The enemy, on Tuesday, made an advance of one or two miles to our Light Wing, doubtless intending a flank move. remit to deceive our generals. General Buford's cavalry eivislon was attacked on Tuesday after. aeon, by rebel infantry. near liealton Station, and tell back upon our own infantry, near Germantown. Few losses are reported, and no retrograde move ment of the army. G. neral headquarters were at Beallstown, fifteen mitre from Warrenton. Tart rebel forces in Arkansas, under General Price, are reported at 9,090, with eighteen pieces of artillery, and are ahr.ut to show front e.gain. Forte Smith and Blunt are threatened. Refugees from Arkansas are still flocking into. Missouri.

THE rote in West Virginia has reaulted in the election of all the unconditional Union candidates— :news. Jacob B. Blair, Brown, and Whaley. A 6RBAT Union meeting in Brooklyn was ad &rased in a to ief and earnest speech by Commodore Meade, brother of the general in•chief of the Army of the Potomac. LABOR Tsrion meetings were held in Syraouseand Baltimore. The latter was addressed by Secretary Chime. Azi important order in relation to volunteers and drafted men is publisbed by the War Department. The Call for Volunteers. Objections have been urged in some quar ters, against the President's late proclama tion, calling for three hundred thousand volunteers, upon the ground that those only - who are in :favor of the Government will respond, and tints the disloyalists who re main at home will have the opportunity they so much covet, of embarrassing the Ad ministration, and retarding the progress of the war. The objection is not without a certain force. Very few of the number of those Nt'llo voted for Mr. Justice WOOD- IvARD, we fear, will voluntarily enter the service of the country ; although, with some, the temptation of high bounties may pievail over their partisan , prejudices, and induce them to- enter the ranks: But ad mitting /that the number even of these will be comparatively insigniteant—or, to go still further, let us admit that not .a single tine of them enlists—and still -we think the policy of the President the wisest that could be adopted at the time. The result of the late elections has shown no fact more clef:l . 7y than this, that the people have - con-- ' fidenee in the Government. The proclama tion of President LINCOLN has shown that the Govo.nrnent has confidence in the people. Out of these two sources a mutual under stanaing has sprung up, that does not pause to weigh partisan considerations, or the ad vantage of a miserable faction, but only strives to solve the problem of the restoration of the Union, speedily and permanently. The Government is strong enough in itself, and in its friends, to disiegard its enemies. As sured that it has the support of the intelli gent and loyal masses, it fails to perceive a necessity of 'shaping its conduct and course accordingly as the machinations and me naces of dishyal men may dictate. These men, in this State, and in every other Northern State, we think, are in a decided minority. In the army they would do very little zood ; out of the army they will be permitted to do very little harm. In every sense they are contemptible. Let it not be forgotten that Mr. LIN - cora; is no political President. Ile occupies the Presidential chair, not as the successful can didate of a party convention, but as the chosenrider of the American people. They have selected him to be their servant and representative ; and upon them he mug rely for encouragement and support, as from them all his powers are primarily derived. As President of the United States, he is pot bound to pay the slightest regard to the wishes or the menaces of any clique or fac tion. Enough for him to know that the same constituency which placed the reins of government in his hands still recognize his delegated anthOrity as supreme, so far as such authority can be supreme und.er a re-, publican system, and are still determined that it shall 'be exercised so that the rebel lion may be overcome, - and the Union be feetOredin its integrity. Assured, as he has been, of this popular determination, is he not bound to attach greater significance to it than to the disaffection of a disloyal minority, who have been so signally baffled and beaten, that henceforth, pntil the war is closed, they can never more hope to achieve their purposes? We think he is. Had it been Mr. LINCOLN'S intention to scare off all the Copperheads to Canada, he might have ordered .another draft ; but as -it was his intention to strengthen the armies in the field promptly -and with willing men, and to allow the Northern people to demon strate to the world by another uprising, that Sumpter has not been forgotten, the President has very properly directed that the volunteering system - be once 'again put in operation. We shall now have an oppor tunity of testing the sincerity ,of those ,self-styled Democratic newspapers, which, while professing to be in favor of a vigor ous war, have declaimed against the draft as an arbitrary and unnecessary measure, aimed solely to subvert the liberties of the people, and .establish in their stead a mili tary despotism ! The Copperheads have denounced' the draft- now let us- see if these champions of the Union and the • Constitution nnd , the • oliVe branch will volunteer ! The fifth of January will very soon be here. Sufficient interval, however, still re mains to show whether our armies can be reinforced to the requisite extent by voltm leering. If the experiment slionld prove a failure, little time will have- been-lost at any rate, for in the fall and win`' rtfOnth4 very little can be done, we think, in Ten: nessee or Virginia; and by the; time spring has fairly set in the alternative of the draft will have been necessarily resorted to, and the new levy of troops will.be ready to take the field. If, however; the result should prove, as we think from the evidenCe of the elections it will prove, that the volunteering system is still available, a vast expense will have been-saved to the tio'vernment, willing soldiers will have been' secured; and the moral advantages of a substantial cha- Meter will have been gained: to the country. end not merely moral - but material advantages, capable of expression in dollars and cents, as well: The. credit of the Government will have been strength ened, business of all kinds will have settled down prosperously upon a war footing, and the result of all this will be, not Merely to reinforce our armies to the numerical extent of the fresh quotas, but to impart new ener gy and' inspiration to the troops already in the 'field, and encourage them to .emulate the honor and the glory of their past-achieve ments. It would be a grand response to the ott. repeated calumny of our trans- Atlantic friends, that the Northern people had grown weary the war and of taxation; it would be a strange commentary on the frequent as sumption of the Southern rebels, that the war must come' tea close as soon as "the scum of the Northern cities," "the mud sills of the North " had all been absorbed by the Federal armies. Thus, Mr. Ltricouti, by his proclamation, presents us an oppor tunity of rebuking and confounding our ene mies everywhere, by voluntarily coming forward to yield the Government our 'sup port ; and though in so doing we may seem to present to the disloyal element of our population an opportunity of consolidating and gaining new strength, we may be as sured that the opportunity is but in appear- Enke. .The best way to destroy Ceppe?.head ism at homo is to destroy Secession in the fret?; for nothing can be plainer than this, that when the rebellion has perished, sym patby with the rebellion must perish also. Let the President's proclamation, therefore, beresponsameed to in the sae spirit in which itwas conceived, and the enemies of the North as well as South, must be baffled and put to rout. New York New Jersey, lielawSre. In Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois, elections will be held on the ',ld . of .November, next Tuesday. In Maryland au election will be held