"I could never get to know exactly," said he, "but some of our officers tell us we are fighting for liberty." Beautiful sentiment, thought I; but what fatal delusion I Pretty theory, and attractive ; yea, '• "Ingenious, new, Sublime, stupendous, everything but true." "Pray, tell me," said I, "how much of this liberty you have secured for yourself, personally, and what is the nature of WI" "Liberty," said he, "to enter the army or be shot in my own house ; liberty to leave my family to starve for the necessaries of life; liberty to tight against my own countrymen, and peril my life to gratify a few elaveholders, who ere leading us to destruction. lam sick of it," said he, " andtaie deserted, and thousands more would do so if opportunity offered." And the eleven who were with him said •" Amen." = • Deserters are coming tvithiu' . our lines by mores daily, and all tell much the same story or suffering in life army, and suffering out of it; of disaffection generally, and an increasing clamor for pease, which is becoming irresistible. "As a servant earnestly desiretk the shadow"—a shadow born of the Setting sun-'4O de these people earnestly desire to'seelhe - end of a war which has brought them nothing but ,misery and misfortune. • THE LOYAL WOIYIEN 7 THE SANITARY The Army of the Cumberland is now in fine con .dition ; full-fed, and healthy, and bueyant. I desire to say a' few words for the Sanitary Commission, Which has come to be one of the permanent ap purtenances of the Union army, and has been the efficlimt instrument for relieving much suffering and prolonging the lives of thousande of our brave soldiers. To the loyal women of the land who have, through this medium, so largely contributed to the welfare and comfort of sick and wounded Boldiers, all hOnor should be rascribed. From many a sick couch in camp, from many a wounded soldier in hospital, silent thank• offerings have gone back to unknown donors': of hoine comforts and dello/idea wid c ;h have gladdened the hearts of the suffering heroes: These are truly, the days When Spinsters, trembling for the nation's fate, - Neglect their stockings to preserve the State"' And they have, indeed, contributed , to the preserve tioniof the Statnby preserving those who defend it. A nbbler work= hi not reebrded in history. I have Welled the PrOgress of this benevolent scheme for two gears bast. In the early.period of the war its humane efforts were misdirected, as might have been expected, and some of the contributions were about as necessary and appropriate as those of a certain benevolent association of _ladies who so licited subscriptions for the purpose of supplying - the unfortunate heathen of the rejee Islands with tooth•brushes and warming-pans l_ "When water runs in Imo channels, it will run muddy for a while," says the old proverb. But now the boxes and barrels of the Sanitary Commission have almost superseded the medicine chest, and hu nanity is the gainer thereby. OUR DEAD. AT CHICKAMAUGA. It is said that our soldiers who fell at the battle of Chickamauga are still unburied. Their bodies lie Where they so gloriously fell, and the fowls of the air are feasting upon the putrid flesh: The thought of it is horribly sickening. 0, God i can such things bet and in a Christian land, in the nine- teenth century. The damning fact should be pub lished to the uttermost parts of the earth. The skeletons of those brave men, from whieh the flesh is _being picked, piece by piece, should haunt the presenee of General Braeg,rso long as God permits his detestable body to come between the earth and the sun. It is the moat brutal example of "man's inhu• infinity to man "-that has characterized this sangui nary war. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." Madness, repulsive and disgust ing to the educated sense, has come upon rebeldom, and destruction will soon follow. The manner of pi,uying the dead upon n bsttle-field ) Under the most favorable cireutastanCes, is -sufficiently revolting. Seores are frequently interred in one common grave, and no cypress or yew tree marks their resting place, no slab or head-board speaks to the living wanderer of a sepulchre beneath his feet. Upon no battle-field left in our possession, where it has been my' teatime to be -presenti'has there 'been the dead body Ora rebel soldier left above the ground. May God comfort the mourners, whose friends are thus denied the last sad rites of sepulture. Prisoners tell us that Bragg is preparing to fall back to Rome or Atlanta, to keep his men from de serting in such large numbers, and to procure sub• siatenee. Rebel cannon speak to us occasionallyfrom Look out Mountain, and our guns reply with alacrity. Sometimes, on a calm, still morning, the fiery ora tors declaim for an hour or two with great fury, and from our ,resting•place in the valley we watch the course of the missiles as they come and go on their destnictive errand. The thundering echoes re sound from height to height, thrown back and forth across the valley by the opposing walls of rock, until their power is spent, and one after another they whisper themselves to silence. Germeatqwn A few days since two shells passed just over the log edifice which we