Pennsylvania and her Assailants.
Pennsylvania has received much harsh
triticism of her action in regard to the late
invasion, 'and the truth of some of these
strictures cannot be, denied, though its
- acknowledgment is humiliating. But from
the sweeping censure of some of the New
'York journals it would seem that they re
.gard the 7 Keystone State as a land where
cowardice and imbecility is the ruling
-spirit, and energy and courage exceptional
virtues. To this the history of the war
gives the lie direct, and we are not disposed
to answer in detail charges which are mani
festly false, and have never been repeated
by impartial judges. If Pennsylvania is
degraded, 'then we have no hope fOr the
rest of the Union. Is it forgotten that this
State has sent an army to the war ? What
other State has sent more men in propor
tion to hi - population ? Wha.t o other people
have shown more patriotism than ours ?
We condemn ourselves chiefly for culpa
ble indifference in the choice of legislators.
It is a disgrace to the more loyal and in
s telligent voters especially that they have
permitted the election of so many venal,
disloyal, and incapable legislators. The
'root of our evils is the failure to elect good
men to the Legislature. Had this body
been largely composed of intelligent and
earnest men, the conduct of the people
would have been very different; While it
is untrue that our citizens were apathelic,
or afraid of the invasion, it must be4d
mitted that they did not show the Aotitity
that we had the right to eximet. - Men
enlisted, it is true. Harrisburg was er6wded
with men ; Philadelphia sent hundreds to
the field at once, and three regiments will
start for the front this week. But the un
pardonable failure of the Legislature to
.create a practical militia system resulted in
the utter confusion of the military affairs of
• the State. All the efforts of the Executive
Department to bring order out of this chaos
were necessarily hampered, and partially
ineffective. It is not strange, indeed, that
the people of Pennsylvania, at such short
notice, did so little, but that they did so
- much. It may he well, too, if we remind
the defamers of Pennsylvania that it is
hardly decorous for New York . , which
could not put down a riot in its,own streets,
to abuse this State for its failure to crush an
invasion in a Week,
Maulifacturing au Oppositlon.
The awful note of preparation for the
expected event at Chicago has just been
sounded from Washington, by a number of
Democratic Congressmen,. led by the Oppo
sition members from this State. Mr.
CHARLES BHORALE*, who, unfortunately,
is one of the Senators from Pennsylyania,
has bad the peculiar honor or holding the
trumpet, and • the result of his efforts is a
blast elaborately feeble against the policy
of the Government. The public can veay
well imagine what Mr. 1317DEALEW has to
say. He is reputed to a student of the
late Mr. CALtrourf, of South Carolina, and it
is notto be wondered, therefore, that so
much of his arguinent is built upon State
exclusiveness to the denial of the National'
power. Of Course, he objects to "military
interference," and which.he instances the
cases of Maryland, Delaware, Missouri, Ar
kansas, and Louisiana, States more or less
tainted with secession and its congenial
spirit—slavery ; to negro troops, who, he
says, are merely an expense to the country,
without compensation ; to the equali
ty of negro soldiers with white in
pay and provision ; to arbitrary ar
rests; corruption of race and corrupt
Government; to the , Government plan of
reconstruction, and a few items more,
'which are readily imaginable. Mr. BITCH
ALEW has been shrewdly laboring, with his
best ingenuity; to make -- one a case ; 'and
though we must compliment him upon the
industry which he displays through ten
columns of type, it is unnecessary to write
ten columns to contradict him. The aim of
Mr. Buts. LEW :andahis friends, in this
practical and cautious effort, is to manipu
late into some array the odds and ends of
opposition. They are even willing to
veil their enmity to Freedom in their
opposition to the President, and do
not seek to gain a principle, but rather a
point, which is Mr. BucKATxw's faVorite
idea of statesmanship. This document is,
,
therefore, not remarkable as a work of con
science, and only reveals the old pro-sla
very bias but slightly shaped by circum
stances. The Peace Democrats, and espe
cially FERNANDO WOOD, were the first to
suggest the idea of Dictatorship in the per
son of McCLELLAN ; and to show that such
a chimera still exists in the Democratic
nuind, Mr. BIICRALEW repeats the idea.
Has any other party presented to the peo
ple such an alternative as this ?—and yet
these are the loudest in clamoring about
arbitrary arrests I
The problem for us now to solve is this : Are the
people of the 'United States competent to organize
themselves in defence of. their system of free go
-vernment and voluntary union, or must they resort
to a dictator, armed with large powers who will
crush faction and restore peace and anion at the
sacrifice of liberty 1 Evil in the State will not die
out if left to itself. Some instrument adequate to
its extirpation must be sought and found, in the
dl-
Teotion of either dictatorial or popular power:'
The New Holy Alliance.
Austria has declared, through its Mi
nister at London, that it has not become a
party to the new "Holy Alliance," said to
lave been entered into, at Kissengen; be
tween ALEXANDER 11., WILLIAM L of
Prussia, and FRANCIS • josnru of Austria.
It appears that the Horning Post published
a letter from Count RECHBERG to Prince
lifitrrannrcn, in which reference was made
to this new Holy Alliance. The Morning
Post is said to be the personal property of
- Lord PALotnnerox, and wholly under his
-direction. ‘Therefore, the appearance Of
- the Rechberg letter in that journal was
_significant. -It showed, at any rate; that
PAustensTox - accepted the doe,ument as
authentic. The Horning Herald, which is
Lord DEBBY'S organ, also published the
letter now repudiated by its preowned an-,
thor, and, in spite of his denial, reaffirms
