SATURDAY, NOVEMBER '7, 1863
THE WoIR.
En.ose every operating army in the field we have
intelligence of nativity, advance, or. preparation.
The centre of public interest is still with the Grand
Division of the Mississippi. Gen. Grant is already
developing a plan Of operations which is as grand
in conception as we may hope it will prove in its
insults. It is plain that to drive the rebels from
their present 'strong position in the mountains of
Georgia would require the sacrifice of an army
much larger than that of Gen. Thomas. To moss
these mountains and attack Gen. Bragg in flank
and rear, or threatening such an attack, will cause
a speedy evacuation of Lookout, and perhaps many
other mountaina. Selecting Atlanta as the point of
'concentration for a heavy pitched battle, Gen.
'Grant is moving forward the two wings of
Ala grand army, with a view of closing down on
either flank of the rebel army of Tennerete, now
near Chattanooga, It is manifestly proper, how
ever, that the first and main advance should be
made eastward by the Army 01 the tennessee, r under
Major General Sherman. As a preliminary move
.ment, General McPherson has advanced already to
Tuneable, and General Sherman's remaining corps
.060 , 2226 e, under Generals Hurlbut and Logan, are
rapidly moving up to the support of the gallant
McPherson. This army is competent to do
the work—namely, to compel General Bragg
to retire east of the mountains by a rapid
:and determined movement through the State of
Alabama, from which the rebels hre drawing most of
their provender, and many men. In this advance
the only important railway communications held by
the rebels in the Cotton States will fall into out pos.
session. While this movement is entirely prutin
ble, and may be executed during the present month,
an advance of the Army of the Ohio, under Gene.
nal Burnside, reinforced by the loyal East Ten.
amens, can be made East or South with ad
vantage. Owing to the admirable position of
this army it is the one which the rebels
most fear, and wish to destroy, as we learn
from the Southern journals. The enemy might hope
for the accomplishment of this design, could he per
suade himself of the utility of concentrating his
,entire forces in Northern Georgia, and the abandon
ment of Virginia ; and in doing this he would incur
, -is sturdy pursuit from the Army of the' Potomac.
We look for great events, now that Sherman is in
motion, and we ,ball be disappointed if Burnside
and Hooker do not soon show how great an interest
Ma been delegated to them
- in this gigantic care-

