In witness whereof, I have hereunto set , my hand and caused the seal of , the United States to be affixed. _ Done at the city of Washington, this seventeenth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thou-. sand eight hundred and sixty three, and of the in dependence of the United States the eightpeighth. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.. By the President, WILLIAM H. SEWA.RD, Secretary of State A National Party the Sole Protection of the Union. To the great conspiracy to destroy the Government we are indebted for many evils, but for one blessing, which, in the end, will be the highest good to the nation. The re bellion, in seeking to destroy the Government, has actually strengthened its power, and added to its security, for it has summoned to its de fence the entire loyalty of the people. Pre viously, for many years, the Government had not fully embodied the strength of the nation, for each Administration had teen the exclusive possession of a party, which sometimes used its power with moderation, but too.often with injustice. Each party in turn ruled the Government ; each party was ruled by prejudice. This political tyranny - European statesmen declared to be the weakness of the Republic, and Southern. treason proved their declarations true. Had not the GOvernment been corrupted and de graded -by Mr. BUCHANAN'S prostitution of its influence to the service of Southern slavery—had it been as strong three years ago as it is to-day, there would have been no rebellion. , • The Administration of Mr. LINCOLN is virtually the strongest of the century, sole ly because it represents, more than any other, the patriotism of the people. It is not strong because of the Republicanism which originally-placed it in office, but from its su periority to all parties, and the pure nation ality of its basis. Had its elements been simply political, where now would have been our hopes, and how could it have ap pealed to loyal men of all party creeds, and gained their unqualified support ? The stain less knight,' Sir Galahad, could say, "My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure ;" the strength of the Go. - vernment is - sufficient to crush rebellion, to rebuke foreign interference, to uphold the honor and prosperity of the country, because the spirit of national devotion inspires it, and it has for its sublime object the preser vation of the American Union. No party administration could have secured the late triumphs through the North, and it is certain that if ever again a sectional and narrow party obtains possession of the Government, the strength of the people will desert it. The ablest of our statesmen may say, "It is not I that am great, but my country." It is, therefore, thud that we must pluck the flower safety from the nettle danger, and assure the permanence of the Republic by maintaining it on this unshaken basis. For years to come, perhaps forever, it will be criminal in the American people to give into the control of party the power which they only eftnt rightly use. Taught wisdom by' the mighty danger of the present, we must, for the future, unite as men who love their country, and, so far as the National Govern ment' of the Union demands their support, Re publicans must cease to be Republicans, and Democrats to be Democrats. The National Union party—if we must use the name party must remain the protection and the proof of our loyalty. In such a party no sectional interests can be placed above the interests of the nation—no narrow politician can rise to power ;to be loyal is to belong to it. It is a party which sustains the Government— which is, in fact; the governing power of the Union. It is the only party to which a true patriot can now belong—which can maintain the dignity and rights of the Re public, making its futnre nobler than the past, and assuring to the humblest of Ameri ca= an equal interest in the glory and pros perity of his country. The Two IJampaigno. We accept the victorious issue of the cam paign just closed in Pennsylvania as some thing more than a mere augury of victory in the campaign about to commence in Virginia. The defeat of Mr. Justice WOODWARD does not simply foreshadow the defeat of General LEE, but contributes very materially and directly to accomplish such a result. It will serve to inspire the noble. Army, of the Potomac to fresh deeds of heroism, as it has'furnished them a fresh Assurance that their toils, and privations, and dangers have been appreciated by 'their friends and brothers at home. They have now the encouraging reflection, that, how ever powerful may be the enemy in their front, the enemy in their rear is henceforth powerless; and that the necessity of weaken ing their ranks to keep that enemy in check, as Was the case in New York not long ago, will not occur in Pennsylvania. They can rest assured now, that instead of wasting their strength, in garrisoning disloyal cities in the North, they will be enabled to con centrate and hurl•it against the rebel armies in the south. Tlenceforth a new spirit must animate their ranks, for never since the war began have they seen a more unmistakable expression of the popular "resolve that it shall, be continued' with unabated vigor to a glorious termination. 'They must feel that if they but accomplish their portion of the task as nobly as we have accomplished ours, the goal towards which we are striving in common must soon'be reached. The Con sciousness-that we have not sought to evade any part of our duty; that we have not been idle while they toiled, that we are working with them, must have a powerful influence' for good upon the morale of our troops; and we expect to see a glorious manifestation of it in the coming engagement in Virginia. • In fact, the two campaigns are not so much anolagous as identical—identical in the com batants arrayed against each other; iden tical in the objects sought to, be attained, b'y each ; identical in the influenee their results must exercise on the future of the nation. In each case the contest is between free and loyal Ametican citizens, struggling for the Government of their fathers, on the one side, and disloyal American citizens, slaves to the of sectionalism, and struggling for the disruption of the Government, on the other. In each case the, triumph of the former would be a guarantee that the Union. shall endure, while the succetis of the latter would mean dissolution of the Union, anarchy, and, the establishment of a foreign despotism upon the ruins of American liberty. The people were not blind to the