An immense concourse of the patriotic people of Camden assembled at the county court house, on Saturday night last, to participate in the last tally for the Union of the preseit campaign. The meet; ing was presided over by Genvral George M.-Robe son, of Camden . , who made a well-timed and elo quent speech, which was received with unbounded' applause. General Robeson, in the course of his remarks, stated that his political creed was without reference to the-individuals before the country,'but WAS em bodied in the simple resolutions which he saw latvly Resolved, let. The rebellion is unconstitutional. ed. It is constitutional to put it down. ' 3d. Our candidates go to put down the rebellion. 4th. :We go for our candidates.

The candidate for the As sembly, Dlr. Brink, they knew. He has always been identited with the industrial interests of liatn• den. No man bad done more for the interests of the workingmen of this city. In addition to this, - the nomination was entirely unsolicited. Your candidate for the Senatorial position is well known to you.

The tirst principle of Democracy is to stand by your Govern ment and your country right or wrong. [Applause.] We are at war. Well do I remember standing here three years ago with William L. Dayton, who advo, cared with me the election of that honored man Abraham Lincoln. [Great applause.] We told you he would be elected, for it was a way he had, and could not help it, end was elected, and unless I mis take the public sentiment, he will be President for the rext four years. [Continued applause,] Let me say to you that this rebellion is against the Democratic principle. It is a war against Democracy. ft is war against every white man, It is a war against freedom and human rights. There is nova slaveholder that makes his slave dance to the crack of his whip, who does not abhor every form of Democracy. To-day the South stand tip and in communion with everything throughout the world that hates freedom, are in alliance to crush and overthrow it.- We are now trying the contest in New Jersey. New Jersey, land of historic recollection ! Where shall New Jersey stand when the record is made? By all the memories of the past; Trenton and her bloodstaiited sands; Princeton and her classic mories and Revolutionary history ; Monmouth, con nected by glorious associations Jerseymen, be up !

Stand by your country, that calls you now ! And when the verdict shall be rendered on - Tuesday night. let ithe for the extermination of treason, for the old flag. Then rally around the flag, boys; rally round the flag-! [Applause] One word more. You have before you for Senator a noble man. [Great applause.) Honor to James M. Scovel. He has stood fast by his country. A Democrat once, a Democrat still, he has been able to rise above the mere selfishness of partisanship. He knows hoW to distinguish between the patriot and the partisan. He is worthy to receive-your gut lieges. His conduct in the past, when base men, cowards. would have betrayed your State, his voice - was heat He battled - for New Jersey; he battled for his country. Let not New Jersey lose hire ser vices. Let him know that, you appreciate true pa triotism and virtue. If you have any prejudices, sacrifice all for your country. Vote like men vindi cating your manhood, vindicating your country.

Pollock retired amid loud applause ri - Colonel Fitzgerald. the well-known War Demo. crat, then made a masterly defence of the Government against the attacks of the false and wicked leaders, at the Democratic party. He praised the President for his wise, temperate, consistent, patriotic COMM, and be paid a glowing compliment to 'Messrs. Stan ton, Welles, and Chase, the mention of whose names elicited the heartiest cheerg. The vindication of Mr. Weller' administration of the Navy Department was earneat and able.

Scovel, the Patriot, net the Partisan," followed by an imposing torch-light pro. cession from the South—the banner ward— and the people en maws, then proceeded to the residences of IVlessis.

Speeches were made by :Colonel Fitzgerald and William Penn Dennis, Fee , and it is but just to say that the audience was moat favorably disappointed in both speakers. Dlr. Dennis spoke for nn hour and a half, and kept his auditors completely under his control. air. Charles Brown (one hundred and ninety!) was han dled very gingerly, but his true character was laid bare. Immoderate laughter greeted some of the sallies at his expense. Smithers, the Union candidate, was eulogized in becoming terms, and every mention of his name, was greeted with enthu siastic cheering: This meeting, adjourned to meet at the same place on Saturday next, November 7th, on which occasion Colonel Fitzgerald will be the only speaker. He will be, honored by an immense audi ence. Neutratity. To the Edges of The Pass: SIR: The subjoined article is taken from the French correspondence of the London Times, pub lished on the lOth September last : The Phan de la Loire contains the following ac- Count of two ships of war which are being construc ted at a private dockyard at Nantes "Nantes possesses its maritime mysteries. There are at present two steamers in process of construc tion in our dockyard, the appearance of which ex cites the greater curiosity among admirers of re markable ships, since their owners and their desti nation are completely unknown. The least flyboat cannot be built secretly, even to figure at our re gattas, inasmuch as all'our dockyards are accessible to every visitor, and consequently it to still more dial- • cult to construct larger vessels without observation.. The practised eye of a seaman will easily discover that these ships are not built for ordinary- naviga tion. 'Everybody asks for what purpose they are intended, and as nobody can solve this question there remains a wide field for conjecture. The fact is, these two clipper's appear to be intended to fly through the water. -Their lines are beautifully fine; they are almost fiat, narrow, with a stern as sharp as a razor. Their length is 240 feet ; they are to be Jilted with engines of- 400 horse power, and _are pierced for 22 guns. The shipwright has guaranteed that their speed shall not, be less than 14 knots an hour. The plan was given to the shipbuilder, and he contracted to execute it. The - hull is of timber, but there is a considerable portion of iron used in their fittings, by which their solidity is to be greatly increased. *hat still more excites the imagination of our seamen is that they are to be delivered to the owners at sea, at a distance it is said of twenty miles from Belle Ile, There are two similar clippers on the stocks' in the yard of M. Armen, the celebrated shipbuilder -of Bordeaux. The order was, given to him by a merchant of our town on account of a foreign correspondent, but- nobody knows his name, and the shipwrights themselves, it appears, scarcely know more than others. As these vessels are not what we term porfettre—that is, ships the speed of which is saori fired to their capacity for carrying cargoes—it is not to be supposed.that they are ,intended for the. mer chant service, as they lose a third of their tonnage by the fineness of their lines. According to one re port, they belong to a company, who intend them for rapid service in the Chinese seas. It was even said that they are being built for the Company of the Meeaageries Imperialea, butlthose who said ao forget that the company have their own dock-yard at La Seyne, near Toulon. According to othera (and the number of their portholes renders the sup. position probable), they are being built with a view to warlike eventualities. But the version most cre dited is that they may possibly, when completed, take 'their place among the Confederate fleet, of which the Sumpter was the pioneer: AS We have formed no opinion on the matter, we confine ourselves to the announcement of the fact." - - It would seem that French Ideas of "neutrality" are something like those recently held by our precious friends the British. The argument in the British paperiabout insuffi ciency of their law to stop such pirates is hypocritical and false. The 150th article of their " angoras con solidation act," 10 and 11 Victoria, 1863, gave the Privy Council power to stop ships, and allsorts of articles of war by proclamation. This teas done prior to the Russian war. They prohibited the ex port or departure of steamships, etc., without royal license. This could not injure any honest person: • By the way, if to build and fit out the Alabama in an English port, paid ,for with British money, man her with picked seamen of the "British Royal Naval Reserve," arm her in or near the Mersey, despatch her with the full knowledge and falsely.pretended objection, but real connivance of the British autho. rities, on her errand to burn and destroy American shipping in the "British seas, ,, in sight of British coasts, iu order to benefit British shipowners at the ruin of American commerce—if, 3 ask, this is nem frailty, what would vvar, be' .BesPeotrullY, G.

