THE WAR..
The battle at Corinth, a: brief account of which
was published in our columns yesterday, was in
deed a brilliant victory for our troops. The eta
Diet despatehei from Gen. Grant, i,ublished this
morning, fully confirm the previously received ac
counts, and show that our success has been more
decided than we at first thought it was. The bat
tie was fought on the famous field of Corinth, but
with far different results. The rebels, in the first
Wattle, were the attacking party, and although
they did not, as they confidently expected to do,
annihilate' our forces, yet they inflicted such :a'
severe blow as to completely check, for weeks, the
onward march of our army. The attaok on Satur
day last was made under similar circumstances, yet
the rebels nude a more decided failure than they
did at the first battle. Again they were the at
tacking party, but they met with such a heroic re
sistance that they were forced to each safety in
flight, and, at last accounts, our enthuslastio and
victorious column were 'in close pursuit. Among
thmie who are mentioned as having taken a pro
minent part in the action is Major General
Ord, a native of PennsylVania, whose vic
tory at Draneiville, Virginia, is still fresh in
the minds of our readers. This victory is the
West's noble answer to Antietam, and side by aide .
with McClellan, Sumner, Hooker, and Burnside,
let us place the names of such a noble band of
heroes as. Grant, ItOseerans, and Ord. We know
that our cause in those quarters is sate in such
hands, and that whatever is done by the brave sol
diers in the East will meet a hearty response by
their brothers in the West.
THE NEWS
ON OUR FIRST neon will be found an interesting
account of affairs in General Grant's department
previous to the late battle at Corinth. The rebel
generals, acting in contort, made such movements
that would necessitate the withdrawal of a large
portion of General Grant's force for the purpose of
strengthening Buell's column. This they accom
plhhed, and a large force were about moving on
Corinth in different directions at the time thee hat
-lAritirr t triteriris — tiirih — ra the attack was made,
and with what result is already familiar to our
readers. Sketches cf the prominent Union'otEcers
engaged in this battle will also be read with in-
OuR regular Washington correspondent sends us
an interesting letter, in ivhich will be found a de
scription of a scene in the Secretary of War's
office in that city.
By a statement elsewhere published, the ninth
army corps, formerly under command of the la
reenttd General Reno, lest in officers and men,
during .the late battles of South Mountain and
Antietam, 578 killed, 2,428 wounded. land 148
missing. General MoOlellan's former order against
straggling and pillaging by his Fotdierd having been
disregarded, he has pramulg,ated another one,
again calling attention to the one he had issued
previously, and threatening severe punishment if
it is in the future disregarded.
Lavvzas from Illinois predict that the Union
Republican party will elect its State ticket, nine
out of fourteen members of Congress, and the Legis
'satire, which is to choose a Senator in place of
Senator Browning.
Tan rebel force in Kentucky under command of
Bragg and Kirby Smith, if we may believe all the
reports, is rather irOa precarious condition. Al
reedy have they scattered in every direction in
order that each regiment or company may if possi
ble look to its own safety. The escape of the en
tire forms by the way of Eastern Virginia and dowp
the Kabowba *alley is simply au impossibility,
while to the South their only hope is in opening the
CuMberland Gap and through it making good their
esthspn ; and this, with proper management on the
part of our commanding generals, seems also out of
their power, as, should those who are able from
their present position to reach that point, under
take' to do so, they can easily be held until a part
or the whole of Buell's army shall have been thrown
upon their rear.
REAR ADNltten PORTER, Who was lately ap-
pointed to command our Mississippi fleet, is still in

Guar. BuELL's army is again in motion, having
marched fromlnuisville on the lot instant, and the
latest accounts wehave from it it waa on theßards

closing upon the enemy. Generals Crittenden,
Wood, and Smith command the centre; Generals
Sotteepf and Thomas the right, and McCook and.
Beaman the left.
Tux rebel force in Missouri is estimated to be
22,000 strong, but their corps are lo widely sepa
rated, and they are in such a miserable condition,
that, save by a few guerilla raids they will not be
able to inflict any serious damage to the Union
cause or its defendera in that State.

