WEDNESDAY, NOY. 12, 1862.
A Companion Picture,
The English newspapers have a treasure, l ln
the person of Ex-Governor MokeheAd, of
Kentucky; ‘ This distinguished gentleman has
no.-more claim to their attention than the fact
of his having enjoyed the hospitality of the
Government at Fort Lafayette? subsequently
escaping to London. He is known; here as a
ponderous orator, a shallow, statesman, an
eminently respectable politician, once Gover
nor of Kentucky, arid the orimer of a plan
tation in Mississippi. This last fact is the
most material to our present purpose, for we
have now n ‘to speak of him as a reluctant
Secessionist and an infuriated traitor. On
arriving at Liverpool ho became at once
a lion, and delighted a little club of Se
cessionists, of which Mr; Jambs Spence is
chairman, with a fearful picture of his
wrongs. According to Mr. Morehead, there
is no Government on the face of the earth to
compare with ours in tyranny and oppression.
He was dragged from his house at midnight,
refused a hearing on a habeas corpus, placed
in a bed at Port Lafayette -several inches too
short for him, and compelled to drink water
s not quite as pure as his Kentucky springs, but,
nevertheless, the water which every soldier ia
the fort gladly accepted. This fearful state
pf affairs, bavicg been properly embellished
by Mr. is now being rolled like a
sweet morsel under the venomous tongue of
the English press. The London Times be
comes extravagantly rhetorical, and speaks
wildly of heathendom, and Dahomey, add the
cruelty to the Poles. Mr. Spence, of Liver
* pool, introduces General Butler as the first
villain of the play—the Togo, the Mcphisto
philes, the Richard, the Edgar, the Haynau,
the beast—as anything, indeed, that repre
sents mental deformity and moral monstrosity,
and compares New Orleans to Venice—“ this
forlorn Venice of the West.” “Is the name
of Lincoln,” sajs the Times, “ultimately to
be classed among that catalogue of monsters,
the wholesale assassins and butchers of their
kind?” “ Are scenes like those which we,
a short time since, described from Daho
mey, yet to interpose?” “Concurrent tes
timony seems to show that, to this worse
than Dahomey slaughter, are about to be added
the horrors of servile war.” We select
these sentences at random from an extensive
vocabulary of invective and sarcasm, the im
mediate cause of which is the strange story of
Mr. Morehead. It would-not he profitable to
dwell upon the romantic conceptions of this
ramty, let us quictiy_oxerlook his excitement
and perturbation, and give our English friends
a companion picture.
In the eastern part of Tennessee, among the
mountains that traverse the State, a hardy, in
dustrious, and faithful people live, as thev
have lived for generations. They have culti
vated farms, and are in all respects good and
honest citizens, true to the Union and the Con
stitution, and living in the midst of free insti
tutions. They have no sympathy with slavery,
and little with slaveholders. They are stran
gers to the great Secession conspiracy, he.
cause their leaders have been carefully ex
cluded from Secession counsels, as dan
gerous men. blow is struck at the
Union, and instantly an armed rebellion
extends throughout the land. They are'
asked to become partners to the general
guilt, but refuse. The love the Union, they
love the flag, they love the country of their
fathers. They cannot abandon honor, peace,
home, liberty, and law at the mere dictation
of an oligarchy of armed rebels, and they re
iterate their devotion to the nation. Then
comes a persecution such as the world
has never, witnessed. These men of
the South, professing to fight for their
own liberty, commence their campaign with
a war upon the liberty of . others.—
brutality which recalls Milton’s prayer for
vengeance upon the murderers of the “Lord’s
Slaughtered Saints.” Men were taken from
their homes, driven to the mountains,
and ; hanged upon trees by the roadside
until, their bodies were removed by cha-
ritable carion. Prisons were filled with
the best and purest of the community ;
women and children and helpless old men were
driven from their homes, the earnings of years
confiscated or given to the flames. . Mot only
In Tennessee, bnt in Virginia and Texas and
the Carolines, wherever the slightest evi
dence of a Union was manifested, with
banishment, imprisonment, and death. North
ern men were driven from the South, or
compelled to take up arms in obedience to a
ruthless conscription, and by a general edict
ot the President of the rebel Confederacy
every resident of eleven States of the Union
was compelled tq perjure himself by dishono
ring his oath of allegiance, or be punished as
the alien enemy of a military despotism. We
know how absolutely this punishment was in
flicted. .
