CSpeeial Correspondence of The Pf ess; 3
V St. Loots, October 9, '■
The course of the rebel army In this State may
now be more clearly traced. At my last writing,; a
portion of the forces nnder Marmaduko were pur
suing the brave little band of General Ewing, after
their spirited but unsuccessful dofence of Pilot
Knob. General Ewing’s fate and thatof his com
mand was for several days a mystery. It'appoared,
however, that he had retreated to the railroad mid"
way between Kolia and . Franhiln, followed by the
esuHantseriemy, whom-he frequently repelled, and
then, upon-receiving supplies, proceeded; towards ...
Kolia, where he met with reinforcements sufficient
to make him safe. With a singular boldness,’ he :
determlned then, with a small escort to take the
same road back again, making Potosion Tuesday [
night, after an eventful retreat. The credit of '
saving his ten guns is due mainly to the courage
and skill of Major S. Murphy, a veteran who has 1
been through numerous battles.
The depredations of the invading army, after they l
had reached the Pilot Knob-region, recommenced ■
at Franklin, only thirty-five' miles from this city.
In fact,-it seemed at one time as If fiardiy anypart
of |the'State,.except St.JLoiils county, would be
.free from their ravages. They burned 1 depots,
water-tanks,* and railroad buildings, tore up some
of the track out to Washington, sixty miles out.
They then proceeded as far as Herman, which they
stripped, the Inhabitants fleeing across -the river.
The main body of the troops, including intantry,"
: held on by slow marches: directly ; for the '.capital, :!
not touching the ’river. The latest reports last 1
'night; represent them as having crossed- Cole’s X
creek, and as surrounding'; Jefferson 'City; - In .
their course they have destroyed eight iohg bridges '
on the Pacific road, including those over the 03age
and Gasconade rivers,’very large. The loss to the
road cannot be less than half a million of dollars In
property destroyed. It Is singular, moreover, that
the guard of one hundred 'and fifty men at the
i Osage, only seven miles from Jefferson, should have
run upon the first appearance of the enemy, not
withstanding they had a good block-house defenoe.
Of the enemy’s operations at Jefferson, we have
only information to Friday noon, whon their ad
vance had appeared before the city, and an assault.
or siege was impending. There are in Jefferson
City ample foroe to repel .any attack from. Pride’s
whole forces, until the armies from this side can
raise the siege. - We suppose Gen. Price must know
that, unless he attacks at once, he stands no chance
of taking the capifcah There are, besides the local
. commander, Col. Sanborn, portions of the forces of
Gen. Brown, Gen. McNeil, and Gen. Fisk, who'are
also present. Gen. Pleasanton was despatched from
this point, with a hundred men j- during the' week, to
make his way to Jeff erson by the north side of the
river, and it is reported at headquarters that he has
reached there. All of these commanders bear a good;
reputation.’ Gen. Brown, It may l be remembered!
made a-very;heroic defence of Springfield, in this
State, a year ar.d a half ago, whore he lost an arm.
Gen. McNeil, among other actions, defended Gaps
Girardeau from a formidable assault, In which he
inflicted great loss on the enemy; Gen/Fisk was In
the affairs at Helena and the TallahatchieV ;. Judg
ing fromthese antecedents, It Is to be-presumed, if
Price does attack, he will be sorely discomfited. Oar
forces there 51 are sufficient to repulse twenty thou
sand mbn such as Price has with him.
Of the; movements; on, our own side it Is- not
prudent to speak'more than to - say that the indi- ;
cations are that 'the garrison will not be loft to a
hopeless and unequal struggle like that maintained ’
by the intrepid 'Colonol Muiilgan, at Lexington,
early in the war. Wo are fortunate in having
. force enough to furnish an independent army able*-
to whip Price’s force in the field. A. J, Smith, 1 with,
a division,~is now pushing along the line: of the-
Pacifio rogd, while General Pike, with a brigade of ,
militiamen, is guarding, the road in his rear, while
it is being repaired. General Blower, with a di
vision <of all,arms, arrived at this city, last eve
ning; having reached Gapc.Girardoau by an arduous
march from Kittle Rock. The river should now be
available for boats of light draught, so that the sup
plies could be easily, sent up by river, If the troops
had to march by land, It is doubtful if- the river
...can be;used>with ad vantage for Ught-elad'g.unboatSi,
It is difficult to see any.very luminous plftiS in the
movements of the,rebel?.. ..It was asserted while at.
Pilot Knob that they were going, to Jefferson Oity
to inaugurate Governor Reynolds, whom they have
with them, and,who was elected Governor by a vote
taken In the rebel army more than a year agOi"
What advantage. Is to accrue in this inauguration,:
, unless he can remain in hie capital, it is not easy to
explain; From the reports we got of their opera
tions, as they pass through the country, it would
seem that they are Intent upon: getting all the
j money, clothing, and recruits they can. . You have
been told that all the able, bodied men'in their path
are gathered in and at once paroled if they have
aught to do in any civil or military capacity for the
Union, and if not they'-are coiisdribed into the rebel
ranks. Now, while It is clear that the rebels will
work untold injury to the material Interests of the-
State, If they shall eventually carry oil' with thorn
all who sympathize with their views, the result will
be a moral gain to the State,:,
It has ; been suggested that this Invasion was to
assist .in the election of the Democratic candidates
at the next election, McClellan and Pendleton, and
Thos. L. Price for Governor of this State. This
can hardly bo so, although several circumstances :
show the favor In which .McClellands held by
them—for it is certain to bring about the very bon- '<
trary end. .-If Price be not expelled from the centre
of the State prior to the election, there is then a
very excellent reason why Gen. Rosecrans should
prohibit the election, or the whole vote be rendered
invalid by reason of a “ military Interference” not ■
apprehended at Chicago.
Again, it is a very impolitic move for the Demo
crats, for it gives color to tho report of the proposed
establishment of a Northwestern Confederacy
through the agency of the American Knights, as -
revealed in the Indiana plots, of which Sterling
Price was one of the heads.. It is beyond contradic
tion 1 also that the voices of tho Invaders are loud for
McClellan. lam told of the capture of a railroad
operative two days ago, at the Usage bridge.. He
was asked,.whom he would vote,for at the coming
election, and upon replying McClellan, Instinctive
ly the forty or fifty rebel soldiers set up.a loud
cheer. It becomes, iis to asA now, .ahAthe masses
must ppnder soon,’what interest have these'rebels
-in arms In the Interest of McClellan'! Is It "not a
confession that they regafd their independence-ai
about lost, and that their best hopes for the future
-lie in the favorable terms which can be' extorted
from McClellan and his peace friends ? v-. ?
On the other hand, If Price Is handsomely whipped
or driven from the State; the .eclat will redound to
the credit of the Government, so that In all political
aspects tke Invasion la a mistake. It can only re
dound to the interest of president Lincoln, and
however it may affect tho price of gold, It need give -
no concern to the 1 friends of Mr. Lincoln, and ho
hope to the Democracy.
/ I preler to think that it is a purely military opera
. tion, designed for the purpose of effecting a diver
: slon In ravor of Dee and Hood, and also for the pur
pose of recruiting men. The rebel army cannot
remain in the State; but they may destroy much of
the internal improvements. I.venture to say, also,
that It is ho part of .their, design to remain, but that
before the 'snow falls they will. retrace thoir steps
,via Springfield to tho moro comfortable climate of
Louisiana.
The probabilities are now that General Rosecrans
will not take the field, but that the task of driving
Price will be left to, Generals Pleasanton, Smith,
and Mower.
General Rosecrans Is said to have remarked to a
journalist that had he bean in Prioe’s place, instead f
of robbing a few stores at Pilot Knob, he'wouid have
been in St. Louis and out again with ten millions of r
gold and greenbacks in his pocket. This explains
the imminent danger in which the oity. was at . one
time, when General Biair and other officers here oh
sick leave volunteered for its defence. That con
tingency Is.past..

THE INVASION OF MISSOURI.
Rebel ©pinions of Allivirs near Rich
mond.
The Richmond Exammer of Saturday, referring to j
Friday >3 batti e, says : i
A battle was fought near to Richmond on yeater-;
day morning. -It'-was a signal victory for the Con
federate arms... The immediate'cause of the collision
was an establishment of the enemy, much too near our'
lines. They gained the foothold on Saturday last,
in the little affair after -whieh,san-artillery,offieer
was arrested by his superior in rank for sheiling an '
advance still nearer to our batteries. On that day
the enem y sent up two brigades of infantry and a
body of cavalry on the Darbytown road; until they
arrived -within I ull view o f our batteries. The officer
immediately In command opened upon them with
heavy artillery, and easily drove them out of" view."
