his party bad pledged I.b._
thrice repudiated by the pcopit,
cause of their profound confidence in
man who, for nearlyjour years, has stood
at the head of the nation. We claim the
victory of Tuesday as a NatiOral victory.
We believe that no man, who intelligently
helped to gain it, desires to use it for a
party purpose, but are sure that all
true patriots value it as an assurance
that the North will henceforth - be
united in support of Government against
Rebellion, and that the political strife of
the past three:year's will no longer inter
fere with the war and delay the restora
tion of the Union. Has it not delayed it ?
We ask the honest men who voted against
Mr. Lixoorai on Tuesday. Few of them
will deny that the divisions of loyal men
have been the secret hope of rebels.
We might predict the course of the
Administration in. the next four years,
for we understand the unselfishness of its
motives. Placing aside the inevitable al
boy of personal ambition and mistaken .
judgment, common to all organizations o f
fallible men, we know that of the spirit of
party rancor, and of party triumph, it can
not be justly accused. Mr: LINCOLN is not
reelected by a political party, and he
knows . it., In his speech on Tuesday
night he showed what interpretathin the
Administration has made of the national
endorsement of its measures, and made it
unnecessary for - us to advise Union-men.,of
the course they are in duty bound to adopt.
The President did not claim that all the*
triotism of the country was in the posses
sion of his supporteis ; he admitted consci
entious opposition to his re-election, and all
sentiments of personal elation were lost in
gratitude for the triumph of the -cause in
- which he believe% The spirit of his brief
address is one of moderation, of concilia
tion, of justice, and if this great victory is
to be fitly used, such must be the spirit of
the people.
The Government of the United States has
before it theplain duty of su:ppressing the ?V
-bellion, and of 'uniting for this object the loyal
men of the North: Unlike purely politica ,
_Administrations,- it has nothing to revenge;
no one to punish. It pledges itself to impar
tiality, and appeals to the impartial. Will it
be sustained , The Democrats who voted for
.1116Clellan must bi,ve the answer:
We believe that they will aus wer as A:me
-limns should. They have fought their
- fight and have been beaten. Now let
them try if the other course will, not be
better for us all. In our own knowledge
many Democrats who voted .for
JAN' have said that henceforward they.
- would, at least, do their best to Sustain Mr.
icom's Administration—with all its
errors. They have taken home to their
_hearts the truth that he is to be the
:President of the United - States • for
more than four years, and that the
"'Union is not to be preserved by opposing
him now. Now that the fierce strife is
over, they will see how easy it woke . ex
sggerate the failures of the war and the
- usurpations of the Administration, but how
lard it is to deny that the one is successfn
or that the otb.er has-been the:safeguard-of

The,y have the assurance that when the
!rebels desire to submit they will receive all
the mercy that justice will allow, and that