We do not enter into discussion as to the
grievances of Mr. Mokeheadj or any other
traitor who has suffered the punishment his
deserved. If our English brothers
have tears to shed let them think of the
unimaginable crimes attending the inau
guration of this rebellion, and the suf
ferings of faithful Union men.. If.’a
sleek, well-fed, and pardoned traitor,
like Moubhead, who has not lost a dollar by
the rebellion, but on the contrary has been
most mercifully treated by. our indulgent Go
vernment, can excite so much sympathy from
these sensitive Sbxods, what a scene would
await the victims of rebel persecution, like
Bn.owxx.ow or Hamilton-, or an object of rebel
hate, like Cobcokan or Wit.cox ?
Italy and Garibaldi,
Tlie Italian question, to a satisfactory and
honorable solution of which Napoleon seems
to-have committed himself with inflexible de
termination, appears to be not a single step
nearer adjustment by virtue of the accession
of M. Dbodtk »e L’Hbys to the French Mi
nistry. The new minister has. triumphed
over a powerful rival; and has been re
stored to the confidence, which his faith
ful services in previous years entitled him
to, and to the post for which his ripe ex
perience fitted him. That is all the change
really means. Somebody has taken Tnou
venel’s place; the Imperial councils will
be more harmonious henceforth, perhaps ;
the European journals will print whole co
lumns about the change to be wrought in the
destinies of Italy by the reconstructed Cabi
net. But M. De L’Huys, in his first official
circular, informs the world that the Emperor’s
policy will remain the same as enunciated in
May last; in ether words, the rights of Italy are
to be maintained, and the interests of the Pa
pacy promoted. Unreasonable people may sug
gest that the two purposes are, in a Napoleonic
sense, irreconcilable, and the first mentioned,
if at all entertained, is really held subsidiary
to the latter. Italy, at least, seems to view the
matter thus unreasonably, and M. oe L’Huys’
pronunciamitnto has produced no more sensa
tion than if it wore so much blank paper.
Italy somehow clings to the notion that liberty
is more precious than choice rhetoric—more
to-be prized even than Imperial manifestos.
The English journals, which have espoused the
cause of the new Republic, are delighted with
the apathy with which the Italians have learned
that M. Thovvexkl has been deposed by a
Minister decidedly hostile to their cause. It
is regarded as a manifestation not of a sub
missive, but of a confident and self-reliant
spirit; and seme of the Turin correspondents
refer to it as an evidence that the «Italian
.difficulty’’ is as far from any settlement as
ever, Napoleon, if he were sincere in his
expressions of interest for the welfare of Italy,
could settle the whole trouble as easily as he has
fomented and abetted it. He. could withdraw
fhe troops from Rome, reinstate THOUVENELj
retain Fould and Pp.hsiony, and in other ways
give proof of hia desire to see the young Re
public spring up to be a giant among the
Powers of Europe. Ho does not do this, and
we must conclude that his protestations of sin
cerity aie a sham, and that hi's real designs
are too visionary ever to reach ascomplish
ment. /.'/ i '..1
Meanwhile, by the waters of the mournful
bay ofSpczziu, made memorable by Shelley's
mournful deatb, and now more memorable
-still, lies Gab in alb i on the couch of, suffering,
perhaps upon the bed of death. It has not
been many months since he was scoffed at as
the visionary, and his heroism derided as the
prompting of fanaticism. He is now wan and
wasted, and never more, perhaps, will mar
shalhis little band of followers, or load them
in the deadly struggle for their liberties; the
deadly struggle that other eyes, as visionary as
Gaiubaldi-'s, foresee must come when he,
perhaps, may no longer he a living witness.
He at whose call all Italy once rose to arms;
whose blazing sword pointed out the pathway
that was to lead the new Republic to bar
destined rank among the nations; whose
guidance was accepted as a promise of unity,,
prosperity, and peace; and .whose success-*
was wished for by the friends of human free
dom throughout the world—that noble
hearted leader is now wounded and a prisoner
at Vdrignano, with no present promise of re
lease but that of death. The career of this
extraordinary man, brief 'though it has been,
has been a sad commentary on the frailty of
human hopes, and a bitter experience for
one who deserved a better fortune. True,
Garibaldi was an enthusiast; not in the
cause of Italy alone, but in behalf of every
oppressed people. A short time before his
fall he published an appeal to the Hungarians,
in the Italian journals, in which such sen
tences as these occur : “ Woo to Hungary!—
woe to every oppressed people—if you obey fal
lacious and cowardly counsels, if you think any
other pact between you and Austria possible ex
cepthatred and war! Oh, brothers! do not miss
this propitious opportunity. The Servians are
fighting for liberty—for the emancipation of a
whole race which has been- oppressed and out
raged.” And again he said : “ Italy, who
loves you as brothers, whio: has promised to
repay you the price of blood which; your
brave sons have shed for her on many battle
field; Italy? 1 grateful, and who honors and
blesses the sacred memory of Tuckery, who died
fOr her, calls upon you to share her new battles
and her new victories over despotism;,she in
vokes you, in the name of the holy fraternity
of peoples, in the name of the welfare of all.”
