THE "OLD OA 5" CEMETERY
Is situated on the Township Lino Road., at the intersect
tion of Nicetowu lane, and embraces Siserx-rave must of
romantically beautiful land. It fa the estate known for
many years as "Old Oaks," late the country seat of John
Tucker, Eeq.
The name is taken from the great number and unusual
thrift and beauty of the majestic "Old Oak" trees now
growing on the property, and which lend to It a charm
and appearance of permanency peculiarly in harmony
with the purposes to which the ground is dedicated.
No better selection of a location for a cemetery could
have been made. All the advantages possessed by each
of the other cemeteries are combined in this. It is cen
tral in eituation.and easily accoesible by good roads from
all directions: it is perfectly convenient to and is but a
abort distance from Germantown. Manayank, Nicatown.
Frankford and Bridesburg, and can be reached from all
parts of the city of Philadelphia by means of Broad
street, which is now the most attractive and command
ing in appearance of any avenue, not only in this city
but in the whole country, and which le free from those
interruptions and delays which render private travel on
snout of onr highways not only disagreeable but often
dangerous.
It extends for long distances on both Nicetown lane and
Township Line road, and will have three main and orna
mental gatewaye, so as to afford facilities for ingress and
egress from all direction's. and the drives through the
place and all the approaches to it are so arranged that its
embellishments and superior advantages cannot fall to be
at once seen 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
ctal decorations the lakes, drives, walks and horticultu
ral ornamentation, will give it an appearance =Bur
passed by any other ever borough!, to public notice, and
will tend to allay the feeling of gloom often caused by the
sombre and funereal aspect eo prevalent in v.:ornateness
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 .Chapel, and the
aurroue dings beautified in keeping withs the character of
the place; in a word, the Proprietors wish to do away
with the feeling of repulsiveness so often associated with
Graveyards and Charnel Houses, and hold out every in
ducement to the friends and relatives of the departed, to
visit the grounds which contain relics so precious to
them.
The "Old Oaks" will be made an object of Interest to
strangers, as well as residents of Philadelphia, and while
the solemnity of the scene will not be vio,a ee, yet the
impression will be conveyed, that death is a mere saps.
ration,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
Chestnut street, Room No. 1, where maps and plans of
the Cemetery can be seen applications made for lots, and
any desired information given. 0c24-rp et*

(Correspondence of the Pllladolpkta gvanlna Banatind
PARIS, Friday, Oct. 16, 1868.—A. summer, such
as Europe has not experienced for many years,
seems to bit last drawing to a close, and our
fashionable population is at last slowly and re
luctantly returning to winter quarters. Until
within the last two days, a fresh burst of heat
and sunshine seemed almost to early , 118 back from
the end to the beginning of Au tumn,and such per
sons as had returned to town began to regret their
prempture movements. But a sudden changein the
wind reminded us that cold w:other was not far
off, and speedily stripped the (fees in our avenues
of the few vestiges which still hung upon them
of their summer clothing. Another reminder of
the apprOach of "winter and cold weather" is the
long trein of carts and trucks which may at this
season be constantly seen traversing the streets
of Paris, and all wending their way in the
direction of the Bois do Bologne, laden
with the more delicate 'description of
plants and shrubs with which the luxurious
taste of our Prefect, Baron Ilaussmann
loves to deck what ho may almost call "his"
capital, for it is his creation. The scale
on which this species of civic decoration is
now carried on by the Ville de Paris is gigantic,
and the mode of conducting it has been system
atized in that admirable manner for which
French administrative capacity is so celebrated.
