PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1863. Ch,t4 Vrtss. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1863. Bishop Colenso's Case. Every one has heard of Bishop COLENSO'S case, we may presume. He was ordained first Bishop of Natal, in South Africa, in the • year 1853, and the literary fruit of his ten years' occupancy of that see, is a book, al ready in two volumes, (more being pro mised), which he calls " The. Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically Examined," written for the express purpose of proving that the Pentateuch, which is a general name for the first,five books of the Bible, com monly accepted - as the Mosaic records, is so largely unhistorical, to use his own words, " that the narrative, whatever' may be its value and meaning, cannot be ,regarded as historically true." The first part of this work appeared early in the present year, and a - second part was recently published. There is something, so startling in the fact that a Christian Bishop, sent out to convert the Zulu-zulu - savages, should have -his- belief in the word of God so shaken by their doubts, suggestions, and questions, that he thought it his duty to denounce important parts of the Bible as untrue, that we may be allowed to state who this " Right Reverend Father in God, the Lord Bishop of Natal," (such is his dignified title), really is, and in what position he now stands. Joan WILLIAM COLENSO, born at St.-Aus tell, Cornwall, (at or near which place JOHN CONCH ADAMS, Professor of Astronomy in the University of Cambridge, and also our respected fellow-townsman, Jomis GRIOG, Esq.; 'also first saw the light,) is son of a gentleman who, for many years, held alucra . tive office in the Duchy of Cornwall He was educated, at Cambridge, where his scholarship won him a fellowship; gradu ated B. A. in 1836, where he was second Wrangler and Sinurn's prizeman ; M. A. in 1839; D. D. in 1853, when made .Bishop,;' was fellow of St. John's. College from 1837 to 1842; mathematical master of Harrow School from 1838 to 1842 ; rector of Emmett St. Mary, Norfolk, from 1846 to 1858 ; and was consecrated to the ne wly formed Bishopric of Natal, on the south east coast of Africa, in the latter year. He has written the " Elements of Algebra," and other standard educational works. As a parish priest, in a rural part of. England, he bore an= excellent character, being an earnest, pious man, teaching the truth as much - by his life as by his sermons. For the last twelve months he has been in England, on leave of absence from his diocese, and, did the English law and the discipline of the Anglican Church permit, he would never be allowed to return, episco pally, to Natal.' It is startling to find a Christian bishop seriously impugning-the historical truth of a considerable portion of the historical details contained in the Bible ; doing this in sober sadness ; lamenting, while he struck the ' blow, that his conscientious and religious convictions made him do this ; taking infi nite pains to unsettle belief in the records of Holy Writ ; and, at the same time, continu ing Bishop of Natal. In other words, a clergyman who was consecrated to teach the Word of God assails it as of little more value than a historical romance, but declines relinquishing the salary now paid to him for duties which he does not and can not per form That a Christian bishop should attack the authenticity of the historical details of the Bible is truly anomalous. THOMAS PAINE did it openly, as the avowed disbeliever of Revelation; Bishop COLENSO does it, he says, on' conviction, and his position as a prelate makes his arrow a hundred times more poisonous than that of PAINE. The English hierarchy, shocked at their right reverend brother's lapse into disbelief, sternly forbade him to preach in any pulpit under their control, and have vainly en deavored to bring him under the examina tion, censure, and sentence of the Ecclesias tical Courts in London. But it appears that he is beyond its jurisdiction, and it is doubt ful whether there is any law that can reach him. The Bishop of Capetown, who claims to be his metropolitan, has taken the matter up, and Dr. COLEYS() hasibeen duly cited to appear on the 17th of November next in the vestry of the Cathedral Church of St. George, Capetown, to answer charges of " false, strange, and erroneous doctrine and teaching," preferred against him by the Dean of _Capetown, the Archdeacon of-Gra ham's Town, and the Archdeacon of George. The charges are founded partly upon pas sages selected from the Bishop's translation of the Epitle to the Romans,. and partly upon passages taken from his subsequent work upon the Pentateuch. The citation concludes with a notice that, if the -Bishop makes default in appearing,- the Bishop of Capetown, as a metropolitan, with the ad vice and assistance of such of the suffragan bishops of the province as can be conve niently called together, will nevertheless hear and investigate the charges so pre ferred, and proceed to final adjudication thereon. • 1863. When the Bishopric of Capetown was founded, in 1847, it included the whole of the Cape of Good Hope, Port Natal, and St. Helena, but, in 1853, it was confined to the Western districts, with the island of St. Helena, and made metropolitan in