JOHN CESSNA, Chairman of Union State Committee Wat. A. V7ALLACB T Chairman of Democratic State Committee THE PUNCH EXPOSITION OF 1867. A large and handsome pamphlet, pub lished in Washington as a portion Of the diplomatic correspondence of the year, is entirely devoted to the subject of the pro posed universal expOsition to be opened in Paris on April Ist, 1867. The reason for this special publication and for. its distribu tion is found in the opening letter from Mr. Braman-, the minister at Paris, to Secre tary SEwArtn. He states that by the regu lations of the "exposition" a detailed plan of the articles to be exhibited, and their distribution in the space allotted to the several nations, must be presented to the Imperial Commissioners before the 31st of January, 1866. So early a date having been fixed upon, it is hardly to be presumed that Congress can take any action upon it, and to await such action before organizing the American department of the exposi tion would be equivalent to abandoning all profitable participation in it As all cona munication with the Imperial Commis sioners must be held through commissioners of the respective countries, Mr. M. N. Bscxwonum, of the United States legation, 'Paris, has been empowered to act as special Commissioner. Mr. BIGELOW further ex plains that as the subject was not brought before the attention of the Government of the United States until after the ad journment of Congress, which would not meet again until December, 1865, he could not give the Commissioner gene ral the required assurance that Nye would be able to fUrnish the space apportioned to us, as much would depend upon the appro priations for the purpose, but that in lieu of any such governmental action he pre sented to the Commissioner a despatch from Mr. SEWARD, expressing the interest of our government in the exposition, and also directing his attention to the important changes in our domestic affairs, adding the assurance that the people of the United States would make good use of the allotted space. On account of this inability upon the partof Mr. Bramow to make more -de finite assurances, the Imperial Commission felt compelled to reduce the portion reserved to the United States, for fear of causing a gap or unsightly unoccupied space in their' most exact and systeniatically.arranged plan. The space still remaining for our use is about nine times as great as that Oc cupied in 1855, yet the reduction is to be regretted, for if a fair opportunity and suffi cient time for preparation were allowed to our people it would, undoubtedly, be more difficult to limit the contributions to the larger space, than to fill it creditably. The building will be erected on the Champs de Mars, and will be in the form of a broad ellipse, surrounding a garden, and. in turn encircled by a park, intended to re ceive live animals and plants, and also such buildings and objects as cannot be placed within the main building. The exhibition palace will be traversed by circular avenues yenning parallel with the walls, and the avenues will be crossed by passages radiating from the centre to the:circumference of the building. The apportionments to the na tionalities running in belts along the radii, so that the visitor following the passages be in the rme of nationalities, while the avenues conduct him along the line of groups, of which there are ten ; and o classifications, of which there are ninety.. five. A large map or plan is contained in the pamphlet, giving an admirable view of the proposed arrangements, with the spaces allotted to the several countries marked dis tinctly in different colors, with the several areas belonging to each in square metres. The apportionment of the building is as follows, the English equivalents given being an approximation sufficiently close for a general understanding of the whole, with out being accurate to the uttermost frac tion : The greatest length et the enclosure, 538 yards.

