To the; Editor of the New York Tribune:— BIB . : You publish in this morning's paper a card from Mr. J. B. Chaffee, in which he says: _ I 'most emphatically deny that a coin pany of volunteers, formed of rebel prison ers enlisted at Chicago, voted for Mr. Chil cott at the recent election in Colorado." Npw, Sir, notwithstanding this denial, I assert, on the authority . of the poll-book which I had in my Possession, and which is yet within my reach, that a company of gal vanized rebel soldiers, recruited from the rebel prison at Chicago, organized an elec tion poll—under the direction of their officers at Fort Sedgwick—at the election for Con gressmen in August last, and that every one of these rebel soldiers, without the slightest shadow of right to vote, did vote, and their votes were counted for Mr. Chilcott. Mr. Chaffee talks about that of which he :.knows nothing, and cannot possibly have .any knowledge. He also says: "Ek)v. Cummings declared himself that Mr. Hunt was elected. - and gave him a certi -float° to that effect before the vote was can -vassed." To this .I simply reply, that it is a positive, ideliberate and•unquahfied falsehood, with oufthe slightest foundation in truth what ,ever. I presume Mr. Chaffee could hardly /aye supposed.l was so near at hand to con front his misstatements,or he surely would Toot have ventured on so much recklessness and folly ALEXANDER CII3LISLINGS.

Enough of kites already Nil Oar Eagle's neat, I trow! • Be not the kestrel of the flock, John Morrissey, my JO! French opera. Owing to various untoward circum:. stances, the audience at the Academy of Music, last evening, was small, There had been announcements in the Sunday papers and in the Ledger, of Monday, that the per formance would not take place, and there were objections -made--by some that the in stitution for whose benefit it was to be given, had a political character. But those wno went to the Academy had a real treat. The opera of Le Songe d'une Mat d by Ambroise Thomas, is one of the best pro ductions of the modern Opera Comique. The story is clever, though most improba ble; Shakspeare, Queen Elizabeth and Jack Falstaff appearing in most extraor dinary relations. But the music is graceful and sparkling, and it was performed admi rably by the excellent artists of the com pany. M'lle Middle, who played "Queen Eliza beth," is a chanteuse Legere of the very best French school, and she was repeatedly and warmly applauded. Mlle. Laurentis, who appeared as "Lady Olivia," is also an ex cellent artist. "Shakespeare" 'was played by M. Anthelme, who has an agreeable well-trained tenor voice, and who acts with fervor and intelligence. The "Falstaff" of M. Vert was clever, though as little like our conceptions of the part as can be imagined. The choruses were admirable, and the or chestra, brought entire from New York, was as nearly perfect'as could be desired. We understand that there is a prospect of some fuxther performances bere by the company of MM. Juignet and Drivet, whose repertoire already includes nine operas thoroughly rehearsed and mounted. In connection with this subject we have re ceived to-day, from the nianagers a note which we translate as follows: `To the Editcrr of the Evening Bulletin:— Sul: Many p &sons interested ixt the s nccess of our enterprise have reproached us for giving the first performance of French opera for the benefit of an institution representing a political opinion which might offend part of the public, who might, it is said, have stayed away from the theatre on that account. We must, therefore, for the sake of truth, re mind the,pnbho that this performance, as all the journals have announced, was not organized by us, but only with our conchr rence. It was not till after , the personpr ganizing it had given it up, that, not wish ing to fail in the ;respect we owed to the public, since our company was announced, we resolved to come in spite of every thing. even with a certainty of losing money. We have always held as a principle that a theatre, especially a foreign one, ought not to mingle politics in its business, and we repeat here that we have not been the repre sentatives of any opinions, our flag bearing only the single word, - Art. " JITIGNET AND DRIVET." Rev. E. E. ADAMS, D.D.—We understand that Rev. E. E. Adams, pastor of the North Broad Street Presbyterian Church, has been unanimously elected President of Maryville College, near Nashville, Tennessee. This is a merited compliment to the gentleman named; but hewill scarcely consent to leave the field where hp has so successfully la bored, and the congregation which he has built up through his energy, piety and elo quence. Dr. Adams has been in ill health for some months past; but he is now re covering, and his friends trust that he will soon be enabled to re-enter upon his ac customed routine of usefulness in our own city. INESTRIICTION ON THE FLllTE.—We:call attention to the advertisement of Mr. Auto nino Rallo, the accomplished flutist of the Arch Street Theatre, who will give lessons on that favorite instrument. He can be re commended in every way. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER-. 