THE WAR.
■ We have/always maintained that the rebels
wbuld be oompelkd to abandon their position at
Winchester as soon as General McClellan made an
advance movement. By such a movement they
would be necessarily flanked, unless they resorted
to the expedient of changing their base” with
considerable agility. The Army of the Potomac is
adraneing rapidly. It has taken possession of five
gaps—Chester Gap, at Front Royal,‘being reported
to'be in its possession Do these seemingly im
portant successes mean that the rebels have been
flanked, and that, isolated from Richmond, thoy
are now oooped up in the Shenandoah valley, with
no way home but via Staunton ?: Such would Seem"
to bj tboir meaning; for we have no more definite
information to-day than wo had a week ago that
the main rebel army has ictiealed.; Our army
is hugging its way cautiously along : the Blue
Ridge; it has seized all the mountain passes;
’ but does it follow that the long-promised bag
ging has at last been accomplished? We fear
not. There are indications that the bird
has flown, and the passes have been seized - too
late. Notwithstanding yesterday’s despatch, that
there seemed to be considerable numbers of the
enemy at Winchester, we dohot believe that their
main body, or indeed any large force of them,
now remains west of the Blue Ridge. Where
and how have they gore? Very probably to Gor
’ donsvilio for tbo time being, via Front Royal.
Here they have an exoellent position, and if we
misteke, not strengthened by entrenohmonts. But
information reaohes us that they have| a force
Of some ten thousand men at Warren ton,
and the rumor has likewise been print
od that Jackson and Lee were at Gulpeperl
Can it be that they will attempt their old game of
masting their whole strength in a sadden attack on
ourleftwing? Such an impression is entertained
by many, who are thoroughly aware of tho despe
ration of the rebels; and who feel convinced that
they will hnzard a pitched battle rather than settle
down to the sufferings and privations of winter
quarters, We shall know their desgin in a day or
. two.
THE NEWS
Tun Peirce he Joinville closes an account of
his peninsular campaign with* General McClellan,
by an expression of fear that the Federal Govern
ment might be forced to abolish slavery—a mo ve
ment which he deprecates in advance, on thesoore
of hum'inity and policy.
A New Voek journal of yesterday stated that
three British vessels had been sent in pursuit of .the
Alabama. The story is pronounced untrue at the
consul's office in that city. A very late despatch
from Halifax makes no mention of any vessel'-of
war having been ordered out. The fact of the de
struction of British property is true, as the entire
cargo of the Lafayette belonged to British owners,
hut we are assured no definite action has been taken
by the British admiral as yet.
Ak Indianapolis paper publishes a gentleman’s
story that Gen. Buell and Gov. Johnson recently
had an “ imbroglio,” and that the latter had his
ears boxed. Hardly. .
The letter-writers from Montreal tell us that
there is an “ uneasy feeling ” there. The daily
steamers from Quebec have been quietly bringing up
shot, and of late shell, and a number of Armstrong
guns. Then again, on the Ist instant, tbq, Ariadne,
one of the finest frigates in the British navy, passed
Father Point on her way to Quebec, where sho is
now lying. The Ariadne, it seems, has brought up
two troops qt-“»Uiiery, a quantity of stores.

into Canada, and the knowing ones are oertain that
at least ten tlious 'nd men will be concentrated-in ■■
that city during the winter.

The National Finances.
The most remarkable and the most gratify
ing feature in the current history ot the war
is the present condition of the public credit,
and the ■wonderful development of the finan
cial resources of the loyal States. No other
Government, of the present or of the past, can
lurnish a precedent for the anomaly pre
sented—a material advance in the national
securities, permanently maintained during a
gigantic war, pyer: their value in a preceding
period of profound peace. This advance, has
received no stimulus from foreign capital. It
has been fostered by a skilful administration
of the Treasury, which has inspired the people
with confidence, and their confidence has
-iggrno abundant fruit in enormous subscrip
puMclotS? " lass f °. r forms of the
due to the p a hiotk irbe^ 1 ? i 0“!. mnoll 1 i 3
but quite as much to their intelligent appre’-:-
Ciation of the intrinsic value and safety of the
national securities as an investment. In the
later days of Buchanah’s' 'Administration,
during a time of peace, and of industrial and
commercial prosperity, the Government paid
as high as twelve per cent, upon some of its
loans, while its bonds were held in the market
at a corresponding discount, ranging- from
eighty-five to ninety-three cents on the dollar.
