THE NEWS.
THE war has become decisive, General Grant re
ports the capture of sixty pieces of artillery in the
battle before Chattanooga, together with a very large
number of prisoners. Toe general commanding ex
pected to make his headquarters at Red Clay, a
station on the pursuit toward Dalton:" Sherman,
Booker, and Palmer, were reported ten miles be
yond Chicliamauga, and our Advance guard had
engaged the enemy near Dalton. Rebel prisoners
say that their generals cannot induce their troops
to make a stand. The retreat was pell-mell, the
roads strewn with caissons, wagons, equipage, Sc.
Sherman is believed to have captured 2,000 rebels in
the chase, and Palmer has taken 4guns and see pri
soners. Gen. Logan had arrived at Chattanooga. At
length the Army of the Potomac has again advanced,
With immediate prospect of battle, crossing the river
at Germania, Culpeper, and Jacob's Fords, and our
centre was reported at Germania last evening.
Healy cannonading has been heard in the direction
of Orange Cour Mouse, where a battle was thought
probable, The enemy number 60,000, with etrOng
fortifications.
Oux correspondent at Memphis states that tishOp
Gen. Polk has been placed in command of Missis
sippi, and ordered to concentrate at Clanton and
Grenada, with design upon Memphis. His whole
force will not, number 15,000. The order of Sher
man, for the enrolment of all able-bodied citizens of
West Tennessee, had created great excitement.
Putve.rx advises received from the South doubt
less correctly represent that the spirit of contention
is rife in the South. Want of provisions, military
failure, diplomatic disaster in Europe, and the pro
posed exchange of black poisoners for white, are
causes of this angry feeling, which operates upon
the coarse and vindictive agents who Are trusted
with the care of the Union prisoners. In this con
flict of violent pass ions, the name of General Lee is
rapidly Laing, and that of General Bragg is obvi
ously on the wane. The people fill the air with their
lamentations at the loss of some of their generals,
particularly of Gen. Jackson, to whose death they
attribute most of their reverses on the battle-field
and the change now perceptible in the fortunes of
the South.
A PLOT to burn Richmond is said to have been
disclosed to the rebel authorities by one of the
Union prisoners in Richmond. The rebel papers
are terribly frightened over, this, revelation, and
speak in very wrathful tones of daylight, darkness,
dieolosure, and General Foster, without ones
thanking the alleged Yankee prisoner who
saved them. One paper treats at length the
subject _of the Union prisonera and the "Go
sterna:tent rations," giving the correspondence of
Zellers. Ould and Meredith. The Richmond Enquirer
virtually confesses that the rebels are nearly starv
ing themselves. The damage done by Gilmore's
Shells in Charleston is described, along with the
launch reconnoissance to Fort Sumpter.
GcN. -BURN:4IM holds his position as ever at
Knoxville. The rebel papers are telling of his de
feat, with the loss of 2,000 prisoners and 100 wagons.
Wheeler is in his rear, and Longstreet in front.
BY a letter of Gov. Sep mour he now assents to, and
Will forward the enlistment of negro soldiers in the
State of New York. They are to *receive the same
bounties from the State as white volunteers. He
cannot authorize the formation of new negro regi
ments, as the Presidents call says that the volun
teers are to be used to fill up regiments in the field,
but otherwise they may enlist, and will be counted
in the quota of New York. The War Department
has given authority to Gen. Spinola to raise a co
lored regiment.
Fon Clerk of the House there are a number of
candidates, among whom are Colonel Tappan, of
New Hampshire, and Messrs. Buffinton, of alas•
tlachusetta, and McPherson, of Pennsylvania.
Tau rumor that Gen. Sigel was to take the plate
of General Schenck proves unfounded.
Chattanooga.
As the National jubilee, less than five
Months ago, was celebrated in immortal
deeds upon the heights of Gettysburg, by
the brave army under MEADE, so now has
the National Thanksgiving been made for
ever memorale upon the heights of Chat
tanooga by the army of General GRANT.
