Lost spring Mr. John Brougham produced at the Walout Street Theatre a dramatization of Miss Braddon's novel, "Only a Clod," and Galled it &arts-, or, the Serpents of Society. Last night Mr. F. Meader and Mr. Ta B. McDonough pre sented at the Arch Street Theatre a five-act play constructed from the same material, with the equally vague title, lfe's Got Jloney. The differ ence be een the two is somewhat marked, but r it is ve diffidult toldetiumine the superiority of r either. Perhaps Mr. Brougham's version is some what better in point of intense dramatic effect, but lie's Got Money. contains one or two charac ters which Mr. Brougham does not develop to , their fullest capability. The Arch Streetcompany `also did greater justice to this - piece thane Walnut Street Company of last year did to th t of Mr. Bpllghalp., Mr. bleeder's drama its. many respects "first-rate. ' It .fulfils' in theb sy ? r, sense alfthe requirements of a good play of its kind; for while it contains the necessary quantity of yin • ny. agony. heartrending misery, „reek,, lessness of cash, poor, but honest worth, levees treble mystery, tears, sleds, shattered hopes and blighted affection, the situations are very natural and very dramatic ; the climaxes are skilful,y reached: and the language is grammatical and undefile;i with slang and profanity. The story is a variation of the ancient Braddo nine theme. A poor man; a rich uncle, who conveniently dies in the first act; a loved maiden weeping over the ruin of a rashly speculative papa's fortune; opportune arrival of the recently psor man, who accounts gold but as dross, and who gives papa much currency five minutes be fore the bank closes; marriage of the grateful maiden to the munificent squanderer of internal revenue; entrance of a villain who casts a blight upon sweet domestic felicity; flight of ag onized husband from a wife who has no gentle trust in him; much penitential grief on thepart of his grass widow, and final return of the ful tive, who unravels the plot, clasps his care 6posa to bits throbbing bosom, and enjoys himself gene rally to music in 45 Major as the curtain comes down. The whole company played with admirable skill l -=4vening. Mrs. Drew, of course, did better than any one else could have done; Miss Price acted with more spirit than usual, and was especially good in the earlier scenes. Mr. Barton UM was every inch the hero that the Braddon brain conceived; Mr. Everly, with small oppor tunity, gave one of the finest personation we have had from him this season; Mr. James was excellently villainous; and Mr. Craig—Mr. Craig appeared iu the character of "Sigismund Shakes peare Smith," and won the highest honors. His face and head were made up into an imitation of Shakespeare, that, at first sight, was absolutely startling. It was the best bit of art of this kind that Mr. Craig has ever attempted, and with the memory of his Dickens fresh in our minds, this is awarding it high praise. It is well worth going to see, merely as a surprising likeness of the poet; but Craig's refined, elegant and delightful humor gives to the whole character the - position of the best in the play. Without grimace, gag, contort ion or tomfoolery, this young gentleman con trives to convulse his audience with laughter. He has proved in his own person that comedy of the most exaggerated description need not be de generated into buffoonery. The play is handsomely mounted with new scenery. The mansion in the second act, es pecially, is worthy of mention as a fine piece of stage effect. The drama will be - repeated t6- - night. - -Max Maretzek will inaugurate a season of Italian and German opera at the Academy of Music, on the 80th inst.

