Some rumors were in circulation in Harrisburg on Sunday that the rebels had again crossed into Maryland at Hancock, and were repulsed by our troops; but there is not a word confirmatory of this idle report. On the contrary, all the news we have shows that no movement has taken place on either side since the return of our forces from the reconnoissance made from the direction of Har- per’s Ferry and Shepherdstown. No change whatever appears to have taken place in the posi- tion of our army on the Potomac for the past two or three days. A forward movement, however, is strongly urged in Washington, and is undoubtedly expected by the public. ‘There does not seem to be any good reason why, with proper action on the part of the Commissary and Quartermaster’s Departments, McClellan should not be placed in a position to advance at once, and effect some important result in Virginia. We have a statement, on the authority of one of the Washington papers—the Republican—of yes- terday, communicated by a refugee from Culpep- per, Va., who came into General Sigel’s head- quarters, to the effect that there is great conster- nation among the whites in that section in conse- quence of an apprehended negro insurrection. Seventeen negroes, he says, had been hung, copies of late Northern newspapers having been found upon them, containing Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation to liberate the slaves. It is said that the negroes of the different counties around Culpeppez are al! engaged ina conspiracy for general insurrectien. This report is, of course, to be received with con- Siderable doubt, the probabilities being all against its truth. We give to-day additional details of the late de- feat of the rebels at Corinth, together with the congratulatory despatch of the President to Gen- eral Graat, in which he specially regrets the death of General Hackleman, and makes urgent inquiries concerning the wound of General Oglesby, to whom he alludes as a persona! friend. Generals Hurlbut and McPherson have both been promoted for their gallant services in this action. The extracts from Southern journals which we publish in another column contain the usua) mount of interesting news. The Richmond pa- pers attempt to show that the rebel Bragg has defeated General Buell; but they make out a very lame case of it. The Mobile Register admits that nearly 10,000 rebels have taken the oath of al- legiance to the United States goverment. We learn from Quebec that the imports of war stores at that port have been very extensive re, crntly. The Great Britain brought out a large quantity of rifles and other war material, for the wi litary authorities, which have been landed ‘within the last few days and stored there. The Bavaria, off Cape Race, furnishes European Dews to the Sth instant, three days later. + President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation bad been received in England. The London Times considers the State paper to be a “political con- cexsion tofthe abolitionist wing of the republican @arty."' The writer says that ‘when the Union sted" the constitution did not confer the Vat to abolish slavery either onthe Presi- \ put alone or on the President and Congress. Fie ancipation, it is said, is ‘a thunderbolt placed in President Lincoln’s hands to destroy tue whole social organization of the South et a blow.” The London Zimes thinks that the Presi- ent has no power to enforce “his decree,” as #the North must conquer every square mile of the Bouth before it can make the proclamation of more effect than mere waste paper.” The Clyde steamer Ions, lately lost by collision in the Clyde, was heavily laden with stores for the Febels when she went down. The Davis agents in Great Britain had just purchased the vessel and cargo. General Chargarnier, of France, denies “that President Lincoln had offered him the command Of the federal forces,” Letters from Mexico, dated at Vora Cruz, re- cvived in Paris, state that the French army will encounter a “desperate resistance” at the hands ©! Juaree’ troops. Mexico City was amply forti- Ged, and the road from Orizaba will be stoutly Getended MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamship Bavaria, from Southampton on bhe Sth inst., passed Cape Race last Sunday after- joon, on her voyage to New York. She experi” ced very heavy westerly gales during the passage bo that point. Her news is three days later, and— being telegraphed by our agent in Nowfonndland— Js published in the Henacy this morning. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OUTUBER. 