THE WAR.
The announcement that General Grant and his
army of war-worn veterans are now advancing
"will be hailed with infinite joy throughput the.loyal
North, and wiih a corresponding feeling of alarm in
the rebel States. The telegraph informed us several
da, a ago that he had oeoupied Lagrange, on the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad, but significantly re
marked that other movements were then in progress
Which it would at that time be impoliticto divulge.
But the telegraph this morning discloses part of the
plot, and it, together with the map, gives us a clear
insight into the remainder. It states that our
pickets were then within a few miles of Holly
Springs, and that a number of rebel cavalry had
been dispersed and captured. It is probable that
the large rebel force that bad been concentrating
there since the Corinth battle, under the command
of Generals Pemberton, Price, and Van Dorn, have
retreated to Granada, a strong strategical point at
the junction of he Mississippi Central and Missis
sippi and Tennessee Railroads. This piaco is said
to be strongly fortified, and it is not. probable that
it will be surrendered without a battle. To attack
this place successfully two columns will mareh on
It, the one -by the Holly Springs road, commanded
by General Grant, and the other by way of Mem
phis. .These two columns can easily form a-
junction a few miles north or the town, and"
* make a concerted attack. It is probable that
the rebels will make an attack with the hope of
checking cur advance, at Oxford on the Holly-
Springs road, and at Panola, on the Memphis road.
With the fall of Grenada—for wo taka it for
granted it must fall when attacked by our brave
Western boys—the road to Jackson and Vicksburg
will be open. A stand will no doubt be made at
the former place, but it will bare to follow .the fata
of its predecessor. With the fall of Jackson comes
the abandonment of that great goal our
soldiers in the West are at present aim
ing for—Vicksburg—unlesa indeed ' its defen
ders wish to be captured. Thus it will be
seen what the army of Tentesse is striving to ao
oomplish. But they will not be expected to per
form all the work themselves. Admiral Porter has
been preparing his gunboat fleet tor active service,
and when General Grant, with his army, has in
vested the city we may expect to hear the gallant
Porter’s fleet knocking at its door for admittance.
With Vicksburg in our possession, the Mississippi
is again free to those who fought for it, and to all
coming genera ions. The campaign in the West is,
therefore, becoming interesting, and wo hope will
be fruitful of victory.
The Newspaper Press.
We notice that some of our contemporaries
in tho New England States, New York, and
other-paits of the country, have raised the
price of their circulation as well as their
advertising rates. This action on their
part has been rendered necessary by the
sudden, and- enormous- increase in the
price of paper, the taxation, the increase
in labor, and the. diminution in the
sources of supply. Paper is the material
item in the composition of a newspaper, an'd,
in the business of journals oflarge circulation
like The Pkess, it is necessary to make pro
vision a long way ahead, and to be prepared
to anticipate any contingencies that may
arise. There are two qualities ot paper in gene
ral'use among the. newspapers-—that nude of
rags and that made of straw and bleached.
The former is of\a clear surface, pure, white,
and prints a soft and bright impression. The
sheet on which this article is printed is a
specimen of rag paper, the principal ingre
dient being cotton and the pulp and refuse of
cotton stuffs. The straw paper is a cheaper
fabric, rough, brown, and brittle, discoloring
with age and use, and often, breaking into flaky
fragments. This is becoming more generally
used, as it is a cheaper fabric. But the price
Of bleaching has risen so highly, that straw
paper is beginning to feel the effects of the
coming crisis, and, in addition to the di
minished supply and increased demand, we
have the probability of a still greater ad
vance. Printing inks are also advanc
ing, partly because many of the ingredients
composing ink have doubled and trebled in
price. The effect of this is to cause the
adulteration of inks, the printing of a pale
sheet, and the production of an unsatisfactory
newspaper. Summing up the results of the
great advance in raw material, we need only
say that, the, copy of The Press, which the
reader holds in his hand this morning costs us
more than fifty per cent, of tho value of a
similar copy of the same newspaper two
months ago. •
We mention these matters without making
any aliuslon to tho taxation that has gone into
effect, and which must soon be felt by every
journal in the land. Something must soon be
done to meet this serious change in the busi
ness arrangement of tbo newspaper press; It
is right that the people should know these
■things. At the same time, we are happy to
assure our readers that we are prepared to
meet any difficulty that may he forced upon
us, and that, notwithstanding the many embar
rassments that come upon us, in common with
all our cotemporaries, we are still blessed, with
a continuance of cur great success, and in a
flourishing and prosperous condition.