Victory!
The West answers to the East, and under
the name of Antietam we write that of Co
rinth. General GRA.NT'S army, has won a great
victory, and virtually broken the power of the
rebellion in the Mississippi Valley. The army
of VAN Dons was evidently determined to
crush the Union army in Tennessee, unite
with Kranz SMITH' and BRAGG, and assist in
the conquest of Kentucky. There is an end
of that, however. GRANr is victorious, his
army is in pursuit, and the< remnant of. VAN
BORN'S force is demoralized and inefficient.
It is impossible to enter into an elaborate
discussion of all the candidates on the re
spective tickets in the city of -Philadelphia.
Loyal men should Ire content with the fact'
that the National Union candidates stand
square by the Government, against the rebel
lion, and in favorpf a vigorous prosepution of
the war; that they make to conditions, and re
pose hearty confidence' in their military and
civil agents, holding both responsible for a
faithful performance of their duties. But we
cannot avoid calling attention to the three
gentlemen who are naraedlor the three leading
city offices: Aizacannan -HENRY, for Mayor ;
UARROLL BREWSTER, for City Solicitor, and
WM. B. MANN, for District Attorner, In Ur.
HENRY we have a Christian gentleman, a de
viated patriot, and an incorruptible Magistrate.
The city, since. Mr. HENRY has been Mayor,
has been more orderly and quiet than during
any former period of years; Nand when the
turbulent elements in our midst, and the num
ber of sympathizers with treason ready for
violence are considered, the record of his
administration consti totes the highest tribute to
his courage and his patriotism. His gentle and
dignified deportment haae attached to his per 7
son and his character hosts of citizens who
shrink from a mere partisan and denaagogical
chief magistrate of our great city. His earnest
and vigilant. devotion to his country has made
him the favorite of all the ultra loyal men, and
his police department is so wall conducted, and
the men engaged upon it so dceorous and
well behaved, as to have made.it An example
that may be fittingly contrasted;with the pass,
and profitably imitated in the future. His
competitor, Mr. Fox, if elected, wilt be an in
strument in the hands of the men who are now
anxious to arouse and organize the disloyal
and discontented forces in our midst—, He
could no more resat them than JAmEs Buena,
seat resisted them; for the traitors that - con
trolled and ruined. BUCHANAN arelooking far
ward to a period when, inethe event of`the
defeat of Mayor HENRY 0.17 may erect in, our
midst a local impernsm tmpttio, which, while
pretending to support the General Govern
ment in its war against Seceision, will yield to
the sinister counsels of FRANCIS W. HUGHES
and Wm. B. REED, both of whom believe that
ennsylvania should join herself to, the South,
and both of whom would rejoice if they could
use the great city of Philtdelphia to proinote
this their darling design. We can imagine
what our situation svou'd have been if, after
the fall of Sumpter, instead of ALEXAN,DER
BEERY for Mayor, we had hada Bree,kin
.
ridge sympathizer in that high Position. We
are happy in the belief; therefore, that our sub
stantial men of property, and that our loyal
citizens, will give Mr. HENRY their ardent sap
fort, and earnestly oppose Mr. Fox. We
bust that no man calling himself a Republi
can, or a true friend of the Government and
the war, will be found doubtful or hostile 4n
regaid to Mayor HENRY.
Of Mr. Bitawsasit, the Union candidate for
City Solicitor, we have already spoken. He
did not seek the office; he is not a partisan
politician ; he has devoted himself earnestly
and conscientiously to his profession, having,
by assiduous industry and integrity, risen from
the ranks to a high 'position at the bar. Had
DANIEL DOUGHERTY, Etq., accepted the nomi
nation as a Douglas Democrat; Mr. BREWSTER
would have ardently supported him; but when
that patriotic citizen declined the offer of the
Union City Convention, Mr. BREWSTER was
placed in nomination. From the first he has
teen a thorough-9.nd straight-out supporter of
the present Administration, and a determined
enemy of the rebellion and those who sympa
thize with it. He would make an honest So-
Felton Above all, he would never consent to
occupy the anomalous, and contradictory, and
sinister attitude of his competitor, Mr. Mawr,
who, after having associated himself—to use
the language of the Narth simerzcan—c( with
a great baud of - conspirators who are endea
voring to strip the city of its, interest in the
Girard estate in order to share it among pri
vate plunderers," * * *-cc finds himself now
obliged, by the necessities of his position, to
state that he has resigned his connection as
counsel in this case."
Of Mr. MANN, the candidate for District At
torney, little need be said. He is among the
boldest and ablest practitioners at the bar, as
be is among the boldest and ablest defenders
of the cause of his country. Generous to a
fault, positire and unchanging in_ his loyalty,
the friend of the poor atd the needy, the fear-,
less enemy of the guilty and the corrupt, he
is entitled to the votes of every loyal man, of
whatever party-name, in our'great city. We
do not desire to run a comparison between
Mr. Kann and Mr. CASSIDY ; but , if the fine
speeches of the latter.
:-....—..,-mocratitc — orgautz a agO bl at—i , could be made
to-day as they were made a little more than a
Sear ago, in the county of Bucks, and if he
could see his duty and his interest in a frank
and fearless denunciation of the most'scandal
ens of all these traitors, Mr. FRANCIS W.
rincriEs, in the face of his recent disclosure,
such a comparison, so far as real loyalty is
concerned, would place him ox a footing of
equality with Mr. MANN.
Will France Interfere"!
'There are strong indications that NAPOLEON
is much inclined to meddle in American affairs.
The man's character is sufficient to justify dis
trust in any public appearance of his continued
neutrality. Re is nobody, if not prominent, and
the two great events of his reign,—his dragging
England, as an - a ll 9 of France, into the war
with Russia, and his getting up the Italian
campaign of IS 59,=---were bat the consequences
of his wishing to appear before the world as
master of the situation. He would rejoice at
all civilized States being at loggerheads, be
cause he would then have the opportunity of
interfering. It is his misfortune to be almost
as dangerous as a friend as he is as an enemy.
Nobody knows when to count upon him.
Coveting military reputation, he took advantage
of a false step of the Czar's to assume a pro
tectorate over and championship of Turkey,
cc the sick man," and adroitly coaxed. England
into assisting him. When he had completely
r-roVed to Russia that he was a Power to be
dreaded, he gave the young Czar each favor
able terms of peace as made him a fast friend,
and left Turkey pretty much as she was before.
Be played the same game in Italy, professing
to have , the warmest 'regard for Italian nation
! Edify, but when be had shown Austria how
powerful France was, he made terms with her
which preserved to her one.half of her Italian
territory, and has since lett VIOTOB. EMMANUEL
to shift for himself, taking care that he shall
not make Rome the capital of Italy, which
would show the solidity of die new nationality.

