LABOR VIOVENCII:NTS
The great sensation of the week has been the strike
of the city 9r•drivers for increased wages, and the
temporary suspension of travel over the various lines
in consequence., For come time past there had been
a growing dissatisfaction with the pittances doled
out by the wealthy corporations in return for twelve
hours' labor per diem and on Thursday it culmi
nated. in open demands upon tlta various superin
tendrnts for the. increase of fifty cents per day. As
is usual in such eases, the functioos.ries considered
themselves injured, and the strikers a combination
bent upon the most diabolical extortion ; and refused.
The drivers, therefore, after running their cars until
eight o'clock, for the convenience of the business
community, abandoned them ex masse at the several
termini, and for the first time in years, Now Yorkers
were forced to rely upon those natural conveniences
for transportation, the use of which, in the glut of
public vehicles, they had almost forgotten. This
was a practical adoption of "the movement cure.”
The long, wearisome avenues presented a compact
MEMO of, pedestrians, feverish and indignant, hurry
ing from the 'high latitudes of the city, towards the
business sections; and the piteously appealing looks
of young swells, whose tight boots were never before
devoted to the vulgar uses of tramping, served to
add the heavy, barbaric tints to a picture of human
indignation, ouch as our good citizens have seldom
Witnessed:-
The corporations, in numberless cards and adver
tisements, fell back upon the threadbare plea of
poverty. This, when the fragrance of fat dividends
and Stock above par still clung to the corporate
name, became rather irritating. The plea was not
accepted by drivers or the public. The latter rushed
frantically Niter the omnibuses, crowding them to
repletion, hanging on the steps, and resting their fair
proportions upon the sloping roofs ;'sometimes eject
ing the driver from his seat, and sometimes elbowing
and jamming him into spaces of ridiculous dimen
sions. r,Universal discomfort reigned. The compa
nies hired unlicensed drivere,.who immediately fell
into the clutches of the police, or were awed into
flight by the menaces of the strikers. In one in
stance a deputy superintendent, in broadcloth and
stove-piPe hat, drove a car for one trip, and then re
signed the new position in disgust. To add to the
general inconvenience, almost simultaneously there
was a strike among the hack-drivers, thereby cutting
off another and important medium of :travel. In
this - case, also, the employers essayed to do their
own work. New hate, and surtouts of fashionable
cut, were seen mounted on the boxes r and respecta
bllity.assuming whip and ribbons;drove frantically
through the etreets, feeling very much out of place
in such depths of humility.
Apprehending disturbances from this general sus
pension of labor among a class not much given to
quiet philosophy'in cases where their vital interests
are concerned, the police was out in full force. The
, flEpOts were strongly guarded by platoons, and ar
rangements were made fgt . prompt action should cir
cumstances demand it. The strike, however, was
, ouletly conducted ; but few threats were made, and
'about the only violent act reported was the ducking
of an unlicensed driver, who was caught upon one
of the avenue cars. :Hatters were finally accommo
dated ; the demands acceded to, and once more New
York lolls on cushions after the old fashion.
The movement for higher wages, which is general
among the trades, has, fora wonder, the hearty
support the press and the public. It is impossible
to live at the old rates of remuneration, which have
always been small enough 'and are now totally in
:sufficient, especially as the winter is setting in. The
female portion of the laboring population is in no
wise behind the male, in the firm attitude assumed
towards obstinate employer& Sewing girls, box
makers, shirt makers, and id omne genus, are holding
meetings and pledging themselves to the cause with
much enthusiasm.' For this reason,' many of the
establishments are at a stand-still, the girls having
deserted, in -a body, to the-rebellion, and refusing
their services until the full demands shall be acceded
to. Surely, never cause was Plster. The rewards
• of female labor in the metropolis are a reproach to
cerambn humanity. In many occupations excellent
wdrkwomen receive for a week's weary labor only
from $1.6 . 6 to $2, and even at these starvation rates
the employment is not always steady. For this rea
- son, winter always comes to us in the shape of Me
-1 phistophilesr.pring souls away.' Year after year
the same horrible history is recorded, and our streets
become moral Golgothas. -Vampire philosopher",
who love to watch and. speculate upon the sum and
substance of human misery, can study here to ad
vantage. Let them watch these poor, pale con
sumptives, stealing, thinly clad, through these terri-
ble streets of cold, np to the miserable rooms where
there is no Ere, only the bitter chill and frost, up by
the table whew there la only water and bread. Op-
posits:, perhaps in the room under her feet, are the
haunts of crime, where, at least, there is no starva
tion, no cold nor pinching of the limbs with frosty
fingers. The wages will purchase nothing respecta
ble, net even perhaps a corner in a house free from
pollution. Such are the temptations which beckon
thousands every day. The result need not rest in
speculation. The cold, bitter winds, week by week,
of this wintry,weather, whirl off these poor, pale
creatures from the circle of morality and drive them
down into the depths. The statistics of winter are
horrible.