This was the condition of the Federal credit
at the inauguration of the present Adminis
tration. The nation was then upon the verge
of a civil war, the magnitude and duration of
which no man could foresee. The Treasury
was empty. There was an accumulated debt
Of some seventy millions of dollars. A part of
this indebtedness was falling due, and must be
met at once. Means were wanting for the
daily necessities of the Government. Indefi
nite amounts were to he provided, without de
lay, to meet the .uncertain but threatening
emergencies of the hear iuture.. Rapidly the
strength and determination of the rebellion
were developed, and it became evident that the
oxpendituresfor warpurposes must, in amount,
be unprecedented in tho past history of the
country. Keeping pace: with these difficul
ties, the financial policy of the Government
was gradually, developed; and meanwhile the
firm and prudent management of the Treasury
by Secretary Chase had restored the popular
confidence, and lifted the public credit from !
the depression in which he found it when he 1
entered upon his office. Government bonds
became the favorite investment, not only of
the great capitalists and moneyed institutions,
but of the people of moderate means through
out the loyal States. Many millions of dollars
were subscribed for the great “ seven-thirty” *
popular loan weeks before the bonds could bo j
engraved and printed, This loan, as our read- j
ers are aware, now commands a premium of j
about five per cent. The twenty-year six per
cent, loan, due in 1881, also commands a pro- -
mium of from-three to four psr cent. The -
two-year six per cent, treasury notes, bearing !
Six per cent, interest, and receivable for cus. i
toms dues, are worth from twenty-eight to
thirty per cent, premium; and the issue of de.
mand notes is eagerly sought after at a pre
mium of twenty-six per cent.! These two lat
ter are receivable forpuilic dues.
These several issues of bonds and notes,
including the new emission of legal tenders,
which bear no interest, the four-per-cent, de
posits with the Assistant Treasurer, and the
“certificates of indebtedness,” payable one
year from date oi issue, and bearing six per
cent, interest, together with the v legacy of
nearly seventy millions of debt, left' by Mr.
Buohaxah’s Administration, constitute the
whole of the present national indebtedness,
amounting in the aggregate to about six hun
dred and fifty millions of dollars. Upm this
amount the Government pays only an ave
rage interest of a little more than four per cent,
per annum. The aggregate 'of annual in
terest will not exceed twenty-six millions of
dollars. - -
Industrious attempts have bean made by un
scrupulous partisans and sympathizers'with
the rebellion to weaken, the public credit by
magnifying the amount of the national indebt
edness; , Itlwas stated in Congress, during its
last session, that the debt had reached a thou
sand millions of-dollars. -Six -months have,
elapsed,' mid it is now but little more than
three-fifths of that, sum. - It falls far below the
predictions of a year ago; and in the future
the' ratio of increase will' be very greatly re
duced. The customs receipts at a single port,
(New -York), during the past nine months
were nearly double the annual interest on the
lunded debt-, and the total receipts from im
ports for the current fiscal year will be about
sixty millions; The new tariff has not checked,
but lather increased tho revenue from imports.
• The “Internal Revenue Tax ’’- judging from
the eagerness with which the stamps are
sought after in all parts of the country, and
the cheerfulness and promptness with which
the tax is every where met—wiil largely ex
ceed the original anticipations of its produc
tiveness. The most intelligent estimates of the
amount to be realized from these and other
sources place the total revenues from two hun
dred to two hundred and't on millions of dollars.
