The Eighteenth Ward 'Union Association now arrived in procession, and were received with shouts of welcome. Colonel William B. Mann, the patribtic district attorney, was loudly and enthusiastically called for. In response thereto he delivered a forcible, eloquent, and patriotic speech, during which he was frequently applauded. He was glad to know by the presence 01 so large a number of people, that the fire of pa triotic ardor was burning brishtly in the Nineteenth ward. [Great cheering.] That the residents here were in solid phalanx, ready to- battle with the common enemy with Union ballots, as their friends are doing with Union bullets on despe rately-contested fields.

Now, I have alweys acted consistently with the Democratic party, conse guently I have always been opposed" to Abolition. Tbeve two facts follow each other just as certainly a s day follows night. The Democrats of the North, taking their cue from the leaders of the South, always wavered against Abolitionism. A part of our programme was to keep the party united, so that we could carry enough States North and South to make sure of the President.

Now, although I have always be tented that slavery was. a sin and a curse, yet I con tented myself with the comforting assurance that we had no slavery in Pennsylvania; that, co alt finteats and purposes, 1 lived in a free toiletry.

I re spected the guarantees which from time to lisle had been given to the people of the South. Just before Secession was &elated to be a fact did u it Alexander H.

There could be no reply. It is false then, to say that this war was - brought about by the Abolitionists of the North. Who Bred at the flag, the Abolitionists or the dontheru fire eaters?

Happy it is for our country that in every town and hamlet I found the people fully aroused to a oonaeioueness of the momentous Issues to be solved at the ballot-box.

COUNT MONTALEMBBRT ON LinallTY OP CON kalllNOE.—The Paris correspondent of the Times Writes, Aug. 31: "I return to the subject of the Ro man Catholic Congress at Malines, in order to make one more extract from Count Idontalembert'a very remarkable speech, 'spoken, on account of its length, and of the orator's fatigue, in two portions on two Mico4esive days. The first portion had for its text, ' A Free Church in a Free State ; the second treats more particularly of liberty of conscience, and is the more important of the two. The applause which some of its most liberal and tolerant passages re ceived from an audience said to have numbered about 4,000 Romanists, must be admitted to haire been a triumph for the eloquent speaker. Of this the follow ing may be taken as a striking example: " Without mental reservation and without hesitation I declare myself, in the interest of Catholicism itself, an up holder of liberty of conscience. I frankly accept all its consequences, all those which public morality does not reprobate and which equity commands. This leads me to a delicate but essential question. I will attack it directly, because in all discussions of this nature I have always recognized the neces sity of anticipating an uneasiness which is too na tural and often very sincere in the adversaries of the liberty of Catholics. Can one at the present day demand liberty for truth—that is to say, for one's self (mince every one, if he be sincere, believes himself a fol• lower of the truth), and refuse it to error--that is to say, to those who do not think as we dot I dia. tinotly reply, 'No.' Here, I well know, incedo per dynes, and I hasten once more to aeclare that I have Jae pretension beyond that of expressing an LAI.- yiduel opinion ; I bow before all the texts, all the ,canons that may be cited to me, and not one of them will I contest or discuss. But I cannot, to-day, re press the conviction which feigns in my conscience, and in my heart. I cannot retrain from expressing It, after having read during the last twelve years the attempts to rehabilitate men and things which nobody in my youth, nobody among the Catholics, dreamt of defending. I declare, then, that I feel an invincible horror for all tortures and violence in flicted upon humanity under the pretext of serving or defending religion, The faggots lighted by a Ca tholic hand Inspire me with as much horror as the scaffolds on which the Proteetents immolated so many martyrs. [Sensation, and applause.] The gag forced into the mouth of whomsoever lifts up his voice with a pure heart to preach the faith—that ,gag I feel between mrefivn lips, and I shudder with pain." [Sensation.] 'THE WINTER CAMPAIGN IN POLAND.—The Po. liar insurgents are now busy forming " a winter army," which will be divided into two corps, and hold two pOSitiOns till the spring, when hostilities are likely to be renewed and carried on with more violence than ever.

