CHANOE OF LINE OP. POSITION
From the superior force of the enemy in our front
and the•great extent of line which the Federals were
necessarily foroed to defend, after holding the enemy
at bay for forty..eight hours, our lines were with
drawn within the support of the works which had
been throWn up . by the enemy previous to their eve
cuatiem of this place. The enemy having been se
verelf punislo in the late conflict, were slow in
following us VI our "present established line. They
no doubt claim a victory in the past severe engage
ment., Well, we will have to concede -it to them
thus far. They; with twice the number of the na
tionals, forded us from a portion of our front lines,
and when falling back for a more advantageous po
sition,jhe original battle-ground was left in the
bands 'of .the enemy, with a large portion of our
killed and wounded. But with the slaughter with
which the rebeLs were forced to sutler. they will not
soon ask or covet another such a case of success.
Such victories are anything but flattering to those
who have .partaken in the accomplishment. After
our retiring within the. rebel works, the, enemy
seemed to -reluctantly follow. They held back as if
to give ua full opportunity fora successful recrossing
of the Tennessee river. But General Rogecrans did
not see proper to take advantage of these favorable
designs of the enemy. On retiring to Chattanooga,
instead of placing the. Tennessee between his forces
and those of the rebels, heimmediately called around
him his generals, and in a few words explained to
them his future intended plans.
This place. is to be held at all hazards. We here
make the big fight, be the strength of the enemy
what it may , . Beyond this point the Army of the
Cumberland`will. riot retire while, there is a foe to
menace it. General St. Clair Morton, chief of en
gineers, immediately set about to put the place in a
defensible 'condition for the warm welcome of the
enemy. .
THE NEUTRAL GROUND. ZS' OUR 'MONT
For the purpose of a more perfect range in our im
mediate front, it has become our painful duty to burn
all the dwellings between the Federal lines and those
of the enemy. More than fifty buildings have been
levelled to the ground, some of which were quite
valuable, and the premises most beautifully orna
mented with all the surroundings of comfort and
pleasure. But all is now a complete waste ',every
thing has been levelled ' and destroyed. Houses,
trees, shrubbery, fences, and all, are gone,' made . to

THE STATES IN REBELLION,
The Yankees on the Palnunkey
[From the Richmond. Examiner, Sept. 25. 3
The Yankee hog and negro stealers made another
water raid up the Pamunkey river on Friday morn
ing last, and captured a small pleasure steamer and
two pontoon's. The steamer is about four tone bur
den, and anchored at General Lee's farm, about ten
miles by water above Weft Point, at nine o'clock
on Thursday night, and remained until next morn
ing, when she commenced getting up steam about
seven o'clock. Before she got ready. to start two
Yankee gunboats turned the point a short distance
below, and in less than ten minutes were up with
the little steamer, which is Called the Ellen John
son. The owner of the boat attempted to sink her
by having the plug taken out, but ,did not succeed,
and the Yankees soon-got alongside, coining very
rapidly with the flood tide.
The owner, ]tlr. Dickins, and Capt. Dick Brook
made their escape, but the engineer, Capt. Smack,
of Richmond, remained, strange to say, though
urged by the owner to leave, and was soon captured.
They soon landed a vulgar, low•bred, negro•asso
elating lieutenant and . marines, who sought In vain
to find the remainder of the crew, tiring shot and
shellat random. They sent two negro sailors ashore
to persuade General Lee's servants to leave with
them, but they refused to go and associate with a
Yankee race so much their inferior in social post;
tion. They told them if they would go they would
make officers, drummers, fifers, &to., of them; but
the darkies had seen Yankees before, and knew well
their base-characteristics. They took Mr. Collins,
General Lee's overseer, and for what cause no one
can tell, as be had nothing to do with the expedition
of the steamer.
The lieutenant was in a bad humor, having heard
of General Bragg's, Magruder's, and Dick Taylor's
late victories. He shot all the geese, ducks, and a
large sty hog, and took them-on board. They then
took their departure shelling right and left set fire
to a house in New Kent, stopped at West Point, ar
rested Mr. James I', New, and carried him on board.
They next went up the Mattapony river about ten
miles, stopped at Mr. Robinson's, searched his
small boat,
stole a smallboat, shelled the country, and returned
at night to,West Point.
We may look out for the Northern papers' to con
tain General Dix's omelal report of a grand naval
expedition, and the capture of a large Confederate
steamer, as he made a flourishing report when they
burned, in January last, one of the same size.