nature of the issue, and, breaking the Shacklei of parfy, they cast their voice for the side of honor, of safety, and of Union. They have won the campaign for the Union in Penn sylvania ; they, have baffled the traitors North and South ; they have effectually dis appointed the rebel calculation of French intervention, and they could not have more decidedly declared against the possibility of such an event being tolerated had the Monroe Doctrine itself been the platform upon which they elected their candidates to office. More than this, Pennsylvania, by the noble stand she has taken at this time for the Republic, has practically given to England an injunction as to her necessity: of preserving in the future at least the show of neutrality observed towards us in the past. Earl RUSSELL in his speech of the 28th ult., at Blairgowie, Scotland, printed in our columns several days ago, said: "Her Ma jesty's Government are prepared to do every thing that the duty of - .neutrality requires— everything that is just to a friendly nation, taking :as a principle that we should do to others as we should wish to be done to our selves." When the result of the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and lowa, come to be known in England, public senti ment, however divided upon the question of our civil war, will unanimously decide that Earl RUSSELL, in so speaking for, the British Goveixtment, has placed it in the most honorable and safest attitude which it could assume towards this country. It is only necessary to exhibit our strength to the world to gain its respect. - When we show to the people of Europe that we are united, that we still have a Government, and are determined to maintain its authority, we shall dispeltheir ignorance, and regain their friendship. These elections are the best diplomatic circulars we can send forth to the world. Their language is unmistaka ble, and their purport clears They embody .the views of the people fully ; without the ornament of rhetoric it is true, but without its ambiguity ; and in a hundred ways they directly tend as well to unfold to foreign eyes the true nature of the struggle for hu man liberty on this continent, as to bring that struggle to an honorable conclusion. Between the civil campaign won by Go vernor Ctrwrusr, and the military campaign to be won by General lixabE, such an inti mate relation exists that failure in the one would almost inevitably result in failure in the other. A defeat of the Union candidate at the polls would have exerted such a de pressing influence upon our troops in the , field, and inspired the battalions of LEE with such desperate hope and determination, that a disaster to General MEAD could scarcely have been averted. So that Gover nor CURTIN, in canvassing the State, was working not for a mere personal advantage, not alone to save our own noble Common wealth from shame, and the Union from greater dangers than now encompass it. He was working as well for the success of the Army of the Potomac; and as by his elec tion he has strengthened it, both materially and morally, and given it an assurance that it shall not be defeated hereafter, so has he, in this proud hour of triumph, established an additional claim to be considered the friend of the soldier. None can tell how many weary, marches the • Army of the• Potomac has been saved, how much blood shed and how many fearful battles it has been spared, nor how many fruitless cam, paigns in Virginia have been averted, in the re-election of Governor CURTIN. But to all who cast their ballots in his favor must ever remain the pioud reflection that they have done all that could' be done to • . re-es tablish the Union on the •basis of a; satisfac tory peace. 44 The Attempt and not the Deed Confounds A day, or two before the election in this 'State, Major General GEORGE B. McCLEL LAN, U. S. A., well ,known as a former commander of the-Army of the Potomac, and subsequently as "a "martyr to the spirit of Abolition fanaticism," took the trouble to stultify himself before the world by writing a partisan letter, endorsing the au dacious claim bf Mr. Justice WOODWARD to the Gubernatorial chair. We take it for granted that the public gemu•ally, , by this time, has become aware of the fact, for it was advertised gratuitously in the columns Of THE PRESS. In the evil eye of Chine lurks a strange, terrible fascination, and the truth never becomes more apparent than in the case of the crime of suicide, which if it were not, romantic would be terribly repul sive. Many a man has gained newspaper notoriety by simply " shuffling off this mor tal coil," who, had he lived out his ap pointed time, might never have been heard of outside of the circle of his immediate acquaintances. In the case of a political suicide, the same princi ple manifests itself; and very many peo ple who would have felt no especial in terest in Major General 3 1 1COLELILAN per se, will feel a decided curiosity, morbid it may be, to learn all the circumstances connected with his melancholy deed of self-immolation. In "Bleak House," the junk-shop, keeper, Mr.Krooks l weird and wonderful as he was in life, never expanded — in the full bloom of his mysterious character until he became wholly moiibund. His life might never have served to point a moral or adorn a tale, but for the sudden and unexpected manner of his taking off. We do not pre tend to say that the cases are analogous ; but simply that the one may be taken as an average illustration of the singular principle involved in the other. So far, and no farther, the parallel holds good The mystery surrounding the de cease of Mr. Brooks was never cleared up. But what Mr. DICKENS failed,to do s in the case of Mr. Srooks, a certain gentle man, bearing the scriptural appellation of DAVID SOLOMON, has inadvertently done in the case of Major General GEO. B. Mc- CLELLAN. The mere circumstance that Mr. SoLobrort's name is one that the public has rarely, if ever, heard of, should not be suit cient to discredit his testimony, or create the impression - that he is not a personage of overivhelming consequence •; for we are well assured that he is at present one of the Di rectors of that great and powerful corpora tion, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. And, moreover, to show that he is not altoge ther undeserving of notoriety, we may men tion that last fall, when he aspired to be one of the three Directors chosen annually by the city, Mr. HARPER, of the Eighth ward, offered a resolution that a committee be ap pointed to investigate his