The New Vallandigham Democracy. .
The leaders of the new Democracy hav
ing raised the flag of Disunion-at National
Hall, on the 10th of January, 1801, under
the protecting arm of President Buchanan,
have displayed it on all convenient occa
sions rip to the present moment, when their
principles have been illustrated in letters of
light in the great veto message of Mayor
Guntheb, of New York, forbidding the
people of that city from rejoicing, over the
glorious victories of Farraout, Grant,
Sherman, and Sheridan. His knowledge,
of history is only equalled by his unparal
leled impudence in interpolating into a pro
. clamation of .the President for a day of
fasting, humiliation, and prayer, ordered
by an unanimous resolve of the ' Congress
jj, . of the United States, some of his own po
, litical notions, which, if he could have en
forced them, would have prevented all loy
al persons from partaking in the solemn
' services.of the day.
Clement Latkd Vallandigham, as a
Philadelphia iPeace man styles him, hav
ing distinguished himself by treasonable,
speeches in Ohio, was arrested by Major
: General Bubnside (a Democrat) for a vio
lation of a general order No. 08, of 18th
April, 1808, tried by.a court martial and
convicted" and sentenced to be imprisoned,
during the war, in Fort Warren, an Boston
harbor, which was modified by the Presi
dent directing General Roseceans to put
, him beyond our military lines, which was
done; and so pleased were Jefferson
Davis and his rebel associates with his be
havior that he was recommended by them
for the office of President of the United
States. He ran the blockade and appeared
in Canada among the rebel spies' and trai
tors with which that province has been
. infested since the breaking out of the rebel
lion. : On the; sth of May, 1863, Mr. Val-
LAkDiGHAji applied to Judge Leavitt, a
■ sterling Democrat appointed by General
Jackson, for a writ of habeas corpus, which
was refused, the Judge saying: " Those
‘ who live under the protection and enjoy the
blessings of our benignant Government must
learn that they cannot stab its vitals with
immunity." \' 9 ■
An application was made on behalf of
Mr. Vallandigham to the Supreme Court
of the United States, for a writ of certiorari
to the Judge Advocate General, for a revi
sion of the proceedings of' the military
commission which tried him, which was
refused on the 15th February, 1804; Judge
Wayne, also, an appointee of General
Jackson, delivering the opinion of; the
court. On the 10th May, 1868, a meeting
of Democrats was held at Albany, which
' passed resolutions denouncing the arrest
, of Mr. Vallandigham, and appointing a
b committee- to communicate them to the
President, which they did on the" 19th of
the same month, and received from him a
reply on the 13th June which routed
them, horse, foot, and dragoons. 'Whether
the members of this Democratic meeting
or any«of them were among the' leaders
mentioned in .the celebrated despatch of
Lord Lyons to Earl Russell, of the
• . lHh November, 1863, we cannot say
nor do we know if any Pennsylva,
nians were amongst the visitors of the
British minister. It will be recollected
that the ill-success of General McClellan
had seriously affected the Administration,
causing its defeat in Pennsylvania and the
election of Seymour in New York. “On
my arrival at New York, on the Btli in
' stant,” says Lord ; Lyons j “1 found the
‘ conservative (Democratic), leadera .exult
ing in the crowning success achieved by
the party in that State. They appeared to
rejoice, above all, in'the conviction that
’ personal liberty and freedom of speech had
’ been secured for the principal State of the
Union. They believed that the Govern
ment must at once desist from exercising
in the State of New York the extraordina
ry (and as they regarded them), illegal, and
unconstitutional powers which it had as
sumed. They were confident that, at all
events, after the Ist of January next, on
Which day the; newly-elected Governor
would come into office, the suspension of
] the writ of 7ta&eas corpws could not be
. practically maintained. They seemed to
be persuaded that the result of the elections
. would be accepted by the President as a
declaration of the will of the people; that
' ‘ be would increase the moderate and con- ■
sematim element in the Cabinet; that he
would seek to terminate the war, not to
push it to eternity; that lac would endek
, vot to effect a reconciliation with the people
of the South, and renounce the idea of
subjugating or exterminating them.
“On the following morning (9th November),
: however, intelligence arrived from .Washington,
Which dashed Ike rising hopes of tke conservatives-
It was announced that General McClellan had
been dismissed from the command of the Army of
the Potomac, and ordered, to repair to his home—
that he had in fact been removed altogether from
, active service. The General had been considered the
representative. of , conservative principles in l the
army. Support of him had been made one of the
articles of the conservative electoral programme. Hl3
dismlssalwas taken as a sign that the President had
thrown himself entirely into the arms of the extreme
radical party, and that the attempt to carry oot the
policy of the party would be persisted In. The irri
tation of the conservatives at New York was certainly
-very groat. It seemed, however, to be not unmixed
witli const6rDfitlon and despondency,
“ Several of the leaders of the Democratic party
sought interviews with me, both before and after
the arrival of the intelligence of General Mc-
Clellan’s dismissal. The subjects tiffsermost in their,
f minds, while they .were speaking to me, was-naturally
■ that of foreign mediation between the North and. South.
Many of them seemed to think th£t this mediation
must come at last,but they appeared to be very
much afraid of its coming too soon. It was evident
that they apprehended that a premature proposal
. of foreign intervention would afford the radical
'party a means of reviving the violent war spirit,
and of thus defeating the peaceful plans of. the con.
servatives. They appeared to regard the present
moment as peculiarly unfavorable for such an
Offer, and indeed to hold that It would be essential
: ' to the -snoeess of' any proposal from abroad .that it
s iwvld deferred until the control of the*Executive
Government Should be in the hands of the conservative
party
Lord Lyons explains to Earl : Russell
that it is “the Democratic or (as it now
styles itself) tbe Conservative party 5 that
be speaks of in tbe official despatch we have
just quoted. It is the first time that we
ever -beard, the old Democratic party of
Jackson, who' conquered the British at
New .Orleans, call itself a peaceful Con
servative party in time of open war, and in
confidential conversation with a British
■minister about a desired foreign, interven
tion to tie the hands of the, National Go
vernment in a contest with wicked and
armed rebels in arms seeking a dissolution
of the Union to found on its ruins an inde
pendent Southern slave Confederacy, ex
cluding by its pretended Constitution any
■ free State, even Mayor Wood’s city of New
York.
These gentlemen were really plotting
-.treason against the United States,! but so
besotted were they with the hope of office
and power that they appear to have forgot
ten the (Johstitution ana laws of the land.
It also - appears- that the! nominee of the
... Chicago Convention was selected by the
same Peace party in; 1863: -
1. Because he had lost 70,000 men in the
Peninsula and been inglorionsly driven
away from ’Uichniond.
% Because he neglected to support Pope,
and his friend and confidential adviser,
' Fitz John P orteb, treacherously dis
obeyed orders that would have gained a
victory, for. which he was tried, convicted,
and -cashiered, and for which he deserved
to be hung.
3. Because-he systematically disobeyed
orders to.advance on the enemy. (
4. Because he was’a peaceful, conserva
tive general, who never would put down the
rebels in twenty years. ;
5. Because if at the head of the Govern-
ment on 4th March, 1865, he would ask
for foreign mediation to settle the difficul
ties between the North and South upon
the basis of a permanent separation, and
the establishment of two independent go
vernments. 4
We presume Messrs. Wood and Sey
mour were among the leaders alluded to
by Lord Lyons, as both remained quiet
during the bloody riots in New York in
July, 1808. On-Monday, the Ist of June,
1808, a Democratic Vallandigham meeting
was'.held in Independence Square, and was
presided over by a former Chief Justice of
the State. The resolutions, which were
very declamatory and inflammatory, were
presented by a young gentleman of the bar,
and the. Apt resolution, which contains the
pith of the,matter, is in these words:
" Resolved, 1. That the arrest arid banishment or
YaHanfligham is a violence to which the people of
the United States ought not to submit.” '
The meeting was addressed by Governor
Biglee, amidst jcbeers for General Mc-
Clellan, and by other gentlemen, and in
the reporters’ -hceount there-appeaf to have
been some cheers for Jefferson Davis. 1
- On the 11th of June, ten days afterwards,
the Democratic State Convention, at Co
lumbus, Ohio, nominated Mr. Vallandig
ham -for j Governor, he receiving on the
first ballot 448 votes out of 461. Strong
resolutions were passed against the. mea
sures of the Administration. A committee
was appointed, who, on the 26th of June,
addressed a letter to the President, asking
a revocation of the order of banishment of
Mr: Vallandigham, and it appears also
that they had a personal interview with him.
In the President’s answer of the 29th,
after showing the entire correctness of his
action, he made the offer that upon the
agreement by the committee, or a majority
of them, to the propositions contained in
it, evidenced by them, signing their names
lipoirtbe letter, of which he sSnt duplicates,
and which,'when returned, he. would pub
lish, this publication would be in itself
a revocation of the order in relation to Mr.
Vallandigham. These propositions were:
: “1. That there is now a rebellion in the United
Stales, the object and tendency of which is to de
stroy the National Union; and that in your opinion
an army and navy are constitutional means for sup-'
pressing that rebellion. ■
“2. That ho one of you will do anything which in
his own judgment will tend to hinder the increase,
or favor the decrease, or lessen the efficiency of the
aimy and navy while engaged in the effort to sup
press that rebellion; and _
“8. That each of you will, in Ms sphere, do all ho
can to have the officers, soldiers, and seamen of the
army and navy, while engaged in the effort to sup
press the rebellion, paid, fed, clad, and otherwise
well provided for and supported.” . ’ r
Such propositions, which every loyal
man in the country would -jftgree to with
pleasure, were declined by the committee,
because they knew if they did sign them
they would virtually condemn their leader,
who was in heart,a Peace man at any price,
and a Secessionist. On the 17th June, the
anniversary of the battle of Bunker’s Hill,'
the Democratic State Convention met at
Harrisburg and passed the following reso
lution:
“ That we thank tha lion-hearted Democracy of
Ohio for the manly vindication they have given to :
the Constitution against the great crime committed
upon it by the arrest and deportation of Vallandig
h'am, and we assure them of our cordial sympathy
in the great struggle they are makingifor their un
doubted rights.”
In all these meetings not one word was
said against Jefferson Davjs and his as
sociates, for they could not afford to abuse
the Southern wing of the Democratie’party.
Their nominee was bolstered by McClel
lan, and gave his permission tojme gentle
man to engage in' the,defence of his native
State.'
The conclusion, from alltMs, is that the
new Democracy is a Disunion, Peace party,
headed by Vallandigham and Wood, and
men of that stamp, and that their real hopes
are for a separation of the Union. Upon
this issue they went to the polls in 1868,
and were defeated in every State but one.

