l*he News.
ThriUb* news from Itttyl King Victor Em
manual has joined his a Word With that of Gari
baldi, and on the Garigliano had met the abdi
cated Bourbon. The battle waft briefs the Yiotory
decisively brilliant, and King Prabels of Bourbon
lost his last throw for empire. Eleven thousand
prisoners were captured, and Gaeta occupied by
the Piedmontese troops. King Victor Emmanuel,
flushed with viotory, wsb about to enter Naples,
end we may next hear of a prince of the House of
Savoy on the throne of-a Bourbon. An effort was
being made by the people of Viterbo and Perugia
to obtain the benefits of annexation. The Italian
eorn crop was deficient. ' A famine Would be terri
ble at this time,' for what would freedom be with
out feed? The report of a treaty between Austria
uni England was unfounded. There Is no news
of Interest trans-Atlantic countries.
A Chinese correspondent of the New York Ttmes
gives an account ot the visit of the Chinese rebels
to Shanghae, and their attaok upon that place.
Ua the 18th of August a large body of them ap
peared on the southern side, and were fired upon
by the English guards* They then passed round
to the eastern suburb, whioh they occupied, and
demanded admission to the eastern gate, which
demand was answered with a shower of grape.
Notwithstanding the nnweloome character of their
reception, they made no belligerent demonstra
tion against the oity, their, objeot seeming
rather to propitiate the foreigners. Frota the
IDih to the 22d they contented themselves with
merely showing themselves before the walls,
without firing a shot or making any effort to
attack, when a message was sent to them stating
that the Allies were In possession of the oity, and
would'defend it. They answered that they had
no quarrel with the foreigners, and subsequently
withdrew entirely from the vicinity—intimating,
however, that were they so disposed, they had a
force sufficient to capture the place. The Allies
seem to have behaved in the most unwarrantable
manner In their defence of the oity. Two of the
suburbs were burned down by them, involving a
great loss, not only to the Chinese bnt to foreign
merchants, and the opportunity, of course, was
availed of for murder and plunder.
The Secessionists lore Georgia by a majority of
not less than 2,600, Breoklnridge having simply a
plurality. As it requires a majority of votes to
choose, .electors, there is no oheice, and eleotors
will be ehosen by the Legislature. The Legisla
ture, however*haa adjourned, eleotors cannot be
chosen,' and Georgia, will actually have no vote in
the Electoral College.
We hare intelligence from Pike’s Peak by the
mall which arrived at Fort Kearney on Saturday.
The mail brought $ll,OOO in treasure. There was
a movement on foot to run a semi-weekly stage be
tween Omaha and Denver, the business warrant
ing It. The news of Lincoln’s election had readi
ed the mountains. There was no other news of
importance.
The returns from Virginia, tho grand old mother
of Presidents, and the Biate where the happy in
stitution* of stage-coaches and rough roads still
fionxieh, have not yet all been received. The vote
is very close, and the oounties beyond the tele
graph/ale making their reports with tardiness.
We may know the result in California before the
Old' Dominion is decisively decided for either
Breckinridge or Bell. The Bell men aresangnine,
and the figures thus far favor them.
A Territorial Belief Convention has been held
in Aichifon, Kansas, lately. The objeot of the
Convention was to provide measures for the relief
of the settlers who are suffering from the destitu
tion caused by drought. An appeal for relief will
be made te the Union. The telegraph reports that
there is. great destitution in the Territory, and
seconds the appeal for relief.
Mr. Bonham, of South Carolina, has resigned his
seat as a member ot' Congress. This is another
Republican gain in the House.
A Washington despatoh in the Herald says that
a gentleman who had arrived in that oity from New
Orleans represents • Louisiana as sound for the
Union. , The people aro much exasperated against
the .Republicans, and what they understand to be
thelr.poUey on the question of slavery, but they do
not deem secession neoestary or desirable at
present. South Carolina may precipitate matters*
as her political leaders feel bound in oonsistence
to make some demonstration.
