Tlie New Foam
An advertisement in another column an
nounces tliat the Secretary of the Treasury
offers to the public a new national Joan.
The terms are those -which made the great
“ Five-Twenty Loan”- so popular, and nOw
hold it at a high premium. The bonds of the
new forty million loan bear six per cent,
interest in gold, payable semi-annually, arid
may be redeemed by the Government af
ter five years, and must be at tbe eM of
itwerity. .
Those who say that the credit of the
TJnited States is depreciated by the war are
ignorant or malicious. Never was the na
tional credit stronger. In Buchanan’s
Administration, Howell Cobb, his,Secre
tary of the Treasury, offered twelve
per cent, for money, ancT could find
no lenders. Yet we then had no war,
and little debt. . A; plainer illustration of
the degradation of that Adm inistration,
and of tbe uniyefsal .confidence in this,
could not be found than the contrast of
their financial conditions. Now, although
we have had war for nearly four years,
and have incurred a great debt, the,
confidence in Government '' securities
constantly . increases. / The offer of a
new Joan is eagerly accepted, and e ven
if we should find no takers at home, there
would be more than enough abroad. Yet .
the policy, of borrowing from European
capitalists has never been adopted by our
Government, because every dollar, needed
to; maintain tbe Union is so promptly
supplied by the American- people. Mr.
/Fessenden, in. asking. for . the moderate’
sum of forty millions, does so with almost
the certainty that eighty millions will be
offered by the 14th instant. In this condi
tion of the national credit is sound reason
for rejoicing. The premium on Govern
ment securities alone is an emphatic reply
to Mr. Fielmoke’s declaration that the
•country is on the verge of ruin, and that
nothing can avert national bankruptcy but
a change of Administration. Mr. Fill
‘ aiobe’s own Administration was riot so
brilliant that Ms electioneering prophecies
, will be received with much respect. -
General Butler lias written; a noble
'letter to Hon. Simon Cameron, wiiick we
present to our readers this morning with
no ordinary pleasure. General Butler
-speaks for the army when he declares
that nothing but a sharp,, decisive pro
secution of the war can save the Union,
and no argument could be stronger than
that by which he proves that the election
of McClellan- would place the nation in
the hands of such men as Vallandigham
.-and' Wood, and .pledge it to their thrice
repudiated and infamous policy. General
Butler writes with the. energy of a sol
4ier, the wisdom of a .statesman, and, more
than this, with the soul of a true’ patriot.
A. Grand Mass Convention of Union
Men will be held at Williamsport, Penn
sylvania, on Thursday next. Hon. Daniel ,
S. Dickinson, General John Cochrane,
Professor Dunbar, Colonel Smith, of the
<s'7th Pennsylvania Regiment, 11. C. Par
sons, S. C. Wingakd, and Clinton Lloyd
will be the speakers. It is a significant
fact that all these gentlemen opposed
Abraham Lincoln in'lBoo.
Daniel Dougherty, Esq., began his
campaign tour last evening at theTTnion
League Hall, where he delivered a most
brilliant oration ; and we take pleasure in
announcing that he will address the citizens
of Pennsylvania, at Allentown to-day, at

I/ETTBE FROM " OCCASIOMI,”
Washington, Oct. 3, 1864.
Although the political situation is hope
ful, the ftiends of the Government must
hot relax their efforts. It is amazing, in
the face of the immense responsibilities de
pending on the success of the Union party,
that the enemies of the Government should
be so determined and active. . The secret of
this determination i and activity is in the
fact that they desire the ; dissolution of the
American Union. The mere election of
the candidate of another party could not
Inspire them to the exertions they are now
leaking. ■ There is a stronger element at
work, and the friends of the Union should
understand it. During my recent sojourn in
Mew York and Pennsylvania, I have rea
lized that nothing will be left untried to in
sure the defeat of Mr. Lincoln, and to se
cure the triumph of General McClellan. In
•old party times it was a common thing to
■hear that British gold was used in Ameri
can elections, but now it should be clear to
every patriotic mind that the foreign
powers are . actively interfering in the
present canvass. In a word, the last
hope of despotism in the Old World to
hreak up .the great enemy of despotism
in . the. Hew World, is in the defeat of
Abraham Lincoln.. European , despotism
has. looked with amazement upon the
’power with which real democracy, on this
•continent, has resisted slavery in all its
forms, and now/ when this democracy
promises to be successful, despotism pro
poses to intervene with all its strength,
-and every disloyal class, and every local
interest, however ignorant or selfish, is
being marshalled, ; under the influence
' of this foreign element, to destroy us.
"What is it which inflanaes that which
is called the Democratic; party so to
oppose the Administration of the Fe-
deral Government ? : What is it which
.gives voice to treason in the different coun
ties of Pennsylvania and elsewhere ? What
Is it which encourages men to attack and
to misrepresent the . President and his ad-
visers? >Wha,t |s it which strengthens such
newspapers as the N'ejv Vork lFwldin their
daily demonstrations against the Federal
Administration ? Our cause is good; no
people were ever aroused and enlisted in
•support of a greater and a better one.
And yet- in the face of this fac£ vve
.have an antagonism to the present Admi
nistration of the Federal Government
-such as the world has never’ seen.
•Some philosophers and statesmen, in
;view of. this condition of things, ham
dovMed whether the American people knew
■that they were fighting for. the institutions
<under which 'they prosper. In contrast with
this, it may he mentioned that the only dan
gerous opponents of the -Government are
those who do not fight for the Government .:
There are no factions in the army, where
every man fights or dies. There are no
lo quote Joe Hooker’s words—“there
are no Copperheads in the army.” The
only trouble that comes to Mr. Lin
coln comes from the easy men at home—
the men who complain of paying taxes,
and v who complain: of those mea
sures which are necessary to sustain the
heroes who are fighting the battles of free
dom. If the selection of the. next Presi
dent were left to those who are doing the
most to support the Government, the mi
nority would be so insignificant and con
temptible as to be unworthy of a record in
history.' Let our friends in Pennsylvania
and ’elsewhere think and act upon these
suggestions. “Confidence,” said Chatham,
“is"’a plant of slow growth in an aged
bosom,” hnd we must take care that we
are ’ not ourselves misled by cultivating
' it. In th< se times, vigilance is necessary.
■Vigilance everywhere. Vigilance' as; well
an towns, in counties, and in townships.
' ■Vigilance in families. Vigilance- 1 fn jindi
yiduals. It is impossible that’this exfator-
dinary labor and‘vigilance on the part of
the enemies of our country should not ha ye
Borne foundation. They have money.
They are working for a purpose. They
seem to be inspired by a common sentiment
of antagonism to freedom. At what pe
riod of our political history has any
person known these men to work so hard ?
I understand that in tike 'city of Philadel
phia, thesy have agents- and canvassers who
call upon families, to interrogate and to ash
how the votes of the male members of those
families.are to-be east. I hear that; they'are
even hiring soldiers, or those who profess
to be soldiers, to traverse cars arid steam
boats, to canvass for George B. McClel
lan. Now, when we reflect that Gene
ral McClellan has ‘ been pushed away
from Ms own platform by Fernando
Wood and Clement L: Valiandig-.
bam, and made, as it were, tbe apostle
of their doctrines, is it not clear to
the commonest mind that these mani
festations arc intended to destroy the
Union ? In our own State everything
Js hopeful. I have never looked upon a
brighter prospect. But thorough organiza
tion and incessant labor are necessary.
There is not a woman in Pennsylvania who.
has lost a husband, or son, or brother
Who should riot feel that the re-election o£
Abraham Lincoln is essential to herself, .
Let the men who have fought in this great
battle for liberty, and-who have come
back from the past bloody battle-fields, de
cide the issue. To them lam willing to
commit it. Those who are asked
throw their votes against Lincoln may
take their o-wri course; The most mon
strous absurdity of the present times is to
see a soldier opposing Abraham Lincoln.
A soldier may support George B. McClel
lan upon a mistaken idea as to his great
achievements, but there can be nothing
more incongruous and illogical than to hear
a soldier assailing that President of the
United States who has been the .firm
est; and truest friend of the Republic.
General McClellan is the „candidate of
defeat .and of retreat; Ahraham Lincoln’
.the candidate of progress and of triumph.
General McClellan is at home, querulous
fat and quarrelling with the Government
that still sustains and fattens him, with no
' responsibility to carry, with no great duties
to discharge, simply and (let me say it
:with entire respect) basely the representa
tive of every foreign and domestic antago-’
nism to his own Government; Abraham
Lincoln, seated in the Presidential chair,
filled with-solicitude for the great cause, and
compelled to discharge the' obligations 1
resulting from this solicitude, even if
be were not the good man lie is, must at
least do Ms'duty, because tbe eyes of the
-whole world are Upon him. . Which will:
you choose, people of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey—the easy and comfortable
man who receives the hospitality and kind
ness of Fernando Wood, at Orange, New
Jersey, or the man with care written uribri
his brow and -working bis heart, in the
Presidential Mansion ? Occasional, '

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
- The statement issued from the Treasury Depart
ment this evening, exhibiting the condition of the
public debt, shows a considerable Increase within
the past month;’ which is mainly due to the fact
that the Secretary of the. Treasury has thought it
right and just that the entire arrearage due for mi
litary servfee in the army, and navy should bo paid
up to the beginning of this month. '
Some of these payments have been long delayed,
and they involved an expenditure of about
$75, 0£ 0,000. .
The whole amount being provided for, and In
cluded in this statement, future ones will conse
quently show a comparatively small increase of the
debt. The capitulation on the 30th of September is
as follows: ' ; -- , ; ..

The above statement, as contrasted with that ex
hibiting the public debt on August 30, shows an In
crease of the principal of about $77,500,000, and of
Interest $4,301,531.
The unpaid requisitions on August 30 th were near
ly $79,000,000, and the amount in the Treasury
$17,190,000. ; ■
The unpaid requisitions on the 30th of September
were $34,041,000, and the Treasury $24,359,400. *
The -amount outstanding of the July 17th and
August 6th, 1801, six-per-cent, bonds, exchanged for
seven-thirties, is $114,537,300, or an increase lor the
past month Of $46,137,000.
July 17 th, 1861, seven-thirty three-year notes have
been decreased from $71,600,000 to 1-25,410,000; and
the six-per-cent bonds of March 3d, 1863, increased,
from $43,258,000 to $73,622,000 since August last.
The March Ist, 1862, six-per cent, certificates of
indebtedness have been increased- from $203,057,000
to nearly $230,000,000. -The statement . also shows’
that of the whole issue of $160,000,060 of.two year’s
notes, 5 per cent. Interest under the act'of March
3,1863, the amount less withdrawn and destroyed,
or ready to be destroyed,’, is $81,137,750, leaving

At daylight our outposts at Ironton wore at

session of Sheppard’s Mountain, and at 2 P. M-. they
succeeded in driving the battalion of the 14th lowa
into rifle-pits, and getting two 0-pounder guns in po
sition on the mountain. The three mountain slopes
overlooking the fort were filled with dismounted ca
valry. The south front was threatened by four lines of
cavalry, extending across the valley between the fort
andTronton,commanded by Gen, Marmaduke, while
a column passed around the base of Sheppard’s Moun
tain and formed at:the south. Gen. Cabell com
manded the dismounted cavalry on the slope of Pilot
Knob. The rebel troops thus disposed/ a signal oi
two guns was fired from the mountain, and the as

" The depopulation of Atlanta" shows Sherman’s
extremity in the way of supplies, as the measure

Headquarters Department or Virginia and
North Carolina,
In the Field, Sept. 26,1864.
Mr Dear Cameron : You will deem me a most
remiss correspondent. If you had boon enabled to
come here you would haye found much ef Interest
in' answer to the question: What of the rebellion
from 5 our point of view 1
We have been lying in front of Dee’s army now
for four months; which havo by no moans been
spent In vain. From the examination of thousands
of prisoners and deserters, and articles in the South
ern newspapers, I am certain that these have boon
months of depletion to the Southern army; that the
whole arms-hearlng population of tlm'States within
the rebel lines have been exhausted in the effort to
-recruit their forces, and the capability,-if not the
will, to resistance Is fast dwindling away. ‘ -
The Confederate Congress, in December-Jastj
passed an act, the.Arst section of which Is In those
words : “ The Congress of the Confederate States
do enact that alt 'white residents of the Confederate
States between the ages of seventeen and fifty are
In the service of the Confederate Statos.”
The act then provides how farmers, mechanics,
and others may be detailed by military authority to
raise the provisions and do the work for tire army in
the field. ■ -
What would our Democratic Jrlends who are so
blatant over “Lincoln's tyranny” say to such a
draft as that on our side 1 I would like to see Go
vernor Seymour's mild protest against it. I would
not like to .hear Yoorhoes’ denunciations of it, for
they would he vulgar.
Now, when I read in the Richmond papers clamo
rous calls that the detailed men shall be all put into
the ranks, how can I doubt the united testimony of
deserters and prisoners that the rebel means as to
men are at an end ?
Never having been a convert to the theory that
the provisions at ihe South would be readily ex
hausted, I have not placed much rolianco upon that
result; Yet it is certain that the means of transport
ing those provisions from point topoint hy fail havo
■ given out, and the railroads are becoming so crip
pled in their equipment, that It Is impossible for
them to furnish the movement of men and supplies
necessary to the extensive military operations re
quired to meeetour forces. s -"
Add to this the concurrent testimony of prisoners,.
deserters, and refugees, that the rank and file of
their armies are in the confident expectation and
belief In the promise of their leaders, that this will
be their last campaign, that the nominees of the
Chicago Convention will bo elected in November,
and thatthe independence of the Confederate States
will be acknowledged and a treaty of peace be con
cluded, and you have an imperfect synopsis of the
reasons why I belioye the rebellion near its end.
It will be for the loyal men of the North to see to
it that their treason does not end sin the way pro
posed by the Southern leaders, aided by the election
of General. MoCicllan and the Chicago platform.
Here is the only danger, if danger exists at all.
Therefore, whatever way haye been qr may be the.’
preferences of any man as to any person for the
Chief Executive of the nation, or dissatisfaction
with the course of the Government: upon matters
of mere'administration—yea, evenin the Important
points of Administrative policy, as laid down in the -
platform er foreshadowed in its acts—it seems tome
the plain duty of-every loyal man to support the
election of Lincoln and Johnson.
The question now he fore the people is not as to
the preponderance or fitness of Mr. Lincoln or
General McClellan for the Presidency. Admit that

neither.or either.one or tho other is of himself
the best man for the place. What then 1 One must
be eleoted. No other, result is posaible. We'are
then remitted to the class of political ideas which
eaoh represents; and to what is still more in#
ponant, to the men' and their affiliations by whom
each will be surrounded, and controlled la fact,
and by whom his Administration will be shaped
in tho event of election. Can it be that any true
man] especially any Andrew Jackson Democrat, can
desire this Government put into the hands of the
Meesi s.y a! 1 andigkam, Woods,. Seymour, Pendle
ton, Long, Harris, Voorhecs, and- their surround
ings, North and South! Let ussoo what their plat
lorm and their candidates mean: The war is to be
carried on or it is hot] if not, ■ then a disgraceful?
and dishonorable peace, which will be no peace, and
which no true man wants, Is to be the result. Or,
If carried pn, then both platform and candidates are
pledged to the disbandment of twor hundreds/ thou
sand colored men, how-dolng /duty as soldiers or
serving the army, their places to be supplied either
by volunteers, at an expense of hundreds of mil
lions in bounties, or by a draft, whlchis the great
ground of complaint by the opponents of the Go
vernment.
Nay, more, if either the Chicago platform or Mc-
Clellan’s acceptance means anything, these ne
groes are to be returned to their masters, to fight or
labor on the other.side. 'Does any one doubt]if
returned to their: masters, they would be at once
sent into the rebel lines, .where alone such property
lias any value! Upon the theory of the Chicago
platform and McClellan’s “constitutional rights qf
States,” I think it would “exhaust the resources of
statesmanship ” to show why-these men should not
be returned to their former masters, as, indeed, was
the practice in Gen. McClellan’s army. '
Still further, does not General McClellan twice
over in his letter and platform; promise now consti
tutional guarantees to the rights of the South 1
Is it possible that all these concessions are to be
forced from the North-by Secession and tho point of
the bayonet!
That which specially affects the mind of the old
and true Democracy of the country in the Balti
more platform is its declaration as- to slavery. In
tho view I take of this question it seems unfortu
nate that such a dec’"*"' - •
- -* • -*»uon was made, as ft proves
w fliumoling block to many.- /
Why. not treat the slavery (luestion according to
the fact that slavery dies and is hurled wherever
our armies march! No political action can aid, ho
resolutions of conventions - can hinder - that result.
The war, if- prosecuted to the end,' will accomplish
all that the most ardent anti-slavery man can de
sire, so that if the war goes on to tho bitter end for
the restoration: of the Union, then slavery is no
more, and- ail declarations that the war shall or
shall not be carried o» for the extinoilon'of slavery
are futile and worse than useless. The war Will
extinguish slavery whether we Wish it or not. Way,'
it has extinguished slavery, by rendering the slave
worthless. In Charleston, to-day, a. negro can be
bought for 1-3,000 in Confederate money, which sells
for 430 for one' In gold, making the value of the
negro $lOO. And this, too, with cotton at 41.75 per
pound In New York. Before the. war tho same
' negro would bring 41,000 In gold, with cotton at 12
cents In New York. ■
Some different system or labor must he devised
for the Southern country in the future, and peace
upon .any terms, even the acknowledgment of the
Confederacy, cannot prevent It. If- rain right in
this view of the subject—and.upbn this conviction
1 have acted since 1 saw-the fact in Louisiana in
1862—then what is there in the Baltimore Platform
to which any true loyal ‘fiemocrat, who 1 loves his
country, and iB determined to fight, if need be
for its. integrity and honor, can object. I see no
thing. But in the changes so rapid m administra
tive policy made by this war, no oho Will tie himself
to any party cry or party platform. ■
I have but one article in my political creed at the
present time. • I am for a sharp, anddeci
sive prosecution: of the war until the authority of
the Union is acknowledged, and Its laws obeyed
npon every foot of soil ever within tlia boundaries
of the United States..

Wbllsboro, Tioga 00., Sopt, 29, 1864..
This has been 1 a grand day for: Tioga. She Is
never backward in doing her duty, hut her Union
voters have fairly eclipsed all former efforts to day.
The occasion was the coining among us of Governor
Pierrepont, of Virginia, and Colonel Montgomery,
of Mississippi. Though the day has been stormy
throughout, hot less than 3,200 people assembled to
hear the distinguished speakers. The procession
was over one mile in length, and nearly every wagon
had Its banner, ’ * : \ *
The speech of Governor Pierrepont is regarded,
on all hands, as one of the very* best and most effec
tive ever delivered in Wellsboro, Ho dealt in the
indisputable facts' of history, and his points were'
taken in a masterly manner. I have never listened
to a finer argument in vindication of the policy of
the Administration. Dignified] calm, and courteous
in his allusions to the Opposition, he sent the Cop
perheads to the outskirts of the crowd-with crimson
checks and tingling eare. It was a grand effort.
' Colonel Montgomery, who' followed briefly, just
gave the crowd a taste of his quality only to creata
an intense desire for more.- But the labors of the
past week had unfitted him for-a speech. The
crowd excused him : with great reluctance. During*
the twenty minutes occupied he kept the audience
convulsed with laughter,

Daniel Dongbcrty at Concert Hall.
We do not intend to make what is generally called
a report of Mr. Dougherty’s speech at Concert Hall
last evening. We cannot, by any art of pencil or
phonography, bring upon this dull, cold paper the
words that came from his lips—the eloquent, burning
words that men: and women listened to with rapture
and delight, and will long remember. It is not
often our duty to describe a scenqlike this, and the
vision of the night has even yet Buoh a complete
mastery over the sense of thinking and writing that
we feel its utter impossibility.
We shall make no such attempt. The meeting at
Concert Hall; last evening was in many respects
the: most-brilliant ever held in Philadelphia, it
was brilliant, because it wanted- all of those quali
ties that politicians manufacture when they desire
to,show -what they call .“the enthusiasm of*the
people.” There was not a lantern—nor a Club—nor
a single torch; There was no orator with a New
England or’Westem reputation, whose name had be
come familiar to us by frequent newspaper mention,
. and who was introduced very much-as some ‘strange
animal In a show,or-astrange tragedian upon the
stage, to bo looked d^Bkasy'curiosity and for.
goteß, We bad sons, familiar to ns
as a man—for
many (not Dougherty,
whom all men certainly might ex
pect- the honors onPpropbet away from his own
country.' There was no especial announcement
very little drumming or blowing of trumpets, or
dreadful omnibuses' with dreary! Musloians—iio in
. vitatious to “ come as the waves, come,” in old
-hand*bill style,- It was simply,; said, modestly writ
ten, that Daniel Dougherty—our Daniel Dougherty,
. whom .we see every day on Chestnut street-our
-Philadelphia boy and -man, , would address his fel.
, low-eitizens on the “Issues of ,the Day.”
Well, there was; even little Inviting In the theme
.Who wantE to hear anybody, whose face may be
seen on Chestnut street any sunny morning, for-two
mortal hours on “The Issues of the Day 1”' The
morning newspapers are full of it. We find it
under the breakfast napkin-ring and enjoy it with
our muffin. The Issues of the Day! Every ward
has Its orator, and every village its politician, who
is burdened with these issues—and why ? Why, we;
of all people, we busy men .who bny and sell, and*
find It lost time to vote—why should we give two
long: hours to the Issues of the- Day 7 Not while
there are operas or the theatre or the club j and
crrtainly not from one who Is neither a general nor
an honorabler nor a distinguished foreigner, but a
plain member of the bar, whose face wo may see
any sunny morning.
Philadelphia did not think so last evening. She
was not too busy to go to Concert Hall. Andsnoh
a gathering! Philadelphia never did - as- well for
any of her sons. It was not an inviting night; the
sky was raw and gloomy, the. ground was damp,
and no domestic man would care to leave his chess
table or crlbbage-board, ;and certainly no woman
would expose her darling nev^bonnet, with all the
pretty fall ribbons, to go into the cold, uninviting,
drizzling night to hear any gentleman discuss the
“ Issues ol' the Day”—such a theme!—and a gentle
man whom everybody knows, the Daniel Dougherty
who may be seen.on any sunny morning.
-This .then be our townsman’s high honor. He
wentto Concert Hall and received such a welcome
as n 8 man so placed ever received beforo. At least
ten thousand people wont to Concert Hall to hear
him. Every foot of space, every nook in the galle
ry, the boxes, the platform, the aisles, the ante
rooms, the very bannisters were crowded with men.
and women. We use the word “ crowded” in a sense
Implying that the hall was so Ailed that fifty more
people could not have been Introduced by any sys
tem of hydraulic pressure. Down the stairs and far
along the street was an anxious multitude of men
and women who lingered In the hope that some di
vinity might enlarge the.hail.andbring thorn within
the sound of the silver-tongue. In the absence of a
divinity, however, some thoughtful men of the
Union League extemporized a meeting from the
steps of the building, and those who came at the
eleventh hour, and did not enter, were more nume
rous than the favored many who remained within.
And the speech! The orator was worthy of the
occasion, and although this phrase rarely has a
meaningpin our present sense it means everything.
Daniel-Dougherty told that audience that he was a
Union man; that having been a Democrat, he left
the organization when Its leaders- betrayed Demo
cratic principles. He told them that he was willing;
to accept all the issues of the war—confiscation,
emancipation, negro soldiery,, no Compromise, 1 but
war until. the end, even If the- 1 end{were" twenty:
years away. With what pathos, with what logic,
with what stern and unpausing citation and verifi
cation of statement by foot and- authority, and,
above all, with what grand and vehement decld-mo
tion, he held that audience for two long hours, we do
not say, for that would be intruding upon the re
porters, whose story must be told another time.
Men cheered and Wept; women cheered and wept,
for .the audience* went with this man, and passed
from stage to- stage, and from place to place, of his
over-changing mood, as though his words were
their words, and his thoughts tho thoughts that
dwelt within their own hearts. Oh! magic power
of voice, and eyo, and tongue. We writing men,
who find no audlenoo but the midnight-lamp and
the cooing of the pen as it kisses the untainted
paper—we writing men have no such audiences as •
these, aud it is with an almost envious feeling that
We record a triumph of oratory that, stands alone in
our local history.
Finally canto the end, and as the orator closed
with a burst of fiery appeals, ths multitude rose and
cheered again and again, and man thanked him
and women, in their quiet, coy , soothing way, blessed
him for having defended the causa of - the country
It was evident at an early hour that the Loaguo
Hall, capacious as It is,would not accommodate one
fourth of the people who desired to hear the elo
quent orator of the evening, Mr. Dougherty. A
“meeting was, therefore; held in front of the hand
some building, and Judge Shannon, of Pittsburg,
being introduced, delivered a very happy and pa
triotic address from the main doorway of the Na
tional League House, directly opposite tho Hall.
He alluded to the great Issues of the Day, Union
vermis Disunion, in a style that elicited the liveliest
demonstrations of applause.
The Judge was followed :by ,Captain polhoun, of
Kentucky, who had already spoken at another
place. Tho greatest enthusiasm was manifested.
The mass of people who were disappointed in not
obtaining an entrance into-jhe Hall were very well
entertained with the out door attraction. v
-The first day of the grand tournament for the
championship of Pennsylvania was a decided suc
cess. The audiences were large, and the excellent
arrangements enabled all the spectators to
have a full view of the. table. This is, of
course, one of Phelan’s carom tables. Yester
day aiternoon the tournament was begun by
the match, between Messrs. Victor Estephe and
Christian Bird, generally considered the two best
players in Philadelphia, and certainly surpassed by
Very few in'America. It is believed in the billiard
world that one of'them will win the champion’s
cue, and the supposition; gave no ordinary interest
to the game. Estephe began with good steady pi*',
which soon placed him forty or fifty-points t'evond
Ms opponent, and graduaSly increas|d the distance
■■'.tillin' the middle of the game §§, G vda x
• 'aSa-- hue'
/-_-h joints In advance, mr. Bird’s excellent play
could not enable him to diminish this alarming gulf.
Mr. Estephe steadily progressed,"till In his fifth hun
dred, wanting but ninety-one points to make game,'
he scored fifty-five by beautiful play, which was
interrupted unexpectedly by an unfortunate “kiss.”
A few smaller runs soon brought his score up to 492,
when Mr; Bird, starting from 393, made a run of 54,
playing round the table. Estephe then closed the
game, having beaten his dangerous opponent by Toy
points. Estepße’s runs oftwenty and over were 23>
SO,, 2d, 47, 22, 25, 62, and. 55. Mr. Bird’s highest runs
were ,27, 28,41,26, 21; and 64. The average of the
victor was 12j£ ; that Mr. Bird, 9]]; innings, 40 each;
referee, Mr. Nelms. The marker in the tournament
Is Master Morris Daley, of New York, a nephew of
Kavanagh, who came oh expressly to see that the
score was rightly registered. During this match
both the players were rcpoatedlyapplaude'd for their
brilliant play.
The second game in the afternoon was between
Messrs. Montgomery and Hewes, and was won by
the former by 500 to 379. Mr. Montgomery’s runs,
pyer twenty, were 63, 66,53, 30, 21, 21 ; those of Mr.-
Hewes,4s4; 25, and 22; average, innings, 69. ; In
this displayed great skill
and care. threw away,: several oppor
tunities by play of greater brilliancy than Bound
ness. Some of .the prettiest strokes made la any
of the games were played by Mr. Hewes.
In the evening a still largdr audience'was assem
bled. The tournament was resumed by play be
tween Messrs. Byall and Palmer, the former being
victorious by 500 to 425. The runs over twenty were
as follows: Kyall, 38, 35,25 ; 20,-22, 21, 26; Palmar,
27, 28, 38, 60, 36. Average, 7%. Innings, 62. This
game was closely bohfeßted, and the lead was fre
quently exchanged.' -
The second game was between Messrs. Plunkett
and Nelms, in which the latter took : the lead and
held it firmly, playing beautifully, and securing the
best run of the day, 108. Mr. Plunkett occasionally
showed brilliancy, but lost the game by 102 points.
Mr. Nelms’ highest'; rnns-were as] 39,’28,39,108, 25,

J-The New Aroit-strjskt * Theatre.— The new
and romantically-named play of “Bel Domonio,”
with Madame Vestvall, of whose , individuality we
'have so often .heard praise, as Its hero, attracted a
crowded, audience to the Arch-street Theatre last
evening. The play.has a fine dramatic plot, full of
startling situations, and is written with much spjrlt
by John Brougham, with f an especial eye to stage
effect. It is an old bit of romance, from a pas
sage in the life of one of the Popes, who affected
extreme old; age to gain the Papal ' chair, and,
as it was understood, to be a tool for one of the fac
tions in Rome, but who used his power to reassert
the authority of the law, inflict retribution upon
his enemies, and restore the dignity of the Church.
Mixed with this is the love story of Angelo Bracolo
forte (the Italian name ior Armstrong)-, a hero of
the people, who marries clandestinely a daughter
of tie house of Oamporeali.
Of Madame Vestvall we have heretofore expressed
some degree of praise. She Is a curiosity of strength
and beauty, and reminds us of the days in which
there were giants; for though, in many respects,
finely formed, she is a lady upon a larger scale than
the standard of her sex, and, as an actor of man’s
character, is decidedly not } out oLproportion. Mar
daite Vestvali is not less something of a marvel as*
a contralto singer, for her voice,"though not now
fresh and pure, Is singularly deep and large.
She: is withal an exceptional' and Individual
woman and artist, to whom It would be Impossi
ble to deny both Intelligence and power. With this
allowance we must regard her male perform
ance of the “Bel" Demonic” as a failure, ana
may find partial cause for this in- 1 some of those'
.qualities, which ate regarded her advantages.
But the- moßt direct oauses-are undoubtedly the
unfamiliarily of her English pronunciation and
her Italianized elocution, added to her malcoh
ception c-I*. tho English and the unoperatle
stage. Her elocution is "bad; and sometimes en
tirely irrational; her acting, though perhaps fairly
conceived, Is mechanical, sensational, explosive ••
tho, attitudes by which she represents a hero,*
are, from an over-acted masculinity, occasionally
more like those of a bravo. We might name many
stock actors who, without; perhaps so -much appre
ciation of the heroic as Vestvall, would havo given
us a more practical, sensible, and intelligible per
formance. The best, because the most sensible and
consistent, performances of last evening were those
of Mr. Carden and Mrs. Anna Cowell, who acted
the parts of Cardinal-Mont alto and Lady Camporuali.
Mr. Brougham’s dialogue presents no difficulty to
which well-educated stock actors arc not equal, and
the general performance of last evening was a fair
one.