November 4th. Delaware, on the 10th. of November, will decide for the Union or against it. In the results in New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, Pennsylvania is especially in terested, and if her loyal citizens can do aught, and many of them can do much, to aid the loyal cause, it is their duty to aid it at once. New York, with Governor SEYMOUR as her chief magistrate,.is a loyal State, sub• jetted to disloyal rule; her influence is mis used, and her honor stained. rhe success of the State ticket will leave Governor 3EY 3TOT:B. still able, in part, to thwart the Go- Terra:nerd, but then the scenes of last winter in the Legislature, and the riots in New York city, will not be repeated. That suc cess will redeem the State, we are glad to know that Union men are working so hard to obtain it. We have not one doubt of their success. New Jeniey also needs a change. She has too many Copperheads in her Legisla ture. The Legislative Union ticket bears the names of some of. her best citizens, and such a man as Hon. JAMES M. 3COVEL well represents the general ability and loyalty of the candidates. Let New Jersey remember how Pennsylvania has decided, and let the Delaware alone divide these States, which loyalty and interest unite. In Delaware Mr. CHARLES BROWN, for merly Collector of the Port of Philadelphia, ex•member of the State t'lenate, aspires to again take a place in Congress. Mr. BROWN expects to be _ elected by disloyal voters. We cannot think that even the proverbial blindness of a party candidate can make him ignorant of the truth that all loyal men will vote against him, He could not represent worse principles more faith fully, and that is saying much when we consider the course of some of his co-workers in the House. He is to De• laware what Mr. VALLANDIGHA:SI was to Ohio—a politician opposed to-the Go venament, opposed to the war, opposed to the people. Unlike Mr. VALLANDIGHAM, he is not banished for :giving aid to the ene my, but he deserves to be banished at least from the trust of the people, for giving comfort to our foes. Mr. BROWN is avow edly in favor of patching up a peace in any way possible ; he wants the war ended, and cares nothing for the means ; like VALLAN moiIAm, he has publicly scorned the name of War Democrat, and if Dela ware does hot do as well as Ohio, it is not for want of an opportuni ty, Mr. BROWN could not do much harm to the. Union as § Congressman, but he would do it no good. .The unpatriotic course he in tends to adopt would as much disgrace Dela ware as Mr. N. B. SMSTHERS' ability and loyalty would honor it. The Union, party of Delaware is worthily represented by Mr. SMITHERS, and Copperheadism .with—such an opponent should meet overwheltriing de-. feat. It is not merely that Mr. BROWN is unfit to hold an office in the gift of a loyal State, but that few men, however faithful and intelligent, have equal claims with Mr. EN - ETHERS to the confidence of all who are true to their country. Tice German Opera. The permanence of the German opera in America is demanded by the highest inte rests of music. A public without ft must mmain ignorant of some of the greatest of modern composers and many of the no blest of musical compositions. We have learned that the Italian opera, with all its splench r, is but a part of the great world of music ; that we cannot be content with the exquisite melodies of VERDI, DONIZETTI, BELLINI, ROSSINIi to the exclusion of the genius of the great German masters. CARL ANSCRUTZ, last winter, gave but a glimpse of this genius, but that was enough . to ex citea new interest, and begin the develop ment of a new taste. With a poor compa ny, he produced grand works, and-even in that imperfect production their grandeur was recognized. The encouragement given to this" earnest beginning was well - be stowed. As a result the German opera will be presented at the Academy of Music this winter, complete and perfect, with an orchestra and chorus far better than any we have previously known, and with singers of beautiful voice and thorough musical cul ture. The season of German opera, which begins on Monday night, will be an event in the musical record of Philadelphia. Mr. Ancrurn BIRGNELD ; whose energy as a bu siness manager is inspired by his earnest love for his art, has received a very large subscription . for the twelve nights, and so large, that we hope to see in our beauti ful Academy all the brilliancy and fashion of its earlier clays revived. Mr. Artscircrtz will offer the public new artists and new operas, and, among the lat ter, four that require a first-class company for their production. The " Faust " of GOUNOD, of which - we have read in Parisian journals for two years - ; the " Euryanthe " of WEnEn, one of his most beautiful works; 'the "Indra " of FLOTO-w, and the " Jes sonda " of Bronx " Fidelio," " The Night in Grenada," "The Magic Flute," and other of the operas so welcome last Sea son, will be repeated. To the programme advertised, we again refer our readers. It promises great music, and if the German opera is not successful, it will not be the fault of Mr. Ariserturz as an artist, but too proba bly his fault as a manager. We do - not mean to doubt that his enterprise will find reward ; hut simply state that he has evidently begun a great work, and that to succeed as he de serves, he must have the full sympathy of the musical publle. He who wishes to give first. class performances is dependent on first class support. The New Water Loan. An' ordinance to provide a loan for the ex tension of the water works of the city will be considered by the Coinmon Council this afternoon. It deserves to be acted upon at once, and we trust that an improvement es- Sentisl to the health, the convenience, and reputation of Philadelphia will not be post poned for the sake of party interests.. Legis lation upOn such a matter shOuld be indepen dent ?f politics. A n independent and progres sive spirit should govern the 'intelligent and liberal members of both branches Of Councili. The extension of the water works is de manded by the growth of the city; thou sands of Philadelphians are seriously in convenienced by the small supply of water. In many large districts it is frequently cut off for days,-and in others is so impure that it cannot be used rwithotit injury tolealth. Tbk . s . 41§creAilahje bednuse it isunnecessa ry; Nature has'provided an abundant sup plk oPpure water;, we should not lose it for . the want of intelligent legislation. The remedy for these vita has been welbcon sidered, and the recommendation of the Chief Engineer of the water works, and of his predecessor, should not remain longer unheeded. The increase of revenue in. the Water Department keePs pace with the out lay ; and a wise economy may be best con sulted .by authorizing an expenditure - which promises so large a return not only in-rove , nue, but in the improvementof the city. - Now and Then. That exemplary journal, the New York World, appears to be anxious ,for the niov<-1 of General MEADE. from the command of the Army of the Potomac. The follow ing aPpeared in its Washington corres pondence of yesterday : "The recent cam paign in Virginia is regarded as a most ca lamitous and discreditable ,failure, the evi dence being considered ample that our army outnumbered that of the enemy, and that General MEADE. was deceived into believing it necessaly for him to fall back upon a more favorable position in order to offer battle." This will he news to very many people, including, we think, General LEE and the Southern editors. Contrast it with the following introduction to an article in the Richmond Examiner of the 20th inst.: "It is scarcely time to form a correct esti mate of the late events on the Rapidan and the Rappahannock. No full account of the facts, or explanation of the causes which led to the failure, has yet been received from a Confederate source." No better comment is necessary upon the World's assumption that the Army of the Potomac has met with "a most calamitous and discreditable fail ure," The fact is, as we showed yesterday, that the