Ely Vrtss. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1863. The Battle at Chattanooga. The general impression is that the contest at Chattanooga has been a drawn battle, and although•the pleasures of victory have only increased by their repetition, and we can scarcely believe in any other result, we shall be satisfied if in the end it is found to be a drawn battle. It is, perhaps, too soon to speculate upon the precise nature of the campaign which is thus brought to the issue of arms. The Western Department has been little more than an intricate game of chess, in which the pieces were moved slowly and cautiously with the idea of gaining the game by strategy and not by conquest. For eight months ROSECRANS has been hold ing the rebels in their strongholds, gradually drawing his lines around them, and quietly forcing BRAGG from Tennessee to Georgia. This he has done so quietly, so patiently, but still so surely, that it befit created alarm and panic in the South, without more than a common newspaper mention in the - Worth. "It is a terrible thing," and a Richmond newspaper commenting upon the strategy of ROSRCRANS, " to see the whole State of Tennessee—absolutely the whole—in the hands of the enemy." Nor did this rebel writer exaggerate the defeat—for Tennessee is now as absolutely in the possession of the Union as Massachusetts. Knoxville, the most cherishedithasession of the rebellion, for there treason assumed the license of ma lignancy, was finally released, and with it the whole mountain country of lower Virginia and- Tennessee— a country which has shown the noblest evidences of patriotic devotion. The strategy which accomplished these re sults caused great - distress to the rebellion, and threatened it with calamities - that would certainly have proved fatal. Leaving Ten nessee in the hands of the loyal people, Rosis. cstaN s moved into the great, state of Georgia, while BURNSIDE. had the choice ef throwing his forces into North Carolina or Virginia. He held what- are called "the mountains, Which are the back-door of Virginia;" ROBECRANEI was coming within easy dis tance of Atlanta, the great- dopot of the South, containing the workshops, ordnance stores, and powder mills, and another re treat on the part of BRAGG might bring the Federal guns within range. Therefore something was necessary to be done. Whatever 'may have been - the motives animating General BRAGG, it is certain that no resource remained but a battle or annihi lation. He could retreat no further without bringing : ROSECRANS into the very midst of ikorgia--rich and gait ant Georgia, the Em pire State of the South, and now the source of Southern strength. Therefore the battle at Chattanooga. Supposing the Union forces to be recklessly divided, and anxious to throw a column upon the centre with the view of defeating Rosizenmis and Hoax- SIDE in detail, Geneial BRAGG made the attack which results in the battle described this morning. We cannot call it a victory, for he was enabled after the battle to hold his ground, and what is known as military law prevents us from claiming a triumph. But when we remember that the attack was made with the view of routing Rosier - taws —that the attacking force comprised the flower of the army of the West, and a great part of LEE'S army of the East—when we 'reflect upon the desperation of the rebel cause, and the despair with which men thus placed would fight, and see that in spite of all these incentives and- ne cessities BRAGG was unable to make any impression upon the Union forces, and that unless he made such an- impression the op. portunity would pass away, we may safely claim the result of the Chattanooga battle, so far as known, as a great triumph. Rosa- CRANS has again shown us the qualities which gave him glory on the fearful day of Murfreesboro. Fierce, earnest, unconquer able energy—a passion for victory that seems to set his soul on fire, and a tenacity which nothing can destroy—these gained the day in Tennessee, and we have a confidence that they will gain a greater clay in Georgia. The Duties and Respousibilities of Loyal Three weeks from to-day the people of Pennsylvania will be called upon to decide between the friends of the Government and the enemies of the Government. This is the plain issue in brief; hut notwithstand ing the gravity of the.nrinciple..,-.=rd ate extent of the . cousequences involved in this unexampled struggle, there is nearly as muck activity among the enemies of the Government as among its friends. The former have, in fact, so contrived to excite the .prejudices of their followers as to create a hope that they will be enabled to:defeat Governor ConmiN ; and all good and loyal men must therefore be pre pared for a series of intrigues such as have been unknown in previous political conflicts. One of the great objects of the sympathizers with treason in this State is to roll up heavy majorities in the counties generally regarded as Democratic strong holds ; and to effect this object, they are now circniating the most scandalous calum nies against the constituted authorities, and especially against the war measures of Con gress. We have a reasonable anticipation, however, that when the character of this malignaPt and causeless antagonism is fully understood by the Deinocratic Masses, they will do what many thousands of the same school did in Maine at the late elec tion. And we believe that when they reflect upon the fact that a large pro 7 portion of gentlemen, heretofore regarded as leaders of the Democracy, are now earnestly upholding the Administration of the Federal Government, and sternly opposing the rebels and their sympathizers, they will then discover that those who assume to be the dictators and mouth-pieces of the old Democratic organization are only the mouth-pieces of treason itself. Now in Maine there was extraordinary activity and energy among the Copperheads; They stood upon a platform similar to that occupied by WoobwAtti? and his party. They were aided by all the appliances now so familiar to the enemies of the Govern ment in, this