A GIFT TO THE NATIONAL TREASURY FROM AN
AMERICAN MISSIONARY IN SIAM.
Rev. D. B. Bradley, of Bangkok, Siam, a self-sup•
porting missionary of the American Missionary
Association, addressed the treasurer of that society.
July 29, 1883, as follows:
I wish you to devote $3OO of the enclosed draft as
a small item of aid to our Government in carrying
on the lvar for the crushing of that moat atrocious re
bellion. I regard the war on our part as one of ithe
most righteous that was ever waged, and I see the
hand of God in it so distinctly, and his merciful pur
poses for those millions of our enslaved brethren at
the South so gloriously fulfilling, that my whole
heart ascends to God In prayer continually for our
cause. And while I pray, I feel that I must also
contribute what I can from toy small resources to
the millions of money that will yet be needed to com
plete the. great and glorious work of our Govern
ment now in hand. Please, therefore, to pay over to
the department, as anon as you welt can, the sum
above named.
Thave a son in his twentieth year who would, I
doubt not, enlist as a volunteer in the army if he
were'living in the States, and I feel that I should,
in such a case, not dare to do anything to withhold
him from It, though it would cost me terrible pangs.
Be, as well as myself, and his mother, regard' $3OO
as a very , cheap substitute for his services in the
army one year.
The Treasnrer transmitted the money to the . Su
cretiry of the Treasury, and received the following
reply • • •

LETTER" OF GOY, BRADFORD TO THE PRESIDENT OF
To his Excellency President Lincoln:
Sin ; Rumors are teeday current, and they reach
me in such a shape that I am bound to believe them,
that detachments of soldiers are to be despatched
on Monday next to several of the counties of the
State with a view of being present at their polls on
Wednesday next, the, day of our State election.
These troops are not residents of the State, and
consequently are not sent for the purpose of voting,
and as there is no reason, in my opinion, to appre
hend any riotous or violent proceedings at this elec
tion, the inference is unavoidable that these mili
tary detachments, if sent, are expected to ex
ert some control or influence in that election. I
ant also intormed that orders are, to be issued
from this military department on Monday, pre
senting certain restrictions or qualifications on the
right of auffrage—ot what precise character I am
not apprised—which the judges of election will be
expected to observe. From my knowledge of your
sentiments on these subjects, as expressed to Hon.
R. Johnson, in my presence, on the 22d instant, as
also disclosed in your letter of instructions to Gen.
Schofield, since published, in reference to the Kis-
SoUti election, I cannot but think that the orders
above referred to are without your personal know.
ledge; and I take the liberty of calling the sub
ject to your attention, and invoking your inter.
position to countermand them. I cannot but
feel that to suffer any military interference in
the matter of our election, or to prescribe any test
of oath to voters when all the candidates in the
State—with the exception, perhaps, of two or three
in one Congressional district—are all loyal men,
would be justly obnoxious to the public sentiment
of the. State. There axe other reasons why such
Iroceedlegs would appear" as an offensive dis
crimination against our State. Our citizens are
aware that highly important elections have re
cently taken place in other States, without, as it is
believed any such interference by the Government
authorities • and if votes by hundreds of thousands
have been , allowed to be oast these without objection,
and with no limit upon the elective franchise other
thari the State laws prescribe, and where one, at
least, of the candidates so supported was considered
Kt hostile to the Government that for months past
he has been banished from the country, certainly
any such interference between the loyal men now
candidates in this State would, under' such 'com
parisons. be more justly objectionable, and finds
nothing iii the present condition of things here to
justify it. I rely, therefore, upon your Excellency
for such an order as-wilt prevent it. -
I have the honor to be, with great respeot,
Your Excellency's obedient servant, .

The Election in Maryland.

BRADFORD
- . WAR DEPARTAIIENT,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1863,
ToWit E,, , rcellency .W. Bradfoid, Governor' of Mary.
. Sin :.Yours-efthe 3lat ult. was received yester
day. about,noon, sineethen Thave-been-giving 'most -
earliest attention to the subject matter of it. At My
call General Schenck has attended, and he assures
me it is almost certain that violence will be. used at
some of the, voting places- on election day, unless
prevented by his provost guards. Re says that at
some of those places the Union voters will not at
tend at- all, or run a ticket, unless they have some'
assurance of protection,: This makes the Missouri
case of my action, in- regard to which you express
your approval.
