[Chicago Journal, Oct.?.] Another terrible chapter has treen added to the annals of crime in this cite. In thin instance a woman deliberately kills her husband by mixing with his drink a, dose of deadly poison. It will be remembered that mention was made a few days since of the marriage of a woman named Milan to a fellow named Martin Whelan, the alliance having been contracted while the former's husband was undergoing a short term of incareetation in the city Bridewell for commis sion of a breach of the peace. Mrs. Milan's daughter, a young woman sixteen years of age, disgusted at her mother's conduct, swore out a warrant for bigamy against her parent and caused her arrest, but upon the case being called at the Police Court, the daughter falling to appear, the prisoner was discharged from custody. Now comes the horrible sequel. The woman realigned to the shanty where she and her hus band bad been living for many years, and where her husband, who had been liberated from the Bridewell, was residing with his daughter. The bigamist, not satisfied with the crime of which she had already been guilty, and, finding that having two husbands, one or whoth she hated, was a most unhappy state for a woman to live in, determined to rid herself of one of them by fair means or by foul. As there seemed no prospect of the former means coming to hand, the despe rate creature made up her mind to murder the object of her aversion, and thus free herself of him in this world forever. For some days past Milan bad been drinking very hard, and has constantly been in a half-inebriated condition. On Monday evening, it seems, about half-past eight o'clock, the unhappy family of father, mother and daughter were assembled in their abode, Milan engaged in sipping liquor. The daughter saw her mother put a teaspoonful of morphine into her father's glass, and then mix it well by stirring. On asking her mother what she was about, the latter replied to the effect that she wanted to make Milan sleep soundly. The deadly poison did its work faithfully, for Milan, after having unsuspectingly swallowed the death dealing compound, never rallied, and at four Weloek yesterday afternoon breathed his last. The guilty woman did not stay at the side of her murdered husband until he had dosed his eyes forever, but while the death-rattle was •sounding in his throat, prepared a small package of clothing, left the house and fled. —Leopold de Meyer gave his first coheert in New York. The New York Mail say§ of the pianist: "A little, dandyish, excessiTtly genial good-natured and vivacious speciafert - Nhe is. it is absurd to call him old. His thin hair, - it is true. is white with years, but in spirits, in sprightliness, iu the sort of gushing confidence he seems to extend to his audience, he is but a youth. He trips over the stage like a cheerful cricket; he bows like a Turveydrop; ho plays like a lion. He would be a greater prize to a manager than either Gottschalk or Thalberg, - for he is alike free from the dainty effeminacy of the one and the cow-like gravity of the other." *j)• clip, (t Z /I ) C Ittit / 4 I 4• W. G. PERRY, Stationer, TM Arch Ntreet RASH STEPS. [Correrpondenco of the Philadelphia Evottliig Bulletin.] Of two gray-headed and blue•bloused citizens Of Rouen, who were talking together on the quay with all that frenzy, that boyish extravagance of gesture, that hOt hemorrhage of passion about nothing which we always see In the wild grand daddies of the theatre, and never anywhere else—out of France; of this pantomime pair, with their faces of eighty, their actions of twenty, and their costumes of a hundred years old, I stopped to ask my way, not for Information, as I needed none, but as the handiest way of opening conversation. "Can you indicate, ny worthy anachronlsins," I said, " the best path to the brow of Mount St. Catha rine?"-for the day wastoing. and I wanted to watch the reflection fad*, in the river. Stepping out with a world of courtesy, the more Inebriated of the two, insisting on seeing me safe, towed me anxiously along, giving me the benefit of his ideas and of his latest brandy in one breath, and with equal liberality. He was out of work at present, but hoped soon to find employment on the military roads 'projected in the imperial fancy since the 16th of October; he could then gain eighteen. or even twenty sons every sacred day of his life. It was the old road-mender of the Mis&ables. with his aimless vivacity, his poor ClMlling.,his little play of thoughts and in istinets skipping an inch or two around his ham mer on every side and getting no further, his eyes bent, like the Old Cumberland Beggar's. upon the endless length of his road. and filled 1 1 with the pebbles and straws that moved co tinually past out of sight. A character that nev .r . is semi ii America, and never will be till the e surrcetion; a 'being with nu future, no past, no hope, nO letters, no journal, no hearth; no spec tacles, no politics, no change: such a being as you might grow to be, my reader, supposing your forefather or fifth-father had concluded to retain his ten:me3 instead of going off to tr e y and better his fortune among the red Indians. In short, a mole—the worst animal in, all