tooting " stars " that shine benignantly at our
aide. Next, the , ball room! Not a bad copy
of other saloons with more pretensions. At the
extrema and is a balcony, or box, in which aro a
violin, a olarionet, and a fife, each with a bloated
face behind it, and the trio are producing a sort of
drunken cotillion. The sot is being formed. The
women are first in position, each with her partner,
generally invited by herself. The men are generally
heavily begrimed and borrhiskored ; and among
them two who do not look to bo over eighteen.
" Most of these," said our guide, " aro known to
be burglars; and that fellow, at full length
on the side bench, is supposed to have been
guilty of at least three murders. That woman has
had five husbands—the last is at sea—and she will
soon have another; and that young fellow, with
the light cap, who dances so gracefully, and is
dressed so well, is one of the moat export pick
pockets in the country." We left the usual foe ;
but were informed that the girls could not got gin
till the ball was over. The tigress at the bar kept
them sober on light potations till this part of their
slavery Wes performed. These frail sisters aro
meetly attached to these houses as so many fix
tures, paying so much a week for their board, (at
boast $5,) which they must earn by the double sa
orifioo of body and cf soul ! I heard somo
dories of the way they aro treated by their over
seers—who aro too often Bonds in the ebape of
mon—how they are driven out when they yield to
the temptations around them—how they are forced
to submit to the most inhuman brutalities—and
how, in utter desperation, more than one finds
peace in an early grave, a willing victim to the
vice she labored to resist, or to that longing for
death which is gratified by poison or the knife.
But I will not repeat these details; for sooth to
say, if they were fit to tell, they would not be be
lieved, familiarly notorious as they are here. In
ono of these dens, where gin was not prohibited,
I saw a child, of not more than six years, stupid
with rum—its eyes half closed in drunkenness, and
its little faoe bloated ! " For God's sake, give me
some air," said one of our party, "I cannot stand
this a moment longer."
Wait, oh over-delicate and squeamish friend !
You will cry for "air" presently with a sincerer
seal. We are as yet only in the vestibule of those
mysteries. What we have to see lies farther on in
the night. Be patient, and do not let thy gorge
rise too soon.
i. Bleep here, and take care of your watches.'
, This," said our kind policeman, ~ is the resort o
hose who get gin at a cent a glass! Enter !'
Gracious God! and are these thy creatures?
.Ranged on bamboo, in a narrow oave, are the vie-
time of this infernal traffic. They are all worse
than idiots. There Is not ono of them who has in
telligence enough to contend for equality with a
monkey. They glare at yon with meaningless eye ;
they gibber through trembling and quivering
lips, and try to arrest you with weak hands ne you
pass. If they converse with onoh other, it is like
a conversation bet coon baboons.
This," said our guide, (touching the shoulder
of a man who, with hands In his pockets, vacantly
gazed upon us,) "is a good mochanio, who can
earn good wages if be chooses, but every now
and then he breaks out into a frolic, and hero is
the place he comes to spand his leisure in. lam
sorry, Ban," he said, turning to the man, " to ass
you hero again " Tim poor fellow bowed his
head and left the don.
As it was growing late, we wore invited by our
escort to look at some of the lodging rooms in the
neighborhood. With lantern in hand, which served
to make his " star" visible, and to show the way
to ricketty stairs, we descended into a deep collar.
On opening the door, there steamed up suoh a
stanch us made us recoil as before a blow, creating
indescribable sensations—breathing, it might be,
infectious disease.
The first eight that met our eyes was a baby,
calmly asleep in its cradle, watched over by a
blear-eyed and drunken mother, who greeted us
with a laugh, and pointed to the inner chamber,
where was a eight that only the pen of Dickens, or
the penal of a Wilkie, could desoribe.
The evening was not cold, but the keeper of this
airlosa hole had lit a fire in a dilapidated stove,
which seemed to finnan° the stench that filled the
place ea with a cloud. Piled on benches, peeked
upon shelves, lay human beings—happily, up to
this time all men—some asleep, some glaring upon
us like wild beasts, and all apparently miserable.
The proprietor eat between the bunks, smoking labs
pipe and answering questions.
