MONDAY,' SEPTEMBER 28, 1863
THE 'NEWS.
Tux detailed account of thd battle of Chicka
mauga changes very slightly, if at all, the impres
talon of our late telegrams. Against the pressure of
greater numbers, our soldiers gave, in desperate
fighting, equally as much as they received ; and such
another victory or disaster, under the same circum
stances, would not be a welcome repetition to either
army. Gen. Burnable, it is again reported, is cen
sured by the Government for the delay of his re
inforcing column. Significant of the character
of the victory claimed by General Bragg is the
fact that rebel papers still complain of his gene
ealship, end that one of them recommends Ids super
seduce. (Rm. Joseph Johnston has not been heard
of, except in name, for some time past, and this fact
has probably furnished temptation to thc amusing
rumor that he was killed In the late battle.
ACCOADING to a Louisville telegram, General
Burnside la now at Knoxville, and, up to the eGth,
had made no effort to reinforce General Rosecrane.
His position is safe,. In case of peril, he may full
back upon Cumberland Gap, which, with a small
force, may resist a large army. ,
Vv. have inspiring news of the war in Arkansas.
In making a junction with the forces at Little Rock,
Colonel Cloud, of Blunt's forcesetwice encountered
the enemy, under General Oabell and others, and
routed them. Two thoueandUnionists of Arkansas
havejoined our forces, and more arc coining Into
our lines.
Orrosen to our forces in the battle of Chick?:
Inauga was the old Army of the Teatime°, which
Bragg had no long commanded; Longstreet's formi
dable corps from Viiginia one half of Johnston's
Army from Mississippi; Buckner's division from
Bast Tennessee; Dabney Murray'e division from
'Mobile; Brigadier General Lee's division from At
lanta, and from twelve to fifteen thousand fresh
troops in the service of the State of Georgia; in all
amounting to at least seventy-five thousand men.
The Union army, confronting them Was certainly not
more than fifty.ftve thousand strong.
A vow - Dan of iiiesponsibue reports come tows by
Way of. New York—that Gen. Meade is retreating
en Washington, after sending two corps to aid
Roseanne and Gilmore; that the latter general is
ordered to capture Charleston forthwith, and cut
the railroany which Longstreet will have to return
to Richmond, and that the Government sees the im
portance of concentrating on Georgia.
Tan Army of the Potomac is again in motion,
according to erodible report. Transports were cc
lively loading at Alexandria, and A considerable
force was to be embarked. The Baltimore and Ohio
Road has been seized by the Government for the
exclusive use of the Paohmontl, it is said
in this commotion, is almost defenceless.
Ilereemexree. has been received that Colonel
Straight and all his men have been brought from
Southern dengeons to Richmond, and are treated as
other prisoners. This change in their condition has
been brought about by retaliatory measures of this
Government.
Swoon Curmiicanard, leader of the Democracy of
Beaver county, and one of the vice presiednta of the
Charleston Convention, has declared in favor of the
Union ticket. Ile states that in a conversation last
fall. Mr. Justice Woodward spoke in favor of with
drawing all our armies north of Mason and Dixon's
line, and making peace with the rebels,
AN Italian newspaper says that, in consequence of
the system of reprisals adopted against the Italian
conaul in Rome, the Turin Government will give
esequatur ato all the Papal consuls in the towns of
Italy.
A FRBNCH paper states that the seizure of the re
bel pirate Florida at Brest for an unpaid claim, has
been opposed according to orders from Paris, issued
with the object of keeping the harbor inviolable as
A military port.
KING GEOIiGE, the new ruler of Greece, has re•
pounced his - right to the succession of the Danish
throne in favor of his younger brother and his
heirs.
WEE have definite statement, in a telegram from
New Orleans, that an overland expedition, strong
in numbere and preparation, has started for Texas.
A FORITIDABLE composed of a large
land and naval force, is said to bey ready for an at
tack upon Mobile, to which the Texas movement is
said to be a feint.
A. =ma in the Herald mentions that General
- Burnside has again offered his resignation, and that
Gen. Hooker will probably take hie place.
A LETTER from rilemphiS reports that Generals
. -
:Sherman and McPherson are on the march- to rein
force Roseerans from Mississippi.
Bra late exchange of prisoners our armies are
increased by from ten to fifteen thousand men.
The Political Prospect.
Unless all the auguries are deceptive, the
friends of the Government and the Union
'will carry Pennsylvania by a tremendous
rnajoritY on the 13th of October. A some
'what extended canvass of the State, and a
careful reading of the newspapers of both
parties, enable us to make and to em
phasize this prophecy. It is cheering
to observe that in every county hosts
of Democrats have decided to support Go
vernor Orrwrm and the whole Union tick
et There is scarcely a township in the
state in which this fact is not admitted. It