zEsop to take as a guide. I eheeked him presently, as he was airily butrit.g me along in' a quite erroneous direc tion: put an unexpected tourniquet upon his . flow of brandy-and-babble: turned him back with the proxy for more alcohol. in his hand; and climbed the bill alone. I.never find myself looking from one of these gentle eminences, over a sleepy French city, orooding With its two wings equally hung upon opposite sides of a shining stream, but.' think of Turner and the "Rivers of France." Here o St. Catharine's field, as r leaned against a great cross-- shaped fragment of a wall, all that remained of an old fortress that Henry IV. caused to be leveled upon capturing it from the League, I thought of him for may be the twentieth time. The Seine was stealing absently along, not like an Ameri can tide of crystal, but dim. and viscid with its muddy memories; strips and ribbons of Norman culture were rolling down the slopes, in unequal lengths and variegated colors; the slenderest pop lars and ash trees on earth were wandering off in straight lints all around, the _compass, as ruined aqueducts thread the Roman campagna ; and the orange was fading behind the mossy gables and lace-wrought towers of patient Rotten, as it fades over many a fairy ariarellt in that enchanted itinerary of the British Claude. As I leaned like Some moping raven on theruin, with the old moat behind me softened with turf that had fed on Protestant blood, I never thought, as I ought to have done. about Henry and the League. I only'thought of the ,ugly magician who had seen it all lx!.fore me : the surly, snuffy, dumb. uncivil. inexplicable Anglais, who had stood, using his huge umbrella for a desk and the sleeves of his rude overcoat for paint-rags, and stuttering splendor and genius from his dirty hand on many a cliff like this. Patient Rotten grew darker and„darker beneath. I as if its histories were opi.res.sing" it. There the Conqueror had been the conquered.though it was behind we on the rivet., in the flat little town of Mantes, that he.got his death, by the fall which resulted fatally of Rouen. There, in its hermetic crystal box. reposes the Lion Heart—a pinch of melancholy' dust for the heart ‘ace so red and stout. There, in the irregular little Place of the Old Markets, the supcib young virago of Orleans tare her ashes to the upbraiding winds ; and the mild and astute English soldiery of the day looked chivalrously on as the girl crisped and blackened behind the flames, approving the deed in the spirit so frankly reflected in Shakes peare's version of the deed, and so grimly vaunted in the letter of the English monarch to his "very dear and very much loved uncle,"—which epistle charges this bad business of vengeance and superstition to "the great hurts and inconveniences, horrible homi cides and detestable cruelties and other evils without number which she bath done as against our Lordships and the loyal obedient people." In the . Moinastery of the . lirsulines of Rouen exists a witness of the imprisonment of Joan, a solitary tower of the old chfiteau of Bonvreull, wherein she was confined and judged. The con temporary monument to the Maid;.'a graceful, triangular affair; set up in the square a few years after her death, to the immortal daughter of Vaucouleurs, has unfortunately given place to a heavy composition and statue, executed by Paul Slodts in the worst taste of Louis Quinze. Other absorbing mementoes were fading from my sieht,as a misty twilight slowly drew its ob literating sponge across the storied page beneath me. I was too far off to distinguish, close behind the statue of Joan d'Arc,the embossed tower of the splendid Hotel de Bourgtherolde, a mansion whose walls are worked inch by inch like some rich platter of Cellini's. Hero, on one of the 'paneled window-sills, is carved the scone of the Field of the Cloth of Gold—a crowd of splendid knights in weeds of peace, and a proud Grand Master of Ceremonies, so stiff in his puffed and slashed suit that he eau hardly make the gesture of introduction, presenting Francis, who sits en a saddle-cloth, burly with embroidered Illies, to Henry, who is followed by his English bowmen, Mounted on spirited chargers and armed, like Robin Hood's merry-men, all with simple bows as long as themselves; all this brilliant story told by some contemporary sculptor with the perse verance, the elaboration, the waste of art that marks the first years of the French rennaissance. ' Nor could I see, not far behind this splendidly illuminated page of old romances the plain house in which Peter Corneille, in 1606, opened his eyes, almost to the tragic Place where the Pucello was slain: but I could see, on one of the lovely islands boating at my feet, the poet's stately head, carved by David of Angers, with the last undulations of daylight caressing its ribboned hair. A faint chirnb stole to me, melting among the evening rays. From the Tower of the Grand Clock an ancient bell rang the evening note, the peal that rang &Ain France,but vibrated soon to England, crying epuvre-feu to - the Normans and codes' to the Saxons. "Put out :lour lights," rang the great bell, "draw the ashes, over the em- PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER. 