LP situated on the Township Line Road. at the interree

many years as "Old Oaks," Lat.; the country seat el John
Tucker, Fri.
he name is taken from the-crest number and unusual
thrift and beauty of the majestic "Old Oak" trees now
.rowing on the property. and which lend to it a charm
and appearance of permanency peculiarly In harmony
with the purposes to which theground is dedicated.
No better selection at a location for a cemetery could
have been made. Ali the advantage, possessed by each
of the other cemeteries are c,aubLued in this. It is cen
tral in.eituatiou,and eatily accessible by good roads from
all directions; it Is perfectly convenient to and is but a
shorrdiatancy from Germantown. Manayunk, Nicetown,
Frankford and liridesburg. and can be reached front all
Parts of th e city of Philadelphia by means of Itroad
street, which is now the mast attractive and command
ing in appearance of any avenue. not only in this city
but in the whole country, and which Is tree from those
interruptions and delays which render private travel on
most of our highways not only disagreeable but often
dangerous.
It extends for long distimcss on both Nicetown lane and
Township Line road, and will have three main and Grua.
mental gateways, to as to afford facilities for Ingress and
egress from all directions. and the drives through the
place and all the approaches to it aro so arranged that its
embellishments and superior advantages cannot fail to be
at once aeon and appreciated by, the visitor.
It is the intention of the proprietors to make "Old Oaks"
the most beautiful Cemetery in America, and the artid-
Mal decorations, the lakes, drives, walks and hortiecilta
ral ornamentation, will give It an appearance mutat
.passed 'by any other ever brought to public notice, and
will tend to allay the feelinir of gloom often caused by the
sombre and funereal aspect so prevalent in Cemeteries
generally.
The Buildings on the property are well-known as the
most costly and handsome ever erected by private capital.
The Mansion will be used in part as a Cannel, and the
warrew dings beautified in keeping with the character of
the place; in a word, the Proprietors wiSt to do away
with the feeling of repulsiveness so often associated with
Graveyards and Charnel Houses, and bold out every in
ducement to the friends and relatives of the departed, to
visit the grounds which contain relics eo precious to
them,
The "Old Cake will be made an object of Interest to
strangers, as we'l as residents of l'hiladelPhia, and while)
the solemnity of the scene will not be vio a ea, yet the
impression will be conveyed, that death is a mere sepa
t'ation,and that those who have fought 'life's battle." are
only resting from their labors, and are always kept alive
in the memory Of their survivors.
The grounds will be open to Visitors at all hours dur
ing the day. The office of the Company is at No. 413

