4Mfr. Justice Woodward and His Record.
Mr. CHARLES J. BIDDLE, colonel of vo
lunteers during McCLELLAN's winter cam
paign before Manassas, and now chairman of
the Democratic 'State Central Committee,
bas determined to serve that committee with
a more officious zeal than he ever manifested
in behalf of his country. He not only has
- the care Of thq Democratic party upon his
hands, but-intends to pay attention to the
• disoipline of the National Union party. He
:leas made up his mind that the loyal speak
-ers shall go so far and no farther, and to
- that end adds to his many duties a daily pe
rusal of Tick 'l 3 nEss, and the authorship of
letters of warning and comment to the gen
tlemen'whose speeches we feel called upon
to report. There is; perhaps, nothing more
calculated to lead Mr. BIDDLE to a loyal
and' Christian frame of mind than the atten
tion:he bestows upon this newspaper; al
though we have no' hope of being able to
win him from the error of his ways. The
present subject of his solicitude is Mr. N. B.
BROWNS, a speaker at the recent Union i
meeting. Mr. BROWNE s one of our most
conscientious and respectable citizens, a
Democrat heretofore, but who came into the
loyal party with DICKINSON, BUTLER, and
BREWSTER. He made a speech, in the comic
of which he justly spoke of Mr. Justice
WOODWARD as an enemy of the country
and a follower of the doctrines of the late .
Mr. CArarouN. This statement he strength
ened by asserting a former political friend
ship for Mr. WOODWARD, and a knowledge
of his views, which every, other Democrat
in the State abundantly possesSed. Hence
this correspOndence. It is all a matter of
political friendship, and on this subject Mr.
BIDDLE seems to speak by the card. Mr.
Justice WOODWARD is, of course, too much
impressed by the dignity and etiquette - of his
high station, and has too much respect for
what is due to the bench,•to think of reading
political speeches, or prompting the chair
man of his committee with the inforMation
necessary for a partisan letter. Therefore,
in this letter of Mr. BIDDLE, we have to ad
mire an intimate acquaintance with the pel
sonal affairs of his friends, which we have
never seen in society' or books; and which is
but faintly pictured in the dramatic sketch.
of " Paul Pry." The correspondence Will
speak for itself. The question of fact is
frankly met by Mr. BnowriE, and no one
will read these letters without seeing that
Mr. I3ROWNE was; as he asserted, the friend
of Mr. Justice WOODWARD, and, as his
speech proved, abundantly acquainted with
his opinions. - Mr. BIDDLE himself was con
vinced, as we do not see in the correspond
ence and intimation of a contrary convic
tion.
It is not to enter 'into this discussion that
we make any reference to the correspond
ence. But, as Mr. BIDDLE is a. reader of
THE PRESS, he may thank us for making a
suggestion or two that may aid him in the
discharge Of his arduous dtities. In the first
place, we would advise hire tb let the speak
ers at Union meetings - alone. Not to say
-it
unkindly, it is none of his business, but a
matter altogether within the province of Mr.
WAYNE MCVEIGH. In the second place,
he should insist upon his candidate making
a declaration of his opinions. For, after all,
the only trouble about this campaign is sim
ply to ascertain what Mr. Justice WOOD
WARD really thinks. He pretends to keep
silent because he is on the bench, and it
would not be proper for a judge to become
an active partisan. In. this, however, there
is a degree of disingenuousness--we might al-
Most say dishonesty--which we are sad to see.
Mr. JUstiCe WOODWARD only refrains from
politics so far as it serves his purpose. His
regard for the etiquette of the bench did not
prevent -him from writing a political letter
to Mr. BIDDLE during the late invasion, nor
from prompting the correspondence we print
this morning. If he can do these things he
can do more. He can write another letter
to Mr. Binnnn, and. through him tell the
State what he thinks of the many questions
that now agitate the country. If he can
speak to Mr. BIDDLE on subjects.affecting
his own interests, he can speak to the
State on subjects affecting every citizen •
in Pennsylvania. What does he think of
the war? - Does he _still think the South
should be "permitted to go peaceably ?"
Does he regard the rebellion of, the slave
holders a mere assertion of "their natural
rights ?" Is he still of the opinion that "to
think against slavery is a sin," and to talk
against slavery a crime ?" Will he carry
out the platform, enunciated by his friends
in 1861; and endeavor to unite Pennsylva
nia with her "natural ally," the South?
Will he , justify the declaration made by his
friends hi Somerset county, that in the event
of his election he will unite with SEYMOUR
of !New York and PARKER . of New Jersey,
and recall the troops ;from the field? • In
simple terms; will he be a patriot or a trai
- 'tor ? Let him answer these questions in a
letter to Mr. BIDDLE, or to any person whom.
he pleases, and we shall print it, and guide
ourselves accordilig to his declarations.
We haVe no other desire . than to place him
on the record, frankly, fully, without pre
varication .or reservation, so that the loyal
Voters may know what he really believes.
Let us have no More of this silence. Let
him descend from the bench and make the
canvass like a man, so that when the people
are called upon to - .vote they may not be
juggled and deceived by paltering. politi :
clans, as they were juggled and deceived
by "this very Mr. BIDDLE when he' gained.
an election by disavowing partisanship,.
and served through Congreas as the bitter
est partisan en its floor. -
. WE. HAVE TO ADD LANCASTER COUNTY to
those we mentioned yesterday as having
shown a liberal and appreciative spirit in
placing loyal Democrats upon a loyal ticket.
The Hon. BENJAMIN CHAMPNEYS, who re
presented this county in the Legislature last
session with splendid ability and a loyalty
that proclaimed itself on every occasion
and went far towards strengthening the
hands of the Government, has been renomi
nated by acclamation in the Union•. County
Convention for State Senator. As our read
ers know, Judge CEAMPNEYS was a Demo
crat in the days of Democratic pride and
glory, leaving the organization when' it was
betrayed and degraded by Mr. BUCHANAN.
Since the war began, he has been foremost
among our loyal statesmen, and has given
his intellect ind experience to the best inte
rests of the State and nation. We are glad
to welcome such a man back to the coun
cils of the. Commonwealth. Pennsylvania
bas few worthier sons, and in this hour she'
iieeda the devotion of the worthiest.
WE aIiVE as yet heard no Pennsylvania
soldier approving GEORGE W. WOODWARD
- as a candidate for Governor of Penn
oylvania. ; ,How could this .be, with these
:terrible words, (never recanted by. WOOD
.w2tln,) uttered by. him in December of
1860, just after -Mr. LINCOLN'S :Election,
seared into every soldier's memory ?