THE NEWS.
Tart great Pacific Railroad has.been opened, and
is now being used from St. Paul to Manomin.
Beam guerilles are becoming troublesome on the
Illississippi river again, below Vicksburg. The
steamers Adriatic and City of Pekin were recently
favored with rifle volleys from hands of rebels
secreted along shore. - •
Tux number of Union commissioned officers con.'
fined in the Richmond prisons now is nine hundred
and sixty-four, viz : one brigadier , general (Neal
Dow), fourteen colonels, twenty five lieutenant
.eokonels, twenty-seven surgeons, fif•y-three assist
ant surgeons, twentyeight majors, two hundred and
forty-six captains, two hundred and sixty-four drat
lieutenants, two hundred and ninetyseven second
lieutenants, anti nine naval offices. A majority of
•the officers are from the Weitern armies, many of
them having been captured at Chickamauga.
Tim rebels south- of the Tennessee are making
special efforts to equip and send Wheeler again
upon the rear of the Army of the (Jumbo rland. Re
ports item Shelbyville and Columbia are, that the
rebel forces scattered by General Orook are being
reorganized, to make another effort to cut off army
tsupplies.
, GEN. GARFIELD, of Ohio, has been commissioned
a major general. This is a deserved promotion.
He was elected to Congress last year, but the Presi
dent desires him to remain in the field, and he will
doubtless do so. No fears need be entertained as to
the character of his successor. His district is Union
by at least 10,030 majority.
A PRIVATE DESPATCH from Washington says it
is mem stood to be settled that Major Gen. Buell is
to re Gen. Grant's new chief of staff.
TEE St. Louie Union says at the present time
there is not a single organized force of twenty gue
villas or bkshwhathers to be found in Missouri," and
.concludes therefrom that the conservative pelicy of
Gov. Gamble and Geo,, Schofield ham resulted in sub
stantial benefits, and done more to secure, domestic
tranquility than a more radical policy could possibly
have done.
Tun report that General Hooker drove the rebels
from their position at Lookout MOuntain is untrue.
The enemy was driver( from the line of the Tanned
see river, west of Chattanooga, and also from Rac
coon Mountain and the valley east of that ridge.
By tbil - movement, the river has been opened to
navigation, and a strong and important position oc
cupied, from which General Hooker hopes to strike
the enemy in his flank at Lookout Mountain. The
enemy hold Lookout Mountain, and have live heavy
guns there. The distance from their battery to the
trowno three miles, and the heignt above the town
is over two thousand feet. Their shells reach
the town, but without any accuracy of range, and,
so far, their firing has had little effect.. It is enough,
however, to make them disagreeable neighbors for
permanency. To dislodge them will require a de
four to their rear, similar to that by whim Rosecrans
caused the evacuation of Chattanooga This, of
course, can only be made by a force large enough to
stand a general engagement. All of-this showe the
requisites for holding Chattanooga, and confirms
the skill of the movements by which it was taken.
Gov. ANDRRW'S majority in Massachusetts will
reach 40,000 votes. General Butler voted for him
and the entire Union State ticket in Lowell on
Tuesday last.
Miss JOSRPHINE GRANT, a sister of the general,
was married recently in Covington, Ky., to a Me
thodist minister.
THE chief of police of Cincinnati is said to have
discovered a conspiracy to burn that city. The first
intimation be received was through a letter which
was taken out of the post office by mistake, opened
and read. The plan of conspiracy was to divide
the city into four sections and set lire to each
Alimultaneously.
SUBSTITIPTE swindlers are at work in Ohio.
They induce newly - -enlisted volunteers to desert,
paying them lone hundred dollars and upward, and
then bring them to Albany, New York, and other
places in the East, where they sell them as substi
tutes for four hundred dollars - or more. A fellow
engaged in this infamous business has just been ar
rested at Cleveland.
The Diplomacy or Slavery.
Had the rebellion in the South been a
stluggle for freedom against Northern ty
ranny, '1 is possible that its diplomatists
would haveibeen even leis successful. With
the moral absurdity, not to say crime, of
slavery and rebellion—the monstrous theory
of so-called free government, which takes
slavery for its corner-stone, and makes dis
union its principle of union—they have for
some time managed, assisted by military suc
cess, and a system of industrious and unscru
pulous propagandism, to keep a strong front
befotre Europe. The cause is simple. Despo
tism in the new world appeals to despotism in
the old. To secure his own usurpation, NA
4LOLEOIT patronizes the American usurpation.
Political bondage in France responds to Ame
rican slavery. The great, free power of the
North in sympathy with freedom in Europe
holds NAPOLEON in check, but nothing more.
He has not recognized the South, but he is
crushing the Republic in Mexico ; and so far,
at least, the South and the Emperor under
stand each other. But NAPOLEON is for him
self alone, and the possession of Mexico is as
much a menace to. Southern visions of em
pire and independence as it is intended to be
to the cause of Union and freedom in Ameri
ca. It is remarkable, also, that NAPOLEON'S
pretexts for conquests are as absurd and
:false as the excuses of the South for rebel
lion.
Even Europe, however, demands some
better show of right than NAROLEOX or
The South has presented. The Archduke
asks for guarantees of his throne, and the
people' inquire, what is the cause and what
is the use of taking Mexico ? The South
are as much puziled to answer the common
sense question—What reason or right exists
for making War to establish slavery ? All
the Confederate agents are in a quandary.
Having made war for independence against
every principle of independence, to become
a lackey at the doors of the Emperor, a
hicaner in the courts, and a beggar in the
market—the South is a meaner picture in
Europe than the slaveholder's coarsest cari
cature of " Yankee meanness." The atti
tude of its diplomatists is arrogant, but
their offerings are vile. Their first propo
sition is ridiculous—to fight for slavery to
secure freedom ; the second is humble and
rhypoeritic, and just as absurd—to promise
freedom to secure despotism for the mo
ment. In accordance with these premises,
most of the Confederate agents in Europe
are Abolitionists. What excuse can there
be for Copperheads?
The general absurdity of the Southern
'theory is readily seen ; but it must require
long patience to unravel the whole tissue of
its manifold falsehood. Gigantic error and
mime may exert for a time, over certain
minds, the force of a great cause.' Europe
has been for awhile tricked with theore
.terice that the South were oppresied; and
. was amazed at their military success.,
.Many were ' almost ready to think that the
natural progress of civilization was back
ward, because wrong was more successful
than right. The situation is changed ; the
evil is . growing Smaller, and the good all the
greater. The latest resort of Southern
diplomacy shows its final weakness.
Srmen cannot undertake the cause, with
out promising abolition in time ; and even
the inveterate slave-trader LAMAR must let
fall a crumb of comfort to the moral senti
ment of his British sympathizers. It is;
of course, well understood that these
gentlemen do not mean what they say;
that the slave will be still whipped, tor
tured, and brutalized, through genera
tions; that if the South is not fighting for
its institution of slavery, it is fighting for
nothing at all : but it must promise every
thing to secure slavery. When JRAPEREION .
DAvis becomes an Abolitionist he becomes
a Yankee ; and in that case, what reason ex
ists, according to his own theory, for the
separation of the South and North ?
However,viewed, the cause of the South
is a complex ahsurdity. Its recent attitude
in Europe, as an agency for emancipation,
is so extremely absurd that we are not sue
prised at the report that JEFFERSON DAVIS
had directed SLIDELL to offer no more con
cessions on the subject of slavery. This is
the manlier plan, but it is quite as dangerous
as the other. Slavery and emancipation are
alike the ruin of the Southern cause, and
there is no safety except in the Union.
Russia and the Great Powers.
