The Army of the Potomac.
Our despatches from the Army of the Po
itornac, this morning, will be read with sa
tisfaction, for they effectually silence all ru-
MIS of disaster, and give full information
of its position and condition. General
73TFADE has shrewdly fallen back from the
'Rappahannock to Bristow's Station, the
movement being executed in complete or
der, without the loss of any stores, and
without serious molestation from the enemy.
On Wednesday morning General Luz at
the 2d Corps, commanded by, Gen.
WARREN, and his troops were repulsed
with heavylosscs, leaving a number of pri
soners, colors, and five guns in our posses
sion.
At six o'clock in the evening, the enemy
attempted to get into our rear by way of
Fairfax Court House, but were thwarted by
a counter movement. Gem MnEAE prompt
ly occupied this important point with a force
sufficient to repel any attack. In effecting
these important changes,. several cavalry
engagements necessarily took place—bril.
limit hand-to-hand combats between the
forces of Generals PLEASONTON and STUART.
The cavalry division of General GREGG
also was of decided service in repelling the
attack on the 2cl Corps.
Increased confidence will be felt in Gen.
Diftemrt, by this new proof of his ability.
Every attempt of the enemy to embarrass
-our army,in its march was impotent. The
Jesupprii in
given by the sth Corps, co
-3i4
. 6tby Gen. SYKES to the 2nd, is evi
cle*OfCadmirable disposition of forces.

