Wher• 111 venom! interested in sewing mnehlnet are In
rated to Mid 'mumble this wonderful Mauldin.
It has been the object of the FLORRNOR SEWING
eIfACRINE COE.PARY to supply a machine free from
the objectione attached to other Bret-class machines, and
ester the patient, untiring labor of years and a liberal
expenditure of capital in securing the first mechanical
;gent, their efforts have been crowned with success and
they are now offering to the public the MOST PERFECT
SEWINO MACRIZE IN. THE WORLD. Among its
zany advantagea over all other machines, may be mem-
Aoned :
let. It makes /our different stitches on one and the
sums machine, each stitch being perfect and alike on
soth aides of the fabric.

2d. Cfhonging from one kind of stitch to (moat,' , as
wall ae the lemrih of the ,ditch, can readily be done while
he machine is in motion.

BroeWetitel4 Jurfeet in ilea)", making tha seam
secure and uniform, combining elasticity, stronifth and
'scanty.
4th. It has the revert/We feed motion, which enables
she operator to run the work to either the right or left,
sr stay any part of the seam, or fasten the ends of seams
without turtling the fabric or stopping the machine.
SUL It is the most rard'd gainer in the world, making
Eve stitches to each revolution, and there is no other
machine which will do so large a rause of work as the

Nelis of Literature.
Carleton, the New York publisher, announces a
new novel, entitled " Was He Successful," by
Richard B. Kimball, author of "Saint Leger," and
"Under Currents," popular tales, and editor of a
very interesting eketeh of an American's first year
of labor as a settler in St. Domingo, called "In the
Tropics." Me. Carleton - is about issuing an en
tirely new and uniform, edition of -all Mr. Kim
ball's works. The hero of his new novel is a sharp
country lad, who settles down in New York as a
crafty and enterprising merchant ; country life and
city experience are thus represented.
"The - Life of Jane," from -the French of M.
Ernest Renan, of which 100000 copies were Bold in
Paris, is promised by Carleton ; so are "The Cen
tral Park," illustrated by photographs ; " Peculiar,"
a novel by Epes Sargent, of which, we believe, a
contraband is the- hero ; Louie, Last Term,"
by the author of " Routledge ;" a new work
by T. S. Arthur, entitled "Light on Shadowed ,
Paths ;" and a new poem, by Edmund C. Sted
man, called "Alice of Monmouth; an Idyl of
the War." From . some sources, which we have
ever found reliable, we anticipate that, in thin ens
tamed poem, Mr. Stedman, who has hitherto only
tinted with the Muses, will here show himself a
poet, true and thoughtful, His subject has mush
variety. The incidents range from love scenes and
13 rice in Monmouth county. New Jersey, to the bat•
tie. fields end hospitals of Virginia. Here, in an-
ticipation, is a word•picture of the tented field by
night :
Like an efUuent, royal town, the =miner camps
Of a hundred thousand men are stretani away.
At night, like roultitudin‘T.: city'lamps,
Their n' .mess watch-fires beacon, clear and atilt,.
And a glory beans from the zenith lit _
With lurid vapors that over its star-lights flit ;
But wreaths of opaline cloud o'erhans, by day,
The crystal.pointed tents, from hill to hill,
From vale to vale—until
The heavens on endless peaks their curtain lay.
A magical city I
On Mlle Wtien within Flur sight
To-Inorrow, as at the waving of a wand,
'Tents, guidons, bannerols, are moved afar—
Rising elsewhere, as risen a morning star,
Or the dream of Aladdin's palace in fairy land.
Here, too, is a lyric, with the true ring of the metal
in it:

The Gettysburg National Cemetery.
Numerous inquiries are daily being made with
respect to the dedication of the Soldiers' Cemetery
at Gettysburg. For the information of our readers
we print the following copy of a letter addressed to
Governor Curtin : _
GETTYSBURG, Nov. 7, 1863.
To his Excellency A. G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsyl-
„ .
SIR In accordance with previous arrangements I
invited proposals for the disinterment and burial of
the toldier dead on the Gettysburg battle-field, and
awarded the contract to Mr. F. H. Biesecker, the
lowest bidder. for $1.59 per body, for the whole
work, as set forth in the specifications, of which you
have a copy. • The contractor commenced the work
on the 2ath ult., and - has been removing about sixty
bodies daily. It is done with the greatest care, and
under the strictest supervision, so as to avoid the
possibility of an'error in the marked graves.
The preparatory arrangements for the consecration
of the cemetery grounds have been completed. At
your suggestion, and upon consultation with repre
emitatives from the other States, I have extended-an ,
invitation to the President and Vice President of
the United States, and the members of the Cabinet,
to participate in the exercises on the 19th inst.
have also invited Lieutenant General Scottand Ad
miral Charles Stewart, the distinguished and time
honored representatives of the army and navy.
I have sent' an invitation to Major General
Meade, and, through him, to the officers and privates
of the Army of the Potomac, to be present, and
unite with us in doing honor to this last resting
place of their brave comrades. It seems Su me very
desirable, and peculiarly fitting and. appropriate,
that the living comrades of those who nobly fell on
this battlefield, made. gloriously victorious through
their valor and blood, should be represented here;
and I have taken the liberty to suggest to the com