The Ville de Paris is its own gardener, horticul
turist and grower of every species of plant, and
all is done with the style and magnificence for
which the Prefect is famous. No stranger should
be in POlll3 without visiting the establishment
when•all this vegetable nurture and production is
carri/d on. It is situated at Passy, in what was
once the Royal Chateau of La Patette, and may
wet; be called one of the chief curiosi
ties of New Pqris. There, over a space
c f nearly twenty acres Is spread the most mag
nificent horticultural establishment perhaps in
the world. A visit to it at this season is especi
ally Interesting, because you see it In full action,
and can observe the special uses to which it is
appropriated. There are more than twenty hot
houses spread through the grounds for the winter
preservation of the more delicate plants, which
are placed out to adorn the new parks, squares
and avenues during the spring and summer. One
of these, appropriated to palm trees, bananas
and other exotic, is of vast dimensions. and the
whole afford a space, I was told, of more
than ten thousand square yards. Then follows
a magnificent conservatory for tree-camellas,
then another containing more than 300 varieties
of the same plant in pots ; then another still
larger, filled with myriads of plants, requiring
only a mean temperature. But perhaps the
greatest curiosity of all is the immense " toning
house "—a regular floral and horticultural manu
factory, which never ceases producing, winter or
summer, and turns out hundreds of thousands of
plants yearly of every description. The construc
tion of this hot-house Is moat peculiar and corn-
plicated, and well worthy, I should think, of the
attention and study of any one interested in hor
iieniture, either for private or public purposes.
But the matter is too technical for us me attempt
a description of it here.
In another part of the grounds may be seen a
vast cellar, more than 2,000 yards square, where
in are laid up for the winter the half-a-million of
tuberculous roots, destined to form the superb
ra‘i:Bl:/.4, or clumps of flowers, which every visitor
must have so often stood to admire in the gar
tic us of the Champs Elysegs,or the Park de Mon
ceau,or the numerous other spots now devoted In
Paris to floral embellishment. Besides all the above
there is a vast sort of "laboratory" devoted to the
confection of the peculiar mixtures of earth best
adapted to every kind of plant, and
w Iv.re all the operations of repotting
take place. Finally, I may remark
that the establishment is provided with twenty
two apparatuses for supplying hot water, and
two powerful caloriPres for supplying hot air to
this multitude of green-houses and couservato
rks.
I bare allowed the aspect of the season and the
sour•enirs of a most interesting visit to La Muettt
to carry me much further than I had intended, to
the complete forgetfulness of Spanish Revolutions
and other political "hot-houses" of a very differ
ent description from the above. Queen Isabella
is certainly one of those people who have made
their houses too' hot to hold them. By general
assent, she has not a friend left in the world—
unless It be the Emperor Napoleon and the Pope:
and of these, the latter is unable to help her, and
the former is certain to go on in his usual way,
"letting I dare not wait upon I would," until
he has effected nothing but to secure for himself
the of the Spanish people and their new
government. Thus far Napoleon's Spanish pol
icy has answered no other purpose than to show
that he would gladly see the revolutionary
leaders come to grief by quarreling among them
selves. And, perhaps, with such a people as the
Spaniards, ho could not have adopted a surer
course for binding them to each other! The
Court leaves Biarritz to-morrow for St. Cloud,
where a ministerial council is announced for Sun
day next, when some new blunder will per
haps be concocted by this greatest of political
"failures."
The great law case which has attracted so
much attention in banking and commercial
circles, both in the United States and England,
between the new shareholders of the once lama's
Credit Mobilier and the acting Directors of the
same establishment, has, I believe, been brought
to an arrangement by a compromise. The chief
managers of the Credit Mob'lier, It will be re
membered—the Messrs. Pereire Brothers, and
others..-obts►lned leave of the Govermbent to
Issue, and did issue, sixty million francs of new
Shares in their great credit establishment; and
within some six months of their having done so
the bubble burst, and the Society was found to be
in a condition of hopeless insolvency. The pro-
ceeding was a most shameful one, and the credit
of the government was almost as seriously in
volved and compromised in it as that of the
Messrs. Pereire themselves, for the public voice
declared openly that the imperial government
had connived at the transaction, in order to assist
such ardent partisans of the Empire and its finan
cial system as the above individuals had always
shown themielves to be. Enconraged by this
feeling, some of the new shareholders who had
been thus entrapped into buying worthless paper,
boldly sued the Directors as personally lia
ble, , before the Tribunal._.of Commerce,
and that Court; in an elaborate
and most carefully worded judgment,
condemned the Directors to refund. the whole
sixty millions to the defrauded shareholders, on
the_ground_that the former_were fully cognizant
Ct the insolvency of the COMpany at the time
the new issue was made, and that the entire
transaction was in fact an enormous swindle.