juris diction, while two new dioceses (Graham's Town and Natal) were cut off and made suffragans. Thus constituted Metropolitan, the Bishop of Capetown determined, a few years ago, to exercise the functions, an ecclesiastical nominal jurisdiction within his diocese. There was a Rev. WrmitAar LONG, one of his clergy, who refia§ed to recognize a Colonial Synod to which the Bishop of Capetown had summoned him. First sus pended; and finally deprived by the Bishop, Mr. LONG appealed to the Privy Council of England: The judgment of the Court, de livered,.by Lord Kirictspowx, on the 24th June, wee wholly in favor of Mr. LONG, and the Bishop of. Capetown was ordered to restore him to his parish and to pay all .the costs of the suit and of the appeal —a pecuniary mulct probably equal in amount , to the episcopal revenue for two years. At the conclusionof the judgment a hint was'given that some assistance as to these costs might possibly be given to the Bishop out of the, public purse, because "he had, been embarrassed in a great measure by the doubtful state of the law ; and by the cir cumstance that he, not without some reason, considered the letters-patent under which he acted to`confer on him an authority which, at the time when he acted under them, her Majesty had no authority to grant ; and that, either. in this or some other suit, it was im portant to the interest of the colony genefal ly, and especially of the members of the Church' of England within it, that the many question§ which have arisen in this case should, as far as possible, be set at rest." Since that judgment, no step has been taken to render the law less doubtful, or to invest the Bishop of Capetown with more power than before. The question then arises : has hie Lordship any legal right to deal with Bishop °MEMO'S heresy ? The Bishop of Capetown issued the cita tion to Bishop COVENI3O, on the 18th of May, last,, six weeks before the Judgment of the Privy Council, in Mr. LONG'S case, had declared his, want of ecclesiastical jurisdic-, Lion. Had he, been aware, In May, of the disqualifying—judgment to be delivereffin June, it is probable that the:.Bishop of Capetown would not have assumed the right to deal with 'Bishop Commo. Should he proceed to trial of the case; it will be'in the teeth the judgment' against him, and should he be finally cast, it is unlikely that the,,Privy Council would a second time Bug g* that his costs be paid out of the public "• • .4.vi:*..caloq a§ . Orir,'l4o"zw i e. case, the judgmeut atlirma ~ , :ltf`o that the Church of England in the Colonies is merely a voluntary association. The Bishops of Natal and Graham's Town. seve rally accepted and acted upon letters patent from Queen VICTORIA ' , and these patents declare that they shall be " subject and sub ordinate" to the Bishop of Capetown, in the same manner as any Bishop of any Bee within the Archbishop of Canterbury is un der the authority of the Archbishop of Can terbury. But what is the authority in Eng land of a metropolitan over a suffragan bishop has never been judicially considered since the passing of the Church Discipline Act of 1840, and that law contains no pro . wszons whatever for any proceeding against a bishop. Therefore, as the law now stands, in the British Colonies as well as in England, if a bishop write and publish a book denying the historical truth of a large part of the Bible, no ecclesiastical court can proceed against him. Therefore, also, Bishop CO LENS° cannot be brought to task for Ms heresy, nor removed from the episcopal po sition which he now most inconsistently and unworthily continues to occupy. - "We notice in a Cape newspaper, that the clergy: of the diocese of Natal have sent an address to Dr. COLENBO, remonstrating with him for not having resigned his epis copal chtrge, asd protesting against being supposed to participate in his disbelief in Biblical matters. This is the latest phase of, this singular case, and we have given its details because no other American paper has placed them before the public, and also because all who believe in the Bible, Jews as well as Chris tians, may desire to know how English church- law deals with 'those who publicly assail the "truth of the Word of God. After all, perhaps the common law may take hold of Bishop COLENBO for blasphemy. The most sumptuous publication that the War has produced is a volume, of 611 pages royal octavo, entitled "Annals of the Army of the Cunt berland," and liberally. illustrated with steel -por traits, maps, wood 'engravings, etc. The contents of this book are varied. There are biographies of officers, with portraits engraved on steel ; accounts Of departments; narratives of expeditions and bat tles ; anecdotes, recollections, bits of poetry ; official reports 'of the Battle .of Stone River ; an amusing police record of smugglers, spies, and scamps—in short, a full, true, and particular account of what a great army, well commanded, was able to do in the Valley of the Cumberland. Now that its leader, the gallant Roseanne, with the brave fellowofficers whom he may be said to have trained, is actively employed against " thk. insolent foe" elsewhere, this Cumberland Valley record has increased in terest—especially as many believe that Rumens may perhaps be so fortunate as to close