With me in the halls of the Legislature Last winter and seen him engaged in the great moral battle that raged, when he "bruised the serpent's head under his heel," (and we proucum end intend to bury its carcass .out of eight forever in November,) you woilld not hesitate a moment inyour.choice between him ,and his .opponent. I speak this to our so called Democratic friends. Mr. &Melt then spoke with great effect, of the principles represented by 111. r. Scovel, and closed amid great applause.

Grearem has arrived at Chattanooga, while Gen. Roseanne has arrived at Cincinnati. In a patriotio :speech, incident to the ovation which he received, Gen. Rosearane took occasion to refer to the' recent negational reprirre about Mal in a very peculiar and effective manner. The war in the Southwest is progressing in interest. The re. bele Were moving to the left of Otiattanoogaond rumors were current that. Rome and Atlanta had bean attaaired by our' forces. The enemy were en gaged at Canton,: Miss., by McPherson, and re. treated Wetting 200 prisoners. The rebel statement tii4t out.:forces were retreating to the Big Black is thmi,iintradieted. jefferson Davis was on his way to !Enterprise, Miss. According to Washington deatiatchbe, Bragg has not received further rein fereements, stories to thateffect income of the rebel papers having an obvious design. Mobile news re ports Vicksburg deserted of all but a moderate gar risen. A special despatch to The Press mentions Logan on the march, and Sherman is advancing along the road from Corinth towards Chattanooga. in East Tennessee, is still active, and by a few more raids on the Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, beyond Abingdon, will make sure his oc cupation of East Tennessee, and prevent, for some time to come, any • movement from Lee's army to Virginia Southwes t GLENERAL BACKS' base' of supplies is now at Bieria, Louisiana, which disproves the rumor that he had sailed with an expedition to the Rio Grande. The available rebel lone in Texas will not exceed ttn_thousand men, and . these have been thrown toward the Louisiana line. Dihcoutent and destitu tion-Were said to prevail. As a last resort, it was feported the rebel Tonna would ask French protec 'ann. Diettubances were continually occurring be. tween the Mexicans and Tekaus. Five Union gun -Write were nt the mouth of the Rio Grande. flan rebel privateers are again becoming a prom', ierit topic of news. A suspicious vessel has been - seen off filaine, and a Boston bark has been taken., at Table Bay. Semmes declared that he would hang an American captain for displaying the na tional flag alongside the Alabama in port. A LARGE part of the wealthy population of Nash ville were under Breckiurldge, in Bragg'i army, at Ohielctimauga,. and out of sixteen hundred under that general thirteen hundred were killed. Three , fourths of the ladies of the Episcopal tJhurah are in mourning. • PROVOST . BILAASHAL 0 - ElfitßEM FELT telegraphs to GOvernor Seymour the correct quote of 'New York under the proclamation of 17th of October, as 60,171, and its deficiency as 47,651, so that the whole num bei to be raised to avoid a "new draft will be over 105,000. Tna rebel papers expect soon a renewal of opera tions from the besieging forces before Charleston. Gen, Gilmore, it is said, has his batteries perfected, and will ere long reopen upon the city. A Not reconnoissance to Fort Sumpter was driven off. GOV. BRAMLETTEE sends irom Frankfort, Ky., a dedpatah to the. Democratic committee at Buffalo excusing himself from attending the meeting there, in which he says: - "We now have a formidable raid upon us, our banks are robbed and towns sacked within forty miles of the capital. No man," says the Governor, "can think of quitting his post while this continues." • THE Governors of. Massachusetts, Maine, Con neotiout, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Wisconsin, have issued proclamations recom mending that Thursday, November 26, be observed 'as a day of thanksgiving. The same day has been `recommended by the President. THE indications seem unmistakable that our ar mies are about 'to assume a vigorous offensive in 'all parts of the general campaign. • 'A NIUSIBICR of captures are noticed in reports to the Secretary of the Navy. " • Chattanooga. That Chattanooga is impregnable against . . assault it is not possible to question. If proof were required on this pointothe fact that General BBAGG, notwithstanding the ',exigencies of his position, has remained in active ' since the battle of. Chickamauga, is , sufficient evidenee that he has no disposi :tiori tg hurl his weakened columns against our well-constructed earthworks. What, - then, can be his designs, and what are the