C|t Urns. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1861. EXTRACT FROM THE LAST SPEECH OF STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.—“ The conspiracy to break np the Union is a fact now known to ail. Armies are being raised, and war levied to accomplish it. There can he hut two sides t* thr controversy. Every man mast 6e on the side of the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war. There can bo none hut patriots and traitors.” TUB LATEST WAR NEWS. The tone of the unfriendly Oanndian journals, in discussing the seizure of Mason and Slidell, pro bably foreshadows the views which will be ex pressed on that subject by the London journals. The Montreal Gazette takes the ground that it is •our duty to replace the rebel commissioners 11 under the licuLrui h»g i.wo. u..der protection of which Liicy were drugged by fol'CS. lit llliC of argument is as follows: The general principle involved is thus stated by Rent, an authority whieh Americans will, of course, not pretend to dispute ; “ It is not lawful to make neutral territory the scene of hostility, or to attack an enemy wheu within it; and if tho enemy be -attacked, or any capture made, under neutral protection, the neutral is bound to redress tho injury, and effect restitution. The books ato full ■of eases recognising this principle of neutrality.-' A neutral ship is neutral territory, subject, however, to this exceptional disability, that it may be visited and searched for contraband of It is now, also* expressly laid that the neutral flag covers even enemy’s got:ds which are not contraband of war. It is quite certain that the persons of enemies are not contraband of war, unless they are enlisted and nrmod, op about to be flruied,for service in the eno» my ! s behalf. Truops arc contraband of war. Tho United States pieeedent in the Kozstacaseisa very strong one on this point against the seizure of Messrs. Mason and Slidell. They have male the law wry strong against their, by that OrtiG. lint it hns been laid down in books that the carrying of despatches is contraband trade, subjecting the vessel to capture anu confiscation. And it is probable that it is upon this ground that Commodore Wilkes has taken the step com plained of. We have no proof, however, that Messrs. Slidell and Mason were bearers of des patches ; the vessel was not captured; and the authorities vre have examined do not in terms dwl&ro the heorws of despatches liable to seizure, unless as part of the crew or passengers of a vessel captured for contraband trading. This is clearly the only loop-hole of doubt. Without a fuller statement of facts it is impossible to dissuss the case intelligently t 3kt it §??ms to us Tory doubt ful if the despatches earned by an ambassador or agent] of the enemy to a neutral court are those meant by the rule referred to. A diplo matic agent goiog from Russia to the United Suites, by a Baltic veassel, would hardly, we fancy, have been liable to Imre been seized with his despatches during the Crimean war. The despatches referred to would be those between different armies, or the Government and army, or from port to port, or to fleets or squadrons of the enemy, not those ad dressed to a neutral Government, for the former case would be the employment of a neutral vessel n the belligerent service; the latter might be ra ker in the service of the neutral Government- &OUW Of tl?0§0 idOfl? ftf© ingenious and plausible j but Great Britain has repeatedly furnished prece. dents which eiiher prove their fallacy, or show that England has never respected them. She hot Only Henry Laurens, our ambassador to Holland, in the days of the Revolution, when he was on beard a Dutch ship, but took Terrence Bellew McManus, an Irish refugee, from an Ame rican ship in the vicinity of Cork. The old British right-of-search doctrine would of course justify the arrest of Mason and Slidell, for by it the power was assumed to take away men, who had once been British subjects, from any American vessel on which they could be found, even if they had become naturalized American citizens ! This wnsaniofamous chum, which our Government very wisely and properly resisted; but it will be singular indeed if the nation, which, for a long period, per tinaciously made it, should now object to our seizing rebel commissioners, who have no special claims whatever to British protection, and whose &£rc&t i 3 fully ju&tiiicd by ihd principles of interna tional law. The New York Post of last evening gives a full account of the expedition of ships 7 laden with stone, which left New Bedford ou the 20th lost., destined for some point on the Southern coast. The expe dition is composed-of twenty-five vessels, princi pally whaling ships, from New Bedford, New Lon don, Nantucket, Newport, A'c. In the bottom of each ship a hole was bored, into which was fitted a lead pipe, five inches in diameter, with a valve so fixed that, though perfectly safe even for a long voyage, it can be very quickly removed. It is cal culated that the ship will be filled and sunk to the bottom in twenty, minutes after the removal ofthigTalve. The captains of tho ships are ait w©U acquainted with our coast, first-rate seamen and good pilot?, and os they have received sealed orders, the desti nation of the fleet is unknown to both them and the public. The Baltimore Patriot learns that the son of a distinguished citizen of that city, in the Breach army, writes to his father that the French ministers, at a recent meeting, voted unanimously not to recognize the independence of the Southern Confe deracy. He also stated that he knew- of private individuals in France who would lend the United States Government £00,000,000 if it was needed, The feeling was general in favor of standing by the old Union and give her funds to its support. Captain David D.'Porter, of the United. States navy, is in New York getting together the ma terials for another expedition to the Southern coast. No doubt he has been Selected to lead the naval portion of it, and. as he is one of the bravest and best officers of our navy, we need not fear for the result. There are now about eighty Government vessels of various sizes and classes in the port of New York. JoLu Jacob Aslor, the millionaire of Hew York, has been appointed on the staff of Gen. McClellan, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. The Frankfort (Jo m one of the best Union papers published in Kentucky, ihua com ments on Col. John Cochrane’s late speech to his regiment at Washington: “ The policy indicated by Mr. Cochrane is exact ly right) nod in nscimlnncc with the usage of civi lized warfare. We hope to see it adopted by the Government. It should have been at first. Hud it been, many lives of loyal citizens would have been saved that were lost through the anomalous conduct of the Government toward traitors In arms. Since the commencement of this most unnatural war it has been safer to he a rebel than to be loyal to the Government. The extreme punishment of trea son has thus far been an ‘ oath of allegiance,’ whjeh a rebel will take with as much sangfroid ae he would a gin eoehtail. “Why should not the slaves of traitors in arms he confiscated to the use of the Government? The Democrat will not deny that slaves are property, as clearly so as are mules. Is it right and proper to confiscate n nrale, and put it to hauling tmoa. portation? If it is, why is it not equally right and proper to confiscate a slave for a driver of that mute ? Both are property, and both are employed by the rebels in their attempt to destroy this Go vernment. Wa boliove in ‘fighting tha davil with fire.’ The rebels employ armed negroes, armed savages. They resort to all sorts of base means, even to piracy on the high seas. They poison wells, and when they can—as at Gmyandotte—they resort to assassination. It is all stuff to talk about fighting such an enemy on ‘high points.’ The Government has been trying the experiment some eight months, with indifferent success. If we meet a rattlesnake in our path, we mash his head if we can. Let this barbarous rebellion be crushed out We care not how. so it be done quickly." Foreign Affairs. We have London and Liverpool news to the 10th inst. inclusive. The London journals ap pear to mitigate that virulence of expression against the American Government which has so openly appeared since the commencement of our Civil War. Lord Palmerston, at the Lord Mayor's Feast, on the 9th, had men tioned that the non-supply of cotton from the South must drive the European manufactu rers Into seeking for a sure and ample supply in other places. He said he viewed with affliction the lamentable differences which haye led to tills way, hut it was not for him to pass judgment on the quarrel, and he conclu ded with the hope that harmony and peace would soon be restored. On the same day, the Fishmongers’ Company (of London) gave a dinner, at which Messrs. Manx and Yancey, pseudo-Commissiouers from the South, were guests. The condemnation, by the English press, of Lorid Lyons’ letter to Mr. Seward, is so deci ded—all following in the wake of The Times— that his recall is said to have been all but ac tually agreed upon by the British Cabinet. The tripartite expedition against Mexico will include 5,000 soldiers from Spain, 1,500 from France, and 800 from England. So says the Independence Edge, a journal of more noto riety than accuracy. The Constiiulionnel and the Patrie , both published in Paris, state the French contingent to be 3,000 men. The three squadrons will rendezvous at Havana, The London 7 says : “ Three States are ■combining to coerce a fourth into good beha vior, not so much by way of war as by authori tative interference in behalf Qf order. The administration of Mexican affairs has been so ■execrable that even foreigners can no longer tolerate the con sequences of misgovcrnment which fall to tlieir share, and it has been resolv ed by common consent to terminate an anarchy which makes itself felt beyond the bounds of the distracted »e. These are no common conditions of action, and if President Lincoln sliould accept the invitation, which is provided for by the convention, to participate in the approaching operations, the character of the work will become more curious still.” The three naval squadrons are to make di rectly for Vera Cruz, and, La Patrie says, “ that city will he immediately occupied, and should that measure not lead to any satisfactory re stilt, the allies will successively occupy Tampico, Matamoras, Tarasco, and the town of Carmen , in the Yucatan, and ultimately, if necessary, the City of Mexico.” | The End of Cotton. j R this rebellion may be. attributed to the existence of any interest, or tho development of any branch of industry or agriculture, surety it lias been the cultivation of cotton. Cotton has been the staple of the South. It has been tho source of nil its revenue, and, from the fact that it renders necessary an objectionable system of labor, the basis of its political power in the Confederacy. The most troublesome States of the Union were the Cotton States, The most ambitions and treacherous of tho Secession politicians arc those who came from the districts where cotton is cultivated, The legislation necessary to tlio protection of cot ton was, in many cases, antagonistic and in jurious to the other great, and far more mate rial, interests of this country. Cotton lias been frivolous, exacting, and arrogant. Claiming to be “king” (in tlio pet phrase of South ern rhetoric), it. oxiictwl all ttiv privileges and exercised all the prerogatives of the most imperial monarchs. When it wanted a pro tective tariff, it demanded a protective tariff; when it desired free trade, ita loaders cla mored for free trade, or threatened to dissolve the Union. Cotton sowed the seeds of treason in 1833; it ripened into the full fruit of infamy in 1801. Cotton has been the ser vant of the Southern leaders, and master of the Northern public men. Its sway has been one dark, unrelenting, and grasping tyranny • and, It was only when it attempted to stifle constitutional liberty in this country, and to desolate the rich and extensive Territories of the West, by establishing perpetual slavery, that the loyal heart of the nation rehelled against its usurpations, and the loyal arm of the nation drew the sword to resist its pro gress. It is, therefore, with a feeling of satisfac tion, which we trust will not be mistaken for a selfish thought, that wo look forward to tho speedy downfall of this fatal power. Wo do not wish to see the cultivation of cotton ter minated on this continent, any more 'than"wo wish to see the cud of the wheat crop in Pennsylvania, or the liay crop in Illinois. So long as cotton was a simple agricultural inte rest, restrained by judicious legislation, and recognized by the Government as other inte rests are recognized, wo looked upon its giowtii as a kind dispensation of Providence, and the commerce it fostered a gratifying ole- mem of national prosperity; but when the in terests of cotton seek to advance at the oxpenso of national honor, and of national existence, then we greet their overthrow With pleasure. And that overthrow seems to be at hand. We have heretofore given our own humble opinion on this question, and rapidly-occurring events now justify what soomod then to be a mere newspaper speculation. The Prime Minister of England is a far-seeing, sagacious man, and his opinions are before us. In a re cent speech lie said to his auditors, «that al though circumstances may for a time threaten to interfere with the supply of cotton, the tem porary evil will be productive of permanent good. England shall find in various quarters ol'the globe a sure and ample supply, which will render it no more dependent.” Lord Palmerston evidently speaks by the card. He knows the resources of the British empire—its agricultural and commercial capa cities. lie knows that upon tho cultivation of the Motion crop, And. li * supply to English fac tors at fair prices, depends tho happiness of a large class of her Majesty’s subjects. Lanca shire needs cotton; its people must be em ployed, or the peace of the realm will give way to anarchy, riot, and probably revolution. Ac cordingly, with the money of the Crown, he lias been developing the cotton crop in other quarters of tlio globe, and stimulating English enterprise to bring it to the market. His agents have been in India; Australia, Turicay, the West Indies, and other countries beyond the seas, and they report a favorable prospect for the establishment of a cotton trade inde pendent of America. Considering ail these facts, and especially the assertion of the Prime Minister, we may look upon the cotton tyranny as at an end, No matter what the result of this war may ha, the cotton interest has received a fatal blow. If peace came to-morrow, the cotton capitalists of tlio South would Ana that the intorest whieh they cherished and supported uutil it became a political monster had been crushed forever. England will never more be at tire mercy of factious rebels, who plot treason and plant cotton. And we have no doubt that the peace of the country, its real greatness, its prosper ity, its agricultural and commercial strength, will be. benefited by the success of English enterprise. John C. Fremont, We notice, in some of the German papers of the radical school, a “ call to the people,” for the purpose of giving General Jo fin C. Fremont a public reception in New York city. We have this call before us, and it is impossible to conceive anything in worse taste. The signers tell us that the chief com plaints ngaiustFßN.Ho:vr are : -- Firstly,that he wishes to uproot by war the causes of the war; and, secondly, that lie has given foreigners, particularly Germans, honorable positions on his staff. Fremont has therefore sinned, be cause he is for freedom, not in mere form alone, but in its real essence, and because he liaa thought foreigners—Germans— worthy to do battle for this end.” Fremont’s removal is spoken of as “tha arbitrary decree of a weak Administration;” he is called “the Man of the People,” and the “ German ele ment" is called upon to express its opinion n his favor. As to John C. Fremont, we have only this to say • During his whole military career we have been his friend. In the columns of this newspaper no word to his disparagement can be found. We looked upon his appointment to the Missouri department as a graceful con cession to the wishes of a large portion of our countrymen on the part of the Administra tion. Whether legitimately so or not, Gen. Fremont was a representative man. He went to Missouri, sustained by a public confi dence such as few men in the world ever en joyed. The members of the Administration were his friends—the people of the country were his friends—and both the Administra tion and the country were anxious for an op portunity to reward and exalt him. What has been the military history of John G. Fremont? We appeal to the impartial sentiment of the nation—to those who have no interest whatever in saying yea or nay. While We candidly think that nothing has been shown to prove General Fremont either a corrupt, dishonest, or a disloyal man, we must say that lie has exhibited a weakness and incapacity which no one regrets more sincerely than our selves. The Administration removed him under the pressure of a painful and imperative necessity—the President commanding it as a disagreeable and reluctant duty. The mischievous and malignant part of this cal! is the alj«sicn to the emancipation procla mation of Fremont and his sympathy for the German element. We conceive the whole de monstration to be the wicked schemo of dema gogues. It bears upon its face an unblushing lie. Those who have watched the policy of the Administration need not be told that an error of judgment like that of General Fre mont Mould nover have caused his removal. The course of the President ou his proclama tion was the performance of a simple execu tive duty, and any attempt to interpret that course as a sign of weakness or hesitancy ex hibits ignorance or insincerity. But, apart from this, the ridiculous and amusing false hood, that General Fremont’s predilection in favor of the Germans was a cause of his re moval, shows to what extremes the dema gogues are compelled to resort. We do not deny to these Germans the right to give Gene ral Fremont a public demonstration, to carry fiuii.'