WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28; 1863 THE NEWS. a AFFAIRS in East Tennessee are still growing in Interest. A hand-to-hand engagement of four hours against a rebel force of live thousand, and the dri ving of the rebels from below Philadelphia, is no -0..440,,i: in despatchee. Brownlow and Maynard were snaking t o et zhes in Knoxville, endorsing the Ad ministration fully ern: Unegnivocally, and advoca ting immediate emancipation in East Tennessee, *which is now described as the most devotedly loyal part of the Union. Some apprehension is felt for , General Burnside's position, as he has to guard a, long line of railroad, the rebels menacing front and flank. Gwarkaar, ROSECIRANS' farewell order to the Cumberland Army is published. He is reported as haying declared in his speech at Cincinnati that if he had been strengthened before the battle of Chick amauga, the rebels would have been disastrously 'beaten. A DICEIVATOLI to the Herald states that the rebel General Wheeler is about to start on another raid in the rear of Chattanooga, to break Gen. Grant's communications. Tea fight at Cherokee, Ala , in which Osterhaus' &Vial= were engaged, on the way from Corinth toward Chattanooga, is particularized more fully, but is only significant of the presence of the rebels in that direction, who are supposed to have fortia • cations near Tuseumbia, defended by 5,000 men, ADDITIONAL intelligence f:FUeI Cteergla represents , the coateMidaitt slave revolt, at iianonok, 'as a Vtattitg conspiracy, and .a warning to other • ohm- Inunities in the South. The plot was officered from major general to corporal, and the plan was to join :Roseman' when he arrived , at Atlanta. The leader of the enterprise, who has been captured, is de. moribed as daring rind intelligent. - FRom. the Army. of the Potomac we learn that firing had been heard at Bealton Staten, whither the 2d Corps had been despatehed.

He is attacked by a num ber of the journals, and Jefferson Davis is likewise assailed for imputing such attacks - to malice. Wf.r. Davie denies the impeachment, and will not super sede Gen. Bragg. - - ,Tun rebel, Gen. Slaughter had arrived in Texas Born Mobile, and represented the defences of that place as being very strong. Rebel papers state that Mobile is at preserit threatened with attack. A Houston paper scouts the idea of Frenoh protection for Texas. THE news from Europe is interesting. Mr. Brecher's speech at Liverpool was interrupted by a Lumber of Seceesioniels, but was generally received with enthusiasm, and at its conclusion a vote of thank' was carried. Sir Roundell Palmer, Attorney General, had advocated the neutrality of England, and, in the ease of the Mersey ram-ships, declared that the Americans had done as much for others as they now expected for themselves. _ A` FEW personal matters from rebeldom are inte resting : Gen. J. E. Johnston has returned from an extensive tour along the coast of his department, having visited all the outpoets, and reviewed all the cavalry. Nathaniel Bedford Forrest, cavalry gene ral under Bragg, his resigned, in consequence oldie agreement with 'his ranking °Meer. Gen. Barton, late of Bragg's army, has been appointed to com mand at Kingston, H. C. The rebel Governor of Tennessee, leham G. Harris, is still with Bragg's army, where he has remained for two years, having fought in all its battles. Gen. Wigfall, of Texas, is making speeches through Virginia. Gen: Charles Clark has been elected Governor of ➢Sieeissippi by a large majority. Ati - expedition into Southwest Virginia and bleat Carolina' has reported its success to Gen. Burnside. Arms were distributed among the peo pie, and a general tieing of loyalists was about to take place. Berald correspondence rumors an in formal peace embassy of North Carolina recoil struotionista at New bern ; but, from welPknown causes, it is difficult to place any faith in the state- Bent. - - THROUGH a treaty concluded with the Chippewa Indians of Red Lake and Pembina, by Governor Ikamsey, of Minnesota, a district of land on both aides of the Red river has beericeded to the Govern ment, and much territory relieved of disturbance. Governor Nye has also concluded a treaty with the Shoshone Indiana of Nevada, who have attacked the emigrant trains to Oregon. Quarrels of our Generals. Some of qur newspaper friends, actuated :no doubt by the most praiseworthy but shoraighted motives, seem resolved that, if it is at all possible to stir up quarrels be tween generals entertaining amicable rela tions with each other, and co-operating in the same military field, the object shall-be accomplished. It is so now, and it has been so from the commencement of the war. In the first campaign against Charleston, Gene ral Ruwrrat, in consequence of the inade quacy of the force at his command, was unable to furnish any material assistance to Admiral DUPONT ; so that, both before and after the bombardment . of Fort Sumpter, numerous irresponsible statements were set afloat Oat a rupture.betweea the two officers had occurred, from whioh nothing but failure need be anticipated. Of course, these spe culatic ns— they were nothing more—were altogether false, as was made manifest irrthe congratulatory letter written to Admi ral DuroNT, by General HUNTER at the close of the action. Recently, at Chicka mauga, the Army of the Cumberland haying Jailed to gain any decided advantage over the enemy, the news-correspondents improv ed the opportunity to invent another imbro glio of the same kind. We were told by the New York papers that General EOM +CRANS had bad a misunderstanding with Generals McCoon. and CRITTENDEN, and that the latter were about 'to prefer charges against their superior. Accordingly, Gene ral RosEGRANs is compelled, for the sake of truth, to make