The systematic nature of the movement -assures
the-inerease, sooner or later. Many employers hold
out with the hope of stemming the tide; but the re
sult is inevitable, although much misery will news
tartly result from such obstinacy,
GENERAL ITEM 3
General Canby, commandant of the troops in the
harbor„ has been relieved, and Brigadier General
George J. Stannard substituted. The former is a.
great favorite with our citizens, and his loss will be
felt. It will be remembered that he was appointed
during the July riots, and with'an especial eye to
their suppression.
Theeteamer Peterhoff, the capture and condemns,
tion of which created so much excitement in Eng
lish Secession circles, is being converted into a war
steamer for the use of the Government. She has
undergone a most thorough overhauling with this
view, and is thororighly strengthened in every part.
Originally a fast vessel, certain improvements in
her engines promise to add yet more to her speed.
She now lies at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and ex
cites much attention by the beauty of her model, and
the formidable appearance she presents.
Among the ranks of the metropOlitan lawyers,
there is a gentleman, the son`of one of our most
entinent physicians, who, in a small way, has be
edam quite a terror to the Philistines of the streets.
During the palmy days of garroting, several years
ago, he was attacked, near, his own house, by two
stalwart ruffians, who attempted to dispossess him
of his iraluable chronometer and other articles of
Worth. In answer the pleader fired two shots, one
of which missed its intended target, while the other
routed the enemy, with the loss of one in wounded.
More recently his coachman, uponbeing discharged,
, drew a knife, and threatened condign vengeance,
Whereupon the revolver was again brought into re.
quisition,iind Sohn Thomas received a,ball in his
leg. Nor was this all. He was arrested at the in
stance of the employer, and arraigned at the See
, glens upon the charge of assault. - At the trial, how
ever, the complainant relented, and pleaded for his
discharge, which was accordingly granted.
Garroting, by the way, hai been revived to some
considerable extent -by the Thugs of the city, al
though- its history:has been in,no wise flattering to
the profession. It was imported here from London,
oeveral . years ago, at - the tlyne_when the since noto
rious. Judge Russell, was upon the bench. One of
the first cases brought to his cognizance was rather
peculiar, and excited no little merriment when the
fasts were made public: It seems that upon a snowy
night, a belated pedestrian was garroted, robbed of a
eilVer sixpence, and thrown ` down a cellar-way,
where he was found by the police, nearly entombed
in the snow, and insensible from the effects of ill
treatment and the cold combined. The bill had just
been passed declaring the silver sixpence equivalent
only to half a dime, and lowering the valuation of
all foreign coine then..in circulation. One of the
garroters was apprehended, found guilty, and sen
tenced by Judge Russell to imprisonment for life,
though the counsel for the accused pleaded in miti
gation that he had only secured five cents, when he
thought he wee stealing six. Judge Russell broke
up the practice altogether by inflicting lifirpenalties
in nearly every case tried before him ; and for years
scarcely a case of garroting °canned. The judge
soon lost the good name which he had acquired with
the community, and effectually blocked the chances
for:political preferment which he had aimed at.
The anthropophagoue party appears to have given
up the practice of chewing off noses and cheeks,
preferring the more manly appliances of knife and
pistol. On Wednesday last, a number,df representa
tive Democrats , met at a porter ' -house on Madison
street, and, after an excited debate regarding parti
san candidates, commenced belaboring each other.
