His Excellency Governor, CIIATIN, by
proclamation, published elsewhere in our

.called upon "- the good and

enroll themselves in their country's service.
-In issuing this call, it will be seen that the
Governor has deemed it unnecessary to
Offer argument or persuasion, as an induce
ment to any to enlist. Those who cannot
feel it incumbent upon them as a sacred
duty to give heed to this call, are not likely
to lie awakened to a true sense of their ob

reason however eloquent. While, on the
other hand, those who feel that the cause of
the Union is m sacred to-day ash ever was,
and in aimuch need of moral and material
stipport as it ever was, will, as "good and

appeal, and respond to it earnestly and

Governor Seymour in Error.
Governor SET:I.IOI:TR has been making a
speech at-Syracuse, New York, which is
chiefly remarkable for reiterating the favorite
Copperhead falsehood, that the war is
making no progress, and that our armies
have everywhere come fa a standstill. Gov.
SEvmorn says "This moment everywhere
our armies are on the defensive. • The ques
tion to-day What are we doing ?'
but 'What are the enemy doing The
question is—not Where do our generals
attack V but Where are we threatened ?' "
We beg leave to suggest that an individual
occupybig such an exalted official position
'as that of Governor - of the State of New
York should occasionally read the news
papers. Governor SEYMOUR evidently does
not, or he would have known that there is
not a word of truth in the passage we have
cited. In 'Virginia, General LEE has re
treated beyond the Rappahannock, where
:he' maintains an attitude of defence after
destroying the railroad to retard our pursuit.
At Charleston, our forces have resumed ag
.gresslve operations, and what the final re
sult Must be is as clearly known tp the re
bels as to ourselves. At Mobile, we learn
from Southern sources, an attack by the
Federal forces is speedily expected,. and the
enemy admit with unavailing regret that'
the garrison cannot possibly offer a success
ful resistance, in spite of the moral 'aid de
rived from dressing up their women in male
attire. And, finally, at Chattanooga, we
learn that BRAGG has been driven from
Lookout Mbuntain, while all the efforts
to , dislodge BURNSIDE in East Tennessee
have been fruitless. So much for Gover
nor BETBIGUR'S pleasant fiction that our
armies are everywhere upon the defen
sive. We do not mean to intimate that the
Governer wilfully uttered the misstatement
wehave quoted above. That he uttered it at all
- was, perhaps, rather his misfortune than his
fault. What he says might have been true
weeks or months ago ; and in charity it
must be borne in mind that, in canvassing
,New York to secure the defeat of the Union
ticket, he has delivered a Set speech com
mitted to memory. Thus the speech he de
livered at Syracuse, reported in yesterday's
New York. Work?, at three columns length,
is the very same speech as delivered by him
at Buifalb, and printed in the same journal
of Wednesday 1 How much oftener it will
be printed is of course altogethir optional with