a speech denying these "false reports," and adding the significant fact that his conduct of the battle had called forth a letter of approval from the President. .And now again we are told, on no better authority than the whispers of " well-known circles " (what sort of circles are these y) that the difficulties between MINTER and DuronT are reproduced in the case of GIL MORE and DATELGREN. Upon the theory that " history repeats itself," the -story /nig) t seem probable; but then, it is natural to suppose that if it were, ,Admiral DAHL- G.talc would have some knowledge .of the fact ; whereas that officer has written a letter to General GILMORE, in which he ef- fectually sets at rest the calumny, and we prefer to accept his letter to the gossip and surmise of the " scribbling newspaper wri- We have, heretofore, refrained from speak- . ing upon this subject for reasons which re quire but little explanation. We have re garded all stories of the aboVe description unworthy of credence ; or if ''true, not of a character for newspaper discussion. If ge nerals cannot agree among themselves, the President, and' not the newspaper press, is the proper arbiter to reconcile their dif ferences, or take such other action in the premises as shall, without private injustice, best conserve the public interests. If, at Charleston or Chattanooga, perkonal quar rels are allowed to usurp the place of that harmonious action, necessary in every cam paign to secure success, the matter is not to be remedied by newspaper abuse. If that' were a corrective agency, the harmony of the millennium would long since' have reigned in both branches of the service. We do not so much blame "the gentlemen of the ravenous little pens, who write on tissue paper," for the wrong that has one to private feeling, and, the greater wrong that has been done to the morale and effective ness of the army and navy by these con stimt Tumors of disputes in high quarters. The army correspondents are required to cultivate the faculty of imagination to give due effect to their descriptions of battle-fields. Hence, some of them come to regard groundless assumptions as a tole rably fair substitute for facts ; and they seem to fancy that the simple prefix "it is ru mored" is competent to take the sting out of any calumny. It is necessary that they should write letters; and if the army is do ing nothing, the necessity of maintaining Itheir reputation for energy sometimes in \,duces them .to exercise their powers of invention. Or, sometimes, though honest -enough in themselves, they are purposely &delved by designing and: unscrupulous rnischkof-makers; who are to be found in every company, regiment, and corps. Their hintstine \ insinuations, often penned in a thoughtless moment, are of course eagerly 'caught up and copied by all the Copperhead newspapers in the country ; but that they should, be received with favor, and' editori ally endersed, by journals claiming to be ' is a thing to he lamented, as ranch I for-their ownehalacter as for the interests of the nation. It, is not so hard a thing to believe that our army and navy officers have too much common sense and patriotism to neglect their duties.for their jealousies ; nor is` .it so hard to believe, after all we have seen. that should such, iease occur, the au thorities, at Washington have sugicientfirm . mess - and determination to`decide`it solely. with reference to its inherent merits r and According to' military law and precedent. Wu are prepared to believe this much, and do not see how any loyal newspaper can believe less. The Official Returns. 4 By the official returns of the Pennsylva nia election, it will be seen that thirty thou sand more votes were polled than in any previous contest—an evidence of the deep and earnest determination of the people to sustain the Government in its hour of great est need. In 1800 the vote for Governor stood—Cl:Junk 262,897, FOSTBR 230,269, making an aggregate vote - of 493,066,_, and majority for • Governor CURTIN of a!,128. Now, the vote stands—CußTlN 269,496, WOODWARD 254,171, making an aggregate vote of 523,667, and a majority for Governor CURTIN of 15,325. From these figures it is apparent that 30,001 more votes were polled this year than in 1860, notwithstanding the absence from the State of at least two hun dred thousand of its citizens. The returns for supreme judge show an aggregate, vote of 522,086- 7 thewote for AG NEW being 267,197, and forrownrE 254,889, leaving a majority, for the Union candidate of 12,308. This is a handsome inaj ority Judge AuriF.7,:whose high persons charac ter,.l:lliffidelity to the cause of the Union, eminently entitled him to such a tribute ; but the triumph of Governor CunvrN has been even more signal. Notwithstanding all the assaults upon him by the Copperhead press and speakers; notwithstanding all the attempts to defame his character, and prove his unfitness for the exalted position in which he has been replaced, he received 3,137 more votes than the candidate for' supreme judge upon the same ticket I. These "figures are at once an unmistakable -expression of the loyalty of Pennsylvania, and a complete vindication of the character of, her Governor. elect. He had been tried, and the voice of the people had declared that be had not been found' wanting. He had sustained the Government against , its enemies, and, therefore, he was sustained against his enemies, by the people. His official career has been most fully endorsed, and through him the Government has been encouraged and strengthened. The moral effect of this triumph of the Union cause must be tremendous, and it must have an important influence on the future welfare of the country for years to come. -Virtually, it fills up the national treasury, builds us new ships-of-war, reinforces