As though by some Divine dispensation,
each of these national occasions has been,
signalized by a magnificent triumph to the
Union arms ; so that henceforth the observa,-
tion of both anniversaries will become a pa
triotic: and - a Christian duty. These days
twill Peach m rightly to estimate the value
of our Federal Union, and gratefully to re
member the men who have given up their
lives that it 'might not "perish from the
earth." The victory just achieved in North
ernDeorgia is, perhaps, the most complete
of the war, and the most crushing blow
yet dealt to the rebellion by General
GRANT, who in so many - fields has done in
valuable good to the cause of the Union,
and irreparable harm to the plans and pros
pects of the rebels. We are progressing
now to that advanced stage of the war
when the results of single encounters can
be easily seen and appreciated. For a long
time our loyal people complained, and with
much truth, that although they contributed
freely of their wealth, and sent forth their
Sons and brothers to the battle, they could
nowhere strike a balance that would show
how much the sacrifice had purchased.
They could count the cost, but could not
count the gain. Tennessee was redeemed
from the rebels only to fall again into their
possession ; and so alternately, as the
tide of battle swayed further North or
further south, would Virginia and Ken
tucky, and Missouri, alternately fall
under Federal and rebel dominion, At
last, however, the superior military power
of the North, and the justice of our cause,
are beginning to make their mark upon the
fortunes of the contest, and the day of " =-
decisive battles" is at an end. If our army
is but properly sustained, and GnANT shows
the vigor his career leads us to expect, this
battle will be the decisive battle of the war.
To make it decisive, we at home must do
our duty. Gaining this, the enemy might
have hoped to prolong the war until fo
reign intervention, or dissension in the
North, should enable them to make good
their claim to a distinct nationality. As it
is, the theatre of their military operations
becomes now contracted to so small a
space that• the alternative of retreat, which
has so often saved their armies from an
nihilation, no longer remains to them ;
while the diminution of their armies by
ten thousand men, at; a single blow, is a
disaster which not all the shrewdest coma
sels of the South, nor all the rigors of
another conscri taon
p, can possibly repair
NO''single. battle of the war has shown more

The Lesson of the victory.
In the midst of our rejoicings . over the
victory at Chattanooga, let us not forget the
..
great purpose that lies beyond'it. It ispos
sible 'that • BRAGG'S whole 'army has been
routed and destroyed, and that it no longer
exists as a military organization ; but it
would be unwise to act upon that assump
tion in the management of our campaign in
the Western 'country. The misfortune of
most of our victories has been that they
gave us too much, confidence, and, accord-
ingly, after Fort Donelsou we had Shiloh,
and after Antietam, Fredericksburg. We
know of the army under General BnAna,
that it is composed Of the soldiers of the
Southwestern country, the garrison of
Vicksburg, and LONGSTRRET'S division of
Lan's army. It recently passed through a
fearful battle, and was weakened by the
mere effect of war. It represents the strength
and power of the whole Southwest, and is
now the greatest military organization in
the service of the-rebellion. General BRAGG
recently divided it, and Sent LONASTRRET
to attack BITRIcSIDB. It is possible that the
knowledge of this movement 'of BRAGG,
in dividing his army led General GRANT
to make the attack that has resulted • so suc-
cessfully. This victory over BRAGG, hot
ever, does not include ' the victory over
LONGSTRRET ; and the retreat of BRAGG'S
army will only be final when we hear that
GRANT occupies Rome or Atlanta, and that
LONGSTRERT is on his way to Richmond or
Mexico. We know that GRANT is the
strongest general in the Federal army, and
that BRAGG is the strongest general in the
rebel army, and therefore we look forward
to their meeting with an intensity of inte
rest; which can only be appreciated when
we say that we regard Georgia as4he final
battle-ground of the rebellion, and that - if
BRAGG is overthrown, the keystone of the
rebellion is broken. •
We read this victory not in the light of •
fireworks and torches and illuminations,
but with our thoughts on the future. Wo
believe that this war has taught us to
care very little for the military triumph
of victory, but to care very much for
the political results of victory. Our interest
in the contest of GRANT and Bitiou has
little sympathy with the mete meeting of
armed men—the strife, the carnage, the
triumph. We know that the men under. ,
either leader are men of approved valor—
that they have shown soldiership that- may
claim the wonder and emulation of Eu
ropean nations—that they want no quality
of the warrior. To us it is merely force
against force, and as we know that the ene
mies of the country have exhausted them
selves to consolidate this army, its de
struction will be their, destruction.- What
we look forward to is a speedy peace. And
the question that presses itself upon us as
we read every bulletinis this : " How far is
peace from us now, and how will this sacri
fice and suffering advance it ? In Georgia
General GRANT has done his duty, and
we, the people—who stay at home, and COD.-
trol the Government whose- commission
General GRANT bears—we Must do ours.