is the Democratic element that will expose
sympathy with treason, and rebuke armed
treason itself. Take Lancaster county as an
example. In that great county, an era
pire in itself, nearly every recog
nized leader of the old Democracy
is for CURTIN" and against WOODWARD.
Dr. FREDERICE AUGUSTUS MUFILENDERG
(brother of the lamented and beloved
REEKY E. Illunr,nnuErtc4, of Barks COllO.-
ty), Hon. BENJAMIN GTEAMPNEYS, JAS. L.
REYNOLDS, Dr. PATRICE CASSEGY, JAMES
3ECPITAIL, Dr. : Jon); DUNLAP, GEORGE M.
Icurcn, men who have given dignity,
energy, and force to the Democratic party—
are all ranged under the flag of the Union,
and in favor of the Union State ticket.
In Chester county, such Democratic leaders
as Dr. WORTELINu'TON, GEO. W. PEARCE,
P. FRAZER SMITH, JOHN MARSHALL,
Colonel SAMUEL RINGWALT, stand at the
side of heroic Join HICEMAST, and earnestly
advocate :ANDREW G. CURTIN. We need
not show how this feeling has spread in
Philadelphia, where thousands of Democrats
are openly sustaining the Union candidates:
Nor is it necessary to enumerate the leading
Democrats in other quarters of the State who
have broken the chains of party and rejected
the dictates of the new lights of a perverted
and false Democracy. Every hour adds
new converts to the great army of patriotic
men in this State, and increases the chances
of Governor CURTIN'S triumphant re-elec
tion.
Woodward speaks.
We ventured a few comments, a day or
two since, upon a certain speech that Mr.
Justice WOODWARD was announced to have
made in Easton. A denial of the fact was
immediately published, although our au
thority was the Associated Press reporter,
the most reliable in the country. We now
see in a Copperhead newspaper that the
denial was not true, and that Mr. Justice
WOODWATin did make a speech. Moreover,
the writer in the Copperhead newspaper
gives us, after a fashion, what may be called
a report :
"On Saturday evening he [Mr. Justice Wood.
ward] accepted an invitation to visa Me Democratic
Readguarters, whore he met, during the two hours
he remained there, not less than one thousand of
our citizens. Re was called upon for a speech; but
excused himself on the ground that he was still a
judge of the Supreme Court, and he had hid it
down as a rule he intended to observe through life
not to discuss' political questions while he held a
judicial position. In the course of his few remarks, hotw
ever, he did say that he had learned his political princi.
;Iles from the teachings of such men as George Wash
ington, Thomas JeWerson, James Monroe and An
drew Jackson ; that he thought thole disdnguished
gentlemen were right, and he preferred their politi
cal doctrines to thole advocated by Horace Greeley,
Wendell Phillips, Sze., &mil
All of which is very innocent, and not in
such bad taste as we might have had from
the judge of the Supreme Court. The
Democratic headquarters is just the place
for a judge - , the associations being such as
we are always glad to see surrounding the
members of our bench. Honor, truthful
ness, candor, courtesy, justice, with as many
more of the virtues as we care to name, are
to be found in such a place ; and a pure,
high-minded,Lirnpartial judge, with no other
ambition 'than to administer justice to his
fellow-men, would naturally And comfort
and consolation among the men that would
\ there surround him. The reader will r e.
mark the airy grace with which Mr. Justice
,WOODWARD attributes his faith to WAsu_
INOTON, JACESON, JEFFERSON, and 1110 N
Itoz. 'He might have added OALTIOUN.
Perhaps he did, and the omission is that of
the Copperhead reporter. We wonder, how
ever, from which of these four statesmen he
obtained his faith. Did JEFFERSON teach
him that " slavery was an incalculable bless
ing," or was it from JACKSON that he learned
the precept that if the Southern States
wished to go from the Union, they might
"go peaceably ?" Perhaps WASHiNaToN
taught him that slaveholders might go to
war to defends their institution; and it is to
Montton., after all, that we owe the senti
ment that " to think against slavery is a sin,
and to speak against slavery a crime."
In Ohio and Wisconsin, Democrats of the
school Of CASSIDY, CESSNA, WRIGIIT, and
others of the friends of DOUGLAS are hold
ing meetings, and denouncing the treason
, able course of the Democracy. In Pennsyl
vania, these men prefer to be dragged at the
heels of the old Breekinridge cabal, Where
is the spirit of the olden time
IT IS ANNOUNCED that Mr. Pfttmcfs S.
Gntricy, recently the principal editor of the
Age newspaper, and one of the most distin
guished Demodrats in Pennsylvania, will
maim an address to the members of the
Union League this evening, at their head
quarters, on Chestnut street, below Twelfth.
Mr. GRUND is one of the most experienced
and accomplished journalists and orators in
the country, and has served the Government
in several high positions. Ile was a Demo
crat of the strictest faith, and as such sustained
the nomination of Mr. Justice WooDwAno
when first made. Ile has seen, however, the
infamies surrounding the present Democratic
organization, and the danger its success will
entail upon the country, and he accordingly