-paiencies and burn torches, any more than we Mould deny to them the right to pay such a compliment to the Sultan of Turkey or the Emperor of Japan. But we do think, as in the present crisis, their course is most un wise, unpatriotic, and reprehensible. We think so because no good can result from it. If General Fremont has been treated unjustly, time and opportunity will be' given for him to show wherein he was persecuted. But no torch 1 ight demonstration can clear his fame or make the country believe he was an ableorcompetent general. If those mon are the friends of John C. Fremont, then God save him from their friendship ! We trust that he will permit his own good sense, his patriotism, and his loyalty to control him in this matter —that he will frown upon all such attempt* to use his name for the purpose of embarrassing the operations of the Adminis tration, creating dissatisfaction among the people of the country, and paralysing the ef forts of the Republic to protect the Union and maintain the Constitution. LETTER FROM ‘‘OCCASIONAL.” Washington, Nov. 22,1861. In one of my letters, more than a year ago, I predicted that Washington must become a Nortliern city. Anticipating tho defeat of the Southern aristocracy whieh, while lording over, had loaded down Washington with its want of progress and principle, I looked for ward to the day when the daring, inventive, and original spirit of tlic free States would come here and entrench itself—would lead in so ciety, mechanics, manufacture, arts, and sciences. Those anticipations have been more than realized. The war, precipitated liy the mad measures of the Southern waiters, after having been postponed by a Republican Presi dent, so far as he could offer conciliation, has already proved to be a great blessing to the Jistrict of Columbia. Tillu capital, under all AtiiuinistriUions, from the day of George Washington to tlio day of Abraham Lincoln, has been insensibly and irresistibly controlled by the South. It mattered nothing which party trliiinplied at the Presidential elec tion, the Southern politicians mastered the Administration. Southern manners, South ern habits, and consequently, Southern prejudices, impregnated the framework of the departments and the city. The influence thus wielded by slavery mado it easy for tho politicians to mould and manage the men in power. Talk as wc may about the clangers of sectionalism, let us be candid with each other, and admit that, after the South, through ita AlubilloUS And desperate men, refused to abide by the result of the election— which election was, in fact, decided by their own hostility to a Northern Democratic can didate for the Presidency—a pure Northern triumph has ended in securing the salvation and stability of the city of 'Washington. To begin: Wo got rid of tho worgt enemies of the country and the District in the persons of the leading Southern traitors; andtliose who remain behind only do so amidst hollow and wcll-ap preciated professions of loyalty to save the property that would otherwise he confiscated. A torrent of Northern enterprise and inven tion has pouted into the city. Shops of every description are opened along the Ave nue and in the other business streets. As to society, Northern gentlemen and Northern ladies have supplanted those who have been the monarclis of the world of fashion. The capitalists of our great free cities are coming here, and, although notyetestablishing themselves in great palaces, are undoubtedly preparing to do so. Wc shall presently see evidences of the spirit that has made the en virons of Boston, New York, and Philadel phia, almost a paradise, exhibiting themselves in the beautification of our surroundings. Northern carpenters, blacksmiths, and men engaged in every avocation of labor, are quiet ly "settling down, as If to keep their posterity here forever. There are hundreds acres of unoccupied lands in and about Washington. All that is needed to make them valuable is jlopulation. That much-abused individual, the speculator, who scents a job like the war horse from afar off, and yet who sometimes proves to be a public benefactor, frequently risking everything and losing it upon an idea, may perceive in this suggestion a wide and compensating field for his genius. Washing ton is one of the healthiest cities in the world, and when I look over the untenanted and un cultivated lots cast ot the Capitol, and on the Island, and all around this interesting neigh borhood, I am surprised that more of our Northern people have not come here and made it their home. Nothing hut the intolerance and contracted spirit of thoso who have re garded it as their exclusive inheritance lias prevented this from being done long ago. In truth, tho national capital has been attract ive more to politicians than the people. Now, however, that the Northern people are doubly here —first in their government, and next in their soldiers —they will probably reflect Upon tlie suggestion that there is no spot more worthy of the enterprise of the rich and tho labor of tho poor. We need but a little more of the spirit that is rife on all hands to make Washington a great manufacturing and com. moraial depot. Our vast navy yard, like yours at Philadelphia, since the destruction of that at Norfolk, will have to be extended and improved. Adjacent alike by water and rail to the great iron and coal fields of Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, it is no difficult thing to anticipate the day when the scenes witnessed along the waters of the Delaware shall boooma familiar horo; when immense factories of every description, from the ship yard to the manufactory of the most ordinary articles of common use, will be objects of con stant observation. The representatives of the various industries and arts of life, instead of being attracted by Secession towards Scces sia; instead of being called South, »S WAS flippantly prophesied by the leaders of the re bellion, when that monstrous ingratitude ori ginated, halt here. They look with surprise upon the tempting and promising prospect j they realize how much they have lost by ne glecting Washington city; they behold the numerous facilities of soil and climate and geographical position with wonder, and al most forgetting what they have left be hind, prepare to avail themselves of the ad vantages before them. If we can preserve this Union for our children and our children’s children, the political metropolis of the United States will he as great a city as Rome ever was in her palmiest days. Occasional, General Ripley. [For The Press.] Mr. Editor : At the commencement of the war with Great Britain, in the years 1812-’l5, there was an officer of the name of Kipley. Can this General Biploy, who commanded a part of the rebel forces at Port Royal, be a descendant of hiß ? General E. T. Ripley, who distinguished himself in the war of 1812—’15, was a native of New Hampshire, an eminent lawyer, who, leaving the pursuits of pri vate life, entered the army as a colonel, and had the merit accredited to him of commanding the earliest organized regiment in the then new army. He rose to great distinction in that war, as the fellow-soldier of Scott, Gaines, and Macomb, in the battles on the Canada frontier. General Kipley was retained (with his then rank as general) on the peace establishment which followed that war, and upon a subsequent reduction he retired to civil life, and died, w« believe, at Neff Qrleana. As suming the fact that the present General Kipley is a Southron born, we conjecture he is a son or rela tive of the hero of the war of 1812. Can any of your readers or correspondents enlighten us ? Can th« memory of so noble a sire be tarnished by tha recreancy of such a son ? Public Amusements.