In another of - these catacombs (for so they may
well be called ; tho living bodies exhaling an odor
as putrid as if the bodies wore as dead as the
sensibilities they feebly surrounded,) there was a
still more hideous sight. Hers husbands and wives
—for SO let us believe them to be—lay together. A
sick dog whined in a corner, keeping up an un
earthly yell, and making na shudder before the au-
LABELS
paretition that greets such a sound as the forerun
ner of death; and between his agonizing wail and
the cargos of the men and woman around me, I
thought, for a moment, that I was in a lesser Pan
demonium.
"Gentlemen, are you satisfied?" raid our kind
guardian
"Yes, more than satisfied," said a Philadelphia
friend , by my side, who only stuck to me beeattao
I should have upbraided him for his desertion.
Following oar "star," in single file we began to
ascend a building of some throe or four stories,
along datir entries, up croaking stairs, and through
gloomy passages, until we some to a room at which
the officer knocked loudly. Far some moments
there was no, answer, but at last a gruff voice cried
out:
Who's there?"
"Aa oMoor."
"What do you want?"
"I want to see you. I've got company for
you."
They shall not come in ; you have no business
with me. I toll you Pll not open the door."
The officer turned to us, and said, "here is an
old customer who knows his legal rights. I wish
l'eould show you his crib ; but I will not break
open . his door."
On. another story we bad lass difficulty. At a
single rap - the door opened, and there stood before'
ns a negro more 'hideous in his ugliness and
more terrible in Ids appearanoe than I can de
scribe.' A mingling of what ono reads of Fagin
and• Bill Sykes; a combination of oraft and of
sensuality; a brutalised" idea of a vulgar Shy
look, and an inhuman bully.

Oar "ofileer informed us that it was no un
common thing for children, from ten to fourteen, to
be ttooomplished as pickpockets, and to make a
btfsineas of asking elms; but this little fellow 'was
not of this class. Ne married him to the station
house, and made ample compensation, to him for
our indifference, because that we had just seen
,eeemed to care for no human sympathy or assist
ance.
The lieutenant at this station kindly threw open
the doors of the lodging rooms, and of the cells for
prisoners taken up during the night. In one of
these rooms we counted fourteen women—homeless
and friendless creatures, who had there sought
shelter. qeme were asleep, and those who waked
drew their shawls over their bare heads to avoid
the gaze of the visitors. Ono held in her arms a
ohild, about two years old, whose little pale fees
and attenuated limbs indicated that the sands of
its life were fast running out, and that Providence
intended to rescue it from the fate of the poor
wretches around it.
Outside of this small and (dose cell, on benches,
were stretched other women. Not a few of their
countenances sheered past beauty of no ordinary
character. The black, glossy hair of one, her
white teeth, and her finely-chiselled features were
evidence that, young as she was, she had flaunted
her brief day as a queen among her class. But
she, too, was not long for this life.
At the end of the corridor was a room somewhat
larger, eeoupted by the mon lodgers. Hero the
degradation was more apparent. The bruised and
bloated faces, the shoeless feet, the filth, and the
noisome smell that exhaled from their bodies,
created a sensation of indescribable nausea. They
were packed in like herring, all, without excep
tion, the victims of drink, and its attendant vices
and crimes.
Down stairs were the cells in 'Wale - attic prisoners
of the night wore confined—sentenced on various
oharges; some for drunkenness and others for
theft and burglary. On ono of the hard pallets a
weman was reposing. She roused up at our ap.
preach and began to weep and moan in the most
heart-rending manner. Next door - to her was a
mother with a child in bar arms. Ono cell con
tained three men. hfy attention wild Gilled tome,

was sustained by the appearance of his tormentor
--a young and stalwart Irishman, with a hideous
face, who poured out a torrent of profane vitupe
ration upon the old man. Tho officer kindly re
leased the latter, amid the most earnest expressions
of gratitude.
The station houses seemed to be superior to those
of Philadelphia. The accommodations for the of
ficers ere neat and convenient ; the ball itself
largo and well ordered ; and the whole economy of
the place admirable. Meat of the lieutenants are
men of education and character, and the discipline
of the rank and file of the police seems to bo exact
and revere. A record is kept of all those who aro
lodged and confined ; their ages, sex, occupation,
and residence. The majority of the guilty and the
poor seemed to he males, bat the proportion of fe
males was frightfully largo.