E4t rtss. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1863. THE NEWS. Tarmonaars from the Army of the Cumberland, published to-clay, claim that the fight on Monday, between Gen. Thomas' corps and the attack on Monday, was a complete victory for the national forces. The rebels were thoroughly repulsed, and General Thomas rejoins the main army. A. des patch from Fortress Monroe contains the sub stance of the rebel reports. The enemy, admits a loss of five thousand, including live brigadier gene rals killed, and a number wounded. The Richmond Whig is despondent about the result of the battle. GENERAL GRANAM, one - of our officers captured at Gettysburg, brings a report from Richmond that two of Longstreet"s divisions, with all his artillery, and two of Pickett's brigades, and Wise's legion, were sent 4o Bragg from Richmond. "Various de. spatches mention that General Rosecrans has been reinforced from Grant's army, and by General Burn side, but these reports are not definite. We have a despatch from Washington, stating that the battle was renewed on Tuesday, and there was much anxiety to know whether General Roseorans had been reinforced. It is stated that if the repeated orders of the Government had been promptly obeyed, he would have been reinforced several days ago. GEN. BLUNT has issued an address to the people of Western Arkansas, assuring them the national occupation will be permanent, and speaks of the loyalty; they bane shown. A cowernicaAßLE portion of the Army of the Po tomac is now upon the south side of the Rapidsti. REBEL reports from Charleston to the 22d, state that the activity of General Gilmore is unabated.