Stale. There, as here, the same ,hue and cry was raised against the draft. There, as here, the same demand was retitle for peace with the rebels. And ;there, as here, the same bitter invectives were hurled against the President, and against every Democrat brave and bold enough to take ground against the, betrayers and despoilers of his old organization. The consequence was that a revolt took place in the bosom of that once honored party, of so extensive a cha racter as to shatter and,dislocate it from one extremity to the other; and, although thou sands of Republicans were absent on distant battle-fields, to crown the Union with majority ever thrown in ;:that State. What transpired in Maine ought to transpire in Pennsylvania on the thir- teenth of October. Indeed; we have a larger stake in this contest than our fellow-citizens of Maine ;-for while contending for the same principles, we are struggling for protection against more immediate dangers. A decla ration of our principles against the Govern ment at Washington, and against the war (because there is not a leader of the Copper heads that is not opposed to both), is a di rect invitation to the rebels to invade our borders. Let an honest Democrat ponder these things at his ftreside, and he cannot fail to turn away from men so blind and so deaf to a high and exacting duty. There is no time to be lost. Three weeks from to-day the question will be decided. Every friend of the country should give all his time to the good - oause. A. grave responsibilitY is placed upon the loyal men who live in such coffin- ties as Montgomery, I3erks, Northampton, - Lehigh, Monroe, Luzern7, York, Greene, - Westmoreland, and Fayette, and wherever the enemies of the country expect to secure a heavy endorsement of their nefarious and treasonable policy.,. The game of our oppo nents is to poll enormous majorities in such counties as these, and our efforts should be steidilYr.directed to the spread of truth, and to the dissipation and correction of, false h ooie t . . . Death of Colonel Robert M. Lee. We are grieved to announce the death of, Colonel R - oßEra M. LE; of Philadelphia. He died yesterday morning, in the city of New York, very suddenly, the occasion of his death being a disease of the heart. Col. LEE appeared perfectly well up to the mo ment of his death, although for a year .or two past he has been complaining of the Malady which caused his death. He was in the fifty-eighth year of his age. There were few men in Philadelphia more widely known and more universally es` teemed than our brave, gifted, and impetu ous friend. There was that in the heart of ROBERT M. LEE Which never submitted to a wrong ; an unsuspicious and confiding fiankness, which made him a friend to be loved and 'an enemy to be dreaded. _ And when - we say this, we say all that can be said of him. Before the war he was a Democrat, full in the faith and devoted to the Democratic organization. When war came and treason unveiled its bloody front, lie spurned it, and attached himself to the Union. Nor was it a mere gentle effort of duty. His devotion to tlie cause was fierce and exhausting.. -He hated the rebellion and all who sympathized with it with a hatred so intense 'tint no words can describe it. And, although at _that pe riod of life *lien the soul seeks peace and the body rest, he entered into the service as an aid upon the staff of General Cattiv.A.La- DEll, serving in the early campaigns until his health prevented him from further active duty, when the President tendered him an appointment as paymaster in the army, a position he held at the time of his death. Be gave his two sons to the cause, and in the peninsular campaign one of them died gloriously, in the midst of battle, while the other was dangerously wounded, at his side. The love of the Union was in the blood, and they gave tlmir blood for its salvation. Pennsylvania had few nobler sons than ROBERT M. LEE, and his death will be mourned by thousands. GOVERNOR CurarN addressed the loyal citizens of Easton yesterday, and will speak to-day at Norristown, when a great occa sion and a great concourse may be antici pated. General BUTLER will speak at Ox ford, Chester county, to-day. Thus it would seem that the campaign which opened so auspiciously at Erie, has crossed the Alla gbanies, and progressed towards the East, where a glorious consummation awaits it. ME. WILLIAM B. RED has made a speech at Aleadville, in which he speaks of Governor Currni as " a pensioner of the Government." If all who hold public office are pensioners, .it strikes us that Yfr. WILLIAM B. BRED, who held office as long as " circumstances over Which he had no control " would permit him, must be re garded as an ex-pensioner, ONE of the Copperhead newspapers, or journals rather, speaks of Governor Cult as "a travelling candidate." We presume that after the election, it will, with eqUal candor, speak of Mr. justice WOODWARD as the candidate who staid at home. THE editor of THE PRESS would:thank - the author of the communication signed "R." to send him his name. When that is done, it will receive attention. (VI Q 1( Special Despatches to The Press WASHINGTON, D. 0., Sept. 21, 1863 Despatches from Admiral Porter. Rear Admiral PORTER, writing to the Navy De partment from Cairo, under date of September 15, nye: The river below seems quiet. There has been but one attempt made to obstruct commerce or-naviga tion. A body of guerillas attached the gunboat Champion from behind the levee, while she was con veying a body of troops below. The troops passed on safely, and the Champion stopped and fought the rebels until she made them retire, losing some 'of their men—report says fifty seven. The gunboats pick up deierters every day, who say the rebels don't intend to fight in Arkansas, and that with proper steps she will be in the Union again in forty days. Lieutenant BACHE captured a 001. MATTOCK, who was on a conscripting expedition, and it gaire unusual satisfaction to all the people. Gene' al Hunter has arrived here, to preside over a commission to investigate the burning of the Ruth.

