There never was any motive of quarrel between us previous to' the night of last week, when; entering n drinking saloon•with a stranger and au Italian friend, Mulligan, half - drunk, and - surrounded by asveral friends, passed some insulting remarks to ward me.. To this I replied, "I bear you, and will Oct you again.” Re then remarked, "I hope, rill' will meet •me as a • gentleman." I an nwered, "tertainly," and walked out. My friend also came out, and having _understood nothing of wind had occurred, "he pot epeeklog the 'English language," was surprised to find himself surround ed byAo whole party; insulted, and 'threatening weapens being drawn on him. I then challenged Oldr.

On Tuesday next the people of Pennsylva nia will be called upon teivote for State and county officers and for meMbeni of the Legis lature. Considerable interest hits been at tracted to this contest by'the fact that, it was in our good Commonwealth'that:the first blew Was struck against the desPollsin of the . Fede ral Government and the first organization set on foot to arrest the deliberate ptirposo of Mr. SIJORANAN and his Cabinet, first to desert and then to destroy the Democratic creed. .A.' ragid iceepttelation of thn . Course of events since this purpose has been foreshadowed at 'Washington, May not bo Inappropriate, in order that the reason that will govern many Democrats in their action at the polls on Tues day next , may be understood and appreciated 'in advance; . Every effort having neenyainly Made by those who regarded adlierenee to principle as beyond all other considerations to Induce the Adminitr fiation to retrace its false step on the Territo rial question, and after their appeals for totem - - tion in a difference with a President who owed his election mainly ,to their exertions, had been answered with insult, the struggle wait adjourned to the State Convention, Which met at Harrisburg, on the Dotard' ofMarch, 1858. A. number of the most intelligent - and Con sistent Democrats of Pennsylvania appeared on the ground, and a powerful minority, repre senting an unmistakeable public sentiment, contended in the Convention that the Demo cratic party might not be placed in the wrong, and that the ballot-box might not be provoked to 'condemn a gross 'departure from plighted faith' and universally-accepted doctrines. The officials of the Federal Government, acting, however, under instructions tom their Was ters* at the Federal capital, bad obtained enth a Control ,of the Convention, that they not only insisted upon the mons extravagant commen dations of Mr. Buenas/sr and his treacheries, but deliberately vokall: down a re-mfderneffient of the Cincinnati platform, Erst as embodied in the resolution's of Mr. Snouts, of West moreland, and Subsequently in those ef Mr. Castions, of Armstrong. The representation of llennsylvania in the Thirty-sixth bongress had to be elected in October of that year, and a Judge of the Su preme Court had to be chosen to fill a va cancy. The Mayor and Councils of Philadel phia were also to be elected hi the Inteeecling May. But with all thtlie Interests at stake, the Convention proceeded in its work of pro. scription ; and the course marked out by the plaeeholders in that body was followed up by the Administration iu removing from office all men who did not promptly accept the poi soned cup tints presented to their lips. The result was the defeat of °Very candidate for Congress who did not denounce the policy of the Administration, (with two exceptions,) and the election of the Opposition candidates for the Supremo Judgeship by an unprece dented majority. Immediately after the election of that year, new steps were taken to continuo the work of ostracism. Again were the dependents of the Federal Government directed to see that no delogato Should he ehoeoh to the State Con vention, Which mot at llarrisburg in March of 1859, who was not ready to advance upon the shameless example of the Convention of March, 1868. In the meanwhile STEPHEN A. DORCILMI had carried his ease before tho people of Illi nois, holding in his hands the regular organi zation of the party, and proving, evorywhure, his consistency and Integrity in the slapped of regular Democratic principles. Ile was, never theless, opposed and traduced by the paid hire lings of Mr. Buen.tuAu and his Cabinet, and hold up as a traitor, only because he would not and could not approve their own ingratitude and treason. This triumph awakened the pro foundest sympathy in the Democratic heart throughout the 'Union, and especially in the great State of Pennsylvania.. nut even this lesson produced no effect upon the President and his Satellites. The State Convention of March, 1859, laid down a programme, such, wo venture to say, as has never be fore been offered to au intelligent and con fiding Democracy. Inflamed by the success of Judge Deuor.as;indlgnant at the defeat of • recreant representatives who bad defied the wishes of their constituents in voting to sus tain the Lecompton policy of the Administra tion, and resolved to punish every independ ent man who refused to dishonor himself by yielding tamely to their mandates, the mana gers of this Convention, nearly all of them ad herents of the Administration, and expectanti at its hands, repeated their heresies of the year before, denounced the Executive of Penn sylvania for his Intrepid action on the Territo ry d question, refused to him the ordinary com pliment always heretofore extended to the De mutate Chief magistrate of Pennsylvania, and closed their tyrannical proceedings by ap pointing at the head of their State Committee an individual who had made himself conspi cuous by Insisting upon the most odious theory In regard to the Territories—that which do. mends that the General Government shall in terpose to protect slavery in those Territories, In defiance of the known will of the people. Two very excellent gentlemen were nomi nated for the only two State offices to be voted for on Tuesday next, whine election would have been morally certain but for the fact that the Administration had resolved upon forcing an endorsement of its own treacheries upon the party through the individual referred to, whose first step was to issue an address, in which he put the seal of his high sanction upon the heresies of the Convention itself, and deliberately called upon the people to vote for the two candidates nominated by that Conven tion, on the express ground that these heresies were right, and that the conduct of the Ad ministration, on the only great question now in issue, was consistent and proper. Neither this action of the Convention, nor that of its domineering representative, was, of course, submitted to. A vast assemblage of the Democracy of Pennsylvania suhse. quently repudiated the doings of the Adminis tration Convention, and solemnly declared their purpose never to support a ticket thus nominated and advocated. What followed is of so recent a date as to be familiar to all. The agents of the Administration, operating with the money of the people, penetrated Into a number of the counties of the State, and re enacted the proceedings which took place in Harrisburg in March, 1859. They denounced Governor P.►axus, and refused the slightest recognition of his eminent abilities and un questioned devotion to the interests of Penn sylvania and to the principles of the Demo cratic party, and made the policy of the General Administration the test of political orthodoxy. In Philadelphia they surpass themselves in this nicked work. By means of mercenaries gathered from the navy yard, post office, cus tom-house, mint, the Federal courts, and the United States Marshal's office,. they have seized upon the organization of the party— have called public meetings, at which recent converts from other parties have gloried in li bels upon well-tried Democrats—have pur chased the mastery of the Executive Commit tee of the party—and have removed from place every Democrat who has not been ready to raise his voice in praise of their despotism. This Executive Committee, headed by an office-holder and controlled by office-holders, organized by refining to admit to his seat a duly-elected Democrat from the Eighth ward, only because ho dared to stand true to Demo cratic doctrines, has audaciously overstepped all precedent by making the policy of the Ad ministration a teat in our local elections, and by declaring that all who disapprove that po licy have gone over to the Opposition party This glance at the past and present condi tion of politics in Pennsylvania explains ILo reason why, at the coming election, hundreds and,thousands of Democrats have resolved to prove their devotion to Democratic principles by withholding their votes from an organiza tion thus prostituted, and from a ticket thus sustained. We trust there is no intelligent and honest Democrat anywhere, reflecting upon the facts as we have presented them, and as they are' known to him, who will he over awed by any consideration in the exercise of his deliberate judgment, and in the .performance of the high duty which his conscience and his principles alike call upon , him to perform. Let the mark upon this ticket be made so plainly that ic all who run may read." Let the rebuke be so emphatically administered that it may be heard to' the extremities of the Union; that the 'Administration may hear it; that Charleston luny hear it; and that it may sound as a les son through ail time to party leaders ready to sacrifice great principles at the command of mon in office. We are told by some of the organs of the Administration that in a late speech of Judge D01:101.0, at Pittsburg, ho wont out of his way to invoke the Democrats of Pennsylvaniaftg standby their organization, and that id Baying this ho-intended to place" upon