TAE NEWS.
AFFAIRS, in the Southwest have their usual cha
'fader of alertness and enterprise. A deg:latch from
Knoxville states that East Tennessee is at present
cleared of all important rebel forces, the latest fight,
whiob occurred at Roan Springs, having resulted in
'the rout of the rebels. A gallant cavalry fight or
-coked at Lawrenceburg, Ttnn., where lea men
under Major.Eitzgibbon defeated three times their
number of rebels. A large force of guerillas have
made a raid upon Western Kentucky, tearing up
railroads and burning bridges, and capturing a num
ber of prominent citizens in the neighborhood of
Union city. Price's forces have mini been defeat
ed at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The meet operations
on Canton, Miss., by Mcnerson's forces from
Nieltsburg, are thought to have been successful in
preventing a formidable raid by rebel cavalry on
Idemphie. Refugees are still flocking into our lines
from the rebel territory.
A COICSIDERABLIt engagement has occurred at
Colliersville, Tennessee, on the line of railroad from
Chattanooga. The enemy attacked a body of
Rooker's troops in heavy force, but, after a severe
fight, were repulsed. General Geary and staff are
reported prisoner&
Garranat Baa.oo's forage train, sent up L;)oltout
'alley, was recently captured by the forces of Ge
neral Thomas. In the same army,an altercation oc
curred between Colonel Loomis . add Major flerrod,
•of the 9th Illinois Cavalry, resulting in the death of
the former. Rerrod's life was with difficulty Bared
from the fury of the soldiers.
Ireretmorseu from North Carolina continues
favorable to the cause, of the Union. The Raleigh
Standard regards the elections in the North as a blow
to the last hopes of the Confederacy. A new rebel
ram, built at Wilmington, is mentioned in come.
ponder= as being ready to make an attempt against
the blockade.
A avrAirsnir arrival from Europe has brought
some interesting news of the progress of the Mexi
can and Polish questions. In his, speech to the
Mexican deputation, it is remarked that the Era-
Teror made no mention of the Archduke Maximi
lian, who may Possibly be abandoned for a French
place or general, as doubt exists whether France
'will offer the guarantees which the Archduke re.
quires. A parting breakfast was given to Mr.
Beecher at Manchester.
Ten speeches of Jefferson Davis to the troops in
the Southwest are reported in the rebel papers. He
recommends conciliation to what he is pleased to
term his misguided brethren of Tennessee.
Tux Mexicali papers state that quarrels between
the French soldiery and the people are of common
Occurrence in the capital of M.exwo, and numbers
of the French have been assassinated. The guerillas
are growing bolder and more numerous, and lately
a republican demonstration occurred in one of the
theatres. The rumor that France desires to aban
don Mexico is current in British,correspondence.
Fonmnarn news of the elections enlarges the aha•
'raster of the victories achieved by the Union party.
*Nearly all the unconditional Union candidates for
'Congress in Maryland have been elected by ent.
phatio majorities. Colonel Creamed], of the First
district, is perhaps the only exception, having been
defeated by Crisfield, the present Representative.
The returns from the West convey no definite result,
though it is very probable that the Radicals have
carried Missouri.
IN behalf of the Episcopal clergy who signed the
protest against Bishop Hopkins , view of the Bible
through slavery, Rev. A. De Wolfe Howe has writ•
ten a strong and unanswerable letter replying to the
Bishop of Vermont.
The South not a Nation.
:When Mr. GLADSTONE ventured to affirm,
somo time ago, to a British audience, that
"JEFFERSON DAVIS had made the South a
great'nation," he was going one step farther
than even the editor, of, the Richmond Whig
would care to tread. Some time last month
JEFssnsott DAvis made a speech to some
.of the rebel troops in Alahama, in which he
was reported to have said :
"May you live to see the hag of our infant Repub.
lie the ensign of a great nation, floating proudly
among the national colors of the world."
The Richmond Whig is not well pleased
with this species of rhetoric, and gives utte
rance to its displeasure in these words
" We do not think the President could have used
the language here attributed to him ; but, if he did,
-we feel sure that it escaped him inadvertently. The
people of these States are protesting now with all
the energy and all the means they possess, with life
and fortune and sacred honor staked on the issue,
against the Yankee theory that the Union of which
they were lately members was a Nation.' Their
belief is that that Union was, and still more clearly
and indisputably this Confederacy is, an association
of nations, a partnership of Republics, and they re
cognize no such word as nation and ' national
When applied'to that association."
We incline to the belief that the candor
'with which the Whig propounds this princi
ple of government will cost it more than
one subscriber; for, to say the least, it is the
coolest attempt we have yet seen to
denationalize the "0
-called Southern Con
federacy." And yet the theoryis not an ex
traordinary one: It is the old doctrine of
disintegration, of State sovereignty, of
which south Carolina was = the .foremost
champion, and which to-day numbers
among its warmest advocates the REEDS,
and ThnDLEs, and INGEnsoLLs, of our
State. Mr. GLADSTONE could not have
offered a greater insult to the South than he
did in affirming that it was a " great nation."
As for the Richmond Whig, however, in
combatting the theory of the centralization
of power into which Mr. DAVIS inadvertently
fell, it is guilty of the grossest plagiarism.