ARRIVAL OF REBEL PRISONERS AT NASHVILLE. - Nesnvitrn, Oct. 31. Sixty rebel prisoners, in cluding nine officers, captured by Major Fitzgibbons, near Columbia, arrived here to-night. Brigadier General Mitchell was relieved of the command of cavalry, at his own request, on account of ill health. There has been heavy rains all day, and the river is rising more. nos - son/ars' REMOVAL (Frain the N. Y. Dieulug Post.] Some of our newspapers are yet discussing the removal of General Rosecrans. It is an unprofit able discussion, and I would not allude to the sub ject if I had not a few facts to Oar upon it, The President disclaims any' connection with tho state ments against General Rosecrane' character as a man or a soldier. Ie was satisfied with his'conduct at Chickamauga. General Rosecrans was removed, as he himself has said in a public, speech, "because of a military necessity." General Grant was the only man who could command the consolidated ar mies,-and for a year the personal relations of Gen. Grant and Gen. Rosecrans have not been pleasant. Rortecrans could not well serve under Grant—he did not like to do so, for their relations could not be amicable: This fact is well known by, military men in the Southwest—the Government knew it, and -it therefore relieved General Honoraria teinporafily from command. B. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. The capture of Loplcout Mountain by General Gtr•ni: ones is „No tortant victoiy.

Occe pos. teased by the enemy, it relieves their wagon trains, enables them to -provision their army, and gives them the moat valuable position for offence or de fence in the entire region." Inasmuch as Gen. Grant is "determined to hold Chattanooga no a base of further operations," the importance of the defeat - of the rebels at that is plowed by their own confessions. THE SAGACITY OF GENERAL THOMAS [Prom the Milwaukee Wisconsin, Oct 27. There can be no question that General Thomas saved the. Army of the Cumber/and in the critical battle of Chickamauga. The Georgia, papers say that the plan of the battle was determined noon by General Bragg after consultation. with General Lee: The plan was literally to destroy our army. It was, to cross the Chickamauga creek on our left flank, where Thomas' corps was placed, and then foice him back upon Crittenden anti McCook. Af ter Thomas was thus driven, another rebel column was to cross the creek and strike Thomas again as he was forced back, thus completing his rout. Thoixas,, with the sagacity of a great soldier, per ceived the object of the rebels. Re did not wait to be assailed, but, with Napoleonic tactics, he con eluded to Ipe the assailing party, and hence issued the following important order : HEADQUARTERS 14ra ARMY CORPS — , NEAR 111cDAI1EL's Rousm, Sept. 10-9 A. BT. Major General Palmer: The rebels are reported in quite a heavy farce be tween you and Alexander's Hill. It you advance as soon se possible on them is front, while I attack them in Rank, I think, we can use them up, Re spectfully, your obedient servant, GEO..f - J. THOMAS, Msj. Gen. Commanding. This mder, the Georgia papers say, saved Goneral Reser:Tans' army. She Soutneria journals came to a linowledge of this artier from the fact that the adju tant of General Palmer's staff was taken prisoner, and this order was found in his pocket. There is no man In the nation who thinks that Roseoraus could have been superseded by a better man than General ;Thomas. There is an earnest heartiness -in this note, in speaking of the enemy 'as "rebeli." " I think we can use them up," ate words 'the patriot likes to hear. As an illustration of Gen. Thomas' sagacity, a general,officer now in this city says that if Thomas could have had 10,000 fresh men on Sun day afternoon he would have ._,tttterly .routed the rebel army. This officer says that General Thomas eir oily saw the prize °Victory within his grasp ; but, alter the brigades of the reserved oorps had been Marled against the rebels, Thomas had. not another thousand fresh soldiers whom he could uae. He saved the army, but he would not have been content with that. He wanted and would have had such a victory as would have carried dismay throushout the South. This Held oilier says that, there were other generals besides Thomas Who saw what a prize wan lost for the ivant - of 10,000 men. GENERALS GRANT AND TROII-AS [From the Richmond Examiaer. Oct. 2.6.] It mil intend our readers to know who are the generals to whole the Yankee. Government have entruated the most powerful military fore upon which they relyfor the subjugation of the South. We may safely say that the Southern armies that' have brought itosecrans to grief have little tolaar from his nuearst ors. General Grant is a- man of ordinary intellectual ability, with some talent for mathematiss, and is considered as a good conductor of a .siege when the place invested Is to betoken-by, time artd.regular k , approaches. It, renanuitt to be seen what is his 0,91 , pacify for - defending', hinriseltagainatisexsiegri}-as-hok will have to op at Chattanooga. - George Thomas, who is put in_command of Rose crana' army proper, is a Virginian, and comes from the neighborhood of -Lynchburg. He is a fat, beefy man of forty, and in the old rainy was considered as little better than a numskull. In Texas, before the war, he was lieutenant colonel iq the - regiment of which General Lee was colonel. and Van Dorn major. General Treigge, who commanded the de partment, thought so little of him, that; having oc casion to divide the regiment to meet thh exigencies- of the service, he gave Van Dorn the command of four companies, to the exclusion of Thomas. . The most remarkable thing about this man is that, after being the most rabid and loud mouthed Secessionist before the war—so much so that lry his great zeal he actu ally made some officers who are now in the Southern army feel ashamed of theniselves-gle should have taken up arms for the preservation of the Union. His con duct can only be explained by the feat that he mar ried a Yankee woman, old enough for his mother, and whose money has great influence over him. WHAT. THE REUELS SAS OP GENERAL GRANT. [Pima the Richmond Whig, Oct. 27.] Boeecrans has been relieved from the command of the Aimy of the Cumberland, and Major General Ulysses S. Grant takes