the war with victory. Independent of the biographical and historical portions of this volume, and the amusing and some times thrilling incidents related in the Police Record, the description, minute, but not tiresome, of each department will enable the civilian to understand, as well 'as if he were on the spot, what the organi zation of an army in actual service really is. There are abont a dozen different departments, all of which must work together, and must work well, to produce that unity which is requisite for success in the field. All is here explained, so that "he who runs may read." The literary execution of the volume is re spectable. .0f course, there is an almost unavoid able tendency to pile up, superlatives, in the lives of the officers, but the simple narrative of events is clear Audi plain, and the account of the battle of Stone River (near idurfreesboro, Tennessee), on the last day , Of 1862 and the two opening days of 1861, is a model of terseness and accuracy. The steel engravings are numerous. The frontis piece shoWs us General Rosecrane. Then likenesses of his staff are grouped on one plate; and the other general officers, each with his staff, are similarly exhibited:: There are 74 of these portraits in all, and the groups are embellished with pretty vignettes illustrative of incidents in the war. There are nine wood.cuts, a cromo.lithographic map of the Battle of Stone River, several diagrams showing the posi tion of troops, and a steel plate of a monumental design to brave who soak to reel With all their coantry's wishes blessed.. " The volume,,piinted, bound, and published by J. B. Lippincott & 00., is creditable to "the trade" of Philadelphia. - This' aciount of the Cumberland campaign is but a contribution to the history of the whole war. There is 'now poblishing, by Harper Ss Brothers, in long qudto,lthe 'size of Harper's Week 4,) a " Picto rial History of War," carefully compiled and largely illustrated with numerous first-olass wood-engrav• logs. Twelve pages, equal to sixty octavo pages; constitute each number of this work, and. about twenty-five engravings are in each part. At twenty. five cents a part, this is very cheap. We predict that, if completed within reasonable dimensions, (for, as the Greek said, "a great book, is a great evil,") this will be the popular. History of the War. Mr.. G. W. Childs, of this city, has engaged Mr Loosing to write an illustrated History of the Great Rebellion, on the plan of his " Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution," (published by Harper & Bioth ers,) and Mr. Loosing is busy on it, with pen and pencil. It will contain more than a thousand en gravings, all _expressly executed for its pages. Another war book, just announced by Mr. Childs, is " The Union Generals," containing biographies of all the generals of the Union army, whether dead or living, who have taken , part in the present contest. Some of the most eminent writers in the country are engaged upon it, and the book will contain about eighty steel-plate portraits of the most prominent generals, together with maps, plans of battle-fields,' fortifications, emblematic illustrations, ar.c. Thus we go on. Our gallant soldiers make the history that our able authors write.

Eaoh -volume consists of 828 pages. The opening article here is John Mason Good, and the concluding one is LabOarers. It took us six hours to go over this volume, to form an opinion, not by reading, but by inspection, of its comparative value. We marked over one hundred articles of decided superiority on leading subjects.- Every sub yet, of course, is treated of. The historical, scien tills, geographical, and artistioal articles, are the best. The biographical articles are more brief and less interesting thane those in Appleton's "New American Cyclopcedia." Still, they are sufficient for general reference, and the numerous woodcuts, as well ae a series of beauful maps, printed in colors, make Chambers' Encyclopedia attractive and useful. Of the second volume of "The Book of Days,' 'Mao published by Messrs. Chambers, at Edinburgh, and by Messrs. J. B. Lippincott here, four numbers (256 pages, royal 8v0.,) have been published. They' cover the days of the year from July 1 to - August 23, inclusive, and'may be truly= characterized as form log a splendid miscellany of popular antiquities, in- connection with the Calendar, including anecdote, biography and history, curiosities of literature, and oddities of human life and chareeter. There is a profusion of wood engravings in this work, many, of, them from scarce and curious originals.' Let us ex press a hope that, at the close of the second volume, which will finish the work, a copious index may be, given. We have experienced co much discomfort, and lost so much time in hunting, in the indexless' Bret volume; litir particular bits of information, which we recollected having seen there, that we very' advisedly.throw out this hint, pro Lon° public°, to the worthy and entfaprisin. publishers. Having commenced these notes upon new and handsome, as well as interesting and valuable new ; bOoks with an eulogium upon Messrs. Lippincott's "Army of the Cumberland," we had intended to close' it.with a notice of a charming volume juat lamed by our neighbors, Messrs. E. H.