The Congress at Frankfort.
The balance of power is an ideality which
European . ' statesmen have never been able
to realize. A..revolation makes it tremble;
a NAPOLEON' destroys it, and new wars are
continually. necessary to restore it. It in
volies so many questions of territory and
population, is dependent so much upon in
calculable elements, such as the death of a
weak king or the rise of a great mind, that
it is never established, but it is almost sure
to be disturbed. It is, in fact, a dream.
'Europe 'adjusts itself by laws of necessity,
and the distribution of power is generally
independent of legislation, international
conferences, or treaties.
The latest effort to settle this perpetually
oscillating balance, is the Congress at Frank
fort. It will not be successful. It will
simply shift the elements of the great Euro
pean complication, whose Gordian knot has
for centuries baffled alike the skill of the
statesman to untangle, the sword of the con
queror to cut. It will leave Europe as• she
is, liable at any moment to the convulsions
of war, with all her States jealous and
watchful, her rival navies guarding the seas,
her opposing armies standing sentinels over
the broken slumbers of peace. But, if the
great' object for which the thirty-four. Ger
man princes have assembled is obtained, it
will be well for Germany. - She will profit
by the adoption of a plan which will make
her almost the mistress of the continent.
Russia,' and England, and France are
now the three great Powers of Europe.
Divided Germany has now.. scarcely-the in
.fluence Prussia alone posse,sSed when the
gteat FREDEEICE lifted up his own throne
and set it higher among the nations. The
pride of Austria was broken when the first
NAPOLEON became her enemy; it was again
overcome by France in the polite war which
wrested from her Savoy. Only by the aid
of united Germany can either Austria or
Prussia become the equal of the three great
Powers.
.. Though the Plan proposed by the Enipe
,r. ,
ror is unpublished, and the deliberations of
the Congress are in st cret, the terms of the
confederation will probably require a Direc
tory, consisting of the Emperor of Austria,
the Kings of Prussia and Bavaria, and the
rulers of two smaller States ; a Federal
Coiincil.of twenty-one of the Princes ; an
Assembly of three hundred Deputies, elected
by the Chstrubers of the different States ;
an Assembly of the Princes. The Directory
will possess the executive power, the ap
pointment of ministers to foreign courts, and
subject to the uproval of the Federal Coun
cil, the declaration of .war, the negotiation
of peace, the control of the army. Members
of the Assembly will be elected by each
State according to its own form of govern
ment, Austria and Prussia sending seventy
five members each, Bavaria twenty-eeven,
and the other States, in proportion. This
body has the deciding vote in all questions
of finance and general legiSlation. The As
sembly of the Princes ratifies the acts of the
Deputies. A High Court of-Judicaeure is
also to be established, consisting of fifteen
members, three to be, appointed by the Ex
ecritive, and twelve by certain other Govern-
Ments. -
-If this Bund is firmly established the re
sult will be, Austria will probably be at its
head. The smaller States will compose the
body and give force to the will of Aus
tria. The rights of each little principality
seem to be protected by this Bund, but
their independent action upon European.
affairs it inevitably extinguishes. Just as
the United States could declare war against
Great Britain. in 1812, against the will of
New England; which had then to be a party
to the war, the Bund, can declare war, and
all Gerniany must Share its dangers and its
gains. Each German- State will yield a
part of individuality, gaining for that"
loss an interest in a great confederation,
which will have the power to maintain
equal place among the great Powers of al:-
rope; To us, the project appears very much
as a movement :against -Prussia, and the re
fusal of that State to take any part in the
Congress is evidence that, she distrtists her
ability to counteract the influence of Ailstria
in the Bund. If Congress secures the pro
posed bond of Union, Prussia will naturally
be forced into kcloser alliance with RuSsia.
It is the interest or - Prussia to discourage_
and prevent the establishment of this Con
federation, of which she cannot become the
head, in which she dare not be an inferior.
Wews from Abroad.
News from 'Europe, to the 30th August,
telegraphed from Cape Race, inforMs us
that the American ship Anglo-Saxon, bound
from Liverpool to New York, had been
burned, Almost in sight of people in the
South cTf Ireland (and in BritislC waters!)
by the Florida, built in Liverpool, ait'd al
lowed by Earl Russ.= to take servi4e, un

It is reported, too, that the Arcliduke

Mexican Crown. Some- days ago we no
ticed the general feeling in Austria that one
of her reigning family ought not to accept
the favor even of an imperial Crown, from
a BoistAranmE. If the report be true, the
projected alliance between France :and
Austria, will fall to•the ground, and Lows
NAPOLEON will nominate one of 'ids own
family, or one of his own generals, to the

