The victories over Price in Missouri, spoken of last week, all turn out real, and the effect of them is tett bring his invasion to a full close. In the army of the Potomac there has been the usual amount of picket firing, but no move ments of great moment. In the Shenandoah valley, those disgusting, unsoldierly and cowardly guerilla attacks continue, but gen erally to the disadvantage of the enemy. The entire army of Gen. Sheridan is rapidly recruiting its forces, and assuming its winter garb of heavy clothing and full supplies. Another week or two, it is thought, will place it in perfect order, and ready for an active winter campaign, or for, anything which the fortune of war may have in store for it.. GENERAL SHERMAN'S ARMY., The mystery to which we referred last week, in relation to the movements of this army, is not cleared up, except so far as to show that Hood was purposely allowed to approach the Tennessee, to make room for a new stragetie enterprise in an entirely diff erent, but as yet unknown direction. On the 9th inst., it was'announced that early in the previous week Sherman had returned to Atlanta with five corps of his army, leaving two corps in Tennessed, under Thomas, to keep an eye on Hood ; that he had destroy ed the railroad from Chattanooga to Atlanta, sending the iron to the former place, and had burned Atlanta and marched across the country for Cnarleston. The last two items in the report were, however, discredited in military circles. A Nashville date of Nov. sth further said that two days 'before, .the rebels were repulsed, with considerable loss, in an attempt to cross the Tennessee at the mouth of the Blue Water. The N. Y. Times contains a Washington account, under date of Nov. 9, to this pur port The news concerning Sherman's programme in Georgia, which has been tel egivhed to the country from a Western paper, will startle the publiO. Some of the facts had been known in this city. It is known that after Hood had gotten well into. Alabama, some weeks since, and after , Gen. Sherman had determined that it was not necessary to use his entire army for the pursuit of the rebels, the latter, with three entire corps, started back from Northern Georgia for Atlanta. His objective point was boldly asserted to be Savannah, for which place, it was given out, he would leave on the Bth, the Jay of the Presidential election, having first de stroyed Atlanta. It was thought he would touch at Macon, and would reach Savannah in a march of 25 days. The route is 200 miles, with no rivers and no creeks of im portance to pass, and leading through the most flourishing part of Georgia. Milledge ville, the capital of the State of Georgia, could be reached in six days from the date of starting. He will have rations for thirty days, but is expected to find supplies and forage on his route. His force for this great march will be between forty and sev enty thousand men, and he will have a large amount of ordnance, a construction corps, and pontoon bridges. There will doubtless be considerable destruction of property on the route, and tens of thousands of the hutl- died slaves of Georgia will be freed and in corporated into our army. Troops have gone North from Atlanta to Tennessee, and it is snpposed will destroy all bridges and important railroad routes. Rome will be evacuated and damaged. We will hold an outpost in Georgia, south of Chattanooga, which will be necessary to guard East Tennessee. Hood's army entire is nearly five hundred miles in the rear of Sherman. The gallant• Gen. Thomas, with an army, will take care of Hood in the absence of Sherman. He will have abundant force for this purpose, which will be appropriately stationed in Tennessee. Gen. Thomas is already prepared to fight Hood, who is somewhere in Northern Alabama, near the line of the Tennessee River. If Hood goes into Western Ken tucky be falls into a trap. A Louisville date of Nov. 10 says :—News has been received from Gen. Sherman's army of an important and favorable charac ter, but it is not published, being considered contraband. In addition, we have the fol lowing from Nashville, Nov. 10. General Gillem hits utterly routed the enemy in East Tennessee, driving him forty-four miles. His advance is 90 miles east of Knoxville. The rebels are at Bristol, being strengthened by the Virginia militia. The reports con cerning the destruction of Government property on hand at Johnsonville:ire greatly exaggerated, and no apprehensions are en tertained in regard to its safety. The de struction of Government and private proper ty on the river is complete, involving