Tan Ivematt Omuta—Last litonv.—Rossinl i s

attracted by far the best house; of the Season.

did she personify it. She gave the'" Una 'Pose"
with charming ertspness and purity of intonation,:
whilst her interpret atleit of the eabaletti; Isaiah is
exigoant in vocal agility, lett nothing to be desired.
In the fatuous letter duet, again etc sang and
noted her part with refreshing naivete, realizing
the idea of Rossini; for at such an Ago Was:the
Stin'utelithella anxious for ',a young and handsome
hush'sain plaeoet the antiquated Bartoto, who
was desirous of thrusting 'himself upon his young

the late Madame lilortsg by Carl Eckert, and in
which she created so greats furore throughout the
United States: ' ThiSwas a 'complete Ineeotts, end
allotted a untaninions redentanpr 'As a finale to
the opera, Signorina Patti gave " The Adelina
Waltz," composed_ expressly for her by Signor
Marie, ,The Inetiyla *Vanning, and the varia
tions brilliant in the extreme, all of which were
executed most admirably, and with a perfection
I of intonation and distinct marking of the intervals
that surprised and delighted her auditors. 'The
applause throughbut was peofese and well-merited.
Brignoll sang the role of Altnavtva in his best
style, but'aeted it as usual. Signor E. narill made
an excellent 'Figaio, and fully redeemed hie short•
comings of Wednesday evening.'
On Monday Adelina Patti essays a new role for
the drat time, takes her benefit, and makes her
last appearance. The opera will be "La Tra.
viate," and she boldly dares comparison with the
other great'artistes who have preceded her in this
rdle. Singularly, this was the opera in whist she
wished to matte her original debut in Now York,
but, was persuaded from doing so. Much curiosity
will be elicited to witness her interpretation of a
character in which so many of her predecessors
have etieelled. -
This, evening, the, two Philadelphian Prime
Donti4,. Agnes and Francesca Natal', will , ap.
pear in " Luoresia Borgia," and Signor Brig.
noli, (who was so impolite, it is whispered,
as to deoline taking the ~a p art of Manriro
in it Il Trovatoro," with them, on ThurSda,-
evening,) condescends to sing In the character of
Gennaro, on this occasion. Brignoli has been the
spoiled favorite of Philadelphia, but may learn
that the way to maintain his popularity, very
fitietuating just now, is not by even appearing to
slight two such singers, belonging to Philadelphia,
ns Agnes and Francesca Natall. Wo shall bo
curious to see how hie automaton manner of sing•
ing will consort with the passionate and dramatic
action of Agnes Natali. No doubt, an ingenious
meolianlo will one day produce a oast-iron men,
with wheels' inside, capable of waddling on
and off the stage, of moving its arms at regular in
tervals, of preserving the same want of expres
sion'on its metallic features all through, and of
singing charmingly. Let, him patent it, for opera
houses, and call it " A &loon."

No doubt our readers noticed, among the adver

meat,' in rather singular phreseologV,lrem Mr.
John Henry Anderson, "The Wizard of the North: , ,,
Ctrs objaot was to toll Philadelphia that, after, an
absence of some eight yeare, be is "bank again,"
and will oommence what Othello designated "con
jurations and mighty magic," on next Monday eve
ning, at Concert Hall.
An ordinary mon would have done this in plain
words. Not so the Wizard, who inforins society
hat ho is a nomad, a ayologeotio, a cosmopolitan,
a oircumterrancan wonder—who relates his travel,'
history during the lest eight years, including a
freeze in the Arctic and the Antarctic—who has
earohed all lands, not forgetting the islands in the
Pune. His advertisement le a bit of 'anhiblegra
phy, in fact. •He does not use FO common a term
mr" Temple of Magic" to describe his place, hot
nails it the Psychomanteum. A smaller went
would suit smaller people, but Anderson affects
jart-breakers, He must have an understanding
withlhe Dictionary publishers!
Apart from Ms profession, Mr. Anderson (whose
solitary weakness is that he calls himself "Profos
sor," like Love, and other folks who forget to pay
their ,advertising bills) is a capital actor, a good
4ocallet, a bit of a poet, and his letters from Ann
trails to the London Era wore racy and full of in
formation. He had trained up his family to anoint
him, and certainly performs many extraordinary
feats. Moreover, whether rich or poor, (and he
has seen' the rips -and dowse of life,) John
Henry Anderson has always made a point of pay