loyalty. There fore, Mr. DAVID SOLOMON is a person enti tled to be heard. Be it understood, how ever, that what he has said, he has said not voluntarily and directly, but indirectly, and by virtue of his profound indiscreetness. The few gaps in his evidence we have taken the liberty of supplying, with information derived from , private sources, unquestionas bly reliable, the whole making a page of co tempbraneous history, well worthy the at tention of dramatic authors. Towards the close of the week before - last week, when the splendiffreception of Gov. CPRTIN in this city, and other equally sig nificant events had demonstrated that the people were resolved not to have a change of Governbrs, the friends of Mr. Justice WOODWARD became alarmed, and Mr. SO LOMON, one of the number, had an inter -view with the silent candidate, in which he importuned him, if he would say nothing 'himself; to get some one to say it for him. The result of this interview was, that a few days previous to the election, Mr. SOLOMON, armed with a letter to Major General . MC CLELLAN, from Mr. Justice WOODWARD, and with'special injunctions to " keep quiet", concerning his mission, started to Nevi York. So anxious was he to get off, that he did not aim delay to consult Mrs. NICKLEBY, - -but bade: good-bye to WILLIAM B. REED, aid his bosom friend SCHOFIELD, both of whom shook him affectionately by the hand. He saw Maj. Gen. Gxonpt B. MCCLELLAN, induced film to sign-his c wnpolitical death warrant, and all aglow with joyful enthusi asm, to say nothing of his happy visions of the day when he should be the Deputy Col lector of the Port, under a Democratic adc ministration, he entered the cars to return to Philadelphia. It was Monday morning; the election in this State was but two days off, and hence a general interest was felt in the issue, as was observal;le to the hearer of the passengers' conversation. Some men, •undel the circumstances, would have kept the deatk warrant of Major General GEO. B. MCcLELLAN to themselves, and perhaps have buttoned it up tightly in an inside pocket. Some men, having been particu larly enjoined to maintain inviolable secrecy, would have bit their lips till the blood came rather than betray their trust.. Some men, in fact, would have had ordinary prudence. Mr. DAVID Sono mart- had not. , He was an Envoy Extraordi nary in every sense of the word. There was no music so sweet to his ear as the music of his own tongue ; and we feel the selection of so garrulous an ambassador, bi" , so reti cent a prineipal as .Mr. Justice WOODWARD, is a living evidence that opposite natures have a sympathy and attraction for each other, which Messrs. REED, UPHAM, ABER cnomßiß, and other metaphysical writers, will please make a note of. In plain terms, Mr. DAVID SOLOMON " blabbed." He told every one aboard the train just what he had been instructed not to divulge prema .turely, and the consequence was that the wind was taken out of Mr. CHARLES J. BIDDLE'S sails. Not content with this, we next fmd this " SoLomou - , l in all his glory," rushing headlong to the -office of a small Copperhead newspaper, published, we be lieve, in the neighborhood .of the Central Police Station, and exclaiming, with classic egolism, "Yank I Vim t Vrcr I" In cha rity we will let the curtain fall at this point. That one individual had chosen to make himself ridiculous, and that another_ had chosen to ruthlessly terminate his existence before the public, is not, pettaps, of much consequence to the people. -But when Air. DAVID SoLomort, after giving us , such a proof of his utter incapacity to do anything he is told to do, or to keep any secret he is told to keep, asks to be again made a direc tor of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, we think that the members of Councils should recall these amiable traits of charac ter, and decide accordingly. Indiscretion is not a requisite qualification for a railroad 'director ; and in the case bf the Pennsyl vania Railroad, when important military secrets must frequently be entrusted to those who have the management of affairs, secre cy is,. above all things, necessary. We trust there are in Councils a majority of gentle men sufficiently intelligent to appreciate this truth, and sufficiently loyal to observe its dictates, without regaiti to party ,considera dons, when they come to choose directors next month to represent the city. Altogether, we cannot help coming to the conclusion that the business of letter-wri• ting, always'an extremely ticklish one, has in this instance severely burned the fingers of all concerned. It has shown that Mr. Justjce WOODWARD, the dignity of whose ermine would not suffer him to inter upon a political canvass, nevertheless did not con ceive it to be beneath his dignity to beg a letter of recommendation to the people of Pennsylvania, as an electioneering card, from one - a ho had been a full imitator of his own stately reserve. It has shownthat Mr. DAVID SOLOMON, leaving the question of lOyalty wholly aside, is unfit to hold any public office requiting ordinary prudence, and he will doubtless be relieved from the duties of the position after the close of his present term. While so far as Major General GEORGE B. MoOLBLLAN is concerned; we feel morally certain that in penning the 'let ter referred to, he was penning his own epi taph. THE triumph of CURTIN and BROUGH., and the defeat of WoonwAßD and - VALIAN- T/IGRAINE in Pennsylvania and Ohio, will have a depressing effect, we suspect, on the rebel cause in Europe. The Confederate loan, which has picked the pockets of sun dry political capitalists in England - and France, was sure to tumble down, even into a lower depth than its last quotation, of "30 per cent. discount, and no buyers." The foreign newspapers in -the rebel interest as sumed as-a fact beyond doubt, that-the Cop perheads were to carry all before them, in Ohio and Pennsylvania, on Tuc'sday, the 13th of October. No wonder, when even some journals here, affecting to possess abun dance of political information and most saga cious foreknowledge of coming events, told the same story. For example, the New York Leader, of October" 10th, speculating on the Pennsylvania election, pronounced that Mr. CURTIN'S "chances of success are not very promising," and declared, " on the contrary, WOODWARD continues to gain steadily, and, like a good horse in a long race, he is gradually drawing ahead as he nears the winning post." It wound up by promising to give, in its next issue "an ac curate account of the exact state of-the can vass [aie] and announce Woonw.A.RD's ma jority." Alas, for the prophet ! CURTIN'S majority over WOODWARD, the " good horse in a long race," was 22,000 ahead in the State, and over 7,000 in the city. BETWEEN the candidates of the Copper head party in Ohio and Pennsylvania there was an essential difference.. Mr. VALLAN DIGRAM was openly opposed to, the war and banished for disloyalty. Mr. Justice WOOD WARD had been openly opposed to the war, it'is true ; but, a few weeks before the elec tion, was persuaded to pay some respect to public sentiment. And although the convention which nominated Mr. Justice WooowAno passed a resblution iusiaining Mr. VALLAismonAm's claims, it is e'eclent that the issue between loyalty and disloyalty was not so openly presented here as in Ohio. It was understood to be so, but it was not se fully declared. These facts explain to a very great measure the difference in Union majorities, and show that while the truth in Ohio was absolutely self-evident, in Penn sylvania the truth needed demonstration. So far as Copperheadism in this State con ceaied its purposes; the struggle with it was more difficult, and our success more glori ous. Mr., WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER Was therefore correct in saying, at the great Union meeting in New York on Friday evening, that "while the Peace Democrats were damaged by VALLANDIEULAM in Ohio, they have been ti great deal worse hurt by CURTIN in Pennsylvania." "Ax EMPHATIC and distinct affirmation that the people of these States intend .to fight the rebelliox as long as there is any re .bellion to fight." This, Hon. HENRY J. RAY MOND, in his late eldquent speech, justly de clares to be the meaning of the elections in Maine, California, Indiana, lowa, Ohio, and Pennsylyania. He is right in believing that an equally emphatic and distinct affirmation will be made in New York next month. Pennsylvania must take' - her part in that campaign ; for, to the eminent speakers and loyal journals of our sister-State we , largely owe much of our own success. The Union men in. Pennsylvania have not forgotten the noble services of Mr. RAYMOND, of Mr. PICKINSON, of General BUSTEED, of the Times and the Tribune, and of other men and journals equally loyal and infidential: A NXEDLESS Wfstr.—The New York Times concludes an article on our recent election, with these words : " We feel proud that Philadelphia thus shows her mettle, and we are glad to print her own praises of it. May she grow and flourish till she is as big as New York." It happens, however, that Philadelphia is " as big as New York," and more so. Her i population exceeds that of. New York, if the dwellers in Long Island, up the Hudson, and across in New Jersey, be properly excluded, and there are *more houses, by many thousands, in Philadelphia than there are in New York FEW official returns have been received from the remaining counties, and the esti mated majority-for Governor CURTIN is not materiallyaltered. It will ` probably. be , _ several days before the returns are made, and the exact result published. • , MR.

THE PI ESS.-PHITADELPHLi: MONDAY, OCTOBER 19; 1863: One great work hiving beeh abconiplished in Pennsylvania, Ohio, lowa, Indiana, and` other Btates, - in which the authority of the Federal Government has been fully vindi cated, and:the course of the Administration of the Government fully sustained, it now becOmes us to look to the immediate future, and to understand our new responsibilities. After every great battle the soldiers are per mitted little rest. They are trained -for a new conflict. They are educated for new trials and for new suffering& So, with us in civil life. Without being called upon to submit to their sacrifices, and to endure their agonies, we should understand that the 'battle for human liberty is a continuous and n'ever-ending struggle. The Union organizations in all the loyal States must be maintained. The languor that succeeded ordinary elections in former times must not be permitted to succeed our late triumphs at the ballot-box. We must perfect our organizations, increase our efforts, and add to our numbers by all honorable means. From this hour the cam paign of 1864 may be said to have corn. menced. The Union Leagues, headed by that parent and powerful institution in Philadelphia, which did so much at the beginning to give heart and soul to the loyal sentiment •in every section, must •not forget that all their intellects and efforts are again -required, and that for the coming year, they must, if possible, be more active and vigilant than ever. Let us remember that we should be"tolerant, kind, and vigi :holt to all who have heretofore opposed us in the loyal States. Let us remember that in our hands are reposed the destinies of the country. There is, and can be, no party in the future but that of the Republic, no Democratic, no Republican, and no Whig party . ; and let this spirit pervade and in spire -every organization, small or great. The questions to be considered, adjusted, and _disposed of, in the year . 1864, de mand that every' prejudice of the past -should, be postponed or forgotten;'and he who supposes that the great , anti-slavery organization. can -triumph in 1864, by• ig noring this fact, will be as much mistaken as he who calculates that the sun that sets to-day will not rise to-morrow. Secretary SEWARD being unable, from Dressing publio business, to attend the New York corptiration dinner to the Russian naval officers, halt sent a let ter of regret and friendship.

Now that the relations between the United States Emil Greet Britain have assumed a more peaceful aspect, and are likely to becomeadditionally friendly, gentlemen connected with Governmental affairs express the hope that the- citizens of our country will endeavor to strengthen rather than weaken the amicable feelings of the two nations, However our relations with France may be re• garded by the public, there is no reason to fear that any of the pending questions will lead to disagreea ble results. .. Relief of the Sick and Wounded Soldiers. The celebrated actress, Miss DRARLoTTE °ouzo. MAN, volunteered to perform Lady kacbeth *it night, at Gl:oven's new theatre, in conjunction with Messrs. E. L. DAVENPORT and J.W. WALLAcr, the manager giving the entire proceeds to a fund for the relief of, the sick and disabled soldiers. A large sum of money was realized, the spacious edifice being densely crowded. Among the "notables pre sent were the President of the United States, Secre taries SEWARD and CHASE ' , and other heads of de partments.