the Cemetery can be seen, applications made for lots, and

dwellings of the poor was 19.011 and 108 persons were

W.asituNorms, Oct. 28,1868.--Orders were is
sued to-day by Secretary Schofield, permitting
all employ& In the various Bureaus of the War
Department, who are entitled to vote in other
States, to go home for that purpose. This was
what might have been expected of General Scho
field, who did not atop to inquire Low each man
intended to vote, but gave them a carte blanche
to go, regardless of their political sentiments.
Among those who go from this Department will
be some who will vote the Democratic ticket
on Tuesday nexL
Secretary Mectillosh, of the Treasury Depart
ment, has also given every facility V, clerks and
others in his Department, who claim a residence
in ether States, to go home to vote. He has is •
sued no orders upon the subject, but every appli
cation approved by the chief of a division in
which the clerk may be serving, is approved by
the Secretary without objection. The only nes
tion to be decided is whether the services 01 a
clerk can be spared for a few days to allow him
to co home, for scarcely any employes in the
departments consider Washington City their
and if the ehief thinks he can get along
without detriment to the public service, and al
low his subordinates to go, the privilege is sel
dom oe never refused. This leave of absence is
in addition to that given the clerks in the simemer
months, and in granting it some dis
crimination is necessary on account of some
making application for this purpose
who really don't intend to vote, but only to take
a holiday for a few days at Government expense.
There is no restriction iu this Department upon
those who go home to vote, for a considerable
number are Democrats, and they are equally as
anxious to go and vote for their candidates as
the Republicans. The clerk, Chipley, who wrote
the insulting letter to the Republican Congres
sional Executive Committee, in reply to their
circular requesting voluntary contributions in
aid of their cause, is a sample of some of the
ultra Democrats who make their bread by work
ing for Uncle Sam; and he is still retained in his
position, notwithstanding he endeavored to seek
notoriety and martyrdom by his epistolary efforts.
His turn will come soon, however, and when the
"sweeping-out" takes place next spring, he will
very likely be one of the tiret to "walk the
plank.'
In the Interior Department, Secretary Brown
ing, it is reported, disapproves of all applications
et Republican clerks in his Department to go
home to vote, but is very generous to Democratic
clerks making the same application. They are
allowed to go, without objection. Browning
is an extreme Democrat, and this course is only
what might have been expected of him, and is
in striking contrast to the liberality shown by
Secretaries Schofield and McCulloch to the em
ploo es in their Departments.
OUTRAGFS IN BALTIMORE UPON RAILROAD
PASSENGERS.
Certain parties here are keeping np the agita
tion about apprehended attacks ha Baltimore
upon those who may pass through that city in
railroad trains on their way home to vote at the
coming election, and at the meetings some very
imprudent resolutions were offered, which only
tend to provoke trouble. So far as my observa
tion goes, those making tae most noise over it
were not upon any of the trains when these at
tacks occurred, and they appear to be aiming to
make personal notoriety out of it, or to vont
their spleen upon the innocent railroad compan
ies. The.allair of October 12th was bad enough
in all conscience, as I know from personal expe
rience, but it has bad the effect of arousing the of
ficers of the railroad - companies to the necessity
of taking precautions to prevent a repetition of
these disgraceful attacks. These officers have
given assurances that proper measures will be
taken to prevent their recurrence, and there
need not be any doubt that this promise will be
religiously kept, for if it should happen that these
occurrences should be repeated within the next
few days, Congress will unquestionably, at its
next session, take such action as to make a rail
road connection entirely around Baltimore, with
out going through the city. SUSQUEHANNA.