The remaining point of your letter is a protest
against any person offering to vote being put to any
test not feund in the laws of - Maryland. This brings.
us to a difference between fillesoll2l andataryland.,
with the same reason in both States. Missouri has,
by law, provlded a test for the voter with reference
to the present rebellion, while Maryland has not.
For example, General Trimble, captured while fight-
ing us at Gettysburg ; le, without recanting his trea
son, a legal voter by the lawn of Maryland. Even
Gen.Schenck's order admits him to vote, if he recants
upon oath. - I think that is cheap enough. My or
der in Missouri, which you approve, and General
Schenclg order here, reach precisely the same end.
Each assures the right of voting to all loyal men,
and whether a man is loyal, each allows that man
to fix byn his own oath. Your suggestion, that
newly all the candidates are loyal, I do not think
quite meets.the ease. In this struggle for the- ne
tion's life, I cannot so confidently rely on those
whose election may have depended upon disloyal
votes. Such men, when elected, may prove true, but'
much votes are given them in the expectation that
they will prove false. Nor do I think that to keep
the peace at the polls, and to prevent the persist
ently Maley* from voting, constitute just cause of
Offence to Maryland. I think she has her own ex
ample for it If I mistake not, it is precisely what
General Dix did when your Excellency was elected
Governor. I revoke the firer of the three proposi
tions in General Schenck's general order number 53,
not that it is wrong in principle, but because the
military being, of necessity, exclusive judges as to
who shall be arrested; the provision is liable to
abuse. For the revoked part I substitute the fol
lowing
That all provost marshals and other military
Officers 'do prevent all disturbance and violence at
or about the polls, whether oared by such persons
as above described, or by any other person or per
sons whatsoever._'.
The other two propositions of-the order 1 allow to
stand. General Schenck is fully determined, and
has my strict order besides, that all loyal men may
vote, and vote for .07' hom they.please.
Your obedient servant,
- A. LINCOLN,
President of the United. Staten.

GENERAL BURNSIDE TO- BE AT..

THE SITUATION BEFORE CHATTANOOGA
OMINOUS ARTIOLit
[From iheßiohmoLd Examiner, Oct. 31
_
For a long time the importance of East Tennessee
to the Confederacy seemed to be -tinaPPrSelated.
Not until that country fell into possession of the
enemy was its .incalculshle value realized. Except
what was furtively obtained from Kentucky, the
whole army supply of pork came from East Tennes
see and the contiguous counties of adjoining States.
The product of corn in that region was very heavy,
and no portion of the Confederacy, equal in extent,
afforded as large a supply of forage and winter pas-
turage. The occupation of East Tennessee by our
own armies was not only important in itself, but it
was important also in respect to the contiguous
country which it protected. A great line of railway
was secured, continental in its ditnenaions and in its
value. The .alines and lead mines of Virginia,
which produce all the salt and lead used in the Con
federacy, were protected so long as East Tennessee
wss OWN.
But the evacuation of that region, and its surren
der without a single battle to the enemy, has Jost us
all these advantages. The railway is broken up,
and there can be no communication between Gene
ral Jones, at Bristol, and General Bragg, at Celelca
mange, who are lees than one hundred and fifty
miles apart, except by a circuit of twelve hundred
miles, through Petersburg, the. Carolinas, and Au
gusta. The hogs of East Tennessee, affordingtwen
ty.five millions of pounds of pork, are now being
slaughtered for the Yankee armies. The vast corn
crops and forage ;supplies of that department, suffi-
Ment to winter all the live stock of the Confederate
armies, are being led to the fifty thousand horses
and mules belonging to the forces of Grant. The
salt and lead works of the Confederacy, and the nurn7
berlesa eaves of Southwestern Virginia, from which'',
imnienikaupplies of saltpetre are obtained for the
Ordnance departmient, are now' imminently threat
ened by the a presence "of hostile armies, re
quirieg-the presence of heavy forces of our own for
their protection.