our armies, and does-away with the necessity of drafting. Encouraged by the results of this election, the-President has called for three hundred thousand volunteers. If the figures given above mean " anything, they mean that-he shall have them. THE Richmond Examiner of the 20th in stant, in an article on the political condition of the "Confederacy," makes this admis sion : " Such decisive military advantages as.to reduce the enemy to submission can scarcely be expected. If any prompt termi nation to 'the war can be hoped for, it is from foreign complications, to which its fur ther 'continuance will always afford occa sion." Here, then, is a direct confession of the weakness of the rebellion—a confession that it can never succeed of its own strength, and that unless strengthened from abroad, it - must inevitably be crushed. Our South ern enemies have been slow to realize this fact ; their Northern sympathizers have never been 'willing to admit it, but now that it is established upon rebel authority, lei it never more be questioded. THE Richmond Whig states that the rebel General MAGRUDER, with forty-two men, "mostly Irish," has "defeated 12,000 of the' enemy, destroying and capturing seve ral gunboats, and taking. 885 prisoners." The Whig has the candor to confess that the story may seem a little extravagant, but thinks "it would not be safe to reject it on that account." The extraordinary feat is said to have occurred in the trans-Missis sippi Department We -will not believe is until General MAGRUDER sends us his offi cial account. • AN exchange tells us, as a matter of news, that There will be no draftsin Ohio, the quota having been filled by volunteers." Certainly, there will be no draft I Ohio voted to sustain the Government. There would have been a different story to tell AN if VALLDIGHAM had been elected Go vern.or. Mr. BothermePs New Picture. " Thea Christian Martyrs in the Coliseum" is the - title of the latest and best work of our distinguished townsman, kr. P. F. ROTELEB.- mEi, which was last night exhibited, for the first time, in the Academy of the Fine Arts. The gallery was so well filled that it was impossible to give the picture the careful examination it deserves ; yet study was not needed to discover that it is a work of rare merit. To say that it is Mr. ROTFIERMEL' s best painting is to compliment it very highly ; but it is his best, from many reasons, which all intelli gent lovers of art can appreciate. We re member well many of the fine works of this artist, but none that boasted so much beauty and possessed so little blemish. It is in composition and color that Mr. ROTIIERMEL, by common consent, is admitted to excel, and his composition was never finer, his color never more pure and charming. Upon this large canvas, with this noble subject, he has had ample opportunity to use all the resources of his genius. He has never, chosen - a better subject, or treated one with more energy and elaboration. His work . den - lands not inerely.praise, but the higher compliment of criticism. It is an honor to American art, a proOf of, its progress, and entitles -Mr.lioninnat - rm to rank with the best living 'historical artists in this country or in Europe. . The Canvass In Maryland.

PROVOST IVIAREIHAL GIENERALIS °soled.. WASHINGTON, D. C,, Oct 10, 1863. Sri: I have the honor to report, for your informa tion, certain general facts connected with the draft, as shown by reports made up to this time. The machinery for executing the enrolment act is in complete working order. The law as it stands cannot be made to develop the - entire military strength of the nation, and the execution of it has been rendered exceedingly difficult by the efforts made in various ways togresist or evade it, or to escape from its operation.. Its fruits, therefore, are not as abundant as they will be from a perfected law and more thoroughly established system of executing it. AU the advan tages, however, which could reasonably have been expected from the law are accruing. Its general principles , distribute the burdens of military service fairly among those liable to bear them, but there is perhaps more generosity than justness in some of its humane provisions. With certain modificathene, which can readily be made by Cobgress, the military strength of the country may, by the direct and indirect operation of this act, be surely and ohesply brought into the field. Several of the Western States have not been sub jected to the present draft on account of: the excess of volunteers heretofore furnished, and from the same cause the quotas in other . Western States are rendered quite small ; the preaent draft is, therefore, but a partial one, and no specific total was established as the quota for it. Of those drawn in the present draft, including the 60 per cent. additional, over 80 per cent, have re ported in accordance with the orders of the boards. Of the 20 per cent, who have not reported, many are not wilful deserters, being unavoidably 'absent, at sea and the like. The deserters are being arrested. Of all examined about 30 per cent. have been ex empted on account of physical didability, about 30 per cent have been exempted under - the provisions of the second section of the act, or found not liable to military duty on account of alienage, unsuitable ness of age, non-residents, - &c- Those who are not liable to military duty, and form no part of the national forces, and therefore have been'erroneously enrolled, appear in the general reports of the boards among those exempted, because their non-ability, to serve could notbe established until they came before the boards. The number of exemptions is thus made to appear much larger than it really is. About 40 per cent. of the men examined have been held to service, and