THE LOAD BISHOP OF MONTREAL At the Opening of the Episcopal Conven tion, in this city, on Wednesday, the ser mon should have been preached by Bishop WEITTINGHAX, of Maryland, as senior pre late, but feeling himself unequal, from recent severe illness, to perform that duty, he in vited Dr. FIThFORD, Lord Bishop of Mon treal and Metropolitan of Canada, to do it. In yesterday's Press, the sermon was fully, reported. In the Anglican Church, every bishop is spoken to and addressed as "My Lord" and "Your Lordship," a practice originating, no doubt, in the fact that of the twenty-five bishops of England and Wales, twenty-four sit in the House of Lords, as barons, being summoned thither on account of the territorial claims of their respective sees. By courtesy, the temporal title of " Lord" is given to all the colonial bishops, including that " black sheep in biblical criticism," Dr. COLENSO, of Natal. FRANCIS FULFORD, D. D., is a Devon shire man, whose family claim descent from one WILLIAM DE FNLNORD, who held the manor of Fulford in the reign of RICHARD CCEUR DR LION, and, of course, was of Norman origin. Dr. DANIA-I,D was educated at Tiverton School and at Exeter College, Oxford, where he graduated B. A. in 1824; was elected a Fellow, in June, 1625 ; was rector of Trowbridge, Wilts, (the incumbency held, at the time of his death, by ONADDR, the poet,) from 1832 to 1842 ; was rector of Croydon, Cambridgeshire, from 1842 to 1845 ; Was minister of Cuson Chapel, in the parish of St. George's, Hanover square, London, from 4845 to his consecration as Lord Bishop of Montreal_ In 1830 he married Miss Dnummorth, grand-daughter of the second Earl of Egmont, which aristoratic connection may have led to his appointment as chaplain to the Duchess of Gloucester, one of Queen VICTORIA'S aunts. His see was formerly portion of the diocese of Montreal. Its value is four thousand dollars a year, paid out of the colonial bishoprics' fund, and, in 1850, Bishop FULFORD was appointed Me tropolitan of Canada, The scarlet hood which he wears with his episcopal robes marks his rank as M. A. of Oxford—the hood of a B. A. being black-edged with -white fur. The Bishop of Montreal has published several sermons and a work on "The Progress of the Reformation," lie was born in 1803. Tint UNION CANDIDATE for the State Senate in the Second district is JACOB E. liroo - wAy. There_ is what is called au 4 ' Independent " opposition to him, which claims to be strong, and to have the success at heart of- the. Union nominees in the ward and district. That if this opposition is directed only against Mr. RIDGWAY why IS it that a whole "Independent ": ticket is nominated? Why is it that there is not only an "opposition to the - candidate for , the Senate, but to the candidates for every position, even to that of School Director ? The BONSAIS; ticket is evidently intended to divide the Union strength, and division is defeat. The Senator now to be elected will serve a three year's term, and hie vote Will aid in the election of a United States Senator. Why temporize, why trust to uncertainties? Better to be sure by the election of the reguhir Union nominee than to trust to a " Citizens' Union Candidate," who betrays his purpose by being part of:a tieket which opposes Union nominations at every point. This is an important matter. Let every citizen of the Second District consider it well. • MTELLIGERI . SUFFRAGE With the overthrow of the rebellion, and the abolition of human slavery, American citizenship became the most sacred indi vidual franchise in the world. Conferred before with almost reckless profusion it was often used and abused with criminal corruption. Awarded nearly without condition or qualification, it was lightly valued by the hosts who wielded it. May we not hope that a political Evan• gelism is before us ; that those who vote will qualify themselves for that highest of CIVIC duties ; and that none shall here after be clothed with suffrage un less they are fitted to understand their rights and obligations to, the republic ? On the day of another annual election, what better theme could engage the thoughts of an American citizen, than the priceless value and solemnity of this relation to his coun try MANY swim their present apathy by the assertion that the contest to-day is 'not important—it is only for an Auditor General. But, even if it be only for an Auditor General, it is like the opening skit mishing.before a grand battle. Important positions are gained by it, and success in spires confidence in the expectant array. Those who think the contest to-day only a skirmish, and not, a grand trial of stamina and strength, ought to remember that it will affect coming; aid, according to their ideas, more important contests. Thee same party, with the same principles, confronts us to-day as in campaigns before. A victory for that party is a proof either that the pa• triotic spirit of our people has died out, or that they suppose a Union it cost four