its belief in its accuracy. Of course; noon:`"
tan go beyond Count RECHBERG'S repudia
tion of thedocument-Lthough, no doubt,
public opinion will continue divided upon
it. To write .a letter and to deny it, when
acknowledgment would be troublesome or
dangerous, is not a novelty among Euro
pean statesmen. It is consoling to know,
however, that Austria is-ashamed of being
accused of complicity with Russia and
Prussia in re-establishing the unholy "Holy
Alliance."
The Daily Taegraph, which has generally
supported PAlN:sumo - Ws policy and is dis
tinguished for its able foreign articles,
'wholly refuses to adopt the Austrian or any
other repudiition of the new compact be
tween the Sovereigns who met at Kissen.-
gen. It says : " The time seems coming
when not a mere strip of Schleswig, but
the cause of constitutional government
against the anointed Houses ,
will be dis
puted. Another Holy Allianeedarkens upon
Europe, and covers with its evil shadow al
ready more than Dennwerk. For Denmark's
sake are we to pawn the force that may be
needed against that coalition, to discount
the future at a desperate rate, to give to
sentiment and passion now what we may
need for a vast principle and a vital mo
ment in Europe ? Is not our true policy
rather a painful •patience and a vigilant and
armed observation ?"
The .Record, a Church- journal of large
circtdation
,and much influence, declares
- that Englandls vacillation, as to Denmark,
certainly has tempted the Royal Conclave
at Kissengen to make a new treaty against
the liberties of Europe, hilt (evidently
glancing at Queen V*PORIA.'S personal
Interference in public. matters) adds:
Therlt is good reason , to believe that
had Lord E'AlanuutroN, been permitted at
ftrg to carry out_lass own po4oy, there
would have been a better chance of peace,
whilst the influence of England would have
stood higher in Europe."
An alliance of leading Powers which
exclude France 'and England—the first as
dangerous and the second as feeble—is sufh
cient to awaken apprehension in Europe.
The leading political journals of Paris and
London , have one consolation—namelY,
that this exclusion, indicative of insult or
contempt, may lead 'to a renewal of the
good understanding which existed between
France and England up to last November,
when Lord RussEm sneeringly rejected
NAPOLEON' is proposal for a Congress at
Paris.
A Good Example.
On the last day of June an occurrence
took place in London which ought not hive
been so long delayed. The tolls on all the
thoroughfares within a given radius . of the
metropolis (five miles) were abolished, and
the gates'and bars that obstructed the high
ways were removed. The abolition applies
only to the northern side of the Thames ;
the tolls of the south side are untouched by
the change; but, says the Stancia,rd, it is
supposed they will not long survive the de
struction of their" companions on the north.
In all, twenty-five toll-bars and fifty-six
side bars have been abolished on the Mid
dlesex side of the Thames. We take leave
to suggest that this example be followed in
Philadelphia. When the county was le
gally absorbed in the city, every toll-bar
ought then to have been abolished, for it is
intolerable that within the limits of any city
heavy tolls should be levied on vehicles
and animals traversing, its streets. It is
not yet 'too late to give us as fre - e travel
through the city of Philadelphia .as there
is in New "York and other places.
Captain Semmes's Sword.
Commenting on the suggestion that a
subscription should be raised in London to
obtain a sword for Captain SmntEs, the
ilitestratedllielosof the World, which often
bits the right nail and drives it home, has
the following pithy remarks on mistaken
sympathies
"Captain Semmes, of the Alabama, has ended
for a time his career of plunder. For long he has
been the terror of the Federal commercial marine,
and has given sensible Englishmen an idea of the
frightful injury they might suffer In case we were to
go to war. Many grave questions have been sug
gested by the Alabama's career, and certainly she.
has met with the fate she richly deserved. She lies
peaccililly under the blue waves fully. many a
fathom deep. in Fter,first real encounter with a ship
of war she had no chance. For once her agility In
running away did her no good, nor could she resort
to the ruse of hoisting English colors— there was no
thing for her but to light and fail. But' this Is not
enough for some silly enthusiasts. Captain Semmes
must bo made a hero of—lie must be presented with
a Afford ; and Commander Pito, writing from the
Jailor 'United Service Club, with the sanction of
Admiral Anson, so far forgets himself, and What is
due to his position as an English officer,.to call upon
the public handsomely to subscribe their mite to this
testimony to 'unflinching patriotism and naval
daring.' That Captain Semmes deserves well of the
South we readily admit—he has done his duty.to his
country, and claims thanks at her hands; but of his
gallant daring—as illustrated in burning Mins en
gaged in peaceful occupations of commerce—the less
said the better ; and wo regret deeply to find that
such conduct meets with the approval of men whom
it may, at some time not very remote, be our misfor
tune to see placed at the head of our fleet, and In a
position to imitate the gallantry, the daring of
which we so much question. In his crusades against
the unarmed, Captain Seinmes,is no model for an
.English gentleman and sailor; and the tone of the ser
vice must indeed be low if the feeling popular In it
is representedly such men as Commander Pins or
Admiral Anson. The giddy will, in search of a sen
sation, cheer Captain Semmes, as his is the last
name that has turned up ; but sensible men ought
to know batter than to do anything of the kind."
This is very much to the purpose. We
have not heard what progress, if any, the
subscription made, but the two naval offi
cers, PIK and Arcsow, are said to have re
ceived it hint from the Duke of SOMERSET,
head of the British Admiralty, that they
would do well to mind their own business.