Thp Tns-senger Railroad Tyranny.
The Board of Presidents of the City Pas
senger liailways have adopted a resolution to
the effect, that on and after the first of De
cember the charge for siDgle fares over all of
our passenger railways shall be six cents, and
for exchange pickets eight cents. This is a
large advance upon what is now paid, and as
it is a matter interesting every citizen
of the community, we very naturally
ask the Board for the reasons prompting
this change. These reasons are given to us
in the preamble to the resolution as published
in the daily newspapers. That preamble tells
us that, in consequence of the greatly in-
creased cost of all articles that are required
for the operation of tho railways, and the im
position of the national tax upon their gross
receipts, ilie present rate of fare is inadequate
to meet the expenses, and leave a margin from
which to remunerate stockholders for their in
vestments. With all disposition to bo respectful
to the Board, we must say that we do not be
lieve the statements thus published. Wo are
more inclined to believe that these men are
animated by a' grasping, ravenous, insatiable
desire to make themselves rich at the expense
of the community, and to take advantage of
their monopoly to extort larger revenues
from the people. "
It is well known that no investment is more
profitable than that of a city passenger rail
way. We all remember the mania which
seized moneyed men and speculators a few
years ago, when street cars were introduced;
Our legislative hails at Harrisburg became
dens of thieves and money-changers j fabu
lous sums of money were spent to control
public opinion and buy the suffrages of
easy Representatives. The scenes attending
the subscription for stock to new roads made
necessary the intervention of the police, and
often terminated in scandalous breaches of the
peace. The people patronized the new roads
because they were easy, comfortable, and con
venient, and in all respects a great improve
ment ; upon the lumbering stages of former
days. This patronage soon became ah end
less source of profit. Nothing in the history
of corporate enterprise has proved so success
ful, and no better evidence of that success can
be needed than a few quotations from the
stock market. The stock of every company
sells at an enormous advance. The Second
and Third-street road, costing but $2O a share,
now readily brings $75. a share—an advance
of three hundred and twenty-five per cent, on
what does not represent a full share, but
merely the first instalment. The Chestnut
and Walnut-street cost $lO per share paid in,
and sells at $5O, an advance of four hundred
per cent, on the first instalment. The Tenth
and Eleventh-street Road cost but $2O per
share and now sells at. $B-5, an advance of
seventy-five per cent. Every road com
mands a large advance, and so profitable have
they become that not one has found it ne
cessary to ask for the payment of the full sub
scription, so that the directors are actually
asking the public to pay them large dividends
upon the selling price of their stock regard
less of the small amount the stockholders in
vested. We are asked to pay not only a large
.dividend upon the original capital invested, but
upon the profits of that capital.
Now, wo submit that this is shameless
and criminal extortion. The members of
the Board complain of the “greatly increased
cost of all articles that are required for the
operation of the City Passenger Railways.’ 3
To show the injustice of this complaint, let us
look at other cities. In New York the pas
senger can ride from the Astor House to the
vicinity of Central Park for five cents,
and this is a longer distance than that of most,
if not all, of our roads. Eight cents will take
a passenger to Harlem, a distance of seven or
eight miles. In Baltimore the cars run to
Druid Bill Park, ogjk a distance of from two
to three miles, ana charge five cents. Iu
the cars run from the navy
yard to Georgetown, a distance of four,
and.it may be five miles, and only charge
five cents. None of these roads have raised
their fare, and they are all as expensive as any
road in Philadelphia. Nay, more': judgiug by
the. relative cost of labor, and material, arid
provisions in those cities, as compared with
Philadelphia, we have no doubt that our city
roads are twenty per cent, cheaper. We are
fair in presuming that the average journey
of every passenger in a city car is a mile. It
has been calculated that these journeys do
not average more than .half a mile, Taking
the larger estimate, we may say that the price
of travel on a. passenger-car is five cents a ;
mile. And yet there is not a single railroad
that leaves Philadelphia for the North, West,
or South, that charges more than three, -or at
best three and a half cents a mile for fare; and
with that rate these roads sustain rolling stock:
and locomotives, and long tracks and bridges,
and tunnels and way-stations, and a multitude
of employees, incurring liabilities that are never
met in the city, and suffering from the. varia
tions of transient travel. Steam roads ate
content with their rate of fare; they make
money and are satisfied. This is not the case
with our passenger railways.
We trust that the people will not submit to
the contemplated wrong of these railway di
rectors. We are all interested in putting an end
to such a monopoly—the poor man more in
tensely than the richTnan. The weary laborer;
the busy housewife on her way to the morning
market; the clerk and artisan with the city
counting-room and workshop,and the suburban
cottage, are all interested in this change and
they will feel its injustice sorely. It is a blow at
the best interests of Philadelphia. When local
expensive, the outside and;
growing wards of the city will no longer at
tract the busy working-man who longs for fresh
air and a rural home. Property will depre
ciate in value, and the unwholesome and
crowded interior wards will be peopled
by pale and unhealthy workmen, whose
fresh air, as well as the evening and
morning ride, has been taken from him
by a heartless, grasping, and avari
cious corporation. We sincerely trust that
measures will be taken to crush this pro
ceeding at once ; that the City Solicitor will
endeavor to stay it by procuring an injunction.
Failing in that, let the people meet and. act
through their Representatives at Harrisburg.
The power that made these extortioners can
unmake them, and it . may be necessary to in
voke it at an early day. - . i
LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.’
Washington, Nov. 12, 1862,
The statement that General Burnside is only;
temporarily in command of the Army of the
Potomac, or that he succeeds General Mc-
Clellan on account of his rank in the service,
is wholly unfounded. He assumes that import
ant position by assignment of the President,
and it is under the same direction that Gen, ,
Hooker succeeds Pifz John Porter. Sen.
Burnside goes to the head of the army under
extraordinary advantages, and it is not doubt
ed that he will realize the general expectation.
He is a modest and an unpretending officer,
and his career has shown great forbearance
and success under difficulties, and that which .
is so characteristic of the rebel chiefs, des
peration and dash.- He is not a talker, nor a
sensationist —and is identified alike with the
regulars and the volunteers. He lias, there
fore, been taught the great double les
son of observing the severity of the old
school, and of respecting the peculiarities
and newness of the troops taken from the
ranks of the people. One of the advantages
of Burnside is his close companionship and
fast friendship to McClellan, shown on so
many occasions, a fact which ought to satisfy
all the friends of the latter that, in his retire
ment, no intention is manifest to do him in-.
justice, only the inevitable necessities of the
case may be so construed. General Burnside
has seen, in the retirement of -his friend,
what the nation needs, and he will, of
course, accept the trust in this stem and
I inexorable sense. The people and the
| politicians, the soldiers and the statesmen,
the merchant and the mechanic—the waiting
mother, and father, and sister, all look for
ward to action, to victory, to a speedy close
of the war, and to a complete restoration of
the Union. There are many garlands ready
wreathed to be hung on the brow of him who
shall accomplish these things; but, with the
recent past fresh before us, let ns forbear
praise before it is duly earned, and reserve
our garlands until they have been fairly won.
The Republic wants success;. and this. must
| be had if the hero who is to achieve it is still
carrying his musket in the ranks of the army
ef the United States. And may the good God
decree that Ambrose Everett Bnrnsido is to bo
onr Saviour and our Deliverer I

