J xt&B. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1862, THE WAR. Wau.E it is undoubtedly the fajoi that intelli gence of the highest importance, giving us I ' tidings either of a battle or of the flight of Loo, may be almost hourly expected from General Burnside's headquarters, it is equally a fact that muoh into rest attaches to the movements of “Stonewall’' Jackson. As to his plans we have yet learned nothing reliable, notwithstanding the reports of deserters, captured staff officers, Rnd negroes. ;, Ac- - cording to our despatches, his entire force, num bering about forty thousand men, including the oorps of Central Hill, is some where'in tbevioinUy of f rontKoyal. In this position he evidently intends to withdraw such a force from Burnside as to place the latter in danger of an attach from Lee; or, at any rate, to render an advance of our army too hazardous to be undertaken. Bnt in what precise direction he bopes to accomplish this withdrawal, we are not yet informed. He may throaten Harper’s Ferry, where his pickets, in fact, have made their appear ance ; he may attempt a second invasion of Mary land, and one of his staff captured on Friday re ported that Stonewall Jackson would bo in Cum berland “ within twenty-feuf hoursor he may endeavor to repeat the coup of getting in the rear of pur army, either through Manassas or Chester Gaps, in both of which, according to a lato rocon noissaneo, a rebel foroe was posted. The proba bilities are in favor of the last mentioned scheme. Harper’s Ferry, if it were possible to retake it, could not be retaken except by a prolonged siege, for it is now fully garrisoned, and whatever Jaok3on does must be done quickly, to bo of any avail in Lee’s behalf; As for another invasion of Maryland, we have too high an opinion of the judgment of the rebels, to imagine them capable of repeating thoir exploit in that direction. Jackson’s grandobjectis 'to divide Burnside’s army, and to avert the decisive battle as long as possible. If he entertains any other purpose it must be subsidiary to this. More than this hepan hardly hope to accomplish. It is, • therefore, probable that he will remain in his position at Front Royal, hoping :by bis menacing attitude, either to delay Burnside's advance, or ft withdraw- from Burnside a force greater than his own to keep him in Check. At present he has most to gain by a policy of inaetivi-. ij. He might make another dash into Maryland which would yield him a bounteous harvest of shoes, olothing, and provisions; but time is of in finitely greater value to the rebels than oom- . missary stores; and they are extremely careful to make no movement likely to bring about an en gagement unless the chance of success is immensely in their favor. Wo do not think Sen, Burnside wiii allow them such a ehance. All the gaps of the Bue Ridge are well guarded, and there is little prospect that the raid of August lust to Manassas can be repeated. This provision, in connection with the garrisoning of Harper’s Ferry, and the cautious advance of our army, has placed it out of Jackson’s power, we think, to in terrupt our line of communication. 11 is by no means so oertain that his own can be kept unbroken, for General Cox was reported on Saturday to be Within a comparatively short distance of Staun ton. Instead 1 of being a detached corps, free to operate in any desired direction, Jackson’s foroe is, therefore,' in fact, Lee’s reserve, or, we should rather gay; his sole reliance; and in the present criti cal situation of his army, with a retreat in contem plation, or perhaps now in progress, it is extremely - unlikely that his •' reliance” can be spared to make raids or exploring expeditions at any greater dis tance from the main body than it is at present. The Passenger Railways. Mr. Hex nr On oskey, the Socrotary of the Board of Railway Presidents, gives usa reason for'the recent action-.of- the Board in his brief communication which wc .publish this morn ing. If anything were necessary to convince us' of the inexcusable injustice of the