It is said that a general order will be issued by the War Department in a few days, providing for the enlistment of colored troops in the States of Mary land, Kentucky, Missouri, and West Virginia. All loyal owners will be allowed three hundred- dollars , for each slave that may enlist, the Wive_ to be free at the expiration of his term of enlistment. The slaves of disloyal masters will also be enlisted, but they will not be paid for them. Five officers were arrested yesterday for remaining in the oity without authority after their regiment had left for the front. They were ordered to report under:arrest to the Provost Marshal General of the Army of the Potomac. tTO show the expedition with which such matters are attended to, these offi cers were arrested within less than one hour after the telegram informingagainst them was received.

IT.—lt is ascertained from the Army of the Potomac that the heavy rain of yester day prevented any field operations. Our cavalry scouts failed to find any considerable body of the enemy, and our signal men, owing to the fog and haze, saw indications of only one large camp at Bristow Station. It is believed the enemy have, during the previous day, reconnoitred our position, and finding our lines impregnable, retired rearward, and fearing a rise in the Rappahannock would interfere with their base of supplies, have expedited their movements towards that Una - Our troops are equally well potted for an advance or for defence. The enemy's forced marches, and scarcity of supplies, render it impossible to actively advance orzetreat. If they attack us their defeat is censideredbeyond a doubt. General Sickles arrived in front' last night, pre pared to take the field if a fight should ensue. His friends there, however, thinks hie valor carries him too far in his present physical condition. Hon. John M. Botts, it is already known, has been taken a second time to Richmond by the rebels. He was arrested immediately on our falling back to this aide of the Rappahannock, on the charge of having violated his parole, and having in vited Federal officers to hislhouse ; the proof rest. leg on certain indiscreet newspaper letters soon 'after our arrival at Culpeper, and 'also on the find. log on his premises a musket and equipments aban doned by one of our soldier's. Two of his daughters voluntarily accompanied him to Richmond. =- >A report _reached headquarters that the enemy were in force, this morning, at and around Manassas :Junction. Some .rof our troops prepared imMedi ately4to edvance, and probably to reconnoitre. Our movements have recently been .of a strategic character, in which General Lee has thus far been 'ompletely outgenertiled by. General Meade. No fears exist of our not being• able to cope with General Lee in the field if we can get his force in a Male without our having a large base of supplies to protect. WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The information from the Army of the Potomac received to-night is that re ports came in from our cavalry yesterday evening that the enemyhad„ massed a force at Kenna's'. There were also vague rumors that the enemy, straitened for supplies, and having signally failed to promire them from General Meade's trains, has again turned his attention and course toward the Lower Shenandoah Valley, and to our polite on the Baltimore and Ohio. Railroad. Trusty parties have been sent out to ascertain the truth of the reports. Rebel infantry pickets made their appearance last night - in the vicinity of Ohantilly, indicating the presence of a heavy rebel force in that vicinity; but General Sedgwick drove them back to Frying Pan from his front. General Corcoran visited the camp yesterday. _ Later information up to noon' to-day says that our cavalry reconnoissance went out as far as one mile from Bristoe Station, and found nothing but a few rebel cavalry scouts. • Rumors continue to multiply, to the effect that a rebel nolumn ia moving towards Point of Rorke, or Harper's Ferry, but after careful inquiry by private parties, no information was obtained to confirm these reports. It would seem that a general engagement is con sidered probable, from the fact that the army sur geone haVe received orders to hold themselves in readiness to , proceed to the Army of the Potomac. ' The following was today received at the head quarters in this city CLARKSBURG, Oct. 17.—General Sullivan reports that his cavalry scout from Martinsburg, yesterday, encountered a detachment of Gilmore's rebeicaval rv, and captured the whole party, 39 in number, With horses, equipments, &c.