Femur Maar meta SOUTH.—The Standard con
tinues to encourage and publish the proceedings of

in the present crisis of our affairs, is 'to go for the
Constitution Emit is , and the -

and all like impracticable nonsense.
Yet the Standard pretends to say- that it is not for

be overrun and subjugated, even, indeed, if a great
calamity has not already nearly befallen us, and
then insists that it is better to go back to the old
Union with our "half brothers" of the North than
be subjugated. And yet he pretends to be a friend
to Southern independence.
He says to the people of the North we will-nego

are invading our country with fire and sword, de

TITS RESULT
[Prom the Richmond Examiner. 3
A battle on the Rapidan is not the ndeessary se
quel ot conflict on the Chickamauga. Meade is one
of those leaders who risk nothing. He has gained a
reputation above his merit by the affair - at Gettys
burg, and will not lose it if caution can preserve his
laurel. The belief that his army has been rapidly
depleted to reinforce Busecrans appears to be, sup
ported by all intelligence of an authentic character.
No. doubt can be entertained that every available
man will be rapidly concentrated at Chattanooga,
and that the second act of the sanguinary drama of
Tennessee and Georgia is yet tohe seen..
The battle of the Chickamauga is finished. It was
an unquestionable victory for the Confederates.
Yet there is little rejoicing over it. What are the
results, the people ask, except a considerable num
ber of dead men' There are others. First of all,
the greatest design of the war has been defeated ;,
the Confederacy is not cleft in twain ; Georgia and
Alabama are saved, for the time at least; = The se•
cord and chief gain is purely moral, but it ;is im
mense. It has satisfied Europe that the Confedera
cy didnet die at Gettyeburg, and was not buried in
the Mississippi ; it has proven to the North that the
Southern cause has not collapsed ;.that no disabling
wound has been inflicted on our organization t and
that our armies are still fighting machines of tre
mendous power.
So far so good. But it cannot be denied that the
results are not all we had reason to anticipate from
the success in the field. The enemy hold Matta.

is the essential possession of Chattanooga, and Gen.

of Ulm. But another battle must be fought, and
another victory gained, before that conclusion can
be reached. If Rosecrans can only maintain him.

Eventful History of - a Soldier W omau.
[From the Grand Rapids Eagle.
Mrs. Frances Louisa Clayton called at the pro
vost marshal's office in this city, on Thursday, with
letters from officers, to procure a pass to her home in
Minnesota. Mrs. Clayton r enlisted as a private,
with her husband, in a Minnesota regiment, some
two years since. She was in Rosecriina' army, and
did full duty as a soldier, for nearly a year before her
sex was discovered. While in the army, the better to
conceal her sex, she learned to drink, smoke, chewii
and swear with the best or worst of the soldiers.:•
She stood guard, went on picket duty, in rain aruP
storm, and fought on the field with the rest, and was
considered a good fighting man. . .
At the battle of Stone rifer, whilemakinga charge
her husband was instantly killed by a ball,-just five
paces in front of her, in the front rank. She charged
over his body with the rear line, driving thhfiebels
with the bayonet, but was soon struck wittLa ball
in the hip. and conveyed to the hoopital.' Cd'recov

