%\jf sJrm; TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1862. THE WAK. The report that- two tbonsand rebels had been inarched to Gloucester house, Virginia, isnot surprising. They hope, by this movement, to take Gloucester Point .batteries, and use the guns upon ouri|>osition at Yorktown, in the capture of which ♦hey would gain stores, ammunition and guns, in greftt quantUies, as well os a vast amount of mate rial which General McClellan took to York town for its reduction. General Naglee was apprised of « proposed advance of the rebels towards Gloucester Point, some two weeks since, and promptly sent ■out an expedition to meet them. But our troops re'orned after scouring the country for forty-eight heurs, obtaining no reliable übwb from the enemy. Gloucester Point is garrisoned by the 104th Penn sylvania Volunteers, Colonel Davis, and the 100th New York, Colonel Dandy, both veteran corps. The place can be taken from the rear, but not without a great sacrifice of life, more than the rebels can afford to make just now. Gen Nagles and his brave, but neglected, command will only be too glad to meet an enemy onoe more and whip him as they did at Seven Pines. THE NEWS. The Montreal Gazette Bays: CI There is to be yet another bank established in Canada by Eng lish capitalists, called the « Bank of Canada, Nova Sootia, aid New Brunswick,’ with a capital of IU,- 000 OOd sterling. Our late Governor General, Sir Edmund Head, and Viscount Bury, are among the directors. There is a prospect of a considerable flow of English capital into this country. In fact, there seems to be more question of its judicious employment than any limitation of the flo w.” A coEMtspoHDENT at Boaufort writes that there was heavy frost there on the nights of the Bth and oth of November, lhis gives hope of a cessation of yellow fever. On the ninth there was a rumor at Beaufort that Charleston had been illuminated and. four hundred guns fired, by way of rejoicing over English recognition ... « A Turin letter says: “ A singular inciden occurred at Turin on the occasion of the Princess Pia’s marriage. The clergy of the Cathedral, which is the parish church of the palace, refused to celebrate the marriage in the oharoh on the ground that it;was to be effected by proxy. The clergy, nevertheless, presented for the royal signature an ordor for 20 000 f.. the usual fee for a royal mar riage. The King,.however, instead of affixing his signature to the order, drew his pen through it and returned it to the Bishop of Biella, who vainly endeavored tp persuade his Majesty to change a deoision which bo bad taken, because he con sidered the refusal to celebrate the marriage as an insult to himself."

They are charged with leaving their posts without leave, and for conduct unbecoming officers and gentlemen, in speaking with disrespect of their superior officers, and con duct prejudicial to the maintenance of order and discipline in ihe army. Colonel Colburn received a communication, on Saturday, from the Adjutant General, directing him to inform General Burnside why he had left the Army of the Potomac without permission. lie replied that ho had done so with the consent of General McClellan; that he was always considered by the General as bolongi-g to his personal staff, and that nearly the entire bulk of eiders emanating from General McClellan passed through bis (Colburn’s) hands, and were delivered by him. lie was always recognised as a a aid of General McClellan, In snoh a capacity he left the Army of the Potomac with McClellan. Owing to the alleged condition of demoralization of the troops that were surrendered at Harper’s Ferry, it is reported that about five thousand of them will be mustered out of the service; The Overthrow of the Admiuistra- tion.” Wbat do tbe enemies of the country hope to gain by organizing an opposition against the Government? Even supposing them a ma jority In Congress and in the Legislatures of the Northern States, wbat can they do to aid the Union or suppress the rebellion, coramit ted%s they are to compromise, conciliation. separation.Jand a dishonorable peace? ‘-We belong to the Opposition,” Mr. Van Bi/rkn said, substantially,dn' his,last speech,“ and we intend to oppose the Administration. It is not for us to have a policy. That is the duty of the Administration, and wo have only to op pose it in a fair and honorable, way.” Mr. Cha»les Inceesoil presented the same ar gument when he declared his purpose to be the “overthrow of the Administration,” bat no? “ the overthrow of the Governmsnt.” Mr. is - more violent, for he pur somo Cromwkw, into the Capi tol to -disperse Congress and to compel Mr. Lincoln to adopt his “sword and olive-branch” policy. In plain words, Mr. Van Blren, who is mild, merely wishes tho Government to be overthrown by the ballot, while Mr. Wood, who is extreme and violent, would use the sabre and bullet. These