reasons of his delay in darrying them into execution? Perhaps the following brief, but significant paragraph, from the Atlanta Appeal of the 14th instant, may help us to :comprehend the intentions of BRAGG : Beyond the fact that an important move ment of the Army of Tennessee was evi dently about to be made, - we have been una ble to learn anything frOm the latest passen ger arrivals from above. That' a pto gTamme has been decided upon, and would be at once put onfoot, is the concurrent testi- mony of all, but in what direction no ink . lug could be obtained. The troops seemed overjoyed at the prospect of beingear ly put to work." What -is the nature of the movement thus dimly foreshadow- ed ? It is possible that a flank movement may be attempted ; in other words, General `l3nAoo may attempt to repeat the move mint against Chattanooga, which General GRANT practised so successfully against Vicksburg severing General Trcoarast communications, and completely investing his position. . It is an accepted principle, we believe, in military service, that no position should be too strongly fortified ; for in that case the enemy, instead of use- lessly assaulting it, will assuredly attempt to outflank it, and there are very few if any positions which cannot be outflanked. Had Vicksburg not been half so impreg , nable to assault, it might now yet have been in rebel possession ; and so, if Chat tanooga were not so thoroughly invested with fortifications and rifle-pits, BRAGG would very probably attempt to carry it by storm, and would most assuredly be repulsed. Certain that a disastrous defeat would fol low such an insane attempt, it seems pro bable that he will make a move, which, hazardous though it undoubtedly is, seems to offer a little more chance of success. To attempt a flank movement seems to be the only alternative remaining him. His victory. has left him in a desperate situation. He must do something ; for continued inactivity can only mean the destruction of his own army, and the fall of the " Confederacy." As JEFFERSON DAvis said to the soldiers of BRAGG'S command_: " Our cause depends on you, and happy it is that all can rely upon your achieving whatever, under the blessing of Providence, human power can effect." Why, then, it may be Asked, This position is sohazardous, does he not assume the offensive -at once ? So he might have done, perhaps ; but, if we may judge from all the indications, he has been guided by the course of events in Virginia. General LEE, in his recent mysterious movements, seems to have had two purposes to subserve. Ono was to gain time and delay General /Inman before Washington, by seeming to menace the capital, while in reality he was ,dctaching an entire division of his army to send to Georgia ; and the other, perhaps, was to induce the Washing ton authorities to call on General GRANT for reinforcements to resist the anticipated rebel advance. The first purpose seems to have been gained, for we, hear thatLONGSTREET's division has joined.Bneasi. This, therefore, wae the division whose'arriVal in Charleston we noticed several days since as a singular occurrence, and we now have the explana tion of it. 'BRAGG, then, having been heavily rein forced by LEE, and, possibly, by BEAURE GARD—for a victory at Chattanooga would .be worth to the rebels a score of victories at Charleston—and having no alternative left, is about to make an aggressive movement. But it will not be such a movement as will at present compel him to abandon his line of retreat via Atlanta, at present the only line he has. In our opinion he will 'throw a portion of his forces across the Tennessee river, to intercept General BuuNsjuE. The latter, we think, is in greater danger than General Tnomes; for, not only is he liable to be intercepted by BnAoo,,bnt, likewise, at tacked in the rear by LEE, who, having de stroyed the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, does not fear an advance of General MEADE Meanwhile. Because of these facts we are - led to conclude that General BR.AGG Make no UMW:UM:a against Chattanooga _until General BITRIMIDE'S corps has been effectually preVented from reaching that `post • If BurersinE can .be destroyed or put to fIight,•BILAGG can afford to abandon his t line of retpat through Georgia, for t he can then effect . a junction with And can operate agajnst Chattanooga withotft the hazard now threatening ihis communications. No doubt that is the object now sought to be accomplish ed, and fron the telegraphic. reports, that " the rebels are in motion," and:that " the rebel army in large force are moving to our left," it would appear that the enter prise has already commenced. That it Will be successful we do not greatly dread. It cannot be a