Information was received that tho re bels hnd constructed an artillery road from Flint Hill to Germantown. The report that. Dr. Mulfoud, surgeon of the Thirty-third New York Regiment, was accidentally killed at the review on Wednesday, is untruo, Ha was not oven hurt. The onlyono slightly injured was Dr. Dickekson, assistant surgeon of tho same regiment. Colonel Tati,on, who was arrested under a mis apprehension in connection with tho running over of a private on Wednesday, has been restored to bis command. Review of Gen. Smith’s Division, Gen. Smith’s division, including the brigades of Generals Hancock, Brooks, and Brannon, and Mott’s and Baiui’s batteries, in connection with Col. Fmkbjiax’s cavalry, was to hava boon re. viewed this afternoon by Gen. McClellan, but as public business prevented him from being pre sent, Gen. Smith himself reviewod tho division. After passing in review, the regiments wore drawn up in line of battle, tho artillery occupying the prominent points, and Col. Friedman’s cavalry hay ing been posted in a position to make a charge. The infantry and artillery first opened the fire, which was continued by the entire division for nearly an hour, movements as in actual battle being observod. They imagined ibo enemy to be in the direction of Lewinsvilio. Ayres’ Battory, which occupied Smoot’s Hill, took part in tho engagement. The exercises were closed by a charge from FaißD man’s cavalry on a fanciod column of tho enemy’s infantry The only accident was that to Charles Tkeuteß; of Philadelphia; who was thrown from his horse and seriously injured. Both the review and the sham battle were in the highest degree creditable to Gen. Smith’s division, and showed rapid progress in discipline and efficiency. Army Appointments. The following military appointments were made to-day, viz : Bsitfin-r Bmvhis, t>( lewa, to he oh Additional paymaster of volunteers. Frederick C.

A rebel deserter from one of the enemy’s recon noitring parties came into our camp yesterday. He reports that the rebels have an abundance of all provisions except groceries. When the news of the landing of our fleet on the coast of South Caro lina reached the encampments in Manassas Gap the South Carolina troops were wild; and wanted to be sent home at once. The Patrol. Since the commencement of tho paying off of the troops the patrol, composed of regulars, have had much trouble. The volunteers, in spite of the stringent regulations, manage to get into the city and get drunk. This afternoon the patrol passing up the Avenue bad in charge abolsterous gray,” who persisted in crying out: “ I tell yon lam a Secessionist at heart.” He wa3 taken to’thc guard house. Reconnoitring Parties. Three strong reconnoitering parties started ont this morning in the direction of Fairfax. The rebels, for the past three nighta, have boon shooting our pickets in the mo3t cold-blooded and deliberate manner. What Shall be Done with tho Army! A proposition will undoubtedly be roooinmonded to, and I think passed by, the next Congress, to abolish the distinctions between the regulars and the volunteers in the army, and to solidify the whole moss in one indy; It is estimated that there are not more thoWtliree thousand genuine regulars in the army at this time, and if the commissioned and non-commissioned regular officers could be put at the head of the different regiments, battalions, and companies, we should soon have a force of un surpassed soldiers. In any event, the idea of de stroying the distinctions which have given rise to so much trouble is a good one. Prince de Jomville This experienced soldier is in raptures over the grand review, alleging that he never saw anything compared with it in the old world, when tho regu larity, promptitude, and harmony of the movements are taken into consideration. Senator Bright. It is stated upon good authority that Jes.se D. Bright, of Indiana, will insist upon taking his seat in the Senate at the ensuing session. His family have been living in this city during all the recess. Northampton and Accomac Counties, Va. Early in the approaching session of Congress propositions will be presented and considered in Congress to make that part of Virginia, known as Northampton and Accomac counties, a part of Maryland. Reference to a map of those States will indicate the wisdom of the change, aside from all political considerations. Those counties em brace a delightful section of country \ and though the land has been exhausted, there is a fino opening for enterprise in that district, to which attention is already being directed. .North GRroUnti, The Government have well-authenticated assu rances, from North Carolina, that the Union senti ment is duly increasing and gaining strength in that State. The inhabitants, generally, are frooly Asserting that they have been deceived by the leaders of the rebellion, and are anxious to havo the burdens, imposed by Seoession, removed, and the authority of the Federal Government reoog nitedand enforced. North Carolina will, in all probability, be represented, before many weeks, in the United States Congress. Bids for Building the New Hospitals. The bids for building a hospital on Stone’s farm, Maryland, and another on J udiciary Square, Wash ington, were opened yesterday. For the former the bids ranged from $72,000 to $24,000. Joseph Coons and R. J, Mahon, both of Baltimore, bid each, separately, the latter figure. For the hospital on Judiciary Square, tho bids ranged from $72,000 to $22,000, Joseph Coons putting in the minimum bid. W r . H. Allen, of Baltimore, bid $57,931.92 for both together. Northern Farmers in Eastern Virginia. A very general feeling has been manifested among young and enterprising men in our army in Virginia to make that State their future place of residence as soon os the rebellion is settled. They have been accustomed to labor on farms in more northern latitudes, and see here a very inviting prospect in the rewards sure to acoruo from indus try and well-direoted agricultural enterprise. The Pennsylvania Ninety-third. The Pennsylvania Ninety-third, from Lebanon county, arrived here’ last evening, and are quar tered at Kendall Green. They are under oommand of Colonel J. N. McCarter, who served as chaplain in the Fourteenth Pennsylvania three-months ser vice, under Colonel John W. Johnston, a brother of ex Governor Jotl'iStON. o„l.inel MpOahtiiii was formerly pastor of the St. Paul’s Mothodist Episcopal Church, in Catharine street, Philadelphia, and is well and favorably known in tho old district of Southwark. The regiment is 1.047 strong, and was raised by Colonel Mc.Cautkii in twenty-eight days. From the time the regiment left Lebanon, on Wednesday morning, the men never left the cars in a body until they reached Washington. John IV, Johnston 13 the lieutenant colonel of the regimen t. A Grand Review To-morrow. The army on this side of the Potomac, including infantry, cavalry, and artillery, will be reviewed to-morrow on east Capitol grounds. Gen. Meigs. This very efficient and popular officer will be con tinued at the head of the Quartermaster’s Depart ment ; reports to the oontrary being without foun dation in truth. Deaths of Pennsylvania Soldiers. The following soldiers died yesterday: Chas. H. Maszer, company M, Fourth Pennsyl vania Cavalry, at the Seminary, - George Bowers, company K, Twenty-third Pennsylvania Volunteers, at Columbian College. The Army Beer Contracts. The army' beef contracts hnve been closed. Thore nro three contracts, each for 4,000 cattle. Tho first was taken hy MoQuauk, of Pittsburg, Pa„ and Wm. T. Hildreth, Harrisburg, Pa., at $3.93, de livered at Pittsburg—the first delivery to be made on the .'!oth instant.