Some of the recent cartoons in Pu,nch,
draWn by Jorm - TENITIM, are not without
wit. "A proposal was made, it may be re
membered, to deprive Denmark of the
whole of Holstein, and a moiety of Schles
wig. Punch has depicted Lord RussELL
",dressed up as a parish beadle, in the cos
-time affected by _Mr. Bumble, in "Oliver

Is marked " Conference," holding a loaf
of bread, called "Schleswig," in his little
band, which he has cut in two with a huge
knife. ' He is offering part of this to a
sdy soldier, wearing a battered crown,
and the Orders of the Elephant and of the
Danebrog. This is intended for the King
of Denmark, who, moreover, has his right
arm in a sling, and is wounded in the head.
The Dane is contemptuously turning away,
buf the little Beadle says : " Better take it I.
Half a, loaf's better than no _bread, you

Another (cartoon is entitled " Jack on the
Crisis," and represents a couple of En,giish
Jack-tars, well-built and active "salts,"
who are in the presence of a Prussian sai
lor, on the seashore. This latter person, ,
wearing a small cap on the top of his head,
long hair,-round spectacles, great mousta
ches, and large unmentionables, is at once
undersized and Dutch-built; and has one
hand in his pocket ; the other ,sustaining an
cnormous•meerschaum, and a telescope un
der his arm. One British sailor, pointing
back with his thumb to this foreign sea-
man, says to Lis comrade, " Wow it, Bill !
We can't be expected to fight a lot o' lub
berly swabs like him. We'll kick 'em, if
that'll do." -
Gun CrTIZENB owe it to themselves to
press earnestly forward the work of volun
teering. Men of means should furnish a
double representation of recruits, and all
who have influence should see that the
quotas are rapidly filled. Our Statt itself
can become a great recruiting agent, ' and
to the extent of all its power it should aid
the people to answer the new call without
the resort to draft. Governor CURTIN is
now, 'we understand, making arrange
ments to recruit in the rebel States ; but
only a portion of the demand can be sup
plied in this *ay. It is . •necessary that
public spirit shmild be generally roused to
fill the State quota in the fifty days of
preparation before us. • .

