IpRANK'S CAN PAIGN, OR WHAT A

DOWN THE REBELLION
BY HORATIo ALGER, JR:
One 12mo. vol. Two Illustrations. Price, SLSO.
No book bas been written for boys, that has such ele=
ments of success in it as this. New England Farm Life
is'perfect ; Little Pomp, the Contraband, inimitable;. the
Old Lady, his victim, who has not met her? the "Ross
villa Guards, " you saw them, and Frank is the manli
est lad you have ever known.
BOYS, be sure to suggest to your Parents, or RICH
UNCLE, that you would like it; but look out and get
the first reading of it, for it is just as attractive to the
old as the young, and is "THE BOOK OF THE
SEASON."

The Cathedral' Medal.
In commemoration of the oompletion and solemn
opening of the Catholic Cathedral, to-morrow fore
noon, Mr. A. 0. Paquet, for many years artist and
die-sinker to the Mint, has executed a superb medal.
It more than ticree * inches in . diameter,
and has been struck in various metals. In srhat Is ,
called white metal ,
. strongly plated, It is sold by •
Mr. Bailey, tbe jeweller, Chestnut street, for $5, and .
•Is neatly put up in a neat • velvetlined case. The .
-obverse, which is in very Strong retievo, fopresents
the principal ~facade •of the ,Uathedral as it will ,
appear when the two side towers are added to It.
The inscription, In raised letters, Is "Cathedral ,of
St. Peter and St. Paul, Philadelphia. Begun 1816.
Completed 1884." This is a bold and correekarchl•
teotural design of a very magnificent edifice. The
reverse shows the interior of the building, the dome'
pattlally exhibited, and the perspective terminating
with the grand . altar. There are two inscriptions
here, in Latin : "Tu es Petrus, et super hano
tram sedlficabo ecclesiam moam," and "'Vas !leo- .
Mills est milli isto ut portet nomen 112011 M. ooram
gentibus." This medal is worthy, in design and
execution, of the solemn occasion which has sug
gested Its production. Mr. Paquet, the artist, exe
cuted the medallions in the beautiful locket pre : -
sented to Mr. Lineoln, this weak, from Philadel
phia, through the hands of the Hon. W. D. KelleV,
arid ranks as high hero as Mr. Wyon ranks in Enr
land. rind the occasion, and Philadelphia will
supply the artist: •
riublications Received..
From J. J. Kromer, 403 Chestnut at set, we haye
The Illustrated London Almanac* for 1865. • Wien!,
tains many illustrations, viz : twelve fine-art en
gravings; twelve original designs heading the
calendar ; astronomical diagram of remarkable
phenomena, printed in tints, and ferns and butter
flies of the month, six plates printed in colors. The
letter press is a nrzalum inparvo of British statistics ,
including the names of officials, calendar, stamp
and other Governinent duties, bankers in the United •
Kingdom, abstracts- of public statutes passed in
1864, list of the Queen's privy counoil, names of arch
bishops and bishops, obituary of eminent persons
from August, 1663, to September, 1864, post office sta
tistios, and a great deal of original information
about astronomy and natural history.
We have the Corfihul Magazine, and also Temple
Bar, for Deceinber, from Mr. Kromer. 'The former
opens with " Armadale," Mr. Wilkie Collins' new
story, which we read a week ago in Harper's Maga
zine. Therels a further portion of " Wives and
Daughters," Mrs. Gaskell's new-novel, and not
much more, except an essay on the education of
middle. class gir,le in England, of decided interest and
ability. The writer "goes in" 'for girls being, able
to solve mathematical problems, but does not re
commend that they previously learn hoW, to make
bread, cook a mutton chop, and out out and sow a
shirt or their own dresses. .
Maple Bar is a better magazine than the Corn.-
hill. It has three serials now running through it:
Miss Braddon's "Doctor's Wife," Mr. E. Yates'
"Broken to Harness," and Mr. Byron's "Paid in
Full." In this last is a chapter describing a din. *
ner at Richmond, which, for truth, spirit, and quiet
fun, has rarely been equalled. The old French story
of "The, Queen's Necklace" is told again, --not so
well as in Dumas' romance. Mr. Sala gossips,
rather wearily, about his experiences in. Russia;
there is a sensible paper upon military occupations,
amusements, and punishments,And, under the title
of "Tripping it Lightly," an amusing writer re
lates how, for fifteen pounds, ($75,) he travelled,
with pleasure and comfort, for - awhole month in'
-Europe, Paris, Switzerland, (including Mount St.
Gothard and. Lake Lucerne,) Lego Maggiore,
Como, Milan, Venice, Verona, Fldrence, Leghorn,
Genoa, and Turin; and might have included Rome
and Naples in the tour, without further railway ex
penses.
We have, also, from Mr. Kromer, the principal
English pictorials of November 5. From All the
Year Round we learn that Dickens' Christmas
story, to appear in London early In December, will
be entitled "Mrs. Lirript r's Legacy."
Mr. Pugh, corner of Sixth and - Chestnut, favors
us with the New York pictorials. • .