because a battle:ls feared ; on the contrary,
fk general battle in the present position will,
we are afraid, be avoided by the enemy.
The Patronage of the City Government.
He is a wise man, who, after a great disas
ter or a great, advantage, makes provision to
repair
-thelorie*t. porp.tuate the other. The
tiniiiiivictoryAii: - Pennsylvania is a result
full of lessons 'and warnings. Used with
comprehensive judgment and generosity, it
**fir produce a perennial as well as perpetual
crop of good fruits. Misused, or turned to
mere party or selfish purposes, it will
prove to be the renewal of the meanest
of dissensions, and therefore of deserv
ed defeats. We take it, that Phi
ladelphia, the Union party in Philadel
phia, might do well to imitate the Union
ists of other counties of Pennsylvania
in this respect. In Allegheny, Lancaster,
Chester; Delaivare, Bradford, Erie, Wayne,
the Republicans have been more anxious
and ready to honor Democrats who act
with the friends of the Government, than
if they had been older and better tried in
the war against slavery. This course
should be imitated here, if we desire
to hold on to the vast power and the enor
mous majority given at the last election.
Let us recollect that every loyal Democrat,
with a few discreditable exceptions, is a
man who never looks back, or goes back,
if he can see before him honest consist-.
ency and a decent recognition of his courage
:and his country. One swallow does not
make a summer; nor one Barcninv an
ingrate loyal Democracy. Governor CUR
TIN' understands this philosophy, and
has .practised upon it from the first,
as many of . Ids appointments, military
and civil, will show. President LINCOLN has
given marked emphasis to the necessity of
-recognizing the loyal element of the Demo
cratic party, in reppated instances, since the
day 'of his inauguration, and his Cabinet
have gladly responded to 'his example.
It is not for us to suggest, much less to dic
tate, to those who are soon to be called on
to appoint the directors of the city patro
nage, just fallen, by the result of the late
election, into the hands ofthe Union men of
Philadelphia, and for years past so potent
-and fierce an engine in the hands of the
Copperhead leaders. But we trust the
right spirit will pervade the Councils and
ihe other municipal organizations soon to
be reconstituted. Narrow partisanship will
not do. Corrupt combinations are worse.
If we would hold to the mighty inilueriCe
given to us by the last election itl this city,
changing, as it does, the whole despotic
policy and action of disloyal men, which
- gave a single class a disgusting pre
ponderance in our local offices, we
must emulate the course of LINCOLN,
CIIIVTIN, and hosts of others of our leading
friends elsewhere. We must show that our
purpose is to snake the party of the Govern
ment and the Union a united party for` at
least a generation to come. Having no
leisure to press these views upon our politi
cal friends in a' personal appeal, we now
-address them from our editorial chair, leav
ing the whole case in their hands. As
'WILLTADI B. REED would say, these are
"words of counsel." But, differing from
him in one sense at least, ours are words of
sincerity as well as of counsel.
The •' Road to Peace.”
• Pennsylvania and Ohio have pointed out
- the road to peace ; the only road to peace
that the loyal States can ever be persuaded
to pursue. It is not the road indicated by
the Richmond Enquirer a month or so ago,
when it called upon the Northern friends of
the rebellion to "rally to the polls in Octo
ber," and elect the Democratic ticket, if
they would terminate the war. It is not the
road to peace that such men as M. VALLA.N
rmanem and Mr. WOODWARD •Would wil
lingly pursue ; nor that which the enemies
of the Union abroad have contended must
eventually be chosen. Nevertheless, we re
gard it as the only safe and honorable path
out of the labyrinth of difficulties that has
encompassed us. There can be no end to
the war until the traitorous conspirators who
commenced the war have been overthrown,
and Tendered powerless thenceforth to
jeopardize the stability of the Government.
This is what the loyal freemen of Penn
sylvania and Ohio have declared by their
votes. They could not waver now; after
the sacrifices they have made they could not
turn back now, when the goal is nearly
reached. These elections have perhaps
shortened the war by years; they have saved
to the nation rivers of blood, and millions
upon millions of treasure. Not only have
they saved the Government from destruc
tion at the bands of the Southern rebels,
but in all probability they have saved it from
any, foreign , interference, which must cer
tainly have followed the triumph or the
peade faction at the polls. They have shown
us how the war is to be ended; how not
merely a peace, but a permanent and secure
peace, may, be attained, a peace that will
leave- the Union brighter in its regeneration.
We have confidence that such a =peace
must speedily follow now. It is a mistake
to suppose that the ballot is powerless in the
work of- crushing the rebellion. We may
gain material victories over the rebel armies.
We may drive them back from position to
position ; we may occupy the Southern ter
ritory ; and destro3 the military power and
resources of the Southern States. But these
material victories are not to be wholly re
lied upon in the work of restoration. We
must gain a moral victory over the rebel
lious hulas of the Southern people. We
must show them by our ballots, not less than
by our bullets, that we are unanunous for
the restoration of the Union, and are deter
mined to make any sacrifice, and to go any
length, to achieve this result. And when
this truth, so forcibly expressed in the late
elections, comes to be fully understood
and believed in Nerth and South, the in
stinct of r:lf•preservation alone will prevail
upon the people of the South, and those
who have abetted them in our midst, that a
continuance in resistance to the authority of
the Government will be as vain as it must
be fatal. After this must come peace. The
Richmond paper was, right when it relied
upon the Northern Democracy to seal - a
truce at the ballot-box, and point out how
the war shall be ended. But it was the
loyal' Democracy that has done this thing.
Will it be believed in Richmond that"there
can be 16yai Democrats ? It is because the
Southern people have always regarded the
great Democratic party of tie North as their
ally (as, indeed, the greater portion of it has
been), that they have been encouraged to
maintain their defiant. attitude. Let them
see that this belief is-delusive—let them see
that their friends are in a decided minority
here, as they are abroad—and they will
come to consider, and to ask themselves,
what is to be gained by Prolonging a hope
less struggle. And if their haughty pride
has been sufficiently humbled to answer the
question honestly, the answer will be a uni
versal cry for peace.- .
Tests of Victory.
" There must be some general explanatiOn
of what has been so invariable in the war—
the fruitleig and barren character of our
victories." These words are the pith, of an
editorial in the Richmond Examiner, and
form a remarkable confession. Great and
decisive 'victories, it justly says, transfer
large territories from one belligerent to
another, or give the key to controlling po
sitions. These are.not the results of rebel
victories, but they are the exact results of
the great Federal campaigns. Gen., GRANT'S
successes restored immense territory, and
with Gen. BOWMAN& advance won the,
controlling positions of the war, hold- /
ing the Mississippi river and Eastern Ten
nessee. Could we have clearer evidence of
Our military superiority -than these facts—
thiS reluctant confession of the enemy
Argument is unnecessary to prove the wis
dom of the war policy of the Government,
and especially of the administration of the
War Department. The barren and fruitleSs
character of the rebel victories, the great
and permanent results of our oWn—these are
the vindications of Mr. STANTON, the
highest honors of the noble armies he con
trols.
Our Loyal Members of Congress.
The gentlemen elected to the new Na
tional House of Representatives from this
city, on the Union ticket, Hon. CHARLES
.O'NEILL, Hon. W. D. KELLEY, Hon.
LEONARD MEYERS, and Hon. M. Russm
THAYER, were constant in their efforts in
favor of the cause of the, country, and to
these efforts much of our great local success
may be justly credited. Mr. O'NEILL spoke