were despatched to set fire to her, which was effectively
performed.- During the affair the boats of the Daylight
got ashore, and the Mount Vernon despatched boats to

Trbktok, N. J., Nov. 12 —General McClellan arrived
in ibis city at four o’clock this morning, with a portion of
his staff, and immediately proceeded. to the State-,street
Eouße. There was no excitement.
The lateness of the hour prevented a demonstration on
the part of the citizens cf Trenton,, who thronged the
railroad depot during the day, anxiously awaiting his ar
rival.

An Imp'hrtant Capture—A Rebel Bearer
of: Despatches Taken Prisoner,
Baltimore, November 12 —The United States gun
boat Hercules, Captain Gungan, arrived here this morn
ing frem a cruise along the border of Virginia, On the
morning of the 3d inst., before daylight, Liout. Baker,
•with ah armed boat's crew, discovered a party on the

bel do pitches, and were signalizing for . that purpose.
Tho two English sailors landed from a vessel from. Ha'i
fax, N 8., about tea days previous, which brought over
a prominent rebel with despatches. The vessel whioh
was to convey Banders to Europe was lying about four

on, and maltreating all who refused to side with them.
. Tho Provost Marshal; v- hlt 600 infantry, left the city
in the steamer Sunbeam and steamer Comet last evening,