Patriotfsm and Courage.
To the Editor of The Press
Stu: The present war being carried on by the
Northern people for the purpose of saving the life
of the Government and Republic and maintain its
integrity, and, therefore, offering opportunities for
patriotism to display itself most advantageously,
it behooves us to record every inetance of patriotism
and courage that*cornes within our sphere of ob
servation. It must be our pride to know that
posterity may look upon us with pleasure, and may
think our deeds worthy of imitation. With this
view, I will relate one or two instances of patriotism
and courage,. which I can vouch for; since they
have occurred under my observation, and which
are worthy of imitation.
When the President issued his proclamation for
115.000 volunteers upon the foul assault upon Fort
SUmpter. I was prompted to raise a company, and
among -the first that came to enrol themselves was
an old man whose looks betrayed a feeble and broken
down constitution. I urged him to pause and ponder
well before he would take such a step. But he was
determined to enlist, saying, 4' I have lived so long
in the enjoyment of the blessings that our Govern
ment bestows upon us, and now I wish to pay the
debt I owe." That man was one of the best mem
bers of the company ; always cheerful, and inspiring
the rest with courage. Heavy marching, however,
be could not stand, and therefore he was allowed to
straggle along at his leisure. While the army was
. marching from Bunker Hill to Charlestown, he was
thus straggling. When about midway between
the two places, and when nearly on the top of
a bill, we were halted and ordered to keep well in
ranks, Before us were sign. of an engagement. I-.
was going back to see that all the stragglers were
brought 'up and well in ranks, when I saw the old,
moldier sitting under a tree, partaking of• some
"hark tack." I stepped up and asked him why he
wee not in the ranks'? "Please don't be so hard on
me," said he, "you know I cannot get along march
ing in that way." I know that, I replied, and Ido
not require to force you to be in the ranks on the
march, but now, when there is an -engagement im
-
minent, I desire you to be. there, " What ! will
there he a tightt," Yes! "Then,'by Jehovah, I
am in,”' said he, grasping his musket and stepping
ever to hie place in the ranks. What a noble ex-
ample to' those who were at the same time trem
bung with fear ! and I think the example was not
lost.
When Gen. Cadwalader's division of Gen. Pat
terson's army was encamped at Williamsport, IVId.,
a few days after its return from an incursion into
Berkeley county, Virginia, the company to which I
was attached received orders to report for picket
duty.-- In due time we reported, and received orders
to picket the river front. Small bodies of rebels be
longing to Jackson's command were hovering upon
the opposite shore, but made no demonstrations of
any kind, While we were engaged in posting the
sentinels another party of men came in detached
parties, and informed us that they were to take sta
tion as inside pickets along the towpath of the ca
nal. They were apparently, however, withoutein
structions, and therefdre acted independently of the
commeeder of the picket. About ten o'clock in the
evening these men, discovering some of the regular
pickets on the river bank, making some necessary
movements, tired upon them. Immediately the firing
extended along the whole line for the distance of half
a mile. The whole army was aroused and quickly
On the move. It became apparent that we, who
were stationed near the bridge spanning the canal;
• were in danger of being fired upon by mistake, if
timely- notice was not given to the-general of our
whereabouts and of the , true cause of the alarm. I,
therefore, notified the captain of my intention to go
back to camp to set matters to rights, and he gave
his approval. Illy shortest road lay through the
town, where I noticed the greatest confusion. Peo
ple were locking up the houses, and, with bundles
• on their backs, were wending their way toward
Hagerstown and Greencastle. Among all that
confused crowd, I-met an old man with hair as
white as the drifted snow, and stooped shoulders,
. apparently past seventy years of age. -He was
armed with a rifle, and evidently going,toward the
river front. When he saw me he accosted me:
" Officer, where are we wanted-I tell us, and we will
be at our poste."
I replied to him by assuring him of the absence of
any danger, and asking him to return home and call
back the fugitives to their quiet homes. I hurried
on to do my duty, but the image of that old Mary
land patriot still lingers in my memory. There were
more of that band in that town, but none more pa
triotic I trust to assert, than that old, white-headed
man. I am, sir, respectfully yours,

THE SOUTHWEST,
Success of an Expedition Sent out by Gen.
lloolter—The Late Fight at Waultateltie.
[Special Despatch to the New York Tribune. ]
WASHINGTON, Tuesday Nov. 10,1863.—Fr0m Chat
tanooga we learnthat an expedition of the 143 d New
York and 26th Wisconsin Regiments of General
Schures division, 11th Corps, under. Lieutenant
Colonel Aemuesen, of General Howard's staff, went
up a branch railroad, from Shell Mound to Gordon's
coal mines, and recaptured a locomotive and two
freight cars, which the rebels thought they had se
creted there: In order to get the cars down it be
came necessary to build a bridge 123 feet long and
100 feet.high on the line of the railroad, which was
accomplished in three days, and the engine and cars
safely brought over, By this means the railroad on
the south side of the Tennessee was again opened as
far as running waters, and transportation gained for
supplies.
I have to record an extraordinary episode that oc
curred during the battle. Some two hundred mules,
parked near General Hooker's lines, broke loose
and charged furiously across the field toward where
a Georgia regiment was stationed. Thinking it was
cavalry, or, something else, the regiment broke in
confusion and ran, leaving , one thousand Enfield
rifles et the beet description behind them, which