The London Nov, comments ru3 follows upon
Mr. Johneon'e acceptance of an invitation to the
Liverpool dinner•
"A Liverpool journal, in announcing Mr. Laird's
acceptance, observes that ft is understood the
dinner is to be ' neutral !' It is difficult to imagine
the kind ofnentrailly referred to. There was a
question whether the United States should or
should not survive, on which Mr. Laird actively
assumed the negative: is Mr. Reverdy Johnson
invited to a banquet animated by a spirit of neu
trality on the question of his country's farther
existence? Or is be to grace a festal board
where the propriety of burning American ships
by English subjects, in time of peace between the
two nations, is to be remitted to the region of
undecided questions, concerning which the
American Minister's parliamentary host may re
serve his well-known views for future emergen
cieS? It seems almost incredible that the gentle
men of Liverpool should not perceive that the
presence of Mr. Laird on such an occasion must
be an immediate and flagrant violation of its
neutrality in any possible sense in Which such a
banquet can be said to be neutral. If the occa
sion shall mean anything at all, it must be a
friendly welcome to the einbassador of a nation
whose friendship the people of Liverpool desire.
To introduce to that Embassador the most active•
enemy his country had in this country during
•the war, who is at this moment being
prosecuted in the American courts for the part
he bore in destroying the property of Mr. Rev
erdy Johnson's constituents, one wno drove
their commerce from the seas, and was mainly
itistrnmental In prolonging to four years a war
that otherwise might have ended in two or three,
were to make The gathering, in transatlantic
eves.an expression of sympathy for those who in
the South are trying to recover 'the lost cause.'
At such a banquet the flag of the Alabama and
the 'Stars and Bare' would be seen replacing the
Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack; And the
toast to the President, drunk by those who re
viled Abraham Lincoln, would be taken as one
more insult to the American nation.'
The News further says :
"It is painful to apprehend anything preju
dicial to the health of distinguished gentlemen,
but we venture to predict Maki:littler Mr. John
son or Mr. Laird will be a subject of solicitude
rather than an object of interest at the Liverpool
banquet. Any one who has paid the slightest at
tention to the recent tone of the American press
will have no doubt as to the result of any frater
nization of the United States Minister with the
builder of the Alabama, however formal or dis
tant."
The News points ont that "Mr. Johnson's ca
reer as a So'uthern politician has been necessarily
such as to make his relations with the old Con
federate party in England of the most delicate
description possible." It warns him that he is
"liable to be so patronized by the party in this
cone try to which we have referred that the north
ern people shall be compelled to withdraw him."
di r. Burlingame in England.
The London eerreispondent of the N. Y. Tribune
writtE:
The first official interview between Lord Stan
ley and Mr. Burlingame took place on Thursday,
the let instant. Lord Stanley's reception of Mr.
Burlingame and his colleagues in the mission
was flattering and friendly. He expressed his
gratification at the sending of such an Embassy,
and his personal pleasure in finding it constituted
as It is. It was peculiarly fortunate, Lord Stan
ley thought, that its chief should be an Ameri
can, and he was so far from manifesting
any of the petty jealousy displayed in The
Times, that he regarded it as natural and propit
ious that China had thus proclaimed her confi
dence in and sympathy with the youngest of
civilized nations. He avowed his perfect readi
ness to enter upon negotiations to insure China
the fair policy which she desired to adopt, and
that freedom from an odious and irritating for
eign dictation which she so justly resented. The
interview was completely satisfactory from be
ginning to end.
ItOITI E.
Queen Ihutbella and the Pope-Cormier-
Dallied In home-The tiaribaldlan
Panic.
The Roman correspondent of the Ad/ 0;, ,
zi tie sends the lollowitg very interesting items
Queen Isabella has accepted the hospitality
tiered her by the Pope, and is daily expected a.
[tome. Her fall is a great blow to the Holy
Father. The Roman population, on the con
1 fury. bail it with satisfaction. It must be said,
however, that the announcement that the Pope's
invitation has been accepted by the ex-Qquen
erestes discontent chiefly on account of a rumor
that she does not possess a halfpenny. There is
a story that on hearing this intelligence the Pope
said to his Premier, "Antonelli, what think you?
Shall I give her back the magnificent tiara she has
:(nt mt ? ' The Cardinal replied, "Most Holy Fa•
tber,the tiara has been presented to the Apostolic
Palace, of which I am prefect, and I must oppose
its restitution; uor has your Holiness any power
over it." This anecdote is related on trustworthy
authority.
Monsignor Franchi, who hail been directed to
leave Madrid if the revolution triumphed, is now
ordered to remain at his post till he sees some
sign of the disposition of the
new Government towards the Holy
see.. It Is the established policy of the Vatican to
recognize all de facto Governments, and this
course will be followed in the case of Spain unless
its revolutionary rulers show themselves hostile
to the Church. There is no truth in the state
ment that the Queen has asked the Holy Father
to suspend the functions of the Spanish Bishops,
nor has such a measure been thought of here.
There is, as may be supposed, great consterna
tion at the Farnese Palace at the news from
Spain. No certain intelligence has been received
there about Count de Girgenti, and Queen Maria
Sophia, who returned on the 2d, is very ill. On
these grounds there was no celebration of the
King's name-day last Sunday.
The Holy Father has not been prevented by his
dejection from taking his October promenades.
Yesterday he walked to the Roman Seminary on
Monte Parioli, artd to-day he visited the Abbey of
the Trappist.6'W2tntly built at San Paolo alle Tre
Fontane.
The day before yesterday the Pope despatched
Monsignor Prospero-Bruzzi,prelate of his house
bold and clerk of the Apostolic Chamber, to Ber
lin, on an extraordinary mission. The prelate is
the bearer of an autograph letter to the King of
Prussia, but its tenor is as yet unknown.
The Vatican seems to have got over its panic
about the Garibaldians and the Italian army, and
to be most apprehensive of its own subjects.
The other day .Monsignor 'fetid°li, director of the
fabric of St. Peter, asked the Pope if he might
issue tickets to foreigners to visit the cupola, on
which the Holy Father replied. "It may be pru
dent to admit there only a very few, and those
only persons you aro sure of ; for we are in no
present danger of being attacked from without,
but I believe we shall be attacked from within."
Some small steamers have arrived from France.
and are assisting the Pontifical vessels to watch
the Tiber, for it is by this channel that the revolu
tionists are expected to introduce arms. A few
days ago all the streets leading to the river
outside the Porta Portese were guarded by troops.
On Sunday, at midnight, a shot from a rifle was
fired at a sentinel at Fort St. Angelo, and subter
raucous noises were heard at the Macao barracks,
behind the Pretorlan camp, suggesting a suspi
cion that an excavation had been made in the
rock at a great depth. The soldiers aro in fear of
a mine, and will not sleep in the barrack at night
but lie down outside. The engineers, share their
apprehensions, but are unable to discover any ex
cavation ; although the antiquary, Visconti, de
clares there has been a subterraneous passage in
this quarter, from tbo other side of the Tiber,