the 3d of .Tanuary last, and sent North. (lathe way

MEXICO.
The Proclamation. of General Dohlado.
Manuel Doblado, Governor of the State of Gua
najuato, has addressed a proclamation to its inhabi
tants, calling upon them to resist the French tyranny.
This is a document Very earnest and very able, and
demonstrates beyond denial the perfidy of the
French', Emperor. We extract a few passages of
speCial intereeto,lThe Governor proclaims:
Force is not right. It is necessarylo repeat this
principle a thousand times, however trite it may
seem. Force disposed •isiany years ago of Poland ;
but the rights of the Polearstill exist, and only burst
forth the more brilliantly each time the fire of
insurrection appears: E
The Emperor Napoleon has had the power to in
vade Mexico, but he has no right to convert it into
a colony of France. • It has been attempted to found
a right , upon the unhappy condition of the Republic
and upon its-continualrevolutions.
But this is only the sophistry of bad faith, in
a bush even its authors do not believe. It is true
that we have committed many errors, and that all
parties, in attempting to put in practice their re
spective theories, have railed, devoured by the revo
lutionary spirit. But only the Mexicans have a
right to complain of these evils. The right to re
proach is exclusively our own. Foreigners have no
right to take cognizance of our domestic dissen
sions, and still less to bring charges against us for
acts done in theexercise of ournational sovereignty.
The invader well knows these truths, and it is for
thie reason that each step he takee in' the country
he repeats the deceitful watchword of his designs :
"We do not come- to impose a - Government upon
Mexico ; we come to protect the free choice of that
the Mexicans wish to give themselvee." This hy
pocritical pretence does not merit refutation; it has
already been set aside by the nation ea masse, when
it laughed with acorn at the news of the monarchy
of Maximilian.
The good sense of the inhabitants of the country
has comprehended that there cannot be freedom
where there is compulsion; that the French army is
not a protector, but a usurper ; that these phrases,
with which it is sought to deceive the people, are
.only the set phrases which conquerors in all times
have used with lying, tongues ; diplomatic expedi
ents invented in order to paralyze resistance;
invo
luntary confessions, but very significant of our right
to freely govern ourselves without the intervention
of any tortign influence whatever.
For an enterprise so grand and holy no co-opera
tion should be refused—no individual should be re
jected. Under the flag of independence, for the first
time thrown to the breeze by the venerable curate
Miguel Hidalgo, all political parties have a place,
for under its shadow there is harm only to traitors.
To-day I call upon all the inhabitants of the State,
whether conservatives, moderados, or liberals, to
lend their services, each one in the sphere which
may be possible to the cause of independence. Tee.
day disappear with political hatreds all the unhappy
denominations born of civil war. In the bloody
struggle upon-which we have now to enter there are
only two distinctions which , can henceforth be
known—Mexicans, or Frenchmen. and traitore—in-
vadere or invaded, freemen or slaves.' It is 4 not a
sense of peril which eounsels me to this invocation
to fraternity. During the three years of my admin
istration, tolerance has been a practical - truth in the
State of Guanajuato, where the same respect and
the same guarantees have been enjoyed by men of
all shades of opinion, and from all the States. If it
were not unworthy of a Government to pronounce
its own panegyric, I could recount to you a thou
sand acts which testify that the idea of, a universal
fusion has formed one of the cardinal bases of my ad
. .
ministration.- -
Further on, Doblado asks :
What would have become of Spain in 1808 if she
had stopped to consider the number and the strength
of the French armies which had been perfidiously in
troduced into her principal cities and fortreases be
fore she had commenced her glorious uprising?
What would Mexico -now be if the father of our'
independence had stopped to calculate the immense
resources of the crown of Spain, and the poverty
with which he wee surrounded the moment when
he proclaimed our emancipation?
Gen. Doblado acknowledges the weakness of
Mexico, but recognizes inexorable duty. "We can
not lose our independence with honor without
having defended it to the last extremity. Then, and
only then, can we transmit to our sons the rights of
rebellion against their oppressors. The proclama
tion eloquently concludes
Fellow-citizens, the conqueror comet boasting
that his steps will be marked by peace, by, secu
rity, and by abundance, Let us wait a little, and
our deceived brothers will be restored to themselves,
when they see that all these promises are deceitful,
that they are only the delusive utterances of an ac
complished trickster.
Our destiny-Is-war. Let us enter then upon the
struggle with the dignity , of freemen, with the
courage of independent Mexicans, and with faith in
God, who will never abandon the cause of justice.
The future is 'lark because it is &future of sacri
fices, but the reward is imperishable, it is the glory
I of Hidalgo and of Ituibide.
Posterity will judge us all, and when this epoch of
passions and of hatreds shall have passed away, it
will honor with posthumous impartiality those
Mexicans who have died defending theindependence
of their country, and the traitors who have coward
ly sought to deliver it over to the French, covered
with opprobrium and with ignominy.

