Armies •of ,the Cumberland, Clue, and Kentucky are about to be' connetitrated order the command of General Grant; whom aril val at Naahvilie has been followed by that of the Secretary of War. General Hooker 1e reported at ' tlieveneon, Ala , and General Rosearane his'report at Cincinnati, for what other service' it is unconjectut ed. Mismanagement of the late battle, whose merit belongs to General Thomas, -and which was in progress before Rosearans Was aware, is mentioned correspondence •as , the cause of his removal. General Burn side reports excellent progress in the war, near the line of the Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad. Tbe enemy were met at Blue Springs on the 10th, by a cavalry brigade, and some infantry, and driven in confusion, with a loss of 150 prisoners, and many 'killed and wounded. Gee. Shaokleford continued in pursuit, and drove the enemy from East Tennes gee, and captured Fort Zollloolfer, destroying half a dozen bridges and a locomotive train. He was ten - miles beyond Bristol on the 17th, and near Abing ton. We nownold East Tenueesee, from Bristol to the Hiawseee river. IrtifOltmamune received by General Lee, on the 16th, that a large force, under Burnside, near &bins• ton, in southwestern Virginia, was moving upon Lynchburg, the rebel base of supplies, is a favorite Solution of - the problem of General Lee's retreat. Burnside had destroyed the railroad for forty miles, - and Lee was vigorously embarking troops at Cul peper, for the purpose of running down the Eist Virginia and Tennessee road, after having broken up the roads in his rear to delay the pursuit of Gen. Meade. The Army of, the .Potomac had occupied Warrenton, without a blow, and no doubt seemed to exist that Lee was in retreat. Previous to this, on the .20th,, the rebels were reported in force, near Gainesville, and a battle imminent, iron the advance of our troops. Enfold's cavalry had reconnoitred through Thoroughfare Gap, and found no enemy in force. A nAlu in the rear of our forces at Chattanooga Is apprehended. General Stephen D. Lee, an able eavairy general of the rebels. had crossed the river Rebel_papers report the arrival of .TefFerson•Davis inllfaggre - ariny, to nitjudge tiler die putts of the generals and their commander. Long. 'streetle rtfinored to supersede Bragg. A STEAMSHIP arrival from Europe brings news ,that on the 9th the English Government seized the tatn•ships, built by the Diem'. Laird for the rebels. The Turkish Porte is said to have' offered to pur chase the vessels, a proposition favored by Earl :Rues' ell. Correspondence from the Continent gives impression unfavorable to the Mexican throne. The answer of the Archduke Maximilian was looked upon as a qualified refusal, rather than acceptance of the crown. It is asserted that Prince Ozattoryski has demanded the recognition of the Poles as befit; gerents, doubtless in view of the Southern press{ ; dent: CENTRAL AMERICA dates give hope that St. Da ming° will have to be abandoned by the Spaniards, though a email brigade is still entrenched at La Plata, covered by several war vessels. There are rumors in Havana that Marshal Forey has died of yellow fever. , • IN the case of Hon. G. W. Jones, minister to Bo= gota under Buchanan, against the Secretary of State, Justice elerke, of New York, held that the President had no constitutional right to suspend the habeas corpus, either es President or commander-la thier: ONE of Colonel Birney's recruiting officers, Lieu. tenant White, while on service to enlist slaves, was shot by a slave-owner named Sotheron. Lieutenant ,'White was about to take two slaves-whom the owner had tied up to prevent enlisting. YESTERDAY the committee from the Councils of the city visited the Ilag ship of the Russian admiral, in New York, and invited the distinguished Russian strangers to Philadelphia. The answer of the ad mire/ Was satisfactory and cordial. The Plans of General Lee. The interest generally felt a few weeks ago in the situation of military affairs at Charleston and Chattanooga, gave rilace, temporarily, in the public mind, to a far deeper interest in the struggle for the pre servation of the Union waged here, at home, upon our own soil, in the shape of a political canvass. Having secured this triumph, the . attention of the people now reverts to a new theatre of action ; and the " War in Virginia," from a sleepy news- . - paper caption, is once more changed to an earnest and absorbing fact. We read of mysterious movements and counter-move ments; of reconnoissances and brisk caval ry slarmishes; but what is the grand pur pose that dictates these • things, wh . s.t they can mean, or how they shall finally result, we are only,permitted to surmise. This is a privilege of which the public generally has not been slow fo avail itself, and ru mors of the 'wildest and most absurd character, generally set afloat by sche ming speculators, have been seized upon by the credulous, and circulated with amazing "rapidity. One of these stories,; that LEE'S army was across the Poto mac,-.was started by a New York evening paper ,of Saturday, and printed by one of our disloyal papers on the