Tlitulksgiiring flay,
The thanksgiving proclamation of Preci-"
dent Lra'corx invites the citizens of the,
'United States to set apart the 26th of No
yeriiber as a day of thanksgiving ' an&
prayer. The coMprehensive and deiout
spirit which breathes throughout that pro
clamation, whilst it leaves no room for
thoughtless comment, appeals to all the
purest and deepest associations of the soul.
It is re-echoed by the recommendation of
Governor CURTIN. Neither of these ap
peals partakes of the cold formality which
would seem to be inseparably. connected
with a set,' address to a nation 'and a Com-
monwealth; They hint, in few words, at
the special' causes we have for this special .
season of thanksgiving ; they appeal to the
hearts of the people with an unaffected sin
cerity which cannot be withstood.
Let it be remembered upon that clay by
miry fervent-loting citizen of these 'gaited
States, whether he be at home or abroad,
on sea or on land, 'whether he be sitting by
his own fireside, or whether far from the
scenes of his hived ones he wanders on a
distant shore, that he individuaffyi as; a
man, as a citizen, as a laVer of his family,
his country, and his God, has something
for which to offer up thanks upon that day,
rather than snpplication. RevieWiag the
past year, remarking the fertile fields,
the teerriing harvests, and the Life-bestow
log skies, and all other consecutive mercies
which follow in their train, he may bless
the Hand that poured this richness o'er the
scenes he broods upon—that lavish - Rand,
•holding. all earth and (item within its
palm, foroVer pouring forth .and never
growing empty. Whilst swords and spears
have indeed been busy in the battle-field,
the ploughshares and pruning-hooks have
been active in the harvest-fields of home.
Whilst those have indeed been helping
to decrease, the poPulation, these have
been at once the cause and the effect
of its palpable increase. The memo
ries Thanksgiving Day will be those'
of joy and sadness commingled. It will be
a pleasing and honorable thought that thus'
far wehave preserved peace With other na-'
lions. No circumstances have brought 2 us
to the issue of war with them. And whilst
harniony, has thus prevailed betw6.n us and
the nations across the Ocean, orderhas been
prNerved in Northern homes.. Legislative'
power has been recognized ; the inajesity
of law has been reverenced. Dark tints,
however, shadow the picture presented to'
memory's eye. Those ' who have, fallen
upon the battle-field; or who have lan-,
auished in hospital and tent, claim more
than a niche among the statuary , of the
past. They fill: a large share in those
glorioaa corridors, as they will fill a still
larger space in the sun-lit gallery of the
future. Their deeds are to be glorified ;
their sufferings arc to be lamented ; their
.memory is to be held forever sacred; them
selves are to be enshrined, as nothing but
such a death could enshrine them, in the
hearts of the American people. The hearts
and koMes with which they me most inti
mately connected cannot be altogether tran
quil and resigned amid the Memories and
time-honored observances of Thanksgiving
day. Before many eyes the present will fall
like a black, impenetrable veil, sprinkled, per
haps, with bright stars of distant reminis
cences.
But the future and the past are to be joined
together in the contemplations we fix upon
them. The struggles and the triumphs which
have marked the military actions of the
year evince, tci the full, the right and the
might which is upon our side, and the
leving mercy , of the universal God, : who is
thus conducting this nation to honorable
peate. Each individual success is to be re
garded as the harbinger of a greater ; each
honest man falling* the protection of the
Government he is sworn to love, cherish,
and obey, is a fresh pleader unto the ear of
the Omnipotent Jehovah. That cry will
not uo unheard. The voices of the spilled
blood will be an appeal which His ear will
not resist. With His own strong hand He
will lead His people unto victory.
In places of worship for prayer and
praise ; in quiet country homesteads, where
scarce a sound breaks through the wciocl
land stillness ; in bustling, teeming cities ;
in lonely woods, and by almost forsaken sea
shores ; along shipping-coasts, and far out
upon ,the deep ; in distant lands, where
seemiue. friends and.coal-faes combine to
delude or Persuade the loyal ; in every quar
tei• throughout the length and breadth of
the earth, will go tip to Heaven one voice of
one people. And whilst we moru:n the sins
of the past, feeling that
The rapture of pardon is mingled with fears,
And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears,"
we may yet look with unflinching trust
toward the future, and with unshrinking
eyes toward that beneficent Power who hath
led us thus far on our progress.
Mexico and the EnrOpean Powers.
The Mexican question is becoming more
and more complicated. Marshal FONEY,
commanding the French army in Mexico,
is said to have demanded large reinforce
ments from France, his only suitorters in
MeXico being the Clergy and their ad
herents. On the other hand, President
OrAnrz was not expected to allow Mexico
to become a French province without some
further effort to prevent it. He is accumu
lating the means and munitions of war, and
many. Mexicans have rallied around him,
aiding him with their servants and followers,
as well as with money and arms. A cam
paign against. foreign supremacy n will most
probably be commenced at an early period.
Further reinforcements from France are
therefore indispensable, if Marshal FORLY, or
his successor, is to hold his own in Mexico.
In France, however, this invasion of an
American Republicnever has been popular.
NKPOLEONhcIS concealed, as far as possible,
what his views are. General opinion, which
has every appearance of being correct, tends
to the belief.that "NAPOLEON undertook this
expedition 'chiefly with the purpose of ob
taining possession of the province of Sonora,
which would give him a footing on the Pa
cific coast, and one of the richest mineral
countries in the world, such as no other
European monarch has yet, we will not say
obtained, but even looked for. The Mexi
can. .
expedition is reported, in well-informed
Parisian circleS, to have already cost the
enormous sum of 680;000,000 francs, or
8186,000,000 of our money. This amount
appears_-Mcredibly enormous, but the state
ment has been made in a very positive man
ner. Say that we follow the old plan of
believing only half of -what the world says,
we have $68,000,000 spent on the Mexican
campaign, in less than two years, without
any other perceptible result, as yet, except.
that the French, with great difficulty and
much expenditure of blood and treasure,
are now occupying the capital of _ Mexico,
and that, on French dictatiOn, a small knot
of ten or a dozen "notables," Who would
sell their country for a trifle, have called
upon an Austrian prince to.rule over the
country, with the rank of Emperor.
Besides, what Power, except France, would
allow .the new Mexican . ruler men and
arms to support him on his throne?
France would not do so without having
all expenses paid, and how, if MAXIMI
LIAN declines to confiscate the immense
Church property, is Mexico to pay the cost
of maintaining a French army ? Every
cent expended, up to this time, by NAno-
Lnort 111., in Mexico, will have to be repaid
- him, in some shape, before the account is
closed. The surrender of
.Son Ora might be
accepted as au equivalent, and France, now
discontented with the cost of the unneces
sary invasion of Mexico, might have her
amour propro gratified by the acquisition, on
the Pacific, of an aureate colony, more
extensive than . one-half of the whole terri
tory of France proper,