record his wish that the State ticket nominated by the last Ad ministration State Convention might be voted for by the State-Rights Democracy of Penn sylvania. Judge Deratzs has his own duties to per form, and we have ours. He stands testis the organization, but also with the piney/es of the party in Illinois. Give us the principles and we go for the organization ; but whoa the soul of our party has fled, the party ceases to have any claims upon us, and when a minority, simply strong because they wield Federal power for the moment, aro enabled to make the organization paramount, and the faith of the Democratic party secondary, we should be Wanting lb BOW-respect and be deservinE of n o MiteMpt of all honest men l'i*6 did not resist and rebuke their treachery. When Judge Deuexha paised through Philadelphia after his tritiniPh in Illinois, ho expressly stated that ho sympathised with the revolt against tyranny in which we were then alt *e ake now engaged; and *e, *lad itiVoir the man, can understand that he would do the same thing under similar circumstances. He never IVould have sup ported au Administration ticket in Minis, if nontinatod at the Aaministratlon ticket has heat hominated in Pennsylvania —by the merest slaves of power, and placed upon a platform repudiating the sacred principles to which his whole life has been dedicated. In his letter to Mr. Dunn, of town, stating his position on the Presidential nomination, Judge Dturtikas expressly stated that ho would accept no nomination unlelis the Democratic National CoitVentinh tenognised the principles or which he is the representative. The logical, irresistible, and inevitable conclusion from this declaration is, that no Democfat Nan support a candidate who ides not believe in and avow Deitibiimlie doctrines. Such is the position of the State-Rights Democracy of Pennsylvania, neither more nor But we belieVe ]here is hope in the future. Aka the smoke has cleared from the battle field on Tuesday next, and honest men look each other calmly in the face, the practical question will present itself to them, whether the Administration of the Ptdeial Govern ment shall pfePafe us, in this great State, dutllhee year of disaster, or whether its work of 1858.9 shall be repeated with superadded ty ranny and proscription in 1860 7 We look to Charleston no longer as a Coining collection of men bent simply oh approVing the wrongs Mr. 13tICIIAXASI has heaped upon the Northern Democracy, and resolved upon rushing the *hole party upon the rocks and breakers of an impracticable and an impossible issue. In this spirit we shall prepare for its deliberations and action, in the full cbnildence that it will take no step to perpetuate the misfortunes and reverses which have fallen upon the great Democratic party, by the weakness and wickedness of men in office. More ltboat this Great Eastern. the Xe* York Times, which is doing all that the Herald brags of but fails to perform, has published seveild letters thin tngland relative to the Orkit Pastern,—letters over the sobri quet of tt Tubal Cain," which have given us more information upon the subject than all the longwinded and elaborate reports of the London papers. Tho N. Y. Times says: "Cur correspondent is an American civil en gineer, of thorough edimation, and high pro fessional accomplishment ; and has had a practical experience, as Well as scientific training, in ihd adject of which he writes. We have assigned him to this service because the vast importance of the experiment to the practical science and the commercial interests of this country, as well eh dr Um world, seemed to fdltilie—not the mere graphic nar rative of a literary man, but the careful study and intelligent report of an engineer. Ho will remain with the Great Eastern until she is ready to take her departure, and will then come with her to the United States." The last communication from this special and well-qualitled correspondent, dated Sep tember 16th, and published in the New York Times on Saturday, is full of interest, mote particularly as the writer takes a view of the performances and capabilities of the Great Eastern considerably less rose-tinted than those expressed, with considerable enthusi asm, by the correspondents of the London daily journals. Her steering, he says, Was perfect smalls. Her holding power is excellent "One six and a half ton anchor held the MSC' and half a dozen steamboats against wind and current in the Thames, oc•en after she had swung three times with the tide. The same anchor held her fast in the Noro against a reefing breeze, and again at Portland, without a In the weighing anchor, the great ship is slow. Tubal Cain says : In the river, fifty minutes were occupied in hauling it up, the auxiliary engine provided for that pur pose being in use half the time, to say nothing of three tiers of sailors and passengers at the capstan. At the Nora, nearly