command of that department and of the Army of the Tennessee (Grant's old army), the Army of the Cumberland (Bosecrans' late army), and the Army of Kentucky (Burnside's.) Thomas, the renegade Virginian, and once ultra Secessionist, takes the immediate command vacated by Rosecrans. So much we learn from?' New York paper, which, on the strength of the announcement, bursts into the fol. lowing hyperbole : "It now remains to the great and unconquerable hero of the Mississippi valley—who hag defeated more armies, reduced more strongholds and conquered more territory than all our (Yankee) other generals put together, or than any general since the days Of Napoleon the First—it remains for Major General Grant to overcome the rebels now entrenched among the mountains of the' West, as he has already routed them through the length . and breadth of the great river of the West." These are sounding sentences and not deficient in capital letters. Let us look a little into the history of the new Ulysses. ®imental quartermaster in the old army, he was famous only for his love of strong drink, His -first appearance in the present' war was at Belmont, where, in conjunction with McClernand, he surprised a Confederate camp, and would have gained a victory if reinforcements had not arrived and whipped him back to his boats. With the exception of McClellan's little successes in Western Virginia, this was the drat affair in which the Yankees had not been disgracefully beaten and routed. Grant was therefore promoted and placed in command of 30,000 or 100,000 men gathered in front of. Sydney Johnston, at Bowling Green. The winter floods enabled the enemy to carry the inadequate defences near the mouths of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, to land men at pleasure before Fort Donelaon and to attack it simultaneously by land and wale. The garrison at this place was very small in eons parison with the Investing force, and the lines of fortification in many place's weak. A heroic de fence was made. For three days the enemy was re pulsed with fearful slaughter,-.his losses in dead alone being nearly as testae as our whole garrison,'. The place was not carried by assault,, but capieuta.' ted. Very many of the men remonstrated against the surrender, and few now doubt that, by proper management, the whole of theirs . could have scut, their way but without serious resistance. In these' two, fights—at Belmont and Da-nelson—the great Ulysses was in one instance defeated positively, and in the next gained a victory of which only a Yankee. would or could boast. The acquisition of territory was large, am true ; but this was - due less to Grant's generalship-than to the imbecility of the Confede. • rate author Kies. . . . Grant's next appearance was at Shiloh. In the first day's fight he was surprised and shamefully, beaten.; on the secondliay, Buell, who was - Gran t'o superior, and had iirrived with , heavy reinforce inents, took command, and to him is dueu s the ereilit, I such as it is, orattsiaking - a: diiorganized the size of his ofvn, and-of failing signally to Make it do more.than relinquish at leisure a part of the'. enormous spoils whits it had won the day before. • Here there was no victory to any one on the Yankee side, and certainly none to Grant. - After Sherman's failure at Vicksburg, Grant su persedes him. With unlimited men and means at • his command, he attempts no assault, but waits pa-= tiently till the naval °Macro have succeeded in run ning both gunboats and transports past the Confede rate batteries. Marching his men rapidly down the west bank of the river ' he ferries them over, and precipitates them upon Grand - Gulf--Astrong posi tion, which, like Donelson; was incompletely forti fled and feebly garrisoned. Grant's itiobase'..at this point was due more to the gunboats U*1.003 his own skill. Anil now occurred the only movenialit Which entitles him to praise and evinces generislehip: With a celerity unexampled in the hi,tory of Yankee war fare, he pushed forward his huge columns, upset Pemberton without the least difficulty, invested Vicksburg, established his communications with the river both above and below the city,protected his rear from Johnston by fonurtlable works, and, after a number of ummooessful 'attempts to storm the place, sat down leisurely to reduce it by siege, which be at length dill, without serious molestation either in front or rear. Here again, as at Donelson, he was indebted more to the Confederate Government thanto his, own genius fur his success.. He showed energy by the rapidity of his movements, and. displayed skill in interposing his army between Pemberton and John. mon ; but if either his courage or his skill had been extraordinary be would have crushed his incompe tent antagonist in Viensbuig as easily almost as he bad done at Baker's creek—a battle over which the Yankees made a great deal of noise, but in reality none at all ; for we remember that one of the ablest Confederate officers engaged in it laughed at the idea cf. dignifying it with the name of ; battle. It was not Grant's generalship so much aehla opponent's utter inexperience in field lighting which enabled him to early everything before him at Champion'e Hill like a whirlwind. - - - . - Such is the man to whom the mighty interests in volved at Chattanooga are entrusted. He was whipped at Belmont, whipped at Shiloh, and whip pee in repeated assaults at Doneloon and Vicksburg. He has not proved. himself a great generatrbut:he br.s proved Ins ability to take advantage % of ,Confe del ate folly and want...of-preparation. When ade quate means are at his disposal he has shown that he'linows bow to ÜBC ' them when occasion offers. He is quick, ana that is more then can be .said of very many Confederate generals. He has now three large armies concentrated under-him, embracing, in the aggregate,',probably twice as many men as ha haa ever • before commanded. These armies have been weeded of incompetent officers to a great ex tent. His Government, appreciating., the tremend ous risk of failure at Chattanooga, bee selected him as its most successful general to 'command at that point, has given him half, if not more than hanf,lts edt alive forCe in the field, add staked on him lite rally everything ;.for if he is beaten the game is up.