11, 1867. here, and straight to bed! It is late, late, late! It is nine." And I fled guiltily down the hill, with thi musical reverberations pursuing me to a fragran and dreamy pillow. POLITICAL. TENNESSE E. Inauguration of Governor Brownlow Addresto. Governor Brownlow was inaugurated at the Tennessee State Capitol, In Nashville, yesterday morning. He appeared in the House of Repre sentatives, and took the oath of office.' Ills in augural address was read by his Private• Secr etary. Of this address a synopsis was published, yesterday, but the following rerbatint extracts are of Interest: "Your predecessors took the Government as an experiment, you can find it an establishment. They adopted measures to set it in motion, your measures will look to a wise and beneficent ad ministration. It was theirs to build the mar chinery, it Is yours to keep It in good running order. Our external relations are mainly and for present inquiry entirely with the Federal Government. and I am happy to inform you that they continue most amicable. and harmonious. From the beginning, we have been sustained---by the military authorities of the nation Mu keeping the peace and executing the laws in the localities where the war, after subsiding, had left elements of disturbance: Your predecessors thought proper to provide a small militia force, to be used in aid of the civil law and as part of it, when the civil law, Unaided, might prove in capable of dealing with its violators. Applica tion was made to Congress for arras and eqttip meats, which were cheerfully granted by that body. And I take pleasure in bearing testimony to the promptitude with which their action:was carried into etre& by the then Sec:ratify of War. Much anxiety was felt in an ticipation of disorders ou the day of election. Major-Gen. George H. Thomas, in command of the Department, co-operated with Gen. Joseph A. Cooper in command of the militia, so effec tually that, with a few marked exceptions. the peace was preserved and the best ot order main tained all over the State. With these exceptions there never has been so quiet an election in the State, or one that evinced more forbearance and self-control on the cart of our citizens; It was our fond hope that upon the restoration of peace, the termination of slavery and the es tablishment of civil government, a tide of immi gration would set Into this State from the North ern States and froin Europe; that men of capital and enterprise, attracted by our mild and healthy climate, fertile soil, magnificent scenery, pure and abundant water, would come among us and aid in the development of our vast resources. Our disappointment is attributable to the in tolerant and prweriptive spirit of a large portion of those lately in rebellion. With them every Union man is an "Abolitionist," and every ".Abolitionist" an enemy to be proscribed, de spised and driven from the country. I attribute the violence of these pestilential disloyalists to the insane policy of the President. who constantly holds out to them the prospect of being restored to power at an early day. The treatment of the few who have brought their families and means among us has been such as to engender a feeling of insecurity of life and property, a sense . of social isolation and a,conseloasness that they are liable at any time to be expelled from the country. Some good citizens, enterpnse and capital, have actually returned to the Northern States in consequence of ill-treat ment. It is to be hoped..however, that these pas sions and prejudices will wear away and com mon Tense resume its sway; that as the power and influence of the President, new so rapidly waning.. shall cease to stimulate their vain and foolish hope for supremacy in the country, they Will see the great advantage of not only treating immigrants with common respect, but of encouraging them to settle among us. It is to be hoped that they will soon learn that their former contracted and sectional ideas can newer again prevail. and they will soon fall into the great radical idea of equal rights to all men in all sections of our great country. Hoping hod be lieving that a better spirit will soon prevailigrow leg out of our recent eleetionsAvithout going into details; I recommend that you extend every en couragement within your constitutional power to immigration. CEMVENSATING LOYAL MEN FOR LOSSE9. After mature deliberation, I have determined to recommend to your favorable consideration the remuneration of loyal citizens of this State for losses sustained by the occupation of the country by the national armies. The passage of the so called ordinance of secession, and the assumed transfer of the State to the so-called Southern Confederacy. placed Tennessee in the attitude of rebellion, and her people in the position of enemies to the National Government. The consequence was that upon the occupancy of the State by the national forces, our people were treated as enemies, with but little discrimination between the loyal and the disloyal. Their lands and houses were occupied, their property im pressed or destroyed, and their provisions con sumed. In East Tennessee this was done from necessity, by an unsupplied army, to an extent that reduced the people to absolute suffering. Thus far the Federal Government, classing Ten nessee with the rebel States, and unwilling to assume the losses incurred in the whole South, has not regarded the applications of our loyal peo ple for remuneration. I understand that similar losses by the citizens of. Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio have been promptly assumed, and yet the nation knows, and the world knows, that a more loyal people than those in Tennessee who remained steadfast to the National cause, through so long and •terrible an ordeal, are not to be found in the Union. But I cannot and will not lose confidence in the justice and magnanimity of the American people. I believe they will yet cheerfully repay the , loyal sufferers among our people, many of whom were deprived of their property by the National forces, while they were themselves absent fighting for the national cause. But you, gentlemen, can afford present relief, relying upon' the • General Government hereafter to assume and pay these just and meri torious claims. I recommend that proper officers be appointed to ascertain and audit -these claims, and that the bonds of the State of denominations from $5O to itloo be issued in payment. lam aware that this proposition will meet with fierce oppOsition from those who would give preference to the millions of debt contracted by the usurped State Govern ment, or by rebel quartermasters. lam also aware that the objection will come from a better class upon the ground of so considerable an in crease of the State debt; but if the American peo ple are just, they will assume the amount long before it falls due, and upon principle, treat the suffering loyalists of Tennessee as they have the loyalists of other States. Let such a law be well guarded in every respect, and if Congress does not at once assume the liability, and promptly meet the same, then we have elected eight able and loyal men to Congress to look after our in terests to very little purpose. INTEMPERANCE., Throughout the length and breadth of Tennes see distilleries and wholesale liquor-dealers are multiplying with frightful rapidity, and the in creasing evils arising therefrom call upon the friends of humanity and of religion to; educate the public mind in opposition to this vice, and if possible, to stay the tide that now bids lair to overwhelm and degrade society. Intemperance is blowing up_ - steamboats, upsetting stage-coaches, and, through the carelessness of drunken `engtneors or switch tenders, it Is bringing trains in collision or run ning them off the track. All this appalling loss of bfe and limb, resulting from the wickedness, carelessness and contempt for human life'of the owners, directors, superintendents, agents and employes on the various - lines of travel, is attributable, in a groat degree, to the vice of In temperance. A general revision of our State laws in reference to , the railroads and steamboats is be lieved to be needed. The least that can be done by the Legislature—and this ought to be satklac- OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.

Wendell Phillips on the October Elec. It seems probable that the elections in Pennsyl vania and Ohio yesterday (Tuesday) were sub stantial triumphs for the negro-hating democracy. We are not surprised at this result, though the loss especially of the amendment in Ohio we greatly deplore, Inputs in still greater jeopardy our own, in this State. whenever it shall be sub mitted for a vote; it endangers a similar amend ment now pending in Kansas, and more than all, it • will affect very unfavor., .ably the . still ' unsettled problem of the p i olitical relations of the negro n the final re construction at the South. With the large regis tration of whites, though ,the actual majority vote cast may call for a.convention, it is likely, in • several States to be 'a minority of all those regis tered, and therefore ineffectual In this way Con gressional reconstruction is to be again check mated. What greater encouragement do negro haling Southerners need than the adverse vote of - Ohio, with such a President in the White House, to do all they possibly can to resist the establish,- ment of government in the Smith which shall place the blacks upon an equality with the whites? We do not doubt the ultimate complete triumph of our cause. But we see in the timid and --shiftless man wuvring of - Republican managers criminal blundering which, if it involved only theitmelves - ill disappointment:we should not par ticularly regret. But in the two political divisions created by the circumstances of the revolution through which we are passing, it is the misfor tune of the situation that their criminal folly inflicts needless and most cruel suffering, even unto death, or living tortures worse than death, upon thousands of victims, white and black, throughout the South. and greatly em barrasses the progress of our cause in the North. The Republicans of 3iassachusctts, in their late Worcester Convention, over which Mr. Wilson presided, paved the way for the Ohio defeat by their non-committal attitude in regard to negro suffrage-es a vitally important question. Such a course was but