TUE news from Europe to-day is very full and Interesting. The chief facts noted are the honors tendered to Rev.

Difficulties between Russia and Turkey, were apprehended, and a rupture between Russia and the Western POwers was predicted by some of the journals.

GARFIELD, while speaking for the Union, in a strong slave holding locality, in Maryland, was 'mobbed by a crowd of Copperheads. Tau workmen on the Treasury buildings in Wash ington struck for higher wages yesterday, and a clerk of the Department, Mr. Smead, committed suicide. A Winter Ua.inpal.rn. Aside from military considerations, there are financial and political reasons why the Army of the Potomac should enter upon a winter campaign it the thing be practicable. 'That it is so in a certain material sense is very true. What we accomplished in 1862, we should as readily accomplish in 1863 perhaps, even more readily, for in the past Sear we have profited by experience, and our troops have sbecome indurated to all the changes of> "Virginia weather. In addition to this, the quartermaster and commissary departments of the army have had time, so to systematize their operations, that the ob- Stacles besetting a forward movement a year 4::.r two ago—the difficulty of obtaining sup plies and of furnishing facilities for trans portation—which were regarded as al -Irlost insuperable, and which indeed caused .vo many of our most promising campaigns to Miscarry, can no longer be urged in es- tenuation of failure. True, no amount of experience, or lapse of time, is competent to dmprove the condition of the Virginia roads. 'ln this respect there is literally no room for sinprovement, and besides, the destruction of the only line of railroad upon which Ge- Aeral MEADE would care to advance, is auo ther most embarrassing circumstance. This trouble is but temporary, and before winter keg fairly set in all the necessary repairs *will be made. Then, as to the question of the mud, our engineers could, at all;events, do, as they have done before, build emit" oy roads ; and if the season should prove frosty, with but little snow or rain, even this expedient might be unnecessary. But, supposing all other circumstances ;favorable, -is the army sufficiently strong to assume the offensive with safety to itself, and hazard to the enemy ? In the present Isituation of affairs, we think it is. We think it is pretty certain that LEE has been weakened to reinforce BRAGG, and that 818/knit has not been weakened to carry the" :New York election. If we had been in doubt upon the latter point, all our doubts Would have been dispelled by the clamor of the Copperhead papers. Conscious that ,defeat is to be their portion, they already, .by their efforts to explain how it will be brought about, acknowledge its certainty, and - anticipate the popular decision. If any troops have gone North, they are con valescents who would be of lno service to their country in their military capacity; but in their civil capacity, as loyal electors, will be of as much service to the cause of the - Union, as though they were fighting its battles with sword and gun in the deso lated ftelds of the South. If they have gone to New York, it has not been to weaken the Army of the Potomac, but to strengthen it,•' not to jeopardize the interests of the nation, but to subserve them. From these considerations it may be as sumed that a winter bampaign would not be impossible. Bit the question to be con sidered is, whether it would be expedient, in the largest sense of the word, or whether we should not gain quite as much in the end by allowing the Army of the Potomac to go into winter quarters. What would be the effect of such a movement upon the military situation? What would be its ef fect upon the duration of the warn and 'what upon the morale of the troops ? The importance of time, as an element in all military calculations, is inestimable. This fact has never been forgotten by the Presi dent and his advisers, however much some of our generals have disregarded it. If, in repeated instances, our army operations have come to nought through official tardi ness, the blame hae never rested upon Mr. Lute°lat. In October, 1862, when General 31cOLELLAN was telegraphing to Washing ton to have a railroad built for him to Win chester, the President very pointedly re plied: " I certainly should be pleased for you to have the advantage of the railroad from Harper's Ferry to Winchester ; but :It wastes all the remainder of the autumn to give it to you, and in fact ignores the question of time, which cannot and must not be ignored." So, in the same manner, When Governor SEYMOUR a few months since opened up a correspondence with the President, asking that New York be ex cused from the draft, and promising to fill her quota by volunteering, Mr. LurcoL - pr again 'urged the paramount iniportance of the question of time, as a reason for re fusal. The Copperhead journals, which have asserted that the Administration is purposely endeavoring to prolong the war until the next Presidential election, for political Purposes, would. do well to -recol lect these facts. .It might be inferred, therefore, that as the Government recognizes the primary import ance of time in all its warlike operations, and is so anxious to close the war as soon as possible, it would not countenance the sug gestion of going into winter quarters. Pos sibly the case may be just the reverse. A view months of apparent inactivity might be of incalculable advantage to our cause. It would allow the army an opportunity to rest itself, after the long and weary marches of the past six weeks, and when ' spring came its ranks would be filled by the new levyof troops, and it would take the !field with the assurance that it was entering upon the closing campaign of the