Finally a man, named White, drew a pair of pistols,
and, not satisfied with beating 'their stocks in the
faces of his friends, shot an opponent named Cusick,
killing him instantly. He was arrested,' together
with a man named Brown, who was held as an ac
cessary. The verdict of the coroner's jury was in
accordance with the fact, yet they were bailed in the
sum of $5,000 each ; and, unless some special provi
dence interferes in the behalf of justice, will proba
bly be non est when wanted.
The world of amusement is still quiet, and with
out sensation. Grau is running an operatic com
pany in opposition to that of Maretzek ; the oPpo;
omits holding forth, respectively, at Niblo's Saloon
(an attachment of Niblo'a proper) and the Academy
of Music. Me. John Wood is producing a series
of new burlesquen, which are fairly suceeseful. The
interminable "Boxedale” still holds out at 'Wal
lach's. The French Theatre continues its - lease of
life, although not affording mammoth results.

LORD LYNDHURST AND THE GAME OF WIMP.—
The origin of whist does not go further back than
eighty years. Lord Lyndhurst, born in 1772, was
one'of the most devoted adepts of the game. It is
to him that is owing that manner of playing—
namely, when a person holds a single card of a suit
that he at once plays it out,•and which is known by
the name of a " Singleton." This name is derived
from its inventor Sir John Copley Singleton. His
public services will be forgotten, but his name will
StwvAre at the whist table.—French paper. •

Te th e-Editor of New
Sin: As great aoxiety-is felt about the condition
of the prisoners at Richmond, and many inquiries
are made as to how „Tar the Sanitary Commission is
co-operating in the wmk of relieving their neoessi
ties,,l beg, as - a matter if Public interest, to make
the, following statement
On the 29th of Septealber, the Secretary of the
Oominikeion at Washingto.n wrote to General Mere
dith, commissioner for the e2sehange of prisoners at
Fortress Monroe, stating than he had learned from
Dr. Mcribnald and Mr. Scaildlin , (twer of our agents
who had been captured by theTebels near Gettys
burg while carrying stores for the wounded to the
battlefield,-and detained in privorrat Richmond for
nearly three months) that , they had season to believe
that suppliecrif sent by us for 00 - relief of the
prisoners, would reach them. GenernMeredlith was
asked to take charge of and forward supplies sent for
that object. This he readily consented-to do, and
accordingly aA invoice, consisting of tbo following
articles, was at once sent to his oare—viz, MOevoalen
shirts, • 600 canton flannel draviers, GOO pat's , wooien
soelrii,ooo handkerchiefs, 2 eases reading matter.
Theseatore,a have been duly received and dietribo
ted, under the direction , * Gen. Neal Dow,-one of
the prisoners. T ele,

needed by the prisoners: The Sanitary Commis
sion, therefore, has since confined itself to sending.:
articles of food, delicacies, &c., for the sick. If it ,
should-prove that the clotting sent out by the Go
vernment has not been received, the Oommisaion
wino:A course, send from their own stores any sup
ply needed. •
The following extract of a letter, received by me
this morning from the central , office at Washington,
will explain the present condition of the Commis
sion's work in this important department:
"Two invoices have been sent to Union prisoners
at Richmond within the last week or ten nays, con
sisting of /concentrated beef soup, condensed milk,
farina., corn-starch, pickles, chocolate, coffee. &c.
We propose to send weekly inslalments, if we find that
the articles continue to reach their destination. We
have also opened- negotiations for the - purpose of
sending an agent out who will take charge of the
supplies sent by us, and who will prepare food for
the sick on Belle Isle."
It is chylous that a work like this cannot be pro
perly carried on without a large outlay of money.
Contributions for this object will be received by
Caleb Cope, Esq., treasurer, northeast corner of
Sixth and, Minor atreetslor at the agency, No. 1307
Chestnut street.
I may state, in conclusion, that the Commission is
bringing its influence to bear with the view of effect
ing an early exchange of prisoners.
Very respectfully, R. M. LEWIS,-

Message of the Governor of Missouri.
Governor Gamble's message to the new Legisla
ture of Missouri has the following passage relative
to emancipation : ,
After a full discussion of the subject of emancipa
tion an ordinance was adopted which will -relieve
the ' State from chattel-slavery on the 4th day of
July, 1870, with such provisions for service to be
rendered by the emancipated slaves as justice and
humanity appeared to the Convention to require.