Worreaeondenca of the Philadelphia Evening Banditti LoNoon, Oct. 20, 1863.—The talk of the day concerns the crown of Spain. To whom is it to be offerel, and who will accept the brilliant bau ble that 'does not At everybody, and that has proved eo precarious a covering to some of its wearers? The story that circulates in Paris as well nein London Just now is, that through some officious channel a friendly inquiry has been made on the part of the Spanish Provisional Gov ernment as to what choice would be most agree able at the Tuileries. Certainly not Montpen sier, the reply is said to have been, and less, oh! far less, the Prince who dwells at the Petals Roy al—(Prince Napoleon). The wishes of France • thus far are in perfect coincidence with those of Spain. Bat who, then, would be a' welcome candidate? and the answer is said to have been, Charles VI. The question and ans wer were; perhaps, never put and given, but the popular report shows which way the wind blows, and confirms the re-'• cent 'assertion that the Empress does her most to promote the interests of the grandson of Don Caries. On the other hand, the Emperor, it is thought, would prefer Ferdinand of Coburg and Portugal. According to a letter from Madrid, Prim, Serrano and Olozaga are agreed in pre ferring this prince. We know that Olozaga's eyes have been long turned in that direction. And it is certain that France, if consulted, would not object to the choice. Judging from all present appearances no Bourbon has any chance, and it is scarcely possible to believe that the Spaniards will change their minds on that head. According to the Venice Gazette, the Italian Legation at Madrid has received very special in structions from its government, and Is ordered to act with the greatest precaution, so as not to compromise Italy with othex powers with which it is her interest to keep friendly relations. At the same time no country has shown a greater sympathy with the revolution, or a better will towards the new government. Probably Italy does not desire to make France more unfriendly to her than she at present is, by hastily support ing the claims of a candidate unacceptable there. Although the public is not made acquainted with the fluctuations of feeling between the two gov ernments, it is certain that the state of affairi is so unpleasant, at least to Mr. Nigra, that he threatens to resign if he be not sent to London, or as least to some other post than Paris. The reported intention or the Spanish Govern ment to invite their colonies to send representa tives to Constituent Cortes may be acceptable to the people of those Tosseesione in that particu lar instance. But it is thought improbable that they would desire to assume a share in the per manent Parliamentary Government, and to send deputies to the Cortes as if they were provinces forming part of the mother country. Those colonies used to be represented in the Senate, and probably are so still, but•it would hardly suit the Cubans to send Deputies to the Chamber. The, distance is considerable, and; moreover; meat of the principal men of the island on whom the choice of electors would probably fall are busied with their own affairs, and might think it too le rent A sacrifice to neglect their supervision dur ing a long Parliamentary session.,Yon will have learned by this time that the. Madid Junta pro poses to declare tree all children born of slaves . since the I7th erflqst month., It appears freed the latest Madrid papers that Prim is Marshal and Attlee is Duke. There is certainly no reason wily they Would be excluded from the general distribution of promotion and' -honors Mathes occurred. ,It was probably con venient that Prim should be of equal military rank with his brother Dunmvir Serrano. Dalce,ll is said,found the sinews of war for the late revolu-' tion, which sinews did not proceed from Prussia, although some of the Paris papers were as posi tive that they did as if they had themselves seen the money paid. He latelymarrled an enormously rich woman. Count Homachuelos is also created Duke; he has, doubtless, well deserved of his country, and is not over-rewarded by a title which, of late years, has been somewhat lavish in Spain. Probably, if his family name were given, one might recognize in him some familiar acquaintance, well known as a stout fighter and promoter of pronunciamentos. But in these days one ought to have a Spanish Peerage always on one's table If one wishes to make out old friends and new titles. 1 -.....- u.rraguys Tour. The Fiore ce correspondent of the New York Times Wri : " Adm" Farragnt has finished his promenade along the shores of Europe. Before long . his flag-ship will be once more in American waters. Whether considered as half-diplomat or naval commander, the honors paid to our officer, in the circle of visits which have taken up quite a year, are unmatched in the experience of any other Government agent. It has seemed some times as if the Admiral was making a parade of hie honors, and it was but natural that a little jealousy should be awakened in the service. The tact that the chief officer of oar marine was, going about in a flag-ship, unattended by a fleet, gave an unusual character to a peaceful expe dition. But we are glad that so faithful a pub• lic servant has been the object of such distin guished praise, and we have heartily joined