An Anti-Slavery Englishman's Expe-
r ence.
Mr. - Edward Mathews, who once committed the
terrible sin of carrying a parcel of - Mr. Beecher's
anti slavery tracts in his pocket, while making a
visit in the South, thus recalls the memory of his
experiences through the columns of the London
Daly News:
In February, ISM, I visited Richmond, and, by
invitation of the colored minister, preached to the
colored congregation. At the close, I found a mob
of .white people surrounding the chapel, who told
me they had listened to my sermon, and had ar
ranged to rush in, and drag me from the pulpit,
hal? I uttered a word on the slavery question.
They were armed with clubs, and many of
them had concealed their faces with their hand
kerchiefs. They required me to leave that place
in fifteen minutes, under the penalty of being
tarred and feathered. This was for having in my
pocket some antislavery tracts, written by the Rev.
H. W. Beecher. Two days afterwards I passed
through the town, on my way to an appointment at
Great Hill, and had walked about a mile beyond it
when four of the Richmond citizens, mounted on
horses, overtook me, and compelled me to go with
them, under penalty of instant death. I went. We
descended to the bottom of- a valley—an out-of the.
way place. They bound my arms, and inquired if I
was an Abolitionist. I stated that I was not in favor
of the Slaves fighting for liberty, but desired by the
press and the pulpit to change public sentiment, and
bring about legal, emancipation. I was then blind.
folded, and a long discussion was held in my hearing
whether I should be hung or not.
Finally, very greatly to my relief, it was decided
that I should be taken to a pond near by. The
bandage was removed from my eyes, I was taken to
the pond, and my arms were unbound. I was thrown
in five times to compel me to promise to leave Ken
tucky and never return. As I steadily refused to do
set, it was resolved to flog me. I was bound to a tree
and again blindfolded. Then changing their minds,
they resolved to try the water again. I was unbound
from the tree, and removed the bandage from my
eyes myself. I was then thrown in five times more,
when, with what of life there.was in me, I promised
to leave Kentucky. They declared they would hang
me wherever they should find me if I ever came into
Kentucky again. I succeeded in getting safely.out
of the State. Of all the ministers in Kentucky, Mr.
Tree only disapproved of this barbarous treatment,
and he was driven out when John Brown was
hanged. I will only add that by such deeds the way
was prepared for the attempted organization of the
man-stealing Confederacy ; and that in the recent
battles at Richmond, that very pond, I have no
doubt, has been reddened with the blood of wounded
soldiers. I am, k.c.. ED WARD MATHE WS.

,town on the 24th of September, arrived at this por
this morning.
The dates per the City of London are one day
later than those per the Bavaria.
The steamships City of Baltimore and Glasgow,
both from New York, arrived at Liverpool on the
23d of September.
The news ip a confrmed that Mr. Mason, the minis
ter of the Confederate States, has withdrawn from
England.
The London Tines, in alluding to the subject,
says:
" The Confederates are offended with England for
trying to keep in the right. We are sorry for it.
The lose, however, is theira, while the relief to the
British nation ia great and she will have nOthing.to
repent."
The Paris Moniieur had created ,a great ogensation.
by publishing the manifesto:. of the Polish Natibnal
Government, of ~the 16th cifLiliigust. - This was re
garded as a virtual recognition of the. Poles by
Fiance.
A mowded antislavery meet , g" had been.held at
_Leeds. Reeolutione were, adopted, that the war in
America was shaping itself into one for the de
struction of slavery; also denouncing the building
of ships•of•war for the. Confederates, and applaud
ing the Government for detaining those built.
The Tim& "city article" warns the British Go
vernment against going too far in stopping the
building of ships for the Confederates while fur
nishing munitions of war to the Federate. It adds:
"Such a course bears too much of a resemblance to
the views of Federal politicians."
Ea Fierce says that the Federal corvette %ear-
Barge, at Breat, will receive the same treatment as
that afforded to the Confederate steamer Florida.
Each vessel will enjoy the same rights and privi

