don and Liverpool advices by telegraph to
Thursday afternoon. The advices are one

Advices from Naples soy tbe Royal troops
had attacked tbe iusurgeuls who were en
trenched in the town of Covins, on the 18th.
A desperate fight ensued, lasting for three
consecutive days, when the government troops
received reinforcements aud compelled the
insurgents to retire to larlenica, and leaving
250 killed behind them. Tbe Uoyal troops
bad 300 men killed. Tbe town of t'avini was
pillaged and sot oh fire. Ureal misery pre
vails at Palermo. Since tbe execution of

ITALY.
Messina. A state of perfect tranquility
prevails, but tbe people are generally discour
aged. A number of persons have been ar
rested, and the citadels and prisons are crowd
ed to excess.
Tbe reports are very contradictory. It is
said that a Neapolitan General bad been cap
tured by tbe insurgents ; that tbe seat of
uovemment is about to ne transrerrod to
Messina, and tbe garrison of Palermo, though
numbering 20,000 men, are afraid to proceed
to tbe interior.
Foom Cuicaoo Tiik Gatiikrino or TUB
Rkpcblicanb. Chicago May 15. The crowd
in the city is enormous, aud constantly in
creasing. Last night there was a great
meeting in tbe wigwam, when speecbos were
made by various orators. Delegations are
bere from various sluve States ; Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, Missouri, Texas, aud
perhaps others. The friends of the different
candidates are working bard for tbem.
Tbe Sewardites are sanguine ; but tbe Penn
eylvanians insist on somebody tbat will be
more likely to carry tbeir State, and their
arguments are having effect. McLean, and
Bates are both urged strongly by moderate
men. Tbe Califoroians have a letter from
Fremont, withdrawing bis name.
Each arrival of delegates is received at
tbe depot by the City Committee, and the
delegates placed in carriages and conducted
in procession (beaded by a band of music)
to their quarters.
The address which was issued yesterday,
signed by Messrs. Clair, Greeley and others,
giving their reasous wby Mr. Seward should
bo rejected, and Mr. Dates nominated by tbe
Convention, has been decidedly detrimental
to tbe interests of tbe latter, and creates
some reaction in favor of tbe former candi
date. Some Stirling and reliable Republicans ex
press doubts as to the policy of nominating
Mi. Seward, and his success is by no moans
cortain ; but the main body of the delegates
and outsiders are decidedly in his favor, and
the chances favor bis nomination after a brief
straggle.
Bates and McLean are entirely ont of tbe
field.
Senator Wade, of Ohio, is now montiooed
as a candidate, and with a prospect of success,
should Mr. Seward fail.
Tub Southern Srcession Disapproved of
in Alabama akd Georoia. Mobile, May 15.
A large Democratic meeting was bold last
night, at which tbe recent secession of tbe
Alabama delegation from the National Con
vention was denounced, and a resolution
passed that Alabama be represented at Balti
more. Delegates were appointed to the
States Convention, to meet at Selma on tbe
4th of June.
Savannah, May 15. Governor Johnson,
and Judges Nisbet, Warner, and other promi
nent Georgians have written letters,' which
have been published, condemning the action
of tbe seceders at Charlestowc, and fevering
a representation of tbe State in the adjourned
Convention at Baltimore. Hon. Alex. 11.

Victory Miramon's Secokb Corps Cut to
I'ikcks Capture of San Luis I'otosi and
1500 Prisoners. Xciu Orleans, May 14.
Tbe brig Stetson bas arrived from Tampico,
bringing dates to tbe 5tb inst. The Pica
yune's correspondent reports a great battle
near San Luis I'otosi, between 6000 Reac
tionists and n large lores of Liberals. Tbe
larter were victorious, and tbe second corps
of Miramon'g army was cut to pieces. Eigh
teen pieces of artillery and 1500 prisouers
were taken with all the baggage, ammuni
tion aod stores. General La Vega, tbe chief
commander of tho Reactionists, with ether
officers, were captured. Generals Waguza
and Caravabal took possession of Sao Luis
Poiosi. A large number ef Liberal officers
Lave been summoned to Vera Cruz, to com
mence a combined attack against the capital.
The General Superintendent of tbe Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, bas issued a
notice calling the attention of parties owning
live stock to the following extracts from an
opinion given by Chief Justice Gibson, in
the case of tbe Railroad Company vs. Skinner
7 Harris, page 298 :
1. An Owner of Cattle suffered to get at
large and which are killed or injured on a
Railway, bas no 'recourse to tbe Company
or its servants; on tbe contrary, be may
be liable for tbe damage done by them to tbe
Company or its passengers.
2. A Railway Company is a purchaser, in
consideration of public accommodation and
convenience, of the exclusive possession of
tbe ground paid for to tbe proprietors of it,
ana oi a license to nse ine greatest attaina
ble rate of speed, with which neither tbe
person nor property or another may interfere,
No needless damage, however, must be done,
6. Tbe question as to whether tbe owner of
the animal killed knew or its jeopardy, was
ooi a maioriai inquiry in me case.
Owners of cattle, in esses of damage from
this cause, as will be seen from tbe above
decision, are not only witboot recourse upon
the Company, but are themselves responsi
ble for all damages iocurred in consequence
or same or oiner hock oostructing the track
A proper regard for tbe safety of tbe travel
iog public and tbe Company's employees, and
also or the property or the Company, d
mends that every effort should be made to
render tbe line free from such a fruitful cause
of injury to persons aod property.