These lots, with that awarded October 20, le Maukle k Johnson, at $3.0, will complete tho call for 16,000 head. The bids ranged from $3.39 to $6. A Pennsylvania Soldier Shot. Private Svnir,, in Capt. Rodier’s company, Dislriot volunteers, was shot last night, and lies in a critical comlilum at the hospital to-day. He was in his camp nslcop, whoa a privato, in liquor, a real Baltimore Plug-ugly, was brought into the camp in irons. 110, however, got his hands through the handcuffs, nnd commonood pall ing tho bricks out of tho fire-pinoo and throwing them violently at the guard. Pre sently he seized a musket nnd aimed it at Lieut. Colonel Towhhn, who escaped the charge, whieh was lodged in the thigh of Private Sybil, then lying asleep. The limb is horribly mangled and cannot be saved, nnd the recovery of tho man is very doubtful. SvniL is from Altoona, Blair county, To., whore ha has a wife, to whom, s. few days ago, ho sent twenty-five dollars, out of twenty six dollars received as his dues up to Ist No vember. Washington PffWS RBd GffSfip. It is very evidont, from intelligence which has been received during the past three days, that the rebels are strongly fortifying Contreville. In an advance movement, tho first check that our treeps will receive will bo at this point. No one for a moment supposes that the rebels will pretend to give us battle there, but thet they will dispute the first ground with ua, and then fail bnek upon their strong positions, on our way to Richmond, and hazard a decisive battle, tho result of which must be the annihilation of their army. General McGlellan did not go over the river to-day. There is no movement in the army. Pennsylvania Soldiers m a Fracas. Two soldiers, absont beyond the time allowed, were diaeovered yesterday by a guard sent for them. They were found at the corner of Second and G streets disputing about tho possession of a coat, ■which the guard ordered them to deliver into his possession. The guard was answered by one of them in a surly manner, upon which ho raised his musket and dealt a severe blow, the lock striking his victim on tho temple, causing a dangerous, if not a fatal, wound. Tho parties were all taken to the camp of the Twenty-third Pennsylvania, where they belonged. Appointment of Consul. Col. Einstein yesterday took formal leave in this city of the officers of the regiment which he formerly commanded, having been appointed con sul to Nuremburg. He will leave for Europe by the next steamer. FROM MISSOURI. WARSAW BURNED BY THE REBELS, A Prisoner-Of-War Assassinated. St. Lons, Nov. 22.—Judge Thos. L. Richards, who has been confined as a prisoner of war in the hands of Col. Moore, of the Home Guards, was Shot dead while standing at the window of the court house in Memphis, Scotland county, on Monday last. Col. Moore hns offered a reward of 81,000 for the apprehension of the assassin, Jeffebson City, Mo., Nov. 22.—Passengers by tho train from the West report that tho rebols burnt the town of Warsaw night before last, to prevent it being used ns winter quarters for our troops. The intelligence reaohed Syracuse just before the train arrived, and is considered reliable. A quantity of government stores were destroyed. A traib of two hundred men left Sctlalia a few days ago for Leavenworth. A messenger from the train reached Sedalia at twelve o’clock last night; announcing that they had been attacked near Enob Nosterby a force of from five hundred to six hun dred rebels, and the train captured. Refugees continue to arrive here iu crowds, many being in a most destitute eendition. The Lower Potomac. Washington, Nov. 22—The I Vyandonk ran the blockade last night, reaching Indian Head about moonriso, and the navy yard this morning. She was not fired at. The steamer E. 11. Hall also ran the blockade downward last night, having on board a large quan tity of ammunition and ordnance stores generally. Two schooners, loaded with wood, rah the block ade successfully on Wednesday night. The enemy is apparently at werk on a new bat tery at Possum Nose, which is far above the others, on Mr. Otterbnoh’c land. The Steamer San Jacinto. Boston, Hoy. 22.—The steamer San Jacinto left Newport at midnight. Nets'Bedford, Nov. 22.—The steamer San Ja cinto was at Holmes' Hole at 10 o’clock this mom log- No communlcailoa was allowed with the shore. Sandy Hook Filot-boat Purchased by the Government. Nbw Yobk, Noy. 22 : —The Goywnnwnt lus purchased one of the Sandy Hook pilot-boats, and is examining several others with the same view. They are intended to be used as mail or despatch boats. British Neutrality. New Yoke, Nov. 22.—The Post of this evening says English letters state that the British Govern ment refuses to grant clearances from English ports to vessels having aboard arms for the United States, and shippers will hereafter he compelled to send such goods in vessels from continental ports. A Regiment of Franc Flreurs. Albany, Nor. 22.—Capt. Confort, of the French itfßVj Who has scrreci fourteen years in Algeria, has been, at the request of General McClellan, au thorized to raise a regiment of “ Franc Fireurs.” Their service will be special and under the imrne diate command of the General-in-chief. TnE Schuylkill Arsenal.— At present the principal materials being received at the above named arsenal (commonly called Gray’s Ferry Ar senal), comprise fabrics for army clothing, although camp kettles, canteens, ana the hundred other etceteras of a soldier’s outfit, still pour in in large quantities. Three furniture-car loads of blue cloth, for army overcoats, were yesterday delivered at the arsenal during our visit. The cloth is taken at once to the receiving and inspecting department, on the first floor, whore its length in yards is aster tained as follows: The cloth being unreeled upon a wooden roll about one foot in diameter, every revolution latter of course measures off & yard. Two men are required in the operation ; in faet, their sole busi ness consists in the measuring of the fabrics as they are received. As each package of cloth is finally wound off the reelf its length in yards is an nounced and entered in a memorandum-book. . At the northern and southern extremities of the receiving department, there are immense arched vaults, extending backward some twenty feet, and filled with army blankets. Tl»<? tepsQtiw of the ga»p kettles is extremely rigorous. They ore sounded in every part with a small hammer, and the experienced ear can thus detect, at the first blow, the slightest flaw or imper fection of their casting. Out of every hundred kettles inspected, not more than three or four are condemned. Hitherto a source of much difficulty at the ar senal was the prevention of the destruction of army cloth and clothing by the moths. It was required to be kept in bins which were furnishod with Closely fitting chintz curtains. Now, however, the moths have very little chance to carve out a repu tation for industry, for the garments are frequently forwarded to distant points before they have re mained three days upon the bins. The manufac ture ef packing-boxes, in which they are shipped, 1 jive's steady employment to about thirty men. The arsenal is commanded by Capt. Gibson, U. S. A., whose duties now are unusually onerous. Betyreen four and five thousand persons are fur nished employment either in or by the establish ment. • FHH.ABEI.PHtA IMPROVEMENTS IN MONTOUR. —Philadelphia capitalists arc largely interested In property on the lino of the Cittawisaa and Williams, port Railroad. The town V Danville, in particu lar, contains an immense ameunt of property in which Philadelphians are interested. There arc throe extensive iron manufacturing establishments in that place, the chidf of whieh is the Pennsylva nia, or Montour Iron Works. These were partially erected in 1839, as the Montour Iron Works, and lire among the most extensive in the United States. The anthracite furnaces, four-in number, are on a large soale, and torn out an immense quantity of metal. The rolling mills are furnished with three high trains, and are capable of producing 160 tons of finished rails in twenty-four hours. The hard ore is mined on the premises; white a large portion of the soft ore is brought from Lebanon. The ooal is from Wilkesbarre and vicinity ; the limestone is from quarries about two tuileS .ii.-Mfit, and to which a railroad has been constructed. These works em ploy'about 1,590 men, and the probability is they will be kept in motion during the coming winter. The Columbia furnaces are among the largest on the continent. The Rough and Ready Rolling Mills were erected in 1847, by Messrs, iianeock A Foley, who are the present proprietors. They also have three high (rains of rolls, and arc furnished with the most ap proved machinery. Like tho Columbia furnaces, f|iey also haye a direct connection with the Lacka wanna railroad, Hiid every facility for the manu facture, shipment ami .transportation of iron rails, df any size or pattern. The new furnace recently erected nt an enormous expense, is a massive struc ture, with a capacity of two hundred tons per week, The upright engine, gf 299 .hundred horso power, is a splendid piece of mechanism. They have a connection with tho Lackawanna railroad, together with every other appointment and appen dage essential to a complete establishment. The old Columbia furnace was the first anthracito fur- Race in ibis country, and was in operation until re cently. Danville, at present, contains fourteen ohurches, two academies, seventeen public schools, two literary societies, throe newspapers, two steam flouring mills, sixty-eight stores, seven hotels and taverns, with a diversified number of institutions, In 1850, the population of Danville was S.jm; 1855, it was 5,422, and Is now about 7,000, 35Q of whom are now in the Federal army.