disloyal newspapers take especial delight in charging our generals with in competency, and clamoring for their re moval, so that they may have au oppor tunity of fastening the charges of vacinatioa and political favoritism upon the Govern ment. The very same journal which in the above extract alleges that " our army out numbered that of the enemy," gave us the following precious specimen of virtuous in dignation in its editorial columns of the 27th inst.: "Now, we put it to the country, if this is not in every way a scandalous busi- RCN ? General MADE is compelled to re treat before LEE, because his Pennsylvania troops are home voting, and then the rest of the fall campaign must come to naught, so that the Administration may use the New York soldiers to carry another State elec tion." Still Not Satisfied 1 A Copperhead paper in New York says : "The proclamation calls for only 300,000 men, and New York is required to furnish 108,035 ! It is evident, on the mere state ment, and without argument, that New York is treated with monstrous unfair ness." The " monstrous unfairness" with which New York was treated was in allow ing her Governor to delay the operations of the draft, while he carried on a dictato rial correspondence with the President, no minally to convince Mr. LINCOLN that he did not understand his business, but really to incite an ignorant rabble to riot and in cendiarism. If New York had quietly sub mitted to the draft in the first place, as every other State did cheerfully, she would not bc called upon to make up her two quotas at once. The only feature of the business that strati us as being "mon strously unfair" is the leniency,with which she has been treated, and the length of time she has been allowed in which to respond to the first draft. WASHINGTON. Special Despatches to The Press. WABRING O IO , 7, D. 0., Oot. 23 Army of the Potomac. Several gentlemen, who arrived from the Army Of the Potomac tonight, say the firing heard in the direction of Walton yesterday has not yet been ao counted for, and expresa the belief that it involves nothing of importance. The artillery wagons re cently captured by guerillas, near Warrenton, eon. Wined no property - of value. Thlt it the mond daring and successful 'raid made during the present week, almost in the heart of our camp. It is believed that the rebels have not pushed any strong force on this side of the Rappahannock since their grand retreat; some bodies, however, remain at the various crossings. They are all circumscribed to those Liositions by the prokimity of our foreea. The enemy's cavalry scout the neck as far as Stafford Court House and Hartwood Church. A number of 'citizens along the Orange and Staf ford Railroad, charged with harboring guerillas, have been arrested and brought to Washington. Some of them have been committed to the Ohl Capitol Prison, and others released on their parole not to lesVe this city. Attack ou ilutord,z-11;avalry Information from the Army of the Potomac says that General Buvono's Cavalry Division was at tacked by the enemy's infantry near Boalton Sta tion, on Thursday at noon, and was forced -to fall back upon our infantry :vithin one mile of German 'town. There were but few casualties on either side. The skirmishing - Continued for several hours. It is not true, as reported, that General &luaus's army is retreating. His headquarters have moved, but not toward Washington. Gentlemen in mili tary circles bere view our "present position as highly favorable in the event of Luiz venturing a general attack. Indian Affairs in Colorado Territory. The Governor of Colorado, who is also Indian Superintendent in that Territory, has informed the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that, in conjunction with the commission heretofore ordered to be ap• pointed, and with the assistance of Mr. NICOL AY, the President's private secretary, he has concluded a treaty with the Tabequache band of Me Indians, although they failed to secure their settlement. `On a reservation, there is a provision that such settle ment be inaugurated for a gradual consummation. "The lands ceded are," the Governor says, "probable the most valuable ever purchased by the Government om any Indian tribe, including, as they do, nearly all of the mining lands yet discovered in Colorado, and in addition a large amount of agricultural and grazing lands. The lands lie between the nth and 411. t degrees of north latitude. NICOL&v is now on the way to Washington with the treaty. In formation received at the Indian Bureau of the Omaha 'Superintendency state, that many of the Pollees and Winnebagoes have arrived there beg ging for food. The Indians from the Northern Su perintendency, sent to the upper country, are work ing their way down the Missouri river, and it is added, that, unless some action is taken, they will be scattered all arodhd the river, greatly to the in jury and annoyance of the whites; It is proper to say that, as soon as the suffering of the Indians be came known, tbe Government at once made pro-- vision for the required relief. - Grammar for the Soldiers. We hiffe seen it stated that some of the chaplains are instructing the soldiers in English grammar, and one of them says, "by the time the rebellion is set tled, we promise the good friends at home an alumni of grammarians, competent to fill the position of county superintendent of public schools; or any other position where useful and accurate knowledge is requisite." W. M. Cornell, LL. D., of this city, in the Oda ber number of the Union Monthly, has a full gram mar, which can be sent to the soldiers at five cents a copy, or five dollars a hundred. Several benevo lent persons, we learn, have contributed to send a large number of these to the soldiers. We have examined it, and believe it to be just the thing to occupy their spare hours profitably, keep them out of mischief, and prepare them for usefulness. We hope many thousands of it will be sent to the army. Arrival of Generals Garfield and Negley. General GARFIELD, of the Army of the Cumber land, was at the War Department this morning. General NEOLEY also arrived here to day. Seero. tary CHASE goes to Baltimore to-night to attend a Union mass meeting. • Death a llillitary Telegraph operator. JOHN H. O'NErim, United States military tele graph operator, of Pittsburg, Pa., a gentleman de servedly esteemed, died this evening at Alexandria, Va., of typhoid fever, aged 28 years. Important Order of the War Department. The following order liar just been issued in rela tion to evidence of military service : Pmisiox °wawa, Oct 28, 1863: No volunteer or drafted man is deemed to have been in the United States service unless duly mum• tered therein. When mustered, his service is re garded as having commenced at the date of his en. rolment. The evidence of such service is to be sought primarily at the office of the Adjutant Gene• ral of the United States Army ; and the rolls of that office, when complete, arrof the highest authority,. and cannot be contradicted by parol evidence. If there it believed to be an error therein in any case, the evidence intended.to correct such an error must be tiled in that office. When the Adjutant General reports that the proper returns of muster are want ing in any seas, the evidence will be Bought at the Provost Marshal General's, and if not there found at the office of the Adjutant General of the State in which the regiment in question was raised. ' The evidence of the , muster obtained from either of the latter sources when furnished, on request of this office, will be accepted in default of evidence from the Adjutant General. Evidence of the mils• ter out willte regarded 85 sufficient in any case if the date of enrolment is ascertained. If the name of the officer or soldier is found on the p rolls after the proper date of the, muster-in, further evil• de.ce of mustt r not be required: 'An.,cift:er dtdy muttered in aed afterweril prornoted, will be icgei ded as holding the rank at Which *he placed on the pay rolls. • 30 EPE ii GiABEETT., Vommi,apifiaeL THE ritYSS.-PHILADELPHLL TIECRSDAY.