Although Lord RUSSELL has publicly de
clared that Russia has forfeited all claim to
Poland, by not carrying out all the require
ments of the treaty of Vienna in 1815, he
has just as publicly pledged himself to the
world in general, and to the Czar in particu
lar, that England shall not enter into hos
tilities against Russia, under almost any
circumstances. NAPOLEON, we dare say,
cares as little for Poland as his uncle 'did,
but he wants to have his vast , army em
ployed, he has a score t(settle with Russia
on account of the defeat of the invading
French forces in 1812, and he may hope,
out of a - war, to obtain an accession of terri
tory, as under the first Empire, by getting
the Rhine fixed as the boundary of France.
On the other hand, it is scarcely probable
that Austria, a participant in the partition
of Poland and a recipient of part of the spOil,
will take up arms against the Czar, on be
half of, the Poles. Prussia, which also an
nexed a portion of the stolen country, will
certainly side with Russia, If Austria
should take arms in this crisis, she may
expect a Russian occupation. of Galicia
and of Cracow. Thus, the only great
Power at all in a situation now. to war
with Russia is France, and it is very ques
tionable whether NAronnon . , who is bold
but not rash, will enter into such a contest.
We need scarcely say that, under any cir
cumstances, the United States will not be
found opposed to Russia,—a country whoSe
sympathy and friendship have been con
stantly and consistently manifested towards
us. Every thing tends tor:confirm the belief
that there will not soon be an European
war, arising out of the relations between
the Czar and his Polish subjects. England,
Austria, and France have been pelting the
Czar with those "paper` pellets of the brain"
called protocols ; but not one of these great
Powers has gone to the length of declaring,
even after the Poles have held their ground
for ten months, that the said Poles are "bel
ligerents." Contrast this with the indecent
alacrity with which England and France
recognized, as "belligerents," the so-called
Southern Confederation, almost before it
had fired a shot, (except at Fort Sumpter,)
and certainly before it had a single war
vessel at sea.
Maryland.
The result of the Maryland elections is
doubly gratifying. In the first place, the
people have declared the State uncondition
ally for the Union ; secondly, they have de
clared that slavery shall cease within its
limits. No one doubted the loyalty of Mary
land. That was made evident long since ;
but the 'wisdom of the people in accepting
the great truth of the war, that loyalty and
slavery cannot continue to co-exist, was not
hitherto assured. The issue of the canvass
was enaphatically between Slavery and Free
dom, and it has been emphatically decided
for Freedom. Maryland is no longer a
Southern State ; virtually, .she belongs to
the free North, and henceforth it is not a
black line that divides her from Pennsylva
nia. All her interests, moral and material,
will be advanced by the destruction of
slavery, determined by a decisive majority
on the memorable sth of November.
The assertion that the proclamation of
emancipation would alienate the people of
the border States is proved false by this
result. The influence of that proclamation
is also evident, and the wisdom of the anti
slavery policy of the Government is fully
vindicated. " The bull against the comet"
has hot annihilated the fiery portent of war
and desolation, but it has changed its
course. APIs not the United States that is
in danger of destruction by slavery, but
slavery that is threatened by the United
States. We see now that the proclamation
did. not appeal to the worst spirit of the
colored race, and cause a bloody insurrec
tion, but that it appealed to the intelligence
of the white race, and has peacefully re
sulted in the redemption of entire States,
and the strengthening of the bonds of the
Union.
Fernando Wood and Others.
Mr. FERNANDO WOOD, as the oracle first
and last of the Copperhead party in New
York, has again declarea. himself. At the
end of every disaster to his party, every, good
fortune to his country, we hear this croak
ing, bitter, and impotent voice—the evil
genius of the party which he .has ruined in
the attempt to ruin his country. We are
not surprised that the Union victory in the
recent elections has irritated Mr. WOOD into
an expression of his real character and
weakness ; and from his Utterance we may
fairly judge the feeling of his party.' A no
toriously dishonest judge is elected, and a
shout of triumph goes up among the Mo
zartists ; a State is carried for the Union,
and all the tongues of this Demonocracy are
hissing. Mr. WOOD speaks more bitterly
than ever of his opponents, whom he calls
"sore-head cliques of Abolitionists and dis
appointed Democrats ;" and of such honor
able Democrats as McKkoN and BRADY
says : "The first is a noisy, little, brainless
demagogue, and the latter a practical amalga
mationist." Evidently Mr. Woon does not
always perform his villainy on stilts, or by
proxy of his puppets, but sometimes has a
personal hand in the assassination. As an
actual ringleader of the riots in New York,
Mr. WOOD is guiltless ; but we sometimes
see the band of the prime mover, to which
such deeds are not altogether impossible.
Democrats who have ever imagined that
this man possesses one attribute of states
manship or manliness as a politician, must
be by this time undeceived. The fruits of
his efforts are, in brief, a causeless and cruel
riot, in which his own friends were the
worst victims ; the massacre of negroes,
and the demoralization, infamy, and failure
Of his party. At the last, his highest tri
umph is the work of a local demagogue—the
election of a dishonest official in the city of
New York. The latest utterances of Mr.
WOOD and 3*. VALLANDIGHAN are similar.
A mass of pompous speeches, in which
their real character was half disguised, ends
in a fling of angry billingsgate at the men
and party which have been successful. His
tory is almost forestalled in the judgment
which the people have passed upon these
men., They belong to the traitors of history.
But it would be absurd to give Mr. Spoon
credit for the brains of AARON BURR, or the
courage of BENEDICT ARNOLD.
The country 'must be .grateful to the ver
dict of the people which consigns these men
to shame. They have the worst doom :
convicts by the greatest tribunal of the land
the judges and jury of the people.
WE UNDERSTAND that Governor CURTIN
has conferred the appointment of Quarter
master General of Pennsylvania, made va
cant by the late incumbent, General REUBEN',
C. HALE, upon JAMES REYNOLDS, Esq., off!
Lancaster county. Mr. REYNOLDS occupied
a prominent position in the Democratic'party
until the treacheries of Mr. 13norrxrrAtt, whet
he discarded that organization, and has since
been actively co-operating With the friends
of the Government. The brave and never
to-be.lorgotten General Jon's: F. REYNOLDS
was a brother of the new Quartermaster
General. What renders this prompt action
of the Governor more honorable, after his
triumphant election, is the marked manner
in which he recognizes the loyal Democratic
element, which contributed so effectively to
the success of the GOVerttor on the 13th of
last month.
To All Loyal Men.
To unite all loyal men upon a broad and
liberal platform of pure devotion to the
Union, is the duty and the policy of an Ad
ministration which appeals, not to any par
ty„ but to the whole people, for support.
-That its' PurPose is sustained the recent oleo
tionlit in more than twenty ; States 'hive
proved ; the people have said that the man
who would reorganize partisan rivalries, or
sacrifice the unanimity 'of the patriotic
North, to personal ambition, is a public
enemy. We counsel' all Republicans, • es
pecially, to beware of injustice to the
loyal Democrats, who have aided so
-much in the national triumph. We have
no fear that their services are or will
be unrecognized or unrewarded. But
we earnestly impress upon our friends the
absolute necessity of confirming the Union
victory.. Every Democrat who has aban
doned his party when it abandoned its prin
ciples has sacrificed something to his coun
try. The man who honestly gives up his
old political associations leaves behind him
slander, hatred, and enmity. Let him not
find distrust, or jealousy, or envy. The
friends of the Union cannot be enemies of
each other.

