While meeting a fiend in his den;
"rlis true that the tears of a nation
Are flowing for hraveAof men;
mornings
Emerge from the blackest of night . ;
Our reuse is the glory of heaven,
So let us go on with the fight.
Thew fought, but the infarMus traitors
Were hid by the mud andithe stone,
OUr en unequalled valor.
Still rallied while columns were mown;
But soon as the soldiers are rested,
As sure as the Sun giveth light,
e'll whip them and hangall the leaders,
So let us go on with the fight.
We pray we may haVe no more widows
Or orphans because of the war;
We hope that the family circle
NiTilLnever have sorrow in store;
We pray for our army and navy,
To roll on the Union

Parton's "Life of Andrew Jackson,” which, with
some obvious but not very important defects, is
among the. best of American biograiihies, has been
judiciously condensed, by its author, into one octavo

of this city. All that was Personal in the three
volumes, which appeared in 1860, is here retained,
and not one of the racy anecdotes or traits is oMit

ble memoir, giving a faithful account of one wlio,
with some glaring errors of character and conduct,

and a thorough Unionist, whose cburage and tact,
stifled that Nullification which, thirty years • later,
under a feeble and treacherous ruler, sprang up
anew as the armed monster Secession.

notice. It iMproves as it advances. The last num:

A new volume (the seventh) of the Rev. Mr. Spur

eulogistic notice, apparently from materials sup
plied by 31r. Spurgeon, in which its eff'eet upon the
hearers is carefully recorded! These sermons'are so
common-place in treatment and bald in style, that
their success must be mainly owing to the preacher's

Let us recommend to every one now in arms for.
the Union a tiny volume, by General Daniel Butter
field, entitled "Camp.and Outpost Duty for In
fantry," with standing orders, extracts from the re
vised regulations of the army, rules for health,:
maxims for soldiers, and duties of officers. It;ia
literally multum inparro, portable, easy of referenCe
by means of a good index, and very practical. It is

"Lectures on moral Science," by the RevlitDr.
Mark Hopkins, President of Williams , Collige
Massachusetts, were delivered before the Lowell
Institute, Boston, and now, in a 12mo volume, pair,
lished by Gould and Lincoln, claim public attention
as showing how lucid ethical speculation can be
made, when treated by a writer who is fully master
of his subject. Dr. Hopkins places Moral Philoio
phy before his readers in a far clearer manner than
Paley did. We received the book from Smith, En
glish, & Co., of this city.

of a selection from the best pipse and poetry vilOch
constitutes the snore popular portion of .:Bnglishltnd
American literature—a selection in which, much va

and judgment. Notices of the authors who have
been laid under contribution are added by-Mr. 78an

skip the first 46 pages, treating of elocution—for we
think that rules cannot teach a man how to 'read
well. To understand and appreciate the author; to
modulate the voice according to the subject - and its
treatment; to avoid rapidity on one hand and over
slowness on the other, and, above all, to be :natural,
will make all persons of average education and Ordi
nary ability read well.. Mr. Sanders' selections Make;
a capital book to read out of, and is worthy of alplace
in the library.
Adam Gurowski's "Diary, from March 4, 1861, to

In order to more successfully'aid the rebellion, a
large number Of the leading Secessionists induced
the belief that the families of all those who should
enlist against the Union would be supported at iheir
expense. But, after busbandii fathers, and sons•had
been seduced from their homes, these conspiring
nabobs left the wretched families to take care of
themselves. For the last few months the sufferings
of these poor have been intense ; therefore, the fol