gives his support to ANDREW G. CURTIN and
the nominations of the Union Conventions.
Mr. Ginuxn's ability will be of great service
to the cause, and we welcome- him with plea
sure into the companionship of those who
are fighting the great battles of freedom in
Pennsylvania.
LET IT BE REMEMBERED that, while Mr.
Justice WOODWAED has given his intellect
to the service of those who are enemies of
the - Union, and has fashioned many . argu
ments for treason and disloyalty, he has not
said a woid in favor of the country. We
have a letter from him within the last few
days, but it is so insincere and unmeaning
that the people regard it with contempt.
When the war first began he had nothing to
say in favor of the country, or against rebel
lion. Indeed, he sustained the rebellion, for
he told the slaveholders in South Czirolina,
when they were arming, that they " might
lawfully fall back upon their natural rights,"
and Einploy war in their defence.
Tun generous rivalry among the friendsof
the Union throughout the State is a pleasant
thing. Thus we find that loyal men no
longer discuss the chances of the election
with those who are disloyal, but indulge in
amicable disputes over the contemplated
majcnities. Old Berks, of course, will go
the way of the Democracy, but Lancaster
comes gallantly forward and pledges herself
to overthrow her majority, and perhaps have
a thousand or two to spare. Lauca.ster has
made for herself a proud name as a friend of
the Administration and the war, aud she
will he true to her fame and her traditions
when called upon to vote for Governor. Let
us have the opportunity of hailing 'Lancaster
as the banner county.
"LET LEE drive MEADE into Washington,
and he will again raise the spirits of the
Democrats, confirm their timid, and, give
confidence to their wavering." This is
- what a rebel writer says. Friends of the
Union, do not forget that the spoliation of
your homes and the murder of your brethren .
are here recorded as the most gratifying
advantages that could lids]. the Democratic'
party. Who can longer doubt that it is a
party whose sympathies are constantly with
the enemies of our country ?
A RICIIIIIOND newspaper sees hope for
V.AILANDICMAII'S triumph in the success of
BRAGG. Not long since the Richmond En
quirer advised LEE to invade Pennsylvania,
and by thus emboldening the peace party,
enable WOODWARD to triumph. Thus we
always see that what the rebels most desire
is the success of our enemies, and what they
most dread is our own triumph. The sym
pathies of WOODWAED and DAVIS are the
same, and the success of one would be the
success of the other.
"Vint the restoration of the Union,
the establishment of a monarchy in Mexico
Would become very difficult, if not impossi
ble." A French journal inales this state
meat, and thus gives us another evidence
of the truth that the integrity of the Union
is the perpetuity of liberty, and that, with
•the triumph of our cause, we have the tri
umph of freedom.
WINE. HORATIO Bra - moult as GONTMOT,
the people of New York - became the victims
of one of the most fearful mobs in the his
tory of crime. With ALSDR:EW G. CURTIN
as Governor of this State, such a mob was,
impossible. Suppose GEORGE W. WOOD
WARD had been Governor of Pennsylvania,
what security would we have had that Phi
ladelphia would not become another New
York ? Let us profit by the experience of a
sister State.
THE name of the Union candidate for Su
prune Judge is frequently incorrectly printed
as DANIEL 46 AGNEW. The Et." should
be omitted,•and care should be taken in
every county that upon the tickets DANIEL
AGNEW should be printed.
"THE RECOGNITION of the South is, we
must admit, the logical consequence of our
Mexican enterprise." This is what a writer
in a French journal says. Let him ask
himself what will be the logical consequence
of the recognition of the South.
A Di moonteric ConVention in New York
recently passed a resolution, in which it
favored the immediate withdrawal of every.
Federal soldier from the Southern soil."
This is the belief of the Democracy in Penn
sylvania, as well as New York—the only
difference being a mere question of courage.
3111. W3I. BIOLFat, formerly Elenator, made
a speech a few evenings,. since. We are told
that "he entertained, interested, and -en
thralled all by his luminous and eloquent
expoEition." Those who know Mr. BIGLER
Will appreciate this as a very exquisite piece
of irony.
Wnv is it that not one of the Democratic
newspapers endorses the letter of Mr. Justice
WoonwAnn, in which he is made to favor
the war. For shame, gentlemen Don't
desert your candidate. You have endea
vored to make him sell his disloyal birth
right, now give him his mess of pottage.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2., - 1863
Crime in Washington.
Superintendent of Police WE1313, in his quarterly
report, says there is no doubt all crimes, murder ex
cepted, are greatly on the increase in Washington,
notvrithstanding he has hdd the valuable assistance
of the military authorities in addition to his own
forces. We have, he says, one arrest for every twelve
or thirteen Of our population, which has been nearly