TIIE PRESS.---PHILADELPIRA,
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
Letter from , " Oceasional.”
Oonozoondonoe of ; rhe Pram)
WABII IF GTOW, A. 0., peptanbor 21, 1860
:The lens contest between the War Department
- ilia 0)44, Montgomery C. Madge has been at but
terminated by the,Preeldent, who has relieved
that officer from an•, duties connected with the
Washington Aqueduct, and assigned him to the
charge of the construction of Fort Jftferson, at
Garden Key, Florida, which he is ordered hume-
Widely le.asSunte. This will, no doubt, be re
garded by Captain Meigs as a harsh measure of
justice, and may, it is supposed by sornepersone;
induce him to resign hie commission, unless, in
deed, he shall prefer to wait for recognition under
the incoming Administration. That he is an ac
complished officer and a high-toned gentleman, all
who know him *lll cheerfully admit. F'feel a
natural attachment 'to him as a citizen of Penn
sylvania, hut,. unfortunately, Captain Meigs is a
spoiled child. The favors conferred upon him by
General Pierce, who'regarded him 'as unequalled
as a topographical engineer, and the partiality
always shown him by Jefferson Davis, while
the 'fatter was Secretary of War, enabled him
to • control, with almost, despoil* power, the
attire construction of the Washington Aqua
dint, including, its vast conneotions in the ernes
of Washington and Georgetown, an wall as the en-
tire construCtion of the Capitol extension. Ito was
commended to President Buohanan in the most
favorable manner, and for a long time enjoyed the
unlimited
,confidence of the 0 P. P.; but whether
bottom he'did not like the Secretary of War, or
the Secretary of War did not like him, difficulties
soon grew np between him and Governor Floyd.
These troubles have been brewing ever since 1857.
I have repeatedly borne testimony to the integrity
and ability of Captain Meiga, but it is unquestion
able that the somewhat, arrogant manner in which
he discharged his duties, and refused to be con
trolled by the proper Deportment in the disburse
ment of the public money, bee greatly contributed
to the present change. At thelast session of Con
gross, through the instrumentality of Senator Davis,
*Alma was inserted into one of the appropriation
bills, amounting to an instruction to the President,
to the effect that the appropriation could not be
expended unless Captain Meiga was retained in hia
position' on the aqueduct. You will remember that
some doubt existed whether the President would
sign a bill with this clause, and it has since boon
asoertained that when he did sign it ho took care
to do so protepting against that clause, and own
pying the broad ground that under the Conatitu•
tion of the United States he is the commander-in-
Odder the army, and that Congress osnnot inter.
fere with his privilege of appointment and removal,
and put an inferior offieer beyond his oontrol. Not
withatandleg all this, however, Capt. Meiga and the
Secretary of War did not come to torma after the
adjournment of Congress. The difficulty finally
reaohed a bead by the summary order which sends
him to Florida. Of course Mr. Senator Davis will be
very angry, and Capt. Meiga greatly chagrined, but
nobody here is surprised at the result of the dispute.
it must be admitted that the President has acted
throughout with singular forbearance in regard to
this matter. Some of the Captain's notions have
been eccentric and overbearing. He net only ig
nored the, Secretary, but, the President himself,
and carried affairs so far that a decision of some
kind bad become imperatlielynecessary to enforce
subordination in the army.
Groat solioltude begins to bo felt as to the com
plexion of the new House of Representatives under
the incoming general Administration. Should the
Republicans elect Mr. Lincoln in November next,
and the new House be antißepublioan, it will
greatly embarrass their operations. They will
then start with an anti-Republican Senate and an
anti:Republican House, a solid opposition In the
South, and a large party in the free States arrayed
on the came side. Observing politicians in this
quarter estimate that the Republicans will lose
five members in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Now
York, and that they may gain two in New
Jersey, but elsewhere their chances for an
increase• upon their present vote in the
Rouse are exceedingly slim, It must be ro
membered, "also, that In the new Congress there
will be no single Southern member favorable to
Mr. Lincoln's Administration, unless indeed the
policy of that Administration should be conserva
tive and moderate. There is in this prospect much
probably to alarm the more speculators upon patron
age, but there is also much to encourage the conserv
ative men of the country, and to com pel the radical
antt•alavery teen of the North to yield to this ele
ment, and solo shape its policy hereafter as to con
solidate the foundation of the Tinton. This prospect,
tao, will go far to dispel any apprehansiona as to
the character of any Administration that may be
°boson in Isevembernext. If it should be Repub