This is the language of the hero who has been
steered at, even in his sufferings, as a vision
ary; anef. yet this language, too earnest not
to be sincere, is the utterance of one who, for
the freedom of his fellow-men, is himself
willing to endure the tortures of a prison and
the ignominy of captivity; of one who is
sustained through all his trials and sorrows by
the visions that his hopes have pictured to
him, of Italy some day restored to quiet and
security.
Which of the two is the vain visionary—
Napoleon in his council chamber, with his
ministers mapping out the destiny of Italy as
a dependency of France, to bo kept in sub
jection by French bayonets; or the pale, fe
verish Garibaldi, sustained in his greatest
troubles by the inborn conviction that his be
loved country—the shrine of Art, the land of
History and Romance—was destined to be inde
pendent of a foreign rule, and will one day rise
in majesty to work out that destiny. Napoleon
uuimaence is less upon statesmari
ship than upon an immutable principle of hu
man nature—the instinctive love of liberty
and country, which is born with man’s birth,
.grows with his growth, and is never so fully
warmed into boing as when liberty and coun
try are endangered, either speciously by di
plomacy, or openly by force of arms. We
trust to time more than to the good offices of
Napoleon to settle the Italian question, and
vindicate the character of Garibaldi.
LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL ”
. . . Washington, Nov. 11, 1862.
The forthcoming December number of the
“ Continental Monthly which will probably
appear early next week, will contain two pa
pers from Hon. It. J. Walker, entitled, re
spectively, “ The Union ” and “ Gold.” The
first goes statistically and philosophically to
show the effect of slavery upon our national
progress in wealth, population, science, litera
ture, education, religion, and intellectual de
velopment. It compares the slaveholding with
the non-slaveholding States, and shows the'
wonderful superiority of the latter in all these
great elements. It then proceeds to illustrate
this position by thb history of individual States,
and compares the progress, since 7 700
Massachusetts, Carolina,
redevelops ancf establishes . these astounding
facts from the last census, that Massachusetts,
with free labor and free schools, produces
, three hundred dollars per capita; Maryland,
ninety-one dollars per capita ; and South Oa
rolitia fifty-six! To this Mi-. Walker adds a
■table,-in reference to the progress of the sa
vage Indian tribes, showing their products to
bo fourteen dollars and sixty cent 3 per ca
pita- Thus it appears that Massachusetts,
with free labor and free schools, produces per
capita three times as much as Maryland,- and
five times as much as South Carolina; and
lhat Maryland, with few slaves, produces near
ly twice as much as South Carolina, with
many. But the most astounding disclosure
Is the fact that Massachusetts, in this respect,
is further in advance of South Carolina than
the latter is in advance of the savages. Mr.
Walker makes, on this basis, three divisions
in the progress of civilization : First. Massa
chusetts, the most highly civilized community
in this country and in the whole world. Se
cond. South Carolina, ; and
third. The barbarous savage tribes. I have
only room to give one further item which will
be interesting to the newspaper press, viz:
that the annual circulation of newspapers and
periodicals in Massachusetts is one hundred
and two millions , Maryland twenty millions,
and South Carolina three millions! So
much for the State that proposes to in
struct our own country and other nations in
the great problem of Government. Mr.
Walker shows by his tablos that if each State
and Territory of the Union produced as much,
every year, per capita , as Massachusetts, our
whole annual products would exceed nine
Mllions of dollars! Mr. Walker’s article on
Gold” discusses that subject, including
the mineral public lands, with a view to re
venues. He recommends the subdivision of
these lands into one-acre tracts, their ex
amination and appraisement, and sales by
bids communicated to the Interior Depart
ment, not below the minimum appraisement.
This system, he thinks, would bring at least
five hundred millions of dollars, in the course
of time, into the treasury of the-United
States. The subdivision into tracts of one acre
each, he would confine to lands producing
gold and and the other mineral lands
into forty-acre tracts, as now authorized jby
law. This system Mr. Walker recommends
as regards our unoccupied mineral lands.