Retaliation.
The correspondent of the Tribune writes : The
President has directed General GILMORE to demand
from General BLIMMEGATID a list of the officers and
men of the 54th Colored Regiment, who were taken
prisoners OP Morris Island, and a statement'of their
present status. If the list be furnished an equal
number of rebels of the same rank or higher, who
• are now in our hands, will be set apart for such treat
ment an our men receive. It is understood that if
BEAM:II:GARD refuses to furnish the list, or pleads
ignorance, as lie in reported to have done in answer
to inquiries on this subject from Commissioner
017 ID, our Government will presume that the re
bele have carried out their threats, and will act ac
cordingly.

that amputation will become necessary. This affair
happened on the west side of the Rapidan, eight
miles from the headquarters of the Army of the Po t
tomac.

The Nashville Union, of yesterday, says that Burn
side has reached a point where it was expected he

GEN. BURNSIDE'S DELAY.
[From the Evening Post.]
The late battle of Chattanooga would have had a
different result if the orders of the Government had
been more punctually obeyed. The Government
was aware of the design of the rebels in reinforcing
Bragg, namely, to overwhelm our army by superior
numbers, and sent message by telegraph to General
Burnside ordering him to reinforce Roseerans with
the men under his command. Burnside replied that
he was on his way to Jonesboro, and would join
Bosecrens as soon as he had occupied that place.
The Government then repeated the order in a
peremptory manner, ordering him to reinforce
Roseanne immediately. Two days afterwards a
telegraphic message was received here from Burn
side to the effect that he had taken Jonesboro., and
should now proceed to the assistance of Bosecrans.
At the last advises the main body of the troops un
der Burnside were at Athens. His advance was at
Cleveland.
The Government is not satisfied with this proceed
ing of 13urnside, and it is } • et to be seen what neces
oily there was for his neglect to obey the order given
in such express terms.
SHERMAN AND MePHERSON EN ROUTE
FOR ROSECRANS.
Nr.w YORK, Sept. 21.—A letter from Menaphis
says that General Sherman's corps is on the way to

corps is also on the route for the same destination.
GENERAL BURNSIDE AT KNOXVILLE.
LoursviLLE, Sept. 27.—General Burneide was at
Knoxville yesterday. The military authorities here
say that General Burnside did not know of an im
pending battle between Rosecrans and Bragg, and
could not have reinforced Rosecrans if he had. The
battle had been long concluded before the news
reached Burnside.
A Kentucky ex-official left Morristown on Mon
day night, and General Burnside was then forty
miles east of Knoxville.
General Hartauff is at ICnoxville.
There are no rebels this side of Greencastle.
General Burnside is entirely safe In hie present
position, and by concentrating at Cumberland Gap
can repel any force. His supplies ate abundant, and
not liable to be cut off.
The rebel telegraph line from the Gap to Morris
town is not in order, but there is telegraphic corn

