A few weeks ago, we should have finished these
articles with that entertainment but for a me•
lancholy incident. Row could any one write
a chapter on gourmanderie, with the sadden
ing knowledge that Very's was shut up ? So
the fact is. The Pit Royal, which 80 long
rejoiced in the Trois Fri.res Proven coax and
in Very's—only a few steps separated—ought
to he hung in mourning Ibr the extinction of
Very's: Well! at all events, It h. been
Moore has put Very's into the eternal embed
zation of his "Fudge Family in Paris." Our
own private impression, by the way, is that
Tom Moore, innocextly enough, helped to kill
Very's. He made its name so fareiliar in Eng
land, after the downfall of Napoleon, that all
English visitors went (pardon the puh) to Ve
ry-fy his descriptions. To dine where Bob
Fudge had realized the perfection of French
cookery became the object of English ambi
tion, and during, the last forty y6ats Very's
has been haunted by the islanders. Two re
sults arose—the carte gradually became less
and less Parisian, and more like what, had
such a no..elty been there admitted, one might
have expected at Dolly's Chop-house, off Pa- .
ter-noster Row, in London, and Frenchmen
ceased to frequent a house whichwas becoming
less and less perfect in its cuisine. The num
ber of English visitors_ to Paris has much di
minished since the Italian War of 1859, and
the English e4/911Y 9f allrthetycartround visit
tors has almost wholly been dispersed. So,
home and foreign customers having subsided,
Very's has become a 'mere memory of the
Fast. We Slieind diop a fear upon these last
words, but it might create the indignation of
our compositor by rendering the "copy" ille
gible.
[By the way, it is right for printers to know
that, while, until a recent period, actors were
legally designated " Vagabonds," in England,
a statute passed le thy rcign of Queen Anne
distinctly declares that printers, like attornies,
aro gentlemen. The distinction arose in this
wise : When swords formed a part of genteel
they were worn by many who, neither
by birth, education, nor calling, were entitled
to be considered gentle-men. To place the
matter out of dispute, an Aet of Paplia.nseiit
was passed, in which were set forth the va
rious classes authorized to wear swords, or
rapiers, as part of their costume, and, in this
statute, printers are expressly named as en
titled to what, at that period, was considered
a privilege. The word " printer," in the time
of Queen Anne, meant the compositors who,
out of a chaos of type, put men's thoughts
into the form which preserves them, if worthy,
for the future as well as the present. Em
phatically, then, every compositor is " a
gentleman,” by Adt of PArllamant—in a word,
by the same authority which, justifying the
removal of the Stuarts, acknowledged William
of Orange BS Xing of England, and made the
Hanoverian Guelph succeed ig brandy-faced

There were two of the name. Emmerich
Vattel, born at Neufchatel in 1714, died in
/707. At the age of thirty-two he was sent
by the Republic of Berne on an embassy to
Frederick Augustus, the King of Poland, and,
having much leisure in this capacity, devoted
it to study and authorship—the principal re
sult being a work, " The Law of Nations; or,
Prineiples of the Law of Nature Applied to
the Affairs of Nations and Sovereigns," first
published in 1766, which has gone through
many editions, been translated into several

The St. Louis Republican, of Friday, says:
The reports are that General Rains has advanced
acing the Kansas border with his division, and is
now somewhere in Bates or Ow otanty_ those
reports are true, it is reasonable to suppose that the
rebels under Renick, Hayes, and Webb will seek a
junction with him, and are probably concentrating
for that purpose.