21, 43{ for money, and MK a 9% for the | Public Opinion—An Immediate Advance November account. There was & general advance in the quotations of Awmo- rican securities. The Paris Bourse was much excited. The Liverpool cotton market was buoy- ant on the 7th instant, at an advance ranging from three-fourths of a penny to one penny on Ameri- can descriptions, and one-fourth to one-half of «| penny on Surats. Breadstufls were quiet end steady. Provisions were dull, with a fall insome | all the persong engaged in the late Garibaldi movement, with the exception of deserters from the regular arfoy. The people of Sicily have been disarmed. The new Queen of Portugal had arriv- edin Lisbon, From China we leara that Colonel Ward (the American Mandarin) had captured three more cities from the rebels, Affairs were quiet in Japan; but another out break against the native party, which favors foreigners, was dreaded in Jeddo. Advices from Australia report that ‘ frightful inundations” have caused immense damage in the colony. The inhabitants had just forwarded fifty thousand dollars additional to England for the relief of the Lancashire operatives. This day’s sale of the Booksellers’ Association will be the heaviest one of the series. It com" mences with the invoice of Little, Brown & Co., of Boston, famous for their extensive list of publica- tions on law; their Aldine Poets, in 126 volumes; works of Bancroft and Webster, and the Encyclo- pedia Britannica, in 22 volumes, quarto. This will be followed by the list of Blanchard & Lea, of Philadelphia, one of if not the oldest publishing house in the United States. Their specialty is medicine, and they are the publishers of all the standard medical text books. Their invoice con- tains over two hundred lots. The day closes with the splendid invoice of D. Appleton & Co., consist- ing of five hundred lots. The three invoices will occupy the whole day. At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen yes- terday, the nomination of D, Randolph Martin for Street Commissioner was rejected by a vote of ten to five. The report from the Councilmen on the bills incurred for the reception of General Corcoran and Captain Downey, amounting to $6,500, was taken up and adopted. The Comp- troller’s statement shows a balance in the trea- sury on the 1sth inst. of $1,332,333. Some routine business was transacted, and the Board adjourned until one o'clock to-day. The Board of Councilmen last evening con- curred with the Board of Aldermen in requesting the Committee on National Affairs to confer with the Governor for the purpose of having the city of New York credited with all the men sbe has furnished for the war, although they may have enlisted in other counties. The Volunteer Family Aid ordinance was then taken up and adopted by sections, after which the Board adjourned until Thursday next, at five e’clock P. M. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday, John Reynolds was tried for manslaughter, in causing the death of the celebrated Pat Mathews, on the morning of the 6th of February last. Mr. Pennoyer, landlord of the Stryker's Bay Hotel, and Miss Kate Smith and Miss Alice Gray were the only witnesses examined. Assistant District At- torney Whitehead appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Charles Spencer for the defence. The case will be resumed this morning at eleven o'clock. According to the City Inspector’s report, there were 353 deaths in the city during the past week— adecrease of 33 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 33 less than occurred during the corresponding weck last year. The re- capitulation table gives 2 deaths of alcoholism, 2 of diseases of the bones, joints, &c.; 65 of the brain and nerves, 2 of the generative organs, 6 of the heart and blood vessels, 128 of the lungs, throat, &c.;6 of old age, 11 of diseases of the skin and eruptive fevers, 4 premature births, 84 of diseases of the stomach, bowels and other digestive organs; 18 of uncertain seat and general fevers, 1 unknown, 10 of diseases of the urinary organs, and 14 from vio. lent causes, There were 248 natives of the United States, 7 of England, 63 of Ireland, 26 of Germany, and the balance of various foreign countries. The cotton market was more active yesterd ay, with an advance in prices. The sales embraced about 500 bales, on the basis of S8c. a 584c. for middling uplands, and 400 bales were reperted sold, to arrive, the period uncertain, inside of a month or two, at 58c., which afforded no cri- terion of the market, which closed firm. Flour was heavy and less active, and declined from 10c. to 25¢. per bbI. Wheat was less active, and declined from 2c. to 3c. per bushel. Corn fell off 1c. a 2c. per bushel, with a fair amount of sales. Round Western mixed was reported at Ghc. a 66c. Pork was heavy and fell off 50ci a 626. per bbl. Mess seld at $13 and prime at $12. The goverament contract for 1,090 bbis. of mess pork (in iron hoops), was taken at $13 50. $13 75, and the go- vernment contract for 950 bbis. of mess beef was taken at$13 93 for extra. Sugars were quiet aud sales light, which embraced 235 hhds. and 130 bags, at unchanged prices. Coffee was firm. The cargo of the Clifton was sold, which embraced 2,190 bags Santos, at p.t. Freight engagements were moderate. Wheat to Liverpool, was engaged in American vessels at 103d, a 11d. in bulk and bags, and at 13.4¢d. in ships? bags for London, The stock market was dull yesterday and prices were 443% per cent lower. Gold fell to 127 per cent; many joans om gold were called in. Exchange declined to 141 a King Victor Rmanuel had signed an amnesty for “ 142. Money was worth 6 percent om call.