The task imposed by the lois of. East Tennessee
upon Gen. Samuel Jones, commanding in South
west Virginia,' is Onerous. Between the Yankee
generals, Averill in-the direction of Cheat Moue.-
tain, and Burnside threatening from Knoxville, he
has a line of more than six hundred miles to guard.
The task is rendered doubly arduoua through the
thorough disorganization of the Kentucky and Ten
nessee cavalry, who have been carousing, pilfering,
and skulking in Southwestern -Virginia, under the
non• discipline of the Kentucky generals, to whose
tender mercies the people of that country have been
turned over ever since the war began.
Though the Kentucky generals, who were en
trusted with the pr?tection of that important coun
try, gave it to the Yankees without a battle, and
although Cumberland Gap was surrendered without
a shot by a Mississippi brigadier, of West Point
training, the country, we are glad to believe, is not
lost. At the last moment the Government seems to
have awakened to some sense of the importance of
EP st Tennessee ; not merely as the backdoor, in the
Yankee phrase, of the Confederacy, but as the only
ad , quete source of supply for meat, and as a very
important one for grain and forage. We believe
that in a few weeks more the enemy will have been
di iven out of East Tennessee. Indeed, it is highly
probable that the work would have been 'aikorn
plished by the present time if the movements of 'our
armies had not been retarded by the want of shods.
While our brave troops are waiting, as - late as Cato
-
her, for o boes, the enemy Is consuming ten tides the
vs lue of these necessary articles in corn, pork and
forage ; but we have reason to believe that East
Tennessee -will soon be recovered, even although
this should be after all its supplies are exhausted by
the Yankees. -
BEFORE CHATTANOOGA
ATLANTA, Friday, Oct. so.—No new reports from
above by telegraph. The following has been received
by mall :
MISSIONARY BID6B, Thursday, Oct. W.—The ene
my have crossed a division at Brown's Ferry, three
miles below Chattanooga, and are in possession of
Raccoon Mountain, which they are apparently for..
Hiving. A rapid shelling of our camps on the west
site of Lookout Mountain was kept up by the ene
my to-day, our batteries replying,
No casualties reported.
Heavy skirmishing anticipated on the left.
A special to the Intelligencer, of the, same date,
says: " Two divisions, Howard's and Hooker's,
came down yesterday from Bridgeport to Lookout
Valley, and were joined by Granger's corps last
night, which crossed at Brown's Ferry, three miles
below Chattanooga.
Jenkins' division attacked the enemy at two
o'clock this morning, and captured a number of
wagons and twenty. live prisoners. The enemy now
occupy the west side of Lookout creek, and Long
street's forces the east side."
The Daily Bulletin, which was formerly published
at Winchester, Tenn., but since the evacuation of
that section by General Bragg, has been published
at Newman, Ga., bag the following concerning "the
situation in front:"
" With terrapin. like tenacity, Roseorans is hold
ing on to the very strong position of defence at
Chattanooga. < We have all been expecting that he
would evacuate the position after having been so
badly defeated at Chickamauga, and his best and
only means of transportation out off—that is, the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, the southern
or southwestern end of which is perfectly command
ed by our guns, that Rosecrans seems fully to under
stand that where there is a will there is a way. ,
" Some of the enemy's pickets have come over to
ours, and offered the moat unheard-of prices for
something to eat, even proposing to give a line
horse for a bushel. of meal, or a fine overcoat -for
something to sustain life for a few days. Such acts,
while they go to'prove a wonderful fidelity on their
part to the hellish canoe in which they are engaged,
also exhibit the fact that starvation, at present, is
closer upon the heels of that army than upon ours.
And so Ronecrans holds on, defying any, attack from.
Gen. Bragg, or any flank movement. Bow long he
will be able to thus defy us remains to be seen, but
surely_not long. , ' . "
CUIRLESTON
Details of the Bombardment of Sumpter.
At date of Oct. 30, the Herald correspondent writes:
The betterlei now poundings the fractured walls of
Sumpter are not those that began the work of de.
struction and left the gorge wall a mass of ruins
some weeks since, - but are new ones, constructed
since we gained Possession of Fort Wagner and Bat
tery Gregg. It will not, be regarded as contraband
to state that General Gilmore has availed himself of
the rebel works which fell into our hands - to cover
his men and guns, and to' turn them to his own use.
