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.

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 being then
in command of the steamer, maltreated GEORGIC T
ILINIERS, an ordinary seamen subject to his orders,
by striking him in the mouth With a loaded re•
volver, and otherwise inflicting illegal punishment
upon the said Huorms, and on which charge Lient.
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. Anderson's ship's crew captured by the
rebels on St. Joseph's Island, Texas, on the 3d of
Kay last, bee returned to that vessel, having effect
ed his escape from his place of imprisonment, near
Houston, on the 16th of August. CBDAR made the
journey of nearly six hundred miles on foot through
the enemy's country, and only escaped, recapture by
the liberal and very frequent aid he received fro m
the Unionists he encountered during his trip.
AmOng the naval orders issued to-day are the fol-
lowing : Captain BENJ. F. SANDS detached from
the command of the Dacotah and ordered to cony
mend of the Fort Jackson; Captain. JAmae Ar.ooDr

'internal Revenue Receipts.
The receipts at the Internal Revenue Bureau for
October are fifty per cent. in excess of those for
September, and include about one million dollars as
the tax on deposits and circulation of banks. The
entire receipts since the bureau went into operation
are sixty-three millions, including nearly ten mil

It is ascertained that the statements which have
been made in some of the New York papers, in re
gard to the abstraction of bonds from the. Custom
House of that port, and the connection of Air. H. B.
STANTON therewith, are very incorrect. There is
the best authority for saying that the evidence thus
far adduced does not flit upon Mr. STANTON any
participation whatever in the transaction refer

"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.

Slave Stampede In Kentucky.
The Neehville Union of the 27th says
"A very respectable slaveholder from Kentucky
informs us that, within three weeks past, a change
seems to have come over the neg,roca in the south
ern counties of that State, and large numbers of
them are running off. 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. This sen
timent is rapidly spreading among the people. The
Union men are almost unanimously opposed to the
factious and selfish course of the pro-slavery bigots
at Louisville and Frankfort?,

He avowed before, end he did not flinch from
saying it now, that he was rather addicted to what
the Americans called "Southern proclivities ;" in

the belligerents were for the South and not for the.
North ; and he firmly believed that this feeling was
shared by a large and influential majority, not only
of his constituents, but of his countrymen. He said
this the more strongly and deliberately in conse

held the high position of Secretary of State for

be a powerful array for our scattered line of defend

the same paper stated that the total amount of her

5 000 men of all arms—a very inadequate army to
furnish garrison for posts and take the offensive in

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. <The bulk of the crowd had now con
gregated in Burleigh street, whioh was com
pletely tilled, and loud ones were raised for
some member of the Emancipation Committee
to address them. The call was not, however,
responded' to; but several impromptu speakers
mounted upon the shoulders of some workingmen,
and addressed the people in favor of the policy of
the North, and their remarks were received with
loud cheering from the large majority of those pre
sent. One or two speakers raised their voices in
sympathy with the South, but these were speedily
dislodged from their position by the crowd, whose
Northern sympathies were thus unmistakably ex
hibited. Every beret of cheering that resounded
from within the hall was taken up and as heartily
reoponded to by those outside. Indeed, they could
not have been more enthusiastic had they been
listening to the eloquent lecturer himself. This
scene continued without intermission until the
close of the meeting. When Mr. Beecher and his
friends issued from the building they were again re
ceived with loud cheers. A call for a sneer for
Abraham Lincoln was responded to in a manner
that only an English crowd can exhibit. A strong
body of police were stationed in the Strand ants
Burleigh Street, but no breach of the peace occurred
calling for their interferenee. Buringthe evening 'a
large number of placards, denouncing in strong
language the North, its President, and its advocates,
were posted in various positions in the neighbor
hood of the hall and elsewhere.