been drawn up for publication, which will be the

THE STATUS OF AFFAIRS.
I am inclined to believe that the complications of
matters and things. in this department decrease.
General Mitchell has got fairly at work, and-thus
far gives general satisfaction. The fact is, he is a
military man, and understands his business. He
'seems disinclined to meddle at all with the duties of
the Governor, and by so doing contributes vastly
to the harmony which has set in, and adds lustre to
all his military business. Generally, the military
commanders at this post are too important. They
desire to do too much, and by such aiming miss the
mark: - Nashville was in imminent danger when
Colonel Miller had command.• But he and one lieu
tenant did more business, and did it better, than
any officer who' has ever been here. He knew that
Andrew Johnson had accepted of the unpleasant
position of Military Governor - of Tennessee for
the "express piirpose of advancing the interests of
the loyal residents, and performed his part accord-
Ingly. All General Mitchell has to do is to mind his
own business, axidall will go well. Gen. Rosecrans,
too. is all rigid: - Ile has got his eyes on the enemy,
and will attend to him in due time.. He has a - high
opinion of cavalry, but not of toysiiponlorses. A
large portion of. the
. cavalry of this army are under
Gen. Stanley, who is a fine 'officer. He has already
made -several fine
. regiments out of a mob. The
. puking companies of L Stanley , s regiments, by order
of Gen. Rosecrans, will be , aimed with revolving
rifles, and well equipped throughout, and then many
an excursion will be made where the enemy . least ex
pect a demonstration. I telegraphed to you about
. all of interest connected with the dash into Frank-
Uzi of .Stanleps cavalry. , Before leaving...the town,
'th - e•-•7th Pennsylvania Cavalry opened the doors of

The steamer Cahawba Arrived, at New York on

the 10th instant:
.BRINFORCE3IENTS NEEDED.
Nrw Ontgam3, Dec. 10.—It is generally believed
that the Cahawba carries North from this depart
ment important despatches, calling once more for
reinforcements. The ground already occupied by
the. Federal forces embraces the territory from
Donaldsonville, Thibodeaux, and Brashier city (Ber
wick's Bay) on the north and west, and the Passes
• of the Mississippi. The line'of the Opelousas Rail
road is guarded by the new negio regiments. ' The
guerillas are now concentrated at Franklin and
will there probably make a stand. 'With sufficient
reinforcements General Butler could easily extend
his lineaJo Plaquemine on the Mississippi, and to
St. Martinville, on the Bayou Teche. Forts and a
moderate force at these two points would suffice to
hold the' interior, which comprises some of the
richest sugar plantations in the State. To penetrate
this interior the guerillas must follow the roads
along the bayous, where they could easily be cut off.
Much of the country back of the bayous is swampy,
and in.times of high water can be traversed only in
boats.i. If this department is speedily reinforced
Gen. Butler,will occupy every desirable point with
• but little resistance.
REPRESENTATIVES FItOM LOUISIANA. •
Among - tlie pitasangers by the Cahawba are Moira.
B. F..1-lenders •rand Michael Hahn, the recently
elected " Union . " representatives in Congress from
' the First and Second district's of this State. The
whole nuMber, of votes in both districts was 1,417.
The returns - from the Second district are not com
plete, hilt both gentlemen are elected by . small .ma
jorities. The Delia endorses the representatives as
"Unionists without a why . or wherefore," and'says
that they will sustain the Administration in every.
measure it proposes -" which has for its end - the:
~salvation of the Union."
Apropos of voters, the first jury summoned in this'
city for many months was literally "raised" last
Saturday. The law requires that the jurymen shall
be selected from the registered voters, and as there
are very Yew of jthat sort, the new jury was taken
from City...Sury,eyor, Thorpe's effective, but some
what ragged, force of street-cleaners. Before • they
were presented in•court some of them were reclothed,
and more than one barefoot juryman received new
shoes.
,:Oi4EKTIZO THE MISSISSIPPI
We are anxiously awaiting news from McCler
nand's expedition, which is supposed to be coming
down the Mississippi. It is reported that the rebels
have strongly fortified. Port Hudson, 154 miles
nbove this city, on the right bank of the river,
and that the position is. even more formidable than
- Vicksburg. There will be lively times at both these
points, and the rebels will contest the passage of the
river with all the artillery they can bring to bear
-upon our gunboats. But the river once open, New
Orleans will breathe again; business here will revive
(though for many reasons not to the extent that some
imagine), and the hungry people along the banks of
the river will be fed.
This city is fairly flooded with provisions of all
sorts sent here in anticipation of the demand from
theinterior. But, as yet, only small quantities are
sent into country, and the stock on hand is suf
field-zit to feed the city till next May. .The high
freightil' and the rate of exchange make all the
necessaries of life expensive, but if the country is
not soon opened, and we continue to receive
supplies as we have done, it will not be long before
provisions are as cheap here as they are in New
York.
t. SLIGHT SKIR3ff
sr There is no military intelligence of special import
r ante to communicate from the Department of the
Gulf. General Weitzel is in quiet occupation at
Thibodeaux. The Della, of December 6, reports a
sharp skirmish on the 21st of November at Bayou
Bonfouca, near Fort Pike, between two companies
s of the 31st Massachusetts Regiment, under Captains
c Darling and Bridgeman, with sixteen men of. the
4th Massachusetts battery, under Lieutenant Taylor,
and a guerilla force of one hundred and fifty men,
I commanded by Captain Evans. The skirmish con
-1 tinned half an hour with a loss to the guerillas of
four killed and several wounded, and to the Federal
t force of but one wounded. The guerillas tied, carry
ing away their dead and wounded.