From the information in our reach we make up a hasty and imperfect nar rative. It would appear to have been General Lee's: plan to send A. P. Hill's corps by a route west of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad to Manaissaa.Turic ton, there to cut of Meade's retreat, whilst Ewell's corps followed on the right flank of the retreating enemy, and would be ,ready to fall upon his rear when he Should be brought to a stand. In further ance of this plan, Hill left Madison county on or about the Bth inst., and moved toward Sperryville. On the same day Ewell crossed the Rapidan at Rac• coon Ford. At this place occurred the firat cavalry fight, in which we drove the enemy back,but not without sustaining considerable loss. Here New. ton, and other gallant officers, fell. Meade having apparently seen through the designs of General Lee, began his retreat simultaneously with our advance, and, flaying • the benefit of the railroad; and moving on a direct line, it is no matter Of Surprise that he managed to frustrate them. On Sunday Hampton'a cavalry, under the imnie difite command of Stuart, moving in advance of Ewell's corps, reached Culpeper Court House, and, moving along the railroad, encountered the- enemy at Brandy Station. The battle took, place on the farin of John Minor Botts,one of the charges of our cavalry being made througi bia front yard. We may here remark that the property on the farm -of this extraordinary individual, of whom the Government 01 the' Confederate States stand in such fear, had been religiously respected by the Yankees ; whereas, the country around was little better than a wilder ness, his iencea and crops were untouched. But. that Sunday night wrought a change in its condition. Three` thousand Confederate cavalry bivouacked there after the battle, and fed their horses in his cornfield. The next morning there were very fetid fence rails,and very little corn left. The men could be. heard to, say, while building high their tires, "Pile on, boys, they are nothing but d—fl old Union rails!" Botts came down Monday morning and said he would like to get a certificate of the quantity of corn used and rails burnt. Re was dismissed very cavalierly, and told that we had no time to attend to such matters. I'donday our cavalry came up with the enemy at Jerre' son, on the road from Culpeper Court House to Warrenton. There an obstinate tight took place, which resulted in the enemy being driven across Fledgeman , s river to Warrenton Springs, from which 'place the enemy,were also driven, after a bat tle. In each of these battles we took several hun dred priuoners. - . Ewell's corps having changed its line of march; reached=-Warrenton on Tuesday morning. Dleadete army was - at this time among the Rappahannock s 'and believed to have halted at 7- Werrenton,7unction, and between that point and Catlett Station. Two thousand- cavalry were sent down from Warrenton to reconnoitre in the direc tion of Catlett. On arriving near the latter place, Tuesday evening, they found the enemy were moving heavy, columns of infantry along the rail. road towards Manassas ; and they thereupon imme diately turned to retrace their steph toward' War -renton, but on reaching a road which crossed their ~ 'route, leading from Warrenton Junction to Manas as,they found that the enemy were also moving in fant,ry in large masses along this road. They were thus completely hemmed io. Night came on as they reached this road. The heavy tramp of the enemy's infantty and the rumble of their artillery sounded right in front of them. General Stuart withdrew his little force into a thicket of ohl held pines, hoping that the enemy would pass him by unnoticed, and leave his road to Warrenton clear. The enemy were moving so near our position that every word of command and even ordinary conversation could be distinctly heard by us. Our situation was extremely critical; any ac• cident—the accidental discharge of a pistol—would have disclosed our position, and then, in view of the overwhelming force of the enemy, nothing awaited us but destruction or surrender. Stuart gave his officers tied men to understand that surren der was not to be thought of, but that the - enemy. was to be fought to the last. A council of war hav ing been called, it was resolved, as the beat thing that could be done under the circumstances, to de rert the nine pieces of horse artillery, and for the cavalry in six columns to endeavor to cut their way through the enemy. Afttrgonie reflection Stuart resolved not to aban don his artillery, and struck upon a device for in forming-Gen. Lee, who was at Warrenton, of his situation. He called for three volunteers to under take a - desperate enterprise, Crockett Eddins, of this city, and two other young men immediately stepped forth to undertake anything that their Gene ral might order. Stuart ordered them to put on in Santry knapsacks, and, shouldering muskets, to ad vance in the darkness to the road, fall into the ene my's column, and, crossing it, to make their way to Warrenton, and say -to Gem -Lee that he Was our. rounded, and he " must send some of his people to help him out." Eddins and his two gallant com rades obeyed• orders, and reached - Warrenton in safety. The last division of the enemy baited and bivouacked opposite Stuart, and within one hundred and fifty yards of his position—so close that we could hear the Yankees pouring out xats to feed their horses. During the night two of Iffeade's staff straggled into bur lines - and were taken prisoners. One of- them, a gay young fellow, said to Stuart, "All right, General, we sup With you to-night, you dine with us to-morrow," in timating that Stuart Would, by that time, be "a pri soner. . At daylight Wednesday morning Stuart was in formed by the cracking of our skirmishers' muskets that Lee had received his message, and was sending "some of the people" to help him. -As -Lee's ad vancing columns attracted the enemy's attention, Stuart, from the rear, opened on them with grape and canister. The enemy were much disordered by the cannonade from so unexpected a quarter, and, -talelpg-atlvantiageicif - tke confusion, Stuart limbered iip his guts, and, with cavalry and artilleiy,.dashed thrgugh the hostile ranks and rejoined General Lee. The:enemy suffered a loss of one hundred and eighty killed in this affair. That evening Hill's corps reached Bristow Sta tion, just after Illeade's army passed that point. What appeared to be a small portion of the enemy watcdiscovered behind a long embankment of the railroad, and two brigedes of Roth's corps were or dered to dislodge them. Then followed the battle of "Briatow, which has already been mentioned in these columns. What appeared to be a trifling force of • the enemy turned out to be two full army corps, ly ing in ambush to gobble up any in conaiderable lari gades that might ,attempt-to dislodge them. An hour's experiment convinced our men that a formi dable force was in their front, and they withdrew. We bad three or four hundred killed and wounded in the fight. The enemy admit a severe loss, but they left but few dead upon the field. Before the main body of our army could get up the battle was ever. That night our men were drawn up in line of battle, but when the day broke on Thursday morn ing-the enemy was gone. Our forces followed their as far as Manassas Junction, and, resting here a day, began a retrograde movement towards the Rep pahennock. Our cavalry on Thursday crossed Bull creek : rear the foot of Bull Run mountain, and made a reconnoissance as far as Centreville, where they_were driven back by the enemy's infantry. - Thus ended this famous retreat and pursuit. Our army returned to the Rappahannock, fleecing lost in' the campaign about one thousand men killed, wounded, and prisoners, and having taken near two . thousand prieonere. Of the enemy's loss in killed and wounded we have no means of making an esti mate. During the pureuit our troops never made • over twelve miles a day. The results of the cam paign are important. We took a large number of prisoners anti horses, ascertained Meade's army to consist of not more than fifty thousand infantry, deatroyed the railroad from IVlanasaas to Rappahan nock Station, and removed Meade's headquarters from the Rapidan to the Rappahannock. During the campaign our cavalry did splendid ser vice. They performed all the successful fighting and took nine-tenths of the prisoners. As belonging rather to the period of our retreat than of Meade's, we have made no mention of the cavalry victory gained by Stuart over Kilpatrick on the 19th instant. THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR. Five Attempts at Piegro Insurrection in - Georgia—Seven Slaves Burned to Death— ' The Breast Riots—Women Shot, and Chil dren Dying of Hunger —The Counter-Re bellion in . the South On Friday evening, a gentleman arrived at Phila. deiphia who has recently travelled in many parts of the Southern Confederacy. In his tour, he passed - through a considerable part of Georgia, North Caro lina, and Eastern Virginia. Less than eight days - ago he was in Richmond. He passed through rebel dom mcog., which is necessary to be preserved. No less than five attempts at negro insurrection have been made in Georgia since the month of July last. As a tenor to the slaves, some were shot, others hugg r and seven or eight were -burned, one of the latter being a pregnant female. Many children have died from want of the com mon necessaries of life. Old and infirm men and women have also departed this life, their deaths having been hastened by the want of proper nourish . In Richmond, 'Virginia, women to the number of five hunored or more, appeared in the streets de . mantling bread or blood. One house, filled with stores for the rebel army, was broken open, and the women succeeded in obtaining some provisions to sustain life a little longer. The people of Richmond -1.-are in a desperate condition. There,are but few of the wealthy classes remaining. Many of them had.

Rostexartue-ilen4 Cut Off. Mom the Richmond. Dispatch, Oct, 26.1 At the commencement of this war, Hailed; ad vised-Lincoln to claim a victory after every battle, whether defeated or not. The Yankee generals have all subscribed to this policy, and all carried it out with unwavering pertinacity. Rosecrans is the last example. His proclamation to his army is quite a model for all generals who, having been beaten in 'the field, depend on2making up their louse of famo and:men upon,papar. Hosecrans who has been a whole year in Tennes see since his alleged victory at lilurbeeshoro, and whose only attempt to advance was met by the sig nal overthrow, of Chickamauga ' .has fairly surpassed all his notempormies in the art of gaining victories en Paper. A. few days since we published his ad dress to'hia army, in which he claimed a succession of"viotoiie6, such as rarely fall to the lot even of the greatest generals—such as Bonaparte or Stonewall Jackson might have been proud of—aush as they Monis have_ obtained within the last ten centuries. At the tinie,lie was shut:up in Chattanooga, after a most - disastrous defeat, in which he had lost at least 25,000 meni•of whom-1,000 were prisoners. ' Roseanne did not believe his own tale, his men did notbelieve it, the world at large treated it with eontempt. atd the powers at Washington have shown that they tutewit to be tt lie by cutting oft' his head, Yes, .Rosocr.ens,- poor fellow, has been decapitated; his bead placed in a basket for Washington officials to stick up over. theyvar office to l'crroremoui a Warn. ing to all uneuccessful generals, and 'his body thrown upon the huge pile where rot the remains of Scott, McClellan ' Pope, Burnside, and Booker. Our generals, during this war, have had unbounded in. at Washingtlim They unmake, if they do not appoint, whatever generals _they please. Meade is ' the only one left, and we predict for him a speedy decapitation. Grant is to take thigplace of Reseorans; and to hold it until the first baCle at least, We take his appointment 26 Indicate Immediate active opera tions. Bragg, we presume,-is to be forth witty at tacked. We hope it may be co • and if' it were not the intention of the Cabinet to have an attack mare-, we cannot see why they should have out off nosey's head, unless it was for his lysog. This again- can hardly be, for Halieck inculcated the.duty fit - lying, and can hardly punish him for sticking so closely.to his duty. Grant himself-has never succeeded any where but by dint of overwhelming numbers. He is a slow.motioned general, and, as a boaster, fully equal to Hooker or Pone- Herr he will not have the advantage of numbers, and we have no- more' diced of him than we bad of Rosearans. Indeed, the latter has proved Matzen' the best general the' Yankees have. The situation in which Grant will find the Alray of Chattanooga is one which it will require all the ability be may be master of to - rectify. It is half Surrounded in ChattanoOga by a foe powerful in numbers and terrible in character. Everywhere, ex cept in the rear, wherever he turns, formidable works confront him. His communications are ex tremely critical—his supplies almost entirely cut off. He must either attack works. almost impreg•. risible, defended by soldiers of unsurpassed valor, and must triumph over them, or he must effect a retreat over a rough and exhausted country, with this army in bis rear, bent upon destroying him; and animated' by every passion that can impel man upon his enemy. We shall soon see What he will attempt to do. A GENERAL ADVANCE OF ALL THE YAWL:EBB TB REATH-NED CFrom the Richmond DiApatcb, Oct. 27. The decapitation of Rosecrans augurs well for the Confederate cause. Re was the best general they had, althoUgh he might have been that, and'atill no. Qatar. It- proves, plainly enough, that, in spite of his mendacious proclamation, fie was very- badly beaten at Chickamauga, and thatjhis employersknow it. But the hest part of the operation, so-far as we are enueerned, is, that it implies an immediate _ ad. venue upon the lined of General Bragst, - whish we mutt ardently hope for. We are afraid, notwith stem:lug the bravado of the Yankee papers, that their hearts will fail them when the hour arrives, although the late victory of Colonel Stevenson, and the near prospect of famine consequent upon it,'are very well calculated to hasten their movement. The renegade Thomas, and not Grant, it seems, is to conduct operations at Chattanooga. The noble old county of Southampton, for its sins, was doomed . to be the birthplace of this miscreant. The Yan kees era so deficient in good material rfor officers that they really pick up our renegades to fashion them out of. We have no fears of Thomas. Arnold never did anything after he had sold him, sell to the Blitiab, nor is there any cause to believe that Thomas will he more successful. We holdhim to be worse than Arnold. Arnold was a Yankee, to whom it was perfectly natural to sell himself for gold. Dr. Johnson, we believe it was. who said the devil was the first rebel. He might have added that :ludas Isuariot was the first Yankee. But there is something horribly unnatural in a Virginia, born man turning against his country for gold. At the same time that Thomas advances against Brom, we are fold by ,the Yankee papers there is to he a general advance everywhere. - Grant, or somebody else, Is to advance against Johnston, and Meade is to anvance against Lee. Never, accord ing to their veracious organs, was the prospect of crushing the rebellion so bright. We are to be pressed up into a small space„ and annihilated be. fore the mud comes on—that is, before the first of December. We should probably feel some degree of alarm tet theee terrible threats, had we not heard them two months ago, just before Rosecrans ad. van cod upon Atlanta and stopped at Chattanooga, and Meade advanced upon Richmond to fall back on Washington. Indeed, we do not think the trumpets are sounded quite so fiercely now as they were on that occasion, and seeing that such is the fact, we takeleart of grace, and comfort ourselves with the musty old proverb that "threatened. men live long. , ' It would not surprise us at all to hear that we had given the Yankees a thrashing alt around before the first el December. Before the advanceof Rosecrans we were assured by the Yankee newispapers that the rebellion would he crushed by that time. Yet the prospect seems as distant as ever. TEE TWO ARMIES-THEIR