Placing the -expenditures of the Government
for all purposes at a million and a quarter per
day, (as recently stated by Secretary Chase
in bis published letter to the president of a
Boston bank,) wo have, as the total expendi
tures of the coming year, some four hundred
and fifty : six millions of dollars. Of this sum,
some two hundred millions of dollars will be
paid from current receiptsas shown above,
leaving only two hundred and fifty-six millions
of dollars'fo be added to our-present national
■ indebtedness at the end of another year, should'
the war continue so long. The facts and con
siderations above imperfectly presented afford
abundant justification - of the unstinted con
fidence of the people in the entire soundness
of the financial policy of the Government.
They demonstrate the almost exhaustless pe
cuniaiy resources of the loyal people of the
Union, and their determination and ability to
maintain, the Federal credit. Not only, do
they exhibit a wonderful success in the past',
but they furnish every reasonable assurance
ot like success in the future. ; 1
Our Present Military Strength
The present total effective strength of our
armies—by which wo mean the force actually
in the field—has been estimated to be about
seven hundred thousand men, in round
numbers. At the beginning of the year there
were under arms 640,637 volunteers, .and
20.334 regulars, making a total of 660,971; so
that actually the two levies since made by the
President, in accordance with the provisions
of the act of Congress, empowering him; to
call out, if necessary, half a million of men,
have, as yet, added but little to our military
efficiency. The first call for three hundred
thousand troops, it would seem,, did little
more than fill up the regiments that , had
been depleted by the casualties of the camp
and the field. Before we had really achieved
any grand victory commensurate with our ex-,
penditure of blood and treasure, our hospitals
were filled up, and constant appeals were made
to our philanthropy, on behalf of tho sick and
wounded. Perhaps, too, desertion, in a mild
form, helped along the decimating process, for
bur hotels and prominent thoroughfares were
constantly thronged with gaily uniformed offi
cers, apparently in good health, and with no
, valid excuse for their neglect of duty. As
suming that the second : call- for three huu
drtd thousand men has, been fully answered,
therefore, it could hardly raise the numerical
strength of the army' above nine hundred
thousand men, from which the large num
ber of those who, after a few months” trial,
would be found unable to endure the
fatigue and exposure of camp-lifo, wonia.
sim - n—,o to_be deducted. But in reality
we cannot assume tnaD-ti.^-i^^ t 0 f Mr.
Lincoln has been so answered as to place the
troops at the disposal of the War Department.
We have probably ten thousand of these men
encamped in the vicinity of this city, and -not
only are they unfit, owing to lack of discipline,
for active service, but they have yet to be pro -
vided with aims and clothing. At several
other points in the State, camps of equal size
have been established, and as yet we have no
assurance that they may. not be converted into
winter quarters. : True, within- the last three
months many thousands of troops, not only
from this Slate but from the North and East, ;
have been sent southward, hut a great por
tion of them have been required to occupy
the defences of Washington,-which even now
are insufficiently garrisoned, when we consider
their extent and important charactor. In
view of these facts, the estimate which places
our present total fighting force at seven hun
dred thousand men is probably very near the
truth. The total'sounds grandly enough to
the ear j but when we recollect that General
McClellan along the base of the Blue Ridge,
' General Slain at Fairfax, General Roseceans
in Kentucky, General Pope in the [North
west, G eneral Curtis in Arkansas, General
Graxt at Corinth, General Butler at New
Orleans, and General BeAnnan at Port Royal,
each have a claim upon this total, we cannot
wonder that it has made such apparently slow
progress : towards vanquishing the most for
midable'rebellion the world has ever seen.