hers cannot think, as citizens, NAPOLEON
lately undertook the invasion of Mexico. The
ostensible purpose of this interference was to
collect the debts due by Mexico to England,
Spain, and France—these being in the proper
. tion of twelve parts due to England, two to
Spain, and one to France. He adroitly con
trived to seduce England and Spain into
co-operation with him in this, but 'was soon
found out, lost his allies, and got beaten by the
despised Mexicans. France can submit to any
thing except the insult of defeat, and, there
fore, has not forgotten or forgiven Waterloo.
Defeat in Mexico, where it was hoped to early
things with a high hand, was intolerable and
large naval and military reinforcements have
just been sent by NAPOLEON to Vera Cruz,
from Toulon and Brest. NAPOLEON may have
had the ultimate purpose, as has been re
ported, of taking possession of the rich pro
vince of Sonora, as an equivalent for the cost
of the descent upon Mexico, though it is pro
bable, under the circumstances, that he
will.postpone carrying out this ambitious in
tention, which would give France one of the
wealthiest of American territories in addition
to that miserable convict settlement of Cay
enne—a penal Botany Bay, without the
luxurious soil and fine climate of the Adttra
lian locality. But it is statetrthat the Mexican
Government will, at once submit to the great
force which NAPOLEON has sent over, and thus
end the campaign, without =farther blood
shed.