war. Our people have long since outgrown the notion that the life of the nation depends upon the least given. number of campaigns, and that a few months of apparent delay, a few -months lull in the storm of the fierce con- Ilia, may precipitate foreign intervention. :We have come'to discover our own strength 'through the course of the war, and have taught other nations to recognize and re-" spect it. Henceforth, we shall be able to decide for ourselves the expediency or inex pediency of suspending "active military,ope rations during the winter season, without regard to the views of France or_. Eng land `"upon, the question.. If; :in: the opinion of the War Departnient, the cessation of operations, to allow _the Army of the Potomac to go into winter quarters, would not have an injurious effect upon the morale of the troops, would not tend to alter the present favorable as pect of the military situation, and would not tend to protract the war, then the inti mation we have had, that such a movement is to be carried into effect, should inspire a general feeling of confidence in its advan tageous results. If the apparent waste ot time is a real economy; if the delay, while weakening our own cause, must be fatal to the cause of the rebellion, then we shall hail with pleasure the announcement that the war in Virginia is suspended till next season. But this cannot be, until General TIIOIfAS is secured in his position at Chat tanooga, add General Bonwsrort is assured against the possibility of defeat in East Ten nessee. There can be no winter quarters for the Army of the Potomac as long as a possibility exists of LEE transporting his army to the assistance of BRAGG. Upon the issue of the Chattanooga campaign, therefore, the whole question of winter quarters must turn. And as we do not an ticipate anything but success in Georgia, we do not see why our soldiers in Virginia should not commence immediately to fell their timber. Charleston. That well-informed authority in military matters, the Army and Navy trournal, does not share the popular opinion as to the efficacy of " Greek fire," as a means of re ducing Charleston. It entertains the im pression that the attempt may serve the in nocent purpose of tickling the popular fan cies ; but it will hardly be seriously consi dered by professional men. In its last issue it says : "Until either the iron fleet can make its way up to the city, or we can plant a force on James island large enough to march on it, we have little faith in the cap ture of Charleston." It is undoubtedly true that until one or the other of these objects is accomplished there is no certainty of our abilit3 - to take "the doomed city." But will not eithei• be much more easy of accom plishment, after our Cummings' Point bat teries have shelled the enemy from Sulli van's Island ? And is it likely we shall ever be able to "plant a force on James Island," unless the movement is made un der cover of our Morris Island works ? We are not yet willing to abandon our faith in Greek fire, although we think it not impro bable that, as is the case in all new expedi ents, its destructive effects have been some what over-rated. Again, the authority above quoted 'says: "General GILMORE can doubtless shell the rebels out-'of the works on Sullivan's island just as he shelled them out of their works on Morris island, but this is not the capture of Charleston." Certainly it is not. The destruction of Fort Sumpter was not the capture of Charleston; nor was the successful siege of Wagner, nor the fall of Cummings' Point. But will not these successes help us to caoture Charles ton? Russia and England. Lord RUSSELL'S speech at Blairgowrie touched upon a variety of subjects. Among others, it glanced at the question which now agitates Europe—the relative position of the Emperor of Russia and his Polish , subjects. Lord RUSSELL, evidently speak ing as Foreign Minister of England, and not merely in his private character, made the very, strong statement that Russia had not complied with the conditions upon which Poland was secured to her by the Treaty of Vienna, and must, therefore, be considered, by Europe, as having forfeited all claim to possess that country. Neverthe less, his Lordship added, neither England's obligations nor interests required that she should go to war for Poland, and, there fore, it was unbecoming to rail against Rus sia when England was not prepared forcibly to resist aggression. If a public declaration that Russia, by misgovernment, had forfeit ed all claim to Poland, be not very like "railing," we are ignorant of the meaning of plain and insolent words. Whenever Prince GORTSCSAROFT calls on Lord RUS SELL, in the name of the Czar, to explain his language, his Lordship, according to all the antecedents of his peculiar policy, (crouching to the strong and bullying to the weak,) will declare, no doubt, that he spoke only as an individual, and used the words only in a Pickwickian sense. IF EVERY loyal man in New York and New Jersey . will do his duty at the polls to day, the Union will be sustained by im mense majorities. We, have said all that We can say to the voters of these States. We leave the truths :confidently to their championship. WASHINGTON. Special Despatches to The Press. WASIIINGTON, 0.. Nov. 2 The Navy—Justice to Jack Tar.” The Navy Department has just issued a general order stating the result of the Naval General Court Martial, recently assembled at Philadelphia, and which tried Acting Volunteer Lieutenant J. W. KlTTEnimun, of the navy, on the charge of the maltreatment of an ordinary seaman, subject to his ordeis. The specification sets forth that on or about the 14th day of June, in the year 1t63, on board the U. S. sieatner Watnsutta, in ISapello Sound Acting Volunteer, Lieut. J. W.

