LOUISVILLE, Oct. 18, 18G3.
Little more than a year ago this city wore a war
like sepect. Bragg bad marched his army from
Chattanooga into Kentucky, with the design of
capturing Louisville and Cincinnati, and had been
°timely followed by Buell, with the Army of the
Oumberland. The latter officer had beetsfamous for
the laggardness of his movements, but on that on
capion he made a new reputation. It was only
when he commenced the:pursuit of Bragg, while
the latter was retreating from Kentucky, that hie
old habits returned, The great object had been an.
complished by the Army of the Cumberland—the
salvation of, the cities on the Ohio river.' Bragg had
been foiled in his attempt to capture them, and made
his escape to the fantnesses of East Tenneasee.
Louisville was for weeka,the centre of a large mili
tary force, and at one time was in considerable
danger of attack.
At present there are few indications of the exist
ence of war in its vicinity. It is still the base from
whence the Army of the Cumberland draws its sup
plies, and will continue to be until we force our way
into Georgia, and open communication with the
coast. Two weeks ago the reinforcements for Gen
Rosecrans passed through here, and gave the in
habitants an opportunity of beholding some of the
troops from the Army of the Potomac. The tempo:
retry defences that were thrown up a year ago still
remain, ready - for another emergency. Pregent indi.
cations do not .point to a probability of their being
immediately useful. They are likely to play an
ornamental part in the history of Louisville,' for
some time to come. -
Tbe problem concerning the fate of slavery, that II
has been so rapidly wrought out in Missouri, has
from some cause not hitherto been very troublesome
to the Kentuckians. Of course, they have not at any
time been unmindful of a subject in which they are
deeply interested, but they have managed to escape
the dissensions that have fallen to the lot of Mis
souri. The indications now are, that they will not
longer be allowed to rest in quiet. Already a con
vsntifili is called to assemble in this city, to consider
the subject of immediate emancipation; said con
vention is to be composed of Kentuckians and Mis
sourians, and will embrace the radical elements in
the Iwo States. The friends of slavery are much
opposed to the movement, arguing that all ag,its
lion tends to endanger the institution. They will
oppose the movement as long as possible; but if
worst should come, the slaveholders themselves will
doubtless come 'forward and offer propositions for
an amicable adjustment of the whole question.
Slavery IS destined to perish in Kentucky as soon
as in Missouri, and the slaveholders are not back.
ward in perceiving it. They will do all in their
power to avert the evils that have fallen upon Mis
souri, through the quarrels of the two parties in
that State.
The State Government of Kentucky is spoken of
as perfectly uncommitted to either side of the ques
tion. It is ready to adopt and carry out any mea
sure that will please the whole people, or a m ejority of
them. If the State should declare for emancipation,
by convention or otherwise, the Governor and other
officials would give their whole efforts to further
the cause ; and they would work equally earnestly
if the perpetuation of slavery were to be decreed
upon 'by the people. But little is said concerning
Governor Bramlette, the recently elected Governor.
No one has any fulsome praise to give him, and at
the same time no one appears inclined to find any
fault. What he may do when be gets the machine
ry at work it is difficult to say ; but the present indi
cations are that he will avoid all that would bring
discord into the State: His opponents in the can
vass are preparing to contest the election, but are
not likely to make much headway. The Legisla
ture wilt decide the question, and as nineteen
twentieths of the members are on the aide of Gov.
Brainlette, it is easy to see which way they will vote.
Parties are constantly arriving here from General
Boorman& army, so that we are pretty well
posted .concerning the situation in East Tennessee.
The few Secession sympathizers in Louisville are
despondent over their provosts, and look upon the
cause of General Bragg as hopeless for the present,
if not for all time. They consider the result of the
late battle as a failure as far as the object ofßragg's
movement was concerned. Chattanooga was the
prize to be obtained at all hazards, and the failure
to obtaidit renderedlhe battle a fruitless one on'
their part. As long as we hold Chattanooga there
is no possibility that Bragg, will repeat hie move
ment of last year to come north into Kentucky. If
he could once get Chattanooga he could at any mo
ment move upon Rosecrans , flank into Tennessee
and Kentucky, provided he were sufficiently'
strengthened to be able to maintain himself in case
of a coalition.
There is nothing particularly new to chronicle
from the front. Bragg . holds the heights of Mis
sionary Ridge and Lookout Mountein, and from
them can look down upon Gen. Rosecrans' army,
camped in Chattanooga. A siege is talked of, but
those who know the locality say the nature of the
the country is such that Bragg can do little in the
way of a siege. An attack by assault is out of the
question, as the works of defence have been made
too strong for carrying by a dash, either by daybr
night. The rebel cavalry has several times crossed
the Tennessee above Chattanooga, and fallen upon