following day, with all the satisfaction possible .to express -in the boldest-faced type, and a lavish dis plaY of exclamation marks. The• mere fact that such nonsense could impose upon the credulity of any parson whatever shows how anxiously the game of strategy being played by Generals MEADE and LEE is being watched by the public, and with what in tense eagerness its result will be awaited. We think it not improbable that the pas ,sage of the Potomac was included in the general plan of his movements, by Gen. •• "Lan. " But Washington, with its fortifica tions, is impregnable," we hear it said by those who instantly associate the idea of a march upon the Capital with the sugges tion of a rebel advance. We concede - that Washington is impregnable against any fOrce Gen. LEE could bring against it ; and, even supposing that it should be taken by the rebels, that it could not be held by them forty-eight hours. It would be the most fa tal victory LEE could possibly achieve, for it would bring upon his ragged legions a swift and terrible destruction; and rouse the whole North to arms. What, then, was the aim of the rebel General ? Was it to force Clem MEADE to give battle, in the hope of destroying or capturing his army, and thus avenging the terrible defeat of Gettysburg ? Primarily, we think not, although LEE, con fident that the Army of the Potomac has been 'Weakened to strengthen ROBECRAITS, 'would probably- not seek to avoid a general engagement, if a favorable opportunity of fered. Was , his object simply to gain phut: der, or did he begin, in fact, a mere fo raging expedition in force ? Such may have been one of his incidental purposes ; but . certainly it cannot be the 'main one. "Nor, finally,' do we believe that his sole object was to Make a last desperate attempt to attach 4 ' My Maryland "to the Confederacy. To some extent one or more -of these purposes may help to explain hiS present . under- taking ; but we feel convinced that, after all, his grand motive was to gain time. In the summer of 1862, General BRAGG, taking the initiative, advanced against General Boxr.L's communications, compelling him to retreat to touisville, by which movement the whole of Tennessee came into rebel posses sion, and the war was retarded , for an entire year. In the, fall of 1862-General LBE, taking the initiative, advanced against General POPE'S communications, compel ling him to retreat to Washington ; by which movement the whole of Virgi- nia came into rebel possession, and the, war Was retarded for at- least six months. In the summer of 1863, General LEE, always taking the initiative, menaced the communications of General HOOKER, compelling him likewise to retreat to Wash ington, by which movement the whole of Virginia once more fell into the possession of the rebels, and the war has been retarded for , at least another four months, and the inactivity might have continued for a longer -period, but for the fact that LEE has once ,more I.`lit his trains in motion. Th e e treztgy of General LEE is very evi „dent. It -is ilifinitely cheaper for him to -prolong the war foi six months at a time, , by,a simple march of - orte or two hundred miles, than to attempt, to prolong it by fighting decisive battles, in which his suc cess has always Veen indifferent. lie can not spare the men. One or two Gettyaburgs would annihilate hie army, and with his army deetroyecl there would be an end of /the rebellion at once. Therefore, he has adopted the shrewd and economical policy of avoiding general engagements, substituting strategy for hard fighting. In the natural kprder of things, shis army should be upon the •ilefensive ; but an attitude of defence is a con .fession of weakness, while the disadvantages, ;both of a moral and military nature, attach ing to it, are such that except in peculiar cases 'it is assumed only -from necessity. That no such necessity exists for General lam in this instance is no fault .of General Mia&nn, or of the War Departtnent.. For such is the nftitire of the ground in Virginia, intersected with mountain ridges and nu merous streams, that ;the obstacles an in vading army mug encounter are very diffi cult to be neutralized by mere' superiority of numbers. Aleice it has occurred that in several themorable instances when our generals haVe apparently been " mas ters of the situation," the real 'advan tages have rested with, the enemy. As the Army and Navy ,Totenca of laet week said: "As a generil rule, the belligerent that boldly seizes, the initiative will reduce his adversary t 4 follow his lead, for there are few commanders that have the audacity displayed by TURENNE, who, when his op ponent, Illomucucum, 'passed to the left bank ,of the Rhine for the purpose of in vadineAlsace, disr,egarded tho initiative of his adiersary, and himself crossed to the right bank, thus obliging Mown/mania to beat a hasty retreat back again." Although it was by feigning to make a movement precisely - similar to this, that General MEADE compelled EWELL to re• - cross the Rapidan on the 10th of the pre sent month, he would scarcely, in imitation of Tununna's audacity, have dared to carry out the ,counter-movement;"for the risk would far outweigh the advantages. I is because General LEE appreciated this fact thoroughly, that he ventured upon an advance that carried him so far from his• base. He felt that Richmond at all events is now in no risk of capture ; he believed that we bad no force at present to menace his line of communications ; he thought that he was safe in once more assu ming the initiative ; and he believed that, should the worst come to the worst, he will at all events have gained the import ant advantages of dragging the war again to the.very threshold of our capital, (if not upon the soil of a loyal State,) and thus postponing for several months, perhaps, the inevitable fate of the rebellion. How can his. plane be most effectually Circumvented ? 