SUMMARY OF THE STEAMER MONIS
NEWS.
The following is a summary of the news by the
steamship Sidon, which left Liverpool on the 22d,
and Queenstown on the .23d of September, but
which Teasel has not yet arrived.
LIVERTOOL, Sept. i:3.—Advices from St. Helena
dated the 6th of August; say that the steamer Ala
bama bad boarded the strip Havelock off the Cape
of Good Hope. It was also reported that she had
captured a bark, the name of which was not given,
to the eastward of the Cape, and fitted her out as a
privateer It was further reported that the steamer
Georgia was acting in concert with her.
The Er glish journals, with Southern sympathies,
begin to see signs of a collapse in the South. Even
the London Morning Herald admits that the last
news received from America shows that the numeri
cal weakness of the South is beginning to affect se
riously the operations of her armies.
The Times says that the fate of Charleston is vir
tually decided, but argues that the capture of that
city will not secure what the North requires.
The Confederate loan has suffered a relapse, and
is quoted at 30 to 25 per cent. discount, under the
American advices received by the B ;eamship Jura.
It is reported that the new IVlex Man loan will be
twenty or twentpfour millions sterling. --
The Times editorially , assumes that the Archduke
Maximilian will ascend the throne of Mexico, and
that the British Government will aelmorviedge.end
favorjthe reorganization of the Government of that
country.
The reply
of Russia to France is published. It is
the same in effect as that to England; but Prince
Gortschakoff tells Drouyn de i'Huys that Russia
cannot permit of provinces to which no international
stipulations apply being'even incidentally alluded to.
Nailing is known as to the next step that will be
taken by the three great Powers, France, England,
and Austria, in regard to the Polish question. It
is smarted that Count Rechberg, of Austria, advisee
that no reply be sent, but to await the acts of Russia.
The Paris Petrie urges that the reply of France
to liuszia be the recognition of the Poles as belli
gerents.
Insurrectionary movements in Poland continue
active.
The Patrie also urges - that .preliminary steps be
taken to place the army on. a war footing.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S LETTER CONSIDERED IN
ENGLAND.
[From the London Star. ]
The text of President Lincoln's letter to the
Springfield Convention justifies at once our distrust
of its telegraphic abstract and our confidence in the
writer. If it disappoints the expectation of imme
diate peace, it confirms our faith in the man who
has the conduct of the war. It offers no new in
ducement to the Southern States to return to their
allegiance—neither does it attempt to placate the
Northern opponents of the Federal Government.
But it places in the clearest, strongest light, the
wicked unreasonableness of the rebellion and the
religious duty of all loyal citizens. As a vindication
of the Washington Cabinet, it is a master-piece of
cogent argument. As an appeal to the spirit of the
nation, it is sublime in the dignified simplicity of its
eloquence. No nobler State paper was ever penned.
It is the manifesto of a truly great man in an exi
gency al almost unequalled moment. It is worthy
of a Cromwell or a Washington.
It breathes the cairn heroism of a Christian pa
triot, trusting in the blessing of God upon dauntless
exertions in a just cause. It is such as Garibaldi and
Mazzini might have written from .'Rome if events
had placed them at the head of an Italian common
ealth threatened by a formidable combination of
enemies to its freedom and integrity. It is the ut
terance of a statesman who has nothing to conceal ;
of a ruler guiltless of oppression ; of the genius
that consists in transparent honesty and unflinch
ing resolution. Addressed to friends and neigh
bors, to supporters and opponents, it is open to all
the world to reads -It really challenges the judgment
of cotemporary civilization, though it contains
scarce a hint Of any, country but the United States.
If it fail there to combine all parties in ardent ap.
prove' of the President's policy, it must be because
party differences are invincible to logic and per
suasion. But, abroad, it must immensely enlarge
and strengthen the evetgrowing sentiment in favor
of a Government that insists upon making citizens
of all its subjects,' and vindicating the supremacy of
the national will against groundless discontent and
a local insurrection.
[From the Daily Nesys.)
The incoherent and maundering paragraphs which
a bewildered telegraphist gave the world last Mon
day as the substance of Mr. Lincoln's letter, could
not have prepared our readers for the President's
lucid and cheerful statement of his views which we
published yesterday. The letter to the Union Com
mittee of Illinois is rather interesting than import-.
ant, because it is not an address to the nation, but
an explanation to parties. It is not an apology for
continuous and general failure, it is not the an
nouncement of new difficulties or a discussion of a
new policy, it is not an appeal for support to a de
spondent and hesitating ,community. It could not
be any of these things. Its
is character plainly ap
pears on its face. It a friendly address to the good
sense of the main body of the Democratic, and the
right wing of the Republican party, respecting some
points of the President's policy from which their
/numbers more or lees withhold their sympathy. It
is the success of the Union armies which makes such
an address timely.
The President's concluding wards are of peace.
His language on this point is firm and calm, as re
mote as possible from boasting or vain confidence.
tie hopes it will come soon, and come to stay, and
so come as to be worth keeping in all future time."
And if co, some precious results will follow. "It
will then have been proved that among freemen
there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to
the Millet, and that they who take such appeal are
sure to lose their case and pay the cost," Let the
people of the United States carry out thisdemon
stration' and they will have endowed the free na
tions of the world with a gift for which future gene
rations will bless them. May it "come soon, and
come to stay."
THE FRENCH NOTE TO PRINCE GORTSCHAEOPP
The penultimate paragraph of this despatch is
couched in an unmistakable tone of warning
.It ieniains at the same time to the Government
of the Emperor to discharge an. imperative duty; it
is to call his Excellency's most serious attention to
the gravity of the situation, and the responsibility
which it imposes upon Russia.
"Prance, Austria, and Great Britain have pointed
out the urgent necessity of putting an end to - a de
plorable state of things, which is full of danger to
Europe. Thep have at the same time indicated the
means which, in their opinion, ought to be em
ployed to arrive at this termination, and they have
offered their co-operation in order to attain it with
more certainty. If Russia does not perform all that
depends upon her to further the moderate and con
ciliatory views of the three Powers, if she does
not enter upon the path which is opened to her by
friendly counsels, she makes herself responsible for
the serious consequences which the prolongation of
the troubles of Poland may produce."