our communications, but it has not thus far suc
ceeded in doing much damage. Deserters, recent
ly in, say that a large number Of pontoon' are be
ing constructed, with the.evident design of crossing
the entire army to the north bank of the river.
Gem Bragg la;hardly likely to attempt this, butif he
should, he will find he has made a sad mistake. It
is probab'e that the construction of pontoons is a
ruse, designed to cover some movement on the south
bank of the river. The indications are that there
will be nothing of importance withthe Army of the
Cumberland for some time to come.
Generals McCook and Crittenden passed through
here two days ago on their way to Indianapolis, in
obedience to an order from the War Department.
Their conduct in the battle of Chickeimatiga is to
undergo a stria investigation. It is an amusing and
perplexing circumstance of a battle that the most
contradictory statements are always circulated, and
are all susceptible of the most positive proof. The
reports of the late battle, as they first came to the
public, announced that Gen. Thomas' corps stood
its ground, and bore the brunt of the fight, while
the corps of McCook and Crittenden gave way.
The Mende of these officers at once contradicted the
statement, even before they had heard the particu
lars of theliffair. They did not appear to under-.
stand that there might be such an occurrence, and
mobedy to blame for it, but made the denial most
positive. The Louisville Journal carried the matter
so far as to devote an entire column to personal
abuse of the newspaper , correspondents who came
from the field with the report of the fight.. Its
defence cd these two generals, when, all summed
up, reminds one of the reply of the man idthe story,
when his neighbor demanded pay for a borrowed,
kettle, which the former had broken : "I didn't
break the kettle ; the kettle- was cracked when I
borrowed it, and I never borrowed a kettle at all."
The defenders of these officers assert in one breath
that the corps did not break; in the next, that they
did all the fighting, and couldn't help breaking , ; in
the third, that the generals didn't go to the rear st
all till the battle was over ; and, ih the fourth, that
the reason why they went to the rear in the heat of
the battle was because they were so ordered by Ge
neral Rosecrans. .Whe Court of inquiry will doubt
less elicit the whole truth concerning the matter.
The invasion of Missouri appears to be at an end.'
General Brown and General Totten have over
taken and defeated the guerilla", capturing their
artillery and wagons, and making prisoners of a
portion of the rebel force. The remainder are scat
tered in all directions, but will probably unite again
in the southwestern part of the State in their old
haunts. Their knowledge of the roads in the State
is so complete that it will be imposeible to surround
them mite to cut off all hone of retreat. The in
terior of Missouri is so completely cut up with roads
in all eirections, that movements can be made at
every point of the compass from any designated
locality. No commander would be able to prevent
movements upon hie flank or to his rear. It is easy
enough to surround the guerillas, but not so easy to
cut off all avenues of escape.
The damage done - in this raid is of no importance
in a military point of view. The destruction of the
Laraine bridge on the Pacific Railroad will be a
heavy lots to (the Compeny, but it will be greedily
rebuilt. It is not likely to detain the travel on the
line for any length of time, as there is a supply of
timber 4eady prepared that can be hastily put to
gether. When the war broke out in Missouri; the
rebels burned most of the bridges on the line of the
road. The Company then saw its business would
be llabletalrequent interruption from similar- or.
ourrences. As soon as it had rebuilt the burned
bridges, it_ ordered a duplicate of each to be con
structed and kept in readiness. Besides the destrue
tion of the railroad property, the rebels plundered
many stores and private houses, and carried off
whatever moveable property they could lay hands
upon. It is evident they come into the centre of
the State merely upon a grand stealing excursion.
It is just announced that the reply ofthe President
to the Missouri delegation has been made to the
chairman of the delegation at St. Louis. If the tele
graphic abstract is a fair summary of the contents of
the letter, it will be far from satisfactory to the radi
cals. They will admit no terms of compromise, and
will consider nothing except a full compliance with
their demands. The action of the President will
not quiet the difficulties in that ertunate
State. It was the best course he could adopt,
and the only misfortune is that there is
no man living who can bring order of the
chaos in Miesouri.' Governor Gamble and his
friends are preselavery in a high degree, but they
would not have been so exceedingly conservative
had they not been forced to it by the - radicals. So
with General Schofield, and the radicals have them
selves to thank for the position in which -he stands.
It is an unfortunate quarrel, in which everybody is
to blame. . ,
The Lindell Hotel, the largest in the West, is to
be opened this week in St. Louis. The building was
erected before the war, but the disturbances brought
the work to a stand-still. The establishment has
recently been furnished and will be opened with
much display. Whether it will be a success or not
lie wiestion that time will decide, FIBIMIONr.

