LETTEO FILOPI PARKA.
Corrempondence of the Philadelphia Even* Bollot
Eters, November 12, 1867.—As I intimated
last week would be the case, the step taken by
the King of Italy in withdrawing his army has
proved to be the right one. The Grr.:ctie of
Florence took care to inform the world that that
step was taken "spontaneously," and also to
add that "no pretext now remained for the
French to persevere in their second intervention
at Rome." The blonifern•..rof this morning fully
admits the correctness of the above representa
tions, and announces that the Imperial Govern
ment has proceeded to act upon them. First
however, a high encomium is passed upon the
action of the Italian government: The Em
peror "has learned,with the liveliest satisfaction,
the spontaneous withdrawal of the troops.'" A
special despatch bas informed the Italian govern
ment "how highly the conciliatory spirleand
firmness of view which have dictated the above
determination are appreciated by France." The
efforts made to "preserve order, security and re
spect of treaties": have "inspired the French
government with the greatest confidence," and
convinced it that "the good understanding
between the two countries will be continually,
strengthened and developed." After this laudation/
which I almost fear may injure Victor Emmanue
in the eyes of his own people by its very warmth'-
we are further told that the "the Emperor has de
tided that the expeditionary corps shall evacuate
Rome and the other cities of the Pontifical States,
as soon as order is assured." The troops, it is
added, "shall be gradually conlentrated at Civita
Vecchia? Though one would rather have been
told that a portion at least of the French force
was again on its road home, still the above is a
distinct renewal of the pledge given
before to' retire, and, on the whole,
a on ill den tly satisfactory reply to
the invitation given to France by the Italian gov
ernment to follow its example. Napoleon 111.
never can be quite frank and straightforward
(except in appearance), and always leaves him_
self .a loophole to escape by,as be does now when
he promises - to retire as soon as order is
"assured." Now that is a very dubious word as
applied•to Pontifical territory, and, in the opin
ion of some people, would justify the French
in staying till the Greek Kalends, if they are to
wait until such a state of things is reit ized.
Eat, not to put too fine a point upon it, we are
willing to believe that the Emperor is sincere,
and intends really, to withdraw very shortly.
And so, "officially" tat least the "good under
standing" spoken of may be said to be effectually
re-established between the two governments.
But bow about the same understanding in a
national and popular point of view? The Em
'serer of Austria said very sensibly the other day
in Paris that friendly intercourse bettieen sove
reigns and governments was of great importance
when. it Wile an evidence of a giiod understand
ing betwqrt the people. But dO the Italian peo
ple feel as friendly disposed , towards-Om Imperial
Government as the latter now professes itself to
be towards that of Italy? I doubt much if such
be the ease, and there is too good reason to sup
pose the. contrary. Within the last day or two,
the fact has come out that the French expedi
tionary forces took an active part in the late en
gagement, and that the murderous defeat In
flicted on the Italian patriots was due mainly.
if not entirely, to their presence. The Moneteur
hung back as long as possible from this avowal,
which it only published the day before yesterday.
There is something almost brutally savage in the
way in which General de Failly announces, with
a note of admiration after the words: "Our
C'hasseptit rifles did wonders !" Did wonders,
indeed, against half-aimed, half-starved bands,
and stretched "eight hundred dead upon the field,
and wounded In proportion !^
These words will sink deep into the minds of
the Italian people, if I mistake not: for the men
thus butchered under such fearful odds were
their countrymen, and sacrificing thir lives to
the cause of Italy, however uselessly and despe
rately. It appears, too, that for four hours, even
under these appalling disadvantages, they made
good their position at Mentana against the
Pontifical forces, and but for the French and
their Chassep6t guns, might have continued to
do so successfully. This fact of the co-operation
of the French troops has produced here a pro
found impression and thoroughly exasperated
the democratic party. It is distasteful, too, to the
vast majority of the nation, and will create, I am
convinced, fresh ground for coolness between
them and the Imperial Government. In short, this
fatal intervention is another of the Imperial
mistakes. It has made the Whole Italian nation
sullen and implacable enemies, who will bide
their time. It has exasperated the entire demo
cratic party in France, and offended the general
spirit of the French people. It has pleased, but
without in any degree conciliating, the clericals
and legitimists, who gloat over the details of the
late butchery with the true rancor of religious
hatred and bigotry. All this is very bad, and re
minds us ominously that Quem Deus milt perdere,
&c. Everything;is fearfully dull here, with much
dlisatisfaction abroad and much distress. The
Chambers open in a week, and were the feelings
of the country really represented there,we should
have the prospect of a very stormy session.