The following remarkable article, from the Chat tanooga Rebel, October 9, will be read with interest : Upon reaching the Tennessee river from the field of Chickamauga, Rosecrans addressed his troops. ' Fellow soldiers," said he, "the object of our expe. dil ion was the possession of Chattanooga, and here We are." Brief, and to the point; forcible,; and adroit. Thus' far the campaign, whose mysterious surges are rolling above us, has no clearei, as it cer tainly cannot have a more laconic history. The few words of the Federal general illuminate the whole page as a ray from a dark lantern, and no man can close his eyes to the somewhat painful glare which they throw full upon him. -- " Not even General Bragg himself can contradict them, except with his sword, and such strokes as it may please Heaven to, send us through his hands in the few days of fair weather just before us. Unless we hasten to inake hay when the sun shines, the story as thus told, will hold good through all time; the spring will open untoward dangers to our arms ; the cause which now turns upon the pivot of its minks, will, drop like - a flower which has been un tended ; and the end must fade out of sight in a roll ing torrent of• disasters—in foga and gloom. God forbid it I "At present the case stands about in-this wise: We have lost the gate to Lower East Tennessee, the river; which was our base, and the facilities which these afforded for progressive movements into East Ten nessee and Kentucky.; We have gained a hand-to. hand fight; we have repelled a powerful invasion ; we have.preserved Georgia, and secured a command , tug position around the enemy. Rosecrans, on the other hand, has acquired all that we have lost! Ere has reached Chattanooga and fortified- it,-taken up the liver line as his base, and now prepares quietly to winter in his new quarters, leaving us, uncivilly out in the cold, to take care of ourselves as best we can or must. Physically, and to all appearances, in . the aggregate he is the gainer ; for, after the prisoners, standards, and artillery, taken at Chickamauga are counted, our victory is told, whilst our deficit, in the long MD total, glory included, does not make up for any results yet achieved. "In a word, we have lost ten or twelve thousand men -without gaining an equivalent in producing' territory.: The whole question, therefore, turns upon the situ ation, and what we will do with it. In military circles, it is generally believed that Rosecrans has blundered - into a position which, improved by an adversary, of genius, might be turned in three adroit movements to his eternal ruin. If this be so, and the movements speculated, but by no means ex plained,-aremade, the - victory of Chickamauga will be complete,•and the many lives there sacrificed will become as so many trophies3to &noble work. Sat if this opinion be false, and the movements suggested as possible fail to be made, and we continue to gaze' =listlessly from the bold knobs of Missionary Ridge upon the comfortable barracks of the blue varlets below, then may we tremble for the next campaign for as sure as there is any surety in the future, the spring of '64 must see us, far from the •borders of Georgia, or near the verge of destruction. Nail it to your door Post, men of the South, and refuse to be deluded into any other. belief Food and raiment .are our needs. We must have them. Kentucky and Middle Tennessee can only supply them. Bet ter give ulf the sea coast, better give up the South west, aye, better: give up - Richmond without a struggle, and win these, than lose the golden field, whose grain and wool- are out sole hope. The enemy has just one army too many in the field . for` us. We must crush this overplus ; we must gain one signal, Stonewall Jackson campaign. Destiny points the very place. Be Rosecrans the victim. Defeat him, pulverize him, run him to the Obio river, and then close the war with the.next. summer. And. howl Nothing easier.