The' city is now liftially full to the overflow,
and still strangers are !crowding in by thousands.
It is meet unfortunate fta'T us that we cannot resort
to the theatrical praotide of posting up placards,
labelled, "Only standing ' kern lett ;" for the need of
some such repellant is beceling painfully apparent.
Our hotels are monopolized y the floating popula

trunks and plethoric carpet bags are ominous of
something more than "good ipr this day only."
The more respectable portion of the boardifig-houses
is subjected to a similar internalkessure. There is
a great demand for houses, furniabiti s and unfurnish
ed ; and, naturally enough, the rentskequired keep
pace with the vigor of the demand. tit few days
since, a gentleman of Fifth avenue, who f& about
sail for Europe, leased his furnished residence to one
of the new comers at the enormous rent ay seven
hundred dollars per month, and numerous astartaes
are on record where the prices asked, andltendily
agreed to, have rated from five hundred dokt to
three hundred per month for furnlehed resideneits•
which a year ago would not have commanded mtch
over half of these sums. Most of this ravenous
devouring multitude consists of speculators an
army contractors, who are lured here by the deep°.
rate gambling in Wall street, which has a brilliancy
and sparkle for the eyes of those who are desirous
of risking their fortunes in this terrible game of
finances. One is forcibly reminded of the (Jaye of
Law's Mississippi scheme, in Paris, when consider
ing this enormous influx of eager finanoiers ; and,
perhaps, it requires; no' very prophetic vision to dis
cern the day when their mad struggles will topple
the whole fabric, which each is now struggling to
surmount, and bring it in ruin upon their heads.
The game which is being played is one of sheer
insanity; and the feverish men who are actually
piling upon each other, in their wild passion for
sudden gains, must eventually, as a mass, become
bankrupt, and the vast amounts now circulating
in the stock market fall to the share of the inevita
ble minority who, through the instrumentality of
peculiar fortune, always thrive upon the ruin of the
majority. Already, more colossal fortunes have
been lost and made within the contracted limits of
street„ than ever before, in the space of a three
Years' campaign in finaneee. On every hand you
meet with men who have amassed enormous sums
from simple stock speculation within the last twelve.
month, and nearly sa many who are utterly drained,
and reduced to poverty through the same means. In
the smaller towns contiguous to the city, these facts
are especially palpable. Hundreds of agrioniturists
aid small merchants, have, after a brief dabbling in
this mad business, found themielves elevated to the
higher ranks of wealth ; while their lestifortunate
contemporaries, starting from the same places,
have been lost sight of; hidden in the surging
crowds of the' great city Such men do,„ . not
care to return in beggary to the . little communities
from which they parted in their search for the pro.
digal wealth of the Street of Financier& And now,
Seedy, penniless, and forlorn, they go down to Wall
street, daily, just as the poor Miss Flite, of " Bleak
House," was wont to go down to the dismal court o
chancery ; hoping every hour to retrieye the means
which the hardhearted and imperturbable Minority
holds in his pockets. Surely, never before, in this
great city, which is always duplicating wonderful
things, have there been ao many feverish and woe
begone men, so many heartbroken waiters on this
Chancery of Finances ; so many despairing Micaw
hers, gazing at Wall street, with blood.shot, gloomy
eyes, "waiting for something to turn ult"
PERSONAL
General Corcoran lately visited New York, for
the purpose of installing in the place of a wife, now
some months dead, a youthful bride. The lady, thus
elevated to refined and intellectual circles, comes
from a moat respectable family, residing on the
east aide of the city. The Affair was so quietly per
formed, that the public knew nothing of it, until
the General and his partner were well out of the
reach of "Jenkins,"
Justice Clerke delivered an opinion in the well
known case of Geo. W. Jones vs." William H. Se
ward, on Monday. Jones, it will be recollected,
was a minister under Buchanan, and, upon his ar
rival from Bogota, was arrested, and incarcerated in
Fort Lafayette. The justice held that the Presi
dent had no constitutional power to suspend the
writ of habeas counis, either as President or as com
mander-in.chief. The question came up on a mo.
tion to transfer the cause from the Supreme to the
United States ciroutt,,
• THE STEVEDORES.
The stevedores on the wharves, who have always
borne and merited a bad name, and which they in
nowise belied during the riots, have endeavored to
start a fresh auto do fe. A party of them, armed
with the moat approved implements of ,4 , ntchery,
set upon a handful of negro laborers for the purpose
of upholding their own democratic rights. The
blacks showed a most desperate fight, but were
overpowered by numbers. At the critical moment,
however, the police commenced abrading the intel
lectual skulls of the aesailants, and arrested the
ringleaders. At one time serious consequenceswere
apprehended.
A BLOOKADE RUNNER,
The blockade runner' Douro, recently - destroyed
by our fleet before. Wilmington, was a prize vessel,
which was 'purchased here by her captain, an oily
tongued and jolly Canadian. Collector Barney
seized her, immediately atter the puraase, upon
suspicion. At ihe same • time the captain was at.:
rested on charge of perjury in some previous case
of blockade running. She was, however, permitted
to proceed, upon heavy bonds being given that she
was intended for legitimate trade. She was a neat,
jaunty.looking iron propeller, of - no very great
speed, and attracted some little attention as she was
lying in the harbor. The Brat officer, who was asp.
tured, is a Yankee of the "inevitable" style, but a
man of some little education, and great suavity of
manner. The Douro was bought, I believe, for
twenty-eight thousand dollars. STUYVESAINT.