in many of the wards with rare sense and
power, and Mr. MEYERS made the Ken
sington district ring with his appeals, and
the result, in that as in O'NEILL's, may be
read in the vote, of. Tuesday. Mr. THA
YER'S speeches in the rural parts of his dis
trict will long be remembered for their fer
vor and their truth. Judge KELLEY'S
speeches, delivered in some thirty counties of
the State, will never be forgotten by the
boats who heard them. He is back in good
health and spirits, and ready for the new
labors before all the friends of the old flag.
No Recognition.
It must be clear to the capacity of even a
Copperhead—notoriously the meanest ima
ginable—that England has not the slightest
intention of acknowledging the South as a
nation, and that the South has abandoned
all expectation of her doing so. It is very
true that Mr. GLADSTONE, in a post-prandial
speech, boldly ventured the false statement
that JEFFERSON DAY'S had made the South a
great nation. True, also, that Lord Rus-
SELL rashly hastened to acknowledge the
rebels as belligerents, at a time when they
had done little more than fire upon Fort
sumpter---tbough , hp has allowed Poland to
battle with the gigantic power - of Russia for
eight months without acknowledging that
noble nation to be belligerent. But, what
ever absurdity GLADSTONE uttered, what
ever folly RUSSELL committed, these men
are only units in the British Cabinet, and
the aggregate decision of that body, the real
ruling power Over England, is that the South
shall not be recognized. Queen VICTORIA, .
in general, has very little influence over her
Cabinet, seeing that they are legally and con
stitutionally responsible, while "the Queen
can do no wrong;" but we suspect that her
known feeling in'favor of the Union here
has not been without some effect. Prince
ALBERT, it is notorious, corrected, and mo
dified, and mitigated the offensive despatch
which Lords RUSSELL and PALMERSTON
sent to this country on the affair of the
Trent steamer, and his widow naturally
must lean to his view of the question.
Some very competent authorities assure
us that the South has abandoned all hope of
beingyecognized by England. Mr. MAsoN,
in - a leave-taking letter to Lord RUSSELL,
the mock-solemnity of which is as burlesque
as any scene in " Bombastes FurioSo,"
gives his lordship a quotation from a de
spatch from himself to - JEFF Davis, in
which that worthy frankly declares that, as
the British Government has determined to
decline the overture made by him (MASON)
for establishing, by treaty, friendly rela
tions Between the ruling Powers fespec
tively in London and in Richmond, and en
tertain no intention of receiving him as the
accredited Minister of the rebel Govern
ment near the British Court, his mission
must be considered at an end ; a melan
choly fact, which the said 31Asoic commu
nicated, with great gravity, to the above
mentioned Earl RUSSELL.
The Index, organ of the rebel Govern
ment, and published in London, goes into
particulars, and contrasts the treatment, by
France and England, of the two Southern
emissaries. " MT. SLIDELL," it says, "has.
been received and uniformly treated by the
Government of France with every mark of
consideration and respect for the Govern
n-tent he represent% There may be grave
reasons, regarding policy or public law,
why France, like England, may' not deem
it incumbent as yet to recognize those States
as an independent political power ; but their
representative has been freely admitted to
every fbrm of intercourse with the Govern
ment of France, to personal interviews with
the Emperor whenever he ha% asked for
them, with immediate access to all or any of
the Ministry, at first request "
Cn the other hand, the same authority as
sures us in a very.lachrymose manner, " In
England, MT. MASON has been held by the
Government in the very opposite position.
His correspondence with the Foreign Office,
laid before Congress at Richmond, we know
from the Southern press, produced a feeling
-of deep and universal indignation. It
showed that, with the exception of a sin
gle and formal interview with Earl Rus-
SELL, on his arrival, appointed at his resi
dence, and not at the Foreign Office, he
had been admitted to no intercourse what
ever."
It is evident, from this admission,, that
while the Richmond Government and the
rebel papers were telling their dupes that
'England would immediately recognize
the South," the British Ministry invariably
gave the cold shoulder to Mr:MASON, the
mock-ambassador, and that , on the only
occasion when Lord RUSSELL did see him,
it was, not at the Foreign Office, but at his
lordship's private residence !
The Landon Times, which has much
abated its rancor against this country, can
didly confesses that Mr. MASON'S departure
from England is acceptable, that his pre
sence in London, without the slightest
chance of ever being allowed to' present his
credentials, was worse than ludicrous ; that
his pseudo-republic is very nearly played
out ; and that the British Government
would rather have his room than his com
.
pany.
As for Mr. SmDELL's occasional inter
course _with the Emperor NAroixoN, we
believe, as Bir Charles =Coldstream would
say, that " there's nothing in it." Monarchs
use individuals to suit their own interests
or caprices, mid then summarily dismiss
them. As FRIMERICK the Great said of
:VOLTAIRE, " the orange sucked, the rind is
thrown away." NAPOLEON must see, as
shrewd PALMERSTON has seen, that the
`final suppression of the rebellion here is
only a question of time—yes, and of very
little time. No other European ,"monarch
has intimated.any purpose of interfering in
our civil war. If NAPOLEON should do, it,
he will stand alone.
Is he the man to.risk a misunderstand
ing with England, on behalf of the rebels
.the South ? Let him recognize the re
volted • States as "a great nation," and
idown falls the entente corditzte with Eng
land;
the great anchor by which he
thus hitherto been safely moored as a
ruler among the nations.. It was England
that in 1848 acknowledged the French Re
public and its unexpected President—that
hastened to give its approval (Lord Par,
istEnsTox, did it) to the coup d'e,tat of 1851—
that acknowledged the .Empire in 1852
that sided with France, in 1854, against
Russia—in - a word,. that has madi NAPO
iatort respectable •before tho world. When
he was an exiled adventurer in London, no
ono, dared take him by the hand to intro
duce him to Queen VICTORIA ; but the
moment that she gave him - her cheek to
kiss, on the grand staircase in Windsor
Castle, and when, with her own hands,
she buckled the Garter of chivalric renown
aniund his knee, the man was rehabilitated
in the eyes of all contemporary sovereigns.
Not for the sake of twenty Southern Con
federacies would Na.routox initiate a diffi
culty with England. Her settled policy is,
not to recognize the South, and, whatever
the apparent difference May be, his cannot
act
. seriously against it. We sincerely be
lieve that England and Franco will allow
us to end the war in our own manner, and
according to our own Policy.
The Rebent Elections.
Ohio elects Jonri BROUGH with a Majority
of over 50,000 ; a gain of nearly 30,000.
Pennsylvania elects ANDREW G. 'CURTIN
with a majority of about 20,000.
Indiana has elected nearly the whole
Union ticket.
Nebraska, on the 13th, held an election
for members of the Legislature. The HOMO
will probably stand twenty-seven Unionists
to twelve Democrats ; the Council, eight
Unionists to five Democrats.
Baltimore, on Wednesday, held an elec
tion for City Councils, resulting in the suc
cess of all the unconditional Union candi
date&
These facts conclusively - prove that the
North sustains the Administration, is satis
fied.with its management of the war, and
approves of its policy and purposes. The
only State which now stands in prominent
opposition, to the diovernment is New York,
and New York only so far as her 'iminense
influence is controlled by HORATIO SEY
MOUR. That the people of the Empire State
will elect the Union ticket in November is
now a certainty, and that success will be the
final triumph at the polls essential to final
triumph cn the
A RIVAL OP On. DIACKAY.—It will hardly be
credited that a correspondent of- the London Morn•
ing Herald, writing from New York on the 25th ult.,
is the author of the following' ludicrous stupidity.
He says : "It is the first time in six years that I
have seen large quantities of roasted apples sold in
the market. They are roasted on the trees by the
heat of the sun (1), and then gathered and brought