surprise, and nothing but over whelming numbers will compel Gen. BITRN MR to abandon the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, and thus allow the armies of LEE and BRAGG to.effect a junction. The Use of Torpedoes in War. One of the most marked results of the ' Present war has been the 'impetus it has given to the inventive skill of the country.. The records of the Patent Office, we think, Will show that, notwithstanding the seces 'sion of the Southern States, and the conse quent interruption to trades and manufac tures in the remaining States, our inventors, as a class, have never been more active or better remunerated. As a natural cruise quenee, unusual attention and research have been devoted to the improvement of the various implements and appliances of war, and the success has been such as not only to spread the fame of American inventors throughout the world, but almost to revolu tionize the whole theory and art' of war. The triumph of our monitors was the first great shock that frightened slow-going Eu rope out of its propriety, as the ten-column Parliamentary debates in the London Times, on the question of harbor defences, most lu dicrously showed. The destruction of Fort Sumpter, at a distance Of over two miles, and the bombardment of Charleston at five Miles distance, was another powerful shock 10 transatlantic sensibilities ; while. the sue.. cess of the Ferris gun, which, it has• been demonstrated, will throw a ball over eight miles, and the not-less,..wonderfal success of the "Greek fire" experiment, have com pletely confounded our French and British friends.- Formerly it was our practice . to turn to Europe for instruction in the art of war, and during the Crimean war this Go vernment despatched a commission thither for the purpose of making observations that might some day be turned to' - aclyrantage. Now, however, the case is exactly the re verse. Older nations, that have made war their sole occupation and their sole road to . preferment and glory—whose history, in fact, without the record of their wars, would be like the play of " Hamlet ". with Hamlet omitted, and that may be said to have grown gray with the panoply of the warrior about them—must now turn to these shores to be taught how to build their ships and how to make their guns: In this department of in vestigation, at least, the . loyal States of the , Union have outstripped all competitors. • But We have yet much to learn and to ac complish. Ample . opportunity yet remains for our inventors to achieve distinction. No single munition of war can be named that is incapable of further improvement, and some seem to have almost wholly escaped atten tion. Among the latter the torpedo may be included; for while we are aware that.seve , ral devices of this description have been pa tented since the outbreak of the war, the fact that we never hear of anything being accomplished by them would justify the in ference that 'they have not fulfilled the ex pectations of their originators.- In another column of our paper to-day we publish a . communication on this subject from an emi nent French engineer, whose experience in "the matter whereof he speaks must entitle his opiniOns to consideration. Our corre spondent says " The , idea of a. torpedo, - which one might say to have been received front the Greqks, is a weapon that will ter minate maritime wars, and stop those-extra . vagant and ruinous constructions coated with iron, under the names of monitors., iron clads, gunboats, etc." Again, he says in Conclusion " When the art of construct ing and fixing torpedoes . becomes known,_ the blockade of ports will be an impossi bility. This, sooner or later," torpedoes are destined to accomplish." Supposing no further improvements should be Made in the model of our war ships, or in the ma • terial composing them, the inference of our Correspondent "V " is undoubtedly, cor rect in theory. In practice we are not so sure that maritime wars, and the main tenance of blockades, would ,become impos sible things. WhateVer may be done by - one belligerent May be done by another ; and in naval engagement's,• instead of the contest being siniplyiron-clads against iron clads, the additional question would be pre sented of torpedo versus torpedo. The difficulty of constructing , these terrible weapons of offence is one easily, surmounted. The great tronble lies in affixing them in the desired position. It was because of this that the attempt to destroy the_ New Iron sides so signally failed. How can this difti '. culty be obviated ? It seems to us that had one or more rafts been moved along side of the mammoth frigate, to pro vide for any such a contingency as that which occurred, the rebels would have been still