RITTEREDGE was found guilty, and sentenced by the court to be dismissed from the naval service. This sentence having been approved, Acting Vol unteer Lieut. ILTTEREDGE is accordingly dismissed from the service, and will hereafter cease to he re garded as an officer of the United States navy. Secretary WELLES, in promulgating this order, says : "The Department trust's that this example will have the proper effect bath on the officers and seamen of the navy-admonishing the one that the law framed for the purpeae a protecting seamen from a wanton or tyrannous 'abuse of authority shall not ,he violated with impunity, and giving seamen to understand that while they find their officers held to a strict account for. the exercise of authority, they in their turn will be expected to discharge their duty and conform to the require meuts of discipline with readiness and cheerful ness." The Navy Department has been informed by Lieutenant Oommanding HILL, in, a letter dated New Orleans, October 15th, that JA:ues Ceoan, a landsman, one of the five men of the United States bark W. G.

It contains the following important ad vices from Charleston to October 20, which say: "The bombardment of Fort Sumpter today is the heaviest that has yet taken place. " From sundown on Wednesday till sundown on Thursday, 1,216 shots, from 12• inch mortars to MO pounders Parrott's, have been thrown against the fort. " Our ion haa been seven wounded. " This evening the enemy opened fire from the mor tar battery at Cummings' Point, upon the northeast angle of the fort, which seems to be their special object of attention. The enemy's batteries engaged were those at Forts Gregg and Wagner, and the centre battery at Cummings , Point, with the addl., tion of three monitors. "The bombardment of Port Sumter is still going on, but the fire is much slacker, "Our batteries fire slowly and deliberately, and the enemy, at present, pay no attention to them." THE OHIO TREASON. Further Details of the Plot to Release the Prisoners at Camp Chase—The Friends of Vailaridigham., Circe:um/al - , Nov. 2.—Considerable stir was made in this city, on Saturday night by the arrest of Samuel P. Thomas, his wife, James P. Patton, of Covington, Ky.; Ruth McDonald, of Newport, Ky., and a Mil. Parmenter, oharg,ed,mn the affidavit of Major Reany, of General Clok's staff, with conspir ing to release five thousand rebel prisoners in Camp Chase, two hundred rebel officers in' the Ohio peni tentiary, and as many more in McLean Barracks, in this city. The streets were made by detachments of United States troops; under the direction of United States Marshal Sands, and the parties were held in $lO,OOO each fora `bearing on Wednesday before United States Commizsioner Holliday. Geo. E. Pugh is counsel for the accused. On Sundarthe Marshal went to Columbus on a special train and arrested the late State School Coin- missioner, - Cathcart ; J. D. Crimp, former partner of Thomas.; a Mr. Slade, formerly a rebel prisoner, and a Dr. Lazele, who stands high among the Cop perheads. Lazele was put in the penitentiary, and the others were brought in irons to this city and transferred to the county jail. Mrs. Parmenter was a washerwoman at the United States barracks in Newport, and geebe tmen of the prisoners and outside emissaries. The detective, gained her confidence and that of Mrs. Ma Donald, and became parties to their plans. They all met frequently at Thomas , house. Thomas fur- Mailed money to buy axes and chloroform to release the prisoners, and furnished a disguise to the detec tive who travelled between the Columbus and the Cincinnati canfederates. He visited Columbus fre quently and conferred with Cathcart and othere there, and was in conference with him when arrested. The plan of release at Camp Chase was as fol lows : When the prisoners saw a beacon light at a certain point, they ehould be ready. The guard would be shot by their outside friends, and axes would be thrown over to them. Once out, with axes and arms provided, they were to sterna the penitentiary, release Morgan and the other officers, and start for the Ohio river and cross near Mays ville. Cathcart was to go along, receiving a com mission in the rebel army for hie reward. Cathcart was arrested at Rev. Sabin Hough's house. Rough is the Secessionist to whom Val landigham wrote in 1861 that "the Union was hopelessly divided." Cathcart was from Dayton, and one of Vallandigham's particular friends and admirers. Wild as the scheme is, there seems to be abundant evidence that it was to have been tried a week ago ; but the plans miscarried then. Other arrests are to be made. It is not known how extensive the organization for this infernal business was. M4ItIN Blockade Runners Hemmed In by, the Steamer Mohican at Rio Janeiro. NEW Youir, Nov. 2.