The Me . ssage of Jefferson Davis. The new message of the rebel chief is characteristic—apparently 'determined and independent in tone, plausible . in argument and policy, and of firm-set diction—just such a shadow of character as may justify the belief of his admirers that, though the South itself may yield, JEFFERSON DAYIg will be the - last Ito submit either to fate or to the United states. But for this .very reason we think the expression, like the ambition of its ruler, is cast much higher than the general spirit of the Southern peo ple. Those who studiously note the hard but polished language of Mr, DAVIS will probably detect counterfeit gloss- as well as bad metal. When he endeavors to slur Gen. SHERMAN 's military fame by men tioning him as the " General who marched from 'Vicksburg to Meridian,with no other result than having to march back again," he manifests a tinge of the ,flame bitterdettis with which he almost' curses the Yankee people in his prayer-manifesto for Thanks giving day ; but we know that he is in .something more than bad temper for the fall of Atlanta. SHERIDAN'S military suc cesses are also snubbed 'in the same way,- while his ravages in the Valley receive the_ usual lecture of " infamy" and " despera tion." GRANT, of course, receives the flood of opprobrium, and, after aggravated rheto ric and " enormous losses," is pronounced a failure. In the Southern view of indepen dence, and from Mr. - arils' own individual stand-point, the best language of his mes sage is that devoted to enforcing the ques tionable and extreme, but implacable • and obstinate, sentiment that even should Rich mond fall, and Wilmington,.' Charleston, Savannah, and Mobile follow it, the Con federacy will remain erect and defiant as ever. As long as JEFFERSON likvxs and the Southern Confederacy are synonymous terms, we see - no reason why he should not speak thus ; but as the "Confederate States" claim to be sovereign, we cannot perceive why they should always 'keep company with Mr. DAYia, unless he be so vereign also: We therefore think that, to a large degree, the arch-rebel speaks for limself, and that less than the half-dozen reverses named would type the end of the Confederacy. But we have most to, do with what Mr. DAVIS recommends regarding the enlist ment of the slaves. After a month's agi tation among - the more progressive class of the rebel war-writers, all that is ven tured so• far by the rebti President is a . -suggestion for the increase of the force of blacks in his army ; so that besides being employed as cooks, teamsters, and workers, , hired from their masters for transient ser vice, they may be used also for pioneer and engineer duty, the property in them being entirely acquired by Government, which promises them- freedom after dis charge—their number to be augthented to forty thousand. This subject, approached so delicately, is a careful advance-towards a more coniples. use of the slave material. The way is thus opened by what seems to the 'Northern mind an amusing dis tinction between the slave as person and - the slave as property. As a person, the duties required of Mtn toward the state demand " loyqifk .ssnd zeal;" length of service adds, 'greatly to the value of his labor.; 40 in -this way Mr. DAVIS endeavors'' to persuade the master to give MS • property to the State. Ile will not be , less ,a- slave when he becomes the prOp‘rty of the rebel Government, **and will doubtless have ,the same kind of officers' over him as those who governed Libby prison and Belle isle- The condition of the riegrcier*llia 'rebel army cannot but *lvo' even more un fortunate to them, asit may also prove to the Confederacy itself-,. :As the last 1131301 t, DAvls does not hesitate to' say that the slaves sliould be etriployed to defend : them- selves; in the alternative of subjugation; and reasons that this is justifiable, whilo the riming of slaves •liik the' United States. is iniquitous. He- ignores that the United States claim's far =more -sweeping right to persons . than ' Mr. JEFFszsort .DAVIS-11 Tight that involves Mr..Devis hhnself. We offer liberty to the :slave . the interest .freedom, and give him thaaboideof taking np arms. Xr...lyvls' plan Is thus far as consistent as possible with slavery ; • but, with all his pains to conceal it, his desireis plain to avail himself: of the negro as a sol dier. His new demand is a moderate one, but is justified by the late considerable vote in the rebel , Congress against the employ ment of slaves as soldiers.... . . • Gunther Illuminated. Any one who supposed that the stupid veto of the New York Mayor, GUNTHER, against illumination on, account of Union victories, would receive, no public eicpres; sion of approval whatever, -deserves the disappointment stored for him, in the letter Of CHARLES O'Coltoa, Professor Aroma, and other members of the society for dif fusing useful knowledge and Democratic documents.

But although even .Prib lessor MORSE has brought his elec,tricitylo . - vitalize and illuminate the dull veto of •Guivroult, he has only made wrong still, more wrong. The only portion of the eulo gium of Mr. GUNTHER which challen.ges: attention is the following : "One of the greatest merits of your veto message As, that it calls attention to a peculiarity connected with the pending contest which seems not to have been duly considered hitherto, or even tO have been, generally observed. " No renown can be acquired in a civil war between the tedious of a republic which, terminates in re moon.