This order may possibly deter a few conscientious
Confederates from visiting the city, by sea or river,
at present; but as a compensation: for this loss there
are many who will be glad and willing to come here
for the express purpose of taking the oath, and there
would be more if some of the loyal planters from the
interior could leave home with safety and declare
their allegiance.
• A NEW RACE OF - PLANTERS. .
I ivas down the river seventy miles a few days
since, and from the steamer saw the plantations on
both sides of the river above the forts. The crops,
as yet, are generally untouched by frost. The orange
groves were golden with the now fruit. At
intervals were: vast fields .of. cane, ready or nearly
ready for the knife, some of which will be uncut this
'year for want of hands. Here and there'puilkof steam
from the sugar houses indicate that the grinding
.season had . begun. But this year's sugar crop hi
Louisiana will not be large. Some of the' plants
lions are deserted;.others are confiscated, "and are in
the hands ,of agents, while some are hired for the
season, or the crop has been purchased standing. In.
the latter cases the 01"0 tem. proprietors will, of
course, - make the most of their bargain' if they,kill
all the •mules .on the place, and cut. every • cane,
leaving not an inch of seed cane for-" •ratooning."
Where plantations.have been hired or "taken," it is
necessary to have hands to secure thembps, and' the
negroes (generally those already on the estate) have
been hired at the rate of $lO per month.'.
A loyal planternear by one of these hired" plan
tations was visited by a deputation of his slaves:hot
long ago; and was notified that they had been offered
$lO amonth if they would leave their master and go
over to the next plantation; 'The gentleman was na
turally, desirous of- securing his own" - crop, and so
agreed to pay his own negroes,duringthe sugar sea
son: When the negroes' are paid
I t is in provisions,
clothing, and other necessaries,' and :they" getless,
_perhaps, than they' have heretofore received, but
they are very proud of being " hired," 'and it is difll, ,
cult to get one of them into the hospital. Masters
and negroes alike look upon the present system as
Only temporary, and it is certain that some of the
.plantations will be "skinned to 'death"this year.'
The new planters are. generally Northern men, who
know the value of the almighty dollar, and who have
in mind that'anelent proverb with regard to the expe