With the exception of the Reserved Garden and
its gigantic conservatory and aquariums, the
Chomp de Mars bids fair to be soon restored to
its former dreary physiognomy. Such erections
in the Park as aro capable of removal and re
construction have been sold for what they would
fetch, which is in general very little; but the vast
majority are being again reduced to their pris
tine element of lath and plaster. Among the
latter are The melancholy remains of the Interna
tional Theatre, which has proved the most
ruinous, as it was assuredly the moat absurd, of
all the money-making speculations for which
the late Exhibition was distinguished above all
preceding ones. I turned in the other day and paid'
two sons for the privilege of a last look at this
gigantic humbug. It was a sad spectacle—
which is'not intended for a pun on the French
word "spectacle!" There stood the vast pit, boxes
and stage, and all their accompaniment which
it had coat nearly 200,000 francs to erect, and
which had never' drawn a reeelpt of more than
1,500 france p night. Indeed I was informed by
a melancholy-looking gentleman, dressed in
black (or tether, perhaps, I ought to say in
mourning), with a red ribbon in his
button-hole, who was in charge of the bare walls
around him, and upon every lineament of whose
face was written "unfortunate shareholder"—
I was informed by this "victim," as ho took my
two sous that the entire receipts realized by the
indertaking had been but about 8,000 or 4,000
francs, and that , the utmost Choy expected ,to re-
cover out of their $OO,OOO Was OrWO tra,p# ! ',,

prebend that that enterprise has been little less
disastrous than the one above mentioned. It
appears that after all there is no truth in there
port that Russia had purchased the main build
ing of the Exhibition for a Winter Garden.
At least the sale by piece-meal of the
ma sB' of iron of which it is corn
posul, is now spoken of. The total amount of
iron used in the construction is stated at 13X
millions of kilogrammes, or not far abort of
8,000 tons ; to put which into place, we are far
ther told, required 6 millions of rivets and the
piercing of 145 millions of boles. The quantity
of timber employed was 1,100 cubic metres, with
s:3,o6ometres of zinc covering for the roof.
An anecdote is told of the Emperor of Austria,
that when visiting the. Exhibition he ascended to
the roof outside, and viewing the town, said to
Baron ilaussrnann, the Prefect, who stood beside
him, "M. le Baron, you are a real magician ;
your city is magical." The Prefect smiled and
bowed. "But, M. le Prefect," ,continued the
- Emperor, "if I might give a piece of advice, it
would be that you should elevate considerably
yonder hill of the Trocadero, which nature seems
to have left too low." The Prefect bowed again,
but, this time without smiling, . and had not
courage to'explain that he had just cut down
that piece of nature's handiwork, which the Em
peror thus suggested to him to rertlevate

Italian Nows—Two Sorts of It.
The ..tfoniteur of Nov. 9 says: "The news from
Italy is satisfactory." From semi-official &litho
rifles, the Paya and the Efendard, the satisfactory
news is thus summed up: "Considerable eineutes
have occurred at Pavia and Milan. It is said that
there were many killed and wounded.--(Pivs.)
The Lpsurrection at Milan is serious. Blood was
bed .—(Eundard.)" The 'lavas agency Oyes no
telegraphic news whatever from Italy to-day.
Bankers' despatches are kept back.
The Arrests at the Tomb.