Military Matters in Town.—Five cavalry, and some elovon infantry regiments, are now being formod in t.ho oity, nnii a number of recruiting stu* tions have been opened for the regular scrvico, in cluding nil the departments of artillery, cavalry, nml iiifnnliy. Colonel Kush bus, perhaps, the best of all the cavalry camps, at Second street and NicutOirn lane. The regiment has a mouutcd battalion drill every afternoon, thnt is witnessed by a large con course of people. Some of tho horses in possession of commissioned officers nro models of equine beauty and strength. The men hare now loarnmi to ride with freedom, and the magnificence of tho spectacle of eight hundred mon, dashing at a full gallop over a beautiful rolling field, has had no pa rallel spectacle in the neighborhood of tho city since the war commenced. A number of the riders have had awkward fulls in learning to ride, and Some painful accidents have happened. The horses, that wore in tho beginning sorry animals, havo by good treatment and oxer* cise, became slcok, active, and beautiful. The tents of tho camp were lately romoved to the north of the field, so that the men drill up to tho vory edge of tho woods on three sides. The road is lined daily with omnibuses and vehicles. Jioolhs havo been erected in tho adjacent woods, and thero is an abundance of liquor always at hand. Col. Kush’s men will go into tho field, at Washington, fully trained, cnpnble riders and swordsmen, and the ve locity of their first grand charge will be felt to the rebel centre. Two hundred men, attached to the regiment of Curtin Ilussars, are now encamped on ltidge ave nue, opposite the railroad depot. Four hundred men from the interior are expected to join the regiment shortly. The Irish Dragoons, Colonel Gallagher, late ca valry instructor at Carlisle barracks, are at Camp Henry, Frunkford. Tho various companies are daily receiving accessions to their ranks. Most of the officers have been in the English service. Five companies of Colonel It. Butler Price’s ro g’ment are encamped at Camp Patterson, on the arby road, a short distance beyond the Blue Bell. Two other companies are at Harrisburg, while five more are iu the course of formation throughout the different portions of this State. Colonel Lyle's infantry regiment of National Guards, well officered and rapidly augmenting, i 3 still enenmped at Oxford Park. To active, sober men, willing to serve for tho war, with ixpertenoed officers and gentlemnnly privates, the Guard is the most eligible of all the regiments now being formod Pennsylvania has now one hundred thousand five liuhdf Ad in Mi iii the field, Including some re giments that have not yet gone out from State camps. The whole force in the field is about 620,000 men, so that our State has contributed al most one-sixth of the whole numbor. Of Pennsyl vania’s quota Philadelphia has Sent about 2d,000, or nearly one-third. RThe mills are running on Government work day and night. Machinery has been altered, in most eases, so that munitions of war can be made in place of the implements of pence, as formerly. At the wagon works of llenry Simons, Second and Cumberland streets, large numbers of ambu lances, heavy baggage wagons, and tent poles are turned out every week. A wing is being added on the wetteffi Sid* Of the rihge of buildings, and additional steam power is being put in to drive the machinery. Messrs. Lambert & Mass are making largo quan tities of equipments for the United States marine service, and are busily engaged in turnino out trimmings and embroidery work fur army officers. Another branch of their establishment is enquired in mounting sword blades, which are principally imported from Germany. Messrs. Mills A Kershaw are running their fac tory night and day, without intermission, in making blue kersey cloths, which are used for making uniforms for those in the volunteer service. They have a force of about one hundred and fifty hands employed, two-thirds of whom are males, who tarn out 6,000 yards of the kersey each week, in addi tion to about 20,000 yards made by other manufac turers, which they finish. « | A cotemporary devotes some space to exhibiting the paltry condition of Philadelphia defences: 11 While the Chesapeake is defended by six forts, at a cost of five million seven hundred thousand dollars, tho Delaware bay and river are defended— nominally; by two forts, bat rouliy only one—whioh Cost one. million “four hundred and ninety-eight thousand dollars. New York harbor is defended by fovrteen forts, which cost three million seven hun dred thousand dollars. Now Orleans is protected by eight forts; which cost about two million seven hun. dred thousand dollars. Boston harbor has three im portant fortifications, which cost one million eight hundred and seventy-five thousand dollnrs. Pensaco la is defended by three first-class forts, which cost one million eight hundred thousand dollars. And even so insignificant a place as Mobile has its two first class fortifications, and one small outwork, which cost ft million five hundred and twelve thousand dollars —while the great, wealthy, and populous city of Phi ladelphia, with the riehand densely settled eeunlies ef Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, which skirt the Delaware bay and river, have but one fort, and thnt unfinished, and a mad bank, by cour tesy called Port Mifflin, which together havo cost less than one million five hundred thousand dollars. At the foot of the whole list, below even Pensacola and Mobile, they will find Philadelphia and Dela ware bay. The United States has established seven tiavy yards, located respectively in or near the cities of Boston, Portsmouth, XL Y,, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Pensacola, and San Fran cisco. The aggregate cost of these seven yards was 825,556,149, bntof this vast sum there has’beon spent upon the Philadelphia naryyard but 81,632,■ 472. As usual in such matters, Philadelphia is at th 6 foot of the list. While tho New Yorkyardcost over six millions, that of Norfolk nearly five mil lions. those at Pensacola and Boston nearly four million each, that at San Francisco oyer three and it quarter millions, and even tlic obscure establish ment at Portsmouth, N. H., over two millions, the Philadelphia yard cost but a little over a million and a half.” Kavai. Matters.— The side-wheel steamer State, of Georgia , which formerly ran between this port aud Charleston, but which was purchased by the Government about three months since, sailed te join the Wwkflding squadron yesterday after noon. The State of Georgia is a splendid steamer, of I, tons burden. She has been re-coppered and much improved in other respects, and, within tho last week, her armament has been put aboard. As a matter of reference, wo republish the following list of her officers: James F. Armstrong, com mander; Milton Haxton, lieutenant; F. H. Has kill,paymaster; Thos. R. Wilson, gunner; John J. Rogers, acting master; Charles Poison, do. ; 4V®- E. Welch, do. j 11. P. Cooley, acting master's mate; Isaac.Hallock, do.; John J. Hughes, do.; James Wilkinson, first assistant enginoer; David Pike, second do.; Jacob D. Rogers, third do.; William H. Miller, third do.; Thomas Nesbit; Win. J. K, Morris, captain's clerk, Tho Adolph Hugel, and Maria Wood, which were purchased about the same time as the State of Georgia , will follow her as soon as their armaments can be got on board. Their destination is alsc to join the blockading fleet. The special committee of Councils, to whom was referred the subject of the extension of the Phila delphia navy yard, held a meeting on Thursday, and had before them various plans, and after an examination of them, a sub-committee was appoint ed to communicate with the owners of property not only adjoining the yard, but also at League Island, and other suggested sites, in order to ascer tain the lowest prices, &c. Wo hare already noticed the arrival of the Ta* homa at the navy yard. The time occupied in the trip to this city from Chester was one hour and twenty minutes. Her engines were designed by Chief Engineer B. F. Isherwood, and'constructed under the superintendence of Chief Engineer Dan* by, of the navj yard; they are of the horizontal, back action variety, with surfaoe condensers, cyl inders 30 inches diameter, 18 inch stroke. Screw Ik of brass, 9 feet diameter, with 12£ feet pitch. There-are 23 toss of brass in the engines, the cost of which is ono»third that of the whole engines. Her armament consist of eight 32-pound guns, one 10-inch Dahlgren amidshfp, and one howitzer on forecastle. She is to be commanded by Capt. John C. Howell, U< S. N.,who was engaged in the Hatteras Inlet expedition, and there is no doubt but that the Ta/toina, under command of this efficient young officer, will give a good account of herself. Fatai Accipento.