both aide of the fabric. .

/well as the length of the stitch, can readily be done while
the machine is in motion.
Id. Everytatitch is perfect in itself, making the seam
secure and uniform, combining elasticity. strength and
beauty.
4th. It has the revertible feed motion, which enables
the operator to run the Work to either the right or left,
or stay any part of the seam, or fasten the ends of seams
without turning the fabric or stopping the machine.
6th. It to the most rapid sewer in the world, making
11113 stitches to each revolution, and there Is no other
machine which will do so large a range of work as the

efillty, without change of tension or breaking of thread.
7th. It hems. fells, binds, gathers, braids, quilts, and

Bth. Its simplicity enables the most inexperienced to
operate it. Its motions are all positive, and there are
trio fine aprings to get out of order, and it is adapted to
all kinds of cloth-work, from thick to thin, and is at
uosoet noiseless.

I write you from the old headquarters of General
Meade. - A. month has elapsed since the time we left
them to march into Culpeper. Now we are on our
way back to the classic battle-grounds of Bull Run.
Perhaps we go alone, or only accompanied by be
tween 25,000 or 30,000 rebels. But we march so silent
ly and rapidly that I am inclined to believe we must
expect to meet some body very soon. Do not think
because our army is here this morning, that we have
fled from Culpeper, or that the old headquarters of
the army are reoccupied. lam stopping outside the
lines ; but I expect our troops will soon encircle me
when I shall be safe. Two hundred guerillas are re
ported to have passed in close proximity to the
house 'wherein I now write ; bUt I think this my
safest place on that account; two balls seldom hit
the same spot, two large roving bands rarely can
pass near the same spot.
RETIRING FROM CULPEPER-CAVALRY
SKIRUISHING
lam anticipating with Nfilesian eagerness. How
came I here, when no later than Saturday I was on
the banks of the Rapidan? The explanation of this
query is a much easier performance than the ride
from thatriver to'ciermantown. Ia the 'last week
the Army of the. Pbtomao became strategical. It
has kindled campfires where there were no encamp.
meets, marched down to the very edge of the Rapt
dan, aa if inteeding to cross, and then marched
hastily back -again .to the Rappahannock. It has
retired from Culpeper as if pursued, and lo! no foe
appeareth in our rear. Of course, our, army did not
expect to remain at Culpeper all winter,— Our line
of railroad was too slender a Support for Romany
men in such a country. Last Friday our troops,
near Madison Court House, discovered, by unmis
takablesigns, that - Stuart was in their neighborhood,
With his entire cavalry. Four days before detach.
merits of dismounted cavalry had crossed the Rae
binson river, but were driven back, their object un
doubtedly being to reconnoitre. Next night portions
of the sth New York and sth Michigan Cavalry dis
mounted and went into Madison Court House,
where they found only a few pickets. The party
who visited them the previous night had returned
to their main body, some miles back of Madison.
The next night, which 'was last Saturday, there was
a very large rebel force came into Madison, and
from early dawn the rumbling of wagons, the noise
of many axes, and the busy hum of camps, could be
plainly heard. Some of the cavalry crossed the Ro
binson river that night, and on Saturday about day-
light they began to march in force—cavalry, in
fantry, and artillery. Companies I) and Cof the sth
New York Cavalry were on picket when the ad
vance was made. They were driven in, skirmishing
all the way to their reserve. We were too small in
numbers to retard materially the enemy's approach,
and were forced to fall back. The 120th New York
had about two hundred men in the woods, near
James City. They fought as long as there was.any
hope, and held their ground a short time, but the
rebels soon scattered them, capturidg about fifty. It
was currently reported that the whole regiment was