The Paris correspondent of the London Daily
News writer:
The Monitreer contains a long article justifying the
arrests made on Nov. 2 fiour de4 mores), among vi... - Itors to
the tomb% of Manin and Godefroy owatt:flee. in the
Montmartre Cemetery. A commissary of police, says the
official organ of the French Government, wearing his
scarf, advanced toward a crowd of boo or tit* persons, and
after summoning them "three times, according to
law," to disperse, arrested several. Unfortunately for the
Moiraser, the legal journals, the Draft and Gazetterdes
7'7 ibunaux,announced ehnultaneously that all the person.s
accused of unlawfully assembling (allrouvement) have
been set at liberty by the judge of instruction on the very
ground that the "summons" to disperse dwelt upon by
the it, niteur was not legally made. A great many, how
ever, remain in custody, and are to be tried for ' insults to
authority." "rebellion" and "seditious" cries. This is a
just repetition of the affairs of "Viva la Pologne" when
the Czar was here, "Viva Garibaldi" in front of the
Hotel de Ville the other day,and many others. The police
tires provoke the people by illegal acts. The
illegality is resented on the • spot, and then
arrests are made poll melt. The Judges,,pressed
by explicit articles in the code, areforced
te repudiate the illegal acts of the authorities Is • but a cer
tain residuum of politically obnoxious people selected
for prosecution, on the ground that they contemptn.
ourly and illegally remonstrated against and resisted an
illegal order. The dresir .Natieua4 says that two indi
vidaili4 Hr. Jones, an English subject, and IL Baratta,
an Italian subject, arrested on no other charge than that
of allroupement,which ex CO7IC-Miffo cannot be maintained
against Frenchmen, are kept in custody, because as for
eigners they are not entitled to the benefit of Article 113
of the Code, under which the Judge has discharged their
fellow-prisoners.
DISASTERS.
FRIGHTFUL. CATASTROPHE.
Accident from "kerosene Oil—A We.
mau Burned in the Street.
- Motel the Buffalo Express of the Still
We have to record another probably fatal
accident from the use of kerosene oil. About 7
o'clock last night the denizens of Canal street
were startled by the appearance of a burning
woman in the street, who had rushed out of a
narrow stairway in the Albert block, at the cor
ner of Maiden Lane and Canal street. She ran
to the middle of the street where she stopped,
perfectly enveloped in flames which lit up the
street with all the brilliancy of a bonfire,' as the
lire was at first supposed to be by those who saw
the light from a distance. But, horrible to re
late, it, was a woman, whose inflammable cloth
ing, saturated with, coal oil, was ablaze, the
hissing flames reaching far above the heads of
the large crowd which quickly assembled. Of
courie, the spectators did not, remain in
active. Some threw water upon her,
tut this could not be done speedily
enough to quench the devouring element,
which was to her a veritable hell. A young man
named Charles Smith, with remarkable presence
of mind, pulled oil his overcoat and clasped it
around the burning figure , and another lad
named Charles Noble, imitated his example,
burning his hands considerably in so doing.
Their united efforts smothered the fire almost
instantly, but they came to the rescue too late to
save her from the most Intense suffering.
Patrolmen McKay and Shepard, who were at
tracted to the spot by the cries of the crowd,
carried her np stairs and laid her on the bed in
an almost nude state. Her vestments were either
entirely burned away, or so charred and crisped
as to afford but little protection. The front part
of her body, from the chin to the ankles, was
literally broiled by the fire, but her face, back and
arms did not suffer so severely, probably from
the fact that the fire caught her 'dress in front
and was intensified by her running down stairs
into the street.
Drs. Pratt and Hill were sent for and did all
that human skill could do to alleviate her suf
fering.
The cause of the accident was as follows: The
woman, whose name is Margaret Smith wife of
William Smith, a saloon keeper, was sitting at
the table, sewing, and at her side, in a chair, was
a girl from a neighboring house, about eight
years of age, called Lizzie, who was playing
with a kitten. The leaf of the table was up, and
on it stood an ordinary double, round-tubed
lamp, for burning what is called Union oil
—a species of kerosene. The girl, in her gam
bols with a cat, fell upon the leaf of the table,
which tipped over,
throwing the lamp upon the
floor at the feet of the unfortunate woman. The
lamp was broken by the fall, and the oil was on
tire in an instant. Mrs. Smith attempted to
smother it with the Tower part of her dress, but
in doing so she sealed her own fate. Finding
herself in jeopardy, she rushed down stairs, as
above stated, The girl escaped unharmed.