Railway Presidents, it would be the explanation of Mr. ChOskey. He has actualiy nothing to say that will notlintor siiy the public opinion now array ed against the Board. In reply to our statement of the great gains of several of the companies, he says that other companies are not so profitable, some of them, indeed, hardly paying the current interest on the original in vestments. Then, again, as a solace to the community, and, perhaps, as an evidence of kindness ard condescension on the part of the Board, he tells us that twenty tickets may yet be sold for one dollar, so that the public may still be enabled to ride at the old rate of fare. . Wo can see nothing in these reasons of Mr. Ceoskev to destroy the opinions we ex pressed a few ago, when discussing this sub ject. If there are any railway corporations that do not pay a compensating interest on the original investment, the fault is that of the stockholders, and should not be remedied by the public. Passenger railways were never built merely to tax the public for their sup pert. They were established as a general con venience, as an easy and expeditious method of local communication, as an improvement upon the lumbering and dreary old stages, and with a view towards consolidating aud im proving the city of Philadelphia, by shorten ing distance, and economizing time and money.. When the first road was built it was an ex periment. Very soon it became a golden suc cess. Its stock advanced to an almost unpre cedented' figure 1 . Experience and judgment •would have .dictated the proper course to be pursued in such a case. It was seen that the _l U3tß3i3cjensLa.scfeat publie-conTenience, atid it was evident that as a convenience it might be followed to a reasonable extent. But this would, not satisfy thg_ grgoAFpniify ana heed .MffSKftn melted by the pecuniary profits of the new enterprise. Like the boy in the nursery, fable, they had found a goose that laid golden eggs, and instead of patiently, awaiting the course of nature, they killed the bird to obtain at once the auriferous treasure. The fable repeats its moral; Mr.. Cbosket piteously tells the public that the goose is dead, and no more eggs can be found, and in behalf of the foolish owners of a once profitable investment ho toils us that we must be taxed an unnecessary bur den, as an expiation of their; heedless folly. We have no idea of submitting to any such burden, and Mr. Secretary Oeoskex will do the Board a kindness if he can succeed in impressing that fact upon the minds of its members. The owners of these unprofitable railways rushed into the enterprise with an unscrupulous avidity that history only pa rallels in its narrative of the “ South Sea Bubble” and the Mississippi scheme of John Law. It these railroad managers complain of the failure of their investment, let them re member the eager haste with which they en tered the speculation—the desperate means they used to control the Legislature in granting’ charters—and the audacity with which they trafficked away their honor, their money, their time, and their influence, to ob tain what they co w possess. We may repeat the historian’s comments upon the “ South Sea Babble,” partly because it anticipates the opinions we express, but mrae particu larly that it may be read ' with : salutary interest by Mr. Secretary Cboskey and his board of presidents: “It was buoyed up by nothing but the folly and rapaciousness of in dividuals, which became so blind and extrava gant that Blunt, with moderate talents, was able to impose upon the whole nation.” These railway, men sinned by their ayariciousness, and if now they suffer, they can expect nothing from the public hut joy over their penitence. They cannot expect us to assume the burden of a folly which wc protested against in the beginning, and which we are ready to remedy now; That remedy is this: If the Board of Presidents are tired of their speculation, let them turn the enterprise over to the city for the sum originally invested, and a fair interest upon the investment since the beginning.

