One or two of the most attractive-lookingr among the brochures which , litter our table aro new ventures, for which we indeed find but little need for charitable indulgence, but which still claim those graces of courtesy and consideration with which one welcomes the, newly-arrived. The comfortable, onug-looking Hearth and Home, maintained by the joint housekeeping ; powers of Mrs,Stowe and Ik. Marvel, is evidently destined to a long prosperity. It is a large, hand some weekly, the first page decorated with a good lively drawing,by Thomas N as t, of little folks and ErissEringle. Mrs. Stowe contributes,from her forth-coming novel, such a racy account of "Thanksgiving at Old Town," that read leg it mysteriously resembles eating gobbler and cranberries. Donald Mitchell, her collabor. attar, makes a pleasant inaugural address, "Oar Heading and our Ropes," and tells how to ar range the "Lay-out of a Suburban Place."

Captain Mayne Reid, secure al ready of the ears of our adventurous youths and of the Desdemonas who "love him for the dan gers be has passed," now commits himself to tell them stories month , by month; in other words, he starts a mcnsnal magazine. Onward is evi dently to be the " organ " of travelers, Crimes, campers-ont, and gentlemen who have misunder standings with the Apaches. The first number has handsome open type on clean white pages, a a few unpretending engravings, and a repertory in which we are treated to a great part of the North and South American continents at once. To the gallant Reid, the spirit-stirrer, we attribute the first story, "The Lost Sis ter," the scene of which lies En South America; General Phil. Kearney, the Murat of the American Army, is the subject of a spirited paper ; The other prose articles are fairly readable. We recommend to the companionable Captain to keep to his speciality of adventure-stories, to sup press the poetry, to exchange his four engravings for a single one of quadruple merit, and in that lighter accoutrement to ride gallantly on. We promise to be always enteetained with his maga zine while it continues the spirit with which it starts.

The Indian War Sr. Louis, Dec.l9.—Letters from General Sher idan, dated at the depot at the North Canadian river, December 3 received at General Sherman's headquarters to-day, give information derived from Black Kettle's sister, by General Sheridan, In substance as follows: The Indians were encamped on the Ist—Black Kettle and other atiefs of the Cheyennes and a small party of Sioux, in all thirty-seven lodges. Eight miles down the Washita were all the Arrapahoes snd seventy addi tional lodges of Cheyennes, and also }Do wse, Apaches and Comanches. While thus en-- (Atoned a war party was sent out, composed of Cheyennes, Klowas and Arrapahoes, who wont north In the direction of Fort Lamed and was still out. Another party,comuosed of Cheyennes and Arrapahoes, had returned, the trail of which led General Custer into Black Kettle's , village. This pasty brought back three scalps, ono 1 of which MB that of the expressman,'killed and horribly mutilated between Forts Dodge and Lamed, just before Sheridan left the former fort. " The mail be was carrying was found in Black Kettle's cam otherA mixed party went out about the time the first of these parties Started. Black Kettle and one sub-chief from each band went to Fort Cobb and brought back the provisions given them at that fort; and while they were gone, or about the time of their return, the last war party re ferreitto was sent out. The women are of the opinidu that they will all sue for peace at Fort Cobb,' ao the result of the battle with Custer. They would have gime to Sheridan's camp had not the opening at Fort Cobb been held out to them..' Gen. Sheridan then says: "I shall start ler Fort Scott as soon as the trains from Fort Dodge arrive. Bad it not been for the misfor tune qf the MIMS regiment getting lost, and a ---heavy - snow-storm-which rendered their horses unfit for duty, we would have closed up the Job . before this time. As it is, I think the fight is .pretty well knocked out of the Cheyennes 11:4 cal D v • 41:4 Thirteen Cheyennes, two Sioax, and ono ArraPa''' hoe' ihiefOrp:e killed..