'But his wasteful expenditure of ammunition being
speedily checked by hts. eeonoinical superior, the
"enemy Btopped in their re treat,, were reinforced, and
threw up redoubts.", "Working by day and night, and
uninterrupted hy the officious artillery on our lines,
they soon got themselves very strongly entrenched with
in, three and a half miles of the: city. In the, mean
time Grant moved over heavy foroes to the northern
bank, and.threw one corps out In the support of his
redoubts. ' , . •
On lids wing of his army an attack was mad# at,
daybreak yesterday; by a portion of our troops un
der the Immediate .command of General Anderson,
which was eignally successful. Grant’s line of In
fantry was heaten into rapld retreat, r His fortlfloa:
tions were Carried by assault, and ten pieces of hla
cannon, with several hundred prisoners, were se
cured by the Confederate troops. The last authen
tic accounts represent; the enemy to have been dri
ven five miles fromthe.clty, and It Is supDOsed that
'all further? annoyance from; that direction is now
effectually prevented. But the battle will probably
'be rcnevxd. Grant is unwilling to see the trifling
advantage gained last week so soon obsoured; he
has heavy forces, md will doubtless trylo do some
thing with them without delay— both on the Penin
sula and on thellnesbeyond .Petersburg.
A P etersburg paper of the Tth Inst, says of the
sltuation there; “ There Is but little doubt that we
aro on the - eve of stirring, events In this vicinity:
All appearances indicate that not many days will
elapse before 1 the ball will be opened in good earnest,
arufthat the bloodiest drama of the wartuiUbe enacted
ion the lines in front of Petersburg. Grant may feint
7 ah much as he chooses below Riohmond,but his true
designs are hero,- Mbl :here by win deal m? heaviest

Q-ALI.iPor.IB, Ohio, Oct. 6,1854.
The 192 d Regiment, which left Philadelphia la
July last; for one-bundred-d'iys servioe, has Seen
doing duty ' at this place slnos the 26th of August.
On the arrival of,the regiment at Baltimore, it was
ordered to camp at' Mankln’sWoods, where lt rei
malned only a few days, when 001. Thomas received
orders from Gen, Wallace, commanding In that De
partment, to proceed to Fort McHenry to relieve
the 7th Ohio National Guards.,' whose term of service
had expired. The regiment remained on duty at
the Fort guarding rebel prisoners, deserters, bounty
jumpers, &b , until ’ the lith of August, Qur ragl- •
mold, after being relieved by the sth Massachusetts,
one-hundred-days men, received orders to proceed
to Johnson’s Island, Ohio, whore it arrived on the
14th, and had hardly pttched tents beloro orders
came to proceed to Gain polls.

•- October 9,1804.
The flag-bf.'truce' boat] New.YoXk'ls.'hbw' at' this
landing, Witli and sol
diers, exchanged and paroled by the rebel authori
ties,, soon to steam for the North, and to enjoy
by a reunion with relations and friends, family joys
and associations so dear to the patriotand soldier.
In speaking of this party of returned prisoners,
-there is one. feature which deservos especial men
tion.' On board'of the NVw York are two officers of
colored troops, who jvere captured while leading on
their men—Oapt.-Mm--H.- Slgreaves, Odmpany K;
30th 11. S. C._T.yand Lieut. Viers, of the sth U. S.
C. T,. -It would] seem' from this that ’the rebel au
thorities have resolved .to. exchange the officers of
colored troops. • The wisdom of such a course has
no doubt been made plain by‘ the determination of
Gen. Butler to hdiieib dnly to,what is light.
, The capture and.treatment of Captain Legreaves
furnishes/a story of hellish barbarity which exceeds:
anything that has yet come from the land of chival
ry. The following is his own statement, and tho
man]who camr(md it without being-shocked at the
brutality which he suffered •Wilt certainly vote for
General McClellan :' Oa,pt. Legreaves was ordered,
with his company, to charge upon the fort after the
explosion of-the mine in front of Petersburg. While
pushing his way on, he found that a body of rebels
bad flanked him and got in his rear. His gallant
company cut a way for himto get through several
times with the colors, but he could not succeed on
account of a gun-shot wound-which he had reoeived.
While clinging to the old Hag, he was bayoneted Fin
both thighs and in the loltehoulder, but continuedt o
grasp the colors until he was rendered insensible by
a blojv upon the bead. -
Two rebel soldiers;,now dragged him to the rear
to plunder him, as tie firing was too severewhere
lie wos.captured;Previous to this; he had shot four
of the enemy, bayoneted one, and wrested a sabre
out of the hands of a: lad.of-thirteen; who attempted
to run him through, . He: had; the, satisfaction of
sending a ball through the .mouth, of the rebel who
shot * him through the leg: After he had been
plundered of all of his valuables of .which they
could possess , themselves, he was left with brutal
curses. " - ’
In this condition he was found by two Union offi
cers, who were .also prisoners. They undertook to
carry Mm to the rear on a shovel, whereupon a re
bel colonel took tbe-shovol away, and threw it down
an embankment, forbidding: its use for any 'such:
purpose. * Tie officers then-found a stretcher, and
were again about to bear the bleeding and, almost
insensible Captain from the" field, when they were:
halted, and the Captain was thrown off the stretcher
and placed where he was exposed to tho shells of our
army, tie rebels saying, “ Let ns see how he can
stand Yankee shells.’.’; One oi them,‘striking and
exploding within ton feet of him, covering him with,
dirt, caused him to wince, whereupon the rebs
mocked at him with boisterous laughter. Seeing
the effect oLhis shrinking, he remained firm wMle
these missiles were; exploding around him, but, for
tunately , was not injured.
Some rebels, more humane than others, again put
him upon a stretcher, carried Mm some six or eight
yards out of the. way of danger, and left Mm upon
the banks of a ravine. A. rebel soldier passing by
him; remarked ‘ that: be; was, too, comfortable, and
.giving tie' stretcher a kick, knocked it from under
him, and he fell into the ditjohj:where he remained
in Ms helpless condition for over two hours. Some.
one, not recognized by tie sufferer in Ms exhausted ;
con dilion, placed - him upon the. stretcher again, -
where he laid pleadingand begging for water.. The
rebels passed by Mm heedless of his. entreaties,
until one,: more heartless than tie rest, actually
spat tobacco juice into Ms wounded side and face,
saying that was water enough, for Mm. Others
taunted him by pointing, to the helpless wounded
colored troops by his side, suffering equally with
himself, saying, “Ask your niggers to get it for you.’’
In this state, neglected, insulted, and exhausted
by'his painful wounds, he became delirious, and
he was informed, oncoming to .his senses, that he
hadiaid a great , many harsh things against the
South and its cause, for which he was to be imme
diately hung, a rope having already been obtained.
Several of .them, abusing him In the most violent
manner, declared that they ought to hang the.
“d—d nigger.”
The Captain was then carried to the hospital In .
Petersburg, where more; Indignities and outrages .
greeted him. Being the first officer of negro .
troops ever'seen in Petersburg, he was a curiosity,
and attracted crowds of visitors. In his almost,
dying condition they had the courage to abuse and
taunt him., At very long lntervals aome one would (
"come to him with a look of compassion and a word .
of comfort. Only such would hand him water to .
.drink. . . . • v •
When he was carried to the hospital he was placed
between two colorecLsoldlers r whp were both wounded
‘in the abdomen; and when they moved, or attempted
to falsa (themselves, the blood .would spirt through .
■ their wounds over the .Captain. Before, these SUE- .
diedthemostunploasant substances
were emitted through their perforated abdomens,.
After'their; deathr the 'next, two worsteases that
:.could be found, from among the wounded colored ,
troops were placed each Bide of him.
. . Among the many who' visited Captain Segreaves
i was Governor,Henry A. Wise, who, as on a former
•occasion, was not at all frightened on approaching
the bleeding and prostrate body of an old man.
The ex. Governor, now General Wise, after looking
, at the negroes beside him, asked the Captain how
he j Med his position. He replied that he had no '
complaints to make. " This valiant general, wltha "
view of wounding his feeling, remarked that* ‘you.
ought to lie in bed with one of them niggers.” Such,
and many more, were the outrages to which this
wounded defender ot the Union waß obliged to sub
mit while in the hospital at‘ Petersburg, where he
remained until September 17th. He was captured ,
on the 20th of July.
■. The wards in this hospital were built to accom
modate fifty-five patients, yet the rebels cram one
hundred and fifty Into each.
, Captain Segreaves was' moved to Bibby Prison
in Richmond, where he 1 received the same treat-;
. ment whioh was accorded to other officers, of which
■ the public has already been fully informed. He
. comes back on crutches a mere wreck of-his former
self. The Captain has'witnessed the rebels.bayo-;
noting woundcd oolored troops begglng.piteously to
be spared. In the charge before Petersburg, the
enemy rushed upon thorn with the cry of iso quarter, -
and afterwiirdß slaughtered the wounded- wlthout
mercy. Ho,saw a rebel officer place the muzzle of&'
pistol to the head of five dying. cagroo3 • and blow,
their brains'- out. He saw a colored soldier across;;
whose cyeß a hall had passed, effectually blinding;
him 1 and coming ont of the topof-his headland, in,
addition' to that, had his left arm broken In two.
places. Tho Captain asked him If he would fight
again should, he recover, and his reply was that ho.
would do Isay much I harder the next ;,time. This
poor, dying colored soldier was sitting.upon the
edge of a ditch, begging for water,-when a young,
rebel officer came -along and kicked him, into the
ditch, where he remained for aver two hours. He
was taken out by ear own soldiers, and died soon
after.
Such is the-banta! treatment which colored bol
filers and their officers have received from the
enemy, and such they will continue to receive until
the Government shall demand for its colored sol
diers and their officersthe same usage which Is
acoorded to other troops among civilized nations,
l am glad to learn that the Captain and ‘ a seoond
lieutenant, whose name I have not heard, wore de
manded from, the rebel authorities. If this Is bo, It
will give treat oaupe for rejoicing, that the policy
of ‘eft# GoT<sraa«n4Va tlila respect has been success

Atlanta and Moscow.
In the opening remarks of the address recently
delivered at Macon,Ga;,.by Jeff Davlsp 1 he Inst! 4 '
tutesia comparison between Ifapoleon at Mosoow
and Sherman at Atlanta. That the analogy Is far
fetched and inaccurate la as apparent.as that the
wish Is 'father tothe tlfoughtrin the disaster which
he so ‘complacently stales will ■ eventually overtake
the gallant conqueror of Atlanta. ; Ills remarks are
as follows:
"What though misfortune has befallen our arms
from Decatur to Jonesboro, our cauße is not lost.
Sherman.cannot keep up„bts long -line of communi
cation; and retreat, sooner or. later, he must; and
when that day comes, the. fate that befell the army
of the French Empire 1 in Its retreat from Moscow
will bo reacted. Our cavalry and our people will'
harass and destroy his army as did the Cossacks that
of Napoleon; and, the Yankee general, like him,
will escape with only a body-guard.”
To refresh the"‘memory, of your readers in rela
tion to Napoleon’s plans with regard to Moscow, I
present the;accompanying extract-from Las Casas'
Memoirs of Napoleon, vis;:
“ But, sire, may I presume to ask, if Moscow had
not been burnt, did not your Majosty intend to es
tablish you'r : quarters'there !” “ Certainly,” an
swered the Emperor, “and I should then have held
up the singular spectacle of an army wintering in the
midst of a hostile nation,’pressing upon it from all
points ; lt would have*been the shlp beset by Ice.
You would have been in France wlthout 'any intel
ligence from me for several months; but you would'
have remained quiet, you would .have noted wisely.
CambaCeres would, as usual, have condUCted'af-'
fairs In myname. and all would have 1 boon as or
’ derlyas Iflhad been present.. The winter, in Rus
■ sia, would have .weighed heavy on every one; the
torpor wonld have been general. The spring also
would have-returned- for' all the world'. AH'
would have been at onoe' on their legs, and it
is well known that the French are as nimble'as any
others. 1 On the first appearance of fine weather, I
should have.beaten them ; I should have * been mas
ter of; their; empire.: Alexander, be assured, would
not have suffered me to proceed so far. He would
have agreed to all the conditions which I might have
dictated, and France would then have begun to en
joy all her advantages; And, truly, my success de
pended upon a mere trifle. For I had undertaken
the expedition to fight against armed men, not
against nature in the violence of her wrath. I de
feated armies; but I. could: jiojfc conquer the Jlames f
the fiost, stupefaction, and death ! * * « I was
forced to yield to fate. And, after all,' how unfortu-'
nate for.-France! indeed, for all Europe.”
A school boy, withthe meanest smattering of his
torical knowledge; would hardly think of Institu
ting: such a comparison, and for the areh traitor to
do so is pretty good evidence that in oomihg to grief
it has affeeted him to such a,n extent as, to produce
ramollisment, or softening'of the brain.*
There is a marked difference between passing the
winter at 35 deg, latitude (Atlanta) and 55 deg.
(Moscow) under, any circumstances; and this dif
ference becomes still more marked when without
shelter; and a due’suppiy of food. Sherman, even
if isolated for a considerable period (a contingency
by no ‘means apparent or probable: at present), is
dully ( prepared for such an ovent, and undcr any
circumstances he would not be palled upon to oon
quor' the flames Of the burning pity, fired' by its In
habitants, or the stupefaction and death resulting
from exposure to an extremely depressed temperas
itae; but would merely have to contend with’mor
tal foes, who on many a blood-stained field have
learned to fear'and respect him, -The analogy in
stituted by Davis, ridiculous as it is, must, how*
ever,: convince those: who have heretofore . had any
doubtshf the propriety of Gen. Sherman’s course in
sending the inhabitants of Atlanta out of his lines.
Unpleasant and disagreeable as the duty must have
been to him, it was in every'sense of the word-a
military necessity. And he is now prepared to carry
out successfully that which Napoleon desired, and
would have accomplished, had Moscow not been re
routed to ashes'. ‘ ", Johannes.
Philadelphia, OctoberlO, 186 i.
Comedy at the “Chestnut,”
Political pressure upon our time and space has
: deferred ; criticism of some rare entertainments of
“the Warren Combination” at tho Ohosnut-street
theatre. We could not pass such good perform
ances as Mr. Warren’s Nursery Ckickweed and Miss :
, Josle Orion’s JfeKie, in the same piece, without a
word or two of praise. This capital oharactor-sketph,
is a sort of companion to. “The Good-for-Nothing,”
and belongs to that healthy and popular family of
humor In which we class “To Parents and
Guardians,” and many of the: best composi
tions of Buckstone—pieces which abound in op-,
portunities of true art, and which have brought the
spirit of Dickens into the comedy of tho stage.
“Nursery Chickweed” is well proportioned in
character and situation. An old town-crier, very
“hard up,” once upon a,time,"hits upon the idea of
keeping a nursery for infants, and is soon accommo
dated with a couple whose parents hurry to Ameri
ca, from which they send instalments of money for
the education of their children in aHtlie accomplish
ments of ’ society. Old Chickweed , brings up the
child Nellie, in a manner 'after his own heart—not
by hand or by apron string, but, as it were, adlibitum.
Nellie becomes a.sortof boy-girl," who looks after:
bacon and poultry, fights the butcher-boy, and is theft
pride and pet of the old town-crier. When Nellie's
genteel parents arrive, after their ‘long and con
strained absence, the scene may bopartlyimagined.
In the upshot, MremA Mrs. Mountsonel solve a diffi
cult problem by taking Old Cliickweed into their Im
mediate service, in order to save the feelings of their
child, and, Indeed, to get her away i'rdtn the nur
sery. Warren’s performance is a work of art, and
for its sake wC recall the story. His Chickweed is
full ‘ of. reay unbroken character, and humor, with
one: very genial touch of pathos. Though we
often have, the {luxury of laughing,? we frequently
forgeti to laugh in the continued interest 'and
pleasure ;of the: animated,; study; it is one of tlie
best edmie performances .we ;know, and we may
speak almost as highly of Miss Josie'Orton’s Nellie ;
This lady, we have, no distrust’ of saying, is one' of
, the most attractive and accomplished comediennes of
our stage; and her range of performance is as versa
tile as her acting Is exuberant and natural. In the
drama of sooiety, where; many of our ladies are
doubtful,successes, she appears to be' perfectly at
home, This Is evident in her performance of Mrs.
- tirmsiy Delmaine in “The Serious Family.” War
ren was not more. successful: with his Amirai;
dab Sleek, which, though every - comedian seems
to be licensed.(to ( act ; extravagantly, he gehei
rally rendered with his usual respect of the fine art ’
of comedy. Artiinidab, as ’written by his : author, is
rather a broad caricature, and we may forgive Mr.
Warren’s occasional departure '.froin' -the soberness
of the character, while we cannot but strongly ad
mire the flowing satire and ludicrous gravity which
are so novel in Mr. Warren’s ylminidafi. His perso
nation has a sanctimony more dismal, a twang and
sniffle more liypocritie, ableatingat once more sfnis
, ter(and devout than other comediansj and his make
‘ up not inconsistently suggests something between a
mild Mormon eider and a roarer of the Conventi
cles. 1 Miss Emily Mestayer’s XBdy CVfiamZy is a
handsome; portraiture of dignified monotony and.
austerity, given with a graceful good sense. Mr.
Batron . has ( merit; in . being what ißi called an un
demonstrative actor; but we submit that Captain
Murphy Maguire, If not more demonstrative, is
probably more forcible, than (Mr, Barron.. Besides,
his broguo Is of .no humble quality, but rather
proud—just suCh' an,elegant" brogue as would be
oome a hero in the salons of liondon.
“ She Stoops to Conquer” afforded one of the best
entertainments we have yet received from Mr. War
den's ; social party. The- cloutish 'mischief and
rough, old-fashioned, juvenility of Tony Lumpkin
were, appreciated to the end; but we might object to
Mr. Warfeh’s'pefformarice as being too sturdy, and
therelore’coveriDg ; upthe;raierhumoK which should ;
be allowedto crop out of the. character, but Warren -
seems to have the conßtltujUon.of&prize-fighter, and
this is not all amiss in his assumption of Tony. The '
; nature of' his character rests; easy upon the Come
dian, andhe.performs.it wIHi his hsualfhcillty, quite
subdued to the. always gepiaf task which a true ao
; tor finds in his part. Warrems(humor; of-character;
is not so keen, voluhle,";and"subtle as that of Joseph
Jefferson; not so rich In eountenance,etherial in
spirit,and abundant.3n.fun'asthat or Clarke; buti f
it doesmot show thafsame oreativefresouroes and
geniusfit possesses a»yery wide. intelligence, and is
based upon a very broad experience. Warren’s co
medy has a breadth like Burton’s, with a more va-.
riable capaolty.Be has also patios of a rare kind
at command, and includes within its oireles the best
oafcentric old men of polite comedy as well as. the
miscellaneous paople of farce. We do not know
what Warren may be as a Shakspearean aotor, but
his education seems to becomplete.
Mies • Mestayer’s Mrs. Hardcastle added, to the
pleasure of Goldsmith’s play. Though w,3. think Its
error is not upon - the side of the authos’s.good na
ture, and that it is over-earnest and sharply defined,,
- it'was admirably conceived and judiciously,acted.;
: Mr. Boron’s >'cu«? Marlow has gentility ami: ease,
but we might reproach it with'being superfine and
unmanly. We protest against the. way In which
Young. Marlow's embarrassment is generally pro*;
seated oh the stage; 'Such abject trepidation, such
gratuitous stupidity and silliness of blundering,
rhake a senßlble author BOOm a fool.- It should
merit only the disdain of a well-bred young lady .
llkeAfiss 'Baricastle ; it is sure todistress aniutelli-;

A scrap of history may bo Inßtractlvsto us at this-' -
critical-juncture. '.Twenty-five osaturses ago, the
kingdom OI Sparta was invaded by the-King of Per
sia at the head of a prodigious army. ‘To resist'
their advance,'the: Spartah forces,, under edmmand
Of Leonidas, took possession of a pags - at which a
stand might be made. His small hrmy'was so - ski!-
fully disposed that the invaders wercdhteiTed from'
an attempt to dislodge it, and so the-King of Persia
tried to corrupt the Spartah chief djy oflbring to
make him master, of Greece. Unlike some modern
generals, Leonidas refused the bribe .with; disdain,
affd the Persmn Mng changed his tone;, had sum
moned.them to deliver up their arms. “ Let him
come and take them,” was the fearless reply. Thrice
the Persian army threw Itself ; upon that heroic
band, and thrice was it repulsed with great slaugh
ter. But .what the sklll and power of Xerxercould
not accomplish by fair means, a Copperhead Greek
named- Epialtes brought about by. treachery.. He
Jed 10,000 Persians.by a-secret passage to the rear of
Leonidas,- and the whole Persian’army followed;
Seeing the hopelessness of his condition, the Spar
tan hero 1 dismissed ajl but 1,400 of his. troops,and
with this little band bravely faced the foe. A despe
rate battle ensued. The noble Leonidas fell amidst
a heap of slaughtered enemies.. His faithful soldiers
defended-his body from abuse as long as they could)
and then they formed in one close band, as a hollow
square, facing outwards, and awaited their fate. Ev
ery man of them was left on the field of battle, - and
thePorslan, being in his blind fury, beheaded, the
body of Leonid as and nailed thetrunkto across. But
the countrymen of the noble patriot reared a splen
did monument to his memory and that of his brave
companions, on which were engraved these wordsii
“ Traveller, : go teU at Sparta that tee died in.obedience
to her scored laws.”
■Whojwould riot rie proud of such an. epitaph V- arid
who does not admire such patriotism 1
Have a people, this abiding reverence ■ for
law and-government 1 Do we appreciate the' pre--
sent contest as a'test of the vital energy of the con
stituted authorities of the oountry to protect us in
our civil, social, and persODalrights?

at such a time.as this is, or should (be,
“ Sirffte till the last arm’d foeexpires—

Southern Comments on Jeff Datis’
. Speech 1 at Macon. ............
The speech delivered by Davis- at Macon (da.),
which we published a few days’ ago; Is bitterly oritu
eised by the Southern papers. The Montgomery
(Ala.) Mail speaks of It as follow*: [
Wo hazard little in saying that the speech oft the.
President at 'Macon is not such at the public had. a.
right to expect from Mr. Davis at this critical junc-.
ture of our affaire. The least the. President says
abont the late campaign in Georgia the better... He
has shocked-the country ana the; army, already
enough by what has transpired under his. direction.
;to spare them a defence of Ms policy. ~The evidence
accumulates that had Johnston been.retained, in.

only have been ' saved, hut Sherman’s, hosts, would
have been destroyed. In the very .pinch of his cam
paign, in the very vintage-time of victory,.the Pre*
sident, without one ’ word of warning or , remon
strance, removed “ that old and skilful, general ’’
from the army. Sherman. In his report of, his
rations before Atlanta, presents the reader .with the
sequel; V ■ , - ... ~ ..;
These periodical interferences of the President
are fast bringing us to grief, sapping the confidence
of both people and army in his wisdom, encouraging
our enemies, and paving the way for what we,shud
der to reflect upon; His visits.to the West are usu
ally the preludes of toaster. His consultation .with
Bragg and Johnston. in 1862, ending with Ms order -
ing twelve thousand men to Vicksburg, against the
protest oftheae generals, lost us the battle of Mur
freesboro’, and the destruction of Eosecrans’ army.
-His visit in 1863 divided: Bragg’s army in front of
Grant at Chattanooga, by sending Longstreet with
twenty-five thousand men on a strategic errand to
Knoxville, perpetrated the terrible disaster of Mis
sionary judge,, where the Army of Tennessee came
nigh being annihilated.
The President is again on his travels to “confer
•with the generals,” May God deliver us this time
from the dispensation wMch the past teaches us to
anticipate.’ '
The Lynchburg Virginian contain s the following :
Some: portions of the speech of the'President, de
livered at Macon, are unworthy of him,-and give
evidence’of bad taste and worse temper. His covert;
allusions to the: great'soldier he disgraced, so far as
Ms official action could effect that end, are indeli
cate: ill-timed; and reprehensible. They are-not in
keeping with the dignified silence of the man who,
has not, so far'as the public know,' uttered one word
of complaint. Itmay.be difficult even for the Presi
dent to make a majority of Ms fellow-citizens be
lieve that Johnston was incapableof “strlkitigan
honest and manly blow for Atlanta;” Many “an
honest” and many “aAmanly blow” did he give; as :
the fbrtyffive: thousand Yankees killed or hors rfc
combat,3n theadvance to Atlanta would- testify;
Butletthis pass.'
If we’ were disposed to act the censor further,-we
might-add that the term“scoundrel;” applied to;;
those who had misrepresented the President’s offi
cial! action, must have fallen strangely upon the
ears of alarge audience of ladies and gentlomne as
sembled in a church, to hear the highest civil digni
tary in the land discourse upon publlo topios and
’the state of thecountry! •
- The announcement'by the' President-that- two
thirds of thiT army are absent from the field—the
most or them without leave—willtake the country
by surprise; What could not these men accomplish
now if they were in the line of duty. : ; -
The death of Mrs.'LiOUlse' Kirby Piatt,;wife of
Col. Don. Platt, and daughter of Timothy Kirby,
Esq., Is announced In the Cincinnati papers. She
was known In the literary world as “ Bell Smith.”
lINJLNCIAI AND COMMMCIAI.
There was but one thought uppermost yesterday, even
with the money-changers and the speculators of the
stock exchange, and that was the-issuer,of; the
election. The experience yesterday would tend to dis
pel the idea that the men of means have only one deity,
thatofMammon, toengage thoir affections.. -Corpora
tions arepopnlarly supposed to he void of souls, and the .
like supposition is of ten indulged in respecting the stock
gambler. At last, however, it is found out that the latter
is susceptible of some feeling other than that excited by.
' monetary affairs,. and is as likely to be as .serviceable to.
his country on election day as any most distinguished po
litician or patriot. The volume of transactions yesterday
was very light, and dullness characterized the market,
tinder the foreign dews gold advanced to 20U£ at noon. ■
The English.panic, it is thought, will likaly lead to an
increased demand for goldfrom' this side; The foreign
financial news altogether is; quite important. ; It was
foreseen that the news of . the victory .of Sheridan in the
Shenandoah Valley, following so quickly the fall of
Atlanta, would further disturb English opinion as to
the result of the war and its early termination in favor
'of the National- Government. The defeat of Early'
' caused a decline of. e@B per cent. in. thebogna Conieds-..
rate cotton loan. Some of the banking and mercantile,
r failures reported from England are of the most despe
rate naturey but the panic had not yet become general,
nor had the Bank of England rate of interest gone above;
9 per cent. ;
Government loans are somewhat lower; 10SK wa?

101X"tbe .latter a decline of %. City 6s are firm; and

limited; Reading advanced Pi, and Philadelphia and'

oibstoaks were quite neglected. ;
Preparations are being made for combination bids for
the new forty?mtUioa loan on fiye-twouiy bpnis. The
bids will be opened at Washington on .Friday, the 14th
inst. One half of the first instalment, or.Sfiper cent, 01,o 1 ,