At least three months ago, a New York
Copperhead paper called the Daily
News, denounced our present Adminis
tration for its "attempts at centralization,"
upon the ground that a "military despot
ism" was sought to be established ; and the
News itself did not claim the issue as a new
one in American politics. More than this,
its Richmond coteruporary, not content with
plagiarism, makes that plagiarism the occa
sion of a nice bit of sophistry. It is untrue
that the people of the South have refused to
cognize the Words " nation " as applied to
tineir pseudo government. How long has it
been since a " national " conscription was
ordered by the " Confederate" government?
How long since a "national currency" was
decided upon by the same august body?
How long since Confederate M. C's waxed
eloquent upon the question of a design for a
- Confederate flag ? Nevertheless, we are con
tent to accept the argument of the Whig as
just, without any: very close scrutiny—for
it is not every species of argument that will
stand the test, as is abundantly proved in
this instance. We accept the admission
that the South is not a nation, and does not
aspire to be a nation. Upon this basis it
will be a very easy matter to re• establish our
Federal Union, when the military power of
ibe Rebellion has been destroyed, and peace
dawns upon the land.
Mr. Seward's Speech at Auburn.
The Secretary of State has not made
many speeches since he accepted a position
in the Cabinet, though there are few men
whose utterances are as welcome as his;
few, who, by reason of ability and experi
-ence, are entitled to declare the dangers and
duties of the nation. But Mr. SEWARD can
serve the people even better than through
counsel, and his responsibility as --a Cabi
net officer is sufficient reason for his usual
silence. When he does speak it is with the
influence of a man trusted by the peo
ple, who does not waste his words upon
topics of secondary importance. His
speech at Auburn, New York, has, there
fore, weight and emphasis ; it is the un
premeditated utterance of a mind which
has thoroughly studied the causes of na
tional misfortune, and perfectly understands
the methods of removing them forever.
The important truth which is the basis
of Mr. SEWARD'S argument, - which he so
repeatedly affirms and undeniably proves, is
this—J.' ABRAHAM LINCOLN must be Presi
dent of all the States by - virtue of his
-election of 1860, or not only the peace of
the Union, but the Union itself is forever
lost." Justice must reign, and this war
must enthrone it in South Carolina as
well as in Pennsylvania. The whole
country was insulted when the South
ern States refused to abide by the
decision of the country when it elected Mr.
Lirworx. Those who voted for Mr. Doti
'WAS, Or Mr. BRECMIsTRIDJE, or Mr. BELL,
were as much insulted as those who voted
for the successful candidate, for the mo
ment the decision of the people was out
'raged the question ceased to be of party,
and becamb national. -is now purely na
:tional, and the nation must decide it upon
'6lie principles which Mr. SEWARD has so
-ably set forth. We are to remember that
the Administration cannot be divorced from
the Government, and to understand that it
is only through the Administration that the
people can exert their energies in defence
of the country. "The instinct of enemies
is infallible," Mr. SEWARD shrewdly says,
and our enemies have instinctively hailed
all victories over the Administration astheir
‘ovv.u. But, after all, is the it.merifta pee,
pie to be taught by the Richmond journals
that a Copperhead success is a Union de
feat? .
We commend this noble address of our
distinguished statesman to men of all par
ties, for to all it is addressed. Its author
has recognized the loyalty of the Democra
tic masses, and, discarding party himself,
has calmly and earnestly appealed to the
people alone. To eloquence the address
makes no pretence, for the simplest state
ment of these great truths is most forcible ;
yet, Mr. SEwnito is eloquent by necessity,
and closed with a definition of that peace
desired by all loyal men, in which his
thought, because it is rooted in truth, blos
soms more purely into beauty.
General Burnside's Position.
The statement in our telegraphic column,
that East Tennessee has been cleared of
the rebels, would be highly cheering, if it
were a little better authenticated. Knowing,
as we do, that the life of the rebellion, de
pends upon the recovery of this territory
frorn our possession, we <cannot so easily
believe that it will be relinquished without
a desperate effort upon the part of General
BRAGG. A Chattanooga letter, dated Oc
tober 27, says: "It is believed hero that
BII.RNSIDE will very shortly find himself
menaced by a strong force from LEE'S ar
my, by way of Lynchburg and Bristol, Va ,
and that between the two forces his only
safety will be retreat, and the relinquish
ment of the u of East Tennessee, save
the Chattanooga corner held by the Army
of the Cumloerland."
We do not entertain a single doubt that
the rebels contemplate effecting such a pur
pose as this. They are urged to it alike by, the
voice of military necessity and by the cry of
starvation that comes up from the rebel capi
tal ; and, so far as we can judge, no other
plan of campaign now remains to their
choice. It may therefore be expected that
a combined movement of the force under
BRAGG, and a portion of that under LEE, will
speedily be made against Knoxville, if in
deed, its execution has not already com
menced ; and it may further be expected
that it will be of a most desperate and de
termined character. If these...views are col.-
rect, a forward movement of the Army of
the Potomac must become absolutely neces
sary. The situation grows decidedly inte
resting. lisw
French Fiction and Mexican Facts.
The Honiteur is the official paper of the
French Government. Established over one
hundred years ago, it has long been_ the
avowed medium through which successive
Flench rulers have communicated to the
world, openly or by inuenda, such political
views or information as they may desire to
publieitate. The first NAPOLEON used to
write in it. After . him, Louts XVIII., who
was rather a man of letters than a monarch,
frequently contributed to its columns.