The reservations laid off for the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes are full of game and the most luxurious grouse.. Black Kettle's sister reports three white women in the lodges below Black Kettle's camp." Another letter from Sheridan's camp says the mules belonging to Clark's train, also photo graphs and other articles taken from the houses robbed on the Saline and Solomon rivers in Kau 'fats; last fall, were found in the Indian camp. The Indian women prisoners say most , of the depre dations along the line of the Arkansas were com mitted by the Cheyennes and Arrapaboes. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. iNFVER FROM hONDON. WinTeimondance of the Phila. Evening Bulletin.] LONDON, Dec. 6,1868.—1 f Mr. Disraeli were to close his political career to-day, it could not be said, and he certainly would not himself think, that he had been an, unsuccessful man. He has attained his highest ambition t 'and how few can boast as much ! No hostile majority to the very end of his life can prevent him from having been Prime Minister of England. He has sent for by his sovereign: 'he has formed an adminis tration; he has witnessed the envy of his friends, and the still more delightful animosity of his foes. he has established confidential relations with royalty; he has snubbed a Lord Chancellor; he has created a Duke and an Archbishop—iffshort, he has concentrated into a few months all that is most exquisite in human greatness, Nor are his more solid political achievementa inconsiderable. It is enough to say that the reform of the 'repro- Ben teflon will always be associated with his name. His rival may deserve the honor but Disraeli has gained it. His two years, and a half of office, and especially his Premiership, which occupied the latest part of his term, are-rich in incidents. There would be nothing strange In an author sit ting dowirto Write a history of the Tory. Ad ministration of 1866, and, producing a very ex cellent book.' Mr. Disraeli must, therefore, live in history, all the, more as the events of his his tory, all the more as the events of his official period bear the strong impress of his own will and genius. This is to a man of his disposition a reward which compensates for the exertions of years. There are men, born great and wealthy, whose only pleasure in politics must be derived from getting and' keeping of power. They find themselves possessed by birth and position of all that a man like Disraeli attains to after the lnbor _ and success of years. They do not want social consideration or party connection, but they enjoy the authority which the actual possession of office gives. On the other hand, a Commoner recommended only by his genius is almost sufficiently rewarded for his toils by the mere attainment of high office. The first congratulations of friends and the first curiosity of the public afford such gratification that they almost exhaust his capacity of future enjoyment. It may often happen that the most ambitions man, who has been climbing upwards with watchful eye and steady foot for half a lifetime, will care little to remain long on the peak when he has attained it; bat, after looking about him a lit le, and thinking how small are the men and objects he left below, he will feel a chill at the cold air of hie lofty solitude, and very cheerfully begin to descend. We should, therefore, not be inclined to con dole with Mr. Disraeli on his short tenure of office, even if we had the warmest sympathy with him and his cause. He has had a great career, he has been bold, brilliant, succtssful, and Jibe were to be absorbed at once into the Peer age, and to be heard of again only as a competi tor at the agricultural shows of Buckinghamshire, be would sill be a man of high mark in the reign of Queen Victoria. But, unless we are very much mistaken, Mr. Disraeli is only about to begin afresh. For the first time in his career, he is in an independent position. Before 1866 he was the spokesman of the Conservatives in the ,House of Commons, but not the leader of the party. It was understood that Lord Derby was supreme, that the allegiance of the Tories was given to him, and that Disraeli was only his lieutenant. By this arrangement did the great Tory people satisfy their principles or their pride, and recon cile themselves to being spoken for by Disraeli. Even with all this, there was every now and then an attempt to displace him, and one respectable Conservative or another would assume a,-confi dent and official tono,indicating that he was now the recognized leader of the Opposition. It has been a mystery to see how they have alt faded and receded one after another into the Tory mass. Mr. Disraeli has looked forth on his op ponents from a background of disappointed ri valry, and many people believed that when Lord Derby withdrew the Tories would rather acquiesce in defeat than give the honor of victory to their new General. Lord Derby has, no doubt, behaved honorably by his lieutenant, and given biro a moral support which has disarmed the jealousy of the party. But with all this, Mr. Disraeli's official position has been a false one. No