captured, which is untrue. General Kilpatrick came
up early in the morning, recaptured moat of these
men, and they came straggling into their places
again.
THE ENEMY'S MOVEMENTS AND OUR OWN.
Perhaps the enemy was throwing his whole
strength upon our right. It was reasonable to sup
pose he meant to outflank us if. possible. They did
so before, when General Pope was here ; might they
not succeed in doing so once morel They might
possibly have a design upon Washington; nay,
hearing that we had depleted our army by sending
away two corps, might they not intend to , menace
-Washington or influence the elections ? The übi
quitous and irresponsible, but "reliable contra
band came over the river before. Stuart did, and
said nearly all the. troops sent to. Georgia had re
turned. This man came twice a week to see his
dusky-looking wife, who resided on this side of the
river, while he worked oa the opposite bank. It is
true, he knew nothing more than what he hadheard,
and, even granting that he tells the truth, the ques
tion arises, did he hear the truthl That Stuart,
with all his cavalry, was on our right 'flank was
certain; we had skirmished with him to James
City. One corps was supporting him, and two di
visions of A. corps followed hard after.
. Thus matters stood up to Saturday afternoon.
GMieril Meade ordered the 6th Corps to march frOM
their quarters near Culpeper to the Rapidan. All
the other corps were ready to cross the river simul
taneously, while Buford, with his division, sup•
ported by the Ist Corps, should cross at Germania
Ford. The sth Corps got to the Rapidan in time
to kindle a long line Of' very brilliant fires, which
they left to burn alone, while they marched back
toward Rap"Pahannock Station. About four o'clock
that afternoon the Army of the Potomac had turned
their backs on Culpeper, the Rapidan, and the
rebefs, and were marching merrily along toward—
they did not care where. Buford obeyed his in
structions to - the letter, and never for a moment
thought the army was growing. feinty ; that they
were only pretending to cross in heavy force ; that
the enemy would signal a recall to the troops who
were bent on turning our right. Buford crossed the
Rapidan—at all events, he was not to be found on
this side when the aid was - sent to order him back.
All Saturday night the troops marched through
Culpeper, and every avenue leading from town was
choked with teams. Cedar and Slaughter moun
tain ' was red with the glare of many thousand
damp-fires ; for miles and, miles along the river side
the lurid "glare of fires could be seen, plainly indi
cating that we were ready to cross the river. All
along the roads leading from Culpeper, armed men
walked silently; ammunition wagons rattled omi
nously, showing clearly that.we were making a re
trograde and not a forward march. About noon I
reached Rappahannock station, and for a moment
glanced with pride and admiration upon an exten
sive and formidable line of fortifications. General
Warren and staff rode along the tops of the hills,
examining with a critical eye their beauty or imper
fections. On I hurried to Bealtoal; from there here,
where I knew I could rest—if the guerillas would
not disturb me. They did not, and at this late hour
I am permitted to write something which I hope
has ceased to be contraband.
KILPATRICK'S GALLANTRY.
WARRENTON JUNCTION, Oct. 12.—The rebels en.
tered Culpeper about 1 o'clock P. DI., Sunday.
Everithing in the commissariat was carried safely
away, little or nothing being destroyed. Kilpatrick
fought desperately to,Brandy Station, once cutting
his passage through Stuart's whole command.
Both armies are racing , for Thoroughfare Gap.
REGIMENTAL.
Portions of the 6th Corps guard the railroad. The
93d Pennsylvania Volunteers, Colonel Long com
manding, are near this place. They had a vote, last
week, for Governor, Curtin receiving the vote of
every man. in the, regiment, with the exception of
half a dozen for Woodward. This regiment was
recruited in Lebanon, has done excellent service in
the field, and now has unanimously decided to re
enliat in the Veteran Corps.