The I.atc Captain George S. I.auman.
The list of fallen defenders of their coun
try ..whom the public is called upon to de
plore, and over whose loss private families
lament, has been swollen by the death of
v Captain George S. Lauman, the son of
our distinguished friend, George M. Lau-’
man, Esq. • This brave young officer was
but twenty-one years and nine months of
age at the time of his death, which occurred
on Monday -morning. ; He entered the
United States service as a private, and was
one of the first Union soldiers that arrived
in Washington when the rebellion com
menced. In June he was appointed se
cond lieutenant in the 10th United States
Infantry, was soon after made first, and
at the battle of Gaines’ Mill was br.evetted :
captain for his bravery, and shortly
after was promoted to a captaincy. He was
in all the Peninsula battles, in i the second
Bull Run, and at Antietam, Fredericks
burg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the
Wilderness. In all these engagements he
behaved with uncommon valor. Indeed,
his whole career was a vindication of what
bravery and endurance can accomplish in
the soldier’s life. lie was a true soldier in
every sense of the word, possessing not
only those qualities which ‘insure the
affection of soldier comrades,, but like
wise. those which win ; their admiration
and esteem. It would be trite to say
that so sudden , a close to so bright and
prosperous a career is mournful, for the
gloom which it creates is more than ordi
narily deep and permanent, and settles
upon those even outside the family circle.
And yet the dispensation is not one of sor
row alone; a lesson is learned from such a
career, a lesson in which all that is bright
and glorious and strong in manhood is evi
denced. All of the late Captain Lauman’s
virtues derive a fresh lustre from the fact
of his having died so young. His family
and his friends and Ms; comrades in arms
have nothing to treasure in their memories
of him that they should not feel proud of,
whilst they think of him in the seclusion
of silence and'tears.
The latest English Quotations.
Early in the war some importance was
attached to the opinions of the London
Times, because of the belief that they were
those of the majority of Englishmen. It
was not long before even Englishmen
lost faith in an oracle, whose pvopheeies
were almost invariably proved false by
time, and to Americans its speculations on
the war have been for years mere matter of
sport. The following quotations are new
food for laughter:
[From' the London Times of
- November 26,1880.3 .•••
Ttis evident on the small
est reflection that the South,
even if united, could never
resist for three months the.

. The Times certainly was wrong in its
first conclusion, formed on the smallest
reflection; it is equally wrong in the last,
asserted after no reflection at all.

than obtaining a view of Petersburg. The'valley of
the Shenandoah, which was his at the opening of the
campaign, has yielded its rich harvest to his adver
eary, and the spoils he has purchased with the
lives or limbs of 100,000 men are some fragments: of

[Vrom the London,Times of
September 14, 1561, ]
a We trust the public will
admit that thev have not
been misguided by our com
, ments on this obstinate con
test. , The great fact which
we asserted from the jdrst
has. now bean placed be
yond reach of controversy.
We said , that, the, North

South, and the. North has
now proclaimed the same
conclusion!
Democratic love for the Soldier.
When Vallandigham was arrested and
sentenced to exile, under approval of a
Democratic judge; a committee of Ohio
Democrats waited upon the President and
petitioned for the release-of that noisy
deniagogue. It would have been absurd
to give YAllandtGuam up on the request
of the enemies of the Government without
exacting a guarantee for his good behavior
andthat ofhisfriends. The security which
Mr. Lincoln asked was very simple. We
give the President’s propositions,:
1. That there is now a rebellion in the United
States, the object and tendency of which is to de
stroy the National Union; and that, in your opinion,
an army and navy are constitutional means for sup
pressing that rebellion.
. 2. That no one of you will do anything whidh, in
his own judgment, will tend to hinder the increase,
or favor the decrease, or lessen the efficiency. of the
army and navy, while engaged In the effort to sup

. 8. That each of you will, in Ms sphere, do all he
oan to have the officers, soldiers, and seamen of the
army and navy, while engaged in the effort to sup
press the rebellion, paid, fed, clad, and otherwise
well provides and supported.
And with the further understanding that, upon
receiving the letter and names thus endorsed, I will
pause them to be published, wMch publication shall
be, within itself, a revocation of the order in relation
to Mr. Vallandigham. .
Washikotoh, June 20,1503.
This proposition; -which: true patriots
would have been willing and eager to ac
ceptj-.was declined. Thehnost prominent of
all . the gentlemen who declined it was
Geokge H. Pendleton, the Chicago candi
date for Vice President, The cost of Mr.
V allandtgham’s release amounted in fact
to nothing'more or less than the acknow
ledgment of the Union. But Mr. Pendle
ton refused to admit that there’was a re
bellion to destroy the Union, and that it,
was the President’s duty to put it down.
Furthermore, he would hot consent to ab
stain from hindering the army and navy,'
while engaged in suppressing the rebellioii,
nor would he vole a dollar of supplies to
our soldiers and seamen. The declaration
is all the more remarkable when it is seen
that every man upon the committee could
have honorably accepted the proposition,
and yet maintained an attitude opposed to
the Administration. Political history does
not present a clearer instance of revelation.
. How, in effect, are Mr. Pendleton and Ms
friends inferior to open rebels ?
Out of a cloud of testimony,;we give
some local instances of Copperhead hos
tility to the soldier. During the recent
Sanitary Fair, when all friends of the sol
dier in all classes of life poured out their
offerings in the sacred cause of humanity
and patriotism, the mass of our most noted
Democrats refused to contribute a penny.
Some of these gentlemen, when called
upon, blankly refused. Not content
with being mean on behalf of disloyalty,
the Democratic papers either abused the'
Soldiers’ Fair in the vilest terms, or totally
. abstained from giving it praise or en
couragement. To this Fair thousands of
noble and beautiful -ladies, relatives and
friends of the soldier—daily attendants,
benefactors, and even nurses of our
hospitals—contributed with womanly en
thusiasm. Wealthy men gave their wealth;
our merchants their merchandise, .and
the people at large their admiration, pa
tronage, and in thousands of instances
their voluntary labor and hard-earned
money. In all this, ho one sneered hut
the inveterate Copperhead; the 1 people;
Were glad at heart that this day of trial
found us worthy of our fathers, and that
the poor and the rich were alike sensible of
the great duty of the hour-.
The Democratic party lias in cjvery/in
stance proved the enemy, not alone ©f our
soldiers, but of every poor man, A Demo
cratic judge denied the right of the soldiers
to vote-—a Democratic party sustained him,
and in the lath election boldly recorded its
vote against .fliei soldier. This is a peo,-
ple’s war against the tyranny and the aris
tocracy of the South, and the-'private sol
dier is the immediate representative of the
poor man. Friends of the soldier, bear
these facts in mind.
Sixth Congressional District.
There-will be a pretty close contest in
this district, and the general impression is
that Mr. .Geoege Biji, lock will be elected.
His political principles are decidedly Union,
and .his probity in private life is the best
pledge for his honorable conduct . as one of
the representatives-of the nalign, should he
be elected. His immediate opponent is a
legal gentleman. It is not too much to
hope, we submit, that Congress may he im
proved by a greater infusion of the mercan
tile or business ihterest’than it is now com
posed of. The man needed in the district
which Mr. Bullock will -probably repre
sent is not a mere legal splitter of hairs,
who “ can make the worse appear the
better reason,” like Milton’s Belial,
but a' straightforward man, -who will; al
ways vote right, and whose experience
as a man of business, will be useful to the
country in committees. Almost every man
can make a speech—such- as it may be—
but the experience we refer to does not
grow spontaneously, but-fis the fruit of
much labor during many’years, and, it
may be, not a few 'trials and 'risks. In
• Congress, Mr. Bullock would be. found
faithful, sagacious, and laborious as well’
as patriotic.
.Tolm Bright.
An excellent friend of the Union, .well
known and highly respected, whose iden
tity we shall not further disclose than to
.suggest that he pray be. Mr. John S'kie
ving, of Germantown, ■ has recently re
ceived a letter from Mr.. Bright, M. P.
for Birmingham, in which he says that, in
a public speech which he lately delivered
in England, he had occasion to remark
that the United States had given to the
world, in the last thirty years, a greater
number of useful inventions than the com
bined’intellect of Europe had been able to
produce. Mr. Bright further says: ;
“I watch your great struggle with undiminiehed
interest, I hope it-may now be deemed approaching
Its end. , .
“If this campaign should he as successful for the
North as was that of last year, there will not be
much left of the Confederacy by the end of this
year. •
“I hope to live to see the day when the integrity
of your country is restored with Slavery a thing of
'the past. Such a result of your groat conflict will
do much for freedom—not for your continent only,
but for the whole world.
“It is gratifying to me to hear so many proors of
the good win of your countrymen. I have endea
vored to do what seemed to mo just, and calcu
lated to promote peace between your people and
ours.”
The opinions which Mr. Bbight has here
expressed are those of a true citizen of the
world and advocate of Uie rights of man.
“ Mb. Iwkooln, It is said, alleges as a reason for
■drawing his salary In. gold that the price of wines
and other foreign . luxuries reauirod lor his table
has doubled, and that if he was paid In currency lie
‘ couldn’t make both ends meet.’”
We find this paragraph in a newspaper
which makes much of Mr. Yooehees, Mr.
McCandless, and such persons, and’ very
little of Geant, Sheeman, and Sheridan.
We have already contradicted its falsehood.
We are informed by a correspondent
that a house is now being built in a crowd
ed part of the city, which is so cheaply and
miserably put together that it is likely at
any moment to fall. We suggest to the
writer that he should state the case to the
Building Inspectors, If he should not Ob
tain some assurance that the "man-trap will
be removed, we will publish his letter.
The Boston Courier complains that the/
Administration sends home soldiers who
will vote for it, and refuses furloughs to
those who oppose it. The Tribune apjfly
asks, why ‘ ‘ the Democratic Legislatures of
New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana, and Illi
nois did not block this game, by enabling
all the soldiers from their respective States
to vote without agoing home ?” (The fact is,
that the soldiers arc for 1 the Union, (and
they vote for it, and the friends of Mc-
Clellan, (Judge Woodward, for in
stance, whom he tried to make oiir Go
vernor, ) are afraid to let them note.

the definition of the word last year, and
Maine and Vermont have this fall shown
that they understand it and approve it.
THE PRESS—PHILADELPHIA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1864 x
Mr. Hamilton’B Picture or Niagara Falls.
: A correspondent of-the Evening Eostl writing of
art In Philadelphia, gives an: Interesting sketch of
Mr. James Hamilton, an artist who is better known
even in London, it would seem, than in New York.
The Niagara sketches the writer does not praise
too highly. Niagara never was; painted before;
and when Mr. Hamilton exhibits the great picture
of the Falls, on which he is how engaged, it must be
universally conceded that he has succeeded where
all other artists have failed:
Philadelphia possesses in James Hamilton anar
tlst whose reputation should be far more extended
than it is. Hamilton is not merely a skilful conv
lst qr imitator.but aman of unusual originality and
genius. In tho Academy of Fine Arts are two of
his most charming pictures; “ Sunrise” and “ Moon
rise,” the former rich In light, the latter an exqui
site study of a dark willowy pool, with the moon
light pouring through the branches of the trees,
and diffusing Itself over the scene. ’
_ Mr. Flamirton has his studio in the suburbs of the
city, audit contains about a hundred pictures of all
sizes. About forty of them are .sketches or largo
pictures of Niagara, taken last summer from vari
ous points of view. Some of them are woll-finlshed
pictures,, and several of thea show that the artist
has the power to delineate on canvas the great cata
ract in a style which neither Church nor Gignoux
have surpassed, in no other picture I have seen,
has the immense grandeur of Niagara been so re-'
markably transferred (o canvas. The forty sketches
or studies have only to be finished and brought'be
fore the world to form a “ Niagara gallery’’ which
would astonish and delight every lover of art
Lately, Mr. Hamilton has devoted mnch atten
tlon to marine in which line, since the
Vanßcest, we have had but few great
painters. Among his pictures is one of “ The Mer
sey at Liverpool,” exhibiting singular power.' In
mere imaginatlve works also this admirable artist
exercises his ability. Among his works Is a large

The Billiard Tournament.,
Hr. Nelms and Mr. Eyall contested the first game
in the tournament yesterday, and, from the fine
play of the former, it is evident that he has.-at least
tho third chance for the championship, air. Eyall
game, was singularly unfortunate, and, as
-Mr. Nelms at the turning of his second hundred was
oyer 100 points fahead, conldhave hardly liop'ed to
win.- He bore his ill with that onua
nlmity so commendable in billiard-players particu
larly’, and players at all the games of life generally,
scoring,-in all, but 229. j Hls runs of2o And Wot
were 26,23,26. Those of Mr. Nelms were 25, 32, 74,
27, 40, 61, 23, 41, 46, 23,'28; average, 12.44: The.
second game in the afternoon, between Messrs.
Plunkett and Palmer, was very Interesting,
being closely contested. Mr. Palmer, in com
pleting Ms third hundred, led his opponent bv
71 points, a disadvantage .which the latter bril
liantly overcameby a capital run of 92. Prom this
point Hr. Plunkett kept the lead, andafter arun
of 46, failed to count on an easy carom,' leaving the
score: Plunkett 496, Palmer 417. Mr. Palmer, the
only non-professional in the ,tournament,
credit for the strong play he made under these
rather nerve-trying circumstances. Air this point
he took the balls, and ran 46, and brought up his.
score to 463, when his adversary ended the game.
Mr. Palmer’s best runs were 20, 23,50,21, 33,27; 46 ;
those of Mr. Plunkett, 37, 28, 92, 29,23,40. Ave
rage, 8.52.
In the evening Mr. Estephe, whose style is of ex
traordinary vigor and beauty, defeated Mr. Hewes
by the great odds of 500 to' 123. Mr. Estophe’s best
runs were 39, 24, 37, 65, 32, 74, 57-average 13.32.
Mr. Bird, in his match with Mr. Montgomery, also
achieved a decided succosb, Mr. M. making but 292
points. . The.Mgliest runs of the-vlctor were 21, 20,
38, 22,-28, 22, 30, 23, 21, 23,37. Those of Mr. Mont
gomery, 25,27—average, 9 23. -

Headquarters Army of the Potomac, Oct
2—Evening.—No firing ha s occurred on this line to
day. The enemy foil back this morning to their
main line of works, which runs from the lead works
to the South Sldo Railroad, or near it. : This posi
tion Is a very strong one and cannot easily be car
ried. " •
A division of the 2d Corps advanced to the Boyn
ton road, over whigh the enemy wagon their sup
plies to Petersburg. Two lines of works were found
unoccupied, a skirmish lino opposing the advance
and falling back as our troops went forward.
Rear the Boynton road, a very formidable line of
works’ was found, behind which the enemy were
posted In heavy force. It'was not deemed advisable
to attack them, and we fell back-ard occupy a safe
position. We lost but a few wounded in this ad
vance.. ■ , . ' ,
Our loss on Friday was greater than at first
stated,- The total in killed; wounded, and prisoners
will foot up not far from 2,000, more -than half of
whom are prisoners. This occurred in consequence
of a gap being left between apart of the'9 th and
■ Sth Corps, through which the enemy charged and
flanked the 2d Division of the 9th Corps. Among
the casualties are Lieutenant Colonel Otis, com
manding the Ist brigade of Ayres’division, wounded
In the face, but not seriously ; Colonel Zion, 84th
Pennsylvania, wounded in the ieg ; Captain Sny

- The Times on Faeraght’s Victory.— I The Lon
don Times, of September 17, ln summing up the re
sults or Admiral Farragut’s victory, says: .'
“We think'the reader-will admit that this is a,
most extraordinary battle, and; perhaps, the most
wonderful part ’ of it is the' comparative impunity
with which it appears that wooden ships can still en
gage an iion-elad. It is obvious to surmise that the
result might have been different if the Tennessee had
attacked her antagonists with shells instead of with
rifle bolts, which merely cut clean holes through
their sides, but it Is also clear that ‘ ramming ’ can
not be tried, as It was in Hampton Roads, if ships
can only so move as to elude the ram. What
destroyed the Congress and-the Cumberland was
that they were mere sailing vessels, and could not
evade the shook, whereas Farragut’s vessels, by
aid of their screws, escaped fatal damage, and'at
last, being fourteen to one, actually beat their great
antagonist at his ;own proper game. In fact, the
Tennessee was literally hustled Into surrender. Her
crew were knocked,off their feet every five minutes,
and were no longer fit for fighting; though their ship
was substantially uninjured. Finally, what are we
to think either of Confederate plating or Federal
. guns when such enormous pieces fafl to produee
-any effect on armor at ranges measured, not bv
yards, but by foot or eves Inches J; These are ques
tions Which, will be asked with considerable inte-
Test. and.tb&battle In Mobile Bay will, perhaps, add
one more lesson to those which we “have received
from the American war.”
Scene at a Funeral ™ Ireland.— On the'sth
ult„ the remains of a very -respectable and much
esteemed member of .society, Mr. William 'Wilson,
of Richill, were borne to their last resting place la-
Kilmore Church. . After the coffin was lowered into
the grave, and while “dust was Committing to
dust,’! the - Rev. Mr; Young, 'Primitive Methodist
preacher, gave out a few lines of a hymn. Just as.
the tune-was being raised, the . Rev. Mr. Jones,
rector of the parish, stepped out from the church,
and prohibited them from attempting to hold any
religious service in that churchyard, and referred
them to the act of Parliament, by which they ren
dered themtelves liable to a penalty of £2O for so
doing. Mr. Young said he was a ■ stranger in this
country, and did not; know the law; if he had he
wonldhave given the few hours’ notice required,
and then they could not be interfered with. Mr.
Jones said if -they persisted he would make it a dear
service to them. They said they had no intention
of doing; so, and the grave was then filled Mp, and
all separated;— Portadmm News. - W
Letter op Mrs. H. B. Stove.-Tlio London
Morning Star publishes a private letter from Mrs.
Stowe to a friend In England, in which she speaks of
the colored freedmen as follows:
. “Never were- a people more peaceable, more In
dustrious, more hopeful in all reapects. In the
army are no truer soldiers, more exact in discipline,
more docile : to command, more fearless in battle.
My brother, Colonel James. C. Beecher, commands
a regiment of them, and he speaks in the highest
terms of their bravery and docility. The camp is
also a school, and spelling-books and Testaments
take, the place in leisure hours that Is often given
In armies to worse, things.' i. •
“Eventually America, England, and the world
will be of one mind on these subjects. There has
been a great diversity of spirits throughout the
world in this our controversy, but God will-show the
right, and when the right Is shown all will aeknow
ledge it. So now. we keep silence and wait. The
takiug away of this accursed thing slavery will
.poral healing and soundness. One great
thingthathas.coriupted the world will have sunk
like a millstone never to rise, and not long are we,
Ihope, from the time when ; the amendment of our
Constitution will finish and perpetuate the work,
and make it as impossible to hold a slave on Ameri
can ground as now oh that of England.”
Archbishop Purcell not a Copperhead.—A
correspondent of the New York Commercial, from
this city, says that the. Archbishop of Cincinnati,
among.others whom he mentions, would support
McClellan.- If an ecclesiastic says aword In public
to indicate his political sentiments, he is abused
and ; insulted as if Be had no rights of citi
zenship and -no mind v of his own, and -yet
his name is dragged before the public by scrib
blers whenever itsuits their purpose. -We are au
thorized to say that Archbishop Purcell' never said
he would vote for McClellan.— Cincinnati Catholic

