near Kelly's ford, drove the enemy to and across
the river, taking a number of redoubts, and nearly
two thousand men in all, with four colonels, and
many other officers. These operations show a clear
advantage to the Armv of the Potomac. General
Meade is rapidly following the enemy ulnae the

Telegrams in the rebel papers represent the situa
tion near Chattanooga as disadvantageous to the
army of GPO, Bragg, now that our fm•ees have taken
important positions from the enemy, and are making
disastrous raids in their rear. Recent skirmishes of
the National cavalry in east Tennessee have proved
very auccessful. In the raid on West Kentucky,
the rebels used bloodhounds in limiting loyal rage.

victory.
- Political Results of the War.
It has frequently been said by the enemies.
of the Union that this is a political war. In
no invidious sense we admit the truth of the
assertion. The war is political in the pri
mary sense of the word. A great political
evil gave birth to it ;-political agitation pre
cipitated it, and to-day, as the Jersey elec
tion too plainly shows, political bias is en
deavoring to protract it under the pretence
of a desire to hasten its termination. But
in speaking of the political results of the
:present contest we are speaking rather con
cerning its bearing upon the future civil life
of the nation than upon the influence it is
destined -to exert upon the party politics • of
the country hereafter. The theme is, of
course, too suggestive and comprehensive to
be fully treated in the brief limits of a news
paper article. It would be presumptuous to
attempt 'to estimate the transformations
which the present war must effect in our in
stitutions, laws, and general character, but
one or two considerations that occur to us
may here be briefly noted,
The first grand result of the war, so 'far as
affects the body_ politic, is the death of
slavery in the United States. Thefact is an
accomplished one ; and how accomplished ?
Not simply that the North was mightier than
the South, and therefore chose to strike down
its cherished institution. Not simply that
the maintenance of the system of compulsory
servitude became an impossibility in the
preserice of vast military operations. Not
simply because Mr. Lulcomi chose, upon
the first day of January, 1863, to issue his
proclamation of emancipation. Conjointly,
and in the
may
seceded States, these
agencies may have helped to direct the fatal
blow. But would it have been fatal but for
the co-operation of those pro-slavery States
which remained lay -1.1 to the Union? In
Missouri, in Tennessee, in Maryland, we
see slavery as infallibly dead as in Louisi
ana or Florida ; and it has died in these
states where no hostile armies would have
disturbed it, and no proclamation could have
reached it, simply because the war has edu
cated our people; anniow, having come to
the issue that either slavery or the Union
must die, they have chosen to abide by the
life of the nation.
The second grand result of the war, which
threctly ensues from the first, is the death of
the pro-slayeiy, or Democratic party in the
'United States. This result, we take it; is as
certain and as irrevocable as the other. In
a general sense, it may indeed be affirmed
that all political parties have ceased to exist
in this country ; but the demise of the De
riperatic party is particularly noticeable for
the reason that it was forced to yield up the
ghost, against its inclination. As the great
controlling party of the country, as the par
ty - which always was a living exponent of
•that abstruse political problem, called "tile
balance of power," :as the party whose die
tuna could make Presidents, and unmake
Cabinets, it has ceased to exist. And now
that the degenerate organization ; which
- Usurped - the time.honored name of the De
mocratic party, is dead, there is once more a
hope that the principles of true democracy,
upon which our Governnaent rests as a rock,
and upon whose maintenance depends its
salvation, may henceforth be something
more than a deceptive party-cry; and may
more than 'ever make themselves felt as a
living prespnce in our forums and legialative
The third grand result of theyar, ensuing
from the death of the -so-called Democratic
party, is the extinction of the heresy of State
sovereignty. It was this heresy that, in
conjunction with the arrogance of slavery,
produced the present war. Without the
flimsy covering of justification furnished by
s the doctrine of State sußrernacy, the contest
between slavery and freedom would never
theless have come to pass. It was inevit
able. But in the eyes even of the most
ignorant and deluded of the Southern people,
it would have been open,..undisguised rebel
lion ; whereas, upon the assumption that
each State was a sovereign nation, the doc
trine of Secession seemed logical enough,
and all effort to prevent it intolerable tyran
ny. It was because their premises were
false that the Southern people came to ,the
astounding conclusion that the American
Union could be destroyed by the passage of
half a dozen resolutions. The war will
right all this, and show to all the world that
the Union alone is supreme within the terri
tory of the Union.