41 .. Beaten, and in sad disorder,
Not a soldier heeds the order,
"Bally, rally for the right I"
All he cares for is for flight.

Hurrying fist, and following faster,
Plunged each horse and urged each master.

"Rally, men, and face about,
Stop this most disgraceful rout 1"
All along the line they ran,
"Where, oh! where is Sheridan?"
Twenty miles away is he ;
God that such a thing should be.
Stated on his charger black,
Hastening to his army back,
Like the lightning in its course,
With a mighty torrent's force, •'
Onward sped his noble horse ; .
Clouds of dust were in his track.
Diet by men bewailing flight,
"Pshaw," he said, "I'll fix it right—
Forward, forward to the fight I"
All along the line there ran
Words of cheer from Sheridan.
11l befell to them that day,
That the rebels sought the fray.
Broke their shattered ranks and fled, -
Leaving heaps of dying, dead!
Now, with shouts of joy and laughter,
Echoed back from heaven's own rafter,
Dashed our gallant troopers after,
Till the field with blood was red.
Soldiers hugged each other then—
Cried and laughed by turns again,
/lore like girls than stalwart men ;
While along the line there ran
Cheer on cheer for Sheridan !
Who shall claim for him alone
All the victory as hYs own l
True, a man of stubborn will,
Joined with great chivalric skill,
After that his troops retreated,
Wounded, baffled, and defeated,
Had, upon his charger seated,
By his presence sent a thrill
Into aviary soldier's heart.
But the nation gave a start,
Mired as by electric dart;
While from llp to lip there ran,
"God and.. Philip Sheridan !"
OIL ON THE CLARION.—There is at this time,
says the Clarion Banner, considerable excitement
along the Clarion river in regard to the oil prospect.
Strangers from all parts of the country are pouring
in and sites are being purchased every day. It is
gratifying to us to know that at last there Is some
thing to start our people and encourage them to
make investments with a, prospect of a speedy re

land is rapidly changing hands and purchasers are•

THE TAILOR BOY.—Boston J. E. Tilton St Os.
Let no one be beguiled into thinking that this work
le a sober, dull biography, like those of the other
"boys "on record. On the contrary, it is a fresh,
spirited story, running over with fun and generous,
loyal sentiments, to which a sliglatmeasure of doubt
as to whether any part can be veritable history adds
piquancy.—Boston Journal.
OUR readers remember that on the 29th of June
last an adventurous gentleman set sail from New
York in a small boat hardly big -enough for safe
navigation of the North river in all weathers, pro
posing to ore ss the Atlantic., The' New York
papers generally made - quite a sensation out of the
event, as though the foolishundertaking was highly
commendable. Nearly five months have elapsed,
and nothing has been heard of the Vision," which
has probably gone to the bottom of the Atlantic,
with all on board, two men and &dog'. If men have a
relish for danger, there are plenty of ways which are
legitimate, honorable, and useful, inlvhich there is
peril enough to satisfy the moat reckless.
THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE TANEY is said to have
had no faith in the war as a means of.restoring the
Union, and looked with gloomy forebodings on the
future. This assertion seems to be - corroborated by
a letter which appears in the New York correspon
dence of the London Times. This letter, which the
correspondent assures us has never been published,
says the " times - are dark with evil omens," -and
hopes that this "generation may live to see days of
law and order return," intimating at the same time
that he scarcely believes they will.