Much will depend upon our action now. If
the Southern leaders, or the statesmen- of
foreign countries, find that we answer these
victories with noise and shouting, and in
the end lassitude and indifference, we shall
havO a prolongation of the war, and new
efforts to array armed men against the
Government.
To make this victory effective, we must
accompany it with such a demonstration of
power that the rebels will ftud. any further
effort at war useless. We must do this for
the purpose of strengthening and encoura
ging the loyal sentiment of the South. We,
know that the Southern people are tired of
the war, and'we must show them that not
withstanding all that we have done, we
have the strength and will to do far more.
The President has called for three hundred
thousand men ; let us raise this number, and
we feel confident that before they have gone
throtigh their first dress-Parade the rebellion
will be over. If, we wait, and tarry, and
clap bands, it were better that no battle had
been fought, 'for the fighting of battles
would be but the wanton shedding of blood.
GRANT has done nobly, and - JkLuAriz has set
forth on his march to Richmond to emulate
his noble deeds. Let us assure them that
their labors and trials are not forgotten nor
regarded with a selfish feeling .by these at
home. Let us move, and organize, and an
swer every call of the Governmentabove
all, let us raise the three hundred thousand
men. Then we shall be strong enough to
make all these victories, victories indeed—
and our triumphs will not merely be the
triumphs of a day, but so thorough and
final that their glory and power will be felt
for all time.
LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WASMNGTON, D. C., Nov. 27, 1863
Facts froth the lips of braye Union sur
geons, directly from Richmond, and now in
this city, which' they reached last evening ;
more than confirm, all that has-been stated
in regard to the horrors suffered by our pri
sorters in the capital of the great conspiracy.
Civilization will stand aghast when the de
tails of the, cruelty and scoundrelisq of the
rebels are revealed. Human imagination
cannot realize, much less attempt to give a
picture of the awful sufferings of the more
than twelve thousand gallant patriots con
fined in the several rebel prisons. The po
verty of the rebels themselves, the priva
tions of their own people, the_starvation of
their troops, might excuse them when they
failed to supply the ordinary necessaries of
life to the Union soldiers, buttwhen the
stealing of clothing and provisions sent
forward by private as well as by Govern
ment Union subscription, is connived at, if I
not defended, there can be no limit-to the
indignation of our, own people, and to the ,
_scorn of the people of other lands, 'against
the authors of atrocities which have no pa
rallel in the history of war. It is stated,
upon distinguished authority, that when.
General Solomon Meredith, the brother of
the Hon. William M. Meredith, and now
commissioner of exchange at Fortress Mon
roe, told Robert Ould, commissioner on the
part of 'the - rebels, that the food sent for the
relief of the Union prisoners, as well as the
clothing,' had not been received at Rich
mond, Ould indignantly denied it ; and
when General Meredith appealed to him to
- allow him to present witnesses in proof
of the charge ; from the released sur
geons who were then on their way,
and waiting for transportation homewards,
he at first refused the request, but finally
agreed to hear ;two of these gentlemen—
personal acquaintances of General Mere
dith. They positively and publicly stated
to Ould that none of the goods and none
of the clothing had been received at Rich
mond, upon which Ould prevaricated,
and attempted to throw the responsibility
upon the subordinate rebel officials-a Rich
mond. Considering that an ostentatious
announcement was made by these bold,
bad men, that they would allow our people
to send forward these contributions so that
the bodies of our brave fellow-cointrymen
:might be clothed in this inclement season,-
and their lives saved from death by starva
tion and neglect,. and then see the deliber
ate manner in . which these essential ne
cessaries have been withheld from the.
