The Breaking of the Ice.
There is something more than usually
suggestive in the letter of E. W. GANTT, of
Arkansas. Mt. GANTT is known to us as a
prominent citizen of that State, a member
of the rebel Congress, and formerly a briga
-dier general in the rebel army. He was a
.Secessionist in the beginning, and showed
. ..his devotion to secession by drawing his
sword in its behalf. It was the fortune of
war that he should become-a prisoner, and
in time he was released. On his return to
his native State he, issued a• manifesto call
ing upon the peciple to throw off their alle
giance to the Confederacy - and return to the
Union. This manifesto is very- long, and
*he most striking parts of it have appeared
in Tam PRESS. It is evidently written by a
sincere and courageous man ; for he does
not extenuate nor apologize, nor avoid any
of the great questions that come before him.
He has seen the South face to face as, a sol
dier in its armies and a statesman in its
Legislatire. He is no friend of the North,
and his advice is the advite of a man who
has no love for us or our institutions, but
who sees precisely where the danger is, and
knows what should be done to avoid it. Of
course, any argument or entreaty that Mr.
GANTT can make is for his people, and not
for us. We accept his address more parti
cularly as an evidence of the,real feeling of
the Southern people in reference to:the war
for the Union and what we have gained in
the prosecution of the war.
Mr. GANTT shows us upon what the re
bellion was based in the beginning. Mr.
DAVIS, he tells us, had the whole cotton
crop and the wealth of the South at his dis
posal, and the friendship of many European
Phers. In plainer words, this rebellion be
gan.in the interest of slavery and aristocra
cy—for the cotton crop and Southern wealth
are simply the effects of slavery, while the
friendship of the European Powers was
only given to the cause most inimical to free
dom. The few men who possessed the
slaves of the South, controlling its lands and
crops, and through these lands and crops
the great commerce that was sustained by
them, took upon themselves to conspire
against the Republic and destroy freedom.
They saw in the North intelligent millions,
and these millions by the virtue of spelling
books, and ploughs, and spinning-wheels,
and newspapers, became powerful and
wealthy, and multiplying throughout the
land, controlled its legislation and its public
sentiment. The lord of a thousand slaves
- and ten thousand acres found his peer on
the shoemaker's bench in Massachusetts, or,
holding the plough-handles in Pennsylvania.
And it became a hateful thing that in the
government of the country the farmer and
shoemaker should claim to exercise a power
as great as his own. Therefore he sought
war. His life had been the life of - a soldier.
His days had been given to 'the horse and
the rifle. His eye was keen, his nerves
strong, and he had the audacity, and cour
age that such a life would give. He
would appeal to the sword, and by the
sword he would smite and punish and utter
ly destroy the nation of reading and writing
laboring men, that were growing up around
him as peers.
Mr. GANTT tells us that this was the be
ginning of the war, He shows us how it
has resulted. "We have been Whipped,"
- he says, " and fairly beaten ; our armies
are melting and ruin approaches us." The
struggle appears to him in a far different
light than the other gentlemen who, under
the leadership of JEFFERSON awls, under
took to overthrow liberty by the cotton crop
and the wealth of the South. It is the
fashion of the sanguine gentlemen in the
south, particularly those who write, for
Richmond newspapers, to speak of the
reading and writing laboring men as " cow
.ardly Yankees," " the scum of foreign corn
, munities," beggars and boors. To these
-valiant newspaper men we are but as so
many sheep driven to the slaughter ; so
many victims cut down with the fire and
sword of Southern vengeance. Mr. GANTT
finds no consolation in this easy rhe
toric. He 'tells the people of Arkansas
not to be deceived with the hope that the
United States will abandon the struggle.
He has been with us, and tells his fellow
citizens that we scarcely feel the war• at
home ; that our cities are more populous
.and thrifty to-day than ever; that our vil
lages and towns, and fields, and country,
are still flourishing ; that we could sink our
present armies, and raise new armies to crush
- the South without feeling 'the effort. He
sees the South a picture of desolation and
decay-; he admits that it has not the power
to continue the contest. Nor can they hope
for foreign intervention. It is a fatal delu
sion. With the pride of a true American,
.who has not lost his Americanism by being
ea Southerner, he spurns the idea of afftlia
:ting with France. He does not wish another
:MAXI3IILIAN for his country, nor can he
.onsent i to allow DAVIS to barter Texas for
-the mercenary aid of French bayonets. Nor
~does he see any hope in a divided Nqrth.
He admonishes his people to remember that
in the North the boldest friead of the South
is merely in favor of reconstruction, and re
construction rejected, they are in favor of
still continuing the war. We can assure
the people of Arkansas that Mr. GANTT
states thi d part of his case with truth and
moderation.
, 7„he remedy this citizen proposes is the
ktnly' remedy open to the people of the
South submission. to the Federal autho
rity and a cessation of the war by acknow
ledging the power of the Government. "I
thought," he says, "that the Government
was divided, and negro slavery established
forever,. -I erred. The Government was
stronger than slavery." , These opinions
may not be _popular in the military depart-
Anent of General HOLMES, but they Must
become popular in Arkansas. We have
seen their effect in North Carolina; we have
seen Tennessee become gradually loyal ; we
have seen emancipation sustained by slave
holding Maryland. We know that in
Georgia there is a large party opposed to
Mr. DAvre and to the rebel dominion. In
every part of the South the evidences of this
opposition are becoming, stronger, and
the dreary pilgrimage of the rebel Lu
cifer must have revealed to him a
spectacle more terrible than that which
appalled Macbeth when his crimes began
to make his bloody crown a wretched
and dreary dignity. Re saw a fair land
desolate—a people suffering—thousands of
friends weeping for friends that would
never return, and a public sentiment rising
around him with fearful omen. He saw his
power passing away like a guilty and appall
ing dream. The loyal citizen may rejoice in
this, and the many similar indiCations that
come from the South. The winter is past,
the ice is breakine, and the spring time of
peace is at hand.