Both Wagner and Gregg are now so altered and
changed that they have become as valuable to us for
offensive purposes as they were as defences to the
rebels. The faces of the works have been turned,
and the people of Charleston, and the garrisons of
James and Sullivan's Islands may, now look into
the mouths of our guns without the least trouble, if
they are curiously inclined. Beauregard would
hardly recognize the batteries now, either as to their
outlines or armament. The old capacious bomb
proofs might be found affording better protection to
Union soldiers than they did to the rebel garrisons,
and in every way wouln that chieftain discover the
improving touch of our engineers' skilful - hands.
Besides the rebel works, new ones have been con
structed, which are practically as strong. In these
are armaments such as the world never saw, and
with which we may hold Charleston at our merit.
Time alone can develop their capabilities, and we
can afford to await its revelations.
On Tuesday morning fire was again resumed, the
guns being directed against the southeast face of
the work is high had been a good deal shattered and
torn by our previous bombardment. Tit:B face had
no protection in the shape of heavy shields of ma
sonry and barricades of sand-bags, which had proved
so effectual on the gorge wall. Our projectiles - soon
began to tell on the masonry, as the face-line Of fire
was nearly direct and the range short. With.the
naked eye huge flakes of masonry could be seen to
detach themselvea from the parapet and face of the
wall, and go crashing down to the water's edge, en
veloping the fort in a cloud of dingy reddish dust,
which was slowly swept away by the wind, and set-.
tied upon the water, leaving ragged gaps in the wall
and revealing the arches and a portion of the piers.
The face of the wall fell into ruins very rapidly.
Firing was continued during the day, and through
out the night it was maintained from a portion of
the guns, merely to harass the enemy and prevent
them from working, either to construct a work with
in or to repair damages.
And here it may not be inappropriate to give the
reasons for the ,recommencement of the fire upon
Fort Sumpter. Information had been received from
time to time from deserters and refugees from the
enemy's lines that the rebels were mounting guns
on the channel faces of the work, and also con
structing bombproof'' to protect a garrison. The
information came ao direct, and seemed to be so well
confirmed, that Gen. Gilmore' determined to com
pletely knock down the southeast face of the fort,
and effectually prevent any efforts to place the work
in any condition for offensive operations. So
_he
ordered the batteries to be opened, which was done,
as I have before stated, on Monday. last.
During the bombardment of Suinpter the rebel
flag 'WAR twice shot away, and again hoisted. That
rigged ensign must have fallen to the ramparts at
least six times since Gen. Gilmore's batteries first
opened; yet it flaunts defiance to us yet.

Pocotaligo and Sullivan's Island. - It is thought pro—
bable that 'only heavy demonstrations
against Savannah - and Pocotaligo, -while the real
attack will be Made upon Sullivan's Island. Still
it is necessary that Gen. Beauregard should be pre

there will be only the guneof Sumpter to hinder the ,

[Prom the Richmond Examiner, Oct. 30. ]
It is reasonable to believe that the war in . :Northers
Virginia le over. The country between> the Rapi
dan and the Potomac is a desert. Repeated experi
ments have proven, if anything can be preveu,. that
a march from Washington to Richmond fn, that di
rection is impracticable: It is equally certain, from
the test of experience, that an advance by the
Peninsula, of the James and York, or by the
"mail route" from ...Aquia creek and Fredericks
burg, is impossible and absurd. But one read to
Richmond has been untried by the enemy. It is
that of Norfolk and Petersburg—the south side of
the James. Some insignificant experiments and
explorations have been made in the counties which,
intervene between the cities of Petersburg and Nor
folk, but no reconnoissance In force. That nothing
can be done on the lines ofScott, Mc Do well. Meade,
Pope, Burnside, or.PgcOlellan, seems now to have
been established as admitted truth in the Yankee
mind, and it has begun to consider whether Sunda
and the Blackwelder offer better opportunities.