Arraignment of Draft Surgeons. Captain JAMES E.' DUNHAM, povost marshal, and .T.a.srair P. BREWBTRR, commissioners for the Fourth district of Connecticut, have been dismissed, and the sutgeon of tire same board of enrolment, Dr. S. T. SALISBURY, has been arrested, and ordered for trial before a court martial, under the fifteenth section of the enrolment act ; also, Dr. N. H. lYf..an SELS, surgeon for the First district of Pennsylva nia, is to be arraigned on similar charges. " This section provides : " That any surgeon charged with the duty of such inspection, who]shall receive from any person whomsoever any money or other valuable thing, or agree, directly or indirectly, to receive the same to his owa or another's use, for - making an imperfect inspection, or a false or incor rect report, or who shall wilfully neglect to make a faithful inspection and true report, shall be tried by a court martial, and on conviction thereof, be pun iahed by a fine not exceeding live hundred dollars, nor less than two hundred dollars, and be impri soned, at the diseretion of the court, and be cashiered and dismissed from the service." Captain JACOB S. STRETCH, PIC/7MA lERrBII9.I of the Third District of Pennsylvania, has been dis missed. It may not be generally known that the causes which exempt from service under the enrolment act are not an numerous as those governing the military service in Europe. The examinations under that act are conducted with about the came particularity SO In our regular army. The liat of cases was pre pared by a board of surgeons, and sanctioned by the military authorities, apart from any agency of the Provost Marshal General. Unsuccessful Bunt for 'White's Guerillas. Reliable information has reached Washington that at noon, on Friday last, Colonel LOWELL, in command of the 2d Massachusetts and detachments of the 13th and 16th New York Cavalry, started out in pursuit of the rebel guerilla WIHTE. He found WHITE had crossed Goose creek, at Cockellsford, and traversed the country in nearly a straight line towards Mount Gilead and Hughesville, passing near Ball's Mills, at eleven o'clock on that day. The trail was discovered early on the morning of the 19th, and was followed to a point near Mount Gilead. Satisfactory evidence appearing that WHITE was back on the Sniakereville road, Colonel Lowirrx returned through Dover and Aldie to camp. As the result of the expedition, three of WHITE'S men were captured and one killed. Four citizene on horseback- were'also arrested under suspicious circumstances. In some of the places visited by Colonel Lowara,, he was informed that WHITE had notified citizens that they had been conscripted, but no steps, it appeare, had been taken to force them into the service. It was currently reported at Aldie that both WHITE and Mom= had re• ceived orders to leave Loudoun county . , and move nearer the main army. Nearly all of these guerillas that have been recently home have gone west with in a day or two. Steamship Niagara. The magnificent steamship Niagara, of five thou sand tone and an enormous battery, is now ready for sea, - at Bolton, where she has been fitted- to be convenient to the patriotic class of fishermen who have so long manifested an earnest desire to enlist in the navy. The early departurepf this or min Laird rebel rains, with the connivance of the British Govern ment. Enlistments or Fishermen. Enlistments from fishermen have been retarded, owing to the fact that the fishing season has proved unusually successful, while the demand for the pro ducts has advanced beyond all former precedents. Success In their labors makes them very independ ent. In view of rich prizes, it is supposed the busi ness of recruiting for the navy will be additionally stimulated. Scouting and Captures. A scouting, party has been patroling the country between Oecoquan, Dumfries, and Brentsville, for the last five days, during which they scattered the rebel guerillas in that vicinity, captured a number of their horses, and also brought in eight deserters. The Sanitary Commission. . - Private advises from Virginia City, Nevada Terri tory, say that additional subscriptions to the amount of $9,000, have been made there for the Sanitary Commission; the money to be forwarded in silver bricks of about $l,OOO each. This serves as an evi dence of the mineral resources of that Territory, as well as theliherality of its citizens. • • Execution or Deserters. A letter from the Army of the Potomac to-night, states that as many as seven substitutes, who had deserted, were shot in the several corps toward the close of last week. Prompt and extreme punish ment awaits this class of offenders, without the hope of pardon. Capture of Prizes. The Navy 'Department has received, informa tion of the . capture of the schooner Flying Scud, by the steamer Princess Royal on. the 12th ultimo. She was from Brazos, Texas, and loaded with cotton. The United States , bark Gem of the Sea, on the 31st ult., off Charleston harbor, 'Florida, 'captured the sloop. Richard, five tons burden, loaded with eight and a half- bales of cotton. THE BATTLE IVEIR CIIITTAIIO96I. OUR TROOPS ARE DRIVEN, BUT REGAIN THEIR GROUND. Desperate Fighting—Severe Losses, TEN RUNS CAPTURED FRON THE EPiRDIY, AND SEVEN 1,05 T. THE BATTLE UNDECIDED OirforssrATl, - Sept. 21.=A special despatch to the Commercial gives the following account or the tight on Saturday : The battle opened at eleven o'clock, In the vicinity of Widow Glenne, on the road leading front MaLa more's Cave to Chattanooga, and soon became general, the enemy manoeuvring troops finely. Early in the action the rebels matte an impetuous charge on the famous Loomis battery. Five out of six guns were captured. Captain Vanpclt, com manding the battery, was taken prisoner. At two o'clock the contest was terrific. The roll of musketry was far more continuous and deafening than at the battle of Stono river. At 2.40 P. M., the division on the centre being pushed and broken, retreated in disorder. Colonel Barnett planted his battery and soon checked the pursuing enemy, who in turn were dri" ven in dieorder over the same ground. General Davis , division was driven bask with heavy loss, and every gun of the Eighth Indiana battery captured. when his forces rallied, pushed the enemy back, and retook their guns. Reynokis lost heavily, but stubbornly held his ground, driving the enemy, but never leaving his lines. Palmer also was overwhelmed and failed to get off; his whole battery and two guns were lost. Van Cleve, after fighting gallantly, lost his ground and was overpowered, failing to regain his position. Our line, pressed severely, wavered, and the rebels, exulting over their apparent success, made the air resound with cheers. They advanced along the whole line, and when within our fire, the musketry rolled from right to left, and until 6 o'clock the fighting was terrific. The General grew anxious.. The wounded poured in and the rebels moved steadily up to hie head quarters. New forces were opposed to them, and from this time till dark the battle raged with destructive fury. At dusk, the firing having almost Ceased, the enemy threw forward fresh troops and again en gaged our right. The action became general, and until long after dark raged with fury. The battle thus far has been a bloody one. Our loss is very heavy, and the prisoners say that some of their regiments were almost annihilated. Both armies occupy the same ground as when the action began. We have captured several hundred prisoners, many of whomare from the Bast. We took tea guns and lost seven. KANSAS. ST. Louis, Sept. 2l.