have dignified as our headquar ters, and buried themselves in the corn-field beyond. They sang merrily as they flew past our chimney! and went on their way, leaving us no occasion to re.. gret their short stay in our Immediate vicinity. The day after the fettle of yi'auhatchie, over 300 of these musical ambassadors were sent from Lookout Mountain into our camp on the battlefield. Our casu alties were few—the men protecting themselves be hind a friendly tree, or in the entrenchments they were constructing, CONGRE SS. Congress is soon to meet, and the event is one Which naturally awakens interest in the army, as Well as out of it. We await its doings with the liOpe that something will ,1 turn up." Welcome ! ye Senators and Representatives, who come fresh from the hearts and homes of the people. We greet you as you emerge from rural obscurity. We await your appearance in the forum. "Statesmen, ye Who are so restless in your wisdom; ye Who have a broom still ready in your hands To rid the world of nuisances," Come forth ! and let your light so shine that it May irradiate the murky darkness which now en velopes the land, obscuring the sunlight of peace. IWe want no talk of compromise or conciliation :with traitors in arms. Say anything else but that, Open wide the doors of the Capitol for the envoy who brings tidings of a readiness on the part of the rebels to throw down their arms, and submit to the government and laws of our country. After he comes offer free pardon 'and amnesty to all, except the leaders in the plot to overthrow the Govern ment, and arrange matters of minor importance as circumstances shall dictate. On this platform we can stand, sustained alike by honor andjustice. W. Mr. John Ruskin on English Neutrality. The following characteristic letter, dated Zurich, 25th October, 1E163, was received from Mr. Ruskih, as an apology for not attending a meeting at the Liverpool Institute, for the "distribution of prizes awarded by the Department of Science and Art: "I beg to acknowledge your favor of the 2oth Oc tober. My health does not now admit of my taking part frequently in public business, yet I should have held it a duty to accept the invitation of the direc tore of the Liverpool Institute, but that, for the time being, ny temper is at fault as well as my health ; and I am wholly unable to go on With any of my proper work, owing to the horror and shame with which 1 regard the political position taken, or rather sunk t into, by England - in her foreign relations, 'especially in the affairs of. Italy and Poland. What these matters have to do with art may not at first be clear, but I can perhaps make it so by a short simi litude. Suppose I had been engaged by an English gentleman to give lectures on art to his son. Mat ters at first go smoothly, and I am diligent in my definitions of line and color, until one Sunday morning, at breakfaat time, .a ticket-of-leave man takes :a fancy to murder a girl on the road leading round the lawn before the house windows. My pa tron, bearing the screams, puts down hie paper, ad juste hie spectacles, slowly apprehends what is going on; and rings the bell for his smallest footman. John, take my card and compliments to that" gentleman outside the hedge, and tell him that his proceedings are abnormal, and, I may add, to me personally of fensive. -Had that road passed through my property, I should have felt it my duty to interfere. John takes,the card and returns with it the ticket- of leave man finishes his work at his leisure; but the screams ceasing as he fills the girl's mouth with slay, the English gentleman returns to his muftine, and Congratulates himeell on having kept out of that mess.? Presently afterwards he sends for me, to linoW if I shall be ready to lecture on Monday. I am somewhat nervous, and answer—l fear rudely 'Sir, your son is a good lad ; I hope he will grow to be -a man ; but, for the present,•l cannot teach him anything. I should, like, indeed, to teach you something, but have no, words yet for the lesson.' Which, indeed, I have not. If I say any word on much matters, people ask me Would I have the 'country go to wart do I know how dreadful a thingwar is P Yee, truly. I know it ; I like war as ill as most people—so ill that I would not spend twenty, millions a year in making machines for it, neither my 'holidays and pocket money in play ing at it ; yet I would have the . country go' to war, with baste, in a goodquarrel; and, which perhaps is ecoentric.in me, rather .in another's quarrel than in her Own. We say of ourselves, complacently, that we will not go to war for an idea but the phrase in terpreted means only that we will go to war for a bale of goods, but not for justice nor for mercy ; and I would ask you to favor me so far as to read this letter to the students at your meeting, and say to them that I heartily wish them well, but for the pre sent I am too sad to be of any service to them ; that our tears in China and= Japan are not likely to- fur nish good subjects for. historical pictures ; that 'ideas' happen, unfortunately,, to be, in art, the principal things, and that a country which will not fight for its ideas is not likely to haye anything worth painting.