We understand, says the New Orleans Picayune,
that cifeulara are out in Mexico for the ohoUmoi
Presidential electors, to assemble the coming
month of February, for the election of a successor
to the present head of the Constitutional Govern
ment, Juam. This is in accordance with the terms
of the Constitution, but in the present state of the
Republic, torn and distracted as it Is by civil war,
wa do not see how it etn be canvassed to_anv ma*>*
efftoL-.-
The . Right of Secession*
Wo copy the following ftom the Alban;
(New York) Evening Standard, a Republican
paper, as follows:
The Philadelphia Press, in speaking of President
Bnohtsao, uys:
“USon fho theorrthat he cannot move now, South
Caraiina-ie now left free, even before ebeseoedee, to
nullify the law* of Corgiets. Aud the Executive will
be unable to «end the navy into her harbor, even to ool
leotanUee. on the uoor around that be cannot find au
thority under the Constitution, and hie oath of office,”
1 * Tks Press seems to confound ( secession' with
‘ nullification.’ The difference Is just the diffe
rence .between loll; and treason. Secession is a
harmless offence, provided it is nothing but se
cession. South Carolina can secede from the United
States Senate, from the United States House of Re
presentatives, She ecu secede from all post-office
accommodations, and rsfuaa to pnt in or take let
ters from the mall. Every man in South Caroline
can carry his own letters if he pleases, and on his
ewn ssddio; pleeed on his own horse. South Cero
linarntfy decode from northern-tin pedlers end
growers of bine elay indigo- She can refuse to wear
goods imported from Lowell, Boston,Naw York, or
London. All those things Booth Carolina can
do, Without doming into collision with the United
States Constitution or United States troops. Booth
Caroline has even a right to refuse to pay dntiea on
importad gooda. Bat If she deer refuse, the Na
tional Government hss a right to aoiso goods and
keep them till duties an paid. Should South
Carolina resist seisure, it wonld be ‘an act of
war,’ amounting to treason. The Press says, that
no State has a constitutional right to accede. As
the Constitution is silent In this point, wo do not
■oo how The Pressv an establish its position. What
Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton said attar the
Constitution was formed, has no more weight In a
legal point of view, than if their opinions had been
delivered by John Smith or Rtoherd Doe.”
There is a short pnswer to this. If South
Carolina may secede ftom the Union, an; other
State me; secede. If the act of secession h;
one or more States is submitted to b; those
who remain in the Union, and the Executive
should take no step to protect the Government
front mutilation, then our republican experi
ment U a dead failure. To admit the right
of Secession is, in onr opinion, to admit that
tbe'CopstitUtion contains no provision to de-
from destruction; aud toss; that
the-chief architects of the Constitution did
not'know how it sbonld bo construed, is to
ecfcp the worst heresies of the Southern
schismatics. It is an alarming symptom to
see what fearful strides the idea has made,
that a' single revolting State may nullify the
laws,' and break up the Republic. If the Re
puhllcan party intend taking this position, it
hod better bo announced at once, so that a{l
who believe |n the doctrines of Washwotoh,
JerVsnsoH and Jackson, should have a chance
to look out' for themselves. We are amazed
that any Northern journal .should bo found
advocating a theory whioh most of the Southern
patriots repudiate, and which, In the North, is
confined to the Bznhtts and the O’Cokoks.

The American Union vs. the Southern
Confederacy.
Should South Carolina bo enabled to attach
the teat of the Cotton States to tho Disunion
locomotive, and with the Impulse of her ex
ample carry them into the tempestuous ocean
ol“ a Southern Confederacy,” what will he the
course of the Union men in the seceding
States ? Will they remain to be persecuted
and reviled by the chiefs of the new State, or
will they Bhake the dust from their feet, and
follow the flßg of the Union wherever it may
lead ? In looking over the vote thrown at
the lato election, we find that excepting in
South Carolina—where there is in reality little
or no suffrage, and whoro the public opinion
is made by leaders and not by tho people—
where thero are generals, captains, majors,
and a startling paucity of troops—we find that
Judge DotraiAs and Joint Bkm. have received
an immense vote—in 'sonic cases overwhelm
ingly against BRK'OKCtninas, and in others ex
hibiting a strength that signifies an existing
Union feeling that can never bo extinguished.
We reprint a few examples:
“In Bt. Louis, Lincoln, 8,1)5!!; Douglas, 8,177;
Bell, 4,132 In Louisville, the oapital of the State
of Whtoh Mr. Breckinridge was formerly ‘ the fa
vorite son,’ the vote wbs, for Bell, 3,823; for
Douglas, 2,833; for Breokinridge, 659—tho vote
for the Illinois Senator being nearly three times as
Sreat as that polled fir the Kentucky Senator. In
few Orleans the vote stood: for Bell, 5,210; for
Douglas, 2,993; for Breokinridge, 2,645—a major
ity of more than 309 for the ’Little Giant’ over
Breckinridge. In Mobile, the oapital of the Stato
of Yancey, where Douglas spoke on tho night
preceding the election, the telegraph announces
that ’ the city and county give Douglas a
majority of 216 over Bell, and 322 over Breck
inridge. In the ohief towns of Virginia the vote
for Douglas does not fall muoh behind that oast for
Breokinridge, and the State bas, for the first time
In her history, been carried by the Opposition
party.” ■
Any oho frho will peruse tho Disunion
papers forced to the conclusion that
the doctrines they assert will ho practically
applied in the event of secession. No man
who does not agree with this doctrine will be
permitted to remain. Every prayer for the
Union States will be punished as treason, and
every attempt to effect liberal commercial re-;
lations with the free States will ho resisted to
tho hitter end. Tho act of secession on so
slight a Cause is tiofc only tho proof of an
existing Intolerance worthy of the barbaric
age, but a certain promise that this intolerance
will and must be applied in regard to all who
may flatter themselves that they can remain
in connection with the chiefs and followers of
the Disunion Confederation, and entertain
conscientious and conservative views*
Wo put out of sight the question of the
public safety, tt is no purpose of ours to
alarm our Southern fellow-countrymen, or to
hold up the hideous picture of a servile insur
rection ; hut would it not he well for them to
consider that, in proportion as they prepare
for a state of separate existence, and probably
for a condition of armed resistance to the laws
of the Union, and leave, they will to this ex
tent depreciate all their property, whether in
slaves or in soil, and whether wealthy men,
who desire to live tranquilly, and to enjoy the
fruits of their industry and investments, may
not prefer removing to other quarters to re
maining among those who are making an ex
periment full of perils.