By way of San Francisco, we have news
from Japan to the 29th July. It is bellige
rent. The British frigate Medusa had been
fired upon, a fortnight before, by certain
Japanese forts and vessels, had been much
injured by twenty-four shots, and had seve
ral men idled , and wounded. The. sariie
guns and vessels had previously fired on the
American ship Pembroke. On July 20th,
the United States frigate Wyoming had ar
rived 'at Kanazawa, to avenge th 4 wrong,
and, with some loss of life, had left a Japa
nese war-steamer in a sinking condition,
and had silenced nearly:all the: hostile forts.
A few days after this, a contest took plabe
between - two -British war-steamers" and the
Japanese, in Simconseki straits.' The Ja
panese forts fired on
: these vessels, of
which - .the British troops landed,
destroyed the forts, batteries, and. town,
blew up a powder magazine,' spiked the
guns, and burnt a village. Two Japanese
vessels were sunk. The curious part of this
proceeding, which is not unexpected, is that
circumstances have compelled the American
conniodore and the British admiral to play
the same. game of antagonism against- the
Japanese. We hope that neither Americans
'nor British Will be so foolish as to under-.
value the foe. The warlike, cultivated, and.
observant Japanese are far more formidable'
opponents than the enfeebled and ignorant
Chinese: A war with Japan,. whoever uri.
dertakes it, will be a serious affair.
Accurate Information.
The London Saturday Review (August 22)
makes an ostentatious display of information
—political; historical, and geographical*
about the United StateS. It combines pro-
Phecy with this, having exultingly predicted
that LEE would seize Philadelphia and Ealti
more, and then take possession of Washing
ton and New York; that the 3pssissippi
could not be opened to Union navigation,
and that Vicksburg never, would or 'could be
taken. It expatiates on the attack . upon
Charleston, and authoritatively affirms*
` - After examining the rough plans before
us of the harbor, it is difficult to see' how
any meal attack can be made on Fort Sump
ter before the batteries on Cummings Point,
between Forts Wagner and Sumpter, have
been captured." Unfortunately for the cre
dit of this prophet, Fort 'Sumpter has fallen,
and by this time Fort Wagner is in Alp same
predicament, before the event which, he
thought, ought to precede such fall.

Wanted—An Aristocracy
Mr. MATTHEW ARNOLD, a distinguished
English• gentleman, author of some poems
above the average merit, and Professor of
Poetry at Oxford, has lately written a brief
treatise to show that Englishmen want
ideas, which, he. says, abciund in Germany,
giving it the real leadership of the thought
and culture of the world. He thinks, too,
that the Americans are even worse off than
the English .for "ideas." An American
lady has had a newspaper correspondence
with him for speaking of "the vulgarity 'of
the Americans," which he attributed to
wanting ".the example of, a splendid aris
tocracy," though he subsequently admitted.
that "the common people, in a countiP.,
where there is •an aristocracy, are' the
grossest and most uncivilized of any.',!
The, American belle quietly asked the
Oxford , Professor whether he held by the
first or the second of these contradictory as- .
sertions. Mr. ARNOLD replies :
"I have not my book by me at this moment, and
do ,pot feel quite sure that she quotes my exact
words ; still, I will take the two quotations as they(
stand; and, in answer to her question, Which is my
real • opinionl I will answer, 'ln respect to a race
like the English or the Anglo-American race, both.'
A hard and raw race like ours, with little aptitudefor
the true source of reflnement—iideas—eatohes from
the spectacle of a splendid aristocracy the sense of a
refinement which is, at least, a sort of- outward
shadow of the true. On the other hand, the reign
of aristocradee, those born enemies of ideas, im•
peers the development of ideas, which alone are able
truly to refine a people. America has, I hope, a
great future before her ; but at present she is what
England without an aristocracy and without the
influence of the Continent would no doubt have
been—a nation respectable Viler energy, but with
out the virtues either of the beat aristoeratio or the
best democratic nations, and therefore rendering
hardly any service to human culture."
This is a hard blow from a Professor of
Poetry, but we hope that the "energy"
which, he says, makes this nation "-respect
able,'_'. will enable us to survive it. Per
haps, too, as-we have hitherto managed to
get on without an aristocracy without
even. Professors of Poetry, though we
have poets—we can continue to dispense
with them. There is nothing truly ele
_
vating or grand in the Old World aris
tocracies. That is the best which is based
on integrity, enterprise, ability, and the
success which follows the united action of
these. Mr. ARNOLD himself confesses that
aristocracies are " the born enemies of
ideas," yet he declares the want of aristo
cracy in this country makes us "therefore
render hardly any service to human cul
ture." If the Professor's poetry 'was no
better than his logic, his readers are to be
pitied. We 'applied the motive power of
steam to navigation and to agriculture—we
first put up a telegraph line—we made the
lightning press, on which most probably
Mr. AlMoLD's lucubrations are printed
—and we humbly claim, if for th.ese,alone,
that we have rendered some " service to
human culture."
JUDGE WO ODWA - ED thinks that- "slavery
is an incalculable blessing." What, then,
is his opinion of freedom ? We trust one
equally enthusiastic. In that case, we have
the singular creed, "Slavery and Freedom
are incalculable blessings," which is much
the same as complimenting Christianity and
Atheism in one breath, or praising at once
WAsniNoToii!s farewell address and Mr,
WOODWARD' s speeches. N,
A CRLEXRATED SATIRIST cleverly compli
ments one of the General JACIIOS of his

“The great God of Mar,—

so good as calling Mr. Justice WOODWA.RD
a patriot, and adding that he' is a DemoL