grievances by the Secretary of the. Treasury, to
whom they have appealed.
The bookbinders in the Government printing
office hays thus far failed to have their pay ad
vanced to $lB per week, for eight hours' work a day.
The, printers in the same establishment are to hold
a meeting to-morrow, to determine their action for
a similar demand. The former struck to-day.
A committee from the navy yard, consisting of a
naval officer and several of the master mechanics,
are inquiring into the number of hours worked out
side by the mechanics, with the view of regulating
the hours now worked in the yard.

mittees were appointed to aid and stimulate the en
listment of volunteers in the District of Columbia.
Treasury Matters.
Two millions of eerttheates were redeemed at the
Treasury Department yesterday.
It turns out that the large disbursements aueged
to have been made by the Treasury failed because
the pay. rolls were not ready. This will be remedied
at once.
The postage currency will be improved, and will
soon be issued in large quantities.
The Maryland Delegation.
It is believed that ORESSWELL, Emancipationist,
has beaten CRISVIRLD, Conservative, in the First
district of Maryland. The Congressional delegation
will probably stand four Emandpaticinists to one
Conservative.
STATES IN REBELLION;
Successful Escape from .Richmond of two
Union Soldiers-Terrible Sufferings of
our Prisoners in the Rebel Capital, etc.
FORTIIESS Mormon, Nov. 6.—The mailboat Thos.
A. Morgan, from Yorktown, brought down two offi
cers, Major Houston and Lieut. D. Von Weitzen,
having made their successful escape from Richmond.
The Major reports, that he was captured. in North
Carolina' last July, and, with the Lieutenant, had
been kept in Libby Prison most of the time till a
week ago last Sunday, when they made their es
cape, which was done by disguising themselves in
rebel uniforms.
.They state that our Federal prisoners are dying of
starvation in and about Richmond, and they were
not allowed food enough in one week to keep theca
one day. The Major, some time ago, represented
to the officers of the guard that lie must have more
to eat. and wanted work, at the same time re.
presenting himself as a tailor. The officer there
upon furnished him with old uniforms to repair, and
in this manner he secured himself and the lieu
tenant a majer'm and orderly's suit.
It was in these garbs that they left the prison and
proceeded to the Chickahominy swamp, where the
rebel cavalry sent in pursuit discharged several vol
leys, near where they were secreted, in the mud,
without discovering them. They then crossed the
river and came in contact with the rebel pickets, and
lay secreted for three days, till starvation caused
them to advance on the journey, which they 'ea.
complished successfully by proceeding on their
hands and knee. some miles unobserved.