Wt poverty for several years, vibrating between Worcester , county` and Berkshire, Plassaohusetts and Connecticut, as he was shifted by selectmen who wished to c lear him from their precincts, has at last found a refuge, but perhaps, only a temporary one, ;In ,the State •Alreshouse at Monson. Forty years ago .this same man did a heavy grain and shippingliusiness in New-York;and wee among the molt influential and respected of "the. merolooti COMMISSION. SHELLS the metropolis. About the time of the completion' of the Erie canal he, with others,- conceived a grandacheme of doing an immense foreign trade, and went to Europe, taking moat of his wealth with him. Family affairs did not run smooth, and he gave up his grand project, went to London, led a gay lile, was feasted by lords, became very intimate with the household of a noble earl, and was pre sented at court by the Amerioan,minister. Afterwards he crossed to Paris, whore some im broglio obliged bim to accept the challenge of a fight ing marquis, who sent a bail through his right arm ; but our pauper, being a poor shot, severely wounded his own second instead of the marquis, and he had to leave that city. Then he went to Munich, - and made love to a niece of one of the royal families, was accepted, got drunk at a palatial ball over his conquest, made a bad thing of it, and left Munich with despatch. , He continued in his excesses, gam bled away all hie property, was a vagabond in Eng land a few years, - then in New York, and then throughout Western Massachusetts. His life is a sadder comment on fast living than was ever writ ten, THE REBEL PRESS. REBEL BARBARITY -7A_ HINT TO MITROIER UN [ON (From the Chattanooga. Rebel, Nov. 10. - It 'is now pretty well understood that the cartel has been dropped, nd no more prisoners are to be exchanged during the war. "The feet is suggestive,. says the Richmond Whig. " Our soldiers will remem ber that capture means imprisonment till the close of the war—perhaps for life. They will remember, also, that Yankee prisoners have to be fed, and that every one sent to Richmond shortens their rations, and increases the price of food purchased by their wives and children. We are bound by every obliga tion of humanity to treat our prisoners well, and the Government will continue to feed them with the beet it can.afford, even when the price of provisions be conies so enormous that the wives and children of the soldiers will have to be supported by public charity. But what soldier will like to see his - own flesh and blood:turned into paupers for the sake of _pampering Yankees? The more Yankees sent to Richmond., the sooner will our women and children be compelled to beg their daily bread. We do not blame the Yan kee Government for its course ; everything is fair in war. But, we repeat, the fact that no more prisoners are to be exchanged is very suggestive, especially to Southern soldiers, who do not like long years of con finement, and who have families not accustomed to the pangs of hunger, or hardships and ignominy of the poorhouse.. SOUTHERN SUPERSTITION [From the Richmond, Sentinel, Nov la ] It is encouraging to those who look to God for de liverance from our present troubles to know that about thirty days after each day which has been set apart by the President of the Confederate States for prayer and fasting we have had a battle and a vic tory. I noticed this fact stated in either the South ern or Central Presbyterian, with dates to prove. In. the last instance the fact is again verified. The bat tle of Chickamauga took place on the 20th of Sep tember, and the 21st of August was the day of fast ing and prayer. It has oftener been just thirty days than any other number, though in two or three instances it has varied a day or so. In view of this fact would it not be well for all religious denominations to unite-in urging the President to set aside one day in every thirty for fasting and prayer, and not wait until our country is shrouded in gloom from defeat and disasters'? GIENICRAL HAD,DII2 AND THE STRAG6LIDI [Frc in the Savannah News. 1 WO recently heard a camp anecdote, which, we thick, is worthy of being preserved in print. While on a forced march, In some of the army movements in Missfisippl, last summer, General Hardee came up with a straggler who had fallen some distance in the rear of his command. The General ordered him forward, when the soldier replied that he was weak and broken down, not having had even half rations for several days. -"That's bard," replied the General, " but - you must puslvforward, my good fellow, and join your command, or the provost guard will take you in hand." The soldier halted, and, looking up at the General, asked— " Ain't you General Hardee 1" " Yes," replied the General. " Did'nt you write Hari:lce's Tactics I" " Yea." " Well, General, I'Ve studied them tactics, and know 'em by heart. You've got a order thar to double column at half distance, ain't you ? • Well, asked the General, " what has that order to do With your case 'I" " Pin a good soldier, General, and obey all that is possible to be obeyed ; but if your orders can show me a order in your tactics, or anybody else's tactics, to double distance on half rations, then I'll give in." The General, with a hearty laugh, admitted that there were not tactics to meet the case, and, putting spun to his horse, rode forward. DAVIS AND PEMBRRTON The lait number of the Brandon Republican says : "During President Davie' visit to Brandon, we had the pleasure of meeting him at the residence of our fellowtownsman, Gen. Patrick Henry, and in a conversation with Major Maxey, concerning the fall of Vicksburg, we heard him say : My confidence in Gen, Pemberton has not abated in the least—he is one of the moat gallant and skilful generals in the service. Vicksburg, was not surrendered because of the want of provisions and acomimition,butbscause the men were exhausted., THE REBEL COMMISSARIAT The Examiner has the following notice in its ad vertising columns: " WANTED BT THE GOVERNMENT, DEAD ANI. MALE; or EVERY SOR.T.