tbat merchants are anxious to accommodate

EDITORIAL CUKRHPOSDKNCE.
Philadelphia, May 16, 18C0.
In my last letter from New York 1 referred
to tbe anniversary conventions, then In full
blast io tbat great city, and, among others to
tbat of tbe Anti Slavery Society, over wbicb
Win. Lloyd Garrison presides, his principal
co-worker and associate being Wendell Phil
ips, wbo Is sometimes referred to, by bis
coadjutors, as tbe silver tongaed orator.
Mr. Philips is a man of about 6 fly five years,
fair complexion and sandy hair, a prominent
nose, inclining to the Roman order. He is
slow and deliberate io bis enunciation, and
perfectly self possessed at all times. These
advantages, with a highly finished education
and well stored mind, aud a memory that
enables bim to illustrate almost every inci
dent with a well told anecdote, or historical
iocident, gives to bis speeches a rareness and
freshness that never fails to entertain his
audience, and bring down thunders of ap
plause from bis friends. The large ball of
tbe Cooper Institute holds about three thou
sand persons, and tbis was tilled oo this
occasion.
Garrison is a somewhat larger man, with a
head smooth and bald on the crown, a
swarthy complexion and a couture of face
similar to tbat of Mr. Philips. Tbey are
both wealthy and both refuse to hold any
office or tuko an oath to support under a
constitution which legalizes slavery.
Io tbe evening the Rev. A. B. Bradford
delivered an address on tho subject of slavery
thut was listened to with marked attention.
As an argument it was well arranged, me
thodical and logical in its conclusions. At
first it was difficult for those at a distance
to bear him, but as be progressed be warmed
np with bis subject, and his voice, naturally
weak, eould be heard over tbe entire ball.
Toward tbo conclusion bo w - frequently
cheered, in wbicb Garrison joined heartily.
Mr. Bradford docs Dot, bowover, entertain
tbe extreme views of tbe Garrison party. In
the course of his remarks Mr. B. referred to
tho visible as well as the invisible church.
Mr. Philips, tbe next evening, referred to
this distinction, and remarked that he could
not see tbe distinction, as ho looked apon all
our churches as sublimely invisible.
Mr. Bradford commenced by remarking
that tbis was a very young nation in years,
bat a very old one in guilt. It was even now
reeling ana tottering like a drunken man
under the weight of its guilt. Compared to
England and France this country was the
most advanced in guilt and crime, notwith
standing its superior advantages for civiliza
tion. Many wise and patriotic men really
faar tbat our people will throw oO all restraint
and go down to atheism in religion, and bar
bariBm in manners. Since tbe conquest of
California there have been 1,-100 murders
committed in tbat State, and only two con
victions. On a single day in June, 1857, in
tbe two States of Illinois aod Missouri, tbere
were twenty-seven men banged for murder.
He tben concluded in tbe following fierce
and emphatic language, saying tbis is the bill
of indictment 1 draw np against American
slavery as patronized and sustained by the
American cburcb. As a citizen 1 charge it
with being tbe enemy of my country,
charge it with boing the coli blooded end
deliberate murderer of Daniel Webster, tbe
prince of American orators and statesmen. 1
charge it with the political death and dectruc.
tioo of Franklin Pierce, who wanders, like
Cain, with the blood of the martyrs of Kansas
oo his bands. I charge it with offering tbe
knife of suicide to James Buchanan, and with
having already dug bis political grave deep
and alongside that of Franklin Pierce,
charge it with ell our Congressional quarrel
lings and distractions with fomenting and
selling on foot filibustering expeditions and
causing oil those sores that disfigure and wea
ken the body politic. Asa Christian, I charge
it with plundering four millions laborers of
of all their bard earnings from one generation
to another, thus leaching tbe American peoplo
both by precept and example, tbe great lie
that stealing is neither a sin nor a shame,
charge it with taking the Bible away from mil
lions of its victims, imbruting tbeir minds io
heathenism darkness, and then turning round
io its impudence and cursing tbe Catholics
for doing the same thing. I charge it witL
rolling back tbe tide of Christian civilization
in tbe South two hundred years and drying
op tbe fountains of benovolence and good will
to men ; for tbe Sandwich Islanders, who fifty
yoars ago were worshipping idols,, now pay
into tbe treasury of the American Board of
M isaions more money than all the slave States
of tbe Union put together. I charge it with
furciog millions ef our citizens and cburcb
members to live io concubinage and universal
prostitution by denying to tbem the civil
rights of marriage thus proclaiming another
grand lie, tbat human beings, in tbe midst of
such ignorance and pollution, can be fit mem
bers of the cburcb on esrtb and hopeful candi
dates for heaven. I charge it with making a
jubilee in bell and mourning in bcaveo, by
getting op revivals ofslsveholdiog religion
a religion that sells its own converts for
money a religion for whips and thumb
screws, of mauacle and sbranding irons.
The Women! Right's Convention assembled
the next day in Hall of the Cooper Institute, and
as usual, attracted a large number of persons.
When I entered, Reverend Mrs. Antoinette
Brown Blackwell, was speaking. Mrs. Black
well is a woman of about thirty, rather below
the medium size. She was neatly dreased in
black ailk with a white collar, a drea which is
adapted for all occasions and always becoming.
Her demeanor was that of a modest unpretend
ing woman with a cast of countenance somewhat
sad and subdued in expression. She spoke with
great earnestness, contending that woman was,
in every respect, the equal of man and should be
entitled to all his privilege. She was followed
by Susan B. Anthony, who hails I think from
Rochester. Susan is about the medum size, has
a clear loud voice and wears spectacle. She
eould no doubt, make a good stump speech.
Mrs. Rom is, I believe a Polish or German lady.
She spoke with a considerable foreign accent and
goes in for the largest liberty to the ser. The
ladies all seemed to think that tbe restrictions in
regard to divorce should be removed.
I am glad to tee tbat county meetings are
called ia a number of counties, where tbe
delegates to tbe Charleston Convention bave
misrepresented tbeir constituents. Tbis was
especially tbe case in Northumberland county
Our delegate, with a number or others, put
themselves, for sere keeping, ioto tbe bands
of Governor Bigler, to be used at bis pleasure
These men pretend to say tbat Guthrie was
preferred by their constituents to Dooglas
and yet it is doubtful whether many of them
know Guthrie, from tbe great Mogul before
tbe Charleston Convection.
COSGRESS.
Congress bas at last done something. The
House, on Thursday, the 10th inst., passed
a Tariff bill, and tbe Senate, the same day,
passed a Homestead bill.
Tbe Tariff bill is the one known as Mr.
Morrill's bill, and it passed, with a few slight
modifications, by a vote of 105 jew to C4
oays. The value of wool allowed to be im
ported free of duty was reduced from 20 to
18 cents a pound. It provides for specific
duties on iron, to wit : On bar iion, $15 per
too, plate $20, rail $12, scrap $6, and pig
$6 against the present duty of 24 percent