Ex- Mayor Yav-x, though-wholly averse to noto riety, and calm and subdued in his cosy closet, has already bought his ticket in the lot tery, and awaits the result with modest dig nity; Mr. Yatfx has all the qualifications for; the place, and it must not he charged that, because he was a free-spiler only a tew years ago, he is not now an honest opposition Demo crat. It will be seen irom this hasty review how many hearts and hopes-hang upon a ma jority of one in the Legislature of Pennsylva nia in the forthcoming Senatorial election— wliat an important figure that one majority will make in history. We have written a thousand paragraphs upon the importance of 'one vote in a great election, but theu those were popular elections, and the memorable citizen to whom we so frequently appealed had no Senator in bis gripe, no great expecta tions to realize, and no mighty destinies to serve. Suppose this majority of one should dwindle into nothing—suppose some Demo crat should: take it into Bis head to vote for. “ somebody else”—but we will hot pursue this painful subject. can extend, we shall deal with all such schemes as- we ar« dealing now with Mr. Gros hev and his friends of the passenger railways. The Success of the Passaic. The grandest triumph of art elicited during the present war for the Union is announoed in our. columns to-day. -.-The monster fifteen inch gun of the Monitor battery .gasaaie was tested on Saturday, within the turret, and the result was a most complete success, the dis charge being unattended with concussion or smoke inside. In 1861 Captain Ekiosson’s battery, the Monitor, appeared upon the 'theatre of war in Hampton roads, and. revolutionized the.navies of the world. But the first Monitor, ' though more than a match for the lumbering Merrimac, was still but the embodiment of a crude idea. In the scientific, as in the soc.til world, revolutions never go backward. In 1862 Captain Ericsson’s battery, the Passaic, ap pears before the world, to tbach the European Powers a new lesson in the art of naval war fare and end their groping theories and expe riments. as was the original Idea, this new development is equally grand, and. fraught with equally Important results. The massive Warrior, and the pompous Gloire, both Samsons, have been, shorn of their strength, and the Federal navy may now aspire to rule the waves. But the idea Is not yet wholly developed. There is yet room for the fertile gonitis of our inventors to improve upon it. Our navy is still in its transition state, but the progress we have made, in our efforts to make it the most, formidable in the world, has been truly wonderful, and the na tion owes a heavy debt of gratitude to Captain Ericsson, and those who have labored with him in this department of art, which cannot be repaid, but will rather be increased as the future records of science are unfolded to its gaze.,.:: Rembrandt Peale Rembrandt Peale, our townsman, who died two years ago, at the advanced, age of eighty-two, was the last survivor of the nume rous artists to whom—penalty of ; human greatness! —Washington sat for portrait or bust. lie was a more youth, at the tithe', but was a fair draughtsman, under his tathpr’s teaching, at the ago of eight. When the father was painting Washington's portrait, the son was also permitted to set up his easel for the same purpose. The result was a por trait which holds rank, as a characteristic like ness, almost equal to that by Gilbert Stuart/ For many: years before his death, he had to supply copies of this portrait to numerous admirers of the Father of his Country, in al parts lof the Union, and ' also in England, Scotland, Germany, and Franco. By order of his executors, Mr. Peale’s valuable collec tion of paintings,. oil, water color, and crayon sketches,: engravings, autograph-book, and manuscripts, will be sold by Thomas & Sous—per Mr. Bell, literary and fine’ arts auctioneer. The sale will come off to-morrow forenoon, at the Academy of Fine Arts, Chest nut street, above Tenth, the Directors having lent the hall for this purpose. To-day, the whole collection will be on view, without any charge for admission. The articles to be said consist of engravings, chiefly • after modern artist s,'- and a book of original tracings by Wertmuller, whose portrait of Washington ; wqipßgraved for In vise’s biography of the soldier-statesman. Next, a number of crayon and other drawings by Mr. Peale, and a small original sketch of a mother and child .