CITY 'or' ATLANTA, ISLA.ITI3 .GREAT TM- Atlanta has a population of, twenty-six lhousand inhabitants, among whom is a liberal, sprinkling of Northern men, who are the most demonstrative and extreme Secessionists in the town. It is locatedin an elevated and salubrious section of the State, upon•the dividing line -in Fulton county, between the cotton-groWing,and - grain.produclng regions, and is three hundred and seven miles from Charleston, :three hundred; and ten miles frOm'Savannahi one hundred and seventy-live miles from Montgomery, Alabama, one hundred and thirty-six miles" from Chattanooga, three hundred and twelve miles' from Knoxville, and seven hundred and ninety- miles from Richmond. Four railroads communicate with Atlantla and forma junction . there—the Western and Atlantic, or Georgia State Railroad, the Georgia Railroad, the Macon and Western Railroad, and the Atlanta and Montgomery Railroad. _ . In the spring of 1860, John C. Calhoun, on his re. turn from the Commercial Convention at Memphis, stopped several days in Atlanta, and predicted then that it would be the -greatest inland city 'of the South, and - -at no distant day the capital of thd Southern Confederacy, the corner.stone:of which, he maintained, would be African slavery. Although the rebel capital is at present in Richmond, the public sqntiment of the South has already located it permanently at Atlanta; provided the Confederacy . , There are quarries of the very finest granite at Stone 'Mountains, sixteen,miles from Atlanta; on the Georgia Railroad, and the people of that city are determined, when" this cruel war - is over," to rear structures more magnificent than those of Greece orl Rome, tall- as the Tower of Babel, and more durable than the Pyramids. Atlanta is the great military ddpot of rebeldom, and it is here that the naval supplies are stored. Theie is an armory at Atlanta, a chemkal,labora tory, and a sword factory. Shells, Wind shot, siege. guns, field pieces and mountain howitzers, are cast, there. Percussion caps, torpedoes, cavalry saddles,, artillery harness, gun catriages, ambulances, army wagons, tents, and all the shoes and clothing for the; Western Department, are made' at' Atlanta. - The armory, turns out muskets of the Springfield pattern,: and rolling mills stretch the plates for the rebel iron-" clads. , Large .quantities of meat are packed there for the army. ' It may well be termed the most nourishing cityi in the Southern Confederacy, though the first house was built there as lately as 1845.

From the Rapidan From the Richmond Whig, Oot. 10.1 This is, probably, the last time we shall have oc casion -to use the above caption to , an army para graph, as there now seems to be no doubt of the fall ing back of Meader army toward Washington, and the advance of General Eee in pursuit. General Ewell crossed the Rapidan, according to report, several days ago, and the remainder of the army has, no doubt, moaned ere now. Our information is mea gre, but, from all that we can gather, an engagement between the two armies must soon take place, un less Meade takes a position in which it will be deem ed Inexpedient to attack him.

Oct. 10. ] Vicomte de St. Romain has been sent by the French Government to ours to negotiate for the ex portation of the tobacco bought for France by French agents. The .Confederate States Govern ment has at last consented to allow the tobacco to leave the country, provided the French Government will send its own vessels (or it. The latter will send Fiend' chips, accompanied by armed convoys. To this the United States Government objects in tote. Vicomte de St. Romain is now making his way to New York, to send the result of his mission, through the French consul, to the Emperor. The French frigates in New York are there on this errand. One of the most daring and Successful exploits of the present campaign was performed last week by Captain Wrn. 0. Moreau, of the Partisan Corps, with 35 men. They left Chattanooga on-the 16th ult., and were to proceed In the direction of Ring gold, to observe the enemy, and watch his move ments. In 'the meantime the battle came off, and the enemy, passing up in that direction, finally inter . cepted his communicationlvithSibley 9 a Ford, and he determined to reach Chattanooga by approaching it on this side the river. He soon found himself en vitonee by rebel troops, and determined to make his way through their entire camp. At the crossing of Chickamauga river he was challenged by the sentinel, to whom he replied that they were a part of Forrest's men on a secret expedition. and their purposes could not be made known. They made three attempts-- - to get down the mountain before they were successful. Reaching the infantry camps of the rebels the long roll was beaten, but the party dashed through, closely pursued by rebel cavalry, who were on their track. Finally' they approached our own lines, and then their troubles had but just begun, for our pickets, supposing they were ene mice, opened fire upon them in front, while the re bels poured their volleys into their rear. Finally our lines were reached with a loss of but four men, after theythad travelled twentyimiles within the ene my's lines. The nest having ,been disturbed, there was considerable cannonading for an hour after. ==! I saw this morning a copy of The Southern Con federacy of the 27th inst. In it they claim- they csptured 32 stand of colors, 43 pieces of artillery, 36,000 stand of small-arms, and 7,000 prisoners. They acmit a loss in killed and wounded of 12,000, hut say our entire loss will amoulat to 23,000; that 1,600 wounded were left behind in our re treat, and that there was nothing in the haver sacks of our men but corn bread. This is a sample of rebel exaggeration. Any one that knows anying about this army, knows that they have known nothing about corn oread in this campaign. Hard-tack has been the "stand. by," and to talk about our haversacks having nothing in but corn bread is simply absurd. Instead of forty-three pieces of artillery, our entire loos amounts to thirty four. So far from our losses amounting to Wow, they will scarcely reach my former estimate of 15,- 000, while the capture of small arms, of course, is exaggerated in propoition. Their estimate of wounded prisoners is not lar from the truth.—Tai Sure Correspondence. Airairs in the Territories. NEVADA.—The Nevada Journal says : "The exo dus to Nevada Territory continues as great as ever, the lateness of the season making no perceptible difference in the rush. Reese river is all the cry now. Humboldt, with its immense leads, seems to be forgotten, and the few quartz mills in it are de serted, and from every part of California and Ne vada Territory adventurers are wending their way to Lander county.