professes to be wiHing to give the South every ne
cessary guarantee, provided: the Southern States
consent to return Into the Union -. privately he as
sures those friends who: discourage the prosecution of
the war that he desires peace; and that ho will advo
cate at armistice and-a Convention of the States
should he receive the nomination at Chicago. ,He
urges,-as a reason for not openly avowing these sen
timents, that . the , people are not yet ready to endorse
them, and considers it impolitic to take anv step too:
decidedly in advance of the popular feeiing. He
feels assured, however, that the triumph of the. De
mocratic party must fend In. peace, for he.says that,
even if .it wished to carry on the war, there would, he
no aimy of any magnitude left at the disposal of the
Government by the iih day of March next. n -
A Patriotic Priest.— An example of patriotism
has been given by. a Catholic priest in Detroit. The
pastor of St. Patrick’s Chapel, Rev. Jame 3 Henne
sy, was recently drafted, and preparations were'at
once made by his friends to famish him with a sub-
Btitute. Father Hennesy said, “No, I cannot per
mit this. My country .has called upon me for per
sonal. Service, and I will have no other man go for
me. I will take my own place In the army.” a De
troit paper says of Father Hennesy:
To those who know Father Hennesy intimately—
how faithfully and tenderly he oared for the souls of
his flock—what manly and patriotic advice he has
given them as citizens—his unostentatious benevo
lence to tho poor and sick, this great act of patriotic
"self-denial will not be surprising.- There is no man
in the city who has more personal friends than
Father Hennesy, and, while they may in some re
spects deplore his determination', thinking he could
bo of moro service at homo in hlsmlnlstrations,tiiey
wiR yet feel that the example or his action will bo
of wide public benefit. :
A Question and an Answer.— Mr. James
Guthrie, one of the makers of the Chicago platform,
asks, in a late speech in Indiana, “ Who dares say
that we shall not have peace uponthhbasisofthe
integrlty of the Federal Union 1”
Mr. George H.- Pendleton, who, with Gen. George
B. McClellan, stands upon Mr.. Guthrie’s platform
and for whom, as Vice - President of the United
tte «»an who
dares to say it. Mr. Pendleton says frankly:. “if
your differences ere so great thatyou cannot or will
not reconcile them, then, gentlemen, let the seced
ing States depart in peace.”

The Attboaching Election.— There has just
been published in this city a pamphlet, which Mr
Pugh Has sent us, entitled “ The'-Electlon'Eaws of-
Pennsylvania,” digested, arranged, with notes of
judicial, decisions, and. fully. Indexed. Here all the
laws of a public and general nature in force on the'
subject of elections, including those which particu
larly apply to this city, are brought down 1 to the
year 1564, Inclusive. This publication is- extracted
from McKinney’s.“Digest of the Daws of Syt
If.® I®’ 1 ®’ ,. aß . a ®f nilot , < b 8 too widely circulated. -It Is
.fitting that all qualified to vote at elections should
be acquainted with their legal title to!that great
privilege,-and, above all, how to secure it by tho
peifcmiaEce of prescribed duties, (viz.:-payment of
a certain tax,) and by looking out pretty sharply to
see that their catties' are enrolled among those of
other persons qualified to voto.

New Chkbtnut-stkret Theatrk.-tWc are to
be favored at this theatre with a season of standard
English comedies. The icy coruscations of the Arc
tic ocean, the brilliant scintillations Of the aurora
borealis, *ind the rich exuberance of a Mexican sa
vanna, are to vanish at a stroke of the manager’s
wand, and to be replaced by the plain scenes of
every-day-life in merry old England," The villainy
of Don Carlos, selfish and unscrupulous, but daring
and lofty in its aims, is to be replaced by the petty
schemes and rascalities of a drawing-room intriguer.
In [ilacb of the sorrows and bitter revenge of Oga
rita. v?o shall listen to the jibes and jests of heartless
coquettes, ail ending, of course,-in'happy marriages.
The change is not to be regretted, for, meri
torious as is the “Sea of Ice” as a speeiSacle,
it belongs to an inferior walk of the drama, and
must -pale its beams . before , the brilliant ef
forts of the old dramatic masters. We look npon
the awful buTSting of the icy fetters of the sea,
the unnatural escape of the puny infant from
the surging billows, her improbable restoration to
her friends, and her plots of revenge against the
destroyer of her parents, with great interest It is
true, we are thrilled at the ever-varying episodes
of the play, but beyond having passed Jan evening
pleasantly, we are not benefitted by the entertain
ment. How, however, ws are to be instructed as
well as intensely amused. The writers of our old
comedies were remarkable no less for their wit'
than for their keen insight Into the workings of that
most difficult and important problem, 1 human na
ture, and we cannot fail to be benefitted by their
experience. Who but will have his wit sharpened and
his mind kindled by the brilliant repartees of Gold
smith, and Sheridan, and Column 1 And who will
not rejoice at the opportunity of seeing their crea
tions so admirably portrayed as they are now being
by the Warren comedy combination,, whose attrac
tions Messrs. Grover & Sinn have added for a sea
son to those of their already good company.
On Monday evening wo were delighted by Col
man’s wit. Dr. Pangloss, li. I*. D., and also: A
double S, with his quotations, Latin and English,
prosy arid poetical, apropos and mal-apropos, was
the butt of our frequent laughter. - Dick Dowlas,
son of the suddenly made “ pear” of the realm, who
would not hear of “prudence to a nobleman’s son
with fifteen thousand a-year,” afforded us,; too,
abundant food for merriment.' Last night Sheri
dan’s elegant comedy, “ The Rivals,” reigned as the
star of the ascendant. To-night we will be favored
with the cfieftPontvre of this delightful master of sa
tirical comedy. We will listen to light-winged
slander wafted by Idleness upon the breeze of male
volence, and hearing, we will wonder that such could
ever have been tolerated by polite society, for is hot
slander utterly unknown In our days 1 We shall
see the cloak of smiles and sentiment flung from the
shoulders of hypocrisy, and deeeit and vice exposed
in all their meanness. Then discomfiture will afford
us infinite amusement, and in the end virtue meet
with its ownproper reward in the smiles of her it
“loveth best.” On Thursday, “ C'olman” is again
played; and in “ The Poor Gentleman” wo will li3- :
ten to the wise opinions of a lord who thought that
“vegetation made the face or the -country look
frightful, because it spoiled hunting.” On Friday,
we will be amused by the “ Mistakes of a Night,”
in Goldsmith’smways pleasing masterpiece. Then
on Saturday it will be the bounden duty of every
single gentleman, and of Benedicks, too,-to see how
the “Sweethearts and Wives’’ of long ago conduct
ed themselves; and of course said single gentle
men and Benedicks, will bring their ladye loves and’
Ic'ari-sposi with them, to learn wise lessons from the
past. . .
The Walnut-street Theatre. —Miss Char
lotte Thompson, one of the most gifted of our young
artists, is playing an engagement at this theatre.
The lady ’s really great merits entitle her to the
compliment of;crowded houses during her entire
stay with us, and we have little doubt that she will
receive it, albeit the excitement of politics does
somewhat interfere with the success of our theatres
at present. ■ - - . ' . -/- v
Ths Temple or Wohders.— Kemembsr, BUtz,
the Inimitable magician and ventriloquist, has his
usual matinee this afternoon, at' his beautiful
Temple, Assembly Building.?. The Signor is as
lively and entertaining as ever, and so are his two
favorite auxiliaries, Bobby and the birds, pis
hours are 3in the|afternoon and in the evening,
‘ fnE'SxmsEbvTxcoir.—The entertainments given
every evening at the Assembly Building are worthy
the attention of everybody. The scenes are gene
rally interesting.
The Secretary of the Treasury announces that
he will receive proposals, until October 14th, for
forty millions of 5-20 bonds. The 5-20 S have always
been so popular that a liberal premium Is expected,
and a considerable amount will probably be taken
on foreign account, !■. The 7-30 loan will not be in
terfered with,'and - remains the most convenient in
vestment at par that is now in the' market, while ‘
the “ proposals ” may be desirable for; banks and
capitalists. The subscriptions to tho 7-303 have
already amounted to over forty-five millions. Fall
particulars in relation to both these loans will be
found in our advertising columns.

