At ten o'clock tin - Monday night, as soon as
the Epoca and Correspondencia, which are.
°Veiling papers, came out„there was a rush to
buy them to see if'they contained, any freshnewe. The latter was silent, but' the Epoce
had an article more startling than the one just
quoted, and which has set , all Madrid in an

4th inst. at the Langham Hotel, at which
were present • Hon. W. Douglas,of-Philadel
phia ;' Dr. B. Ford and Charle.G.'HoWard, of
Boston ; Colonel Berton, H. Do Paid, Captain
Hal pin, 3. Seaton and A. Lewis,of New k ork ;
P. Dwyer and W. Kaufman, of Chicago ; F.
Blanchard, of New Orleans, and A. Mouquin,
of San Francisco. Colonel Berton was elected
Chairman, and H. De Paul and Captain Hal
pin Secretaries. The following resolutions
were unanimously adopted :'
Whereas, All 'free nations, and above all
America, are most interested in the success of
the peaceful transformation now, going on in
France 'from a personal to a more ,popular'
form of government ;
Whereas, Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, as the
First Prince of the Imperial blood of l'rance,
and. as theArst citizen of his country, has,
notwithstanding, the difficulties of his most
exalted and 'delicate position, nobly and fear
lessly defended; in his late nanly and eloquent
speech before the French Senate, the cause of
freedom,' and claimed for the French people
the full resteration,of their rights as citizens;
Whereas, Such a courageous act, Under the
present circumstances; is well worthy of the
Prince, who, during his visit to America in
1861; shortly, after the bombardment of Fort
Sumter, and in the beginning of our civil war,
Iran {ly expressed his iiyinpathy for the cause
of the North , by anticipating' the triumph' of
the flag which carried in ita olds the abolition
of slavery and the restoration of the most de
mocratic and best Government in the world;
who later strongly opposed, the unfortunate -
French'intervention Mexico, and who has
since remained the faithful' of alian
unity and.the courageouschiunplenefpeOples'
unities; be it, therefore.
States of Resolved That 'we, citizens Of the United
States of A merica, and in, the name of mil: fel
low.
itizens, de, hereby ectfully
n - our most heartfelt — CongrAtii; ,-
lations, for his latn.manly speech before the
French Senate, especially for that passage, in
it which refers to the :superior radtritages of
the ..democratic-form governm the
United Strifes. .
• Reso/ved, - I'hat we, on this occasion, and

- "News •of great: gravity," says the Epocu,
"have arrived to' afflict 'our hearts as Span;
lards. It •is said that 'the representative of
the r.,• Ignited ' Slates,• General' ''Sickles;
. .whose
ivesence hos been of gloomy omen for the interests
of our country, has handed, in compliance
with the orders of his Government; a note to
*uni t in Whichhe announces that the State of
oPinion.in the North American":' . .üblic Will
probably obligelt to recognize the - rebels of
Cuba es belligerents!, Something more the
despatch nays, of which We ought not to make
mention; for it does not come to us with the
same certainty as the foregoing statement.
The Ministers who 'have remained'in Madrid
have' not come to any decision. upon
the matter that we can hear of; and have con
fined themselves tO giving information of the
despatch to Sefiors Prim.and Silvela and to
our representatives abrod. When 'we wrote
yesterday, under a most painful impression,
bur hearts told' us that we might anticipate
even greater evils. Cuba in danger! To this
;cry we ought not to answer with dismay; but
with the spirited enthusiasm of better 'times.
Cubainilanger! To save this bealittful por
tion of the Spanish possessions, the whole of
'our army ought to be at once transferred to
those shores, and'thus present a magnanimous
exhibition of the energy and vitality of our
country-. • If there be Carlists. if there be
Republicans, if there lie Ttaiiellines, ,if
there be. any other party who cherish
the idea of combatting the present situation in
Spain by force, maledictions will descend upon
their heads if, at the moment it is indispensable
to unite all our eflOrts, theydo not forget their_
hatreds and.grievances,,to leave the GoVern
inent the ability- to save Cuba., The revolution
has conceded the right of public meeting.