Crum - Ims X. was too lazy to write even a
paragraph for it,` and his Ministers spared
Lows PlarirrrE exer-
him the trouble
deed great personal surveillance ever- the
111aviteur, scarcely a day passing without
some paragraph from his pen appearing in
it, and, while he was in or near" Paris,
proof:slips of each day's publication being
submitted to him for;correction. After the
Revolution of 1848, the actual editor of the
Monitevr, for some months, was L
TINE, then Foreign Minister. When Louts
NAPOLEON became President of the French
Republic, DE PERSIGNY virtually edited the
paper, at the Palace of the Ely see Bourbon,
where NAroLEox resided
Empire, up to this time, M. MOCQUARD;
private secretary to NA - romlorr, super
vises the ' = Moniteur, but his master, is be
lieved to dictate many of the semi-ofb.'cia
but sometimes very significant paragraphs
In fact, the ilfoniteur communicates pre
cisely what the Emperor desires to have
known, believed, or dreaded, and is there
fore a power in the land. It is very dif
ferent from the London Gazette, which is
the organ of the British-Government, con
taining official, parliamentary, and bank
ruptcy advertisements, but not one syl
lable of AWNS or politics, if we except an-
nouncements of royal births, deaths, and
marriages, or formal notices of promo-
tions, preferments, dismissals, or changes
of official appointments, and in most
of these it is generally far behind
the daily London journals. The Prime
Dlinister, it is true, generally has some
layored journal through which official
changes are first announced, or some par-
ticular policy asserted, vindicated, or de
nied. 'With Lord PALMERSTON the Globe
and the Morning Post are understood to
enjoy this confidence, which is sometimes
given to the Times also, and when Lord
DERRY was in office, the Standard and.
Morning Herald were understood to be his
especial papers; but there is no journal in
London at all in the position occupied by
the Moniteur at Paris. We do not suppose
that Queen VicaorisA ever wrote or dictated
a newspaper paragraph in her life, whereas
" the fine Italian hand" of NAPOLEON is
frequently to be seen in the Moniteur, and
his Ministers write largely.in it, under his
inspection, when occasion may seem to re
quire their inspiration.
The 2tioniteur has lately published couleur
de rose despatches from Mexico, evidently
intended to impress Europe with the 'idea
that everything has become Frenchified in
that country ; that Jrr.tauzz is utterly friend
less there ; that Mr. Lificoix• was deter
mined not to acknowledge or receive Seiior
RomErto, the ambassador from the Repub
lic ; that San Luis Potosi was eager in its
intention of recognizing the: alue- of French
intervention ; that NAPOLEON'S fete, on the
15th of * August, was celebrated by the
Mexican population with the utmost enthu
siasm ; that the voice of that population was
overpoweringly in favor of the suppression
of the Republic and the establishment of
the Monarchy ; that the Indians Nl , ere espe
cially 'desirous of seeing the Archduke
MAXIMILIAN at the head of, the new Mexi
can empire ; and that, in one word, things
were progressing so entirely in accordance
w'th French views, wishes, and interests,
that the "Golden Age might soon be expect
ed to return upon eartb, with its scene in
Mexico
The news from Mexico, received in this
country and known to be true, is very dif
ferent from the rose-tinted statements in the
Maniteur. The French are -in actual pos
session of only a very small portions of
Mexico. Though, after a campaign of
eighteen months, they penetrated from the
port of Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico,
whic;h they now occupy ; , they are unable
to attempt any further advance or conquest ;
the guerilla, bands of JUAREZ hover around
the capital ; the populatioi of the Republic,
which is about 8,500,000, has not accepted
the political change which a few traitors,
calling themselves "the Notables," and
acting under instructions from the Tuile
ries, framed as far back as October, 1.861,
have impudently proclaimed ; MAXIMILIAN
of Austria is personally neither known nor
desired in Mexico ; to maintain him on the
newly-erected throne, a French army must
permanently and powerfully occupy the
country, and-it is doubtful whether France
will allow this to be done ; finally, not only
has Senor MATIAS ROMERO returned to
Washington, as minister from the Republic
of Mexico, but he has been cordially received
by President Lrncornw, who thereby virtually ,
ignores the pretended empire which a few
traitors proclaimed, under the pressure of
French bayonets.
The Moniteur has forgotten to announce,
what other journals state as a fact, that
Frahm refuses to guarantee the loan of
$150,000,000 which it 'was intended should
be raised to give MAxrurriew a start in
Mexico as Emperor, to discharge part of
the former indebtedness of Mexico to Eu
ropean countries, and to defray the cost of
the French expedition. In consequence, it
is further stated, there is " a screw loose," in
the arrangement between NeToLnox and
MAxihrmAn, and less prospect than before
of the Austrian Prince ever reigning- in
Mexico. His acceptance of the crown was
too conditional to please NAPOLEON. Ere
long, most probably, we shall have the
,ilfrniteur Confessing that Mexico was not
quite well pleased with the prospect of a
German ruler, but was willing to accept -a
j3Ol4Ai ARTS 0r Multafx from iiArOLEON.