A soldier of the Pontifical army has denounced

A native of South Carolina writes to an etni
neat 0561Cian of New York as follows: •
"At. ile great Democratic meeting here, I saw
boys, hardly entered upon their teens, with a pis
tol in one pocket and a bottle of whisky in the
other, damning the Radicals and threatening to
shoot niggers. The negroes very sensibly kept opt
of the way. I had never fully realized until that
day what a drunken people we are, espetially the
young men. It is rare on such days to see one
entirely sober after he has been in town long
enough to get drunk. I was talking to a sub
stantial Democrat, to-day, who believes that
Grant will be elected, and that the peaceable citi
zens will be disposed to submit. Bat he says
that "all hell cannot control our young men and
boys. They will commit outrages; the military
will be sent here, and• will punish the innocent
and drive them to side with the -.outlaws " This
is a picture of the state of affairs in one place In

seem quite likely to maintain their ascendancy.

to say that he will continue to keep the
peace. The Chief of Police being obnoxious,
the Board asked him to retire. When be de
clines they try and dismiss him—the dismissal
being based on a technical violation of law which
they themselves advised. Thereupon Mr. John
son's Collector of Internal Revenue, the bold and
unscrnPulons James B. Steadman, is put at the
head of the police force. Union men believe the
plot is to Intimidate the negroes, and to keep
enough of them from voting to secure a rebel
majority for Seymour and Blair, and the indica
tions certainly point to such an effort."

The following letter from John Minor Botts, in
response to an Invitation to address the citizens
of Petersburg, will be read with interest:—
ACIIVEN, October 20th, 1868.—Resit Bunogss,
Petersburg:—Dear Sir—Your favor of the 9th
inst., iaviting me to be present and participate
in the proceedings of the proposed "grand old
Union meeting,' to be held in your city this even
ing, is just received; too late, ander any circum
stances, to enable me to comply with the flatter
ing Invitation. The debility consequent upon
my long indisposition, still continues to such an
extent that any attempt at public speaking on my
part would necessarily prove an abortive failure.
To read aloud in the domestic circle divests me of
all ivy strength.
I regret more than any one else can do that I
shall not probably have an opportunity of giving
to my friends such views as 1 have formed of the
great repudiator on the one hand and of the ex
treme revolutionist and despiser of the law on
the other, and at the same time of offering such
vindication of the principles of the Republican
Harty a- it seems to me they are eminently ehtl
iled to, however erroneously or unwisely a por
tion of that party may have acted. '
The contrast between the claims and the melts
of the candidates of the two parties are so great
that I shonid never at any time have deemed it
necessary to enter upon a review of their past
services before an intelligent audience. That
question now, however, is virtually settled. and
as the Democracy cannot afford to keep up this
fight for four years more, and as the Republican
party now in power, and which will remafp in
power, are all for peace and a restoration of amity
and a better state of feeling than has existed for
the last eight years, it is greatly to be hoped that
the country may enter at once upon a scene of
eace, harmony and conciliation.
We are the victorious party and can afford to
oiler terms of liberality, and if they are not ac
cepted in good faith let it be the last offer we shall
make, and if they demand a tight we must figh
it to the end.
I am, very respectfully and truly yours,
Wade Hampton to the Negroes.
A great Democratic barbecue Was got up a
Columbia, 8. C., on the 10th instant, to receive
Mr. J. Q. Adams, of Massachusetts. Mr. Adam+
did not arrive, however, and the crowd was en
tertained by Gov. Perry, Wade Hampton and
°Met, General Hampton thus addressed the
neeroes :
I advise you to vote the Democratic ticket,tor
as I have said everywhere, I believe that not only
the welfare but the safety of the negroes depends
upon the success of the Democracy. If the Rid
icals are successful, their tate must be that of
the Indians. If you do not wish to vote the
Democratic ticket, if you do not understand the
!trestion, stay away from the petits. Trust the
matter to the white man whom you know. We
will see that you are secure in all your rights.
You shall be equal to the white man before the
law. For that we are willing : but
we will never consent that you shall be superior
to the white man. We will give you your rights:
but we have some rights of our own, and we in
tend to maintain them. I will tell these colored
people how much it is to their interest to go with
the Democrats. We know that if the Radicals
succeed we will be ruined,ttud we will not be able
to hire the negroes. If you want to vote the
Radical ticket you must go to the scalawags and
carpet-baggers for employment. Tell them to
pay your wages. You are Free. When
you jcin Democratic clubs we shan't ask
you to swear to vote for 'anybody that a
parcel of dirty scalawags may nominate. You
are free to vote according to your liking. Now,
I don't tell you that you must vote the Demo
cratic ticket; but I warn you that if you vote the
Racieal ticket you widen the breach between the
white men and yourselves. I advise all my
friends to keep their contracts to the letter ; but
next year tell all those negroes who vote the
Radical ticket to go home to their masters, the
Radicals, and get employment and support for
them."