MODE OF 'FIGHTING A Tennessee army correspondent makes the fol lowing observation on comparing the armies of Ten." neesee and Virginia: The old veterans express surprise that the far famed army of Bragg fails to come up to the repu tation for drill and discipline which common rumor has ascribed to it, and claim that the organization of Lee's army is every way stipules. The veterans of Biagg, on the other hand; say that they have been better fed and worse dressed than any other troops in the Confederacy, and claim nothing for themselves but hard knocks, severe regulations, and old clothes. In the latter qunlification they are unquestionably ahead of anybody of men in this country. The difference in the style of fighting between the two armies is also distinct. The NVestern army, with few exceptions, seldom charge continuously. The Virginia army rarely do otherwise. The one are content to stand up and exchange shots at long. range; the other close up and dash forward. On the one hand, experience has shown that the enemy stand fire as well as oureelves ; on the other, that Yankee pluck always fails on the advance of cold steel. Affairs In Texas. NIEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2n—l had a lengthy convex , - nation to-dny Wheeler; of the trin of Dircy Sr. Wheeler, of this city, who has just returned from Plfa.amoros, having left that city on the 3d instant. From this gentleman I received the following news from Texas : The impression was general through out the Statethat an invasion by the Unfonists was not far off. Major General Magruder, commanding the district of. Texas, appeals to the planters to fur nish an additional quota of negroes to erect thene emery fortifications to prevent thelinion troops from successfully invading the State. To meet t:Ms emergency he requests the services of one.half of the male negroes between the ages of sixteen and ftly.

Mr. Vall-andigham's Venom In a private letter written the other day, Vallan disham said: "I observe that Mr. Obese is making- himself merry over try exile and defeat. Well, that is all right, too. But I remember when, a few years ago, the name of Salmon P. Chase was the synonym of everything odious and bite; and when he was one of the leaders of a - party not numbering in the whole United States one• tenth part as many as the votes which I received in Ohio at the late election, and poor and humble enough to be content with the crumbs which fell from the colored people's table at the Baker-street chapel. My friend,: Mr. James Brooks, remembers, also, when he rescued Mr. Chate from the violence of a mob in Dayton, and led him, all trembling, by the arm; to a place of safely. Now Salmon P. Chase is high In wealth earl position, clothed in purple and tine linen, and faring aumptuously every day, while lam "the sub ject of his scoff's as an exile. But I shall live to see the time when Mr. Chase will be rent in pieces by the whirlwind which he has contributed so much to raise, and made the victim of the very mob before which he triumphs and exults, as did Beltashazzar at his feast." Be omits to state that it was about the time Dlr. Chase was "odious and vile," and leader of the party represented as so contemptible, that Medary, Vallandigham, Faran, Pugh, & Co., were, glad to make him a United States Senator, the first official position he ever held. It is a curious fast that Pugh Cot -his first office at the same time. As to the• Dayton mob, the recent vote of that city indicates a more healthful state of things there since the leader of its rowdies sought safety on British soil.—Tolcdo Bicule. Unjust Arrest and imprisonment At a meeting of Pennsylvanioni, held in Washing ton on the 26111 ult., to consider the circumstances attending the recent arrest and imprisonment of J. A. 'Williamson, of the Pennsylvania Relief Associa tion, the following report was made, adopted, and• ordered to be published in the newspapers of that city. and Pennsylvania : • REAJ3QUARTEESPENN'A STATE AGENCTi' No. 487 Eleventh Street. WASHINGTON, October 28. 1863. To the Chairman and-Members of the Executive corn. mince of the Pennsylvania Soldiers , Relief Associa tion: GILINTLEXIM The committee appointed by your body to report the facts attendant upon the recent arrest and imprisonment of Joseph A; Williamson, Esq., under order of Major Turner, and by Colonel+ Baker, Provost Marshal of: the War Department, and his subsequent release, represent as follows : -- That Mr. Williamson is, and has been, one of the most active members of the Pennsylvania Relief Association, and is &member of Its. Executive Coro-. mirtee. Dining the past year he has been constant and faithful in the-discharge of all his duties, and has rendered most. valuable and important service, as well in hospital as in the field. About three weeks ago it become necessary to remove the stores of, the Association from the Patent Office building to the rooms now occupied by it, and The question. arose as to the expediency of selling some surplus rags, lint, and other , unavailable material which. could not be conveniently kept in - store. After consideration it was-determined to sell a‘cer fain proportion, as is the custom of this and other. like associailons, of these. goods, of which, three hundred bushels are yet-left, thereby enabling.the , Executive Wornmittee teteep,on hand a small fund sacred' to ttie purpose of purchasing absolute ne cessaries fee-thedaily wants of our sick and wounded soldiers. The order of sale was given by, the chair man of the above-named committee, and under the general, direction of Mr. Williamson, the assistant storekeeper; Mr. Hutchinson, in the presence of, Dr. llcuston, another. member of the Executive. CommPtee, opened, weighed, and packed the mate rial, and transferred it.to Fremeia..9.. Bogart, a regu.