years of blood to restore is now unworthy of fur ther trouble. A'" SOLDIER'S TrenET", forsooth, will be presented for the suffrages of the people to-day. Only a little while ago, soldiers, the same party which now fawns upon you with hollow deceit did the best it could to deprive you of your vote. Even when it was brought to the issue whether you should be freemen or not it went boldly to the ballot-box and answered you No ! Now, when it needs your services, it an swers you it is the soldiers' party. It strives to cover up all the hideous malice it has borne towards you under the mask of patriotism—of unqualified support to the President, etc. Can you be deceived, in telligent as you are, brave as you have been? Can you not address it, with full and forcible truth, in the words of the greatest of English poets 2 'Methinks thy voice is altered, and thou speak'st '- In better phrase and matter than thou didst.7' TO-DAY eleetions will be held in three States—Pennsylvania, Ohio, and lowa. Governors are to be elected in the last two States. Their previous record assures us of triumphant Union victories—important in the case of lowa especially, where a legislature will be elected, one of whose duties it will be to choose a United states Senator. Let us here, in Pennsylvania, de termine to emulate Ohio and lowa, and by the majorities given for the Union ticket show that our faith and our loyal city are as warm and as unswerving as ever. " GENERAL GRANT is now in Philadelphia, and does not hesitate to avow the same noble sentiments recently spoken by his velerable father against the enemies of the great National Union party. We printed the short speech of his father yesterday. Let the . gratefill friends and admirers of his Con remember them at the polls to-day. W117./i WE RECOLLECT that only one short year ago Philadelphia, was aglow with enthusiasm for the republic and scorn of its secret enemies, we cannot doUbt that the same Influences will work today to check and crush the plots of the Copperheads. GENERAL KILPATRicx gave the false De mocraey, in his great speech at the Academy last evening, a little of the same courtesy he extended to their Mends, the rebels, under SHERMAN in 1864. *Two WAR PRESS for this week appears on Wednesday afternoon. It will contain a full phonographic report of the proceed ings of the Episcopal Convention in this city—one of the most important bodies, it has been well said, which has met here aiitee the ancient Continental Congress. • Important Circular to Navy-Yard Commandaute. Secretary Welles lias issued an important °Merin which he says that he hears numerous complaints from employ& in the navy-yards at New York and Philadelphia, that they have been assessedby political committe6, through the agencies of the masters, a sum equal to one day's pay for each man.

Plants Gather. ed from Every Clime—Pleasure for the Wye, and Enjoyment for the Mind —Nature and Art In Unison Make an Earthly Paradise. The journeyer WhO Slowly ridOS along the Bristol turnpike, between Frankford and Holmesburg, one of these pleasant days, will find just what civilization in the country is, and just what every pastoral poet from Virgil down. has gone into eestacien over and de scribed in harmonious verse. The wildness and weirdness of natural Scenery are all gone, and in their places has Mine a tempered beauty, an air of quietness arid homeebss that no straggling forest or far-reaching prairie Can ever give. It is a beauty which does not surprise with its grandness or over-_ awe by its sublimity, but rather pleases while it soothes, gratifies while it does not sate the fancy. As he journeys he will first see on his left the Cemetery of Cedar Hill, new yet, as the fences and trees which gift it with a sombre loneliness testify, but whitened already with the tombstones of the dead from the little town whose spires just peep above the tree-tops to the south, Then lie mounts laboriously the long hill—" Rocky Hill, , the residents call it—and a grand tableau, stretch- Rig out for miles before and on either side, gives employment to his eyes and enjoy ment to his fancy. To the extreme left his vision is bounded by the woodlands, skirt ing the whole horizon dark, towering headlands, as it were, into which the green meadow-mean reaches, making a thousand bays and cosy nooks. To the right there is a rolling country, dotted over with groves and little homes, nestling under far. reaching oaks and beeches, mingled here and there with more stately buildings, the abodes of wealth or competence. The whole coun try is seamed with ferias, even to the very edge of the smiling Helaware which lays be tween the green meadows and the high wood lands on the Jersey shore. On every side is beauty—nature restrained or improved by art. As he goes his attention is -taken by the mansions and farm-houses that line the way—all of them attractive in their way—for their air of competency or com fort. Rut of all the manorial residences he will