Wuerr Are Greeiey’s Nive Henprep Txov- saxnp?—Where under the sun are Greeley’s nine hundred thousand abolitionists? They certainly have not enlisted; for our armies still need recruits, and Massachusetts, the great abolition State, is obliged to resort to a draft, in spite of her offers of two hundred dollars bounty. They certainly have not voted; for Pennsyl- vania and the Northwestern States have given abolitionism the cold shoulder most decidedly, and the State of New York shows a strong dis- position to go to the polls and do likewise. The conservative nine hundred thousand voted at the recent elections, as the results prove. The fact that conservative New Jersey, slaveholding Delaware and anti-negro Illinois have all filled up their quotas without drafting is in strange contrast to the case of abolition Massachusetts,and proves that # great many more thousands of conservatives have recently joined our armies. The emancipation proclamation, therefore, instead of stopping the war and destroying the rebels, has only stopped enlistments and de- stroyed the abolition party. How do Greeley and Andrew feel now? How are their swarms of recruits and their fabled nine hundred thousand? Corrrerion or THE PortticaL Log.—Some time since, before the October elections de- veloped the real current of public opinion, we announced that Wadsworth would carry this State. But the returns from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana reveal the fact that strong conservative tide has set in, and that it is roll- ing onward with momentous strides, sweeping everything before it. This revolution has been 80 rapid, 80 overwhelming, that we now correct our “Political Log,” and announce that we do not believe that Wadsworth can carry this State under any circumstances, but that he will be defeated by a large majority. We call upon ail those journals which published our former “Log” to give this correction as much publi- Cousvis closed in Lundou, on the 7th instant, at | city as they did our former simiemoat, pretty Upon the Rebel Army of Virginia. The public opinion of our loyal States ex- pects and demands an immediate advance by General MoClellan, in full strength, upon the great rebel army of Virginia. The season and the roads in that quarter are now the most fa- vorable of ali the year for active military ope- rations. Our troops, from the victorious fields of South Mountain and Antietam, are eager for the final settlement with General Lee, and they are believed to be sufficiently strong in numbers, with their late reinforcements, to march upon him at once and put him to flight. ‘There is a general apprehension, on the other hand, that our army may linger at Harper's Ferry until compelled there to go into winter quarters, and that thus our situation in Vir- ginia will in May, 1863, be pretty much as it was in May, 1862, when, by vigorous action now, the great work before us may be substan- tially accomplished before Christmas. The rebels in the West have been beaten back from Missouri and from the line of the Ohio river, and are now in full flight from Kentucky south- ward. They have been cut to pieces at Corinth, and ‘ignominiously ‘routed near Nashville. Their whole scheme of operations in the West haa been destroyed, and all that our victorious troops, under their able leaders, have now to do in that quarter, from Kentucky to the Guif of Mexico, isto gather up the fragments of the rebel armies which they have broken up and dispersed. Hence, with the universal idea of the superiority of McClellan’s army, the general belief that a decisive victory over the rebel army of Virginia at this time would be the death blow to the rebellion. Why, then, does not the army of General McClellan advance? We are informed that his soldiers are sadly in want of shoes, and that until they are supplied with shoes and some other essential articles of winter clothing they cannot advance. But who are responsible for these deficiencies? It is the business of the Secretary of War to know, and to call the guilty parties to account, and