Mr. Davis on his Winding Way.
Mr. JEFFERSONeDAVIS, armed with the
metaphorical olive branch, and a trunk full
of cheery speeches, has been making the
circuit of the well-known Southern Con
federacy. It is a remarkable fact that the
eloquence of Mr. DAVIS is both a counter
irritant and anodyne in nature ; that is to
say, whenever the clouds of adversity com
mence to lower upon the Southern cause,
and the Southern people begin toindulge in
gloomy forebodings or incendiary threats,
Mr. Davis thereupon makes a tour of his
dominions, and by dint of terribly tedious
harangues, which are of course deferen
tially printed in the rebel papers, so bores
and annoys his chivalrous constituency that
their indignation is diverted into a new
channel, and their dire forebodings
give place to feelings of sedate and
lamb-like resignation. In this diplo
matic way, popular discontent is qui
eted, and popular rejoicings prevented.
Whenever Mr. DAVIS takes to speech-ma
king, it is safe to infer that the fortunes of
the Confederacy are in a bad way. Some
men grow talkative with success ; Mr.
DAVIS, like Mr. Skimpole, is never so gar
tulous as when he is in. trouble. When
Vicksburg was menaced by General GRANT,
Mr. DAVIS hastened from Richthond to
Jackson, Mississippi, for the sole purpose of
making a speech ; and when Vicksburg was
lost, the rebel President, scenting afar off
fresh perils for his cause, resolved to take
time by the forelock, and make ciiae grand
effort to avert them. And now that Mobile
and Chattanooga and Charleston have come
to be -so many geographical omens of the
fate of the rebellion, Mr. DAvis' tongue is
once more unloosed, and the voice of the
prophet is heard in the land. We heard of
him at Missionary Ridge, where he went,
firstly, to make an address to the troops,
and, secondly, to reconcile the noisy corn
manders. Thence he proceeded to At
lanta, Montgomery, and Mobile, always ma
king speeches. Having still three speeches
left, he next visited Charleston (where, he
advised the rebel troops to have " an eye sin
gle to the cause," or something to the same
effect); then Wilmington, N. C., the only
port remaining to the South; and finally, we
hear of his triumphal return- to the rebel
capital. The Richmond Examiner, speaking
of the attendant ceremonies, says " the peo
ple en masse, and the military forces under
the command of General Bnown, should
repair to the dCpet this afternoon and escort
him to the Executive mansion. A - speech
will doubtless be their reward, and that, at
this time, is eminently needed here," which
sounds somewhat like sarcasm, though
doubtless well meant. In making the tour,
thus to be grandly wound up, ltr. Davis
has exhibited his usual astuteness and fore
sight. He saw that the time was close at
hand when the encroachments of GRANT
on the West, and GILMORE on the East,
would deprive him of the advantages of the
"interior lines," by virtue of which he is
alone enabled to traverse the Southern coun
try in safety ; and that, therefore, in the ex
pedition he proposed to himself, expedition
was above all things necessary ! As it was,
although he seems to have travelled with
speed, he has reached Richmond none too
soon for his individual safety. The East
Tennessee road, upon which he set forth,
has since fallen into possession of Bann - -
SIDE, and the road from Charleston to Rich
mond; upon which he returned, will probably
be speedily in possession of General GIL
MORE. But there was one point concerning
which the rebel President felt a far greater
anxiety; and that was, lest the progress of
the war should still further curtail the terri
torial dimensions of the rebellion ; for the
smaller the Confedercy, the shorter must
be Mr. DAVIS' tours, and therefore the
fewer his speeches !
Maximilian and Mexico. -
While MeximmrAN, of Austria, is employ
ing himself in drafting a constitution for the
new, empire of Mexico, to which he has
been elected by the favor of NAPOLEON, of
France, it continues more doubtful than
ever whether he shall ascend the newly
constructed throne. If he knew what was
good for him, he would reject the crown.
Ms situation, in Austria, is peculiar.
young man, well endowed by Nature and,
singularly favored by fortune, he is next in
blood to the Emperor of Austria, his brother.
In the event of death removing the Emperor,
the succession would pass, by the law of
primogeniture, to his only son, the Arch
duke RuDoLra, a child now only five years
old, and it has been appointed that, in such
a contingency, MAXIMILIAN shall govern
Austria, as Regent, until the young emperor
attain the legal age of eighteen. Should
this child die, in his father's lifetime, MAXI
MILIAN then becomes heir-presumptive to
the imperial crown of Austria. Should the
reigning emperor and his son pass away,
the Archduke would succeed, de jure, to
imperial sway, and become MAizmix.r&rt
111., of Austria. - These chances he must
. surrender ; he must wholly disconnect him
self from all present or future connection
with Austria, his fatherland, once that he
becomes Emperor of Mexico. The thought
ful observer of public events is involuntarily
reminded by the Archduke's situation, .of
the fable of the dog and the shadow,
AlextmLlAN told the Mexican deputation
that he would accept the imperial diadem of.