Thus, every victory should make , us' groan, rather than cheer; we should forget Xll that is due to the saviours of the country, and we shOuld all conspire to forget ourselves. Mr. -0' CONOR argues shamelessly in the face of the impossible. We -cannot yield that our war is un righteous, that the Union -is not worth preserving, and neither can we for get the glorious sacrjfices, in its behalf. . We may leave the gianite in 'the quarry ; they are still monuments in themselves, which we could not erase * if we would, and would not if we could. Ro• V0,, , 1,111r0Cei1ie1...14 . iiiCa.a....... or: .me remem bered Okrp, after CATALr'NE fell ; America did nat. forget WASHINGTON, and even Eng land remembers him with pride. In every civirwax, where moral purpose has faith fully survived, the nation and posterity have proclaimed honor to its heroes. We can understand Mr. O'CoNon's peculiar logic, when we reflect that he 'does not believe in the victory of the North over the South, and yet thinks that we must settle the war by a negotiation which would leave both sides equal. This is not the purpose of the Union itself or the people of the Union, for in this battle there is in re ality no North; but simply an outraged unity. Were we , to bring it together mere ly on the terms of the Chicago platform, by recognizing the Confederacy first and taking JEFFERSON DAvIS into our embrace, then, Indeed, we had better forget in order to forgive. But in this war there must be victory for -one side or the other', and the American nation purposes that the South shall submit, and that slavery shall perish. While slavery remains, DAVIS, LICE, and. Stonewall JAcKsoli are hdroes that their countrymen will not consign to oblivion. In the disappearance of a' great form of crime much that seemed heroic will also disappear, and only military monuments, remain. The North, as well as the South, has admired Stonewall JACKSON—it' is not improper or impossible that the new and united nation should remember the monuments of its history. There is still another view which we take of Mr. O'CoNoit's lettes, giving fair allowance to the peculiar basis of the writer. In reunion, he admits it would be proper for all to rejoice. Why not rejoice, then, in the cause of the .Union ? Is not every victory a step nearer to the great object ? or does. Mr. O'Coxon imagine that with every success we gain we are further -off from the end ? Why, then, ground his con clusions on reunion, as he does in another part of his letter ? Belief in the virtue an magnanimity of the Northern people would have relieved all such people as Mr. O'CoN- On of a world - of false reasoning. We do not wish,to oppress the Southern people, but to &liver them. _Therefore, we do not believe that the time will come when the highest reward of our heroes will be oblivion. In such a day WOOD and GUN THER will be immortal The Testimony of the Churches against Slavery and the Rebellion. Under our benign form of government, happily, no such meretricious union exists as that' of Church and State.. They are wholly separate and apart. Hence, except' by the fats of the veriest demagogues, the Church, with us, can never ••be employed as a political engine, and then .only at the expense of her own cherished interests s and in utter viola tion of all existing forms of , government. The great questions of Sla very and the Rebellion, however, are not party issues. They involve moral issues of such transcendentmagnitude that no reli gionist, of any sect or shibboleth, can ignore them. Hence, the Churches throughout our land, .on these momentous themes, have not been 'dumb dogs"—have not strati fied themselves,by the observance of a cri minal silence, nor even sent forth any " uncertain .sound.!' We have on our table 'a collection of the resolves adopted by the ecclesiastical councils:of many of the Chuiches. ire • furnish a bird?s-eye view of them in alpha- _betical order : The -Baptiate, with more -than a madion of members, are almost to a man .cordial haters of treason and slavery. In the month of May, 1864, through their representatives assembled in this city, they pronounced the rebellion " causeless and inexcusable, a crime against civilization, humanity, free dom, and God, and without a parallel in the history of the world." The 46,000 Baptists of this city In like manner en dorsed the emancipation Troclamation, "without modification in substance or change in the time of its execution." One solitary preacher voted in the negative,- and he was commended to " a better read ing of his Master's message, and to broader views of pulpit ministration !" The Congregationalists, at a General As sociation -held in September, 186 cat Jer sey City, by a rising vote, unanimously re; solved that , they . would sustain with their: s ootes the noble men Who are:defending our: liberties withlheir dives; and that they would:' animate their felloW-citizens, by every con sideration of religious hope. and duty, to make thP deeision of the people . on the Bth of November, 1864, final and fatal alike to the hopes 'of traitors in armeand of con apirators in political council.. _ _ The .Putch Reformed ehurches have, on venous occasions, .adopted rePolutioni- not less decided and patriodc: The . • Dunkarda, a numerous sect, we 'all. know 'hate slavery with a cordial ha tred, and the rebellion not any leas t -. The Evangelists denounceit:lnn:a the house-tops as "the 'sum 4,o.l:villainies." The Episcopal (Protestant) Ohuibh,.at its Eightieth Annual COnvention'of the Did; cese of Pennsylvania, held, MaY 26, 1864, - at Pittsburg, composed of '196 cleilcatand*. 