STEYENSBURG.
Stevensburg is a very small place. It presents a
sorry appearance—the inhabitants look pitiable, the
houses totter upon the crumbling foundations The
daris of several dwellings can be seen in the centre
of the town. For the accommodation of its one hurt
dred and ally white inhabitants, more room has
been required, more buildings erected, than for the
five or eight hundred blacks. At first I ascribed
Stevensburg's worn appearance t 6 the war; but
people assure me that it always looked so, and I be
lieve them. I shall leave this morning, for if I look
long on these buildings who knows but I may grow
of a sad countenance, like other Pharisees]

bitter toward the Yankees. In this small place two

are going to Pennsylvania. Almost every one Icon.
verse with blames South Carolina as author of all
their woes. The men from South Carolina can talk,
they tell me, "but they can't light." Of course I
agree with them when they say the war should be
carried on in South Carolina. Poor creatures! they
know nothing of events, save those which transpire
around them. The war will be carried on in South
Carolina.
PICKET NEWS—REBEL CAMPS.
The rebels, a few miles bell:sw Raccoon ford, fired
on our men to-day, wounding one slightly. Georgia
troops arc placed in the front, and' appear vindictive
and bitter. Their picket Rues have been doubled,
to prevent desertions, which seem to increase every
day. Three have been shot this week, prisoners
say. 1 saw a tine young fellow give himself up to
our pickets to-day. He belonged to the 12th Geor
gia, and has been in the army since its formation.
lie belongs to Eweils corps, which he calls eighteen
thousand strong, and says Hill's corps is lying along
the river someplace.'Longstreet and command, he
is certain, has gone to Tennessee. Our enemy across
the river watches us like a lynx. Every little corn
motion in camp attracts their attention, and draws
a few shells to that spot. They fear us. Their flanks
are covered as well as possible ; they have traversera
on every hill in our front, and still they appear ner
vous. Their every action betrays insecurity. Last
night and this morning, cheering could be distinctly
heard. Their camp seemed in an uproar. The bands
were playing arid drums beating, and I feared they
had some tidings of victory that I knew nothing of.
Far to the rear of their encampments, dense columns
of smoke have been ascending all day, as if of burn
ing camps. On a very high eminence where they
had a heavy piece of ordnance yesterday, it was
removed to-day.
GUNLESS EARTHWORKS.
On all the long lines of earthworks so hastily
thrown up I cannot discover a single gun. Some
prisoners we tcok said they defsigned leaving yester
day. Buford and Kilpatrick were thundering at
their left flanks, which they found would be cleverly
turned, so they preferred leaving incontinently to
being all taken prisoners. Afterwards, hearing it
was nothing more than a cavalry raid, they ceased
preparations to retreat. A very foolish postpone
ment, as they will only have to go some other day
when they may not have suoh cool, delightful
weather.
Sir Henry Holland came here to•day with Assist
ant Adjutant General Townsend, and reviewed the
12th corps, commanded by General Slocuth. Though
consulting physician to Queen Victoria, he is a good
horseman, and rides like a Centaur, at seventy-five
years old. He expressed himself delighted with the
picturesque appearance of the encampment, and the
men, every one of whom was the hero of a score of
battles, he could not help admiring. About noon he
rode down to the river and looked at the rebel lines.
GEARY'S BRIGADE-STRINGFELLOW
Gen. Geary , s brigade looked uncommonly well.
Kansas Stringfellow, as he was generally called, a
notorious border ruffian during the Kansas troubles,
resides near the General's headquarters. I presume
he hes come recollection of the way Governor Geary
used him while in that State, and the rest of his
robber horde.
Monday, about 'noon, I met Kilpatrick's sad Bu
ford's divisions, en route for Madison Court House.
I knew there would be fighting, and longed to go
with them; but a general order forbade me, and I
was forced to watch them gradually recede from
eight, as they trotted along their winding way. At
Madison Court House they met the enemy, whom
they gallantly charged, and drove without stopping
a considerable distance. They made but one decided
stand, and then were soon routed. Here we had two
men killed, belonging to the Sib Illinois and ad India
ana respectively. We captured about fifty prisoners.
Three commissioned officers of Moseby's staff were
returning from a short furlough, 'with new horses,
and fell between the two cavalry divisions and were
captured. In the fight near the Court House we
captured a rebel colonel and some lieutenants.
General Kilpatrick captured a train of from fif
teen to twenty wagons, but the enemy reinforcing,
suddenly succeeded in retakingthem. Buford's loss
was slight—Kilpatrick losing heavily. As goon as
General Buford had accomplished his mission they
returned.
General Met:Lie liais been closeted with his chief
tains, and whether the consultation will result in a
forward movement will soon be known. We can't
have such beautiful weather and such excellent
roads a great while.
Men continue to flow in upon us. They are much
needed, for it takes a great number to guard the
railroad and bridges.
Two miles from Burke's Station is Station No. 13.
There is nothing remarkable about the appearance
of Station No. 13. An enormous wood-pile lies
near the railroad track, and between twenty and
thirty contrabands can be seen busy, sawing all
day. Opposite is a park of wagons and a correl for
mules and horses, with here and there a group of
mud wigwams. Some of these mules have been
turned loose to graze. Sergeant Hylands, of the Bth
Pennsylvania Cavalry, went out to look after them.
Just as he began to approach them twenty-one gue
rillas rushed out from a neighboring thicket and
surrounded mules and sergeant The latter fired
his revolver, emptying one saddle, but was captured
in spite of his bravery. Nine mules were. taken.
All this occurred within a short distance of Alex
andria today. I wish the rebel conscription officer
hail all these then. Whenever I pass through a sec
tion of country and see stout looking men in coarse
gray clothes, I know they have been concealed from
the conscripting officer, and now crawl forth to prey
upon us. These men should receive no mercy. B.'