—Peraons having such upon their premises can have them promptly removed by leaving notice at MoKenly's shop, corner of Frank lin and Union streets ; at the Staff stables, on Cary street, opposite old Gas Works; at Wagner's Drug Store, corner of Sixth and Broad streets: or at the Government Nitre Beds, just beyond Bacon. Quarter ".By leaving notice at either of these places for Mr. A. Muller, persons will not only greatly benefit the Government, but receive the-highest price for the animals." -1;., CHARGE Or DISLOYALTY Robert C. Edwards, a citizen of Northumberland county, was lodged in Castle Thunder yesterday, on a charge of disloyalty, the specific charges of which remain with Gen. Winder. A branch of Castle Thunder has been eatablished in the building opposite the Castle, and is to be de voted to the reception of the Yankee deserters, as a place of greater seeurity. Thia class of prisoners, now numbering upwards of two hundred, will be transferred to their new quarters in a day or two. PERSONAL AFFAIRS-GEN. LONGSTRICET [From the correspondence of the Atlanta Appeal. J To- day I met en route to Lookout Mountain Gene rale Longedreet, Breckinridge, Hardee, and Howell Cobb. The Virginian gives one, at first glance, the idea of a stout, honest, weather-beaten old sea-cap teat in " regimentals ;" but as you look a second time and possibly catch his eye, there is something in it, and the large, full face, the broad, thoughtful brow, and fine mouth, which tells of dauntless reso lution, prompt action, giant energies, self-possession, and "fires concealed." These must have been, or physiogomy is a traitor when Longstreet was a humorous man, fond of a joke and a party of social friends; but you can remark that the fun-loving wrinkles around his eyes are now marked with care, and that his home - nature has gone into mourning for the war. I have seen him at his headquarters, on ' the march, and in the field ; but he always wears the samecool, unruf fled expression, which nothing disturbs. In battle he is watchful, wary, and energe tic ; never taken by surprise,- never astonished at anything, and wonderfully ready with expedients to meet every crisis. In camp, alas, his head is as full of maps as a chimney corner is full of cobwebs. If be ever dies suddenly, it will certainly be from a congestion of troops and topography. In conversation he is affable, pointed, and brief— agflatlf:liaafew words;alehis over his tersely-uttered sentences, until they run half crazy between the con clusion' left lor them to select. Such is. "Male Peter," the idol of his men, and the " best fighter ,1 in the Confederacy. ARRIVAL IN RICHMOND OF MRS. TODD, THE MOTHER OF MRS.

The Great Seandal . ln England. The scandal regarding Lord Palmerston seems to have been hushed up pretty effectually for the time at least. It is 'Wee that his lordship's honor is , perfectly safe, and that the whole charge is Solemnly denied. Meantime Lord Palmerston ie on a visit to the Queee,at Windsor Castle, and will be a guest at the Lord May or's banquet, on the 9th. The folio w. ing letter, which appeared in the Standard of the 6th, will tend to throw some light upon the matter : SIR : Having just read the "sensation" leaders in your evening edition of to-day, aud , in the Ettening Star of yesterday, under the above heading, I am compelled to break silence by declaring, as the soli citor for the respondent, that I believe the whole of the statements in the petition to be untrue, as my client solemnly declares them to be. As to the noble co-respondent, he is in highly respeetableShands, who are quite able to take care of their client's honor; and I should not have thought it necessary to say a' word on behalf of the respondent but for the manner in which the case has been most . unjustifiably can vassed on the faith of the mere filing of a petition, of which not one word has been or (as I believe) can be proved to be true. I have been always taught that common justice 'demanded an absence of comment on a case until after the trial. How has it been observed in this instance) Now, sir, in refer rump to your leader of to-day, I would beg to ask you whether you can in any way justify your reference to the co-reapondent as the "hoary de . fondant)" The very words seem to assume guilt on his part. Then you say "a respectable firm of solid tors vouch that the pending shit in the divorce court will, under no circumstances, be compromised." Now, first, who are the respectable firm of solicitors) Are you aware, sir, that the " firm," otherwise the attorney to the petitioner, is the Mr. Wells who daily advertises relief e To the Embarrassed" by omens of the court, in connection With a Mr. Weston, whO, I believe is an accountant'at the same address? Mr. Wells advertises that he will obtain " protection from £6, payable by instalments;" and without publicity!' Also,. that, " : divorce eases are confi dentially conducted." ' The preselitcaseseems " con fidentially " known to the whole- world, as Mr. Wells at once rushed into print to inform the public that no compromise bad been made in the case. Now, I should be glad to know who set the report of a compromise afloat at all? Most assuredly, not the reopen. dent nor her "solicitor ! She-emphatiadl ly denies all the allegations in the petition; and Mr. Wells, in his letter of denial, might and ought to have added that co compromise,, or suggestion of a compromise, had come to him from the respondent or her advisers; she will quietly await the petition ers exposure of himself when the-case comes into court.' I have only to - Mate, in conclusion, that the petitioner neither is a clergyman, as stated, nor (to use your winds) doei he wear the robes of the Chris tian ministry; but, if I am not misinformed he is. now in the service of the Weston alluded to in Mn Wells' daily advertising programme.