363 lay members, (559 in' ail;) with great unanimity vowed unceasing hmitility to slavery, and unfaltering allegiance to the Government in its efforts to crush out the rebellion.. The •protest of the Episcopal 'clergy. - againitt the. insane ratiocinations of .a• . the deluded:Hark:lm is familiar to us all. The German Reformed Church,, as a body, isloyal to the country, and hostile to slavery. The • Israelites, to their credit be it spoken do -AO all follow .BELicorr. Some of the • most Wive:dal 'babble 'are for Ltscorkt ' and we hive the names of not a few of the most respectable Israelites in this city who voted on Tnesday last for • the Union and Mr. Lincoln. It would be atiangellideed if a peoplo whose ancestors were Ipd by wonders and miracles out of bondage should all'be classed on the side of slaveholding and op pression. • The Lutheran Church bears noble tes timony. Her General. Synod,.highest in authority, convened at. Lancaster, May 6, 1802, unanimously denounced slavery and the rebellion as " most wicked in its ineeption, unjustifiable in its cause, unna tural in its character, inhuman in its prose cution, oppressive in its aims, and destruc tive in its results to the •best interests of morality and religion." This resolve was reiterated at York, in May, 1864, on a call of the ayes and noes.; not a vote in the nega- V ' The Moravian Church is not less loyal. Tater membership in North Carolina is, to this day, solid for - the 'Union, and to their great influence, among . other _causes, is it ()wine that that State is so " shaky " in its adhesion to the bogue Confederacy. The . Methodist Episcopal Church, repre s'enting in this country in her General Con , fi:rence nearly seven thousand ministers, • and nearly one Million of members, at its lasi.sessi s Oli, held in' this city, by a. vote of 2:08 resclyea, in effect, that slavery is ..ron il_vg_e - Dievir,;and the rebellion, too. Of conise,ln 1140 Church 'neither finds much favor. , 'The. Prig byteria n Churches (Old School and Ne 4) agree ,with . the Methodists. If there's any difference pt ell, only more-so. The Protestant gethodis Churches say "Ditto," with a pretty load "Amen:" The Itoman',., Catholic! . .Chnich has not ,forgotten hieing* ttAtions "against shive-holding,:.still remembers the eloquent apPea.et e Is l PsTmfm.., , azikia hie to ihe Patriotiet•exepple or the Right Bev. Bishops of Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Buffalo. The Unitarians, we all know, are in dead ly hostility to sl*ayery—vide the eloquent Cnerontra and our own gifted Fnnnnss. The Universalists have been doing yeo man's service in the good cause. Their preachers have been among the ablest advo cates of LINCOLN'S re-election. The Quakers—we all know what they think of slavery. They would hug it to death, if in their pow,er, so warm is their attachment to it, Their resolves were written long, long ago. We perceive, then, that every branch of the Christian Church North is arrayed in . principle against human.slavery, and is with the Gover7rwAt in its efforts to slip press the rebellion: Resignitlon. • There is one virtue which a defeated politician has a peculiar opportunity of exercising. It is called Resignation, and consists in making the best of a defeat, and not letting the world see how deep the disaster has sunk into the ."proud heart. General McCiarmax will no* have ample opportunity of exercising this virtue. He was told, and perhaps Was Weak enough to believe, that he would waken up on last Wednesday morning, and find himself President-elect. The reverse must have been hard to bear.. Not even the wholesale forgery of military votes, by New York• officials, with the one purpose of fraudu lently procuring the success of "tardy GEORGE," was able to elect him. We thank God for this, because the election of MCCLELLAN would have been a, great aid to " the so-called Southern Confederation," and an excuse to France and to England to acknowledge the revolted States. Mr. LutcoLli's re-election certainly does not leave any , pretext for outside interference, and it means the steady prosecution of the war, the winning peace by victory, and the re-establishment of the Union on a basis entirely at variance with slavery. There is' another species of Resignation - which General. MCCLELLAN is at liberty to exhibit, and, indeed, it has been ported that he had resolved to adopt it— that is, the resignation of his •military commission. • He would stand better be fore the world if he ceased to hold such a highly-paid sinecure as that of a Major General, whose sole duty is to draw his pay. It is unlikely. that General MoCLEr.- LAN will again ,hold milltag, command during the present war ; it is scarcelypos sible that he can expect it, yet it would seem that in whatever personal elements he differs from MARLBOROUGH, the great est European commander of the last cen tury, he is liable to be censured for resem bling him in his love of money. General McCi.nuart, it seems, has not resigned his military commission, but will continue to draw his pay, as usual. " True, 'tis a pity—pity 'tis, 'tis true." The Election. The majorities of sixteen. States are defi nitely tecordcd in favor of LINCOLN, and it is almost allowed that the returns from seven more will make the verdict of States as nearly unanimous as possible. But three States are known to be in favor of Gen. McCLELLAN—Delaware, Kentucky, and New Jersey—and in these the Union gains are great. The result thus far ascertained in our Own State enables us to claim for the Union a majority of at least 15,000, exclusive of - the soldiers' vote. We present many re turns from the field, showing that, although the vote polled is comparatively light, the majorityfor A. 8114,01 LINCOLN is an over whelming verdict of the army. This will doubtless increase the majority in Pennsyl vania t 0.25,000. Tun Bump SPEECH of President LIN COLN, htst evening, was one of the wisest and happiest of his life.

