The presentation was made last evening in tho presence of a large assomblage of the General’s friends at the Cy Assembly Rooms, No. 444 Broadway.

DEBUT OF MISS CARLOTTA PATTY. ‘There was a splendid house last night to welcome to the stage another momber of that family which has been 80 long identified with musical affairs in this country, and which bids fair in the future to reflect upon us sono portion of the artistic prestige which Italy, Franco and Germany have hitherto monopolized. Viewed in this light, as well as iu reference to the unquestionable merits of the fair aspirant for lyrical honors, it is not sur- prising that the debut of Miss Patti should have excited among our community more than usual interest. Bellini’s operas are in general best suited to the class of singers whom the French style chanteuses legeres. They are wanting in those noble orchestral effects unuided by which the action of the stage rarely rises tothe level of grandeur, On the other hand they are full of the happiest poetic inspirations m the form of de. licious melodies, and therefore mare frequently afforg a test of vocal excellence than the higher class of compo- sitions, For this reason most of the great artists who have risen to fame within the last quarter of a century have iucluded one or inore of bia creations ia their repertoires. In the role of Amina, Matibran, Sontag, voreiani, Gassier and Jenny Lind wou their greatest successes. It is a part which requires extended compass of voive, great flexibili- ty, and judgment lo resist the temptation to overcharge with fioriture its beautiful meleties. It demands, morco- vor, sentiment and feeling, wiih a fair share of personal attractions and youthfulness of appearance. In reference to all these qualities the choice by Miss Pattt of this role fur her debut was an ex- NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Wasinneroy, Sept. 22, 1862. NO REBEL TROOPS NORTH OF BULL RUN MOUNTAINS.

People who pretend to lock into the fatcre condition of our country are beginning to talk of the importance of re- moving the capital to New York when tho war is ended and the rebellion suppressed. They argue that the pre sent location of the capital has been the cccusion of va rious difficulties in the prosecution of the war. It has seriously embarrassed the movements of our army, its exposed position rendering elaborate works and large forces necessary for Xs defence. The necessities of the case are magnified by a set of old fogies here who become exceedingly nervous whenever the army moves its length away from Wasbingten.

The great overland mail now passes daily through Denver. Passengers are constantly travelling on this route.

Recently instructions were given to the commanding officers of all arsenals and armories of the United States to administer the oath of allegiance to the employes under their command. Nineteen refused to take the oath at the Springfield (Mass.) Armory,on the ground that they were foreigners. The Secretary of War gave orders for their immediate dismissal. OPINIONS OF THE FRENCH PRESS IN REGARD TO EMIGRATION TO THE UNIVED STATES. The following is an official translation from an article in La Patrie of September 4, 1862:— The Presse publishes the fo lowing circular, communi- cated to it by the United States Consul in Paris, which had been addressed by the Secretary of Stite and Foreign Affairs at Washington to all the agents and consuls of the United States:— TU THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR OFFICERS OF THE UNITED STATES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. Derartuxnt or State, Wasuixeton, Sept. and her opening cavatina was delivered with alt the ease and brilliaucy which she is accustomed to display in her yocal efforts. There was a market difference in the volume of her veice in the recitative passages nd in her singing, a fact (o be accounted for by hor newness to the stage, In her bye play, too, there was a little restraint; but both these defects will disap: pear when she becomes at home in her parts. Even as it was she gathered more strength and confidence as the opera progressed, and sang and acted with as much spirit as could be expocted under the circumstances, In the finale of the first act she mado a marked impression, and the curtain fell amid enthusiastic applause, which was continued until she was brought out to receive a fresh ovation in the form of floral offerings. In the second act she sustained herself ad- mirably througboat, singing charmingly, and in the mili scone, the most trying ordeal that an artist can pass through, she was thrillingly offective, Her rondo was capitally delivered,‘and derived fresh beauties from her exquisite vocalization, The impression which she left artistically was a most satisfactory one, aud only increased the regret that there should still remain the slightest physical blemish on sofair a performanec. At the clove of the opera she was again called before the curtain, The Elvino of the evening was Signor Sbriglia, who, amongst his other recommenda.ions, haa tho race merit of thinking less of f than of the debutante, to whom he gave most effective support. Of Susiui's Redoipho we need scarcely say that it was, as usual, broad, vigor- ons, and exee!lently sung. The conductor was Muzio, who made the most of the limited resources at his dis- posal. Miss Patti will appear on .Wednesday in Lucia, and will be supported on this occasion by Brignoli. Watllack’s Theatre—School for Scandal. ‘The rendering of this fine aud inextaustible old play at Waliack’s Inst night wou the unqualified approvation of a full and a distinguished audie:.ce.