have either entered the army in person, furnished substitutes, or paid com mutation. About one-half of those held to service have paid commutation e. of the remainder about one.third have gone in person, and two-thirds have furnished substitutes, and all except a few in transit and a small proportionof deserters from among the earlier substitutes accepted, are in the ranks of their regt ' meats in front of the enemy. It is fair to suppose that meat of those who wilfully fail to report, and thus become deserters, are physically fit for service ; if they had been examined the proportion exempted for physical disability would have been reduced to about 25 per cent. The proportion of exemptions would be still further reduced by purging the enrol. went lists before draft of all cases of manifest unfit ness, and of aliens and others not liable to military duty, as may be .done where this system of raising troops is well established. The propositions above given are based upon the reports up to this time from the eeventy-three Con gressional districts where the draft has been com pleted, or has most nearly approached completion. Since the present .rebellion began about 200,000 soldiers, after entering service, have been discharged on surgeon's certificate of disability. It is probable that at least one-half of them were unfit for service when received. It may be safely said that forty millions of money was uselessly expended in bring ing them into the field, to say nothing of their sub .esquent expense to the Government. De Great Britain, under the system of voluntary enlistment, the rejections average over 27 per cent. In France, from 1831 to 1842, the average number of exemptions annually was 94,860; so that, to secure the contingent of 80,000 men, 174,860 conscripts were annually examined. ' Of the recruits who. presented themselves for en listment in our regular army in 1852, '7O per cent. were rejected for physical infirmities, exclusive of age or stature. Between Ist January and lst july last, more than one-half were rejected. These were men who desired to be accepted. These proportions are of interest in connection with the fact that less than one-third of the drafted men who desire not to be accepted have - been exempted on 'account of phy laical unfitness, There have been but few cases of incompetency, fraud, neglect, or abuse In the examination of drafted men. These men have, however, in many ways been swindled by rogues having no connection with the boards of enrolment, as, for example, the fact that certain drafted men were physically unfit for service has become known to these sharpers, when it was perhaps not known to the men them selves, ajid they have so far imposed upon the ignorance or credulity of the drafted men as to get from them sums of money to secure an exemption to which the rogues knew they were entitled and would surely receive, and the drafted men y finding themselves exempted as promised, have soffetimes thought and given out that they secured exemption by bribery of drafting officers, whereas they were legally_ entitled to exemption, and have themselves been swindled by sharpers. All has been done that seemed proper under exist ing laws to check these evils, and to Meet properly the few eases of criminality and, incompetency which have occurred among the officers of this bu reau. All the expenditures up to this time on account of this bureau, including the enrolment, draft, and pay of officers, and persons conneetedawith it, are but little over $1,200,000. These 'expenditures include all made on account of the machinery which' has produeed the arrest and return of twenty thousand deserters. The amount of money received from the draft up to this date is about ten times as great as_all the expenses incurred on account of the enrolment act; those resulting from the New York riots are not, however. included in this statement, as they, are more.properly attributable to other causes and other persons than to the draft or the officers of this bureau.- • I am; very respectfully, your obedient servant, JAMES B.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Heavy cannonading was heard at Gainesville to-day, which continued for more than two hours up to noon in the direction of Realton, which is five miles from Rappahannock Station. At 7 o'clock this morning the 2d Army Corps started out on a reconnoissance in that neigh borhood, and may have encountered the enemy. Last night, between 8 and 9 o'clock, ten or twelve teams of the reserved artillery weie captured by about one hundred and fifty guerillas when two miles from and Proceeding toward Warrenton. On drat being hailed, the guerillaa represented them selves attached to the lath Pennsylvania Cavalry, and, soon after, ordered the teams to halt, when they stole the mules, but one-third of the animals were anbsequently recovered. • This afternoon, about 4 o'clock, another band came within half a mile of Honker Station, 14 miles of Alexandria, and captured twenty. five or thirty mules, used for hauling woad, together with the wagonmaster and several negroes. They ordered the wagonmaster to take them to where the guard were, but one of the negroes having made his escape, bur. ried to the guard and informed them of their danger, when they prepared to gi've the foe a warnarectsp tion. The guerillas, evidently supposing , they would make an easy conquest, having been.-informed by the wagonmaster that the guard numbered only six, when, in fact, there were about thirty mono ap proached with boldness, bat were suddenlydriven off by a volley of musketry. These guerilias were armed, for the greater part, with pistols, and had , only a few carbines. San Francisco. SAN ruArtorsoo, Oct. 26.—Arrived, war steamer Narragansett, from Acapulco.