a part of the Wilson-Pessencleu Republican policy. The Republicans of this State resolved definitely and unqualifiedly in favor of negro suffrage, but the action'of the re presentatives of the party at the Albany Conven lion, in postponing the subject beyond the November election, neutralizes the moral effect of the Syracuse resolution. The Republicans of Pennsylvania meanly dodged the issue, the sig nificance of which, as connected with national politics, they fully understood. Their action invited the defeat which they richly deserve. The Republicans of Ohlo,in a greater degree than its spurious democracy, arc responsible for the ignominious defeat of the national Issue in the their canvass just closed. In a most disreputable manner they refused first to submit the question at all, and then, in view of what Congress, under military rule, dictated for the South, they felt constrained to'Teconsider their previous action, and to change front in the face of the enemy. With this manifest timidity and. insincerity they were in no condition to win victory. In all this an absolute necessity is made appa rent for continued hard work on the part of all Abolitionists and sincere Radicals everywhere.. It is demonstrated that our cause cannot be safely intrusted to political adventurers, however loud their professions of fidelity to the doctrine of negro equality. Radical, persistent agitation. must be continued. Under the operations of the war power we have made rapid strides. That power is not,e and ought not to be, per al in a free government. If. as the heat attic sub sides, it is found that the ave age opinion of heat the country is below the point to which, in the direction of freedom for the negro, the war carried us, we must inevitably sink to the level of that opinion. Churches and the clergy are, as formerly, for the most part, but make wdihts, or a positive drag, where they should be foremost in leadingthe nation in the light of immutable, fundamental Christian principles , through its present dillicult and dangerous pass. The' great battle for permanent .. freedom and equal political rights for tlite negro is to be fought in the year before us. The elections of yesterday and those of next month will be as a preliminary engagement. " What might have been," are among the saddest words. Had Congress met Its responsibilities n'romptly and in a straightforward manner by long ago removing Johnson and guaranteeing negro suffrage without equivocation in its legis lation upon reconstruction, the present untoward defeat and others foreshadowed might have been avoided. Will it be admonished at the "eleventh hour?" It is one of the most threatening dan gers of the Republican defeat of yesterday that, in the Presidential campaign which will open next summer, the standard bearer of that party will be such, from supposed availability, as would render victory in itself a disaster. Better defeat with a standard which deserves success than victory only in the name, Massachusetts apfitted. Adams, of Massachusetts, aTcepts the Demo cratic nomination for Governor. In his letter of acceptaucs he says: Upon the questions of finance and taxation it is difficult to reconcile the incompetence which pervades our system of imposts with a pre sumption of honest intent in the legislators who framed it. No man who assumes a capacity to make laws at this day should dare to plead in excuse of his blunders an abject :gno ranee of the first principles of poßtical economy and an utter. indifference to the re corded results of experience. But the intolera ble burden of an exploded and unscientific plan of internal taxation,.comhined with a tar.iff.which is nothing but legalized‘robbery, must have been saddled upon the people by gross ignorance or fraud, and if not speedily_ removed it will'far. nish the exhausted taxpayer with a semblance, of reas on for repudiation. • Ron. e, • orge Stearns, of Chleopie, accepts the no 1. ation for Lieutenant-Governor. tory to the friends of morality and religion—is to authorize the prohibition of the traffic through the ballot-box once in two years, either by counties or civil districts. This would enable, those who desire to rid themselves of the numerous and alarming evils of intemperance to do so legiti mately, while it would enable those counties or civil districts who are "joined to their idols" to cling to, them, and suffer the consequences. THE CASE 01 , IMAM G. HARRIS. I advise the immediate repeal of the offer of a reward of $5,000 for the arrest and return of Ex- Gov. Danis, My opinions withiregard to active, original secessionists, and the punishment due to them, have undergone no change. But no man has been punished for treason yet, from Jefferson Davis down; and the piks-rebelpolley of the Presi dent warrants the conclusion that none will he punished. Besides, in Tennessee during the late canvass, there were worse men upon the stump than Harris ever was,openly proclaiming treason and sedition, and inspiring the people with sectional malice. I advise the repeal of this oiler from two other considerations —first, that of humanity towards the family of Harris; and next, but not least, that of economy ou the part of the :Rate.