* Then, a great many oil paintings by Mr. Peale, in cluding one by his father. These paintings ate chiefly original, though two copies of Rubens’ St. Cecilia claim especial attention. They consist of all sorts ot' subjects, principally portraits, among which are Mr. Peale’s truly fac-simile copies of the portraits of Washing ton by Pise, Stuart, and Trumbull ; copies, of his own Washington, of his father’s, and other likenesses of the hero, in various cos tumes —senatorial, military, and civil. There is also a noble, equestrian portrait, highly finished for the purpose of being engraved, though it never was. Moreover, the duplicate of RemeeandtPeale’s original, taken in 1795, from which he painted seventy-nine copies, now widely distributed and highly esteemed in this country and in Europe. The portrait of Mrs. Washington, by Mr. I’kale’s father, is in this sale. The autograph book contains letters from Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and twenty-three other eminent Americans whose names are historical. Mr. a precious book entitled “ Notes of the Painting Room,” - being the experience of half a century, by Mr. Peale himself', to the value and interest of which those excellent artists, Thomas Sully; and A. B. Durand, bear warmly approving testimony. For our own part, if Mr. Peale wrote as well as be spoke, the work must be on acceptable addition to the literature of Art. The writer of these lines did not know Mr. Peale until the artist was close on his eightieth year, but it might bo said of him, as cf Moses, “His eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.” His conversational powers were great; his language copious and forcible; his memory as accurate as it was large; and his manner at once easy and genial. Ilis recollections of Washington were vivid, and he was wont to speak, with the simple dignity of desert, of the ’ unanimity with which persons most intimate with Washington had volunteered their fa vorable opinion of the accuracy and spirit of the P eale portrait. Above all, Charles Wilson Peale, to whom Washington had repeatedly sat, candidly admitted that Ms son, Rembrandt, had produced a better portrait than himself or Stuart. After the Rembrandt Peale sale, a few select paintings, with drawings and engravings, the private collection of a gentleman leaving Phi ladelphia, for whom they were painted by the artist, will be sold. The following artists, with others, are represented here : Rother mel, Birch, Church, Bonfieed, Russell, Smith, Doughty, Kensett, Weber, Cropsev, Boutelle, Core, Durand, Calcott, and James Hamilton. Of course, there will be a large concourse of connoisseurs, collectors, artists, and auction-painters on this occasion. The Passenger Railways. To the Editor of The Press: But : I noticed in your paper ot yesterday an article : complaining of the action of the Board of Presidents of the City,Passenger Railways in the proposed increased price bl fare. The roads you came are doubtless doing a good business, but there are others whose stock is selling at fifty per cent, below the price actually paid in. My object in writing is to state that the action of the E, ard ol Presidents does not prevent the purchase of tickets, twenty for one dollar, “good over any city road,” as heretofore ; consequently, by the investment of that amount the increased price of fare will be avoided.

The London Times again adverts to the action of the New York Chamber of Commerce, touching the rebel steamer Alabama, and denies that any blame can be attached to England. It says that her ship yards are open to all. England does not fit out ships of war. bat sells their component parts to all comers. The Times then quotes from the message of President Pierce to Congress, in 18S6, to show wbat America considered her neutrality and what she was justified in doing during the Busßlan war. The Times adds: “England has never gone beyond or fully up to the bounds of the American theory, which is perfectly sound, and English neutrals sit as disciples at the feet of President Pierce.” . 'The London Daily Sews has a very different argu ■ meet. It says that the Government cannot be answer able far every paltry infraction of obligations which its subjects might be tempted to commit; but looking at tbe grave charges; made against Laitd’k ship-building yard on the Mersey,’ where a navy to be ’used against a friendly Power is being built after Fnglsnd has declared her neutrality, is not the Government bound either to terminate this illegal state of things, or to withdraw its neutrality proclamation ? The" same paper furnishes evidence from Southern newspapers to show that their military resooroesjire about exhausted! end that internal dissensions prevail. John Bright, in a letter to Win. G-.

He says: ‘‘The worth may sepa rate |froni the South or fight out th 6 contest and win, bat to leave'the slave still a slave will expose her to the contempt of lhft civilized world.” He adds: “I applaud the proclamation of President Lioooln, sb does every man in Khropo who is not a foe to freedom or moved by base hostility to the American Bepubito, be cants it Ib a republic, and a powerful one. lord John Brougham, in a' letter, expresses a strong hope that the Government will refrain from interference saof lea.