ORDER COMPLIMENTARY TO GEN. SMITH—THE
CHATTANOOC4A, Nov. I.—To say that this army
now receives its supplies from Bridgeport by the
river, with a short distance of wagon hauling, and
that the time is less than 24 hours between. Bridge
port and Chattanooga, is to state a most important
fact. One feature of the fact is, that the time be
tween the two places has been reduced from ten
days and two weeks even, to a single day. Another
is, that a steamer at a single trip will transportmore
supplies than one thousand wagons could in four
months, over the route over which the army was he-
fore supplied! These are but two features of the
case—sufficiently striking, I conclude, to illustrate
the importance of the change in the mode or supply
ing this army, and to show the value of Gen. Win.
F. Smith's splendid movement„ which resulted in
cutting out Lookout Mountain, and seizing Brown's
Ferry, and practically giving us the river before
Hooker came up.
The following complimentary order explains
itself
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT CUMBERLAND,

The water in the Tennessee rose higher last night
than it has been since the occupation of Chatta

bridge, but they have failed to accomplish anything.

Hooker's forces in the valley, but with no effect.
Lookout itself is in a tight place, and gives daily
signs of uneasiness.
- General Grant 118 e so far recovered as to be able
to sit on his horse as gracefully as ever.
The rebels in front, with the exception stated,
are very quiet. It is believed that Bragg's entire
force is about 45,000 men, and that his line extends
at least one hundred miles—reaching far up toward
the headwaters of the Tennessee, and into Georgia
far enough to extend his line the distance named.
Of course the larger part of his force is within sup
porting distance of his line, encircling Chattanooga.
Lately, however, it is thought he has been sending
bodies of troops up the river, perhaps to assume the
ofinsive in Eastern Tennessee against Burnside.
THE REBEL STATES,
A Tribute to Mr. Chase's Financial Abill
tics—Messra. G. B. Lamar and Fernando
Wood Anathematized:
FEDERAL AND CONFEDERATE FINANCES CON
FARED.
[From the Richmond Examiner.
The slow depreciation of Federal currency is one
of the most remarkable phenomena of this extraor
dinary war. Contrasting the market prices of Con
federate with those of the Federal money gives a low
opinion of Mr. Hunter's, compared with Mr. Chase's
financial abilities. We console ourselves for the ap
parent disparity of financial ability between the two
peoples, as communities, by reflecting that ours were
wholly agricultural, quite unpractised and unskilled
in the art of finance ; while, with our commarcial an
tagonists, it had long been a subject of anxious and
successful study. Giving little thought to the sub
ject since hostilities began, our people—even our
best legislators—reposed in the belief that the South
possessed one or two great financial statesmen, with
genius fully equal td the financial emergency ; and
it is only recently that they have discovered their
confidence has been signally . misplaced. •
The causes which have depreciated Confederate
currency are well' knowo, and it is equally well
known that they might have been, to a great extent,
avoided. This depreciation is no ground of despon
dency, for France did not enter upon her career of
glory and triumph against a whole world in arms
until after a total ruin of her financial system.
The circumstances and expedients by which a
similar depreciation in Federal money_has been
avoided are not well known in the South, owing to
our imperfect knowledge of actual occurrences at the
North, but they may be yet inferred with a reason.
able degree of accuracy. * * *
Rut it is not to be denied that the Federal Seare
tary of the Treasury has conducted the finances
of his Government with consummate ability. To
check the speculation in specie, and to. crush all
adventurous gambling at the Stock Exchange, he
has constantly kept fifty millions of gold in the
hands of skilful operators in Wall street to "Bear , '
the market at the first symptoms of every merely
speculative rise. With this powerful regulator con
stantly steadying it is impossible for gold to rise,
except from the inevitable effect of supply and de
mand. Indeed, the effect of so heavy an amount of
capital brought to bear upon one point, and that the
financial centre of the North, is to keep gold at an
abnormal price: several per cent. - below its legiti
mate value. .
But there are other expedients, very effective,
which Mr. Ghase brings into requisition to restrain
the depreciation of his treasury notes. He diligently
avoids the policy of paying out notes of currency in
discharge of every obligation of the Government.
Why ohould a...contractor, having a claim upon the
treasury of a hundred thousand or a million of dol
lars; be paid in circulating notes'? Very often he,
would prefer to receive payment in bonds at once ;
and this choice might have been enforced by making
it an article Of his contract that he should receive
bonds rather than notes of circulation. So a
quartermaster, going to a farmer for corn and forage
to the amount of a few hundred dollars, might have
instructions to give an order upon some depository
of the treasury for bonds rather than be required to
pay" - for every purchase, however considerable, in
notes of circulation. Contracts for heavy supplies
of clothing, or other materiel, might also be made,
securing twelve months or other time to the Go
vernment in making payment ,• a credit only desira
ble in so far , as it postponed the evil day of-still
further inflating the currency by continual floods of
treasury notes:
All these expedients, and many others of similar
character looking to the same object, have been se
dulously practised by the Federal Secretary of the