'S.—The steamer Liberty No. E., Con nor, captain ; Hart, clerk, arrived last night at' 11 o'clock, with Memphis dates of the Filth. From the Bulletin I take the following account of operations in Gen. T. W. Sherman's new deportment. The advance-of the Union forces east from this point met with a sharp resistance on Wednesday, the2lat instant,'at Cherokee Station, on the. Mem phis and Charleston Railroad, about eight or nine miles this side of Tuscumbia, The troops of the "16th Corps met the rebels with their usual bravery, however, and soon made themselves masters of their position. -On the day previous a brisk cavalry tight took place near the same spot between a con siderable body of infantry and cavalry, in which six rebels were killed and fifteen wounded loft on the Held. OUT troeps went into the rebels with a shout, cutting and slashing right and left, and cleared them in short order, losing two mon and live horses killed. The 3d Regular Cavalry also went forward to par ticipate, but the Ohio boys had completed the job, This was on Tuesday. The cavalry then fell back to the rear of the advance of General Oaterhaus , division. Next morning (Wednesday) broke dark and low ering, with rain and fog. The movement of the Ist division of Gen. Osterhause, which wee to have been at six o'clock, wee delayed till night. The 2d divi sion of General lYlorgan L. Smith lay close up to the let, waiting until it should move ahead before striking camp. MalOr Generh Blair commanded both divisions. When General Osterhans moved forward toward Tuscun'ibia, he had not proceeded far before the ad vance, consisting of the 4th, 9 25th, 26th,r 50th (the 60th in the advance), and the Lklat Iowe; regi ments, encountered a large force, estimated at be tween 000 and 6 WO, under command of the rebel Generals S. D. 'Lc e, Roddy and Ittottardson. A heavy musketry fire wee immediately opened,,,and the fight was furious ler an hour, when the'rbbels fell back with heavy logs in killed and wounded. General Osterhaue hurried up eeveral 21-p2und Panottii, which - made havoc in the retreating col umns, and our whole divieione were soon on the ground. The lose on our eade will not exceed 100 killed and wounded. The bodies of Col. Torrence and Capt. Randall ar rived .here last evening, where they will be ern helloed and sent North to-day, in charge of Q. I - .), Gage, sutler of the 30th regiment. Col. Torrence lived at Keokuk, lowa. I-Te served with distinction through the Mexican war, and was one of those men of influence whose character was almost with out blemish. Commanding in, person, active, ener getic,. strict in discipline, and kind-hearted, he was held in great regard among his troops. lowa has lost one of her most gallant and worthy sone. It appears that the first known of the proximity of the rebels Was their driving in our pickets and forage teams. On their appearing in eight, the regi ments above named were immediately ordered into line, and skirmishers thrown out to feel their - posi turn. The enemy did the same, except that a large portion of their force had dismounted, and were lying in ambush. The advance of the enemy wore uniforms, and in the fog it was difficult for Tor. mime' to < distinguish friends from foes. He . . therefore ordered his men to cease firing and, approached the enemy, who were dressed in blue, and, when within a short distance, they opened tire upon him, piercing his body in many, places, killing hire instantly. At the same time they opened a murderous fire on our left, kill. inn "arid wounding the captain and adjutant above named.- For a few moments the 30th Regiment was thrown into confusion, but when Colonel Torrence's orderly • came back, announcing that their colonel was in the hands of the enemy, the men rushed for waid with a yell, recovered his body, and dispersed the rebels. They found that the corpse had been - searched, and all his money and his watch stolen. Our troops pursued the fleeing rebels back to his fortifications. A rebel despatch from Johnston was recently cap• tured, in which the rebel officers have been conjured not to permit our forces to open up the rond between Memphis and Decatur, SUCCESS 9F GEN I MoPHERSOWS EX.PS Omit°, Oct. 2B.—The Memphis Bulletin of the 26th says that Gen.