Although the ordinance, as adopted by-the Conven
tion, is not, in all its different provisions, such as I
myself approved, and probably not such as a ma
jority of the Convention would have approved i.yet
as the subject ,is one which has always produced
a diversity of opinion in regard to details, among
those who are the most earnest friends of emanci
pation, the ordinance, as passed, was accepted by a
majority of the friends of emancipation as the best
measure that could be agreed up . on. It cannot be
expected of me that I shall enter into a vindication
of the ordinance in all its details, as I voted in the
Convention against some of its provisions
.• still I
accepted it as a measure that will, M a brief period,
accomplish the great object to be obtained in making
Missouri a free State. > I am aware that there are
many who seize upon particular provisions of
the ordinance as a ground of objection to the
vshole • measure, while others express apprehen
sions _that the delay in its taking effect exposes
the whole measure to the danger of repeal. I am
persuaded that no intelligent body of the friends of
emancipation, who look at the subject in all its dif
ferent bearings with the eyes of justice and huma
nity, can ever be assembled without finding them
selves differing in opinion about details, and, there
fore, it is no solid objection to a, plan of emancipa
tion that some of its details satisfy some of the
friends of emancipation, while they dissatisfy oth
ers. As to the supposed danger of a repeal of the
measure adopted, I. regard it as altogether imagina
ry. lam fully persuaded that those interested in
slave property in the State, in view of the great in
security of such property, will never seek to die.
turb the measure as adopted, and no others have
any interest in doing so ; thus, I believe the mea
sure will go quietly into operation, and the State
be relieved from all the evils of slavery.
Prearanamtows von CONGRESS.—The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Journal of Com
merce writes :
"The annual preparations in and around the
Capitol for the reception of Congress are progreaa
ing with rapidity. One or two of the smaller porti
coes have been completed, so that the conveniences
lor entering the building will be increased. The
furniture throughout has been renovated and car
pets laid down; and it is due to Ddr. John Thomp
son, who has charge of the House of Representa
tives hall, to say that the good taste and simple ele
gance of all the work that has passed under his ,eye
reflects great credit upon his practical intelligence.
As to the works of art which have been placed in
position during the recess, the attention of visitors
will be attracted by Orawford's statuary over the
eastern entrance to, the Senate wing, and by the
great bronze door, by Rogers, at the entrance of the
corridor leading from the old hall of the House to
the new which weighs 20,000 pounds and will cost
$30,000 2 .the Story of its design being devoted to -Co

POSSESSION OP BOCA CHICA—NO. RESISTANCE OF-
FERRI).
On landing on Brazos Island, the 05th Maine, Col.
Dwyer, Accompanied by Major Von Hermann, of
General Banks , staff, started for Boss China, took
possession of the Pass, and encamped there, throw
ing out pickets.
No resistance whatever was offered, and no 'hu
man beings have yet been seen on the island or else
where, if I except the repulse of two companies of
cavalry by the guns of the T. A. Scott, Captain
O'Brien, which anchored off the mouth of Boca
Mica this morning, and opened upon the rebels who
had attempted to cross.
The same transport the night previous anchored
ofT the mouth of the Rio Grande, and amused her
self by keeping up, an almost constant fire upon 'the
Mexican vessels crossing and recrossing the river.
The old salt was a few miles wrong in his reckon
ing; for he afterwards stated that he " thought he
was peppering away at the damned rebels in' Boca
Chica instead of the harmless Mexicans on the'Rio
Grande;" .so that we shall probably make an apology'
for the slight mistake of firing upon their vessels
while engaged in a contraband trade with the rebels
on the Texan shore.
APPEARANCE OF THE 001TNTRY.
Those of your readers who have ever visited Ship
Island can have a good idea of this barren, intiospi-
table shore.
Brazos, as well as the islands along the Texan
coast, is a sandy desert. One house (deserted) stands
to our right, and a mile or so farther towards the in
terior are two lighthouses, one on each aide.
Charred rains show that three dwellings were de
stroyed by fire some time ago. Nothing but •tne
chimneys remain standing.
The foundations of the buildings used by General
Taylor for stores can yet be seen; but no other ves
tige remains. Sand and sand hills meet the eye in
every direction, and for miles there is no covering
from the rays of the burning sun by day, nor the
heavy, chilly dews by night.
Four wells were discovered by our soldiers, but
the water is brackish and unpalatable. Around
these were collected from thirty to forty head- of
poor cattle. They were suffering terribly from
thirst, and drank -with avidity the miserable water
that our men gave out to them froin the wells.
TIIBSDAY, Nov. 3,1663.—This morning the remain
der of the fleet joined us.
They are the transports Bagley, Pocahontas, and
Zephyr, and, the war vessels Monongahela and
Owasco. The whole had been waiting nearly. three
days at the rendezvous. -
Several rebels have been discovered at work erect
ing a fort at Point /Babel. They have already two
guns mounted, bearing in the direction of the fleet.
Their case will be attended to. On Thursday last
the Monongahela and the McClellan chased a
schooner for several hours, but was unable to come.
up with her. She was believed to have been a block-
• - -
Out of the transports which arrived here this
morning reports having 'spoken the schooner. She
prated to have been a prize to the Granite City at
the time that we were pursuing her. Shehad nearly
five hundred bales of cotton on board.
RECONNOISSANCE TO THE RIO GRANDE.
About 1 o'clock P. M. the gunboats Monongahela
and ()wan°, with the transport Scott—the latter
with troops on board—started for the mouth of the
Rio Grande on a reconnoissance, for the purpose of
landing soldiers on the Texas shore.
Captain J. S. Crosby, of. General Banks' staff
Captain Griffin (fleet captain), and Captain Strong,
of the Monongahela, entered a small boat and re
connoitred the Texas coast.
. . . .
Finding all clear, with no enemy in sight, the or
der for disembarking the troops was given.
FOUR 'BOATS CAPSIZED-SEVEN SOLDIERS AND TWO
SAILORS DROWNED
The boats of the three "steamers• were at once
lowered, making nine in all.
One hundred and forty soldiers then entered them,
each man being armed. After the sailors (sixty) had
taken charge of the boats, they started for the shore,
but, in crossing the bar four were capsized, and se
ven soldiers and two of the crew of the 0 waeco were
drowned. One' of the boats, after returning from
landing her men, succeeded in picking up a large
number of those in the water, and the Mexican
shore being much nearer than the other, the bow of
the boat was turned towards it; but the Mexicans
would not allow it to land, and the boat was com
pelled to cross the river to the Texas side, where all
were placed safely on shore. The landing of the
troops in the other boats was effected without diffi
culty, and during the whole time not an armed rebel
was seen. None of the boats of the Monongahela
were capsized.
STARTLING NEWS - THE REBELS EVACUATING
FORT BROWN
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 4.—We have just received offi
cial news of the greatest importance. -
The Government buildings at Port Brown were
burned to the ground yesterday by the rebel garri
son, preparatory to their evacuating the sort.
BIGHTING IN THE STREETS OF BROWNSVILLE BE
TWEEN THE BRION MEN AND SECESSIONISTS -
THE TOWN ON FIRE.
From the same aource, we learned that about this
time (three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon), a squad
of sixty rebel cavalry, which had witnessed the
landing of the soldiers under the guns of the Monon
gahela, at the mouth of the Rio Grande, dashed
into Brownsville, and commenced setting fire to the
buildings, with the intention of destroying the
town. The property holders and Union men re
sisted them, when the Secessionists joined the
cavalry, and a bloody street fight took place, which
lasted all the afternoon, the buildings burning in
every , direction around-them. The fight was still
going on when the messenger left, for the purpose
of communicating the news to the generals com
manding.
The ibth Maine which was in the advance at the
time, at once received orders to march without de
lay, and by daylight-to-morrow morning this regi
ment, with others m supporting distance, will be in
Brownsville.
A CORRECTION-AN ACT OF JUSTICE
In My-New Orleans leteer, giving you an account
of the affair at Morganzia, I stated that Gen. Dana
bad been in command of the division about a week.
This is a mistake, as when the news arrived of the
capture of Colonel Leake and his force, Gen. Dana
had not been in command an hour, so that none of
the responsibility of the disaster rests with him.

CHARLESTON.
Hopeful Progress of the Siege. '
(Correspondence of the Baltimore American.)
CHARLESTON HARBOR, Friday, Nov. 6, 1863.
