Pennsylvania politician, who called upon Gene

him, states that the General was very frank in
expressing his dislike to such Copperheads as
Clvmer, and was equally open in wishing Gene

lormer statement that any soldier who votes for
a Copperhead, such as Heister Clvmer, will dU

the mines on the Pacific coas; but the South
with its fields of cotton, rice, and sugar, is the
proper place for them, and as she is now pros
trated by the ravages of war and the effects of
famine, they are needed to recuperate her

will be lost in tho "Chinese question," and then

Boston, Octsber 8. General Banks has taken the
stump in the district which he represented in the
last (iwt-ien of Congress the 8ixth Dlstrlot. He
made ais first tpeech in Charitstown, the priuolp.il
city in his dim net, this evening, before a very laree
sndlence. His speech was quite lone and somowbat
hiavy. In the first part ho told his constiiuonts
what part no bad taken in the recent Conrro-is, and
how mack he had tried to represent them with
ability and with train.
bpcaking of the part he bad taken in the question
of raising the pay ot members ot Congress, bo said
this increase ol compensation of members is not an
increase of pa, bat It is an equalization of mileage.
One gentleman ho sat near me in the bonne re

one here that I was bound to support. He made no
speeches. 1, 1 must confess, made many. It cost
him nothing to print. It cost mo about 9204 each to

Ibe payor each member's the same, but In
anci- nt limes uavel was difhcnlt, and in addition to
the pay forty cent a mile was allowed eaoh, and
tnus a member from tiie f'acitio coast received
several thousand dollars more than ono from the
Atlantio coast Now the only p.oper way to remedy
this was to equalize ihe mi cape It was necessaiy
to dc that at once, so that when toe K"bol States
snou'd return to part, eipa'e la tho Govornmont of
tl.e nation and by their good conduo:, or by tue

in further cxci'tinr himself, said he did not take
part in the movement nor assume the rosponsilu'ity
of it until li came up in connection with the subject
if tho equalization of bounties. He tnen deter
mined that wbatover would be the oonsequeuce he
would see that the soldiers had a recognition of

The equalization of milearo, as caused by the recnt
act of Congress, fives to the representative! trom

SPEECH OF SANTA ANNA.
The noted M, xican leader said:
Mi. President, Gentlemen of the Fenian Bro
therhood: If ever I rogrot'ed tho want of tho
kuowledpe ot the English language, it
is at the present moment, whon I would
wish to exprets to you tn jour own tongue the
heartfelt gratitude that I now experience. Various
are the honors that have been bestowed upon me
during my lifa by my own countrymen as well as
by the foreign powers of Europe. Yet they were
always conferred upon tne when I was in power,
aud men that are in power are always surrouuded
by many flatterers, by many adulator, but by very
few friends.
Yet to-dav an exile from my native soil, a stranger
in a oreign laud, the smallest attention shown to
me therein the smallest consideration ia my favor,
is most highly appreciated; for now! am not in
power, and my thanks aro, therefore, unbounded.
Yet it would be presumption on my part it I should
accept this demons' ration as a personal thing, to my
own pelf. No I I accept this demonstration in be
half of my native land of Mexico; and, lot me
confesi it, it is no surprise to me, and I may say I
almost expected it; lor the Irish are the people
who shou d, as by natural ties, sj mpatbize with
Mexico. Is not its re igion lhat ot my own country f
Do we not worship at the same altar T Are not we,
like their own Di ope. striving to free our native
lard lrom its yokef and why show that unlvursal
astonishment that the Fenians should contribute to
aid Mexico in becoming once more free from for
eign tyranny r And it is not for the firet time your
people have extended mo ihoir friendly help
W ben Mexico was invaded by that nob e enemy
on w hose hospitable roil 1 am now living, whore I
had arrayed against roe the powerful armies ot the
United Stairs, undertbat immortal hero, General
Scott, the flower of my army then were two com
panies of men from the Green Isle, and who bore on
their flag the image of their patron saint. Why,
then, be astonished that thev bow come forward to
my aid. Now, like the first time whon Mexico wai
lreed lrom ihe dominion of 8pain, and when lite
only commenced with me, I bad the glory of being
one ol the soldiers who fought for Mexico's
independence. Why not aid me now. now
when I am the last surviving soldier
ol my country's independence 1 I wish to
nal the history ot my lite by the same act by which
1 commenced it namely, to secure again lor my
country its independence. Yes, gentlemen, this is
mv ambition ; this is what I strive to accomplish In
a far land and In my last days. If d atn has spared
me on the battle-fields, whon from amid the shower
ot balls and fire I have oome out unharmed, this, 1
say was not wit limit a i-mma I fui i,.t I
will, that I muBt. that I hall secure once more to my
native land Us Independence. It is not a false or
vain ambition that makes me speak thus. In the few
day b that are allotted to me I have all that man can
want to make his lire tranquil and peaceful, fhcro
are no honor that a nation cad bestow upon its most
lavored one that has not been showered upjn mo by
Mexico.
1 1 Why, thensuppose for a moment that all my do
Bire is to rule again over the destinies of my coun
tryf Twelve years I have withdrawn from public
lile on foreign soil, deploring the disturbances of
my oouutry, yet not joining in its domestio qua -re s.
I could not remain silont and see the last faul blow

my old sword rusted ; they thought the old soldi r

will defend nie; my voioe is yet of some pretige

to lead an at my.
To gam or to perish is my motto, with IHp or
without it. I shall soon again stand on America's
soil bearing aloft that banner that 1 p'anted on the

An Item for Mr Peter Magnus. By a siugular
coincidence, the summer of 17C6 exactly resem
bled that of Ihe present year. Lord Chesterfield,

this within the memory of man; s-ince March we

There is "something new under the Sun"
after ail. What do you think of a "Mother and
ln'ant icception?" One of these novel audnoiv
fashionable receptions took place on Thursday
las'. The young wile of one of our distinguished
lawyers invited her lady friends to see her beau
tiful infant when it reached the advanced age of
four weeks. The rosv-liokiDg baby was attired
in a beautiful dress of lace, sleeves looped with
gold, and a broad blue sash around its virgin
waist. The mother wore an elegant French
gown of deep lavender, made in broad plaits at
the back, and floated from the neck iu a long
tra'n. Broad lavender ribbons were fastened
on each shoulder, brought down to the waist,
aud finished with a bow aud loner ends. The
point of the robe opened over a skirt of cam
bric, tucked with cluny between each tuck aud
lined with lavender; lavender gloves, and same
colored ribbons on her hair, completed a
most distinguished toilet. The receptlou
was from 2 until 4 o'clock, and dur
ing those hours the street in front of
the house was lined with elegant carriages.
Heiioitou was in the ascendaut. Fair forms
floated from the carriages, dressed in the latest
st le. Bounets, which looked like heal-diesses,
ba.-ques deep pointed, shawls of lace and cash
mere, dresses of moire and corded silk, and
diamonds, lent their richness for the occasion.
Tim perfume of the sweetest flowers tilled the
rooms, and the ladles gloried in enjoying them
selves all Ihe more within, when the nearest
pair of pantaloons was on the coachbox out-idc.
The conversation was especially unique. The
reception was not even profaned by a inau
wUer appearing. Many rich presents were
aivi n to the unconscious little cherub, on whose
account so much fuss had been mude. Even the
mviiatious were novel:
