Vitss. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1864 TO THE FRIENDS OF THE SOLDIER IN EVERY COENTY. trNME STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE F4DMS, IfiL 1105 Chestnut Street.—Our friends in every county and dis trict in Pennsylvania should immediately, without one • Say's delay, send to the State Coniniittee a correct copy of their whole ticket, giving plainly the time of each candidate for every office. AU this must be done to ena ble the tickets to be prepared to send tethe several regi :;yoente of the State. „coney Committees should also prepare and send --with the Commissions their Several county tickets, or ;Bend ,a special agent with the Cominissions to carry .them. Hints for the camlinign. 'We are rejoiced to see the renewed spirit of confidence and enthusiasm now perva , ding- the councils of the friends of the Union. The apathy whiCh alarmed us in the beginning is graduallY giving place to : , courage and energy. - Our friends know that they can win this campaign, and they .are determined to give the victory all the `glow and fervor of unprecedented and an nihilating success. We do not see that corresponding spirit of energy among our leaders. They prefer to hold back and lag, and forget that tyere is a, duty to their 'country eyou greater than they owe to themaeives. Of this, hoN‘Tver, n•e disdain to complain. The people have taken the canvass in their own hands, and those who have hitherto led us may remain. at home. There. are one or two things . that should be observed in the management of this ,canvass, and our readers -will thank us for calling them to their attention : I. Make your war an offensive war. Do :not waste time apologizing for the Admin istration, but take the high ground - that the Administration !. as the'guardiqn of the public safety in a time of unprecedented danger, has so managed the greatest war in modern - history that the rebellion has been almOst crushed, our position as a nation maintained r in the face of an envious and angry world, and our finances in such a condition of healthful activity that, not withstanding our vast debt 'and renewed taxes, labor and trade are prosperous and the people are happy. • IL Do all to strengthen and e - nlighten ^the soldier. Make him feel the love and sympathy of those at home, and teach him as far as possible the duty of sustaining the Goverament against the intrigues of an infamous party, and the aspirationl of an ambitions and reckless soldier. Ye'vet cerise to show the utter talsity 'and deceit of the Democratic party, as re presented by its platform of peace and its candidate of war. Dwell upon the in trigues that have been made to accomplish this swindle. The evidence on this point is Overwlichning. Dwell upon it, repeat it, circulate it, show it to neighbor and. friend, and the honest members of the party will be compelled to sear their con science, or repudiate the leaders with dis gust. IV. Be calm and earnest in the exercise of your personal rights, and do not permit the passions of the hour to cause extrava gance or passion. The majesty of our cause needs no such excitements, and we can well leave them to a desperate and -vindictive enemy. ' V. Above all things, organize. Let there be an immediate thorough orga nization, embracing every man, woman, and child. Let your organizations multi ply and • repeat themselves, until every friend of the Union shall find associa tion where sympathy and harmony pre vail. The young men should parade ; the old' men should counsel and advise ; the children should sing songs. We can give our righteous cause enthusiasm, and thus send comfort and energy through the wholo Union line. VI. Let the Union men of every county patronize the county newspaper. Strengthen the hands of the editor by new subscrip tions; frequent suggestions and communi cations, arid words of encouragement. Send him brief, crisp articles, and though they may not be printed fully, ideas will come to him to be reshaped and scattered every where. ' By counsel, co-operation, Confidence, an earnest love of country, and a zealous de terMination that no means shall be spared to swell the coming triuMiih, we shall achieve the greatest political- victory of our history. Let us remembei that at this time a political victory is of as much im portance as-a triiimphin the field, for if we fail at home all our efforts iii the field will be vain and worthless. It is not enough' that we elect ABRAHAM LINCOLN. We must elect him by the vote of every free State. We do not particularly care' for a triumph that gives us the mere possession Hof Office ; -we. must have a triumph that , unite us before the world, and show that we are one and inseparable in onr de termination to crushthe rebellion, and pre -vent the interference of foreign Powers. •;. Friends, 4ve can gain such a victory Shall we dO it ? • .Gefteral SheridamPs New Victory. • "Vent Tici " may be written as a commentary upon General SHERIDAN'S ..clunpsign: Whatever time he has taken toi•abservation; and however much he has manoeuvred to deceive his boastful-oppo nents; his whole eampaign has 'been .success, and his . successes 'most rapid rand decisive. , "'To-day we, record another great • victory, More remarkable, perhaps, in its , results; than the first. Gen. STratanax met the -enemy, whose right Tested on the north '.fork of the Shenan doah, extending across the Straaburg Val ley, and occupying a position which seemed slmost impregnable. The battle was fpught with great earnestness, and decided in a short time, Gen. CROOK driving the enemy at North Mountain, while the rest of the battle culminated at a point called Fisher's Hill. The results are the capture of sixteen guns, and many prisoners. But for the night, the military power of the enemy would have been completely de .stroy ed. The value of Gen. SHERIDAN'S new vic tory is not to be measured by prisoners, standards, and guns. It is. a signal vic tory over the cruel jailors of our suffering prisoners ; over the biutal spirit that tyran niies the better feelings of the 'South. It is a triumph over humiliation, failure, and cowardice, and a iletory•Uf 'the Supporteri of the Union over the real foes and the; false friends of the country. It is a' new endorsement of ABRAHAM Li:tip:am, thun dered in the Shenand6ah ValleY. " liesignation of Hon. Montgoniery . Biafr. .. Postmaster General Biwa has at length, in concurrence with a long-avowed dispo sition and brpermission of the President; resigned ; from his post in - the Cabinet of the 'united skates. The telegram leaves no doubt as to the cause of his resignation; and, while we appreciate the eminent prac tical services of. Mr. BLAIR, as the head of an ably-managed department, we cannot less value the honorable motives which have induced' hiM to withdraw from the :Governm'ent. His action, therefore, awa kens only praise, while it inspires no:dis satisfaction. Mr. BnAra has simply oeyed the wishes of the great , majo rity - of the friends of the Union, and by retiring from the administration of a pro gressive policy, which it was thought he did not• thoroughly endorse, has restored unity and equilibrium to the .councils of-its friends, and earnestness and harmony to the masses of his party. He will, never theless, give his influence and talents to the pending canvass with a zeal' worthy of his devotion to the cause and its representa tive. Mr. BLAIR will be succeeded, it is said, by es. Governor DENNISON, a staies man of enlarged. views, high moral sense, and admirable business capacity. , 'THE nomination of FREDERICK : M. ADAMS for Register of Wills commends itself to our fellow-citizens as one of pecu liar. propriety and deserving. Mr. ADAMS is an educated and intelligent gentleman, a careful and accomplished lawyer, and a citizen of well-known character and public spirit. His nomination is creditable to his party,...and his election will eleyatethe standard of public service, • The Parade To-Night. The friends of the Union propose to make a demonstration „this evening in honor of the recent victories at Atlanta and Wrachester. , ' If the weather is at all favorable, this parade will be one of the most magnificent ever seen in Philadel phia. The arrangements for making it such a success are complete and thorough, and the disposition of all good loyal men is so enthusiastic and earnest that there will be a display which, in character and re spectability, will be unlike anything we have ever known before in our political re collection. The,people are _in truth mana ging this campaign, and; there is a majesty in their movements that mere leaders and politicians cannot afford to show. WASIIING'rON.

ARRIVAL OF REBEL FLAGS CAPTURED IN SIIERIDAN'S. VICTORY, To-day, Captain 'Er.r.re, the Acting Inspector General of General TORBERT'S division of cavalry, reached here from the front, in the valley, bringing eight rebel battle and regimental flags, captured by that division in the engagement of Monday last. He proceeded immediately to the 'War Department, where they were formally presented, In the name of General SIIRIIIDAIV. Six of the men bearing them were the actual cap• tore of the flags they carried, their names being GEORG& RRYIiOLDS, CO. 1", 6th New York Cavalry; PATRICK MCARMORE, 6th New York Cavalry Color Corporal Onzsran B. BOWEN, CO. I, New York. Dragoons; GRORON E. IllsActr, 56th ?Paw York Cavalry; BERRY M. Fox, Co. DI, sth Mehl gan Cavalry; ANDREW J. Leman, regimental :commissary sergeant Ist New York Cavalry. The flags identified, were thOse of the 36th Vir ginia• Volunteers, 2d Virginia Infantry, and 46th Virginia Regiment. Another was a Confederate national flag, made last week in Winchester, and presented on Sunday, the day before the battle, to the regiment from which it was captured. The Adjutant General will take charge of the flags, and will, by direction, furnish the captors with medals with their names insoribeApon them. ARRIVAL OP GENERAL UPTON AND STAFF. Brigadier General Urrozr and staff arrived in this city yesterday, and took rooms at the.Ebbitt House. The wound' of the General was received from a shell, which struck him on the thigh, and we are happy to learn that his speedy recovery is ex pected. The party brought with them eight rebel battle flags, captured on the 19th of September, in Sheridan's late victory, and which' elicited mu& at tention. THE WASIETEGTON REPUBLICAN'S PEACE STORY. The following article, entitled kt. Terms of Peace Proposed by Jeff Davis, ,, appeared in the REputk Ham yesterday afternoon "There was a slight fluttering among the ' , bulls , ' and " bears" in Wall street, yesterday, growing oat Of a rumor that Jeff Davis had actually made a proposition of peace over his own signature. The report could not be traced to any reliable source. "It gives us pleasure to be able to state today that there wore good grounds for the report. We learn, from a source so reliable that we believe the statement, that Dir. Jacob Thompson, ex-Secretary of the Interior, now residing at Niagara Falls, re ceived a few days since a proposition froin Jefferson Davis, to be submitted to our Government, for a peaceable settlement of the present difficulties. • "Ile propcses that the rebel armies shall lay down 'their arms, return to their allegiance to the United States, and that the Union of the Skates shall be preserved is formerly. Slaves that have been made free during the rebellion to remain so, but slaves now in slavery in the robellious States to re. main such. We do not learn that he makes any Proposition about disposing of the enormous debt contracted by the South.. This letter of Davis was handed, on Monday last, to a responsible and wealthy menu. lecturer, a Democrat, of New York State, who left Niagara that day en route for this city. If he has arrived here he has not yet communi cated -with the Government. That such a letter exists; and is in the liana of a party authorized to present it to the Government of the United States, we have not the slightest doubt.. "What is most significant about such a proposition is the acknowledgment it carries with it that the re hellion is about crushed out, and that the rebels can resist no longer. "it would be discourteous, not to say unwise, in us to attempt to discuss the merits of this proposition, or to even surmise what course the Government Will pursue on the subject. ,, - • • REDEL DESERTERS. A large number of rebel deserters came up from City Point yesterday, on the mail boat. They are said to have represented almost every State in rebeldom.

Special Despatch to The Press. ] WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., September 23 There was a glorious Union meeting here last evening. The Court House was crowded. Judge Armstrong presided. Charles H. Shriner, Union candidate for Senator, spoke for two hours, and was greeted with most enthusiastic applause. He made one of the most convincing speeches ever delivered here. The meeting was one of the most entinislastic ever held in Williamsport. Several other speakers followed, and the meeting adjourned with cheers for Shriner and the Union Immense Union Meeting in Trenton. TRENTON, N.

ORBAT UNION GATHRRING AT NORRISTOWN. Nortituvroww, Sept 23.—The nominations of Lin; coin, Johnson, and Bullock were ratified at Norris town last night by three thousand freemen of Mont somery county. Eloquent speeches wore made by Wm. M. Bull, Esq., G. I. Riche, Esq., Lieutenant Lemuel E. Reeves, and Rev. Mr. Dennison. Ix commenting upon the speech of Colonel Mc - Ribbin yesterday, an error occurred which gives inconsistency to tie argument. We were wrong as to the position assigned to Mr. Wade and Mr. Dei 13. We intended to say that the 14 enabling act" which Colonel Mcßibbin discussed was "practically to reduce the Southern States to Territories," and in- tended to show that in his eagerness to assail Mr. Lincoln the speaker was willing to:accept the most ultra teachings of the radical Republican party. A CoßizeTion.—ln our report of the speech of Hon. William. D. Kelley, in ;yesterday's paper, the .tranapoeitton of a line caused a complete inversion of the sense of one of the sentences. We merely mention this, fact, but suppose that none of our readers could have thought that Judge Kelley meant what the types reported him to have said. • Funkiest 'Baum; G COSTIIME.—The Frenchladies' bathing dresses this year are described as a sort of man's coat, petticoats only descending very little below the place at which garters aro supposed to be attached, aid consequently canoeing a great part of their legs. „,Those legs adorned with Hessian boots, mounting to more than half the calf, the said boots laced in front, bearing tassels at the top, and having very high round the waist a great black or blue strap, h p,ruls ;round with a buckle as big as a sau cer ; the garments of the most violent colors.

M Lieut. Gen. Grant, Commanding Armiq of the United, States, City Point I have the honor to report that I have achieved a most s'gnal victory over thesarmy of 0-en. Early, at Fisher's Hill, to-day. I found the rebel army posted with Its right rest ing on the north fork of the Shenandoah, and ex tending across the Strasburg valley westward to North Mountain, occupying a position which ap peared almost impregnable. After a good deal of marueuvring during the day, Gen. Crook's command was transferred to the ex treme right of the line, on the North Mountain, and he furiously attacked the left of tile enemy's line, carrying everything before him, and while Crook was driving the enemy in the greatest confusion, and sweeping and driving them behind their breast ivorks, the eth and 19th Army Corps attacked the rebel works in front, and the whole rebel army am peared to be broken up. • They fled in the utmost confusion. Sixteen pieces of R 7 tillery were captured ; also, a great many cais sons, artillery horses, etc., etc. • am tonight pushing on down the valley. I cannot Fay how many prisoners I have captured, nor do I know either my own or the enemy's casu alties. Only the darkness saved the whole of Ear ly's army from total destruction. My attack ,could not be made until four o'clock in the evening, which left but little daylight to operate in. The let and 8d Cavalry Divisions went - down the Luray Valleyto;dawand if they pleb on vigorous ly to the main valley the result of the day's _ engage. Mentwill be still more signal.

BALTIMORE, • Sept. 22.—Medical and surgical skill is sadly needed at Winchester. I have been .requested to make known the want. There are five thousand wearied, suffering mon in that little town in want of immediate attention. Obristian Coin mission delegates are hastening there, but not in sufficient strength for immediate purposes. The accounts that reach us from the valley indi cate that our victory has been greaterAn results than even first thought or dreamed of. It was an old-fashioned cavalry light, and the sequel was at tributable to the superior metal of our army. Early had at least eighteen thousand infantry, supported by approved guns, and handled by expe rienced gunners. The victory and rout surprises militarymen, as we have no precedent for it in the history of this war. They do not tire on reviewing it, and speak in laudatory terms of the military acu men that directed a fight at once so novel and yet so successful. This Is the second triumph that has been distinct ly a cavalry triumph, when our troops have been engaged in a general contest. The cavalry service, through its officers, feel highly honored by this con test, and the army and the public will cheerfully vote them their duo meed of thanks and acknovi" lodgment. ti Winche - ster is one vast hospital.

THE ARMY BLEOTRIFIED BY TUE 'NEWS FROM SHE RIDA2T-TORITIO4 OF THE TWO ARMIES. • WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—The Chronicle oontains the following despatch, dated before Petersburg, Sept. 20, 10 P. RE. We have all been again pleotrified. Scarcely was time allowed our throats to recover from the hoarse ness caused by shouts of joy for Shorman's triumphs, when we set to cheering for Sheridan's victory. No one expected news half so glorious from the Shenan doah Valley. Mobile, was looked upon to furnish the next chance for exultation; after that our turn was thought to follow. Ever since " Stonewall" Jackson, with his command, made their raging and devouring campaign through• that shadowy She.; nandoah vale, we despaired of accomplishing any brilliant achievements for our arms in the neighbor hood. . Ewell proved himself the scourge of the major general he found in command at Winchester, and all good Confederates laughed themselves sore' over the ludicrous accounts written by certain face tious Richmond editors, about the indecent flight of "Milroy's" flatfooted Dutchmen and codfish-eating Yankees." Hunter and Sigel gained nothing In reputation, when Early, instead of Ewell, came into this same valley. In good Booth, we had given up all hope of ever being able to gain any permanent advantage here. Defeat was looked upon as certain, and to be outflanked was ooelly_considered the manifest destiny of every commander who advanced into this country. There is no . positiOn, it was said, which could.be held in,safety.. The surround ing hills were cut up by defiles, Made •there by nature on purpose for such " patriot hero,es ,, as "Stonewall" Jackson, Early, and Dick Ewell. I used to read with the utmost complacency of our troops falling back from Winchester, abandoning Martinsburg, and finally quitting this unfortunate valley, where luck was continually against us. Every other reader of the daily journals was no doubt satisfied that we could occupy, till the rebels came, when we must inevitably be driven hence, whenever the enemy made the attempt. Judge what a pleasant surprise was in store for us. A substantial success, a glorious victory, has at last been' vouchsafed to our cause in.the Shenan doah Valley. Among all commanders Who . have known the vicissitudes of a campaign in that de partment, the last shall now bo first.. Alas I for brave Russell. He has many friends in this army who havefonght at his side till they loved him as brothers, and now they sincerely lament his death. The writer of this heard Gen. Sedgwick , speak of Rusioll,al3 he led his division against the rebel forts at Rappahannock Station, when three guns and a brigade of rebels were captured, "There goes my pet division, and the bravest officer in the corps." The despatch setting forth the magnitude or the success was read aloud to each regiment, beginning on the right of the line. Cheer after cheer inter. rupted the .reading, and as each rebel general who bad been killed or injured was mentioned, some one cried "bully"—from the distinguished Rhodes even -unto tte almost unknown Ramseur. About. dark the buzzes were sounding through the 6th Corps. The colored troops were engaged in a noisy revival, but were soon aroused from their prayers. "Fer rero's Black Braves' , shouted and sing themselves to sleep. • All these tidings of victory have tb4jr otreot, The THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA; SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, -1864.

' WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—A copy of the Richmond Examiner 'of Wednesday was received here today. If siys: "There was no news of interest from any quarter yesterday. Lincoln's campaign, which was posi tively to have crushed the Confederacy, hangs fire at the season of the year most favorable to active military operations. We may, however, with cer tainty expect his armies to be again put in motion before the next snow." The Examiner says : " There was a rumor current last night that Major General Robert Rhodes had been killed in the Valley, and his body had reached Staunton. We did not learn whether he was killed in battle or skirmish, nor any particulars what ever." [NoTE.—From the above it would appear that the accounts of Sheridan's victories had not at that time reached Richmond.] The E.raminer publishes the following account, which, it says, is authentic, of the • ' , Yankee raid" into the county of Orange on Monday: .. . • "The raiding party was about live hundred strong, and the same with whom Moseby has been recently fighting in the vicinity of Leesburg and Alexan dria. They came down through: Culpeper, and on Monday morning arrived at- the , Orange and-Alex andria Railroad - bridge, over the Rapt& Ann, which they attempted to destroy, but the timbers being green, and the structure but a mere trestle work, their success was not commensurate with thlir ef forts: "The injury to the bridge is trifling, it being only singed. The raiders then crossed the Rapid Ann into Orange, and burnt Holliday , s mill, near Rapid Ann station, containing a large quantity of wheat belonging to the Orange and Alexandria Railroad Company. They then started for Orange. Court House, but had only proceeded about two miles when they were ambuscaded by some of our infan try, who : captured forty, killed fifteen, and 'drove the rest helter-skelter over the Rapid Ann, and into Culpeper. In the flight the frightened raiders turned loose a number. of our , horses and mules, which they had picked up at pasture in Culpeper. Tbis. is the last of the raid.' The raiders are now . making tracks for Alexandria. The only real da mage done by them was the burning of Holliday's mill and the wheat it contained. "The .flag-of-truce steamer New York, Major Mulford, arrived off Varina yesterday with , one thousand sick and wounded Confederate prisoners on board. Among the officers, of which there wore a number aboard, was General Walker. "In the City Councils Mr. Scott offered a resolu tion to authorize the Mayor to offer a reward of $l,OOO for the detection of the incendiaries engaged in kindling the-fires now of nightly occurrencein Richmond, and suggesting the co.operaticin with the police of the, members of the fire brigade as patrolmen. "Mr. Glazebrook wanted the reward increased to $5,000. Tho subject was referred to the Committee on Police. "A. letter from Camden county, N. 0., , says : "The Yankees have just made a raid out here, committing. the most fiendish acts of cruelty upon the people. " They were not satisfied with subsisting upon the people, carrying off horses, Sic., but they. bUrned some fit teen or twenty houses,turnin g the defeneeleas families out of doors, with a total luss•of furniture, The:Examiner complains "that there are Citizens of Winchester and of the neighborhood , nailing themselves Confederates who do refuse to supply Early's commissaries and quartermasters with food for man or horse, except on the terms of being paid in Mr. Fessenden , s green-paper, and who,utterly refuse to sell the Soldiers an egg or. an ap ple for any quantity of the paper which 'serves us for money In this country," and the 'Exa miner is "sorry to learn that there are planters and merchants in Winchester and Its vicinity who, do absolutely refuse to trade with our country's cur rency, and who demand to be paid for everything in that of the enemy's currency. It concludes by say ing : "The polioy of being gentle and indulgent to open traitors, and of encouraging them to violate the laws, .18 perhaps 'a little characteristic, of our Government, which is stern and austere enough with honest citizens, who are straining every nerve, and risking everything they have in the world, together with their lives and their chit dratt's lives, to uphold the said Government; but It Is a policy which will scarcely recommend Itself to straightforward Confederates, reports from all over Texas of the corn and grain crops are exceedingly favorable •' very heavy crops have been made, heavier indeed than ever before know n. The Houston Telegraph says the wealth of corn produced this year in Texas is something wonderful. From all accounts the most overwhelming crops have been produced, enough to supply the State two years. The cotton crop is much Injured by the army worm. The Telegraphic reports of 3. S. Thrasher, for some time published under the name of " Associated Press," finally became so devoid of value that the Daily papers of Richmond . have been compelled to form a real association to procure authentic news. The reports of the Richmond Associated Press are now furnished to all the Daily papers of Richmond except the Richmond Whig. • Wilma, Sept. 19.—A Yankee force from Perim:. cola are reported to be making a raid on Pollard. The following extracts are made from Georgia and South Carolina papers, from files up to Sept. 17 : The Macon Confederate says: "It is currently ru mored on the streets that General Beauregard is to take command of the Army of Tennessee. The Macon Telegraph remarks: "If the reader, will consult the map, he will come to a realizing sense of the ease with which Sherman can repeat from Atlanta the combined movements by which he backed Johnston down from Dalton to the heights of Alatoona." It shows how Sherman can move by. different roads, flank Barnesville, and thence south- west they would flank Macon with the same ease. 'Bence there is an overwhelming necessity for suoh reinforcements as shall prevent a repetition of the Sherman strategy from Dalton to the .Etowah, river. • • The Charleston Merthiry ' of-the 19th instant says: "We bare little to report to-day. The enemy's heyobaraheut of thg city yesterday wail %alto brisk, about forty shells in all having been .thrown. An 'old regro'woman killed was the only victim. There .was .the usual en/ ange of shots during the day amongst the hostile batteries in ,the ,harbor, but nothing worthy . of special note. There will be, we understand, another communication with the enemy by flag of truce on Monday nexf.” The Savannah Republican says : "If Sherman Is to be allowed to hold peaceable possession of Atlan• to until he has time to fortify the place and make it impregnable, then the eitizens of Georgia may look out for large and formidable raiding parties from that place making extensive incursions throughout the State.

Boman Bemislnes ERMAREABLE DISCOVERY. IN ENGLAND The following interesting description of Roman remains just discovered in England appears in the Liverpool Alercury: "BRIDGE WORKS, RUNCORN, August 29, 1861. • `!GENTLEMAN : As agent for Messrs. Cochrane, Grover & Co., the contractors for the ironwork of the bridge orossing the Mersey at this point, I beg to hand you an account of a remarkable discovery which has been made during the erection of a dam for the first river-pier thereof, and trust yon will find space in your columns, as, from its'exceptional— in fact, almost unprecedented—nature It will cer tainly be of the highest antiquarian interest, and may possibly be still more valuable as giving histori cal information respecting a period of which little is known, viz.: that immediately succeeding the first arrival of the Saxons in Britain. "The discovery was made in the following man ner: On the 27th inst., while sinking one of mucais sons, an obstacle was met with which defied the . pressure exercised by our sinking apparatus. Di vers were sent down, who, on removing a quantity of sand from about the base of the caisson, reported the obstacle to be a large log of wood; By help of a:strong eable,.and after removing the pressure • from the caisson, we were enabled' to draw it up to the staging, azuffound It to be note log of wood, as the divers, misled by its general attrlded state, had reported, but a large coffin-shaped box of great stiength, measuring about eight feet by three feet. ,The •wood had become impregnated with oxide of iron; from the red sandstone, which ..had made it as. hard as iron -itself,. so that it was with the greatestrdiffieulty that we were enabled to prise open the lid. The inside, which was roughly hewn to the shape . of a human body, but with a'large additional apace at the heid, lvaerlined•witliii grayish bituminous substance, and 'contained the body of a man In a most wonderful state of preservation. It Is attired in the dress.of a wealthy Roman citizen, the tunic and toga both . white, embroidered with purple and gold tareads, the toga fastened with a handsome golden fibula. • The straps of the buskins are studded .with little golden bosses.- Attached to the girdle are a Os blet and a golden-hilted stylus. The tout ensemble, in fact. while not glaring,. Is rich and tasteful. "The body; though in civil dress appears to be that of a legionary officer, as a large military cloak is swathed round it, and by its Bide are a short sword (the famous Roman , gladium , ), with its belt, a javelin, and a vinea, such as centurions used to preserve discipline among their men. A tine:onyx signet ring, bearing the letters S.. P. Q. R., and the figure of a wolf, is on the finger. This I conjecture to be a symbol of authority delegated by the Roman Senate, or the then reigning emperor to the bearer. The sword and belt also bear the initials S. Y. Q. R. The head of the vinea Is shaped into a rude resem blance to a Roman eagle. "The body has been embalmed in so skilful a manner as to preserve, even after this lapse of time, the features tolerably distinct; but it Is ex cessively fragile, crumbling at a touch; in fact, It has only been preserved from total destruction by the mantle, and by a quantity of a cryptogamic plant allied to the common equisetum, which is packed round it,,keeping it steady and immovable in the coffin. • ' 4 I forbear giving a more detailed account, and will proceed to mention briefly the contents of the space above the head of the corpse. A quantity of the equisetum-like herb sustains uninjured an am phora of coarse earthenware, with a yellow vitreous glaze. 2'he handles and neck are broken off,' and inside itls placed—also with packing—a beautifully executed cinerary urn of red Samian ware, contain ing ashes, and a small roll of vellum, covered with characters,. which I am unable to decipher, but I believe to be Saxon. Sprinkled through the scroll, I, however, find the Roman name 'SQ. Sulpiclus, Piso,' the initials 'S. P. Q; R.,' the words 'legatos' • %crematio,' 'manes,' ' lazes,' and a few others. This scroll I, therefore, imagine to hold the key of the enigma presented by the many anomalous appear ances I have described and am about to describe. ORNAILENTB AND COINS. "In the amphora, beneath the urn, are a num ber of ornaments of , gold and silver, such as were worn by Saxon females of rank; among them is 'a kind of rude locket containing a long tress of glossy yellow hair. The ornaments appear to be a set, as ff they had belonged to one person ; and this fact, coupled with the presence of the hair, leads me to suppose the ashes contained in the urn to be those of the owner both of them and the hair. The amphora also contains a small packet of coins, nearly 100 in number, of which 43 are gold, and of the reigns of the Roman emperors, lionoritis, dating A. D; 410, a few of Hadrian, Antonius, and Severna, with earlier dates. The remaining • coins are silver, probably Saxon, but owing to their. mutilated and defaced condition, I am unable to say positively. On one only is a date visible, viz., 405. • SURMISES. . "From these.dates,,as well as from the Saxon or naments, I am inclined to reforthe remains to about the date of the first arrival of the Saxons in Britain. The corpse may be that of one of the last emissaries of Rome to this island ; or, as history speaks of no political intercourse between Rome and our island at that period, he may have bean connected with a; religions, not a civil, mission. The ashes I surmise to be those of a Saxon female. But how Shall we. account for the presence of the remains of a Roman and a Saxon in a common tomb I More strange still Is the embalming of the Roman and the cremation of the Saxon. The position . of the'coliln in the bed of the'river Is also strange, but an overturned boat and-the shilling sands may account for this. Possi bly the scroll found in the urn may give an eiplana tton of this, and till this has been deciphered we must be content to remain in the dark. • . "I have been instructed, in case no claim is made for the remains as 'treasure trove,'. to send the whole in their present condition to the British Mu seuin about the' beginning of next week. Should, however, any gentlemen think it worth their while to call at the above address before that time, I shall be most happy to give them an opportunity of ex amining the remains before they leave this part of the country. • "Yours, Sic., J..P:'AssTox.l, THE House OF PROOULUB AT POWELL—Pro claim was ip all probability a rich, certainly an In fluential, citizen. His name occurs in connection with election matters in more than one place. On the right of the entrance to his house is the inscrip tion Popidiurn elege, Proculna rogat, which may. be freely translated by the inscription on a wall oppo- site to the , room In which lam now writing: "Oox for Finsbury.” Not far distant a partisan of one Sabinus had scrawled "Sabinum ccdilem, Procuic, fec, et fife fe faciet, an equally, free translation of which would , be, "O Jones! support Robinson as alderman for Bishopsgate Without, and he will propose thee for Bishopeg - ate Within." His house was undergoing repairs when the catastrophe oc curred ; the painters' pots and the workmen's tools were left scattered about, and part of the pavement had been taken up. A number of cooking utensils were heaped up in one corner, showing that the operations -of the workmen prevented them from being put in their proper place Others, contain ing various articles of food, wore simmering on the little stoves. On a bronze dish, in readiness to be put in the oven, was a sucking pig, the oven itself teing for the present engaged in baking bread more than seventy loaves in all, the greater part of them weighing about two pounds, have been taken out of one oven.

A FREE NEGRO SIXTEEN YEARS IN SLAVERY.- The, Cincinnati Commercial relates that a colored man has been found in Vicksburg who was born and brought up in Cincinnati, where he learned the carpenter's trade, but sixteen or eighteen years ago was kidnapped and ;sold into slavery. The man's name IS Fleming Davis, and he Is the son of Benja min Davis, who formerly kept a store in Cincinnati. It appears that eighteen er twenty years ago•he and a brother named (loving Davis, they being then young men, went over-it to Covington, Ken tucky, one Sunday, to attend a Baptist meeting about three miles back of the town. In the eve ning, after the services, the two went home with some colored girls about five miles down the Ohio, and while there were kidnapped and taken to New Liberty, and there sold to a negro trader. who took them to Vicksburg. They were ironed and whipped for insisting that they were freemen. At Vicksburg they were sold, and bought by a man named N. Batcheller, now a captain in the rebel army. The two brothers continued in the service of Batcheller till after the rebellion broke .out. Batoheller soon discovered that Fleming was a good carpenter, and also that he was a freeman, but threatened htm with punishment If he talked to people about being a freeman or endeavored to escape. Re then hired him out as a carpenter, realizing from $75 to 3100 per month for his labor. When Vicksburg was ta ken Fleming and his brother obtained their free. dom. Fleming is following his trade at Memphis, and his brother is In the Union army. A REMARKABLE, ENOAPE.—A remarkable escape occurred on Lake Michigan the other day. The propeller Ontonagon, on her downward passage, while off Beaver Island, broke her shaft, and the huge mass of iron came crashing down through the timbers, and stove a large hole through the bot tom, through which the water rushed with fear ful rapidity. The captain announced to the pas sengers, of whom there were about one hundred and fifty on board, - - that the boat would go down in ton minutes. A terrible scene of confusion and despair ensued. A boat was launch ed, it immediately filled and sunk, being worthless, as too many boats are found to be on such occa sions. Another was lowered—the only remaining one—and the women and children put on board, with three men to row and steer it. ) Those remain ing on the propeller, having no nibans of esoape, quietly awaited coming events, looking around for whatever might buoy them up in the water. The vessel had been headed for the island, and when within about five miles began to surge and sink. She went down to her main deck, when, unexpect edly to all, she struck upon a bar of whose existence o one knew, and there she lay until help came and all the passengers were rescued. AN ENGLISHMAN' BROM TR& SONTYL—An En • glish gentleman, who has just returned from an ex tended business tour through the South, communi cates some of his observations to the Proxidence Press. Among other things he sayS : "I was informed that there were twenty thou- Sand Southern agents in New York; whose business it was to circulate in..the bar-rooms and public places of the various cities in the North, and be everything to every man'—among Republicans, to be a despondent Republican, showing up the weak points of the party, and growing gloomily despot'. dent over the thought of the heaped-up mountain of taxes—among Democrats, a Democrat, glowing all over with brilliant periods about the fallacy of the war with their Southern brethren, and the beauty of the coming ,peace that shaft proclaim olives of endless age ! "And by this method of diplomacy they were to incite civil war between the contending political parties of the North, and when this was au fad accompli, they would step, in as arbitrators, and then the North would have a race of statesmen and genllemen to rule them. I have often thought that In the North you could tear passion Into tatters, In the boasting line, but as a people, your Southern brethren can leave you far behind." Of politics and currency, he says : "Their expectations ran high on the hope of Sep mOur , s nomination at Chicago, and in the event of his defeat they consoled .themselves with the hope that, at any rate, Fillmore or McClellan would be the next most available man ,for their purposes. They are unanimous in their dislike in 1.41110 1 0 n ., and fear his re-election . ; in their 'elegad language , the old chimpanzee'weiring out their patience. "I stopped at the Spottswood House, where, after breakfas the landlord gave me my last frothy dose of 'scyug 8, , ending with the remark that we have the North just where we want them now—under our thumb!' .Calling for my bill, I asked him what kind of money, he preferred, 'Any kind but scrip. I will allow you premium on gold or greenbacks.' " Having paid him in greenbacks, I remarked that it-was singular tbat, after having beaten the North in every battle, and having that country just where he wanted it. he wield persist in taking Yankee money at a premium." A BOY. CARRIED TO SEA BY A OUTTLE-VISR.—. A late letter from Cuba contains an account of the carrying off of a boy, eight years old, by a cuttic•fish, which is about as horrid an affair as we hare rend of for some time.

A RELIC,--A communication to the Boston Jour nal states that the. Bible of Gov. Bradford, printed in German text, 1592, containing his name and those of generations of his descendants, and long sought in vain by antiquarians, is now in the possession of Mr. = Joseph Belcher Waters, of Sharon, Mass., of which he is the careful, vigilant, and - tenacious custodian, as were his father and grandmother, Alice (Bradford) Waters, before him. Mr. Waters, was born June 22, 1804, the son' of Zebulon Waters, Jr., of Stoughton, by his second wife, Lucy Belcher, who was born' August '23, 1768, the son of Zebulon Waters, senior, of Stoughton, by his wife, Alice . Bradford (born Nov. 3, 1784; pub. lished to him March 14, 1757), the daughter of Elisha Bradford, of Kingston, by his second wife, Bathsheba La Brocke, who was the son of Joseph. Bradford of Kingston, born 1639, the youngest son of the Governor. Through thesesix generations the Bible has descended, with a loss of only a few of the last leaves ; but the boards of the cover are gone, the margins worn down nearly to the text, and the leather of the back rolled up, drawing the forward and latter leaves backward, and rendering the volume when closed cuneiform. TREASURE Tnova.—A quantity of silver coins have been lately discovered in Scotland, of which out of 1,000 examined, 964 were of Henry 111. , 19 of John, and•l7 of *a rude and-then,unknown type. It has since been ascertained that these last are silver pennies of William I. of Scotland, known in history as William the Lion. The Government, of.cotirse, gobbled up the treasure, leaving the poor - finder only the vague promise implied in this autocratic note: Tug asuav, 17th August, INC "Treasiire Trove, Eccles: "Sin : Your letter of the 12th August, instant, on the above subject, has been - referred to me by the lords of her Majesty's treasury. I apprehend that, under .the circumstances stated, the coins found are unquestionably treasure trove,' and as such the property of her Majesty, by virtue of the royal pre rogative. There is no act of Parliament under which the crown's title is derived. Her Majesty Is entitled under the .common law - of England. lam authorized by the lords of her Majesty's treasury to request that you will transmit to me the treasure by some sate conveyance. Your application on be half of the finder will be considered when my lords shall have determined -as to the disposal of the coins. I am, sir, your obedient servant, REYNOLDS, "Solicitor her Hajesty's Treasury?' A rdanitrAo3 UNDER Drieriounme.s.—The other day a young gentlemitia from England arrived in the neighborhood of Airdrie, where he had a sweetheart whom be had been wooing for some time. He had received a sudden can to proceed abroad, but pre vious to his departure he was desirous of converting hiS inamorata into a wife and taking her along with him. The lady was nothing loth, but there was no time to spare for the proclamation of the banns—a necessary preliminary to procuring the services of a minister to tie the knot. At.length the parties, ad vised by one of the burgh lawyers, declared them selves man and wife in the Royal Hotel. This, it seems, being an irregular marriage, is an offence in the eye of the law, and the couple now united were brought up before Bailie Thomson, and, pleading guilty to what they bad no wish to deny, were amerced in the not very serious penalty of one merk Scots, about ls. id. sterling, besides having the fact of their marriageunmistakable by its being placed on record in the court books.—Glasgow paper. A. MODEL FINANCIER.-The following curious passage is taken from a recent letter to the Lon don Daily News, from its correspondent in Berlin : '"Every one asks how Bismark has met the ex penses of the Schleswig war. There are no traces of a loan, zone of the signs of which could be oon cealed had the minister had recourse to large cre dit. Not only Chase and. Fessenden, but. Fould himtielf, might take a lesson from Bismark, who has made no noise,made no appeal to Bourse or Chain. her, and yet has collected and marched large armies to a great military and political result.ii A LOADED BALE OE COTTON.—On litionday last, while a bale of cotton was being opened on the Suf. folk Corporation, the men discovered a heavy iron shell, somewhat - conical in form, imbedded In the centre of the bale. Appearances indicate that it is a regular percussion explosive shell, or else an in fernal machine of some other character, placed in the bale purposely to do the work of death. It Is about fifteen pounds in weight, and near, among the .cotton,•were found two Iron bands weighing, perhaps, 'fifteen pounds additional. Its discovery has caused a desire on the part of many to be In formed as. to the nature of its internal construction, but as we learned, no one has yet been found im pelled by sufficient feelings of curiosity to enter into a very critical examination of it at present for fear of injury. At all events, the bale of cotton is quite an expensive one to the company, taking into account the sum of $1.50 per pound paid for the metal found in its centre.—Lowell News. Ax INosinors ROBBER —A lady and gentleman in Liverpool, England, were disturbed in" their slumbers reeently by the noise of. a slight move under the "bed. The lady expressed alarm, but her somewhat sleepy taro spout said : " Oh, it is only one of the dogs, - " and putting his hand down by the bed he called, " Lion, Lion, " and his hand being licked, after a moment tho pair were satisfied, and they soon slumbered again peacefully. In the morning they found that: all their money and jewelry had disappeared, and it was clear that the lick had been a dernier resort of an ingenious biped concealed under the bed.

I am not such a child as to think that a party will be bound. by its platform.

McClellan "Why, if a man said I will die bbibre I raise the white flag of Barren, der, and you rise end hand him one to nail up to the masthead, you either don't believe him, or you mean to insult him. He paused long. It wan said when he was a general he ebmetimes pawed. (Great, ap plause.] I have, lid opinion as lAA said, on that point, but I say. he paused upon being asked to adopt the Ohba:alp platform... Why, some of the ablest journals vaged Gen. McClellan to npndtate• the platform. The New 'York Herald—l don't know much, about it. I have been reading it for some time. and if anybody can tell whether that paper pi fr,r McClellan or egtirgit Wea l 110 l smarter than - I am. • General McClellan, when that plat fprm *as Wen 'to hlin, _was unfortunately sur rounded by politiotana—l probably should say electioneers—and what was the result One of the most pitiable' lettere that ever proceeded from a public man. If, at the battle of Antietam, General McClellan had , been asked whether they should raise the flag of surrender in the front rank, or go on into battle, I suppose he would have had to say yes or no. The same thing was derrianded of him when the Chicago platform waspresented to him •he should have said yes or no. [The speaker was here interrupted by the arrival of the Republi can Invinciblea. They appeared in their new uniform capes, and caps of steel-colored oil cloth.] I learn that this club has done great ser vice in the political campaign four years ago, and I learn that they have done good service on the field 'of battle. [Applause.] They are the men who fight both ways. [Applause.] I believe every man agrees that when that platform says hostilities shall cease, that it means to recognize the Southern Confederacy. I was saying that that letter was an equivocating letter, and this is not the time for equivocation. It touches the national life. NoOlellan proposes himself to the vote of every American citizen and even the humblest of them is entitled to know whether McClellan is in favor of a cessation of hostilities. There is not a man in America, who, putting the letters and plat form together, can tell whether he is or not. I don't say whether McClellan failed' in military matters cr not, but I can say that every man In Ame rica is entitled to know whether McClellan is in favor of a cessation of hostilities or not. I ask,• prentlemen, do you mean to say that we shall stop hostilities?. I have read his letter, and it is enough for MO to Eathe is not the man for me. I say, in McClellan's own words, Heaven forbid! Give us truer, braver hearts than that. There was a little matter left out of the Chicago platform. It says nothing about the. Monroe'doctrine. Wo did. Why didn't they say Something about that ? I think, there was a little bit• of history prevented that. Lord Lyons wrote to his own Government informing them of everything that happened to us, andnnfortunately ono of those letters got published, and the drift wail that some leading Democratsin New York had consulted with him to know what would be neces sary 'to secure foreign intervention of European Powers to end the war. And when these very men beard that McClellan was put out they were incon solable. I don't pretend to understand these things, but together they present a feature that I don't like. Therefore the reason they didn't say anything about the Monroe doctrine was on account of this little bit of history making them feel ashamed of themselves. There is anoti er thing I want to speak about, and that is the Hartford Convention. I have no doubt that some injustice was done in that Convention. They sent to the President to know what could be done to secure a peace ; but so anxious were the people to prevent anything like intervention that every man who had anything to do with it has died .a political death. Suppose England had secured eleven States and had been able to secure popular elections in her favor in those States, and then 'Claimed them as hers, and while we had every ' port blockaded and were driving England back, what would have been said if that Convention had met , and denounced the' Government for everything it had done; and had not uttered one word of denunci ation against those renegade American citizens who had voted for English authority? Why, if these men at Hartford have cited a political death, these men of Chicago to-day ought to die a most shameful politi • cal death. [Applause.] They come for ward and say call, back Grant lest he take Richmond; call back Farragut lest he take Mobile; call bick Sher man lest he take Atlanta. [Applause.] Instead of a telegraph from Stanton announcing our victories, we would have had a letter from Fernando. Wood, telling Farragut to withdraw his whole fleet from the sacred waters of Mobile, or an order to Gen. Grant from Gen.MoClellan,tosurrender all of Virginia that he had taken, and to withdraw his forces from Pe tersburg a little fatter than he did ; an order would go back from Fernando Wood, Secretary of the Navy, ordering the blockade to be raised, because no man in the Confederacy would meet with uswhile we had our. hands on his throat by means of the blockade.. Not one rebel State would go into con vention until we had withdrawn our soldiers from their States. The shores of the Potomac command • the Capital, and the Potomac would be given up and. Washington would be at their mercy. Mr. Davis would say, when a convention ...was pro posed to him, that he had ncr view to anything of the kind, and while we had ceased fighting, - they would be fighting their very hardest. He , - Tattl d say, You expect us .to come in as States.. They wouldn't let one State go in alone—by no means. They would go into a convention, or stay out of one, as a unit. Would they go into a convention to be bound by the majority? Certainly not, because they would be in a minority—only eleven States to t*enty-four. The only way they would go in would be upon condition that whatever was : proposed, be fore it could be adopted, would have to be agreed upon by every State ; and I say to you, !gentlemen ' that such a thing impos sible. 'Now, are you ready to wlthdtaW yoUr treOpe from sea and land in all parts of the Southern States.? [Cries of " No, no."] If you do, you have only to vote for McClellan. On the other hand, if you wish to carry on this war to successful victory, . taa ( -fay sure way of 'doing that is by voting for i t tnam fAr,aon. [Great cheering.] I have said that We Chicago" pcatforrn sepwates the country into two pars. bat .I can't promise vat that it ends there. It introduces disintegration, and there is no saying where it would stop. If there is anything I deplore it is the prospeCt of the American' nation falling to pieces into StateS, held together by a rope of Sand. The Democratic party has an absurd no tion of State rights, and if we recognize such a po licy as this we do not separate the Republic into two parts, but into many, many parts. I use plain language, and I declare the Chicago platform to mean peace and disintegration. ANOTHER FLAG RAISING. Last evening another flag dedicated to the Vrtknit cause was flung to the breeze at Twenty•first and Market streets. A large assemblage of Unionists being present, the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. An efficient band discoursed most eloquent music, the campaign tune,. "Rally 'round the flag, boys!" predominating. . At the appointed hour the vene rable sheriff, John Thompson, called the meeting to order. Speeches were made by Thomas M. Cole. man, Esq., twenty-nve years a Democrat, who could not blindly follow the lead of aspiring and design ing• demagogues who had assumed the name of Democracy, and yet are ready to crouch at the foot; stool of the Southern aristocracy who disbanded the Democratic party in 1860, at Charleston. William M. Bull, Es q., also delivered an appropriate address. The Hon. Mr. Dennison, the great campaigner in 1852, in favor of Franklin Pierce for the Presidency, was Introduced to the assemblage, and he delivered an excellent speech, plainly showing that Demo cratic principles can never change. Many bad deeds may have been committed In its name, but never In the history of the country did the Demo cratic party show the white feather as a party until the last of August, at Chicago. Their offer of an armistice to the domestioloe deserves the contempt of honest men, and nobody but ignorant men or time-serving demagogues could possibly support such moral cowardice. The meeting was a great success, decidedly enthusiastic, and finally ad journed with great eheers'-for Lineal:4. Johnson, Union, and Liberty. THE REPI3I3LICAST INVIHCIBLIZEF Made a street parade last evening along Chestnut street to Union League Hall. A large number of the members were equipped in' their now uniform. The Club was preceded by a band, and carried with them the old campaign flags of 1860. Large acces sions were made to their number last evening. Although but. newly reorganized, it bids fair to• be come one of the leading Clubs in the present cam paign. They meet temporarily in Sansom-street Hall. The roll is opened for the signatures of new members aftei• four o'clock in the afternoon. They will parade this evening along with the Soldiers' Campaign and the Union Campaign Clitbs, and will no doubt make a creditable appearance. RELIGIOUS. CONSECRATION OP AJEWISIT TEILPLE. , The new temple of the Reformed Congregation , Keneseth Israel, on Sixth street, aboie Brown, a description of which has been given in The Press, was consecrated to public worship yesterday after noon. The main audience room, on the second floor, is furnished in the most elegant manner. The gallery, which is at the front part of the building, extends about half way along both- sides of the building. Its front is elaborately panelled, and it contains a fine organ. The ceilinglit beautifully frescoed. In the centre are three circular ventila tors, closed with scroll work, finished in lively colors, and picked in with gold. From the mid dle an elegant bronze chandelier hangs. It has a double row of lights, and has fifty four in all, in „,, , sroops of three. A number of other beau tiful gas fixtures are arranged along the walls and on the front part of the gallery. On the pulpit there are two large bronze fixtures, each containing seven lights, and represent the candlestick with seven branches in Solomon's Temple. The ark in which the Thora (the twelve books of Moses) are kept, is at the rear of the building, behind the-pul pit. It occupies a space of about fifteen feet in front and six feet deep. It has a circular scroll work top, which is supported by four Corinthian columns, and on the space between the top there are placed the two tablets of stone contahlingt lie ten commandments in Hebrew, and above, in letters of gold, In the same language, "God spoke these words." There are sliding doors in front of the ark, which, being pushed back, the curtain in front of the ark is revealed. The curtain is a most elegantly-finished piece of embroidery. it is made of crimson damask. Its border is em broidered with ~sold, and it has in the centre an em broidered wreath of gold surmounted with a crown. It, together with the elegant damask pew cushions, were furnished by Walraven, of Masonic Hall. The wood work of the ark is painted with China gloss. The rails and principal part of the wood work of the pews are of solid walnut. The floors are covered with tapestry carpet, and every second seat is markedlvith a small porcelain number. Consider ing the lout ensemble of the building, it is as Com plete in all respects as could be desired. The Kenoseth Israel is a reformed congregation. It differs from the old Jewish Church in several par ticulars. The open space, with the pulpit in the centre, is entirely dispensed with, and the pulpit is situated in the middle of the back part of the church. Men and women, unlike the old Jewish Church, sit together. Organs and choirs are used and psalms are sung by the choir and congregation, which is not the case in the old Church. The ceremonies of consecration, yesterday, began by a procession of fourßabbis, the president of the building committee of the church, the architect, the master mason,. and others. The procession started from the old temple, in New Market street. Eacliof the Rabbis carried with him a manuscript scroll of three of the books of Moses. Upon enter ing the church the choir sang the 26th verse of the 118th Psalm. After the singing the curtain of the ark was thrown back and the scrolls placed in it. Some of the religious ceremonies of the Church were then read, and the choir sang the 150th Psalm • and the 27th song, beginning; " We love and praise Thee, Sabaoth;" after which the Rabbi delivered a discourse, in which he set out the differences in the faith between the reformed song regatiorisiand the old Church. He spoke in high terms of the new lsottse of worship, and exhorted all to a faithful perform ance of duty. Another hymn was then sung. Prayer was offered by Dr. Solingen Other. prayers were read fromthe ritual, to which the choir responded "Amen." All 4 the foregoing proceedings were in the German and Hebrew languages. The choir sang in English the following : When Faith (too 3 cons for a sublimer creeds Her simple text from Nature's volume tauebt, She 'wakened melody, .whese.shel/ and reed, (Though rode), upon her spirit gently wrosght. • But soon from sysvassaltars she took wine, • And music followed still the angel's flightsi.

Lord is my Shepherd." - The choir sang Psalm.:sth, Ist and 2d. verses, and also sang32d, and concluded with sing, frig " All Praise Ms Holy Name, Hallelujah! Amen, amen." The choir. consisted of one: hundred and thirty voices, male and female, from Jaw.ish. and Roman Catholic churches of thiacity and-New York, a Atli orchestra and-church organ. Tho.rausic was emeel lently performed, and could. scarcely be surpassed. The solo, " The L• ord. is my Shepherd," as sung. by Mks Stern, was of itself a rich musical treat. The dedicatory ceremonies were nearly five hours in length, but were of such as. interesting character that the crowded audienoa showed no dl4osition to leave until the ceremonies were entirely over, MILITARY. RETURNING REGIMENT. The 104th Pennsylvania Regimen, Col. Ilaute, will arrive about noon to•day, from W,ashingozon, and be entertained at the 'Union Volunteer Re4resh ment Saloon.