. Death of, an .Esteemed Citizen.—' Wa, were
pained to learn that Mr, Charles Oakford; died at
his residence, in this city, at one o’clock P. M., oh ■
Tuesday, the 11th inst. He had a slight attack of
paralysis some weeks ago from which he never
fuliy recovered, although it was not until within
the last ten days that his disease assumed a com
plicated and threatening form, Mr. Oakford wag
the senior partner of the house of Charles Oakford
& Son, on Chestnut street, and was for many
y ears prominently identified with the commercial
enterprise ol Philadelphia. As a merchant ho
never allowed his own personal advantages to
eclipse his regard for the honor and the interests of
his city, and as a man there are but few whojdying,
would be more sincerely lamented on account of
their personal qualities of mind and heart.
, ■ Pennsylvania College op Dental Surcery.
—We learn from the Dental-Cosmos that Drs. J.
H. MoQuiHen and J. L. Suesserott have -resigned
their professorships in this College. The former is '
succeeded in the Ch ir of Anatomy and Physiology
by Dr. IV. J. Forbes, and Dr. G. T. Barker suc
ceeds Dr. Suesserott as Professor of the Principles
of Dental Surgery and Therapeutics. The profes
sion will be glad to know that Dr. McQuillen does
not relinquish his connection with the Dental Cos
mos, published in this city, monthly, by Mr, S. S.
White, Arch street. That periodical, now in the
fourth volume, (new series,) will continue to be
edited.by Dr. J. D. White, Dr. J: H. McQuillen,
and Dr. George J. Ziegler. It is by far the best pe
riodical of its class published in any country. The
November number is now before the public.
Mini tab y Multum is Pabvo. —T. B. Peterson
&Bro. are now selling a water-proof ease, intended
for soldiers of . all. ranks, which is. by .far the most
compact and complete, $s well as the cheapest thing
yet produced. When packed it is about 8 inches in
length and two in diameter, and weighs about ten
ounces when full. Its' contents are: wri ing-case,
blotter, pens, bolder, paper, envelopes, folio with
pockets, tray, ink-bottle, buttons, black and white
Cotton, silk, yarn, pins, needles, thimble, scissors,
comb, tooth-brush,pencil,tweezers, tooth-pick, and ;
draught-board. The major portion of these arti
cles fit in a neat tin case, and elastics keep the
whole so firm that one might throw the little roll
over the house without its getting loose. Compact
ness appears to have reaohod its limit here.

Saloon,} where all descriptions of photographic por
traits may be taken, from life size to the minimum
size of a were dot. He also has a large variety of
Photographic Albums, and an immense number of

The peculiar advantage of this photographic saloon
is that all portraits made in it will be taken on the
first floor, thereby preventing the usually disagree
able necessity of mounting several staircases to tbo
operating room.