The military force which France proposes
to • have in Mexico, within the. next ten days,
is estimated at 60,000 men, with a naval arma
ment in proportien. This would be a great
force_ if added to the support of any bellige
rent. We • may not expect that NAPOLEON
will proffer its co-operation to us, but it is
expected, by the bouth, that it may probably
be placed at the disposal of the rebels, or, at
least, made use of, by NAPOLEON, in "-the end
of his demanding--in the gentle manner of a
suggestion—that the Union Government shalt

These are terms which our Government

has a penchant for fishing in' troubled . waters,
and, besides, might be glad of the opportunity
of covering his failure in Mexico' by playing
the grand role of imperial Pacificator in the
Ihited States. It would not be very difficult,
with the large navy which France now has
at Vera Cruz, to transport the large French
army frcut Mexico, up the Gulf, into one
of the Southern States now in rebellion. The
States, belonging to ouriUnion, washed by the
Gulf of Mexico, are Texas, Louisiana, Missis
sippi, Alabama, and Florida. Into the, first
named of these, which has an extensive sea
board, the Freneh expedition might poisibly be
sent, by hugging the Mexican coast, so as to
avoid collision with our ships-of-war, which,
indeed: cannot cruise about much, being em
ployed in the blockade.
A short time will show what NAPOLEON means
to do with the army and ; navy constituting the
French Expedition to. Mexico. Will he send
them home, without anything to show fir the
great expense he has incurred, or will he, as
leading French journals hint, employ them to
enlorce any offer which he may make of acting
as Mediator in our Civil War? His poliey is
so tortuous that, in general, it can only, be
guessed at. PALMERSTON may or may not act
with NAPOLEON against the United States, and
though Erzland has no troops to spare, she
can have mercenaries supplied for money, as
she did with the Hessians in our war for Inde
pendence, in the Irish rebellion of 1798, and
in the campaigns against the first NAPOIkON,
from 1803 to 1815. To be frank with our read
ers, we confess that we place no reliance upon
the honor of either PALMERSTON or NAPOLEON.
They arethe most astute politicians in Europe,
and the least reliable. We should always be
on our guard against their tricks.
Ganbaldi's Advent
GARIBALDI is so heartily abused, by. the ve
nal.piess of England, on the report that he was
coming to this country, that it may be taken
for granted that he will visit us, ere long. He
has to get cured of his wounds, and to be libe
rated from prison before he can once more
tread the sacred soil of free America. It is
scarcely too much to say, (eABAYETTE'S grand
ovation, in 1824, overriding everything) that
more than any eminent European will GARI
i3ALna be received here. KOSSUTH was accepted,
as the nation's guest, and treated with the re
spent due to his.talents, his sufferings, and the
sacred cause to which he had devoted himself.
We were electrified, also, by his eloquence,—
for c , thougbts that breathe, and words that
burn" were uttered by him in a language not
his own,—a language which he acquired in
prison, with no other instruction than what he
found in the Bible, Sbakspeare, and an English
Dictionary. It was wonderful, it was inspirit
ing, to hear this foreigner speaking as a fluent
orator in atongue quite unknown to him a short
time before. Herein lies the difference be
tween the Hungarian and the Italian. We may
distinguish KOSSUTH as a 'man. of thought and
speeel, while GARIBALDI is a man of energy
and action. It will be remembered, too, how,"
some ten or twelve years ago, banished hither
by misfortune, GARIBALD/ found an asylem
here ; bow he earned his living by laborious in
dustry ; and hOw, as he proudly boasts, he be
came a citizen of the United States. Since
he left us, his services in the Italian cause
greatly helped to drive the hated Austrians
out of Lombardy, while, in the following year,
he placed Naples'and, Sieily under the sceptre
or VICTOR, E3IIIANUEL. He has failed, far the
present, in his attempt to restore Rome to her
former " pride of pLice" as metropolis of Italy,
but we shall see his purpose fulfilled, ere long;
far earlier, it may be, than anyone now
dreams of. Should GARIBALDI draw his sword
for the Union, it wil be in the sane cause of
Freedom for which he has riskedlis life during
numerous campaigns.