As to those worked Jby the present miners,
the' pioneers who, ‘at great sacrifices of
life and money, have explored these regions
and developed the mines, under the acqui
escence of the Government and an implied
pledge of protection, ho. advises that the
miners’ code and surveys should be adopted
and confirmed by the Government, and that a
full title in fee simple should be issued to
these pioneer miners at the cost of survey and
incidental expenses. This he estimates would
prove alike advantageous to the Government
and the miners, enabling many’who now have
no title, by receiving a perfect right, to secure
the capital indispensable to the.MLdevelop
ment arid successful working of thlHmiines. I
have made this resume from advance proof
sheets of these two fine papers as the best
matter I could send you to-day. The views
of Governor 5 Walker are entitled to the care
ful consideration of the Government.

C( medy. ‘- The Babes in the Woods,” by Tom Taylor,
is one of the prettiest little play s we have seen fop many a
day, while “ Industry and Idleness,” by Sterling Coyne;
may be regarded es one of the moat stupid and silly per
formancra upon the stage.: It would be hard to conceive
anything more wretched. It possesses neither wit, pa
tfcos, poetry, nor originality. There is not a single well
drawn character in the play—not a single sentiment that
a sensible spectator would oare to remember - We are
surpiited that even the great genius and popularity of
Mr. Clarke has been enabled to keep it alive for three
nights, and we are very much surprised that a manager,
of Mrs Drew’s tsste and experience should permit such
amedley of trash and nonsensp to be performed.

Gen. McClellan’* Farewell to the Army.
Major General McClellan and his personal staff left
Warrenton at 11 o’clock to-day. On reaching Warren
ton Junction a salute wes fired. The troops, which had
been drawn up in line, afterwards broke ranks, when
the soldiers crowded around him and many eagerly called
for a few parting words. He said, In response, while on
the platform of the railroad car: “Iwishyou to stand
by Gen. Bdknsibe as you have stood by me, and all will
be well. Goodnje”
To this there was a spontaneous and enthusiastic re
sponse.
The troops were also drawn up in line at Bristow and
Manassas Junction, where salutes were fired, and where
Gen. McClellan was complimented with enthusiastic
■cheers.
The party arrived here this af.ernoon, just in time to
take the five o’clock train of oars for Baltimore.
Tko cars being detained owing to some impediment on
the track; Gen. McClell an recognized the many sol
diers quartered in that vicinity, when he was greeted
with oft-repeated cheers.

you I cannot express tho love and gratitude I bear to
you. As an army you have grown np under my care.:
In yen I have never found doubt or coldness.,
The battles you have fought under my command will
proudly litre in our national history. The glory yon
have aohieved, our mutual peril and fatigue, the graves
of our comrades fallen in battle and by disease, the
broken forms of those whom wounds and sickness have
disabled, are the strongest assertions which can exist

Corpus Ohrieti, and Sabine City, and adjacent waters are
now in our.poßseesion, he Bays: A short time ago, I sent
down the coast of Texas Aoting Volunteer Lieutenant
Kittuidgb, with the bark Arthur, the little steamer
Sachem, and a launch, with which force he said he could
take Corpus Christ!, and the wsterß adjacent, in which we
heard of Sri many small craft running the blockade to and
from Havana. He sucoeedod very wall; took the places,
made several captures, and compelled the enemy to barn
several of their vessels; but on one occasion, venturing
on Shore with Ms small boat, he was surrounded, taken
prisoner, and carried to Houston, where they paroled him
on condition that he should go North, and not serve
until regularly exchanged. 5

I next sent Com. Piershaw, with the gunboats
Owaaoo, Harriet Lane, CUlton, and Westfield, to take
Galveston, which he did in the shortest time, and with

The baik Restless, a failing craft of our navy, has
made no less tl an seventeen captures of prizes (Eng

commanded by Lieut. Edward Conroy.
Amongherrecentcapfcnreß are tho British steamers
Beotia and Anglia, which were caught while attempting
to breßk the blockade of Charleston. The following
letter from Lientonant Conroy, giving an account of the
captnre of these steamers, has been handed us for publi
catien:
“On Friday morning last, at daylight, a steamer
was discovered trying to get into this—Bull's Bay—
channel. I got the ship under way, and Bent two
armed boats, and with the bark cut her off The
captain of the steamer finding himself intercepted,
preferred running his vessel .on shore to being
sunk by my guns. We captured her at seven
o'clock in the morning. She proved to be the famous
steamship Scotia, which has run the blockade many
timcß. We had very hard work getting her off. We
were obliged to throw overboard almost all her ooala and
everything heavy, even her machinery that could be
spared. On Sunday morning she was sufficiently light
ened to be token off the coast. She was Immediately sent,
with an officer and prize crew, to Port Boyal.