' Opening of the cz Broad Gauge from New York to Cleveland—The Celebra tion a Success. • {Correspondence of the N. Y. Express.] MEADVILLE, Pa., Nov. 18. The exouraioniste who left New York in a special train at 1 P. DI., yesterday, on their way to Cleve land to celebrate the opening of the A. and G.. W. Railwayto that point, arrived at Meadville at about 8 o'clock A. M. today. The party, after leaving New York, was increased by additions at various stations along the road, and arrived here with five coaches full. The citizens hid congregated at the depot, and the train was welcomed with the die charge-of cannon and the inspiring notes of music. Over the track were displayed, in the form - of an arch, the following words: " New YOWK. AND OHIO ABE WELCOME TO THE WAY THROIIGH OUR STATE." Beneath these words Were the names, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania. There is not, perhaps, a more complete and meg nificent railway station in America than this depot and its appurtenances. And it has been made such because It is the main diningpoint of the great con tinuous broad-gauge railroad from New York to St. Louis, the formal opening of which to Cleveland is to be celebrated in that city to-day. The (Wet building is three hundred and twenty. seven feet in length, and about eighty in height. Through its centre run three tracks for the passen ger trains. Wide platforms extend along both sides. Upon one aide are the ticket office, telegraph offise, reception rooms, and all the main offices of the com pany, elegantly and fully arranged for the tratleae: Iron of business. the opposite side is the new hotel, which is to be kept by Taylor, formerly of the Angier, Cleveland. The great feature of this hotel is the immense railroad dining hall. two hundred feet long, and about thirty feet wide, and thirty-five feet high to the ceiling. = It is profusely lighted upon both sides'. • The finish and adorning of the rooms are superb, being all in black walnut. Overhead, the rafters and stringers are in full view after the style of Episcopal churches, while at the eastern end a great stained glass window increases the re. semblance. In range with the - dining hall are the offices, &c., of the hotel, while - the hotel proper ex tends as an L from the western end of the d6pOt two hundred and ten feet. This is furnished and supplied with all the conveniences and luxuries of any me tropolitan house. The grounds about the hotel are being graded and laid out artistically. Five acres immediately about the hotel will be laid out as a pleasure garden, with walks, arbors, fountains, &c. In shoit, the McHenry House, as it is called, will be one of the best to befOund in all the States. The railroad company are in possession of a large quan. tity of land adjacent to the depet, which has here tofore been farm and meadow land, and are erecting very extensive works, which will be models of their kind. Of Meadville itself a word. It is located upon French creek, a tributary of the Allegheny. Is 513 miles from New York by rail. Its population in 1860 was 6,000, and is now from 6,000 to 7,000. Toe building of the A. Sr. G. W. has given a great impe tus to business, and its opening will continue to increase trade and popffiation. Meadville is the business centre of oge of the finest sections of Penn sylvania, embracing Crawford, and portions of "Ve nango and Mercer counties, with a population ex ceeding 100,060. A large direct trade is carried on here with the oil regions of the State. A branch of the A.-& G. W. Railway extends to Franklin, on the Allegheny river, and is being pushed forward to Oil City. The French creek extension of the Erie (Pa.) canal affords water communication with Lake Erie and the Ohio river. Meadville can boast of much Wealth and intelli gence. There are three weekly newspapers pub lished within its limits—two Republican and one Democratic. The worst thing I can say of the town and county is that the - county gave Curtin a majority Of 1,900. The train from Cleveland, which is to escort our delegation to that pity, has arrived. Eleven cars are full. We take lunch together, then oft'. • THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILROAD. The Atlantic and Great Western ,Railway was projected some time previous to 18.51.0 i the finan cial crisis of that year it went the t Ofee many other schemes. In 1859 the enterprise was taken in band by parties abroad—who, we cannot say. But they heel a plenty of money. James INlClieol7,lla eminent London merchant, publicly appeared in the matter, and furnished the funds, of which there hal bcen ano /504. Mr. T. Vt. Kennitd, a graduate of the Enghieersi Department, of King's College, London, a young man, but one who had charge of various important works in England, Wales, , and Spain, wee sent to this country to organize and construct the work. He has Shown himself, in an eminent degree, the right man for the right place. Mr. .Kennard began operations upon the A. & G. W. in 