TITE LATEST WAR NEWS The fullest particulars of the late battle of Ball's Bluff that could be obtained np to the hour we went to press. with a list of the wounded, will be found in our telegraphic reports.. In the midst of the gloom Caused by its 4igasirolAs resiAltki, it is grati fying to know that in other quarters of the country our arms have been victorious. We publish on our first page further particulars of the repulse of Zollicoffer by Col. Garrard, in Kentucky, and of the recent victories gained hi AnktoUti. The de fenders of the Union in those States hare been greatly encouraged by these successes, and look forward with confidence to a series of brilliant triumphs. • The arrival of the Pennsylvania regiments at Louisville has had a very inspiriting effect. They have been welcomed with the proverbial hospitality of Kentucky. The Di morrat says that after their debarkation from the fleet, they took up their line of march for the Nashville depot, passing in review before General Sherman and staff, at the Galt House, and moving out First street to Broad way. The column was more than a mile in length, four abreast, including the infantry and artillery. The latter consisted of eight, six-pound brass guns, and eais.sons complete. including army forge, &c., and one hundred and twenty horses." They went into camp at Oakland, on Tuesday. The correct accounts of the fight en Santa Boas Island, which was originally represented to be a rebel victory, show that it was in reality a costly failure, and that they are mortified and dis heartened by their signal repulse. This view of the battle is fully substantiated by the letter of our special naval correspondent on board the United States frigate .:17, , ,g0rn, and by the statement of Mr. Packard. a Inion man, who recently escaped from Pensacola.. The letter of our special correspondent on board at- ett , amer Allo»lie, one of the vessels connected with the great naval expedition, will be found deeply interesting. The nation anticipates grtat results from that important enterprise, and we truet these expectations will be realized. The fleet has evidently the power to strike a vigorous blow at any point it may be assail. The trial of William Smith, one of the pirates belonging to the rebel privateer Jeff. _Davis, was concluded yesterday, by the rendition of a verdict of guilty against the prisoner. The charges of Judge:- Grier and Gadiotlader wore marked with great force anti ability. A motion for a new trial was made, bat even if it is not granted, and the prisoner is sentenced, we presume he will not be executed, while so ninny of our soldiers are in the poseceelon of the esbels. AT LAST we have the details of the affair at Ball's Bluff or Edwards' Ferry ? on Tuesday last. They will create alarm and grief in the loyal States, particularly in Pennsylvania, a number of whose sons were in the command of the lamented Colonel BARER. We publish A full list of,the wombs!, and as many pardon lays in regard to the killed and missing as we could obtain. We have no heart to comment upon this tragedy, so sad and so unexpected, and we have certainly no wish to complain. At a Moment when we are looking forward to a grand and essential victory for our dear country, we have few words to give to a de feat. However we may grieve with thoSe who are grieving for the loss of their dearest and nearest, we feel that the best way to re member and to revenge the patriotic dead is to teach the living the duty of defending their threatened liberties. THE TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGE of the Mayor of San Francisco, California, dated yesterday, was received on the same day by Mayor Woon, of Nev York! It appears in our columns this morning, and is a prattled 'vin dication of the liberal legislation of the last Congress of the United States. We live in an extraordinary age ; what required months to achieve, less than ten years age, is now ac complished in a few minutes! California speaks to 'Washington and New York with instant and instinctive patriotism. The thun der of the ballot-boxes is fitly accompanied by the lizhthing - of the telegraph, in fai'Ot of the Union. WE NOTICE numerous complaints as to the manner in which our soldiers are clothed and fed, sometimes coating from the soldiers them selves, and more frequ:-.ntly from newspapers. As a contrast to this spirit, we reprint an ex tract from a letter lately received in this city, written by Captain SAMUEL RINGWALT, of Chester county, who, at the age of sixty-two, accepted the position of quartermaster in Ge neral ➢IcCALI.'S division, and who displays in all his actions as nmch ardor and sincerity in the cause as many younger men : We are sleeping on our. arms, and expect to more at a moment 's svarnity, We have lately had so Many order: enurZermftatling erdar.4, that they no longer eseite us. I live on the common rations of a soldier. I have lost all relish for but ter, cream, and milk; have forgotten how they taste, and would not exchange my food for Wil lard's bill of fare. The common tent life and bed ding agree with me admirably, and, thank God, I never enjoyed Letter health and vigor.