Uorne weeks ago wo observed in this column that Che oainpaign inaugurated by Q-en. MoClellan with tho intention of seir.ing the Blue Ridge gaps, and tnarohing upon the enemy’s communication and lines of retreat between ,G ordonsvillo and Char lottesville, was ended, for the hopod-for result was not obtained —Gonernl Leo and his army having reached Gordonsville in safety before our advanced cavalry had reached a point within twenty miles of it, and it booanre optional with Loo to fight a battle with our superior torocs, at the foot of the mountain, or fall back slowly and securely to his fortified base at Richmond. As it was most im politic in she rebel commander to risk a heavy en gagement with little hope of success, ho has re treated to his capital, leaving a force in the Shenan doah Valley as an army of observation and occu pation for foraging and obtaining information. The advantages of moving to Fredorioksburg are very evident. It may be no bettor or safer point from which to operate against Richmond than Cul peper, because the former position may be as easily turned or flanked as tho latter. But Frede ricksburg is an excellent po’nt for a supply depot, because wo can use the Potomac and Rappahan ,nook rivers for the transportation of supplies all the winter through, assisted by the railroad from Acquia Creek. Again, the difficulty of wagitlg war in Virginia renders it necessary that a large army in aotivo operation should' be instantly connected with its supply depot by a railroad, and this will be found leading from Fredericksburg all the way te Richmond. Two days’ march along this road will bring our army to a point where it can ob tain supplies from points on the Ware, York, Janies, and Rappahannock rivers. Throe or four days’ march from Fredericksburg will bring us in front of Richmond again, and give the Army , of the Fotomao a r'oinforoement of 50,000 men, besides wooden and iron-clad gunboats in abun • dance This route is the short ono also, and by taking it,wo Torce the rebels immediately from . the SUchandoah valley and open the road to Staun ton for General Cox. THE NEWS. Tub formidable iron-olad steamer Roanoke, now finishing at the Brooklyn navy yard, and which is to bo ready for service within a - short time, has been definitely assigned by the Government to the defence of the harbor of New York. Her officers will net under the direction of Commodore Paulding. In connection with this important movement Collector Barney has been authorised to employ two or three of the revenue cutters in guarding the entrances to the harbor for the special purpose of giving timely notice of the approach of any hostile fleet Of course this is only a precau tionary measure, and by no means implies an im mediate or even remote danger. ■ : The result of the election in Illinois, with only four small counties to hear from, is a Democratic majority of 16.567. The Congressional ’delegation will stand nine Democrats to four Republicans, The Republican majority in 1860 was a little over 14,000. A remarkable fact in this eleolion is that ryhilo l ' Egypt,” the old Democratic stronghold, does better than usual for the Republicans, the central counties have given way and cast large De mocratic majorities. The graveyard at the southwest of the town of Warren ton, Virginia, attests how fearful has been the mortality among the Confederates. In this cemetery there are over a thousand new made graves, the most of them being men from the Cotton States. Georgians, from the inscriptions on the rough head-boards, seem to be in the majority. How the soldiers from this State have suffered since the war broke out! The mass of the rebel troops at ‘ Antietam were from Georgia. Fresh garlands of flowers are placed daily on many of these graves, by the ladies afflioted.with Secesh proclivities. 6 Bare. Gen.