their possession, they could hold the place until
spring. These hopes, however, are destined to
disappointment. The scattered squads of Seces
sionista m the western port of the stete will be pre
vented from making a rendezvous at St. Joseph, as
measures have been taken to garrison that locality
strongly. The Fiftieth Illinois Regiment and de
tachments of other regiments along the Hannibal
gt, thseph road have been ordered to a.
Joseph ) and, at this writing, there are thirty-five
hundred troops at that city. More will be posted
there soon, and the work of pacification begun in
earnest.
Little is known of the precise whereabouts or
the main body of Price's army. The people of
Sedalia have worked themselves into considerable
apprehension on account of rumors that the enemy
was marching to take possession of that point. The
troops at Sedalia are under command of General
Sherman, and are numerically strong enough to
resist any force lady to be brought against them,
sinee'it is highly improbable that any design of at
tacking the Union soldiers exists at present.
There is now no doubt - in Parafefiee, to Price
having advanced from Springfield with part, at
least, of his oommand. As we have before said,
however, this movement is more for victuals than
fight, as the rebel soldiers seem to bo scattered over
#lO Mary in all directions—some towards LAIL
WM aid Linn Creek, others towards Osceola, others
again towards Warsaw, while seine are West, to
wards Kansas. It is true they could all be con
centrated in a short time for offensive operations,
but to Our mind appearances certainly do not paint
to ;Tuella proceeding. The worst features we see in s
recent rebel movements are the ravages and out
rages that are being perpetrated in neighborhoods
but lately protected by the loyal troops.
The southeastern corner of the State is just now
the seers or active preparations by the rebels under
General Polk. We have a report, which may be
considered reliable, that the Confederates are in
force at New Madrid, making strong fortifications
there, t 9 operate against the gunboats when the
Mississippi expedition is in readiness. These works
are probably designed to strengthen Columbus, by
rendering an attack in the rear from the Missouri
side more hazardous. The fortifications at Colum
bus have likewise been considerably
and additional cannon mounted. Rebel . operations
in that water have indeed, within the last two
weeks, been prosecuted with extraordinary vigor,
showing the enemy is alarmed and apprehensive.

So far, there has been . certainly nothing that
would signify a movement before spring, yet affairs
may at any moment change inaspect, and an offen

at Cairo, ready to man the vessels at once, while
anchored near the Kentucky shore is the Steamer

armament for them.
When assembled in one fleet the gunboats and
floating batteries will be formidable indeed, and,,of
course, no important movement will take place un
til they are ready, unless Columbus and the forti.:
fled places be avoided, and blows struck by law
forces at *lapsed spots in the enemy's country.
Perhaps this will be the plan adopted, yet it
would differ from so-called correct military autho
rity, by leaving a formidable body of foomen en
trenched in the rear, and ready to dribs 5h6.1.1

been.developed of rebel resources, and proves that
brilliant invention can often claim dire necessity
for its mother. Up the Tennessee river they have
been tek.r . Ibly fright...a by our adventurous gun

them for some time. Secession wit has, therefore,
bent itself eagerly to conceivea remedy, and has,

They have taken small boats and placed tightly
compressed cotton bales within their hulls, and
like a wall along the decks, encircling the guns,
and rising above the heads of men. Those bales
are impervious to the heaviest shot, and naval men
say that, properly armed, the boats would be most
formidable craft. The cotton, being already loaded,
will be easier carried to market when our fleets get
ready to start.
Among the hapertant changes here lately has
been that of Fort Prentiss to the name of Fort Cai
ro, by order of Gen. McClernand. To the many
admirers of the general, in honor of whom the fort
was first called . , the change is highly distasteful,
and excites severe criticism. Col. Bugord, with his
regiment, the Twenty-seventh Illinois, has boon as
signed the command of it, and their quarters have
been changed to that vicinity. The following is
the order of Gen. IttoClernand :
BRIGADE lIRADQUARTERS,