• • LETTER FROM ,‘ OCCASIONAL." WASHINGTON, Oct. 25, 1861. The natural and national impatience of our people, so freely exhibited in reference to the operations of our land forces, is beginning to manifest itself in regard to what is charged as the delay of the navy in attacking the Southern coast towns and fortresses. You, of course, published yesterday the ample double contra diction of the boastful falsehood claiming rebel victories at the mouth of the Mississippi and in the harbor of Pensacola. Late intel ligence from one of our United States frigates Off Fort Pickens discloses the fact that, so far from being worsted in these affairs, at least in that quarter, the result was a substantial gain to our arms; and no doubt when the materials and munitions now being conveyed to different points by the naval ex pedition ere put in use, we shalt hoar of other gallant achievements. I must repeat, what I have frequently asserted, that nothing can be looked for from our fleets until November or December. An experienced sea captain sus tains the theory that the best months of the whole year fur naval movements are the months of November and December; that the heavy gales—so devastating along the Atlantic in the winter—do not begin until about the Ist of January ; and besides, if we had landed our troops on the Southern seaboard during the autumnal and sickly season, there is no esti mating the nninber of lives we should have lost by the havoc of disease among unacclimated men. The public has been gratuitously in lbrmed that the great naval expedition has sailed, and now we may begin to hope for suc cess in that quarter.. General McClellan does not seem to have lost any of his confidence and energy since the affair at Hall's Bluff. He is in the highest spirits, and I learn, from the best authority; that the army under his command is equal to one hundred and fifty thousand well seasoned troops, and ready t) be led to the attack at any moment. Although this affair was un doubtedly a disaster, and, under ordinary circumstances, might produce delay, yet in contrast with the enormous army under his control, and his long-prepared programme it may be regarded as a matter of comparatively subordinate importance. It ought to be borne in mind that, in our advance into Virginia, we are contending against a foe that knows his ground, and against the influence of secret enemies, who convey everyitem of intelligence to the rebel leaders. Ido not doubt that in a -very short time von will receive good news, and that the men so long panting for an oppor tunity to meet the traitors to our country in. au open field will be gratified.

WASIIISCITON, Oetober 25, 1851 Flinn Our Special Correspondent I have just returned front Edwards' Ferry. There were two engagements. One at Edwards' Fern!, in whieh the New York Second. Dmics Minnesota regiment, detachments front Major Mix's cavalry, the Massachusetts Nineteenth, New York Thirty-fourth. the Seventh Michigan, and Colonel Mrnenv's Pennsylvania regiment—in all, eighteen hundred men, with two sans—were en gaged. tieneral GortmAx assumed command on the Maryland side, having charge of transportation. Colonel TOM PE IN s commanded on the Virginia side. Ile crossed on Sunday last, and, on the afternoon of that day, NTRillig R lili@ 4 2f tattle en the hills. shelled the woods for two hours, but saw no enemy. Com panies of skirmishers were sent forward, escorted by cavalry. They advanced a mile anti a half from the shore, and lay on their arms all night. On Monthly the forces slOWly advanced. On Tuesday morning an Indiana regiment arrived, with a com pany of Sharpshooters belonging to LANDER '3 brigade, to act as skirmishers. As the Sharp shooters advanced, the enemy opened fire, the Mississippi Thirteenth being among the num ber. A company or the Seventh] Michigan Re giment took the bridge two miles from the Po tomac. General LAxoxu arrived on Tuesday afternoon, but refused to take command, being unwell. lie offered to do anything in his power to assist Colonel Tu3rrKlcs. AS he rode along the line the pickets of the enemy wounded him in the leg. About 4 o'clock on that day a sharp skirmish occurred. Two howitzers Opened on them, when they retired behind embankments. Many of the rebels WON killed and wounded. These victims were removed at night in wagons. At this time the Federal forces numbered 4,400 men ; with two guns. and thirty cavalry. Two men were killed and one wounded on our side. All Tuesday night the cars were heard running from Winchester on the Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad. Large rein forcements clone to the enemy. We had twenty thousand men on the Maryland side, but having uo transportation, with the river behind our forces ; tienerni IteenEmm - x, who by thi, time hod ar rived. directed our forces to reeross the river. Gen. Buss crossed to Virginia on Tuesday afternoon, but came baek and made his headquarters at Ed.- wards' Ferry, where his division now is Conrad's Ferry is five miles above Edwards' Ferry. There Colonel BAnni crossed at 3 o'clock on Sun day morning with a force composed of the first bat talion California Regiment, who received orders to be at Conrad's Ferry by sunrise. Provisions were cooked and other arrangements made, and under the command of Colonel Rta . nn they arrived. When they got to the ferry, they found that the Massachusetts Fifteenth and four companies of the Tammany Regiment had crowed during the night. The means of transportation were two flatboats, capable of carrying thirty men each, and a small metallic life-boat. Opposite Conrad's Ferry is Harrison island, three miles long. The Virginia shore is steep and rugged, with a narrow path; al lowing Inert to climb up in single file.. Qn bionday afternoon, before the battalion all crossed, Colonel Divan arrived, and about two o'clock assumed command, his forces numbering 1,800 men. About one hundred yards from the shore he formed his line of battle The Massachusetts Men ad vanced as skirmishers, firing on the rebels, who re. turned the fire, but gradually fell back within a mile or two of Leesburg. Suddenly the enemy opened fire from concealed rifle pits, committing great harm Colonel RAKER came up to support the advance. - The country was full of under growth to the,right and left, and some of the enemy were concealed in a cornfield. Sharpshooters were stationed on trees to pick off our officers. The fight lasted three hours. It was inipoesiPle to PIA Mu forceineuts; and, though our men fought with des perate bravery, and numbers on the Maryland shore were eager to join them, a want of means of transportation kept them front going to