one known better than himself that a Minister ought to be supported by a majority of the House of Commons. ~.An extra ordinary conjuncture of circumstances or the skill of a consummate tactician may enable a Cabinet to live in the face of outnumbering op ponents; but there is.necessariiy something un dignified in such a position, and something un pleasing in the arts by which it is maintained. From all these drawbacks Mr. Disraeli will now be free. He is the acknowledged leader of his party. and, as that party is in a minority in the Commons, he will sit in his proper place, on the Opposition Bench. He was never before so free to direct the policy of his party; nor even when he was in office was he more likely to influence the action of Parliament. He and his Lord Chancellor are undoubtedly the foremost men among the Conservatives, and if they work to gether—the one in the Commons and the other in the Lords—they may exercise something of the same power which belonged to Sir Robert Peel and Lord Lyndhurst in the Whig days atter the Reform Act. The Conservatives have lost in the present election—the verdict of the country has been against them on the question on which they staked power and rephtation. But they have at least as much as their opponents the ad vantage of unitm and the knowledge that each man will obey a l it legitimate commands. The two parties will thus come face to face, with the vote of almost every man determined beforehand on the chief question of the day, but with a reso lute minority ready to take advantage of any mistake in the general conduct of affairs. The Eastern Question. LONDON, Dec. 19.—Despatches from Constanti nople report that the Turkish commander, Omar Pasha, has been forbidden by his government to invade the Grecian territory unless armed bands of Greeks shall pass the nessellan frontier. PARIS, Dec. 19.—The Moiaiteur to-day has the following details of the Eros% affair : "The Erosis answered Hobart Pasha's signal with a shot, and immediately sought refuge in the harbor of Sc ra, where she was blockaded by vessels of the Turkieh fleet. Hobart Pasha announced his willingness to abandon the blockade on condition that the Erosis should be escorted to Athens by a Grecian frigate, there $0 await the result of judi cial proceedings for the outrage committed." The following despatch has just been received : CONETANTINOPLE Dec. 18.—The Greek am bassador in this city to-day demanded of the guaranteeing powers the protection of Greek subjects in Constantinople. The French envoy, on the Dart of his government, declined to move in the matter. The Sublime Porto demands the banishment of all Greeks from Bulgaria and Belgrade. PARIS, Dec. 19.—1 t is said that the Russian Government has sent a note to the French Gov ernment in relation to the question at issue be tween Turkey and Greece. Telegrams from St. Petersburg say that Russia and the other great powers agree that both the Porto and Greece should delay action for five days in order that negotiations for a settlement of the question may be attempted. A newspaper says the envoys of Turkey and Greece have not left their respective posts at Athens and Constantinople. La Patric says the naval commanders at the Fillet's have been instructed, if they can help it, to avoid a struggle with the Turkish forces, which could at present only weaken the Grecian cause. The same journal says the Athenians aro exultant over the prospective war with Turkey while the deputations from Nanplia, Patras, C orfu and Corinth protest against the policy of the govern ment as ruinous to Greece. The Athenians ex pect a revolt by the Greeks in the Turkish pro vinces of Thoesaly and Macedon.

A,corps has been organized, and is ready to proceed to Greece at short notice. Turkey is tranquil. Paws, Dec.:2o.—The Monsieur says that the Powers who signed the treaty of 1856 still con tinue to urge conciliation on ;Alio Grecian and Turkish government& The - Patric asserts that the Porto will submit to the Great Powers doen menttiry evidence that Greece intended to mate insurrections in the Turkish islands, awl then take possession of them. LONDON, Dec. 20.—The latest_ news from the East is more pacific. The Government at Athens, which has hitherto been swept along by the popu lar eagerness for war with the Turks, is now dis posed to listen' to the protest of the European powers, and this disposition, strengthened by the rapidly-growing sentiment in favor of peace,may avert a,war, it the Sublime Porte will grant time for further negotiations. It is- - understood the Western powers sustain the Sultan's ultimatum to Greece, while Russia, in the interest of the Greeks, will seek to modify its terms. A rumor which prevailed in Paris yesterday, that Russia had sent an unfavorable note to France on the Eastern question, proved to be a canard, in vented to depress the Paris market.' The fore boding allusions to the Eastern , question, Wade by Lord Stanley on November 13, in his speech to his constituents at Lyme Regis, regarded as one of the secondary causes of the crisis in the East. ENGL. &41/. LosnoN, Dec. 19.