foreign diplomatists, he adds : "The diplomatic
company that is travelling west under charge of
Seward has met with a loss. The French Minister

earth, and if we simply go on showing our strength,
these will be no danger whatever of intervention.
There will •be no danger, because it will not pay.
[Cheers.] It is true that Great Britain has behaved
very unneighbnlly. We used to think this great
Anglo. Saxon family was to otand'together the world
over to establish freedom of the press, freedom of
the ballot-box, freedom of thought, freedom of
speech, and freedom for all; but, of late years, we
have seen manifestations of a very unkind and un
friendly, spirit; and sometimes I have felt as if I
wanted to take old mother England by the hair
and give her a mighty good shaking. [Loud
laughter and applause.] I am not sure that this is
the wisest plan ; but of tbis I feel tolerably ogre,
that England will net send any more pirate-ships
out against us ; and I think when England thinks
the matter over calmly; when she retests of the.

British seamen, armed by British guns, and ever

attempt to make an empire in Mercian some time
ago, and, if I am not mistaken, was no great suc

peror will find his bed of roses there, but I am
strongly inclined to think that the roses will be
very few and the bed very hard. [Cheers and

WASHINGI'ON, D. 0., Oct. 15
The Obstructions at Charleston
FIOXII what can be ascertained of the real state of
affairs at Charleston, the rebels have effectually
closed the channels to the city to our fleet, reserving
a passage, however, to their own craft after the
manner of a canal, with a safety.lock against their
enemies. The obstructions may be of such a nature
as not to be removed by any appliances of our own,
or of too formidable a character to justify a hazard•
ous attempt by our iron-clads to penetrate farther
into the harbor and within range of the rebel guns.
Under these circumstances, the best engineering
and strategic skill becomes necessary on the part of
the respeitive commanders of the land and water
forces to make a thoroughly successful demonstra•
tion upon Charleston. Such a result is not con
sidered doubtful, but lime is necessarily required for
the consummation of their plans.

have been received. It appears the rebels, early in
the morning, furiously attacked the 2nd Arniy
Corps, commanded by Gen, Warren, and the caval
ry division of Gen, Gregg.
The 2d Corps being one of the oldest, and highly
efficient, succeeded in stopping the rebels' advance,
compelling the enemy to fall back with heavy lose,
our own troops also suffering largely. The Federal
cavalry in like manner, fought with great despera
lion, leaving many killed and wounded on the field.
A considerable number of prisoners fell into our
hands, and a battery of six fine guns. Gen. Sykes,
with the sth Army Corps, ably supported the 2d
in their arduous task of defending the rear. At six
o'ciock in the evening,Gen, Lee made a desperate at-
tempt to flank General Meade by way of Chantil
ly, Lee endeavoring to get into General Meade's
jeer by the way of Fairfax Court House.. Inl this
they were unsuccessful, as General Meade antici
pal.ed the rebels by falling rapidly back to the co.
veted spot, thus effectually checking a move
ment which would have endangered both the
ArmY of the Potomac and the capital. Ba
ling last night General Meade ordered one of
his oupply.trains further back in his rear, when
ft was attacked by 'a small force of the re
bels. probably mounted guerillas. The teamsters,
received not to lose the property, rallied to defend
it, and succeeded in driving away the enemy, who
et daped with only two of the very large number of
wagons. It is not believed there has bean any fight
ing of importance to-day. Artillery firing was heard
early this morning, but was not of long continuance,
Major Gen. Daniel E. Sicklea, with his staff, left
for the front' at twolo'clock this morning. In case
of a general, engagement he will take command of
his own corps.

completely routed and scattered in all direotions,with
the loss of all their artillery and baggage, and' .a
large number of small arms and prisoners. The

WAR MISCK &NY.
AN EXCELLENT PLAN FOE RECEITITING.—We
find in the Washington correspondence of the New
York Tribune the following announcement of the
inauguration of an excellent scheme for recruiting
the army, proposed some time since hy the Governor
of Indiana:
The Iron Brigade, being the let Division, let
Corps, and composed of the lath Indiana, 2d, Bth,
and 7th Wisconsin, and 24th Michigan, is to be seat
West, each regiment to its own State, to recruit up
to the maximum standard before taking the field
again. The Governors of the respective States are
to give furloughs, as they judge expedient, to further
the object. Bounties will be 'givenin accordance
with existing orders from the War Department, and
veterans will have superior °Wail to promotion. It
is probable that this plan, which is said to have ori
ginated with Governor Morton. of Indiana, will
be carried out with other brigades, so far as is prac
ticable."
COLORED Tnoora.—The prospect in Tennessee is
favoi able for obtaining a considerable lnorease to
this corpiof the army. The first week of reoculting
produced one regiment, and it is thought that nine
more can be obtained from that State alone. In
General Banks' department the number offering is
large, beyond the present supply of good officers.
In regard to General Wild's brigade, in North Caro
lina, we have no recent information. Two regiments
have been recruited in Washington, two in
more, two in Philadelphia and anotheftommenced,
and one in Ohio;
if the Government shall furnish good officers,
these troops will soon be efficient not only for gar
rison and picket duty, but for service in the field,
and will afford great relief to our Northern soldiers,
besides lessening the requirements for reinforce
ments from the Northern States.
THE Reuel. Jonurtar.,e, which, like the Richmond
Examinee, have stood up yelp boldly against many
measures of.Telferstn Davis' pretended Government,
are, nevertheless, pointed and firm in their denufficia
tions of all efforts towards peace. In Georgia, in
North Carolina, in Alabama, and in Virginia, the
measures which have looked to that end have- put
the leading moderate journals in a tierce rage, as
though the mere thought of peace were rankest
treason. From such a feeling we have little to
hope in . the way. of conciliation. On the other
hand, the Raleigh Standard acknowledges its motive
to be simple necessity. It sues: for peace because it
is convinced success is impossible ; and from suet: a
feeling we may hope much. Plainly, then, our duty
lies along the line of vigorous war, to a sumeessful
peace.

TDB RICHMOND DISPATCH ON NORTH CAROLI-'
D.q.A.xs.—Ttie North Carolinians use the habeas cor
pus to lid their home guards of the unpleasant work
of bunting up deserters, which provokes the Rich
mond Dispatch to say "We begin to be tired of
the habeas corpus ; it is the great organ and engine
of every sort of skulking, disaffection, and treason.
By it are obtained fraudulent discharges from the
army, summary enlargement of spies, traitors, and