The case WAS opened by Mr. George M. Wharton, whose argument inifavor of the motion IS elsewhere reported. The United States :was not represented. The opinion of the court will probably be given at an early day. Tnu report of the intended recognition of the South by France has received trustworthy denial. Tux European news to the 13th inst. is important. Earl Russell has assured Minister Adams that the rebel rams should be detained till it is legally deter. mined if their builders have violated the Foreign Enlistment act. The pirate Florida has been seized in a French port, on a claim for damages, made by the part owners of the cargo of a vessel it had cap• tured. It is rumored that Lower California is to be ceded to France. The arrangements are made for the laying of the Atlantic telegraph cable next sum mer. THB Constitutional Government of Mexico has addressed an indignant note to friendly Powers against the monarchy set up by the Emperor Napo leon in the city of Mexico. It declares that the spirit of the Mexican nation will become more and more determined against its oppressor, and that the French have only conquered a mere fraction of the Mexican territory. The atdress describes the dis honest manner in which the new despotism was created, and characterizes its authors and agents as the men who have violated, in the most, flagrant manner, the laws of nations, in contriving pretexts for the war, in setting forth with falsehood its ends, and in robbing and outraging the people. The note is signed by the Minister of State, Antonio (le la Puente, and calla upon foreign Powers to discredit the assumed regency or monarchy. A protest from the National Congress accompanies the note. Tux great Union meetings at West Chester and Titusville, give additional proof of the loyalty, of Pennsylvanians, and the eloquent speech of Gover nor Curtin deserves the fullest consideration. A large and enthusiastic meeting was held in the Nineteenth ward last evening. The Battle in Georgia. The > Army of the Cumberland has been repulsed, but the enemy have won no vic tory. The distinction is important Gen. ROSECEAITS failed in his attempt, but Gen. REIWG'S purpose is also unfulfilled. That brilliant strategy which, without battle, re covered East Tennessee, had an ulterior object—nothing less than the subjugation of the Gulf States. Thus, the moment that Chattanooga was obtained, Gen. RosE cnArTs marched into Georgia, forcing the enemy into immediate'opposition, precisely as the Army of the Potomac:was compelled to give battle when Pennsylvania was invaded by LEE. had the enemy refused battle, Georgia and Alabama would have been ours, and the rebellion actually imprisoped in Vir ginia and South Carolina. BRAGG, there fore, had no choice but between instant bat tle or immediate ruin. He gave battle, and the fate of the whole Confedehicy depended on the issue ; for, had ROSECRANS triumph antly succeeded, where would the rebellion have been driven? Such a blow would have been mortal to the infamous conspiracy; it could not have survived three months. But the blow has been parried--RosE crtAlis repulsed. A great army, strength ened by reinforcements from every source, confronted him; all the available power of the South was concentrated for the defence of Georgia. The greatness of the danger demanded greatness in the defender, and those able men who control the armies of the rebellion exhausted their energies in making this tremendous fight. Every 'regiment that could be wrung from the peo ple by conscription, or formed by volunteer ing, or spared from the battle-worn troops of- BEAUREGARD and LEE, was sent to BRAGG. At Chattanooga the rebellion fought for self-preservation, and the rulers at Richmond may well be proud of their own energy, and thankful to the fierce courage of their armies, that Georgia and Alabama are not wrested from them, that the end is again postponed. It is only postponed. BRAGG'S second ob ject, the utter defeat of Gen. BOSECRANS by numerical superiority, with the recovery of East Tennessee, and the restoration of the old situation, is not attained, nor likely to be. His own despatch confesses that ROSE CRAM still confronts him. Invasion he prevented, but the invader is only baffled. Gen. BOSECRANS' purpose