—The steamer Marcella was boa] du] and plundered on the 15th inst., at Do ver Landing, in Lafayette county. Three soldiers of the sth State Militia, whe were returning home on a furlough, were taken ten miles into the woods, and shot, The boat was not burned. During the past week 6,000 persons have crossed the river at Lexington. They are mostly refugees from the border counties, Cats county, under Ewing's order, has been mostly depopulated. A NEWSPAPER DIFFICULTY ST. LOUIS, Sept. 21.—0 n Friday last the Union newspaper, and semi-official organ of General Schofield, and the Conservatives, published an edi torial reflecting on General Ewing for depopulating certain border counties. On Saturday, Capt. Price, of the Ist Kansas Re giment, made out charges and specifications charg ing G. M. Grissom, the editor of the Union, with violating Gen. Schoileld's order, No. 96, by pub lishing matter calculated to embarrass the military authorities, and filed them with the Adjutant Gene ral, demanding an investigation. Mr. Grissom has not yet been arrested ; but, as Capt. Price will not withdraw the charges, it seems that the organ of the authors of the order is likely to be the first victim. . JAPAN. Favorable Change Towards America. Sex PnAxorseo, Sept. 21.—Arrived, ship Herald of the Morning, from Boston. A private letter from American Minister Pruyn, dated-Hanagawn, Japan, August 10th, says " The prompt resentment of the outrage upon our flag has resulted most favorably. "The Wyoming, with six guns, destroyed a Saps nese steamer, bark and brig. mounting twenty-two guns, besides engaging six batteries. The accom plishment of so much, with so little means; as tonished the Government and the people; and, what is strange, the Government is obliged to us." Other advises of the same date say that the British fleet has gone to the Laintimus Dominions, to demand £25,000 indemnity, and the surrender of the murderers of Richardson. If the money is not paid a considerable campaign will be inaugurated against the Damios. Dates from Shanghae to July 21st state that the Cholera is raging there with unabated fury, and the mortality is fearful. T. 3 "JEZOICI 'I?

The City of Washington arrived off Queenstown about IP. M. on the Bth. THE STEAM-RAMS-NOR THE CONFEDERATES. The London Morning Post, in a short- article respecting the two iron-clads building at Liverpool, ages: - "-There.is now, we believe, little doubt that under the terms of the Foreign Enlistment act they are to be detained by G-bvernment. The allegation against them is that they are fitted out for the pur pose of carrying on hostilities against the - United States. On the other hand, it is contended that they were built by order of a French house, for the late Pasha of Egypt, who gave the firm a commission for the coinage of a large sum of money in France, and for the construction of two steam-rams in Ea. gland. The money was duly coined and received in Egypt. The vessels were in course of construction when the Pasha died, and his successor repudiated that part of the contract. What the French house intends to do with them is not known. The accusation is that they are destined for war with ft friendly Power ;• they will 1 consequently be detained, and a court of law will determine whether under the terms of the Foreign Enlistment act the detention is legal, or whether I ne owners can recover them from the hands of the Go vernment. The Executive Committee of the "Union and 'Emancipation Society" have addressed a memorial to Earl Russell on the subject of shipbuilding, for the Confederate States. The memorialists refer to the two Pon-plated ships launched from the building yard of Messrs. Laird, and to the vessel of a similar character building on the Clyde, and they urge on the. Government a prompt investigation. into the air cunistancea connected with them. They say further that a strong conviction has taken hold of the-pub lie mind on this matter, and the prevailing feeling is that these vessels are intended for the use of the Southern Confederacy. . Referring to the two vessels built by Messrs. Laird, 1 the Constittdionnel, of- Paris, repeats the assertion of, 1 a Parisian cotemporary, that the'. ships are con. struoted for the Egyptian Government. The news by the Hibernian, that the rebel Govern ment had decided on arming half a million negroes, was received with some distrust in England- Pre suming it to be true, it was regarded by some as a confession of weakness and hopelessness on the part of the rebels, while others treat it as a masterly stroke of policy, and as " checkmating " Lincoln's emancipation scheme. The Daily Nevn says that the, news, if well founded, proves conclusively not only that the Confederate cause - is hopeless, but that its leader knows it to be so. The Morning Post thinks that, independently of the obvious importance of such a measure, in directly strengthening the hands of the. Confederate com manders, there are many other considerations which combine to render the present resolution a master piece of policy. The great experiment is not one free from difficulty, but may possibly prove conclusive to the issue of the war, both by reason of the im mense reinforcements which it may piece at the dis poeal of Lee and Beauregard, and through the ad vantageous moral impression which it will, on so many grounds, exercise on the various views and policy of Europe. The steamer Miriam had arrived at Liverpool, with Bermuda dates to the 24th of August, and nearly 1,000 bales of cotton. When she left Bermuda the blockade breakers Juno and Florida were in the harbor, having again successfully run -the blockade of a Southern port. The trade between Wilmington and Bermuda was rapidily increasing, and hardly a day elapsed without one or two arrivals from and departures for Wilmington. An immense stock of cotton wile accumulating at Bermuda, in course quence of some of- the "heavier " blockade runners preferring -that port to Nassau, the latter being deemed now rather dangeroue, owing to the Federal cruisers. The celebrated Sumpter, ailas Gibraltar, ran the blockade of Charleston on the morning of the . 2311 ult. She had on board two COO and four 400-pounders. THE ATLAETIO TELEGRAPH.