more completely baffled in their ander:dons purpose. Why, in fact, may not torpedoes be kept at a respe,ctful distance from any vessel, wooden or iron -clad, by the same simple deviee, supposink no better means of protection shall be devised ? Per haps, if we were acquainted with the secret our correspondent mentions having commu nicated to the Government some time ago, we should entertain a :more exalted opinicin of the destructive capacities of torpedoes, and, perhaps, agree with him, that they are • destined one day to do away with naval blockades. At present, however, the expe rience of the war, both' upon our side' and that of the rebels; has shown.that they are a most unmanageable and unreliable weapon of offence, and the hypothetical ones be lieved to be planted infite harbor of Charles ton have done us quite as much damage, as any that our vessels have actually encoun tered. Some weeks ago, it will be recollected, we printed a communication 'from Captain. JURGEN L. JURGENS, a skilful• Danish offi cer, descriptive of - a war vessel, modelled upon an entirely "new principle, and em bracing many novel features, which he had invented and submitted to the < E`Tavy De partment. The naval examining board re ported favorably of Captain JURGEN'S plans, and it is probable that a vessel will be con structed in accordance with them. One of the . most valuable featnres of the ship is a TOW of pointed guard wings, projecting from its sides beneath the water, to ward off the assaults of rams or other hostile con trivances. In Captain JURGEN'S language, "the said wings, when not in use, lay in parallel positions against the, sides of the ship, so as not to retard her Motion ; but they may be tbrown outward at any suitable angle to sheer oil the attack of a ram or other vessel, or to grapple and impede her motion and manoeuvres." It seems to us that the same principle might be taken ad vantage of so as to guard a vessel from con tact with torpedoes, as these contrivances are now constructed. Of course they may be greatly improved in the future, and some systematic means may be, found for attach ing them beneath the vessel or other object sought to be destroyed'; but with all defe rence to the views of our much-respected correspondent, we cannot but think that the day is very far distant, when torpedoes will - put an end to naval warfare, or render the establishment of a blockade impossible. A CINCINNATI PAPER, upon what au thority we, do not know—upon none, we hope—states that General Rosacnnws was removed because "he is greatly discouraged about the war;affd believes that the seceded States can never be - brdught back by the vigorous policy which the Government has adopted. He no longer fights with any ardor, but simply from a sense of duty, considering, each victory a "useless waste of blood. He has no confidence in his successes..', All these details come to me from a person very dear to RosnanAlm, to whom the General 4iTlOte that he saw in the defeat of - Chickamauga the finger of God." Could, we believe this trim, we should'say that Gen. RosacnAns' removal is more fortunate for the Army of the Cumberland th an any of its victories, and a greater blessing to the country than even the appointment of General GRANT to chief command in the *est. If General Roi 34- CRAM has Ceased to fight with any Fgort the repulse at Chickamauga need' not be ascribed to the interference of Providence. But let the Copperhead:: journals take care lest, in using the name of a soldier; long trusted by the people, to injure the Govern ment, they find themselves convicted of Blander. Certainly, General Roam:mans' late speech in Cincinnati gives no color to this report. NEW YOITE, NEW JERSEY, AND DEL!, WAItE must be added to the illustrious roll of States pledged to the Union. The canvass in each of these State is active. Elsewhere we report a great meeting in - Camden coun ty, addressed by omhtent and loyal speakers. In New York the friends of the Govern ment are working . - well. In Delaware no loyal man can hesitate between Mr. 0 rrtatmis Bnowti ; bitterly opposed to the war, and all his life a friend of the men now leading the rebellion, and Mr. N. B. Sittpacas, whose devotion to the Union it would be hard to surpass. , IN MAINE, New Hatupsaire, and Connecticut there is a Democratic paity anon as has not exulted In New England for yeara—atrong, energetic, full of faith, and feared by its enemies.

The Tennessee left the Rio Grande on the 10th inst. On her return, off the Rio Brazes, she captured 'the British actiooner Friendship, loaded with munitions of war, from Havana, and at the same . time chased another schooner, which was tired and blown up when three miles distant from the Tennessee.