two opinions link together the odds and ends of the Oppo sition party, and comprise every opinion re - presented in its ranks, They differ as to the acrimony and extent of their enmity to the cause, but upon one point: they all agree, and that is, that the Jldministralion mxtst be over thrown.. Let; us suppose a calamity, which the good ness of God can never permit—the overthrow oi the Administration. What is to come after 1 Cbomwell has driven the Senators and Representatives from their chambers, and soldiers with fixed bayonets have pursued them through the grounds, under the shadow of the classical figure of Washington, that looks'with the eye of Jupiter into the ever lasting air, and. down the rugged and steep slope that leads from Capital Hill. In order to leave no blotches in the work, Cromwell has taken the President and sent him under a guard to, the oid Capitol Prison, having re leased the traitors there confined as erring and wayward brothers, whose incarcera tion is no longer necessary. Of course, means would be attempted to esta blish Cromwell’s power in the Northern cities. In Philadelphia wo should have a Military Governor, Mr. Hughes, perhaps,' with Mr. Reed as a provost- marshal—a posi tion . for which his long experience as a criminal prosecuting attorney would abun T dantly fit him. If Robert Tyler could. be obtained from Richmond he would be more acceptable, and perhaps Mr. Davis would gladly get rid of our late fellow-citizen as an unprofitable - burden upon his treasury. Cromwell would certainly .avail himself of the great experience of the venerable ex- President' Buchanan, whose achievement in holding the Republic by the throat until its •enemy had sharpened bis knife and stabbed at its heart exhibited abilities of the highest and rarest order. As the faculties of this happy and religious 1 old gentleman are still keen he would no doubt be placed in the State Department. Should General Twiggs be alive, he might be sent for and placed in command of the defences of Washington, his diffi culty with the amiable and peaceful ex- President, out of which a duel was threat ened, being first settled. As money would foe necessary to pay these gentlemen, CaoM wsi-n would certainly legalise, the lottery busi ness, and place the chief agency in New York, with a highly respectable firm, of large expe ritECe. Boston being the cause of all the war, Fort Warren would be taken, Marshal Kane released, that he might take command of Bal timore, and a few shells thrown at Faneuil Bali. General Burnside would be ordered to abandon Virginia, General Grant would be sent back to Cairo, and General Roseor-ans directed to remain at Louisville. General Butler would be recalled in disgrace, as a coarse and violcnt mler, and Mr. Soulb sent to New Orleans to act as Military Governor. Messrs. Mason and Slidell, being far more reliable than such Abolitionists as Adams and Das ton, would be requested to represent Cro3lwei.li at the courts of Victoria and Na poleon. A few malignants, like Mr. Sbmner and Mr. Greeley, would be executed, 1 while others of a more moderate type might be sent to the different prisons. This, of course, would have a salutary effect upon the great masses of the country. Cromwell having overthrown the Adminis tration with .the sword, now sheaths the sword, and having procured an attractive olive branch, would probably endeavor to per suade Mr. Van Bur ex and Mr. Ingersoll— gentlemen whose cultivated and winning man ners and unexceptionable descent would make a great impression on the South—to go to Richmond, to confer with the erring Mr. Davis and the wayward Mr. Benjamin, It is very probable that tho misguided General Stuart and the benighted General Jackson would take advantage of the olive-branch mission to make a trip into Pennsylvania, where shoes and salt axe said to be more abundant than iu Virginia. Of course, they would be wel comed by a committee of brethren: from the Breckinridge State Central Commit tee, and, considering the fact that the shoeless soldiers were brethren and gentle men, their wants would be supplied out of our Market street stores, any unreasonable demands for compensation being met with Confederate scrip, a quantity of which could be printed at some ol our'newspaper offices, should the supply run short. In tho mean time, our “mixed society” would have the opportunity to show, by their attentions to : the erring and misguided notorieties, the grace of their accomplishments ; the extent of their magnanimity; their love for chivalrous breth ren ; their respect for the sacred institu tion of slavery, and the utter loathing and contempt which they bear fo those horrid New England Yankees. All allusions to the unfor tunate occurrences at Corinth, Perryville, Antietam, and elsewhere, would of course be avoided, out of respect for the feelings of,the guests, and especially as it is in such