We knew it is claimed th at thousands of
Southerners will at once go Into the seceding
States, should their own refuse to follow the
example of South Carolina; but how many
people will he willing to carry their goods
and their means from a State protected and
sheltered by the Constitution and the Union
into one that is filled with the elements of
tumult and of war ? Nor, in the event of se
cession, will tho irec States—who will, of
course, remain under the flag of the country—
.be without a warm and hearty support in tho
South. Should the Cotton States insist upon
retiring, they will yet leave behind them all
jthe non-slaveholding States, and wo have no
doubt Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri,
and probably Louisiana. Of course, tho
Pacific States will cling to their present politi
cal. and geographical relations. We leave
those who have a weakness for estimating the
prospect of the seceding States, when the act
of secession shall finally he consummated, to
draw the contrast between the Union without
them and their own isolated and independent
condition.
The New Oregon Senators.
There has been so much said about the-elec
tion of Colonel E. D. Baker and Colonel J.
W. Nesmith as United States Senators from
the new State of Oregon, that we are at last
gratified in beiDg able to print tho reason
which induced the non-intervention Democrats
and the Republican members of the Legisla
ture of Oregon to unite in effecting this result.
The short address in another column, signed
by the non-intervention or Douglas Democrats
in the Legislature of Oregon, triumphantly
vindicates their conduct, and we do not doubt
that they will he sustained by their constitn.
ents. It would have • been_sunm#i“er if efio
of General Lane, Dr.
Gvrnf, and other Administration leaders on
the Pacific coast, had not awakened tho indig
nation of the Democracy of California and
Oregon. That which aroused retaliation else
where was met with a similar spirit in those
far-off States, particularly in view of tho de
monstration of General Lake upon the regular
organization at Charleston, and his subsequent
acceptance of the Secession nomination, for
Vice President, at Baltimore. Nowhere has
the despotism of tho Administration been so
mercilessly exercised upon independent Demo
crats as in California and Oregon; and no
where haß this despotism seemed to he more
triumphant. At last the recoil has come.
Oregon has led the way, and we trust in a day
or two to chronicle the response of her elder
sister, the golden oflspriDg of tho Compro
mise Measures of 1850, who came into the
Union as a harbinger of peace, covered with
tho benedictions and blessings of Kerry Clay
and Daniel Webster.
Fawkes’ American Steam Plough.
The Philadelphia ledger of the 9th of No
vember has the following notice of the per
formance of this extraordinary invontion. Wo
intend, when leisure and space will permit, to
speak more frilly of it:
“ Yesterday, a trial of one of Fawkos’ steam
ploughs, whioh has been built for Col. Wood, for the
purpose of exhibiting it is Cuba, took place on an
open lot near, Harrowgate, in the presenoo of &
large number of farmers and others. The lot
ploughed has not been cultivated for many years,
and the ground was, therefore, well set in graßs,
and very bard, bat. notwithstanding these draw
back*, eight farrows were made at one time, and
the sod completely turned under. The manner in
whioh the work was done elicited the prAiseof all
familiar with the cultivation of the soil. The ma
chine used yesterday is similar in size and appear
ance to the one Mr. Fawkes exhibited in Hub city
some two years since, and whioh waß described
in the Ledger at that time; but several im
portant improvements have been added, which
render it more effective and less liable to
get out of order In the first plaoe, the
arum on whioh the engine rests, and whioh
gives it the propelling tower, has been reduced in
weight, ana the gearing increased in size, thus
giving muoh more power for doing its destined
work. The cylinders are 9>inoh bore and 15-inch
stroke* - Tbo boiler is 8 feet 8 inches high, and 4
fe4t in diameter. It cpntalnj 283 tubes U inohes
in diameter, and 4 feet,6 inches long.' The fire box
U 4 by 4 feet I inch, and 28 Inches deep. The engine
Is about 30-horse power, and notwithstanding the
newness of the machinery, it worked with much
ease and with-but little noise. An Improvement
has also been made in the gearing of the ploughs by
substltuiing an iron frame in the plaoe of a wooden
one, as was the ,oaae In tbe first pne made. The
Are box iu front, and which rests upon the guiding
wheels, has been much enlarged without adding
any additional weight to the engine; and in addi
tion to tbe donkey pomps, whioh supply'the boilor
with water when the engine is not m motion, two
force pumps haVe been attaohed to feed the boiler
when theplougbs are at work. The engine and tank
are 19 feet long, aud weigh about 12 tons. Another
exhibition will be given to-day.”