Hosecrans arrived in this city at about 11 o'clock this morning, and was escorted to the Burnet House by an immense crowd of eitizens.l He was enthusiastically welcomed throughout the entire line of march. On arriving at the hotel, General Rosecrans was introduced to the assemblage by .Tudge Stever, who said that his fellow-citizens of. Cincinnati apprecia ted the work he had accomplished for hie country, and assured him of their unshaken confidence in him. While he has never dishonored his native State, the State has never forgotten him. Alluding to his removal from the Army of the Cumberland, he said the people would require the records upon which that act was based to be produced. SPEECH OF GEE. ROSHCRANS Gen. Rosecrans returned his sincere thanks for the expression of sympathy and respect which this public reception implied. While he felt flattered by it, he could not forget that the heart of the people did not go out to individuals alone. It is the prin. ciple for which we are contending—the struggle for national life—that produces such assemblies. He milled the people not to forget their duty. fo.the Government, whatever might occur to individuals. The question as to how he had been used he desired to leave for time to answer. ' "Some friends of mine," he said, "in New York are very solicitous about my health. The Army of the Cumberland thinks I am well enough, and so do I. As to the quantity of opium I have taken they will have to consult my druggist. The New York and Washington papers have said that Generals Crittenden and McCook intended to make charges against me. They-assure - me that they regret ex ceedingly that such false reports should be started." Gen. Boseorans also remarked - that since the bat tle of Chickamauga he had received a letter of ap proval from the President for his notion in that affair. He was satisfied that, whatever charges ap peared ,in the -Eastern papers againat7,him, the Go. vernment was in no way responsible for them. He expressed bis readiness to do whatever the Govern meut desired of him. At the conclusion of his speech, cheers were given for Gen. liosecrans and the Army of the Cumber land. The welcome given to Gen. Rosecrane Wail earnest and hearty throughout. VIRGINIA, Brisk Cavalry Skirmishes with the Ene- my—Pennsylvanians Engaged [Correspondence of the New York Herald. 3 ARMY O] THE POTOMAC, Oct. 24.—0 n Thursday last a portion of. General Gregg's cavalry. division bad a skirmish with the enemy near Fayetteville. The 2d Pennsylvania Cavalry, Colonel Brinton, was piinoipally concerned in this fight and behaved nobly. The rebel cavalry was discovered at a short dis• 'lance beyond Fayetteville, and the 2d Pennsylvania was sent forward to attack them. The rebels were driven some distance when our cavalry encountered an infantry force, and were compelled to fall back. In this fight the gallant Major Taggart, of the 24 Pennsylvania .Cavalry, wee wounded while heading a charge with a squadron. His wound was a severe one in the knee, requiring amputation of the right leg. The Major was removed to Warrenton, and died this morning. . - Yesterday our forces again attacked the enemy, and again drove their cavalry until we encountered their infantry. In this fight the let Maine and 2d Pennsylvania Cavalry were engaged. These regi ments belong to General Gregg's cavalry division. Our losses were slight, although the skirmishes were brisk. To-day portions of both Bufordhi 'and Gregg , s cavalry divisions were engaged .with the rebel cavalry and infantry,- and were driven back to Liberty, beyond Bealton Station. , The main portion of our army is lying quiet, and there is no immediate prospect of a forward move ment. This morning the Bth Pennsylvania Cavalry held the right of our advanced line at Freeman's ford, on the Rappahannock. When the attack:was made; a squadron of cavalry was held in reserve behind tie dismounted skirmishers of each regiment. The whole affair reflects credit upon the officers in com mand of our forces, while it is certain that we in flicted considerable damage upon the enemy. - CASUALTIES IN PRITNRYLVARIA CAVALRY.

The commanding general Is - at present deeply engaged in the prosecu tion of the administrative duties of his department. week will doubtless find him at the head of our advanced columns. New Iberia will doubtless be the base of supplies for Gen. Banks until some Texan seaport can be in duced to subserve that purpose. It is fiftytwo miles from Brasbear Oity in a direct line, and seven t3.two by the-Teche. It is the head of navigation for oulmary river steamers, although diminutive craft may penetrate to St. Martinsville, twenty miles above. The military telegraph of this depart ment has also its termination here. By the presence of a garrison force at this point, the enemy will be deprived 'of the benefit of the Petite Anse salt mines, which lie nine miles to the southwest. THE REBEL MILITARY FORCE. IN. TEXAS-HEENCH 137=3:021 The rebel military force in Texas, West of the Neucee river, was estimated at 2,200 effective men, and of this number probably two-thirds would aban don the rebel cause on the approach of United States troops. The rebel troops in the entire State: of Texas will