Nsw YORK, Oct. ri.—The steamer George Cram yell, from New Orleans on the 10th instant, has ar. rived here. Her news is anticipated. Nnw .08imerre, Oct. 10, 7 A. M.—The , 19th Army Corps reached Vermilion river, a few miles south of Ver milionville, yesterday morning. It is thought there would he no delay in crossing. There was sharp skirmishing, and some prisoners taken from the rebels. Their loss is not known. Lieut. Col. Cowan, of the Third Texas Cavalry, wee wounded. General Banks is in the field. Vermilion river flows from Opelousas southward into a bay of its own. name. It is bordered by fer tile prairies, and plantations of cotton and sugar, and is navigable for small steamboats for about eighty wales from itsmouth. Verutilionvilie, Which our army has already passed in its march, is the ca pital of Lafayette parish, and about one hundred and ten miles from New Orleans. The army is al ready more than half way to the Texas line. ' The fall weather is just cool enough to make tion agreeable. For the expedition now beyond the Teche no better time could have been chosen, and the beat proof of this is found in the rapid progress it is now making. =At the last accounts the bulk of ,the army is beyond Ncw Iberia, and its advance is near •Vermilion. At this point, it has been said, a decided stand would be made by the Confederates, but this is be. lieved to be wholly impossible, as the most of the forces under Taylor and Mouton do not exceed six thousand men, and the Federal forces, which are constantly increasing, cannot be much lees than forty thousand, most of them Western men, fully their equals as soldiery. The policy of the former will be to fall back unfit joined by their allies from Texas, and then make a determined attack to resist the fusilier ad vance of General Banks. • The latter has now an army of which he may well be proud, and its equipmenti and Appointments are such as ought to satisfy the most exacting quarter master or the most bountiful purveyor and furnisher of supplies. For two months the Opelousas Rail road has been employed day and night in conveying men and means, and 'even yet there ismo abatement in its labors and burdens: Rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, "there have as yet been no engagements between the op- posing forces. Captain Squires, of this city, a young officer of the Confederate artillery, was mortally wounded by the Federal cavalry on last Sunday af. ternoon ; but he was • reconnoitring alone, and im prudently remained to take an amateur shot, which was answered by a volley fatal to him. He was taken to the Federal camp, where his leg was ampu tated, but in vain, to save his life. There are ru mors of artillery engageinedts, in which each side is reported to have lost ; but, upon an investigation, I find them all to be false. Itis likely that General Banks will • meet with no serious obstruction this side of the Sabine. The heavy skirmish which took place back of Morganza, some ten days or two.weeks ago, was be tween the troops of Major General Dana and a Con federate force under General Poligne,e, eon' of the famous minister of Charles X. of France. The latter are said to have been victorious, and to have taken prisoners variously stated at from two thousand down to four hundred: A number of them have ar. rived in this city, on parole, and the latter la the number stated by them. It was, in all probability, conspicuous only as an outpost affair, and will not be followed byany important consequences. DEPARTMENT OF THE MISSISSIPPI, A 7.7111011.

A Respite to Dr. Wright Public Entertainments CHESTNUT. STREET THEATRE.—On Saturday night week the "Duke's Motto" died, after a lingering illness of some weeks, and 4ast week was occupied byrthe engagement of Miss Lucille Western. The plays which have been produced are " Oynthie," Which is comparatively "new to a great portion of the public, and "East Lynne "—a name familiar to every one, both from the exciting romance and the drama, which is founded upon Mrs. Henry Wood's production. Upon former occasions we have ex 'pressed our opinions at some length with respect to Miss Western'. physical and mental capabilities for her profession, and particularly dwelt upon her im personatioris of Lady Isabel and Madame Vine. There is nothing to retract or amend in what was then said '•; but it is a pleasure to observe that this per former, whether intentionally or not, has improved niece her rendition of the seine character last season. She seems to us to have taken paine to act the part as well as she possibly can ; and if she acted every part which she undertakes with the same de gree of merit with which she performs in " East Lynne," she might with some reason claim to be a versatile ai effeetive actress. But Miss Western does not, and therefore probably cannot, do this. She hair been taught by experience that in " East Lynne" she appears to better advantage than in any. thing else; that the effect produced upon the au dience is due rather to the passions of human na ture depictured in the plot of the play, than to her investiture of the character; and that upon a sensation.drama has depended the ultimate suc cess of her endeavors. Still, we do not dislike Miss Western's representation of Lady Isabel, and we are glad to notice a gradual 'improvement in the general conception of the character, as well as in minor details. Lady Isabel, with the exception of Miss Carney, is the only character of the dra matization. The rest are mere nothings, so many automatons to carry on the plot., But the cha racter of Lady Isabel is full of passion and sensi bility. All the strongest passions of human nature palpitate in her bosom, from first to last. As a young girl, innocent and wayward, and loving ; as a jealous and suspicious wife ; as the erring, broken hearted, and' orsaken mistress, and as the penitent who only! seeks the heart and home she once had a claim to, there to die, the character finds a sympathy in every heart which reads its history, or beholds its history portrayed. There is something so very winning in a young girl's surrendering her destiny to a noble man whom she reveres and loves; something so distressing in the fact of her being successfully tempted by a gentlemanly wretch whom, sooner or later;ehe must despise; something so inexpressibly touching in the repentance of a guilty woman, who never can regain the position she has forfeited, the hearts she has broken,-the love she has lost. In . . surveying such 'a character, which possesses within itself capabilities for being superior to all other adjacent characters, no matterwhat may be the im probability or absurdity which may mark their por trayal, one cannot but feel his interest concentrated upon that character, and concentrated with consi derable fixedness. Miss Lucille Western looks like . -a woman who ought to portray such a character well. She seems capable of considerable lire and impetuosity. The gentler tones of her