The fourth and last' grand political result,
- Which the present strife seems' destined
to accomplish in our national future -a re
sult necessarily following from that- just
enumerated.—is to inaugurate a national
militia System. If we recollect aright, this
was one, of the propositions embraced in
the platform of organization adopted by
the German Radicals at Cleveland, last
- month. We regard its accomplishment as
an inevitable result of the war. Hence
forth, even in the times of profoundest
peace, we should be prepared for war.
It was because we were not prepared that
the rebellion came upon us as a ,thief in
The night, to profit by our weakness and
inexperience, Now, that we have owed
out an appienticesbip, in the profession of
arms, we shall be stronger for the know - -
ledge we have gained, and securer for the
strength we have acquired. r 'We shall be
stronger and securer, that we have been.
taught to realize the fact, that the . ftrst duty.
of the good citizen is to sustain the-Go
vernment that protects him, and - -that,
render this support valuable and effective,
it should be embraced within a general.
plan or system. •
• These are but a few of the consequences
of , a civil character. that must flow-from our
civil war. • As we have said, to attempt to
enumerate them all would require more time
and space than we: could'well afford. • Nor
would it be necessary to add to the - number:
Those we have repeated strike us as being
most prominent, and unless we wholly mis
appreciate their nature they must exorcise a
most salutary influence upon the future of this
Republic. They will make us a military
people ; they will make us a united people ;
they will make us a progressive people ; they
will make us a peaceable people ; and, above
all, we shall be a prosperous people, if kora
such a combination as unity, progress, and
peace, the elements of national prosperity
can be evolved.
Public Confidence.
• immediately, after the elections iu Penn
sylvania and - Ohio, which terminated so
gloriously in favor of patriotism, loyalty,
and a stable government, actuated by these
glorious principles, public confidence mani
fested itself in a very unmistakable manner
by taking up the five-twenty stock, for the
disposal of which Mr. JAY-COOKE and other
bankers are the Government agents, in this
and other States. Nothing could more de
cidedly indicate the decline of doubt and
the increase of public confidence in the Ad
ministration, and its desire and endeavor to
prosecute this war until two issues be ar
rived at—the restoration of that Union under
which our - progress as a nation was so re-,
markable, and the obliteration' from our
country's escutcheon of the dishonoring blot
of Slavery. After all, as BYRON remarked
in " Don Juan," - the pocket is no bad test
of a man's sincerity. When we see the
community hastening, as of late, to invest
their money in 'public securities, thereby
supplying the Government with "the sinews
of war," and also obtaining good interest
upon the investment, we may be . assured
that the public mind is fully at ease as to
the stmeessful result of the great contest
into which treachery and treason : hs.ve
plunged us. - Men show themselves in
earnest when they embark their property
in a cause; and. there never yet was any
cause more worthy of the support of Chris
Aim men than that now upon its trial, for
it is the cause of huntanity and of freedom.
Before the elections, the subscriptions came
in with what was then called respectable
alacrity ; but, since the Constitutional cause
has so remarkably triumphed At the polls? ,
in many States, the increased investment, of
money in Government securities has been
eager and great beyond all precedent, be
yond all expectation. This investment has
I sometimes amounted to millions in a single
day, and no other country, at any time, has
I Ititueßsed anything lite this. " Public
confidence," Junius said, "is of slow
growth." He said the truth, but he might
have added tbat, once it has grown,.it is, as
firmly rooted,•and vigorous, and permanent
as the giant oak of the forest. The loyalty
of the country found a voice, trumpet
tongued, at the late elections, and the public
have since followed rip iteir votes•by giving
the Government the use of all the money
that can be spa led from business. Nothing
like this was ever seen in Europe. Here,
without one cent borrowed from abroad, we
have maintained a- war necessarily costly
and tedious, and it will be the boast of our
future annalists that we'did all this out of
Our own unaided resources.