NEBRABICA.—The Omaha Weekly Nebraskian fur nishes us with a very lengthy statement made by Judge Cyrus Tater, from the scaffold upon which he was executed, on the 28th ult., about two miles from Omaha, on the spot where he was merged with murdering Isaac H.

He read his .statement"" in a:clee.r and distinct voice, and asserted- his innocence of the crime, and his entire ignorance of the whole trans action, with almost hie last breathy One of our citi zens was the strongest evidence against him, as he -avers to having purchased from Tator six yoke of cattle belonging, to the murdered man.: .Tator. vies ever having seen that witness till he was on trial for the murder. Tator is represented to have been successively a member of the bar in ; New-York State ; ajudge and member of the Legislature in Kansas • a Free miler there, a husband, and a - father. motive for the murder, it he were the guilty party, was the possession of Neff's property, a paltry sum of five or. six hundred dollars. Completion of the Great Organ in the Bos ton Music Ball. [Fi om tbe Boston Advertiser. ] The great organ of the Western World is nearly completed, and in a few nays we shall see the noble result of those wise plans which have cost so much deep thought, so much severe labor, and so large an expenditure since the time, - now ten years past, when the enterprise was first suggested by that ho norable Bostonian to whose constant care is greatly due this splendid fruition of the germ he planted and fostesed. We refer' to Dr. J.

Many of your borderers know what a pre-emption claim is. Another man, who lived upon the same claim with myself, together with four other men, armed with ~tbree revolvers, a Sharp's rifle, and an axe, came to my house, breathing oaths of vengeance against me. I met them at the fence; I beseeched them, ' unarmed, to commit no act of hostility. They ad- Nanced upon me; I returned to my . house, got ';a single barrel shot gun, (it -had been loaded several ,daym before that, with bird shot.) I met the four Men upon . the open 'prairie—four men to one—three --revolvers; a Sharp rifle, and an axe againsta barrel shot gun and one man. I atiempted again to heseech them to.commit no act of hostility. I was answered with shots from their pistols. The first one drew blood there.

The third one went through the window of my house, between the heads of' two of ' children, standing within a foot of each other. The fourth struck me in the knee, and is there yet. Then, and not till then, did I fire. A Board ofJus - tice was called and examined the case, as did two grand juries afterwards, and all three decided that 'the shooting was indispensable to the preservation - of my own and the lives of my 'family; and no one has more sorrow in that misfortune than myself. The claim has since been decided mine, and i am now living upon it peaceably and quietly. After the chiim was decided to be mine, I presented to the ;widow of the man whom I shot fifteen hundred dol. -Jars, and the retained it until Quantrell, at Law rence, robbed her of 11,, THE FALSE4MPRISONMENT CASE AGAINST THE SECRET:ART 'OE STATE.—George W. - Jones agt.