Lee is reported to havpaseed through Warrenton
het night. I can scarcely believe it. B.
WASHINGTON REPORTS.
The New. York Times contains the following de
spatches
• .
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14,—The surplus baggage of
the Army of the Potomac has been removed to the
rear, and that army is stripping for fight. Meade's
position, yesterday morning, was on the north bank ,
of the Rappahannock, his right flank resting on the
eastern slope of the. Bull Run mountain. Since
then, however, he has fallen back to the neighbor
hood of Manassas plains. Lee'slaPhole force has crossed
the Rappahannock, and were yesterday pressing our
rear. - A battle this morning was considered-immi
neet. Our trains last night were all at Centreville.
LATER.
ELEVEN A. M.—Rumors are. rife that a general
engagement began at daylight this morning, on the
old Bull-Run battleground.
The command of the Ardy of the Potomac, of
course, is fatal. General Meade, in- his turn, has
been compelled to give place to some other man.
His removal from command seems to have been de
termined-on. His successor is said to be Major
General Daniel E. Sickles.

General Gilmore has everything in readiness, which
time Is fast approaching.

It ie quite amusing, as - well as a sad amine, to Wit- -
newt the men at work upon Wagner and Gregg, at
Wk9 l / tin lookout odes, " Cover, Mounds," ".Talues
Island," or whatever fort it may be, to see them
run into their bombproof, and no *goner doe. the
shell explode, when you see them as busily at work
again as if nothing had occurred to mar their pro
gram. I have frequently seen the men on the above
forts stand firm when shells were bursting over
them, making no attempt whatever to gain their
bombproofs. Our Swamp Angel Battery lend, her
compliments to Moultrie every morning in the way
of a "rotten shell," as Paddy terms it, but Moul
trie never replies to her Garde by any visitation of
shells, but l ibels content in shelling Wagner and

THE TORPEDO RAFT
00TOBER B.—Last night, while I was busily en
gaged writing this, I was suddenly aroused by the
loud explosion of a shell, and immediately we were
called to quarters, and casting off our lines from the
schooner, from which we were coaling, proceeded
towards the' Ironeides, when we found that a , tor
pedo had burst against her side, she keeping up an
incessant fire of musketry upon what appeared to
be a raft, but the night being dark it was impossible
to distinguish what it was. It appeared to bave a
dim light on the water.line, and. we immediately
trained our eleven.incli for it, but one of our vessels
being in line of tire, trevented us from firing. The
Ironsides then discharged two or three guns at it;
and in all pibbability the shot took effect, as it mad
denly disappeared. Our lieutenant went on board
the Ironsides, and learned that they saw what ap
peared to be a boat approaching, and the sentry
having challenged it three times, tired his musket,
which was preeeded by one from the raft, loaded
with buckshot, taking effect and mortally wound
ing Ensign Howard, who was officer of the deck at
the time.
This morning we learned from the dag•ahip that
it was a cigar steamer, with an immense torpedo
rigged on her stem, and was going at the rate of ten
miles an hour when she Wife& the Itonsides, the
torpedo exploding immediately on coming in con
tact with the vessel, making a tremendous noise,
and throwing the water Mali in tife air. However,
no damage was done the good old ship, and she now
ridei peacefully at anchor, as though nothing had
'occurred; •
The infernal raft contained four men, two of whom,
the captain and one man, have been captured ; the
other two not having been heard from, it is the sup •
position that they have been drowned. The captain
of it said "He was the last to leave thereby show
ing that it must have been seriously injured, and in
a sinking condition, to compel them to give up the
instrument of • their darling scheme, The man who
was: captured jumped off just before she struck the
Ironsides, and was picked -up by a boat. He said
they forced him to go in it, and was wishing it would
strike against something coming down and explode;
but it did not happen to strike against anything
until it hit the Ironsides, and I guess they thought it
struck something then.
ANOTHER INFERNAL OONTRIVANOE.
They may there is another at Charleston, ready to
come down ; and that it is impossible to get any one
to go in it, as the other day, in trying it, they went

THE WAR IN ORORGIA AND TENNESSEE.
Sherman's March to Reinforce Rosecrans
—The Railroads and the Rebels.
[gpeeial Detpatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Capio, Oat. 11.-1. have seen a native of the cone
try Attar Memphis, and one who is acquainted with
the country and, men. He is well and lately posted
regarding the condition of the railroads. His in
formation is as follows:
CORINTH AND AIRISPHIS
Corinth is one hundred miles in almost an easterly
course from Memphis. The railway track is in good
condition, and plenty of rolling stock on it to move
a large force, the new road in Arkansas having fur
nished part of it South of Corinth, some distance,
is located Columbus, Mississippi, where, it is report
ed, the rebels are now concentrating a goodly sized
force, with probably the intention of cutting off re•
inforcements - for Rosecransi now moving over the
Memphis and Charleston road.
COILINTH AND CHATTANOOGA
On the line of the Memphis and Charleston Rail•
road, which takes an almost eastern direction from
Memphis until it enters Georgia, there are several
smaller stations before you reach. Corinth. The
roan east of Corinth -is•.now- running 80 miles, and
can be run entirely to Chattanooga, a distance of
150 miles from Memphis, by the erection of two
bridges, which my informant claims Sheridan is to
take with him. The distance front Corinth to
Chattanooga, according to his figures, trAlt ..seven
and a half miles, or within fifty. D is in
Georgia, and still on an almost direct easterly line
from Memphis and Corinth. My informant thinks
that no marchiag, of any importance, will haveto be
done after the Tennessee river is crossed, and this
will be crossed in ferriage, not pausing to build the
bridges which have been destroyed.
The bridges over culverts and smaller streams are
to be built as the corps progresses, by an engineer
force, probably under the direction& Gen. Webster.
And this, with the preparations the army will have,
may not detain them long, unless sufficient force can
be gathered by Loring, in command of the rebels at
Columbus, Miss., to cut up more of the, road. 'So
far, they have been unsuccessful, having been driven
or in every instance before accomplishing anything.
P.BEIEL EN TERM,rmar.
There is no doubt of the act that the rebels are
straining every nerve to concentrate force enough
in Rosecrans , vicinity to crush him out and to fol
low up a success—of which they think they are
almost certain—by an expedition into our territory
stronger than that undertaken by Lee or. Morgan.
It is well that the attention of the Government be
called to this undoubted fact, to the end that—with
out weakening the force in Virginia—sufficient sol
diers should be spared to Rosecrans _to enable him
not only to hold the ground he has against all odds
the rebels can bring upon him, but to continue his
advance into their midst.` - Nothing at present so
frightens the South as the prospect that they must
give up all Tennessee, all of Northern Mississippi,
Alabama, and Georgia, and that must be the ulti
mate upshot of the situation if they cannot Whip
Itomecrans.
Sherman goes in such force that it is only a mat
ter of time as to when he may reach Rosecrans. He
must do it soon. The rebels cannot prevent it, ex
cept by driving. Roffecrans from his position, and
thus changing their base of operations to his (Sher-
man's) front.
The U. S. Sanitary Commission and the

