THE PERIODICALS.
The November number of the Atlantic Monthly
is full of good things. "The Guardian Angel,"
by Dr. Holmes, advances to a new period, and be
comes more Interesting. A Phi Beta
_Kappa
poem, also by him, is clever and ingenious. The
second parts of "The Rose Rollins" and the
"Autobiography of a Quack" (said to be by a
Philadelphia physician) are good. "Busy Brains"
is a pleasant paper on the habits of authors; and
there are good things in the "Opinions of Dr.
Noit. - Prof.-Lowell, in "A Great Public Charac
ter.- givs an excellent essay on the late Josiah
Quincy. - The Conspiracy at Washington" gives
a . severe but just account of President Johnson's
wicked and silly proceedings. Mr. Robert P.
Nevin contributes a very agreeate article on the
lute "Stephen C. Foster and Negro Minstrelsy)
There is, a.touching poem, called "Are the Chil
dren at flout - Cc'`' Several shorter articles and the
literary notices keep up well the character of the
.4 lion ic.
THE GALAXY for November carries on the two
excellent novels. "Steven Lawrence" and "Walt
img for the Verdict." In the i articles " Grotesque
Son, , s," " Journalism as a Profession," " Con
cerning Kissing. - and In Mr, Richard Grant
White's new instalment on "Words and their
LEM" there is useful as well as entertaining
reading. "ChrOmatic Aberration" is a very
amusing illustration of the malady of Color-
Blindness. "Our Doctors in the Rebellion," by
Fred. B. Perkins, gives some very curious facts
derived from documen't's issued from the Surgeon
General's office. The poetry and other short
articles are good.
EVERY SATURDAY, for October 2G, is specially
attractive for its charming story of, "Little Red
Riding Hood," by Miss Thackeray. The story
is aim complete, and is marked by all those
felicities of thought and style which have made
Miss Thackeray so .popular with all intelligent
readers. She is manifestly worthy to inherit her
father's name, This number of Every Saturday
has, besides, interesting sketches of "Charles Bau
delaire" and "Dr. Velpean," recently deceased; a
readable account of "The First Use of Gas in
London," and other good things.
The November number of Our Young Folks, is
well filled with excellent articles, and has a pretty
colored illustration. The promise for 1868, is,
however, most interesting, for it is announced
that Dickens is engaged to write for it "A-Holi
day Romance," to be illustrated by John Gilbert.
Miss Mulock has also been engaged as a contri
butor, besides many other popular writers of
this country and England.
The Riverside Institute.
This institution, which was incorporated by
the State of Now Jersey April • Bth, 1867, for the
education of the orphans of soldiers and sailors
who died-in the service of the United States, will
be ready to commence operations in a month or
two. It Is located at Riverside, formerly known
as Progress, iri Now Jersey, on the banks of the
Delaware. The building is now rapidly approach
ing completion. It is a large and substantial
brick structure; surmounted by a stone cupola.
The building is 120 feet in length by 44 feet in
width, and is four stories in height. The ground
floor is intended for dining room, kitchen,
store room, laundries, &c. The next floor is
divided into three apartments, intended for a
reception-room, school-room and a recitation
room. The upper floors are to be used for sleep
ing apartments for the boys. There will be
eighty rooms, with four beds in a room. Large
/ porticoes are to surround the house. The build
ing is yet in an unfinished state, but when com
pleted it will be a very handsome and imposing
odifice. The grounds around the Institute com
prise six acres. 011 ono side of the building is a
fine grove where the boys can amuse themselves
andarious out-door sports, and on the other side
at the rear there is sufficient space to raise
vegetables and give the juveniles an insight into
, farg.
The property originally belonged to. Samuel
PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1867.
Bechtold. Jr.,Esq., who founded and laid out the
town of Progress. - Ile disposed of it to 'the
Trustees of the Riverside Institute upon very
reasonable terms. The purchase money haft been
paid and the deed passed into the possession of
the Trustees a short time ago.
It is contemplated to receive 100 boys at the
commencement and raise an endowment of
$lOO,OOO for their maintenance. From year to
year the number will bein 'refused until 500—the
full capacity of the building—is reached.