Sxcrrtaby Cobb and tba Sxhatorsbip—Tsk
Movements of the Sbox9Bio!UBts.--“ Iod,” the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun ,
thus writes from Washington: .
“ I mentioned in my letter yesterday that Mr.
Cobb had informed his friends in Georgia, the day
before the Presidential election, that Ae would not
accept the appointment of United *£UteS Senator
in case Lincoln should be lt
is sald.that he still adheres to' this determination,
though hU friends have a decided majority in the
Legislature:
“ It is nop quite certain that South Carolina will
go out of the union next December, even if she go
alone. Whether she wiUEtiMfhe co-operation of
few or many States, will depend
upon circumstances foreseen.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE,
Letter from “ Occasional.^
ot The Press.!
Washington, Nor, 18,1800
There seems to bo a manifest indisposition on
tho part of tho tlnion papers in the South to at*
taoh any importance whatover to the declaration
of Mr. Vloe President Breokinridge against tho
organization of the enemies of the ceontry. Tho
LonisviUo Democrat, tho St Louis Republican)
and other influential journals, rogard anything
ooming from Mr. Breokinridge with contompt. I
regret this, beOaudo, while it had been demon
strated that the Vice President has been a ohiof con*
tributor to the overthrow of tho Domobratio party
in the late election, tiiis is no time tb allow perso
nal grids to intervene when the welfare bf the
llepublio is to be scoured. We have eudered sufli
oiently from these intestine broils. The wiso man
accepts the repentance of the penitents with joy,
and does not remind thorn of tho error he forgives.
I therefore hope that Mr Breokinridge will speak
out, and I am encouraged from the tone of his own
immediate organ, tho Lexington Statesman, of a
lato date—in which thero appears a Tory earnest
tlnion artlole, that he will do so. The meeting at
his own homo, wbieh took place on Monday eve
ning last, was an immense outpouring, attended by
men of all particß. The president was Thomas H.
Clay, the Bomof Henry Clay, and the resolutions
as follows:
[I give them because thby aro tho iiUerdnbes of
the sontiihents of the people around tho homo of
John O. Breokinridge, and the grave of Honry
Olay, and because thoy slate tho case dearly and
frankly.]
“ Resolved) By the people of Payette county, in
Convention assembled, irrespeotive of party, that
Kentuoky, in addition to the great national con
siderations wbioh attach her with unflinohing
fidelity to the Union, has a peculiar and looal inte
rest in its preservation which is not felt by the
Southern States that are situated with the gulf on
one aide of them and a tier of BlaVo States upon
the other. Kentuoky occupying a contra! posi
tion in the Confederacy, is shut out from inter
course with the woila except through tho sur
rounding States. She is thereforo dependent upon
the Union for the right of exportation and im
portation, for the right of ingress and egress; and
being exposed for seven hundred miles to a free
State border, sho is dependent upon the Union for
seourity in the possession of her Blaves, and for the
protection of her people from oivll war. That, in
our opinion, the permanent oontinuanoe of slavery
in Kentuoky depends upon the oontinuanoe of the
Union, and the ultimate peaoeful aud profitable
existence of slavery in tho Southern States depends
upon the oontinuanoe of tho barrier wbioh the
border slave States now afford them against
Northern aggression. In view of these great in
terests, Kentuoky is compelled to maintain the
UnioD, and she appeals to tho South, as a brave
and chivalrous people, to stand by the Union, ns
the only hope for the preservation of our great na
tional prosperity and tho preservation in pence oi
oar {Southern institutions.
“ Resolved, That tne elcotion of Abraham Lin
ooln to the Presidency of the United States, as
muoh as we shall daploro the event, affords no
cause for a dissolution of tho Union. That if he is
eleoted aooordlng to tho Constitution of the United
States, he will be, whon inaugurated, rightfully
Its President, and should be maintained as such by
all true and loyal oitizons of all seotiona.
“ Resolved) lhat under the Federal Constitu
tion the States possers no right either to secede
from the Union or to nullify a law of Congress
constitutionally enaoted
“ Resolved, That as far as depends upon us, we
will Btand by, support, and uphold the Union,
against all attacks from without or within, and
against all nltratsm, whether at tho North or
South.”
The President is busily engaged in preparing bis
last annual message. Whether he will spoalr his
own thoughts, or those of hisSeoossion Secretaries,
remains to bo seen. There is no doubt on the
minds of those who know hiß reel sentiments that
he entertains certain dangerous notions on the right
of a State to secede from the Union-notions not
harmonious with his support of General Jackson’s
proclamation in 1832—but intended to support thb
new reading of Stato Eights insisted Upon by
Messrs. Slidell, Toombs, Cobb, and others. The
Postmaster General, Colonel Holt, and the Secre
tary of War, Governor Floyd, aro both very deci
ded in their utteranoeß in favor of the Union.