Mitohel went to Port Royal fie had presentiment thathe would not livelong.. Just as he was leaving Albany, he said to a friend that it was not likely he should see him again, as he . felt a strong conviction that he should fall a victim either to the climate or the bullots of the rebels. --^Ch&gg«A-rictlv> | or^ , VT^ Hon. Wm. Jaynb, Governor of Dakotah and delegate (elect) to Congress from that Territory, arrived in Springfield (111.) on Friday last, having come by way of St. Paul. Governor Jayne states that tho extent of the Indian massacres in Minne sota and Dakotah have never yet been fully esti mated. He believes the number of persons killed •will not fall far short of one thousand. The massa ores extended over the country betwoon Fort Aber crombie and the northern line of lowa, a distance of not less than two hundred miles. The dead bodies of iheviotimsof the massacre aro still be ing found in the region desolated by the savages. The feeling among the citizens of Minnesota and Dakotah against the savage murderers is intense, and they will be satisfied with nothing loss than the infliction of the fullest punishment required by law. To Richmond. The Army of the Potomac has again changed' its base of operations. If requires no very profound acquaintance with military science to account, important movement. The reasons influencing General Burnside may readily be understood, and, indeed, were fore seen some days since, both in the Forth and South, by those who scanned closely the de velopments of the campaign. It might even be saidj with truth, that the route now decided, on was .advocated months ago as the most practicable and promising; and certainly it can not prove less favorable to our operations than the others that have been tested and have miserably failed. From the present auspicious aspect of the situation, we might speak with more hopeful enthusiasm; but military atfair3 are, of all human efforts, the most incaleu. lable in result, and, admonished by experience, our prosy caution prefers to let the future speak,in its achievements. Practically, "Washington is still the base from which General Burbsibe operates.; How shall the army be moved forward from this bsfje to the rebel capital? Military strategy ljgg thrice attempted to answer this question •tp.thersittisfactibn of the Northera paople, but 'in vain., -Mathematical strategy suggests, ab ' stractedly, that a straight line over.has been, and ever will be, the shortest distance between two peints. General Burnside, not the less a soldier that he understands the first lesson of mathematics, accepts the suggestion in a kindly spirit. He glances at his map, and sees that from Washington to Richmond it is almost a straight line via Fredericksburg. The line is not absolutely, rigidly, fanatieally straight, but is just sufficiently bow-shaped to. give it a graceful, tolerant, and easy‘look. Therefore, selecting this route to Richmond, Gen.-BußNsniE prefers it, to a curving around Fortress Monroe, or an acute angle via Gor donsville." The advantages likely to result from this predilection of General Burnside are many and important. The army is now at leastsixty miles .nearer Its destination, its line of com munication is secured beyond the possibility of interference from the rebel General Jack son; it cannot possibly be delayed for want of supplies, and it is no longer crippled in its movements by the necessity of defending Washington. These are the more apparent advantages, and highly significant as they are, there are others of much greater value, which maybe reasonably anticipated., Gen. Burnside has flanked the rebel position at Gordonsville, which may already be abandoned by General Lee, or must be speedily. Lee can reach Richmond sooner than our army, but SxoNK v Jackson cannot. All his movements being closely watched by General Sidip, on whom the defence of Washington 5 immediately devolves; and it is not at all , ; improbable that the fate of «the dcbmed city ” will now be decided, without the wily rebel general who is now penned up in the She- nandoah, miles aWay, .being consulted, on the m'omentous subject. . After all the boasts, which-the rebels have indulged in, that they could always avail themselves of the policy of ' concentration, by virtue of their interior lines, the present situatjon of their armies is as novel as it is assuring to ourselves. The only two commands on which they can rely for the do. fence of their capital, are .one hundred,and fifty miles apart; with the peaks of the Bine Ridge interposed between them as a barrier. The policy of rapid concentration is doubtless a very excellent one, but it is slightly incon venient of execution when a mountain range beautifies or erobarrassos the topography. We are nearer Richmond by sixty- miles— <e a degree," in scientific language. Unless all the signs .should fail, we are in truth a degree noarcr the accomplishment of the work we have set our hearts