the rescue. Col. BAKER was attired in a plain dress, on foot, marching among his men, and encouraging them, and, while forming the line for a bayonet charge, slightly in advance, and waving his sword, he was killed. The news of his death caused. one column to fall back in dismay. When the rebels advanced, the Federal forces charged savagely to obtain Cot. RA.22ll'g body. After a desperate fight, they suc ceeded in obtaining it. At sundown. the Federal forces commenced re treating, followed by large bodies of the rebels. In recrossing the river many were drowned, it be ing almost impossible to manage the unwieldy boots. The rebels took possession of the heights on the brink of the river to shoot our men us they were swimming over. The cause of the repulse is universally attributed to the want of facilities for transportation during the fight. Lieut. Col. WisrAn was not mortally wounded. Lieut. WILLIAMS is dead. Captains KARIM, OTTER. KEEFER j LiClltallantS PARKER KERNS, HOOPER, Haunts, and KENNEY, arc prisoners. Lieutenants WADE. TEMPLETON, YVIMEE ; Cap tains BURRELL and HICKS : were all wounded. Captain ltirrmAN, Lieutenants FISKE; and JOHN SON. arc safe. These aro all the officers .of the California Regiment who were engaged. The uninjured portion of the regiment of Colonel BAKER is now in its old camping ground. The Tannnany and Mamachusetts Regiments were eut up. The survivors are all in their old position_ J. R. Y. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. A Full and True Account of the Battle. A large number of persons related to men be longing to BAKER'S brigade are of course anxious to hear of their condition. I send you some e the incidents of Abe battle, as gathered from the con versation of the officers and men. • Lieutenant Colonel WISTAIL had only six hun dred and fifty men with him. The remainder of the reetneht were on picket duty, at the mouth of the Monocacy, under Major Panama'. The river at Conrad's Ferry is very deep, say 15 or 20 feet. Col BAKER was ordered to cross over with his brigade in two flatboats, or scows. There is an island in the middle of the river about 300 yards wide, on which the troop; first, landed. From the Wand to the Virginia shore the diatenee was about 500 feet, and the water very deep and rapid in its flow. To get across this Cot. BAKER was sup plied with only one scow and a small boat. On the Virginia side there is a bluff rising ab ruptly from the river's bank at an angle of forty five degrees. up this ascent the troops had to The bluff was thickly wooded, and covered with sharpshooters. As one boatload landed, these sharpshooters would open fire upon them, and be fore the second boatload could got aerosa moat of the preceding boatload wore wounded. It is well ascertained that the enemy were 4,5110 strong, and were under the command of General Ev.ta. They fought well, and suffered severely. It is supposed their loss in killed and wounded ie deckle that of our aide. They were well armed, (oh, the traitor novn !) but poorly clad, scarcely any of them having uniforms. Lieut. Colonel WISTATt behaved nobly, and dis tinguished himself by deeds of valor. He was se verely wounded shortly after getting into Action. He is doing well, and will not lose his arm. Col. BANE]: was as cool and collected as though he was on parade. When he discovered how impossible it was to break the enolny'S line with the small foree he had, and that it was impossible to retreat across the river. he declared his purpose to die rather than surrender. He placed himself in advance of his line, mid, waving his hat, cried. " Now. men. fol• low toe ; if we break them the victory is ours I" Instantly he was pierced with balls, and fell dead. A rebel approached the body in order to cm•ry oft' the Colonel's sword, as is supposed. Captain BLeitEL, of Company A, rushed at him, shot him dead, and brought, the body of the noble banger and soldier within the linos. Captain HARVEY, assistant adjutant general of the brigade, formerly an English officer, behaved heroically, and althogh severely wounded, still continued to discharge his duties. Only 1.500 of our men succeeded in crossing over the river. It was dark before Colonels BAITER'S, OWEN'S, and MOREHEAD'S regiments began to cross. When it was ascertained that our troops bad been repulsed, and the boat sunk on the other side of the island, and Colonel 13.1 an killed, these regiments were stopped from going over. The /aim were v. - batty excitca at hearing the shouts and firing across the river, and were all eager to go to the rescue of their com rades. And when finally they were ordered to re tire, they did so reluctantly, but in the best order possible under the circumstances. Col. JOSIII - A T. OWEN, of the Second Regiment, sacecetis Col. ItAKEit in commend of the brigade. lie is from Philadelphia, mid ism discreet and etfi dent officer, He commanded the Twenty-fourth ltegintent in the three-months service. The Barbarity of the Rebels Nearly every hour brings us a different account of the recent sad conflict near . Leesburg. or Ed wards- Ferry, or Ball's Muff. There is no deny ing the fact that a great mistake was made. The theory which gains most credence is that our officers were deceived by rebel spies whom they paid liberally, and were led into an ambuscade. The river was very high at the time. and there was but ono scow to carry our troops across. From all the various accounts. it seems that our troopS bad but three pieces of artillery with them, and they were taken over in the early part Of the day, and were subsequently captured by the rebels. We had no battery on this side to protect our troops after they had crossed over. Those who remained on this side were compelled to witness the slaughter of their brethren in arms without being able to render them any assistance. There bad been no provision made fur their crossing. From the best information that