The rapid extent to which the petroleum
trade of the country has increased within a
few years past, lies added materially to our
national wealth, and has_ probably con
tributed more than • any • other source to
swell our national commerce. American
rockoil is now exported to almost every
quarter of the globe. Frdm the first of
January until the close of October, 1862,
there were 5,195„481 gallons . shipped from
New York alone.- For the same period this
year New York e has exported 15,503,106
gallons ; Philadelphiai• 4,208,244. gallons ;
Boston, 1, 004, 840 gallons; Baltim 0re,806,001
gallons. The increase of the New York
trs.de from over five to over fifteen million
gallons in a single year, may be taken as a
fair average of the increased shipments of
the other ports, and shows how rapidly the
traffic is being developed. In round num
bers, the total value of the exports from the
ports abOve named, from January first until
the close.of last month, will not fall short
of ten millions of dollars ; so that hereafter
petroleum is fairly entitled to rank among
the staples of the country ; •and Pennsylva
nia, which for the past three years has
yielded almost two million barrels annually,
according to the beet estimates, may claim
thglargest share of credit for having swelled
the commerce in this article to its present
dimension&
It has never been a secret that rock oil,
or Barbadoes tar, as it is sometimes called,
is indigenous, if we may use the term, to
very many counties, including the British
West Indies, which Philadelphia has, never
theless, supplied with 22,682 gallons thus
far this year: But it would seem that the
Pennsylvania and Canada wells have a mo
nopoly of the markets of the world, what
ever be ,the cause. In the Antwerp, Liver
pool, Hamburg market reports, and the case
is the same with a hundred other European
cities and towns, the price of " Pennsyl
vania crude" and " Pennsylvania refined"
is a standard quotation ; just as " the fiend
ish spirit of Abolitionism" is a favorite quo
tation with some of our Copperhead news
papers. Whether it will always be thus
we cannot say. In the course of a few
years other nations may become our rivals
in the production of petroleum. Already
we hear that' a district has been discovered
in Russia of similar formation to that of the
oil-producing region . of Pennsylvania, and
other parts of America," and a late Paris
letter states that Col. Gowaw, made famous
by clearing the harbor of Sevastopol of the
`sunken war vessels, has obtained a grant of
fifty thousand acres from the Russian Go
vernment, which he is about to "prospect"
for oil, being now en route for this country
to obtain the necessary machinery. A gain,
we are informed that mineral oil has been
discovered at Gaspe, a thriving part of Ca
nada East, where its existence was indicated
fully twenty years ago in the geological re
ports of that section. The well is a flowing
one, and the oil "of a pale greenish-brown
color, and, even in its crude state, less offen
sive than some of the refined oil of Ennis
killen." But notwithstanding these disco
veries, and others that we cannot now recall
to mind; we do not much fear that our com
merce in petroleum will ever suffer from
foreign competition. If the trade should
ever fall off, it will only be when the wells
have become exhausted ; and, from the enor
mously-increased yield of the past year, it is
safe to infer that the possibility of such a
result is yet very remote.
ONE of the Copperhead papers devotes a
half column of editorial ethics to the ex
planation of the late election& " Why we
were defeated" is the tune it sings to. So
many words and sentences might have been
dispensed with. The elucidation needs but
few. Why were you dofeated, quotha ?
Divide the dividend of loyalty by the divi
sor of disloyalty, and the quotient will be
the answer. Copperheadism has been de
feated because it is Copperheadism. Why
were Satan and his cohorts compelled to
break acquaintance with., the angels of
Heaven? or why did Adam and Eve quit
Paradise at short notice ? The Copperheads
have sinned in the sight of the whole world,
and it is just that, in the sight of the whole
world, such base defection should be signal
ly rebuked. Along the turbulent stream of
time, our ships of State, forming the arma
ment of the nation, shall sail secure, not to
be stranded in the shoals of Copperheadism,
not to be caught and held to destruction by
its insidious snags In our Union we have
erected an edifice which no power on this
earth can destroy. The sacreligious hands
of traitors may be the first to attempt it.
The rains may descend, and the floods may
come, and the winds may blow and beat
upon that house, but it shall not fall. It is
founded upon a rock.

Treatment of Our Prisoners at Richmond.
•
Mr. BOHAN" who was captured in the vicinity
of Occoquan last Christmas, and lately returned to
his home in Alexandria, has, among other things,
informed the Journal that Castle Thunder is the
only prison in Richmond where prisoners are al
lowed to purchase anything. Shortly after the bat
tle of Chickamauga, about two hundred wounded
pricOnms arrived at Richmond from the field. TheY
were almost all in a fandshing and -starving condi
,
Ron ; being three days on the road between the two
points, and all they had to eat during that time
was four hard crackers each. On their arrival at
Richmond, they were taken to the Libby Prison,
where they laid two days longer without having ,
their wounds dressed, and during all of which time
they were not given -a mouthful : to eat. Some of
them who were fortunate enough'to have a little
money offered as high , as five dollars for a loaf of
bread, but the officers in charge would not let it be
carried to them. -Sir. BOHANA.IT left Richmond on
the flag-of-truce boat in company with about tyro
hundred other Union prisoners. When the vessel
neared Drury's Bluff, the prisoners were made to
lie flat down on the deck of the boat, and a special
guard was placed over them, that they might be pre
vented from seeing the fortification&
One of the most reliable detectives in the Govern
ment service, at Alexandria, states that a large num
ber of persons belonging to the rebel army are now

These men are mostly residents in these counties,

THU sarcums OF EAST SENNESSIIIII.
Worrestondenee of the N. Y. Times.
I em told by the best informed citizens here and
at Jasper, ten miles above, that we' are virtually in
poeseesion LOW of the only coal mines on whloh the
rebels have depended to supply their important
foundries, and shops at Rome and Atlanta. At
Tracy City, Tenn., in the Cumberland Mountains, a
abort distance from the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad, in the Raocooa Mountains, Ga., three or
four miles from Sbellmound Station, on the came
railroad, and again in the Cumberland Mountains,
on the north aide of the Tennessee, and not far
above Chattanooga, are the only mines worked by
the rebels for coal, previous to our occupation of
East Tennessee.