Union prisoners, and of course used for
their own purposes by the rebels them
selves—who will measure the height and
depth of this unspeakable turpitude, or
affix the proper condemnation upon
the authors of it ? I regret to say that my in
forMation leads me to believe that at least sixty
of the Union soldiers are perishang daily.
The surgeons now here testify not simply to
the insolence and the cruelty with which
they have been individually treated, but
also that they had not seen any meat for
four 'long - days before they left, and 'that
thtre was no immediate prospect of relief,
in view of the fact that, while the goods
sent by our Government and people were
accepted by the rebel authorities, they never
reached the Union prisoners.
Another piece of intelligence is only a
new evidence of the infamy of the rebellion.
The -rebel chiefs have had the audacity to
propose to exchange the Union prisoners,
-provided our Government will consent to
*Kim to the south all the rebels in our
,10nds7a propoSition the nature of which,
and the 'guilt of which, may be appreciated
when I toll you that they hold but twelve
thousand of our troops, while we have, 'ex
elusive of the prisoners just captured by
Grant and Hooker, more than forty thou
sand of theirs. What is to be done ? This
is the question that every patriotic man
asks as he contemplates these frightful
disclosures. The Government is doing,
and has done, its best. Our patriotic peo
ple have done, and are doing, their best. ,
Row are we • to master, this monstrous
;evil, save by awakening the :Northern
heart to a, new sense of the villainy
and barbarity of the rebels, I cannot
say. The effect of this inhuthanity
upon the soldiers of the Army of the
Potomac, and, indeed, upon the brave men
in every Union column, cannot but be elec
trical ; how the masses of our countrymen
at home will treat it I have little doubt..
Volunteering for the redemption of the re
public is a noble emotion, and when to this
is added the stern determination to rescue
our friends and relatives from the inhuman
grasp of the tyrants at Richmond, such a
popular feeling should be aroused as would
fill the ranks of the old armies, and precipi
tate a new one upon the rebel capital., Meet
figs should be held in. all parts of the loyal
States, and the facts I have laid before you--
Which will soon be verified by incontroverti
ble witnesses—be presented in such a light
as would lead not only to the extinction of
the conspiracragainst our Oovernment, but
to the punishment of all those who have
stood by and permitted these outrages upon
civilization and upon humanity. •

Special Despatches to The Press.
WARRINGTON, D. 0.. Nov. 27.
Army of the Potomac.
No news whatever has been received here today
up to 4 o'clock this afternoon from the Army of the
Potomac.
The firing in the front, reported by passengers by
the yesterday evening train, as • being iteard during
yesterday, from the line of the Orange and Alexan
dria Railroad, was doubtless the usual cannonading
occurring. when either party is driving in the ad
vanced pickets of the other,
Hardships of our Prisoners at the South
Surgeon W. W. MYERS, of the United States
steamer State of Georgia, who wee captured on the
14th of May last, by a band of North Carolina Ran
gers, in the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal, and
for a long time confined as a hostage for one Dr.
Green, of the Confederate army, hae just made an
official report to Secretary WELLas. For awhile,
he says, he had access to the hospitals where the
Union prisoners were confined, and since the
battle of Chickamauga the number of deaths
were some fifty per day, the most prevalent
diseases being those of the respiratory and
digestive organs. They had increased alarm-,
ingly lately in consequence of the bad food
given as rations, and the insufficient supply of
clothing and shelter. The cases coining from Belle
Island to the hospital all argue starvation. Ten
per cent. of the prisoners are sick men. Corn bread
and sweet potatoes comprise the only food given to
the sick, and there is very little of it. In one in•
stance the ambulance brought ists.teen to the hospi
tal, and during the night seven died. It is a sad
eight to look at the gaunt and sharp-visaged pri
miners.
Another Case of Conscience.