two hours elapsed before the anchor came up. The auxiliary gear broke down ; a tooth was out of the wheel. It seems too light to do much good, or else there is not power enough in the friction clutch by which it is applied. It made very little difference with the anchor whether it was in gear or out of gear. The 4. kinking" of the cable was another source clay. I think it will ho found that these heavy cables need more conveniences for their handling than have been employed with light chains." Then as to speed, the quickest time she made was 13 nautical miles an hour, wind and tido being with the vessel. Next day, with a strong head wind and rough' sea, the speed was not more than 7 knots an hour—though the London journals estimated it at 21 miles, or somewhat over 18 knots. Of the screw-engines, wo are told they are "a very solid piece of work—much better built than designed. With 60 feet of vertical space, I have not discovered tho necessity of jamming them Into the bottom of the bold, es pecially since upright engines would have made a much bettor job. As I have before mentioned, the paddle-engines aro the most smoothly-working piece of steam machinery I ever saw, considering their size. If the shafts do not break, (three were made before ono would stand,) no trouble is to be apprehended from them." But the bulk heads, which have been represented as insuring the perfect safety of tho vessel, were really in a very unfit state for going to sea; aud the explosion re vealed the fact that under aertain contingen cies the vessel *night founder, and that she is not as yet by any means fire-proof, but more nearly so than any other vessel. The cause of the explosion is stated to have been—not the turning of a stop-cock, as is represented— but the faulty construction of the heater. The sailing of the Great Eastern from Eng land is now fixed for the 28th October. That is, if she be not required to convey British and French troops to China, where a new war is to be made. It is calculated that she can con vey 10,000 men, faster than any other means of carriage in the world, and it is as likely as not that the British Government will charter her as a war-transport. The California Election. The reported triumph of the Administration in California, after an unexampled contest, need surprise no ono who has looked at the character of the struggle, and has ev.to ordi narily estimated the immense amount of pa tronage wielded by the Federal Government on the shores of the Pacific. The induce ments offered for the support of any Adminis tration to the politicians In that quarter are too tempting to be resisted, and we aro not astonished that the desperate men who have control of the disbursement of millions of the public treasury annually have proved too strong for the people. Tho Republicans voted their own State ticket apart from the State- Rights Democracy, who supported theirs, thus increasing the majority of the Administration Governor and State officers. It is reported that MeKinurn and &mit hale been elected to COngress—the one a State-Rights Demo crat, the other a Republican—which we trust may prove to be a fact, althoitgh we have no good grounds to hope for it. Our friends in California have made a bold, bitter, and tho rough contest, and, although • defeated, may hold up their heads In the consciousness that they have fallen alone in the cause of justice and their country.

MEM The Approach of Winter The 00ASOtt le about commeactriglvlion city life possesses its 6!citeat charm—when its mi. gratory ',oblation aro all becoming thinly Ye= established in the homes they deserted the sumther- - -When it tlohhtlee's Wails of twialt ana mortar at no longer denounced for pre venting the free circulation of air, but &Idol gizea for the protection they afford agathst the blasts of Winter—when a kelaaence in the city is not gntmbitagly submitted to as a matter of nedessity, but gladly embraced by those who make it their permanent homes,. by thousands of their country friends, and by hosts of strangers who throhg the hotels. Philadelphia is pre-eminent among the elite's of the New World er.' 'ill° largo number of cum fortableliotities she 'contains, and lh this respect few of the citiel of the old World excel her. She has not as many gilded palaCes or magnill. cent residences as more pretentlbuS mtiniCl palities, but she hag what is far more favor_ tent, agreeable homes, (held at such low rents that all who are industrious and mode rately successful in business can obtain them t ) for nearly her entire population. With% their walls during any motel , - sea:son there is an!agL gregatd or domestic comfort, social enjoyment, and real happiness vouchsafed to but few other organized communities upon tho thee of the globe. The large and commodiotis tie* betel at the corner of Ninth skid ‘Cheistnitt streets, Whicti is one of the fined buildings in the