Treasury. - Re has run up a great debt without com
mensurately flooding the North with a redundant
currency. The consequence has been very marked;
for, 'whereas the :Federal war debt exceeds two thou
sand millidps of dollars,
and that of the Confedera.
cy has not reached one-thousand millions, yet the
Confederate currency is at a discount of ten or
twelve for one on gold, while the Federal currency
is at less than two for one.'
-
Prices of all things have risen at the North in con
sequence of an inflated currency; but, inasmuch as
this inflation has been wonderfully restrained by tact, in
genuity, and skill, prices have not approximated the enor
mous rates 'which arc prevalent at the South. As it is
lawful to learnavhatever may be possible from an
enemy, may we not hope that Mr. Memminger and
Mr. Hunter will take a few hints of the practical
departments of finance from such consummate
adepts in this intricate business as the public
enemy'?
MESSRS. G. B. LAMAR. AND FERNANDO 'WOOD.
The letter of Mr. G. B. Lamar to Fernando Wood,
proposing a joint stook blockade. running underta
king, which first saw the light in the columns of the .
Times, has been republished in the Southern papers,
and has created great excitement. The Richmond
EXOMinfT of Nov. 2 says :
This letter was republished in many other South
ern papers, but with scarcely more expression of in
terest in it than probably a curious forgery, copied
from Yankee journal. To the consternation, how
ever, of Mose, who were ready to suggest a de
fence for one of the aristocratic money-kings of the
Cotton States, Mr. G. B. Lamar has, with a bare
faced audacity that neither wealth, position, nor the
native impudence of vulgarity can support, publish
ed an acknowledgment in the Savannah papers that\
the letter is entirely genuine, and attempted a deft.
ance not only of public sentiment, but of the laws of
his country, and those of honor and civilization
everywhere. * * *
The letter of G. -B. Lamar, which we have quoted
above, is of far more importance than any personal
Junes which be may choose to make out of it. It is
a melancholy instance of the infirmity of a certain
class in the South. That ohms is composed of cer
tain heavy eapitalisto, chiefly in the cotton States,'
'rich by accident, but of a waren, greedy nature, who,
at the beginning of this war, were for monopolizing,
all the patriOtiapt of the country, and tlirlous in etkl•
waiting hostilities, who now, when the beat portion:
of our people are fighting to defend them in the re
tirement of their homes, are coolly counting their
gains in the blood and tears of this war, and en
riching themselves as the convenient pimps of the
-Yankee.
This class of plutocratic pretenders is well illus.
trated by G. B. Lamar ; in public, the incandescent
patriot, but in reality the copartner of Fernando
Wood, and the proposer of a bribe to Seward out or
the profits of a treasonable commerce, and one de
clared infamous by all international. law. This same
man who writes to Fernando Wood - of the charm
ing vision of "300 to 600 per cent'? profit on their
mutual violation of the laws of war, and the obliga
tions ofpatriotism and honor, was,. if we are cor
rectly informed, President of a Vigilance Committee
in Savannah to prevent the exportation of cotton,
and gave such evidence of zeal in this capacity as
on one occasion to prevent a steamer—the Bermuda.
—from taking out cotton, although the cargo she
had Brought in was Government stores. But the in
sincerity of the bogus patriot does not stop here.
Ever since the letter• to Fernando Wood was writ
ten, and. while it was supposed , to be quite safe in
the inviolable secrecy of a partnership in guilt, we
find the same G. B. Lamar, on the occasion of a
canvass for the Legislature, expressing, in one•of
the papers of Savannah, the following heroic senti
ment:
"I don't own a wharf in the city that I would
not srLoner sacrifice altogether than that the infernal
Yankfita (now waging the most savage warfare
against us, and using the scum of Europe, of all
their own large cities, as well as their Billy Wilson
regiment of convicts, to kill and destroy our moat
valuable citizens, as they have done and are doing,)
should ever be allowed to enjoy any right or privi
lege within this State."
There is no exception here from the infernal
Yankees of my dear sir. the Hon. Fernando Wood,
and apparently an entire forgetfulness of that little
pi itillege which the said F. Wood was to have in
consideration of half profits. Really the case of G.
B. Lamar as one of sham patriotism and asinine
pretension to the heroic .virtues, would be higely
amusing, if the case did not also have its Berton')
aspects as a deliberate injury of our cause, a viola
tion of law, and an illustration of- depravity in a
class in the \ South blown with the insolence of
wealth and occupied in this war with its own sel
fishness and conceit. It is in some of these aspects
that the case of Dlr. Lamar not only engages the
public sentiment ; but requires the interposition of
the authorities. and their vindication, through pro-
Bess of law, of the gravest interest to the country.

RETURN :OP DAVIS TO RICHMOND.
It is reported that the President will return to the
Confederate metropolis this evening, after a trium
phal tour in the Southwest. Hie presence has been
hailed with joyful entknalaem at every noiet visited
during nle ExtenSiVe tout. At Atlanta, Montgo
mery, Mobile, and especially at Charleston, and in
the vicinity of Chattanooga, he received ovations
which only an affectionate people can render a glo-
rious and victorious saviour. His visit has-been of
incalculable benefit to the people, and to General
Bragg. He has inspired new life, courage and hope
everywhere, and among all classes. The bare sight
of his sad, worn, attenuated features has drowned
the voice of faction, and aroused the, warmest pa