The trustees of the Riverside Institute are
Hon. Wm. B. Mann, Lewis. R. Broomall, Esq.,
Hon. James M. Scovel, Hon. W.W. Ware,of New
Jersey, Henry Gorman, Esq., and J..E. Coe, Esq.
The funds which have enabled the trustees to
purchase the property, and, which arc to consti
tute the endowment fund, have been raised
through the exertions of the Washington Library
Company, which Is chartered by the State of Penn
sylvania. The subscriptions range from $1 to $5,
and about one-half of the amount proposed to be
raised has already been secured. Each subscri
ber receives a fine steel engraving.
Messrs. Gco. A. Cooke 6; Co.; bankers. of this
city, are the'receivers for the Washington Library
Company, and take charge of all the funds on
behalf of the Institute. Such a noble cause de
serves success, and all the members of the firm
have taken a personal interest la the matter, and
are working energetically to secure the Institution
on a sure foundation.
SOUTH AMERICA.
AFFAIRS IN THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC
The War Against Paraguay.
(o)rreppondence of the Philudulplita Evening Bulletin.)
MON TEVIDEo, August 29th.—The Provincial
Government is forming a plan of colonization of
public waste lands west of Buenos Ayres. A
treaty in regard to naturalization is about to be
formed by the Government of 'Uruguay with
Spain, by virtue of which those Spanish subjects
who have resided for ten years in the Ittpublic,
without returning to their home, are entitled to
citizenship, and Spain will have no more claim
on them. •
A public dinner has lately taken place in honor
of Mexico, and speeches were delivered for the
cause of republicanism; pictures of Washington,
Lincoln, Slazzini, Juarez and Garibaldi occu
pied prominent places among the decorations of
the premises where the festival was held.
The construction of a railroad has been autho
rized by the Emperor of Brazil, and the plan will
at once be carried out. The road will have its
terminus in the city of Rio Grande de Sul, and Is
expected to reach the coal regions of Candiota, in
the province of San Pedro. The steamship North
American, from New York, has Landed one hun
dred and forty-eight emigrants in Montevideo,
and five hundred more arc expected from Mobile.
The American steamship Brooklyn arrived in
Bahia on the Gth instant, on her way to the
United States. The new monitor Rio Grande
was launched at Rio Janeiro on the 17th instant.
The Spanish iron-clad frigate Numanita left Rio
Janeiro on the 13th for Europe, to be repaired.
MoNrEvuor:o, August 29.—The most important
topics of interest are the revolts which take place
in the interior of the Argentine Republic, the
question about capital punishment debated in the
legislative body, and the siege of Ilumaita. The
province of Cordova has risen in insurrection
against the Government; several public officials,
and even the Minister of War, whohadjleen sent
by the Central . Government, wefe imprisoned,
and several battalions of theNatiOnal Guard have
rentrv. to restore order.
Several other.provinees are expected, to rum, nu
less she war Is epCedily terminated, and General
Arqniza, the enemy of the alliance with Brazil, is
said to incite the people to revolt. The allied
forces are besieging and bombarding the Fortress
of llumaita, where Lopez, the •
.of Para
guay, keeps himself at present, afte i been
routed out of all his strong positions, dit is
expected' that he must soon capitulate. Thus
the war is actually drawing to a close.
'Post seriptam from the seat of war. An engage
ment has taken place between a train of the al
lied troops and a detachment of the enemy. The
Paraguayans had 150 men killed and agreat
many wounded; an officer and about 20 soldiers
have been taken prisoners. The passage of Cara
pails' has been forced: the squadron has' effected
the passage without being injured by the numer
ous torpedoes, which the skill of the pilots has
avoided. At ,eleven o'clock in the morn
ing the squadron arrived at the fort of Hutnaita.
and commenced to open fire at 2 P. 31., the
strongest battery of the fort answering the fire.
The squadron of Humaita keeps the communica
tion open with Curupuity by means of an impro
vised road. At the time of the departure of the
mail-buat news reaches us to the effect that the
bombaidment of liumaita continues, and that
the steamboat Tamandare, which had her ma
chinery damaged, is repaired, and ready again for
action. . •
The shipping news of the port of Monte
video is of a cheerful character, and trade is on
the . increase. Out •of the fin vessels which ar
rived during the first quarter of lydi. 435 have
unloaded their cargoes at that place. The num
ber of vessels arrived in the perts of the Argen
tine Republic, Paraguay and—the Oriental Re
public. is 1418, carrying :10,675 tors. The
number of passengers arrived from Europe
during the same period amounts to 12.667. •
Business in general has been rather animated.