0,1866. SOUTH AMERICA. THE GREAT WAR. The Attack on Curupaity---Officlal Reports of the Assault on September 22d. We have files of Brazilian papers to Oct, 9. We give below some interesting docu ments on the unsuccessful attack of the Al lies on Curupaity: 111 m. e Exm, .Sr., yesterday at 113 A. M., after the squadron had with a heavy and well directed cannonade bombarded the fort and lines of fortifications of Curupaity, from 7 o'clock to that hour,accord to oar combination with Vice-Admiral the Vis count de Tamandare, at the moment when the iron Wads Brazil, Tamandar6 and Bar rose forced ,the stockade under a very heavy fire from the enemy's battery, the two columns of attack and one of reserve of - - my command which were. awaiting this moment in convenient positions, received orders to advance, the left column directing its attack on the extreme right of the ene my's intrenchment. where the battery of Curupaity is established, and the second column at the centre of the same intrench went. At the same time a column of Ar gentine infantry,having in reserve another, advanced upon the enemy's extreme left. The attack was vigorous, obliging the enemy to abandon his first line of intrench ments, which consisted of a ditch of nine feet width and seven feet depth, with a cor reSpondivg parapet garnished with field ar tillery, which retired. Having transpassed this first obstacle under a shower of grape which was thrown from a great number of 68 and 32-pounders, it was impossible to attain the centre of the second line of defence, which consisted of high parapets with a ditch of 18 feet width and 15 feet depth s at whose ends they had raised me grotlio. and &instructed - oft WSW two strong block-houses, bristling like all the rest of the line with heavy artillery, an overflowed bottom, rendered insuperable by abattises placed in them, existing between the two intrenchments. In presem, then, qt 4 4 ? Plw and suck powerful obstacles it was impossible to carry by assault so strong a position, in which the enemy had concentrated the greater part of his forces. Even so, accord ing to the information I have, more than 40 brave men penetrated into the Fort of earn paity and got possession of four pieces of cannon, but who, as was to be expected, were victims of their patriotic daring. As soon as I have knowledge of their names, which I am undertaking to ascer tain, I will send them to Your Excellency, that not only these but other acts of true 4bnegation may not remain without recom- Be • The Argentine column encountering the same insuperable difficulties in its attack, notwithstanding the gallantry with which it advanced, in accord with Gen. Mitre I ordered a retreat,whieh was effected in good order, carrying in not only our wounded, but also our dead, without a single one of the enemy daring to go out of his line to give us a shot, although his artillery fire ceased only at 3§ o'clock, when the forces covering our retreat were out of range. Many and much felt are the losses occa sioned by this frustrated attempt, as Your Excellency will see by the nominal relation of the officers and resume of the dead, wounded and bruised, which I have the nonor of adjoining. According to a note showed to me by Gen. Mitre, the Argentine army had more than 1,500 hors de combat, among them many superior officers. - As soon as possible I will give Your Ex cellency a detailed report of all .the occur rences during the assault of the 22d of this month. BARON DE PORTO-ALRORE. Curuzu, Sept, 24, 1866, Second Corps of the Arniy Against Para- Killed—Officera,34; privates,344. Wounded —Officers, 119; privates, 1,261. Contused-- Officers, 9S; privates, 94. Total, 1,855, The fortifications If Curupaity were mounted with 56 pieces )f cannon and de fended by 14 battalion's; the attacking forces comprised 18,000 men, half Brazilians and half .Argentine. According to the report- of Admiral 'Ca mandare, at 7 A. M. the iron-clads Bahia acd Lima Barron steamed up in sight of the fort of Curupaity and opened fire while the iron-clads Brazil, Barroso and . Tarnandare, three wooden vessels,, two bomb vessels and three armed flats bombarded the works from a position unexposed to the enemy's direct fire. At S the enemy were keeping up a heavy artillery fire upon the marching columns of the army. At midday the stockade was forced by the iron-clads Brazil, Banos° and Taman dare, which placed themselves in a position to', throw grape on the enemy's battery, while the irouclads Lima Barros and Bahia, and the Parnahyba, Beberibe and Itlage, placed obliquely to it, tried to dismount his cannon, composed of six 68-poudners and some 32e. then ordered all the fire to converge on the fort, as the stormera were already ad vancing, and the artillery and musketry fires were general along all the intrench ments. At 3 the very heavy fire of Paraguayan artillery continued, and the allied army 'had not yet obtained any advantage, Gens. Mitre and Porto Algre then resolved to effect the retreat of the two armies to their positions at Curuzu. The fort of Curupaity directed its fire on the ships at the side of the Gran Chaco from midday, and principally on the iron-clads Brazil and Tamandare,.whieli fiad the star board plating seriously damaged. Some plates were• broken, many bolts started, and the backing of wood, on the same side of their casemates gravely shaken. Two 68-pounders were dismounted on the Brazil, and a great number of balls entered the ports in their casemates, causing the damage and wounds stated in'the included reports (Brazil, 7 wounded; Tamandare, 1 ]tilled and 4 wounded; Lima Barros, 2 wounded; Bahia, 2 wounded; Barroso, 3 wounded.) The other iron-clads had no damages worth consideration. In the condition of these ships after the retiring of the army, the position occupied by them above the stockade was very diffi cult to maintain, therefore I ordered the squadron to retire in order to the position occupied previously. • Three 68-pounders bathe battery of Cnrn pelts, were dismantled by the squadron. The gunboat Parnahyba received two balls and some grape, but had no damages of importance.. The fire of the 16th batailion, embarked in the squadron whoa I hgtl %domed to the mat Nn2EOTLE Gran Chaco, caused some loss to the Para guayan artillerists. The squadron had 21 men hors du combat :and some slightly wounded. Among these ! last was Capt. Eliziario Antonio dos Santos, '‘'commanding the Second Division. The ships at the Paraguay side received some grape and musketry and some can non balls thrown by the enemy by eleva tion, but suffered no