Among those who, for partisan reasons; en
tertain a chronic dissatisfaction with the pro
gress of the campaign, continual rcferonco is
made to our “ immense armies.” In view
of the gigantic work to bo accomplished, is
our army of seven hundred thousand men im
mense ? ’ England, which is at peace with all
the world, has a standing army of 212,773, of
one-third of our own.* France, likewise pa
cific, maintains a standing army of <lOO,OOO,
or more than half of ours; and Prussia, which
for the present, at least, has no war on hand,
sustains her. national honor, and military
»-ojstige as a leading Power, by 200,000 bayo
ne s, wmui.^ l , e Government is now de
strous of increasing 210,000—almost as
great as that ot England. Tn cao figures re
present the military strenstuf of p ower s
y hich havo no immense rebellion .
ho national integrity at stake; no national ex
istence pending in the balance. Their people, ■
by a taxation more onerous than our 'own,
must support standing armies, whose pro
tection is a constant yoke, and which con
stitute, indeed merely their military police.
We hare no standing armies to support, but
are an army in ourselves when the; cause of
civil liberty is assailed, and its obligationa we
do not count as burdens. Thus far, we have
failed to give to . the world any striking exhi
bition of our immense military We
have done what England, France, or Prussia
would have done had either of these nations
been similarly cireumstahced. It seemed but
recently that we began to realize how great
was the sacrifice demanded ot our patriotism;
but, with that realization, there has come at
the same time a noble response. We have
seen at last the magnitude of the war; we have
discovered that our armies were none too
large, and have graciously acquiesced in every
measure which the Government has deemed
requisite to increase them. When we have
placed nine hundred thousand or a million
soldiers in the field, it will be ample time to
claim praise for our self-sacrifices, and boast
of our immense military energies.
The South Not Yet “ a Nation.”
It was at an agricultural dinner, in Hereford,
on the 21st of October, that Sir Georoe 0.
Lewis, who is War Secretary in the Palmerston
Cabinet, gave a flat contradiction to the state
ment of Mr. Gladstone, at Newcastle, that the 1
rebellions South was already « a great nation,”
and, as Bheh,it might soon become the duty of,
European Powers to recognize. The actual
words of Sir, Gk C. Lewis, which are of great;
importance, were as follows: “ When the Go-;
vernment is asked to go a step farther [than *
acknowledging the South as belligerent], and;
to say.tbat the South is actually at this mo
ment, and has constituted itself anlndependent
state, then it seems to me that national law :
wouldnol be on his side.” He added, in conclu
sion, “until the war has hoen decided in favor
of one or the other—until it has been decided
so far in favor of the Southern States as to
induce the Northern States to recognise their
independence, or to prove to foreign nations that
the means of reducing the South -are exhausted
and at an end—that the Northern States are
therefore incapable of continuing the contest—
until that moment has arrived, it cannot be said,
in accordance -with the well known doctrines of
international law, that the , actual independence
of the Southern States has been eslablished. ,, \
Mr. Gladstone, it may be remembered, af
firmed! that- Jefferson DAvis had made a “great
nation” of the South.' His colleague, on the
other hand,'declares that the South cannot be
a nation'until it has accomplished its indepen
dence, either by beating the North, or, what
amounts to the same result, so much weaken
ing the North that it has hot the means, phy
sical and pecuniary, of continuihg the contest.
As there will probably be a passage of arms in
the coming Parliamentary session; between
Gladstone and Lewis, wo haveplaciid upon
record the very words uttered- by each, and
differing so widely in the principles they enun
ciate. .. "
LETTER PROM “ OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, November 6, 1862.
A somewhat careful review of the Congres
sional elections confirms me in my original.,
opinion, that the Administration will -have the
next House ofßepresentatives clear work
ing majority, giving to the Opposition a num
ber of votes from the Border States which
never will be cast with them. As things stand,
the Opposition have elected say seventy-one,
and the : Republicans arid Union Democrats
nearly ninety, with Kentucky, Tennessee, part
of Virginia, Connecticut, Rhode Island, pali
forDia, arid New Hampshire to vote. Allo wing ,
that they get twenty out of all these States—
a calculation based upon the idea that the un
conditional Union men will not carry a man in
either Kentucky, Maryland, or Tennessee,
which is a calculation that never will be re
alized—arid the required six or eight we shall
easily carry in the coming elections, put us de
cidedly in possession of the popnlar branch of
Congress. Wo ought, however, to get,at least
two Emancipationists in Maryland, two' in
Western Virginia, two in Kentucky,* and 'one
in Tennessee ; and if our friends arc -not..di
vided we shall carry three in California,'three
or four in Connecticut, and two in New Hamp
shire. The Administration will thus have a
fine margin left.