Those localities were the scenes of LongstreePir
failure and discomfiture, . and so far furnish en
couraging reminiecences to the enemy. Other routes
are known, this one only.is unknown. The others
are filled with predestined defeats ; this one has, at
least, no Pdanassu or Fredericksburg on the
way. If another madelo proceed '" on to Rich
mond is attempted, it may, with reason, be sup.
posed that it will be made on the south side of the
James. But, that. it will be shortly attempted,
even there, is ore than problematMal. The United
States have met with a sufficient number of (Heap•
pointments as to Richmond to discourage even the
perseverance of Yankees. It is more probable that
they wilrabandon the vain endeavor to capture this
capital, and concentrate their forces on the West
and the South.

A DISCOVERY IN FORT WAGNER.—The following
is an extract from a private letter to a gentleman of
New York, dated
"-FORT WAGNER, October JC, 1963.
"I opened one of the unexploded magaiines, and
dugout a lot of as villainous compounds' as 01r. -
Beauregard ever complained of. First, was .a little
box containing sulphuric acid, in tubes about six
inches in length by onethird of an inch in diameter,
and by it a box marked fire bottles,' on the inside
of the cover of which was a card of 'directions.'
Taking one of the bottles, and preparing it accord
ing to tbe direction, I pitched it at something hard.
" The experiment was perfectly successful. The
bottle burst, the contents were ignited, and burnt
for about ten minutes. The bottles evidently con.
tamped camphene, gunpowder, and chlorate of pot
ash. To-day I found another of their 'fire bags,'
which consists of a tin can bolding about a quart,
in the centre of which is suspended a smaller can.
The inner can coptains powder, and the 'space
around it is filled with cotton and turpentine.
A time.fuse communicates front the out
side with the inner can. Being a little sus
picious of the fuse, I first emptied the fluid by means
of a small opening at the top, and commenced my
investigations by 'regular approaches from. the
bottom. Cutting through this, I seized the 'little
joker and twisted off its neck. Finding that the
lure left plenty of margin for'dodging. I brought one
out and got up some fireworks at rebel expense. It
exploded, throwing the cotton four or tire yards
around, and covering the ground with tire. I don't
see how tiir. Beautegard can complain of Greek
fire' after this."

FAREWELL BREAKFAST IN LONDON-NON•CONFORM..
IST ADDRESS TO MR. BEECHER.
The Cunard steamship China arrived in New
York Teaterday, bringing the foreign mails to the
24th of October.
On the 23d a farewell breakfast was given to Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, at Redfern Hotel, in Lon.
lien, Rev. Baptist W. Noell presiding. The chair
man said that they were met to express their sym
pathy with the country of which their guest. was a
citisen, with the Government he supported, and with
the great movement of which he was an ardent sup
porter. Mr. Beecher had been for many years a
brave advocate of the oppressed, a manly patriot,
and he had shown, during his stay in. England, a
boldness not easily daunted, and a good temper that
no provocation could disturb.
Rev. Dr. Waddington read an address to Mr.
Beecher, expressive of sympathy with the cause he
had at heart, and of warm admiration of him as a
man and a - patriot, and full of fraternal expressions
and good wishes for his welfare.
HR. BEECHER! 8 FAREWELL-REMARKS
Rev. H. W. Beecher, who was received with great
applause, responded at considerable length. He
said he felt that he could speak with perfect free
dom in that assembly as to what be bedeted to be
the -interposition of Providence on his behalf since
he had been in this country. When he came from
the continent he had been for more than twenty
weeks without speaking, and was quite out of train
ing and after speaking in Blanchester, Edinburgh,
Glasgow, and Liverpool, his voice completely failed
him. He was afraid he would not be sole to speak
in Exeter Hall. When, however, on Tuesday morn..
ing he spoke to himself, he found hie voice as clear
as a whistle. Some might say that his recovery
was owing to the remedies he adopted, but he was
disposed to think that in their use he had the direct
interposition of the Almighty. Only last night he
received by the mail some very important doeu
me.uts from. America which throw considerable
light on the state of , public feeling in New-York in
rep aid to the negro. The "late riots were really the
work of the Irieh'population.
Dir. Beecher then read numerous extracts from the
report of the committee appointed to relieve the
colored people, showing the sufferings which the
negroes had endured at the bands of the mob, and
the energy with which the merchants and religious
congregations were setting themselves to work to
compensate them, as far as possible, for their suf
ferings. The reply to this report, a document ad
mirable for excellent composition and noble aenti
inents, was signed by twelve or fifteen colored men,
who were gentlemen, scholars, and Christians. It
was said that the colored man was worse off in New
Yoi.k than in South Oarolina but, having been in
the hitter State, he could bear testimony to the
contrary'being the fact. Hundreds and theuaands
of, emancipated negroea were being educated by
white people, who asked for no other return but
board and lodging. The- Christian Church of the
North was fully conscious of its duty in regard to
the black man.