—The London Times, of the list, contains a Rio Janeiro letter of Sept lith, which gives the following On the 13th of September, at 4 P. M., the British bark Gracie, formerly the American bark Fanny Crashaw, was towed out in ballast, bound to Liver pool. At 545 P. M. the Gracie saw in the distance the Federal steamer Mohican, and, fearing hostilities on the part of the latter, the master ordered the tow boat to return, and anchored hie vessel near Fort Villegaignon, under the protection of the fort and her Majesty's ship Egmont • It is reported that the American minister has given orders to the captain of the Mohican to fire on the Gracie, the Lottie (formerly the A.merlcan bark Abigail), the Virginia, and the Ann E. Grant, should they leave the port, as soon as they get out side, on the plea that they are Southern property, and it is supposed that the Mohican is now cruising about with that olgect. It is stated, however, that the Brazilian Govern- ment has withdrawn the clearance papers of these vessels, and, therefore, they:will not be able to leave the port.

He says that over one hun dred and fifty have escaped from one county, and the trouble is increasing. In spite of the enor mous prices which the great Kentucky staple, to bacco, is bringing, slaves have depreciated greatly in value. A very large proportion of the slave owners say that slavery is hopelessly destroyed, and that they are willing to acquiesce in any dispo sition which may be made of the slaves.

The Melbourne Argus thus sums, up the position of affairs : The scene of action was no longer Tio. ranaki, but the Waikato and country in its rear to within thirty miles of Auckland, where the utmost alarm prevailed. In fact, Taranaki Was all quies cent, while Auckland, on the contrary; was in a slate of feverish inquietude and excitement, the murderous natives swarming in the mountain ranges in General Cameron'e ;ear `r Beet (as color - isle phrase it) the solitary and defenceless set tlers, dexterously avoiding to come in contact with troops in the open, but ever and anon exhibitiog an unimpressionable front in advance. Indrvinuale and families were thus barbarously assassinated by those cowardly rufrlans, , who glory in tietolie. rice, ere tinPeriOr instfolea of their War: Per forty milt sto the southward the city and country was ore vast camp, and General Cameron's most forts's!d position was at Kohiros. The New Zealander estimated that the rebels could bring 7,500 fighting men into the field, but that, even allowing on e. third foroonttngeneics, 5,000 men would be a powerful array for our scattered line of defend ere to encounter and arrest. In opposition to this, the same paper stated that the total amount of her Majesty's forces may be reckoned at something like 5 000 men of all arms—a very inadequate army to furnish garrison for posts and take the offensive in tke field against an enemy whose tactics are sudden murder, not a bold stand behind their own entrench merit's, or a trial of strength in manly conflict. It is said Sikhs may be expected from India; the remain der of the 12th, 40th, and artillery (about 1,000 in all), from Australia and Tasmania; reinforcements from England are likewise spoken Of, and the General Government are reported to have decided upon raising levies in the Australian colonies to the num ber of 5,000 men. Some of the murders by natives betokena descrip tion of warfare which, in the - end, may rival the -atrocities committed by Indian mutineers. For in stance, on July 24, they attacked Captain Calvert's house, on the high ground near the Maori position, on Pukekiweriki, and in the Wairoa district. They fired into the house. Captain and Mrs. Calvert fled into the bedroom, and Sylvester Calvert, aged eighteen years, son of Captain Calvert, was shot while endewvoring to get into a place of hiding. Captain CalVert defended himself bravely with his rifle as long as he could, firing seven shots, when, Sliding he had no more left, he took hie sword and, enraged by the death of his son, rushed out sword in band and attacked the whole body The Mao- Hee, after firing a volley, made off. Tie same day a party of Miseries shot at Mr. George Cooper, set tler, Walton, and killed him. They then lighted his clothes and roasted the body. The Steamship Vity of Limerick'.