THE EARNEST PATRIOT, WhO is desirous
of maintaining and of preserving the Go-
Government of the United States, and who
longs to see our forces in the battle-field tri
umph ,over the rebel foe, frequently asks him
self of what possible advantage the success
of tho Breckinfidge candidates at the coming
election would be to the cause of the Repub
lic. There are a number of these candidates
running for national or State offices who are
directly or indirectly in sympathy with the
common enemy. They may and they do
deny it in public, but they do not deny it in
private life or to themselves. They have been
so schooled to disaffection, so closely identi
fied with the men now in arms against the
flag, that they do not feel as the unconditional
Union men feel, and cannot rejoice as they
rejoice when our armies or our navies win a
great victory. Let ns bear in mind that these
men propose no remedy for the national trou
bles, that in all;their arguments in favor of the
Constitution they insensibly weaken it by em
harassing the Administration, sworn to main
tain it, and that even while protesting their loy-
alty they do not hesitate to denounce, in bitter
terms, every law, whether it be that of, confis

overthrow of the rebellion, and every statute,
whether it, be that ot draft er tax, that looks

Aliens anti. the Draft.
The Draft Commissioners have decided that
when an exempted citizen, who has procured,
exemption by reason of foreign birth and the
failure to became naturalized, subsequently
takes out naturalization papers, he will be im
mediately placed on the roll as liable for mili
tary duty, and take his chances for the draft.
The Commissioners are taking steps to ascer
tain the names of those who become citizens,
as numbers are, coming forward to avail them
selves of the inestimable privilege of citi
zenkhip, and are placing watchers at the polls
and examining the records at the various Pro
thonotary's offices. This provision is obviously
just, and our new-made fellow-citizens will no
doubt be among the first to rejeice at the op.
portunity thus offered of bearing arms for
their adopted country in this time of extreme
peril. The true Americanoiaturalized oina
tive, is as anxious to do his own fighting as his
own voting, and will be rejoiced to find that the
two, privileges go together. •
An Excellent Suggestion.
Governor CURTIN, with eieellent good
sense, makes a proposition to the War De
partment which we hope:will be adopted. It
is that the different Pennsylvania regiments
be permitted to return to the State, ten at a
time, for the purpose of recruiting and re
organizing. We think that a compliance with
the Governor's request would have ay. ery ex
cellent effect. The regiments have been re
duced by incessant warfare; camp life has
engendered many painful diseases; they have
endured hardships and suffering. Their friends'
would welcome them home even for a few
dgys, and their comrades would speedfli swell
their ranks to their original standard. We
trust that Secretary &WPM( will give the
matter earnest consideration, and grant a fa
yorable decision.

,
The sympathizers with the enemy in th e .
free States are greatly alarmed . at the/*a
nions doctrines set' forth in the speech of • ti
ratio Seymour, of New York, in which ban
ticipates and hails a system of repudiation as
a consequence of the policy of the Govern
ment against the traitors—a aysteurthat Nast
lead to the destruction of individual, St4te,
and national credit and securities ; and they
are no lees disturbed and disheartened,at . l ,the
fratleinimisition by Mr. Hughes, tbe;,chitit*U
of the Brearinriiige State Central Commit
tee of . Pennsylvania, of his„purpose, in Feb
ruary, 186 i, to drag Pennsyliaiiia out' of the
Union.. Both these leaders sliew their since
rity by' iterating those ,dangerous dogmas in
the present hour. -Their followers, however,
are more chary or more patriotie, and are dis
posed to throw off the responsibility•of bsiog
controlled by such chunsellors. Mr. Seymour
in New York, and Mr. Hughes in Pennsylva
nia, will attempt to influence the public mind