Hides, for export to the United States and
France, have been much in demand. Wool is
cnly salable in fair quantities and at reduced
prices.
CRIME.
• The Alleged Defalcation inTroy.
Ticoy, Oct. IS, the matter of alleged deficiency
in the ex-Comptrollers accounts in the Chaniberlaiuc,y of
this city, it uppeara that two additional experts hare been
employed by the Mayor of the city to assist 'the two
already appointed, in the investigation of the balance
sheets of the office. At this writing these four fiscal pro
ticients art engaged upon an elaborate review of
the books front the time tee ex-Uhamberlain took
office, some tour years ago, to that when he vacated it
a few days since. It is understood that Mr. Brewer
claims his right to retain the interest accraiu s l'on the de
posits of the Bauoyer Bank, of New York city, on the
ground of precedent in all shadier office's, and cites as in
stances in hand that of the Comptroller of New York city
and the various_County Treasurers, Surrogates and other
fiduciary officers inclusive throughout the state. In addi
tion to tide, the examination so far given the subject by
counsel to the city would seem to legally bear out DAS
proposition. At all events,it is asserted that there is color

estly protests that he committed no offence in this

zens here are disposed to concur in his judgment upon
general principles , .
.Mr. Detrick Lane, appointed to be Mr. Brewer's sue
cessor in the office, has not yet been sworn in by reason
of a slight informality in the matter of his bondsmen,con
sisting of two sureties, who, though wealthy and entirely
responsible, are partners in business, and this fact is held
to invalidate the bonds tinder the law. Further than this,
I hear of grave political complaints against the proposed

out of his alleged intense and rank copperheadiem during

A Murderer Sentenced to be Hanged fat
• St. Louis.
[From the St. Louts Democrat, Oct. 10.)
Yesterday morning, a little before tq o'clock. Peter
Chrisman, the murderer of Edward RIM and his son in
Columbia Bottom, last May, was arraigned at the bar of
the Criminal Court for sentence, which woe that ho be
hanged on Fi May, the 6th day of December next. In his
remarks to the condemned, Judge - Primm reminded him
that throughout the trial he had seemed indifferent to his
fate, and entreated him to consider that his days were
numbered. The circumstances of the murder the Judge
stated as follows:
"The prisoner is 20 years of age, of athletic frame, and
has all the appearance of having constantly enjoyed
robust health. There is nothing about him to denote
in
sanit7 in any form. In the month of May of the present
year he killed Edward Ross and his infant boy while they
were asleep, the child reposing on his father's arm. The
instrument of death was an axe, with which lie brained
them both. After the homicide, the prisoner ransacked
Ross's premixes, took his trunk, clothing,Wagon and horses
and made his escape. Rothe two days a ter he was arrested
as tile perpetrator of- the deed. and being charged with
its commission, clearly and explicitly avowed it. When
he was arraigned before the Wirt - upon a charge of nun ,
der, preferred against him by the Grand Jury, and asked
to say whether he was guilty Or not guilty of th 6 charge,
ha as clearly and explicitly said that he was guilty. ,'I his
Court refused to receive the plea, on the group 4 that
possibly he was not aware of its consequences, 'and
directed a plea of not guilty -td be entered. The.
becrid nature of the homicide and the apparent
want of motive for its,;;commission at once in.
dicated insanity as the Only defence, This Plea
was accordingly met up, and although backed up by an fn.
netts , and urged with an ability aoldOm intrpaotOdi Ida

although the law governing the cue was clearly and fa
vorably presented to the jury by the Court in its 'mann
.lollP, yet the prisoner, by the verdict, was declared to
have been fully COLlSCiellfl of his designs and ends at the
coon Ming of the act, and to be guilty of murder in' Om
that degree, the penalty of which crime is death:* .