vulgar taste for social assemblages to discuss politics. Cromwell is in power, Mr. Lincoln is in prison, and has paced the tedious hoars away until every twig and stem on the trees across the way becomes familiar friends. Mr. Sum ner and Mr. Greeley have met the fate their great crimes deserved. Gen. Burs sidb’s army has laid down its arms as an offer of conciliation to the misguided South, the London Times is shrieking with ecstasy over the magnanimity of the North and the valor of the South, Admiral Sesimes, late of the “ Ala bama,” has relieved Admiral DuroNTat Hilton Heed, Gen. Hunter has been committed, to take Ids trial for feloniously arming certain loyal negroes atßeaufort whose masters had run away from them. Gen. Scott has been stricken from the rolls for a certain letter revealing the cour tesies of the Ex-President to the Southern Commissioners, and the olive-branch commis sioners have met a warm welcome in Rich mond. There have been one or two slight outbreaks of popular sentiment in some of the Northern cities, but the friendly aid of the shoeless brethern has repressed the revo lution after an occasional massacre. Every- : thing moves on smoothly, and the Re public is quiet. English tradesmen are carrying cotton under a Southern free trade tariff to English ports, and which there is starvation and idleness in PMU 'meaMfeic-vlCowell, Southern planters are transporting slaves from" ton, and the Southern people are growing rich while .“negotiations are pending.” Cromwell came into power as a compromising ruler, and the negotiations proceed. Mr. Davis demands that flic sacred right of slavery shall be ac knowledged, that the Confederate scrip shall he recognized as currency, that, the debt of the sovereign States of the South, in curred in maintaining their, sovereignty, shall be assumed by tho Northern States as the invading powers, and that Washing ton City being a part of Southern territory, shall become a city of the Southern Confede racy. - There could be no terms of compro mise that did not embrace all these proposi tions, for Davis has so declared it, and would most certainly exact an acquiescence in his demand. He might then permit those of Pennsylvania and Now York who think the natural interests of their States are with the Southern States, to join the fortunes of their Commonwealths with the new nation, reducing New England into a colony. The next step would be a monarchy, Davis himself as the King, the gentlemen of the South the aristo cracy, and Cromwell, as a reward for his services, and a gratification of his ambi tion, might he the suzerain of the new depen dency. . . This is a fancy sketch, but the limning gives no pleasure. We would rather not contem plate such things, hut our desire is to show the people how anarchy, usurpation, and civil war may come from any successful overthrow of tho present Administration. When it fails, liberty falls; for, by it alone, liberty is sus tained. When we paralyze its arm, the sword drops—we are unavenged—the enemy comes upon us unrebuked, and treason becomes patriotism. The power to protect and defiend is lodged in the of the United States, and those associated with him in the military and civil de partments of the Government. We can only be defended and protected by sustaining that power. Let the Administration be over thrown, say the enemy, but who will take the place of the Administration ? Who will then protect a demoralized and disheartened North' against a united South? Will it he some CisostwKT.r, in onr midst, like tho one wo have drawn—a man combining all; the audasitv and power of the great cap tain, without his sin cerity and justice, or Jefferson Davis him self, the leader of this causeless rebellion, and the most infamous traitor in history '? Let it be Jefferson Davis, by all means, for if the party opposed to the Administration suc ceeds, he is the only person living who should enjoy the triumph. Belgium and the South Itwas scarcely to be anticipated that the South, placing easy credence iu the assertions ® ankb ß s j on- his retarn-*from Europe, (where Messrs. Mason amp Slidell repudiated his pretence of being an ambassa dor, or even agent,) should expect an early re cognition from Belgium, and, as the last ac counts state, bo surprised that King Leopold has not already sent a Minister Plenipotentiary and Extraordinary to his Highness, Jefperson Davis, presently of Richmond. It happens that Belgium is about the last sovereign power of Europe at all' likely to take the initiative in so important a matter as the recognition of a rebel Confederacy. It has enterprise, in dustry, and probity, but, with limited territory and a very small marine, national or mercantile, it is only a third-rate power.' If, in council, in diplomacy, it is frequently accepted as higher, this is chiefly due to the personal influence of King Leopold, to the sagacity of