New Orleans, as follows :
"Already the work of carrying the State for the
Democracy by violence has commenced in solemn
earnest. The Republican officers of the Parish
of St. Mary, one of the littgest and most thickly
populated parishes of the State, have been set
upon by bands of armed members of the Kukktx
organization, and murdered. The Repub

the Register, has been destroyed, its press

by the same violence and death which Is 'sweep-
Ing over this country, at this time.. The state
of things Is fearful to contemplate. And if half
of what is reported of the plans of the Ku-Kiss
is true, matters, , will be as much worse than
they are now, as Mose of the present are worse
than the days when Yankee bayonets held this
town in check. We hear of plans to kill the of
ficers of the present State Government, whether
Grant is elected or not, the object being to force
a new election, In which the Miklos feel certain
of success. The tidings as to this plan come
from respectable parties, some of them the oldest
and best citizens of Now Orleans."
What an Ex-1k laveholdeles Wile Says
The London Daily News publishes the follow
ing:
"We are permitted to copy a portion of a letter
from a Virginia lady who, before the war, was
the wife of a large elaveholder. It was written
to a relative in this country from a town in East
ern Virginia, where the writer's ancestors resided
for a century before her:
"'I sometimes wonder what—would feel if
he could open his eyes on this old 'burg.' Rip
Van Winkle did not findireater changes than he
would see. The whites abuse the colored folks
for want of thrift, yet they who once wont bare
foot, hatless and unkempt, now have, even on
week days, all the marks of this change in being
clothed and in their right mind, in the use of
their faculties. Their step is no longer the hur
ried one of those pursued by tear, nor that of
sloth and listless despair, but free , and springy
In short, it Is vain to try and describe
what this, change is, but I thank God
I live to see it. The snare is
broken, and they and I have escaped. I think
this is a silly, passionate, mad people. They, are
in high feather since Johnson's defeat of Con
gress at his trial, and are defiant in the hope of a
Democratic President. This is shown in irrita
tion on the old subject, 'the negroes.' They de
nounce all of the race who think of standing up
for suffrage, or any right of support as members
of society In taking part or interest in the go
vernment of themselves. All are dismissed from
employment who dare to do so."'
NEW Yoz u OC'. 29th.—A gentleman named
Woolsey called at the real estate office of Mr.
Edward Coffin, No. 77• Cedar Street, yesterday,
carrying a tin box, which he laid on the counter
and carefully concealed with his umbrella. He
then turned to converse with one of the firm. A
moment later he turned and the boa was gone.
It contained 5113,000 in •bonds, bank stock and
Currency.
An. arrest was made yesterday of one Michael
Feeney, a cartman, for larceny of goods in,his
charge while conveying them to a vessel for ship
ment South. He made disclosures which led to,
the belief that many thousands of dollars have
been lost through a similar system of villainy
among certain cartmen.
Butt Riley and Abe Hicken, two noted pugi
lists, were up in the Jefferson Market Police
Court yesterday, having been arrested by the
police while engaged in a prize fight in the rear
yard of the drinking saloon 755 Broadway. They
had locked the doors, and when the police came
at the call of the proprietor the door had to be
broken in before they could gain admittance.
Riley was badly punished, and the entire party
were released on 4,500 bad each.