The well-known political economist, M. Michel
Chevalier, was included in this sweeping judg
ment. The defendants appealed, and succeeded,
to a certain extent. In getting the judgment of
the Court below modified, so as to be less sweep
ing in its effects; and M. Michel Chevalier and
one or two others were excepted, as having been
in reality non-cognizant of the insolvency of the
Credit Mobiller. It is on this latter judgment that
a compromise has, I underatand,been effected; but
on pretty severe terms, the culpable Directors hav
ing agreed to refund to the shareholders a sum of
thirty-five millions of francs. The lesson, how
ever, will, I trust, piove a good one, and the de
cision of the French Courts be upheld elsewhere
and verve as a warning against such practices
generally.
The velocipede mania is carried now to such
"lengths" in France, thatpractitioners of the new
locomotive system refuse to confine themselves
to mere exhibitions in the streets, and boldly
launch out and undertake actual journeys on this
new Bucephalus. Four gentlemen, says a pro
vincial journal in the Gartho, arrivedin our town
(Mans) the other day,on the velocipedes,and "de
scended," that is "put up," or "got off," at the
HiAel do France. They had come all the way
from Tronvillo, via Paris, in four days, and were
bound for Bordeaux. They seemed mno way fa
tigued, adds the journal, by their last day's work
of fifty miles, but "having greased their wheels,"
started afresh next morning.
ENGLAND.
an English View of Grant's Election.
[From the London Morning Star, Oct. 17.3
The question to be decided next month is
purely imperial, as opposed to the many local
questions and phases of political feeling which
more or less enter into the decision of all State
elections. The people at large will be called on
to say whether they prefer the sagacious soldier
who brought the war to a victorious termination
or the plotting politician whose sympathies were
with the rebels and whose policy would be
directed to the strengthening of that party in
power which is daily plunging the South deeper
and deeper into anarchy. Some of the North
ern politicians,even of the Republican party,have
been hoping against hope that the beaten slave
holders would understand the logic of events and
cease to struggle for that unjust supremacy' over
the colored race which terminated with slavery.
They were willing to forget the issues of the war,
to welcome back the representatives of Southern
constitnences, and to discuss with them the re
maining subjects of controversy on the old ground
of equality under Vit constitution. The history
of President JOlihson's administration has
shown, however, that the Southern politicians
are incorrigible, that they cannot be entrusted
with the management of affairs apart from the
supervision of the central government,that wher
ever they have the power they will make the
legislation of Congress of no effect, and that in
order to get power they will not scruple to have
resort to bloodshed and terror. fitioald Seymour
be elected President the four years of hls term
would be used by the South for the purpose of
endeavoring to recover its old ascendancy, and
only a miracle could prevent the civil war from
breaking out with greater bitterness than before.
The action of the Georgia House of Legislature
in turning out all the legally elected representa
tives who were tinged with negro blood, is a spe
cimen of the insolent, vindictive and overbearing
spirit of these well-beaten but still unrepentant
elaveholders.
SPAIN.
Revolutionary News—The Expulsion
01 the Jesuits.
Subjoined is the text of the Ministerial order
es pelting the Jesuits from Spain:
'•Dinortm, Oct. 12.—1 decree the suppression
throughout the Peninsula and the adjacent islands
of the regular Order called Company of Jesus.
All the colleges and training-schools for priests
shall be closed in three days, and the temporali
ties taken possessiox of by persons ap
pointed by
.the authorities of the provinces in
which these establishments are situated. In
this latter measure will be included all the
property and effects of the Order, movable and
unmovable, buileings and revenues, which shall
form part of the national wealth in conformity
with the provision of the Royal Decree of the 4th
of July, 1835. Tae members of the company
rhall no longer be able to meet as a body or a
community, to wear the dress of the Order, nor
mbe in any way answerable to the superiors
of the body existing in or out of Spain
Those not ordained as priests shall remain
entirely subjected to ordinary civil jurisdiction.