The annexed note has been received here, the

WASHINGI 4I bN, Nov. 27.--Accoimts received to•
night from the Army of the Potomac say that our
troops broke camp yesterdair morning, and marched
toward the Rapidan river in three columnii:
The right wing, supported by the 6th Corps, was
ordered to mosis at Sacob's Ford, below Raccoon
Ford ; the second wing to (hoes at Germania Ford ;
and the 6th Corps, supporteS by the Ist, to cross at
Culpeper Ford, which le Rituated between GertnA.
nia and Ellis Ford.
The centre column salved at Germania •about
noon, at which time only a small force of the Geor
gia cavalry were seenon the other side of.the Rap,
dan. ,
The latent reliable' intelligence is that Lee's forces
do not exceed 50,000 men. 0-en. Ewell, if not dead,
is least relieved of the command of his corps, in
consequence of disability occasioned by the stump
of his leg having broken out afresh. He has been
succeeded by General Early.
The rebel cavalry is, nominally, 6,000 strong, but,
in tact, much less. Early's corps is fortified from a
point near Mountain Run, south of the Rapidan,
follovQing -the crest of hills westwardly, Where it
connects with Gen. Hill's corps, which covers the
Rapidan and thence proceeding westwardly.
The enemy's right flank near the mountain is pro.
tented by a line of works diverging from the river
defences, running south,"and then southwest, re.
cently our own position at Gettysburg. Oar cross.
ing points, therefore, were all between the Rappa
hannock and the rebel position.
A portion of our troops reached the other side of
the Rapidan yesterday, and the remainder today,
together with the headquarters, which moved at
nine o'clock this morning. -
The enemy were discovered in force, but con
tracted their lines and Yell back from the river. No
opposition was made to our crossing, except at one
of the upper fords. .
Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning heavy can
nonading commenced, and continued up to 5 o'clock
this afternoon without intermiesion, but no particu
lars of the engagement have been received at Wash
ington. The firing was probably along both sides
of the plank.road in front of Orange Court House, as
this was expected to be the battle-field.
At a late hour last night, Major Moseby r with a
large force of cavalry, captured a train while it was
moving from Brandy Station to our front. He
secured fifteen of the wagons and a hundred and
thirty-nine mules, besides burning nineteen wagons,
Which were loaded with oats.
Altliv Or Tar. POTOMAO, Thursday, Nov. 26.
During the last two days the roads have dried up al
most miraculously, and travelling is comparatively
good.
The Army of the Potomac is again on the march.
By"this time it is probably in front of the rebel
works on the Rapidan.
Skirmishing With Lee's rear guard is going on all
this day. A battle to-morrow is considered immi
nent: The army is in splendid condition. It only
needs to be led to victory. .
A man came into our lines yesterday who has,
within a few weeks, traversed nearly the whole ex
tent of the so-called Confederate States. Recently
he was in prison as a spy, but managed to escape.
He confirms all that has been reported as to the
scarcity of provisions and general discontent at the
existing state of , affairs everywhere.
Lee is represented to be near Orange Court House
with what army he has tear at hand. He "estimates
Lee's force as follows : Forty-tWo thousand infant
ry, eight thousand cavalry, and one hundred and
forty-five pieces of artillery. -
A battle is expected at Germania Ford or at Ja
cobs' mill, perhaps at both. The corps of A. P.
Hill has the left of the rebel line, that of Ewell the
right. Hill's corps was reviewed by Jeff Davis-in
person on Tuesday, and Ewell's yesterday.
Information has just been received of a positive
nature that the rebel Geperal Posey has- died from
wounds received at the battle of Bristow- Station.
Ewell has been absent from his corps for some
time from sickness, and it is reported- in the rebel
lines to-day, that he also -is dead. Early is coin
manding the corps temporarily.
Major General Disney applied for and received
leave of absence for twenty days on account of a
severe attack of rheumatism ; but on being advised
of the contemplated movement to-day by his corps
commander, General French, replied that he should
not avail himself of the leave unless he should find
himself among the stragglers.
Jeff Davis came up from Orange to the Rapidan
yesterday, and reviewed Hill's corps. Some closer
ten! say that if there is a battle, Davis will rtemain
with Lee.

TFIE CAPTTJRE'OF MISSIONARY RIDGE.