voice possess versatility of ex pression, and her deeper notes, thOugh they run, into the extreme of frenzy, are not without a latent quality- of pathetic, perhaps powerful expression. Her position in the histrionic world is not at all ambiguous. She is recognized as a sensation rather than a legitimate actress, and she and her audiences mutually understand the terms upon which they meet together. Whether she shall elevate herself above this position remains to be pesin. The issue does not rest alone on her own endeavors, for we feel assured she will exert to the utmost every re source she may , possess. The number of times which she has gone through with the part of Lady Isabel has enabled her to identify herself With the charecter. The fidelity and consistency of the representation is thereby en larged and intensified. In minor points, whose correct observance, hOwever, is absolutely neces eery to the wellbeing of a play, and to the effec tiveness of the player, there is likewise an improve ment. The song "When other Lips and other Hearte," at the close of the first act, is not sung as ludicrously as it was last season, although there are such mistakes as "shell tell" for "shall tell," "ix cesa" for " excess," "Nile" for" have." The whole performance, however, was a sufficient improvement upon that of last season to warrant us in congratu lating Miss Western, and in hoping for a continu are of the same in future. We do not see how, with any hope. of success, she could have essayed several characters which she has essayed—as, for instance, Peg Woffinglon. Remembering how ex ceedingly well this charaoter has been rendered by several actresses in this city, we wonder at its being attempted by Mies Western. Time, however, which works many wonders!, may work wonders in this case, and sonic day—though we do not think it probable—enable this artist to perform well any character which she is not afraid to undertake. The character of Miss Ccrrney was excellently well played by Mit! Mary Wells, with the customary drawback of an incessant smile, just on the verge of a laugh, and a private laugh, now and then, just on the brink of a giggle. Like Mr. Micawber, Miss Wells intensely enjoys herself through all the mise ries of her housekeeping. This fault, although an amusing one, detracts from the faithfulness of the delineation. •Miss Wells was entertaining enough, however, to keep the theatre in- constant laughter, whenever she made her entrance or her exit. Her dress, her gait, her gestures, her whimsical expres sion of face, and her ludicrous utterances, were all very good, and leave no room for fault to be found. Mr. De Forrest was too harsh and forbidding as Earl Mount Severn ; W. Blaisdell was a no nenity as Sir Francis Letrison and Mr. T. Mordannt was wprse than noihing as Archibald Carlyle. We never saw these characters more ineffectively per The part of the child HIM= was well done by the child who performed it. To Miss Rose' Eytinge was confided Barbara Hare. She looked pretty, acted gracefully, and dressed with taste. Her parting her hair on one' side gives her the-ap pearance of a boy taking a woman's part, as in the modest times . of Shakspeare. " East Dynne" will be continued through the present week. The house on Saturday was quite full, and the applause and interest very plentiful. WALT( lIT-STREET THICATRIC.—Atthe Walnut street Theatre Miss Matilda Heron and Ur. Edwin Adams have been playing in combination during the last week. The plays which have been produced in. elude the everlasting "Camille," "The Honey Moon," "Wild. Oats," "The Stranger," and the Gunmaker of Moscow.!' The houses during the first'night or two were not large, and we do not think that pecuniarily the management had much to congratulate itself upon. The "tragic play," Camille, when it is welt- played, will generally draw good houses, because with all the essential immorality of the plot, essential, because Camille is the heroine, it paints certain pictures and phases of passion to which the heart of humanity beats a response. We do not like Miss Matilda Heron's portrayal of Camilie, and we oeize this opportunity of confessing it. Camille is not the coarse, rude, unpolished crea ture which Miss Heron makes her. She is not wholly sensual and gross. And yet this is the effect which the representation of Miss HerOn prOduees. The actress herself is not physically capable of poi , tray leg the beautiful and frail Camille. She no more looks the character than she acts it. When she would be winning, she is froward; when she would be loving and tender, she is repulsive. When Ar• mand Dtevcil (Edwin Adam!) enters, in the last act, and meets once more his lost Camille, Camille not only huge Armand in wifelike embrace, but kisses him all over face and forehead. We do not think this in good taste. If this is the naturalness for which Miss Heron has been extolled, it is the natl• rained which should be limited to private life, and not to the publicity of the stage. There are some scenes whose representation no plea of naturalness or lifelikeness on the part of the actor or actress can excuse. The frequent coarseness which marked the performance of "Camille" last week, may haire been thought necessary to the character, but if so, that conception is most unnecessary, and the cha racterization is moat repulsive to, those who wit nessed it. We are far from asserting that Miss Matilda Heron is without merit. If she were so, she would never have been so legitimately successful as she has been. Whether she has ever found her true sphere or not, her own inclination mud lead her to decide. She has certainly not found it in such plays as " Camille, ,, "The Honeymoon," "The Stranger." She lacks the tenderness and grace which belong to'Camilleand Mrs. Haller. She is very bold and unwomanly as Juliana. in some Scenes of The Honeyitoon," but she lacks the softness of expression which marks the action of the last two acts. This evening " Aspasia" will be produced, and it will be seen how she will-act in-that. Her voice is against her. Sometimes her low and quiet tones are pleasing and pathetic ; hut generally the tones are discordant and shrills'and the most pathetic passages of the play totally ruined, to the immense amusement of the galleries, by the ludicrous, and yet painful inefficiency of the per former. In parts where strenuous physical effort, or great mental exertion, was necessary, Miss Heron has been very effective, and her delineations have been greeted with applause from the most, apprecia tive, because themost intelligent, portion of the com munity. But she is without, or at least has not, to our knowledge, ever evinced the power ‘ to portray accurately the subtler, more delicate emotions of the soul. She is never eci much engrossed in her part that she cannot pause in its most, effective passage, and shout out "silence!!? to some obtrusive member of the gallery gods, impolite enough'to laugh Aloud at something he