MoyritEntr.,October 7.—The demand for money is increasing - here; and the rate of interest is advancing. Nine to twelve per cent is asked for money; according to (panty .of paper. Bills • of exchange are alsoln.demaud, eight and three quarters to nine premium being asked for bank. Many persons have to take exchange from the banks to induce discounts. This is now a com, mon trick in banking. Parties not wanting ex change have then to sell the bills to realize their amounts and meet their payments. At the religious temperance meeting Sunday before last, one of the speakers said that, having business with Mr. McGee, he took occasion to congratulate him on the noble stand he had taken, and to assure him of the jey'liChad given to all good Nen, and of their earnest desire that he would prove faithful. Mr. McGde said that he had made up his mind before the late election to necome a teetotaler, but he had delayed till after that had taken place, fearing that his motives might be construed into a desire to make political capital. On the Sunday after the - election he said to his wife, "Tell the grocer to-morrow to come and take every drop of nine and liquor out of the cellar. I have made up my mind to have nothing to do with it." Thus spoke D'lrey McGee. The speaker at the meeting who narrated this said he hoped McGee would yet become the Father Mathew of Canada, and carry a banner, I presume, on which would be lettered : r."We drink only; cold water." „. This is 3leGee's last metamorphosis, at. least I have not heard of any other, though another might take place within ten minutes: A review of the garrison of Montreal is ordered for to-day, on Logan's farm. This is a piece of ground now belonging to the Imperial G'overn went, on the outskirts of the city. It is a pretty mixture of plain, wood and ravine, and is suitable for a review, drill or camp ground, to which three uses it is put. Among the regiments now in garriion is the Pill, which, with the 47th, formed the column on the Niagara frontier during- the late Fenian raid. The 16tli is known by its yellow facings, collar, cuffs. &c., and tunics of brick dust color. The men are nearly all Irish, and a good fighting body, although not so presentable for parades. Very cool weather here now, and everybody buying firewood. W. G. El:ow:mow THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS Lo\vaLL, Mass., Sept. 27, 1867.—.11y .D.fur —I ani much gratified to find that my views meet the approbation of Mr. -- and yourself: They are the matured opinion of close observation of the wants of the country. That they should ac cord with the principles of my former Democratic • associates is not "remarkable," as they are Dem ocratic as was Democracy before it became Con servatism under the manipulations of Fillmore, Geo. T. Curtis, Winthrop, Josiah Randall, and Persons of their opinions, who never drew a Democratic breath. The Democracy must look to the Radical Republican party for the resusci tation of its true principles as applied to men as men. With us all true Democrats will ultimately be found who believe in equality of rigkt, equality of power, equality of taxation. under the Government to every man who, by the Constitution, has the high positipn of an American citizen. My hopes, or expecta tions of political preferment have nothing to do with iii political views. I lutist go forward sneaking the truth iifpolitics as in_other-mattersl And the more unpopular, if I find them just anA true,the more surely will I declare them. This is not the kind of stud Presidents have been made of, and it is more than doubtful whether they ever will be made of sterner stutf. Have I not an- . swami your question - whether I should, make a good candidate for the Presidency?" I will not say with Clay -that I had rather be right 'than he President," be cause he was wrong, and not President besides; but I will say thati. would not sacrifice my in dependence of thougllit and action to be Presf dent ten times over, and that is not saying much, seeing what sort of men we have bad, and may possibly have, to fill that now degraded place. "I shall be at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Tuesday next, and will he glad to see you and your friend. but not for the purpose indicated. Yours, re spectfully, BENJ. F. BUTLER. -X. Y. Tribune.

Captain Stanley urged the payment of the claims held by the United States, and the king not being in funds has mortgaged three Islands— Maturi, knd Naitiri—to sectirn the pay ment.

Herold.] The application for pardon of James A. Sed don, formerly Secretary of War of the rebel Con federacy, was under consideration at the meeting of the Cabinet on Tuesday last. Mr. Seddon s peti)lon is well supported by influential endorse ludas, but by the advice of the members of the Cabinet the President has decided to postpone action for the present. An application for pardon from ex-Commodore Barron, of the rebel navy, is now in the bands ot the President, awaiting his consideration, and it is thought that the ap plication of Barron, as well as that of Alexander Hwill be .

When two locomotives, having equal speed on a railroad track, meet from opposite directions, the shock actually destroys the momentum of both, and there fore makes a dead halt. The force of the shock produced by the two bodies, say the philosophers, will be equal to the shock which either, being at rest, would sustain if struck by the other moving with double the velocity. Action and reaction being equal, both bodies will be as much moved by reaction as by action. Should two railroad trains, running toward each other at the rate of twenty miles an hour, collide, the shock would be precisely the same as though one had been at rest and been struck by a train moving • forty miles an hour. Were two steamboats to run directly together, head on—one going, twelve and the other fifteen miles an hoUP— tbe concussion or shock each would suffer would be as though struck by the other at a speed of twenty-seven miles an hour.