But no Administration can survive a great
warlike that in which we,are now engaged;
and divisiong among its own friends.. The
unconditional Unionists will have the; next
House, if they are united, and this without
putting themselves into the power of any of
those Border State politicians who; while pro
fessing to be for the war, deal in foolish at
tacks upon the Abolitionists, and in still moro
foolish assaults upon the emancipation bill.
But the unconditional Unionists can never
' succeed in this, or in the coming Presidential
election, unless they at once decide to con
fide in their own President and his constitu
tional advisers. They can never succeed in
these great objects unless they leave to the
common enemy the business of attacking the
constituted authorities. In one word, they
should cease unearthing the errors of the past,
and point the public authorities to the future.
I am not of those who believe that all has
gone as I would - have * liked it to have gone,
but when I see that the enemies of the country
think by harping on the string of imbecility
and incapacity here, they do more to weaken
the country, because they profess to re-echo
Republican complaints, 1 withhold my doubts
arid fall back on my faith. This is the lesson
I learned.ln the days when to be a Democrat
was to ccnfide in the heads of the Government
in times of trial and trouble. This was the'
practice of the Democracy-during the Mexican
war, and the Opposition profit by a neglect of
this lesson now on the part of certain jour
nals in the interest of the party of tho war.
The allegation that any Republican, voted
with tho opposition to the war because
the Administration was not sufficieatly
vigorous is, on the face of it, monstrous.
Whatsort of a Republican is he j who,
in order to rebuke Mr*; Lincola, votes
with a party desiring to destroy the Govern
ment and substitute Davis for Lincoln ? The
best way,- however, to secure the new
Congress Is to quiot dissensions in .the coming
short session of Congress. If this is not done
the new Congress will meet under the most
-disheartening circumstances. - ;

- The New Chestnut-street- Thea
tre.—The-new theatre now lit pipoeaa’ of erection on
Chestnut street, above Twelfth, is rapidly advancing to
ward completion, and consequently attracting a vast deil
of attention. To superficial observers the interest taken
.at present in v theatricals would seem to bo somewhat
incompatible with the requirements of this martial age.
The fact, however, that there is. a time and place for
every thing, Is juntos much a fact in these days of Lin
coln as it was ta the days ol Solomon.
The new theatre will be a fitting temple for the dramatic
muse. . Situated in the very.business heart of a great
city, in the very bosom of fashion and wealth, not only
be brigbt, but it will also exercise

thioughout the community.
The building will be obnstrnoted according to the plank,
elevations, sections, detail, drawings, etc., made and to
be furnished by S. D. Bnltar, architect. The dimensions
are sixty-six feet front, by the same width on Olovar
street, - and one hundred and fifty feet deep. The; m tin
walls will be fifty-five feet six inches high from paveubnt
in front to wall plate, - the rear walls being carried:op to
enit the rake of the roof. The front first storr will be of
cast iron; in the upper section, the two centre Corinthian
columns will be of iron, the ethers or brick piers, sur
mounted by Corinthian caps. The cornices and tbe top
finish will also be of iron. In regard to the excavations,
the rear under the stage floor is dug to the depth of
twenty-one feet and a half, clear of the stage floors.