The gladiators in the political arena ate preparing themselves against the coming election day, which, If it does not literally decide, will, at least, make a pointed suggestion of the manner in whioh the State may be counted upon in the Presidential campaign. On both sides every nerve is being strained, and every resource exhausted, which may carry the day, or show a political gain as far as numerical strength is concerned. The election of an °Meer here . or there does not, in a city like this, atreot, in any de-•. gree, the status of a party which calls itself Dome. eratle ; for in the name, and not in the principles, lies its chief strength. Among the thousands . of emigrants, principally Irish, who yearly arrive here and scatter themselves, one political Idea in prethe minant, which is opposition to the aristocracy, 'Nee turally enough; the term democratic has a tails• inertia value, for, in their own country, democrat is exactly the Converse of aristocrat ; and, without inquiry, or being capable of inquiring into the peon liar significance of the word here, they make it the touobstoneof all their, political ideas, and vote the "straight ticket" without ever comprehending whit these votes may uphold. A moment's con versation upon this topic, with the clumsy, large" eyed beings, who stand gaping and grinning'within the precincts of the emigrant Una at Oastle Gar den; would convince the most incredulous of this feet. Her , 3io, then, lies the secret of the stability of the party in New York. The ingeniowt, open. hearted bog.trotter, feeling that he has at length cast aside the shackles which have bound him in his native land, is eager to assert his liberty by casting his vote as soon as circumstances will allow. He feels like a boy who has for the first time came into poeseselon of a penny, and he spends it irrationally, mrrely for the abstract pleasure of doing what he never was able to do before. And yet, with the sure support of this vast influx of voters from Europe, it seems hardly probable that the party, in the coming election, will do more than give a feeble indication of the fact that it still am rives its debility. That it will maintain Its full supremacy is scarcely poarible. The McKeon party, which consists of Mr. Mc- Keon, and a few unterritled friends, haS nominated for Mayor 0. Godfrey Gunther, dealer in raccoon skins and diseased badgers. He will probably be elected by a large majority. LOOPLL ITETYIS Much to the disgust of Gov. Seymour, the _quota of the State has been declared-to be upwards of sixty thousand, instead of thirty five thousand, 'as. had been previously stated. The whole number to be raised before January is not far from one hundred and ten thousand. These figures negate all hopes of avoiding another draft, if any have ever existed in rational minds. A. fund of $3,400,000 has been set aside by the supervisors for the purpose of stimu lating enlistments through the means of bounties, and every exertion will doubtless be made which can be of service in the matter. But the figures are con. elusively negative, and the snowy days will once more find the city thronged with Federal troops. The mob men are again growing somewhat trate over the proopeet, and threaten their long-deferred vengeance when the attempt is made. There is lit tle danger, however, of a recurrence of the riots: Gen. Scott haa already gone into winter quarters at llehnonico's, in Fifth avenue. On sunny days he may be seen in his carriage on the promenade, the observed of all observers. The General looks well, yet ears-worn and pale. " Jenkins " ia after him every moment of the day, and, as a consequence, he is deprived of much of the quiet which his waning powers demand. It is hard to appreciate the fact that this thoughtful, weary-looking man, is the same who, erect and flushed with health, only two years ago could be met on the West Point boat, the very incarnation of vigorous age. It is stated that he is now engaged upon a work of contemporaneous hiatory, which will Cast peculiar light upon the in ception of the rebellion and the plans of its leaders. This idea has been broached by these who, in com mon parlance, "ought to know ;" but the peculiar reticence of the General prevents any positive ascer tainment of its subject. The ship Francis A. Palmer, which arrived from Liverpool a day or two ago, brought into the hands of our polite and accommodating officials four of the piratical crew of the Florida. These fellows, after lounging about in Liverpool and London, without recervir g any wages from the Confederate banker, shipped, as a last resort, on beard this vessel. In formation reached the United States Marshal, by the Palmer, and they were at once arrested and held for examination. The "jolly, jolly tars" about the city, on furlough or awaiting assignment, threaten condign vengeance upon them, should they escape the authorities through the intervention of the British consul.

The Gridiron railroad nausea much embroilment, and what, with injunctions and dissolutions of injunc tions, it promises to be infinite.

The question has already invaded the do. rnaimof politics, and we have no tv railroad and anti railroad candidates for the vacant judgeships. STUYVESAKT, THE UNION MEETING EN BROOKLYN. Speeches of Commodore Meade and Mr. John W. Forney. A large Union mass ratification meeting was held in the Brooklyn dcademy of Music on Tues day. Two large stands were erected on the !street, in front of the building, from which thane who were unable to obtain admittance into the building were addrerced. SPEECH OF MR. JOHN W. FORNEY. Mr. John W. Forney was then introduced to the audience. He said that the two airs which they had just heard were sung by the sailors of :the North timeline-4 ship which was commanded by the bro ther of that great General who had saved Pennsyl vania and the Union before the 4th (if July last— Major General Meade. [Cheers.] He would take a.hberty with a personal friend, sada& to introduce Commodore Meade to the audience. 'AN INCIDENT --'PRESENTATI,ON Or COMMODORE Mr. Forney' turned round to where Commodore Meade sat close behind him, took him by the hand, led him forward, and presented him to the meeting. He WAS received with applause and three cheers, and acknowledged the public compliment paid him in these words: Apt ILb AID 'ENTLEMES.— This is my first public appearance on the • stage: [Laughter.] ,_I _did not anticipate to be anything else but an humble eibirerv- - er of the language of that love of country under which" entered its service at twelve years of age. [Applause.] You sec me now with hoary locks, sue up to this time I have never understood any other language than the scriptural language of Ge neral 'Washington, in his farewell address. Yes, to every child that language is intelligible who ever received a mother's love. Anil speaking in the same language,intelligible I say that this whole rebellion is the most wicked infamous undertaking ever conceived on the part of a few men who never loved the mother that cherished them. It is a most wicked effort to destroy this great nation, that has grow; eo great and beautiful, while yet scarcely an intent. This nation is like an infant child at its mother's breast in contrast with the nations of the earth. [Applause.] Yet we made more ra pid abides into life and beauty, religion and virtue, than our dear mother England, th at gave us birth. Then let us all continue to strive in that muse, reading and studying the language of that great patriot—that apostle in. heaven—General Waehirgton. [Applause:] General Jackson, in Mee demonstrated the power of the Union to those Iv lei en men—to John (I. Calhoun. who first created dissension in the South against the North. I pray you all—l am unintelligibly gifted in speaking—l know only one language—the patriot's language— the language of Washington 111 his Farewell Ad dress--the language of old Jackson, whose only lois take'in the world was that he did not hang Sohn C. Calhoun. [Cheers.) May