an immense loss. The election in East Ten nessee was unanimous for Lincoln. The fol lowing is the vote of Ohio and Pennsylvania soldiers at Atlanta: Pennsylvania—Lincoln -1,273 ; McClellan, 389. Ohio—Lincoln, 910 ; McClellan, 236. Our entire railroad and telegraph communications are complete and secure. Hood's exact whereabouts is un known to the authorities. The Federal movements will be developed at the proper time, and will electrify the nation. Later dates, without removing the secrecy from Sherman's plans, show that. Atlanta has not been abandoned or deitroyed. One _from Chattanooga,. Nov. 11th, says On Monday Morning, at daylight, the enemy attacked our pickets south of Atlanta, killed one and wounded two of the 3d Indiana, but subsequently fell back. The election on Tuesday was quite largely for Lincoln. On Wednesday morning the enemy made three attacks on ,A tlanta, their shells being ,thrown as far as tne rolling mills. The most desperate attack was made on the Rough and Ready road. The enemy's artillery wag within one hundred yards of our works, and their infantry and dismounted cavalry with -44 two hundred yards. Our, men, aroused 'from their sluixibers quickly, manned the defences, and soon drove the rebels off. There was no- Federal loss. The enemy were part of Young's command, and they finally retreated toward Macon. Our army is in excellent spirits, and well supplied with rations. Another From Nashville, Nov. 12, denies the reported evacuation and burning of Atlanta, and the destruction of the Chatta nooga and Atlanta railroad. NAVAL. The Pirate Florida Captured. The news of - this gratifying event - mak te briefly stated last week. It was ht tt: 14, Boston by the Kearsarge, Capt, , - yr- dtilnWc, under whose fire the Alabama met. White. The Kearsarge also brought a portidn - of the captured officers and crew of the Florida. The Pirate was taken by the •Witehusett, Commodore Collins, in Belie Harbor on the Brazilian coast. It appears that Captain Collins, having held a consulation with his officers, determined to sink the Florida in port. Accordingly, about 3 o'clock the cables were slipped, and the Wachusett steered for the Florida, hitting her on the quarter without doing any great injury. Captain Collins now called to these on board the pirate to surrender or he would sink her. The demand was- replied, to by the first lieutenant, "Under the circumstances I sur render 1" A hawser was now made fast, the cable slipped, and the Florida towed to sea. In the meelee several pistols shots were fired, and accidentally two guns from the Wachusett. Captain Morris and half the Florda's crew were ashore on liberty. No lives were lost. The Florida was taken completely by surprise, seventy of her men, it was known, being on shore. The others, having just come aboard, were asleep and intoxicated. The blow given the Florida by the Wachuse t carried away the mizen mast and main yard, which fell on the awning, preventing any of the crew from getting up from below. So unconscious was the officer of the deck of the intention of the Wachu sett's captain , that he sang out, "You will run into us it you don't take care," at the same time calling for a light. Twelve offi cers and 38 of the Florida's crew were cap tured. The Wachusett and Florida were to leave St. Thomui on the 2d instant, for New York. The fact that this capture was made in Brazilian waters may and probably will be come a subject for diplomacy, but we pre sume no serious misunderstanding need be apprehended. Chase of the Tallahassee. BALTIMORE, Nov. 10.—The following has been ieceived from Fortress Monroe : The gunboat Sassacas, which has been in search of the Rebel privateer Tallahassee since the 4th inst., arrived in Hampton Roads to-day, and reported that she fell in with a suspicious steamer on the sth, which was believed to be the Tallahassee. Chase was immediately given, and kept until dark ness set in and put the suspicious steamer oat of sight. On the following morning (Sunday) she was again discovered about twelve miles ahead, and the chase was re newed and continued during the .day, At one time the vessels were but five miles apart, when the stranger lightened ship and kept steadily on her course until darkness_set in and rendered the pursuit useless. When lost sight of. she was inside the lines of our blockading fleet, off Wilmington, N. C., and possibly she will be stopped. [Note.