OUR DEER
The deer presented to the city of Boston by your
municipality have been quartered on our famous
Common; where they attract a great deal of atten
tion. Our citizens walk out on Sunday, with their
wives and children, and one of the points to which
they . first wend their steps is the deer park. Some
people, when they hear of the probable appointment
of a city game•keeper the coming year, and of ex
penses already incurred, think that they are paying
a rather high price for venison ; but, then, it wont do
to look a gift horse in the mouth.
THE UNION CLUB.
A short time since a social club, called "The Union
Club,” was organized in this city, of which Hon.
Edward Everett was elected president. They pur
chased the elegant mansion of the late Abbott Law
rence, on Park street, and have fitted it, at great ex
pense,-for the purposes of social enjoyment, and in
every respect it is said to be equal to any in the
country. A few evenings since it was opened for
the Brat time, when the executive committee made
a report on the progress of the club, and Mr.
Everett, the president, made a brief but eloquent
and patriotic address. The report was written
by Hon. Charles G. Loring, one , of the soundest
and ablest lawyers of this country, and was plain
and straight forward in stating the patriotic object
of the club, and its abhozrenee of those who revive
party names and ties for the purpose of denouncing
and opposing the Government. The addreskof Mr.
Everett was in the same strain, and has drawn the
bitterest censure of the editor of the Courier y For a
long time previous to the opening of the rebellion,
the Courier•had been regarded as Mr. Everett's special
organ, and was the only paper In the city which
supported the Belt-Everett ticket in the late Presi
dential election. Mr. Everett has for some time been
moving from the ground which he formerly held,
and lately has ranged himself with those who sup
port the Government, by supporting the Adminis
tration. Since 'he has taken this position he has
been severely attacked by the Courier, 'and those
who know how much the 'Courier owes to Mr.
Everett and his friends, wonder that feelings of
gratitude could not keep its editor silent towards
a gentleman so universally respected and es
teemed. But the cause of this conduct is ex
plained by the fact that ex-Presislent Pierce has
lately been much interested in the Courier, and has
raised several thousand dollars in New Hampshire
to help keep it alive. So we hear " The old king is
dead. Long hie the king 1"
THE MUSIC HALL, ORGAN
The organ which has been in the process of con
struotion for the last seven years, for the Boston
Music Hall, is to be publicly exhibited, for the first
time, on the evening of the 211 of. November. We
have reason for just pride in the possession of such
an Instrument, far surpassing any on this continent,
and unsurpassed by any In the Old World. Its ac
tual powers may tie estimated from these facts:.lt
has nearly six thousand pipes, the largest thirty
two feet in length, and the smallest less than baby'a
whistle ; there are four hand key-boards, and eighty
nine stops ; twelve pairs of bellows are reqUired to
till the pipes, and these are moved by an ingenious
application of waterpower. The organ-house is o t t
black walnut, sixty feet im height, and is covered
with carved statues, busts, masks, and figures
bold relief, all exquisitely proportioned, and adapted
to the position.which they till. There is nothing
known here to which it can be oOmpared, and any
attempt at elaborate description seems tame and
senseless in comparison with the reality. On the
occasion of the opening, -several of the best organists
in the country will be present to illustrate its
powers. An ode written for the occasion will be
recited by Miss Charlotte Cushman. Several of our
best poets were requested to furnish the ode, but
none would undertake such a task, and the direc
tors hardly knew where to apply, when they re
ceived anonymouily through the post office,' the
one which Miss Cushman is to read.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Oct. 20.—The Richmond
Enquirer, of the 16th instant, contains the following
editorial, entitled "Peace," which must profoundly
interest alike the friends and enemies of the country:
Save on our own terms, we can accept no peace
whatever, and must fight till doomsday, rather than
yield an iota of them, and our terms are:
Recognition 14' the enemy of the independence of
the Confederate States.
Withdrawal of the Yankee forces from every foot
of Confederate ground, including Kentucky and
- Missouri: - -
Withdrawal of the Yankee soldiers from Mary
land, until that State shall decide by a free vote
whether elle shall remain in ,the old Union, or ask
admission into the Confederacy.
Consent on the part of the Federal Government to
give up to theContederacytts proportion of the navy
as it stood at the =WI)f seifession; or to pay for the
Yielding up of all pretensions on the part of the
Federal Government to that portion of the old Ter
ritories which tea west of the Confederate States.
An equitable settlement, on the basis of our abso
lute lime pendence ann equal rights, of all accounts of
the public debt and public lands, and the advantages
accruing from foreign treaties.
These provisions,.. we apprehend,' comprise the
minimum of what we
-must require before we lay
down oar arms; that is to say, the North - must
yield allwe nothing. The whole pretension of that
country to prevent by force the separation of the.
States must be abandoned, which will be equivalent
to an avowal that our enemies were wrong from the
first, and, of course, as they waged a causeless and
wicked war upon us, they ought in strict: justice to
be required, according to usage in such cases, to
reimburse to us the whole of our expenses and -
losses in the course of that war. Whether this last
proviso is to be insisted upon or not, certain we are
that we cannot have any peace at all until we shall be
in a position not only to demand and exact, but also to
enforce and collect, treasure for our own reimburse
ment out of the wealthy cities in the enemy's coun
try. In other words, unione we can destroy or scat
ter their armies, and break up their Government,
we can have no peace ; and if we can do that, then
we ought not only to extort from them our own full
terms and ample acknowledgment of their wrong,
but also a handsonie indemnity for the trouble and
expense caused to us by their crime.
Now, we are not yet in position to dictate those
terms to our enemies, with Rosecrans' army still in
the heart of our country, and Meade still on the
Virginia soil ; but though it is too soon to propose
such conditions to them, yet it is important that
we should keep them plainly before• our own eyes
as the only admissible basis of any conceivable
peace. This well fixed in the Confederate mind,
there will be no more fearful looking for news from
Europe ; as if that blessed peace were to come to us
over the sea, and not to be conquered on our own
ground. There will be no more gaping for hints of
recognition and filling of the belly with the east
wine ; no more distraction or diversion from the
single momentous business of bracing up every
nerve and sinew of 'the country for battle.
It is especially now, at the moment when great
and perhaps decisive battles are impending at two
or three points, that we think it most essential to
insist upon the grand and entire magnificence of the
stake and cause.
BOS TON, Oct. 19, 1863.
OnCe more we say, it is all or nothing. This Con
federacy or the Yankee nation, one or other, goes
down, down to perdition. That is to say, one or the
other must forfeit its national existent*, and lie at
the mercy of its mortal enemy.
We all know by this time the fate in store for us,
if we-succumb. The other party has no smaller
stake.
.As surely as we completely ruin their armies—and
without that is no peace nor truce at all—so surely
shall we make them• pay our war debt, though we
wring it out of their hearts. And they know it well,
and, therefore, they cannot make peace except
through their utter exhaustion and absolute inabili-
ty to strike another blow. .
The stake.they have to forfeit, then, if they lose
this dreadlul game, is as Nital as ours. So is the
stake to be won, if they win anything. It is no less
than the entire possession of our whole country,
with us in it, and everything that is ours, from Ohio
to the Rio Grande, to have and to hold, to them and
their heirs forever.
But, on the other-hand, what we mean to win is
utter separation from them for all time. We do not
want to govern their country, but, after levying
upon it what seemeth good to us by way of indemni
ty, we leave it to commence' its political life again
from the beginning, hoping that the lesson may have
made them sadder and wiser 'Yankees. ,
. ,
We shut them out forever, with all their unclean
and scoundrelly ways, intending to lead our lives
here in our own Confederate way, within our own
well guarded bounds, and without, as St. John 'aye,
And let no Confederate feeble•knees and tremulous
backbone lay to us, thid complete triumph is
nossible ; say that we must be content with some
kind of compromise,
and give and take ; on the con
trary, we must - gain all or lose all, and that the Con
federates will indeed win the giant game, we take to
be as certain as any future event in this uncertain
world.
Meade , s army and Rosecrans , once scattered, Lin
coln can get no more armies. The draft turns out
manifestly fruitless.. Both the. German and Irish
element are now•for peace. The Yankees have to
bear the brunt ot the war themselves, but in the
me antime their inevitable bankruptcy it advancing
like an armed man. Hungry ruin has them in the
wind. It cannot be long before the Cabinet at
Washington will have, indeed, to consider seriously
proposals for peace, under auspices and circum•
stances very different from the present. For the
present the war rolls and thundera on, and may God
defend the right.