Sherman's - March Eastward.
The' campaign is not ended.
.GRANT has
not gone into winter quarters. SHERMAN
has not found Atlanta a barren -victory.
'With the average *weather of the season,
there are not only two months left for the
' , development of the present campaign, but
it is probable that not one week of the
whole winter - will be passed in idleness by
our armies. To-day we print a report—
something more than a rumor---which..indi
cates an energy which is unexpected and
astonishing, fand promises that the year
will close with victories even more lustrous
,
than those which have studded its summer
.and its spring ;with stars.
General SHERMAN has burned Atlanta.
THOMAS, with two corps, is left to watch
HOOD, while SHERMAN, with five corps, is
said to be now marching on Charleston, S.
C. If this is only half true, it is great
Mews. If SrrEnmAN aims at Charleston, it
is already doomed. Approaching it from
landward, he will find an entrenched city
'With its strongest works fronting the sea,
'without a garrison to defend it, and without
the hope of reinforcement. The legions
which drove before them the second
army of the rebellion, and wrested from
it Atlanta almost as easily as a man's
iron fingers could unlock the closed
hand of a woman, will find at Charles
-ton nothing that they cannot overcome.
Nor need SHERMAN fear for the terri
tory he has conquered, or that which
the enemy 'feigns to threaten. All the
land in Georgia that HOOD wants he may
have, but not one foot of Tennessee.
The mere fact that the cautious SHERMAN
has turned his back on his old battle-fields
and given the keys of the West, into the
hands of THOMAS, is sufficient, evidence of
his contempt of his foe, and his faith in
his representative. Now we may appre
ciate the strategic value of Atlanta, and see
how its capture has freed the armies of the
West.
But is Charleston worth this overland
march ? Is it good policy to transfer so
great an army from the heart of the coun
try to the seaboard ? It may be. We
can afford the time and trouble to take this
city, which has so long baffled our moni
tors and rifled guns., , Merely as poetical
vengeance, its capture might be a justifiable
piece of military self-indulgence, even had
the city no practical value to us. Yet
SHERMAN may never reach Charleston.
In the course of his march he may
find reasons to change it. He may
think Wilmington better worth a day's
Siege, Savannah a deinand for instant
unconditional surrender, or even Rich- .
mond the trouble of a forced march. And
by the way, what a masterly campaign
that would be, which; beginning with the
capture of Atlanta, should end with the
u n io n of SEOIRMAIVII troops with GRANT'S,
ind the surrender of Richmond to this ilia
tnense and irresistible army ! What if all
Gnerrr's recent movements had been in
tended to prevent the escape of LEE, and
ie Rich
inted in
Oppo
denied, that
ale •existence of
the Confederacy. The difficulties which
would bailie more wisdom than the rebel
Congress, which met on. the 7th, possesses
to overcome, are indicated, and at the same
time it is affirmed that the flower of the
South is in its army, and that its legislation
is controlled by a "plethora of little poll ticians." Yet these men, in the opinion of
the Engteilw, are "to decide, and probably
to decide ere the year is closed," whether 7
the Confederacy is to be established or the
Union restored. They Must,rnalutatnz,nel -
credit in Europe, " a tender exotic ;" they
must eensider the plan of bribing England
or France " by the promise of future advan
tages ;'l_they must not neglect " the necessity
of aiding the Peace Democrats ;" they must
provide the ways and means to carry on the
war, and to this end the rebel currency
" must be gotten rid of altogether." These
areprohlems which would baffle a Congress
in which every man were a ULYSSES or a
TALLRYBAND. But these are not all.
The little politicians must try a sterner
System with the army -'.the flower of the
land "—" or there will soon• be no army
left." Then must they decide if two hun
dred thousand slaves are to be freed and
armed,' and therein is a world of trouble.
"The measure is, apparently, of unavoid
able necessity," admits the Enquirer, but
would vainly discover " how to prevent the
Present evil of taking 200,000 productive
hands from our lands, and setting them
free,while—their, wives,,,and children re
main slaves—how to guaid against the
dangerous .leaven of such a population'in
our midst hereafter ?" Rhea° aro anti"
tions which must be, answered by the self-
evident absurdity of their suggestion& The
Arming of the Slaves will hasten the down-
fall of the rebellion, but it is only a ques
tion of time whether the bayonet shall be
placed in their hands by our Government
or by that of the rebellion. In either event,
the same result. -
Wir Clouds in Europe.
It is reported from Europe that the ,Em
peror NAPOLEON has given strict orders for
the withdrawal of every available soldier
from Mexico and Algiers at the first possi
ble moment, in ,order " that the army of
France may be quite free in the Spring."
It may be asked what probable occunation
could that army then expect ?, The fact is,
a Convention has been entered into by
NAPOLEON and the King of Italy, by
which, two years after the latter officially
makes Florence his capital, the French
army of occupation will be withdrawn
from Rome ; by which, too, the Pope, as a
temporal Prince, would be allowed to re--
tain . that portion of the States of the Church
formerly held by the Papacy, retaining,
also,_a small but sufficient army of his-own,
and having part. of his national debt "as
sumed by VICTOR EMMANUEL.
It is admitted that the .King of Italy re
linquishes the design, -if not the , desire, of
making Rome his capital. The Eternal
City will be left to the Pope. But it is ex
pected that, as early as possible, VICTOR
EMMANUEL will strike a blow to round off
his kingdom by, restoring Venetia to it,
and it is thought not improbable that
NAPOLEON may assist him in this, if neces
sary. That would give work to the gallant
soldiers of France.
All that is yet known of the new
Franco-Italian Convention is the summary
of its leading provisions communicated in a
recent despatch from M. DROUYN DE DIUYS,
foreign minister of France, to M. DE BAR
TICE& There is no appearance of threat
in what is proposed, but the Convention is
looked upon, in Vienna, as a second edi-
tion of NAroixoN's famous and fatal
words addressed to Baron HITinsTE,R, at the
Tuileries reception of the Ist of January,
1859. As soon as news of the Convention
reached Vienna, orders were despatched
to hasten the armament's of Verona, Man
tua, Legnano, and Peschiera. The whole
frontier of Venetia has been placed in a
state of defence, or, as the Austrians say,
on a war footing. New and extensive for
tifications are already being constructed
on the left bank of the Po. On the , other
hand, says the authority we take these
particulars from, " the .Itallans are re
doubling their activity, and the War Office
of Turin is busy from nine o'clock in
the morning till night. The hainmer of the
arsenal here does not rest even during the
night, and the same occurs in those of Pia
cenza, Bologna, 'Alessandria, and Casale.
In consequence of the transfer of, the capi
tal to Florence, orders have been given to
have the fortifications of Bologha greatly
increased and strengthen.ed. New forts
will be raised on the left side of the River
Reno, for the erection of which 20,000,000
francs are required. The large railway
station itself will be turned into a strong
fort, and a new one will be built at San Fe
lice gate. There is a &warming of work-
men from all parts •of the kingdom in the
dockyards of Naples, Genoa, and Castella-
mare, which 'shows that the Italian navy is
not idle, but preparing itself to assert by
deeds its superiority over the meagre and
timid Austrian fleet anchored at Pola. The
Italians, in short, think that if they are
compelled to renounce Rome, at least for
the present, Venice—the noble, the self
denyin g, the martyr Venice--will be united
to the Italian kingdom not later than next
spring." In short, it is considered as on
the cards that there will be a second war in
Italy, before many months of 1865 have
passed
commiTs of the Richmond Ex
aminer on our October elections are highly
amusing. Its sapient editor confesses to
utter disgust of the entire system of popu
lar suffrage. We doubt not he vastly pre
fers the old Virginia mode, which restricts
the right of suffrage to property holders, or
even the South Carolina arrangement, by
which the choice of President was not en
joyed_by the masses at all (black or white),
but was vested in the members of the Le
gislature, always wealthy and aristocratic
slaveholding nabobs 1 They will relish the
November vote still less.
" HERE goes a vote to put down slavery
forever and ever," was quite a common
expreesion with the voters in our city on
Tuesday last. And so far as ballots can
effect it, extinguished it will he, as surely as
the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

