In conclusion, Colonel White exhorted his hearers

A series of resolutions were adopted with great
enthusiasm, attesting the fidelity of the people of
the Nineteenth ward to.the Union, and the support
of the Government in a vigorous prosecution of the
mar.
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

was a time when the clouds were darker than now.
The bosom of the patriot was sad; our country wept
at the parricidal blows inflicted upon her, but we
never despaired. Despair is inconsistent with the
great American character. [Dries of "that's so,"

Colonel Alarm spoke in this strain for half an
hour, exhorting the yeoman population to forget
political party for the once, and present an undivided
flout on the second Tuesday iu (tober, and cast
their votes for the old flag of Mt Union. The
Colorel retired amid great enthusiasm.
Colonel Thomas Fitzgerald, a war Democrat, was
the next speaker. His appearance on the stand Was
hailed with great applause.

'Pie false and wick, d leaders of the. Democratic party

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.

[Applause ] To this there was no reply. There could
be no reply. It is false then, to say that this war was

To the latter of The Press:
1R : liavingjust returned to my native city, after
11,c ) roughly canvassing most all of the counties west
of the Alleghenies, I consider myself competent to
speak, with a degree of assur.uce, as to the probable
result 01 the coming election in the western part of
our State. 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. In some districts I found Cop
perheads in the ascendency, but it was only where
ignorance prevailed; a few with whom I convened
were ignorant of their candidate's name, knowing
nothing except that they were Democrats and in
tended voting that ticket. Such men will be of little
-service to.our Copperhead enemies. The true no
bility of the West—the honest workingmen--is
aroused. Western Pennsylvania will astonish the
most sanguine by the immense majority she will
pile up for Curtin and Agnew. Mechanics of Phila
delphia, imitate the activity of your brothers in the
West; be up and at work—convince them that you
are not one iota less loyal than they. While those
of Allegheny county are rejoicing over giving a
Union insjority of 7,000 or 8,000, let us respond to
the tuna, "We are coming, Uncle Andy, with. 10,000

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.

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

pain." [Sensation.]

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.
Ix the Supreme Court of Pennsylvant,%, yester
day, the constitutionality of the Conscription act
• .
was argued , upilth is Motion for special injunctions to
restrain its Operation. 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,

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

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Orders have gone to the

which will provide against every possible disastrous
contingency. 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. Re sends word
here that he is outnumbered largely, and there Is no
longer any, doubt that such is the case.

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

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

quarters for several weeks, and, that several thou
sand of Pemberton's men were in the battle.

SENROA STATION, Sept. 15.—1 attacked the com
bined forces of Coffee and Brown, at this place, ono
mile west of Enterprise, at the mouth of Buffalo
meek, this morning at 10 o'clock, and, after an en
gagement of two hours, completely routed them,
driving them southward in disorder.
As the engagement occurred in a dense grape-vine
thicket it is impossible to estimate the enemy's
number or their loss. Five are known to have been
killed, and a Captain M. R. Johnson, I learn, is one
of them.
I have lost none In either killed, wounded, or

from 1,000 to 4,000. Illy force is 300 strai'.

French Intervention.
p.PCOA.D . l l 4:C.ll.ltoi§4 , l:4:Oodtki:lo , Vit. l o) , •*44l! , -I_ , /
Onsonswa.mr, Sept. 23.—The revival of theeepores
of French intervention is groundless. The oriels
has passed for the present, some weeks ago.
About the middle of August a letter was received
by a prominent Kentucky Seceseionistfrom ex-Gov.
Moorhead, who to now in Paris, and who wrote that
he had seen the draft of a treaty, drawn up between
Napoleon and Slidell, in which recognition and as
sistance were fully guarantied, Texas being the con
sideration, and that, by the next steamer, he hoped
to announce the consummation of the treaty.
Thereat our Kentucky Secessionists were in great
glee, and when admonished that Jeff Davis , card
cattle was tumbling about his ears, eignilleantly
" Wait I We shall sell ourselves to the
French."
A fortnight since another letter arrived from
Pdoorhead, who wrote than the Confederates were
dished, as Napoleon had notified Slidell that nego-
tiations could proceed no further till the Polish ques
tion was settled.
Thie, Moorhead oonatrued to mean an indefinite
postponement of the matter, brought about by the
news of the Union successes in the Southwest, and
he indulged in the gloomiest forebodings. We hear
no more of a French intervention across the river.
You can rely on this as a fact
Ohio War Democratic State Convention.
CINCINNATI, Sept 23.—The War Democratic