An enthusiastic Union meeting was held in Ham

HATIIMIIO, BBTZITS Courrry, 16 3TILVS _BEYOND
RILADIW6, Saturday Sept. 26, 1863, 11 P.
I hasten to inform you of the gay time we have
had in our borough to-day. We resolved to hold
a Curtin and Agnew meeting in this borough
where Woodward Democrats most do congregete,
and we did it. We had a hard net-and-club fight
for it, but we did it. The- meeting began at "2 P.
M. A large procession, in which was a wagon
with thirteen ladies, dressed in white, floating the
Union flag, and the Pottsville band, went from the
place of meeting to the Hamburg depot to escort
the speakers, who came from Pottsville. A goodly
number assembled at Bretz Hotel (Centre House)
and listened with great Interest and profit to patri
otic suldregses from Charles Davis, Esp., of Read
ing. English speaker, and. Charles Smith, Esq., of
Philadelphia, German speaker. The afternoon ex-
Melees, enlivened.bOnusic from the band, were
cancluded by a powerful and most effective address
from Benjamin Heywood, Hee., an iron master of
Pottsville, who employs 700 men.
In the evening the same large and Imposing proem
;Jon greeted the arrival of Win. Nicholson, Esq., of
Philadelphia, and escorted him to the place of meet- '
;Mg. The evening meeting was a huge crowd, and
was to be dispersed without being edified by speeches
if half-drunken Copperheadism could accomplish it.
Almost directly opposite Bretz Hotel (the place of
meeting) etansig a lager-beer brewery, kept by John
Baled', a Woodward Democrat. A short address
was delivered by Colonel Young, of Pottsville.
When the President (Peter C. Baum, of our be
roughe introduced Mr. Nicholson, it seemed to be
the eignal for the enemy to begin the attack, and
then and there the peace party, in the brewery be
fore named, get up all sorts of loud outlandish
noises, rendering it impossible for him to proceed.
A few Union men went in and were put out, and
for a time the drunken demonstration raged more
loudly than ever, and it seemed that the meeting
would be broken up. Soon, however, there emcee
forth all the human contents . of the room, and a long
train of, persona followed the leaders with derisive
and triumphant hootings, and for a few minutes the
crowd about the stand had dwindled to about forty
women and a few old men. In a short time it be
came as large as ever, and very peaceable, and it was
announced that the freeeipeech Copperheads had
been knocked down, dragged, and by other force
hustled clear out of town. Mr. Nicholson then hail
free speech and earnest listeners for about one hour,
in which, among other sayings, he commented with
sarcastic force upon the prefeesions of Democracy as
contrasted with its practices on that occasion. The
meeting was afterwards addressed by Charles Smith
in German. Col. Young also made other remarks.
Then came music from the band, and after that
about twenty"young women and as many young
men (the choir of N . . Shollenberger, editor of the
Union paper her%) sung "Rally round the Flag "
end the " Star Spangled Banner." It was a glorious
sight and '"sound to see the banner of the Union
floating gently in the night wind, with the full moon
giving its mellow light to mingle with the melody
-of
male and female voices; stirring deeply and power
- fully those patriotic emotions which were then
Strong enough to stifle for the time the digcords of
the preceding hour.
After short skirmishing speeches by the president,
Mr. Drivis, Colonel Young, and Mr. Nicholson, the
large . and delighted assembly reluctantly passed
away. Why could not the Copperheads let it rest
so I It is not in their nature. Hamburg has within
it just the kind ofr base material that Governor
Seymour's friends are made of, willing, in its mean
cowardice, to push iM fietic arguments into the faces
of peaceful citizens, when it supposes it can do so
Without danger. Some of the quietest and most
worthy men in the borough were knocked down and
badly beaten. afar the xneeting was over, for no other
reason than being in favor of the war for the Union.
This again Mused the war spirit of the Union men,
and they said the thing must be seft/ed. So back they