Mexico, provided that he was called to rule
by the general voice of the new empire, and.
that civil war was wholly ended. It is not
very probable that Mexico will ever be'
wholly free from internal convulsions, and
the French soldiers, acting by their leader's
commands, are acting precisely as if their
secret, but determined, aim was to irritate
the public mind against all foreigners. The
manner in which the French rough-ride
over, the unfortunate inhabitants of the city
of Mexico is represented as exhibiting won
drous inhumanity and injustice, and
"curses,, not loud, but deep," follow the
reckless invaders. Meanwhile, this cannot
but help JUAREZ, President by popular elec
tion, who continues in arms against the in
vaders, and must be strengthened by the
antipathy to the French, which has become
very general. Mdigover, the United States
Government continues to recognize JUAREZ
as actual President, and does not acknow
ledge the French in any capacity whatever.
The time would seem remote when Mexi
co, civil war ended, can have a chance of
deciding, by a plebiscite, whether it shall be
come an empire, with an Austrian Arch
duke on the throne. bleximimAN will pro
bably never have to abandon Austria for
Mexico.
THE SPECIAL RELIEF COMMITTEE, a
branch of the Sanitary Commission, is to
have a benefit by means of the German Ope
ra Troupe, at the Academy of Music. " Jo
seph" will be performed on that occasion,
the price of admission being fixed at one
dollar to the parquet, parquet-circle, and
balcony, reserved seats being half a dollar
more. The object of the Special Relief
Committee is to assist discharged _soldiers
and the families of volunteers. We, there
fore, feel certain that a most cordial response
- will be made, and that a crowded house
will testify, the interest felt in the cause, the
appreciation of the efforts of the members
of the committee, and of the zood will of
the German Opera Troupe.. •
y is Coal su Lear ?
Everything has increased end is increas
ing in price, and perhaps it is but natural
that Coal should follow the example. The
war, taxes, the inflation of currency, supply
and demand, have occasioned many changes.
We pay more for our milk than we used to
do, end likewise for tea and coffee, and sugar
and butter. There is a foreboding on - the
part of many, that the city railways are
going to try the same experiment, and that
passengers in future must be provided with
pennies. This piece of injustice, however,
we trust will not be attempted: A pleasant
breakfaat parlor is one of the most agreeable
of all sights. It is there we meet and abuse
all our friends, and scandalize all our ac
quaintances ; it is there we gloat over the
news in the damp newspaper ; it is there we
growl when the toast is cold, and the tea
weak ; it is there ive gird up our loins for
the combat of the day ; it - is there we wax
confidential and grandiloquent;" and it is
there we grumble if the fire is low, or the
heat not turned on. For, amiably-disposed
people to the contrary, it is not congenial to
the educated palate to taste meats cold, nor
it Is comfortable to shiver. Coal, then,
much more than wood, becomes an indis
pensable commodity. Coal we must, and
will have. Coal is wantedeverywhere.
Consequently, coal
becomes proud and way
ward, and insists upon an increase of wages.
In the New York auction sales of Sep
tember the price of stove and egg coal was
from seven dollars and ninety-five cents to
seven dollars and eighty-five cents per ton.
The price in October is nine dollars and,
fifty.five cents and nine dollars and seventy
cents, being an average, increase of one
dollar and seventy-two cents. The coal
used for household purposes is always in
demand, and, yet it seems to be extremely
'Pearce. Many prefer bituminous to anthra
cite because it is cheaper, and because they
say something is saved in the burning of it.
Bowever this may be, the prices are in
creased, and there is much speculation in
regard to the causes of the increase.
Whether speculation itself is the main
cause has bedtime a matter of question.
The heavy coal operators say that the
species of gambling known as "operating"
has nothing at all to do with it, and they re
fuse t lay the blame, if blame there be, upon
their own shoulders. The more moderate
and conservative, but less enterprising spirits
of the coal trade, tell the same story, and
do not charge, the cause so much to scarcity
of workmen as to an increasing demand
upon a decreising supply. A very great
deal of coal is of course employed for Go
vernment purposes, and the number of
laborers in mines may have been somewhat
decreased, by the demands Of the present
war. Whether these reasons are sufficient
to account for the present high prices of
coal is a matter which requires serious con- -
sideration, and upon which we can scarcely
have an. opinion. A review of the anthra
cite coal trade of the United States between
the years 1820 and 1862, affords conclusive
evidence of remarkable increase in the quan
tity sent to market from the different regions
in. Pennsylvania, ranging from thousands of
tons to millions, and is t the year 1860 reach
ing over nine nialliona five hundred thou
sand tons.
It does not require a political economist
to perceive that where the supply is small,
and the demand great, the price must be
correspondingly increased. Consumers
should remember this, and not growl before
discovering a reason for their discontent.