The Freedmen in Virginia.
From a very interesting letter of Miss Rhoda. W.
Smith, published in the West Chester American of a
recast date, we mike the following extracts. Miss
Smith is in charge of the, freedmen on the Govern
ment farms, near Norfolk, and her observations are,
therefore, of interest and value. The letter is dated
Gayle Farm, near Norfolk, Sept. lA, 1863, The
writer spays
I came to this farm the beginning of last February,
having been requested by Dr. Brown, surgeon in the
U. U. Army and superintendent of contrahinds in
and around Norfolk, to., act as teacher to the freed
men on this and the adjoining farm, and also to• sup
ply; as far as it was in my power, their necessities,
religious, moral, and physical. The population on
the two farms consisted then of about ninety negroe•
—men, women; and children. Shortly after the two
farms were occupied it was thought that the number
Of laborers on .thew was too great to be'advantage
ouslyetepioyed, and thirty were removed to another
Government farm, so that their number is now only
sixty.
I came herewith a higher opinion of the capacity
of the negro than the majority of people whom I
knew possessed, hut, if 'I may judge from- the-speci
mens with whom 1 have been closely associated for
the " - "last seven months, I did not put a sufficiently
high estimate upon their ability to provide fur them
selves and their susceptibility of elevation. This
transition state through which they are now pass
ing is attended.with very many greatly discouraging
and demoralizing influences; still I do not think
there could he found many little communities of
whites who, having had up to the time of their
establishment no more opportunity of exercising
their innate abilities, or of acquiring knowledge of
ny kind, Would by what they are accioni
plitbing do themselves so much credit, and yet,
poor ',creatures, they often remind me of Casper
Hensler • having reached the age and stature of
men,- their moral and mental powers are dwarfed
irom having been denied all exercise where it would
risk their becoming convinced that they were any
thing more than chattels,in the possession of their
masters, and asserting their right to use their newly
discoyered powers, thus depriving their oppressors of
their gains.
The course which I have pursued ever since I
cams here, has - been that of teaching three hours in
the morning, and from an hour and a half to two
hours at .night. The length of the night session
varies in proportion-to the degree of fatigue they
haveturdergone during the day, and it is attended
yuincipapy by adults. The attendance is very ir
regular, owing to the frequent necessity there is for
all that are old enough to work on the farms. Ido
not think it has at any time exceeded thirty. When
I fleet came but three of my pupils could read at all,
and that very imperfectly. Now, I suppose there
are as many aa twelve who can read. I have prayer,
and the reading of a chapter in the Old Testament,
and one in the New, every evening before I begin
school, and the morning 'school is opened by the
iepetition, in unison, of the Ten Commandments
and the Lord's ; Prayer, the reciting of a few short
answers ina simple catechism, and a short prayer.
lan the Sabbath we have meeting at one of the
fedi. in the morning, and at the other in the after
noon.' At these meetings I read the Bible with a
very brief explanation, and then read one of a se
ries of very short sermons written expressly for
Southern negroes, and I generally give out one
h 3 mfr. The rest of the services, I leave them to
conduct themselves. We have always some per
sons from the neighborhood to unite with us, and
the number of these increasing.
Several of the men, in addition to what they were
requite d to do on the farms, have built themselves
snug little eatans, and each of them is allowed a
Mall lot of ground which he is permitted to culti
vate at odd times for himself, and they all do it
Besides this some of them work in the evenings and
on rainy days at netting Betas and muking buckets
and mats. At these they would do much more if
they could get sale for their manufacture, but the
market bete is. overstocked with such articles.
Could sny way' be devised that would make it
worth while to send them North?
I would like to say to all who feel an interest in
the freedman, that I would most thankfully receive
any donations that they feel they can, without too
much sacrifice,, make to that portion of them among
whom I ant"placed. They will very.soon, almost as
soon as it could be procured and forwarded, need
warm and strong clothing. Durability and warmth
are the things most to be considered now. All arti
cles and all sizes of clothing are needed. Shoes for
the women seem to be especially in demand. They
also need herd handkerchiefs. Almost all the women
can knit, so that, lithe yarn could be furnished, they
could knit the stockings. I think the most of them
are almost destitute of bedclothing.
I wish 'I could, in concluding, persuade any num
ber of men of sterling integrity and high Christian
principle, who are interested in the development of
all the good traits in the freedmen and the killing
oueol all those vices which have had hothouse cul
titre from their. wicked Masters, to take into serious
consideration the question, whether they cannot
come down here among them '
rent Government
farms, and, undertake, the work of teaching these
people how to live on earth and prepare for Heaven.
Those who have a desire to assist in ameliorating
the condition of these people, under Miss Smith's
charge, can have their donations forwarded by send.
ing them directed to Mrs. P. Ezra Smith, West
Cheater, Pennsylvania.

RUSSIAN RULE IN POLAND.
The following description of one of the late" exc.-

in the Schlessische Zeitung :
I had been to the five places, and everywhere found

tumefied to the Bank Square to witness the execu

With a Capuchin monk opposite to him, both ap
pearing to be deeply engaged in confidential talk, and
a detachment of gendarmei and Uhlfins. The cart
stopped at a stake near the bank bantam and a
loud cry of anguish came from the assembled crowd.
Rosinski, a youth of nineteen years at most stepped
quietly to the ground, and looked around him in a
irienery way, and with evident calmness. His
smiling face only became clouded when the crowd
gave vent to their emotion in loud cries arid: sobs,
At a signal from the commanding. officer the band

the crucifix reverently. and afterwards the monk's
hand. Two provosts now led him to the stake,

were going on the hamdsome features of the young
man again cleared up. The officer now gave the
word of command,. and• twelve soldiers of the ate