I charge the Archbishops, Bishops, and all those
who exercise ecclesiastical or civil authority, to
aid each in what concerns him, the faithful exe
cution of the present enactment, In conformity
with the Pragmatic Sanction of the 2d Apri1,1767,
and the Brief of his Holiness of the 21st Ja1y,1773.
"A_NTONIO ROMERO ORTIZ,
".Minister of Grace and Justice."
Speaking of this document, a correspondent
rays:
" The decree has been received with very gen
eral favor. All the papers warmly approve of the
act, and I have yet to hear a person express any
disapprobation of the measures taken by the gov
ernment to effectually remove a great evil to the
State and society. Ido not mean to say
that there is not a considerable party in
the country who will regard the act as
impious and cruel, and .one that will
surely bring down long and terrible punishment
on the heads of the chief movers in the scheme.
But the opinions of such people will have no ef
fect on the Ministry, who will carry opt their de
signs in spite of obstacles the Church may at
tempt to raise up before them. Many of the
Jesuits detected the rising of the storm and made
off. Where they will all settle is a question; bat
they will doubtless find an asylum in France,
where they can watch the future course of events
and be on hand to avail themselves of the change
in the current of public opinion, should it ever
come."
The German Arctic Expedition,
The Germania, with the German Arctic Expe
dition on board, has recently cast anchor before
Bremen. Although prevented by solid masses of
ico from approaching Greenland or Gil!island,
both of which they subsequently tried, the expe
dition boasts of having penetrated to the highest
degree of northern latitude ever reached by ship.
They first endeavored to effect a landing
on the eastern shore of Greenland. Be
tween July 24 and August 10 three at
tempts were made to reach the coast, clearly
visible in the distance, but in vain. The first at
75.34 deg. N. lat. and 12 deg. W. long.; the second
at 74X deg. N. lat. and 14 deg. W. long.; the
third at 73 deg. 23 min. N. lat., when they ac
tually got up as far as 173 C, deg. W. long. But
even in this last instance, which seemed to pro
mise so well, further progress was eventually
rendered impracticable by an ice field 40 feet
thick. As the reader will perceive, though at
each successive attempt they were driven
further from the north, yet they
continued making way to the west, although,
alas! not far enough. Then, giving it up as a
bad job, atd making for Spitsbergen, they en
tered Hinlopen Strait, sighted Gillisland from
Thumb Point, but by their old enemy, the ice,
were obliged to turn back at Cape Torrell. It
was while sailing north of Spitsbergen that they
made the highest latitude ever attained,
arriving at 81. degrees 5 minutes when at 16
degrees east longitude. The expedition, which
found the sea blocked up even more completely
than is ordinarily the case, is said to have• recti
fied the charts in many points, and made, other
observations, on which a detailed report will be
published. There is a prospect of its being re
peated next year. Malty shipowners am/scientific
men taltlng an earnest in the frigid project, it is
not impossible that voluntary contributions suf-
ficient to cover the moderateexpense incurred
in these 'Getman voyages will be forthcoming
again.
OUR. WHOLE COUNTRY
Threatened Eruption of Mona* vein*
(From the Liverpool Day Courier. Oct. 16.]
If the renewed activity of' Mount Vesuvius
should be foUoWed by an eruption, as the present
appearance of matters would scent to threaten,
the circumstances will indicate a condition of the
volcano differing wholly from anythhig which
has been observed for the past eighteen centuries.
It has happened during the last two hundred
years that the mountain has been in eruption
twice during the course of a few months,. but the
occurrence of three eruptions in the coarse
of a year is altogether unprecedented.
If we trace the history of the moun
tain from the period of the great outbreak of 79
A.'D., we shall recognize, amid a considerable ,
amount of irregularity, a gradual increase in the
rapidity with which the eruptions of the volcano
have followed each other. Nor has the increase
In the number of eruptions • been in any way
attended by a decrease in their intensity. On the
contrary, the eruptions of 1779, 1793 and 1822
have been as violent as any which the moan
lain has given vent to during the whole period
which elapsed since the eruption of 79. The
eruption which took place last winter was also
a'remarkably violent and persistent outburst
Enormous masses of red-hot stone and rock were
hurled forth for days together, and at night the
intensity of the fire which was raging within the
bowels of the disturbed mountain was indicated
by the resplendent whiteness of the vast canopy
of vapor which overhung Vesuvius. Since that
time Vesuvius can hardly be said to have rested.