God, in His infinite mercy, bring us to reflect and ponder in our. hearts tonight, as our mothers taught us the Lord's Prayer, and go to work, shoulder and musket, to put this in fernal and wicked rebellion down. [Applause, during which the gallant Captain resumed his seat.] MR. FORNEY'S SPEECH RESITICHD )}lr. Forney resumed. He had never witnessed, he said, save on one or two occasions, such an ovation as this, reflecting credit not only on the refinement oflhis metropolis but on its radical patriotism. [(beers.] He had come here, after a fatiguing jour ney, and having addressed a large meeting in Troy last evening, to address, as he supposed, an outside political meeting, and did not expect to be put for ward as the first speaker before such an assemblage as he saw before him. The' sentiment which was stirring up the mind of the country was one which must be perpetual. tho good State of Pennsylva nia, from which he came, the contest was fought upon pure Principle—upqn that principle which in -eludee love of God and love of cOuntry—not the principle of dead political parties. It was the first - time in the history of free government where the men who fought the battles of the country were for bidden to exercise the elective franchise. And yet they were prevented from' voting in Pennsylva nia by a colder man than that ((Winne who presided over the State of New -- York, Horatio Seymour. [Hisses.] But though the soldiers of Pennsylvania did not vote, the Union voters there defeated their adversaries by a majority of over fifteen thousand. HoWidid they defeat them? First, by ignoring all patties. They called- themselves the National Union party. They cultivated the aid of all loyal Democrats—of all men Who believed that the rebellion must be crushed, and that slavery must die—[cheers]—and they asked no further questions: . . On that bails they received, on the lath of October; no less than seventy thousand Democratic votes. There was not a county in the State in which he did not rind many of the leaders of Democracy so ope rating with the National Union party. ,He went to the oily of Lancaster, where lived a somewhat his toric character, James Buohanan---[hieees]—a man to whose election to the Presidency he hsd con tributed something, and to whose dethronement af terwards he contributed a little. [Laughter.] The Democratic journal of that town had an article the same morning, stating that he (Mr. F.) had been read out of the Democratic party, but he found that out of fifteen men of that town who had been leaders of the 'party, twelve of them were now co-ope rating with the National Union party. And so it was throughout the whole State, and so it would be, he hoped, in this State. His attention had been called in Troy to an article in the New York World of Saturday last. It reminded him of an incident. In 1858 he had been invited to deliver an acricultural aridness in one of the finest counties in Pennsylva nia. On the same evening he was asked to address the bolting Democracy of the town. To that he gladly consented ; for having solemnly renounced the pro.slavery Democracy, he wished to bring others with him. He there found an old Democratic office holder, with whom he remonstrated for putting his position in such danger, telling him that the best, thing he could do would be in the next issue of his , paper to at sail him personally. "Assail you," said he, "on what topic?. " Well" said I, "suppose you try the Forrest letter." "Oh," said he. "that's stale. . Even James Gordon Bennett is disgusted with that; but I will Bit down and charge you with leaving the Democracy and joining the Black Re publicans." " Yes," said I, " that will And eo the good old Democrat preserved hie friendship to me and at the same time saved his office. And Re, when the UV Id drags out this inanimate carcass of the le6rrest letter for the pupose of .injuring me in New York, forgive Mc. Mar ble. tint when he charges - me with having come to New York to abuse Democrats, there' cen• celve that I have a right to be offended. I come here to abuse no man, and no Democrat,. In tins fight he (Mr. F.) recognized no _party. Mea's prejudices tale lobe conciliated. They should give and take. There was nothing that should give_ . greater courage to patriotic men than the mannerin which the mea• sures of Mr. Lincoln had been triumphantly sus tained, not merely by their results, but by the peo• pie at the polls. The measures he referred to were, ~first, the draft, or conscription bill. That bill was passed by the Senate of the United Stares first with- Out a division. After being amended in the House it went bark to the Senate, and was supported by moot of the Democratic Senators. It had contributed grr attlt to the etrength 01 thearmy, and had received the ser clime of the people at the ballot-box. The fir xt par azure.' was the mispenidou of the writ of Mittens corpus.. :Well a course had always been fol.. lowed 'end sanctioned in times of war: and so it had bees sinetioneil by the people hoe, The...2 4 %24:e if" the matter of arbitrary arrests. There were two easel; one of them was that of a foreigner, named element L. Vallandighain ; he was en enemy tie isle country, and was properly,baoisCred by the Pee Aden; and the people of Ohio again beenehed him. Toe other was tee case of George P. Kane. of Baltimilre, who had done nothing but invite Secessionists to come and shoot - our Yankee boys in the streets of Baltimore. Me was lodged Ire one of the marble pa laces of the Government, and was now feasting on olinvas beak dinars at the Monument House in Bal timore. Another ease of arbitrary arrest was that of the Maryland Legislature. flat was rather arbi trary, to be aura ; but if it had not been carried out, the State of Maryland would have been before three days declared annexed to the dominions cf Self Davis. In the matter of arbitrary 'meats, therefore, the people sustained the President. So, too, in re gard to the corflecation measure, and to the abolition of slavery in the Distriet of liolumbia Then there was the proolamation of emancipation-qcheerel— which had been denounced by the eoemieli of the AA ministration no an absurdity, hut which was having great effect in the South. Then, again, was that tinenbial poliey of the Government with% had a wa knee the admiration and wonder of the civilized world,. that policy which had given to labor a con vertible and universal currency, which was expel ling from the channels of trade an irredeemable cur rency, and which was making the poor man feel, for the first time, that he was receiving his day's wages in-such money as he could trade off without being cheated. oAnd now the enemies of the Gavernmout were trying to frighten the people with the spectre of a great national debt. He was no finanoier, but ho believed that that, as well as every other difficulty, would be overcome. He trusted to Providence. He believed that the hand of God was with the country in this period of her suffering, Hed the national army woo the - first battle of Bull Run peace would have been made on terms disgraceful to the people of the North, and the mudsilla of the free States would have been lowered still more under the feet of the slave oligarchy. But God was with the nation. He believed that on the 4th "of July, 1843, God became the captain' of our armies and the admiral of our ricer. Tell me, said he, that man. did that. Tell me that two great decisive vlctorlea, at a period when the whole American heart was bleeding, were achieved by man. Tell me that man achieved that double deliverance, that rouble salvation. lod ap peered at Gettysburg and at Vicasburg on the of July. He has been with us everywhere since ; and He will be with ua everywhere hereafter if we are only true to oureelves. In conclusion he Bald that as a citizen of Penn sylvania he would leave the case with tam, and he had not the 'slightest doubt that they woitid decide it in favor of their country. The Russo-American Alliance CFrom the