—This is no doubt the same vessel reported as having been chased on Monday, the 7 th inst., by the Banshee and Huntsville. MISCELLANEOUS. A Centenarian at the Polls in Sturbridge, Mass. —Deacon John Phillips, of Sturbridge, Mass., who is 104 years, 4 months and 9 days old, appeared at the town hall and de posited his ballot for Presidential electors and State officers. He was brought in a carriage, and then conveyed into the hall in a chair, supported by a platoon of return ed soldiers. Col. Edward Phillips, eldest son of the venerable deacon, now in his 80th year, then made an impromptu speech to the soldiers, in the course of which he said he was the oldest man in town who was born in town, and yet, said he, my father is here and "still lives." Death of a Forme U. S. Senator.--Tion. N. P. Talmadge died on Wednesday of last week, at Battle Creek, Michigan. He was a man of large abilities, and was for many years prominently connected with politics in New York. AM at one time occupied a seat in the United States Senate, and was at a later period Lieutenant-Governor of Wis consin. Tornado in Louis, November 10. —A terrible tornado passed .over the town of Chester, Illinois, at two o'clock yesterday morning. Over a dozen houses were'blown down and completely demolished, burying the sleeping inhabitants in the ruins. Five persons were killed, and 12 or 15 wounded —seven of them seriously. A brick church was blown to atoms. Several skiffs in the river were carried near a quarter of a mile up the Bluff. Emancipation in Maryland.—Mojor General Wallace has issued an order, setting forth that " certain evil disposed parties in Mary land intend obstructing the operations and nullifying as far as they, can the - ernancipa tion provision of the new constitution." He therefore orders that all persons within the Middle Department, heretofore slaves, are now free, and are under special military protection until the Legislature shall pass such laws as shall make Military protection unnecessary. Jeff Davis' Message to the I?e6el Congress.— Washington, Nov. 10.—The message of Jeff. Davis to the rebel Congress, which assem bled on the 7th inst., has come to hand. He reviews the campaigns of the Federal Generals, and deduces consolation from his own statement of the facts. About the Fed eral successes he is extremely reserved. It is plain, however, from the attention he gives to the subject of arming the negroes, that the rec: uitment of the rebel army is an _extremely. urgent matter. Davis opposes, %%general,- the arming of the..negro staves and says he cannot see the 'propriety or necessity;of,arming the slaves while there are so many white men out of the ranks. He would only ,drill and arm 'such negroes as'are always emploYedin the ,Quartermaster's and Commissary Dep-trt rnents, tic., and fill the "pieties of such by 'a draft of negroes,from the planters. He Would give only the reward of manu mission to such slaves as shall have served efficiently With arms in the field. In regard to the rebel , fmances he says they have be come so detoreeiared that Congress must provide some , remedy. The question of, foreign recognition or aid is dismissed, and he informs Congress, there is absolutely no I hope of any help from abroad. He gives foreign nations loud and lofty scolding for their want of sympathy with the-Struggling Confederacy, and comforts them , with the. assurance that the rebellion must rely sole ly on its own resources. Already, a:wide diversity of,sentiment on the question so startling in the South, as turning the negro slaves into *soldiers and rewarding (?) them with manumission, as proposed by the rebel President, has broken out. The Richmond Whig, of Nov. 10, says: "Two propositions are plainly deduCible from the President's message, to whier: we cannot for a moment believe he would de liberately give his. sanction. The first is: The condition of freedom. is much better for the slave than that of servitude, and it may be bestowed upon him as a reward and boon. The second is, that the Confederate Govern ment has a right to acquire pOssession .of slaves by purchase or impressment, with compensation, and then emancipate them without the consent of the States, or in case of the impressment, even , without consent of their masters. The first proposition is a re- Aaadiation of the opinion held by pthe whole Outh, and by a large portion of mankind !Aia, other countries, that servitude is a di iinely appointed condition for the highest good of the slave, and as that condition ;in which the negro race especially may attain the highest moral and intellectual advance ment of which they are capable, and one in which they may enjoy the most largely PaiIsADELPRIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1864. of