country, 13 now rapidly advancing to completion, and it will largely increase the accommodations of our city for travellers and transient visitors before the winter is over. Meanwhile our present excellent hotels aro kept in a manner that fully sustains their deserved reputation. One of the great secrets of the commercial success of New York is unquestionably thb pains studiously taken there to present Miran. tiona to strangers, and if more attention were paid to this matter in Philadelphia, we believe her citizens would be amply compensated for their trouble. Our prominent places of public amusement are now under excellent manage= ment, but if the experience of other citied attbrds any criterion, thei4 number might be advantageously increased, and additional vigor and variety infused into the whole business of catering to the theatrical and operatic tasie3 of the public during every winter season. Philadelphia, once the capital of the nation) and the metropolis of the country, possesses many solid qualities calculated to secure for her perininently the latter position, if her citizens are ambitions to acquire it. Though the seat of the National Government Las been removed to Washington, and the tide of fo reign commerce now ebbs and flows through the port of Now York, the present and pros- pectivc prosperity of Philadelphia is founded upon a solid and enduring basis. Her manufacturing supremacy is thoroughly established. Her geographical position is a peCuliarly advantageous ono, for it ren ders her the natural central distributing point for the immense internal trade of a large portion of the entire country. She is abun dantly endowed with all the elements of learn ing, refinement, and wealth. Her medical schools possess a world-wide reputation and thousands of young aspirants for Esculapian honors flock hither every winter to attend them. lcd city in the world is more healthy, and no city more attractive and delightful as a place of residence, for the real comforts and pleasures of lifo are placed, at a moderate cost, within the reach of all. During the winter, therefore, when city lifo is regarded as a necessity by a largo portion of the population of our country, the great centre of attraction should be Philadelphia. By many—indeed by all who have learned to appreciate its advantages—it is now so con sidered. But If the number of capacious modern hotels, and the presentation of attrac tive popular amusements increases, there will be an additional tide of wealth poured through the business channels of our city every winter, from the liberal purses of wealthy strangers. From time to time, we have noticed the trium phant sucoosa—in fact, ono 'continued ovation— which those gifted and accomplished young Phila delphians, the sisters Inez and Fannie Natal!, have experienced during their long grime from this city, on professional engagements in South America and other places, their latest triumph be ing in Cuba, where the pttritp and freshness of their voices, as well as their etiellent execution, awakened an enthusiasm which is inadequately ex pressed by the word furore. These young ladies returned a few Or eeks ego, and having heard them at a private outlook, we are enabled to say that they fully deserve all the success they hare obtain ed, and all the more substantial advantages which they have realized. We have heard them sing in English, Italian, German, French, and Spanish. They have been carefully educated, and ere perfect mistresses of these various languages. In this acoomplishmetit, as in some others, they remind us of that Oueen Of Bong, the gifted world's favorite. Afalibran. During an absence of eighteen months, in which Signor Rocco's valuable assistance, as a vocalist of acknowledged standing, wee oonstantly supplied, they developed not only great vocal powers, but more considerable dramatic ability and intelligence than are usually in combination on the lyrical stage. For one prima donna who can'really act, there aro ninety-and-nine who are more alias upon the stage. The Natali, on the contrary, have un doubted dramatic ability—probably resulting from the feet that they have brain as well as voice. At Venezuela these Prime Donne excited a regu lar wry of admiration. The journalists there ex panded upon the rendition of Norma by Inez Na tal!, and of Adelgisa by Fannie. Equally eulo gistic was the notice of their performance in "The Trodden," Luorezia Borgia," " Ernani," " Ri goletto," "Nabueo," "Ii Puritani," Travinta," "Lucia di Lammermoor," "La Favorite," and other operas. From Caracas they went to the Inland of St. Thomas, where they intended giving one concert and were compelled to give three. After this, they proceeded to Porto Rico, still accompanied by Signor Rocco, where they bad a series of operatic performances in the principal theatre of San Juan, the capital. Here, too, their success woo very de cided. In