CAMP LETTERMAN LUSPITAL,
NEAR GETTYSBURG, Sept. 26, 1863.
Silt: - The--undersigned Surgeons and Assistant
Surgeons of the General liospital near Gettysburg,
take pleasure in expressing our gratification at the
manner in which the affairs of the Sanitary Com
mission have been managed in this place since the
late battle. The supplementary articles for the sick
and wounded soldiers have been abundant, compri
sing eves y requisite which the exigency demanded,
and which nothing but a welbregulated system, with
much experiencir and forethought, could have se
cured. We are furthermore convinced that the sys
tem adopted by the Sanitary Commission, of dis
bursing their supplies only on the requisition of a
surgeon, in the only proper and safe method. Any
other course necessarily supposes an extra force,
which is calculated to cumber the hospital with irre
sponsible attendants, and to distract the public
benefactions, if not divert them from a just and
equal distribution among the patients for whom
they are intended.

NORTH CIROLINI.
The Mountaineer Unionist Rebellion—Plot
of Deserters to Obtain Bounties.
NRWBBII.I7, N. C., Oct. 7.—1 learn from the inte
rior that a short time since the 27th North Caro.
line rebel regiment and a battery were despatched
to disperse the Union men wise had congregated in
the mountains to the northward of Raleigh, to the
number of some thousands. The Union men met
the foe like heroes, fought for hours in the moun
tain fastnesses, and finally succeeded in cutting up
the regiment and capturing the enemy's battery.
About this time a portion of Lee's army, which
was sent from the Potomac to reinforce Bragg, was
passing through Raleigh, and it was reported that
it was designed to send a part of them to attack the
brave mountaineers. One regiment selected for the
purpose—the 66th North Carolina—not only posi
tively refused to fight against their neighbors and
friends, but said they would go no further towards
Eastern Tennessee (Chaff/n:100ga), and they were
finally sent to Charleston.
Letters received here expose a most rascally and
well devised scheme of certain persons to obtain
the bounties offered by States and drafted men. The
plan, it appears, has been working for some time In
the North, and, according to the operations thus
far, as exposed in an intercepted letter from one of
the rascals to a Confederate in this vicinity, one
man boasts of having made - one thousand five hun
dred dollars. The scheme is well laid, and finally
closes with an Understanding that, in case of emer
gency, or danger of being apprehended, the parties
engaged in the traitorous league shall desert to the
enemy. ..The elucidation of the whole affair le in
the hands of competent authority here, and when
the disolooures are fully made the public will be as
tonished at the extent of the nefarious plot.

THE MILITARY EMPLOYMENT OF SLAVES BY TFIE
SOUTII.-Mr. Collier, a member of the Senate from
Petershurg, Va., is the instrument of the slave.
owners in their attempts to, divert the blow which
the majority of the Virginians seem willing, accord.
ing tothe information received, to direct againetthe
institution of slavery in that State. In a resolution
recently introduced in the, Senate, Mr. Collier de- -
mended "that the Government should be forbidden
to interfere with slavery—that State Conventions
and Legislatures all over,,the Confederacy, should
be deprived of the right of altering existing institu
tions, and that the right of getting rid of the slave
property should be granted -only to the individual
owners.”
• These resolutions, presented twice by Mr. Collier,
once in 1862, and recently in 1863; are evidently the
result of the apprehension of the elaveowners ; for
.if their personal property had not been menaced,
they certainly would not have urged such a measure
upon the Legislature of the State. I will , add that
in both cases these resolution!! were referred to thp
Committee on Confederate Relations, which did not
deem it advisable to act upon them.