—The Worrell sisters do a poor thing very
poorly. The libretto of the Ulund bachess is the
cleanest and smartest of any of the wretched lit
tle dramas which are burdened with Offentuch's
mouth-organ music. But the Worrell Sisters,
commendably anxious Jo be decent, have eels
iored it down to absolutely intense virtuousness.
conkequently they have robbed it of the only at
truetive element that it ever possessed for the ad
mirers of open/ bommjfm, and now it is nothing
more than a small farce, brightened up with a
few jig tunes. The acting of the sisters is only
tolerable. They are traveling about the country
upon their New York reputation; but popularity
in that town is very cheap, and other cities arc
are very apt to reverse the verdict, when the as
pirant tor honors strays away from those who
are accustomed to ignore every fault if an actress
has a pretty face, a sive:cc voice and a lively man
ner. In these particulars the Worrell sisters cer
tainly are not deficient. But they ought never
JOHN M. Burl
to Necture to appear except as men/bore of a
good stock company. The French troupe acted
well in the t; and Inwhes. , . if we except mach
coarseness and vulgarity, and the imi
tation of the young ladles at the Chestnut is as
much inferior to the original as a mere imitation
et , l3 ne. We bite the Miss Worrell who does the
"Duchess" better than Tostee, to be sure, bat
that is not because Worrell is good hut because
Tostee is scandalously brd. We seriously
advise these young women, if they persist in
"starring" to abandon this miserable French bur
lesque, and apply themselves to correct produc
tion of a better class of dramas. In one they
only fail in attempting to mimic a very unworthy
thintr. In the other they may make a reputation
that will be valuable.
—Miss Clara Louise Kellogg- will visit Philadel
phia within a few days, line will give a short
series of concerts at Concert Hall. This worthy
and competent artist has al wa3 s been a favorite
here, ana as her very remarkable bat deserved
triumphs in Europe have awakened a new In
terest in her, we are sure she will have a hearty
and cordial welcome, and will sing to crowded
houses. She will be supported by a company of
accomplished artists.
—Lotta will give her final kick in Philadelphia
on Saturday night, and then will transport her
"Marchioness" and - Firefly" to some other lo
cality. Her engagement at the Arch has been
very brilliant and very successful, as it deserved
to be, for she is a charming little actress, whose
vivacity and spirit cannot fail to make her a
favorite even with the most dyspeptic. Her
special fault that she kicks too mace. If she
could only manage to keep her diminutive gaiters
more quiet, she would improve as much as an,
artist can who abandons a very vulgar and un
seemly habit,aud clings closer to strict propriety.
—Bateman's new French company will be here
on November 0, with Offenbacta's Barbe Matte,
the music of which Is that of the Grand Duchess
rehashed, and the story of which is—well, it is
not Blue Beard as everybody knows that sangui
nary tale of conjugal Infelicity; it is a more unin
teresting and a much less proper narrative. We
sincerely hope Batemen will produe 3 Genevieve
de Brabant here. It needs just a single represen
tation of that, the most scandalous of 011enbach's
productions, to disgust Philadelphians with this
wretched French stuff, and to kill eperet baulk
in this city.
—On Monday evening next Mrs. Drew will pro
duce a play entitled lie's Got Money, a draetta
tization from sensational Braddon's novel "Only
a Clod." On November 011 the drama entitled
The Lancashire Lass will be presented. This
play has had immeuse popularity In London, and
Mrs. Drew's version was purchased directly from
the author several months ago.

—At the American Theatre this evening the