The Homestead bill passed by tbe Senate
was not the House bill of similar purport, but
an independent measure. Instead of giving
to every actual settler upon the public lands
a fro 3 homestead of ICO acres, as the House

On Saturday evening (5th) a sermon was

services, the people eaiae swarming in from a'
and the room, though large, was soon en
many were auaule lo obtain access. A nuiul
men were present, among whom was JJr Si
Chambersburg.
Oil Sunduv forenoon the Dnl
credit is due to the two preachers of the chu.
Rev'cls. BergiieraudKutzmger for the able and a- 1
ate manner 111 which it was conducted A feeiiag
solemnity seemed to pervade the whole audiriu-t
the ceiemouy. When concluded, Dr. Schueck d
sermon from Rev ai : yt!, which wasverv sdiho-
oood. Dr. Srhneck. accordiu to mv h,!,.i....i
be called "a good preacher." He la undouUe,
rare literary and theokigiaal attainments. A t
ot people were present : indeed I can sufelv '
so muny persons were ever assembled iu this
such an occasion. Not half iha number coi
mouated in tbe church, though capable of conta.
aix hundred. During the lime of preaching la the cl
the Rev. Ml. ttulelms, of Freebuig, preached t ,
outsiders.
Iu the afternoon the attendance was squally large. I ..
Rev. Mr. AngstM preached a very interesting and eloquent
sermon. The evening exercise was also hugely attended,
ati that still only about the half could nbtaiu seals.
Fre-icnins; by the Rev. Mr. Heriiuarger, of Trevorton.
On Monday forenoon the Itev. air. Outeliua nreached a
sermon from songs S : J, consisting of plain truth through
out. He bandied the "uaine christians" in a rather severe
manner. Among other touchiko remarks ha said that
moat of their church members bear thaaaMiof Christianity,
while they ate destitute of the rial rcbghN'S sentiments.
A number of catechumens were admitted to membership.
snd the Lord's Supper administered to the whole eong regu-
11011.
In the afternoon Dr. aVhneck delivered a lecture oa his
ttavels in Europe. It was ons of the most interesting
lectuies that 1 ever heard, and was highly appreciated by
the eitiiens, to whom the hearing of a lecture is a rurs
occurrence.
Thus passed a happy time that was highly tustrucuve to
all present.