THE LONDON AND MIDDLESEX BANK
LONDON Thursday, Oct. 22.—The Daily News
states that cause which has-rendered it advisa
ble for this bank to merge itself in some other eats
blishment is, it appears, on making the quarterly
account on the first of the present month, that a defi
ciency of s.bout .L 13,000 in the bank account was
brought to light. •
The investigations which followed led to the
painful discovery that by a suspected collision be
tween certain of the customers and the cashier of
the bank, the former had been allowed to over
their accounts to the extent mentioned, and
that these checks had actually been passed- with
out being paid to the idebit of their accounts. How
long the affair has been going on has not yet trans.
pired. It is understood that the cashier has con
fessed to his share in the transaction,-'and' it is
question how far other clerks in the bank- can
shield themselves under the plea of having acted
in obedience of their superior officer in contributing
to the secrecy in which the matter was enshrouded ,
On the discovery, the stepasidopted by the directors
were sufficiently prompt, and up to the present time
£6,100 of the deficiency has been recovered, so that
the net amount of the lose is now, as we are assured,
positively ascertained to have beenreducedto the
sum of about £7,000. This amount the directors
would have been liberal enough to subscribe out
of their own pockets, had it been possible to prevent
the bank from being prejudiced in public estimation.

opinion is that the Vanderbilt has very much greater
speed than the Alabama, and that it will be impoesi