is defeated, but his army is not. The tremendous attacks upon Gen. TnomAs, who bore the brunt of the two-days battle, failed to shake the coinage of OUT troops, or to regain one inch of thd r territory we have 'yon. BOSECWS, still confronting BRAGG, still fighting him, inflicting terrible injury on his army in every savage fight, slowly falls back and concentrates on Chattanooga. We do not believe he will be driven thence, and un til be is driven, Georgia is still threatened, And the rebellion has simply succeeded in baffling his flit attack. Thus, while we deeply regret the failure of this grand at tempt, we know that the failure is - not half so important to us, as their success is to the rebels. Our stake was little compared to theirs. The very life of the Confederacy was risked in this battle, but we have lost nothing but time. There is no reason for loyal hearts to be discouraged ; so much has been won in the West, that a repulse;can be cheerfully and hopefully sus tained. The campaign is not abandoned, and the Army of the Cumberland is ready and able to maintain its position in East Tennessee. But it will have to be heavily reinforced before it can again attempt the conquest of the remaining Gulf States. As we drive the enemy towards his centre, we enable him to unite and concentrate his armies, and this fact explains how Roan CRAM was outnumbered. Concentration gives to the rebellion temporary advantage, but the vast superiority of the North cannot be long resisted. General BOSECRANS has sustained the heaviest blow the South could deal, and in this proof of the national strength less exultation will be felt by the rebels :than disappointment If this is all they can do against BOSECRAITS, how will they meet BORECRANS and BURNSIDE and GRANT in the combined advance, which is inevitable ? It is not strange that the Rich mond Whig should be despondent. In this great battle the rebellion has tried its full strength, and may well be disappointed by the result. Important Foreign News. The European news, to the lath of this month, yesterday received by the steamer China, is of great importance. Earl itus sELL, after having curtly informed the Emancipation Society that the steam rams in the - Mersey and the Clyde could not be detained by the British Government, unless affidavits were made, by a creditable witnes ses, of the certainty of their having been built for and intended to be used by the rebels agllnst American commerce, has quietly eaten his words, by ordering these vessels to be stopped. A court of law will probably determine whether their builders have violated the enactments of the Foreign Enlistment Act. We can predict, already, that if Chief Baron POLLOCK preside at that trial, that the verdict will probably be in favor. of LAIRD and his co-violators of the law. In one French port, the pirate Florida has been seized by the part owners of the cargo of a vessel which it took and plundered, on a claim of $20,000 for damages thereby sus tained. Mr. SLIDELL had proceeded to Marseilles to try and settle the affair, but it was doubted, by the writer of a letter from Paris, whether the claim could be legally sustained. This doubt possibly arose from the fact that in another French port, where, in an insurance case, the point was whether the Ala bama was a pirate, the tribunal decided her to be only a " belligerent," and that she bad not committed piracy. There were con tinued reports that MA - x[I,IIIJAN had ac cepted the crown of Mexico ; this, at least, is premature, for it has not yet been for mally tendered to him. It is further stated, as an on dit, that Lower California is to be ceded to France—whether with or without Sonora is not mentioned. In all respects, except having a direct Pacific seaboard, it is not so desirable as Scnora. Both would be a handsome accession to France, and the possession of either would saddle us with a very undesirable neighbor. Mexican Finance. It is stated, in the Paris evening journal, Le Pays, of the 7th of September, that "negotiations are pending with great capi talists in France and England for a Mexi can loan. A portion of the loan is to be applied to reitnbursing France the expenses of the 'Mexican expedition, and to paying the debts due to