to see that these wants of our troops are at once supplied. Our loyal people will accept no paltry excuses for these delays in the forward movements of our armies, if thus all the great advantages we have lately gained over the enemy are to be lost, and all our present opportunities for decisive action by land and sea. The people of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana have declared in favor of # vigorous prosecu- tion of the war—not for the negro, nor for abolition, but for the Union. They have pro- nounced against our abolition disorganizers, and in favor of President Lincoln’s con- servative course, and in favor of post- poning the settlement of the question of African slavery until we shall have settled with the armies of this rebellion. And this will be the voice of New York; and it is the general be- lief, too, of our loyal States, that with an im- mediate advance upon the rebel army of Vir- ginia our secession disunionists of the South and our abolition disunionists of the North will speedily be put down and be buried in the same grave. Worxixowen’s Steme ror Hicuer Waces— MisManaGeMENt or THE National Finances.— We see that the era of workingmen’s strikes has just dawned, adding a new source of trouble to those under which the community has been suf- fering for some time past. The ‘longshoremen had a strike yesterday, demanding that their wages be increased from twelve shillings to fourteen shillings per day, and the usual plan of preventing others from working at the old price has been resorted to. The leather-workers in the “Swamp” have iso made a similar move, fixing a certain rate of prices, under which they say they will no longer work. The reason alleged is the large increase in the prices of all the necessaries of life. We have no doubt that within a week or two most, if not all, of the other trades will follow in the same course; and if their demands be not complied with much suffering and trouble are likely to result. ‘This state of things arises directly froin the mismanagement of our national finances by the Secretary of the Treasury. Owing to his igno- rance of the science of finance, and to the un- wise policy which he has adopted, the national credit has fallen frora twenty-five to thirty-five per cent. The prices of all commodities have adapted themselves to this depreciation of the currency, so that one has really to pay ahundred dollars im currency now for what, some months since, could be had at seventy- five dollars or less; and as the rates of wages have not kept pace with the depreciation of currency, and have not, in fact, been raised at all on account of it, the families of workingmen and of all others find themselves one-third poorer than they were some time since. The strikes which have commenced are the neces- sary and logical result of this condition of things. If the Secretary of the Treasury had been fitted for his high and responsible position we would not have been subjected to this trouble and difficulty, in addition to all the other difficulties through which the nation is passing Gaseiey's Reasov vor tue Deiat oF tan Rapicars 1 Pennsyivania.—Poor Greeley de clares that their party was defeated in Pennsy! vania from the fact that a majority of gone to the war were republicans. + This is not the case, as a glance at the following vote of Philadelphia conclusively shows. The loss of doth parties is about equal:— CONGRESSIONAL VOTE. —— 1860 —— ——1862.—— Dist. Rey'n. . Rep'n.

As the election returns come to hand the overthrow of the republican party at the polls appears to be more overwhelming. It is, in fact, the greatest political revolution that ever took place in the country, not excepting even that in Jackson’s time and at the election of Harrison. In Pennsylvania the State ticket is carried by the democracy, and the popular branch of the State Legisiature to such an ex- tent as to secure’a majority on joint ballot; so that the defeat of Wilmot for another term in the United States Senate is a foregone conclu- sion. To squelch the author ot the free soil proviso, which has had so much to do with the calamities of the nation, is a blow struck in the right place—a retribution which harmonizes with the fitness of things. Grow is also fortu- nately numbered with the defunct. Thaddeus Stevens would have shared the same fate had not Mr. Buchanan and the sympathizers with secession appeared as his prominent opponents, The revolution in Ohio is «till more extraor- dinary. The democratic majority in that State is 18,000-—being a gain of 50,000. Among the defeated is Bingham; and the notorious Wade has not the ghost of a chance of re-clection to the United States Senate—another just retri- bution, over which the friends of law and order and