some few lawyers, and these lawyers themselves

Nobody will be surprised that the habeas corpus is

A Catholic Review on Slavery.
In an article 9n the " Return Of the Rebel Stater,"
lirotimson's Review for October sap
We have urged the abolition of slavery, and, all
far as practicable, its perpetual exclusion from the
United States, for reasons of stale, and chiefly as
necessary to the future internal and external secu
rity of the Republic. We have in no instance ta
ken the ground of the Abolitionists, and we have
refrained from doing so partly because we do not
wholly agree withthem, and partly in deference to
the passions and prejudices of our countrymen.
But it is by no means improper for a Statesman to
reflect that slavery it A Ain on the part of the nation
that, having-the power to remove it, authorizes, or
tolerates, or connives at its existence ; and that as
nations have no future life, national sins are and
mast be punished in this world.
Our indifference to the wrong done by slavery,
both to the slave and to his master, has already been
visited upon our nation with one of the most formi
dable civil wais that history records; and it will not
render the great Arbiter of nations less disposed to
smile on our patriotic efforts, and to give success to
Our arms, if he sees us resolved to put away the evil
of, our doings, to remember his poor, to raise up the
bowed down; to help the helpless, and to set the
captive free.
The Government has now the right under the
Constitution, to wipe cut from our national es
cutchren the foul stain of slavery ; and if it refuses,
or if the factious Bpi; it, the bitter prejudice, or the
cold-hearted selfishness of the people prevent it
from doing so, what right have we either to expect
or to ask God to give us success in the - field, or to en
dow us with wisdom in council to defeat the machi
nations of our enemies? He fights in vain who
Bents against an offended God, or without the Lord
on his side. His very victories are defeats, and his
triumphs are failures and death.
He is thrice armed who has his quarrel just; and
ours can hardly be called just, if we are resolved not
to use the victory we may win, to remove from our
midst that grossest outrage man can summit against
humanity, negiv slavery. We own that even on
moral and religious grounds, we should fear that we
had taken no security for the future, if we suffered
slavery, to be se-established anywhere within the
American Union. We are not in the secrets of the
Government; but we are confident it has no inters•
lion of iestoring any seceded State to the:Union as
a slavfholaing State, or without having given a
constitutional pledge to abolish it.

REV, FATHER FABER, D. D., THE DISTINGUISH
ED ENGLISH CATHOLIC WRITHE AND PREACHER.—
We announced in our second edition on Saturday
the death of the Rev. Frederic William Faber, D.
D., Superior of the Oratory at Biompton, the most
.distinguished of the Anglican converts to the Catho
lic faith, alter Dr. Newman: Dr. Faber bad been ill
since May teat, hie. disease being morbue brighttt,
and for a long time his life had been despaired of.
He died at live minutes past seven oa Saturday
meaning, after receiving the last sacraments, which
hie communion enjoins. Frederic William Faber
was born in 1814 and was the son of the solicitor of
the. Bishop of Durham, who was appointed judge or
assessor of the Bishop's Court for the Palatinate,
and died more than twenty years ago. His brothers .
ate, Colonel Faber, who is serving with his regiment
in India; the Rev. Francis Faber, B. D., late Fellow
of Magdalen College, Oxford, rector of Saunderton,
near Prince'a Riaborough ; and Mr. Henry Faber, a
barrister, at Stockton. on-Tees. His uncle was the
celebrated George Stanley Faber, B. D., the author
of the works on prophecy. Frederic Faber was edu
cated at Harrow School, and was sent thence to Uni
versity CollegeiOxford, where he obtained a echo
'arab*.
r. Faber had, early in his university career;
steepled high church opinions. In 1838 he published
a wear called "The Ancient Things of the Church
of England." When travelling, in 1842, he had many
conversations with Italian priests and strangers
spout the Mess, ceremonies, and doctrines of the Oa
lholic Church, and in publishing an account of
"Sights and Thoughts in Foreign Churches," dedi
cated to the poet Wordsworth, he took for a motto
the well-known refrain of the shipherd's song in the
Campagn a. He said that he had long been in doubt
as to tke orthodoxy of Anglicanism, and his excuse
for anointing then in anAnglies.n church was that he
had -"only delivered old sermons, written and
preached in 1831 and 1838 He had visited less se
dulously' in his parish, and he had stated hie doubts
to persons who came to confess him."
On November 1701, 1854, he was received into the
Catholic Church by Dr. Wareing, Vicar Apostolic of
the; northern district, at St. Felix chapel, North
ampton. Mr Faber was accompanied in his efts;
Mon by Mr. T. F. Knox, B. A., member of a' noble
Irish family, who had, a year or two before, taken a
distinguished degree at Cambridge, and would, in all
probability, have obtained a fellowship at Trinity.
Dr. Faber is well known as a writer, hut it may
not generally be remembered that twenty. five years
ago he was considered one of the most , graceful and
charming of young poets. The " Cherwell Water
Lily," and other poems, was a most popular book
in the early days of Oxford high ehurehiam. The
author's friendship with the poet Wordsworth may
account for his enthusiastic affection for the moun
tain and lake scenery of Cumberland and Westmore
land—Keswick, .Longwrigg, Griesdale, Tarn, &e.
His intense love for Oxford, his description of Ox
ford in apring, and of St. Mary's by night, may take
high rank among the poetical triumphs of the nine.
teenth century. One or two of hiS ,peemß are ad
-dressed to-Lord-John - Manners, his fellow-traveller
and most intimate friend, to whose- "soups heredi
tary gentleness," am well as to the " blaze and-splen
dor of hie bo3 hood " the poet bears a warm testi.
irony. . .
Dr. Faber's accomplishmeata, his administrative
tact, his brilliant conversational powers, his unfel4
fag good temper and geniality, had brought round
him a hand of devoted and attached friends, who at
tended him day and night during his painful illness,
and now bitterly lament hla death.
A NEW SCANDINAVIAN ALLIANCE.—_—% antici
pation of a Germanic attack upon Denmark, a Scan
dinavian alliance, of formidable strength, is said to
have been formed. From Stockholm we learn that a
COMMil3iioil of naval officers and engineers belonging
to-Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, is deliberating in
that capital on measures for combined station, in the
event of Denmark being assailed. A compact and
uniformly equippedlie.et of fast mailers is one oftthe
suggestions, the command to be given to Prince
Oscar, brother to the Icing of Sweden, and „admi t
rat of the Swedish fleet. These preparations are,
judicious, but we do not anticipate ;that they,
will be called into play. We calculate on the
well•known sluggishness of the German charac
ter, and, more still, on the isolated and almost
helpless prostration- in the confederation to
which Prussia has been reduced- by the imbecility
of her king and the tyranny and shOrt-sightednesa
of the existing cabinet. The pictures which reaeh
this country of the way in which the king is lite
rally kept a prisoner in his own palace by the crea
tures about him, called ministers, is a melancholy
commentary on human greatness reduced : to thelast
stage of degradation. In the present temper of the
Pi Deafens any attempt on Denmark may seem fib.
surd, but there is really no saying what folly may
be perpetrated by men in the position of Bismark
and his colleagues.

