Verplanek, Charles King, George W. Cur tis, and Richard Grant White,—was consti tuted at'New York, ‘i to set as a committee to award a prize of $5OO for a National Hymn, set to music, either original or se lected ;" said Hymn to be purely patriotic, adapted to the whole country—not a war song, or only appropriate to the present mo ment ; not shorter than sixteen lines, not longer than forty, exclusive of a chorus or burden ; of the simplest form and most marked rythm ; the words easy to be retained by the popular memory, and the melody and harmony such as may be readily sung by or dinary voices. This, it must be owned, is a clear and cor rect definition of a National Hymn. Yet, tho Ugh twelve hundred poems were sent in, in competition for the prize, (half for the words, half for the music,) not a single one was found worthy or acceptance. The commit. tee, who examined these compositions, ap pear to have performed their troublesome and thankless duty in an equitable and careful =nen To them, from the first, was reserved the right of publishing a selection from the manu scripts in a volume in aid of the Patriotic Fund. Fewer than thirty were the best of these songs, which the Committee intended to publish, under the editorial care of Mr. Grant White ; but the authors - of the best of these gradually withdrew their manuscripts, natu rally disliking to appear as re rejected" lyrists, and thus the project of publication had to be abandoned. Mr. White, however, was in duced to write an essay showing how National Hymns are and are not written ; adding a det scription of ,the manner in which the Come mittee sat in'judgment on the twelve hundred, and throwing in some specimens of the words and music of the best and worst. The under taking has expanded into a handsome octavo of one hundred and fifty pages. Stirring times like the present ought to awaken the soul of Poetry, however deep its slumber. A true national hymn, Mr. G. W. Crwrts says, cc fits every emotion of the na tional heart. It is the national heart-beat set to music." In Ireland, in 1843, when Repeal moved the hearts of millions, and O'Connell was all but crowned on the nth of Mullagh mast or the Hill of Tara (we forget the lo cality), the excitement found words in Song; and, in Thomas CaMpbell's fine words— A weekly journal had arisen, at that time, to advocate the cause of Ireland's independ ence. It bore the name of ,4 The Nation," and published a great number of stirring ly rics, which, adapted to the beautiful music of the country, speedily obtained general popu larity, and, to this hour, collected in a hand some volume, as ic The Songs of The Na tion,"' are prized as breathing the purest spirit of patrietism, the loftiest feeling of poetry. The Repeat nwvemcnt of 1842-3 put the Irish mind upon its mettle, and re vived, by giving a purpose to, the poetic thought and utterance of Irish men'and Irish women. It may be said to have inspired Thomas Davis, whose writings remain "A deathless part of him who died too soon ;" it produced that remarkable series of cheap works, oo The Library of Ireland ;" it broke down the influence of O'Connell, who liad declined into a mere supporter of the English Whig officials it called into exist ence the eloquence of Thomas' Francis Mea gher, the energy of John Savage and others. True, it produced nothing which may be claimed as the National Hymn of Ireland, par excellence, but it would have created this, too, find - this spirit retained its 41tality. Out of koptilar excitement came the inspiriting illarseillaise—which, after all, is but a war chaunt. Out of it, now and here, will come the National Hymn of America, - though the first twelve hundred writers who attempted it have failed. A year ago, what namby-pamby rhymes ap peared in our newspapers—what unmeaning nonsense of ° 0 the union of lakes, and the union of lands"—and now, when the writers have an earnest purpose, what thrilling and soul-sa tisfying lyrics crowd the columns of our journals! The National Hymn will come, at the proper time. When Key wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner," which Mr. Grant White criticizes as being too heavy, all but the refrain, for popular memory and voice, he was induced thereto by the compelling spirit of patriotism, and not by the hope of winning two hundred and fifty dollars. When Burns com posed " Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," be had not in his mind the idea of being paid for it. We shall yet have our own National Hymn without the intervention of a Com mittee. Until then, we must get on with " The Stu-Spangled Banner," and Rodman Drake's 4 ' American Flag." We agree with Mr. White that there is almost as much self adulation in " Hail Columbia" as :there is in that vain.gloriotit if Rule, Britannia)? What_ ever our National Hymn, let us hope that it will have a refrain as fine as PHILADELPHIA "And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." Of the ludicrous specimens sent in for the prize, given by Mr. White, it is not necessary to say more than they are very bad indeed. Among the better poems is a line one by R. S. Willis—which has the fault of being too sub tle in its thought for the public mind. Its rythmical flow, too, gets an abrupt check, by the word "Amen Amen !" closing each eherns, In the fourth verse, such rhymes as err'd and Lord are very bad. Rhyming is little more than the mechanical part of song; like spell ing, it is no great credit to do it correctly, but -a discredit to do it badly. The next best in the selection are "E Pluribus Ernum," by that veteran poet, the Rev. John Pierpont, and the "Hymn of the Union,” by A: J. H. D[uganne]. This last would be admirable, but for the second verse Oh, the Flag of our Union ! 'twos woven with light From the bars of the rainbow, the ears of the night ! In the vesture of Freedom, it swept from on high, And its hues are all blended with beams of the sky. 'Twos the blood of our martyrs that crimsoned its bars, And the souls of our heroes shine out from its stars. This would be - very fine,—if original. But Rodman Drake had already written: When Freedom from her mountain height Unfurled her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of night, And set the stars of glory there. She mingled with its gorgeous dyes The milky baldrics of the skies, And striped its pure celestial white With streakings of the morning light. And Byron, in his lines, on the Star of the Legion of MAU, had written this apostrophes It is clear, then, that, years before Mr. Mr. Duganne was born, Drake and Byron had anticipated the beautiful and fanciful idea, and almost the language of his second stanza, is above. We liar°o already mentioned that Mt. White has , a :poor opinion of our own;so-called, National Hymns. as The Star-Spangled Ban-, per," he thinks too long, the rhyme too in volved, the rhythm too complicated, besides being "often harsh and vague" for a truly popular patriotic song; 'and, moreover, the de it is a national air, and 'so it will remain.