After the ineffectual effort to .raise their flag when
it was shot away on Sunday, Sumpter remained
without a flag until Wednesday morning, when it
was perceived that during the night the rebels had
planted . - a tall pole in the very centre of the pile of
ruins, and raised upon it a new flag. It floated there
during all yesterday, seeming to render the fort
more conspicuous by its defiant flutterings t but our
gunners wasted no shots upon it. Their work is
directed against the portions-of the two walls that
remain standing, and it is only by chance that the
pile of dirt in the centre of•.the fort is disturbed by
our balls.
THE MONITORS.
It was feared that the Passaic would have-to be
sent North to remedy some derangement of ma
chinery that rendered it impoasiole to turn her tur
ret, which was beyond the ingenuity of the ma
chinists at Port Royal to remedy. Fortunately, the
Navy Department has recently sent here one of Ur.
Eriesscon'a assistants, Mr. Griffin, a persevering and
energetic gentleman, as superintendent of iron clads,
who declared that the turret must turn, and he made
it turn.
IVIr. Griffin, since his arrival here, has also done
a most important work in improving the speed of
the monitors. An iron vessel, after lying in the
waters of the Southern coast a few months, has
her sides and bottom covered with marine grass,
barnacles, &c., that greatly impede their speed.
I have seen the grass fully three inches long on the
sides of, the monitors. The consequence Was, their
speed was reduced to about three knots, an hour,
and the facility in steering greatly lessened. At
tempts were made to have them cleaned by divers,
but did not succeed very well. Mr. Griffin, on
learning the difficulties, suggested that the boats
should be beached at Port Royal <at high water, and
their bottoms scraped lad painted. Doubts were
entertained by some whether the monitors would
not be strained, but Mr. Griffin, with Admarel
Dahlgren's autbority, madis an experiment with the
Passaic. It proved entirely succossful; the vessel
was not strained or injured in the least. There
snit was a surprise and gratification to everybody.
The Passaic, on arriving off Charleston Bar, east
loose from- her tow, and came in, nearly keeping
way with the Commodore Dupont, a fast steamer,
formerly the English blookarle-runner Anglia. The
. next day the Passitie went on a trial trip zeroes the
-harbor, and made us all stare by showing Is speed of
seven knots an hour.. Nearly all the monitors have
'now been subjected to this cleaninK proem, and are
now good for an average speed of six knots an hour..
This result is equal to a reinforcement of three
monitors, and will abundantly pay for the delay it
has caused,

H_EA'DQUARTERS THTBI,I3.RIGA.D7L,
November 9, 1863.
Oke - xmar. ORDERS,NO. 51—Officers and Soldiers:
Your gallant deeds of the 7th November will live
in the annals of our country, and will not be the
least glorious of the exploits of the Aztny of the
Potomac. - But your general cannot but-express to
you himself his songratulationa upon your , auecess,
snd his appreciation of your daring and gallantry.
To have carried by s'aorm,with a mere skirmish line,'
and a feeble support in numbers, powerful earth
works, a strong natural-position manned by the Bo weir ,
)-of the rebel army, and supported by artilleryi'would
be an achievement theta divinicer of our forweemight
' wain eel a pride in, but it was not to much for the •
gallant sons of Maine and Wisconsin.
Your General felt confident that soldiers, who In '
camp observed all the strict rules of military rife
with fidelity, would prove equally reliable in -the
field, and in this, his first essay of your prowess i lon
exceeded his most sanguine expectations.
With the actual result of your engagement you:
are all too familiar to render any recapitulation as
canary ; but there is the further reflection to offset
the saddening influence of the loss of your well-tried
and courageous brothers-in-arms, that any subse
quent attack upon your opponents, better prepared •
and strengthened as they would have been, must
have been attended with a yet sadder, and,-it may
be, a less successful result. The hardy, generous,
and glorious support of Pennsylvania in the strife
should serve to bind yet closer the East, the-Middle
States, and the West, and to her troops belongs no
small ahare of our victory.
And it isjust and titling here to acknowledge the
soldiery conduct and valuable assistance of Colonel.
Upton and his gallant regiments, the sth Maine and
the mist New York. Prompt in their support, they
deserve our heartfelt thanks, as, by their bravery
they scone large share of the honors of the day.l
The banners of this brigade shall - bear the name
1, Rappahannock," to perpetuate, so long as those
banners Shall endue, dflopping and shredding away •
though they may, for generations,the proud triumph
won by you on the '7th November, 1863.