THE MEXICAN QUESTION._ The question of the Mexican throne is again' brought prominently forward—a deputation from Mexico having reached France to tender the crown to the Archduke Maximilian. The Memorial Diplo. maligns , again announces the acceptance of the- throne by the Archduke Maximilian, and adds, "Since the opening of the negotiations, the Arch duke has only stipulated' two conditions, viz: Spontaneous and unanimous appeal from the Mexi can people, and the moral and material ae.operation of the Western Powers in the establishment of a re spected and etable Govern lent." The Wile al Vienna Evening Post publishes the fol lowing-in commicumn type: "It is quite natural that the development of Mexican affairs should also he watched in Austria with lively interest atter the name of a consplouour; member of the im perial house has been brought into close connection with the question. Contradictory reports of a de- Melon having been already arrived at affords us the opportunity of declaring that we are again able to affirm the position stated by us upon the 4th ult. to be in no way changed." The French pamphlet on "France, Mexico, and the Confederate States " is still debated. Ac cording to one report, the paraphlet was written at the expense of Erlanger, the Confederate loan con tractor, and was intended to support that falling speculation. Another letter writer says : "M. Chevalier was the author, and that the pamphlet heralds in unmis takable tones the promptincrecognition So u t hern Confederacy 'byteErechPaperor.Thistime the trumpet emits no uncertain sound, but every rote rings!. out the knell of the North American Union, and the birth of a separate independent Go vernment at Richmond." Ministerial councils continued of very frequent occurrence in Paris. The Emperor, presided at one on the 7th, and another was to be held on the 9th instant. Lord Cllarention had had an audience of the Emperor. . An imperial decree appoints the Mexican General Marquez. commander of the Legion of Houor. The Pays believes itself able to state that nego tiations are 'pending with great capitalists In France and England for a Mexican loan. - The Paris Bourse. on the 7th was steady.

Anon. mos= THEATRE —A weak and foolish libretto, good music tolerably sung, an- audience well pleased and slightly, bored—this is the general effect of " The Doctor of Aloentara," as produced last night at the Arch-street Theatre.. Such a de ectlp tion, however, le applicable to so many operas— Engliah, Italian, or High Dutcha-that it would be unfair to say no more of " The Doctor." For the libretto .Mr. Benjamin E. Woolf is re sponeible, and we think he has shown extraordinary skill in writing comic dialogue without anything comic in it. The plot is a laborious trifle, yet a s fords opportunities which the author has not used. The entire scene is in the cabinet of Doctor P aiaceL sus, whose visible family is composed of Deana Lvcrezi a . his wife, Demist Isabella, his daughter, and Donna. Inez, her maid. Senor Balthazar, an old fi teed of Doctor Palace/sus, has a son Carlos, to whom Isabella is betrothed. The young lady, never having seen the youug gentleman, objects- to becoming his wife, especially as she loves a handsome young stranger. The opera begins with a serenade from the stranger, who is afterwards brought -into the house in a wicker basket, which the por ters declare to contain candies. A - -note informs Isabella of her lover's stratagem. Left alone, the occupant of the basket emerges and fills it with heavy books, and then conceals himself, expecting the porters will carry it away. Doctor Palace) sus, however, who thinks it contains candies, and Inc; who believes her own lover to be hidden in it, at tempt to hide it on a balcony overlooking the river, and accidentally plunge it therein. The screams of Inez, who explains that the basket contained a man, attract the night watch, Pamposo, who has the river dragged, and the basket recovered. In the next act the lover appears, and is mistaken for a police spy, by the Doctor and .141=, who seem to have a glimmer ing consciousness ] that they are murderers. The lover, . who is, of course, Carlos, Balthazar's PM, states his identity, and is immediately treated to a terribly strong sleeping draught, which Inez miatakes for wine. The dose puts hire to sleep, and the Doctor, supposing it death, con ceale him beneath a sofa. Balthazar then appears, and as the family are about retiring to bed, sleeps on the sofa. In the middle of the, night the Doctor and Inez stealthily enter to abstract the body. Carlos awakes; the rest rush in, Pampas°, chorus, and all ; everything la explained to the .satisfaction of everybody, and - flay - peace filling their bosoms, alternate thrilling with hope and joy, sorrow beguiling and Rope smiling, and either hope or sorrow leading the way to Joss's rosy bower, with a good deal about dull care vanished and eorrow banished ; also, a crowd of radiant glories, and a gay dower of sunshine, after which the curtain falla j upon joy's rosy bower. All of which is very much in the style of Collins" "Ode to the Passions." To the credit of Mr. Julius Etching let it be said that he has tired his libretto well. His music wants originality, and is often - very commonplace, but is always pleasant, and occasionally delightful. The overture is excellent. The opening serenade is pretty, but commonplace; the trio following has character, and Isabella's romance is beautiful and sweet, and charmingly sung by POSE! Etchings. The arietta for Rea is ordinary ; a duettino for bassos has much merit, but was not ims proved by the singers, who refused the lower notes, and took the privilege of the octave. Lu. crezia has a capital ballad, " The Knight of- Mean tara." The buffo music throughout is admirable, and of the finale of Act Ist Mr. Melberg may be proud. It is a fault of the composer that, although hie motives are various, the treatment is monoto nous. His genius is certainly true, and should not be measured by this opera; with a really good subject he could doubtless produce music far more valuable. Mr. Woolf's libretto is neither funny nor serious—the situations have no fun, and the incidents are suited to please children, and die guet adults. Nor mutt the merit of this work be measured by this tolerable perfermance. But Miss Richings is truly an artist, and her voice, we think was never better, her singing. never so charming, nor her acting - so intelligent. She knows how 'to make musical and drama tic effects, and is undoubtedly the 'first singer our English opera possesses. The other artists are clever, and by no means deserve harsh criticism; but those who have voice want method, and those who have - method want voice. Mr. Dodivort4 we cannot compliment; his baton exercised nO autho rity over the singers, and the music geneOly "played itself." We know that this was- a rat performance, and qualify our censure. The Arch street Theatre has now one of the h*nd somest of interiors. The summer was well epeat in rebuilding it. From every- seat the stage is fully seen, and in our admiration of the general beauty and comfort, we wonder how the old inconvenience could have been so long endured. j WALNIIT.STREET - THEATRE.—The first night of the brief season- for which Miss Lucille Western has been engaged, was devoted to the perforraince of Buckstone's drama of "The Green Bushes; or, A JHundred Years Ago"—according to the Day bille—or, " The Huntress of the Mississippi." rids play is not very- frequently performed now,jbut theatregoers are not unfamiliar with it. Miami, the lettnire,ss Of the Missinippi, and Madame St. Aubert, tris the same individual under different names. These parts were last night essayed by Mist Westera. The audience was much larger and more attentive than we supposed it would be, and the reception accorded to the -star of the evening was flattering. We have not much- to say of Mis* Lucille Weetern better than what-.we said last' season. We.re. member that our remarks then were not alto ether congratulatory. Setting aside the fact that in-pers Ronal appearance as the Indian girl she by no means equals what Miami should have been, we feel that atenvso•complitirrof the lank of that ire And intensity of passion which should characterize the impersonation. Almost every word and gesture bore the impress of having been learned by heart, 4.. ken And - described by mere memory. With all the va. luptuousness of look and attitude, a coldneis marks -the performance, art becomes prominent, and nature melts away. In the moat passionate and beautiful scenes this fault is apparent. It is absurd to rank. Miss Western among first-class artistes. She deserves - infinite credit for the industry with which she has worked her way up, and pushed herself forward. All that we have said of her—as, indeed, in all we have said of any artist-a-is to do her simple justice. It would be the grommet -injustice to aver that Mies Western is an artiet better than many first or oven second-class stock actresses whom we could mention: To possemaalfigure as well.proportioned as it is well developed,. a voice stronger than it is sweet, handsome curly hair, and a very considerable amount 'of self-confidence, is not to possess tough-to entitle her to aspire to the pa ion. she would seem to claim. Since the time, some twelve _years ego, when she herself walked through the part of the child Eveleen,in this same play, she has had ample opportunities of Improving herself, and these opportunities she has improved. That she does not stand in the first rank is neither her misfortune nor her fault. She cannot help:it, and should , be satisfied to occupy the very respectable position of a - stock performer—or else confine her staedelineations to leas critical and less intelligent audiences, As Madame St. Aubert, Miss Western looked brilliant and handsome. . At the close of the play she. was .called before the cur tain, and acknowledged the compliment in a very charming manner. • Mr.. Charles Barron did Well enough as comer . _ O' Kennedy ; Mr. B.

There was great excitement is gold this morning, the news from Rosserans wonderfully accelerating the value of the article. which Ppened at 138 X, an advance, of 4 per cent. on Saturday's closing figure, after which it rose to 1410-.1 . , declined to 119, rose to 140, when the mar ket was broken by the operations of an extensive " short " seller, who In New York sold a million and a half " short. " This checked the market, which looked vety strong, but did not effectually depress it, as it soon rallied to 139Y201394, and closed tendency upward MIN @l4O. Of course the direct cause of this advance is the news of disaster to our army in- Tennessee, which plainly shows how completely gold is a mere commodity, like sugar or Pa, only being worth so much more per pound. Not the wants of the mercantile) community affected it, nor the legitimate class of buyers who desire to have something tangible saved from the nation's wreck, but simply a combination of operators who purposely buy in the morning one hundred thousand dollars at a large advance, in order to sell in the afternoon about a million and a half when the advance figures have been main tained, and even a higher price reached. Why should gedd be worth any more this afternoon than -it was on 'Saturday? If the demand came from the merchants or the mass Of the peOple there would be at least reason in the advance. But with no more than toe usual amount in demand by those persons, gold is worth five per cent, more, simply because .one shrewd operator succeeds In playing upon others somewhat less shrewd. It is a mere matter of business, requiring- boldness and nerve, in which the few are benefited, and the majority become losers. • Money is again in active demand, and lenders are not so yielding in their tone. If the gold speculation in creases large amounts will be required to carry it. which are now seeping the stock exchange and temporary loan reteptacles, hence higher Yates may rule.

CITE' Jur 3E WIC S OPENING OF THE FEMALE MEDICAL COL r,aon.—From an advertisement in another column it will be seen that the Fourteenth Annual Session of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania will commence on the 14th of October, and continue five months. From a pamphlet containing the Valedictory Ad dress to the Graduating Claes of this growing and deservedly-popular institution, delivered by Dirs. E. H.

PURE OLD BRANDY AND PORT WINE FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES.—The successors of the late C. H.

This remark was uttered about twelve years ago. If written at the present day, Beecher would have added a sewing machine, also. With a neat wife, a nice baby, a grandmother, and a family Bible, the possession of a Grover & Baker sewing machine ought to render every home a paradise. Heads of families lacking the lastnamed requisite will do Well to consider the imortance of having it included in the above list of treasures. In Grover & Beker'r machine we cannot do otherwise than believe the point of mechanical perfection has been attained. The firm produce the lock or shuttle.stitch machine, and also the double lock stitch. The latter is a ape. Malty, called the Grocer & Baker stitch. It is a wonderfully substantial mode of sewing. The stitch is formed by carrying the upper thread through the fabric by means of a vertical eye•pointed needle, where a loop is thrown out as the needleriees, which loop is entered by a circular needle, carrying the un der thread, and this under thread, in its turn, throws out a loop, which is caught by the vertical needle, as it comes down again. This series of interlooping continues until the seam is formed, which gives great strength and elasticity. The machinery Is a marvel of simplicity and ingenuity, requiring no mechanical skill to manage. Nor does it require other adjust. went than a mere change of thread and needles, to adapt it to the character of the work to be sewed— coarse or line, as the case may be. One of the lightest family machines will sew gauze, laces, and all the varieties and kinds of fabrics, be tween and including beaver cloth, without changing either needle, thread, or tensions ; will sew each Equally well, < and . return to either variety of work with perfect satisfaction. The lock stitch is made and seams are formed by a thread from the . upper side being carried through the fabric by a needle, which, in returning, throws out a loop thrOugh which another thread from the bobbin is carried., The results and stitch are identically the same, whether a reciprocating shuttle or a bobbin and rotating honk are employed. The prices of the machine are from forty-five dol lars upwards. Let every one study their in terest, and secure one of these machines. The amount they save in death's' bills and eye-water must be enormous.—North American and United States FREEMEN RALLY 1 RALLY !I. RALLY ! ! Grand main, . meeting to-morrow afternoon.

THE BATTLE IN GEORGIA. ROSECRANS RE-ATTACKED ON SUNDAY. THE FIGHT RAGING FIERCELY TWO DIVISIONS IN PANIC, OUR ACHY DRIVING BACK • THE REBELS.. S/IPTR:NRER 21, 1833 THE LOSSES NEARLY WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—The National Republican says: "The enemy attacked Gencralßosecrans again on Sunday morn ing at 9 o'clock, with everwhelming num bers. The battle raged fiercely all day, ac cording to the latest accounts received here up to 2 o'clock this afternoon, leaving Chat tanooga at 8 o'clock last evening. "Two, and only two, of Rosecrans' divi sions gave way in utter panic and confusion; but from 8,000 to 10,000 of them had been rallied and got back to their places, while the remainder of the army had not given way or retreated, and at the last moment was driving the advance of the rebel array back. " This is known to be the latest news re ceived here. The number of killed and wounded on both sides will probably not fall short of 30,000.