The mints in the Raccoon Mountains are of large
extent, and ale connected by a railway track down
to Shellmound Station, the first station east of
Bridgeport. They are known as the Gordon mines,
but as the Gordons failed some time ago, they were
purchased by the rebel Government, and have been
latterly worked on Government account. Severed
thousand bushels of coal now lie at the mines, ready
for use. We will use it. In the mountain, near the
station, is also an immense cave, known as Moira
jack Cave, containing very large supplies of nitre,
which has been extensively used by the rebe s, they
obtaining most of their saltpetre in this- region.
The cave is a great natural curiosity, and is scarcely
lees interesting than the Mammoth. Cave of Ken
tucky. It has been explored for three miles, and
through it runs Nickajack creek, a stream upon
willed" you can launch a "dug•out," and with a
glaring torch pursue your winding way, and inspect
ilightiul chasms, dismal caverns, and all the won
ders and terrors of nature's inward commotion to
your hearVe content.
Bragg is said to have remarked that the loss of
these coal and nitre works was a greater blow to the
rebel army than the loss of a battle. If we may
believe the assertions of people here, relative to the
condition of rebel resources further South, then the
loss is really of vast importance to the enemy.
THE OAPTURIE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN . .
This movement completely opens communication
both by river and rail, and is hailed with much
joy. Wagon train' and pauk•mules can now have
a rest. The railroad will not be in full operation for
a couple of weeks yet, in consequence of the un
finished state of two very important bridges, the one
over the Tennessee at Bridgeport, and one over
"Running Waters," a small but rapid stream which
runs through a ceep valley or ravine, rendering a
bridge one hundred and twenty feet high-necessary,
though of but three short spans. The military wilt
soon construct this, however, as they already have
that over I , fickajack creek, at Sheilmound. But the
important bridge over the Tennessee which was
commenced sixty days ago, under a contract to 'be
finished in forty days, is not yet half done; and
unless more vigor is put into the work, will not be
for forty days more.
BILVS.RE FIGHT EAST TENTMEISIZE.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, under

Next day General Sanders advanced and drove the
enemy four miles. They charged on this advance,
the Bth Michigan and 112th Illinois, driving them
back, Sanders advancing steadily. The fight lasted
all day. Our loss was four killed and forty-five
wounded. Major Owens was captured, and Captain
Stanley wounded. Lieut. .Tones, of the 45th, was
killed; Captain Buck and Lieut. Clark, of the Bth
Michigan, were wounded; Capt. Martin, of the 11th
Kentucky, was wounded. Our loss during the three
days was four hundred and :eighty-three killed,
wounded; and missing. The rebel loss was over six
hundred.
A detachment, under Colonel Pennebaker, had an
engagement south - of the river, near Marysville,
with 600 rebels, and drove them back with a loss of
1 killed and 1 wounded. The rebels had 20 killed, 48
wounded, and 6 captured.
A fight occurred at Ashville' between the new tat
North Carolina and 600 rebels. The recruits behaved
splendidly, punishing the rebels Severely, and got
off with two killed and six wounded. A train escort
punished a guerilla party of eighty near Tazewell
on Friday. Although' uniformly successful at all
points, you perceive the occupation of East Ten
nessee is not altogether so pleasant. Matters above
remain quiet
JEFFERSON DAVIS IN THE SOUTHWEST
SPEECH AT . MOBILE.
Mora the Mobile Register.]
The shortness of the notice caused the turnout of
the local forces to be less thin it would otherwise
have been, notwithstanding there was a larger, force
in line than has been seen an any former occasion.
These impromptu reviews are beginning to have the
effect of transforming the city companies into
minute-men, and they already answer the call for
their appearance under arms much more promptly
than would have been expected. Though the hour
of three o'clock was named for the review, the de
lay caused by waiting for the arrival of some of the
more distantly-posted regiments, made it almost
sunset before the parade closed.
After the parade was diemiesed, Royal street was
filled with the brigades returning to their respective
quarters,and about the Battle House, the balcony
and corridors of which were tilled with ladies, a
dense mass was packed, impeding the march of the
troops. Loud and repeated cheers and calls for the
President were, made, in response to which he made
his appearance on the balcony, and addressed the
soldiers and citizens in an off hand speech. He con
gratulated the people upon the fact, which he assured
them he felt to be the fact, that our cause is now in
:a better condition than it was a year ago. Having
just come from the scene of the great battle of Chicka
mauga, it was impossible that he should not refer to
that, and though- - it-could not-be expected - that he
should allude to contemplated movements, yet he,
was happy to say thatthe brave victors of that bloody
field stood ready and anxious to strike the blow
which should secure the complete fruits of their glo
rious victory. He could say more—that he believed
they. would strike that blow, and that Rosecrans'
unwieldy legions would be destroyed or driven for
refuge to the Ohio.
The same spirit animated our armies elsewhere,
and all they needed was to be properly seconded by
the people at home to send the hordes of Yankees
back to their beloved Boston, or any other place
from which their return might be more difficult. He
saw before him a Texan regiment. Those thinned
ranks reminded him too plainly of their situation,
cut off from the homee to which they should look for
recruits, and of their deadly conflicts upon many a
field whet e they had fought as Texans always fight.