To the Editor of The Preset
SIR : Emancipated slaves on the banks of the•
Mississippi river are now exciting the most anxious
solicitude in the minds of statesmen and the philan.
thropiets, and as the fortune de hi guerre placed us
in immediate contact with this large and important
class, from the day admiral Farragut's fleet passed
Forts Jackson and St. Philip, until the return of
the Hartford, we would respectfully make a few
practical suggestions, through the , column of The
Prez% which, if carried out, we know will apply the
effectual remedy to the case. At the large meeting on
Monday last, at oncert Hall, it was proposed to
raise $50,000 for their relief, and it was said 30,0:100
blacks were now living on the United States Go
vernment.
These slaves were all emancipated by the acts of
their masters, who are in arms against the Govern
ment and laws of the United States, and they say
that they will not be sold again.” They are anx
ious and able to work, and all they require is em
ployment.
Theyoung men are being employed in the army, as
soldiers, where they have proved themselves to be
brave and subordinate. The women and children,
and the aged, want employment in the fields, where
they are accustomed to labor. The lands of their
rebel masters have been declared confiscated during
the masters' life-time, by, the laws of our land. Let
these lands be turned over to the negroes, to be
cultivated in their own way, and the proceeds to be
to themselves, and the suffering negroes, about
whom we hear so much, will not only be found able
to support themselves, but they will loon grow rich.
Women and children can cultivate their small patch
es of cotton, and collect and sell the easily-gathered
crop, while poultry, pigs, and vegetables, cultivated
and raised near their quarters, will always command
a high cash 'price on the banks of the river, where
there is a daily demand for, hem,. Any able bodied
man can to-day earn from one to threedollars a day,
by cutting wood, to
,supply steamers . and - the. New.
Orleans market, where piing are so high and the-
demand so great.
During the last fifteen months the fleet of Admiral
Farragut has been operating in the river from New
Orleans to 'Vicksburg, and they, on all occasions
found the poor, despised, ignorant, industrious slayes
better friends and better citizens of the United States
than their mac tern. Should they not, therefore, be
protected, and the proceeds of their labor be paid to
themselves 1 This is all the aid they: require.
When the Hartford was above Port Hudson,
isolated, and deprived of all commuhication with
the world, and threatened by a fleet of twelve
steamers in Red river, and several thousand
men, our only information of the enemy's move
ments and designs was derived from the contra
bands, who always proved faithful and reliable
friends, and so they will continue to be. Let us
properly appreciate and reward them, and the best
way to do so is to make them small land-owners. In
the destruction of the guerillas which now infest the
banks of, the river, they will be invaluable, from
their knowledge of the country, and their courage
and fidelity to us.
The only and the true means to aid the free colored
race is to give them EMPLOYMENT.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6, 1863.
The great ball which took place on the evening of
the sth, at the New Yolk 4cademy, in honor of the
Russian fleet officers, is described as % magnificent
affair, attended by over two thousand persons. The
Tribune describes the most interesting features of the
occasion as follows
A lady as she rises from her rosy slumbers is no
more the being that whirls in tke gaalight waltz or
bounds in the exhilarating gallop , in all the wonder
of a toilette unimpeachable as the style of 1803,
than is a bird in the prairie wilds the same that.
tickles the palate of a gastronome after Demonise's
genius has exhausted itself in its inside dressing
and its outside garnishing, and the subtle flavor of
some wondrous sauce piquanle. Woman, since she
first smiled in Eden, a wonder and a charm. is no
where more to be marvelled at than when regarded
as a being who dresses.
Flora McFlimsey's race is daily added unto. Our
women have one fault at - present—they dress too
such, neglect individuality, and only seem to study
ii()%9 they may =increase the cost of a costume, de
stroy its character, and make it only a wonder, and
not a charni. When the face appears insignificant
in contrast to the finery, it is high time the rival
should be deposed.
The Russian ball was a marvel of la mode ; no
human pen could begin to trace the manifestations
of her madness ; no brain so strong as not to whirl
in the remembrance of the mazes of attire, the re
dundatice of puffing! and frillings and flutings, of
ruchings and plaitings and gaufferings,, of tulle
and tarletane and crease tine, satin, silk, moire. vel
vets, brocade taffetas, and glacd. " Motleyht the
only ty l gar”..for . gaslight gatherings, and whose shall
be the oddest juxtaposition.of material the onlyrb
valry. It is aimed invidious to select any from. the
kaleidoscopic splendor and confusion of the ever
shifting, waving crowd, but some few toilettes re
main photographed upon this mental plate.
One of the most striking costumes of, the evening
was worn by the handsome lady of, one of our citi
zens, consisting of a black dress of a cloudaike tex
ture, whose double skirts were embroidered in gold,
and edged with heavy gold fringe ; thegarialture ac
companying it was poppies and golden: wheat
idlest&
. .
Another interesting effect was produced by a dress
of tulle : in its hem was run a broad cherry•colored
ribbon, and this was headed by a wilderness of tulle
puffings ; a sous (unique of cherry•hued silk fell
low behind, and was caught up irir front ,• at the sides
were fanchons decorated with wide blonde lace,
which also edged the sllk skirt. The head-dress was
composed of cherry ribbons, and a white rose
.placed
starlike and military high over the forehead jewels
of costly brilliants.
A mauve moire antiquewas worn by a well-known
lady of our city, furnished with superb volants of
point lace, and coiffure of point lace and