'General MEADE has given the answer. We have every confidence,that this answer will satisfy the nation, and compel the rebels to remain upon, the defensive for some time to come ; for, as in the battle of Gettysburg, his indomitable energy and splendid fighting capacities were shown, so in the battle of Bristow Station he has given evidence that, as a strategist; he is fully able to cope with LEE. Gen. Rosecrans , Successor. Major Gen. GEORGE H. THOMAS, the successor of Gen. ROSECRANS to the com mand of the Army of the Cumberland, is spoken of as a splendid officer, and, indeed, the noble manner in which he acquitted him self at Mill Springs, Stone River, and re cently at Chiekamatiga, where his single di vision foiled the manmuvres of BRAGG'S en tire army, must entitle him to the highest credit. The Naiional Izaelligencer, several weeks ago, said of him : "lie was in the regular army for twelve yean without being absent a day from his post. Just before the breaking out of the war he ohiained twelve months' leave of absence, but before the expiration of three months of the time Fort Sumpter was fired upon, when he re turned to duty, where he has been ever since, without being absent a 'single day." This is high praise, but assuredly not undeserved. An officer of the regular .service, who has long enjoyed the acquaintance of Gen. TnomAs,r..states that he was eighteen years in the army without being absent from his post. The following anecdote, as serving to show his rare fidelity to the claims of duty, is eminently characteristic of the man : While our army _was lying MI Murfreesboro, Gen. TnomAs was asked when he intended to visit Nashville, thirty miles distant. " Why," he replied, " I have been trying for some time to find an excuse to go up there, but cannot-do it.- I am not sick; have duties here, and really don't know what excuse I could offer for going away." So it would seem that fidelity and courage are qualities not lacking in the composition of Gen. TnomAs ; and though he should pos sess but a tithe, of the dash and energy that have distinguishea Major Gen. GRANT, now his superior, he must win for himself a still piouder name in the annals of the Western army, and exercise a controlling influence in • moulding the issues of the Tennessee cam paign.' LBTTEB FROM "OCCASIONAL.", WASHINGTON, October 21, 1863. A copy of the Richmond _Enquirer of the 16th inst. contains an editorial on the terms of peace which the rebels will accept from the Northern mud-sills, and which I com mend to whatever may be left of the North ern sympathizers - with Southern treason. I will ask you to publish the article in con nection with my letter, and, therefore, have directed proof-sheets to be forwarded. From this all patriotic and reasonable men will perceive that there are but two roads to peace—either that - which is cleared by the bayonet and the cannon, or that which is consummated by Northern disgrace and ruin. The whole philosophy of the war is stated in this article of the Richmond En quirer. It must be fought out. The traitors themselves understand now, as they have un derstood from title first, that their fate must. be that of submission or of subjugation ; and one or the uther of these remits will be ac complished alone by force of arms. This fact does not prefigure a long war, because every day disenchants the Southern masses, dismays the rebel chiefs, and increases and crystalizes a Union sentiment in the seceded States. The article in the Richmond En quirer.is a wail, of agony ratherthan a threat of desperation,-and, added to the late elec tions in the Northern States, will go far to convince and convert hundreds of thouz sands who at first supposed that the exhibi tion of vigor and courage on the part of the traitor armies would induce the Federal Government to recognize the so-called Southern Confederacy, and complete the separation of the . Republic. This expecta tion dies in the presence of Northern unity and in the dreadful front of Southern devastation and decay. I had the plea sure yesterday to find a startling illus tration of this assertion in the reluctant testimony of a gentleman who, a little more than two Years ago, was one of the wealthi est, slaveholders in Mississippi. .He is the owner of two thousand acres of cotton land, ' and is "a fair type of that better class in • the South, which, with all its instincts