He exhorted them to be of good cheer. Such deeds
as these are never in vain, and would surely secure
to the country the estimable prize for which they are
contending, and to themselves undying honor and
renown. There, too, w ere Alabamians who, he felt
sure, were worthy the name which had been immor
talized on go many battle fields in Virginia, Ten
nessee, and Mississippi. And here he referred to the
youthful coloabearer at Chickamauga, who planted
within the - ,enemy's barricades his regimental flag,
pierced with eighty-nine bullets, and its staff shat
tered. The President had the pleasure of promoting
him for his gallant conduct, and such was his mce
decay, that in presenting hie flag to the President,
he appeared unconscious of having performed any
thing extraordinary.
The citizen soldiery, also, he believed, were emu
lous of the reputation of their brethren in the camp.
He had been much moved, as he rode along thelines,
at seeing among them young boys—some very
young—and men whose heads were silvered with the
frosts of many winters. He could remind all these,
regulars and others, that they are not common so],
diem They present a spectacle which the world
has never witnessed—the best population of the
country poured into the army. Such men may be
appealed to from other incentives than that of rigid
military discipline. The times, the cause, all con
siderationa require efforts which may be demanded
of an army of heroes, for such they are. Besides
-these, there are some too old to bear arms, but they,
too, can do something. Let them contribute their
means to the support and relief of those who are
contributing their blood; and let those who are too
poor for this, contribute their influence. There Is
something that all can`do. Self must be entirely
forgotten; and let those who are deaf to any other
-appeal remember that he who is hoarding.up wealth
in such a time as this is hoarding up infamy, the
mark of which he and his posterity must bear who
shall have grown rich by this war, .
''JEFF DAVIS' SPERM TO TRH TROOPS AT. MISSIONA
RY RIDGE.
He began by paying a warm tribute to their gal
lantry displayed on the bloody field of Chickamauga,
defeating -the largely superior force of the enemy,
who had boasted of their ability to penetrate the
heart of Geetgia, and driving them like sheep into a
pen, and protected by strong entrenchments, from
which naught but an indisposition to sacrifice unne
cessarily the precious lives of our brave and Pa
triotic soldiers prevented us from driving them.
But, he 'said, they had given still higher evidence of
their courage, patriotism, and resolute determina
tion to live freemen or die freemen, by their patient
endurance and buoyant, cheerful spirits, amid pri
vations and sufferings from _half rations, thin
,
blankets ragged clothes, and shoeless feet, than
given by baring their breasts to the enemy.
lie reminded them that obedience was the first
duty of a soldier, remarking that when he was a
youth a veteran officer said to him : "My eon, re
member that obedience is the eoldier'a first duty. If
your commanding officer orders you to burn your
neighbor's hause down, and to sit on the ridge pole
till it falls in, do it." The President said, this is an
exaggerated statement of duty, but prompt, unques
tioning obedience of subordinates to their superiors
could not be too highly commended. lithe subordi
nate stops to consider the propriety of an order, the
delay may derange the superior's whole plan, and
the opportune moment for achieving a success, or
averting a defeat, may be irretrievably lost.
He alluded to the boast of our enemy, that, on the
occupation of East Tennessee, they would heavily
recruit their army, and subjugate us with the aid of
our own people ; but the boast has not been ful
filled. He said the proper course to pursue toward
the misguided people of East Tennessee was not to
deride and abuse them, but to employ reason and
Conciliation to disabuse them of their error ; that all
of us had once loved and revered the old flag of the
Union ; that be had fought under its folds, and, for
'fifteen years, bad striven to maintain the Constitu
tion 01 our fathers in its purity, but in vain. It
could not be saved from the grasping ambition for
power and greed of gain of the Yankees, and he had
to relinquish it. The error of the misguided among
us was that they clung longer than we do to what
Was once a common sentiment and feeling of us all,
and, he repeated, they must be reasoned with and
conciliated.
In closing, he expressed his deep conviction of our
eventual success under the blessing of Providence,
and expected the Army of Tennessee, when they
should resume active operations, not to pause on
the bank of the Cumberland, but to plant our ban
ners permanently on the banks of the Ohio. This,
he believed, would be done. As the bumble repre
sentative of the people. he returned their grateful
'thanks to the Army of Tennessee for what they had
already accomplished, and fervently invoked the
blessing of- Almighty God upon all officers and men
composing it.
SPEECH OF GENERAL BRAGG.
General Bragg was then lustily called for and re•
sponded briefly and pointedly as follows :
• MY BROTHER SOLDIERS : It WOUld be presume

The Daily News says that "while the Confederates
are unable to dislodge Rosecrans, Lee's movements
are so inconsistent with ordinary principles as to
baffle all attempts at explanation. Meade had no
thing to gain by delivering a battle in the centre of
Virginia, and wisely declined to challenge his oppo

doubt be will be ready to receive him."
The Times says that
" The last blow is yet to be gtruclt, and the Fede
rate will have extraordinary good fortune if the third
battle on the scene of two defeats reverses the asso

Rim." -
The Times thinks that Rosecrans Will have to ca

Bos'row, Nov. 6 —The schooner Camilla, from St.
Johns, N. F., brings passengers, Hoxie, the second
mate, and six seamen of the whaling brig Payilion.
The Pavilion Railed from Fair Haven on June 16th
with a clew of 21 men.