not exceed 10,000 men, and of this number two-thirds are conscripts ; consequently the fighting material is not of the best kind. The strong fold of Texas is Galveston. It is now - garrisoned by fedi? regiments of rebels, under General Magruder. The defences are Anna works of some magnitude. The fortifications are case 'mated, but' without bomhproofs. The principal Work is the Tremont street battery, to the west ward of the city. There is a heavy battery on the point of the island, at the entrance' of Galveston harbor. On a point commanding the channel leading to the eityohere are two, batteries, reepeetively named Banthead and Magruder, and, on the opposite side, there is..aleo a very formidable fortification. The arms - Mentor Galveston consists of forty guns. The, guns axe mounted on oars leading to the fortifica linns, and so arranged as to-be moved from one point to another, as contingencies may require, and taken from the island if necessary. . In the garrison at Galveston great dissatisfaction has prevailed, Which led to open mutiny. Colonel lAuckett's. regiment recently threw down their arms, refusing duty,. as..they received little or no food. They, seized the heavy battery on the 'mint, tamed the guns on the city, and threatened to bombard it, un less food was furnished them.. The menace was suc cessful, and supplies of food were sent to the g son. On the 17th of September, the Union alders and crews of the captured steamers Clifton and. Sachem were put to work on_the fortifications of Galveston. The rebele have not a corporal's guard at Houston. The greatest number of ~Texas rebels have been thrown towards the Louisiana, line, under the command of Generale Taylor and Green. General Herbert has resigned in disgust. He thinks the Confederate cause is dead or dying. The people of Texas are daily expecting the occupation of the State by a Union army; but rather than have such an event occur they . would ally themselves to the French. As a. demur resort, the people have de termined, on the approach of our army, to ask French protection. MATAALODOS AND BEOWNSVILLE The sentiments of the people of Matamoros regard ing the probable occUpation of that city by the French were deeidedly of a pacific character. The citizens have no idea of opposing the French. The archives-of the State have been taken away, and everything in the shape of valuable effects prepared to move at the -first intimation of the approach of the French. The people of the line are look ing—with great anxiety for the occupation of the Texas side of the Rio Grande by United States troops. Disturbances are continually taking place betwen the Texan rebels and Mexicans on the line of the Rio Grande. The principal point of these hostile demonstrations is near Matamoros. Major Barideras, of the Texas rebel army, with a battalion- of troops, recently creased the Rio Grande, into Mexican territory, at a point near Geer' era, for the purpose - of capturing one Zapatt, in command of a body of Mexican troops, who, it was said; was employed by the United States Go. yonment. The rebel major, in his report of the pur suit, states that he succeeded in overtaking Zapati and his party, and captured them. Zapati was a refugee from Texas. Zapati was arrested and put into the guardhouse at Matamoros, but succeeded in escaping, and inducing the guard to flee with him. The Mexican Gen. Cortines, who some years ago was quite troublesome on the Rio Grande, ar rived at Matamoros on the loth ult. His arrival produced great excitement at Brownsville, as be had besieged that - city before, and has a pe culler hatred for Texans. Re brought with ardie 'Of his principal followers, comprising many of the most blood-thirsty vagabonds in Mexico. His 'movements were closely watched by the Texans; they anticipate a design on the part of the Mexican chief to cross the river. The rebel force in Brownsville is weak. In Cen tral Texas the rebel conscription had been enforced to its fullest extent. Men of all grades were forced into the ranks, and removed from their homes. This has produced great dissatisfaction among the leaders of the rebellion' who were forced into the ranks, they anticipating that their civil service would exempt them from the army. All the cotton in the State has been seized by the military authorities on Confederate account— the act being excused as a "military neces sity." The cotton is being transported to the Rio Grande and to Matamoros, to be sold to English blockade runners, or exchanged for arms and muni tions of war, brought into that port in steamers and sailing veseels. 