Its Unqualified Success-The One Dis charged iu tbe Turret without Smofcc or Conclusion. The new iron-ciad Passaic went on a trl> yesterday for the purpose of testing the operation of the fifteen inch gnn inside of tbe'tarret. Men of scientific know ledge; military and naval officers, hail confidently assert. cii that it would he impossible to fire * gun so large with a fall charge inside of a turret without either killing the gmr’s crew outright or disabling them afterwfew rounds. Mau7 said that the English had tried heavy gnus, bat were obliged to give wp* their use, as they were not able to week then. But the results of yesterday base con vinced the mrßt skeplrcal-or these who'witnessed the ex periment, of the feasibility, and even caused these asms men to the most enthusiastic in their expressions of delight and: astonishment at the success of the sapori ment. : The Passage left the wharf at the foot of Thirteenth street, betwoon ten and eleven o’clock In the mornint, and steamed ay the North river against a atroDg<ebb tide and a her.vy northerly winds Eer Bpeed, from-the Start, areragcflcTcr seven knots-through the water, and her screw making only fifty- eight- turns, whioh is twenty two less than she has the power to give. But, the belt ers foaming, it wa® not deemed advisable to drive her So ber maximum speed, the trial being more for the gen tian the vessel. Her speed was remarked by all on? board, many think fog slie was going: faster' than she" really was j but the feg gave the trno-figures. On arriving at a pemt" opposite Port- Washington the Passaic was headed in towards the western shore of the river, under the towering cliffs oi the- Palisades, when, selecting ah uninhabited spot, it was determined to see the effect against the rocky bulwarks of the noble Had eon. The steamer was atopped, and the 15-lech gnu was loaded with twenty pounds of powder ai d a hollow shot. After tlie gun was tun out to the side ortho tnrtct, and ail was ready, it was fired, the ball ricocheting along the water a few times, then striking the rocks, causing them to fly like bo much chaff,- followed by a terrible echo, whioh in its force, resembled the explosion of-a powder mill The noise outside of the turret was terrible, whiio inside there was no concussion of any account, and the noise certainly did not exceed that which would have ibeeh produced by the firing of an ordinary pistol. SEcoNn FritiXG Ihe second time the gun was loaded with thirty-five pounds of powder and a hollow shot. It was fired, recoiling three feet ten inches, producing no unpleasant concnstion, and, as before, there was scarcely any smoko in the turret. Several of tbo spectators, who were in tho turret at the first firing, were outside, this time, to see the working of the shot which-had been spoken of by those who were outside at the time; but ■ the noise outside was so unpleasant that they preferred to be inside the next time tho gun was fired, and ac cordingly they went in and remained there through the balance of the firing. Tninn Fnuxo.—The third time the gnu was fired it was charged with thirty-five pounds of powder and a hollow shot. The recoil was only, two feet eight incheß. The same results were obtained without trouble; in fact, it was much pleasanter inside than sntside of- the,, t arret. No noise was perceptible- tending to discomfort either on the berth deck or in the onglno-room. Foubtit Fimkci —Tne fourth and last time tha gnn was fired it was charged with thirty-five pounds of pow der and a solid shot, the first one fired from a gnu of this size with e fail service charge. The result was pre cisely the same, Ihe recoil being only two feet eight inches end no smoke or noise in the tnrret. Thus ended the experiment with the gnn, which in every respect was satisfactory. We refrain from giving , our foreign friends or the rebels the-slightest due as tOj how this matter has been accomplished; but suffice it to say that it Is the plan of Captain Hriosaon, and it how is believed to be as near perfect as anything mortal man can makal—AT T.