such comforts and blessings of life as are suited to them. Of th swe have no doubt, and we hold it to be an act of cruelty to de prive the slave of the care and guardianship of a master. If the slave must fight he should fight for the blessings he enjoys as a slave, and not for the miseries that would attend him if freed. " The second proposition is still more startling, and it is a concession that the Con federate government has the power and right to exterminate slavery by the simple process of purchasing or impressing all slaves, and then emancipating them. Lin coln has never gone so far as this, for in his plan for compensated emancipation, he ex pressly referred the question to the States, acknowledging that they only could deter mine." The editor thinks that a pressure of busi mess has led the writer into inadveretnt ox pressions which do injustice to his rea meaning. The Financial Crisis.—The English financial crisis reached a point of great intesity on the 18th of October, Twenty mercantile firms engaged in the Americtin trade failed be tween that day and the morning of the 20th. Other.failures are reported from London and the English manufacturing towns. A Lon don bank manager committed suicide in a fit of despair at his position, as also a Mr. Drosten, a corn merchant in London, from the same cause. The British American Provinces are just now in Convention for the purpose of arrang ing a confederation, or merging the several provincial governments into one. We notice that some of the papers - are making a little premature difficulty about a name for the intended confederation: Columbia, Acadia Nova Britannia, Britain, Britannia, and Ca botia have all been named, but for one reason or another, none of them seem to take. The Montreal. Witness proposes to transfer to the new confederate province the name of the present central one, Canada, the name most widely known as the smybol of British do minion on this continent, "To be sure," says the Witness, " the Provinces as a whole are already possessed of a widely known and well understood name, that of British North America, but it is long, unwieldy, not euphonious, and coldly geographical. Patri otic and poetical feelings are easily evoked from such simple and' easy names as France, England, Spain, Greece. They could never be to the same degree by the complex and double or three-worded appellation we bear at present. Like the above countries we want a name not .only short, but entirely, and exclusively oi;tr own, while there is not one of the three ivocables of British North America that does not belong also to some body else. Our poeti and our eloquent men may well in a burst of enthusiasm say with pathos—' Oh Canada! I love thee ; but they will never be able without falling from the sublime into the ridiculous, to ex claim—' Oh British North America ! I love thee."' M. Du ChailluHeard From.—A letter, dated Fernand-Vez River, August 20, has been re ceived from M. Du Chaillu by Mr. Henry Claudet, of London, who taught the African traveller photogrpphy before he left England. M. Du Chaillu st4es that in a few .days he intended to stmt for the interior of the country, and th as he had , a. long journey befoie him, he probably should not return to England for two years. He speaks hopefully, on the whole, of his prospects of, securing a fine collection I f if 'African photographs, though he compLiins that it is terribly hot while shut up in "little box," in which he is obliged to operate, and says that he does not feel quite well sometimes after practicing. In a letter of the same date to another friend he says; • "I have sent a batch of gorillas to the. British Museum, and I have also shipped a live one,. which I sincerely hope will reach London in safety. I had three of them alive a few days before the vessel sailed for Engltind." Great Wine Year in. Paris.—Foreign papers say that nothing can be more magnificent than the vintage this year in all parts of France. In the wine district there is a superabundance of grapes. The proprietors of vineyards are actually puzzled to know what to do, their usual supply of casks having long been filled. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. In the name and by. the authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. „ AxDszw G. CusarN, Governor of the said Common wealth. A PROCLAMATION.--WHEREAS, it is the honored custom of Pennsylvania, to set apart on the recommendation of the Execu tive, a day for returninlz thanks to the Giver of all Good, the Shepherd and Bishop of our Souls: Now therefore, I, ANDREW G.