Corinth, met with re sistance at Cherokee Station, eiglity.nlialmilea from Tuecumbia, Alabama. General Osterhaus was in the advance, and had not moved far when he encountered two brigades of rebel cairalry under Generals Lee and Forrest, esti mated at from four to six thousand. The fight lasted for an hour, when the rebels were driven back with severe lose. Our loss was seven killed and thirty-seven wounded, caused chiefly by an unfortunate mistake, by which Lee's oavalry, who were dressol in blue overociats4treire supposed to be a part of our forces. The rebels 'are said to have very strong fortidoa tions constructed a mile this eide of Tueoumbia, on the railroad,. The prisoners capturejl report that the enemy expects' to make a stout resistance at 'that place.- They say they had 4,000 men there on Tuesday, and received reinforcements of 1,000 ca valry on Wednesday. Two thousand more were ex pected from Gen. Bragg. NASHVILLE AND CHATTANOOGA. NASELVILLIL, Oct. 27.—[Special despatch to New York ileralq—The following has been received from Chattanooga, dated the 25th instant: Nothing of importance is transpiring. The Union movements are represented as favorable. The rebel General Wheeler is again about to threaten our lines of railroad. Last night a torpedo, which had been placed.un der the track, exploded, throwing the tender off the track and tearing it to pieces. No one was seri ously injured. During the afternoon, the same train was thrown from the track between here and La. , vergne. TWo days ago two regiments were sent out on an expedition, and were en4inently succeisful. They took some prisoners, and gained important military information, They also captured, three cars and a locomotive.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 2.7.-.. General Rosecrans said in his speech at the Merchants' Exchange, yesterday, that it was his firm belief that if the fordes recently sent to Chattanooga had-been ordered' there before, as qught to have been done, the back:bone of the re bellion would have been broken. The General left last night for his home at Yellow Springs. • THE CHARGES AGAINST GENERAL 'ROSE ". (mans, • [From the Army and Navy Journal.] " 'W e have heretofore had frequent occasion to eulo gize that officer's military ability and manly worth; and our praise was based upon knowledge of the man and observation of the soldier, as well as upon the historical records of his past career. But we cannot doubt that the Government's action in his removal was not orily"dictated by the ikirit of jus tice, but that it was demanded upon the highest military considerations. In regard to all his move ments and each of his engagements since he assumed command, the Government necessarily has wider and more accurate information than is, or ought to be, possessed by any other parties ; ; and in regard to the late action, at Chickamauga, which doubtless was the immediate cause of his removal, it maybe said that nothing is definitely known about his con duct on that occasion, except by the Goverpment. We fling away as false and cruel thesgeneral charges made by the daily press against General Roeecrans of unniilitary conduct and vicious. per sonal habits. Some of the charges we know to be untrue, and all of them are in their nature so anta gonistic to his established character—which is au• stele, dignified, calm, self-possessed, and; in a word, soldierly to a rare degree—as to carry their `refuta tion on their face to all who know General Rose crane. But the whole matter, in all its bearings, will, we have reason to believe, speedily come up for investigation before the proper court ; and until the charges then are made known, and the fact end ted brought to light, we advise .his detractors, as well as a fluctuating public, to restrain themselves from indulging in random charges and harsh criti cism against one who, during the last two years, has certainly done hie country enough service to entitle him to honorable consideration, and to shield him froin the poisoned shaft of unpatriotic malice." GEN. BURNSIDE'S SITUATION. [Front the Cincinnati Casette.] - The-situation involved in the occupation of East Tennessee with an active anitdangerous foe at either end of a line two hundred and forty miles in length, extending frOm Chattanooga to Bristol, it is difficult,' without accurate knowledge of the facts, to estimate justly. F Our base of supplies is 250 miles distant, over dam gerous and difficult mountain roads, with six'con siderable rivers, and innumerable mountain streams to cross. This long line of communication, extend ing through wild and disaffected regions, especially liable to guerilla warfare, -requires to be surely and adequately guarded. The rebels' policy her been to threaten at all points, but not to fight. Run them from One position and presto, , they appear at an other ; force them back there, and they reappear at the first, and so on alternately. Wolford in thewest and Shackelford in the east, 200 miles apart, have - been engaged in this unpleasant and unprofitable military pastime since our advent into the State, and the situation differs but little today from our status six weeks ago. Chattanooga is distant from Knoxville one hun dred and ten miles. The bridges over the Holston and Blivassa are destroyed, and Bragg holds the railroad from Cleveland terChattanooga. Our stub. sistence certainly, if not OUr existence, cies during it winter fl residence in Bast Tennessee, will co 'be seriouri ly influenced by one ormore of three ntingen : the entire and efficient reorganization (as proposed by Colonel Gilbert) 'of the present superdamnable system of wagon transportation over -the moun tains demolishing Bragg altogether, or driving him back to Dalton or beyond, or the resuinption of na vigation on the Tennessee river. All,these consider ations renders the 161 e of commander-in-chief of the Army, of East Tennessee •anything but a bed of roses, RAILROAD MATTERS The rebels have railroad communication as far as Chickamauga river.