What- niOrefitting occasion could be found to
exercise it than the present moment, when it
is necessary to demonstrate to that great Ite
public, where public opinion is everything,
that Spain has but one will when . the salva
tion' of the integritf of her territoro con.
cerneu.oo tuft' of ail pAtti ti meet, in
every city, evar town, every village. The -
loss of Cuba will be the dishonor of the revo
lution. In thesalvation of Cuba all our politi
cal particli are equally interested." •
When the foregoing article -got circulated
yesterday morning 'the popular excitement
was more intense than I can describe,.7and it
still continues. at fever-heat. Prim 'still at
Vichy, and Bois Seiler Silvela, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs; and I Suppose they Will-conic
back post haste. Next.week 4,0011 troops are
to take their departure for Cuba, and the 'week
after 4,ooomore.
I have reason to belieVe General Sickh's
communication.' to the Spanish governtrieut is
by means an . abrupt threat to grant bel
ligerent rights to the Cubans, but, is a well
timed and energetic protest, not, only in the
name of the United S't.ates, but also in the
name of common htimaiiity-, agalthst the man
ner in which the war is being conducted in
the island ; and against the atrocities, the bar
barities and unjust acts of violence with
which the Amencan accounts from there have
teemed for so long a .period. It is accompa
nied by a gentle• hint that if Spain 'can
not conduct this war in a manner more con
formable to the images of civilized nations, the
- United - States - Government, iu its ow ii name
and that of common humanity, may find it
incumbent upon it to recognize the Cubans as.
belligerents. Our Minister offers other re
commendations which it • would be well for
Spain to listen , to, but to which she will, of
course, turn a deaf ear. Thus matters stand
at present. TIM papers call on the Govern
ment to publish the despatch of Gen,Sickles,
but they refuse. The Cortes meet on the Ist
of October, so it will not be long before the
Iyhole of the Governinent policy in. regard to
Cuba will be laid bare and thoroughly ex

The rope's Health—Reforms Meditated
--General Nests.
- A Boman correspondent *rites under date'
,of September Ist as follows:
The day before yesterday_the'. Pope walked
about in the, liapetta. He, is in excellent
health, and looks extremely well. The Holy
Father. has given, audience to the Marquis del
Vasto. Prince of Pescaro; who came from
Naples with a cast in wax of the 'face of
,Christina of Sayoy,.•mother of Francis 11.,
which`he presented to 'bin Holiness. ,Queen
Christina is to be beatified.

Signor Pacelli, son of the Direr-Genera)
f' • Mir' -
of
,the Isltry of the Interior, him been sent
by the Pope to Jerusalem to embellish the
_Holy Sepulchre , and its new cupola. The Holy.
Father, has engaged two other artists to paint
two tableaux,,which aretto be fitted in the in
closnrefor the pitmen 'in St. Peter's. One
tableau is. to represent St... Peter in an all ego
rical group, and the other St. Paul.
• Some weektio I informed you that' the
Vatican was meditating some .reforms in the.
,administration hi imitation of the Emperoy
Napoleon', and the Independance Beige now
speaks of this ;project as one of real signifi
cance. In poiat of fact, the change - will con
sist simply of . the admission of a few - laymen
to administrative offices. The Hilly See has
decided to have nothing to do with the politi
cal tendencies of the age, and there would -- be
little advantage in the Council's adoption of
the Syllabus if the Pope - was obliged, at.the'
same moment, to declare himself a reformer.
Another obstacle to concessions is the. rivalry,
which exists between those - old confederates
Cardinals Antorielli and Berardi. '.Cardinal .
Berardi's growing influence with. the Pope
has excited the jealousy of Cardinal Autonelli,
who opposes everything he brings forward
and the small liberalism of the %ratican, of.
liditeh Cardinal Berardi is the source, is thus
always nipped hi the bud.
Numerous foreign recruits are arriving
,for
the Pontifical army. Peasants ' from the -
Abruzzi are being -enrelled on the Neapolitan
frontier, and the - foreign committees are urged .
to renewed exertions. The Pontifical oilmen";
are constantly practicingwith the _Remington
rifle, as many-of the 'shots never touch the,
targ,et.