and wilting hands upon. We havo gained more than sixty miles of dis tance ; we have shortened tho campaign, by more than a three-days’ march, perhaps. It. is almost impossible that the final struggle for the possession of the rebel capital can be much, longer averted,'however desperate the condi tion of our enemies, or able the minds which control their movements. That struggle may come before the present--week has ended; it must come speedily, or Jaokson, with bis accustomed celerity, will-succeed in making a junction with Lei;, in which case a,, bloody, but indecisive, battle would probably ■ result. To avoid such fruitless waste of life, which embitters without shortening the war, we have confidence that General Burnside will continue his rapid advance. The winter will speedily lock tho “ situation” in a rigid embrace, and clog the grand opportunity that now invites our army. At any moment the route that curves so gently southward from Acquia Creek may be crossed at right anglos by Lee’s battle array, or wholly veiled from view in tbc dust of his trampling legions. And be cause this may be so, because the grand trialpf strength mnst take place, north of Richmond, before msßy days shall pass, -we hail the change of base as a sure precursor of the-fitial victory. Lee has allowed himself to'be out generaled, and wq have now somo assurance that to om-.celeJgimUon-of the coming Christ mas season, ife'cM-imte a jubilee of Rich mond’s downfall, and with v it, the fall of this .atrocious rebellion. ■ . -cc ■ ' , J A Love-Feast Reading. We:have been, honoretfwifh a full roport of a recent demonstration at Reading on the part of the Democracy of-’that’noble city. It seems to havo been a jubilee on a smaller scale than, the recent affair in Philadelphia, at which' James Buohanan. did not attend. Mr. Getz makes mention of the fact that thore was a “bountiful supper,” and that over- four hun dred persODs partook of the good cheer, which •is a great deal more than many reliable Demo crats find it in their power to say. Mr. Akcona presided, while-Mr. Getz was per mitted to act as secretary. . We should judge -that this distinguished journalist was the author of the toasts that were of fered on the occasion. They have an edito rial look about thorn, and seem to, have done service in larger typo than that in-which we read them. We are told, fhr instance, that the Democracy now “presents to the world an unbroken phalanx ol kindred souls, that can never be enslaved,” and the habeas cor pus is compelled to do duty as “ the sheet anchor of our hopes.” Pennsylvania is of course “redeemed, regenerated, and disen thralled.” The Democratic party is repre sented as a ship, while our soldiers are said to be fighting only “ in patient submission to the inexorable law which drags them from their homes.” As this latter remark can only re fer to the draft in Berks, and the necessity for filling a large quota by conscription, we take it to be in very bad taste on the part of Mr. Getz, and an unjust aspersion upon the courage and loyalty of his follow-Democrats to make such an ungenerous insinuation. The gay and festive party were favored with a cumber of letters from distinguished Derno ersts, all of which were read at a late hour i*»tho evening. Among thorn epistles from Mr. Citakles Ingehsoll, Mr. Wm. B. Reed, (of course), and R. Emmett Monaghan, Esq. These letters are dulyprinted. Mr. iNGErtsor.L’s 1 letter characteristically recommends that the Democratic successes be celebrated “ with tears of joy,” and proceeds to denounce the Government in bitter terms. Mr. Lincoln came into power with “ heathen oaths,’’’'which is only a gentle hint that our worthy President is in the habit of appealing to .Tupiter instead of. a Christian deity; and not only this—and here’we beg attention to. the purity of Mr, | Ingeusoll’s rhetoric—“ bat his Administra tion has become a tyrant to individuals and a nightmare to his country.’? In order to get rid of this horfible “ tyrant and nightmare,” Mr. Ingeksoll proposes a Convention. “We have called Conventions,” he- says',- in an out burst. of.felicitdus indignation’, “ to tinker our institutions; let us call one to.renew oarti berties.” “ Whatl would fainurge.npon you;” he goes on to say, “ is that we ought to have, and as soon as possible, call a Convention of the people of Pennsylvania; a Convention for the re integration of our individual freedom, and our in ooiYxo-lropT7-of reataringXlLo" Union; of which there is not the remotest chance by any other means, than that of .Con ventions of the people of the States, to he fol lowed, 7 trust, by an assembly of the same kind of the whole North.' 