NEWSPAPER CORRESIBiNDENTS IN RICHMOND.
George H. Bert and L. A. Hendrick, correspond
ents of the New York freraill, who were captured by
Mosby in a recent raid, have' arrived at °cella Than
der, and are now enjoying the company of their con
frkres, Brown, Richardson, Beasley, Bavenwoodi
and Schloss.
From all accounts, the latter gentlemen have been
making themselves comfortable and gay during tkeir
confinement, and if it will afford consolation to the
Government to know that its "enemy bath written
a book," they, have indulged theirliterary predileo
liens to the, extent of a large manuscript volume,
illustrated with pereand.ink sketches of illustrious
tories and distinguished scoundrels.
The material abounds in the Osatle for any amount
of romance and caricature, and if these gentlemen
are as versatile and industrious as they have been
unfortunate, they will certainly be able to make a
decided "good thing" of it.
STRAITENED CONDITION OP THE ALABAMA. REBELS.
A Huntsville (Ala.) correspondent of the Mont.
gomery Mail, giving a report of a recent Federal
expedition into that region, says
"Limestone and most of Madison counties were
completely scoured and swept elear of horses and
mules, cattle, sheep, poultry, hogs, meal, flour, Inc.
Two or three thousand horses and mules were taken
in these counties—citizens, farms, plantations, '&c.,.
thoroughly stripped.
"The loss to this section is very heavy, and the
injury far greater than we ever have experienced,
for eve are now lees able to bear it. Before, we have
lost of 'our abundance—this time, nearly all of our
working 'stock. We have had, this year, twenty
one visits from them. Stanley's big raid in July
swept off largely of slaves, horses, mules, Inc., and
eo did others. But we have, patched up matters
again, jigged up old wagons, new teams, Inc.
"This time all has been swept off, and our people
feel as if it is useless to try to flx, up again, even
with old wagons, broken.dow - n mules amehorses, as
all may again soon be taken by another raid. We
have not enough left now to haul and plough with,
and a tine riding or harness horse in the hands of a
citizen is a rarity, and milch-cows are worth as
much and more valued than negroes.”

Mr. Beecher's Farewell_ BrealFfast Speech
at Manchester.
Lately the Union and Emancipation Society en
tertained Rev. H. W. Beecher at breakfast, at- the
Albion Hotel, Manchester. The company included
a large number of gentlemen from the neighborhood
and worn a distance. The Mayor of Rochdale took
the chair, and there were present, among others,
Professor F. W. Newman, Mr. J. 0. Dyer, Mr. Hor
ton (Dublin), Rev. Dr. Massie, Mr. F. Taylor, Rev.
T. G. Lee, Air, Ernest Jones, Rev. Dr. Parker, do.

Coningham, M. P.; Mr. C. Robertson (Liverpool) ;
Mr. Duncan McLaren, ProfessorNewth, and Profes

