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.

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

THE ritYSS.-PHILADELPHLL TIECRSDAY. OCTOBER 99. 1863;
OPERATIONS IN SLIFIRMAN,S
PARTICI:LARS OF TliF, RIOT AT CIRROIER
Forte Smith and Blunt Threatened.
°Arno, Oot. '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

THE (lobar% ELEOLION.
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

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

shipped, as a last resort, on beard this vessel. In
formation reached the United States Marshal, by

condign vengeance upon them, should they escape

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

believed that the hand of God was with the country

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

double deliverance, that rouble salvation. lod ap

In conclusion he Bald that as a citizen of Penn

had not the 'slightest doubt that they woitid decide

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.'

'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.

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. Chieavo Jour.

What Does It Mean t
To the Editor of The Pleas
Sar. : Y obeerved in one of the columns of your
issue of the 27th a statement of the bounties paid
to a number of companies who were malted in the
defence of the State to put down the raid made by
General Lee. 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?
Our city fathers acted. as we conceive, strangely in
this matter. Ey calling public attention to this
matter, you will oblige a large number of interested
parties. Respectfully,
Pita...L., Oct. 27. VER.TTA.S.
MR. GOTTEICITALR'I3 CONCERTS.—Mr.
concert last evening, at Musical Fund Hall, was a
great emcees in numbers and performance, and we
are glad to hear that he will give another first
claes entertainment on next Tuesday evening, with
the new Resistance of Madlle. 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_

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. Government' sixes (1891) were worth 11.0.'S";
seven-thirties, 10734: quartermasters' vouchers were
selling at 99; old certificates of indebtedness at 10334:
new at 9QV Sterling exchange advanced in the propor
tion of sold.
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. It declined 1 cont., but rapidly
recovered under the pressnre for heavy purchases. It
is generally understood that a dividend of five cent.
will be declared , early nest. month, in which case the
anxiety - to Procure the stock is explained...

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.

is, in my opinion, by far the most valuable of any I
have tried. The thorough operation of it is most
easy and simple, and itannobtrusive and quiet move
ments are very grateful to a weary head. The work
when done is wonderful in its strength. More than
two.thirds of all the work done in my family for
the last two years has been done by Grover ar.
leer's Machine, and I have never had a garment rip
or need mending, except those rents which frolic
some boys will make in whole cloth, and for them
your machine has, I suppose, no remedy but a patch.