Dinner to the 118th Regiment of Pennsyl.
Vania ' Volunteers.
Oh Thursday evening' a celebration of a very
gratifying character came•off at the Girard House,
in the agreeable shape of re dinner to , the officer",
now' , in this city, of the 1113th Regiment of Penneyl
yenta Volunteers. This is one of the regiments
railed, accoutred, and sent into theffield by the Corn
Exohange Association, a body of gentlemen who
possess wealth, loyalty, and entevprise in no. ordi
nary degree, andere proverbial fortheir liberal; and
hospitable* character. The - officers of the - regiment
present were Colonel GwynnyMajor Henry
and Adjutant' Charles Heed. In. consequence . of
Indisposition r iColonel Prevost, the retiring - porn ,
mender of theeegiment, was unable to attend. The
following officers - wore among the invited' guests::
General Cadwallader, General Hatch, Me* Mbase,
Major McFall, Colonel Murphy, Colonel Jiiimes.P:
Perot, and Captain Boyd.
The dinner watmerved in the large dining-room-of
the Girard House; which was - handsomely decorated
with flags and other loyal insigne. Theehair, oocu
pied by Joseph W. Miller, Elm, war placed - under a.
canopy of flags and festoons of libwerm The dinner
was,excellent in all pointe--good viands, well -dregs.
ed, and well-served—and the wines- were of the
first quality. There seemed to be a• run upon.
Mumm's Cabinet, which was well iced' beforehand;
and some curious Madeira; which, very properly,was
not. It is only fair to say that the attendance was
admirablee-the value of active and intelligentwaiters
was very perceptible. During the dinner, and after
each toast, a brass band did"" discourse most excel
lent music." There were placed on the table; at-in
tervals, pyramids of bouquets, artistically arranged.
On the removal of the cloth, the chairman• ad!
dressed the company, consisting of about sixty-gen
tlemen, and made some prefatory remarks on- the
circumstances under which they had'assembled. To
raise a Corn Exchange Regiment was ee
ceived idea, which had been effectively carried out.
The wishes, the hopes, the sympathies• of the Corn
Exchange Association had been. with these brave
men during the dangers which they daredwith cou—
rage and loyalty; the Assooistion triumphed in the
glory, and grieved with the sufferings' of that regt.
ment,. scone of whom hadTallen;briptized tdeodi,
some of whom had escaped the.perils of the battles
field. [Applause.] He concluded by proposing:
Our honored guests—Cot Prevost, the retiring, and ,
Cot Hwyn. the present commander of the 118th Regi
ment : May the history of the regiment prove as pros
perous and happy under the one as it has beea,under the
other, glorious ant honorable.
OM. Gwyn acknowledged' the honor paid'to him-
Beleand friends in a brief and grateful speech, which
he read, a copy of which we have been unable to
obtain.
The next toast was:
tiert ' !JSZ e tTer. o e f . alryulnollfigiggi,polaM,Ytah,
his whole heart.
A. G. Cattell, Em., late President of the C. E.
Association, in acknowledgment, said that he was
paying no compliment to the place or to its-incum
bent, when he said that it yes-the highest position
a man could fill. A king might become such by
accident, or by bristling bayonets, which would sup
port him on the throne, but the President of the
United States was elected by the will of the people,
and ruled at the wish of those who chose him, Such
a position was high, holy, and responsible.- After
some further opposite remarks, Mr. Cattell
likened this country to a giant, with his head • in the
North, his feet bathed by the waters at the South,
one hand stretching across the Atlantic, and, the
other grasping the golden treasures of the Pacific.
lie concluded by characterizing Mr. Lincoln as
faithful and true—a man in whom- the people hail
confidence, and deserved and ought to obtain the
support of all loyal men. [Great applause ]
The Governor of Pennnavanta—the friend of the
Soldier, the lover of hisdountry ; the courteous Gen
tleman: He is without a rival in the affections of the
People of his State.
Alexander Getty, Esq., President of the Corn Ex
change Association, referred to the gratifying result
of the election which has proved how deeply An
drew G. Curtin was respected in Philadelphia. And
whyl Because he upholds thePreeident of the United
States in his strenuous efforts to suppress a wicked.
and unholy rebellion. [Applause.]l Governor Cur
tin deserved to be called "The- Soldier's Friend,"
and the army, whose interests he had so well oared
for, had !shown their gratitude and' their love-for
him. Whether in his public. capacity or in there
hations of private life, Governor Curtin was a gen
tleman worthy of all consideration and respect,
and the people had just shown how thorougldy,this
was their opinion of him. [Applause.]
"Three cheers for Curtin" were called for when
Mr. Getty concluded his eloquent eulogium, and
heartily given with a will.
The next toast, to which George L. Buzby; Esq.,
responded in a spirited speech, was,
Pier Country:
"Stand
iss4' r your Country and become a Man
. d and loved. It were a noble end.
'Ws; found dead, embracing her.' ,
The next succeeding toast, which was received
with "all the boners" and a considerable number
more, as becomes the gallant men whose valorous
achievements have astonished "all- the world and
the rest of mankind," was '
OUT Thlaier 3 , Brave men and true, may their deeds
be reverently appreciated,—
" To fight
In a just cause, and for our country's glory,
Is the best'officertf the.best of men: "
General George Cadwalader, on rising to acknow
ledge this toast, was greeted with hearty cheers. It
was difficult, he said,.to respond to such a compli