All the cellar and foundation walls are of stone of the
vent first Quality, the foundation stones for front and
rear wall being hot less than four feet six inches long, by
■ from two to three feet six inches wide.B ho pavements'will
bo of granite, in single lengths. Pressed bricks, of uniform
color, acd of the very best quality, will be employed for
the front. The roof will be formed in the moat substan
tial manner possible, and the timber will be of the best
quality white pine. All doors, Bashes, and shutters will
be made of good, Bound,thoroughly-seasoned white pine
penei timber. All of the dressing-rooms, sixteen innum

The proscenium arch will be supported by six pilasters,
with richly ornamented caps and base j, -The pilasters
wifi be fluted and reeded, and all the ornamßUtS exe
cuted In the boldest and most’ekilfnl manner. The front
of private boxes, and dress circle front, will be richly
ornamented with moulding, leaves, brackets, and scrolls,
and all interior ornaments will be of,wood or papier
mache, except on circles of auditorium. The: scroll
work on the proncomum arch will be of wood, richly
carved, and very bold. A wreathed panel will occupy
the centre of the a* cb, with a medallion- head of :Shak
speare in full relief, and two figures holding a scroll in
one band, and wreath in the other. The-panel ,in the
preecenium arch will he "frescoed in emblematic figures
and scroll enrichments.
The prominent parts of tho ornaments of the prosce
ciom box fronts, pilasters, caps, entablatures, brackets,
wreaths, Iron caps, oto., will be enriched with gold leaf,*
similar lo the Academy of Music In this city. Thedome
will beUresooed in emblematic groups of figures. The
statues and busts, on tbo outßide front, wilt be of terra
cotta, representing tragedy and comedy. A bustof Bhafcs
peare will/also occupy a prominent position. The ar
rangements for the lighting of the edifice are most com
plete ana saUafectdry: throughout the halls of entrance,
pastages, stage, dreming-rooms; saloon, and'greem. room.
•Tho -buitding * .will he* heated by steam, with steain
en sine blowers for ventUaKom " The apparatus for heat
ing and ventilation will be of the most approved con
struction, and regulate the temperature, throughout the
-winter and summer, to the proper degree of health and
enjoyment By means of tubular-boilers, and a large
fan, whose detailed construction would bo a matter of
much nicety in expianatiob, these, results will be InfalU
bly secured. A first class'saloon, sixty feet by sixty
four, will occupy the ; under part of the building, and,
with its marble floor, and furniture throughout to corre
spond, will prosent a sumptuous appearance. . The main
jnlrnncewlil be twonty-five feet wide, with large open
stairways to the dress and family circles. The auditorium
will comprised capacious parquette, entered on a rise of
two eteps from tho street, and above this there will be au
elegant * dreßj-oircle, with private and proscenium boxes,
surmounted by a family circle. There wilt be no gallery
or amphitheatre. Tho decorations of the auditorium will
be chastely brilliant, being entirely white, gold, and
crimson. The " house will be lighted principally by a
splendid crystal chandelier. :
Tbe Btago will be Bixty-Bix feet wide hr elxly-fon: feet
deep, theccrtaln opening tt the proseenlnm being
twenty-seven feet, with a height of forty feet at the pro
scenium. But it is oh tho stage Itself.tbit tbs'greatest
improvement will be made. There will bs ample height
and depth .to, take entire- sets of tcenes up, or to sink
them at pleasure, whilst the stage will be so constructed
as to enable nearly the whole of it to bo sunk to a great
depth, In addition to the ordinary traps .and mechanical
contrivances, thus affording facilities for scenic effects
which ro other establishment on this Bide of the Atlantic'
possesses. The arrangements for lighting the stage, and
their perfect control, will also be entirely novel, and wor-1
(hily replace the clumsy and unsatisfactory, method now-,
in general theatrical use.
All the mechanical departments have been well cared
for, and ample space allotted them. Hor has, as is gene
rally the case, the comfort o( the aotors been forgotten.
All the entrances to the auditorium will bo on Chestnut
street, as also the box office and the manager’s private
-rooms.