Mr. White gives an account of an abic criti cism upon the National Hymns of England and France. In his account of "God Save the King," he adopts Mr. ChappelPs belief that it was written by Henry Carey, (maternal grand father- of Edmund Kean, the actor,) and was originally a Jacobite lyric, in honor of the exiled James Stuart, instead of the reigning George Guelph, and was probably written in 1714, when the landing of the Pretender was expected. When Mr. White mentioned the additional stanzas written to " God Save the King," he might have included what Sheridan improvised, and had sung on the stage, within a few minutes atter George 111. had be6n tired at by Hatfield, in Drury-lane Theatre, in the year 1800. Mr. White briefly relates how the Marseillaise was composed, and gives it in full. Ile has produced a book' in which amuse ment and information are united with some judicious criticism. Wheri he quotes from William Taylor, of Norwich, something pur porting to have been written in 180, he for gets that Mr. Taylor died in 1880. We are sorry that we cannot here take leave of Mr. Grant White. He is probably notaware that he exhibits decided mannerism all through this l'obine. To open a senteneexith cc Said Prince Napoleon," instead, of " Prince Na poleon said," reminds one of the " says he" and say 6 she" of vulgar parlance. Our corn , plaint of Mr. White's mannerism is that, on the aveiage, at least one sentence on every page he has written commences with the dis junctive "But,"—varied, now and then, by the copulative " And." Frequently he com mences a fresh paragraph with one of these conjunctions. Part 11. (p_ 9.3) begins with "Sad so we are,"—the and connecting nothing ; and Part 11. (p 79) opening with " But to turn our attention,"—the but having nothing to oppose. Report of Acting Brigadier General Rinks.

Street Nomenclature [For The Freep.] The streets of this city, running fronteast to west, south of Federal street, were called after the Presidents of the Supreme Executive Council, (under air Stet Constitution,) and Use Cret , ornors, (under the second Constitution,) following ihe pro per chrenological order, Wharton;Reed, Grand father,") Dickinson, Franklin, Morris, Mmire, Mif flin; do. • •, -• Jobn'Dickinsoh, our third President, was the cc= lebrated author of the Parsner's Letters," and certainly Itis name Should be correctly spelt in the street called after him ; yet, in the map in . the Di rectory, for this year, the street is called Dickerson, and so the word is spelt at the corner of tits street and Broad street, and I presume elsewhere. The Masters family, connected with the Penne, oboe owned a largo.portion of what was afterwards the- district of Kensington. Masters street was called after them,,and yet, upon sign-boards, omni buses, railroad cars, and maps, it is almost univer sally spelt Master street. Is it the duty of the . City Commissioners, or of whom, to see that the names are correctly spelled on the corner boards? NE „M. E. THE REBELLION. THE GREAT NAVAL EXPEDITION. RUMORS OF TREACHERY ON BOARD THE FLEET.