Gen. Schenck on cc Arbitrary Arrests."
In the course of a very interesting speech, at Day
ton, Ohio, Gen. Schenck said:
And I may here say, that in the summer of 1861, r
foresaw something, of what was going on—that
there was a body of men among us who, frightened
by the great swell:of public sentiment, had been car
ried with the mass of the people into presenting an
unbroken front to the enemy who were seeking to
destroy us—but I saw here and there symptoms- .
thatthis opposition to the rebellion was not to be
lasting, that it was, at least in great part, hypo--
critical. Soon it became apparent that the great
questions before the country were to be subordi
nated to the petty inquiry_ whether this or that
party could be put up or down,-= by the current of
public feeling. I saw menUredually feeling the
public mind, in bringing aboutithis condition; and
among them I marked. Mr. Vallandigham, and
being stationed in the neighborhood ,- of Wash- .

duty required the arrest of that man, and his re-

belief that if he were arrested, and proper aearob.

would be found which would ,show that:he was es

THE .11.iiANCiP.AT/OIC PROCLAJLA.44ON. .
But again: they tell you you Must not take their
negioes. I cannot understand such doctrine. when
the rebel assails me, I would have his kettle to kick
him, biz deg to bite him, his cow t 6 gore him, and
his negro to fight him, in order 'that:l could over
come him in the struggle. I tell-you there has been
a great change of sentiment in this particular during
the past few months. In the Cittr pfMaltimore, the
department to which I was assigned, I saw an ex
hibition of mob violence some five months ago, when
a negro dressed in the United States uniform passed
through the city on his way to join his regiment.
He was attacked and brutally treated, simply be
cause he wore the uniform which the Government
had given him when he entered into her service
against the rebels. But two weeks since, I saw a.
whole regiment of colored men marching and driliirq
on a public street, and a crowd of citizens was quiet
ly watching them with interest. And this is not all,
for in a few weeks more we shall expect to have, in
stead of a single regiment of colored men, a whole
brigade- How is it that in the city of Baltimore the
people are so soon become- reconciled to colored
Soldiers? It is because the people of the alavehold
tog, States have more sense than the cupid Copper
heads of Dalton.
The Revolution in St. Domingo.
'THE CRIME OF BPAWISH am.
[Prom the Turks Island Standard, Sept. MI
The revolution assumes a more serious aspect
every day. With the exception of the seaport towns
of St. Domingo City, Samana, and Puerto Plats,
the whole country has revolted. One thing is cer
tain, that St. Domingo is passing through one of
those crises, ut of which it will emerge to new life
or to helpless and hopeless decay. What is to be
the end of the present convulsion we are not able
to predict. Neither its remote nor its immediate
results can 'be insignificant. From what we learn,
the Spaniards seem confident that they will soon
suppress the rebellion; but they can imagine such a
termination to the present strife far more easily
than they can achieve it. We are informed that
the Dominicans are commanded by able leaders ; that
they are generally well supplied with arms and fittil
munition of good quality ; that they have a suffi
cient commissariat; and, actuated with the utmost
enthusiasm, are unanimously resolved to drive from
their soil every vestige of the presence of their op
pressors. It is well known that the physical ohs,
racter of the island is such that a small force of na
tives can easily dispute, and successfully prevent,
the passage of large numbers of troops to the inte
rior; and we are told that the insurgents are in the
beet of spirits, and feel confident of such a reauft.,.
Were we to dwell upon these hopeful symptoms,
and to argue from promising . beginnings to corre
sponding issues, we may be warranted in cherishing
the belief that the Dominicans will succeed. Look
ing at St. Domingo through the prism of hope rather
than the telescope of fear, and in the spirit of an en
lightened philanthropy, we candiscem no obstacle ea
the progress of that island which a good government
might not easily obviate or remove—why human in
dustry should not revive, why its rivers ahould.not
be opened, why commerce should not visit - fair its
harbors and the world witness the glories of a re
generated land.
- We confess, however, that we do not expect slick
results from`the,. present Government. If anything
were wanted to complete our contempt the sonars
pursued by the Spanish authoritle i e have it in
their detestable conduct towardtWolpred people of
Puerto -Plata; on many of whiies„persoas and pro
vi
perties "the most fearful excesseian horrid bru