1860, building sixty miles during the year from Salamanca, the junction with, the Erie, to Corry. The war then stopped the work until Slay, 1862. Between that time and January 1, 1864, twenty months, Ddr. Kennard will have built and stocked five hundred miles of road. To do this, he hasimported from Canada and Europe fifteen thou sand men. The work has all been done by the day. -No contractors have intervened between the COW struclors and the operatives. ale. Kennard's as. sistants have been John H R. Rose and Clinton Coleman, assistant engineers; Daniel B. Bostwick, eupetintendent of bridges, timber, and stations; and William Lee, euPerintenuent of construction. Mr. C. E. E. Blakesley, private secretary, Completes Mr. K.'s staff. But of the Atlantic and Great Western railway a few partieulm a as to length and direction. The prominent feature is to establish a Continuous rail way track of six feet gauge between Boston and St. Louis, with branches. Tne building of the link be tween Boston and Fishkill, two hundred and forty miles, is now under negotiation. Front New York rune the Erie to Salamanca, 414 miles. From St. Louis runs the Ohio and Mississippi, 360 miles. The main trunk of the A. and G. W. is to form the con necting link between Salamanca, New York, and Dayton ' 0hi0,387 miles. Branches from Leaving'. burg to Cleveand, 60 miles • from:Dayton to Cincin natti, 60 miles ; Oil Creek' road, 55; Leavittsborg and Youngstown, 17; Hubbardstown 12 miles. When the main stern of the A. and G . W. is coin. pleted, and it will be by the opening, of the next year, there will be a continuous" broad gauge " road from St. Louis to New York, 1,201 miles. From St. Louis to Boston; is 1,441 miles. It will' be seen that the A. and G. W., when finished, will be one of the great railway mar vels of our country, in length and everything else. It will not only supply a great local want in fur nishing an outlet for the oil, minerals, and agri cultural products of Northwestern Pennsylvania and Northwestern Ohio, but will add greatly to the commercial connections of the East with the West. And these connections cannot be increased so rapidly during the next fifty yea s as to make their number and capacity equal to the demands that will be made upon them. Next year, cars will be loaded in St. LoUis and take their freight into New York without change, over a six-foot gauge, which is so convenient for shippers, and eo comfortable for passengers. Anti „saloon care, supplied with necessary - refresh- ments on board the train, will takeprivate families from the Mississippi to the Atlantic, or in the oppo site direction. THE.

In response to the toast of "The Army and Navy of the United States, ,, General Roses:rani - made a few remarks in relation to the efficiency of the vo lunteer army : In reference to the volunteer army he said that he could justly pay a high tribute to their valor and courage. In that they were not excelled by any peo ple. They were also full of patriotism, and at' the same time free from the feelings of hatred and re venge. They did not hate their enemies, nor did they seek to revenge themselves on them on the battle-field. They fought out of pure patriotism. It was perhaps true tnat the discipline in the vo lunteer army was not as good as to satisfy all the strict requirements, but this was owing to the mate rial conoposing the army. Men of all classes were in all ranks in thelvolunteer army. Ordinary dis tinctions of class or position were swept away, and the officer everywhere found himself commanding his most intimate associates in the ranks. Under such circumstances it was imposkible to keep up the distinction of rank such as obtains in regular armies, and the discipline was, therefore, not so per fect.. But in the battledield everything was merged in the business of fighting. Every man was fighting individually, and was his own: captain, if he could not find A captain to fight under. As an evidence of this he mentioned a little inci dent that occurred at the battle of Chickamauga. An officer ran off, from the field, when, a private of his company snatched up a musket, ran after him, halted him and. brought him back, saying he would be d—d it hei would be deserted by his officers. SPEECH OF ME. NVANS, OH. LONDON. The leading speech of the occasion was made by wm. W. Evans, of London, President of the Eng lish Emancipation Society. Mr. E. is one of tue most influential directors of the A. and G. W. Rail way. His speech was chiefly devoted to a discus sion of American finances. I have not space to fol low his arguments, but will simply give his cousin. lions. He regarded the present prosperity of the North as genuine and substantial—witidiardly a parallel in history. He entertained no doubt that the national debt would be readily paid. So great 10513 his faith that such would be the case, that he cheerfully invested the property of himself and children in the securities of the United States. = M! After the dinner came the ball.