Some of the mines look as if alley were
al
most worked out, so much so that we are
afraid that if Sir Charles Coldstream en
gaged in the coal business, he would aoon,
arrive at the coneltv4ign that there was "W
-aling in it." Mr. Micawber turned his
• attention• 1.
to co — t.. Once, ail, A
We all know
what he thought about it. Perhaps his fa
miliarity with dumping- shutes might lead
him to explain, in short, why coal is so dear
just at present. We are afraid no explana
tion can be given that will satisfy every
one. We have hinted at a few of the causes
commonly pleaded, and touched upon the
matter of speculative enterprises. For the
enlightenment of the community, we might
further add that there is not a prospect of
coal's speedy reduction in price, and that
while a few energetic men are making mo
ney., a great many conservatives are "just
managing to get along."
A New pennsylvanian Product.
It has long been our belief that, thanks 'to
the bounty of God and the industry and
skill of man, these United States can pro
duce every necessary and almost every lux
ury of life, without hying recourse to other
countries. Two articles in ordinary use—
coffee and tea—have hitherto not been culti
vated here, but the former, largely grown
in Brazil, can certainly be grown, in the
open air, in some parts of our vast empire,
and as for the latter, even Pennsylvania lies
within the particular belt which is best
adapted for its production. That belt is
pretty wide, for it extends from the equator
to the 45th degree of latitude. Ere many
years, China will cease to have a monopoly
of the tea trade. The cultivation of the
plant has beei3 successfully introduced into
Java and Brazil, and, still more largely,
into:Assam, an East Indian province, lying
between the Ganges and the Brahmapootra.
The cultivation of the tea-tree, with the
manufacture of its leaves into an article
of domestic consumption, is now in progress
in Pennsylvania, and the State Legislature
has granted a charter of incorporation to
the Areerican Tea Company, which under
takes to develop this new productive re
source in Pennsylvania. %be Hoh. J. W.
QUIGGLE, late consul to Antwerp, is at the
head of this body, and the gentleman who
may be considered its working head is Dr.
SPENCER BortsALL, who reported 'to the
Patent Office, some years ago, in favor of
cultivating and manufacturing tea in the -
United States, and acquired his practical
knowledge on the subject as superintendent
and chief manager on the lands hi India of
the Assam Tea . Company.
The tea plant is indigenous in Pennsylva
nia. By the use of machinery in preparing
the leaves, a superior article can be pro
duced here, and sold at the rate of from
eleven to thirteen cents delivered in mar
kets ; or about one-third of its cost, when
anu al lab or is employed in the East Indies,
At present, the produce of tea per acre is
about 400 pounds, Which may be largely
augmented. It grows wild in some (not
all) of ' the mountainous districts of. Penn
sylvania, and is found there in great abund. ,
ante: Set machinery against the Asiatic
process of personal manipulation, and the
cost of manufacture here becomes much
lower than in China, Assam, or Java. It
may come to pass, in the time even of
living men, that Europe will import her tea
from the United States, and not from Chin%.
The green tea raised near Philadelphia
bas the look, odor, Wand flavor of Asiatic
tea, with a slight herbacious taste, the con
sequence of its not having been kept long
enough before brought to the test. This,
alone, makes it differ from ordinary Hyson
of good quality.
THE OBSERVER.—This is the name of a
new weekly journal, of which the first num
ber was published on Sunday. Mr. Iticnenn
MEADS BACHE, aescendant of BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN, is editor and publisher, and
therefore is an hereditary newspaper man,
and apparently up to the mark. The Ob ,
server, which is well printed with good type
on fine paper, promises to be a journal of
politics, news, literature, and criticism. It
has late telegraphic news, and a good deal
of it. The political intention is, while ex;
ercising the right to comment on public to
pics, "to recognize in any Administration
the Government for the time ; and this Ad
ministration one, which, considering the
momentous issues that it has been called
npon to meet, has vindicated its title to the
respect of the whole world.". It recognizes
in the person of its Chief,. " a true man of the
people—the beau-ideal of Democracy." It
looks upon the abolition of slavery as the
indispensable requisite of a lasting peace.
On the whole, this is a very good first num
ber—but a;leading article over three co
lumns in length, Do matter what its subject,
is very unlikely to be read by more thah one
in a thousand. We welcome The Ob
selver as an 'aide and truly loyal Sunday
paper. .
THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA; WONFSDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1863.
bETTER Fl5Oll "MtLititONAL."
WASHINCIVON, Nov. 14; '1863.
The canvass for Congress in the little
state of Delaware, which will conclude the
elections prior to the first Monday in De
cember, attracts extraordinaryrattention, and
I am not surprised that the friends of the Go
vernment and the war have determined, if
possible, to crown, it with `a complete and
signiffeant victory. While I au-v not die
posed to make any personal as upon"
the Copperhead candidate for Congress ier
'Delaware, Hon. Charles , Brown, very recent
ly a citizen of Philadelphia, and for many
years the representative of a portion e 4 that
city in the Reform Convention, the Legisla
ture, and the National' Congress, yet I can-
not- refrain the expression of my surprise,
that he should now be the standard
bearer of an organization, and the candi
date of men against which and whom.
he so bitterly protested during at least
three" years of - James- Buchanart's Ad=
ministration. So vehement was Mr. Brown'S
opposition to the Kansas policy of James-
Buchanan, and so active in his co-operatiott•
with those who opposed Lecompton and the
Engliah bill, that he was generally regarded
as an outsider by the new Democratic lead
ers ; and I believe it is not doubted that no
man expressed himself more strongly against
the manner in which the Democratic party
was divided and destroyed by Bayard, and
Whitley, and the Saulsbury's, of Delaware,
than this same Mr. Brown.: The first time
he showed his sympathy with the rebellion
was at the meeting in, the Board of Trade
Rooms, Philadelphia, after the firing upon
the Star of the West, in Charleston harbor,
in January, 1861. Doubtless, at that time,
whatever interests he may have had in
Delaware, and whatever old prejudices
in favor of slavery, acquired in Rich
mond, yet remained in his heart, im
pelled him to the extraordinary course of
taking issue with those patriotic men who
at that meeting rallied the people to the
cause of the country. The next thing heard
of Mr. Brown was his exodus to Dover,
Del., where, after a short incubation, he
turns up as the candidate for Congress of a
party of men against whom he has fre
quently uttered the strongest denunciations.