Mr. J. Taylor moved a resolution expressive of
thanks and good wishes to Mr. Beecher, and symps
thy with the struggle for the maintenance o4consti
tutional Government in America.• _
Mr. Paterson, of Liverpool, seconded the resolu
tion. He regretted that Lord Brougham, the man
who claimed to be the very prince of Abolitionists,
should recently have stood up to pronounce the
words of unparalleled baseness on this question.
[Loud cheers.] It was time the Anti slavery party
should cease to be bullied even by a Lord Broug aam.
[Cheers . ] -
The resolution was passed with acclamation.
We make the following extracts from Mr. Beecher's
speech:
The London De ily News—a paper to which I should
be glad to express the great obligations of American
enizens—[cheers]—if I were not afraid it might be
employed agaiost it to diminish its influence with
Britone—["no, -no,"]—that paper, in a friendly
spirit, criticised my utterances on the Treat affair.
The writers did not epecify what were my mistakes;
but I want now to state how we Americans looked
at that-transaction-not for the purpose of putting
ourselves right and you wrong, but to ask you to
consider 'whether you would not, in our situation,
have felt as we dia. An American naval vessel, by
accident, if there be such things as accidents, over
hauled an English mail steamer, and took from it
two men who represented themselves as ambassadors
from the so-called Confederate Government to the
Courts of England and France. The tidings spread
across America as quick as lightning could flash, and
for a day or two the universal feeling was, " Here's a
stupendous joke!" Everybody laughed.. It struck
the national feeling of the comic that the embassies
of these men to St. James' and the Tuileries! should
have ended - up in Fort Lafayette [laughter] ; and
there was a feeling of immense good nature and
even jollity. After two or three days some lawyer
men began to inquire in the papers '
" What is the
law on this subject?" We began to draw down our
faces, and say, " Sure enough, there is an England,
and she will have a word to say. What,,then, is the
law ?" The reault WAS our papers began to be filled
with English precedents, and there was a universal
conviction that we had acted accordingly. [Cheers.]
That conviction is yet unchanged, and never will be
-changed, because it was the fact [(Meets.] But I
had the opportunity of knowing, from my, position,
both as a pt eacher, lecturer,and ellitor,that the feeling
of the people was, " We are going to do what is right,
now, v hatever it is. If we are in the wrong, we shall
concede this matter ; but if we are in the right, we
will not budge an inch." And the moment the infor
mation came to our shores of these facts, Mr. Seward
addressed a confidential communication- -to Mr.
Adams, instructing- him to read the same to Earl
Russell, the purport of which was, that this had not
been done with the privity or assent of the American
Government, who were prepared, on the statement
of England's wishes, to !settle this matter amicably.
The letter being confidential, Mr. Adams scrupu
lously avoided speaking ofit, it, but it leaked out,
newerthelese, that there had: been a communication
from the American Government to the English, and
everybody was asking what was its nature. This
communication having been read, I think, on the
19th December, it would _be about the 25th that the
London Post, which is supposed to be a semi-oflicial
organ, declared that there had been a communica
tion, but that it had nothing to do with the Trent af
fair, and whereas it was a communication expressly
on that, and nothing else. To this hour, that paper
has never explained nor retracted that malicious and
deliberate falsehood. [Chem s.] But even before that
message came, and. before the British Government
had heard what we had to say, orders had issued that
British troops should repair to Canada ; and the
navy and dock yards were put upon double labor.
England has never shown -want of promptness
and pluck; but. I believe you can find no other
case in English history in which a misunderstand
leg between two ships of two nations has been
treated with similar. precipitancy. As to what took
place on the other side, I am alleged to have been all
wrong when I said the American Government
showed instant disposition to make reparation, be
cause, on the ether hand, we heaped honors on Capt.
Wilkes all through the nation. When we thought
we were right, we did ; but after we found out by the
disposition of our own Government that we were
wrong, can you point me an instance in which we
undertcook, to traverse the decision by showing
attention fo Capt.' Wilkes? As to whether we did
not use all possible speed, let us see what were the
facts. Mr. Seward wrote to the English Government
Flaying we were prepared to settle the matter satis
factorily, and awaiting the English demands.
Many say we ought not to have waited, but given up
the men instantly. But there were two doctrines as to
the rights of governments over contraband of-war in
neutral vessel.% From 1807, certainly till 1813, and I
know not how much longer, the British doctrine was
that you had a right to condemn a neutral vessel
without bringing her into a prize court.: That was
the British practice down to within a few years. I
think the last recognized case—l won'tundertake to
say it is the last case—is that in which Eogland acted
on the American doctrine, when they took a Bremen
vessel and condemned her in an English court, be
cause she was bringing the crew of a wrecked Rus
sian vessel from JaPan.home. That is the first in
stance I know of, of acting on American doctrine by
the English Government or navy. Now, when Mr.
Seward wrote to Mr. Adams, he stood here : Here
ie the old British doctrine, which they have never
given up technically. and'here is the American.
Which, then, is the British Government going to
take? If their own, we have committed no offence.
If our doctrine, evidently we must wait for them'to
make their own election. I ask you, then, wasthere
nd'S a courteous and just reason for waiting till the
overture should come from the English Government,
instead of from our; as to what should be done in
the case of these men? [Cheers ] All these facts
ate perfectly known to our people, and I ask you
not to renew this old question, but to understand
that if you had been Americans you would have felt
as they felt. [Hear, hear.] Although we were much
surprised when Mr. Seward homed his decision, it
, concluded us from that moment. I do not remem
ber any newspaper in that land of newspapers; I re
member no assembly in that land of popular assem
blies ; nor any pulpit, nor any private conversation,
nor any individual that ever spoke against the deci
sion of our Government. [Cheers.] To be sure,
we hed been mistaken, and we had to turn face
about instantly. It is not a very easy thing for a
nation to turn about. [Hear ] We had assumed
this question was going to be settled on Brefer ritish pre
cedents. Mr. Seward said: " No, they p it on
our precedents; so it shall be." And the moment
we heard it we said, so it should be, no matter what
it required us to unsay or undo. [Cheers]
TIMER QUESTIONS ANSWERED
I am told there are three questions which have
been addressed to me through a Manchester paper,
w' eh have never got a straightforward answer,"
l
an 1118ot:savor to show yon what a atraightfar
ir
THREE CENTS.
ward answer is. The first question is, "Do colored
persons ever attend your church In Brooklyn?" Yes,
by scores and hundreds. [Cheers.] Second, "If so,.
where do they sit?" Wherever they can get a seat.
[Cheers end laughter.l Our church will hold but
3,000, and it is extremely diflicult for any one to get
a seat. I have said humorously, in expostulating
with our people, who are sometimes impatient of
having so little use of their pews, for which they
pay an inordinate rent, "Gentlemen, you know
very well, when you rent pews here, you pay ;Wa
fer a pew far the sake of sitting in the aisle, and
you knew it when you bought your pew." It Is ex
pressly stipulated that if a man is not in his pew to
defend it within a certain number of minutes he for
feita his right, and we have from ill to 25 active and
enterprising young men whose business it is to neat
peeple in our church, and sometimes, when there
in a public question involving great interests, the
church is thronged for hours before the door is open.
Dow, then, do you suppose wlictx-our own pew
holders have to tussle to., gqt, l ithisir seats, when
etrat gem come in an hour beforliand,And When this
has been the ease for sixteen' years , rightetraisht
along, do you suppose it is likely . trmiake the
colored people by platoons arid Wft Ardifeilp to a
ninth:unit [Laughter,] We dontt - Ztieet them any
better than we treat white-felki. [Cheers.] We
treat them just as we treat the whites. Let inn say
I have never exerted any direct influence on. this
subject; the Christian feeling and good sense of my
own parirhioners have determined their line of ac
tion, and I have never yet known an instance in
which 'a colored man wan refused a seat, if he were
properly dressed, well-behaved, and modestly asked
for one. [Cheers.] The third question was, "Have
you ever seen any colored people among your con
gregation, and would they be allowed to sit in any
pew of your church, or intermingle with your white
bearers?"- I cannot say whether they would or
would not be permitted to sit in it. If my people
were like the man who wrote these questions, they
would not be permitted to sit a moment there. That
is not a mere jibe. I will teliyou in a moment why
I make that remark. But -I have seen them, not
once, nor twice, nor fifty,_nor five hundred times.
Though we are not better than hundreds of other
churches, having been led by-acquiescence in those
great truths preached in Plymouth Church—that a
man is not whathe is on account of title, nor educa
tion, nor wealth, but because God made hint, and
loves him, and will redeem him with immortality
and glory. That broad ground has led us to feel in
sensibly more and more that a man in the house of
God is tube treated as we would treat that man on
the threshold of the judgment day. [A.pplaused