“Oh my return bn Sunday to my ship on board the
steamer: Flag (the Restless had been lying eff the
bay,. where the Scotia was captured) I found that
another steamer had run in on the day we had
left, and that Bhe also was in a trap. I manned
two boats from my own vessel (the Restless) and
two from the Flag, and in command of the first
division of the beats we went in and “out! her
out” also. At 6.30 P. M. we captured her. Steam
was up, and she was ready to Btsrt for Charleston
as soon as thenight came on. Wo broughther one, and
anchored her under the guns of the Besttess and the
Flag. Bhe proved to be the English steamer Anglia,
with a very valuable cargo. This, with the oargo of the
Scotia, will be worth half a million of dollars. Both
steamers are very fine vessels.
« The cargoes consist of Sharp’s rifles, powder, teas,
coffees, brandy, hoots and shoes, linen goods, and drugs.
“ I am much elated at my success in depriving tho
rebelsof snppliea whioh were so important to them, and
this thought gives me much greater satisfaction than any
pecuiiary interest I may have in the captured vessels

their’Appreciation of foe military abilities of foeir'fdr

larly heralded by a shout and a cheer for McClellan,
while the occnpants of the cars were repeatedly cross
examined hy anxious inquirers as to the whereabouts of

Preparations were made to receive General McClellan
yesterday afternoon, as It was confidently believed he
would arriv'e.in the city by the train due from Washing
ton at half past five o’clock. Bands of music were in
attendance at the depot; the recruiting sergeants for the
regimenhto the; field were drawn up In line under com
mand of Sergt. Fox, of Bush’s Bancors; the people as
sembled in largo numbers, and their welcoming outbursts
of applause raDg through the building as the cars en
tered the depot. In a few momenta, however, it was as
certained that General McClellan was not on the train,
though rumor said he would arrive at 11 o’clock P. M.
Thebandsihenretired and the crowd slowly dispersed.
Before proceeding to the depot the recruiting ser
geants, having with them Birgfield’s band, serenaded
Dr. McClellan, a brother of the General, at his residence
in Walnut street, and also General Patterson, at Thir
teenth and Itooust streets.
Boon after this a despatch was received from Balti
more stating that General McClellan haa just left that
city, and would be in Philadelphia about midnight. As
it was generally expected that he would stopover night
at the Continental Hotel, a large crowd collected at that
place, and cheer alter cheer rent the air. When the
Washington train came in,.lt was thought that the
General had taken a private conveyance to the Conti
nental, and, upon the arrival of 'the hotel coach with the
Waih'iDgton passengers, lond cries were made for Mc-
Clellan Finally en announcement was made from the
balcony that the General had not arrived, upon which
the disappointed crowd returned to their homes.
SCENES AT THU DEPOT.. . ■
The recruiting sergeants, preceded by their band, ar
rived at the Baltimore depot abont ten o’clock, where a
iarge crowd of citizens was also in waiting. The door of
the depot was guarded by policemen, and none were al
lowed to enter except passengers bound for Washington.
The crowd outside iv idled away time by .alternate cheers
for McClellan and the Army of the Potomac. Birgfeld’s
band was stationed on Prime street, above the depot,
and played a continuous strain, of patriotic airs, which
kept up :he enthusiasm to fever heat. About il o’clock
■ the band csrne inside the depot, end played the « Bsd,
White, and Blue” amid great cheering. A whistle from
the' locomotive was heard in the distance, and a cry of
“ here he comes” r ang through the building The tops of
th'^ freight cars and the passenger cars were thick with
boysand men. The train £id come,but it brought disap
pointment, for McClellan was not a passenger . Yet there
was little disposition shown on the part of the crowd to
leave. They againsnmsid themaolvos with sieging and
cheering- Dr. McClellan was, during the wholeof the even
• ing inside the ticket office, and was not recognized until
he merged with iho conductor, when he proceeded
outside ilie depot, to await the coming of the
train. The knowing ones observed *. this ‘movement,
and large numbers followed. About twenty minutes af.
ter 11 the first whistle of the approaching; train was
heard, the loccmalive came rnßhing along, leaving the
cars to be flanked into the depot. Instantly the crowd
ontside rushed toward; the building, but they had
no sooner got . inside than the train in which
General McOleiian was reached Broad'street. Th.o baud
then struck np “ Hail to the Chief,” and a scene of
enthusiasm followed which was of the most intense cha
racter. !,Obeer after cheer went up, first for Mo Jlellau
and then 'for the Army of the Potomac. These were
r|peated time after time. In response to loud calls for
“‘speech!” “Speech the General appeared upon the

1 here few words were received with intense enthusi
asm. The train then moved off and the General task
his seat in the oar, a Dumber of persons officiating as po
licemen, in order to prevent too great a ruih upon the
platform. Several of the windows of the oar were utterly
smashed, and one or two which were open were made use
of to gain an entrance, which operation was accom
plished in several instances.