HsADQUiETKES ARMY OF TH« POTOMI.O, 7
’ November 10.1893
The arinonncement that General George.B. McClellan
bss.been removed from the command of. the Array of the
Potomac, end the instalment in bis place of General
Ambrose E. Burnside, the personal friend and warm
coadjutor of the late Commander-iraChief, will have been
made by telegraph long before this Jotter reaohei you.
The announcement wag greeted with some sorrow, bnt
yet all ofdcerß and men have nerved themselves obe
diently to perform the duties that have been allotted to
them.
THE GENERAL TAKING LEAVE.
Hilltop, plain,.and valley glowedlast night with the
camp-fires of the Grand Army—beacon-lights of human
liberty ! Alas, no! not yet--niiity—and in the Btarltt
grove where lay the quarters of the general and stair, a
rich band poured forth music; nuinoroui officers, in
full uniform, paid him,'in bis capacious tent, their pirl
ing tributes of respect, and the besrtfelt sentiment of
their leaders welled in responsive sympathy f rom the
mighty hosts around. The iies which knit them all
to their beloved chief can only be born in the sonl
through a baptism of blood and fire, and beneath the
halo of a common glory.; and as each grasped his 'hand
with fervor, the pressure was retnrned with a measure of
affection fully equal.
. . THE SCENE. IN THE GENERAL'S TENT. '
We will descend to details. The General had paaied the
entire day at the quarters of General Buruoido, com
municating plans and discussing the campaign. I a the
evening* on being informed of the intended visit* ho was
ready at 9 o’clock for the "reception. He woro at. undress
military coat, open* and with the collar turned down;
and B 9 he stood in the centre of hie tent, shaking hands
wltheacb, smoked a cigar, and blew clouds'in tho : air
with imperturbable tranquilitr and cheerfulness. * The
oft-repeated remark of '< General, this is patoful newß,”
elicited the reply of << It was very unexpected to me, 1
assure you-” Strong expressions, indulged in by youth
ful members of the staff, wit a. quietly, answered with,
“We have only to obey orders.*’ The subject was then
immediately turned to inqutti'B relative to thiiv personal
affairs and duties.’ Champagne was upon a table In the
corner, of which all partook. As the General lifted his
glassy his toast war, “The Army of the Potomac, and
bless the day when I shall return to it.” Enthusiastic
individuals hinted constantly at-the White House as hjs
future command. This was answered with a smiling si
lence, at to a remark by no means new,
?■ ■ ...
GEN. M’CEELIiAN INTENDS TO WHITE A HISTORY
OP HIS CAMPAIGNS.
A gentleman from Washington Territory JntroJnoel
himself. The General said he was sorry to see hint under
these cbrcnmatances. Ho s. t speech was made. Someone
observed, “General, we shall sfo yon bach in a fort
night.” Said he, “If X never return to the Army of the
Potomac, may I live to writo its history. It is a task 1 1
which I shall devote myself.” Again; to another: :«I
feel as if the army of the Potomac belonged to ine. It j)
mine. I feel that i!s officers ere my children—my brothers.
This separation is like a forcible divorce of man and wife.
It is unnatural ”
As the crowd gradually departed, his brother generals',
and more immediate companions in arms,-rematned.-
Upon the closer confidences imparted to them, I did not
intrude. I had never previously- seen Gem McClellan,
except in profile, and conld not form an e tirnate of his
countenanoe, As an anti-slavery person, his ideatiScs
tlon by the nnblio with pro-slavery ideas led mo to re
gard him with indifference, though respecting his high
qualities from hearsay. A foil view of his massive head
end features, revealing great powers of mental concen
tration, honesty, gentleness, dignity, and weight of cha
racter, impressed me with the'fact that, while there might
bo more or iginaiive and fiery.minds, but few men in the
lor g run were better able to bear the burden of great re.
eporaelbilities. Hie wholodemoacor last night cannot bo
better expressed than by,the word Majesty; and this was
tempered by most brotherly tones. . , ' ,
To the manly chieftain who succeeds him, let us give
our earnest hopes. Ho has been tried and proved upon a
minor field, and our faith in his powers is augmented by
bis modeßt self-depreciation and warm tributes o! 'praise
tewatds his predecessor. -•
The parting address of Gen. McClellan you wIT era
this have received by telegraph. It ie warmly responded
to. He is at present reviewing the army, and: departs
this afternoon for Trenton, Hew Jersey, where his family
sojourn.
And now, onward ! The bolossal sections of the army
arc concentrating with renewed speed. Supplies are ra
pidly arriving, the bub shines in glory, and hope reigns
triumphant. ' - [' N.

About 10 o’clock last sight, heavy Bring was heard to

mil. soil'.
This morning a boat arrived from the flagship inform
ing ns that a vessel had ran the blockade, and that the
firing was from the Flambeau, which got under way- be
fore the steamer had run the lino of the blockade, and
attempted to stop her. She took no notice of tho Flam
beau, which fired twenty, two shots against heir sides, but
tbej rattled off like bail, and she. must have been iron
plated, and thick at that, or Ste Flambeau's rifled shots
■would have gone through her. ■ She did not seem to mind
them, hut kept on up the channel and ran in. It is
thought she was the vessel the rebels , expected with iron
plates'for the rams.’ If so, we, must expect hot work be
fore long, unless we have something better than wooden
ships to contend with her.