friends, like Governor Seymour's friends in New
York, were beaten in the only argument they can
appreciate or mill use—the fist and boot. They were
whipped. The meeting, which they resolved should
not he held, was held, and we have full faith that the
large Democratic majority heretofore given will be
diminished, notwithstanding so many of the Union
voters are on the battle-field

excellence in this particular. Professor William A.
Newland, the efficient organist of. St. Joseph's

time, a second grand Mass for four voices, organ,
and stringed instruments. Great satisfaction was
expressed upon all sides, especially as the congrega
tion were not in expectation of any such event, yes
terday not being a festival of the Church, The pe
culiarity of the mass was an accompaniment of Bell
Harmonia, chime of bells played with keys, the
effect of 'which was highly pleasing, and gave addi

TILE. SPARRING EICLUBITION AT FR - ANICLI N HALL
John 0. Orem, who is matched to tight :Tames El
hot for two thousand dollars and the championship
of American middle weights, gave a grand sparring
exhibition, on Saturday night, previously to going
into training for that important event He was as
slated by the celebrated Sack Parton, his trainer,
who has :just arrived from England; Alf. Walker,
formerly champion of the English feather weights ;
Jas. Sennett, and several other celebrities, who are
in the habit of hitting from the shoulder, and have
achieved well• earned and immortal fame thereby.
Franklin Hall, at which the exhibition was given,
is a place sacred to such displays, and is a large,
equate room, with seats for about five hundred par
cons. It has a small stage and a large bar, and is,
we believe, the only hall in the city which hat the
rules for its government framed, and conspicuously
hung upon the wall. These rules decfare that the
Hall shall not be hired for one evening fitr a
sum more or• less than ten - dollars, and that the
money must invariably be paid in advance, other
wise the gasshall invariably be turned down, "thus
depriving the delinquent petties of an evening's
entertainment." Suit a rule may Seem stern and
heartless, but we presume the proprietor of the
Hall, though naturally a tender-hearted man, sax
ious to make mankind and womankind happy, has
had his heart hardened by frequent ingratitude.
The rule, however, is superfluoue, when the hall
is hired by first-class sparrers, who are not likely to
be banktupt for so small a sum, and who would car
fishily, we trust, not permit the gas to be turned off,
even if they were. It would be a bold man who
would say to the celebrated Jack Parton, for in.
stance, "Sir, the gas will be turned ofr." Such an
insult to the good faith of a first-class sparrer would
inevitable result in injury to the conk of the in
sulter.
Entering the hall, we knew by the smoke, which
so gracefully curled, that cigars were not positively
prohibited, and saw through the dense fog fit
audience, but few, of a mixed nature, nine or
ten army officers, a number of gentlemen, and a
large minority of roughs. No clergymen or, la
dies were present; nor was a policeman to be seen—
proof of the great confidence reposed in the respecta•
bility of the principals. Indeed, had any evil disposed
person or persons attempted disturbance, the cele•
brated Jack Parton or the invincible Alf. Walker
would have speedily restored quiet, according to the
golden rule of the Prize Ring, which is to hit in the
eye ball, bin}, any loafer whose clothes don't fit him,
and who won't listen to the calm voice of reason, or
the solemn warnings of offended propriety. But
greatly to the credit of the audience, and to the ar
rangements of the able and gentlemanly James
Carroll, Esq., Master of Ceremonies, no symptom of
a row was observed, nor did any young man attempt
to drink without paying for his liquor.
At it was some time before the exhibition began,
we occupied the interval in studying the drop
curtain, which is one of the finest works of art in
the city. An Italian villa in the foreground, is
shaded by American sycamores, and in the distance
is a gothic cathedral, overlooking the lake of Como,
upon which a Carthagenian galley is sailing agsinst
the wind: Upon a marble pavilion gracefully stands
a troubadour• who tinkles a light guitar ; we espe
cially admired his fora shortened legs, which were
certainly a mile apart. We became so much in
toreetsd in this artistic perspective, and in calcula
ting what the troubadour must have paid for his
pantaloons, that we were really sorry when
the curtain was rung up, and revealed the
master of ceremonies, and the young gentlemen
with gloves on, who, upon being introduced to the
audience, shook hands and began at once to dance
around each other in approved pugilistic fashion.
This "set-to" was rapidly followed by several brit
tient little skirmishes, by other young pugilists,
with many amusing rounds. We were delighted
With the good humor of the combatants, who went
to grass and sent to graze with equal satisfaction.
The heavier the blows the greater their enjoyment,
so that we inferred that a kick frora a horse, or a blow
with a crowbar, would have made any of them
happy for life.. Still, we would not advise any
benevolent old gentleman with a crowbar to use it
for their benefit. In the "windup " of one of these
" Seta. to," one of the sparrers was knocked off his
pins by a " rattler "on the "dial." He left the
stage, with a beaming countenance, envied by the
fancy part of the spectators.
. The celebrated Jack Parton, who has appeared
With credit in the English ring, now appeared, strip
ped to the waist, and glorious in muscle. His oppce
nent was a gentleman from the army, by no means
his match, though making a veryfair fight. Jack is
short, stout, solid, as light as a grasshopper, and as
quick as lightning. Ile sent out his left arm like a
catapult, and caught his opponent's. blows on his
right with startling dextrally. In the " wind up"
the military gentleman struck out boldly, bat with
out success; Jack returning...his blow with precision
on the mouth ; or, to express oureelves more clearly,
Mars, pushing out his favorite duke, was neatly
stopped by Jack's right duke, J s ack, with his left
duke, countering with a rattling sounder on the
potato-trap, and planking heavily on the conk, ogle 3,
dial, and ribs. Mars, getting away, could not save
hie nob, and Jack, with both dukes, finished on the
gob. Alter this contest, it was not long before
Jack had an opportunity of meeting Orena, whose
ability may be inferred, from the fact that in his
match with Enoch Davis, in Colorado Territory, he
broke four of the said Davis' ribs. In the celebra
ted Jack Parton Orem had no mean antagonist,
and the entertainment closed with a charming dis
play of scientific sparring, In which Jack's calm,
quiet, and graceful style of hitting people on the nose
won him great applause. Mr. Orem, however, object
ing to it, taught his trainer that there were two noses
on the stage, and two pairs of gloves. Thus closed
this noble exhibition of the manly art, of which
the only failure was the non. annearance of Mr. Alf
Walker, who was unable, from temporary sickness,
to show how nobs are cracked, and peepers closed,
and battles lost and won.
At ten o'clock the audience departed, and with a
last, long-lingering look at the curtain, abandoned
the hall to dazkness and the troubadour, who, we
trust, under the cover of night withdrew his fore
elk:utensil leg from that preternatural distance.