17 Mr. Reed is more diplo matic than his companion. Ho does not ac cuse Mr. Lincoln of worshipping Jupiter, nor does he even call him “ a tyrant and a nightmare,” but is extrornely plaintive andsad. The North, he says, which is “weary of debt and taxation, of the tax collector and the re cruiting sergeant—weary of the ambulance of the wounded and the hearse of the dead— will i hail with* ecstasy beyond control tho hour when ; flags of permanent truce shall be displayed at ! Washington and Richmond. lam old enough to remember the peace of 1815, and the joy it excited ; but it was as nothing in compari son with what ours will he when this brothers’ war is over.” After speaking of this war for the Union as a “dreary conflict,” he tells the Democratic party that its duty will bo to-hold the Administration to a stem account, and proposes that the next Legislature shall be i come “ the Grand Inquest” for indicting all who have dared to exhibit any enthusiasm in this war. R. Emmett Monaghan, who writes from “West Chester, 2 P. M.,” and could not como on account of the snow, siid tho Democratic party had saved ns from “ de moralized, abandoned, and infidel New Eng land.” Our readers will not he surprised to hear that the meeting heard the senti ments of Mr. Ingbusoll and Mr. Reed with favor, cheered James Buchanan. “The cheers for James Buchanan wore given with unbounded enthusiasm !” ' We only allude to this happy gathering.to direct attention to the doctrines propounded by Mr. Ingersom. and Mr. Reed, the leaders of the Democracy in Pennsylvania. These men mean mischief. Intoxicated by ’ a suc cess which the absence of the soldiers from the polls enabled ,«them to obtain, they contemplate high-handed and daring mea sures. Mr. Inqersou.’s proposition means revolution, and when he talks about Conven tions of the Democracy meeting to dictate the government of this State or this Ad ministration, he proposes the rale of the mob—an armed resistance to the Government—to be plain, he proposes treason. “ Let ns,” he says, « put ourselves, for the immunity of our persons, into 'the most available and formidable position of-which we are capable—that of a Conven tion representing with unlimited powers the people -of this Commonwealth.” In other, words,, that Mr. IngerSoli,, Mr. Reed, and .their desperate followers, shall, assemble at Harrisburg, put themselves «* in. a formi dable position, 1 ’ by proclaiming martial law, assume “unlimited powers,” by arresting the Goveibbf 4Dd overthrowing the Govern ment, and, under the plea of protecting State rights, precipitate a quarrel with the Adminis tration, and call upon the Southern army to come over the border and defend State-rights in the valley of the Cumberland, as they are defending them in the valley of the Shenan doah. This is what Mr. Ingersom. means, and .In this suggestion Mr. Reed acquiesces.; Let us he frank with these gentlemen, and say that ,it is about time these doctrines were hushed. When they propose Conventions with “un limited powers,” let them look closely to all the results that may come. While they are. plotting to overthrow the Government, let them consider'their own fate and fortunes. When the pillars of the temple fell, the author of their fall was crushed iu'the ruins.

Desertion, a prabsce wholly unjustifiable and disgraceful, and-4t all times pernicious, by the influence -'.of to tiie morale, of an army, has becomfe so frequent of. late, and so utterly beyond the reach of ad monitory general orders, that'the Government has wisely determined to use more effectual jD ea us for its suppression. Notwithstanding the recent order of General Hai.lkok, requiring all officers of the Avmy of the Potomac to re join their commands ,within twenty-four hours under penalty of dismissal, which was an inti mation that active operations might be speedi ly expected, numbers of the shoulder-strapped gentry have failed to respond with any marked enthusiasm to the call. Under the regulations hereafter to be enforced, they are liable to be : arrested, and held ac countable, whenever absent from their regi ments without permission. In the rebel army, straggling is said to be punishable with death. If the punishment for desertion were equally severe in our own army,’and as rigorously dispensed, .the offence would be less common, and the discipline of the various organizations exalted to a higher standard of effectiveness. Reason Returning. We are glad to see the passenger railway corporations returning to reason. The action of the Board of Presidents in adding twenty per cent, to the rate of fare, when no other reason was assigned than that’one or two small roads were not earning tho twelvo and fifteen per cent, dividends earned by other roads, caused universal indignation, and is being repudiated by many of the lead-, ing roads. The presidents of the roads on Fourth and Eighth, Chestnut and .Walnut, Market, and Tenth and Eleventh streets, have declared they will not assent to the arrangement of the Board of Presidents. This will of course end the matter, and we shall have no such scandalous tax as that originally intended. The determination of these presidents, in repudiating this outrage, deserves the thanks of tho community.