burg platform. ,te
WHAT LEADEP. of the Democracy will the
true Democrat follow - ? BRECKENRIDGE, who
is in the armed ranks of treason., fighting to
destroy the men who voted. for him, or
ANDREIVIOHNSON, who, while rejecting and
denouncing BREcKfignaroc:E, takes his place
by the side of ABRAHAM Luccoms-, the duly
elected President of the United States ?
THE NOBLE ENTEIIBIASM and disinterest
edness of hosts of Democrats in support of
CURTIN should put to the blush every hesi
tating Republican. In thiS struggle, he
that is not for the Federal Government is
assuredly against it; and CURTER' is the
representative and champion of that Go
vernment..
THE VOICE OF CALIFORNIA, in the late
election, uttered in thunder-tones against
open treason and a false Democracy, is.ano
ther tribute to the memory of the murdered
BRODERICK, and another vindication of the
bold views and bolder purposes of his only
living representative in the United States
senate, the new Senator-elect from Califor
nia, the Ireland-born Democrat, Joni CON
HESS.
PRESIDENT LrxcoLlT's letter goes into
every householdlike a welcome guest. The
hardest prejudices give way before its sin
cerity, and the most bigoted partisan dare
not deny its truth. It is a great advantage
when dcause
. intrinsically good can point
to a representative and exponent intrinsi
cally-disinterested and pure.
THE REBELS destroyed the;extensive iron
works of Hon. THADDEUS STEVENS, in
Adams county, dtiling their last raid into
and - final retreat from Pennsylvania. The
traitors confessed that they committed this
outrage because Mr. STE - M . l 4 ft had given
them se much cold steel in the last Congress
of the United States. Of the latter material
we think he has a small stock on hand.
IF THE DEMOCRACY mean union, why
is it that the pro-Southern journals of
Europe declare that the success of that party
will prove that the North is tired of the
war, and willing to recognize the inde
pendence of the South ? Why is it that the
southern papers affirm that Mr. VALLAN
DIGHAAI'S election will teach the Admi
nistration that the rebellion cannot be put
down ? These are questions no Democratic
paper dares to answer. The loyal voters
will give the true reply„
TEE Express says, apparently by acci
dent; that posterity will "have butlittle to
say 'in defence of the rebellion or the rebels."
The Democratic party might take a lesson
from posterity with advantage. "Mr•. Woon-
WARD might recant his notorious assertion
in 1860 "It appears to me - that there must
be a time when slaveholders may fall back
on their.natural rights, and employ in de
fence of their Slave'property whatever means
of protection they possess or can com
mand."
MAT the election of ldr. Justice WOOD
WARD would greatly comfort and encourage
the rebels and-their Northern sympathizers,
no one can doubt, and few would have the
hardihood to deny. And yet' many of, the
supp - orters of. MT. Justice WOODWARD pro
fess to be the. friends of the Union, to 'be
opposed to Secession, ~and in favOr of a
vigorous proSecution of the war.. Is this
insanity, or is it hypocrisy ?
THE Richmond Liixaminer of April 16th,
1861, said : " War will disorganize the in
dustry of the North ; it can have little effect
upon the industry of the South." Two
years have proved the folly of such,expecta•
dons. The industry of the South is running,
away towards•the north star, and the slave
holders are afraid to think of„the number of
slaves they have lost.
THB DEMOCRATS who remember STEPHEN
A. DOTIGLA with Jove ancl gratitude, and
who voted for hint in 1800, need not, we
trust, be reminded that no man held that
great and progressive statesman in more
contempt than ersonoE W. WOODWARD.

by your Excellency, I have invited the co-operation

The Chief Executives of fifteen out of seventeen
Statea have already responded, in moat instances
pledging their States to unite in.the movement ; in
a few instances highly approving of the project, and
atipulatingto urge upon their Legislatures to make
appropriation's to defray their proportionate share
of the expense. -
I have also, at yotit legneit, selected arid Pur
chased the grounds for this cemetery, the land to be
paid for by, and the title to be made to, the State of
Pennsylvania, and to be held in perpetuity devoted
to the object for which purchased.
The grounds embrace about fourteen deres on
Cemetery Hill; fronting on the Baltimore turnpike,
and extending to the Taneytown road. It is the
ground which formed the apex of our triangular
line . of. battle and the key to our line of defences.
It embraces the highest point on Cemetery Hill, and
overlooks the whole battle-field. It is the spot
which should be specially consecrated to this sacred
purpose, It was here thatauch immense quantities of
our artillery were massed; and during Thursday and
Friday of the battle, from this moat important point
On the field, dealt out death and destruction to the
rebel army in every direction of their ad'ance.
With -
agents
have been in conference, at diribrent times,
agents sent here by the Governors of several of the-
States and we have arranged details' for carrying
out this sacred work. I - herewith enclose you a
copy of the proposed arrangement of details, a
coma which I have also sent to,the Chief Execu
tive of each . State having dead here.
I have also, at your suggestion, cordially. tendered
to each State the privilege, if they desire, of joining
in the title to - the land.
I think it would be showing °rays proper respect
for the health of this community not to commence
the exhumflig of the dead and their removal to the
Cemetery until the month of , November, and in the
meantime the grounds should be artistically laid out
and consecrated by appropriate , ceremonies. •
I am, with great respect, your Excellency's obe.

PENNSYLVANIA EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
HARRISBURG, Pa., August 31, 1863.
Dram SIR : Yours of the 26th instant was duly
received, and ought to have been answered sooner,
but you know how I am pressed. -
I am much pleased with the details for the ceme
tery which you have so thoughtfully suggested,-and
will be glad so far as is in my power, to hasten their
consummation on the part of Pennsylvania.
It is, of course, probable that our sister. States,
joining with us in this hallowed,undertaking, may
desire to make some alterations and modifications
of your proposed plan 'of purchasing and managing
these sacred grounds, and it is my wish that you
give to their views the most careful and respectful
consideration. •
Pennsylvania will be so. highly honored by the
possession within her limits of this soldier's mango•
leum, and so much distinguished among the other
States by their contributions in aid of so glorious a
monument to patriotism and humanity, that it be
comes her duty, as it is her melancholy pleasure, to
yield in every reasonable way to the wishes and sue
gestionkof the States who join with her in dedicating
a portion of her territory to the solemn uses of a na.
tional sepulchre.
The proper consecration of the grounds Must
claim our early attention, and, as Boon as we can do
so, our fell Ow-purchasers should be invited to join
with us in the performance ; of suitable ceremonies
on the occasion.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Arrival of the Transport Jersey—Progress
of the Siege—Fleet-Captain Badger Se
verely Wounded.
The United States transport New Jersey, Capt.
Honie, arrived at this port yesterday from the fleet
off Charleston, having left there on Thursaay last,
September 3. The New Jersey will remain here
for repairs, she having,grounded on the bar during a
gale of wind last month.
When she left the operations against Charleston
were, progressing favorably: On Tuesday, Sep
tember l , there was a general engagement between
the iron-clads and Forte Wagner, Suiapter, and
.Moultrie, which lasted through the night, causing
much damage to the forts.
In, the course of the engagement, Fleet Captain
Oscar C. Badger, the successor of the lamented
Rodgers, had his leg broken by the explosion of a
shell, and it was feared that he would have to suffer
amputatien. No other casualty was reported.-
Fort Sumpter was a complete mass of ruins, and
did not respond to the fire upon her ; so that it was
inferred that it had been abandoned by the rebels.
The New Ironeides was lying at anchor, and was
not actively engaged when the New jersey left.
Admiral Dahlgren, on board the flag-ship Plata
delphia, was inside of the inlet.
On Thursday four of the monitors had gone up
and taken a position nearly abreast of Sumpter,
preparatory to a new attack on the rebel works.
The land batteries wore firing continually, night
and day. There had been no renewal of the bom
bardment of the city, bat new batteries were con
eructed, which would open at the proper time.
The army was in the finest spirits and confident
of succeeds under General Gilmore, who was work
ing with the utmost energy. No mention is made
of his suffering from illness.
The New Jersey passed the brig E. C, Clark, of
Baltimore, going into Morris Island.
The steamship Constitution, of New York, Capt.
Cerinman, had arrived off' Charleston, with her
cylinder broken. She proceeded to Port R,oyal for