[General Order No. 23.]
It is ordered that the fort established at thejunc

THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
Gen. Buell anti the Removal of the•Re
bel Capital to Nashville
The Louisville correspondent of the Chicago
Times, writing from that city under date of Nov..
2G, says :
When some person, the other day, called Gen.
Bell's attention to the telegraphic statement that
Jeff Da-vis' Congress had determined to transfer
their " capital" from Richmond to Nashville, he
seemed tickled at such presumption, and replied :
" That's - where we aro going." By the way, there
is more of Jaak Patin courage then miy other
kind in this new move of the rebel conspirators.
The East Tennessee Johnsonites and Brcwnlow
itcs have interrupted communication by the Ten
nessee and Virginia. Railroad ; and they cannot
1511 'how soon Can. Sl:termer!, of the coast expedi
tion, may make a drive in the direction of Branch
ville, South Carolina, and so break the south
eastern chain of railroad connection. This would
leave the pirate magnates no back-door of escape
when Meoleiiali closes 6 on them. It is quite
possible that, in transferring their apparatus and
archives of treason to Nashville, they add nothing
of permanence to their den of location. But, "he
that fights and runs away may live to fight another
day." This is what they wes. en when
they resolved on the transfer. Nashvillelias three
back-doors of escape—the Chattanooga and Tennes
see and Alabama Railroads, by moans of which
they can fly into Alabama and Geergia, arid a little
sireteli of the Nashville and Northwestern Rail•
road, upon which they could spirit themselves away
into the wilderness, if pressed out of measure and
cut off from the others. Then they have a conve
nient front , door of retreat, in the Memphis road.
Besides, the country around - Nashville abounds in
good turnpike roads, running southward. The
Confederate carpet-knights wish to be as convenient
ly situated as possible for a precipitate flight into
Noxico, when our boa-constrictor begins to tighten
his coils.
The tomfool Russellville Convention despite the
objections of Charleston and other rebeinewsapers,
persisted in " making Secession ridiculous," But
they took the precaution to have a guard of six
thousand man marched tt, Rumellvillc from Bow
ling Green, lest some of "Lincoln's men" should
convert the farce into a tragedy. Up to Tuesday
evening last they had effected nothing farther than
to organize their cabal.
LATE FROM THE SOUTH
The South Caroltog 4ptgrabands,
The Columbia (S. C.) papers publish the fol
lowing official letter from General Drayton to
Governor Pickens :
Ckan LEE, Ilinannott.t.m, Key. lA, 1881.
To Lis Excellency Governor P. W. Pic. - ens, Co
hembia, S. C.:
SIR : At the request of your Excellency, made
baedQusrtere r have the ,
tulle and "Al - wrier oY the negrocs in - nits - portaimor
the State entrusted tomy immediatetemmand. So
far from there being any insurrectionary feeling
among them, I can assure your Excellency that
have neither seen nor heard of any net of pillaging,
of violence in any direction.
It is true that the negroes of a few plantations
have shown a spirit of insubordination, by refusing
to move higher up the country, when ordered to
do so by their owners, but this disobedience should
be emigned rather to a feeling of dismay tad utter
helplessness at being left alone and unprotected by
the precipitate abandonment by their masters of
their plantations, than from any organized plan of
resistance to the authority they had been aCCIEL
toned to obey. Rat I e,oti feel much satistac
tion in stating, for the information of your Ex
cellency, that the negroes are fast recovering from
their fright, and coming forth from their hiding
places, ,and quietly and submissively resuming
their egrioultural labors, without ilia gaidanse, oi
presence, in many instances, of either master or
overseer.
In conclusion, would respectfully advise that
all planters andoverseers, who are not mustered
into service, and MS 693Sefi or agoras of property
upon the mainland, should, without delay, return
to their several neighborhoods, and thus, by their
presence, prevent a recurrence of that excitement
among their people which has been due in a great
measure to their absence.
With much respect, your obedient servant,
Titimes F. DRAYTON,
Brigadier General Commanding,