Nsw Yon.K, Nov. 27.—A Washington despatch to
the Tribune mays :
Very full semi-official 'des - P
Itches descriptive of the
operations of Wednesday in front of Chattanooga
have been received here. They speak in terms of
the moseenthuidastic admiration of the conduct of
the troops, and particularly of that of the divisions
of Generals Wood and Sheridan, now embraced in
the command of General Hooker. These men, ex
cited by their success, in: carrying the rifle pits on
the slope of Missionary Ridge, which they had been
ordered to take at all hazards, rushed up the preci
pice beyond and carried the crest of the hill, cap
turing some thirty cannon and thousands of pri-
stoners.
Neither Grant nor. Thomas believed that the hil
could be carried by a direct attack. No orders for the
assault were given, and the officers were literally
swept along in the current of the soldiers. under their
command. The hill beside being exceedingly steep,
waa enfiladed by artillery, both to the right and left,
and the men were also exposed to a heavy fire from
the rifle pits in front. This was regarded by the
rebels as the strongest part of their lines, as indeed
all but impregnable, and Generals,Bragg and Brack
inridge were so confident that they Should be able to
hold their ground, that they. staid almost to the
last, and narrowly escaped being taken prisoners.
Notwithstanding the terrible Ore to which the as.
mulling columns were exposed, the casualties were
extremely small. A few.hundred only are reported.
The number of rebels taken prisoners is reported at
3,600, brit it will be largely increased by stragglers,
of whom large numbers had been, and were still,
coming in this morning.. The statement in the As-
SOciated Press telegrams, that Bragg is in full re
treat, were premature at their date, but may be
true now. This morning, Bragg's forces were
massed near Rossvillealn the forks , of the Chicka
mauga,' to the left of the position just won by our
army.

of the grandest exploits of the war. ,

side still holds Knoxville, and has held his position
for ten days, against large odds. He is a moral and
military hero, and has endeared himself to the
Union men of East Tennessee as no maa ever did,

THE FOOD AND CLOTHING SENT TO RICH
• lOND PRISONS.
It is feared that the clothing and provisions sent
by our Government to the naked and famishing of
ficers and soldiers of the Union Meareerated in Rich
mond, have never reached their destination, but have
been diverted to Gordonsville for the use of Lee's
army. One who saw the prisoners, 2000 in all, on
their way to Danville ' whither they have recently
been sent by the rebel. authorities, says that not a
blanket was to be seen among them, and that they
were all extremely ragged, and inevitably filthy.
Gen. Meredith, and those to whom he has commu
nicated the facts in his possession, believe that the
rebels have inhumanely broken faith with our Go
vernment in this matter.
Latest from General Grant's Army.
CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 27.—The ;situation tonight
is highly satisfactory. .
The commands of Generals Hooker, Palmer, and
Sherman are nearly ten miles; beyond Chickamauga
in pursuit of the crumbling army of Bragg, which is
making every effort to escape.
Our advance guard had a sharp fight- near Dalton
-this morning. The a advance, under Gen. Palnier,
took four guns and three hundred prisonere.
• Gen. Sherman is reported to have advanced from
Tyre Station, on the left, to-day,eind cut'off 2,000
rebels. ,
The roads along which Bragg is retreating' are
lined with caissons and siagons, together with com
missary and medical stores.
Theprieoneis taken say that it is impossible for
the rebel leaders to snake their troops stand.
Col. Lang, in command of a cavalry detachment,'
returned from, a raid on the East Tennessee rail
road to-night. His party deatroyed the road fer
Edteen miles above and below Cleveland, burned the
_
rebel foundry at Cleveland, where a large quantity
of ammunition of war was stored. and one hundred
wagons loaded with baggage, besides capturing 300 .
prisoners. Col. Lang was captured subsequently
by a superior force of 'Errantry, cavalry, and milli°.
ry, but succeeded in bringing his prisoners off.
Our loss in the three days' fight will not exceed.

[FOR ADDITIONAL CITY NEW, BEN FOURTH FACBa
LECTURE BY ME. - E. P. WHIPPLE, OF
Bowrox.—Last evening, Mr. E. n Whipple, of Bos
ton, delivered, at Musical Fund Hall, an interesting
lecture on " Young Men in History.” The lecture
was in behalf of St. Matthew's P. E. Church, The
theory of the lecture was to prove the superiority of
youthful genius in most of the progress of the age.