The adventures of these unfortunates would fur
nish a startling commentary upon the scarcity of
female employment, and the inadequacy of female
wages Attracted to New York, they run a brief
career, after as brief a resistance to tne allure
manta of vice, and die an early death.
The history of a young girl Irons an adjacent
village was told to M. She was extremely lovely ;
but, fond of dress and admiration, was induced on
one occasion to pay a visit to Now York, by a man
who represented himself as a merchant, and proved
to be a gambler. She never returned to her happy
home, but bourne an inmate of one of tho liferoer
street houses, where she remained for some two
years. At the end of this time she had contrived
to save some fifteen hundred dollars, and then re
solved to change her course in life, and to Live upon
bar little fortune. At this moment the tempter
again appeared, in the person of her seducer. She
loved him ardently, and, with a woman's confi
dence, surrendered to his keeping her money, on
the promise that it should be repaid five fold. be
never saw him more, "and now," said the officer,
".she is almost a nightly occupant of ono of our
cells."
Those who have road the works of Dickens will
remember how ho delineates the mystery of thiev
ing in all its varieties; the skill and dexterity
of the London burglars; the utter, degradation,
even of children of both sexes, reared amid evil
associations, and the difficulty of detecting the
really guilty. New York cannot, of course, qua'
London in this respect, but it has many representa
tives worthy the von of the Illustrious Boz. Anec
dotes aro related of boys of ton years, who make
the circuit of the city, day and night, with violin
and tambortne, and return with a considerable
harvest, taken from thepookets of their audiences,
all of which, in turn, is counted over to their lead
er, who °melees a brutal tyranny over his youth
ful followers.
. The nationalities of the habitues of the part of
Now York that we visited are American, Gorman,
and Irish. Of course, American rowdyism is there
represented in its worst phases, but the fondness
for liquor seemed to show itselfless among the Ger
mans. Those who resort to the German dons pro
fer lager beer, while in other quarters we noticed
that gin, whisky, and other poisonous decoctions
were the favorite beverages.
Our next and last visit was to the negro head
quarters. Down stairs a statdo, the second floor a
coffin warehouse, the third a bali•room and a bar!
The contrast was entirely in favor of the colored
ladies and gentlemen. The room was cleaner, the
females bettor dressed and bolter behaved, and the
mon looking healthier and more alert. A large
party occupied the floor as we entered. The music
was good, and the dancers more decorous than that
we had seen. Among those who participated, we
noticed four young white men, apparently clerks
from neighboring stores. They seemed to be much
consternated at the appearance of the officers and
the strangers. But they worried through the dance,
and took the first opportunity to escape.
Leaving a fee with the woman who had charge
of the place, we returned to our carriages, and
reached our quarters, tirad, jaded, and depressed.
Philadelphia has its sore spots, like New York.
The Press lately published a very faithful da
guerreotype of the condition of the degraded in
Bedford, Baker, and Spofford streets. Bat no snob
sights appal the senses in our city as those which
are so common In New York. If time had per-
witted, we should have given more evenings to the
examination of other places. What we saw was
but a portion of the city.
When we left our hotel, early in the,evening,
Broadway, an a bright moonlight, was orowded
with foot-passengers. aho street was covered
with carriages and vehicles of all descriptions.
Streams of light poured from gay stores, and joy
and comfort seemed to abound. When we re
turned, that vast thoroughfare was deserted and
quiet. The oontrast between the close and stifling
alleys wo had left, and this splendid avenue,
atretohing for miles through the heart of that
TWO CENTS.
great metropolis, was strangely suggestive: Bow
few of those who flaunted on Broadway cared for
their human brothers and sisters, perishing-within
five minutes' walk! Beyond, and .in the ariSto-.
:matte portion of the oily, in the Fifth avenue—
where,, for other miles, stretch lordly palaces,
'orovrded with luxurious adornments, and mu
:pied by those whose wants are anticipated and
iwhoso tastes vitiated by an excess of wealth,
there is a criminal indifference to the Suffering
poor: Little of the vast revenues coined in speou
fallen and in trade is diverted to their relief. The
annual contribution to a fashionable church, the
frequent presents to a popular preacher, may be
said to bo the _usual limit of the charities-of the
over-rich. Ip their oyes, penury is crime, and one
poverty-strinken wretch detected and &endued is
made an excuse for , including ,the whole class.