Last June the mountain was again in active
eruption. Gradually the violence of the disturb
ance increased until the beginning. of July, but the
mountain did not cease to project stones and
cinders until the end of August. Our readers
will doubtless remember that we indicated at that
time the apparent connection between the occur
rence of an earthquake at Gibraltar with the
movements of the disturbed mountain. Since
then other earthquakes have occurred in the
South of Europe, a circumstance which we
cannot but consider confirmatory of the views
we expressed at that time. It will be noticed
that these disturbances have taken place while
the mountain has been comparatively at rest.
Now that the volcano is again in action, and a
violent eruption apparently about to break forth,
we may look for a cessation of earthquakes in
the Mediterranean volcanic district. It is worthy
of note that the earthquake which shook the
British isles on the 13th of August, 1816, seems
to have been associated with the eruption of
Vesuvius, which occurred within a few days of
the same date.
Prince Salm, the friend and adjutant of the late
Emperor Maximilian, who was kept in a Mexi
can prison for some ime after the death of his
master, and has but recently returned to Europe,
is about to publish his adventures. The wish
expressed in the late Emperor's testament, that
he should also divulge the documents bearing
upon Ids acceptance of the crown, he will be un
able to fulfill. Some of these documents are at
Vienna, and in accordance with a promise by the
Anal - tan to the French Emperor, cannot now be
revealed; others, placed by the Empress Char
lotte in the safe-keeping of the Pope, are as un
likely to see the light, while Rome remains on
amicable terms with Paris.
THE CIIII&N INSURRECTION.
The Revolutionary Junta in Cuba have issued
the following
Somme ry of the Progress OR the Hero
Havays, Oct. 23, 1868. Bayamo, Holguin,
attar*, Las Tunas, Yarn, and Jiguani, all in the
Eastern Department., are in insurrection against
the government. The government has sent ibur
battalions of infantry, one squadron of cavalry,
and a field battery to these points. The revolu•
tionists have divided themselves into small bands
with the view to carry on a guerilla war until
their forces arc strong enough to cope with the
Spanish troops with a fair prospect of success.
A considerable band is stationed in the neighbor
hood of Santiago do Cuba, another near
Puerto Principe. The revolutionists have burnt
several plantations, taking the negroes with them
as auxiliaries. In several skirmishes with the
Spanish troops the ereolea, both whites and
blacks, have naught bravely, causing heavy loss
to the Spaniards. The Cubans all over the Island
are enthusiastic, but are in want of arms. sev
eral Cubans have been arrested in Havana on sus
picion; they are confined in Moro Castle. In the
parish of Jesus-Maria, 40 negrods were arrested
last night for having arms in•their possession.
oe-r. 24—at 9A. M.—Trustworthy information
just received states that Aguilera, chief of the
revolutionary band, has with him 4,000 whites
tied 6,000 negroes. The artillery sent from this
city has stuck in the mud. Heavy rains have
tante in the Eastern Department. The revolu

TUE REVOLUTIONARY JUNTA,
In session in the city of Havana, the 24th day of
October, 1868.
Apprehended fluting of the Slaves.