THE NEW FORK RIOTS
And in respect to that riot which took place in
New York, I declare my conviction that it was
nothing in the world but a sore made by a foreign
blister on our body—the rioters were, as a body, un
questionably Irishmen. You shall not say I am
saying this to their prejudice, because theee Eristrla
borers came to us poor and uneducated creatures,
subject to the Jr duence of men who were intelligent
above them, and they have been assiduously taught
by corrupt Americans, I am ashamed to say, that the
emancipation of the slave would take away from
them the market of labor, and bring the whole South
North, which in exactly the opposite of theltruth. that
it would take all the colored North South ; but they
have been stuffed, and under the most offensive
forms, and for the purpose of making them mischiev
ous. with these notions, and with the sting of the
draftjust about to be put on them. There was a wild,
furious uprising of the Irish people. It was very cruel
and wicked ; but so cruel and wicked a thing was
never done with so much excuse for the wicked ac
tot sas this. They were blind, ignorant, misled crea
tures, who thought they were fighting, not so much
against the blacks as against the blacks for them
selves. When Archbishop IT.ughes was called. upon
to address them, the street before the Archepleso
pal residence was alive with the crowded thousands.
His speech was reported, and he never intimated that
he thought anybody elsewas engaged but the Irish
men, whom he was blaming in his very paternal and
genrle way for doing such naughty things. [Cheers.]
But what was the conduct, on the other hand, of the
citizens of. New. York' Between $40,000 and $50 ; 000
were subscribed to relieve the wants of these peple
in - a
-few days, and a large committee was appointed
from the moat respectable merchants—erery one of
them men who have been my opponents from the
beginning, intensely Conservative, or what we call
old Hunkerieh—[laughter]—but who have had their
eyes opened by this riot, and plucked up noble-and
generous instincts—and a body of lawyers volun
teered to receive and put in legal form the com
plaints of every colored man who had lost property,
for, according to our law, the municipality is respon
sible for every cent of property damaged in a riot,
and there have been from $146,000 to $lOO,OOO involved
in the complaints already made and making, and it
has cost the colored people not one single cent.
plr. Horton asked, "Are.we to understand that
the practice in your own church is the universal
practice in American Oh no, sir ; but in regard to
that you should recollect that many of cur churches
are filled with men who are the first merchants of
New Yerk;or politiciani, and that the black man's
position is guided more by the fact that he has been
the peculiar football bandied between side and side,
and that to treat him with public attention was to
abandon a political party, and seem to show confi
dence in the other side. In the churches of New
York—though I don't undertake to say it, because my
circumstances prevent my knowing all the facts—my
impression is, there are many where the blacks
would not be received, except in a particular pew.
But the tendency has now been established, and is
every single week increasing, to receive them when
they come reputably represented in th a churches.
Dr. Mamie confirms my statement. [Cheers.]
~~ 1` ~~
Those who thought cleeisivemeatures too da.nge
roue are called Anti-Slavery ; those who were for
immediate disruption were called Abolitionists.
But now there is no distinction at all ; and Mr.
Garrison has said in public that when he declare
the Constitution involved slavery, he never ex
pected to see the Emancipation Proclamation of Mr.
Lincoln. [Applause.] There is now one over
whelming majority in the North who say: "Since
they have taken the sword, let slavery perish by
the eword ;" and then there is a small party that
lives in crevices and crack's, where dirt - breeds ver
min—a small malignant party, that are called
"Peace Democrats,; ' with that Catiline thrice.rot
ten Wood at the head of it, that the Times newspa
per is accustomed to hold up as the exponent of
American peace doctrine—wEom I have seen dan
dled in the arms and praised by the lips of Christian
men who, if they could know his crimes and vices,
and the ineffably Satanic wickedness of the man,
would blow him from their parlors as you do
Sepoys from the mouths of your cannon. [Great
cheering ] In replying to subsequent questions,
Mr. Beecher said : You must recollect - that in all
stages it was the opinion of every man who founded
the Conetitution that slavery was dying, and they
did not feel as you and I would have felt, but said :
"Ease it up in every way." Slavery was like some
brigand, brought into an Alpine Convent, where he
was given a room and a place to prepare to die in
decency, and the old brigand did not die, but called
- in the confederates, and ruled the very hospital
where he was being nursed for a Christian burial.
[Cheers.]
Mr. Beecher , a speech and answers to questions oc
cupied more than two hours.
• The meeting concluded with cheers for the Queen,
Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Beecher, Mrs. Stowe, and ",three
cheers for the United States and their -final pros