different foreign Powers. The rorn4iilder will be devoted to the re quirements of the internal organization of Mexico, and to increase undertakings which will prove sources of prosperity." We learn, from a London paper of the same date, that the amount sought to be bor rowed, on account of Mexico, is $100,000,- 000, of which probably $75,000,000 would be paid up—if so much—in consequence of European distrust in Mexican resources and honesty. Considering that the Mexican debt in England, France, and Spain far ex ceeds the whole nominal amount now sought to be obtained from European credulity, we doubt what Le Pays says about, the desti nation of the loan. Were the hundred mil lion of dollars sought to be borrowed paid in full, it would not go near defraying what France has expended on its expedition to and in Mexico since October, 1861. The military theory, immortalized in song, of spending half a crown out of sixpence a day, alone could make Mexico settle with her European creditors, pay NAPOLEON'S de mands, and have a large sum in hand for domestic expenditure—all out of one hun dred millions. Civic Economy. A short time since, seized with a sudden attack of economy, the City Councils agreed that it would be prudent to discontinue keeping deer in Logan Square, and to-re duce the number of squirrels in the other Squares. Some of the deer were sold by auction, but " it did not pay," for the prices obtained, even not deducting the expenses of the sale, were below the price of ordinary mutton. On this, the Councils resolved, in their generosity, to present New York and Boston with some of the superfluous deer and squirrels. We learn, from a New York paper, that the share which was conveyed to the Central Park, in Gotham, consisted of eight deer and twenty gray squirrels. The record further states : " They were brought on here by CHARLES McDorromm, Esq., Commissioner of City Property, and a depu tation of ten members of the Common Coun cil, with WiLsoic IT - PER, Esq., president of that body. On Saturday last the live stock was given into the hands of the ,Commis sioner of the Park, by whom the deer were turned into the enclosure, and the squirrels were let loose at the lower end of the Park. The deputation then proceeded to.,Boston, with a similar present for the authorities of that city. They will return to New York to.day (Tuesday), when proper courtesies will be paid to them by the city authorities." 'ls it treasonable to ask whether there was any, even the slightest, 'necessity, for send ing the City Commissioner, With a deputation of eleven of the Council, to convey a few deer and squirrels from Philadelphia to New York and Boston ? Would not two or three of the persons employed in, taking care of the Squares have done this quite as well? We venture to say that of the depu tation of twelve, who thus made what is called "an out of it" to New York and Boston, not one of them looked, en route, after the animals they were nominally in charge of. It is estimated that, including railroad fares, board at hotels, " smiles," extra expenses to invited guests whom they invited, and so on, this little trip will cost the city—that is, cost the tax-payers— not less than a thousand dollars. Herein we get a glimpse at the remarkable, reality of civic economy.. The City Fathers run into an expense of a thousand dollars merely to get rid of a few deer and squirrels ! It would have been less troublesome, and not at all costly, to have given the animals to persons at home who have grounds on which they would undertake to keep them. When ever this account comes before the Mayor, he is bound to veto it as a needless waste of public money. Let Mr. CIIARLES McDo, NOIIGII, Commissioner of City ..Property, and his eleven companions from City Coun ells,-pay the bill out of their own pockets, and eschew all such extravagance in fu ture. WEST °RESTER will long remember the 23d of September, and the argument and eloquence of Governor CunTrN, Senators HALE and CLARKE, and the other speakers must haye had results of great value to the 'Union cause. To-morrow we shall publish a further report of the meeting. ATLANTIO MONTHLY.-We have the October .number from T. R Pugh, Chestnut street. We have already noticed its contents.