see over more than two-thirds the road to 1101mesburg, that called Spkingbrook, which comes upon him suddenly Ks he rounds a long curve of the pike, dazzles him most with its. wealth of foliage, flowers, and ornament, But he will see little of its real beauty even though the glimpses he reeeive6 are themselves so enjoyable. He will see state ly groves, meadows, miniature lakes—a gon dola reposing upon one of them--fountains in which swans disport; and from out the leaves in front a gardener's cottage peeps ; he win have a general view of a thousand things he would like to examine particularly ; and pursues his way with a violation almost of the Tenth Commandment. But if he enters like we have done, he will lose all idea of such a violation in the pleasure he derives from his surroundings. BPEINGILEOOB-.WHAT IT IS For years past-twenty-three, we think— Springbrook has been pointed to with pride, not only by its owners but by the residents of all the towns that lie around it. Year by year it has been improved ; every ornament that in• virility could devise or money purchase has been given it, until it equals in every respect any Manorial residence in the Mune of our city, or anywhere else • for aught we know. Twenty-three years ago Caleb Cope, Esq., pur chased it for a rural residence, and when four teen years later h e i trans [erred it to Cr. il..Stuart, Esq., a beautiful residence had been made, to which the latter gentleman did his best to add. Conservatories and graperies were erected into which the choicest plants from every clime,espeeially the tropica,were gathered; the choicest ornamental and deciduous trees were added, walks were laid out, artificial lakes constructed, and ailed with gold-fish and trout—all accessories to the mansion itSelf, which is built in the midst of the ground on a little hillock Commanding a view of the Dela ware, and from its observa:tories of the city. and its prominent buildings. A WALK OVER THE GROUNDS. The whole front of the property on the Bris tol turnpike is bounded by a massive wall-of Trenton stone, and the entrance is made through massive iron gates, with brown-stone posts. Serpentine walks between green lawns, and under spruce and fir trees—which blend their branches over the paths and keep theta in a constant shadow—lead to the mansion, the gardener's cottage and the outbuildings. The HAMon is tnreq . stories high, of stone, rough east, and Mr. Forrest has in it, for leis room, that on the southern wing, overlooking the rear of the grounds and the Delaware in the distance. Here in the rear, and to the north, in the midst of the broad lawn, are situated the trout pond and the lake, fed from the brook from which. the estate derives its name. In tile midst of the latter Is dii island, planted round With magnolias, and at the shore is moored the gondola which every passer-by on. the turnpike has stopped to admire. Further to the right are the groves, clean swept and guiltless of the countless leaves scores of au tumns have east upon their sward. They are not wild groves, each tree or straggling branches struggling with its neighbors for light and room. Art has been. there, and Na ture's phantasies and selfishness have given way to law and order. But it is to the right or south that the visitor will naturally turn, even if the gardener, en thtleittatie in his work and properly proud of it, does not ask you -into his little kingdom. Here is where money has been lavished ; here Is where specimens of Flora's beauty from every part of the world hive been brought to delight the eye, touch the fancy, and elevate the soul. There are seventeen structures erected for the only purpose of conservato riee, and in them may be found plants that we, in this cold Northern clime, rarely or never hear of, and far more rarely see. An idea of our feeling when we entered the Lily House (the moat prominent among the structures) may be had by any one who pad the good for tune to spend half ad hour in the horticultural department of the Sanitary Fair. The Lily House may nothave bad as ostensive a variety of pietas as that department, neither was it by far so grand, but it brought back some of the impressions of exquisite pleasure we had felt. Buds, flowers leaves, perfume, the clear music of babbling, flowing water, and exquisite combinations of colors, moist cool. ness ! These were the concomitants of our stay in the Lily House. We did net need the ready gardener to tell us that that was a llaranthats, Or this Chao Discolor, or a third the .21Totres Meng, or a fourth tile century Plant: What he said added to our botanical knowledge, but not to our enjoyment. The sun was just going his downward way to the west when we stood in • this Mint of Flora, and his light falling aslant the crystal-roof, fell with subdued mellowness on every leaf and stem. Air-plants, with their long, filmy, arm like shoots, clothed one end in a green Maze of tiny leaves, and the cisaus discolor covered the other all