IT ■& v '• FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7,1862. A Renewed Nuisance Horace Walpole, writing from London to Ms friend Mr. Horace Mann,’ sarcastically said : « Our English summer has set in, with its usual severity.” - We may use the same words, as regards the nuisance of pivement washing and window-washing, a nuisance which, thoroughly abated for a time, by the operation of tho Mayor’s ordinance, limiting the practice to particular hours, early in the morning and late in the evening, has just been recommenced/' with its usual severity.” We fondly, but vainly hoped that the practice had been permanently limited to hours which would .not annoy the,public.; Go where you .may, now, from ten to one o’clock in the day, and the pavement is so flooded with streams of water that you either are engulphed in the Charybdis of a pavement so. wet that a boot .or shoe gets immediately soaked through, or get wrecked upon the Scylla of being com pelled to step into the street, whether dusty or muddy, to avoid tho wet. To the fair sox, with their predilection for thin-soled gaiter boots, either must be a great'evil. There is a third, just as bad, which operates upon their head-covering. We allude to the habit, be gotten by lasiness out of mischief, of dashing water again st'the windbws, which fluid failing down sharply on the passengers, gives them the unexpected and undesirod surprise of a novel sort of shower-bath. The attention of the Mayor is respectfully, hut'"earnestly, requested to the compound nuisance of which-we complain, in compliance with serious complaints addressed to ns'by many of,our fellow-citizens. We need not remark upon the waste of water which-neces sarily is incurred—although, at times, that may be a consideration—but we ask, in a tone of protest, whether there really is any neces sity for. this continual pavement washing ? In nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand it would be sufficient to have this operation performed only once a month, and then, as before, at horns when the peripatetic public .would be the least inconvenienced. We.earnestly request the Mayor to renew his ordinance, if it has been repealed or allowed to e-spire, and protect his fellow-citizens from ..the dirty cleanliness of perpetual pavement and -window-washing in the day-time. As a gallant gentleman, he will recollect, of course, that in doing so he is particularly attending to '.the comfort of the fair sex. The-evil ope rates unpleasantly enough for men, but is ter , 'rible for women. ■ When first we saw to what extent tho prac- tiee was carried on here, w.e were reminded of the manner in which cleanliness is carried to excess in most of the towns in the Nether- lands. We remember, more particularly, tile •flourishing and canal infested town of Dort, in South. Holland. Every day, and almost in every hour of every day, during a mortal;, -week which it was our misfortune to pass in Dort, there iwas an unremitting cleansing, by water and scrubbing brush, of the pavements, windows, and " doors. All the time, the un fortunate pedestrian had to turn out into the street, and-keep to «the crown of the cause-, way,” if he desired to escape being inun dated. The streets looked, in their damp ijeatness, as clean as a new pin; but throo fourths of the miserable inhabitants werejthe victims of rheumatism. Tho door-f&gg lite rally 5? ore made as white as snow, by con stant rubbing; but,_according to the curious. -wur't7r3njr" house; was never opened, except, on the occasion ;pf a wedding or a funeral. We candidly admit that" Dort, with its excess of; pavement washing, was worse than our city, hut there is not so very much difference after all. We renew our request, and the request of very many others, to the Mayor, that he will again take this matter in hand, and abate the nuisance.. If continued in the winter, when frost makes even slightly-damp pavements dangerously slippery, numerous accidents may be looked for. But we need not go farther into the subject, which the Mayor understands more thoroughly than we do. t 1 .Rectifying the Boundary. Austria, Russia, and Prussia commenced the dismemberment of Poland upon the plea that tley needed the territory of that coun'ry “to rpud off their boundaries/’ A similar spirit las seized a writer in England, who, in a recent number of the New Monthly Maga zine, discusses what he calls “ the rectifi cation «f the boundary of British America.” This (writer anticipates a, speedy war be tween (jreat Britain and the United States, in which, is a matter of course, the. former will be victorious. He then sets forth the torms as to bopdary between the United States and 1 British |&.merica upon which Great should insist in the new treaty of peace. The Coiumbk river should form the southern boundary of the British possessions oh the Pacific. Canada requires an open seaport for use inwhter; therefore, the whole State of Maine is jo be relinquished to England; that they may lave Portland.' Lake' Champlain— we wondertbat an English writer would mention that lake—jempties into the Saint Lawrence; therefore, he northern portions of Vermont and New \ ork are to be annexed to Canada. And thus ke writer runs on through a long essay, in ; tich ho seems to labor under the idea that fee people of the United States are a kind-of Jestern Hindoos, whose territory is to be takei from them with as much ease as if it lay in or Burmah. ; Such spkjulations are very ridiculeus, but they serve is straws to show whioh way the 1 wind blows They, would not be admitted into such aperiodical -as the Nm Monthly Magazine iflit were not known that they 1 would be acciptable to its readers.' t aanfcgton.