Postponed. We hope that the rains may descend
and fill the river, eo that on the Oth of November
next a largo excursion party may be able to ascend
to its sources, to attend to some important core
' monies And here I would mention, for the benefit
of the unfortunates, that they will find a remarka•
bly fine railroad dining-house at Brookfield, where
one may obtain all, that would delight the inner
man. This information, doubtless, will relieve
many, for Western faro is not generally very good.
This, however, is an ossis in the desert,
We arrived at St. Joseph at di P. )11. This
plans is situated on the rig nt bank of the Missend
river, and it is the most western town of Missouri.
It is remarkable for two things—its " magnificent
distances" and its vast quantities of duet which
hung like clouds euspended in the air, filling the
ear, mouth, and eye with that not very egreeable
substance. As a western point on the Missouri
river, connecting with rho plains and territories,
it has attained considerable business character,
and increased in population quite rapidly; so
much eo, that a gentleman remarked to me that
he well remembered whoa there was but one
house standing here ' Re also stated that at one
time he was honored with the important post of
postmaster, and so onerous were his duties that he
carried the mail in his hat ! The town has grown
to be a plaee of nearly 12,000 inhabitants, with a
fair prospect of a much larger inoreaso. The
merchants of the place gave the excursion party a
fine supper, at which much social feeling was
shown anti trade thoroughly discussed. The Mis
souri river, at this point, is about half a mile wide,
and presents that remarkable feature noticed by
persons residing on its banks, the continual chang
ing of its channel. At one point, a farmer had
purchased a farm of eighty-eight acres, on the
banks, but the river had changed and literally
carried away seventy-eight, leaving but ten acmes.
Re has actually moved a part of his land from
Kansas to the State of Missouri ! The blank, mud

pose it could not be deed for drinking purposes ;
but, on the contrary, we find it quite palatable.
True, to drink it without filtering or allowing it
time to settle, one would soon obtain the peek of
dirt usually allotted to mortals in a life-time.
While here the excursioniate had an opportunity
of seeing the Pony Express depart and arrive.
Informed that it would leave at SA. M., we posted
to the office to mark themovonsents. At the firing of
a cannon, out dashed the pony with his rider,
from the stable ; came galloping with great speed
up the hill, rushed into the °Moe where the mail
was thrown on to his back, and off he started,
amid the cheering of the spectators, the firing of
the cannon. And as we watched him, literally fly
ing over the ground, we thought of the mighty
energy of Western enterprise, that would thus
overcome obstacles. Rare we dnd 2,300 miles tra
versed by single riders, in the short space of ten
days. This is done by riders placed at stations,
eighty miles distant from each other, who, as soon
as tho mail arrives, mount and fly to the next eta.
lion, and so on, and on to San Francisco, Califor
nia. On Thursday a special train took the party
on an excursion t t Atchison, of Kansas notoriety.
This place contains about 3,000 person and is well lo
cated. Rare you find the real type of the far-west,
the broad• ehouldered, stalwart man, with a will and
a courage to do and dare, and occasionally an Indian
dressed in his fanciful Costume, while here and
there you see the Indian trader, in his rough and
native garb, with muscles and sinews that would
defy almost the ywy elements. We met here Gen.
Stringfellow, WS:figured conspicuously in the
Kansas difficulties. Ile is a fine-looking man,
of about tho middle age. Active and energetic, he
unquestionably was, and is now the head and front
of the pre...slavery party in the Territory. lie is a
man with a great deal of intellectual power, with
an indomitable will, and these have given him
the pre-eminence which he has occupied. Ills town,
I am informed, has completely changed its poli
ties : one° the stronghold of slavery, it is now anti
slavery and Republican. This is somewhat remark
able, but it shows how New England and the
Northwest have poured their citizens into the Ter
ritory. In the afternoon, some of our party went
up to Bello:Bente, K T., where, standing on a high
bluff, we had a magnificent view of the Territory.
The day was beautiful and the atmosphere as (dear
as crystal, and therefore we could see a great dis
tance, and as we looked over the waving hills of
prairie, each receding wave, as it were, peeping
over its neighbor, until the whole seemed a vast
ocean waving in silence, and its immensity impres
sed us with the sublime, we felt we were azing upon
4, a promised land," a land that would"" flow with
milk and honey." We felt that the day was not
far distant when this land would all be occupied and
become one of the most important portions of our
great country. T.