. .
He read other extracts from reports and other do-.
currents to show that in 1861 and subsequentlynear
ly all the Christian churches in A.merics had de
ers] ed against slavery. In the North and West all
the most intelligent laymen and ministers of religion
had, as a body, settled down in the immovable con
viction that the war must go on until the rebellion
was crinhed arid slavery destroyed. Let England
give them credit for having sufficient reason for that
determination and for differing from those who,
urged peace. So far as the irdluenceof England was
felt on the other side of the Atlantic, it had been all
against liberty and for slavery, though he - did not
mean to say that:was what she meant. He hoped,
therefore, they Would not consider it an unreasona
ble request if he asked them to revise their opinions
on the subject, and in doing so not to allow them
selves to be influenced by commercial .interests nor.
by unprincipled newspapers.
AIR. - RBRORRR AND' SHE NON CONFORMISTS
On Thursday evening,. October 22, hlr. Beecher
was entertained at a scarce, and presented with an
address by the students of five'of the-Non-conform
-Ist colleges in and about London—namely, the In
dependent colleges of St. John's wood and Hackney,
the Countess of Huntingdon's College, at Chesbunt,
the Baptist College, Begent?s Park, and the Presby
terian Theological Hall, Queen's square. The place
of meeting was the Independent College, known as
New College, St.- John's wood, and the number of
students assembled was two hundred

JonN STUART MILL AND TEM MEETING. AT EXETER
HALL..
Sohn Stuart Mill was , invited to take part in the
great meeting at Exeter Hall on Tuesday evening,
but was unable to do so in consequence of his ab
sence from England. He wrote-the following let
ter:
" Ay' orrox, Oct. 19,1863.
" DEAR Silt : Your note concerning the meeting
to be held to-morrow, reached me to day. I regret
my inability to attend the meeting, and also, that I
was unable to give you the immediate answer you
requested. The meetings which have been held for
the purpose of hearing Mr. Beecher have been very
satisfactory, and his addresses must have done
much good. I am, &c., - J. S. MILL.
"F. W. Chown, Esq., Ron. Secretary of the
Emancipation Society.",
Lord Lyndhurst and lion. Josiah Quincy.
To the Editors of the Boston Doily Advertiser r :
An article which was copied into your paper of
yesterday wotilit lead to en inference that Lord
.Lyudhurstand Hon. Josiah Quincy, Sr., were born
on tosineday. Such, however, is not the fact ;
but, so near were the dates of their birth that, as Mr..
Quincy has been often heard to say, the same nurse
was able to give her attendance successively to the
two infants. Mr. Quincy, it is "well known, was
holm on theath of February, 1772, and Lord _Lynd
hurst on the 21st of May, 1170, just three months and
seventeen days later.
John Singleton Copley, as Lord Lyndhurst Was
called in his earlier days, was the son of the emi
vent.historical and portrait painter who bore the
same name, and who was born in Boston in 1758.
BM mother, Susrthua, was the daughter of Richard
Clarke,
: one of the , famous consignees of tea in 1770,
by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Wing
low, of Boston. Jim grandfather, Richard Copley,
was a noted tobacconist, who, kept his store, in the
drain — Boston 29th sttinl, t tau.
Mr. Copley, the artist, married in the fall of 1769,
aril was the ,father of Lord Lyndhurst and two
daughters: Before the breaking out - of'the war of
the Revolution, he visited England,'ana in 1774 he
left Boston for Italy, where be remained till 1776,
when he joined his wife and children in England,
they having left Massachusetts- from Marblehead
barber on the 27th of May, 1776, in the Minerva,
Captain Callahan, - arriving at Dover on the 24th of
the subscquent Jline, the vcasel bring the last that
left New England bearing the British' tag. Mr.