the volley fired. I saw the body of Kosinski stag

[From Galignani's Messenger, October 3.]
We have received the following communication:
PARIS, Oct. 3.—ln your impression of yesterday
you extract from the columns of the Independence
Beige several passages of an article, the author of
which, in himlescription of nay, professional attend
ance on hie Holiness the Pope,'drawa largely upon
his imagination. Some of his statements you have
judiciously discarded, and had the correspondent of
the Independence merely expressed an opinion, favo
rable or otherwise, on my personal merits, I should
scarcely have taken the trouble of replying. But I
am represented as having been clandestinely intro•
duced, as a miracle monger, into the Vatican, and
secretly preparing liniments for the cure of erysipe
las. I am further stated to have indulged, in the
presence of the Pope, in remarks offensive to the
Cardinals; and, finally, to, have been promptly ills
-missed after the recovery of his Holiness. No
thing of all this is true. The Pope is in the
habit of. acting openly, per urbem et - orben, and
did not by any means think it necessary to use
concealment in requesting mV advice. I did not
attend alone >or in - secret on his Holiness, and
if' a cure was effected, a fair proportion of credit
is due to my excellent confrere, Dr. Viale, the Holy
Father's habitual medical adviser, who always join.
ed me in consultation. The gates of the V atioan
were not closed against me. To the laid day of my
residence in Rome / was received in the kindest
manner, not only by my illustrious patient, but also
by his ministers, and on the eve of my departure
was honored with the most flattering testimonial of
his gratitude. After so gratifying a reception, I
should have given but a poor idea of my good feel
ing had I presumed, in the presence of Pius IX:., to
use language disrespectful to the Cardinals. Such
language would assuredly have been heard, and
most properly rebuked. I must apologize for the
length of this letter, but several physicians having
recently given rather extensive , publicity to their
protestional doings, I.might otherwise be suspected
of having some share in the publication of the ob
jectioaable feuilleion or the Independence, the facts of
which are incorrect, and the spirit quite incompati
ble with my profound veneration for the Holy
Father. Receive, &c. ALPE GUERIN,
Surgeon of the Hospital of St. Louie.
RECOGNITION..

[From the Paris Steele, Oct. 7 ]
Every time the North suffers a repulse the parti
sans of the slavery rebellion *all out for mediation
and intervention. The last battle has supplied
them with a very natural occasion for repeating
their demand ; but the article in the Union comes
too late. We know now how the results of the
battle have been exaggerated in favor of the
South. The Union and the friends of the
slavery Confederation are wrong in cherishing de.
haions, and in urging the Government towards a
path it has hitherto shown Reel( only too disposed
to follow. The South continues to exhaust itself, while
the North incessantly renews its resources by work.
Commerce and industry continue there as , though
nothing were happening. In the South, on the
contrary, there is no work anywhere; and misery
exists accordingly in 'every direction. We have
much more serious reasons than 'the = Union for re
gretting the bloodshed in America. Our only desire
111 lor the struggle to cease ; but we know that the
means it proposes.for terminating the war would,
on the eontrary, only prolong it and extend it to
nations whoffiave hitherto merely felt its distant
effects. .
EARL RUSSELL'S TREATMENT OF MASON.
CFrom the London Court Journal, Oct. 5.3
It is asserted that Earl Russell returned Mr. Ma
son's letters unopened, and refused to see him. This
is an unfounded accusation. Lord Russell simply
declined to receive the Confederate envoy in any
official way, which would have been done had he
received despatches through Mr. Mason's hands
from Mr. Davis, and granted Mr. 'Mason private di
plomatic interviews.
HENRY WARD BEECHER AT MANCIIESTPR.
The Examiner of the 10th says of the meeting :
" Last night the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher re
ceived a welcome in the Free Trade Hall of Man
chester such as has rarely been accorded to any
other person. The spacious hall was crowded in
every part, and when the reverend gentleman ap
peared he was greeted with the most enthusiastic
cheers. During his oration he was frequently in
terrupted, but these checks only served to show how
limited was the opposition, and how general was
the agreement with the speaker. His pointed re
marks were frequently greeted with rounds of ap
plause ; and when a notice was read that the
broad arrow" of the Government had that day
been placed on the suspected steam rams In the
it) ei sey, the enthusiasm reached its climax. The
whole audience rose, vociferously cheering and
waving hats and handkerchiefs. The meeting ter
minated very quietly, notwithstanding the early
promise of opposition ; and air. Beecher left behind
him an impression which will not soon be forgotten
by the friends of the Federal Government in Man
chester."
RECEPTIO:N OP THE MEXICAN DEPUTATION BY THE
ARCHDURE.
Worretpon deuce of the London Times.]
M. Gutierry de Estrada and his fellow-delegates
left Vienna on Thursday.morning for Trieste. They
found no difficulty in getting, quarters, for the Arch
duke had been obliging enough to hire for them the
whole of the first floor of the principal hotel of the
town, where two chamberlains were in attendance
to show them their rooms. It appears the lead
ing citizens of Trieste disputed with each other the
honor of placing their eqqipages at their orders.
They drove out to Miramar on Saturday in'the
archilucal carriage, and were receive(' by the future
Emperor, surrounded by, his aids.de-camp, chamber
lains and household, all, of course, in gala dresses.
After the usual compliments they exhibited the
vote of the " notables" of Mexico engrossed on .
parchment. It was enclosed 'lathe handle of a scep
tre of solid gold which had been sent from Mexico,
and bad been made at the she test notice, by Mexi
can artists. This emblem of sovereignty represents
two eagles supporting the imperial crown, with a
serpent In their beaks, encircled With a garland of
laurels and olives.
M. Gutierry de Estrada was the spokesman on
the occasion. He described the, events and vide*