CAPE RACE, Oct. 31, via Port Hood, Nov. 2. The Royal mail steamer China, from Liverpool on the 24th ult., via Queenstown en the 245th, was boarded by the news yacht of the Associated Press at 8 o'clock this evening. The China reporta that she experienced strong westerly gales during the passage. The steamer Louisiana, from New York, strived out on the 23d ult. The London Morning Herald says : The capture of the steamer Sir Robert Peel, off Rio Grande, is ex citing considerable attention at the Lloyds;-arid a pressure will be brought to bear upon the British Government on the subject, it being alleged'that there wits not the slightest ground for the seliure. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has been presented with an address by the students in the nowconform, ist colleges. He was also entertained at a farewell breakfast in London by his admirers. A letter irom Paris to the Daily News anticipates that the semi-Official press will immediately receive orders to say that, after all, the Mexican , people simply desire annexation to France. The Polish question remains without change. The London Times publishes a letter by the well known correspondent "Mysterious," comment. ing upon and showing the importance ofs the seizure of the steam rams in the Mersey, and expressing the.belief that the public will stand by the Government in their determination to defeat , fraudulent contrivances. Mr. Laird had been speaking at Birkenhead, de fending his course in the matter of the Alabama,"etc. The Emperor Louis Napoleon had received and congratulated the Mexican Deputation on their success. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News antici pates that the semi-official press of France will im mediately receive orders to say that, " after all the Mexicali people , simply desire annexation to France under a French prince. , ' The Paris Bourse continues heavy. St. Petersburg accounts say it is the general be lief that there will be a diplomatic rupture between Russia and -the Western Powers before Christmas. There were rumors of a threatening situation of affairs between Russia and Turkey. : , LATER VIA LIVERPOOL. Livanroot, Oct. 24—P./M.—The °nine could not leave the IVlersey at her regular holt; owing to a dense fog. She sails this afternoon. The c London journals of to day contain little of interest. . The' imes has an editorial holding up,'in warning tones, the threatening position of affairs throughout the world, and urging that it is the plain duty of Ens lar.d to seize and use all the opportunities of her position, and, as arbitrator, make and keep peace while she can. . The Army and Navy Gazelle considers the Southern cause more hopeful now than for some time past, and thinks that if similar apathy or non-success on the part of the Federals should mark the close of the year, there will be a great chance of the South ob taining no armistice, and that armistice will lead to an adjustment of the present deplorable difficul ties. 11 BMW WARD BERCHRE Al' BXRTER. HALL MORI tho London Post 7 • • . The scene outside of the hall was, altogether, one of !a most extraordinary description . A crowd be gan to assemble as early as 6 o'clock, and before 6 o'clock it became so dense and numerous as com pletely to block up, not only the footway, but the carriage-way of tha Strand, and the committee of management wisely determined at once to throw open the doors. A rush took place, and the hall be came filled to overflowing in a few minutes. Tho policemen and hall.keepers were powerless to contend againet this immense crowd, who low mediately filled the spacious corridors and stair cases leading to the hall, still leaving an immense crowd both in the Strand and Burleigh street. A few minutes before seven o'clock Mr. Scott, the ally Chamberlain, and the chairman of the meeting, accompanied by> ei large body of the committee of the emancipation society arrived, but were unable to make theit way through the orowd, and a messenger was despatched to the Howstreet police station , for an extra ,body . of police. &bout thirty or the reserve area were immediately seat and these, aided by the men already on duty, at last succeeded In forcing a'passage for the chairman and his friends. Mr. Beecher at this time arrived, but WEN himself unable to gain admittance to the hall until a quarter of an hour after the time appointed for the commencement of his address. The reve rend gentleman bore his detention in the crowd with great good humor, and was rewarded with a petted ovation, the crowd pAseelng forward in all directions to shake hands with him. He was at last fairly carried into the ball on the shoulders; of the policemen, and the doors were at once closed and guarded by a body of police, who distinctly announced that no more per sons would be admitted, whether holding tickets or not. This bad the elient of thinning, to some ex tent, the crowd outside, but some 10,000 or more 'people still remained, eager to seize on any chance of admission that might arise. At a quarter past seven a tremendous burst of cheering from within the building announced that Kr. Beecher had made his appearance on the platform. The cheering was then taken up by the outsiders, and re-echoed again and again. 530,731 80 4.634,327 12 433,333 85 4,611,263 81 394,638 33 5,239.271 62 945.863 55 Oc.L'r 26 27 • 26. 29.