the other cities of the Island, their re ception was no lose satisfactory, and on their return to San Juan, the theatre—almost deserted on the nights when the Spanish drama wee played—was constantly crowded when the Natali reappeared. Fannie Natalie Azucena in "The Trovatore" was hailed as a wonderful triumph of acting and sing ing. They appeared in other Italian operas, but their greatest SUMAS woo when they sang in Span ish opera—Spanish being the language of the audience. From Porto'llieo homeward—taking Cuba en route, and singing at St. Jago and at Havana, at the latter place achieving their great triumph, for the audience, who have the reputation of being fastidiously difficult to please, at once took the fair Natali to thoir hearts. Their voices, soprano and contralto, aro wonder- fully harmonious, passionate, purn, and expreesive. They Bing duets with a peculiar oneness of tone, whioh is as surprising as delightful. Their great charm Is, that they really seem as if they were ut tering thoughts in melody, and it is delightful to hear the harmonica of these pure, fresh, and young voices. lire long, we hope, they will be beard in the Academy of Music, in this, their own, city, where they will be well received and fairly judged. We have no fear of the result. The receipts in the different theatres last night, must have been greeter than on any night within the last two yeara—at least. We limit the time, as a scrupulous critic, within our own certain know ledge. Walnut-street Theatre was " as full as full could be"—owing to the combined attractions of Miss Maggie Mitchell's performances, and the attend ance of the Lynn Fire Association and the United States Engine Company, their hosts and ewes. At the Arch, Collins performed in a couple of Irish pieces, with all the spirit and juvenility of five-and-twenty, (we believe he is two or three years older,) and sang " Widow Medulla" as only John Collins oan sing It now.

A Day of Prayer. At 9 o'clock yesterday morning, in aceordsue.e with previous announcement. n very large congregation as sembled at the Church of the Epiphany, Fifteenth and Chestnut streets—ft large proportion of whom were minister,. of the Gospel—for the purpose of coating in prayer for a greater rniry of Spirit among Christians. The Beacon for swollen occasion was rendered exceed ingly opportune from the fact that there are at this time nearly a thousand olergymen in the city to attend the animal meeting Cl the American Board of Commis. sionere for Foreign Sftutons, to be held at the church on Washington Square during the present week. The meeting at the Epiphany Church continued until 111 i o'clock, when it adjourned, a large number of those present proceeding at once to the noon-day prayer meeting at Jayr.e's Hall. The great meeting of the day, however, was that which w nis announced to take place at four o'clock in the afternoon. at Jet tie's Hall. This was an extraordi nary gathering. reminding those who attended It of the overflowing meetings which daily assembled in that edi flee in the spring of mg. The house was literally crowd ed in everylpert, including the galleries, and hundreds were compelled to remain standing throughout the en tire service.. The chair on this occasion was occupted by Rev. rr. Vaughn of the Episcopal Church, who read several passages of Scripture peculiarly appropriate to the special object of the meeting, after which the devo tional part of the exercises were opened with a fervent ewer by the Rev. Mr. Jenkins, of the Presbyterian Church. The prayer was fittingly concluded with the matchless form of Christian supplication FlBBB 1.1. hie disciples by our Lord himself, in which the hundreds of ministers of different names who were on the platform united audibly. A emit addreu was next made by the chairman. who was one of the moat aged clergymen present, in which was breathed a broad, liberal union spirit. and to many of the stirring truths which fell from the venerable man's lips the hearty assent of those who heard them was manifeeted by a dietinct "Amen!" He wee of the opinion, however, that the time for wiping away ere oleturoitioal distinctions had not yet come, though he wished it to be understood that in hts judgment es ery one wr o was a " new creature in Christ Jesus" was a member of Ilia Church, whatever might be his name. After another hymn the meeting was addressed by the Rev. John Chambers. To his mind. this Wall a day of days. After whet they had witnessed there. and In the fonrer port of the day, it seemed to him that the Maa ter'a prediction respecting. the oneness of His Church was about being fulfilled. It was something tangible for the world to look upon no a practical remit of Chneti allitY. "]e ministers of the ascended One," said hy. " this is a spectacle to fill Heaven with shouts ajar r" We net er heard this eloquent divine more earnest and impressive than in the few moments he occupied on this occasion. Ile wan followed by the Rev. Mr. Loun.