A New Piratical Plot.
REBEL PIMOMS. 00,LLEOTED AT HAVANA—PRO.
rosun summit or. OAmPORTITA STEAMERS--
DISOOVERIF.JAND FRUSTRATION OP THE SCHEME.
The New tiirk Times of yesterday gives publicity
to the followitg. statement :
We have hien in possession for some time past of
highly interegting and important incormation, de
rived from Havana, in regard to a proposed rebel
plan for captitring American passenger steamers
upon the Pacific ocean. Hitherto we have refrained
from giving' the fapts publicity, lest- a premature
announcement should tend to defeat measures that
had been taten.to frustrate the
.plot, and arrest•the
parties thereto: Now that any danger of - that sort
is over we are at liberty to show how narrowly. we
have eseapeethe necessity' of recording' another
Roanoke -affair,sonly on a larger- scale, upon the
waters of th(Pacilic.
The detaiKelthe, plot In question - were consum
mated at Havana some. time since, under the ap
proval of S. R. Mallory, the Confederate Secretary
of the Navy. 3 _ Its leader -and manager was Thomas
A. Hegg, holding a commission in tne rebel navy as
master, wit - q.atith•apiCrty.of•from sixteen to twenty
men, lettuiligi,ler.,Panumaq Now Grelitala,-the.
last of. September or first of October, for , the pur
pose of getting on board the Panama Railroad Co.'s
fine. steamer Guatemala, seizing ,: her.-at sea, and
then using her atas a pirate vessel to capture
Steamers 01 the Pacific. Mail Steamship Company,
plying bettreen'Padama, and San Francisco. The
party 'were all well - armed, and abundantly sup
plied with ammunition concealed their baggage.
They were to take paSsage.on th, Guatemala for
different central American ports, so as not to excite
suspicion: . Hogg was to go on board first, carrying
his baggage, which was to contain nothing suspi
cious. If it was not searched, his followers were
to convey on boar their trunks subsequently, with
the arms:and ammunition concealed In them. •
The seizure of the vessel was not to be attempted'
until she_ had got to a point upon the Central :Ame.
rican eosin, some two hundred miles from Panama,
where there was no danger of falling in with a
cruiser, or with any craft that could give notice of
the change of command of the Guatemala when it
had been effected. No serious difficulty was ap
prehended in taking possession of the Guatemala',
as her officers were not likely to anticipate any
danger, and were expected to be found entirely off
their guard and without the means of resistance in
their hands.
The Guatemala carries two g.uns for her own pro
tection from privateers. Relying upon these for of
fensive purposes, the pirate then proposed to Grain
for the - passenger and specie-carrying steamers of
the California trade; until they had oaptured at least
one of them, with which; probably, they would have
essayed': a'-trip •aoross the Pacific to East Indian
waters,:proviaed they could obtain the necessary
coal by capture of some one of the . colliers constantly
engagedlnearrying steamer supplies of fuel to Cen
tral AS iierloan ports, Panama, Acapulco, San . ..Tuan
del Sur,-aiid San-Francisco. Ultimately the conspi
rators hoped.to follow up their success by proceeding,
in the Guatemala, to the coast of Northern Califor
nia., •andlthere making a raid. against Ben . Hallo
day's like of steamers between San Francisco, Ore
gon, and British Columbia.
Fortunately, the scheme was discovered by some
means, and we presume information must have been
sent direct from Havana to the Isthmus, in time to
frustrate the execution, as we hear, on private au
thority frOm Panama, that the parties known to be
implicated were all there and atAspinwall, as late
es the nth of this month, and. were known . to' the
United States consuls at both places, to the com
manders of the Panama Railroad Company's
steamers, and to the United States naval commander
in the port of -Panama. It appears that the' dove
redoes arrived too late for the. Guatemala—a por
tion of them having gone to Aspinwall via St;
Thoinas.. The Guatemala sailed on the 25th of Oc
tober. The next Panama Railroad steamer for Cen-.
tral American ports was the Salvador, to sail on the
10thinst. and it was -.understood at Panama that
the piratical party were to take passage in her. If
they did so, they were promptly arrested after their
arrival on boareevery • arrangement having been
made for that purpose. Nothing can have prevented
their capture,probably, unless the fact snail have
leaked out at Panama that they were adspected ; in
which event, of couise, they would-not be likely to
plat e themselves under the American flag, where
their seizure would be free from international em
barrassment. • .
Master Hogg, (sometimes called Egerton), we un•
derstand, is a native of Baltimore, who has lived
sonic, time In New Orleans. His ckief officer is a
man named- Bradshaw, who claims to have once
been a commander of the Guatemala. Edward J.
Norville, a native of Baltimore, but now of Mobile,
Is Hogg's master - ' Win. Black, of NeW Orleans, is
purser ; Edward Swain, of New Orleans, 'midship
man ; Thos. Reynolds, of New Orleans, master's
mate; John Riddle, (alias Smith), is engineer;
Timothy O'Grady and Geo. March, of New York,
we quartermasters ; and among the crew are Robt.
Lyons, aad men by the name of Higgins, Stoddard,
and Sullivan. We hope to hear, by the neat arri
val from-the,Dithmus; that all the above-named par
ties, and whose names we have not given, are
safe on board an Americanscruiser at- Panama, un
less, indeedy they arrive here in-charge of United
States officers simultaneously with the announce
ment of their capture.
Discoveries of OH in Michigan.
mzracauss RESPECTING TREE ORIGIN OPPISTROLEIIM
The Pittsburg _Commercial of Thursday contains
the annexed _lnteresting article describing an 'oil
district in Michigan, and including some new spool.
batons upon the origin of that wonderful natural.
product, rock oil :
After several disappointments in procuring oil in
- any quantity in Michigan, the poopie of. that State
have been thrown Into excitement by the discovery
of a well near Lakeport, St:'Clair county. The his
tory of this discovery is narrated as follows : Some'
time since Mr. L. Baker, of Toledo, learning that
u gum beds," or deposits of bitumen, existed near
Lakeport, and that gas had been escaping abun
dantly, proceeded to the vicinity, and qutety pur
chased 2,000 acres of land, embraoing all the loca
tions on which the indications referred to existed. He
at once commenced the sinking of a shaft, and that
ie now'in progress. As soon as Mr. Baker's purchase
became; known, several other parties commenced
prospecting and buying land in this vicinity. An
Eastern company especially, understood to be al
'ready interested in explorations in other carts of
the State, purchased and leased large.tracts, said
to amount to four thousand acres or over. These
'purchases, however, it is evident are not likely
to embrace the most promising lands. These
were secured by -Mr. Baker, who has been'
repeatedly importuned to sell at an enormous ad
vance. One circumstance will show the validity:of
the Indications acted . on, when judged by the most
.experienced practical men. Mr. O. Funk was one
of theorlyinai proprietors of the celebrated Funk
wells - op 011'Creek, in Pennsylvania—on,e of which
00Me. time over 3,000 barrels of oil daily.
'Thisagetylemais, hearing of the Miohigan discove
riesy*lsited.the State to make observations for him
, self, and.wits so well satisfied with what he saw that
he ;purchaied of Baker a two-thirds interest In a
certain eighty acres; for the sum of $21,000, and fur
ther agreed to pay iaoo,ooo if oil should be found in
quantities of commercial importance. Recently,says
the Detroit-Advertiser, Mr. Funk visited the region
again, and though the works are only In progress he.
seems to regard the result as no longer contingent,
for he announces to Mr. Baker that he should hold
: himself, bound for $lOO,OOO, and ,has gone to New
York, to trawler the amount to Baker's credit. '
The reader t will inquille what really substantial
evidences exist that the indications alluded to are
anything more than the superficial signs generally
present'among the rooks of the coal measures, and
In the carniferous limestone, (in Monroe county for
example,) but which-have never been found to be
the omens of large supplies of oil. It was especial:
sly to enable himself to answer this question that
•Nr. Baker consulted Prot Winchell, of the Univar