Recruits are being enrolled here for the
Khedive of Egypt. Each soldier receives
twenty-five sous a day, and a bounty of 200
francslor a service of three years. It ,un
certain whether the force is • to form aolice
for Alexandria and Suez, or a' foreign le p gion.
in the-Egyptian army. --Many - youngltemans -
have enlisted, and the Pontifical Government
offers no opposition to their enrolment. :.
A feW days ago the priest of the Church of
St. CC l4 e., 'MAT Th 6 Midge of St. Angelo, while

- (Madrid Correspondence Paris Constitutionnetil
The nearer the - period - of reopening the Con-.
stitnent,'Cortes ',approaches; October -Ist being
thought the proper time, the more the dif
ferent parties discuss the monarchical ques
tion. At present, one thing which incon
testible is the indefatigable attacks of the
Duke de 3lmitpensier's partisans on behalf
of their candidate, or at least in faVor
of " ' ombination • which would
afford him'' more -or less satisfaction.
Amongst the various candidatures, that which
appears to attract the greatest attention is that
..rof Prince Thomas Albert Victor, Duke of Ge
noa. and son of the former Duke, and nephew
of Victor Emmanuel. This young prince,
who is fourteen years and a half old, is being
educated in England, and, according to report,
._is_happily_endo_weri both in a ph_ysical_and_.
moral sense. In order to attach the 3.lonipen-
Hier class to this project, and which.: rumor..
affirms to be Supported by 31. Olozaga, the
idea is to unite the Duke ot Genoa to the third
daughter of the Duke de Montpensier,Prin
ce_.;. Maria, sixteen years and a- haf old.
This persistence of introducing the French
family in these differe,nt combina
tions Oyes you an estimate ot the
Activity displayed by its friends and the inde
fatigable ardor of their. ambition. 'The sup
ptirters.Of the Dike de 31ontuensier, in order
to invest his pretensions with greater popular
ity; as a belief exists that they are not favorar.
bly regarded by the Imperial Goverinitent of
France, do not recoil from the grossest false
hoods. Thus, some - days since, telegraphic
despatches'were sent from Madrid into the
provinces, announcing . the intention of the
Emperor Napoleon to interfere by armed force
in Spain in favor of restoring the Bourbon dy
nasty. However absurd this report, it assumed
such consistency that the Government of Se
ville believed itself called. on to glye it an (Ali-.
civil denial. • •
The Evangelical Alliance-Dr. Schaff-.
German Delegates.
[From an Occasional Correspondent.]
STUTTGART, Sept.4.,-A religious meeting of
considerable interest to the Anterican public
took place in this city yesterday, at which the
proposed General Conference of. the Evan
gelical Alliance which is to be held in 'New
York in September of next year, received the
most cordial recognition from one of the leading
ecclesiastical organizations of Germany. Our
excellent townsman, the Rev. Dr. Schaff,4ad
dressed the meeting in 'an eloquent speech,
which excited universal interest and admira
tion. It is expected that the .Evangelical
Christians of Germany will be largely repre
ignited iu the Conference. Dr. Schafrpre
seined an urgent invitation to the German
friends of the Alliance, in the name of
the American churches, to take part in .
the Conference, and awakened. a strong
desire in twiny of them to undertake the
voyage: He dwelt frankly on the difficulties
of the enterprise, as well as on the advanta,ges
that would accrue to the cause of religion by
'such a reunion of the representatives of the
':Old World and the New. 'lt is estimated that
about 200 delegates will be present from the dif

Inquirer of the date of July 22,
bore the sembLance.of tcuth, and perhaps COn
veyed the honest belief of the writer, yet was.
so deficient in point:of fact that: we deem it a.
'duty in the cantle of truth and right to makb a
counter statement. / -
.
The writer avers that a , "State law exists,
and' its previsions are strictly' carried out at.