PREPARATIONS iron DEPARTURE FORTRESS MONROIC, Oct. 28, via Bantam s —. One hundred thousand rations have be diatribm tod among the regiments this afternoon s prepara tory to departure. The captains of the transports received their sealed orders to-day- It is reported that one of thenul'e opened his orders and divulged the desti- Didion of the fleet. The men and animals on board the transports have suffered greatly during the gale of the last two days. A detachment of the Sixteenth Musanohtteette regiment to-day followed the line of the telegraph to Newport News, without meeting with any oppo sition. Two recent deserters from the rebels state that, the troops at Yorktown are suffering greatly from want and sickness. In addition to the above rumor that the - tfaptain o f one of t h e ytm.s* had opened his orders anti di vulged the destination of the fleet, the Tribune, of yestoidav, published a eepart that cc the plLlVitto secretary of. Commodore Dupont, the commander of the fleet, bad absconded, carrying with him the maraud charts, and even the sealed orders of the ha Con - nub:4c ;" end the iirra.M a has story that IL a clerk of one of the mereof-war has been missing for three days, and is also suspected of having taken tbe signal book of the vessel with him. It is sup posed that ho took a boat and put oft' to Sewall's Point, and there joined the rebels." It is probable that all these rumors are based on one occurrence, if indeed a treacherous act has, as alleged, been committed, But as much is left to the direction of the officer in command, who can lay his plans aeoording tooiretunstances, it is scareely possible thit th 6 rebelshave gained any informa tion that will enable them to defeat the success of the expedition. The following important General Order Regarding the Elebarka. Was read on board each vessel on Thursday last .1-InAINUARTNRS, E. 0., STRAmPn Ag'LLNTIC, Oet. 25, 1861. [SPECIAL. ORDERS, NO. 19.1 I.

The ail' vessels nut , other transports, inadequate to the taut of miring. with the fleet, will he towed by anchsteamers.as the Chief Quartermaster may designate. Cons. mender Dupont, in co-operation with the land forces, has kindly made such an arrangement of his fleet as will secure the transports from unneces sary diffusion, and all senior officers on transports, and masters of vezytia, win ehtei.

On the approach of the tranaprte to the place of disembarkation, each brigade Ptill4-4 , 41-ief Will anchor his transports sr near each otheras practi cable, anti will, at tße proper tinde,• superintend the disembarkation of his - brigade. The surf boats, and' other means of di:embarkation at hand. arc believed to be capable of landing at onto &own ihree to four thousand men, surfboats are different sizes; two of the largest may take thereflieens and men of a company of- 110' men ; 'two of the nest size a company of 70men, and so on in preportion. The other means of transportation may-take re mainder of a brigade, with- probably one- es two sections of field ar tillery. • . , 4, The disembarkment will .be made iv three lines. The first line will bo the- brigade of General Wright, flanked by two _rations of Hamilton's Light Battery, accempanietrby the- squad . of Be. gular Sappers and Miners, and two companies of Serrell's Volunteer Engineers, with a sofberent Arp ply of entrenching tools and sand bags. Tliese. eond line will be the brigade of General Stere2e, and, if necessary, accompanied by a section' of Battalion's Battery, and two field pieces, to- be manned by a company-of -the Third Rhode Island Regiment. The reser7e will be-composed of. Gen.. Title's brigade, the remaining portions ot,s.er. 3ell'e Volunteer Engineers and' the Third moat,. island Regiment, and will' be disposed ne aecordhis to circumstances. 5. The boats of not only each company, bat 'of' each regiment and brigade, will land abreast, as *as practicable, ap4 in lin Order of-buttic. The , tatalt , Et effort will be made-to effect the• landing itt, that order. Should it be• found impracticable to• land immediately from the lighters, then the surf boats, when emptied, will immediately proceed to • the rapid lending of the =en from the lighters and as seen as the whole Hat is landed, all the boats will return and bring forward in like manner the troops of the second line:, and -so • with the re- - SOM. The general officers and commanders of batta- • ihms, ste., wilt be fltrPis-bci is ti we with the plan of descent and the particular order of battle. It is - probable that the first line will have to conquer the ground on which to establish itself, and, if opposed by greatly superior numbers, -to-mataeuvre and probably to momentarily intre'sch. If not seriously. opposed, the first line, after overcoming immediate difficulties, will continue to drive backward -the enemy, but will not venture beyond supporting dis tance from the shore before hie-landing of the tie- Pend Commanding, or without Ms special order. 7. The commanding officer cf the naval squadron,. has kindly consented to furnish_ MO sailors to -assist in launching and manning the surf-boats, and ho apical: to the Ita,triotistn of the masters,- mates; and sailors of the several' tvansporto to furnish au addi— tional number of coxswains. and-oarsmen. Any.de— ficiency of oarsmen in surf-boats -wilt be supplied from the platoons on board of these respectively, so that each boat, when ready, may be rapidly.rowad ashore. The soldier oarsmen will land and form. with their platoons. 8.