Peoria, Illinois, Not. 3,1862. To the Editor of The Press: > Since writing you from Mattoon, in Coles county, on Monday, I have spoken at CentraHa, in Marion county ; at Decatur, in Macon county; at Spring field, in Sangamon county; at Bloomington, in Mo- Lean county; at Peoria, in the county of the same name; and.atPekin, in Tazwell county. To day I speak at Monmouth, in warren county, and to-mor row at Galesburg, the day of the election. At most of those points there were mass meet ings, or monster gatherings, which, the citizens told me, were equal to the largo gatherings of the ' last campaign, or those convened by Douglas and Lincoln. In the day time I was often forced to , speak to thousands in the open air, and at night to crowded halls or churches. I have spoken twice each day ever since I ; left: Chicago—usually two hours in the day and one at night. Mr. Dross, of the Chicago Tri6uiic, spoke with me each night, and occupied an hour. Ho is a clear, forcible, and effeetiye'public speaker. ■At the mass tneetingxin Springfield, ox-Govcrnor Wright, of-Indiana, 'spoke 'with' us; and made a : powerful- and argumentative speech, which had a powerful; effect upon the 'audience, and .will tell upon the election there to morrow. ' There is a perfect storm raging at all points in this State, and both parties havo scores of their best speakers in the field, and they are contesting every inch of-ground in every county. I have never labored harder, travelling every night from •fifty to one hundred milee, and sleeping but little. Whilst I have never been more enthusiastically re ceived, or kindly treated, by Unionists, I have never been more bitterly assailed or unsparingly dcEcutced by Secessionists and Tories than I have since I spoke in Chicago, Saturday .was a week' ago. JOvcry conceivable plan has been adopted to keep the people from turning out. Opposition meetings have been held, and publications made to; the effect that my language is so vulgar that no lady could be present without being insulted and made to blush 1 ■ ; In this city on Saturday, before "an audience of thousands, nearly half of whom were ladies, one of their drunken hirelings got in front of the stand, gave me the lie while speaking, screamed out at the top of bis voice, and sought by yelling and crowing, to break up the meeting, but a lot of Federal soldiers present seized upon him, choked him down, and double-quicked him out of the crowd! At Decatur, I was followed by the gallant Col. Tupper, who is just ready tomareh a new and noble regiment into the field; He stated in his speech that Secession citizens of tho town had just told him that I ought to be egged out of the country, and bis soldiers in the audience demanded their names, i and swore they would ride Deem out of the town V p,m a mil. They were saved from violence by I tho Colonel withholding their names, though ho him self denounced them in appropriate terms. A' Pekin, a town of 5,00!) inhabitants, on the bank of tho Illinois river, am opposition meeting was got up, the court bouse secured, and tho only hall in the town rented, to prevent my speaking on Saturday night. Publication was made that one Henry Gro ver, an open-mouthed Secessionist, would speak at the court house,' He ; had formerly been an Aboli tionist," but went over to the Secession party, because the Republicans refused to nominate him for Con gress. But they made an unsuccessful run against ’ me. I was invited into the Baptist ehurqh, the largest house in the town. It was filled to overflow ing, and the windows and doors were crowded. The secessionists resorted to the court house, and there commenced speaking, and failing to carry off tho crowdohey brought out a cannon and fired severa ,'ronndsjbut that was no go, I hold the crowd whilst ' l spoke more than two hours. This toxy party here are more bold than they are in Pennsylvania, or even in Ohio.