WASHINGTON, July 19
CAPTAIN 1119IMEN C. B.:A. N.
/nue 18,1864. -
Out of Cherbourg harbor, one clear
Sunday morning, the cavalier
Captain Semmes, with his cap a-cook,
Sailed from the friendly Frenchman's dock.
Gaily along the rebel came,
Under the flag of the cross of shame ;
Knight of the handcuff and bloody lash,
He twisted the point of his red moustache,
And swore, in English not over nice,
To sink our Yankee scum in a trice,
Or burn our ship, as the thing might be,
Where the eyes of Cherbourg all should see.
" Heigho-ho you don't say so I" '
Whispered his friend, little -Sean Crapea,u.
Semmes has been a wolf of the deep
For many a day to harmless sheep ;
Ships he scuttled and robbed and burned,
Watches pilfered and pockets turned ;
And all his plunder, bonds, and gold,
' He left for his Gallic friend to hold.
A little over prudent was he
For a cavalier of high degree ;
And Raphael Semmes don't sound, indeed,
As if it came of the purple seed; •
But all the blood in his veins was blue,
And his clay was porcelain through and
through.
Heigh-ho ! the Lord doth know
We are but dirt, and our blood's so-so.
What - will the doughty Captain do
With his British ship, his British crew,
His gunners, trained in the " Excellent,"
The guns his cousin Blakely sent,
His shot and shell at Woolwich made, -
What will he do with the whole parade ?
Up to the top of his cliffs Crapeau
Had clambered to see the Sunday show ;
And his brother Bull, in his fancy yacht,
Stood off end on towards the fated spot
And right across the bold Captain's way
The Eearsarge steamed in her war array.
"Heigh-ho!" said Semmes, "Let's bIOW
That craft to splinteii Vero're we go."
Semmes had heard, with his lip a-curl,
In Cherbourg, that some ls.torthern churl,
Backed ;by a gang of . onion-eaters,
Waited the noble negro-beaters.
Shop-keeping, peddling, vulgar knaves,
To stick their heads into open graves
"'S death ! '8 wounds ! Ods bodkins IHa !
what then,
Will they dare to fight with gentlemen ?
O had I my lance and shield and things,
With which I tilted at Sulphur -Springs !
Or a troop of horse marines 1 ' - Of course,
A knight is nothing without his herse."
Heigh-ho 1 this seemed to show
Oux hero's spirita were running low.
Straight out to sea the Kearsarge drew,
And Semmes, who followed all that flew,
Followed, perhaps by some mistake,
Close in his foeman's frothing wake.
But when three leagues were gained from
shore,
Slowly and grimly the Yankee write ;
And our starry ensign leaped above,
Round which the wind, like a flattering
dove, .
Cooed low, and the sunshine of God's day
Like an open blessing on it lay;
So we felt our friendless ship would fight
Full under the great Disposer's sight.
1 Heigh-ho ! 'tis well to know
Who looks on the deeds done here below.
Semmes led the waltz and struck the tune-:
Shots at the sea and at the moon
The swashing, wasteful cavalier,
Scattered around, him far and near.
The saving Yankees squandered not
An ounce of powder or pound of shot.
They held their peace till the guns would
tell,
Then out they burst like '
the mouths of hell.
Terrible, horrible ! how they tore
The Alabama, until the gore
From her bursting scuppers smoked and
streamed,
The dying groaned and the wounded
screamed
"Heigh-ho 1" said Semmes "let's
show
The Yankees the heels we boast of so.",
Seven times'in that deadly round
Sped the ships to the cannon's sound.
The vulture, through the smoke and din,-
Saw the eagle?'' circles 'nfirrowingin ;
And every time her pivot roared
The fatal bomb-shells uam straight aboard.'
His helm was useless, his engine failed,
His powder was wet, his Britons quailed;
And in his course, like a warning hand,
Stretched forth the flag of his outraged
land.
In vain he hoisted his sails to flee ;
For each foot he sailed, his foe sailedthree.
Heigh-ho ! Why here's a bloW"
Said Semmes, as he hauled his flag below.
Weli was it for the cavalier,
That brother Bull was lying near.
I His vessel with a haughty curl
Turned up her nose, and, in 'the whirl
Of the white sea, stern,foremost, tore
As if in scorn of the crew she,bore.
- Then the thrifty Briton launched his boat,
To pick up aught that might - be afloat, -
And amongst other leis precious spoil,
Fished swordless Semmes from his watery
coil ;
" Hide me !" the gallant cried in afright ;
" Cover me up from the Yankee's sight."
• Heigh-hot they laid bim low,
With a bit of sail to hide his woe.
Safely they bore the, chief aboard,
Leaving behind his fame and sword
And then the Deerhound stole away,
Lest Winslow's*guns might have . p ! say ; -
Landed him in Southateptontowii;
- Where heroes like,him have had renown,
Ever since Lawrence, Perry, and Hull,
Took hold of the horns df great John Bull.
Had I been Winslow, I say to you,
As the sea is green, the sky is blue,
Through the Deerhound I'd have sent a
shot, .
And John might have liked the thing or
not.
Heigh-ho I come , soon or slow,
In the end we are bound to haveAt blow.
What said the Frenchman from his:hill,
After the cannon-shots were still ?
What said the Briton from his deck,
Gazing down on the sunken wreck?
Something was said of guns like mortars,
And something of smooth-bores at close
quarters ; . -
Chain armor furnished a word or two,
But the end . of all was both looked blue.
They sighed again o'er the " Great Conten-
"Um,"
But never hinted at "rntdri , entien."
One thing they wished-;W& they dared
,
not say,