This erst memlaer of Congress from Indiana, and late prominenee in the Kane troubles; is losing none of his re,utation for lightning4ilre activity and restlessness. Yesterday's despatches show him capturing a rebel train at Butler, a village in the comity of a county of Western Missouri, named after the pre sent Attorney General of the United States, or, it may be, after a former Governor of Missouri. Through it run the Great sled Little Osage and Marmiton rivers. It has a population of overfonr thousand, with a very small number of slaves, pro bably not comprising in the total four hundred.

The Retreat of the Rebels from4South- western Missouri, A correspondent of the same journal, writing from Rona, under date of Oct, 24, says A report is in circulation, brought in by a coun tryman, to the effect that an order had been issued front,the rebel headquarters for the Texas troops to 'Amok to Hellen, Texan, the Arkansas troops to Little Reek, and the Missourians to Camp Watker. Snell nn order is eongidered hero to be grate super• linens, as said troops are being driven home by our legions as fast as possible. If these fellows think to hybernate during the winter in safety. they will find themselves mistaken. Fremont, if unable to punish them in this State will not stop for State lines. hut will follow up end elm tise the dastardly traitors wherever found. If they so choose, let the battle-ground be transferred to the " tooth-pick " State. A Sketch of Captains Montgomery and Switzler. The departure of Captains Montgomery and Switaler to the scene of eontliet and the recent ex ploits of these gallant leaders may render a short " pen-and-ink sketch" of each, although imper- PO 7 not 914 Of MN., Captain Montgomery is a square, heavy-built man, rather short in stature, and I should judge hint.tobe on the sunny side of fifty. The expres sion' about the mouth evinces decision; the scathing eye, flashing at times, and the military cut of his mustaches, give him the look of the commander ; a look expeeiully=his men say —when-in presence of the enemy. A gleam of ferocity then fires up his countenance. He evi dently entertains no more compunction in killing a rebel than a rat. His name inspires terror among the rebels. They fear him as they Am!?, Many of them confound him with the Montgomery of Hansns notoriety, and he is reported to have stnted that the name shall not be disgraced by any act of his.

Hence the controlling Intelleote of the Union cause have-gum upon the stump, and proclaimed the jegticoe the truth, and the necessity, involved in the preservation of the Heim.. Among the most effective of the young men,who hare thus become apostles. or the difett- Mon of Union principles, is Lakin T.

In person, he is about -five feet nine inches in height, of very dark bronzed complexion, with dark hair, and de-. eidedly dark eyes. Recently, his inclination te Stoutness cannot be doubted. His proclivities for the praetieeof.the law and for politics have been overcome " ethe pride, pomp,. and circumstance of glerieua war."

Writing from the Union Camp at Nolin, under date of October 24, says : Foil may expect to hear of hot work out bore shortly. I believe a serious fight take place very soon. This division is beginning to feel its strength, soil to desire to use it. The distance be tween us and the rebels will be very materially abortened in a day or two, and if Buckner's men ass at keen fdi , A fight its I think they are, he can not help but fight. Advises received last night represent the rebate as fortifying Bowling Green by every means in their rower. In addition to the strong works on the hills east of the town, which they began mme time ago, they are now cutting a trench entirely across the bend of the river north of the place, and throwing up works and planting heavy guns behind it. How much this strengthens the place will be seen at R ice by those familiar with its topo graphy. T ile dam will prevent the passage of troops below the town, the trench protects the front, and the bill to the east defends that quarter. When they commenced fortifying the hill it was rather a puzzling matter to see what thoyconld mean. For titications in that direction did noLappear likely to ao numb good. It was a shrewd thing of them to begin their work off there, so that their eh-le de sign should not appear until they were ready to complete it. The bend which they are ditching forms a complete horse-shoe, and they are cutting imeoli directly across its mouth. The bend is the same that the - railroad enters before crowing the river. The river can bo around above the town, but there the batteries on tho eastern hill make up for the loss of the river. The Repulse of Zolheoffer.

Connected with theYourteenth Ohio was a battery of six rifled cannon. The fight lasted one hour; the enemy being repulsed. At 2 o'clock P. M. the battle was renew el, and with like Haile the enemy being again repulsed. After nightfall the rebels appeared again, to carry off their deadend wounded; but not showing the flag, or otherwise cumin - dealing their object, were fired. upon by our troops. They then ran. "From the [prisoners Wien ere got the informs• lion of his strength, the number engaged in the battle-2,000, and the number of his killed and wounded ; which proved to be 143 killed and 110 woundedetln his flight, 27 dead were left on the ground all buried by our men. e We had in the engagement 401 of the Wahl Thirty-third, 400 Woolford'a cavalry, and 200 Gar rard's infantry—making 1,000 in all.