'The commercial relations between Brownsville and Matamoros, notwithstanding the fact that there is a mutual 'hatred between the citi zens are the same now as before the rebellion. - UNION. GUNBOATS AT _THE RIO GRANDE. Five Union gunboats lay at the mouth of the Rio Grande, vigilagtly,eyeing,the contraband trade, and .offering proteffllon to Union . refugees. Nearly all goods' imported into .Texas were of Northern or lNlexican manufactuce. Very Yew English or French invoice., had been received of late. The Harriet Lane was 'at Galveston, Nit needed repairs which pould not be effected at that port. She was (muse oPiently-considered ueelesi by the rebels. - He states Oaten the forces in Texas are'conscripts.. Inclu ding the divisions of Kirby Smith and Magruder it is generally supposed that there are not.over 25:000 troops in the State. , Affairs on the Rio Grande.. Orem the New Orleats Eru Oct. 17 We have received copies of the Brownsville Flag of Sept 18 and 26, and Oat. 2, from which we clip the following items : ORR PATRIOTIC NRXICAIT VOTERS. [Atom the Brownsville Flag, Sept. 25.] Yesterday, when the Government wad' in great and urgent want of transportation ' and all the American teams were being pressed into service, our patriotic Mexican, draymen skedaddled for the woods, and hid their drays in the bush. it Is - a question if they would have run away , if an election was being held, end they had a chance to sell their votes for a bit of gingerbread. Will the people of Texas ever learn to treat as aliens those who shun all tbe duties of citizenship, and practise all the vices-common to the enemies of the Statel If the salvation of the country had been at stake, our pa triotic Mexican population `would not have lent a hand to save it:' IMPORTANT COTTON ,ORDEE, At a later hour yesterday we learned that Gov. Ruiz, of Tamaulipas, bad received -an order from President Suarez. commanding him, in the event of a landing on the Rio Grande by the French, to burn all the cotton in Matamoros which could not be sent into the interior, and to stop all cotton coming from itlonterey, and send it towards San Luis. This is a ye) y important matter, and it atlbsts thousands of ol _ cotton belonging to foreign, residents in Mexico. From the Mississippi and Beyond. The editor of the Mobile Register had a recent in terview with a gentleman from beyond the Missis sippi, whose opportunities are favorable for learn ing the condition of things there. • , The adcbunt he giVes of - the spirit of the people in Northern Louisiana is not so favorable as could be wishe4 but nothing- else than might be expected from the depressing influences which .have been operating upon them since the fall of Vicksburg. The news, from Sabine Pass, however, has had an encouraging effect, and that from Chickamauga must have a furtuer tendency in . the same direction. Week before last there Were eighty boats between Natchr z and Vicksburg,' bound up with troops. Only 5,0c0 Yankees were left at'Little Rock, and but a handfulat Vicksburg. It was said:that General Magruder gave each of the men engaged at Sabine Pass a silver medal, be sides a barrel of whisky among them, which was about equi6valent to a gallon apiece. -A correspondent from Houston writes : • We axe in fine spirits here, in Texas, especially since we have heard of Romeo:wan& defeat, and our brethren' on the other side of the Mississippi need •not borrow any trouble on our account, We think, over here, that , our cause and prospects .were never brighter than at present. In fact, the letters of Wit. Ham' a Rives and`Maury express our feelings in full concerning the final result, PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.

We cannot pronounce a positive opinion upon Vestvali-until we have the opportuni ty of seeing her again.

In another article we shall havemore to say of her capabilities. THE' GERMAN OeknA.—lt is welcome news to the large musical intelligence of Philadelphia that next week the German Opera will - be with us. This particular opera belongs to Carl Anschutz, by his genius, as an impressurio, and to Adolph Birgfeld, by his enterprise, as an agent; both are earnest musicians, devoted to the art, and we shall assuredly enjoy a company, a repertoire, and performance worthy of our desire. The Anschutz Opera has ap peared in Washington and Baltimore with great success, and has satisfied and developed the taste of those cities. This experience has been but a pre lude to its greater appearance at the Academy, with the prestige of all its old and recent gun. cesses. Next DlOnday will be the first night of the opera. Owing to increased expenses, the prices of admission have been raised, but every ticket will secure a seat. The subscription price for twelve , nights •is but ten dollars, and we are not surprised that already three thousand dollars have been subscribed. Mr. Anschutz's company is now -a much bettor one than ever, greatly strengthened by Madame Frederici, a new prima donna of merit, and Herr Heldman, who : is pronounced one of the very finest of German tenon. An establithed favorite, Ma dame Bertha Yohannsen, whose admirable perform ance of Eidetic is Well remembered, will also appear. Four new operas, which have not yet been per formed in America, will be presented: Ci-ounod's "Faust," a work o[ high merit and attraction ; " Euryanthe," which contains some Of the most ex quisite` passages of Weber; Spohr's "Jessonds," Mal Flotow's "Indra," "Fidelio,"" "Don Gio vanni," and "Der Freiechutz," will also be given, This prospectus is certainly brilliant. THE MUSICAL FUND RALL will doubtless be crowded on Wednesday night by the musical and fashionable, for Gottschalk, "the Prince of plan - Ws," as the bills say, fot the first time this season ; will display his marvellous powers of execution to the Philadelphia Puhlic.