his mind, the wisdom of his advice,, and the -assured pru dence of his character. When England and -I* ranee, Prussia and Austria, Russia and Spain, are in council upon Confederate recognition, assuredly Belgium would not push before all or any of these Powers, by acknowledging the South. . , . ; .. Fortunately, the intended policy of Belgium has : been placed upon record long ago. In May, 1861, when Mr. Sanford, United States Minister to -Belgium, had his first audience with King Leopold, on presenting his letter ! of credence, his Majesty expressed a general regard for this country, a desire to see our civil war satisfactorily brought to an early: peaceful issue, and a wish to see Belgium and the United States connected, much more than they are, by trade and commerce. Monarchs, for the most part, are non-commit tal, and generalize when they have to speak upon delicate subjects, which diplomacy may have to deal with in a tangible manner. But the Baron Adolphe de Vriere, who is Leopold s Minister Tor Foreign Affairs, put the matter very plainly before Mr. Sanford, some few days after; the latter’s audience with the King. He said that up to that date, ’ ;rv : —: . 1 ..! 11 ■; ”■* (May 28, 1881,yao one, on the part of'“ the Confederate States”’ had applied to Belgium for a recognition; and that such-ah applica tion would not be entertained had iit been made. “ The revolution," he, should have called it (he rebellion, “would receive no sanction by any act of Belgium. A small State,” he continued, “ whose pros perity depended on the full exercise of the industrial pursuits of its people/they did not mingle in foreign politics, their policy being P°f fq imperii their interests by stepping be yoiad fhe limits of strict neutrality in . their intercourse with other States. They should therefore have remained neutral in respect to this question. They had not even yet recog nised the Italian' Government.” If Belgium had waited two years before recognizing such an accomplished fact as the full establishment of the Italian Kingdom of 1859, we may pre sume that her sagacious ruler will not hasten to recognize the mere efforts of Rebellion, in the South. Mr. George N; Sanders, it seems tons, went on a wrong line when he told the South to-roly upon early recognition by Belgium, the most conservative of all the European Powers, and the most unlikely to l*ad in any important matter. It appears that the South counts upon this adhesion of Bel gium; that it places confidence in the asser tions of Sanders : « And they believe Mm! oh, the-lover may Elairost that look which steals his soul away ! The babe may cease to think that it can play WRh Hea-ren’B rainbow ; a!clu mists may donht The shining gold their cmclbSe gives out, ' But Faith, fanatic Faith, once wedded fast To some dear falsehood, hugs It to the last.” LETTER FROM ©CCASIONAL." Washington, Nov. 17,1862. The fall elections having been decided, we can now turn our attention to the issues and duties which these elections temporarily set aside. First of all, let us look the subject of a peace with the rebels squarely in the face. There can be no such thing till either the right side or the wrong side secures, the mas tery by the gage of battle. If the slave aristocrats are powerful enough to dis grace and defeat the Government and the armies of a free people, unto them be t the results of their prowess; and if, on the other hand,-the palm of victory shall be awarded to us, we achieve our perpetual release from a despotism baser and bloodier than any that ever survived for the execration of man-:, kind. At last, foreign nations begin to see that peace can only be reached in this ' way.* Anxious to help the slave tyrants, they finally realize that the recognition of the rebel Confederacy will only necessitate Intervention, and develop more formidable re sources in Sie Northern States than those" which have already startled, and alarmed the civilized world. When England is convinced that any peace on this basis will only have the effect of extending tho devastation of the Southern cotton fields, and of annihilating al dissensions in the North, she will abandon the whole idea of mediation or interference, and leave the combatants to themselves. And between these combatants it seems to be fairly understood that the war is to go on, until the one or the other is exhausted. Tho question is, can the North be exhausted? No sane man clasess such a sequel among the pos sibilities, while all honest observers mast ad mit, however prejudiced they may he, that the revolted States are approaching that crisis of their decease, from which nothing can rescue them but a sudden and commanding victory. The territory they occupy has been swept almost clean by the weapons of both the Union and the traitor armies. Every harvest, whether that gathered in battle or taken for the maintenance of their armies, has been used or consumed by them, and wherever new expanses are ottered for occupation and conquest, as in far-off Texas, it is not the rebel but the Union armies that will securely hold them. Besides, as the soldiers who fight for the Republic are deprived of their sup plies, they are regularly resupplied by a gene rous Government; while the rebels who have. ; robbed their own_peoDlc_for their_subsistence.. cannot feed themselves save from the treasures : !B*em,sraiva.. l uir^ uu .