can be obtained this morning, we learn that our troops have again ail recrossed to this side, as the rebels were found to be in large force a few miles in front of them. Stragglers aro continually coming in. and from them we glean much additional information.' The brittle was not so disastrous as we might be led to suppose. We have not, evidently, lost more than four hundred, in killed. wounded, and missing. When the official reports to the departments reach you, this will pro bably be verified, But for tool bravery, no troops in modern history surpassed in determined courage and true discipline our troops engaged in the action. Old Pennsylvania and old Massa chusetts have covered themselves with undying glory. Cud the Thiipirs gists_ with her almost in vineible solthers. stood with them shoulder to shoulder. - There arc many circumstances and surroundings connected with the battle of Ball's Bluff which de serve to bo noticed. In the first place, the whole movement was rash, unnecessary, and it is said by gentlemen who are direct from Edwards' Ferry this morning, unadvised by high military authority. But Col. BAKER, brave as a lion, and other equally brave men, hare paid the penalty, If to the groat dead this terrible mistake is chargablo, "let the dead past bury its dead." The rebel loss, from what can be learned on the spot, was terrible. On the part of our troops it was open, honorable war fare, with all the utaget of eivilin4 war Observed. On the part of the rebels and traitors, it was a brutal massacre. They rifled the pockets of the dead and wounded, stripped them of every vestige of clothing, and in many cases cut the throats of the helpless on the field, or blow their brains out with revolvers. The Nineteenth Massachusetts Regiment, al though not in active battle; detailed Captain W. H. WILSON, with company 11, to take possession of Harrison's Island, who did. duty there more noble and humane than often falls to the lot of men. They held the island, and not only saw to the transport of the troops to Virginia. but to the re turn of the survivors and of the dead and wounded. The deeds of barbarity relafed by an eye-witness. who it a distingttislied member of the medical faculty of Philadelphia, perpetrated by these rebel fiends, are almost beyond the bounds of credi bility; but when wounded men were driven de liberately, naked, into the river, and then shot, it will tell of some of the least barbarous acts of this thieving and assassin chivalry. A gentleman who Came down this morning states that all our troops were withdrawn from the Vir ginia side yesterday. But a rumor was prevalent four miles from Edwards' terry that they were sent over again in the afternoon, to the number of 60,000, to march on Leesburg. and took possession of the place. stationing their pickets twu miles in advance, Cur men eXperießed ninny severe hard ships. In the Twenty-ninth Pennsylvania Regiment; Col. .1111:11PHY, orders were received on Monday night at 7 o'clock, to march immediately, and they left in high spirits for Conrad's Ferry. the band playing ti Carry me back to Old Virginny," and the. men singing and glorying in the near prospect of a fight. Adjutant Lureonn, Capts. ZULICII and LA - NE, of Co's. E and B, and Capt. RICKAJZDS, CO. I, were at the time absent in Washington upon busi ness of the regiment, but being telegraphed hur ried back by special conveyance, and arrived upon the ground with Gen, MeCLELLAN, before day light, to take charge of their commands. The re giment then received marching orders to Edwards' Ferry, where they all supposed the crossing was at once to commence to Virginia ; when, instead of these hungry and tired soldiers getting their breakfasts upon their arrival, they cleaned up their Minnie muskets, and prepared to use them_ The continued rain, from the first start until that moment. had rendered them almost useless, and before the work was done, marching orders were again received to go to Seneca Mills and Muddy Branch, nine and twelve miles down the Potomac, to guard the Maryland side front the Chain Bridge -to Edwards' Ferry. The poor. soldiers obeyed the order, as they obey all of them, with - alacrity, although they hoped to have had an opportunity to show their prowess in a better field, Colonel MIIIPHY has the full confidence of Ids men, and they will follow him anywhere, The loss to the California Regiment will be severely felt in Philadelphia. The death of Capt. CHARLES KOCHETISPERGEn, the proprietor of Blood's Dispitteh, is roported• But gellgli4gl who came down this morning say that his company was stationed some miles from the scene of battle, and that his reported death must be a mistake. But the universal sentiment in Gen. BANKS' divi sion, with both officers and men, is that this reverse of arms mutt and shall be obliterated by many glm rious triumphs, and the barbarous brutality of traitors shalt meet with something in the future that partakes more of retributive justice than oaths administered to petjurers. Returns from Edward's . Ferry. Gen. BANK'S telegraphed to the War Department tortlay that the killed on the battle field, on our side, would not exceed 75 (seventy-five.) This does not include those drowned in boats and in attempts to swim the river. In one boat which attempted to cross there were about 100: the boat swamped and 70 were drowned, and one 1911.9 wounded by a bullet from the enemy on the banks of the river. The missing. when the roll was called, yester day, was 900 ; but it is known that a large proportion of this number escaped to the woods, and, if not picked up and. made prisoners by the enemy, these will return to camp. It is known, hewever, that the rebels are in occupation of the ground above, below, and in rear of the field where the engage ment took place, and our men will have some diffi culty in eluding their vigilance. During yesterday quite a number of the nattered