But as they cannot be, We must call upon the unbounded liberality and patriotism of our citizens to furnish $2,000, with which to com plete and test this cannon, that the Government may obtain it, and by it command the peace of all nations towards us. The inventor does not ask anything u a donation. but proposes to convey an equitable interest to who ever furnishes the above sum. Its immense value and importance will, justify the Small outlay re quired to determine the fact.

LITERATIIIIK. A CRITICAL HIE.TORY OF THE DOCTRINE OF A FITTIIRI3 LIFE With a complete Bibliography of the enbjrct. By William Romiseirlle Algar One voL large Bvo. „tip. 924 Philadelphia: Oeorge W. Childs. Itlr. Alger,. a writer of whom New England, pro• ductive of rip: scholars, may be proud, is already well known Isy a volume, published in 185 E, en titled "Orientsi Poetry," consisting of metrical specimens of the Thought, Sentiment, and Policy of the East, with as historical introduction, full of in formation about the poetry and poets of the golden Orient. His specimens are drawn largely, but not exclusively, from the Hindu,. Persian, and Atab writers, and the volume, though small, is one which to scholars ignorant. of the Eastern tongue must be invaluable. - Mr. Alger's new work is important, not merely as a contribution to religion', literature, but as a com plete history of thateoul-suataining hope and trust of Christianity—the doctrine of a FutuneLife. With. out such a hope and belief no religion can have a permanent anchorage on the human heart. As Mr. Alger shows, in the second part of his book, all nations have had some belief in the doctrine of a future life—in A land of souls beyond that sable shore.' This is a doctrine on which men cannot help think. ing. The present volume epitomizes what mail.. kind have thought on the life to come. As Mr. Alger finely says : " The majestic theme of our illl.- mortality allures yet barites us. No fleshly imple ment of logic or cunning tact of brain can reach to the solution. That secret lies in a tissueless realm whereof no nerve can report beforehand. We must wait a little. Soon we shall grope and guess no more, but grasp and know." The work is in five parts. 1. Historical andDriti • cal Introductory Views. 2. Ethnic Thoughts Con. cerning a Future Life. 3. New Testament Teach ings concerning a Future Life. 4. Christian Thoughts concerning a Future Life. 6. Historical and Critical Dissertations concerning a Future Life. These, with a full Index of Topics and Au thors, occupy 676 pages of the book, to which is added an Appendix of 250, pages, entitled "Litera ture of the Doctrine of a Future Lire," being a mita. logue of works relating to the Nature, Origin, and_ Destiny of the Soul with the titles classified and arranged chronologically, with notes and indexes of author& 'and subjects. This has been contributed. by Mr. Ezra Abbott, Jr., Associate Librarian of Harvard University, and adds immensely to the value of Mr. Alger , ' History. It gives the title, author, date, size, and place of printing of 5,000 distinct publieations--all clearly Subdivided under appropriate heads, distributed in order of time, and furnished with an index of Au. thorn and an index of subjects. This work is timely. So many'fragmentary works have appeared, that it was time for a , fall survey to be taken. The public mind has -been thrown into such a chaos of late, especially by Spiriraalists, that something full, distinct, and definite was needed. The plan and arrangement are systematic, archi tectural, and clear. The materials here given are exhaustive : everything of interest or importance on each branch of the subject is here. The details are thoroughly elaborated and grouped ; no mere collection of facts, but facts transmitted by thought, and presented on these relations. Perfect distinct. ness of topic and clearness of statement charac terize the woik. Each thing is placed under its pro per head. Thete is neither conrueicin, vagileaele nor dubious language. The remarkable conderdiation is another ad vantage. Ilundrede of volumes have been W r itten on the arguments for a future We— ever two bunched and fifty on future recogni tion of No argument or considerationc really belonging to the themes, can be found in- these numerous volumes Which is not cleu ly stated in this History. Close catenalidii of thought and firmly.jointed logic are here united with glowing fanoy, imaginative sympathy, pictu rerque and living style. Its spirit is tender and Catholic, and it is fair and kind towards unbelievers and skeptics. Amazing for its extent and exactness bits Bibliographic information and the arritn;enimit of the works catalogued being in chronological or der, we thus have the historic developmeat ef thought on each of the great themes included under the general subject. The facts lucidly stated can no where be found gathered in any language on earth. This gives the work an immense independ ent value, and makes it indispersable to every stu dent in this vast The typographical execution of this volume Ns highly creditable to the publishing craft