When our reporter visited her, about 9 o'clock
last evening, she was suffering indescribable
agony,and was perfectly conscious. Some of her
attendants inadvertently stated that she was not
expected to live until morning, when she checked
them, saying there was no necessity of telling
her of it:
The event seemed to produce no serious effect
upon the people of that district. The saloon of
William Smith, her husband, directly opposite,
resounded with disagreeable music, and in the
saloons directly wider the woman who was suf
fering, tho crowds of unfeeling humanity ap
plauded the performances of loonish musicians ,
and clinked their glasses in drunken revelry,.
But such is life in Canal street. •

CRDIE.
BOLD HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN TEN•
NESSEE.
Three Highwaymen Captured and
ung•-v2430 Armed Alen Scouring the
Country.
[From the Somerville (W. Tenn.) Falcon, Nov. 31.]
We learn from a . gentleman who was at Wynn:,
depot a few days ago, that on Saturday last Mr.
Greenleaf, a merchant residing at that place,
while In the woods a few miles from town, was
suddenly confronted by a white man who, with
leveled gun, commanded him, to halt. Mr. G.
being unarmed, at once obeyed the summons,
and the man approached and demanded his
money. It happened he had" but a small
sum, a dollar or two, about his per
son, and the highwayman, being disap
pointed in his expectations, became enraged,
and ordered him to strip for death. Mr. G.
expostulated, but the robber again leveled his
gun, and Mr. G. immediately commenced strip
ping. He concluded, however, to make another.,
effort to save his life, and supposing the robber
cared more for his money than for his life, told
him he had money at home ' and would, if re
leased, cause $lOO to be placed at the foot
of the tree under which they stood, in
three hours' time. The robber accepted
the proposition, agreed to spare his
life, and allowed him to proceed on
his way, after warning him that he could not
escape, him. and that he would certainly kill
him if de money was not forthcoming at the
appointed time. Mr. G. hurried home as fast as
possible, and his first impulse after. reaching
there was to send the money as he had
promised, but wag dissuaded from doing . so by
some frknds to whom he related the circum
stance, they arguini that Mr. G. was
under no obligations to redeem a promise ex
torted from him as the price of his life. They
determined, however, to set a trap for the cap
ture of the scoundrel, and for this purpose
several men, well armed, quietly , concealed them
selves near the tree, determined to capture the
person who should come for the money. ' But
the scoundrel, it is supposed, observed their ap
proach, as no one came. A man answering the
description given by Mr. Greenleaf was arrested
next morning and brought to town. He admitted
being within fifty yards of the spot at the time
of the adventure, but denied being the guilty
party. Mr. G. could not positively identify
hIE, but he was detained by the citizens, and
afterward taken before Esquire Prewer and com
mitted.
A note addressed to Mr. Greenleaf was placed
under his door on Sunday night, signed " Wild
Avenger," telling him that if he had him arrested,
which be thought he could not do, he would be
shot; that he had betrayed the clan, and need not
expect to escape their VenAance. Mr. G. was
very much alarmed after the reception of the note,
and did not venture front home that night, bat
told his friends about it the next morning. A
large number of citizens had assembled,and - while
considering what steps to take in the matter,
intelligence was received that another citizen,
Mr. Alfred Battle, had been shot from the road
sidenot far frpm the depot. After the shots
were fired, two men rushed out of the bushes
andancrVed rapidly coward Mr. /tattle,_ but., for
tuna.ely two citizens on horseback came in
sight which circumstance probably saved the
life c(Mr. 8., as the villains on seeing them re
turned to the bushes and made their escape.
Ths affair , has, of course, created great ex
citement in that section of country, and about
one kindred armed men and boys, with blood
hour*, are scouring the country in Search of
the bbod-thirsty ecoundrels, and it is hoped they
may lucceed in capturing them, and mete out to
them t speedy justice. We learn this morning
that tvo negroes and a white man, supposed to
belong to the gang, have been captured.: The
searehis being kept up.