The short tour of Mr. Chase in Ohio has beek" . one continued and deserved ovation. -At Oolumbus hi was received with the greatest popular con:fish. ty, and told the people why be had comeAdDliiti : On Friday last, in conversation with our &noel lent President, I told him I had a great notion to go to Ohio and vote the Union ticket [cries of " Good for younj, ' 6 and it you have nothing for me to no, and as the wheels of my department are run ning along smoothly, Ishall go." ' Well," said the President, " I wish you would ;" so I went, and. yesterday I hail the pietism e of contriouting my single vote to the immense majority given in Onio for the Union ; emu I want these boys who stand before me to remember that when a great crisis comes (and - all elections are great crisis im our country ), the drat duty of a ottizen Is to know that he is right, and then vote the ticket. I would not miss the pleasure of having given my vote yeskse• day lor all the compliments just passed upon my administration of the finances. Mr. Chase answered the compliment paid to his ability as an officer of the Government as follows: Your excellent Governor has been pleased,to refer to my own Cervices. I wish I could feel that I was entitled to any portion of the eu/ogium pronounced upon me. I must confess to having endeaVOred to interpret the American heart, and do precisely what the American judgment demanded at the Outset of this struggle. The great leader of opinion, or fol lower of opinion, I am not certain which, the. Lou. don Times, said, " Mr. Chase will soon come to-Ea rope to borrow money, and we will not let him have any, and then we will see what will become of their attempt to restore their vaunted Republic." What would you have me do? asked the speaker. Tow would never have bidden me go to Rogland to get money. [Cheers.] What was to be donee hollowed all the gold there was in the (man try—sl.7sooo,ooo7-and paid it out; but it failed to come back, and the bankers and capitalists said, we can't furnish gold any longer, me lees you pay such prices as will enaole Zs to buy it in England. That did not suit my ideas. It was very clear that 11 they did not furnish it we could not get it—and we had no time to make it. The next thing was, will you take the paper of oar banks and pay us six per cent, in via . 1 What would you -have me dot You would have said, here is Jones, a farmer, Smith, a manufaottirer, Robinson, a soldier, and so on—all reliable and worthy men, whose paper is as good as that of any bank's—why not give such people the preference, and make greenbacks representing the wishes Of tLe people? I did so. L have issued a great many greenbacks. At first many people thought this waa a veiy great exploit; many bankers predicted a 4allure, while others said,. 4 • You are right; go ahead.!' Many disloyalista said, "It will Meat tut down;" and several refused to receive the money. But we told them they could take it or none, and we mace it a legal tender. It was necessary to go one step further, and establish a means by whit's the national currency should be permanent, and the motional banking system was inaugurated. Thus I have given you about as much of a report on finances as I expect to give to Congress. In the concluding portion of his speech, Mr. Man alluded to the mamba of emancipation. The nation is being born again : It had become evident that we were not moving in the pathway of God's providence, and this war had come upon us in order that the people might be born again, and this great nation established upon the basis of free litho'. It was very evident that the nation bad a great work to fulfill in the world, which it could not lulffil as a ale.veholding nation. AB the population of the world increased, and the necessities of the people multiplied, steamboats, railroads and telegraphs became necessary, and in the dispensation of Providence they were supplied. Now, it becomes necessary, in my faith, that there should be a great nation upon the face of the eartk that shill respect the rights of every human being, and this nation is now being born. This war. is giving it birth. [Great applause.] If we are pre pared for this to-day the war will cease; if not, in my faith, the war will go on. Washington behoved that Providence was in the war of the Revo/ution, and I believe that Providence is in this war. The Free Plantations. DO THE NEGROES APPECIATE FREEDOM 3 Answering this question, an able descriptive letter in the New York Times, from Mr. J. A. Ware, the Secretary of Adjutant General Thomas, mentions the Rost Plantation, twenty miles from PTew Or. leans, formerly owned by the rebel emissary, Judge Rost, and now by Mr. Brott. Mr. Ware says: Of all the frauds, lies, absurdities, and sophistries that have constituted tf e foundation, and the sole foundation, of this wretched rebellion ' none was more plausible nor more generally believed than the state ment so confidently made by every alaveholder and so glibly repeated by their parasites in the North, that the slaves are not fit for freedom that their only idea of it is license, and that they will never as. sociate it with duty or responsibility. Though the charitable hoped the truth to be far different from the broad and comprehensive statement of the ad vocate s of slavery, the moat hopeful scarcely dared to hope that leis than a generation would bring the nigro to such a point of intellectual and moral ad vancement as would fit him for the proper enjoy ment of freedom. I myself have always been among the latter class, but I am beginning to believe that we have not only underestimated the intellectual abilities and the moral condition of the slaves, bat have committed the equal error of the degrading influence of their past life. But Without theorizing, let me state the actual condi tion of things here. When Mr. Brott lint looked at this plantation he found only the former overseer and half a dozen slaves. The overseer told hint that most of the slaves had decamped and were collected together at thei contraband camp, and that it would be useless to try to get them back. But Brott was not to beim easily discouraged. He asked for the moat intelll. gent of the negroes that still remained, and got him to go with him to the place where the rest of the negrom were to be found. On their way down this man said that they could never be induced to return under that overseer, for he had been unusually harsh and cruel, and