the Penitentiary, that when once a prisoner
enters 'a cell there, he or she IS'considered,
during the term of imprisonment, 'to be
thoroughly and completely isolated from' the
outer world. The criminal, as far ,
as assOcia-'
. s' _fellow_man is concerned -ifs-11
rally buried alive. '`.lle loses' all identity; his
name is never mentioned; the face of his
keeper is not seen by bim even whenreceiving,
his food ; and his only contact with his , kind is
when short periodical visits' are made by his
immediate relations. The crinainais are only
known by the, numbers' of their cells, and even '
though incarcerated for a lifetime,their names,
either Chiistian','or surname; are never men
tioned, and generally are even unknown f6llu - T
•prison officials," Bte., , &m. •
,Now, .what are the plain facts of the case ;
not hemsay reports, • or gratuitous assertion„
but evidence furnished by constant and unin
' terrupted intercourse with prisons and prison
ers (as au official visitor), during, a period of
twenty-live - years? The prisoners are sepa
rated, as much as possible, one'from the other,
'and from the curious gaze of the pane, who,
by tickets of permission •from • the Inspectors,
daily visit the Penitentiary, and are constantly
shown through the establishment,, and the
system and discipline explained,, but the fa,ces
of the prisoners, their names' and crimes, are
concealed from view.
Each overseer;delie is called at
the, Penitentiary) has under hill charge thirty
or forty' prisoners, each of whom he sees face
to, face at least four, tinies in every day. Ms
, first call is in the early morning, :when he un-,
, locks the cell, sees that the prisoner there
alive and well, And:invariably bids 'good
morning. At each meal-time he • sees the
prisoner ' , receives from him his pan or , plate,
and hands him his food. During the morning
:he enters his cell for the purpose of receiving
his finished work,,or give him instruction
the manner of accomplishing it. TheSe inter
views are, often of a duration of ten . or fifteen
minutes, and are.generally of the most genial
and pleakant character.
The 'Warden - ritid Inspectors see and, con
'verse with thein i frequently. • The Chaplain,or
moral instructor,: devotes nearly all his time of
Six days. in the week to visiting the inisoners
and couyersing••with them- in a kind and
friendly manner, and on the Sabbath (aided by
other, ChriStian friends) has religious services
in every block or corridor of the Penitentiary.
The selfoolniaster devbteS all of his time in inf.%
parting a knowledge of the useful branches of
reading, writing and arithmetic, and spends
about ten Minutes at a time with any of. those
who,may. need his serviCee. The Visiting Com
mittee of the Philadelphia • Prison Sodiety
uuliilJ thirty members, who, with an earnest
desire to improve the moral . condition Qf .the ,
prisoner, and lead': him inte,the path'. of recti
tude, 'spend:Much time in this • beneV;olent
Work; go in:and sit down with their poor, err,.
ing brother, and, by pointing 'put to him the;
means of grace, endeavor to remove the film
from , his eyes', and enable him tosee•the
lining which sldrts every cloud:
The record of said Committee shows that
during the present year the, members haver'
made two thousand five hundred and ninety- •
five (2,595) visits to prisoners in their cells,anct
have had two thousand six hundred and thirty
four (2,04) interviews with themat their' cell
doors,Making an . adgregate of interviews
whic prisoners have had with members of
thiS Committee, five thousand two hundred
and twenty-nine (5,) and yet the writer in
the Inquirer says: "he priSoners are literally,
buried alive." It is asserted that "the pris
onerloses his identitY, and, that his name is,
never mentioned, and that he is only knOwn
by the number of his cell;"-this is partially_
— eorreet: - It - itithe object •of the discipline of
the penitentiary to keep from the dis
charged convict the stamp of. public
pi - nu:lntent; hence, it would be manifestly im
proper to post
. his name or the record of, his
crime over the cell he occupies. • The number
which is given him at the time of his reception.
is placed there instead, and while the overseer
knows the name as well as number of every
one under his care, the curious public are igno
rant both of the names or character of the in-
mates. Reformations in the PenitentiarY are
not of rare occurrence, but the discharged re
pentant convict would_find hisaccess .to_ _the
means of an honest livelihood almost impossi
ble if be wasmet by the invidious sneer, or the -
heartless taunt, "I saw.you, or saw your name
in the Penitentiary." • . ,
The penallaw ofl'ennsylvania contemplates;
first, the protection of society; secondly, the
reformation of the Offender. • Yience th(kpeni
tentiary is lo be' regarded, not merely as a
house of detention, but a school of reform,and
to these ends the earnest efforts, of all ...con-
nected with its administration are directed:
Perhaps the foregoing statement of facts will
be sufheient to disabuse the public mind of
any erroneous views inculcated by the article
which appeared in the Inquirer, and thus truth.
and justice will be vindicated. A. B.