OA PE RAO% Oct. 28.—The trausmissien UA Ma following portions of the steamer Canada's news/ ,was prevented last eight by the interruption of tele graphic communication emit of Sachville. The Canada has one hundred and ten pautengerm She makes the following report : On the 17th , peered ship Sy mode going into' Lavergne', and on the 20th ptumed the steamship City of Blanchester, and on the 23d the etearnsbtp City of Loudon,' both bound te,Liverpool. Rev. Henry Ward ,Beechot delivered hippromised lecture OA America, at the. Philharmonic: Hail, in Liverpool, on the 16th inst. He had a deneely erowded audience, and was enthusiastically re ceived, although a party of Secession Byrne/Matters made several attempts to break up the meeting by creating scenes of Weenier, and interrupting the de livery of the address at almost every step. They were, however, in a great minority, 'and,. one the whole, Beecher'e reception, from first to last, was enthusiastic: lie was frequently. interrupted.by.dis graceful outcries, but he showed great calmnossand tact, and could not be put down by the clamorraleed against him. , Mr. Beecher showed by favorable arguments how much England was interested in the triumpleof the North. 130 asserted that shivery was the root and branch of the American trouble, and maintained that the North fought for the Union , because Mei lfeved that the Union would ultimately secure the emancipation of the slaves of the South. Mr. Beecher believed that under the influence of Earl Russell's speech at BlaitGewrie and the sei zure of the suspected rams in the Mersey, the hoe. tility of the North towards England would disap pear. Mr. Beecher concluded - by pointing out that, in view of the threatening aspeot of affairs throughout the world, kindred nations, like England and Ame rica, should not be estranged, for united they would be a match fol• the world. A vote of thanks to Mr. Beecher was carried with great cheering, but not unmixed wlth,hisses and groans. On the same day an address was delivered before the Liverpool. Southern Olub, by Mr.- Beresford Hope, who reiterated his oft expressed ultra views in favor of the South. The club afterwards entertained Mr. Hope at a banquet, where Southern sentiments were, of course, the order of the day. Sir Roundell Palmer, Attorney General, had been addressing his constituents at considerable length on American affairs. He showed that England could not recognize the South until her independence was fully settled. He contended that Eng and was bound to extend belligerent rights to the Confederates, and strongly demonstrated the obligation resting upon England for continued neutrality. The London Times, in an editorial on that part of Mr. Palmer's speech which shows that there is no doubt about the spirit and design of the laws respecting the iron-dads seized in the Mersey, says : "The Ministers have not been doubting whether tfieee steamers - were designed for the same service as the Alabama, nor whether they could be lawfully despatched, but whether their suspected destination can be conclusively proved against them. The in tent of the law is, - however, to make the case per fectly clear. Few will be found to deny there is sus picion enough to justify the resolution on the part of the Government to remove the case for trial. The doubts that arise are principally from the difli• culty of obtaining conclusive evidence, the case ad mitting of infinite evasions." The Attorney General tells us that the Americans_ have done as much for others as they are now ex• vesting• will be done for them; that they never showed unwillinghess to act when urged ; but that they found difficulties in the way of - such proceed. ings. The Times says, in conclusion, if this is the state of the law it is unsatisfactory in the extreme ; and as both countries have found the utmost diffi culty in bringing the law to bear, the sooner the machinery is improved the better. The Russians were constructing gunboats in the Black Sea. INDIA AND NEW ZEALAND. The troubles in India, and the outbreaks and war in New Zealand, had attracted considerable atten tion. It is stated that the Punjaub had been invaded by 7.000 men, headed by the sons of Post Mohammed, Who are thought to be merely the vanguard of a large force. British troops have been sent against them, and other precautions taken to insure their overthrow. The war in New Zealand is termed "A War of Races." Energetic measiirea were being taken by the troops and white colonists for a decisive victory over the natives. All the British troops in Australia have gone over to New Zealand, and volunteers would follow, to put the native insurrectionists down. FRANCE. The Emperor Louis Napoleon would receive the Mexican deputation on the 17th inst. - There were some doubts as to whether )%1. Rouher or M. Baroche would succeed M. Billault as Minis ter of State. The Paris Bourse was dull, but without any ma terial fluctuations. Russia had commenced detaching certain pads of - Poland from Poland. A Russian imperial decree detaches the Govern ment of Auguatow and the district of Lorenz% from Poland, and incorporates them in the Russian Em pire. It is reported that the Poles have offered an offen sive and defensive alliance to Turkey, to reconquer all that has been lost-of the Ottoman Empire. It is also said that Russia has notified the Porte that any recognition of the Poles as belligerents will be looked upon as a declaration of war. The English cabinet have.. postponed their deci sion in regard to the demand of the Poles to - be con sidered belligerents. DENMARK. The.