ment to his professlon. But he could say that - the
soldiers of the Union had done their duty on every
occasion, and had manfully sustained the banner of
their country. An atrocious rebellion, wholly' un
looked for by us, and entirely without cause or jus
tification, had arisen, and loyal men eagerly took
arms to put it down. [Great applause.] Whether
in the old-army or m the new, there was equal' aloe
crity in rallying around the country's flag, and the
spirit of the people would continue to supply brave
men to battle for the right to the end. This coun
try had always risen above temporary difficulties,
and was more capable than ever of doing so now.
[Cheers.] We would crush the rebellion, and the
reputation of this country would then be higher
than ever abroad. [Applause.] .
Let us unite to rise above all sordid considera
tions, and thus be in a position to resist all attempts
at foreign intervention, and, if we must, show that
we do not forget how other nations have treated
us in our crisis. [Great applause.] The General
concluded by returning thanks for the toast, in the
name of the soldiers, and complimented the Corn
Exchange Regiment for its uniform good ditcipline
in the camp and gallant conduct in the field. He
begged to give the health of General Winfield Scott,
their old chief, who should never be forgotten when
American soldiers were present. The toast was
drank with the honors.
The next toast, very briefly responded to (we be
lieve) by a naval officer, was :
Oar Sailors.: To them we confide the honor of our
flag upon the great aeters. In their keeping it has
been, is. and ever shall be, safe.
Henry Budd, Eeq., responded to the seventh - toast,
in an address which was so imperfectly audible at
the upper end of the room that the reporter does not
- verdure to give an abstract of it. The passages
which, he did catch were eloquent and patriotic.
The toast was :
Freedom :
"In the long vista of the years to roll, .
Let me not see my country's honor fade!
Oh ! let me see our land retain Its soul !
Her pride in Freedom, and not Freedom's shade!"
The chairman then proposed :
The Union Men of the South Tried in the furnace
of affliction. they shall come out of the fire as pure
gold.
Col. Thomas Fitzgerald, in speaking to this toast,
mentioned his own personal and happy intercourse,
in former days, with the true men of the South, and
named a great many gallant and able Southern gen
tlemen who, even now, amid the too general defec
tion of the Southern States, were to be found on the
side of the Constitution and freedom.
Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, of The Press, complied
with a demand from the company and acknowledged
the toast of
The Press: A most potent institution; in worthy
hands, in verity the palladium of our liberties. Let us
hope that while it shall ever retain its freedom it may
never forget its virtue.
The concluding of the regular toasts was :
Woman :
" Oh, woman ! whose form and whose. soul
Are the spell and the light'of each path we pursue,
Whether sunn'd in the tropics or chilled at the poles,
If woman be there, there is happiness too."
After this, tlie, Chairman proposed the health of
General Batch, which was suitably acknowledged,
in words "few but fitting," by that gallant officer.
The health of the Chairman, proposed 'by Dr. Mac
kenzie, was 'received, as was due to Mr. Miller's
talent and tact, with great applause, and was only
too briefly, however ably, acknowledged.
The Chair proposed—
The health of E.G. James, Bsq , an efficient, active,
and able Mernber of the corn Fischange assootation,
Mi. Slimes, in reply, complimented the Corn Ex
change Regiment on its good fortune in obtaining
for its immediately future commander so admirable
an officer as Colonel Gwyn. If the Almighty ever
made a so'dier, Colonel Gwyn WAS the man.'
[Cheers.] In all respects he wee fitted, mentally as
well as physically, teethe high position, and the re
giment might well be proud of him, as the Corn Ex
change Aniociation was proud of, and gloried in, his
regiment. [Applause.] Regretting the absence of
Colonel Prevost, he concluded by proposing that
officer's health. Among gentlemen toasted after
this were Major P. Herring, Edmund D. Souder,
Eeq., Colonel J. P. Perot, Major Paul of the cavalry,
Colonel Fitzgerald, and Major H. O'Neill and. Ad e
jutant Hand. The two last named are alters of
the UStb.
Major O'Neill, in a few w ords, well chosen and
earnestly spoken, returned thanks, and acknow
ledged this favor as one of many which he had re.-
ceived from the Corn Exchange Association. Their
remembrance would never leave him, and he hoped
to prove, by action rather than words, the sincerity
of his gratitude. [Applause.]
Thehealth of Charles Knecht, Esq.,' proposed by
George McKinstry, Esq., was followed by " The
memory of the brave men, who have fallen," given
by the Chair and drank in solemn silence.
E. G. James, Req., after alluding to the necessity
of providing means for emigration and commerce,
begged to introduce Mr. William Searle, of the firm
of Jebel & Searle, Liverpool, who had come to this
city to proffer to its merchants and traders a com
munication from England to and from Philadelphia
direct, means of e line of four first-class steamers.
[Applause.] He proposed the health of "Jebel &
Searle," of Liverpool. Mr. Searle, who was warmly
greeted, in expressing the gratification he felt in
attending a social meeting of Philadelphia mer
chants, said that he treated they would believe him
,when he said that the heart of England was with
the North and its cause. [Applause ] Many true
men avezCsa the pea would rejoice that