By the Governor: OIL StrascrurrroNs.—De.cidedly one of the best enterprises at present before the pnblic are the " Oil Subscriptions," noticed in an other column. - By 'carefully reading the advertisement, ; it will be observed that spe• cial inducements are offered to subscribers.. As "good wine needs , no bush," neither does this enterprise need any noticing fur ther than to bring it to the attention of the public. It-rs gotten up in good faith, and in good faith will be carried out. The MERITS of it have been investigated by cautious busi ness men, who have endorsed their opinion .of it by adding their 'namerto the list. When it is considered, first—that the tracts may be had by subscription at• no higher rates than they might in a body be sold for ; second—that the subscribers them selves are to form the company, and have the management of its affairs themselves; FOREIGN Great Britain. ELI SLIFER, Seretary of the Commonwealth and third—that the geological and other in dications are such that in their development handsome returns may with confidence be expected—we really think that those of our readers who avail themselves of the oppor tunity to secure one or more of the remain ing shares will ere long thank us for bringing the matter to their attention. ler Lis Newburyport Herald concludes an interesting history of the various substitutes for the large and costly pipe organ, with the following well-deserved-notice of the Cabinet Organ : " All these inventions were; how ever, but little more than a series of experi ments, a Striving after an ideal, which should combine all excellences and reject all imper fections, which, according to the universal testimony of the greatest musicians through-_ -out the world,-has at last been attained in the ' Cabinet Organ' of Mason & Hamlin. Those who - have had their ears pained by the thin, brassy sound of the Old-fashionbd seraphine, in which the wind• was forced instead of drawn through, or who have tried to be thankful for the improved melodeon, but wishing there was more of it, can hardly realize that an instrument of the same class should be capable ('Rauch power, richness of tone, and surprising effects as the Cabinet Organs. It is fortunate, too, that their ex pense is so low as to place them within the means of almost every family in the land ; and their- influence will, we doubt not, be unbounded in musical, aesthetic, and social culture." , - MARRIA.GES . , On the 10th instant, by Rev.

All that certain tract, piece, or parcel of land, containing one hundred and fifty acres, being and situate in Tionesta township, Venting° county. This property :s part of the Peirson tract, and also has a large front on Tionesta Creek. It has a large ravine on it, and some heavy oak, hickory and hemlock timber. There are about thirty five acv . boring ground. It is also contiguous to the property of an oil company now at work. No. 3. All that 'certain tract, piece or parcel of land, being and situate in Tionesta township, Venango county. This property contains fifty acres, of which which about fifteen acres is boring ground.

All that certain tract, piece, or parcel of land, containing twenty-six acres, being and situate in Corn planter township, Venango county. It fronts on Stuart's Run, and extends across to Sugar Camp Run, tieing not only near the forks of these two streams, but near the Allegheny River. It is part of the Waldo tract.

About six acres boring ground. On this tract is some very heavy oak and hickory timbett. (See map, show ng their locality.) Those , seven estates embrace four hundred and three acres, of which say one.f.nirth is boring ground. As will be observed, all these tracts front ; on the Alle gheny and its tributar:es. The advantages of being in navigation, where oil can be shipped dire 4 from the well without transportation. and, where timber ample may be had on :the property to feed the engine, is obvious. As the purchase of .either', of these tracts Would require more money than the majority of persons have at command, it is proposed to divide them into one hundred interests of one thousand dollars each, thus affording the man of limited means, as well as the capitalist, an rmportunity to secure an interest in this truly wonderful as well as money-making region. All of these properties have been seleeted for their eligibility, are unusually well, located, and if NOW put in market in bulk, might be sold for more than the subscribers will pay for them: They email contiguous to, 'adjoin, and are bettosee lands of the "Farrar," "Presi dent," "Bull Creek," and " Tionesta Oil and Lumber" companies, haying in the aggregate a capital of severa millions of dollars. A.B all are aware, the usual plan adopted for the de velopement of such .a Property is to form a company and issue certificates of stolk. The plan here pro_ posed may be, considered prefiniEnary to the organiza- tion of oue or more companies on these estates, which will cost the /00 ORIOMIL SCELICRIBBRS only one thousand dollars each, and are subject to no royalty, leases, or mortgages whatsoever, but aiH be got with an linguae. tionable title, in fee simple throughout. The subscribers can then, upon this aubstantirl and solid basis, organize one or more companies, elect officers from among themselves, each sub Scriber being equally eligible to the position of an officer of the company. In order that handsome returns may speedily be realized, these subscriptions ate based upon the propo sal-On that when tne list is full, [notice of which will be duly givena the subscribers i mmediately organize a company with a capital of 109,000 shares ai five dollars each, which will entitle each Subscriber to an- °rigout/ interest of 1,000 000 shares or $5,000 in the capital stock of the company, of which a reservation of ten per eent will give the company a stock capital of $50,0 n for the immediate developeteent,of their estates.