I venture to assert that, objectionable as,
the Vallandighams and Seymours and
Woodward's and other Copperheads have
made themselves to all loyal interests, the
violent courses of the so-ealled Democratic
leaders in Delaware have rendered them ob
jects of universal detestation and scorn. The
doctrines of these men are now embodied
in the person of Charles Brown, late of
Pennsylvania, are defended and excused
by him, and all their dangerous designs
heartily seconded and assisted. Powerful
as the influence of slavery has been in Dela
ware, in former campaigns, I cannot but be
lieve that the new trial to which the people
of that State are now subjected will impel
them to rise against their betrayers, and, in
imitation of the people of the free States,
who have forever sealed the doom of similar
politicians, and in cordial accord with the
patriotic men of Maryland who have de
clared in favor of the gradual abolition
of slavery, will defeat Mr. Brown by an
overwhelming majority at the coming elec
tion, OCCASIONAL._
A Victory which is Defeat.
A Richnion n d paper makes Ate significant
acknowledgment that the advantages of
Chickamauga have been lost, and the battle
must be fought over again. Nothing is
more positively true, and the confession is
widely significant. Chickamauga is not all
that has been won and lost by the enemy.
In the great and final summary ever.sr—
tory of the rebels will, nave been a
failure. Not alone Ohickantatiga must
be fought over again, but all that the
rebels have ever achieved must be achieved
again before they can accomplish their
usurped independence. Tennessee, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi,
are all virtually lost to the rebellion—is it
possible for our enemies, now weaker and
poorer than ever, to recover the vast terri
tory they have lost? Delaware, Maryland,
Tennessee, Louisiana, are lost to slavery
beyond power of the reconversion. North Ca
rolina is dissatisfied with the Confederacy,
and the very heart of the 'Confederacy is
unsound; but whatpower can make it whol
again ? Yet the South must subjugate and
convert all these States back to slavery and
rebellion, and, indeed, conquer the (great
North, ere it can wrest itself from the inex
orable 'and inevitable sovereignty of the
Union:
"Me miserable! Which way shall I fly?
Wher'ver Igo is hell ! Myself am hell !"
In its present dilemma the South can gain
no victory that will be decisive. A battle
won may secure a brief glory, a day's re
spite from despair, but very little bread and
territory for a famished people and a hun
gry ambition. At this tine, especially, de
feat which brings relief, is more necessary
to the 'South than victory which . only pro
longs disaster.
MISS CUSIIMAN AND THE SANITARY COM
ABSSION.--TIENRY W. BELLOWS, President
of the U. S. Sanitary Commission, publishes
a mid in acknowledgment of the amounts
received from Mrs. CHARLOTTE CusumAm,
as the result of the "benefits" donated by
her to that meritorious organization.
The benefit at our Academy of Music, Sep
tember 12, netted $f,314.27 ; the Boston
Academy of. Music yielded $2,020.75 ; Gro
ver's Theatre, Washington, $l,BOO ; Ford's
Theatre, Baltimore, $360, and the New
York Academy of Music $2,772.27, ma
king a total of $8,267.29. Mr. BELLOWS
adds:
"In compliment to the noble woman whose gene
rous bestowment of $8,267.29 I hereby publicly ac
knowledge, the Commission has ordered the whole
amount to be expended through our home branches
in those cities where the several sums were contd.
buted, that this money may continue as long as pos
sible to be sanctified by the touch only of women's
hands. It will thus reach our soldiers on battle
fields and in hospitals charged with the blessings,
prayenwand tears of American womanhood." -
A RICHMOND paper says : " Senator Pen-
LAN is now delivering speeches in the north
ern part of Mississippi, and arousing the. pa
triotism and energies of the people of that sec
tion."
. If the people of Mississippi require
speeches from Senator PHELAN, or any other
Senator, to "arouse their patriotism and en
ergies," how does it happen that we have
heard so much of their being unanimously
and zealously in favor of the rebel cause,
and willing to support it "to the last man
and the last dollar ?"
THE WAR DEPARTMENT has established
recruiting stations for colored troops at
Stevenson, Alabama, and at Nashville;
Murfreesbord, Gallatin, Wartrace, Clarks
ville, Shelbyville, and Columbia; in Ten
nessee. When the war commenced t its
enemies predicted that it would be intermi
nable, as our armies could never penetrate
the Southern country ; and now, -in the
third year of the war, we are recruiting
Union armies in the Gulf-State of Alabama!
A LATE item in our Southern files, entitled
" munificent donation," tells us that " Mayor
MACBETH, of Charleston, has donated to the
Atlanta Relief Association the sum of five
thousand dollars," which, with gold at six
hundred per cent. premium, means that
Mayor MACBETU has actually donated about
sewn dollars and a kaif to the Atlanta Relief
Association! Southern munificence is a
cheap commodity.

