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

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. Large robbe
ries of homes by the guerillas have caused some
vexation..
BRAGG4O evidently unpopular 'among the
tebelsof the Southwest. 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

-enough in themselves, they are purposely
&delved by designing and: unscrupulous

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

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.

Tlle the Draft.
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,

Cannonading near Realton—Horse stealing
by Guerillas.
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.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 21.—A. Louisville despatch of
the. 26th, to the Gazette, says the engagement of to
day was a hot hand-to-hand. affair of over four
hours. 'The rebel force wad estimated at 5,000, and
they lost, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, over 300.
Col. Wolford recaptured his wagon train, and
some of his men, but lost his battery. Our lose was
nearly 200.
Gen. Sanders advanced yesterday, and drove the
rebels below Philadelphia. A running fight was
kept up till dark.
Colonel Crawford has returned from his expedition

of the
24th says that on the 21st the advance of the Union
forces, moving eastward 'ROM. 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

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

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.
One of the prisoners captured was evidently en

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,

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. From that point their supplies
are hauled in wagons. The following table of
tances between here and Atlanta, may prove of in

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

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.

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,

of the abduction. The Duchess, seeking the fortune
teller, is discovered by this sear. Gamia Claims her

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

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. '
We'consider suclia combination of the opera and%
the drama as legitimate. She who aombines them.

TIDECITY.
TM?. 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 ,

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.;

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.