The Cotton Crop and the New Defences
_ .
of - Savannah.
A letter in the Richmond Examiner from
Charleston, dated November 21, says :
The amount of cotton ahagileged en the Amite.
dons was very ceninderable. It is not easy to esti
mate the quantity with certainty, but is generally
said to be about fifteen hundred bales. Many of
the planters, before quitting, set fire to their crops
and such ether combustible property on their pre
mises as could not be removed. It is eertainly to
be regretted that, in the confusion that prevailed,
this very proper stet was not more generally taken.
But the first surprise at the invasion has now died
Oita', and I think. the Northern Cievartirasat
reckon, without fear of mistake, that it has obtained
the very last bag of cotton and also the last contra
band, that it can ever hope to seize by pouncing
upon the coast of South Carolina. Concerted ar
rangements between the planters and the military
authorities have wisely been made by which no
plantation will in future be abandoned until the
crop is utterly consumed, the gin-house and other
buildings destroyed, the live stook driven of, and
the Wish removed to the interior: In the meat
oxpoaed localities, that is, the ialanda adjacent to
Port Royal, on which the enemy may at any mo
ment make his appearance, the work of destruction
is already commenced.
For the past few [hue gangs of usgrus from the
seacoast, laden with such effects as they can carry,
and followed by droves of mules and horses, have
been passing through this city on their way to the
back country. Plight before lust the whole atmos
phere is the eltjr, and for miles around, notwith
standing the bright moonlight, was hazy and lurid.
Many could not account for the phenomenon. It
was the effect of the wholesale conflagration of cot
ton now going on at Bdio-6., and other islands num
vardisg hattrakti Post Ri. 7 .1..,101...-10.tou. Where
ever the marauders choose next to land—and it is
useless to disguise the fact that they can land at a
great many points—they will find nothing but de
vastated fields, deserted by all save the avenging
presence of the partisan rifleman.
The patriotic sacrifice which has been made by
our planters is all the greater when we consider
that the crops of the past season have/ar exceeded
the best ever known.
In my last letter I alluded to the strength of the
defences of Charleston. Savannah also has been
strongly fortified on a plan for which the conforma
tion of its harbor affords peculiar facilities,
and I
understand that General Lee says that that city is
now in a c9PAitin t 9 sada a pratractal and auo.
mato/ defence. General Lee has gone to Bruns.

The Union Forces on the South Carolina
the savannah liepullicoit of the 21st says :
The distance of Hilton Head from the mainland,
and the hazardtus nature p of all navigation in the
neighborhood, renders it difficult for our forces to
iippolidik near enougla form any very definite
idea of their number or movements. It is under
stood, however, on pretty reliable authority, that
the enemy has abandoned Beaufort and Port Royal
Island, on which it is situated, and are now marled
to Hilton Bead, Pinknoy Island, immediately west
and separated from the former by Skull creek and
the point known as Bay Point, on Jenkins' Island,
across the sound and opposite Fort Walker on Hil
ton Bead.
It is said they ant throwing up eittmeise and fa
midable works on Hilton Head, thus giving evi
dence of an intention to make a permanent lodg
ment on the island. Skull creek is now completely
under their oentrol , and the works at Braddock 's
Point, on the south end of the island; command the
entrance to Deufriski sound.
It is said that a party of two Fedorala ventured
on the main, and a day or two since, when being
discovered by our men, one of them was captured;
the other got to his boat in time snit azig.dg gind hie
escape. Thu prisoner states that the fleet landed
about 12,000 of the 20,000 with whom they set sail.
lie could give no account of the remaining 8,000.
The Savannah News publishes the following :
On Wednesday last, Mr. .joha Qhaplig took w ith

plantation of aunt, Mrs. Dunn, on Daufuski
Island, for the purpose of bringing away such pro

the tide favored. About two o'clock yesterday
morning the door of the hottse was broken down by
a party of ten Lincolnites, who captured Mr. Ohap

from the island in a boat. Two of the negroes
escaped—one, who was in the cellar of the house,
fled to the woods; another, who was sleeping in
one of the chambers, jumped from the second-story
window, and running to a point on the Wand