in the applause. In him the Sovereigns of Europe have recognizes the. representative of a great Empire, which promises to overshadow half the world, and with which these powers find it con venient to be at peace. ' - "It would gratify many to see that noble old sea-dog,Admiral Wilkes in this part of the world. Except in England, which he came near humilia ting, he would be everywhere received in a man ner worthy of the services which he has rendered to the country. SPANISH AFFAIRS. The Succession to the Throne. . The London Standard, discussing the chances of the Spanish nation in search of a king, ar rives at the conclusion that King Ferdinand is the only resource. But Hobson 's .cholce is not always a bad one, and in King Ferdinand-the Spaniards will probably find the man in Europe test fitted to 1111 their throne. He has experi . ence in the part of a constitutional rnler,and that, too, over a people with much the same virtues and failings as they have. His election would be perfectly satisfactory to all thereat Powers, who would see in it a pledge for the permanence of the new order of things, whilst the difficulty about the succession is one very far from insuperable. The election of King Ferdinand would not mean the Iberian union. He has a second son to whom he could transmit the Crown, or If the Spaniards cannot brook the idea of being ruled by a Portngese, there is no reason why King Ferdinand, who is in the prime of life, should not give them a new dynasty of their own by a second marriage. There remains tlw - qttestion3fwill — KrelhialittztieeeW - tli& -ClOWilli — the - -13plibiards '&or - it - to - him? The Standard believes that he will. Italy and Spain. 11.1toeni , _ , A Florence correspondent writes: "The Italians are jubilant over the success, so far, of the Spanish revolution. They are more confident than ever that the temporal power of the Papacy Is a lost cause. The journals of the Opposition attack with fresh vigor the Imperial system in France, and have more faith than per haps is justified by circumstances, that it is ap proaching its fall. Certain it is, that Europe is no longer ruled by an Imperial apothegm, or moved with admiration by the oracular concise ness of an Imperial speech. Mexico and Sa dowa and Spain have broken the illusion, and neither golden reticence nor silver-tongued talk any longer excite surprise or applause. The star of the man of destiny grows pale as it sinks." Attempt to Assassinate Prim. It was rumored in Paris that an attempt had been made on General Prim's life. It is said that he has been made a marshal. He has published an address advocating a monarchial Government. The rumor that Prussia supplied the funds for the late revolution' has been denied. Thelldea of ra ;41:t CO it Dt•lli it, 14 VWA placing Prince Alfred on the throne of Spain hits been ridiculed by leading English papers. The ex-Spanish Minister at Paris has retired from that city. The embassy is nominally represented by a charge craffairs. Sawnlar Festivities at Pompeii. The Pall Mall Gazette says : "The municipality of Naples has no Idea of being behind either Florence or Turin in welcom ing Prince Humbert and his wife, who are ex pected to take up their abode in the palace songs same time in November. If they carry oat the project they have now under consideration, the chances aro that a larger crowd of sight-seers from all lands will be collected hero than wore attracted by the tournaments of the termer or the present capital of Italy. It is proposed to give a grand feast at Pompoll,which ia to last for twenty-four hours. - Daring that period, Pompeii is to be restored to what is sup posed to have been its condition before it was de stroYed. The shops are to be fitted up as in the days of old, and atiopitiispers are to stand at the stalls in the costumes of the period. The streets, the temples, and the public monunients are all to be decorated as they would have been on festal days in the ancient times. In fact, the present. skeleton of Pompeii is to be revivified, and the last days of Pompeii are to be enacted over again. At mid-day there are to be wrestllngs and races and boxing and Pompeian games, but no gladiators. The victors are to receive their prizea in the Temple of Fortune, and afterwards it is proposed to open the old theatre, when a Greek tragedy, translated into Italian, will be acted. In the eveng the large amphitheatre is to be illuminated with torches, by the light of which dancers are to dance until the daylight appears. Such is the spectacle which the municipality have now under consideration. If it is given, it will not only be magnificent, as tournaments or illuminations may be, but it will have an interest of its own, which will at traat many to witness it who are not ordinary eight-sefre." • Private Letter from Texas. Printed by Permission—the Murder of the Hon. G. W. Smith. JEFFERSON, Texas, Oct. 9.