Special Despatches to “The Press.” Washington, November 18,1882, Stringent Measures Against Delinquent Officers. General Hai.i.ecic has resolved to adopt the moßt stringent measures for-compelling officers to pay that attention to Iheir duties which natural pride and sense of duty would seem, in too many cases, unable to en force. Delinquent, commissioned officers are to be tftugbt, by prompt and iucxorablo punishment, that their superior rank, and the higher intelllgonco it should srsue, wilt, cniy bo regarded as aggravations of every funis they commit, it being resolved that tire soldiers,and nou-c’mmuisioned officers of our armies shall h&vß ho reason to complain of being held accountable for offen ces .which are committed with impunity- by those who thonld set. them examples-of strict subordination and discipline. .

Indeed, the rumor prevails, and there is reason to believe that mors than a thousand commissioned officers are now absent without leave, and so reported, all of whom will be dismissed under circumstances attaching disgrace to their names, and leaving them no possibility for a return to the ser vice, or any other employment under the National Government. One of the favorite subterfuges practised by officers anxious to skulk from their duties has been to quit their commands on a surgeon’s certificate, or on a pretended leave of absence, signed by some subordinate officer, coloae), or brigadier, who had no power to give it, and thee, if discovered, urge the plea of ignorance of the orders and regulations on this subject. But all leaves of absence, to be of avail, must emanate from the very highest source prescribed in general orders, and ail offi cers absent on medical certificates must be sure that their certificate is issued by competent authority, and that they do not remain absent one day after being suffi ciently physically re established to join their commands, even though not re- established enough for a fall return to active duty. * While these steps are being taken with regard to the officers, measures of an equally stringent and effective character are in progress to arrest the' immense number of deserters now scattered through the country, and to hold them to the severest penalties prescribed by military law for their offences., It is the determination of the au thorities to make examples which will cause every sol dier to consider seriously before exposing himself to the chance of an infamous death, asthepeaalty for deserting his standard. Many of the men now absent are deserters irom the army in the field, and not a few of them, hired by the bounty, have enlisted in the new organizations. But their re-enlistment, as they will be taught, i, no excuse for their desertion, and all officers of the recently raised regiments, knowing such deserters to be in their ranks, and hot senClng , them back under guard to their old commands, will be held strictly responsible. Others of those row absent are men who were discharged from hospitals to t return to their regiments, bat who have skulked to jheir homes. All of the above classes are de serters, and wilt be punished as such. Bnt there is.yet’ another class, and one to which no mercy will be shown, viz : those who joined hew regiments .recently recruited, received .the enormous bounties given, and then deserted before the regiments had been placed lit the field. The country has suffered most deeply from ihs latter class, various States having .paid booh ties for. their mil quotas, while tbeir effectiye force reported at headquarters of the army is still short by many thousands of the required numbers. . - It is aaid on high authority that the President, on be tog shown recently by the S<cretary ofWar andgeoeral to-chief the immense lists, of deserters and roll calls of! .absentees, sternly pledged himself hereafter to pursue the moat rlgorona policy with these offenders, ard that by executions, dismitsals, ball and chain labor for the whole term of their enlistments, aid other of the yovoral penaliiea, he U reaolred to de prive the rebels of the great advantage they-have hereto fore erjoyed over ns In the'meaoa necessary to preserve discipline, aid prevent the Crimea of stragsltog, absan teeism,. and desertion. In view of these facta, the hope is expressed that the public wiil constitute itself a great moral police to oxpose and shame back to doty all offi cers end men who cannot ‘prove* incontestably that they have the authority mui- ed by army order* and regula tions for their absence from their commands. •?