There was in addition an • immense concourn of spectators of both sexes in front of the ..Executive Mansion. The firing of a field-piece was .of frequent occurrence, adding to the excitement of the occasion. - The President appeared at an upper window, and, - when the cheers with which he was greeted had ceased, Spoke as follows : "It has long been a grave question whether any Government, not too strong for the liberties of Its people, can be strong enough to maintain its Inlet:. me in great emergencies. "On this point the present rebellion has brought our Republic to a severe test ; and a Presidential election, occurring in regular course during the re bellion, has added not a little to the strain. If the loyal people united were put to the utmost of their Strength by the rebellion, must they not fail when: divided and partially paralyzed by apolitical war among themselvead But the election was a neces sity. We oannot nave a free Government without • elections; and if the rebellion could force us to fore go or. postpone a national election, it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us. . " The strife of the election is but human nature - practically applied to the facts of the case. What has occurred in this case must ever recur in similar . Cases. Human nature will not, change.

[Cheers.] • "But the election, along with its incidental and undesirable strife, has 'done good too. It has monstrated that a people's Government can sustain a National election in the midst of a great civil war. [Renewed cheers.] Until' now it has not been pro ven to the world that this was a possibility. It shows, also, _how. sound and how strong we still are. It shows that, even among candidates of the same party, he eho is most devoted to the Union and most opposed to treason can receive most of the people's vote. [Applause.] It shows, also, to the extent yet unknown, that we have more men now than we had when the war began. Gold is good in its place, but living, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.

The three cheers were enthusiastically given, ac companied by musk, and the sound of cannon. RPREOR Or SECRETARY SEWARD The crowd. in part, proceeded to the residence of Secretary Seward, who, in the course of his re marks, said be came on the stage of action some years after the Revolutionary war, and used to hear his parents talk about the vast number of - Tories who were opposed to the war ; and what surprised him was that twenty-five or thirty years after the war there was not a Tory to be found in the United States. He could not exactly understand where they had gone to. [Laughter.] . During the war of 1812 the Federalists used -to carry the Intervening elections just as the Democrats carried the election in. New York In 1882 ; but when the war came to a 'close and ended in a victory we had the - era of - good feeling, and • froM that 'time till now we cannot find an old Fe. agralist. His judgment was that, when de all come together, and when the stars and stripes again wave over Richmond, in two or three years onwlll have to look mighty sharp to find a Seces• sionist or a rebel sympathizer. [Laughter and ap. planar ] After refuting the assertion that the war is a Wi t* he said : During 'the first year of the war the African slave trade in the United States was sup pressed d in the• second year negroes were brought ro.bersofdiers of freedom ; in the third year slavery Ais'abolished in the District of Columbia, and in 'the fourth slavery was abolished In Maryland.

OF THE Po'go- MAC, Nov. 9.—A flag of truce asked for by the enemy was granted yesterday morning to bury the bodies of those who wore killed in the attack on Saturday night near the centre. The enemy acknowledge a loss of two hundred killed and wounded. Our men secured about forty muskets, besides other trophies belonging to the rebels. Equally as many more are still on the ground be. tween the lines. General Mott issued a congratu latory order to the troops engaged in the affair for their gallant conduct. A meeting was held at headquarters of the 3d Division of the 3d Corps on the sth inst. Resolu tions expressive of regret at the loss of Major Gene ral Birnoy were passed, and a oopy of them ordered to be sent to his family.

The Pennsylvania regiments on duty on the picket line were generally re lieved the night previous to enable them to .vote, and it is believed that no one who desired to do eo was deprived of the privilege.

BALTIMORE; Nov. 10.—The following . has been re ceived from Fortress Monroe: "The gunboat Sassacus, which has been in search of the rebel privateer Tallahassee since the 4th Inst., arrived at Hampton Roads, Va., to-day, and report ed that she fell in with a suspicious steamer on the fith.inst., which was believed to be the Tallahassee. "Chase was immediately given and kept up until darkness sot in.and,put the steamer out of sight. On thefollowing morning (Sunday), she was again discovered about twelve miles ahead, and the chase was renewed and continued during the day. At one time the 'vessels were but five miles - part, when the stranger lightened ship, and kept steadily on her course until darkness again set in and rendered the pursuit useless. When lost sight of she was inside the lines of our blockading Reet off Wilmington, N. 0., and possibly she will be stopped." This- is probably the same vessel reported as having been chased on Monday, the 7th inst., by the Banshee and Huntsville.