,Finding that I was to be detained, and that this, gars
was the headquarters of the Military Dietriot of Berth

the commander of the district, which was readily tie

face, but withal a trace of humor in hie eye, malt
younger than I had expected from hie grade—seiVed
among a lot of 'clerks and staff officers, up to his ear in

occasionally given to some officer, evidently capable

pace the floor with a quick military Mop, buret
fog out into such a torrrent of scathing rebuke
them for . their treachery as showed he could talk when
be wished. He was talking to some old Seceshers who
bad been accused of persuading the younger men into
their course, I was particularly struck with the pointed;
and rather brusque manner in which he laid bare to them
a view of their gaping sores of treason and then pro
ceeded to apply the cautery without any stint. They
appeared to be some of the older heads, wto have done
nothing except by the influence of their lies and venom
ous talk to drive the younger men to arms in unlawful
guerilla warfare. They seemed intelligent men, and

This was the first intimation I had htd of an extinction,
and upon inquiry I' found that ten nen who had been
once captured in arms and taken ati oath not again to
tat e up arms, bad been captured art aidin arms and found
guilty of violation of parole, and sere to be publicly
executed that morning.
I confess that I bad enough of tint morbid curiosity

7 fell into conversation with the general, and from him
learned, with some eurprise, that be rot a Pennsylvanian,
and, on expressing my surprise, be remarked, 6,1 There is
nothing strange in that; my regimeit was raised in the
West exclusively, and yet nearly onithird of its officers,
and many of the men, are Penneylv fans. And of this I
knew nothing until discovered aoollentally some months
after ft was organized. The Westle full of men of our
State, and for the credit of the Stele, I can say that I
have y et to see the first one who was not fighting with um
in some way."
I found the General a worthy sot of the old Keystone
—a Quiet, affable gentleman in lib social bearing; and
yet I noticed that, when be gave an order or epoko on
matters of duty, there Wall a sternness about his voice
and mauler that tuft no room (to cavil at the order.
Having that , manner, I was sorueThat surprised to notice
the great affection evinced for bimby lids staff and by the
men of his regiment whom I saw!
Said I to one of his men, " Itinot the General a very
bard, severe man 7" ,4 Re u Hitt to a man that enn't

just mounting to go to the exeoetlon ground. Presently
came the solemn roll of•the muffled drum, and then an
peered the bead of a column of!eoldlers moving over the