They are complex in point of fact, for the reason they Involve pitociptes of inter national law. But this is always going on, especially in a time of war or blockade. Old cases are disposed of, and new ones come up daily. The sending of a commissioner to Hew Orleans, and the appreciation of his impartial report npon the subjects which he examined according to the strictest principles of law, is regarded here as an earnest of the Administra tion to act with circumspection and justioo regarding ail matters in which diplomatic relations are involved .

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF THE PASSENGERS — HEROIC CONDUCT OF THE ENGINEER. [From tbo Harrisburg Telegraph of Hondiy evening ] Tbe passenger train cine hero on Saturday morniog on tbe Pennaylvsnia.Baiiroad did not arrive until evening about five o’clock. It left Pittsburg on Friday afternoon nearly an hour after its usual starting time, owing to some detention on tbe connecting railroads, bat every thing seemed right nntil the arrival near Lilly station, Eome eight miles from Oiesson, where the train was brought to a stop by the announcement that a freight train was off the track seme two miles ahead. - The pas senger train was drawn over the mountain by two large locomotives, end in front of the'passenger train was a very large freight train standing on the traok on a high grade. It was drawn by a very large locomotive in front and another of the same class pushing it in the rear. The front locomotive had been detached from the train in order to aid the freight train ahead on the track, and the rear locomotive w.saleo detached and taken down the grade ,in order to shift it on the other track. While this process-was going on, and when the rear lo comotive was nesrly.dotvn the grade and in front ef the two locomotivetfdrawing the passenger: train, the engi neer on ihe backing locomotive, Mr. Powell Bharp, dis covered that the whole train was in rapid motion coming down the sleep grade on his locomotive, and the cars filled-with passengers. He reversed his engine in an in stant, end rushed op the grade in order to meet the ■ freight cars, and stop their descent if possible. In this he was .partially snccesslni, but after a slight check of the freight cars the whole train came down on tbe pas senger train, demolishing the locomotive with which Mr. Sharp had checked the progressol the train, and also the two locomotives which were drawing the pas senger caTB. 3 65 3.85 : 350 i 325 3 50 4 00 ; 400 312 X 1 330 3.50 1 . 3% 1 375 4 00 3 26 4 00 T . 1 ' 3.26 3.50 305 This occurred about, twelve o’clock on Friday night in the midst of the mountains, or rather a wilderness, and" the scene can be easier imagined than described. The passengers in the-train, mostly asleep in the dead hour of the night, were thus suddenly aroused and thrown from their Bests violently, and yet wonderful to relate, a lew of them were only slightly scratched about the face. There iojmiea were mostly sustained, from the irons which are placed on the back of the seats on which the passenger rests his. head., - Passengers in the train relate that the destruction of three locomotives was almost complete, together with a large number ol cars. .

W. H. Walker, arrived at this port last evening, having left Port Boyal on Saturday last. She brings no news of startling Importance. The malaria which prevailed there extensively at the time of the last departure from that port, and which had caused the death ofGeneral Mitchell and other officers,' .had, in a great measure, departed, and the exoltement incident to the breaking out of contagious diseases had almost subsided. Ever since the death of General Mitchell an almost impenetrable gloom has' hang over/ the countenances of our solliers, yet they are making immense preparations for the campaign which they are to take a part in. General Brannan is in command of all the forces, and he is well liked by the men. The report that Genera} Hunter would be placed again in command of that de partment created great joy, and his arrival was anxiously looked for. Every day reconnoitring expeditions are sent out un der command of competent officers, who generally cap ture rebel scouts and disperse bands of their cavalry, who go. roaming around the country. The soldiers have, however,, tired of this, and they are anxious to be led forth in force against the Savannah and Charleston Ballroad. What wo want is a few mor regiments, and then our soldiers are both ready and willing to be led against Beauregard’s army. The re port that the latter general had promised the people of Savannah to capture Fort Pulaski about the lTth Inst created some merriment in camp.