It would be folly to attempt any higher eulogy upon the world-renowned Sewing Machine of Wheeler & Wilson (sold in this city at their elegant warerooms, No. 704 Cheatnut street), than the state ment of the fact, that wherever the Wheeler & Wilson .Sewing Machine has been exhibited for competition, either on this or'the other side of the Atlantic, it has, without a single exception, taken the highest premium. So true is this that wherever this compliment has been extended to any other maelini,, it may be taken as proof positive that the 'Wheeler & Wilson instrument was not , exhibited at all. This, in itself, is such a telling fact, that to multiply words about it, to people of intelligence, would be useless. Nevertheless, there are a number of incidental facts connected with this• favorite ma chine that the people ought to know, a few of which we call the attention of our readers to to-day, in the following order : • Ist. The yearly sales of the Wheeler & =Wilson Sewing. Machines (sold in this city at N 0.2704 Chest -nut Street) are larger than those of all the other sewing machines combined. 2d. The immense manufactory of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Company, at Bridgeport, COsnectieut, is one of the wonders of the world. it oc4ples upwards of four acres of ground, employs more than a thousand of the best workmen in the United States, and with the most improved ma chinery the Company find it impassible to supply the great demand for their machines in this country mid Europe. 3d. The Wheeler & Wilson Machine is an instru ment of infinite versatility in its operations. It will braid, cord, bind, tuck, gather, fell, and hem more beautifally , than any other machine in use; and by attaching a small arrangement called a trimmer," any kind of trimming may, be sewed on ~dresses without previous basting. dth. Bindings may be put on the edges of any kind of garment, hat, or cap, without any other adjusting than that performed by the machine itself:while in the act of sewing them on. sth. The Lock•Stifch, - made by-the Wheeler & Wil son Sewing Machine, is more durable and more beautiful than that made by any other, and has these advantages, that it presents the same 'appearance on both sides of, the fabric, and will not ravel. ..lt is also more economical, requirini One-third less cot ton than other hind of stitch. Again , : this beautiful stitch, being the same on both Wes, it is not necessary to use the extremely fine sewing cotton required by those machines which make,a stitch with a ridge on the under side that can cdly be concealed by a thread, too delicate and fine to beavordinary wear. .6th. The bobbin which holds the under thread in the Wheeler 6c •Wileon hiaohine is so constructed that when empty no care and very little time is re. quired to fill it. The, bobbins `_on the shuffle ma -chine, on the contrary, inquire tioirsiderable, ride in oiler to wind the cotton on them evenly, and it the winding b done by an inexperienced hand, the re. Cult is, the - thread will not unwind freely, and will break. 7th. The eimpliNly of, the Wheeler & Wilson Ma ohine renders its movements so easy that a child can work, the weight of the feet alone being suffi cient to move it. It will work with all kinds of sewing silk, cotton, or linen thread, and will sew all kind's of materials, from the thinnest gauze to the heaviest cloth or leather. It is used by thousands of tailors, dress-makers, hatters, cap makers, hoop- skirt manufacturers, shirt-makers, and seametreeies. 13th. For rapidity of motion, the Wheeler & Wil eon Machine excels all other's, a. has been demon strated a thousand times by comparlion. 9th. It is so noiseless in its operations thalcon venation may be carried on in the ordinary pitch of voice in a workroom where a more of machines are in motion. 10th. Another very great advantage that the Wheeler & Wilson Machine possesses over others Le found in the faot that the work on It is c irried on in the natural way, from left to right, which enables the operator to adjust the work more readily,' and without any change from the upright posture, while machines which carry the work from the operator require an inclination of the body (detrimental to the health) in order to adjust the material as it passes from under the needle. 11th. As an ornamental piece of workmanship, the Wheeler 84 Wilson instrument is worthy a place in the most elegantly, furnished parlor—a fact which reefers it peculiarly desirable and appropriate as - a. Wt. Some of the cases are of rosewood, walnut, or mahogany, furnished with sets of drawers for tbe reception of cottons, sewing silks, &c., and when the doors are closed there are few articles of furniture more exquisitely beautiful. For these and sundry other reasons, no household in the land is complete without a Wheeler & on Sewing Machine. mum They are within .reach of everybody, being made to suit all tastes and circumstances ; and the plainest in -finish, which costs '445, will work as well as one which costs $2OO. - Cut out the above facts, on our recommendation, and post them conveniently for future reference, and when you want the best Sewing Machine in the world, take our advice and go to the office of Wheeler & Wilson'. new agency in this City, KO. 704 Chestnut street, and it.

Gold did not fary much from 130, perhaps half per cent. either way. Late in the day a Weakness set in; orders to buy were generally withdrawn, and the price fell to 148%.
