\W have been honored with an advance glimpse, In
part nt-least, of what the ‘•Opening” will contain, and
wr? aver that the ilelrl for Hirh an achievement is in
' <n f, f:ivnl))y prand. We have heard of rare fnrs bein^
. -ipenred on mountain height*; but in this instance
;h<* mountain heights themselves have been transferred
to Mc.->n?. A. K. & F. IC. Womralh's* uparioiu* sales
rooms, in the form of piles of elegant fur?, hage and
Innumerable. What an aggregation of these elegant
and luxurious articles! AH newly made np in the
newest and most .exquisite styles, from the choicest
and must carefully selected furs, purchased by a mem
ber of the ilrra in not one of, bat ail the leading par
markets of the world- The most magnificent seta v of
Imperial Russian Sable-Muffs, Tippols and Collars,
fit for and admired by the crowned Queens of Conti
nental Europe, are here, by happy, manipulation of the
Mesne. Womrath, gracefully presented to the un
crowned queens of America. These, magnificent sets,
which arc Philadelphia to this house alone,
range In price from $250 to $6OO. In juxtaposition
with these, and but little leas beautiful in appearance,
visitors on Tuesday next will find a towering assort
nieht of sets In Iludabh' Bay Sable, ranging in price
from >,V) to $lOO.. In bOth these superb grades of
fc&ble, we may add that this house is but one of three
in America which is constantly, prepared to execute
duplicate orders to any number from its own stock on
hand. In Royal Chinchilla endless tiers
of drawers unfold such a stock as has never before
been seen in this city, while in the beautiful* Mink
.Sable (.a most elegant and very fashionable Fur) the
display will surpass anything hitherto presented in this
country. Sets of the latter range in price from the
extremely low figures often dollars to one hundred
dollar? for muff and collar. The new Simia Muff; an
exquisite novelty, just introduced from Paris, is con
fined exclusively to this house, and will unquestionably
be in j opular demand on account of its newness, pecu
liar gracefulness, and its special adaptation for ladies
In mourning; What a glorious crowding of beauty and
fashion there will tie on Tuesday next to see and fee*
and admire the new “Simla” Muff!
The opcoing will also be replete with a princely dis
play of carriage and sleigh robes, and comfortable foot
ninfl's of every kind and quality, while in gentlemen's
mufflers and gloves the oshibition will Ire so attractive
end complete that the world will know' if it. never
knew lxTore. that the' place of all others in this country
to purchase elegant goods of this class, in rarest ex
i vllence from first hands, and at the most moderate
prices, is at Womruth's, 417 Arch street.
By the way it will offend no one to mention that the
prices of furs,as we discover from this display,are very
much lower than they have been any time within the
last five years. To those who may make selections on
the day of the opening, or any time after it, it will also
be agreeable to know that in purchasing from this
house it t'a t'.ny.oss.'l/lc to In' deceived. All goods are
sold with agttarantee that they tire as represented, and
this guarantee is put in writing if desired,which, from a
house that has had an honorable reputation in our
midst ever since ISIS', nearly fifty years, and which has
always.maintained the highest name for integrity, is a
matter of importance, both to those who pay for and
those' who wear these elegant articles of dress and
comfort. That the “Opening" referred to will be a
gaiaday to the ladies of our city, and to some extent
inaugurate a new era in the Fur business,will hardly be
questioned. '