The name of this theatre seems not yet to have been
positively decided upon. Some name is absolutely ne
cessary. Why should it not be called the PhiladeiphU
Theatre ? This title will serve to designate it; more ap
propriately than some of the others which have been sug
gested. It is decidedly a Philadelphia theatre. In
architectural beauty and - luxury of Interior- arrange
ment it will'rank pre-eminent. -The lessee 'will he Mr.
Wm. Wheatley, that most enterprising .and succeeafal
manager, and most:versatiie and finished performer. In
regard'to terms of-the lease, these are, and will remain,
strictly private, and it is hut proper that they should be
so. According to the contract, tbo building should be
completed by the 28th of December.' Them is a motor
in regard to its being opened on Christmas Eve, hot this
is not positively decided, upon

An Interesting Will jSAsa.— -In
the Court of Oomihon Plees, during tho past three days,
an intsereuMng suit has been tried: The auibwas-ln the
naiure-cf wfeigned issue to try the- validity of a will;
Beiiben Boot’s, a colored gentleman of this oityy being
the plaintiff, and Faismoro Williamson tho defondand.
Toe facts of the case are as follows: Nancy Coots was
a elave In Vltginia till eome twenty years agoy when,
obtaining her freedom from her master, she came to this
city and began the business of a washerwoman in> West
Philadelphia. She conducted the business Insuch’B’way V
as to acquire the confidence of those for whom- she
wrought, and' acquired property to a- oonsiderable,
amount. .. About nine years previous to her death sho
married Beubon ..Coots, the plaintiff in- this issue.
Bhe became acquainted with Paßsmore Williamson, the
defendant, some years ago, and gave him the-charge of
.her entire property,. In the year 1869, nndor his direc
tions, she, with her husband joining, made a declaration
of trust to defendant reserving to herself, an annual
sum, and sho the privilege of making a will. In the
month of March, 1331, she made her will, leaving her
husband two hundred and fifty dollars, her grand-niece
fivo hundred dollars, and a few other small bequests,
amounting, altogether, to the sum of twenty-five haa
dred dollars, and all the rest, residue, and remainder of
her estate, real and personal, to Herd K. t wife-of Pais
more Williamson.. The effect of the declaration, of trust,
which has not been recorded, but has been in tho-posses
sion of Passmore Williamson since its execution, was to
divest the husband of-Nancy Ooots of his ourtasy, which
by law he would have otherwise bsenentitled to. ■
The evidence on the pare of tho plaintiff was very full,
showing that the testatrix had been of unsound mind
for some years previous to her death, and'that a very
eevore burn on her foot, received a few months bofore
her death, and from which she never reoovered, had the
effect of shattering her nervous system and impairing
-‘her intellect.. ■ : : ■
Tlie plaintiff also showed that the will was In the hand
writing of PaEtraore Williamson, woi taken out by him
to the bouse of the testatrix, and was executed there in
the presence of E. H. Williamson, a cousin and parinor
of Faesmbre Williamton, and H. E. Warriuer, his attor
ney, that the will was neycr in the possession of Nancy
Ooots, the testatrix, but was taken away by defendant
as eoon es it was executed. .
Tho plaintiff also showed that the testatrix had told
her relatives that she had made her will, and that they
were all provided for; that her property was . going to
bo ont np into lots, and' that each of her relatives was
going to have one of them.
The evidence on the part of the defendant was as to the
soundness of mind of testatrix. Several witnesses were
examined, who testified that sho: wasof as Bound mind
as any other person; that at the time she executed the
will she" was .competent to do so, and that her mind was
sound; that the burn on her foot bad tho effect of causing
nervousness and irritability,hut did not affect her brain".

MOBMONISM AND DOUBLE LOVE.—Last week
a company of Mormon emigrants arrived at Boston, on
their way to Utah. 'Among .them was noticed a young
mas, more distinguished in Ms appearance than the re
mainier of the company, and near him two young fe
males, deeply veiled, whose delicate grace and ra3srve
indicated them as belonging to a superior coctal position.