grass will sot as a check upon any extreme or ills

However the iire•eatern may threaten tbiat in

dilate upon it. They deplore the threats of the

I regret to see that after the straight Douglas
ticket bas been framed and put forth by the regu

new attempt bee been made to tinker another
fusion ticket, and that the Brockinridge men have
boon invited to participate in the preparatory ar
rangements. I hope that the straight ticket will
stand intact, and that its friends will rerist all
bargains of whatever hind. The fate which has
attended the efforts to patch np a fusion ticket in
hrew York ought to admonish the true friends of
Judge Douglas In Pennsylvania to beware of all
entangling alliances. The leaders of the Bell and
Everett party in Philadelphia would, no doubt, be
glad to do anything to mitre the defeat of Wm.

That a Disunion party has long existed in the
Southern States must be admitted by OIL It
was at first distinctly manifested in 1830, on the
subject of the tariff, in South Carolina and other
States, developing the dootrines of nullifieatien
and secession. Disunion was openly proclaimed
at that date by South Carolina, and an attempt
mado to Introduce foreign import!' into Charleston
free of duty was arrested by General Jackson,
through the instrumentality of the navy of the
United States. Thus was the drat ebullition of the
Disunion spirit suppressed.
Yet the spirit was still there, the poison still no.

for the purpose of obtaining new constitutional
guarantees for slavery or with the hideous and nn
cloaked avows? of hostility to the existleg Govern
meat, it has been ever since gradually destroying,
in the Southern mind, all respect and attachment
for our Federal institutions.
It was recognised by Mr. Calhoun, in his last
great speech, when,mnfortunately, but with pstri
otio intentions, he advocated changes in the Con
stitution, and a dual Presidency—one President
from the South and one from the North. lied be
lived, this dangerous sohem t of consolidating the
South so thatthe demand for constitutional amend
ments might successfully and legally be made,
would not have run So rapidly into treason. Bat,
now, that class of Southern men who aim at a
temporary withdrawal from the Union, with the
hope of returning under more advantageous olwrom
staneco, are unwittingly controlled by the radicals
who believe that a permanent dissolution of the
Federal bonds is best for the slave States. Upon
the election of Lincoln, which is desired by both of
there parties as the necessary pretext, the Legis
latureslof the Cult States will be convened.
These are under the control of the Cotton
League, and will, in obedience to order, resell their
members of Congress and Senators. Commissioners
will then be appointed to Virgin's, Tennessee, and
the middle Southern States. to hold seine such lan

is diminished by six States? Come with us, end

upon the idea that the result would be the eleotion
of the illiterate Lane by the Senate.
But the Disunionists per se wore the more sa

Great States cannot secede from a National Con

stars of our political constellation shoot from their
orbits, and, at the commend of a few weak men,
resume their pleats in a now barmoniona but com