Paul he mystcriou-Iy disat peered, and from the
subsequent investigations it seems almost certain
that he was taken down the rivc-r a few miles by
Van Soien. aud murdered in cold blood. The
only object of the awful crime was to obtain
the'ppsst-ssion: of the ctl'cets he had brought and
the money w hich he Was known to have. What
first, excited suspicions of foul play was
the receipt of letters by the mother of Harcourt
in England: one from her son' informing her of
his appointment, and inclosing the decoy letter,
and afterward a letter in answer to her anxious
inquiries for him. from Van Soien himself, both
of which were in exactly the same handwriting.
It was also found that, after the disappearance of
Harcourt. Ids friends in St. Louis had received
letters purporting to come from him, and dated
“in the woods." all of which were traced directly
to Van Soien. He w*ns found at the hotel named,
where he whs employed in the capacity of night
watchman. Since his arrest, he lias admitted
that he wrote the decoy letters spoken of, and it
is.now almost certain that he is guilty of this
horrible crime.
IIKI.MBOI.I*.
Forgery in Brooklyn, IV. Y.
[From the New York Herald of to day!
It has been whispered in well-informed circles
of the business community of this city for the
past two or three days, that a popular Bank lo
cated in Fulton street, near the City Hail, has
been victimized by a sharp operation oh the part
of some person, as yet'unknown, to the tune of
$2,500. Inquiry among the officials of the Bank
in question, which.rumor designates as the Cen
tral .Bank, has failed to elicit any
information whatever, these gentlemen
observing remakable reticence oh the
subject whenever broached. The fraud is
not denied, hut they state that it is useless to give
publicity to the circumstances until such time as
the police have accomplished the arrest of the
guilty party, whose description they are at pre
sent invpoaseaaioß of. It appears that one day
last week, in individual called at the Central
Bank and presented a check purporting to be
signed by Richard 11. Hooley,. the manager qf the
mmstrel opera house, for the sum of $2,500,
which the paying teller certified, so genuine to all
appearance was the signature attached. This, of
course, was a forgery. The operator then pro
ceeded to New T ork, where he Bold the check,
realizing, it is presumed, amply* from the opera
tion. “In the course o£ a few days the identical
lorged check came back to the Central
Bank in the regular order of business and the
amount was duly paid. Subsequently Mr.’Hooley
had occasion to Bend a check to the bank for a
considerable sum, which was the first incident to
excite the suspicion of. the officers that a mistake
existed somewhere, inasmuch as the amount of
deposit to the credit of that gentleman was ex
hausted. Further inquiry elicited the true con
dition of affairs, and on'eomparing the genuine
with the bogus cheeks, the fraud was readily de
tected. Information was then given at the police
headquarters, and detectives are now on the trail
of the guilty party, with fair prospects of suc
cess. it is presumed, from their own assertions.
Attempted Abduction ok a Cliild ill
Massachusetts.
[I-Yem the Worcester iMa-3.* haziftte, Sept. 2H.1
A very hold attempt at abduction was perpe
trated in the town of Milltmry on Tuesday last.
For several days previous there had been around
the village a strange mac of light complexion,
dressed “in a suit of bine 'clothes, and in
appearance about thirty-five years of age.
On Friday he called at the" house of R. M. Oakes’
on some pretended errand. The little daughter
of Mr. Oakes came to the door, the rest of
the family being away from home. Since then,
up to the time of the attempted abduction, he
has been frequently seen watching in flic neigh
borhood of Air. Oakes’s residence. No person
appeared to know him, and by his quiet manner
he avoided suspicion. On Tuesdav Mr. Oakes's
little daughter, a bright lively little girl, at
tended school. On her way home, while in aby
street, she was met by this unknown man in a
carriage, who tried to prevail upon her to take a
ride with him. She refused; he instantly'
jumped out of the carriage and seized her,
when she commenced screaming, but he soon
stopped her screams by gagging her, and then
proceeded to place her in' tiie carriage. At this
Eoint a man happening along sprang for the
orse and prevented the rascal from starting. He
took the little girl out from the carriage, who
fainted in his arms. While he was attending to
the sufferer the villain whipped up his horse and
made off. Air. Oakes knows of no reason why
the man should wish to steal his datigliter. ,

of the party which elected them stood fast by their plat

a legal tender, or to make and enforce a draft to till up
the ranks of our armies, or to punish deserters by disfran
chisement, and in a hundred other ways endeavored, by
State action, to nullify national laws; and thus, during

would commend itself, I think, to the whole nation.

I u as much gratified the other day, in a conversation
with the President, to find that his views on. this subject
accord with my own. lie doe« not feel that he can
require this.'as a delegation requested him to do. Still,
be desires it to he done by the action of the people them

ji Louisiana taken the lend, I think nil the other States
will follow, and then we shall have settled this question
on deep and bronrl foundations, against which the gates
of bell can not nrevaiL The number of those who are
at first admitted to the privilege of the elective fran
chise does not to me seem essential, for if you let any
portion of the colored people vote, the rest will follow in

a little timid aa to the public sentiment. I do hope you

[From tiro N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, Sept. 27.]
If “Old Blair” had lived in the days of our first parents,
the presence of the serpent would have becu superfluous.
If, at a later period, he had been ‘‘one of the twelve,”
there would have been no question into whose pocket the
“thirty pieces” dropped- . ....
HD “cub,” Montgomery, is a nuisance. As a politician
he; is “in every body's ness and in nobody’s watch.” He
is a common scold, but so'impotent that nobody cares
’for.his slanders, flc the patience even of
Air. Lincoln, who was finally compelled to ask for his
resignation. ,
If Provident Johnson should be “impeached” it will be
for listening to such miserable malignants, who are re
puted to surround him. We never felt that he was safe
D*terseeing old Blair and his cub lurking about the
White House.