Delaware.
The election of Mr. N. B. Sminnus, the
Unconditional Union candidate for Congress
in Delaware, is important to the country, but
more important to the State. If Mr.
CHARLES BROWN be elected, the Union will
not be lost, but Delaware will be disgraced
by, a disloyal Representative. Mr. Baowri
is- so thoroughly devoted to the worst
principles of the Opposition, that the
struggle is absolutely between. loyalty And
disloyalty, and the issue virtually whether
Delaware will sustain the Union. There
is no doubt of the result. The Union
meetings held are enthusiastic and nume
rous, and the spirit of the people indicates
the triumphal election of Mr. SMITHIMS.
We i are glad to see ,that so many eminent
Pennsylvanians are earnestly working for
that result, Col, Prumr S. WHITE, COL
MINAS FrITMILAID, Judge KELLEY, and
others, will give their , eloquence and ability
to the service of the loyal cause. Hon. Mr.
SCOTEL,' of New Jersey, will also speak du
ring the rest of the campaign, and we are
glad to announce that Hon. ELE - NRY J. RAY
MOND, whose influence and ability aided us
so much in the Pennsylvania campaigo., will
assist in the canvass in Delaware.
LETTER FROM `° OCCASIONAL.'
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 186 3 .
More Union victories, and, therefore,
more- profound lessons_ and -admonitions
to leaders and to statesmen. That
which runs and shines' through all these
late bright and welcome Union tri
umphs, like a vast diamond in a sea
of gold, is the magnanimous and generous
unity of t4e p6ple for the sake of the coun
try. This was the star that led as well as
lighted our pathway. Siitll it be deserted
now ? Shall we allow it to set in shame and
despair ? I answer no 1 a thousand times
no ! If we would save what we have won,
and rescue that which is yet lost to the Re
public, we must cultivate the spirit that has
made the free ballot-boaes from California
to Maine so many terrific batteries against
slavery and the rebellion. And we should
cultivate it not alone as to men or parties, but
as to prejudices and principles. We should
not simply be proud to obtain help from loyal
Democrats, and to honor and reward
Buell auxiliaries, but we should stand con
stantly-on the watch over and against our own
peculiar dogmas, individual and Otherwise.
I would ask no man to yield conviction
to. expediency ; but I would ask those who
have the destinies of the Government in
their hands, whether they are at this centre
or in the extremities, or whether they write,
or speak, or think and vote, to remember
that much that is now tenaciously Cheriahed
may have to be partially sacrificed before
we attain a lasting and an honorable
peace. Had this sentiment not animated
the Administration Of .Mr.. Lincoln from
the first, the war for national preserva
tion would have been only a bloody failure.
It gave us armies, money,' confidence,
unity, and success in the martial as
well as in the civic conflict. And he who
stands stubbornly by his own idea or theory,
and. will abate no jot for the common good,
can, be; and is, only an honest bigot, and a
woithless friend. I belong to the most. ad
vanced class in my feelings and hopes as to
the settlement of this grave controversy ; but
I trust there is nothing I would not yield,
with'my heart's belief in Mr. Lincoln, that
this settlement may be stable and, practical.
In my campaign in New York I was grati
fied at the mind, good
_sense which
inspired all those interested on the right
side. With.. a very few exceptions, the
. speakers were men who seemed to un
derstand that their mission was not to .
ventilate personal records, but to give up
personal ambitions, and consolidate the
whole body of the people. This harmony
was evidently not the product of a;-previous
agreement or instruction from those who
bad the organizing work directly in chaige.