During the delivery of the sentence the boy-nuirderer
manifested not a pat tide of feeling s but was as holid as
a block of wood. His eyesfi
were xed upon the• Judge.
but there was no expressinp in them, and his countenance
IHNOrchanged in the sligMcst degree. When taken back
to the jail he answered an hungry of the Jailor by calmly
saying ho supposed he would have to die at some time.
is indifference could not have been assumed, for he ap-
peared totally unconscious of his fearful position. •
Killing of a Desperado In Tennessee.
[From the Muihville Union and Dlinatch, Oct, Itl]
A private letter informs us that n noted deSperado, by
the name of Bill Sizemore, wins killed in Rogersville, on
the 11th inst., where he has beenliving Since the war,
His career or crime has been an extraordinary one. At
the breaking out of the rebellion ho Joined the Confederate
army, but soon threw off all diseipline.,_and became a sot
of independent scout, harrassing the Union people terri•
bly, and he is reported to have killed seventeen Union.
men during the forays made into .the northern portion of
upper East Tennessee. Seeing that the Federals were
gaming posiwesion of East Tennessee, and that they would
soon control the whole of that section, he deserted and
joined the 'Federal army. Here again he managed to give
his bad paksions full sway in the capacity of a hush.
whacker. Isis persecution of Southern sympathizers was
more relentless and inhuman than of the Union men,
and he is said to have murdered twenty of them In cold
blood. During the last two months he shot down two
nen in the streets of Itogersvine. The last one of these
was a Federal soldier b 3• the name of Webster, whose
only offence was that he had declared himself a Uonserva
th e. Ile wan arre..ted for the last murder and bound
over to the Circuit Court for trial, sr mune Radicals
bailing him to keep hint out of Jail On the
11th instant, a Union soldier shot him
dead within ten steps of where he had
killed peer Webster only few weeks ago. No attempt
war made to arrest Willis, for every one felt that he had
performed a praiseworthy act In ridding the country of
the desperado. Sizemore's body lay in the street nearly
an hour before any one would go to the assistance of hid
wife to take it to his lute home.alibi nem Sizemore was
a terror to the people of Ilawkidif county, and It will be
difilcult to gut a jury in that county who will convict his
slayer of murder.
Arrest of Counterfeiters in Nortkern
New York.
Thor Oct. 18.—I have been officially advised of the
haul of a band of counterfeiters in the northern part of
the State, somewhere in the vicinity of Plattsburg. My
informant saw the official telegram announcing the arrest,
but was instructed to he rwicent on the subject, though
himself aU. P. °dicer. It appears that the government's
detectives have bug beau on the track of the band,
and in addition to taking them into custody have also cc.
cured a large =omit of dies, presses and other illegal
paraphernalia of the business. A telegram from Plat,s.
burg, in response to one sent by me from thil city, indi
cates that the Wrens have not permitted the facts of this
evidently important arrest to transpire in or about that
point; bet owing to the high source of my information,
while for the reason above. given I cannot transmit the
details, there Is every reason to believe that a huge band
of counterfeiting marauders has been eucceSsfully
broken up.
As to the several cases of the counterfeiters Webb,
Morrison and Fitzpatrick, who, it will be remembered,
were arrested in the latter part of May and early in Jude
last, and us hich were postponed at the Canandaigu a. term
of the United States Circuit Court in June to the term of
the Court held at Albany the second Tuesday of this
month, they have been brought before the Court, .Judge N.

gratulatiout upon the fact that your cmeree has been 00

ehahl not trouble you hereafter, with any pereonal • appli
c t .
one. and 1 feel, therefore, that 1 can peak frankly
without ear of my 1 molly, being inimundeNtqral.
The coustitutional etatoinum , hip teitli which you have
administered the Government, has-won my admiration.