ACADEMY or Musio. - -The German Opera is wel
come. It is doubly welcome, having been so long
away, and having a time so brief to remain. " Mar
tha," an opera so well•known to most musical
people that it really ought to be called "old
Martha," which has been sung in English, German,
and Italian, by primi donne innumerable, and te
nors of all varieties—this familiar opera actu
ally seemed new again last night, so finely
was It given by Mr. Anschutz, and so warm
ly was It applauded by the large and brilliant
audience. Modestly beginning with this well
known music, precluding the unknown works to
be revealed, the German Opera was affectionately
embraced by the public, and told, In unmistakable
tones, that it is welcome. The Academy was once
again resplendent with fashion and beauty, as
our friend Mr. Jenkins might truly remark.
All the old opera•goere were present, and the fa
miller faces looked smilingly upon each other
There was the beautiful Mrs, —in the balcony,
the imperial Madame --- in the parquet, and
Mademoiselle Syren everywhere. Thus, before the
orchestra entered - every one felt, from the very
look and motion of the, audience, that the season
would bring back• to the Academy the brilliancy of
its earlier days. Tim. (t rnouain moaning like a mid
began, and the curtain rose, disoofering
Martha, impersonated by the fair Madame Johann
sen, surrounded by her ladies.
Madame Johanneen is also welcome with the
German Operar for which she did so much last year.
She comes with November, to convince us that
nightingales sing after the summer roses are dead.
Her delightful voice is as fresh and beautiful as
ever, though it is not in the music of " Martha"
that we prefer to hear it, Madame Sohannsen is
always the artiste, always earnest, true to the com•
poser's ideas, and always welcomed by the public.
Her reception last evening must have assured the
lady of the universal appreciation.
The abilities of Mademoiselle Frederic' had pro.
bably not a fair opportunity in the music which is
iven to Nancy; hut we should think her popu
larity is certain. She is very pretty, has a good
voice, though the music was too low for it. On
Wednerday she will sing Agatha in 1 1 Der Freischutz, ,,
and by that performance it will be safer to judge.
Herr Himmer, the new tenor, was the novelty of
the evening, and is destined to great success. His
voice is a robust and powerful tenor, of large range,
strong, and sweet, and clear. He is 'a dramatic
singer, and acted and sung Lionel better than any
of his rivals in the part. In " Martha "
Lotti sang, charmingly, and Brignoli, in the
great aria, is hardly to be equalled, but Himmer
poe , sesses 'a passion which is all his own, which
gives - new force and energy to the s music. He ranks
among the best tenors who have visited this coun
try, and surprised the audience last night In all
the concerted music he was especlly effective.
Herren Weinitch and Graft' exerted themselves
successfully, though the former did not give a ana
-1 ate Fun/aft.
The chorus and orchestra are :all that Mr. Ana
chutz promised, and that earnest and accomplished
musician should have the thanks of the musical
public for establishing the German Opera upon so
firm a basis. Its merits command success. For the
new operas promised we are impatient; they are
now in thorough rehearsal.
WAL7NUT•STEMET TEMATRE.—"We yesterday re
marked that the efforts of Mr. Eddy to tread the
higher walks of the drama would not go unappre
ciated, and to-day we reiterate that opinion. Last
evening we had the gratification of seeing the " Po
lice Spy" performed from• beginning to end. The
" Police Spy " is s.nnounced as a "new and extra
ordinarily interesting play, written expiessly for
Mr. E. Eddy, and, performed by him upwards of
sixty consecutive nights." The public is likewise
informed that the "Police Spy" will introduce
" new and novel effects ! splendid tableaux ! won
derful escapes! most grand mechanical effects! beau
tiful scenes ! grand masked ball ! splendid car
nival!" A new bacchanalian song and chorus are
likewise blazoned forth. We subscribe to the " won
derful escapes" in this startling programme, and
acknowledge that the " new bacchanalian song" had,
hitched on to it the pious refrain " And I pity Old
Nick if he ever gets me !" But these are all we can
acknowledge among the promises of the programme.
A strong effort of will may perhaps induce the
scales to fall from our obstinate eyes, and enable us
to perceive effects which are "new ,, and, strange to
say, at the same time "novel ;" " splendid tableaux"
where no tableaurtre ; " grand mechanical effects, "
whose machinery Is so exquisite as to be Scarcely
perceptible; "beautiful scenes," "grand masked
ball," "splendid carnival," where there is actually
to be seen pink chintz wrapp/kg bobbing around, and
a dozen dramatis personnee dancing out of time.
The " Police Spy" is notworthy to be acted. Dlr.
Eddy should not waste his abilities - upon such a
play. Instead of advancing in his profession, he
retrogrades, to the regret of every intelligent lover
of the. drama. A play without the slightest lite.
rary merit, with a plot so entangled and web-like
that the clearest intelligence might well shrink
frOm comprehending its portrayal, hideous with
the delineation of monstrous crimes, and acted so
miserably that it is to be wondered that any one
audience could patiently sit it out, is not the kind
of play to be produced at a first.clage Philadelphia
theatre, and does not provide a variety in the drama
which our audiences delight to witness.
We speak at length on this subject bemuse we feel
earnestly. With the best wishes at heart for the
drama, with a sincere interest in the improvement
oi every honest aspirant to histrionic laurel.% we
cannot but believe the stage, is degraded by the pro.
duction of such a play as the "Police Spy." If such
a production were exceedingly well acted, the gilt.
terivs veil of such merit thrown over the naked
ifrebe of its illiterate deformity might reconcile
the critical eye, in some measure to the view.
But when, from first to last, the delinea
tions are pOsititrely bad, when the glowing
promises of the management are not apparent in
their fulfilment, and when thd principal performer
himself succeeds in making only one ftr two points,
then there is surely a double right loudly to com
plain. The only parts wherein Mr. Eddy Was effec
tive were those in which he confronted and defied
Siam .I:PArgeanson, (Mr. B. Young).
We do not give a synopsis of the plot, both be
cause we cannot, and would not if we could.
Jacques, the Police Spy, appears to be gifted with the
cap of Fortunatus. He always appears in the right
place at the right time, or in the wrong place at the
wrong time. He hides behind beds and in cup
boards. He has a deadletch key to every house. He
is an expert swordsman and disarms ever so many
men. He administers a sleeping potion to Julie St,
Aunay, which is to last twentyfour hours, and he
-carries off his old father from the Beene, where he
has been imprisoned twenty-five' years. In. one or
two of the scenes there was an appearance of new.
nese. The last scene of the first act was an exact
imitation of one of the manes of the "Colleen
Bawn," wherein Eily O'Connor is haltdrowned and
saved.
We would advise the complete extermination of
such plays as the " Police Spy " from the stage of
the Walnut-street Theatre. This can be done with
profit to the management and pleasure to its pa
trons, and Mr. Eddy certainly possesses ability' to
warrant him honorable success in the higher order
of characterization he should aspire to.
M.R. GOTTSCHALK'S SECOND CONCEMT.—This eve
ning our distinguished pianist will give his second
concert at the Musical Fund Hall, and, doubtless to
an audience even more numerous and brilliant than
before. The programme promised far surpasses his
first entertainment, as the presence of so fine a can
tatrice as M'lle Cordier, who appears but for this
time, will add greatly to the interest of Gottschalk's
brilliant playing. Wile Cordier will sing the famous
Shadow Song in Meyerbeer's " Dinorah" (a part
in which she has delighted thousands at the Aca
&my), and a serenade to piano and organ accompa
niment by Gounod, the composer of "Faust:" We
notice with pleasure that Mr. Gottschalk will be
also assisted by Mr. Harry Sanderson in a number
of his best duet compositions, among which is the
"Fantasia di Bravura," so greatly applaulnd in his
New York concerts. Signor Carlo Patti is also an
nounced to appear.