Incidents and 'Humors of the Elections.
THREE GRAND MISTAKES.--A long, lengthy, tall,
extended, thin, discouraged, cold-looking individual
was discovered this morning, standing on the steps
of his hotel, looking as woe-begone as if he had just
heard of the capture of a slave-ship, (freighted with
black bodies, bringing souls to 'this country to be
converted, the bodies to be returned to Africa at the
cost of the Colonization Society), or as if he didn't
know where he was to collect money for the Coloni
zation Society to pay his next board bill. He had a
morning paper. Pulling out his spectacles, he care
fully wiped them ; put them on ; couldn't see any
thing. Be rubbed his spectacles again. Evidently
his vision viaa disturbed—somethinythat he wished
to see was not visible to the naked eye. It might have
been " Vallandigham's election by the peop/e of Ohio,
by 50,000 majority," as prophesied by EAton, W. W.
He couldn't see it. Again he rubbed his glasses, and
stretching his long neck over the newspaper, die,
tinotly read as follows:

WHY THE VOTE AGAINST VALLANDIGEAM WAS
Tom LAROBIt..--" Tell the people of Ohio," said
General Garfield, before the election ,"that the vote
for Brough inflate Army of the Cumberland will be
smaller than it would have been had not the friends
of Mr. Vallandigham killed off some thousands of
our Ohio boys."
- A QUEER KIND OF DIVOII.OI3.—In his speech in
Congress, January 14, 1863, C. L. Vallandigham
said : "Believe ice, and accept it as you did not the
solemn warnings or years past, the day which divides
the North from the South, that self-same day des
crees eternal divorce between the West and the
East" Maine and Ohio still stand side by side, and
have won the distinction of being first to bruise the
head of the serpent who hissed out this lying pro.
peep.
TEE Ex.aomion ix Orrim—Our returns from the
State are given in our telegraph column as we re.
eeived them. The result is so decided that we have
not thought it worth while to put them into tabular
shape this morning. The mejoiity for Brough on
the home vote will exceed 50,000, and may reach
10,000. The soldiers' vote will swell Brough's ma
jority to 100,000 or over. The Legislature will be
Union by an overwhelming majority. The Union
men have carried nearly every county in the State,
thus seeming nearly all the county offices. The
Copperheads are defeated utterly. They e k re crushed.
The people have spewed them out, of their mouths.
—Cincinnati Gazette,
A SENSIELE VIEW OP BELLIGERENT
Ciamageran, a French writer of distinction on
questions of political economy, was delivered of the
following sound sentiments at one of the sessions of
the Social Scientific Congress recently held in Ghent.
His repiarks have a direct bearing upon the ques
tions of international law now at issue between
the United States and Great Britain, and are worthy
of the careful consideration of those in authority :
" What should be the criterion? Hitherto it has
been the fact which has- given birth to the right.
If the insurrection lasts, the insurgents become
belligerents—that is, by the fact. It is time to sub
stitute for thin justice and right. These are the
principles : First, there must be oppression, and the
oppression must be ma:ideated by the protests of
the Oppressed,. who must have - exhausted pacific
means. Out of these principles there is injustice
and anarchy.
" Present events afford us what the English call an
illustration of these principles. In America we
see a group of men, the proprietors of slaves, rise
against the established Government. They have
been recognized as belligerents. Is the recognition
right ? No. The South enjoyed all possible liberty.
If it had complaints to make it had every means of
bringing them forward. moreover ' It had a con
siderable share of power. And yet it had recourse
to war without employing any pacific means, and
rose in order that it might maintain the right of
oppressing the blacks. Not that that right was,
disputed, but because - the chief magistrate of the
country bad an opinion opposed toit. These are the
people whom France and England have recognized
as belligerents.
• " We are justified, therefore, in saying that, if these
two nations are at the head of civilization, their
Governments are sometimes in . the rear. The mo
tive of France may be divined—it is mistrust of
liberty. In England a noble sight has been seen;
the meetings of workingmen, who, in spite of the
dearth of cotton, have repelled the slavery men.
That is a great contrast with the acts of the Go
vernment., In another quarter of the world some•
thing very different is recurring. Poland, an ancient
nation, has been divided by an act of brigandage ; it
has been oppressed by the powerful. Have the peo
ple submitted? Never. They have unceasingly
protested. They have risen again, and for what
cause? To retain their sons in the midst of them.
Here, then, are belligerents, if ever there were any.
And yet France and England have-not recognized
them. In the name of right we protest."
Out DUTY IN THE. W Alt.—Conoluding an elo
quent spec*: in the Convention which renominated
Governor Andrew, Hon. Richard H. Dana, said:
Our duty to the country is, in my judgment, to
have a short and simple creed. That creed is to
stand by the Administration in prosecuting We war
to the final extinction of the rebellion, and to make
no political concessions to rebels in arms. On this
we can unite the people—all but the few I have re
ferred to, who never will sustain the war—for the
people do not believe, and cannot be made to be.
that their liberties are in danger.
The questions of modes and means and final settle.
ment, and the doctrines on which they rest, should
be matter for reflection and study—to some extent
of publio discussion, but not made in advance con
ditions of loyal co•operaticn, and even in their
public discussion we may well use , prudence and
self-restraint. Our duty; to•others is to do that
which in our most solemn supplications we ask may
be done for us-tot strengthen those who stand, to
comfort and help the weak•hearted, to raise up those
Who fall, in the hope that thus, at last, Satan may
be beaten down under our feet. While the war
lasts, let us have, if it be possible, one heart, one
voice, and one hand. ;
. PETLADELFEIA FALL RACE MEETING.—
If any opinion can be formed - of the prospect of the
race meeting, which is to commence over the Suffolk-
Park Course on Tuesday, 20th init., by the success
which attended the late affair at.Paterson, - N.J.,
last week, ours will, indeed, be a magnificentslimax.
In addition to the score of thoroughbreds *Welk
have, for the past two weeks, been in daily exercise'
for the coming:events, all the rivals. from the late
terrific battlefield will be with us, numbering, in all,
about fifty high.mettled racers. • A. glance at the ad
vertising columns will inform the uninformed of the
character of the sport which is promised. The two
prominent events of the first day are looked forward
to with much interest. The amount of money
staked, and the high character and standing of the
contracting parties, are guarantees of a brilliant
affair. The excitement is general, and pelt/Aden all,