—Miss Mary Lee, of New York city, was marrtimi.
at the American Minister's, in Paris, on the 26th`
nit., to the Prince of Schleswig-Holstein, Uncle to
'the Duke of Augustenburg. AS the Prince belongs
to a royal family be could not, with- his royal title;
contract other than a morganatic marriage with a
commoner; so he renounces his title of. Prince of.
Schleswig•Holstein, and is married to Miss Lee in
the most regular and legitimate manner, under the
title or the Due de Noon, which he holds from an
Austrian estate. He is very wealthy and accent.

bride 1E:only thirty. The marriage service was
conducted at the - minister's by the Rev. Dr. .
Sunderland, pastor of the American chapel. dpro
poi of Miss Lee, It may .be remarked that .
several American ladies have married. titles
•In France. Two daughters of General. Harney
bear the titles of Countess, and a daughter of My',
James 4 Pbelan, of New York, some three years
since, became the wife of Vicomte de . dabriac.
There are (says a Paris correspondent) not a few
others of our fair countrywomen here who hope yet
to place titles upon their visiting cards. Some of
them, It is feared, will wait too long. A few months
since, a dashing young widow of New York was
engaged to a Count who had attained the ripe age
of, eighty. He'had no fortune, hoviever, and little
except his title to recommend him. His affianced
succeeded,- through the. influence of the Duke de
Morny, in obtaining an Interilew with the Emperor,
in which she urged upon his Majesty the propriety
of - giving some appointment of' pecuniary value to
her venerable but penniless affianced. The Emperor,
however, politely but firmly refused, alleging the
superannuated condition of the, gentlemanand so