of constitutional rights will rejoice every- where throughout the land. In Indiana the democrats elected the State ticket and a ma- jority of both houses of the Legislature, which will give a democratic Senator for the vacancy caused by the expulsion of Bright. It is only in Towa that the republicans have held their ground, because, from the distance of that State, political light reaches it more slowly, and because its frontier is more distant from the seat of war. The strength, volume and rapidity of the popular current will be indicated still more clearly in November, when the elections in New York, New Jersey, [Minois, Michigan, Wis- consin, Minnesota and Massachusetts will take place. There can be little doubt that at least New York, New Jersey and Illinois will follow the example of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi- ana; and we would not be surprised to see even old Massachusetts reject Andrew for Governor, and elect such a State Legislature as willsend Sumner to the tomb of the Capulets. It is be- yond a question that the next Congress will be democratic, and that there will be a clear con- servative majority against the republican party. Now, what are the causes of this wonderful revolution? There had been little or no canvass, the press and free speech had been under rigid restriction and censorship, The influence of money and contracts was all on the republican side. Yet the people voted on the opposite side, and that of their own ac- cord, and without persuasion or inducements of any kind. Why have they done so? Because the republican party, which ousted the democ- racy from power on the ground of its corrup- tion, has proved itself ten times more corrupt, while at the same time its tyranny and utter incapacity for rule have brought the nation to the verge of ruin. The venality, ignorance and despotism of Congress, violating by its acts the clearest provisions of the constitution, and the incempetence of the War, the Navy and the ‘Treasury departments, have filled the people with intense disgust and alarmed them for the safety of the republic. And these revelations have been made by the republicans themselves, one set of them laying bare the iniquities of another set. Wit- ness the reports of the investigating commit- tees, in which the frauds and extravagance at St. Louis, under the auspices of Fremont, were ex- posed; the shoddy and shoe contracts; the delin- quencies of Senator Simmons, of Rhode Island; the course of Secretary Wellesin giving a two and a half per cent job to his brother-in-law, amounting to some $100,900, for doing what could be executed equally well without charge by some officer of the navy; the failure of the Navy Department to co-operate with General McClellan in his advance on Richmond; the mismanagement and blunders of the War De_ partment in causing a premature movement of the army of the West before the advance of the army of the East; dividing the Army of the Po- tomac, and afterwards failing to effect a junc- tion of the disjointed corps at the critical mo- ment; refusing to send reinforcements to Gene- ral McClellan; the appointment to importany commands of such incompetent generals as Fremont, Hunter and Phelps; the neglect to provide the army with clothes, shoes and tents, and sufficient surgical attendance for the wounded, and medical care and other neces- saries for the sick—all of which has been duly communicated by the soldiers’ letters to their friends at home, producing a most decided effect. Add to these causes of the popular revolution the suspension of habeas corpus in the loyal States; the summary arrests and arbi- trary imprisonments without trial; the pro. gramme of universal emancipation and servile insurrection in the South, and the extermina- tion of the whole people; the apprehension of the Northern States being overrun with the negroes of the South; the abolit onising of the republican party and its rapid develop- ment as a party of blood; lastly, the breaking down of the financial schemes of Secretary Chase, partly through a want of prac-, tical acquaintance with such business, and partly through a wilful disregard of measures which would have prevented a disastrous de- rangement of the currency, amounting to a de- preciation of thirty per eent; and no person need wonder at what has happened at the polls. Indeed, the wonder might well be if the result were different. For the honor of the country and for our hopes of its future, all who value free institu- tiohs will hail with joy this great moyement of the people. It will enable the President, whe est, to carry out the conservative policy ich he had contemplated from the begin- ning, and to apply the proper remedy to the evils we have enumerated. Heretofore he had been