The Times says : " Mr. Wollenhaupt was universally
respected for his brilliant musical abilities, and be
loved for the noble and, generous qualities which
adorned his character. Those endeared him to all
who knew him, but, though his well-merited suc
cesses may have caused some a jealous pang, it is
probable that he had not one enemy in the world.
Hermann A. Wollenhaupt was born at Schkendits.
province of Saxony, Prussia, in 1827. His rare
musical talents brought him early before the public,
and he achieved signal successes wherever he ap
peered. In 1845 he came to New Yolk, where his
piano performances at the Philharmonic, and other
concerts, rapidly gained for him a brilliant teaching
connection, so that in two years he was enabled
to send for his parents and his brother and
sisters. These he educated and maintained de
voting all his energies and means to their
comfort and advancement. Observing great ta
lent in his brother Bruno, he sent him to Germany
to study, keeping him there seven years, until he
had achieved the position of a first• class artist. Du
ring the years of his residence in this city, Hermann
Wollenhaupt produced a large number of brilliant
piano compositions, which have become famous, not
only in this country, but throughout all Europe.
They have become standard works, and have made
his name respected wherever they are known. The
art has lost much by his sudden and untimely death,
and no one can calculate the deep grief that follows
him to his grave from his home circle and his hosts
of friends. His life was one of utter devotion and
selitsacrifice, and he has surely met his reward,
where deeds and not words are considered in a life's
account He was buried in CypressHllls Cemetery,
and his funeral was attended by every musician of
eminence inthe city. On the day of his funeral all
the principal music stores and piano stores were
closed as a mark of respect to his memory."
Mr. Anschutz will give one performance at the
Brooklyn Academy of Music, on Thursday next, for
the purpose of introducing his new artists to the
public previously to their departure for Baltimore,
yhere the regular season of German opera begins
early in October.
Gottschalk begins a series of concerts at Irving
Hall, New York, to-night

American and Muscovite Governments, and that
the frigates in question have been sent hither to
take a hand on the part of the Union in ease John
Bull and Johnny Crapau become troublesome. The
'Russian minister at Washington has sent us a pri
