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. The

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 importance for man and beast of the prescribed
Weekly rest, the saertd rights of Christian soldiers and

Christian people, and a due regard for the Divine Will,
demand ,that Sunday labor in the army and navy be re
duced to the measure of strict necessity. The discipline
and character of the national foroos should hot Buffer,
nor the cause they defend be imperilled by the profana
tion of the ddy and name of the Host High. At this
time of public distress, adopting the words of Washing

of God and their country without abandoning themselves
to vice and immorality.”
The first General Order Issued by the Father of fas
Country, aftor tbo Declaration of Independence, indi
cates the spirit on which our institutions were founded
and should ever bo defended:

and so soon as it was- announced on-our, bulletin
beard that they had arrived, hundreds began to
wend their way towards the levee to see tham, and,
perhaps, to recognize old friends, or aeqaamt
aases, or relatives. When we reached the steamer, the
wharf was elrpady crowded, and the priioners wore
hoiding uninterrupted commuutoatton with all they re
cognized onßhore. A battalion of infantry shortly made
its appearance,' and cleared a wide space on tho force la
•frontof the boatj but it was soon withdrawn, and the
crowd was again allowed freely to talk with the pri.
eosers from tha wharf. And many were the joyful
recognitions that took place. Everything, however,
was done in'- the most orderly, style, and: with tim
greatest decorum She prisoners looked very well, were
dressed as finely a* could be expected under the circum

GREAT BBITAIN.
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 ?

Final Test of tlie Sun.
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. Herald, yesterday.

It will be remembered that some time since I sent yon,
information to the effect that Gov. 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

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

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

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. V

Unnecessary Alarm.— Oa Sahirday
morning, considerable alarm was occasioned, by the ap

mpntbs since, and has just Been rebuilt, aaaioua fears
were fo’t lest the budding should again fait a pray to tho