PROCLAMATION OF THE GOVERNOR.
Call for Volunteers.'
irtiereiit, the President of the United Statea, by
Proclamation, bearing date on the seventeenth day
of October, instant. has called for THREE HUN
DRED THOUSAND VOLUNTEERS, :to recruit
the regiments now in the field from the . respective
States; and whereas, by information received this
day, the quota of the State of Pennsylvania under •
said call is declared to be THIRTY-EIGHT THOU
SAND, TWO HUNDRED AND 'six ry-EIGHT
DIEN, (38,268 :) and whereas, the President, in his
said Proclamation, requeets the Governors of the
respective States to assist in raising the force thus
required :-
Now, therefore, I, Andrew G. Curtin, Governor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do earn
estly call on the good and loyal freemen of this Com
monwealth, to enlist in the service of the United
States, under the Proclamation aforesaid, so that
the, required quota may be made up before the fifth
day of January next, on which day the President
'announces that a draft will commence for any defl
ciency that may then exist in the same.
The freemen of Pennsylvania enlisting, under thia
call will be attached to regiments from this State.
All who are willing to enlist are requested to pre
sent themselvei at once for that purpose to the
United States provost marshals' recruiting and mus
tering offices, in their respective cities, towns, and
counties. They will receive the following sums as
allowance, pay, premium : and bounty, viz :
To every recruit who is a veteran volunteer, as de
fined in general orders -of the War Department, of
June 25, 1863, No. 191, for recruiting veteran volun
teers, ore morith'a pay in advance and a bounty and
premium amounting to $402. To all other recruits,
not veterans, accepted and enlisted as required in
existing orders, one month's pay in advance, and, in
addition, a bounty and premium amounting to $302.
Any further information desired CALL be obtained
from the provost marshals of the respective districts.
In snaking this appeal to the good and loyal free
men of Pennsylvania, I feel entire contidence that
- it will be effectually responded to. The approaching
expiration of the term of- enlistment of the men
now in the field renders ft necessary to replenish
our regiments. Let us maintain theeglary which
their valor and conduct have reflected on the Com
monwealth,-and let our people show, by their
promptness and alacrity on this'occasion, that they
have not abated in courage or love of country, or in
the determination that the unholy rebellion, already
stunned and staggering, shall be utterly crushed and
extinuglahed.
Given under my hand and the Great, Seal of the

THE OHIO ELECTION—A NOVEL ORDER.
The news of the favorable result of the Ohio deo

Correspondence of the CineiLnati Commercial.
There are many stories current in camp, as to
what Gen. Rosecrans replied to Bragg when he ap
peared before Chattanooga on the morning of the
Tuesday following the battle, demanCdng the sur
render of Chattanooga. He accompanied the de
mand with the information that if not complied
with he should ahell the town. Roßecrans re
, ,
ceited the flag and messenger with great courtesy,
and returned for answer, << Shell and be ; this is
none of my town." . .
The /apace sent in the direction of-Chattanooga,
from l'fferaphis, have had several small engagements
with a body of the enemy on the 'Breathe Memphis
and Charleston Railroad, the latest reported toeing
tight or nine miles west of Tuscurnbia. -It is said
that the rebels have strong. fortifications `at-Tus
cumbia, and wilimake a strenuous effort to' resist
the advance of the Federal column. This place is
situated in Franklin county, Alabama,. five miles
south of Florence, and a few miles below the Muscle
Shoals of the Tennessee river. It is forty.one mites
west of Decatur. the junction of one of the railroads
connecting with. Nashville. The Tennessee river
flows within four miles of the place, and is now
navigable for gunboats that far. The rebels will
probably not make a protracted stand here, but it is
reported they will endeavor to capture and hold De
catur, where a Considerable battle iLe expected to
take place soon.
Decatur is one of the oldest and most prominent
.towns on the route of the reinforcements now going
to Chattanooga, and is situated on the south bank
of the Tennessee river, in the northwest part of
IVLorgan county; Alabama. Thetown contains about
one tbOusand =habitants, auti:is located on a nigh
bank displaying red clay, remarkably firm, and near,
the water 'a edge slops out a stratum of gray lime ,
stone. The river at this point is straight, running
from southeast ,to northwest,"and is six hundred
yards wide. Opposite are two large lakes; several
miles in length, about two hundred yards wide, and
ten to twenty feet deep. The surrounding country is
gently undulating; not remarkable for fertility, but
producing a fair yield of cotton, grass and the se*
real grains. The railroad passes directlythrough
the town, formerly crossing the . river, upon a bridge
1 560 feet long, with a "'draw" 140 feet wide, to ad.:
-mit-the passage of small boats plying between-Knox
ville and Brown's Ferry, twelve miles below the
place. -
The Abingdon Virginian, says: Gen. 'Wei. E.
Jones, by recommendation of Gen. Lee, has been
SEgiabed 1.0 Mg Alommand of tho. cavalry iOreeti in
Southwestern Virginia and East Tennessee. In a
subsequent paragraph the Virginian says' the caval
ry forces of that department nave been - divided be
tween Gene. Williams and Songs. • •
Five regimentirpasted through Oumbortand Gap
about ten days since to reinforcoMumaide. •
Speaking of the late raid, the Virginian says :
The enemy came within set-en miles oT Abingdon
on Friday, and within live and a half of where Gea.
W. E. Jones had formed his line of battle. There
are hundreds of estimates of their numbers, varying
from 1,500 to-15,000, but from the bestinforrnation - we
can get, they passed through Bristol, with between
3,000 and 5,000, and eight pieces oT artillery.
The Lynchburg Rtptiblican of the 24th says:
Passengers frotn the West last night, report that
our pickets at Blountville, nine miles below Bristol,
were driven in on Thursday evening by -a heavy
force of the enemy, who are again advancing to
ward Bristol, our troops retreating before them. It
is stated the -- Yankees in this section have been
largely reinforced, and prompt steps-will have also
to be taken by our authorities to arrest their ad
,
or the Southwest will be overrun and de
vastated, ..
The Lynchburg /epublican, of the 26th, says
The - Yankees are reported to have occupied Brie.
tol again on. Friday evening, in , force variously
stated at from 6,000 to 10,000, - Our troops retreated
before them, but had made a stand a short distance
this side of Bristol, and would dispute the further
advance of tlae'enerhY. -
The Knoxville Register, of the 2313, stiya :
The bridges across the Chickamauga, the de
struction of which has interrupted liragg , s move
ments, having - been replaced, if r ebent heavy, rains
do not interpose further obstacles, the plan of the
campaign designed of compel the evacuation of Chat
tanooga will be speedily executed. Sherman, with
his two divisions from North Alabama, has certainly
joined Rosecrans, but it is bcliev,ed that the advance
. of further Federal reinforcements will' be seriously
retarded.
The same paper, of the 24th, says
It seems that Gen. Stevenson's ultintate destine-
Con is Knoxville. But for this opinion we are in
debted solely to vague rumors: It his force•be su-
perior to that of Hooker, we may, expect this Gene
ral, who won an unenviable immortality-at Chan
eellorville, to retire upon Cumberland Gap, or cross
the mountains at Sparta. That the whole Federal
force in East Tennessee may be captured is by no
means utterly improbable.