CITY ITEMS.
Always Triumphant.— The high compliment
paid to the “Grover & Baker ’’ Sewing Machine
Company, at the Easton Pair, In awarding tho only
silver medal to„them “for the best double-thread
Sewing Machine,” was well deserved, as also the
premium awarded to them for the ‘-'best specimens
of sewing-machine work.” This triumph, is the
more-significant, as all the leading machines in the'
country were placed in competition. Persons about
purchasing Sewing Machines, 1 should hear these
facts in mind, ana call at 730 Chestnut street, be
fore making their selections. 1 .
Still Ahead.— Tho high encomiums which the
owners and operators of the “Florence” Sewing
Machine (the agency for which in this city is at No.
630 Chestnut street).have lavished upon that Instru
ment have exeitedthe most desperate rivalry on the
part, snore especially, of second-class competitors, a
folly which can do no good with the people. What
we have, heretofore stated in those columns with re
spect to the Florence Machine will be verified to the
letter, in every particular, to the satisfaction of all
who call at the rooms and examine for themselves.
A Superb Item op Beauty.— “As merry as a
marriage-hell” is the heart of the rosy maiden who
can boast a wealth of glossy burls, bewitching the
heart of every beholder. This splendid , appendage
of beauty can bo insured without- fail by'tho use of
“ liufain’s Floriline.” It invigorates, strengthens,’
lengthens, and adorns the hair; retains it In any de
sired position, causes it to curl, and imparts to It the
rare and recherche perfume or the fairest flowers o
France.' Try one carton, and see.

625 Chestnut stroct. under Jayne’s Hall, one of the

establishment in the country, replete with every
thing that taste or a long experience in the business
could suggest, on Thursday, October 6th.
His friends and the public generally are invited
to call to examine specimens, and see the establish
ment..
Gen. Gbant ahd Riohhoisd.— General Grant is
moving on Richmond; he has taken many of the
enomy’s outposts, and the inner works must In
evitably fall. While these great events are pro
gressing, Rockhill & Wilson, Nos. 60S and 605 Chest
nut street, above Sixth, are getting up the most ele
gant and comfortable garments extant. Those who
understand their own interests look out to patronize
Rockhill & Wilson. • '
' New Music.— We have just received from the
publishers the following choice pieces of music ■ the
titles, it will be seen, are suggested by the eveu’ts.of
the times: “Mother, comef your hoyhas ; grot the
measles,” with a guitar accompaniment ■ also a,
beautiful quartette with a base so-low that it only
has to be heard to be appreciated, as suntr by the
Continental .Glee Club, at
Chestnut street, entitled “Goods marked down to
sui„ the fall in gold,” words by the “ principal
salesman,” clothed in appropriate music by those
eminent clothiers, Ohaties Stokes & Co.; also', new