had defrauded and robbed the rie groes whenever he, contd. But Mr. Brott r deter mined_ to try them, and when he arrived at -their rendezvoue called the& together. He told them thathe would feed and clothe them, and, furnish them with medical aid; that they should have sack and such privileges; and at the endof the season one. twentieth of the crop. Now, negroes, from their long experience in judging of men, and from the vital ne cessity they have had of studying them, have gained a sort of instinct, which enables them to judgealm oat infallibly whether a man will keep his promises to them. Mr. Brott is a man whom any one would be willing to trust after seeing him once. He is frank, honest, and bears the stamp of honor and sincerity on his face and in his manner. The man who accompa nied him had been quite won, and, partly through his influence. and partly through what they had seen for themselves, the negroes were quite , willing, so far as Mr. Brott was concerned, to make the attempt. So, after a little consultation, they agreed that they would go, if he would employ another overseer. To this be would not`consent. lie told them heshould not carry on the place himself ; that he needed the services of an experienced man, and one that un derstood the plantation. ' The negroes, however, held out firm, and he gave them a day to think of it. The next day, they were more decided than ever. They - said they would be led out on the levee and shot rather than return under their old overseer. They told him he needed only to have a businese man ; -that there were plenty of the hands who knew as much about the place as the overseer, and could carry it on as well, except with regard to keeping accounts, .buying supplies, and handling money. After considerable ineffectual coaxing on his part, he had to give up, and 'agreed .to discharge the overseer. Be brought away 33 hands, who worked well during the week. The next Sunday they askisd permission to go down to their old friends again, which was granted, and they returned with 13e hands—some strangers, but mostly belonging for. merly to the place—all of whom have been at:work ever since. Not one has left, and I presnme not one could be induced to leave, while apPlications for employment are coming in every day. ME PLANTATION.AS IT. IS They are more contented and happy than they were under the patriarchal institution, though they Work a good deal harder. They save their money for a future day, and their savings amount already to a " good bit." The working hands, will make from seventy-five to a hundred dollars apiece, so the overseer tells me, over and above their share of the crop. They support their families and take care of their aged parents. Now this does not look as though . they were so utterly shiftless, does it ? Again, on. Sunday, after the Bible had been giventhem, I went into the midst of the congregation, and, after saying a few words, so as to get them somewhat acquainted with me, commenced a running fire of questions on this very topic. - I addressed myself solely to the men, who sat apart from the women. From the conversation that ensued, I am convinced hat they do appreciate , their responsibilities and duties. They will spend their money as discreetly as white laborers do, and lam inclined to think more so. They will put their savings in thesavings bank. They will try to be temperate and industrious. Not a theft has been committed on this place, by the nenroes be longing to it, since Mr. Brett took it. They understand the influence they ate to have on futurefgenerationus, and on the policy of the country, provided they shall succeed in doing well and accumulating property. They are desirous of vindicating themselves, their race, and the system of free labor, andttrus laying for their posterity the foundation , of a. home and :e country. How they will succeed, whetier they will be able to resist the temptations which the spread of civilization among them will generate, whet. • . will be willing to take 'their chances- with, - dishonest employer, Ido not know. But beard the conversation I refer to, between and ‘ me,., can doubt that. they really ha and thoughts I have presented; and the predating their position." The =French Frigates in New Harbor. A STRANGE MISSION ASSIGNED TO THEM There has been a great deal of speculation con cerning -the purpose for which vesselsof war of cads of the three greatest Powers of Europe were in our harbor: ;The publio, we believe, generally settled down into the belief that the English happened here; that the Russians had come to our Atlantic coast for safety in event of war between Alexander and Napoleon; but nothing intelligible could be suggested regarding the French, unless, like the English,. their coming was an accident. Concerning this latter, the Richmond Examiner pretends to have news—wonder. ful, if true The French Government, which mo nopolizes the tobacco trade of France, and gains from it an enormous annual revenue, amounting in. 1660 to about two hundred millions of francs, sent smuts to the South, shortly after the inauguration. of the war, to purchase large quantities of the Virginia weed ; but , the Confederate Government was unwilling , to let it go from their ports, and it has been stored it certain points in Virginia for nearly two years. The Examiner says that Vicompte de St. Romain has at last obtained the consent of the Richmond authorities to let the tobacco go, pro vir ed the French Government will send its own vemele for it, which the latter will do, mom panOng the ships by armed convoys; and it is 011 this errand that the French frigates have been sent to New York.' To this whole arrangement, how ever, the Federal Government objects, and Vicompte de St. Romain has come North to communicate the results of his mission to the French Emperor. . The main features of this story are highly probe. hie, though it does seem singular that the French Government should ever think it possible that our Government would permit the export , of tobacco. under such circumstances. If the French could thus purchase and export tobacco from the South, they could of .course do the same with cotton and with sugar, and might thus drive an enormoustrade with the Confederate . Government, and fill up. its exhausted coffers. And if the French' Government had this privilege, we could deny it to no other ;and thus the. blockade of, the Southern coast would be completelY MX:dished..