A European Telegraphic -Congress.— The
Paris correspondent of the London Times says :
" There is talk of a telegraphic congress, to as
semble at Paris on the 15th of November, with the
double object of agreeing upon uniform tariffs and
reducing the prices, of despatches. Hitherto no mu
tual reduction cUlild be made by two States unless
their frontiers were contiguous, so that the teie
-grams had not to pass through a third country.
Preliminary conventions are. said to be already
agreed upon bi tween the delegates of Prussia, Bel
gium, and France on the one. hand;and between
those of Switzerland; Italy, and France on the
other. - It is proposed- that, a- despatch of twenty
words, sentfrom Belgium to the Rhenish provinces,
shall cost 2f., and one to any other part of Prussia

Rhine provinces, to he charged the same; If. more’

The State Fair a-t Easton.—ln my letter of
yesterday, I omitted mentioning. Wheeler &. Wil
son’s Sewing Machines. From timo to time, the
development of this Sewing Machine-has been
chronicled; until it has become of prime importance.
It is now no longer an experiment to be tried, hut a
success achieved, with results far exceeding the
most sanguine expectations. The
years since has become aj“ necessity,” So fully ha#
it commended i) self to public-favor, that it- is looked
upon as indispensable In every department of in
dustry requiring sewing, and the appointments of a.
well-ordered household are incomplete- without the
Sewing Machine. . :
Not only are tho wants of the housekeeper fully,
met, hut they aie found a necessity for the seam-;
stress, dress-maker, tailor,, manufacturers of shirts,
collars, cloaks, mantillas, clothing, hats, caps, c6r
sets, ladles’ boots, silk and; linen goods; umbrellas
parasols, &o. Some of these-branches* have attained
gigantic proportions, and it ;is not unusual to find:
from one hundred to four hundred Wheelers Wil
son Sewing Machines used in a single manufactory
Their advantages veto most signally
in onr military Emergencies. Begiments; brigades,'
and.annies clothed at short notice. - Indeed
the entire feminine force of the country, unaided by
machinery, would have been unequal to the exi
goncy. One woman alone has cut odtpaiSd her;
employees stitched, 500,000 cartridge bags; This is
not surprising, when the efficiency of the machine is
considered.
Seams of considerable length are ordinarily sewed
at the rate of a yard a minute, and that, too, tn a -
manner far superlor.to hand-sewing. Gbsrmentsara*
now made entirely by It, with the exemption ofsewi
Ing on buttons and tie like. Labes wee stitched on •
lolds, tucks, gathers; and plaits are tttrt and stitched ■

belong the thanks and the blessings. No “distin

Who Minds a Cold I— lt seems a small affair,
and in consequence is usually allowed to have its
own way, and yet how frequently a neglected cold
ends in Bronchitis or Consumption! Why not take
a cold in time, then, and by using at once Dr. D.
Jayne’s Expectorant, which for thirty years has
been a standard remedy for all coughs and colds,
avoid these dreadful alternatives! >
WHAT IS MEANT BY BBONQHITTS
Is an infl animation of the bronchia, or passages which,
convey air to the lungs. In its earlier stages this
disease is commonly called a cold, or a cold In the
breast. It usually comes or* with a little hoarse
ness, fcllowed by a moderate cough, with slight
feelings of heat or soreness about the throat or
chest. If not arrested the cough becomes one of the
most prominent symptoms, as well os the most,
painful and distressing; the inflammation Increases
in intensity until it finally interferes with the access
of air to the lung cells, when the vital powers soon
givo way.’ In most of the stages of this disease, Dr.
Jayne’s Expectorant 'effects a speedy oure by pro
ducing a free-and easy expectoration, suppressing
the dough and allaying the fever. A fair trialis al
that is asked. »
nr CONSUMPTION AND ALL PULMONARY COM-
. .. PLAINTS !-■
Dr. Jayne’s Expectorant will affora Immediate re
lief, by removing the difficulty of breathing, and
producing an easy expectoration; whereby ail Irri
tating and obstructing matters are removed from
the lungs. Having maintained its reputation in
all parts of the world for over a quarter of a centu
ry, it is confidently recommended as the best reme
dy ever offered for the diseases it professes to cure.
Prepared only at No. 242 Chestnut street, where
may also be obtained Dr. Jayne’s Sanitlye Pills, a
prompt and effectual cure for costivenoss, sjek head
ache, and all bilions affections. 003-2 t