He is constantly capturing our straggling parties, and such trains as happen from their smallness.to be left unguarded. His last exploit was a most daring one, and resulted in the cold-blooded murder of four Union soldiers. Accord ing to a correspondent writing from Winchester on the 7th inst., Captain Brewster, of the 17th Penn sylvania, his orderly, a man named Sowle, another soldier and a citizen, were .captured on Saturday last, near the village of Newtown; on the turnpike. They were on their way to the camp of the cavalry, at-Cedar Creek, and wore but a short distance ahead of one hundred cavalry escorting Gen. Tor bert. ,They had passed through the village, and when about half a mile beyond a Squad of ten or fif teen men, wearing blue overcoats, came into the road. Capt. Brewster told Sowle to ride on and see who they were. He rode up to the party, as direct ed, and asked to what regiment they belonged. No direct answer was given, but they questioned him closely, and asked him which way he was.going and who was behind him. He was satisfied they were rebels, from the fact that they had revolvers drawn •E t rier, - ; ,zcealed under the capes of their overcoats, but he had rlO OppOrtuniZ7 tc ComOltiuleatiF the fact, Capt. Brewster was thrown off his guard by seeing half a dozen mail carriers ahead-on. the pike r and therefore rode up to Sowle, when the rebels—ail they proved to be—under command of Lieut. Haste, closed In upon the party, presented their , revolvers, and told them to surrender, which they, of course, - did. At this time (len. Torbert's - escort was not 100 rode distant. The captives were hurried,behind' a bill not more than 26 rods frons the road, and'one of the rebel soldiers even rode upon the hill to see Ge- Aral Torbert pass. • The prisoners were searched upon the spot, and nearly everything in the shape of money and cloth ifig was taken from them. Captain Brewster had about $1,200 on his person, and .Sowle' about SN. Each of the other men, also, had some money abont them. Sowle concealed two bills in his shirt collar— he supposed one , was a twenty . and the other a ten dollar bill. When starting for the place of execu tion the following day a young miss, who had .fur 'Dished him with pen, ink ,- and a and paper to write few Parting words to hie family, stood near,' and he -gave her the $2O. He said he thought her very good-looking, arid believing that he would have no further use for , the money, gave it away. She thanked him for the money, and invited him to call, if he came that way again! They Were then marched to. Ashby's Gap, and .thence through the Gap to Reetortown, oa.the Manassas•GanHall. road. Soon after their arrival: here, Moseby came up with about seven hundred men. The ,prisoners, all teld, numbered twenty-seven. They had been brought in from different points., They were . ordered to fall in line, two deep, in front of an old school house. F.lve of the prisoners were citizens, 'fear. newsboys, and Captain Brewster's brother, and these were liberated and told to stand aside, leaving twenty-two in Hne. Moseby's major then said there were seven men out of the twenty-two to be hanged for the seven men executed by General Custer, near Front Royal, and that the sefection would be made by lot. Tvrenty-two pieces of paper were placed in a bat, seven of them being marked, and the others blanks. The hat' was passed along the line, and those who drew prizes gave their names, and step ped one side in charge of a, Lieutenant Late, who was detailed to conduct them forthwith to the place of execution.

The drawers of the first and third prizes, a lieutenant in the sth New York Heavy Artillery, and - private Frank' Hooker, of the 4 sth Michigan Cavalry, having befriended a rebel family in the vi chitty, were set free, and privatesAarvin and Ben eett,+ of the -2d New York Cavalry, substituted for them. The •death roll then read thus: ., Charles E. Marvin, 2d New York Cavalry, corporal and acting commissary sergeant; Corporal James Bennett, 2d New York Cavalry; George H.

Smith having been detailed to murder the party, was direcied to awry the sentence into effect, on Sunday, one half mile west of Berryville, on , the pike leading to - Win-'• cheater, where the bodies of the men would be dis covered by our troops. There was a little rain fall ing, the night (Sunday night) was dark, and as the .prlsonera marched/ along tied to a rope, each end beld by two horsemen, one before and cue behind them, there man no chance 'of escape.

'angto the limb of a tree, and ilia tber.thrse beg- ging to:be shot, their request was granted. One of them, Bennett, was shot through the head, and In stantly killed. Marvin had a revolver snapped at his temple. No explosion . following, Marvin, who is a powerful man, quiek as thought knocked hie would.be murderer down, and, running for his life, reached a piece of woods, where his pursuers strove in vain to find him. He, with Sowte, entered Win chester on Monday morning, through the kindness of two Union citizens. Hoffuagle was shot through the elbow, but had the good sense to fall, and pre tend to be dead. After he was shot, the rebel lieu tenantwalked up to - him, and kioking him to dis cover whether life remained, was satisfied that it did not, remarking, in answer to a question from one of his men, "Oh, yes, he is dead." He was not, however, and when the rebels had retired, walked to a house near by, where ho was well treated, and afterwards sent to Winchester. These men all • desdribe Moseby as a pompous man, greatly desir ous of the life of General Custer, against whom he entsrtains a special hate. His men are nearly all young and mounted on splendid horses .