The Great Mass Meeting at Springfield,
. Illinois. -
The great Union mass meeting of llliribis, at
which the President's letter was read amid thun
ders of eheßing, was held on the ad inst., at spring
field. The Chicago Tribune describes it as one of
the greatest popular assemblages in. the history of
the country
Within a circle of sixty•five railed S£ SPringfield
the farmers and settlers turned out by thousands, in
teams drawn by two, and often by four horses, each
wagon containing not less than eight, nor more, -
that, we saw, Than ten persons, male, female, and
neuter babies. "All along the' Chicago and Alton
line, even so early as Wednesday afternoon, the
eountty people were assembled at the various sta
tions in scores and. hundreds, to cheer the pilgrims
on the way to the political shrine of Springfield. In
such masses had they poured into Springfield during
.Wednesday, that at 7 o'clock in the evening there
was not sleeping room in the whole city, neither in
the hotels nor the privatehouses, to accommodate
the clamorous - and expectant visitors. Thousands
slept that night, as we heard, in the streets, in wa
gons, and in the adjacent,woods. Daylight had
.scarcely dawned on Thursday before the already
crowded streets and thoroughfares werejammed up
with the incoming vehicles. It was late before the
regular meeting began, and long before the proses
lion made its appearance the covered seats in the
amphitheatre and the , stands were crowded, and up.
wards of a dozen speeches had been made to the mul
titude, who were tired of waiting for the speakers
announced in the printed programme.
Some there were, and those, too, ,who were ac•
customed to attend and address large meetings, who
esliinated it at 125,000 ; others again, striking at
more medium figures, put it down- at 100,000 ; and
this was the lowest estimate. which we heard any
one make of this extraordinary gathering. ,
We are inclined, however, to think that from fifty
to seventy-five thousand was the full extent of the
meeting; and we took considerable pains to make
sure of a reasonable judgment in this 7 respect, by
estimating the number which the amphitheatre
would hold, and comparing the ground which it
covered with the spaces occupied by the vast con
courses of people- within and around the circle.
There might, however, have been MAO in the city,
for, when the fair ground was full Monist to suffoca
tion, the streets, and the roads leading to them from
the outskirts of the city, were literally crowded with
passengers on foot and in vehicles of all sorts, sizes,
and descriptions.
We have attended many political meetings, but
we never maw one- before which evinced so much
determination, earnestness, !sincerity, manliness,
and unmistakable patriotic feeling. There were
no party demonstrations or feelings manifested. It
was, as if - an assembly of the nation sat there to de
cide the fate of the Republic. There was no levity
anywhere—but a Hebrew solemnity. Around the
stand where we stood, we observed, whilst Governor
Yates MS speaking of the priceless value of our
liberties, and of the great sacriflces that had been
made in every home in Illinois to defend- them, we
observedscores of old and middle-aged men weeping
like little children. No doubt they had lost some
one, or more, of their children, and understood, all
too well, the touching pathos of the words.

The English frigate Medusa, bound from Nagasaki
to Kanagawa, by the Island passage, was on the
16th of July attacked by the same forts and vessels
that had previously fired on the American ship
rembsoke. The Medusa received ttienfy-four shots,
and was much injured. She had 4 men killed and 6
wounded. •
On the 20th July the American steam frigate
Wyoming arrived at Kanagawa, from a trip to pun
ish the Darnio, whose vessels and forts had fired on
the Pembroke.. The Wyoming reported having done
her work well. She blew - up the Japanese steamer
Saueefield, silenced nearly all the neighboring forts,
and left the Japanese steamer Leneck in a sinking
condition. The WVoming received: twenty shots,
and had five men killed, and six wounded, when she