HEATHEN INCANTATION IN NEW ONLEAxa.—
On Saturday night, at New Orleans, Officer Phil
lips and others, on the strength of some informs,
Lion received, pounced upon on establishment on
Gavior street, and abruptly interrupted the nays•
terious ceremonies of a small vondoux assembly.
Around a boiling cauldron, containing a largo
snake, half a dozen colored women, in a state of
complete nudity, were performing the singular
evolutions and fantaetical dance of this heathen
creed. The object of their incantations mas the
deliverance from prison of James Stevens. ,The.
women were intoxicated, and as they moved they:
chanted some mysterious words with a fervor that
was growing noisier es their excitement increased,
and was the first cause of their discovery and ar
rest. The officers surrounded them, and, after
getting them to assume a more decent appearance,
i
led them to the lookup. It s strange how fro;
gamily instances of this remnant of African igno
rance and superstition are found among the black
people, notwithstanding the religious instruction
given them We even remember an occasion when
white women were found taking an active part in
these disgusting ceremonies.

THE CAPTURE OP GUADALAJARA conrnurrx—
i lIHAIIT-RENDING PARTICULARS OP THE
[From the New Orleens Pieestme..l •
I By this arrival we have files of Mexican papers,
as late aedue, from all - parts of the Republic, from
the city ef Mexico to the 17th: The Bone/fa; the
edicial.msen of Miramon, of that date, states that •
the provisions of the beeleged. at Gaadalejara,
were reduced very low, .and intimates that the city
would soon hate to Capitulate.
I Andehe pusangire bY the diligence, which left
the capital en the same day,:state that just before
their departure the nevi arrived •that the city of
Guadalajara was taken on the 11th. It is added
that the news was fulltblreedted at the capital.
The event, which neerieenis to be fully confirm
ridejs a Most important one; and may be the then
log. point of thikeivil war. Guadalajara is the se
end city of the Re' nblio, rieh and prosperous, and
has beep defended with great obstinacy. It has
reng beenimbreover, the principal Stronghold of
the Reactionlets in that part of the Reenblio, and
its capture is believed to open the way direct to
the capital. •
• ear files abound in most touching letters from
the besieged eitV; from ;thick it would appear. as
might, indeed, have been expected, that the stiffer
leg of the people was very great We learn, in
deed, from a letter from Gen. Ortega himself, that
on the let instant the stamina had become so great
that the fire upon the city was suspended for the
apace of three hours, that women and. children
might leave the -town. How many actually left
We are not informed, but it would appear that the
number was small. In all probability, the poor •
people knew not what to do, and there, for the
apace of at least twenty daye, they remain huddled
together in the centre of the town farthest U
nloved from the shots of the besiegers. suffering
each hour discomforts and anxieties which must
have been worse than death itself.
In the same letter Gen. Ortega gives an equally
Sad account of the demoralization and neeessltlea
(=cos r. .
day, and the general writes on the Ist, with the
most perfect confidence, that the city would be
compelled to capitulate at an early day.
Of the capitulation we have no partioulars, nor
of the disposition of the people, nor of the killed or
wounded. The latter mast in any case have been
large.
The news by this arrival also confirms that be
fore published of the notion of the Constitutional
Govez =ant in depriving General Degoilado of the
command of the army , for the seizure of the late
donduota, and the - appotntment of General Ortega
in his place. The note of the Government, making
the announcement, is very severe in its reprobation
of the seizure, and declares that the money shall
be restored to its lawful owners. 'We prancing,
therefore, it will soon find its way hither by the
Rio Grande.
The United States minister, Mr. McLane, arrived
out at Vera Cruz on the 17th, and resumed the
duties of his mission. ,
' it le stated, from the capital, that every seat in
the diligence, which was to leave on the 21st for
Jalapa, had been taken by the British legation.
The non.arrival of the new French minister, M.
Saligny, by the Tennessee, gave much disappoint-
ment to the French at Vora Cruz.
- - .