IT is a pleasing-reflection that, during the
recent canvass, not a solitary principle
at stake was " shirked " by the Urtiou
presses and orators. The emancipation pro
clamation, confiscation act, war taxes, and
all incidental measures deemed by the A.d-c
ministration necessary to the suppression of
the rebellion, were fairly and fully met, and,
their responsibility assumed. The yopular

FOR THE POPOLAR CONFLDRNOE IN Itht
At a late hour last night President Iguana was
serenaded by a club . of Pennsylvanians, headed by
Oapt. Thomas, of that State. Being loudly called
for, the President appeared at a window, and spoke
as follows:
FIVIII , IDS AND FELLOW-CITIZENS : Even before I
had been informed by you that this compliment was,
paid me by loyal, citizens of Pennsylvania friendly
to me, I had Inferred that you were of that portion
of my countrymen who, think that the best interests
of the nation are to be subserved by the support of
the present Administration. •
I do not pretend to .say that you who think so,
embrace all, the patriotism and loyalty or the coun
try ; but I do believe, and -I trust without personal
interest, that the welfare of the country does require
that such support and endorsement be given. I
earnestly believe that the consequences of this day's
work, if it be as you assume, and as now seems pro
bable, will be to the lasting advantage, if not to the
very salvation of the country. •
I cannot at this hour say what has been the result
of the election ;`but, whatever it may be, I have no
desire to modify this opinion: that all who have
la.bored to-day in behalf of Ake Union organization
have wrought for the best interest of their country
and the world. not only for the present, but for all
future ages.
I am thankful to God for this approval - Of the
people; but, while deeply grateful for this mark] f
their confidence in me, if I know my b o 4r‘rairgra• -
titude is free irom any taint okpersonal triumph.
I do not impugn the : ouelVeS of any one opposed
to em. „riitt-- -

thanks to the Almighty for this evidence
~ o rthe people's resolution to stand - by free govern
mentand the rights of humanity.