Their bißtory merits relation. Ludwig Faroe was the
eon of a rich land-owner in Sweden, and the two young
ladies were two.orphans, who were bronght up with him
inhisfaiher’s family, until he left for coHege,atDon
tfaeim, where he remained several years, and afterwards
travel ing over the greater part of Europe, his former
piaimateß were forgotten, Betuming at last to his home,
be was astonished to find two beautiful
the Undine of the poet. He was struck to the heart as
with an arrow. Love conauered him at first sight. He was
in Jove, but with which one? Both were splendidly
beautiful. He was enamored of both. He was in a
whirlpool of doubt, indecision, and perplexity; It was
necessary to come to some decision, and he naturally
came to the most d-01l one. In anexce aof desperate
frankness he related to the two young girls the state of
bis feelings. They laughed at him at first, thentheyre
fleeted, and the result of their reflections was that they
both loved Ludwig, and were as embarrassed as he.
About...this time one of the Mormon apostles passing
through the place sought to make proselytes to the doc
trine of the Saints, and converted the.young man and.the
two girls, liras Ludwig Feroe, and bis companions,
Mina and Evohe, rorm a part of the Mormon emigrants
on thtir way to Salt Lake, where their romance of love
end duplications of wives will bo speedily divested of all
ebarrmby the low associations around them.
DESTRUCTION OF FBUIT.—Wo regret to learn,
from accounts in our country exchanges, that the late
storm resulted in the destruction of. ungathered fruit—
erpecially in Northwest Missouri. The apple crop of
this region was very fine, and no country produces bet
ter. Much cf this fruit remained in the orchards, un
gathered, when the enow storm came, followed by a hard
freetse. One farmer in Andrew county, says tho St.
Joteph Journal, lost 500 bushelß of fine fruit.— St. Louis
Evening News.
TO BE INOBEASEB —ft is stated that the'military'

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Philadelphia,’November 6.
The activity in gold matters was accompanied by an
advance, without any apparent reason. The opinions as
to the effects of the late elections on gold are so contra
dictory and various that it is impossible to deduct a
-rational cause for the advance, if, indeed," it is founded
( upon to uncertain an issue. She more likely excuse for
- specie maintaining its present position'is the tmdetermi
nate action of our aimies. That we seem to be on the
eve of great results is certain, but a voice will speak out
and ask whether or hot they will be favorable to the
Federal came, let the impending battle he'declded in
cur favor, and a heavy decline may be looked for. The
fictitious value of specie Is based upon the fears of She
ultimate success of the South, and that the North will be
exhausted before compelled to acknowledge Southern ia
' dependence. A few: days will likely set foie matter at
rest, and we as confidently look for a decline in the
value of the precious article as we do for a brilliant
victory over the robe!armies now in McClellan's front.-
The cloeing figure was 131, with rather a strong market;
Old demands were very active at 125,J£@128 bid. Cer

The Boston Evening Traveller, of the sth, says :
“ There is considerable activity In business on the
wharves 'and in the chief commercial streets. The
money market is tending to still greater abundance than
has prevailed for tome time past, and the supply for tem
porary Joans, on pledges of collateral securities, is in-ex
cess of the demand, even at the .present reduced rates of
interest—as there are moro public and private tenders
than borrowers. The trading in silver-ard goidcoln- has
ceased to attract mnch attention, and the previous ex
citement in regard to high premiums has measurably
subsided
" The demand for sound dividend-paying- securities
Is strong and constant, .and it would probably be ex
tremely hard to execute any very Urge orders to buy,
without materially enhancing the current quotations.
Sellers are often Induced to part with their stocks, when
they advance much.-without .knowing exactly what to
do with jhe funds afterthe? receive them: Them again,
the difference of one -third between gold and currency is
perhaps, hot thought of whilo*' calculating apparent