the sovereign States of this Confederacy recede it

with the Ron. usury bf. Fuller in presenting the

Welsh, chairman of the committee, which was op.
pointed by himself as president of the Reading
Convention :
" The undersigned, having In full view the disne ,
tore to the country which would result from the
election of Lincoln and Hamlin, have resolved to
recommend a Union Democratic anti-Republican
electoral ticket, to be formed in the following man
ner, to wit : The twelve electors of the Riading
ticket, which are assented to by all branches of
the Democratic party ; ten electors selooted by the
friends of Bell and Everett; five additional eleo-
tors from the Reading ticket, to be assented to by
a majority of the undo reigned—in all twenty-seven
—to the committees of the several organizations to
which they belong."
As it was necessary for too to depart from Phila.
delphia on Monday morning, the seventeenth of
September, with the lion 11 V. Johnson, I left
the above paper with the Ron, J Walker, Au
thorizing him, in presence of Mr. Johnson, to sign
my name, should Mr. Welsh, at the expected In
terview in'tbe morning, sign his The paper was
presented to Mr. Welsh by Mr. Walker, it being
distinctly stated that I was acting in soy ofileial
capacity, (as it wee, indeed,' impossible to divest
myself of it.) and the accompanying information
given, which could not have been new, that the
lion. henrylii Fuller, chairman of the Bell-Everett
State Committee, was prepared to sign the recent
mendation. Mr. Webb declined immediate ac
tion; Mr. Walker telegraphed to me, and at 6 P.M.
of Tuesday I arrived in Philadelphia to find Mr.
Walker nod Mr. Welsh together. Mr. Welsh de
clined the proposition, not as nn individual, for
Mr. Walker kept distinctly before him that I was
noting officially, and that he treated 'with him, far
me, otliolally. Re, however, intimated that a pro
poaltion for on electoral ticket composed of nine
Douglae, nine Bell-Everett, and nine Breckinridge
men, meg/a be acceptable. This was of course too
vague, and besides, could not, under any cirenta
stances, be accepted.
Individually. I have gone to the nthaost limit,
beyond the wiabes of most of the Douglas men. I
have agreed to recommend seventeen of the Read..
log electoral ticket and ten Dell-Everett men to
the true Democratic Committee. This is the fur
thest limit of patrlotio concession.
I may be severely condemned by my own friend;
for the liberality of the offelybut I hope they will
remember that the crisis ie imminent and the peril
to the Union great. At all events, Lbo Douglas
party of Pennsylvania are now in the attitude of
having been willing to make great concessions for
the purpose of defeating the Republicans. Ido
not advise them to go one step farther in treating
with a rebellious and receding Denso6rode Notion
Certainly I would not, for, white corresponding
with the Dell-Everett men as honorable opponents,
I cannot regard the Dreckinridgors.in any other
light than as wild and destructive rebels, and, in
the main, throughout the South, Disunioniets.

Judges Stroud and Ludlow only voting In the ne
gative.
The following preamble end resolutions, wore
oilseed by Judge Allison
Whereas, John MaArthur, Jr., has not furnished
to this board the proper evidence of the suffielenar
of the securities offered by him, which leaves the
question of the awarding of the (+entreat, open for
the further action of the commissioners; therefore
Resolved, That the several bidders be notified
to send to this board, on or before nine o'clock to
morrow morning, the unmeant lamb persons as they
propose as security, in $200,000, for faithful per
formance oftl,ir respective offers to erect public

and'that they accompany said nsmos with the writ
ten consent of the individuals named, end affidavits

Judges Stroud and Allison, and lair. Trego, voted
aye, and Judge Thompson and Mr. Ocular voted
no.
The preamble and resolution were therefore

Judge Thompson stated that his reason for

plies that Mr. McArthur bad neglected to offer
evidence of the sufficiency of his seourities when
the resolution of yesterday required him only to
send in the names of hie securities, which be has
done.
Judge Stroud and Mr. Cuyler submitted written
rensona for voting to award the contract to Mr.
Mr artbiar. They are as follows:
The undersigned vote for the awarding of the
oontrect to John Mckrtbnr, Jr.. upon his bid, be-
cause they believe his to he in feet the lowest and
best bid- In thus concluding, they are Influenced
by the consideration that, of five bids from build.
era of the highest stooding, the extreme difference
in their eetimatee is hut $3l 118; while the fifth,
and only remaining bidder is $208.084 in his esti
mate below the lowest. We think it is apparent
that the bid of Mr. Reteham is net feuraled upon
a correct estimate of the cost, and that, being be.
low a remunerative pries, it mutt result either in
defective work or a failure of the contractor to
fulfil his undertaking. We are frith influenced by
the consideration that Mr. McArthur is the author
of the plane, and is thus the most proper person to
eremite them, and that in addition to this there is
a awing to the city of an expenditure as com Pen.
cation for the cost of the plans and specifications,
madras° for the amities of Mr. bleA,, as architect.