- bury of the Episcopal Church. This gentleman took ground that the scene they were then witneseing was not properly a subject of exultation. Christianity in the heart was a work of the Holy Shout. and whoever pos sessed it, not only loved Christ, but Christ's principles, and, consequen , ly, he loved hie fellow-Christians. Love and unity was, then, nothing more than a natural mem festation of Christianity in the heart, and as such should not elicit any feeling of exultation. The Rev. George Duffield, of the N. S. Presbyterian Church, followed in a very Bole= and impressive prayer. Rev. Dr. Nem, of the 0. S. Presbyterian Church. next followed with a very ingenious illustration of the practical advantages of ministers meeting together to compare their religious views, in which they were com pared to a company of musicians who should attempt to lane their instruments at home, instead of together at the place where they were to perform. In the latter case all would be ,made to harmonize; in the former all would be discord. So he was afraid that they, as ministers, were too much in the habit of tuning their ecclesiastical instruments in their studies alone, in stead of mingling with each other In the Spirit of bro therly- love. Ile made a capttsl speech. Prayer was next offered by the Rev. James Pratt, of the Episcopal Church. The next speaker was a New York merchant, whose name we did not learn. Ile was deeply in earliest in Ins eulogy of the union movement he was witnessing', and looked forwaid with pleasure to the hour when he could state to Its brethren m the Fulton-street meeting, New York, and at the Cooper Institute, what he had here neon and felt. A 11)11111 tons next sung by the conreeration, standing. At Cm request of the chairman, the Rev. Dr. Thomas 11. Stockton, of the Church of the New Testament, rose and iiffhred n prayer, characteristically eloquent, in special behalf of the objects for which the great Alia sionnry Board is to assemble :n our city to-day. The Rev. Dr. Cooper, mire of the Episcopal Church. neat made a very earnest appeal to the mass of people before Idni. Unlese. said he, those exercises were found to have a proper effect on the hearts of all present, the object of them would be but poorly eubserved. He was of the opinion that we did not want any more thorough Privily( teriamin, or more intensified Episcopacy, or more Methodism: no, lint more of the spirit of Christ, and this he hoped would he made the prayer of all. It was here announced by Rev. 3lr. Jenkins that a Union Missionary Copcert of Prayer would be held the Sarno evening, at the church on Washington Square. The Rev. Dr. Brain rd, N. P. Presbyterian, wished to record an opinion before separating.. He regarded this whole movement as providential. and expressed several forcible view, with regard to making the efforts more practical. In ninny respects this great union nicotine was, per- II fps, unprecedented in the annals of church history - . A feature which we could not but remark wail the large proportion of clerzymen of tho Episcopal Church, who entered with all their heart into this union spirit for a closer bond between ministers of tho Gospel, of all even :ellen I denominations.

J.. the Jersey Farmers present directed the attention of Mr. Willis to a huge green stump. fire feet is diameter, which seemed about as immovable as the cock of Gibraltar. The spectators tboutht the stump would be the master of Mr. Willis; but that gentlewan knew perfectly well the power of his combination of levers. and has:lna fixed his shears and adjusted his chains, the word was given for the two horses to go; and in less time than it has taken to describe it. the ...strum stump. with scores (+icon loads of clay chug mg to its ro was hauled out and laid upon. the sur face of the esrth.

" I witnessed two trials of Willis' Patent Stump Ex tractor in this vicinity. mode in the presetioe of many intelligent farmers and others. Several large stamps were Lifted. and a tree, ever three feet in diameter, pulled out by the roots with great ease. Some of the operations were timed by gentlemen present, end stumps from two to fa, feet an diameter were raised in two and a half to six minutea.varying in time according to their size and age. In one instance. a green stump. which, (rein its dimensions, seemed in the minds of many spectator to challenge the power of the instru ment, was lifted entirely out of its place and turned orer on tho surface of tho ground in six minutes. A very general expression of satisfaction followed there opera tions. The machine certainly has great power, is sim ple in its construction, and is worked with facility. That it is adaptable to other purposes than stamp pulling is obvious, but, to the farmer alone. for clearing his land of trees, stumps and rocks.