REPORTS AMBIT ATLANTA-=TRH EVACUATION
COMArtINCED sEVRRAI, WEEKS PAST.
NEW Yonrc, - July 19.—A special' despatCh from
Nashville says the report about Atlanta being °eon
pied.by our troops is without foundation. All kinds
of rumors are afloat regarding the evacuation of At
lanta. Reports say that during the delay of Gene.
ral Sherman at the river the enemy had-been ena.
bled to get airay his valuables, but in opposition to
this, it is well known that they had been sent weeks
ago to Augusta. The evacuation of Atlanta really
began several weeks ago. '
/ General Sherman yesterday moved out of his
works on the south side of the Qhattahoochle tout:
tack Johnston's forces if found in front of them, or
to occupy the city in the event of a retreat. Nothing
later than the information that he had moved had
been received here, but we hope tormorrow to ati
nounce the occupation of Atlanta. It la believed
here that during the halt at the Chattahooehle
Gen. Sherman completely destroyed all the .rebel,
communications between Atlanta and Riehmond,:i
and between Atlanta and Montgomery.
THE RETORTED CAPTURE OP ATLA.NTA..
WASHINGTON,MiIy 10.—The Evening . .91areirilts
late edition says no intelligence has been received'
here by the Government confirmatory of the report
of the capture of Atlanta coining from Norfolk, but
all the information from Sherman's army is in the
highest degree encouraging, showing the capture of
that city by Sherman at no distant day is a matter
almost of certainty.'
SHERMAN'S ADVANCE CONFIRMED.
WASHINGTON, July 19.—A despatch from an offi
cial source confirms the 'statement published this
Morning, that General Shermares force, one part of
It, had crossed the Chattatioochie. Only a small
cavalry force of the enemy were encountered.
Skillman subsequently occupied his troops in tearing
up the rallrondof most use to the rebels. The
distance of his forces from Atlanta Is not mentioned

leave New Orleans, for •New York, during the week
following the 12th inst., but the malls for the North

steamer.
The Xrue Della claims to have positive informs.
tion thrit the rebel Dick Taylor left Alexandria
three weeks since, for Richmond, and that the troops
lately under him are now commanded by General
Walker. It is the belief at Alexanfirla that Taylor,
who has lately been made lieutenant general, hopes
to be assigned to the command of the TranS-BilSsla-
Kipp' Department, in place of Kirby Smith. Taylor
being a brother-in-law of . Jeff Davis, this change is
considered quite probable.