From the capital we have but a repetition of the
news we have for months past had to record—the
almost total suspension cf business ; calling in of the
neighboring garrisons ;levies upon the rich; and
anxieties of the people—all of which, in mush a
state of anarchy and confusion,-we can well believe
to be true. It is also stated that tho troops were
being called in from the city of Puebla, which was
to be abandoned, to the conatitutionalias.
In the meantime it is stated that Gen. Degollado
had been detected in intrigue with the Miramon
Government for an amicable arrangement between
the two parties, and for this he had been ordered
to Vera Cruz for trial. The British minister, Mr.
Matthews, is supposed to be at the bottom of it.
The laity and port of Vora Crus were healthy,
and all the members of the legation and consu
late, and crews of tho squadron, were well.
An Episode of the" Battle of Volturno.
THE DARING AND DANGE RD OP GARIDALDI.
A correspondent of the Journal des Debars
saya:
The most brilliant episode of the action of the
lot of October was the recapture of the battery at
the foot of Mont San-Angelo. When I left Santa
Maria, I knew that this battery had bees very
much disabled in the morning. Garibaldi, arrived
it nine o'clock, when the enemy was thundering
nt it with all his strength because it took him in
flank, and was causing him were lose. The triple
battery - courageouslyvesisted the attack, anelnever
slackened fire, when all at once the one situated at
the foot of the hill became silent. The royalists,
to the number of 2,500, got round_the hill, and
rushing upon the guns spiked five of them and
killed several of the men at their pieces. Gar
ibaldi, on the San-Tammaro aide, soon observed the
silence of his favorite battery, and an aid-de
camp from General Mil Wits soon informed him
of the disaster, which would probably have lost
him the battle. Garibaldi at ones started off,
crossed Santa Maria, followed by Medici and
his staff, and, collecting what men he could, cried
ont in a voice which caused all to shudder, , t We
are going to die, but the Italians must win the day ;
at ail other points we have conquered." Followed
by 100 men, at a rapid pace, Garibaldi, leading
the way in a small disabled carriage, went Sight
forward. But just as they got near the Casino of
San' ngelo, 601120 Neapolitan Chastisers who were
lying on the ground rose and fellupon thein. - The,
coachman drove his horses into a ditch, and formed
a barricade of the carriage. Garibaldi jumpedup,
indignant, and went up to the Chassenrs, shouting
" Viva Italia!" - Some of his men coming up at
the same tuna, the enemy became demoralised,
and took to flight. Garibaldi was slightly wound
ed in the stomaoh, and his trowsers were riddled
by two or three' bullets. ,4 If I only had
another pair," ho said, and without further re.
mark he continued his march towards a batta.
lion of 150 Hungarians, commanded by General
Mogyorady. He pointed to the Neapolitans who
were in possession of the battery, and cried out to
them, "Forward, my lade, disperse that rabble
yonder for me !" This " rabble " consisted of a
regiment of the, line, a squadron of cavalry, a
company of Chasseurs, and a comiony of artillery.
The Hungarians, without waiting to count the
numbers of the adversary, rushed forward and
°berg , s 1 with the bayonet. After a contest of
twenty minutes, the battery was retaken, and
once more it poured Its storm of grape on thei Nea
politan troops, who fled in confusion across the
fields. The Hungarians, in this encounter bad
thirty
men pat hors de combat, the Neapolitans
about two hundred. Garibaldi did not wait to
dress his wound, but hurried elsewhere. Tho day,
however, was now won.
Fnosr Tuxes.—The Galveston Civilian,
of the 18th inst.. says: As we apprehended, the
regent cool weather was attended by frost in the
interior. We have not yet heard of the effect
upon the second crop of cotton ; but the Te/egraph,
says that in the vicinity of Houston the frost was
heavier than is usual before the middle of Novem
ber, and thinks it will destroy what hopes the
planters had of a second crop of cotton, as well as
'check the growth of the sugar sane and set it to
ripening.
.GEORGIA MINERALS.—A deposit of twenty
pounds five ounotis and a half of gold was made
at the Branoli Mint in Dablonega last week. This
gold was all taken from the Dorn mines, and was
the result of one week's work. The copper mines,
too, situated about six miles from Dahlonega, are
becoming . of some interest. Several gentlemen,
from various parts of the country, have made
scientific, examinations of the mines, and pro.
nounce a favorable opinion of them.