Colonel Holt you will recollect as tho same who
made the eloquent speeoh in favor of Richard M.
Johnson, in the Demooratio National Convention of
1840. Ho is for the Union all over, and, if the is
sue Is made in the Cabinet, will no doubt be equal to
his high reputation as an orator and a patriot. Gov.
Floyd represents that portion of Virginia which
baa always taken ground against the fire-eaters.
He has never had any real sympathy with Mason
or Wise. His prejudices and feelings go with tho
masses of Western Virginia, and ho is too shrewd
and keen not to percoive that, whon he returns to
the Old Dominion, his interests will be found on the
side of those who are standing by tho Confederacy
as it is. Attorney General Black talks learnedlyi
with a Bbakspeaienn brogue on his tongue, of the
value of Southern oommereo to the froe States,
and the danger of using force to compel a se
ceding State to roturn to the Union, but doos not
seem to have advanced far enough to appreciato
the importance of vigorous and prompt counsel to
the part of his master, the Executive. G (moral
Cass shakes his bead lugubriously, and contents
himself with lamentations, and Secrotary Touoey
Is oharaoteristioally neutral. He pondors ovor the
figures sotting forth tho voto of Connecticut at
tho late oleotion, and seems ocoupied more with
reflections as to his own future than with oaloula
tions ns to tho future of tho country. Ho is a true
Yankee.
In the midst of theso divisions, the President is
left to tako care of himself. If he does not come
up to all the expectations of the firo-eaters thoy
will denounce him bitterly, and if ho doos he will
destroy himsolf with the great <ne peonle.
Why don’t ho ecuO. Awws Kendall, who lives
_n*“ r tbia city,"and who knew what Goneral Jack
son thought of secession and nullification, and take
from him the advice that Mr. Kendall will no doubt
be too glad to give ?
The newspapers of the border slave States are
exceedingly indignant at the threatened with
drawal from the House and Scnato of tho Repre
sentatives and Senators from the cotton States.
They dcnounco such a withdrawal as a base be
trayal of thorn, and a surrender in advanoe to the
Administration of Mr. Lincoln.
After oil, tho strugglo in the South, outside of
the Palmetto State, Is best understood by tho f&ot
that the Bell and Douglas men aro resolved to eon
quer the Democratic organization in their respec
tive States, and to force the Secessionists to tho.
wall by compelling them to raise the Disunion flag.
Alexander H. Stoutens, of Georgia, is an intellec
tual and pbysio&l wonder. The last time I eaw
him, some three years ago, he seemed to be on tho
verge of the grave; and yet this man, with his
siokly appoaranoe and emaciated frame, has
swelled into almost gigantlo proportions in view of
the awful ortais depending upon the South. He is
the soul of the Union movement all over tho
South. Ho eent his brother from Georgia to
Illinois, to conduct Judge Douglas into the slave
States, and when tho Little Giant arrived In
Georgia he presented him to the people in a
epeeoh of splendid and memorable oloquenoo. He
and Horsohel V. Johnson aro only watting the op
portunity to force the enemies of the Confedcraoy
under the Disunion flag, and the same thing may
bo said in regard to those who co-operate with
Stephens and Johnson In Alabama, Mississippi,
and Louisiana. These men have their own party
and political interests to care for. They know that
the suggested reasons for the withdrawal from the
Union are entirely nnfoundod, but they wish the
fire-eaters to make an issuo with public opinion, in
order to test the senaeofthe South on that question.
Occasional.
To Col. Jobs W. Forney. Editor of The Tress.
—Dear Sir: The following is an extr&ot from a ro
portorial artiole in the Sunday Mercury , of No
vember 18,1860:
“ The seventh of Deoember is fixed for the exe
cution of James Miller. * * * Sheriff
Kern has been unremitting in his attention to the
condemned, but his only thanks is a volley of
ourses at every visit to his oell. The Sheriff In
formed Miller, on the oooasion of his last visit, that
he should want for nothing, that he had but to
make his wishes known and he should be gratified.
Miller, in roply, heaped abuses on tho Sheriff, and
told him he didn’t want to eee him any more, ex
cept in hell.”
The above does gross injustice to James Miller.
I have visited him throo times, accompanied each
time by Mr. Gilpin, my solfoltor, and onco by Mr.
Chase, my chief deputy, also.
Tho hearing of tho prisoner, in my presence and

THE PRESS*—PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1860,
Very little need be written about tho theatres
aod other places of public amusements, this week.