made their way back to the ranks, and, for some days to come, the number of missing will continue to diminish. Captain YOUNO, of Colonel BAKER'S regiment, informs me that the second battalion of the regi ment was not engaged. but the first battalion was in the hottest of the fire, and, when be left, the returns indicated a loss of 300 from the battalion, in killed, 'wounded, and missing. Generals Banks and Stone Return to Head quarters. Our troops have returned to their encampments. very Inch in the condition that our men returned to Washington after the Bull Run atlitir. Those who were present at the engagement say that our men resisted the enemy with heroic bravery, and were overcome at last only by the overwhelming power of a force vastly superior in numbers. They found the enemy rushing upon them from three sides of the field, and pouring a constant fire upon them from each direction. This fact is corrobora ted by an examination of the body of the gallant Colonel BAKER, which showed two perforations in the forehead and one in the breast, while another was discovered in the side from a bullet that passed in by the side of one erin and came out under the other. There is no doubt of the individual bravery of each soldier in the ranks of Colonel BAKER, while he, the bravest of the brave, was at their head. It. is said by many here (as the matter is criticised pro and con with intense interest) that Colonel BAKER Should have retreated; but Captain YOUNG, who was by his side, says there was no possibility of doing so. To retreat, either up or down, he would but advance into the fire of the enemy. A retreat to the river, Captain You Na states, would afford no better secu rity ; for they were without a force there to cover their retreat, and without facilities for crossing over the river. This statement of Captain rouxu is corroborated by others, and is, no doubt, correct.

Latest from General Banks' Command &maim,' natty. Oct, 24, I'. M.—Tho rebels during this afternoon were busily engaged in and around their fort between Leesburg and the river fronting on Edwards' Ferry. They had previously removed their ordnance, but from their move meats it was judged that they were engaged la re pintas them. The fort is located on the crest of the first range of hills from the river. several hundred yards to the left of a piece of woods, with a breastwork connot ing it with and extending into or in rear of the wood& To the rear of this elevation is Leesburg. Parties of horsemen have at different times during the day come up to the fortifications ' and viewed our batteries ranged along the hill above the ferry. Between the fort hill and Leesburg, there (wt. dently rests n large rebel force. The moice from their camp-fires bas been seen all day. It is be lieved, however, that their main body lies nearer to. and directly opposite the ferry. They have not exposed themselves in any force, but their pickets and small reconnoitering parties have several times been seen. Paring the afternoon a train, consisting of about •100 wagons : appeared on a more distant hill to the right of Leesburg, and encamped there under the lee of a piece of woods. Towards dusk a considerable body of cavalry were seen approaching a farm house near the river, a mile above the ferry, where, during the after noon. sever,al bodies of officers had imievisit.:4. It is thought that this house had been occupied as the headquarters of some brigade or division. The regiments engaged in the affair of Monday have not yet completed their reports of the losses iagaltted. That , will be made as perfect as pug:A ble, and returned to-morrow. The various regiments located in this region arc endeavoring to make themselves as comfortable as the limited facilities of the country will admit. Enivanns' Fanny. October 25.—Last night our scouts - went over the river, and picketed the shore for half a mile back. and north of Goose Creek. .Not a sign of man or horse was heard. except tha splash of the oars of a boat some distance up tha river. This morning. the rebel picket? were seen at Tarieus pair & Oh or neer the river, above the ferry. some are mounted, while others are on foot. No large bodies have been perceived ; but it is known that they are concealed by the wooded range of hills half a mile back from the river. They still occupy the fort, but apparently not in any great force ; although a very heavy body lies directly in their rear. At midnight there was continued firing at the mouth of the Monoeaey. It resulted from the shelling of a rebel camp by our batteries. The enemy did not reply to our shots with any large guns. At the hendpiarters the affair is not spoken of as of arty great significance. The result of our firing has not yet been fully ascertained, beyond the feet that the enemy re treated from their position. Their number is re ported to have been small. Privates Tuttle, Clemens, Mather, and Raymond, of the Third. Wiseonsin regiment were killed, and private Ross of Co. C, Third Wisconsin ; Corporal Pratt, Co. A. Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, taken prisoner by the rebels. The Exchange of Prisoners. The question of an exchange of prisoners is be- ginnia'g to be discussed in various quarters. Com plaints are being sent forward by such of our officers andrmen now l in confinement at Charleston and Richmond, demanding action on the part of the Administration. The percentage of- prisoners held by the Confederate States is largely over the num ber confined at Fort Lafayette and elsewhere. Necessity, which is the mother of law. in all cases, may compel a disposition of this vexed question at an early day. Private accounts from the Upper Potomac, this morning, represent that the soldiers reported as missing are from time to time coining in, while others, who were carried down by the current of the river, arc known to be now under shelter in tenements on its banks.