talities were - committed by. S ...• soldiery."
Hundreds of persons in no way conic d,,aarwe are
informed, with the Insurrection. have hew obliged.
to abandon the land of their birth and lover and seek
a refuge in this and other colonies; and 14 have
well-authenticated accounts of many others who
have fallen victims to the unpitying, rage of the
Spanish patrols that traversed the ' streets, 001:13,
mittiv g the greatest excesses of spoliation and
bloodshed.
The worst passions of the human soul were let
loose, and the cry was, b nod! blood ! blood! and not
until two or three days had elapsed did the officers
make any efforts to mitigate these cruelties. De
fenceless women and children were driven from
their dwellings, which became an easier prey to the
spoiler and the bodies of those who had been mur
dered were thrown into the public streets, and base
ly insulted after death. It is not known how many
were murdered, but the number is by no means in
significant. Such is the ruthless and savage van
dalism which civilized Spain had sent to St. Do
mingo. Her soldiers would occupy no place in the
memories of men, if they had not sounded depths of
wickedness beyond the common experience of man
kind. Their fame is the fame of infamy.
Frightii►l Occurrence in Nevada.
The most frightful occurrence in many years
took place at Austin, Nevada Territory, recently,
and is thus related by the Territorial Enterprise:
Among the employees of Mr. Russell, the Miillnalt
at Austin, was an emigrant named Cornell, a peace
able, quiet person, and very well liked by such as
knew him. For the past three weeks he had shown
symptoms of insanity, and, although these were
not of a nature to excite much attention, it was
deemed best to deal with him with caution.
He went to bed on Saturday night last about eight
o'clock, and about ten o'clock his tent mate fol
lowed his example. Fearful of exciting Cornell if
be entered his tent abruptly, the man first awakened
him by calling him softly by name; he then drew
aside the curtain and was in the act of stepping in,
when Cornell struck him a blow with an axe, which
cut his nose and forehead badly, and almost felled
him to the ground. Recovering in a moment, how
ever, he ran for his life, and Cornell after him; but
the latter stumbled over a rope and fell. and the
accident enabled his victink.to escape. The mad
man ran down into the midanf the tewn, entered a
crowded saloon, and began to lay about him with
his axe, bestowing blows on any that came in his
The first cut a man's arm badly ; the second severed
another's hand from the wrist the third inflicted a.
wound upon a bystander's head; also smashed the
chandelier, shrouding the saloon in total.darknesai
in a moment. The invisible scene that ensued was
of the wildest description. The crowd broke with
one impulse toward the door, making chaos of
chairs, tables, and everything that was susceptible.
of being dismembered, and were met there by
another crowd, attracted to the spot by the shrieks
and shouts of the wounded, who appeared as anxious
to get into the saloon as their brethren were to-get
out. Somebody in the saloon, in the hope of dis
persing the new corners by the wholesome fear of
fire-arms, discharged a pistol, which had the effect of
increasing the panic at least. But, in the meantime,
the crazy man had escaped.
As the news spread abroad the citizens, by com
mon consent, took shelter behind bolted doors, and
awaited the coming of the destroyer with whatever
of comfort the circumatancee permitted. After a
while a man came running from the direction of
Clinton, with a ghastly wound in the side of his
head which_bad almost taken off one of his ears.
He only begged for water, and was too much stunned
to answer questions intelligently. When some
what recovered, he said that, as he was coming from.
Clinton, a man came running by, struck him with
an, axe, and continued his flight without stopping.
The man, whose name Dlr. Frankenthal had for
gotten, will probably recover. A posse of citizens,
armed with- revolvers, started at once in pursuit,
but they were too late. Cornell had slaughtered
three foot passengers already between Austin and
Clinton.
Nothing more was seen of him till early next
morning, when his body was found about half a.
mile beyond the village, with his throat cut from
ear to ear—in fact, the head was half severed from
the body, the windpipe was cut in two, the back of
the head was crushed in,
and about the heart were
five stabs , - either one of which was, perhaps, suffi
cient to cause death.
Reports from Washington.
[Correspondence of the Tribune.
It can do no harm now to nay that the ariange
=cuts for forwarding troops from Washington to the
Department of the Cumberland have been brought
to such perfection that the soldiers who left here on