Mr. Booth’s engagement, at Aroh-strcet Theatre,
dosed on Saturday evening, and was extremely
suooofisful His performance in “ The Fool’s Re
venge,’* whbro lio had to create tt neW ohafaoter, as
it were, has showfi him to pose&SS grflatef ability
than tho public had horotoforo given hitd credit
for. The play itself, “oonveyed,” as it is, from
Victor Hugo’s well-known drama, has not muoh
merit | it was Mr. Booth’s performance which
mainly made it successful. As it was published,
by T. H. Laoejr, in Lohdon, “ TheFoolVßevenge’J
ttditnob be the exclusive property 'of Mr. Booth,
or any other persofi, in this country.’ Mr. Booth’s
, Hamlet has also shown bow his mifid is maturing.
He had a tendenoy to the extravagance called
raid, when iie flrat played in this oitjr, but
this has gradually subsided,- and Ills doting is
as subdued and natural as can be ddslfed. By
the wny, Mr. Giles has to be mentioned as pro
ducing a new stage effect in Hamlet.” Ho played
tho part of the (wbioh, tradition tollS'ury
was the oharaoter represented by Shakspoare him
self.) and gave the audience tho nbvelty of « ghost
with boots that creaked l This ovoning, Mr. J. S.
Clarke, who has let the pub]io soo too little of him
this season, has his benefit at the Arcb-street The
atre The porformancos will consist of the comedy
of“ Everybody’s Friend;” the Amazonian March,
from tho “ Naiad Queen J” cotnlo dancing, by Mr.
IVc6d, -find thb how raClb-dfaibb, bulled “Thd
Lonely Man of the Ocean.”
, On Friday evening, Mr, Shewell, (who was mar
ried tp handeomo.and olever Mies Rose Bkerrett,
exactly a week ago,) will play }J r erner, for . his
benefit, in Loid Byron’s well-known play. This
programme will also include “ a thrilling Sea Ro
mance,” name not yet announced, in whioh Mea
dames Drew and Sbewell, Miss Mary Wells,
Messrs. Wheatley, Clarke, Shewell, &0., will per
form.
A young lady, named Miss Isabelle
will make her first appenranoe at iValirak*Hteei
Theatre, this evening. B he is almost a novioe,
from Boston, but is said to exhibit considerable
promise, and in addition to natural advantages of
personal appearance and youth, is reported to
have been studying for tho profession whioh she is
now entering. A new tr&gedicnno, with Intellect,
has every chance upon the stage at present. A
pretty t&oe, a neat figure, and a handsome
wardrobe are fine accessories, T>nt when unaccom
panied by taiont, can aohieve mediocrity only.
Miss Freeman’s dehut here will boos Julia) in the
play of “Tho Hunohbaok,” supported by Mr.
Adams as Sir Thomas Clifford, and Mrs. Anna
Cowell as Helen. This play, In common with al
most all adapted for a debutante, has the misfor
tuna of being rather- too VreU knotVn. it ifi unfor
tunate that good now plays—of the olas£> likd
Knowles’s, called tho legitimate drama—are as
soaroo as fiT8t : ol&&B new-performers. We shall be
glad to find Miss Freeman’s performance realizing
tho beßt expectations of hor friends. It is not the
bestpolfoy, we must say, to preface it with a roar
ing farco. Time was, nor far distant, whon wb
had the play first, and the faroo to coflolude with.
The programme of McDonough’s Olympio Thea
tro, for this evening, shows that there be two
Riokarda in tho field. “ The Lonely Man ot the
Ocean ; or, the Night before tho Bridal,” which
will bo played at Arch-street Theatre, for Mr.
Clarke's bonciit, will also be produced at the
Olympio, whore it has been in preparation for tho
last three weeks. We shall make a point of wit
nessing both representations, as a tnatier *of
curiosity as well as of oritioism. At the Olympio,
where ho has a superior stock-company, Mr.
MoDonough will himself appear ns Adam. Bash
ford) “ tho Lonely Man.” Tho play will be pre
ceded with a faroo, which, as we have already
remarked, reverses Ihe usual order of per
formances.
At Sanford’s, whore tie opportunity of making
a popular hit at any passing sensation is rarely
negleoted, the specialty, at present, is “ Van Hum
bug’s Menagerio,” and a capital subjeot it is for a
burlesque. Dancing, singing, and Ethiopian per
formances make up the remainder of tho' pro*
gramme.
Messrs. Birch and gharpley, with Frank Brower
and a baker’s dozen of performors, opon an Ethio
pian Opera House, this evening, in Jayne’s Com
monwealth BuildiDg, Chestnut street, above Sixth.
If properly managed, this undertaking, in one of
tho best locations in the city, is sure to euoooed.
Blondin, the Niagara rope-walker, who attracted
orowda to the Continental Theatre, Jest week, has
been ro engaged for six nights more. Madigan’s
Girons Company has got an accession of perform

Tho Germania Orchestra’s Publio Rohoarßals (a
stupid name for first-class performances) have

customed and well-deserved success.
The Academy of Musio is to be openod next week
by an opera company, ohief in which aro Colspn,

will be a ohorus that can sing, and an orchestra
oapable of playing in tune. It is stated that the
performances are to bo limited to four nights a
week, whioh Is ode too many.