We have great reason to congratulate ourselves upon the significant quiet of the election day and evening, which passed without the brawls and bat terings usually attendant upon , politioal contests waged in this metropolis. The police reports yes terday were singularly dull ; the cells held but few of the, unterrified. In the Eleventh ward an officer was slightly wounded by a pistol shot while elides voripi to arrest an illegal voter; and, in one in stant* a soldier who had voted for Mr. Lincoln was seriously threatened by a crowd of intoxicated. vaga binsda ; beyond these omit/neves, however, the his tory of .the - election, so fat as New York was eon corned,' exhibited but few of the usual features of brutal violence and menace. .fThis state of things was simply owing to the pre• sence of General Butler, and the tacit understand.' lag that tire and steel would suppress any attempt at a Copperhead insurrection. In acknowledgment of this Indubitable fact, a public testimonialls to be offered him by our citizens. A few of the more riot ously inclined, during Tuesday afternoon, precipi tated themselves upon Jersey City and drove the tibia voters from some of the polls ;'but withitiltat ler's jurisdiction they dared not raise a finger. Du ring Hat night there was but little excitement, save about the newspaper offices where the returns were bulletined. It was a foregone conclusion that Mr. Lincoln would be re-elected ; also, that this city would go heavily Democratic ; Governor Seymour'S "dry-good boxes" being brought into play, and the • "Unterrified having strained every nerve to secure that result as the last hope of their party. The Union headquarters were kept.open until a late hour awaiting news. Tammany Hall was also In a blaze, and here, be It remarked, the old-fash ioned system was adhered to. A speech of the most rattly character was made by one of the" war horses," in which a prominent Union man was referred to in terms most indecent and opprobrious, and the assem bled wisdom sat by enjoying each illusion with infi nite relish. The old-fashioned system, certainly ; for upon every such occasion there are one or two of the "war horses" who blurt out speeches of which a stable-boy would be ashamed. . . . In Jersey City, loyalty Was fully aroused f and the Union men fought nobly for the cause. In the Fifth ward the polls were captured by, the loYers of "purity of election," and the boxes crammed to suit themselves ;la other sections of-the city, however, the Unionists were comparatively unmolested. A* young man, named Magee, who was stabbed almost to death by a Copperhead, a few days ago,ln answer to a shout which ho gave for Lincoln . and Johnson, caused himself to be carried to the polls, and there 'deposited his vote for the Union: From this incl. dent may be gleaned the spirit which animated the men of this section of prim ,T 91107, • [By Telegraph.] TIM GOLD ISARICRT. • Gold opened at 2463, advanced to 254,'501d at the board at 25334, and is now 'selling at 252.

The King of Dahomey and his Skull . - CFrkm Burtin's' Mission to the King of Dahomey: 9 3, The only other peculiarity in the court was a row of three large calabashes, ranged on the ground be fore and a little to the left of royalty. They contain the calvarix.of the three chief among forty kings or petty headmen, said to= have been destroyed by Gelele, and they are rarely absent from the royal levees. A European would imagine these relics to be treated with mockery, whereas the contrary is the case. So the King Simmenkpen (Adahoon• son II.), after unwrapping an enemy's cra nium, said to Mr. Norris, "if I should fall into -hostile hands, I should , wish to 'be treated with that decency of which I set the, exam ple." The • first skull was that of Akia 9 on, chief of Attako (Taceow), near "Porto Novo,' } which was destroyed'about three years ago.' Beau tifully white and - polished, it is mounted in a ship or galley of thin brass about a foot long, with two masts, and jibboom, rattlings, anchorooknd four portholes on each side, one pair being in the raised quarter. deck. When King Gezo died, his successor received a-message from this chief that all men were now trulyjoyful; that the sea had dried up, and that the world had seen the bottom of Dahome. Gelele rejoined by slaying him, and by mounting his skull in a ship, meaning that there is still water enough to float the kingdom, and that if the father is dead the Eon is alive. • The second cranium, which also was well:boiled, and which, like the rest, wanted the lowerjaw,\viaa that of Bakoko of Ishagga. It was crossed at right angles by four bars of bright brass. A thin mask of the same metal, rudely marked with eyes and nit raised nose, gaveit a monkey-like appearance. Oh the poll, and where the bars met, was a brags bowl • with a tip like a, calabash stalk, by which the upper half could be raised, to serve as a drinking cap. This, when viewed in front, looked somewhat like a Phrygian cap, or a knightly helmet.. During Ge lell's attack upon Abbeokuta, in 1861, the people of Isha gga behaved with consummate treachery,which, eleven years afterwards, was terribly punished by . the presentruler. Bakoko was put to death, and, as a sign that he ought to have 'given water to a 4 friend in affliction, men now drink from his recre ant head. The third calvarla, also washed, was that of Made, an Abbeokutan general, sent to the - aid of the Ishaggits. Along the ridge crown of the head ran a broad leaf In brass, to which was attached a thick copper wire and a chain, which can ratee It from its base. The latter is an Imitation in brass of a country trap, whilst a small .whitefag and cloth are wound round the stout wire. This showed that Flail° fell into the pit which ho dug for another. . . . . . . ORANG/10017NTY 1 _.1.1. J.—The New York Tribune sass %The home of McClellan has given a majority against him.