London Times, Oct 15.1 Whoever recommended the Russian Emperor to send a-squadron of frigates to New York may con gratulate himself on a great auccesS. Now that it is done we ace that 'it wan exactly the thing to do, and almost wonder , that it never occurred before to the astute politiciann of. St. Peteraburg. The resern blar.ces between-the United States and the Ruceije Empire have not only been remarked by every one who hen thought on the present and proba')le future stale of the world, but they have oreated a sympa thy between the two .Powera which is becoming stronger under, the influence of calamity, &sap poinled ambition, and the I . :embus of the civilized world. Both in heir arrogance and petulance of a few yenta Since and in their present tone of more limited pietensiona, the Americans and Russians have ahown an accord which indicates the gravita. tion of the two. Powers to a permanent alliance. In the palmy days when Nicholas affected to be the arbiter of the Old World, and the &merlon( Presi dents were conquering provinces in the New, the Constant theme of congratulation between the Re public and the Despotism was the decadence of all Powers but themselves, and the certainty that they would subject all the countries about them, one after the other, to their dominion. To what lengths the enthusiasm of the new Mil arm can lead a Federal audience is amusingly shown by the reported speech of Admiral Ligovski at a banquet giVen to himself and his officers. The health of the Emperor had been drunk with great applause, and the Admiral duly returned thanks. The praise which the American speaker lavished on his Majesty was, according to - Die Admiral; really deserved. 'De is certainly not only the benefactor of his subjects," exclaimed the . eloquent seaman, "be is the friend of mankind. [Cheers.] From what be has already done; from what he is doing every day, he is certainly entitled to thi same sur name which once a Roman Emperor claimed, The'delight of mankind.' " When we recollect that these words were spoken to and cheered vociferously by a people who have for eighty years_ been preaching to the world seltgovernmenf and the right of mankind- to he free, we may see how little strength political principles possess compared, with the impulses or fancied interests of the hour. The support of Russia is valuable, and therefore all the national traditions concerning nationality and popular rights are forgotten in a moment, and the servant of a despotic monarchy is applauded for saying that the Prince who is now ordering the massacres and confiscations in Warsaw, and whose rule has been officially denounced as atyranny by she most conservative Powers in Europe, is the "Delight of Mankind." Indeed, the community of the two great Empires, made more sensible by the mrcumstarce that both are engaged in "putting down rehele." seems to have been the idea presses.' natT to every one's mind. It wanted but thi4 make, perfect the union between the tw ons. .. ; Each will bid defiance to the world, on its just righti to • destroy evewpopulai 4 , oll -imd deva-s -° tate every province which dere to disarrange its plans of empire by !,,.ny such were as e " "lib rty and "independence." 'Mr. Stanton's Intlnstry. 0 The Editors of the Evening Post : hi a few numbers back of the Evening Post you have given from a correspondent an anecdote of Mr. Stanton's habit of marketing early in the morning— one, by the way, very common among gentlemen in Southern cities ; to which permit me to add another characteristic of the man, and illustrative of the pressure upon all persona employed in the War Department. An officer of high position relates that be was one of seven who passed The entire day, and night, until towards-day light, in official business with - Mr. Stanton; his short hand reporter taking down his orders. About the dawn the party-was dismissed, when, the nail's, for said, feeliug - overworked and his mouth parched, be thought he would go to the market and get some fresh fruit. On reaching here, to , hie surprise, he found Mr. Stanton, whom he had left with his secretary at work-in his office, and, accosting hint, said, " Why, Mr- Stanton, I supposed you were of rtainly in bed." "No," was the reply, " I am here, and hope to see yourself and the other officers i n tyr o - Moe at 9 o'clock." The narrator was puns tual to the hoed, and Worked that day until about it o'clock at night, when, the business being com pleted, Mr. Stanton wished him a good night's rest; but remained in his office some two hours longer, to finish his instructions. Such are the physical and mental exactions on this . rasn and on those•around him, and for the par formanee of which hie daily weed is •to he so:di:idly bersted by some quiet gentleman writing in his dr*RP lug gown, from the fullness of his ow.: borrowed wralh and false data. The Occupation of Arkansas. The St. Lords Union; of last Saturday, says : "In telligence has been received of the occupation of Batesville, Arkansas, by a body of troops detached from General Steele's force at Little Rock. There were three or four hundred rebel troops in the place at the time, but they evacuated the town, and fled before our Wises. Batesville is the most important place in Northwest Arkansas, and its occupation by our troops will be of material advantage in expel ling the rebel partisans from that region, and afford; ing arallying point for citizens who are ready to re. turn to their allegiance. General Fisk, command ing the - district of Southeast, Missouri. has sent troops several times on expeditions as far as Poca hontas, Arkansas, and will, before long, occupy' tnat point permanently. He is engaged in enlisting , are giment-in Lawrence county, of that State, and has met with encouraging success." The Shakspeare*Celebration As we have already stated, it has been proposed to celebrate, under the highest sanction and with the aid of all dassea of the immortal Shakepeare's countrymen and admirers, his three hundredth birthday, by laying, on the 23d of. April, 1864, the first stone of a memorial to be erected by public subscription in a conspicuous part of London. a. committee have charged themselves with the duty of inviting the sanction of her Majesty the Queen, the Presidency of the Pi ince of Wales, and tne co operation of all who either speak the language or ap• predate the genius of Shakspeare. Among the vice presidents are the Archbishop of York, the Duke of Manchester, the Earl of Carlisle, Charles Dickens, and Alfred Tennyson. The secretaries are W. Hepworth Dixon.; and Mr. Halliszell. The general committee comprises not only distinguished Englishmen, but prominent continental scholars. The appeal is made to all people who are interested in Shaltspeare, not because England alone could tint easily raise the funds for a monument to her most gifted s, in,- but it was with justice supposed that every civilized nation would be gln,d of an oppoAmnity to acknowledge its obligations to the reat poet, by uniting in. this testimonial. We infer from the fact that Ghvernor Smith has received en appeal from the secretaries, asking for the aid of Rhode Islanders in the good Work, that all our Governors must have been simi larly approached. Americans are very fond of Shakspeare, and some of them have done a great deal towards" illustrating and interpreting . his works. The country that has produced such bhakspearian commentators as John Quincy Adams, Gillian 0 Verplanck, Rev, Henry Hudson, Richard Grant White; James H. Hackett, and shall we say Abra ham Lincoln I and such Shakspearian actorsas For rest, the Booths, Charlotte- Cushman; Hackett, Davenport, Kate Bateman, and others we might name, may be safely relied on. we think, to con tribute largely to the erection of a monument to hint who "Was not for a day, but for all' time.”