INTERESTING- LECTIME.—Last evening,
Rev. A. L. Hitzelberger, S. J., delivered an inter.
eating lecture in St. Joseph's Church, on the subject
of the Influence of Catholicity on Civil Liberty.
The lecture was highly interesting and comprehen.
sive. It was an effort to show that the Catholic
Church had always fostered and perpetuated the
democratic, spirit in all forme of government:
Ithad always been on the side of the people against
delpetienc, and had rejected to toto the doctrine of
the divine right of kings. In the contents of Pagan
and, Christian empires the- Church favored liberal
ism and democracy. The enthusiaata might have
been carried away in some instances to become the
advocate' of a despotic - civil power, in the hope to
strengthen the apiritua2 power of religion, but the
spirit of Rome was always opposed to it.
Mr. Hitzelberger wao listeted to throughout with,
great attention.

WAsnisfoxori, Nov. 10.—Prom information which
renehed Washington tonight, the messenger leaving
the - Army of the Potomac at ten o'clock this morn

a point two miles north of Culpeper, driving , the
rebel cavalry and infantry before him.
Lee's headquarters, on Saturday s night, were be
tween Brandy Station and the Rappahannock. This
refutes the belief current in some quarters that he
had gone South to advise with Bragg.
Our army lay in line of battle all day yesterday,
but Lee declined to accept the issue .of an engage.
ment.
Snow fell yesterday afternoon, along the- line of;
the mountains, covering the peaks of the Blue

day afternoon.
Last night he discovered a. large area of camp
fires south of the Rapidan, between RSCOODEL Ferry
and Rapidan Station, on the railroad. No 'fires of
magnitude were discovered in and around Culpeper.
.Thin leads to the inference that Lee declined to
rick a general engagement in the open fielk and has
withdrawn his forces, except a rear guard, to his
former strong pocition.
All the evidenee tends to, prove that Gen. Meade
has again out-generaled Lee, by leading him to be
lieve that it was the intention to, mq,ve down the
neck to Fredericksburg, thus inducing the latter to
weaken the front here to strengthen that.

A gentleman, who arrived here to-night, says that
our line of battle erotsed the Orange and Alex

MORE STORES FOR THE UNION PRI
SONERS AT RICHICOND.—Upon the strength of a te
legram from Gen. Meredith, agent for exchange
at Fort Monroe, and a letter from Major Mul
ford, assistant agent, both of which have been pub
lished, stating they had reason to believe that goods
sent to our men in the Richmond prisons would be
faithfully delivered to them, the United States
Christian Commission sent forward yesterday twen
ty.three boxes of clothing, stores, medicines, and
reading matter.
This is the second instalment of goods sent to
Richmond by the Commission, the first having al
ready reached its destination. The contents of the
boxes sent yesterday are valued at over one thou
sand dollars. In view of the intelligence from Rich
mond, published yesterday, that our men have had
their meagre beet ration cut off, the Commission sent
one hundred dollars' worth of condensed beef.
This one thousand dollars! worth of stores will
not be a mouthful to onc.half of our prisoners in
Richmond. The Commission is anxious to relieve
the necessities, at least, of every Union prisoner in
Richmond. To do this would require at least ten
thousand dollars to begin with, and even this would
not be a dollar to every man, whereas it, would take
at least twenty dollars to each one - to Supply their
necessities.
Now, the ease of these men in Richmond is one
which addressee itself most powerfully to every
man who has a heart to feel They have lived
miserably heretofore, and now that their scanty
rations are cut down, it will be with tbe utmost did),
nutty that they will be able to maintain existence.
Cannot he patriotic citizens of Philadelphia put
such an amount of money into the treasury of the
Commission as will enable them at once to send our
brave, .suffering heroes something which will make

MEETING-,OF SAFETY YIIND DEPOSITORS.
—Last night a large meeting of the depositors of
the gigantic swindle, known as the "National Safety
Insurance and Trust Company," was held at the
Hall of the United States Hose Company. The ob
ject of the meeting was to ascertain what measures
bad been taken to secure justice at the hands of the
company, and to devise means to compal a payment
of part, at least, of the money stolen from them.
Captain John (?'Riley presided, and mint' pro
jests were proposed, none of which, however, were
of the most practical •or pointed ;Character. In
truth, the depositors scarcely know what course to
pursue,, all„their previous -efforts having almost
failed. They , are, however, determined, and like
men seffering under a heavy penalty evince an en
thusiasm and spirit which nothing will be permitted
to dampen. It was stated that large sum of money
had already been paid over by the company to a
certain lawyer of Philadelphia; that be might dis
tribute it among the depositors pro rata.