Intelligence from Richmond.
Tbfi Waitangi= corzospontiont of the New Tort
Tribune says:
A Union spy who left here some three weeks ago
for Richmond arrived to day, having left the latter
Vac! Winifictik,flliest, Lie brings important in.
teuigence which he immediately communicated to
our Government. Ho says the greatest excitement
prevailed in Richmond and throughout the South
respecting the naval and military expeditions along
the entire Southern coast. The troops from the
States most exposed signified their determination
to return home, and largo numbers had already
started. In Richmond, a few days before he left,
much diffioulty was experienced in quelling a re
built= spirit araerig sweral i ? gh.onts' from
Georgia, South Carolina. and Louisiana.
They were restrained only by positive promises
from Jeff Davis and the Secretary of War that a
sufficient number of troops should be despatched
from those States to protest net only the States, b u t
to drive the "infernal Yankees" from Southern
soil. He states that preparations are being made
to remove the capital from Richmond. The Vir
ginians, however, were indignant, and were threat
ening divers things against their Congress. There
seemed to be, be says, a very general feeling among
the Southern people to abandon Virginia entirely,
and alio* her to fall into the hands of the Federal
Government. They regarded it as too expensive
to keep en army as hereoll. The rebels' hope now
is, judging from what he heard them say, merely to
keep our army from advancing into the interior
from their coast landings.

Goo. James 11, Lane in Tremont Temple.
Boston Transcript gives the followingsketeh
of a sivech delivered in Boston, on the morning of
the 80th lilt., by General Jame 11. Lane :
Senatoe/ane was received with tremendous ap-
plause. Alter the applause had subsided, he said
that he felt embarrassed at addressing the assem
blage before .him. When be set out in life, bis
mother said thew Was fiabin i s t o prevent his Mee
cess in life but Ysig unconquerable modesty. lie
thought he had gat bravely over that, but still he
was embarrassed wilco) he now found himself.
The speaker desired tothank the mph ? of Boston
for what they lied ‘7.frae, for leansas, which now,
thanks to the liberalite of the people of Massachu
setts, and the hardihood of the men in Kansas, was
as sound in political sentitstent as imp of her proud
sisters.
General Lane said, ail ifireld , reaeliNhair for die
institution of slavery had hem dies/imbed, and he
asked of his audience hour much reverence they
had left for the institution He then briefly
sketched the efforts to fasten slavery upon Kansas,
and described the commencement of the rebellion,
His thee latiir ?fs .ted the audience,
Are you not in favor of crushing ont the &eaves ?
We want a peace—one founded on principle: He
is a coward who desires a patched-up disc/saints
; ance of the war, knowing that ja ß dildrnma i k e ..
%Med finaginitry conversations
with the soldiers of Generals Price and Hallecisise
armies. Ask those under the former, and they
say that they arc fighting for slavery ) and le kre'
those of the !att.:. ilale'cleis army is fighting to'
crush treason, but for slavery. The General their
described a case where fourteen negroes had '
es
caped to his camp, and he protected them:
Ile was subsequently ordered to return thaw to
their masters He sought his superior officer, and
told him that he would obey any legitimate order.
but he should decline to obey this, as it was not In. gitimate. How many brave soldiers are thepeeple
of Massachusetts willing to sacri fi ce for the institu
tion ? As for himself, not a single deep of blik.V. •
would ho shed to save the accursed System.
The slaves could be easily won over by kindness.'
When the Kansas brigade first went into Missouri,
the alarm./ were a " little off." They had been told '
all sorts of stories as to the treatment they would
receive from Lane's men, But a few Central/nib,
who were with the brigade, soon informed them as •
to the falsity of these reports, and slaves flocked •
into their camp. Many were sent to Kansas, and •
went to work in the new 4tnty,
It we were prof/muting this war to maintain
slavery and crush treason, it would require two
armies, and the slavery-preserving army would
hare to be very careful how it struck, as the insti
tution was a very delicate T r -grigigiitio, and could
of sterol war. In Missouri the policy that had
been pursued bad enabled the disloyal masters to
use their slaves against the Government. If we
were fighting the war to whip the South, let us
make an of all the means ithi arc placed in our
power. Arm The negro against the negro.
To illustrate his position, the- General said he
would deduce a homely illustration. While he
was in school he belonged to a fighting class, and
had made his way next to the
_,4 / 54.4, wi tgrn wan
61g fellow named Joe Darrag h, fat was none of
your "hitting above the belt" games in those days,
but regular scratching and gouging.
Darragh maintained his supremacy, until one
day he went in bathing, and received a, mini.
heeisa /5. Pric%ron, law waited
on his antagonist, and was shown the exact location
of the bruise. The next day, the taro champions
went at it again, and the fight continued. until Lana
planted a well-tfireci94 hick agairat the bruited
part et Darragtea leg, when the latter bellowed
like a calf, and cried " Enough."
The rebellion had a-sorer spot than there was in
Jo Darragh's leg, and a blow properly directed
would soon effectually destroy it. /_-t. PAlkiitert, if
the proper policy had been pursued regard to
the slaves, there would have been a howl in rebel
dom before this time. And so in Missouri.
Can't admit slaves in our lines, because they will
betray us. That is a lie. I would like to ask Gan.
Halleck when he learnt that slaves betrayed Fede
ral armies. We had in our brigade 500 , slaves, and
the brigade received more valuable information
from them as to the movements of the enemy than
from all other sources beside. They aro faithlla
ettt gfaterul. They would die a thousand deaths
rather than betray one secret of their liberators.
It is enough to replace upon their limbs the shackles
without lying about them. Gen. Ilalleok's experi
ence may be different from mine. But where has
he had any experienee? Don't undaretarid ate as
denouncing Gen. Italleck. But I have been taught
to denounce wrong and vindicate the weak, and
when I fail to defend the weak who have been de
famed, may God condemn me to the infernal rd
&ions- IJo not whit to denounce Gen, mamma. I
have never seen him. lie is a stranger to me ; but
he has made a statement that I know to be false.
Here the speaker detailed a humorous incident,
showing how the Siave.owners cling to their human
property. A lady, large, fat and forty, ha Etllo
sons in the Secession ranks. She also had two
slaves, who had encas ed from her claret:ea. Thla
wo.min came to the General's quarters to look after
her property: She was informed that the
were beyond her reach, and that Lane was in put.-