Though the affair at Edwards' Ferry was not by his direction, yet he speaks of the men, with a single exception of some small portion of the artil lery, as having been entirely satisfactory-, The Cabinet. The Cabinet has never met under a more solemn sense of the responsibility that rests upon its de liberations than it has done to-day. Each member, before it assembled, at twelve o'clock, seemed to feel, and could not coneeal the feeling that, the nation was watching with intense interest the m ats of their deliberations, decisions, and actions.

THE CITY_ Public Amusements. ACADEMY OF biESIC.—The last of the " benefits," at the Academy, last evening, was greeted with a tolerable house. " P.etly, 7, the plot of Which is derived from a farce called the "Swiss Cottage." and the comic opera in French, " Les Noees de Jeannette.'' formed the staples of an entertainment that, if we are to believe the management, was the farewell of Brignoli and Hinkley, To Say the least, the pieces were inadequate to the artists and the occasion, being without passion, incident, or character. Brignoli in " Betly," not having an aria to sing, introduced one from the grand opera of " Anna Bolena." His duet with the basso was marked by all his native tenderness. Miss Ilinkley, a self possessed little actress, with a fresh. clear voice, made a pleasant feature of the part of Belly, and iyith his grandeur of style—somewhat out of place in comic opera—sang excellently, and with much applause. The piece was unmercifully re duced. so that a stranger obtained little idea of the fiction that underlies it.. "Les 11 ores de Jeannette introduced M. Dnbreuil —ishoce voice was so harsh and faint that he apolo gized in the heart of the performance—and Miss Kellogg. The latter looked and sang much better than on the previous evening. The .celebrated song of the piece was seldom better given, and, altogether. she seemed to have acquired in a day strength, expression, and sprightliness. The regular opera season will commence about February, although it is not improbable that, in the meantime, we shall have transient entertainments at the Academy. Next week Mons. Hermann appears, in slight of•hand performances. CONTINENTAL THEATRE.—The " Tempest "Twill be withdrawn after to-night, and on Monday a sensation drama, from the French, translated and adapted by a prominent Philadelphia attorney, will be produced for the first time in America. The drama in question, entitled the Siren of Paris," narrates the experience of a young girl who is em ployed by a noted roue and gamester to entice youths to a resort where they are robbed and murdered. The innocence of the heroine, and a Tad (Mr. Wheatley) who diecorere the oriumS, form features of the drama that cannot fail, if properly produced, to have a long popularity. The new scenery, properties, etc., of the play are said to be above mediocrity. Alit. FORREST IN BoSToN.—ME. Forrest's ap pearances in Boston have been a succession of brilliant triumphs worthy of his renown. Our Boston exchanges teem with commendations of his renditions, some of which are enthusiastic to a high degree, and others carefully analytic. We shall publish, next week, a carefully-written article, em bodying the orrent opinion of his merits. It is plain that these mature performances of the great tragedian have been worthy of his earlier efforts. Arrival of Refugees from Norfolk. TILE CASE OP LIEUT. PEGRAM--PNIOSISTS VIER, On the 19th hist, 0. telegraphic despatch from Wash. ington stated that the rebel steamer Nashville had run the blockade at Charleston, and left for Europe, having on board ox-Senators Mason and Slidell. It was said that they had been deputed ministers plenipotentiary to England and France, to receive the recognition of the Southern Confederacy, or, failing in that, to place their bantling Government tinder rho protecting shadow of one or both of them Powers. It was further stated, not by the Washington reporter, hilt by many of the Southern papers, that Limit. Pegram, formerly of the - United States army, was in ,command of the Nashville. By the arrival of a Philadelphian; who escaped from Norfolk about two weeks since, we are placed in a posi tion to incontrovertibly deny the latter assertion, and, therefore, by implication at least, to hapeaeh the truth folneee of the entire story.