The Board was permanently organized by the se

President—Samuel P. Hancock.
Clerks—L. Theo. Paling, William C. Zane.
Doorkeeper—George Kemerer.
IYlesrenger—James Ware.
The officers were sworn in by Alderman Battler.
In some of the wards tbe return fudges were either
not aware that the meeting was to be held to-day,
or they neglected their duties by absenting them
selves. Of course, this caused a delay in counting
the vote. , The returns presented by those present
were called off; and then the Board took a recess
until ten o'olook this morning.
FR.AN XL IN, INSTITUTE.—The regular
monthly meeting of the Franklin Institute was held
at their Hall last evening.
Mr. Leiter exhibited his improved watertilter,
which consists of an upright tubular case, in the
upper end of which is -a bucket, with a perforated
bot tom, which contains the filtering material through
which the water must pass as it ascends, the heavy
particles of dirt falling to the bottom of the case be
low the intetpipe, where - they can be drawn off at
Intervals. The inlet pipe is made tangental to the
case, so that the water shall acquire such a rotating
motion as will effectually remove any particles of
matter which may adhere to the inner side of the
case.-
Henry exhibited Mr. Vander Wegdes' gad
alarm. In this apparatus a vertical tube, open at
both ends, has a gas burner near each end, a small
jet of gas from the upper burner being constantly
burning. The cook admitting the gee to the lower
burner is so connected to a door or shutter, that
when the latter is opened the gee will flow from the
burner, ascend through•the tube, and be lit by the jet
at the upper end, when the combustion of the gas
within the tube will produce a loud, continuous
sound, resembling that of a steam whistle.
!Yr'', Howson, president of the committee on
meetings, exhibited T. Morrie, Perot, I & Co's
improved army mess chest. The case is made of
convenient size for handling and transportation, and
contains a sheet-iron stove, with several feet of pipe.
Within the stove are packed some 90 differen t pieces
of kitchen-ware, including plates, knives, etc.,suit],
dent for a mess of a dozen men. All the artices are
well made, and not reduced in size in order to obtain
room for packing. The chest contains several large
cans for butter, Lugar, etc. A somewhat similar
chest, without the stove, made by the same firm,
was also exhibited. In this are two tripods, with a
connecting rod, on which articles may be hung to
cook, over the fire. Either of the chests must prove
invaluable to the medical department, for which
they are Intended, although they would answer
equally well for officers, emigrants, and others.
Mr. Howson explained, by means of a large
model, the optical illusion generally known as Prof.
Pepper's ghost.
Mr. H. remarked that the model. before the meet
ing was the result of several experiments prompted
by information derived from various sources, and
that he believed it to be identical in principle with
the apparatus patented by Professor Pepper. - The
model consists of a large sheet of glass, supported
on a frame, the upper edge of the glass leaning
toward the audience. On an inclined platform below
the lower edge, in front of the glass, are placed the
objects to be reflected by the glass, a bright light
being thrown on the objects by a reflector.
Several plaster casts and other objects were placed
on the platform, and the reflection appeared quite as
distinct in every respect as the originals, although
apparently suspended in mid air, and occupying an
indefinite position in respect to the distance from
the spectators. •
Mr. H. remarked that it was prestionable whether
many of the well-authenticated miracles of the mid
dle ages were not produced by some such a device ;
and that many of the apparitions which have ap
peared to excited enthusiasts in more modern times
are probably due to similar causes.
Lieutenant Colonel F. D. Hart's improved shell
was exhibited by the inventor. The body of the
shell is elongated, of east iron, surrounded by ver
tical strips firmly secured to the shell, but which,
when the latter explodes, readily separate, thus in
suring a more perfect division of the parts, and a
consequent more destructive effect. Springer &
Wejtve z ptented letter-box wrw exhibited; also,
Irwin's patented clot;::!" washing /34Aine.
Mr. John 0 - ystrom exhibiteu some . !a o tiall Or

which he called the parabolic construction.