—Perhaps the record of crime from the Surrender presents nothing to compare with the killing of Smith and others here on Sunday night. I shall not go back of Sunday. You'clin read the letter of , which is correct, and-will show you how the - mob were treating Smith. On Sunday, after supper, when I remarked to that, "hell was in the very atmosphere, and that we might look for something terrible," no noisy confusion foretold disorder, no riotous drinking or loud declamations gave cause for fear ; but we concluded to ensconce ourselves where they would not be likely to look for us. At about 9 o clock at night there arose a yell as if every demon of hell were unchained and doubly intoxi cated with anger. They rushed Into.. the Judo sure where the citizens and soldiers, about twelve each. were standing guard around the calaboose ; where Smith was imprisoned, drew their wee pone in the faces ,of the soldiers and demanded their arms, The lieutenant in command sur rendered and they, burst down the jail door'in a minute. The Major in command was on the-spot with his troops, 25 or'3o in number, who were contemptuously laughed at,and told to stand and ground arms, all of which they did, of course, be fore a force of 200 prepared assassins. The. Ma jor went to the jail door, and, trled ' to talk with the mob. Be had made three attempts, when they caught him by the collar,and threw him out, telling him that they"did not wish to harm him or the soldiers, but that he must not interfere." Smith fought. them alone until dead. He was shot 18 times. Three - negroes were shot, two dead. The third they failed to kill—thinking him dead. About 20 visited Judge Caldwell's' house. he was hidden in the bushes and they missed him; 2.5 or 30 visited—for me, but fortunately I had not gone there that night and of course disappointed them. They went to —'s house to ascertain whether I was there the night before. On Monday, —, myself, and being the re maining element of loyalty, were warned by oar rebel friends that it had been determined to "make a clean sweep," and the commanding officer informing us of his inability to afford us any protection beyond a squad to accompany us away—we determined to leave. Judge Caldwell and I called upon the Board of Aldermen 'and Mayor to ask of them an escort of responsible citizens to g o with us in leaving the State— we were going to Shreveport by boat. That request beat them. They know 03 effect politically and commercially that 'it would have upon the city and the merchants,and all becoming alarmed visited us, and urged us to remain, pledging themselves for our ~protection. They premised to patrol the town • and extend every guarantee, at the same time insisting that Judge Caldwell should speak the next day. We stayed, and yet live. Caldwell made a soft speech, but the,circumstances, you know, were precarious. He went away last evening. I shall go as soon as 1 can. So will all. They propose merely to quiet the thing a few days, and then kill every Union man in the place. They have hell in them here as big an two mountains. Not a man of us would have got away but for the precaution of Major Curtis and his judgment. It may be considered premature to take any measures based on the possible defeat .of the army of relief, before the grand pitched battle shall have been lost and won. But it is the part of wisdom for men in our position to take time by the forelock. If the worst does cbme, let it unite us all the closer, and nerve our hearts all the firmer, never to surrender to Radi calism; never to regard as human beings the plunderers in our midst; never to cease our warfare against the system of op pression that has been organized for our material ruin and social degradation. United under one sentiment and swayed by one will, let us keep up the fight with the ballot-box; or by any other means that will min. The robbing and mnrdering Jacobins who have drifted down upon us have been clamoring that their lives were in danger. The signs of the times are that there is a crisis coming when our people will no longer care whether such cry be false or not.—Mobile Tri bune, Oct. 2b.. I happened today to think of an old story which conveys a significant lesson just at this time. 'When Jefferson was first elected to the Presidency, a gentleman, who met ono of his friends on voting day, inquired whether he had been to the polls. 'No." was the reply; " I did think of gding, but I haven't got up Interest enough to take the trouble." "You had better go," rejoined his friend, "for sometimes a single vote decides an election." Stimulated by this remark, he went. It turned out that his one vote decided - Abelelectioycofrßepresentativo - Abe district; and:the one vote of that Representative made Jefferson President. An intimate friend of mine happened to be ab sent from his residence on the day when it was decided whether Everett or Morton should be Governor of Massachusetts. His sympathies were strongly with the party who nominated Mr. Ev erett, and ills first impulse was : to hurry back in seas= to go to the polls; but,calling to mind Mr. Everett's recent servility to the slave power, he could not overcome his repugnance to vote for him. He accordingly remained where ho was,and the lose of that one vote made Morton Gov ernor. Is there any cripple of sound mind who would not rather hobble miles to the polls than incur the remotest risk of helping to elect Seymour and Blair by his neglect to discharge the duty of a citizen? Abraham )(Alveolar and Gen. Grant. A few evenings after the Republican Conven tion had renominated Mr. Lincoln, he was sere naded. After acknowledging the compliment, the President said; "I suppose you have done me this kindness in connection, with the action o the Baltimore Convention whlch tine recently POLITIVA.L.