PERSONAL.
Margaret Agnes Guelph, who claimed to be the
lawful wife of Albert Edward Guelph, the Prince of
Wales, lately brought a charge against Rev. James
Roe, of the Roman Catholic Oratory, Brompton,
near London. The police report tells us that the
complainant, a respectable-looking woman,, about
thirty:five yeare of age, stated. that in September,
1861, she was married to Albert Edward Guelph, at
NO. 4 Talet's place, Brornpton, by. Cardinal, Wise
'man, aocOrdidg to the rites of the Roman Catholic
Church. Many persons were present. In the even.
ing, after the celebration of the marriage, Father
_Roe, who remained with her wished - her to enter a
convent. She refused, and .because she refused he
said that' she should not have the certificate of her
marriage to *row the public. He forced it from her
by violence, and ill used,her in a Cruel manner. He
took her certificate from her pocket and drew her
ring off,by his teeth. She could not tell exactly the
date of her marriage. Her poverty prevented her
from taking proceedings before. She had never !seen
her husband since. -He promised to come the next
morning. Her marriage , was entirely forced upon
her. She had a copy of a letter she had addressed
to her Majesty.' She never received any answer.
Father Roe, the defendant, gave evidence that she
had called on him, in great destitution, at the ora
tory, and.at her request he had got her boy into an
orphanage. He could not - account for her making
the charge against him unless she was mad. The
magistrate came to the conclusion that the woman
was laboring under a delusion, and therefore dis.
missed the summons,
The N. Y. Times, of yesterday, says : Delmont
co's establishment on Broidway was the observed
of all observers yesterday, in consequence of a dead
buck, which had been sent to him by, our gallant fel.
'`low-tOwnsman, General Daniel E. Sickles. Now
this buck (not the 0. P. F., but an antlered monarch
of the forest) was of about 270 prude weight, and
was shot near Lake George a few days ago by Gen.
Sickles, who had mounted a horse with rifle in hand,
for the purpose of trying his skill as a sportsman.
After riding for awhile through the forests, and
along the lake, he discovered the object of his pur
suit, and, bringing the rifle to his shOulder, with un
erring- aim he set the bullet whistling into -the
heart of the noble deer. On the following day the
General also laid upon the earth to rise no more, a
beautiful doe, weighing 155 pounds. It must be
pretty severe pastime fora man with only one leg
to undertake deer-hunting upon horseback.
In speaking of the abusive epithets with which
the name of President Lincoln has been treated in
the South, a cotemporary says: "It is curious, re.
collecting.all this, to witness the eagerness which
these same rebels at present manifest to possess
. themselves of his likeness. There is, in fact, nothing
in the fine "arts more esteemed in Southern circles
just now than 'the counterfeit presentment? of the
man against whom all these ugly epithets were
hurled.” • -
Gen. Pleasanton has completed his official re
port of the operations of the cavalry in The late cam

loss of the cavalry corps from June 9 to the present

four thousand. This illustratesl&e severity of the
cavalry service very strikingly.
Major Henry A. White of, the Isth Pennsylva

and discipline, breach of arrest, and absence with

THE Geniis/al' Orniza..—German Opera has not
yet that high position in America which its merits
deserve. The Italian Opera hoe, for twenty years,
had undisputed poesessiem of our lyric stage, and it
is not singular that a people, young in music, should
prefer its rich and sensuous melody to the colder
beauty of its rival. For twenty yearswe have beers
condemned to Verdi, Bellini, and Dorizetti. With
out disparaging these eminent composers, men of
rare genius, we certainly naay aayfor the public that
it has long been tired of musieso monotonous,
and a repertoire so limited: We have seen that
unmistakable evidence of a low artistic stand
ard-the subordination of music to the mu.
stolen. For years great singers have been our
only sensations: old . operas and new artists—not
Mozart, but Gazzaniga; not Meyerbeer, but Colson.
To this cheap and easy, method of managing the
opera many of the greatest works of the age were
sacrificed. How long has it been since "Le Prophete"
was sung in this country I How often has the "Hu
guenots" been produced in Philadelphial Was not
Mozart almost unknown save: by ' , Don Giovanni,"
and Beethoven little more than a name' Until
Carl Anchutz began the German Opera last season
you could have counted the performances of " Ft
dello" on your fingers. He, [greatly to his credit
be it said, with scanty resources, with a poor com
pany, and a capital orchestra, produced several
great and a number of good works, and revealed to
the public another world of music. In spite of its
many deficiencies, the German opera, at first a
doubtful experiment, triumphed. One or two good
artists aided to make it so, but it was chiefly sue
ceoeful because of the intrinsic merits of the music.
To the Italian Opera we wish fresh laurels and
bouquets innumerable. Let the troubadour still be
ground out on the organ, and the passion of Lucre
:cue, the miseries of Leonora, still be whistled by all
the newsboy& ii is safe. He and his confreres
will keep their thrones ; but let us build new ones
for the great German master& who aro, at the least,
equally worthy of our worip. .
Mr. Anchutz, encouraged by the appreciation of
the public, will have this season a company deal
dedly superior to that of last year. The names of
the artists are not yet announced, and it is not cer
tain that Mesdames Dora Lasslo, Zirndorfer, and
the other artists whose appearance is rumored, are
engaged. It is probable, however, that we shall• ;
have them all. Of the old company we are glad that
Mr. Anchutz retains Madame Bertha Johannsen, a
true and earnest artist, whose aid was indispensable
to the German opera last winter. Madame Rotter,
very popular in this city, is not re-engaged. Mr.
Wienlich and Mr, Graetf .continue members of the
company.
Of the new artists, Marguerite Zirndorfer is pro
bably the best, and said to be a very fine dramatic
singer. She is a Jewess, of good personal appear
ance, light haired, and made her debut some years
ago, in Germany, as Agatha, in " Der Freischutz."
Dora Lassie's great part is Aroma; she singe in the
grand style, and. is almost as stout as Madame Lo
rini. Madame Bywater is an English artist, and if
her voice' is still good, will be very, pleasing in such
rides as Martha. She is, we are, told, even smaller
than Madame Rater. Madame Behrends, well
known here as a concert singer, is also engaged.
The basso, D'Alle Aste, has high reputation- The
baritone will be William Formes, a brother of Carl.
Who will be the tenor we do not know, but, itis
. certain, neither Quint nor Lotti. The first has se•
ceded, and the second is engaged by Maretzek for
such pleasing. parts as that of Carlo, in _Linda."
Four ladies and four 'gentlemen from Europe will
strengthen the chorus., and the, orchestra will be
proportionately improved. • -
From the German Opera we may, therefore, expect
much new and beautiful music, with artiste worthy
to produce it. Madame Dora Lassie will make her
first appearance in the Evryanthe of Weber, the cho
ruses of which are now in active rehearsal. The
company, probably, not certainly, composed of the
artists we WW2 named, was to have sailed frol
Hamburg on the sth inatant, and is expected to
arrive.about the 20th. lEarly in October the season
will begin in Baltimore and Washington. Gour
rod's] opera of "Faust and Marguerite" will be the
first opera produced. The full programthe is not
yet determined ; but 'among the novelties of Mr.
nchutz's repertoire are ~ Euryanthe," by Weber;
"The Templar and the Jeweas," by Marachner;
"Hans Heiling," by Marsclmer ; "Endre," by Flo
tow; the " Wassertrager," by Cherubini; "Jesaou•
dra, by Spohr ; "Gustavus," by Auber "Der Waf
fenschmidt' (the Aimorer), by Lortzing ; "La Dame
Blanche," by Boildieu ; the " Adler's Horsti' (Ea
gle'a Neat), by Glaser; and "Orpbee and Euper,"
I by Offenbach. These works, with those produced
for the first time last winter, and still new to the
public, will make a magnificent programme. One
of the best artists of Germany is engage 4 to paint
the necessary scenery.
The Italian Opera will commence with Max
Maretzek's campaign at the New 'Fork Academy of
Music, on the 6th of October; "Robert le Diable"
will begin the season, with a cast including Medori
(expected to arrive in the next Cunard steamer at
Boston), Sulzer, Mazzo'.erd, Bellini, and Biachi.
The chorus will be - improved, we are happy to be
assured. Mr. Grail is now. in Europe engaging