This'morning, as the early train of passengers crossed the river at the Hoboken ferry, the people amused themselves In cheering lustily for Lincoln, and united in singing "Ame• rice," "The Starspangledltanner,"and "Old John Brown" song, which latter they kept up all the way Into the slip on the New York Bide. The Unionists of New Jersey are very jubilant over the election returns, and feel confident that they have carried the State for Lincoln. , • .A:•LETTER PROM JUDGE WOODWAnn—A. FALSR ,Pisopravr.—The Democratic citizens of -Brooklyn .apsembled in large numbers, on Tuesds.y night, to .bear, cheer,' and growl over the election returns. Their entertainment was varied with speeches and letters from politicians. Among the letters was one from Judge Woodward, of this State, written two days before the election. The pith of it is contained in the following extract, being quite a remarkable prophecy, that—didn't oome to pass : In all my intercourse with citizens, in every part of this State, I have improved every opportunity to urge the election of McClellan and' Pendleton as the last hope and refuge of our suffering - country. The best I could do was to point them to their own conscious existenceunder former Administrations in contrast with the present; to a united, prosperous country in contrast with the- bloody discord that rends and ruins us now. lam happy to believe that the popular mind has .grasped the great truth that the men who have brought desolation upon us mast be turned out of public trust, and that Tuesday next wiliprecord the popular judgment against the. Ad ministration. "The people of Pennsylvania, by at least rwenty-five thousand majority, are for the Democratic , ticket!! We mean to go what we can to have a fair ballot, and, if we are not cheated out of it in too many localities, the debt oral vote of this State will as certainly be cast for McClellan and Pendleton as that Tuesday's sun shall rise and set / SPBECH OF GENERAL Hoon.—A large crowd, with a band of music, appeared before 'General Hood's headquarters, the Baptist Church, and. called him out. The General looked - very well. Ho said lie congratulated ps on the prospects before us. He. said our advattages are better now than during the old campaign in Georgia.

Gentlemen, I had the honor of all dressing yon two or three weeks ago in this hall, not without anxiety as to what might be the result. of .this great appeal to the people—but an anxiety, - . I must say, overborne by confidence and hope. 'But,. gentlemen, I must confess. I did not expect that you would prononace this with such emphasis, with such an approach to unanimity. [Applause ] Gentlemen, I donsider this election as.the most Important, the most momentous which has ever been decided by the - people. It was not to carry this or that man for this or that office—not to cleat or reelect this or that'candidate ; but, in my sober bjudgment and after the best reflection which I have een able to give,' meditating upoathe subject for years and years—after the beet consideration that I have been able to give it—we were called upon this day throughout the United States to decide whether they should be the United States any longer [ap plause.;] whether this great Republic should remain one and Indivisible, an example to the nations of the earth, and prove that man is not incapable of self _government, or whether it should go down in sordid ruins, the despair of the friends of liberty through out the world, the jpy alone of despots and of ty rants. [Cries of " Good!" and applause.] That question, my friends, as far as depends on yea, has been settled this day, and, rdoubt not, in full accordance with you, will have been settled by the -people of the United States. I rejoice, too, my friends, in another agreeable incident of the day. - I rejoice that Captain Winslow has ar rived here after this glorious success, and has brought - us the news that another of those pests of the ocean is safe at the bottom of the sea. [Cheers.] I could wish, as the gentleman who preceded intS Said, that .Captain Winslow was here with us. It is my satisfaction to know that the first thing that he did when he set his foot upon the shores of his native land was to go and vote to sup port the Government of his country. [Tremendous cheers.] My friends,. I did not think, when the committee did me the honor to wait upon me, that it was physically in my power to speak to you as many , words as I have done on this occasion. I hope, therefore, you will pardon me if. I cut short my ad dress, and again exchange with you. the most heart felt congratulations on the vote which Boston and Massachusetts have given this day. [Three cheers were given for Mr. Everett.] Electoral Votes Mr. Sunnier spoke briefly, pronouncing the result of the electicin a great victory. There were, he said, two things to trb celebrated which rarely came to gether—a funeral and a birth. The funeral was tiat of the Democratic party, now , buried where it could never be reached again. Loathsome and putrid from corruption, It had been a nuisance while it was above ground, and was now to be hurried out of sight that its stench might no long er continue to annoy the world. The Demo erotic party had ceased to be loyal. It was ne longer patriotic. It had given its sympathies to the rebellion so completely that it had become the Northern wing of the rebel army. A party that ceased to be patriotic must necessarily cease to exist in a country which bad not made up its mind to cease to exist. There was no parallel to the shame, of its course, or its baseness, as It day by day renounced all its obligations to the coun try. Such was now the fate of that famous-Dorno °ratio party which bad exercised such an infinence over this country. But as if to complete its degree dation, and to give additional- reason for Its pro sent per entombment, It did not die, he said, without the petration of which of themselvai would justify the taki fraudsng of Its life. this Democrati c he thought of the efforts ofparty by fraudulent votes to rob the soldiers of the elec tive franeldse, when they were facing the enemies of the Republic, ho knew of no language sufficiently strong to describe the execrable, loathsome ohs reciter of the transaction ; but if people would know in what it had its origin, he could tell them that it was in slavery. Men who were willing to enslave human beings would cheat soldiers. And, therefore, be said that the Democratic party. in this its last dying hour. had got new reason for Its extinction, in that it bad been completely overcome by that insen sibility to right which was the attribute of slavery, and it should no longer exist. When the head of a cer tain British monarch dropped upon the block, the executioner, taking it up, held it up before the people, and Said, " This is the head of a traitor." And be in the same way now took up the head of . the Democratic party, and held it up before the people and said, "This is the head of a traitor." And now we buried it, and danced over its grave, and made music at its funeral. The birth which was to be celebrated was the new life of the country, regenerated at last, and born again by the assu rance of freedom throughout the land. 13y the triumphant electicia of the day, the people of the United States echoed back the great letter of the President, "to whom It may conoern;" and to whom it might concern, to the angels in heaven, and to the devils below, the tidings were going forth that slavery must die. THE .orEna.—" Der Frelichritz,ir presented ISA night at the Academy, was a great success. "La Salve" will be presented, with a grand cast, this evening. Owearnur-STanzt rICEATIM—Mrs. Bowers has made what Is called "a sensation" by her persona tion of the leading character in a new three•act play entitled " The Monastery of St. Just; or the Jewess of Madrid." She throws a great deal of feeling into the part, which she plays with womanly grace and sentiment. The Emperor . Charles the Fifth and his sons Philip 11. and Don Juan of A ustria figure in this play—the two sons being in love with the same lady, the' charming Jewess, who, at the elnee, turns ont to be- a Christian. ' Mr. McCollom, a recent acquisition to the company here; played the part of Don Juan in a more than respectable manner, and Mr. Chapman made a great deal of the small character of Don Quexada. Mr. Frank Mordaunt's rendition of the role of Charles V. was •not successful. Instead of the prematurely feeble and wasted statesman who Union, Dent " Threw crowns for rosaries away, An empire for a cell," he presented a monk in excellent condition, jolly and rotund as the "friar of orders grey" himself, and as deficient in dignity as we may suppose that jovial person to have been. With great good nature, Mrs. Bowers, in the second act, played the charac ter of Peblo, a young novice, which had been oast to little Miss Gerreon, who was too ill to appear in it— played it with 'considerable archness, too, and was much applauded. This evening Mrs. owers takes a benefit, and Will appear as Carwille, one of her most popular parts. ARCH-STREET TkIEATRI3.—Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams continue to fill this house nightly. Oa the occasion of their benefit, this evening, the house will probably be crowded to Its utmost extent. .WALIiIIT-STREET THEATRE.

This evening, for the benefit of re. and Miss Buchanan, a newprize•tragedy, entitled "The Plebeian Daughter; or, A Father's Vengeance," will be represented for the first time here. '.Nkricaren CIRCUS.—The rush at the National Circus last evening, it being the opening of the season, was tremendous. The first and second tiera,"and all the private boxes, were filled to their capacity. The performances passed off in excellent style. The London Athenaum, in view of a resent accident tb an actress whose dress caught on fire from the footlights, makes these pertinent Otaferva tions• .• " Will any one state what are the:aavalitiges of illuminating tho stage in the modeinrumnrier, from below, th.st, is, so as to bring the intenqty of the light with full power between the spectator's eyes and the objects at which ho looks—to cast the shadows of every object In a manner which is not only the reverse of that which nature chooses, but ' actually contrary to the way in which the scene painters represent their effectsl Nothing is more absurd than this error ; we see the painted shadows oast in the opposite direction to that of the actual ones, and this in scenes where 411usion is the main object. Had nature Intended the human face to be illuminated from below, she would have Bliaped it so as to produce something wine different front the ugly mask-like look which results from the modern system of theatrical lighting. By this curious device the features of a performer - are "put out of proportion with each other, the eyes are set in shaded cavities, the nose projects the wrong way, the upper lip IS illuminated Instead of having its thickness shaded, the eyeballs cannot but glare and glitter unnaturally, the chin loses its expres siveness, and the light and shade of the countenance is broken up. Lights arranged in the sides of, and: above the stage; would not be liable to these objeci Lions ; th ey would aid, instead of (as now) impeding the ventilation, and would insure audiences against seeing performers burnt alive before their eyes." The new opera house in Chicago will seat about 2 . 500 people, and the stage and dressing-room will be so thoroughly warmed that,S Chicago journal. says, ".we shall have no more shivering and blue lipped Normas, Rosinas, and Countesses to chatter 271813, and tenor' and basal will lose the necessity of tearing * their passions to tatters to keep warm."