Situation—Jeff Davisin ittoistit—
NCWB and Opinion.
The Richmond Whig of the .•7th has a leading arti
cle on General Grant, in which unwilling- credit is
given to that (lacer for his successes en the war.
The Whig is evidently alarmed at the prospect of
affairs at Chattanooga. It soya:
"When adequate means are at his disposal he has
ihown that he knows how to use them when occa
sion offers, He -is quick, and that is more than can
be said of very many Confederate generals:, He has
now three kirgearrnies concentrated under him, em
bracing in the aggregate probably twice as many
men as he has ever before commanded. Theme ar
mice have been weeded of incompetent °Miler/ to a
great extent. His Government, appreciating" the
'tremendous risk of failure at Chattanooga, has se
lected him, as its most, successful general, to com
mand at that point—has given him half, if not mime
than half, its effective force in the field, and staked
on him literally everything ; for if he is beaten the
game is up.
"Has our Government done as much for our
caned? Has it selected its most successful general.
and the one who most enjoys the confidence of both
the soldiers and the people? Has it concentrated
three armies tinder him? Has it sent out its Scare
tray of War and Quartermaster General to confer
with him? Stanton and Bleigs are now in Nashville
with Grant. President Davis has been to Bragg's
heaequarters. D. H. Hill has been relieved. and
Pemberton has found it inexpedient to accept Polk's
place. Forrest is lost. to Bragg , s artnv, and so is
Polk. Who will succeed them? In fine, are we
prepared to give Grant a .reception unlike that he
met at Bertelsen anti Shiloh, or are we again en
couragirs: his luck by our own folly? We hear of
the plans of the noble Longstreet, under the super
vision of the heroic Bragg ; but does this meet the