THE BET VEX OP LOED LYONS.
Tho Times in its City Article says that lord Lyons
toi k cut the most f nil assurance that while England will
be eager, in concert with other civilized nations, to
adopt any. step that may tend to .promote a permanent
return of peace, either a restoration of the U nloa on the
eld or new basis, or an agreement for a friendly separa
tion, she will, meanwhile, individually reinae jo depart
one haic.’s breadth from her course of non- interference.
The Globe, in a leader on the departure of Lord
Lyons, says every reliance may be placed on his'discre
tion; besides which, there is great improbability of any
cause of political differenoes between the Government at
Washington and our own. As to Cape.-Wilkes; should .
be toangress the fair bounds of warfare, his Government
will repudiate hte transgressions as it did before. ’
The appointment of Commodore Wilkes to the com
mand of the United States squadron off Bermuda, and
his proceedings there, contfoutd to claim attention. The
powerful scron-. frigates “Galt tea ” and <• Emerald,’’ car
rying 26 and 36 guns, had both left England to reinforce
the British West India fleet. ;
The London Timse contains a letter from Oapt. Horn,
commanding the steamship “Gladiator.” According to
his statement the Island of Bermuda was effectually
blockaded by the Federal squadron. The account given
by Captain Horn is as follows: Toe Island had been
strictly blockaded, by a Federal iquadron, under Commo
dore Wilkes, 'since September 27th, on whioh day he
entered the harbor in the Nagasslt, accompanied by the
gnnboat Tioga, leaving ano-her gunboat (the Sonoma)
to keep guard at tho entrance or the harbor, and,
under pretence of coaling and repairs, remained
at anchor till the 2d of October, oh which day ,he
■ UJt, end Ikn Sonoma entered and commenced coaling,
' : sihd Mtfoh the'lfith'of'Octobari—Thei.threajvssestf had
been in sight up to the day of the Gladiator leaving, Oa
- tober 7tb, cruising about four miles fromrtbe land, and
at eight anchoring in the fairway of the ohannel leadiiig
to'fit. George’B, so tbatit way Impossible any yoss3i could
go* cither in rr otit Oapt. Horn gives' an account af
the rcailbbat Merliff having been fired at and brought
to, and of tho Gladiator having been ordered to heave
to. The only British man-of-war at Bermuda was the
Desperate. • Capt Horn is of opinion that the coaling
must have been a mere pretence, as. the Squadron was
only lour days from Fortress Monroe, and that the quan
tity of coals taken on board by the three vessels was not
sufficient to coal one; had it really needed them.
- The Times , editorially, says: “It is certainly not for
our interest, as a nation, to tmjpeaoh the belligerent right
of search, end the Federate have not actually exceeded
tbeir privilegem -It would be impolitic as well as unjust
to inieifaro with their proceeding?, and we mu3t say,
that,-with the exception possibly of the case of the
Gladiator, they do cot appear to have materially over
stepped their rights; - If, then, as wo Bhonld be disposed
to surmise, they have done little more than press their
privileges as rigorously as possible under the provoca
tion given theta by a brisk contraband traffic, we thick
we may bb well make aliowance for th ir temptations,
BBd put ourselves in their place before we pronounce
upon their conduct. We are by no' means sure as yet
that the Federate have done in this matter anything more
than, under similar conditions, we should have done
without any tciuple at all.”
In its “City Article,” also, the Tim (3 refers to the
affair and says : “ The idea that Commodore Wilkes may
intend to renew his experiments mioternaiionoflaw has
greatly subsided, and ibe'belief is that his nomination to
the West India station was not intended as an affront to
the neutral Powers of Europe, hui merely to gratify ’ the
New York populace, by enabling them to interpretit as
tnch. That consequently the orders to the Commodore
.enjoin him to keep within proper bounds, and that should
bein the face of them rerort to any outrage, if will be
repudiated like that upon the Trent”
. Tbs Daily .News remonstrates with President Lin
coln upon the bad taste shown in the appointment of
Wilkes to that post, where he is most likely to come into
contact with British shipping. It recommends Lincoln
to put seme officer of proved discretion between Bermuda
and Charleston, and console Wilkes by sending Mm to
blsze away at Vicksburg or Fort Morgan.
The Times, In some speculations on the elections in
America, says: “ When wo see the Democratic party
nuking a show of force, once more strngg ing for utter
ance and yearning for the old free institutions of early
Amc-rics, we believe that, in that party, lies the only
bopi of peace to a great people, and permanent prosperi
ty to,a mighty, country. They.bave all our sympathies.
We have no great faith In the early termination of the
war if tho B<.ynblicahs gain another term of power.
True, gold is new at 132, and the money crash is nearing
every day ; but the Confederates have fought on parched
corn, and tho Federate also can fight without .foreign
credit if their passions, hold out cr their party hatreds
urge' them. Although they never can actually subdne,
they may go on obstinately fighting If the Republicans
should win all those elections, the result may very pro
bably be so to lengthen, and embitter this war as to thro w
the North Atnerican ebbtinent back for a century.”
The Times publishes a private letter from New Or
letns, in wbich it is stated that Mrs, Phillips, who suf
fered such barbarons treatment fromJJenl Butler for ha
ving smiled at the Yankee soldiers, has completely loßt
hi r reason. Gen- Butler has by a recent proclamation
required every person in the city to register himself or
herself as either a friend or an enemy of< the United
States; and at the same time to give in a register of their
property, and no article conld be sned: for or sold or en
joyed In.eiiy way, which was not regularly registered.
The Times remarks on this letter, “it is, a senseless
humiliation end ah useless insult to drive up a whole
population under the muzzles of oaniioh and under
threat of being utterly despoiled to commit a; sort of
while perjury. A gentleman with a little tact might by
this have let loose those three million bales of cotton.
But while Butler commands,!New Orleans can .serve for;
no otbir use without, but as a warning to ail Southern
cities of wbat submission to the North involves.”
The Gibraltar Chronicle confirms the telegram an
nouncing the mnrder of the officer in command of the
privateer “Sumpter.” It says: A dreadful tr «gedy oc