- C rdry'i’i?5 ri siqtffi r gI % nor suffering come in to complete their desne ration and to hasten their overthrow " ' I know -how -well .these men have fought in - the months goneiovr> in thebattle whichns now supposed to be close;; upon us, that; they will fight bravely again; but the facts I have stated are conclusive that ” their exhaustion is. so great, that they cannot in the nature of things maintain the conflict. The cprtainty that thore can bo no peace until -they are conquered, or until the free States aTe conquered, is now indelibly written on their hearts. They can take no hope from the Northern elections. If Mr. Lincoln were turned out of the Presidency to-morrow, by any process, revolutionary or legal, the man or men who followed-him would be forced by public sentiment to fight against the rebels, with vigorous persistence and unfaltering in trepidity.:' I believe that the Union forces on: land and sea will soon achieve some great ad vantages ; but whether they do or not, there can be no peace until the rebels wholly sub mit, or are thoroughly exhausted, whether the war closes in six months or is continued for six years. Occasional. ! It is most gratifying to show,-by indisputa ble, facts and figures, that the great brokers, hankers, and capitalists of our country h tve come forward cn masse, exhibiting patriotic interest and unshaken confidence in our Go vernment by bidding for the new “Seven- Thirty Loan Bonds,” at a fractional portion of a cent per centum premium in some, and three per centum in a majority of instances. This is a powerful argument in favor of the recent measures of our Government to inau gurate a more vigorous prosecution of the war, and bring it to a speedy and honorable termination. Parable of the Virgins. An oil painting, by W. B. Winner—his last; and' one of his best—is now on exhibition at Messrs. Earle & Son’s gallery. Chestnut street, and is justly attracting the favorable notioe of oOSSoiSSCars and the ait-admiring public in general. The subject ot the picture is the Parable of “ Tho Ten Virgins,” recorded in Matt, xxv., 1-13, and its treatment is a forcible and impressive exposition of the text. Whilst the entire ten appropriately express the peace and joy of being “ ready ” on the one hand, and the folly and consequent remorse of being found unprepared on the other, it is in the two central figures that the contrast and spirit of the scene are most strikingly portrayed. Tho expression of con sciots readiness and porfeot preparation for the bridegroom’s coming, mingled with the reproving look of “Not so, lest there be not enough for -us and you,” is wrought in every feature of the: re-, preventative of the wiser five, whilst anxiety, bor dering on despair, is no less truthfully depicted in the face of the other, in the act of saying “ Qire us your oil, for our lamps are gone out.” The costumes, relative position, and. attitude of the parties; tbe blending of colors, the varied expres- Bionsof face, embodying in their variedness but the two emotions of “ conscious peace ” and tho “fear ful looking for of judgment,” as well as tho apees sories introduced by Mr. Winner, all reflect credit upon his talents and skill in Ihis somewhat difficult branch of art. ; -. Continental Monthly for Dbcehbbr.—From ■ 8.-Pugh, Chestnut street, who generally con trives to anticipate other periodical vendors, we have the Continental Monthly, closing the second volume. There are fewer political papers than usual this month; the writers are Robert J. Walker, F. P. Stanton, and Horace Greeley. The article on ‘- Gold,” by Mr. Walker, is extremely well-timed, and contains a good practical suggestion for assimi lating theU. S. gold coinage with tha,t of England, the latter country being about adopting the decimal system. A .reminiscent article on the University of Cambridge gives some good and new anecdotes of Byron, Coleridge, and Bulwer. Mr. Kirke’s “Merchant’s Story ” continues to sketch Southern life, and “Was He Successful,” the new novel by Mr. Kimball, also advances with increasing inte rest. Mr. C. G, Leland’s prose paper, on “ The. Ash Tiee,” shows the writer as much at home in the forest as in the library. The Editor’s Table is better than usual, but is still only a deadly-lively imitation of B. G. Clark’s genial gossip in the Knickerbocker. We miss Mr. H. P. Boland’s Ita lian sketches, entitled “ Maocaroni and Canvas."