intimidated by assaults upon his family, For instance, in the proceedings of Hickman’s Congressional committee. He had been co- erced into various measures under threats of deposition by revolution and a reign of anarchy and terror. But now that it is proven by the elections that the radicals are powerless, and that he has the people to stand by him in de. fence of the constitution, he can get rid of his imbecile Cabinet, and appoint another which has the ability to rule and the will to carry on the government in accordance with the spirit of our institutions. He will be in a position to wage the war with a single view to the restora- tion of the Union, and to put down the rebellion by force of arms in the hands of white men on the battle field, and not by negro insurrections or by proclamations just as ineffectual as the @aye's bull against the comet, 1862.

The public are anxious to know the position of these candidates on the present crisis before they give them their support. We call upon each candidate to individually announce whether he is for sustaining the administration in the prosecution of the war, and will support ah practical measures of the President for sup- pressing the rebellion by force of arms. This is no time for quibbling. The people demand im this crisis of our nation distinct and positive pledges. Every one of those candidates who refuses to give such a pledge we shall oppose: Are you for supporting the President in all practical measures for putting down this rebel- lion by force of arms, or not? We insist upon an answer from each candidate. performance sensible people think that they have paid their money towards his salary fool- ishly, and that they might better have patron- ized some other actor. This theatrical General Fremont appeared for the first time in Missouri, where he accom- plished nothing. President Lincoln's. prover- bial generosity was appealed to, and he gave Fremont the benefit of a second trial in Western Virginia, where he achieved precisely the same result as in Missouri, Two such fail- ures would have disgusted any but the best natured President that ever bless- ed this country; but President Lincoln’s benevolence is inexhaustible, and he has at last concluded to try General Fremont for the third time. To put Fremont in command twice in the same State, however, would inevitably re- sult in the annihilation of all the Union forces in that Commonwealth; and therefore the Presi- dent has given him an entirely new field of operations. Fremont, like the bankrupts and heavy debtors of a few years ago, is now en- titled to the order of the G. T. T. He has literally gone to Texas. The feelings of the uphappy people of that beautiful section of the country, upon the receipt of this intelligence, may be imagined, but cannot be described. It would be equally impossible for us to ade- quately portray the general joy with which this information will be received by the peopie of this portion of the republic. The abolitionists will rejoice because Fremont, their favorite general, has departed in glory to a new com- mand. The public generally will content itself with rejoicing that he has departed. To be successful in the Department of Texas, Fremont will require maps, music, mules, money and mulattoes. We trust that the President will see that he is liberally supplied with these essentials without delay. Fremont will require many maps; for, although he is nicknamed the Pathfinder, he has a very bad habit of losing his way, especially when the enemy is anywhere on his road. To prevent this accident oc- curring again, as it did in the Shenan- doah valley, we advise the government to send on to Texas all the maps of the coast surveys and all other surveys, including a map of Africa, in which country Fremont has a much deeper interest than in this slaveholding nation. [I're- mont will also need music to inspire his spirits and solace his hours of rest. We all know how he doted upon his private brass band at St. Louis; and now that Muzio and Ullman are out of employment, and fiddlers are cheaper than horses, Secretary Stanton can provide him with a first class orchestra at a small expense. Mules will be necessary to draw that princely chariot in which Fremont always rides away from the battle field; and, since Greeley and the Tribune corps are otherwise engaged, the go- vernment will have to procure four-footed ani- mals for this purpose. Fremont will want money most of all, as his campaign in Missouri abundantly proves, and it may be well for the government to set apart a special fund, of from ten to twenty millions of dollars, upon which he may draw to pay his expenses and settle with his contractors. Lastly, Fremont can" not get along without mulattoes to wait upon