against secession, was forced to yield to it, and is now reaping the black and bitter fruits of that mad and measureless acquiescence. The rebels first destroyed two thousand bales of his own cotton, and after them came the triumphant colemns of the con quefOra of Vicksburg, who completed the catastrophe by taking the cattle and other produce of this sometime magnate, and by declaring freedont to alibis slaves. Behold the sequel and the commentary. In the midst of this magnate's despair a plain Northern man comes forward and proposei to cultivate the, deserted plantation, ,to bring order out of chaos, to recall the negroes, and to make human beings of them, by paying them the wages 'of :white laborm of the liTirth. Aid all this upon the condition that the net profits should be divided equally between the two ; and the proposition was immediately and gratefully accepted. Now, is it not — clear to the commonest ming, that such a and such a resolution is the best for the slaveholder himself ? It calls to his aid economy, discipline, and business tact. It dissipates at once and forever the whole clamor of the Copperheads, that the libe rated slaves would run into the North to compete with white labor. -How long dO you suppose that, operated upon' by such facts and proofs as these, the fanatical de mands of the Richmond Enquirer will be permitted to sway the Southern people? Only a few months can pass before the wax will close in triumph;. as well by the' influ ence of,i3ur successful -armies as by the aw ful and irresistible march of unanswerable and eternal truth.

Rebel Steamers on the • Red River De: • strOyeth Rear Admiral Portrait has ladvised the Navy De• partment, under date of Cairo, October 7th, onboard the flagship Black Idawk, that, on the 7th instant, Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Jamas I'. Dournose having received information that a rebel steamier was tied up to the bank in the Red river, fitted out an expedition- under, the charge of Acting Chief Engineer THOMAS DOUGHTY, and twenty men, and Mr. HOBBS, which crossed over from the Mississippi to Red river. After great labor in , getting through the entanglement of the bushes and other under growth, Mr. DOUGHTY'S party got a sight of the steamer lying at the bank,, and he managed to get up to her and capture her.' A few moments afterward he was enabled to capture another one, and found .himself .in possealion of two steamers and nine prisoners. One of the prisoners was an aid 'to the rebel General TAYLOR. The rebel officer had been sent up expressly for the lest steamer, (the'-Fulton,) a very fine boat to ferry troops across the Atchafalaya, and the other was one of the few boats the rebels could get provisions by from the seaboard. Mr. DOUGHTY, finding that he could not get the steamers over the bar and out of the Red river, set fire to them and burned-thera up. This, the Admiral says, is a great lots to the rebels at this moment, as it cuts off their means of operating across that part of the Atchafalaya where they lately came over to attack Morganza. This capture will deter others from coming down the Red river. The affair was well managed, and the officers and men composing the expedition deserve great credit for the share they took in it.' The Hospitals and Invalid t;orps. The Board of Hospitals have reported the general results of their examination of eoldiere for the In valid Corps. They found a large proportion of the weld mestere, cooks, nureee, and clerks unfitfor field iervice, and very many not even , proper subjects for the first battalion. The guards were generally the most able-bOdleemen about the hospitals. They find that soldiers "reported for duty " are not lent from the hospitals direct to their regiments, as re quired by the War Department orders. In very many instances months elapse between the soldiers' leaving the hospitals and joining their regiments. Some men have passed the greater por tion of their enlistment in travelling from hospitals to convalescent oampa, and from convalescent camps to hospitals. The board say they have taken pains to instruct the medimil officers as to the manner of completing companies of the 211 Battalion of the In valid Corm so as in time to form a satisfactory hospital corps, by adding men qualified for hospital service, and discharging those found physically -un able to perform any duty. They are constrained to report that they .did not find one medical officer fully acquainted with the general order governing the organization of the In valid Corps, nor did they find in any hospital a (tom plate invalid roll. . Duties en Xmporta to Venezuela. Information has been officially commueiaated to the State Department, that bye decree of the Go vernment of Venezuela of the 6th of September last, the duties on imports to that country have been in creased 2S per 'cent—the decree to take effect at the end of 60 days.- On goods imported from the United States this additional impost is declared to be tem porary, and its proceeds are pledged strictly to the payment of a loan of three hundred thousand dol lars, which has recently been authorized by that Government.