A heavy silk dress, of a shade between fawn and cuir
colors had the plain long skirt trimmed with a wide
flounce of elegant white point applique iscei reach
ing above the knee, headed by a velvet of a light
golden brown bue, applied in Vandyked points over
lapping Alm lace, this turning up one side, gradually
narroweeto. the waist the berthe en suite, all
finished with bouquets of white and pink roses.
In statuesque simplicity stood a lady robed in a
black velvet dress, severe in studied plainness, a,
white point de bluise impeded:led the-shoulders, while .
ber hair, sweeping back from a broad brow, was
held by a simple pearl comb. Her . appearance was
like the touch'of a cool hand upon- a fevered brow.
Also a white dress, the skirt defined by fluted rut'
ties, headed by bleak Chantilly lacy insertions, with
sash to match, and modest headgear, escaped the
censure of too great profusion.
As a contrast, was noticed a heavy white silk, the ,
skirt of which to the depth of a haltyard was hidden
by free puffs of azurline blue milk-. This was,,over
topped by a couple of wide flounces of black lase
with airy headings, the bodice a misty creation of
white, black, and blue—while the brain covering of
the lady who bore the mixture was. adorned with a .
long white ostrich feather, and , a profusion of• lace,'
roses, jewels, and falling masses of hair,
tiome elegant dresses were made of rich velvets
of mauve, garnet, blue, and black velvets, Mostly
joined with costly laces. A - few brilliant scarlet
dresses lent brilliancy to the radiant scene;, one
made with ''
-a square bodice a la Maintenon was-both
Russian and military in its style, with , high under
bodice and tight 'sleeves.
As for jewels and flowers, had thogirl in the fairy
tale, whose lips dropped them at every charmed
word, delivered a Your days , speech; they could , not
have shown upon the dwszled• sight in greater. pro.
fuseness. At this late or early hour the whole
phantasmagoria floats like the tangled web of a
midsummer night's dream,' and so, like Macbeth, let

Archbishop Purcell on the War.
Lately, in Cincinnati, the Roman Catholic Arch
'bishop Purcell took ow:melon to defend himself from
the attacks of the Copperhead press, consequent upon
Me haying voted the Union ticket :
Archbishop Purcell modestly, yet pointedly, ae
awered his accusers, and with open and manly
candor, vindicated his right and duty to vote as his
, fienicienee dictated. He followed the defence with
an unreserved declaration of his opposition to the
division of the country, under any circumstances,
and closed by recording hie belief that slavery is an
unchristian'evil, opposed to the just freedom of nom.
kind, and to the growth and glory n
of a republioa
country. • * * • • 4.,
He had voted'against the Democratic ticket, not,
becaUselie deaired to wound the Democrat' of his
acquaintance, nor because he desired to propitiate
their opponents, but because the attempted with
drawal of Ohio soldiers in the field, with Koneerans,
would ensue, and that "the State of Ohio would be
-tossed with revolutionary opposition to the war po-'
Boy. He feared that raids would be invited, the pa
rallel, of which might be found in QuantrelPs barbs

all have been fandy," aaid the speaker, "but it was
my honest opinion, and who, in God's name, could
ask me to cast my vote for the inauguration of such
anaroby and such atrocity." [A.pplaime.]
weeannot have a divided empire. [lmmense ap.
plause I Mr. Pugh said to him the other day, that
the Southern people would consent to permit our
ides reheats to traverse the Missiseippi River, but
that they would aver trade with us, and it would
be vain for us to endeavor to make them strike
bandit with us as of old. He (A.rchbiehop P.) coact

right, not of expediency, and, tor one, he was de
tormined to work for and pray for the right, until,
with God's blessing, it was established 131 all its be.

He had heard there was a dread among many la
boring men, that if slaves were liberated they
come to our Northern cities' and displace thousands
of honest, hard-workipg, white men. For himself,
he did not antioipate.any sue& result. his opin

see every man,no matter what his color, free. [Pro.

been,the iriend of human...freedom. It was Christ's
mission to set, men free, and Christian people dime
gmded his precepts and example, when they leek to
uphold or perpetuate involuntary human servitude.
Public Entertainments.
GERMAN' 0 PERA.. —L a at evening Kreutzer's oharm
g opera, " Nachtlager in Grenada," wee given.
This work, whioh for many years hart been as popu
lar in Germany as "Der Freischutz," was not pro
eented In America until last year, when it met with
deserved success. 'lt is full of fresh, delightful melo
dies, tbe instrumentation is admirable, and the tout
ensemble the WO:k of a master. "The Nairhtlager
is mo.e or - a ballad opera than any other we know
bf. The beautiful opening aria for Gabrielle, the
tine romance for "The Huntsman," the Moorish
song, and others, are gems which will, without
doubt, become popular. Indeed, so full Of
excellent, uastrained music is Kreutzer , chef
d'reuvre, tkat it has made a tour of the world.
In - Paris its success was great, and in Italy it was
received with favor. The concerted music is also
superior. The finale to the second act, as it is Baca
(the opera was originally written in two acts, but
is divided into three), is spirited and effective. The
bolero for GOMEZ (written after. the opera was first
produced, because the part was considered too in
different for any tenor) is brilliant, as is also the
hunters , - °horns, the motive of which is well worked
up in the overture. Canine saoethe graceful
music of Gabrielle very tastefully. The lady has a
sweet though not strong voice, and executed her
first song welly Herr Steineoke sang with care the
difficult role of the Huntsmaa, and, though his voice
is lacking in power, he is an excellent actor, and
sings judiciously. We were particularly pleased
with the Gomez of Herr Habbelman. The German
Opera is fortunate in possessing two excellent
tenors.
On Monday we are to have Beethoven's "Fide-
Ho." We hope to hear Nicola "Merry Wives of
Windsor" soon. We remember its delightful musio
with pleasure.
NEW OHRSTNIIT - STREET THEATRE. Vestvaii
makes her last appearance this evening. She is a
most brilliant artiste, and is, withal, discriminating
in the character she represents. Since we have Been
her only in one character we cannot speak with
certainty of her ability in others. We should con
ceive, however, that any character she undertakes,
whether it be commensurate with her powers or
not, would be delineated with considerable effect.
The passion of her soul would paint the picture in
strong, and Set not violent colors. The repre
sentation would glow but not glare. There is
delicacy and grace in the portraiture of Vestvali.
She has softness and sweetness as well as strength
and energyin her tones. She has completely taken
captive the hearts of play-goers, and their only re
gret is that her engagement has been so short. In
addition to "Gamea," she appeared last evening,
and will appear this evening, in ths third act of
" Romeo and Juliet." We are but echoing the wish
of the public when we express a desire for her sun
less and speedy return.
On Monday, Miss Avonia Jones will appear, and
if the lady's abilities are equal to her reputation ;
if the criticism of the London journals is not grossly
insincere, another fine artiste will be added to our
stage. We are not disposed to endorse, in advance,
the very high praise given to the Media of Mies Avo
nia Jones, by the Times, Standard, and Morning . Post,
but it justifies us in expecting talent of no ordinary
degree.
MISS READY PROVOST—WALNUT•STRRET THECA
TIGE.—This distinguished actress will appear at the
above-named house, on next Monday evening, in
her great character of "Nell Gwynne," in the play
of the same name, in which Miss Provost is said to
have no living equal. During her engagement lasi\
season in this city she was favored with much ap
plause from tremendous audiences, and we doubt not
that she will be well received' during her present en
gagement. Miss Provost is personally very attrac
tive, and engages the sympathy and admiration of
the public through her earnest and_powerful, yet
dignified and tasteful efforts as'a hilitrion.. We be
speak for her an overwhelming house on hionday
evening.