SCENES/ALONG PRIME STREET.
1 The train moved down Prime atreet at a brisk rate,
the crowd following from the depot, keeping up an uni
versal clatter of feet on the sidewalks, while their cheers
redoubled in number and volnme. The train* moved
quicker, and so did the people. Those of them who
could secure a foothold on the steps of the car
platforms maintained their slight tenure, with despe
rate tenacity. Occasionally somo unlucky wight would
slip from: his perch, souse into the slush of the-street,
while the more , fortunate chuckled over their
sudden downfall. Once the speed of the cara
slacked, when an impetuous rush was made by
the unflagging concourse rapidly approaching in the
rear. A medley of cheers and cries arose around the
carwbioh contained the General, but the train again re
suming its increased speed, the enthusiasts found it ne
cessary, in order to get along quicker, to save their
wind by keeping their months Bhnt.
The train at last baited in front of the Refreshment
Saloons, when, in answer to repeated cries for McClellan,
tbe General appeared at fine of the oar windows,
and, leaning ont, extended his right hand to the
crowd. It ws3 immediately grasped by the hands
of at least a dozen persons. The rush for a <• shake’
would have formed a fine Beene for the pencil of the ar
tist. In grateful return for the compliment of his prof
fered friendship, tho mechanic, the laborer—the‘rich
and the poor—all alike joyfully accepted the
token of fellowship la the great cause of Right
and Justice. The grasp of the General was
warm and earnest, not a delicate pressure, but a real
heartfelt squeeze. The boat having been reached, Gen.
McClellan alighted from tho car and walked, or rather
was carried on the shoulders of the people, on board. A
parting cheer proclaimed his departure. It was two
o’clock, this morning when tho General left the wharf.
Interesting News by the Paw
nee.—The sloop of-war Pawnee, whioh arrived off the
navy yard on Monday, brought a few scraps of news in
the shape of incidental observations during her cruise In
the direction ot the Florida coast. She left Port Royal
on the 3d for Philadelphia. During the greater portion
of the voyage she experienced squally weather, espe
cially. when nearing the capes of the Delaware. The
performance of her machinery, and the general capabi
lities of the boat, are described as very creditable. When
leaving Fort Royal the steam frigate Powhatan ar
rived from Charleston harbor, for the purpose of
taking in coal. In the vicinity—within a range of
fifty miles—the Pawnee spoke the following vessels 6f
war: Wabash, Sabagq, Marble Head, Vermont, Pow
hatan, and Water Witch. A majority of these vessels
were on blockade duty off Oharleefen harbor. Prepara
tions for a combined attack upon Charleston and Savan
nah were being gradually matured, the crews of the
Powhatan and other vessels being occasionally employed
In taking soundings along the coast: The weather off
the coast of South Carolina Is at present of that nn
healthy nature so productive cf fevers. The death of
General Mitchell is deeply regretted by the officers and
men of the entire military and naval forces about Port
Royal. His funeral was the occasion of a heartfelt de
monstration in testimony of his many virtues as amsn
BEdbis decided ability as a commander.
Among other incidents of recent occurrence,* it is
stated : that,' a boat’s crew from one of the U. S. vessels
blockading Charleston came very near being captured
by tbo rebels. Tho men; numbering twenty-four, were
in the harbor taking soundings, as usual, and getting
further in than . ptudenee would warrant, a Secesh
steamer suddenly matte her appearance, steaming di
rectly for the boat, the occupants of which*, perceiving
their danger, immediately plied their oars with the
utmost vigor. After an exciting chase of a couple of
miles, the venturesome littio band reached their ship in
safety. ' ' 0 . y
At foe time of tho capture of Fernandina, Fla, foe
Pawnee was the flagship of the squadron making the
attack, after which ehe guarded the place for three
months from incursions by the <‘rebs.” From thence
she wasordered up Stono Inlet, towards Charleston, and
when the U. S. forces retreated from James Island she
assisted to cover foe retreat.
The armament of the ship consists of eight nine inch

-' The Confidence Game- Swindling
ON AN EXTENSIVE SCALE —A. M. Densmore and
J. H. Stover were before Alderman McOahea yesterday
afternoon on the charge of conspiracy, and attempt to de
fraud. The complainant was Wm. Bowers, of Blading.