- kir dealer of Philadelphia, who had.made a previous purcsse of the same character. of goods from. the 'association. The lot, as reported by Mr. Hutchineon, weighed 1,063 pounde, ler ;which Mr. Bogert paid the awn of. Vd.4§, which was promptly deposited by William son in the basking•house of ;Tay Cooke ar. Co. to the credit of the saaoclatior. The proof of deposit was at once Pubmitted to the chairman of. the Executive Committee, thus concluding his responsibility. This took place October tOth andl:lth. On the morning of the 23d inst., Mr. Williamson W3/3 arrested, while a? his (leek in the interior De pertinent, by a detective of Colonel Baker, and was taken to the office of the latter, without the remotest idea that any charge had beenpreferred against him. After waiting about an hour, Major Levi C. Turner, judge advocate, and Colonel 13aker, provost marshal of the War Department, entered the room, and a short conversation ensued,• which it may not now be important to detail. The sum of it was that Mr. Williamson was informed , that he was charged with selling Government stores and - pocketing the money, and that he was to be sent to the Old Capt., .tol pilson. Mr. Williamson vehemently protested his innocence. and appealed for an opportunity to explain the transaction, and send for parties of the highest respectability who could establish his inno cence. Colonel Baker replied that he should "see no one.” Mr. Williamson asked to be allowed to remain in Colonel Baker's office until he.could send for Secrettu"Usher, of the Interior Department, or Mr. Brady, the chairman of the Executive Commit tee of the Association. ••Colonel Baker denied his prisoner this ' -privilege, and, telling him that he could write letters when he reached the Old' Capitol, and, handing his commitment to an officer, left the One of the officials, a witness of this injustice and cruelty to a man as innocent as any of his accusers, and more innocent than some whose presence he was obliged to tolerate, furnished. Mr. Williamson with a desk before his removal to the Old Capitol, and offered to deliver letters to Mr. Usher, or Mr. Brady. Mout one o'o/Ook on that tle , Y, the 234 instant, he THREE CENTS. reached the Old Cispitol, was taken to his sell, *Rd, its key turned upon him, his incarceration was sc. complished. Immediately upon hearlc of the circumstance, Judge Usher, Secretary of he interior, in whose Department Mr. Williamson Ina trusted chrk, and subsequently Messrs. Brady and Eaton, of the Exe , cutive Committee, with other Pennsylvanians, called upon Major Turner, at his lame, and were in a few minutes enabled to make the' explanation the opportunity for which had already been denied the helpless plisoner. The result of this interview was that IVir. liVilllammon was released a.Nout 6 , 45 P. 61. the same de' of hie arrest, Major Tur.Artr tieing furry sotirfied of hi a entire innocence. - Your committee have but few remarks - to make in crucluding this statement.

Hodges was arraigned at the Central Station, by Detectives Lemon and Bartholomew, on the charge of embezzling some of the funds of a social organi- VOlOlO of gentlemen known by the•name, style, and title of the Philadelphia Club.. Thedefendeent was formerly clerk of the club, and •in this capacity re ceived the dues of the rcembera: It is alleged that he bad received $450 of dues-whish has not been accounted for on the books. There were eighteen members of the club present ae.witnesses ' but the fr defendant desired to waive aearing. The magis trate,.bowever, desired to hear one or two, so that_ he might obtain some idea of the nature of the case. Four witnesses were examined; who testified that they had paid their dues to defendant, and took his receipt for the same. On examining the account book produced at the bearing, there could not be found any entry acknowledging the receipt of the money. The defenthent wee bound over in the sum of $1,9.00 to answer at Cr.,lllA. Chestneref-111.11 Mil lee. A. few days since it was suggested in this column that a police station-house should be located at Chestnut Bill, and that the force there oueht to be doubled. Since that time we have received quite a .number communications reepectine, the subject; the writers entertilning eifeetent views. 'Under the present law. the people of Chestnut Hill are not entitled to a single notice officer, simply because, they do not pay any police tax Shortly after con solidation, the aristocracy of Chestnut Hill, who alone bed anything to lope, made an agreement with Mayor Faux to pay the expense of a small police force, to he mounted atihe expense of the aristo cracy aforesaid, who were to furnish the horses. Robberies had been frequent there foe` some time, but after the policmhad been thus temporarily ap pointed, the thieves made themselves quite scarce. The aristocracy, however, soon withdrew the pay ment for horseflesh, and the chances for thieving tended towards a premium. = The aristocracy began to feel lalermed, and finally the intrepid Sohn S. Magee was sent theroby Mayor - Henry to teropora rily-talle command of the police squad ; the striate. cracy agreeing to pay thmammint of hie board. This went cm very well for a time, until they withdrew this support, and Mr. Magee was withdrawn from the romantic hills and vales of that section of the city, and took " a position on the corns of day sergeants. , The aristocrats of' Chestnut Hill are mostly, the worst class of Copperheads. They have splendid' suppers there occasionally where they plot treason to dupe the ignoran, masses.. They look upon the police force as com posed of Union men, and will not contribute to their support. The mere fa& of accepting the services of a few men as police officers. at the expense of the taxpayers- of the city, entitles the. Copperhead aristocracy of -Chestnut Hill to the congenial name of paupers, because, in the fleet place, they do not pay any police tax.;. in the second place, they desire, to have themselves and their property protected at the expense of other people. This state of antra is not generally 'known. It may be attributed to special legislation of the City Councils exempting' ‘ Chestnut Hill from taxation for police purposes. We have hadsome talk with common-sense Union. men who live there. They desire to have a well regulated system of police for that place—rand they. Ire willing to pay the tax should the City Councils deem it- necessary to assess it. The honest, sober thinking residents wish _to he placed on _an eanal. looting wren- tnem citisens of the citg gene rally, and take a share in the payment of taxes for police protection. The Copperhead atistocraey, however, so it would seem, would rather have the title of patinae affixed to their respective'cartmes than pay their share Of a police tax, provided this.state of things can be without the great public .knowin.g any thing about it. There is no justice. in taxing the property of 'Union people in one part of •the city to protest Its property cui pauper Copperheads in another part exempt from similar taxation. ri-Vcrze Mr. U.