'lt was the instinct of men who knew not
only what were the. needs of the times,
but also what the loyal masses them
selves desired. And while this was my
unbroken experience, I felt at no one mo
.ment that there was the slightest dispo
sition in any quarter, among those I met
and acted with, to subordinate or " sell
out" the over-riding necessity of giving
• slavery the death-blow— quick, fast, and
terrible. For, in fact, the anti slavery sen
timent is now the faith and the fortress
of every loyal hea?t, at least in the
.„free s auto. All Ahe
_elements and idetts
- .
of this faith and ail the confidence of this
fortress were accepted and believed by the
people. But the determinationlo trust in
each other, and to unite all true men,
and . to give up all vagaries, or in
dividual specialities; was the' mani
festation of, every hour. I do not doubt
or fear, if we can keep this feeling alive,
and enter upon the. GREAT YEAR OF 1864
with it'in our hearts, ALL WILL .BE BETTER
THAN WELL

General Sedgwick at once advanced and stormed
them, and this was done with great gallantry and

to bring his artillery to bear upon them, and he pro
'seeded to shell them with marked effect, not only
killing a large number, but throwing them into
utter confusion, scattiring therdwildly and taking
many prisoners. French followed up his advantage
and immediately threw the let division of the 3d
corps, commanded by General Birney, across the
diver, which ended his operations for the day. .

Public Entertainments.
The theatrical public Ulla:week, and probably
fortnight, be in the Iran& of three ladles who are
fully competent to afford it rational entertainment.
Mrs. D P.-Bowers at the Arch, Miss Mary Provost
at the Walnut, and Miss Avonia Jones at the Cheat
-mut-etre-Mt Thczstrarrrill-wwB.-6,-Immuls,atii- histrionic
warfare, and each, no doubt, will gather laurels in a
spirit of generous rivalry. Mrs. D. P. Bowers has
been complimented with the name of Philadelphia's
favorite. She is a delicate, 'accomplished actress.
Her voice is very pleasant and effective in
the harmonies of its intonation ; her actions
are always earnest, it not impassioned ;
her peitiOnatione generally are sweet pictures,
Which, all who belie the tehtler Mid the beantiful,
delight to dwell upon. We are not of the opinion
that Mrs. Bowers excels in the portrayal of the
fiercer passions. She is emotional, rather than pas
sionate, and she veryjudieroutey confines herself to
these rOles in which her best friends conceive her to
be the most successful. Without being a profound
understander of the deeper causes which actuate
human nature, she knows enough of them to dell
elate, as well as she appreciates its prevalent co
operating sensibilities. Of Miss Mary Provost,
who will appear at the Walnut-street Thee
atre, there is not much to be said but
what is complimentary. She was successful in
this city last season, and she ceptivated a great many
young_gentleman whose principle object in lit esis to
stereotype the fashion plates in their own persons,
but whose interest in the dramatic art and science
is not diminished upon that account. Her success
is a great endorsement. Miss Avonia Jones we
cannot at present express an opinion of. We have
very good Accounts of her from the London papers,
and we shall feel glad to see her justify these ac
counts. "Medea" is a very depraved fortunesteller,
who appears to have had naturally a malicious dis
position. Enveloped in the halo of mythology,
however, she holds - a moat respectable position
among her cousin-germans, the Gods and God
desses. To portray the character, as it should be
portrayed, requires more than common ability, and
we shall be glad to herald Mise A.vonia Jones
as a correct and impassioned delineator.
THE Gasman OPERA.—" Fidelio" will be sung to
night at the Academy of Music with a cast decidedly
superior to Abet of last , year. Herr Himmer will
sing Florestan, Herr Hablemarin Jacquino, and the
concerted music will be vastly improved by the fine
voices of these admirable tenors. Rocco is the best
part of Herr Weinlich. As Pizarro, Herr Stelneoke
will appear. To Mademoiselle Canine. will be con
fided the charming music of Nareellina. and Madame
Jobannsen will repeat the exquisite personation of
Fidelio, which last winter was her greatest success.