On foe 141 U of October, Mr. Sowers’ ej e lit upon the
following advertisement in one of the city dailies, and no
doubt his mind at once was filled with visions of future
fortunes:
@5OO .WANTED—This sum or more in an extremely
profitable cash badness ; it would return $26 par week'
for services, and the capital well seonred. Inquire of A.
M. Denemore, ]S2jf South Third street.
Mr. Bowers presented himself at Mr. Denßmore’s office,
and inquired foe nature of the business in which he wag
ILwai replied that the business was
ticai stock and insurance coccerrx; v ~H‘n WS7
.leave @2OO before he could be allowed to know the se
crets of tho “Institution.” It appears that a favorable
impression was conveyed :to Bowers’ mind, and ho
.willingly gave foe S2OO. In a day or two ho de
sired the information, and insisted on having It. Mr-
Dtnsmore replied that ho would be. obliged to
consult Mr. -gtever, his partner. The roault of
foe consnltation was that Mr. Bowers was aot to bo
allowed to be posted as to foe 1 werkings of the concern
wifoont an extra coneideration. Bowers then forked
over another SflOO, and the next day S2oo—making foe
@5OO, as required in the advertisement. Last Saturday
Mr. Bowers insisted on having a statement, and asked
for his share of tho profits. He received a cheek for
@2O, and @lO in cash. On presenting the check at bank
he was told there was no money with which te honor it.
Bowers sudderly became alive to: the fact that he had
been duped, and he conseqnentiy applied for relief to
, Alderman McOahen; who, after a patient hearing of foe
testimony, committed both the defendants to answer.
v A Suit fob Advances to Seamen.
A case was tried in the District Court yesterday which
raises a question of some importance. A ahipping firm
in this city, Mossrs. Maguire & Shaw, brought suit
against Alien HcOawley, captain of foe British bark
Lehman, to recover too saw of 8410, being foe amount
of advance money to a-crew shipped by them for the
vessel, and the cost of transportation of the men from
New York to this city. The contraqt was made in
January last, when iho vessel was about to sail for Liver
pool, and foe advance paid to each man was $35. The
defence set up was of a two fold character: Ist, that by
the plaintifi's’ own showingfit appeared that foe contract
wea made with foe owners of tho bark, and not with the
captain, and that, therefore, they were foe parties liable!
and secondly, that foe contract was for able-bodied sea
• men, whereas the men shipped were mostly entirely un
acquainted with their dnties, were brousht on to the ves
sel in an intoxicated state, totally unfit for doty, and
before the vessel had got to foe navy yarl, the captain
was obliged to put back on account of their refusal and
inability to perform their duties. On reaching the
wharf it was found necessary to discharge them and ship
an entirely new crew. A point was raised here, that
until the vessel left foe port foe shipping masters were
entirely responsible for foe conduct of the seamen, and
that if they failed to perform their duties, it was their
province to compel them to fulfil their contract or else
provide a new crew. The cate was given to the jury at
a late hour, with permission to seal their verdict. Van
dyke for foe plaintiffs; J. E. Gowen for defendants,
The Berry Homicide CASE—AC
QUITTAL OFFERTEB.— Andrew Porter, the last of
the parties implicated in the murder of Bichard M.
Berry, at Eggiesfleld, on the 29th of May last, was put
on trial yesterday, in the Court of Oyer and Terminsr,
before Judged Thompson , and Allison. The circum
stances of the murder were of the most brutal character,
and Mr. Mans,* the district attorney, has .been indefati
gable in his Efforts to bring the parties implicated to jus
tice. Both the Foropanghe were convicted or murder in
the second degree.- Lawrence and Jeffries were convict
ed of riot. Tinsman, another of the parties, was put on
trial Monday, a? our report stated, and was also couviot
ed of murder.in the second degree. The .only remaining
one who was in the slightest degree implicated in the
affair, was Fetter, and bis case was disposed of yester
day. The district attorney, assisted by Blchard Lud
low, Eat., pressed tlio case in the strongest manner to
the jury. Daniel Dougherty, Esq, very ably seconded
by Edward H. Weil, Eeq, conducted the case for the
prisoner. The cake was given to the jury under a very
impartial charge from the court, shortly after seven
o’c lock last evening, and after an absence of but a few
minutes, the jury returned a verdict cf not guiiiy. Mrs,
Eerier, the wife of the prisoner, fainted in the esurt
room, on tbe rendition of the verdict, All the other de
fendants have been convicted. Fertor la the only ouo
who has been fortunate enough to escape from a verdict
of guilty.
Important Abbest.— Chief Detec.