the match is "off.!'
A Washington correspondent of theßochester
Eaness says: Sojourner Truth (whom everybody
-knows) is in the city, having• come here epressly
to visit Mr. Lincoln, and express to him her thinks
for his proclamation freeing so many of her race.
I have knosin Sojourner for--a long time, and it
seemed very natural that I should bathe one chosen
by her to introduce her to the White House.. I
considered myself very fortunate in being able to
obtain an interview, as really my husineis could not.-
he considered urgent, and that I had not the clainC.
to his attention which was very strongly made in.:,
my presence,.and of which I shall speak by-and-by;
"that I bad voted for him." I had done no such
thing, audit my sea did not prohibit me from that
privilege,-Icould not have even prOmiseA tOyetio.-
for him. Nevertheless, our President recelied l nier
and the woman whom I wont to introduce with real
politeness and a pleasing cordiality: I am not going
to deicribe Mr. Lincoln's personal appearance, for
that sort of thing has been done a thousand times.
To say that he is the most awkward man in the na
tion is nothing in itself—awkwardness or grace are
of the smallest moment just now. What we want
is resqlute and determined action, and in that short
interview with Mr. Lincoln I became. convinced
that, whatever may have been the former delin
quencies of the President, he has now come to the
conclusion to act. Sojourner delivered to him her
thanks for what he had done for her people, saying
at the same time that he was the 'only President
who had done anything for their. Mr. Lincoln re
joined, "and the only one who ever had any such
opportunity. Had our friends In the South behaved
themselves, I-could have done nothing whatever."
Honest, wasit not 1 Well, honesty has always been
awarded to the. President. We were shown the
Bible which was presented to Mr. Lincoln by the
colored people of Baltimore, •and altogether the
visit was quite satisfactory. •
Mrs. Peggy Fite, who died, a few- days ago, in
Wilson county, Tenn , was one hundred and three
yeare,old on the first of March last. Iler husband,
Leonard Fite, was-a soldier of the Revolutionary
war, and fought through that struggle as a private,
having steadily refused promotion. Mr. and Mrs.
Fite emigrated to Tennessee from North Carolina,
and settled in Nashville when the place was known
as Nash's Lick. In those days Mrs. Fite often as
listed In bullets, while' her husband and
others belonging to the "settlement , ' were defend
ing themselves against the attacks of the Indians.
On the 12th of April, 1861, a large number of her
descendants met at the house of Jacob Fite and
celebrated the one hundredth anniversary_ of her
birth. At that time she had eleven children living
—her oldest (a son) being eighty years old, and her
youngest (a daughter) fifty-nine ; seventy-six grand
children, three hundred and five great.grand chil
dren, seventy-one great-great-grand children, and
two great great-great grand children; in all, four
hundred living descendants. At the time 'of her
death her grand children of the fifth generation had
increased to, twenty-one, and her. grandson feels
quite certain her living descendants now number
over five hundred.
We are happy to announce the arrival in this
city of Baron Gerolt, the Minister of Prussia, who
has so long, and so acceptably to this Government,
represented his country here. Baron Gerolt has
been in Europe for several 'monthi, and his absence
has been keenly felt in the circles of diplomacy and
of the haul ton.—Washington Chronicle,
SCIENTIFIC.
A furnace, patented by- Mr. B. B. Wilson,
which is almost smokeless and greatly.economizes
fuel, is in operation at Messrs. Moreland's works,
London. There are no fire.bars in the furnace, the
air entering upon the surface of the fresh coal
causing a downward draft; as•the floor of the rever
berating oven slants downward from the coal
box. The gas is thus slowly and continuously dis
tilled until it comes in contact with the lower stra.
tum of burning coals, when it becomes sufficiently
heated to ignite. The principle adopted seems to
be that of turning a common fire upside down, not
unlike a furnace bank foremost, so that the fresh
coal is applied at that end whence the smoke of its
first Ignition goes through the fire and is consumed,
instead of being placed on the end of the tire, whence
the direction of the draft carries it off as soon as
evolved. The principle is very simple, and probe,-
bly efficient, though not novel.. --
The latest novelty in the hat line is a recent in
vention of A. C. Crondal, of New York city. It is a
cork hat; made of two layers of cork; which "are pre
pared with composed oil, and packed or attached to
an intervening pleas or canvas, muslin,.or other
textile fabric, in . suet a manner
_that a hat Is pro.
duced which is light, durable, elastic, and Impervi
ous to water and to the rays of the. sun. By pre
paring the,cork with Each oil the hardness Is re
moved trim the same, and it is rendered soft, elas
tic, and impervious to water. Thus prepared, the
ocrk is applicable to hats, bonnets, cape, and, in
fact, to head coverings of every description.
The English Army and Navy Gazette states that
trials are still going on with gun cotton, and if its
'deterioration can be prevented there can be little
doubt that it will prove a most valuable addition to :