—Mr. Davison, residing at the northwest corner of Thirteenth and South streets, died at six o’clock yesterday morning, from a gun-shot wound in the calf of the log, re ceived last Wednesday. Mr. H. was gunning on the farm of Mr. Robert Givens, nt Norristown, with three other gentlemen, and the shot was acci dentally inflicted by one of them, Mr. Janies Bryan. Since the accident Mr. Davison has been in terrible suffering, and mortifioation having token place, he died as above stated. On Thursday afternoon, about half past four o’clock, a lad named Benjamin F. Garver, eight years of age, was killed on the North Pennsylvania Railroad, at Germantown avenue and Otter street. He attempted to jump upon a freight train, be tween two ears, and fell upon the track. One of the cars passed across his. body lengthwise, muti lating him in a horrible manner. The remains of the deceased were conveyed to the residence of bis parents in the rear of No. 1116 Germantown avenue. A Chapter op Accidents.— Yesterday morning, a man named William Greenwood 1 had his am broken by being caught in the belting at the factory of Croroner & Brother, Gormantown. _ Jacob Deamer, aged twenty-three years, had his right leg crushed yesterday, by being run over with the Reading Railroad cars, at Broad and Callowhill streets. He was employed as a drivor, and was turning off the switch when he felt, and three ears passed over him. ITc was taken to the hospital, whore the mangled limb was amputated He resides at No. Kilt Thompson street John White, aged twenty-three, had one of the fingers of his left hand blown off yesterday, by tho accidental discharge of a gun, nt Darby. He was taken to tho hospital. The Two Shewwfs.— lt will be remembered that the Court of Common Pleas referred the ques tion of who should be commissioned ns sheriff to the Governor of tho Commonwealth. Governor Curtin haS declined to interfere in the matter, and ho has referred back to (he court (lie question of who is sheriff di et. Mr. Thompson has already offered his securities, and Mr. Kwing, we are informed, is about to do the same thing. We have previously had two district attorneys,-and are in a fair way of having two governments. Two sheriffs or two mayors we are now prepared- for. Counterfeit Note Case. —Yesterday coun terfeit SIO on tho Waterbary Bank of Connecticut were freely passed in different parts of the city, man, whose name wo could not asoertain, was ar rested in the Fifth ward for passing them. Fire. —The alarm of fire about nine o’clock yesterday morning was oaused. by the boiling over of a pot of pitch, which was being used for placing a fire-proof roof upon a warehouse on Broad street, above Cherry. The flames wore speedily extin guished, COHBITION OP THE PHILADELPHIA, Wlf.MlNO ton, ANn Baltimore Uailiioaii. —The following statement of tlie cunditiun of the above railroad has been forwarded from Boston, where this stock is largely dealt in. The Boston authority says; “ When the rcboiiion hroko out, the Wilmington was doing us a business under the management of Mr. Felton ns would have made it a regular H per e*nt. slock, after certain improvements and ex penditures had been met. Since that time its earn ings have increased very much, from the Govern ment and other business which had been heaped upon it. In October alone, the increase was $09,000 over the earnings nf Oetobor, Ifififi. November bids fair to show an equally handsotno gain. Whether the war be long or short, Washington cannot but be a grent. military as well as political headquar ters henceforward, and the Wilmington is tncro fore Bure of a large business, far surpassing that which it enjoyed before 1881, but which really netted 8 per cent, to tlie corporation. But the bare possibility that tlio rebels might occupy Wasli ington and menace Baltimore has greatly depressed the Wilmington in the market, „„d it Is Only os these fours hale been vanishing thnt Ihe stock has rapidly ndvnneetl. V<• like to talk plain]v. and see no fotieoli why We tdiouid nuL do ao. it' oar viewrf are incorrect, they will fall to the , }) r Q never atop for insinuations. Wo consider Wilming ton worth par, ($5O per share) for tho reason that it is in good order, is well managed, has a moderate debt, provided for by a sinking fund, and h earning tCll tft twelve per pent per annum. It may 3i)f s |y ho assumed to pay 91 por ahnro (night per cent.) hereafter, and in this view wo cannot perceive why it should not sell for ns much as the Northern, that pays $4, or th© Eastern, that pays $4. Thero is much morn probubilityjusf now, tiiut the Wilming* ton will pay more than $4 than that tho Northern and Enstern can increase thoir dividends. Our plain inferenc is, therefore, that, although Wil mington has advanced rapidly, it is yet very cheap, in view of its condition, management, profits, nnil security from damage by treason. The MrniJEn or Cot*. Van- Gkrtikr —Arrest of a PniLAi>Ki.i*inAN.—A telegraphic' despatch from Washington, received yesterday, suited that tho principal in tho recent murder of Lieut. Col. Van Gerber (which took place in that city on Friday last) had just been wrested in Hal timore. His name was not given. It was stated, however* that his arrest had been sotmrod thrnmdi tho instrumentality of a Philadelphian and a Balti morean, who, having themselves been apprehended on the charge of committing the deed, had turned State’s evidence, Wo are informed that a day of turn ainco Liaut. Tolbert, of the Twenty-fourth-ward police, agisted by one of his officers, arrested a young man named Richard Esray, upon the charge o' having been implicated in the affair. The arrest was made in pursuance of instructions from headquarters, on Saturday evening last, at which time Esray reached this city, haring fled from Washington on Saturday morning. Esray is a butcher by trade, and was in the em ploy of Mr. John 11. Jones, who ha 3 lately secured a Government contract. He had always borne a reputable character so far as we can ascertain, and it will probably be shown upon the trial that ho had no actual hand in the crime. Ho is doubtless the Philadelphian referred in the above despatch, na having turned Stated Guidance. Yesterday another young man residing in the Twenty-fourth ward, whoso name we are induced to withhold from considerations of propriety, but who was arrested on the previous day, upon the charge 6f keieg ecneerned in the murder, had a, hearing before Mayor llenry. The evidence pro duced against him failed to substantiate the charge, and the mayor accordingly directed his release. Lieut. Col. Van Gerber, of the New York volun teers. was an esteemed officer, who had seen s&F vice, and acquired considerable military experi ence. He was as generous as he was brave, and won many warm friends in the rank 3 of his com mand. The motive that could have prompted his murder remains a mystery. It appears that on Friday night last, while the deceased Colonel was in the act of entering a car riage in front of a concert saloon in Washington, he was struck upon the head with n slung-shot, in tho hands of an unknown party. It is believed that Ihe assailant must have been mistaken in the identily of his victim, for upon no other theory can the affair be explained. The trial will be invested with considerable interest. COLLISION ON THE GrEItttAMWN KOAD.