Stanly had despatched l u commnnieaticn to Gov, Vance, relative to an henorable peeco, and for other purposes. To that communication Gey. Vance has tent a reply by a fl»g of truce. Gov, V.’s reply is, in effect, ao follows: He deciines any meeting between himself and Gov. Stanly. Also declines a conference of commissioners Be eiso writes, in a defiant tone, that North Carolina wiil fight tilt the lest drop of blood, and refers Gov. Steely, if be has any propositions to make, to treat di rectly with the Confederate authorities at Eishmond. litfst evening our pickets and a small advance force were driven in by a large body of rebels, Tha latter in the outset opened with shell One of the 3d New York cavalry was wounded in the log. The enemy built large camp fires, acted as though he wsb in large force, end meditated an. attack oh Newborn. And this was render ed still more plausible from the fact of the enemy seeming to take advantage of our compara tive weakness, but few of the regiments and none of the artillery having reached Newborn from the late Hamil ton expedition. In ibo absence of General Foster, everything was got ready to meet an attack in admirably good time, through the energetic endeavors of Colonel Kurtz 1 In and around Use oity of Newaern there was an in tense excitement. The natives, nil night, cotnd be seen packing np their duds, while the contrabands swarmed towards the water from every direction. It was thought that the enemy whs only making a faint in front of Bewbern, while his real object was to make a raid on Morehead city, and thus destroy a large amount of United States stow B, besides having it la his power to destroy the railroad connection between Howbera and Beanfort. Tour correspondent! In company with Con ductor Blunt, proceeded at midnight to near Beaufort, and found everything in good order. Sven now there-is an extensive excitement iu this place. The cavalry has justTieen ordered out to find the whereabouts of the enemy. , It ia probable that the enemy may bave meditated an ' attack on Kewberni lit ceiSsEanence of out moving with Buck a large force on Hamilton and towards Tarboro; but, Enbfleauently ascertaining onr strejgth to be greater than was at first supposed, they withe rew during the nigbl. ; ■ I have been to the line*; but no attack ha* been cam ■ , menced as yet, r or is there any greßt indication of one. . IfOVEHBBr. 12—4 l* ai- The city and its neighborhood are now comparatively quiet. At I o’clock thiß morning therebels attacked onr pickets on the railroad, near Baoholor’s creek. Tha pickets withstood the attack, which was by cavalry, until snob tihmas the Monitor got in :trim for action. The Monitor is an iron*ciad railroad car, and mounts two .Monitor reumlsed the rebels after a long flee chusetts had one man killed and two wounded. A large force of infantry and cavalry has been sentout to meet the enemy, and bag him if possible. His strength Is not very great. It seems tbat his intention ia miking tbls demonitratioh was to capture the Monitor. Ail the flags in the city are now at half mastoont of respect to the memory of Captain Pendleton, of Gensral Foster's staff, lately deceased. Captain Pendleton’s re mains will be conveyed ,Borlh, this afternoon, in the Ellen S.Terry. I General Poster is coming up the river in the Pilot Boy.

Unpateiotio.—We learn that abene ficial society, whose meeting place is at Sixth and Arch streets, and whose members are principally mombera, also, of a chorch in the lower recti )n of the city, Toted a resolution, an evening or two since, to exclude all those from the benefits of the society who, though paying their monthly dues, enlist in the service of their chantry. Last week, one of its oldest members died from the effects of wounds received at the battle of Antietsm His does had been promptly paid, and never was he in arrears. His wife applied for the sixty dollars to which, by the rnles of the society, she was entitled on the death of: her hus band, and she was refused. The society, we understand, is in a flourishing condition, with ample funds and ex tensive membership, and they are consequently without excuse in evading their duty on a technical plea. Pa triotism, at least, should be a consideration, in favor of a deceased member, whose family, during his life, werefce uuently pinched that the monthly dues might be paid. Blessing A .Bill.— Yesterday after noon the ceremony of blessing a bell took place in St. Paul’s Church, Christian street, near Tenth. Previous to the exercises of the occasion, 'confirmation was ad ministered to a large number of boys and girls, the latter oi whom - were robed in white, giving to the interior of the chhrcli a kind of midsummer appearance. The bell which was blessed is intended for the belfry of the church, and is of large size and clear, ringing tone. If was suspended in front of the altar, between three up right piapkß, and the blessing was performed by Sight Bev. Bishop Weed. The'ceremony was condncted in the mysterious though solemn service; of the Oathelio Ohurch, and impressed those present with an apparent religious sensation.