On August 4th, near the Islands of the Gods of
Mercy, the brig was crushed by the tee; and filled
with water.
The crew got out the boats, three in number, and
landed provisions on the rock, remaining there
eleven days.
On the 27th they started in the boats and landed
on Resolution Islands, where they remained ten
days, when they again started and attempted to
Cross Hudson's straits, but a heavy gale separated
the boats, and the third mate's boat, with six sea
men, is supposed to have foundered.
On the Bth of September Hoiden boat landed on
the coast of Labrador, but, not finding any inhabi
tants, they started the next day, and followed the
coast until the 25th, when they fell in with the Bri
tish bark Ocean Nymph, from London for Hudson's
Bay, who . took them on board.
On October 3d the Ocean Nymph fell in with the
captain's boat, and landed both boats' crews at St.
John's. N. F., on October 7th. During the long pas
sage in the boats, their only food was ship-bread
soaked in salt water, and a- little pork. Their suf
ferings were ;very great, as the weather was in
tensely cold. Quite a number rn of the men had their
fingers and toes frozen.
Captain Handy and the remainder of the crew
were left at St. John's until a vessel should leave
for Boston.

Books and Authors.
The American Publishers' Circular and Literary Ga
zelle, published by a. W. Childs, of Philadelphia,
commenced its second half-yearly volume last Mon
day, and will be known in future as the American
Literary Gazette, a title which it well deserves, from
the variety and fulness of its European correspon
dence, and the great quantity of information about
books and authors which it communicates.
Dir. Willis P. Hazard, who has long been at the
bead of one ofthe best supplied book-stores in Chest
nut street, has sold his retail business to Messrs.
Ashmead &Evans, and, it is said, will devote him.
self to publication. Mr. Ashmead is eon of one of
the oldest printers-in the city, and Mr. Evans has
had twelve years' experience in the trade, having
been connected with Martlen'e,Comperthwait's, and,
more recently, Superintendent of the Presbyterian
Publishing House.
Meters. J. B. Lippincott & Co. have published a
small volume, with an excellent map, showing, the
relative position of the sombatanta, entitled" Notes
on the Rebel Invasion of Maryland and Pennsylva
nia, and the Battle of Gettysburg, July tat, 2d, and

Prescott, the historian, Mr. Kirk, has here taken
up a subject which, properly treated, will plan him,
among American writers, by the side of Prescott,
Bancroft, Sparks, and Mottey. lYlessrs. Lippiacott
will publish it:in two volumes, Bvo., with a portrait.
Charles the Bold was contemporary with Edward
IV., of England, and Louis JCL, of France, and the
Low Countries lapsed into the possession of •Maii.-

Burgundy, daughter of Duke Charles.
Messrs. Lippincott have forwarded to the President
a splendidly bound copy of the "Annals of the
Army of the Cumberland," by Judge Fitah, which
they have recently published. The volume (pp. 671
octavo) is beautifully printed and profusely illus
trated. The copy in question is bound in Magenta
morocco ; has the emblems of war impressed in gold
on the edge and one corner, and on the other is an
inscription, also in gold, to the intended recipient of
the volume, by the author and his fellow-officers of
the Army of the Cumberland. The binding, which
is extremely neat, was executed by Messrs. Lippin
cott's own workmen, who, in a manner, are opera
tive artists.
T. P. Peterson & Brothers, who have just issued
"The Lost Bank Note' , and two other of Dirs. H.
Wood's abort stories, in an octavo volume of unu•
Dually large type, have in the press a new work of
fiction by Para. Southworth. They have just pub-
lished a new edition of " The Law and Practice of
Euchre," which is entitled to be accepted as authori
ty on the game, "though the author has weakened
what he says by frequent and miserable attempts to
be facetious as well as scientific.
Mr. Ct. W. Childs has in the press an octavo
volume, by B. F. Morris, entitled "Christian Life
and Character of the Civil •Institutions of the
'United States, developed In the Official and His
torical Annals of the Republic." Mr. Childs' juve
nile books for the season will be the Rollo and Lucy
Books of Poetry, in three volumes, illustrated with
many fine engravings froin good original drawings.
These books will contain a selection of poetry for
children of all ages, compiled by Jacob Abbott.
The "National Almanac and Annual Record for
1864" is in hand, and will be published before
Christmas. It is principally edited, we believe, by.
Mr. W. V. McKeon.
Sheldon and Company, of New York, who have
removed from Nassau street to Broadway, have ,
lately published two novels of more than ordinary.
merit. " Peter °anodize," by Caroline Cheese
bro', is a domestic story, of a religious turn, with
out much incident, but with the various characters
- clearly and delicately distinguished and developed.
The other book, called " Broken Columns," is a
more ambitious and inferior attempt, though un
doubtedly written by an able pen. Oddly enough,
ore has to get far into the story ere he can discover
that the scene and personages are English. The plot
is complicated and the narrative too much spun out
at times: On the whole, it is a readable, second-class
novel, which one Peter Bayne say; in hisjudgment,
is "superior to Adam Bede." Sheldon cc Co. an
nounce a quarto edition, illustrated by Harley and
Hows, of Dickens' Christmas Stories; also, " Bleak
House," in four volumes, and "Sketches by Bos,"
in two. This will complete their Household Edition
of Dickens, in forty-six volumes. They prondse new

Public Entertainments.