The role is one of unusual difficulty, and of mammal
beauty. There is a modesty, earnestness, and deli
cacy in Madame Johannsen's performance, which
none who appieciate the mushier Beethoven can
fail to acknowledge and admire.
Fidelio" has but one rival, the "Don Giovanni"
of Mozart. Between these operas the golden ap
ple must be divided. Of all musicians Mozart is
the most musical, but " is the work of a
giant intellect ; it has the individuality of- a sepa
rate world. Like Mont Blanc, there -is nothing
above it; and its grandeur, - like that of the sea, is
unfathomable. No master can be compared with
Beethoven. He is alone. He rules over a realm of
sublimity and pathos, created by- his own genius,
and mentrolled by his own unparalleled arts " Fide
lio" is in musk. what "Hamlet?' is in the (Venia
unequalled, original, solitary.
"Fidelio" depends so much upon the instrumenta
tion—it has, indeed, been called more of a grand sym
phony than an opera—that Mr. Anschutz will have
a noble opportunity for his noble orchestra.. The
glorious choruses wiii be. sung with power' and full
effect, and a musical "performance may be expected
tonight of the highest interest to all who love the
highest genius. On Wednesday night, Mehul's
"Joseph in Egypt" will be produced.
NATIONAL BALL.—Mrs. Charles Warner (formerly
Mrs. Dan Rice) opens a circus season, on Wedness
day - evening, at the" National Hall. Very fair pro
mises'are made in regard to the satisfaction that is
to be rendered by the artists engaged. These pro
mixes we are more than willing to believe. The
comparative novelty of the undertaking, the great
variety of entertainments premised, and the sub
missiveness of the public to be entertained, warrant
us in looking for the complete success of the circus
troupe.
&Orion. BLITZ—With this gentleman, "to be, is
not to be ;" now you see, now you don't. With his
wit and skill combined, he excels (in magic) all
mankind. The Temple of Wonders is always popu
lar with the public, for there you may see the queer
Blitz, the quaint Bobby, and the pretty, talented
Canaries.
THE LECTURE OE Mn. ROBERT DAVIS OR the
"Siege of Charleston," which was announced to be
given at the Town Hall of Derby, will be delivered
by invitation in the Methodist Church of that place.
As the experienced and successful correspondent of
a leading daily paper during the operations of the
great siege, Mr. Davis is qualified to speak. His
lecture will occur on Thursday evening.
WE simply call attention to Mr. Carl Wolfsohn's
six classical soirees, advertised to-day. They de
serve, and will receive, more ample notice.
LHOTURES ON TWEE ART OF WAR: Professor 11.

continued on each succeeding Tuesday, until the

took place seaterdsy, throughout the day and eve.
ning, at the Scott M. E. Church, Eighth street;
above Dickerson. The ocoasion was the opening of
the upper sanctuary of the church for the purpose of
public worship. The church was erected in 1855,
but in consequence of the want of money it was
impossible to have it finished until the present time,
Heretofore, the regular exercises have been held in
the basement, but through the strenuous exertions
of the pastor, Rev. E. J. D. Pepper, and several of
the official brethren, the church has so far advanced
as to be ready for the purpose for which it was in
tended. At ley„; A. M. there was preaohlog by the

THE TELEGRAPH UNION.—At a meeting
of the Telegrapic Union of this city, held yesterday,
resolutions were adopted refusing to endorse the
action of the National Telegraph Convention re
cently held at New York, so far as concerned the
adoption of what is termed the "charity clause,"
allowing a certain amount per week to a sick mem
ber. As nearly all of the telegraph companies con
tinuethe salaries of the operators in case of sick
ness as well as in health, this clause was considered
entirely unnecessary. Exception was also taken to
the provir ion excluding , from membership in the as
sociation House operators and gentlemen who had
not been paper operators for three years: Great in
terest in the welfare of this new association is felt
by its members, and it will no doubt be placid on a
permanent basis, although its prospects htye been
considerably impaired by the recent proceedings of
the New York Convention.