In tho Philadelphian correspondence of tho New
York Programme — a journal whioh we never
thought would have lent itscU to any thing so con
temptible and wicked as slander and falsehood—it
is deolared that Mrs. Anna Cowell, the leading
comedienne of thc Walnui-at**^ <tl * fllvw *»
«ugatea, erjolnbd in a conspiracy “ to write down”
Miss Annie Wilks, of tho samo theatre. The rac
live ot this impudent sepusation is readily percep
tible, as well as tho cptccno influenoe whioh un
doubtedly has suggested, and probably p&ld for it.
A weokly (and extremely weakly) journal in this
olty, undisguisedly under tbo same influence, has
republished this attack. Miss Wilks, with a rea
diness and candor which aro most creditable to her
sense of justice and gratitude, has wrltton a note
to Mrs. Cowell on this snbjeot, which wo here pub
lifh, by request:
“Mr Dear Mrs Cowell: “I dcoiare most
“solemnly that the attack copied in the Atlas ins
“ boen made through no instrumentality of mine
On the contrary, I doeply regret tbo mistaken
“ feeling that diot&tcd it. I have no earthly roa*

Terrible Explosion in the State Prison,
at Auburn, Nkw York.—The Auburn. Advertiser
of Wednesday evening ssys:
“ A boiler in the machine shop of Sheldon A Co.
exploded this afternoon about 1 o'clock, with ter
rible forco, scattering ruin all round, and badly
injuring the shop building and its contents. The
noito of tbe explosion was heard all ovejr tho city,
alarming our inhabitants and ore&ting great 'ex
oitement. The engine boiler was situated in a
small briok house adjoining the main building, and
this houso was completely destroyed. Tbe main
building was also damaged to the amount of seve
ral hundred dollars. Tbo engine was fofcty horso
power, and was blown into four separate pprts, one
Sart being moved to tho west forty or fifty feet
ne was blown over tbe main building, landing
in tho centre yard. Another was blown over
tbe main building and the west Prison wall,
landing in the Insane Asylum yard; and the fourth
piece going over tho south wall, and landing near
John Curtis' coal yard, a distance of near fifty rods.
One of tbe parts, it was thought by many who saw
it, was blown at least five hundred feet in the air.
The shop is about two hundred foot in length, and
in tbo end near tho boiler, thomaobtnery, tools and
fixtuieß were scattered in utter confusion; hardly a
window or sash but what was broken. In thebentre
of the room, one hundred feet from the boileb, Mr.
N- Davis, the keeper, sitting in his aooustomed
scat, was thrown to the floor. In the office of the
oompany, at the extreme west end, two hundred
feet from the boiler, two window sashes were re
moved from their plaoe.
“What is more remarkable is that no moro per*
eouai injury was done. Gilbert Wooley had an.arm
brokon; Wm Wooifer a rib broken; both convicts.
No othors injured.
“The boiler is, of courso, a totol loss—sovon or
eight hundred dollars, also causing a great loss of
time, there being, we believe, aeventy-flvo hands
in tbo shop, and this being tho only
power. It will nooessarily take three or four
weeks to roplaoe it.”
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
United States Circuit Court —Judge
Calwalader —David Mathews vs. The Philadel
phia and Trenton Railroad and the Camden and
Amboy Railroad Company. This was an applica
tion for an injunction to prevent tbe defendants
from using a “spark arrester,” which is alleged
to bo an infringement of plaintiff's patont. Oa
Saturday morning a demurrer was argued on tho
part of the defondants, but the court overruled it.
District Court — Judge Shwwood* —
Bfigh vs The American Fire Insurance Company.
Before reported. The argument of counsel ocou
fied tho MUro session of the court on Baturday.
d charging the jury, Judge Bharswood reserved
two points—one, whether the plaintiff, Mrs. Bligh,
ooula recover without showing a separate estate
out of which tho policy was secured, and the
other, whether she oould recover without first sub
mitting to tho company's proposition to appoint
appraisers to value the stock damaged. The jury
will rontlor a verdiot this morning.
Common Plbas—Judge Ludlow.-Stull
vs. Stull’s Estate. This oase, whioh has occupied
the oourt for several days, was concluded on BatuT
doy morning, with a verdiot for plaintiff. It wna
a loigned issue to test the ownership of a oertain
promissory note, and a peculiarity of tho oase was
tho fact that Mr Ftull, the plaintiff, although no
lawyer, managed his own cause, and did it well;
notwithstanding tho old adage, ho was successful.
Quarter Sessionb—Judge Allison —A
oourt was held in the Nisi Prius room for the pur

TOPULAR DELIRIUM IN CHARLESTON.