1 have watched the development of your policy with
anxiety, and I have not been disappointed by any of your
acts. If know myself, I have no wish other than my
country's good, and by tits standard I have measured
von. When I saw that it was your design to admit the
southern States to full fellowship in the Union at as early
a day as possible. and this to redone peace and harmony
to the country, I flared and felt that von would not have
• the support of those who controlled the organization
which elected you. Actuated by this feeling, as Chair
man of the Committer on Resolutions in the Democratic
State Convention in this State last Fall, I made a plat
forigaupon which the Couaervativs Ca hn men of ,ithe
Staff , would have rallied to your support had the Republt
enn State Convention—held goon alter—avowed the hoe
tility which its leaders have elect, developed against your
policy. But these leaders gave you the Judas kiss. They
were then ardently in support of your administration,
and loud in their denunciation of the "Copperhead" De
mocracy, and they deceived the masses. .3ly attempt to
organize a suceeestul party in your behalf failed. Events
have since proved that something nmet be done to rescue
the country front the liana of the Radicals in Conga-eat,
and 1 know of no way but by the organization of a party
in support of your administration. which will assuredly
become the party of the people. Some time ago I wrote
you. suggesting delay in the appointment of a Collector
of this port, and I think the necessity for ouch delay still
continues. You know the political power -for affecting
delegates to the next National Convention attached to the
edict', and the importance of keeping it out of the hands
of those who are either openly. or secretly antagonizing
you, or at least are but lukewarm friends. The titan'
who holds that office should be bound to you by "hooks
of steel." 1 world not take the liberty of naming any
one, but as I write the thought occurs to me that it would
he but political justice that 3lajontleneral Henry W.
Woeful' should yet oceupti the position. Among the first
to strike with au armed hand at Rebellion, he rettumed
here only at the close of the Ivan lie forgot .politics as
you did when treason allowed its head, and no taintof the
Copperhead attaches to him. Foreseeing the attempt •
that would be made to 'overthrew your labors for the
Union, he joined hands with Cuion-loviug Democrats of
the State who were trying to raise the old flag in your
and- lwettine their -Standard-bearer. It was
thfough eat fault of ' ltis that we tailed. The bad man
agement of John Van Buren. end other rotten thither of
which the organization could hot rid iteelf , had some
thing to do with your defeat. But' the deceit of the Ra e
publican leaders, In , claiming to be the particular and
trusted-supporters of your policy had more to do with it.
The people now see how their confidence
was abused. ' and au election to-morrow
would. I believe, give Slocinn tut overwhelming
majority in the State. His appointment as Collector
would be a proper rebuke of the treachery of the Republi
cab leaders. It is time that the handwriting should appear
on the wall to these Radicals. Even now they are steal.
ing your strength in the different State elections. Fight
ing you in Congress, they dare not carry 'the question he
fore the people, but rely en your neutrality, and still make
their tight against the Copperhead Democracy. Each vic
tory is a victory for Congress and a defeat for you. They
make the canvass and they claim the glory. I hope the
time will soon come when, like Jackson. you will have a
party t h a t ll as a policy. f or he you will show the

The President's View of the Elections.
[Prom the Char latex Courler.L
WAlonrierrOS ' t. 12, 1867. —' to President
and him Cabinet, ineludin ,n. Grant, fairly understand
and appreciate the meant g rif the late elections. They
view the result as the want of the great conservative in
tercets of the country which demand peace, stability and
justice under a Constitutional Union. The elections were
gained by Conservative men, end not by the Democrats,
as a distinct party. These elections are only a prelude to
a general uprising of Conservative young men throughout
' the North end West, the results of which we shall see in
the November elections, and more decidedly still in the
election for Congress and for the Presidency in November
n f next year.
The fact the country la in the hands of a generation
of young nice who have sprung up within the last six or
seven years, and the first thing they will do is to brush
off the old and effete and prejudiced leaders of the Radi
cal party ea erywhere. The old Democratic chiefs of the
Buchanan school will fare no better with them. They
are not going , bark to. past times or to old dogmas,
but will fake things as they find thom in this
their own .generation. The President has ex.
pressed views of the situation in a manner showing that
lie comprehends it. it is nut his triumph. though he has
contributed to it. He says, however, that it puts an end
to the impeachment projCet, and wilt give him au oppor
tunity, peacefully and with lees obstruction than was ex
pected, to sustain the Executive Department with its con
stitutional rights, in opposition to the factious and des
potic action of Congress.
The Conservative Republicans, and especially the old
Clay and Webster Value, are gratified by the result, and
will evidently support the onward movement. Many held
hack from hue pons at the late elections because they
would not act with their old opponents. the Democrats.
They will have no scruple hereafter on that move. •
The President will not, in readjusting hi. Cabinet, cam-.
pose it of Democratic ynrtisms. He trill take Conserva