Hve Franklin, Deputy XT, 8. Marshal Jenkins, and Ser
geant Tjron, arrived from New Yoik last evening, hav
ing in their possession a number of bank-note plates,
ustd by a notorious counterfeiter, named George White,
formerly of this city. White resided at one time in the
neighborhood of Twelfth and Brown streets, and has
long been watched by the officers, beiog known to be
engaged in the counterfeiting business.' He, a short time
since, removed with his family to Now York, where he
was followed by the officials named. It seems that
White has, for some. time,, carried on two counter
feiting establishments in New York, 'a fact which'
does not. reflect groat credit on the police of that
city. The officers, after reaching New York, hunted up
White, took him into custody, and seized all his plates,
which were for the making of notes on the banks of four
different States. The prisoner is abont fifty years of
age, and one of the most expert counterfeiters that ever
lived. He, some years since, counterfeited SlOO notes
on the Philadelphia Bank, which were so finely ‘executed
that, at first, they deceived the,officers of the bank. He
also counterfeited notes on various other Philadelphia
banbß,’and has always been looked upon as a dangerous
character. Strange to say; he never yet haa been con
victed in any court for these acts. The present charges
against him wifi imprison him for the remainder of his
li’e. v..; ...

FINANCIAL
THE MONEY MARKET.
Philadelphia, tfov, 11,
Bnefneee on the street was rather quiet to-day, Qald
was steady at 132 until near the close, when it fell one
per cent., and closed on a weak market at 131 hid. Old
demands fell to 125#, and so continued, with but mode
rate transactions. Government securities still remain
weak. There has been a toil in the subscription to the
five-twenty sixes during the last day or two, which Is to
be exceedingly regretted. A. loan bearing sax per cent,
interest, payable in gold, making It at present nearly
equal to an eight per cent, security, and which, besides,
s one of the main stays of ths financial credit of our
great nationality, and on which the future suseesa of onr
cause so mush depends, is daily neglected, while bonds
bearing only six per cent, interest, on which there is a
Government tax of three percent., are eagerly bought at
prices ranging from 3 to 10 per cent, above par. Com
mon sagacity ought to point out to a man the fitness of
the five, twenty loan, if merely an investment la desired;
and when it comes to the question of the security of the
investment, a simple look into the following facts ought
to convince any one, however timid, of the pre-eminence
of the five-twenties. Ist. These bonds are first mort
gages on tTie first mortgage bonds of any and every
corporation of any Statej now under the Fe
deral control. 2d. It is estimated that the enor
mous stamp revenue will reach an amount] double
that of the interest on the whole debtor the United
States, this secures the simple payment of the interest
3d. The exhaustion of the old demand-notes as a custoi
bouse medium will Boon require the payment in gold of
import dutiesi which will far exceed the amount required;
the Government thereby is safe In her promises of paying
gold on these bonds, 4th. In the event of the war ceasing
within a year a limit will be placed upon Government
issnes, and they cannot fail lo reach a figure equal to the
highest market price of any security on the list of the
three cities. To the business man and to the patriot
these bonds commend themselves with equal address, and
it is to be hoped that the removal of au able, hut some
what mysterious army officer, will no longer cause a de
linquency in the bosoms of true Americans. Tbs Go
vernment agent in this city, Mr, Jay Cooke, No. 114
South Third street, is prepared to receive subscriptions
to any amount, interest to commence from date of sub-
scription.
'*• The stock market was much more active and prices
show a firmer feeling, with the exception of Govern
ments, which are Btrangely weak, the seven-thirtios
falling off %, the sixes %. City sixes, new, were
firm at 106%, the old at 103. tong Island sixes were
steady at par; Lehigh Yalloy blxcs at 103. State
fives were firm at 96, the coupons at 93%. Tioga Bail
road sevens and Chesapeake and Delaware Canal sixes
were without change. Delaware Baiiroad mortgage
bonds sold at par. Schuylkill Navigation common stock
was steady at 5, the preferred at 11%. Delaware Divi
sion Canal brought 29; Lehigh Navigation 53. Bead
ing Baiiroad shares opened at 38%, closing % lower,
theiatier was, however, an advance of % on yesterday's
figure'.- Little Schuylkill waßfirm at 8b an advance of
Por Elmira 18% was paid-same figure bid for more
—an advance of %. Pennsylvania Baiiroad ranged be
tween 55% and 55%, closing at the former. HinehiU
sold at 48% ; Long Island at 22%; Camden and Amboy
at 152; Norrietown at 53% ; Beaver Meadow at 57%;
Catawisea preferred at 14%. The oniy important change
in passenger railways was in Green and Coates, which