The Now York Herald of yesterday publishes
the following sensation despatch from Charleston :
Charleston, Nov. 17, 1860
The people inaugurated the revolution at eleven
o’clock this morning. Oar citizens ar® out ev
wiawa Our leading importing merchants have
erected a mammoth polo near the Charleston Ho
tel, and the hoisting of the Stato flag on ithos been
duly celebratod. "iho pole wan made of Carolina
pine, one hundred feet high, and surmounted by
the cap of Liberty. Cables were stretched across the
streets to prevent the passage of vehicles. Theie
was a Uenso orowd, extending over two sqnare3, on
Meeting street
The neighboring house tops were crowded with
people. Thousands of ladies of the highest re
speojabillty thronged the balconies and windows,
waving their handkerchiefs. Impromptu stands
were eroded, and the principal merchants took
seats The flag was then hoisted, amid the tre
mendous cheering of the populace, and the great
est exoitemont evor known here
When tho cheering succeeding thehoiating of tho
flag subsided, Rev. C. P. Gadsden made tbe follow
ing prayer:
“Ob, God! our refuge and strength, the shield
of our help and the sword of our excellency, we
come before Thee to express our dependence upon
Thy succor, and our peed of Thy guid&noe and de
fence. The liberties with whioh Thy protection
Mossed our fathers being imperilled, we ask Thy
favor and aid Inspire us with courage, with a
spirit of selt-sacrifice, with a love of law and order,
and with dependence upon Thee. Bless our State,
and hor sister States, in thisgreatorisis. May thoy
act as bccometh a moral and religious people.
Conseoralo with Thy favor the banner otliborty this
day hung in the heavens. May the oity over whioh
it floats bo in Thy graoious keeping. Shield our com
merce on tho seas, and proteat our homes and fire
sides. May agriculture bring her stores to our
mart, and order and quiet abide in our streets, if
it be Thy will. Avert from our land the horrors
of war; but whatever we maybe oalled upon to
endure, be Thou our fortress and defence. O God !
onr fathers have declared unto us the noble works
which Thou didst in their days. Continue Thy
goodness to us their children, and make us that
happy people whose good is tho Lord, through
Jesus Christ, eur Redeemer. Amon.”
‘ After tbe prayor speeches wero made by Messrs.
Barker, Robertson, Canneau, Hammond, and
Northrup.
The Washington Artillery paraded, and fired ono
hundred guns as tho flag went up. Bells were
rung, and the band played the Marscllatse Hymn.
This fired up tho French element of our popula
tion. After the Marsellaise, tho band played the
“ Miserere,” from “Trovatore,” for tho Union.
The flog is white, with a palmetto tree in tho
centre, and bears the words “ Animas assibusque
parati.” At tho same time the Charleston Hoioi,
the Mills Houso, and other large hotels, flung oat
the Palmetto flag.
All this ocourrod in tho fall blaze of the noonday
sun, and the people vowed that tho stars and stripes
should never wavS ago. in in Charleston. Then
spooking began Tho addresses were short but
stirring, and all were from persona engaged in
business, and who seldom meddle in pnblio affairs
This was emphatically a movement of the peoplo
and not of politicians. Tho speakers all addressed
the crowd as “Citizens of tho Southern Ropublio,”
and said this was a pledge of Southern commorce
to support tho great movement of indepoodenoe
p nr, DE the speaking processions poured in from
different sections of the oity, with mueio and oan
non, eaoh saluting tho Palmetto banner..
On the dwellings there are hung out bancors
with such mottoes as “Now or nevor; 11 “No stop
backward “ Tho argument is ended “ Stand
to your arms;’’ “South Carolina goes it alone—
her trumps, Magrath, Colcook, and Conner—with
theso sho claims a march.”
Tho tri-color flog was hung out from tho theatre,
with the words inserted —Dteii et nos droits.
Secession badges have become universal. Even
children are all adorned by mothers with the blue
ribbon. All classes aro arming for the contingency
of ooereion. Revolvers and patent firearms arc
selling liko hot oakes.
Hot a ship in the harbor has the Federal flag
flying* but far down the bay it can still be dis
cerned flying over Fort Moultrie.
Thero was another great demonstration to night.
Tho stand near the pole was beautifully illumina
ted. Speeches were made by Captain Thomas, of
tho Stato Military Aoadomy, who assured tho au
dience that the Cadets wero ready at a moment’s
notioe ; also, by Chancellor Carroll, end Messrs. <
Mikell, Cooper, Teiment, Kirkwood, and others.
To-day the citizens are raising a great clamor
for the banks to suspend now. It is supposed that it
may bo done about tho middlo of next week. The
notes hero, however, aro »s good as gold.
The Bank of Charleston tc-doy hoisted tho Stato
fla K-
Notwithstanding the stringency in money affairs,
ihe city is lively and business quite brisk. -
The Convention will probably sit a week, but tho
first thing done will no secession Megrath is
muoh talked of as tho commissioner to settle wiifa
the Government the toms of secession. He is
learned, firm, and cool
Public confidence in tho success and beneficial
results of tho revolution grows stronger daily.
