THE WAR The reoent remarkable movement of the Army of the Potomac is not yet folly explained, and wo :begin to see some fresh causes for such a change •as has been effected, in each day's intelligence. We are now satisfied that nothing has been gained by taking a shorter route for Richmond, since we ,wiU haye to bridge the Rappahannock ere we; can more South, but the recent reticence of the; rebels, as well as their apparent desire to; make no further demonstrations against us' in Virginia, was really aggravating. We be lieve that General Burnside hasJntellieenea of ttn embryo gigantic,expedition preparing about Rich mond to deal a heavy blow upon our weak columns on the coast. This idea receives force from the fact that General Poster, with a strong and effective division, found it impolitic to execute fully his plan for an incursion to Weldon, N. C. Ha suddenly heard of an immense force of the enemy concentrating to meet him, and it may yet bear down' upon his position at Newbein. Lee’s army has not gone into winter, quarters about Richmond, but is resting and reorganizing, and he will probably act bn the defensive only for a while. So long as no demonstration is made upon his Southern main line of communication, our enemy will be able to held Richmond against a powerful assault. Prom present appearances it would seem that General; Hal leok is rapidly arranging bis grand oolumns for a general and poworful approach of R'chmond from many points, making it a, point of concentrated and overwhelming attack. This is called “ orga nizing a decisive victory,” and will be a new move upon the board ot modern warfare. THE NEWS. P arson Bkownlow is in Louisville, and preached a sermon to tho Anderson Troop, of Philadelphia, on Sunday last, in the former city. Major Gen. Schuyler, Hamilton and Hon. Ho raee Maynard are in Louisville; the latter accom panying the loyal Tennessee regiments into Bast Tennessee., We bear, indirectly, from the Kanawha Valley, that the army under command of General Oox will go into winter quarters in a very few days, par advance is at Summerville, Nicholas county. The rebels are in some force at Lewisburg, in the ad joining county of Greenbrier, but would probably abandon that,point if an advance were made upon them. The report that Cox will push on to Staun ton is hardly credible. He has neither the force nor the transportation for such an enterprise, and it Is too late in the season to attempt it. The most we can reasonably expect in Western Virginia during tlie remainder of the campaign will be the thorough expulsion of the rebels, the punishment of th| bnshwhackers, and the restoration of tho au thority of the loyal Virginia Government ia the bounties west of the Alleghenies. . One ; span, er half of the new iron bridge across the Lebigb, at Phillipsbnrg, is up, and the scaffold ing for the other half is now being erected. ; Now that General Ben Loan has been elected to Congress, semi-Secession papers are,endeavoring to show that he is an anti'emancipationist. That he is an unconditional Union man is everywhere ad mitted. His ’ views, published' daring the canvass on the subject of emancipation, were satisfactory to the emancipationists of Missouri. A recent letter from the Gulf. Squadron says :- “ A boat’s crew from the Confederate iron-clad steamer Ovieto, at Mobile, escaped from that steamer and arrived at Ship Island on the Ist. They say she is to be fitted out to cruise as the Sumpter did. Sbe is the same vessel that ran in by the United States ship Oneida—for failing to prevent wbloh, Commander Preble was summarily dismissed from the navy.” Becently, as an Illinois regiment was passing through Frankfort on the way to Louisville, it was discovered that the rear guard had a negro in custody. Jack Prewitt, sergeant-at-arms of the Kentuoky Senate, recognized the negro as a slave, and took'forcible possession of him. The soldiers resisted, and a serious row seemed imminent; but the negroes- were overpowered. Another negro, secreted in a wagon, was taken from the soldiers. A courier was sent forward for the main portion of the regiment to return and retake the negroes. The provost marshal ordered out a guard, expect ing an attack-; but the Illinoisans did not return, and Prewitt holds the negroes. A Chicago paper has the following: “ Prom a gentleman just returned from Cairo, we learn that the river at that point has been literally swarming •with soldiers passing down the Ohio and Mississippi ■on transports, for some days past. "Great prepara tions are in progress in both the military and naval .arms of the service in that quarter. Gen. McCler i!and and Admiral; Porter are getting ready for a •big jofc They expect to be at New Orleansih time to wish the loyal people there, and of the whole Mississippi Valley,, a ‘Merry Christmas.’ Tnq ■whole , West is anxious for the reopening of the' Mississippi to commerce and and we be lieve their wishes will be; gratified before New Year’s.” / - Thursday,- the 2Tch of November, will be ob served by all the lojal States as a day of thanks (giving and prayer. Certainly. According to oiir telegraphic summary of foreign news, the London Morning Post ; organ of the ‘British- aristocracy, argues that peace maybe obtained by further victories of the. Democratic party at the polls. Very many of ns entertain' the same opinion. PRHBS!»]eh!SKBMIBSa«aHRI«RaW»EWI The Ship “ Tonawanda The public are well aware that the fine mer chant-vessel Tonawanda, from this port t.e -Liverpool, was captured at‘sea by the Alaba ma, commanded by Semmes, tb© pirate, and, released only oil her commander executing a bond, whereby a sum, variously stated at $60,- 000 and $BO,OOO, was secured to the captors, payable a/ter the conclusion of the present war. The penalty of this bond, we under stand, has been understated, for that it really is $BO,OOO. ■, This; day we publish a correspondence on this subject, between .Mtv WV .-Hi' Irenwiinj I commission merchant 1 in this city, who shipi ped part of the cargo of the Tonawauda, and ;the British Embassy at Washington, repre sented, in the absence of Lord Lyons, by the Hon. W illiam Stuart, Secretary of Lega tion; also, a letter te the -London Times, en-- closing this correspondence, and sharply com menting upon it. Mr. Tsenwith, as a British subject, natti-, rally appealed to the diplomatic representa tive of his nation, and suggested that the Bri tish Ambassador should apply to the Execu- . tive of “ the so-called Southern Confederacy,” to remit the above ransom, as i'af.as , British! subjects are concerned, so that their property, in the' cargo of the Tonawanda, should hot be" chargeable with any portion of the ransom. He fur ther informed the British E mbassy that ho had shipped goods' belonging to British subjects upon the Amorican ship Lancaster; that the British Consnt’s eertiScato’of. this ownership was attached to tho bill of lading, but that, as a similar protection had proved valueless in other cases, he solicited, from the Embassy, a letter protesting against seizure or destruction of British property at sea, to be used by the commander of the Lancaster, if necessary. The reply from the Embassy declines com plying with either request: First, on the ground that it-could not, in any way, treat or communicate with the Confederate States, which had not been recognized by Queen'Yic. TOitiA ; and, secondly, that, the Ambassador’s protest could noibe supplied, there being no authority to issue it, nor , any reason to be lieve that it would have more weight with pi rates than the Consular Certificate. At all events, it was worth trying whether the protest solicited from the Embassy would have'.been treated as worthless by the com mander of the Alabama, or any other South ern (or Anglo-Southern) pirate. Mr. Stu art;.? policy, it appears to us, has a strong tendency to throw all freights from Amorican ports exclusively into - British vessels, to the ipjury of , the American mercantile marine. It is hard that neutral British property should be liable to capture or destruction if found in American vessels,*but it is also very hard upon American shipowners that the action, or - rather the non-action) of- the British Embassy here should tend to throw the transportation of British 5 property exclusively into ; British ships. The .thanks of the mercantile com munity are due to Mr. Tbenwith for the zeal, readiness, and ability with which he has pre sented this case to the Embassy and the public. ; We see it Stated in our foreign despatches of last night that there has been a; quarrel in the Cabinet of the Emperor, and that several of bis Ministers had threatened to resign un less he should do justice to the Italian people by making Rome the Italian capital. It will be seen by this that the lioeral popular opinion of Europe is overwhelming the shrewd and si lent Emperor, and that his ambitious schemes for the advancement of his house at the expense of a nation’s peace, are dissolving. No ministers of Napoleon would attempt to thwart his imperious will if they were not supported by a power mightier than the throne ; and the,dissenting statesmen may be looked upon as more fully representing the sentiment of enlightened France than the Emperor himself. It would be a poetic sequel to the great drama of Italian unity to find a king of Italy upon the Qnirinal; and if we rightly •read the signs of the times, that event is not far distant. Garibaldi, on his conch at Yarig nano, amid the buzzing and humming of con -1 suiting - surgeons, and - suffering the agony of physical as well as mental pain, is a more powerful antagonist of Napoleon than when he led his rash and eager hosts up the heights of Aspromonte. Civilization demands that Rome shall be the capital.of Italy.; It required a power as mighty as Napoleon to thwart that decree so long, but he is yielding, and must surrender. Before the will of an enlightened world the mightiest of human powers must bow. Another Rebel Friyateer Afloat. ( Perhaps the most important foreign'news by the’Etim is the intelligence that , another rebel privateer is oifthe At lanticocean. On the 14th ult. a Danish bark, from New York to Antwerp, was hailed by an iron.-screw steamer of English build, mounting six guns, and bearing the rebel flag. The cap tain 'of the bark estimates that her speed, Gan der sail alone, may be twelve knots an hour; and, according to his account, she’ would scarcely seem to be inferior in any respect to the'Alabama. Like that famous pirate, she mounts six guns, is propelled both by steam and sail, and is unmistakably English in build and general appearance; unlike tho Alabama, she is iron-plated, which point of superiority vastly increases her formidableness. She may possibly be one of the vessels referred to by Secretary: Cameron as building in England to prey upon our commerce. At any rate, it is likely that she may inflict immense injury on our shipping before her course is ended; and it is very certain that the mere fact of her being afloat will run up the rates, of insurance one or two per cent., and increase the excite ment among commercialinen, already intense., But the intelligence, distasteful as it is, may not be without its compensating effects; and may not only serve to stimulate our naval offi cers to greater watchfulness, hut awaken both the Government and people to the importance of constructing proper sea-coast defences. If rebel privateers may cruise upon the great highways of international -commerce, with comparative ■ impunity, why may they not, with equal impunity, enter the by ways—steam into any of the Atlantic ports, and, in a few moments, reduce a flourishing city to a heap of blackened ruins 1 : New York, perhaps, is the only seaport city on the Atlantic coast not at the mercy, of a rebel iron-clad. The depreda tions of the Alahima and her cohsort .wilikaVe at least one redeeming.feature if they awaken us to a realization of our defenceless condi tion, and admonish us to provide against the dangers to which we are exposed. More Britislt Neutrality Mr. Cameron’s statement that several iron clad rains are building in Liverpool and Glas gow for the rebel service has been denied. It is true, nevertheless. Some weeks ago, when < the Earl of Clarendon was in Liverpool, he visited the ship-building yard of Mr. Laird, M. P., Birkenhead, where “No. 200,” alias the “Alabama,” was built, and was there shown three war rams intended for the rebel service. This was mentioned in The Times as a matter of ordinary intelligence, without any comment; and it has since been stated, in the same journal, that Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow, were also at work fulfilling rebel or ders for the construction of powerful marine vessels of offence. ; Considering that the Earl of Clarendon, though not a Cabi net Minister, has a brother (Chari.es Pel ham Yilliers) who is; that he is con nected, with other members of the - Pal merston Ministry, by blood and marriage; and that he has been Viceroy of Ireland and Foreign Secretary of State, it is scarcely.pos sible that the British Government did not hear, from him, what Mr. Laird was doing for the rebels, In his works at Birkenhead. ; That powerful iron-clad marine vessels of de ; strnction are being constructed, in; England aid in Scotland, to bp used against us by the rebels, whoever pays for them, is such an ad mitted fact across the Atlantic, that it re quires no ordinary courage to deny it here. Mr. Cameron has acted the part of a good citizen, in pointing out the necessity of pro viding defences for our leading ports,—espo -1 daily after he had heard, In England, with what ' “ means and appliances to boot,” the cotton seeking sympathizers, with the South were ! preparing to assail’them. The public have ■ not How to learn that British « neutrality ” is a myth, and Queen Victoria’s proclamation proclaiming it, a bit ot waste paper. ; A Possible Substitute for Cotton.: ' GftEßtf SrsiNG, November 1?) 1882.

The Passenger Railways.- As-we anticipated yesterday; tlie-. Board of 1 .'Presidentsof the passenger railway compa nies diavo at -last determined to rescind the offensive resolution passed by them a few days ago. They tell us that we are not to have an increase in the railway fares. This . action on the part of the Board shows a proper appreciation of the rights .of the community, and is the best evi dence in the world that .they are -not, wholly, regardless of their own interests or of public opinion, We think this is the end,of all: the schemes of this cIaSS that wereiri store forfee oppression of the poor man; and the popular indignation with which the attempt to increase such a small item as, a railway fare was re ceived, to all those who may seek to enrich themselves by the sufferings of the workingman and the necessi ties of. this sad time. XETTEKV FROM 11 OCCASIONAL.” Washington, Nov. 19, 1862. Ido not often differ from my good friend, Dr. W. G.vßfownlow, and I freely- admit that ho man/by Ms many terrible siiSerihgs at the hands ofthe rebels, or his unswerving Union ism, has won a better right to talk plainly to those in power, but I submit to ? him whether, his' letter, dated at Cincinnati the 14th inst,,) published in The Press of yesterday, is fair to “ the President, his Secretary of War, and his generals in dommand,’’ especially the follow ing extract: ‘ ■ "nearly one million of men in the field', and in camps of instruction, I now ask the Presi dent, hia Secretary of War, and his generals in command, if - they are going to try to take East Tennessee? Will they meet the expectations of the country, or will they play the fool, as they) have been doing for the last twelve months? Will they proseoute the war, or will they lie in camps, so aa to Jgive .contractors and swindlers a ohanoe to make more money.?” s One of the greatest, of the many and"diver sified objects of the. present war has been and is the redemption- of vthe loyal people of East'-Tennessee; and so far as lfc was possible for the President and his Cabinet to meet the demands of tho patriot’s in that quarter, and at the same time give reasonable attention to other districts, and to other duties, this has been done. And I think when Dr. Brownlow looks over the whole field he will admit that , every. .possible means has been re-, sorted to to convince our loyal friends in his State that the Government, is: heartily and enthusiastically ' standing, by: them. But the President and the Secretary, of War could not achieve .impossibilities." They could not provide against fee accidents and reverses; feat befell the gallant Geo. W. Morgan, nor could they anticipate such con duct as that of General Buoli, and its atten dant and succeeding calamities. Had fee last. Congress allowed the railroad to be built from 'Kentucky into East Tennessee, energetically asked for by Mr. Secretary,Stanton, and earn estly recommended by the President, instead of repealing the grant giving fee authority, under a misapprehension of-facts arid motives, East Tennessee had now been saved to - tho .Union arms; and when the Secretary of War pointed, out the extraordinary movements of Gen. Buell and insisted upon a new com mander, it was fee loyal men of Kentucky I ; who opposed and retarded a change, which they,now gratefully though tardily approve. ■ When Dr. Brownlow wrote on the 11th in slant, he ought to have known that Kose -crans was marching to Nashville at the head, of Buell’s column, in order to move upon Chattanooga, the great railroad centre, now in rebel possession, which once occu pied by our forces, opens the way to East Tennessee _by way of Knoxville, and com pletely cuts off all railroad communication be tween Richmond arid fee Gulf States. Should 'Roseerans fail, it will not be the fault of the President; for this motement is by his directiori.. It is well to watch and counsel our public ser vants ; but is it not also well for loyal; men, especially influential ones like Dr. Brownlow?* also to trust and strengthen them f , They have, as 1 have said, enormous responsibilities to meet—various interests to guard-—and in appreciable difficulties to contend against!

Not to be thus Tahkeeized,(however, the Broad-- way , publisher has announced that he will sell Ws editioh at the same price as '.that asked, for the guerilla edition, and there is a possibility that the latter may-abt prove such a paying speculation as its undertakers had anti cipated. ; Until we have, an international copyright law, there can, of conrse, be no legal prevention for thi« sort of business; but it is a pity that thero Is not enough com mon gentility In the book publishing fraternity to enforce some sort of regard for the traditional and civilized eti quette of the trade.

S. A, Washington , D G : General: I have the honor to report that, agreeably to my letter of the 30ih ultimo, informing you of my ia--, tention to make an expedition through the eastern coun ties of this State, and elating , the object of the move,'! left this post on the 81st ultimo, and have-jUBt arrived here on my return. ' : - I am happy to inform you that, although the original plan tor the capture of the three regiments foraging in that section was, owing to the condition of the roads, frustrated, the expedition will be of great service to our cause In this department. The first brigade, under command of Colonel T. J. O, Arnory, together with the artillery, cavalry, and wagon trein, were marched from thia poiut across the oouhtrr to Wsshington; ti e balance of my forces, inolaaing the second brigade, Colonel ’Stevenson, and the third bri gade, Celonel Lee, were embarked on transports, and -landed at Washington, where they were: joined by Ooi. f cry’s command on Saturday evening, the 2d lust, n Eunday, the 3d. all the forces; including artillery, Washington, under my command, for: Williamson. ' On the evening of the same day we encenutored the eoe my posted in a Btroog position at a email creek, oaths 1 FltUe Ojoek. 1 immediately ordered Colonel Stevenson, commanding the second brigade, Who was then in the advai.ee, to make all haste in driving themfrom site tide oi the crceki and pnsh on at once. The engagement lasted oco hour, when the enemy, bring driven from their rifle pits by the effectual fire of Belger’s Bhode Island battery, retired lo Bawl's Mills, one mile further on, where they made another stand in a tecently-constrncter. field-work. Belger’s f attery, and twd batteries of the 3d New York Artillery, were imme diately ordered Into position, and/after a splendid en gagement of half an hoar, succeeded In driving the enemy from their works and across a bridge, whioh they burned. That night, while the pioneers rebuilt the burned bridge, the forces bivouacked ou the fialdfand proceeded the next morning to Williamson, where we ar rived about noon. We started from there, alter a short rest, in pursuit of the enemy, bivonacking about five miles from (hat place. On the following day wo reached and occupied the tonifications at Bainbow Banks, three miles belcw Hamilton, and then pushed on to Hamilton. There we expected to find some iron-olad boats, said to be_Jn the process of conßtructionatHamllton,butdi3. covered nothing of the kind. On the sixth, left Hamitton In pnrsuit of the enemy, toward Tarboro, and encamped On the same night withiu ten miles of that place. It was the intention to pursue the enemy to Tarboro, but the exhausted condition of my mtn, most of whom had been rick during tho last two months, and had not yet recovered their strength, and the provisions being entirely exhausted, so that 1 had to sub/ list the command by foraging,’.as well as the fact that the enemy were being largely reinforced by rafli changed my plans, and on the following morning, the seventh instant, I countermarched the column, reaching Hamilton the same night; where we remained, until the' next morning, when we majehed for Williamson in the midst of a severe suow storm At Williamson we remained a day, in order to give the men an opportunity to rest. At daylight the next day'fiehth instant) we started for Plymouth, where we arrived that night. The.following day the troops were all re- embarked at Newbern. During the engagement at Bawl’B mills and at Hamil ton we captured five prisoners, who were‘ paroled at Williamson. The loss on our side consisted oT six killed and eight wounded. The expedition was instrumental in saving, the town and forces at Plymouth from destruction and capture, and I found upon my arrival at the place .that the ene my’s forces, while lying in the vicinity, besides being engaged in foraging, had constructed a bridge over the/ creek, three miles outside the town, for tho transporta tion of their erlillery to the opposite bank. I also learned/ from information gathered on the spot, that an immediate attack wbb to have been made on the place, but upon hearing of my advance from Washington, and seeing the danger »f their capture, they beat a precipitate and hasty retreat..: The navy, under command of Commander Davenport, senior officer, CO- operated- heartily with me dorieg toe whole lime, by Bending fivo gunboats to. Hamilton, and there placing tour boat howitzers with their crews at my disposal. . • • ■ ■ I desire to mention particularly the efficient conduct/ of Ooloiel Stevenson, commanding: the, seoond brigado ; Colonel Potter, of the Ibl North Carolina Union Yoluu teers. .. - .

Birchanau, off Brashear City, gives an account of a brisk action which took place on the 3d Ini Btant, between some of our guubt ats and the rebel bat teries and gunboats on the Teche: “ The night or our arrival here we chased the rebel, gunboat Cotun, but she got away from us by her supe rior speed.' The same night wo captured the robe steamer A. B Sigur, She is a email boat, about the size of the Fanny Natchez,;and is very useful. . “Yesterday (Noverobtr-3) all the gunboats went up Bayou Teche, found-tbe enemy about fourteen miles from here, and passed above the obstructions they had - sunk v in r the Teche. - The boats engaged them for two hours, and drove them off, including the Gotten. The - Kinsman bore the brunt of it. and' received fifty-four > shotß in her upper works and hull, and had one man killed (a soldier of the 2lst Indiana) and- five wounded. “ The pilot, John Bellino, had his lee badly shattered, and died to-day from the effects of amputation. Captain i Uooi, on the Estrella, received three Bhots, and had two , soldiers cf the 21at Indiana killed while working the ' guns, and one man badly wounded. “ The Diana, received three shots, but had no person r hurt. She will have to be hauled out, as her stem is shot away. The Calhoun recelved*Bight shots, but fortunate ly they did no material damage. - “ Capt. Wiggins fought bis-ship nobly. He was In , such a position that he received all the fire from the ar . tillery cn the shore, and at the same time had the Gotten playing upon him. Be, however, drove the artillery - away, and put several shots into the Gotten. <* The whole rebel force was there, numbering between three and four thousand men, with.it is said, seventy field-pieces, It itjreported to-day that wejdid.them a great ideal of damage, and that the Cotten is sunk. They had thrown up a mud fort on this side, but evacuated it on our arrival. ;An attempt was made to’remove the ob structions, but wiihout eneceee; but I tbink that when Gen. Weitzel arrives, so as to afford protection from the sharpshooters on the banks, we oan do so. v V The enemy .destroyed one thousand* hogsheads of sugar, a lot of molasses, and also burnt ninety-eight cars .and steam engines. “The Cotton is iron-cased, and did tome excellent Bhootlng. She'mounts one long 32 ponnder, four 24- prundere, and two 0- pounders, rifled guns. The iron cat-li>gcn the Kinsman and Diana turned the shot beau tlfuily. • “ Lieut. Buchanan has just returned from another trip up. theTeche, with the Estrella.He had three men killed by a Shot The Gotten,was there,, Theybad.a battery on each bank, but he'aurceeded In driving them all off. ‘I think the Cotten is casemated, as pur shell glanced off. She wag on fire once. We could plainly see our ahst strike her, hut she fights bows on.” GENERAL BUTLER’S LATEST ORDER.’ .

Hence mostor the provinces had com menced this great work, and now nearly all having re volted have put down the existing authorities, and, sup ported by the noble and valiant army, have instituted local administration. “The same necessity and the same desire have, since last night, arouted the people who, emulating the pa;, triotism of their brethren in the country, have called for the abrogation of the existing order of thing,. The Greek army, faithful guardian of the trust reposed In it by the nation for the validity of the oaths and the main* tenancß of the lawß, worthy of its name, supported the national movement, and thus, by their combined action, the existing state of affairs has been abolished, the late ruler deposed from the Greek throne, and the rights of his Queen as regent annulled ;' a provisional goveromsnt has been formed, consisting of Messrs.

A Man Murdered in His Own House! ! ARREST OF THE ALLEGED MURDERER. One of the most horrid and brutal murders ever per petrated was committed last evening, In the Third ward. The name of the victim is Thomas Williamson, aged about 45 years. He was married, and resided with his wife and three children, two boys and a girl, in MUgil ten’s court, running-north from Kates street, between Broad and Thirteenth. r Williamson was a discharged volunteer, but had re cenlly re-enlitted. He was a man much addioted to drinking, and lived in a quarrelsome manner with hb fa mily. He had just been discharged from Moyamensing prison on Jdonday last, where he had been placed by his wife for maltreatment of her and the children. gThe murder was committed between eight and nine o’clock. At that time, the neighbors heard loud ’words and a scuffling in the house, as if a fight wasln progress. Shortly after, a,man was seen to leave the house, and take a has y departure. The neighbors, suspecting that ail was not right, procured the assistance of the police, and entered the premises. Upon opening the door a most hor rid speotacle presented itself: ' She room, was a email one, about eight feet square, and feme the back building, first floor. Totally nn papered and nnciirpeted, the whitewash peeling iB dingy flakesfrom the wall and ceiling, and Illuminated. solely by the fitful glare of a Bolitary candle, the gloom of the apartment only rendered the scene more horrifying. As the light was elevated and the sickly beams "shone through the close atmosphere, they finally lit upon the prostrate' figure of the murdered man—upon a pool of crimson and coagulated blood, and,npon a yawning gash, deep, and wide, and gory. The wound was straight across the abdomen, and consisted of two fearful gashes on "each side, connected |by a gaping cut, which appeared almost to cover the trank in twain, a The deepest gash was on the left side. It presented the appearance of the instrument of death having been plunged frantically in, wrenohsd around, and then drawn across the stomach. Immense force must have been used to thus cnt, through both the clothing and 'flesh. The left Bide, the entrails protruding, presented a hid eously.sickening sight of the fea tures .was, perhaps, more appalling than gaught else. It spoke of a desperate struggle ; of hatred, horror, and agony, Bil blended and confused, and finally settling into the rigid state of death. The fixed and terror-glaring 'eyes, the open jaws, set oonvulsively in the last throes, the sepulchral and clammy complexion, were the crown ing henors of the, occasion. The deceased wag in his shirt.sleeves, and had on a pair of armypants. His limbs were slender and the features emaciated. A small stove on the east side of the room was npjet,jand the ashes strewed the floor. A table and r a few rickety chairs completed the furniture. The walls were adorned with some hundreds of small'pictures.'' , , . ; , The disarranged appearance of the furniture gave every indication of a moßt violent struggle having taken place, it was stated" by the neighbor* that thß disturb ance commenced In the third story, and extended thence to the first floor,' there to terminate so' fesrfully. Upon entering the bouse the wife of the murdered man was met.- -She stated that her husband was In his present condition frem-having fallen over the stove. After hav ing been closely questioned, and giving a very unsatis factory explanation, she, with the two youngest Children, was taken into custody. The oldest child, a boy of six teen years, was abßeat at the theatre at the time of the tragedy^ HOfficorß Eckhard and) Irwin, of the Second police dis trict, were present, and immediately set to work to ferret out the guilty party. From information given by the neighbors, a man named Patrick Tarragen was suspected of being Implicated in tt e affair. While the officers were in search of Tairegan, he made his appearance in Kates’ street, and was immediately arrested. 1 ■ This was abent half past eleven o’clock or three hours after the murder. Upon arresting him a search was immediately made; a comb and -a porte-moonaie were found on hia person. It was also discovered that he bore under his right eye two fresh scratches, as if in curred in a struggle. He likewise had several drops of blood upon his shirt-bosom. • He was directly conveyed rto . the staHoa-house, and locked up for further developments.. Tarragon is about 45 years of age, a widower, and rerides at Ho. 1111 Car penter street. He is by trade a carpenter. -The neigh bors state that b'arrsgan has, been in the habit of fre- ? quenting the house of the deceased during the latter’s abrence, and with being on terms of intimacy with Ms "wife. ; ,' ; , f '■ We were present at the time of Tarragon's arrest, aril', ripen the officers seizing him, he did not seem the least , confused or display any|rigns of fear. Wbeaqaestioned in regard to when he received Ms Moody eye, ho an swered that he,“ didn’t get it£t ail,” and when told that he must be arrested, made no resistance. Ah umbrella covered with blood was likewise picked •up in Williamson’s house, and token in charge by the officers! ■ Tbe wife, when questioned in. regard to this Brittle, .stated to’her husband, "The lDVMtlgatkm'of the doroner- may prove differently.