BATTLE.. A "COMPLETE - NATIONAL VICTORY ON IVIONT)A.Y. Skirmishing on Tuesday. Heavy Loss Of the Rebels, LARGE NUMBER OF REBEL GENERALS KILLED AND Despondency In NO FIGHTING ON WEDNESDAY DESPATCHES FROM GEN. ROSECRANS. WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.--Despatches from Gene., rat Rosecrans, dated Chattanooga, at three and five o'clock, yesterday afternoon, were received by the Government this morning, from which it appears that the enemy's attack upon General Thomas' corps (Rosecrans' left), on Monday afternoon, was handsomely repulsed, and General Thomas marched quietly to the position his forces were about to take when they were assaulted. The official despatches of Monday evening stated that two divisions , of Longstreet's corps were ad vancing upon Rosecrans at four o'clock on that afternoon; but it turned out that the movement was merely for the purpose of a reconnoissance, as no at tack was made. General Rosecrans , order for his entire command to concentrate was accomplished before midnight of that day, and it is now in a strong defensive position which can be easily held untilreinforcements arrive. This movement of the troops was executed in ex cellent order, and although they had been worked bard for several days and nights, they were in fine spirits. Four thousand of our wounded were removed from the field after the battle of Sunday. General Lytle was the only general officer killed on our side, while Bragg acknowledges the loss of the enemy in officers to be very heavy.' The The regulars of our reserves went into the battle 1,600 strong, and came out with only 416. This shows the persistency with which our troops con tested every inch of ground. Gen. Roseerans has performed wonders in reach ing his present position, after fighting with his sin gle command against the immense force of picked troops combined against him. In two or three days he will be able to assume offensive operations. When the last despatch of yesterday closed the enemy was quite active. He had been making ap proaches all the morning. Gen. Emmaus' men were in line and ready for another encounter. General Graham, who commanded one of our brigades at Gettysburg, and was taken prisoner and conveyed to Richmond, has recently been exchang. ed, and reached here this morning: He is satisfied that only two divisions, with all their artillery, have been sent to Bragg. In addition to that, two brigades, under Gen. Picketts, and Wise's legion, were also detailed to reinforce Bragg. General Graham says he saw eighty-one pieces of artillery moving across the bridge from Richmond, and said to be going to Bragg. The news of the battles fought between Bragg and Rosecrans was a disappointment to the rebel au thorities at Richmond. They expected to hear that Rosecrans had been annihilated, and that Bragg had retaken East Tennessee. - Instead of that, Richmond is again thrown into a state of mourning by the hmivy loss Rosecrans has . inflicted upon Bragg. [Special Despatch to the Balletin..] Crlroirr/rATI, Sept. 23.—Special despatches from Chattanooga to-day fail to get through. Though the news is fat front encouraging, people here have confidence that Rosecrans will maintain himself till reinforcements readh him, and that he will then turn the tables on Johnston. General Lytle is not killed, as reported, but was wounded, and is in the hands of the enemy. REPORTS FROM CHATTANOOGA.. WAIIINGTON 3 Sept. 22 -Z-[Special to the Tribune.] —A despatch from General Rosecrans, dated Chat tanooga, Sept. 21, at 6 F. IC, says that at that hour General Thomas , corps was still intact on the left, and he was successfully fighting his way back. There is no apprehension here that Rosecrans will be obliged to evacuate' Chattanooga, where his forces, except General Thomas' Corps, were con eentrated. That corps has, ere this, reached its position. The latest advices rrom Chattanooga received by the Government represent General Thomas as having re-established communisations with General Rosecrans, whose whole army was resting on a new line, a few miles in front of Chattanooga. It le confidently anticipated that he will be able to hold this position, and will soon be made strong enough by the arrival of heavy reinforcements to attack. Indeed, General Granger is reported to have said that, had not General Thomas been ordered to fall back, he could, without assistance, have whipped the enemy. The result of the fighting so far is that the rebels have taken 2,000 prisoners and 20 guns, while we have captured 1,300 prisoners and 10 guns. The nn• official estimate of the rebel forces at 140,000 is re garded in Government circles as greatly exagge rated. If, however, as is thought not unlikely, they were nearly 100,000, they, largely outnumbered Rose cram, troops actuallungaged. On the whole, those Who should know all that is to be known concern• ing the situation are confident of the final result. They say that the victory would, have been over whelming bad Gen. Burnside been more swift to re inforce the Army of the Cumberland. Fowl' MONIMB, Sept. 23.—The Richmond Dia. patch, of the 22c1 instant contains the following: ~C niere.atAtraA, Ga., Sept. 20.—A.fter two days 9 hard fighting we have driven the enemy, after a des perate resistance, from several positions, but he still confronts us.