THE 61C17,171tU OY Tnic ItENIST, nn.me AT JAVIL.IICYOOI:
[From the Einhmond Examiner, Onicher 27.]
The seizure of the rams said to be in course of con
struction for the Confederate Government was So
clearly foreehadowed in the recent apeeoh of Lord
Russell at Blairgowrie that it excites no surprise.
It will be a bitter disappointment to the high hopea
that had been formed of their efficiency and influence
uponethe tate of war by the sanguine minds of our
People, yet it admits of great doubt whether their
importance to our cause was not much overrated.
Bright visions had been conjured up of the blockade
towhee and the enemy's cities bombarded. We should,
however, reflect that the construction of a vessel
adapted to resist the violence of the North Atlantic
galerseend to cross the ocean from Europe to Am
non, neceesitates a lighter armament and a thinner
, mailirg of iron than those intended solely for coast
or harbor defence. The monitors already possessed
by the Yankees, and the still mole formiaable ones
rapidly advancing to completion, would be superior
to any we would be likely to receive from Europe,
and "consequently no n such great results could be an
ticipated from them as come ardent imagioations, of
both Confedeeates and Yankees '
have depicted. The
Gloire—the boast of the French navy; stated by Ad
miral Paris; in a recent work. to be superior to the
Britiehahip Warrior-ehas a plating of twelve cent'•
metres, lees than five inches. The monitors have in
many Instances, eight and ten inches. Not having
to consult buoyancy'and safety to the same extent,
they, can be made more formidable for the purpose
'of fighting in harbors or in smooth water.

[From the Richmcnd Whig. Oct. 27.]
Commissioner Robert Odd returned on Saturday
from an interview.with the Yankee Commissioner
Meredith, who gave our commiesioner to understand
that he had no power to negotiate for any further
exchanges ; that Secretary Stanton had been oppo-
Bed to any exchange of prisoners during.the war, and
that his policy had come to be the policy of hie Go
vernment.
CommiegionerOuld inquired why he Clreredith)
had not answered his last correspondence, and •erre
redith re - Weil - that be had sent the letter to his Go•
vernment for its action. ,The interview here ended,
and it is probable it will be thelatt, unless the desire
for its renewal comes from the other side.
The Confederate Government holds now prisoners
equal in number and rank to the Yankee Govern
ment. Stanton's plea for his policy or no exchange.
Is that our stmies are recruited •by the exchanged
prisoners, and his idea is, that by catching them all,
at various times, and holding them, the armies of
Generals Lee and Bragg will become "small by, de
grees and Iteautifully less." A good Yankee idea,
truly.
PERSONAL
-- One of our exchanges has the following remi
niscences of General James S. Negley "He early
distinguished himself in the present war by die•
covering and thwarting the design of the thievish
Floyd, who undertook to transfer the ordnance and
ordnance stores of the arsenal at Pittsburg to the
South. Though access was denied by the traitorous
Officer in command to all but initiated rebels, yet
the sagacious and indomitable Negley forced an en
trance to the arsenal through a coal scuttle, and
gained knowledge of their designs, and with jack
genial' promptness took the responsibility of arrest
ing ptocedures, and saved those cannon from being
used againet Fort Sumpter by the treacherous
Beauregard."
General John Cochrane publishes a letter In
reply to the attacks upon him by Copperhead
journals, the staple of which is that he was, some
time during iSet, opposed to coercion of the South
ern States, and in favor of a conciliatory policy.
Mr. Cochrane has the manliness to admit that at
one time he did hold such views until the bombard,
scent of Sumpter exploded them. Mr. Cochrane
also notices the charge that he made a disunion
speech at Richmond, while - there in March, 1861.
He says :
. 1 The Virginia State Convention was at the time
holding its sessions at Richmond, and I went -in a
private capacity to learn what I hoped—the success
of the Union men in preventing the secession of the
State. On my arrival, I was importuned by the
TTnion men to make a speech to the citizens of
Richmond. lat length complied, and was assured
by the Hon. Mr. Willie, since United States Servitor,
and the Hon. George Summers and others, of the
'benefit I bad conferred on their cause.:)
General Carl Schurz, who is now commanding
a division in Alabama under Hooker, has written
an eloquent letter, urging the support of the Union
ticket in Whiconsin, and briefly but ably reviewing
the issues which divide the parties at this time.
Gen. Sigel said a grand thing in his speech at
Rochester. He glanced at the negro question, very
forcibly ridiculing the silly prejudice against the
blacks, and the jealousies that were being stimu
lated in the nation against the rivalry of 4,000,000 ef
people: " This nation was not made for 40,000,000

Of Rosecrans the Louisville Journal says : "We
never saw the noble old veteran and victor in finer
health than he, enjoys now. And he is calm, confi

the Army of the Cumberland in. good hands, and he
evidently awaits the investigation, if anyis intended,
of his own conduct without the shadow of appro.

,To the Editor of The Press:
Sin: The time is fast approaching for the grand
dedication of the National Cemetery Grounds, , at
Gettysburg. Whatever interest the citizen may at
tach to this important event, the soranna feels that
it will be an occasion of infinitely more interest to
him. But, however desirous Permsylvanialsoldiers
may be to attend the funeral honors of their late,
comrades, it will be impossible for them to partici.
pate unless some special arrangements arc made" in
their behalf. In the first place, there are quite a
number of soldiers from the Army of the Potomac,
on detached service, throughout the State, who
should certainly be allowed to go and pay this last
tribute of respect to their departed brothers. Again,
there are hundreds of Pennsylvanians who formed
part of the Army of the Potomac at Fredericksburg,
who fought manfully under Hooker at Chancellor.