engine, which has been built by James Millholland,
Esq , for the Reading Railroad Company. This
engine, which weighs over 100,000 lbs., it is sup
posed will be able to push four hundred cars, at one
time, on a level.
STREET AND OTHER SCENES.—On Wed
nesday afternoon, as the colored. regiment _passed
down Chestnut, on their way-to assist in equelching
the rebellion, they were cheered as they pushed on
the'column. Standing in front of &newspaper office
on tharthoroughfare, just below- Fifth street, was a
large crowd 01 individuals. This assemblage opened,
and the " Americans of African descent" marched
through. There were slight demonstrations of a
lawless character manifested by some of the, more
ignorant of-the opening crowd, but the rear guard of
the soldiers, bristling with fixed bayonets, bore
aloft, as their weapons pointed heavenward, a galu
tark admonition. At this stage of the proceedings
a gentleman, who hsd seen service on the battle-field,
stepped into the street , and, raining his hands above
hishead, commenced clapping his hands. The erfect
was catching. for instantly a large number of others
did the same thing. Someone proposed three cheers
for Governor Andrew G. Curtin. This was re
sponded to with a mighty shout, in which the regi
ment joined.
But just as the proposition was made tb cheer for
the Governor, some one in the already opened
crowd proposed three cheers for Woodward. The
result was, that all his friends joined in on that.
Thus, it will be observed, all on both sides, white
and black, mingled their cheers together. At this
moment a couple of gentlemen emanated from an
eating house. One said to the other, "Isn't that
glorious ! what an effect the election of Governor
Curtin has had." "See." said he "behold the Cop
perheads even cheering the black regi ment P' He made
a slight mistake, however, yet the joke is worth re
m Mtg. The regiment passed on. There was "no-
body hurt."
The crowd in front of the newspaper office still
angered until near the midnight hour. We mingled
with it considerably, accepting, as our admonition,
Sirpheno's advice to Trinculo in Shakapeare's "Tem
pest." It was wonderful to watch the fluctuation
of the political theimometer—now up, now down,
then down and up again.. Various, indeed, were the
sayings in the crowd. - -
"I wonder if Woodward is elected']" a philoso
phical individuailwould inquire.
" Of course he is—the Age says so."
"Let's give him three cheers." The cheers were
given.
"It's all right !" shouted a rotund red-faced Irish
man of the Sixth ward. "Cap Dunevan says that
Wudward rays he's elated, and the nagurs is de
leted."
Three cheers were given for that.
1 . Why the divil don't ye luminate yer office fur
IVlistber Woodward I" shouted out a stout son of the
Emerald Isle on the sidewalk. The crowd was now
seized with a spasm of galvanism, and some cheers
wet e given.
-
"What news have they got 1" said several gentle
men inquiringly. '" Let's go down to The Press
c face." Away they started.
"Have ye heerd from °laden," shouted out a
man who bad a wager staked on the result. This
inquiry was directed to a sick-looking Democrat,
who bad just poked his head out of the second•story
window as if gasping for fresh air.
" What does (laden say l" again Shouted the
man.
There was no reaponse from the. protruded head—.
it went in.
Thus things wee kept en for hour.
At one time we lentereo the, Age office - ; ascended
to the conclave in the second story; they were
grouped mound; a gloom seemed to settle on them;
they had no won s of comfort; they had no com
forter; the ghost of Democracy did not even appear
among them. A more sad, forlorn•looking spectacle
we had not seen for some time.
"Telegraph despatch " was announced by a boy,
who hsetil3 entered with a sheet of Ulnae paper in.
" Good --:!" exclaimed a cadaverouselooking gen
tleman, "Indiana gives 400 more for Curtin."
"The —it does; oh, we're licked. What the
-- matter ; d= the telegraph ; here, boy, don't
bring any more such news like that."
Indiana fell like a wet blanket on the party; it
seemed to cover in oblivion all hope. They became
sick at heart, A fat gentleman, with a gold. headed
cane, octagon shape, simply arose, gave a sort of
grunt, and said in husky sepultural tones,
going home-" About half past ten o'clock the mob
in front of the office seemed to be laboring under a
sort of hallucination or infatuation. They would
have it Judge Woodward was elected by 7.500 ma
jority. It was passing strange, indeed. On the
strength of this feeling, a band was procured to se•
renade the Judge because of his election as Go
vernor.
They proceeded along Chestnut street. Near
Seventh, they took the advice of - a philosophical
Democrat, on his way from the Continental to the
Age office. The band proceeded no further. Toe
cornet was quiet ; the double•bass horns did not
In ay out one sonorous sound ; nor did the trombone
pump in a note of time; the cymbals were quiet, and
the snare drum awakened "nary," a rattle. The
crowd separated, and the sold party went home to
dream, reminding us of a line from Longfellow—
" Things are not what they seem."
Yesterday the crowd in front of the Age office was
rensibly diminished ; nor was it so much excited.-
Hope was banished at ten o'clock in the morning.
In the afternoon some returns from counties that
bad not been heard from before were received.. They
increased the vote of Governor Andrew G. Curtin,
and scattered the crowd as effectually as a regiment
of police officers.

self, as every one knows, is an elegant establish
ment, fitted out and furnished in the very best style
for the accommodation of all 'sorts and conditions of
appetites-and palates. Messrs. Woodworth .& Wal
ton have exerted themselves to their utmost, and
have won an unequivocal success. Through their
endeavors The New Tontine has become a name syno
nyinous with all that is good to eat and drink, and
the vicinity of Seventh and Chestnut streets has be
come a quarter wheregentlemen will be very glad to
congregate. Whether the suitability of position, or
the fine structure itself, or the complete manner
in which every detail is furnished, Is considered,
this new saloon must be placed in the front rank of
such institutions. The entrance hall is in itself an
invitation to the rest of the building. It is elegantly
fitted up, and any.who have visited it.will not need
to be reminded of the pure liquors, cigars of the
best brand, the, variety of game, and all the et
ceteras which are included in a first-class estab.
liabment, to be found there. The promptitude with
which orders are executed and visitors waited
upon, and the courtesy which marks the conduct of
every atlachE of this truly elegant establishment, are
such as every visitor remarks and dwells upon with
pleasure. Even were the saloon and its appoint
meets less elegant, the very manner in which the
establishment is conducted would be a gratuitous
levitation to call again, and such an invitation as
an intelligent and luxury-loving citizen would not
forget nor neglect.

IdEs. A. D. JONES' LECTURES.—We do
not hesitate, from all we can learn from some of our
lady friends, to say to the ladies of this city—go to

ding M. E. Church, corner Sixteenth and Coates,

THE FINE Anms.—A knowledge of the
fine arts may be said to open a sixth sense upon
every one who successfully cultivates them. The
savage eats bin food and falls asleep ; the man of
more wealth does little more ; but to those who
seek pleasure in cultivating a taste for the fine arts,
the pleasures of sense will appear but subordinates
to the pleasure experienced in viewing the beautiful
clothing manufactured and sold at the Fashionable
Emporiurn of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut
street, where the ifneat stock of fall
_goods in the
country is now on hand.
TnE FAsnioNs.—The fashions for ladies'
dresses are as whimsical as their wearers. Bennetts
bare had n"reef > 2 taken in them, and hoops have
sustained a partial collapse. Sad colors (except
red) are the rage, and artificial flowers are made of
leather, or leather-colored materials. While the
ladies display these eccentricities, the gentlemen ad
here to common sense and first principles, and dress
judiciously, elegantly, wisely, and economically in
apparel procured at The Brown Stone Clothing Han.
of Rockhill Sc. Wilson, Nos. 803 and 601 Chestnut
street, above Sixth.

treat themselves to a new suit of Clothing at