Mr. Deed:Ler in New York—lilis Last
Speech in Liverpool.
The ReV. Henry Ward Beecher arrived in New
York yesterday morning. He was quite sick on his
passage home, and his physical strength is exhaust
ed. The members of his congregation will give hilt
a reception this evening, and he will probably soon
deliver an address upon his visit to England. We
make the following extracts from the able speech
made by him on the 30th ult., before the Liverpool
Emancipation Society: _ -
" When I come, therefore, to look into the is
of English things and feelings and society,
and when I see how in the first stage of the conflict
you came with your anti-elavery views and for the
North, and then in the second stage you ponder lest
the struggle should affect your property and ion..`
tereets in the interior of Midland, I stand at e tliEre.leS
point of turning, and see that England is going
the third stage-for it takes three parts to form a A
syllogism-and that it will come to that stage in
which you will say This American struggle is
not going to affect our interior economy any more
than we have a mind to let it, and we will follow
our real opinions and manfully sympathize.'
[Cheers.] I know of but one or two things fleece
eery to expedite this, and that is, one or two con
elusive-Federal vietorme-[cheers]. or I am greatly
muitaken, while England is io'her opinions and con
victions what she is. Those convictions and
opinions of England are like iron wedges, but sue
cue is the sledge which drives the wedge sad
aphis the log, and nowhere in the world are people
so apt to succeed in anything they put their hand
to as in England ; and, therefore, the crowning
thing for the North now to complete that returning
sympathy and cordial goodwill into give the South
a thorough drubbing. [Loud cheers.]
"Allow me to say, therefore, just at this point,
that, while looking at it commercially or sentimen
tally, the prolongation of that war seems mischiev
ous, it is more in seeming than in reality, for the
North has been educated, by this war. Like men
Rent to sea in a ship half' built, with just bulwarks •
sufficient to keep out the water, and having to sail
on the voyage and build up their ship as they-went,
we were precipitated into this revolution and war,
and the process of education has been going on-in
the battle field, in the drilling camp, at home among
they peoplettlstile taxing their energies for the main
tenance of the war-and there never was so good a
schoolmaster as war. [Hear, hear.] Terrible the
light of his eye,• fearful the stroke of hie hand. But
every month that the end of this struggle is delayed
unitizes _the North, and prepares the land for that
union and peace which requare the utter destruction
of slavery. [Cheers.]
"There is an old proverb, There's luck in leisure.'
Let me transmute that proverb, and say, 'there is
emancipation in delay.'[Loud ;cheers.] And every
man here-every commercial man that takes a com
prehensive and long-sighted instead of a narrow
view of the question-will say, ' Let the war thus
linger until it has burnt slavery to the.very foot?
[RineWed cheers ] While war is as great and a
greater evil than you have been taught to think, your
have been wrong in supposing it was an evil only,
and that God could net, even by such servants as
war, work out a great moral result. The spirit of
patriotism diffused throughout the North has been al
most like the resurrection of manhood. [Cheers]
"You never can understand what emasculation
has been produced by the endirect influence of sla
very. [Hear, hear.] 1 have mourned all my mae
tine Hie to see men growing up who were obliged to
suppress all true devotion and sentiment, because it
was necessary to compromise between the great an
tagonisms of North and South. Now I take this
ground, that if 'Union' meant nothing but this-an
abandonment of national power to maintain slavery
-Union was a lie and a degradation. [Great cheer
ing.] All over New England, and all over the State
of New York, and throughout Pennsylvania, clear
to the very banks of the Ohio, hisses and execrations
met this doctrine ; and from 1850 to 1860 my cry Waa,
'Union is if good it is union for justice and for li
belty ; but if it is union for slavery, then it is thrice
accursed.' [Loud cheering.] They were attempt
ing to lasso anti slavery men by this word 'Union,'
and to draw them over to proelalery sympathies
and to the party of the South by saying, Slavery
m
may be wrong, and all that, but we must not give up
the Union,' and it became necessary for the friends
of liberty to say, 'Union for the sake of liberty, not
Union for the sake of slavery.' [Cheers.]