Their papers" all over the State are hold, fierce and daring, in their war upon the Government of the United States. They make good what the Chicago Times uttered in the following editorial notice, just at the time the rebellion broke out • “A Fire in the. Rear.— We can tell the Repub lican" Legislature and the Republican administration of Michigan, and the Republican party every where, one thing": if troops shall Be raised in the north to march against the people of the South, A Flap. "IN THE BEAR WILL BE OPENED UPON SUCH TROOPS, .WHICH WILL EITHER ATOP THEIR MARCH ALTO-, GBTHEB, OR WONDERFULLY ACCELERATE IT. J ’ j . The course these tones are pursuing in Illinois | explains the wherefore of the publication of a long editorial in tho Augusta (Qs. ) Constitutionalist, ' headed “The Great West,” part of which is in these words. ~ , “There is, however, ©videntljffin the West, and particularly in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, a strong opposition to tho present war upon the South. The tone of the press in those States, the public moot ings, and the Democratic Conventions , all prove this conclusively. This feeling does not display it self as boldly opposed to the nor per sc, but assumes, the form of opposition to Abolitionism', coercion, and subjugation. It would not be safe to exhibit it otherwise, for in that event the individuals giving expression to it would soon find themselves incarce rated within the walls of some Yankee Bastiie, and their opposition thus, speedily and. effectually crushed out. But by professing devotion to the Union, the Constitution,"and the Administration: of Abraham' Lincoln, they can organize thoroughly-, for work, and thus secure a way to triumph in the approaching fall elections.” The gamo of these bogus Democrats is to act upon tho advice of Beauregard to Bragg, and call every man an “Abolitionist’’ who favors the put ting down of this infernal rebellion.: One clause in that letter to Bragg is in these precise words: •“ By; the way, I think that in all our despatches we should call our enemies Abolitionists, instead'of I’ederals, as it would help our cause much in the North western States.” , Thus, Mr. Editor, it may bo seen why it is that rebel sympathizers at the North persist in calling the supporters of the ; United States Government “Abolitionists.” Tho rebel generals, and their villainous Northern allies, understand each other perfectly. But it won’t all do, for the Union and War party will carry.lllinois on to-morrow, although three to . one of th e ; thousands of voters -absent in the army would vote the Union and War ticket if here.

" I should say not, from what I have seen and learned by coming in contact •with large bodies of the citizens". Illinois is an empire of herself, with an extent of territory; a fertility of soil, a salubrity of climate, and facilities for trade and travel, that, no man would dream, of, without passing, through the State.

The rebels, as I had antici pated, attempied a flank-movement oh onr left, but tor some reason abandoned it. The ammunition of the ar tillery here entirely failed, owing to the cals ons not hav ing been brought on; for wantf of transportation from Port Koyel, and pieces had to be sent back ,to renew it.

[Applause ] I can say to you with pleasure, from my own observation, that no men who have taken the field have been more true to their duty than tha teldiera who have gone forth from Massachusetts. [Lend cheers and cries of “ Good.”] I trust that when victory shall be won, as I feel assured it wifi ba at no dis tant day, we may have at least the satisfaction, of know ing that not only bave'our forces contributed to the good result, but alto that no word was spokes, no act was per formed by tbe people of Massachusetts that ever canted oneehont cf joy to go up from the rebel camp in Se ceseia 1 Loud cheers | I know not upon what ground any poniou of cur fellow- citizens can perform any action, meke any declaration, or cast .any vote which, most bo received with favor by the enemies of tha country, and which must encourage them to their efforts to overthrow the Government, with the belief, or with ihe expectation, that they Rre to maintain the Union of the States as it has been heretofore, and as it will ba hereafter. [Applause.] , I cannot believe that any con siderable portion of the people of this State have any other purpose, any other deaigo, than that of contributing to maintain tho Government; and I trust that to all which is done by them they will net only have that pur pose to view, but that it shall also tend to secure that re sult. | Applause] Fellow-citizens, it is not my right or my privilege to trespass further upon your time.

I bear with me the remem brance of kindneasjin the past, and high hopes for the future, both for myself and my companions in arms; for tho people of my native Commonwealth; for our glorious country, the Amezican Union; and for the groakprlvi legeß which God and onr fathers gave to uj, and which, we are to maintain unimpah ed and perpetuate forever. - [Bond applause, followed by three cheers'for Genual Banks.] ev.-y»-i -- SPEECH OP HON. CHABIES BUJINEE. - ' Fkllow-Citizens : I am grateful for this welcome with which yon how honor me. But feeling, as I do, that you are to honor the cause of which I am a repre sentative, I confess that I covet something of the in spiration of your own music in order fitly to express the joy-that I feel. For never am I touched bo much as by what is sure for the cause. [Applause.] The cause of the President, cf the Government, of. the Bepublie, and the cense of Liberty itself, has triumphed.