over with variegated velvet. Ferns, suggestive 'of woed.s and eoolness and delicious indolence, clothed the sides, while at the centre of the roof, the creepers met in a glorious dome, bespangled all over with dew drops, glittering in the sunlight like diamonds. In the centre, in a lead-lined brick tank, filled with the coolest of cool, pure spring water, flourished an immense Victoria regia, its two broad, white leaves, fully two feet in diame ter, spread out upon the surface of the water in the calmest repose, while around theta clustered other and tinier leaves—their chil dren—eo to speak. All around the tank - were arranged the maranthus and other plants, their leaves streasced, and spotted, and covered with every color of the spectrum, bending down till they just tipped the water. Shining gold fish darted from the side, now here, now there, in ;mazy play; while others hid: themselves under the leaveh as if afraid of the human eye. All was refreshingly beautiful, and had we had time, minutes—hours—might have been past in rapt study. Others had been there before us at the feast, but theyhad taken none of its pleasure away, for a new and. unknown pleasure had been begotten in their hearts. In a little book at a little desk were the names of hundrede of visitors, - many Of theta the most prominent in the land. It is useless, and we have not the space, to speak of the green-house, in which plants from the Cape of Good Hope and other temperate regions, nor of the orchid house, where. air-plants, Whose leaves mim icked moths and butterflies; were mingled in harmonious confusion; nor of the lily-pond, where hundreds of lilies had just ceased to bloom; nor of the beds of violets and fuchias, their sweet odors just perceptible in the cool autumn air. Let the reader imagine theta as he wills, or give his widest fancy to the mean ing of the word .beautiful in this connection, and lie will not go beyond the truth. The vineries, the opinge-house, the orchard house, the neetarino.-1101190,were all filled With their appropriate contents. Turning from all these we pass down the grovelled walks, hedged with arborvitae, out to the cool grove—over the soft, yielding grass back to the house again, up its broad stair way tO Mr, Forrest's room. As we have said, he has chosen this for his awn. It was of the simplest, in keeping with the rest i ,, of the house ; with grained •Iyannels, its, floor car peted with light elastic matting—its only re commendation its airiness, the light that that streams in from half a dozen windows, and the view of the Delaware just where It Rows, a glistening rim to the hazy wood lands of the New Jersey shore. The Deht ware here is rarely traversed by vessels. There is little necessity for great fleets to sail over it. were it not for the Civilization, evidenced in the hurdle iron fences that ex tended before us, and the scattering houses in the distance of our sister State, it would have appeared to our eyes just as it appeared to those of the wandering Delaware tribes, .who a little more than a century ago built their lodges in these very woods, and buried their dead in these swelling mounds. Now and then a steamboat, its proportions miniatured by distance, moves like a ghost over the mir rored, water, or a tiny sail-boat tacks from side to side; but they do notpass often, so that our noble river is niin9st always in repose. It is upon this scene the tragedian will look when it is bathed in the morning sunlight—a soothing, beautiful scene. In the autumn days it will Mtn a new beauty,with the leaves painted all over with russet, and brown, and yellow, by the cunning pencil of the artist 1111 PRESSAYlittAtantiA., - TUMMY, OeTOBEIt 10, iso: Winter sends, ,to prepare his hibitatioil for . . . . . , . • him.

We stop here, for we imagine k , te have seen all. "No, you haven't!" exclaims our obliging guide. "You must see the oak tree, the barn and the farm-house, and all them." We see the oak tree, thirteenor fourteen feet in girth, and imagine half ®iment might en camp beneath its far-spreading branches. We asked one of the Workmen on the plane, who said he had dwelt there for years, how old he supposed it was. "Well, I can't say, sir," he replied," but they say it's two thousan years," looking at pa askance, as if he did not expect us to believe what "they" said. "Two thousand years," we ejaculated. "Not that old, surely?" dealt knew,it he said, (ileakwaye they say so.” Whatever the oak's age, it is an immensely large tree. len passant, we are told that Mr. Stuart was offered two thousand dtllars for the tree by a well-knOwu shipbuilder or this city.

Becanse—tWhen our sons and brother* were cheerfully exposing their uncovesed bodies to the storms and tempests of wlnter, halt buried in Virginia "the Democratic party," in their rear, essayed to add starvation to their manifold sufferings by depreciating the bredit of the Government with a view to the stoppage of supplies for - the army in the field.