John G-lacken, Hugh Blob ney, Jeremiah Lane, and John O'Connor werebe. tore the court on a writ of habeas comma stir charge of misdemeanor. The allegation is, thatjust previous to the election,. there defendants - moved from the Seventeenth were, where their families re side, to the Second ward, for the purpose of voting. They were bound over by Alderman Ogle to arotwer. This writ of habeas corpus was then sued out, returnable Saturday morning. The District Attorney moved to quash the writ, as the defendants had never been in the custody of the Sheriff. It appears that their counsel, relying on what has been the custom in habeas corpus cases, bad taken out the writ without surrendering the parties to the Sheriff, but-having them in court on Saturday morning, The Court, after hearing the motion, granted the motion, and quashed the writ, Judge Thompson saying that if such proceedinga ae those above stated' had been the custom, it was a - vent improper one. Desertion cases occupied the mat of the cession. The following important opinion was delivered by Judge Ludlow on Saturday morning: MASTER AND APPRENTICE—CONSTRUCTION Os' arboannes , INDENTURES. • Commonwealth vs. Paul T. Bowen. Opinion by Ludlow, T. The apprentice, the defendant in this case, has been bound with the ascent of his mother, to the firm of Cox, Whiteman, & Cox, in order" to learn the trade, art, and mystery of Stove afoul dine " the firm covenant "at such times es their foundries shall be in blast," to give him employment, and to pay him $3.50 per week tor the time he shall be at work for the that three months, for the fast eleven months thereafter one half of journeyman's prices by the piece, for the next fourteen months fire-eighths journeyman's prices by _the piece, and for the balance of his term he - :Nell receive wages at the late of three-fourths journeyman's prices by the, piece. At a glance it will be observed that this instru ment is a very peculiar one, as - Whiteman & Cox are not to be responsible "for any acts done or commit ted by the said apprentice during such times as he is not at work, nor are they to be under any expense for medicine or medical attendance, it being fully uitlermood- that the said- apprentice is under the guardianship of his mother." There seems to be in this-indenture no express co venant for maintenance, nor do the masters agree to give to the apprentice soy education. If it stands the test of a legal investigation it will introduce a new system of apprenticeehip, altogether different from that heretofore in use. and in many respects, in our judgment, very objectionable, especially for three teatime First. There is no covenant in this instru ment for schooling, and it has been long striae settled Comm. vs. Perrott, Brightly's Rep., p, 199; that an indenture which does not contain this covenant is void ; true, this principle is in a measure to be qualified, if it shall appear to the - ,court that the apprentice has received suffi cient education before he was bound to serve. See 1 Rawle, 191 Com, vs. Leeds. In this - case , however, the only evidence produced upon that paint consisted of an admission by the defendant " that he had been over a year at: school, and had got so far that be was studying geography, when he had to leave to go to work." This court would not be jus tified in sanctioning the doctrine theta young man between seventeen and eighteen years of age had re ceived sufficient education, when the evidence 013/1- elusively proves that be had been at school butlittle over a sear, and had just commenced the study of geography. These maters and their apprentices will hereafter me the teceesity which inclineathe court to look with anxious solicitude to the proper education of - the tieing generation ; for, upon. their intelligence depends the future prosperity not only of the young men, but of the Commonwealth and nation. - Second. There is another objeclionable feature in this indenture which has attracted ournotice. There is no express covenant for maintenance the'ap prentice is to receive so • much by the Week e and then by the piece, and the mother who "it is under stood' shell be his guardian, must take care of -him if he becomes sick and shall, alsoprovifie him with medicine. We do not overlook the affjudged case of Geese vs Conrocv, 2 Barr, 402, wherein it wee decided that an apprentice .might reside at home and not , with his master, and that a certain sum per week might be paid in lieu of the common covenants for lodging, tec.; but. we distintuish this case from that one iu many particulars; here employment Is to be given " dune. g such times as - their fonede.ies shall be in blast," and certain payments shall be made " for the time he (the apprentice) shall be at work." • No such features appeared in the indenture before the court in Greer vs-. Conrow: The apprentice in this cage., should the furnancego out of bleat and he at the same time be afflicted with sickness, may atavre or die. Realties all this, in Leech vs- Agnew, 7 Barr, 22, the court declare that "a -tether is entitled to a child's earnings, and may dispose of them, a mother being held to no such duty is not .entitled to its correlative. Neither has a_guardian such a right; he may assent to his ward's apprenticeship, but may not hire him out for the guardian , . beeent; • * Theasepetsea.afea inothet would restrain the donee from turning his out of doors ; but in the inter pretation of contracts we have.to deal with legal obligations. Had she added to .the gift an engage ment to maittainaiin, as aniequivalent, the contrast, might have been deemed.a beneficial one, bat as she did not it is void.” - Prom what has already been said enough appears, we think, to justify us in declaring this instrument void ; but we have another objection ta.this paper, which is A radical one, and which ought to be stated. In an indenture at apprenticeship, the master, by the common law. feel tee, aetes sf Peneeelventa, takes the place of a parent, and tee eppree afe of a child. In some of the old books the apprentice is , spoken of as a 3p,ecies of relation email while in one sense be is a servant, as every child must be, yet he may not be bound as aervant, but must stand in the relation of a serving child. The obligations which tbi3 seleconctituted relationehlpeimposed, were mu tual; the apprentice shall conduct himself-respect fully toward his master, shallobev his command, be faithful in his service, and act As any child should. art toward his pasant ;.and the maater shall not only teach his apprentice his trade, but shall maintain and protect him,. ellen watch, over his morals, see to it that ha is educated, so-that at last, when the term. shall e.ed, the apprentice may enter the society in which he livsa as a geed workman, an intelligent and thoroughly trained man, able not only to sus tain himself, but also to. benefit,, and not curse, the eommunity in which he lives. Measured by these time honored principles, what shall be said of these articles of frppreaticeship The meats:ea agree to do nothing bat to pay .Gze ap p:rentice a. certain sum and to teach him the art and mystery of a certain trade, although the law de clares teat the master shall be the guardian of the apprentice; yet this indenture declares that it is ue detained that the mother shall be his guardian, aril thus we suppose he will practically be his own gusidian. The wages to be paid are to be paid to Abe apprentice. Now, while the necemitiea of the present condition of society, especially in. large cities, may render it necessary for a master to board his apprentice cut of his own house, a. course also sanctioned by low, yet it by no moans ab solves him from his moral and legal obligation to attend to the welfare of the apprentice and least of all does it sanction the payment of wages to an apprentice.