Public Entertainment& NEW CHESTNUT-STREET THEATEM—The recent effort of Mademoiselle Vestvali to establish - English opera in America failed, but the failure was honor able, for be it remembered that the first work she produced, and upon which her hopes of success were founded, was the " Orpheus and Eurydice" of Gluck. Perhaps the "Bohemian Girl," or the "Daughter of the Regiment," would have been more profitable to the fair manager, though less agreeable to the artist. At any rate, the effort was a decided failure. Gluck was ushered in with a tri umph of trumpets, and went out with a scarce au dtble sigh from the few who thought his music not mlich worse than Verdi's. Veatvali did not lose by the experiment, at least in reputation; she was not accepted as a first class vocalist, but found many good critics ryhe prophesied greater success for her in the drama. Veatvali speaks and sings in five or six languages, and so, when she despaired of esta blishing the English opera, her ambition naturally was turned to the English drama. She produced Games, or the Sewieh Pacither,” in New York, with general approbation. It is a play translated from the French by Matilda Heron, with incidental music composed by Robert Stoepel. At the New Cheetnutidreet Theatre it is now very well played, and we compliment Mr. Wheatley upon his stage manager, his scenic artist, and the wellbalanced or chestra which Mr. Mark Hassler eo carefully directs. Cornea's child, Naomi, is stolen from her by Bianca, Duchess ,of Lomellini, (Mrs. Brougham Robertaon), and, ignorant of her mother, is educated as Sylvia, (Mrs. J. H. Allen). Cameo, heart broken, seeks her child through Italy, not knowing who- had taken .her, and finally becomes _the fortune-teller near the palace of Lomellini, near Genoa She only knows that the child-thief has upon her left hand a soar, inflicted by the nails of the mother in the moment of the abduction. The Duchess, seeking the fortune teller, is discovered by this sear. Gamia Claims her 'child, and Sylvia becomes Naomi. In the last act Cornea in her palace' is seen with her child, who,' though loving her own mother, is dying with grief for the Duchess, whom she dearly loved. &Ewa, suffer hag from the consciousness of this secret alienation, unable to make her daughter happy, bids her choose between two mothers. Sylvia is distracted, but na ture triumphs. The Duchess becomes the dear friend of her adopted daughter, Crimea is happy, Sylvia is married. This is the efory, very briefly told, which is made a plot by the enterprise of a virtuous bri gand, a pasiionate lover, and enlivened by a golf. dole, is ballet, a robbery, a chorus of fish.gentlemen and. marketladier, and ,a sympathetic accompani ment by the orchestra. Without the music this play would be dull. Veetvall is a beautiful woman.. Mrs. Allen is also beautiful, and those who know the one and not the other oan imagine an antithesis and picture a reality. Sylvia is a sweet and delicate,dower, a rose of fragrance and grace ; Garnett is one of those tropical glories that menace and dazzle, and possess an opiate and piercing sweetness ; that is to say, in plain English, Mrs. Allen is charming and Veetvali magnificent. We enjoyed nothing so mush in the play as • this contrast of womanly beauty. Vestvali is tall, stately, imperial; her grace has an abruptness, the angular markings which an artist loves, of which - Sir Saguia Rey nolds was so fond ; her arms are those the Venus of Milo has lost ; her face is not beautiful, but it is nearly so ; it is not Greek but is Italian. Her fore head is low and broad, her eyes, dark and piercing, her lipe sensuous, her hair black. We do not know how she was ffressed, but she had the excellent taste not to wear hooped skirts. She has marked character and decided talent for the drama, but it is to her beauty that half of her success is owing ; the rest may be fairly sha..iad be tween her talent and her voice. Vestvali la 'not a great actress, nor a great vocalist ; but there are few ladies who at once sing and act with !ugh power as she. She combinei two ats, and hoe realm is not in the centre of either doinain, but in that doubt ful land where their boundarles are vagaely defined.

LATE HoMICIDE.—The Coroner re sumed his inquest yesterday morning in the case of James McGinnis, who was beaten to death on Sun day evening on Water street, near Walnut. Dr. Horatio C. Wood, Jr., who made the post- - mortem examination of the deceased, testified to the nature of the wounds, and said that death undoubt• edly resulted from effusion of blood upon the brain caused by blows. The knife cuts were not sufficient to have caused death. On Monday night, the Fifth-ward police arrested a young man, named Edward Jackson, upon the charge of having been concerned in the assault upon McGinnis. Jackson was present at the inquest to see if- any of the witnesses could identify him. John Welsh recalled;—He said that the prisoner resembled one of the party who stood with his bask, to the bar , on Sunday evening ; a pia in his bosom Tooks very much like one worn by one of the Men, and the voice comes near'that of a person who said " any one who don't like. Mike Cantwell am not positive that this la the man. W m. Tissell, a member of the Invalid Corps, testi fied that Jackson went into Holland's house, be twetu seven and eight o'clock on Sunday evening; he had a knife in his hand, and blood on hie hand; he made a dash at witness, who got up and ran at him ; prisoner went out, and was afterwards found at the New England House upon the table ; witness had him arrested as a deserter from the 15th New York regiment, and also a-substitute deserter; he didn't say how he got the blood on the knife or his band; he never said anything when he made the lunge ; he was in liquor at the- time ; a young man was waiting for him outside ; he called Tor this man to come in, but the man paid no attention to him ; first saw them in Dock street ; they were running pretty fast, and ran into the New England House. Jeremiah Sullivan, another member of the Inva lid Corps, testified that this man (Jackson) went into Holland's on Sunday evening and was put out ; he came in the second time with a knife in his hand and said that he, had a crowd outside;-there were two men with him ; ho 'said that he had kicked the head oil' of one man, and he would kick the head off one of the bluejackets ; saw blood upon the sleeve of his shirt; this was about nine o'clock ; first saw him between seven and eight o'clock ; the prisoner has been in custody