Mr. P. F. Rothermel, called " The Christian Martyrs

work and will add great fame to the. artist. While
viewing this noble picture for a short time, it ap
peals to the looker-on as a reality, and suggests
teeny thoughts to the mind of the, cruelties endured
and the strong faith in God possessed by the Chris
tian martyrs at that time.

formed that Mrs. Jennie Van. Zandt, v.& Blitz
(daughter of the irrepressible and incomparable
Signor—monarch of magic), will shortly give an ex
hibition for the purpose of displaying her talents
and accomplishments as a vocalist in Philadelphia.
This announcement will be hailed with‘delight by
many of, the friends of the young, deserving, and
talented debutante. Mrs. Van Zandt recently gave a
select concert to her friends at the Academy of
Music in Brooklyn, which was most Successful in
both artistic and pecuniary ways. In the Brindisi
Scena from " Traviata, 2l the aria was thought to
tax all of her powers in its rendition, and she ex
hibited all the elements of a successful prima donna.
Iler upper , notes were well sustained, and the
staccato passages given with vigor, taste, and preci
sion. She was munificently applauded and encored
tin oughout by a large and most respectable audience.
OPENING OF THE LECTURE SEASON—MR. DA.VIS'

Robert S. Davis, of Philadelphia, will deliver his
lecture on" The Siege of Cherie/don or, Six Months

the borough of Darby, on next Thursday evening.
Mr. Davis is a young man of ability, taste, and edu
cation, and, having but recently returned from his
six. months stay as a war correspondent about
Charleston, can speak upon his subject, in a most
acceptable way, from actual experience. Mr. Davie
Was formerly connected with The Press and other
newspapers of our city, and earned a most respecta