him and swell his regal retinue. If his army is to remain in Texas any time, however, it will not be necessary for the government to send the mulattoes down to him. Supplied with these campaigning necessities— maps, music, mules, money and mulattoes— Fremont may be relied upon to accomplish something for himself, if not for the country. Without them the only results of his new cam- paign will be as worthless as those of his Mis. souri and Virginia exploits, and may be summed up in these three words—debts and contracts. Since the administration has determined to try Fremont for the third time, we insist upon it that this trial shall be a fair and final one, and that he shall be dismissed if found wanting. Forysy on rae Way 10 THe Mapnovse.—Our friend Forney, who happened to be in Phila delphia, conducting the canvass at the last elee- tions, delivered a flaming speech on the even- ing of the election over the tremendous vic- tories that he supposed the radicals had obtained, and closed by calling on the band and the audience to bring in the chorus by playing and singing the John Brown hyma. Negro worship bids fair to place poor Forney in the madhouse long before Greeley isready to take up his abode there. Work ror Mr. Secretary Srantox.—Is it not time for Mr. Secretary Stanton to be moving again in the work of arresting heretica; democrats? He must begin this work at once, and not confine it to such intractables as Hora- tio Seymour and Fernando Wood, but shut up in Fort Lafayette three hundred and fifty thou- sand democrats, or they will seize the State of New York in November. Lavra Keuyr's Tagatre.—The new comedy ,‘‘No Best for the Wicked,”’ which has 80 long been underlined, was produced Isst evening, to a crowded and fashionable house. It is an adaptation from the French, and, like most other pieces borrowed from that source, depends more upon its situations than upon its plot for its attraction. Of the latter, indeed, there is scarcely anything, the whole interest of the piece cen- tering round a sexagenarian bachelor, who marries a young girl in the expectation of finding a companion and nurse for his declining days, but who discovers that he has got instead a lively young woman, who keeps:him im a perpetual whirl of dissipation. The distresses of the old fellow and his ehifts and contrivances to get a little repose constitute the tun of the piece, and, we noed not gay, are capitally portrayed by Mr. Blake, who keeps the audience in continual roars of laughter. ‘Miss Laura Keone hasa part which suits her exactly and which brings out all tho qualities of this accomplished actress. Mias Emma Robertson also played with great spirit a rather difficult character. The remainder of the parts were vory fairly cast,and the elegant manner ia which the piece was put upon the stage is entitled to especial commendation. In this respect Miss Keone stands ee taste and acquaintance with what is going on in the European theatres always enabling her to give the imported B ager Which she pro- duces their proper framowork. this feature, as well as to the excellence of the acting, is the success of the new comedy due. It is a piece that will gain greatly on the second and third representations, and, judging by the favor with which it was received last night, will enjoy a lengthened run. Wattack’s THEATRE.—A new play at Wallack’s! What a pleasure to acritic to get hold of something which has never felt the keen edgo of his sculpel, something which nobody has as yot dissected, cut ap and sliced, as critics sometimes delight in doing. Therefore, with pleasure did ‘we betake ourselves to see the ‘‘new play” at Wallack’s, rubbing our critical bands in anticipation of something to ‘ve done, whorein a critic could show a discerning public (the public is always #0 discerning) that he could and would do his duty without fear, favor or affection. Crities are known to be iusensible to ali three. The title of this novelty did not strike us as atall bad— Bosom Friends.” There are probably worse titles to worse plays. We found there were to be four acts, winding up fearfully in despair and death. This promised something exciting. Mr. Union (Mr. Lester Wallack) is a kind, good hearted country gentioman, who has married a young wife (Mrs. Hoey), settled down on his property and devotes himself to his garden and his friends. {t is proper to add that be has a charming daughter (Mise M. Henriques), who is a credit to her family. Quondam acquaintances ‘pour in upon the happy Union, who is too unsuspecting to perceive that they abuse him and his hospitality, and endeavor to do him all the mischief im their powor, under the disguise of bosom friends. One young gentlemaa makes love to Mrs, Union, Another ‘Uninks he has discovered an