—N. Y. Express. —A correspondent furnishes the Petersburg Ex press with the reasons that induced General Pryor , n resignation of his commission as brigadier. The following is an extract: It So noon as he was relieved from command on the Blsckwater he reported to the War Department for active duty. He waited five months in vain for a command. To . a man of his active temperament such a position was absolutely intolerable. His su preme desire was to serve his country-in "the field ; and failing to obtain any assurance of a command within any definite period, no alternative was left but to resign and enter the ranks as, a private. It is proper to state that no , allegations of delinquency in duty were preferred against General Pryor. On the contrary, he has complimentary notices from all the superior officers under whom he has nerved. It will be seen, therefore, that the resignation of General Pryor was not prompted by pique, whim, caprice, caprice, or offence with the Government, but by a high sense of duty, and a determination to render active service in the held." THE. LAST STRUGGLE OP THE CONFEDERACY.— We find the tollowing in the New Orleans cocres• pondenee of the New York Hera/d: have very good authority in stating that the hopes of the rebels for establishing an independent Government are on the wane, and that this impres sion has found its way into the Richmond Cabinet, and there has excited considerable discussion, and measures have been suggested to make the last days of the quasi Confederacy as bloody as possible; that in, the Confederacy i 3 to die game. One of the measures suggested in the Richmond Cabinet is to concentrate the forces in some part of the Con federacy, collect all available army stores, crest a national citadel, and there fight till overpowered. Virginia is, to be abandoned if Rosecrans defeats Bragg, and the remnant of the latter's army is to fall back to Atlanta, where the final struggle is to take place. My informant, who hafsjust come from the heart of the Confederacy, assures me that pre parations are now being made at /thence to con summate, this plan as a dernior resort. The cause of the rebels is a desperate one, and daily becoming more so." EASTERN GENERALS.—The Eastern generals who have come down into the Department of the Cum berland seemed to forget that Washington was not among their baggage ; that " the Oity of Illagnilicent Distances' , was at last at a distance so magnificent so to render it impossible to go from war to Willard's i before bedtime. One of the generals—no matter which one—fairly telegraphed his way down from Nashville to the Tennessee. Imagine a man ordering thirty breakfasts and rooms for his suite at Stevenson, by lightning ! Stevenson, with its "Alabama House," a good piece of property to begin a new Tophet with, should the old one be burned out. Fancy him coveting a dinner at Bell Buckle, to which place the conductor exacted fare of a passenger, who pro fanely declared that he was bound for "the other Place. " get off at Bell Booklet," coolly replied the conductor;, it's the nearest station on the road to that torrid looality. ,, Picture the Ueneral from the Orient drumming up Bridgeport for the creature comfort of an inn with a Ronal and Juliet balcony—Bridgeport, where there is no house but a quondam sawmill, and no shelter but Sibley and dog tents rich with the dust of three States and rent by the winds of three winters. I saw him, even 1, seated disconsolately upon a fallen cedar, loafing at the flow of the river, and his thoughts plaintively moving to the tune of " Way Down in Tenn essee.”—Challaneoga Cor.

This b6iinty paid, based upon the fact that these regiments were fortunate enough —fortunate, under the circumetances—to be ordered to Harrlaburg. Can you inform those of us who were enlisted to accomplish the same common end, hut who were kept at Philadelphia by order of the merrier, why we are excluded parties in relation to said bounty I Thia exclusion is based upon the fact, it seems to us, that we were not ordered out ride of the city. For this we ought not to be held responsible, for in obedience to the Governor's call, we held ourselves in readiness to go anywhere, Is it fair to make fish of one, and flesh of another?

Angiolina Cordler, a delightful vocalist, whose performance of " norsh "is yet fresh in memory. Mr. Harry San derson, a young American pianist of distinguished merit, and Mr. Carlo Patti, whose merit as a via li4ist is already ncogniz9d, are also upon the pro gramme. These, independent of Mr. Gottschalk's own genius, form a fine attraction, which is made prodigal by the promised performance of a pianist generally regarded as one of the most brilliant of the time. Such an attraction few lovers of music will resist. THE SUISECEIPTION LIST TOME GERMAN OPERA_ will be closed on Saturday morning, at Mr. Gould'a music store, Seventh and. Chestnuts streets.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET, Plinknar,Pirti, Oct. 23,1563. Absurd reace rn Inas were flying about to-day, which tarp &Pressed the price of gold, but towards noon the demand became :itrong, and before the close the figure was 14731 f.

The Money market rules very easy, notwithstanding an aet ice &man d for speculative purposes; 6 per cent. is the 'ruling figtire for loans on good collateral; 5 on call. Prime commercial paper very scarce. The cash business. or at most 20-day credit, saves the mercantile community fv , m issuing long paper. The five-twenty loan is growing daily more in favor. The demand to supply Briropean markets is largely on thP increase, and it is already hinted that the term of subscription will be limited to fifteen days. We cannot tee the reason - for this, unless it be to favor the designs of E peculators, which we believe lo not the case, although parties are not to blame for desiring to monopolize and manipulate :a desirable a public secnrity. The stock r arket was in a panic this morning, and almr et everything on the list declined. The more spoon tive class felt the movement most severely, and for a. time it looked as if the late advance in some of them would be entirely lost. About noon the market assumed a firmer tone and a sharp upward movement, occdrred, and at the close prices were very nearly up to last eve ning's quotations. • Schuylkill Navigation preferred was the least affected by the panic, yet could not altogether withstat 1 the feeling of the market.

Extrect . from a letter received by a gentleman of this city, dated Ontanagon (L. S.), Oct. 12, 1663: "Among other matters, I should mention surfaces improvements at the Bohemian. The stamp mill is already - roofed in and ready for the placing of the machinery. It is a fine building, with roomy dressing fooro. and so constructed that all import ant improvements can he introduced without Moon venience. The sawmill and road are progressing finely. A word with regard to the underground lrospects. The lode now, especially on the X-fathom evel, is well charged with barrel arid stamp work. From all indiCations, you need not.be anrorieed to hear of quite heavy mass copper being met.' You know that, without any personal interest in the mine, I have always contended for its great value, end am happy to be able to say now that there is nothing to cause me to change my opinion, but crerythins fo confirm it. The openings are all being carried well forward ; but little stocking hags been done, though, by the close of this year, the manager will be able to double his working force, and then look out for big results. I am not at all surprised, as many are, at the comparative inac tivity of their stock, even in these times of excite ment in mining shares. Most of the holders know and appreciate the value of the Bohemian. are cer tain of. quick and handsome returns, and therefore don't care to see its stock knocked about among speculators." From this, and similar information received by us from private sources, we would advise holders of "Bohemian" stock to_ hold, as not many months can elapse without sending it up to at levet double its present quoted figures. .r.HRNOLOGICAL JOURNAL FOR NOVRIII BBF..—"We, have received from Mr. John L.