FINANCIAL AND COMMIIRCLALI
MONEY MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA. NOV. 2. 1868
The disbureement of the Interelt on the November sam
pans of the Bve-twenties made a very active time on
Third street to-day, gold operations generally being
active. at 1413—market rather steady.
Mere was considerable stringency in the money mar
ket, and seven per cent. was the ruling figure for first
class loans. 7he enormous amount of subscription to
the five. twenty loan is having this effect, as thirty-six
million in one week is calculated to make somebody
short temporarily.
Government securities were steady during the day.the
demand for the five-twentiot., up to four o'clock, being
unabated. We hope this loan will he entirely given to
our own reople, as thus far It has been nearly all taken
by them.
The Stack-'market wee quite active up to the close of
operations, and price generally are firm. The severe
b ear movement that Senuylkill Navigation preferred and
Cala w hiss preferred have been subjected lo was enough to
knock the bottom out of almost anv market, but the
steady and persistent demand by those who - know the
tine condittonof these Stocks, absorbed every lot offered.

THE LILLIPUTIAN FAIRY SEWING MA
ourxe.—The Lilliputian Fairy Sewing Dlschine
and case, 'manufactured by Wheeler ar. Wilson,
which attracted so much attention at the late Fair
of the American Institute, New York, is soon , to
be on exhibition at the elegant salesrooms of the
Wheeler & Wilson Company in this city, at No. 704
Chestnut street. This exquisite machine is richly
gilt, plated, and pearled. The balance-wheel, band
wheel, shafts, etc., are heavily plated. Though of
petite dimensions, the machine is suited to practical
work, and is furnished with drawers and all the ap•
pliances ordinarily sent with the machine.
The body of the case is twenty inches high and
fifteen inches deep, made of richly.carved rosewood,
inlaid with elaboratd and beautiful arabesques in
pearl and gold; and lined with satin.wood. The
panels are painted with tasteful devices.
Cupid and Psyche smile upon you from the cover;
rosy little Cherubs, with dimpled chins and wings
outspread—as the old masters loved to paint them—
hover on the side ; the little bride herself, attired as
is_faithfully_port -, ea
on one panel; and General Tom Thumb , as "Young
America," is gorgeous on another; while a mimic
representation of the little bridal party, with their
attendants, and their flowing white bridal garments,
gives significance to the whole.

JEFF Davis ON LOOKOUT MOUNTATM—•
We see by the • papers that Jeff is going to Bragg
again about his overlooking the Yankee army front
Lookout Mountain. Jeff had better look ozn• ror the
Yankee army, whether on a mountain or in x vat
ley, for no amount of brag will save him unless by
free Grant of said army. Our, citizens should look
out now and get their winter clothing, and, without
going to brag, we would say that Charles Stokes as
C 0.% under the Continental, is the place to get it:
