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ordinance, if it has been repealed or allowed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

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

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.'

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. They avow their
hostility to the war, to the pfesehTAJmiiisira.-
; tiec, ahd tl><.i*-!!yniDathy for ike reDemw. traey ~
go further, and avow their purpose to oreate a
Korthwestern-Confeilf'p«''J'—who -
Tuaeheekmgto get into Congress and the State Legis
lature, call themselves Democrats for the sake of
• getting votes,... but .their. active partisans avow
themselves Secessionists, and declare themselves
on tho side of the rebellion. 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. T
venture to predict for you, that out of the fourteen
Congressmen to be elected to-morrow, the Uhiohi
and War party will elect : ,u—'
The loyal menofTlllnois have every considera
tion which ean be presented to the minds of patri
ots to make a mighty effort to save theirlState"from.
. the clutches of the Knights of the Golden Circle,
the tory allies of Jeff Davis and his minions. The
• high character the; State has attained by her devo
tion to the Union, and by sending her thousands
ihto this.war for its "restoration—the personal inte
rests and self-respect-of the citizens—these and '
, many other considerations,- all- prompt them to put.
forth every energy they possess to avert the oaia-.
mity of a Secession. triumph— Will they disappoint
; the hopes of the loyal people of the North, or per-:
mit this lasting disgrace through, any neglect or
indifference, on their part ? " 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. Providence soemß to have provided large,
inexhaustible coal : bedSj,in the midst of all these
. rich prairies, where timber is scarce. Corn is how
so abundant and so fine, that any quantity can be
had for twenty cents!
1 have mot here, and at all other points, many
.Virginians,"North Carolinians, and Tennessoans,
with whom I was acquainted as many as twenty
"and thirty years ago. I knew they,had removed
to the Western country, but I did not know where..
Many of them came fifteen and twenty miles to see_
and bear me. I recognized one Methodist lady as
, soon as sho approached me, whose brother is in the
Rebel Congress, though I had not seen her since I
enjoyed the hospitalities of her house, in Western
' Carolina, in 1830. -

He was buried yesterday. His remains repose In the

The escort was followed by the remains of the lamented

ceremony than the reading of the simple and touching
burial service, by Br. Strickland.
General Mitchell was attended throughout his illness
by Surgeon Mitchell, of the Bth , Maine-Vblnnteera, and
by Surgeon Crane, United States army. Everything
- that science or ekill could bring to allay the malignity of

The tenth army corps will-learn with regret of the
death of its commander, MsjonGeneral 0. M. Mitchell,
who departed this life cn the evening of the 30th of Oc
tober, 1862- ..
Major General O.M. Mitchell was a- graduate; of the
Military Academy at West Point, but retired from the
aimy atter a Bhort period of Eervice,-until'the danger of
Mb country again called him to arms at the ontbreak of
the present rebellion; and, In the West, where*he'com
manded a division of our army as a brigadier general
of volunteers, he proved himself to be a gallant and effi
cient commander. ; :
Brief as was his career in the Department of the South,
yet had he already won the esteem and regard of all by
bis energy and activity in directing the movements of the
corps agalnst the adjoining rebels, and the firmness and
- tempered justice with which he conducted.the adminis
trative duties of the department. He died with the oalm
fortitude'of a believing Christian, and while we lament
the death of a good soldier and a kind friend, let us en
deavor to emulate the virtues and soldierly qualities of our
late commander.

and debouching upon an open, rolling country, the rebels
opt ned upon us »ith a field battery’ from a” position on
fheplantatioh known as Oaston’s., I, immediately caused
the' First brigade to deploy, and bringing my artillery to
sthe front, drove the rebels from'tbis position. They, how
ever, destroyed all smaibbridges in the vicinity, causing
"much delay in my advance. These, with the aid ol the
sfiiginedr, corps;-were' reconstructed, and I foltoweA up
, .the retreat of the rebels with all haste practicable. I haa
edvsDced about a tiuarier of a mile farther when a bat*

The I tb'ls here had every advantage or.ground, being
ensconsed in a wood,.with a deep swftinp, passable orny
by "a narrow causeway, -(the bridge on,which had, been

this wood the let-els threw » most terrific fire of .gra**-
'shot, 'shell, .canister,,‘.and- musket balls, killing and
wdunding great numberaof-my'command. .
I had warmly responded to, this ; fire with the sections
cf the first end Third United Staleß ArttUery and the

tailgo bridge ; here the rebels opened a murderous fir*
upon us from tbe batteries of siege gnns and field piece
on tbe further Bide.of the creek. Our skirmishers, how
ever, advanced boldly to the edge of the swamp, and)
from what cover they eonld obtain, did considerable exe
cution among the enemy. 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.
The bridge across the Pocotsiligo was destroyed, and tha
rebels from behind their earthworks continued a tremen
dous fire on the only approach through the s^amp.
Night was now closing fast, and seeing the utter hope
lessness Of attempting anything farther against tha
force which the enemybad concentrated at this point
from Savannah and Charleston, with an army, of muoh
inferior force, unprovided with ammunition, and not
having even sufficient transportation to remove tha
wounded, who were tying. writhing along our entire
route, I deemed It expedient to retire on Mackay’s
Point, wfcichl did in succesrive lines or defence, bury
ing my tend and carrying our wounded with ns on
such stretchers as we oould manufacture from
branches of trees and blankets, &c., and, receiving
no molestation from tho rebels, embarked and return
ed to Hilton Head on tbe 28a inst. Ficta turned
to show that the rebelß were perfectly acquainted with
all our plans, ,es they had evidently studied our purposes
with care, and had two lines of defence—Carton and
Frampton—before falling back on Pocotallgo, where,
aided by their field-works and favored by the nature of
the ground and the facility of concentrating troops, they
evidently purpose making a determined stand, and, in
deed, the accounts gathered from prisoners Lave no
doubt but that the rebelß had very accurate information
of our movements.
Tbe troops of tho command behaved with great gat-
Hutry, and advanced against a remarkably heavy fire of
musketry, canister, grape, round shot, and shell, driving
the enemy before them with much determination. IWM
perfectly satisfied with their conduct. '■
It affoids mo mnch pleasure again to report the perfect
cordiality ixisiing between the two branches of the ser
vice, and I am much indebted to Oapt. Steedmau for hia
valuable aid and assistance to disembarking and re-em
barking the troops; also, to sending launches (with
howitzers) to prevent an altaekon oar pickets while wo
were embarking to return to Hilton Head.,

NADED—THEUt SPEECHES.
In Heston, on Tuesday evening, when the overwhelm
ing triumph of the Union ticket was announced, Hon.
Hr. Enmner end Gen. Backs were serenaded. We print
their speeches in reply:
SPEECH OF MAJOR, GENERAL BANKS.
Fellow- Citizens : I thank you for the honor yon
have conferred upon me by this assemblage to-night. I
need not accept peur kindness as a proof of your interest
in that part cf the Government w-hich I represent, or in
tbe canse for which the army of the United States is at
this time struggling. Massachusetts, by her men, by
her material resources, and by the loyal, spirit which
she exhibited at all times, has given proof to tha
world of her cevoticn to the Union and the Govern
ment. [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. [Loud cries of “Go
on!”] Letme say, that I accept your welcome as a proof
of jour approval of that which I have endeavored to do,
and ihst hereafter, in whatever position I may be placed,
I will guide mj self by the hope and by the purpose that
what I shall hereafter do, shall still be In accordance
with the judgmepfcie-Atobet too»«*»•-of my own dear
and honend'native gtate. [Loud cheers j *
for your kindness. I appreciate it as you could wish.
I wiil carry with me to the ranks of the army the spirit
and the courage with which yon have inspired me; and
those privates or officers who have not been able to re
turn to their homeß, Bhall hear from me, both night and
day, whether engaged in duty or in pleasure, the proofs
of tbs confidence with which you regard them, and tha
approval which you will bestow upon them when it
shall be their happiness again to return to their homes.
[Applause. | And I will say to them that those of ns
who bare fallen, or may fall (hereafter, will be remera
_htted.hv.the|nsopie wrthoro-ssorifioedto a’good. cause, to
which shall be to ihe sequel, if not in thetouaedt t
ate present, a victory and a triumph. - s
Believe me, fellow- citizens, I ought not, and I trust
: you will hot ask me, to say more at tbi3*time, Igo from
among yon to-morrow. 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.

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. All of these
have been put in jeopardy. But; so far as Massachusetts
votes can go, they have been saved. [Loud applause.!
Yon are right to celebrate the triumph with beautiful
music and with processions. This election will quicken
and inspire your gallant soldiers who are now standing
front to front with the rebel foe [applause]; and It will
disheerten the whole rebellion, [cheers and cries of
“ That’s so,’’j for it will proclaim, in audible tones, that
Massachusetts wilt bo content with nothing less than iho
complete restoration of the Union and the establishment
of peace oa the indestiuctibiefoundation of human rights.
[Applause and cries of “good.”]
Massachusetts has borte her testimony beyond all
doubt or conviction. Her servants are now instructed
in her will, and that will is worthy cf her Puritan origin
and her revolntionsry history. I congratulate you, fol
low-citizens, upon the election of John A. Andrew as
Governor, and upon the election of a patriotic Legisla
ture, who will sympathize, truly and nobly, with his
Excellency. Tbe State is at least secure, and I con
gratulate you especially upon the election in this Con
gressional district of otirs, where the contest, if not tha
most severe, has been the most bitter. A candidate was
brought forward by the combined opposition, who began
Mb canvass by charging all the Massachusetts delegation
in Congress—Representatives as well as Senators—with
a neglect cf the manufactures, the commerce, and the
fisheries of our country.. [“ Shame!”] To this gentle
man, bearing fake witness against his neighbor, yon
have replied by yonr votes. [Applause, and cries of
“ That’s so!’ ] And allow me io gay that I think.you
have vindicated your characters as practical men, by
rejecting a candidate whoso claims were founded,-tot,
oh opposition to the declared policy of the President,
and, secondly, on the calumnions pretension that oil yonr
Bepresentativea, as well as your Senators, had neglected
the material interests of the Commonwealth, But tha
rejection of ;such a candidate shows, on yonr part, pa
triotism bb well as practical sense

The Pirate Alabama—Fuglish Cruisers in
Fnrsuit of Her.
Upon receiving the information that Captain Semmes
had diaiegarded.the certificates or a Britith consul, and
in the face of the consular seal, regularly affixed to pa
pers establishing the British ownership of certain pro
perty on boßrd of a vessel captured by him, had de
liberately proceeded to bum that property with the
vessel which contained it, the British consul in this
city, we ate informed, immediately took steps to repre
sent these transactions most forcibly to Admiral .Milne,
commanding her Britannic Tdaiesty’s squadron-in the
American waters. The admiral, upon receivingths
representations bf’the consul, forthwith ordered three
British men-of-war in pursnit of the Alabama] with
orders,'ebs we understand, to overhaul that vessel of
wrath, and convey her’to Eome British port, where
her violations of - intemafionsl law may bs judicially in
quired into. /. ,
We do not desire the destruction of this scourge of the
American seas by British hands. It,becomes us to claim
our own waters of our own rebels, and wo should be
sorry to have the work of Mr. Welles done for him t>7
Mr. Consul Archibald and Bear Admiral JSIUse.. But, if
the Alabama is only to be arrested in her merciless and
lawless career by these means; we may at least be thank
ful for the relief which this arrest will bring to our com
merce, and we hope that the incident may have a whole
seme effect upon our British kinsfolk, who have beea'eo
ready with their sympathies in the service of the Confe
derate South:—if. I’. Tines.