There was considerable fighting; but it was not attended with much loss on our aide. General Lee, it is "pcisitively stated, was at War— renton on Monday, and had formed in line of battle and posted his artillery. ' Our troops moved steadily on intwo columns. Up to eight o'clock yesterday morning there was no cannonading heard on our front. General Buford's , division,which toot the road through Thoroughfare Gap, made a reconnoissance, and reported that they found no enemy in force. ; A locomotive had come up on the Manassas Rail. road as far as Gainesville, showing hat` the line of railroad was unbroken. General Custer reports that in the engagement on Monday we drove the rebel cavalrifrom Gainesville to beyond Buckland Mills, live miles 'westward. There our troops encountered a rebel-force of in fantry and artillery drawn up in line of battle, whioh was at least a mile in length. Davis" cavalry bri gade and battery were, at one, time entirely.cut off, but he extricated himself. We lost about 200 in killed, wounded and missing, and also several wa gons,-one of which contained the official papers' of the brigade. At one o'clock yesterday afternoon the rebels were in force at Buckland Mills, four miles from Gaines ville. Our troops were advancing upon them. A battle was considered imminent Lieutenant Colonel rifolah, of the 9th _United States Militia, has received a commission in place of Colonel Hendrickson, now holding a similar com •mand in the Invalid Corps. The lieutenant colonel is William Chalmers, late of the 32d New York, and ex. Captain Williamson; f Company L, is major. LEES MOVEMENT UNCOVERED. Wannixavorr, Oct. 20.—The mystery of Lee's movement last week is uncovered ; a part of his army was at Culpeper this morning, being vigo rouily embarked on trains of care for the Southwest. Lamsx = 6n officer just in from the front brings the intelligence that-Lee's whole infantry force is across the Rappahannock. Some of his cavalry are still on this -side, and part on the other side. - The rebels tore up and utterly, destroyed the rail road between:Manaseas and the RaPpaliannook. Every bridge and culvert was ruined, and in some places the embankments were blown down. Construction trains left Manassas this morning to repair the — damage. So thorough has been the de• struction, that with all the force our engineer. can at present command, not more than one mile a day can be repaired. - Rebel prisoners taken by our • cavalry say that Lee , s deign war, by his attack lad week, to shove Meade back to the defenceerof Washington r then to turn and make the railroad impassable to ward Richmond for three or, four weeks, and to hurry with a superior force (lowa the Virginia load East Tenneesee Railroad, smash Burnside if he could, and then hurry back to' Meade's front —Times. [Correspondence of the Herald.] WASHINGTON, Oat. 20.—Deserters from the rebel lines bring us most cheering news to-day, which I understand to be confirmed by official despatches re. ceived by General ,IMLeade from Wasbington, and which fully accounts for the hasty withdrawal of Lee from the front. It appears that Burnside has foiced his way through the mountains of Bast Ten nessee and Southwest Virginia, and has actually got possession of the main line of rebel intercom. 'nucleation—the Virginia and East Tenneasee Railroad. The information, as I gather it, places Burnside in the Vicinity of Abington, about one hundred and seventy-five miles southwest of Lynch-' burg, the great rebel base of supplies.. He is said to be in poreeesion of the railroad for a -distance of forty or fifty miles, and has utterly destroyed it. He is working along up the railroad to wards Lynch but g. Lee, in his recent advance against Meade, with drew all the available meg he 99u14 g4ther from the line of tiliterctlitlo au."sing it perfectly secure so long •Z'Meade was in his front. , It now appears plain— what was before 4ficomprehensible— why, fileade was not allowed , to fight the rebels on.the Rappa hannock,. as he desired to do. but was not permitted to do by the authorities at Washington. By falling back towards Washington, he drew the enemy at least two dal s' march farther away from BUN. aide's field of operations. Lee, utterly ignbrant of Burnaide's movements or Whereabouts, fol lowed him. The discovery or Burnside's opera tions was made on the 165 b, and Wee 'telegraphed topordonsvllle, and, thence, despatched by 'peels' courier to Lee, reaching him on the 16th, coupled with imperative orders to fall backfimmediatelydand • with all haste, to Gondonsvllle, and reinforce the garrison at Lynchburg. His retrograde movement was commenced on Friday night, when the troops intended for Lynchburg were first withdrawn. These I understand to be the corps of D. H. Bilk, which was •at that time operating on our left. and was, therefore, nearest to Culpeper. - They arrived at Culpeper on Wednesday, where immense trains of cars were waiting for them, by which they were transported southward. The rest of the army followed snore leisurely; though with all reasonable expedition, taking•the,Warrenton turnpike and the dirt road via Greenwich: Stuart's cavalry retained MIMr position in our front until Sunday when they , fell back. . Oct. 21.--Advices from the Army of the Potomac say that- the right column advanced yesterday afternoon to within three Miles of War renton, and the left column as far as Greenwich Our advance. entered. Warrenton without much opposition, contrary to the general expectation. The conclusion is that the rebels are really retreat ing before obr advance. The railroad is intact to Manassas Junction and Gainesville, on the Manassas road, and the tele graph connects with the latter place. lIABBISBIJRG.