coen!?ro/ OF THE EWES.%
The Tribune gives Abraham Lincoln 190 majority
in thti electoral college, independent of eleven oleo
tors in the Pacific States, which may be counted for
Lincoln. •
Abraham Lincoln is re=elected President by a very,
large electoral and still more decisive popular ma
jority. He can no longer be taunted as a " mi
nority " President, and no practical question can
arise as to the counting of the votes of dubious
States. He is the choice of the American people by
a prePonderanoe which must disconcert and baffle
the conspirators for Northwestern and other rebel
parasite Confederacies. His Administration is
stamped with popular approbation, and he may
now go on with_the work of subduing rebellion.
while restoring - and - pacifying the Union. With
four clear.years before him, it is hardly possible that
he should not succeed.
—The.. Times figures- up 133 electors for Lincoln
beyond the shadow of doubt. with , oleo o.a v g
probable. 'Of - the - New•Yorrelebtles :
"The heavy majorities for McClellan in this city ,
and in Kings county (Brooklyn), though not unex
pected, leave the State of New York, at the present
writing, in some little doubt, though the probability
is that the State has gone for Lincoln by a decided
majority.
"From the States of Kentucky and Missouri—
supposed for-McClellan-we .have no returns, and
the result in New Jersey is by no means certain for
McClellan."
The . World holds that "Abraham Lincoln is,
without any doubt re-elected President of the
United States." The "Republicans," it is allowed,
have carried the following States in addition to all
of . New England: Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa,
Maryland, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas,
West Virginia. The . States claimed for. McClellan
are Pennsylvania, California, Delaware, Oregon,
Nevada s and are more likely to be Lincoln than
McClellan, With regard to New York State, the
World's:vs :
"A good deal of interest attaches to the State of
New - York, but we apprehend there is no reasonable
doubt that it has been carried • for McClellan and
Seymour by something over 6,000 majority.
"New York city polled 410,307 votes, Of which
McClellan received 73,696, and Lincoln 36,611. We
lost some 8,000 votes by the neglect of the Common
Council to provide proper accommodatioes for those
who desired to cast their ballots. The Republicans
gain five Congressmen in this State, and have un
doubtedly carried the State Assembly. The next
House of Representatives will have a two-thirde
Republican majority."
The New York Daily News admits the undoubted
election of Lincoln
"In this State Governor Seymour is re-elected,
the Republican candidate, Mr. Fenton, running far
below his ticket.
"In this city the Democratic ticket has generally
been successful, but the returns show that three
Republican candidates for Congress have been
elected. -
"In the absence of satisfactory returns from other
States, haves scarcely necessary to designate those
which shown a preference for the present
Presidential incumbent. It will be observed, how
ever, that the contest in New Jersey hes been so
close a one as to render the result there possibly ,
problematical." '
The Evening Post takes noble ground. This is its
interpretation of the meaning of Mr. Lincoln's re- .
election : -
" We do not exult In the event of the election of
yesterday as the success of one party over another—
far from It—but as another eviaence of the ability of
the American people to govern themselves, and to
maintain popular institutions on this continent.
For the Bret time In the history of mankind, a na
tion was called upon to express its will, through the
forms of a popular election, in regard, to the con
duct of a civil war, and assuredly there was some
thing sublime in the calmness and determination
with which it resolved to bear the heavy burdens of
the aisle rather than surrender the principle of its
institutions. In the face of an administrative man
agement that many did not like, in the face of seve
ral hears , conscriptions of troops, in the face of an
accumulating debt and a severe taxation, and
against all the machinations of enemies abroad,
who sweep the seas with their corsairs, the people
have said : Let the war go on until the supremacy
of the Constitution and laws shall be completely_
vindicated."
This, too, is its nobler appeal to loyal men of all ,
parties, to endeavor to unite those great energies
by the division of which only the rebellion can hope
to triumph
"If General McClellan had been successful in
this political contest, we should have taken him at his
word as a Union man, and lent a ready support to his
every measure looking towards a confirmation of our
national uniiy. We should have endeavored -to
- strengthen his arms against that faction of his
Reams who are looking in another direction. We
shall now expect as much from his friends in regard
to Air. Lincoln. Let us have no more of these
miserable party disputes—of this most miserable party
spirit. Our country demands our united efforts. Let
us join, then, in the determination to prosecu te the
war with all our energies, and by every military
means In our possession. But in order to show that
our atm is not war but peace, let us, with every re
newed effort of our arms, stretch forth new over
tures of reconstruction to the misguided multitudes,
of the South who are following the ignis fatuus of
secession into thicker darkness and deeper bogs of
misery and ruin."
The Express did not display any great sagacity, in
1860, when it predicted that rebellion would follow
Mr. Lincoln's election, for had not the slaveholders
thrown down this defiance to the people of the
North 1 "If you dere to elect a man who will not
obey our will, we will destroy the Union." Mr.
Lincoln was elected then, on a constitutional plat
form, because a tree peoplp would not be treated
like curs ; he is reelected now for reasons equally
good. The Express is not less partisan since the
election. But one of its prophecies, the sixth in the
• catalogue, Is really and entirely true
" We 'are not among those who intend to ignore
the great facts connected with Mr. Lincoln's re
election. We comprehended to what his election
would lead four years ago, and all through August,
September, and October, 1860, predicted that se
cession, disunion, and civil war would be the conse
quences of that result, upon the platform of princi
ples laid down, and the nominees selected by the
Convention held at Chicago in 1860. The Express
did not then deceive its readers nor the public, and
will not do so no'w. Painful as is the confession of
defeat, and the acknowledgment of the second vic
tory of the Republican party, it Is due to the truth
to make it. Mr. incoln's success on the Bth of
November, 1864, means, then, the accomplishment
of the following results :
let. The prolongation of, the war.
2d. The abrogation of State rights.
3d. The continuation of arbitrary arrests.
4th. The increase of debt and taxes.
sth. The continued confiscation of Southern pro
perty.
oth. The abolition of slaveryin all the States.
7th. Continued war upon the Union as it was and
the Constitution as it is.
Bth. The support of the President in all assump
tions of power.
9th. The exercise of martial law in States not in
rebellion.
10th. The presence of the Federal military to con
trol State elections.
11th. The abandonment of the Monroe doctrine.
12th. The denial of justice in oases of false im
prisonment and arrests.
13th. The administration of test oaths, as in
Maryland and Tennessee, by military officers of the
Administration.
14th. The keeping up of the prices of goods In
store; thousands having voted for Mr. Lincoln in
order not to depreciate the value of property on
hand. Prices, therefore, are to be kept up and in.
creased,""
The Commercial Advertiser , commenting on the
sublime spectacle of the people, in the midst 'ol'oll7ll
war, "casting their ballots for the future ruler . of
30,000,000 of people without the slightest disturb
ance or disorder," finds in it proof of the strength
of republican institutions :
"Some persons may claim that this was due to
the fact that ample preparations had been made
by the authorities to repress any disturbance,
but we think that little or no weight ought to
be attributed to- this fact. The election was
peaceable and orderly, mainly becautte both
parties were convinced that the greatest injury
that could occur to them would be to prove that
they had been the first to resort to violence on
this occasion. What is this but a recognition
that the people will :sustain order, and
that any party perpetrating a wrong , is sure
to be the loser by the act 1 In Europe order would
have been maintained by an ostentatious display of
civil and military force. Here whatever force was
at band was hidden from sight, its display being very
properly considered an insult to the people,who have
Italy proved themselves worthy of the eleotive
franchise. Let us hear no more of the failure of
republican institutions. The past four years
prove.them to be a complete success. Whatever
evils have accompanied them are the consequences
of the improper manner in which they have
been administered, and not of the principles
on which they aro based. They have been shown to
he stronger than any despotism under the very dr
.:umitances under which they were expected to
Prove weakest—in the midst of war, and that the
most trying of all wars, a civil one. No Govern
ment could have carried on the terrible contest of
, he past four years that was not sustained by a peo
ple who felt and anted on the - coniriotion that the
struggle was theirs and not that of the Administra- •
lon or the Government. Europe has now received
1 new lesson she !ill not 000 n forget."

TINE PLOT IN CANADA.
THB .lIRDEL PLAN TO SINK THE STEAMER MICHI
OAK AND Malmo. THE JOHNSON'S ISLAND PRI
SONERS. • • .
The Buffalo Express of Monday says :
•
"On Saturday. afternoon Mayor Fargo receized
...information from a private source, which he (Ansi
. dared wholly trustworthy, that a plot had been con
-coated by the traitorous refugees in Canada to sink
the revenue cutter Michigan, now stationed at San
dusky and release the prisoners confined on John.;
• :Eon's Island. The exact source of this important
'disclosure we do not feel at liberty to name , but the
facts are substantially as tondos
James Bates, a Southern refugee; purchased of the
firm of A. M. Smith & Co., of Toronto, the propeller
Georgian, representing that she was to be employed
• in the Saginaw lumber trade. It, is proper to state
that Smith & Co. are gentlemen of high standing as
business men, friendly towards us, and were entirely
Ignorant of the use to which she was to be put. The
. Georgian was delivered to Bates at Port Colborne
on the Ist instant, and the purchase money, $16,000
112.0anada funds, paid. Mayor Fargo was informed
that her engineer told Bates that the wheel was out
':_of 'eider, and it would be necessary either to go to
4 1Telfolatopr this port for repairs. It was not stated
'•thatr.. the Aid come here, but an inspection of the
books atlthe collector's office showed that she re
pented here on the -3d, without 'cargo, and cleared
the ealce'day for Port Colborne. It was also as.
s .certained that the wheel was repaired by F. N.
Jones.
despatch from this city to a hotel-keeper at Port
• Colborne, dated the 2d, and signed by Bates, re.
.questing h i ft if there were any passengers at his
• house for the propeller Georgian to have them
.wait, was handed to the mayor - by the operator who
sent it. •
Bates said that he proposed to strengthen - the
bows of the propellor so chat she could be used as a
ram against the Michigan; deaared he had suffi
cient men for the purpose, and also intimated that
he was supplied with arms and ammunition. lie
bad in his possession a very large and accurate map
of the harbor of Sandusky, on which was marked
the location of the Michigan, and the batteries. He
was particularly anxious to ascertain whether ho
would be compelled to open the hatches of his ves•
Eel in passing through the Welland Canal, if a de
mand was made upon him to do so.
Mayor Fargo at owe telegraphed the startling
information he bad received to Capt. Carter, of the
Michigan, and to the lake ports as far West as De
troit. He also consulted with a number of our dock
merchants. Capt. Dobbins telegraphed to his agent
at Port Colborne, asking whether the Georgian was
there, and if not ' at what time she left, and for what
risco, but he did not give an intimation as to the ob
'ject of the telegram. The reply was that the
Georgian lest for Sarnia at 6 o'clock on Saturday
evening, after taking on board thirty cords of wood.
'The agent also added, ~T here was nothing par
tioularly suspicious about her," but that the Pacific
Was to leave the next morning, and would inquire
about her as she passed up. This proves conclu
sively that doubts as to her mission were entertained
by. citizens of Port Colborne.
Any attemptoto ship at any ono port a sufficient
number of men and the Munitions necessary for the
accomplishment of the piratical raid, would un
doubtedly have attracted the attention of the Cana
dian authorities, and resulted in the seizure of the
boat. It is probable, therefore, that Bates stopped
at out of-the-way places on his way up, and plotted
up his fellow-cutthroats In small squads, after which
she took on wood enough to last' tor:•quite a - cruise.
His scheme, although a desperate one, might have
succeeded, and it is to be hoped that he did not re
ceive information of its discovery before attempting
its completion. The Michigan is now ready to
make lumber of his vessel to be used as coffins for
himself and crew, in case they do not disappoint the
hangman by being either shot or drowned.
John Allen,Captain Dobbins, and others, sent
out a tug on Saturday night to patrol the bay,'
and Rive warning by rocket signals of the approach
of any suspicions craft. Proper precautions will be I
continued.
TEE "DIOTATOE "-A NOTE FROM oAyr Aar
EniCseOri.—Reports have been published within the
past few days to the effect that the Diotator, now
preparing, for sea at New York, had caused great
anxiety to the Government, on account of her great
draft of water, and that, with her coal and ordnance
stores on board, her deoks would be even with the
surface of the water. The idea involved in these
statements was that the vessel had turned out a
failure. Captain Ericsson, however, in the following
telegraphic communication, coireot.s this false as•
sumption :
Naw Your, Nov. 2, MC
To the Edifyr of the Boston Jour nal:
In reply to inquiries made by citizens of Boston, I
,beg to state that the Dictator is thirty-one inches out
or water at the stern, and forty-three inches out of
. water at the bow this mer olzW• She - must be brought
eight inches deeper in order to be in proper fighting
&rm.
There are six hundred tons of coal on board, also
two-thirds of the stores, and nearly half the vessel's
complement of shot. The capeolty of her bunkers
is eight hundred tons, as intended, and her draft is
half an inch less than the estimate.
The engines make Anvil/to turns with the throttle
one.quarter open.
Nothing has occurred to indicate that the Dictator
will disappoint the expeetation of the Navy De
partment. ERICSSON.

The Tallahassee Chased by n Bolted
States Steamer-111er Probable Calk"
Nan• Yours, Nov. 9.—The steamer Arago has ar
rived with Hilton Head advicea of the 9th inst. She
reports that on last Monday morning, being in oom
pany with the United States steamer Huntsville,
they sighted a suspicious steamer, and both gave
chase, the stranger crowding on all steam and sail.
The Huntsville . 00mmenced firing, which we re•
plied to, this firing being kept up in a desultory
manner for two hours, when the Banshee joined in
the * chase, thus hemming in the pirate—both par-.
sued and pursuing vessels nearing the land very
fast, te.the eastward of Cape Lookout.
At 3.30 P. M., the land being in full view, and the
pirate being evidently hemmed in by the fast ves
sels after her, the Arago kept on her course for New
York.
Purser Ely, of the Arago, has no doubt it was the,
pirate Tallahassee, as she had guns of long range,
and was, unquestionably, captured or sunk before
sunset—they all
.being less than ten miles from
land.

New Yonir, Nov. 9.—The steamer Caroline, from

another steamer lying alongside. She supposed
„they, were privateers, and kept on her course.
- Defeat of an Expedition in Florida.
New YORK, Nov. o.—By the steamer Arago we
have received the Palmt..tto Herald of the 3d inst.,
which says that an expedition under Lieut. Col.
Marple, with a mounted force commanded by
Major Keith,' of the 4th Massachusetts Cavalry, on
the 31st of October went from Magnolia, Florida,
and secured about 200 head of cattle. On the re.
turn they were attacked, ten miles from Camp.
Our force was defeated after a fight of an hour.
Our loss was two killed and five wounded. Two
commissioned officers and 25 privates are missing,
also 25 horses. Some of the missing men have
come in.
Another Railroad Accident.
Hevns'Ds•Guaos, Nov. o,—An unfortunate rail
road accident occurred at Perryville last night.
The through freight train from Philadelphia, owing
to the engineer on the train approaching the steam
ferry-boat at too high a rate of speed, collided with
the engine and four cars which were standing on
the steamer, precipitating both engines and seven
oars into the river, among which were three loaded
cars of-the Adams Express Company. No lives are
known to be lost. No detention to travel will ensue
if the tides keep ordinarily full to allow the boat to
pass over the obstructions. The engines were now
and very valuable, one of them the heaviest used
on the road.

OP MONEY STOLEN ON MOSEBY'S M LEYLAND
Banmixona, Nov. 9.—lt will be recollected that
on the 14th of October a passenger train from Bal
timore to Wheeling was destroyed by a-gang of
Mosetrernien, and two paymasters of the United
States army, one of whom was Major Ruggles,
were robbed, of more than two hundred thousand
dollars.
Itis gratifying to state that several parties con
nected with hlosebrs command have bed arrested
and a part of the money recovered.
On the 2d instant Adjutant William B. Norman,
of the Bth Maryland Regiment, arrested at the
Eutaw House, where he Is stopping for the present,
Mary Ann Kline, her son; Dr. John H. Kline, and
her niece, Miss Natoy G. O'Brien. The two first'
named are residents of Loudon county, Va., and the
latter of Duffield's Station, Jefferson county, Va.
They were arrested on the charge of being concern
ed in the outrage. Upon the person of Dri Kline
Was found the sum of $1,662.80, which was handed
to Col. Wooley, provost marshal. He sot about in.
vestigating the case. Of the money about $330 was
in postal currency, which had been put up in pack
ages by a Government clerk In Washington. Col.
Wooley proceeded to that city, and the olerk iden

Ruggles. Dr. Kline acknowledged, upon examina
tion before Col. Wooley, that he had borrowed the
sum of $l,BOO from two of Moseby's men. Mrs.
Kline claims that $260 of the sum belongs to her;
*but she also confessed that she received $175 from
two mon of the same party.
The Klines have three relatives who are in the
service of the villainous Moseby, and COI. Wooley,
in his report of the case to General Wallace, says
"It is .not clear that Kline 18 not an officer in the
rebel army ; indeed, all the facts of the case are of
most suspicious character. In the month of August,
1861, Kline was a surgeon. In May, 1862, he was
within the Federal lines, endeavoring to find his
command, when he was arrested, but pardoned by
order of the War Department. He had in his pos
session a - safe-guard signed by the provost marshal
of General Sheridan." -
All three were yesterday committed to jail to await

Evidence was adduced on Muller's trial to show
that he called at a house of ill-fame, some miles

FURTHER PARTICULARS OP THE CAPTURE OP THE
The Boston Traveller of Tuesday evening says:
We have been enabled to obtain some additional
details in regard Loathe capture of the pirate Flo
rida, in the port of Bahia, by the Wachusett. This
morning Capt. Winslow. of the Kearsarge, in com
pany with his son, called upon Admiral Stringham
at the navy yard. The Admiral received him in
the most cordial manner and warmly congratulated
him on his gallant achievement in capturing the
notorious Alabama. Capt. Winslow had hardly
entered.into conversation before the navy yard bat
tery gave a thundering welcome, which was duly
replied to from the Kearsarge.
As heretofore stated, the capture of the Florida
was effected at 3 o'clock on the morning of the 7th
of October, in the harbor of Bahia, and close up to
the city. The surprise was the most complete ima
ginable. The officers of the rebel craft seemed to
entertain no fear of danger from the Wachusett,
ar d everything about the ship was as still and silent
as on board a merchantman. -
Captain Collins aimed to strike the Florida amid
ships, but bit her on the quarter. Unprepared as
they were, the officer in command of the Florida
had no alternative but surrender. In the excite
ment of the occasion, some pistols were discharged,
and two guns accidentally fired from the Wachusett.
They may have struck somewhere in the city,as the
Brazilian Admiral came alongside and ordered
them to desist firing. Three men of the Wachusett
were slightly wounded, prbably accidentally, as the
prisoners from the Florida declare that not a shot
was fired by them.
They
,also_ say that Capt. Morris, their com
mander, was on board the Florida when the Wa
ohusett attacked her, and that) he jumped into a
dingy lying alongside, and escaped to the shore,
which was only two hundred yards off.
Half an hour after the capture of the Florida the
Wachusett started out to sea with her. When the
day broke Capt. Collins saw a side-wheel steamer
towing a Brazilian mataof-war out of Bahia, but he
put on all sail and a full head of steam, and was
soon out of sight and the chance of interruption,
The Florida is a well-built vessel, of about six
hundred tons, but she is little over half the size,
and not half the strength of the Alabama. The
Kearsarge has spent some time in cruising after
her, and had she gone down on the eastern aide of
the Atlantic, instead of beating-up against the trade
winds, she would have 'intercepted the pirate and
captured her,
which would have been a very pretty
sequel to the Alabama affair.
The officers of the Kearsarge were treated with
the highest consideration in the French and Eng
lish ports which they visited after their victory
over Semmes. Whenever the Kearsarge went into
Dover the 78th Highlanders used to gather on the
hill and receive the ship with hearty cheers. At
Dover, Hastings, Folkestone, in England, Boulogne,
Ostend, and Cherbourg, thousands of people visited
her.
Many distinguished naval officers of both cowl-
Wee came on board and inspected with great atten
tion the armament and general arrangements of
the ship. The English officers confess the Arm.
strong guns a failure, and say they do not at ail meet
the requirements of the service. The Government
will throw them aside as quietly and quickly as pos
sible, distinguished others intheir place. In France
a dozen painters made sketches of the
right, and the Emperor sent his own marine painter
down to make a perfect picture of the engagement.
The prisoners on board the Kearsarge will be
transferred to Fort Warren. Two officers of the
Alabama,
.the chief engineer, Freeman, and the
boatswain, are among them. The former is a
Welshman, but was formerly in Our navy ; the boat
swain is a Philadelphian.
Captain Winslow speaks of the crew of the Ala
bama as the finest body of men he ever saw, being
picked men and of splendid physical appearance.
The Ilearsarge proved much faster than the
vaunted-Alabama, and she is undoubtedly one of
the best vessels of her class In the service. On hor
way here from St. Thomas her average - speed was
about twelve knots an hour—remarkably good speed
when it is remembered the long time she had been
on active duty, and the rough weather she has en
countered, beside her sharp conflict with the Ala
bama.
She now carries in her frudder.post a 120-pound
shell, which Captain Winslow. was afraid to re
move from fear of an explosion: Her transom and
stern is much shattered, and ahe will require some
time for thorough repairs.
The Reemerge, in her cruising, learned some
- thing about the Tallahassee, which made her ex
perimental trial in sight of the Bearsarge, before
she had been converted into a piratical rover. she
. is about five hundred tons, and very fast, and a bet
ter ship than has been generally represented.
A few words about apt. Winslow may not be
uninteregling. He is of, perhaps, less than the
medium - 11 - eight, with a moat frank and agreeable
manner;and evidently a gentleman of culture and
fine education. The tact that he won the esteem,
if not the symp athies , _ of the friends of secession in
England and" France, will surprise no one who is
acquainted with his manly character. Our Govern
ment could not have sent an officer abroad more
capable of sustaining the dignity of our navy with
honor and credit.
THE Paris correspondent of the London Times,
writing under date of the 28th ult., says : A. very
interesting operation, which attracted a great num
ber of spectators, was performed on Thursday at
. St. Ouen, near Paris. A large floating dock on a
new construction-210 feet long, 36 feet wide, and
18 feet high—was launched on the canal. This great
iron boat or floating dock is intended for a store to
hold all descriptions of spirits, oils, or other inflam
mable liquids. These substances, which are so
frequently the cause of disastrous fires on land, are
now to be secured on water, where they will be com
paratively safe from. fire. Each of the 100 compart
ments into which the iron boat is divided is sufficient
to contain 250 hecolitres. Ten similar floating
warehouses are to be built for the company Of the.
docks of St. Onen, of which five are alreadY on the
stocks. The iron boat was launched sideways into.
the canal of St. Onen. After having - glided along
the slides placed under it, the iron mass, once in. the
water, moved forward more than forty yards by the
force of impulsion. The operation- was performed
with complete success.

English Court Gossip.
From the London'Star. Oct. 25 1
The pages of Punch are among the lasi from
which ono would hope to gleam a paragraph of gos
sip. But yet there is one member of that mystic
brotherhood who constitute the staff at No. 84
Fleet street, who, from his disposition and social
position, is generally thoroughly well-informed
as to what is going on. To this gentleman we pro.
bably owe the information covertly given in last
week's number—covertly, we say, because the
writer founded his paragraph on a statement in a
weekly paper comparatively unknown, and grafted
thereon lila own information; the result of which 1.3
that what Mr. Thackeray delighted to call a,
R-y-l-p•ri-age," and which no one will have the
least difficulty in detecting as the Princess Mary of
Cambridge, is sought in marriage by a noble vis
count, whose army service entitles him to gallant
epithets. The lady—and the lady in question,
besides being a princess, is a lady ;,the terms are
not always synonymous—is agreeable, and all that
is 'disagreeable is that wretched piece of legisla
tion, the royal marriage act, which requires the
consent of the Sovereign to the union of a mem
ber of the royal family to a person not of royal
blood. This consent her present "Most Gra,-
dons " is not gracious enough to give ; and though
/Ur. Punch, with an amount of saccharine matter
which shows that he has not studied Mr. Banting's
pamphlet, expresses a hope that this will be forth
coming, yet the withholding of the royal approval
is evidently the hitch in the matter. Lot us hope
that it will be finally graciously and gracefully
yielded. In the whole Guelphic family, there is
no one more popular than the Princess Mary,
and the people of England would infinitely soonar
see her wedded to an English nobleman for whom
she cares, than to a German one whom she may
never have seen. As to the name of the gen
tleman, that is easily arrrived at. Our friend
Punch says : "All happiness to Viscount Cucullus."
Scraps of school-boy classic lore yet lingering in odd
garners of memory, remind us of the old proverb,
non
_Tacit monachum cucunua—the hood does not
make the monk—anti then looking into that peerage
which every well-regulated Briton keeps by him,
we find that Viscount Rood served in the Guards ;
and lo ! on the ingenious principle ascribed to the
first cooper of putting two and two together, the
whole mystery is solved.
LITERARY.
Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" does not find the
highest praise from the English reviewers. The
London Quarterly exhorts the poet "to produce
something of larger size and more massive sub
stance!" The British Quarterly thinks that such a
poem is desiderated as "the poem of the age," but
Aix. Tennyson, in the opinion of the reviewers, is
not the man to write It. Though confessing to a
great admiration of his fancy, and of his rich and
exquisitely polished diction, this critic is of opinion
that he is "a composer or verses rather than a poet;
a sweet echo of our world, not a voice singing to it
a glass in which we see his skilful reflection of the
men and women around him; but not that mirror of
imagination which, held up to nature, shows us her
purest and highest creations."
The last surviving son of the historian Roscoe
has died in England in his seventy-first year. He
was a physician.
The editor of Punch—Mr. Mark Lemon—has
sent threatening letters to Captain Burton, because
the latter allowed the following passage to appear
in his "Mission to the King of Dahomey." It 04-
curs in the first volume :
"I must briefly sketch the party. Mr. Bernasko
was accompanied by his son Tom, a small boy of
eleven, who already spoke half a dozen of the coast
dialects. There were two interpreters, on the Da
homan principle. The first was John Mark, popu
larly called aistrikl, cr aLidiki, the Han.to, a nomi
nal head of the English town Whydah. He is the
son of Mark Lemon, whom Commander Forbes de
scribes as a ' perfect! Dahoman, too big a fool to be
a rogue,' and in whom Mr. Vice Consul Fraser
found a very fair average of rascality."
A London paper says that novelists are some-
times sorely put to their wits' end for Christian
and surnames which shall in a measure be repro
sentative of their characters. A French writer.
who had once given pain to a worthy tradesman,
coined two outrageous names for certain indi
viduals described in his work, trusting that this
time no living being would find himself or herself
aggrieved by what. he had done. Bat he was dis
appointed. A week after his work appeared, let
ters reached him, begging that the names might be
altered, for they happened to be borne by people
who described themselves as among the most exam
platy and sensitive of his readers. In despair the
author is said to have thrown into his hat the letters
of the alphabet, taking the first eight as the name
cf his new hero, and the next seven which came to
hand as that of his heroine.
Banting's pamphlet on Corpulence is having
an immense sale in England. Already fifty-three
thousand copies have been disposed of, and it is
purchased at the book-stalls as "light," pleasant
reading, in preference to the creations of novelists
or tha narratives of travellers. The only, recent
work that oan at all compete with it in popularity is
Tennyson's recent volume of poems.
—A new edition of Robinson Crusoe, collated
from the original copy in the British Museum, is
published in London, by the Knights. It will in
elude a third part, or volume, omitted in all recent
editions, and called " Serious Reflections during
the Life and surprising Adventures of Robinson
Crusoe ; with his Vision of the Angelic World—
written by Himself." Of the authenticity of this
part of the work—whic h. was never popular—there
has always been much doubt.