Youth is the beginning and the end of improvement.
Youth is life, and spirit, and advancement. He dis
cussed the results to individuals and to societies of
the possession of youthful faculties. The young
man who would put no restraint upon his will or
passion, would, if he were gifted with strong
powers, become a Nero . or a Caligula in history.
The ruffian type of young men seldom makes itself
known in history, unless where the powers'of the
mind are impotent and weak. There have been ;a
few who have occupied a bad eminence, in history,
because they have used their talents to a bad pur
pose. Examples of youthful perversion were given
in Alcibiades and Byron—the former in politics,
and the latter in literature. Both were instances of
mental ability, joined to presumptuous self-asser
tion. They tilled the world with their gospels of
desperation and despair. From their excesses, they
died at an early age, rliserable and degraded. Byron
died at 36, when he should have lived for many more
years of usefulness, had he not committed suicide.
Byron was old kt. 25. Woe to the young shoulders
that carried old age ! The speaker touched upon the
flippancy of youth; and showed how self-vanity per
the mind, and blunted it for the, exercise of
good. The character of the young men of France
during her revolutionary times:-was atqlyzed to
show the dangers that always result from an enthu
siasm uncontrolled by restraint. The history of
Wars had shown that young generals had nearly al
ways; won victories over older ones. Charles XII.
was only 19 when he won a great victory, Conde
22, Scipio 36 when he conquered Carthage, Hannibal
30 When he struck an annihilating blow at the Re.
public of Rome, Napoleon was but 26 years old
when he had already out-generaled the marshals of
Austria on the fields of Italy. Instances were given
of ,the extraordinary benefits to society resulting
from the mental activity of youth. To it science,
lairature, and mechanics were very largely indebted
for their brightest achievements and glories.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—Last evening a
man named James Roney, aged forty years, was ad
mitted into the Pennsylvania Hospital; having been
severely injured by falling from a second- story door
way, on Delaware avenue, near Pine street. It
seems that he was in the act of pushing the door
open, when he lost his balance and fell headlong to
the pavement. The blood gushed out of his ears.
John Riley was also admitted into the hospital,
having . had Ms right leg fractured during a fracas,
that took place on Thursday night, at one of the
places of amusement. _
TRE STARVED PRISoNERS.—PerSOILS Who

SALE OF FIVE-TWEETIES.--The subscrip
tion agent reports the sale of $0753,500 in thre,twen
ties yeaterday. These sales are about equally di
vided between the East and West. The anxiety
concerning the extent of Grant's 'success, and the
safety of Burnside, has probably lessened the sales,
which have every promise of being a millipn a day.

A New Poem.
BY H. W. LONGF&L LOW.
The following lines, whatever may be their metri7
cal merits, have certainly a noble theme for their
subject—the worlitrenowned Wheeler & Wilson
Sewing Machine. These celebrated machines are
not only sung in the poet's verse, but their praises
are syllabled in thousands of happy and well-regu
lated homes, No home can, in fact, be said to be
complete without:one of these elegant, labor-saving,
and
.life-fireierving instruments. In workmanship
and style of finish they are fit to adorn the most ex
quisitelpfurnished parlor, while the music of their
not noisy but cheerful clatter is, in hundreds of in
stances, superseding that of the piano forte. Lit
'every, man who has not yet done so, make the object
of his affections supremely happy, during the coming
holidays, by going to the brown atone edifice, No.
704 Chestnut street, and selecting one of these superb.
Sewing Machines :
I wish a Sewing Machine to find,
One that will quilt, and will fell and bind,
And make all the children's clothle.
My wife to sewing is now a drudge,
As from the house she can rarely budge,
She both pale and languid grows.
Go to the Wheeler & Wilson store,
Chestnut, near Seventh, seven hundred and four,
• And there you'll be sure to find
Machines that will hem, and braid and fell,
And do every kind of work so well,
That to buy you'll feel inclined.