In 1822 he published anonymously a pamphlet entitled " Historic Doubts relative. to the existence of Napoleon Bonaparte," in which he adopted, with singular skill, the Straus. sian method of dealing with Scripture narratives, to prove the non.existence, in turn, of Napoleon.

Be was a leader in a successful effort to revive the study of Aristotelian logic at Oxford ; following in this , in the footsteps of Ooppleaton, who was his tutor.

HONORS TO THE RcraslAllB.—At a recent meeting of City Councils, a resolution was unani mously adopted to tender the hospitalities of the city to the officers of the Russian fleet now at New York. Under the resolution, the following com mittee were:appointed : A. 3. Harper, chairman ; C. P. Bower, Thos. F. Adams, John W. Leigh; Wm. M. Baird, of Common Council, and Messrs. John P. Wetherill, Henry Davis, John Q. Ginnodo, A. J. Catherwood, and Jas. L. Barron, of Select Pannell. On Tuesday afternoon this committee; excepting one or two members, proceaded to New York city for the purpose of formally presenting to Admiral bissovikkthe resolution■ of the Council, These were handsomely engrossed on parchment, and signed by the proper officials. - Yesterday the committee, in company with Mayor Opdyke and a similar committee from Portland, Maine, in accordance with previous arrangement, visited the flagship of the fleet in a revenue cutter which had been placed at their -disposal. The Ad miral received the committee - , as they entered his ship, with remarkable cordiality. A full brass baud, part of the vessel , / crew, played the Star-Spangled Banner as the party appeared. Their playing of our national hymn was rendered with flue effect, and equalled the performance of our own most cele brated bands. The Russian and American - flags were run up simultaneously, and the usual salute in honor of the Strangers fired from another vessel of the fleet. The Admiral was surrounded by his as sistant . officere, the marine corps presented arms, and the entire crew displayed in their movements a distinguished respect for the visitors. At the invi tation of the Admiral, the company were invited to his cabin. When all had assembled around the table on which luxury had spread out an inviting feast, our committee proceeded to dispose of the direct object of their visit. Mr. Harper thus ad dreseed the Admiral and the officers about him assembled Adtirira/ and Officers of the Aussion Fleet: GENTLEMEN : The city of Thiladelphia, through its representatives in Councils, has appointed a committee, _consisting of the gentlemen to whom you , havejust been introduced, to tender to you the hospitalities of our atty. In doing so, permit me to observe that this invitation is not a mere formality. W e are here, gentlemen, to express the earnest wish of our people. Philadelphia is. the second city of this great country. Its people are eminently the representatives of the Union sentiment of the na tion. Divided as the country now is by intestine war. struggling to crush the efforts of a malignant but formidable faction, who are seeking to destroy the Government-and build up in its stead a Go vernment of their own, based upon slavery; when the nations of the earth are viewing with intense in terest the progress of the struggle, it is highly . gra- Allying to our people, and I tnink I may speak not only tor Philadelphia but for all loyal people within - the bounds of our country, to - welcome to our shores the representatives of the great and friendly Power of Russia. Other nations with whom, in times past, our intercourse has been much greater, have -not -merely stood aloof in this hour of our trial, but have secretly connived with our enemies. and basely sought by treachery to achieve the destruction of our glorious Republic. These same nations, fear ing for their own supremacy, a few years since com bined to arrest the onward progress of your great empire. Let us join hands, and united we may defy the arrogant assumption of these people to control the destinies of the world. Philadelphia is well worthy of a visit from you. Its harbor is a fine one, although not grand like the one in which your vessels are now riding at anchor- Its public buildings are chaste and beautiful. Its manufactoiles exceed those of any other city in the world. Its people will welcome you with open arms, and be highly gratified to extend to you such hospitalities as they can bestow upon the representa tives of a friendly. nation.. Admiral Lissovski briefly replied in distinct Anglo Saxon, that be was deeply grateful to the Councils and citizens of Philadelphia for this expression of their regard towards - the Russian people.