Observing indications of the enemy, the following dis position of our forces was made, under tbs direction of Genera! McPherson. Colonel Johnson, in the advance, marched two miles sonth of Old Lamar, and there hatted. Colonel Pngh. bolding the intermediate position, moved one mils south of the town, and these halted his com mand. General Teach, with the rear, occupied the town. Our troops were no sooner in those positions than the enemy discovered himself in our front, on tha right of the advance, under Colonel Pngh. Two companies, sup ported by the entire regiment, were deployed as skir mishers, in order to feel the enemy’s precise locality, and to invite att'opening of the enga? ement. About half a mile from our advance he was discovered, in considera ble force, his lines extending along the Ho!!y-8prtags road, which, a abort distance before us, turned abruptly toward the west. The purpose of the enemy at onoe be came apparent to General McPherson, and the positions given above were immediately uhosea. Our skirmishers did not fail to elicit the purpose of their deployment, and at once the engagement began, part of the artillery being actively engaged in advance. M< an while, Colonel lee, according to Instructions, made a deionr with bis cavalry down a real running sooth, then wheeled to. the right and directed hioself upon the enemy ’s rear, which he struck midway between Ibe right and leit, cutting their lino into two parts. At this moment the fire "opened from’our cavalry In their rear and infantry In aivauco Xa this predicament the rebels chose their only reeort, and broke and fled "in great dismay, directing their flight northward, through a cotton field. General McPherson, seeing immediately the opportu nities to inflict a sevorer.blow.Jit once ordered two com panies from* General Teach’s command to'deptoy an up right of his position. The movement wat executed with alacrity, and spread greater consternation among the fugitives upon the ciscovory of this fresh fire from so un expected a qusirter. -T J m“-“‘“”*- , ‘ U >avalry.took the road sciirretl hasH iy tor rointo ouvof range AmlOßTep B'yseveral of their 1 aovsneo horses brought men and animals to tho ground, The impediment thus unwarily introduced brousht Bcores of mez! and horses to the earth-in one confused and jtofggHnrmasg.- -• Btralgnt-imo _rtwc.ttt reyersed their route, and took si cavalry closely pursued Oar penetrated their camp on that Btream, andadyaocw wiihin five miles of their position at Holly Springs.

These Indiana reside in the : southeast por - hc-n of this Territory and In Texas, but keep; up a con atant intercourse with the Jlllicorra Apaobei, who re sidein the northeast, and with the Gila. Apaclios in the southwest. The Pecos l-iyer formed their line of com munication with the Jiliicorres, and, consequently, they pass by or near Fort Stanton These three bands of Apaches are never, at war with the citizens at the same lime.. On the contrary, when one is at war the other two aro at peace, or pretend to bo friendly 5 but at the same time they invariably act as guides to lead the warriors upon tho docks and usdefandod points of the country. ■ DANGERS OF TRAVEL The Sluscoleros are now at war, and the Jilli. corns are atpeace, yet a month has not elapsed since four Mexicans, have been killed in travelling tho trail from Tsios to Mora, in tho country of the latter Indians. Over this trail lire mail is carried weekly; and men are psssing neaily every day.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS SEE POEP.TH PAGE. Thi Mahufaotitre of Paper The present high price >of paper will doubtless be produitivo of at least one benefit, in exercising the inventive faculties of - our people to find a substitute for the constituents now used in the ma nufacture of that article. Its consumption in this country, has been fer years in excess of the supply; 1 This fact was conclusively proven in 1854, when the ad vance in the price of paper was so great that weekly newfjournals were compelled to reduce their sizsandin ciease tbrfr rates or go into Jiqhidatibn. During that year more than a million dollars’ worth of rags were im ported iLto this country, and the curious traffic In the tatters of all nations has increased from year to year,, until we are now importing at tho rata of two million dollars per annum. The desperate attempts to provide an equivalent for rags have bo far rssuUfd in failnce and personal losb to the experimenter. The Chinese have bean mafcieg paper from reeds, bamboo, rushes, and'tile stalk of wild and tame grasses, for more than fourteen centuries. In fact, so many substances are employed in that Empire, that each pro. vince has a variety of paper peculiar to itself. In Fo- Kien,-lor instance, the