TILE DRUSSMADE
the ease of Mrs. Brinsmade and the trial of Super..
intendent Kennedy (a partial report of which has
reached us) are noticed in the city papers.. The New
York 'correspondent of the Picayune, writing under
dite of Nov. 22, says :
"The trial of Superintendent Kennedy, for the un
warrantable arrest and incarceration of Mrs. Edna
made, of your city; was commenced before the Board
of Police Commissioners on Thursday. Every=thing,
thus far,'is against ' her accuser' and there is no
doubt but that, with the close of the present trial,
the days of his official duties will be numbered. Pre
vious to the commencement of this trial, Kennedy,
anticipating the rod that hung over hini, endeavored,
Ina'public explanation, to whitewash over some of
the blackest aspects of the arrest, but it was no use.
Els subterfuges only served to make his acts more
damning still, and the trial now in progress will ex
hibit them in colors that will consign him forever to
the contempt and scorn he so justly merits." •
The Delta says that "Mrs. Brinsmade is pretty
Well known in New Orleans, but she is not 'well
known. In goodsociety,' and thinks that the un
warranted arrest is made a 'pretext to attack the
marshal, and bring about his political ruin.' The
following is from the Delta's article on the subject :
"That, Marshal Kennedy is notoriously unfit for
the position has long been made apparent, and was
no secret either to his frierids'o'r enemies among the
press of New York; and a thousand incidents have
occurred, on any of Which he could have been im
peached as successfully as upon this charge ; but,
then, they. were not sufficiently sensational, and
did not serve the purpose."
We 'are waiting; however, a further report of
the trial, and are curious to know whether the
arrest and incarceration of Mrs. Brinsmade will be
justified.

MRS. BEAUREGARD
Mrs. General Beauregard, I understand, is now at
her house in this city, seriously indisposed; and her
husband has had, I understand, all facilities offered
him by the military authorities here to visit. his
family, and many persons are anxiously expecting
the presence of this ever-honored soldier of the Uni
ted States, but now unfortunate victim of a misera
ble rebellion.
The fortifications at Port Hudson daily increase
in size and importance. I understand that, one hun
dred guns are now in position, and that the different
roads leading from the country to the rear of these
fortifications are lined with defences for miles.
From the peculiarity of the hills at Port Hudson,
they being in some respects a series of spurs or
mounds corning up close to the river, there are a
series of independent forts, one rising above the
other, and the whole commanded by the main works
on the crest of the hill. The Southern people in the
vicinity of Port Hudson call this point their Sebas
topol, and profess to believe it to be impregnable:
No doubt the military forces which used to occupy
the country between New Orleans and Donaldson
ville are now in and about Port Hudson.

" Sin : I am directed by Earl Russell to reply to
yourl letter of the Gth inst., respecting the -destruc
tion by the Confederate steamer Alabama of British
property, embarked hi American vessels and burned
by that steamer. -Earl Russell desires me to state
to you that British property on board a vessel belonging
to one of the belligerents must be subject to all the risks
and contingencies of war, so far as the ectnture of the
vessel is concerned. The owners of any British pro
perty, not being contraband of war, onboard a Fede