"Now we pass out of that period, and it is aston
idling to see how men have come to their tongues in
the North-[' hear, hear,' and laughter]-and how
men of the highest accomplishments now say they
do not believe in slavery. Not until the sirocco
came-not until that great convulsion that threw
men, as with a backward movement of the arm of
Omnipotence, from the clutches of the South and
from her sorcerer's breath-not until then was it
that the man of the North stood on their feet and
were men again. [Great cheering.] Perish every
material element of wealth, and give me the citizen
intact; give me the man that fears God, and there
fore loves men, and the destruction of the mere out
side fabric is nothing-nothing. [Cheers.] But give
me apartments of gold, and build me palaces alone
the streets as thick as the streets of London; give
me rich harvests and ships, and all the means and
elements of wealth, and corrupt the citizen, and I
am poor. [lmmense cheering.]
" I will not mention to you the other elements.t,
will not mention to you what moral power is al
ready stored in the names of those young heroes that
have fallen in this struggle. I cannot think of it
but my eyes run over. They were dear to me, many
of them, as if they had carried in, their areina my
own blood. How many families do I know where
once was the voice of gladness, where now father
and mother sit childless ! How many heirs of wealth,
bow many noble scions of old families e well cultured,
the heirs to every apparent prosperity in time to
come, flung themselves into their country's cause,
and died bravely fighting for it! [Cheers.] And
every such name has become a name of power, and
whoever hears it hereafter shall feel a thrill in his .
heart,' 'elf-devotion heroic , patriotism, love of, his
kind, love of liberty, love or God. [Renetrea ap
plause.]
"It is not a cunningly-devised trick ,of oratory
that has led me to pray God that the future of - . En
gland and America shall be an undivided futime, and_
a cordially . united one. [Hear, and cheers.] I,
know my friend Punch, thinks I have been serving,
out soothing syrup to the British lion. [Laugh
ter.] Very properly the picture represents me as.
putting a spoon into the eipnes ear instead of , his
mouth; and I don't wonder that the great brute.
turns away very sternly from that plan of:feeding.
'[Renewed laughter.] If it be an offence to have
sought to enter your mind by your nobler smell
raceme and nobler faculties, then I. am guilty.
[Hear, hear, and cheers.] I. have sought to ape
peal to your reason and to your moral convic
tions. I have sought to come in on that aide on
which you were moat good-natured ; and I thinle all
men of common sense would have attempted the
same thing. I have sacrificed nothing, however, for
the sake of your favor-Dheersl-and if you have
permitted me to have any influence with you, it was
because I stood apparently a man of strong convic
tions, but with generous impulses as ; ma
because you believed that I was honest in my belief,
and because I was kind in my feelings towards you.
[Applause.] And now, when Igo back home, I shall
be just as faithful with our young folks' as I have
been.with the old folks' in England-Idea; hear,
and cheerel-I shall tell them something of• what I
have said to their ancestors on this side.
M" I shall plead for union, for confidence. [pheeral
For the cake of civilization ; . for the salts of those
glories of the Christian - Church, which. are dearer
to me than all that I know ; for the sake of Him
whose blood I bear about, a perpetuel cleansing, a
perpetual cloud of strength and stimulation ;for the
sake of time and the glories of eternity,,l shall plead
that mother and daughter-England and America-be
found one in heart and one in purpose e following the
bright banner of salvation, as, streaming abroad in
the light of the morning, it goes round and round
the earth, carrying the, prophecy and the fulfil.
ment together, that 'The earth shall be the Lord's,
and that His glory shall fill it at the waters cover
the sea.' [Loud and prolonged cheering.] And ,
now my hours are moments, but I linger because it
is pleasant. You have made yourselves so kind
to me that my heart clings to you. I leave not
strangers any longer-I leave friends behind. [Loud
cheers.] I shall probably never at my time of life
r am now fifty years of age, and at that time men
seldom make great changes-I shall probably see
England no more; but I shall never cease to see her.
I shall never spea k any more here, but I shall never
cease to be heard in England as long as I live.
[Cheers.] Three thousand miles is not as wide now
cc your hand. The air is one great sounding gallery.
What you whisper in your closet is heard in the in
finite depths of Heaven ; what you do in your pul
pits In England we hear in America, and what we
do in our pulpits you hear and feel here; and so it