clad In homespun, that, but for their arms, I should have
supv sad were Beteeh nrisonere, but found' they were mi
litia of Idleaourl called out by their Governor to pat
down guerillas.
The execution ground was about half a mile from
the .town, and when I reached there I found the troops
drawn up on three sides of a square, while the fourth
was 'ocsnyted by the condemned and the tiring parties.
A long line of mounted sentinels kept beak the too
cnrione crowd, but a word from a polite little major, who
had previously seen me at the headquarters, admitted
me, and I took D 27 place near the General and hie gad;
in one corner of the square. After some time occupied
in the preliminary preparations, each prisoner wee,
blindfolded and knilt in front of his own execution
party. A venerable. locking, gray-beaded chaplain now
stepped out from among the staff, and in a short, fervent
prayer commended - the souls of these poor wretches to
the mercy of the God before whom they wOnid ehortly
appear. I..verythirg was still as death. The perfect
hush, if I may say so, was painfully disrinot, and I could
ace, even under the grave, item face of the General, a
softening look, as if he was all struggling between duty
and mercy...
For a moment the slime was awful ; then came the
c'eir tone of command of the officer .of the day :
• Beady,” "aim," a fire;" a rattling Mecham ; a puff
of smoke; a groan; and all was over. The ten had paid
tbePenalty of their broken oaths. For a moment all was
hushed, as before, end then you could almost hear the
lour drawn breath of relief. The bright sun shown as
poi n huly and clearly as before,lbut shone on ten corses
stiff and stark, where a moment before were ten men in
. 41e full flush of physical health.
...JA surgecn btepied from the lines and walked along
Tamil:hog each bony as he pateed, then stepped up to
p General with a stiff military salute, ...May are all
,
,geld, sir." t• Very well, air." Not the change of a
insole, not the slightest relaxing of that outward stern.
+es, the same grim face, and yet, I thought, a moment
ego, yen might have caved their lives. Truly, hero is - a
Min whose sense of duty would carry him through any
tiling, and felt disappointed that he exhibited no more
fleling. But a moment after, as he turned to mount hie
bored, I heard him thy to one of his staff, "Gad in
mercy spare me such a duly as that again, and yet
Mercy to those men le the harshest cruelty to the whole
people of this State."
I 01 oto thing I feel well assured, that a few enoh ex
amples of prompt and decided punishment of evil doers
will have a meet esintary effort upon the tendencies of
i these men, and if principle and common honesty will not
'keep them quiet, fear will. All praise to the man who
bee bad the uervo to do his full duty, and toe good sense
to tee that leniency to these men was mistaken mercy.
Truly the eons of the Old Keystone, who have boon wan
dering in the far Weld, do her no discredit.
!I his is one of the loveliest countries that ever the sun
shone upon, and but for the curse of the institution and
the blasting, &prayed ignorance of its people, would in
.few years have stood far ahead of all the States.
Scarcely any part of the State has anffere:' so mach
tram the effects of the war as this, and after having ones
witeted down, le now again bacon a the scene of bloody
war, atd that of that remorseless kind waged by and
against guerilla banditti. However, within the last
month, the vigorous military policy which has been pur
sued hero, and the wise administration of its affairs, b tve
broken and scattered the bands, leaving ttem frightened
fugitives, fit fug from every shadaw, avd have given re
newed hope to the almost detpairing loyalists of this
section. With a few more weeks of such energetic ad.
ministration as has marked his previous course, General
Merrill may bops to restore peace and prosperity to the
whole of.hlo district.
I was amazed to soe the almost apathetic indifference
with which the Proolemation was received. In conver
sation with a Missourian of some considerable informa
tion, upon the subject, he remarked that great indiffer
ence was felt in regard to the whole subject. While many
of the loyal men even denounced the proclamation as
untimely and wrong, yet Secessionists and all agreed
filet slavery waidead in Missouri, and that the Conven
tion were fools in not toting the President at his offer of
compensated emancipation. Practically, Missouri is no
longer a slave S'ate, and I, for one, said he, am not
sorry; it has made fools of us all. This gentleman, I
afterwards knew, had been a leadlog Secessionist, but,
as ho expressed it, had been ' e übjnoted.',

adjeur nseent, coincident with a feeling of depression and
apprehension in the public mind. The general amities

control of the army."

the appointment of a committee of thirteen to take testi
mony relative to Yankee outrages, the evidence to be

States, the offender shall be deemed guilty of felony, and
suffer death, on conviction in any military court.
An act has been pasted encouraging tbo manufacture
of shoes and clothing for the army of the Oonfederacy.
It provides for bringing into the country, duty free, of
cards, card. cloth, machinery, and other artiolee neces
sary for the purpose. •

Adams. Romeo, and it is no exaggeration to Of th'''
would be almost impossible to excel them in tSFtw

the ccmmencement of a short Leeson of twelve ul.l ,
by the famous Ravel troupe, under the m anageme 2 t
Mr. Wheatley, formerly lessee of the Arch-street
tre. It is almost unnecessary for us to ely amthig
commendation of the performance last evening, for
eU
ono who has seen this celebrated troupe on the

remar)<ing that never, to our recollection, have We tnA l
displayed their agility and the wonderfni pool 0
posses... to batter advantage than during the last 04.

would be invidious, yet the wouder'al performer' d
young America on the trapeze was the theme of gill
ties, and won for the young performer the Obludi t '% l
present. The troupe will perform eleven
when they will return to Europe to Mild errgegnO"