IMPORTANT MOVRWTB 07 TROOPS IN LOUISIANA.:
ST. LOUIS, July IST—The Delon pilbliSheS OXF
tract from a priVate letter dated at New Orleans,
July 7th, which says : ilLastnight staff officers told
me 15,000 men would start from this city and
below in ocean steamers to-day. They are to take
fifteen days' rations, and an ammunition ship ac
companies the expedition. There are now a largo
number of additional gunboats in Lake Poncha.r
train, and more vessels have been added to the fleet
off Mobile. Some think this expedition is intended
for the capture of Note°, so as to possess the Ala
bama river and establish a base of supplies for
Sherman at Selma, while others believe -the broops
are destined for Fortreas Monroe:,
This; iprce may be designed to co-operate with
Gen. Slocum's expedition from Vicksburg, which
has recently been reinforced, and is again marching
to the interior of Mississippi.
The rebel accounts of Slocum's expedition to Jack
son) ]lies., claim that the Federal column, under
General Elliott, were attacked at the junction of the
Port Hudson and Rodney Railroad, on the Sth, and
were. repulsed with groat slaughter, the road for
miles being strewn with. dead negroes, horses, and
guns.
This doubtlees refers to the expedition consisting
of the Marine Brigade, and two regiments of no
groes, which marched from Rodney on the 4th, and
were attacked by five brigades of rebel cavalry aid
one of infantry, and, after fighting nearly all day,
the rebels were driven off, and our troops returned
to their boats. Our loss was about 160 killed, woiutd

Yesterday was a grand gala day among the color

Vas generally understood that the brigade colored
band from Camp Penn Would arrive heri at noon,
and our dark-skinned population turned out to give
them a cordial welcome.. The band marched through
the streets, and serenaded some of the principal ci
tizens, discoursing tolerably good musio for the
length of time It has been in existence.
In the evening a grand war meeting was held in
the fine, large church, belonging to the Zion con
nection, for which purpose the band was brought
here to stimulate military enthusiasm. The meet
ing was the largest ever held among the American
citizens of African descent in this city, but scarcely
productito of satisfactory results. Rpeechea :ware
made by Lieutenant Colonel Evens, of Camp
IlamPenn ; Rev. Mr. Nelson, of this city; Bishops
Wayman and Clinton, of the African Methodists.; -
Thomas Early, and others. Alter the most pressing
appeals from each_and all ofthese gentlemen; whose
sentiments generally were enthusiastically received)
and the Inspiring music of the band to kindle mar

give in their names. Eight of the new recruits left
for Camp Penn at noon to.day. ' The others are ex
pected to follow in a day or two. _ .

The colored men of this city are willing to enter
the service in the manner prescribed by law, •but
claim that under the militia call of Governor Oar

have the selection of their own company officers,
and in the absence of any law prohibiting - them
from commanding such organizations, they are un
willing to respond unless this privilege is ponceded.
Probably no town in the country has a finer.set of
young, intelligent, and Industrious colored men,
who can neither be bought nor blowed into the ser
vice, but who will rally in goodly numbers when
they can be commanded by the inspiration of the
black comrade. The request is natural and at no

In justice to the blacks it Maybe well to say that
their objections are in no way manifest against the

and manage to bear the tedium of military Suspense,
and the slow fever of financial uncertainty, with a
languid good nature net attainable under gloomy
skies. Under the dominance proton diem suns, balmy
noondays, and unsettled silver moons, it is hard to
!nuke well-dressed mankind take an immediately
glooiny view of any national vicissitude, and hence
the late 'rebel plc-nic to Washington via Baltimore
has already become a mere excuse for that species of
light and airy Metropolitan wit and humor which
must invariably follow even a temporary Interrup
tion of the rather oppressive (in warm weather)
telegraphic correspond.ince between the Capital
and our city. It is the unanimous, belief of all our
great authorities, including the tellable gentlemen,
the trustworthy citizen,' the• certain well-known
Senator, and the Intelligent contraband, that a dis
continuance of the prevailing military advices from
Washington for two weeks would have a happy
tendency to make the masses aware that war is not
an entirely metaphysical system of contradictory
occurrence, and to render the militaik leaders au
our profounder daily journals occasionally compre
hensible to persons in their right minds. Such a
consummation, however, Is not likely to happen,