The {ruBSTiTUTs Business.—The pro* curmg of subalitutes for dratted men has become unite a business, and the brokers engaged in it are reaping rich harvests. ; Many persons engaged in it, however, are dishonest, and use every endeavor to persuade the eubsti tntes to desert, in order that they may again sell them selves, and thus reap a rich harvest. Finally the substi tute deserts for good, eind that is the last seen of him. This, has been done in a hundred instances. Colonel Sogebarth has lost in this way, within tho last two .reeks, neatly one hundred men, all of whom were substitutes for; drafted men j tho latter, in these oases, will have to take their did plaoes. Persons buying up substitutes' should avoid the brokers, and go to the individual him self. In this cafe they will not be so apt to be swindled In The Press of yesterday we mentioned the case of a man who wes arrested upon the charge of having de serted after having sold himself as a substitute. He is how ait the Central Station awaiting 'the action of the provost marshal. He was arrested by Win. Franks at the concert saloon in Library Btreet. When the pri soner found that he was about to be taken into custody, be ran and raised the cry of “ stop thief.” This attract ed more than usual attention, and the fugitive was the more easily arrested. It iai 'aileged that he has been pretty deep in the sub stitute business, having obtained a considerable amount of money from people in West Chester. He Mmittad (he fact that he received $2OO from a drafted man from that,place, and Intends to procure the substitute. Some folks doubt his statement, and say that he has received $1,600 from several parties, and that recently he went to Cape May county, N. J-, where he invested some of ids Enrplus revenue in a farm. He arrived from Cape May a few days since. It is known that he joined Ooionei Max Friedman’s Cavalry. On being auesiioned on this point, he says he was discharged from the regiment; bat as yet he has not shown the documentary evidonoo establishing this in teresting point. There are two or three mdlvidnals incredulous enough to believe that the “ substitute broker” deserted bis regiment. It is for this be is now a subject of the tender mercies of the provost marshal. He seems to he decidedly nervous because of his present situation. .

Many of those present were the' usnal auditors, whose Inevitable attendance upon a coroner’s imnest has become as familiar to that worthy functionary as the routine of his daily business. Some were present, attracted by a feeling of euriosl’y—sue of the too potent incitements in oases of this nature—others, there were, in whose countenances could be detected the reflection of a morbid appotita for all that savored of tho bloody and murderous. _ But two witnesses were examined. John Baugh testi fied that; In company with a friend, he was passing in the vicinity of the concert saloon at the time the murder took place. His attention was attracted to an unusual excitement hear the saloon. He distinctly heard such expressions as « give if to hlmi hit him, kill him," etc. The witness thought he recognized one «r the prisoners as a mail who was engaged in the melee, being at the time in his shirt sleeves; he did not sea the face of'the men, but judged merely from his height. [The witness pointed out Fleminsr as the person to whom he alluded;] He saw no blow struck. ’ John Russell; policeman, stated that, hearing a cry of Watch!” when in the neighborhood of Seventh and Filbert streets, he prooeeded to the vicinity of the con cert saloon; there was a large crowd of people present; ho saw no blow struck. After consultation the jury rendered the following ver dict : “We find that the death of the deceased was caused by lujnriea received during a riot, which took place in Seventh street, below Market, on Friday evening, No vember 14, 1862. The jury also find that Wm. Fleming wss presefit, aidijjgaEd assisting in saidjriot.” Fleming was accordingly token into custody and the other two parties discharged. This.