PERSONAL.
One - James- m. 4 .-orven, professed son of the"
eminent professor, David Dale - Owerri - sma-brother
of Hon.-Robert Dale Owen, has passed a brilliaat
career as a geological and otherwise profound and
scientific pickpocket in the West. A Chicago paper '
relates how he victimized. the lowans during the
progress of the State Fair; how he was going to -
Welled Lake, at Fort Dodge, upon geological busi- -
new; how he became engaged to several young -
ladies at Dubuque, who were connoisseurs in paint- -
log, all of whom he was to take to Europe next
summer; and introduce to the chef grammes of Mu
rillo and Raphael ; how he dined with Governor
Kirkwood ; how he prevailed upon Judge Mason, of
Burlington,, to present a copy of Owen's Geologies,'
Survey of lowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, to the
Young Men's Library—a very expensive volume,
and now out of print; how he hypothecated several
works of.Durwin, Lyell, and other geologists, at the
expense of prominent citizens of Dubuque; how he
stole a valuable overcoat from Dr. Horr, relieved
ladies of their money while he was talking with
them, took $BO from the pocket of an exhibitor of
stock who was showing him his animals, stole
money and clothing from the Key City House. All
these things are matters of record.
Edmond About, whose novels, plays, travels,
and political works appear equally popular, has pro
duced a story called "Madelon," of which no Eng
lish translation has yet appeared. It reminds one
of the younger Dumas' very loose "Dame aux Ca
meliaa," hut teaches a moral lesson, which that prii
rient fiction does not. The Saturday Review says :
"Shortly described, the book may be said to be a
picture of the career of a modern French Lair, and
the mischief done by her. Wherever Madelon goer
she leaves a trail of ruin behind her. Up to the
.commencement of the story she appears to have
been contented with ruining individuals only, but
chance opening a new field for her ambition, the
tale is mainly occupied in showing how she and her
allies effect the ruin of a comfortable country town.
and community ; and when we take leave of her she
ls busily engaged, with every prospect of entire mie
cess, in ruining a German principality of 17,000 in.
habitants. Improbable and extravagant as such a
plot may seem when merely outlined in this way, it
is not so in the hands of Edmond About. The whole
thing is-managed in the simplest and most marl
way possible."
—Among, the items of gossip, in Paris is
a statement that that sad dog, the Duke de Ca,
derousee Grammont, is about to be married. This
young gentleman, the inheritor of one of the oldest
and noblest names in France, has all his life, thus
far, devoted his entire attention to cards, pistols,
fast horses, and faster females. He it was , who