When than robbery is committed by several, acting together, all are equally guilty. For need the money or goods taken he on the perm,. provided they he in the possession of the owner, such ac honsehold goods, or cattle in the field, or, 117 in this case, upon a vei, , el and its lading," as defined in the act. Third. The robbery must be committed on the " high seas " iyou believe the testimony, (width I need not repeat to you,) the elatruo t at thus &timid, moats to tin nilly establbbed. In flirt, if the tate rested here, the learned counsel of defendant scorn to , admit that they could not resist a eonvirtion. But it i 4 contended that, though property may be taken ss by violence on the high seas," yet if it be clone• by authority of a Shite in prosecution of a war agaillgt another Einar, the peraona acting lurk Ofteli ontlwri!r are not guilty of piracy and cannot hi• nunianea gneb. TLie is no doubt too•; for piracy has been defined , t as depredation on or near the sea without authority from any prince or State." (6 Bac. Abr.l63.J Those touring such authority are treated as enemies, or a.F.i having the privilege:a of eneinier, in open war. Titus, Turhe end Algerins, though acting Os freebooters On the ocean, (according to fir beeline •teal:inn,) could not Inc treated as pirates, because they acted under a COIIIIiii:331011 from Stoles uith Whollithe Government had treaties, and had aelmuledged to be htatee in the great family of na tions. But it does not Mllow that every band of conspi rators who may, combine together for the purpose of re bellion or revolution,_or overturning the Government or BittiOn of which they were eitizeni4 or subjects, become ipso /acre a separate and independent nv.mher of the great family of sovereign States. A successful rel Pallor! may be termed a revolution : lint until it has become such, it has for claim to be recognized as a member of the family, or exercise the rights or en joy the privileges consequent on sovereignty. "When a civil war rages in a foreign tie lion, or in our own, and one part separates front tlit old eat-All:led 001,1-11/11,11i 7 and emets itself into a distinct Government, the court"; or the United Stares must view ,rtelt. contested Govern ment as it is viewed by the legislative and executive de partment, of the Govermnent of the United States." Every Government is bound. by the law of self-pre servation,. tosuppress in,arr,ctioa..s, and the faei that the hunther and power of the insurgents may be so great as to carry on a civil war against their legitimate sovereign, will tot entitle them to be considered a State. The fact that a civil war exists for the purpose of suppressing a vr•m:lnsive evidence that tile G , ,verntnent of the United Staten refihos to acknowledge their right to be considered as emit. Consequently, this Court, Miring here to execute the laws of the United States, can view those in rebellion against them in no other light than traitors to their country, and those who assume by their sothotity It right to plunder the property of our citizens on the high seas as pirates and robbers. I do not think it itecosary, on Ow present OCCardOil, tai follow the wide range of questions which have been drawn into the discussion of this case by counsel, or to refute the sophisms tend. platitudes putt forth by specu lating theorists or Niftiest demagogues on the constitu tional right of any portion of this one natila, or of any of the States composing it, to destroy the Constitution and Union herause they are di•picased at the result of si t election. The ti,/ht to sowds. IC not to he found in the Constitution, either iu its letter or its spirit. If so, it would held° de se. I t is a I:overnment and Constitu tion ordained by the people of the whole United States for ell time, not a mere temporary compact of indepen dent and sovereign confederates. Judge the tree by its fruits, and we see the results of this miserable political heresy in the present situation of our country (we need not go to Mexico), with more than half a million of men in arms drenching our fields in blood. This fratricidal war is not only the fruit of this doc trine,-but the demonstration of its iniquity. What are our mighty armies arrayed for, but to compel, by force of artne, its aoknittrktdainOlit lir those whom reason can• not convince of its absUrdity ! Why prate about the right of an oppressed people to change their government by a revolution ! Can that justify the treason and re bellion of those who were never oppressed, but who seek to substitute a military tyranny for the purpose of trimmest mud oppression 1 Of the plea of dump!, I need only say that i. nut gam' indeed that there is not some evidence to support it; Ibr I should grieve to see these poor fellows, who have been led astray by wicked demagogues; become the scapegoats for the greater iniouitrof others. But the dispensation of mercy is not with us . . Your duty is to render a trite -verdict, and that of the court to pronounce the sentence of the law thereon. Whether, under an the rirctini, Broncos of the case, a pr o per policy might not enepotid its execution, is a question for the Executive to decide. Certain points have been presented to the court, on which we. are requested to instruct the jury. My opinion of them may be inferred from what I have already said, and I have requested my learned brother to notice them more particularly iu his remarks to the jury. Indge Cadwahnler then niblresmed the jury. CUAnGE CC Jroor CADWALADV.tt After giving an outline of the whole of the nroas, he eaid : The counsel for the proseention contend that those who participated in the capture of the Enchantress and her cargo were guilty of piracy under the act of Congress of 15th May, IS2O, which enacts that any person commit tingllllt/11 till: high rims The crime of robb.