Grand Advertising Feat.
Meilen. Wheeler & Wilson, the great Sewing Ma
chine firm, whose splendid warerooms in Philadel
phia are at No. 704 Chestnut street, have this morn
ing instituted a new era in the advertiaing enter•
prise of our city. As will be seen,
a very large por
tion of our space is to-day devoted toe descriptive
and historic sketeh of Sewing Machines in general,
and the world-renowned instrument which beats
the name of this firm in particular. This magnifi
cent card of their celebrated instrument, and brown
stone warehouse in this city, le published eh:unite
neously in all the principal daily newepapors in this
city, besides a large number of weekliee,sepular and
religious, at an aggregate expense of thousands of
dollars. We have long since maintained that the
true secret of bueiness success, in any manufacturing
enterprise especially, was to first produoe a really
good article, the best in the world if possible, and
then advertise it freely, continuously, and even ob
trusively in the live newspapers. of the day. This is
exactly what Messrs. Wheeler & Wilson have done,
and ,their great wealth to.day, and the unparalleled
popularity of their machines, both here and abroad,
is a proud monument to their sagacity. We are
glad to find that Philadelphians are becoming more
awakened to the importance ofjudicious advertising.
First oleos newspapers are as importantto the spirit
and intelligence of this age, as the head is to the
body, and let it be frankly acknowledged that the
honor of supplying the sinews of every live daily
newspaper belongs to liberal advertisers. The ne
cessity for advertising has in fact become so maii.
fest, that for almost any business firm to refrain
from it le to silently Submit to its own decay and
ultimate extinction. s They that run in the business
race for victory now, without lubricating their me
chinery with printers' ink, are running against wind,
and tide—are, in fact, acting just as unwisely as a
lady would be in endeavoring, with her old.fashion
ed needle and thread, to stitch a race with the
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine, or as a lumber
ing stage coach would be in trying to outrun a steam
engine. In view of these facts we surrender so large
a portion of our space4o-day to Messrs. Wheeler
Wilson, the more cheerfully because the moral effect
of their example will be, either to decrease the num
ber of "slow coaches" in our city, or to have them
give the steam engine a fair trial. In either case,
the interests of humanity (and the newspapers) will
be subeer-red, and Philadelphia wil be rendered the
More likely of taking the first rank among the cities
of the Union, which she once occupied, and to which
for various reasons ehe is justly entitled.
ECONOMY IN FIIEL.—NOW that Coal
selling at the enormous price of $ll a ton, thie cap
tion ought to attract attention ; the more so, as what
we are about to state will not only enable the reader
to theorize correctly about "saving fuel,” but will
effectually enable him to put it in practice. We
have long , since maintained, and tried to impress
upon the public mind, that the beet Parlor Stove in
the United States was the celebrated patent Silver's
Air-Tight Gan Consuming Parlor Stove, manufac
tured and sold , by Mr. T. S. Clark, No. 1008 Market
street. Besides the remarkable convenience and
cleanliness of these celebrated stoves of Mr. Clark,
their economical qualities are sufficient to make
them supersede all other heating stoves ia use.
Think of it, one ton and a half of coal is all they con
sume during the entire cold weather in heating a large
sized parlor ( We do not wonder, therefore, that the
sales of these celebrated stoves this season are almost
'fabulous in amount ; so much so, that with all Mr.
Clark's small army of operatives, he finds it almost
impossible to meet the great demand for them. The
'went improvements in these stoves also, medalled
patented by Mr. Clark, greatly enhance their value
and popularity. Among these we may mention his
ingenious self-acting' door, which is now supplied
with a sort of doublorevolving arrangement, (of Mr.
Clerk's own invention and patenting,) by which the
fire can be seen, while the isinglass is so inserted
that it can never burnout. Besides this, all these
stoves are made from the very best imported Russia
sheet iron, which makes them immensely durable.
We would suggest in conclusion, that all who are in
want of the best stove made, either for parlor,
chamber, dining-room, store, office, counting-house,
or anything else, will find exactly what they want
at Mr. Clark's celebrated Stove Emporium, No.
1008 Market street, at reasonable prices.
SPLENDID NEW ESTABLISHMENT OP THE
FLOICHNOIS SEWING MACHINE COMPANY.—Within
the past week the " Florence " Sewing Machine
Company has opened, at 630 Chestnut street, one of
the most splendid establishments in this country for
the sale of their celebrated instruments. Vie gene
ral agent, Mr. G. G. Evans, has spared no pains to
render his elegant new Emporium a business orna
ment to our city, at once creditable to the popular
Company which he represents, and worthy the fame
and celebrity of the invaluable machine be sells.
Among the several advantageous peculiarities of the
"Florence" Machine are the fallowing: It makes
four different stitches—the look, knot„ double-lock,
and double-knot—on one and theisame machine; it
has a reversible feed motion, which enables the ope
rator to have the work run either to the right or
left; it is almost noiseless in its operations ; is the
most rapid sewer in the world; the needle of it is
more easily adjusted than in any other machine;
and it is fully protected and licensed by Elias Ho we,
Jr. Every machine also has one of Jencks patent
hemmers attached — (the right to use which is con
trolled by this Company), enabling the operator to
turn any width of hem desired, and while possessing
,all_these,and_numeroue other advantages, the " Flo
rence " is sold at corresPonifilig - prices with other
flist•class machines. We advise at of our readers,
who have not yet done so, to visit this elegant new
establishment.
ELEGANT STOCK OF CLOTHTEG.—Now
that the season is at hand for our readers to supply
themselves with new suits of Clothing, the informa
tion is moot opportune that the very best place to
do so in Philadelphia is at the popular old clothing
house of Messrs. a Somers Sc Son, No. 625 Chest
nut street, under Jayne's Hall. Both in their
Ready-made and Customer departments their repu
tation is unequalled, and all who try them once are
made permanent patrons.
MESSRS. E. & Co:, the
wellknown confectioners, No. 318 Chestnut street,
have now ready their new fall and winter prepara
tions, brought on their counters fresh- every morn
ing, among which we observe a number -of choice
things never heretofore produced. This is charac
terietio of the
_house. They have long since taken
the lead in this department of our trade and manu
factures ; and if using the lined materials, politeness
to customers, and selling at moderate prices, are
worth anything in trade, they are bound to main
tain their supremacy in face of all competition.
FOR TIER HEIST PHOTOGRAPHS made in
Philadelphia, or the Union, go to Messrs. Wende

THOUGHTS OF. HOME.—
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.
Give me in dreams. at least, to see.
The spot remembrance holds most dear;
If distant in reality.
Oh let me be in fancy near.
My childhood's home is far away,
Beyond the limits of this State,
And, like the Trojan, doomed to stray.
I yield to my conductor. Fate.
But while the memory of my home
I cherish with regretful pain,
I bless the chance that made me roam
To Pennsylvania's fair domain.
I bless the chance that brought me here
To Philadelphia's brilliant streets,
Where scenes to every patriot dear.
The wanderer's eye delighted greets.
Here, Independence Hall is seen.
'Twas there our noblest statesmen met
Oh let their laurels still be green
When faction's minions we forget
Another Hall I here behold,
Distinguished by its lofty spire,
Whose doors invitingly unfold
To show the goods that all admire.

cough becomes one of the mast prominent symptoms,