The stitch, the same above as below,
Requires no shuttle to come and go,
And draw the thread with a jerk ;
On a neat bobbin the cotton is wound,
Which, turning eveUltrotold and round,
Makes the mosiutitul work.
Call at the Wheeler Wilson. store,
Chestnut, near Seventh, seven hundred and four
With this your memory tax.
In their west you'll surely see
A lady as fair as fair can be,
Although she is made of wax.
WONDERS OP THE G.P.OTER & BARER
§,nwirr6 MACIIMIL—WhiIe it is true that the in
vention of the sewing machine is one of the most
beneficent achievements of modern times, and all
the world ought to know it, the fact ought, never
theless, to be prominently kept before the people
that, for various reasons, the Grover & Baker ma
chine, sold at the splendid warerooms, No. 73,1 *
Chestnut street, is vastly superior to all others in
use. -Much is said about the, various stitches made
by the different machines, but it is conceded by all
who have applied a practical teat, that the famous
"Grover & Baker" stitch is inflaitely the most
durable. Fabrics put together by it may wear out
and drop to pieces from original weakness or hard
usage, but come apart or givs,way at the mime they
cannot ; they will actually ilold together when the
cloth or calico around them hangs in rags and tat.
tero. This is certainly an invaluable feature, :eepe
daily as the seams, strong as they are, may be
taken out of articles, requiring to be altered, with
the utmost facility, by simply beineshOwn how to do
it. Adding to these advantages of-the Grover .&
Baker machine the crowning glory that it performs
what no other machine in the world attempts to:do,
namely, the embroidering of cloths in the most
beautiffil manner, and we have in the Grover &
Baker instrument the most, perfect sewing machine
in the world. We mention these peculiarities more
particularly at this time, from the fact that hun
dreds of our citizens are now purchasing presents for
their wives, sisters, daughters, mothers, or sweet
herirts; and the Grover & Baker machine id the one
of all others that should be selected for this purpose.

given in these columns that the moat elegant gar
amnia made in this city are got up and sold by
Messrs. C. Somers fe Son, N'o. 625 Olieatnut street,
under Jayne's Hall, we have it in the fact that this
respectable old firm is attracting the patronage of
our very first citizens. Their garments, both ready
made and made to order, are unsurpassed in grace
and worlimanahip by any others in the country.
PEOTOORAPHE FOB HOLIDAY GIFTS.—
The varied and elegant styles of Photographic pic
tures made by Messrs. Wenderoth be Taylor, Nos.

them universal popularity for presents. AU who

ment. The magnificent new picture by Mr. Wen
deroth, entitled "A Breath of Fresh Air," is still
attracting multitudes of admirers.
" TnE UNIONIST."—This is the appro
priate title of an elegant new style of Black Felt
Hat, just introduced by Mr. Warburton, No. 430
Chestnut street, next door to the Post °face, and
which, from its grace, convenience, and comfort, no
less than its identity, in a modified form, to his pa
tent Army Folding Hat, which has obtained such a
universal popularity among military men, bide fair
to become as great a favorite in America as the
"Republican Hat," "Liberty Cap," and "Kossuth
Hat" have at various times been among the nation
alities of Europe. "The Unionist" has everything
to recommend it to a gentleman of taste, and has
withal an Individuality about it at once significant
of the capital items it boars, and is every way wor
thy of being the National Hat—the civic badge of
loyalty—as we believe it is Boon destined to become.
We may state, in conclusion, that the slightly varied
styles adopted by Mr. Warburton in trimming "'rho
Unionist," will contribute materially to its popu
larity with the civic public.
DEPRECIATION IN THE PRICE OF COAL.
—The fact that (Joel is now selling at fabuloutly
high prices, and the prospect of its reaching a still
higher figure, is sending everybody to Alter% Ninth
street above Poplar, for supplies, mainly because he
is still selling at more reasonable rates than many
others, and partially because of the confidence which
the public have that Mr. Alter will be the first dealer
in the city to knock down the price of coal the in-
Stant it is possible to do so. Alter is a public bene
factor.

month, three hundred millions in legal tenders were to
be called in and cancelled, the whole country would be