Four of the Kansas Brigade were taken by the
Secessionists and turned over to the mercy of the
Indians, who, after shooting them, hanged their
99FP.Slf,
/n behalf of the Kansas Brigade, he stated that
they were men of principle—godly men. Sturgis,
after having been with the brigade a short time,
called it a d—d (he didn't know as he ought to say
that word) fanatictili 0111PcrittiCe Sat I hare ben
w ith the brigade three months, stated Lane, and
never saw a man intoxicated. At Osceola, they.
knocked the heads out of 700 barrels of liquor, and
never touched a drop.
The fiat order belied to that brigade made it as
offence, punishable with death, for any soldier t•
enter a private house without permission of a supe
rior officer. If we dojayhawking, we do it foryou
through the Government. That brigade has ta ken
thousands of gecko 91 eelt from the etore , houles of
Masseur:l, and distributed it among the loyal mend
the State. When he saw that Thomas had written
to Gen. Fremont—(three cheers were here gives
for Fremont)—that Lane's Brigade was committing
depredations in Missouri, he immediately pepped •
tater `pronouncing the charge false and scanda
lous. In regard to the statement that the brigade
appropriated women and children's clothes, he ob
served that a number of slave women and children
took it into their heads, in a certain instance, to be
free. and that' m iss
of
p 9 ya
of the clothing of their former owners, All the
Kansas troops did was to see that the whites did not
deprive the blacks of all the clothing which had thus
come into their possession.
The rpeaber concluded by remarking that the
war could only be made a short contest by striking
at slavery. Meet the issue tendered by the South
fairly. Place the words , g Freedom to all" on your
kaP,D9rf, nod the spirit of the old crusaders will
animate your armies, firmness and steadiness will
be imparted to the troops, and victory gained, and
a permanent peace scoured.
Six rousing cheers were given for Lane as he sat
down, three for the Frlft§ Sri bde, and three for
Vreworit. The meeting was highly enthusiastic
throughout.