to render effective assistance to General Ilusessana,
who has by 'ads time received heavy reinforce.
merits.
It is now expected that the first batch of the cir
culating notes for'the national hanks will be ready
by the 10th of November. Preparations for the
printing of the interestbearing legal•tender notes
are in a considerably less forward condition.
Gentlemen 'who ara accustomed to watch the cur
rent of European politics, and are in receipt of
private correspondence from well-informed sources
abroad, predict that a great and general war, grow
ing out of the PAM question, will convulse Europe
by next spring. It is believed at St. Petersburg that
Russia will then have one million men under arms,
and will be prepared for any emergency. It is con
jectured here that the true explanation of the ap..
.pearance of Russian vessels•ofwar in our waters.,
is to secure them from being blockaded in home
ports, as was the case during the Crimean war.
Tuts DEPARTMENT or TES 18.-It 113 very probable
that Major General lieintzelman will be immediate
ly relieved from the command of the Department of
Washington, and placed in command of that of Tex
as, for which he is well fitted by long service there.
It is understood that either General. Barnard or
General Sickles will succeed Heintzelman in the.
command of this department. It twinged that Ge
neral Barnard should be selected on account of his
familiarity with the relative strength and value of
all the fortifications, as they have been located and
constructed under his supervision as the - chief engi
neer of the defences of Washington, and he tweets*.
rily knowsmore about them than any one else.
A CIACIOUS THEORY OP TIOt DOICATIOIi OP Tait
Wen.—The Rev. John Gilbert, of Clay county.
Kentucky, writes to a friend in Frankfort, giving a.
curious theory with regard to the duration of the
present war. In his letter he says
"During the Revolutionary War corn blades had
seven points to them, that is, the bladOgrew in.such
a manner as to have seven distinct points or ends
corresponding with the sharp ;point of the blade..
These seven points indicated the duration of the Re.
volutionarY War. Now there are but three separate
and distinct points to many of the blades, and this
indicates, very clearly to my mind, that the duration
of the present war will be three years—the points of