•Gettysburg. had not their time expired some months

old Commonwealth to extend a,general invitation to
these brave defenders of her soli to be present on
that solemn occasion 1 Let not only the invitation
be given, but let the State show her regard for their
past services by furnishing them transportation,
either wholly or in part, so that none may be de
tained at home on account of the expenses of the
trip. Such an expenditure of the public funds
would meet the approval of every loyal man. It
would convince every, soldier that his services were
fully appreciated, that the trials he has endured and
hardships he has undergone were not fining of
their reward. As one who feels deeply in the mat

Wowic Poi; WOM.E.N.—New fichla of labor
are constantly opening in this, as in other cities, of
employment for women. The female sex are dis
placing the male, or at least filling their places, in
almost every branch of lighter industry. It is an
evidence of progress in a right direction, and cannot
but be viewed with satisfaction by everyone whc; is
at all anxious for the amelioration or the condition
of hunanity. It is consonant with- our democratic

The American woman dares to intrude in every
work that is not evidently denied to her from
reason of her sex. 'She is in the hospital as a faith

drawn off floin the counting-housea and workshops
so many of the young men of the.land, there has

girls being compelled to leave off the promenade or
give up the reading or every trashy novel the in
stant it receives its yellow cover, is feet dying
away ; nay, there is a growing prejudice among many
right-thinking persons in the other direction.
It is no longer thought the highest honor that a

should be a female id becoming to he considered as
necessary as that only a strong man should be a
machinist. The retail stores on Cheatnut and other
etreete have nearly all ladies in attendance, and no
one can question their fitness and competency. The
youth who, in years gone by, would loom longingly
for the end of his school life, that he might embrace
"fifty dollars a year" as a counter-jumper, looks
now for something higher and better adapted to his
manhood. Measuring yards of ribbons, and retail
ing ladies' kid gloves, laces, and embroidery, is not
the moat dignified avocation for young hien who
wish to be thought masculine. In a large retail
store there is scarcely any department in which a
gill could not act aceeptably to her employers and
customers. It is only in the carrying of heavy
weights that she would be deficient, but this is
seldom required.

TEE NEW MUSICAL SOCIETY.—The 111US1-
clans of this city are earnestly engaged in the work
of perfecting the organization of a Musical Protec
tive and Beneficial Union. A new scale of prices is
to be adopted ; and we are assured by the Secretary
that no extortionate measures are in contempla
tion, but that the advance on the old prices will be
no more than the monetary status of the time de
mands. As a beneficial organization, the success of
the old Musical Fund Society has already demon ,
Wetted what can be-done in that way ; and as the
present association is of colossal proportions, and
contains among its members - all the available talent
of the city, results may be expected lasting and be
neficial to all branches or the musical profession.

AN I...XPLANATION.-111 the case of Wil
liam E. Evans, of Holmcsburg, and not George
Evans, of Britlesburg. bound over by Aid. Welding
to answer at court the 'charge of rescuing a boy from
Augustus Dorsey, mentioned in The Press of yester
day, we are requested to state. that he was simply
actuated by motives of humanity in his interference;
that he considered such necessary to save the boy
from what he conceived to be brutal treatment. ..
Mr. Evans entertains the notion that a colored
roan is not a citizen, and, not beiag a citizen, has no
right to arrest anybody. Upon such a basis he, of
course. erects a superstructure of what he considers
humanity.

