as per.
feet as new without grease. As already stated, in
appearance, the imitation iron is superior to the
genuine. The prominent marks of the Ramia arti
cle are the small indentations and whitish spots on
its surface ;`yet the similarity of the two is so great
that it requires close inspection to detect the dif.
ference.
Buy are will thank us for this information. We
may state, in conclusion, that persons who are de•
simile of obtaining genuine Russia. iron stoves will
find them in greatest variety and perfection at Mr.
Spear's establishment, notwithstanding. the high du
ties on the article. In furnishing this magnificent
steak, (which, by the way, embraces, in addition to
his celebrated Anti•duat and Gas-burning Parlor
Stows, and woild•rertowned Cook Stoves, the moat
complete line of Heating Stoves In this city,) Mr,
Spear has been actuated no less by motives of pa
ttiotion, in coats ibuting money to the Government,
thibugh the Custom livuee , for the suppression of
the rebellion, than by an honorable disposition to
furnish his customers, and the public in general,
With the beet stoves in the world.-
INTERESTING TO THE LADIES.—The
bright, crisp autumn weather that has dropped in
upon us, has, very naturally, turned the attention
of our lady readers in the direction of new dregs
foods. Fortunately, for their special benefit in this
particular, we are enabled this morning to direct
them to one of the most attractive announcements
of the season, in another column of - our paper. We
refer to the advertisement of " Rich Dress Goods,"
by Messrs. Edwin Hall & On., No. 26 South Second

the choicest stock of Dress Goods has long since
been established, but their preparations,to meet the
wants of ladies of taste, this season, surpass in
extent and magnificence anything that they have
ever heretofore offered. Their stock is replete with
every desirable novelty, and their handsome_ store
is literally crowded throughout the business hours
of every day, from Monday morning till Saturday

33.6.0 E FRoM THE Wa.F.S.—There is no
more gratifying compliment that can be justly paid
to Philadelphia than has been fairly won by the
patriotism of her merchants. The invasion of our
State, in June and July, summoned hundreds to the
rescue of our imperilled flag, most of whom., after
submitting to the rough routine of caw) life, have
now returned to their business. Happening-in at