A large Union Republican meeting waxlield in iMtta

Among the hjieaker? were Gov. Geary and lion. Oaluaim
A. Grow. Gen. Gonry.in tbl* course.of hie remarks, epoko
oi the different parties in the* liv'd, and in reference to the
\v'orkingnien’a ticket'that it was the duty of the working
men to stand by their true colors and sustain the Republi
can party, or they would lose their country. , Tho l*Tctl'
dt*nt waa only waiting the deei-ion in Pennsylvania, aud
if by any accident Andrew Johnson should be sustained,
he was only waiting to declare martial law, call men
iroin the rebel army and exclude our Congressmen from
their seats. If it became necessary to sustain that Con*
grins and resist the usurpations of the President, the
speaker would call upon the State to aid him, as siue us
he stood before them. Mr. Grow qnid:
Men who have taken up arms agaiut their country are
ashing to be again intrusted with power und the right*
and liberties of mankind. Before you dare to thus treat
the fruits of victory, call back the glorious armies of the
luion. iuid bring back the rebel ranks to Appomntox
Court-house, and bid them surrender to Lee. 1q trusting
tleveinen with power we should imitate the Indian
who «aid: “If a rogue cheat me once, shame be
on him; - if he cheats me twice, shame
be on me.” The speaker then sw*ke at length
of the course the President had pursued. The rebels had
not come back lik- the prodigal son, as the President
would have us lnliivo. but were simply coming back and
saving: “Why don’t you kill the fatted call The Cop
perhead wanted the South restored to their former posi
tion because he missed the votes of hia Southern brethren.
The Democratic party had everywhere been beaten, and
it wa* now necessary to beat them in the judiciary,
ai'ti-r thev had been conquered on the field and
at the ludlot-box. The importance of the judiciary was
then alluded to by the speaker, and the disastrous effects
that might follow from improper decisions spoken of. The
terms oil which the South should he ndmitteclwerediu
emsod, and it was claimed that the South had rejected
the offers made, ami they, with Johnson, were responsible
for the fact that, they wi re now out of the Union, it «as
claimed that no other terms than those proposed-by
Congress should be offered them. In conclusion Air. Grow
said: “The President dare not offer any other terms
fhau those to the men wle> labored for the overthrow
of your liberties and the' destruction of your country.
Somethings are so valuable that the nations who buy
them pay the price in blood. Our fathers, when thev
raised this magnificent monument of a Republic, crowned
it with laurels, but left chains at the base, and their great
mistake has nearly overthrown the Republic. But the
effort* of-the rebellion were not successful; and by tho
love you bear your fallen heroes, by tho duty you owe to
coming time, see that our couutry in the future is fixed on
the rock of ages, so that the wind- may beat in vain
against it.” ‘

The Yellow Fever In New Orleans.
The following is an extract of a private letter
received in this citv:
Nkw °r.i,EANs, Sept. 21 1857. — Tearing von
might have some apprehension as to the safety of
the orphan children in the asvlums here during
the prevalence of the epidemic here, I visited on
Friday last these institutions.
The Sisters informed me that there had not
been a single ense of fever in their buildings.
Providence had singularly blessed them. The
children were enjoying excellent health, and no
daDger was anticipated from vellow fever.
The epidemic is widespread' but, the disease is
of comparatively a mild type. We have had as
high as 7fi deaths a day from fever. In 1853 we
had over :!0n per day, so that we arc not as badly
frightened as. we might be. The mortality Is
much greater among Europeans, more especially
Germans, than any other class. Northern men
also come in for their share. Another remarkable
feature is liuit übonl three men die to every one wo
man!
The weather is now what it always has been in
yellow fever times; almost everv dnr we have
floods of rain, interspersed with terrific peals of
thnnder. Immediately following the rain the sun
comes out, podring down Its hot rays upon the
■vast swamps of water lying in the rear of the
city. I have no doubt that the sun’s inttuenceon
the water does a great deal towards increasing, if
it is not the immediate cause of the fever so pre
valent here.