Copley, a few months before his marriage in 1769,
purchased the estate in Beacon street -lying west of
Walnut street. Here it is presumed Lord Lynd
hurst and his sisters were , born. He died in Eng
land on the .15th of September, 1815, aged about 76
years.
Lord Lyndhurst's decease is reported to have cio.
curred on the 12th of ,October, 1863.
EARL RUSSELL'S BEAVER]'.—The London Spec
!Nor. in an able and just article on the seizure of the
rebel rams, thus speaks of Earl Russell's action ;
"Earl Russell has seldom done a wiser, never a
braver, pUblic 'act than the stoppage of Mr. Laird's
steam rams. He knows, no man better, how great,
will be the annoyance of the friends of the South,
bow easy it is in England to get up a clamor against
any act, however inevitable, which bears, or can be
made to bear, an appearance of submisiden to pres
sure from without. To atop the rams was to defy
three-fourths of the Conaervative party, to irritate
the whole shipping interest, to hazard a defeat in
of law, and to risk 'an explosion of nation-
ality like that which in 1808 hurled Lord Palmer
ston from his place . The Foreign Secretary has
dared it all, and in daring it, has saved the country
from a blunder, the consequences of which might
have affected her position for generations "to come."
A Straortniox.—Professor Goldwin Smith makes
this pertinent suggestion through the column:sof the
London Daily News:
41 The Attorney General admits, as a noto
rious fact, that 'the Confederate States have en
deavored to make this country to some extent the
basis of their maritime operations.'
"If this be the case, .I submit that the main re
y ot
reed is nainst Mr. Laird, and that ail
ties as to the. ag construction of the , Foreign Enlist
n,ent Act and the collection of legal evidence are at
an end.
"To call the Confederate States promptly to ac
count for the violation of Our neutrality which they
have committedi and are still attempting to commit;
is the manifest duty of those who are:it:fusible
for tbe honor and. safety of his country

THB ORGAN
There it stands, twenty-four feet deeps forty-eight
wide and sixty feet high-4pacious enough for a
boarding house! It will not-seem so, large to the
beholder, because the Music Hall is‘ so spacious.
The great metallic pipes in front do not appear to
be very large, yet they are twenty-two• inches in di
ameter and thirty-two feet in length,. independent
of the foot, which is between seven and eight feet
in length, making the entire length of the CO.
about "fort; feet. The metal is an eighth of an
inch thick at the top and a half limb at the bottling,
of pure tin. •
The interior of the instrument is exceedingly cons.
pies. At the base, in the recess formerly ocaupiee
'by the old organ, are the lungs—six pairs of bellows
and a huge wind chest. To produce a steady, even
flow of air, a series or compensating bellows are ire•
troduced, regulated by springs and weights, which
give an unvarying pressure. There is a forest of
pipes, standing in ranks like soldiers at review the
tallest and largest is thirty.two feet high and
feet square, and the smallest three-eighths of an inch
in length, and as small as a quill from'a chicken!er
wings
here are five separate organs, which can'be used
separately, in part, or together, to make up:this
grand instrument. There are eighty-nine stops,
besides sixteen couplers, end leveret pedals for
crescendo and tremulent passages. There are four
key boards, or manuals, as they are usually palled,
besides the keys for the feet, called the pedal key
board. „
A pipe thirty-two feet in length,"givee the pitch of
low C, or 0 0, an octave lower than the lowest tone
of: a grand piano. A column of air in such a pine
makes thirty.tivo vibrations in a second. &pipe
sixteen feet long will make sixty-four vibriitioni in
a second. One eight feet -long, one. hundred - and
twenty-eight, and so on in.the same : ratio. The
smallest pipe in this inatrument makes over thittY
two thousand vibrations a second..
The pipes are of many forms—plain, straight
tubes—some trumpet shaped—tubes with bell•shaped
mouths, elliptical mouths—mouths stuffed. with
plugs of wood as if, likeschool-boys, they had vio
lated rules and were gagged—others with fine sieves
across their mouths, as ,if the sound,was to be' 111-
tered—others with mouths half closed—some with
ref ds inside—some to growl angry thunder--some to
charm with dulcet tones.
The stops are divided as follows;
Great Organ
Swell Organ
Choir Organ
Solo Organ.