Lourevira,z, Sept. 23.—The Journal ban received information, which it credits, that on Monday night the right and left wings of nosecrans' grand army rested on the battle-field of Saturday and Sunday, and reinforcements—the number of which is ILot stated—from General Grant's army were .to have reached him via Decathr yesterday. Rosecrans' headquarters were four miles from the battle-field, in the rear of the centre. Bosecrans was in good spirits, and hopeful of a complete and decisive victory over Johnston, Bragg, and Longatreet. It is reported that General A. P.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23—EveDing.—Acaording to official information received from the Army of the Cumberland, dated last night, the battle was re- newed to-day. Much anxiety is naturally express ed in relation to the arrival of reinforcements. If the repeated orders of the Government had been obeyed there would now be no solicitude upon that point. It is known here that Rosecrans has abund ant stores and supplies for many days to come. As sistance is on its way, and may reach him in time to be of immense service.

General Grant will strike a blow for the relief of Botswana. General Meade it said to be stirring this morning with an eye to a forward movement, and General Burnside will soon be heard from in conjunction with General Rosecrans. Private despatches were received from General Rosecrans today of a more cheering character than the newspaper advises of last evening. There is now little doubt of his ability to hold Chattanooga till reinforcements can reach him.

LOUISVILLE, Sept 23,—A despatch was received here about noon, from Quartermaster :General Meigs, a passenger on the morning train from Louis ville to Nashville, announcing the burning of the railroad bridge at Nolin, By., by the rebels. The down train went back to Elizabethtown, and was detained there some four hours. Meanwhile, a special train, with Adams & Co.'s Express, coming north, put out the fire, which en abled the upward train to arrive nearly on their regular time. The damage to the bridge was very slight. The number of guerillas causing this disturbance is esti mated at from four to fourteen. THE LATEST FllO3l NASUVILLE. NO FIGHTING ON 'WEDNESDAY. nosimmix, Sept 23.—The news from the. front to• day is meagre. No trains have arrived from the South to-night. It is reported that they are being detained to bring up the wounded. A telegram from the front reports that there was no fighting to• day. Our forces still hold the position of yesterday, which is an evidence of strength, as every houfincreases the chances for reinforcements from Burnside to arrive, and enables our forces to more thoroughly entrench themselves. No definite assurance of the arrival of reinforce ments has yet been received. Brigadier General John H. King, who. was report ed wounded and a prisoner, is neither. A telegram from the front reports him all safe. Major Coolidge, second in command of the same brigade, was certainly killed. Five hundred guerillas, under Tom Murray, are hovering about Carthage, threatening to attack that place. A small fbrce of guerillas, under Hawkins, are reported to be lurking about this vicinity, having their headquarters at Williamsport, west of Frank lin, on the Duck river. STRENGTH OF THE ENEMY [From the Washington Chronicle. ] The strength of the enemy's forces is not far from one hundred thousand—nearly twice the number of our own. Generals Joe Johnston and Bragg were in command, with Polk on the right and A. P. Hill on the left. All the available men from the different armies of the Confederacy assisted in this contest, Longstreetls corps, under Gens. Jackson and Ely, ar riving after the commencement of the battle. At the battle of Stone river the following were the division commanders on the rebel side: Breckinridge, Chea tham, Cleburne, Anderson, and Stewart. This time their divisions are commanded by Breckinridge, Hindman, Ely, Jackson, Anderson, Buckner, Slaughter, Cleburne, Stewart, and Cheatham, with the addition of four brigades of cavalry, under Gens. Forrest, Wharton, Wheeler, and Maury. The pri soners say that the troops had been arriving from all quarters for several weeks, and, that several thou sand of Pemberton's men were in the battle.

Blunt continued in very poor health, and intended to leave for Fort Scott noon. All was quiet at Fort Smith and vicinity, the only disturbance being caused by a few bushwhackers. Our cavalry were continually reconnoitring, and keeping the guerillas at a respectful distance. The rebels were falling back to Shreveport, La. ,At Forth Smith the enlistment of negroes is very brisk. General Blunt has issued an address to the people of Western Arkansas, in which he assures them that the Federal occupation will be permanent, the whole Indian territory of West Arkansas being under his coarol, and all the rebel troops being driven beyond the Red river, followed by the most anxious of the rebel citizens. -He feels assured of the love and attachment for the Union now evinced in Western Arkansas by the joy manifested at the appearance of his troops. The reports of delegations who have visited him from the interior of Southern Arkansas, and the arrival of hundreds of refugees to enlist in the army, gives further assurance of the fact. He feelingly alludes to the persecution of the Union men, and closes his address as follows : Many applications have been made by citizens for aaieguards. None will be issued. The best safe guards you can have is the American flag unfurled over your enemies and to deport yourselves as be come good and loyal citizens. Your conduct must be your safeguard.

Tan, SEWING MACHINE PROGRESSIVE.— Great advances have recently been made in the class of sewing machines known as the Look Stitch, by the Grover and Baker Sewing Machine Company, 730 Chestnut street. This Company have just in troduced a variety of machines of this class, which they esteem greatly superior to all other lock-stitch machines in use. These new machines do away with all' complications—gears, cog-wheels, tension wires and pads—and in simplicity, beauty, and dura bility, leave nothing to be desired. These improved rock-stitch machines are of similar patterns, and are sold by that Company at the same price as their noiseless Grover & Baker stitch machines. There is now one place in our city where purchasers can examine the two best machines in the market, learn their relative merits, and select for themselves_ Parties who have only the right to make and sell one kind of machine cannot be expected to reveal its defects. 'This Company, however, being manu facturers of both kinds, can afford to tell " the whole truth.”—Transwipt, (Phila ) ATTENgION is invited to an advertisement of the.

BY the latest news from Charleston we see that Beauregard is about to assume the offen sive in that quarter. We were not aware before that he had ever ceased assuming the offensive. Of a Creole descent, one part French, one part Indian, and five parts African, he, to our minds, assumed the offensive early. Educated by the 'United States at West Point, and the first one in that institution. to break the rules by Bending a challenge, and after wards, when in Mexico, at the head of a clique to get President Polk to supersede General Scott by Gideon J, Pillow, and lately having the unenviable notoriety of being in command at the attack on the flag of his country at Fort Sumpter, all combine, in our opinion, to class him with those who are peen- , Early offensive.