—The postal contract with the North German "Lloyds" for carrying the British mails has been renewed. Daimon, Dec. 19.—The Times this morning, in commenting on the speech recently delivered by Reverdy Johnson at the Birkbeck Institution, says that the aim of Mr. Johnson's policy is that trifles must not prevent the preservation of peaceful relations between England and America, and the Times hints that the American obstacles to a treaty should therefore be withdrawn. Lorinox, Dec. 19.—John Laird, M. P. for Bir kenhead, publishes to-day a correspondence he had with Reverdy Johnson, showing the origin and eauso.of :the friendship that exists between . - them. Laird himself - made the - first advances to -= :wards friendship in October last, long before the Liverpool banquet. Laird invited Johnson to Birkenhead to see his establishment, and to hear hie - (Laird's) wishes for a lasting peace between England and America. Mr. Johnson, in his re ply, regretted that a lack of time would prevent his acceptance of the invitation, and' added the following words: "Notwithstanoting you sympa thized with my Southern brethren daring , the late war, I shall have much pleasure in making your acquaintance, and to hear your sincere wishes for peace." S PAIN. MADRID, Dec. 19.—The election for members of the Cortes Is proceeding in the incorporated cities. There has been no disorder. A large ma jority of those elected are favorable to the for mation of a monarchical form of government. The government authorizes the statement that a treaty of peace with Chile may be considered an accomplished fact. MADRID, Dee. 19.—1 t has been decided that the Cadiz insurgents are to be tried by a council of war, but that in no case will the extreme penalty of death be inflicted. MADRID, Dec. 20.—A riot broke out at Torro, in the province of Zamora, caused by the ho• ditty of some of the people to the organization of the National Guard. It was quickly sup- pressed by the authorities. The Correspandencia asserts that the Carnets have formed a deep and wide:spread conspiracy for the possession of the . government, and are only awaiting the breaking out of strife between the Liberal parties to develop their designs.

CLOSE sterunDAY's rEciczEromas annalm--The bill requiring* the reassembling Of the Georgia Constitutional Convention with in thirty flays from the - passage, was referred. to the_Committeo on the Judiciary. Mr. Marian offered a it - solution asking the Jn diciarylopommittee to report a MILAN, the reap portionment of , repreSentatives Ire Congress, in accordance with eeetion 2 of the Fourtsonth Amendment. Adopted. Mr. Sprague offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing the Committee on Finance to inquire into the expediency of ollowing,the im portation, free of duty, of firearms 'imported to be again exported after receiving: the American Improvement. Mr. Chandler moved to take up the House bill Bring the ditty on copper, tee. Mr. Whyte hoped it would not belaken up,.be cansti theilArge interest to be affected by it which be In part represented, regarded it as a pieee of class leghlutlon, designed to benefit the few at the expitnse of the many, and desired to have their objections to it presented, •He bad been in __loaned bythe ehainnan of the committee which' had had the bill in charge that it would not come before the Senate until after the recess, and he honed it would not be, taken up._ Mr. Morrill, of Maine, did not think, if passed, the bill would give any real protection to the copper interest. Mr. Chandler was anxious to have the bill taken np, feeling confident that it could be passed with out delay, and said that if it was not acted on at once,, orders would go to Europ' by telegraph for huge quantitieti of _fort iglu_ copper, 'which would come in'at a low — rate of duty, and glut the mar ket.. • Mr. Sherman was in favor of the bill, but op posed to taking it up now, because he, as Chair man of the Finance Committee.had felt warranted in saying that it would not_be acted upon before the holidays,and he did not wish to have anybody miskd to-day. Mr. Ferry read a letter from a gentleman in Connecticut, a former President of the Detroit and Lake Superior Copper Mining Company, say ing that the bill. though pressed ostensibly in the interest of the Lake Superior mining region, was really designed for the benefit of speculators in copper and other mining stocks, and that the effect of it would be to destroy the business of smelting from ore. The letter also asserted the necessity of using foreign carbonates In the smelt ing of native ors. Mr. Howard, in reply, read a letter from a Tennessee copper ameiter,• saying that the bill was an excellent one, and was much needed fdr the protection of the copper interests. Mr. Ferry remarked that the letter he had read referred to the Tennessee establishment as one whore the smelting was done by charcoal. Atter some further discussion, the motion to take up the bill was lost by a vote of 22 yeas to 25 nays. House bill to extend the benefit of the home stead act to the orphan children under twenty one years of ago of deceased soldiers was referred to the Committee on Public Lands.