she was heard, and the only regret manifested was,
simply, that she did not sing oftener.

Defences of Philadelphia.
Yesterday we visited several of the fortifications
in and around the city, erected as a defence against
any future raid of the rebels that might perchance
be made into the State, as was the'case last fall and
this summer. The one rani under construction in
the Fairmount Park is of a pentagon shape, with a
circular bastion on the southern face. The parapet is.
composed of earth and sand well pressed,and rivetted
with twelve inches thick of grass sod on each side.
It is from ten to twelve feet wide at the top. The
ditch that surrounds it is twelve feet wide, with a
depth of from five to seven feet. The whole work
is covered with a surface-sod. It is capable o
mounting seven guns, most of which can be brought
to bear on any one point. The fort commands the
crest of the hills on the opposite aide ofthe Schuyl
kill river, together with the approachea to the city
in that direction. The Pennsylvania Railroad is
also guarded by it. There are about one hundred
men at ' present engaged upon the fort, which will be
finished by the latter part of this week. Great
pains have been' taken to.' finish it in a superior
manner, in order that it may add beauty to the
Park, and , interest those who may visit that place.
This fortification was- commenced on the lath of
July last, under the supervision of Mr. Henry Mc-
Intyre. A small redan, made for two guns, has
been erected on the north side of the Park-fort,
which commands the Girard-avenue bridge.
The Herdonville fort is situated about half a mile
above-that-place, on a high hill. It is built, in
almost • every respect, like the one at Fairmount
Park, with the exception of its not having a circular
bastion. It is braced on the inside with heavy tim
ber. A room has been dug out under the parapet,
which is boarded neatly, and will be used aa a: maga
zine. This fort is finished, but has not been occu
pied. It will mount five guns. The positions com
manded by it are the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
L.caster Pike, having a clear sweep up the latter'
road. It is somewhat smaller, than the one previ
ously described.
A small fortification has likewise been erected at
the Darby road and Chestnut street; Which, like the
previOus one, is formed like_ a pentagon. FiVe guns
may be mounted within enclosure. It
about the same area of ground as the, Hestonville
fort. The. purposes for which this fort was con
structed we mightjudge, but. Whether it would be of
any use when needed: oUld be difficult to tell, as we
could tee no particular point of interest which this
place was erected to cominand. Like the former
one, it is finished but remains idle, no one being seen
about the place. • : , .
The West Point fort, on the (}ray's Ferry road,
near the bridge, is also Completed; but - not, se yet,
occupied. It. Is in the forni of• a square, and will be
-mounted irithfoursuns. This fort commands the
slyer on two aides ; also, the Philadelphia, Wilining.
ton, and Baltimore Railroad, which paella the foot
of the hill on which it is eieoted.
A small redan Bas ciao ;men built on the north
side of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Balti
more Railroad, between the ara s mal and the Sohuyi
kill river. This earthwork is open on the south
front. It will mount two guns, anul it may be used
to prevent the deatruction of the Pemmylvania-Rail
road bridge.
The bills for the erection of these .fortifications
have not, as yet, been presented to the Committee
for the Defence and Protection of, the city,' but there
is no doubt that these bills will be of an tenon:cons
amount on account of the want of energiv on the
part of the_nbordinates in pushing these' works
forward with greater speed than has bden don's. It
is the subject a general remark that while these
defences. have been under way nearly two n 'onenthKe
the same works might have been erected in one
fourth the time by those having charge of such
matters in the Army of the Potomac.
CAMP WILLIAM PENN.—This- ellearrtp
went is at present occupied by the Gtli regiment of
United Statee colored volunteers, now under pm-
Pen of forination. It is situated about &gar mile
from Chelton Hills and a mile front the Old York
road station, and may be reached by the NortfrPenn..
sylvaria Railroad, the cars of which stop eV either
of the above places. The field selectedfor the pur
pose could not be a more suitable one, ea it is• situ-.
ated on a high hill and commands a tolerably good
view of the country for a short distance around, but
the scenery is not so grand as one 'might desire, al-.
though the good locality is of far greater advantage
than these deficiencies. As far as shade la concerned;
very little of it, is to be seen, as there are but few
trees on the field, and they, being small, are of little .
or no protection whatever. The soltliers are con
stantly exposed to a broiling sun, but which they ,
are much better able to stand than the white sol
diers, many of them being from the" Sunny South."
The camp is laid off in streets similar to other mill
tary camps. Each company occupies one side of the
street, which contains twenty shelter•tents,; sack
accommodating font men, making eighty menin all—
the minimum number of each company. The ave
nues are well laid out, and everything about the
camp presents an excellent appearance; in fact,
cleanliness is a very important feature, visible to
the eye. The ground is broomed every morning
regularly from all rubbish, by a guard selected for
the purpose, and who are commonly denominated la
military:terms, " The Police." The officers are
quartered in fine, large tents to the left of their re
spective companies, and about fifty yards off. The
water accommodations, which is a vary essential
pointconnected with the aelection of a site for an
encampment, are excellent, and easy of access. A.
creek, which tows along at the foot of the hill,
a few imndred yards distant, furnishes all the
water the companies may have occasion to
use for ccoking purposes, while a spling close