material most used is the stalk of tbs young bamboo, which, by maceration, bleaching, the use of alkalies, boiling, and beating, is made into a stout, serviceable paper. The soft, velvety rice paper, on which the Chinese; paintings of flowers, birds, sects, and club-footed female beauties are made, Is’pro duced from the stems of a hardy leguminous plant which grows abundantly on the marshy plains of Baa gel, and about the lakes of Cedcu*ta, The Japanese use . the inner hark of four or five species of trees, and make paper of all qualities, from the thinest and finest to the heavier sorts “which are used for clothing, and can hardly be told from silken or woolen staffs. It is stated, upon reliable authority, that one hundred and three different substances have already been experi .men.tea jHirfous countries by paperjnakeni. _Ths snh3tance, which is now generally supposed to eontain in. an extraordinary degree those qualities most essential in the manu&etnre of paper, is known as corn stalk. A series of experiments with tide material have however, Eeiledi to produce from the silkiest com inuk a fibre as smooth, strong, and tender as those of flax or cotton. 2 ho inventor has one thing In his favor in the simplicity and cheapness of his process for separating the fibre. He claims that “ the humblest laborer can learn the pro -<Saa.jri'en he has been once instructed verbally or in itself facturers can produce hundreds of cwts' daily in steam boiiets.’ The Razes Homicide Case.—This case came up again last evening, at T o’clock, at the Central Station. The following statements were made: Mrs. Cambio testified that the deceased had been boarding at her house; that on his rc‘urn home he only complained of Mb tooth paining him; that his face ap peartd much swollen, bat she oid not disturb him while he was lying in bis room; when she entered it at half past ten fiaturdsy morning he was dead ; he went to bed immediately on his return heme; when ehe found him he was lying behind the door: she had heard a noise in his room, and came down after Bhe had retired to bed, in order to see what was the matter; when she came down he was in another room, but said that ,he was in bfcO. H, Shannon was next sworn.—Resides at 25 North street; when; returning from the office, ecmewhaS after ileyen, he heard a noise at theKassnth Sale on; he saw a party of men, one of whom he re marked as being rasher stent: thought he remembered to have seen him on she reserve police; the stout man standing on the edgeof the curb stone pushed tba soldier with his left band,- and made a pass at him with his right; police came np, and the noise stopped; eight or ten men were round the deceased at once: did not see him after he was knocked do to ; did not know the man who was struck at 5 did not tee more thaujone struck at, and did not know Imtz; half the saloon rushed into the street. - James Patterson, residing at Philip street and Co lumbia avenue, was one of the waiters in the Kossuth Saloon. He said he went outside to take a bill- board in; three eoldlers stopped at the door; they spoke to Esher; Esher said he wanted five cents apiece; one of tbe soldiers was going to pay. Dnt another said they would go in without paying; witness was than toid to go to Seventh and Chestnut streets for an officer; came back, and saw a crowd in the street; inside the saloon saw Fleming’s nose bleeding. James Keene, residing at 1520 Sansom street, testified that Chambers was "blacked up” from a quarter past 8 to ien miuntea of 12; knew nothing about the matter . until he saw Fleming with his nose bleeding; Fleming said it was given him in putting out two men; Chambers was not outsidethe building all tbe time. : Wrn J. Taylor saw soma soldiers coming down the steps; doorkeeper said he must have the regular admis sion iee, or they must go out; somebody was told,to go afteraji officer, and the soldiers wsre pushed upithe steps. , The case was here adjourned until this evening at seven o’clock. There appears to be room for further developments, and, if any there be, they will probably be presented to day.

Occasionally a family carriage with i s fall complement of occupants Imrrleßthrongh the park, on a hasty tour of observation; now and then a company of soldiers visit the place for practice In target shooting and other military exercises; bnt apart from these excep tional inoidentß, the park presents an exceedingly exclu sive and solitary appearance. Family excursions, . pleasure drives, and rowing matches on the river, have ended for the season; even the German festivalsi at Bggiesfield, on the opposite bank, have been discontinued—the unavoidable result being appaient in the diminished receipts of the railway com panies having their terminus at Fairmount.