damage. They had only the wounded mentioned in the report. Commendation is passed on all engaged, on the staff and the Baron do Amazonas, and on the Swedish Second Lieut. Alfred , -Lindback. ?Epitome of Reports of Ironelada Engaged. The Brazil took position to fire with, her starboard battery with grape and some Wien. The enemy pertinaciously kept up a fire—at first from two 68-pounders, after ward with one traversing 68—aimed so well as to frequently throw its shot into the 'portholes, and.disabling- one of her 683 by breaking a trunion and its carriage, and 'also the carriage of the adjoining piece. At 2P. M. received orders to cease fire, but while the men were going into the hold from the casemate, a shot entered a port, break ing the trunion and striking the helm, shattering it, and wounded seven men. "Many other men were slightly hurt by the innumerable small fragments which fell within the casemate, and I may say that not a single person or thing was untouched by them." The part of the starboard side of the case mate comprehended between the sternmost part and the third part is all started, and, ac cording to the opinion of the First Engineer, could not resist similar battering again without giving way. Five of the seven men wounded were hurt by fragments of iron. Nine shots struck round the sternmost port, parting the first plate below, pene trating 2 Inches, and driving in the plates I inch: - Eleven struck round the 2d port, driving the plates inward, starting the corners and the iron lining inside between the Ist and 3d ports, penetrating 31 and inches nd parting one of the plates into three n pieces a . Six round the 3d port, penetrating 1 and i inches, driving a plate I inch inward and starting all the rest. • One struck to the rear of the gangway port on the let plate above the water-line, entering .11 inches, parting it and driving it in hitt. One forward of the gangway' port on the let plate of the water-line. entering 14 inches, Wine the plate and driiing it in inch. One on another Ist plate, penetrating inch and driving the plate in 21 inches. One at the water-llne,penetrating 1 inch and driving in the plate inch. Sixteen others struck in various plate other than the plating, one of which out up the deck over the casemate, traversing ten planks and entering as far as the lining plate, which it started. Seven half shutters were destroyed, and seven more damaged. The Brazil was about four hours close to the battery, forcing the stockade a little after noon. The Barroso forced the stockade immedi ately after the Brazil, and anchored above her, between one and two cables' length of the fort. remaining until 4.20 P. M. Of the shot that struck the casemate, two made depressions of two inches depth in the plate struck, and drove them in and 21 inches; another, at the waterline,entered 14 inches, and drove plate in .13 inches; two above the portholes; one on sternmost star board corner, making an irregular dent. Another struck the hatch over the engine room forward of the casemate, parted the grating, and wounded two firemen severely with splinters; three the chimney, and six the deck. Besides the two firemen, two other men were slightly wounded. Two kinds of shot came on board; one spherical 68; the other resembling the Min eesinger pattern, with steel points and six spiral flanges. This, however, was noticed by the commander to have a motion like a double-headed shot, and to strike some times with the point and sometimes with the rear, as was also recognized in the ap pearance of the indentation made. The Tamandare also forced the stockade but her report is not yet published.. She had the starboard side of the casement se verely battered and started. She had one killed and-four wounded. The Lima Barras and Bahia remained below the stockade. The former had the iron column supporting the captain's case mate broken, and its thick wooden top tra versed, the splinters wounding the captain slightly. Pour shots struck the side, three the towers,"One traversed the engine room grating, and others did damage in other parts. She fired 105 smooth shots and 25 shells. Besides the captain, a seaman was wounded severely in the arm. The Bahia dismounted one and disabled another of the enemy's 68-pounders. She was struck by 19 68-pound shots, eight on the sides, three ou the turret, four on its covering, three in the stack, and one on the capstan. She had three men slightly wounded, one inside the tower by a splinter from a ball which grooved above the right gun. The apparatus fixed to the Tamandare by Mr. Toombs for preventing the explosion of torpedoes there had been no opportunity to try. The Admiral does .not approve of nets in so wide a river as the Paraguay,. which is there 700 yards wide,and besides the danger of breaking and entangling in the screws of the vessels, they required to be fastened to the bank which was in rosses sion of the enemy. He preferred keeping boats, out to drag the torpedoes away. Twenty were thus prevented from explod ing near the vessels. At the Walnut Mr. Booth appears in "The Stranger" and "Don Omar de Bazan." At the Chestnut Mr. Jefferson repeats "Rip- Van Winkle;" afterpiece,"The Two Buz zards." At the Arch M. Bryant repeats "Shamus 0' Brien." At the American "The Black Crook" will be the attraction. It was brought out hest night to an immense house. The scenery is good, the dancing Alf and the play itself very stupid.

The playful Bancroft was thrown into the shade, last Sunday afternoon, by the face tious and reverend John Chanabers,who told the following funny story to his congrega tion : "This morning,as I came out of my church, a gentleman stepped up to me and said, Mr. Chambers I was passing by the League Housethis morning. I asked whose church is that, pointing to yours? The person whom I addressed replied it is Mr. Chambers's church, a copperhead.