To the Editor of The,Press Sm": Permit me to aelmowledge through your columns the following eontrithitloll.9 for soldier's families : • From F. G., photographer, Phila. " Hon. H. D. M. (special)._ Hrs. Prof. 5.., West Phila 4 00 i( one bundle clothing. 4, Anonymous, one bundle clothing.. I appeal to our citizens with all earnestness for aid for those poor, starving families. For the sake of humanity and religion, let our M. tizens sena some of their contributions into those humbler channels—down to, yob. damp cellar, or up to you lonely garret, or into that cold, unfurnished, cheerless room, where sits and weeps the soldier's widow with her help less, hungry children. Oh! sir, I fear that some things that receive the name of benevOient in this world will not be reckoned such yeittbit Last winter I pled with. all - the pathos which the subject de mended for those suffering soldiers wives and their children ;but the Commissions absorbed all our nation's benevolence and these poor and deServing were left out in the e01d, 9 9 hungry and naked. Now, sir, I ean . see the very same state of things about to lie inaugu rated in regard this " Soldiers , and Sailors- Home." I rejoice that this Home is to be erect ed. Yon will remember how earnestly I pled for such a Home through The Press, lAA Wit/- ter; but the great danger is that this Home, which cannot meet the wants of soldiers and sailors this winter and can never meet the wants of hundred and thousands of soldiers' and sailors' families, will absorb all the streams of benevolence, and, our citizens think they have done well. wlyin they have contributed their all to this institution, Here , sir , is the wrong; and did the mar nagers of this institution but come into con tact daily with one-half the suffering that I meet with, but cannot relieve, if they have men and women's hearts, they would devise some means of relieving at once the terrible sufferings that, sowing to the increasing se verity of the season, is daily increasing around us. May God open the eyes of our citizens to see this sad state of things, and incline 'their hearts to do with their means that which will most speedily and . qgqiently relieve these wants—feed the hungry, clothe the naked' visit the fatherless and widow, if not in perr son, at least by your representatives—green coal, clothing, food. City Pastor attends to all HMSO ; and, more• over, preaches the gospel gratuitously to the Poor, in addition to his own pastoral labors, every Sabbath night, in 'tater Hall, South street, above Fifteenth street. Let, then, our citizens remember these poor and needy ones. Let them share their eon tributions according to the worthinos and ne ceasity of the case; and their own benevolence will do good to man and be acceptable to God. Drug stores at convenient distances all over our city, where these poor, who cannot pay for medicine, could obtain it gratuitously, would 'be one Of the greatest blessings, and relieve the sufferings of many a poor, Ws tressed family. A physician called, some time ago, and volunteered his gratuitous service to such. Could not many of our physicians' give a kw hours a day, or a few hours a week; to this good worirl Oh ! into how many practical streams our be nevolence and beneficence might be divided if we only had deeply at heart the "poor man's ease !"

CITY rrmm[s. Ruronist Tzettirr.- oTragazitt BOXSALL, Fox STATIC. BRIPATOs. FELLOW-CiTiziws The time is at hand to signify ycrur prefer. ence for State Senator. Sterling Boman, the Reforin ti Candidate, stands pledged to use his best efforts.to secure fair and honest legis lation, and to protect the rights of our citizens against the encroachments of unprincipled corporate bodies, who are willing to sacrifice the beauty and comfort of our city to pnr pats of mere pecuniary profit. Chosen with out solicitation on his part, not by mere poli ticians, but by the action of citizens unwilling to submit to the legislative abuses which have so long existed, Mr. Bonsall has the high est claims to the support Of every citizen interested in the poitticai reputation of the State. We, therefore, cordially commend him as entirely worthy and competent in all re spects to fulfil the duties of the office. Now is the time to aid Reform. With no great nci tionai issue at stake—vilth no measure of state" policy demanding submission to minor considerations—nou; is the time to ele vete the "moral standard" of our Representa tives. The vote, judging from past experimice, will probably be about 16,000. With three WWI - the successful one must poll about 5,500. Mr. Ridgway's friends claim to have Demo. erotic votes enough to reduce their vote to under 5,000: The contest is, therefore, between Mr. Bonsai! and Mr. Ridgway. The decision is without you. The Senate now stands 19 aepobileans to it Demoerats. The majority now on joint ballot is large. The United States Senator will not be elected until one year from next winter, and will depend upon the legislative elections nett fall, The outcry in reference thereto, is simply a trick to pre vent citizens from expressing their honest opinions On the merits of the candidates. The absolute necessity for Reform demands of each voter his independent action at the polls, where glone Reform can be obtained. With these foetid; before us, can any citizen who desires good government hesitate as to his. duty? By voting for Mr. Boman and elect ing him, the managers of primary elecilosis in the future; will hesitate long before they will force Upon the party a candidate so entirely un• quaibien and objectionable as Mr. Ridgway.

It is due to the National Union party can didly to say that, as the nomination of Idr. Bonsail has not been made to be withdrawn, the irregular and unauthorized nomination of Hr.