A Havana correspondent of the New York
I,irrald says:
-For the past twenty-four hours Havana has
been the subject of a 'scare,' calculated to satis
fy the most ardent admirer of excitement. In
cendictry documents have been circulated through
the city during the past week addressed to the
slaves and calling upon them 'now or never to
be fiee.' By some means it became rumored
that last night was the time designated for the
rising, and so general was the credence
attached to it that the greatest agitation pre
vailed. The government (doubtless in view of
the restlessness of the public mind, for it Is
barely possible that such a rising was contem
plateo), held the troops in readiness at their re
spective quarters, having ordered all detailed and
detached officers and men to their commands. A
meeting of the officers of the volunteer corps
took place, yesterday afternoon, which added to
and intensified the excitement. Everybody
with sufficient money rushed to the stores to pur
chase pistols, until as evening came on the stock
was exhausted and none could be obtained at any
price. Several inexperienced persons, while
candling their weapons in preparation for the
expected encounter with the dark legions of Af
rica, shot themselves in the fingers or hands and
were hurried off to the hospital, sans
honor, sans glory, sans everything. As
the night wore on expectation was on tip
top, and everywhere was seen evidences of anti
cipated trouble; the piazzas were not lighted. the
moon shone brightly, there would be no music.
At a quarter before eight the band marched out
with the escort as usual. A number of rockets
were seen going up over the city. They indicated
the way to the circus, and stern eyes glanced at
weapons grasped in hands as firm as a constitu
tional trembling would permit.
"At ton it came on to rain, which dampened
expectation somewhat. Muscles began to relax
and confidence in the ability of the authorities
to preserve order increased rapidly. Most of the
braves retired to court 'the balmy' with their
pistols under their bolsters. They were not dis
turbed, and the sun rose on a city drenched with
rain and was greeted with the monotonous, song
of the black 'stevedores as they peacefully raised
the merchandise from the holds of the vessels in
the harbor. In view of the very quiet night Pis;
passed this fright seems ridiculous, yet it is car
taro that the Most serious fears were enter
tamed."' ' ' .

The committee claim to have the latest and
most rellabks Maws from'the 'mannAlen in the
_interior, and that the government -statements in
referencatheietto are all felfie. They say thatthe

that the troops, on landing at Manzanillo were

great agitation and excitement•existed them, and
that the mass of the citizens favored the inaur-,
rection and were only awaiting an opportunity
to join it; that the Governor of Jiguant, a city in
the jurisdiction of thatname, had been captured
by the revolutionists; that the insurrection,
instead of being the work• of a -few robbers,
Is an outbreak of the best people, brought about
by the enormous contributions exacted by the
government and the arbitrary conduct of the au
thorities; that the authorities were power
less to suppress it, and that it would extend until
it involved the whole island. They claim,
moreover, that Lersundi is in correspondence
with the Queen. They say that he received a
telegram from her on the 4th and again on the
14th of October, and that she urged him to hold
the island in allegiance to her if possible, and
chat he is playing a double card with this end in
view.

'the 64 Marto Iron the Situation.
The Havana Diario•of October 23 has the fol
lowing :
" We do not know who, how many or with
what object have undertaken to disseminate
alarming and absurd rumors, bat we do know
that yesterday there was circulated the statement
that the peace of this capital was threatened, and
also was reported, with a thousand details, the
extraordinary measures which the authorities
bad adopted to hinder or repress any disorder.
We have informed ourselves with the greatest
interest concerning whatever relates to this un
easiness, and we know positively that the
authorities have neither received any
notice which could inspire fear, nor
have they, in consequence, adopted those extra
ordinary measures that are referred to on all
sides. Yesterday, as to-day, the authorities and
their subordinates have been watchful to maintain
the public tranquillity, and are continuing the
same. In compliance with their most sacred duty;
but we repeat that they have not entertained any
fears or made use of extraordinary measures.
We say this to tranquillize the public mind, de
siring to add at the same time that all honorable
citizens are resolved, gathering themselves around
the superior authority and uniting themselves
with the public force to put down any
aggression, coming from wherever it
may, or in whatever form. Words
do not darken their minds nor promises seduce
them, and if there is a secret point which incites
to evil, there should be a lawful one which main
tains whatever is good and be the constant de
fender of order. We have said, and we repeat
that this is no time to be silent, and if silence was
yesterday suspicions. to-morrow it may be, a
crime. We were Spaniards a year since and will
continue to be Spaniards. The island of Cuba
will be an integral tart of Spain as it is to-day.
We hope the best for our common country, the
best for the territory which we inhabit, but pre
serving now and always the national integrity,
and being Spaniards, always Spaniards."