CITY ITEMS.
Plain Facts tor the. People about the
Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine.
[At the request of numerous readers, especially
among those who are now using the Wheeler Sr.
Wilson Sewing Machine in their families, and who
feel a commendable interest in having it universally
adopted, we republish the following article, contain
ing facts worth remembering, about that world
renowned instrument.]
It would be folly to attempt any higher eulogy
upon the world-renowned Sewing Machine of
Wheeler & Wilson (sold in this city at their elegant
wareroome, No. -704 Chestnut street,.) than the state
ment of the -fact, that wherever tl Wheeler &-
Wilma. Sewing Machine has been exhibited, for
competition, either on this or the other side of the
Atlantic, it has, without a single exception, taken
the highest premium. So true is this that wherever
this compliment has been extended to any other
machine, it may be taken as proof positive that the
Wheeler .& Wilson instrument was not exhibited at
all. This, in itself, is such a telling fact, that to '
multiply words about it, to people of intelligence,
would be useless. Nevertheless, there are a number
of incidental facts connectecl_with this favorite ma
chine that the people ought to know, a few of which
we eall the attention of our readers to to-day, in the
following order:
lat. The yearly sales of the Wheeler &
Sewing Machinea (sold in this city at No. 704 Chest.
nut street) are larger than those of alk the other
sewing machines combined.
2d. ,The immense manufsetory of the . Wheeled &
Wilson Sewing Machine Company, at Bridgeport,
Connecticut, is one of the wonders of the world. It
occupies upivassis of four acres of ground, employs
more than a thousand of the best workmen in" the
United States, andovith the most improved ma
chinery, the company find it impossible to supply the
great demand for their machines in thin country and
Europe.
3d. The Wheeler & Wilson Machine is ;..n instru
ment of infinite versatility in its operations. It
will braid, cord. bind, tuck, gather, fell, and hem
mote beautifully than any other machine in use;'
and by attaching et email arrangement, called a
" trimmer," any kind of trimming may be cowed on
dresses without previous basting.
dth. Bindings may be put on the edges of any kind
of garment, hat, or cap, without any other adjusting
than that performed by the machine itself white in
the act of sewing them on.
6th. The Lock-Stuck made by the Wheeler ik
. Sewing Machine, is more durable and more
beautiful than that made by any other, and has these
advantages, that it presents the same appearance on
both sides of the fabric, and will not ravel. It is also
more economical, requiring one , third less cotton than
any othor kind of stitch.
Again : this beautiful stitch, being the same on
both sides, it is not necessary to userthe extremely
fine sewing cotton required by those machines which
make a stitch with a ridge on the under side, that
can only be concealed by a thread too delicate and
fine to bear ordinary wear.
6th. The bobbin which holds the under thread in
the 'Wheeler & Wilson Machine is so constructed
that when empty no care-and very little time is, re-
(mired to fill it. The bobbins on the situate ms,
chine, on the contrary, require considerable care in
order to wind the cotton on them evenly, and if the
winding is done by an inexperienced hand. the re
sult is, the thread will not unwind freely, and will
break.- •
lth, The simplicity a the Wheeler a: Wilson Ma
chine renders its movements so easy that a child
car. work, the weight of the feet alone being
cient to move it. It will work with all kinds of
sewing sin:, cotton, or linen thread, and will sew all
hinds of materials, from the thinest guava to the
tenvieet cloth or leather. It is need by thoneande
of tsilors, dressmakers, hatters. capmakeri, hoop.
skirt manufacturers, bkirtmakers, and seamstresses.
8111. For Topidit!, of inotien, the Wheeler & Wilson
Machine excels all others, as has bean demort-
ended, a thousand times by comparison.
sib. It is so noiseless in its operations that con
venation nay he carried on in the ordinary pitch of
voice in'a workroom where a score of machines are
n motion
10th. Another very grext advantage that the
Wilcoler & Wilson Machine. possesses over othera t is
found in the fact that the work on it is carried on in
he natural way, from left to right, which eaablea
the operator to adjust the work more readily, and
without any change from the upright posture, while
machines which carry the work from the operator
rcquiro an inclination of the body (detrimental to
the health) in order to adjust the material as it
panes from under the needle.
11th. As an ornamental piece of workmanship the
Wheeler & Wilson instrument is worthy place in
the most elegantlpfurnished parlor—a fact which
renders it peculiarly desirable and appropriate as a
gift Some of the cases are of rosewood, walnut, or
mahogany, furnished with sets of drawers for the
rrception of cottons., sewing silks, &c., and when the
doors are closed there are few articles of furniture
more exquisitely beautiful.
For there and sundry other reasons, no household
in the land is complete without a Wheeler & Wilson
Sewing Machine.
They are within reach of everybody, being made
to suit all tastes and circumstances ; and the plain
est in finish, which costs $45, will work as well as
one which costs $2OO.
Out out the above facts, on our recommendation,
and post them conveniently for future reference, and
when you want the beat Sewing Machine the
world, take our advice and go to the office of YWheeler
& Wilson's new agency in this city, No. 704 Chest_
nut street, and get it.
BEAUTIFUL NB,' ESTABLISHMENT- AT
SIXTH sin CHESTNIIT.—Thoee who have passed
along Chestnut street within the last few days will
have noticed the elegant new establishment of Ur.
Linford Lukens, on the northwest corner of Stith
street, for the sale of Gentlemen's Furnishing
Goode. Mr. Lukens was formerly located at No.
31 South Sixth street, where he had a large
patronage, though in making his present removal
be has acted wisely, from the fact that he has now not
only one of the most desirable business locations in
Philadelphia, but one of the most attractive stores
in which to offer his goods. The display of elegant
wares in this department made by Mr. Lukens is
richly in keeping with his whole establishment, and
presents attractions to buyers of Gentlemen's Fur
nishing Goods equal to any other in the United
States.
TIM ADVANTAGES OF .A - GOOD PERSONAL
APPEARAVCR can hardly be overestimated. Dressing
well hence becomes an invaluable art. No man
can do justice to his form and figure unless his
clothes are in good taste and a good fit. In view of
these fads; we advise our readers to patronize the
popular establishment of Messrs. C. Somers & Son,
No. C 25 Chestnut street, under Sayne's Hall. Their
garments have a degree of grace: and elegance that
is universally remarked, both in their ready•made
and customer departments. Their prices, moreover,
are very reasonable. •
MESS.RS. WOOD & CARL, No. 725 Chest
rut street, now otter, at the retail department of
their celebrated old establishment, the most exten
sive and handsomest aesotted stock of headgear for
misses and children in Philadelphia;'whilst in
fashionable fall and winter Bonnets for ladies;. the
continuous rush 'o obtain them is the best proof
that their display is popularly admired.
FOR THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHS made in
Philadelphia, or the Union, go to Diesel's. Wends.
roth and Taylor , s, Nos. 912, 914, and 916 Chestnut
street (formerly Broadbent' & Co.'s), but go as early in
the day as possible. This advice is valuable, because
the pressure at their rooms to orrtain pictures is so
great, that going late in the e.fternoon is liable to
subject parties to disappointment.
THE TRUE SECRET OF MAKING HOME
HArrr consists in showing, by thoughtful acts of
kindness, that your family is not forgotten by you
when away from home. And in no way can this be
more delicately or acceptably expressed than by car
aping home to them frequently a budget of E. G.
Whitman & Co.'s delicious Confections. ' The store
of this firm, No. eiB Chestnut street, presents the
most attractive appearance to lovers of fine Confec
tions of any in this city, and the peculiarity of all
their elegant preparations is, that they are all made
from perfectly pure ingredients.
WAR WITII ENGLAND Alia) FRANCE-
It is is now confessed hp the rebels that their only
hope of success is in foreign -intervention in their
behalf and as England and France are both jealous
of our national growth, and naturally desire a dis
ruption of the States, a brush with thoie two
Powers before "this cruel war is over," is not the
most improbable thing in the future. Come what
may, however, we can promise in advance that the
beet place in the United States to buy Coal, of the
best quality, and at moderate prices, will continue to
be, as heretofore, at the yard of W. W. Alter, 'Ninth
street, above Poplar.