of Phila— delphia. - _ P~Rso~A~: —Archbishop M. Hale hat brought to tbe repent ant stool one of the most violent of Irish patriots. " Father " Lavelle, "impelled by a sense - of duty,'. and "acting under obedience," has published a let ter, in which he expresses regret for having penned the words, " Were T the unjustly evicted, either I or the landlord should fall." The sentence 'w.ss veer naturally interpreted as an encouragement to . the Irish peasantry lo shoot their landlords. He admit* that he has " written some things too strong in lan guage, at least for a minister of the Most High; and finally, he • submits all his writings and speeches , to the judgment of the Holy See." The Europe, of Frankfort, says: "The two sons; of the Marquis Wielopolski were yesterday (Oat, 23) at theliursaal of Homburg. Capt. Danielecski, prosehing them, reproached Count Wielopokki for his conduct in Poland. An altercation ensued, then a personal affray, during which the younger son of: the Marquis drew his revolver and aimed it at the Captain, but he was suddenly surrounded and dis armed. The two young men have since left Hom burg. Their passports, which they showed to the police, authorized them to carry arms." —ln a letter to a friend, which has just been pub. fished, Cardinal Wiseman says: "In reply to your inquiry relative to an assertion in the Saturday Re. view that would willingly give back all the eon verts, except one, to Protestantism,' I assure you that such an expression never passed my lips, nor did such an idea ever enter my mind. On the con trary, I have always thanked God for bringing then/ to us in His church ; nor has there ever been one so guided about whom I could have entertained or ex pressed so uncharitable and un-Catholic a senti ment:, -- Hon. Henry S. Randall, of Cortland Village! New York, and author of a "Life of Jefferson," writing to a friend, says : Alas ! how his descend. ante are divided in this war ! All his grandsons go with the South. George Wythe Randolph, late Confederate Secretary of War, is one of these-- misled on this question, but a noble man: So is his older brotlaer,,Thomas J. Randolph.- Dr. Ben. Ran. dolph I never met. All his granddaughters but one • (she is a resident of New York) are firmly for the Union, and so are their husbands, where they are married. Two of them have eons in our armies, who are liable any day to meet their kinsmen in battle. N. P. Trist, whe married Virginia Randolph, is devoted Union man. He has a daughter married to a Confederate.- She stands up resolutely for the Union, and would if the scaffold was before her. But I forget these details do not interest you as they do me.,, Dr. Francis Lieber writes to the New York Times: "I would ask, should you think it worth your while, whether you would do me the favor to state in your journal that the assertion of my having had anything whatever to do with the questions put to drafted persons as to their fitness, or with any thing concerningtheir exemption, or with any de tails of the drafting act of Congress, is an utter and unqualified untruth. There is not even a glimmer of truth in it,mor can I see how this misstatement could have originated by an involuntary misappre hension of some fact or other.". —lt seems that Mx. Mason, or Virginia and the Confederate States, has not shaken off the dust of his shoes in reprobation of 'an unappreciative British Government, and departed for Paris, as stated. He lingers yet, in sweet seclusion, upon the muddy banks of Thames, the guest of Mr. W.- S. Lindsay, M. p:, enjoying the solace of his society, and that of a certain Colonel Lamar, or South Carolina, who last week addressed - an agricultural I meeting at Chertsey on the charma of Southern life and slavery. He is not, as one would naturally suppose, the Lamar of the yacht Wanderer, or at least he denies it, through the medium of his English friend. Hon. Reverdy Johnson is th. 2 father of the Senate, having Irat taken his sear there as a Sena tor from Maryland in 1845, but he has not occupied it continuously, while Hon. John.P. Hale has been a Senator from New Hampshire sines 1847. SO in the House,. Hon. Kr. Washburn, the radical midi date for speaker, har. represented Me district longer, continuously, than nny other Representative; but Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania, .was a member some yeara before his term commenced. It may not be uninteresting to state that the "father' , of th e correepondants (Doyen, the French call it) is Pat. E. Kingman,. who has written front Washington at least a scare of years, and next in seniority on the • roll of service is Perley PoOre, who has plied . his pen since 1845 The Germans in Washington are just now jubi- . lant over a. letter from Carl S churn to Leslie Coombs, , of Kentucky, in answer to a. sneer from the latter, about the " elancellorville races." General Carl says that, although a good shot with his pistol, he declines to take adiantage of the Kentuckian, kut challenges him to join hint in the held, and to show which can reost bravely meet the foe. --_Erigadier General S..