— The down grade of the Germantown steam railroad, whereby cars formerly ran into the city from Ger mantown by gravity, very nearly resulted in a se rious accidcDt on Thursday. Attuchod to the rear of a local train was a long platform car loaded with “sleepers.” When near Germantown, the latter car became detached from tho train, and commenc ed a return trip to tho city. The farther the car ran, tho greater tho spued attained, and by tho time C&m&c’s wood 3 was reached, the car was making fifty miles per hour. As the curve at that point was rounded, a passenger train for Germantown was encountered. This train was drawn by the engine “Tioga.’ 7 The stray car was discovered, and the engineer immediately reversed his engine, but was unable to prevent a collision. On came the car with immense velocity, and struck the locomo tive with great force. The latter was considerably injured. The machinery was very much deranged, and it is thought that several hundred dollars will be required to repair damages. The engineer and fireman escaped by leaping from the engine. Tho engineer was somewhat bruised, and made an ex tremely narrow escape. It is said that his hat was knocked off by one of the sleepers, which were scattered in all directions by the collision. Although some of the platform? on the cars were .crushed, fortunately none of tho passengers sustained any injuries. The IYar Axn the Literary Societies In the fall and winter of 1859 and 1860 literary sociotios and debating clubs sprang up rapidly iu this city. Every ward, every grammar school, every fire company, every High School class, had its literary conclave. A literary congress wa3 inaugurated, and thescrvloes of a newspaper organ secured. But in spite of such auspicious pros pects the interests of tho literary world were doomed to premature decline. The Congress died before its first birthday anniversary, and the socie ties went out one by one. A few of Iho older organizations withstood the wreck of matter, and arc still in the hey-dey of prosperity. They have all responded to the call ef duty and of patriotism. The following is a statement of the number of men they have fur nished to the volunteer service. It is as full as can be made at present: Humboldt Literary Institute 22 Mechanic Literary Institute...... ..19 Byron Literary A55emb1y............. ..15 Southwark Literary Circle. .................. .24 Osceola Assembly.

Tho National Guards aud Washington Grays, of tho three-months service, were largely made up of “ men of letters," and at least nine-tenths of the Commonwealth Artillery were members of such organizations. The Empiosion at Dupont's Powbeb. Mim.s. —The explosion at Dupont’s powder mills, near Wilmington, which was distinctly heard in this city, on M'edncsday morning, occurred at 11 o’clock. The casualties are said to be three or four men killed, named Samuel Russell, Charles Mulhrien, and John Vizier. A fourth man was killed, name unknown. The remains were so blackened and mutilated that their friends could not recognize them. Martin Dolan was near one of the mills, and narrowly escaped. The explosion was the most- powerful since the explosion of the powder wagons in Fourteenth street, Wilmington, some years ago, It shook many houses in Wilmington violently, and was sensibly heard and felt at Point Breeze and WilmiDgton, but was not felt or heard at Kew Castle. The tliTelliDjg-liuuses of the pro prietors of the estate are said to be very much damaged, and considerable work and time will be required to put them in repair. The operatives in a manufactory ou the opposite side of the Brandy wSne creek were terribly anected by the concus sion ; one of the girls is said to have died from it. The glass was all shattered out of the mill, and some of the machinery displaced. Tiie Ptratk William Smith. — The pirate Smith, now confined in Moyainensing prison, has recently attained some notoriety, by reason of the retaliatory action taken upon his cose by the rebel General winder, of Richmond. A number of gal lant soldiers, now prisoners in the rebels' hands, have been cast into loathsome and unhealthy apartments at Richmond; and the only warrant for this treatment was the rumor that Smith had been similarly cared for. The fact is, that Smith is treated with far more courtesy than his crimes on* title him to. His cell is in the second oorridordn the untried department. A companion shores his imprisonment in the same cell. They have proper furniture and excellent food and ventilation. Forty-three cents per day i 3 allowed for his Sub sistence by Government, and ibis h more than molt laborers require in the item of food. The county prison would be, in some sort, a palace to the Rich mond folks; but for the pirates confined there half the cells would be empty. There has been no sickness of any account for some time, and the whole edifice is a model of cleanliness and good order. The army vote has been the cause of trouble not only in Philadelphia, but also in Lu zerno county. The Board of Return Judges which met on the 1 2th instant, after a warm discussion, protracted until two o’clock in the morning, de cided not to enumerate the returns of companies which bore on their face evidence of fraud, or wore not made out in accordance with law,but to count these votes on a separate slip of paper, aud to give certificates of election upon the county vote. This proposition was carried by a vote of 33 in favor to 29 against; whereupon the minority seceded aud organized A top&t&U Ccmhtiob. Caught in thb Act.—Yesterday afternoon a young man was caught in tho act of entering a building at Sixth and Walnut streets with a false koy. As soon as detected he made bis way to the street, and attempted to escape. Detective Tag gart, who was passing at the time, pursued the offender and captured him. Tlte prisoner had on his person a purse made of silk and steel beads, with a silver clasp, bearing the initials “ C.W. B.” The accused will have a further hearing on Mnn> day afternoon, at the Central Police Station. The owner of this purse should be present. Tbouble in the Lotteries —The Kentucky lotteries liiivu been drown secretly, in Wilmington, Del., for several weeks, instead of in the State ol' Kentucky, ashas been represented. The Wilming tonianß demurred at such irregularity, and the lot tery commissioners, printers, and clerks of John A. Morris A Co.’s establishment wore summoned before thn Brand Jury at Now Castlo, on Wednes day, to prove, what is not denied, that the Dela ware lotteries are drawn in Wilmington Tho Grand Jury presented a bill t» the court. Nine thousand ietters wore distributed through the oily on Thuisdny, by the post office, carriers. The utility of our postal system—tl-p best in the world —is demonstrated from this state ment. At the same rate per day, there would be distributed during a y »ar 3,283,000 letters, not in cluding the enormous, business transacted by post office boxes, frankel matter, and newspapw ex changes. Dischaboed. —Samuel Eaken, arrested and confined in Forts Lafayette and Warren, f« giving bis aid and talent to the rebel agents, the Stoats, of Richmond, has been released, and has leturnod to this city.

The market has no appearance of panic, but seems fo wilt under a desire to sell out stocks held on small mar gins. As soon as this process is exhausted the market will rally. The pressure to sell the railroad shares is very marked, and after the Board a fall of #<ail per cent, took place.