considered ludicrous. Her jestures, motions, and attitudes are harsh,-ungraceful, and yet affected. In all she says and does there is a su perabundance of self-possession which can scarcely be classified and designated. And we would scarcely wish to do this. All we care for is to point out to Miss Heron those faults in her acting, which have been commented upon by very many who. would otherwise rank among her sincere admirers, and to subserve the interests of the drama, by securing for it'a performer who, - in her peculiar line, might be of come service to the stage. Miss Matilda Heron is, a lady of much intelligence, of long experi ence on the stage, and of energy sufficient to maintain any position to which she is en titled. To the position which she has assumed the past week shell not entitled, and it has not been conceded her, --She is not the Camille that is ad mired here rahe "lig not the - Julianna nor the Mrs. Haller, strained and Imnatural as both these cha raiders are, which audiences like to witness. She is without the tenderness of Mrs. Bowers, the ex. quisite path,: Miss Davenport used to exhibit, or even the priseionate Utterance which Luaille Western sometimes makes. Yet in fierce and mas culine passages, she possesses en intensity and force ot expression, a fierceness of denunciation rind stern ness of rebuke, which tell well upon lan audience. In this path, ruggedlland uninviting` though it be, her forte_ appears to us to lie. If she would main tain ber reputation she must adhere to it, orra pidly develop other qualities in characterizations 'which Will admit of their display. The chief support of Miss Heron during the last week's performance was Mr. Edwin Adams, who has played one or two star engagements in this `city, and who is favorably recollected as a -good stook actor of this theatre's stock company. During the week Mr. Adams has been playing Armand Duval, in "Camille," Duke Aranza, in the "Honeymoon," Rover, in" Wild Oats," and Runic Nevil, in "The tannonaker, of Moscow." He was good in all, of thesieharaoters. He possesses a tine figure, a deep, rich voice, and has the additional advantage of good looks. We hope his application to private study is as great es h i ts energy in Mit public performances, for he would then attain a higher position than he has yet won. Further, if he would oblige his audi ences with a lees number of speeches, and deliver those,that he does,make with more grace and less display, such consideration would be felt as a per lewd favor by a large Portion of the community of theatregoer.. In "Camille," Mrs. Thayer, as Madam Prudence, anted with her customary humor. This evening the tragic play of " Aspasia," by Mr. Charles Qaylor, will be produced. ARCH•STREET TiIiCAVRX.—The Molting, Opera Troupe concluded their long engagement with " The Bohemian Girl," on Saturday night.

[Great cheering.]" Nevada went overwhelmingly Union a few weeks ago ; Nebraska did the same, last Tuesday and Colorado did likewise at her recent election. A letter in The Morning Herald, St. Joseph, Mo., says "Dareva CITY, Oct. 3.-1863. "The Territorial election, which came oil' on the ist ult., albeit it was hotly contested all over the Territory. resulted in a uniform unconditional Union victory. But one Copperhead was elected to either House. Many sage calculations on the influx of sympathi zers and refugees from your State have proved fal lacious. Loyal emigrants outnumbered them, or they let the election go by default. At all events, we have a clean Union Council, House, and Territo rial officers, from county judges down to constable— glory enough for one season. The Legislature will not meet until the let Monday of February next. It is confidently expected that it will be the last Legis lature under our present organization, as the ensu ing Congress will doubtless pass an enabling-act, under which Colorado will present herself for ad 'mission into the Union, on the first Monday of the ensuing session. The people are ripe for it." —We learn from a friend, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, that when ex• Governor Packer visited the polls, at Williameport, to vote, he boaetfully held up his ticket, exclaiming, "Here is a ticket which is copper all over" Immediately behind Packer came a jolly Hibernian, also in the act of voting, who cried out, in a lusty voice, "Be jabers, here is a ballot to kill your snake!" We do not envy William F. Packer the feeling, while we despise the motive, which prompted him to his vote and his exclarna tion. The honest Irishman is the better man and the purer patriot' f the two citizens. Obituary. DEATH OP AN ENOLOM STATREINAN.—In the Albany Evening Journal, Mr. Thurlow Weed notices at length the death of the Eight Hon. Edward El lice, an eminent English statesman, who died on the lath September, in his 81st year. Mr. Ellice was associated with Astor in real estate and fur trade, in this country, of which he was better informed, by personal experience, than many of his countrymen. Mr. Ellice, though in early life a merchant, was allied to the highest families in the kingdom. His first wife was a sister of Earl Grey. His second was the Countess of Leicester. His son and heir, Edward, has been a member of Parliament since 1837. The deceased Mr. Enloe has represented Coventry since 1818. He poesessed a colossal frame, Rays Mr. Weed, and a corresponding intellect. His conversational powers were .fohnsonian. The London Times says : "On the dissolution of .Lord Grey's Ministry, Mr. Ellice was appointed to the office of Secretary at War, thus affording the first instance, we believe, since the revolution, of the passage of an English merchant from the count ing -house to the Cabinet. He was generally be lieved to have had a great share in the formation of Lord Melbourne's second Government, but in that Government he reserved no place for himself. Yet, although ostensibly limited to the duties of a pri vate member of Parliament, his politicaloweight has never been greater than during the thirty years which have elapsed since he ceased to hold office. Duane* thatperiod he has occupied the position, more freque t in America than in England, of a man who sways public affairs, not directly, but through the influence which he exerts over the - minds of those by whom public affairs are administered. Clear, decided in hie views, full of resource, fertile in suggestion, with sympathies for all classes, a keen appreciation of the spirit of the hour, and often a deep insight into -the future—the results of great experience of buss -zees and great knowledge of mankind—with a i!evo tion to the interests of his Tarty, which. had in it nothing-that was narrow or intolerant, Mr. Ellice was always consulted, always ready to advise, and very often brought those who consulted him round -to his opinion. 0,-, Freedom Convention of the Slave: States.

Stirring addresses were delivered by Chaplain Thomas, of the Western army, and the Rev.