• He re} ceived their invitation to visit Philadelphia with gratitude and thankfulness, and he was happy to know that the policy of his Government had Jnet so warm an Approval from the people of the United States. The sympathy between the two nations he hoped might . king exist, and increase with years. [Applause.) I The Portland Council committee thigh addressed the Admiral, expressing a high regard for the Go verninent of the Czar, and extending likewise an in vitation to visit that city; to which he replied, it would afford him much pleasure. Mayor Opdyke then informed the Admiral of the appointmentof a committee of - citizens of New York, to arrange a ball in honor of their Russian guests, and asked them to - appoint a time when it would be most con venient for them to participate. The 6th of No vember was fixed upon. The formality of speeches being - over, the Ad miral invited his visitors to drink with him a toast to a man whom he admired, as he knew all present likewise did—" The President of the United States." This elicited three ch'eers from the Russians.- Mayor Opdyke proposed "The Czar of Russia," which was , also greeted with cheering, and the band upon the deck meanwhile played Russian and American airs. The cordiality displayed -on the vessel, on the part of gilts officers, was of the most genuine and plea sant character, and cannot soon be forgotten by any of the participants. The Admiral could fla upon no definite time to visit Philadelphia, but would:do so, unless he were called away by orders from St. Peters. burg, which he was daily expecting. lie will pro bably visit the city with his fleet, and their appear ance in our waters will be hailed with pleasure by all our citizens. - TEE RACES AT SUFFOLK PARK.—The second day 4 racing of the . fall meeting of the Suf folk Park Association took place yesterday. Very• few persons were in attendance, and a third of those present were thieves and threecard•montd players and their confederates, who publicly played their nefatious games without interference by the pro- praetors of the track, although a slight attempt was made by. one of the owner. of the course to atop these proceedings on the first day. The rowdy ism is carried on to such an extent that the respectable portion of the'community who take an interest in hori &racing are obliged to remain at home, rather than associate with the rogues who have so largely attended these two races. - - - We trust that a sufficient number of the police force will be on hand at the next race to prevent these degraded thieves and gamblers from carrying into effect the purpose which they all go there for. The three.mile race was rub yesterday between the. gray colt "Thunder," 4 yearn old, bred in Kentucky, but now owned by Major Hogan, of St. Lawrence Montreal, Canada; and Mr. Field's (of Ken tucky) black colt 'Blackbird " " Thunder " was the favorite in the evening before the race at two to one, but recovered his standing before the start, his backers giving way for stiffer terms, and, in one in stance, Mr. Madann, of "Flora Temple " celebrity, took up Tommy Patten, the young jockeyrs offer, of $lOO to $9O. Even young Boyle offered $BO to $7O, and this completely scared the betting men, who thought the gray must be a good three miler and no mistake, when thejockeys came out so strong in favor of him. The result proved they Were right in their opinion Of the Canadian, for he won both heats easily; 011patrick leading froni the start in both cases i witti "Blackbird," and E. Rafferty coming up with "Thunder;" and passing him at the half:mile post of the third mile, notwithstanding Gilpatrials ad ministered strong doses of the whip and spur to the black colt in coming down the home-stretch. A novel and most valuable innovation for the Fetter in racing usage took place, - in, the fact that Mr. James A. Valentinea gentleman who is well known as a great patron, of the turf—was in stituted sole judge, and his Niftiest's,'" prompt and de cided action, added largely to the faith with' which his decisions and directions were.received.