',they are clamorous to knew why this has not
been paid, and vengeacee was vowed against the
person mentioned. The meeting presented to a
disinterested beholder a scene fitted to Dill forth the
warmest sympathy. It was composed of working
men and women, fathers of needy families, and
elderly persons, who, a few years ago, had 661.130 to
feel content that they were beyond the reach of
dreary want. They ask only for what is their own,
that which it took them many days of hard toll, and
perhaps manylKeepless nights to accumulate. Is
there no justice for the poor and unfortunate duped

NIA Jorrae,—Thet publio does not seem to be general

young tragedienne, who visits us entirely free from
the odium of puffery end almost unheialded. No
illegitimate • attempts Wive been stole to press
the sympathies of the Public into service before
hand. Miss Avonla Jones enters into an en
' gagement with the manager of the Chestnut
street Theatre. She appears in a moot arduous
i&le, in which to fail is to pronananoe an anathema
upon ong's self. We have to say that she brenecess
ful, anti that it now belongs to one eltizensie give
her the sopport she so richly merle'. Somehew or
other, in her passionateness particalarly and her
favorite attitudes, she reminds us of Gazzanta,
though more captivating, because of youth and gomi
looks, than that artist. Her chief expression lien
around her mouth ; fent'her eyes are likewise capa
ble of intensely glancing. with black and sinister as
well as warm and loving emotions. The manner in
whkah love, exultation,-and revenge gather them
eelvre up and look forth from her eyes is remarkable.
Philadelphia will endorse Zia opinion.
It [seems a long time ranee we first saw the
name of Miss - AVanireJorrea - in the columns' of Cali
fornia papers. Sian then we learn that she has "
visited Anatralis mad Englasd; and we gather from.
London papers tidings of her traccesa. It has
likewise been a long - time` since - the tragic play of
Medea was well produced here; If our memory
serves aright, Miss Havenporkprodoced it five years
ago, at the old Walnuteslreet - Theatre, but was not
nearly so ouccessful as in her delineation of more
natural and modern, less- impasetoned and antique
characters: Miss Daveriporthe Medea was an
adaptation from the French. by a Mr. 0.
C-' Wyman. The subject was a favorite with
the ancient • authors, Euripides laving spent
great pains upon it, and Seneca herdly lees. In later
times Corneille touched the subject up, though. he •
cannot have felt overpleased at being himself
touched up by Voltaire,. Some tea or twelve years
ago. M. Legouvd furniahed Ractieliwith the drama
tis persorer of a- Medea which he probably thought
Worthy of his talents. Raoliel,.Whol like many other
aucceesful actresses, was excessirsly capricious and
imperious, preferred forfeiting a considerable• aum
of money'to performing in a character she did not
like. She. probably thought gold a sufficient salve
for wounded feelings, and probably the author
thought co too. Whether had rival, Ristori,
labored under this delueion, wedonot know.
!'be character of Medea, if we look at it
only through the spectacle, of the present
century, is unnatural, and hidecua eunuch. We
must flame our noses the eye glasses of a couple
of thousands of yeara ago, and look at Medea through
them. Without being ready to. ondorse Miss Avo.
nia Jones as a great tragedienne, we are willing to
accord her several nualities which may go towards
ma kiag her one. S.hnhas se penetrative, a " perfo
rating" eye, a striking, well-formed, stagnface, and
a knowledge of stage effect. Although the audience
on Monday eveningwas.net crowded, she was re
ceived with enthueiasm, and tumialtuously applaud
ed,..et the end of the first - and third acts. Her prin
cipal eueiliarimemay be dispoaed of in a few words.

Miss Fanny Brown, as Emma, The only disadvan
tage of the former is.that of belonging to the line of
Incapable., and the only adeantages of the latter
are pretty epee, an amiable eountenance, and nicely
brushed•haie. With these the support of PCBs Avce
nia Jones' egins and ends.
The principal obisotion. to the "Soldiers, Corin
thians, etm," is that they are ridiculous, especially
when they about out something which sounds like
heigbo t-,-ui if they wore tired with the little they
have to do, and wished it over. Some of the scenery
was very funny, the Statue which represented Sa
turn bolding upsidedown an infant phenomenon
who looks as though he had been shut out from
dying of water on the brain by a timely rush of
blood there, in consequence of his uncomfortable
position.
We feel assured that the audiences of Miss Avo-
Elia Jones will continue to grow. In the first
passages of the first act she awakened no sensation,
because there was none to be awakened—at least
none that was demonstrative. In her declaration
of her passion for Jason, and in her appeal to her
children, she was thrillingly in earnest. So far as
we are able to judge, she excels in everything which
appeals to the strongest, if the most common,
passions of the soul. When her talent is not borne
along upon the whirlwind of passion, she carries on
a continuous quietness which seems almost to ap
proach apathy. But in the fierceness of her in
vective she is very good. She tells the story
of her wrongs with all the mad impatience
of which language is capable. We have said
she has a good eye, a noble cast of countenance,
a deep and telling voice. She makes no effort to
create a sensation merely for the sake of creating
one, and is so unobtrusively natural in many minor
incidents, that the unobservant are not disposed - to
give her credit for all the fire which she possesses.
A yoting, ambpious woman, possessing good looks
and much talint, she is destined to hold a foremost
position upon the American stage. Medea is a r6le
she has played over and over again. Medea has the
wisdom of the serpent, but not the harmlessness
of the dove. Her mythological character is that
of a very intellectual sorceress, who is yet fool
enough to fall in love with a certain Jason. Jason
deserts her for Creusa (which the play-bills pertina
ciously persisted in spelling Creusa), and Medea, in
revenge, amiably kills Creusa, murders the two sons
of herself and Jason, and finally commits suicide.
This is the substance of the plot.