Pedal Organ
There are larger organs—instruments with more
pipes—but excellence does not consist in number of
pipes or stops alone. The .great organ at Ulin has
nearly one hundred stops ; the organ of York Off.
thedral has eight thousand pipes; but for complete
num, power, capacity, and purity of tone they are
surpassed by this instrument. The York organ is
inferior to many others in England. The Harlem
organ is ancient, and is wanting in stops of mcklera
invention, which give _vigor, richness,' and aWeet
nese. The foundation stops of an organ are the
principals and diapasons. What in this country is
called the open diapason, in Germany is called the
principal, and the stopped diapason is called the
gedeckt.
It is a work of art in which every lover of art the
world over—especially of America, and more espe
cially of Boston—may take a just pride. ' But 'it
needs no praise from us ; its own six thousand voices
will forever declare its glory !
THE DEDICATION. ODE.
We have only space for the concluding portion of
the ode
Bring the wood of e.hoicest grain,
Dyed with hues of richest stain,
Cried the builder old ; -
And choose a worthy architect,
Whose eye can skilfully-select-
The subtlest curve in leaf, and branch, and wave,
Let his obedient hand engrave .
Whatever form his busy thought shall name
Worthy to 'bind these silvered spires within their
sculptured frame.
Art-brothers then in answering concord came,
With fancy glowing in the flame,_
And flashing upward to their high intent,
The soul of one an instrument
Where Beauty's hand her influence lent,
Until hard lines by him were blent,
And fluted columns lightly sent
To greet the upper air,
lrowned with the forest's leafy hair,
Lost in the convolutions of his work,
We seem to hear the stir of summer wind,
Or rustling birds who lurk
In hidden nests we seek, but never find.
Another, of athletic mind,
Brought two strong sons of Atlas, doomed to stand
Forever holding up with strained hand
The world of varied pipes and carvings rare;
Caryatids, gloompbrowed,
By his power were allowed
Again to leave the silent halls of Greece
And listen in their toil to Music's voice of pease.
And many were the figures from his soul.
Which fled to form and answered his control;
Chief of them all, the master soul of song
Follows with jealous love the keys along.
Last, highest, as if just alit,
See divine Cecilia sit;,
She has found our far dominions,
On her wide melodious pinions ;
Prom her rapt lyre it seems she drops
Sweet wandering notes to guide the swelling stops,
While circle into circle breaking,
Wider circles still awaking,
Every sphere can swinging hear
Theripples of our atmosphere,
The growing circles of our prayer;
Circling beyond all time, all place,.
And breaking with its finite grace
Upon dim shores of God's illimitable space.
a. a 5. a. *. *
Let the musician come,.
Fresh from that star where Genius has its home,
Whose sympathetic soul
Sways, like the wind. swept grain,.
To human joy or pain,
And yet no passions trample to their base-control.
His hand shall vibrate the responsive strings,
Rising on supernal wings
01 Music's wondrous mystery;
Now, at his touch, unveiled are hidden things,
Now falls oppression, now decay false kings ;
Through all the tones the voice of Freedom rings
One choral chant, one song of Praise—A NATION'S
VICTORY.

BROTIGRAII'S OBJECTIONS TO THE PB.OOLAISIA.-
Tion.—Lord Brougham, in his speech on A.merican
affairs at the opening of the Social Science Conven
tion, made an excellent defence of the emancipation
proclamation, when he thought he - was , offering the
roost serious objection to it. He said
" When I heard of North America issuing a pro
depletion to emancipate the slaves, I knew very
Weil before -they confessed it that it was not for the
sake of emancipating the slaves [hear], but for the
sake of beating the whites. They call out for the
caterminaticin_of the whites,not in order to liberate
the blacks; but to restore the Union. [Cheers.]
The Union, and not themegro, is the object of the
emancipation proclamation, and to that proclama
tion, therefore, I could not give any kind of
support"
Thetis the precise truth. Emancipation is a war
earure, and not a philanthropic experiment. -The
n egro gets the benefit of it—and we are glad ofputt
—hut the stile object of it is to save the - Union.Exr
cept for military ends, the Government is as power
lr ss to emancipate the Southern negroes as is Lord
-Brougham himself: But it -will take British' stu
pidity eeceral generations to understand this, and