The following letter from Mr..Gladstone,Chancel
for of the Exchequer, to Professor Newman, is pub
lished in the London Star: .
"11 CARLTON HOUSE TERRACE,
• December 1, 1862.
"Mr DEAR Sin :. I am sure you will receive indul
gently a comment I hereto make on a statement in
your recent letter on American affairs, published in
the Star, touching a matter not of opinion but of fact.
" I have never to my.. knowledge expreised any
sympathy with •the Southern cause, in any speech
at Newcastle or elsewhere, nor have I passed any eulogium on President Davis::ln dealings, whether
with South or North, I have - thought it out of my
province to touch in any way the complicated ques
tion of praise or blame.
." Perhaps rehould end here; but I cannot avoid
adding, that I think myself a much better friend to
the Northern Americans, if it is not presumptuous
to use the phrase: than those who hare encouraged
and are encouraging them to persevere in their
hopeless . and destructive enterprise. Among these
I; of - course, assign to you the prominent place,
merited alike by your distinguished powers, and
your undoubted sincerity.
• "Believe me, my dear sir, faithfully yours,
"W. E. GLADSTONE.
"To Professor NEWMAN."
• A SHARP REPLY TO ACP.. GLADSTONE.
Professor Newman replies to Mr. Gladstone, la
menting that the policy of the English Government
appears to be the encouragement of rebellion, and to
foster a ' party of insurgents without moral claims,
and arguing that England has been actuated tip an
intense desire to see the destruction of the Union,
and that every other pretext is hypocrisy. The fol
lowing extracts from this letter are interesting:
"It is a terrible fact, that that conduct of English
statesmen, for which you have been represented as
claiming high moral credit is at this momentgoading
both North and South into hatred against us. I see -
no.chance of allaying the malignant elements which .
the upper class of England have stirred up, without
much • plain -speaking, with little care whom we
offend. 'The seeds of an unnatural and dreadfutwar
have been.sown. The pl eis not yet stayed. Pirate
i l iinitfitYligkil l ga • ; • 'f - a'
odious form ' and most damaging to the fair fame of.
England, is to be sent to. that. slave power in pom-.
parisou, with which the late tyranny of Naples was - .
respectable and endurable. You first earned honor
with me by your denunciations of that ,tyranny
when no other public man spoke. Much should .I
have rejoiced to see in you a strong heart of right
eousness, able to stem the tide of contemptible na
tional jealousy. '
"I read your Newcastle speech with great pain—
I will not say with surprise; for in a previous speech
the papers had represented you., as reiterating, after
six months, Earl Russell's monstrously untrue epi
gram that ' the North is fighting for dominion, the
bold; for independence.' This I supposed to be
meant as an encouragement to the South, and'a gra
tuitous display of sympathy with it. Your New
castle speech was; 1 belieVe, universally understood
as intended to feel the way towards the recognition
of the South by England."
* 4 * "No one will belieze that it is the policy
' of an English ministry to encourage insurrection, as
1 such. They must have some urgent reason for it.
The party now fostered by them, (not, I . thankfully .
add, at all to the extent which thealfte of London
wouldhave desired,. but still, as no insurrectionists
in the very best cause were ever before fostered),
this party of insurgents hai no moral claims, even if
there were no North. ,
All theteorld,therefore, inevitably believes that Enyand
has been actuated by an intense desire to see the destrac-
Han of the union, and that every other pretext is by
'crisy. ,We have to clear ourselves of the dreadfully au,
dreadfully.
imputation of having desired an opportunity o war
.at the time of theoutrage CM the Trent. Inthe letterwith
' which you now honor me you' say that you count
:yourself' a ; better friend -to the North, . than . I
am, in that you do, not !encourage it to a hopeless
and destructive. enterprise.' To pronounce ,it
hopeless and destructive is to encourage and almost
to justify the rebels. On no previous occasion have
English statesmen- taken on themselves to prejudge
the ability of a friendlygoverninent to put down in
surrection. - I am in high hope that the righteous
cause will be blessed by a righteous God, since its
upholders are at length in earnest.
I have the honor to be 'sincerely. yours,'

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
TICE MONEY MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 1.9, 11362
Money and stock operations are rather quiet, and
there is not much change in prices to note. Kong
continues comparatively easy at 6 net cent. on eatl.
Good commercial paper is scarce at 5Q6. Certifi
cates of indebtedness and quartermasters' vouchers
are absorbing a large amount of capital, the former
being a very good short investment.
Stocks were more active than yesterday. Govern
ment sixes,. lffl,• sold at 1034, the seven-thirties
falling off ;‘, per cent. It is ft little singular that
United States bonds, paying 7.30 interest in gold,
are weak at 103, while corporation six-per -cents are
firm at 108@111. Surely this looks like a want of
confidence in the Government. Let-the friends of
the Union glance at the debt of England and other
European countries, sand if they are believers in the
greatness of this country they need have no fear of a
disability on the part of these United States to pap
their interest.