The confidential chorus, whose chief duty on the
ancient stage was to receive and deal out news,
wholesale and retail, was dispensed with on this oc
casion. This chorus must have been a kind of in
voluntary Paul Pry. In the original, when Medea is
about to kill her children, she goes and tells the
chorus all about it. The chorus begs her not to do
if, but the does. All through the play everybody
pours his troubles into the sympathizing ears of the
chorus, and the chorus forthwith proceeda to tell
everybody all about it. By this means a general
understanding is attained. Every well-regulated
person must regard Medea with some alight disappro
bation, and yet, somehow or other, she comes to be
regarded in the light of an injured woman. -
If Mica Avonia Jones has ever taken the trouble
to read the opinions of the London press, she must
feel in a state of much bewilderment in regard to
herself, and wonder who abe really is. The Loudon
press describes her as being so many people at once
that a slight confusion ensues in the distinction of
which is which. For instance, the Daily Telegraph
says " she has a commanding presence"—an opinion
which is strenuously supported by the comments of
the Times upon "the, by no means commanding form of
Miss Jones." This is making assurance doubly sure
indeed. The Standard comes to the conclusion that
she "has a line, if not absolutely a commanding
figure." The Morning Post, after sitting in judg ,
went upon her, talks of her "face being hand
some and thoughtful, her figule 'more than com
mon tall.'" The Sunday Times sticks to its con
viction, that "though not tall, her presence is com
mas, ding." The Dispatch puts her above Miss Cush.
man, and speaks of her " coramandingperson!' What
Miss Avonia Jones thinks of herself when she wakes
up in the morning, and finds herself thus famous, is
beyond imagination. She is short and tall, com
manding and just so-so, all in the same breath.
What is .a hard.working, ambitious young lady to
do 'I If the newspapers won't tell the truth, who
will? All these differences of opinion can't be owing
to differences in opera-glasses, or to differences be
tween stockholders and editors. Their lordships
could scarcely have quarrelled over their lorgnettes.
We shall not give a detailed description -of Miss
Jones. If we had not seen her, and had read the
opinions of the Loneon press, we should not know
what to know; for we are to d in one paper that
her Medea is not "a fine statuesque performance ;"
,_another, that - she produces statuesque effects;"
in Brother, that her attitudes have a sculpturesque
beauty of design; in another, that "her points are
made without close preparation;" that her voice
is " not powerful," is a "little wanting in depth," and
that at the same time this phenomenon of a voice is
of "such superb capacity that it can range through all
exprosions, from those of the profoundest grief to
the wildest fury." It is enough to take away the
breath of Miss Jones, or any one else, to read all
this stuff .
One is almost disposed to ask—were these
notices really printed in London papers? and if so,
What were they ever clipped out, stuck together, re
printed, and distriblited fort We recommend the
public to go and see Miss Jones and make - up its
own mind about her. If it likes deep tragedy it will
fin d_it performed in the person 9f Miss Avonia
Jones, to its heart's content.
Next to the character of Medea, that of Orpheus
OIL Dubois) was well performed. He looked and
acted the character. The children, (Lycaon and
Melancthus we think their names are) in the play
have light hair, probably because Jason and Medea
have dark, and one Of the twins was half a head taller
than the other. In conclusion, and to return again
to Miss Avonia Jones, she has made a decidedly
favorable impression ; and we do not remember ever
to have heard so large a quantity of applause from
so small a quantity of audience. Through the edit
gagement the 'New Chestnut will be exceedingly
well attended.
WALNUT. STREET TEMATRE.—Miss Mary Provost
will appear to-night in one of her best characters.
The lady's success in Nell Gurynne will doubtless be
repeated. But in addition to this -- attraction,. the
Walnut has now that of a singularly interesting
troupe of gymnasts and dancers. The Arabs have
invaded Philadelphia,' and taken it gloriously by
storm. •
The Arabs are twelve in number, and have quail
ties as diverse as their names. They, appear
nightly in performances whioh are really good
and interesting and strange. If the Bedouins are
in the habit of doing such bewildering things in
the desert, then it must be a very delightful
place for the wonder-lover. It is said that
these Sheikhs are all Mahomedans, and read the
Koran every evening before they go on the stage.
Perhaps they are practising in this life for that
dangerous journey which all true believers in the
Prophet must take in the next, and we do not think
any of them are in danger of falling off the slender
hair bridge by which they. must cross to Paradise.
The Arabs ought to be seen by all who delight in
the marvellous. We shall be sorry when they fold
their tents, as Longfellow says the Arabs are in the
habit of doing, and silently steal away. But these
particular Sheikhs do not fold their tents, but bring
down the house instead.

Mn, BEECHEN PROM A SCOTCH POINT OF VIEW.—
The English correspondent of the New York Vribune
thus speaks of a criticism on Henry Ward Beecher
by a Scotchman whom he met in the cars :
" ye r y recently I journeyed some distance by rail
way with a Scotch commercial traveller; who hail
beard Mr. Beecher at Manchester, and was enthu
siastic in praising him in the most unmistakable
Bigh Fileshire. 'Eh, mon ! he was joost gran , I , he
said, he gart me tingle fra , the, tap of my head to
my tams ! Ye must ha' brew meenietere if he's a fair
sample of 'um P Itold him, as I very honestly might,
that though a botanist would probably classify the
subject of, our conversation as 'single,' that the
American pulpit compared to the British one was
as a living tree to dead wood, and that very few
Englishmen but would Admit it after a Visit tl the