They cannot cheat it, nor starve it, nor. deprive it of aleeo, nor lire it out, nor make ihvbands• weary. It is a worker that is a match for the most unwearied and avaricious manufacturer. At 'lest .I: am thankful that there is a Machine. Woman that cannot be op. pressed nor kept in suffering)' - " We may also state, in this connection, that Mr. Beecher has set an example 41n. his own family, which me are glad to find being followed by a num ber of heads of families in this-city, not excepting the most fashionable and elite ; -we allude to his doing tbe sawing for the family himself, almost en tirely, for recreation and amusement. This again,- the ladies will eay, is glorious in Mr. Beecher, and we agree with them in the opinion: However we might differ from Mr. B. in the abstract theology of his well-constructed sermons, we have but one opinion about his theories for making home happy, and that•isi that they are unexcepthanable. Yes; the world.renowned" pastor of Plymouth Church; Brooklyn, is not above taking his place in his par lor, surrounded by his family, and performing the part of' a first class seamstress, as apart of the so cial, programme for making his home a paradise. To hear him talk, as we have, about this-little do mestic arrangement, one would suppose that a Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine was as;-ladle- penisable to the happiness of a house as -a- baby. Here, again, we take the liberty of quoting from Mr. BeecherM printed opinion. He says: "Now, sewing is the family amusement. Our 'Wheeler & Wilson is played on a great deal more than our steinway piano, and is th.e "cause, too, of more real music than is ever got out of that instru ment', The piano, itkwill thus be seen, is made to play second fiddle in Mr. i3eecherts house to the Sewing Machine. We might , multiply extracts from other dbtinguished sources, ad infinitum, to 'corroborate Henry Ward , Beecherts exalted estimate of the su periority of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine, were it necessary to do so. The best plan, however, of learning what these admirable instruments are capable of accomplishing, and the practical music of their merry clatter, is to visit their elegant sales rooms, No. 704.Cffestnut street, and see them in ope; ration. Avery commendable rule adopted by Messrs. Wheeler & Wilson is to instruct gratuitously in the use of their machines, girls mho apply to them for that purpose, whether they wish to purchase a ma chine or not. "TicorLn's " RESTAURANT, aR we are inclined to designate the popular Dining Saloons of Mr. J. W. Price, southwest corner of Fourth and 'Chestnut streets. If success may, be correctly in. ferred from unquestionable popularity, then Mr. Price is one of the most successful business men in our city. His elegant saloons, we venture to say, are by more gentlemen who are accustomed to.first-class living than any others in the hand of a single proprietor in the United States. This un paralleled popularity, moreover, has not been spas modic, it has been a thing of growth ; and so steadily, and we may say rapidly, has been its growth that if be continues to enlarge his establishment during the next two or three years as be has done in the last, the ,square from Fourth to Fifth will probably be known from one end of it to the other 'as "Prices Dining 'Rooms." However this may be; it is quite certain that to.tiay Mr. Price, as a provider of: good dinners and suppers, whether at his own saloons, public banquets, or for private entertainment at the houses of bin patrons, stands without a rival in Philadelphia. To quote a sporting phrase, Price has got "the inside track," and we are much mis taken in the tact, talent, and past history of the man if he does not continue to distance all cow• .pettors-just as long as he may please to do so. The reasons are, that his tables are better served than any other in the city, both with eatables and drink ables, and the charges are reasonable. FRESH.

Go EARLY. —The demand for pictures - at' Wenderoth & Taylor's, Nos. 912, 914, and 916 Chest nut street, has become BO great that they are obliged to ask their friends to call < upon them for sit ,tinge as early in the day as possible. This is especially important for children's pictures. They commence operating at '8 o'clock A. llg.

BECOMINGLY DRESSED.—That - the ma jority of women-prefer being fashionably dressed is a fact that the universal wearing of high l,onnets has tended firmly to establish ; and it is an eatra mdinary one, since the majority of women are, at the same time, well aware that the eyes of those they dress to gladden invariably prefer the " be comingl, to the fashionable." Every man, also, is fond of being well dressed; and it is on this ac count that we recommend him to the Palatial Clothing Emporium of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut street, where the'finest assortment`of fall garments in the city is kept constantly on hand. • CORNRRS.—Corners have always been popular—they are a great institution. The chink= ney corner is endeared to all. The corner cupboard! A snug corner in.a mill ! Who objects to such a thing A corner in a woman's heart ! corner in tfie Temple of Fame ! But we go a little further than the corner, and advise all our readers to pro. cure their wearing apparel , at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnutstreet l just above the corner of Sixth.