What we want,still more than Baltimore Conventions or Presidential elections, is success under Gen, Grant.. I propose that you constantly bear In mind that the support you owe to the brave °Mears and soldiers in the field is of the very first Importance, and we should therefore tend all our energies to , that point. Now, without detaining yen any longer, I pro pose that yon help me to close up what I am now saying with three rousing cheers for Gen. Grant and the officers and soldiers under his com mand." An ex-Confederate Democratic Sol- dices advice. Major Torn P. Ochlitre°, publishes in Flake's Galveston Bulletin, a letter from which we make the following extracts. "I can scarcely take up a paper but I find ray humble name designated as 'traitor,' 'renegade;' 'fleserter,"an enemy to his native State,' and such other vile and opprobrious epithets, And why, forsooth? Because I have dared to express the opinion that I did not believe 'the country would go to the d.-1' in the event of the success of Gen. Grant." Of Col. Somers Kinney and Northern Demo , (rats Major Ochiltree says. This gentleman did me the honor, not Ong since, to couple my poor name with that of General Longatreet—that eminent man being in Houston for the purpose of carrying out a great interna tional project that will yet redound immensely to the wealth, greatness,;and prosperity of our State— was stigmatized (of course out of hearing) as a traitor! The man who, like the immortal Ney, fought a hundred battles for his country, and not one against her—the right arm of Lee, the "old war horse," whose iron will and steel-like nerve never slackened from the morning of Stone Bridge un til the 9th of April, 1865, at Appomattox. giving the vigor of his manhood, his fortune and his po sition to his country, his body maimed, scarred and shattered by the wounds of the Wilderness— can he be a traitor ? CoL Somers Kinney is a good representative man of the "Northern De mocracy," who always remind me of a certain engineer whom Gen. Dick Taylor said had "A tropical fertility of promise, • But a Saharic aridity of performance." For I will not forget the promises they made us at Charleston and Baltimore hi 186 L ' We were patted several times on the back there, and told to "go in." Why certainly! They would never let a vandal horde pass over their country to in vade us, oh, no! "Pitch in," said they, "We'll be about," and so they were. They came about like old Theradler, wrangling with the vulture, and our own skulkers, over the dead and wounded bodies of both combatants, or else they came with immense show of loyalty when we about worn out. "With spear and brand and bended bow," and help finish our conquest. Brick Pomeroy would be the first man to raise a regiment (to be commanded by some one else) to thrash us into loyalty, if we were foolish enough to be driven Into war by his ilk." In conclusion he says: "I have spared you the usual disquisition upon anti-bellum political issues, because they are dead—killed by sabre and shot and shell during the late terrible war. That was what we fought tor. If the South had been successful _those principles would have been now dominant —as she was unsuccessful they are buried In company with the slain bodies of a million of men who contended over them. We have to do with the present—grapple with the reality of to day—not visions of the past. The result of the civil war wrought changes that dtherwitie might have required a century. I was as sincerely op posed to those results as auy of you, and , proved It by arraying myself in arms against the power that brought them about. let, divesting Myself , all feelings of prejudice, I see but one way of honorable extrication—a straightforward accept ance of the dentition If Gen. Grant is elected." NEW JERSEY INATTEAH• THE ELECTION.