TELE ASSOCIATED BANKS. -
I The banks and their asserted readiness' to . , accom
modate Secretary Fessenden with a loan of fifty
millions on the_security of gold-bearing bonds, or
7-30 greenbacks redeemable or fundable at maturi
ty, area rather heavy topic for present discussion;
but as the committee of the aforesaid banks ask the
Secretary to be as easy as he can with thcm in re
gard to thespecificitatils - af'whloh the "several in
stalments of the lCan may be required of them,
your correspondent recognizes the business a lan
guor of movement not incompatibfe with the state
of the
_thermometer. The new §ecretary of the
Treasury, I may say, has created a Wholesome im
pression in Wall street; his self-possessed bearing,
and quiet way of " stating the ease," giving ground
to the opinion that he is one of those effective di
plomatists who can accomplish much without giving
outward evidence of special effort. The banks pro
pose to pay for the bonds, or 7-303, in greenbacks,
and whenever this payment commences, it is tole
rably certain that temporarily at least, greenbacks
will be at a premium and gold will decline heavily.
This should constitute a good starting point for Mr.
Fessenden, if he designs to - attempt in any way a
restraint upon future gambling in specie; but, I
need hardly add, he would surely miss this point if
persuaded to issue afresh shower of greenbacks for
the so-called "relief of the money market."
THE LATE EAILH.OAD ACCIDENT
The late accident on the ever-fatal Erle road, by
which nearly one hundred rebel prisoners and Union
veterans have been sent to their last account,
evokes an Indignant article in the Tribune, and a
sentiment of outraged humanity generally. Ac
cording to one account, the collision of the two
trains "was owing to the culpable negligence :of
a dissipated telegraph operator at one of the sta.-
tions, who told the engineer of the coal train that
the road was clear to the next stopping-place.
Surely it is high time for the adoption of some ab
solute measure by which our more sanguinary rail
road companies may be compelled, at least, to lessen
their frightful annual "bills of mortality,"

The London journals are filled with the proceet
I Inge 01 Parliament on tire:groat party contest, to
I the exclusion of all other news.
The Times publishes forty-two columns of last
' night's proceedings. The result is generally re
garded as a satisuretory endorsement of the Minis
terialpolley, but not a triumph.
In the House of Commons, on the 7th, the debate
on Disraeli's motion of cerunire was resumed, and a
fierce party debate ensued.
Mr. Layard severely denounced Disraeli's ar
gument, and charged him with having garbled
Parliamentary papers.
Mr. Hardy indignantly replied, and said Mr. La-
yard's statement was calumnious. This word was
objected to. A member contendid it was permissible,
while Palmerston argued that Italia not, and a very
turbulent scene ensued, the whole Opposition side
defending the remark. Finally, after an apology
from Mr. Layard, the debate proceeded, and at its
close, blr. Hennessy, amidst great cheeringg, recalled
a case in which - Lord Palmerston himsel f the
term calumnious towards Mr. Layard, some years
ago, and the Speaker, on that occasion, ruled the
expression In order.
The debate was renewed on the Bth, amidst great
excitement, the principal speekers being Osoorn,
Walpole, Palmerston, and Disraeli. •
rdr.,ltlawdegate, at the solicitation of Lord.Pairn
erston,withdrew his amendment, and Kr. Kinglake
moved his, as already given. The result was for
Disraeli's motion 295 against it, 813. Overwhelm
ing cheers from the RUnieterial side greeted the an-
PElllCeineriti
On the seine evening, in the Bowe of Lords, Lord
Malmesbury moved a resolution similar to Mr.
Disraelre, and made e. speech denunciatory of the
foreign policy of the Government. He regretter/
that lefd Derby was unabhp to beKesent, owing to
illness. Speeches were also resole against the. Go
vernment by Marquis Clanricarde, Lord Chelais
ford, Earl Gray, and others, and in defence of , the
Government by Earl Russell, Lords Clarendon and
Wodehouse, the Duke of Argyle, and others. The
result of the division was 177 for Malmesbury's mo

The debates in Parliament resulted in a majority
of eighteen for the Government in the House of .
Commons, and nine against the Government in the