Tam AFGHAN, or, carriage blanket, as it
is commonly termed, though fora number of years
a favorite piece of crochet work, still holds its place
as a winter diversion among the ladies. 01 late,
however, fewer have 'been Matte in consequence of
the scarcity of ms.terial—the yarn termed cable ze
phyr, of which it was made, having gone entirely
out of the market: This defrciency has lately been
met, and the ladies can,again acid the Afghan to their
needle amusements,, and again its genial colors will
flash upon the streets. The yarn to which we refer
is a Philadelphia manufacture. Its texture com
pares well with the German.zephyr, and in colors it
is not surpassed by the finest 'European dyes. It
knits well, and is adapted for various uses. In price
it is much lower than common zephyr—an item
worthy of consideration in these times. It is termed
Germantown 'Wove, and can be had at Mr. John ht.
Finn , s store, southeast corner of Seventh and Arch
streets, stand 'lately occupied by Mr. John Mustin.
Samples- of this article, made up into breakfast
shawls and evening , mantles, can be seen in his win
dow. Persons requiring stocking yarns will also do
well by examining his assortment, which comprises
good selections from variona markets.

assortment of blue mixed, gray mixed, black mixed,
and pink mixed yarn, suited for _home and soldiers'
uses. His stock comprises selections from markets
"In New Jersey, this, and several New England
States, and includes some of the finest wools and
makes yet offered to the Philadelphia consumer.
Persons requiring woolen or cotton .yarns, for any
purpose, will be rewarded by examining his stock
before making their purchases.
IMPORTANT TO KNITTERS —STOCKING
Yansm.—Persons desirous of securing a good article
of woolen knitting yarns suitable for men's, ladies',
and children's wear will do well by examining Mx.
John IVI. Finn's stock at the stand southeast corner
Seventh and Arch streets, lately occupied, by Mr.
John Muslin, whom he has succeeded. These yarns
are made from the best fleeced and pulled wool,
and are superior in Emitting and roundness to any
yarn offered to the consumer. ,They comprise some
of the finest dyes, including the richest shades of
Pilesents, new blue, and scarlet. lie has teen
enabled to secure a very fine white yam,- suitable
for infants' wear—an article that has long been out
of the mai ket, though much needed.
OLD-FAsnroNun CosrumEs.--An ancient
writer of a hundred and fifty years ago thus describes
the dress of a bridegroom of his time : " The upper
most garment which he wore was a long robe of
crimson velvet, lined with sables, the buttonholes
set with clasps of massy gold delicately imagined,
his waistcoat was a stuff` of the richest brocade gold,
roost curiously cut, and with diamond 'buttons; hut
girdle was of fine Turkey leather, embroidcred with
gold. and clasped with diamonds. Fie also wore a
rioh muff, which was given him by his ladye love."
Tide style of getting : up might have suited a dandy
of A. D. 1113, but, for the present era, a gentleman
to be well dressed would do wisely to avoid all such
flummery, and wear only the elegant garments made
at the Brown Stone Clothing( Hall of Rockhill
Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut street, above