—At seven teelock this morning the polls opened in the different precincts, and some time before that hour most of them were crowded with people anxious to vote. The weather was clear, cool and animating., and poli ticians in the best of spirits, all animated with a common desire to win. Both parties were work ing zealously for the mastery. A heavy vote will be polled, and judging from the com plexion of things the contest will be close. The Republicans, however, have made ample ari ange merits for getting out their voters. The contest will be the most vigorously fought on the local tickets, it being conceded that the electoral ticket for Grant and Colfax will receive a handsome majority. The Democrats are making herculean Mats to save their candidate for Sheriff, Mr. Reve, while Randall E. Morgan, the Repub lican nominee, is pushing things with all equal energy. Small bete have been liberally offered by the Democrats on the result of local tickets, and promptly taken by the Repub licans. Enough of the result will be known by twelve or one o'clock to-morrow morning to tell how the day's battle has gone. In the meantime, however, it is believed that the State will go Re publican on the Presidential ticket by from 1,200 io 1,500 majority, and that we will have a ma jority on joint ballot in the next Legislature. This will give the Republicans a United States Senator in place of Bon. Mr. Frelinghuyeen, whose term expires on the 4th of March next. Boma) of EDUCATION.—Last evening the Board of Education of Camden met in the City Hall,for the purpose of transacting their usual monthly business. The President, Benjamin F. Archer, took the Chair. A quorum being present, the Treasurer, Mr. T. A. Wilson, presented his re port, which showed a balance on hand of t 51,289 56. A motion was made and carried, in structing the Committee on Property to procure and have set out a suitable number of shade trees in the yards and it; front of the various school buildings, on the most advantageous terms. The Committee on Accounts reported several bills which bad been audited, and orders were di rected to be drawn for the amounts. It was as serted that the heaters in the North Ward School had become worn out, and it was ordered to re place them with new Eines. The resignation of Miss Anna B. Sayres, Principal of the Boys' Cen tral Grammar School, was presented, to take effect on the first of December, which was ac cepted. Miss Pfeiffer sent in a communication, asking the situation thus made vacant by the resignation of Miss Sayres. Referred to the Committee on Teachers. THE EFFECT or• CRlME.—During the past term of the Camden county courts twenty individuals were convicted of criminal offences,and sentenced to the penitentiary. Their crimes consisted of the usual grades, from petty larceny to those of a henious character. As they were conveyed to the cars they presented a pitiful spectacle. Their example should serve as a salutary lesson to the evil disposed. JAIL-BREAKER ARRESTED. A man named George Lomond was arrested yesterday by Officer Hawkins, in Camden, who had escaped from the Jail at Pen-Yan, Yates county, Now York. He had been convicted of the larceny of a horse and Vitifirae.:ffitfiliteortialk. He -weer committed await a requisition from the authorities of that State.

COLD.--Last night was decidedly the cbldest of the season. Ice formed a quarter of an inch in thickness on the little pools of water on the open lots near Camden. AI'rI•AL DAY.—The Court of Appeals Will mee on Thursday next, at the Court House in Cam den. —Edward Fraedel says, in his "Reminiscences of 1848," that when the Archduchess Sophia, of Austria, in 1848,tirst told her son Francis Joseph, then a gawky and by no means precocious lad, that he was to ascend the imperial throne,her son was by no means pleased with the prospect, but wept and cried, and downright coercion had to be resorted to in order to obtain his consent. The poor imperial lad was afraid that his valuable life would be in ,danger in case he should become the successor of his wonderfully gifted and. bright Wade, the Emperor Ferdintmd. F. I.