by supplies them with superior drinking water.
There is also another very useful accommodation,
for their mutual benefit, in the way of a place for
bathing purposes. A portion of the creek, some dia.
tante away from where the cooking water is pro
cured, has been dug out to the depth of eiht feet,
and a high fence built around it, where the soldiers
can enjoy the pleasures attending a good bath, and
also the benefit derived from having their bodies
cleansed from the dirt that must necessarily accumu
late upon them while -lounging about the camp.
They are well supplied with all the necessaries of
life allowed by the' United States, and as far as the
"living-" is concerned have no reason to complain_
whatever; neither do they murmur against the
victuals which .they receive. Colonel Wagner, the
commander of the poet, is also acting quartermaster,
and the regimental quartermaster draws from Itim.-•
ten day's' rations being delivered at a time. This
method of proceeding works very satisfactorily, the
regiment being well supplied with good nutritious
food. They receive coffee, tea, bread, and molasses
daily; fresh beef two and three times a week; also
bean and pea soup occasionally, together wi'.-1-other
minor articles.
A large number of persons visit the camp. daily,
most of them being white people, who asem to titre
a great interest in the welfare and advancement of
the colored volunteers. As a matter of course,
numbers of colored people of both sexes may also
be seen strolling around, accompanied by theireol
diet friends • of these visitors, the female sex seems
to predominate, and very affectionately are they re
ceived, by these men, who no doubt feel within
themselves that before another month is passed they
may be "sleeping the sleep that knows no waking,. ,
hence the importance ob..aa much intercourse with
th.eir i friends as they are allowed to have.
This regiment is progressing very rapidly in its
formation, there being4even full companies of eighty
men each, making, in all, NO. Three-fifths of the
regiment is composed of drafted men and substitutes
from different parts of this State and Delaware.
Twenty eight substitutes from the latter State ar
rived arrived in camp on Thursday last, and were
immediately placed in the seventh company, thereby
filling it up to its' minimum number. Squads are
coming in every day, but few of them arevolunteers.
The, recruiting business is becoming rather slack,
and the colored folks do not come out with that
spirit which influenced them while the, 3d Regi
ment was being recruited here.
Although the regiment numbers nearly aix hum.
died men, yet the Government has not appointed up
to this time more thane eight officers. They eom.-
prise one captain, six lieutenants, and'one quarter
master, ranking as lieutenant, and these officers
have as much duty to perform as they can well at
tend to. In conversation with some of them, they
appear to be very favorably impressed with the
conduct and discipline of the men under their com
mand, comparatively few being under arrest for
disobedience and inattention to duties. They are
very docile and willing to perform the various du
ti:a regnired of them ; in fact, it seems their chief
ambition to become well-drilled and efficient sol
diers,,and thereby show to those Who are influenced
against the negroes that it is not an impossibility to
create good fighting soldiers out of the colored citi
zens. It iss - remarkable to witness the great profi
ciency to which they have already attained in so
short a space of time, the regiment not being in
existence more than three or- four_ weeks. They
have two different drills daily, occupying from four
to five hours altogether. The company drtll sakes
place at 9 o'clock A. M., and the battalion drill front
to 5 o'clock P. lit. The last-named drill is ,
worthy of notice, but few mistakes being made, and
they of such a slight character as to be easily reme
died by a little more experience. It is drilled by
Col. Wagner, of the 88th Pennsylvania Volunteer;
who was detached and ordered to command this
post. •Be is a person of excellent military - qualities,
and these, combined with his being a perfect gentle
man, make him admired by not only the officers, but
'also those whom he ham had occasion to have plaeed
under his immediate supervision. It is rumored that
he will be appointed to command the colored brigade
now raising in this city, and there is no doubt butthat
a more Suitable person could not be appointed for
such a position. A. remnant of thirty men, belong.
leg to 'the the sd Regiment, detained here by sickness
and other causes, together with one captain and
three lieutenants, expect to leave for Pdorris Island,
on' Monday next, to join their regiment at that
place. The health of the men is excellent, there
being but four in the hospital, which is composed of
a large tent with two apartments, one occupied as a
laboratory, and the Other for the - Use - of the sick.
his Wade Islander the immediate charge of Post Sur
geonllea, and is regulated in a highly satisfactory
manner. The large tent belonging to the Younglideres
Christian Association, of this city, has been secured
by a few of the Supervisory Committee, and
will be erected in a few days for the purpose of reli•
gious exercises, and also that of imparting know
ledge and instruction to those of the soldiers who
are deficient in education. Some of the more intel
ligent men have I:sen selected' to teach the different
branches of literature, such as arithmetic, grammar,
spelling, reading, and writing. The object is by all
means a good one, and needs to be sustained by per.
sons of a Christian feeling. The money appropri.
aced for its sustenance comes from a private sub.
scription, and has nothing whatever to do with the
military department, it having been contributed in
part by those having conscientious motives in regard
to furnishing aid to support the war, and alsO"by
others ore different persuasion.
-
Taken altogether, the camp is well worth visit

take place, calculated to please those present. 'The