since Sunday night. Mrs. 41nruna Holland, residing at No. 121 Dock street, testified that the prisoner came to her house about six o'clock, and wanted something to drink she refused, and put him out ; he came back about ; o'clock, with a big knife, and said, "Come on, boys, we'll kill thenifill; there were two soldiers there, and'he made a plunge at one of them: he ran out, and witness ran alter him ; met some girls, who said that a man bad been killed in Water street, and that "Tom Oat" (the name the prisoner goes by) was in it ; when he came in the second time, saw blood on his shirt.sleeve,.and also on his fate; he had a long black coat on then, and not the one he wears now ' • didn't hear him say that heitad kicked one man to death ; never saw him.but once with a black hat on( [That which was found upon the sideitalk after the occurrence Was produced, but the witness said that that was not the one she saw Jack- Mary Carman, residing on Dock street, below , Secona, testified that the prisoner was in Mr. Poi lock's house on Sunday evening ; witness saw him at Holland's with a knife in his hand about eight o'clock on Sunday night; he burn black Kossuth bat on ; a boy told her that he saw a man beaten at Delaney's, and that "Tom Cat" was in it. Hugh Brown, residing at No. 240 South Front street, corroborated the other witnesses in regard to Jackson being at Holland's with a knife; heard him say in Spruce street, while being taken to the guard-house, "Pve helped to kick the head off of one man to night, and I'll kick it off-of one of your btu e.jackets." . Thomas Holland, No. 121 Dock street, testified to the same facts, about Jackson with the- knife, So.; he threatened to cut the witnets, who opened the drawer to get a revolver, when Jackson ran away; in the afternoon he wore a black hat, and in the evening his clothes were changed; he then had a White hat; when he came in the evening, about eight o'clock, his sleeves and hands were bloody; when he was arrested he had the knife in his hand, but be begged hard to be let off,. andzot rid of the knife somehow; on the previOus Saturday night he drew a knife on witness. - A number of other witnesses were examined, but nothing new was elicited, and the inquest was ad journed.until li o'clock this morning. PRIZE-FIGHT. — TWO young - men, named Fitzgerald and Wilson, indulged in a prize.fight yes terday at Reedy Island, at the head or the Delaware bay, rive miles below Fort. Delaware. Seven rounds were fought in eixteen minutes, when. Fitzgerald was declared the winner. The sum of money staked on this contest was Wee aside. The scene was of 'course disgraceful , and lawless. It is said the "bruisers" proceeded to Port Penn, where they acted in defiance of edl law, statute and moral. Gen. Scheer!' caused a telegraph to bowsent northward to capture the boats. One escsped,lbut the remainder were taken as prizds, and probably are at this time under the guns of Fort Delaware. It is not exactly known who of the parties were captured, and it is not presumptuous to say that respectable people care nothing about-them. We hear it stated that an impromptu fight was originated after the first one. This second scene of lacerating the human face divine, which the fancy dignify by, the name of "mug,"` was between a couple of young shoulder-hitters of lightweight. In an intelligent country like this such proceedings are shocking to moral feelings and positively disgraceful. At a late hour last night the following-additional particulars were given by one of the party who, with eight or ten others, was allowed by . General Scheert to leave the fort, the General lmndly fur nishing a steamer to convey them to - Chester, where tbey took the cars and reached Philadelphia. Among the liberated was the reporter of the New York Ifere/d. r The reporter of the New York Clipper, find ing that he had got into very bad company, left Port Penn, and travelled nine miles and a half, to the line of the Deldware Railroad, where he took the oars as a way passenger. The arrest of the parties was made as follows t . After the- tugs had' started from Port Penn, with most of the lawless gang, informa tion was conveyed to Gen. SchoeiT. When two of the tugs arrived abreast of Fdrt Delaware, Gen. S. sent his steamer out and captured them, and had the whole party placed in a half-Waken hulk of a ves sel. The tugs were then manned with an armed guard of fifty men each, and put back to Port Penn in order than any of the party who may have been left behind, might be captured. What success was met with was not ase t ertained. It being understood that one of the tugs had already escaped up the river, a telegram was sent to the provost guard of Philadelphia, to capture her,lf , possible. The har bor police boats were placed at the disposal of the provost marshal, but we believe that other and better conveyance was obtained. 'The tug boat had not arrived at Philadelphia at' a late hour last night, and the supposition is‘ that she was taken by the provost guard to Fort Mifflin, or more probably to Fort Delaware; The scene at the fort is described as decidedly amusing. One of the se conds in the fight gotinto the fire-room, took off his coat, and gave the tlreman.five dollars for the privi lege of being his assistant. The person who brought the news says that Alderman 'McMullin was, on board one of the tugs, butwhen the men were brought up into line at the fort he was missing. It being represented to General Schoeft that sOme of the prisoners claimed pretensions to respectabi lity, and had merely gone to see the fight from idle curiosity,:he gave them a bearing, and they were at once liberated. The General said he simply desired to keep for a reasonable time the perpetrators of the outrages at Port Penn, intil the residents of that place could have an opportunity to identify them. To this the "respectable" persons yielded a ready assent. It seems the party- entered .the principal hotel at Port Penn, and while some held the landlord others. "went through him," that is, robbed him. They helped themselves to as much liquor as they want ed, and destroyed whatever they chose. Private houses were invaded, and the inmates driven in terror from them. It is not known how much or what the party stole from these houses. It is said that in reference to one woman, some of the scoun drels committed a deed for which we have no public name he gang was- mostly made up of petty an ea k.thieves of Fhiladielphia and New York. About two Murdreii all, told, are detained at Fort . Delaware.