-ry In or 11i3011 any ship or vessel, or upon any of the ship's company of any ship or vessel, or the lading thereof, shall be ad judged a pirate. The offence thin; described in this act is, in the several counts of the indictment, stated in dif ferent specific or particular forms, in order to meet al ternative aspects in which the case might be presented by the evidence. The indictment also contains an aver ment showing that Gm case in within the jurisdiction of the court wader the si,t,etraeut that tins trial of Mime: committed on the high seas, or in any place out of the jurisdiction of ally particular State, shall he in the dis trict where the ottender is apprehended, or into width he may first he brought. One of the points of law 011 Which the counsel for the defendant have requested instructions to the jury, is, that the court has no jurisdiction of the case, because, "after his apprehension on the high seas," ho was o first brought into another distriet."--mennin. the Eastern dis trict of Virginia—" and ought to have been there tried." This instruction cannot be given. When; he was taken prisoner, and was detained in the recapturingvessel, ho was not apprehended for trial within the meaning of the act of Congress. His first apprehension for this purpose, of which there is any evidence, was at P hiladetphia, after his arrival in this district- Whether he had been proviOnstY brought into another diatriet Within the meaning of the act is unimportant. It has been decided that, tinder this law, a parson first brought into one dis trict, and afterwards apprehended in another, may he tried in the tatter district. Therefore, if you b dieve the testimony on the subject, this court has jurisdiction of the case. In the arguments of the counsel on both sides, the general question of the laWfillneSii 9f Privateeritig, as a method of naval warfare, has been debated. In a na tional war, between independent States, privateering is at present lawful, except where it has been abolished by treaty. In such a war, a commissioned privateer is to be treated as a part of the belligerent naval force of the Government which has granted the commission. This heretofore established rule of the law of nations cannot, so far as the United States may be concernel,lPe vhmtgoil otherwise than by act of Congress, or by treaty with foreign Governments. No kW of Congress to this effect boa been enacted ; therefore, neither the Executive nor the judicial organs hf our Government cam at present, rightfully condemn the practice of privateerbig,. But these remarks apply only to privateering in a legitimate war, in which the connnisaioning Government hi that of un independent State. The commission or a rtrehitionnry government, ,A-heige alai:Wiles is not roomy, nizeil by that It the United States, can confer no such authority as will change the Legal character of piracy, by merely giving to it the name and form of priva teering. The jury, after an absence of about half on how, ren dered a verdict of GrILTY. The prisoner appeared to be entirely unmoved at the rendition of the verdict. Ile: was ordered to stmal nP and luck open the jurors when they gave their vei dirt, but 111 did not hiench at the ordeal. Mr. G. M. Wharton made a motion in arrest of jaalq meat, and for a new trial, and the court adj6m•ntnt. The prisoner was conveyed bock to Moyomensing. Ammar or.

North Pennsylvania Railroad sixes were a shade better. . In the money market there is no chann tP rep9rt, Peterson's Counterfeit Detector was issued this morn ing, with its usual list of contents. There is one fea ture of this detector which makes it very valuable to its subseribers, but which ii one that its patrons seem very prone to overlook. This feature is the publication, every month, of if list of the etternriret upon spurious Mink. note plates known to be in existence, and likely to be Altered into counterfeit notes upon some new hank every month or every week. Thus the Detector was no sooner issued this nmrning than there was an effort made allover the country to pass upon the unsuspecting a new coun terfeit five-dollar bill upon the Bank of Syracuse, /four York. This is a new adaptation of a well-known coun terfeit plate, long since described in Peterson's Detector, which may be altered to suit any bank in New York, having on its left end at the top the figure 5 in a circular metlallium the coatmf.anns of New Turk Mow, nil the word FIVE 1.11..112W The'vigustke is a group of three female figures, the centre one seated within a large figure 5, and that on the left hand holding a tablet, and the ono on the right a sickle, with train of cars, barrels, &c., in the distance. On the right end is a inednilins heed, usually poorly executed, fid iCeL abbk% and tha word FITE below. Our readers ought to mike themselves familiar with this plate, as well as with the description of all those given by Peterson's Detector, as they are likely to be con,tantly used in the production of new notes on banks not hitherto used for such a purpose. .