Causes of the Destitution in the South.
A letter written in April last, by L. B. Northrop,
Commissary General of the Confederate army, to
the Confederate Secretary of War, predicted the
destitution now beginning to be realized .in the
South, and gave some reasons for it litr. Northrop
said : • -
"All agree that the planters of their States evince
Co disposition to seed for more than the usual quan
tity of grain and other articles necessary for the sub
listen ce of the people and the army. Neither the
resolutions of Congress, requesting the President to
appeal to the people, nor the appeal itself, have pro
duced any visible effect. Such of the planters as
doubt the expediency of raising more cotton and to
bacco seem bent upon clearing up new lands instead
of tilling those now fit for cultivation. In riding by
rail from Milledgeville to this point, I passed, as you
are aware, through one of the best corn districts is
Georgia, and not one acre in fifty, as I FM assured
by my own observationeland the reports of travellers
on the road, is being prepared, for raising that indis
pensable article. or other products, requisite for the
subsistence of man and beast. It is lamentable that
the people are so deaf to the appeals of their repre
sentatives, and so blind to their own interests. It
is obvious that something mug be done immediately,
or both the people and army must starve next win
ter. This is en alarming reflection, but it is fully
warranted by the situation. Now is the time to
avert the impending danger. A few days more, and
it Will be too late. •
"Tbe wheat harvests, it is easy to see and learn
from a trip through the country, will not be half as
bountiful as we have anticipated; and the belief into
which the Government has been led that there are
large quantities of bacon in many parts of the coun
try is erroneous. The inventory ordered by O-over
nor Brown, of the bacon and live stock in Georgia,
of which you have by this time probably received a
copy, shows the wellnigh exhausted condition of
that State, and yet, beyond peradventure, it is leas
nearly exhausted than any other State in the Con
federacy. It will, therefore, be no easy matter to
keep our armies in the field without causing suffering
among the people till the harvests are gathered next
autumn. Prom that time we shall be entirely de
pendent on those harvests, and that they may be
rendered adequate to our wants, I unhesitatingly
recommend the adoption of the third plan suggested
by - eneral Bragg, for the Government to take pos
session of the plantations, or such portions of them
as the owners do not intend to seed with grain, &C.,
and employing the negroes belonging thereto in
raising such agricultural products as may be deem
ed necessary. Officers and soldiers who have been
rendered by wounds and disease unfit for further
service in the field, Gould be employed as superin
tendents and overseers?,
Bragg'a scheme was not adopted, and now hog and
hominy are scarce.
AN OLD DESCRIPTION OF MODERN COPPER.
ERA - ea.—ln one of the speeches made during the
last war with Great Britain, by Felix Grundy, of
Tennessee, occurs the following apt description of a'
thoroughgoing Copperhead, as seen at the present
day
An individual goes over, joins the ranks of the
enemy, and raises his arms against his country ; he
is clearly guilty of treason under the Constitution,
the overt act being consummated. Suppose the
same individual not to go over to the enemy, but to
remain in his own neighborhood, and by means of his
irfluence to dissuade ten men from enlisting ,• I ask in
which case has he - benefitted theenemy and injured
the country moral"
Again, be says, in answering the question,
" Whom, then do I accusel"
"I accuse him, sir, who professes himself to be
the friend of this country and enjoys ittiprotection ,
yet proves himself by his actions to be the friend of
its enemy. I accuse him who sets himself to work
systematically to ,weaken the arm of this Govern
ment by destroying its credit and damping the ardor
of its citizens. I accuse him who has used his ex
ertions to defeat the loan and to prevent the young
men of tbe country from going forth to tight their
country's battles. I accuse him who announces with
jtry the disasters of our arms, and sinks into melan
choly when .he hears of our aueoess. Su,cla mtat
cannot oOnaider friends to this antion."

"Dfr. Secretary Seward," says the National ladif
genctr. irutborizeit the gratifying announcement that
the French Government, upon the remonstrance of
Mr. Dayton, the American Minister at Paris, hag
promptly and most honorably arrested the six iron
clad rains which were building at Nantes and Bor
deaux. There fa no reason to doubt that these ves
sels were intended for the Southern Confederacy."
The Paris letter to the New York Times, dated Oct.
23 dee , contains this information respecting them:
"After the judicial decision in England in the case
of the Alexandra, Re v eral of the leading ship. builders
of France,who, till then, had real eted the offers of the
Confederate agenta, agreed to enter into a contrast
for the building-of ships for the Confederate navy

Four of the six vesztes -were'eontracted for in April.

appears, are in a state of forwardness corresponding

The contracts are said to be signed by Menem. Sli

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MONEY MARKET.
The condition of the money market presents no new
features. the bulk of operations being made at-70d per
cent. The general impression on, the street is, that the
stringency now existing cannot last mach longer. and it
has been suggested that the Government immediately
hasten to liquidate all debts possible, in order to relieve.
the market. If this be done—as with the means new at
command it can be—thera is an end of the trouble.