and half the demi-monde will go into mourning. It
will be is pity for them to go into mourning now,
too; for they look unusually pretty in the new
fashions which they have introduced, and which, as
usual; all the gran-made has adopted. Plaid is now
all the rage. Every lady wears plaid shawls, plaid
ribbons to her bonnet, and plaid neck ribbons till
the whole Boulevard begins to look like a walking
checker-board.'
Mr. George Opdyke, mayor of . New York, has
answered the letter of Mr. Thurlow Weed, in which
he is charged with being "gorged with Government
contracts,” "Equally groundless," trays Mayor
Opdyke, "is the charge againat me of being 'gorged
with Government contracts. , This, if true, would
not be at all censurable, provided I obtained them
fairly and executed them v ith fidelity ; and I defy
Mr. Weed, or any one else to point to a single busi
ness transaction of mine in violation of these rules,
or of any others prescribed by mercantile honor and
fair dealing. But you will be astonished at the men
dacity of the charge, when I inform you that these
contracts, like the offices of my ion, exist only in Mr.
Weed's imagination. I have no Government con

Brownson defines his religio•polltical views in the ,
following important words :
"I, air, am a Catholic and a Republican, and my:
aim in what I wrote was to show that the objections,.
of the Catholics, as such, to the Republican party
are insufficient to justify their hostility, even sup.
posing the Times to be the organ of the Evangelical
or Know• Nothing wing of the party, for even that
advanced no settled policy hostile to Catholics.
To-day the Know•Notbings are united with the
Democratic party, not with the Republican party.
The Republican party is not anti•Catholia, and. at
present is more fair and liberal to Catholics, and
makes less distinction between them and Protestants
than any of its predecessors.!'
The home- of the Herzog Maximilian, "Maps.
ror of Mexico," is described in Galignani :
The Chateau of Miramar, where the Archduke
Maximilian resides, is situated about three miles
from Trieste, on a promontory running out into. the
sea. The building is in the Gothic style,.and ita
proportions are immense. The Archduke had the
chateau built some years ago, and gave it the name
it bears, which, in the Spanish language, signifies
"Look at the sea." The Prince has there formed
magnificent collections of objects of natural history,
which he either procured during his difrerent voy
ages or which have been brought or sent to him by
oillcers of the Austrian navy. The Prince is inti
mately acquainted with the Spanish, and, like his
brother, the Emperor of Austria, speaks seven lan
guages.
The park of Miramar is the principal promenade
of the inhabitants of Trieste, and on Sundays and
fête days they dock thither in crowds. Tie apart
ments, the picture galleries, and the collections of
natural history, are kindly thrown open to visitors.
The Prince and Princess do much good in the coun
try, where they have acquired the love and esteem
of the inhabitants.
A writer for one of the Liverpool papers, whose
nom de :plume is "Dicky Sam," thus concludes an
article on Earl Russell's last speech:
"Your speech, my lerd, will satisfy moat people,
because most people will accept any explanation of
your policy on the American question, for the
simple reason that your policy was theirs. They
will approve of your reference to Mr. Sumner, and
willingly forget that England has its literary of
fences as well as the United States. Nothing has
been said beyond the Atlantic in the forrarof vitu
peration that cannot be paralleled on this side ; for
the Times will challenge comparison with the worst
language in any Yankeejournal. It is pleasant, how
ever, to find that you defend the Federal Govern
ment—even Mr. Seward comes in for a good word.
All peoples are accessible to nattery, and you excel in
paying, a compliment. When America welcomed
the Prince of Wales we all felt gratified; but you
ought not to have forgotten that the North was
kind, the South unkind on the occasion. But let
that pan. You have done wrong. and you offer
atonement. You ought to have stopped the Ala
bama but you did not. In consequence of your
omission millions , worth of private property has
been destroyed. That was a grievous wrong—a folly,
a wickedness.
" Knowing nothing of yourlordship but as a pub
lic man, I intend you no personal disrespect when I
say that you are a miserable statesman—at least, in
the estimation of DICKY SAM."