LArnt.—We learn from a reliable source that
three.negroes belonging to the clan have been
capttred and hung. The villainwho - made the
attack upon Mr. Greenleaf was also captured,
and made his escape. The negroes made a clean
breast of it, gave the locality of their encamp
ment. and stated that the remainder of the clan,
flfteta in number, were white men. Two hun
dred armed citizens aro on the track, and we
truss-_ that the reminder of the gang may be
captured, and share the same fate as their com

MURDER TRIAL IN MINNESOTA.
Strong Circumstantial EvidenCe.
[St. Petr (Minn.) correspondence (Nov. 15) Minneapolis
Tribune.]
The trial of Andreas Roesch for murdering JO
seph hearer, in. this county, is progressing
slowly. It Is • a case of strong circum
stantial evidence, pointing so directly to the
guilty party, that the jury can scarcely have a
doubt of tte guilt, of the party charged. The
body of Seaver was found on the 7th of Septem
ber last with his brains knocked out, and his
body depcsited in a slough in the grass and
water. He had gone out hunting on the sth of
September with alight double-barreled shot-gun.
Roesch's lon testified that on the sth day of
Septembeli, 1857, he saw his father, some thirty
to forty rode from where the witness was raking
bay with a horse and patent raker, come in con
tact with Saurer, take his gun from him, and
beat him in death with the gtui,used as a clnb;and,
that afterhe was thus killed, he. saw his father
carry bird out of sight toward the slough, where,
two days after, he was round. The proof showed
that the , boy Sarver had been killed with his
gun, pieces of which were found on the
ground and identified as belonging to Baurer's
gun. The circumstances g. o to sustain the
boy's statement,. and if fully sustained by ,
corroborating testimony,there will be no doubt of
a conviction. The previous threats of Roesch to
idu this poy in this way were fully proved by
several lifferent witnesses, And Roesch him
self has admitted that he saw the boy about one
or two o'clock of the stake, day on which his
own son testifies he saw hisfather kill him.
This was the last time ho wait ever seen alive.
Roesch and hie son, or Roesch or his son, mur
dered Sarver; and all the circumstances go to
show that the father, Andreas Roesch, Sr., com
mitted the deed.

RICHINOB OPEBA TBOUP.E.—This will be the last
week of the stay of this comyany in Philadelphia.
This evening a final performance of Anbor's opera of
Crown Diayamds will be given. To-morrow the Lily
of Killarney for the last time.
COMPI.LHENTABY CONOEHT.—The grand compli
mentary concert tendered to Mrs. Josephine Schlmpf
will be given at Concert Hall on Tuesday evening,
December .3d. Miss Louise Solllday, Mr. Theodore
Habelmann, Mr. Aaron R. Taylor, Carl Gaertner and
Professor Thunder will appear, in addition to the
talented belie ficiare ; and as the programme is a splen
did one, a musical treat of no ordinary character may
be confidently counted upon.
THE MENDEL/S:101M SOCIETY offers an entertainment
to-night of rare attraction. Mr. Habelmanu, the dis
tinguished tenor; Mr. Harkins, tile favorite basso; Mr.
Thunder, the accomplished pianist; the large chorus
of the Society under the conduct of Mr. Jean Louis,
and the splendid Carl Stmtz orchestra, form a galaxy
of unusual brilliancy. The overture to Dinorah by
Meyerbeer, performed by, the orchestra and chorus, is
worth a pilgrimage longer than that to Plaermal, upon
which the libretto of the opera is based,to say nothing
of the solos by Messrs. Thunder and Sartori upon their
respective Instruments, the piano and violin. Tickets
may be procured from members of .the Society, who
will be in attendance at the hall this evening.

Bins. Lannen,--We are glad to be able to announce
that Mrs. Linder has arranged to appear on Monday
evening next at the Academy of Music in her cele
brated impersonation of "Elizabeth." Mrs. Lander
will remain in this city for a brief period, and during
her engagement will present her Mary Stuart, a role
in which she has acquired nearly equal celebrity with
that grained in Elizabeth: It was in Philadelphia that
Mrs. ',Ruder 's great excellence in the latter character
was first recognized, and our people will extend to her
a hearty welcome now that their verdict has been ap
provedra