GERMAIN OPEAA.—Perhaps the most popular of
the new operas presented by Mr. Anschutz, laser win
ter, was A Night in Grenada," by Rreatzer. It
was certainly not the beet, though its manic is very
charming. Its melodies are those that every one
can appreciate and love, and gratify at once the
mere love: of music and the musician. The story'
of the opeta is very pretty ; Areutzer haa interpre
ted it with a delightful simplicity and sweetness.
When it was sung last year, Madame Rotter was
very popular as Gabrielle, but owing to the im
perfectione of other artists, the full beauty of the
music was not displayed. "A. night in Grenada''
needs a first class baritone, and Mr.:Hartmann
brought to the music but an ordinary voice and me
thod. To the Huntsman is given the finest music;
it is the great rble of the opera, - and we have reason
to believe that Herr Steinecke, who will make his
first appearance tonight, will prove to be one of the
finest baritones who has visited this country.
His voice is said to be full, strong, and
sonorous, of unusual range and flexibility,
and his method that of -a true artist. It is
said that it was the intention of the management
to reserve him as the novelty for the season in New
Yolk, but we have no reason to believe that either
Mr. Anschutz or Mr. Birgefld would consent to any
arrangement of the kind. We shall be much disap•
pointed if Steinecke does not justify his reputation,
and the public may reasonably expect from hint a
performance of a very high order. Mademoiselle
Can/181% will sing the part of Gabrielle with much
sweetness and grace. Herr liabelmann will also
appear.
We must again thanir. Mr. Ansobutz for an orches
tra that is beyond rivalry. All the operas he will
produce will have the benefit of a perfect instrumen
tal performance, and when the music of Beethoven,
especially, Mozart and Weber, is given, this advan
tage cannot be,overrated.
On Monday night the greatest of operas, ','Fidelio,"
will be sung, with a very strong cast, including both
the tenors of the company.
THE CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.—WO are sorry
to say that this is positively the last week of 51 , 11 e
Vestvali's performance in Philadelphia. Her de
parture will be generally regretted, since the com
paratively short time she will have t been with us Will
hardly have furnished sufficient opportunity either
for the remarkable variety of her talents, or for the
'entertainment of all who desire to see and hear this
highly attractive lady and artist. The few nights
that remain, however, will compensate as far as
possible for the prospective loss, and soma of the
highest qualities of Vestvali may be witnessed on
this and to• morrow evening.
Though not thoroughly adapted to the best ideas
of our stage, Yestvali has an individual charm and
power which always renders here performance im
pressive. Her singing is quite as powerful and
more brilliant than her acting;: and there- is doubt
less much pleasure for those who will hear her this
evening in BellinPs "Romeo and Juliet.
Miss Mary,Provost, who last season performed so
profitable an: engagement in this city, will appear
next Monday evening at the Walnut-street Theatre.
She has many admirers who will be glad to. re-wel
come her.

Susqueluanna Canal Company.
[PACTS FROM THE. Csofdrattre BRPORT.]
The Annual. Report of the Susquehanna Canal
Company, for the year 1862, gives the total earnings
for the year. $1.77,000.
Instead of the earnings of 1863 showing an increase
of 60 per cent, per week over those of 1862, the pub
lished returns up to the Ist of November only Dhow
an increase of 16 per cent., making the total earnings
for 1863, at the same rate of increase, about $244,000,
The expenses in 1862, were $35,000, owing to the in-
creased cost of labor and materials, involving full 26
per cent. increase. The expenses for 1863 may fairly
be Bet down at $44,066, giving a net increase of only
$lB,OOO this year.
On the Ist day of January, 1863, the State of Karr
land had claims for unpaid intermit of $148,000.
The interest due and unpaid on bonds pilor to 1866,
was $19,000.
The interest due and unpaid on suspended debt
was $193,000.
The amount of scrip lamed and unpaid was $33,000.
Tbe total amount of interest unpaid on the iscday,
of January, 1863, was, therefore, $393 000, none of
which (Co far as is known) has been paid this year :
and in addition to this already over.bovering debt,
this year's interest will increase the burden.
Admitting that the Canal Company will have an
increase of $20,000 this year, what a small propor
tion will it bear to the amount of their liabilities!
The report states that therewas a balance to the
hands of the treasurer of $86,000, but $53,600 of that
amount came.frorn 1861, anti the policy of any com
pany may well be questioned when they admit hav
ing such an amount of cash on hand, at the same
time exhibiting such an array of unpaid bills, aerip,
intert at, &c.
Admitting all the past interest, scrip, and unset
tled accounts Lto be funded, they would then be
oubject
To an interest of B per cent. on $1,060,000=880,090
And say only 6 per cent. on 1;712,000=102;TM
Making a total interest per annum.... SIBS,T2O
With the iecreased business of 1663, giving a total
of receipts $204,000, and deducting the estimated ex
penses, $44,000, there 'would/ only be a balance of
$160,000 to pay above $133,000.
Why, then, should the question he asked, " What
is to prevent er dividend being declaredl"
From the foregoing it must be admitted that a
dividend is impossible, with the present state of their
buninees ; and granting an increased trade Ia the
future, no allowance has been made in their maculae
tionn for extraordinefy expenses, tkatare as likely to
arise hereafter, such as the Susquenanna Canal hae
experienced in the past.
It is not in the leelt degree probable that the
State of Maryland will agree to fund hat $146,000 of
unpaid interest, while the company admit haring a
balance of cash on hand of $86,000.