intrigue, A third drops o hint to the husband, and so on, each doing his best to raise the very oid Harry, and ruin their friend’s poace and happiness forever. Union, poor man, never dreams of these plots, but is only anxious to catch a mischievous fox that plays havoc among bis poultry. the play proceeds the interest deepens in the many situations presented. ‘Yhe cage of our knife is blunted; or, rather, we have nothing to cut. ‘Bosom Friends,’ at least inthe hands in which we saw it last night, is seally au admirable pro- duction, and weil worthy of success. The high expecta- tion te'which every one in the audience is worked up at the close, a8 the terrible tragedy nears, is amusingly disappointed. The cast is a capitalone, and we have ne fault to find. May we oiten have as & piece to wit- nes as this latest Dorn of our New York stago— Bosom Friends." Tar Par or Drav Sorpiems—How Amounts Dum Can we Couectep —The Paymaster’s Department has nothing todo with the matter of attending to the pay of dead soldiers. Applications fer arrears of pay due docossed officers and soldiors must be made to Ezra B. Frenchy Becond Auditor of the Treasury. Circulars giving the forme by which such pay can be obtained can be procured from him. In addressing Mr. French in his official capa- city no postage necd be paid. When a certificate is ob- tained from his department it will be honored by any pay: master in the United States. Inreference to pensions, application must be made to the Commissioner of Pensions in Washington eity, from whom circulars may aiso be obtained on that subject. S8err-Coxvicrep or Treason.—The Tridune has declared that hostility and opposition to the administration are treason. If that position be tenable then Greeley is self-convicted of the crime, a traitor of the deepest dye. In Satur. day’s number of the Tribune he publishes ex- tracts from an article from Brownson’s Review: extending to three columns, in which the writer assails the administration in the fiercest terms, particularly Secretary Seward, the only man who has managed his department properly. He says “the chief responsibility rests on the Secretary of State and the President himself.” For what does the reader suppose Secretary Seward is particularly responsible? The con. duct of the war. If treason can be committed by any amount of opposition to the government, suvely Greeley has convicted himself by insert- ing with encomium and warm approbation the violent tirades of Brownson. He says it is writ- ten with the author's “characteristic ability’: and “vigorous logic,” his “views are pret. eented with ¢ explicitness of statement and maintained with earnestness, energy and in. trepidity, and often with brillant eloquence as well as stringent logic.” He therefore claims for it “a large share of attention and interest front intelligent readers in every quarter.” But not only does Greeley endorse the invectives of Brownsort against the President and the Secre- tary of State, making them “responsible for the calamities that have occurred in the conduct of the war,” but he backs him up for Congress in New Jersey, in order to enable him to denounce the government in the very halls of legislation: If this be not treason, according to the Tribune's own definition of it, then we should like to know what is? Perhaps Greeley claims to have a special license anda monopoly for dealing in the article. ae Tur Case or Many Reat-—Peritton ror Her Panvoy.—A petition to the Governor is in cir- culation throughout the city praying that a free nardou may be promptly granted to Mary Real, New Sraamamr Lins 1o Havana xp Nassav.—The want of additional steamers between Now York and Havana has been muct felt since the withdrawal of ali except the Columbia and British Queen, on account of the government taking them for hates We tbat \terprising WO placed the Brivis Hanmer Paoli of the ie to Havana, touching at Nessa, com: ve no doybt the Pacific, trom ber quali- Emerge pretty ab ths should, © very large stare Of the pubis patronage. The Booksellers’ Trade Sale. ‘The fourth day’s sale, which took place yosterday, was ag spirited as those of last week. During the early part of the morning there was a little datness in the bids, arising from the fact that those buyers who had lett the city to spond the Sunday with their families had not re turned; but by noon the room began to fill up, and the ‘prices rose accordingly. ‘The invoice of J. B, Smith & Co, was freely duplicated in several instances, without any marked pevuliarity abou particular book. Theo, Bliss & Co.'s list also wold rer woll throughout. H. C, Baird's samplos met witha Foster's sale, but did not create much excitement. “Bxcursion among the Poots’’ ran freely ata little under the duplicating price.