GREECE
The abdication of King Otho is fully confirmed.. He
and bis Qrreen arrivtd at Corfu on the 27th, and pro
ceeded to Venice.
The Provisional Government, under the presidency of
M. Mavrocordato, bad formally declared the dynasty of
King Otho to be deposed.
It ia asserted the t.tbe candidacy of Prince Lieutohan •
berg to the throne of Greece was seriously spoken of at
Athens. An address wae being signed at Athens oalling
upon the lonians to unite themselves to Graeco.
The Insurgent obief at Monitza is said to have called
the inhabitants to anus against the Turks. Abdel Pasha
bad'sent a strong division to occupy Arts, ia order to
repulse the Greeks should they attempt to make an in
cursion into Albanian territory.
The London Times says the abdication of King Otho*
(whose rule it Btrongly denounces) is an event which
jnsy prove of the utmost importance in the politics of
Eastern Europe. The Kmsa trusts that, whether they
chooses member of a European reigning house or a
man of their own race, the choice .will be ratified with
out brsitation by Europe, and that the' Greeks will not
create trouble by an infraction of public treaties or any
Bttemit at present to extend; their territory. „ r . •
The Post says: The seif-constituted Mavrocordato
directory ia crying, apparently, not for the inauguration
of reform, but for the acquisition of Albania, The revo
lution, it Hi clear, has had 1 both a foreign origin aud a
foreign object. Mavrocordato and hie fellow tools would
hardly have ventured on a courso so disproportioned to
their strength, as well as to alien from the common aims
of a sucdeisfni insurrection, without the complicity and
Support ef one at least of the Great Pow-rs of Europe.”
The Pott theo insinuates that the Bussian Government

Sir Henry Bulwer, the British Minister at Constantino

also been ordered to the Gulf of Arta.
Prince Alfred, of England, was amongst those spoken

the Count of Flambns, Becond son of the King of .the
Belgians, as the mostavailable Prince. -
BUS 3IA.
The Journal de St- Petersburg publishes a dipiomaßc
correspondence between Earl Hassell and Prince Gort
echakcff, in reference to the Montenegrin question, and
the state of things la Turkey generally. f
Earl Bussell holds opinions contrary to those of-the
Bussian Government respecting the cOndltlois of peace
imposed upon Montenegro, and explains for what rea
ecus England mnat decline to give her snpport to projects
which have no other aim than that of dissolving the ties
of fuzerainty which connect Montenegro with Turkey.
Prince Gortschakcff, in reply, endeavors to show that
the Porte bae acted with great dishonesty towards Mon
tenegro. and states that Bnssia also considers the mainte
nance of the Turkish Empire as important for the po
litical equilibrium of Europe. Russia must, however,
insist upon a more conciliatory system of government
being inaugurated in Turkey, as far as the Christian
eubjtctß of the Porte are oonoeroed. Priuoe Gortsoha

The Comparative Strength' of European

occupied by Mr. Block in the French sta'ilsHcal depart,

’’in homoparticnlers his figures correct Beveral common
mistakes. For instance: It is generally snpposed; that
themoetrspid increase of-popnlationin I'lnr. pe takes place

this clement of strength five countries are ahead of
-"Great Britain. In the laet thirty or forty years the an

been 1.9.
Arain, it is-commonly; asserted that France has, pro