tudes which had led the Mexican nation to seek in
the re-establishment of monarchy the term of their
discOrds,'which he showed to be the necessary conse
quence of all that has occurred since the emancips•
tion of the old Spanish colonies. As a matter of
course, he paid a just tribute of homage to the Em
peror Napoleon ./.11.' (and to France), who took so
leading a part irr.the great and noble task of Mexi
can regeneration. He added that, in making choice
Of an Austrian prince, the "notables' , had only
rendered homage to the popular traditions of the
country, and that the most prosperous period ever
known by the Mexicans was while they were
under the domination of the Archduke's ancestors.
M. Gutierry de Estrada grew warm with his theme.
The linger of God, he said, by endowing the Arch
duke Ferdinand Maximilian with the richest and
rarest qualities, pointed and designed him as the
Object of the unanimous choice of the people. The
Archduke could not refuse the crown thus spouts
nenusly and enthusiastically offered to him without
opposing the designs of Providence ; and if Provi
dence had brought out to light the gifts and merits
of the prince, it vias clearly in order to direst them
town] ds the fulfilment of the great work—the sal
vation and regeneration of Mexico.
The Archduke, whose reply to the speech of DI.
Gut terry de Estrada had been previously submitted
to the Emperor his brother, and approved, informed
the deputation that be contracted the solemn en
gagement to.accept the crown of Mexico es soon as
the vote of tbe notables" should have been rati
fies! by the suffrages of the Mexican people.
This proviso seems superfluous. DI. Gutierry de
Estrada had already informed his Imperial High
ness that the Mexican people were " unanimous."
The Mexicans will now be called upon to vote, and
the French mmy is then to see that the votes shall
be voluntan as well as unanimous.
TB& EAETHQUANE IN BM/LAND
. . .
Mr.'Oharlee Diskena describes the sensatiortihe
experienced. Be says that he was awakened by
violent swaying of hie bedstead from aide to side,
accompanied by a singular heaving motion. It was
exactly as if soma great beast had been crouching
eel, ep under the bed, and was Shaking Remit' and
trying to rise.
The shock appears to hate been felt the most in
the midland and west midland counties. It extended
to Bristol, to Taunton, to Exeter, to Swansea, and
to many miles out at sea. In some places a deep,
rumbling noise was heard. AtNottlarrtlam.the
noise resembled the sound of a heavy carriage ap
proaching.. -
The pbenornerion at Herefoid is minutely described
by the clergyman of Stratton. lie says : "The
sound at first increased with a gradual crescendo for
two or three seconds, until the crash was felt, which
lasted for one second and a half, and consisted of
two concussions, and then subsided as gradually for
some seconds, until it died away in the distance. It
appeared to equal the loudest appeal I ever heard,
but it was fuller and deeper and greater than thun
der. In about three minutes afterward a second
faint rumble was beard."

COLORED SCHOOLS oll3W urtrmors.—The New
Orleans Era describes in an entertaining manner
the several schools of that city established under
the direction of the 'United States authorities for
the education of colored children. At the St. Luke's
Hospital School there are at present two hundred
and eighteen scholars, at the Calliope street school
about sixty, and'at three other schools not yet fully
organized there are as many more. The pupils are
of all ages and colors, and comprise in several in
stances parents and children. These schools are
now regarded as one of the permanent institutions
of the city, and are of incalculable advantage to
the colored race.

RISE IN COTTON.--QUite a 'number of
years since, when the well-knewn Henry Minton
kept the rem taureuttat the southwest corner of Fourth
and Chestnut Omits, many persons of eminence.
frequented the place, to enjoy the luxuries and
necessaries of life always to be hsd there. Henry.
Was as much celebrated: for his keen native wit as
for the excellency, of his catering. While edibles
were in preparation varioua suojects of public, in
terest, etc., occupied attention. Henry himself,
having become a devotee to the "science of political
economy," often gave Vent to hie views upon the
topics of the day. It happened at a period of great
depression in the sortedmarket that Colonel and
Henry were discussing the rpoint of a rise or fall in
cotton, its effects, &c. Henry, with white apron and
a beaming countenance, was standing behind the
oystenbox ; the Colonel was pacing up and down in
front. We were a listener, and could not at the first
account for the unusual delight manifested by Henry
at the greatdepreciation inthe cotton market. 'Chia
soon developed itself as the talk progressed. "Now,
Colonel," said Henry, "coifing ain't riz; Comm'
down sartin. You see, Colonel, if cotting don't
bring 'de high price, in de formmarket, way den, it
won't be worth to Much in de home market; and
den, if cotting ain't worth so much home here, den
dey wouldn't cultivate it, and den dey wouldn't want
de slave labor so much ; and I look upon de fall of
cotting in de
market as just de one ting dat's gwain
to do away wid de slave labor. If de planter can't
find work for de slave wid "good profit, why, den,
dey wouldn't hab 'em ! That's why I likes to see
eating comin , down in de market. I don't like de
slave labor nohow you can fix it. I likea everybody
to be as free as lis myself. NoW, Colonel, you jest
conic here to my place, you calls' for de fried,'
roasted,' ' stewed,' or 'in de shell,'—anything you
pleases, and you gets 'em. You is perfect freedom
here—nobody 'bilges you to call for, or eat, what ,
you don't want. When you've got 'nuff you pays
for it, and go?esWay—or stays, just as you please;
and this is just what I likes, and I'd like to see

tke Colonel eXpiessed himself—as edified.ffe thought
that large liberty did exist is Henry's eating house,
in so far as a very free use of names, dear to every
American, was concerred—in appropriating them
to the eating apartments. Only to- think of A—