Fine Arts
DARLEY'S WAR DRAWINGS.—At Messrs. Earle's
Gallery, Chestnut street, are now on view two
drawings by the distinguished artist, F. 0. C. Par
ley, N. A. They are severally entitled "Foraging in
Virginia," and " Cavalry Charge, Fredericksburg.'
The first of these represents a tew Federal soldiers,
who have made " a raid for provend,. as Major Dal
getty would term it, and have dropped into a well
stocked farm yard in Virginia. They are making
the hest use of the opportunity, and live stock and
fowls, with a trifle of food for their horses, are
rapidly changing hands. The calmness with which
the leader, on horseback and literally encompassed
with spoil, is taking it, is well contrasted with the
unrestrained exultation of the brace of dusky con
trabands who had been left in charge of the property.
It is an amusing and accurate scene, such as, no
doubt, might often have been noticed in the war.
The other drawing is of a very different character,
representing an incident that occurred at Fredericks
burg, on November 9, 1862. It was determined to
make a demonstration upon Fredericksburg on
that day, and Captain Dahlgren (on Sigel's staff, we
helleve,) made a charge with a small but gallant
band of cavalry. The moment chosen by the artist
is when the soldiers are most occupied in fighting,
their indignation having been roused by the firing of
shots from the houses. In the foreground, at the
right, a rebel has just shot one of our men, who had
taken possession of a Confederate flag. He is pre
paring his weapon for another shot, and his family
are flying, in affright. In the centre are some per
sonal reneounters, and on the left, a little in the
back, a woman, from a window of the "Jeff Davis
Hotel,. is castinudown furniture on the heads of
the assailants. Altogether, it is a highly spirited
scene. Photographs from these drawings, only a
little smaller in size than the original, have been
carefully executed, and their richness of tone cannot
be too highly praised. They have been published by
J. 11 cOlure, New York, and are procurable here
from Messrs. Earle & Son. The price, we believe, is
as low as seven dollars the pair. They are fine spe
cimens of a great artist's works.
Deincluse, a noted journalist and art critic, re
cently died in Paris. He was a man of great talent
and no genius, and in a very long life was well ac
quainted with almost every eminent person of the
Parisian world. He was on an intimate footing of
friendship with Talmei and. Mlle. Mars. He was
one of tbe persons present (there were but twenty
in all) at the famous scene between this brilliant
actress and Telma. She had just been deserted by a
brilliant colonel whom she devotedly loved. She
was almost broken-hearted. She sobbed. She
screamed. She apostrophized the absent fickle sol
dier who had become satiated with all those charms
which The world never grew tired of admiring. She
determined to starve herself to death. Thirty-six
hours parsed away without a morsel of food pass
ing her lips. Her attendants really apprehended
that death would ensue, and they conjured Talma to
come and try to persuade her to relinquish her fatal
resolution. Talma came, made the cook give him a
savory soup, went to Mlle. Mars, who had not
spoken a word for a whole day, and said to her, in
his tones of deepest tragedy: "See_ here, Mars, 'its
thy old comrade- 3 UB Talma—who begs it of ye—
take—do take this soup I" The words were scarcely
out of his mouth when Mile. Mara took her hand.
kerchief from her eyes, and turning suddenly on
Talma, said: "Go to the d—l with your soup !
Order me a good dinner!" She laughed, and all the
others laughed, and her days of mourning were at
an end.

A rumor is current in Vienna that the betrothal

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. Tennent School, in another part of to-dars

ADVICE GRATlS.—Respect gray hairs, es
pecially your own ; estimate a man according to his
worth ; buy not that for which you are unable to
pay; tell not an untruth, even in jest; to be
candid, speak of the present as though they were
absent ; to be charitable, speak of the absent alt ,
though they were present ; to be economical, pur
chase your Fall Clothing from the beautiful store of
Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut street.
FALL.—The melancholy days of the year
have come, the winds have Erown raw and chill, the
maple is blushing at the prospect of , being speedily
stripped of its foliage, and leaves will soon lie thick
upon the ground. At such a time, when anthracite
and flannels are in demand, and when "night comes
in ere afternoon is fairly out," it becomes all seekers
after comfort and elegance to hie them to the lkown

for themselves seasonable garments.
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- ,