M.— Not a word has been •received frorn.General P.osecrans' army to-day. The reports which are prevalent here that the rebelS in considerable numbers were coming into Eastern Kentucky, through Pound Gap, are not true. Rumors, which it is impossible to authenti cate, now prevail that a large part of Gene ral Grant's army is moving rapidly forward to the aid of Rosecrans, and that the engage ment between Rosecrans and Brimg is still progressing, &c. It is not believed in military circles here, that any very seriously disastrous re sults have occurred to Rosecrans' army. Capture of the Rebel Gen. Adanis and 1,300. Men. A FIGHT WITHOUT PAH4LLEI, IN THE HISTORY OF THA ARMY. PARTICULARS OF..SUNDAY , S FIGH r CHATTANOOGA; Sept. 21.—The battle on the 19th resulted well for us, we having held our ground as established on our left, and' concentrated, our forces during the day. On Sunday morning we held a handsome line of battle, with our right on a ridge of hills; and our left protected by rude works of logs thrown up during the night. r Our left rested on the east side of Ross ville and Lafayette, about four miles south of Rossville. In the fight of the 18th, we had lost about 000 killed and 2,000 wounded, were ahead three pieces of artillery, and the men were in splendid spirits. The engagement was resumed at 9 o'clock on the morning of the 20th by an attempt of the rebels to storm General Thomas' left and front. They were severely repulsed several times, with heavy loss to them and very little to us. This fight lasted an hour and a half, and was the most terrific of the war, a continuous fire of musketry and ar tillery being kept up with deadly effect. During this fight our right and centre were not engaged, our skirmishers keeping up a halting fire. The enemy, finding:their assaults in vain, manoeuvred to the left with the intention of throwing- a force on the Rossville road, and attacking Thomas on the left flank. At this juncture General _Thomas ordered General Brannan, who had one brigade in reserve, and two with Reynolds, holding the' key of the position (which. was Thomas' right), to move to The left of the line, to pro tect the flank of General Rosecrans, and at the same time sent Davis and Van Cleve from the right and centre to support Bran nan in the effort to hold the line to Ross vile, and protect Thomas' left. • On seeing the withdrawal of the skir mishers in front of the division, which was moving from the right and centre, the enemy made a vigorous assault on that part of the line, piercing the centre, cutting off Davis and Sheridan from the left, and driving the centre into the mountains ; both the right and centre being much scattered, without any very serious loss in killed and wounded. The right, and centre being gone,• General Thomas' •right became exposed to a most terrific flank attack ; and Reynolds and Brannan and the right of Thomas' . line was coming around—his extreme left being as at first. This also fell back a short distance on the Rossville road. • Parts of the centre were gathered up and reported to Thomas, who made several stands, but was unable to check the rebel advance until the arrival of reinforcements, at 1 o'clock. General Granger, with one division of re serves, came up, and was at once thrown into the centre, driving the enemy hand somely from their position on a strong ridge, with heavy loss. The fire from one of Granger's batteries mowed them down like grass. This fight lasted about half an hour, with slight loss to us. Capt. Russell, Gen. Gran ger's adjutant, was killed before lie had been ten minutes in the fight After this bloody repulse the enemy re mained quiet until 4 o'clock, persisting, however,in inanceuvrig on both our flanks. Their full and correct information regarding this section of the country enabled them to do so with great facility. Raving again obtained a position on our ilank, the enemy made a vigorous attack, and a fight ensued which has no parallel in the history of this army. Colonel Harker's brigade and General Wood's division distimguished themselves in the fight. General Wood, Colonel Harker, and General Garfield were . present, and with the remnant or General Johnson's division, FIVE O'CLOCK A. M THROUGH THE DAY BUT RALLIED AGAIN. 30,000! 1.,A!r_V.1E?.... LATI♦;ST. THE REBELS REPULSED ! held the left, and covered themselves with glory. On the right and centre, Generals Bran nan, Baird, Reynolds, and Palmer, with parts of their divisions, fought most gallantly, while Generals Stedman and Granger held the reserve, and drove the enemy at every point where they fought. At 5 o'clock General Thomas was tri umphant, and on the left held his line of the morning. But his right of the enemy was nearly back to his line, and almost at angles with that of the morning. Two lines of retreat were open to Gene ral Thomas to Chattanooga, by one of which he fell back to Rossville during the night. Our loss have necessarily been heavy, but the list of killed will be surprisingly light. In the charge made by General Thomas, on the first day, the enemy lost as many killed as we did in the whole day. What our losses in prisoners and material are, cannot now be reported. Our killed will reach 1,200, and our wounded will amount to 7,000, most from slight wounds. Among the General officers killed are General Lytle, Colonel Key and Colonel King, com manding brigades. Colonel Bartleton, 10 Illinois. Among the wounded are Gen. Morton, of Gen. Ilosecrans' staff; Col. Craxteri of the 4th Kentucky ; Col. Frank House, 98th Il linois; Lieut. Col. Mudge, 11th Michigan; Lieutenant Colonel Hunt, 4th Kentucky; Colonel Bradley, commanding a brigade in Sheridan's division ; Colonel Charles Anderson. 6th Ohio; Major Wildman„lBth. Kentucky ; Colonel Tripp, 6th Indiana ; Lieutenant Colonel Bryan, 15th Indiana; Colonel Armstrong, 9fid Ohio; Major John ston, 22d Illinois; Lieutenant Colonel Max well, 2d Ohio; Lieutenant Colonel Vaughan, 7th Kentucky; Colonel Stanley, 18th Ohio; and Major Dawson, 19th Infantry—all slightly wounded. General John U. King is reported-wound ed and a prisoner. We have captured Gen.. Adams, of Texas, and 1,300 of his men. ARRIVALS AT THE HOTELS, UP TO TWELVE- O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT.