charity which " thinketh no evil," to be all of a mid

and as if some offender, rejoicing in either of the
names thus appropriated, was about to be ejected
froni the premises ' neck and heels, for some mis
deeds. And again, when, having quietly taken your
seat in one of the boxes, nomenclated after some of
our early Presidential worthies, as the waiter ap
proaches with the viands ordered, passing the bar
front, Henry's voice is heard, proclaiming, " Put
that corned beef in 'Madison,' put those terrapins
and panned oysters in ' Monroe; coupling such or with the idea of stuffing a defunct President of
the glorious old Union. as you would a turkey, or a
duck, for fattening. We mused, and considered it
the Mau ideal of 'liberty, indeed! Cotting ain't
riz, though. Now we might alter our motto, and say,
" Cotting has riz," and Henry is likely to see his
dearest hopes realized in a way—not within the
scope of "political economy."
CELEBRATION ATN ORRISTOWN.—OUT en
.lllnel/1101c neighbors of Montgomery county, in com
mon with the Union men throughout the State, are
rejoicing lustily over the triumph of Sound. loyal
sentiment in our late election, and to-night Norris
town will he in a blaze of glory on the occasion of a
grand torchlight procession in commemoration of
our victory. The Union League and the National
Union Club of Philadelphis,-which have done such
yeoman tservice in the campaign, have promptly
responded to the call of their country brethren, and,
as will be seen in our advertising columns this morn
ing, they invite all good Union men to meet them at
the League House at 6 o'clock this afternoon, to join
in the demonstration. Birgfeld's fine band will ac
company the delegation, and a special train has been
provided, which will leave Norristown at 10.30 P.
M. for the accommodation of the excursionists. We
hope the Philadelphia delegation will be such as to
do credit to the Union cause in this city.

NEA_TILY DROWNED. —A young lad fell into
the river, from the first wharf below South street, a
day or two ago, and would have heel:l - drowned had
it not been for the timely arrival of a gentleman
named Lush, who was standing near by, and seeing
the lad in a drowning state hastily lowered himself
down from the wharf, and seizing the boy by the
hair of the head soon landed him on terra firms.
He. was frightened very much by hie cold-water
bath. A number of eases similar-to this have oc
curred within the past year, and the police who are
stationed on Delaware avenue should see to it that
children are kept from approaching too near the
water, except when accompanied by an older person.
Rnmeaous.—The Synod of Philadelphia,
of the Presbyterian Church, (0. S.;) will convene
this evenine in the Princeton Presbyterian Church,
(Rev. J. A. Henry, pastor,)lThirty-ninth and Powel
ton avenue, West Philadelphia; and will be opened
with a sermon by Rev. Dr. Edwards, of the West
Arch street church, continuing in session several
days. This is the largest of the thirty-tive synods
which compose the General Assembly. Should eve
ry church send a lay as well as clerical representa
tive (to which each is entitled) the number of dale
sates will be about 400, but only a little more than
200 will probably represent this body. It numbers
among its members, some of the ripestscholars and
soundest theologians of the Presbyterian Church.
RuDDICN DRA.TH.—An.oId and respectable
gentleman, named Moses Hopkins, died very sud
denly, yesterday morning, at his residence in Oak
street, above Thirty-sixth. It appears that he arose
very early in the morning, and was talking to a lady
in the yard of bis house about six o'clock ; after
which he retired to his room, and upon one of the
family going to the room to announce his breakfast
being ready, be was found dead upon the floor. The
deceased was about seventy years of age ,and was
well known . in the Twenty-fourth ward.'He Was
formerly assessor, and has recently been acting as
an agent for Pales, Lathrop, & Co. His death will
be lamented by his numerous acquaintances.
TABOBT PRAenen.—The Henry Guards,
Captain John Spear, left the city, yesterday morn
ing, for target practice at White Marsh. Before
their depollute they made si parade through a num
ber of our streets, which attracted much attention
by their excellent appearance and martial bearing.
The " Guards " are composed of picked men from
the city police force, and were raised at the time of
Lee's last raid into Pennsylvania for the purpose o[
assisting in driving him out. Although they were
not sent to the front, yet they performed good ser
vice in the city of Harrisburg by doing provost duty.
MEETING. OF .MusiclANs. -- About one
hundred of our Philadelphia musicians held a meet
ing yesterday, at Musical Fund Hall, for the pur

Birsfeld was called to the chair. • A committee, re•
presenting the various theatres, bands, am, was
then appointed, who will report rules and regula

the matter.

ACTION FOR BItEAOH OF 1 . 110:41811, OF MARRIAGE.
Mary Joice vs. Patrick Kirk. This waa_as action
brought to recover damages for an alleged breach
of promise of marriage. From • the evidence it ap
pears that Patrick for five years paid constant at
tention to Mary, and proposed, and was accepted.
Ills ;suit having been accepted, the next thing in
eider was the appointment of the day, and, accord
ingly, on Thursday before last Easter, he fixed on
the Sunday following for the completion of the
affair. Mary, by his persuasive eloquence, was in
duced to gve up her place where she was employed
as a domestic, in order the better to. prepare for the
approaching ceremony, and in the.fUlL hope of soon
being his wife ' made extensive putt:theses of muslin,
&c., in order that her wardrobe should be as coin..
plete as possible. She also engaged her sister t 0
act as bridesmaid, and on the appointed day they
were dressed and in waiting; but the bridegroom
tarried, in fact, came not, and has never since ful
filled b2a contract. This suit was accordingly insti
tuted to recover damages for his breach of faith.
The defence offered no, testimony at ail, bitt his .
counsel, Benjamin H. Brewster, Esq., in his address
to the jury, took the ground that the plaintiff was.
entitled to no damages because for five years'shek
had bad the pleasure of the defendant's company.,
which, no doubt, was vastly agreeable to her and:
highly. prized, because she had .instituted, this sui4
bt cause he refused any longer to continue it. The'
tact of her having made purchases of clothing wal,i
also no reason why she should have damages, hi.*
cause the defendant badnot obtained them and Vas
plaintiff had them still for her own use. Betsse
. poing to the jury, however, Mr. Brewster otleasen
the plaintiff's counsel the sum of $lOO in satisfsmtioa,
of thevlaim, but it was refused. The, jury hrei n o t
agreed upon a verdict when the court adjourzed.
